Lists tend to attract the "proscription" prefix, when in a political context.

Also, if you support the stance, you arguably don't want to make it easy for Russian/Belarusian users to avoid software, you want to maximize their inconvenience - which you do when they invest time into learning something and then find out they are technically not allowed to use it in production.

This said, it's all theatre anyway - I would bet good money that most Russian businesses already didn't care about respecting FOSS licenses, considering the infamously lax attitude about copyright enforcement in that country (and in China and Iran). So adding that sort of clause will stop absolutely no one, in practice, and I bet the authors will never even try to sue anyone in Russia (or anywhere else with some sort of jurisdiction over Russia, like the WTO) for infringing it.
Well, only 0.05 % of the world’s population live in Tokyo, so there’s no reason it wouldn’t make sense.

Bro. Why are you promoting so much an app that barely does anything (opens a series of images from a hosting), as 'pornographic application that change your life'?
They did the same for AV1, image size is 50% of HEIC (25% of JPEG) due to increases in coding efficiency.
H.264 patents are not expiring yet, if anyone was wondering. 2027 seems to be when that happens. On the other hand, I believe H.263 patents already expired, and MPEG-4 ASP (DivX etc.) is expiring this year.
Ha, yeah I remember doing many repeated mount/unmount requests on the school’s DECSystem20 before I realized it was a request for the human operator to find a magtape and thread it through the reel-to-reel.

The problem with both conspiracy theorists and non-expert "skeptics" is they both approach a phenomenon with their results already decided. It's just the conspiracy theorist has decided it's must be a conspiracy, and the "skeptic" has decided it must be some mundane thing with camera angles, and they both produce explanations to confirm their biases. They (especially the "skeptic") are just performing their identities.

And note the quotes around "skeptic," I'm not talking about people with real expertise in some area who show some crazy theory to be implausible or impossible.
Only you protect your career with o a union
Not saying running a ferry is the same as the tech work the readers do, but please keep in mind that the way things are now you're the only one responsible for your career. Your employment might terminate tomorrow on a whim or via outsourcing or acquisition. Living life on the knife's edge is fun, but the excitement pales as "responsibilities of adulthood" accumulate along with age. There are advantages that go along with the disadvantages of collective action. There's lots of cheap bodies that can cut code.

EDIT: In the age of remote work, keep these related question in mind: does your company need you? Do they need you where you're currently located?
28: Out of the Valley
Based on the article, I’d expect Apple was retooling their CSAM scanner to try to catch art thieves.

Jokes aside, I would like to use this opportunity to express something I really want: I really wish I could search Wayback Machine with perceptual hashes. Google Images has had search by image for a long time, but it seems to get rid of content after a while once it’s offline. Meanwhile, Internet Archive has a ton of images you basically can’t find elsewhere anymore, and depending on how it was archived, it may be very difficult to find it if you don’t already know the URL. For sake of preservation, that would be genuinely amazing. You could go from a single thumbnail or image and potentially find more images or better versions.

It’s not like being able to identify common objects and artifacts with a phone camera isn’t super cool, but its far from perfect and in some of its more novel use cases (such as helping blind people navigate) that can be troublesome. Nothing technically stops the aforementioned Internet Archive phash index except for the fact that there will probably never be enough resources to create or maintain such an index.
Does anything interesting happen if you take the frequency domain representation of an image, represent the frequency domain as an image itself, and compress that with some sort of image compression?

For example, encode the frequency domain representation as a low quality JPEG, and then undo the steps to turn it back into the "original". How do the JPEG artifacts on the frequency domain manifest in the resulting image?
You're correct, Sarus never sees the data. The software runs directly on the data infrastructure of the client. It's typically deployed on the public cloud for instance.

And here, of course, differential privacy only guarantees the data protection in the flow of data between the data source and the data practitioner. It should not be a replacement for other best practices like the ones you mention.
It is too obscure. Source: I am a fairly smart and well-read person and do not know the meaning of the word. You can't have a word that difficult in a game that has a win streak...it is like a reverse deus ex machina or something. Bam! You lose your streak for no reason!!!!
I wonder what the actually net benefit analysis is of our fast international trade. How much money have we saved by buying cheap foreign stuff vs the massive damage from stuff like lanternflys, emerald ash borers, snake heads, and potentially giant hornets?
Ok so K&R style is going to be removed (good!) as others have pointed out. The compiler could provide a tool to automatically update the function signatures, making it relatively easy to update legacy code.

Also, it seems to me that anyone who wants the best for C would want to get rid of the context-sensitive parsing. So that would include those on the standards committee. Here's hoping they can continue improving the language over time, albeit slowly.
I hate this presidence things like these set. I would hate code being split into left/right, and that's kinda the presidence set here

Apple won't add it; they traditionally ignore free codecs, and even if they implement them, it is so limited, so it is usable only in the narrow situation, where it is required (see Opus, for example).

