Encryption is mandated for data at rest and data in transit. There is a provision for encryption of data in use when homomorphic encryption becomes feasible, but the loophole referenced in the title is that it is not required now.
It's simple, if you have the supply chains already you have more to gain from automation. And as we know from TPS it's easier to automate processes we know how to master manually first.
You're right, it's been a while since I dabbled in SIMD.
I'm building a simple app to let friends and loved ones know how you're doing. I know many people in some of the current troubled regions of the world, and whenever a particular event happens it's really nerve-wracking for those of us not there, wondering if our loved ones are okay.

WhatsApp and messenger groups don't work for this kind of thing because 1) people are often members of many different groups that they would have to constantly notify if they were "okay" during a particular event and 2) many troubles in the world are ongoing, and constantly spamming a message group saying "I'm still okay" doesn't work.

My app just lets people hit a single button to tell any interested friends / family that they are safe. They can do this as many times as they like.

Normally I would be worried about premature optimization, what I've been spending extra time making the tech stack initially very performant. It's working for my family but once I deploy to the world I want it to be solid and stable, or it loses a lot of its value.
Are you using existing libraries for your angular i18n?
I don’t really care for the culture much, the people seem kind of annoying but is this actually a huge issue?
The CEO of Southwest wanted that. They buy only one kind of airplane, B-737 variants. This simplifies repair, parts, training, and staffing. Hence the 737-MAX, and the problems of the 737-MAX.
>I would argue that a system like the Japanese Hiragana or Katakana are a better system: they are each 56 letters that directly correspond to syllables.

No, they're really not. First, they have 46 characters (each), not 56, though there are another 36 combination characters like ちゃ. Regardless, the problem here is that number comes from the total number of allowed sounds in the entire language. Japanese has an extremely small number of total possible sounds in the language compared to most other languages, particular western ones, and almost all syllables are of the form consonant+vowel: there's basically no way to write, for instance, a word ending in a hard "t" sound, so when Japanese adopts such words, it adds a vowel ending like "tu", and does this for every syllable with a hard consonant without a following vowel. Because of this, loanwords can be really hard to recognize even if you're a speaker of the language that word was adopted from (usually English these days), because the sounds don't map over very well.

And because there's so few total possible syllables, there's a huge number of homophones. The main reason kanji is still around is because it resolves ambiguity and makes it much, much easier to read Japanese text: trying to read text that's all in hiragana (or katakana) is cumbersome, even if spaces are added (Japanese text doesn't normally have spaces).
Thanks I’m not sure what happened but it seems to be fixed…
If you're doing ultra long distances, you've got the possibility of literally everything breaking. You'd be riding more in the single trip than most cyclists ride in a year.

If the derailleur snaps off while you are 100km from anything, you're fucked unless you happened to pack a spare one and all the tools required to swap it.
Environmental taxation is either 'artificial' or 'fair' depending on where you live in Europe. These taxes will simply further the divide that already exists in the EU.

Come on, my good man: everybody really does it. Success in the 21st century needs you to account for the fact that it's a matter of if, not when your IP leaks to competitors.

Didn't Apple have to disable the oximeter on their smart watches because they copied Massimo? Or, what about the episode where Google sued Waymo cofounder Levandowski for stealing & transferring IP to Uber? Meanwhile, Uber had a thriving department devoted to corporate espionage?

Or Operation Paperclip that shipped the entire German propulsion hivemind to the US? Or CryptoAG that sold compromised comms. to essentially all the world?

Even if America closes off its markets to foreign firms found guilty of copying American IP, they'll simply lose the global market, while their market dominance shrinks further.
As someone both born and raised in Long Island and raised on lots of Japanese media, it seemed perfectly normal to see lots of people taking the subway. Granted, Long Island is still car dependent suburbia, but it at least made sense to me that if you were going into "the city", you took LIRR and the subway. So Japanese media depicting public transit or walking mentally registered in the same headspace as Manhattan.

I moved out of NY almost a decade ago, but car-centric America still feels more foreign to me than Tokyo does. On LI, if my family had to drive off the island, we treated it like Europeans treat driving to a foreign country. In SLC, it's entirely common for people to spend 10+ hours on the road as if it were nothing. Hell, I've done it myself. Still feels weird.

Cool! But not exactly plug n play at this point:

> If you are trying to launch a random app, chances are that we are missing implementations for some stuff that it needs, and we also don't have (sufficiently real looking) stubs for the stuff it says it needs but doesn't really.
The workflow is basically to see where it fails (usually a Class or Method was not found) and to create stubs which sufficiently satisfy the app so that it continues trying to launch.
Once the app launches, you may find that some functionality (UI elements, ...) is missing. To enable such functionality, you need to convert the relevant stubs to actual implementation. You can look at simple widgets (e.g. TextView, or ImageView) to see how to implement a widget such that it shows up as a Gtk Widget.

