It's super annoying when people don't mention the names of the products used and where they sourced them.
It has not had a release since 2019 though.
Plenty of existing laws take intent into consideration so its not unreasonable to suppose that a log that happens to accidentally contain some information that it shouldn't before being destroyed and the bug patched would be quite legally distinct from a log containing the same information but has a business unit processing and profiting from it.
I don't really understand the point of a news article where not even a poll is used.

Just saying "they've heard anecdotes" does nothing but reinforce existing biases that everyone here will have.

Hard data will at least convince some people who have biases but trust scientific processes to change their opinions.
I’m a startup co-founder, so day to day can be a lot of different things. But it’s something like this:

1. log on to Slack in the morning and see if there’s anything that needs attention. We use slack as a central hub. All of our tools funnel activity into slack. My team is small (3 full time, 2 part time contractors). Most of my team works over night and into the morning (very different time zones). Typically when I wake up, there’s a few PRs for me to review, or questions to answer on a ticket in linear. We also have a check in bot that runs once per week. No real need to do daily checkins.

2. After I catch up and respond to any questions (which most likely will be read by people that night or the next day) I see if I have any sales meetings. Since we’re a startup it’s still founders in sales mode. I might have a demo or 2 each day. This is probably my only non-async activity.

3. Outside of sales work, I also write code, review design work, and field customer support questions. So the rest of my day is a buffet of random stuff.

As far as politics go. There really isn’t any. The team is pretty small. We might have a disagreement on how a feature should be implemented or something like that, but I’m the deciding factor and everyone is a professional so it’s not a problem.
Same on DoH.

I can’t filter it or redirect it like I can with plain old DNS.
It doesn't exist in English Wikipedia. If you find this weird, my guess is this acronym must have gotten more (mainstream?) attention in Germany (despite being in English).

I've never heard of it and I don't think it's common where I am (Canada). Sometimes people coin terms and they get picked up in some places, but not others.

When I lived in Germany and the Netherlands, it was often surprising to me which foreign terms/concepts/artists get elevated to mainstream relevance. There's a lot of imported culture from English speaking countries, but it's through a specific filter.

Here's an English source from the article you shared though: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/may/27/jaron-lan...
How has it helped users? Two of the largest tech companies are adTech, tracking ads are still everywhere. All we got are cookie banners that are worse than the ads. Ads are much easier to block.
there are fundamental math that appear in all other math. i think calculus is one such math, and perhaps probability (even more true given you’re pursuing machine learning). for both subjects i almost self-teach using calculus made easy (https://www.calculusmadeeasy.org/) and probability for the enthusiastic beginner (https://scholar.harvard.edu/david-morin/probability). both are fairly self-contained although the sometimes take shortcuts that can be dizzying at times. but since you’ll proceed at your own pace, you’re about to make a diversion to investigate, further, why they were able to take those shortcuts. check them out and see if they help. otherwise i’d like to know what worked for you :)
I went to UW Seattle ~15 years ago, and some of the CS classes there were a fucking joke

I got a 2.7 in my CS classes because I had perfect scores on the tests and homework, but the teacher decided to make a huge percentage of your grade consist of quizzes about random factoids from the book that had literally nothing to do with computer science. (Literally: "What color was the elephant on page 12?") The book cost like $200, so I decided to just study from other books and the lectures and eat the loss of GPA

Man, I wish I could remember that professor's name so I could send him some hate mail..
The DOJ is investigating anti-trust violations, which are arguably unrelated to Apple offering more privacy for consumers.
It’s really unfortunate that the response to this blog post was to gum up CSS forever instead of fixing the browsers to do reasonable things with `system-ui`.
> Just saying "they've heard anecdotes"

That's what a journalist does. They go out and listen to people and they tell you what they're hearing and provide context to it.

You want a scientist - that's a different thing.

Both are useful in practice.
I think they are suggesting that not just the tiles can be rendered, but also the shape of the board. You can have the edges around the board just be a dead zone, so it fits into a standard rectangular TV/monitor.
And corn syrup, what is it made of?
They were way ahead of their time. Bear with me for this explanation. To quote [1],

> f-number of an optical system such as a camera lens is the ratio of the system's focal length to the diameter of the entrance pupil ("clear aperture").

