>Contributing factor is that racism against indigenous Australians is somewhat fueled by the same sort of rhetoric that became popular in the Trump election campaign.

indigenous Australians have been the victims of racism and racist action for centuries. Trump's effect on them -- if there is any at all -- is a small blip in their history.

Your attempt to shoe-horn your personal issues into this feels apparent to me.
Krebs on his credit report:

> Glad I checked, too, because the info in there is so completely wrong I don't even know where to start.

So a guy who holds himself out as a security expert hasn't even been monitoring his own credit report. I guess the Ubiquiti incident already made clear this guy is a charlatan.
We're in the same boat, in many aspects. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
I do not agree with the CTO comparison looking at your examples. It seems you are a very broad tactical specialist. For CTO roles you however also need to be able to set a strategy, I do not see that. Frankly if you would be able to do that, you would have made a 5 year plan for your career and did not raise this question.
Sure, you can solve all problems thrown at you. But can you make a plan that prevent these problems even exist?
So: where do you want to be 5 years from now? What position or role do you want to be then? How do you get there?
Answer these questions, and I think you will have a general idea of your current elevator pitch.
I’m not sure I understand. You think you have CTO skills because you’re … applying CS to specific problem domains? You sound more like a dev/PM/TPM hybrid.
Criticism appreciated.

The main README now contains install and build instructions.

The main body of the book will, over time, be updated to include build instructions for each example.

As per date... I'm at a loss. I believe my own machines are set correctly.
I had something similar to that on my MacBook and ended up giving up on it. I frequently ended up tripping a soft-fuse or something and the port would stop working until I either put the MacBook to sleep or shut it down (I forget which). Once it started back up, the port worked again.

It was nice to have a "mag-safe" USB-C, but frustrating to have the port stop charging randomly - something I always ended up noticing when my laptop throttled down to a crawl as it reached near-0% battery.

> I am more that certain Apple would abuse the standard to force the users to only buy its cables.

Based on iPhones with Lightning connectors supporting USB C PD charging for years now as well as various iPads with USB C/Thunderbolt connectors supporting many "USB C features" such as docks with HDMI and USB A ports, I'm curious why you are "more than certain" that Apple would change this behavior in the future. Could you care to elaborate?
The choice of development system and configuration is a matter of personal choice.

Personally, I find laptop screens too close and I need my reading glasses. Whilst with the three desktop LCDs they are further away and I don't need the glasses.
The speech recognition itself is pretty amazing right now but the command system, with one statement one action and capability via third party integrations puts some constraints on usefulness I feel. I have seen at least one example of Google neutering the capability of its assistant in order to pursue other ends. Which was playing albums on YouTube via voice which they now hide behind YouTube prime.
You missed 1983’s 68451 segment/limit MMU for the 68010, as well as 1985’s 68020 with 68851 PMMU. There also were MMU implenentations for 68K without instruction resumption—Lisa had one, and Apollo initially used two 68000s to support resumption. Finally, there really isn’t much reason to call the Macintosh operating system “DOS-like” or “hidden;” it wasn’t exposed to the user or developer at all except via APIs, and wasn’t some sort of text-based system that had a graphical interface layered on top of it.
Huh, TIL. My phone, gamepad, and headphones charge just fine with a C-to-C cable. I guess I’m glad to have somehow managed to avoid devices with that fuckup…
Anybody who puts important meds into checked luggage is really to blame for their problems. Bags get lost even when airlines don't have catastrophic breakdowns of their normal operations and taking this risk is really not necessary as meds can totally be carried in carry-on. It's really unfortunate that this is causing problems for people but it's totally preventable.
Native UIs are becoming an anachronism pretty fast. Free-form web and electron based apps are becoming the norm and it won't be to long before people see native UI apps as some sort of weird throwback.

IE. IMO that ship has sailed and using lower level/cross platform graphics stacks make a lot more sense these days.
"Therefore, on the Lisa display there are 3 pixels in the horizontal dimension for every 2 pixels in the vertical. These different resolutions do compIicate, slightly, the design of the Lisa graphics soft- ware. For example, the software must remember that a graphical object 150 by 100 appears as a square, however
100 by 100 is a rectangle."

