Coincidentally I was just watching this talk from Bryan Cantrill: https://youtu.be/vvZA9n3e5pc. Around the 58 minute mark he shares an anecdote that is relevant to this thread. It boils down to him doing something where he would have written a simple bespoke balanced binary tree in C, but when writing a reimplementation in Rust used a "naive" library approach and was surprised to see a 35% speedup, which boiled down to the library using a btree instead of a balanced binary tree.

This doesn't invalidate your point about there being use cases for binary trees that may necessitate you to write your own, I take you at your word that you've often had strong use cases for this, but I do think it illustrates something I believe to be true, which is that people reach for linked data structures too often, when contiguous ones are a better default.
And just one paragraph further...

However, a 2006 report by the New York State Education Department found that the device was regularly used for minor disobedience and “behaviours that are not aggressive, health dangerous or destructive, such as nagging, swearing and failing to maintain a neat appearance”.

The report also found no evidence that the school “considers the potential negative effects, such as depression or anxiety, that may result from the use of aversive behavioural strategies with certain individual students”.

This is not some misunderstood school with a radical method. It's been investigated and condemned by the state authorities, the federal authorities (FDA) and internationally (by the UN as tantamount to torture). You'd be foolish to trust the school for claims like that.
Good INS actually involves combining several sources of information to produce a result better than any of them. A Kalman filter is the normal technique for this.

You're right that magnetometry information is incorporated, but better and better INS help too. Laser Ring gyros (mentioned elsewhere) were an innovation that was first developed for submarines. I have no idea what they use now.
It's completely irrelevant. The reason for the transition is climate protection and the climate cares about long term averages - the lifetime of CO2 in the atmosphere is on the order of centuries. Pushing that average baseline lower is what matters, even in the presence of occasional spikes.
iOS 15 from release date has had the most bugs I've ever experienced with any former versions of iOS. Siri would revert back to Dragon style text to speech randomly is one thing I noticed frequently.
I intend to do my best to teach my kids media literacy as soon as they are old enough. In other words, to teach them that publishing something doesn't make it truthful. That doing it for a camera doesn't make it normal. That people hide their intentions, follow bad incentives, and form groups to propagate bad ideas; especially online.

It will be tough but I think if I start earlier enough, I might be able to protect her psyche from the open cesspool that is modern social media. All media, really. From fake butts on Insta, to fake reviews on Amazon, to fake news on Infowars, to fake DIY hacks on YouTube. I will teach her that there are lies everywhere.
It’s pretty shocking. Had similar discussions w/ co’s dominating organic and paying ~~fucking con artists~~ affiliate marketers. IMO those are faaaaar worse than poorly allocated search spend..
> why wait for the industrial/capital machine to see the light and change course?

Because you not using pesticide in your garden while 100 square miles around you are getting sprayed on an industrial scale is a nice symbolic action that makes you feel cosy, but nothing more. Similarily personal climate changes are nice, but don't you ever fool yourself that this would even remotely dent the current trend.

The changes we need are not on the scale of "everybody that can should take a bicycle instead of a car" they are on the scale of we need to restructure the whole damn mobility system, the energy sector, industrial sector, logistics on a scale that makes the industrial revolution look like a walk in the park.

This is not something you can do from the roots up starting in your own backyard, this must come as a huge transformative movement carried by many people and aided by governmental and industrial interest, otherwise it is just not going to be enough.

Can't we replace "VPNs" with pretty much any service at this point though?

I haven't trusted 'review/ranking' sites in ages, because after see the same top 5 "best hosting providers ever!" lists one 3 sites, you kind of get a hint.

Perhaps you can understand why I thought you were speaking generally, when your comment is written generally. I can't read minds to figure out what your silently scoping your comment to.

But if saying I laughed and why I laughed is overly defensive, my apologies. I'm not sure how else I would tell someone I find their comment funny.
Being aware of the background of the author, I guess it has ZX support, for sure, but not for the z-machine.

Anyway, more IF is always good, but not for the ones like "Choose your own adventure", as these game are extremely linear. OFC, most of IF games can be put as "linear", but a lot of them have different methods to reach a point or solve a puzzle.

