> In this regard, it is worth recalling the recently announced position of the US State Department. US agency spokesman Ned Price said that the US administration expects Russia to provide clarifications on military exercises in the west of the country or completely stop them as part of the de-escalation of the situation around Ukraine.

I'm a Ukrainian living in the US, but these ^ kind of things have always made me curious. What's the US's business? I mean, it's Russia's territory. Neither Russia nor Ukraine is bordered with the United States. Training is happening on the Russia's territory, so, in theory, they can do whatever the hell they want. The US is on the other side of the globe. Why do they have an opinion? Why should any other country even care about what the US thinks or recommends, let alone explain anything? I obviously don't want my country to get into a full-blown war with Russia, but just curious about the US's business in this whole situation.
It has been done because wifi/bluetooth chipsets are mostly software defined radios but the software is in proprietary pretty well locked down firmware environments. The hardware of the radios will also usually be specified for very specific bands and will have less general purpose uses.

Also note that it’s easy to break FCC regulations and generally be disruptive if you mess around with this stuff and don’t know what you’re doing, and the FCC happily hands out five digit fines.

When the Texas bird showed up, birders were pretty incredulous. The bird was only seen (and photographed) by a single individual. Once the photos were validated to have actually been taken in the reported location (people have tried to pass off photos from far away locations before), the general feeling was that is was most likely an escaped bird from a zoo or private collection. However, once a Steller's Sea Eagle turned up a few months later in eastern Canada the general feeling changed and the Texas Rare Birds Committee ended up voting that the bird was of natural origin and not an escapee.

Interestingly enough, this is not the first time a rare raptor has been seen in Texas and later turned up in the northeast. A couple years ago the first Great Black Hawk ever photographed north of the Mexican border found in south Texas. A few months later a Great Black Hawk was found in Maine. The feather patterns of the Maine bird were compared to the photographs of the Texas bird and it was concluded that they were the same individual. Unfortunately the bird eventually died, apparently unable to cope with Maine's winter weather, but not before it was seen by thousands of people from far and wide.

It doesn't, really, hence the “True” part of “True, though...”
Battery life when using the EVF (vs viewfinder in SLR) seems to be the only downside currently with Canon (I think Sony's is better). Hopefully over time this will improve.
Right. There isn't any way of making it easy or beginner friendly, because DSP and RF aren't simple topics.
If you look at it with the analogy of vinyl records and digital representations of that music. You can reach a point in which you are quantizing something that equally can represent the original in a way that is not discernable in difference (maybe 192khz 32 bit float for some but still quantized).

You equally, hit limits in human perception and technology/physics limitations more so.

Maybe the universe is always N+1 with N being the best sampling rate known to man. Sure we can infer, but when you want to know the answer to the exact decimal point, sometimes you have to accept that 1/3 is 1/3 and never exactly 0.333333333333 however much recurring you have.

Ah, that is confusing since it is for a fraction of the year. I am paid $120k/yr, which is typical.
What do you do at UW? I left academic research in an unrelated discipline (cognitive neuroscience) to become a software engineer. I really enjoy my work, but I also miss the deep expertise and intellectual stimulation of the academe. I might interested in this career path - $120k is plenty.
In case OP, and others don't know, it is the copyright holders that can decide on the license. Copyright holders are the persons who contributed to the code. In this case, it sounds like OP is the sole author and therefore the sole copyright holder.

You cannot change the past, but as a copyright holder, you can always set a new license for future releases.

Thus, OP, if you're uncertain, I definitely was when I started out, go with a restrive license as recommended here (GPL). That, together with publishing the code online (e.g. GitHub, Gitlab, ...) as well as a with your article, will give you some protection against plagiarism. Anyone who use include parts of your code for their research code, will have to share theirs code the same. If you later on feel like you want to relax the license, you can always change it to, say, MIT.
My wife has the latest Pro Max. I have a mini. I also have one of the latest Canon mirrorlesses and pounds and pounds of lenses.

Give me my setup any day, but I'm looking at it for what I love to do - wildlife, sports, cityscapes. I don't care about portraits, I don't care about taking picture of food, I don't care about capturing life memories/events. Sure my use case is not what a regular consumer uses a camera for, but a cellphone can't come anywhere close to what I do.
As engineers, we all know that there are different circumstances. Sometimes they are technical, sometimes political. I would say we should always assume goodwill, unless proven wrong. This is irrespective of whether we talk about Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook or any other company.
It happened to me once on hacker news. His point that was any size could be considered a "unit". Which is true, I suppose.

To portray a peaceful Russia as the villain so they can increase their influence in the region? Depending on your viewpoint you can come up with some motivation. And this is also not completely false, ofcourse all these guys are constantly "fighting" for influence in the region. The west prefers to influence via economic means and Russia can't compete in that game so they're changing the game. Perhaps if there was more of a win-win strategy there it might be more successful though hard to say what Russia (given it's political climate) would count as a win.
That's still an innumerate phrasing.

You're going to be disappointed then. Closer to 40 years of living, 30 years of being imprisoned by your failing health.

US and EU have been preparing for this for some time.

