I don't know any official Perl guide? This is a blog post.

The illustration image (I gather this is what confused you) is from a 1998 book...
Some have a bit more than the basics you describe but generally you are correct.
Where is apple going for production of its hardware if not to china? What other country has the knowledge, capacity, experience, time-to-market, factories and workers available to build all the iphones, iwatches, imac, ipads and macbooks?
Couldn't you just rollback the change or fix the lua script?
As a long-time macOS user, I don't upgrade to a new version until x.y.5. I've just had too many issues over the years, with stability and application compatibility. Of course, for development, I install it into a VM right after release.
Right: to make the implication of the (most rhetorical) question more clear: the nature of the situation and the structure of the order and it's consequences very much encourage exactly what Adobe did, even if one might argue it is strictly not required.
And my music library slowly disappears from Apple Music (or Spotify) with every passing beat.

And my chat service (iMessage) won't let me talk with outside people... yes I know SMS still works.

And my photos slowly become fuzzy, surely this is a bug when it happens, right!?

And my backups are in proprietary encryption file systems. Well I changed that by moving off macOS at this point.

What's next, I don't even want to imagine anymore.
Within the framework applied, trust has everything to do with it. What makes a relationship abusive isn't the distrust, but rather the distrust combined with the inability to escape (which is often about love). We love our smartphones, but we don't trust them. That's very different than, say, distrusting some random stranger. The way to deal with not trusting a stranger is to not engage with them. How do you deal with, say, not trusting your father?
I wonder if reddit has explored fostering or monetizing commerce that happens on reddit. Wherever people congregate there will often be commerce, formally or informally. But that presents its own set of problems as well.
Chipping away at the 13th seems to be par for the course these days.
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could answer a couple of questions how this application interfaces with CPEs and how it compares to existing tools (TR-064/TR-069). So I understand messages are passed over http

1. how does the cpe then know where to get and set the relevant configuration data? Is this done automaticly or do I have to write additional code to interface with the specific device implementation from here?
(how posix compatible is this?)

2. How does this library scale? How many devices are you able to concurrently manage and how beefy of a machine\internet connection does it require?

Looks like a cool project I'm currently writing my own TR-064\TR-069 libary with plans on an ACS in python. I'll have to have a bit more of a read but some more flowcharts would be awesome, I love flowcharts for big picture stuff like this.
Try being an analyst or architect. This way, the "boring" work gets done by coders, while you define the work, figure out big problems etc. It can be quite fun.
It seems like you are arguing that because it is in the official docs, that is where the name 'Perl' came from, but that is not accurate.

autarch is right, "Practical Extraction and Report Language" is a backronym --the language was named 'Perl' first, and that acronym (and others) were devised later ( see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl#Name ).

Larry was originally going to include the 'a' and name the language 'Pearl'. However, at the time there was already a programming language named 'Pearl', so he changed the name to Perl ( again, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl#Name ).

This can be verified from multiple sources, including the "Learning Perl" book ( see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl#cite_note-57 ).
I have no such experience, but from the person talking it seems they are trying to get all the cameras out of an area so they can beat the crap out of those inside without being filmed.

It's classic authoritarian state intimidation tactics that they don't want recorded.
> but that's not a fair comparison because it's a different sort of income, with a VASTLY riskier risk profile. Taxing it at the income rate wouldn't make sense.

Ah yes, the riskiest activities of them all: investing in fortune 500, government bonds, index funds and inflating real-estate prices. They all count as capital gains.
She's not wrong on a lot of points about what tech and phones do to individuals, just it's a super contrived topic that's existed for as long as tech has - she said nothing even close to new there.

The elephant in the article is so what?. What are we going to do about this? This is why so many people feel as though feminists are plagued with a victimhood complex - the only agent in the relationship she draws parallels to is the person. There is only one person to blame.

I understand the vast social consequences of not owning a phone - but I know plenty of people who have healthy relationships with their phones. Probably the one thing they have in common is that they don't blame others for their problems.

I appreciate the feedback!

There is definitely more that R offers than what I discuss here. In retrospect, I will be more restrained on my opinions when I have little experience in my pocket. That being said, it was absolutely my intention to present CLI that deviate from R's intended use. There is already plenty out there on R's intended use.

What's that adage that goes something like, "if you want to get an answer on the Internet, don't pose a question..."?
Nature News is published as a column in the physical printed version of the Nature journal, no? So it's true it's not a Nature journal research article, but I think that's what scottloclin meant when he wrote "...published there in any format...".
China decided to take control of Hong Kong based on a hundred year old document.
I don't expect new features to be implemented in 32-bit builds - maybe security patches at the most - so freezing it and keeping it as a separate package should be feasible.

This is exactly what Linux distros are planning to do.
Or, you could just deploy a copy of each version of the code using a reverse proxy.
> So women can participate without having to be asked out on dates?

