I think this is exactly the wrong way around. Discoverability is the cause of the destruction of original content on the internet, because as soon as something is discoverable it turns commercial and mainstream and gets blown up.

Niche internet communities could exist when they weren't discoverable because that was the only reason people who mess them up stayed out of them. Keyword 'Eternal September'.

The internet is now almost entirely transparent and everything that is transparent is uninteresting, because the eyes of everyone are on it, and nothing that's actually fun ever happens in public.
> Writing code as a team is almost like writing a novel with a few dozen other people, all of which have differing ideas on how the book should be written, or even what it should be about. It's hard to feel the joy in creating something when you're only a small cog in the development machine, and every decision needs a dozen voices of input.

I believe this is why books most often have a single author. A solution to this, is to agree on the global design, and then have different developers own different "modules" of the design. These modules should be treated like third-party libraries (and should act like third-party libraries vis-a-vis of their documentation and API).

Basically, microservices can exist within your code if you know how to modularize well.
But like it already exists. That's a sunk cost. Presuming it actually works and gives useful weights, if it lowers training time of novel models by 10% or something, that's dollars saved in the long run.
> We have approximately 12 developers spread across 2 feature teams and a support team.

I started work at Amazon in 2001 when they were near the beginning of the transition to microservices. I think they had a couple thousand software developers at that time.

Buterin: "Moxie's critiques in the second half of the post strike me as having a correct criticism of the current state of the ecosystem (where (1), (2), (7) and (8) are the only things that we have working code for), but they are missing where the blockchain ecosystem is going."

Right. In other words, what we have now sucks, but you shouldn't criticize it because we have this proposed scheme which might be better.
This seems to be, disregarding the entire meaning of "non-fungible" ?

NFT doesn't mean "token". If you just mean "token", say "token"?

Unless you mean like, "tokens which represent a fractional share of a particular NFT" ? But why would you use this as the thing to denominate payment in?

If Joe has $5 worth of something, and Carl has another $5 worth of the same thing, and outcomes are equivalent if they swap what they have, then, the thing they have is fungible.
I think it's totally possible if it's all run from the flash and only used the SRAM for housekeeping. Should be fun !
There were plenty, the military missions existence and classified nature weren't classified themselves. (Or at least plenty enough weren't. We wouldn't necessarily know of ones that were.)

So the "classified DOD project xyz" tasks are listed right there on the published official mission lists and schedules, and quite easy to look up on both Wikipedia and straight from NASA.

But the thing not achieved was Vandenberg launches, which would allow more N-S polar orbits that are often more useful to the military.

The less official but still obvious thing not achieved was the Airforce building a manned military space station (as far as we know...).
Consider that a random baseline is 10% accuracy, so 60% is pretty good, especially if the training time is functionally free to get to that accuracy.

Granted the comparison is 2500 iterations of sgd which isn't a lot. I haven't played with cifar in a while, but that's probably not a ton of savings.

Well when I'm looking for a store of value to use in exchange for goods and services, it generally is helpful for me if my $100 is not $80 the next week, $110 the one after that, then $70, etc.

What you mean to say is that BTC is a pretty good speculative asset, and I would agree up until the point that people want to actually turn their speculative asset into tangible wealth. Then they are going through fiat, or an exchange, and all the issues with the traditional finance system come through full force on top of crypto volatility.

DeFi and all these attempts are reinventing the wheel but without the traditional protections put in place. If I forget my password and email with Chase I can still recover my assets. Not so with crypto, and if someone does get my wallet key there is nothing stopping them from draining it dry. My bank would probably freeze the account for suspicious activity.

I haven't even brought up malicious theft of crypto, which happens all the time. Mt Gox wasn't that long ago and what was it, 10% of all circulating Bitcoin at the time that went missing? Most users aren't using hardware wallets and I imagine even less know how to really audit a smart contract. These are all barriers to widespread adoption.
A pick and place really is one of those things that would benefit from being open source--the vision algorithms are very annoying and require high technical skill while the motion algorithms are stupid simple.

