Actually curious, what do you mean exactly by "doesn't perform better" in this context? My experience doesn't go as far (10-15 years), but while I agree a whole subset of softwares don't feel much different (text editors, web browsers), in some other domains I can feel the difference (video games, programing IDEs and the tools they offer). Where I imagine I agree is if a computer hardware becomes 10x more performant, there is not a related 10x improvement performance on softwares
Neat! I like that this is kind of the opposite effect (obviously Drivey is way more polished).

Drivey shows objects as their silhouettes on top of a light background, whereas Nightdrive shows objects as their lights on top of a dark background.
The Nintendo Switch has an ARM64 CPU, which means the biggest part of porting to that CPU is now done. Does it mean we can expect an Apple Silicon mac build some time soon(ish)?
A long time ago we had a local coffee chain called Coffee Connection, run by George Howells. One of the people responsible for changing Americans' idea of what 'good coffee' is. When Charbucks got here, they bought Howells out and destroyed the Coffee Connection. To this day I hold a grudge against them for that and won't drink their crappy coffee.
My guess is they encrypt the message twice, append it, and split it off at their servers. To anyone observing traffic, it looks like normal encrypted traffic AND they can still, if needed, show that everyone has their own key and can encrypt/decrypt their own messages. I don't think they would be brazen enough to send it to themselves in plain text.
Blogs are wonderful and still there - they’re just much harder to find because there is so much OTHER content now. The web used to be almost nothing but blogs.

For example, this blog is pertinent to what I’m doing and I didn’t find it for weeks: https://www.northernbuilt.pro/ and only found it by a link to a YouTube video from another one from another one.

I have heard both of these claims frequently but have never been presented with any evidence. Sounds like it could be a "just so" story for gun control advocates.
Considering how easy it is to implement these things without anyone noticing since it's closed source, you have to assume it is happening in any scenario where you need any decent opsec. Even in scenarios where you don't, there's been enough cases of similar things happening with well-known apps and services to be wary.
Can we get a better headline?
Starbucks aims to taste burnt*. Espresso in Italy doesn't. Agree boutiques often have a flavor too far forward for espresso as you'd find it in Italy.

I prefer the Apache or Mozilla Public Licenses myself. But I accept the AGPL and the GPL family of licenses will consider useing software licensed under them in limited ways (it isn't clear how the AGPL interacts with infrastructure software).
>In Warsaw, one of the best cafes, I mean world class, they make their own tonic for tonic espresso, is a short stroll away from Starbucks[1]. Yet, that Starbucks does just fine.

I read an article once about a starbucks moving next door to a specialty coffee shop. They freaked out initially, but counterintuitively, sales actually went up.

I think these markets may actually be more separate and complementary than we realize.
Imagine the admin required to setup and manage something like that...

If implemented now, what about in 2032 when you're watching re-runs from 2022?

What if the store goes bust or styles change?
Another idea: test a null hypothesis. Block with your pi-hole or a proxy all the facebook traffic so the messages won't work. Then reproduce with the same exact behavior with your wife (it would be better if you both could get a clean identity and then repeat the exact same conversations and topics, but getting a clean identity is not that easy) so all the external factors are the same except the facebook connection itself. It could be even more granular by trying to block just enough so it won't send the messages, allowing facebook ad trackers, etc.

If you try this several times, the messages are not working and the corresponding ads show up you can be sure that it is not because they are reading your messages. Which does not rule out the possibility that they might read them, but at least you can be 100% sure that your ads are not showing up because of your messages in this case.

If they do show up you could then try discarding other factors like client-side keyword analysis e.g.: talking about very generic things which are not useful to ad trackers like "how you going?", etc (ie. awkward elevator conversations), but it is harder to test a null hypothesis for client-side keyword analysis.
Meh. I think the ratio didn't change at all, it is just that contractors jacked up their rates to cover the added NIC. To me it seemed like someone in HMRC/govt got a "win" but all the govt agencies just had to pay more for their contractors. Almost zero-sum but actually net negative because of added bullshit.

