Musegroup's head of strategy posted the following and removed it later after backlash:

"If found in violation of laws, residency may be revoked and he may be deported to his home country. This becomes even further complicated given another repo of his – 'Fuck 学习强国', which is highly critical of the Chinese government. Were he deported to China, who knows how he may be received."

Hard to take that as anything but a threat. My point stands that Musegroup has proven that they should not be trusted with any information about users.

Maybe for your specific use - yes. And maybe your place of work only runs stable distributions for many years.

But I have a feeling for the vast majority of people this is why snap was invented, to not be stuck on old software for a few years.
Shows the importance of controlling your own critical infrastructure, or at least not being dependent for critical functions. Other examples include Github and Discord, both having shown the tendency do arbitarily ban users with little recourse.
I totally agree! I still remember the cover of that book, with the picture of the shell on it. I learned most of the "POSIX" APIs from it before I moved to Linux.
I’m not a fan of the dreams I have in the first place.
That's not what that says. The quote from coutts is even in the HN comment -

> We acknowledge that the information we reported - that Coutts' decision on Mr Farage's account did not involve considerations about his political views - turned out not to be accurate and have apologised to Mr Farage

That does not say that he did meet the net worth requirements. See [0], and read the article. No outlet has retracted the claim that he didn't meet the wealth requirements which is why his account was flagged for review.

Is that because theyre easy to find, or because theyre the worst?
Yes and no.

There were years that I would travel constantly for work. All around Europe, and later in US, India and a bit of China. I never use dating apps (and have exited the social media many years ago), so tracking my location would have me banned in two weeks. It will have to be very strict, to e.g. move to 3 cities in 1 day, where the cities are over 200km apart or something. Kinda like trying to catch the Pokemon-Go Android modded apps 'walking' cheaters.

So I’m working on this side project. I don’t have a name for it yet but I’ve been describing it as “vim for web designers”. The idea is that you can build a website (or components) in the browser, similar to Webflow, but it’s entirely driven by a command language.

When I began the project, I told myself I wasn’t going to use a framework. After all, I’ve been doing this since 2009, I was working with JS for a long time before I ever touched a framework. And besides, the native DOM APIs have long been good enough. Right?

My god, it was an absolute slog. Marshalling data into and out of the DOM is so tedious and error prone that I began writing my own mini framework to save my own sanity. And then I remembered why I began using frameworks to begin with - because ultimately you’re going to be using a framework of some kind regardless, it’s just whether you want your own custom one or a community-built industry standard.

I do still think native DOM is great, if you’re working with small amounts of interactivity. Most sites that use React probably don’t need it. But if your product has even a little bit of nuance or complexity, I’d go with a framework and avoid the hassle.

In the end I migrated to Svelte, and I’m much happier as a result.
Companies are people, and many people don't like to give others what they didn't have. They wasted time commuting to reach the top of the corporate ladder, you will too. They also like to show you that they have prettier shoes and a bigger watch.
Not only did panarky clearly dispute intent to steal, they specifically said that there's a lot of evidence of intent to help people: "There is a lot of evidence that he intended to maximize trading profits and use those profits to help people."

Juxtaposed with zero evidence of intent to steal.

I presume each has a discount for length of subscription but still quite expensive given their history.

I'm obsessed with interfaces at the moment.

How do humans interface with computers and data, from control to visual feedback.

How humans interface with music, perform it, read it, store it. How do birds interface with tones and rhythm?

How software interfaces with other software and hardware.

How humans interface with the world via symbols. I've been reading about Semiotics a bit, and find the field fascinating.

The problem is the government deputized the banks, yet the banks are not held to the same standard that government agents are.

It's akin to me having the secret number 17, giving you 221 (17*13) and then, during a solar flare, fucking it up once and giving you 187 (17*11). You know that the numbers are the product of a multiplication, and you know that a common factor is my private secret number. You figure out that the only way to get to 187 and 221 while keeping a common factor is if that factor is 17. That's just computing the GCD.

>An RSA public key consists of a public exponent 𝑒 and a modulus 𝑁 = 𝑝𝑞 that is the product of two primes. The private key consists of the private exponent 𝑑 = 𝑒 −1 mod 𝜙 (𝑁) and 𝑁 . A textbook RSA signature on a message 𝑚 is the value 𝑠 = 𝑚𝑑 mod 𝑁 . To verify the signature, a user checks if 𝑠𝑒 mod 𝑁 = 𝑚

> these attacks exploit the fact that if an error is made while computing modulo one prime, say 𝑞, then the resulting invalid signature ˆ𝑠 is equivalent to the correct signature modulo one prime factor 𝑝, but not 𝑞. 2.2.1 GCD attack on fully known messages. Boneh, DeMillo, and Lipton noted [11] that if an attacker had a correct signature 𝑠 and an incorrect signature ˆ𝑠 of this form then the attacker could compute gcd(𝑁, ˆ𝑠 − 𝑠) = 𝑝
> I'm not sure if apps are different from any of the alternatives.

