My wife and I were (up here in Canada) looking for a nice mellow train ride with scenery, out of Vancouver you can catch a train to Jasper and on northward to Prince George but... the cost of both of us to ride and have a cabin for two is 5k, so alternative to taking a 4 day train ride is flying out to london three separate times for the weekend. Alternatively we could book a fancy hotel room in down-town for two weeks and have a ritzy stay-cation.

I don't know why continental american train service is so stupidly over priced and inconvenient, but I really hope at some point they realize they are currently uncompetitive and could actually make more money offering a better service for a more reasonable fee.
To be fair, if we do manage to preserve the Internet Archive to a significant degree, information on html and other filetype standards should be readily available for future recreation.
Who will pay that ticket price to go to and from New Orleans? What’s the economic base? The line is shut down right now because the flood relief spillway is open near New Orleans and water might possibly swamp the trestle. While they are building a replacement, I don’t think it’s any less vulnerable. Imagine advertising a 110 mph service and then having to shut it down for that. CNR gives zero fucks.
Thanks.

Could do mosh via tinc via Tor, though. I'll try it.
In fact, in a hosted conforming implementation of ISO C, there is a considerable run-time, but it doesn't have anything useful in it for building a low-effort C interpreter.

apply is just a function in Lisp. The host Lisp itself doesn't (necessarily) use apply for calling functions. When an expression like (cons a b) in the host Lisp is processed, it's quite likely compiled into machine code or byte code that doesn't use apply.

The hosted interpreter uses apply because it operates at the host Lisp's run-time; with respect to that host, it's handling function calls by dynamically constructing lists of evaluated arguments and then having to solve the problem of applying a list of arguments to a function.

A C run-time could provide apply. Libraries exist for this like GNU ffcall, and libffi. They are low-level, hard to use and error-prone compared to apply.

A C run-time can provide a way to get the addresses of functions also; we can do this in modern POSIX environments with dlsym, in Win32 with GetProcAddress and such.

If we put together libffi and dlsym to call a function, and make the slightest mistake, we have corruption or a crash on our hands. Whereas apply is robust; we get diagnostics about too many or too few arguments and so on.

If ISO C provided these features, then we could have ISO C "C-in-C" meta-circular interpreters. They would contain a significant lines-of-code expenditure compared to Lisp-in-Lisp.

When weev accessed phone buyer data that was public, but not meant to be public, the FBI raided his home and he was sentenced to 41 months in jail.

> Presumably if we had work to be done we would have open positions for it.

I don't follow the presumption. There's no shortage of work out there to be done, we just don't have the means to PAY for it under the current system. Now, you might not think MMT does either (in real terms), but the world is NOT short of work to be done.

> Now we have to magic up jobs, which means diluting jobs other people currently do

...which doesn't follow if your first point fails.

Better question:

As a system administrator, how does one find issues like "improper logging that leads to credential capture"? And how do es one find credentials for internal services crammed in and hidden in old crufty source tomes?

Obviously, when you find it, you nuke the creds, change them, and fix it. But you can't automate, because that requires the raw data. And if you hash the passwords, you end up having to hash everything in order to perhaps find the bad hashes. And when dealing with MBs/s of log, you can't offset-hash everything to scan... and you're back to raw text-matching passwords..

How do others do this, so we can do the right thing?
I always interpeted "attractive" to refer to how much attraction one feels to another person, for any arbitrary reason. For example even if some fashion model is traditionally beautiful, she might be less attractive to me than an ordinary looking girl who is more my type.
I lived in Japan when I was 19, and I never once was asked for ID when buying alcohol, neither at a store nor a bar. It seemed to be largely the honor system, since you could buy alcohol from vending machines. Although when one bartender found out my age, he said it wasn't a problem since I wasn't Japanese. Go figure.

A big club in Tokyo was the only place I was ever asked, and even there I was waved right through. Apparently, they were just checking for "gang affiliation".

FWIW, they failed to recoup their investment in TNG's remaster, selling at 100+ per season. By definition, that arguably means it was sold below cost.

(I bought individual TNG remaster seasons as they came out specifically to support the remaster effort.)
My Instagram was compromised a couple of years ago. My password was very secure and completely unique to Instagram so I found this extremely odd. Someone had logged in from the Bay Area. I believe it was compromised twice within 24 hours and then my Facebook was too with a completely unique password as well. Facebook emailed me to change all passwords. I have perhaps over 50 acquaintances working at Facebook. Could someone internally have accessed it as a prank? I don’t remember all the details but I did change my bank account immediately after as well just in case.
People have a feeling of being dragged against their will at the moment; there is no consensus, and that's mainly the fault of Theresa May who, by not reaching a consensus across the house and the different positions on Brexit, has just created a situation where no one is satisfied by the outcome of the negotiations. She should have reached across the house and the political spectrum, across Leavers and Remainers, to reconcile the country and reach a compromise that was acceptable for everyone; instead she defined extremist red lines that haven't changed since the first very day she took office, assumed these red lines were the redlines given by Leave voters, and ignored the rest of the electorate... She does not even respect the votes of the Parliament, and comes again and again with the same deal with a single strategy: running down the clock.

