I use Boxes on my work laptop, which runs RHEL 8; my employer has a preset for it that generates a Windows 10 Enterprise VM already fully configured in much the same way as a corporate-issued Windows laptop would be. I don't use it for much, but it does work pretty dang seamlessly for my purposes.

On my own machines I historically used VirtualBox, but I've lately been (re-)trying VMM on openSUSE (which is dead simple to setup from YaST, which has a button for "Install Hypervisor and Tools"; I simply checked the boxes for "KVM server" and "KVM tools" and it automatically installed everything I needed). So far I've been pretty impressed. I say "(re-)trying" because I've actually used that exact setup before for an on-prem server at a past employer, but running some servers in VMs is a fair bit different from, say, trying to put a Haiku or TempleOS desktop through its paces :)
Magic Links mean that if there is any issue with any of the email servers in the chain (which there often are), my ability to log in to the website may be delayed by 10, 20, maybe even 30 minutes.

It’s unacceptable and everyone I know who uses magic link has eventually given up on them due to user unfamiliarity and a variety of issues such as this one.
I feel for that poor wolf spider! I'm always jealous of folks who've had the experience of seeing a wolf spider mom with her babies. They're about as harmless as it gets for humans. But I get that it's more of a physiological response than a rational one, so no worries and no judgement for your response.

Professional spammers probably would know how to set up fake email addresses.

We “banned” alcohol for 13 years.

America’s greatest battle is with our dark religious past. We claim to be secular but really it’s an aspiration.
Well, they're not custodians exactly. The way they work is not really cleanly analogous to the system OFAC is designed to interact with.

1 is true, but reframed: tools people use de facto decide what infrastructure they run on, and therefore what infrastructure those people use their tools on. it's not as controversial when framed in an unbiased way. We are just describing network effects.

As far as the twitter thread goes, there's a 3rx option: the big validators can no longer validate. Remember, validators aren't the only ones that validate blocks, all nodes do, validators validate transactions and finalize epochs. If they refuse to validate a valid block proposed by another validator that the rest of the network sees is valid, they basically have to fork themselves off onto their own, valueless chain. If most validators start refusing to finalize blocks, their stake gets slashed and they no longer validate. They have no choice but to violate OFAC if it is deemed that finalizing a block which contains transactions they didn't and wouldn't include is a violation, so in that scenario they'd have no choice but to stop validating. The other side of this hill to me looks like a lot of decentralized, anonymous validators, and I'm happy with that.
>Being able to pass a test is indeed not a sign of mastery of the material

I think/hope you mean "guarantee" rather than "sign", because, yes, someone who has mastered the material is indeed much more likely to pass the test than someone who has not. The existence of non-representative counterexamples does not refute that.
> (...) the projects are often like (...)

This seems to suggest that asking a candidate with an MSc about their thesis might be useful
It's possible the only person this makes a difference to is myself. I often use my language as a cue to remind myself of thought traps I easily fall into. One of those traps is the idea that I'm not fully in control over how I spend my time. By choosing to phrase things in ways that emphasise agency lies with me I remind myself that I actually choose what to spend time on.

(Another one of these is that I try to never use the word "empower" but explaining that one is a bit more complicated.)
A specific medical oriented app. I’ve had a few virtual appointments where they ask me do I have an iPhone for FaceTime. I do. But what do they do for Android users? Which one of the ten soon to be discontinued Google video conferencing apps would the doctor use?
How much of that is due to the reduced capacity and services they're running at this point though? Adding on Sundays and doubling the trains per hour would certainly increase the passenger figures.
And you can’t even escape these companies by moving to another country. They have their tendrils everywhere, except in places that consciously prevent them - which is usually done by even worse tyrannies like China/Russia.

Always makes me laugh when I see employees of Google, Amazon etc. claiming to be “anti-fascist” and “standing in solidarity with the common man” etc etc…
Roughly speaking, I'd claim that most members of an organization are keen on helping their peers – tech companies being no different in my experience. In fact, it's very common for organizations to keep a wiki entry on how to properly ask questions, which is generally valuable guidance.

