There are embedded Java systems. I hope you never have to work with any.

In general, embedded systems suffer from severe lack of tool developer attention. People standardize on the very few things that reliably work like C, C++, and printf debugging because they don't have the bandwidth for anything more. Anything outside the beaten track has a high chance of running into showstopping bugs halfway through a project and embedded teams are already struggling to find developer time in the typical situation of 1-10 people maintaining 1M+ LOC codebases.

Rust is the first real alternative to C and C++ in decades because it's actually trying to address the ecosystem issues.
Well, perhaps the people glorifying this book are the ones who have misunderstood it. They certainly did not convey anything about it to me besides what I have said and criticized here. I don't feel the need to read it one way or another. If the main idea is simply that property tax can be good, I already think that. If the main idea is that property tax is likely to fix poverty and inequality (as I have been led to believe), nothing in it can possibly convince me of that. On a similar note, I don't think that reading a Bible will make me doubt the theory of evolution, or the laws of physics. And you can't convince me that the Bible is not contrary to those principles, because I know better than that.
The proof is not really formal, but you could view the shown system as a minimal subset of an arbitrarily shaped large system.

For the system to be distributed it must have at least two nodes, and to be available all nodes must respond to requests. So however the rest of the system is shaped, the proof still holds.
It doesn't cost anything or hurt to keep older versions available to download--versions that work on the older OS/API levels.
But this assumes the person wouldn’t have withdrawn their funds, during that period of time.
Mostly, I don't think this contract qualifies as an attempt to restrict your rights for that clause. It's an offer to give WP Engine something that they're not required to be given, in exchange for WP Engine not doing something while that contract is in effect. Crucially, they're not giving up their right to fork, they're just agreeing not to use it so long as the trademark license contract is active. And the term sheet says either party can terminate it for a material breach without any mention of penalties, so I don't think you can argue that they're being locked in to not using their GPL rights for any unreasonable time period -- they can fork whenever they feel like it, they just have to give up the not-GPL-required trademark license when they do.

Separately, the GPL calls out that you're allowed to place a restriction on your distributed code when it comes to trademarks, in that you're not required to license your trademark. I.e. you're allowed to distribute code that's GPL-licensed but that it's impossible for people to legally use as-provided without either forking it or obtaining an extra license from you. v3 is a lot more explicit about this, but it seems implicit in v2 as well.

You could certainly take the position that any sort of trademark license containing usage restrictions at all qualifies as a restriction under the GPL, so your only choices are to completely allow or forbid usage of your trademarks without any conditions. I disagree with that view.

People tend to care about the games, and buy whatever platform those games run on, not the other way around.
I've seen companies that would consider this a timely response.
yeah, it's interesting seeing some vintage used parts show up for sale from China on eBay from refurbishers (e.g. a SODIMM for a 20 year old laptop), but not a thing from Ghana.
>If you're in passive stealth mode, you can't detect the enemy and they can't detect you until both sides are extremely close

Your side can have another plane paint the enemy plane, so now you can see him without your emitting anything.
There's definitely a pattern, but I don't want to assume motive. I doubt SBF will get his retrial, but still, it's good PR for a lot of people -- for Effective Altruism, for Stanford, for Sequoia -- whose reputations took a hit here. It's even good PR for the bankruptcy team to say that they got full restitution. And for the journalists, of course, it's a headline that really pops.

But sitting here, we can't really know why we're being lied to. All we can do is take note of the lies, and of who's repeating them.
Exclusive games, support the types of games they make, the services/events they provide, etc.

Richard Feynman was brought onto what would become the Manhattan project at age 24. He had not yet earned a graduate degree.

Lina Khan was 32 when she started as FTC chair. Prior to that, she had researched anti-trust at the New America Foundation, received a JD from Yale, worked as a legal director at the Open Markets Institute, worked as a legal fellow at the FTC, and served as counsel to the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Antitrust.

I don't disagree that she made some early missteps at the FTC, but this is far from her first rodeo. I also think that, on balance, it's a benefit to hire young, promising voices to positions of power, and that we should get back to a place where we do that a lot more.
The digitizing to film

Scanning film would be digitizing it, going out to film could be called printing.

does add a little blur

A lot of blur. 35mm film had a lot of folk wisdom built up around it and even though it would be scanned and worked on at 2k resolution for live action vfx, if you actually zoomed in it would be extremely soft.

You could get away with 1.5k just for printing to the first generation film, let alone the 2nd gen master prints and the third gen prints that went out to theaters.