At the end of the day, the country is now more divided than ever, and for some (including myself), the only voice we have left against this nightmare is to sign a petition.
Not really within the EU - we have reasonably fast rail that prioritises passenger travel over freight - but e.g. Moscow to Beijing takes 6 or 7 nights, and you could get to Moscow itself by sleeper train if you're up for it.

I took the train for the first time a few months back. Was a couple hundred miles (less even).

I really like it for about the first 3/4.

Then we took forever to get the last little bit done. I looked into it and apparently out west Amtrak has an atrocious record for on time service.

It's a shame because it's a great way to travel if you can take the time. It's comfortable, I had power and wifi. The food isn't great but oh well. I'd rather take the train than my car, driving is dreary. I'd rather take it than the bus, which is just god awful.

I really wish we would put in the time to make our trains better. Passenger tracks and high speed trains would be awesome. Instead we waste time and effort on Elon's tunnels.
If it's an issue of fixed upfront costs, they can literally do a kickstarter and it will get funded.
And almost offtopic, in a scifi story, an advanced civilization found a way to extract energy from these systems billion of years ago (or use them just to store stuff, lot of it). Taking positive energy out of the system creates negative energy which is inflating the universe faster and faster. Most of them don't care because it will take billion of years for matter to be stirred into pieces. Some of them think it's not a good idea and should be controlled somehow but cheap energy is too tempting.

> Code is buggy. It's difficult to write well, you have to write 10,000 tests for it, you have to have a testing framework, complex procedures to move it through pipelines and roll it back and version control it and debug it and maintain it and deploy it. It's annoying.

All of that applies to config, or to any other solution to the problem, because the complexity is (usually) inherent to the business problem you're solving. The difference is that in config, none of that tooling is available. If I put some complex logic in config I still want to version control it and debug it and test it - but I can't. Give me a real programming language where at least I have standard tools available for managing complexity.

> Aside from that, crafting configuration and performing operations should have a real user interface.

Code is the best user interface anyone has ever come up with for specifying complex logic, precisely. Mathematicians use something very similar, not because maths is done on computers but because they have the same need to communicate precisely. Lawyers use a "plain english" language that ends up being more verbose and less readable. Any "visual" format, including every configuration UI I've seen in practice, is even worse.

I've seen this so many times in self-rolled auditing kludges that it has become kind of a running joke. I'm now surprised if anyone does anything more sophisticated than sym encryption of master credentials used to guard secrets without using the same secret for both as a first pass. Embedded master passwords abound in most legacy OSS configurations.

Absolutely awful. I have to work on it, since it's part of standard hardware at Red Hat, and every time my dock stops working I immediately have to connect a mouse because the touchpad is unusable.

Compared to Mac, it doesn't support any gestures, doesn't mitigate the "oops" finger when you're moving your mouse, and altogether just doesn't feel comfortable.
I'll try to edit my comment to be more descriptive once I get home because I don't remember in what ways is Mac better since its trackpad is like second nature to me now.

About the dock not working. I'm running RHEL7.6 and the issue is fixed in kernel 4.5+, otherwise Lenovo provides damn great job with their HW.
It really has to do with that Red Hat adopted all of their HW for our development purposes.
Molten also helped inspire parts of FastAPI. And they are indeed quite similar in several things.

Molten is based on WSGI, FastAPI is based on ASGI.

So, you can do async/await stuff in FastAPI.

FastAPI inherits directly form Starlette, so it inherits its benefits, like testing tools, GraphQL in-process background tasks, etc.

And it benefits from the ASGI ecosystem, for example with plugins to handle Django-Channels like Websockets, deployment to "serverless", even including other tools like Socket-IO.

FastAPI is based on Pydantic instead of an internal library for declaring schemas, so any improvements there are inherited here.

It supports Flask like route decorators.

The dependency injection is simpler, probably more intuitive (but this is more subjective). The same with several other parts.

But again, Molten is a great tool, and was one of the tools that inspired FastAPI (it's even mentioned in the docs).

> dramatically different from the way the general audience uses a search engine

How many people have you actually talked to? Over the last few months I've had more than a few non-tech friends/family/etc complain to me about Google's broken search results, often asking if I knew of a way to fix it. The "missing: <query_term>" behavior is particularly enraging: I've seen multiple people yell at Google's search results variations of "F* you, Google! Stop telling me how you're ignoring half of my search!"

> Most people use natural-language sentence fragments in search.