Wait; isn't Android a layer to run Android apps on Linux?

See, this is where it's useful to use terms like GNU/Linux for reasons other than free software advocacy.

Android apps run on a Linux kernel, but not on a GNU/Linux distribution.
Shouldn't we be more concerned about big companies using fossil fuels to power their factories in China and other third-world nations, which pollute with CO2 and contribute to climate change, rather than some hacker with a MacBook and Starlink adapter traveling the world?

Advertisement is the engine of free market. The technological progress made possible with free market and advertisement as its integral part is evidence supporting my argument—yes, the very device you are reading this on is the evidence.

You have not provided a viable argument so far. I can’t say you failed to provide supporting evidence, because you have not even made a claim. Inventing a meaningless term like “information paradigm” and implying it has somehow changed is not one.

You either lack a point to make, or are struggling to express one.

This article makes repeated references to RTS's while forgetting to mention the absolute most important caveat. RTS's are not law. They're selectively delegated to in the law, but they are themselves not enforcable. What that means in practice is that ANY reference to an RTS MUST include an analysis of if the recomendation is mandated by the actual law (in this case DORA).

This is absolutely critical to understand for anyone dealing with these laws. The RTS's are allowed, and expected, to include provisions that are not enforcable because they fall outside the mandate delegated from the sponsoring law.
In my experience taking both, Greyhounds are significantly faster and far less comfortable. Maybe it's different in other places in the country, but this was my experience in coastal California:

Greyhound buses run more-or-less on time. The routes are direct, they're predictable, and they will take you where you want to go. They also don't have a dining car, spacious bathrooms, room to walk around and stretch your legs, etc. If somebody has diarrhea, everybody on that bus is going to know it and smell it.

Amtrak is more comfortable in every way. It's also usually late, and subject to delays because of low rail priority. You can't really count on it for anything other than "it'll leave eventually" and "it'll get there eventually". While on the train, it's really quite pleasant - as long as you don't care about arriving when the schedule said you would.
On the train trip I took, it was because of an unruly passenger.

It turned a 9-hour trip into a 15-hour trip.
I understand what I demand has been an impossible feat thus far. Which is precisely why we can't accept it as a fact.

> ... incurious attitude and really should be a hard line on [HN]

Weak. You can't answer the question. Just like nobody can tell me how speciation-by-random-mutation is supposedly a valid, falsifiable hypothesis.

But the intellectual that you are , you don't say "hmm interesting points you raise there", but rather demand censoring the critic.

Weak way to intellectually throw in the towel.

Reg. ring species: Wikipedia tells you why they don't qualify:

> Many examples have been documented in nature. Debate exists concerning much of the research, with some authors citing evidence against their existence entirely.
Also the article just fucking goes on before getting to that point.

Although I suppose if the author didn’t attempt to prove a negative there’d be no reason for the blog post to exist.

This is completely backwards and comically wrong. Japanese text looks very little like it did even 150 years ago; the characters have changed completely, and the language was highly standardized during the Meiji era. Try taking a native Japanese speaker to a museum with old Japanese texts or handwriting and see if they can read any of it; they generally can't understand much of it at all.

Modern Korean people can't even read stuff older than a century or so because the language changed from using Chinese characters to the home-grown Hangul character set, and that was only completed a few decades ago.

By contrast, English speakers can read Shakespeare just fine mostly, with a little difficulty understanding some words that are no longer used.
Sweet, will have to play around with this. It's incredible to watch the people who know how to actually play.

> Chinese characters are not some kind of alphabet. It's like an intermediate language (IL) of mind.

I realized this in Taiwan when I started being able to recognize characters, know what it means in English, and have absolutely no idea what the word is in Mandarin. The written language is almost orthogonal to the spoken one.
If you have a Spirit Airlines route near you, flying will actually be cheaper than a bus.

For the route I take it's around $30 for the plane, and $70 for the bus. The bus takes around 8 hours, the plane takes around an hour and a half but then you have to factor in extra time at the terminal.
The problem is that if you only have a raw SQL database, adding these layers is a lot of work. And there’s almost zero open-source concerns about that.

