The problem as I see it is that systems today are so complex that there is a great disparity between learning how to use a system (being "tech savvy") and understanding a system.

Many schools teach the first. Kids are taught how to use computers, how to make websites etc.

The second type is the focus of those Logo/turtle type curricula I keep hearing anecdotally.

But in both cases the gap remains and true understanding of the systems our lives depend on today remain out of reach.

I'm not saying that everyone needs to fully understand operating systems or graphics pipelines. But there's a huge gap from for loops and if conditions to a desktop environment. And so the things we use on a daily basis still feel like magic to most
Neat. I do think there is a lot of room to refine the search engine interface. If the dumpster fire that's Google it's pretty clear that natural language search is just not a good approach. It's extremely frustrating when the search engine is second guessing you.

Your "tags" look like search terms, like key n-grams. I'm guessing because when I extract search terms from a document, I get stuff of a similar "vibe". Maybe easier if I show than try to describe, this is from a unit test I have that runs keyword extraction code on a few documents. I think these are from some page about SSH clients

unix_source, msi, ssh_authentication_agent, gitweb, pscp, cryptographic_checksums, windows_source, ssh, puttytel, command-line_secure, telnet, windows_html, most_up-to-date_version, psftp, zip, scp, standalone, version_of_putty, scp_client, dsa, putty, plink, rsa_and_dsa, sftp, binaries, unix, up-to-date_version, checksums, rsa, individual_executables, 64-bit_arm, 64-bit_version, source_archive, .zip_archive, 32-bit_arm, latest_release, checksum, standalone_binaries, cryptographic, windows_on_arm, ftp, zipped, versions_of_putty, alternative_binary_files, unix_source_archive, download_putty, sftp_client, latest_released_version, ssh_and_telnet_client, ssh_and_telnet

I've been playing with the idea of doing some sort of Naive Bayes-categorization of the general topic of a web page and using those to offer a broad filtering on my search results. May be a lot of work since it relies on a degree of manual curation, but seems be doable once you have a decent model cooked up. I'd like, when you search for Plato, to be able to offer the alternative of refining the search to the philosopher or the computer system.
My impression is that a huge - but little-recognized - supporter of the status quo has been the National Science Foundation, and similar outside providers of academic research funding. If the big boys in that neighborhood decided that real open-access publishing was clearly superior, then most large universities would quickly adopt the new orthodoxy. Those which did not would soon be hit by brain drains, funding droughts, and "going down fast" gossip.
Why are you wary of using something like that?

I use one of them, and it has been a great help for me for studying and for work. I don't take them during "off-time", i.e., weekends and holidays, and I don't feel like I need them for my hobbies, where part of what makes it fun for me is that I can take my time, shift my focus constantly, and define "progress" by my own internal metrics.
If you are using a random password generator, don't be doing 12 character lol. Do 20+
That's the first thing I tried, "copy image" then, on gimp, file->create->from clipboard.

And it just worked, with no hassle.
JavaScript String Split()
> file copying between two machines can be initiated and managed from a third node.

Isn't that something FTP, a 50-year-old protocol can do too?
High marginal tax rates in the UK are mainly hit at low wages (when you come off universal credit and get taxed at 75p on the pound, when you're repaying your student loan when you get an extra 9p/pound, when you have two kids and the loan at 50k when you get hit by 69p (about to be 72p)

Once you're at say 200k, your marginal rate (as you'll have repaid your loan in the first couple of years) is 45%

Someone on $500k in CA will pay $210k in taxes. Someone on $500k (£375k) in the UK will pay $220k (£165k). That's not a massive difference.

I think you are confusing jurisdiction with enforceability of judgements.

Jurisdiction is about whether the court is allowed to hear the case to begin with.

Enforceability of the judgement is about whether anyone has the power to do anything in practice if the defendant decides to ignore a judgement against them.

Just because the judgement you won turns out to be unenforceable in practice didn't mean the court lacked jurisdiction to hear the case to begin with. Jurisdiction and enforceability are separate concepts. Sometimes, the answer to the question of enforceability does not become clear until long after the judgement itself.

US courts (both federal and state) have the power to enforce foreign court judgements; I'm not aware of any rule which automatically excludes Indian courts from that. Whether they will do so in any particular case is a very complex legal question. In theory, the question of whether a US court will enforce a foreign judgement is based on legal considerations not political ones. Of course, in practice, judges are political animals and they will take political considerations into account; but, when they do that, they generally try to explain what they are doing as applications of apolitical legal principles, no judge wants to be openly seen to be deciding a case politically even if many suspect that to be their true motivation.
It depends on what "easy" actually refers to. When we say it's easier to program in language X than language Y, we don't speak about the cleverness behind the X compiler.
The author thinks that his way to "code" a solution to the quadratic equation is easier. He proposes an alternative "language" for teaching this.
I disagree that standing armies and nuclear weapons are a waste. They guarantee your security, which you seem to take for granted. Your views on this could change if you spend a few years in a warzone under artillery fire.

