Groovy is absolutely phenomenal for scripting. Optionally typed, has the entire Java ecosystem of libraries available (with no extra download or build files neccessary), very good IDE support, mature, extremely rich common library, great performance.

I've built entire prototypes in Groovy at amazing speeds and then gradually replaced individual files with Java/Kotlin code and made sure the entire thing still worked. When I had grabbed everything of value I copied the resulting Java/Kotlin files to the real codebase and deleted the prototype. I could've left them in Groovy, too, as it is quite performant enough, alas customers preferred Java/Kotlin.
Sure, but the article makes it seem that this is a thing done in a wild on a mass scale which is implausible.

Also, in X terminology, the server owns/controls the display, the client is the app that wants to draw a window on the server’s display. The classic architecture would be client telling server what to draw, but these days what really happens is that clients draw locally into a buffer and then tell X server to draw the contents of the buffer.
My assumption is that what they have full control over is the admin/CRUD interface that is on top of the database that their malware is feeding. They tightly control the access to that data which is probably encrypted on the target device. That admin interface probably also is where the targeting is done so they could easily put anything they don't want targeted behind a disallow-list.
It's not just the US and UK supporting Saudi Arabia (and other Middle Eastern dictatorships like the UAE), but pretty much all of the EU as well. Look at the sort of military tech they're able to get quite easily from Germany (despite the occasional temporary freeze after bad press, later quietly lifted), France, the Netherlands, Belgium, etc.

It's all geopolitics in the end, and Saudi Arabia not only has influence by virtue of controlling so much of the world's energy supply but because it's a relatively stable and consistent power and its regional aims are in line with the US and Europe's desired strategic outcomes.

There isn't a single European government that would rather Saudi Arabia be a democratic country right now.

Russia, China, and others aren't any different.

I don't understand. Yes, many of the vaccine effectiveness studies are limited by the window of time they use. That's a separate issue from vaccines being redundant for previously infected people. Studies show that previously infected people still benefit from vaccination.

Installers for older versions are becoming increasingly elusive, I've found. Anything newer than Kindle for PC v1.26 and DeDRM can't break the encryption. Installers for v1.17 or v1.19 can still be found, but on Linux those versions can't connect to Amazon because one of the SSL certs used by the app has expired.

That leaves v1.21 as the "sweet spot", but most of the sites that used to host that installer EXE have mysteriously disappeared.
I would argue that the State is an unbeatable amplifier of any human flaws its leaders may have.

It's due both to the fact that there is nothing above to supervise (the State is an ultimate authority, with nothing, not even other state, above) and that pretty much every controversial decision is taken in the name and for the good of - The People - an abstract concept even more divorced from reality.

Apologies for the late response. I was joking actually, we really do have a major surplus of hardware, but the prices we pay are insane, and have always been so. I built my PC back in 2015 and paid about two times more what I would have paid if I lived in the US.

I ordered a lot of stuff from the US throughout the years. It takes at least a month to get here, and shipping costs from $50 (for the smallest items like Kindles), to $150-200.

So it's not really practical.

Looking at retail:

— the cheapest 3080 Ti 12GB I see is around $2500, the most expensive one is $3200 (there are 10 models in total).

— PS5: from $1000 to $1350

— 3080: from $2000 and up.

If you have the right connections you can get them individually with bulk prices, but it's not easy to do because of pervasive corruption.

It's weird to see so much praise for ME2 everywhere. I hated the game after ME1. There's basically no main plot. 90% of it is side quests to flesh out side characters. Which, fine, I see why people enjoyed so much, but it felt so pointless to me because the main plot boils down to "throw all these people at a final base and see who makes it out alive". I wanted to see the ME story moved forward, but it took until ME3 before that actually happened.
I fear this will create another echo chamber, of students having controversial opinions on certain topics such as gender studies, evolutionary psychology etc. Also a stigma with going to this university might be too strong. Imagine being a young male student and telling people at the party you are attending this university. I am pretty sure in the future it would be like telling people you vote for Donald Trump.

If I were to choose university in the USA I would select one from the FIRE list [0] that are certified pro-freedom of speech / research but don't have such a big stigma. University of Chicago might be good, altough I am not based in USA so I don't know if there is stigma I'm describing connected to UoC

Why is academic freedom seen as political balance when conservatives discuss it?

Perhaps I'm unaware of liberals using the same approach.

I view academic freedom as the freedom to look into questions or hold alternate viewpoints that are supportable. Regardless of affiliation, IMO political beliefs aren't typically data driven, and when the data goes the wrong way people tend to exercise apologetics instead of intellectual honesty.
To be clear, an index is compression agnostic, it's the uncompressed value that will appear in the index, or the value selected e.g. bigJsonbDoc->>'email' is that right?
Absolutely, you are right about the distance. But the thing is, I think risk is not measured in meters.

