There's the proceeding context that you ignored in order to claim the parent has some emotionally blinding phobia, and that'd be a super uncharitable interpretation even if that context wasn't included btw.

I'm sure that bringing your pet everywhere is nice but when your non-service animal triggers physical issues for others, why would you expect a company to prioritize your preference of convenience and slight increase in comfort over the preference of others to avoid unnecessary physical ills? It seems silly to me that there would even be a debate.
Didn't know Brave supported IPFS. Perhaps that will work, then.
I learned C++ templates during high school, back when C++ARM book was the official standard.
We overuse identity as an important thing in computing. AWS does have problems with IAM of course, but we need to accept that adding human identities everywhere in what is largely a system of computers and applications talking to each other is a security mistake, we need the fine grained delegation of access control, and capabilities. Just because I control some aspect of a program does not imbue it with any sense of my identity. Roles, capabilities, all these are more important than identities.

They should be able to talk to you as a person for marketing or conferences yeah, thats a different thing.

Pine64 should just try to get money from the capital markets and charge for the service. It's so stupid I have a new iPhone 12 Pro Max and also a PinePhone but I just decided to buy the former because I just don't have the capability to use the PinePhone realistically with all the services I pay for and use day to day. I don't have the time to devote my time to an ecosystem either, which... I'm sorry but it's true.

Apple was objectively better than Google until they decided to start spying on my pics with an algo that has a terrible false positive rate, all the while after basically forcing you via war of attrition to comply with the constant ++ beyond annoying popups compelling you to use iCloud.

Literally just create an alternative. The other potential competitor who made Essential (Andy Rubin iirc?) literally just gave up after 3 quarters - I guess he would know how to pull out of a project after getting ingested by Google twice in a row.

The ecosystem is a joke. I hope the FTC destroys Apple over the App Store literally just to spite them for this dark move but I'm not optimistic.
Oh god, I remember those Gillard-era Netbooks. We used them once (and only once) in a Year 11 English class.

They were so poorly configured that when the whole classroom tried to use them at once they'd take half an hour (no exaggeration) to log onto the network. Was a very interesting lesson in how to deploy IT infrastructure badly and not a lot else...
Back when I was a young software engineer, I worked for a large consulting company which frequently outsourced people to my country's government(s). As a consequence, I gained some insights into government software projects. And it's as bad as you'd expect it to be, or worse.

$gov pays 600eur/day for software developers (which they could hire for less than a third of the price). The pimps renting out these developers have zero incentive to ensure quality in any way. The longer a project takes, the bigger their cut. The developers don't care, they're being grossly underpaid by their pimps, so they ride it out until something better comes along. $gov has zero IT competence, and doesn't realize (or doesn't care) it's being ripped off. Government IT project failures are commonplace, with hundreds of thousands wasted per project, sometimes even millions. $gov can't hire software engineers directly, because governments have ridiculous rules about employment and wages and degree requirements. They can't pay developers as much as they could make elsewhere.

I think it would be a great idea for any government (local, regional, national) to start insourcing their own software developers. Starting small. There would be great value to having a few dedicated teams, in the true sense of the word, instead of a ragtag bunch of consultants. This will require changes to government employment laws. But in my book, it would be worth it.

Long story short: governments can't even get their own software in order. I don't see them promoting "home grown" software any time soon.
Just to be clear, I agree with your point that there is a difference in vaccinated vs. unvaccinated population (e.g. average age).

But when you say "targeted" at the most vulnerable, I'm not sure how true that is. There's a pretty big push to get everyone vaccinated, including populations that have been reluctant to get vaccinated until now.
> ...“Transmission 109 of 13 May 1971. It has two parts, first part with TM, second part without TM. Length: 40' [probably minutes]”.

Looking at the handwriting for reel 1, it appears that the transmission session number is rather 709, not 109.

Note, that the handwriting for the second reel shows the session 509 in March of the same year. The "first" reel dates the session in May.

P.S. Hard to judge about origins of the tapes, but by the looks, the reels seem more like some personal use dubs, not much an "official" storage. No reg numbers, names, very non-official.

Additionally, the edge remarks on the second reel mention that some parts were dubbed on "someone-else's" recorder. This is likely noted in case the head alignment needs adjustment for better read.
It's crazy how advanced some UK technology was back then. Designing afterburners in 1943. And then canceling just before completion of the aircraft.

The same happens in many cases. What's a successful breakthrough is usually not only technological. UK was extremely indebted after the second world war, mostly to USA. https://www.exchangerates.org.uk/articles/1325/the-200-year-...