They expect that if Russia invades Ukraine, Nord Stream 2 will be dead and they will weaponize natural gas supply. So emergency gas supplies will be coming from Netherlands, US etc in accordance with their action plan:

An echo of a narrow slice of time. For a while, you could /ctcp version a channel and ircII would outnumber mIRC 10:1 (then obviously, less as time went on) and mIRC didn't have any scripting capabilities at all (mIRC < 4, I think, maybe < 3) compared to pretty good scripting capabilities for ircII!

ircII scripting felt vaguely C inspired, and mIRC's scripting definitely felt foreign to the UNIX/IRC culture it got attached to. I never got seriously into scripting mIRC, and the mental model might have changed, but draft 1 of adding scripting into mIRC definitely had that Rasmus Lerdorf "I don't know how to make a language at all, I'm just making something work" feel, whereas ircII scripting felt vaguely coherent from a C-ish background.

Very old impressions, and mIRC scripting might've gotten good in later versions. The earliest versions of mIRC scripting definitely felt very weird.
Why would you want less api? Overall at the specification level those APIs are secure even if some implementations aren't. Web is a mature application platform at this point and it's being held back by apple.
Sorry to be blunt, but you both demonstrate a poor technical understanding of Bitcoin. Miners are not "intermediaries" and it is possible to send/receive Bitcoin with any regular programming language.

The links you posted refer to Ethereum smart contracts which are indeed prone to programming errors. The tooling around them is improving (e.g. debuggers, verifiers) and there are a couple of multi-billion dollar smart contracts which have stood the test of time.
We've already seen cameras running on Android. Eventually, we'll see cameras with all of the artificial image manipulation that you are seeing in the phones. I'm not so sure that's a good thing, but it will be done. At that point, it will be this annual update cycle
There are probably various (good or bad) economic reasons for the interest, but the fact that NATO borders both Ukraine and Russia is probably a big part of it.

Your whole argue is basically it might make a few people uncomfortable for a generation. While completely ignoring any benefits for future generations.
A lot of the criticisms I’m seeing here are how you approach your todo list. If you look at it as a script for your whole life of course it’s going to fail, you’ll spend more time setting it up and consulting it than doing anything with it, and it’ll quickly get swamped with irrelevant details. If you use it as a ‘living document’ that jogs your memory for what needs to get done it’s going to work out better. Often times just putting something on paper helps organize your thoughts around something and commit it to memory.
Of course we all need it, but I am convinced that half the reason we are all pumping so much money into solar, wind, heat pumps etc is to reduce the dependency.
Russian would still be crazy to kill that golden goose any sooner than it has to.
That's really the only disadvantage I came up with. I was also really nervous about lag and blackouts, but once I actually used one, even in the older R, I realized it was a non-issue.

It's still an incredibly strange concept for me, and admittedly I'm not sure I'll ever be fully comfortable with it. However from a practical standpoint, there's really no issue.
The key is understanding why programmers make security mistakes. As you can imagine, this is an active area of research that, for obvious reasons, is of much interest for language and API designers, but one of the causes that is currently believed to be a significant one is that programmers reach for the wrong tool for the job -- security wise -- not because they're idiots, but because many programmers don't understand the security implications of something that they believe is completely innocent, and so they reach for the more convenient option, which might be less safe.

So while preventing someone from constructing JSON (which can be output as a string) is not always as fool-proof as preventing someone doing the same with SQL (as the driver API will simply not offer an option that takes a string) the reason such a feature is added in the first place is because it is easier, and that is what makes it more attractive. A more convenient mechanism attracts people to use it.

Some things, like SQL and JSON, are often convenient to create using templates. Using something like CONCAT."""{"x": "\{x}", "y": "\{y}"}""" is certainly no more convenient, and so no more attractive, than writing JSON."{x: \{x}, y: \{y}}", but it is more convenient in some situations than using an API that requires defining or generating a type for the object in the source language. So while safe JSON libraries in Java and Rust exist today without a built-in template mechanism, being able to offer them with that mechanism will make unsafe options less tempting by comparison.

That is why experienced security experts recommend that languages do not add a string templating mechanism that is more convenient, and so potentially more attractive, than safe options for security-sensitive uses. Their general rule is, "when possible, don't make programmers jump through more hoops to do something secure than something insecure." You're free to find this advice misguided, but I wonder if the people who added this feature to Rust consulted with security experts before adding it. I don't think I would have been aware how sensitive this feature is if it weren't for the advice of security experts.
Yes, but why not use the existing software? Building flowgraphs in GNU Radio is not simple.

Sigma A (\x -> B) = (C : *) -> ((x : A) -> B x -> C) -> C

The parallel I would draw in art isn't anime, but the trend in art in the 19th century away from trying to make more photorealistic art. For example, Impressionism. You can look at the works of, say, Claude Monet, and see that the heavy brush strokes and seemingly incomplete nature of his Impressionist paintings aren't because that's only as good as he can do.
Assuming no bias, the author is going to be far more informed than your average news media analyst. The author’s point is more or less that the west does not understand what they are looking at. But if you look at the past few debacles in failed US military interventions, they are all caused by being misinformed.

