Yep. I've seen (and personally experienced) individuals and small businesses suffer property crime ranging from low thousands to upper five figures. Not once has any amount of evidence, including the aforementioned faces-and-license-plates video evidence, or in another case multiple credit card transactions at places that assuredly have cameras covering both the register and parking lot (and at least once at a hotel, which means they made a copy of an ID, even though it may have been fake), convinced the cops to do anything whatsoever aside from offer to issue a report for insurance (for a fee, the assholes). I've even seen a case of this plainly being an ongoing spree with video placing the same people and vehicles multiple places. Cops didn't care, even though the criminals were still working and hitting places every day or two.

Middle-class white people in every case, just to eliminate any race angle. Maybe richer folks have a better time, IDK. This isn't even the allegedly-lawless-hellhole of San Francisco or anything remotely like that.

Is this something that happened or an example of something the could happen? I mainly target Apple’s platforms and while moves like this don’t leave me feeling confident about Unity, the acrimony and legal battles between Apple and Epic (and Epic’s level of support for development on Max, especially ARM Mac)leaves me feeling even less confident about switching to Unreal.
This to me is what killed delivery as a service. It doesn’t work even when they are charging what works out to be double the salary the restaurant pays its own delivery people. And it works out for no one, restaurant, driver, even the delivery as a service providers since they are all hemorrhaging money.

It’s a fake industry held up by VC money.
The Sequential where you work for today is not the same business entity that made the famous synths of yesteryear.

Which is why I saw the headline and thought “going bust is what happens to synth manufacturers” and this is that part of the cycle.

And not to say that it isn’t a bummer.

And not to say that today’s Sequential doesn’t make great gear.

Just that making synths seems to be a hard business, like most manufacturing and art based businesses.
For a GUI-focused languages, we have C# and Java.

For a fully dynamic scripting language, look no further than Python.

Function inheritance? We have decorators in Python already, and most functional languages support seamless function composition. Take your pick between Haskell, Lisp, Scala and even Rust.

Designing a new languages needs to have a pragmatic purpose and sometimes, valid ideology.
Is Scheme scoping any different from any other language with lexical/static scoping?
That's correct. In the case of Bitcoin, the thing that most closely resembles a "money transmitter" are miners but FinCEN ruled that they are not[0]. A sensible decision because otherwise, Bitcoin would have effectively been banned from the United States (or Bitcoin miners, at least).

Ignoring the fact it isn't tax evasion - just because it's against the law, doesn't mean it's unethical. Further, obeying laws can be (and often is) unethical. Not everything is on the level of requiring people to turn in jews, but there's plenty of room to argue that companies that are ill-equipped to protect your personal data should not be allowed, much less required, to collect your identifying information.
What's the current prognosis for supply chains returning to stability?

The last I heard, the main culprits were (a) COVID shutting down Chinese factories; (b) cargo-ship related shipping delays; (c) COVID-related demand for work-from-home electronics; and (d) follow-on problems caused by hoarding.

My impression was that (a, b, c) are largely behind us now. Does that mean we just need to give things a little time?

IronSource to Merge with Unity Software
BBC BASIC is based on Atom BASIC. Atom BASIC was pretty fast (like BBC BASIC and Apple BASIC, it vastly out performed Microsoft BASIC). Atom BASIC also allowed you to do some really cool stuff too like in-line assembly.

Also the BBC Micro was released in the same year as the first IBM PC, so it’s a bit of an exaggeration to say Acorn didn’t have BBC BASIC at that time.

Let’s also not forget that the original few generations of the IBM PC was crap for all but business applications (I don’t need to lead though old magazines, I was there in that era). And that it took a while before the IBM-compatibles became reliable (for years there was uncertainty about which PC software would work on which PCs) or even safe from litigation (since IBM sued a few OEMs). It wasn’t until crafty developers (like Carmack and Romero) found ways to make stuff like scrolling PC games - software that before then people didn’t think was possible on a PC - that people started to take it seriously as a family computer. Before then BASIC micros were a much more attractive option; and cheaper too.

Edit: it’s also worth noting that the Apple Macintosh, Atari ST and Amiga all ran circles around IBM PCs too. Albeit we are now talking a few years later. Frankly IBM PC + DOS/Windows was amongst the worst micro computers on the market in my opinion. The only reason they dominated was because by the end of the 80s OEMs could build them more cheaply than designing their own hardware. So the market got saturated.

Crypto’s “improvements” over traditional stocks include:

* lack of regulation comes with lack of enforcement of rules as well. If you get ripped out, there’s no one that can help you, that is by design.

* cult-like behaviour and manipulation. Crypto users are lured into forums that use their own language and memes (“line goes up”), there’s a strong dense of “us” versus “the rest”, commenting isolation. Celebrities and influencers are paid to promote. People in these groups start following “advice” and end up “having to buy in”… and then the head of the pyramid cashes out, and they are left without anything.

I’m not saying this kind of thing doesn’t happen in traditional finance, but crypto has taken it to the next level.
> now that I've amassed more cash than what an emergency fund requires, what does one do?

