> 2. Stabilize, Isolate, and Minimize

I feel this section is a bit neglected in terms of clarity and emphasis, it brushes on a lot of advanced details but looses sight of the basics important to a novice... Anecdotally but with more than one sample, the most common rudimentary mistake I see is someone attempting to isolate a bug upside-down, i.e poking around in small portions of code that do not comprise the whole system involved in the symptom, without any prior reason to be confident that the portion of code is involved.

In 99% of cases, starting with the whole system involved in reliably reproducing the symptom and then bisecting, or some guided divide and conqueror techniques etc, will get to the interesting parts of code fastest and with confidence that allows focus on elusive bugs. Yes this is not guaranteed to work, e.g notoriously difficult bugs with multiple, disparate factors or even timing issues will evade this technique, but you would still attempt it before resorting to more challenging methods.

Perhaps most teachers miss explicit emphasis of this because it seems so obvious to them, it seems implicit to the word isolate, but if I had to pick one single concept for novices, it would be this one.

imgur seems to have this weird and annoying habit of detecting you're browsing from a mobile device even on links direct to the image, and then redirecting you to their site and lowering quality of the image you're looking at. At this point I just don't open imgur links when browsing from my phone.
Politicians don't credit their speech writers and no one seems to care about that -- so appropriating things seems fine in some circumstances?

Artists don't, in general, credit the architects of buildings they draw, nor the gardeners or horticulturalists who make other scenes they might paint/draw. Singers don't credit the creators of life stories they write ballads about.

[IMO the politician is not there as themselves, they're a corporate body really, they can represent views that honestly they wouldn't hold because their backers -- financial, moral, political, or otherwise - hold those views. The problem with that is they don't identify the corporation they represent, IMO they really should be giving traceable credit for all of their inputs.]

The article says "Apple said the update does not require any user interaction and is deployed automatically."

As far as I know, there is no system-wide update mechanism for third party software not distributed through the Mac App Store that does not require any user interaction. So apparently they (ab)used the system update mechanism.

So Looking at Apple's store adding a 1TB SSD to an 21.5" iMac, is now a $600 upgrade and $500 upgrade on an 27" iMac

On amazon a standard consumer can buy a 1TB NVMe Samsung 970 Pro for $329, and I'm guessing Apple aren't paying anything like retail!

Also shocked that Apple are still shipping systems with 5400rpm standard hard drives as default in 2019!
Hey, we are fucking up the environment by altering such a complex system way too fast for it to keep balance. Maybe if we alter it on a whole new scale with our limited understanding of the consequences, we can fix things up?

To be more constructive, this is exactly the kind of hubris that gets me very wary of technoscience.

Let's assume Project Vesta is run by well intentionned folks and has the potential to offer a net positive in a distant future. Even in those conditions, such a project serves the toxic political agenda of not facing the elephant in the room: our growth based economic model is not sustainable and we need to transition away from it.

Based on other comments here, this removal happened via Malware Removal Tool (MRT) which itself is a hidden tool. If yes, then Apple needs to declare Zoom as Malware. For reference, Apple defines Malware here - https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/mac-help/mh27449/10.14....

> I'm glad you agree that unsafe code in the standard Rust library is fine.

I don't. I have no doubts in Vec class because it's used a lot, not because it's in the library.

I'm pretty sure the standard library also has that long tail of barely tested unsafe code.

I've recently looked at sources of stdsimd crate, it has hundreds of unsafe functions doing transmute. I code SIMD intrinsics a lot in C++ and I know they're probably OK. Apparently, wasn't even for pointer math, the only goal of unsafe was to workaround a language limitation (they're pure functions without side effects)

> A malicious dependency is a serious issue

I never found any, but I found bugs in my dependencies many times. Not fun either.

> memory safety problems are incredibly rare in Rust programs compared to those in C++ programs

I agree, quite expectable. BC works two ways, it checks ownership at compile time, also raises entry barrier. Both help with memory safety. The observations don't tell which effect contributes more.

No, and there is no difference, because "infected" in their eyes is not necessarily so in the user's. To give a clear example, AVs have had a long history of false positive problems with things like cracks, keygens, and demoscene productions. Even then, for the most part(? I have not used a persistent AV for a long time) I believe they still tell you first and then let you decide what to do when they find something.

I’ve found that combining Nix with Luigi provides a solution to managing complex reproducible workflows.

https://luigi.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

“Conceptually, Luigi is similar to GNU Make where you have certain tasks and these tasks in turn may have dependencies on other tasks.”

Having this directly type of functionality integrated into Guix (an alternative Nix) looks very interesting. I’d encourage the Guix workflow developers to study Luigi and SciLuigi for inspiration on design ideas.

I will be sure to follow this effort and see how it progresses.

> the elite has to be held to a standard higher than we hold other people

It's so infuriating when U.S. political pundits interpret the Impeachment Clause phrase, "high Crimes and Misdemeanors", as requiring ordinary criminal or even heightened criminal behavior. The qualifier "high" refers to the office, and reflects a notion that public officials in positions of trust should be held to a stricter moral standard than in private life--specifically, the moral standards we should expect of those entrusted with high offices. That is, behavior that would not be criminal for a private individual could be a high crime or misdemeanor for a public official.

See, e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_crimes_and_misdemeanors

It's mostly Republicans who push this interpretation (though Democrats made similar arguments, albeit less vociferously, during Watergate). But Democrats remain silent because the Impeachment Clause is worded in a way that gives Congress an affirmative duty to prosecute high crimes and misdemeanors, and for strategic reasons the Democratic caucus would prefer to shirk that duty.
* You mean like https://www.muenchen.de/rathaus/Stadtrecht/vorschrift/926.ht..., which requires one parking space per apartment (residential use) and also one parking space per 20 to 80 m² for businesses?

