A couple of issues that came up for me when porting from x86 to ARM recently:

1. The x86 architecture gives programmers a lot of memory ordering guarantees, so that communication of values between threads does not usually need memory fences. ARM64 does not give so many guarantees, meaning that multi-threaded code may need additional memory fences to avoid data races. But data races due to out-of-order memory updates are hard to diagnose.

2. Page size in macOS is 4 kB on x86, but 16 kB on ARM, so if someone has hard-coded the page size rather than calling sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) this may need to be discovered and fixed.
There is nothing of note here. This paper should be in 'general math', not number theory. You need to know the Bernoulli numbers in order for this to work, which is more computationally difficult than computing pi. So what. Yeah, Plouffe is a famous person in computer science and math, but this does not measure up to the hype. It reminds me of the stuff i tinkered with in high school when i first learned infinite series ..but not publishable-level, sorry.
The first MP3 I downloaded was from IRC and played back on the Fraunhofer Institute MP3 player. Old timers will remember that if you caused your screen to redraw at all, say by scrolling a window, the audio would skip. The first song? Bob Dylan - Stuck in the Middle With You… which is actually by Steeler’s Wheel.
It's mine because the law says so.
Have they spoken about why they don't support it? Or plans to support it in the future?

It seems like the shortest path to a universal package management tool for Python is to add this capability to Poetry, rather than to build something new.

They'd certainly be relying on "fair use" defences, not "but it's not copyright violation if my kid learned how to do it" defences.
I looked at in terms of the "Fediverse", a coherent decentralized social network, with lots of instances cooperating to make one intentional thing. I'm still not bullish about that. But once you use it, you see that it's basically hyper-interactive RSS.

The trouble with cloud gaming is latency. Most solutions now just do a glorified remote desktop. It would require some rearchitecting, but why can't a client have an ultra-responsive frontend while farming out the heavy work to a cloud server somewhere? We're reaching a point where GPU's are becoming more and more expensive, so is a more distributed architecture the next step?
I think they understand it very well and it's part of the reason they don't push back on NSA power grabs. As Chuck Schumer said "let me tell you - you take on the intelligence community - they have six ways from Sunday of getting back at you."
Ask HN: Is there a certification for web services that respect users' privacy?
I am interested in using AI processing of data, e.g. audio transcription, but I don't want that data to be used further as it needs to remain confidential. I don't want it to be stored or analyzed beyond my needs.

It's not clear from reading any privacy policies if any companies provide this service or and explicitly state that they will never use data for unintended purposes.

Is there some standard that certifies this type of data privacy? I'm an individual user. It seems anything that has any degree of confidentiality is marketed for business.
I've been building Packj [1] to address exactly this problem. You can _audit_ as well as _sandbox_ installation of PyPI/NPM/Rubygems packages and flags hidden malware or "risky” code behavior such as spawning of shell, use of SSH keys, and mismatch of GitHub code vs packaged code (provenance).

> Being born in the same country as you does not entitle you to my property and work.

In that case you wouldn't be entitled to any of society's collective work either. Electricity? Sorry you didn't invent it. Fire? Not your intellectual property either, no heat for you. Have you reimbursed anyone for your use of a language you didn't create lately? After all, it's immoral to benefit from someone else's work.

Libertarians have this strange lack of awareness of the fact that the world we live in is built on millennia of other people's work, without which they'd be foraging naked in the mud with sticks.

> It enslaves the individual and post-hoc justifies the theft of their property with terms that they never agreed to and which were imposed on them as a child.

Leave then. You're no longer a child, it's in your power to simply start walking. What's stopping you? Perhaps the "collectivist" society is actually quite comfortable? Perhaps life outside of one isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Odd! Were you trying to fetch a public, CORS-enabled API? That should just work. If you were trying to make a network request for a non-CORS endpoint (eg fetch the google homepage or something), you'll need to add the domain to your permissions section.

> KDE is my desktop of choice. I feel like it captures the spirit of computing in the Windows 9x era.

