Trolls always try to wrap their attacks in semi-agreeable contexts so it doesn't get immediately dismissed and can enter mainstream channels. That's the whole idea. Similar to how activists try to wrap everyone who disagrees with them as mere sexists/racists/etc to give their arguments weight and credibility in those same channels - usually using the troll's purposefully provocative behaviour as their evidence and justification.

It's an increasingly popular phenomenon that we need to be conscious of as a culture and not give credence to the trolls while also not using examples from the fringe to pigeonhole the whole.
The previous definition was 400 means the server can't understand the request. Current one is

>The 400 (Bad Request) status code indicates that the server cannot or will not process the request due to something that is perceived to be a client error (e.g., malformed request syntax, invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing).

Of course, a lot of things could be said to be a client error.

My body only tells me I am thirsty when I am already dehydrated.

I'd go to the toilet, notice my urine is dark from dehydration, go on with my day and then only later get thirsty.

Now that I force myself to bring a big water bottle at work and finish it before going home, I never feel thirst.

It probably depends on your body's quirks but telling people to drink only when feeling thirst and not before seems dangerous to me.

How much money is made from the farmland from deforested regions... how much from the lumber and how much from the reuse of the land? How many countries are trading with Brazil for consuming those goods?

It's a big problem, but without some input from trade partners globally and/or other support, I'm not sure what the solution really is. Also, not just in Brazil, but other areas with grasslands that have seen desertification, countering that is very important. It may be necessary to support global efforts to increase diverse planting to portions of agricultural lands to at least try to preserve them. Grazing and crop rotations as well.

Efforts for more diverse use of agriculture as well. More barley and buckwheat, less soy and corn. Less monoculture in the crops, seed varieties of crops we already grow to increase diversity in agriculture. Of course, moving away from Monsonto controlled models, which should mean reverting policy on patents regarding genetic markers and traits.

Right now, too much of the food supply is from mega farms with no diversity and lots of chemical pesticides and resistant strains of crops that are killing off bee populations. I'm not so much against GMO crops as a practice, but definitely need some genetic diversity in the practice. We have the ability to feed the world, we need to start concentrating on doing it better.
Moreover, CERN have educational programmes, they teach.

This, is a reason that this is a great move for the spread of OSS:

>"The comprehensive range of training schemes and fellowships attracts many talented young scientists and engineers to the Laboratory. Many go on to find careers in industry, where their experience of working in a high-tech, multi-national environment is highly valued." (ibid) //

I'd warrant that if people start their career at CERN using OSS they'll help to advocate for those tools as they move out into other industries.

With MS's market share it's probably not significant for them, but it could be significant for whatever OSS tools are favoured at CERN.

It's important because it frames what is happening now in a proper context. For example, in the USA, we are caging climate refugees, many children, in concentration camps. The media doesn't call them climate refugees, but that's what they are. If you understand this, then you understand the problem of people wanting to come is only going to get worse, and it's a moral imperative we let them come.

It's also important to you because it can help you decide where to work, where to live, and what to do.

CERN is not a university and has no student, it's entirely justifiable for Microsoft to not give them a university discount.

Universities have thousands of students that do not generate any revenue. The standard licensing model per person or per computer totally breaks down in that case, asking for a huge bill based only on the sheer amount of users. Education discounts are adjusting for that, large user bases with no money to pay.

That being said. The CERN is a government entity. They should argue to be given government discount.
They originated in the rural Pacific Northwest, because coffee culture isn't just in the city there, but they've spread across the northern half of the Mountain West. This is a very regional bit of Americana, most Americans aren't familiar with it unless they've driven through the backwaters of that part of the country. Sometimes they are truly out in the middle of nowhere on county roads in the wilderness and such, no other buildings for miles, the novelty of which delights people the first time they see it. Small rural towns usually have multiple espresso shacks.

The coffee is legitimately very good in my experience. It is common in that part of the US to drink coffee with neither milk nor sugar.

