Non Technical (IT & Infrastructure) people making technical decisions is what may destroy the pentagon if you ask me.

Fraud and waste is always a concern in Government operations, but if you take a real look at who is leading decision making, people in those positions (including in private companies) are often completely unaware of the impacts of their decisions, while their advisory staff is often a team of people from a private (shareholder owned) company focused on billing their clients advantageously at every opportunity they get, and providing advice that maintains a "constant stream of revenue".

It's not technology we need to fix first, it's the lack of integrity and the focus on opportunistic profit applied to the vary basis of the organization. The method in which contracts are managed, administered, and regulated needs a major overhaul to address the changing landscape of business.

Many mission-critical manufacturing and information service operations that the military runs simply should not ever rely (in any way) on privately owned and profit/shareholder-driven companies because it breaks integrity and accountability.

If you look at DAW and plug-in offerings they have a lot of these in digital format. But you’re right about having actual physical controls is very different. And I do think there will be a completely custom audio interface/keyboard/synth in the next couple of years (this is a side project of mine).
Equating cost with environmental friendliness might not be the best thing to do because this exactly fails in systems where externalities are not priced in yet.

Maybe there is a small list of "fundamental simple quadrilaterals" and any other simple quadrilaterals can be obtained by transforming elements from this small list. Maybe it is possible to find an expression to quickly calculate the number of simple quadrilaterals from the initial fundamental list.

Or, maybe Q(m, n) can be calculated as a function of Q(m - 1, n), Q(m, n - 1) and Q(m - 1, n - 1). But calculating Q(m, n) may not be that important, maybe finding its factors is! So, all you have to do is to find the factors of Q(m, n) and then calculate a rest of division. So, maybe it is possible to find Q(m, n) mod x as a function of Q(m - 1, n), Q(m, n - 1) and Q(m - 1, n - 1). If this can be found, the problem becomes trivial.

Note that if we don't have to care about lines crossing, calculating Q(m + 1, n), Q(m, n + 1) and Q(m + 1, n + 1) as a function of Q(m, n) maybe easy. All that needs to be done is to find an expression for these that take line crossing into account, then use this expression to calculate a rest of division.
Weirdest bug I saw was OTRS getting slow at the end of the month. It was weird, no pressure on the DB or the server, it would get slow with barely any users and then suddenly it would work really fast with no change.

After a wild goose chase I saw one of the servers took too long to authenticate SSH than the other when the problem happend, turns out, the only difference between the 2 was one of them had a reference to a domain and the other did not.

From this clue I checked there was an internal AD server that was getting called by its domain name on every page call of OTRS. When that DNS server got slow, each page got slow, switching to direct IP fixed it. DNS getting slow on an internal system is wayy down on most people's lists if it even exists..

When I was a child you exchanged the coke bottles at the grocery store. This decreases the footprint of the glass because you were going to the store anyway. If the distributor also transports the empties back on the same vehicle, then the footprint is mostly down to the production side - a bottle of Coke costs what a bottle Coke costs.

Leibniz was born one and a half century before Babbage and nearly two and a half century before Russel and Turing.

Are there resources on the impact of Keybase being bought by Zoom?
Zoom is out of question too because they discourage e2e and darkpattern you into installing their software despite browser compatibility and because they darkpattern you into giving cam/mic access just to listen to a broadcast-only session even if unnecessary. They place their own controlled device toggles as source of truth instead of those by the browser UI and fail in weird ways if you toggle in-browser.
(Same for almost all other similar software as well)

I tossed them without a second thought after they annoyed me with Stellar. Nobody uses Stellar if they dont have a hidden incentive. It always had a huge forced marketing vibe.

Is there some sucessor to keybase?

(Motivation disclaimer: I want to dump on Keybase because in the end, even with flawless crypto at first, those organizations always erode the good things down to centralized with platform control again.)

Counter suggestion: make fcc regulate iot, whenever a person's appliance enters a botnet, suspend his connection until said appliance is removed and fine the person if the device wasn't fcc aproved.

Very different. Hasselblad was a top choice for the pro market (and used by rich amateurs, like Leica), Minolta never really managed to breach that market (this camera was the most significant attempt).
Like others here, I'm a big fan of restic. I use it to backup to backblaze B2, and have systemd timer units to run it daily. I use it with pass (https://www.passwordstore.org/) for secrets management, my wrapper script is at https://github.com/wfleming/dotfiles/blob/arch-linux/home_no... if it's useful for anyone.

I don't think base + offset would have worked because then references would have to be codegen'd differently depending on whether they're in a future or not; this would have impacted separate compilation as you can pass references to other functions (including across FFI). Relocations only work at load time (either dynamic linking or link time), so they wouldn't work. Limiting what can be captured was tried with the old futures crate and it was a real nuisance. Boxed futures violate the zero-cost abstractions principle, which is the reason why many Rust users are using the language in the first place.

