Is anyone interested in making feedback to this site? It feels that this project was indeed great but I doubt that I don't have any expert advice.

Thank you, guys! Just private message me if what is your advise thanks!
I think you're missing the forest for the trees. With only a passing interest in environmental policy and without doing any research, I can think of numerous environmental policies rolled back or being rolled back by the Trump administration and congressional Republicans. To even act like the two national parties are even closely aligned on environmental policy is simply sticking your head in the sand.
Ah, right, forgot about those options.

Still, if you know that you're connecting to a server that's setup with password-based auth, then what would be the point of waiting? You'll inevitably have to provide a password as some point anyway, so the keylogger argument seems silly.

And if someone has the ability to install a keylogger on a machine that uses peer or certificate auth, then that someone almost certainly already has the ability to just connect directly using that same peer or certificate auth.

How could the math possibly work out on this? If a gallon of gas holds 33.70 kWh of energy, and you can get cheap electricity for $0.1/kWh, you're looking at $3.37/gallon if you have a magical process that converts with 100% efficiency. Even if you hit your efficiency goal, which would be impressive, who is paying $7/gallon for gas? Just buy an electric car. This can only possibly be useful when all of the oil is gone and there is no other alternative, right?
I don't specifically know the history of IMAP, particularly IMAP UID, but the semantics of UID to me implies that it was originally specified to permit its implementation as the file offsets into the mbox files that backed the store, and I believe some IMAP servers implemented it that way.

Some IMAP server implementations have a custom attribute they use to indicate a globally-unique message ID.
Some of the companies that do upgrading include Vertimass, Gevo, Swedish Biofuels, for example, and there are some methods that are not under patent protection that anyone can use. Basically a catalyst that dehydrates the alcohols and oligomerizes them into longer carbon chains. No other products than a combustible fuel.

Ahh. I remember being forced to install Quicktime 4.0 because I wanted to watch Star Wars: The Phantom Menace trailer.

Another proprietary menace back then was RealMedia and RealPlayer.

Some time later the .dll codec blobs for both QuickTime and RealMedia were horribly hacked to run under mplayer (and Linux) by the mplayerhq.hu people.

It was pretty cool feat back then.

I'll read up on how Mono handles it. I've never done too much .NET and I'm a recovering JVM dev, I was just asking out of curiosity since that is a pretty thorny feature to tackle. I can think of a number of dangers/shortcomings with any approach I can think of.
What you seem to ignore each time when doggedly defending MS is that this is not some checklist of grievances towards them, that once "fixed" will make everything be just fine again. No, Microsoft have proven that they couldn't care less about the privacy or concerns of large parts of their customer base.

Windows 10 telemetry is not an oopsie or one time thing. It's an entire saga that got wide press coverage every time Microsoft was playing dumb, diverting attention or making up excuses and generally being asses.
Windows 10 updates completely ignoring the wishes of the owner of the PC is not a one time thing either.

Microsoft has simply lost respect for its customers, it thinks it can throw some open source bones over the fence to keep the nerds happy and switch to SaaS, this time copying Google instead of Apple. They deserve zero respect for that, no matter how many terminals they include in their OS.

The fact that half the people in this subthread think that your version is less readable and half think it's more is really strange to me. If you have to traverse more lines and scroll down and switch between lines to track variables and conditions, that's unpleasant to parse. On the otherhand, excessively dense code where you have to figure out which of multiple function calls or syntax constructions to start at, then that's unreadable, too. But if you can do one thing and do that one thing in one line with predictable syntax, that's the ideal solution. I have a hard time empathizing with those who prefer verbosity over succinctness.
Thanks, I've been looking for something like this! :)
Definitely think that it would have been a good tool to counter fraud/abuse. The issue of course would be that abuse of said tooling and the rise of ad-tech is what's caused the major issues we see today. I'd imagine that it would be useful to perhaps, flag accounts that were created on the same machine as a tool to help detect when users are trying to circumvent abuse control tools.

