Yes. If the problem was trying to parse ASCII consistently that would be the right solution.

My response was to OPs moving the goal post to "portably parsing ASCII" in response to his suggested replacement for a C library function not being portable on non-ASCII systems, which make no sense.

I'm highly social. FWIW, I think a lot of standard social expectations are maladapted to modern life. They try to impose a facade of social connection where none really exists and it's problematic, and not just for "aspie" types.
IMHO, Rust just should take size of the largest implementation of Animal for `impl Animal`, and viola — we can make them static. No heap is good for embedded.

the cynical side of me assumes that they'd only show this information off if they had a new system for disguise which was far beyond what they showed here.

i mean, look at the image of the lady in the mask meeting HW bush -- that image is ~30 years old. they've had 30 years to improve on that...
Probably not that impressive to anyone else, but I did it without looking at any examples of recursion in assembly because I wanted to try to figure out how it could be done by myself. Yay.

One parrot is a loud pet. Two parrots isn’t parrot+parrot, it’s parrot^parrot. I know this because I have a metered conure, and an ex girlfriend has a sun conure. I was hospitalized for six months and she volunteered to take my bird. The were LOUD together, each feeding off the other.

does that mean the sounds are in free variation? Should (2) say "It is phonemically spelled"?

Penultimate stress?

I don't know enough Rust to completely understand what you are talking about with object safety, but this is a very interesting project. How do you plan to handle Objective-C's runtime features? Even if you don't plan to implement advanced features like objc_allocateClassPair, one thing you will have to deal with rather quickly is informal protocols and optional methods, which are resolved at runtime.
Would this not require all impls to be in the same translation unit or the linker has to be explicitly aware of it?
I've also lived in many places and choose to live in Boulder. Love it here.
It gets the job done and can be efficient from a development perspective. If high speed (ops/sec) operation isn't required, this sort of approach can be pretty useful.

I needed to do a "headless" build of an FPGA where the software wasn't ready yet, but the RF guys needed the FPGA operate as if software was there and running the show. I did a sort of PSM as you call it that was like a really basic processor. Peek, Poke, Test, Jump, Inc, Dec. It was very helpful for debug, and the RF guys were able to make progress weeks before software was ready to go. Plus the software builds were very focussed on flight, and not doing special configurations to help others figure out corner case issues.

For a hobby project, depending on the goals of why one is doing the project, I think it's a fine approach. Gets results fast which helps with motivation and momentum to learn more difficult things. It's also a natural bridge for people coming from a software background.
Another alternative is ZEIT Now 2.0 which is supposed to be cloud-agnostic serverless. It puts a few more layers of abstractions between the developer and the cloud providers.

Not surprising. The boom in the Permian Basin has already been massive. Driving through southeastern New Mexico, you see a hellscape of hastily strung, sloppy power lines across vast fields of drill rigs, with signs warning you of the possibility of poison gas.
Why You Shouldn't Trust Your Composer Dependencies
The desktop app serves up the same web UI that the UniFi Cloud Key does. So you need either the cloud key or a computer on which to run the web app (even a Raspberry Pi is reportedly capable of serving it; I just fire it up on my Macbook Pro when it's time for an update or config change).

There is a dizzying amount of information and options in the web UI, but it's designed well so the basics are well-presented and accessible.
I'm Jonna Mendez, the Former Chief of Disguise for the CIA. Ask Me Anything
- The whole concept of authority: Wait, so I should do what my teacher or my boss says, even if it's completely dumb, just because they have some social status?

- The idea that you should do anything other than tell people directly if you have a romantic interest in them.

- Many politeness or etiquette rules. I get that you shouldn't outright insult people. But I don't understand things like not starting to eat before everyone has their food, fighting over who is going to pay for something, insisting that others go through a door before you (this might be a British thing).

