It is two technologies combined: SIM (security information management) & SEM (security event management) == SIEM

The SIM came from the requirement to collect events (operations).

SEM stems from the desire to monitor / detect (security).

When we (the operators & security people) realized we where both collecting sort of the same data, the plan was hedged to combine resources and build something that satisfied both our needs. Marketing realized this as a great way to pitch a story that actually made sense to everyone involved: the SIEM market exploded.

Yea, states get to chose president and they are weighted on their population. Welcome to representative democracy.

I don’t buy this argument. If it was majority rules, like Brexit, you would complain about that when it didn’t go “your” way.

Frankly speaking its surprising Perl 6 hasn't taken off yet. Its a language which has Java like potential. Not sure where the efficiency/speed story has gone so far(Which was preventing adoption?). But pretty much any one I have shown the language has been floored by it so far.

I guess a killer framework is lacking too.

The Japanese transcription in that link can be misleading because it seems to redact the manner he speaks. (They do this kind of editing a lot when they transcribe dialects.)

Here is a recording of how he speaks: https://youtu.be/zz3tuIbYvmY?t=60 - he has a grandpa-like way of speaking to some extent, but I don't think it's age as much as it's dialect. Many younger people with his dialect speak similarly. For example, どうや and 何や are perfectly normal for a 20 year old from the region to say.
Hi Chandler!

Is it just me, or the original Googler's posting on llvm-dev does not explain their motivation beyond the vague "doesn't quite address"? I guess some solid list of problems hard to resolve could help.

Also, as you say, it's a community decision now, what will be a plan if community NACKs the proposal? A BoringLibc from scratch? Commitment to contribute hard fixes to glibc and/or mail?
> Having it manually curated is too much of a task for any organization.

ODP/DMOZ worked quite well while it was around. I don't think it would work equally well nowadays as a centralized project, because bad actors are so much more common today than they were in the 1990s and early 2000s; and because the Internet is so astoundingly politicized these days that people will invariably try to shame you and "call you out" for even linking to stuff that they disagree with or object to in a political sense (and there was a lot of that stuff on ODP, obviously!). But federation could be used to get around both issues.
It's not the same. If I watch a video I know it might been have edited or deep-faked before it was uploaded. However it's somewhat surprising for me that it still can be edited after the upload.

having encountered some buttons with significant amounts of text: nothing is off-limits IMO. frequently tho, yea, "ok" isn't useful to allow to be selected.

On the other hand, getting people to copy what they see rather than read it out loud incorrectly can, pretty often, cut several rounds of back-and-forth out of remote tech support. It seems insane because it is, but yes - copying text in a button rather than having them say "I clicked the yes button" (when no such button exists) is a useful feature.

> But if the waste biomass is just going to rot if we don’t burn it, the carbon will return to the atmosphere without having any energy harvested along the way. Might as well get something out of the cycle.

This perfectly illustrates the problem with overemphasis on 'carbon accounting.' It leads well-meaning people advocate cutting down the last shreds of wilderness on environmental grounds, because this pernicious carbon oversimplification says we're not "getting something" out of that wilderness land.

In truth wilderness cleans air and water pollution, wetlands and forests buffer precipitation to prevent floods and droughts, and large-canopy trees ~single-handedly cycle rain back up and power the terrestrial water cycle (you heard me right, trees cause ~all inland rain). Even if you prefer to exsanguinate nature and reduce it to bean-counting 'ecosystem services,' surprisingly humans do get something from letting carbon rot blissfully undisturbed on a forest floor somewhere.

So it's not quite accurate to say "the carbon will return to the atmosphere without having any energy harvested along the way" -- bugs and fungi are "getting something" too! This seems insignificant, but such decomposition organisms play major ecosystem roles in breaking down air and water pollutants.

To bastardize Arthur C. Clark, "nature is indistinguishable from sufficiently advanced technology."

> Granted, we are speeding up the cycle by burning it now vs rotting over time, [but] the balance of carbon is the same.

Except in this case, that time variable is very important! It's basic math:

The rate of carbon sequestered per hectare per year is constrained by sunlight and photosynthesis, so the only parameter we can tweak to achieve further gains is the time: how long is the average carbon atom removed from the atmosphere? 1 year? 100 years? Because in the latter case, the equilibrium amount of carbon that can be stored (tonnes/hectare) is 100x greater. Try getting a 100x improvement in photosynthesis!

Humans have so far released ~1,600 gigatonnes from fossil fuels, and Earth has 11.9 gigahectares of non-tundra land. Dividing, that requires 134 tonnes of additional carbon stored (as trees, soil, buildings, somehow) per hectare.
Forests store up to 600 tonnes/hectare, so this at least seems physically and thermodynamically achievable (unlike most "carbon sucking machine" proposals).