Pick a few things you can put your money into, which you have confidence won't lose value given a long enough time horizon. For me, this is SPY (highest alpha but needs 10 years to recover). The traditional 60/40 SPY/TLT mix is great. Currency funds also good. VTI & chill is good. Right now the Euro has Dollar parity (ECB isn't fighting inflation aggressively and won't start reducing its balance sheet for a while), maybe throw some of that into the mix.

Sell covered calls to reduce your cost basis.

Don't spend cash. Invest cash, borrow against it at favorable interest rates, and make purchases with the borrowed money. SBLOC, portfolio margin (>100k) can unlock some cheap (75bp above prime) cash.

If I could send a message to myself 20 years ago it would be the above.

Some loss functions such as ArcFace loss and CosFace loss enforce the encoder model to organize their latent space in such a way that categories are placed with an angular margin from one another. Thus the model implicitly learns a continuous distance function.

Fun fact, one of the examples in Quaterion is for similar cars search.

Google monitors and restricts shared content. This is reasonable, IMO. If someone is hosting documents publicly on the Google domain, it's reasonable for them to make judgment calls about what can and cannot be hosted.

Note that the file wasn't removed, it just had public sharing and other public features restricted. (Read the dialog in the Tweet closely)
iPhone XR - I see no reason to upgrade as I have found myself slowly using it less and less for anything other than messages, maps, photos, and slack. Every once in a while I will install something and use it for a few minutes, completely forget its on there for a month, then delete it.
TreasuryDirect.gov (the place to buy securities from the Treasury) is famously horrible to use. For example, it doesn't allow you to use browser nav (like no back or refresh buttons) or type in your password with a keyboard, and logs you out constantly. Reddit complaining about it yesterday: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bogleheads/comments/vxcmrt

Out of frustration, my friend and I made an app that aims to unofficially replace TreasuryDirect by scraping it and lets you see all the bonds and assets you own. (We also plan on adding buying and selling I-Bonds from your phone). The app mitigates most of the problems with TreasuryDirect and also calculates stats about the securities for you.

Scraping TreasuryDirect was kind of insane, not because they tried to make it difficult, but because it is one of the most awfully architectured websites I have seen. It took a lot of trial and error to get it to work.

They do not and cannot realistically do this. Meanwhile, it's like they're letting them walk around with gameboys that can also be (and constantly are) used to clandestinely bully people and take creepy photos and share them and shit. It's plainly insane.

[EDIT] Further, they're at school. How much "stay[ing] in touch with their friends" do they need to do?! They're either in class, so shouldn't be fucking around on their phones (the problem: they do, a lot, and at least around here most admin won't take their phones away or ban them from having phones at school for it) or they're between classes or at lunch or whatever and can just talk to their friends.
Post-baccalaureate study scholarships are unrelated to sports scholarships. Law is a post bachelor degree. “Buying” your way into a top law school is possible but basically entails buying your way through an undergraduate degree as well which means that you might have “bought” your way in but you’re still ultimately incredibly well prepared. And these people who buy their way in subsidize the exact people you’re concerned about being kept out: poor but well qualified candidates who can become “great” lawyers.
Dependent types are extremely difficult to use in practice for non-experts, and more or less don't work at all on floating-point numbers. Idris and a few other languages are working on it, but I think we are a long way off from there. Dynamic contracts solve the problem well enough for most use cases, even if they don't solve it fully.

I was so excited for the ATSAMD21 series when I first came across it maybe five or six years ago, because on paper it had most of everything I was looking for while remaining approachable for single-man dev teams and home(lab) assembly. Like OP, I found it extremely difficult to successfully use in practice, and have since then migrated to STMicroelectronics' offerings (STM32 MCUs, available in a huge range that includes Cortex-M0, M3, M4, M7, and now M33 for ARMv8-M). They're much more intimidating on paper, but they actually work like it says on the sticker.

I have a fondness for MIPS as I first learned CPU architecture and more advanced compiler design against it, but I'm surprised OP didn't go with ARMv7 support. The bi-endianness is almost a non-issue as it's effectively a Little Endian architecture with a Big Endian toggle for backwards compatibility - I can't say I'm positive, but my gut instinct would be that it's been forever since ARMv3 shipped defaulting to Little Endian, and most (if not all) of the kernel code has been migrated to Little Endian since then to unify with the most popular targets.
First impression. Fake. Some random company trying to get attention. Scams are often more generic or more poorly done. This would be some Americans trying to harm the biz by targeting. Not unheard of but not very likely.
They're usually right that juicing their numbers in the short term means they can cash out with higher stock and better bonuses in the next 5 years.

There is a cliff though where if you go over it you do alienate everyone and sentiment turns against the company and it'll fail. That isn't measurable though so nobody cares, and they'll just leave and land at a different company and try to juice it as well.

But overall with every business in the country doing this, it becomes pretty toxic. You're not actually producing things that people really want, you're producing things that maximally exploit consumers.

