C doesn't have even basic string operations in its standard library. It could do with a lot more libraries but is hampered by not having any kind of dependency management tooling. Where there are monolithic libraries, upgrading is absolutely a problem, but a lot of functionality in C is just not there, which ends up with a lot of duplicated code, snippets copied and pasted or simply reimplemented in every project, and all the associated maintainability and security problems.

.net I'm less familiar with, but I've certainly heard of projects being stuck on older versions of it, and again for a lot of tasks it tends to be a case of there just not being a library available at all.
Another problem that is becoming more of an issue recently is that the "energy efficient sealing" of rooms is causing carbon dioxide to rise higher than expected. Installing air filters may be a proxy for mixing carbon dioxide better with outside air. <shrug>

In short, this study has no real controls, a lot of problems, and not a lot of evidence.

>"at some point in the 2020s, we will get breakthrough augmented reality glasses that will redefine our relationship with technology."

Constant video surveillance, direct-to-eyes on-glass advertising, targeted advertising beamed on every approved spot, interests profiling via retina movements/focus and God knows what else will undoubtedly come about if AR glasses become "cool" and ubiquitous like mobile phones.

Maybe we'll be able to see one another's social points, as earned on the Facebook Ubiquity Platform for All Things Interaction, when gazing upon one another? Maybe we'll be able to haze filter out those naughties who haven't earned enough, or have had points taken away for naughty behaviour like posting against the "community guidelines"?

Maybe we'll be able to use image recognition + the voter records to put an angel or devil next to the people we agree/disagree with politically? How novel would that be? And talk about a time saver! Who wants to even acknowledge those who don't vote in line with our party!?

But seriously though, what options do those of us have to not be part of this dystopian fucking nightmare that the tech elite have in store for us? Save up and try to buy a hut near their fallout shelters in NZ under the hopes that they won't shit where they hide?
It shouldn’t be really surprising at this point: the website probably makes no money on people from the EU via advertising (their advertisers won’t pay for EU clicks), and there is a non trivial overhead in complying with extraterritorial EU laws, so blocking is a cheap solution. Reminds me of how Swiss banks won’t let Americans open bank accounts.
Yup.

This thought occurred to me when I was testing a bulk resource creation script.

My workflow in my lab tenant was:

1) Bulk create hundreds of resources
2) Bulk wipe everything
3) Go to step #1

Turned out, I had some objects with globally unique names that were now conflicting in the production tenant, so I had to wipe my lab.

I had already logged on to the production tenant, and I was so "trigger happy" that I very nearly ran my bulk-erase script against the wrong subscription.

It was a terrifying moment of clarity.

you can just vim into a dir and get a collapsible tree. i don't see any reason to invent yet another tool for something tree -f | grep foo can do. More supply chain hell, more useless tooling, more bloat IMO, prob for some junior dev's "portfolio"/"resume".
I would say Medium and Ghost. Based on my research, Medium tends to get quick traction if you post quality content. Many tend to branch off once they build a reasonable readership.
whew, stack overflow. Haha. If the UI is right it would hopefully be within 5s - 30s. But realistically I probably wouldn't count it, maybe have the app count it for me through some proxy with events or something or other. Good stuff.

It's only truly legal in certain specific locations that have jurisprudence legalizing it. Pornographic filming is likely illegal in most places in the US, and, even in many "legal" places, you will have to hire a lawyer and fight it out if you get arrested.
New users are green for a little while.
That's true, but they do make the more abstract assumption that any bias isn't associated with birth date within cohort. I think the idea is that if there were bias due to instrumentation, it would have to be somehow systematically related to birth date within the cohort.

This is possible if there were some systematic shift in instrumentation with measurement year, but it would be blunted by the extent to which different ages were being sampled at each year.

I agree though that it would be nice to have some information on instrumentation over time and how it relates to temperature measurement.

It's worth noting that the results have practical implications regardless of the explanation of the observed trends, though, which is it's commonly assumed normal body temperature has certain characteristics, without recognizing that that might have shifted in significant ways over time.

It's interesting to me personally because I've often observed my body temp when I'm feeling fine is usually just above 36 C. That doesn't sound like much but it becomes a bigger deal when deciding whether or not I have a significant fever. Some of that might just be individual variation, but this is suggesting there's cohort trends within that too.

Anecdotal, and not the GP, but one of the interview questions I ask is "If you could uninvent one technology, what would it be and why?"

Many of the answers are the same: Facebook. At least for developers, Facebook is generally seen as a net negative for the world in it's current form.

