The general reaction I've see until now was "meh, we have to make compromises (don't make me rewrite this for people I'll probably never meet)"

Diacritics exacerbate this so much as they can be shared between two language yet have different rules/handling. French typically has a decent amount and they're meaningful but traditionally ignores them for comparison (in the dictionary for instance). That makes it more difficult for a dev to have an intuitive feeling of where it matters and where it doesn't.
When trailrunning, my worst injuries happened on flat and groomed paths, when I was not expecting potholes. When the trail is rough, I concentrate more and nothing happens, even if it is (at first sight) much riskier.
Your guess is as good as mine, but I assume it draws a line from coordinates (100, 100) to (200, 300)
In commercial real estate in general it’s unsurprising, but you can’t do lab work from home. The article indicates that labs are suffering from an industry slowdown, which is a bit different than everyone wfh.
Similar idea.

This looks somewhat heavier/bulkier than mine and I designed a latch/lever to grab and securely hold the card using the notch that is provided on one side. I'm pretty sure this is the intended purpose of the notch.

I'm also pretty sure that most ordinary microSD cards are reasonably waterproof. On the outside, they're solid molded plastic with contacts exposed. I've used different brands in the shower over long periods of time and gone swimming with them without any problem. I just wouldn't recommend powering them up wet --- might short the contacts.

I don't think this is accurate. In ANZ at least it's fairly uncommon, and I'd imagine there are a number of other similar countries. I would be surprised if the number isn't 100m+ first world users who don't fall into that bucket, not including the US.
So there’s an anti positron that has been measured to exist?

Where do “anti” things exist?

It seems closer to phase cancellation than an anti-thing. Like two sine waves out of phase.
VW Says There's No Market for an ID.Buzz Camper Van
Is the convenience of a few foreigners searching for something more important than the convenience of the many native speakers searching for the same?

Maybe we should start modifying the search behavior of English words to make them more convenient for non-native speakers as well. We could start by making "bed aidia" match "bad idea", since both sound similar to my foreign ears.
Search probably needs both modes. A literal and a fuzzy one.
Neither. I would bet on learning sales/marketing.

I learned this after our company wasted 144+ man months creating a web app no one wanted to purchase, while this nearly computer illiterate person built a profitable SaaS in only 3 months with no coding skills. Eventually he scaled it to $50,000 MRR and beyond. He explained how he did it, and his secret was marketing. When I say "marketing," in this context I mean a special type of marketing that focuses on the user.

I can't find the original presentation slides, but this is the business Dane described building: https://www.paperlesspipeline.com

No coding skills. Just marketing.

- You will almost certainly need sales/marketing to sell your product/service.

- Marketing will tell you if an idea is worth building, even before you start development.

- (Job search/hiring is just another form of marketing.) You can use marketing to hire the best developers to build both a web app and mobile app.

- Marketing (market research) will tell you which to build (app vs. web app)

Even marketing isn't a silver bullet, but I think it maximizes your chances of success. Dane Maxwell developed the most risk-free way to start a business (based on marketing). He currently teaches his method here: https://startfromzero.com

https://30x500.com is a very similar course, geared more towards techies.

And this is like a "greatest hits" collection of the best marketing lessons compressed into a single book: https://expertsecrets.com

My brother recently asked for help in determining who a footballer (soccer player) was from a photo. Like in many sports, the jerseys have the players name on the rear, and this player’s was in Cyrillic - Шунин (Anton Shunin) - and my brother had tried searching for Wyhnh without success.

Anyway, my point is that perhaps ideally (and maybe search engines do this) the results should be determined by the locale of the searcher. So someone in the English speaking world can find Łódź by searching for Lodz, but a Pole may need to type Łódź. My brother could find Shunin by typing Wyhnh, but a Russian could not…
Pardon my ignorance, but does “actual root” imply some kind of connection between a Linux root user and the motherboard chipset?
Why the Computer Chose Cancun (1972)
Sure, at some point you're going to be relying on some 3rd party somewhere. We use a VPS and not a bare-metal hand-installed rack, and we rely on an electrical company and not a hand-turned crank to power our servers. As far as email goes, It's simply not possible to self-host transactional email in 2024 if you want it to arrive in an inbox and not a permanent spam blackhole; this is a people problem and not a technical one. Likewise, another people problem is that it's not possible to accept money online without involving a 3rd party service like Fractured Atlas or Stripe or PayPal.

