Yeah, I dislike the idea of prioritizing a crypto standard that doesn't work against nation-states. Some of us like our privacy.

That said, I agree with jandrese's point about key management -- low-security key management solutions shouldn't prevent people from taking a high-security approach. Seems like the ideal situation would be if the really paranoid people end up naturally testing the low-security infrastructure as a side effect of doing their paranoia stuff. E.g. if the gpg client was set up to automatically report discrepancies between a user's personal web of trust and a presumed-authoritative keyserver.

That said, it's unclear to me why Signal wouldn't have worked for Snowden -- interested to explore details here.
Being target of an investigation can have enormous costs.

I've been there several times.

I needed to provide ample of documents that took time to assemble and I needed to take part on in person hearings, once in a town 200 km away from my residence.

Yes, they pay for the travel and by law my employer needs to provide me extra vacation for those days, but being the guy who needs to take 2 more days again doesn't necessarily boost your career and I'm sure my family would had appreciated if I spend the weekends with them instead of reading up legalisation.

Neither case I've done anything wrong and I was always very cooperative.

I broke, when I was fined for tax evasion, presented evidence on 3 hearings that they were wrong and after they revoked the fine, I still needed to pay interest as according to law I should had paid the fine while the appeal was in progress and since I didn't, I need to pay a surcharge for the delay.
Given the entire case was a huge government error I could had appeal against the surcharge, but I didn't want to go through 3 more hearings.

You can absolutely bankrupt entire families both financially and emotionally with this shit.
just to challenge that, why would you not realise the function is copy pasted in this scenario?

I mean, you'd see that the function is inlined in the place that you discover the bug, so you already know that changing that function's code isn't going to fix similar bugs anywhere else right?
It's something I've been thinking about actually, as I get older.

There's this old joke about how dementia is quite nice, as far as diseases go, since it doesn't hurt and you constantly learn new things.

I was particularly thinking that if we end up "uploading" ourselves into computer storage, we might intentionally do some memory cleanup, and occasionally allow ourselves to re-experience things "for the first time".
Considering all the literal poison and bacteria infested shit in our food I'm not even convinced it mostly works. The FDA simply isn't doing their job.
Do you mean writing non English search text, or for results not written in English?
That is correct. I'm testing if there's interest, hence the pre-payment. The plans listed on the website are on a monthly basis.

I've used that algorithm and extended it to handle distfix expressions[1]. For instance it can parse the expression

1 + if true then 1 else a b + c

as (represented as an s-expr using some weird angle brackets):

⟨+ 1 ⟨if␣then␣else␣ true 1 ⟨+ ⟨a b⟩ c⟩⟩⟩

I thought it was cool and could be useful to a lot of simple use cases.

> Out of sheer exasperation at this point I would propose forcing a one-state solution on them as a less-bad option. We've tried two state solution for decades and it just plain hasn't worked.

The trouble there is that Israel is specifically a Jewish state. If we ended up with a one-state situation, it wouldn't have a Jewish majority. While many of us might be OK with that, lots of the Jewish inhabitants wouldn't be.

There's a reason that this situation hasn't been resolved, and it's not because people aren't trying.
I don't know where the author learned about DRY, but I'd be shocked if it wasn't accompanied by a warning that DRY is only a general guideline, and in practice it's beneficial to allow some duplication to enhance code readability.
> Hey I rewrote what you wrote because it sucked. Got problems with that?

Reading it like that is just insecurity speaking. If anyone wants to rewrite my code to be more readable, I'd love for them to tag me in the review and show me how they did it, so I can learn. Assuming good intentions and being open to discussion goes a long way :)

I'll always tag the author for review if I'm rewriting something recent. It's more "Hey, I was too late to mention this in the review, but I think this improvement was worth the time. Let me know what you think in case I missed something important about the original."

From the anthropology I've been reading, it seems that many societies got by with debt -- and complex forms of it! -- with no need for money. Especially because of their long lives and stable communities, debt relations would be effective for elves. Money is only necessary in a society where a transaction is indeed transactional, independent from future relationship.
Interesting, but it seems to be a bit buggy (and is also exposing PHP errors):

I think the title is fine. It's a classic for good reasons and has been an eye-opener to a lot of devs falling into this exact trap, which you can do even if you're working alone. You overengineer a clean abstraction just to get bitten by it in the future.
Indeed, context is very important. But also how people identify with the code they produce.

