Good points. For the record I wasn't trying to say that github1s is "ruining free computing", I was trying to convey the opposite. More diversity is good.

If this had been published first, and github1s came along afterward to make it easier for users who don't set $EDITOR I'd be just as happy that it makes development more inclusive for all, not matter what the tools one prefers.

I'd love to see a mercurial version as well :)
I don't think it is a Scala problem but more of a leadership/organizational problem. If you look at Jane street, they do everything in OCaml which is an interesting choice to say the least, but their stuff works, evolve and they can demonstrate...
Because there is a song and dance involved in maintaining a career. Who you know, how you look, how you talk, and if you’re lucky, how good you are at a job. Dance dance dance, congratulate others, share your new job, upkeep your references, dance to every song, and then show up to work and do the same dance there. You don’t actually believe you’re getting paid to just do your job right?

Remember everyone, repeat after me, I am successful, I am successful, I am ...

I am successful, therefore I am. Dance your ass off.
I just got the paper version in the post yesterday and it's awesome! Keep up the good work, I'll definitely subscribe if ypu make that an option.
The only problem with string-only encryption, as used in Stanford's library, is that you have to base-encode your data first, costing extra time, and causing the data to grow in size (larger storage costs, more bandwidth usage). Using string-only keys is from a security perspective also a larger problem than people realize.
This is why neural networks were very popular for a while - they were sold to the public in a completely non mathematical way.
I'm sure it could be "dramatized" for TV. Say by burly men in dark glasses turning up to serve legal notices. There could even be paper cuts.
Mochi Media is a great company!! That's a bummer that you guys weren't able to get it. Congrats on the acquisition btw :)
And what's this talk about benefiting "society"? If someone invents a magic trick, he owns that intellectual property.

If not for the benefit of society, then please explain your theory of why society should tolerate or enforce intellectual property.
The author's reasoning is deeply flawed - when projecting future earnings and determining the present day value of the company, you can't just add up the earnings. As money in the future is worth less than an equivalent sum of money today, you have to discount the future earnings using some sensible growth rate. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_present_value
> They United Stats Government should do it. They have literally unlimited funds, and this approach would actually be the most consistent with our "capitalistic" economic model.

That's actually called Socialism, when the government buys up companies and starts to own the means of production.
Here you go. From Caixin, an independent chinese newspaper, https://www.caixinglobal.com/2020-03-04/lights-are-on-but-no...

Again, doesn't take a genius.
They aren't being told. Did you think they were?
Based on that reasoning, we shouldn't give any pharmaceuticals to coronavirus patients. Even simple fever relievers, like acetaminophen, or oral rehydration fluids should be prohibited because we just don't have enough data to know how they'll interact with COVID-19 specifically.
Part of that is having the hospital capacity for seasonal flu and accident victims. We're prepared for that. Coronavirus adding more cases will soon overwhelm hospitals in major US cities, at which point they will have to start triaging patients like they are in Italy.

Presumably if this became the new norm then we would up our hospital capacity to match and then re-adjust our life expectancy numbers as well.
> The numerous* stories that I have read recently about medical professionals writing themselves prescriptions for hydroxychloroquine

A doctor friend of mine showed me a Facebook group consisting entirely of prepper medical professionals trying to decide whether or not to buy guns (in Australia!) for self-defense.

Medical school tends to select for a personality type that is, shall we say, somewhat obsessive?

I assume that this has zero chance of passing but I wonder if the legislature realizes that these lame duck proposals -- like the varrious wealth tax proposals-- have a real and negative effect on the state.

[Not that I don't agree that many places would be better off with 4 day work weeks. But many wouldn't, and the prospect of paying people the same even when some people work in jobs where their productivity is very much directly in proportion to the time the work... is just pretty much nuts.]
I saw on HN that someone changed their address to CA for a day to cancel their NYT subscription. But ideally those sorts of loopholes won't be necessary if more states add the same requirement
Thanks for taking the time to reply - you have a great points.

> Honestly, as a 3D modeler, what is your value proposition for me to have my assets on your platform? Why should I choose your platform over a platform where i get tens or hundreds of dollars for a single sale, compared to a Spotify model, where i might or might not get few dollars a month.

You're right, the value proposition is not great for modelers. Probably one of the reasons why the site currently isn't a good idea.

> 3D modeling is a labour intensive job and the market is way smaller than music or movies, meaning its way harder to get an audience large enough for this kind of service. Even with a audience large enough, could you guarantee I would receive as much as from other services?

You're right, I would not be able to guarantee that. Modelers are still free to post any asset to other services.

