> The F/OSS community has a weird collective amnesia about exploits that rubs me the wrong way...

If you repeat something frequently enough, a lot of people will regard it as true. And a lot of people are extremely reluctant to reevaluate their judgements after they've made them, even in light of new information.

IIRC, the "FOSS is more secure" refrain started in the 90s/00s, when security was an afterthought even at companies like Microsoft and Apple and Linux was unusual enough to fly under the radar when there were a lot of big, high-profile worms circulating. But since then some closed-source commercial software has gotten much more secure, and FOSS has gotten more popular, but remains plagued by important projects that get by on shoestring resources.
I did this to learn JS and React Native and it let me get started quickly, but wow was my code horrible. It was a good year before I stopped doing really stupid things in JS, because I only ever had learned enough JS to "Get Things Done".

This was in stark contrast to how I learned Java and C#, I deep dived into the internals of the languages and their runtimes (and at one point even worked on a version of the .NET CLR!), and all the code I wrote was in a mindset where I was cognizant of exactly what the runtime was doing to my code, how memory layout looked, how the GC works, and so on and so forth.

I would've spent a year being 100% more productive if I'd spent just another week or two learning JS properly.
The MMU is not really a requirement in this situation, a processor with a real MMU is emulated in software[1] on the ESP32 (this is the virtual machine referred to in the article and comments)

Sounds like ivermectin is going through something similar. This off-patent, cheap, and safe drug is able to significantly reduce COVID-19 symptoms [0], and is extremely likely to be a potent prophylactic and treatment for COVID-19 [1], to the extent that the third wave in North America wouldn't have happened if it was used. The inventor, Satoshi Omura, won a Nobel Prize for inventing the drug in 2015, and tried to convince Merck (the original manufacturer) for many months to conduct an ivermectin trial for COVID-19, to no avail. On July 1st, he finally found a Japanese company called Kowa to charitably conduct a clinical trial for ivermectin, without Merck's help. Amazing right? But what response does Omura get from Western media? Quickly, his announcement video was deleted from YouTube [2]. You cannot find any English news about the Kowa trial being conducted. A few days ago, Omura was interviewed about ivermectin for the first time, on Yahoo Japan News [3]. Quoting him (using non-ideal Google Translate)

> "My impression of WHO is that I feel sorry for being caught in a dilemma. Until now, I have only seen bright light in my life as a researcher. But this time, I learned for the first time after reading this article that shadows also exist in the world... Ivermectin is no longer a scientific issue, but a political issue." --Satoshi Omura

It seems like big tech's misinformation crusade is biting us and science in the ass.

> I'd recommend taking a look at Singapore Math[0] to get an idea of what kids in those age ranges are actually capable of doing, provided that adults shed preconceptions that children ought to be "sheltered from hard scary stuff", and instead encourage them.

So much this. I've managed to make learning fun for my three year old son. All too often we turn some daily scenario into a fun exercise and a well-meaning family member will exclaim "he can't possibly know that!". I assume they intend to shield him from the inevitable failure they believe I'm setting him up for by asking these questions, but he usually figures it out. And when he doesn't, he still gets a kick out of understanding it when we go through it together.

I repeatedly ask them to not make these comments. The more often he hears them say these things, the more liable he is to start believing them himself and say "I can't figure this out because I'm only x years old".

I believe that if kids were allowed to be challenged and excel at the things they show an interest in and predisposition to, the scholastic standard would be much higher. Instead of adults deciding what children of certain ages are "supposed to" be able to do and not to do.

My biggest fear at the moment is for his excitement at learning being crushed when he starts school.
I think the fact that it slides in slowly is what it makes it creepy. I was scrolling/skimming the article and all of a sudden I saw movement to the side and it freaked me out.
My personal experience is very very different, and is why I "quip these are too hard."

I explain below, but since Singapore was mentioned, I need to ask a cultural question first:

What do parents and teachers from outside the US do when a child DOESN'T understand math? How is math taught so that kids don't end up crying, getting sick, or hating themselves when faced with math problems? Or is there selection bias: it does happen, but "those kids" are left behind, and never seen by the rest of the world?

