I agree that those are great sources for news, but a major shortcoming of those types of programs is coverage of local news.

We are in very real danger of losing the press as an overseer of local government, which will have major detrimental effects long-term for so many communities, since local government is so much more directly impactful on our lives than the federal government is.
I know very little about planes and think of them as being very like cars, and a 12v socket is a cheap and useful feature in practically every car since the 1950s (more recently USB has replaced them) so I assumed planes might have the same thing.
A monochrome CRT tube and a black and white TV tube are the same physical device just packaged and sold to different customers. The bandwidth of the electronics driving the electron beam sets a maximum modulation frequency and hence a minimum line pair spacing. That minimum line pair spacing sets the effective pixel separation as directly as the shadow mask pitch does on a color CRT. The bandwidth was set by the TV standards, which were in turn set by what was feasible to manufacture economically in those days.
You should thank them everyday. Common law is the secret power of a good legal system (Speaking as an American lawyer, of course).

In non-common law systems, extra-judicial experts (e.g., law professors) have too much weight in interpreting laws.

If a legal hair is to be split, a common law court should do it. And, the court's holding should have precedence until a democratic legislature with jurisdiction over the issue says otherwise.
You could in theory combine the two with the cells arranged in a rotating barrel.

> Essentially, Cloudflare by design randomly perpretrates denial of service attacks on users, yet at the same time Cloudflare paradoxically advertises itself as a service to mitigate DoS attacks.

I guess he's trying to be snarky here, but it's obvious their business is to prevent DoS attacks against the server by malicious clients.

I imagine the extremely large majority of clients [fully-featured modern web browsers] can get past the captcha (or JS challenge), therefore it's only a 'DoS attack against the user' in the small amount of situations where the user's client/browser doesn't have the technology required to solve the captcha (or JS challenge). If lynx or other non-JS browsers had a surge in popularity and CF's enterprise customers complained, you can assure they would have a solution out within a week that would not require JS or cookies.
That sound less like a plane and more like a flying USB hub. :)

I’m curious how many services you want to integrate match the format refl.me expects (namely a JSON object with at least a “message” property).

It seems likely you’d need to proxy most services anyway. With numerous FaaS providers these days that seems trivial.
Yep, this is why git has separate author and commit dates.
According to Stroustrup[1], Adobe builds everything in C++. Perhaps they add some C# shim for Windows and Objective-C (or even Swift) for Mac.

A great advantage of choosing C++ as a core language is that the language (albeit syntactically/semantically a monstrosity to many) still evolves while receiving feedback from industry (i.e., features are there because complex software needs it). There's the Standard C++ Foundation [2], where big players like Google, Microsoft, Nvidia have a say.

> My original contract stipulated that I had to bring in a minimum of ten thousand unique readers a month, an impossibly high number that my editor told me to ignore. The world, US, and business desks were meant to write “legitimate” stories that went on the front page, while a “Continuous News Desk,” later renamed “Breaking News,” spammed Google News and paid our salaries. Drafting off the BuzzFeed News model that had developed months earlier, Jeffrey Rothfeder, our Editor-in-Chief, said that the clickbait would bring in revenue while hard-news reporting would build our reputation.

> Last year, in response to complaints from reporters, Newsweek added group bonuses, meaning a news desk’s traffic-per-reporter was averaged and everyone could receive a small payout if certain goals were reached. The intent was for less popular but important beats, like climate change, to be balanced out by more popular stories in the same section. When the individual bonus system changed, these group bonuses were eliminated entirely, though editors can now nominate writers for bonuses based on journalistic excellence, regardless of readership.

> But the reality is that if you aren’t writing clickbait, the bonuses can be hard to get. And failing to get a traffic bonus, some said, puts a target on your back.

So news is completely broken - what's the solution? Are people less informed about the world now compared to several decades ago because of the above?

I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to say that Tesla is a software company the same way Apple is a software company. They don’t make their money selling software, but their software is a huge reason they are making money.

It's not Twitter driven, though. The mainstream media picks a narrative to suit their commercial interests, and then filters Twitter to cherrypick evidence for it.

