You can certainly have a decent idea of what information is there by just looking at the bytes and reverse engineer the protocol. This is how unix pipelines are composed as a matter of fact.

Now, of course it would it be better if each program formally described the schema of its output and the system provided tooling to act on this information, but being able to string together uncooperative programs via their common denominator (i.e stream of bytes), is powerful and the unix way.
It was the mandatory policy in Bavaria from about January to this week. At this point, I’m so used to the FFP2 mask I found that fits best that I’m still wearing those instead of the surgical masks we can (for) now wear instead - hooking behind the head is key.
I don't understand the technical reasons behind it, but for whatever reason doing something like resizing a Window for any non-trivial GUI seems to cause the repaints to drop down to 15-20Hz in Qt and spike the CPU usage massively. The same issue doesn't occur with Win32 or Cocoa.

To people recommending trades, there's nothing wrong with trades, but you can get more out of college than only a job. You can actually learn things that you wouldn't have learned otherwise. The environment also naturally stimulates and values learning, gathering knowledge and understanding. You can learn how to become a better person and think more critically.

Seeing how many misinformation is going around and the people swallowing it, this seems more important than ever before.

The other major thing missing in relation to that is input method support.

The problem with those type of APIs and accessibility is that implementing screen reader support basically means making it retained mode in some capacity, because accessibility APIs expect you to export a tree of objects and push state updates.
>working for a wage without significant stock options while someone makes millions sitting around doing nothing off of their effort

This seems to characterise almost every single place I have worked for or interviewed at in different ways. I have interviewed at smaller businesses where the entire "management" team doesn't do anything, doesn't come into the office, and is just various family members of the original founder.

Then there are the larger businesses that have a network of people who all know each other and connected and occupy positions with "manager" in them, whose day consists of just telling people to do things that the person they are telling could figure out and do without their existence and better.
last time I checked the lack of obligation is not the same as a lack of option. owning equity in a company is THE option and there IS an expectation that any shareholder that is not disenfranchised by helpful intermediaries will be exercising it.

everything the company does is under the control of shareholders. they have they option to fire the management and rewrite practically the entire rulebook of what the company does.

now it should be pretty clear that a lot of shareholders (across the size spectrum) would not necessarily disagree with management choices that optimize short term financial returns

but to assume that every shareholder has this moral stance is simply a falsehood and that is increasingly becoming clear.
No, they were using face shields as well as mask.
Yeah. This whole mess pushed me to moving everything I had (or could remember, anyway) to Tachiyomi¹, so I can hop between hosting websites freely without losing progress or access to old chapters (as long as I don't run out of local storage).

And while it works fine for reading, it kills any interaction with the hosting sites. No chance for monetization, socialization or anything else that can help sites survive long-term.

> assumptions which he brilliantly lays bare and then demolishes. He also questions the scientific significance of the research, even if it is true - a phrase he uses a lot.

Absolutely true. Even if it's true, the society should not give ammunition to closet racists with their attempts to stealthily legitimise racism.

Equally so, in the current immigration debacle, we need to call things their own names. What these people mean, but don't say out loud for the fear of instant character assassination by being called out for racism is that they don't want brown people in their countries.

New Yorker bought into this, unfortunately. The author does not want to "help" racial minorities, she wants to label them dumb, an needing compassion, which in reality will lead to even more strong ostracism, and stigmatisation. Nobody have to be "scientifically established to be dumb, and biologically inferior." That's right out of 3rd reich's playbook.
> SSL which eats from the performance budget.

That was a short-lived thing, and has now become a myth perpetuated by companies like Citrix and F5 that sell "SSL offload" appliances for $$$.

Have you benchmarked the overhead of TLS?

In my experience, a single CPU core can easily put out multiple gigabytes of AES-256 (tens of gigabits). This benchmark shows 3 GB/s (24 Gbps) for recent AMD CPUs, and nearly 40 Gbps per core for an Intel CPU: https://calomel.org/aesni_ssl_performance.html

A multi-core server is very unlikely to have more than a 1-5% overheard due to TLS. Even connection set up is a minor overhead with elliptic curve certificates.

This is thanks to the AES offload instructions, which are present in all server CPUs made any time in the last 5-7 years or so. As long as the modern Galois Counter Mode (GCM) is used with AES, performance should be great.

