The wording is: 'these activities might be visible' to websites. But that is a lie. They are visible.
I think with "few lines of codes as possible" he wants auditability. Rob mentions it as something of a feature:

https://youtu.be/MkJkyMuBm3g?t=744 about 12 minute mark, he mentions how people used BusyBox in US army because they wanted to audit all the code, and this was his realization.

I think it's a worthy goal. But surely if bc is missing some useful features there is probably no harm having multiple implementations.

Supposedly lying down without any activity for over a year but no signs of muscle atrophy. Actively resists when doctor tries to open eyes. Jaw muscles actively clenched shut. Obvious motive to lie. Maybe there is more medical evidence, but from what the article says it sounds like bullshit.
You can't see the individual pixels. This is illustrated better by the second image, in which the same pixels occur in a random order. It is mostly a uniform gray, despite the fact that almost all of the pixels are not gray.
As a human analog, just think about how you would write down instructions for someone to recreate the image.

For the ordered image:
"Make a 16 by 16 grid of boxes, each getting redder from left to right and top to down. Inside each box make a 16x16 grid of boxes getting greener, and inside each of those boxes make a 16x16 grid of pixels getting bluer". Done.

Vs. the random image:
"Make a blueish red pixel with a bit of green. Then make a reddish blue pixel with a a moderate amount of green. Then make a brownish pixel. Then make a greenish pixel..." That will go on for about 16 million sentences!

Image compression is simply coming up with a language that's good for describing images, and then an algorithm for writing succinct descriptions in that language. Rather than being human friendly languages (a modest number of complex words made from an alphabet), they are computer friendly languages (a ton of simple words made from 0s and 1s.)

JPEG compression separates out the image into "component" images. One component is brightness, another is hue, and a third is saturation. Each of those components map nicely to how human vision works. In particular, brightness needs high resolution and precision. Hue needs high precision but resolution doesn't matter. Saturation doesn't need high resolution or precision. Therefore, each component can be compressed differently and independently from each other. The component images are further broken up into a grid of 8x8 boxes, and then each of those boxes are approximated via a weighted sum of reference box images (the encoder and decoder have a dictionary of reference boxes they both agree to use.) For each box, only the weights are saved. The weights themselves can have varying precision, and that's basically you're controlling when you set the "jpeg quality". Higher quality jpegs have more precision in their weights, and lower quality jpegs have less precision in their weights.
Seems like an open way to get what AWS SSM authnz provides.
Health care software is being forced to be interoperable soon in the US. The 21st Century Cures Act requires it (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/21st_Century_Cures_Act). One interesting and, to technologists, disappointing aspect of the regulation is the complete lack of a standard by which to interoperate. There is no prescription for any data format for any type of health information. Health software companies are only required to provide a hyperlink to a web page that describes the data format.

This is a step in the right direction but it certainly doesn't enable the anything that looks like the developments we have seen around the internet due to its open protocols. Health care will be "interoperable" without any of the compatibility or interfaces the TFA wants. We need regulators who understand the technology and have a much higher standard for interoperability if we are to demonopolize the internet.
Agreed that is a pain. In fact if Google did it they'd likely be accused of making it less useful to purposely get people to not use it.
It would be great if cryptocurrency moved people's irrational fetish for artificially scarce, low-risk, rapidly appreciating assets into the digital sphere. Then we could be rid of this curse in the real world, where it ruins lives and societies.
Nice. I assume you are hosting PNGs for 'get embed code' feature?

Could you instead store diagram definition in DynamoDB free tier, and create PNGs on the fly?
Agree thar work ethic is the most important thing since complicated qualitative things cannot be measured, trust precedes everything. But work ethic does not complete the puzzle because people dont know always what they dont know.

For the example you mentioned, I will use a simplification I make to explain levels of expertise of challenging knowledge:
1.ABOUT: Know about something (heard it, know some examples) 2. KNOW: Know that something well (I now understand it and can leverage it towards an end to end a useful thing, also know its weaknesses) 3. HUMBLE: Realize I did not know many things about it but now know many ways of using it, can correct and extend other people's work, most of the time. 4. EXPERT: Know why it was structured that way. Contribute to the knowledge/tool itself.

So for that PhD an initial estimate would be a 3 or 4 scale on the math level, 1 or 2 on the kubernetes level (don't know him ofcourse I can be wrong without first discussing). If he works independently level 2 kubernetes is pretty great. If he needs to be part of a larger support team, a level 3 knowledge based on my (admittedly back of the napkin and ambiguous) categorization might prove to be less risky.