Glad this convention died. Definitely a "clever" hack to save memory bandwidth resulting in a lot of pain for future generations.
Word choice. Government officials, primarily unelected, conspired to secure supplies for their agencies first, and we're willing to knowingly lie and politicize to do it.

Was it pragmatic? Sure. Morally right? Probably no, if ends don't justify means.

Doesn't mean the pragmatic answer also wasn't a conspriacy.
I've had good luck requiring someone to make an appointment and pick up free stuff. No need to deal with money, they still get the stuff for free and seems to cut out the time wasters.
This is going to sound cynical or possibly even dismissive, but not all cave art is alike and it is possible that the cave in question wasn’t prioritized for study or preservation because it was common or relatively unremarkable from an archaeological perspective.

I’m not saying it was unworthy or worthless, but given the limited amount of resources and grant money to go around, this cave may simply have been neglected in favor of the others.
I am not an Australian but I've been to Australia and have Australian friends and colleagues. "Racism" is not quite the right word for what's been done to the aboriginals, it's more like the genocide committed against indigenous people in the Americas. Aboriginals are "Black" but that's beside the point - the British did a very thorough job trying to wipe them off the face of the planet. Think Trail of Tears level horror if you're familiar with US history.

If you want to read about things that are even more truly horrific, read up on the history of Tasmania. It was even worse there.

"Like the other targeted artworks, the painting was not damaged by the stunt"

Unless you're referring to the 1914 vandalism the article mentions.
The perceived wave function collapse is explained by decoherence. There is no extra “split” that happens. “World” is just a term referring to the parts of the universal wave function that are entangled with each other.

As to “exactly when the universe will split into many worlds”, it happens zillions of times per second pretty much everywhere. It’s even not clear whether the branching is a discrete and countable occurrence, it could really be a continuous fanning out.
Thanks for the update. I’m sure the people around you appreciate the calm you’re demonstrating. I hope you’re able to salvage some of your holiday plans.
I beg to differ. Even in a country like Canada where world-class medicine is available to everyone for free, it's quite possible to suffer a great deal before you eventually die from a terminal illness. Canada's constitution guarantees everyone the "right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice."

By criminalizing the act of helping a terminally ill person to die, we are forcing that person to choose between "a life of severe and intolerable suffering," or forcing her to "take her own life prematurely, often by violent or dangerous means." The court ruled that forcing this choice deprived Canadians of their right to "life, liberty and security of the person."

The Supreme Court of Canada's judgement is worth reading [1]:

"It is a crime in Canada to assist another person in ending her own life. As a result, people who are grievously and irremediably ill cannot seek a physician’s assistance in dying and may be condemned to a life of severe and intolerable suffering. A person facing this prospect has two options: she can take her own life prematurely, often by violent or dangerous means, or she can suffer until she dies from natural causes. The choice is cruel."

Soft plastics haven't been recycled in a long time. I trash those.
I think the original lite scratched the itch of just being very, very simple.

This is a bit less simple, but still decidedly more so than many other editors.

It has very few dependencies, statically builds, and is just generally pretty extensible, whilst also being not an embedded web browser.

What drew me to it was just the ease of creating new functionality. When I found it, it didn't have any perl syntax highlighting, so I looked into how to add that.

It took me literally five minutes to get basic highlighting working. I'm not joking, with no previous exposure to the editor, and having not touched lua in years. After I had finished, I just kinda sat there, and went: "Huh.".

I looked over the editor, and pretty much got the gist of it in a single day. I can't say that's ever happened before to me for something so feature-filled. I've tried to add plugins to other non-browser editors (like Code::Blocks, or Padre), and it was always a complete shitshow, and incredibly time-consuming and confusing (I still have trouble compiling Code::Blocks on my system, due to a huge esoteric error dump that popped at one point, and is proving frustratingly difficult to resolve). Lite just kinda worked out of the box with no real resistance. I really liked that about it.
I like the many-interpretations interpretation of quantum. It says that you should believe all of them, or rather, choose a different interpretation based on your mood. For the optimistic, it's many-worlds. If you are going out tonight & hoping to get lucky, it better be Copenhagen. If you are falling into despair then it's going to be superdeterminism for you.
Just once I want to find out the vast shadowy conspiracy controlling everything is the Hare Krishnas, or the Mormons or... the Armenian Mafia. The Phoebus lightbulb cartel. A coven of witches. Anyone but "the Jews." Again.