> Also, at $5 a month pricepoint you’re primarily going to attract below average modelers. Such a low pricepoint means the creator is not going to get much, considering the processing fees & comission and sharing the revenue with other creators. However, as a consumer I like the idea. But as a creator I really don’t like it. If the subscription would be $50+, i would consider it.

This is really great feedback. You're right - the creators/modelers need to get paid more. This would mean charging more a month, like you mentioned. Thanks again for taking a look and giving some great advice.
They broke into the Capitol building. Smashed windows. They've attempted to break into the House and Senate chambers.
> If this really constitutes a "coup", it's the worst, weakest coup I've ever seen.

That's how incompetent Trump is. Can't even coup properly.
No. It said they were trackers operated by those companies.
Ironically, it's often when there's no mastery that you realize what mastery is. (I.e. when things just work, are shipped on time and are easy to maintain, there's not much fanfare about it)
The courts dissmissed the cases after there were signed affidavits. Those signed affidavits are still there, waiting for the formal due process, and the courts are more than welcome to take the cases and investigate them with subsequently prosecuting the lying side. That's what those who stormed the Capitol today have among their demands.
There aren't two realities, I would start there.
Uisual (https://uisual.com), a collection of free plain HTML/CSS (no JS) landing page templates for startups. I've been working on it since December 2020. So far the feedback is great. Uisual was featured on Speckyboy, Web Designer News, and more.

My goal with this project is to get a job. Whether it's freelance, part-time, full-time, or contract. That's why they're free. I need others to help me to spread the word faster.
There is a photo going around of a man carrying off a dais across the Rotunda. The British web site I saw it on made a joke about Antiques Roadshow.
Most people familiar with JetBrains (like software and system engineers) will likely read through the lines and simply ignore this article, given the good reputation of the company. The worrying part is that this type of article is destined for the less techy reader like the higher ups approving software purchases.

The lack of evidence feels like they got fingers pointed at them just for being... Russian?
I think the point here is not that the lawyer could refuse the 2FA token if he detects duress. You have to give up the login credentials if you're able. The point is that you're now able to inform your lawyer that you're in detention.

You can work out a protocol with your 3rd party (e.g. lawyer) ahead of time that requires you to state where you are, and there's all sorts of coding available to you for that. He'll give up the token regardless, but might be able to start action on your behalf if he detects that you're not where you should be.
Indeed indeed! ;) :D Thanks for the encouragement.
I get the same with emacs (gccemacs nativecomp) but it works just fine in vim and vscode.
Probably not directly, but it has that effect by proxy and the initial segregationist motivation is still in force. It's 2021 but the divides in wealth, living standards, outcomes, etc... still echo the racial divisions of the past. Hundreds of years of societal conditioning will take hundreds of years to fully revert.

The zoning laws also have a similar effect on those who are priced out by wealth & income, regardless of race, leading to rich enclaves & poor ghettos. These are harmful to society as a whole, which benefits from heterogeneity.
> I think many people take a certain comfort in the assumption that we basically have the universe and the nature of reality figured out.

People have that assumption? That's... a pretty terrible assumption, and even a cursory read of some pop-sci articles is enough to tell you there's a ton we don't know. I'm just not convinced that most people assume we know these things.
The series is very good, perhaps better than the first movie (and definitely better than the other movies, though those are still worth watching).
> When in Node.JS or Go a medium-sized service’s Docker image takes 5 to 10 mins to build and deploy,

I guess you build Go binary in building the docker image.
You should build Go binary then build the docker image instead (5 seconds duration).

One the other hand, even if you build Go binary in building the docker image, 5 to 10 mins duration is still not a typical build duration for most medium-sized Go projects. One minute is enough.
Interesting. I got COVID-19 in December 2020, and feared the outcome because I'm asthmatic and have a history of mild allergy and inflammation. It was bad, but I've had worse flus, so all in all it was a good outcome.

My doctor gave me a shotgun cocktail of prednisone (another glucocorticoid), Azitromicyn, Ivermectin, Ibuprofen and Aspirin. More likely I was one of the majority that don't develop grave symptoms, but maybe the Prednisone played a part, as Azitromicyn and Ivermectin are no longer recommended as treatment because their effect at normal doses is questionable.
Do you have a lot of experience with multiple EU countries?[1] Or are you just using “outsized influence” to extrapolate that non-English speaking countries can be neatly categorized as being a homogeneous contrast to English-speaking countries?

