I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: A vast Obelisk of stone
Stands in the desert... near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a metal drum lies, whose thickness,
And shape, and awe inspiring scale,
Tell that its sculptor well the intent read
to let survive within these lifeless things,
The force which they had summoned;

And on the pedestal these words appear:
'I am become death, the destroyer of worlds'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The glassified green sands stretch far away
> Also, any modern IDE already needs to parse the AST anyway to provide any half-decent inspection features. The grammars/specs of most popular languages are also readily available and well-maintained.

But do those IDEs actually execute the in-language generators? Which AST are they reporting, the preprocessed or postprocessed?

I've heavily used M4 with C code before and what I liked was the ability to see and run tools against the postprocessed code. Textual replacement can be thought of as a worse is better approach, a principle behind many of the systems that people enjoy and even find to be elegant (at least as long as they don't look too closely).

Such a consideration (while valid) is not Boeing's to make.
You do not require banning sharing of information in order to have universal healthcare. I am for the latter but against the banning.
Then what other kinds of software need to use a privilege escalation?
Best advice I could give is to leverage the contacts you have. Not just your friends, but also potentially your professors. They might have more contacts in finance than you know. A lot of physicists end up working as quants in finance. You might have to relocate to London or Germany (not sure what the outlook is over in Europe currently - my experience is entirely US). Hedge funds and the like will generally sponsor visas in the US, but you might have to seek them out more than expecting to be actively recruited, especially if from a more obscure school (and I do not mean this derogitorally). Most HFs usually have a small set of schools they actively recruit from, usually top tier (perceived) schools in the US in either finance, math, physics or engineering.
There was a video on /r/natureismetal, I watched about 10 seconds before fast forwarding - bunch of dragons munching on a deer, while it is still alive :(

These are scary animals! They do look cool though
That thread was 54 days ago, and the flaw was being exploited and was reported to GH then.

Shouldn't they, I don't know, do something beyond banning accounts caught exploiting this?
I do. It's like a poor man's implementation for bundles, where you can archive things by removing the label.
I'm not Stephen, but we've worked together on a few projects, including this one.

If you like Dockerfiles, you like Dockerfiles. Lots of people do. I did, until I'd used them for a while.

I'm not sure what you mean by "break compatibility". CNBs produce OCI images. They'll run on containerd just fine.

As for ecosystem: you'll note that the domain is heroku.com.
Strongly recommend Cloudflare in combination with some uptime monitoring service. Cloudflare gives you so many options on ways to mitigate attacks, and you get CDN and other services for free. Pretty great.
> Forcing people to pay different amounts for insurance isn't much of 'insurance' at all, then, in my view.

I would argue that this is the core of insurance.

I propose the following example:
A thousand people have a 1% chance of owing $1000. Their EV is -$10. If company A offers insurance for $12, the company benefits by making $2 * 1000 and the individuals benefit by removing variance from their life.
Lets add in a single person who has a 10% chance of owing $1000. Their EV is -$100. In a free market, why would A offer insurance for any amount less than $100?

I am not saying that not everyone should have health insurance, but that perhaps insurance isn't the best system for healthcare.

Sounds like an approach that would coexist nicely alongside technology funding efforts! ARPA-E and EERE have done some great work in that regard; thankfully and a bit surprisingly Congress has so far declined to defund them, despite the Trump administration’s consistent efforts to shut them down, so hopefully they’ll continue to support innovative and incremental advances. Adding carbon incentives to a tax-and-rebate scenario (should we ever get to that) would seem prudent.

Stash: Super simple iOS persistence in 30 LoC
That's fair. I personally never found value in note taking on mobile. I present at conferences, and deal with partners and customers, and in those cases pen with a pocket-size notebook beats fiddling around with a phone. To compare, to take a note on a phone while talking to a partner, I have to 1) take my phone out, 2) unlock it, 3) launch the app and wait for it to load 4) wait until the software keyboard shows up, 5) start taking notes. At any point the phone could start acting up. Maybe it'll be extra slow this time. Maybe the app will crash. Maybe the fingerprint won't take on the first try. The opportunity for delays are always there.

With a notebook, it's so much faster. You take it out, and you start writing. And at the end of the day, I manually add my notes to OneNote.
Yes, slight hyperbole in that it was >10 years off the top of my head. Your statement is correct.
To some of us (me) the service Mint provides is well worth letting some marketer know I spent $50 at Walmart yesterday, that's not sensitive information to me, and if it were I'd be paying in cash.

I even gave the transaction history of all my credit cards directly to Drop (https://www.earnwithdrop.com) in exchange for a few dollars, that's how little it means to me. (So far around $30)

Same here. Without staging how do I change 10 files but only commit 3 of them? For example working on a change, then notice a bug that should be fixed now. Currently I just stage the 3 files for the hot bug fix, commit those, deploy, then continue working on the remaining 7 files.

Yes, I got my GitHub page 'hijacked' in a similar way some time ago when I switched the repo to private (when GitHub announced free private repos for regular account).