At some point, though, does the whole culture and economy fall over that cliff and you get systemic failure?
I don't use a towel to dry them, as any grit at all will fog the lenses. Instead, I just bang the edge of the glasses against my abdomen to knock the drops off.

> You didn’t explain how this gives you any protection akin to a physical chip on a debit card…

In both cases you (an admin) control how many attempts you wish to accept before sacrificing the usability over security (temporarily disabling the card and forcing you to call the bank and disabling 6-digits OTP in favour of ie. 12-digits OTP).

Your real-world analogy is, this time, too simplified :) Let me counter-argument with my example:

You are in a a possession of 1 million user emails and request OTPs for all of them (let's assume no other security measures are in place). If you hit all of the 1M records with 3 attempts of OTP - according to my simple experiment - you might hit (on avg) 3.18 accounts.

Of course, in real life, your attack would be mitigated on other (non-application) level.

Please find my ugly code for that experiment: https://pastebin.com/S2ufabhU

PS. When OTP size is increased to 7 digits - the avg account hit drops to 0.33. For 8 digits - it drops to 0.02. (please mind I'm using lousy RNG :)

PS2. What I'm trying to emphasize is that there's nothing wrong with OTP-auth like this if properly implemented with other basic anti-bruteforce techniques. You could get "better" results with simple password spraying.
I can easily answer both of your questions. Because I obviously want to know how much time exactly game code takes together: both engine and "scripting". Using weird combinations of two different profilers is not a good day to work on code. Both Unreal and Unity have proper usable profilers and Godot doesnt.

Also unfortunately our project is usingGDScript and there is no profiler for it.

I'm so happy Microsoft's attempt to buy Discord died. Intuitively it would have been great, MS would be able to leverage Discord tech and make their other products better. The reality would have been, like their purchase of Skype, to continuously make the product worse until it becomes as bad as all the other MS products.
In this case, neither party has really signed-up for it. To the candidate, it might not matter that much if they don't have a negative experience with the recruiter, but to the company whose job listing was straight-up plagiarized and outranked on the same job board (with a big recruiting fee on top), it's very different. With doordash, you at least agree to the fee, right?

tech alarmism here - we already had sentiment and engagement analysis in the in-person times before Zoom, but now in video we cannot catch the micro expressions from a flat screen, a big part of the reason why we have 'zoom fatigue' is that our brains are trying to fill those gaps and failing.

I don't agree to anything, because I don't know enough about it. They SAY they don't collect data, they SAY it's a zero knowledge proof. Who knows about that.

What I know is that they're extracting some value from people who (like me) likely don't understand the implications. This isn't complicated.
Don't really like it, because I don't especially care for 'presenter' videos. but it's an impressive product with unusually well-graduated pricing.

Benchmarking the Linux Mitigated Performance for Retbleed
Younglings may have no idea what’s normal, right? I don’t know anyone who’s been hired without a call or interview, but that isn’t necessarily relevant; it doesn’t mean that scam is obvious to someone who’s never been hired anywhere before, or is too excited about the prospect of a decent job to question the process. Lots of scams are somewhat based on people’s general reluctance to challenge someone else, especially when there’s a prize or benefit on the line, this is a human trait.

Continuing on with what the other poster said, when run as an "app" it then also eliminates the regular address bar and other buttons that are common on a full web browser so it "feels" more like a native app. There's also metadata that the app can use to add to the "jump list" feature of the Windows taskbar. You can then also get added as a target to "share" on Windows. There's a number of features that you get access to as an installed PWA at least on Windows compared to just being a webpage in the browser.

I do, I'm using an S10e and it nicely resembles the golden age of mid-sized Android handsets that HTC and LG used to make. I disabled most of the Samsung bloat on day-1 (used that ADB tool written in Rust, works like a charm!) and use things like Syncthing over Google Drive, Florisboard over Gboard, etc. Once it's set up, the thing serves it's role as a handy pager and MP3 player. Seldom use it for anything else.
> The bar exam and law school have different purposes. A law school teaches the laws of the entire country. A bar exam tests the law of the specific state. While many laws are similar, they're not the same, and the differences matter a great deal.

This was true 10 years ago. Now the majority of states use the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE), often without a jurisdiction-specific component. It's unfortunate.

I agree with the rest of your comment though.
One of the reasons I want to learn how these things work in detail is that I want to understand the whole stack I’m working with, from top to bottom. As part of my quest to implement an asymmetrical encryption algo, I ended up wondering “how do I create truly random entropy?”, and went down that rabbit hole.

It’s all about intent: my intent is understanding “how does this work?”, “how do I do this the right way?”, not breaking, and that’s how I found these things.

I don’t care about breaking stuff, it’s just not appealing to me. My whole frustration with this discussion is that for some reason, my intentions are not the True Way of the Crypto Experts, and then I’m not allowed to proceed.

It’s such utter nonsense, and this whole discussion made me realise the situation is actually worse than I thought. If these commenters here are representative of the wider crypto community, they’re really a bunch of elitist gatekeepers that cannot understand the difference between being the NSA and a mere mortal trying to learn things in their own way.