I think you’re correct, it is a tooling problem, but that’s just as valid a problem class as any other. Part of the issue with solving tooling to deal with binary formats is the lack of self documentation. Reading JSON off the wire, its structure is immediately usable and understandable, whereas in most cases for a complex API, a binary protocol requires some foreknowledge of the structure of the data coming back. In the future, if we can create an efficient combination of binary protocol and self-documenting data structure, I’ll gladly change my mind entirely.
Given the trade off of synchronous vs asynchronous, I hope most folks try their damnedest to use the former before having to use the latter.
How I've seen it:

Five Shuttles flew to space - Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, Endeavour. And Buran - the one which flew (other Soviet spaceplanes would have different names, so Buran is like Columbia, not like Space Shuttle) - didn't have e.g. the life support system; it was rather a development flight, than a demonstration of a complete system. Still Buran (as a combined name, like Energiya-Buran program) had some better capabilities e.g. no toxic propellants onboard (Shuttle has to be chemically "pacified" after each landing) and longer orbital life (with cryogenics onboard).

I suck at life, but my comments are pertinent to the topics and vary by the specifics of the article/thread.
I'm no expert, but I'm also not convinced that the device contained malware.

> We sent the file for proper malware analysis which did confirm that it did indeed contain malware. The malware would collect user data and send it to a remote address. Presumably it would be a way to steal company information such as designs, accounts, and so on. Pretty shady stuff!

Or, you know, it might be doing anything at all on the internet. A reasonable question is "why should this device access the internet?" Good point, but my LAN-controlled "smart plug" connects to an NTP server in France. Who knows.

From the report:

> When verifying the [executable] signature, it was identified that
the malware did not have any signature assigned to it as shown in the figure below. It means that the file has a malicious activity.

Doesn't that mean that the image is not signed? Again, I'm not an expert, but to say "it means that the file has a malicious activity" smells like "I'll consider almost anything suspicious if it will convince you that this report is valuable." On the other hand, maybe that really is suspicious. I don't do this for a living.

> The process explorer and procmon helped to know that the malware created a child
process and then killed the process. It was also identified that the file did not have the signature but had the company name, and the path, confirming that it is a suspicious file from a legitimate organization. The regshot helped in getting the two snapshots of the registry, one before execution and one after malware execution. Therefore, it can be concluded that the file analyzed contains a trojan spyware which creates a child process that kills the original file when run. The malware collects user information and sends it to http://freedns.afraid.org/.

Again, the conclusion does not follow from the premises. Maybe spawning a child and killing the parent is something that you wouldn't normally do unless you were malware. Maybe English is not the author's first language, fine, but it does look like a poorly edited template.

For all I know, it's totally malware built for corporate espionage originating from a country notorious for doing that, but I don't see any compelling evidence.
Right, and if you don't want a single trackable identity, which lots of people don't, a nice modern phone can also WebAuthn using say a fingerprint reader† and so you can have one step sign in (tap sensor, sign in) that way with the resulting "identity" living only on that one site.

† You might be thinking wait, we don't want to be trackable. WebAuthn doesn't have any way of sending fingerprints to anywhere, the phone is using the biometrics to make this not work for bag snatcher, or for the guy snooping your desk while you go get a coffee.

The debate about microservices and monoliths are really about valuing consistency of tooling over best tool for the job. Microservices tend to emphasize allowing a developer to use whatever tools services and languages they want to implement a service. We define the input to the service and the output from the service, but little in between. The consistency is in the interfaces between the services - how each service is built can be totally different. Monoliths emphasize consistency of tooling and language across services, so there are fewer tools, fewer things to know to operate and develop the application.

You know what? You can totally screw up both architectures, you can have cost overruns, and you can fail to scale. Neither microservices or monoliths are going to make you succeed of fail.

The real question is, where do you want to put the consistency? Is that the right way to do it for your app? Can your team maintain and keep building, or is maintenance going to blow you up?
Nope because pkexec already is a privileged process because it is a setuid binary. Being a setuid binary instantly makes it a privileged process, it's not related to whether it's similar to sudo and does authorization. What I'm saying is that the pkexec process itself doesn't need to be setuid, it should be an unprivileged process (also true for the /usr/libexec/polkit-agent-helper-1 helper it uses which is a setuid binary but doesn't really have to be when splitting this up in a daemon process).

Edit: Maybe to make it clear, yes, in theory the polkit project does follow the scheme of a privileged daemon process and unprivileged clients but in practice it doesn't because of the setuid polkit-agent-helper-1 and setuid pkexec programs.
Slightly off topic, but do I not get something about Go? It comes up waay to often nowadays here, perhaps even more than LISPs - last time Rust was the hyped one, but it seemed to have decreased a bit. But at least rust is an interesting language with some novel features, adding new value to the low level PL domain. I fail to see what is unique about Go, other than the perhaps least known non-blocking concurrency (based on the recent “invisible” article on this). I find the simplicity of it (with the often claimed reason being basically “code monkeys not hindering each other’s work”, quite offending) really off-puttingz
Yeah, I found it weird that the article called blogs "Web 1.0", I'm pretty sure that it was them that were first hailed as the new "Web 2.0" ?
Damn dude - you really are out of touch. You should really step outside your comfort zone and talk to more people!

