>If it sucked nobody would be using it.

Really? History is filled with stuff that sucks and people still use it.

As an example, J2EE circa 2002-2006 is a good example, with everybody, including its own designers agreeing now that it sucks hard. And yet it was widely used in the enterprise.

Your comeback to the other commenter is even more illogical. He points to PHP (as an example of something arguably sucky that people do use) and you respond that "PHP is not a Javascript framework".

So? Did you really meant your original statement ("If it sucked nobody would be using it") as something that only holds for JS frameworks (and not also for things like programming languages or libraries)?
Its the usual political BS that comes out of there. We don't need this "political insight" from a surveillance/advertising company that makes money by tricking you into clicking on an ad or convincing you to buy some trinket that some other random company made. Maybe one day, instead of forming these unions they would just quit and stop enabling Google.
> What difference did democrat control make to her?

Nothing imo. Before it was probable that there could be careers and jobs outside of the presidency. With these moves it seems like Trump decided to make his bed with the worst of his base and a lot of people have finally decided that it's a bridge too far. Last-minute attempts to distance themselves after playing along the entire time.
This has led to ever more elaborate ouster clauses eg amending the wording to something like "determination or purported determination". It's been an ongoing game of legal sophistry. It's quite amusing really.

This is a recent attempt (subsequently dropped I think as the politics moved on): https://ukhumanrightsblog.com/2020/10/15/the-uk-internal-mar...
Approximately 23% of the US population voted for him. Typically I don't like this arguement, the rest of the population would probably have voted along much the same proportions as those who did.
> With Bitcoin you own property that can never be confiscated or debased by any government.

So the killer app for bitcoin is owning bitcoin?
I agree - but as I've said above at some point, at some certain size, moderation goes very quickly to censorship when you go deleting the largest platform by far for one side to discuss things, when they're NOT actually doing anything that thousands of other subreddits do that aren't banned.
It’s OK to enjoy doing things that are mildly dangerous. You don’t have to live your life in a cushioned bubble.
Except that this isn't journalism. It's an essay written by comedian Patton Oswalt, presumably to publicize his upcoming book.
> - Most people don't see a difference between an Op-Ed and actual news. Most cable news networks don't easily distinguish between news and opinion reporting since both are regularly done by the same people.

So your argument is: "Most people don't realize that there's a difference between opinion and reporting, so there isn't one."? I don't accept that people can't distinguish, and even if true, I don't accept that it makes any difference in the truth.

There is also a difference between real new organizations -- viz. print -- and cable news. Even on Fox News, however (note: I don't watch cable news frequently, I'm assuming this is still the case), their opinion shows are clearly separate from their actual reporting. O'Reilly, Hannity, Fox and Friends all discuss the news but aren't reporting it.

> Again we're focusing on Julian Assange. While there is a story to be written about him, that story is easy and lazy. The far harder story is to actually investigate the cables.

Forgive me, but, It's a bit offensive to the reporters at the New Yorker, or the Times, or the NYT to imply that such a story is easy and lazy. You make it sound like the two stories are mutually exclusive and it's not as it the cables themselves are being ignored by anyone.

> The rape accusations against him (while serious and perhaps true) do not change the information contained therein. The source doesn't actually taint the leaked information.

I'm not sure how major media outlets are implying that it does tain the leaked information. If you can see that, what makes you think that others can't?

> Former illegal cocaine and marijuana user, President Barack Obama, took a trip to Hawaii for Christmas break. Since he had been known to get a speeding ticket, it's interesting that he's asked to speed up the time table for implementing the repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell".

I honestly don't know how you can't see that there's an ethical difference between what you said and the bias it contains and reporting that Julian Assange is accused of rape. If Obama were accused of rape and tried to pass DADT, you can bet it would be reported on too. Like it or not, the world doesn't organize itself into self-contained encapsulated segments of information. Humanity and human faces are a part of reporting, one that drives more people to know about things like the leaks than otherwise would have.
They just fixed that.
I know on the surface that it does, but Pyramid isn't ready for production as yet. Also, the secondary issue for me is that I had made a choice to go with Pylons, but that has effectively been abandoned (sorry for the strong word as I appreciate it will be 'maintained' but will never move forward from where it is, and my concern is that after investing considerable time/energy into our project that the same thing could happen. Thanks though - I appreciate that in some respects it does seem an easier choice. I suppose thats where RoR works - they have one main framework to choose from (and a good one) whereas with Python there are a lot.
I'm doubtful of their 55-60% accuracy claim; how could a statistical analysis of encrypted traffic differentiate between samizdat and benign text? Or, more relevantly, whether someone browsing Wikipedia is looking up Tienanmen or just porn?
Where does it say he was a couch surfer?. The title the submitter chose seems a bit of an ad hominem.
Heh.