* They may be high but motorists still pay less in taxes than the general public contributes to the upkeep of their infrastructure, even when excluding externalised costs (healthcare, climate change accommodation etc).

* The same is true for e.g. New York, whereas (e.g.) London has a fair amount of low-density housing. Not quite sure how this is an argument if the vast majority of space in cities is still reserved for cars (either parking or driving).

My dad grew up in rural Iowa almost 100 years ago. He didn't have electricity or running water and no air conditioning or refrigeration. Ice cream was a rare treat that could be bought on a trip into town or perhaps made in the winter.

Ice was available in the winter, and also in the summer because large blocks of ice would be cut from frozen ponds during the winter and stored in ice houses. These ice houses here partially underground structures, like a barn but buried up to their roof underground.

I saw an ice house that was no longer in use as a young child, and as I recall (I would have been perhaps seven years old) I was told that it was filled with sawdust, hay, or straw to insulate the blocks of ice.

Today, the reported underground temperature in Iowa at 40 inches is about 65°F (18°C) and deeper it can reaches a steady state temperature of 45 to 50°F (7 to 13 °C). I don't know how late into summer those ice blocks survived.

I remember growing up that my father greatly enjoyed making homemade ice cream; I suppose it connected him to the happy times of his quite difficult childhood.
> What is your definition of "debug"?

I mean using a debugger to step through your code.

For many years I have been a fan of debuggers. I thought you couldn't realistically program without a debugger, and I mocked people who used print to look at the values of variables at runtime (which is just a primitive form of logging). Then a friend of mine, who is much better programmer, told me he never uses a debugger. I do not really remember his arguments, something philosophical like the work spent inside the debugger leaves no trace and cannot be re-produced automatically; or that the runtime itself already steps through your code, no need to re-do that from elsewhere. Whatever, out of respect for the expertise of my friend I went debug-free and I cannot be happier.

Maybe the only context where I couldn't do without debugging is assembly programming. But there's been a few years since I last did that.
Thanks, I was wrong, not sure why I believed that it worked. so in the end Linux needs a CCleaner tool like Windows, it should also contain a browser cache cleaner, I sometimes find a few Gb of space in Chromium localstorage/cache and have to hunt them down and delete manually.

>The US is a much more diverse population...

Why is this always a fallback reference point? It is demonstrably false[0,1,2,3] and is continually regurgitated - as if the continued repetition would make it consequently true. There are countries in Europe that are far more diverse than the United States. Full stop.

>But dealing with that chaos, at that scale, produces lessons and learning that won't happen anywhere else, other than probably India.

You could start with your immediate neighbours, yeah? Canada and Mexico are both far more diverse than the United States and would - by your own argument - be far more chaotic than anything the United States or Europe has to deal with, yeah?

I drive regularly through Amsterdam, also during the rush hour, have never seen a 'cyclist traffic jam' nor cyclists being a danger to other road users to the extent that a hit-and-run would require a license plate.

I've also biked in lots of other places besides here locally. License plates for vehicles serve the dual purpose of identification of the owner and taxation. And it makes some sense because the damage a vehicle can do is substantially higher than the damage that a cyclist can do. I draw the line at scooters, they are twice as fast as cyclists; weigh three to five times as much and are typically driven by people who really don't care who lives or dies on the road and are a major cause of injury and death for other unprotected users of the road, such as cyclists and pedestrians. Accidents between pedestrians and cyclists, especially in the city are very rare and usually do not result in grave injury, on top of that the need to ID the rider is absent because likely the cyclist will fall to the ground in any accident where there is risk of injury to others.

Finally, cyclists do not carry mandatory insurance, as is the case with scooters, e-bikes, mopeds, motorcycles and cars. The speeds and masses are higher that the legislator has recognized the potential for damage to property and other participants to an extent that normal liability insurance no longer is sufficient. License plates for cyclists is a solution in search of a problem.

Just another reason, for my part I put a sticker because the translucent apple used to let the sun shine through to my screen while outside. It actually took me a while to understand that it wasn't a screen defect.

I put a layer of aluminium foil (held by double faced adhesive tape) because that's the thinnest completely opaque material I could come up with, and put a sticker on it because it was quite ugly otherwise.
I rode a recumbent, not a trike. I still have half an Ikea in my right leg due to the accident, and I also almost flipped a recumbent trike so please be careful, they are not as stable as they seem.
Lisp doesn't need to use s-expressions (i.e. parentheses), that just-so-happens to be the most popular serialisation format. These examples look more like I-expressions to me ( https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-49/srfi-49.html ); i-expressions and s-expressions are equivalent and can be converted back and forth trivially.

Lisps can also support arbitrary input formats using reader macros, so it might be using that (I haven't looked at the implementation yet).

A: As many as possible: https://github.com/common-workflow-language/common-workflow-...
It's interesting how the english version only notes the official report, and puts the alternative story in a single sentence. The german versions also reads (before citing the official report):

"When the Commander, Lieutenant Captain Schlitt, operated the flushing of the toilet on April 14th, he ignored an order according to which the flushing was to be triggered exclusively by the specialist on board.

Sea water, mixed with Schlitt's excrement and urine, poured into the submarine at high pressure through the open valves.

The toilet specialist was no longer able to close the toilet closures. According to reports of a survivor, the boat sank 'like a stone' into the depths."

To the incident itself: Shit happens. (scnr)
