PRNGs are not good mixers because they're not designed to be.

- A PRNG takes a pseudo-random state and produces another pseudo-random state

- A mixer takes possibly correlated inputs and must produce outputs as uncorrelated as possible.

I've actually experimented with using xorshift variants as mixers and they fail the basic statistical tests.
The mandated fee-cap introduced a few years ago has (or rather should have) curbed the view that overdraft fees are a cost centre. Banks are extremely proactive now, as soon as there is a hint you'll go in the red they'll ping you in a bunch of ways and remind you of what you can and cannot do; so I wouldn't exclude that some (or all) might now refuse to complete purchases when it would push you too deep into unarranged territory, because they cannot charge you more than a fixed amount, so it would become basically a free loan.

Can you cancel using the same medium you subscribed? That's the topic of the thread, not the current quality of the content.
Oh, do books print the text in color now?
Yeah, this is what I meant, except it goes in all directions. It’s not stating a “false equivalence” because pointing out that you can draw a line between 0 and 100 isn’t stating an equivalence.

Different risk profiles exist. There’s a difference between installing whatever from wherever, installing a relatively well known project but with only one or two Actually Trusted maintainers, and installing a high profile well maintained project with corporate backing.

This is true in Linux land, and it’s true in npm land. You can’t just add whatever repo and apt get to your hearts content. Or, you know, you also can, depending on your tolerance for risk.
You seriously link wikipedia, that simply sides with the numbers of those angered by Chick attempting to convert some of their own, as an authoritative source on Chick Tracts?

To answer your question, obviously the ultimate authority on Popery would be Popes themselves. That link serves as a quick refresher on a) why Jesuits are the butt of so many conspiracy theories b) why they are "the interesting bit of Catholicism", for most content there is somehow related to them. Albeit one could also argue that clearly they aren't the only interesting bit, for all of it isn't related to them.

Edit: There's actually a category dedicated to Jesuits, but it has surprisingly few articles, presumably because they decided to give Alberto Rivera his own category. So multiple categories treat them nevertheless.
I have wanted to cancel WSJ for over a year now but their process kept me from doing it. I started a few times and then was like I really don't have time for this nonsense right now. I wonder if I do it now if I can get my subscription fees refunded.

Note that this only applies to UK payments to EU companies. It would not apply to almost any Amazon purchases as they are usually from Amazon UK.
I see this sentiment a lot, but it's always worked perfectly for me. The device connection is very impressive, and it even supports MPRIS on Linux.

I find it even easier to use than Netflix (and there's no DRM limitations like Netflix). The only thing I dislike are the changes to the UI due to adding podcasts now, and how many clicks it can take to find a specific older, unpopular album in an artist's discography.

But just the fact that it supports Linux and has all the music I listen to, really makes it a no-brainer in terms of maintaining a subscription.

People scream for lots of reasons. I could argue that being murdered is the least likely reason for someone to be screaming. Some legal systems err or the side of "innocent until proven guilty" but you're leaving the last part off, "beyond a reasonable doubt". There's no need to establish a motive for a crime. I believe it may strengthen the case against you but it's not like you can get off for committing a crime just because they couldn't establish a good reason for you to have done it. "So, Mr. Chayote, why did drop that anvil on my client's head, Mr. Roadrunner?", "No reason, that's just what I do", "Case dismissed due to lack of motive!"
I'd call that a “dark pattern in the physical world”.
Several times, I've seen that the easiest way to cancel was to block the payment. Your subscription won't last long if you don't pay.

I guess that in theory, they could sue, but not only it is a small sum, they also probaby don't want to expose their dark patterns to a court of law.
It’s an interesting take, and a decent attempt at “oral history”.

Not quite. Now the business can send you to collections.
Nope, for various legacy reasons you kinda need to be an citizen to receive one. Initially the banks issued and used it (hence the name) before the Tax Office adopted it. After a while the unemployment and social security office started adopting it.

