Are you aware that in order to reach the Great lakes via the ocean requires navigating several locks?

Do you propose the Russian subs stopped at the locks, paid the lock fees and continued on their way?

when the reach the locks, what type of ship do they state they are

In theory you could maybe use this to kill some endpoint agent used for security monitoring in a way that, if someone were to go investigate the crash, maybe they wouldn't immediately think "oh shit, someone killed it".

Attackers do kill those agents, absolutely, but you'd have to be root to kill the agent with this method (and ideally any method), at which point endpoint instrumentation and forensic artifacts are unreliable anyway. Any logs that someone were looking at that said "attacker killed me" could just be deleted/ rewritten. The attacker could even rewrite them on the fly and ship them off the box so you're none the wiser :)

My experience is that journalists do the first using the vocabulary of the second:

They phrase objections to viewpoints and ideas that are forbidden in the language of decorum, so they can claim to be upholding propriety and good society rather than censorship.

That attitude (and your post) are why trust in media has collapsed — you’re no longer doing the hard work of bringing us the fire of truth, you’re just having a pleasant chat with your friends.

>The term “spongy bone” doesn’t mean that the bone is soft or can compress, he says. Rather, it indicates that the bone is porous and lightweight

So part of the misconception can be blamed on a connotation of a metaphor that doesn't apply. Very common in physics!
Back in those days when we couldn’t patch games post-release, our team felt it was much too dangerous to change anything for the release for fear of code layout changing exposing some bug which had previously been harmless and undetected by QA, and so we would typically leave all of our debugging tools and runtime checks enabled in the final release builds of the game. It was just safer that way.

But with that said, we didn’t generally crash the game due to a missing texture, even during development, as that’s a super common problem which would have impacted development too much; instead, we just drew anything which used a missing texture in max-saturation pink and green instead, alternating between the two colors once per second, to make sure it’d be super visible to anyone looking at the game during development.

We did usually change that behaviour to instead render missing tetxures in alternating black/near-black instead of pink/green for our final releases, as that was deemed a relatively safe change.
I’m surprised this is the first time I’ve heard this, at least the symbolic part of the bitten apple is pretty wierd.

So you embark on a game of semantics wherein protesting is not a form of civil unrest, and then the coup de gras is to evoke "rightwing" as if that is somehow evidence of the falsehood of the claim.
Disagreed, we can have good sanity checks while forgoing checks for infinite loops.

It should not be an all or nothing affair. Improvements can be gradual.
Sure, but given that ref-napi gets about 227K downloads each month, I find it very unlikely that the project as a whole is broken.

It might be broken for parent commentator that goes around complaining about it, because they encounter that specific bug. But seems not everyone is getting hit by it, then someone would at least contribute a fix to it, which no one has done yet.
Of course they do.

But that doesn't mean that chasing perpetual short-term returns is the best way to grow an economy.
This is somewhat true but at least from an ergonomic standpoint it’s the same - which matters a lot for things like RSI or vision – and it’s often also the same from the perspective of chasing that “new stuff” stimulus. It’s not really healthy if you’re switching from the average phone game to IG/TikTok and back.
A lot of people use silencers on their home defense guns. Firing a gun with no hearing protection is a pretty jarring experience, and a suppressor can help quite a bit with that.
This is why it takes me a day or two to orient myself towards starting a big task. The sooner I get to the ”I have to make this clearer” part, the sooner I have a roadmap, and the sooner I start coding.

The problem is essentially in how tickets are written.
While it may not be "a requirement", considering that the very first compiler I'm aware of (Böhm's) was already written in itself, it's a fairly valid question why wouldn't you make an educational compiler with these properties.
Changing the EC would require a national constitutional amendment.

If you're looking to make the presidential results look more like the national vote, there is an easier step that only requires changing your state.

End winner-takes-all EC allocation in your state, and allocate proportionally. This would give red and blue minorities in a state a say (and even third parties!) and reduce the impact of a handful of votes in "swing states".

Yes, its easy to run, but I found that re-creating 'production' input parameters annoying. In rails, that might be setting the request state (set current user, gen a jwt tokens, etc.) which is required for debugging views or controller code.