The question more is what made sure that the airplane didn't re-contact the skydivers. When an airplane after the drop flies on straight and steady you know that they wont hit the skydivers because the skydivers have no propulsion and relatively lot of drag. The skydivers will lose horizontal speed quickly and gain vertical speed downwards even quicker. This basically guarantees that the separation between the squishy humans and the airplane will be maintained.

With the spinning airplane staying close to the divers who knows. Maybe the pilot is an ACE and they kept a mental model of the parachutist's position relative to theirs at all times. Maybe what appears to us as uncontrolled tumbling is anything but. Or maybe it was just up to "luck".
It's far too kind an explanation to assume they don't.
The ranking criteria of this list make it very unrepresentative of compressors used in the real world. The benchmark they’re using for example is the sum of the compressed file plus the compressor binary: this penalizes memorization of the evaluation text in the compressor binary itself. But in the real world, you would have no concerns at all that your compressor is “cheating” by working too well only for your particular data — having useful priors that model real-world data for more compact representations is the whole point. Many of these algorithms are also impractical due to speed or memory use. Ask yourself: How many of the top-10 algorithms do you have installed right now, or even recognize? The winners aren’t dominating outside the arena of this list.

I’m also not an expert in symbolic AI — my comment above is more about neural vs. pre-neural NLP methods, rather than symbolic AI, which I admit drifts a bit from the parent. A compressor replacing word tokens with dictionary indices is definitely symbolic but it’s not especially “AI”.
He’d probably also have been equally disgusted at what “free speech” manifested as.
I don't know which way the OP intended the "play the game" sentence, but I didn't take it to mean go work for Facebook or whatever; instead I took it as don't be naive in thinking you can fight against injustices in the system like so, because it will land you in prison (or worse); instead maybe find alternative ways that let you accomplish the same end goal, even if you have to accept progress cannot be achieved as quickly as the direct unsafe approach.
Thus, I salute Durov.
It sounds like the OPs method not only allows people to shine by diving into what they've built, but it would also filter out people like yourself, who are so unbelievably sensitive that it would be a nightmare to work around all of your triggers.
For a long time I am considering anything coming out of F an anti-pattern and an example of bad engineering.
On the other hand, the nature of Apple’s BDFL ownership means that they could very easily add a permission prompt in an iOS release, allowing them to default to disabled, then tell app developers to update their code or go to hell. They’ve done it before with other APIs.

In fact they’ve already done this on the web: the DeviceMotion API is behind a permission prompt. I’m surprised the same isn’t the case for apps.
One problem is that the command `readlink —f` isn’t portable, to macOS for example, and there’s not really a satisfying solution.

>That is quite misleading to a vast amount of people without tech background.

Not as misleading and potentially harmful as saying "Telegram is encrypted" as a blanket statement, because:
1. as I said, the client-to-server encryption is not noteworthy (almost everything has that) and it shouldn't be enough for privacy-conscious people.
2. even though Telegram does offer some e2e encryption too, its availability is quite limited and not representative of the typical Telegram usage.

Sure, I was being too dismissive there.
But I don't like how Telegram gets brought up as a "private messenger", in the same context as fully e2e-encrypted messengers like Signal or even Whatsapp.

For all intents and purposes, Telegram is more similar to apps like Discord or Slack, seeing how most of the comms can be read by anyone who has access to the server. And Telegram can only be used with a phone number, so in terms of anonymity it's even worse than those.

Well, Facebook do use accelerometer for 360 panorama view.
Could be as simple and they initialise coroMotion when the app becomes active in order to have their render react without a new initialisation each time?
From what I’ve passively observed about Bari Weiss, she’s all over the map. I’m also inclined to allow people to be young and change their minds and grow into their real values or beliefs without holding their feet to the fire about anything they’ve ever said.

Even at my most charitable, though, I’m skeptical of anyone talking about pursuing truth. It’s interesting they mention Plato. What I gleaned from The Republic at a young age, and I still believe, is that the nature of truth is tricky, truth is elusive. I’ve seen that pinning down a consensus on truth is practically impossible even when everyone is coming from a position of good faith.

There is definitely a problem with universities, and a big part of our population at large, that abandons free speech and thought.
Step counting may be implemented in hardware so the main CPU doesn't have to continuously stream & process the accelerometer's data.
WhatsApp does that too now, even on the web.

Signal has a desktop client as well (no web one, unfortunately) – I also haven't seen any hiccups there.

Yes, this is 10 or 100 times more complicated to get right when using end-to-end encryption, but it's clearly doable, and Telegram has finally been proven wrong empirically about there being a dilemma of security vs. usability in messaging.