The filter did kinda matter

It is extremely unlikely lighters were changing the actual pixel sample filters on a shot by shot basis. This is something that is set globally. Also if you set it differently for different passes and you use holdouts, your CG will not line up with the other CG renders and you will get edges from the compositing algebra not being exact.

I was highly impressed with how sensitive the director and lighting/fx supes were to filter differences,

No one is changing the pixel sampling filters on a shot by shot basis and no one is going to be able to tell the filter just by looking at playing back on film. This is simply not reality.

and how quickly they could spot them in animated clips that were often less than one second long

Absolutely not. Whatever you are talking about is not different pixel sample filters. Aliasing in general yes, but that's much more complex.

The main thing they were doing was trying to avoid texture sizzle without overblurring.

This has nothing to do with the renderer's pixel sample filters which is what would be the only analog to the article here. Maybe you are talking about texture filtering, although that is not a difficult problem due to mipmapping and summed area mapping. Even back then a geforce 2 could do great texture filtering in real time.

Maybe you are talking about large filter sizes in shadow maps, which need a lot of samples when using percentage closer filtering, but that has nothing to do with this.
What are those secrets?
Americans don’t refer, in English, to the inhabitants of countries south of them as “latinos.” You are simply incorrect on this.

Among Spanish speakers the word is used, but it is a cultural not geographic term. There are ISA and Canadian Latinos too.
> I'm pretty sure the scenario above is looking at committed writes.

> If you're reading uncommitted writes, you're not really in the market for consistency to being with.

But what does "committed" mean when you're only reading from one partition in a partitioned scenario? You literally can't tell whether what you're reading is committed or not (or rather, you have to build your own protocol for when a write is considered committed).

> For pure read operations, I'm not convinced it's a proper stale read unless the value was stale before the read operation started.

I think you can get a read that is half from a prior stale operation and half from a subsequent uncommitted operation, or something on those lines.
It is both less specific (there are many countries named “United States of …”) and unpronounceable in English.
The sheer insanity and quality of writing in Hunter S Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas cements it as probably the best book I've read in terms of enjoyment and influence on my own prose.

In terms of the book that's perhaps made me think and reflect the most, Daniel Keyes Flowers for Algernon has probably had the greatest effect on me.

Let me rephrase my answer:

FTX made a good number in the double digits of investments and acquisitions. (https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/ftx-exchange/recent_...)

I believe Anthropic was the most acclaimed/highest current value, and they still have about 1/3 of the original 8% investment.

a) I am curious at what discount they sell Anthropic shares right now;

b) I am not sure what is the prognosis for the other shares FTX owns;

[
c) which creditors have preference to which money pot; usually there is a pyramid. Here it talks about consumers. (Specifically those owed less than $50k.)
And there is a separate matter for shareholders who are looking at getting some of the seized by DoJ proceeds. (https://www.reuters.com/legal/crypto-exchange-ftxs-liquidati....)

Best way in general is to read the actual pleadings: news is not the best at giving a good idea what the court is actually ordering.
Apple doesn't sell a MacBook with a cellular modem, drawing stylus, or 4:3 screen. Also, iPads sometimes get the newest chips first (e.g. M4)

To be clear, as an iPad Pro owner, I don't think "just put macOS on iPad" is the answer to the iPad's problems, either. But I can appreciate why people complain about it. Apple sold them "a computer", they want "a computer". With full iPad ports of Mac apps, a filesystem that isn't entirely built around share sheets and hope, project exports that don't demand you keep the app foregrounded because Apple can't be arsed to add a "Eat The Whole Battery" multitasking mode, multiple user profiles, third-party developer tools, third-party app distribution, and generally, the ability to innovate on the platform without Apple's prior written consent[0].

The iPad was originally announced as Apple's answer to the netbook: a cheap(ish) touch computer for casual computing tasks and games. In that narrow lane, it succeeded. But in 2015 with the introduction of the iPad Pro, Apple decided that the iPad was going to replace the Macintosh. The Mac was there to be to the iPad what the Apple Lisa was to early Macs: an annoying technical relic to bootstrap software onto the newer, superior platform. Except Apple didn't have the courage to pull the trigger on several features necessary for creative and development workflows on iPadOS until it was too late. e.g. The reason why iPadOS is built so heavily around share sheets is because, for the first six years of the iPad's life, that was the only way to share data between apps[1]. So there's a lot of old apps that do things the annoying way, a lot of roadblocks that get put up arbitrarily, and so on.

[0] More broadly, the creative economy needs to stop talking about consent. Consent is for sex, not creativity.

