Okay, but what do you actually do to identify? A social security number is a 1:1 to a person, if I understand them correctly. It's a direct ID number which lots of relatively low-paid, bribeable people can translate into a person's identity through a government lookup. How would you translate those groups into a person? It's a woman who's pregnant, 20-30, in Belfast. Now what?

This is one of the larger cognitive holes in human cognition. "If (undecidable A), then X, and if (not undecidable A) then X" is not just a math problem. I've seen it freeze entire teams of people of people in real life, in real business meetings. It is a common component of the more advanced "a guy wears a red hat if it is raining and a blue hat if it is not, you see someone wearing an orange hat, is he a cannibal?" riddles. It can inform your investment strategy. It can resolve even debates with your significant other when you say "hang on, if we go with your reason we do X and if we go with my reason we do X, let's just agree to do X each for our own reason".

It is very powerful to be able to advance past an uncertainty in some logic net and establish certainty on the other side. It's not a thing that comes up every day by any means, but it's a great tool to add to your belt.

And you can see even in this comment thread that it is not intuitive for people.

I certainly applaud the author’s creativity, but aren’t there potential very significant downsides to using abusing an account linked to your identity in order to fraudulently obtain services?

So much this. The whole ad industry is afraid that most websites would switch to simpler more private compliant alternatives which would break their business (of reselling snooping data).
So they are on marketing campaign to paint these alternatives as non compliant and requiring banners too. Basically every fart now needs a consent banner and when you already have a banner why not have this most invasive visitor screen recorder analytics that we send to our 743 partners in real time.
It’s been a while and I would like to scan the content of the book again before an attempt to answer that question. I have some idea but I would like to provide specific references. I am currently traveling and do not have access to my library so this will remain unanswered, at least from my end, for now. I see the point in your question!
As Russian iphone customers lose their ability to use VPNs to get around the Putin regime's censorship, it's essential to remember that Apple shares the responsibility for this repression.

The company's "use the app store or do without" policy is a choke point that dictatorships happily leverage against their citizens.

Putin is a monster, but he counts on the control freakery in Cupertino.
Fun fact: coffee with cow's milk tastes disgusting to me now. I'm a total soy milk convert, and that about does it for dairy. I rarely eat cheese. Eliminating dairy was trivial. I still eat meat though, but I live in Australia so we have relatively inexpensive grass fed stuff that is produced domestically (for now).
I would be surprised if internal documents didn't point to individuals involved knowingly allowing the company to find itself here. That said, I obviously don't have that access and couldn't say if criminal charges against any individuals are reasonable.

That said, I can say that whether the charges would be supported or not I don't think regulators or investigators are willing to pursue it and will happily stop at only slapping the corporation on the wrist.
Thank You.

Just FYI for others; the full name of the book is "Trades, Quotes and Prices : Financial Markets Under the Microscope".

Looks like a very comprehensive book though somewhat advanced for me at my current level. Do you have a more beginner level book/resource recommendation to go with this where from i can get an overview and familiarize myself with the jargon?
I really like the RK3588, I have it on a little SBC here that I'm using as a NAS, Immich photo storage, and Plex, sitting in a cigar box hooked via Ethernet to my 3gpbs fiber connection and it's been running low power with no problems for months on end no downtime, no overheating, very low idle power consumption. Much heftier I/O capability than an RPi.

However the kernel situation wasn't great the last time I went down that path. Lots of monkey patches, shell scripts and blobs and crap to compile from scratch, old kernel versions, hardcoded virtual memory limits, etc. I haven't touched the vendor-image provided Debian since installing because I'm a bit afraid. Maybe I should poke at it again soon.

More than a laptop what I want is this chip in a Mini-ITX format in an affordable price bracket. (There's the "Firefly" one but it's $800+ USD for the 32GB model, which is kind of insane.) It makes a great low power server.
Today is an exciting yet nerve-wracking day for me - I'm launching my product on Product Hunt for the first time. I deliberately didn't set overly high expectations; what's important to me is the moment of making the project public and shifting my mindset towards external promotion, rather than working in closed demo mode.

However, it seems that Product Hunt isn't what it used to be: it appears they've changed their business strategy, and Launch Days are different now. Whether this is good or bad isn't for me to judge; only time will tell. But what surprised me greatly was that after I posted about my product launch on LinkedIn today, I was bombarded with offers to support the product with upvotes and comments for money. I don't know if this happened before, but if Product Hunt wants to maintain the legitimacy of their TOP products, they definitely need to do something. Even businesses willing to pay $5-10k for promotional advertising find themselves competing with fixers charging $1 per upvote, ultimately giving businesses nothing but hype. Previously, being in the TOP 3 or even TOP 10 led to audience growth and paid users, and sooner or later, businesses will return to analyzing PH's effectiveness as a customer acquisition channel.

For now, everyone can pass their own verdict and place the comma in the phrase:
Execute cannot pardon

It seems to me that topics TCS and complexity theory are to CS undergrads and CS-adjacent professionals akin to how topics in particle physics are to the layman. We've heard of the word NP-hard like how the layman has heard of entanglement, and then we've substituted working through the mathematical development with terrible pop analogies and fanciful imagination.

I am a fan of the dev branch strategy [1], where I have a specific commit that holds all my customizations that I rebase off of. This blog post has it set up such that git automatically ignore pushing the dev commit, but I haven't really gotten that far yet. I just rebase my branch off current main when I'm ready to push.

I’m not. Or, rather, not a fan of turning >100,000 km^2 of forest into tree farms, with another 100,000 being spared the fate simply because exploiting it is not economically viable.

