I'm not sure how they achieve the goal of maintaining trust by simply charging a licencing fee for the brand. Unless they review and certify every modified build, this seems like a simple dual licencing model under the veil of making sure customers aren't misled.
>Yes I had an experience writing a baseball stats program on a Commodore 64 using BASIC. All of the data were in data statements and saved with the program on tape until we could afford a floppy drive and then store data in a serial file and load it in the Baseball stats program.

So you had the program rewrite itself every time it ran to edit the data statements? That would be fascinating.

I think sharing these stories are awesome. Constraints in programming are always fascinating and they create awesome hacks. And to me the most fascinating is when you invent something radical -- at least to you -- that is actually a known concept in Computer Science.
He specifically makes no promises. QuakeWorld was released, more or less as described just five months later in December 1996.
For those who are interested in the guts of this, you can find the beautified code on Github[0] and a detailed breakdown here[1].

In short, Windows completely exposes its filesystem through ActiveX and WScript, skipping the need to package Node for filesystem access. Then bundle native JS crypto along with some nasty string-encoded binaries, and you've got everything you need to hold a PC hostage.

Makes me wonder if there's a way to commit such evils with AppleScript and/or JavaScriptCore...

I think mouse support in Tmux is significantly better; it is hidden behind config flags but tmux supports window and screen switching, buffer scrolling (mouse wheel support), copy-on-select, plus you can bind mouse keys as part of functions.
Wordpress does not abstract the database, so migration to SQLite would break tons of plugins.

Wordpress is also a PHP application, and it's common to have multiple PHP processes running in parallel, which makes it much harder to use SQLite.
Andrew has already spoken to the single writer matter. Another issue is it's not very easy to scale horizontally at all. You could shard, but you're not going to be doing replication very easily (although a project does exist to provide replicated SQLite - https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite - but then you might as well finally use Postgres or whatever).

My attitude to this is if my project can be working well and turning a profit within SQLite's limitations, we can worry about migrating to a different stack later on. The same reason I use Ruby for almost everything initially too.
> Planning things far ahead doesn't mean you're rigidly bound to those plans, it just means you have goals you've set and you're going to work towards unless things change, forcing you to alter those plans.

Except that's not what the original poster was talking about. The OP specifically referenced the centralized planning of communist states, which are poorly informed and inflexible to changing conditions, just like I said, and they employ deceptive propaganda even among the people that are supposed to help them realize their plans.

Nothing wrong with having a rough strategy that you openly share with your employees so you can all work towards realizing. That's exactly the kind of planning I described in fact.

I think it might be an issue of "knowing how the sausage is made". I don't think most people realize how much data acces most sysadmins have in the services they use.
Canonical is certainly trying to find a way to monetize it's OS too. It must be frustrating to be the N1 guest OS and make no money out of it. They have a couple of commercial offerings but for most part companies just use Ubuntu VMs and never pay for the security updates, bandwidth, ...
Your entire database is in one file, so you can only write from one process at a time. You can read from multiple processes at a time though.
What I meant was talking about design ideas endlessly won't get much done. You get an idea out there, you build the thing, and than you standardize. Sure, talking to people is necessary and incredibly important, but don't overdesign and than wait to get everybody's permission. If you want to change the world, getting a working, if unpolished, version of your idea made is your first order of buisiness.

Perl has historically had excellent Unicode support. I remember going from Perl to Python (like a decade ago), and being annoyed at how messy Unicode support still was. Ruby, too, lacked good Unicode support, for many years after Perl had it pretty good.

But, Perl 6 definitely gets it more right than other implementations I've seen.

The EU trademark laws are the same in this regard, they don't need a permission to refer to the actual Ubuntu by its trademarked name, it would be a noninfringing nominal use.

However, it seems to be about being able to call their modified system as Ubuntu, which is exactly why trademark laws exist - Canonical is and should be the sole authority in deciding if something that's not made by them, but is somewhat similar and wants to be called Ubuntu can be called Ubuntu; they can allow it, allow it if they get paid, deny it no matter what because they don't like you, or allow it under any totally arbitrary conditions.

It may be legal to call it "an Ubuntu derived system" or "Ubuntu-compatible OS" or something like that, depending on a bunch of stuff; but if you want to make something that's almost-but-not-exactly-Ubuntu and call it Ubuntu, then it's a very risky decision.
Only one process can have a SQLite database file open for writes at a time. Multiple processes/threads can read, however.

That's about it. I'm hesitant to describe it as an "issue" with concurrency because that has connotations that it's a problem with SQLite that the authors should address. Rather, it's part of the simplicity that is a key design feature of SQLite.

As SQLite's own documentation[0] says, it doesn't compete with client/server databases like Oracle/Postgres/MySQL - it competes with fopen() (edit: not a system call, see below), hand-maintained serialization/pickling formats, etc.

SQLite is designed to handle power loss at bad moments (indeed, anything that calls itself a "database" ought to be resilient against power failure).

I'm on the board of the amateur radio club at my university. It's incredibly difficult to attract students to the club. I think it's less a problem of an age gap and more a problem of the opportunity cost from tinkering with transceivers and not, say, strongly typed programming languages.

