There are now also more and more established PIs who do not publish in the "usual suspects" journals any longer. That's all well and good for them. However, it does not work out for the grad students and postdocs.

The way to remove the advantage high impact journals still leverage could instead indeed be achieved by not reviewing for them if you are an eminent figure in your field. If these journals cannot claim to publish "the best science" and highest quality any longer, then what's left? This seems the right, and maybe the only real way that single established researchers can directly work towards a (r)evolution of the publishing system. What that would become remains to be seen, of course.

Honestly, Mojave has been nothing but trouble for me, which is a shame because for some reason, it had the feeling of a release that would be particularly strong, and I was initially excited to upgrade.

Aside from performance issues (admittedly minor in my case), the tcc dialogues "X wants access to control Y" are such a freaking pain that I'm almost happy that the lack of nVidia drivers forced me to downgrade back to High Sierra.
At KickoffLabs we used them to handle a bunch of routing on behalf of our hosted customers.

The timing was less than ideal for sure.

However they arranged a good support system with the folks at Fly.io. We’ve already transitioned new customers to it and they are helping to migrate existing sites and certs next week.

I think it’s a risk you just have to take, but we learned a lesson that for things that are dependancies for your business it’s good to have a couple of alternatives lined up or working side by side. :)
Yes, nuclear reactors are terrible as peakers. I think that they would make sense mostly to put a floor under worst-case-minimum scenarios for renewable power generation (like "a week-long period of intense winter cold, far from the equator, while wind isn't blowing much.") In that scenario, there would still need to be some long-duration storage system like hydrogen in salt caverns but the storage reserves don't need to be as large as in the 100% renewable scenario. The lower bound on daily generation is higher. Reactors would run at near-constant levels like now, the only difference being that they'd recharge storage systems at low-demand times.

Or it could turn out that building very large storage systems, even capacious enough to e.g. ride through Germany's entire winter, is less expensive than building new reactors. I'm just trying to keep an open mind about a future role for new reactors. I'm pretty skeptical about starting new reactor builds right now. My strongest present opinion about power reactors is that it's a shame to close working units while their attached grids are still consuming fossil combustion power.
IEEE charges significant membership fees and still most publications remain closed even to member. Typical rate for merely accessing paper is $33. If author wants to do open access then author gets charged $1500. How a person in poor African country supposed to pay these amounts per paper. A society with a mission of spreading and sharing scientific knowledge should not be doing this.

That's consistent with Villani 2011's ( https://www.gwern.net/docs/catnip/2011-villani.pdf ) finding of considerable measurement error in catnip response: you have to try a cat multiple times to be sure if they are a responder. This, I suspect, may be an issue with a number of catnip studies, since researchers administering catnip may be strangers or not be on good terms with the subject cat, and definitely none of them mention trying to control or correct for this (or any awareness of this beyond Villani).

My suggestion is that the response is not totally uncontrollable and so anxiety/uncertainty/stress can 'shut down' the response, kind of like the socially-dependent response to many drugs in humans, like alcohol or MDMA - boozing with your friends at a cheery party with no inhibitions is very different from meeting a stranger & maintaining your vigilance.
BBB is also a kind of scam: they are not in any sense a government agency, more of a Yelp-like entity. In the age of the internet, they go after small businesses, and are eagerly sought out by scammers because you can just purchase their approval, and it can help allay people's suspicions. For that reason I'm less trusting of anything that is touting BBB support. It might be an old person who's not up to speed with what they've become, but it might be someone purchasing a high rating because they know they're going to try and rip people off, and need some cover.

At the time of writing this, they think I'm just dandy, because I didn't respond but didn't attack them when they tried to shake me down. It'll be interesting to find out if they respond to this post ;)

You can easily look through my profile and infer my nationality and effort spent commenting. Yours, not so much.

This topic has been endlessly debated on HN. The general consensus here may be different than what you're used to, as it is harder to distract technical people with baseless excuses about "security" when we can understand the details of what the NSA (et al) must have had to do to implement their panopticon. The excuse that they do not operate domestically simply no longer holds water, and a standard heuristic of criminal investigation is to dig deeper after finding probable cause. Opening up the specifics of these secretive organizations to public scrutiny is the only way forward for a democratic society.