Yes, they still lead the field in usability, but the encrypted competition is past the hard cryptographic hurdles, allowing them to focus on the front end.
> This is an assembler instruction that reads the "Cycle Counter" value from your CPU."

It did that ~10 years ago. On modern CPUs however, that instruction reads a counter which grows at the stock frequency of the CPU (e.g. at 3.6GHz for Ryzen 5 3600), regardless of frequency scaling of any of the cores.

The app could figure out who you are traveling with (two phones with roughly the same accelerometer data at the same time).

You're being downvoted because you're not contributing anything at all to the discussion. It's a lowest of the low effort sort of comment. If we tolerated that then, by the very nature of requiring little effort, they would quickly drown out substantive comments.

Again, there isn't enough details to go beyond speculation.

The only thing that seems clear-ish is that IGR considered that the device belonged to them according to their actions as described. If so it is very reasonable that they be held to account.

This does not mean that there aren't other responsibilities or that officials/the government tried to cover their asses later on. The Wikipedia article does mention, though that the National Nuclear Energy Commission ended up being ordered to pay compensation to the victims, which at face value sounds like an acknowledgement that they also bore some responsibility.

It also says that the thieves were not involved in the civil suit without mention of anything else. This may be an important point because the goal of a civil suit is to get money so there may be little point in suing poor people... They are obviously guilty of theft (criminal), and damage to property (criminal and civil), beyond that it's quite unclear and they did pay a heavy price.

>I have a feeling the next few decades of research will make us realize how horrible our diets are.

That data is in already. We know it's terrible but how do you change? Sugar is tremendously addictive. If you quit pop and other super sugary things, you'll end up compensating and eating more sugar in a different way.

Even if you do a really good job and only allow sugar through say dairy. Which has lesser sugar and different kind. You'll end up eating cheese all day long.

Worse yet, we have had propaganda from the governments pushing pro-sugar anti-fat diets on us for longer than ive been alive.

Even worse yet, we only have about 40 years left of regular agriculture. http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2015/ph240/verso2/

If our intention is to keep the current diet going... we're going to need vertical factory farming or something.
Another big cost of garbage collection is memory usage: it's not uncommon for a high-performance GC to require 2x-3x the memory for the same application compared to non-GC. For games this is not trivial given how heavy some of the assets are.
And? So what? Everyone else does it. The US does surveillance. The UK does. Germany and France do it. The Saudis do it. The Jordanians do it. China and Japan do it. And many more... But when Jews do it... Well, that's a big problem. Jews can't do anything without the world crying "Evil!".
yeah, it has been like this for millennia.
Regardless of whether the sickness is real, it is amazing these things can be built next to people's houses without just compensation. Simply the non stop noise would be more than enough to ensure you could never sell your house for even half of what you paid for it.
It’s also worth remembering that Aaron Swartz was driven to near bankruptcy and facing prison time over a victimless crime that in the greater scheme of things seems quite trivial.

The prosecutors, Stephen Heymann and Carmen Ortiz, used their discretion to play hardball and this in no small part played a role in his decision to take his own life.

On the plus side, however, it appears their abuses of power more or less ended their careers. Heymann has not updated his LinkedIn in almost a decade and Ortiz’s ambitions to become governor of Massachusetts were squashed.
I've received them unsolicited in batches. I think there are training camps that show people how to this (spot debatable configs that I may chosen intentionally) and ask for money. Haven't seen anything exploitable.
You can learn go in a week, and be proficient quickly. You will find you can read pretty much any go code written by anyone. The source to everything is available.

Rust is more like c++. It contains not-so-easy concepts dealing with memory that require different approaches. It will take 6 months or more to get there.
The web has a DeviceMotion API that provides such higher level data:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DeviceMotio...

Originally it wasn’t behind a permission prompt so you could do the little design flourishes the OP described. But now you have to request access. Orientation change events (i.e. portrait to landscape) remains accessible without permissions, though.
Hopefully at least some of them will understand the technical details about Telegram's security models and decline.
I really wish y'all would stop with the absolutes and sweeping generalizations. It's truly exhausting.

None of the games or categories I listed are any more clear or deceptive about their mechanisms than any other game. I listed incrementals, but those often don't turn out the way you expect, because most of the mechanisms are hidden until you unlock them, so no, they are not "clear" about what they are upfront. I did not list FPSs, which definitely come with a mechanics expectation, and yet there are a mountain of different FPS mechanisms across many game styles.

If you make an assumption about a game, and that assumption turns out to be false -- or you just plain didn't enjoy the game -- it's a hell of a leap to automatically assume that the developer intentionally deceived you with malicious intent. Sometimes you just don't like a game, and that's okay.
