While many seem to immediately yell out that the PRC did it, conversely a hacker could just intend to make it seem like PRC was responsible by diverting the attention away from themselves and there to... I simply just don't feel like PRC would be as stupid as to so openly DDoS a target, it doesn't take much to be a bit more elaborate than that.

People care about where they sit in their local monkey pile, not global. That is, they care about their position relative to their neighbor. If they feel their prospects for the future are good and they are doing as well or better than their neighbor, they are generally happy.

John Q. public could care less about Jeff Bezos unless they feel he is part of the 'theft' group listed in my original comment. People like winners that win fairly.

I doubt Feynman would have cared either. He was playing a different game.

Vanguard doesn’t try to call tops. If they sell shares it would be to lock in profit and diversify their EV investment.
I guess (?) that they protect low level civil servants from the whims of politicians and political administrative changes.
Pennsylvania (at least at the pharmacies) doesn't verify anything. It's all self certification. You say that you qualify for 1A to make the appointment, and they don't ask you anything when you show up. But Pennsylvania's criteria for 1A is pretty broad, potentially representing 40-60% of the population. So tons of people qualify, but appointments are really hard to come by.
It does seem to me that this has been done ass-backwards. That is - first mask mandates (and in many countries, too), then the research that supports the idea that they do anything. Or, in this case, "researchers propose".
A (big?) part of Databricks' success is the complicated mess that Spark is to run.
Efficiency is how much overhead you have. RAID 10 has 50% efficiency (50% of your storage is used for data), RAID 6 has N/N+2 efficiency. Since RAID 10 means using 4 drives, RAID 10 is never more efficient than RAID 6 for the same number of drives.

The three main things we can optimize for are storage efficiency, I/O performance, and data durability. For most situations, RAID 6 is not Pareto-optimal. In other words, you can come up with solutions that have better storage efficiency, better I/O performance, or better data durability, without sacrificing anything.

The only reason you’d use RAID 6 is because it’s easy to use. It’s measurably worse on any other axis. Combine this with various low-quality RAID implementations and RAID is even worse. Software RAID in the Linux kernel is fairly robust but there are many low-quality hardware RAID implementations.
I think people don't really realize how little actual computing has changed. From the inception of programmable computers that only nation states and huge companies could afford through the mid to late 1980s, computing changed significantly, in all of size, affordability, capacity and actual functionality.

What happened in the mid to late 1980s? Relatively affordable computing became available which fit a lowest common denominator which still exists today:

* CPU
* MMU
* access to mass storage
* access to communications

The Macintosh II came out in 1987 and Amiga 2500 in 1988. You then had a true and proper 32 bit computer which could run a real Unix or Unix-like OS. Everything modern outside of microcontrollers matches this lowest common denominator.

The same is true of 80486 machines (80386 is mostly the same, but modern toolchains now require certain atomic instructions which the 80386 doesn't have).

What's amazing is that you can run a real OS on them NOW. You can run NetBSD on them and run tens of thousands of open source software packages NOW.

These are 33 years old. We're one-third of a way to 100 years.

Pretty sure the mob wasn't armed; you can't go around armed in DC. The property damage was minimal, especially compared to the BLM riots of last summer; did you post vociferously about how misinformation started those?
I’m really sad about this. It feels like when Google Inbox shut down. Like yeah, some other services will have similar features, but not as well-done. That’s gotten a lot of praise already, but what really made Simple special for me was the language and design they use, it was so so good. I’m so thankful that it existed, it really helped me learn to manage my money.
>if you invest the time and effort to maintain them

One of the problems, touched on by the article, is that parts stop being made. I wonder if you could build a working IBM PC clone today.

Military systems are sometimes upgraded without changes in functionality simply because the old parts aren't made any longer.
Courts have very specific rules about what constitutes legally admissible evidence. The plaintiff may cry "We have evidence!", but that doesn't mean they have legally admissible evidence. Before the judge will bother to hear the evidence, it has to clear that bar.