Of course there was the wider sad story of management problems in UK industry and the long decline after the war.
It seems as if the author is convinced that in the German system children are assigned to different high schools based on their skills/intelligence/talent/whatever. But the fact is that you will hardly find an upper class kid in a hauptschule and similarly poor immigrant kids are underrepresented in gymnasiums (and even middle class kids with foreign parents have been historically underrepresented).

Maybe the point should be guaranteeing that all jobs pay enough to live a decent life. Germany is much better than the UK on this, which is probably the reason why the education rat race is less of a problem there.
I very much enjoy when one of my colleagues gets a win and I’ll be their biggest cheerleader. Hey check out what Dave did man this is super cool. Hey did you see what Sally did it’s awesome we’re gonna do a roadshow on this one.

I've heard all the arguments. I've had this conversation 10 times now, I already know what all the replies will say. I'll save you all the time, you can downvote me here.

Here's how the conversation goes:

Android User: "With Android I could just turn off Google Cloud"

iOS User: "Apple also only scans as part of iCloud upload process also. So just disable iCloud Photos"

Android User: "But that's a slippery slope! They COULD scan all content of the phone with no effort!"

iOS User: "But they're not currently, and don't plan to. Doing it locally makes it some-what auditable. Also their system as designed would only work for data uploaded to iCloud."

Android User: "So you TRUST Apple to just not add that capability later!? What if a government forces them to?"

iOS User: "So you trust Google not to aswell? If any Government forces Apple to add this on-device, they would certainly require the same of Android"

Android User: "But Apple COULD add it more easily, because this is clearly a backdoor!"

iOS User: "I don't think that word means what you think it means"

The article describes ApplyBoard in detail and explains exactly why it's regarded by some as shadowy:

> According to critics, aggregate recruiters allow institutions to avoid any accountability for the actions of the agents representing them. “It eliminates the link between the colleges themselves and the agents,” says agent Earl Blaney. “The schools are now not even responsible or connected to these agents, but they’re the ones selling the school.” It’s a $21 billion dollar industry, he says, with hardly any rules.

> ApplyBoard says it vets all its recruiters, rejecting 46 percent of applicants. Approved agents are then trained through online webinars and an interactive course. But institutions seem to understand the potential for abuse that comes with working through aggregators. In the past, Langara refused to allow its agents to work with subagents. “The reason for that is because then we lose the control of who these people are, how they’re representing the institution,” says Van Dam. Last year, despite those qualms, Langara signed an agreement to work with ApplyBoard in what Van Dam describes as a trial period. In theory, there’s nothing stopping an agent that Van Dam rejected yesterday from signing up with ApplyBoard and sending kids to the college soon afterward.

There are techniques that help parsers parse a far larger class of grammars than their underlying model permits. Some of these are:

- turning it into a state machine (required to deal with nested comments and C++ template syntax)

- building the symbol table while parsing and querying for disambiguation

- treating expressions as a stream of atoms and using a specialised precedence parser (probably required to deal with operator overloading)

Parser generators usually employ these as well.

I don't believe I called anyone names or sneered at the community in this thread and I think your description of me is uncharitable. The vast majority of my comments here have been positive, and I take far more abuse from this community than I give.

If you're talking about my comment in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28260455, that's humorous criticism of the community in a thread about criticism of the community, and every part of it is accurate. If you want tedious "tics" to call out, there's a list.

Being able to see the faults in a community and laugh at them is healthy. Far more so than the vituperative, contrarian snark this community expends on everything outside. And I'm not placing myself in a position above anyone here in doing so - I'm a part of this community so criticizing it is criticizing myself.

That said, I admit I got a bit overheated attacking what I thought was a bad comment here, let myself get too emotionally involved and made a bad situation worse, so mea culpa. Sometimes this place just makes me angry, and I resort to snark as a means of catharsis when really I should probably just step away for a while.
Yes exactly. And also dumb down public schools by not teaching advanced classes and getting rid of magnet schools like the Democrats are doing in multiple states. While of course still teaching those classes at the private schools that upper middle class and above can afford. Gotta keep those smart poor people in their place.

> would call that “same difference”.

As much as they might want, Google cant scan local phone files with server side code...

Apple on the other hand just has to break a small pinky promise, code and infra is already there.

See the difference?

One is relying on a pinky promise, one is knowing they cant if you dont upload.

There are security researchers you know? the shitstorm that would appear on funny business will rival the one you see now.
> Someone is providing those "alternative theories".

I'm not sure they are. I mean, sure, for some things, there's likely someone somewhere making it up, but others just come to live by themselves.

A lot of them remind me of the preppers. They also have plenty of scenarios and end up in similar places on practical questions. And companies around that also were created or took up some of the content to market to them. This might be the same here: websites trying to attract these people for other reasons instead of those websites being the source of the ideas.

Since a lot of it is happening online, I guess it should theoretically be/have been visible, do you know of any reports that trace it back to those who created the different conspiracy theories?