If carbon is stored in biomass at 5 tonnes/ha/year, to sequester 134 tonnes/ha, again by simple division we must store that carbon for an average of at least 27 years. Or longer, if you want to 'alter' less than 100% of Earth's surface. :)

Obviously the only practical way to implement this is to integrate this carbon storage in our agricultural and built landscapes. What we need is high-carbon-density agricultural systems, suburbs, and cities.
Huh. I think I've run into the same 20-30% figures a lot and just sort of filed them as Internet fact in the back of my head. It's heartwarming to know that actual studies put the number around 0,5-3%

It doesn't take much thought to figure out why the 20-30% numbers are trumpeted loud and wide: The implications are nasty and visceral and when there's a number like that you feel like there's a point behind it, so you start to wonder. Of course, it's the same as with any fear peddler; if you get an emotional response to a news that seems to touch your life, you can be pretty sure you're being sold snake oil for someone else's benefit.

Why not take the message of this research in a positive manner: Of those who suspect false paternity, less than a third are correct.

This is Perl, the native language of Tim Toady, so this is to be expected.

I've been thinking that the only way to get around the bad-actor (or paid agent) problem when dealing with online networks is to have some sort of distributed trust mechanism.

I feel like manually curated information is the way to go, you just have to find some way to filter out all the useless info and marketing/propaganda. You can't crowd source it because it opens up avenues for gaming the system.

The only solution I can think of is some sort of transitive trust metric that's used to filter what's presented to you. If something gets by that shouldn't have (bad info/poor quality), you update the weights in the trust network that led to that action so they are less likely to give you that in the future. I never got around to working through the math on this, however.
What if you use the human as the backup? So they are looking for things the ML system missed. (As well as confirming the things it found.)
The article here seems to miss the point a bit I think. I'd say most people don't really consider the word 'lying' to mean the same thing within an employment scenario.

If people, in general, did treat their jobs as being "real" and as a reflection of their character, rather than as a sort of different 'mode' of humanity, then the world would not quite look the way it does today.
Lazy Io was an unfortunate historic accident, one which is preached much against in the Haskell community. Alternative standard libraries abound in the ecosystem that remove this accident.

I think that those that believe in Bitcoin as a store of wealth, believe that its volatility is temporary. The assumption (or hope) is that its taking a volatile path upwards and will eventually, like gold, reach relative stability at a much higher price than what it is currently.

Couldn't it be argued that Bitcoin's volatility is a temporary
This, and I also strongly argue that compiler implementations should be untied from standard libraries, and this also applies to libc++/libstdc++. A compiler shipping its runtime is a bad idea that totally screws up compatibility (just look at how painful it is to use MINGW + C++ on Windows because it can't link with VS's C++ Runtime - I understand that MS headers are crap to parse, but with a bit of effort clang now does it fine), and ties them together and prevents reuse. In an ideal world shipping a runtime should be the OS's role, not the compiler's, and the compiler should make use of whatever the platform ships, instead of having N compilers shipping N different, incompatible libraries. The interface between the library and the compiler would then become a true language standard, instead of "library for compiler version X.Y.Z"

Surprising?

1) The Perl 5 community itself was dwindling before Perl 6.

2) Perl 6 took a good chunk of time to arrive.

3) It's still not 100% baked.

4) Perl 6 is mostly a different language.

5) Perl in general doesn't have a good "name" with todays devs

6) There's no killer app

7) Python got the data/science niche, Node got the web/services niche, Go got the backend niche - what's left for Perl 6?

8) The libs are also lacking.

9) Too complex to begin with (kitchen sink offering), at a time when devs started valuing simplicity more than before.

10) Maturity of implementation, tooling, support, etc.

11) No major commercial backing...
I find Newton's Third tends to apply, extremely consistently, in politics. For every action there is an equal, but opposite, reaction. In the US you can even see this as a now at least century long trend:

- raging 1920s

- warring 1940s

- civil rights 1960s

- corporate 1980s

- identity politics 2000s

- ?? 2020s

This isn't so much about the politicians in office, but rather society itself shifting back and forth. We, probably as an evolutionary imperative, are never satisfied. So we assume the opposite of the present must be better and we push hard in that direction until we begin to forget the past and suddenly decide that the opposite of the present must be better and start to push hard back in the other direction. The entire cycle repeats on about a 20 year period. Probably not coincidentally about the time it takes for a new generation, who has 0 living experience of the 20 years before their birth, to come into existence. And they, like all youth, tend to rebel against the status quo. Perhaps their lack of voting is also why this trend tends to be more about society than its politicians.

It creates this amusing and constantly recurring paradox. The people lobbying hard for one side or the other ultimately end up creating the exact opposite. I think the only way this cycle would ever end is if people, in general, became more moderate and resistant to radicals. But then perhaps that, itself, would become the ideology that is rebelled against!

Think for yourself: what is happening underneath all these distractions by loud and obnoxious clowns? Am I possibly missing something important while all this fuss and nonsense is distracting the general public?