Here is nice blog about them with a ton of pictures:

I just don't think nationalism is anything but damaging. I am a human being. My self worth isn't related to where I was randomly born. I have no allegiance or pride owed to a passport. Such tribalism is used to justify wars and greed and lots of bad stuff. Even in in posts like these the conversation at its root is "offense" at criticism of "team". Poor behavior is poor behavior regardless of who is doing it, but some teams think theirs is more justified. The team that I think matters is humanity. Nationality is an administrative bother to me.
I'd like to see more done in the open networking space. Cumulus Linux was talked about a ton just a few years ago, but it seems like I haven't heard about it as much lately. Probably because Juniper and Cisco have (mostly) managed to catch up on the automation front.

I couldn't find anything concrete on the CERN website, but in their virtual DC tour I noticed HP Procurves as top-of-rack switches. I was really hoping to see whitebox switches.
They block Firefox Private Mode as well. Though it works perfectly fine for me in non-Private Mode (and without ads).
I am afraid that characterization is simply not accurate. Scandinavian model countries are not regularly nationalizing individuals property.

If you don't have a solution to these economic concerns, don't be surprised when world leaders adopt a "devil may care" attitude.
Agreed! I originally did the comparison to better understand what wealth stratum Valjean eventually attained, was 600,000 francs crazy money back then? Marius' grandfather sent him 60 pistoles monthly (600 gold francs!) was that an exhorbitant stipend? Must have been, as he eventually found work as a translator for 700 francs a year. He pawned his watch for 45 francs, just a little more than a bunch of asparagus! Hugo went into fascinating details about how much things cost in the chapter called "Marius Poor". By these measures Cosette was rich, but we don't know the percentage of the population in possession of 600,000 francs or more. Valjean carried this sum around as a wad of cash. Before this he had buried it in the woods! And at that time Paris had an Exchange. Amazing!

> I truly believe that spaced repetition is near-magic and it is a tragedy that it's not integrated into our society and educational system

Spaced repetition is absolutely key to memorizing the Qur'an [0]-- Memorizing through space-repetition is taught at almost all Madrasas (institutes of Islamic learning) [1] to students from a very young age (it isn't uncommon for students as young as 15yrs old to memorize the entire Qur'an [2]). Revisions [3] every now and then helps; and so, that is prevalent, as well.

The only difficulty being how the thing is managed and such; I believe for the EyeFi at least, the camera has to have some level of support for the card so it doesn't power it off in the middle of a transmission.

Also, microSD's form factor is probably too small to effectively house a reliable antenna, much less the additional WiFi chip. SD is probably the smallest feasible form factor today, and CFExpress and other cards are larger and might afford a little more space.
maybe ActivityPub will reach some kind of critical mass.
Well yes, if the "nefarious" reason you suspect is to gain easy political points.

Why wouldn't they just look at regulating the product side (ie the actual services like crypto currencies) on their own merits and not discriminate against who provides them?

Like, for a lot of people, if you need to use these tools for your family at all, it's a big sign that you need to do less things. If tracking your family and it's velocity is something that you feel that you need to do, then you need to re-evaluate what it is that you are doing with your family as such activity is glaringly unhealthy. Not saying that I am part of this (tools are ethics-neutral to me, use whatever works, kids are stressful enough), but to a lot of people, family is not something to 'get done' or 'crush it'.

It's worth noting that this guarantee also only applies to messages between a client and broker. The protocol does not guarantee messages are consumed, only that they reached the broker. So if guaranteed delivery of a specific message to consumers is something you need MQTT tends not to be a good fit as you have to build application layer acknowledgements on everything.
> Universities have thousands of students that do not generate any revenue. The standard licensing model per person or per computer totally breaks down in that case, asking for a huge bill based only on the sheer amount of users.

There are thousands of students, postdocs and academics with CERN computing accounts (way outnumbering employees). It's not like they're generating revenue either.