Typography is one of those ancient skills that's so well covered you can't go wrong anywhere you start. The only problem would be if you needed a class room environment or a one on one instruction. If you're a self starter then (as cliche as it sounds) launch off the wikipedia page : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typography

There'll be tons of instructional websites too. This is a 600 year old art that hasn't fundamentally changed its terminology. Anything on the nerdy to practical spectrum of knowledge is out there for you to grasp.
My home k8s cluster is now "locked down" using micro-vms (kata-containers[0]), pod level firewalling (cilium[1]), permission-limited container users, mostly immutable environments, and distroless[2] base images (not even a shell is inside!). Given how quickly I rolled this out; the tools to enhance cluster environment security seem more accessible now than my previous research a few years ago.

I know it's not exactly a production setup, but I really do feel that it's atleast the most secure runtime environment I've ever had accessible at home. Probably more so than my desktops, which you could argue undermines most of my effort, but I like to think I'm pretty careful.

In the beginning I was very skeptical, but being able to just build a docker/OCI image and then manage its relationships with other services with "one pane of glass" that I can commit to git is so much simpler to me than my previous workflows. My previous setup involved messing with a bunch of tools like packer, cloud-init, terraform, ansible, libvirt, whatever firewall frontend was on the OS, and occasionally sshing in for anything not covered. And now I can feel even more comfortable than when I was running a traditional VM+VLAN per exposed service.

Is it really censorship to ask one of the most valuable companies in the world not to give enormous sums of money to one of the richest comedians in the world specifically for content that is transphobic? Are you worried Dave Chappelle is going to be silenced?
Right, so it's bullying that's the problem, not the fact that the vast majority of kids have sex-based preferences for play and no amount of legislation will fix that.
I'm not saying there shouldn't be gender neutral stuff. Heck, as a parent, I tried to get as much of that kind of thing as possible both because I didn't want to force anything and because it makes hand-me-downs easier.
But the point is, the vast majority of kids do have sex-based preferences for play and other things.
Yes, we can accommodate those that don't, but the notion that all that stuff is merely a social construct flies in the face of lived experience and mountains of research.
Boys and girls also have different socialization tendencies. We can just pretend they aren't real, but that won't do any good and it won't help non-conforming kids not get bullied.
Or if you do, write down the results and publish them even if they’re negative. That’s how science is meant to work.
I believe that statistic. Air pollution is a killer. That causality chain is more indirect and longer than dying of acute radiation poisoning, but that radioactive coal fly ash is a stochastic killer; roll 400 million dice (the population of Europe) and just bias them a tiny bit (.01%), and a number like 40,000 easily pops out.
The problem with talking about behaviors’ physical substrate is that we can’t talk about cause/effect across the physical and social realms. Neurotransmitters don’t have causal effects on the “mind” any more than the wake of a ship has causal effects on its plotted course. Sure, dopamine levels change in response to addictive behavior, but they don’t cause it, and talking about causes in this realm is probably not as helpful or expedient as talking about cause I’d the personal/social realm. Reducing behaviors to neurotransmitters discards all the more complicated things we do during addiction like experiencing shame, changing lifestyle, eating, or sleeping habits, or even the higher level frameworks through which we rationalize and put value on things in the world.

Case in point: how can we possibly describe quitting cold turkey in a chemical framework? People do it all the time, yet it seems to be more of an act of moral courage than of basic, biologically driven behavior.

An insidious side effect of brain chemical teleology is that it victimizes us in an unnecessarily deterministic manner. “You can hardly help yourself, see, your brain is literally working against you by producing evil chemicals in insufficient/inappropriate quantities. Take $x mi drug to correct yourself!”

Instead of simplified and erroneous medical speak we might as well talk of the cold-turkey-quitter as having cast off a demon from their soul. At least in that framework the individual retains agency.
Why did it disappear from the frontpage?
Thank you for taking the time to go into the details on this! I‘m still sitting on the fence on this issue, because it‘s obviously massively complex and one rarely hears a decently argued take on it (and I don‘t have time to study nuclear engineering and electricity economics). But I think your comment helped me to understand just a little bit more about what‘s involved…
I think it's pretty safe so say it's a double failure. A human abusing other humans is a failure of that first human. If there were other humans, a third party, that were supposed to protect the now-abused humans, then that is also a failure.

