Rope: The Data Structure used by text editors to handle large strings
It's an indicator that different people are interested in different things. I'm not sure why you're determined to spin this into a personal failing.
Originally, the Pi was going to run Python directly, with a minimal OS underneath, much as early home computers ran embedded BASIC. But as development continued, it became clear that being a full Linux system was desirable. Since it was originally meant as a cheap computer for students, it was felt that Python would be a good choice for a beginner's language. So even though the Pi supports many programming languages, the emphasis on Python remains.
This seems disproportionately small considering seriousness and urgency of the problem.
Many factors can influence an outcome. But it's reasonable to focus on the illegal (or just shady) ones.

For instance, if a team loses a sporting event by 1 point, and their Gatorade was poisoned, it would be understandable to call out the Gatorade poisoning. Of course, many other things could have swung the outcome as well (random variance, wind, poor effort, etc).
Whenever I hear the horrors of the tradewar in a positive light, I wonder if this is the Russian propagandists in action.

How can war be good? Delighting in the suffering of everyone?
I think you misunderstood what the parent was saying.

On the technical level, you are correct in that in both scenarios the end result would be the same, as you are going from compiled code to decompiled code.

What I believe the parent is saying, is that applying this to Panzer Dragoon accomplishes more (on the human level), because devs of that game don't have the original source code anymore, while Super Mario 64 devs do.
Didn't know the NEJM needed clickbait too. Paper title is "Fornix-Region Deep Brain Stimulation–Induced Memory Flashbacks in Alzheimer’s Disease".
Symbols get irrevocably besmirched all the time. I'm not going to be the person roping in a documentation tool that results in "<FAANG Company X> uses software linked to Nazis" as a BBC headline, you know? That headline alone is going to roflstomp any amount of nuanced rhetoric - and that's giving the maintainer the absolute most kind benefit of the doubt, which I'm not even remotely convinced they actually deserve.
It's about a meter deep on average, but it's such a moot point to quibble over because it's too low by a factor of about 100,000. If it were 100 meters deep, we'd still have to answer the same question.

Yes, the rainforest has been a massive carbon sink over its 30+ million year lifetime - because of the carbon it sequestered while it was first growing and expanding.

Yes, it could be producing very, very tiny amounts amounts of oxygen each year so that the rise in soil level isn't noticeable. If the rainforest was still slowly sequestering carbon in soil at a rate of about 1 meter of soil depth per 30 million years, then you're talking about it sequestering about 0.00005% of the carbon it captures through photosynthesis. If you're calling the article "completely wrong" over that, I'm not sure what to say.

And it's not just the yearly rate of oxygen production that must be negligible. The total oxygen produced over the Amazon's lifetime is negligible. As the article points out, if you burned the entire Amazon rainforest, releasing all the sequestered carbon, it would only decrease atmospheric oxygen from about 20.95% to 20.93%.
>Can you make a clearer, better-cited case for "low cost chains serve meat that could barely even be called meat"?

Taco bell famously admit a few years ago that their beef filling was only 88% beef.

CBC did an investigative report in Canada recently that revealed subway's chicken was only 50% chicken. [0] The rest being a smörgåsbord of fillers. The 4 other chains studied in the tests didn't do much better.

It seems you picked a solution and are now looking for a problem. If you have to ask these questions, don't have problems with your current setup and perhaps switching is not really necessary. The better questions to ask are:

- What are the shortcoming of your current site that would require you to have your own proprietary solution?

- Would the cost of implementing the solution be less than the benefit of the move?

The funny part is the article at the same time arguing how much benefits people receive and thus them not being poor while at the same time pointing out the US is great despite social programs, heavily implying that it would be even better with even less taxation and less "government assistance programs" that provide "an incentive, and the means, not to work."

I would find it a lot more fair to not counting all those benefits in my analysis, if I'd want to get rid of them.
1. Western Europeans mostly speak the language in the US, so they have an easy time living there, while most Americans only speak English so would have a harder time living in most of Europe.

2. The US is great for people in upper income brackets who can actually manage to migrate, not so much for the lower income people who can't.
A Linux distro probably, at least initially.
> buy a collection of Linux distributions + the Sunsite archive on a 5-cd set that was released quarterly and available at computer stores.

I don't remember those collections, but I do remember boxed commercial distributions being sold at CompUSA, such as Red Hat, Mandrake, SuSE, and Corel.

> The dialog-based installer wasn't too different from now, IIRC.

From what I remember, they completely rewrote the installer with Sarge. I don't remember what the old one was like, though.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
> In the software world, Crashlytics, Sentry, and other error monitoring systems have been offering similar solutions for years. Memfault is the first such solution for firmware.

