For the firmware we control, there is relatively little surface area and it is easy for us to continue to maintain. For the firmware that is delivered or embedded by Intel, we're in the same boat as everyone else using the same CPUs.
It’s what was called out in the Wikipedia.
The fact implicit conversions exist doesn't really weaken the type system, the two are different concepts. If you define an overload or a type specialization on both the compiler will call the right version without any ambiguity. You can even define your own implicit conversions itself, and sometimes they have their uses, like when you need to wrap values in proxies but you still don't want the user to actually have to know that.

The template system and stuff like auto and such are crazy powerful. The Rust typesystem doesn't suffer from the C compatibility baggage and has been designed almost 30 years later, so it is amazing C++ can be so powerful and feel modern despite it being a forty years old language.

I write both Rust and C++ and I have to say, you can do a lot of type safe stuff in C++ too. Most patterns can be backported from Rust and while the ergonomics are not obviously at par, there is still a lot you can do. In C++you can do a crazy amount of metaintrospection at compile time that Rust can only do using procedural macros. Also constexpr and C++20's constinit and consteval are still more powerful than Rust's const.

How a solitary prisoner decoded Chinese for the QWERTY keyboard
Thinking this way is the exact problem. You believe you know what a plant needs but that's not true. We don't even know how plants "works" entirely.

There's one easy proove, anything grown the way you describe taste like nothing compared to an healthy plant. Quality farming is not about volume or look but the actual quality of the produce.

I wouldn't call what you say science at all. As soon as you state that you know everything and that someone who disagrees is anti-science is just plain arrogance, not science. If you're really interested in science though, please read the huge amount of research on soil and plant that has been done since the 1950's so that you catch up at least....

Edit:
Forgot to mention something, soil is not only for plants, there's a whole ecosystem that depends on it and need to be taken into account
Interestingly enough consumers drove the market for tasteless tomatoes. customers bought more tomatoes that were more brightly colored and more round, which drove selection for these characteristics
UK TV used to do this during down hours. I remember watching teletext pages early in the morning before our TV had teletext. I also remember the sheer excitement when we bought a TV with teletext on it, and my dad telling me he had friends who didn’t buy newspapers because of it. I was amazed.
You cannot hand over what you don't have. A software being offline has that advantage going for it. You don't see law enforcement going to the GIMP's development team saying "we need this persons GIMP data", which is arguably more likely to be abused.
I think the best approach in many cases is to bring data management into a specialised application, rather than using spreadsheets as a database. They can use the CRUD applications we all write or some off-the-shelf solution, but the important thing is that it provides validation, schemas etc.

Then you provide a spreadsheet export or direct connection that can be hooked into another spreadsheet with all the formulas, pivot tables and so on.

This way the core data is safeguarded and kept clean while not requiring constant development for every report requested.
I just read Diaspora, and find it far from hard sci-fi.

The Wikipedia page says “Egan invents several new theories of physics”, and that to me is not hard sci-fi.
Too many words is a yellow flag; those words including a lot of opining about out of scope things like how users might be unnecessarily scared by the legal language of GDPR is an orange flag; some of their points being factually incorrect is a red flag. Maybe they are truly honest and just have a bad GDPR + PR team, but I just can't bring myself to trust them. From their apology;

> The best example is the catchall phrase ‘personal information’, a non-specific term that understandably raises concerns for regular readers.

Personal information is actually a pretty accurate designation with sufficiently clear boundaries in GDPR context and the concerns it may raise are perfectly valid. It can't be downplayed to "just legalese". E.g only because IP address are personal information you had to separate your collection and retention policies very clearly, and could be help accountable on that.

> The most unclear and damaging part of the original document stated that we collect personal information “…necessary for law enforcement, litigation and authorities' requests (if any)”.

> In addition, the steps we have taken to anonymise all stored data means that it would be of extremely limited use to anyone.

Be that as it may, those records are required for your GDPR compliance too, an information that is pretty useful about how honestly this policy will be executed.

> It is verifiably untrue that we hid the exact data being collected. As noted by journalists who investigated the issue, Audacity is free and open source software, and an inspection of its source code shows that the data it shares is extremely limited.