This has been a major pain point at both my current company and my prior one. So much time is lost to tooling or devops vs far superior paid devops.
If and when these become common, while there will be instances where such devices and detection is helpful and life saving, I'm wondering if for the larger population it will only lead to increased hypochondria. Only time will tell I guess..
These are features I do not want and will not buy. This is one step too personal.
> and indeed the barrier to switching is so low

the cost of switching is not low though, exactly for lack of interoperability

Why do I get the impression this is an attempt at being mysterious because "can't openly state something that's wrongthink!"

When really no one would consider what you're vaguely implying "wrongthink" or inflammatory at all. They'd probably just consider it "normal wrong" and poorly supported by reality...
Sad, that it is not running on macOS. For the last few years I used Gimp, but I have a feeling that Gimp is getting more and more unintuitive nowadays (if it ever was intuitive).

Recently I needed to do some ad-hoc drawings and I found myself using one of these online paint clones. They are not as comfy as desktop apps but they are doing the job good enough.

I would really like to see Paint.NET running on macOS. I think MS efforts for making .NET cross platforms are somehow half-assed. They ported just so much to run web apps and REST services, but totally gave up on GUI stuff. Maybe it's their strategy to lock up devs to windows machines, as there are many tools like ILSpy that .NET devs often use.

The community answer, the last time I checked, was AvaloniaUI (https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia) which is cross platform port of WPF (at least XAML based). ILSpy is already ported to it (https://github.com/icsharpcode/AvaloniaILSpy) but it runs poorly on Linux & mac (I have experienced random crashes and other UI problems). I hope the project will do well and within a year or two we will also see a port of Paint.NET to it.

There is only so much land in the lower mainland, and a huge influx of new residents every year. Whatever is going on in the Vancouver metro area is not laissez-faire capitalism. For examples of that, look to the major metros in Texas where zoning is lightly regulated and prices are comparatively lower than elsewhere.

FWIW, I find the zoning argument to be the most persuasive if your goal is to make housing more affordable. If you have other goals, including a transit-friendly city, bike-friendly city, "green" city, etc then it will definitely not be optimal.

Yes and no. The public's (and media's) inability to differentiate between preprints, efficacy vs safety trial stages, and basic statistics boggled my mind.

I guess pre-COVID I would have said "Some people are ignorant." Post-COVID experience, I'd agree more with "Some people are ignorant and refuse to admit their ignorance, to the extent of cherry picking reality."

It's like expecting some people were bad at math, but getting a stack of tests back where half have multi-page essays on why numbers don't exist.

This is why I'm disappointed that Apple stopped selling Airports. They're good quality, they do what they do well, they don't have tons of "features" to try to sell them, and they're supported for incredibly long periods of time. The last updates, issued in July, 2019, covered Airports going back to 2008.

I'm waiting for a company - any company - to start selling devices that don't have tons of gratuitous features which expand the security surface, that aren't deprecated within a year or two, and that don't tie us in to some "cloud" service or paid subscription.

Quick word of warning, if you download it: The release archive doesn't create a directory, just untars into $CWD. So do this:

It doesn't ignore the contradiction; it acknowledges it very early on in the article, in a paragraph dedicated to the point. "Would my net worth suffer if housing was affordable?" the paragraph opens. "Yes."
This could potentially be abused, but you could actually try to resolve the DNS to determine if it's valid (could be weird for some cases like localhost or IP addresses). Or just do a "curl https://whatever.com" and see what happens (assuming that all of the websites are running a webserver, although idk if that is true in your situation)
It is a pure fact that the stack is not free. That it is heavily optimized is itself proof of the fact; you don't optimize what is already free.

And, especially for heavily optimized features, you can only meaningfully measure specific cases, so generalizing is generally wrong. Which was the point of my remark.
Don't know if this qualifies as cool but I built a single purpose site to list IMDb ratings of all episodes of a TV show in a grid, which runs on GitHub Pages. It doesn't use any external APIs.

I built it mainly for personal use. I know IMDb ratings aren't perfect but it's a decent measure of mass opinion.

Its actually becoming a larger problem than people might realize. More organized gangs sending people "inside" the system to get them intel and also make sure things go well overall for their people.