You clearly have an opposing view, and it is true our society needs to regain tolerance of disagreement. But it's just not a very interesting view to explore when it consists of the same exact "whataboutist" talking points that are broadcast through USG's media outlets.
Check the Twitter link posted elsewhere in this thread of a security researcher finding exactly that.
Not necessarily. The value of debt as an asset is often less than the amount owed, because there is a non-trivial risk that the debt will not be paid back in full. Furthermore, if you are a central bank, you can effectively borrow money from your future self.
What version of elasticsearch are you using? Even in version 1.x, aggregation queries are so intuitive and pleasant to work with, imo. Now the actual libraries written in Ruby and other languages may be clunky.

In fact, I am not sure why people need all those fancy BI tools. 99% of the time, Elasticsearch aggregations gives me the data I need.

The EFF Gift Guide: What’s Creeping Us Out
The fusion reaction of a main sequence star is a balancing act between the outward pressure of the fusion reaction (radiation and gas pressure primarily) and the inward force of gravity.

Like this isn't a conjecture we have a very good understanding of how stars work, stars achieve a hydrostatic equilibrium, if they wouldn't they would either explode, collapse or oscillate, the reason why the fusion reaction doesn't cool down is because gravity is constantly pushes the material inwards if it wouldn't the star would expand until the fusion reaction stops and would cool down.

The constant force of gravity is what constantly keeps the a star in a condition where fusion can happen, basically gravity is what is used to overcome the nuclear forces allowing protons to fuse.

"Gravitational collapse is the contraction of an astronomical object due to the influence of its own gravity, which tends to draw matter inward toward the center of gravity.[1] Gravitational collapse is a fundamental mechanism for structure formation in the universe. Over time an initial, relatively smooth distribution of matter will collapse to form pockets of higher density, typically creating a hierarchy of condensed structures such as clusters of galaxies, stellar groups, stars and planets.

A star is born through the gradual gravitational collapse of a cloud of interstellar matter. The compression caused by the collapse raises the temperature until thermonuclear fusion occurs at the center of the star, at which point the collapse gradually comes to a halt as the outward thermal pressure balances the gravitational forces. The star then exists in a state of dynamic equilibrium. Once all its energy sources are exhausted, a star will again collapse until it reaches a new equilibrium state."

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

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

This is what won Bethe the Nobel prize.

Now in fusion experiments we supplement gravity with magnetic fields and pressure from high temperature plasma, but the same thing stands we need to apply constant pressure to allow for protons to fuse into neutrons in order to have hydrogen > helium fusion, not only that but we need to apply even more pressure when the reaction actually happens to keep it because now you have radiation pressure that wants to expand your plasma which would stop all fusion unless countered.

This is exactly why I asked if we have any models which are actually energy positive.

"It's sort of like global warming -- we know very well that the system is broken, but individually are powerless to change it. Concerted action at the national and international level is required."

Unlike global warming I think that some individuals could really make a massive impact in this case. Funnily enough some of those individuals are studying global warming.

There are already moves at (larger than individual) levels to get to grips with this issue and I think that most affected parties are more than capable of getting to the knowledge source somehow through alternative means when required. If not, then they are in the wrong game.

I don't know. I'd say PDF or JPEG parsers (and SQLite) can have arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities, which can in turn be responsible for remote code execution vulnerabilities when used in network-connected software.

e.g. SQLite has an ACE. Chrome has a RCE (which is SQLite's fault).
There's still trade secrets. That's what you do when you can't patent something or don't think it provides sufficient protection.

As opposed to SELECT * FROM a, b WHERE a.id = b.id? Looks ok on paper, but in exchange for brevity you end up demolishing your readability on complex queries, since you can’t easily identify filters (as opposed to join conditions). Most style guides, including my team’s, consider explicit JOINs mandatory, and there’s a good reason for doing so.

Admittedly my work is very heavy on data manipulation; maybe complex queries are less of a concern for other use cases.

The grandparent talked about treating it like fantasy sports, and if they advertised themselves like, say, Draft Kings does then it would be one thing. As it is, though, the more thoroughly you trust their representation of how their product should be used the worse off you will be. I usually take that particular trait as a big red flag that a the universe would be better off without the company in question.

And yes, this criticism does apply to most brokerage accounts. Most brokerage accounts don't have half of Silicon Valley fawning over them, though.

Texas Judge Strikes Down Obama’s Affordable Care Act as Unconstitutional
Technically, this attack is actually is two separate attacks in a chain. The first node in the chain is delivering malicious SQL. The second node is executing code remotely via SQLite. The proof is that SQLite or the application linking it could have mitigated this attack independently by either filtering the query string or better protecting the memory which is being written to.

