Indeed, and this is so much an industry standard practice that it was particularly significant when Apple open sourced Swift in Dec 2015, they didn't just do a tarball dump or promise that development would be in the open going forward, they actually opened up the whole development history right back to the start of the project in 2010: https://github.com/apple/swift/commit/afc81c1855bf711315b8e5...
They don't have to store anything to make a good use of that data.
I find this disingenuous. This is his latest position on the matter of succession[1]:

"Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th"

Why does Twitter want to prevent him from making such a statement on his Twitter account? Would that not be calming the situation, if anything?

EDIT: I misread Twitch for Twitter. Alternatively, I'm prescient and this was posted in the wrong thread.
I"m not sure where you're getting the idea that Jack disagrees with most or even many of Trump's policies.

edit to clarify in response to parent's edit (lol):

I don't doubt Twitter enjoyed being the primary platform for our extremely online president. I was getting at the "political opponents" thing. I feel there's a tendency where people like Jack and Zuckerburg get categorized as "not on the right politically", because they work in tech and live in California I guess. I disagree with that characterization, and my main reason is how they've allowed their platforms to be used.

For a very long time now, I've personally seen Twitter being used to amplify regressive, right-wing views while quashing (via suspension or permanent suspension) leftist voices that challenge them. The best way I can describe it succinctly would be a pervasive double-standard when applying their rules. So I, personally, specifically do not believe that Jack or Twitter leadership have aligned themselves politically against the right.
The justification they give is ridiculous.
You say this like its the first time Americans have had to learn to live with having lost a federal election. Half the country is disappointed every four years. Starting to make concessions to terrorists because they got really upset after being lied to repeatedly makes no sense.
The alternative, which is to prevent the spread of "bad arguments" is dystopian

I don't think the term "unamerican" should be used seriously. It has no strict definition and is often used to encourage an "Us vs Them" mentality and brings to mind the "no true Scotsman" fallacy.

I believe tribalism is a vestigial trait most harmful to modern humanity and it should be discouraged whenever possible. We have changed our environment faster than evolution can keep up, so we are going to have to use our conscious minds to compensate if we are to stand a chance at long-term survival. This needn't be limited to genetic modification. Society can be modified, and it starts with one mind.
> It's a matter of law that they answer to the legislature, this isn't an "assumption."

I could have expressed myself better there - I was distinguishing between them being answerable to the legislature (de jure) in the logical, org chat way, and them "answering" to a mercurial president they ideologically agree with (de facto), in the here and now.
This has been an embarrassing incident to those in power because it made them look weak. But calling a populist movement with millions of supporters, terrorists is very short sighted. It will only accelerate the fire.

The left soon will control all three branches of government, after an election that many people question, has been simultaneously advocating for censorship of its political adversaries, more draconian civil rights removals under the guise of COVID. The inevitably resulting destruction of more people's livelihoods will create more desperate people. I hope you realize where this is all going. Because its obvious more people will be revolting if this continues, and will organize to resist. Censorship and oppression is not the answer. Letting people voice their grievances, is the last peaceful outlet before actual violence.

Are you measuring "volume of communication" in messages, despite the fact that ICQ messages are one-to-one and private, whereas Twitter messages are one-to-many and (for the most part) public??
TestFlightApp.com is really good for this, doing OTA downloads and such.
If they seem in any way competent and reasonable, and you think they'll do a good job of it (including a reasonable technical review stage, so your product isn't unfairly portrayed as buggy or lacking features it actually has, etc), let them at it. If your product's name or logo are trademarked, however, be sure that they include the relevant trademark notices.

If you are particularly protective of your product's logo, you could refuse to allow general use of it on books without explicit permission (this is true of the Ruby on Rails logo and DHH, for example).

Drug dealers make some of the best apps.

Heard of Farmville or World of Warcraft?

WoW even borrows the first-hit-is-free, by encouraging each purchaser to share the software with their friends. The entire universe of WoW is a streamlined treadmill, for keeping players addicted. From depreciating gear, inflation, achievements, status symbols... it has it all.

Tongue-in-cheek, I know. But I can see how combining the drug dealing experience with video games could lead to insights such as Blizzard and WoW.

Right, and that's exactly why I've had some tell me to use we in articles and other copywriting. But it just doesn't really feel appropriate always ... if you're just one guy writing a blog, seems like you should make it sound that way.

