The code used for it looks like someone ran a compiler over it and then dumped the output lol it's... extremely hard to read.
I think it is a stretch to claim all of those need concurrent editing. More, the best documents over seen in those have all largely been single threaded in editing.

They have had review features that are decent. But... Best feedback I get is still typically verbal or otherwise out of band.

It sounds like you were doing original research: you were collecting evidence from primary sources (like rosters on military websites) and deriving claims (WP would call them "synthetic claims") from them. But Wikipedia is a tertiary source, not a secondary one: it's the job of books, journal articles, magazine articles, newspaper stories, and the like to present original research. It makes more sense if you understand encyclopedias the way Wikipedia does: as a sort of directory or survey of secondary sources, and little more than that.
Theoretically, yes. But that is part of the point of improving the signal processing. And there's 4-5 different radars looking at stuff coming over the pole at Fylingdales, Thule, Clear, Cavalier, possibly at sea, depending.
Makes me think of something i read about from CES.

Basically a helmet of sorts where you dropped a smartphone into a slot at the top, and some semi-transparent lenses in front of wearer's eyes then made the phone screen appear to float in front of said wearer.

Yev from Backblaze here -> We've actually done a lot of experimenting and content/SEO marketing has helped us grow and expand quite a bit over the last year. As for the HDD reliability...our software works around HDD failures, so they don't affect is too much, but we do like reporting what we've seen in our environment. Hopefully other companies will do it too.
I doubt it will be the VC's bidding once it goes public, typically it will be the public and investment funds. VC's on the liquidating side once one of their investments go public so they can get their exit.
In a word "laziness."

It is just easier to log in and manage an SQL server if it is available on the internet. I know I'm certainly guilty of doing so for short periods when I'm off-site with no VPN and need to manage a server.

Some sysadmins just get lazy and leave it available on the internet with strong passwords 24/7, just so once in a blue moon they can log in and manage it. Or are doing some kind of site to site data migration and are tired of the VPN connection dropping.

I've done a site to site SQL migration across two Azure zones because doing it the "right" way was too complicated/time consuming/expensive. However once the data was copied across I changed the End Point config to protect the SQL server again.

I won't make excuses, it is just laziness/expedient. But that is human nature for you...
An error of what magnitude? IBM has not said exactly how many people will be laid off so we do not know what the magnitude of the error will be. Furthermore, they can certainly perform a 110K layoff by splitting it into multiple layoffs of thousands.
GTA:O shows advertisements for in-game purchases on the loading screen. How many advertisements you see is a function of how long the loading screen takes.

Something tells me this "problem" was discovered long ago at Rockstar HQ, and quietly deemed not to be a problem worth solving.
"So that means it's impossible for many people to remember their passwords."

Good. Human-memorable is machine-crackable.

More seriously, there's work being done on this front, but specifically along the lines of eliminating passwords, because passwords are a terrible method of authentication.

See: FIDO Alliance https://fidoalliance.org/

Or my preferred item, the Yubikey: https://www.yubico.com/

In other words, a lot of your assumptions aren't necessarily correct (and there's competing interests. If I were writing a standard, I'd have all passwords be 20-characters minimum. However, that's not good for user experience)
They're not considering resources for communication a waste of time. They just feel there's a better use for them, considering there is Slack and HipChat which do everything they want and are very simple to set up.
Have you ever tried doing any non-trivial work in Haskell? I've used it professionally, and spoken with a lot of other people who have, and exactly zero people have expressed an experience that the naming of operators has caused the language to be less practical for them. Some think it's less aesthetically pleasing than it could be, but that's not a practical concern.

Furthermore, the specific operators you cite are confusing examples, given that ">>=" can be elided using do notation, "\" looks enough like a lambda that it took me a while to remember what you were referring to, and "!!" is rarely used. A slightly more reasonable argument for your case would be to cite the operators used in the lens library, but those are all aliases for regularly-named functions.

There are some arguments against Haskell in terms of practicality, but this is not one of them.
After checking the site I would say it looks quite interesting to iOS developers. I like the idea to be able to get the logs from remote devices.