The traditional snippet associated with that argument is the Game of Life in APL. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9xAKttWgP4

And yes, this is specifically why I opted to redefine "power" in my post; the standard definition leaves out some points that I've found to be essential.
Argh, I was afraid of that. Can we have something that is a hybrid of refcounting and stop-the-world GC? I read some nice academic paper a few years ago about how people made a GC that combined the benefits of refcounting and stop the world.
How about comparing lumber usage? The U.S. may not have used as much cement, but we probably had more wood available.

P.S. I imagine using cement is more eco-friendly.
Bubbles don't happen when everyone says "we're in a bubble".

Bubbles happen when everyone is excited, they all want in to the next pets.com no matter what, and the general consensus is "this time is different".
This is how I prefer to do it. No CORS pre-flight requests and messing with CORS settings
This thankfully made it into C++20.

However a full destructuring bind, à la Lisp, hasn't. You can't do `for (auto& [a, [b, c]] : some_container_of_structs)` which is handy for taking apart all sorts of things.

Relatedly there's no "ignore" though it exists in function declaration syntax: you can write `void foo (char the_char, int, long a_long);`. But you can't ignore the parts of a destructure you don't need: `auto& [a, , c]`. This capability is sometimes useful in the function declaration case but is quite handy, say, when a function returns multiple values but you only need one (consider error code and explanation).

And variadic destructuring...well I could go on.

I haven't attended a C++ committee meeting in 25 years (and didn't do a lot when I did) so I have no reason to complain.
The issue is the distribution of the wealth. Can one thousand people build the same amount as one million people? No. They can’t even build 1/1000th as much. So then why is a disproportionate amount of wealth given to people who are not the movers and shakers? Society doesn’t cease to be pump blood when leeches are peeled off.
How do you shut the internet down when the economy runs on the internet? Lol.

I don’t think you’ve thought this through, even though you’re so adamant.
I'm so lucky to live in a country with no super-rich people so I don't have to suffer from the inequality that Americans do.

Isn't it strange that that's true? Why does jealousy stop at national borders? Why not more local borders? Why not people you personally know? Why not the whole world?
I hear what you are saying about the problems with the current system being fraught with problems, and there being a total gap in a government provided service.

That said, there are a lot of challenges to such a program.

Ready return was limited to people who were single, no-dependents, standard-deduction, only-wage-income, one-employer, with a maximum adjusted gross income of $139,917

This is great for a number of people and should exist!

That said, if you fall into this category, your 1040 should take 15 minutes to file by paper.

Where automated systems break down is handling more complex scenarios. Selection of deductions, pass through business income and losses, charitable donations, corporate investment vehicles, ect.

Many of this things require individuals to make choices at the time of filing. This is challenging to automate.
This is really insightful, thanks for sharing this! I think I'm going to adopt this for myself.
Neither mobile platforms nor MacOS are really trying to "replace" Windows, never have been. They have some overlapping markets, but the target has really been very different all around.

On the other hand, Apple has been very careful to include this sort of "backwards compatibility" in all their systems for a while. It's usually not maintained as long as Microsoft does, but from m68k -> ppc -> i386 -> amd64 -> armv8 they're always supported at least the last architecture and runtime, so early OS X could run apps from System 7/8/9.
US is still in the stone age of technology and finance, as usual. I live in a third-world country and all my online purchases require confirmation in a bank app on my phone.
> jam, listen, and replay

Does that actually work? I thought the fob would contain some kind of private key that's used in a challenge/response scheme with the car, precisely to avoid the replay attack?
The author somehow came up with an executable file format that's compatible with everything. It's simultaneously a valid shell script, Unix ELF, Windows PE file, boot sector code and zip file.

Then she wrote a standard C library that detects which OS you're using at runtime and branches to the appropriate implementation, allowing the same x86_64 code to run on any supported system.

if (IsWindows())
DoWindowsThing();
else
DoUnixThing();

Traditionally, these system differences are resolved at build time: only the code for the target platform is included. Why would anyone want Windows-specific code in a Linux build? It's dead code... right? The new run-anywhere executable format makes that code useful.
If you look at the Ofcom schedule it says that 433Mhz ISM devices must accept harmful interference. So you’re probably right. They aren’t safety critical systems.
Heck my local McDonald’s drive thru is hit or miss. Cold fries, no fries, smashed burgers, missing nuggets all too common. The reviews of it are in the toilet too. there’s basically no competition nearby except for a Dairy Queen which is just as bad. This location is staffed by teenagers because we live just outside the main metro to get any labor that would care about doing a good job.
I have an EE degree and I firmly consider even the simplest forms of radio communication insane magic.
It seems like "worse is better" only applies selectively when C has the advantage. For instance, Rust has no formal spec, but surely that is fine according to the "worse is better" philosophy, because the current situation serves most, but not 100% of users. Rust doesn't support ancient architectures that aren't being manufactured anymore, but Rust supports most common architectures. Surely that is fine according to the "worse is better" philosophy?

