In all of your earlier examples (and actually, including the current one too), you're treating vertices as first-class objects, but edges as second-class. There's no way to even identify an edge in your formulation -- only vertices.

This is a common oversight in graph structures that ends up being very annoying in many applications. You keep trying to work around it by associating the edge's properties with those of the vertex pairs and hoping that's sufficient for the application, but I'm trying to point out that the abstraction you're implicitly dancing around -- and the one that many practical uses need -- is actually one that treats edges as first-class. In fact, I would go further and say that if anything should be second-class, it ought to be the vertices, since they're already implied by the edges. (That is to say, for many practical applications of graphs, an edge determines its endpoints, but the endpoints don't determine the edge.)

You’ll notice it’s not entirely symmetric, because the torque of a rotary engine makes it much easier to turn and spin with the propeller, not against it.

You can also tune “allowed” moves to match the capability of a particular aircraft (and that’s why there is a whole series of these books that you can use interchangeably in any Allied-German pair: ...but some planes don’t have access to all the manoeuvres).

I played this and remember the Allies Sopwith Camel had the right-hand J turn the other planes didn't because of the rotary torque.
> "We built two new iOS frameworks with hundreds of new APIs to support functionality used by web browsers, including multiprocess, JIT, and advanced keyboard & touch event access — and we are pivoting WebKit to use these new frameworks."

"Used by web browsers" implies that these APIs were designed to be used by both 3rd-party rendering engines and WebKit, which is interesting. It would mean that Apple's been building OS infra for 3rd-party browsers for many years.
Can and should be able to are different things. I would imagine on a manual transmission they want things to be simpler so they have to make trade-offs and can't encode certain things without adding hardware.

But it's still not something anyone except the "I like direct control of the machine" types actually want, average users would probably prefer the safeguards.
This was initially an internal post at Texts.com that we decided to share, and I scrapped mention of the fact I had tried the exact same approach a few weeks prior and reached my time-box as well.

I initially spent two hours trying to modify different instructions, and then gave up. I saw another blog post written by a reverse engineer by the name of "Hassan Mostafa" (aka cyclon3) that previously succeeded in the same approach (taking Hopper Disassembler to Instagram on iOS) and I was inspired to try again that night, but I had no luck. I even found and attempted to modify the same instructions.

I decided to call it quits, and then a few weeks later with a bit of a grudge, I spontaneously tried again and I had it done in about 30 minutes after finding the sandbox function.

> And they will refuse to work for organizations like yours that continue to hold regressive views on WFH.

Which is 100% their right! (But don’t then go on tech forums complaining about how difficult it is to find a job)

PS. My company is fully remote (and was remote pre-Covid) so I definitely don’t have “regressive” views on WFH. I rejected a candidate recently who said they wanted to work out of a van while driving the US. As a 100% remote company I’m cool with people working from different places occasionally, but at a minimum I want our employees to have a desk. I don’t want to hire someone for $150k who’s working from the back of a van. I might have hired them in 2021, but in 2024 not having a permanent residence to have an office in is a disqualification.

The GraphBLAS is a sparse matrix library, it does not store the non-present values.

Also, a non-present value may or may not be zero. For example in shortest path algorithms, the non present value is positive infinity.

Once you start discarding runs, doesn't that count as lying about the data/experiment? As in effectively equivalent to flipping the coin and only reporting it if it lands on heads?

In any case he does mention it won't fix all the problems but that it can clean up some of them and make addressing other problems a bit more straightforward. With p-values, sometimes even honest experiments end up with misleading conclusions. It takes a decent amount of complex understanding to perform properly, while something like gathering data and doing a conditional probability calculation has presumably less risk of honest mistakes

I remember the first time I ever cracked an app, I was so convinced I would fail, but it turns out that finding these sorts of easy-to-modify JNE/JEZ spots is easier than it seems. Even if you pick wrong you can just revert to the original file and try a different spot.

I imagine this would be something that AI will be able to do easily in an automated fashion, you can literally just try flipping the JEZ/JNZ in a bunch of candidate spots and launching the app and seeing if the nag screen comes up.
This discussion wouldn't be complete without covering Lotus Improv on NeXT. It did two things differently: data, formulaz, and presentation were separate layers and the formulas weren't applied per cell but rather as a relational invariant between all sets of cells in a direction for the full range. One last thing it used was naming everything with natural names for columns and tables much like a database schema.

The Windows version of Improv wasn't nearly as good, possibly because it seemed too advanced for PC users familiar with 1-2-3, or because it might disrupt an already very profitable revenue stream.

I believe there's a spiritual successor in Quantrix.

Seems like with iOS 14+, and as of writing it seems like we're on iOS 17, it needs to be jailbroken? Do Jitterbug, Jitstreamer, AltJIT, work for developer accounts?

Here's the problem with email:

An important part of the social contract is that you can't just go up to somebody an talk to them for hours and hours about something they have no desire to talk about or even need to know. The central problem with email is that it makes it easy to do just this. How many hours and hours do you spend reading email? How many hours does your boss spend?

Before email, if an executive wanted to talk with his whole organization, he had to get them all in an auditorium. It was visible to him that his whole organization was not working on any business objective, but sitting on their hands, listening to him tell them stuff which they mostly don't even need to hear.

