My roommate in College built a site with 0.96 of Django. It’s still running.

I think it’s one of if not the longest running commercial Django websites.
I think the definition for cause you're using is heavier than the definition I'm using.

This is probably because religions have traditionally framed extra-universal things as ordering events inside the universe, but it seems that is not possible if you exit spacetime.

In other words, branes, strings, gods, or anything we discover could, in my definition, "cause" reality to manifest without a temporal cause/effect coupling.

Perhaps I need a better word to remove the cause/effect temporal baggage
Why would anyone consider it obsolete to begin with ?

Image-based programming systems fell into disuse because they were harder to deploy, and because you had to run them in order to inspect their contents.
Not really no true Scotsman. Opinions are sent in by people to be published in a part of the newspaper that is not actually affiliated with the newspaper's staff, and Forbes is famous for selling article space to PR.

It's not changing the goalposts to point out that these are not journalists, and they themselves would not call themselves journalists.

Using the true scotsman example, this is more like you brought me an example of a welsh person in Scotland.
There's also no particular reason that those two groups should be assumed to be disjoint.

In the current web dev world, "not the hip new paradigm of the past 3 years" == obsolete in some people's eyes, sadly.
I don't have a good comprehensive write-up, but the code is here: https://github.com/ocdtrekkie/HAController The README describes the modules which should give you some idea of what it's designed to do. It's built in Visual Basic and also designed to run my home automation system. It is janky and while I wouldn't mind someone else using it, I wouldn't exactly recommend it. :P

In the car, I run an Intel NUC on the floor of my car, and the display I use is an Adafruit serial backpack-based unit (https://learn.adafruit.com/usb-plus-serial-backpack/overview) inside a plastic enclosure along with a small USB hub and the GPS receiver. The enclosure's attached to my dashboard using the same 3M strips available for IPASS/EZPASS devices.

My first question is always "what do you want to do?" What frustrations do you have, what would make your life easier to automate? A lot of times it is less than you think.

Then how about “GPL with the static linking exception” (used by glibc, which is statically linked by zillions of non-open softwares).

AFAICT, that license comes down to “You only need to publish changes to our GPL code, not your own code that uses our code”. So, it’s non-viral.

They aren’t the same though. Flow’s type system is nominal, typescript’s is structural, which is a huge language difference.
> True leadership says that we need to work toward fixing the problem, while selfish ambition says, "not my fault, not my problem."

The sad reality is that in the other hand, thanks to the ever present tragedy of the commons, there are selfish people that take advantage of this thinking "someone will fix it, doesn't matter if I contribute to the problem for my own benefit".

Possibly literally.

It's not a healthy way to live, and I don't think it's one particularly backed by the evidence. In terms of threats I think are likely to impact me over the next twenty years, I still rate "governments instituting stupid economic policies" well over "environmental catastrophe". You look around the world and that's something that happens a lot more often than, say, a port closing or a city being abandoned because of rising seas. There's a nontrivial chance they'll both combine and we'll get stupid economic decisions made because of unjustified panic about environmental issues.

Yes, I'm sure the Russian government has some level of activity on 4chan and may attempt to influence their discussion, and in turn they may also pick up some ideas from 4chan. But if by not disjoint you mean that /pol/ is somehow being paid by the Kremlin in a general sense, then that's almost definitely not even close to true.
Hmmm.

There is the set A. It contains all elements except itself.

There is a subset of A called P, which is all possible things.

There is a subset of P called M, which is all things that manifest in reality.

Traditionally we call elements of M "things that exist (or did exist or will exist)"

You're saying that P=M?

I find that position extraordinary and lacking evidence.

I don't see how this is an elephant in the room or a conversation we can't have right now. Lets.

What, besides providing extra resources to underpriveleged children so they are not punished for their parents mistakes, can be done?

Are you suggesting we make their parents "pay" somehow? Or a program to prevent the parents from having 5+ kids when they don't have the resources?

Yes. I wonder what's the future of Flow (even if it's still used and maintained). As I posted in another topic about TS:

> It's kind of crazy that Facebook has let TypeScript takes so much market share.
I've been using Flow for so long now. The techno is good, the integration with the code editors is good too, but Flow has a lot of small-but-really-annoying bugs (2235 issues on GitHub right now), the type definitions for third-party libs are meh (you often have to update/fix the definitions by yourself), the team seems extraordinarily unstaffed for such an important project, they don't share the roadmap at all, the priorities are clearly internal first (like improving the performances instead of fixing the bugs) and they don't seem to do much marketing or communication about it.

> I'd love to still recommend Flow, and as I said the techno is good and does the job, and they continue to release new versions, but I just don't see what benefits you would get by choosing Flow over TS at this point. Flow and TS do exactly the same job, with almost the same syntax (with different ways to transform it in JS tho), but TS has a bigger community and MS seems to put more efforts/resources into it. This has been true for 1 or 2 years now, so…
Should this be flagged due to the paywall?
Newer kernels also have the copy_file_range syscall (with compatibility shim in glibc) which is supposed to use the most efficient copying approach available between any two file descriptors. So it's more general than splice or sendfile.
Not to mention, for a lot of these companies that pay well, your position will be replaced by someone who is likely in a worse situation than you who could not afford to quit even if they wanted. Net result, an employee that is less likely to complain or leave when things start going off the rails.

Sometimes (not always) it's better to try effecting change from the inside.

> There is no proof humans are causing doomsday levels of climate change through CO2 emissions

Not true at all. We have plenty of evidence that humans are causing the rise of C02 emissions. Just simply look at the C14 (Carbon 14) and C12/13 (Carbon 12 and Carbon 13) ratios in the atmosphere. These give a clear signal what is causing the rise of carbon and where the carbon is coming from.

