Most of the notes you carefully and "secretly" took, are nothing more than some useless information for others, but it helps you to understand the things you're taking or just make yourself to understand your own idea better.

From my perspective, I do not think some note taking procedure would help me to become a better person, to become better, one has to put hard working and generates good ideas, not just pass the exercise or get an A in you exam.
Thing is, you could usually reverse engineer a piece of hardware enough to write your own software for it, as described in the OP article. That's fully legal. But NVidia designed their hardware on purpose such that you're required to use their proprietary blob to initialize it and you can't substitute it with something open-source. So hardware is effectively useless unless you send it this particular Highly Proprietary™ sequence of bytes that NVidia won't let you have without way too many strings attached.

I guess one way would be to write a driver that does this exact thing this thread suggests, and release it under a license that forbids its distribution into and within the US. And of course never ever host any parts of it on any infrastructure located in the US or owned by a US company.

There is a procedure that stops myopia progression, although it's not offered in US. Very effective when done in young age.

Ho, too bad :(

Fixing my myopia would be one of my life’s dream. I’m unfortunately non eligible to laser surgery due to my amblyopia. I’m stuck there forever waiting for a non invasive treatment that nobody is searching for because, well, we have the LASIK.
A computer was used sparingly.

This is not true. Even in the mid-90s most things were computer based. Offices were full of them. A lot of people had them in their homes. Business software built in VB was a massive industry. I was getting paid to make websites in 1998, and they were immensely popular. People had LAN parties where they took their PCs to other peoples houses to play Doom on a network.

No doubt people use computers more now, but don't underestimate how much we sat in front of Windows 95.
Apple is power (money) and influence for the US, and there is increasing geopolitical tension. It's pretty easy to see this as shooting yourself in the foot.
> Developers boasting 300—500k total comps

In what world do you live in, exactly? Plenty of FANG engineers don't get paid a fraction of that. If you dare gaze away from your belly button and, say, outside the US borders, there are plenty of developers who barely earn 20k pre-tax.

Microsoft slaughtered companies that dared to compete with it in the bad old days, as noted in the findings of fact from the antitrust lawsuit.

>Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson issued his findings of fact on November 5, 1999, which stated that Microsoft's dominance of the x86-based personal computer operating systems market constituted a monopoly, and that Microsoft had taken actions to crush threats to that monopoly, including Apple, Java, Netscape, Lotus Software, RealNetworks, Linux, and others.

There was also the contractual matter of forcing OEMs to pay for a Windows license on computers they shipped that didn't have Windows on them.

In the EU antitrust case, Microsoft was forced to open up the their client server protocols (too late to save Novell) but we did get a SAMBA implementation that works out of it.

> You’re implying masks lead to happy hospitals, and masks are just a minor inconvenience.

Masks lead to fewer cases and yes that means happier hospitals. The science says that masks work and the majority of people accept that fact. Mandates work too, but only to the extent that they are followed and enforced. In fact they work so well that a certain embarrassed republican governor who had evidence that they work decided to try to hide that information from the public so he can keep pushing anti-mask lies to his base (https://missouriindependent.com/2021/12/01/missouri-health-d...)

The real problem with tracking the effectiveness of mask mandates comes from fact that case numbers and deaths are easy to track, but it's much harder to track the number of places that refuse to enforce the mandates that are in place or the number of people who decide to ignore the mandate or try to get around them by dick-nosing.

It's a difficult problem because there are a lot of reasons people oppose mask wearing. For some it's just simple petulance. Insisting on stricter enforcement of mandates just gets stronger push back from those folks who'll stomp their feet and take a very "You're not my mom!" attitude about anyone telling them what to do. Others have just been mislead by misinformation and they can be reached out to and informed but so many have made mask wearing political and it's extremely hard to get people to listen to facts that they've built an identity around rejecting.

Mandates aren't the ideal. I genuinely wish they weren't needed (both because community spread was lower and people had more faith in science) but because we're stuck with a percentage of the population that is anti-mask for whatever reason the best we can do is try to drag them kicking and screaming into doing the right thing by issuing mandates and hope that enough of the anti-maskers in our communities will do their part that it helps.
It's anecdotal I know, but my mother _did_ get -4 down to -1 just with exercises every morning and evening for several months, so I'm sure it _is_ possible at least with some individuals. It just requires work and dedication.

