JFTR, While ago there was Tigan3D — a fully functional Blender-like 3D editor for Symbian S60 written in PyS60 (Python for S60), but development abandoned.[0,1,2]

There are SIS/SISX packages for S60v2[3] and S60v3[4]. Also there is de-compiled source (PyS60 1.4.5/Python 2.2.2).[5]

Whipper: Accurate Audio CD Ripping
For audio geek who wants a high quality audio extraction from their CD collection
I remember as a child being told we were going down the newly opened M1 "which is completely straight". I sat up (unconstrained by seatbelt) behind my dad expecting to be able to see London in the far distance, 80 miles away. Turned out it was not my idea of straight.
Ah right, yep that makes perfect sense and I agree on the comparison with Zwift too.

Strava are in a unique position compared to Garmin Connect.

Whist I use Garmin and they seem to be the most popular bike computers I still know lots of people in my cycling club that use Wahoo or Hammerhead units.

Strava is the place that everyone comes together after a ride.
Blog author here, in 2020 I released a DOS game built completely in my own Forth system. Fully open source and hackable. https://spindleyq.itch.io/neut-tower

The coolest application of the Forth philosophy in that project was actually building tools that integrate directly with the engine, imo. I built a map and tile editor directly into the game for quickly iterating on art and level design, and at one point even added a slide presentation engine for giving talks with that had live demos integrated directly into slides. The eureka moment was when I added map editing and realized that I didn't need to write a fancy GUI just for saving and loading maps, because I had a live Forth console running over the serial port. As soon as I'd written the save/load routines they were immediately, directly usable.

Death Road to Canada is another game I'm aware of that is written in Forth, for more modern platforms.
It's kinda funny how people think that firing people that are building fault tolerant distributed systems make the said systems immediately go down, including Elmo pulling the plug on a "critical rack" or whatever his tweet was. The effects will be seen in weeks, months or even years, as with any roles that were just removed but not replaced or covered.
I heard of pills for that low, but never seen them unless it was a bigger order.

The pills coming out of the Netherlands these days are absurdly potent - tests have found ones up to 350mg.

There's a lot of mythology out there about if different production methods change the "effect", but lab tests show no difference on a chemical level.

The problem today is that whenever there's a good stamp going around, there's always a knockoff that's just cheap speed and caffeine or some other shite.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but legal philosophy is real, and has a direct impact on what you are here calling "legal".

And price discovery is the result of people competing for scarce resources.

It appears reasonable at first glance, but upon further reflection it seems unlikely that the internet was the only factor influencing the riots. If the internet wasn't available, it's likely that some other means of communication would have been used to spread the news that sparked the unrest. There have been MANY instances of people trying to take over a government building before the age of the internet.

> Back in 1977, while riding a Yamaha XT 500 in the Abidjan-Nice Rally, a wealthy French motorcycle racer named Thierry Sabine got lost in the Libyan desert.

The Libyan desert is a very dangerous place. Cambyses son of Cyrus the Great ended up losing an entire army of tens of thousands of men in the Libyan desert. The army was never found. Later Alexander the Great also got lost in the Libyan desert and was only saved because he was able to see and follow some ravens.

"The vaccines are less risky than infection for children"

Can you back up that claim with long term studies?
For the core field operatives, it seemed many had unrealistic expectations of their chance of success, and were pumped on a success-or-death mentality. In retrospect it’s easy to see why that would lead to lax operational security. Now that they neither succeeded nor died in the attempt, the evidence is easy to find.
> We will go to such lengths as taking the child away and raising it elsewhere if that is what's best for them

Correction. "if we think that is what's best for them." Maybe it is, maybe it's not. It's kinda like the death penalty - the state can totally get it wrong, and mistakes have lifelong reprecussions.

> People don't get to murder their children and get away with it.

Again, this seems like a weird strawman. And like I implied before, balance that possibilty with the liklihood it's the state doing the murdering. I'd rather have a distributed system of parents putting a majority of their time and attention into figuring out what's best for their own kid -- rather than a bureaucratic state that's playing politics and influenced by lobbyists, deciding what's probably best for the majority of the kids.