Quick response from GitHub after raising a report and got my CNAME back after going through the domain ownership verification with them.
Yes, I've been thinking about this. I still think the focus should be on individual ownership, because then that individual could opt-in to a bundled data purchase. Their cut would be small, but maybe it's automated so you get a lot of small payments without doing anything. I think you need to leave the door open for an individual's data having stand alone value though, like a unique mutation in their genes that cures cancer.
I've been to both sites. When I went to the VLA it was not during an open house. There's more to immediately appreciate at the VLA even if it's to drive up nearby and just look at it with a bit of awe.

The Trinity site was compelling from a historical standpoint but it's really just a patch of desert in a missile range. There was small tent set up with information in addition to the markers. Most of the time for the experience was waiting in a car on a road in the middle of nowhere and speculating about occasional bits of debris in the distance.

Both are worthwhile but I'd go for the VLA.
I work for Pivotal. I beg to differ. We see problems that Dockerfiles create at massive scale in massive organisations, mostly around predictable upgrades, provenance, ease of CVE remediation, not having tens of thousands of running containers with mystery meat and so forth.

Right now for one of our standard large customers, remediating a critical CVE may take several hours, whether they are using current-generation buildpacks or Dockerfiles and build farms. CNBs will drive that figure down to minutes. Thousands of distinct applications, dozens of sites, several tens of thousands of containers, billions of requests per day, patched a few minutes after the buildpack releases from automation observing hundreds of distinct upstream dependencies across a dozen language ecosystems.

Anyone with enough money and people and patience can build and maintain this kind of a capability for themselves. But it's a lot cheaper and easier to pay someone else to maintain it for you.
I prefer playing local files and having the feature set of a real player like foobar2000. I was on premium Spotify for a year and found some value in having access to a wider library than my own. But ultimately I got too annoyed with the compromise of low-effort software.
It wasn't a positive impression. The town seemed like many other rural towns, especially in New Mexico. Dying. The Burger King was out of lettuce and ketchup, the Wall Mart was... interesting, and the motel I stayed in was pretty terrible. Add to that a wind storm in the middle of the night -- hot wind -- a parking lot with no lighting, and my Chihuahua that needed to go potty at 4am.
Understood. Any alternative ideas?

How to Make OSS Sustainable
The "copy from program" feature allows executing a program by design, and is pretty self documenting at that.

There are various other ways you can access the system outside PG once you're a superuser which is why most hosted PG providers (like us) don't allow superuser access.
Congrats on the idea!..

But some of the use cases seem a bit childish.

Maybe I'm too mature but it's much easier to just suck it up and be honest and open about a topic. This seems like it would enable a father to forgo talking about a difficult subject with his child because he would have a false sense of "well at least I tried" from using the app. Long story short I think the idea risks decaying a relationship more then strengthening it.

I'm probably wrong though! I'm wrong constantly.

Good luck!

If you don't include people you disagree with politically they will go off and form their own group independent of yours. I can imagine the defense contractors banding together and making a new Manhattan Project for general AI. Wouldn't it be better to have an ethics board that includes all the big players?
Well, I have been in the hacker scene since like 1997 and it's ethos has always been about free information and secondarily about anonymity. Hence, data as privacy is a no go. What is going to happen is what Julian Assange outlined in his book "Freedom and the Future of the Internet" lays out.

The article lays out that even the hackery of the hackers are having a hard time. I don't know what the hell he is talking about. A hard time like a hard time in not eating a chocolate cookie of convenience lays out but nothing more.

Elite hackers will always have privacy and it will not always be glorious. It is the masses who think the hackers will save them who are delusional.

Annendum :

I think some hackers will pick and choose when to be anonymous and others will be 100% of the time. I am the former.

Sorry, for the repost I had to edit it for lucidity.
> designed and developed to an engineering standard

Hmmmm. Interesting.
Is it legally required to use this standard for these critical softwares?

And are developers legally required to be licensed, in the same way that civil engineers are?
Yes, but there's something about the lack of knowledge on the part of many software users that makes the consent portion debatable. That, and there's no other way to pay to use a service that you want to use.
They aren't excited for having viewpoints like "transgendered people are all either crazy or liars" at the table.

Referring to the leadership of Heritage as "civil" is a stretch from the point of view of individuals in categories repeatedly demeaned and dehumanized by the members of the organization acting in their official capacities.
I'm more worried about attack vs defence assymetry increasing in the world than a self aware AI destroying it.

You just need 1 crazy human and extremely strong assymetrical warfare. If you look at the cases when a human killed lots of people with a truck, and see that in 20 years with cheap self flying drones a crazy person can kill even more people, you can extrapolate this and get to a sad conclusion (at least I did that).
It is possible to use git stash for that. In addition to being conceptually simpler it also allows you to run tests on the “partial commit” before commiting it.
&& doesn't layer squash, it's a trick to avoid the layer commit that RUN implies.

And squashing comes with a major drawback: you lose layer caching and any hope of a vaguely-efficient rebuilding process.
anything short of criminal charges is "no enforcement mechanism"? You do realize that if you're a POST-certified peace officer and terminated for cause (1) you lose your pension and (2) are utterly unemployable by any other law enforcement agency. That means you're in your mid-50s and can't find a job in the field you've worked in for a few decades, and probably can't get hired as a security guard because lack of POST certification means you can't carry a gun on the job.