It is of course not 100% perfect analogy, nothing is, but I believe you understood the point I tried to get across: it's a security service, and that costs money. Blackwater stationary guard roles are 180-220k a year for someone with years of experience. I'd imagine monetary networks use a lot of physical security, some central banks are literally located in bunkers under mountains, with a backup site in a similar setup on a different geological plate.

I have not seen any PoS schemes so far that provide anything other than plutocracy as a service. There is a reason why ETH with a 100mil R&D budget is still on PoW, Vitalik is not a dummy.

as for the cheap sources of sustainable energy, those are usually stranded hydro and wind that's too remote to be economic, and stranded natgas (for natgas "green" might be a better term, i've used sustainable in the sense that CH4 is far more damaging that CO2. I've been told by regulators it is actually better to burn off CH4 from stranded wells)

Balancing of the grid also does happen, but I believe primarily with wind and hydro.

I, of course, agree that we should not pollute the Earth we live on. High energy usage in itself is not bad, only if it's a harmful polluter. I've only pointed out dishwashers and pools (don't have the stats handy, but they do indeed use a lot more, like a magnitude more), as a common hypocrisy.

We must rapidly scale up non-polluting energy sources, as it seems unlikely humanity can become a spacefaring species on a self-imposed tight energy budget, and this self-imposed handicap coupled with an unexpected asteroid impact can end us.
Dark Mode Design
Yes. The OpenJDK VM and HotSpot are different names of the same thing.
They do. If you don't have a diagnose, be careful with it. You want to be able to execute challenging mental tasks without it. You will still be able to do that after trying such medication, but you will always know, there would be a easier way to do it and that can become a mental block.
> Night Light matched with local sunset time

uh, you are right! I just remembered Linux/Gnome have the "Display/Night Light" mode already present in Settings. It makes colors "warmer", and you can schedule it from Sunset to Sunrise.
My policy from a large building society in the UK has an explicit section for cover for theft /not/ using force and violence, but it doesn't apply if the house is lent/let/sublet. That is covered by the preceding section of theft using force and violence.

I.e. force and violence required if letting the property.
So the same as Novell's ncopy?
Yeah I mean 23 MDs went to retreat to try to summarize current best understanding of this disease versus your individual opinion.

Which evidence? And why did Mayo/British NIH/CDC/WHO happen to miss this "abundance of evidence"? Without pointing to wonky stuff, how could all those cumulative people employed at those organizations be wrong, and you random internet stranger with no citations happen to have nailed it? I'm assuming you're not claiming Mayo is somehow dishonest. So are you claiming they're incompetent? If neither on what ground do you assert its incorrect?

This is like arguing with an anti-vaxxer who argues "we just don't know, I heard the jab makes you infertile". Almost seems like a waste to even bother replying.
If you do not open directory with Finder they do not appear. So why to use Finder anyway?
> Unfortunately, when people start needing a substance just to feel normal, that is the definition of an addiction.

If they would otherwise not feel normal and there are no negative side effects, is that a problem?
Did Java already beat Common Lisp and C#? I doubt so. Esp. since the commercial lisps with much better GC's are not listed on the benchmarkgame. But also not Shenandoah, and the other commercial Java GC's
Country-specific predictions are a bit more detail than "covid is seasonal", and at least in the models relevant here percentage of people with immunity and (quarantine and other) policies obviously play a role. Are they perfect? No, but "models are pointless and only give trivial results" is too easy.
If youtube suggests way too many lock picking videos after you watched this one, you can go to your YouTube history and remove the video from the list.
Frame Control
The former point is super interesting. Can you link to the overlapping scatter graphs?

If that underlying assumption is wrong it's even more mysterious how these patients are so tired. You then have to pivot to the cytokime storm position.
Copy-on-write and hard links are different things. A file clone would, though (as in cp --reflink).
It's not a one time thing. It's a convergent process.

It provides advantage as long as the currency is in that deprecated state. Basically the same work will cost less in the depreciated currency. This causes demand for that work, which causes appreciation of the currency.
> Indeed, you can probably fix plutocracy with some PoW.

Uh... great! Glad you agree that this is a solution?

