I'm not sure why computer scientists really care. Call me a naysayer if you like: but why can't we just ignore this problem?

Time as we think of it in computers is an overlay over time in the physical world. If they're off by a millisecond will anyone notice?

I was a high frequency trader for a long time. The only thing that matters in time world is that computers agree on the same time. Not that computer time is aligned with real world time.
Wow, talk about putting your money where your mouth is. On the one hand, he had to forsee this happening when he sold to Facebook, and he was worth $3.6 billion at the time of the decision anyways, so it wasn't like me with my 5-figure net worth refusing a jump to 9, it was an abandonment of more like 25%, but still. That's a lot of money to leave on the table.
Nate silver is the laughing stock of that entire community, including many of who repeatedly beat his predictions over and over and over. Anything that clown puts out is a joke.
This is not correct! PHP does not do bcrypt natively. Look at the supported options!

Edit: crypt -> bcrypt, stupid iPad autocorrect
Right, and to be clear, it's not just COVID patients, but other patients with treatable diseases. Notably, critically ill COVID patients require more resources: they use a bed and ventilator for longer and require more frequent assistance from nurses and other staff while they're occupying those resources. As an anecdote, my 60-year-old aunt was in the ICU for 6 weeks before a collapsed lung finally killed her.
It's rare for ntpd to step time forward, unless ntpd lost synchronization and the local clock has drifted beyond +/- 128 ms by default. On a 7x24 production server, it's very unlikely, time is always slewed. But a standard leap second implementation requires the addition or deletion of time via adjtimex()'s TIME_INS and TIME_DEL, it's not adjusted gradually.

> "oh, I'm more than one second behind now, I better start fuzzing and catch up".

No, ntpd would say, oh, leap second, now it's the time to tell kernel to delete a second! And if the kernel's negative leap second code path has a bug, kernel panics and everything crashes.

...Yes, you probably can force ntpd to ignore the leap second deletion and also force NTP to slew time only. This approach is similar to leap second smearing (which is considered a violation of standard but nevertheless an useful hack). But it requires manual configuration, by default the standard approach is used.

So the bottom-line is: Time will be forcefully stepped ahead by 1 second (which is an uncommon scenario on production server), and, it would not just be an ordinary step - it uses the operating systems normally untested negative leap second code path. I'm not sure what the consequences would be for various services, perhaps not much, but my worry is the interactions in a complex application can produce unexpected outcomes. Also, how many systems have implemented the negative leap second in the code path? And are they all tested?
Jini has nothing to do with embedded systems? Really? Well, de facto, sure. But how did Sun originally pitch it? Let's do a little search and, oh, here's Bill Venners talking about the same topic in 2006: <http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=150666>..., the Summary starts with "Sun's original marketing message that positioned Jini as a technology for devices backfired in 1999..."

Perhaps we have different notions of embedded systems. I'm thinking of self-contained computers/microcontrollers that are part of a larger system/product with a significant incentive to keep hardware costs to a minimum. As in, use the cheapest processor and least amount of RAM as you can. Now that covers a large range, from 8-bit microcontrollers to high-end systems running real time OSs. The last time I was seriously following that field, however, the hands down favorite language was C. I would be greatly surprised if Java had even risen in usage to rival Forth in the embedded domain. If you have some contrasting data to provide, feel free.

I'll give you partial credit for thinking of J2ME in mobile phones. But there's still a significant difference between programming games in J2ME or Flash for a phone and using Jave to program the phones themselves (ie, the underlying embedded system). Why do you think Nokia's recommendation for application builds was either gcc or, for those building their own phone ROMs, the proprietary ARM compiler?
I beg to differ. I know that I've been well within the terms of service at all times, hosting only a semi-popular message board. I'll grant you that 30Gb of traffic in a month is doing well, however, that certainly comes nowhere close to saturating the network or filling the filesystem.

From your TOS, I should be fine so long as the intent of the site wasn't to do either.