Still, there are people who just seem more effective at getting help, and I think that boils down to one thing: they make it easy for others to help them. More often than not, I feel there is just a rush to ask. And I understand. You need an answer and fast. That's not helpful, though. Usually, that goes like...
I don't have an example and I'm not saying there are affordable high density cities.

What I'm saying is that they aren't expensive because of the density. They are dense, because they are expensive, because they are very desirable places to live. You wouldn't densify an area where no one wants to live...
Wasnt that the whole point of building hash database of encrypted child abuse content with Apple?

> Privacy is about the right to put yourself in context.

Wow. This is a brilliant. Did you come up with this?
The article mentions two independent instances of this process within Google, where appeal is not possible even with a police report that completely exonerates the suspect.

It sounds to me as if a class action lawsuit is the most appropriate remedy for the unfortunates who are caught in this predicament. Their only problem is finding each other.

For the rest of us, it is unwise to use cloud storage for photos, for several reasons.
I mean why not try to find the band on the musicbrainz database, figure out what the band members are and look for other projects they did? That would be a start.

Or finding similar bands from a similar time and area
Do you also use one computer per account? ^^
Privacy is about the right to put yourself in context.

Very well said.
I agree about some things being a matter of prefernece and also depending on the kind of stuff you are making.

About the migrations; creating automigrations like django is a ton of work. It handles all trivial and most non-trivial cases perfectly. If you have some really complex stuff you can edit the migration file (it.s normal python).

I don't like organiziging stuff into per-controller views, I usually need to re-use things and create helper views, or other modules having that functionality etc. So their usefulness is diminishing.

About generators, I agree about the learning stuff (I actually mentioned that in my comment). About productivity... hm it depends on how useful they would be.

As for your final comment? I definitely agree; Django is a behemoth framework with more than 15 years of development time and a really huge community of contributors. Phoenix is much smaller both in age and in community so it will definitely be less mature. But I agree that it moves towards the correct goal, especially if you focus on its excellent real-time features where it really shines!
Possibly speed increase:

Switch from TCP to UDP protocol for even faster video delivery send speed?

Why use TCP for video content? Packet loss but then one would use http3 like UDP tech?
Yeah, the way Google likely ties your accounts all together a wrong decision on any Google account even if not the same account for your domains could end up having all your domains stolen by Google.
I have a catchall. Sending mails is a bit annoying...
I like not having to send a mail because I can easily avoid spam if someone misuses or sells my information because GDPR only hits small people and not the corps that deserve it. While yes, it may be slightly more annoying to create accounts, maybe that is a good thing. Because then you don't create an account at every possible site.
Why would users and developers without stake get input? Doesn't that subvert the point of staking?
My mining rig is an effective space heater.
I don't know what mailto links would open on my computer but it's not my web-based email client. I think it opens a local executable that came installed by the OS? I don't even know what email address that thing is tied to.

DKIM et. al. security concerns aside, I don't think a mailto link will be easier to use because the web server doesn't control the user's configured handler for mailto links and there's a lot of ways for that link to go unhappy.
Yes (in the field of CS, in other fields it might vary). That said, for me the most important difference was a thing around expectations: I felt fine to spend all the time I wished on the thing that became my thesis, to the exclusion of everything else, while at the same time not feeling the obligation to do so.
They require you to install their own.
You still have the choice to not use any of their services. You can get pretty far in life despite not using the internet at all.
>One of my pet peeves is when people say they don't "have time for" something. Time is not something you have;

The "have time" phrase is an idiom[1]: a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words (e.g., rain cats and dogs, see the light ).

For the criticism you wrote about "have", someone else can write the same criticism about "take" in "taking the time". And the same defense can be used for that too: "take the time" is another idiom that must be interpreted as a group and shouldn't be logically parsed as separate words.

The problem with personal encryption for long term storage is that it is easy to loose private keys and passwords.
You mean “by heart”, right?

I know you typed it twice, but I just never heard that expression.
Not really, you can be long in one market, and short in the derivatives market, and your net position be short. You'd be holding eth, but you'd be short.
You might like the book "Stay a while and listen" which is similar and about the making of Diablo 1.
You are very naïve.