What benefit or life experience do you get sitting in your apartment, or even in public, swiping left on thousands of faces in the hopes of one matching, vs. the alternatives like participating in other relationships, growing, developing skills, enjoying activities, and living life? Like gambling, the winnings only seem free when you ignore the opportunity cost.

Obviously, enjoy your winnings if you have them. I've met some great women on the apps as well, and mainly I benefitted from how they were so unhappy with what they had they were looking for literally anyone else, but ultimately that unhappiness didn't change. As a life strategy the apps are as wishful and passive as reading your horoscope for lucky numbers and imagining what you would do if you won the lottery.

The question came from a young member of the audience.
It was phrased something like:

"Why isn't Racket used in industry like OCaml is used by Jane Street."

And what can you answer to that? Of course the Racket would like for some both commercial users as well as sponsors.

In fact [1] Racket changed its license from LGPL to Apache 2.0 or the MIT license to make sure it can be used commercially.

The fact is that language popularity isn't determined by quality of language/implementation alone. Having companies like Apple (Swift) and Google (Go) backing a language helps tremendously.

> It's funny when you look at the code and think... huh, that's actually a lot easier than importing a huge library with way too many props

I had this realization after the 3rd or 4th RiotJS major version update. It started getting harder to do it the opinionated way. I realized that every minimalistic JS framework would eventually suffer this fate as totally innocent feature requests gradually accumulate into a monstrous pile of hooks, events and other side-effect bandaids.

I don't even use jQuery anymore. I will use things like ES modules to help organize code, but you don't need to run a goddamn npm command to use any of that technology. All of this is a global browser standard, not something you have to vendor in.

I look at MDN as the Bible these days. If you take a leap of faith, it will carry you almost 100% of the way. The frameworks will cripple you after a certain point. I can't say this would have been true ~5 years ago. Things have shifted rapidly with browser APIs converging on a powerful set of primitives (modules, flexbox, grid, etc) that are now very consistent across platforms.
The moral equivalency you are attempting to draw between those 2 statements is both ignorant and asinine.

When the terrorist organizations chant "From the river to the sea" they are clearly calling for the forced removal (at best) of all Jews from the land.

A political party that calls for "Israeli sovereignty between the Sea and the Jordan" it is clearly a rejection of the "2 state solution" but that is not a call for the removal of an ethnic population from the region. One critical difference here is you can disagree with that political party, vote them out of that government even, and express full support for a 2 state solution with out being raped, or killed. Somehow I doubt Hamas would allow that.

Israeli a western democracy has an actual framework of secular law and a history of respecting the rights of people including Arabs, Gays, Women ect

Hamas is a terrorist organization that has a history of authoritarian control, rape, murder, and no framework for respecting any individual rights at all, you bow to the most draconian interpretation of Islamic law or you die.

Corporations are not people. Google and Apple have more power than several countries and their monopolies mean people have less and worse choice. The free market is a myth.
CPLDs ran into scaling issues. Routing problems increase exponentially the more logic you add to them. Eventually routing delays make it pointless, not to mention power usage is horrific.

Not many CPLDs were made beyond about 256 macrocells. Even a typical lowend FPGA will be 5k to 50k "macrocells" or some other form of LUT-based logic cell.

As an example, the last time I had to design with a CPLD it was a 128 macrocell part, and had a static power draw of 0.5W, which is kind of ridiculous.

Altera did try to make a sort of hybrid part, the MaxII and MaxV series which are just tiny FPGAs that are flash programmed. Though, if you wanted that, there are plenty of better ones out there like the ice40.

Of course the verbosity is doing something, the same is true for Java as well, it's not like the verbosity is just useless characters doing nothing. Still makes it overly verbose for a lot of us. I still write Rust code daily, but I wish the language thought a bit more about read/write ergonomics.
Guitar, and as a subset of that, music theory and composition. It started as a something to get me through the first pandemic winter in Minnesota in 2020, never having held a guitar before, and it turned out to be something I've been completely obsessed with for more than three years now. I have played guitar literally almost every day since I started. I play for about a half hour every day before I head out to catch the bus, and very often play for another hour or two in the evening.

