I highly doubt the devs themselves run microsoft. I could be wrong but theres probably a manager or two in there as well. Maybe I'm stuck in the past, but I was under the impression that devs build the thing, others decide what it is thats built. If that is the case, then I personally wouldn't call a dev 'incompetant' because of a decision not made by them.

Of course you could say they should stand up against this, but again, whilst theres this hostility towards other devs, why are you going to risk not being able to put food on the table for someone on the internet who thinks your an idiot?

(As an aside, the analogy doesn't really stretch that far since developers are hired by companies whereas mechanics are paid directly by customers. Perhaps car designers would be a better fit here, but again, other car designers would be quick to point out the problems with your complaints, but thats by the by)
Sure there is!

There are people who act with malice and sadism, people driven to harm others, people overwhelmed by greed and people consumed by a lust for power. And there are people who devote their lives to aiding others, people who are mindful of their community's needs, people who take opportunities to help others over opportunities to help themselves.

All these sorts can be found across the whole spectrum of wealth.

Generally, I think the best approach is to:

1. Store UTC datetimes and do all calculations in UTC (or Unix epochs)

2. Store the timezone separately

3. When rendering dates/times in the UI, convert the UTC datetimes to local dates/times.

I forgot where I first saw this recommended. I think it's recommended in a lot of places, though.
I’d say very likely canceled quietly. Otherwise they are just taking the punishment twice, there isn’t a change they could make that would allow them to go live with this kind of thing at a later date and not get raked over the coals.

Just because they tend to move towards less lethal doesn’t mean they never can go the other way, as evolution is not a plan or choice. Something increases lethality but extends overall illness time, increases transmissibility, increases asymptomatic time, or a combination would outcompete other less lethal versions. While, in the long run, a less lethal virus would be more beneficial to the virus, that wouldn’t stop a more lethal version from burning through a population until it dies out by destroying its own habitat.
No other company is scanning for CSAM on your phone, if you have proof of that please bring it forward. I would love to see evidence of that on my Microsoft, Linux, and Android devices. We'll be waiting. Everyone and their uncle knows everything in the cloud is scanned unless it's encrypted before being uploaded.
For what it's worth, I had the same issue. The Add a New File button was not obvious enough for me to find.
Yeah, that was the problem with most attempts I saw, unordered_map won't work. I did write a persistent hash map and vector [1], but ended up mostly using them in C++ projects. I wouldn't advise anyone else to use them at this level of testing/maturity though. Writing them was super interesting.

I guess we're splitting hairs over "reporting" and "self-reporting." I think the idea is that there is a layer - yes, a fallible, human one - between detection and reporting.
Hmm, having experienced the influx of 1.5 million people into an area smaller than Alberta, and the social consequeces in the last 5 years, i'd say you are being very glib. Thr shit show is just starting.
Actually I think they are being penny wise and pound foolish. Alternately, they are distracted by the new shiny.

Early sources, such as this classic book

https://www.amazon.com/Image-Guide-Pseudo-Events-America/dp/...

frame public relations and marketing folk as cynical manipulators who don't fall for the illusions they create.

The post-modern environment has had about 60 years to develop since that book was written and I think the culture has deteriorated and I believe that, today, the image makers really do live in the "the matrix" they've created and have trouble distinguishing it from reality. (I think of how Valmont in Dangerous Liaisons really fell for his victim Madame de Tourvel.)

My contacts with local business people and people who sell ads for radio and newspapers have convinced me that prices for advertising were too high for a long time because the people who buy advertising get gratification from hearing their name on the radio and the people who advertise won an auction because they get more gratification from hearing their name on the radio more than anyone else.

Years ago somebody who was an "influencer" would try to appear authentic (not an "influencer") but today authentic people will try to look inauthentic ("i pretend to be an influencer even though I don't get paid") to get credibility.

People under this spell will run ads in situations when they clearly shouldn't and they'll be astonishingly resistant to anyone who tries to talk sense into them.

(Your desktop usage does make income for Microsoft since your OEM bought Windows for you. If they annoy you enough you might switch to Linux, MacOS, etc. Unfortunately your OEM probably wants to wreck the value of a $2000 computer they sold you by selling $2 worth of annoying ads.)
Putting together primitives in a way that doesn't have subtle flaws is not trivial. Many a standard have been vulnerable due to this. You think you can do better?

We do have simple, well engineered, and sometimes even probably secure constructions. Look at libsodium if you want a decent example of what a modern library looks like.

And stay away from anything that mentions the words NIST, FIPS, or any other government acronym. You aren't going to find modern, well-engineered, simple crypto in anything catering to that market. It's always hideously overcomplicated and rife with chances for bugs.

The problem – as always – has been one of compatibility. The original Bourne shell from the 70s didn't have scoping at all, or functions, or arrays, and ksh added stuff on top of that in ways which maintained compatibility. Changing all of that would be like Python 3, except worse.

Bash copied a lot from ksh and zsh (and zsh also copied a lot from ksh), which was a closed "improved Bourne shell" at the time.
Don't tell anybody about this in your life- this is seriously embarrassing.