[1] iOS 9 (?) added support for shared containers, but AFAIK each app that wants to use the container has to opt into it; and all apps have to be published by the same corporate entity or otherwise consent to data sharing in this way. There was no way to just have files owned by the user and nonconsensually modified by other apps.
I agree, but then that should not be falsely characterized as a failure of the nuclear industry and technology. The failure was humans, and a very specific subset at that.
Could you elaborate? What’s up with those brands?
If the compiler crashes, no safety-breaking code was generated.
I'm imagining a shoulder mounted auto-targeting pistol.

9mm rounds go 1500 ft per second, so probably within 300 meters a drone wouldn't have the reaction time to dodge a bullet with precise aim.

It could also be mounted on a dog, real or robotic.

Actually building this thing though might be a science fiction dream.
>A closed source product is still closed source even if you ship the source code to paying customers, so long as the license prohibits them from sharing that source code with the general public

There is an important distinction between having legal protection and having technical protection. Giving up the code may not cause you to lose legal protection, but it can certainly lead you to lose control of your product in fact.

As for the notes about how software used to be shipped, that's OK. But it does not disprove anything I said. Shipping a shared library and a program that loads it is simpler than anything else you can think of involving object files or whatever (that complies with LGPL). It is an approach that works on basically all platforms, requires no additional tools, and is often extremely easy to implement. Library compatibility issues are also minimal, if you are careful.

Of course switching to MIT eliminates these issues, but can cause other issues with people not contributing back to the libraries.
How is that digital rights management? Sounds more like a limitation of how FF renders the screenshots (which is possibly in JS)
You're going to have to explain the reasoning here
Russia didn't defend Kursk because they didn't think Ukraine would be stupid enough to make that attack. That was a temporary PR win and a permanent strategic loss.

The results have been the elimination of Ukraine's best troops AND losing the ability to reinforce faltering lines which is why Russian advances have increased.

Maneuver warfare relies on secrecy to a large degree. You can hide strategic troop buildups from the Taliban because they don't have satellites, but not from a near peer. With current spotter drones and IR cameras, you can't really even rely on tactical secrecy.
> As a result, Germany’s industrial production is falling

The causality here seems debatable.

Cheap Chinese goods which take market share from German goods aren't just cheap because of cheap energy.
Maybe a little on the nose, but way better than I can do.
I prefer the walkthrough of the CAP theorem in “Designing Data Intensive Applications,” which says that the CAP “theorem” is an undefined and generally unhelpful concept in distributed systems. “Available” has no formal definition.

And it’s confusing that it’s three letters, because it’s not “choose two”. It’s not that a system is “partition tolerant,” it’s if there’s a network partition, you choose availability or consistency. And obviously you choose availability for the distributed systems you most commonly encounter.
Basically all of this is based on the scientific principle of “eh it just seems like it should be like that”, which I’m not a huge believer in. Like;

by the time children being born today are in their eighties, if they live that long, a drastically reduced world population will almost certainly be living in tiny villages

That is an incredibly specific and short time frame for resource collapse. Citation needed that we’ll “run out” of petrochemicals by then, assuming we can’t make new ones from biomass or recycling landfills. Eventually it does boil down to this directly;

Even with miraculous new batteries that run on plentiful chemicals11 the whole system — all of its roads, wires, fertilisers, switches, sealants, pipes, rails, processors, diodes, engines, turbines, cartons, and so on, and on, and on — requires resources which we do not have. It is nothing short of a belief in magic to assert otherwise.

The citation is to some vaguely sketchy — but real and credentialed - scholar’s website. I haven’t read all his papers, but based on a quick scan, I feel like a lot of them contradict “we’re all gonna die for sure no matter what” on a basic level. Big claims require big evidence… perhaps the linked video interview is convincing, but I sorta doubt it. I’m gonna go on believing in the scientific consensus as I see it, personally; we face long term challenges and omnipresent existential risks, but we are in no way “collapsing” beyond a hope of salvation.

Despite my disagreement with the premises, I must admit that they’re certainly a powerful writer! Two side notes that made me chuckle: 1. That coronavirus wasn’t “real”, and 2. That Greta Thunberg, the teenager, is bribing climate scientists.
that story checks out considering your actual favorite books all have dark, dystopian elements with a glim outlook on human nature in general.
It’s an encyclopedia entry. It’s continuously updated, like Wikipedia. But the bulk of the text would have been from 1991/1988.
I'm following the war pretty closely, and the documents basically added no real analysis compared to the open source intelligence community (Christo Grozev, Conflict Intelligence Team, Oryx). E.g. their analysis of Wagner group was inferior to the one published by investigative journalists.
We’ve got an open source pipeline as part of inference[1] that handles the nuances (multithreading, batching, syncing, reconnecting) of running multiple real time streams (pass in an array of RTSP urls) for CV models like YOLO: https://blog.roboflow.com/vision-models-multiple-streams/

Not serde, but newer version of rust, no?
Nope, checking GitHub, I can’t see any issues about either of those two things combined with blobs.

