Yeah I think we're all in agreement here.
It's not Go's duty to provide this capability. Internet, more specifically HTTP has breed many methods to do this over the years. Current iteration is APIs and their different flavors.

They didn't. They made a hard fork and the community followed. The "hacked" chain still exists, go use it if you want.
Oh that's not a problem, there are so many ways to make it seem innocuous. Let's start with the fact that 80% of legit devs will just never notarize if they can instead tell users "go through this flow to use my app, not my fault apple bad". Like on macOS, it becomes routine after 3rd time.

And if you believe exploiting evergreen Safari from JS to arbitrary execution is the same as directly running malicious instructions that came in sideloaded app then I have nothing more to say.

I think it's just very common. When I was in high school, I built my own C compiler just to learn how things work under the hood.

I'd assume that it's similar for others in that their programming languages aren't up to date or practically usable, but more like cool side-effects of their learning journey.
This is a huge deal, but not as big as it is being made out to be. This is only a fractional output, there is still significant work required to make this feasible for use outside the lab.
TikTok used to be called musical.ly and was a platform for publishing short playback lip-sync and dance videos. If you're dead-set on naming an intellectual relative among 'western' apps/sites, Vine would be the closest fit (which was basically Twitter for videos and, appropriately, purchased by Twitter and later shut down).
Propably not, but a solid understanding of the rules and regulations, and legal requirements, of your field and thebindustry your working in is actually a pretty good thing.

Guessing based on how things go in the UK:

> Profit? Aren’t all of your provincial healthcare systems publicly run and publicly funded? I feel that there are two issues.

The directly publicly run parts are only subject to the "efficiency" part. But more and more gets contracted out where it's also subject to profit pressure.

> The second is your confederation’s central government is weak. Your provinces have too much power, and they’re the ones controlling the healthcare systems which seem to be managed completely differently from one province to another rifht?

That's pretty backwards. Locally managed healthcare tends to beat centrally managed. It also helps inject a bit of competition in, gaining many of the benefits of for-profit healthcare without so many of the downsides.
Completely agree, this bloke has no idea what's he's yapping about.

It's not arbitrary, GP stated it was a 3 bit counter. In GGP (or something, not sure how far down in the thread we are), they were referring to a 32 bit int counter until overflow. If you bin each number from 0 to 2^32 - 1 by mod 3, you don't get 3 bins of equal sizes, 1 bin always comes out smaller.

Indeed, in New Zealand, for residential housing we have traditionally avoided such materials due to earthquakes. Timber framing is better at moving with the energy of an earthquake, so less likely to fail, and when it fails, well, it's far less heavy if it lands on you.

The only injuries that occurred timber framed houses in Christchurch in the 2011-02-22 earthquake were from brick chimneys falling through the roof.
> American presence in the DMZ is an immediate no-go when it comes to a plausible 'threat of invasion'.

It need not do any simulation at all. Representing this as an animation should be very doable. Probably 2^4 animations (1 for each potential state of a cell) then you just need to tile the animations and replace sub pixels as needed. So you start out showing a zoomed in view of the animation. As you zoom out you tile based on the animation shown one layer up. The exact tiling is probably tough, but easier than actually simulating and keeping tons of state

Altcoin devs are not paid well; Bitcoin devs make entirely normal SWE salaries according to public information, and I can't imagine DogeCoin or whatever is any better. All the big money is in marketing, since that's what creates the value.
I understand why devs choose Electron and the benefits seems worth it overall and I'm glad it exists (and as you point out, a video editor might be an especially appropriate application for electron). That being said, it has a cost, and part of that cost is that there are certain users who don't like the experience of using electron apps. You may not agree with how big a deal this is for them, but the tone of this seems to be that they are wrong for having that preference. As a dev you don't really get to decide what users do and don't like; it's of course your prerogative to make whatever tradeoffs you wish, but I'd be careful about denying people's experience of your software.

Hubert does something similar; it predicts masked spectrogram regions during its first phase, and then masked embeddings later in training. It's a bit of a pain to get the complicated training regimen to work well, though.
We do not currently use SAR! High-resolution SAR is currently very hard to find. Vendors like Capella Space are pretty pricey for HADR operations, though they do provide some data for deeply discounted/free prices for major disasters.

Beyond cost, SAR is just a deeply different form of imaging. The underlying physics that define a SAR image are so different from EO that many computer vision methods, in my opinion, will need to be re-invented to accommodate it. In fact, the next good bit of my Ph.D. is dedicated to accomplishing just that.

Urban scenes look very chaotic in SAR due to multi-path and layover effects. Defining damage in that environment is more aggregate than individual buildings. We're trying to figure out a good way to define what damage even means on SAR. In fact, one of the biggest accomplishments of our xView2 work was being the first comprehensive effort to define what damage means, for any natural disaster, from EO satellite imagery!
EU Advances Its Data-Flow Deal After U.S. Makes Surveillance Changes
But we don't hold the gun-industry accountable for mass-shootings. Maybe we should. But situation is a little bit similar here. The engineer created the gun. He didn't use the software to shoot people. Or maybe he did. The question is did he personally benefit from the change made more than his usual salary?

