I write the OpenAPI spec by hand as I haven’t found any tool to match my needs (nor is the API changing too often). And for the frontend to display the docs I couldn’t be any happier with https://stoplight.io/ (using their WebComponent for simplicity). I think I discovered this on the “APIs you won’t hate” podcast.
Not just terminals: most printers until the mid-80's or so also cared about the distinction for the same reason. They started adding DIP switches allowing you change the default behavior and by the end of the 80's the need for CR+LF was pretty much a thing of the past.

While the original reason for this distinction probably did date back to teletypes, some practical use cases evolved out of the capability. IIRC, some word processors used the ability to provide an overstrike mode before bold was a thing most printers could do. ASCII art photos were also a thing both for printers that didn't support a graphics mode as well as providing a way of printing a larger 'image' on the paper faster while also using less (ribbon) ink.
I use Django and HTMX now for home projects these days.

I do server-rendered React with Restify in my day job, but I don’t really need the complexity of a full frontend framework for my fun projects.
What type of hardware are you using? As the README advertises possibilities for multicore CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs.
I commented elsewhere in this thread: Americans drive .. faster?

So I commuted (I tend to work from home) today, 31th of December, about 90km to the office of my company. Vmax was 200km/h. Tires are cleared up to 210, car can go ~230, but the weather wasn't nice and it's winter.

I don't think that you can bring up 'fast driving' on the US side of things, if you want to compare yourself to Europe. What am I missing?

France allows 130km/h. What's the limit (or what's the average speed over the limit, if you refer to that) for you?

Maybe or maybe not, it's not surprising that all teaching material isn't always as immediately rewarding as checking facebook.
Nim is great, and this article is great, except until now no article about nim managed to sell it to me like a simple Golang example including channel and go routine.

Could any Nim advocate demonstrate a simple program that:

shows the greatest strength (1 killing selling point is enough)
It's nice to see a lot of work being put into mirroring replication in the PostgreSQL 9.0 line, but until better admin tools are there I'll probably just keep using corosync and pacemaker with a shared fiber channel volume for clustering. Sure, it's cold standby, but it only takes a couple seconds for a standby node to come up and I just have to keep my WAL backups like normal for recovery.
This makes sense. But would you say that there could be easier shorthand descriptors to supplement the terms? Or perhaps terms that are used to describe the utility of currying, but don't actually replace the specific (and useful) term?
They've done a lot of good work, but it's not quite done yet. The original conjecture has not been answered in the affirmative, and there are also further questions...
I've found that my Facebook feed has more pictures of home-made food that isn't necessarily terribly expensive; but there is often some social signaling involved (organic, CSA, vegetarian, etc.). Basically any meal that rejects processed food is hip.
They're really not competing at this point. 7159 is the one spec to rule them all. ECMA-404 (which was kind of silly to start with[0]) isn't really relevant to most developers anymore.

ECMA-262 even explicitly uses 7159's predecessor (4627) with two exceptions[1], one of which is the top-level compatibility headache 7159 fixed, and the other just requires the API to disregard the "MAY" in section 4.

Whilst it’s vaguely interesting to hear the blow by blow of the process via which Google screwed up Stadia, I would be much more interested to hear the thought process behind the executives who chose the strategy in the first place. This is one of those cases where I don’t wonder why it failed. I wonder who on earth thought this would succeed? Especially since there are so many examples in the industry to learn from - notable Microsoft and Valve.
I don't understand the point you're trying to make. That because one exploit exists, and using that exploit is cheap, the entire class of attacks is cheap?

Sorry, but this entire thread is nonsense, and it's just a clear demonstration of a lack of threat modeling and frankly a lack of understanding of what attacker capabilities are.
In business terms, however, it's much easier to target consumers of a different country than of a different App Store. Even if you blacklist the top two countries, US and China, you still have a lot of consumers largely in India and Europe to buy your product. If you blacklist two major app stores it's effectively impossible to make money developing apps.

This isn't bad for consumers, it's bad for producers.

Is your system 32 bit by chance?
Because I wrote "color", not "colour" to one of the comments in Android Resource directory, I got "USE PROPER ENGLISH" code review once, from a British guy who has 60K+ reputation in Stack Overflow, who was also the best Android Developer I've ever worked with.

I quit the job immediately, because you can't deal with those kind of people. It never works. However you can find great companies and people out there, the probability is higher than getting along with rotten engineers at least.
This was worded misleadingly. This is indeed a DDoS: code has been injected to load the Github pages in the background using XHR without the user's knowledge. The host page itself is not redirected (or visibly affected in any way[1]).

Furthermore, only people outside of China are affected by this -- Chinese citizens don't have this code injected.

