> If governments didn't force people or companies to do anything then they would be allowed to do everything.

And that's okay. If consumers didn't like their products then they would stop buying them. iphones don't have replaceable batteries but people keep buying them because they don't see that as important. There are phones with replaceable batteries that consumers can buy if they want them.
When I talk to people about k8s, if they haven't containerized their apps yet, I generally recommend starting with a simple CAAS setup and then, if you need some of the flexibility and power that k8s provides, then move those apps into a cluster.

It can do a lot of cool stuff, but there's plenty of complexity there, and there are quite a few potential nasty surprises in there (from a security standpoint anyway, which is where I focus)
This impulse to block the Russian people from using western products is really gross, IMO. What have the Russian people done to anyone? Governments are to blame for the horrors going on in Ukraine. Not some oppressed citizen who has no say in the matter.

I hope that's not true. People (and bots) should not be reading mails addressed to them. (Analogous to it being illegal to read physical letters addressed to someone else)

Else maybe the EU needs to make some new laws again. :-/
I bought a 4x 2080Ti box from Lambda Labs a few years ago and am very happy with the purchase. It's powerful enough to train reasonably sized models, and I charge clients for the compute time at a rate slightly lower than what AWS or GCP would charge. I also mine ETH on it during downtime, and it's already more than paid itself off (I get "free" electricity from my commercial landlord.)

Finances aside, it's really nice being able to iterate locally on things like training/inference pipelines and model serving. My work is more toward the ML engineering space than it is research, so I don't spend much time in Colab.
Nope, but that’s an interesting application. Cognitive Science is a deep field, and I’ve just started scratching the surface.
What's actually needed is them both to keep each other in check.
I am going to give you a candid answer: I don't give a shit.

That answer is going to sound unpopular here, but deep down is how most people feel.
Every single time I see someone say “ML” I read it as meta language
I’ve seen some companies using development clusters and assigning namespaces per user. With MSSQL being able to run in containers they’re able to spin it up quickly and point it to a sanitized version of their production data. If they update MSSQL it’s just a matter of killing and spinning up a new container. Or you want to test an update just spin up the new version, point it to the same data, and run your tests.
I actually made it through the first 4 or maybe 5 seasons, and was pretty bored and underwhelmed the whole time. I found all of the characters except Amos and Bobbie flat and (unintentionally) off-putting. Unless I'm missing something, the plot and premises are nothing special. I consider myself a big fan of many TV drama series, as well as sci-fi, I just put this one near the bottom of my list. I just don't get what's so interesting about it. For reference, I consider (2000s) Battlestar Galactica to be an astounding masterpiece and among the greatest TV series of any genre, along every dimension you could measure a show by. I guess there really is no accounting for taste.

I've changed my mind before. I initially found Breaking Bad unwatchable, but eventually came around to thinking it's very good.
Not sure, I went straight to gopass. IIRC the CLI for gopass is slightly easier to integrate with other applications than pass, but that's just based on what I heard.
I think OP may be sloppily confusing Signal and Matrix here.
The link for the case for a link between Matrix and Israel is there : https://www.hackea.org/notas/matrix.html

"Matrix is not a community-based software, it was born [00] in Amdocs [01], a multinational corporation founded in Israel.

On the Internet we find many pieces of information connecting Amdocs with Israel’s Intelligence [02][03][04]. We do not know if it is because they wanted to wash their image, but allegedly Amdocs does not own the project anymore. A new organization, New Vector, was created for Matrix. Nevertheless the same people work there [05] and the project keeps being generously funded [06]."
I'm trying to switch to a better model for personal security. What is the reasonably secure stack for it? I currently use Vaultwarden and AndOTP but have been considering the Password Store and a Yubikey.
EU based: you can assume they filter search results.

Both because EU mandates this explicitly, and because there's a constant regulatory threat.

Freedom of speech isn't a credible principle in EU.
Who's Attacking My Server?
You could make an argument like that for almost any good. The truth is that comparative advantages matter and its simple impractical to manufacture or claw out of the ground every thing people in a given country might want. Cheap masks are a great thing in a pandemic. We could have simply been maintaining the stockpile that the government had for just such a purpose.

More simply put, Americans demand much higher wages than would make such a cheap mask possible. The cheaper a thing like a surgical mask is, the easier it is to use a fresh one every time you need one.