Yeah. QuakeWorld was one of the first games, at least the first popular one, to do client side prediction (which you can call "optimistic updating" if you want to up your buzzword score). The thing is, as Carmack mentions, it's a rather inelegant thing, which is probably why more games didn't implement it earlier. Well, that and the lack of common internet access.
Ha! That's hilarious. I'll add something like that, with slightly more polite language. :)

I may be imagining things but I seem to recall that at one point you had to build your own SQLite to get safe concurrent writes, but that was made the default years ago.
I meant KeePass http://keepass.info/ writing about browser integration (in my case I run it on mono), not the KeePassX. KeePassX is a very simple app in comparison with KeePass, so I prefer KeePass over KeePassX.
32 bit ARM has been supported from the start. As others have mentioned the 32bit Intel Macs do not support the latest OS versions anyway.
This is really two things in one - a solar plant, and an energy storage system. Couldn't we decouple them? I.e. when electricity is cheap (Germany during the day can dip to zero), heat up the salt, and discharge it at night (actually, in the evening, when electricity is most expensive).

Also, I wonder how it compares to big batteries?
Israel has also been a long-time user of solar water heaters. According to this article, about 1 million households for a population of 8 million use them.

I believe it's because of the large temperature range between solid and gaseous phases, there is a ~800 degrees Kelvin difference between the boiling and melting points, which at a specific molar heat of 29 J/mol/K is greater than the energy to heat water to boiling for a ~100 degree difference at ~56 J/mol/K

This assumes that compositions of unexploitable contracts are themselves not exploitable, which isn't true in general.

My bet it's the trust/'brand' thing rather than monetization - allowing anyone to make 3rd party modifications to your product and passing it off as the original/pristine version is a bad idea in any market. Heck - even Mozilla ran into this with Debian when Debian was maintaining and applying their own parallel patchset on top of Firefox. Debian snarkily called their version 'IceWeasel'[1]

John Carmack is actually a wizard. Like, really. It may sound like I am being an annoying fanboy, because I am, but my opinion of him is entirely justifiable given what he's done. His code is pretty clear, apparently, as well.
So do many other countries, anything on the subtropical ridge would have quite a bit of desert and get allot of sun, the size of your desert doesn't have much impact on your ability to generate solar power.
The pattern I've seen on a recurring basis is:

1. You need a query that can't be handled by your ORM, since in general ORMs can't expose all functions of a database. (This condition is also met if you have no ORM.)

2. You need a query that is going to have a varying number of parameters, so you need to manually assemble the query.

When that happens, there's a temptation in almost all systems to try to write the moral equivalent of:

sql_query = "WHERE condition = '" + param1 + "'
if something:
sql_query += " AND other_thing = '" + param2 + "' "

and so on and so on. This is where I see most of the SQL injection, even in language communities that have otherwise thoroughly internalized the need for query parameters (for example, perhaps surprisingly, the Perl community for a very long time).

Programmers who are not really fluent yet and are still having to think about every line either don't think about, or are trying to avoid the complexity of,

sql_query = "WHERE condition = ?"
params.append(param1)

if something:
sql_query += " AND other_thing = ? "
params.append(param2)

are the source. This pattern is, broadly speaking, safe. But it has just that extra bit of the sort of complexity that a lot of programmers shy away from. (As opposed to the sorts that programmers almost seem to chase, like "adding 15 boolean parameters to a function over the course of a year".)

There's also usually a library in the target language that is a pretty good reflection of SQL that avoids this problem (such as SQLAlchemy in Python), but I think that most people consider this "too complicated".
Please don't invoke the tired and ridiculous "URL:physical address" metaphor. A moment's thought is all that's required to see how dumb it is, every single time it comes up. In real life, one host sending another host a packet is nothing like physically breaking into a house. Houses have many purposes other than the distribution of leaflets. In fact, those physical entities actually designed to distribute leaflets are much more like internet hosts than houses are. No one ever got thrown in FPMITAP for taking one of each of the hundreds of different tourist brochures at a highway rest stop.

There was an article recently about obd2 scanners recording information such as throttle application, brake pressure, etc and after recording information for 15 minutes could determine with X% accuracy who was driving and after 60 minutes of data, could fingerprint who was driving with 97 (or maybe it was 100%?) Accuracy.

Pretty interesting stuff
>Also less deaths doesn't necessarily mean healthier

Especially in youth where accidents are the leading cause of death.

Better use of helmets, seat belts, and life jackets could be the cause of reduced mortality, even while health declines.

This is really good news for women (and men in long term relationships with women). The amount of hoops you have to jump through to get birth control is ridiculous. Have you ever been in a planned parenthood? It's basically the DMV (with an equal level of cleanliness). Women have to make at least yearly visits to this place to get absurd and intrusive medical evaluations just to get the pill.

Birth control should be over the counter, full-stop.
I think Field Day is more of a US thing. It is really setup around an official contest put on by the ARRL, which gives extra points for operating off-grid, or portable. There are no extra points for international (DX) contacts during Field Day operation though, as opposed to some other contests.

