Signs and spoken language feel very different, at least to me. ASL is definitely not "english, but with signs instead of verbal words".

In ASL, there are some words where you just spell it out. But most things have their own dedicated sign, or maybe a compound of a couple of signs, or a sign that looks -almost- like a related concept but with a modifier (it almost feels like Chinese in that respect). The sign usually represents some aspect of what you're describing (as an example, "banana" is signed by peeling an imaginary banana).

ASL grammar is nothing like English, and has concepts that have no verbal equivalent. Conjugation works completely differently, and it's common for sentences to have a directional component and/or a facial-expression component.

Apple makes security claims in a world where these types of attacks are known about and expected. They are responsible for fulfilling their own claims.

If an air bag fails, you fault the manufacturer. They don’t escape responsibility by saying it’s the other drivers fault.

I’ll also add that Apple is not the victim here, the targeted end users are.
They cannot, because Apple does not allow third party apps to create sandboxed subprocesses.
I thought this was the Passwordless account they implemented (EDIT: didn't realize you weren't talking about the Authenticator app), but I had it turned off. I somehow managed to make it stop by re-enabling/re-disabling both Passwordless and 2FA. So now they always ask me for a password and then I get the challenge.

To this day, I can't comprehend how this is supposed to be safe. So someone can just type in my username and wait until i eventually misclick in the Authenticator app? If it was from a browser I have used before at least, but I was getting these challenges from around the globe.
Now its unmaintained, I guess who cares XD

I have an incredible idea, give the SLS vertical landing and relaunch capability.

Or just trade each $2 billion [0] SLS launch for a mix of 2000 $1 million [1] Starship launches to orbit, from orbit to destination, and/or returns.

Even if Starship launches have a significant likelihood of costing more than that, just 2 Starship launches per SLS seems like a bargain.

20 would be fantastic.

200 would be surreal.

2000 would be … what on (off) Earth could NASA do with 2000? Put all of NASA, its entire supply chain, and the Senate on Mars! O_o

Then achieve a further cost reduction for trips to Mars surface: just the cost of the electrical current required to operate a Mars habitat airlock.

Talk about time and cost efficiency!!

What is ridiculous is the crazy logic of all this is fairly sound, due to the beyond ridiculous (for today) SLS costs.

I have a funny feeling that the SLS’s days are numbered.

2) More details - “our algorithm makes sure you’re not being overcharged” sounds patronizing. Your target audience is not going to be so dull as to not question how things work behind the scenes. They don’t have time to schedule a call and hear the sales pitch

Sugar has origins in ancient India where it was known as 'sharkara' in Sanskrit[1].

For reasons I haven't been able to figure out, some modern Indian languages (like Hindi, Bengali, Punjabi) call it 'cheeni' which is the same word to refer to someone as Chinese. Other languages use variations of the Sanskrit 'sakhar', 'sakkare'

My friend Jake runs an analytics company.

He's faced enormous challenges due to Google's "privacy" policies... Google is removing nearly all access to user data, they don't even like you looking at the user agent string (which issues a warning)... not to mention its impossible to know about search traffic and even referring urls.

Meanwhile Google has access to all this data, so he tells me all this is just gaslighting so they can illicitly protect their monopoly on web data.

> I recently found out the “price” is now at or below $100m per plane now which was a real surprise to me.

Yeah that's because every time the price of the programme goes up, they "buy" more planes so that the per plane cost goes down. Any plane can be "cheap" if you agree to pay up front for a million of them to be delivered "eventually, nudge-nudge, wink-wink".

Surprisingly for a Nazi, or maybe not for an engineering nerd buying into the idealistic propaganda of his new home land, he could be quite naive about human evil. PBS:

> In 1952, von Braun drove the 20 minutes to the all-black Alabama A&M College, to recruit a group of its science majors for a quixotic outreach campaign at a local white high school. One of the A&M students, Clyde Foster, was not really sure what von Braun’s aim was, but he guessed the scientist was looking to get a group of mostly farm kids interested in the wonders of outer space. Why von Braun thought black college students would be the best ambassadors to rural white children is lost to history. The result was that Foster and six other A&M students found themselves standing on stage in front of an auditorium filled with white kids who were known to throw trash and spit from their school bus windows at any blacks they passed. Predictably, “nobody was listening,” Foster said, and the assembly was a disaster.
I heard about this the other day and didn’t think much of it.