Also, my point about finding who uses Signal and the access logs (though it’s not a historic log, for which I stand corrected) stand — Signal does store the last access information.
Facebook's been extensively cooperative with Russia, so I hardly see a 'even Whatsapp (which belongs to Facebook)' argument there. It's probably more of a 'Russia cannot continue to pay us, so best wishes guys, you can have advocacy again when you're able to pay for it'. It's just business.

The smaller services that go UP against the tech giants and have Russian backing, those will be cooperating with Russia. I don't know if Telegram counts as that or not, as I haven't looked into it. But they exist, and a lot of 'em are left scrambling now as the money dries up.
There's manual syncing, and automatic syncing.

Manual: All clients I've seen have the capability to merge databases. So you have one copy of the database in whatever online file storage service, plus each device will have its own local copy. Pull down the online db, do a bidirectional sync between the two databases, push back online.

Automatic: some clients natively support webdav, dropbox, etc as the master copy of the db file and will transparently do the change syncing for you.
Yeah, human time is much more complicated than the strict linear clock. For certain past periods the former can generally be destructively mapped onto the latter. But as with a lot of things, programmers tend to confuse human intent with the post-intent "objective" record of the thing. Which I get, as the latter is much easier to deal with.
1. Why do you think they are EU bureaucrats who don't understand technical details?

2. Are you sure the others aren't focussing too much on a few technical details, losing the global perspective?
A more realistic issue is that Scotland currently doesn’t have an entry in the tzdb.
Investing in Your Team
I hope k8s and related needless complexities go away for the masses.

I would rather focus on building a product and clicking a couple buttons that allow millions to use it (managed solutions). Oh no it costs 10k, let me spend 1m+ on hiring people to play with configuration files.

Idk why companies are pushing for k8s at points when they could rather hire 10 engineers/tech team to build better and more features than fiddling around with y’all files and adding so many feedback loops through new “processes”.

Even when things work it takes a long time to A) get there organizationally and B) it still doesn’t work lol
I had the impression that the assingments for math are often like the first (dismissed) example with the breadboard.

Draw the rest of the fudging owl.
You say there's only so many translators. Yet, almost every time something is released there's thousands of people complaining that the translation is wrong. So who are these people?

You might not call them "translators" but they can speak both languages. There's lots of these people and I'm sure that if the work was well paid then many of them would jump at the opportunity. The issue is that it's not well paid. Those who want to do translation work and not live paycheck to paycheck often have different jobs and translate work as a hobby, e.g. many Anime and Manga translators.

Yeah. Bluetooth sound quality is perfect. Never ever drops out, has static, never sounds compressed either and you certainly don't have to consider what codecs and versions both devices support to get the best listening experience.

Is your MacBook battery easily replaceable or is glued in making it a danger to be removed by an amateur at home? And even if you never swap batteries how does having it removable effect you really?
The BL-5C is a great standard for internally mounted batteries, for externally mounted ones I really like the Sony NP-F550.
> ”print almost a ream of statements on the spot for me. I was almost in tears from the generosity of their time and effort”

Stockholm Syndrome. Tears of gratitude for a bank employee paid for their time and effort bypassing standard procedure says more than the article.
Except it's never a straight choice to a consumer.

If a company asked me do I want 50% more battery life or 1mm thinner, I'm going for the battery. And lots of people would. How many people moan about their battery, and how many say "ooo, I with this phone was just a hair thinner"?

But you don't get a choice, because it's all bundled up with other features to make it for you. Want NFC? Ok, you have to have the flagship model with the thinner case.

Oh, you want the bigger battery, sorry we don't actually do one because we only had one model called the FailChungus 0.1 with a big battery and no one bought it (never mind that it came only in brown and had a 480x480 screen).

Same for the 3.5mm jacks: no one has ever gone out and deliberately bought a phone without them. You just don't get a choice if you want everything else. I specifically got a non-flagship phone to keep that port, but I missed out on a lot of other stuff.

While it's nice to think that consumers lead these choices, I don't think that's actually what's happening: the illusion of choice is given but the companies gradually do what they wanted to do anyway.
Why do you think being allowed to do anything is about products and choice? If companies are allowed to do anything, then you get monopolies, wage slavery, then corpocracy. Environmental pollution, human rights violations. We don't even have real choices right now, and we especially wouldn't have if they were let go any further.
They are not geographically contiguous or traditionally aligned with Western Europe and the US, and so would never be allowed to join.

