I think there are other, more effective, mitigations in place against the threats you are describing. First, there's no automated way to install CAs on Android. Users must do this step manually (the articles you linked are about Windows). Second, if you have installed a user-added CA, you get a prominent and permanent notification – non-dismissable, reappears after reboot – that your network traffic may be monitored. All this stops the "secretly-added CA" threat.

Finally, the current implementation is not effective at protecting against country-level MITM. Attempts at country-level MITM have been thwarted by browser updates to blacklist the respective CA certs, the same can be done on Android.

I agree those are legitimate threats that need to be addressed, but there are better ways to do so, which don't come with the convenient side effect of killing privacy research.
Isn’t Dart a very JS-like language? I really don’t believe that compiling to JS would cause any bottlenecks at all, like compiling Java to JS is also possible with Google’s own Closure compiler which produces crazy fast JS output.

Sure, JS is not a good compilation target but if you have a sufficiently similar language it is not too hard, and with the man-hours spent on JS JIT-compilers these won’t be slow at all.

Though surely the render codepath could use wasm, but that could be written natively as well without a need for GC.

As for WebGPU, I don’t think a web app would be okay with the latency of compiling shaders. Not sure whether it will be needed, or if it can be cached but it is not a trivial win either.

Five Things You Still Can't Do with a MacBook Pro
The state and federal governments are both “sovereign,” and the states were there first, exactly like the EU. Some people think that the states are obsolete and should be absorbed into the federal government, but that’s definitely not how sovereignty works. (Ukraine has existed as a distinct sovereignty for less time than South Dakota, but they seem pretty fixated by these arbitrary lines on a map!)

> The extra crazy thing in the US is that its sovereign government acts as though it is permanently beholden to dusty old documents (a written "Constitution"), or rather, to the very modern interpretation of those documents by partisan hacks in its "Supreme Court". This makes no sense, and Americans shouldn't put up with it.

I’d lecture you about the concept of “laws” but let me try a different tack. A bunch of Americans are flipping out right now because the Supreme Court refuses to invoke those “dusty old documents” to overturn a validly enacted law from a duly elected legislature. Who are the “partisan hacks” here?
Sadly chain restaurants are your friend now. PF Chang's has never poisoned me with their gluten free. Red Robin's are pretty good about their gluten free but ask them and make sure they know you are actually celiac, the waitress will normally tell you if the place is safe for celiac or just kind of 'gluten free'. Make sure they have a dedicated fryer for their frys, the whole swapping it out is not good enough for celiacs. No other chains have been consistently safe enough 'gluten free' to risk on a business trip for me. Big surprise is the Thai places around me don't have gluten in their soy sauce so they are safe if you order smart/tip well enough that they make sure not to cross contaminate, so you might check with them to see if they will let you look at their soy sauce label, but obviously don't try out places like that on work trips. 'The sickness' in a hotel with jet lag and having to be 'on' to meet clients sucks.

Be careful with things you think are safe. Tortilla chips can have too much cross contamination so experiment when it's safe to 'get the sickness' and find what works for you. When my daughter and I were first diagnosed we couldn't drink coke because the carmel color supposedly had gluten. Some craft rootbeers/dark sodas still have the 'bad' natural color not the 'good' artificial one. Another tricky one that got me a lot until I figured it out, red wine can use a wheat paste to seal the barrels. So cheap steel aged reds only. Red wine is the only thing that gets cheaper when you go gluten free :)
Several comments here seem to imply that the answer to the title is 'yes'. Reading the article appears to imply either the opposite or no effect.
Pick N random numbers between -0.5 and 0.5. Square them. Then add them up. How does the probability that {sum of these N positive values exceeds 1} change as the N increases?

I think anyone with a basic understanding of arithmetic should be able to answer that.
- In some ways, the proportion of notables (5%) is comparable to the membership of the Communist Party of China compared to the population of China. Actually makes me optimistic.

- I keep seeing this author advocate for long terms and staggered elections. I understand, a little, why that makes sense in a system where the vote is decided by low-information voters, although I feel it still makes the government far too oligarchical and too unresponsive to changing conditions - voters should not have to wait a decade to change a government. In a system with notables who actually pay attention to politics, protecting the politicians makes no sense at all - elections should be frequent, since the notables should know enough to semi-responsibly choose politicians. (Maybe 6-12 months - 1 month is still a short enough time for a "current thing" to dominate Twitter and throw out politicians for silly reasons, and I'm assuming the notables would in effect be Twitter power users.)
The same was as how no circles can, not matter how many of them there are, fill a cylinder.
You're right! Here is some more context:

* Bachelor in CS, and I kept an interest in computing/programming languages, although I don't have much to show for it.
I do have some scientific julia code, but it's closer to the hackish academic-type dump of code than a well architected endeavour.