I find this sad. It is a sign of lack of innovation in desktop environments.

As a teen I loved fiddling with linux because it had compiz/beryl, etc. You could make windows explode in fire when closed, see the desktop as a 3d cube, etc.

It was all trashy eyecandy, and of little use, but the point is that there was experimentation.

Nowadays I don't think there's a lot to see, the options are:

- 90's-like UX
- terminal focused setups (tiling windows managers, etc)
- dumbed down tablet-like experience.

Yes and no. You're assuming that everyone has the mental and physical ability to deal with something like this. Most people are not technical enough for really really basic tech tasks. It is rare that you would find someone who is a good therapist and can write software. Even rarer that someone would actually invest the time to build you the software you could tweak.

Officially, no. If you're travelling yourself by car/air/rail/sea, it's incredibly unlikely the officer will even know there's a difference.

Looking up the prescription regulations, only >2500 IU requires a prescription, so if you can find 2500s to import, that's over-the-counter and can be lawfully imported for 90d personal use. https://www.napra.ca/national-drug-schedules/?_nds_drug_name...

If you try to have 10000s mailed from USA by USPS, there's a very rare chance that it could be reviewed by Health Canada and they would deem it prescription-only and seize it, or they could "use their discretion" and still let it through anyway because seizing is a lot more paperwork.

Don't bother with UPS or Fedex shipping into Canada. Ever.

Note: if you're in Canada on a work/study permit, there are some exemptions allowing you to import non-narcotic prescription medications.

The article is rightfully flagged because it’s BS. The guy found something on little snitch and is suddenly exposing some dark company secret is the story? More like someone has decided to write an article seemingly with zero context or research on how the OS works, past and present. mediaanalysisd has been around since forever, a process most associated with Photos’ facial recognition but later expanded to other things like text and subject recognition. There are non nefarious reasons for mediaanalysisd to connect to the internet, like to update its models, which are run locally.

Oh yeah, I've used Poetry. I'm talking about Python out of the box. The dependency management ecosystem is super fractured and relies on 3rd party tools developing their own standards, and even then, they can't overcome fundamental limitations. For example, Poetry is great but locking/installation still takes way longer than Node because there are no declarative manifests.

I'm defending the right to own property, which is something really fundamental to the way we organize our society.

... and when you say "the people that were hurt"... If you leave your wallet on the street, it might be stolen and you might be hurt. I'm not blaming the victim; someone stealing your wallet is wrong even though you left it on the street. It's not your fault, I'm not blaming you, I blame the thief for the theft. On the other hand there's something that you could've done that would've avoided it - don't leave your wallet on the street.

Those people were not detained as prisoners of war but as unlawful combatants. The Taliban, Al Qaeda, and similar terrorist groups were not signatories to the Geneva Convention on Prisoners of War and their fighters did not wear uniforms, therefore they have no legal rights beyond what the US government chooses to grant. (I am not making any argument about the morality of this situation, just explaining the legal reality.)

On "old" versions you could - or at least you could not connect and it would allow to create a local account in this case. On the last one MS says you can't OOBE without the Internet, even with Pro, and at a first glance it seems you actually can't, but then you just press shift+F10, type oobe\bypassnro, and then it reboots and you actually can again.

I'm not sure why they consider that it makes any sense. Probably just a motherfucker higher-up who really like dark patterns and annoying their customers^W advertising targets, so MS can resell more private informations and they get a big bonus.
If you want to help make the Fediverse happen, there appears to be a serious need for energy and ideas in the standards effort.

This is a corporate policy issue.

80% of commercial trade book publishing in the US/UK/EU is dominated by five multinationals, the "Big Five" -- Penguin Random House, Simon and Schuster, Macmillan, Hachette, and HarperCollins.