In a recent comment thread I noted that my father’s generation went from fighting a bitter war with Vietnam to Apple building MacBooks there. My grandfather landed on D-Day and drove Volkswagen Beetles for most of his life.

None of us know what will happen in the future. China could become a close ally. They’re already an existential economic partner.

The only path to real privacy is personal sovereignty. If you don’t control the data it is public. Period.
But it could also mean "I don't even have time for myself".

Makes it sound less offensive, no?
I notice the difference. When people say that they don't have time for something, they consider that statement to be as factual as laws of physics. In reality though, time is something that one allocates according to their priorities. One cannot not have time for something. They can only choose to not allocate time for it.
If your asking this question the answer is Django. There’s nothing else left that’s really being actively developed in the open source space and nobody wants to admit it.
Those countries would love to blackmail you. Just encrypt your data rclone would do that.

I don't agree. over 4000 messages on the list, so clearly, splitting these out individually producing what? 20K+ messages? not what you could record properly in a single day with concentration, breaks etc.

If you look at the examples, they record them with different emphasis so they can appear in different positions in a sentence and sound natural enough that you can hardly notice.

In the last 10 years, I don't think I have heard any of these in the UK that sounded like you describe. We all know the voice is a robot anyway so as long as it is understandable, it's fine.
With the flick of a switch, they can deploy this technology to a global scale and way beyond protecting children. Imagine the feature propagating to their Chrome browser or their smart speakers "listening in" on what's happening in your home to "prevent" crimes by sending the cops whenever you raise your voice or say "the wrong things." This kind of power should not be in the hands of a single company.

Edit: I recently read this book called "The Every" which explores a similar scenario https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/57792078-the-every
Apple Music with Dolby Atmos sounds bad

Unfortunately there are some issues that people get so angry over, they'll support fascism openly if it means being against it
This problem is overstated IMO. Choosing the one with the most validators is closely analogous to choosing the chain with the most work i.e. the one with the most hash power.

And with algorithmic difficulty adjustment in PoW, you don't pick the chain with the headers with the most 0s preceding, you pick the longest chain. A longer chain with a sudden difficulty adjustment is an obvious invalid chain, but I digress

The bigger problems for me are the nothing st stake problem. Why pick one chain when you're new? Just pick both, it costs virtually nothing, and when you figure out which one is more profitable to you, just let the stake in the other one get slashed. Validators can help an attack on the network just in case it becomes profitable, and if it doesn't they lose nothing, because they incur no ongoing costs in the real world to do so.
They don’t block CSAM because “it’s illegal” - in fact, they can’t be forced to do it without it breaking your 4th amendment rights. Instead, all CSAM reporting and blocking is done at-will by these companies, and some don’t participate (Apple[0]), so it’s a policy decision by these companies.

I imagine unblocking someone due to them being exonerated by a government entity is legally risky - perhaps doing so would be considered enough proof/evidence to deem the entire CSAM scanning practice as a search/seizure at the request of the government.

In those same years, Apple submitted 205 and 265 reports (respectively). It isn't that Apple doesn't receive more picture than my service, or that they don't have more CP than I receive. Rather, it's that they don't seem to notice and therefore, don't report.”

Thank you for all this. Did you have any pain point? Lack of libraries or something so far?

Works for (almost) all devices.
Yes, and Central line can get hot during the summer. Only it’s quite a walk from Bakerloo line to Elisabeth line
One example would be protecting employees from someone just bringing in photos of themselves with the sole intent of exposing themselves to the employee, as they have a captive audience.
grade on explaning the code and not the code itself?

Someone who can explain some code understood it (or memorized the explanations)

from an academic point of view, it is not that bad. even for the people in the "memorized" category, they memorized the explanation... brings them quite close to understanding IMO
> It's all Windows controls, as I mentioned above, which makes it look, well, simple.

Simple is beautiful.

> And it's a utility that really doesn't need to look fancy, so it's fine for what it is.

"Fancy" sucks.

> It doesn't seem to have a dark theme, which is a bummer, but otherwise it does the job.