> People should not just accept what these people say as gospel, we have had 30-40 years of doomsday warnings from these people

Yes, and right now, the predictions from the credible scientists are showing to be true. Their predictions were not end of the world in 30-40 years, but we would start to see the effects of climate change, and we are starting to see the effects of climate change.
Are there people going around saying that Django is obsolete? I've seen a lot of people argue against using Django in favor of RoR or Flask, but that's usually based on personal preference. I've never seen anyone say that it's "obsolete".
Quick look at Google's Kaniko
It looks very similar to the Vue plugin system, which is one of the nicest parts about using Vue.
I don't understand why this is built on OpenSSL. I looked (not carefully! Very quickly!) and it looks like most of the cgo calls just hit OpenSSL's bignum interface. But Go already has a decent bignum interface, and for that matter curve implementations with rudiments sufficient to build additional curve support. A Go crypto library with an OpenSSL dependency is somewhat un-idiomatic.

What does OpenSSL provide that Go doesn't have? I'm asking because I'm sure there's something (or you wouldn't have done this), and I'm curious.
People like that I find are less good than they think they are. Personally i've found people who are really great at things are more than willing to help someone learn if they're interested, try and capable of learning. I've had more than a few people help me in life like that, sometimes, from what I could tell, with no real benefits to themselves.

I've tried to be like that with people i've helped learn and you really do get a good feeling seeing someone improving at something because of skills you taught them and for me personally, I find teaching others helps cement knowledge in your own mind and helps give you some concious practice at things you have likely been doing by muscle memory for a while.
Private companies are ultimately run by people. People who make moral and ethical decisions every day.

Using a private company to earn an income and then saying "I can't do anything about [bad thing company is doing], companies are by their nature amoral profit chasing beasts" is moral cowardice.

If you work for or with that evil entity, you can do something about it. That it would impact your comfortable lifestyle is not really relevant to the moral calculus.

The only thing that will make things better is many people individually doing the right thing.
> At some point, though, personal responsibility has to come into play.

It actually doesn't. Everyone is a responsible as they're capable of being, given their genetics and their environment. If you're a very responsible person it's because you were fortunate to have your particular genetics and/or environment.

Some people are born into terrible environments but have the genetic luck to be highly responsible. Some people are born into great environments but have the genetic misfortune to be highly irresponsible.

No one chooses to be responsible or irresponsible.

The onus is on the genetically/environmentally lucky people to help the unlucky ones. There's absolutely no shame in being unlucky and no pride in being lucky. There isn't much the lucky people can do to improve genetics (yet) but there's a lot that can be done to improve environments.

Yes, and that was partly the point all along: to spread FUD about people being Russian agents, events being Russia-manipulated, and ideas being Russia-propagated. Russian intelligence has surely succeeded on that front.

The rational people out there aren't throwing around any such accusations, though. Instead, they rely on the documented instances of proven Russian trolls, as uncovered by law enforcement, the intelligence community, and Facebook and Twitter's security teams. Accusing an account of being on the Kremlin's dime is pretty absurd without forensic evidence. Very obviously, the vast majority of pro-Trump accounts out there are either organic, or not organic but operated by Trump-supporting US nationals.

> So I'm neither expecting syncopation here nor am I noticing anything unusual there.

I'm not either, but that doesn't have anything to do with the point. The point is that their classification model has Lennon staying on the same note, and that happens with "The Word" if you give the importance to the highly stressed note (which, as you point out, is on the downbeat). But, partly because the stressed notes are surrounded by other notes, they are assigning the melody to McCartney.
That's such a dope picture.

> QEMU ought to be as vulnerable as VirtualBox/VMWare to this problem.

In the GPU passhthrough scenario, the host OS GPU drivers are not involved, and this exact problem won't occur.

But it's another question how well the GPU is isolated from the host system using mechanisms like IOMMU. To shield against attacks like manipulating host memory from code running on the GPU.

Correct about Fusion.js being based on koa. We find that this fits really nicely within the plugin system. The diagram is complex, but we inject the render phase into the middleware stack. Everything before `await next()` is pre-render, and everything after `await next()` is post-render. It makes it very easy to reason about the lifecycle of a plugin, as everything is in one place.
The fact that she is an expert in bankruptcy and commercial law should make you extremely skeptical of her economics credentials. She spends her time in that domain, not the domain of macroeconomics.
The docs do say: "Finally, WireGuard is cryptographically opinionated. It intentionally lacks cipher and protocol agility. If holes are found in the underlying primitives, all endpoints will be required to update."

ECDH 25519 will fall like a house of cards to a capable quantum computer. Since Wireguard is already entirely DJB, the introduction of a tiny bit of agility with one of Bernstein's submissions (Classic McEliece, NTRU Prime, Post-quantum RSA-Encryption/Signature, and SPHINCS+) seems far from unreasonable.

On the other hand, I'm on Oracle Linux, so I get a new kernel about once a week anyway. Swapping out might not be that traumatic for me, since I can ksplice it into critical systems.

Android, however, cannot do that.

p.s. ...after further reading, Wireguard does have optional, pre-shared symmetric keys. This isn't an ideal solution, but it's something anyway.

"In order to mitigate any future advances in quantum computing, WireGuard also supports a mode in which any pair of peers might additionally pre-share a single 256-bit symmetric encryption key between themselves, in order to add an additional layer of symmetric encryption."
We've actually had more than 100 years of doomsday warnings, that doesn't mean "nothing happened" if each warning is for a specific set of dates. If I say, "There will be a fire in your house in one year" and then in six months I say, "There will be a fire in your house in half-a-year" that doesn't mean my prediction should be devalued.
