Fortunately for ANSI CL the last freely available draft is language-technically not different from the published standard.

It's definitely also useful to have standards documentation lookup integrated into an IDE - which I use a lot for CL. Especially since there are versions in different formats (TeX, HTML, Info files, PDF, ...)

Technology is the mirror of humanity. We somehow don't like the face we see but we blame the mirror.

Not that google is spotless, but really that shit show is just a reflection of how poor our humanity is in the first place.
Hackintosh is not the only reason mac OS doesn't work well for me. It the system runs surprisingly well on many system, the problem is often mac OS itself. That said: It's better than Windows.
> The alternative business model that the world is moving to is Open Access. The difference being that instead of paying to access the journal or paper, the researcher or institution that wishes to publish pays up front to have the paper published.

Open Access is not a business model. It is about the Access, as the name says. The author pays is a business model, not the best one, and is the one with many problems.

See the Fair Open Access Principles https://www.fairopenaccess.org/ and the Publishing Reform Discussion Forum https://gitlab.com/publishing-reform/discussion/issues

> Open Access has its own problems, such as predatory journals, where researchers who don't know better or who are desperate to publish are more or less lied to as to the reach and validity of a journal.

This is not specific to Open Access, there are low quality subscription journals as well. No serious scientist would send articles to unknown journals without checking their credentials, whether the journals are open access or not.

I think Spotify's model would need to be slightly different to Netflix, I think they would still need to allow their artists music onto other platforms.

The need for them to be a record label is not for exclusivity, it is so they can operate as an equal partner. At the moment their entire business is based on negotiating deals with record labels, all Spotify can offer is revenue, so they will be squeezed and squeezed as each contract is negotiated and renegotiated.

Every artist that signs up to them will save them this cost in the long run... So I'm sure there'll be seemingly crazy deals like comedians have been striking with Netflix, which in the long run are will be very beneficial to Spotify.

Even if you hit roadblocks from time to time, the general cosmic-scale conversion of "dumb matter" to "computation capable matter" can only be... exponential. Imagine all matter in a planet the size of Earth converted to computing infrastructure, considering we're only living on a thin thin crust on it.

When the evolution of intelligence goes beyond the stage of slowly evolving (if evolving at all) forms like humans, "life" will spread like a plague through the universe and its only purpose will be to convert all matter into "shit that can run the software that is we"... Any intelligence with a different purpose will simply be eaten alive but those with this one.

Only the second law of thermodynamics can stop that, and even that only "works" the way we imagine in a finite universe (and despite out forced rationalization and intellectual masturbations our brightest were capable of, we have no reason to believe anything is anything but infinitely infinite, whatever that could even mean). And we can't even imagine how the evolution of information in infinite space and time could unfold, even with "local containment" via the "light speed limit"...

An no, we are not unlikely to model anything such complicated, we are almost sure not to... Because "the children" will awake much sooner that this computational power will exist, probably doing the right thing of terminating bio-humanity as it's so (computationally) wasteful, and remnants of us will only endure in "historical entertainment simulations" thinggies... (And this is the optimistic scenario anyway, in which post-human life would retain some human-type characteristics by virtue of "descending" from us. If an alien superintelligence reaches Earth first it might not even care to analyze us well before restructuring matter for its own purpose, so paradoxically, developing superhuman-intelligence-that-will-terminate-bio-humans asap is probably "humanity's best bet" of "not being completely forgotten" / "transmitting our memes".)

I've also gone over those lectures a couple of times. I'm not even sure why I started watching them, since I knew absolutely nothing about linear dynamical systems before hand, but it really changed my life! It taught me techniques that I now use all the time, and I think are very neglected within my field (data analysis/forecasting).

If your not familiar with it, it's an extremely versatile framework for modeling and analysis of all kinds of systems. It will give you new insights into linear algebra, time series analysis, stochastic models, Fourier analysis, Laplace transforms, and many other areas.