This dynamic, where Tesla "announces" something that the rest of the industry has been doing for a while anyway, and a bunch of star-struck enthusiasts and stock manipulators tout it as an example of Tesla' "super smart innovation", is getting tiresome.
> Is it the first time something is acceptable by the letter of pre-existing law but not the spirit?

Well .. no. It happens each time that Google et. al find a new way to use your data. It's what all we German "privacy nuts" have warned people about for years and the reason that the older German data protection laws and now EU regulations require you to state exactly what you are doing with data ("purpose limitation"). If companies can just write "oh well, we will use it for something" how can anyone evaluate whether they should accept without knowing the future? Right. They cant.

So, this could be another case of the EU kicking Facebook in the face. We'll see.

I'm using Zoho as my main email hosting provider. Can I use tuta as the client? Should I?

I like Zoho stability and pricing. And, the client is somewhat poor compared to Gmail, to be honest. I like the scheduled send and snooze options of Gmail, but cannot figure out if Zoho provides similar functionality.

What is the best client for non-Gmail? Scheduled-send and snooze are probably server side functionality, so it isn't just the client. But, there must be a better client than the Zoho one!
My default approach is to use as few dependencies as possible for Proof of Concept experiments like this one, but it DOES favour convenience over long-term efficiency and performance.

I think a single-author blog is about the limit for what can be handled by my flat-file + working memory approach. Any dataset that's much larger would almost certainly need a vector-friendly DB. Typesense looks like it might be a good fit, and so does the pgvector extension of postgres
Yeah, I think I agree with the learning. A good middle ground would involve building up some helper functions, so you get something like:

let Rectangle = {

resizeTopLeft(position, size, preserveAspect, dx, dy) {

doLeftHandleThing(...);

doTopHandleThing(...);

// something else too

},

Then you don't lose the ability to quickly override things when there are special cases or requirements change, but you can keep the overall code repetition down a bit.

I think, most of deduplication issues come from (1) premature optimization and (2) doing "technical" instead of "semantic" deduplication.

(1) When you pull things out too early, you might miss the big picture and constrain yourself in the long run.

(2) Sometimes things look similar, but aren't. By deduplicating without taking semantics into account, you can end up with a nice looking function at definition side, but at call side it looks too abstract.

Both of these issues give you something like "createHandle".
Yes I also noticed that. Interesting company and team however.
Well according to Tesla it wasn't working just fine for everyone - they have been able to massively simplify their internal wiring.

The Beauty of Using Graph Databases with TerminusDB and Clojure, Part I
In addition to removing the bling factor of solid platium there is also a weight saving with the solid gold toilet being 11% lighter than the platinum equivalent.

Nevertheless, weight and balance can be an issue this is why you need to have a yacht extension to increase length (and occasionally girth - you have to use the swedish pumps for that one). In addition you need to buy multiple solid gold toilets for all the bathrooms, plus a couple extra to use as balast to get the correct balance.
I may be misreading the article, but does it seem like it alludes to metadata- and timing-related analytic techniques, rather than the contents of the notifications?

“...for metadata related to push notifications to, for example, help tie anonymous users of messaging apps to specific Apple or Google accounts.”

So maybe more, they (or somebody) send some messages to this account they want to ID, then request the specific device identifier that received notifications for that app at all of those times?

Would obfuscating the content make much difference with respect to that category of technique?
I am surprised there aren't more companies using a combination of Clojure + TerminusDB.
There could be something wrong, but not necessarily. Educational attainment is generally low in areas with "a lot of latin people" due to historical reasons, including prevalent illegal immigration.

Of course, I can't prove it, but the search results on Google look like they tried to win the spam wars with some variation of page rank that's skewed by "big brand power". Like they have some seed list of trusted brands, and graph proximity to that boosts your site over the pure spam. That, of course, penalizes genuinely good content that has no such proximity.