I use Crashlytics, that's quite similar to Bugfender, but it's only useful when a crash happens and not all our bugs are crashes.
Personally, I wouldn't; there's a difference between "code that doesn't get distributed to anyone" and "code that gets distributed to some people in binary form but not in source form". If everyone who has a binary has source, everyone who has the software can hack on it. There's nothing wrong with choosing not to distribute software at all.
Without some examples from the author (or sinking time into installing/playing with it) it's pretty hard for me to tell what it's actually going to do with the code.

AutoPEP8 will generally intelligently pick between a standard hanging indent, a deep hanging indent, and an aligned indent. Does this not do so?

Edit: oh, I see. The author's code uses two spaces. Heh.
Frankly, I'm still confused about what "recurse center" means even though I know what recursion is. I wonder what it will first mean to people outside of industry. I also can't unsee the substring "curse center". :/

Slightly off-topic: How would someone structure a study to predict the effectiveness of a rebranding?
You could make the same counter-argument about Facebook and Twitter. If you really think they're interchangeable, that just tells me that you don't value the things that many of their users do.

> This argument goes for password managers as well (which only work on the device that holds them).

My couple of password manager files encrypted and stored on Dropbox disagree with that one. (A couple of different ones because I like to segregate them by criticality. So I don't have to unlock the one with critical information most of the time. Reduces the attack surface.)

I can access them anywhere. Although I try not to access them on anything I don't have control over. For example: I memorize my dropbox password and my student login separately.

And it's a whole lot more secure to have a couple of long passphrases to unlock long generated passphrases for every site than to have a short password/passphrase for every site.
One thing I really appreciate about them is unlike literally every other crypto sub, they’re not an echo chamber. Nobody as far as I can tell is ever banned for being pro-crypto, or posting pro-crypto content. If they’re hard-core shills or brigading they get downvoted or get slapped with a playful flair (“warning, I have the brain worms” is my favorite haha).

As such it gets a lot of pro-crypto folks participating to get a different perspective. It’s not high brow HN level discourse but to your point a lot of serious stuff ends up there.

Considering the topic it’s pretty balanced.
Another one of cstross' predictions from _Halting State_ comes true.

All right, now we need much better cell data networks and lightweight high-quality HUD glasses -- say, the offspring of Rift and Glass.
Not trying to be obtuse, but it is in the best interest of countries not to owe other countries favors or have skeletons that can be used against them.

In simpler words - cry me a river that the US is able to use human rights abuses, corruption, etc., against you because, if not the US, someone else will. But the same goes for the US. If you don't want to be embarrassed by facts that are revealed as leaks, don't do what you did in the first place.
This reminds me of all of the notices about the quoted the CFAA and amendments Bill Clinton signed into law in '96 that people had as txt files on their hard drives when using Soulseek. It said just that, if you are a government employee you are barred from accessing my files per the CFAA. I never thought it would actually hold water, but it seems it potentially could.
I'm obviously biased (as one of the developers of IPS), but since some of the BSDs have integrated ZFS, seems like they should use the Solaris packaging system too :-)

Not the person replying to (but I am the author of the blog post being promoted here)

I believe they _may_ be referring to the feature of being able to run a single "tunnel" on multiple hosts, using the same credentials and ID.
When you do this, not only will Cloudflare automatically serve from the geographically nearest server if it can, but when one client goes offline (When the tunnel is disconnected, not application error sadly) it will automatically ignore that connection and serve from the others, providing some basic degree of failover with no extra payment or much configuration.

I believe you can also easily integrate Tunnels with the paid CF Load Balancer: https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections...

As I read I wondered about the possibility of its abuse as a payload system, then I reached this linked post[1]:

> What happens when you combine the fact that part after the : for CSS Custom Properties doesn’t need to be valid CSS with window.getComputedStyle()? You get a way of passing data – including Arrays, Objects, and even JSON – from CSS to JavaScript.

The first article proposes the possibility of sending updated variables via a CDN, and the linked one shows a CSS variable being parsed as JSON and then executed by the Javascript engine.

There's probably some fun and high jinks to be had there…

As a generalist trying to develop a CAD system using SDF and functional representation, the details of isosurface extraction are interesting to me (if somewhat tedious at times). Researching the bigger picture, tying together the concepts of representation, rendering, analysis, manufacturing, etc. is my rabbit hole.

For those of you that don't know, mkeeter has developed Libfive--a well-regarded project which performs isosurface extraction of implicit functions to triangular meshes--so we can render them with OpenGL or print them on a 3D printer, for example. The implicit functions can be implemented at several language layers, including C, C++, and Scheme.