This guy is an exec and like all execs he is good for shallow view from 35,000 ft. He isn’t in the field and no one I know who is in the field seem to know even his name. I have zero clue on what is his contribution to the field let alone what kind of actual technical details he knows. As far as I have known these sort of people, they wear suits, memorize buzz words that their reports talk about and take credit of work done by their reports. Such “AI exec” hire is no-op in my book and it isn’t a surprise that Apple has to run PR articles to justify their purchase of a suit.

I played the Discworld MUD a few years ago, and I actually found it underwhelming in some aspects.

I came from having played a few IF (interactive fiction) games where the puzzling element is important. I was expecting to find the same kind of elements in Discworld and was disappointed.

For example there is a quest where you have to make the rat king go away from a house(or something like that); being a mage I found out there was a spell to kill vermin, so I leveled it up a lot and cast it on the rat king, it did kill it and it exploded into tiny bugs, but it didn't complete the quest.

The magic system seemed very cool and like it could have been used as a mechanic to solve quests and puzzles, instead that gave me the impression it was only meant for combat. (or making stuff for other players)

Another issue is how stupid the NPC's were (compared to IF games), I recall that a street urchin or other npc's couldn't even give you directions to streets. (directly asking like 'where is street').

Having said that I liked how huge the game felt, and the events that could happen with the interaction of the other players. For example dying in a river, being resurrected, and having them dive to get my stuff. Or following around a weird mage only to enter a portal he created and get eaten by crocodiles (oops)

It seems there's so much underdeveloped potential with these kind of games, if someone knows of a MUD that has more IF inspired mechanics with more emphasis on the puzzling I'd be happy to know.

How? Less gov limitations?

You cant have it both ways. Limits on government force are inverse to limits on it's people. The Bill Of Rights is a list of things we want to remember that the gov can never do (see it's preamble), it's a bit of a bug that it's called that. Gov is special, we _give_ it the ability to use violence to enforce the rules we set. Corporations don't get to use violence to enforce their rules (unless they buy the gov in a country without the 2ndA). It's a real difference. We are not forced to use a private service (which is why conservatives are so anti forced "health care"), nobody is required to use FB, or YT. Only confused (or ill) people think they are.

A properly functioning system of exchange regulates this via monetary physics. FB is going to be myspace sooner or later. People learn from their mistakes if they have the freedom to make them.
this looks... like F#?
Maybe. Who's at fault when the problem was inadequate resources to get the job done?

The front-line implementor grunts in engineering whose rushed code is directly at fault? Middle management who wanted to keep their jobs and so didn't bark back? Upper management under pressure who found out too late that they'd over-promised?

Distant, disconnected ownership focused on the bottom line? Consumers in price-driven marketplaces? Economic theorists designing stock markets which aggressively sever any sense of local responsibility and turn publicly held companies into uncaring machines? Whatever or whoever created this cruel hard world?

Who among all those needs to have their noses rubbed in it when end-users suffer?

Interesting is how to defend against this.

If you are a journalist wishing to protect your source, what tool could be used to process content such that the essence is left intact but the unicode zero-width steganography is stripped... replaced instead by the common space character.

I know enough to say that you cannot just search and replace, as many of the zero-width characters have a meaning in different languages and produce a visual effect when combined with other runes. Just stripping them all will break text in those languages.

Is there a method for removing zero-width whitespace such that journalist sources could be protected?
that's because you're using special fonts...

That section says:

> there's only one file opening, and while there is a potential race condition there, it's with /dev/console. If someone can exploit this race by replacing /dev/console, you've got bigger problems. :)

However, by reading the source one can see that you can now tell beep where it should direct its output (-e, which is not documented anywhere), so the note above is no longer accurate.

I would guess that this is the crux of the problem – the patch that fixes the security issue basically changes "open the output device once for each beep" to "open the output device on startup", greatly reducing the number of races. (It also zeroes out the buffer that's being written to certain output devices, but I have no idea if that is also to patch this security hole or to proactively prevent uninitialized bytes from leaking.)
Out of interest, where does the chain of command lie?