My question was posed in the context of the disparity of what happened to the employees versus the founder at WeWork. Startup employees rightfully assume that the fate of their shares and those of the founders are tide - that if the company does well, they all proportionally do well, and if the company's fortunes diminish, well then everyone, including the founders, share that ill fate.
In this case, the founder came out spectacularly well but the employees suffered. That's the issue.
Fascinating how widely it was distributed. I'll never forget walking into a Holiday gasoline station in a little midwest town in the wilderness and seeing, next to the check-out lanes, two shelving units loaded -only- with ZAMM paperbacks. With covers in multiple neon shades. Gobsmacked.

It was a real phenomenon ... was it a different country? I imagine the publisher was equally surprised. (OTOH, just before it, Castaneda had sold multiple books in the millions. Again ... why?)
I think there's not much difference in the horizontal/vertical driver circuits.

Here's the (pretty pedestrian and likely not different from a b/w tv) diagram of the horizontal driver for a vt220: https://imgur.com/a/xvq1ukV

The shown MC1391P is, in fact, called a "horizontal TV processor" by Motorola.

I'm sure there's other stuff that made them expensive (CPU, memory, video logic, etc).

Edit: Lol at imgur for marking my screenshot as "erotic" and NSFW.
This seems like a potential solution to the problem of how to #define MY_ASSERT(x) in release mode such that it fails to compile if "x" is not a valid expression.

Previous I have used this idiom:

#define MY_ASSERT(expr) do {} while (false && (expr))

Another possible alternative might be:

#define MY_ASSERT(expr) sizeof(expr)
This would work for cars.
The ability to do this and all sorts of other stuff was sadly removed for precisely this reason.
Honestly I'm surprised it's even 6%

Technically it the developers whose sites don't degrade gracefully who created the problem for users. JS, images, frames, and trackability are not required to deliver much of what people want out of the web.

Early video terminals had a variety of sizes. The 1964 GE Data Editing Display (earliest I can find a manual¹ for) had 46×26. The 1967 Datapoint 3300 had 72×25. The 1967 Sanders 720 had (up to) 40×50 or 64×32, depending which orientation you got the monitor.

But the IBM 2260, their first character display, had 40 or 80 columns by 6 or 12 lines, depending on how much you spent on the controller, which stored a cluster of terminals' displays on acoustic delay lines.

While not as mature as Rust, static enforcement of C++'s (memory and data race) safe subset is coming along [1].

Iiuc tools like TrustInSoft are for situations where you need not just safety, but "reliability" (i.e. no crashes, no exceptions). That doesn't really scale so well to larger applications.

Now I know there is a name (HPPD) for this.
I created a SaaS website builder for a small niche market. I've been running it for about 8 years. I gross a bit over $14,000 per month with about $500 in expenses for servers and third-party APIs. I work 1-2 hours per week answering customer support emails. Basically, I automated away my old job as a web designer :)

The smartest decision I made was targeting a small niche market that larger businesses wouldn't bother with. I often get kind emails from customers thanking me for helping their industry. I kept things simple, didn't add features unless I really believed customers needed them, and didn't try to generalize the solution. I think those are the main reasons why the product worked.

By far the hardest part was/is marketing. I'm still bad at it. I've tried may things. Most failed or were too hard to sustain. Some succeeded, like Facebook ads, but those successes were often hard to recreate. At this point it's mostly word of mouth.

Working alone can be psychologically challenging. When I have a problem, there's no one to help because no one else knows how the platform works. With no one to bounce ideas off of, it's easy to get stuck in a rut going round and round the same set of possible solutions. And I really have to monitor myself to ensure that I don't get too isolated. This was an issue in the early years, but now I have a routine that gets me up and out and into the world every day. I would strongly advise anyone considering the solo route to carefully consider the social and mental health aspects of working alone.

I feel very grateful to my former self for doing the hard work that pays my bills today. And I'm tremendously grateful for open source tools and resources like Stack Overflow without which I would never have made it this far alone.

sizeof accepts a type or an expression as its input, so it would compile successfully if expr were a type but not a valid expression (say, int).