Just curious, why can't Sentry be used in a firmware? (I don't do firmware dev)
I think the question has to be the reverse. You found major problems with Shopify and should be asking if self-made site will solve those problems. If you don't have problems, you shouldn't be moving.
Well, distrust in the political system has been that way in the U.S. for decades. Single payer systems have been implemented auccesfully in many countries, all it would take is to copy from any one of those countries wholesale. For example, with the current money going into medicare and medicaid it would be possible to fund a universal healthcare system that was a copy of canada’s. They’re nice people, I’m sure they’d be willing to help set it up.

FYI, in the US it is common to mummify fish with carbon monoxide. It preserves the fish's color despite age. The best way to stop oxidation is to add a reducing agent!

I don't think CO is a problem, but it is a hack restaurants use that consumers are unlikely to be aware of which masks the visual indications of freshness.
Rebol and Red [1] are the only languages that I know which acknowledge having Logo heritage in their design and philosophy. Speaking from my experience, I can tell that working in them is indeed a deeply embodied microworld-like experience, they way author describes.

Manipulating homoiconic structures feels highly spatial, as if you're molding a clay with your own hands, or rather palpating the Urschleim. High polymorphism and rich standard library remove the mental burden and quite literally let you think in the language (hi mr. Iversion! [2]) and feel embodied in its runtime. Symbolic programming directly parallels the magic of natural language, its eerie occult power of controlling the world by non-physical means - remember how Sussman spoke about linguistic abstraction and magic incantations in SICP introduction?

In fact, in Red and Rebol everything is a little language (an embedded DSL), from metal to meta, and programs in them are this beautiful symbiogenetic ooze of micro-formats, slangs and linguistic DNA strands, from which your program slowly emerges [3]. Ultimately, you and your code become of one mind and body, stitched together by problem-solving intent. "I'm not moving the turtle, I am the turtle that moves!".

Even thinking about it gives me heebie-jeebies and brings to mind Tsutomu Nihei's Blame! [4] ever-growing City structure and Frictional Games' SOMA craziness [5]. Never experienced anything like that with any other programming language (except maybe for Forth and Lisp, but they are Red and Rebol ancestors too!).

It seems like exactly the kind of system you get when people are more worried about who to blame for X than they are about how to make X better.
I am confused, all I get is "No Python project found in the given directory".
And the case system differentiates between indirect objects of motion and position (like Polish) and doesn't have a genitive (which German does)

And also English has like 12-16 vowel sounds and Esperanto (like the Slavics) has half that many
> What ? Do you mean “ not coming from the C language family”? Because its syntax is clearly in the C-family (semicolon, braces).

My guess is that they're talking about the syntax inspired from its ML roots, like `let/let mut`, `->` for return types, and `:` for type annotations. I personally prefer these to the C-style equivalents, but I've talked with enough people who haven't used an ML-like language that I'm not quite as surprised as I used to be about people expressing misgivings about them.
This is the guy that thought he could build a leading electric car and space company and then did that.

You don't think Musk believes he can do anything? He always over-promises but that's not exactly the same as a con artist.
Considering integer operators specifically: in subtraction, you partition a collection and then discard one part. Multiplication is more abstract, as one of the operands denotes the number of applications of an operator (addition), and in division, the result is a count of the number of applications of a subtraction. I'm not sure if that can be called the same as addition in this regard, but they all lead back to that case.
Oh yeah, a caste system, that's lovely.

I know you don't mean that, but it sure smells like it.
I have on my bookshelf a book from 20 years ago, which includes a feasibility study commissioned by a major auto company, that concluded that mass market electric cars would not be economically feasible until around 2020, but after that would wipe out the existing ICE industry.

The public may have thought that electric cars were all but dead. But smart people knew that their time had not yet come.

Oh, and look! Excepting high end niches that Tesla figured out, and government subsidies, that timeline from 20 years ago looks to come true pretty much on schedule.

I admire Elon Musk. Without him, reusable rockets wouldn't have happened for many more years. But electric cars would have happened with or without him.
Your right, they built Power Plants [1] and fibre optic networks instead [2]. Enron was at its core an infrastructure company.

