From a thread on Reddit[0], written by a cannibis biologist:

“The reason [vitamin e is] being found in black market carts is because black market manufacturers are incentivized to dilute out their product as much as possible to maximize profit. They don't have to provide you with potency numbers, they just need the cartridge to look plausibly full of distillate.

This means they use any of the aforementioned dilution methods, or even other less safe methods and wind up with a thing and runny product that is obviously not high purity distillate.

So what do they do? They thicken it back up to be more believable. This is where Vitamin E acetate comes in. It can reliably dissolve a large range of organic compounds but is also similarly viscous to Maple syrup. This means it can be used to dilute distillate or thicken up heavily cut distillate, but leave it looking comparable to an actual high quality distillate. Thus they can turn a 1g cart into 5 1g carts, for the low low price of the health of the end user.”

I think the author meant that UTF-32 is the worst encoding, though that seems to conflate choice of "length" definition with how the value is encoded internally.
As you say, your thumb is on the front of the phone already. You just slide it up on the screen as you look at it. So it's just a change from holding the thump on one particular spot, to sliding it up a little anywhere.

But some people find it easier to swipe up with another finger and not have to hold their thumb anywhere in particular at all. That's fine too.
> I would be very surprised if someone could make a business out of 3rd party code reviews, but stranger things have happened.

Depending on how you define "make a business", this already happened. There are paid for code review and vulnerability scans. Sadly, I can't remember the companies that did them. I think one of them was by IBM... I saw them applied to new software (when it was nearly done) at two big, European companies. They were mostly worthless: The insights were barely above what Sonar gives you and many findings were "never gonna happen" edge cases.

nobody knows whether mathematics really exists "out there", independent of human minds, which is what you're talking about. people are generally more interested in how mathematics appears to humans.

the basic tools and methods we have of investigating mathematics is designed for human minds. what are mathematical axioms if not the attempt to discover the point beyond which human cognition can't go? if you truly believe that there is a mind-independent mathematics "out there", and you believe that humans are really that insignificant, then you must believe that the totality of mathematics is vastly beyond the reach of human minds. so then the mathematics that is available to humans as of today must be a very small part of mathematics in itself, and it's not a coincidence that we find it so useful.
Every founder has personal reasons to accept to be acquired, example here: https://twitter.com/christianreber/status/117064572184398233...

Also I don't think you are cynical. Don't take the money and continue to push the product seems to be a better solution, especially for users. I just appreciate that founders are more transparent about the fact their service is failing after being acquired. And yes, they have a big part of the responsability, but according to me it's a better signal than just heard the typical story of celebrating an acquisition, join a tech giant and remain silent. I like to see that people keep the bounds with their product even after this. Also it's more honest for other entrepreneurs in the same situation that becoming rich will be at the expense of your creation.

"My thing here" is a grammar so it describes a class of strings. Perhaps this is why it looks to you unlike what it describes?

You can make a DCG rule as specific or as general as you like. As a for instance, this is a vim regex I retrieved from my recent history:

\[13\/13,15\/12,24-24]

You could write this like so in DCG notation:

s --> ['[',13,'/',13,,,15,'/',12,,,24,-,24,']'].

And that would match the string "[13/13,15/12,24-24]", no less, no more.

DCGs are Turing-complete, so you can go all the way from programs to finite automata when you write a pattern to match.

They're not really a regex competitor. They were invented in the '70s as a formalism for context-free grammars to be used in representing natural language. They fit right into the logic programming language Prolog that was created soon after (and by some of the same people).
This fails for negative max int, assuming twos compliment, right?
In addition to the ethical aspects of the product, I would add, that I always ask myself, "if I was laid off today, can I use my current job to get another job."

I worked at a company where the the work I was assigned was undermining my career to the point that if I didn't do something on the side, I wouldn't be able to pass an interview.

So while the business aspect is important, it is not the only thing that matters; it never is.

It was a wicked quote:

> In his poem “Each June I Made a Promise Sober,” Ogden Nash voiced the common cry of those who work in bookstores or libraries or live otherwise surrounded: so many books, so little time! Always the guilt-inducing pile of unread books, eyeing us like neglected pets. He lists some of the classics he hasn’t read—my own list includes, I blush to say, Moby Dick, War and Peace, The Brothers Karamazov, The Faerie Queen, etc. etc. etc. etc.—and concludes:

“So every summer I truly intend /
My intellectual sloth to end /
And every summer for years and years /
I’ve read Sherlock Holmes and The Three Musketeers.”