Vim 101: How to Start Using the Text Editor for Developers
A couple of impacts I've noticed due to the decline of local journalism:

- I've found myself often becoming informed directly from my municipality (Facebook posts, press releases on their website...) rather than news reporting about the municipality. While I feel I'm engaged enough to notice when something seems off, the lack of critical reporting is undoubtedly detrimental.

- AstroTurf faux-local sites with political agendas are springing up to fill the void: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2019/10...
There was another discussion a few weeks ago about how often in particular people from developing countries face captchas. Essentially cloudflare knows first and second class citizens of the internet, and sites protected with cloudflare will feel good in Western Europe and US but might require captchas at every corner and are not necessarily sped up if you happen to be sitting in India or Nigeria.

It's a rather typical blindness of US (and to a lesser degree EU/AU/.. ) companies, which by design or accident care mainly about US and other rich country users.
> If uptake capacity is decreasing

I never said that, and I don't think it's true. The timescale I was referring to is the timescale for uptake capacity to respond to a change in CO2 levels. For example, trees grow and reproduce more slowly than CO2 levels have been changing, so the increase in uptake from tree growth and reproduction takes some time to respond to an increase in CO2. But that doesn't mean it never responds. It does; uptake capacity does increase.

As others have pointed out, the claimed link between banknotes and terminal dimensions is unclear, if not flat out wrong. The article's own logic is missing a crucial connection right here:

> At one point sales of punchcards and related tooling constituted a completely bonkers 30% of IBM’s annual profit margin, so you can understand that IBM had a lot invested in getting that consistently, precisely correct.

> At around this time John Logie Baird invented the first “mechanical television”; like punchcards, the first television cameras were hand-cranked devices...

It goes on to argue that the television standards influenced terminal dimensions, but there is no link (unless I missed something) between the banknote/punchcard discussion and that of the television - other than the fact that they used hand-cranked devices. No mention as to the punchcard's size/dimensions being carried over to television (and by extension, terminals) other than what appears to be a coincidence in the number of characters fitting on a line of a punchcard.

Looking at the origins of the television standards (at least for the number of terminal lines, since the number of characters per line seems to have been influenced by typewriters), one could trace it back to William Kennedy Dickson (created the 35mm standard by cutting 70mm roll film in half), or previously to Peter & David Houston and George Eastman for their creation/marketing of early roll film cameras.
Great book, by the father (to most at least) of PTSD and CPTSD. Has revealed for me the role of trauma in my life, and those of basically everyone around me.

But after reading it, i felt a little... lost. I knew a lot about the problem space, and some solutions outlined, but it wasn't integrated within me, and all i had was a few therapies I could try out and hope the best for.

Luckily, the next book I picked up was Mindsight by Dr. Daniel Siegel, and that has helped immensely in applying the knowledge of The Body Keeps Score, to bring about a shift in focus and presence in our bodies.

One thing he talked about that i found of interest is a column of neurons, only 6 deep, that make up our perceptions of reality. the top 3, take on a top down approach from the cortex downwards; while the bottom 3 come up from the limbic area of our sensory inputs - and it is in the middle of space of the column that reality appears - a mix of our past perceptions and preferences, with what we are observing in the here and now.

So, What happens with PTSD? There is a shift towards the top-down thinking, and a muting (or overriding) of limbic signals. In the tug of war of 6 neurons, the top down wins out over our perceptions - allowing people to experience and truly relive flashbacks of traumas like war in their bedroom - they are detached from their limbic signaling.

Which is why - mindfulness, meditation, and being more present in your body matter so much. What you pay attention to matters - and allows us to hone/reshape firing patterns.

> Site operators have to use cloudflare, and they do because blocking tor is one of the easiest ways to reduce spam.

But most commonly Cloudflare just blocks access to what should have been a static version of the website in the first place.

You make it sounds like it's actually very expensive to generate every single page. If so, you're doing the caching wrong. If not, then you don't really gain anything by blocking access to a few users to a static version of your website.

Source: I run a website with 400k pages; out of a single machine that I pay 30 EUR/mo for. It's kind of annoying when random Tor clients spam the hell out of my access_log. But is it worth blocking them to clean up my access_log? Not really.