I’m Finnish, and us Finns like to talk about our special relationship with nature, and how we haven’t turned all of our forests into ships, fuel, and farmland like the West Europeans have. And that’s true. 75% of the country is covered in trees. We industrialized too late to have done much of the former two, and the climate and soil types aren’t very conducive to the latter except in the south-western parts of the country.

But.

By and large, those trees exist because it’s considered economically important for them to exist. Over 95% of the forests in the southern half of the country are far from their untouched state – they haven’t seen a natural process of succession, or ecological diversity, in generations. They are tree plantations, not real forests.

The destructive practice of clear-cutting was literally the only legally allowed method of harvesting until very recently, and it’s still preferred by all but the most ecologically aware land owners because old habits die hard.

Finnish forestry practices are proudly being called sustainable – and indeed they are when it comes to raw yields and economic output. (That’s changing as well, though, as plantations are getting harvested younger and younger, for a quicker return on investment – as in, 50–60 years rather than the recommended 90–100!)

But for a long time, that very narrow economical viewpoint of sustainability is all that mattered, and indeed many forest owners (often including the state itself) cannot even fathom that their practices could be somehow unsustainable. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has quite a bit of power, and there’s an obvious conflict of interests in having the double portfolio of both protecting natural land and exploiting it economically.

Many if not most Finns now think that managed forest is what forests are supposed to be like because they have never seen real, ecologically diverse woodland with ongoing natural succession. Sure, it still beats the alternative of having little forest cover, and broad freedom to roam rights mean anyone can use Finnish forests for recreation, whether privately owned or not, but as it becomes more and more clear that climate change simply cannot be tackled independently of the loss of biodiversity, but rather those two issues are deeply interweaved.

You seem very determined for MacBooks to be bad. You're allowed to hold that opinion. Different people have different requirements from their hardware and I can believe that a MacBook isn't a good fit for everyone. But IMO when assessed as a general purpose machine the MacBook is objectively the best device available.

When I was the sole IT guy, I had taken over from an Accountant who dabbled in programming/system administration. His approach was typical of the time... He'd say "What did you break this time?" In a joking but maybe not manner.

I never did that. I always assumed it was a hardware/software/training issue. My go-to introduction to how I viewed computers was

"You've got 2 folders open on the screen. You click and drag a file from one to the other, what's going to happen? -- There are 3 possible things that could happen, it might copy it, move it, or maybe make a shortcut. -- All based on rules I don't expect you to remember."

I'd explain about right-clicks, copy and paste, and a few other things... and they'd usually be good to go.

I understand that computers are a tool to get a job done, not an object of worship. I wish more people understood that in tech.

It's definitely math, or specifically logic. The writing style in the article leans heavily on logical statements.

Perhaps an interesting aside:

I always thought that mathematical logic, or at least the parts we typically learn to describe CS concepts, is pretty hardcore in terms of the abstract thinking we have to perform.

Until I saw what philosophers have to learn...

They are taught much richer and complex concepts that can describe how logic bleeds into written/spoken language and how you extract this logic from text. Logic is used, recognized and analyzed in pretty much _everything_ they do.

In contrast, we get by with the kindergarten version of logic for most things.

I'd be interested to see what college graduates have to say about the value of their experience on reflection. My degree is merely a checkbox I can add to my CV.

The big difference is the migrants aren't mentally ill. That's the actual issue, the bulk of homeless people have an issue that makes them much more difficult to house. Where I live we have cheap housing.

$35 a month housing projects. Then we even have loads of "Human Service Homes" or halfway houses for people that need more help. They get food, clean clothes and transportation provided daily. They even have planned outings like bowling or they get $20 to go shop at a thrift store.

Some people make it work, but the housing projects tend to have lots of drug addicts that are functional but would prefer to spend their money on drugs instead of housing but the low price point keeps them mostly off the street. Of course they frequently get too high and cause issues. The large concentration of addicts also leads to gangs being present which causes other issues. So overall it's just not a great environment.

The DHS homes are dispersed throughout the community. A high amount of drug addicts but also more mentally unstable. They frequently leave the houses, often times entering other people's property. They will cause scenes and messes in the yards, many of them are sex offender. Sometimes they wander off and can't be found. Nothing like wondering where the schizophrenic person nextdoor might pop up.

And at least once or twice a year someone gets killed or seriously injured by a halfway House resident.

Then on top of that we still have a few homeless people that are so disconnected from reality they just won't go indoors.

So to me the biggest issue is that even if you provide housing WHERE can you put it because most people simply don't want to live in close proximity to the mentally ill / drug addicts.
Rails 7.2 Adds app:update Task to be a Rails Command
This is close to the question I asked above, comparing to audio. If you're processing 32 samples at a time at 48kHz, you need to process a frame every 667us. If you only hit the deadline 99.9% of the time, that's a glitch more than once per second. You'd need a bunch more nines for an acceptable commercial product, so most audio devs just treat it as a hard realtime constraint.

I think the main split is whether you care more about average latency or worst-case latency (or some # of nines percentile).

At least in the more immediate term, I think housing should be provided somewhere affordable (you might need to go 100-200 miles east realistically)

But actually I'll go a step further and say everyone should have access to housing. Don't make it glamorous. People will choose to work to have a nicer quality of life.

Aligning the state against capital might actually result in meaningful changes. The government can increase their holdings of property and develop subsistence housing on it. Right now a big problem is also that there isn't enough housing.

I think this would need to be implemented at the federal level to avoid the issues you're talking about. Also, at least at the start, people shouldn't be able to move to new cities and receive free housing. Instead they should be limited to free housing in a place nearby where they've been living, or the option to move somewhere that the federal government is able to provide an adequate housing supply.

Basic housing shouldn't be seen as a 'luxury'.
If I look and think that this is another move by redhat to replace a simple independently developed solution with one that's complex enough to require a red hat issued certification, am I paranoid?