If you are saying this approach would tend to produce a lot of change-detector tests, then that is an issue, but I think scotty79 is making a different point: this approach would seem to make it easy to overlook any regressions that the latest change has created.

There is also a temporary speed limit that 99% of drivers simply can not obey and that is 40 MPH, it's as if there is some external force at play?

You might want to conjure up a different example. I am having trouble considering enforcement of speed limits to be dystopian.

Three quick points- despise Musk as well-

a) sorry to hear the "often repeated..."- a business even one in software is a complex entity in the real world with lots of surfaces and functions. Finance, Sales, Marketing, PR, BD, Enterprise, HR, etc etc all exist for good reasons. Would strongly suggest enhancing mental model to understand those reasons. Will make a person a better eng

b) re the above, if one understands the concept of technical debt, based on the concept of financial debt- Musk is incurring enormous debt in all operational areas right now. Financially beyond what he already put on the balance sheet. Regulators in many countries he operates in are readying fines. Lawsuits are being filed. Poor press relations will make it hard for good news at twitter to emerge and give bad news at any of his other businesses more attention. In terms of corporate relationships, many avenues for revenue, especially enterprise-side, are completely off the table now.

c) in many large businesses I have worked with, they are far more overstaffed with engineers doing the wrong things, and understaffed in areas that would be more meaningful for the business. Very little code is truly part of the asset infrastructure. The vast majority is liability, and engineers writing more of it are just burning good money
That was a fantastic essay. Thanks for sharing.
Looking only at immediate fallback, it might look like they didn't need to pay rent to occupy offices, either.
An automatic driving ban for passing under (being generous) the second red cross on a lane would weed out the arseholes. Just enforcing the existing law would help. The cameras and anpr are in place so it should be cheap to implement. But whenever such a thing is suggested motorists claim it's a conspiracy to empty their pockets.
Oh GOD.

Why do other headlines not start with "Tim Cook's Apple does X", or "Satya Nadella Microsoft revolutionized Y"?

These writers need to stop fawning over Musk and giving into the personality cult.

Elon Musk has big ideas, an appetite for immense risk, and absolutely no qualms about making the life of his employees a living hell. This is how you get rich - if you are at the right place at the right time.
Looks like the US state power is now making an obvious push to follow the CCPs footsteps after quietly eroding people's rights for years.

Hopefully the people will push back on it, can't say I have much hope since the political system is purposely broken.

Instead of focusing on ‘who’ specifically, step 3 of threat modelling actually focuses on the likelihood of something happening and the impact of it does. From that you can determine whether the cost of applying the mitigation is ‘worth’ applying in terms of reducing the impact of the threat to an acceptable level that the business can accept.

Of course, the ‘who’ is part of that consideration of likelihood, but it’s not the only part.
I’ve been a developer in a security champion like role for many years now. I’d first like to say that developers are casually interested in security and will try to do the best they can. I’d say the interest in security is about the same as in technical debt. The same kind of risks are assumed and the same difficulty in saying no to product owners also exist.
Digital Alter Ego: Unlocking Personalized Online Experience
In today's digital age, our online presence is becoming increasingly important. We use the internet to communicate, work, shop, and even form relationships. As a result, the way we represent ourselves online has become an important part of our identity. However, many of us feel like we don't have full control over our digital selves. We're bombarded with content that doesn't align with our interests, and we're constantly being tracked and analyzed by companies and organizations.

This is where the idea of creating a digital alter ego comes in. A digital alter ego is a digital representation of yourself that you have full control over. It's based on your online activity and behavior, but it's not limited to it. A digital alter ego can be used to generate personalized content and recommendations, and even interact with other digital systems and devices on your behalf.

The potential of a digital alter ego is huge. Imagine being able to customize your online experience so that it aligns with your interests and preferences. Imagine being able to interact with other digital systems and devices without having to remember a bunch of different passwords. Imagine being able to use your digital alter ego as a tool for personal development and self-improvement.

