Yes, because a VPN is a service and you can only meaningfully audit software itself. Any service audit is meaningless one second later as the operator of the service can change it to serve their purposes.

People all too frequently confuse software and services. They aren't the same. This is a software audit, and the thing that needs trust is the service.

It does not because we fundamentally have enough fake social security numbers based identify theft to still create a two class system except this time there's zero guarantee that the person who should get the ID will have it and not his or hers "counterpart"

My wife got IRS notification that she already filed taxes a few years ago when she attempted to file hers. It was because someone has been using her identity. That person did not get arrested. Rather there are now two people running around the country with her SSN - her and not her. Oh and they are still filing taxes as her. Year after year. She just needs to use a special code now to separate her return from an imposer return

I was positively obsessed with (and still hold dear) Gibson's early works, especially the short stories, but the Idoru trilogy somehow bored me. Not sure whether his storytelling changed or my tastes did.

I love how (as Gibson himself has remarked) Neuromancer has become nearly impossible to read straightforwardly by younger readers because he failed to predict the ubiquity of cell phones and has the characters depend on landlines and pay phones for communication - to someone who's grown up with omnipresent cell phones their absence is baffling and seems like an intentional plot point building up to some twist that never comes.

You know how in 1776 the US declared independence from the UK? Well ARM China has recently declared independence from ARM. The board fired the CEO more than a year ago, but the CEO said no thanks, hired security to keep ARM out, and has been continuing to run the company with the ostensible support of its employees and the state.

Like, what??

I guess legality and ownership and IP and rights are all just social fictions in our heads, and if enough people stop believing, they stop being real. It's like the reverse of The Secret.

For those who think IP rights should be abolished, this is what such a world might look like. Allen Wu and China have stolen ARM's IP.

Edit: I spoke to a journalist who spoke to ARM and was told that some of Devin Patel's reporting was incorrect. ARM China has not stolen IP.
I think a lot of that can be chalked up to the fact that the minds behind CMake are pretty consistently top-notch--most of the Kitware folks have at least one post-grad CS degree and have not insignificant levels of experience approaching design problems from a more abstract/academic POV than your average dev team. I think over the years it's kept them from making the truly awful implementation blunders that send projects scrambling for another alternative just to 'never have to do THAT again.' Hence, CMake has had the time to seep into the way projects organize themselves in ways the "flavor of the month" build systems (qmake, scons, et al.) couldn't.

What I'd like to know is where this supposedly excellent documentation for Meson is that the author refers to. The times that I've needed to use Meson have been uniformly unpleasant precisely because I found the official docs to have a ton of holes and also assumed an unrealistic level of familiarity with their underlying logic. Give me the CMake docs anyday; at least I can be relatively sure the answer's in there instead of hiding in a GitHub issue regarding some design flaw that'll be solved in the next release.
The touch bar is very likely to be removed in the new models (expected in October).

From an evolution perspective, it may improve survival chances to form antibodies with partial autoimmune match and beat the infection, rather than form less antibodies period. Also because the infection is an immediate death threat, while autoimmune disorders (like Celiac's) can be a major inconvenience that doesn't stop reproduction.
That’s absurd.

Yes, I still test my code.

But when I write it, I do it with the lessons I’ve learned over decades, and it’s usually close to working before the first test comes into the picture.

You don't expect it. But if they were to publicize the result of the inspection, promote it and after the said inspection, start manufacturing plutonium safes, you probably would not be happy as a buyer.

(I know plutonium is not a good choice for the comparison as in the VPN case, we don't know if what will replace the script will be secure or not whereas plutonium is known to be unsafe, but the idea remains that changing something critical to safety after the audit is not nice to hear at all.)
If the organism is pressured, the non-coding DNA slowly fades. There are some parasitic organisms (eg Nasuia deltocephalinicola) that have highly compacted DNA: no introns, no regulatory regions, no transposable elements and even overlapping genes.

I disagree. Most open access journals offer lower, and sometimes free pricing, for researchers from developing countries. For example PloS One (one of the main open access journals) offer free publishing to ~100 countries <https://plos.org/publish/fees/group-1-countries/>)

This does not affect the open access business model: Only a small fraction of papers is submitted by researchers in developing countries.