I got the actual update today on my work laptop and… just wow. How did the folks at Google ship this with a straight face? The changeboarding modal basically lies to your face.

I’ve always felt a little weird about Google’s tracking, but this takes it to another level. Creepy as heck.
That's exactly what they've done. When you read about how the costs have come down or been kept stable, that's an accounting fiction where they increase the number they're "buying" so that the unit cost comes down.
I agree, the comments section is usually more interesting than the article. The comments are especially useful for the opposing viewpoints (i.e., why the article is wrong or missing important caveats).

Technically they’re correct: the privacy offered by this new system is superior to that which is offered by the web with no tracking protection.

Thinking about it in a very abstract way I find the whole thing fascinating. Google is clearly terrified that the tracking protection offered by other browsers is going to become the norm and they’re trying to head that off at the pass by implementing this compromise. But I’m not sure why they’re all that worried about it, they still have the lions share or the browser market. Maybe they’re worried about incoming legislation?
I have one of these ... I didnt know people thought of them as fancy. I always use it as a coffee percolator for the camp fire.
But isn’t the point of this post to suggest that even if SemVer suggests a release isn’t breaking, they still are in practice? Such that, coding defensively, you have to assess whether a new version of a tool breaks regardless of SemVer or not. In which case, why bother with SemVer in the first place?
That's a Securities and Exchange Commission compliance thing. Grizzly advises investors for pay, and they have to disclose that they do so. Companies on their list are quite likely to sue them. And lose.
> So, that average-value three-bedroom home ended up requiring an outlay of about $623,290 over 13.2 years of ownership. Mortgage payments alone accounted for $270,593 of that, with maintenance and repairs adding up to $192,139. Utility payments came out to $54,662, surpassing the initial down payment of $46,266.

On a $350k home, they found the average maintenance cost to be $192k in just 13 years??? That must include voluntary upgrades right?

> 2) We find the android.permission entries referenced in the proprietary parts of the decompiled source code, excluding occurrences in widely used and secure standard libraries by Android, Google, Facebook, PayPal and Klarna. Why would the proprietary source code reference these permissions, if it doesn’t have the option to use them in specific scenarios? Most importantly, many of these permissions in TEMU’s source code are not listed in their Android Manifest file, which is the standardized overview source for an app. For scrutinizing permission, the Android Manifest file is the first source to check permissions. Not mentioned in the Android manifest are the permission requests for CAMERA, RECORD_AUDIO, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, INSTALL_PACKAGES, and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION. It is not a coincidence that these permissions are the most intrusive ones when it comes to spying potential. For comparison, all the other apps listed in the cohort table enumerate all of these permissions in their Android Manifest, if they use them at all. The only exception is ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION by TikTok.

That's... not as strong of a link as I hoped this article would make.

So the code has references to INSTALL_PACKAGES. But doesn't seem to request it yet? Am I getting the argument from this post correctly?
I think you’re misunderstanding. Mossad likely wouldn’t let anyone pay enough. Or let NSO accept.

Unless they were already friends enough to not need to worry much about cost.
I think not investing time in Mojo is the currently the correct decision. If Modular decides they have a good product and would like broad community adoption, they will make the open source and licensing decisions that would support that. They're smart and I presume aware of that dynamic, so honestly I suspect they don't want a broad community just yet.

Community management and language feature haggling is not worth the expense at an early for-profit company with an alpha language that needs to solve internal problems.
Not not sure I follow the logic of "controlled the labor access." The community is based on the idea of peers sharing job opportunities with each other. There's no intermediation. You have to apply to join, but that's just to limit the spammers and the grifters.

Right now, the density of fractional workers is sparse. I believe that putting a group of fractional workers together could create a critical mass that leads to more fractional roles being discovered/created and filled.

Being specific - I made the first "I know of three fractional roles and can refer you" post on FRCTNL. The company that has these openings doesn't want to pay for a marketplace or a job board, and isn't seeking a fractional worker exclusively - but is open to them and works with multiple already. Without my post, those roles might go unfilled - perhaps indefinitely - or revert to a more traditional employment model.

So, my goal is to increase liquidity among fractional roles.