I left UK when it only covered govt agencies so not sure what the mitigations were for private sector but I'm sure many found a way around.

try an external source of true randomness for choosing your test topics. choices that seem random to you may be totally predictable.

i know that's wild, but also often true. humans are bad at randomness. there may be no direct leak at all of your test topics, they might just be guessable based on everything that is known about you, people like you and things you've been presented or looked at.
There's a YouTube channel devoted to analyzing actual footage of violent, mostly gun related crimes. "Active Self Protection" https://m.youtube.com/c/ActiveSelfProtection

A pattern you see is that simply _having_ a gun is a massive massive deterrent. When the victim finds an opportunity to counter ambush, they can very frequently prevail. If they practice even a little they will be more skilled than most criminals, who don't even know how to hold a gun many times.
So the government should pass laws that tell private companies what they can’t talk about. But the government should also pass laws that force companies to publish every other opinion? Isn’t that the government now controlling free speech?

Isn’t the government in fact pushing a narrative when they don’t allow companies to focus on sexual an racial harassment? Should companies not train interviewers that you shouldn’t discriminate based on someone’s accent or where they went to school?

If I set up a website where I want to talk about Christianity should I not be allowed to ban discussions about Islam or vice versa?

And there are very much “labels” when I as Black person was the dev lead for local company in the South where any time consultants and vendors came in they automatically assumed one of my reports - a white guy - was the manager.

It even happened at a business lunch with my team. The waitress asked the table in general was this one check or separate. I said one check, started pulling out my wallet and she still handed the check to the guy who I assume looked like a manager even though I was the only one reaching for a credit card.

My family is “labeled” all of the time when we “look like we don’t belong” somewhere in our city that was as recently as the mid 80s a “sundown town” and we are still very much the minority (less than 4%).

My 6 foot 5 step son who has lived in the burbs all of his life is very much “labeled” when he walks into a store.
Just replace the motherboard with a GPU board with cooling solution on the bottom, and CPU socket on top along with all other connectors. Make them in 2 standard heights so cases can be standardized. The boards will have NO slots since the board IS the video card. This is of course only slightly serious, I prefer to use AMD chips with integrated GPUs and SFF. But for those that care about GPU capability lets just change the priority of the components and build the PC on top of the graphics solution.

I have been mugged, in dangerous places, as a young adult. I think that being armed in those situations would have greatly increased my chances of being more seriously harmed. Those experiences taught me to be more aware of potentially dangerous situations. Although I'm not against personal firearms in principle, I believe that teaching greater awareness rather than arming is a more productive approach to safety.
> [B]ecause of the async keyword, library developers would also have to make a different sync/async of each function they want to declare.

This is a program with async in general, no? Go avoids this by just having everything be async, but that seems unsuitable for Rust since you won't have control over when your code executes and what thread it executes on, not a problem for applications but it would seem to rule out things like kernel modules and firmwares, as well as require every type to be Send + Sync (which ultimately means the language must be garbage collected).

In Python for example I've written async and sync versions of a library, and some magic testing that makes sure both implementations return the same results.

> These are not small issues and will only continue to get worse as people are forced to choose one route, leaving others to use a different language.

Honestly this doesn't seem like a problem to me. I think there's room for many languages in this world. Rust is a wonderful language but it isn't a "one true language." People should choose a different language if it suits them better. That's no more an indictment of Rust than it's an indictment of Python when I embed Rust in a web app - that's not a place where Python shines.
This is good news, it's poorly defined, badly thought out, keep failing even in english courts) and unfairly (and unproductively) stops people from earning more and taking more risk.
IMO, it is a lot like wine, there may be some tastes-bad-to-almost-everyone options, but there are not universal tastes-good-to-everyone options.

Making coffee is really basic chemistry. The beans themselves, the degree of roast, the water chemistry, the water temperature, the filter, and the brew time all affect the outcome. A combination that tastes great to you may not taste great to me. I have found it best to read a bit, and experiment.