I've worked with people in the past that respect the chain o' command to such a degree that they will follow everything a more senior member of staff will say, but will both ignore and undermine what people on their level or below say. I've also noticed a trend where they will respect the "workers" of the office, but have little respect for Project Managers or anyone they don't perceive to be battling on the front lines.

In the past, a good way to get around this was to ensure that everything that needed doing was in writing. This way, everyone knew what was expected of them, and it was much harder for someone to be confrontational or condescending if any of this was in writing.

I think the difference between arbitrary code in buildfiles and an obscene zoo of plugins running arbitrary code is rather small in terms of actually understanding the build.

My takeaway from using both maven and gradle is that I would really love to have a build system with emphasis on allowing custom arbitrary code, but only within guiderails that force them into a shape that is easily factored into a plugin if you layer decide to do so. Maybe even with a defined reverse path for unboxing existing plugins back into their inline form (for when you absolutely need a fix/unexpected customization, but can't commit to fully maintaining the plugin)

Yes, but you're defining "observation" as some weird intra-wood process (, intra-silicon in the case of digital machines).

Observation means, for example, reflecting some light off the thing. Does a piece of silicon become transparent if I program it to model glass? No.

So, trivially, it is observed immediately not to be equivalent.

What you mean by "observation" is: can a person using the model system inform themselves of the target.

Do I get the message "lets visible light through: 98%" from the machine when I have correctly modelled the glass.

That message isn't observation, it's calculation. Calculation is what happens when I use a tool to inform myself about something.

That the machine emits the right symbols in a way that it is programmed to, so that I acquire accurate beliefs about the world, says nothing of the machine. The machine does not become transparent.

I run a production Rust web service. The speedup for this service over using slightly stripped Rails was only about 5x. As you said, you can gain like 50-100x performance improvements from not using the default Rails JSON serialization and skipping ActiveRecord.

After that, you're lucky to gain 5x performance from re-writing the whole thing in Rust. Most of the hot spots of serving web applications using Ruby are already written as native extensions.

I think Rust is fantastic. I'm writing a tinyrb like "Ruby" VM in Rust at the moment. But... it's just not worth the hassle for plugging web services together. Maybe if you're at Google scale and already have web services in C++ it'd be a good choice.

You don't have to model something as complex as our own universe. You only need to model something complex enough that the beings inside the model can't prove that it is a simulation.

I've heard a few times that the Cell wasn't all that bad in terms of performance, just very difficult to program. Not sure how true that is, but ostensibly the useability is just a tooling issue. Probably not a tooling issue that can be solved short-term though.
Sounds like (metaphysical) idealism.

The difference between idealism and realism here is meta-empirical. I would say idealism is false, and in fact, nothing is a model and everything is concrete.

To call the computer program a model is to say that when I look at it, I can use it to inform myself about the world.

It's an abstract property. The actual system in question is silicon and electrical current, etc. And thus shares nothing of interest with gold.
Not sure if you're aware of that but it's a joke page made as a parody of the recent "branded vulnerability" craze. I would definitely advise against running random scripts from joke pages, especially through sudo. In that regard notice the "TODO" line from the script:

I don't believe that the majority of people who buy 500€ PCs would spend money on Visual Studio.
In the Mac case, nobody pays for the compiler because Clang is open source - this is a massive oversimplification, but whilst the fact that Clang and Make are distributed in the standard OSX base install is a value add in my book, I don't believe that it's something that people pay for. Also, the people who buy Apple hardware are a completely different set of customers to those who buy 500€ PCs. However, this is all a bit moot as you and many others have pointed out that the community edition is out there and it is usable.
From the beep readme:

By default beep is not installed with the suid bit set, because that would just be zany. On the other hand, if you do make it suid root, all your problems with beep bailing on ioctl calls will magically vanish, which is pleasant, and the only reason not to is that any suid program is a potential security hole. Conveniently, beep is very short, so auditing it is pretty straightforward.