Let's switch to this new "some PoW" system as soon as possible, because it uses less than a megawatt to calculate proofs. Total, for the entire network.
So you’re saying that it’s illegal for a company to subsidize it’s unprofitable products by using funds from more successful products? Because that’s basically what’s Google business model was from the beginning (i.e. release a bunch of free stuff to tie in users into their ecosystem and gather their data) : Gmail, Maps, Docs, Chrome are illegal because they are/were subsidized by the Search/Ads business?

Have dumping laws ever been actually applied to software?
I appreciate your clarifications and welcome all corrections, unfortunately like the LTS stuff, most Java shops are completely unaware of those differences.

Maybe Oracle could provide another channels to actually spread this knowledge other than forums that 90% of corporate Java devs don't use.

I had access to ARPANET[1] (which later evolved into "the internet"[2]) in the early 1980s when I was in academia. In those days, long before the web, most people just used it for e-mail, FTP and TELNET. This was before we had .com, .edu, etc. - the top-level domains were .ARPA (civilian) and .MIL (military). We were connected to the net via a BBN IMP[3] in the computer room.

In 1991, I first had dialup internet access from home with a small, local ISP using a 14.4k modem.

So literally one guy has control of Ethereum?
"once a piece of data gets confirmed and buried under a few days worth of bitcoin's PoW, it can never be changed or removed from the blockchain."

Could someone put child porn in the blockchain? Would that have legal consequences for anyone using Bitcoin in places that have laws about such porn?
Hamilton was workshopped for a very long time and then had a long Off Broadway run at The Public Theatre where additional changes were made. A huge amount of money went into it because of the trust that Lin Manuel had generated with previous work.

Spiderman was in tech for over a year (beta testing) because the damned flying didn't work. Then they radically changed the script because it hadn't been workshopped, and it was still terrible.

I would encourage you to work on a theatrical production some time. I think you'll find a lot of familiar difficulties, including insane schedules, incompetent management, project bloat, abuse and burnout.
The last paragraph indicates the whole comment is in jest.
Do you believe PoW can be used as bootstrap mechanism, and then some combo of PoS/Pow in the maintenance mode?

Who is the top researcher on this subject these days?
1. Currently no team is officially for sale, but in the last 5 years at least 3-4 teams were acquired, so thinking long term, there will be opportunities to buy a club

2. I think this is the biggest issue - not even that the league won't approve the transaction, but that it won't pass the legal requirements. The owner probably needs to be an individual or a corporation, and DAO is... neither of these. Who knows how it'll change in the next few years though, maybe there'll be a way to fit DAOs into the legal framework.

3. And if this DAO ever raises $1.3b, by that time the cheapest team will be worth $2b! I don't think it'll ever happen in NBA, but maybe some lower division in English football? It would be interesting to see, if some DAO owns a small club to see how the management process would look like in practice.
Not all economists agree that cartels are bad. Also they are usually about prices for selling stuff, not for buying stuff (as in buying employees). Just because companies have agreements doesn't make it a cartel. It would be stupid if companies wouldn't be allowed to have agreements.

And as mentioned before, workers cartels (unions) seem to be legal in most "civilized" places.

Or think about another example: poaching somebodies wife. That also seems to be frowned upon in many places. Yet, it is just an agreement that nobody should make somebody else's wife a better offer.

People tend to forget with all those rules that they could also be on the receiving end of things. You may not be a worker forever, maybe one of these days you want to become independent and run your own company. It would be a shame if people effectively weren't allowed to do so anymore.
Also Software patents. However, lawyers find an easy way around to somehow word it as innovation rooted in hardware.

So here is one potential discriminator. A person that can visualize sees something traumatizing. For example, witnessing someone being killed, or a gruesome accident on the highway. That person will repeatedly have flashbacks re-playing those images again and again. It's horrific.
But attacking the lock is the last thing a smart or determined person will do. Sure a better lock helps, this is why most modern cars have much better locks than homes, but even they can be easily opened with the right tools, and often even easier with improvised tools.

Most locks really are cheap and sufficient for everything, in the US, at least, because we are using them right now. Schlage and Master Lock are everywhere and I taught my sister to pick them in a single sitting over drinks.

Even the most common combination locks are easily openable without any tools whatsoever. All those key holding real estate locks are even easier to open than the doors the containing key opens.

But remember, social contracts of all kinds get broken, and that’s why we have a justice system.
It's unbelieveable, especially considering their values 10 years ago. Brooklyn Nets were acquired in 2010 for $200m, and then sold in 2019 for $3.3b - 16x more in 9 years!
I was under the impression that the softer plastic cant be recycled (isn't worth it) and goes directly to the landfill. The harder plastic is worth more (barely) and has a larger chance of being recycled back into pellets.
Unless he shuts down his channel, though I suppose folks will have made copies.
> I have aphantasia (when I'm awake) and visual imagery in my dreams that is sharper and more detailed than real life.

