I can see both sides of the argument here, but don't really have an opinion. Perhaps if I weren't a middle-aged, middle-class, white male in a Western country, I'd feel more strongly about it. As it is, I do feel a bit of "social justice fatigue" on issues like this.

Very cool OP! Love it!
I am very curious about the composition of the air inside, and what it could tell us to have such a perfectly isolated sample that is nearly a billion years old.
There was an ISS set built on the real ISS, but it needed to be disassembled after two hours due to the fire hazard. Unfortunately, that version can't be built on the ground: "It's a solid model but I believe it can't bear its own weight under gravity,"

> Made up of hundreds of bricks, the model was launched in partially-preassembled "chunks" to help make up for the difficulties working with very small pieces in microgravity. The space station could not be launched fully-assembled, because like the real orbiting outpost, it could only be built in space.

> The LEGO station's time fully assembled was short lived however. Due to the flammability hazards, the toy bricks could only be exposed to the open cabin air for two hours.

To me, a car is like my shoes. It's a utilitarian thing that's meant to brave the worst of the elements, not a showpiece status symbol.

But then you could say that about your house paint/lawn, and your HOA will make sure you change your mind...

I think it IS valid to reason "maintaining this standard of vanity is a diagnostic signal that you're financially and psychologically sound and socialized and also affects the morale of others around you", kind of like maintaining a neat uniform in the military. But :C
There's also no justification for owning slaves, so it seems like a pretty apt analogy.

Technically, this is what clock-stretching is for. In practice, you're right that complex devices implemented proxy registers. I've seen it on DP->MIPI bridges for example.
or at least filter out results that are irrelevant. They are lacking the ability to remove dated results when you are looking for the most recent.

I know you can manually filter results, but why show 10 year old answers to software that gets updated so frequent! I am sure there are other areas where this exists, dated results should be pushed back a few pages.
And in my case I would consider double my donation this year. Because we need them and alternative browsers more than ever, because current Tech landscape dramatically need more ethics and less golden boys.

It’s a terrible investment for many. However the government has made a holy war against tiny houses/high density and anything which costs less than 500k, because tax revenue and vested interests.

I’d say that upkeep and taxes on a house will be much greater than the management fees on a similar investment. In addition you have to deal with multiple government agencies (health dept, municipal tax dept) if you want to continue to live in or sell your house.

Much of the new houses I see being built are prefab hardeeboard which will look atrocious well before the mortgage is paid off.

We should really just get 3D printed high-density concrete houses down and be done with it. This is a solvable problem but everyone with the 1.2mm loan will freak out when you can get a better quality apartment that won’t rot for 200k.
Here is a shameless plug for a build-it-yourself multi-function FT232H-based (USB interface) board that can do I2C among other things (JTAG/SPI/UART/GPIO) and has a few extras compared to similar commercial boards from elsewhere (pullups and some blinkenlights).

The board works with various apps and frameworks, including OpenOCD and CircuitPython.

My hometown, rural midwestern location, has so many homes available and all of them are under $100,000. 1,500-2,000sqft and 0.5+ acre lots. Many could use a little TLC, but are in safe and livable condition. There are many factories trying to hire anyone with a pulse and clean saliva (drug test that is easy to beat). There are also many engineering jobs available (primarily mechanical and civil). My hometown isn’t sexy though. No hip coffee shops. No gigabit Internet. Few restaurants. Trump supporters everywhere. All of the educated young people, myself included, flee the area.
Google has this thing called “Testing on the Toilet” where they post factoids about Google’s codebase and best practices. I read one and it said FORTRAN is a highly secure language (or there haven’t been any security vulnerabilities found in the language in a while).

Devil’s advocate for not writing FORTRAN off completely at first sight.
And one who was more than once found to be somewhat wanting in the ethics department.

Such a stupid comment. No one is owed a job and employment is voluntary. Just because you don't like something and are jealous doesn't make it unethical. You fail to grasp that 10, 20, 100 years ago those jobs didn't even exist, but they are somehow sacred? This community really needs to grow up
Ye but transitioning from impossible to plausible carries an inherent risk. If that honey pot is attractive enough then it will gain more attention and increase the chances of zero days.

The potential impact of an exploited zero day in this context has the potential to be immense and that's the risk that troubles me.

The module is now free, but it's not open source, it is licensed under the proprietary Elastic license. The source is available but it is not licensed to be used with anything except the Elastic licensed version of Elasticsearch (not even the Apache licensed version of Elasticsearch)

However, Amazon has thankfully released a free and open source security module for Elasticsearch as part of their Open Distro project. It is based on another project called Search Guard. See: https://opendistro.github.io/
That's not the cost of time you're seeing; it's the implied volatility.
Elasticsearch started life as a free product and security was a paid addon to that product via the X-Pack, now Elastic Co has made the security stuff free but people still don't implement it. Elasticsearch is insecure out of the box and it takes extra steps to get it secured, and most people don't do those steps even though its pretty well documented right here:

Hi Kostas,
Great idea to pull this together. A bunch of us tech writers have had a similar idea, and have banded together to create the key standard templates for tech projects - focusing initially on the core open-source documents required. Still early days for us, but we have put an alpha 0.1 release out.