On the PC side, decoding is supported by Intel (since Tiger Lake), Nvidia (since 30x0) and AMD (since RDNA2). On the mobile side, it is supported by bunch of mobile chip vendors, like Mediatek or Samsung; so you can have an android device that does support AV1 already; on OS-side it is supported since Android 10. Vendors like Amlogic also support it, so settopboxes are also covered.
Haha. Wait to see when you receive a file made in a different language ( for example an excel file with formulas created on a japanese language computer).

>On the other side, I have also been in government appointed committees that set housing policy and have had to listen to many “experts” explain that housing is the solution for homelessness and their suggestions is usually along the lines of “relax the codes and permitting process so builders can build more homes”.

This an artefact of lobbying by the building industry who can absolutely rake in profits building luxury housing but are restricted in terms of where they can do it.

It will absolutely nothing for the supply of affordable housing unless luxury housing is taxed to death and building affordable housing is engineered to be profitable, but they'll fight that tooth and nail. Nobody exchanges 16% profit margins for 4% willingly.

It might even make things worse if the stripped regulations are about mandating % of affordable homes in new developments (which theyd fucking LOVE) and it will probably ensure quality goes down the tubes.

Only public housing will actually solve the supply issue. Singapore is the best model here.
Oh, this is a tech focused forum so you might not know this, sometimes people take joy in writing and play with the language while otherwise still sharing their real thoughts.
>...and is in my opinion a good shout but wasn't really a rebuttal to any of the points raised.

True, but it was not somehow 'out of order' because it was not a rebuttal of the 'whitehat' claims. Given that the article is not primarily about how the author discovered the vulnerability, but the legal problems that ensued, it was not at all unreasonable to point out that acting in accordance with 'whitehat' behaviors and intent is not enough to shield oneself from legal scrutiny. Furthermore, the ensuing discussion, in which various attempts were made to deny this distinction, shows that the point needed to be made!

> Can't parents acknowledge they have some responsibility towards their own children and not give just blindly give them laptops and phones and expect someone else to clean up the mess after them.

This point is academic at best and hopelessly naïve. Practically speaking parents have significantly less control than you think.

I exercise extreme restriction and thoughtfulness around tech and social media in my home. However, my kids' school hands out mandatory chromebooks (despite my protests). When my children go to a friends house, I have very little control over the content they see or the devices they can get their hands on.

And it only gets harder from there. I have some friends with older children, and there's really no controlling what they access. Sure, you can refuse to give them a smartphone, for instance. That's not going to stop one of their buddies from giving them an old smartphone when their parents get them a new one. It also won't stop them from picking up a cheap prepaid android from the nearest Walmart for $40.

So to your original point, I don't think too many of us are "blindly giving them laptops and expecting someone else to clean up the mess". We're trying to hold back a tsunami of social media trash for the sake of our kids' wellbeing, and we're losing.

> an algo to find the optimal amount of parallel downloads

An algo...? Most download managers I tried simply had a set amount of threads they tried to open; the smartest ones will close some of those connections if they think they are being throttled, but that's rare.

That's just all there is to it: single-threaded downloads are severely inefficient in the age of multithreaded CPUs (and of operating systems without a finely-tuned network stack), so by leveraging parallelization anywhere you get a chance, you multiply the speed.
Apparently it's your problem because you feel the need to read long threads on Hacker News about it and get upset that other people don't like it when they don't get to hear the end of a story they were enjoying.

> The rest of us will enjoy the ups _and downs_ of life.

Yeah, this would be one of the downs. By definition, it doesn't feel good. Telling someone "enjoy feeling bad" is an oxymoron. If you enjoy it, it doesn't feel bad now does it?

"Their equipment losses:"

I'm skeptical of any list of equipment losses being comprehensive on both sides. We are very much in a fog of war situation.

The map you linked looks fairly dire to me. The Russians control the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea at this point, and all of Ukraine's eastern border. With Belarus to the north, it leaves Ukraine landlocked with only its western border for imports and exports (mainly via Poland). There's a cauldron

Russia has already captured many of the major cities east of the Dnieper, and it will be harder and harder for Ukraine to supply the eastern front, particularly across that river.

I think it's reasonable as an early-ish stage startup to say to a candidate that ~"eventually, with scale, there will be cool and impactful ML opportunities here" as long as you're realistic and upfront about the facts that ~"right now most of the impact is in simple but foundational analyses" and ~"there'll be some amount of fires to put out and rote work to automate".
I take the point and perhaps one could think about what is useful to the "middle ground" of the uninitiated e.g. the policy-makers looking for some guidance, the journalists trying to make sense of the claims and counter-claims.

What we're trying to do here is set out the claims clearly (and atomically) and evaluate them in as transparent and honest a manner as possible. So far I've not seen this a lot on the internet despite the huge amount of material on this topic.

Ugh. Lookit: it sucks to be forced to say anything at all, whether you agree with it or not. One thing I can say for certain is that my employer (and probably yours) is only into virtue signalling when it's 100% safe, everyone else is doing it and it has zero negative repercussions. I don't get to decide what my employer's stance is on licenses. I guarantee you that many people will end up moving away from these modules, not because they agree with Putin, but because they have to. Nobody wants the hassle or risk of auditing a million different licenses.

