Google doesn't really do a manual review of every submitted app (I don't know how many minutes/hours they spend on a single submission but I guess the cost of this alone might add up to more than $100 if the account is used to submit a lot of apps/new versions per year)
Miners don't set the transaction cost, they can only maximize fee revenue by picking the highest fee transactions at that time in the mempool. So, if it becomes unprofitable or not profitable enough for the taste of the miner, hashrate will go down, which will lead to a difficulty adjustment, which means overall electricity usage per transaction goes down.

So its scenario #2 in your comment.
A good start is to try easier problems that will hopefully provide some insight into the hard problem. I.e. if you have some theorem you want to prove about all matrices of a certain form then do it for 2x2 and 3x3 matrices first or something.

Straight up numerical examples help me a lot as well, so a first approach is to write some code that generates specific cases I can play around with.

Obviously the usefulness of this varies a lot depending on the field and the problem.

Personally I really like coming up with counterexamples to stuff, i.e. if someone has an idea for something they think is true I'm really good at coming up with random examples that break it, so if I'm trying to prove something occasionally I take a break and try to work out what a counterexample would look like and this often provides insight into why counterexamples can't exist.

Before LSP, it was always annoying getting things setup. You want to get serious with a new language, spend a day configuring Emacs first. Or, fix your 3 year old config. Now it all pretty much just works! With native-comp its even better. Plus I'm using lot of modern features that I never did earlier, eg. renaming, automatically remove imports, see the inferred type in minibuffer.

Flycheck still makes it a bit slow. I think, one big missing piece is lack of multiple threads, which often makes few things a bit laggy. For example, if I'm reading a big C++ source code with indentation guides[1], even with native-comp it can lag a bit.

Wow, I am surprised Apple is taking this route. It's not like iCloud was a haven for sharing illegal content. I love the security features of iOS but honestly this may have pushed me to move to an Android device running GrapheneOS.

Honestly, any time there is a new policy to "protect children" it is almost always incredibly invasive and it always feels like there is some other motive and "protecting children" is used to scare anyone who tries to question it.

One thing about the memory bus is that it is a perfectly good bus for devices. You absolutely can put something like a computer into a memory socket and use it as a device. You simply latch onto a particular memory address that's not going to be used for memory and whenever you see that you know the memory bus is for your device.

I don't know if this is merely form factor compatible or an actual device for a SO-DIMM memory socket but there really isn't anything stopping you making a DIMM socket peripheral device except the need for external power.

After reading the post and as a parent of two kids who are in middle school now...I'm pretty happy with what I see. I didn't expect to be based on the comments I read here before reading the article though.

I know a local family who has a daughter who's been in therapy for the last 3 years because she fell victim to the type of thing Apple is discussing in this post. They are firmly advocates for better parent education and oversight, sharing their experience so that other people can hopefully never have to deal with the same thing. They told us about an app called Bark[1] that's supposed to really help with a lot of this stuff and seems inline with what Apple is talking about here. I'm pretty happy to see it will be built in.

> The Messages app will use on-device machine learning to warn about sensitive content, while keeping private communications unreadable by Apple.

All the parental controls in the world don't prevent the fact that getting your kids a phone in this day and age is a pretty terrifying experience if you know what type of things are out there.

> When receiving this type of content, the photo will be blurred and the child will be warned, presented with helpful resources, and reassured it is okay if they do not want to view this photo. As an additional precaution, the child can also be told that, to make sure they are safe, their parents will get a message if they do view it. Similar protections are available if a child attempts to send sexually explicit photos. The child will be warned before the photo is sent, and the parents can receive a message if the child chooses to send it.

The floodgates on private employer requirements seem to be opening pretty rapidly. Two in-person tech conferences I plan to attend in the fall are both requiring vaccinations to attend.

It seems especially reasonable when going somewhere (like a conference or an office that allows continued WFH) is pretty much optional. Of course, it's more complicated if, say, you're in sales and it's customers who impose the requirement.

https://erlang.org/doc/programming_examples/bit_syntax.html

> say sendSeq was one bit but we still wanted it to take 3 bits:

> [0] ++ pad 3 sendSeq ++ poll ++ recvSeq

In Erlang you could do this to get something padded (or truncated) to the correct size:

<< 2:3 >> ;; corresponds to the 3 bits <<010>>

So you can do something like this to ensure the precise bit size of each field:

<< 0:1, SendSeq:3, Poll:3, RecvSeq:3>>
I like to think that different places serve different purposes for me. When I think of the woods I think of a place to relax, connect with nature and to take my mind off of work. To make that my workplace where I am introducing the stresses of workplace challenges or even the occasional work crisis, only serves to corrupt that space and my connection to it.