I'm not trying to deny that the vaccine has a positive effect, but this data as presented (aggregated across the entire year) is extremely misleading. Here's why:

1) The infection/hospitalization/death rates were highest last winter, and relatively few people were vaccinated during the peak of the infection

2) A large proportion of the people in the Unvaccinated column here were infected long before we reached the current vaccination rate.

3) Therefore, suggesting that the numbers in this table represent the outcome of vaccination is simply not correct. This data is aggregated across the entire vaccination campaign and is completely confounded by the timing of waves vs that of vaccination rates.

If the goal is to build trust and present data transparently and fairly, why not show the same data with aggregation starting in July or starting AFTER reaching 40% vaccination rate?
I suspect high income >200k/yr households are also highly correlated to high CoL locations. If you live in an SF 1 bedroom that costs 1.5 million dollars the marginal cost of an additional child is likely to be over a million dollars in the first 10 years of life. A family with exactly 200k/yr is at the entry point for financially achieving what would have traditionally been viewed as a middle class financial situation in the US e.g. owning a home, funding a retirement, taking regular vacations, paying for children's college etc. Even 1 child in a high CoL location can jeopardize these goals.

A relevant number would be the difference between income and the marginal cost per child.
It's similar but in a format that is more conducive to rendering in the native frameworks on iOS and Android: SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose. HTML and CSS doesn't map very well to these native frameworks.

This is not what the author means by "Space out your study sessions".

Also, SRS is no panacea, e.g. you can use it to learn a mathematical formula, but not to learn how to apply it. For this, you need actual practice.

Everywhere I've worked, it's an order of magnitude easier to get a L+1 job at another company than it is to get promoted to L+1. Until and unless that's fixed, expect tenure to remain low. The fact that no company fixes this tells me this is employers' desired end state.
This is a brand marketing ad for GitHub.

It's like those "there's no place like 127.0.0.1" shirts, which work despite the fact that we don't pronounce the localhost address as "home". It's a way of saying "hey, look, I'm just like you!" without being overt about it.

Microsoft is a clever company, and they recognize that they have to do a lot to offset their corporate stink that they brought to the GitHub and npm brands.

So this misses a few aspects of why the method works:

- You can't actually get a speedup from the proposed approach. You'd need a lookup table of size b^2 to multiply two b-bit numbers, which will be much slower than just doing the multiplication.

- Most of what we do is perform fewer operations. We're actually slower per op than multiply-adds because those are supported better in hardware. We just compress the matrices by so much that it's worth it. Relatedly, for sufficiently few codebooks, we're actually sublinear in the input size--i.e., we don't even read it all.

- We have some lightweight machine learning in there to make the sublinearity and other approximations not suck. Getting the ML fast enough to beat a BLAS GEMM is far from trivial.
>Which is completely not relevant to what I tried to make clear.

It is. You wrote:

>>There is no reason for Meson to exist: it should not exist.

I responded that there is. Namely that it's better.

>and these days they compare themselves to CMake because Meson is not winning

Meson is winning just fine, given that every new C project I find these days seems to be using it. None of these projects are gnome-specific either, btw. This strawman of meson developers / users feeling insecure is entirely of your construction (and ironic).

>If CMake was bad, CMake could, and has been, improved.

Nothing stops its developers from improving it now. But my biggest problem with cmake is not the missing features (there aren't any) but the absolute PITA macro-hell syntax, and I doubt there's anything they can improve in that regard.

This is the first time I'm hearing about the Framework laptop and… damn, it looks enticing.

Unfortunately, 13" is definitely too small for me (in terms of ergonomics). Are you planning on releasing models with a larger (and matte) screen in the future?

Also, could the keyboard "module" in theory be fully customized by the community (so as to support ergonomic layouts similar to ErgoDox, include a trackpoint etc.)?

Finally, why only 4 expansion slots? AFAIU there's no Thunderbolt card(?) yet, so I need every USB slot I can get my hands on and 2 (4 - 1 HDMI or DP slot - 1 PowerDelivery slot) would definitely not be enough!

I'm not pro- or anti-vaccine, I don't really care.

The only somewhat lasting side-effect that I've noticed after my second shot: I have a chronic sinusitis that is pretty treatment resistant (cortisone spray helps somewhat; a second, larger operation is an option), and it got significantly better the day after I got pfizer/biontech (first was AstraZeneca) and has stayed at a very manageable level since.

I have no clue whether there's a causal relationship, but if there is, I'm fine with getting booster shots.