Explicit timezone is information that cannot be resurrected once lost. “Select all employees around the world who left after 18:00 too often to advise them to care more of their health”. Of course in practice most employers could not care less, so most time libraries feel free to lose it, and developers are aware of that.
> counting the steps in the debugger is tedious.

that's a debugger UX problem - the debugger should have a way of setting conditional breakpoints, and allow you to evaluate expressions (and optionally print out expressions).

The only time i've found the debugger lacking is when you have to debug concurrent or async code, and the act of debugging changes the execution to either hide or present a different bug.
Nice; do you by chance combine this with latexmk? If so, how do you add the extra compilation step in latexmk?

Is this the case for you? Mine are totally different. How did they get tied together?
I have tried a few times to move back to feature phones, but it has gotten exceedingly difficult nowadays. What I currently think is missing is a containerization/virtualization solution where you run something like lineageOS as a host, and then apps are run in their own virtualized containers. Ideally host can feed containers either actual data from the hardware (location etc) or some spoofed profile/gps/sensor data, say, profile 1 for some apps: single mom living in small midwest city, profile 2 for some other apps: megarich guy globetrotting the worlds famous places etc. All while the actual phone is sitting on your table.
There was one other drawback:
Some kernel features hadn't been implemented and you e.g. couldn't run Docker containers, which now works with WSL2.

But that might have been fixed over time; in general, I find it a bit sad that the 'elegant' solution (WSL) was scrapped in favor of the 'throw containers at it' solution, but it works.

Do I understand correctly that turning off iCloud Photos, the CSAM scanning will not be conducted?
Seems like there is rather a lot of misunderstanding about what Apple are doing here, which is a bit disappointing. They're running an algorithm to detect known child pornography pictures from a database (CSAM). It's run on your phone and the hashes of images are compared.

Separately, if you are a child, and I presume you are not if you are reading this, photos sent in messages are scanned to catch if you are sending something sexually explicit. You can opt not to send, but if you do your parents are informed. So this is relevant if you are a child or if you have a child with an iPhone. Otherwise, it is not relevant to you.

Please help me understand what is so outrageous about these systems that would make you throw away your Apple products and move to something (what?) else.
I find that using the example of `rm` to discuss whether to pick `find -exec` or `find | xargs` rather strange, given the existence of `find -delete`. Maybe pick a different example operation to automate.
You could do a find-and-replace on this article replacing "Canada" with "Australia" and it would all still hold.

Universities have become all about moneymaking and will happily accept students who lack the prerequisite knowledge for a course, setting them up for failure when they inevitably struggle with the material. Lecturers get pressured to dumb down course material and pass students who haven't demonstrated adequate abilities in their coursework.

I used to teach computer science back in Australia and saw a lot of this first hand. Part of the reason I left was because I didn't feel comfortable being part of this dirty system.

As a kid I remember that my imagination was way more strong and vivid. When pretend playing e.g. being a pilot of a plane with my cousin , it felt good as if we were doing it in real. Of course we didn't know what the real thing was like. But it did evoke strong visual fantasy feelings.

I got the same feelings reading books with lots of colorful cartoons and things. I use to have a book with characters doing something with icecream so tall it's coming from helicopter or something. They all used to feel SOLID and REAL. Then I grew up and found that book again after many years. I couldn't see those characters and things as real objects anymore.

I haven't read this pdf but I believe other kids do it for the same. Imagination is strong and they could do and be anything pretending.
Where I ran into an error was when I developed a new technique by running Python from a Jupyter notebook, and then moved everything over to Golang once I'd got the basics of the algorithm down. Python didn't care that it got occasionally got back a 'float' rather than an 'int'; Golang did. (So I had to make a custom type unmarshaller that could handle both incoming types.)

EDIT: The fact that Golang is type-checked should make most of the issues here moot (since the only way to get the wrong type would be to have a malformed INSERT query, and Golang would choke the next time one of those rows showed up in a query); but it would mean I wouldn't have to be quite so paranoid when frobbing about manually with the sqlite3 command-line tool, for instance.

I have a 4 node Raspberry Pi 4 k3s cluster that I use to run some scripts, a 4 node Raspberry Pi Zero W Cluster that I'm planning on trying barebones Hadoop on, a Pi Zero W running PiHole, and a whole bunch of Arduino and STM32 devices I use to build my keyboards. I also have samba running on one of the Raspberry Pis, with an 8 TB hard drive connected to it, for my movies and media.
Basically what I came here to say. "Education" gets far too much benefit of the doubt. Most of it is worthless, or even harmful, teaching unhelpful and dependant patterns. Very little of the content aside from the basics is validated to be worth its ROI.