It seems many who favor C over Rust don't actually believe in "worse is better". A language must be equal or better than C in all possible aspects before it can be greeted with reluctant distrust instead of hostility. "Worse is better" can be used to defend C, but never a new language.
You can compile a program on MacOS. The result, an executable binary, can run on Linux, Mac, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, BIOS .... the same EXACT binary!
I've always had mixed feelings regarding the Myres-Briggs test.

On the one hand I was surprised by its consistency - in my case, every time I take it (regardless of the implementation), I get the same result. This probably comes down to a combination of me sort of being able to anticipate what a question is about and the test's genuine descriptive power.

On the other hand, like pretty much everything psychology-related, this test feels like it's trying to impose a relatively simplistic order onto an area that we don't understand properly. I have a similar impression of the big five personality traits, as well as of the descriptions of pathologies in the DSM.

I think at the end of the day the Myers-Briggs and the Big Five probably have quite a bit of overlap. At their core they seem to describe personalities via a number of principal components or latent variables that differ a bit between the two models, but capture about the same amount of information.

> The great advantage of the the MBTI is exactly that it makes everyone feel like a beautiful special snowflake. The axes are chosen and named ingeniously so as to make them easy to reveal.

Considering that both models are hand-wavey borderline pseudo-science, I agree that the Myers-Briggs is the more palatable of the two.
Not very uplifting if you account for who's ruling Turkey and establishing these laws, is it?
Sounds awful. I work as a programmer, but the only way up at my employer is into management, where I would necessarily have to stop working as a programmer. That would be a step away from what I enjoy doing.
There’s always something to DDoS. It comes down to whether the attacker has more resources than you have server capacity, and these days attacks can be measured in terabits.
I don't know what's more worrying, - the turn everything into data as an industry, or how happy individuals apparently are to apply it to themselves.

Take this with a grain of salt. The statistics of course (well on a larger scale than this article could take aren't wrong) but that an individual is ready primarily to evaluate their own choices in terms of them is rather scary.
The AI tool told me I could get a 5.2ghz overclock on my 10700k. It recommended 1.6V — which is WAY too high. I suspect many inexperienced users will trust the AI tool and unknowingly shorten their computer’s lifespan.
Racket can also be used in terminal. But I think it's harder to debug in terminal compared to debug in DrRacket especially in the later chapter. Besides, racket also has a sicp package for the book(https://docs.racket-lang.org/sicp-manual).

This is common with disgraced entertainers.
Yes, but taste is subjective so I know I'm probably not in the majority with that opinion here.
Man, I wanted to love gRPC. The disconnect between Protobufs and languages just felt too great though. You could do some weird things that just made every language feel, to some degree, non-idiomatic.

I switched to Twirp at one point to retain the simplicity of RPC + Protobuf, but avoid some of the complexity we didn't need via gRPC... but even that suffered, of course, from the Protobuf problem.

Finally I'm back to plain HTTP and JSON. We don't worry too much about REST fundamentals, and honestly we're more like an ad-hoc (JSON) RPC over HTTP, but it's simple.

The only problem is documentation. The one thing that I found perfect with Protobuf. Seems really hard to have everything here.
Venture Beat says the same thing: https://venturebeat.com/2018/06/28/tsinghua-university-plans...
Yo dog, we heard you like neural architecture search, so we wrote a NAS for your NAS so you can optimize your hyperhyperparameters while you optimize your hyperparameters.
Note that idempotent in this context means “2 calls will end up with the same server state as one call”.

It does not mean for example that the second call can’t return a different response than the first.
I noticed in the "recent deaths" section, YouTube for 3DS. This made me laugh, because at Netflix, supporting the 3DS was always a big pain. Regardless, Netflix still supports it to this day.

In fact, as far as I know, Netflix has only ever killed support for one platform -- The PS2. And that was only because there were only about 10 people left using it.

So we sent them all Rokus and told them we're discontinuing PS2 support.
It's a nice experiment about waves, but it's totally unrelated to the Gravitational waves or the methods to detect them in LIGO. It's as accurate as a model of gravitational waves like as a model of seismic waves in earthquakes.
The point is that nobody talks about making altered photographs illegal, or having federal regulations around altering photographs, or anything remotely as ridiculous. But because it's video everybody is losing their minds.

