How exactly? If there were a hypothetical study that saw that people who have been homeless, even after homelessness, suffer from more diseases related to parasites, would it be "disingenuous and vapid?" Would it be trying to dress up a study in parasitology as cultural critique?

Or, alternatively, could both poverty and homelessness be related to culture?

It's clearly enough for many people. That's the only reason I use Affinity, although I do agree Adobe could change their pricing models overnight and they would be in trouble.
Yeah, I'd put the blame for that on the tools / systems which consume and report this kind of vulnerability data. They (at least as far as I've seen) don't really differentiate between severities of vulnerabilities. On the one hand, a strong preference toward "just patch" for vulnerabilities can make a lot of sense (the more that mechanism is flexed, the better it moves when you really need it, and rapid integration of fixes reduces time for exploitation by attackers), but here it's applied to a maintenance notice that ought to be treated a little differently.

Nonetheless, I think RustSec's feed is working as intended, and I'd put the expectation on the consuming tools (including `cargo-audit`, which I believe is largely maintained by the same people that maintain the RustSec vulnerability database) to change.
If you do port to Mac, do not forget to port your demo as well. Very often demos are Windows-only and that can definitely impair my purchasing choice.
> Is the quintessential experience meant to be soulless and grating?

Of course not. Few things in life are more fulfilling than a job you absolutely love and are excited to whack at every single day.

But your question raises another one of equal stature: Is the quintessential experience meant to be a job? If we are creative enough to make rocks that can learn to do our jobs for us, surely we are creative enough to craft an economic model which allows us who no longer need to work to paint or write poetry or rebuild antique engines without needing to starve?
Large bridges like this in Europe already have lights and sometimes barriers to allow them to be closed if there are very high winds, or a vehicle collision.

Adding a system that turns the lights red doesn't seem so expensive, it existed in Denmark in 2001 when a ship almost hit the Great Belt Bridge:

Road signs and barriers, normally used to slow traffic in bad weather [1]

(Autotranslation of [2])

> The VTS system (Vessel Traffic Service) must monitor and guide the ships, so that ships approaching the West Bridge and parts of the East Bridge can be avoided. In the event of danger of hitting the bridges, the navigators must trigger an alarm in accordance with detailed rules. The most critical are two bridge sections on the East Bridge over the connection spans to the anchor blocks (each 1-2 kilometres). If a ship is heading in there - where there are no artificial islands - the alarm must be given four minutes before approaching - so that the bridge section can be cleared. On the West Bridge, the warning time is not so critical, as you can see in good time if a ship is on the wrong track. The system operates using three radars, two infrared video cameras and two photosensitive ditto plus a standard VHF antenna system (see graphic). The station is continuously in contact with all ships over 50 gross tonnes and with a mast height of over 15 metres. The ship's call number, name, cargo, destination, draft, mast height, etc. are registered on arrival at the reporting lines, and when the ship and station are contacted on VHF channel 11, the ship is automatically marked (tracked) and provided with the call number, course and speed. At the same time, the computer goes in and calculates course and speed for the next 10 minutes, which can be seen as a yellow line in front of the radar signal, which is shaped like a tuft of wool. If a ship does not want to report, goes astray or refuses to follow the VTS navigator's instructions, the VTS station disposes of one of the fleet's rejection vessels, which has the authority to give orders to the foreign masters.

Sure, but people keep giving the same advice based on their lived experience. They have no way to receive signals that the ground truth has changed. Go ask a baby boomer what to do if you need a job, and there's a good chance they'll tell you to march into any local business, ask for a job, offer a firm handshake, "be willing to work hard and work your way up from the ground floor." Is that good advice? Not really, no, but it probably WAS good advice in 1965.

This is an extremely impressive write-up.

When writing security blog posts, there's always a constant battle of essentially "how much background/prerequisite knowledge do I assume," and getting the balance right to make it accessible but also feasible to write can be very challenging. Identifying your target market up front, and then delivering to that market with plenty of background info, is no easy feat! Well done!