Apart from that, yep, appending a change/fix/action-describing document with a set of triggers/modules which post its essence into pre-designed caches is how you do it.
Waydroid does not require linux-zen. It requires a kernel with the binder kernel modules. They can be managed with dkms on a normal kernel.
Or you can go all out, get 4 people and drive in shifts (rotating a driver and a watchguard) non-stop for next to nothing.
When they are sure the design is sound enough not to do a Python 2/Python 3.

If it was easy it would be done by now.

There are plenty of long time efforts on other language ecosystem that have also taken decades and still not fully done, e.g. C++ modules, contracts, reflection,...

If you really need value type like objects today, it is possible in Panama, even without language syntax for them.

My point was addressing "tsinghua students..." and "Harvard students..." unless they were literary scholars or grammarians their wield of the language may be at the level of "educated" but still plenty fallible. I'm sure those of us who did any post grad would have met people who were smart in a given axis and otherwise very ordinary along the other axes.
I'm still working on https://www.guidejar.com

It helps SaaS teams create interactive product demos and SOPs quickly. It’s been super useful for user onboarding, making it easier for new users to get started without a bunch of back-and-forth.

The goal is to minimize support tickets and ensure users actually adopt new features with less friction.
Pretty cool, but tbh per the author/equipment list this paper is basically an advertisement.

I've noticed that my son spends way too much time on YouTube or playing Minecraft and one of the few offline activities he enjoys doing on his own is coloring. And since he comes to me every time he wants a new coloring book and we spend about 10 minutes together searching for each picture, I made a website with a collection of coloring books for him. The site is very simple, but to be honest, I haven't had so much fun with the process of creation for a long time.

Sounds like Buffalo buffalo, but it's more like someone being clever than pointing out an actual problem with the language.
In the UK “real name” and “legal name” are just aliases for “your name” which is the identity you’re known by on documents issued by the government and its Home Office, ie your National Insurance record or your UK Passport. Your aliases are not your name unless and until you change that name by deed poll or through marriage / divorce. Your aliases, no matter how well recognized they may be, are not your name.

The idiot whose name is Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon is also known by the alias Tommy Robinson, amongst others. The aliases exist to protect the identity from the legal and moral consequences of the idiot’s speech. While I’m not sure there is value in always reminding every audience of the real identity every alias refers to, in this case he’s got a history of intentional name obfuscation.
I'm still working on Habitat. It's a self-hosted social platform for local communities. The plan is for it to be federated, but that's a while off yet. I want it to be easily installable for those who want to host using docker, and for those who want to host on an EC2 instance or something, because online services for docker hosting are quite expensive, so I've been working recently on ansible setup, and it's proving quite difficult, so if anyone with the experience fancies helping out, I'd be more than happy to receive contributions.

Your heart is in the right place, but you negate all of that with either incorrect reasoning, or unnecessary hyperbole.

First, you can make your point without saying "turning your house into a brothel". You and I both know, you said that to elicit an emotion reaction. It is an appeal to moral values, when you could have much rather said - "profit maximizing at all costs is bad, or not well understood".

Second - "publically funded assets to make tangible profits". This is incorrect. Governments do all sorts of things so that private individuals / companies can make profit. For instance, they build roads and bridges and highways to enable commerce. They give our licenses to establish companies. They put up stock exchanges so that shareholders can speculate and make money.

By doing both of these, you have diluted the core of your argument which is "outdoor advertising is visual pollution" and has some "safety concerns".
That is indeed a fun fact!

I dislike the way flatpak is effectively a second distro on top of whatever else I'm running; it eats a rather lot of additional disk space (and network bandwidth), requires that I run updates for it in addition to everything else, and I'm not sold on its security patching story (last I looked, it strongly favored everyone effectively vendoring most dependencies and I don't trust them to keep up with patches like my actual distro).

To be fair, there's also a list of reasons I do like it, just... both pros and cons.

> It was tiring getting bug reports that were only reproducible on certain drivers and setups

I'll give you userspace, but drivers should be like the one thing that flatpak doesn't help with? It's the same kernel, not a VM.

Are you using a cloud service or trying to host your own server?

If you're on AWS, for example, there's built-in versioning for S3 buckets: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/versio.... GCP and Azure have similar versioning systems for their storage.

To save disk space, the term you probably want is "data deduplication" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_deduplication), and there are various algorithms, filesystems, etc. that can help with that. However, it's somewhat slow and risky, because you have to recombine a final file from fragments spread across different versions. And if a fragment gets corrupted, it could affect not just one version but several or even all.

Disk space is generally cheap these days, and it might not be worth sacrificing performance and integrity just to save a few cents per user.

Can you just give them a disk space limit and charge them for additional space if they need it?