It's especially a problem in corrections which has laxer standards and background checks where gangs will send people to be the guards that are in charge of their people. "Gang infilitrator" has started becoming a serious concern and something they look out for at police and correctional academies.
The shape warnings don't seem to matter (something to do with the onnx runtime). Interactive mode needs sox installed or for you to specify a --play-command

lol. I think you'd be surprised.

Mostly I'm referring to the mass-produced engine itself here, not the car. After all, we live in a world of 1000 BHP turbo LS engines stuffed into old Ford Fairmonts turning single digit quarter miles.

Having said that, at what point is there legislative pressure to limit new cars. JDM is an existing model.

You probably need to get into management if your desire is to make more money and stay in IT...

Also, I always had a strong passion for music, so I started a band as a "side-project" and it added a huge amount of fun to my life...plus it allowed me to meet interesting non-tech people and really put in perspective the "work" side of my life comparted to the "living" side.

It sounds like you need more "living" and less "work"...of course, music probably isn't your thing but anything that really interests you outside of IT could be considered as a way to get out of the rut you find yourself in.
What makes them irrelevant? I have many times valued old Stack Overflow answers or out of date blog posts because I also needed to work with older tech.

> Housing is much more affordable in places where supply is allowed to grow without government interference

I just don't believe this. I'm sorry. The difference between texas (which part, for one thing) and vancouver isn't down to real estate regulation. There are plenty of places in BC where you can buy a home for texas prices, and real estate regulation isn't that different city to city.

Surprised to see this downvoted, I've been using Pinta as the Paint.NET replacement on Linux and it's been pretty stable so far.

Though I do remember accidentally installing it from the default Ubuntu repositories once and it kept crashing really often. Turns out that version is almost 6 years behind the current stable release.
No mystery. You can simply make the claim that Apple would detect anything that's anti-Apple. Why not? It isn't like that the company has anything approaching morality, aside from perhaps the occasional craziness from the worker-drones there.
We’re much better off letting the market decide on the best standard. Imagine if XML had become the only legal standard for data transfer. Or SAML the only one for authentication. While one single standard is preferable, regulators should give the market time to evaluate which standard is battle proven.
I agree with everything you said; but coming from a place where 20 +++ hrs a week is spent in video meetings (and that's after rejecting just as many invites), having only an hr a day means somebody somewhere, whether explicitly or culturally, already set up system and expectation when productive time is respective and meetings are minimized. In other words you are already in a place many of us only dream of :-)
AFAIK that wouldn't be the case with TPM 2.0
Few points:

1) Assuming you're in the US - Progressive has been offering this for years. Obviously not everyone is enrolled with Progressive, nor do I know how many of Progressive's customers are enrolled in it. But, if you think that it's good, you may want to look into it, again assuming you're in the US.

2) Everyone who drives extremely carefully, say the medical equivalent of young-healthy person, would want to enroll. However, rest of the people won't. Insurance companies want to balance their high-risk with low-risk customers, which is where I think it'll run into issues.

3) The issue comes when your insurance provider has access to detailed data. Say there was an accident where your insurance company would normally pay. But now, they will be able to dig into data and find some clause that they will use to deny your claim and find you at fault. And, therein lies the problem for everyone and not just bad, or less than excellent, drivers.
There are various ways to make this work out, eg. let leaseholders sell improvements on the land to the next leaseholder at time of transfer, which would then factor into who's willing to lease the land next and how much they are willing to pay for it.

At that point it's probably easier administratively to say that you "own" the property and are paying a "land value tax" rather than a lease, but the principle is the same. The government receives the economic returns from the land being scarce, from its location, and from public works that increase its utility. The developer or property owner receives the economic returns from improvements they personally make to the property. What could be more fair?
It's kind of already there. I can look at time spent in certain apps - when I'm in a depressed mood, I find myself trapped in brainless swiping, instead of being motivated to do the things that bring me joy and productivity.
I use Postbox on Windows at least. Have done for years. Far from perfect, based on Thunderbird so under the hood pretty solid, and looks and feels better mostly.
i would suggest bias your implementation against false negatives. They can always come back and update it if it's wrong, and their url could just as easily be "valid" but incorrect, eg any typo in a domain name.

if it's really important, you could try making a request to the url and see if it loads, but that still doesn't validate its the url they intended to input.

might be cool to load the url with puppeteer and capture a screenshot of the page. if they can't recognize their own website, it's on them.
This article presents no new insight into how you get existing (voting!) property owners to accept depreciation of their assets. My greatest hope for a technological solution is self driving cars which would reduce the duration and significance of travel times.