It’s basically a Western European ‘neighborhood watch’ that the US is also in as the representative for ‘the police’ (based on spending/contribution).
> GPS spoofer), surely I don’t want to alert the enemy to it, lest they develop defences

What normally happens is the GPS stops working and then you lose your satnav, so you dont know where you are going until you reset the satnav and even then it might not work. This is why Streetview logged all the wifi it could find and uses wifi to roughly place a phone in an area to make the gps locating algorithms faster.

Now it could be a way to get a jet to fly over enemy territory, but it could also be an excuse to false flag. Russia's Satnav is better around the north and south pole, the US is better around the equator from what I understand.

With the fog of war, its impossible for most people to know who is telling the truth, in much the same way its impossible to tell if a multivitamin contains what is claimed on the bottle, or some cheese has been aged for several years and not several months.

Society is constructed in such a way to be dependent on others and have to trust others which means you can be manipulated by more knowledgeable persons.

In other words we are all pawns.
The Great Unknown
That’s the thing: they’re already selling the service parts at a reasonable cost.

What’s “too cheap” in your situation is the highly automated, continuous conveyance, mass production line that can take in parts by the container load and pump out fully-functioning dishwashers for less than a week’s wages.
I don’t think it achieves that, though. I strongly doubt that one in a million people clicking on that button think about the privacy implications.

However, the cumulative frustration and time wasted by that button is probably quite large, across the world.
1Password started and currently has a self-hosted option. They are actively migrating to a SAAS model to justify monthly subscriptions instead of licenses.
“You know you could have just asked about alternatives instead of bringing up the thing you didn't want to bring up or discuss in the first place”

An attempt, perhaps, to head-off derailment, but here we are anyway.
A spare part does not need similar logistics or shipping - in the case of a dishwasher for instance the delivery of a dishwasher requires a 2-person delivery which likely costs c£60-£70 in the UK, while a motor would be sent through a parcel carrier for c£3.50-£5.

Sure, ordering and delivering all the parts separately and individually would be more expensive, but let’s also not pretend that selling and shipping spare parts is prohibitively difficult and costly.
I think we were doing well until you brought in some pap like Mulan.
You're a free market defender, and you think battery prices go up when there's more demand?
I don't think that it's quite so clean-cut as you say:

- Employers will have deadlines they must meet, regardless of whether they can find a translator at the price they would like before that time. There will be contractual penalties if they cannot manage this.

- Potential translators don't have to work for peanuts as a translator even if they need a job "today" to pay for food and shelter. There are jobs in other industries which may pay more than translation.
Well Signal is sitting on a centralized Google Cloud instance and Google can just issue a ToS violation, with the metadata that it is collecting about certain users on Signal that the three-letter agencies are looking for, including logs and phone numbers and that can essentially force Google to get them shutdown.

Even without it, Google can shutdown any instance whenever it wants to on its own terms since that is another private platform and can choose to do business with whoever they want to.
I had a vague idea this was how malloc usually worked. Per-thread arena and pass pointers back to the allocating thread on deallocate.

Paper claims freed pointers tend to go in the freelist of the thread that called free, not back to the allocator.

Sending pointers back to the original probably has positive effects on cache locality when the block gets handed out again, effectively defragmenting the distribution of freelist stored blocks over time.
Ranking search results by definition cannot be unbiased.

Why even have multiple brands? Why not just have the government enforce a single manufacturer for each type of item and standardize everything? They could plan if all centrally and… oh wait.

Ask any Detroit auto design shop and they’ll tell you an auto maker’s parts bin (parts they can throw into every new vehicle to avoid needing to set up more logistics pipelines) often hurts more than it helps in terms of improving on pain points in building and using cars; Tesla’s octovalve is the testament to what can be improved when you don’t have to use existing parts to fulfill a function with headroom for improvement in terms of weight and efficiency.

Fuzzing with AFL – Part 2: Trying Smarter(Apache)
It's perfectly true today if you ignore the recent price hikes which happen under different forces (silicon shortage, crypto stuff). An OEM might be cheaper because they will put in lower quality stuff you'd never buy yourself (the absolute cheapest part that fits the bill, the cheapest motherboard, the worst thermal paste), and they have to cover extra services, warranty, building and distributing the systems, etc. I think you can still get cheaper and/or better systems by yourself.
Lol isn't Asbmil the one with the legendary fall of 2021 tweet saying „US intel is trying to fool you all, Russia will never invade, idiots“?