Liberalism and left wing aren’t the same thing, it’s not conservatism either.

Take Milton Friedman for example. Right wing right? No, liberal. He believed in free markets and the power of free enterprise, but he also believed unions were important as an expression of individual freedom of association. He even advocated a negative income tax for low earners so he was a redistributionist.

I still think that would be far better than a basic income, but I digress.
There is something that yesterday happened and will go into history, US is not a democracy, is a country run by Banks and yesterday the second power came into place and without shame exposed their identify: Big Tech. In any other country with political instability the Stock Market would crash. Today another day of unprecedented earnings mainly in Tech. They have the power to censor the most powerful man on Earth, a person that was elected according to the US constitution and laws. We need legislation to break and moderate this companies
So your argument is that the violence would've been justified if they had managed to pull the coup. Got it.
The media leans neoliberal, not left. You never see leftist leaders painted in a good light by CNN, ABC, NBC, WashPo, NY Times or LA Times, as those leaders threaten the continued consolidation of wealth by the upper class.
Yes I sure hope a lot of new legislation comes out of this moment of rage. Rage-based legislation usually ends up being very wise.
You certainly can label it as misogyny if you wish to, and you’re not wrong, but ultimately it’s little more than a pejorative. Outside the confines of a Foucauldian academic discussion, these words are used to define and exclude people, not to understand them.

It damages our ability to have a constructive conversation with people who have opposing views, because it implies that they carry some unreasonable inner hatred of women within them, and that they can never be persuaded, only defeated and disempowered politically.
While what you say is totally true, huge part of the energy budget of humanity is heating stuff. If we remove heating for cooking, heating homes and water ... we will reduce drastically our footprint.

What do you mean by "slow"? Hours, days, weeks, months, or years?

> Also on strong serotonergic drugs like LSD you always get serotonin-syndrome [1]

Your Wikipedia link says

Yes. It's pretty common for vaccines.

One mechanism: If you have a vaccine designed to deliver a spike protein (without a virus) surrounded by a carrier. The body learns to destroy the carrier. On future doses, the body recognizes the carrier, and the vaccine is destroyed before the body can react.

Of course, a vaccine with a different carrier won't be affected by this mechanisms, but there are many other mechanisms as well. I'm not an expert, and I don't know all of them. I'm not sure science knows all of them either, for that matter.

There have even been instances of vaccines making diseases worse too (actually, viruses not too dissimilar to COVID19). And there are a bunch of other possibilities.

I'd buy the basic premise of giving each person one dose for giving everyone imperfect immunity if not for these sorts of complications. I'd rather just wait a few more months than risk a small (but definitely non-zero) chance of something really, really bad.
Actually the density of taxpayers in suburbs may not be enough over time to maintain their infrastructure like roads and sewers.

Residents in both places pay for their housing units but share the costs for roads, sewers, etc. Denser cities have an advantage in this regard.
People without a fixed address ARE allowed to vote. They are still residents of the state. I'm not sure what the point of this clip is - the thing that was admitted is completely correct and legal.
> initiatives for standardization have almost dropped to zero compared to the 1990s and 2000s

I think OSS adoption explains this. Standards were all about advocating for common interfaces, even if the implementations were proprietary. Proprietary software was more a thing in the 90s and 00s.

Nowadays, common practice is to use open implementations, not just open interfaces. Nowadays, we only see widespread initiatives for standardization when people are trying to cement the long-term survival of their implementation's interface.

See, for example, the Open Container Initiative, put forward by Docker (a company that engineers were concerned about betting the barn on, in 2015).

Contrast that with S3, which does not have a corresponding commitment to an open interface standard. Their interface has been copied nonetheless by several vendors (DO, Linode), making it a de facto standard, albeit a fragile and autocratic one.

Basically, I'm not sure if standardization has evaporated, I think it's diffused, and OSS is (ironically?) a contributing factor.
Agreed. Why they wasting our time pointing out it’s “non-linear” when this statement is only true for some definitions of linear? Just pick a non-ambiguous word, or add an asterisk and footnote.
Gamers are likely to run their systems with demanding workloads, for hours, with a color-coded performance counter (FPS stat). They'll notice if it throttles. They're particularly demanding customers, and there's quite a bit of competition for their money.

