I very much hope we get a lot of hindsight view, and would like to stress the app, and it's 15min gating for exposure risk were roundly criticised at the time. So the hindsight, is just a formalism against the things we said in advance of its release, and in use day to day.

Most Australians I speak to agree that this app was a "be seen to be doing something" waste of public money, and the entirely rational offers from Apple and Google were denied for specious reasons grounded in "not invented here" and historical fears of privacy. This was not helped when at least one state police force attempted to use the data to prove somebody's presence in a crime scene, mixing the pot quite badly. The "Australia card" and online health record debates have made it plain we have zero tolerance in Australia for data cross matching.

The app was useless. We all new it. Even the developers must have known it. It was health pantomime comparable to the woo-woo bomb detectors which were plastic sticks wiggled under cars in the middle east (not to be confused with mirrors on sticks which at least did what they said)

There was no 15min safe window for exposure. It was stupid. The model was inverted from one where you were told sites of infectious risk and a time, to self asses your exposure, which would have been pretty easily adopted and required no central authority.

In my state app (qld) the "logout of being at a site" function did not actually work: you could not actually use the app to bound your exposure window in time. It was ridiculously hard to use one phone for multiple people and once it became a proof of vaccinations status tool, wouldn't work for groups at all.
The French state declared bankruptcy in 1788 and it was a slow motion disaster. The calling of the Estates General to agree a new constitutional settlement was not the Crown’s preferred way of dealing with the necessity to share more power to get agreement to pay more taxes but they knew a new constitutional settlement was going to happen. The last attempt to keep things somewhat under royal control was the 1787 Assembly of Notables[1]. But even then it was obvious that there was going to be a radical change in government. A great deal more democracy was going to arrive in France, 25 years of war in Europe or no.

At that point just make a hackintosh VM and run it from there. Why even buy apples stuff if you're not gonna use it.
There are "templating languages" such as SGML for generating type-checked markup ie. respecting the regular content model and lexical types expressed in DTDs and other markup declarations. This results in injection-free, HTML-aware templating ie. templating engines can properly quote/escape content in attributes, CDATA sections, etc. and can enforce content model rules (that eg lists consist of nothing but list items, that script elements aren't placed where forbidden as would be required in user content such as comments provided by your web site visitors, etc.) Much more powerful than programming language types, and needed in CMSs.
Agreed, you get all the benefits of type inference even in a template. It's a pain to debug template variables that don't exist, I've written enough Handlebars to know.
Don’t think so. This isn’t a case of population declining because of a one off event, killing off the old and infirm first and leaving behind a (relatively) healthier population.

This is more of a gradual decline AND ageing. The decline isn’t happening because the old are going away; its happening because there are too few young people being born.

That just leads to stasis. Nothing wrong with that, but it completely messes with all our current economic and governance models

The thing is, if you know JS, then a conditional is JSX is the same as in JS. Contrast that with every new templating language under the sun which might have its own way of doing conditionals and loops and control flow. That to me is much more annoying.
The way to get energy out of a nuclear reactor today is with a heat engine.

It does not. The people you iMessage with still have it turned on, because it is on by default, and Apple will get it from those devices instead.
Don't be unreasonable. Numerical Julia code is just as fast, precisely because it's easy to design efficient high-level APIs and let the compiler optimise it.

Try timing Julia's IO, or it's string processing, or it's hash tables, or its array allocation or it's GC - you know, nearly everything other that mathematical operations on floats or ints. Nearly everything leaves performance on the table.

Sure Julia is fast, but not on a C level in these areas. There is still lots of room for optimisation, though.
Very recently. Totally fine with it, but I don't want to take a massive paycut for remote work. I haven't had to turn down offers for that reason but have heard people talking about it.

Code like this is expected in Spring https://hastebin.com/jevibugiqu.less . Literally all the classes I see are filled with annotations. Can we even write code in pure java without a single annotation ? Theres a lot of magic going on with annotation. It works great while it is running. God forbid there is some issue and we have to figure it out where all the magic is happening.
Lens has been bought by another company, the same one that bought Docker, and they are not playing nice with the community.

