“Resize” is an ambiguous term, so you may or may not have understood me correctly, I'm still not sure. My (primary) problem with PDF is that it doesn't adapt to displays of different sizes—mobile, electroink and tablet devices in addition to desktop machines—and can't be reformatted on a device (e.g. to adjust the author's typesetting choices).

Did you mean “zooming” the page in/out on the same device? That's not a big issue, in my experience: I zoom in on almost every page due to myopia, and rarely have problems. I adjust text properties on mobile devices too, namely in Pocket and e-book readers (which use HTML under the hood these days). Technically, HTML can be rendered with a rigid layout and just be zoomed in/out like a static image—it's a question of the client having this function, or, I think, can be done via a simple CSS property.

If that's still not what you had in mind, I'd like to know what you mean by “resize,” out of professional curiosity.
Well, I'm both a producer and a consumer of open source code.

> The programming field often feels like it's in a giant loop constantly re-discovering what went before.

It might feel that way, but this is driven by economics. Basically disk, memory, and bandwidth is far cheaper than it used to be so who cares if you waste a GB or so copying the same libraries all over if you don't have to solve for dependency hell?
Alternative perspective: after three hours without food during the day I begin physically shaking and have to fight an urge to curl up in a ball.

I can manage about seven hours sleep + a run first thing but I have to start eating as soon as I'm back in the house, and just keep grazing until 22:00
Back in college (early 90's) I would run ToneLoc overnight, and wake up to view the results. One time I had a hit, and I ftp'ed into some server on Mindspring's customer IP range.

A quick look at the system told me the root account had no password set. So I tried a telnet and wham - I was in.

A 'who' showed someone else was logged in. So I sent a broadcast message to them saying they need to secure their system better, and logged out.

I had the habit of using an obscure hotmail email to log into FTP servers, and had done that here. I was surprised to see an email from the owner - wanting to know how I found his system, etc. He was nice, but I didn't reply.
Part of it is the perpetual wishful thinking of nicotine addicts who think that since it is technically not smoking so they can do it anywhere. I recall radio ads billing this "benefit" even and speaking of the satisfaction of a "quitting smoking" device.
I'm probably a bad example because my setup is hilariously kludged together.

I use two circa 2007 30" Cinema Displays, so from the laptop it goes Thunderbolt 3 > Thunderbolt 3 Hub > Thunderbolt 3 to dual DisplayPort > 2x DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort > 2x Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI > Displays.

The upside is that my MacBook is connected to all that with a single cable that includes power. For peripherals I use bluetooth. When I travel I just carry that Apple HDMI/USB/power breakout dongle and it covers every situation I've found myself in so far.
Compared to other parts cost at the time, it certainly was.
It is nice to have the option to go with either path. I think it's a bit less relevant in the modern development world but it can also be nice to leverage dynamic linking to present several executable entry points that share a large pool of common logic between them.

> This is not take anything away from this project, just making an observation. The programming field often feels like it's in a giant loop constantly re-discovering what went before.

I think part of this comes from various tradeoffs becoming more or less important at different times. Processing power goes up so you move to fat clients, then people move to battery powered devices and heavy lifting makes more sense on servers again.
If math is invented, math is the union of thought, in relation to an objective measurement of reality, because the language expresses consistent and testable truths that can be observed and measured.

If math is discovered, math is the reality, that is tested against itself.

As for thought patterns and special ways of thinking - there's nothing wrong with nurturing an interest.

I think any thought patterns that exaggerate or minimize one's ability in math simply get in the way of doing math, eventually. Pure mathematics is done for itself. Applied mathematics is done for something else.

These things are so simple when they can cleanly be separated in descriptive rhetoric, but in the actual domains of math, they could not be more complicated.
I don't know 100% for sure, but I think this may have more to do with how many calories you're eating over time total vs how much you eat near exercising. A caloric deficit on its own will do all the things you've named regardless of feed windows, and I haven't experienced any of them while intermittent fasting. But I can't say for sure if I've ever had 2+ hours heavy exertion while doing IF.

I'm happy for you but this is a super privileged viewpoint that most people can't really learn from. I'd be happy too if I could just take a year off and do whatever I want. Most people can't do things like traveling to different cities and trying out a new place for 3 months. It's just unrealistic and only reflects and incredibly tiny population.

More importantly: has it really been the best thing you've done for your career? It sounds like you've had a great time but we don't know how this materially affected your career.

What about your sabbatical has made your career better now that you've done it? All I've seen is that you've open sourced a Hugo theme, read a few books, and you worked on a side project. Sounds like something plenty of people do with 40 hour workweeks.
I think it’s funny to use java as an example when jar files have been around forever. Still there are some use cases for other things where statically linking is not possible.