On the other hand for myself I did go for LASIK since I was -7 and didn't fancy the years of work it might entail. And it was like ... 2 day affair from going to the doctor to being fully functional without any side effects ... It was risky though as some people I know did do the same, and ended up with complications that took months to iron out.
Cool, gotcha. ;-)

I am interested in using video compression to improve delivery of VR and AR content over the web. But, this can mean a lot of different things! I know there is a lot of opportunity for this, I have a lot of ideas, but my knowledge of video compression and video streaming is limited. There are some companies working on this, but it’s not a singular problem or solution. I expect it will end up being many categories of solutions.

I usually like to learn about things from first principles so that I can then choose what to intentionally skip over, if that makes sense. I find the history is usually a good place to start, but it only goes so far with these more blackbox type topics like video compression.
Not to be a broken record here (eg [1]) but IMHO Apple has made a strategic error here. You never, ever want a court to define the landscape you wish to operate in. it ties your hands and could easily go against you. You are almost always better off seeking settlement to avoid those outcomes.

A 30% cut for small developers makes a certain amount of sense. It enables a lot of developers who would otherwise be unable to get a payment pipeline (or at least easily get one) to have a revenue model on the App Store. But it makes absolutely no sense to big publishers like Epic, Apple, Netflix or Amazon, who all have their own payment processors already.

A 30% cut on billions a year in revenue is a big incentive for challenging Apple's payments monopoly.

Apple instead should've offered volume discounts for "Partners", scaling down to 10% or even less. Being a Partner means abiding by certain contractual conditions. Challenging Partnership terms ends your sweetheart volume deal. This simply changes the math from:

- Win: Pay less than 30%

- Lose: Keep paying 30% (ie no loss). To anyone who thinks the likes of Amazon would be kicked off the App Store, you're crazy.

to:

- Win: Pay less than 10% (so the upside is smaller)

- Lose: Have to pay 30% instead of 10% (huge downside).

The truth is that Apple uses that 30% as a slush fund. it makes it's way back to bigger publishers in backroom deals ("incentives"). You, as a smaller publisher paying 30%, are paying for that.

Unfortunately I believe short-term greed got a hold of Apple management. When it was 30% of a new, much smaller market it made more sense. There are costs involved in running the App Store, vetting apps, hosting apps, etc. But 30% now? It's become a huge profit center.

So Apple may well lose control over payments because they're trying to hold on too tight to that cash cow.

Personally I don't think users want or would benefit from alternative App Stores. But being able to buy digital goods on Amazon like I can with physical goods (which was another carved-out exception) with my Amazon payment information? That's entirely reasonable and I think Apple is making it inevitable.

Man fixing it would be my dream too, especially with masks these days.

I'm eligible for LASIK but I'm still waiting for a non invasive treatment as well. I know it is "safe" but it can go wrong and after reading some of the horror stories in forums I would _hate_ it if it goes wrong. Even smaller side effects like having dry eyes all the time and eyes hurting when there is wind sounds annoying.
If there's a community that's going to hunt you down until they find the info they need in your ultraspecific, obscure, niche blog, it's metalheads.

> Why do I have to choose between a traditional app with poor ergonomics for developing frontend JS

You don't. The same JavaScript is not 20 year's ago JavaScript, PHP is not 20 year's ago PHP, etc, etc.

Not doing an SPA doesn't mean form POSTs for a like button reloading the whole page or doing jQuery spaghetti. MVC and server side templates rendering has come a long way too.

Some technologies that would make your reservation system trivial to implement with this approach:

- Hotwire (Rails). See https://hotwired.dev/.

- Livewire (Laravel). See https://tallstack.dev/.

- Unpoly (fw agnostic). See https://unpoly.com/

and there are many others.