Also, the blobiness was never going to be a part of the public facing API - is it really the hypothetical serde’s fault NixOS breaks? I love NixOS, but the hacks they do to injevt determinism are obviously built on implementation details that most upstream projects need to keep opaque to continue improving. I’d much rather see upstream collaborate instead of have nix pees dictate that all current observed behaviour of any piece of software must be set in stone from the first reference in nixpkgs.
I think that's a critical piece that anyone opposing a more free and open mobile computing paradigm needs to recognize.

We point to PC gaming as a horrible state of affairs no one in the mobile world wants; but it really isn't. There were a half-dozen storefronts a few years ago. Today: Everyone is on Steam. There's EGS if you play Fortnite. I think Rockstar still has their own stuff, maybe? A couple blizzard games are still only on battle.net. Xbox has their app for Game Pass, but all their games are also on Steam. That's... it. Steam won. Its never not won.

It turns out that markets love centralization. Its an efficiency thing.

Mobile will be the same. Epic will have their store. A few others, maybe. You'll still download all the apps you care about from the App Store. Your user experience won't change (unless you want to give Fortnite a try).

What might change is: It gives a pressure point developers can leverage against Apple to negotiate better terms. Their services revenue will drop... maybe.

I say "maybe" because opening platforms and reducing prices also tends to grow the overall pie. See, there are companies like Netflix who refuse to support Apple IAP for subscriptions because the terms are unfavorable to their business. If those terms became more favorable: 10% of a million is more than 30% of zero. There are companies like Adobe and AutoDesk that refuse to build any meaningful software for the iOS and iPadOS platforms, because (in part) they would be willingly sacrificing the agency of their business to Tim Cook (for 70% of all sales; a penance). With storefront options: You might have to download the Adobe Storefront, but you'd, at least, have After Effects. No one reasonable would pick "not having After Effects" over being given the choice between using After Effects with Adobe's inevitably shit launcher/storefront and not.
That first link is great. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Russia: pls nerf F35, it's too OP.
Keep at it, consistently doing a bit every day, and you'll get there. I went through all the free beginner videos (at the time) before moving onto intermediate, then did the same before moving onto advanced, and only then was I really able to start watching stuff made for native speakers without feeling too lost. I'm not a CI purist though, I looked up words or grammar points occasionally, but I didn't actively try to study or memorize anything.
”Analysts noticed that CCTV cameras in Taiwan and South Korea were digitally talking to crucial parts of the Indian power grid – for no apparent reason. On closer investigation, the strange conversation was the deliberately indirect route by which Chinese spies were interacting with malware they had previously buried deep inside the Indian power grid.”
If the illuminating plane is not a stealth plane, then it'll get shot by the stealth plane long before it can detect the stealth plane.

If the illuminating plane is a stealth plane, then you've just traded on stealth plane for another. Even worse, there's a decent chance that your broadcasting plane gets shot down, the illumination fails, and the enemy stealth plane still gets away leaving you one plane less for no gains at all.
Not OP, but the reason may be:

US - FCC Ban The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) banned Dahua and Hikvision from new equipment authorizations in November 2022. Most products that use electricity require FCC equipment authorizations; otherwise, they are illegal to import, sell, market, or use, even for private individuals.

If you do it naively your video frames will buffer waiting to be consumed causing a memory leak and eventual crash (or quick crash if you’re running on a device with constrained resources).

You really need to have a thread consuming the frames and feeding them to a worker that can run on its own clock.
I can’t disagree, but such succinct description is robbing the story from its value.

For me it was coherent (and back then I knew Tolkien lore well). Stark contrast between believable realities gave me plenty of space for wandering thoughts.

E.g. both are work of fiction, so no ultimate proof of truth can be found, but what are the elements that make world real; who stumbled more in their story?
It isn't hacker news until I see a reference [1] below the text, an unneccessary italicized portion, and some word salad about how we've been doing it all wrong but suddenly this simple change will revolutionise things moving forwards.

It sounds to me like more than just a refactor, it now allows blocking based on ip earlier, before the request is actually made. Although, that isn't perfect because it doesn't know which ip address the browser will choose if there are multiple ips for a single domain.