* I'm coming from pure maths, and I have very little experience with computational aspects of analysis/geometry.
I also have pretty much no knowledge of probability/statistics.

* I _do_ feel like it wouldn't be too hard learning the prerequisites for the above, given a few months and a good textbook.

* Re what kind of maths/development I'd like to do: I guess pretty much anything where there is a relatively strong "research" component.
Not necessarily meaning pure research, but where it's not just about applying methods, but also about developing them and understanding the problem and solution space before "rote application", if that makes sense.
If I was super sold on the end goal of the company, then I guess I'd naturally put less weight on those "requirements".

* Typically, I've been interested in compilers/PLT for quite a long time, but that's typically the kind of thing relatively far from my field. There would probably be quite a steep learning curve, and I'd be in competition with people that actually studied that, hence little chances of success there.

* My university was a small European local university, with a small maths department (third tier, as some might say).
I don't feel like I was a particularly bright student, and I also figured that PhD students weren't necessarily as intelligent/productive/creative as one might believe from outside.

Re game theory: I would have guessed it wouldn't be kind of useless! Doesn't it at least provide you with a good perspective/insight into plenty of real life problems?

I struggled to follow parts of this article. She discussed taking to the CTO about bad insurance, and then followed that section with “I got hired.” The whole thing meanders and barely has a point or provides evidence, and I’m not truly convinced it’s a singing ship. That said, I do defer to ex-employees on this matter.

I’m mostly looking for alternatives because people keep saying I should (and I could possibly get double the ram for the same price). But I just git push heroku mastered 5 minutes ago and it took about 1 minute to build, and it was wonderful.
And the courts put a stop to it. There were several cases against various companies over the years, but there don’t seem to be any since 2014. Did engineers salaries suddenly jump as a result 6 years ago? Is there any evidence of significant collusion since?

I have a theory that all the good melodies were already squatted by the classical masters before 1900 and therefore we now have to deal with all the dissonant modern crap that's usually inserted at the beginning of every concert program these days.
I am forever thankful for California community colleges. I did not the best high school slacked off mostly c's doing the bare minimum. Went to local community college loved it took so many amazing classes with great teacher. I transferred to uc Davis with admissions under contract if hekd certain gpa. Cost me about 4k for two year in fees and books. At uc Davis for 2 years 30k. I learned more at my community college than a pretty decent public research college. Still uc Davis was worth it worked as student employee doing computer support. Turned that into full time job at the college as computer programmer and then gotA
e jobs making way more doing the same thing. Never got CS degree just got chance to some cool things I had no business doing. All thanks to community college

This. I have a sales person and a designer that maintain our Wordpress instance. I login to the admin panel once every few months. Mostly these people do everything by themselves.

Among the things they've done recently:

- a major web site redesign (custom styling and look)

- added translations (via a plugin)

- updated how we gather analytics

- added a hubspot integration

I don't know many platforms where that can happen without technical people getting involved. All the next best options are SAAS platforms like shopify, squarespace, hubspot, etc.

None of us have any php skills (well, I deny having them and tend to not touch it). It's not perfect. But it's there and it works. For me the main value is that it can do what it does without me needing to be involved. We spend a few days setting it up at some point and making sure it gets updates. That's it.

It's not surprising wordpress market share is declining. I'd actually recommend new companies to pick one of the SAAS options. Even with wordpress, getting somebody else to host it for you is probably wise (there are a few good companies in this space).

Good luck refusing if it is an edict from some governments.
It was entirely vaporware. The demo was on rails/fabricated.
to start off, i do not "understand" the "homeopathy" to either dismiss it as mumbo jumbo and dangerous but my granddad was a medical practitioner and he is said to have used homeopathy but not in the sense people use it now.

i'm told he strictly used it literally as a placebo ONLY when he knew the cause of the "problem" was not physical or something wrong because of infection or something. I'm told he would treat patients with depression by counseling without telling them (usually family members) and prescribing this "white medicine" to keep up appearances.

i'm told he never treated anyone outside of this usecase because well, there are medicines for that purpose.

remind you this is from 50 years ago when my town had 3 hospitals in total and there was no "medical equipment" like we have currently or that were available in major cities. Call it the neck of the woods so its not like there was modern medical care available but patients didn't seek it. He was the physician of his time and pretty successful at that.
>like that I’m probably not gonna buy a second air fryer immediately after buying a first one,

this comes up all the time, but one of the primary indicators that {person} will buy a second {item} of type {X} increases when they have already bought one.

However it does seem to me that I have never done this, even when I am unsatisfied with item, I soldier on for at least a year or two before saying aw screw it, perhaps the machines would be more impressive if they could recognize what people will and will not ever buy a new expensive item immediately again after buying one.
The LIDL sold me one 70euro a few years ago and it works marvels.

