As a customer of both Cisco and juniper for many years, I can surmise based on experience of their software quality that Cisco has terrible automated testing, and Juniper has less terrible but still terrible automated testing.

Both vendors have a lot of legacy code, so this is somewhat expected. Arista started with modern kernels and used modern development practices from the start.
It was sarcasm. The jobs in key congressional districts would disappear if NASA was allowed to do what makes sense for an effective space exploration program. So congress has taken over mandating what NASA's goals should be, to make sure that their key constituents remain employed on government contracts.
Not sure what version you are using, but that is not how PowerShell does completion for me. If I type in `Get-Package` for example and hit tab, I get printed a grid of the possible completions. Then I keep typing until it's not ambiguous, at which point it will complete the whole command.
If there are hundreds of suggestions, it will ask if I really want to see them all.

I am running PowerShell 6.1.0 (which I think uses PSReadline). PSReadline is also very customisable, but this is the default behaviour.

I like the intent "Easy-to-Write, Easy-to-Read", but the contents from the README leave much to be desired. There are far too many corner cases which the README doesn't address (many already mentioned below), and I can think of more, like, how does a parser know "city: Halifax" as "key: Value" and not just value="city: Halifax"?

Even if a `spec` is created which clearly defines these cases and standardizes how they should be handled, does it qualify to be called CSV 1.1 (or 2.0? really, as it probably won't play nice with existing CSV 1.0 implementations). It is almost as-good-as creating a new format altogether. And there are many to complete with.

I also wonder if it REALLY solves the problems it aims to solve (even if the tech specs were in place). CSV in any form is not human-friendly. This is especially true when you have wide columns (say >30). Even if the records were spaced-out in a human-friendly way in STATE-1, editing records where values are of highly varying width (within a single column) will soon mess the justification when you get to STATE-2. If you skip the requirement for `fixed-number-of-fields` and `key:value` style named values; that messes readability (by humans) even more!

I've had good success with `reading` CSVs using the `csvtk` (https://github.com/shenwei356/csvtk). It provides excellent support for pretty-printing CSVs, filtering select fields etc. `writing` is still a pain, but I still feel spreadsheets are the way to go. They have been around for decades. Its sad if the formatting by specific tools is screwing CSVs, but, solving the composition/modification requirement purely by way of formatted-plain-text is a really tall ask.
What should put you off is people two and a half years later still wrongly ascribing this to systemd. And this even though, as noted at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11011399 , OpenRC had been doing the very same thing.

It wasn't a systemd thing. The people who relate the tale as if it were a systemd thing or something that the systemd people did are ill-informed. It was entirely a kernel thing. This was even stated outright at the time by the creator of that particular kernel mechanism.

Your argument is that banks don't have the will to fix security issues. The parent was arguing that security is hard and that the government is not particularly competent at it so is not in a position to define raised standards. You're not even having the same conversation.

It matters because the theory in this case wasn’t that both light and tennis balls behave like a particle. It was that light behaves like a tennis ball. As such, demonstrating that tennis balls succeed or fail to display certain light-like behavior is certainly an important result.

So, the most controversial aspect of pilot wave theory is the idea that a classical system can reproduce some phenomena considered only to arise in a quantum one. The 2006 result was important because it appeared to definitively prove a classical system could do just that, and for one of the most famously “weird” quantum results. How accurately it correlated with a hypothetical pilot wave based quantum reality wasn’t really relevant. And if the original result was important, then the failure to reproduce it is also important.

More generally, scientists can argue about theory, mathematics and the “deep” stuff until the cows come home. But what actually advances science is experiment. It may not always be the most glamorous or exciting work (CERN notwithstanding). It can be an expensive, years-log slog to add a single negative data point against an idea a theoretician dreamt up in an afternoon, and which they’ll dismiss as irrelevant, or avoid by tweaking a single equation. But it’s, quite literally, the part of science that gets results.
I find the constant use of "we" in these types of headlines rather off-putting. Who is this "we" you speak of?

It may be true that "As recently as 1999, it was commonly stated that babies could not feel pain until they were a year old ..." In fact, that is the actual statement in the Wikipedia article. It says nothing about "we" believing it.

It wouldn't be the first time I disagreed with a "commonly stated" belief, but I must admit I never heard this statement and a moment's reflection will show that this is a bold claim that would need some substantial proof before it could be believed.

In fact, if you go to the work cited in Wikipedia[1], you see:

> As late as 1999, it was stated that “[p]ain experience is placed at approximately 12 months of age” (66).