IIRC, there was an election case in Pennsylvania that made it up to the Federal appeals court. There it was dismissed for lack of evidence. (The opinion was written by a judge appointed by Trump.) You can think of that as "procedural grounds" and "not hearing the evidence", I suppose, but to me it looks like examining the evidence and finding it lacking at the most basic level.
Thanks for the number. Are you willing to add how many hours you're putting in?
would love any feedback on the idea... thanks!
While certainly possible, I see two caveats here:

a) The ‘worthy project’ would have to license their product under GPL, too, which has the obvious effect that the whole thing is properly open-sourced again and everybody can slap ads on their stuff.

b) A license forbidding the modification to add advertisements is certainly not DFSG-free, and while this is likely of less concern in the Android ecosystem, I tend to measure the open-sourcness of a programme by its possible inclusion in Debian.
Exactly. Electricity should be something that just exists, as an ambiance around you. That you pay a predictable, modest monthly bill, and can than focus on other things. Who needs the drama of free markets there?

Also applies to net neutrality and health-care btw.
Yes, by 2-3 years, as its first release was in 2012, and Arrow was still a concept around 2013 (you can see what Wes was talking about during the talks he gave then).
I use NextDNS [1] and I’m very happy with it so far. It works on the DNS level. So far for our entire home we’ve never gone above the free level once, but I’m happy to pay as soon as we do.

Washington times and examiner got a fairly positive treatment as well.
Can you share some insight about your project? React and redux didn’t happened for no reason. However I think they are too heavy and there are ways to solve same problems with basic tools. Your case may shed some light on to how this can be achieved without react/redox overhead.

Work environment matters more than pay, and the pay presumably was very good. Imagine being down the hall from the people who literally started indie game development, or demo-scene royalty.
Premature optimization is extremely subjective. You can’t actually make any decisions based on it because the data you need to know if it’s premature is in the future.

Conversely we know you can’t make an unscalable design scalable after the fact. You may be able to do micro optimizations of hotspots or fix the egregiously bad parts but you’ve painted yourself into a corner.

The good news is that most scalable architectures are simpler and better in most other facets of the design so it’s largely a false dichotomy.

Thanks OP for mentioning these.
A government agency can still order them to hand over all data they have, they are still a single point of failure from a privacy point of view.
No, only counterfeits.
Still, they do exist now. And again, if an exchange only offers USDT as on-ramp that should be a massive signal against its trustworthiness.
This isn't exactly a mystery. Google is doing this. Several of the pieces are already in place.

If you log into a Google account in Chrome, you log into Chrome itself with that Google account. Then Google tools can use your account as an identity signal. This is already available as a feature in Google Ads and Google Analytics. The name of the feature is "Google Signals" - they've posted documentation on how it works and what it does.

This identity signal works cross-domain and cross-device. Google is working to kill off other identity signals with those capabilities that would be available to competitors, such as third-party cookies. (This is also why I believe them when they say they're actively working against browser fingerprinting.)
My understanding (I have not tried to run gemini for more than a few thousand steps) is that the tape is not replicated, but is bounced over to the replicated copy of the ship. Best explanation I've seen:

"The program of Gemini is like DNA, and the replicators are proteins. The original Gemini program is only capable of replicating one protein: the replicator itself."
I would agree with this post, for the most part, if not for the fact that many mass-media "professional" journalists fail to meet the criteria outlined here.
It's a link. It's no different from being in the default set of bookmarks. If that's "pre-packaging," anyone who distributes a link to the NYTimes with paid software is guilty of the same thing.

Actually, I just realized... for the effect of what they're claiming (pixels smaller than you can see), this is a perfect comparison. Blocks to none. Sure, they're achieving it by bending the rules, but I got the impression that 300dpi played second fiddle to "your eye is unable to distinguish individual pixels."[1]

edit: their side-by-side comparison shows the correct number of pixels between the two.
Planet Earth is the canonical example where the BD is instantly differentiable from the DVD.
The benefit here is the git integration. I'd also assume that the control panel is going to be thousands of times easier to use and more efficient than Cpanel/Fantastico (which is pretty gross in my opinion)

I also dropped my email address in out of interest, but I agree this is definitely something that isn't needed for PHP. The web that we have right now was built for PHP. 99.9999% of hosts support it out of the box, and offer one click installs. If you're running your own app, it's just as easy to get that running with PHP.