They are only remembered for their financial "innovations" which was ultimately their downfall. But to suggest they didn't make anything tangible is false. They even had a "Netflix" style streaming service setup with Block Buster at one point.
That's true everywhere that property taxes exist. Why was it only banned in California?
Our family did that in Alaska. It was campy and part of a tour but it was fun. The kids still remember it.
Yes, looks like it. More information about that is at https://www.virusbulletin.com/uploads/pdf/magazine/1991/1991... (page 21)
I didn't draw that sort of conclusion at all from that email: isn't it just saying that the filesystem has a CRC (for reliability, presumably, not because they are trying to deter fuzzers) and they're frustrated that they keep getting fuzzer reports for things that don't pass that check (and don't matter because they're caught by the CRC)? They have a specific suite of CRC-aware fuzzers that they're still using.
English doesn't really have the phonemes spelled ĥ or c in Esperanto (incidentally, these phonemes are also on the rarer side in languages--certainly rarer than aspirated k and the glottal stop, neither of which are phonemic in Esperanto or English).
If by brute force you mean checking the entire key space, fuzzing can be made to sound quite similar to encryption.

There is a specific program path, or "key", that leads to a crash. Fuzzers attempt to search all paths in a somewhat intelligent manner to find the "key" path that leads to a crash.

We can inhibit the fuzzers ability to find the key by increasing the search space by adding more paths. The way in which this paper adds paths takes advantages of the way intelligent fuzzers explore the path space to make it even more difficult to search the entire path space.
Remote work environment involving screen sharing during calls/meetings. As a Firefox user I don't need an extension for this, but I set the new tab page to blank.
I have a separate work profile on my machine, but still, the default page of most frequent / most recent / most whatever pages is too unpredictable for me (i.e. I am not 100% sure how it works and don't want to devote time to understand it completely). I have rarely used it anyway, CTRL+T then typing a letter or two is way faster than trying to spot the relevant box and click it (separate URL / search bars help here as well).
A nice image is cool and all, but it may be too distracting, and then there's the problem of unpredictability again: it comes from a 3rd party (extension developer) using another 3rd party (Bing in this case) to fetch the image. Bing being known for its excellence in the less worksafe areas and all... I won't take my chances :)
Very interesting, but can you elaborate how we could benefit from colonizing Mars? Even more so - how could SpaceX be much more worth by being able to go to Mars, and how others wouldn't be able to achieve similar step sometime after them (depriving SpaceX from exclusivity of operation)

Mars is much smaller than Earth with much more hostile environment. I heard some ideas of growing trees or putting air on Mars, but just to adjust a flow of a river on Earth could cost millions of dollars; if you add complexity to get it done on Mars I don't think a price tag could be even put on it.

Visiting Mars - sure who wouldn't want it, but other than biologist and geologist, I doubt masses would want to migrate and live there, making SpaceX worth billions in process (that assuming somehow SpaceX would be given an exclusivity to park their rockets on Mars - a body to give such approval doesn't even exist and I doubt any single country can claim Mars' ownership)
That’s revisionist nonsense.
Swift is built on top of LLVM, the same way C,C++ and Rust are. Also note that the language was created by the original creator of LLVM.

So you can use any backend LLVM does.. theres a little runtime friction in porting a small Swift runtime to the target (but you would only need to worry about that, if its not a popular LLVM backend).

But given Apple is a first class consumer of Swift, arm is definetely a strategic backend for Swift, given it needs to run on iOS.

(its a little alpha i guess, but you can even compile your Swift code to run on WASM nowadays)
How do you explain diabetic foot or diabetic retinopathy or diabetic neuropathy or a host of other stuff caused by diabetes?
If you want a high quality genome (ilumina UYG) to start with, it's https://my.pgp-hms.org/profile/hu80855C
which includes the original BAM files (so you can try your own mapping) as well as called variants (conveniently[?] segregated into SNPs and indels).

I would expect "everything" you need (except for long reads) is here for you to determine if the owner of that genotype (I can vouch for them...) has the genetic alterations described in this article (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-11119-7) after performing some sort of magical rat/human remapping (tricky) or referencing off of https://www.omim.org/entry/615656

I would be impressed if somebody could actually make a clinically actionable recommendation for this genome, as Illumina described it as have zero known risk.
This one started with the producers lawsuit against FB in the UK for his profile. Netflix probably picked it up later in the process.
The problem is that while RISC-V may deliver an excellent open ISA, there is no equivalent open solution for the GPU/display controller side. As I understand it, the GPU world is full of patents and dominated by just a few parties. I don't think there's something that Huawei or other Chinese manufacturers could easily start with and extend.

So I can see RISC-V being ideal for applications that are not user facing or don't require fancy graphics -- servers, network hardware, microcontrollers, etc. But it would be a tough call to put one in a phone, tablet, or laptop.
I've been really enjoying The Omnibus Project [1]. It's more of a comedy / trivia podcast — more infotainment than educational, and I mean that in a good way — but I enjoy the deep dives into obscure topics and the wide-ranging knowledge & interests of the hosts.

