This is not a security feature, and should not be relied upon.
For example, unelevated users can run the following command:
'PS> Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process' to allow script execution in the current powershell process.

Also, you can pass complete powershell scripts over the command line which bypasses the script restriction (because you can just input your entire script over the command line).

This is done with the -E (-EncodedCommand) flag. Which takes a base64 encoded string with statements separated by semi-colons.
Is optional typing the same thing as gradual typing in Perl6 as in you can specify types, but don't have to?

The most recent version of software. I've found CentOS, in particular, to have ancient versions of software in the repos. EPEL helps, but it only goes so far.

> I find KDE with a few adjustments fine for most things and Gnome Shell seemed fairly intuitive after a year on dwm

I tried out KDE recently. Maybe it was an old version. It reminded me a lot of oldschool classic Mac OS. Easy to find things, but things don't have a lot of features or options. Gnome Shell... it's okay and there's a ton of under the hood options. But there's practically zero way to access them without either insider knowledge of what to configure and where, or else having to go install even more software.

I'd rather an exploit stay secret so there's a chance that someone doesn't use it against me, rather than telling everyone the exploit and hoping someone fixes it fast enough.

Disclose it to the company, and give them a hard time limit.
True, I just wanted to point that those supposed "morals" aren't much to write home about either.

How I read the comment: western countries have morals, but they put them aside because of greed and ignore them when China does something bad.

The spirit of my answer: what morals? The western countries have done all that and much worse for centuries (not just ignoring morals when a valuable ally does something bad, but actively doing bad themselves). It's not some momentarily lapse of morals that just applies to this particular case.

That matches up with my initial impression as well. I'm coming from Fira Code, which I've been using for a while now and really love. The glyphs are noticeably wider, but to be honest, after using Iosevka for the last half hour or so, I'm kind of enjoying the compactness.

It's the first narrow typeface I haven't rejected immediately for writing code. I ran into what looks like some issues with certain ligatures not being substituted, but that looks to be an editor-specific issue. They're fine in Terminal and vim, but Atom had some issues with some (e.g., <--> <*> <.> and others along those lines). I will say that Fira Code seems to have a more diverse set of ligatures,[0] though some of them--the equality glyphs in particular--were annoying at times because they were such a visible change over what you actually typed.

If a particle has no charge, then it is possible for it to be its own antiparticle, but it is not necessarily so. [....] The neutron, on the other hand, is neutral but is distinct from the antineutron.

The neutron is only electrically neutral, there are also weak isospin and color charge. Antimatter is not only concerned with electrical charge but with charges in general. In case of the neutron and antineutron this becomes obvious if you compare the quark content of both.
See Fred Pohl's Jem.
If you do about it that way, everything is a political issue, which is the same as saying you will never ever be able to get anything done period — which is not really helpful.

Here's the paper where Anderson explained his discovery of the positron: http://fermatslibrary.com/s/the-positive-electron

It's quite tractable, and even has cool cloud chamber pictures of the trails of the objects claimed to be positrons ("Positive electrons," at the time.)

I often hear the meme that the burden of proof lies on the person making the extroardanary claim, where I assme the "extraordinary" side is chosen by the ambient culture. This might be fair, but people should stop sticking to it with such fervor - the entire point of the scientific consensus is that there is lots of evidence for it lying around. It shouldn't be hard to find a little to share.

Also, I'd like to point out that philisophical debates are the only environment in which idealism (or even social constructivism of science, for that matter) can survive! ;) If you are going to take the time to have a discussion, it will be more fruitful to educate, and share the (very interesting!) reasons behind the theories that we spend so much time studying.

Every language has its warts, but C is a pretty small language when it comes down to it. Compare that to just the number of different ways you can expand a parameter in bash:

https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Shell-Par...

That's the sort of thing that turned me off. I still tend to avoid those nooks and crannies, although they are sometimes useful. I'm not an expert.

I'm not sure about Unix shells being inspired by C semantics. I actually started out on csh or tcsh, I forget which, two decades ago. I'm not sure that making a shell language "C-like" is a useful goal, and those two shells both fell out of favour because they have many flaws. I switched to bash quite quickly.
Does the parser reject it? That's the test for syntactically valid c.
There is no stop the world point. There are compilation threads always running in the background patching hot code.