What we really need is a Heroku for PYTHON! And Google App Engine is NOT the answer.
It is pretty rad. I had to swap out my Nexus One a while back and upon logging in to my new device all my contacts, applications and even wallpapers were downloaded automatically. There were a few hiccups like missing custom ringtones but overall the syncing works as advertised.
I am completely behind the spirit of this idea, but I wish they would openly address the cost of running PCR reactions which take enzymes, nucleotides, specific phosphate buffers in or to complete. All of these things cost as do the methods to analyze your final PCR products.
I assume this is all covered under their mentioning 'kits', but these accessory components can rapidly become more expensive than the instrument itself.
> In reality the 960x640 display was necessitated by the very limited adaptability of iPhone applications to varying screen densities. They couldn't just pixel double if they went to 800x480, for instance, but their hand was pretty much forced to double each axis.
> It's bad in that its covering a mistake. The iPhone SDK should have had density-independent pixels from the outset -- geez we've known about this problem for years -- but it didn't. It was remarkably shortsighted, and still they merely duct tape it.

Clearly shows you know nuts about the iPhone SDK.
“Rehabilitation” isn’t the opposite of “punishment”. In fact punishment is part of the process of rehabilitation.

If, as you say, rehabilitation is impossible, punishment would be illegitimate. Because we don’t harm people just to satisfy our thirst for revenge.
exactly. I find it problematic that they seem to think calling someone names is completely impermissible but citing a white supremacist forum's guidelines is not.
The comment by 'victorantos' here is useful. But he seems to be hellbanned. Please turn on showdead in your prefs so that you can see his comment.
I would guess the problem is that most sites are going to serve up a 404 in this situation, and handling 404s is a bit trickier, since they might be transient (like a proxy gets in the way, or the hosting service has temporary issues). So they just don't handle it, since polling a server and getting a 404 is going to work well enough for most use cases. Maybe put a little exclamation point next to the calendar or something, but still poll it.

And then they handle a 410 the same as a 404, even though a 410 has very little chance of being transient. It's just rare enough that they don't even realize they don't support it properly.

Quote: "I think languages like Ruby and JavaScript will actually WANE in the far future as new languages come along".

Correction: if it compiles everywhere ... it's not waning. C, C++, and JavaScript are with us for a long time. But, you're right about Ruby. :-)
Is there a good high level post any where about the architecture of servo (particularly compared to gecko)? All I ever hear is "parallel-er" with out any detail about which bits can/can't/aren't-but-could-be or anything.
I could not find any mention of a free license which makes a non-alternative in my opinion.
I guess we are talking about very different things. I am talking about opportunities in sports, not about the state of the sports industry.

The men's basketball medal counts just the same as the women's in the Olympics. They both had to train and practice the same to get to that point. That's all I care when I think about opportunities.
I actually liked the "kick-through license" better, but thanks.
1. When in doubt, get a testing kit from dancesafe.org and test a sample. This has saved me on a few separate occasions, as 2-C's get passed around as a cheap substitute.

2-4. The past and present purveyors of L treat the substance as sacred. Even though the laboratory synthesis of LSD is rather difficult, it's still rarely sold and usually gifted to fortunate or lost individuals.

No, helmets aren't killing cyclists, car drivers are.

In the 1980's the New Zealand government removed tariffs on imported cars leading to a massive growth in car ownership.

More cars leads to more driving and less cycling. Then, with more cars on the road, cycling becomes more dangerous.

This trend just happened to coincide with the change in helmet law.
Any chance to repeal this law?
Bad analogy.

If someone is making an argument from bad faith, that's intentional and it's a waste of time to correct them or engage them at all.

All the "fact checking" links that are displayed now when you post about controversial subjects on social media platforms do very little to change minds and only reinforce the idea that there's some global narrative that's controlled by a cabal. They merely only serve to make people who already agree with the positions that are being linked to as fact checks better about spending time online.
In theory there wouldn't be "one company" anywhere other than the wires. If you have a choice between ISP A who is deliberately congesting Netflix, ISP B who receives Netflix over uncongested transit, ISP C who was uncongested extortionate peering with Netflix, or ISP D who has uncongested free peering with Netflix then you just choose whichever ISP provides the price and performance that you prefer. And if all the customers choose ISP D, maybe the other ISPs will change their policies to try to win customers.

