I don't really know Racket. But from what i've seen, it's mostly sold as a language to create new languages in. Rascal on the other was designed to analyse existing languages. They wanted to have a single framework to analyse both Java and C++ for example. The goal was to be able to easily add new syntax and reuse semantic analysis, I believe.

Things I Learned from Gary Vaynerchuk
I'm mostly comfortable with thinking it's evolution as crazy variety and selective breeding came very late to the party. Most in the last few hundred years - lots of the breeds we know are from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.

I would guess that for most of our co-existence breeding was up to the dog to figure out, which might explain the oldest breeds being of a particular region. Task breeds came very much later.

Edit: Also, how do you selectively breed for muscles that didn't previously exist?
In 40 minutes driving north from Mountain View I think you'll be in SF at best.

You might make it to North Bay/Marin - which is true that it's rural, but it's not because it's a secret or far from humanity or anything. It just has the fiercest NIMBYs on the planet who are fine with all their services being provided by day laborers with 2 hour commutes.
This seems like less of a flaw and more of an "undocumented feature".
What Is the 'Reid Technique,' and Was It Used with the Central Park 5?
Nah, this is very dangerous thinking, that somehow we're so much better than every other country. Truth to be told, aside very limited exceptions, life in the USA is quite bad for a lot of people, and very risky. Most countries have a better safety net than here, either through government or familial ties.
The same technology was very successfully used to fly to the moon. Cores aren’t so much suspended when they are wholly embedded in epoxy.
Man, this canard gets really tiring. Don't get me wrong: I was crazy about university as a place of learning and added a "useless" major & minor from a career perspective to take advantage of the opportunity to learn

But 1) this doesn't reflect the priorities of the vast majority of people, 2) this wasn't to the exclusion of paying attention to what's marketable (ie my other major), and 3) it beggars belief to claim that any significant number of people are intentionally taking on high debt loads in order to play-pretend being an unemployable philosopher-aristocrat.

Leaving aside whether society _should_ be providing the no-strings-attached opportunity for a broad-based education[1] as disconnected from economic productivity, it's beyond laughable to claim that students are actually making this choice en masse in the knowledge that their education is unmarketable.

A misguided and anachronistic belief in the marketability of arbitrary degrees is a far more plausible explanation.

There is a mapping from phone number to identity, but the phone number isn't itself the identity.
Hope you're prepared to swallow; I can think of several dozen young engineers across 5 states (California, Indiana, Florida, North Carolina, and New Jersey) with VAX/OpenVMS domain expertise, myself included. Legacy systems with 30-year lifecycles are a thing...they're just not what most of commercial industry is accustomed to supporting. If you think LM would have an issue filling this position internally (for the right price), you'd be mistaken.
> Since the database schema is a compromise of all the various applications, that schema will not conform to the object model of any particular application.

Here it jumps to objects instead of database VIEWs, that can be tailored for each application. There's no need for complex object models when you embrace the db and you don't treat it as a dumb store.
This is interesting.

Yep. It's quite clever, actually: chinese people come to other countries, they use wechat, they make friends, their friends want to communicate with them so they start using wechat. It's penetrating other markets that way, slowly but surely.
I hate my Samsung Smart TV too. It auto-installed a Rakuten TV app that several times a week would switch from the only channel we watch (BBC News) to channel 4000 showing trailers for its video-on-demand pay per view service.

Samsung makes it very hard to uninstall this 'feature' and even kills threads about it on its web site support forum.

I had to got back to the shop I bought it from and threaten to return the TV as defective unless they sent instructions for permanently removing it.

Samsung, you should be ashamed of yourself, taking such an obviously anti-customer stance. My next TV certainly won't be a Samsung.

And hopefully several other people reading this won't buy a Samsung either. Vote with your wallet, folks!
So the most recent thread is from 11 months ago. Isn’t that considered “about a year” though?
> This isn't even an efficient way of doing things since muscles are less efficient than electric motors.

Even more so if you factor in the entire human biological system. Humans are pretty shit at converting food to mechanical energy, to say nothing of considering the entire chain from sunlight on. And our average power output is nothing worth speaking about either.

A pedal-powered work bench of some sort (where the pedalling is an ancillary activity to the primary work e.g. pottery wheel or loom or whatever) can make sense, the mechanical energy requirement are limited and most of the work is relevant to human skills. But for primary power production it makes limited sense, at least in developed countries.

> Just stick a solar panel array on your factory and be done with it.