Some people have forked it to remove the newly added trackers, the forced login, and the remote execution of unknown code, but I sadly guess that it will become a corporate nightmare and the forks will not be popular enough to really take over the development.

SMS is not transferred over the internet. It is transferred over a telecoms network. Only the carriers can deliver a SMS message. I guess it is possible to deliver a message over the internet to a SMS gateway somewhere, but as SMS is telecoms technology, only internet is not enough.
I appreciate the work put into typesetting the C code. It makes the examples look quite elegant.

EDIT: Having finished reading, I do prefer compilers being straightforward to being clever. The Go compiler is one example of a compiler which follows this school, Pascal and Delphi are as well.
> it seems like cutting back on the pollution is a first step everybody could take.

Just a simple tragedy of the commons I guess. The obvious steps towards sustainable fishing involves either higher cost or lower yields in the short-medium term. The few who would be willing to would go out of business. Since fish don't generally respect borders, the same dilemma occurs even between countries. If you voluntary give up your yield, other countries get more.

The only way I know to solve this is to properly price externalities, Milton Friedman style.
IMHO middle and high school do not have the life focus and specialization yet. Hacking on a microprocessor trainer is no fun and definitely does not bring you anything if you are not in CS and even then you can survive without.
> the context back then was don't trust an endpoint just because it is on your network.

I remember working for a major tech company that had contracts for big critical industries (think oil, aviation, trains, etc.). All the R&D department pretty much rested on one Brent, because they made no efforts to upgrade their systems for 15 years+.

tl;dr: I asked him: hey maybe we shouldn't trust devs computers just because they are "on the network", he just shrugged and said: "if we're compromised we'll have other things to worry about anyway".

While zero trust as a goal is impossible, it still is the guiding principle that everyone should follow; especially if you have a Brent.
Nepotism means hiring family.

Everyone has know for forever that it is not what you know, it's who you know. This has probably been done this way for forever. Back in the ancient Roman times, back in Sumeria I'm sure.

This article is pretty worthless. It states the obvious. Except they are wrong about the definition of nepotism which is bothering me to no end.

I have held many positions where people around me and under me had WAY more skill, and I mean WAY more skills in the technical thing that they were doing.

However, people who talk about meritocracy usually are sour apple-ing about other people who "brown nose" and "play office politics." It's really in that genre that this is what things that piss people off are about. The thing is, is that it takes a long time, at least for me, to understand how office politics work. I had to work long and hard at it, it did not come natural for me. There are a lot of techniques that I learned. I had to change my thought patterns.

But, here's the thing, I was pretty good at getting things done by being a "brown noser" and "playing office politics." Because part of office politics, for me, is not just politicing upwards, but sideways and downwards, too. But I 100% admitted it to everyone, that they were all better than me...that's why they were hired. My job was just to coordinate everything and get them the resources they need, and their job was to make me look good, and my job was to make them look good politically. No one really minded that I was not the sharpest tool in the shed, because I didn't say I was. But I DID say that I was very good at other things that they were not good at.

But yes, pick your business associates and mentors VERY carefully. Don't just walk into a job and make friends with the first people that happen to talk to you. No. Anyways, you never want to make "friends" with anyone at work. You should have no friends at a workplace. You have associates, but you are polite and respectful towards all. Make friends outside of work. This approach has never failed me. I shoot up organizations because I figure out who the powerful people are and slowly work into developing relationships with them, even if they are many levels above me...I figure out the line of approach. Who are their close associates? And those associate's associates. Work your way into the power structure. Yeah, you have to be sharp and have skills, but the CEO of GM is not screwing on hubcaps every day - the technical skills are not needed at that level. Usually.
What’s the point though. People still receive spam that doesn’t originate in the iMessage ecosystem. The end result is the same.

Now I'm never going to fall asleep.
This is just a silly red herring - the two issues are not mutually exclusive and addressing the one does not detract from addressing the other. Can someone help me understand why people think that thinking this way is productive, or intelligent, or… anything positive? I truly do not understand it at all. On so many articles the top/highly rated comments are just variations of ‘oh, but this other thing is even worse!’ Why is that?

Great explanation! I didn't know text mode's role in this.
WFH was the best thing that happened for me because I absolutely do not like to socialize with co-workers.