Also, if the „western narrative“ is one of condemning the most blatant international military aggression since WWII for the gain of a handful of oligarch… I guess I am pro-Western then.

I really can't see any reason to subscribe to any other narrative here.

The two sides are completely unequal.

> The seeming ridiculousness of the price difference is another way of looking at how hyper-efficient modern mass manufacturing is.

Reminds me of the Planet Money multipart story where they made a tshirt, from scratch. Bought cotton from a farmer, shipped it to a textile industry, contacted a tshirt making company, shipped it to the US.

The bulk of the cost in the end came from transporting the tshirt from the harbor to the store where it was sold.
The main issue comes from code like this (https://godbolt.org/z/GY5baP18q):

#include <stdio.h>

typedef int int_func(int x);
void print_result(int_func *func, int x) { printf("%d\n", func(x)); }

int f(int x) { return x; }

_Alias f_alias = f;
static int_func * const f_ptr = f;

void doesnt_work(int x) {
print_result(&f, x);
print_result(&f_alias, x);
//print_result(&f_ptr, x);
//error: incompatible pointer types
}

Since &f is of type int_func *, an alias to f must behave such that taking its address still results in an int_func *. Otherwise, existing code is broken, as shown above, since f cannot be replaced with f_ptr in the expression.

This is what _Alias is meant to solve: it's perfectly transparent, in that the end-user has no way to distinguish whether the name comes from the original declaration or an _Alias. This allows libraries to modify the external name of a function, without breaking code that depends on the syntactic name of the function.
You're intentionally warping the prompt here. It was very clear, and you're playing dumb because you have a political bias to promote.
1. You have to install the 1Password CLI tool (and the LastPass tool?) separately, it is not part of the GUI application
2. It stays unlocked for some duration (I think it was configurable, can't remember), and does _not_ just give away credentials to anything that asks once that duration has passed

So yes, you can do what you claim, as long as you first install the CLI tool, and then tell it to stay unlocked for some time. Or you know, just don't do that.
How secure is 1Password? I have been using it for 4 months. Should I switch to Bitwarden?
I'm not surprised by this move – the UK's conservative government is very fond of trying to control the internet, and since the "Snooper's Charter" went live in 2016, but apparently half the young population of the UK know about VPNs and 25% tor specifically for getting around blocks on pornography [1] – so clearly, these commercial complaints are doomed to fail.

I personally have never used Apple's private relay, but I have encrypted all my traffic since Snooper's Charter. The fact that the industry bodies are complaining about it -- effectively complaining that they can't spy and snoop on their users, often for commercial gain -- makes me think it is effective.

Enthusiastic DDG user, here.

I don't understand the mental gymnastics that sees filtering out propaganda as "biased".

I see it actually as the opposite, as removing an intentional bias, as removing an intentional manipulation by the propaganda agent himself.

Compare to spam-filtering in your email: when you remove the noise, you get a better signal/noise ratio. When you hide information under a pile of noise you are actually "biasing".

There is no such thing as political-neutral information.

And if you believe that you alone, as an individual, have all the resources to efficiently filter out political manipulation in the information you receive then you're probably very close to the QAnon bunch.

> That's the cost of that part, being delivered to the assembly line, in bulk quantities, at a regular, predictable order cadence from the upstream supplier

I am not buting this reasoning - the assebly line costs money to run, worker's time and salaries need to be paid, quality control and warranty to be done. A part sold by itself needs none of those things.

While you are taling to me about how difficult logistics of a $200 part justifies a 500% markup, i can buy a $3 led from China with free shipping. This doesnt add up
I'd say that Asp.Net Core is a totally different from original Asp.Net. It is architected and implemented so well I still am amazed sometimes after working with it for a couple of years now.

In fact, most of the problems stem from the fact, that the EU did not agree on a new cookie law (ePrivacy directive), which promised that you can set your preferences once (e.g. in the browser) and make sites agree to them. But no, lobbying was big and the law was delayed indefinitely.

GDPR was never(and never intended to be) a technical law, it is by name "general"! You get the same "notification" if you walk into a public space where security cameras are installed.
