I've been working on a couple of chording keyboard designs and was thinking I might be able to create a virtual keyboard using this library. It would be nice to also be able to recognize the hand from the back. A keyboard would also obviously be necessary to track two hands at a time.

Is Windows 10 about to receive any requires updates?
As an outsider I see how you can think that way, but alas Falkon is not a 'new' browser.

It's the ol' faithful Qupzilla, but rebranded to fall into the KDE umbrella. But as other KDE browsers (konqueror, rekonq...) it's dying a slow death only to fall in darkness.
It is available on Windows 10 and takes less than a minute to install.

The next feature update is Windows 11. I don't believe you should expect new features in 10 anymore, that wouldn't make much sense.

> The problem isn't with JSON but how some JSON deserializers work.

That makes no observable difference to the end-user of JSON wishing to use it as an interchange format. The standard might as well be perfect, but if nearly all of its implementations (yes, extending that into deserialization, not just parsing - because that's how most people use JSON!) are problematic, then the standard is effectively also problematic. This is why I also always include Python's broken implementation in my JSON rant - it's not indicative of the standard(s) being bad, but the ecosystem being bad.
There are probably sites doing this maliciously but the cases I've seen are weird things like only some subreddits and even then not always. I suspect there's a bug somewhere in a commonly used web framework or in Firefox mobile itself. This site for example doesn't have the issue in the desktop version of the site, only the mobile one.

> NB. If it's a graph: write out the edge list (etc.) .

I don't understand what issue you are referring to.

For a dense network, each pair of adjacent layers forms a complete bipartite graph. In other words, edges are all pairs with one node in layer N and another in layer N+1.

CNNs and RNNs take a little more work, but still easy to describe the graph structure.

Apple 'Surprised' by Developer Frustration with Its App Review Process
Downvoted for not conforming to the hive mind, I suppose.
I’ve also had this issue for quite sometime and I’ve used a few approaches over the years. My most recent approach has been to connect server A to server B, via WireGuard. Then on Server B I use nginx to reverse proxy the WireGuard IP address of Server A. This works nicely when:
1) you have access to install software server A, but it’s stuck behind a bunch of firewalls.
2) You’re trying to expose HTTP services- it’s possible to “stream” non-HTTP with nginx, but I don’t know enough to recommend that.

You might also want to look at Apache Guacamole or Boring Proxy. I’d love other recommendations!

No. Vendoring doesn't change the picture in that way in Rust at all. Let's go one by one:

> Obviously you're only protected against new compromises.

Same as in the case of default Rust workflow. Cargo.lock ensures that versions of your dependencies are the same across different machines/devs.

> If the code is already compromised you're screwed (but not worse than using normal downloaded dependencies).

Yes, I generally read the code of my dependencies, so that's fine. Checking all the digests and crypto ever won't protect me from having to check what I use.

> This does make it possible that you miss security updates and other important features.

Again. Same as in normal Rust, thanks to Cargo.lock. But I think that's great, because the flip side of it is: I'm also going to miss all the new bugs. I don't want updates to be something that's happening behind my back. I want to check them and do them at the time of my choosing.

What vendoring brings to the table is the simplest solution to "is the code on crates.io the same as in the upstream repo", because with vendoring I don't care about the upstream repo at all. I only care about the copy of code that I have in my own repo. Going to GitHub and then checking if digests match would be a very roundabout way to do that, and then over the years people discover flaws in the hash functions etc. etc. I don't bother, I choose not to have to wonder about it at all. I don't care about what's on GitHub, I only care about what's in my own repo. And then again, there are issues of disappearing dependencies, which digests do not solve, but vendoring solves in the simplest way possible. Digests (already incorporated by Cargo by default) only solve someone pushing malicious code; vendoring solves the problem wholesale (assuming that you actually read the code).
Do you mean Common Carrier laws? Kind of like how FedEx won't care that you're shipping to their competitor, like UPS.

> Well done on missing my point entirely, possibly intentionally.

