Something like that, yeah.

If done right, the idea is that in the one configuration you have thirteen 24/25ths of a boy, so thirteen 96%-boys. You hide this as each one being slightly skinny.

In the other configuration you have twelve 26/25ths of a boy, so twelve 104%-boys. You hide this as each one being slightly fat.

The danger is that if you make the drawing too detailed and gorgeous, someone will be able to look at a little detail like eyes or so, if one of these 4% slices contains an eye then you may end up with boys with 1 or 3 eyes, something that any looker would say spoils the illusion.

You have a couple options there.

- People will accept a "dead zone" where the two moving parts interact, you can try to locate an eye inside the "dead zone" so that you don't trigger this W-T-F moment.

- Use cartoonishness/ambiguity. So maybe this dot means "eye" on this cartoon but "freckle" on that cartoon, similarly by locating the exact eye on the border between the two, maybe half a line goes from being "long eyelashes" to being "the middle of a winking eye" or so.

> At best, you replace trusting your ISP with trusting a different group of unknown people with similar motivations. At worst, it's a government agency honeypot or someone like Facebook.

You're starting with the (completely correct) observation that any VPN is not guaranteed to be secure, confidential, or private, and then making an argument as though it were the case that every reputable VPN is equivalent to every untrustworthy ISP. I think that's why your argument doesn't make sense to me: I don't think there's an equal chance that a VPN provider with a good reputation is going to sell me out as my ISP.

It's axiomatic in risk management that there is no way to completely remove all risk. Running a proxy and Tor is not a guarantee of security any more than running the world's shadiest VPN is, though it's obviously more secure by far. But, it's a question of what the acceptable level of risk is, and what the marginal cost to reduce that risk is. For many people, a $5-10 (non-shady) VPN is a perfectly reasonable step to take.
Async/await were officially added to c# 5 and .net framework 4.5

I think it was possible to have async/await in .net framework 4.0 via some workarounds when it was still in CTP mode but I don't recall the details.

My equity grants as a non-eng (but involved in prod dev) have ranged from 0.05% to 0.6% over the course of 10 years in startups (age 25-35). All Series A to Series B.

My take is that unless you are very good at judging leadership teams and company prospects, that joining a FAANG or a Series C+ scale-up (and even that takes thoughtful research and luck) is the better play.

Early stage at my past grant levels has to hit a unicorn valuation for the equity to match FAANG packages. I'm not even sure a $1B exit is enough after dilution, investor preferences, and god forbid down/flat rounds. Certainly not at the grants that I started at in my career.

Plus keep in mind that FAANG stock also appreciates. I see some folks not accounting for that growth and only startup valuation growth. Comp packages for mid level ENG and PMs are 400-500k / yr, not even including appreciation!
ICANN: "Remember, paying to register a domain name is not the same as "buying" it outright or permanently. You do now "own" a domain name. What you are doing is more like leasing the domain name from the registry operator that the domain name is associated with. Registration periods can vary depending on the registry operator. You cannot buy a domain name forever. However, you can continually renew its registration (before the registration period expires) to maintain control over it. While the term "buying a domain name" is also commonly used in relation to purchasing an existing domain name registered to someone else, the purchaser is not buying the domain name, but just acquiring the rights to register it to themselves and continue to manage and re-register it in the future."

"the Commission does not disclose the existence or non-existence of an investigation" seems to make it clear that law enforcement activities may not exist either. In order to comply with that, they would not be able to answer something like 'we do not have any records because there is no investigation', so you necessarily get a vague letter like this that seems like it may be suggesting there is an investigation.

Reading, a lot of reading. Read things beyond just what you need, like documentation and other technical works but literature in English. Reading books of antiquity usually have a few pages, in the beginning, explaining how translators dealt with transforming ancient languages and style to modern English for the contemporary reader. Helpful to observe how discrepancies between languages can be resolved and has helped me expand how I read, speak, and think in English over time.
Yes, there are many approaches like that. In one approach they train a network and prune it, then mask the pruned weights and retrain from scratch a sparse network from the original untrained weights.
If you're taking what I said to mean "of course individuals should just do better," I definitely didn't mean to imply that. Exactly the opposite, actually.

It's a bunch of smaller decisions that are hampered by new technology and lack of economies of scale, among many other compounding factors that result in poor consumer/business/utility/government choices (for the environment). I think sequestering may be an important part of that, but it's still new technology.

Wow, if I understand this correctly... this was posted on HN this morning, and by the afternoon it's already in the official cloudflare GH org?

