Interestingly, x86 is also kind of "naturally self-synchronizing" for real-world code, as you'll notice if you try to disassemble at an arbitrary address in GDB. It's not perfect of course–you can always craft a code sequence that is malicious–but in general it's a useful property, if not for instruction decode in a processor.

Based off my experience you should start using org-mode if you either

a) have too much time or
b) have too little time

a) because I found it to be quite a time-consuming to set up a configuration that adapts to my needs (event though I restrict myself to note taking and managing todos all from one file) and
b) it is such an amazing tool for keeping all my notes and todos in reach within seconds

Yes, but Google as a business felt like they could do no wrong, like they were the best at everything, and failed to see that they threw the baby out with the bathwater while trying to chase product categories that weren't in their DNA.
Those horror stories by far do not apply to most people. Like all horror stories, the negative incidents leave far stronger impressions than the far more numerous positive or mundane experiences nobody talks about.

Also, I'm going to reply to this claim here since it was edited in after I already replied:

>Filesystems et cetera, are not rocket science,

File systems are absolutely rocket science.

It's been well over 30 years since that paradigm was introduced to try and make how computers handle data more relatable to most people and it has not worked.

It is the year 2024 and most people still put everything on their desktop. Kids in particular[1] do not grasp file systems at all.

File systems are an abject failure of human interface design and engineering.

If you want to optimize for legibility rather than speed, a fountain pen with a stub nib might help. Stub nibs are designed to make handwriting look a bit like classic cursive with no effort from the person. But they can also improve handwriting legibility by providing a particular feedback, basically, it stops some bad movements you hand might be doing.

I have most success with nibs which are very smooth but stubby. TWSBI Diamond 580 with 1.1 mm stub nib worked best for me, but it takes bottled ink.
Right. And 90% of the writing I do today is writing out notes to myself while I plan or work through problems in my notebook. That kind of writing doesn’t need to be legible to anyone else.
>Stuff like don't point at the king picture and laugh or step on anything with his picture, including the money.

This seems odd to me that they'd put his face on there at all if it causes this problem. For contrast, before the euro, Ireland's coins were going to have saints in the designs but were changed to stylized animals when it was realized they'd be used to gamble.
> Working there carried this huge cachet that few tech companies can compare to today

It also was allegedly a "special" place, where you had autonomy as an engineer, yada yada. From what I hear about openai, that doesn't really apply there. Are there any small-but-large-ish companies (100-1k employees) out there today that have a culture similar to the early google?
> every working mathematician needs to understand at least basic set operations, simple identites like De Morgan's laws (I don't care if you know the name or not), as well as what cartesian products, relations and functions are.

This is stuff that you learn in the 5th or 6th grade in school, and is about as far removed from what mathematicians call "set theory" as basic arithmetic operations are from college math courses for soon-to-be mathematicians.
They are clearly not programming. It's a team building game called the marshmallow challenge.
But then, the vast majority of the affected libraries in that page don't use GMP at all, but their own custom implementation (including openssl).

In reality, RSA signing with blinding will make any implementation (including those based on GMP) resistant to side channel attacks, targeted at the private key.

What most of these library tripped over in that case, is the treatment of the plaintext in a side channel-safe way after the private key operation. For instance, just the simple conversion of an integer to a byte string can be targeted.
Not enough "it's important to consider"
It's meant to be decoded into regular text later. Main usage is taking notes or dictation.

Trying to write as fast as an average person speaks makes it very hard to do anything else, like be an attentive conversation partner, but scribbling some notes down in shorthand so you can return to them later is really useful.
Well there is the chance that you might not want to advertise your processor as supporting "RISC-V" if it means that someone else's extensions are not the same as yours.

All three and possibly more. I think it all depends on what you're doing.

> For example, S3 and Lambda are basically free for usage with near-zero traffic

Just to build on this a little bit, even this has limits: if your operating environment has extremely lower power availability (so, low available bandwidth), maybe S3 has too much data transfer overhead!
Sorry, what? 100TB is stingy as! At my institution, there's approximately 50000 students and staff, if 100TB is all they get, that's only 2GB each (and that's not just for email, that's for all storage)!

I am also a huge XR enthusiast (since just before the first Rift Kickstarter) living in Europe, with multiple headsets across generations, and I'm considering flying to another country to buy it.

There is no competition for it yet, and the competition that will come out (Samsung/Google's collaboration, Meta's next attempt at Quest Pro, etc) will alike Android 1.0: planting a flag, but the actual experience will be measurably worse.

It's a fully-integrated standalone MR headset with access to the wider Apple ecosystem, the highest-quality components of 2022 (yeah, it's shipping late, but it's still better than the competition), and it's backed by Apple, which will end up redefining the conversation around XR as a whole.