For factories sure but there is a huge advantage to pedal-powered prime movers: they're very easy to slap together and maintain. Solar panels are not always easy to have in low-infrastructure / developing country environments, slapping belts and rods onto a bicycle frame is much more accessible.
Useful, but a shame none come with any extra context. Just the “from 300k to 9billion” blurb.

Have a look at Buffer. Already had around 5 investors before going for a big round. Not dissing this at all. This is totally normal, but the less experienced might think one nice pitch deck will get you from 0 to Billions in one round.
More than half have no code "they own" or OSS contributions they would show off to an interview (the last part is important). That's neither an exaggeration nor trying to find a justification.

In any other setting this might sound stupid, but I wish that article came with pictures. Honestly, could they not at least have sprinkled in some Picasso works.
You mention the two most important points about Brave that are mostly overlooked when it is suggested as an alternative to Chrome:

2) Brave. Is. An. Ad. Company.

I think renewable energy with no quality of living sacrifice and a lot of money means that this will not be possible for a lot of people without other changes.

I'm fortunate enough to be able to afford to pay twice as much for the electricity we consume and not have to sacrifice anything. I'd guess, based on your comment, you are on the same, privileged, boat. Others are not so lucky, which means that they will need some sort of help, which might not be politically palatable because, mainly shortsightedness.

3. The flicker fusion issue mostly applies to cathode ray displays and moving pictures. Many LCDs use flickering light (PWM) for backlight, but usually at more than 200Hz. Better LCDs use linear current sources for backlight, so there's no flicker at all. An LCD should be fine even for dogs when static images are displayed.
I'm not sure that actually helps, because most people don't consider personal embarrassment similar to the serious reasons privacy is important.

For example, the consequence of the bathroom door being opened is fairly predictable and honestly, benign. But the consequence of someone gaining power of your life through knowing information that you thought was private is quite unfathomable. Which is why we often describe it as "creepy" even though we can't actually assign any specific negative consequence to it. Perhaps the most important thing of all is that humans have simply evolved to have this "creepy" detector as a built in defense mechanism, and we find it very disturbing and psychologically upsetting when it goes off. The simple fact that this is the human condition (whether valid or not) is sufficient to warrant it being respected.

CIA is able to spy but Samsung doesn't even get screen mirroring work on my TV. Thankfully, I disabled the internet connectivity and forget about it, it turned out to be a good thing maybe.

I have one of those LG OLED TVs and everything about it is just fine. It's perfectly fast; the OS is based on Palm webOS, so it's okay, but you still don't have to touch it. They are regularly for sale at less than half retail price if you wait six months.

The only ergonomic problem is devices fighting each other over HDMI CEC; if I turn it on to use the Switch, then the Bluray player likes to turn itself on, force the TV to switch to it, and then start autoplaying a disc!
True. Now that you mention it. I seem to remember having iMessage (the feature) be opt-in in Europe. So the feature is on by default in the US for sure? I guess that somehow negates my earlier post. But I suppose people would notice the green bubbles everywhere and remember to turn it on.

Hmm is this a defense against antitrust concerns as well?

My brief understanding. If you have auto login enabled, it is possible to gain access to an account secrets stored in a security store. That sounds bad, but with auto login you are already unlocking an account. No CVE posted. No description of mitigation. A hostile view of Microsoft in closing remarks.

People would care about data if it actually impacted anyone in a tangible negative way. IRL getting served relevant ads and simply having 'more data out there' isn't terrible enough to make most people give up using the Internet.
The article mentions that the trait is observable at only 4 weeks old. It might not be crazy to think that Humans are more likely to select the puppies that demonstrate the trait. It might not be "natural" selection, but if Humans are making a substantial amount of the breeding decisions for dogs then it could still be a form of evolution.
They won't be quality competitive with newer cheap smart TVs, which are all very good - they support 4K/wide color and have dynamic backlighting good enough for HDR.

If you insist on a dumb TV and are in Silicon Valley I'll sell you my Panasonic 1080p TV from ~7 years ago. It's got an IPS panel!
If anyone's made the mistake I did and did accept it, there is some factory reset type of thing in the menus. After that, don't accept anything and never give it access to the internet.
To find modern dumb TVs, you usually need to look at the "commercial" or "business" lines (sometimes called "digital signage). Companies make them hard to find.

I have a 55" 4K LG dumb tv and I'm very happy with it:
https://www.lg.com/ca_en/commercial-tv/lg-55UX340C-public-di...