The caveat here is that you need an open minded engineering team that are happy with using programming languages as tools to build something and not js/python/elixir fanatics which can't touch anything which is not js/python/elixir/etc.
Look up the discrepancies between exit polls and official tallies in any US presidential election since 2000. Discrepancies are common and only happen in districts in swing states where the electronic machines that don't have paper trails. Every single case of a large discrepancy shows an error in favor of the Republican candidate.

Similarly, Texas's Republican governor put out a bounty for documented evidence of voter fraud. The only pay out was for proof a Republican attempted to vote twice.

It's well-established that Gore won Florida in 2000, and therefore should have been president.

If this sort of thing really happens on both sides of the isle, how come there is no tangible evidence the Democrats thew an election this century?

The fact that a SWE with decades of experience needs "practice" to pass leetcode indicates two things:

1. Leetcode challenges aren't representative of the actual work. Or else years of shipping working software should be as good a practice as one needs. So is it sufficient grounds for rejecting a candidate?

2. Those who pass leetcode challenges need not have any real experience as long as they can commit to few hours to practice the toy problems. So is it a good criteria for passing the candidate to the next level, given others who were rejected on leetcode basis?

> Your master access to S3 should never go into your servers. Create an IAM access with authorization to only PUT objects into S3.

Isn't this precisely the approach I take in the article? But, you need to make sure the master access to S3 is not compromised as well. Probably obvious, but certainly not wrong.

> End note: this is still not enough. An attacker could compromise your backup script and wait for 40 days before locking yourself out of your data. When you try to recover a backup, you'll notice you have none.

I agree that's a reasonable attack scenario. Just as for any backup strategy, you'd need a monitoring strategy (i.e. try restoring a backup at least every X days), and that was left as an exercise at the end of the post.
What is FORGE?
The studies trying to find the link between genetics and IQ are flawed in that they don't have a way to handle the interactions between genes. Instead they are based on correlations.

If you will be good at baseball if you have A and B, OK with neither, but terrible with only one, those genes will be identified in most studies as having nothing to do with baseball, maybe even identified as harmful.

I can offer a concrete example. Autism is more often found in high-IQ families, but itself is associated with decreased IQ. That suggests one case where either A and B alone are harmful, having neither makes you fine (and unlikely to bear children with A or B), and having both makes you smart.

I am not sure if we want people to figure out how to make connections involving specific genes, because a lot of us benefit from living in a world where we can game LeetCode by working longer and harder in a way that's unrelated to what Google is looking for.

> I've always been a little surprised why we haven't figured out a treatment for myopia

Isn't the treatment for "treatable" myopia "spend more time in the sun"? IIRC, something about spending time in the sun prevents/reverses myopia in most children.

I also seem to recall that you can sleep in pure oxygen and it will change your eyesight (the cornea gets its oxygen directly from the atmosphere and high oxygen concentration encourages growth which thickens the cornea).

If myopia is structural though (misshapen eyeball, aged muscles not working to focus, etc.), what kind of non-surgical treatment would you expect to work?

One other problem that comes up is that the neural "integrators" in the human control systems get "leaky" with age. If you ask someone above about age 40 to look completely to the right or left, you can observe their eyeball "vibrate" as the saccades correct the integration error in tracking position.

(This was given as an exercise in a bioenginering class for "model the human eye tracking system". You had a series of observations you had to take and measure and then derive both the control system and the rough time constants. One of the observations that you had to account for was why the older grad students/professors had this "vibration". You could create this behavior if your "integrator" block was leaky.)
The Gameboy use a very similar system to make it harder to create cartridges not sanctioned by Apple. The cartridge would have to provide the Nintendo logo and the system would check it and then display it (there actually is a TOC/TOU vulnerability there that lets you display something other than the logo on startup). Because the cartridge had to provide the logo, not being licensed by Nintendo meant doing a copyright violation.

New characters have same glyph as old characters. It's the nightmare. For example, I can't find old one by searching new one. It's hard to know the reason for normal people.

Sounds like you’ll enjoy Swift Playgrounds.
Why CLion and not AppCode which seems more suited to the task ?
That'll squish the lens, but the overall shape of the eyeball is what causes the myopia in most cases.
Thank you, that's a reason at least.