I just come from Mexico (Monterrey) where it was regularly 35+ degrees. And now I'm in Belgium in this heat (40+ today) and it's unimaginable how bad it is here.

Usually in Belgium things turn horrible when it's just 30+ because we have no decent installation to deal with this heat. Almost no places have airco so the best you can hope for is a fan. And that just doesn't help that much. Really hard to concentrate on work in this heat. Plus biking to work (largely uphill) makes me sweat more in a day than usually in a week. Not that pleasant to arrive at work like that either.

At least in our home in Mexico there is airco in each room and most places you visit have airco as well.

(Though we have the opposite problem in winter. No good heating in our home in Mexico but great heating in Belgium).

EDIT: And tomorrow I have to use public transportation. Imagine that, a bus without airco full of people sweating. Just want to rant about this, because for all the promoting they do for public transportation, you'd at least except to not melt.
Wow this looks awesome, great job! I didn't even know I wanted this until I saw it.

I am worried though how memory management is handled under the hood. Is it possible to use traditional C++ memory management with any of the variables created in ChaiScript?

I'm not saying that I don't trust the implementation, I'd just like more control over it in some cases.
This is the most important question of our era.
Wow! What kind of product was it? I assume it wasn’t a laptop or a general purpose server hardware.
I once had a client where the only port available for me to use on their firewalls was for MQTT (1883) because that's how we were getting sensor data from them. They would not open anything else for us no matter how we implored them so I wrote a live TCP wrapper over MQTT to get around it. It was a local multithreaded TCP daemon that listened for outbound requests on a certain port, wrapped them in MQTT and then published them using a unique topic. The server daemon would detect these topics and unwrap them before forwarding to our server processes. So the client machine thought it was making a live TCP connection to our server but in the middle was a funky invisible MQTT wrapper. It was really elegant once it worked but my goodness was it a pain to debug - a couple of months before I got the whole thing right because of all the blind alleys I went down.

The HTTP IETF RFC (2616) states:

> The first digit of the Status-Code defines the class of response. The last two digits do not have any categorization role. There are 5 values for the first digit:

> - 4xx: Client Error - The request contains bad syntax or cannot be fulfilled

What do you think status codes like 404, 405, 406 are for? You say they shouldn't be for "did the application successfully validate the user's input data" but status code 400 is explicitly for bad requests. In your view should a HTTP server ever return 4xx?

> Since there are some 1,000 cancer-related genes and each cancer requires up to three distinct gene alterations to succeed, every cancer patient is literally one in a billion.

Errors in his math:

- not every combination of any of the 3 genes (1000999998 = "1 billion" ordered combinations) causes cancer

- the order doesn't matter

- the occurrence rates of each mutation are not the same and don't appear in the same rate among various populations

Thus, the number of kinds is much smaller than 1 billion, and many people do have the same type genetically.

I think we agree.

In Pennsylvania ("Penn's Woods") the under-developed landscape still towers so gigantically above the developed landscape that I wonder what people think they are seeing during travel. Of course, things pop up to serve the travelers along the highway, so the from-the-highway view is not truly typical, but still. The developed landscape seems all that is considered.

But I see a Pennsylvania that is vast and filled with forest.
First, I don't understand what you mean by "having this sort of list internally". Wikipedia is completely open, so what does "internally" even mean?

Second, I don't understand your desire. Do you want more controversial topics? The goal of an encyclopedia is not to list/explain controversial topics[+], or am I mistaken somehow?

Third, to be concrete: who should come off the list and who should be on the list if you don't agree?

Fourth: if you don't agree on the list and can't come up with replacements, give us exactly the definitions that should be used to warrant inclusion. My guess is that these definitions / rules / decisions are so difficult to make in the first place, that agreeing on those rules is as difficult as agreeing on the people / topics that are included in the list.

[+] Definitely not to mark them as somehow more important than other subjects that are less controversial.
I don't know how to fix the worlds problems, but I do know that everyone in Europe getting AC isn't going to be the answer to rising temperatures.