If you noticed anything about national trends - you'd know that motorcycles are basically dying and that things like sport cars are almost gone for good. MOST American families don't own an extra car.

You're also ignoring the real estate costs that are associated with what this guy had. Man, seriously - reevaluate. Read about what people are struggling with these days. Parents aren't paying that tuition out of their pocket - the kids are paying it with student loans.

> There are plenty of examples of people doing this important work because they legitimately believe that a world where fiat control is divorced from the levers of governmental power is a positive change.

Regardless of their intentions this is a bad idea and deserves every line of criticism it receives.

Governance, law, and financial regulation exist for reasons that programmers have no place or reason to replace.

Wether they wish it or not there is a centralization of authority that will happen. In Ethereum’s case either the oligarchs with the most money will set the rules, or more likely, actual governments with armies and the ability to enforce laws will.

But essentially I agree with you, good writers use the same technique: write once, revise many times.

Good code, IMO, only exist after many refactors.

Note that this isn't the big multi-state case, but a case brought by the city of Baltimore.

This hearing was not on the merits. The upcoming decision is about whether the lawsuit should be heard in state or federal court. I presume federal law would be more favorable to the oil companies, as that is what they're arguing for. This particular question has been bouncing up and down the courts since before the pandemic. From what I can tell[0], the confusing procedural history is something like this:

> Baltimore: oil companies owe us for climate change

> Big Oil: No we don't. Also, this should be decided in federal court.

> Federal district court: Nah, we'll keep it in state court

> Big Oil: 4th Circuit, tell the District court they're wrong!

> 4th circuit: Actually, we don't have the authority to review their decision

> Big Oil: Supreme Court, tell the 4th circuit that they do

> SCOTUS: They do.

> 4th Circuit: Okay, we'll review it.

We are here. After this decision comes down and then is appealed to the Supreme Court, then they'll start arguing over a motion to dismiss. After that gets all the way up to the Supreme Court again and the lawsuit survives, a galactic-scale discovery process will ensue. Then probably a settlement. All this is going to take years, if it happens at all. I find it hard to imagine that Baltimore has the will and resources to take this all the way.

I remember 12 years ago trying to get 30 or so FLAC albums into Foobar on a windows laptop I was taking with me on holiday. In order to display them as one collection the only obvious way to do this was to create individual playlists of each album and I think group them. When I shut my machine down I had the habit of using Ctrl+w to close everything but Foobar took this instruction as close and delete the playlist. When I revisited the app my library was empty. Back then I did not have the patience to rice Foobar up or explore the display configurations so that's where I gave up on Flac playback on a temp win machine.

For OSX I was a big fan of the original incarnation of Vox and bought a Swinsian license which is still my primary music player. I hope with the cli app resurgence we get something that improves on Cmus as I have a lot of 24/96 Flac that isn't supported and would love to have something run near seamless in Linux.

Yeah, infix doesn't go well with that. Even traditional mathematical notation ends up being ambiguous because of it. However, if all infix operators are given equal precedence, it all becomes very neat. See APL (https://apl.wiki) for an example of that.

Just the one's I know about is the whole 'Southern Man' song controversy, then another one is when Trump purchased the rights to play "Rocking in the free world" for announcing his run for presidency and Young first claimed that Trump did it without permission and then when confronted about that statement avoided it like a weasel saying "everybody can use it if they like it", and now this.

I don’t want to learn every point of sale system at every restaurant I go to. I sometimes have custom orders. If I screw something up, I want to be able to say, “sorry, can I change that?”. I have to touch a screen that others have touched. The UI might be bad, the machine might be slow. About 1/3rd of the time at Home Depot I end up having to wait for someone to come over for some reason at the self checkout.

Regardless of how I order at a fast food joint, I have to see someone hand me food, and it is a bit dehumanizing if there is no line for me to walk in and use a machine instead of talk to them, especially when they hand me the food. (I’d definitely use a self-order if there was a line and saved time)

An app is different - there is a clear benefit to ordering ahead and having food ready. The only expected interaction is the pickup.