That's how Markdown is supposed to treat numbered lists. This section describes it in John Gruber's original description of Markdown syntax: https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#list

> It’s important to note that the actual numbers you use to mark the list have no effect on the HTML output Markdown produces.

It does cause a lot of surprising errors though, especially when the person isn't actually trying to write a list. For example, a case that comes up often is that someone will ask a question like, "when did this happen?" and someone will reply something like, "1986. It was a rough year." But due to markdown interpreting that as a list, it will get rendered as "1. It was a rough year."

Causes a lot of fun and confusion around ages too when it looks like someone's saying their child/significant other/etc. is one year old when they really typed a completely different age.
Interesting, I’ll take a look and see if our markup is encoded improperly.
Capitalism is literally allowing greed to run wild and almost completely unchecked. It's the driving force behind greed being such a force in 2019.
> It seems to me like most people support Warren's anti-big-tech stance in principle or they don't much care. Not many outside of the bubble seem to be genuinely opposed to it and it's a quite esoteric argument as to why it would make things worse (maybe a true, valid and legitimate argument, - but not the sort of thing that takes on support organically without a bit of push - can we see that push?).

I think the reason Warren could lose ground talking about Big Tech is pretty straightforward - it's a way less generally compelling, personally-broadly-relevant message than her other key issues, and so a distraction. Less a pure negative, but an opportunity-cost net negative.
> I don’t see how this does not violate their 1A right to books

There’s a First Amendment right to books in prison? (Genuine question.)
I found two lists with over 100 companies each, top public and unicorns with a small amount of overlap.

Looks like the 135 is the first result when googling "how many companies are worth 1 billion?"

You might try evaluating multiple results. Many private companies are not included in these lists

There are certainly educational benefits to filming ERs and frequently crews would not be able to get permission from patients prior to filming. So personally, I see no problem with the filming. But, before any viewings or editing of the recording, permission should be gained from the patient or –if the patient did not survive– the patient's family. In the United States, something like what happened to the Chanko family should absolutely be prohibited by HIPAA and the hospital should be severely fined!
I had been dabbling with couple of big distributions - RHEL, Debian, SuSE, Knoppix, and maybe one or two others - when dual-booting on an older machine before I switched to Ubuntu; each one had problems with some hardware or another (sound, dial-up modem, required a DVD drive for installation, monitor, and later, Wi-Fi adapter) whereas Ubuntu just worked.

I also tried Arch Linux both in a VPS and in a Virtual Machine after switching to OS X, but at some point realized that I had more money and far less free time to spend tinkering with config files than when I was in middle school.

Sometimes I look at the latest Intel-based Surface Pros and wonder whether it makes sense to go back to Microsoft-land.
I, too, would like a citation on this (not that I disbelieve you, but I am curious what data and methodology were used to come up with it).
If the author has seen Facebook proxygen[1] (another C++ http framework), a comparison to it would be helpful.

At first glance, it looks like the Silicon dependency microhttpd is somewhat analogous to proxygen. Is the Silicon value-added proposition the extra layers on top such as auto gen of client-side code, etc?

> Python 3 broke backwards compatibility

While this is true, it's possible to write a script that will run on both Python2 and Python3, so long as you have that goal in mind. The breaking of backwards compatibility is the breaking of several APIs and assumptions.

> to my knowledge everybody is still using Python 2

This is mostly because the release of Python 3 didn't see everyone stop everything and immediately start coding in Python 3. Conversion has to bubble up from the major libraries (e.g. Django, Flask, SciPy, etc) first, before people are able to convert.

Also, switching the default Python on Linux distros takes time because you have to go through all of the packages in the package manager looking for Python scripts and make sure that anything pointed at /usr/bin/python will work with Python 3[1].

Another point is that a number of libraries delayed conversion, and didn't consider Python3 to be "stable" until around Python 3.3. Some of other libraries (cough Flask cough) delayed support for a long time because the maintainer just didn't like Python 3.

[1] I know that these aren't always working well though. A while back I found out that Comix (installed via Ubuntu) had "/usr/bin/env python" in the shebang line instead. Launching it from a Virtualenv that doesn't have PyGTK doesn't work so well... :P
OpenDNS could still turn ads on again at any time. And the censorship and subversion arguments are still valid.
