Recently, I wanted to write something in C, just to see how long it would take me. This was just an experiment.

I got stuck at some elementary string manipulations.

So I said, forget this. I pulled out Python, and solved it in a few minutes.

This proved to me, that while C has its place, it just does not meet the programmer productivity of other more modern languages.

Nevertheless, we need a modern replacement for C. But honestly, I just don't think Rust is it.

I think they are saying on each probe, a random nameserver and then random site are chosen. So overall it’s randomizing over all nameservers and sites, to make the median a more useful metric of the overall TLD.

In other words, what they wrote suggests it’s not just one fixed nameserver chosen per TLD, rather randomly chosen each time they will make a request.

That last thing about the effect of salt is something that has been bugging me for a bit. My understanding (at this stage, due to my lack of knowledge, it's more of an opinion, really) of this is that salt consumption slightly and temporarily raise blood pressure, but in no common measure to what an actual high tension is. But I have no real way to experiment with it.

I made a trip to Japan in November just to visit this before it closed down. It was pretty neat, but to everyone now terribly disappointed that they missed it: it was not as amazing as you hoped. Some of the interior architecture was I believe a very faithful reconstruction, but most of it can be approximated by walking around Mong Kok at night. A great deal of space was dedicated to arcade machines and there were some strange sci-fi elements that, in my opinion, detracted from the experience.

Better pattern is to follow the style of Numpy or Pandas and other libs (that OP also mentioned, but then failed to apply it in his own examples), letting the caller/user of your functions choose, if/when they want better performance, to opt-in for in-place modification, like have either:

def normalize(data, inplace=False):
if not inplace:
data = data.copy()
...

or:

def normalize(data, out=None):
if out is None:
out = data.copy()
...

Please, do follow this pattern for any libraries you release, having value-semantics-by-default to prevent shooting yourself in the foot + opt-in in-place mutation option for better memory performance is the right thing, and it's quite easy too with Python, Numpy and Pandas!

Both ZFS and BTRFS are essentially Oracle now. BTRFS was an effort largely from Oracle to copy SUN's ZFS advantages in a crappy way which became moot once their acquired SUN. ZFS also requires (a lot of) ECC memory for reliable operation. It's a great tech, pity it's dying slow death.

Just use a bool parameter `inplace` (or a reference `out`), defaulting to false, but passing it as true for the "hot path" code that needs in-place modification. You get performance, non-duplicated code, and an API style that datascience and ML people are already used too from Numpy, Pandas etc.

We have a client who insisted on using a .house domain. It kept triggering alerts on our uptime monitoring service with DNS errors, so we had to reduce the sensitivity of that specific test.

We also had a client who had to change their TLD from .healthcare to .org.uk because (a) people were confused because they didn't understand that there are all these new TLDs and kept adding .co.uk, .org etc and (b) some NHS systems in the UK (one of their target audiences) refused to accept emails that finished with .healthcare, saying that it was a malformed email address.

I think in the vast majority of cases these new TLDs aren't worth it until the general population's understanding catches up. I still advise clients to use www rather than a plain domain name for websites, because I've come across a significant minority of people who need that "www" as a clear signal that it's a website.

The UX of that process you describe (without something like facebook) sucks. It's surprising you haven't realized this once you've tried to do that for more than say ~10 people in the list.

If the UX sucks, it means it takes more time and energy to do the same thing, it means that I will not be doing the same thing, I will end up sending to less people or less information. Which means that facebook effectively allows new types of communication which would otherwise not even exist.

> Most of today's attackers seem to be competent and well-funded

By volume no. There are enormous numbers of low-level and mid-level hackers out there working for any number of interests. You have to be a pretty elite level of organised crime before your attacks reach the level achieved by nation states.

Security design is to some extent a cost tradeoff - the more you spend on security the more the attackers are going to have to spend on attacking you. If you're dealing with insensitive data, and are only going to be of interest to script kiddies, then you can spend only a little. If you're a widely deployed device, and people use it to store sensitive data that might be of interest to nation states, then you have to spend enormously more to mitigate against it.

Layered security or "defence in depth" is how anyone in the field will tell you to design secure devices these days. ASLR doesn't do anything on its own, it just amplifies the cost of any other attack, as does other mitigations like W^X. No layer is ever 100% secure in the real world. But 5 layers that are 99.9% secure make for a difficult to attack system.

Since when ? Core body temp means exactly what it describes: your internal body temp, you can make it a one time measurement, an average or whatever you want.

I expect that shedding more heat will make your body lose more heat, which will lower your body temperature. I don't even know why it's so controversial in this thread, literally no one is refuting the fact that alcohol increase heat loss.

> For a CDN this makes perfect sense

I'd say the inverse is more likely. If you're going to fire a single request to a domain only you are using and you're running a full local resolver, it may make a difference.

For a public CDN: your browser already has the file cached. If it doesn't then it has the domain cached. If it doesn't then the dhcp-provided resolver has it. If it doesn't, then at least it already has the TLD nameserver available immediately, and the TLD can serve that response from very hot cache. It's CDNs job to make sure this happens.

Strongly agree. Keyboard interfaces can be very fast and efficient, but their weakness is having to learn a separate keymap (or set of options) to use a new program.

Vim keys is the closest console programs have to a common language! I seriously think all console programs should use a vim-like keymap. Not Emacs, because Emacs has a completely different philosophy - integrate everything into Emacs. Emacs is the prototype IDE. Emacs doesn't seek to export its keybindings, it seeks to import everything.

In rare cases, the journals don't allow this at all, in some cases they allow you to self-publish only the submitted manuscript, before any modifications based on peer review.

As for why it's not enough—because hiring committees and funding agencies almost never take unpublished (that is, in a proper journal) manuscripts into account when evaluating you and your funding proposals. This is what needs to change in the first place to break the loop.

I was genuinely curious how this can be considered clear, readable code that someone would like to write, maintain and support since it flies in the face of all the usual conventions. I will not enumerate them here, you know them.

Honestly I think that either one of three things is going on here:

1. you can look at m.c, identify a line like "A1(a1,atnv(tX,1,A_(x)))A2(a2,atnv(tX,2,A_(x,y)))A3(a3,atnv(tX,3,A_(x,y,z)))A2(aA,atnv(tA,2,A_(x,y)))A2(aa,atnv(ta,2,A_(x,y)))" and easily understand what it means in the context of the ngn/k interpreter

or

2. you understand the code on the same level the rest of us do (can parse it but need to manually take notes on what everything means) ... but you want people to think you belong to group #1

or

3. you are trolling, in which case good job I guess since I spent like 5 minutes typing this comment out

There's a case to be made for languages that closely map the way processors works, like C.