Well, I have a hunch the scheme world is moving towards delimited continuations, so virtually free call/cc isn't that interesting anymore.

And the continuations are only cheap in the chicken context. Other schemes with other GC strategies have continuations with a large overhead, but still manage to be faster than chicken in benchmarks that are very continuation heavy.

Chicken is a very nice scheme, with probably the nicest Devs of any open source project, but cheney on the MTA is not magic by any stretch.
It's also just plain weird and inconsistent - like so many windows apps by MS. The default OS behavior is fine, and works. Why are they going to the extra effort to break it? Other apps sometimes decide to minimize to the tray, but even those don't stick around in your alt-tab order o_O. You'd think first party apps would adhere more strictly to OS norms, but no...
Tomatoes are the most noticeable example to me. A grocery store tomato can't hold a candle to a garden one. Large berries are also a great point, basically just large solid water that they charge $4 a pound for.

I don't have that issue with apples or bananas however. Both in the north east and south east, I've always had solid apples and bananas, with quality varying by store (I love Aldi, but their produce is lacking in my experience). Generally speaking, if the fruit or vegetable is too big, it's probably bad in my experience.

On honeycrisps - I hate how large they are. They're good apples most of the time, but way too big for me to want to eat all of in one sitting. I much prefer a small firm apple.
I prefer apps built using APIs like Vulkan or OpenGL to apps built using electron because they do not feel as sluggish. I think the Blender UI also uses OpenGL to render the interface. One criticism of this approach that has come up in many threads on the same topic however was the lack of accessibility. This is a big pro for electron (and also native development).
The argument has nothing to do with more resources resulting in more power, of course that is the case. The question is how does one acquire those resources and maintain them. In proof of work, resources need to be derived and maintained external to the system... who can produce the fastest processors, who can produce the cheapest electricity, who can maintain the more efficient data centers, etc etc... This comes with big risk and require constant upkeep.

In proof of stake, the person with the most resources is the person with the most coin and maintaining that not only costs nothing... maintaining it produces more of the very resource.
Sadly, the cats out of the bag and Apple, Google and the rest of us will no longer have the plausible deniability that kept this sort of thing in check.

Soon enough every tinpot dictator in the world will be demanding their particular flavour of device scanning inside and outside of their jurisdiction.
Also many perfumes and colognes. Some can be incredibly overwhelming.

Hmm, I used hacker news block quote system, so the quote should show indented and mono space, whereas my comment is regular font. They appear quite distinct on Firefox on windows and chrome on Android to me. As well there's a blank space line. Can you advise what additional space would've been beneficial?

I see you've never been in a video editing bay. An editor is where all of the results from the other crafts of trade all land in one pile. Plus, it's actually the editor's job to get rid of the crap and pull out the gems. The vitriol I've heard (and given) from an edit bay would make for a great niche series that would only be understood by other editors (meaning it would not be succesful).
> ... VS feels like a big, bloated IDE where you have to memorise the location of 4e6 different GUI positions and take your hands continually off the keyboard to do anything.

it sounds like you are completely ignoring the command palette, which allows for a quick, keyboard-only way of interacting with VS Code. have you given it a chance?
In Colorado I have been using a few different Coway air purifers and they have been able to keep the air quality in my house good, and quickly can recover that good air quality after running my swamp cooler in the morning/evening. Been overall happy with them but perhaps this box fan/merv filter is a good backup to have in case it gets really bad.
I told my current mechanic about my last mechanic's quote for a job and they laughed and said it was a rip-off and otherwise derided them. And my current mechanic works fast and doesn't waste my money.
What is going on with Docker?
> “What is it about enterprise companies that make so many of them abandon native apps, when they could surely afford to develop one app for each platform?”

If this is the case though, why when I follow links to strong web apps like Twitter and reddit and Facebook, do I got plagued with “try the app! It’s better!” prompts?

I developed/maintain 2 apps that both have native variants. So 4 apps total. And I often bemoan the duplicity and wonder if we shouldn’t unify them. But then I see that the web guys are still pushing me to use native apps. I find it very circular/confusing.
> Of course you could say they should stand up against this, but again, whilst theres this hostility towards other devs, why are you going to risk not being able to put food on the table for someone on the internet who thinks your an idiot?

Very few developers are in the position of starving if they refuse to implement terrible ideas. If they are in that position, fine, but at least feel an appropriate amount of shame for the garbage you're making.

I think the car designer version supports what I'm saying: Tesla wants to replace the steering wheel with a yoke and people are rightly criticizing them for it.
Xbox with Kodi > loading a plex plugin... the native plex app for xbox buffers a crazy amount. Also have youtube red, hbo max all loaded on the xbox so its a one stop shop for living room entertainment.

Porting cross-platform projects to the operating system that looks and feels very different to pretty much everything else out there. I prefer doing that from the comfort of my primary desktop OS.
No, they're just uploading it to their servers, scanning it to form a comprehensive profile of you and selling the results to the highest bidder.
While I generally agree with your take, it's important to remember that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Sometimes the most evil actors are those knights who believe they are fighting for some great holy cause.
> According to federal data, adults with substance-abuse disorders make up just 2.6 percent of the total population but 72 percent of all jail inmates sentenced for property crimes. Addicts are 29 times more likely to commit property crimes than the average American.