Sure, someone can create another account using a new browser, within a VM, from another computer, inside a VPN. It's all about making it much harder. If the primary use of fingerprinting was to protect community from bad actors, like those violating a set of community guidelines, then maybe the extra effort it would take to get around those issues might give them enough time to diffuse.
I have cron jobs on my VM that auto restart services, and for managed VMs, providers reboot and install security updates w/o giving me any say beyond a certain point. Although warnings are given.

Windows has a slew of options. A giant dialog popped up asking me if I wanted to enable installing updates during quiet hours. I selected yes. I was given choices for when quiet hours are. The OS also has options to auto-detect quiet hours.

The idea is good, I just wish the implementation was foolproof. Then again the desktop it doesn't work on is ancient and has been updated from Windows Vista to 7 to 10, so it is a bit finicky. The various update mechanisms work fine on my other machine.
Looks like GCC doesn't have a pragma to enable it on a per-object-file basis. Pity. From the pragma docs I get the impression it's not so much that it would be a bad idea, as simply not something they've got round to implementing.

I don't imagine it's possible to check using a static assert, either.

I'm not sure, it just seems likely to me. I'm enjoying reading Ray Dalio's Big Debt Crises right now, which covers these cycles.
Right— so you're saying a path that allows people to persist in their actions is unacceptable to environmentalists because it allows them to continue in their actions. More or less?

I'm unclear where "conservatives" comes into play. I've never considered myself a political conservative, TBH.
How do you decide whether to interpret byte output from a CLI app as UTF-8 or legacy OEM code page?
Looks good, but at $25 a month I'd rather use free until I have a spot for it on my monthly expenses.
As your operation gets bigger, the scale generally starts to tip in favor of running your own hardware. But 600 SQL Server instances is fairly large—when that number is in the single digits, the cost of DBAs/DevOps dwarfs that of the hardware. So the scale of your business matters a lot, and it's not useful to generalize this to all companies.

Edit: Your math seems off as well. Don't forget that you'd have to pay the SQL Server license regardless of where it's hosted, as well as the cost of dedicated hardware if you go that route, so the difference between the two options will be much smaller than $39k per instance. And I don't know if that salary number is real, but $150k including overhead seems really low for a good DBA (at least in the US)—I would expect at least $200k.
Like someone said in another comment, you'll still have existing gas-powered vehicles(current cars, jet aircraft, etc.) for some time, and they have to get that gas somewhere. Better from a net zero source than to add to our carbon debt.
Is this satire? The original four-line snippet is pretty darn clear in terms of intent, run-time cost, and potential errors or side effects. Slicing it into continuations so you can overload assignment, or vice versa, is making one mistake to enable another.

I'm sold. This post did a good job of addressing my concerns with the syntax, plus a couple others. I'm now looking forward to postfix match.

The honest reason boils down to "there's a lot more closing down of generic TCP than HTTP in firewalls and application privilege frameworks."

Email has the other unfortunate property that it has arbitrary binary data (message bodies) mixed in with a UTF-8 control stream, which makes SMTP/IMAP/POP/NNTP especially annoying to implement in languages that draw very strong distinctions between binary and text strings, since you can't just wrap the TCP stream in a UTF-8 decoder/encoder and be done with it.
I tend to agree with you. I love what Rust is doing, but can't force myself to use it because it's, to me, not easy to read. As I've grown, I much prefer simpler languages. Go, Python, and to a lesser extent C(while it can be simple, people abuse it in weird ways) all fit the bill. I wonder how many other folks have this simple aversion...
don't you mean "reverted to"?
The GraalVM Frenzy
The Collin Creek mall in Plano, TX has been its way out for a decade, only anchor left is Sears. Most of the internal stores were replaced with Asian massage parlors, not sure that is the useful new businesses you had in mind. Oh yeah, enough seniors power-walking their laps around the interior to power the matrix twice over.