My personal experience with kids and math:

I'm in the US, and have one child who repeatedly could not complete math work during school, and would bawl and protest how stupid they were when given math homework at home. Completing it would take hours. Far behind, they could not multiply at age 8 or do fractions at 11. Tutors couldn't cover in an hour what other students finish in 10 minutes. Yet doctors indicated there's no learning disability.

So this leads to my perspective: a prodigious child may certainly be capable of these and enjoy the challenge. But for some others, this may succeed in making them feel worse about themselves, because it's yet another example math they don't understand.
Without getting too into the illegal weeds, how do people even get the stuff in the first place to experiment with? I haven't had a drug dealer connection for 15 years.

I'm really surprised at just how much I like my Apple TV. I (wrongly) assumed it was a bit of a joke of a product for many years.

The latest 4k model is ridiculously fast (despite using an 'old' A12 SoC). Across the board it just works better than any Android TV, Fire TV or Roku I've ever used.
Their OCSP servers have always been spotty. OCSP stapling helps guard against that, at least.
I would kinda hope that phrasing stuff as a question wouldn't affect the viability of a lawsuit one way or the other.

Otherwise I'd expect people to leak trade secrets as a series of questions, leak top secret info as a series of questions, etc.

I kinda hope it's the underlying substance, not how you phrase it, that determines this sort of thing :)

Just pick one.

That's probably more simple than you'd want to hear, but there is no such thing as "best". If you search for the best in anything, you can find tons of posts/articles/whatever all suggesting different tools are the best. That's the beauty of the internet. You'll always find something to substantiate your assumptions, or in this case make you doubt them.

I can only speak to your music production ambition, but I've spent way to much time looking for the best DAW, compressor/effect/synth plugin, best hardware. All those things are distractions. See which ones are popular and available for your platform and pick one. Learn to produce music first, it doesn't matter what tool you do that in, if a year from now you end up deciding you don't like your tool you can still change it. Its like worrying about which language to program in without even being able to write simple programs. Just pick one.
Depends on the brand. The modern Swiss Water process (which is what most high-end espresso brands use nowadays, since it's cheaper and doesn't rely on chemicals) uses osmosis to remove 99.9% of the caffeine from the coffee bean.
well if the original studies are inadequate simply because N is too low, then grouping many of them can resolve that problem.

Hope this is helpful: the docs at https://caldom.org/docs/ have the table of contents cut off if the window is less than about 1800 px wide. Lots of screens are 1440 or 1280 or even 1024 px wide and won't be able to properly view the documentation. I think it would only take a few simple CSS changes to fix this.

Very important. The author doesn't even begin to directly discuss the way batteries are being impacted by a move away from fossil fuels.

At some point, black people in US were punished for drinking from the wrong water fountains. Maybe locking people up is a bit harsh but people know the consequences no? Maybe we should recognize that there is value in having people in a society follow the rule of law.
FTA: “Microsoft has developed its own Linux distro, CBL-Mariner, and released it under the open source MIT License.”

The GitHub repo (https://github.com/microsoft/CBL-Mariner) confirms that license. Linux is GPL2 licensed, so that can’t be included. Is this more a distro builder than a distro, with the builder being MIT licensed?
I'm not saying the opposite or otherwise supporting Modi.
I was trying to make a more subtle point about our ability to discuss things without always being reminded of the all too important political struggles we all have to pay attention to. Your comment seems to prove my point that we all have this instinct of making sure everybody is reminded that if you just hint that somebody awful could perhaps accidentally have stumbled upon a policy that could make sense, you should never talk about that, otherwise you'll give your opponent a validation. I know, that's how we humans work. I'm just saying that sometimes it's a bit unfortunate that we do work that way.

The XHTML 2.0 "standard" was ditched on the web as no major browsers wanted to support it (and mostly still don't [1]).