In Java 8 tiered compilation became the default. After a first threshold is reached, a method or loop will be compiled as a first approximation with further record keeping. At the second threshold, a more aggressively optimized version without record keeping will be put in place. This is kind of like the merging of the old C1 and C2 compilers into one to help get up to speed quicker.

When you want to measure this stuff you use JMH, Java Microbenchmarking Harness, an amazing piece of work that will warmup the JVM before executing performance tests. Be very careful writing your own Java timing code, and for the most part rely on JMH.
So then the Linux kernel is exactly a big and important project that intentionally depends upon UB, which is what you asked for right?
I've been down exactly the rabbit hole you're speculating about, and my firm conclusion is: python is not a shell replacement. [update: some other posters here are referring to xonsh. Maybe they succeeded where I failed, and python can be done shellable. Will be looking into this.]

* Python does strange things with IO buffering. Just when you think you've nailed all the edge-cases of this, some more come along. Its decisions are good for a general-purpose programming language, and awful for a shell.

* Python is awkward for some close-to-the metal operations such as interaction with unix sessions and process groups.

* Python forking is wacky. There's magic in there, and there's some stuff that gets inherited under the cover. If you fork and don't immediately execv, you are probably in for Interesting Times.

When I looked at the code for Ansible, I felt a bit like I'd encountered a rival alien civilisation who had tested and reacted to the same laws of the universe, and reached identical conclusions. Ansible is written in Python. But it generates bash scripts, and then bash does dispatch.

Given the power of general-purpose languages we have on unix, it's remarkable how stunted shell evolution is. Which is to say, there is an exciting opportunity here.

A shell built as a Forth dialect could be a game-changer. It would have a certain number of powerful builtins. It may even evolve higher-level programming concepts. I am interested in further discussion towards this, and maybe a new github project, particularly a collaboration with someone with high fluency in Forth. I'm in London: beers.

The art of a good shell would merge (1) fluid interaction; (2) effective wrapping of the unix API; (3) high-enough-level programming.

Richard Stallman Explains Everything
I don't know much about Perl, but this describes Dart's approach to optional typing:

https://www.dartlang.org/articles/language/optional-types

(But meh, it's not really innovative/new as this page says, just not popular.)

Basically, it's a language that allows you to choose the level of type checking. You can be super strict all the time, or only when it matters. Or not at all.

Like all other modern languages it naturally has the basic collection data types built in so that you don't have to reinvent them.
Yes, the usual triple tap routine
Rephrased: "do you prefer 6% risk free, or investing with higher risk but potential for higher return?"

Given the choice today, I would take the first. It's such a high spread over today's US actual risk free rate (10 yr UST as proxy) that you'd have to guarantee generating the same ~3% spread over historical broad market returns (I.e. 9% or so) to justify passing up the 6%.

I've been playing this "brain training" game called Peak and one of the tasks is to memorize the names of some places that I don't even think actually exist. I struggled to remember it until I started mentally writing out each name. My finger, even though it wasn't moving, felt each word as it was written. I went from recalling approximately 80% to almost 100% of (so far) 9 places to remember.

In my opinion, the new opencv3 book is the way to go. It was released this past January.

Learning OpenCV 3: Computer Vision in C++ with the OpenCV Library

That's a great book to learn opencv in c++, but you are probably going to pay for it, since it's so new.

If you are looking for a free alternative, you can learn opencv3 from the Python tutorials, then learn the c++ side from the documentation.

Opencv 2.x is very translatable to opencv3.x, so I'm pretty sure learning opencv from older tutorials would still be a great option also.
I remember all too well. Sun had mindshare at the time too, in a way that the far bigger IBM didn't. I'm just glad none of the 4GLs won
I was also struck with the similarity to procedures in aviation. During the checklist you frequently call out the item (aloud), and then check it while either pointing at it or touching it.

This also reduces the temptation to rush and just say "check" and assume it's ok - most of the time it is ok, of course, but the point is to actually look and check and make sure. If you do all the "work" of actually finding the control and touching it, you might as well look and check that it is set as expected.

As a further side effect, this also re-inforces "muscle memory": you don't need the alternate air valve or the fuel shutoff valve very often - but if you actually touch it (and even open/close it) before every flight, then you will find it quickly and without much thinking in case you do need it.
I'm not saying that, I'm saying there is no evidence either way.
Thanks for those links, I think I will enjoy them. I was actually thinking about Forth as well when I was writing those comments about functional programming. I'll be interested to read your take on it.