> The Council of Ministers only nominates the various members of the Commission

That's not right, in practice. Each member government appoints a commissioner. The Council of Ministers is nothing more than an ad-hoc meeting of relevant ministers from member governments, whose membership varies depending on what is being discussed. The parliament always approves all the proposed commissioners. The parliament can dismiss a commissioner, but only by dismissing the entire commission. This has only ever happened once, when it became obvious that most of them were crooks.

> fraud carried out by Greece itself, without the EU's knowledge

There was "fraud" by Greece; they weren't prepared to balance their budget. But actually everyone knew about it; it wasn't fraud in the sense of covert shenanigans. Government budgets tend to be public information. Germany, in particular, wanted Greece to accede.
So the guy will be in jail for gun possession not for selling drugs. Absurd, but I can understand the reasoning for the guns (he was a felon), but he should have the right to defend himself too.

> Human beings are silly, I would say without exception - News at 11.

I dont think they are silly. I think that they prefer to good relationship with that political branch over telling truth. They think it makes them sound like smart and rational and dont mind throwing others under the bus in the process.

E.g., they have priorities.

> "Fair to say" and "correct/true" are very different things.

Ok, I will say out loud, it is correct thing to say.

> It is supreme court justices that would be banning it, not elected representatives.

Supreme court did not came out of skies. They were put in place by politicians who picked people guaranteed to make political decisions.

> Abortion banning wasn't the only claim.

No. But it was part I 100% agree with.

It's not just about the updates. If the deploy fails, then your push should also fail. That way your deploy branch is always a reflection of what's actually deployed.

When are sex and sexual orientation synonyms?

Some children in kindergarten through grade 3 have parents in same sex relationships. Some socially transition. An actual detail of the law is it prohibits even age appropriate discussion at those levels.

Another poll found 62% of Americans oppose legislation that would prohibit classroom lessons about sexual orientation or gender identity in elementary school.[1] Are Florida Democrats much more conservative? Do many Americans think grade 4 is the right time? Did the people who said somewhat no in the Florida poll mean yes with limits?

It’s not actually a driver. Note comments like “Initialize driver-specific stuff” in the code.

Mesa refers to https://docs.mesa3d.org/systems.html and Vulkan refers to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulkan

To quote the linked blog post:

> This blog post will be a tutorial of sorts (we won't have a functioning Vulkan driver in the end, sorry)

> First off, every driver needs a name. We're not actually writing one here but it'll make the examples easier if we pretend we are. Just for the sake of example, I'm going to pick on NVIDIA because... Why not? Such a driver is clearly missing and really should happen soon. (Hint! Hint!) We're going to call this hypothetical new Vulkan driver NVK.

That said… NVIDIA did release a Vulkan driver in January 2022 which supports Vulkan 1.3 so… this blog post is slightly outdated. But it certainly does not include or reference work on an actual NVIDIA driver.
That's not surprising if you look at how a square with a circle turns into a cube with a sphere that's made of progressively smaller circles.

What's surprising is that volume of a n-ball reaches maximum in 5 dimensions and surface of an n-sphere - in 7 dimensions.
LGPL is not about dynamic linking, and there are plenty of LGPL (and even GPL) apps in the Apple, Android, Mac and Windows app stores. Like, Chromium itself is mostly LGPL and it's never an issue for electron apps, why would it be for Qt ones
I remember seeing some evidence recently that the application of ice to reduce inflammation likewise lengthens the healing process. Seems similar. Inflammation can cause acute pain, so reducing it provides some immediate relief, but also interferes with its beneficial effects.

> why hasn't Microsoft leadership, running a multi-billion dollar company for decades, already devoted appropriate resources to create an essentially perfect terminal/console, something so discrete and simple and fixed in feature-set?

competing priorities, lack of customer interest, lack of need, desire to keep backwards compatibility, additional support workload, probable belief that they had a good enough terminal, they couldn't find the right people (the project lead for the new terminal was hired into Microsoft specifically for that position, leading me to believe they didn't have anyone internally who was qualified or interested enough to take the job), and because a fully compatible terminal is not trivial to make.

they can't go back in time and make it, they can only change what they're doing now, and Terminal is getting better all the time.

complaint about behavior that is no longer happening is just masturbation, plain and simple.
Huh? I used it last week to make a reservation.
I don't know. If people only want even numbers, why do they insist on using a system that can also produce odd numbers… and pretend that it needs fixing when the output is "wrong"? At some point, it might be simpler and more effective to just own your aversion to odd numbers and switch to a system that always produces even numbers, "odd" ones be damned.

the requirement is to fix governance not 'fix democracy'.

Political systems are (theoretically) there to serve the people, if they stop doing so we need to iterate on the system or replace it with something else. It's like trying to 'fix Visual Basic'. No, what is the problem you are trying to fix with VB, if VB is no longer the right language, swap it out for something else.