In other words, this is a relative number. And as far "being sharply in focus" (stated reason for f/64 style) is concerned, for the same field-of-view angle, smaller sensor would require proportionally more open f-stop number to exactly match the look. 2-inch sensor with 90-degeree f/2 lens, would produce exact same depth-of-focus as 4-inch sensor with 90-degree f/4.

According to [2], Adams was using 6,5×8,5 inch negatives around the time (let's call it 8 inch "sensor"). Compare that to the 1/2 to 1/4 inch sensors [3] of iPhone 13. So what aperture latter would need to exactly match the picture f/64 group wanted?

(1/64) × 8 / (1/2) = 1/4 = f/4

(1/64) × 8 / (1/4) = 1/2 = f/2

As luck would have it, f/2 is pretty much bang-on the aperture of the same iPhone. In other words, when you take a photo with a current-gen smartphone, that photo would have, give or take, exact same depth-of-focus that group f/64 wanted. Everyone is group f/64 now.

I'm glad the market is segmenting into people who want to work remote and people who don't. I am among the latter but lots of people I respect are in the former group.

I don't think I'll work on a remote team for a long time but it's important that what's good for a lot of people is doable by them.
But are scientists able to guess with high accuracy whether an arbitrary situation will be a measurement or not?
We use it at https://tandem.chat. I work on the AV stack. WebRTC is pretty awesome.
I am beginning to think that many remote developers will eventually become 1099 contractors who can pick up random gigs.

Because let’s be honest, the reason most of these folks are doing this is because they don’t give a crap about the specific company or anything like that. They just want to build cool shit that other people spec out. As long as the pay is competitive one day they might be building a healthcare mobile app, another day an online car dealership portal.

Honestly, I think that is where it’s headed. I know if I went back to being a dev who did 95% of my shit remote, I would much rather be a 1099 “arms length” contractor then I’d be W2 “real employee”. If you are going for the flexibility that remote brings, you might as well make it fully flexible and just be a contract developer… after all you already decided you didn’t give a shit about company politics or culture… you just want to write code! So just become a contractor!

... a male student, a female student, an attractive student ...

And yes, this is actually a well-known problem in Italy - with (typically male) professors being routinely accused (and occasionally convicted) of favouring attractive (and typically female) students.
I have pretty much this existing setup. One thing I'd add is that it's quite noisy. If you have somewhere you can put it, and your house is all cat 6'ed up then great. But if like me you have it in the same room as you, you wil notice it. And it's not the pc, the fractal case has very quite 120mm fans, it's the HDDs.
This speaks to the heart of the issue to me.

Personally I always loved STEM topics, and would go out of my way to learn about them. This ended poorly for me in school, as I ended up being incredibly bored in the STEM classes, as they were filled with content I already knew. Then the other topics I didn't love, and largely did not like to experience them. So in the end my satisfaction was miserable, and I dropped out of 7th grade.

Eventually I got a GED and went to college for CS, but it was that time in-between those two that even allowed that to happen. I needed time to explore the world, find what I wanted to know, and figure out how school can help me get there.

As someone on the other end of the hiring table now, I don't even care about knowledge. Knowledge tells me how far you've got. I don't care how far you've got, I want to know how quickly you pick up the material based on the job I'm hiring for. I care about acceleration. While the two can be correlated, it's not precise. There's not a single hiring test that I can do to figure out someone's acceleration. What I do know, that testing the farthest on some topic as a metric, like leetcode does, it's going to fail every single jack of all trades programmer.
Amazing. I wonder if they speak English too, I'd love to join.

Can confirm, pihole is great. I put in two for redundancy, helps make sure nothing gets through. No negative impact on network perf, as it only touches DNS and plenty fast for that.
Option C, help the others students that cheat, let them copy your work, or even help them directly with the work. (Especially for things like home exercises, if not actual exams).

After you graduate, you will have a network of friends that consider you a super-smart, trustworthy, loyal and friendly person.

Chances are, you will learn more than the rest, and end up with a high GPA. And some of the lost opportunity to socialize in bars and clubs, and build networks that way, will be compensated by the relationships with people you helped.

Btw, this same behavior can still work once you're in a job. If you get a reputation as someone who can provide help when people are stuck in some difficult problem, and not shaming them for it to their boss, that tends to reflect positively back to you over time.