If one person is armed and the other isn't, the fight's over before it begins unless the other person is disabled by drugs or mental illness. If neither is armed, a surprising number of people will think they have a chance against the trained fighter, and some even might.

usa employments development more fragile than anticipated
Famously the first (only?) computer that was repaired with an oil change:

"Of course, Stretch came originally with an oil-cooled core memory system.

Jack Worlton of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) recalls a problem experienced during the acceptance test phase, when there was a transient memory error in the cores. The engineers worked for days to remedy the error but were unable to figure out what was going wrong. They finally hit upon the problem. As Worlton explains it, there was a piece of solder loose in the oil bath, and because the oil was constantly in circulation the solder would move and attach itself onto a core and cause an error. Then it would move and lodge onto a different core and cause an error there.

It was the only error I know of that was corrected in a machine by giving it an oil change, Worlton quips."

As someone who was in the industry, what do you think about the argument of vaping being a safer alternative? I see pretty mixed things in the health community but it's tough because some of the argument seems to be that the tobacco industry has acted nefariously in the past so we can't trust any innovation in the space.

Is there any known experience similar to vaping/smoking of today that has really minimal health consequences but maybe isn't as addictive?

> but 'Political' is considered harmful?

It's hard to explain why 'Political' is considered harmful in China. Most of the Chinese companies try to avoid the political text classify problem by using a hashtable to store 'sensitive words'. One example would be we can't search '64g RAM' in Xianyu, which is one of the biggest c2c second-hand online markets developed from Alibaba because 64 indicate June 4th which is a special day in China.

> Would be interesting to see what material it was trained on (a cross section of pro and anti-CCP? pro-CCP would still be political, but then why would that need to be classified under a harmful model?)

Good question. It's quite subjective and no one knows the answer. Companies have to do lots of self-censorships. However, unlike porn or gamble. We don't have a standard here.

> Is the lottery not considered gambling in China?

Lottery ticket is gambling, but in China, we call it 福利彩票 which indicate the money will be used in charity. It's quite different from gambling on football or basketball and Lottery ticket

> I think it’s good that Rust sort of forces you to recognize the complexity in this.

It's not bad, but Swift still does better:

* String.Index is an opaque type (ideally it would be linked to a specific string too)

* it returns grapheme cluster counts by default, that's probably the least surprising / useless though not necessarily super useful either

* other lengths go through explicit lazy views e.g. string.utf8.count will provide the UTF8 code units count, string.unicodeScalars.count will provide the USVs count

> If you switch to s.chars().count(), you’ll get UTF-8 scalar values

You get unicode scalar values (which I assume is what you meant).

Challenges in Implementing a Full-Text-Search Engine
I recently landed myself in a wheelchair for several weeks and this is a huge issue. I went from surfing and skateboarding (what got me into the wheelchair) to suddenly mortally afraid of leaving my house, which is on a hill, because the wheelchair is so difficult to control. My wife and I tried to go for a walk around the block once. Exactly one once. Won't do that again.
Teflon/PTFE is not toxic. It's even used for surgical implants.

It can emit toxic fumes if you heat it to very high temperatures, but at room temperature and during normal cooking use it is definitely not toxic.
Except for the fact that other ways don’t work. It’s not possible to slowly reduce your nicotine intake with cigarettes. The only alternative is: stop all your smoking habits, and maybe one of these nicotine substitutes will help.

But that only adresses one part of the issue: the nicotine addiction. Smoking is a lot more complex than just the nicotine addiction. I know a lot of smokers who managed to take a break from cigarettes for a few months, but I’ve never met a vaper who went back to cigarettes.

I’m slowly rewiring my brain to not need cigarettes or vaping. I smoked for 15 years, and started during my formative years, so I know this will be a long process. Just telling me to chew gum or apply patches is a cop out for the government to clear its conscience about not really helping its population kick the smoking habit. There’s a reason the tobacco industry doesn’t care about patches and gum: it doesn’t work for the majority of smokers.
> There are lots of characters that represent the same syllable,

And also (less common, but existant) characters that represent different syllables in different contexts. A prominent example would be 觉, pronounced jué in 觉得 but jiào in 睡觉

Hanzi are logographs, not a syllabary.

> and complicated rules about which to use for writing common words

Maybe if you have some need to believe in the bizarre fiction that Chinese characters only provide phonetic information. In the real world, the characters have meaning and history, which simply dictates what characters to use for which word.
The problem is it is funny and wrong. Apparently it have given a lot of people really confused ideas about what is possible and what is not possible with regular expressions.