I've never had a window or door broken, but if I left my door unlocked, everything would be stolen. I've had stuff stolen that was outside, even had people try the locked door while I was inside. It doesn't seem to matter that my house is actually pretty easy to break into, as long as I lock the doors. So I would agree that the easiest way to keep people out of my house is to lock the door.

Check out Fakespot.com. you plug in an Amazon URL and the site will analyze the reviews/reviewers and give the product trustworthiness score and an adjusted 5 star rating.

I've had pretty good results with this. I started using it after I bought a couple of VERY highly rated books that were just unreadably bad. I checked them on FakeSpot and they all had abysmal ratings when the fake reviews were removed.
Most likely they think that if they don't sue, they'll lose their intellectual property interest. This would be true if they were suing over a trademark, where undefendended infringement creates a defense of abandonment.
ZFS (or at least ZoL) doesn't scale well to NVMEs:

I don't blame the communications rep. From her perspective, she's probably been told what the CEO believes - Gandi lost data, but they never promised backups so it's not a big deal. They responded to someone that is being extremely critical. The rep (Julie) did the right thing and apologised after others criticised her tweet, and also kept the response up to illustrate the mistake. While a meme is bad taste, I can somewhat understand the reaction.

IMO, the blame lies solely with the CEO, because he is still to retract his statement regarding snapshots not being backups (despite their site selling them as backups to the end-user), and for not accepting the fact that for someone controlling business data that creating backups AND regularly testing them via restores is 100% essential. Culture trickles down, and if the CEO only accepts blame and not the reason for the blame then it's a sign that they won't learn from the problem - and that's the biggest red flag you will ever see in ANY business.

I can only see one way back for them that won't taint their reputation completely. They need to:

* Post a full post-mortem of what happened, how it happened, how they fixed it, and what they're going to do to ensure it never happens again.

* Issue a full apology for the problem. Accept full blame, and accept (including the CEO on Twitter) that Gandi failed to follow accepted industry standards.

* Sit down with the engineers that work at Gandi and hear their grievances. While I doubt that their engineers knew this would happen, I'd be willing to bet that there is at least one person there that had raised the lack of off-site backups and no recovery mechanism. That person needs a promotion, and whatever resources needed to fix Gandi.

* Issue a full refund to those that lost data - not a small discount, as already reported. A discount is a kick in the teeth, whereas a full refund is the start of a real apology for failing the customer. If you go for a meal at a restaurant and find broken glass in your food, the first thing the server will do is give you a full refund, no questions asked, regardless of how expensive your parties order was. Gandi need to take the hit, and live to fight another day.

Might not be limited to just struggling kids. Might not be limited to just kids.

It's interesting to think about what implications this might have for our own, grown up adult incentive mechanisms. Is it such a great idea to gate pretty much everything on results, when a) this is at least partially subject to chance and b) workers might not quite know what to do to achieve those results.
Three things you should keep in mind regarding those numbers:

1. They're worst case numbers, as in the hard drive being mounted perpendicular to the impact force. Some OEM crapbox PCs may have spinning rust mounted to the front of the case directly in a vertical orientation, but most PCs have them mounted horizontally and many use shock absorbing rubber bushings.

2. As noted, your numbers also assume an inelastic collision. Almost all PC cases have a plastic front, and all robo-vacs I'm aware of have the same.

3. The absolute peak potential impact force is significantly less than a single accidental kick or kid/pet running in to it.

If you're really concerned about impact, you should get your PC off the floor. That said, I'd happily frisbee a Roomba at my PC and not be concerned for anything other than the front panel of the case itself.
This looks good and I can understand the use case. Pretty neat!

Just for those who don't want to learn more ... you can get a lot of similar utility experience using:

`tmux` (for panes with mouse support) and `fish` (for autocomplete)

I prefer to handle lot of the additional function over `ls` or `tree` that is offered by `broot` in separate panes.

I just feel it is more manageable and interactive with a lot of flexibility.
Yarn folks try hard (it seems) to get rid of local node_modules and link directly to user-wide multi-version repos, but met the resistance from tool maintainers who just walk that dir directly. I can’t remember specific details now, but yarn pnp didn’t work for me, because of browserify and co apparently.

As of the cache size, I simply do not care. E.g. installing gnome, kde or openoffice requires to download hundreds of megabytes of binaries and everyone is okay with that. If you’re not familiar with these packages, they draw large ui controls, copy files and render bad tables. Not much different from a regular node project.
Yeah? Depends how you define free will.

If people want to eat and make rent, they need to afford it somehow, and the employment options are bleak (see: charging scooters).