That reflects extremely well both on this repo as well as cloudflare.
My MacBook Pro (2019) occasionally does this as well. I close the lid in the office, put it in my bag. When I take it out at home it’s turned off due to overheating and the battery is dead. The cause is some background process that’s preventing it going into hibernation when the lid is closed.
Can you browse the web for 3+ minutes without it becoming uncomfortably hot? (That is, with text-only websites at most)
Also, taking a picture that is better than what was possible on a flip phone in 2000? All that while it can barely hold a few hours.

The infrastructure bill is about to fail due to a few corrupt corporate Democrats.
That implies a whole other set of dirty tricks available - not only "laundering" products but using it to libel competitors or as a protection racket of sorts. Fungible commodities are a very awkward thing to differentiate, much less trace and proving that there is no basis is hard, especially if there are other counterfeit packagers.

If "Foo Fish" really uses only Pacific Cod but I find a package with Atlantic Cod printed and packed identically how can you prove a disregard for the truth or bad intentions in saying "Foo Fish contains lying mislabeled fish?" I sourced the fish from this store from this wholesaler with the same packaging.

Introducing PPKI could technically help but would be a logistical nightmare and vulnerable to copying.
I'm a hobbyist photographer. Not enough energy for the hobby to learn new software, so I'm stuck with Lightroom. And since I didn't want another Mac, I'm on Windows now for my personal laptop.

Yep the 2017 was bad. The 2013s were very good, but the 2019 16-inch... I had 3 replacements and it still sucked; it got so hot I could bake pizzas on it and no matter how Apple tried to blame me (my usage patterns), when I got to the store they couldn't make it stop and replaced it. My friends (not of great statistical value, I know) had exactly the same issues. In the end I got the m1 (not pro) and it is actually cold all the time which is unpleasant on the wrists in winter. I don't use my laptop for very intensive things; even my programming stuff doesn't take a lot of power so I have no clue why the 19 kept blowing up, but I read online it's a pretty common issue.
Happily.

Yea I think this is a top 0.1% survivorship bias. Hitting 2 startup lotteries in a row at that kind of exit. Kudos.
Our solution was two test suites.

End-to-end (which I will fight for being the highest value test site, and it's not close) had no external dependencies.

And a separate test suite that touched external services, split into two components: one that tested our integrations, typically against a remote testbed (if the 3rd party was competent enough to have such a thing), and a second chunk that attempted to see if remote api behavior had changed. Which it does with annoying regularity.
I can't tell the difference between leaded and unleaded gas. So it shouldn't matter if I use leaded gas.
There are millions of lines of code in a bios supported by billions of transistors. A wireless component can fit inside any innocuous chip at any part.

Software wise, the bios can contain many flaws that can be exposed via peripherals, remotely, etc. The certificates are kept secure by unknowns parties protected by algorithms that few can prove the validity of.

A physical attack access is rarer (* from sophisticated attackers). Sophisticated/dominant attackers leverage low end attackers to do the actual physical attack. Identification and knowledge of such an attacker greatly diminishes that attacker's capability and credibility. Low end attackers are also resources.

Remote attacks do exist. One of the common attack frameworks is a type of radar attack that exploit bugs in the hardware design. They work like RFID where some component has an exploit that can be activated remotely by radar. Defending against such attacks is quite difficult. Other attacks include errors in manufacturing. Not all chips come out of the oven equal, and a sophisticated attacker need not risk physical detection when they are capable of deducing the how to exploit those errors.
I don't think you understand Plato. There's a spectrum of purely mouthpiece to actually what Socrates said/thought throughout Plato's dialogues. And generally the earlier the dialogue the more it's actually Socrates, but as Plato's own views developed it became more of a mouthpiece.

Since Republic is middle period, it's definitely not just the views of Socrates, and since it also included the theory of forms it's arguably mostly Plato speaking through the character of Socrates.
I'm not unfamiliar with Linux and I've been looking into switching recently after a long string of Windows "features" causing problems, but unfortunately gaming isn't the only area Microsoft has an advantage. Linux still doesn't support HDR, for instance. It also has a lot of problems with desktop compositing, because the switch from X to Wayland is at the point where neither of them are good options. That's not even getting into enterprise software compatibility.

For programming, by all means use Linux instead of Windows, it's better. For anything else, it's still not there yet.

Agreed about documentation. They produce a lot of it but it’s hard to use and doesn’t really give you the big picture. I know I am old but in the 90s and 2000s the MSDN documentation was fantastic. Sad to see it going downhill that much.
Sorry, meant to reply to grandparent.
Nobody loves it, but nobody hates it enough to complain. Every layer of decision making wrapped in a desire to avoid controversy and shed responsibility results in bland edifices with no character and often poor function.