It's just a tv. It turns on and off quick. The remote-control is simple. The only downside is it only has 2 HDMI inputs, and it doesn't do HDR.

Retrospecting (using head, not some “guide”)
I'm 46, and my first real job was as a computer operator (sysadmin-lite) for VAX/VMS systems back in 1991. At the time, VAX/VMS systems were computing powerhouses. In comparison, almost all Unix-based systems outside of AT&T were toys or performed light computing work (even DEC's own VAX/Ultrix). VAX systems were still high-end mainframe computers well into the 90s. VMS had some great features back then which Unix only adopted later.

IRC was a fun venue for that one ~25 years ago.

Pop into some random channel, send "/ctcp #channel ping +++ATH0", and wait patiently... a moment or two later you would be rewarded with a flood of "signoff" messages as the users' TCP sessions to the IRC server timed out (by responding to the CTCP, they had, in effect, told their modems to hang up).

The goal, of course, was to get the highest "body count" possible from a single CTCP message.

Smurf attacks, the "ping of death", AOHell, the latest sendmail and wu-ftpd holes of the week, open proxies... the Internet was a very entertaining place for a bored teenager from the midwest back then.

Thanks for the flashback!
Was your edit on something politically sensitive?
I ask because this could e.g. be an edit about TCP congestion control in the wild; or an edit about the link between autism and vaccines.

I inspected all my outlets after finding out what 60VAC feels like going up one arm and down the other (touched two server cases, one on a grounded outlet, the other floating). I found several suprises: a knob and tube circuit had been "upgraded" to 3-prong faceplates without wiring the ground to _anything_, and some outlets were backwards. You never know if it's the work of a DIY electrician unless you get it checked out.
I think we misunderstand each other because of terminology. You understood me as class props, but what I meant is component props: <Component prop={something} />. In React world this is different from class props because if the prop changes it also causes the component to update. React separates the component "template" (class or function) and "node" placed in the component tree, the props are updating the node contrary to WebComponents where you have a class instance directly. In WebComponents I have to catch the underlying HTMLEntity and then set the props on the class (in React we're not setting the props on the class itself, it's separated for the ability to handle updates) and then handle all updates myself instead of just passing the complex object as a prop.

Hooks are an extension of that - it is a different way to pass values around, a very powerful one.

I think this article is quite misleading as to the severity of the issue. It is basically by design.

TL;DR; provided you are an administrator on a Windows machine you can read encrypted user data from another user's home directory without having him login first.

In the video they show you have to be able to read other user's profile, which you are unable to do, unless you are already an administrator.
Came across this when looking for some inspiration on concretizing abstract skills. Found it interesting. Deep game, eh?
Probably because this is not a security issue, as you have to be an administrator on the machine to be able to do that.

In one of the documentaries about the Vulcan raid on the Falklands (1982), one of the pilots interviewed remarked that somebody flying Avro Lancasters in WWII would have felt right at home in the cockpit of the Avro Vulcan. E.g. the navigator used mechanical clocks to keep track of when to turn, and so on.

Not sure if this was a conscious decision wrt EMP, or was it just that they were in a hurry to develop a jet bomber for delivering nukes and they reused existing stuff as much as possible.

For airplanes flying at high altitudes with modern computers, random bit flips from comsmic radiation is actually a very real threat that has to be considered. IIRC there's about a factor of about 300x more radiation at 30000 ft and 900x at 60000 ft.

Core memory is a lot less sensitive to this than most memory types, so it makes some sense to store the most flight critical data in such a memory.
I've seen that as well. I've also seen optimism doom teams in the forms of failing to anticipate obstacles, making unreasonable promises in binding documents, and underestimating project effort.

Seems like being objective and calibrating your expectations appropriately based on the risks you can or can't accept, or the trade-offs you do or don't get to make and avoiding bias or emotional attachments is pretty awfully difficult for humans (even very bright, talented ones) to do.
From wiki for the MiG-25:

The majority of the on-board avionics were based on vacuum-tube technology, not solid-state electronics. Although they represented aging technology, vacuum tubes were more tolerant of temperature extremes, thereby removing the need for environmental controls in the avionics bays. With the use of vacuum tubes, the MiG-25P's original Smerch-A (Tornado, NATO reporting name "Foxfire") radar had enormous power – about 600 kilowatts. As with most Soviet aircraft, the MiG-25 was designed to be as robust as possible. The use of vacuum tubes also made the aircraft's systems resistant to an electromagnetic pulse, for example after a nuclear blast