- Gender norms. Why does it make any difference which sex you were born? (other than things that depend on physical characteristics, or are influenced by hormone levels)

This isn't really to do with social norms, but another thing I do that I associate with autism/PDA, is that I have a strong inclination to interpret things literally. usually, I pick up on sarcasm/irony or implied meanings. But also, really often I don't (but I usually very quickly realise that I've missed something based on how people react to my response)
You can abstract your logic from the infrastructure with the Serverless framework and deploy on any provider.

When I was in my urban planning masters program they suggested a typology of problems as sort of a 2x2 matrix, or a cartesian plane.

On one margin you can classify problems according to how well the mechanisms for addressing the problem are. On the other margin, you can classify problems according to how much agreement there is on what the aims should be.

Wicked problems, in my view, are problems where you neither have agreement on the desired end state, nor a good understanding/capacity to effect any potential outcome.

As a self-professed geek, I’ve spent a lot of my life thinking hard about how to address technical mechanisms of problem solving, usually with an assumed view of what constitutes “solved.”

At least in the disciplines where I’ve spent time, I’m increasingly convinced that the lion’s share of every problem is political rather than technical.

With that definition of a wicked problem, it seems obvious why we’d suck at solving them. They’re wicked after all!
Yup, my fault. I exploded too quickly, probably because recently had a similar discussion related to my own work.
That doesn't have anything to do with Linux Desktops, though.

Communications! Don't stomp on other people to get to the top, instead get them to boost you up! Example: Make the changes to see if it works, but instead of showing it to your or his boss, you tell the one who wrote it that, "hey I got an idea on how to make this 100x faster". Only when he/she says your idea will not work, you say "actually I did test it, see". And you might get valuable information like for example the political status.

> You could just as easily argue it in the opposite direction, it is much easier to co-opt the corrupt Russian government than it is to co-opt the less corrupt American government

Note that I was referring to the explanation of the relative success of US vs. Soviet placement/detection of agents (from context, intelligence officers, not assets, though “agent” can mean either); Russia’s current government and the Soviet government aren't the same thing.

> I think a much more reasonable explanation for why government organizations are always trying to become more totalitarian

That's not the effect I was explaining or, even, at that level of generality, one I'd agree exists.

It was for me, too. That said, if you simply ignore Facebook Messages and periodically drop in with "didn't see this until just now; shoot me an e-mail or text next time," everything you want to see eventually makes it over.

Hitting 'Check for Updates' in Windows 10 Opts You into Beta Releases
In a variety of modes. I stay with friends, watch people’s property while they travel, stay at motels, state parks and national forests, rest stops, BLM land and AirBnB. I lived in a house for 10 years where I was persnickety about 8.5 hours of sleep a night, and that went out the window when I started traveling to blow glass with people. At this point I’m limited by health problems, also and could not reasonably commit to even a 6 month lease. So, I remain very flexible about accommodation. If I shower 2-3 times a week and can cook twice a week, I’m all set.
I think this sort of thing is always a bigger deal than it seems. I think most people are actually really averse to learning new platforms, and things that enable people to make stuff without having to learn a different platform are way more popular than I would expect.

Examples: phonegap, electron, unity, love2d, reactnative, and nodejs itself. (Node = I know web but not native, can you help me write server code without learning C/python).

Most of this stuff solves the problem of “I want to program on platform X, but I’m most comfortable in Y. Can someone prevent me from needing to learn X’s paradigms?”. Arguably that’s one of the biggest draws of wasm itself, and why the communities around a lot of languages are excited about it. (Eg rust, blazer). (“Ugh don’t make me learn JavaScript. I already know C# and I like it. Can I just do that instead?”)

To your point, I think it seems like there’s not much demand for such a thing because the people it would help aren’t involved enough yet to file issues. If they’re invested enough in the community and the problem, they’re probably invested enough to learn enough JS to bridge the languages themself anyway.

Which is all to say, I think making a wasm script tag after host bindings are in is a good idea and will make a lot more people happy than it would seem if you just surveyed the existing community.
Trusting the government to set up an independent oversight body, such as gave us trading standards, food safety, and the bodies that became the BSI (British Standards, the first national standards body) or various regulators etc.