I'm not being snarky, but... how do you know? I mean, if you can't visualize when you are awake, how do you even know what you see/saw when you were dreaming?
Scene - a secluded area outside Sietch Tabr, Paul Muad'dib has met with a Fremen inventor:

Paul: Svengar, you said you had a new invention to show me?

Svengar: Yes Usul, I think you will find this especially useful - I call it a 'sauna'. It is based on an ancient invention I have read about, where people would turn water into a hot gas, and sit 4 or more apiece in this box to get as hot as they possibly could without losing consciousness.

Paul: uh

Svengar: bear with me, bear with me. Now of course we would never waste anything as precious as water for this, but my idea, what if instead of heated water inside our sauna with the 4 or more people we put Shai Hulud?

Paul: But... wouldn't this be a way of torturing someone?

Svengar: Why else would you put people into a box to make them as hot as possible?

Paul: Good point, Svengar, this will be useful.
It's legal and should be legal. You purchased the game, it is yours to do with what you want including converting the machine code into C.

Decompiling Adobe cloud is illegal because you are just renting a seat to use it. It's not yours.

This modern garbage of paying 70k for a car that isn't really yours needs to stop and people need to stop paying a purchase price for something they are just "renting".
American sports teams are generally very profitable due to the structure - franchises, closed, no relegation or promotion, shared academy intake academy preference to the worst performing teams - basically an owner can not invest anything, the team can perform bad, and they'd just get good youngsters without getting relegated, and keep the same revenues, whereas a European team being managed badly or with little investment will fall down the pyramid, with diminishing revenues, and they'd have only their own academy to count on, without investment to buy new players.

And for your Barcelona example, it isn't a good one. It's a fan owned club, the president is elected and isn't an owner and can't really invest in it bar some special cases.
With the advent of Windows PC "consoles" in the near future, I guess the need for traditional consoles will demiss.
If the author is looking at a Rust specific function, then the actual advice should be to use File::copy(). That function forwards to OS specific implementations which use copy_file_range on Linux, fcopyfile on macOS, and CopyFileExW on Windows.
I had a 3 letter as well. I was getting daily password resets for years and then one day it was stolen despite 2FA and a random 32-char password. No idea how they did it. I wasn't a heavy user and Instagram doesn't seem to offer any support so I just created another account and moved on.
It wasn't (he used to be lawyer) but he's won lock picking contests, apparently has a gargantuan collection of locks some of which he habitually practises on, and these days runs a company that sells lock picking tools (though I have no idea if that's his only gig).

Anyway, if you watch all / most of his videos the near constant refrain running through them isn't "with finely honed skills and the right hard to find speciality tools it's easy to open this lock" (though he does do that). Instead it's: "it's easy to open this lock with no or few skills, no or little practice, with trivially found, improvised, or purchased tools, using exploits that have been known in the lock manufacturing and locksmithing industries for decades or centuries".

That in turn is his point in this keynote. These exploits have been known in the lock manufacturing and locksmithing industries for decades or centuries and yet many, perhaps most of the locks that people can buy in stores, still have those flaws (which are easy and inexpensive to eliminate in the design and construction process).
Finally I understand the perspective of mac users in this problem. I had assumed that showing hidden files and manually cleaning up the zip archive would be a "simple no-brainer solution".

I just can't comprehend the reasoning of hiding .DS_Store beyond the reach of viewing hidden files. This is user-hostile. Why don't the native zipping tools automatically ignore these files when creating an archive?
If I write anything negative about this hobbby anywhere, I will always automatically get extremly hostile feedback. It's like a cryptocurrency cult, but with toxic old guys and with previous-century technology. Like crypto - also absolutely no social value.
You probably want to test:

if [ ! -f "$zipfile" ]

Instead of

if [ "x$zipfile" = "x" ]
Channel 7 regularly act as the platform for Pauline Hanson to spit her dross. That ain't left leaning by a long shot. Also, despite your perception, the ABC have to undertake annual audits for political bias. This is part of being a state funded broadcaster. I suggest that you read those reports.

EDIT: Channel 9 is chaired by Peter Costello. Channel 7 is chaired by Kerry Stokes. The ABC is chaired by Ita Buttrose. All three of these people have much closer ties to the political right than the political left.

That's the problem with EvE, a lot of people famously use spreadsheets, and once you start coding your custom tools and get into automating stuff it just never ends. Very soon you're scraping all the markets storing everything in a database looking for profits. Using multiple accounts to scale up your "ISK operation". There's really no limit on what you can do, expect that there's probably a better use of your time :)
