I think a lot of this is true not only for books, but also for articles.

I've started trying to be more selective with the online content I choose to spend my time on, and then conserve takeaways from the articles I read (like this one).

Of course sometimes you just want entertainment, in which case this isn't worthwile.

In the entertainment industry not having an iPhone literally hurts your career. If you can't use iMessage people look at you weird and you are literally excluded from social circles. I know someone that was in tech and went into music and even though she prefers Android she ended up caving and getting an iPhone.
Natural immunity is also incredibly effective. How many of the unvaccinated are recovered patients with natural immunity?

> Apple has released fairly detailed technical summaries of their system...

... that don't address implementation details - like what background processes get hooked into for hash generation and under what circumstances. They are also relying very heavily on secrecy, the secret local db being a good example. Why does that matter? Because their assurances against false positives depend on you assuming that the threshold counter only applies to content being flagged with a reasonably low rate of false positives and subsequently stored on their cloud, which permits additional safety assuring verification steps - and I don't see any reason why you should assume that.

> Have you read them?

I have.

> Are you claiming that Apple is lying?

Yes, but not about their intent (which I don't really care about, and is immaterial anyway) - they are lying about their ability to execute the program as they've described. Take for example their hybrid perceptual algorithm approach, which supposedly provides some increased measure of protection against adversarial attacks. We know for a fact that their primary algo is hopelessly vulnerable to hash length extension attacks, which makes the generation of false positives trivial. The second algo that supposedly addresses that is a secret, which should immediately raise red flags for anyone familiar with infosec. But I wouldn't be surprised if that safety turns out to be Microsoft's PhotoDNA - because it is already commonly used in the CP cataloging realm, and Apple would have more than one reason to not want to advertise something like that. First, PhotoDNA is a blackbox that has no independently conducted research available for public scrutiny. Second, it would mean they designed their system totally backwards - as PhotoDNA employs a high pass filter to guard against extension attacks, but at this point in the flagging process (as Apple has described) that filtering protection can't be employed to guard against extension attacks... so it provides no additional protection to speak of. Third, it was invented by a competitor.

> ...hasn't been lying about your data security for the past decade.

You are forgetting about all the cries for not ascribing malice to stupidity, and how this case involves a very different kind of cover for action. When calc.exe sends tiny encrypted fragments to telemetry.microsoft.com and it has no means of using a hidden channel to receive anything outside of itself - I'm irritated, but not alarmed. When PhotoAgent is chilling in the background - occasionally opening a RW handle to some persistent encrypted db, a db that also gets opened by another process prior to establishing a network connection to thinkofthechildren.apple.com, I become suspicious.

> If your contention is that Apple might turn evil in the future...

My contention is that they can't avoid making mistakes, and that assurances addressing concerns related to consequence of said mistakes depend entirely upon secrecy. History has shown how relying on secrecy and infallibility plays out, Apple's defenders are ignoring that.
They say about their own summaries: "And we still don’t pretend they’re as valuable as reading the book!"
Kind of an aside, but one of my issues with these games (1bit, other "retro" style games across itch.io) is they function more like art pieces (demos, I guess) than actually fun and interesting games. No shade to those who make these, kudos and have fun, but apart from a few games I can count on one hand (like undertale for example) pull off the retro style and are actually fun.

Like I've yet to play an actually fun pico8 game, apart from the minigame in Celeste, for example, although that's literally celeste...in 8-bit.
Yeah, I suppose this conversation was a waste of time. I hope, along the way, you find a more humane obsession.
I once was given a chip emulator debugger. Complete hardware level control! I discovered that it was faster to debug with semaphores and careful thinking.

Later I was the test manager of Turbo Debugger at Borland.

Today I almost never use a debugger. It is my absolute last resort. I print to the console, though.

It's a classic example of a Christensen disruption. The disruptive technologies are often pioneered or even invented by "old guard" companies, but they ironically fail to capitalize on the invention, and eventually fall by the wayside as they're surpassed by younger upstarts.

It's been a while since I read the book ("The Innovator's Dilemma—a classic!), but IIRC, Christensen disruptions are characterized by:

- worse performance, but...

- better reliability and other characteristics, thus requiring...

- new markets to be developed that can use the technology, resulting in...

- steady improvement, leading to...

- cannibalizing the old technology "from below" as the new technology's performance becomes good enough to take over the old market, resulting in...

- the old sellers fleeing "up market" to higher margin, higher demand customers, ironically creating some of their best sales years, but...