Kagi's various posts about their algorithm consistently talk about the value of "non-commercial content" and indexes to make sure they don't get lost. Like this post: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/search-details/search-quality.htm... Which sort of sounds like the same idea, but with more time and attention to curating a better list.

The Play Services people would have a stronger case if FB Messenger hadn't outperformed them on so many metrics of this type for years. One of the shocks of Copperhead/Graphene is how the absence of the play service push mechanism radically improves your battery life.

It is definitely the case that doing such things efficiently, especially in the world of evolving radio technology, is beyond the absolutely overwhelming majority of mobile app developers, and apparently in many cases even very good ones. It also seems unlikely that having the platform poll a process to then do the push (as your API would, in response to something like a radio burst about to be made) is a good idea, as keeping the app process asleep if at all possible is distinctly preferable, and most devs struggle with what is a real time constraint. An API to achieve this is definitely buildable though, it does require offloading a certain amount to the platform.

The truth is centralized services are strategic for the platform owner these days, so any technical argument for them will really be on that basis.
I'm not sure if you are being serious or not, but just in case: many versions of communism and socialism have been tried. When introduced at a country level, not only didn't they eradicate mass poverty or class inequalities (they just got other names), but for some reason they came with totalitarianism, violence, restricting freedom of speech, prosecuting enemies and other side-effects.

The cases where it (kind of) worked were local communes like Longo Mai (but even in these cases people argue because they receive donations, use external medical care etc.). The key difference in my opinion is that for any ideology to succeed, all members need to believe in it and actively engage towards its success. It's pretty much feasible at a local level but extremely difficult at a state level.

_Radical Love: A revolution for the 21st century_ by Lídia Puigvert & Jesús Gómez.
As someone who has occasionally stumbled across the community around this book at Reddit, I do wonder why so many of these men keep trying. When I reached, from relationship experience, my own conclusion that any partner in a relationship would inevitably have different and incompatible goals, motivations, and outlook from own, I simply chose to live alone from then on.

Obviously people might crave companionship. But if one is frustrated in obtaining that to the point of seizing on literature like Tomassi’s book, why keep hitting one’s head against that wall?
People can come up with whatever weird believes they want, that doesn't mean this actually makes sense.

Yeah - it's a great idea. The size of the embeddings is the big restricting factor IMO. Even with my approach of embedding the entire article, my embeddings index was about the same size as my "regular" search index.

Once you start increasing the granularity of what you're embedding (either by paragraph or sentence) then the old-fashioned search index has a big advantage.

Might be worth it in some scenarios because of the quality of the results. I bet there are places where an embedding search would be more effective by orders of magnitude.

Not push back to me. As an "analog", I love SDR-SOC but what this is saying is that people may lack a fundamental knowledge when designing hardware devices that is contributing to these challenges.

Id also push back against the article in the sense that I think the industry shot itself in the foot trying to provide too many options that all overlap. But, I do agree with the sense that minimizing the radio architecture to only what it needs to operate is smart.

My only gripe is the usability on iOS as it keeps logging me off every now and then (it feels like more often than many other sites) which then results in a login screen when you're trying to search something and after the re-login the query you already wrote once is now lost.
I see where you're coming from.

I think that wealth compared to the average is more important because it's so hard to place oneself in the social ranking when much of it is driven by priorities. For example where I live it wouldn't be unusual for an electrician to drive a nicer car than a doctor. On the other hand they might spend less on vacations. But as long as most people are somewhat close to the mean I think they are not so concerned about precisely where in the ranking they are. At least compared to a world where some people live like serfs while the upper middle class can afford drivers, maids and cooks.

> Niche subreddits can be good. But man the site overall has fallen so far. I also left with tons of others when they pulled the API, so maybe it all sucks now?

Content quality in niche subreddits is falling as well. Most technical or semi technical small subs I follow are flooded with single picture posts asking "what's this?" or "how to fix?" "pls help" and so on. The overall level of discussion has dropped to almost zero.
I don't think a minor deduplication justifies a separate discussion even before a single line is changed. That would make a huge deal out of it and waste everyone's time.

I wouldn't probably make a separate PR for that - just refactor the code next time I need to touch it - and tag the author for review of course.