There's something fascinating about this sentence, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is.
Yes! Emphatically yes! Particularly in the security community this has become quite a problem. People will report on stuff and make claims without actually doing the research and it contributes to some very bad practices over time as things which are factually untrue become accepted as fact.

Some people just don't take kindly to being tricked.
Ah, yes. The old upside-down-tomato-sauce-can-next-to-the-door-to-remember-my-umbrella trick.

That's always been a classic.

The first couple of times I tried it, it didn't work very well. I was trying to leave in the morning, and I tripped over the can, and I was all, "Who the fuck put a can of tomatoes in front of the door?" And I kicked it out of the way and left without my umbrella.

Then I realized I wasn't going deep enough. You have to open the can of tomatoes and put the open top on the floor. You have to do it fast or it spills.

The next morning, I tripped over the can and knocked it over. And now there was slippery tomatoes all over my floor in front of my door. So of course I slipped in it and fell down, hurting my elbow and head more than I wanted to at that time of the morning.

So at this point, I decided that I could just work from home. After I cleaned up the upside down tomatoes.

The moral of the story is that, no, I didn't remember the umbrella at all. But! I no longer needed it.
As a hockey player, I never understood why referees would point to each goal, calling out each goalie's existence before the game. This helps explain it.
Yep, let me clarify, it is never OK to loose money due stupidity, not knowing what you are doing, praying the market will turn around, etc.
If you have a proper risk management and investing strategy, yes, you will have many periods and trades where you are going to loose money short term, but you'll be confident that you'll make the money back + more, because you did back test everything and you have the proof your strategy works...

Your bullshit detector is hopelessly broken. At a certain point, these "mathematical simulations" (i.e. effects observed in a laboratory) end up having real world applications. Anti-matter has already crossed the threshold of being "effects observed in a laboratory" to actual applied science. Hospital PET scans use anti-matter regularly for brain scans. [1]

It's more than just paying attention: if the conductor can line their finger up with the zebra board for their train, they've guaranteed that the train is completely within the station. Opening the doors where there is no platform is one of the few fireable offenses (others include using a phone on the job). The zebra boards have the train model written on them -- in this case, R160 [1]. While it would be easier for the driver to just stop the train at the very end of the platform, this would be pretty inconvenient for passengers on the end of the platform when a shorter train rolls in.

Analysts might not, but it could be used as "proof" for the less knowledgeable (e.g. politicians).

The fact that this paragraph[0] exists on the Stuxnet wiki is telling:

> Some have also referred to several clues in the code such as a concealed reference to the word "MYRTUS", believed to refer to the Myrtle tree, or Hadassah in Hebrew. Hadassah was the birth name of the former Jewish queen of Persia, Queen Esther. [...] Also, the number 19790509 appears once in the code and might refer to the date "1979 May 09", the day Habib Elghanian, a Persian Jew, was executed in Tehran. Another date that appears in the code is "24 September 2007", the day that Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke at Columbia University and made comments questioning the validity of the Holocaust. Such data is not conclusive, since, as written by Symantec, "Attackers would have the natural desire to implicate another party" with a false flag.

I wonder if might see UI fashion go full circle and come back to this style at some point. The flat style of the past 5 years came in reaction to the over-rendered skeuomorphic look that had been growing out of control. But I feel like when I look back at what Windows and Mac OS looked like in the 90s, it almost feels fresh again. It doesn't attempt to look like a photo, it just uses very a simplified, graphical style of light and shadow to hint at affordances and visual hierarchy.

We have a similar solution to the 'did you feed the dog (yet)?' question (twice a day). In the morning after feeding we put the scoop next to the food dish, in the evening after feeding we put it back in the bag. That way either of us can easily tell whether it was done yet, without needing to ask. Works like a charm - the dog used to be able to trick us into feeding him twice but we no longer fall for his puppy-eyed shenanigans. :P

Wouldn't a good solution then be to run autoremove before installing a new kernel?

That way, you have kernel N running, first autoremove wipes kernels N-1 and older, then it installs kernel N+1, so that when you reboot into N+1, you'll always have known-good kernel N if it doesn't work.

It's a very similar solution to how a good programmer solves an off-by-one error, doing a shift/rotate shuffle on a for/while loop.
Since it is intended to be controlled from the computer only, there is fonctionally little benefit to install the client from another channel ("./gnirehtet rt" installs it if necessary).