If it had been funny and right I would not have a problem with it.
Hm, last time I wrote a constant elimination I did so in the optimizer pass over the AST (as part of a lecture, we built a custom C frontend for LLVM and added some optimization passes). What you describe replaces e.g. "x = 3 + 4;", but you get that for free once your optimizer is able to replace more complicated things (e.g. "a = 3; b = 4; x = a + b;").

Also, your parser becomes more complicated; when writing a toy compiler, I think having a clean parser is worth a lot.

But of course it can be done ;-)

I'm aware, but maybe I didn't phrase my question well. CGI scripts, including PHP when run in that mode, fork a new process as the appropriate user - as you say.

But mod_php runs in the Apache process instead, for better performance. What I'm not sure about is whether it changes the user somehow when handling the request or just runs everything as the Apache user. I believe it's the latter since I've seen various modules that claim to address the problem.
This is really cool. I look forward to the day we can have a Google Assistant/Alexa like application that doesn't rely on servers to do the main functionality.
Microservices aren't necessarily small, at least by definition if not name. They are discrete services modeled around a business domain which are independently deployable and scalable. As such a "microservices" can get pretty big in terms of code and functionality.
The first 19th century book to impress me was Nicholas Nickelby by Dickens. It's a British sort of "Les Miserables", A Christmas Carol style. And my wife reads Pride and Prejudice at least once a year. It's a surprisingly modern book, very much worth reading if you don't mind the romance.

>If people find catastrophic security problems in Python 2, or in software written in Python 2, then volunteers will not help you. If you need help with Python 2 software, then volunteers will not help you.

Well, isn't it the benefit of FOSS, that volunteers can, and in the case of such a critical piece, so much used as Python 2, in all probability will, step up. Doesn't have to be the same people as the core team if just security fixes are involved...

Not to mention paid FOSS developers at places like RedHat, who want to keep supporting their LTS and enterprise customers...

As a python user that came to Rust encodings never really made much sense to me. I knew what encodings basically were, but I neither knew why it has to be that way and how to deal with common situations without feeling insecure.

Rust put the whole thing front and center and made it incredibly clear why they made that choice. The design choices around encodings also have been more well reflected than those in Python, it never becomes a “hairy” mess, but something you can rationally manage.

Be aware though that Intel POPCNT instruction throughput is pretty low by today's standards. When you need to popcount a lot of bits, on Intel it might make sense to do it without the use of POPCNT. This oldie but goodie still holds, on Intel: https://danluu.com/assembly-intrinsics/

In contrast, AMD can retire 4 (!) popcounts per cycle per core, if your code is able to feed it.

There's vectorized popcount in some of the optional AVX512 instruction sets, but for those to make it into consumer CPUs AMD would really have to hurt Intel pretty bad, marketshare-wise. :-)

It's in the section with the heading "Which Unicode Encoding Form Should a Programming Language Choose?":

"Reacting to surrogate pairs by wishing to use UTF-32 instead is a bad idea, because if you want to write correct software, you still need to deal with variable-width extended grapheme clusters.

The choice of UTF-32 arises from wanting the wrong thing."
When most high-tech luxury products are produced in China, it's disingenuous to use China as an example of low quality manufacturing.
I won't trust any cloud-based password storage, especially not a proprietary one - even audits do not change my opinion about that - as the main attack vector isn't form the hacking side, but from 3 letter agencies and governments instead.

Plus it is a huge registry of metadata - any site that i store a password for gives them knowledge that i do use that site.

I tried few local solutions - sadly for my use case they both need to work in a shared way(some passwords are used by multiple colleagues at work for example, as they are company wide accounts for external sites that do not support individual accounts), and they do need to work on windows in a non cumbersome way.

While what you're saying is probably true, many people forget that humans are walking contradictions.
Logic itself is a field of philosophy. As the most fundamental field of human inquiry, philosophy at times even tries to challenge logic itself. (Although this is rather niche) Anyway, if you're looking for the relevance of philosophy to Computer Science, look no further than to these 5 figures who were self-ascribed mathematicians and philosophers:

- Augustus DeMorgan

- Rudolph Carnap

- Gottlob Frege

- Kurt Gödel

- George Boole

Historically, philosophy has been the home of the study of logics, until there was a shift towards faculties of mathematics in the 19th century. - This is a very typical trend. Newton was a philosopher, his groundbreaking work basically created a new discipline.

Generally I would argue that the strict separation of disciplines is hindering understanding. Fundamentally, all studies are related in some ways, and I would argue that with the correct mindset, you can even learn valuable lessons in computer science through the study of literature or history.