One benefit of coffee chain stores is that you should be able to know what you are going to get when you order a "Foo", whereas independent shops will likely all make a Foo slightly differently.

If you read the history of the Clover machine and the initial concept it was pretty cool. You as the user would have a token that held data on how you liked your coffee brewed. You could go to a non-chain coffee store with a Clover machine, scan your token, and get a cup that was made with your specific preferences, allowing you to get something more consistent to your ideal cup at a greater variety of places. Then Starbucks bought out the company, and now you can get a Clover brewed coffee at select stores, and it's good, but it's not the initial vision.
Since the changes of IR35 this statement "Inside IR35" would mean you're controlled like an employee, and taxed so." is not really true.

Only thing that matters from the IR35 perspective is whether the service needs to be performed by a specific person in the business. All the rest is irrelevant. If the work is personal, then it is in scope.

Risk averse companies can declare contract in scope by simply fettering substitution clauses or not having them at all.

It doesn't matter if business providing service is legitimate or not.
I think the discussion misses the important problem.

It is possible to design a system where the algorithm will try to imitate a human being making human errors.

There is, I think, couple of ways to do it. One way would be to not be greedy and only get help from time to time. So if I was the player I would not rely for the algorithm for every move, just sometimes. Just enough so that it makes a difference.

If you remember, Allies broke Enigma but decided to restrict the use of intelligence thus obtained to not alert Axis to the fact. Which is essentially the same idea here -- the question is "How much help can I use before it becomes provable that I am getting help?"
I've never been there but I don't mind the Starbucks. I'm just pointing out that plenty of people still go there when a vastly superior choice is easily available.

>You used to have social interactions when waiting anywhere

London perfected ignoring everybody long before even the rise of mass circulation newspapers according to diaries of family who knew the place a hundred years ago. The Tube of the eighties celebrated the apotheosis of ignoring one another and the British seem to make a art form out of studious but "polite" asociability* in every queue.

Actually reading this discussion I've realized that I have seen almost nobody using headphones in London in recent years, eliminating possibly the highest barrier to interaction. Curiouser I have most recently only noticed people glued to their phones whilst walking not standing at the bus stop.

*as opposed to anti social manners for clarity
Oh absolutely! I guess I'm confusing my own point - which is / was that in some places cell towers are showing up -before- wireline connections.
It's hard to encrypt "all". "End to end" encrypted would mean that a message is encrypted while in transit. "At rest" encryption would mean that the plain text message is not saved on storage, just the cypher. Software however can behave in a way that all of these are true, yet, the plain text is readable by a third party. For example, the app can send the plain text after you decrypted it. Or the encryption could have multiple keys that can decrypt; you can have a private key for yourself, and the authorities could have a master private key that decrypts all. Your phone could have a middleman between the touchscreen and the application, and so, your "keystrokes" can be stored and sent somewhere, for example, by your keyboard application.
That might not help without the size of the astronomy building, the size of the models, or how long the walk was to the nearest star.

Here are some approximate dimensions. In Miami the sun would be 9in or 22cm[1], the inner solar system could be depicted on a line 120ft or 35m[2] long, and Pluto would be about 1000yds or 1km[3] away.

Divide by two if the university is in San Francisco, which is about 2000 miles away from Anchorage rather than 4000. Or divide by ten if the university is in Alaska and the nearest star's model is only 400 miles away.

I'm not sure the word "trained" is that appropriate. The last handful of generations of men have been failed by their male elders in terms of learning how to successfully interact with women, or so much as how to do basic home repair. To say that men adapt to push for what they want makes more sense because either they figure it out or they don't. The need to take initiative with women is not a figment.

> I can’t help but wonder if we’d be better off if we got rid of this dynamic.

The vast majority men don't push, at least not in a way that is predatory. To further disarm men over the small minority of predatory (and possibly more reproductively successful) men would not be helpful even to women.

> Like if we expected men and women to both initiate instead of women being taught to wait for men to pursue them.