Corporate policy at all of these companies except Macmillan absolutely requires DRM on digital products, no exceptions permitted. This policy comes from boardroom level and trickles down to contaminate every department. Remember, most of these companies are in turn subsidiaries of organizations with interests in other media: news, TV, film, and so on. DRM infected them decades ago and any attempt to change direction on it would be an admission of policy failure, which is the kiss of death to an executive career.)

Macmillan, the smallest -- and the English language arm of German conglomerate Holtzbrinck -- is privately owned, so not vulnerable to activist shareholders: they listened to their authors and publishers several years back and a number of their imprints publish DRM-free.

Other than that, many small/indie publishers gave up on DRM years ago. But they may not have what you want ...

There often seems to be an implicit assumption that the money funding defined benefit contributions came from a magic money tree somewhere (or at least did so until it turned out that the tree wasn't producing enough).

I know in the years that I was earning into a deferred benefit plan, I barely gave it a passing thought. And, had you asked me if I would prefer cash or for the equivalent to be funneled into some opaque benefits system that would hopefully pay out someday, I'm pretty sure what I would have chosen.

Are some people better with defined benefits? Almost certainly. But at some point you're being pretty paternalistic to say you should much less must take that option.

I think I would have eventually pushed through the dip, but I ended up badly injuring the elbow on my fretting hand side. This was when I was around 20. It was maybe for the best. I ended up getting into math instead which has lead me down an interesting path.

My impression is that real mastery requires periods of flow and periods of deliberate thought. When performing you want to flow, but practice should also incorporate the conscious and deliberate. Having the meta-cognition to reflect on where you are, where you want to be, and having the ability to plan how to get there are very important. I think this holds true beyond music.

What's wrong with Mastodon's UX? It's basically Twitter from ten years ago. The whole federated thing is a bit confusing but you can just use the default mastodon.social instance and not think about it.
Why even 20 though?

Over what period of time do new works make most of their money? Over what period are production companies their payback over when deciding whether to invest in new works?

I would suggest 5 years more than covers the above.

To me the point of copyright, and the only way you can defend a state sponsored monopoly is to encourage creation of new works. If 5 years does that, any more just prevents derivative works, which are new creations in their own right.

I'll grant that perpetual copyright is at least logically sound, but once you move away from that I don't see how you can make an argument for anything more than a minimal (enough to encourage creation) copyright term.
Yes and no. I would use KDE if either they went full Windows 98 in their style, or modern slick like GNOME.

Instead they have this bland Windows 10 flat look that has no personality.

The familiar Windows 98 gray had saturation, constrast and even a touch if colour (the gray tends a bit towards the red)

The modern KDE look is a diluted flat gray/desaturated cerulean blue which I really do not like. So uninspired, cold, clinical, corporate, clashing with that friendly look they want KDE to represent. It is uncanny, and while the GNOME design team loves to change stuff just for the sake of it, they have more taste and eye that whoever runs the design team at KDE.

Can we have a desktop that doesn't look like a poster that's been left in the sun for too long? Can we have contrast back and more colours than just light gray and light blue?
It's not about making me safer, it's about keeping offline OSes as an option. The ability to buy a general purpose computer and do arbitrary things with it is something we take for granted, but will never get back once we lose it.

I'm not invoking Ayn Rand or Objectivism here, merely basic mainstream economics. Imagining a single billionaire who has a bird feeding hobby is not realistic. True, I don't think an extremely wealthy bird feeder is going to cut back, but there's a continuum of producers and consumers all the way up and down the wealth scale and many of whom are price sensitive. A million different small adjustments all combine to re-allocate capital and labour to more efficiently allocate food towards people who are hungry. Manufacturers of bird feed packs may switch their ingredients on the margin away from grains that humans consume. Pig farmers may switch away from purchasing bread. Food processors, restaurants, etc will on the margin switch towards less wasteful/decadent products, since the relative increase in the price of staples make them more profitable than luxury foods. Distributors will find it makes sense to spend more money to buy food from further abroad, diverting trucks, trains, and ships from less urgent needs towards food transportation. All these millions of actions do have an effect.