Those uses were mostly fairly specific to citizen needs but in the past couple of years municipalies started using them for child care (where temporary expats definitely often need to get in touch) and soon after as the providers started looking for commercial clients the usage exploded everywhere in society and now it's starting to become really annoying/hard to live without one.
This kind of practice isn't only in the comms industry. I had a gym membership back when I lived in NYC. Called them up one day, got a membership within just a few minutes over the phone.

A few years later when I moved, I called to tell them I'd have to cancel. I had forgotten to cancel before I moved, so I was already in another state (Florida). They told me I had to come into the gym physically to cancel, even when I told them I had already moved.

I called several times, asking everyone including the manager to just let me cancel over the phone. I remember saying "ok so you're telling me I have to literally fly to NYC just to cancel my membership with you?" And they said "I'm sorry sir, that's our policy." After a week or so, I threatened them with a lawsuit, and then they complied.

Literally none of my immediate family has gotten the vaccine. I know several more people who haven't gotten it. I have been reading Scott since around 2015. I would say I sit in an interesting intersection of worlds for this issue.

While the facts of the metaphor are slightly off, I think Scott got the emotional feeling exactly correct. There are hostile aliens who actively gone against my interests in the past, they have been wrong before, their is a good chance they could use this for their own gain.

"... but they are judged for their good taste by their ability to separate the pieces according to the group's criteria."

On this we disagree. I think the students can do the sorting without peer pressure, driven only by their innate perception and love of the specific genre.

If we enforce this by making the selection process completely anonymous? Do you still feel the students will still feel judged for their taste?

Many animals have more nasal sensor than humans do; but even those with much less pay more attention to their sense of smell than almost any human can.

I would take a very different stance on what caused stories of the darker sides of humanity to flourish after the end of WW2. From what I understand, the cultural trauma of the horrors of WW2 were a big factor, and the cold war’s ever looming threat of global nuclear war comes up often in people describing the zeitgeist of the era. I don’t think the media about the darker sides of humanity came from peace, but from that direct exposure to what the darker sides of humanity can be at country-wide scales.

Art can also be a description of what humanity should work towards. In this way a well written book that is hopeful need not be a false hope, but a showing of what humanity should work towards. Without having that goal of a better future, it is inevitable that we would fall towards dystopia.

If you are interested in "Haskell, but with a nicer standard library", Idris 2 might actually be an interesting choice. The Idris 2 prelude very much feels like a cleaned-up version of the Haskell prelude, and all the fancy dependent and quantitative type stuff is mostly "opt-in".

For example, in Idris 2, the `[ foo | x <- bar ]` syntax is not just a "list comprehension", but a "monad comprehension", and `map` is not specialized for lists but it is actually what `fmap` is in Haskell. There is also other interesting shorthand syntax like `!foo` which is equivalent to something like `do x <- foo ; x`.

The fact that it compiles to Chez Scheme and has a fairly easy-to-use FFI is even nicer.

Would I deploy it in production yet? No. But the language is trying to be fundamentally practical and user-friendly while still being dependently- and quantitatively-typed. And in my opinion, it's succeeding so far! It also has a language server, so you can get advanced interactive editing features in pretty much any code editor that supports LSP.

Oh, and there's no `return` in Idris 2, only `pure` :)
So in summary this leverages ICMP redirects as the side channel attack. That seems fairly straight forward to mitigate, by disabling ICMP redirects. I believe this is already a common practice by anyone following the current CIS and/or NIST guidelines and benchmarks.

I’ll let somebody more experienced to chime in on cmake and organizing c++ project builds, but vscode has decent built in shell where you could just run the commands you need without leaving the ide.

There’s way less philosophy to vscode than to emacs, i would suggest using it as dumb editor for a while and explore how various extensions make your life easier. If they don’t - maybe you just got your eMacs config right and should stick to it :)
> Instead of open-sourcing Windows and treating it as open technology something the Cloud group would love they still jealously guard it as proprietary.

Ignoring the question how much revenue they'd lose from such a move I don't think they could easily.

Windows doesn't consist only of Microsoft's code, but there is the whole legacy with OS/2, DEC/VMS and certainly a bunch of external companies contributing device drivers and things. I assume there are notable parts where Microsoft can't easily figure this out anymore. Code was moved and changed over time and for open sourcing they have to be sure about each line being ok to open source.