Can't help but wonder... You're supposed to reduce, reuse, recycle, in that order.

The current regime has the most pernicious impact on books as opposed to movies.

For the most part Disney has done a good job with Marvel films, and one can easily find many "arthouse" films which are just awful.

Yet, for an author, the real money is in the film rights. If they are commercially motivated, the books themselves are an afterthought.
> LEDs tend to strobe

So this friend of mine, peak performance oriented and into brain science, approached neurobiofeedback as part of it. He visited professionals who used an electroencephalograph for the purpose. The technician told him that recently they could not make it work properly, at apparently random times, and had to carry on diagnostic in the typical perplexing mystery. Turned out that when the artificial lights were on, suddenly, the EEG misbehaved, since a number of days. And exactly, since he placed LED lightbulbs in the lamp. They created interference with the EEG equipment.

Lightbulbs that interfere with the functioning of an EEG...

Hint and advice: to assess the "strobing" property of those LED lamps, look at them through a camera, such as that of a mobile phone: you will see different rates of flicker which will help assessing the product quality.
We make trade offs between hardware and software all the time, the fact is you must rely on unstable software if hardware requires it. I can’t think of a better example than iOS devices or the M1 (pro) and lack of choice in OS, if you want to run Linux on M1 say goodbye to the GPU and various benefits.

Unless your only platform is embedded software which this occurs less on, it’s impossible to realistically expect to never run unstable software. I’m going to guess most consumer computation is running hundreds if not thousands of JavaScript VMs on their devices every hour.
You really can't.
The point is well-designed contracts don't need many breaking changes in the first place.

As a corollary, badly designed software are more likely to require breaking changes.

Same applies to badly managed software, where compatibility is broken inconsiderately, wasting people's time.

> Your SSH public key is really the least of your identifiable information you’d be worried about

I disagree. The article points to simplifications that SSH did compared to GPG, like no web of trust.

But there's now something very close to one, a bit hidden though: SSHFP + DNSSEC

I think a lot of people here may not be familiar with SSHFP records, so check https://fanf.livejournal.com/130577.html for a more detailed explanation.

It's more or less a work around the problem of initially trusting a key, by using SSHFP records to verify that the server keys are validated by the domain, with DNSSEC validating the whole thing.

When you can match server keys to domains and user keys to github users, you are just one link away from having a global picture of the web of trust.

EDIT: and I wonder how feasible it would be to do just that with a sniff of the initial handshake

> because that’s the easiest to create a unique key for GitHub

And how many people do you think have done that, instead of uploading the keys of the servers/laptops/etc. they use?

I hate to say this, but Bitcoin did it right: by having a discardable private+public pair of keys derived from a seed key, it prevents leaks of information by correlation based on the public key.
I think of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as the oldest set of franchise characters and I'm amazed at how many movies have been made from Les Liases Dangereuses.

Even if you had different keys to different services, you'd never revoke just one of those keys. If you're revoking a key because your client device was compromised: well, your other service keys on the same device are compromised too. If you're revoking a key because you regularly rotate your keys every 6 months: well, you're revoking all those other keys from all those other services at around the same frequency, separate service keys aren't helping you revoke less.

There's never a practical scenario where you'd just revoke one service-client key-pair while the other service-client key-pairs are totally safe. Imagine your GitHub-specific private key was compromised somehow - a private key that has never left your laptop that also stores private keys for all your other services - do you think it's safe to only revoke your GitHub-specific key?
Few points:

a) people like having the original thing, even if it can be replicated. (I think this generalizes fairly far across musical instruments, old ones are always coveted by some, and into many different topics)

b) Limitations of the circuitry etc that affect the sound can be surprisingly hard to precisely simulate. For cult machines that's probably something someone has done, but it's a lot of work.

c) as you said, physical interfaces are important, as are the restrictions of what an instrument can't do the guide where people go with it

d) people will fight tooth and nail about b) and if a specific simulation is good or not - and often you can assume that the range of how the originals sound is actually also quite large (especially now, with the components having aged a few decades), so you'll always find someone who is sure the software doesn't sound exactly like the one specific device they compare it to.

Having a global switch to switch the program over to async only works if all your concurrency primitives are aware of it: e.g. mutexes. Otherwise you get deadlocks. But Rust is designed to work with raw OS concurrency primitives. So that solution isn't available.

I don't think the author necessarily meant 'tweets' when using the word 'pitches', given the following:

>two of which they would want expanded and fleshed out or even fully scripted, for $200.
>he came up with the modern concept now known as energy, which he called vis viva

I forgot that, but crediting relativity and nuclear physics to Conservation Of Energy still feels like a big stretch to me. Maybe Thermodynamics.