Good luck with that. This completely dismisses women as actual physical beings with their own behaviors and interests as opposed to a figment.

Why exactly would women not wait for men to pursue them? Women only have so many opportunities to bear children, whereas men can theoretically impregnate 100s of women for the 9 months that a single woman is pregnant. What incentive does a woman have to give away her eggs to men who don't go out of their way to show they are willing to commit? What incentive do women have when the sexual encounters are far more available to them than the other way around on average? If a man doesn't have the courage to go up against all odds, including her initial rejection of him, then how likely will he succeed at defending her while she's pregnant and vulnerable?

Not only is there no incentive for women to pursue men, but they've not had this incentive for millions of years. Some part of that dynamic is baked, as is the male propensity for violence.
You can allow unprivileged apps to use privileged ports, its just a simple sysctl edit.
I'd certainly say it has merit - large companies have separate teams maintaining the Kubernetes/Git/CI/AWS/emailing/auth/etc cloud setup that's used by individual product teams, and what else is that if not "platform engineering"? They don't have anything to do with development, we have in-team DevOps guys for that kind of work - configuring the provided K8s for our particular services, making use of the cloud services the platform team has made available to us, writing the Dockerfiles, etc.

If your company is just one product or one team, it might be used as a buzzword. Not when there's tens of products, hundreds of dev teams and thousands of microservices - maintaining this kind of platform is a very distinct discipline from DevOps.
>> At least four agencies within the United States Department of Defense, including the Army and Navy, have collectively spent at least $3.5 million on a little-known data monitoring tool with the reported ability to provide access to vast swaths of email data and web browsing activity.

Seems like a fair question. At a glance, it produces the same code as Travis's preferred solution: https://godbolt.org/z/7oPhxEs5E. Anyone with more taste in C++ code able to answer? I'm more comfortable with C than C++, but this would be my preferred answer (if somehow knew in advance that it was going to produce good code).

That sucks, sorry that happened. It's just one experience though. Last night our TV news featured a female jogger who was slowly followed by a car for a while, and was terrified until she got to someone's house and got some help. Being armed would have made that less frightening, and if it turned into an attack she would have had decent odds since she was well aware of the threat.

From what I've read about sexual assaults, they often start with intimidation, while the attacker works up the nerve and gauges how his target responds. Robbery by an experienced team isn't the same sort of thing.
Every Dunkin will make a half Dunkaccino half black coffee that is far less terrible than the Dunkaccino straight.

We definitely have too many candidates. In practice, other filters, rightly or wrongly, cull the herd to only "serious candidates". Basically, ability to raise money and get endorsements. If you squint, they both kinda look like forms of social proof.

The political parties used to be the filter, but now they're impotent. For better or worse.

> I don't think I warrant that status.

Maybe not. But name some "journalists" in corporate media who have your credibility and authenticity.

By my definition, you are far more of a journalist than most talking heads and pundits can even claim to be. (Whereas anonymous coward me is not.)

A "professional journalist" also has the resources to do fact checking and corrections (errata).

Most of the news and analysis I consume today comes from podcasts, bloggers, and books.

That's not great.

Using Manufacturing Consent's thesis of media filters, because I don't have another model, it comes down to who is "in charge". Right now, our society's choices for mass news are corporate propaganda and corporate recommenders (algorithmic hate machines). Some people can afford to buy high quality bespoke news. Some are quirky or crazy enough (news junkies) to keep their own ledger (bozo list).

There are some exceptions. HN, metafilter, user groups (aka special interest groups) like some subreddits and ravelry.org, can also provide higher signal to noise over a longer time frame.

I think that depends. When I walk around the city as a man and I'm about to cross paths with larger man or more than one man I'm judging if I might get harrased, think what I'll do if I am and sometimes if I judge risk to be high and I have time to act, I go in another direction to avoid getting close.
Really, really well done. 3D mode was especially cool. I remember having the official Matrix screensaver (remember www.whatisthematrix.com?) and being a little disappointed that the glyphs and animation didn't seem right. This is spot on - fantastic!