I'm an environmentalist. Should I update all my licenses to ban meat eaters, frequent flyers and drivers? Where does this shit end?
My experiences:

1. Had my own startup, I was CEO. At one point we had a good LOI-valuation, I was a paper-millionaire. In the end we failed to raise, failed and I didn't make any money. But at least I didn't invest/lose any of my own money, and exited without screwing anybody over. Only lost money on oppty-cost, ie. money that I could have made if I had a regular job.

2. Worked at a resonably successful startup for 3 yrs, started in 2012. When I left in I exercised 10,000 pieces of stock for $5,000. It's now 10 yrs after my start date, no liquidity in sight, company is not doing so great. Probably what those 10,000 pieces stock will be worth is 1 month of my current salary, so it's irrelevant now.

3. Worked at Facebook for 18 months (London, E5). Vested arond $100k of stock, payed ~55% taxes, sold stock right on vest date, made around $45k. If I would have kept it and sold at the highest point of the stock, it could have been ~$150k. Today it'd be worth around ~$75k (FB stock was cut in half in the last 6 months).

The upside of stocks: I do know people from Facebook who got early stock, and Facebook is the last job they'll have...

4. Worked at a delivery startup. At this point I was smart enough to ignore the stock and negotiate strong on the cash salary, so I made good risk-free money every month, but still vested a lot of stock. In the end the company failed, technically the stock was re-valued, so all my stock was worth something like $0.01. I did a great job managing my expectations, so I wasn't unhappy (I knew the CxOs are crooks and it's unlikely the company would be successful).

5. Current job at a non-tech BigCo doesn't have a stock component, just a high base salary, and no taxes (Dubai). This is the way.

6. The funniest stock story I have is from a job offer I didn't accept. This company gave me a reasonbly good offer with a stock component, where the stock contract had this specific language:

> ... shares issued under this Plan shall be "hypothetical" stock, which means that the Company gives the Employee the benefits of owning stocks in the Company without actually
giving the Employee stocks or shares certificates ...

The contract had 3-5 clauses in there which said that the CEO could essentially decide to void my stock at any time for any reason. I told the CTO that these are red flags, he told me he agrees, he had the same concerns, but blah. In the end the structure of the stock plan was one of the reasons I declined, it was a red flag for company culture.
Tried it for a bit. A great start.

- Half the memory usage on my machine compared to other graphical editors.
- It is extremely fast, though as all the missing features get added, we'll see if it stays that way.

Some basic QoL improvements needed
- Needs syntax highlighting for more languages (Ruby/JS in my case)
- Needs to use the system dialogs on Windows and macOS. Had a difficult time using other drive mount types. The built-in dialog would not open them at first.

I will be keeping an eye on this one. The only one that beats it speed-wise and memory wise is vim. :)
There are a few observational biases at play here:

* objects closer to the Sun are intrinsically brighter (as they are simply reflecting sunlight; their intrinsic brightness follows an inverse-square law[0])

* objects closer to the Earth are easier to see (for a similar reason: the amount of light that reaches us depends on those objects' distance from our telescopes; the combined effects of the above two points means that the observed brightness of asteroids approximately follows an inverse-fourth-power law far from the Earth)

* objects interior to the Earth's orbit are hard to see because the Sun is in the way (it's usually daytime when these objects are "up").

So, even if there was a uniform distribution of asteroids as a function of orbital separation from the Sun, an observed overdensity of objects should be apparent just outside the Earth's orbit.

Plus I can't even see how this simplifies anything, if you're posting to instagram it's surely simpler to skip the extra step and just use instagram's built in editor, even if you have to place the emojis yourself?

Or you could just not post those photos. What's even the point of posting a photo of your child, with the face hidden? Seems very niche. Just post another photo.

Casey Liss is a very anxious person, there is nothing wrong with that but if you make apps for people like yourself, it's an advantage to be more mainstream!

Not a horror story but just a disappointment story.

I had options at $10. I joined and the stock dropped all the way to $0.57 before rebounding to $5 when I left 5 years later in 2005.

During my exit interview the HR person says "Oh you have unexercised stock options."

I told them to look at the current price and my option buy price. They withdrew the question.

Besides the genius of the people involved.

In my opinion Oberon (and similar) is an example of a fundamental massive task (building an OS from scratch) actually becomes easier if the scope of the task is expanded (by creating a language suitable for the task).

Google has so many resources and so many dispersed projects that individually are world class (virtual machines, programming languages, UI design, OS microkernels etc.) but they don't bring them together to a coherent something that really could bring things forward.
How is this hypocritical? If someone says “[xyz] is your responsibility, not mine”, how is that inconsistent with their worldview on personal responsibility? They don’t just love responsibility for sake of it and don’t simply want as much as they can for themselves.