First of all, I am glad to hear that you want to talk about the difficult cases because it means that you are okay with Catholic teaching in non-rape cases.

No, it very much does not. The fact that your failed to comprehend this is telling.

For clarity: the Catholic Church routinely abuses human rights. Sometimes this is a direct result of proclamations from the Pope and thus a core part of the religion (eg use of contraception); sometimes this is because of the structure of the church (eg routine physical and emotional abuse of looked after children; transfering child-abusing priests from one area to a different area).

Parent claimed that following the teachings of the Catholic church made them less cruel. This is a weird position to hold considering the very great harm the Catholic church has perpetuated, even in recent years.
Maybe. Trying to keep things simple, to start.
Can anyone recommend any open-source faceted search tools?

Bonus for:

- being:
- easy to install (via yum, apt-get, brew, etc)
- accessible from the command line / shell
- accessible as a library
- actively developed
- not requiring (though allowing) an external database
- allowing search through regular expressions
- emacs integration
Your method sounds to me like a pretty standard PSK crack: deauth client, collect auth handshake, repeat until you have enough packets to crack the passphrase. But collecting enough packets to crack the PSK becomes more difficult as the number of clients disconnecting/reconnecting goes down and the complexity of the PSK goes up. If you're trying to connect to a home AP with a halfway-decent passphrase, it can take days (or weeks) to collect enough auth packets.

Man-in-the-middle, on the other hand, takes almost no time at all - just a gullible user with the passphrase. This method seems like it would be especially effective against most home APs, which is the same case that is less-than-ideal for the other method.
“You know what, Mom? Those problems don’t exist anymore. It’s obvious that girls are smarter at math and science.”

I'm not talking about nix here, I'm talking about how to mitigate the problem he encountered using Ansible.

You could describe almost any business with a snarky remark like that. Github: basically re-invented your sysadmin putting up a CVS server, over the internet; Stripe: basically re-invented what a bank used to do, over the internet.

Anyway, this is one of those things that works much much better on the internet. In the bad old days, a travel agent was the only option for booking flights and trips. Now that you can do it all over the internet, I doubt there's a market to support that many travel agents: the occasional honeymooners and niche travelers.

But the internet is great at turning niche ideas into massive businesses. If there are only thousands of people in your city who need this per year, you'd barely support a travel agency. But if there are thousands in your city, and also in every other city, that's a billion dollar business.
That's what I was thinking. The problem on or near land wouldn't be staying afloat (which I assume a ball like structure would manage) but surviving crashing into structures and other floating debris. Wood seems to be a less than ideal choice for that. Perhaps a metal ball would dent but not break/leak like I'd expect wood to.

But it looks like the maker has given this thing a lot of thought, so there's probably something I am missing.
Having the "right to refuse unlawful orders" clearly implies that military personnel have some authority to evaluate the legality of orders.
The Google+ "social" product. I'm not sure of its current state, as everything is a moving target, but at the time I acquired one, the creation flow was deliberately somewhat misleading, for example not pointing out that you don't need to supply a profile photo. And/or there was one question that required a response; some googling (irony?) revealed that one could remove the answer or its public visibility after signing up.

And this was after much of the initial foofera (sp?), that had already caused Google to scale back some of its demands for/during the sign up flow, IIRC.

Plus had/has a lot going for it. Then, they tried to cram it (and "true names", etc.) down our throat.

Opt-in. Carrot first, not stick.

--

P.S. Let me put it this way: I want the ability to choose for myself and entirely what aspects of a "Google profile" I make public.

Separately, I'll also add that as Google has gobbled up more and more popular products, I've become increasingly leery of a single profile that tracks and analyzes me across all of them and their varied and diverse functionality.

I'm not doing anything particularly nefarious. But when the price Amazon charges me depends on a profile, and my insurance rate or ability to get insurance may depend on another profile and "social graph", etc., etc... And also on principle and for some sense of privacy and peace of mind (however incomplete)...

Monocultures are subject to disease and corruption. One analogy that I might extent to online cultures. I don't want all my eggs in one basket -- especially when it's not even by my choice.
Am I the only one who thinks it's weird to be writing blog posts inside a web browser? What's wrong with a text editor? Is it just the "publish" button? Or do people find it actually helps the writing process itself? (It doesn't for me, I edit my blog posts locally and push them with rsync when they're ready to publish.)
I've been using gerrit extensively lately. It's a great review system on top of git.

I work with people around the world on software -- including people I've never met who decide to contribute a change (which enters the same workflow as a project lead). It's just awesome.
TL;DR: trading Africa's third world problems for first world problems is a bad thing because targeted advertising.