During the Vietnam war, the US was so ill informed on history they thought the Vietnamese would join forces with China. However, Vietnam and China have had a very tumultuous past and this was never on the table - far from it. A quick reading of history would dispel those fears. Amazingly, McNamara only learned of this decades later.

In Iraq and Afghanistan, the US made similar errors. They thought installing a democracy would simply replace the tribal power structures Saddam had kept in check for decades. But obviously with him gone, rivalries came right back. 20 years later…

Now that’s not to say Russia is not playing the usual smoke and mirrors games to extract concessions from NATO and West. But it’s good to have this perspective before anybody gets too trigger happy.
Because of an organization named NATO.
Sure, HTTP 1.1 was a clear improvement over 1.0.
Yes, but they're still fungi. They might be extracting some amount of energy from radiation, but they still get most of their energy (and cellular raw material) the old fashioned, biological way. It's not like they suddenly evolved replacement pathways to synthesize all the products they need.
There is not going to be a general all out war.

Ukraine is not part of NATO and US/EU have no interest in fighting.

Instead the most severe set of financial sanctions, possibly ever seen, will be implemented e.g. disconnecting Russian banks from SWIFT. And we saw in Iran these measures do work to severely harm the economy.
> Saudi’s Arabia’s values are in direct opposition to everything America values

Minor correction: to everything America says that it values.

Actions speak a lot louder than words, and the rest of the world doesn't believe anything America says any more. Torture camps, mass surveillance, economic espionage, illegal wars - you know all this.

And if you think that's just American leaders, I suggest you try making up a fictional country and asking Americas if you think they need to be bombed. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/dec/18/republican-v...

Why not have the server packetize and label?

...
<file1, bytes 2048-4096>

The server has to order critical stuff first on a pipelined connection to reduce latency but this approach can easily send stuff the client requested and will request, while collecting data serverside by any number of threads.
> Those insiders include venture capital firms like a16z and, incredibly, Coinbase’s own venture arm, which has a number of investments listed on Coinbase.

As someone who is not as familiar with the day-to-day machinations of this field, this really surprised me. Does anyone at Coinbase care that there might be this massive conflict of interest? How can this be legal/ethical?

At a more basic level, don't they at least feel kinda slimy about it? I thought there would at least be some kind of hamfisted "we keep these departments separate" statement w.r.t who gets listed, but I don't even think they claim that. In fact at the launch for Coinbase Ventures, they said "You can expect that we’ll enthusiastically invest in ideas from our own alumni network."

On March 11, 2011, large parts of the city were destroyed by the tsunami which followed the Tōhoku earthquake. The island of Ōshima and its 3,000 residents, included in the city limits, was isolated by the tsunami which damaged the ferry connections.[7] After the tsunami, spilled fuel from the town's fishing fleet caught fire and burned for four days.[8] As of 22 April 2011, the city had confirmed 837 deaths with 1,196 missing.[9]

They do, and there is a stark contrast between how Republicans and Democrats handle important issues in the US. You see, Republicans just sell you out. Then the Democrats just sell you out.

Hm, I quite like your analogy! I actually just got into photography not too long ago with an R5. Thinking about it now, it really does feel some sorta "corporate." I also considered the fujifilm xt4, all the reviews make me feel as if that'd be a Pythonic kind of camera.

After falling in love with the whole photography universe, I hope one day I can experience the COBOL-like world of film. I did grow up when film was around, in the 90s and all that, but my family was too poor and I only ever messed around with disposable cameras and Polaroids. Polaroids themselves are a whole other insanely awesome universe to explore.

Astroturf? Which powerful interest in the world right now wants people to work less?
Sure, but to what end? The posture of the current government of Ukraine is quite pro-EU, and the people of Ukraine tend to agree (although I suppose one could argue that these surveys are biased?).
The author lost me at the capital T.
I'm going to assume you've never dealt with this issue, even indirectly. I have not met a single person who has killed someone, and for whom $100M would make slightest difference. If anything, the people I've met would happily pay to undo the act.
And yet you still don't name any actual useful applications!

The Ethereum world computer has 300,000 nodes, and yet has 1/5000 the computation power of a single Raspberry Pi 4.

Except for actual cryptocurrencies, all the "web3" applications could use boring old 1980s vintage cryptography, be just as distributed, and run ten thousand times faster and cheaper.

----

So far the only way anyone has ever made any money from cryptocurrency is to sell it to someone for more fiat currency. In fact, in real terms, it has net lost money because of the huge amounts of electricity expended.

So once people such as yourself purchase cryptocurrency, they know in their hearts that the only way they will make more is if further people buy into their Ponzi scheme.

Therefore, your comment above.
I've been working on this lately and I must say this is the first time I've seen "working on the highest priority items at the expense of lower priority items" framed as procrastination. In the literature it's always (that I've seen) the opposite- and that's the view I have.

Type C isn't a procrastinator- it's someone who practices good time management.

Now, maybe the way the person assigns priorities is wholly selfish. Maybe they assign the highest priorities to things that benefit themselves the most, and don't tend to think that things that benefit others deserve their effort as much.

But that's a different trait from procrastination.

Those people aren't procrastinators. They're assholes.