How is this even a question?

If you want E2E encryption, you sacrifice good full-text search, because you have to build the index on a computer that has access to the plaintext, which means doing it on an endpoint. It’s not as nice as doing it on the server.

If you want to hide metadata, the state of the art is onion routing, and that adds a lot of latency. The only other way that’s even been attempted is Enclave computing, which basically just moves the trust from the service operator to the enclave vendor. Enclave computing is better than nothing, but it belongs in a defense-in-depth approach, not a privacy strategy in itself.

And if you want to avoid fingerprinting, you lose responsive design. Those two things are just directly in conflict here.
Good point. The modern mainstream news is worthless sensationalist click bait nowadays.
Have your gateway/firewall block all traffic from the LAN IP of the device from exiting the LAN.

If it's running on Win/Mac/Linux/Android/iOS, block the app from talking to the gateway, or even the entire LAN.

I'll agree with you that it can definitely be useful. I just don't see the usefulness in this particular instance. Work From Home is a heated topic that is sharply divided between types of personalities so articles like this will just cause circular arguments IMHO.
Can you expand on this more?
I would say that's backwards. Sure, politics is slow, but we've seen it succeed exceptionally with aerospace safety (meaning planes built to protocol and maintained to prevent crashes, not TSA security theater) which is an insanely impressive global feat.

Tech has the most impact on user privacy, but there's no financial incentive to uphold privacy and so the slow political stick is required.

Meanwhile users can do their best installing ad blockers, navigate the snake-oil fields of VPN vendors, estrange themselves by quitting social media, set a different search engine on all their devices (which probably still use Google/Microsoft), maybe look into TOR and Whonix, ensure they use email masks and unique usernames for every service, buy Twilio numbers for account sign-ups, get their contacts to use E2E-encrypted messengers and PGP, get a dumbphone that doesn't have GPS enabled at all times, a laptop with camera/mic killswitches. It's not clear which of these steps are excessive or impractical for the layman, aside from ad/tracker blockers.

So the tooling to uphold user privacy is there, but it's nuts to think the solution is for everyone to adopt better privacy-preserving habits rather than slowly killing the business model of the personalized ad industry. A great byproduct of this is that governments will see less surveillance tech vendors to buy from.
The beautiful thing about learning math is it is incredibly well curated up to about 3rd year university. Suggest re-taking the high school courses over again via correspondence. Since you are interested and motivated it will not take you long at all. Then move on to first year calculus and linear algebra - either by correspondence or audit the actual class. I don't think there are any shortcuts up to this point. After this it is reasonable to self-curate the material based on your particular interests.
Logical principles of design do exist. I don’t see many here.
News can't work if you want to wait for a peer-reviewed study for everything.

It's legitimate for journalists to report what they're hearing less formally than that.

And that's how it's always been - it's not a new thing.
Did this for a while but also wanted to do two loaves at once. I started baking on a steel plate and added a tray with water soaked lava rocks in the oven. It turns out pretty much the same as baking in the Dutch oven for me.

I agree, and I'll go further. Jan Tschischold didn't think we should use serifs unless text is justified. That convention was one of Wikipedia's main reasons for settling on sans-serif for body text.

The page's creator should be giving reasons why his "great" example defies a basic typographical convention. This webpage seems to be all headline.
Norvig's Scheme interpreter is a good starting place as well. Using Python as he did someone can do it in a couple of hours. It might take a bit longer if translating to another language at the same time. Someone can get a taste of what's involved and then move on to those more elaborate implementations.

>completely subjective because it depends on what you think the educational system should be doing in the first place.

Yup, you nailed it. That is the crux of the argument. I think it also leads into the meta discussion of what it means to be a "productive member of society" and how education fits into that philosophy. Why should one be forced by society at-large to be educated, or productive, or anything at all? :)
Can you tell what you mean by DoJ going after apple?
Hopefully “the next pandemic” will not be like this one at all. Because how “the experts” handled this one was shamefully wrong. At virtually every decision point these “experts” did the exact wrong thing. From years of school closures to two years of forced masks to intentionally frightening the daylights out of people. They did everything wrong.