Unfortunately there are other problems (like "your DSL being down is not our fault") with unbundling.
Unbundling requires sharing of last mile infrastructure to allow for competition in the middle mile. Last mile wiring has huge barriers to entry, middle mile wiring barriers are significantly lower.
Display technology usually increases in cost exponentially with screen size.
"Armed with the old Russian charts, the United States Geological Survey began a series of aerial surveys of Afghanistan’s mineral resources in 2006, using advanced gravity and magnetic measuring equipment attached to an old Navy Orion P-3 aircraft that flew over about 70 percent of the country."

Can anyone in the know describe how this works? It sounds interesting.
Seriously - the first thing I thought of was InfoWars getting a hold of this and saying:

"The US planned 9/11 in order to invade Afghanistan to get at it's vast mineral resources - especially lithium and copper to power the future of energy - just like oil in the Middle East!!" - Alex Jones in Parody

I find inline Java ternaries often make the code easier to read overall than a whole if-else block, for two reasons:

1. The code is shorter, so there's less to read in the first place.

2. The value returned is being used right where it's needed, so you don't have to carry it so far in your head.

I certainly don't use them all the time though, just for short/simple expressions.
I'm probably going to loose the few points I have left, but hey...

If you have access to a Windows machine my two cents says get a copy of SQL Server Express. In addition to that you will want a copy of the AdventureWorks database and the SQL Server Books Online.

SQL Server Express is a solid and free (as in beer) database engine. There are processor and file size limitations, but other than that it is pretty much the same as every other version they sell.

The Books Online (available online or as an installable download) has tutorial style information on every level of the system; database engine, reporting services etc.

The AdventureWorks database is a sample database that is used in the BOL and just about every other SQL Server tutorial I have seen. It is quite extensive and will save you from having to create your own data.

I'm sure somebody here will try and pick this apart, but this is how I learned. If it means anything, I have been employed as a Databse Analyst for the past four years.

They also offer "SQL Server 2008 R2 Update for Developers Training Kit", but I have not tried it. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=FFF...

For Julia there are PyCall and RCall, so the ecosystem is less of an issue than with other languages. Also, its ecosystem has been growing quickly over the last 2 years or so.

The same thing has been happening across the country. This is basically states failing to create a proper portal that can provide a vaccine-provider a list of the next n prioritized people in the city, and then blaming the doctors when they don't have arms to inject.

This is a failure of management from the very top, and people lower down getting the blame.

It is simply insane to me that most (all?) states haven't used the past six months to build proper portals that can do this. This doesn't even need to be some complex medical-records-transfer monstrosity -- allow people to put in their own information (or the information on non-tech-savvy relatives or neighbors), and verify them at the point of injection.

Here in Massachusetts, an extremely tech-savvy state, run by a health insurance exec, there is absolutely no centralized way to register yourself, and no way to put yourself on any kind of list at all, besides calling up individual vaccination sites once you become eligible. And there is no centralized list of what vaccination sites have openings (though a private citizen was able to make one via web scraping).
It could introduce corruption otherwise too, selling doses that are about to expire to the highest bidder. Which then could introduce incentive to let more doses "expire". I agree that in this case it seems stupid, but the rule is there for a reason.
I have a Makefile for a Rust project which binds the local repository to a Docker volume, builds it in the container using muslrust, and then does a chown to change the target directory back from root ownership to my own user.

All I had to do was 's/docker/podman/g' and remove the chown hack and it works fine: https://github.com/sevagh/pq/commit/6acf6d05a094ac2959567a9a...

It understands Dockerfiles and can pull images from Dockerhub.
I have had a similar experience, I got a Mac in 2013, switched back to Linux in 2017. There is one thing I miss - the emacs-keybindings in the system text input widget, that one was awesome. But otherwise, I feel much more at home on Linux with Mate.