For what it's worth, I generally recommend Dreamhost to people looking for small personal sites or new apps -- until they need to move, but it's my experience with DH that eventually they will need to move. As I've experienced on more than one occasion, the limits, ignoring the Unlimited + 50Gb claim, are enforced far more vigorously than you claim.
The nature of contemporary web applications seems to be getting closer and closer to Erlang's original problem domain: lots of clients, continuously pulling down small updates, with a need for consistent and low latency. Maybe it's finally Erlang's turn to shine?
I don't think that's the case. Facebook are the ones with 10,000 servers (probably a lot more now idk).

Some people are often too quick to try and emulate people/products by picking out some magical quality, using it, and expecting identical results.

It's just like women who latch onto fashion tips/diet tips from celebs - eg "Oooo Angelina Jolie used the X diet. If I use that, I can be like her".

Similarly, some techies think "Ooo facebook used Erlang. If I use Erlang, I won't have any problems scaling".

It's certainly more in how you approach things, and how you architect things than which particular tool you choose to use. There is no magic solution.

FWIW, I run Mibbit which handles a good number of users and messages per second on a few servers. Not facebook numbers yet, but not small either. I think we do a few billion messages a month.

Why did you ever trust Gawker?

I don't mean "trust that they won't compromise it" (though in this case it's a salted DES password -- on the gradient of exposures, this one isn't terribly high for anything but ultra-simple dictionary tests like password), I mean "trust anyone working at or for Gawker".

That's the point of these releases that really surprises me: People get paranoid because they use the same password everywhere...yet they provide every agent at every one of those places with their credentials and assume its safe.
On the job boards page you were linking to startup.ly which is a parked domain.

It's very simple. If you looked at Hong Kong vs China, or South Korea vs North Korea, or Western Germany vs Eastern Germany, you only needed to follow the people's footsteps. Have people been lining up to go from the former to the latter ones or vice versa?
"However, the operation failed when the rubber stamp on those cards intended for the city of Hamburg misspelled Hansastadt as Hanfastadt. Apparently, German is difficult language."

Funnily enough, it's actually "Hansestadt".

I would be nice if there was a way to calculate the amount of financial damage the US government did to legitimate users of the Mega Upload Service.

The US government should be held financially responsible for these.

Plus you could consider the failure of the US governments preservation of Mega Uploads data as destruction of evidence.

If the evidence is not present during the trial it didn't exist.
I am sure I'd do that. But that may not be the best thing to do. One can virtually be assured of bias.
I'm not sure it's fair to suggest that those women aren't famous as some sort of mark against societies sexism (presuming you might feel that way). There are a great number of men that aren't famous who have made significant contributions to science, and there do exist famous women who have contributed.

I'd venture to say most people know, Marie Curie, Jane Goodall, Rosalind Franklin, just to name a few whose names I recognize.
Management is most private small companies are pretty close, been there from the start etc etc

It's pretty hard to for a late employee to break in.
Just these pointed remarks:

- There are things like pv(1) which allow you to monitor pipes. Things like systemd open other interesting possibilities for implementing, grouping and monitoring your processes.

- Recovery could be implemented by keeping a logfile of completed steps like a list of completely processed files or moving processed files to elsewhere in the file system (could be done in memory only using ramfs or tmpfs). Of course, it depends on the case whether it's feasible or not.

- Extensibility: Scripts and configurations can be done in shell syntax. Hook systems and frameworks of varying complexity exist. I agree that doing extensibility in shell code is going to turn out to be hazardous when done without proper concept and understanding of the tool at hand.
The problem is that misbehaviour is often attention-seeking. You then have three choices.

1 - give in and give them candy or whatever it is they're screaming for. Shuts them up for the moment, but makes the problem much more likely to recur elsewhere.

2 - ignore them, or rather, pretend that they're not screaming. This is best in the long term, but obviously sucks for the short term. The worst is the sanctimonious looks you get from everybody because you're letting your children scream it out.