Apologies on the first results, simvm.c had mistakenly not compiled, so those were the original loops. I had to modify the code to get it to compile (dropped it to "#define LONG") and here are the results:

vs

I was exactly in your shoes a year ago. I am a self-taught developer and I completely empathize with the pain and intimidation of open source, and the frustration of defining and breaking down a personal project.

The answer to your question, the idea spot is somewhere in between. Yes, you need to know data structures/algo because there is only so far you can go if that's all you know. I am a very strong believer in "learn as you go" and "pull information as needed". Many people start out learning the fundamentals but forget what they learned because they didn't put it into practice. So my recommendation would be to keep building things and your portfolio, while challenging yourself to also learn the fundamentals as needed for your project.
"build up, not out. share spaces like parks ..."
This was essentially the idea of Le Corbusier

They tried it around Paris and other cities in the mid of the last century, and failed miserably.
I really wish that the browsers adopted a byte-code standard.(NB: JS with source maps is Yet Another Hack, doesn't count.)

If we just had a bytecode and VM standard, along the lines of Java, we could all stop talking and go to hell in our own way.
People want space, quiet neighbors and good schools. Hence the burbs.

Even in NYC, if you aren't in Manhattan or parts of Brooklyn, you need a car. And unless you're poor and lack options or rich and can throw money at the problems, people clear out of Manhattan when child #1 arrives.
The growing realization that walkable and bikeable cities are neato easily outpaces the ability to construct that into a reality in the US. There are decades of intertia from cheap cars and fuel and the "suburban-dream" lifestyle that has resulted in car-first cities, and the cost of rearchitecting and rebuilding that infrastructure is huge and takes years. Old world cities were laid out pre-car and it's much more convenient for them to revert to a pedestrian/cyclist focus (in addition to prevailing attitudes).

It's also not feasible for everyone to afford to be able to live downtown in a walkable city with the way cost of living is increasing, and gasp some people may even prefer to trade a commute in a car for not having to live in a box, or have a little space/land to raise a family, grow a garden, etc (the solution there being better rail networks).

I've been wanting this for years, but their needs to be a upper fine limit. No one should get a $5000 ticket. That said, a $500 ticket can make some poor people loose their residence, or go without eating. I remember getting a high
priced ticket in college, and my transmission went out on that day too. It ate up all my savings, and I seriously thought it's(college) is not worth it. I was working on the weekends at a union job, but barely getting by. It just doesn't make sense that a person's income isn't a factor in the fee structure. (My mom used to go to court and the judge would reduce the fee, but that was the 70's- 80's; I hear that tactic seldom works, or the reduction is not much?)
And since the $100k to charity would be tax deductible, it's really only circa half that for the publicity. But that too is not symmetric - if Sam wins it's more likely he will be able to put the deduction to good use immediately as he will have more gains.
> Most orchestration tools are stateless from run to run, and as such can't identify if a package has been removed.

But NixOS is stateless from update to update as well. The key difference lies in the difference of scope between what is described in a playbook and what is described in a NixOS configuration file.
I don't think you know what it means when someone asks whether a loop will terminate. It's an analysis of the logic of the loop to determine if it will exit. This kind of analysis has been the actual foundation of computer science since there was computer science. I believe this guy Turing was doing some stuff with it.

However, you have a logical flaw in your statement. You say the function will not terminate if it is passed an invalid pointer, but processes terminate when they access invalid pointers. If that's true, then it will terminate. However, if processes do not terminate when passed invalid pointers, then this function will still terminate because it will hit the end of its length variable and terminate.

So you're wrong on many counts.

It's easier to think of it not as "stopped", but in an orbit around the earth that takes exactly 1 year to complete. So it does have some tangential velocity.
What if this bad government is already in power and are inching their way towards their full potential badness.

1. Do something somewhat unacceptable.

2. Wait for it to become the accepted norm.

3. GOTO 1

This is why issues like this have to be nipped in the bud. Toxic ideas need to be stopped before they gain too much inertia, otherwise it won't be possible or practical to stop them playing out. I guess it's like a game of chess. Moving a pawn might seem innocuous, but it's just one move in a larger strategy.
Sensationalist title but the concept is solid - I think these sort of "let's go to the beach and hack/launch/brainstorm like mad people" trips are the new version of geeks gathering in basements for the same end-result.

...Now that I think about it, who wants to see geeks with neck-beards and sun-tans on the beach!? *shudders
I hope it provides some motivation for increased frame rates in television. Hockey is as fast as any arena FPS, and as any serious player knows 60fps is not sufficient to represent that kind of motion.