(Moving away from GitHub towards a self-hosted Git solution, and away from Google Groups to a self-hosted mailing list, is actually on our long-term todo list[1]).

All those things don't mean one can't run one's web app on a single tiny server, like we do. I still argue that outsourcing the basic fundamentals of one's web app, like the OS, runtime, or database to some cloud service, or resorting to flavor-of-the-month frameworks or containers, or doing silly things like using Javascript to render one's entire frontend, often simply result in complexity, slowness, and bloat.

You are not wrong but you may be hinting at the wrong cause. It is hard to generate a useful graph or summary that gives actionable feedback once you reach a certain amount of nodes. Even mix app.tree, which has no cycles, is barely useful after 30-50 deps because it becomes dense.

Using mix xref to evaluate your project will, at best, give you a very blurry picture. Think of it more of a database: it will give you good information when you need to answer certain queries.

oh yeah I mean the source code for Driver has tonnes of inline assembly inside C files, so there was definitely value in using it. Writing the entire game in assembly is just taking it a step further, and like someone else said - if that's what you're most comfortable with, I don't think that's as insane as it sounds.

Ah, good point. But typography is supposed to support the semantics, so at least I was not totally wrong.
> The idea of having your intellectual competitors review your work potentially sabotage your publication prospects as a standard process is a relatively recent addition. And one that has not been shown to actually be effective.

If this is true (and I'm not doubting you, just acknowledging that I'm taking your word for it) then why abandon the entire system? Why not just roll it back to the state before we added the intellectual competitor review?
You missed this part:

> in government computers

Seems like a pretty achievable target. The US does this same thing at even larger scales for materials used in federal construction projects—the contractors are responsible for ensuring that (almost?) all materials are sourced from the US and are required to provide documentation to prove it. If the US can do it for everything in a building down to the bolts and screws, I have little doubt that China can figure it out for CPUs.
Xiaomi and Huawei already distribute billions of devices not using Intel.

You could take their phones, right now, plug in a keyboard and monitor and call it a workstation.
Hand crafted with mild arrogance
> It’s akin to the US government saying they’re going to develop their own operating systems and architectures via subcontractors. Most people would assume it’s doomed instantly.

> In China it’s next level.

And yet, somehow, China gets things done and the USA doesn't.

I honestly don't know how much corruption goes on and how much grifting there is in those processes, but their infrastructure, manufacturing, and overall tech are literally next level compared to America.

I have no worries they'll achieve their goal of CPU independence.
Neat, but this is basically a ripoff of this post from a few years ago (even to the point of not including the runtime implementation):

That fact comes up in every single rollercoaster tycoon discussion, so maybe they just assumed most knew about it. It also doesn't seem relevant to the point of the article.
It's funny because in that last sentence I think you're describing something like in the article. "Holding the door open" might not be something that people do to strictly have the potential to hold the door open for a CEO, but they definitely hit on that possibility more often than those who don't hold the door open at all. So is that "blind luck", or in the parent example (and i think sort of the articles) is that more along the lines of "stirring the pot"?
A dramatic take
Even though it is all cool about having well treated strays on Istanbul. There's also a non-negligible number of rabies cases in the city. Both from stray dogs and cats.

Last year I got scratched by a stray cat (details are unnecessary, but I was trying to help it to get out of a ledge it got stuck), and I was surprised to discover there was a small but existent chance of getting rabies. After pondering about it and getting advice from friends from the city, I decided to go on the arduous mission of getting a rabies shot on a holiday, not all hospitals work on holidays, even fewer speak English on a basic level. Even though I enjoyed my staying in general, this whole experience was a real PITA. Specially when I come from a place where rabies was practically erradicated in the last decades
Not at all really.

The 9Ghz clock was achieved not through any normal cooling or by efficiency of the chip.

These overclocking records have been around for decades but they're in no way shape or form representative of the average of even the top 1% of users.

It's impressive purely because it was possible with an off the shelf chip.
Probably not. They are probably referring to root of trust. Though they could also just be referring to "root" as a colloquialism to compromise the system but we are going to go with root of trust for sake of discussion.

The motherboard (and associated UEFI/BIOS bits) is responsible for bootstrapping the Secure Boot process, it holds the keys that are used to verify the boot loader etc, which then chain-loads into a signed initramfs and kernel which then would normally decrypt and authenticate the filesystem.

This chain of trust only works forwards. If you pwn any link in that chain then everything forward of it is now untrusted. Thus compromising the actual root, i.e the UEFI/BIOS firmware is the ultimate hack. Especially if it can be done persistently and without detection.