I also found ruby made me worse at leetcode problems, since my default debugging taught me to run the code, instead of think through program state.
The naivete of this author is stunning. Zuckerberg runs FB to "help connect people?" Not quite. It's an advertising money machine and Zuckerberg is no social philanthropist.

The "people" who are misusing the tool, as he mentions, are the people who work at Facebook! It's implementation is harmful to society because it amplifies our worst voices -- the ones around hatred, lies, and bigotry. Those also happen to be the topics that attract eyeballs, and FB feeds you more of whatever sick medicine you crave.

FB is awful not because it's been maligned by folks who just don't understand. It's awful by design. I hope it's over soon.
Anxiety-driven procrastination models:

"What if I do a bunch of work on this project, but because I've chosen the wrong approach, I have to throw it all away and start over? What approach is the right one? Everyone on the web has conflicting opinions!"

The only solution is to give yourself a time limit on background research and then, make a decision, commit and just build something.

This is different from boredom-driven procrastination, which is more of the nature of:

"I have this extremely tedious job to do, which I am not looking forward to, as it will use energy I could much better spend doing other things."

This kind of procrastination can be levered to get other things done, however. Think of all the things you want to get done, and then do all those things as an alternative to doing that one really tedious, boring task that can then be put off until tomorrow (again).
I’ve always heard the preference for tubes[a] comes from them having a “warmer” sound. Could that warmer sound be alleviating the “listening fatigue”?

Well, at least here (Italy) in the '60's or '70's horse meat was actually "prescribed" by doctors to anemic or too skinny kids as it "makes blood" (that and liver).

I was never "forced" to it (I was far from skinny as a kid) but I remember that when a certain (actually skinny) cousin would come to my grandmother's invariably horse meat or liver would be prepared.
I’ve worked with several of those ways of distributing Python apps over the years, mostly under Windows with a little under Linux and macOS, and mostly around a decade ago now, though I’ve touched a very little non-Windows stuff in the last year or two. They’ve consistently been more work than they seem even if all your stuff is pure Python, and there are just caveats left, right and centre. All kinds of stuff that should be fundamental and built-in was just extra effort at every step. Hooking up resources in the .exe file, controlling the Windows subsystem stuff, adding a manifest that works, figuring out which MSVCRT redistributables you need and how to hook them up (and you can’t pretty much just couldn’t automate this in any way), finding what library files (.dll, .so, whatever) you need because of dynamic linking, fixing library.zip stuff that just mysteriously didn’t work for some libraries, special-casing stuff here and there for C dependencies, tweaking optimisation and compression levels to try to speed things up and shrink them since startup is unreasonably slow and the distribution unreasonably large but these tweaks are also inconsistent and often break things, adding files your program depends on in a place where they’ll work, tweaking your code because it runs differently under py2exe or py2app or pyinstaller or whatever, trying to figure out why what you’ve built just isn’t even starting on so-and-so’s machine…

Granted, a few of these things apply to Rust stuff as well (e.g. resources and manifests can’t quite be done out of the box without extra tools), but most of them are inapplicable, and the remainder tend to have better solutions than I observed in Python-land. And a lot of the pain that I’m describing of the Python stuff isn’t that it’s hard to do anything, but more that I’ve found it all just exceptionally error prone and unreliable.
I like this mindset.
Is there a problem with "silencers" other than stupid propaganda?
What’s the difference between a single wide and a trailer park home?
No. What we're saying is that if you build a gigantic surveillance and propaganda machine it will be used by the powerful to hurt the powerless.

The solution is not to build the giant surveillance and propaganda machine just because you perceive it is merely helping the powerful at some particular moment in time.

Your telephone example is also dead wrong. The solution is to use an e2ee voice communication platform in addition to reigning in the rampant abuse by cops and domestic spying. Or in a counterfactual alternate past hefore that was possible, it would be to break up the large telephone providers that anything like a clipper chip or bulk wiretapping at the exchange without a warrant is impossible to coordinate and keep secret.

Similarly the overarmed police would be far less of a problem if there wasn't a massive corporate arms industry.

