Re: An Update From the EUC Division of Broadcom
To: Omnissa Hi, I wish to have nothing to do with your company or your new owners, and please sever all business relations, ESPECIALLY repeat billing arrangements, that we might have. If any appear on my credit card statement henceforth, I will dispute them, and report you to the state attorney general for fraud. I tried logging in to VMWare to check on any recurring charges, it sent me to…

A globalization of L-BFGS for nonconvex unconstrained optimization
We present a modified limited memory BFGS (L-BFGS) method that converges globally and linearly for nonconvex objective functions. Its distinguishing feature is that it turns into L-BFGS if its iterates cluster at a point near which the objective is strongly convex with Lipschitz gradients, thereby inheriting the outstanding effectiveness of the classical method. These strong convergence guarantees are enabled by a novel form of cautious updating, where it is decided anew in each iteration which…

I thought I'd do another update of what I've been reading lately. This time, rather than post about each book, I'll just call out the ones I liked the most.
"Harrow the Ninth" by Tamsyn Muir is the sequel to "Gideon the Ninth", and it's just as good if not better. The story and world-building is unique, and the storytelling uses an unreliable narrator technique in a way I've never seen done before. Muir is such a beautiful and creative writer.…

Gotta love how the only “solutions” involve cargo-culting config for a 3rd-party extension or changing a setting in a Google account, which of course is complete insanity. If any account setting has any effect on your browsing, you are effectively logged into that account whether Google admits it or not. https://

2024: Regulações bem pensadas funcionam. Na semana de lançamento do #DMA pelos europeus, Apple é obrigada a "cair na real":
"The EU’s DMA officially went into effect on Wednesday, allowing third-party app stores and alternative payment options on iOS. You can continue to use third-party apps while outside the EU, but don’t expect to be able to update them if you’re traveling for too …

Epic Games just got unbanned by Apple — again
After terminating Epic’s iOS developer license last week, Apple has reinstated it following “a swift inquiry” from the European Commission.

People kept asking me to change usernames and deactivate old accounts on my website, so tomorrow I'm releasing an update that will finally let them do it themselves. I will finally be able to forget about this :neofox_sob:

Because people can't click a link and read it that way apparently, I'll post images from the Fediverse wiki page here that supports my claim that AP is the Fediverse. If anyone has anything else to say that isn't covered in these images, I'm willilng to entertain it.
But don't come into my replies saying "AP isn't the only protocol that's a part of the Fediverse" because I'm literally covering that right here, right now.
Sorry, I'm an…