What were your issues with Princess Mononoke?
More like basic and barren, missing the simplest/cheapest to implement quality of life features (scrolling = video start address offset register, pcm output). Add awful Engineering, signal integrity is marginal with many hacks to keep the house of cards from falling over. "Bad DMA" chip recall (would erase your hard drive on first access) was actually caused by using too fast DMA chip picking interference on the overloaded bus.

What hurt Commodore was technologically clueless management. Just one example - they didnt update Audio/Floppy controller chip for 9 years because original designer Glenn Keller left (maybe even fired, you never know with Commodore) in 1988, nobody else knew how to and Commodore didnt want to hire/pay competent people. As a result Commodore was shipping computers with 720KB drives all the way to 1994 while on PC 1.44MB was standard since 1988.
I would argue that iMessage is way to problematic to be used safetly, at all. By anyone. Full-stop. It also seems to be the primary attack vector of NSO related zero-days as well and its become known that phone country/area codes have relevance to its chance of succes in past exploits, which suggests a phone/messaging type attack vector.
Machine code is syntactic sugar for pushing electrons through a wire
I use Chrome in development on a Windows box. Here is my experience with this upgrade:

1. Upgraded manually from 116.0.5845.179 to 116.0.5845.180 through About dialog.
2. Restart. No notification that anything has changed.
3. Go to settings, privacy and security, privacy guide, and on the 4th page (only 3 pips!)
Or go to settings, privacy and security, Ad privacy (the new element)

4. The privacy guide blurb: Privacy Sandbox trial
Chrome is exploring new features that allow sites
to deliver the same browsing experience using less of your data

Under Ad privacy:
5. Ad topics: Site-suggested ads.
Based on your activity on a site. This setting is on.
6. Site-suggested ads.
Based on your activity on a site. This setting is on.
7. Ad measurement.
Sites and advertisers can understand how ads perform.
This setting is on.

This roll out is filled with dark patterns. At (2) there is no notification that anything has changed. If not for this article, I would not have known about this at all. At (3) the feature seems intentionally hidden. At (4) the description of these features misleads the user that the purpose is to "use less of their data". This is false, or at least badly misleading. At (5,6,7) they've defaulted all new "features" to "on".

This is all so shady, and very un-Google like. I have such high regard for the Chrome team: was there push back on this? Do they realize what a bad look this is?
I agree, I just wanted to clarify that isn't mathematically impossible to make provably secure systems. It's just hard enough that it's not often done.
I suspected something like this, given how aggressive the marketing and ludicrous the claims have been.

Which is why I'm three times as suspicious of this site, which makes similarly ludicrous claims under the guise of malware research, like being able to DDoS a revealed MAC address. I am supposed to believe this article, whether or not it's true.

I understand the need to scattershot claims - if they just said 'TEMU has the ability to install packages onto your phone' then TEMU would issue some apology and release a new version that's sneakier about it.

But please, instead of smacking me in the face with a TOS/disclaimer that's supposed to ward off litigation over false/misleading claims, just don't publish false/misleading claims! Because that gives them the ammunition to say 'the stuff people are saying about TEMU is all lies'.
Looks like it can be automatized and made into a new startup...
> Meanwhile Google has access to all this data

I’m loathe the defend Google but I don’t think this is the case. The replacement for user agent sniffing (client hints? I forget) is a universal thing and I don’t think Google has a secret back door tracking mechanism their ad network is able to use. It would certainly be a big story if they did.
somehow, i agree both with you and the GP. except for bringing race into the equation (yes, I am white and had nothing to do with it).
Multiple dispatch is a kind of runtime type resolution. Static/compile-time function overloading based on types is a thing, but is fairly banal... common in C++, but mostly forbidden in Rust, but it doesn't resolve on vtables, so doesn't give you the same kind of polymorphism as what you'd get in Dylan/Julia/CLOS/Cecil, etc.

This looks like a good series of blog posts on this topic: https://eli.thegreenplace.net/tag/multiple-dispatch

Myself, I was excited to work in a language with multiple dispatch at first, but once I spent some time working full-time in Julia the sheen wore off. It could be Julia's take on it, but I really don't like the kind of ... semantic overloading ... and duck typing that can happen all over the place.