Checking that reference[2], we see in the abstract the statement

> Pain experience is placed at approximately 12 months of age, though this is within the context of a continuum of awareness rather than a straight ‘on‐off’ switch. The major moral implication of this stance is to place the burden of proof for analgesic use onto clinical measures, rather than relying upon the, so far, poorly supported assumption of pain awareness.

That last sentence indicates that the whole paper is written to argue against the assumption of pain awareness. On the basis of that snippet (I can't access the full paper), it looks like the assertion in Wikipedia is not valid, and your headline is even more misleading.

I don’t get the premise of this. On the one hand he’s making the assertion that government regulation is needed because consumers won’t pay for added security.

He then immediately goes on to say that in the past security breaches weren’t life threatening but now they are because refrigerators and cars are connected to the network.

Okay so people won’t pay more for security when it’s not life threatening but this time the threats are different, but people still won’t pay more. How does he know this if the threats are different this time?

Tbh though he lost me when he advocated for government regulation as the fail safe solution.

I wrote a program and successfully got the right answers experimentally for each case, so I'm not doubting the answers, but I don't buy the explanation.

While you may argue that one twin is always born first, this is an idealized mathematical problem, so it can't depend on particular details of physical reality in that way. There is nothing logically preventing them from being the same age, so it can't be pivotal to solving the problem.

And in fact, I experimentally got the right result without any reference to ages.

Maybe your problem is not sexism, but that your administrators are jackasses.

Clearly nobody thought she was relevant enough. You're saying she didn't have an article only because she's a woman, but you, Katherine Maher, don't show any kind of evidence of that. You just want to stir the pot. Fuck off.

The New York Times subscription price that they show everywhere is also only for an initial introductory period of one year. I can't actually find the real, non-introductory price anywhere, and I know others have commented that it's really deeply buried. It's amazing how sleazy the billing practices of the big publications are.
I'm very disappointed by this reply. This should have been a wake-up call about the deep sexism of Wikipedia, but this article seems to be spend most of its time saying it is other people's fault.

It is interesting there is a brief mention of a concrete measurable problem (Wikipedia articles for women talk about their divorces more), but there is no deeper introspection about the problem. The paper referenced is worth reading, it has many more details which deserve more attention from this article than picking out one specific data point.
And the fact that the artillery(and the navy) is way better at deploying standoff range munitions then any fighter will ever be is a big part of the F-35 problem. Is it’s designed to do a job the artillery is better.

The problem here is that the one role where manned planes still makes sense is the high risk low altitude visual range infantry support role the Air Force brass don’t like as it means they ave to plan for the same kind of casualty rates as the infantry tend to sustain.

In a lot of ways that unwillingness to put infantry first is why the us have not had a independent military success since the horse mounted cavalry went obsolete.[1]

Some of the more obscure stuff does end up lost entirely. This is more of a problem with digital formats, especially games, where copying is intrinsic to preservation. The arcade machines with self-wiping "DRM" systems are a particularly strong example. Most of the old Doctor Who episodes that have been recovered have been from copies that were not supposed to have existed.
Fair enough, but I bet Wikipedia also shows a bias toward English-speaking people - that is, I would assume that there are more articles on researchers who work in countries where English is one of the primary languages than on researchers from other countries.
> Liberal has a specific meaning where you leave people alone to do whatever it is they do.

Well yes, as the comment you're responding to states. I did mention 'historical' as I've been out of Aus for 10 years, and did say that "provided Labour hasn't changed like Labour UK has". It's entirely possible the landscape has changed, with hard left going Green, liberals voting Liberal, and social conservatives voting Labour. I'm out of touch, hence that proviso.
And how exactly are these organisations to make money, if not through ads?

I'm not sure what the article is trying to convey. The example is absurd. Maybe the decline of the article was part of the global conspiracy of the patriarchy. Or maybe the person who declined it just had a bad day. Or maybe the website where the sources needed were published just had horrible UX and the two editors who cared just gave up. Same with the "breastfeeding" example. No causality proven.