What is so wrong about being asked by a man for a date? I (a man) have been asked lots of times for a date by women I worked with, some of them my superiors. Mostly I said "no", because I generally don't like mixing love life with work life, but the best relationship I've ever had was the time I said "yes". I don't see why RMS couldn't look for such a relationship.
You can use redis as a write-back cache that serves spikes well and streams the state to disk (or an RDBMS) in a rate-limited manner in the background.
If anyone else wants to check their website's accessibility from China, I run a service that lets developers proxy HTTP requests through real Chinese (and worldwide) residential ISP customers: https://packetstream.io

We have a worldwide network of real users that install a relay app on win/mac and we proxy customer requests through their home ISP connections like this:

```
developer@Developers-MacBook-Pro-2:~% curl -x http://xxxx:xxxx_country-China@proxy.packetstream.io:31112 https://ifconfig.co/json
{"ip":"223.166.106.16","ip_decimal":3752225296,"country":"China","country_eu":false,"country_iso":"CN","city":"Qingpu","latitude":31.1539,"longitude":121.1141,"asn":"AS17621","asn_org":"China Unicom Shanghai network"}
```

I just tested HN several times from different Chinese IPs and it is indeed blocked:

I agree that enforcing copyleft licenses is extremely necessary. My thought here was that "those who would want to use our software to take freedom away from others" is a bit too broad to apply to just that, especially when considering things like the recent Chef outage.

In other words - some people are going to use GNU software to take freedom from others (imagine a prison running Linux, etc) in ways that conform with the license. I do not think GNU should oppose this.
Honestly, it's not enough to just be able to run it. You need to be able to see it's source, and make modifications to it.

Not all software developers can handle all use cases that will be needed, and it's unrealistic to say, "if the use case is needed enough there would be market forces to implement it".
Thanks for making an insightful comment that acknowledges the complexities of the world and tries to take into account the information, events, and possibilities that we don't see. That's quite rare. It's more much common to assume that everything we know about the situation is sufficient to pass judgment.
Nobody with any sense really believed Apples protestations during the 1999-2007 time period that Carbon was going to be a long term solution, but Apple really tried to sell folks on the idea that it would be, until they suddenly low-key ghosted on the Carbon developer community at WWDC 2007, when 64-bit Carbon was quietly removed from the keynote deck a year after it had been prominently featured.

https://www.macrumors.com/2007/06/13/leopard-drops-carbon-64...

You can still find developer documents in Apple's archives referring to a 64-bit upgrade path for Carbon apps.

For visiting Yellowstone in the "off season", the main consideration is road closures.

Most Yellowstone park roads are closed from November 4 through December 14. During that time, almost all park facilities are closed. The road from the north entrance to the Mammoth Hot Springs Visitor Center remains open all year.

From mid-December through February park travel is only possible via snowmobile and snowcoach (again, except for the north entrance / Mammoth area). Then all roads close again in March.

Roads open to normal cars again starting at the end of April and into May. Snow accumulation and animal activity can keep some roads and trails closed into June.

More info from the Park Service:
https://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/parkroads.htm

--- --- ---

When to visit:

Best wildlife watching: spring. Fewer people and lots of wildlife out with their young.

Best geyser watching: the hottest, cloud-free day of summer. Hot water makes lots of steam, so eruptions are more difficult to see in cold weather. Similarly, geyser eruption plumes have low color contrast with respect to clouds. Also, see: https://geysertimes.org/

On balance, best time to visit: September and October. Fewer people. Roads and trails usually open. Days can possibly be warm. Plenty of wildlife.
>>We are unable to issue refunds. Executive order 13884, orders the cessation of all activity with the entities including no sales, service, support, refunds, credits, etc.

this is ridiculous.. No refunds? if their cycle starts on 1st of Oct, they have paid for entire month(let alone annual subscriptions) but cant use any and cant get a refund..

The data will be leaked. It's a matter of time. Not if, its when. History has already proved this will happen. I will deny and reject facial recognition, or biometric data requests.
I had two minor accidents in 12 months, so yes, it's a major concern. If I were in a Tesla, it would still be drivable today, but something about having a car that is too expensive or hard to fix is not something I like or need.

The discovery I have made is that timing commutes away from rush hour does more to prevent accidents than anything else.
You seem to have lost track of the conversation. We are talking about Apple being mandated to allow sideloading.

They obviously wouldn’t be allowed to make it so difficult that nobody could be persuaded to do it, which defeats your point.
Also, in a worse-case scenario, it's much easier to build a Z80 by hand from individual transistors and/or logic gates¹ (which would still be absurdly difficult, but not impossible) than any ARM CPU (including the ones in any generation of RPi). In a slightly-less-than-worse-case scenario, it's much easier to build a Z80-based computer by hand (i.e. with a Z80 you pulled off some other piece of hardware) than your average ARM-based computer (including any RPi).

¹ "logic gates" not necessarily being transistor-based, either; one could take a cue from the guy building a 32-bit RISC-V machine with vacuum tubes: https://www.ludd.ltu.se/~ragge/vtc/
Sounds a bit of gate keeping to me. I mean it isn't magic, it's still 0s and 1s which yield results that are of some use to someone. Sure, it would be nice if everything were masters of DS but in reality, people make mistakes and sadly, or luckily depending how you look at it, you still can get useful results even when some of your assumptions about the data are wrong.