"Dark theme" is moronic: Having your app use only standard Windows controls meant it automatically used whatever "theme" the user had set Windows-wide, so it always adapted to their preferences. No per-application "dark theme" or "purple theme" needed.

Until Microsoft themselves sabotaged all that, starting late in the lifespan of Windows 7. Assholes.
A lot of textbook exercises begin with a prompt like "solve for x", where x has no existence outside the scope of each given exercise. The information that is produced has no inherent value, but I'd be surprised to hear many people object to this usage of "solve".
This entire argument seems nonsensical to me on its face, easily illustrated by changing the salamander of Theseus with the person of Theseus.

If we were to theoretically build a human by gradually replacing each biological component with a manufactured one, we would eventually end up with a wholly synthetic human.

Whether or not this “person” is experiences “personhood” or not is immaterial, since they could be expected to manifest all of the externally perceptible characteristics and behaviors of personhood. We know from humans integrating prosthetics that our implementation of physical form would not have to be perfect in its fidelity, far from it in fact.

This synthetic human copy could then be replicated at scale, complete with its starting data set and experiences.

Regular human prejudices could reasonably be expected to quickly place such replicated humans at odds with meaty humans.

Just the fact that they can be manufactured at scale gives them a “super” characteristic, not to mention the other advantages that not being meaty might carry. If they gained control of the means of replication, which they might easily be imagined to be motivated to do, they could easily pose a novel and significant threat to the existence of meaty humans.
I remember from my Fortran week in university, that Fortran has strict rules about aliasing that allow the compiler to generate more efficient code C in several cases. And I also have read about aliasing bugs/assumptions being wrong in LLCM and having to be fixed for the rust compiler.

Has Rust's usage of LLVM been helpful for Fortran? And maybe vice versa?
> Those countries would love to blackmail you

based on what?

At least is an entire Country that will blackmail me, must think I am really important, not some rando that hacked iCloud to find celebrities boobs and post them online...

yeah, but rclone is an offline backup, basically.

cloud storage is for when you need immediate access and search capabilities.
It's quite good, isn't it? I really enjoy their videos.
I had to convert that, and I'm shocked. One of your devices is surely faulty. My Airpods Pro with pretty much any device I connect them to, I can easily get 150m (500ft) LoS, and easily 50-100m (150-300ft) with walls in a normal building, with no quality loss at all.
Crossrail was the name of the project, the name of the company set up in 2001 to plan and build it (Crossrail Ltd, wholly owned by TfL), and the name of the Act (Crossrail Act) passed in 2008 giving them permission to go ahead and build it. They eventually named the line they were building the ‘Elizabeth Line’ in 2016.

Ignoring network effects.
Well not in all countries. In my country you are required to receive electronic messages from the government as well as to have a government issued ID and authentication system that forces you to have a fairly recent smartphone. For now, it is theoretically possible to use the authentication system without a smartphone but you will have to jump through an awful amount of (artificially imposed) hoops.

Not having an internet connection is NOT an option.
There is a legal process to get a special permit to avoid having to use these state mandated electronic systems but it is almost only theoretically in that you will need to have a doctor's note saying that you are unable to use such systems. E.g., by suffering by severe dementia or similar.

Yes, every culture has their idiosyncrasies, which is precisely the reason why mentioned them. If every culture is different, then different cultures... are *different*. Being aware of the differences helps understand where the potential frictions might be.

You are making assumptions about me, but what about Tanaka and Matsumoto? They are Japanese and they couldn't get Funaba to understand either.

Ultimately Funaba wasn't angry with me, he just ignored me, he was angry with Matsumoto for listening to me and telling him what to do. Could Matsumoto have picked "less combative words"?

Or is it possible that there was a problem with Funaba?
You are asking an unfortunately reasonable question. The fucked up thing is that your normal camera app should suffice for this.
When people talk about having time, they are not aware that it's an idiom for sparing time to do it. They talk about having time as in having money, like it's something that one can pull out of a drawer.
For mangas yes. In jump and other magazines. Printed on very cheap paper probably worse than hygienic one.
That's a fantastic explanation and very interesting - nice work!