Even slower paced sports could benefit, because motion interpolation will never be perfect, and strobing to prevent sample-and-hold blur is annoyingly flickery at 60Hz.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in some of my belief: even if people have noticed now, people can't see clearly enough into the machines. You can't scry "motive" from algorithms, no matter how hard you have tried. You've got opaque numbers and scores and rules around them, and somehow you expect a person to come up with an opinion about how the machine arrived at those actions?

We know from centuries of human behavior that rules systems and governments syncretize until the average person just trusts them, assumes their outputs are "fair" when they can't see well enough inside the black box. I am under the impression that such a thing has happened at Google. Too much belief in the "impartiality of algorithms" (which has never been true) blinds a group to avoid questioning what the machines have already done because the machines wouldn't have done it if they didn't have a "good reason". Of course we all know that it is unlikely any of those machines actually reason at all ("have motive"), and instead reflect the biases of their programming, the lack of general oversight in their outliers and false positives/false negatives, the questions of ethics that would be asked of a human judge (and jury), etc.

I assume, because Google has given me no evidence to assume otherwise, if people examined and confirmed the result, they did so with a rubber stamp and presumption the machine is right unless proven otherwise. That's the nefarious thing: there's no motive here. The people aren't given motive to question the machine's decisions, because the machine's decisions are "fair", and the machines have no motive of their own to suggest the sorts of "fair" that include ethics and judicial process, just a bunch of dice rolled that landed with enough snake eyes to "convict". (It's a classic sci-fi dystopian tale, that Google has made an unfortunate part of so many lives.)
Actually, having QnA sessions not immediately after the talk sounds kind of useful. It allows gathering of ideas, and an actual discussion after consulting external facts. Talking to people at their poster during poster hours can be much more useful than the hurried QnA at the end of a talk.
Windows NT predated Windows 95 (95 being the first 32 bit consumer Windows).

I think Windows 2000 didn't have nearly as much compatibility work as XP.

I guess Windows 95 came out because NT was a lot for a 386 or 486? And also different priorities as far as compatibility.

Bitcoin and gold are in very similar categories.

Sure, but when you want to trade them, you are stuck on the platform.

I used to play Crossout, and there is no way to trade or sell your things to other players for real money.

I'm not talking about blockchains representing those items, I'm talking about those items being in the blockchain. This way, the item is really yours, you can sell it to anyone you want, on any platform you want. Basically just like a real item.

Right now, game items are stuck on the platform. When it's in the blockchain, it's really yours, and you can use it on the platform. Big difference.

I'm not claiming that this is going to be the future, but I think it has a high chance of succeeding.

Imagine all those digital items you currently own, you just throw it on some market and you can sell all of those for real money.

Sigh... don't these people understand that the good crypto will just go underground there's no preventing or controlling it.

Then all the bad guys will have good crypto and all the average people and organizations will have hacked crypto used by bad guys to monitor and exploit organizations and people.

Frankly people give Tesla a pass for things that would be unacceptable from any other automaker. The reality is that I don't see Tesla coming anywhere close to the build quality of established high end brands anytime soon.

You compare eg; a Mercedes or Porsche interior with a comparably priced Model S and it's no contest.

Devils advocate - it is possible the large swings are also because it does not have the counterbalancing effect of a large economy on it, and as it gets used more often that will change.

Being able to buy something I want today, because the price went up from yesterday, or saving today when I would have spent, because the price has dropped today causes a regulating effect.

Right now the usage of it is low, small changes in this equation have an outsized effect.
The sad truth is you might be right. At a former company we had wear leveling in the firmware of IoT devices that would cost under 20$/piece so the fact that a car lacks such a basic feature, is shocking and tells me all I need to know about the development practices at Tesla.

As a firmware engineer with automotive background, having now seen how the "sausage" is made there makes me stay away from them for the safety of my own life.

I know the rest of he car manufacturers aren't as innovative or as desirable but at least some I worked for have their firmware development quality processes down to a religion, and, as boring as that may be, it's the kind of mentality you want from something you put your family into every day.
I'd assume he considers "having an account" to fall under the clause you snipped: "(unless I have a special relationship with the domain of course)"

Litestream runs continuously on a test server with generated load and streams backups to S3. It uses physical replication so it'll actually restore the data from S3 periodically and compare the checksum byte-for-byte with the current database.

I made sure Litestream would be safe with the primary database so it only communicates through the SQLite API for locking and state. It should be completely safe to run unless there is a bug in SQLite itself. You can also continue to use a separate periodic backup strategy if you're not comfortable running Litestream alone for disaster recovery.