Programs can become very hard to reason about.
> Content must be in English (hard to curate non-English).

Well this is disappointing. It's no harder to curate other languages. You're just say you don't care.
That's a fair concern and something we're working on improving every day! It's fairly common when you consider Retool in the context of other development platforms. VSCode is a 200MB download and is considered small in the desktop space. Even gdocs is ~30MB.

For context, these resources are cached on your machine. So you should find that the actual data transferred significantly decreases after the first visit.
So, can anybody explain why PASETO/PASERK haven't become an IETF RFC?

Yeah, JWTs suck.

However, you are asking people to believe claims about a crypto specification when nobody is willing to do the work to make it an IETF RFC?

That rings all kinds of alarm bells.
> Adults love ice cream and "hate"* broccoli too, in general. They simply choose to eat one over the other based on external input.

Of course it's impossible for one person's evidence to refute what happens "in general", but either this isn't true for me, or I don't understand what you mean. I love broccoli. I don't hate ice cream, but I certainly wouldn't eat it every day, which I'd be happy to do for broccoli. I don't think I'm responding in any significant way to external factors, only to eating one regularly making me feel better than eating the other regularly. I don't imagine my experience to be universal, but nor do I imagine it to be very rare.

I agree, but I don't think we will remove the human.

New jet liners have had the technical ability to fly and land automatically, yet pilots still typically manually land unless there are bad visibility or other conditions. In those conditions they often autoland.

Why would this be any different?

I'd expect we see some kind of hybrid approach.
This doesn't make sense. The browser provides the user agent as a header in HTTP requests. They can't detect if or how the server is using that information.

Or do you mean your friend's product is a browser plugin? In which case, um, yes, I don't want it having access to any more information than it it needs to do it's job (and honestly, probably not even that.)
It rhymes with “lurks”
It appears that the Israeli government operates the same way as the Russian government with respect to their private black/gray hat companies and groups: hacking other people is OK, just don't hack our nationals or our institutions, and we're cool. And if they hack companies or people seen as hostile, so much the better.
While NSO is, of course, not a good group, I think the larger problem is how prevent these exploits are. If NSO didn't find them, someone else would. I don't consider NSO to be the big problem here.
Right now third-party cookies are blocked in Brave, so they'll probably also block this as well, but it remains to be seen. (I avoid Edge)
"Sushi" and "jazz" seem to be good candidates too. Chinese often seems to be the language that adopts very different terms even for quite culturally specific terminology (e.g. I'd tried niqab/burqa plus a bunch of less common musical instruments or styles from other cultures and they all seemed to have their own word in Mandarin. But the word for "jazz" superficially sounds similar at least).
Chris,

Ha! I love your reply. Thank you.

I know you care about language design. As I said more or less, that's self-evident, and I'm sorry for taking your whitespace comments too literally. You're the source, after all, not me, so accept my apologies there. It's misinterpretation, but not meant to be a misrepresentation. :-)

My comment wasn't meant to be critical of you. Honestly, as a pretty famous engineer, it never even crossed my mind you might read my message. As I said, I know you have to deal with reality to accomplish your goal, and that reality existed before you showed up to take on the challenge.

Thank you for all your contributions and good luck on Mojo.

Chris
Fixed cost in accounting means all the costs except for the cost of making the next sale, which is called marginal cost or variable cost; so for example the marginal cost of a sale of IntelliJ is the cost of accepting payment, delivering the software somehow (i.e., mostly server costs these days) and support costs.

Marginal cost of a car in contrast is the cost of the materials that go into the car plus the cost of any parts or subassemblies not made by the car company.

So, your "tech is special because the fixed costs are extremely low compared" is false.

Programmer salaries are fixed costs because if you suddenly start selling twice as many licenses each month, there's no need to hire more programmers or have your existing programmer work twice as much.
Firefox -- faster, better feature like container tabs, more secure and more private
One trait where opposites attract is money. I noticed often in couples, there is one with money and one without. I guess this is out of necessity and it satisfies both the poorer person's need for sustenance and the richer person's need for control over the relationship.

In general, in many relationships, one is controlling and the other is controllable. Relationships with two tigers often don't last because they can't stop fighting and few people tolerate that kind of constant emotional discomfort. For relationships, it's probably best if both people are moderate.