Just because there was no law that said "do not be an asshole" doesn't mean that an asshole is any less of an asshole.

Doing it at Bezos-scale makes it a Bezos-scale asshole problem.
If I lived there I'd put up a fake "No entry" sign with an explainer underneath it "This sign valid only for self-driving cars."...

Google Maps shows that at that point it turns to a pedestrian-only road, but WayMo's data is probably not synced...
A massive increase in overall social welfare spending, as a share of GDP, is indeed an strong indication of a move toward a more social democratic economic structure. What contorted theory do you have to come up with to explain how it wouldn't indicate such?

Why ignore statistics and look for an argument from authority?
Heh, first time I’ve seen this. I’m of the opinion that as long as you’re not using something wildly out of place like papyrus or comic sans in a professional setting, it’s not hugely impactful what font you choose. You can spend hours comparing the subtle differences between helvetica and ariel but does it really make a difference?

Also unrelated but the shocked dude in the last pane looks way too much like Elon Musk for my liking.
You're framing this as if it's all about the bounty and Apple just hasn't gotten around to it yet. That's only a small fraction of the story and could easily be forgiven. If I wanted to make Apple look good, I'd focus on that part, but that would be rather biased to ignore the whole picture...

Tokarev discovered 4 iOS 0-days, then reported them all to Apple back in May. After months of Apple's continued refusal to fix or even publicly acknowledge all four of the issues, Tokarev made all of them public on GitHub.

Weeks passed, and now it's today. Apple has yet to fix or publicly acknowledge two of the four security vulnerabilities. That should make Apple look bad because it's some fundamentally irresponsible security practices.

Yes, I'm biased. I'm human, not a computer, and it's stuff like this that makes me biased towards Apple. They should receive negative publicity for this, then they should change how they do things. At the very least, app developers and users should be warned about the two issues that have yet to be fixed.
Branded keywords are not always allowed, and restrictions on those ads are pretty strict.
This is 100% his choice and we should be allowed to get mad if we choose to at his actions and for selfishly stealing from society for personal gain.

I would only blame the government if they forced him to do this. He had free choice.

> The infrastructure interpretation happens at build/deploy time, not at execution time, so there isn't any additional tax.

The service has a pricing page [1] that's non-free after the preview period with specific tiered included limits around execution minutes etc. For example, "$20/user/month for 5,000 minutes of execution time" and some amount of storage.

Is there something I'm missing about that pricing model? What about metered pricing beyond the limits listed? I didn't see that addressed in the FAQ, but perhaps I overlooked it.

Something like an inference server on a cloud instance?
Probably because the 0days have been fixed and the public have received the benefit of the security researcher's report to Apple, but he hasn't received any recognition or compensation through the bounty program via which he reported the vulnerabilities?
>Almost nobody is going to read a government specification

Why is that?

Every company I have worked security in, including where I am at now, regularly reads government guidance. Especially NIST guidance, which is referenced all over the world.
Stellar Open Source Payment Protocol Network Explained
Sure, but it'd be extremely hard to prove if that bias has penetrated that firewall or if it hasn't. I think the reason it has (mostly) worked for journalistic institutions is that it is a profession that are taught a set of ethics as a part of their education and it has a history of adhering to those ethics.

Proving a non-bias for what is your own actual financial interest seems almost impossible. I'm not saying it can't be done ever, but I would not want to have to argue either side of that.

I said this in a comment below but I think it is relevant here too:

Restricting speech is in general hard, what would be much easier is to require clear and obvious disclosure. Since journalistic ethics already requires that it should only require changes for dishonest actors.

EDIT: To clarify: those firewalls are often in the journalistic institutions currently but it becomes a whole other ballgame when something needs to be proven in court. The suggestion to make them legally mandated is where I think we run into problems.

Uh, if your consideration is purely what happens to you, sure. If you have any thought in your mind about what will happen to other people due to your work, then it's nowhere near the same.
Yeah, S3 is very common. Google Cloud Storage interestingly did not use the S3 API, but then added a limited compatibility layer specifically for "Migrating from Amazon S3".
I'm not understanding the grievance here: are you upset that a science publication has a "People & Events" section (not a particularly new phenomenon), or that the contents of an article in that section is a human interest piece about diversity?