In practice, however, the community gets more bang for their buck if they label the SQLite code execution vulnerability as an RCE since the vast majority of use is in a networked setting. You have to remember the audience used for these terms. They aren’t scientists in the traditional sense where taxonomy is highly aligned the ontology — instead, the labeling serves the operators with metaphors that depart from reality insofaras they increase security engineers ability to do their job effectively.
Much like the now disgraced/debunked Judith Miller article helped garner massive support for Bush's Iraq war, this article is meant to support Trump's anti-China rhetoric and trade war.

We're supposed to conclude that Trump's tariffs have dealt a serious blow to China's economy, and thus to suppress our disgust with the policy, since it will not take much more time for China to beg for respite.

It should be obvious by now that there is a concerted effort to amplify unfavorable publicity for the Chinese government, the Chinese people, and the Chinese way of life.

Also, fwiw, since when does it make sense to draw massive micro-economic conclusions from interviews from a handful of people? If this were news it would be an economic paper, not an article cobbled together out of a few interviews/quotes.
In their defense, their version of "go fast and break things" won't kill any jaywalkers, and instead could be devastating on a far wider scale, if 2007-2008 collapse showed us anything. (upwards of 10,000 extra suicides there [0] so....)

The criticism of OP implies nothing about whether they personally use Facebook. The point is that a large fraction of people do use it, and leaking "private" photos of some people can endanger them.

That is of course the C11 (draft) spec, not C++.

Interesting find there. The wording is also in the C99 draft; it is not new.

It is in fact saying that the empty list in a definition is a special case and does declare that the function takes no parameters. To "specify" here can be understood to mean as inserting information about type into the declaration scope; that which a declaration does.

So that's a bit of a bug in GCC there; it should be treating this the same as (void) and therefore diagnosing that way. If not by default, then at least when -pedantic is applied. But nope:

$ gcc -Wall -W -std=c11 -pedantic proto.c

None of these issues are a problem, they're preferred.

The excess of parking subsidizes driving leading to more congestion, less density, and less utilization of public transportation.

People simply aren't that stupid when it comes to their self interest. If transportation options suck somewhere, then property/rent values go down. This isn't libertarian pipe-dream economics, this is basic direct effects.

If anything, it gives developers the choice between building the parking, or lobbying for better bus service, etc. Perhaps if parking wasn't so absurdly subsidized, the bus system would improve markedly?
Please, no, don't use -Werror with -Wall or -Wextra. When you write your code and compile with -Werror on your old version of GCC (either because you're behind on GCC releases, or because you wrote the code in the past), and I want to compile it with my new version which has added some warnings, I don't want to have to mess around in your build configuration and remove -Werror.

Instead, do any of the following:

* Compile normally without -Werror, but have a test suite which compiles all your tests with -Werror. Make sure to only accept patches which don't break the test suite (probably using some CI system). If you don't want actual tests, a "test suite" which just makes sure `make clean && make CFLAGS=-Werror` doesn't fail would suffice.

* Use -Werror for regular builds, but enable only a fixed set of warnings, not -Wall or -Werror.

* Make your build system record warnings, and complain about them for every single build, not just the builds which happen to recompile the files which trigger warnings. This doesn't _guarantee_ that your project is warning-free like the other two do, but I imagine a lot of the reason projects end up with warnings is that people just see the warning once, and then never again until the file has to be recompiled.

I can't count the number of times I have wanted to use some project, but then had to dig through the project's Makefile or autotools m4/shell soup or gn files or meson files or cmake files or ad-hoc compile script or some other build configuration, just because my compiler is newer than the author's.

Consider instead that you do not have a prefix command, but you poll the line and there is data, so you retrieve it.

Now what do you do? Well, you check the first byte and see if it's a valid first byte for a command. There are hundreds of them, so basically every uppercase ASCII character should do.

In the happy path, you get a byte stream like "DT 1234\r\n".

Sometimes, the data stream has noise in it, so you get bytes like "%$DT 1234\r\n".

There are no commands that start with "%" or "$" so you can just drop it.

However, in the unhappy path, you might get bytes like "CMDT 1234\r\n".

CM is a valid command! But "DT 1234" are not valid arguments.

If only there was a way to get the ATtention of the parser before parsing commands...