On the other hand we occasionally lose an entire classroom of kids to a mass shooting, but a significant part of society tells us that we can’t do anything to restrict gun ownership to reduce that risk because apparently the ‘greater good’ of mass unrestricted gun ownership is more important.
Rust is capable of eliminating unnecessary count increments and decrements for Rc fairly often. The compiler doesn't usually need specific knowledge -- if there is a +1 and then a -1 LLVM is smart enough to cancel that out on its own. I'd actually be curious to see examples where it doesn't.
And now there are what? Two? One? I can't tell at this point, but three would be a nice choice to have.
This is a really interesting point, and I can see where you come from. Generally any time spent on coming up with promotional ideas is usually better spent on making a better product.

I wrote this one for people who doubted the value of their own work, especially when the marketplace sent them signals (or lack thereof) that it wasn't worth much; we conflate popularity and quality too much.

A lot of times I read something great, and I'm often glad, but I also think to myself, "I wish I read this earlier!" I'd love for more people who love creativity and making quality products (and hate self-promotion) to consider promoting their own work, because I know it's out there—I just want to see more of it!
Wow, that's quite a story. I've found myself in "owned" ethical situations but not at such a young age or in as much of an "owned" position, but boy does the memory burn anyway. I wonder would you be described as a "rugged individualist"? Have you considered stoicism to cure you lol?
> Some people feel "walking naked" -type anxiety without a phone even for a short term.

I've started to take long walks deliberately without my smartphone, and it feels very liberating. I had always brought it along "just in case", but no case has ever actually arisen. I realized that it was just fear, and before smartphones were ubiquitous, I used to go around all the time without one and without fear. I enjoy having that feeling again.
> Your trust is misplaced.

Could you provide some explicit examples to what you linked above?

> Weird old guys contacting his son

This one sounds a little weird, but the rest could just be the kid isn’t following modern western progressive values (and being obsessed with games depending on how much is just being a kid).

> swearing (fine by me, but still), being drawn to the wrong kind of "friends", hate speech

I’d need specific examples here, but it sounds like the kid is just rebelling against the current cultural norms. Much like most of us rebelling against conservative norms growing up.

1) true. The unit tests tend to fill that gap for me thought.

4) yep. Go is too simple.
And then when challenged on this they will say “no no, those countries are oppressing their people and limiting their freedom”.

Ignoring how those governments operate in an adversarial environment of nations where if you don’t sell out your people you face endless assignation or coup plots by the Israeli Mossad or the American CIA.

People today don’t realize the extent of the present evil and the depth of the historical of the west. Take communist China. How can you ignore the fact that Britain was literally a cartel for opium sales in China? When the emperor banned opium to get ahead of the epidemic what did “Great” Britain do? Respect the sovereignty of the Chinese people?
Possibly, but not necessarily. On the other side you have that pattern of "True, they are brutally oppressed, but that must be what they all want if the oppressor is of their own ethnicity, right?" It's perfectly fine to have an opinion about the form of government in a foreign country that isn't all positive.
"Conservative author claims modernity is sign of civilization on the brink." Truly a dog bites man story.

The argument "globalism didn't stop WWI" fails to examine the counterfactual, would WWI have happened without globalism. Did globalism tamper the forces of war, albeit failing to hold them back completely in the end?

The Bronze age collapse, so far as anyone knows, was due to invasion by "sea people". An invasion that they are documented fending off but struggling against for many years leading up to the collapse.

I could go on. The whole thing is just really unconvincing if you're not already predisposed to his conclusions.
> My son, who is now 17, spends - I would imagine, he doesn't know because he's too frightened to switch on Screen Time - maybe 10-14 hours a day glued to his phone. He's now at an age where I have no agency over him - he's an adult in 6 months and he's got to figure out his own way - but it worries me.

I have to ask, do you live in the suburbs? I was in a similar place as your son growing up, I had an extreme screen addiction (although some of it was productive). There was nothing to do or see within several miles of home and I was dependent on my parents for transportation, which added enough friction that I didn't really even know where to begin when it came to making friends or planning outings beyond school. It was just significantly easier to stay at home playing video games or surfing online all the time, and that habit spilled over into anything I did outside the house as well. That all changed when I moved somewhere walkable with good transit/bike infrastructure.
It's way more than just a memory use problem. Garbage collection trashes the CPU cache, and unless you aggressively use value types you have extra layers of indirection everywhere that trash it even more. GC languages have a deserved reputation for worse performance.