Or think about people who build bridges. They just follow the orders they get from higher ups. Bridge collapses. The higher-ups should be held accountable not the workers. The question I think is did the engineer here just follow orders? Perhaps he understood very little about finance, only about programming.

Right, but the entire point of the article is to talk about how construction evolved, in part as a response to the need to build many houses, quickly, and not require highly-skilled and specialized labor to do it.

What you are saying is also true, but is not pertinent to the article.
Is it really Tom Brady's responsibility to vet each and every one of his commercial offers? That seems unsustainable. He would have needed some pretty intimate knowledge of the crypto world along with the inner workings of FTX to know that it was a fraud. To me it seems like placing too much responsibility on people who shouldn't bear that responsibility.
Maybe. I suspect the amount of actual work to be done has dropped a lot. Surely it's worth trying a few steps in that direction.
> Traditional banks, for the most part, have DNA built around protecting customer interests and customer money.

Would you feel comfortable wiring your money off to a bank account in the Bahamas? I wouldn't. I think safety is more about jurisdiction (and therefore regulations) than it is about what type of currency a business deals in.

Bank DNA has always coded for taking foolhardy risks with customer money. It wasn't until heavy regulation came into play that banks stopped going bust left and right, at least in the USA. Even under heavy regulation, you still see their true colors from time to time such as when they discovered risk loopholes in 2008 that led to the financial panic.

Until regulation hits crypto custodians, they will largely be fly-by-night yokels that go bust left and right, just like the first American banks did. After regulation hits, they will be just as safe as modern banks (and likely, many crypto custodians WILL be modern banks - see e.g. Fidelity entering the custody business recently.)

> The real problem behind all these crypto companies is the people who make the money have no concept of what "integrity" is.

The entirety of Wall street has no concept of what "integrity" is. The solution was heavy regulation. It happened to banks, and it will happen to crypto. Crypto custodians are speed-running banking regulation.
This is a really good read, I only wish they covered more about open source as that is in conflict with their conclusion around software being capital.

The cost of hosting a website or application can vary depending on several factors, including the amount of traffic the website receives, the amount of storage, compute power, type of hosting(shared, dedicated, VPS, etc), bandwidth required, and the level of security and support needed. Therefore, it is not always the case that a high traffic website will necessarily have a higher hosting cost.

Additionally, the profitability of a hosting service depends on the specific business model and pricing strategy of the company providing the service. Therefore, it is difficult to provide a general answer to the question of profitability without more information about the specific company and its operations.

So, as someone learning to fly, I can say that the METAR format is actually pretty quick to learn and the standardization does make it pretty quick to read, effectively acting as a shorthand. I'm not going to say it couldn't be improved, but it's standardized enough, and contains information that's immediately relevant to everything you're doing, so it's something you pick up quick.

The same is not really true of the NOTAMs, at least as far as I can tell. They're much less standardized, being mostly just plain text with weird awkward abbreviations and all caps that make them slower to scan. There's all kinds of mostly irrelevant metadata; and a lot of the time there are so many of them, most of them not really relevant, that it's really easy to lose track of what is important.

So, I don't think there's much pressing reason to change the METAR format, but oh god do they need to reform the NOTAM system, both the format and better filtering for actual relevance.

Note that this is coming from a student pilot, but I've also seen more experienced pilots express similar frustration with NOTAMs.
I read the whole thing but stopped taking it seriously after this line:

This has some pretty bad implications if we think about obvious content problems like child abuse. And sure, algorithms can remove this from people’s feeds, but what about the victims?

Am I the only person who thinks this is a giant, glaring hole in this whole argument?
> I think we're just at the tip of the iceberg in terms of what software is...

Yes, agreed. Software is that magic dust that produces behavior. It's the technology that enables things to react to their environments. All life runs a form of software, you could say. Software will only increase in prevalence and importance as society continues to demand machines to behave in a certain way.

It strikes me that articles like this are more gripes against the development process of software rather than the end product. The end product did not "go wrong" and is in fact at the peak of complexity and usefulness, and this peak will continue to get higher and higher until we reach the singularity.

I suggest we do not lay all of our eggs in one basket.

Just like with Uber and the taxi / public transport industry, this demonstrates above all else how bad the state of the hospitality industry must be in order for such absurd developments to be even remotely possible.

Hotel chains have deep pockets, political influence, and centuries of entrenchment on their side. They should be invincible. Instead, they're getting crushed by companies that appeared out of nowhere in a single decade, and they appear to be completely helpless against it other than calling for lawmakers to protect them through regulations.
Need they do any simulation? I would need paper and some time, but can’t you store 16 animations of a cell and then just have the state as a zoom level, position in x y space (wrapping) and a time (in a loop). The rest should be calculatable assuming this is a true fractal which I think it is. 0 zoom is probably the starting position. Zooming in actually switches to maximally zoomed out with each cell following the prerecorded animation from a layer up based on the x y position. What state are you imaging?