However, creating a digital alter ego is not without its challenges. One of the biggest challenges is privacy. People are rightly concerned about their personal information being collected, stored, and used without their consent. Another challenge is ethical. Creating a digital alter ego raises important ethical questions about who owns and controls these digital representations, and how they can be used.

That's why we're proposing a project to create a digital alter ego that takes these challenges into account. We believe that by creating a digital alter ego that is based on transparent and responsible data practices, we can unlock the potential of personalized digital identities. We want to create a digital alter ego that is a tool for personal development and self-improvement, not a tool for invading privacy or exploiting personal information.

We're excited about the potential of this project and we hope that you are too. We're looking for feedback and collaborators to help us turn this project into a reality. If you're interested in joining us on this journey, please reach out.
If violating or diminishing constitutional rights for the purpose of obtaining a prosecution is on the table then there's not really much to the constitutional order to begin with.

That back of the napkin math is interesting, but I'd argue it's also not right.

JPMC wasn't just attempting to buy a large email list. Notably, they were also attempting to buy _future expected email list subscribers_.

In theory, if JPMC buys the entire company and then lets the company keep running, they'd expect the list to keep growing over time at a rate similar to whatever Frank's user growth graphs indicated.

They also, I assume, believed they were acquiring a group of people with expertise in marketing to this segment since, well, if you have a warm list of 4M people, that means you also have the abilities to build such a list, which is valuable as well.

I'm not going to try and estimate what percentage of the price was what, but I'll point out there's more to it than just the raw size of the email list at the time of the deal since JPMC didn't _just_ buy an email list and nothing else.

Excellent observations. As a general rule this is how most organizations devolve. With private organizations they tend to self annihilate by not making profits. But with the government it devolves into totalitarianism.

This article is a one off, not at all a "If everyone could stand a few days without grid power...". Wanna know why? Here is the primer quote that's all you need to know: " I’m single, so I could act unilaterally, but I had no access to economies of scale.....and I have no children".

Lemme repeat that quote again: "...and I have no children".

As a single experiment is OK, but once you fully become a member of society, this is not possible, not even for a day! Why? Because you end up in jail for child endangerment!! That's why. And if everyone would be single then guess what!! No more humanity in 50 years, because...yeah, you guess it, no children!

> You're obviously going to be convicted of speeding if your geolocation data shows you going 80mph for an hour on the expressway, right?

There are toll roads all around the US that conclusively prove tens of millions of people are speeding every day for many decades now, just from the entry and exit point time data.

Government leaders have yet to start mailing everyone automated speeding tickets.
Subnormal Number
For DAGs, I'm guessing it's better to use some sort of let/where notation, because doing the APL/Lisp Reader thing of naming a defining use and then referring to it elsewhere involves an arbitrary choice of which instance to use as the def'n.

eg. for a mean of the first few even nats:

(/)
├─(sum)
│ └─(by)
│ ├─(,..)
│ │ ├─0
│ │ └─8
│ └─2
└─(len)
└─(by)
├─(,..)
│ ├─0
│ └─8
└─2

I think I'd prefer:

(/) #0:(by)
├─(sum) ├─(,..)
│ └─#0 │ ├─0
└─(len) │ └─8
└─#0 └─2

to:

(/)
├─(sum)
│ └─#0:(by)
│ ├─(,..)
│ │ ├─0
│ │ └─8
│ └─2
└─(len)
└─#0

although there's still an arbitrary decision to make as to how to order references when there's more than one dup, so maybe picking an encounter order as in the latter is as good as it gets?
Reputation isn't what it used to be. Which tech news org is willing to risk the wrath of LG, losing early access, losing invitations to events.

Maybe this is a stupid question but is there any value in trying to put solar panels on the roofs of trucks to offset fuel costs?

Solar panels are (new) around $0.75 / Watt and less than that used. Maybe you could fit 9 or so on the top which, depending on what panels you use, could be about a 1kW or so in sunlight. Maybe it's too much of a stretch to ask for a modified engine but heating the driver cabin or even providing some type of heating or cooling to the container might help offset costs.