Now for a normal desktop this doesn't really matter but on something like an EV (basically computer on wheels in Tesla's case atleast) then it really matters. High value military computers wouldn't be much different in this respect.
There are no streaks of gamma radiation (or any sort) going across the Milky Way connecting the stars.

The second issue is less obvious - the Milky Way is some 13 billion years old, has hundreds of millions of stars, but is only 100,000 light years across. Fact - the technological limitations of "today" (this century, this mya), are with empirical certainty not relevant.

Interstellar voyage is not amenable to the time preferences and capabilities of the great ape. The only stuff that could transport life across the galaxy does so slowly and without propulsion.
And so the ceiling being 5 years per count here seems rational to you because it's in the guidelines, and "no one is actually going to get that". Which is exactly my point.

The rationale here seems to be that if we give a large enough entity enough leeway with the lives of its constituents, then anything less than the extremes of punishment is necessarily morally righteous because they were not the subject of the minimum or maximum punishment - punishment that the large-enough-entity was indeed capable of giving them because of that leeway - but kind enough instead to apply "the law" which necessitates punishment somewhere between the extremes.

Which is exactly the point of "guidelines" being super high in the first place - so that you can be a subject of anything in-between the floor and the worst imaginable, and people can turn around and feel just about it, because they are not its subject.

My point is no one should be seeing even a year in prison as their punishment for essentially smuggling sheep, it has nothing to do with federal sentencing guidelines, the argument is from a moral perspective - it biases the punishment upwards and then allows the court to assert any fine or damages below that amount but vastly above what it would be if the maximum was not five years per count.
I've been using Aegis for a number of years, and have found nothing I don't like about it. It's a perfectly functional app, and I'm looking forward to trying out the new update!
I use Bitwarden for passwords and 2FA (browser plugin, Android app for mobile). Definitely not recommended by anyone security focused, but these 2fa are forced onto me by different platforms and not something I chose/care.

There should be desktop authenticator software. If I can have one on Linux I'm sure all the other desktop OSs have at least 1.
I'm hard opposed to storing my second factor codes alongside my first factors. Part of the reason why I use 2FA is because if my password store is compromised, the accounts in it that are compromised do not contain all of the credentials necessary to log into the accounts protected by 2FA. I also do not store my emergency removal codes in the same secret store as my passwords for this reason.
Peer review is pretty unpopular round these parts. In mathematics/TCS I've had mostly good experiences. Actually most of the time the review process improved my papers.

Clearly something is rotten about the way peer review is implemented in the empirical sciences. But think of all those high profile retractions you read about these days. Usually that comes about by a sort of post hoc peer review, not by anything resembling market forces.
Facebook Is Filled with AI-Generated Garbage–and Older Adults Are Being Tricked
Fully agree and endorse.

But my point is... those are all web applications too, and they don't have the option of outsourcing everything. Someone has to build a system that does more than just serve static files.

The claim that 'the majority of web applications can run on a single server' is kind of belied by the example of a site where not even the majority of sub-applications that are required to provide the full functionality of the system are running on a single server.
I don' think it's a bad gamble, it'll just take longer then expected to lease all of this. IMHO, I think the Boston "tech hub" has pivoted in the last 20 years to biotech/life sciences. Kendall in particular seems to have more and more biotech, multiple new buildings around the Science Museum and Assembly Sq. Even Rt 128 "the computer commute" is ... well is far less techy these days (no more DEC, Prime). Who are the big s/w companies still based in Boston? EMC, Akamai? ...?

My opinion is that the pivot is driven by non-competes [without a much needed CA style prohibition]. Long ago you needed expensive computer time or pricy tools to write software, but these days you don't need a VAX to write software or an expensive MSDN subscription provided by your employer. You can do it on your personal laptop at home with open source tools -- your employer's non-competes significantly stifle this sort of innovation. However, Biotech and life sciences needs expensive lab space, specialized plumbing and infrastructure and complex equipment -- you can't really cook up a new drug in your kitchen on the weekends as you might with some new software idea.

So I think there's still a ton of super-smart people coming out of the universities in the Boston area, but the software folks are being drawn elsewhere (Silicon Valley), whilst the biotech ones stay because of the inertia here.
"True peer review begins after publication." --Eric Weinstein
I’m sure you’ve heard this from everyone, and I don’t mean to minimize your frustration here, but - if you can find a way to see the eclipse, you really should. It’s a uniquely memorable event.
For small cluster you can just create service account for a user, create token for it and write it in the kubeconfig. Then assign role to this service account and that's about it.