So maybe you meant they have "the free will to decide if they want to work shitty jobs, or not live". We can't be too surprised that the suicide rate is going up in this country.
Are there any lawyers that can verify the legal claims made? Anyone can file a lawsuit at anytime for whatever reason, that doesn't mean the lawsuit is valid. Sure using ZFS on your home system or even a small implementation is not a big deal but if there's a company with money lawsuits happen.

I would think the wide availability and usage of ZFS and the fact that this is no longer 20 years ago when companies would sue as if they were 19th century tycoons there must be some sort of "well you let ZFS be used this long without suing you can't just let it be open for so long and then sue when it is profitable" sort of statue in American law. Again I'm not a lawyer and I know enough about law to know I do not know enough about law.

Mark wants the government to enact rules that only huge established players can possibly comply with in order to stamp out competition. If FB just went ahead and did these things themselves another player could enter the field in their place.
Damned, that really sucks! :P We went there last Jully and it was marvelous. Not just the part modelled after Kowloon Walled City, but also the arcade itself, best arcade machine selection from anywhere we went. Even the other visitors we met were pretty cool, showing their crazy skills on the music arcades and sometimes ever wearing stylish cyperpunk styled clothes. :)

Oh well, at least we saw it while it was still operational.
Look at everything Mark's overseen at Facebook over the last decade.

The unimaginably deep dark pools of data collection, the targeting, Internet.org's absolutely transparent attempt to get developing nations trapped on Facebook under the guise of philanthropy, the complete non-response to extremism on their own platform until way after it was a problem, the list goes on and on.

That's the last 10 years. Now Mark says they're building a more private, smaller platform? Private for who?

Mark says he wants to enable small businesses to connect with customers through their networks. What he's really saying is he wants every last piece of society to operate through his network so Facebook can get it's cut of the local laundromat.

I hate these grand-yet-bland, corporate flavored prognostications. There's absolutely no reason we should believe any of these things he's excited about will be a net benefit for the rest of us.
Absolutely. Regulation for Zuckerberg, written by Zuckerberg's counsel, with loopholes accommodating Zuckerberg, and penalties that would be a mere cost-of-doing-business if raised for Zuckerberg.

The US government needs dramatically less influence from moneyed lobbyists and tech powerhouses, not more. God help us if it goes the opposite direction. It would make the utter scandal that was the US government granting immunity to the telecom companies for facilitating widespread surveillance by the US government look like a child's game.
You seem to be confused and are all over the map with that comment. Sure some patients aren't able to get enough time with qualified doctors. However that has nothing to do with whether a particular depressed patient is best treated with an SSRI, MAOI, or something else. You cannot seriously claim that MAOIs are completely safe: like every powerful drug, doctors have to weigh benefits against potential side effects.

Pseudoephedrine is still available without a prescription if you want it. I bought some at my local pharmacy last month. The government forced the industry to restrict sales quantities and require customers to show ID because drug dealers were buying it to cook methamphetamine.
The monopoly is the social advertising platform.

Analysis of whether a company is a monopoly should involve things other than market domination, for example anticompetitive behavior like buying all competitors. Even if you feel you have a choice as a consumer, the analysis of whether Facebook or any company has an economically detrimental monopoly should include their actions to stifle competition and achieve pricing power.
This discussion inspired me to refine Scalene's output further. Scalene now separates out CPU time spent in Python from time spent in C (that is, not executing in the interpreter). I think this is the best of both worlds: all CPU time is accounted for, and it's easy for users to see what code is running where. Thanks!

Not if it means reducing capabilities of the program in order to add bumper guards.

I can’t think of any software that handles a complex program that doesn’t have a manual, documentation like a manual, or a learning curve. Git is a tool for developers, not casual users who want typical apps.

Again, you wouldn’t make an argument like this for a tool used by a plumber or a mechanic. If a tool succinctly handles a problem, good! But using tools is part of the profession; they have learning curves.

Most issues with git are PEBKAC issues because people refuse to spend 10 minutes of their life reading about a tool they may use for hundreds or thousands of hours. I wouldn’t want to cater to those kinds of people.

This exploit, like many before it, make use of NSKeyedUnarchiver.

It's a class which allows arbitrary types to be serialized on the wire.

I think it's time that Apple had a new policy that no NSKeyedUnarchiver will ever go from one iPhone to another. They could do that by having a random 64 bit number in the header, and if the header doesn't match the local device, refuse to unarchive.

Then all software that breaks, find new ways to encode the specific data they need to send over the wire. Specifically, require they send a specific serialized class structure (ie. something with a schema), rather than something general purpose.
AFAIK it stores multiple copies of those important data structures though, so should take more than a single bit flip.