Meanwhile, Citrix ADC v13 with a hardware "SSL offload card" actually slows down connections! I had a very hard time getting more than 600 Mbps through one. It seems to be the way the ASIC offload chip is architected: it seems to use a large number of slow cores, a bit like a GPU. This means that any one TLS stream will have its bandwidth capped!

I hate when stack overflow is held up as an example of how we can run any system on “a few servers” - stacknoverflow has like 3 features and has an engineering focus on the single goal of performance and keeping on running on the small subset of servers.

Yes, I do. But I happened to be in a rather lonely place (geographically) right when the pandemic hit. So outside of Zoom and telephone calls with my family and friends every other night, I wouldn't really have talked to anyone, had it not been for work.
Very good tl;dr apart for a detail: it's not about the complexity of a single simulation, it's about the ratio of complexity of two simulations. In this way we can factor out our ignorance of the details (are we a brain-in-a-vat? Is the simulation run on an abacus? Is it written in Phyton?) and clearly establish which simulation is more complex.

Now, since by a counting argument we are more likely to be in a simple simulation, by looking at "optional" complexity around us we can establish if we are in a simulation. Reaching 5 sigma of confidence should be enough, so if we find out that the universe could have been 10 million times easier than what we experience, then we can be pretty confident that we are not sims (I assumed a linear scaling of the simplicity assumption here).

Now the tricky question is, which complexity is "optional"? I would argue open space which we would probe if we do interstellar travel, but maybe there are better ways to find optional complexity.
the oft touted reason for high debt load being bad is that the gov't would be unable to pay it.

So how can it be that on the one hand, it "doesn't matter", but on the other hand, the debt is touted as being unable to be serviced?

The gov't owing it to a department is the same obligation as owing it to a foreign entity (or a domestic, private entity for that matter).
> I’m absolutely convinced that not all people can learn algebra or calculus. To me it is obvious this is so since the mentally disabled can’t.

Not all people can read, it's obvious since the mentally disabled can't. Yet with proper education, all non-disabled people can be taught reading.

But that doesn't mean everyone can read, if you're illiterate by your 20s, you're gonna have a hard time catching up. Same for mathematics: most people reaching even high school are too mathematically illiterate to catch up[1]. Is genetics a factor: definitely, but it's among many others.

The reason why it's a partisan issue is the following: if I say genetics is a decisive factor, then I can say «it's natural, there's nothing we can do so we don't need to spend all that government money trying to help those people». The left-sided point of view goes as «There's nothing we can do about genetics, but we can change everything else. Then we need to find what are all the other factors, because those are the actionable ones». The conservative focus on genetics is mainly a justification for doing nothing.

> There’s a level of “intelligence” that’s necessary to learn a given topic. Not everyone can learn all topics.

“intelligence” is conveniently pretty ill-defined, but I don't think I'm more intelligent than my doctor friends, yet they struggled a lot to grasp even the most basic concepts of algebra when I tried to help them during our studies. “Not everyone can learn all topic” but I have yet to find evidences that your ability to learn a random topic you're not interested into is correlated with the common acceptance of the word “intelligence”.

[1]: that doesn't mean it's impossible, just likely well beyond the amount of effort they can (or want to) afford.
Nope, when I'm on the go, I certainly have a way better communication using phone calls than whatever VOIP du jour.

Phone numbers, like emails, are very robust and reliable, interoperable, not centralized to one entity, and the quality of service vs cost ratio is excellent.

Not to mention text messages:

- they work no matter if the person is using whatsapp, telegram, signal or the new hype stuff

- no GAFAM is collecting my text history to sell me ads

- they require no internet connection

There are 3 things that we must absolutely cherish and preserve in this race for tech: cash, emails and phone numbers.

They are a beacon of stability in this sea of ever moving innovation greed.

Pension funds own a lot of it but the Fed has more on their balance sheet, about a third of all US debt. But this is the same situation with most central banks - ECB, BoE - they have roughly a third of their respective national debts on their BS.

It has been going up since the global financial crisis and accelerated during COVID. Central banks keep saying they’re going to taper but it will be very, very slow tapering in order to not hurt the economy.

In essence, currency is being debased when central banks buy debt to protect the financial system from sudden shocks, and keep buying it because the economy remains fragile and gets hooked on the central bank asset purchases.