Even the current moral panic and conspiracy complex around transgendered people leads to anti-semitism if you follow the strings and thumbtacks.

> takes in the last few frames of video, and outputs steering + accelerator + brake commands

Isn't this pretty close to what Tesla does?

Cars phone home with timestamped video from multiple cameras plus data on what hundreds of thousands of human drivers do, also timestamped.

Use all the human events to train a DNN to make similar decisions as humans.

Then augment that with GPS, maps and routing to a destination.
It's important to preserve modernist and brutalist architecture, so I can sort of see their point. I'm surprised there isn't another option in that specific case though (Can they not just add doors to the stairwell? Or do they oppose that too?)

Too much brutalist architecture is being covered in tacky "neo-classical" plaster facades.

It depends where you are. Cairns is very different from Sydney, for example, with indigenous Australians being relatively better integrated (at least as far as I observed growing up there), although there are other race relations issues in Sydney also.
I wonder if there is another 30k-year before this 30k-year where the drawings would also be considered a destroyer?
I'm not talking about having a discussion with them. I'm talking about attending highschool in a country town with 30% indigenous population.

Also I'm acutely aware of what their people have endured. I personally don't feel like it justifies the behavior that I encountered in my schooling years.
You don't have to speculate. Shadow banning was created because banning with explanation results in users engaging in ban evasion.

Detecting user's ban evasion is to engage in a costly cat and mouse game between evaders and detectors. Shadow banning, however, is easy to implement and cost effective. Platforms that do it save resources compared to those that don't.

Your comment reads like you don't like that platforms have more power than users and you resent that it's not an even playing field. That's a fair point, but it would be easier to say that if that's how you feel.

I suspect it's both. Dude stays up late reading Twitter, gets a bit maudlin because he's alone and does the stoner "just thinking about the big questions maaan" thing.

Then he eventually sleeps, gets a bunch of "we're getting hammered by the public" emails when he wakes up and says "ah, but it's all engagement you see. This is my business genius."

Ignoring that the reason that sounds right to him is because it excuses him from the idea that he's ever done anything wrong.
Great write-up. This applies to other industries such as dealerships with parts and service and various purchase plans. The software sucks for everyone except finance/accounting and that office is beside the Pres's office and therefore it won't change.
There isn't some physical event in MWI that splits worlds. It's just a consequence of decoherence.
The many-worlds interpretation is badly named: the "worlds" are just particularly classical-looking regions of the wavefunction we've chosen to draw some lines around for our own convenience. They're part of the map, not the territory.

It's true that a decohering system will have exponentially more classical-ish parts over time - but the parts get smaller at the same rate, and the total size of the system remains the same.

Non-square pixel graphics systems were quite common back then.
Does that argument hold for all of us?
The massive changes in native UIs look and feel over the last couple decades really has made me double down on the CLI as the best interface. The CLI and the terminal are well established UIs with no big changes in a long time. The last big development I can think of is the use of sub-commands in addition to the normal command line call parameters.

I now focus on making my shell/terminal environment as good as possible and ignore GUI land whenever possible. Which today pretty much means 99% of the time I'm running a bunch of terminals and a couple web browsers.

This looks great! I have loved the UI of Dark Sky (to the point of continuing to use the "Darker Sky" modified APK for Android, which is now due to die off in the next few days). So, seeing a replacement for the desktop site is wonderful. Also, I did try out the "Add to Home" instructions for mobile, and that works nicely!

I was about to comment that the multi-value graph at the top of the page was distracting and taking up space. Looking at it again, I can see a bit more use out of it, although perhaps still not my first preference. Comparing it vs the current Dark Sky site, I do prefer the existing large current temperature value as the initial visual focus.

The other thing I love about Dark Sky is the visual appearance and the resolution of the precipitation radar map on mobile, including the timing of animating the radar updates over time and the coloring of the base globe. I've tried out a bunch of other Android apps and haven't found anything that _quite_ replicates that. If you could reasonably replicate that, it'd be really neat.