Look at Sun's process for opensourcing Solaris and where even OpenSolaris still had some binary blobs in some parts in the end after they went through the multi year process of going through it and rewriting different parts.

>It should come as even more of a surprise to find "Jeff Dean"

To find them, yes. To point out that they exist and the likely that you'll work with them is statistically insignificant? No.

The thing with intellectual labour is that some insights have immeasurable value. Some statistical outliers have such humongous intellectual capabilities that it's ridiculous how often they'll have great insights.

Of course, that won't stop people from trying to attach some numbers to it, even if their numbers are epistemologically shit.
I think microsoft is in the right here. They own that search box, just like how google owns firefox + ios + android + chrome + safari. Giving the windows box to google would be reducing competition overall, which is sorely needed in the search space. Superficially it appears to reduce user choice, but we know that on the whole that's not true.

Just a week or two ago, a malicious NPM package was published which, for the hour or so that it was up, would be pulled in by any installation of create-react-app, since somewhere in the dependency tree it was specified with “^” to allow for minor updates.

Any machine that ran “npm -i” with CRA or who knows how many other projects during that hour may have compromised credentials.

1 hour to find and unpublish the malicious package is a fast turnaround time, so someone was watching and that’s great. But any NPM tree that includes anything other than fully-specified and locked versions all the way down the tree is just waiting for the next shoe to drop.
> If it turns out that Types really are the way forward, then these will eventually be included in the JS core.

Not necessarily? TypeScript could easily continue being its own thing as it is now, and ECMAScript have shown absolutely 0 interest in adding types to the core language a-la TypeScript. Infact, the amount of work needed to enable types (supporting new syntax) would result in so much backwards compatibility breaking that it wouldn't even be feasible.

TypeScript is way more likely to remain its own thing.
you'd likely then have to pay a little micropayment for every site you go to, which would mean you'd be paying more for slower connections to a small collection of sites, which is not a great user story
There was a case study I read in some supply chain courses a while back that was about supply disruptions in supermarkets due to a temporary but unforseen border closure somewhere in Central Europe. I don't remember exact numbers, but the relationship between the number of missed supply trucks and products out of stock was roughly exponential. After a single truck, there were like a dozen products out of stock. But after a second truck, there were over 400 products out of stock. By the fifth missed truck, 20% of the entire store was out of stock.

Since most stores have distribution centers that can break up replenishment into small increments, grocery stores typically use a method of inventory management that "tops up" inventory levels on a scheduled basis. High demand items might get replenished once a day or more, while some might get replenished on 2, 3, 4 day intervals all the way up to monthly intervals for low demand durable items. Replenishment schedules are staggered on a per-SKU basis, so that the number of trucks per day is roughly constant.

The short story is that delayed trucks might be a tiny annoyance, but a full supply disruption can cause utter chaos in less than a week. If reroutes through the US aren't facilitated, you can expect to see all of the most commonly purchased items in your grocery store out of stock far sooner than you expect.
The actual number of victims in 1932-1934 is the top secret of RF. If you know actual number and can prove that, you should be already assassinated by RF, like many other historians, e.g. recently killed this year Vladimir Schukin[0].

The earliest intact document suggests that there was 81 million of Ukrainians before Holodomor and 31 million after.

Nationality for 20 million ethnic Ukrainians was forcefully changed from Ukrainian to Russian (direct evidence of that filmed in 199x, when victims were still alive, and is available at YouTube[1]). 7 million adults starved to death (official number by RF[2]), 23 million children were dead also, but nobody counted them back then. 30 millions of Holodomor victims are hidden as victims of WWW2 («total» number of WWW2 victims raised from 12 million to 42 million).

Famine and starvation is not equal to mass murdering by starvation. You are trying to downplay the murder to just «a death».

Most E-ink devices are B&W, usually multi-shade greyscale, with higher-end devices being 16-shade. Dithering or halftoning gives quite good results on images.

There are some colour devices, though more usually ebook readers. Colour is muted -- more pastel than saturated, but gives some distinction for manga or color-differentiated graphics.