I came from work cultures with low boundaries related with personal interactions that sometimes I felt permanently in a state of acting.

No, I do not want drinks after work; I will go to the indoor climbing with my friends.

No, I do not want know about the last episode of <Hyped TV show in some streaming>; I will watch my soccer team playing.

No, I do not want to notice your smell if you bought the last Carolina Herrera or if you lack of hygiene and do not use deodorant and took 1h30m in the subway/bus to come to office; I just want to work in my porch breathing fresh and clean air.

The idea of having relationships in workplace is overestimated. Most of the time os just some tool for people show their Machiavellian traits and trying to drag you in office politics. Becky from legal has a new car? I do not care. Kevin from sales have some affair at work? Not interested.

He's trying to be sarcastic but failing at it. The primary focus of creating encryption was to keep messages secret from military enemies. It was later used for non-military purposes. The primary focus of the creation of Tornado Cash was to facilitate money laundering. Privacy was the public justification for its existence, but not why it exists.
Have you tried Wise? I've been using the service (based in the UK, created by Skype's founders). The exchange rate is always shared upfront, extremely cheap with various options provided, many free or dirt cheap, some faster but slightly more expensive. Not too sure about the rest because my use case is very specific. Excellent for international business payments and remittances, I can assure you about that.
There are at least two problems with this model.

For one, some neurons, when activated, don't just send a signal to specific other neurons, but instead release a chemical in an area, that affects the activation chances of other nearby neurons. I believe there are also other modes of activation, and other consequences of neuron activation, that make the brain far more complex. It should be remembered that the brain can also activate other glands in the body, which in turn change how the brain works - e.g. when releasing adrenaline, testosterone, oxytocin etc.

For another, as far as we know right now, each neuron itself is deciding whether to fire or not based on much more sophisticated logic than "sum(input*weight) > threshold". In fact, it seems that computation happens quite a bit in individual neurons, not only at the NN level. At the very least, the neuron activation function is not fixed, like in an ANN after training, it changes constantly for various reasons.
Those are popular creators but fairly mainstream. One has the most popular podcast the other is a evolutionary psychologist that writes self-help books.
A lot of fishers where I live blame the damage on previous generations. They aren’t the problem, it was the people before them. They talk about how sustainable their practices are (despite stocks decreasing every year).

We had massive glass sponge reefs. They were destroyed by trawlers. That’s prohibited now. I suppose we’re expected to believe the industry wouldn’t be trawling today if they were allowed to, but I don’t buy it. Although the glass sponges were nurseries for untold millions of fish and their prey, and those stocks are so incredibly depleted and unable to recover, they still fish every single bit of quota they can and fight tooth and nail to increase quotas. Many complain that they aren’t allowed to trawl, too.

I suppose what it comes down to is that everyone thinks they are the exception. Even our meat eating practices on land are so resource intensive and absurd, but no one things they are complicit in an activity like what we’re seeing with fishing. None of this is sustainable, but we’re all participating and all very sure it’s someone else’s fault.

Really, sustainable fishing at our population scale seems like an absurd notion.
When ever someone comes up with a new resistor type they seem to ignore all the research and development done with nand memory and regular cpu architectures. Like the memresistor all of the research and development done with nand flash and 5nm technology outweighs all these new types of gates.
Yes, and similarly, a memristor is not a neuron - it only bears a passing resemblance, probably worse than the resemblance between a car and a bullet.

i can't log in to any of my banks without my phone.

Check with your bank. Most banks have another capability of verifying who you are on login. That usually consists of a random-number generator that is in lockstep with a similar one within the bank's system. The random-number supplied by your 'token' should be the same as the one generated by the bank that is associated with your account or login.

We have three of these. One for each of the banks we deal with.

These things in the article may not have functions essential to synapses though. I’m no biologist. If a subset of functions is ok then …
no, you cannot control allocation via regular means. What i meant is that you make pooling in java, and that effectively makes it work like an arena allocator (in that you end up setting a bit/boolean flag to allocate/deallocate an object).

But the pooling can be constrained to just one portion of your app - the hot loop or the bit that needs the low latency. The remaining code - loading resources at startup for example - can just be regular old java that's easy to write.