Disclaimer: I realize not everyone would share that point of view (and clearly having an office in the woods is working well for you), but that's my perspective on it.

One is not better they are just different.

If you value more expressive data types and constructs to read/write your data then PostgreSQL is better. If you don't need those but do need to be able to scale to very large data volumes then MySQL is better.

I don't understand why people keep wanting to make this a competition. It's been going for decades and it was stupid back then as it is today. The databases are both popular, both high quality but serve different needs.
No, the lower-end is infiltrating CSAM distribution networks the old-fashioned way.
>doesn't the redo log fill up?

It's not a redo/undo log. It's more like (simplifying things here) having multiple copies of things and different sessions/connections "see" different sets of data. That's why you need to vacuum the database periodically, to garbage collect old rows that are no long accessible to any sessions/transactions.

See https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/postgresql-concurrency

>is there enough storage space for that?

You do need to make sure you aren't too close to filling your storage, postgres needs some breathing room for this reason.
My first job out of college was developing software on the Macintosh in the late 80s/early 90s and I absolutely took for granted being able to count on the user interface to work in a sane and consistent way for 99% of all software. I fondly recall and very much miss that.

> Politics (from Greek: Πολιτικά, politiká, 'affairs of the cities') is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations between individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status.

It certainly sounds like this is a political situation to me, almost to a tautology. The fact that these decisions was made on the basis of financial gain doesn't make them any less political.
I did once run SQLite on a Windows SMB share. It works unreasonably well.

At the time I was able to push it into something like 10 simultaneous write accesses (transparently serialized by SQLite). It was an adaptation of a MS Access file that would fail at approximately 5 people opening it at the same time (independently of their actual usage). Luckily I got access to a Postgres installation shortly afterwards so I didn't have to push SQLite any further.
Rant incoming. Dub it flamey or justified, it's up to you. I am posting it because this is one of my last hopes to make amends with Emacs. I accidentally used it for ~19 years -- my first ever team taught me it and I've never bothered to learn anything much else beyond Eclipse and VS Code.

So how about a more modern take on Emacs that doesn't pull punches? Let's go.

1. Finally use a proper LISP like Common Lisp, SBCL or Racket? (Maybe even Gerbil Scheme, last I checked it it was pretty nice to look at and code in.) While you're at it, make a transpiler from Elisp to the LISP you end up using?

2. Make sure your core editor is mega ultra super fast for a change? It's frankly pitiful to have Emacs lag on a server-grade / workstation CPU with an NVMe SSD when you are trying to pick one of 2000 files in a project. I should not even NOTICE a lag on this machine! I can enumerate ~10,000 files in the Alacritty terminal before I manage to blink and press Ctrl-C, so what does that say about Emacs? (And make ahead-of-time / JIT LISP compilation the default and only option for running LISP code, please!)

3. Drop GUI efforts and just make a full-blown terminal-only version? (This might be achievable with build flags and/or fetching certain packages if I remember correctly.) I mean, the GUI efforts are historically nothing short of heroic but if Emacs is going to lag severely on a retina 5K screen (iMac Pro) then obviously somebody is hard-coding assumptions into some GUI code somewhere. Not a good software design.

4. Use async interfaces to external tools like language servers? It's baffling to have my editor completely locked for 5-10 seconds when I first open a file in a project. I am sure I'll survive without compiler warnings for that period of time.

5. Oh, and can we stop lagging the editor on every scroll because the font has more than 1000 graphemes, please? My Apple IIc computer could handle a file with 1000 records in 2-3 ms (excluding time loading it from the floppy disc, of course). I know it's not the same but come on.

---

Emacs is dated in many ways. But I am not seeing any will for a change. It seems the team is happy with gradual super-careful steps until the end of time.

I mean, that's fine, obviously it's their prerogative and all others can't do anyhing.