Most people have a wide variety of behaviors that cannot (and shouldn't) be reduced into s single group. That said, a lot of people have learned to use Google in ways that work for them, even if it sometimes seems inefficient or unusual to those of use used to using query languages. Assuming you know what they "meant to ask" is often wrong and usually considered offensive. Priding tools people can choose to use is great; attempting to DWIM[1] - interpreting what the user intended instead of what they said - has been a terrible idea that ruins tools even since it was first attempted >50 years ago at Xerox PARC[2].

This question struck me. I, too, googled it, and came up empty handed. I then asked on Quora, which at the time of this comment, has 5 not-unreasonable answers.

My favorite answer is Joshua Engel's:

> It’s just a turn of phrase. He’s evoking the idea of “planet” as “one of the lights in the sky”, something people have long dreamed of.

> It was an awkward phrase even at the time, though. George Low may have been a great administrator, but he’s a lousy writer. My red pen itched at every word. (In the very next sentence he misspells “mankind”.) He meant to be poetic, but his audience would have been confused by it, and that wouldn’t be the last time in that document.

A credentialed economist should put a stake through the heart of the heart of MMT.

Two simple critiques:
1) Relative to a financial statement (i.e. budget), it is difficult to predict and measure inflation. This difficulty lowers the likelihood of government fiscal responsibility and increases the likelihood of devestating inflation.

2) A basic second-order effect: What happens when people realize transfer medium is being debased? They'll obviously try not to store value in that transfer medium. How will volatile inflation affect the use of the transfer medium? Why wouldn't users switch to a better store of value, like every single developing market that has ever lost control of its currency?

I am embarrassed for profession of economics that MMT is being entertained as a viable "new-old idea." Of course the government can debase the numéraire of the economy. Obviously, doing so transfers value from non-government to the government similar to taxation. The financial statement of the economy has to balance. This is merely a backdoor way of transferring assets in a deeply unaccountable way.

This is architecture documentation. The ISA doesn't belong in this document.

The GPU Instruction Set will almost assuredly be published as well. https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/introduction-to-ge...

https://01.org/linuxgraphics/documentation/hardware-specific...

Both Intel and AMD release documentation on the raw assembly language of their GPUs.

-------

Only NVidia really "hides" their SASS (lowest level assembly language). But NVidia has very good documentation on PTX-assembly, which is practically as low level as you need.

People who have reverse-engineered SASS have noticed that SASS grossly changes between NVidia architectures. Basically, NVidia doesn't want to be tied down to any decision between GPU generations. So they publish PTX documentation (a very low-level GPU-assembly language which is reinterpreted between generations), but keep the SASS stuff pseudo-secret.

You can still figure out SASS through NVidia tools... if you think you need to see under the hood. They have compilers, disassemblers, and such available. But its mostly undocumented and changes grossly between generations. Its probably not worth the effort to learn.
Plenty of people point at academia and blame them for our problems, and plenty of people think academics are useless to society. I'm personally in the STEM area so I can't really comment on the arts.

I'm not blaming successful people for being successful, I applaud people who build products and create jobs. Thinking outside the box and innovating is great, but when your innovation is in the field of evading the intended consequences of regulations, that's not the kind of success I value.
> Probably dumb question: if debt and deficits don’t matter and a country can just print money - how does that explain cases where countries have defaulted and other countries and their own citizens lose confidence in the currency?

I think the idea is that deficits don't matter if you print money and offset any inflation (1) some sort of jobs program, (2) taxes which can take money back out of the economy and cool inflation, and maybe (3) more traditional ways of tweaking interest rates.

I have seen that and agree that country-wide train service is indeed expensive, but there really should be better offerings on the east coast that could compete against bus service. Being on a train with plenty of room has a huge quality advantage over buses and the scaling of their carrying capacity means that companies can be more free in allowing luggage and seating space than the economics of planning the layout of a bus.

Seeing as I live just on the outskirts of a capital city (Cardiff), and I can't even get 3G signal inside my house, and no more than 80/20 broadband; I'll remain skeptical about the possibility of success for this outside of very specific cities. There's also a lot to be said for reliability and the requirement to always have a fast connection: one of the benefits to many videogames is the fact that they are not online.

Isn't 5G on a wavelength that has poorer penetration than 4G? It might work in the USA but signal is a constant issue in stone housing here in the UK (though it may be better where you are based). I had to get a femtocell from EE in order to get signal in my house :\

I agree with him too! What's unimaginative is taking the current Mac or Windows desktop and projecting that on a plane.

Old Mac users miss the "spacial UI" of the original Finder. Well, the third dimension gives you lots of room for a spacial UI. It doesn't have to look like you're flying through space like in Jurassic Park or anything, but a lot of existing desktop UI is constrained by the fact that screens--even if you have four of them--don't take up very much of your visual field and are relatively fixed in position.

I think deactivating accounts etc works for some areas of productivity but the creativity is so fragile. When you're busy and you're choosing between turning on one more switch vs just not making any music today, a lot of people will just choose to not make music if there's any friction. That'll be exponentially more true if there's any account management and money involved in the choice vs a reverse sunken cost mentality.