3 - punish them. This is just a variation on #1. They wanted attention, and now you're giving it to them. The difference is that it's much less likely to actually stop the screaming.

Of course, the worst of both worlds is starting out with #2 and then giving in to the sanctimonious looks and the screaming and doing #1 or #3.

While applying 1, 2, or 3 you should also work to find and ameliorate the root cause. Are they tired, hungry, bored or over-stimulated? The last two are particularly hard to tell apart. For instance in an airport it could be either (or both!) -- they're bored because they haven't been able to do anything "fun" but over-stimulated because they're shoved into an overwhelming new environment.

That's why shoving a tablet in their face is so effective -- it gives them something to do while simultaneously shutting out the outside world.

edit: I'm talking about preschool kids.
Basically just technology improving over time. Just looking at wikipedia, 5.25" was introduced in 1976 not clear at what capacity but it fairly early on settled into 360KB. The 3.5" was introduced in 1982 at 720KB with 1.44MB broadly used by late 1980's. The Zip drive was introduced in late 1994 with 100MB capacity and was later expanded up to 750MB. But by that time CD-ROM technology with its cheaper media and less proprietary nature was very much replacing the magnetic based portable storage media.

What's the proper way to term the relationship between "Network Science" and "Graph Theory"?

Is it incorrect or too simplistic to say that network science is a subset of graph theory?
Yeah, some countries don't charge premiums for long-distance and roaming between each other, but among those that do charge such premiums, this would be another killer feature.
Try Ally Bank for this. I use it in a similar way. They used to let you create a bunch of accounts but they now have "buckets" in their accounts. I find it pretty useful either way.
For the record - here they are alpine.js (https://github.com/alpinejs/alpine) and synergy.js (https://github.com/defx/synergy) repos.
This is something that surprises me about the whole thing. Wouldn't the chambers full of Very Important People who are presumably targets of many an angry/deranged person be among those highly sensitive areas? When I heard that these people were breaking down barriers and potentially storming the Capitol building, I thought surely they would stop as soon as they foolishly approached the chambers and started getting shot dead. When I was so much as standing across the street from the White House, where all the protesters hang out, I assumed I basically had a red dot on my head, so I should be careful what I do.
Comparing notes, my understanding is that it causes the production of additional structures which supress the specific parts of the immune system which are attacking the body.

Market caps in cryptocurrencies are an entirely nonsensical fiction. They have no real effect on anything.

Sysv heavyweight?
If all lines in the file are unique, memory usage stays constant after the first line is read.

A set by definition contains only unique items, that is all items in a set are different from each other.
Haha no worries, it's actually a good question as to how it works, as I'm not entirely sure myself. I think the closest equivalent is genuinely musical instruments: I also never look at the keyboard of my accordions. I imagine a part of it is having a constant reference point aside from the fingers, such as having the keyboard in a specific place, or perhaps I'm anchoring more around the modifier keys than the letters.

When I get a chance I'd quite like to film it from a few angles simultaneously to see if there's anything that can be easily identified.
Just a heads up: in the demo's setup block, it installs pytorch 1.7.0 + cu101 from CLIP (since it requires them) and then immediately uninstalls it to re-install pytorch 1.7.1 by the next command, which takes at least 5 minutes. If we don't really need 1.7.1, we can save some time by removing the manual pytorch installation line.
I was using Greenshot because of the default configuration. But left for ShareX because of the Mp4 videos and Gifs. You're correct about the settings. But that's what I love about it too. I was able to mimic GS's default behavior in ShareX.
One person's bloat is another person's feature. Most of the "bloat" and inconsistent support issues in SVG are in SVG text, filters, animation and DOM interfaces. You don't run into those if you're doing the basic drawing that the OP wants to create. Basic SVG drawing is very straightforward and honestly, quite compact with lots of shortcuts and sensible defaults. (except for markers - which are craptastic).
> Arguably, that saves even more money than trying to only give it to people who "need" it.