While I agree with some of what you said about the free software community, I think you're ignoring GP's larger point, and somewhat derailing the conversation by focusing too much on one sentence of a long comment.

Perhaps you could post a substantive rebuttal to the heart of GP's comment:

> they remain willfully blind to other threats ...

> The problem is that would give users actual power and autonomy. But what the authors really want is for Google and other corporations to keep acting as internet police, but only enforcing rules they agree with, and not any others.

In other words, what about broader issues with censorship, surveillance, and corporate control of the Internet outside the context of abortion?
Does it make the laser "piow" noise in real life too? Or that's just the cinema effect
Yeah its interesting, multiplication is essentially a convolution of the digits in the two numbers, and convolution is definitely something that FFT is used for.
> But this is true for ML syntax too, isn't it? And ML-likes are widely considered to be readable.

I don't see how that's true for ML. Could you give an example showing the ambiguity?

Edit: I think I can see how the presence of infix syntax may cause that. As in: when you see "a b c" it will read differently based on whether "b" is a function that's declared to be infix by default. Yeah, I think infix notation is a mistake. The more I think about syntax, the more appeal I see in S-expressions.

I thought that was cute that that was an image, I had to make sure with lynx that the alt text was there.
I thought it was uncontroversial that stochastic gradient descent can offer at least some protection against getting trapped in an undesirable local minima. Even in 2011 when I took my first machine learning course we were taught that while SGD was first developed to make large problems more tractable, the noise introduced by evaluating the gradient on only a subset of the data can potentially help the solver escape local minima.

I don't think the analogy with simulated annealing is that much of a stretch. The learning rate is like temperature and it's pattern of decrease is like an annealing schedule. Each step is decided from the sampling distribution for the full gradient and there is a nonzero probability of climbing uphill. As the learning rate decreases the solver becomes more likely to get stuck in a local minima. See here [1] for instance, and here [2] for a more detailed discussion of how SGD can help escape local minima that goes beyond this analogy.

The analogy is incomplete and of course SGD can still get stuck in local minima, but my understanding is that there is a reasonable consensus that the noise introduced by SGD can help a solver find better local minima and the main area of contention is in trying to understand exactly why this is the case.

Nothing significant no. Ping An had some exposure but it's already written down - they are also not a bank, they are an insurrance firm but worth mentioning as they were the highest profile entity with exposure.
That doesn't mean zero of course, they are still taking a haircut on whatever assets they do hold but at a % of assets it's not significant, also they are likely to get preferential treatment when it comes to servicing debt as domestic bond holders.

Because of their horrendous credit ratings developers actually had a huge amount of trouble sourcing capital locally and were forced to sell junk bonds on the international market at elevated yields. This means a few things, firstly that everyone acknowledged the risks (hence the high yield) but also that the impact of the RE market slowdown is devastating on these over-leveraged developers because of their very high cost of debt.

The fact that the assets were always junk rated is partially why this is way less of a big problem than people are trying to make it out to be. In 2008 the problem was the assets were AAA rated (the exact opposite of junk) and thus were held in enormous quantities by large banks and funds all around the world. Conversely because of the risk these assets posed they are held rather narrowly in comparison and those that do hold them knew and were sophisticated enough to accept the risks.

To be fair, there are some of the more complex ruby libraries that do provide those more protected/parameterized options. In general, even when I wrote a script that took input, I found it sufficient to just assume that if another dev tried to use it for something where it broke, they could work out how to fix it, or rename the file/folder on their system to make it work.
I just Googled and found an article so I am sure there are better sources, however it shouldn't be controversial to say that the Shah, who came in power through a foreign coup, was a dictator. It is the reason why the revolution was able to succeed. Obviously life under the Shah was much better than after the revolution but that is not to say there were not problems before it.
I'm able to view with out authentication.