It's perfectly possible to trust an independent body set up, and funded, by government whilst entirely distrusting party politics and the government of the day. I have yet to lose trust of, for example, the BSI Kitemark. Nor trading standards despite governments occasionally limiting their funding, and thus their effectiveness. Despite being funded by the state they are not the government. (Actually I think BSI is self-funded these days, but the point stands)

Professional bodies, such as those for lawyers, doctors etc, frequently attract criticism for being to lenient. The market clearly heavily weights where the money is. Government action is one of very few opportunities to balance that.

Now, I don't know enough from the article about how this will be set up, or which government agencies are being granted this role. Nor do we know how it will work - Party Members punishing errant scientists is clearly very wrong, an independent body of scientists "striking off" an errant scientist may be a very good thing. Little different to a doctor being struck off, but perhaps freer from commercial influence. We can assume, but we don't know. Hence my original question.

Harsher, further reaching penalties for faking peer review, falsifying data or CVs seems a reasonable goal, that might just work. The devil, as mentioned above, is in the unknown details.
Any good books on the subject, sounds fascinating.
You kick the hornets nest.
This is FaunaDB’s strategy. Indexes and views are explicitly referenced and thus every query is implicitly also its own query plan, with local optimizations only. No discontinuous planning events.
Dynamo, like many NoSQL dbs, is (partition key, subkey, value). Partition key gets you to a storage node. Subkey gets you range queries on that storage node. That's the "fundamental data storage model" for most of NoSQL. And it's extremely useful for some use cases.

You could have mapped your use case to this storage model and gotten ridiculously fast queries on vast mountains of data, which is largely the point of NoSQL. But this would have required data duplication, home-made management tools for dealing with said data duplication, and other work that was clearly better spent implementing the much simpler SQL solution.

A benefit of the SQL approach is that if your queries start getting bogged down from growth in data size and/or request volume (not entirely unexpected behavior when you have a couple joins), you can move to a different model where you treat the SQL db as a slow-access source of truth and periodically generate key/value into NoSQL or Redis/ES/etc for actually running queries.

An interesting quote from the AMA:

"I have difficulty separating my life from the work at CIA. This is true for a lot of my colleagues. Early on I found that the men in my office, upon retirement, had an average life-span of 18 months. Eighteen! Their work was their life, and most of them didn’t have outside interests. They literally lived their careers inside the CIA. We changed our retirement procedures to deal with this problem and it got better. Tony Mendez used to say that working at CIA was like drinking from a firehose and that retirement was like jumping from a moving train."

I wonder what it is about the work. This must be true in other professions as well. But at least in computer software after retirement you can still build things and practice your craft.
Note that it's quite possible for a trait to have infinitely many implementations in any given program. For example, Debug is implemented by u64, Box<u64>, Box<Box<u64>>, ..., and so on. While these happen to have the same size, it's not hard to imagine a situation where this is not the case.
I think the U.S. is just an especially easy place to send a deep cover agent.

It has a high standard of living so it's easier to recruit someone to be willing to live here for long periods of time.

It's not uncommon for someone to have a social circle made up entirely of people they've only known a few years. This seems to be much less the case in other places in the world, especially Russia.

It's much more culturally heterogenous so it's easier for someone to blend in.

To me, the art of carving chess pieces is quite separate from the art of inventing a game such as chess.

With most "big" games, I get the feeling a story is being pushed on me that I would completely reject in its own right -- if it wasn't for the skinner box like game elements, that are like the sugar that makes the motor oil go down. And when the story is good, it would be just as good or better as a short story or novel.

I'd say industrial design is an art, it certainly it can be pursued as one. But the art is the process of designing, the resulting screwdriver or toaster is a tool. Architecture is art, the result is a place, a home, but not a piece of art. Admittedly, I can't even fully define my own subjective notion of art, but that's roughly what I think. I mean, I think painting is an art, and the result is also art, but I don't think that about buildings or cars. Making music can be an art and the result can be art, but it also can be a crime and the result an atrocity. Anyway..