Also, most browsers today no longer support XHTML 1.x "Strict" modes, the errors they surfaced, and instead just laxly parse all XHTML 1.x with the same parsers they use for "HTML5". (IE11 I believe was the last browser with XHTML "Strict" support and used a proper XML parser and error reporting when parsing XHTML.)

[1] Outside of how XHTML 2.0 influenced HTML5's list of "semantic DIVs" the tags like ARTICLE and SECTION that don't have any meaningful semantics in current browsers but are nice when you get bored of surrounding everything in DIV. XHTML 2.0's standard attached actual meanings to those tags and had a lot of specified behavior for how those tags would operate. The only surviving "tag behavior" from XHTML 2.0's plan was DETAILS, I believe. I also believe the exact lists of tags are disjoint and XHTML 2.0 had tags that didn't even make into the official "semantic DIV" bucket, are out of spec in HTML5, but HTML5 browsers will mostly just ignore and fallback to treating unknown tags as fallback DIVs anyway.

It's not a contradiction. Whoever would have ordered NSO or similar actor to hack Bezos' phone is probably after more juicy info than a dick pic or at least wouldn't leak it for 'lulz' and thereby revealing that the phone is compromised somehow.
Everybody says it's important, but for the wrong reasons. It's treated like a contest, to get "ahead," get high test scores, get into a desired college, and hopefully major in STEM. Then it can be safely forgotten.

I know adults from the countries that are supposed to have wonderful math education (high test scores), and they forget their math too.

I think the people who remain good at math in adulthood were the ones who developed a genuine interest in math as an end unto itself, and figured out a way to keep up with it after college.

Some segments on HN have strong anti-scientist sentiments (even while they proclaim to be pro-science), assumine we all are crooked, stupid or both, hence your insightful and reasonable comment being downvoted.

Is there fraud? Sure. Is there a lot of fraud happening in American science? I don't think so. To quote the article:

"Many of the trials came from the same countries (Egypt, China, India, Iran, Japan, South Korea, and Turkey), and when John Ioannidis, a professor at Stanford University, examined individual patient data from trials submitted from those countries to Anaesthesia during a year he found that many were false: 100% (7/7) in Egypt; 75% (3/ 4) in Iran; 54% (7/13) in India; 46% (22/48) in China; 40% (2/5) in Turkey; 25% (5/20) in South Korea; and 18% (2/11) in Japan. Most of the trials were zombies. Ioannidis concluded that there are hundreds of thousands of zombie trials published from those countries alone. "

In our case n = value of the input, log(n) = size of the input. Complexity is expressed relative to the size of the input. Size of the input is also usually expressed as n, which is shadowed by "value of the input" in the problem statement, so "sublinear with respect to n" has different meaning than "sublinear with respect to size of the input", & saying "sublinear" when talking about complexity implicitly translates into "sublinear with respect to the size of the input", which is incorrect without any additional statements - exponentiation algorithm is "linear with respect to the size of the input".

> I don't know about the other person's ideas, but decentralization plus better anonymization and pseudonimization, with always-on strongest-reasonably-posible encryption, seems like the direction to go.

Yeah, projects like IPFS (which you reference above) are working towards this, but JavaScript still works over IPFS. Plus, fingerprinting techniques are pretty bonkers. Most of it comes down to JS and various state you keep on your local machine (cookies, flash cookies, etc.), but I think you need that. How do you maintain a session with a peer without some kind of token/cookie?

I heard about Singaporean math a while ago and looked up some youtube videos. It seemed like they showed clever ways to solve highly stylized problems, but nothing that would actually ever come up in the real world. To be fair, I only watched 3 videos, but they were all from different channels, so I assumed they were a decent sample of what Singaporean math is about.
Lots of good courses on Coursera and edX. Khan Academy is good too. I particularly recommend the A-level prep sequence from Imperial College London on edX

But if you really want to maintain and maybe even further develop your math skills after getting back up to speed, I think the best long term strategy is to do personal creative and/or commercial projects in domains that interest you and that make heavy use of math. E.g. low level 3D graphics programming, etc