I wonder what benefits this has over other solutions? Originally when it said multi-platform i thought it meant that one binary could run on multiple platforms like a fat binary. But i think all of the examples require you to have a specific target in mind.
I guarantee you that very few customers rebuy the exact same vacuum cleaner or pair of sunglasses within a matter of weeks. You would think that the advertisers would only show products that customers actually do rebuy, like dog food and toothpaste.
Japan's Yakuza Gangs in US Treasury's Cross Hairs
Most BMC updates are handled in software on the BMC. You're giving the BMC a new image file to write and trusting the BMC to actually write it. Who's to say the BMC is dutifully writing that image to the flash memory? Who's to say it doesn't re-infect the image before writing?

Even if you do directly connect to the flash module and directly write to it through SPI, if the attack is being loaded by an additional module between the flash memory and the BMC, it could still inject additional data into the BMC's boot. If you're not physically listening to the SPI data being transmitted or knew what to look for in the final environment of the BMC, you wouldn't know it had happened.
Your description sounds very psychological, which is exactly what the article is saying as well? In other words, you're not concerned with the specific cards (analytical), but what your opponent thinks about their cards.
JARs are okay, but they still require you to have the java runtime installed in order for them to execute.

This isn't as bad as it sounds. Enough PeerTube instances are already open to general public.
> The last consulting firm I worked for had over 70% of their revenue coming from two contracts, and neither contract used any of the tools or philosophies the consulting company claimed to espouse.

Assuming you're talking about philosophies that are considered good practice because they lead to more sustainable design practices and smoother development later, I have doubts those ever survive in long-term consulting contracts. The way pressure flows in those scenarios always leads towards emphasizing speed of development. Anything else requires multiple points in the management path both in the local firm and client firm to be willing to forego short term cost for potential long term gains, and if any one of them is out of alignment it causes problems.
I'm on my company's many distribution email list for info@ support@ and other common addresses. I do the exact same thing, but I've received a number of email responses saying thanks or asking for the original email headers.

I usually only notify .edu or nonprofit organizations and completely ignore large corporations. Sending an email to a larger organization usually gets lost and nothing comes of it.
It's understandable due to RAM, disk, and network being way less of a constraint than it used to be (which necessitated dynamic linking and shared libraries), and the modern need to ship around binaries to hundreds or thousands of servers and have them run predictably everywhere.

I do that, with emails. Simply thanks to notmuch-emacs my feeds does not arrive in my inbox but in a dedicated dir and I can access it from notmuch simply hitting 'r', outside notmuch, i.e. on mobile I can simply access that dir in my IMAP taxonomy with K9 as MUA.

In the past I keep them separated but manage them, especially store&search with full-post locally saved in case it disappear from their origin it was hard or ineffective.
Blockstream’s end game: cripple Bitcoin, provide the solution: “Liquid Bitcoin”
We're struggling using containers for our Python and Javascript applications. I think we're using venvs and node_modules and we oughtn't (or we shouldn't keep them in our project directory where they sometimes--but not always--get overwritten by source code volume mounts).

Yes, normally to video a car going past I'd take a series of photos as it goes past once.

The approach here would be to take a photo of a car, then drive the car past again from the start and take another photo slightly later, then again, and again driving it past hundreds of times.

They split this up even more, but I think the basic analogy holds to show the key difference.
Or just don't use facebook.
I don't know if video publishing is a great use-case for federated stuff like that. The pain points in video are streaming, storing and (maybe) following. There isn't so much discussion and replies and sharing going on on YouTube, for example, so this seems the wrong way to go.

I would think something in which each publisher hosts its own video on its own IPFS instance (of course, IPFS-powered viewers will rehost) and there's some basic indexing.
What about Gmail add-on developers? Do they get access to email content?
Most mainframe and minicomputer filesystems support record-oriented files, and indexed/keyed files. In Unix/Windows land, if my file has 80 byte fixed width records, that's an application file format detail, and the filesystem knows nothing about it. In mainframe/minicomputer systems, the file is declared to the filesystem as F80 (fixed-width 80 byte records), and the FS will force all reads/writes to be in multiples of the record size.

Now, you can call this a "database", although it is basically a flat-file database (ISAM/VSAM). But then, many mainframe/minicomputer relational database products use this as their underlying storage layer, and put SQL on top of it. But the SQL access is an application layer, not part of the actual OS-level filesystem. In some cases, you can have legacy apps directly accessing the files via ISAM/VSAM, bypassing the relational layer, while having newer apps going through the SQL interface instead to read/write the very same files.

Where OS/400 / IBM i makes this picture a bit more complex, is the relational layer is shipped as part of the OS, not as a separate product. What I can't work out, is how deep the integration actually is. Is it just like a relational database bundled with the OS (like how many Linux distros bundle MySQL and Postgres?) Or does it reach deep down into the OS kernel? There is not much technical info available on OS/400 internals, and I wonder if IBM's marketing/evangelism makes the integration sound deeper than it really is?