Due to artificially low interest rates (because of said debt purchases) asset bubbles are formed elsewhere in the economy, and the ones who gain disproportionately the most from this are people who own invested assets, while those who don’t are no longer able to afford financialised assets like housing, or goods affected by inflation.

Anecdotal but I've noticed that for a lot of women, achieving the degree seems to be the end goal and status symbol, while for men the degree is just a path to better financial outcomes. If the calculation for the latter has changed to where degree is no longer worth it compared to alternatives, that could explain it.
Thanks, that's a rare example of something which is (a) simple enough to understand for a Prolog-newbie like me, and (b) more practical than ubiquitous family-tree example.

My feeling with math is that moving on too soon is disastrous. If you move past a subject without having grasped it, you don't have a good base for the next subject. This compounds, and the explanations stop making sense.

At that point people are trying to help you but saying things to you as if you are stupid, but you still don't understand. That really sucks, so people get afraid of math. Avoiding it, and nodding when asked "do you understand" when really they do not.
This is hard to fix because you need to go back to the point they did not understand, but the fear and pain makes even teaching that a lot harder to fix as well.

My feeling is that most people should be able to understand algebra. However, I think that requires a very deliberate and personalized approach for some people. Certainly with collective classes, if you go at the speed of the slowest student there will be slow progress and a lot of people who are bored and mentally check-out.

If any approach is going to work for people who have real difficulties, it needs to be small-scale personal teaching, and it needs to come with trust. Someone needs to feel like they can keep saying "no I do not understand" without disapproval, disappointment, or frustration from the tutor.
I assure you that I know enough to at least hold an intelligent conversation on mobile security. On iOS there is no "system level messaging component". (i)Messages are stored in a SQLite database that is protected via entitlements and sandboxing; the Messages app is given the ability to access it legitimately. Attackers can either exploit the Messages itself and (via code execution in that process) grab a user's messages, or they can exploit something else (such as the web content process) and then escalate privileges from there to bypass the sandbox.

If the original claim was merely that a certain percentage of the population are not going to learn algebra - it would be uncontroversial and i would agree with it. After all, we all know that some people fail classes.

If the claim was merely that math comes easier to some than others - again it would be an uncontroversial claim and i would agree with it.

However, my reading of the original comment was that a good portion of the population literally are physically incapable under any circumstance, including the silly hypothetical circumstances i laid out, to learn algebra. I think that is false. It sounds like you do too. So i guess we're in agreement.
I'm pretty sure the author of that article is just confused. The synchronous reluctance motors in the Model 3 run on AC just like an induction motor, but can be thought of as a DC motor if you consider the whole inverter/motor assembly, just like an induction motor.

Yeah, but the whole debate is about how much is genetics responsible for intelligence vs the environment. There was a claim that genetics is responsible for ~70-80% of variance. Pick any intellectual ability and lack of environment can cause for an individual to not be able to achieve that, so how can genetics be responsible for that much variance?

The question is where and how does the 70-80% come? How is it meaningful and how is it measured?
> I’ve taught mathematics at community colleges for over 20 years and I’m absolutely convinced that not all people can learn algebra or calculus.

This is the "As a mom"-argument applied to iq. When it comes to child-rearing mothers will not infrequently claim to know what works best in general because they have had children of their own. I mean an equally valid interpretation of your anecdata is that not all people can learn how to teach mathematics at community colleges.

I'll go one further and say that very few people in the entire human population would be competitive with Usain Bolt in the 100 meter when he was setting records, no matter what kind of training they had. There would be a few more beyond the world class sprinters Bolt was demolishing. Similarly, there would be very few people who could beat Nadal in 5 sets on a clay surface. Djokovic happens to be one of those few. But, those are extreme outliers.

Still though, we could ask how many people in the entire human population could run under a 4 minute mile with any amount of training, time and resources? Obviously more than have done it, but how many? Certainly not remotely close to everyone.

I usually try and avoid the discussion online, as it is polarising.

One area I do think is interesting, is the issue of uncollected child maintenance payments (at least in the UK). [1] This has not had a campaign behind it, in the same way as the "Gender pay gap" has had, yet just also affects the material circumstances of many women.

I imagine it could be one issue where there might be agreement on, between those who lean towards "traditional gender roles" and some feminist organisations.