- the disruptive technology marches on, continuing to erode the old technology's performance advantage, until finally...

- the old technology disappears and the old sellers have nothing to sell, and...

- the old sellers die.

The old sellers have trouble embracing the new technology because of the complex existing relationships with middle management, suppliers, and customers. It's not blindness—it's a major cultural upheaval, and it's almost impossible to overcome.

Electric drive trains (mainly engines + batteries + chargers) appear to fit the definition of a disruptive technology perfectly. I think companies like GM and Toyota are in trouble.

I use this for many of my conference presentations, and I've used it for published papers as well as my dissertation.

I love that I can build up a diagram from specific constructs using macros. For instance, if I'm expressing a lot of linked lists, I can define a single macro for how I want to express "route the next pointer from the previous element around this element to the following element by arcing over this element", and do that consistently throughout the document.

I love that I can easily express "draw a line from 30° above the axis on this object to 150° around the axis on this object", and TikZ will connect those in a smooth way no matter where the objects are placed.

I love that I can express "create a point at the intersection of this line and this curve, and let me reference that point by name later".

It's a programming language, and a powerful one. I recommend it for any non-trivial diagramming or schematic task.

All that said, for cases where you need to express semantics and not worry as much about how the result looks, and you want the simplest possible way to express "connect a to b to c, and b to d, and d to c and back", and not worry about where the nodes are placed, I recommend graphviz. Graphviz is great for "let me dump the structure of this program's data structures out as text and turn it into a diagram". The biggest distinguishing factor between graphviz and TikZ, for me, is node placement and style: if you care how it looks and where nodes are placed, use TikZ; if you don't, use graphviz.
I really wish you phone numbers would die. They are extremely impractical if you travel a lot yet every gov service requires one.
What’s the best way to learn to use Jupyter? Should one start with notebooks or lab?
Amen. Nokia appeared to be sending the right signals by releasing a "new" 3310, but I had to return mine as I couldn't even find an easy-to-access "silent" mode - that's how barren of features they now are. Try finding one with a copy and paste feature. No ability to back up texts, extremely small memory for number of texts, some appalling user flows.. it's like it's been designed by someone who has never used a phone from before 2010 and is having to invent it all again.

My theory is this is because they know their core market now is old people and other "basic users" who will never bother looking for these features.

What happens after that? The minute they raise prices, they invite an antitrust lawsuit for the low prices. If they don’t raise prices, they continue to be a money sink.

I am not arguing against vaccination or saying you dont have a valid concern.

But I think we need to also make sense of scenarios like for example India. Has only 9.2% of fully vaccinated and if you look at the daily infection rates it dropped dramatically.

The most important factor for me has always been simplicity. If i know my app is going to hit a postgres, and postgres has a feature that perfectly fits my problem. Why would I spend a bunch of time and effort building it again. Just so my app can run on a database it's never going to run on?

For me it's about using the full power of my underlying technologies. Just like i don't restrict myself to a subset of C that would compile with any C compiler ever, i don't restrict myself to generic SQL.
Fair point. Maybe there are contrived cases that can get nasty (an interface{}-typed variable boxing a function is possible, not so with any non-empty interface ), but in practice the pathology would be ‘panic’ more than ‘here are the keys to the exploit kingdom’, if this is what you were thinking.

I was thinking more about silence where someone expected a greater degree of compile-time type safety than they really had, or relatedly e.g. the subtleties in JSON encoding / decoding where there is silent data corruption that could fall through the cracks - mostly I feel like I avoid these things by not using interface{}; I certainly did not grasp that without some experience with the language.
>This isn't an "infraction" you can police with a fine, jail, etc.

I disagree - governments legislate their markets so it is absolutely punishable if defined as such.

In addition to userland Wireguard, we (Tailscale) also increasingly use Google's userland TCP/IP stack (netstack) for platforms that lack kernel facilities we need, when drivers aren't available, or when we lack permissions (e.g. user not running as root, or running as some weirdo root in some container environment).
Don't even try to come in here with that nonsense.

Yes but it's harder, I wouldn't say "universally to all companies" (e.g. wal-mart is always going to pay wal-mart wages to devs) but many smaller tech companies recognize they have to pay top wages to attract experience hires in a lot of fields.
I would prefer "modular" phone where I can chose what apps to include. The dialer and SMS could come standard but everything else should be optional. However I want to be able to add apps I want, like Lyft or Signal. I guess somene could try to hack something like this based on standard Android.