[1]: Actually there is a mistake in the injected code that causes the result of the XHR request to be interpreted as JavaScript, and then executed. Hence GitHub has tried to mitigate the attack by replying 'alert("WARNING: malicious javascript detected on this domain")' to notify the user that this is happening.
Good news, however the human trial will take years. By the time it is complete many will have died already.

In other words this is good news for the next outbreak
Sure, that's ideal, but what if you have a small laptop? It would be nice to make use of the power of your server to compile more quickly, and speed up your development cycle, right?
> I wonder if the same attack can be used on other sites or if it exploits something about Github.

It doesn't exploit anything GitHub-specific! The way it's done is applicable to any site. The reason is that it uses the <script> loophole around the Same Origin Policy (<script> can be loaded cross-domain, thanks Eich...). They basically just inject this every two seconds:

<script src="http://github.com/greatfire/"></script>

The browser will request that page expecting a script. And it'll get HTML, but that's not valid JS and just ignore it, but the DDOS is successful.

However, this also makes all sites with the malicious JS vulnerable to an XSS attack by GitHub, like GitHub is currently doing. If you visit that URL, you get this:

alert("WARNING: malicious javascript detected on this domain")

Though I think the same trick could be done with, say, <img> or <style>, and those wouldn't allow XSS (though <style> could fuck with the page, certainly). Sloppy coding, Chinese Government employee...
Sure, but the power differential is much more balanced in this case it would seem. The U.S. government has a history of giving asylum to Chinese dissidents. I'm not sure that forcing users onto a local equivalent would work, it's not git that's the scarce and valuable resource here, it's GitHub. It's the collaboration, being part of the conversation on PRs and Issues, etc. It's currently the center of the web development universe. Greatfire is a brilliant poison pill. I guess we'll have to wait and watch carefully to understand the end game. My prediction is that GitHub continues to mount a defense long enough for U.S. authorities to get involved and at that point the DDoS will stop. I'm either missing something huge (it's not China), or it's an incredibly naive attempt that will fail: just today's blip.
Suggesting that human intelligence varies by race is a very old, very debunked idea that no-one believes any more outside of some small racist cliques.
Not products in the typical sense, but these are some interesting technologies coming out of Facebook that I can list off the top of my head (many of which I have used personally):

Even with an ORM, isn't there the risk of typing Flight::select('name') instead of Passenger::select('name'), if both values return the same data type (string)?

Is that harder to do than accidentally typing `SELECT name FROM flights` instead of `SELECT name FROM passengers`?

Aren't most of those issues found as soon as you first test the feature?
Out of all the comments in this thread, this one has been the most like my experience.
Assume that since there is something to be gained by the more powerful on one side, that a certain portion of the comments siding with the more empowered source are owned. It's not worth calling out individual commenters, because you can't know. But assume that some portion is shilling.

The hard part is guessing what portion. 10 percent? 30 percent? What's the time-graph? Is it 50% of initial comments, tapering off to just us Real Folk to dither around with the wondering phase of the conversation? The important thing is to assume that you're often witnessing a deceit in some capacity, in most any important conversation.

Needless to say, all this is pretty fucked up.

EDIT: Changed percentages, because I honestly don't know what's reasonable :/
We need to have discussions on how to explain complex things in simple ways, e.g. to kids. Not every contribution to such discussion will be effective, or even complete, but it can still build up to some progress later on.
> How about some AI with some engagement, where i can have input

That's nice but it could backfire. What if people give it wrong feedback in order to make it do silly things, then go and post them online as proof of bias or whatever? The AI shouldn't just incorporate user feedback unless we're certain it's reliable.
We know the answer to that question already. Man will not survive in space in the long run with biological limitations. The ISS had essentially proven that.

There should be more interest and development in the quest to preserve and backup the brain in foundations such as http://www.brainpreservation.org/

The current conception of space travel as displayed in much of popular media is next to impossible and wrong. The biological factor will impede any of such fantasies.

The only way to sustain human space travel is to eliminate biology and replace it with technology.

> lie about it

Nothing in those answers is a lie or not true. It's just an answer that conveniently avoids getting insulted at a table full of people higher than you in the social hierarchy.

Maybe you just don't give a shit about walking into social boobytraps but to me learning how to speak to command respect is sort of an important part of my personal development.

> realization of the need to invent a figure of Jesus

There seems to be very little doubt in academic circles on the whether a Jesus of Nazareth existed:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Jesus

What you are espousing is referred to as "Jesus mythicism":

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_myth_theory

Tim O’Neill (an atheist) has an entire section of his weblog on the topic (and why it's generally non-sense):

I don't know anything about Boston, but where I live in Europe that's not so easy; a lot of properties within commuting distance aren't cheap, either. Sometimes they're even more expensive actually. And living two hours from your workplace isn't cheap either: you pay either public transport costs or fuel for your car, never mind the enormous amount of time you'll spend commuting.