Nothing you said here illustrates that. You made yourself clear, and clearly you are for cannabis, but only theoretically for sex work between consenting adults, because you see negative effects from sex work that you think make it worth suppressing sex work between consenting adults.

Other people see externalities from cannabis use (although you argue as if you've never heard anyone mention any.) Other people see the fact that companies and banks can't support sex workers as something that causes sex work to be unmonitored and underground.

Neither of those last things are the point I'm making. The point I'm making and that the person you replied to was making is that you're having the debate. You don't have a problem in using the ability to receive payments or bank to prevent or encourage behavior, your problem is that you personally are not the regulator.

I don't think that protects the buyers of the fake illegal drugs, it just allows prosecutors to charge dealers of fake illegal drugs as if they were the real deal.

Under the Analog Act, fake drugs are considered as illegal as what they're represented to be (even if it's just baby powder.) I assume CA's law is the state counterpart of that Federal statute.
> After this near-disaster, the Houthis took a more active role on the ship. A small unit of soldiers was detailed to board the vessel. They carried weapons, which made the sepoc crew members nervous, given their fears about the leaks of flammable gases. The soldiers also installed surveillance cameras all over the ship.

That contributed exactly what to the safety of the ship and region?
I'd argue the top of the pyramid is actually formats such as HDF5. That format was started to store voyager data and we can still read it after more than 40 years. It makes the format of entries extremely clear ("this is an 3d array of floating point numbers in IEEE755 format, with 64, 2 and 17 entries per dimension") and encourages further meat data ("it is in statV per centimeter and came out of channel of of the intrument") in addition to naming the data set "electric field". Compared to horrible piles of binary data that used to be common (and still are!), it's a breeze of fresh air to work with.
let's solve this once and for all:

1. try to eat healthy, mostly-natural foods (and you know what is healthy and what isn't)

2. don't eat too much

3. exercise every day. sweat is a good indication

it's not THAT hard folks, go look at pics from the 1910s, obesity was almost nonexistant

also:

1. there is no way to be in shape while eating crappy food all the time

2. there is no way to be in shape and never exercise at all
> then you have dependency resolution issues because that's what the package and version needs and the upstream and down stream devs need to sort it out

I think your problem is that you're adding too many third-party repos. The distribution repos can be severely outdated, maybe even buggy, but fortunately most third-party repos are not troublesome. If you have one that is, don't add it, try an alternate installation medium, or consider a different application.

Completely agree. That was my takeaway as well.
These points largely don't hold true in the USA.

There is a gift tax exemption of $15k/yr, but with a lifetime cap and the total counts towards your estate taxes, so it ends up being paid in the end (assuming you die, and assuming your estate is rich enough to hit the limit, which is a fair assumption for this discussion).

In your other comment you mention how stock can be transferred "tax-free" in your jurisdiction. From your description I don't think it is actually tax-free, just tax-deferred. You still pay capital gains when you sell, no? But regardless this isn't true in the USA either. If I give appreciated stock to my kids, it is taxable by them as income at the current price.

There are trust funds and such that can be setup to gift the stock early before it appreciates and then pay it out later, but this is still a tax deferral scheme. The now-grown child still pays taxes when the fund matures and they access it.
It's been a good run all in all :cheers:
> Space is cheap.

That is subjective. Yes generally the drive storage is cheap. Apple storage in other hands are not cheap at all and charging a premium for it. Looking in MacBook Pro catalog, they are charging $200 for 513 GB SSD to 2 TB for $800. Most of the SSD of that range is in $50 - $150 USD. Drive storage is cheap, Apple storage are not cheap.

I don't want rust in the kernel. As a small time developer making a hardware product, the investment to understand the kernel and how to build drivers is already huge. I have no interest in learning rust, and it will make it harder for people with limited resources to use linux in their projects.
Some larger hospitals already have this, or had something like this. I know personally of one that had an in-house engineering team and it was slowly dismantled in a process of outsourcing, until the remainder of the team resigned as a group. It caused a certain amount of chaos.