But I understand what you mean, and completely agree that poseur amateurs who treat DS as just easy "number fluff" and expect fancy ML frameworks to solve all their problems are cancerous and ruin the reputation of DS as a field.

Yet the more I have worked with regular people at work, the more I have moved from the camp of always doing the "right thing" to hoping that people would just "do something". I can't fix every problem so maybe I'll just deal with the reality as it is and try to make best out of it. I won't start quizzing people at work about DS know-how but maybe then silently guide them towards understanding what they are doing instead of driving them out of the room and keeping them located somewhere far away from the data science team.

I like how you destroyed your own argument.
It's false. It's just that it's close to what's actually true, so it's pretty easy to pass it as a fact.

Basically, what a company is required to do is serve the BEST INTERESTS of its shareholders. This might not necessarily be the same as maximising shareholder value.

CLT is literally plywood with thicker lamellae.

I use this stuff when I design and build LEED-Gold certified hydroponic food production buildings. CLT is made out to panels and then cut to customer specifications. It has the same construction (including 90-degree off-orientation of each layer) and pretty much the exact same manufacturing process.

Glue Laminated Timber has the same orientation all the way through. It is meant specifically for one-direction loading (primarily structural support beam but can be done for joisting as well) whereas plywood and MDF and CLT will handle multi-directional loads (and is why it gets used for the outside skin of buildings framed with wood.)
I enjoyed a ton of Daves stuff. I've programmer using Frontier. I've used Radio. I've implemented RSS, XML-RPC, and OPML in languages that at the time barelly had a XML parser library. In essence it helped mold me as a developer back in Mac OS 9 (or was it 8?).

One thing that I always did when learning a new language was to implement a GUI blogging client. Blogging has always been one of the most fun parts of the internet for me and Dave has played a pivotal role in shaping this. Heck, I blame him for my love of outliners.

Still, it was bittersweet when he blocked me on Twitter after a disagreement opinion on the fundamental role of journalism in a democratic society. I wish there was a better exchange at the time, he posted an open public question about the role of journalism, I've answered truthfully as someone who is married to and walks with journalists. And poof, block.

That sucked but I still hold a lot of the things he created quite dear. I'm right now implementing blogging libraries for Racket and maybe even a new GUI client soon, and for that fun, I thanks that guy and his 25 years of blogging stuff.

The problem is finding a version that doesn't have malware in it. Or, so I've heard.
This last is a major contributing factor to the volume of those asking for his ouster... they are free to walk away and not use GNU or other free software, but they don't want to. They want to have their cake and eat it too, they want to keep free software and get rid of the guy that makes them feel bad about it because he's awkward and poorly socialized... like very many computer savvy people are.

These people are arguing for their own desires more than anything. They want an FSF they can feel good about, not this one with a flawed person producing the software they can't give up.

If he doesn't sit well on a pedestal, push him over and set someone else there.

I worked on this project after reading the excellent article from Michael Nielsen "Augmenting Long-Term Memory" (http://augmentingcognition.com/ltm.html).
I have always struggled to remember things I learn or read in the long term. And he gives a very interesting explanation of why we don't remember things in the long term.
Indeed, to remember something, our memory needs to see it again and again. That's probably why advertisers we'll show you the same ad again and again.
He also introduced a technique called Spaced Repetition Memorization that allows remembering almost anything. The idea is pretty simple: you have to repeat things with larger intervals each time you succeed in remembering it.
In this article, he explains how he uses Anki, a software that was built with this goal.
I decided to start using it. But Anki has many features and is done for people who want to dedicate time to learn to use it. It's probably perfect for very intense users, but in my opinion, it is not a product many people would be able to use and to get used to.
And that's pretty disappointing since Spaced Repetition Memorization could be useful to many people: students, people wanting to learn a new language, readers, etc...
That's why I decided to buy Tembo, for my use at the beginning, and for all the people who feel the same pain.
Please give me your feedbacks. This first version is very simple, but that's also the goal.

Open Source means that it can be forked.

If that guy gets hit by a bus and if the app is useful enough (and it is), then a fork will happen. And I can always do some contributions myself. And if I'm wrong and that fork doesn't happen, then nobody (with resources) wants it, in which case might as well let it die.

The bus factor for open source stuff is great, even with zero contributors at any point in time.

In contrast when a proprietary app gets killed (either due to acquisition or b/c it's not profitable) then it's gone for good. If a proprietary app changes, to include ads or anything that you don't like, there's absolutely nothing you can do but switch to something else or bend over.
Perhaps that engineer had a baby on the way and was terrified of losing health coverage, or was in the United States on an H1B visa and was afraid they'd be deported...

I believe the applicable phrase here is "courage of your convictions."

I've been fired twice for refusing to do things that I thought were unethical. Neither time did I have a safety net ready. But my life still continued.

A few years ago I stood up to a middle manager over privacy issues in a feature request. It went far enough to get HR and the legal department involved. It took half a year, but I won.

Bully managers count on people being afraid to lose their jobs. If more people stood up to them, they'd be afraid to make stupid requests in the first place.