[1] The only anglophone EU country is Ireland.
If your ISP wanted to give you good service they could also add a few Netflix OCAs to their rack[1]. Opening up the last mile could allow the competition to use this technique to improve service while using Comcast's (or Verizon's...) network for all of the data.

I did something similar during my PhD. Maybe you want to have a look: http://se.inf.tu-dresden.de/pubs/papers/knauth2014dreamserve...

It was published at SYSTOR last year (2014).
You are being down voted because you are complaining about something which isn't relevant. Complaining about bugzillas UI not being pretty and clear from across the room really isn't relevant to the issue or bugzillas purpose whatsoever.
I'll check out PseudoTV when I get home. Thanks.

I have a long list of tools that do something similar and I've not come across that one before.
You can't really regulate an impossible solution though.

Unbundling has a clear model that works (or is at least workable), look at the US between 1996 and 2004, or most of Europe now.
<ipsin>: Thanks for your kind words! I've felt the urge to restart/resume the Politech mailing list a few times in the last few years but haven't been able to dedicate the time such an effort deserves. Also it works better if moderated by a practicing journalist, I think.

The short answer is I don't think there is such a source. EFF has good action alerts and blog posts (even if I may occasionally disagree with some of their legislative endorsements). EPIC and the ACLU are often more DC-centric, and Marc (who runs EPIC) is essentially an anti-cypherpunk in his views about the private sector.

Among advocacy groups, TechFreedom.org is a relatively new entrant with free-market, liberalize-crypto views. But Berin, who runs it, is a lawyer, not a technologist, and is spending a lot of time on topics like Net neutrality and telecom regulation nowadays.

If anyone is thinking of starting such a source of information with a cypherpunk-ish/politech-like focus on DC policy, I'd be happy to offer some advice, tips, and introductions.
Thomas: Would you agree that DNSSEC is a solution looking for a problem?
Hah, funny, as the original motivation for register-rich RISC was that compilers can be more diligent than humans (in other words "the computer has more fingers than a person does").

But different languages are appropriate for different problems and there is no shame in dropping down into assembly code for pathological cases like the lua example you cite. In the end a good programmer understands the semantics and execution case far better (i.e. at a higher level) than the computer is able to.

In fact this article is a good example of how you can provide intentionality to a modern compiler so that you don't have to drop into assembly and provide the semantics by extension.
I don't think that having two days between the contact and the fix is acceptable for something as crucial as reading anyone's e-mail. I wish they had locked down access while investigating the bug once they confirmed it (which should have taken minutes). Leaving such access open for any time after knowing about it is grossly irresponsible in my eyes.
seems to me a lot of people flaged the story (443 points, 1 day ago, on page 3 with a couple of stories with 200 points also 1 day ago) ... wondering why conspiracy theories ;)
The main thing I liked about war was getting to work with powerful tools and get immediate feedback on your actions. The US does a pretty good job of insulating the military from this in peacetime -- bureaucracy, extremely restrictive rules of engagement, etc. -- but as a contractor in a war zone, as well as for soldiers involved in actual combat operations (5% of those deployed?) it was pretty amazing.

It's pretty much the same high as working at a startup vs. a big company.
Wow. Thanks for looking.

> limited substrings of the input string as it refills its input buffer,

As far as I can tell, that copying helper function set to the read member of the FILE* never actually gets called in this path. I see no references to f->read() or anything that would call it. All of the access goes through shgetc and shunget, shlim, and shcnt, which directly reference the buf, with no copying. The called functions __intscan() and __floatscan() do the same. __toread() is called but just ensures it is readable, and possibly resets some pointers.

Even if it did, that pretty much does make it entirely free of this behavior, though not of added overhead. That operations structure stuffed into the file buffer doesn't scan the entire string, only copying an at most fixed amount more than asked for (stopping if the string terminates earlier than that). That leaves it linear, just with some unfortunate overhead.

I do find the exceedingly common choice of funneling all the scanf variants through fscanf to be weird. But I guess if they already have one structure for indirecting input, it's easy to overload that. (And somehow _not_ have a general "string as a FILE" facility, and building on top of that. (Posix 2008 does have fmemopen(), but it's unsuitable, as it is buffer with specified size (which would need to be calculated, as in the MS case), rather than not worried about until a NUL byte is reached.))
Coincidentally I just embarked on learning about the 6809 architecture. I became interested in the architecture after discovering a generation of synthesizers, such as Yamaha's DX line or Ensoniq's ESQ-1/SQ-80, in the mid 1980s were built around CPUs using it. I've been disassembling the freely available Operating System ROMs in an attempt to learn more about how these devices were programmed. The differences between the 6809 and modern architectures makes for some interesting learning!