It's quite a harsh punishment for accessing records inappropriately.

Either they'd do that anyway when they didn't get whichever killbot they wanted, or else they'd convince you to build the killbot you wanted, and in either case you end up with the killbots you don't want, so inviting them to your ethics board doesn't help.

The defense contractors haven't invited you to their ethics board.
It's the 21st century and I think it's time to stop calling these'records'.
Nah, just a forum lurker who had a folder full of mods and maps and engine binaries much too large much too late.

Didn't know how to code back then, and probably can't rocket jump anymore now. Mostly just surprised at having that old memory surface out of nowhere.

Thanks for making that scene cooler way back when.

"but in a number of states they (or anyone acting with their permission) would not be free to record the conversation because of all-party consent laws."

I'm against that due to the power dynamics in place. I'd rather anyone be able to record anyone without saying anything. The whole situation, start to finish, will need to be recorded to make sure they're not cherry picking. I've found that lots of arrogant, evil people will be too cocky to realize someone is recording something or even that folks around them are listening. Gives us a way to deal with more of them. I've known quite a few people that protected themselves that way.

I haven't seen a strong argument in terms of practical effects for full disclosure of that. If anything, less people in abusive environments would be able to prove abuse since abusers would hide it second they know someone is recording evidence. So, I'm for rolling back those all-party, consent laws into one-party or no consent. At least for dealing with harms to person recording. We could require consent before publishing something if no provable harm was done.

"I wonder if that's the kind of model that we need to consider expanding into personal data collection"

Interesting. Not sure about that one. I do prefer it for businesses collecting consumer data given they do most of the abuses. They also have most of the power in this space.

"reinforcing with separate, affirmative consent requirements for some uses"

They'll mostly just click through the dialogs or whatever. It might still be good for few it helps. I don't know. This is a security feature that fails the most unless they already know ahead of time how valuable or important something is. They already have to want to protect whatever it is. Plus, sacrifice whatever product/service is being offered to them, esp free. We could try it to see what happens, though.
yeah no thanks, i'll just take the paycheck
Unsure why my previous comment was deleted, but I'll ask again. Have you received NRC regulatory approval? Do you have an estimate on how long that will take? This is important to know for potential investors.
As well as Kaniko, Makisu, Orca and I've genuinely lost track.

Though buildpacks differ from most of these by skipping Dockerfiles altogether.
Michael Lewis wrote an article about Sergey Aleynikov for Vanity Fair which led him later to write, "Flash Boys" -- it's online and worth your time [0]. Some interesting bits include:

* Advice and information that could keep a programmer out of jail.

* There's the description of Aleynikov's jailhouse enlightenment -- there is no other word for it -- e.g. what his lawyer says:

“Every time I would come to visit him in jail, I would leave energized by him,” she says. “He radiated so much energy and positive emotions that it was like therapy for me, to visit him. His eyes opened to how the world really is. And he started talking to people. For the first time! He would say: People in jail have the best stories. He could have considered himself a tragedy. And he didn’t.”

* There's the discussion of how no one involved (except Aleynikov) actually understood anything about the case and how Aleynikov's attempts to help clarify things were used against him.

* And, then, there's the piece de resistance, where Michael Lewis convenes a jury of cynical programmers -- i.e. some people who actually have a clue -- to meet Aleynikov and judge his actions (spoiler: their cynicism about the case is replaced with incredulity when they talk to him and realize he didn't care about Goldman Sach's "secret sauce" trading algorithms, etc.).

(Also, Lewis discusses his article in a Q&A in Vanity Fair [1] where he gets to talk about his own reaction to it all).

Again, well worth your time.

My thinking is that you just don't know what will be important to you in the future. Those photos probably weren't that important to you when they were first taken, but now they are. I would advise that everyone store even the seemingly most trivial piece of data. There could be an algorithm in the future for which that is the missing key. I trust in our inability to predict the future more than our ability to predict it.

> Sure, but how does this work in todays era where feelings/opinion are considered by many to be the same as fact or at least valid support for an argument?

Perhaps this happens on a larger scale now but I don't think this is anything new, just look at presidential debates, the "winner" is typically the better orator, not the person who cites sources and is factually correct. Go back just a few decades more and "demonstrably true" is a concept largely confined to mathematics.
No, I don’t think it’s unrealistic. You’re probably right that it would work and could be helpful. We’ve all probably known, or have experienced first hand, a situation where you don’t talk to family for years. I think the only part of it that I am being critical of is that both parties need to engage, opaquely. People are stubborn. I’m no different. I just think it would be unfortunate if a person really wanted to make amends or right their wrongs with someone and never had an opportunity to do that. It’s okay for the other person to have no interest in that, but what if they want the same thing but are too angry to admit that? Maybe I’m thinking about it too much.

I do think some of the other examples are really good though, and I like the possibilities. I think I’m just sensitive to one part of it, and that sensitivity shouldn’t write it off fornwhat it could be.