>he didn't have a mechanistic view of logic, he invented the concept of possible worlds

I'm not sure I understand why those two things contradict each other. He envisioned a machine doing reasoning, that's a "mechanistic view of logic" in my book. How is possible worlds related to that and why are they in tension in your opinion ?

>charachteristica universalis and his introduction of binary formalization

Fair enough, those two things are fairly radical for his time and very CSy. But neither is original to him, his charachteristica universalis is based on a misunderstanding of chinese ideographs, and there were people contemporary to him like John Wilkins who worked on very similar things ('philosophical languages'), the idea was in the air at the time.

The binary numerals were also inspired by certain chinese texts, and some claim[1] that he plagiarised them outright from contemporaries. All said and done though, I don't think binary numbers are that important or fundamental to computers, only the idea that numbers (and abstract ideas in general) can be operated on purely syntactically without the slightest clue as to their meaning, and still yield useful results; This is an idea much older than Leibniz. Also Babbage managed to design a perfectly good computer on base-10, and binary was just one system among many in the 1940s.

Not possible for the same reasons why just adding a borrow checker to C++ isn't possible. Mostly this comes down to incompatibility with existing code. Zig is just not memory safe, and the only solution would be to add a GC.
> society just pushes us to assume that even the tiniest pang of hunger is a negative health issue

This is the mistake. In fact, the hunger pangs and light headedness, nausea, etc. are the result of low blood sugar. This can be a dangerous condition, but our body is equipped to deal with that situation - it can create sufficient energy from stored energy (fat and glycogen) - and will do so if we let it. But most people have conditioned their bodies for a steady supply of easy energy, and this makes the body increasingly less willing to go to the stores for energy (we are at a hormonal imbalance with excessive insulin prevalence which works to lock up fat stores and crave quick increases in blood sugar).

This condition can be gradually fixed with intermittent fasting, which gives the body time to burn off the blood sugar spike, and concomitant insulin, and allow the process of fat burning to pick up, before you start feeding again.

The effect of the fasting can be enhanced by eating fewer carbohydrates (which are the main trigger for blood sugar and insulin), which is the principle behind the keto diet.

From the article:

> "That's enormously important," says Tom Jenkins, who says that around three quarters of Europeans don't have passports, since they can travel around Europe with their ID cards.

Don't know how true this is though.
>Most EE immigrants did not get British citizenship because there was no need for them to bother.

"Need" in what way? Sure they didn't need it to live and work there, but traveling with a British Passport gives you way more liberties abroad and less discrimination than some EE ones (I lost count on how often police, public and private institutions in Western Europe would treat me like shit when I showed my EE ID vs my friends with Western nationalities).

And since getting a British Passport is basically a ruber stamp once you satisfy all conditions (which are very simple to meet) and it doesn't force you to renounce your existing nationality like some other countries do, most got it as their second passport.

I think a lot of people underestimate the value of having a powerful passport and what a difference that can make on your experience as a foreigner abroad (and inland as well).

Let's run the numbers. I believe Climeworks' Orca is the largest DAC plant right now, and they claim it'll capture 4000 tons/year. We currently emit something like 40 gigatons/yr. (4*10^10)/(4*10^3) = 10^7 DAC plants. So let's say that DAC isn't a silver bullet :-) There are a whole portfolio of other carbon capture and sequestration technologies that'll be needed to get us carbon-negative enough to avoid going over +2 degrees C.

Of course, by the time we have spare fusion power, that'll also have replaced much of those 40 gigatons, and Orca is certainly not the upper limit in terms of scale.
It obviates the unit circle and more importantly, for split complex numbers, you’ll have j*conjugate(j) = -1 and the -1 obviates the connection between split-complex numbers and reflection.

Google had been working on Android for years and released the first version two years before Sun was acquired by Oracle. The whole decade long lawsuit could have been avoided if they spend five minutes talking with the people who created and managed Java early on.

Google never showed any interest in being a member of the Java community with or without Oracle.

I agree that this one isn't about async Rust at all. The main comparison is drawn in

> And then fast forward a few years and you have an entire language ecosystem built on top of the idea of making these Future objects that actually have a load of closures inside

And this sentence is wrong. There's next to no `Future` implementations which are built on top of callbacks. And the reason why that's the way it is is exactly the one the author mentions: Callbacks don't work very well with Rusts ownership model.
I'd a point and shoot, minolta dimage x31. I loved it! It was early to have an SD-card which meant that I could film more than 5 seconds (until RAM is full) because it was fast enough to save to the SD card while filming. It also had an internal optical focus which meant no (few) moving parts on the outside.