Look at the Pyramid in Memphis (Tennessee, USA)... Big boondoogle of a thing no one can find an effective use for and yet it could be said to be one of the first visible signs of the spirit of that city aspiring to rise out of the river mud. Or perhaps its just a scam that hasn't fully collapsed yet.

Either way it's not actually inspirational or even pretty. Its just slightly different bland blocky cheese than the usual bland blocky cheese and that alone is enough to stir strong emotional reactions. We're that accustomed to the cheese.
This seems like an excessively personal and aggressive way of making a point that almost everyone would agree with: On one hand, many people ascribe "meaning" to too many things. In that sense, a limited form of nihilism is appropriate. But, on the other hand, that doesn't entail that it is appropriate to purge any commitment to meaning from every aspect of life, under any of the many diverse meanings of "meaning." (Ha.) People who go too far in either direction tend to be annoying. You should for example, derive "meaning" from your relationships with family and friends, accept that your actions have "meaning" insofar as they express values, etc.

Meanwhile, it says almost nothing about what strikes me as the real problem: for those who share the authors' (dubious) concern with finding meaning in exactly the right things and nothing else, how do we choose? Why is it appropriate to reject (e.g.) patriotism and religion while honoring the meanings we find in friendships? Maybe we shouldn't work too hard to invent meaning, or to insist that others find it in the same places we do, but why not accept and honor meaning wherever in life we find it?

Another conspicuous omission: any attempt to grapple with the different meanings of "meaning" across which the author seems to be freely equivocating here.

Maybe he gets into these more interest topics in other chapters, but the style and tone of this one has turned me off enough that I'm not too interested in looking.
Why not?

M-W's lexicographers openly discuss their process of descriptively documenting language as it's observed in real use. If usage of the word "cromulent" continues to grow to the point that it reaches the threshold for inclusion, it, by definition, belongs in the (descriptive) dictionary.

A 'personal god' in this sense means a God who is a person, not a God with whom one has a close relationship.
The main problem I see over and over with E2E tests is that they keep people from getting good at unit tests. The E2E are a magical security blanket that covers over all of the mistakes you’ve made leading up to them.

It’s much easier to build a testing pyramid from the bottom up. The skills maturity comes from the bottom of the pyramid, not the top, and thinking about the end game stunts your growth.

Often E2E tests have such sunk costs involved that they materially affect the project roadmap.
This whole digression seems like a weird snipe at "identity politics" when in this particular case, its pretty clear cut.

Could it be wikipedia, a definitively non-Muslim source, is not a good source of information on Islamic belief and practice.

That is not a measure of how effective they are, but a summary of whether they are filing the necessary disclosure forms and whether their administrative fees are too high or not.

If the EFF lost every single case and donated half their money to their political opponents, then this rating would still be unchanged provided they disclosed everything and didn't take much of a cut for overhead.

Let me give you another example.

The professional will create meaningful photography with lowest quality tools available.
The amateur on other hand, will produce meaningless pictures even with most expensive and advanced camera or some smartphone labeled "Pro".

For usual memorabilia use cases normal people will be fine with a smartphone from 2014.

But if you are professional, who has knowledge and desire to capture a moment with enough quality, you will never leave your house without a camera. And this camera never will be an iPhone or any other smartphone. This use case will be the extreme exception from the rule.

If we are in the digital realm of photography, here are some cameras that will be considered adequate:

* Fujifilm X100V

* Ricoh GR III

* Sony RX100 VII

With this you can produce award-wining work, with iPhone you will produce mainly self-esteem or some form of social validation.
Flaky tests are an indication of non-determinism either in your test or your system.

Yeah, my first though upon reading the article was: If their E2E tests produced non-deterministic results due to asynchrony, how can they have any confidence that their production data ever becomes 'eventually consistent'?
It's "for our security," dontchaknow.
OK, imagine this: A 13 year old makes an account, goes through your onerous KYC process, plays some game. Gets banned for saying something offensive under his breath when the game suddenly turns his mic on without him expecting it.

You're thinking "Great, problem solved, this kid will literally never be allowed to play another video game as long as he lives"

OK, in actuality, he's just going to use his mom's ID next time. And his dad's. And his grandparents' IDs. etc, etc

There'll be a whole gray market for IDs from all over the world to pair to your ridiculous Orwellian service, because thankfully it won't be backed up by penalty of death