The main issue with this approach is that you can't organize those "users" into a groups. But for a small number of users you can just create all rolebindings and be done with it.
nice one.

each party generates a public/private key pair,
the key in the url is a public key to exchange with a peer,
then the communication is encoded/decoded with the keys, right ?
Bad reasons to trust code:

* “Many __informal__ eyes have probably looked at it”

* Lack of recent __number__ of (known) vulnerabilities

* “Serious guys” (appeal to authority)

I think you’re using short-hand, but perhaps the short-hand should be different. E.g.

* A list of audits by date, independent organization, is provided __here__ which is evidence of review

* The vulnerability acknowledgement, correction and release process is prompt, accurate and detailed, which is documented __here__

* XYZ coding, testing, fuzzing, proving, bounty, integration with other systems, documentation, defaults etc. practices are used in the interest in hardening the code, limiting moving parts, attack radius, etc.
I really miss these building games that used an isometric grid. RC Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon, Sim City, TTD, …

Yes, it's less realistic, but it is so pleasant to work with. Everything you build aligns perfectly and if you want, you can neatly fill the entire map.

In comparison, (even with many mods) my Cities Skylines or Planet Coaster creations never look quite right. Building the roads and paths is always awkward and frustrating.
What was your issue? Just lack of familiarity? (Which is perfectly fine.)
The larger point is probably that search and comparison are inherently hard as what humans understand as equivalent isn't the same for the machine. Next stop will be upper case and lower case. Then different transcriptions of the same words in CJK.
Mandos tries to mitigate this problem by periodically checking that the rebooting server is still up. Exactly how this is done is configurable, but by default it uses ssh-keyscan to check if the server is up and using the SSH server key from its normal encrypted root file system. If a server is ever down too long (configurable, default 5 minutes), the Mandos server will “disable” that server in its server list, and not provide the password to that server anymore.

The idea is that you should configure the timeout to be long enough to allow for a normal kernel panic and reboot, but hopefully short enough that it would be hard for anyone to compromise the server in that time. It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s the best anyone has come up with as far as I know.

(Disclosure: I am a co-author of Mandos.)

It's always bizarre when someone on a discussion forum defers to the writings of someone else. If that someone else wanted to have a discussion, they could do so themselves. But since I'm in a silly mood, I'll play along with your silliness:

From the GNU C manual: "An enumeration type represents a limited set of integer values, each with a name."

Which is exactly what Go provides. Which isn't surprising as it is identical to C in that regard.
The Supreme Court is considering if Administrative Law Judges (ALJ [1]) are unconstitutional. SEC v. Jarkesy.

Fun fact: adherence to law is not required in an ALJ court. If one loses in ALJ, then one may proceed to appeal in a regular court where law must be considered.

>> Why not just roll it back to the state before we added the intellectual competitor review?

Journals don't add much value outside of their peer review.

Most researcher don't care about the paper copies, or pagination, or document formatting services provided by publishers. Their old paper based distribution channels are simply not used.
I do agree it's a bit different. How close maybe depends on what motivates you to be interested in the preprint review model in the first place? Could imagine this varies by person.

In a certain sense, the entire field of comp sci has become reorganized around preprint review. The 100% normal workflow now is that you first upload your paper to arXiv, circulate it informally, then whenever you want a formal review, submit to whatever conference or journal you want. The conferences and journals have basically become stamp-of-approval providers rather than really "publishers". If they accept it, you edit the arXiv entry to upload a v2 camera-ready PDF and put the venue's acceptance stamp-of-approval in the comments field.

A few reasons this might not fit the vision of preprint review, all with different solutions:

1. The reviews might not be public.

2. If accepted, it sometimes costs $$ (e.g. NeurIPS has a $800 registration fee, and some OA journals charge APCs).

3. Many of the prestigious review providers mix together two different types of review: review for technical quality and errors, versus review for perceived importance and impact. Some also have quite low acceptance rates (due to either prestige reasons or literal capacity constraints).

TMLR [1] might be the closest to addressing all three points, and has some similarity to eLife, except that unlike eLife it doesn't charge authors. It's essentially an overlay journal on openreview.net preprints (covers #1), is platinum OA (covers #2), and explicitly excludes "subjective significance" as a review criterion (covers #3).