But for Amateur Radio in general, it is a very international organization, with widely different areas of interest.
Eh. I think it's more interesting that this predicted and explained an intent to implement pretty much everything that modern gaming services like Steam provide. Save voice chat and achievements, obviously.
I use screen because tmux forces me to explicitly define quick bindings for each binding where I don't want to lift my finger before pressing the letter. So, where I can write `C-a c` in screen without taking my finger off the keyboard, I have to explicitly add `bind-key C-c new-window` in tmux.conf for this. Otherwise it's not as ergonomic as in screen, and now I have to do configure this for each key I use, which granted isn't that many, but still it's a nuisance without a good justification. Tmux is fine for me if I ignore that. But some people miss certain screen features in tmux, so it's fair to mention that as well.
The point was not that events shouldn't be organized, more that they are occasional and other camera use are as important.

You are right that some people don't care about better intelligence, but the response to Google Photos is big enough to also show that having a huge engine to work with one's photo is valuable.

Being able to do searches like 'receipt' or 'ikea' or 'parking' and have actually relevant results is both mind blowing and extremely convenient, and I haven't heard of anyone who didn't wish Apple would have even half of the feature Google photos have after trying it for a few days. I also made the jump and the device's photo library has become a mere backup of my photos.

Going further, I agree with the author that if quick (or even auto) tagging of photo was easier it would help a lot.

Btw, I don't know how much Lightroom improved on iOS, but it always felt like a hassle to get photos into it. The same could be said for desktop version. I'd select a few important shots and do whatever it takes to have them in Lightroom, but there's no way I'd use that as my primary photo manager, and I feel that those "serious" people also have a different managing system that doesn't rely on Lightroom (I remember articles about pros manually filtering in folders and backups before even starting lightroom)
Agreed. I have tens of thousands of digital photos from the past 12 years of my life, all of which I uploaded to Google's online photo service. It has the cool ability to search for pictures based on content (e.g. sunsets, dogs, specific people, among many other things) and it is organized by date. I love looking back on my life in pictures. Even the most mundane photos can stir up delightful memories. With massive amounts of storage available on the cheap, I rarely delete photos.

I have been on two different types, Prozac, which didn't work that great and now am on Lexapro. Works wonders. Only way I can describe it, it's like feeling normal again. Once it works, it makes you feel like normal, not like a high or anything just normal. With the capability of doing everything again. Didn't realize how bad it was until I took lexapro and came out of my fog.

Photovoltaics and batteries are a possibility, electric cables are still cheaper than ethernet ones and when you have to wire such a large surface area those costs probably add up.

Wifi also allows technicians to connect to which ever devices that they are monitoring more easily and if they will have wifi for easy onsite access they might just as well pull everything over wifi.

It's quite common these days to pretty much run industrial monitoring over wifi it reduces quite a bit of costs as the technicians can just come with a smartphone or a tablet and connect to the web interface or use some dedicated diagnostic app it's much cheaper than sending them out with laptops and connecting directly or having them to use even more expensive dedicated diagnostic equipment.

I've tried to switch to tmux a few times over the years, but the command line options and keybindings never stick in my brain. My fingers keep wanting to use the screen options. So, I always go back. I probably should just figure out how to make screen do what I want (scrolling back in history is probably the biggest one, and I know I had figured it out in the past...but my current systems don't have it working, I don't think, or I don't remember the incantation to do it). I wish screen worked more like a normal terminal session, is what I'm trying to say, and tmux seems to be closer to that ideal without configuration or learning new ways to do things. But, my muscle memory wants screen.
>The power relationship a cashier has with his hiring/firing manager at a grocery store is not materially different to the relationship a software developer has with his hiring/firing manager.

I disagree.

>In both cases the managers' job is to keep the workers in line.

While I agree with this part, I think the differences in the pay of the worker makes for a hugely different power dynamic. a period of unemployment is a lot easier to take if you can live on 1/4th of what you get paid.
I played Quake at the time on dial-up with an approx 250ms - 350ms ping. I believe the majority of players preferred quakeworld, but I always felt it was a regression on vanilla Quake net play. Vanilla quake was slow, but the world felt "real". Your position, enemies, rockets, doors etc. were where they were, and you could react based on that. Quakeworld added prediction, and more client side processing. As a result, you could no longer depend on things being where they were - the enemy you just saw run around that corner did not run around that corner, and instead fired a rocket in your face. You are dead but your client hasn't got that packet yet.

Well, the master server idea kinda died (partly for technical reasons, i.e. authentication was hard, and the server kept dropping because of unreliable networks, and partly because people stopped wanting to play, afraid every game would drop their score) , so it wound up just being a better Quake network client. But that was still pretty revolutionary.

My father introduced me to amateur radio at a young age. I got my license as a teenager.

I play with a mode of communication called Earth-Moon-Earth, or EME. The idea is to bounce signals off the moon and have them get picked up by a pre-arranged partner back on Earth. It feels cutting-edge.

Were more people exposed to such off-the-wall applications of ham radio, I think there'd be a resurgence in the hobby.
This is neat.