I usually generate large tikz graphics independently using standalone tex files. Then include them in the paper as image files as usual.

I love that you pointed this out (oops, this = the tendency to unclearly define or refer to pronouns). One of the questions I ask the most in trying to clarify what someone said is "what do you mean by 'it'?"

I find this happens a lot also with personal pronouns: you, we, she/he/they, etc. A buddy got angry once and said to me "Why do you always do that?!" And I was really confused. I said, "I'm really confused, why do I always do what?" And he said "ohhh, I didn't mean you, I actually meant me and how I always forget to do things."

Double pronoun confusion
I might be missing something here. Can I not pick up a Nokia, Sony or other phone for an order of magnitude less than this price? It might even get some kudos.

Or, as stated in the article, an alarm clock for a similar order of magnitude less.

This might belay a greater stagnation, and not a bad one. The laptop I'm typing this comment on, a ThinkPad manufactured in 2012, works just fine. It has an upgrade to a SSD and a new battery. It cost around $100 three years ago.

The watch on my arm, if choosing to put it on, was manufactured in the 1990s. It just needs a new battery every 3-4 years.

I have no idea how old my alarm clock is. It's mainly unused because body clock works well enough. I do not need a step counter as when going for a morning stroll or jog I know roughly how far I'm going and how many steps that equates to. Nor do I need a meal planner app because the amount of calories in various food stuffs fortunately stays quite constant.

While mobile payments have been all the rage where I live for some time, I get by well enough with a technology that doesn't aggregate personal information for 3rd parties called cash, with two high-tech devices in my wallet being a bank card and a public transport card. When taking the bus or subway I do crazy things like bring a book with me; there's a local bar/cafe/restaurant where people bring books they're done with and pick up others new.

> Such a design philosophy may be good for consumers, but not for financial projections. Encouraging customers to upgrade helps smartphone makers keep cash flow consistent, whereas minimalist phones comparatively are selling few units to begin with, despite some models now being in the market for more than five years, said Ken Hyers, director of emerging technology devices at Strategy Analytics Inc.

That just means I have more money for things other than keeping up with the Jones'. Like good food, or taking part in activities or hobbies. And more time. Without Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok or whatever pushing notifications and 'important' updates, notifications that bring more baggage than utility, the world becomes a pull world. If it's urgent, call me or at least text. If needing more detail send an email, not an attachment on WhatsApp in the hope I actually care to check that, or Signal, or Telegram, or WeChat, or Messenger, or Discord, or iMessage, or whatever.

Not a rant. If someone likes to blow $3000 on a laptop, or $1000 on a new phone per year, or $349 on a dumb phone, great, anyone's choice. It's nice the choice not to is also there.

This still relies upon some degree of compliance by Apple in order to acquire the stream of vouchers. Or alternatively a working security breach of Apple's systems. Either way this represents an additional, non-trivial barrier to overcome.

It would be interesting to know what the "chaff" rate is and whether any intelligence agency could stomach that amount of surveillance, particularly since it's by no means certain that any of them are real. In fact it seems to me that it's very unlikely indeed, especially if the material is in any way radioactive. After all, finding a match this way requires quite a few assumptions:

1. The target owns an iPhone;

2. The target has enabled iCloud Photo Library;

3. The target has a photo library small enough, or is paying for sufficient iCloud storage space, that the flagged images are included in the (sub)set stored in the cloud;

4. The target has imported the flagged images into their photo library rather than to iCloud Drive or any third party app like SpiderOak, Mega or Tresorit.

That prepared statement caching is a feature of a particular DBAPI driver rather than SQLAlchemy itself. I take your point though, and I'd say that Facata is designed to be an alternative to DBAPI 2 rather than an alternative to SQLAlchemy.

On the performance, I'm basing this on the fact that SQLAlchemy does a lot more than Facata. You're right though, actual measurements would be interesting.

Note also that the Reuters article specifically mentions that the source of their information about the breach is this exact tweet, and that they cannot independently verify.

The overall Twitter feed of the Fox News reporter in question https://twitter.com/JacquiHeinrich , while generally sticking to facts unlike some of her Fox News colleagues, nonetheless has a preponderance of tweets critical of the current administration. One should keep this in mind when deciding whether the reporter would have been incentivized to do thorough verification before choosing to share the word of an anonymous source that would paint said administration in a poor light.