After email, an executive over a large organization can spend 10 minutes writing an email, which might only take 5 minutes to read, but is sent to so many people that in aggregate, it soaks up man-weeks of worth of time.

And god forbid the email is ambiguous or needs clarification: any one of the recipients can hit reply-all and soak up yet another man week of aggregate time. Of course, any clarification need to be broadcast to everybody as well....

Even this wouldn't be fatal, but you are expected to have read, memorized, internalized, and institutionalized, obey, and actively comply with the contents of all those email. The question "Well, didn't you read my email?" impeaches the employee, with no hope of appeal, because it simultaneously, excuses the executive from any charges of not communicating their orders effectively. I sent an email, why are you ignoring me when I give you orders?

There is no other channel of communication devised by the dark heart of man which has this ability for one person to arbitrarily condemn unlimited number of people to waste most of their time, reading stuff which probably doesn't apply to them, on pain of missing that one detail which they will be accountable for.

If you go talk one-on-one to somebody, there is a proportional cost to you for how much you are costing them: you have to spend as much time talking as they do listening, so it provides a check to how much you were able to badger them.

Even if you chat to many other people, chat is assumed to be ephemeral enough that it's not expected for you to remember every single thing said in the chat. After coming back from vacation, nobody is expected to read the chat logs for the days they were gone. But its not infrequent that after coming back from a week's vacation, you'll have to spend another week catching up on the email.

Email violates the social contract. And it does so egregiously, because it actually makes violating the social contract the easiest thing to do, and not the hardest thing to do.
The heavy handed tying of WSA to the Amazon appstore is so stupid it almost feels malicious. I've used WSA on multiple computers and every time it's a pain to get it to the point of usability.

Gotta mess with MS store > find WSA > install WSA > get adb working > install f-droid > install aurora appstore.

WSA should have just gone with f-droid or better yet been tied to no appstore by default and just ask for you to provide your own appstore apk on first startup.
This is something I've been thinking about a lot lately. Especially in combinatorics and number theory, there are databases like oeis, LMFDB, etc that contain tons of data with the ability to generate more algorithmically (sometimes easier said than done). Using ML to get heuristics and really good guesses on where the next opportunities lie and then formalizing it once you have a good guess would be SO cool.

Is there a name for that? Or groups working on that stuff that I could follow?

My own little pet project was I scraped OEIS and built a graph of sequences where 2 were connected if one mentioned the other in its related sequences section. You got these huge clusters around prime powers and other important sequences. Then I thought maybe you could use a GNN to do link prediction providing an estimation of a relationship that should exist but hasn't been discovered yet.
Wow that's impressive. I only learned to read in the first grade.

This appears to be resolved. AWS posted an update to their status page, which matches some of the observations in this thread about it being ISP-specific:

Polotno Studio is a free app. And for a long time, it didn't even have the ability to signup and save created designs into a cloud.

I'm not sure how any of this solves the problem.

If I am on the internet there is no key or keys that I could definitively say came from the _real_ maintainers. I need to trust some source or sources for that.

In your model, committing to the repo requires a private key. This key claims ownership of the repo. If that key is lost or stolen I have lost ownership of that repo. With no out of band method to recover it.

If that key is unknowing stolen, ownership is switched to a new key, this is a pretty bad scenario.

Basically, I still always need to go to some other out of band source to verify that bad things have not happened.
I don't expect it to do any of these conversions, however it would be a noticeable improvement in terms of search.

Inhaling graphene oxide: Effects on lungs and heart
> there would likely be some other way of removing the pinned cert checks

Yes, but it's significantly harder than flipping a bit. There's also clever ways of countering this (e.g. checksumming the public key). Of course, even this is technically hackable, but extremely time-consuming in practice. Imagine getting the public key and adding a bunch (and by a bunch, I mean like 16k) of random ops throughout the control flow that crash the app if any random byte of the key is wrong. For extra fun, offset the byte by the instruction pointer. Good luck debugging that.

You're thinking of latency vs bandwidth/throughput. You might not improve on the latency part (speed of light), but you can increase the bandwidth (amount of data transferred per unit of time) just like a highway with more lanes can carry more people without increasing the individual speed of cars. You might even decrease car speed and still get an improved throughput overall.
Because this particular question is based on outdated euro-centric view of history. It is kind of like asking the question “Why is the white man more intelligent than other races?”. Any answer to questions like these will not inform anybody, and at worst it will reinforce the suppositions this question makes, no matter how valid those suppositions actually are.

Now to be clear, I’m not accusing Jared Diamond of being a white supremacist (he obviously isn’t), just that this particular book smells of being and outdated and misdirected view of history which happens to cater to euro-centrists (probably unintentionally). And this is a bit ironic given how he is often put in the same camp as Howard Zinn, the history legend him self.

How much time did the author actually spend using Infinite Craft?

Earlier versions of SQL did not support recursive queries (though there were vendor-specific extensions) so graph databases had a very real edge there. In fact, recent SQL versions have added "property-based" syntactic sugar for such queries to further improve ease of use.
You’re right that the signals have to be converted back into bits at the destination. Basically, this solves the problem of pumping those bits at high speed across traces on a circuit board vs within a chip. The longer a signal has to go, the harder it is to maintain its integrity.