But I don’t blame Amazon, a lot of the department stores have been poorly managed for decades, and they are so bad off now that nobody with a fresh perspective wants to touch them. I think Sears blew it all on canceling their credit cards for inactivity every thirty days then issuing new ones next time you went into the store ;)
It will take approx. 60 kWh/gallon of fuel, or just under 16 kWh/Liter. As long as this electricity is from zero carbon sources and is inexpensive enough, it works. Distillation and other thermal processes typically need to burn fossil fuels. The difference between renewable electrical energy only vs using thermal is really more a difference of kind than of degree. It's really hard to do a thermal process that is truly zero carbon, and hard to do it economically as well.
It is interesting, because a extremely large percentage of these small businesses that are failing are immigrant minority owned.[1] So in many ways keeping small businesses around does make things 'diverse' but it also leads to a much bigger problem. This massive amount of immigration that was meant to help keep the economy running is now failing to keep their businesses going, and falling into high rates of unemployment or underemployment. Does it really serve our economy to have a bunch of immigrants whose main mode of economic activity is starting small businesses that are not very viable, and hiring all their relatives?

Oh, you want an actual right-click menu? I honestly don't think I've ever heard that _specific_ request before.

While I think this is a good (maybe necessary) move for the drivers in the short term, I think it's inevitably going to be perverted by the PR departments from the companies involved into a "See?! Unions are bad! Look at all the inconvenience they're causing our poor, hapless customers!" The corporate lobbiests are likely to then take that rhetoric and push for regulations to prevent such groups of "contract" employees from being able to strike in the future.

Of course, if the drivers feel exploited enough to form a union in the first place, who are we to say they're wrong? They already know going in that it's likely to be a black mark against them, yet they're doing it anyways. I personally don't live in or visit NY, and don't hire out Uber or Lyft vehicles; so all I really can do is wish them the best, and hope that it turns out in their favor.
"We also removed 21 Facebook accounts, Pages and Instagram accounts that were involved in coordinated inauthentic behavior as part of a small network emanating from Russia that focused on Austria, the Baltics, Germany, Spain, Ukraine and the United Kingdom. The individuals behind this campaign — which was also active on other internet platforms — engaged in a number of deceptive tactics, including the use of fake accounts to join Groups, impersonate other users and to amplify allegations about a public figure working on behalf of intelligence services. They also posted content about local politics including topics like immigration, religious issues and NATO."

"which was also active on other internet platforms" - that is unsettling.
Nope, since I haven't added any non-whitespace characters, rather it is like insisting that people do:

if (a < b) {
return -1;
} else
if (a > b) {
return 1;
} else {
return 0;
}

Unlike your perfectly formatted code there, this has a bit of a visual problem: a one-liner consequent is fully braced, whereas a multi-line alternative isn't.

Ternary operators are different. They have confusing nesting and do not support the equivalent of the "if/else ladder" pattern very well.
> I don't think comparing the public transportation of a city notorious for its NIMBYism and catering to one particular class of society is a good idea

Why not? It's a realistic example, and it seems like a lot of American cities have similar problems. It's fine to speculate on how much better the world would be in an ideal universe with robust mass transit and spherical cows, but right now we're talking about the actual cost of living differences in actual cities.
There are always customer acquisition costs. But you hope you get some combination of repeat customers and the customers who do come end up spending more.

For instance one breakfast place we frequent is always running a $20 worth of food for $10. We always end up spending more. Besides soft drinks have ridiculous margins. Movie theaters make most of their money from concessions, food (movie and dinner type theaters) and the bar.

Thank you for clarifying, this is much easier to have a discussion about.

I have two open questions, I won't try to make a counterclaim (that 2019 is worse), but I can point out where your position feels hollow to me and needs to be shored up.

1) If I accept what you're saying that for the average person life is better in 2019 than in 1950, that doesn't generalize to all humans. My assessment is that life has been pretty good for the average human regardless of the time period, and good governance is more about how bad we let it get for the marginalized few than how good it is in the average case.

2) You listed things that are better for the average human... Are you claiming that there is not an equal (or larger) set of things that's worse? For example: depression, loneliness, anxiety. If your children are all living but you rarely speak to them and are cripplingly lonely, is that a better outcome than having 7 children, four of whom died, and you live in an intact healthy family unit?