I feel as though your appeal to censorship is emboldened by your sense that I have enfringed on some social code regarding sexism.

I appreciate your counter anecdata, and I recognize that it offers a counter argument to my assertions.

I don't think that means we should take my post down. Do you truly believe that? Do you believe in such limiting of speech? Have I committed a thought crime by thinking that using up speak during a presentation is a defense mechanism? Is it possible I am sometimes right?

I hold that it's possible that I am sometimes wrong. Do you allow that perhaps I am sometimes right?

Do you think this post should be taken down too?

Are you able to introspect on your social groups usage of upspeak and ponder a reason as to it's origin? Perhaps it's advertising a set of values?
In 99% of cases yes, but the millennium bridge was a special case.
Apple was part of the original development of ARM. Thus I don’t think they have to pay anything for it.
I don't understand putting your personal safety at risk (who knows if he had a knife or something) over £100 of goods belonging to a £20B company. It's not like he stole your meat and cheese as you were shopping. Nobody is going to miss that cheese. Nobody is going to get fired over it. It's really not that important.
What a great video. I appreciate the care and effort that went into this.

If you are interested in growing some oyster mushrooms, you can pick up a self-contained growing kit for ~US$20. It's not difficult, and it really is a lot of fun to mist your babies and watch them grow over your sink. They really are delicious simply sautéed in some butter and garlic.
> If more and larger crops could be grown on even more marginal land closer to where people desperately need the food then it is a solution we should use.

That's not going to happen. People that desperately need the food don't have a problem of not growing enough rice or potatoes because of the nature of the crop. It's not why they are hungry. It's any other reason, politics, weather, logistics, economics, you name it.

The only things this will do is allow some company to patent this, and then sell it under restricted conditions that will be unfavorable to those who are hungry.

Yield increase is not really a winner if you have no water, if you are at war, if you don't have money/land, or if corporations own your society.

We reached a state in humanity development where any improvement in agricultural yield for basic food is not only unnecessary, but will lead to more problems than solution.

No, there are certainly ISA related performance factors.

RISC-V compressed instructions are easier to decode than x86 but you still need to detect boundaries and mux instructions to their proper lanes. And if you don't you have problems with i-cache pressure.

In theory instruction fusion can do a lot to increase backend instruction density. But to equal other ISAs RISC-V have to be fusing triplets instead of just pairs and that's a quadratically harder problem.

It's not the end of the world but I don't think it's an accident that x86, on of the simplest CISC ISAs, and ARM, one of the most complex RISC ISAs, ended up being dominant.
> ...the electoral college system means that not all votes are created equal. For instance, due to population disparities, a vote in Vermont is three times more powerful than a vote in New York. The electoral college ignores the will of the American people by allowing a presidential candidate to be elected even when they did not win the majority of the popular vote, an instance which has occurred four times in U.S. history. The power of a vote in the United States depends on the population of one’s state, not on the inherent act of voting itself.

It's really not hard to put the US electoral system to shame when it includes "features" like that.
When you hand it off to google it's now on their servers and as their user agreements point out your shit will be scanned and made available to law enforcement upon request and proper authority (whether that's a warrant or just Bill from computer forensics asking for it, I don't really know). When it's on your phone it is not being scanned. It's just like having to get a warrant to rifle through your house for evidence. The same should be required for personal devices. It being digital doesn't mean it should be any less safe than if it was on paper.

But that model represented the input/output behavior of the neuron. Of course it doesn't represent the behavior of every single atom of the neuron itself, but that isn't relevant to its computational behavior.
I guess more than half ( if not all ) of the comments here haven't actually read the article? It is very specific

> Apple is currently looking for experienced programmers with detailed knowledge of the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) and Arm's Neon vector ISA for its Vector and Numerics Group (VaNG) within its Core Operating Systems group. Apple's VaNG is responsible for developing and improving various embedded subsystems running on iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS.

The Job description even goes on to the task.

>The programmer will work in a team that’s “implementing innovative RISC-V solutions and state of the art routines. This is to support the necessary computation for such things as machine learning, vision algorithms, signal and video processing,” the job description says.

This is specific to RISC-V Vector Extension. And specific to certain type of workload.
Like anything gene based, it can be used for good/evil.
That said, it has great potential for good - with full knowledge and regulation.

State sponsorship doesn't matter, what matters is that it's secure. Everyone knew Dual-EC DRBG was likely backdoored, it stank to hell and back. There are dozens of other CSPRNGs, including other "state sponsored" ones, that pretty clearly aren't. There is also a whole world of crypto developed by people not associated with any state, including the modern ec25519/ChaCha based combinations (which are partly a response to the idea that the widely used NSA proposed ECC parameters may also be backdoored).

There are trustable people doing things right with easy to use libraries you can just drop in today, with documented rationale for the designs and without any "magic numbers" (which are a telltale of the backdoored and suspected-backdoored NSA algorithms).
It adds to the security model and (more importantly) adds SVE2. More things are coming down the pipeline too.