Thanks for putting this together!
Leadership is challenging, and a very small percentage of the population have good leadership skills. A random person almost certainly won’t, and would be unable to do the job, whereas virtually every candidate in an election has already had a long career as an effective leader.
> It's pedantic to say it, but copyright is not directly intended to help creators; its purpose is to enrich the public by inspiring creators to produce more. Helping creators profit/benefit from their work is a means to an end.

If you look at the history, the purpose is to enrich publishers, and everything else is simply to make the legislation more palatable.

If there was truly concern about enriching the public domain, the system would be dramatically different.

It would be far more surprising if there were extensive documentation of someone the Romans thought of as "a random cultist who was convicted of heresy" than that the only surviving records of the historical Jesus were from his followers.
I’ll be driving 18 hours rather than risk a flight rescheduled 5 days (soonest available) after the original flight being cancelled, being cancelled again. Stuff sucks man. $2200 to rent a minivan for two days one way.
wouldn't it be a whole lot easier for the script being curled to just detect it was running as part of a `curl | bash` pipeline and bail out with a message?

if [ ! -t 0 ]; then echo "script must be run interactively, etc."; exit 1; fi

of course that's equally useless because as someone else said, the root problem with doing `curl | bash` in the first place is that you are putting the trust in someone else's server, so you can't fix that "server side". what the article is proposing is a whole lot of magic detect `curl | bash` from his safe server, where's it's already safe.
It's true, that's the basic principle Starlink dishes and satellites operate on - they use phased antenna arrays: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phased_array

This has always been the case. Before, it was the threat of imprisonment for speaking out against your government, and having higher taxes levied. Now, it's simply privacy, since that is the key to the countries/companies gaining without literally stealing from you.
Over a Hundred Years Later, People Are Still Shocked by Non-Representational Art
Sometimes -- as I believe is true in the author's case -- these tasks and positions are low-skilled and fungible. The extra helper was lifting things, moving and arranging things, and peeling the plastic wrappers off new parts.

Nearly any able-bodied worker can do those tasks, and they don't require much skill. That doesn't mean they have no value to the overall process; obviously they do. But there's a big difference between finding and hiring a trained welder (or training someone up), and finding any random worker who can lift things and follow some basic instructions.

Absolutely agree with you that focusing only on the "value add" tasks can cause blindness. But that doesn't make the other "non value add" tasks somehow high-skill, high-quality, difficult-to-replace tasks.

There should be MAJOR fines and penalties here. The reasons stuff like this happens all the time, is because it's just a business expense to the company, while they strand real people in incredibly difficult and often dangerous and occasionally life threatening situations. But for the airline, it's just good business.

Would 100% support an executive getting a long prison sentence on this as well. I know it will never happen but serious consequences are the only way stuff like this stops happening.

I think a large chunk of this is the tendency in larger Rust projects to split themselves up into smaller library crates, rather than single crate monoliths: single libraries that you use may depend on 5 different crates all from the same project, that count as separate in the number you’ve quoted. On top of that, C bindings tend to live in their own crate, so while you might depend on the openssl crate, it in turn depends on openssl_sys which contains raw bindings (rather than a nice Rust wrapper). That all said, I think crates.io is still at the initial stage of “tiny crates each doing a single thing” that I think every registry goes through to begin with.
Guess which has more nitrites: a hot dog or a single arugula leaf?

The scientists raising the alarm about these correlations can’t explain why eating nitrites would cause such harms.

So when does decoherence happen? Provide a formula for it. That is what people struggle with in quantum mechanics, MWI just deflects the question. Without a formula for when this phenomena happens any "interpretation" is just nonsense, except as a tool to get towards that formula.
I guess it depends on what it is. A friend of mine’s family owns some land where Tanum carvings are: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Carvings_in_Tanum.

The government probably knows the carvings are there but doesn’t really force his family to take any steps to protect the rocks as far as I’m aware. They are just chilling in the forest covered in moss and dead leaves all the time.

I suspect they would have something to say if his family tried to develop the land though.