My main focus for the past two years has been solo fingerstyle guitar, especially classical. The two full pieces I've learned so far are "The Water Is Wide" arranged by Yenne Lee[1] and "Home" by Andrew York[2]. I've almost finished memorizing "Tango Azul" by Nemanja Bogunovic[3], and I'm working on learning "Autumn Leaves" also arranged by Yenne Lee[4], and "Blackwood Lullaby" by Justin Johnson[5]. And I've learned a bunch of short studies and pieces, a recent favorite being "Vals Frances" by Francis Kleynjans[6].

In addition to playing, I also attend classical concerts put on by the Minnesota Guitar Society[7] and do a little bit of volunteering for them, primarily editing full concert videos for their YouTube channel (which, sadly, are mostly taken down after a brief viewing due to contractual stuff).

That's a much worse approach from a security pov.
From how I understand this: Synapse and Dendrite were Foundation projects, but the contributions came almost exclusively from Element.

Element is forking the two projects, and is redirecting their maintenance efforts towards their own forks. This means that the Foundation versions of the projects will not receive active maintenance anymore, and the Foundation does not have the funding to invest in the development themselves.

It's a de-facto handoff, unless someone wants to invest significant resources in development of the pre-fork versions of the projects.
Comparatively, but women outnumber men in college, many will be single. If you aren't repellent and aren't dating outside your league then it's a numbers game, a matter of time.
How’s that saying go? Choose a framework or you’ll invent one?
No. That’s a blanket statement on your part that you cannot make because you don’t know what my scripts look like, or what commands they call.
They could, but their users really won't like that. They have their workflows that they got used to. In practice it's gonna be GNU Coreutils and Glibc and the other usual suspects. If they bundle something more exotic, it better be for a very good reason. For example musl on Alpine or what Android does.
Product and marketing. How do you find out if you're building something really relevant, and how do you find your market?
I'm a front end dev which was working mostly for the last 10 years with ts/js and I think we need to stop that trend to write everything in ts/js.
> Maybe, it is time to bank with local credit unions, as the latter allow mobile deposits.

I've never used a credit union and have had access to mobile deposits at everything from large multinational banks to small local ones for well over a decade.
I find this reply humorous as it points out the flaw in the above posters thinking.

Having said that, I tend to lean on the side of the other poster in that harming animals should be avoided unless there's a specific reason (such as eating them)

At some point the world isn't kumbaya and the animals will learn when they tend to die or be physically hurt when approaching that activity.
So does this pretty much boil down to "we are re-licensing Synapse and Dendrite from Apache to AGPL"?

In what way is the "owner" of the code significant, in this case, other than being a proxy for the maintainer of the most popular fork?

These projects are open source, so the only thing this code is really attached to is the license. Whatever entity controls the majority of developer effort effectively controls the future of the project. So far, that entity has been Element, and the features being worked on in the client and server applications have been and will be influenced by the customers of Element and the sponsors of the Foundation (for an example of this influence, see the biometric/PIN lock introduced in the Element X mobile applications).
It should be standard for all banks that if they have a fraud issue, they call you and tell you to call the number on the back of your card, and press 6 or something.

The fraud departments we have are so indistinguishable from actual phishing it’s amazing. They even send you a two factor code and have you read it to them! The text says they’ll never ask for it via phone! Embarrassing.

this is talking about "in-context" learning, i.e. you tell the bot some new information (here is a language, here are its rules, now translate this text)

If it hasn't seen a language with those rules before, it makes a lot of mistakes. The key is with those sorts of rules. If it's seen one with similar rules but ordered differently, it will do much better than with entirely novel rules.

I imagine a human would too.

The paper itself trained a transformer to predict what function some data points represented, either linear (x=y or similar) or sinusoid (y=sin(x) or similar). They then presented a section of the sinoid data to the transformer, so the correct output would have been something similar to the sin function. they repeated this with models trained on various mixtures of linear and sinoid distributions, making the sinoids increasingly rarer and eventually not appearing in the distribution at all. Predictably, the accuracy got worse as the model saw less of the sinoids. You may note that these are vastly less sophisticated models than GPT.
But then they'd still be workers and not corporations, and thus subject to the power imbalance spoken of earlier. Perhaps we could simply assign everyone a corporation at birth? Then it doesn't even have to be an active activity.

Edit: I read again, and I think you’re trying to point out that there’s a higher true cost. There almost certainly is, and it’s going to be more than similar projects in similar cities. The only really relevant question is whether it’s cheaper than building new subway lines, which it also almost certainly is.