I'm bookmarking this to give to aspiring researchers, of whom I meet a few every year who are looking for guidance like this.
Early in the article, the author tells the compiler not to inline calls to payload(). When that isn't inlined, the compiler can't tell if the body of the loop has side effects or not, so it won't be able to eliminate the loop.

Well, we'll see what they have to say.

While they have earned a measure of trust, the problem is that they aren't the ones you need to trust anymore - if Canva wants to turn Affinity into a collection of bloodsucking subscription apps, then that's what's going to happen, short of a legally binding guarantee to the contrary.

It's not 330p as 330 is the HORIZONTAL resolution, not the vertical. Vertical is still the same as NTSC (525 lines) or PAL (625 lines) so you'd technically have "480p" (NTSC) or "576p" (PAL) visible, with half the horizontal resolution. You can't describe these old video formats in the newer NNNp or NNNi terminology.

Only for those who use the dependency indirectly. This will likely see very few eyes to find bugs. The maintainer will also have a ramp up in having to deal with a large, unfamiliar code base that will be a hindrance to implementing fixes or reviewing them.

No, autovectorization is a lie and doesn't work. We're not stupid, we did it the way the article does it for a reason.

The main problems preventing it from working are that the compiler doesn't have enough information about alignment (especially if it's intentionally unaligned) or aliasing.

It tends to get things especially wrong when it autovectorizes code that was already partly hand vectorized; it ends up emitting the preludes (which correct for misalignment) twice.

It does work better for languages like Fortran made for it - contrary to popular belief C is not actually a low level language and isn't that easy to optimize.

If you work for these types then either harden yourself to their opinions of you or find other people to work for who aren’t classist bigots.

I got a parquet file once and I was like WTF is this format?

The problem with parquet is it's complicated and you basically have to remap from parquet to whatever you're importing into because the people on the other side have remapped from whatever to parquet.

There are likely relationships and constraints there that you'll have to hack around - which is harder to do because the parquet tools sort of suck/aren't as flexible.

With CSV you can hack around any problem in the ETL process.

Retirement Age vs. Years to Live
Maybe pointed at me - criticism comes from a sec startup selling a tool that, when deployed correctly, plugs into every upstream and downstream mission-critical data source, sees every security event worth responding too, and runs response… paired with zero upfront context on how the startup does security themselves (and upon further discussion, it’s not in their background, they have no hires, didn’t know 101 enterprise sec, and what is present is outsourced), what their roadmap is in this regard, why their tool is safe to use given those integrations, and the only info avail in this direction was a boilerplate security.md on GitHub.

All together, it tells me they know how to do great data eng, but not how to do their own blue team and didn’t consider this a critical topic to handle, but also want to sell to blue teams.

Security Saas with great tech are burning sec teams left and right these last 3 years, such that vendor risk questionnaires are changing to ask specifically about what I did in my thread.

I have a 14 year old and the content of social media seems to be what bums her out. She seems to be ingrained with the idea that she will never own a home, environmental disasters will be constant and the economy will be in shambles by the time she reaches adulthood.

Maybe America just has a uniquely depressive social media environment? I have not read any kind of large scale studies examining the "tone" of social media feeds in different countries but that would be interesting.

* Also whenever she says stuff like that I respond by letting her know she will be able to buy a house if she wants one, the economy will always be good for people who are work smart and hard, etc.

Not at all. Credit cards also earn the card issuer significant revenue via interchange fees: up to 3.5% of every purchase you make on the card.

With credit card transactions of ~$5T annually in the U.S., those fees are huge.

(In Europe, interchange fees are regulated and capped. But there are no such caps in the US, hence this lawsuit…)

Custom forms with support for triggering actions is definitely on the roadmap. I'm not sure where I stand on the possibility to add a fully fledged plugin system.

But it would be quite a task to make the UX good in the case of runtime errors etc.

It was a while since I had a look on how the plugin system works in Wordpress. I should read up on that. Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, but that's basically migrating to a new app. This means that the new app can't access the /data/data part of the other app.