(Also, as a side note knowledge is not monotonically increasing with "progress". The Catholic Church tried and partly succeeded at destroying all native language books in Central America, and replaced them with books that seemingly include much less knowledge. Social knowledge loss is one of my biggest concerns with modernity: More knowledge accessible to any individual, less knowledge stored in the overall system. Less culturally usable knowledge for most individuals. Another example: we're probably only just getting back to the same level of total beer making knowledge that was embodied in the system before the mass market beer system.)

In this specific example it doesn't matter if it's Kmart or a one off mom and pop store. You can look at NYC to see how empty store fronts are given preference over renting to new non-giant brands. Landlords have figured out it's better to just let a storefront sit empty for years rather than rent to anyone that isn't an already giant/established brand.

All fixable things, but will take tens of years. Let me use carbon neutral petrol
If we want to stay below 2 degrees C in warming, we don't have time to replace the existing vehicle fleet (approx. 1.2 billion cars, trucks, buses, etc) with electric vehicles. If we instead replace the fuel, this can be fast enough. Even if all vehicles are electric in the future, this is still the right thing to do now.

The lack of numbers is not too great a handicap, as one can design numbers to suits one's needs. For instance, the following is a program for computing the characteristic sequence of primes:

\io.let
zero = \x\y.x;
one = \x\y.y;
consz = \xs\p.p zero xs;
oneS = \cont\x\xs\p.p x (xs cont);
zeroS = \cont\x\xs.consz (xs cont);
primes = \N\p.p one (let SN = \r.oneS (N r); F = SN F in (primes SN) F);
main = consz (consz (primes zeroS))
in main

Removing the minimal syntactic sugar results in

\io.(\zero.(\one.(\consz.(\oneS.(\zeroS.(\primes.(\main.main) (consz (consz (primes zeroS)))) ((\f.(\x.x x) (\x.f (x x))) (\primes.\N.\p.p one ((\SN.(\F.primes SN F) ((\f.(\x.x x) (\x.f (x x))) (\F.SN F))) (\r.oneS (N r)))))) (\cont.\x.\xs.consz (xs cont))) (\cont.\x.\xs.\p.p x (xs cont))) (\xs.\p.p zero xs)) (\x.\y.y)) (\x.\y.x)

Would you be willing to share vague details of your roadmap?

Specifically; How many barrels of ready to burn gasoline are you outputting per day in 6 months? 1 year? 3 years?

The fact that the general fuel is going to be sold and re-burned means this is at best carbon neutral, so from a cynical environmentalist point of view, what's the point? This can't help anyone unless you pump the synth-gas into the ground and sequester it, but that isn't VC-backed viable.

If you are using some sort of membrane to pull out distillates without heat, why wouldn't you just sell that to existing petro-chemical companies for their distillation processes? What non-thermal-energy related benefits come with this membrane?

The poster gave important information in another thread: 60kWh per gallon of gas, aiming for ~5 cents per kWh, ~$3.00 per gallon into distribution channels. That makes it instantly cheaper than petrol in, at minimum, the UK
As long as you don't have a way to exchange back for cash, it's likely protected under all the same laws that make Chuck E Cheese legal.

And a lot of these basically copy the 'packs' mechanic from collectible card games, so those would have to be affected too, by any new law.
Don't skate to where the puck is, skate to where the puck is going to be.

Electric cars can't compete against gasoline cars until the price hits about $6/gallon. And considering that crude prices are relatively low, but gas in CA is almost $4/gallon in the Bay Area, it doesn't take much time for normal rates to hit $6/gallon in the next 10 years or so.

At that price, it becomes more economic and that's the time frame probably what they're targeting as well.
I expect I'll see new battery powered aircraft before I see today's aircraft powered by kerosene synthesized from water and carbon dioxide in the air. And we'll probably see more rail/car before then since the massive cost increase on airline tickets from this will destroy the industry.

Everything mentioned there is because of its ubiquity, nothing about how the way HTTP operates makes it more suitable. What you link even says:

> the encoding/transport part of JMAP [i.e. HTTP] is not core to its operation, so future specifications could easily add alternatives

So HTTP is useless for this except for the fact that everyone uses it.