Consider a place like London. It's bloody huge, and much of it is quite expensive. At the end of the day, London is going to need people staffing grocery stores, and cleaners, and that kind of thing. Not the entire population can be software devs or whatnot working from home, and you can't push them all outside of London.
Leaders tend to be rich, and will do rich people things. Obama, Trump, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and the like can afford to relocate away from the coast when it becomes necessary. Or to lobby for government intervention like sea walls and bailouts.

The problems of climate change will disproportionately affect the poor. The rich will be fine, and their purchases will reflect this.
Yes and I believe that is death row inmates who's conviction gets a lot of scrutiny. Imagine how many inmates who plead to get a lighter sentence who were facing 20 years for something they didn't do. As far as the government is concerned, a guilty plea is a win, regardless of actual action. They get to show that they deserve their jobs.
This should be easy to test. Find a a big file somewhere served reasonably fast and see if you can replicate the results while pulling it down. Maybe some Linux distro ISO? I really doubt an ISP would optimize that.
No way, Google constantly blocks TOR with tons of their captcha.
Plus they own like 20% of Australia’s real estate. You guys got in bed with the wrong people.
What annoys me to no end is that I was Whatsapping with a local restaurant for food delivery during the lockdown and two days later, the owner pops up in my Facebook "suggested friends" list.
Yea, it's an interesting topic. I added the link to the previous discussion because it summarized the thorough previous-previous discussion :-)
Agree with you. Hopefully people are more and more aware that they cannot trust anything out there. We are soon reaching a point where we can make anyone say anything we want, including in audio and video format.
But only under Chinese law, which means they have to be founded and led by a Chinese national, and the Party has to be involved. That's before conforming to their censorship and social credit policies comes in.

Thank you for your kind words. I wouldn't call it high-quality, though. I wrote this back when I barely knew how to wield Lisp or use Emacs. I've gained much more experience in both since then; I keep promising myself that one of these days, I'll clean it up and make it a stellar little mode...

As for getting it into mainline, I'd be OK with going through the FSF copyright paperwork, but I worry this will probably fail over the uncertain status of Nyan Cat image/music IP...

1) what makes the bombing a non-responsible use of military power?

2) Why is the US not allowed to "attack[] another nation"? esp given it was a response to attacks on American/coalition personnel?
Khashoggi wasn't obviously different from Anderson Cooper (scion of the Vanderbilts and CIA agent to boot) or Jenna Bush (whose father started several disastrously profitable wars). In order to call these people "journalists", the definition had to be loosened somewhat, but that happened some time ago.
It's true but it can be mitigated with good comments and documentation and of course the most important thing, not writing over-complicated code. Sometimes the code you don't write matters most.

> ... That is until management decides we're overhead and fires us to free up budget for feature developers. ;)

It's a real risk, at least perceptually. Mitigate it by documenting the number of developers' hours you save with automation and better infrastructure. It's pretty hard to argue against a trend of increased developer productivity. Include your own hours; you're targeting saving 30 hours a week of your own time and that frees you up to improve other things even faster.
I'm sure it will be great solace to the families of those murdered by America that the Americans are proud to talk about it again

I haven't read the book but this description doesn't do it justice in that it makes it sound boring!

Since it is stressed that the book is philosophical, I have to say that the most paradigm-shifting ideas about modeling reality I've encountered so far come out of second-order cybernetics and especially the work of Ranulph Glanville. His "Black Boox" series is hard to find online but highly recommended.

The author seems to think that copyright is just about economic rights, but in reality it also confers moral rights.

For example, the Berne convention states: "independent of the author's economic rights, and even after the transfer of the said rights, the author shall have the right to claim authorship of the work".

You cannot justify violating the right to attribution/recognition of authorship on the grounds that it does not cause any financial loss to the author - they are independent rights.

[Citation needed]

We've been hearing propaganda for ages about China & Russia doing evil things in the cyberspace and USA promoting freedoms and such but the NSA revelations among other things have shown that USA is just as guilty of all the spying, attacks, weakening of hardware and software even if it hurts american companies, economic espionage (which was also a difference people here used to make with China and was proven false), etc.

And I'm not even touching Stuxnet and Flame.

> The US generally does not engage in destructive actions with the intent of restricting the rights of their own citizens... just other country's citizens. China does both. Both are very bad, but I think the US still has a slight moral highground here.

If it does. It's not much higher. You're completely restricted in your rights to do anything that the government finds a matter of "national security". Even if it's not related to any official entity [1]

It's time we stop thinking about Us vs Them and who is winning or has a moral high-ground and start thinking in terms of citizens of the world united against injustice.