History will not look fondly at what was done. I hope to god we never repeat this massive mistake.
I have worked from home for the past two years, and my company has started the return-to-work policy last week. I applied for, and was given, full remote status. If they had not done this, I would have definitely found another job that was willing.

Click-bait indeed, but while I'm a small sample size, the idea checks-out to me.
Good hunch, but in my experience, availability of trained staff was never really an issue in practice. Hiring well trained university faculty was always purely an economical problem. Universities often already have a trained surplus of faculty employees working in a highly reduced capacity. Especially in the last 10-15 years where distance learning became commonplace, a lot of faculty was replaced by low-paid part-time quasi-teachers, which would be more than happy to be offered a permanent position. To further demonstrate that this is an economical problem: those quasi-teachers often have different job titles other than "teacher", depending on the jurisdiction, in order to evade laws and evade the reach of (often very powerful) faculty unions.
Things other than peer-reviewed scientific studies also often contain data.

Seems a high risk, desperate maneuver. What's the end-game for the landlord? A building full of drug dealers, in perpetuity? Keeping maintenance up to city code could be a burden, and the insurance company might start to get wise.
Yes, you do. I went through this exact process in Fall 2021. I invite you to attempt to set up a personal GCP account for hobby use in the current GPU shortage, and share your experience.
Many things can ignite during accidents, such as the 10-20 gallons of gasoline in an average automobile tank. The tanks tend to be pretty well protected, and an air-conditioner condensor is normally at the very front end of the car, but that design could be changed.

The open office is a bad idea for a lot of people, but that’s not why it’s cost efficient. It’s cost efficient because it keeps rent, heating/cooling down, lets you have desks for only 60-80% of your workforce and it plays really well with the middle managers handbook of “watching people be busy”. Or in other words it basically checks all the boxes that you care about when you move into the E&Y level of executive power. The entire system is flawed or course. Even the 37-40 hour work week is sort of a left over from when we worked assembly lines. That doesn’t really matter when it’s what gets taught at every management education and is what gets adviced at any management consulting agency, and, because it works. It doesn’t work for every employee (or even manager), but it works for every company.

That’s the “cog in the machine” part of the story, the other side is what you can do as that cog. If you posses a skill set that is in demand, you can actually get away with a lot of things in this world. Why people don’t do this is beyond me, especially for IT staff. Of course it’s not easy to find the remote job you want, but in my anecdotal experience I have met so many people who were so much smarter than me who got much fewer benefits. I’ve even heard people defend their low pay, using their bosses talking points. Like, what?

I’m not an asshole, I’m not hard to work with but I do have ADHD which is crippling for me when it comes to working on things I dislike for long periods. Maybe that’s part of why I’ve always asked to get things my way, but it’s not beyond me how lucky I am to be in a profession where we always have a couple or job openings available.
> If you want E2E encryption, you sacrifice good full-text search, because you have to build the index on a computer that has access to the plaintext, which means doing it on an endpoint. It’s not as nice as doing it on the server.

I'd argue it's better than on the server. Bring me back local computing, please. It's more private, more performant and more energy efficient. The attempt to centralize computing into central server nodes is not reasonable.
> ① Use Firefox. Other browsers may have something similar; dunno; but Firefox is good anyway. ② Settings (about:preferences) → Fonts → Advanced → untick “Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above”.

I've been doing this for several years now and I love that Firefox can do this and Chromium can't. However, as you've mentioned, icons break on several websites including DuckDuckGo and rust mdbook (the search icon is replaced as "fl"). In addition, several websites assume that their monospace web font will always load and when it doesn't, code blocks are displayed in sans-serif fonts which is a huge turn off.

I guess both of these issues happen because people assume everyone's using Chromium web browsers?
Interesting point about how checking tracking numbers can leak information about you. Even if you're not doing anything illegal, the shipping companies know your name, address, and what companies you buy from. Checking tracking numbers gives them your IP, fingerprinting info, and probably a lot of tracking cookies!
> JSON strings are symbols (identifiers)

Wishing JSON strings were symbols doesn't make them so.

In Lisp, strings and symbols have different type. If you have a symbol, since it is not a string, it is not equal to any string in the system.

On the other hand, two different symbols which are unequal can have the same name. This is if at least one of them is uninterned or, in a Lisp which has symbol packages, they are interned in different packages.

Symbols are compared by identity, not by their name.