But, the idea I had was you can use SQL queries to locate ordinary files. Imagine if I had a view VW_FILES which contains metadata (name/directory/size/etc) of every file in my filesystem, and I could query it with SQL. I don't believe OS/400 / IBM i offers that kind of feature. It just allows SQL queries of the contents of database files.
Heroin is very cheap if not for the added cost of being illegal, you could sell it for not much more than a bag of flour if it is legal.

JARs are fine until you need to get someone to install a JRE. Not a problem for server apps, but definitely not painless for client distributed apps.

The main thing to realise is that not everything has to go into the ECS. This is a bit more clear with middleware like physics engines where you’re forced to integrate two views of the world. The game view and the physics view and need to translate and update between the two. Similarly with data in an ECS you can separately process spatial relationships either reusing the required data or keeping local copies as an optimisation.
Looking at the API, this encourages CPS[0], doesn't it?

Work for a registry with many TLDs. Shut down is removing NS records from the TLD zone.
And yes, you can generally report this type of thing to a registry of a TLD. We often act quicker than many registrars, in my experience(though it depends on a TLDs owner/policies...some are much better wrt malicious activity than others).
I had this similar realization when I watched that video from 2011 the first time around (hard to believe it was 7 years ago).

It also gave me this odd sense of blindness, in that I cannot actually see what's in front of me, only what literally interacts with my retina, almost like it's made of tastebuds for light. Still weirds me out when i think about it.
Recently started using RSS2email. Combined with a decent email client (ie not webmail crap like Gmail) it is awesome. The last time I was reading so many blogs and enjoying it was in the "classic" Opera browser circa 2010. Don't discount Usenet either. I know a couple of people who started using Usenet text groups again, and I am planning on joining them. I have come to the conclusion that it will be a better investment of time, because Usenet is archived and accessible. I regularly look up things from the 1990s and 1980s on Google Usenet search. Forums, websites, and blogs just disappear. Hopefully the same thing will not happen to Hacker News, but there is no guarantee.
I am not familiar w/ the tech here (specifically concerning live streaming vs on-disk), but one wonders if you can proxy YouTube over PeerTube to ease the transition. Would require live search backed by site scraping, ability to stream YouTube videos over BT/PeerTube on demand, etc.

Like youtube-dl but ephemeral, at least then content creators can dual host if they want. Or an easy-import feature. Or maybe just a combined user interface for clients so they don't have to switch back and forth.
the u. s. government has hacked CA providers so even companies following best practices are vulnerable. how can any company possibly compete against nation state attack?
Thats a reasonable point, but this isn't a standard product. Only one company in the world is making them (of this level of quality and performance), and the market has been far more receptive than they can handle.

If you want your new car now, don't buy a tesla. If you want a tesla, then get in line. Alternatively, they could raise the price to shorten the line a bit, but something tells me profit isn't their end goal here. Moving the market away from ICE is the goal, and they are succeeding wildly.
There is only one way to end this ..... fight to the death :)
I strongly disagree with the power flight attendants have been given. There is zero recourse when a flight attendant makes a decision, or more often than not, denies you something, flat out lies, or treats you like crap. You can complain to the airline but good luck with that. This new law seems to me that if you even argue with a flight attendant you're kicked off the plane and fined.

Did you continue to eat high-carb meals after your fasting? I recently had to give up eating keto for a few weeks and then I noticed I got very hungry in the mornings. On keto I would normally eat around noon without much effort. If your body gets used to high insulin it will naturally make you crave food more often.

There's something to be said for the fact that these are native binaries. Like under windows you'd be able just call CreateProcess with the file. Jars never did that and intrinsically needed an interpreter to run them.
It's quite incompetent and negligent to put network connectors on servers that cause spectacular failures when exposed to a network.

Two different things. Transactional NTFS actually shipped as part of Vista, and still exists in Windows 10, but was rarely used, and is now deprecated.

Vista/Longhorn was also supposed to feature WinFS, which was integrating NTFS with an embedded version of SQL Server, so you could do SQL queries to find files on your filesystem. This was pulled from Vista before release, because it wasn't ready. Some of the enhancements to SQL Server developed as part of the project were released as part of SQL Server 2008 (e.g. FILESTREAM data type), but the core idea was abandoned.

That wasn't the first time Microsoft had tried something like that. In the 1990s, their Cairo project had an object-based filesystem (OFS). That got abandoned as well, although just like WinFS, some of the technologies developed for it actually got released and used. (e.g. COM Structured Storage, which was used as the basis of the file format in older version of Office.)