The rest of the article is just incoherent numbers and elevator talks of Wikipedia. What is the point of all this? Of course the Wiki mirrors the real world, that's its very purpose, right? I'm not sure what the suggestion is here. Over-represent the achievements of minorities to generate a pseudo-equality is a really bad "solution". I'm pretty sure a big player like Wikipedia can contribute to equality but I don't see any meaningful example for that in the article...
Supermicro boards were so bug ridden, why would hackers ever need implants?
So far we've managed to accelerate three probes to solar escape velocity using a lucky constellation of planets for gravity assists. Catching up with an object that has a 50 year head start seems very unlikely to me unless you assume very advanced propulsion systems, e.g. nuclear pulse propulsion or something similar. Even then catching up would take a very long time, longer than anything we built survived in space so far. How do you power a probe that's supposed to travel for fifty years give or take?
This is all true. Security is best implemented when it’s baked into an organization’s processes. The government barely has enough budget to pay for server space let alone invest heavily into dedicated security teams. Most work is handed off to outside private contractors but they are hamstrung by the same budget issues.

Security concerns are almost certainly best handled by private industry except in rare cases like national security or the public markets. For example if Boeing becomes known for being easily hacked and flying unsafe planes, how long do you suppose they’ll be around?

A company’s livelihood relies on the perception of being secure and they are well aware of this so the ones that want to succeed absolutely invest very heavily in security. A successful hack doesn’t mean companies don’t invest in security or that people don’t pay for it.

This matches my impression of Gatsby after a day with it. I bailed a bit more quickly than with Hugo, so I refrained from adding a Gatsby section to my already too long article. Also my main takeaway was “Gatsby is an overengineered mess from (and favored by) people who are already all-in on React and GraphQL and don’t realize the learning curve they’re asking others to climb to build simple sites”. Too categorical for something I’ve only spent a short day with, so I decided not to include it.

While I do know React well enough, when trying to work with local content I had to follow a tutorial that asked me:

1. To install 2 plugins
2. To copy-paste 3 different chunks of boilerplate code (configuration, the code that maps filesystem data into some kind of representation — maybe using GraphQL already, I’m not sure — and lastly the GraphQL queries to retrieve that data).
3. To personalize this boilerplate code, which requires me to learn GraphQL.

Other tools can do similar work without plugins, without having to learn a second language (GraphQL) separate from the core language that the tool is using (JavaScript), and without having to write code to feed content into a in-program representation yourself.

It could be that all this overhead is worthwhile because it enables you to do complex things. But from what I’ve read I wasn’t even sure that Gatsby could achieve my use case without me duplicating my information architecture as “feed content to the in-program representation” code, and I didn’t want to risk spending a second day only to find out that it couldn’t. (Your comments about tree navigation, as well as some of the GitHub issues I’ve read, suggest I was right to bail out.)

My actual takeaway is that Gatsby might be a good fit if you already know React and GraphQL (or already wanted to spend time learning those), and are working with remote content from a headless CMS and some other sources. But for local content only, unless you already know Gatsby or want to use that project to learn it, it’s needlessly complex and overkill.
Agree, but do anyone, for even a nanosecond, believe it isn't?

Looking at the images on that site, the trajectory doing a "fly by" of a lot of the planets did look remarkedly like the sort of thing we've being doing for decades in our own solar system [1]- line up a bunch of planets and use gravity slingshots to do a close fly-by to get a closer look.

The thought makes me have goose-bumps. Did some alient race just take a close look at us? Was there a voyager-style plaque on it? I guess we'll never know now.

Occam tells us that in reality it is most likely just some space debris from some ancient rock-smashing incident, but the fact that this thing continues to defy classification allows us some space to imagine!

What is probably unique to online advertising is widespread fraud by sites. If you run an advert on TV, radio, or in the paper, then their circulation will have been audited by third parties to ensure that they're actually reaching the audience they claim to be. There's no real equivalent to that online that doesn't involve tracking cookies. Without the real-time feedback, you have no idea if the ad you just bought is being shown to real readers, robots, or some hidden iframe on another site entirely.

Yes some things are, many things in fact have been lost forever.

Popular things where people simply ignore the law are often preserved, but that is not the case with obscure / less popular works or works where the create aggressively fights any archiving or preservation efforts.

>This is not one of the “greatest” travesties compared to

That depends on how you define Modern Civilization, and where you want to cut off the list of "one of". I do however think you down play the significance losing these works can have on our understanding of history, what actually took place, and to be able to study why some of those events occurred. If you do not believe that is a great travesty then I guess we will just have to disagree

It's surprising for me that this is new idea. Wind is the main thing trees oppose (besides gravity and each other). It should be first idea that this is the thing that shapes them.

This might be one of the cases when weird experimental "law" drives people away from the actual cause.

I always felt the same way about Kepler's laws. While they are true, you can't find in them any trace of actual reason why things are the way they are (conservation of energy and angular momentum in gravity field).