Because, we are living in an age of cults. The mechanics of the cult process are well and truly understood by the rich and powerful at this point, and we are never going to be safe for as long as we are members, unwittingly, of a cult for which we don't know the real purpose.
I dislike being the pessimist but it seems overly optimist to imagine this singularity coming and undoing all of mankind’s harm... and I can imagine how someome at his age would embrace this view that surely, soon, automagically everything will be in order.

How long till we attain singularity? I believe another of his liftime and we’ll still be far away from true self-replicating GAI. I also believe climate change will transform our way of living long before that.

What will be it’s primary purpose? I don’t know, it’s definitely not going to be built to enrich mankind.

I like his view and I hope he is right but I believe the ‘singularity’ will solve how to further enrich its makes long before it solves the planet’s ailments.

>Perl's print (even in very old versions of Perl, dating long before say arrived) also accepts expressions as arguments, so you can write: `print join "\n", @array;`

How's that different from any other language? Isn't the expression argument evaluated before being passed to print, so at that point it's just a string anyway?

>>> print ", ".join(["a","b","c"])
a, b, c

Or, if the point is about omitting the automatic newline, comma in python suppresses it:

>>> print "\n".join(["a","b","c"]),
a
b
c

That's a desired effect for the decision makers. They want to have selfsustained economy. They were pretty explicit that they want to have production back, I assume they didn't mean it for export.

Also it's easier to control local companies because you have a jurisdiction over them. Look at europe, they don't have any major high tech companies, so they can only choose which threats and risks they want to deal with us or chinese. Can't avoid it, unless they drop particular tech at all.
Poland was the domino and after it got its freedom one after another the rest of the countries in Eastern Europe gained their independence.

This put immense pressure on the Soviet Union after people in some of its republics like Georgia and the Ukraine decided that they wanted their freedom too.

The military panicked and staged a coup against Gorbachev. It then dawned on the Russians that they could have their freedom as well.

I see your point but I think that might do more harm than good. When nuclear goes wrong it goes really wrong, but it's still way better than petroleum or coal. Discouraging nuclear is the last thing we need right now when oil companies have so little accountability for carbon emissions.

Unless you define what you mean by 'actual work' you'll get skewed results. Answers will be subjective and differing based on the kind of work someone does.

E.g. in my case (engineering manager, not coding anymore):

- I spend an average of 9 hours at work (some days are longer and some are shorter)

- I spend an avg of 5 hours in meetings (I DO consider this work, thankfully our meetings are mostly meaningful)

- I spend around 1.5 hours a day preparing for these meetings (especially the ones I lead)

- I get very little 'focused time' if you do the math, I usually block some time on lighter days to progress with work that needs such focus, e.g. writing or reviewing proposals, roadmaps, strategies, processes etc.

Statement from Kolibri Image (German):

https://kolibri-image.com/causa-datenschutz/

Google translate:

https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=&sl=de&tl=en&u=htt...

tl;dr

The Data Protection Authority of Hessen suggested Kolibri Image to draft their own data processing agreement and get Packlink, located in Madrid, to sign it. [1]

Kolibri Image then stated that they would "leave things as they are", which was incorrectly interpreted to mean that they'd use Packlink without an agreement instead of not using Packlink in the future.

In addition, Kolibri Image forgot to update one of their six data processing agreements on various websites which still mentioned Packlink, so their clarification of the matter was not believed.

Finally, the case was dropped because it (partially?) happened before the 24th of Mai.

[1] Drafting a data processing agreement for Packlink is of course not very practical because who knows how they handles their data and why would Packlink sign it in the first place if they don't want to offer a data processing agreement. In addition, the cost of drafting and translating the agreement is much more expensive than the savings from using Packlink as a shipping processor.

In any case, I agree that fining after asking for advice is not a friendly move.

The elderly are particularly vulnerable. I'm a Canadian and I'd like to plug an international charitable movement called Cycling Without Age[1]. In helping found a local chapter, I've really started to see how common social isolation is, independent of health and wealth and even in urban density. But I've also seen how even a single short social connection can have enduring benefit. Unlike some afflictions of aging, loneliness is a relatively solvable problem.

Take care of your older friends and family and neighbours, and maybe even offer to connect with a stranger once in a while. It's good for everyone! :-)

Learning a language that is almost completely useless for your company is still useful for you. It adds to your skill set, increases your market value and keeps you learning.

Only learning corporate-approved languages is a bit shortsighted. Tech companies, development paradigms and programming languages all have shorter lifespans than humans. COBOL and Fortran, once very successful and popular languages have stopped being mainstream for a while. And those two were the survivors of their batch. Who knows how many then-popular languages have faded away to obscurity?

Also you have to keep learning even if you are to stick to the same language. Java is not 1.6 anymore. Languages keep evolving by borrowing good ideas from other languages. So why not use your learning time to stay ahead of the curve?

Edit: All languages have their places, even in big companies. Could Whatsapp and Discord have grown at the same pace while using Java/C#? BEAM is the right tooling for them and it has paid off.