This is of course not a huge deal for apps that are just wrappers of cloud services - but apps with local data will suffer the most.
> put parental controls on your kids devices

We did that. My kids (twins) pooled their allowance money for a few months and had a friend at school buy them an old iPhone that they shared in a locker at school. They went wild on social media once they were set loose, to the detriment of everyone involved.

There was a government report in the last couple years that concluded (paraphrasing) “the ideal amount of social media for teens is greater than zero and less than ‘all day’—but it’s not clear where it becomes harmful.”

TL;DR-nature, uh, finds a way…

If you're fixed in one spot, you can use general delivery [1]. If you're mobile, pick a mail processor who will receive your mail and either scan and send PDFs to you or mail forward to you. It's about $20/month. You can even use the address for residency if the processor is in Florida or South Dakota (although an overnight stay is usually required as part of this process). The USPS will perform identity proofing for Login.gov [2], but it is still up to your state government to provide you with a state ID or driver's license. USPS will hold your mail for 30 days at a time, and forward it temporarily to another address for up to 1 year at a time, at no cost to you [3].

If you're moving every 30 days, why are you claiming residency in a state? Residency is usually where you spend at least 183 days out of the year (lots of nuance here! talk to a tax attorney, not tax advice). The requirement to update your state government credential address is when your permanent address has changed, not when you're traveling (in your case, in an RV across the country).

The government isn't inept, they just aren't optimizing for this edge case. USPS serves ~258.3M adults in the US, how many of those folks fall into a highly mobile transient category?

Why is it that outcomes are not the same? Most poor folks remain such, and live their lives pro-creating young, etc. A minority of them overcome the situation given the circumstances presented: if it is a country in dire straits, they immigrate out. If it is the U.S. or another rich country, they make it work.
In places like LA and NYC and Chicago, there are immigrants who made it, poor who made it and poor who didn't.

>but nothing so bizzare it needs to be "explained".

It's not bizarre and I've already explained it: ChatGPT has no understanding of the rules that it communicates so perfectly. We've openly observed it in its errors. You just responded with another denial of that obvious fact, but you're now acknowledging that "GPT-4 can't play chess. It's that simple". So you've essentially agreed with what I've said, except to say you don't agree, but that you prefer no explanation to the obvious one.

I'm not quite sure what to do with that.

>A plane isn't "simulating flight". It flies.

Respectfully, that is another irrelevant analogy.

>You want to believe in an imaginary distinguisher that's so important but can't be tested for and it's silly.

This entire discussion is about the distinguisher, so I wouldn't classify it as imaginary. You just keep repeating that it doesn't mean anything.

But, I do agree that a model can be trained to a sufficient degree that its ability to demonstrate understanding is immaterial in effect from actual understanding.

I also agree that this discussion has veered into silly territory. I clearly am not getting the point across, so I will respectfully thank you for the engagement.

But, even ChatGPT will tell you that it doesn't "understand" in the traditional sense. That it essentially finds patterns, etc. So perhaps it will convince you where I could not. :)

Thanks again for the discussion.
I suppose https://old.reddit.com/r/burntsushi/ might be a good place for questions like this.

I don't really have a simple answer unfortunately. Part of it is just following my nose with respect to what I'm interested in. So there's an element of intrinsic motivation. The other part is trying to put myself in the shoes of users to understand what they want/need. I typically do a lot of background research and reading to try and understand what others have done before me and what the pain points are. And iteration plays a role too. The `csv` crate went through a lot of iteration for example.

I think that's about it. It's hard to answer this question in a fully general way unfortunately. But if you want to get into it, maybe you can be the first person who opens a thread on r/burntsushi haha.
Yeah, that is kind of what I meant. But also that individual UN members often issue punitive measures individually, which is looks to the language of the reaction to this one. There is a loud talk e.g. among EU countries—as well as EU it self—about the importance of enforcing this particular resolution. The way I understand it is basically telling Israel to obey or else.