You occasionally hear about faked birth certificates being used to get over age players or foreigners (Cubans) on a team. There is enough money at stake for these kids at the national level for a few people to try it. Cheating is almost minigame inside of baseball at this point.

I don’t know if requiring three forms of ID/residency is the right solution, but I at least understand the motivation. They are probably operating under the assumption that it’s harder to fake three government documents than it is to fake one. It’s definitely more time consuming and expensive, and that alone will deter some cheaters.
That might be true, if we assume the buyers are adults who are using their own phone and paying with their own money. I don't think there were many spending controls at the time.
It is a bit counter-intuitive, but the cultural shift you describe is a mirror image of Peterson's popularity, in the sense that both are the result of sloppy, black-and-white, and adversarial thinking and ideological repackaging.

If this cultural shift is a concern due to its effect on society and its norms, then Peterson would be a counter-productive solution, since this sort of person being considered an intellectual worth following is a step down from these very same norms. It's like putting out a house fire with a flamethrower. The problem is the breakdown in informed discourse.

The result is that the money and attention of people concerned about cultural shifts is then funneled into the pockets of people like Peterson or Shapiro or whomever, with some pretty unenviable results. You end up in a situation where people talk of rediscovering traditional norms and opposing them to new norms, without actually understanding what the traditional norms are or engaging with them beyond vague social-media ready descriptions. What could have been effective or at least thoughtful conservatism paradoxically turns into a post-modern parody of itself, with plenty of references to the aesthetic aspect (flags, slogans, freedom of speech etc.) without the substance that originally generated those symbols. And this substance and world lying outside of the Petersons and Shapiros starts to shrink because they monopolize the attention of people who would have otherwise engaged with deeper material and applied it in productive ways.
Annnnnnnd you've added gradients to the gradient free optimizer. Every shovel is a hammer if try hard enough.
Fantastic, thank you! I've registered and will post there for sure.
Yeah, like that! Very cool, although their OLED screen means it's probably not on all the time, which makes it less useful as a watch. For the concept to really work it has to be effortless to check at a glance, because if you're going to be fiddling with it you might as well just take your phone out of your pocket.
Actually he makes perfect sense to me, it is his slides that don't make perfect sense out of context of his overall presentation. He cares because he cares about making sense, about having his name associated with something that does not make sense.
Why not just use http://nic.io ? .io domains from there appear to be 60 EUR, or ~$100.
Compiling it yourself takes a lot more work than `brew install ssh-copy-id`.

Here's a pretty good expression of the main complaint I've heard about MacPorts:

> The system [homebrew] is much better than MacPorts, the idea is that for example, Mac OS X comes with python installed. Brew will try to use the default python installation instead of trying to make it's own in /usr/opt/whatever ... so, homebrew premise, is to respect the Mac OS X installed packages and use them to it's favor + respecting the Mac OS X structure ( don't re create a whole new structure like fink and mac ports )

- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/189912/what-package-manag...

An added bonus is that things tend to install way faster because it's not compiling all of this stuff that OS X came with.
True, but even if the right visual aids can help you, the wrong ones can make your presentation terrible, this is where I think this presentation also helps.
Your quotes are meaningless without context or even who spoke them.

"Manning is a national hero, who has shown us that we no longer can accept the illusion of rule of law."
Agreed that there's not enough context to say why screencapping happened, what happened to said screencaps, and how all of this turned into scared employees.

I currently perceive Google's note as if it were a press release; treat with appropriate scepticism. We'll have to see if more information comes to light.
Moores law also states that the development cost for the next generation of smaller devices will follow the same exponential curve. My guess would be that the solar market will have one or a few huge players only. The solar tech scene is still quite diverse though and it is hard to say if any single technology will "win", so in that sense maybe not. End ramble.
Any high availability system inherently aims for that, but "never" is a strong word. Sooner or later, you need to upgrade or replace physical hardware.
"The trigger for this event was a network configuration change. We will audit our change process and increase the automation to prevent this mistake from happening in the future."
I was going to do call/cc but fibers are cheaper. The implementation is very similar, but because fibers can only be resumed once from the last yield you don't need to copy the stack when yielding and resuming.

They also require the user to explicitly start a fiber. This means when you're not in a fiber you can use a faster stackless engine because you don't need to track the state of the current continuation.
Sadly I disagree about the unpaid internship (even though its something i would never do to anyone else) — having the right name on a resume can get you off to a good start.

The loops should be inverted. It should be for y, then for x, which accesses the memory in a linear fashion instead of in stride.