Even as a portable home cinema I'd consider it, especially in my small European apartment :-) The price is high because it's expensive to make (~1700 USD [0]), they need to make the money back on R&D, they're supply-constrained [1], and likely because - yes - they want to limit the mass market's exposure to 1.0. Still, as an enthusiast, I've been waiting for this for many years; I'm ready to try it out for myself.

Ah, if that's your point then I disagree. There is no "DNA". A big tech company can and should try to do many things in many markets, look at Microsoft. When they started with Basic interpreters, or even when they launched Windows, would you have said that Xbox is in their "DNA"?
What do you mean "hordes of baristas rejoicing that programmers will lose jobs"? Who are these baristas? Where can I see this rejoicing?
Hm, I think I misread the article. It just says it was accessing a database named after the client, not that the user/password suggested being specific to the client. So you're right, it being hard coded then suggests it can likely access all of them. He should have stopped there and reported the issue.

While paying a fine of 3000€ is likely without consequence for most programmers, that's not the only thing that happens. It now shows up on his criminal record and would be considered in any future case against him.

It just occurred to me - it's almost a too stupid theory to be true, but you should never underestimate this kind of corporate stupidity - the name change to Alphabet, maybe that was part of telling the actual alphabet agencies, "We're on your side"? One thing is sure, Schmidt really, really wanted to have a good relationship with Obama's state department.

Compilers don't typically emit those instructions, it's people working on runtimes that need its semantics who do. Also, my understanding (to be fair I haven't really used SPARC much) is that register windows didn't really pan out as being efficient in practice. I think because people couldn't program for it?

Yes. I'd argue the problem is not on the project's side, it's on the Google side (they have ridiculously high requirements for registering OAuth clients for IMAP/SMTP use, especially for a small open-source project).

Apple Takes a Humble Approach to Launching Its Newest Device
Absolutely. And don't get me started on how M&A has created an absolute monster of technical debt that stares you in the face as a user. Many might disagree, because the trillion dollar veneer Google can throw at things obscures it, but it's there.

I used to wonder why Google moves so slow to add features and get literally anything done, but after experiencing the monumental screwup that is Google's underlying unified payments infrastructure, it's become pretty clear. The engineers are spending too much time mucking through the garbage left behind by M&A tech merging and code left behind by hotshot college grads on their way to early retirement at 25.

EDIT: M&A
This is one of the reasons I've stayed remote, in spite of being OK in an office environment (and sometimes preferring it).

I'm moving out to a town 3 hours away, which is not really commutable into London. It's a better quality of life, and the housing options are much better. Selfishly, I don't much care about the housing pressure in London, but I do care about whether I can spend my downtime going places and doing things I enjoy, and remote working makes that MUCH easier.

IRC. NNTP. SMTP. XMPP. HTTP.

It's just that nobody wants to work on protocols anymore. Ever since the world's richest was suddently a computer guy, no one wants to work on anything without a business model that includes taking complete control over what is built. A product, if you will.

In the background, there's always some geeks slaving away with new protocols and federated models. That will not become mainstream, not in our current society. But societies change over time. There is always hope.

Protocols, not products, people!

I think EyeSight is more important than most people give it credit for :p

A huge problem I've had with demonstrating - and being demonstrated to with - MR headsets is that I can't actually see what the user's looking at. This is much more troublesome with MR and passthrough, where it's very important for external users to be able to see that the user is looking at them.

Yeah, there's still a few quirks that need to be worked out, but I think it's a fundamentally important part of future MR headsets, and Meta agrees [0] (much more rudimentary 2021 prototype at [1]).

Haha! This straight question is honestly the elephant in the room. It's a killer product for porn and PornHub and Xvideoes are in return top 4, 5 respectively most popular sites on the Internet (December 2023, according to Semrush).

But we can't talk about it for obvious reasons. It's such a funny scenario to think of.

But the allure of porn was always the ease of access and instant gratification. I don't think Vision Pro fulfills any of this due to the barrier of entry with its price point.
That's nonsense. Greek has prepositions, conjunctions, and cases that leave little room to interpretation. It is a rather precise language (much more so than English or even Latin).

> I thought the term referred to the fact that electricity is being generated in the process.

If we are being pedantic about it, yes, you are right in your thoughts and certainly that is what the EV manufacturers want you to think via their marketing.

But the reality is I guess you could say 95% of the "benefit" of regenerative braking is the braking side of things (and so therefore similar to the non-EV equivalent).