EHR is sort of similar. To me, the roll-out of that was a disaster, and pushed what was in-house in most cases to being managed by EPIC and other EHRs out of the hospital. The mandates were a big mistake in my opinion, as it forced hospitals to scramble to use something being offered by outsiders, instead of collaborating to produce something open-source, or growing EHRs more organically from within the organization.

I personally blame the rise of hostageware in hospital settings partially on this trend.

My broader point is that although I think there's a lot of potential with open source hardware, software, and things like 3D printers, prevailing economic forces are pushing in the opposite direction. Consolidation and mergers, streamlining everything that doesn't contribute to increasingly dense profits as you go up the administrative chain. In this schema, better to outsource everything you can to trim costs. I don't agree with it, as I think it leads to a lot of hidden costs and hidden but lost benefits, but that's the idea.

Unfortunately, the combination of overregulation and profit-driven hierarchical management is creating pressures against in-house, from the bottom up creation of goods and medical services. The talent is there, it's just pushed out from the top.

Sometimes I feel like healthcare and the biomedical area is today driven more by the interests of profiteers than patients/clients/customers.
i.e. there is no liability for either of them? The point of granting full approval was so the government could claim that it is no longer be considered 'experimental'. Normally that means the usual liability rules kick in. If not because the usual rules are overridden by other rules elsewhere it would appear the approval was pointless and changed nothing.

The Meaning of Freedom at Work
On of the primary indicators when a grave site is examined to determine whether the society it belonged to were agriculturalists was to examine the incidence of dental caries. Low # of caries = non-agricultural society, i.e., one that lived on meats, dairy (in some cases), wild grains such as amaranth, and various greens. Even in tropical regions non-cultivated fruits were eaten haphazardly, as you might imagine - they are seasonal. In northern latitudes, fruit was an even rarer dietary item.
The fact that this was written by an economist makes the whole quote seem fairly self-masturbatory.

If everyone agrees the job is bad sometimes there is comradery to be found in that. Whether that is healthy comradery is a complicated question. My first job after graduate school was of that sort. Some good friends came out of that fire and I generally know that if I had to work again with anyone from that former situation I probably would, just not in that exact same situation. But that sort of "team spirit" is also its own tie that binds you to a bad situation and makes it worse too. You are more likely to stay and deal with a bad job when you have good people you work with day-to-day. We're a very social species that way and a lot of us have been convinced to stick with bad jobs or awful environments with good coworkers. Figuring out when to start interviewing in a situation like that is tough, especially if it starts to feel guilty like a betrayal of "team spirit". (In my own case it took almost a natural disaster shocking me to action and I still wonder if my breaking point should have been much earlier.)
I think the point is that no one knows which activities call for consent, or what all of their transitive dependencies do, and so they show it out of an abundance of caution. As should have been predictable by intelligent legislators, which the EU generally are.

Correlation != Causation. There are many reasons for this that have very little to do with the Gold Standard. I would suggest that technology itself has caused much if not most of this, as has the destruction of Unions, deregulation, and yes government corruption. But I've yet to hear a plausible explanation for how the Gold Standard somehow maintained wages in line with GDP. The only somewhat plausible reason I see here is that a free currency encouraged a move to assets, which protected the rich against inflation somewhat better than the rest.

Do any cloud providers have offline tape backups in faraday cages?

I did a "test drive" of newspapers at my local library (where they had a copy of each one). A couple thoughts:

- Seems like you might want to try a local newspaper. (Part of the charm of a newspaper is getting equal doses of world, national, and local news.)

- I think it's generally understood that the top papers in the U.S. are the New York Times and the Washington Post. The Post will have a little more political coverage/analysis -- often high-quality, but if you're trying to avoid that, I'd say the New York Times has a few more stories on things like business and culture.

Another option is the Los Angeles Times, which gives you more California/west coast news (and a bit more on the entertainment industry, but also environmental issues).

I guess just keep trying until you find one you like! (For a good international paper, there's the Financial Times.) If you're going to spring for a print magazine, the Foreign Affairs is said to be a high-quality international publication.