That is only true for the client code. To my knowledge the server side code is not public, as such it is completely unverifiable outside an audit context that whether you merely collected the IP address or also retained it for example.

I am not an active user anymore, but I hope people make repeated data takeout requests just for that redundant bit of evidence in case they are found to be in non-compliance.
How do you distinguish between "made a crappy chat app with Python+Flask because I wanted to play with Flask [and perhaps by making it public my hiring prospects will improve as a bonus, or not, but I don't have a strong reason to just keep it private on my machine]" and "made a crappy chat app with Python+Flask because I want to put Flask on my resume and hopefully my hiring prospects will improve"?

Or is it just that it's crappy enough to turn you off? If that's the case I'm kind of in agreement with the sibling that it seems overly harsh. Github-as-code-archive is a fine use case, I've never expected that someone linking their account should also be actively contributing to some projects used by other people. I'm happy just to see code of any sort, I don't care if the project is dumb or half-completed or finished or abandoned or still being worked on with a bunch of other people.

The only account that rubbed me the wrong way when I interviewed FTEs and interns was the kind that had nothing but a bunch of forks of other repos on it, no commits in them. It's like they were trying to pull a fast one on me, hoping I'd only look at it for a few seconds and think "oh lots of repos, good coder!" I'd have preferred an account be literally empty, because then at least I can believe they only linked to it out of some imagined (I hope) dumb HR filter as shallow as "has github acccount? check!"
> The thing is, if a device uses the quantum-mechanical properties of the universe to do calculation, then it is a quantum computer;

Except this definition includes classical computers as well. At the scales of current transistors, quantum effects are required to explain their inner workings, and they are used to perform computations.
Don't downvote me. But whenever I can't figure out the politics of the historian in the first five sentences of their writing, I assume it's a Republican. Then I stop reading because I don't know any intellectually honest Republicans. I know this author is Canadian, but Being a Republican is a state of mind that transcends American election cycles, and here it is, on full display, a bad faith muddy criticism of Joe Biden. To summarize what you might skim, "The libs are hypocrites about... something. I won't give any specific examples, but here's some Intellectual Dark Web energy vibes via Mahatma Gandhi quotes to let you know where I sort of stand."

So I wish submitters would stop trying to make Secret Republican happen.

To a first approximation, everything.

Most product engineers interact with it by querying TAO, which you can read about in various blog posts, but is basically a cache in front of MySQL (this is a vast oversimplification).

Windows 11 maybe?

Of course you would see the effects once it is established. Since it was rejected for the most part, this mechanism cannot work.

You can deny these fears all you want, but TPM is not for you, the security benefits are negligible. Perhaps put it on your server, but I don't see the necessity either.

https://secret.club/2021/06/28/windows11-tpms.html

I don't think anyone can make reasonable argument against the problems put on the table here.

You can also look up the FIDO group. While they are important to strengthen and develop encryption, there is a reason for its corporate sponsors aside user security. The user is a hostile entity in TPM security schemes.

Not exactly. The original URI syntax didn't allow several characters including "{|`><}\^ plus whitespaces anywhere; the quoted section of RFC 3986 assumes that the string is already well-formed (thus the regex can't be used for the validation). Even the modern URL Standard has an outright failure [1].

The necessary technical competence is identifiable in the personal projects. In my experience though the prospective employer is incapable making any such determination from provided evidence.

I suspect that technical competence is an irrelevant aside to what you are looking for. It sounds like you are looking for someone who can check a box, perhaps copy/paste or a gear on an assembly line. If you are strictly looking for a box checker then I would suggest hiring people who never mention personal projects of any kind on a resume. You are looking strictly for labor, a hard worker, not initiative. Work harder, not smarter, and your targeted candidate will do exactly that.

The whole point of personal projects is the opposite: initiative building something new because there is a passion to build, grow, and improve.
Pretty good already. I mentioned in another comment that Fedora 34 respins as of this week have full support for the Framework Laptop built in. On Ubuntu 21.04, everything works out of the box except the fingerprint reader, which requires a newer libfprint.
> The problem, though, is that very often people make this decision without fully understanding the tradeoff they're making.