Likewise, game design is an art, but the result is a game. It's a game at best, at worst it's like a ride through something as convincing as a creationist theme park. Yeah, there's free ice cream maybe, and some of the displays are very well made, and sometimes I can pick which attraction to go to next, where I'm welcomed with beaming smiles -- but I know why that is, because someone is trying to sneak something in with all that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taarof

"... a worker negotiating a salary might begin with a eulogy of the employer, followed by a lengthy bargaining session consisting entirely of indirect, polite language – both parties are expected to understand the implied topic of discussion. Likewise, a shopkeeper may initially refuse to quote a price for an item, suggesting that it is worthless ... Taarof obliges the customer to insist on paying, possibly several times (three times), before a shopkeeper finally quotes a price and real negotiation can begin."

"Taarof plays a large role in the etiquette of food. If you go to any meal, are invited to any house for food, then you will be expected to eat seconds and thirds. You must eat to please the host but at the same time taarof demands that you can’t just go ahead and dig into the food ..."

Your situation is already sufficiently impossible because it shows that for a given trait, the set of implementors is often (countably) infinite.

One of the nice surprises I had after learning Esperanto a while back was that there is a small but vibrant literature of original novels and poetry in Esperanto. Especially in the first half of the 20th century quite a few gems were written. I've been able to read works about life in Russia at the turn of the 19th century, a Czech Jew's experiences during WWI, and a collection of short stories written by Chinese authors shortly after the Cultural Revolution, all without need of a translator. One Esperanto poet, William Auld, was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature several times before he died about a decade ago.

Don't bother: this is entirely one-sided. How much is lost to licensing is all that it covers. How much do we save by having licensed electricians, mechanics, etc that don't screw things isn't considered, as near as I can tell. Also, the author discloses his affiliation with the "Institute for Justice", which I was surprised to find out is a Libertarian public interest law firm, not a superhero organization like I'd hoped. It's not really a Forbes article, it's sort of an infomercial. If it was journalism, it would be hopelessly one-sided, not even an attempt at he said/she said malpractice.
Thank you for sharing this. I commend your courage. I had similar experiences to what you described. In my mid-30s, I sought out the best attachment therapist that I could find. My search was world-wide since I was willing to move to get treatment and me and my husband can work from anywhere.

I found a group in near Boston called the Attachment Institute of New England. Though they predominantly work with children, they agreed to treat me. It completely changed my life and allowed me to overcome and heal from my past. That was 5 years ago and since then, I’ve had children. I know I would not be the parent I am without their help. I only wish I could somehow replicate what they did for me to help more people as I know most people don’t have the luxury of finances and time to do what I was able to do.
Though I'm sympathetic to you, I feel there is more to this story.
Well yes, the parent we're replying to was talking about caching.
RIP. Oh, god when will US learn from its past mistakes? I did enjoy reading Blum's books ~15 years ago.

"Basically it's US foreign policy which creates anti-American terrorists. It's the things we do to the world. It's not, as the White House tells us, that they hate our freedom and democracy. That's just propaganda."[8]

"It’s not clear how “unpopular” Blum’s views were—in a 2013 YouGov poll, 61 percent agreed with the statement, “In the long run, the United States will be safer from terrorism if it stays out of other countries’ affairs”—but what is certainly “not unique” was the Times‘ attempt to use an obituary to settle ideological scores."

> This would work, of course. But doesn't it defeat at least some of the convenience of a "serverless" architecture if I still need to manage/configure servers with attached (and pre-populated) storage?

It might not be you who maintains the server. Internally, Amazon’s DynamoDB equivalent allows code owned by teams to run on data nodes triggered by events (writes, deletes, fetches). That code is run in a sandbox with certain constraints that ensure computation stays local. It’s serverless for the function owners.