But this here is one last cry from me; a cry for some common sense and perspective before I swallow my low-energy levels (pre-diabetes) and lack of time (family man) and sacrifice my not-so-much sleep and me-time and finally learn NeoVim. I am sure it's going to be worth it even if it ruins my health for a few weeks because the people there are actually invested in performance, lightweight operation and ergonomics.
I bought ~5 different kindle books on logic as a prerequisite for understanding another book I originally bought on Probability Theory (E. T. Jaynes). Every logic book I bought used a different notation and none of them matched the notation used in the book I wanted to read either, which is how I ended up with 5 of them.

You'd think something as straight forward as (boolean) logic would converge on a standard notation. But I'm not familiar with the mathematics field to really criticize this. Regardless I found it to be a large barrier-to-entry which over complicated something when I was hoping to find direct analogies not needing constant 'translation'.
The previous discussion was based on a few Tweets. This is Apple's information release, and it is more specific. For me, the first thing on Apple's release is the most important: that they will begin censoring Messages content for all possible nudity, not just hashed CSAM, when the recipient is a minor. That's a step beyond the earlier discussion.

Perhaps this same approach can also soon be applied to filtering out the lies and misinformation of the enemies of the Party and to disrupt Emmanuel Goldstein's networks of treasonous domestic terrorists. After all, such misinformation is a plain harm and danger to IngSoc. That Apple is willing to eliminate nudity in private messages gives hope that the Party will soon be able to free all society from doubleplusungood differenthink.
This story is generally not discussed openly because there's a silent acknowledgement amongst people that distasteful things were done from 2016-2020 for obvious reasons.

Absolutely not. The high imprisonment rate and the number of people imprisoned without a process is a clear symptom.
damn, I was thinking of getting an iphone. Now I'm thinking of ditching the entire apple ecosystem altogether.

The idea that apple can scan files on my system without my consent is pretty sickening. I don't care what its purportedly used for. This is a slippery slope to all sorts of privacy violations.

As a new grad, onboarding during covid sucked so extremely hard. It started off with a lack of productivity, a lack of understanding, and an extreme amount of anxiety from being unable to tell what is expected of me and how to achieve that.

Going to office has been the best possible thing for me. I can see my coworkers, understand the expectations set for me, get instant help from coworkers (and often provide instant help). My anxiety is better and my health is better. I'm not distracted by the 10,000 things around my house that I either want to do or need to do.

That being said, that's only my experience. I think the research shows that remote work is just as productive, if not better. It's better for people who really need to take care of personal things during work hours. The opposition to remote work is far too forceful, especially when companies don't even intend to back up their threats (like in your case). Leadership in many companies seems against the idea for WFH for all the wrong reasons. They need to understand it's a real risk trying to force employees to come back to the office, and you can certainly lose some very important talent by doing that.

I haven't used Clerky, but I've been VERY impressed with Stripe Atlas. They handled everything from formation to issuing shares, obtaining an EIN, and even setting up a bank account.

My only minor gripes are I wish they offered more options for banking and registered agent services.

Banking: SVB is the only bank option, which has a $25/mo. fee until your balance is over a certain limit. Other options like Mercury would be good. Though, if I recall correctly, the bank setup is optional, so you can skip it and pick your own bank after formation.

Registered agent: The service they use was $100/yr (first year free). But after some research, I ended up switching to virtualpostmail.com, which gives you a virtual business address (which we needed anyway since we're fully remote) and includes free registered agent services.

Those are relatively minor issues though, I highly recommend Stripe Atlas. And it works well regardless of whether or not you use Stripe. They also include credits/discounts for various services.

I discovered Stripe Atlas through YC's startupschool.org (which is excellent). They had a 50% discount on Stripe Atlas (and other things) when you went through the program.

I used Stripe Atlas in mid-2020, so not sure what has changed since then.

This is what happens when you abandon individualism and replace it with corporate worship. When you make brands a part of your identity, you can't think about the real world damage being done.

If you're on the fence about Apple, and their lockdown of free and open computing wasn't enough, or their strong arming of the mobile commerce economy didn't do it, please let this sink in. This is where we're headed. 1984 is a plausible future.

Stop buying Apple and ask your representatives to break up the monopolies. This order came from the FBI and intelligence communities (and probably the CCP and respective organs in China).

Not all US lawmakers are beholden to this abuse of power, and they can help us put an end to it. Call them. And stop buying Apple.