This is exactly what I mean though. How are you determining whether someone "fully understands?" And why is the assumption that, after years of extensive media coverage topic, people who are still on these platforms "don't fully understand" the danger, as opposed to they understand and simply don't thing the risk outweigh the benefits?
That's cool, looking forward to any feedback when you're done.
sure, but the examples he gave are all designed to be easy to service AFAIK. I only have personal experience with a Pinebook, but it is fantastic. Just one bottom panel for most access, and one keyboard to remove for the rest. It is extremely hacker friendly.

But it's not a powerhouse CPU like this. A rock64 is no competition for a current generation Intel I5/7 AFAIK.
First, nothing changed, HN people were always treating studies that way.

And second, it is not scientific behavior to treat a single study as gospel. It is scientific when consensus emerges from many different studies and when those are reproduced and verified.

Pearl clutching over "peer-review" mostly suggests people don't know what peer review can or can not do.
When the government hands out money that is artificial but when the government says it you make more money you will net less total because you benefits will be cut that is natural. It's hilarious to me how simpletons are coopted into parroting rich people propaganda and think they are so wise.
I've read about this type of technology before, the development kit (from another vendor) was >>$1000 so I had to pass. The power supply is an interesting piece of hardware. They use a high voltage generator module, and then switch the output using a pair of very high voltage optoisolators to directly enable/ground the output, allowing them to output 1khz 10kv square waves!
Would you like some optimism or realism with your estimate, sir?

No I’m not, all I’m saying is that by OPs logic, I can claim to have a computer with only a part of it.

“It’s not very useful but it can make computations” is a very low bar to pass, and very basic discrete (classical) logic can clear that without problems.

I noted in another comment that we partnered with Compal as our main manufacturer, as they are one of the strongest notebook manufacturers currently and they believe in our mission.

For many of the other modules, we've partnered with other manufacturers specialized in different areas. We have a series of technical deep dive blog posts where we go into each: https://frame.work/blog/framework-laptop-deep-divethe-touchp...
I mean, that's why I wrote that should one hire single men only. That way, there won't be any type of sexism or harassment. I am beginning to think that the Islamic way of strictly separating men and women makes sense. Let women work at companies founded by women, and men with men. That way, everyone wins, so it seems to me.

I don't know, I'm just thinking aloud here.

It is pretty scary because most of these new features or enhancements are buggy. By not adopting SemVer, users of MySQL who prefer stability (oxymoron?) have no obvious upgrade path. They could be happily using version 8.0.123, and then upgrade to version 8.0.126 to get some security fix, and suddenly encounter a bunch of functionality and/or performance regressions.

Some examples...

WL#10310 Redo log optimization:

Feb 2018, initial commit 6be2fa0bdbba, landed in 8.0.11 (Apr 2018)

Jun 2018, crash regression fix commit 270d18368650, landed in 8.0.13 (Oct 2018)

Apr 2019, performance regression fix commit 75c4f7161a56, landed in 8.0.18 (Oct 2019)

WL#5655 - InnoDB: Separate doublewrite file to ensure atomic writes:

Dec 2019, initial commit ce14ef911, landed in 8.0.20 (Apr 2020)

Feb 2020, data loss regression fix commit c1bc61dc7, landed in 8.0.20 (Apr 2020)

May 2020, stall regression fix commit 00b284707, landed in 8.0.21 (Jul 2020)

In comparison, Cassandra during the DataStax days was extremely buggy, but at least it tried to follow SemVer. So the operators can follow some simple guideline, e.g. >=2.0.14 is fine, >=2.1.17 is fine, >=2.2.9 is fine. Of course regression can still happen, but that would be an exceptional case.
For you young people, there is one language which is called "executable line noise".

This is valid Perl code syntactically, except Perl complains of invalid or incompatible regexp modifiers.

So, if you chose the characters carefully an url like that could be executable in Perl (but not this one or urls in general).
How novel is the idea then?
> […], but Being a Republican is a state of mind that transcends American election cycles, […]

Bear in mind though that the word 'republican' tends to mean 'someone who wishes to live in a republic and abolish the monarchy', once you leave the context of politics in North America. A Dutch republican could very well vote progressive/leftist, whilst wishing to get rid of the monarchy.