There is, without argument, the remaining 5% "benefit" of the generation of electricity. But certainly in my own experience of driving EVs for both long road-trips and short journeys is that the electricity generation is largely manufacturer hype. Why ? Because basic physics dictates that you're playing a net-net zero-sum game ... i.e. what you "generate" you then loose when you next stop at the lights and accelerate again, or when you next overtake a car on the highway or, or, or .... so in the end you might end up with perhaps a 5–10% net gain if you're lucky which isn't really all that much to sing and dance about.
Also worth noting that - while it's not ideal for sharing movies in person - it's fantastic for sharing movies online. I've been watching movies with friends from all over the globe in VRChat, and it's a fantastic experience. Looking forward to Apple spreading it with SharePlay in the Vision Pro!
> It seems like there has been some kind of shift from ngxxx in Middle Chinese to yxxx in Cantonese and to rxxx in mandarin, but only for some vowel sounds now represented by y… in mandarin, which is why we don’t see the y to r shift for other vowels.

I think this is a fundamentally different kind of phenomenon. Historical sound changes that occurred between Middle Chinese and the present can explain why the same word is pronounced differently in different varieties of Chinese.

But they can't explain why or how certain people perceive different sounds to be equivalent. Consider a non-Chinese example - the letter Y in the English words yard and day derives from an original G. (There was also a G at the end of the word I, and it changed in the same way, but this is not reflected by a letter Y in the modern spelling of I.)

But the historical sound change does not mean that modern English speakers have trouble telling the difference between the sound of a Y and the sound of a G. They don't. All modern speakers will effortlessly maintain the distinction between yard and guard or gird, and between yes and guess, just like they maintain the distinctions between big and bee or bag and bay. If you suggested to them that any such pair of words might sound similar to each other, they'd give you funny looks.

I'm interested in the ability of speakers to produce and perceive differences between different sounds, not in the different evolution of one sound as it develops along different historical paths. (Well, not here. I am interested in the historical development of the sound as a more general matter, but it's not what I was asking about.)

I was hoping that a fuller understanding of the identification of r- and y- in certain Chinese regions might help explain why certain pinyin syllables are spelled with an initial letter Y. For example, I have been saying that "yue" represents the combination of a final -üe with a zero initial, and this is indeed the official definition, but there's a bit more to it than that - I knew a Cantonese girl for whom the Mandarin words 肉 and 月 began with the same sound. That's easy to explain if "yue" really does have an initial y-; it's much harder to explain if "yue" has no initial consonant.

I'm really bad with sound sensitivities, but magnesium helps make them less sharp and painful, great for helping me get to sleep also. It can give me erectile dysfunction though.

Another autistic person put me on to magnesium, their reckoning was that it could be an ion channel issue.
Somewhat related:

I pretty much have to blast random noise to stop my brain from going weird places when I’m trying to sleep.

Some weird examples:
- Simulated conversations between random people. I might not even be involved
- Wait did I remember to do this? (Usually something related to code)
- Geometric nightmares (it’s hard to describe. I’m awake and conscious but there’s a large expanding object in my head and it makes me want to jump out the window)

Had issues for years until I realized that putting on podcasts in foreign languages or just random assortments of sounds (no patterns or else I’ll think about it) stops it from wandering.

Is this a case of a noisy brain or do I have actual issues?
Lessons learned scaling PostgreSQL database to 1.2B records/month (2019)
I will do that if our university decides to switch on 2-factor authentication (which would be total chaos), but my trust in Google's ability to make this effortless and easy in third-party email clients is zero. See my other post why.

Regarding security: Google had physical fiber optics connections to the NSA and claimed they didn't know about them. It's not a very credible claim but if if was true, then it would be proof that Google has no competence in security at all.
Perhaps referring to having to stock different SKUs of iPhone for each different plug type.

Now the phones only need to be unique to radio requirements.
To be noted, the most annoying thing with Oauth2 and Google on Android is that you can't login with an email client or calendar with your Google account without your full phone to be associated with this Google account.
Also giving policy right on your device by this Google account.
That is totally insane in my opinion.

And you can't easily bypass that as oauth2 usage in WebView inside apps are easily restricted by Google on Android.

Perhaps DNA is too strong a word, because it would seem to imply that change is impossible. It's more that Google executed the changes badly, after the "PM shift" as we're calling it happened, they continued to fail to see growth in these new markets, and failed to address exactly why that was. Instead they simply got very good at unlaunching their failed products.

All the while, the shift in the company began to dull the sharp edge that was their core competency: engineering driven products.
I do like the direction that Framework is going and I hope they will deliver to more countries during 2024.
That sounds more like a technical aspect. It is probably related to cryptographic key expiry, not the balance itself. Also, even if what you said was true, having all your money expire all at once is so easy to avoid that it is kind of meaningless to even think of it as a problem. It's more like a pointless micromanagement hassle than a realistic way of stealing your money.
I understand their announcement says app passwords will stay (for now). But should Google eventually also deprecate app passwords, it would really restrict the use of third-party clients with GMail, given the self-paid security assessment OAuth clients must undergo. It would be a sad development given that email is one of the last popular "open messaging protocols" in use, where one can choose what client to use.