One can assume from this requirement that fighting fires is impossible in Europe, and residential buildings are constantly burning to the ground with firefighters standing around, helpless to intervene.

> I wouldn't consider myself a "culture warrior" whatever that means.

I'm suspect you do know what that means, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. The rhetorical style you use here on HN makes you seem to me to be a "culture warrior".

> A culture war is a cultural conflict between social groups and the struggle for dominance of their values, beliefs, and practices. It commonly refers to topics on which there is general societal disagreement and polarization in societal values.
The term is commonly used to describe aspects of contemporary politics in the United States.

You seem (to me) to be more interested in battle than in having a constructive conversation. Maybe I'm reading too much into your comment history, if so let me know, I'm open to feedback. Really I'm just trying to elucidate why you might be catching so many downvotes on this forum.

Are you really grateful, or is this just poor rhetorical style?

In re: "mass downvote" I want to be clear that I didn't downvote comments because they were made by you, I downvoted some comments and then noticed afterwards that several of them were by you.

I guess Sysdig isn't a Y Combinator startup.

I read the entire article thinking it would be a shill, I saw little evidence that it was. In fact, I got to the end and I still don't know what the hell Sysdig is.

If anything, Sysdig fucking sucked at marketing this one, if it was supposed to be a puff piece for the product.

I have actually had a career. But none of my “accomplishments” have surpassed that sensation of being lashed by wind and rain while looking out over a mythical landscape made real. Re-reading the words, I can still sense the rain on my face, feel the umbrella tugging at my hands, see Paris gleaming below me, all these years later. There is my bliss.
Everything in the Bible points to something else. The fig tree mainly points to Revelation, wherein all people not bearing “fruit” in the “season” of the apocalypse, when He is “hungry” only for the righteous, will be judged to “wither away”.

We build stuff out of trees, so I think he straight-up killed that tree to build a parable out of doing it. It was in his sovereignty to uproot what isn’t Good. In the very next paragraph, he does the same by throwing the merchants out of the temple.

His response to his apostles after they mention the dead tree is interesting. It seems like he ignores them to explain that if they pray about anything, it will happen if they believe it. I think this has something to do with 1) the role of faith in avoiding the tree’s fate so that they may be bear the fruit no matter how impossible it seems since it was “not the season for bearing fruit”, or 2) a picture of the reality of the Kingdom after the harvest, where the Good will have reign to move mountains.

Proofs blossom like trees from epistemic axioms. It’s confounding to believe “Christ is perfect”, but it does bear fruit, however confounding it is. Theology isn’t popularly known, but it’s there if you’re curious.
I know that Germany already invested quite a bit in wind and solar energy. I wonder if Germany, being a rich, progressive, social country, simply side-step all the criticism like what is on this thread by issuing a moratorium on all the existing nuclear reactors - say 6 months, and invest completely in solar and wind over the 6 months to add capacity?

Germany’s geo location makes it possible to be part of the EU power grid sharing the renewable power across neighbours to make it all work. The political cost of such a drastic measure would actually be a nett positive in a country like Germany I hope.

If only politicians stop thinking short term and be the leaders they are expected to be …
Don't believe what, exactly? 0 emissions in 7 years, or else what? Even if we get to 20 years and nothing has yet happened, this could still stand. There is no proposition or prediction.
That business card should have been in comic sans.
A time period of one year is too short to draw trend conclusions, it really doesn't tell us anything about the (long term) trend. It's like using the weather from last year and comparing it to this year to say something about the climate. Look at 5 years or 10 years to spot energy trends.
Sorry, I meant 10 seconds there. Fixed it.

And while s2deep does help a lot, it's still pretty far from perfect - certainly not the kind of sleep you'd get from a recent MacBook.
A more accurate and only slightly more complex process for this is to generate numerical text representations of the desired test waveforms and then feed them through sox to get actual wave files. The numerical text representations are likely even easier to generate programmatically than the ascii->audio transformation.