Ah, "winmodems." I think the final boss of my ca. 1999 Red Hat install was a winmodem.
Nothing, but attackers can just compile their own versions without these obfuscations to fuzz.

I am pretty OK with not forcing pensioners to sell their homes in order to pay ever-increasing taxes.

It also seems nice to not tax small businesses out of existence.

On the other hand, it would be nice to not have as many closed storefronts and vacant lots in prime locations.
That's a TPM. Not sure what you mean by "IME", but TPMs both still exist and did not exist in 1998. They also don't have anything to do with virus scanning.

There are a few concepts that do not map neatly:

1. For firmware, each user is on their own hardware. Rather than a session you need to track a device and the state thereof. Devices exist for a longer period of time than sessions do, and you need to have a concept of "device history".

2. Sentry assumes backtraces can be generated on the client side, which is impractical for firwmare

3. Our focus on embedded allows us to run some more specific analysis. For example we automatically detect if your MPU (memory protection unit) is misconfigured on an ARM chip.

It's a wholly schizophrenic article.
It is also completely ignorant of global financial markets and currency markets.

It's basically a useless statistic that you can read the way you want - does a burger-flipper in McD in US make more burgers? does the price of healthy food have an impact? is USD valued excessively? does this value show the importance of American global military power? do Americans save too little? are the taxes too high elsewhere?

I mean - this is a pointless statistic and poverty is relative to the local community. $1 will not buy you a burger in NYC, but will get you one somewhere else....
Nah, they put a couple of precautions in to make sure you couldn't put the computer into standby accidentally. First, software has to set a bit to enable standby mode to be entered. For the astronauts, this was keying in VERB 37 ENTER 06 ENTER, which started P06, the pre-standby program. They then had to press and hold the button for a period of time between 1.28 and 2.56 seconds (exactly how long it takes depends on where the clock divider chain was at when they first press in the button). To bring it out of standby, you have to push the button in for a similar duration.
I find the idea of viewing a language as "serious" to be fundamentally flawed. Every project has a set of requirements and constraints. Usually the pragmatic language choice is dictated by external factors. Things like library support, developer expertise, and tool maturity are much bigger factors for most businesses.

The "serious" professional choice for my company (an OS vendor, with a focus on certifiable systems) is currently C. The tooling we use is for C, the expertise within my company is in C, and the industry that we work with understands and expects C.

At some point, the operating systems industry will transition to more modern languages. Rust is promising, but it is a long way from being a serious consideration for FAA certifiable projects.

Those numbers should be right about what you'd expect.

> Meat and poultry are composed of naturally occurring water, muscle, connective tissue, fat, and bone. People eat meat for the muscle. The muscle is approximately 75% water (although different cuts may have more or less water) and 20% protein, with the remaining 5% representing a combination of fat, carbohydrate, and minerals.

The protein/fat balance should be expected to be a bit off from straight muscle cuts, as it's typical for a burger to have fat added to the mix in.
What benefit is there to have this as an extension, as opposed to a lightweight page being served up?
I'm reminded of all the boomers who said that one should simply work a summer job to pay for college, and then simply get a job when the degree is done...

My impression, as a person under 60, is that the older land-owning generation largely had things much, much easier, and have been blissfully unaware of the changes society has undergone. Or else perfectly aware, but unwilling to recognize their debts to society and circumstance and pay it forward.

Those low property taxes translate directly into booming tuition, as the state funding for higher education has been systematically gutted. The higher tuitions, in turn, imply massive student debt. Simply get a summer job, rite?

As for me? I work where it makes most sense for me to work. Not-working can happen anywhere.

So for retirees, my advice is this: Sell the house, take the millions of dollars in windfall, and go to Bali or Florida or something already. I'm sorry if you have to make new friends; please consider this outcome the next time you settle for a societal structure without robust community. But in getting out, you'll reduce the demand pressure slightly, improve the depressed tax base, and have enough money for a long, long vacation.
So you're just over here arguing semantics? "FICO" vs "credit history" is the "Kleanex" vs "tissues" debate of the credit world. A FICO score is just a brand name credit history product. The point, that your previous credit events can be used against you in employment and renting, stands the same.

Is your point that it's JUST the detailed credit history and not "the detailed credit history + FICO" score, because that just seems like a pedantic point to make (and also, impossible to prove. There's no reason someone couldn't obtain your FICO score for these reasons)

OP point still stands: your credit history can be used against you in renting and employment. You've not disproved this point.
I have a few of them in a box somewhere.