Some people argue this, but never with reference to the actual data, which unambiguously proves them wrong. The UK Department of Work and Pensions' unusually bureaucratic approach to eligibility results in admin spends of a little over £6bn, or around 3% of its total budget. If you could eliminate all those costs you'd be able to pay working age Brits a UBI of around £180 per annum!
Worst part is so many interview processes value skinny engineers who are tall enough to drop balls into 20 minute cs algorithm baskets.

Looking at the sheet reminds me that the novels had a nice rigid timeframe to tell the stories in, and I imagine those constraints actually helped in the planning process.
Nah, it's Firefox 30 on Windows 7. I just reduced the size to make the two links fit in the same view.
Yeah we totally believe you, you just keep on digging your heels in on this one cause that's how you get people to take you seriously and think you're smart.
Agreed, I feel like AWS has the worst UI of them all, followed by Azure's Metro/Visual Studio-style UI and then GCP is OK on the UI front, but lacks when it comes to monitoring and configuration options for things like CloudSQL for example.
Chances are you may have a different image than what Gibson had since the way a dead channel appears on a CRT had changed over the years and Gibson had mentioned that he was thinking of some very old TVs from his childhood.

While you're standing around, firing blanks at the tank, how do you expect the tank will react to you?

It will, ah, be highly incentivised to shoot back. And it won't be shooting at you with blanks.

Pretty much all the tactics listed in TFA seem to be desperation moves.

Somehow Microsoft is able to produce magnetic chargers for their Surface devices though. It'd be nice if Apple would allow the patent to be breached now that they're not using it.

There are many situations where a good player can be predicted because there is a clear best option (or a good option that advance knowledge won't invalidate).
Realizing I should add a little more context: it’s very common to use Markdown for content and even for generating routes or subpages. But when those pages/posts/sections are expected to provide a certain data/content structure it’s generally provided by “front matter” metadata or mixed-source data like MDX which mixes JS/TS and JSX into Markdown. That experience doesn’t have any real editor safeguards, though it has some linting tools. But it has basically no dependency checks on what would be rendered. You just have to cross your fingers and hope. And if your content is expected to have any particular metadata, good luck refactoring.
The Wikipedia article lists things that always used the base 10 definition. It has examples of disks from the 1970s. And it mentions a 3rd definition of megabyte used since the 1980s.
You'd prefer it until you try using it. When you want to reduce the volume the last thing you need to do is go looking for the app. Now a watch app, that's something.
They've recently changed it on macOS to allow you to free the hard drive space (file is in the cloud) but the metadata (file name) remains indexed on your computer.

For medical issues, I agree that private is usually best; or at least restricted to close friends and family. Imminent death often has an adjacent position, where people commonly wish to share with a broader audience.

However it was just an example of an emergency where one might strongly desire to update a broad range of friends and family quickly. Other situations might be natural disasters or a house fire where one "We're alive!" post might require a follow-up the next day with more details, needs, or grief.

It's just to say that an unyielding, global rate limit would not serve peoples' interests well.

I'm not advocating they stop showing the links. I'm advocating they show the links without the content excerpts - the use of which, to my understanding, is the justification for being asked to pay. Since the excerpts are the websites' intellectual property, whereas the links themselves are just links. Surely you couldn't have to pay to link to a website, that would be preposterous. Maybe I'm mistaken though.

They could even have a nice big passive aggressive message "Excerpt redacted due to the XYZ act of 2021. Click here to learn more about how Australian legislation is fucking stupid"
I agree! My point is that there’s a place for both.
>> the local ISP secured a rural internet grant

Not Satan. The federal government who setup the grants. The state government who licensed the experts who did the work. The local governments who issued the permits and made sure they didn't cut into anything. And the IRS who collected the taxes that paid for the grants. All hail our functioning socialist system.