As other commenters have noted, this case study further supports the widespread observations that COVID-19 vaccines reduce the chance of severe (symptomatic) illness but do not necessarily prevent infection and transmission.

The authors of this study conjecture that the unvaccinated asymptomatic “patient 40” may have been the source of the infections seen in the other fully vaccinated patients - however this was a minor point as limited rational and evidence was provided.

That being said, IMO there seems to be a growing public opinion that unvaccinated individuals are to blame for the increasing dominance of variants of concern (delta, gamma, etc).

One counterpoint that I’ve come across during my own review of the literature, is the idea that imperfect vaccines can cause selective pressure which enhances the fitness of highly virulent pathogens. For example see this peer reviewed publication from 2015: “Imperfect Vaccination Can Enhance the Transmission of Highly Virulent Pathogens” (https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/jou...).

My understanding is that this is a relatively new and perhaps highly understudied phenomenon. I wanted to share the idea here because it seems conspicuously missing from many of these discussions. Furthermore, I’d love to hear feedback from someone with more expertise - or just trade relevant links with others who are diving into primary sources as a way to form an educated and well rounded opinion.

> you might want the behaviour shown here of not short-circuiting. Or you might want to create a bitwise function that also allows calling on single-bit (i.e. boolean) values.

In both cases, I think the risk-benefit ratio is way too skewed towards the risk of creating ugly, hard to detect bugs. When I don't want short circuiting from happening, I just assign the RHS of the expression to a variable beforehand; if I want a boolean to become an integer, I make it explicit with a cast.

Sometimes, using certain C and C++ debatable features feels like attempting to shave yourself using a dagger. The fact you could do that doesn't mean you should, or even that it is a good idea.
>Dr Lynch said no defence witnesses turned up to Mr Hussain's trial because they were told they would be arrested if they entered the US.

and i guess some of his witnesses would be facing the same. A fair trial so to speak.

It is pretty telling that HP and US would like to have the guy prosecuted in US instead of UK - i mean i'm pretty sure that the alleged fraudulent inflation of the company valuation is a crime in UK too, and as it was supposedly committed in UK, it would be only natural to prosecute it in UK, yet they want to do it in US.

No worries though - i'm pretty sure that the guy flies a lot, and it is only a matter of time before US Marshals divert his plane into US airspace and the justice gets served cold.
Very, very rarely. I’m guessing in this case extradition was deeply profitable to US for some reason.
I think the crux of the matter is that for almost all other such professions (MD, Engineers, Lawyers, etc.), there is a more formal type of gatekeeping when it comes to recruiting.

Education, licenses, and similar - often in combination.

The world of software development is MUCH more open to people that necessarily don't have the correct formalities, because there's a common knowledge that there are tons of talented people that never studied CS / Software Engineering / etc.

That, combined with high pay, of course attracts a lot of incompetent people.

So what would the solution be, to require all "professional" developers to have a degree and/or some professional license? I mean, yes, it could work - just look at the Cisco certification system. Some of those are quite rigorous, so the networking industry knows that if you hire someone that hold certain certs, they're probably competent.

But, then again, most the certifications boom of the 90s kinda died out.

That's why we're stuck with the grinding leetcode + technical interviews + side projects situation today.
Honestly, I feel much safer getting my apps form F-Droid than any big "official" app-store.

I was searching for a QR code reader since oneplus removed the one built in the camera app for some reason (f*ck you oneplus, that's the last time I'm giving you my money) and all the results in the Google Play Store seemed like ad/spy-ware even though they had millions of downloads and top ratings. F-Droid gave me much cleaner options without ads or telemetry. Same for weather apps and audio players (yes, I'm THAT guy who still has MP3s).

While they don't have the best UX in the world, apps on F-Droid seem much lighter on resources, data and battery, not to mention better privacy, than what you find on the Play Store. Add in gems like New Pipe and Blokada which make F-Droid priceless and IMHO the only reason why I'm stil on Android.