I can't speak for the original commenter, but my concern is that Mozilla might be pushing for a vision of ethics in tech which excludes some ethics they'd prefer not to follow.
Isn't this just filtering issues with label "good first issue" other than the one user already is viewing?

Can someone explain the "machine learning algorithm" part here?
Hey, thanks!

We can't be the tool for everyone and we're always the first to recognize bugs exist. Unfortunately we also aren't able to fix them all just like I'm sure most people around here have backlogged bugs in the applications they work on. But we do try to prioritize based on severity and how many people are impacted.

I do appreciate the kind words though. We're not perfect, never will be, but we can sure try our best and I think that's all anyone really wants out of themselves.

If you ever run into issues feel free to reach out as well. Happy to help however I can!

That's all fine and true but it is a fact that you're better off taking your advice about ethics from a party that is ethical and Mozilla's record is less than spotless, to put it mildly.

People far better placed than Mozilla the company have been saying this for years so they are late to that particular party anyway and plenty of the damage done they did themselves.

Personally, my take is the opposite: if you are an ethical person find the very worst company that you are still willing to work for and try to change them from the inside. After all if only non-ethical people want to work at certain companies that will make things worse, not better.
For what it's worth, here is a good doc on I2C resets: https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/appl...
By your definition, a stock that does not pay dividends would not count as an "investment" either because you can only realize capital gains on it (if you get "lucky").
Another angle from further down that thread: https://external-preview.redd.it/mmt_drJQ7vWZi6Uu-DHLx5JaUTp...
Why do they even do it in the first place?
If places like China allow higher pay we may see some people leave. Lucky we have more people than CEO jobs and we will fill them.

I would be more concerned if people who picked fruit were being poached with higher pay. We have no one willing to do those jobs.
Totally agree with the Instagram part. Worst software ever.
Conversely, Chrome is heading in the right direction:

>Chrome plans to more aggressively restrict fingerprinting across the web. One way in which we’ll be doing this is reducing the ways in which browsers can be passively fingerprinted, so that we can detect and intervene against active fingerprinting efforts as they happen. [0]

This will include things like restricting the volume of Browser API checks allowed, etc, to reduce the number of bits that can be used in a fingerprint.

The latest version of Visual COBOL[1] supports .NET Core. And I believe you can extend C# classes in COBOL. So you might just be able to write an entire ASP.NET Core application in COBOL.

Whether you'd want to is another question rntirely. Might make for a fun weekend project. :)

Tethics. You've invented Tethics.
This is obviously satire. But it's a satire of very real human psychology.

20 years ago I was making low six figures and driving a Camry with 200k miles, and regularly took a ribbing for it from my colleagues.

I eventually bought my (dream) car, a Nissan 350z, used, with 19k miles on it, for 23k. I was told by at least one person to "man up and buy a BMW."

The funniest thing about it was, in Irvine, a 350z is a pretty inexpensive car. When I would drive my same vehicle in Riverside county, it was not uncommon for people to just stare at the car go by, as they'd never seen one before.
This caught my eye:

So... I should install a script that loads from Google servers?

Apart from that, you probably don't want to tie yourself to google like that. Once the users have this in their pages they will _never_ update it. You should use your own domain.

It's why I'm somewhat against WASM, even though it's very cool from a technical standpoint. It makes the web even more of an operating system, where I'd like it to be less.
Trade offs, yes, but they must be comparable and proportionate. For example, you cannot compare proven carcinogenicity with fatberg risk. You could, however, compare the toxicity of consuming larger amounts of overheated cooking oil with that of Teflon.
A quick survey of GNU tar man pages, by program version and the date that appears in the page itself:

1.23 March, 2012: no examples (RHEL 6)
1.26 March, 2015: no examples (OpenSUSE 13.1)
1.26 February, 2016: no examples (CentOS 7)
1.29 March, 2016: limited examples (Ubuntu 1804)

The last has no actual "EXAMPLES" section in the man page; only some incidental examples appearing among a discussion of "Option styles." I suspect this is also what you see; it's in the same position in the page. So there is some evidence that examples aren't entirely prohibited in GNU man pages, at least in recent years. Progress, I guess. The latest work on this man page (release 1.32) shows no further progress.

TLDR goes well beyond those incidental examples and is far closer to what I'd hope to see; first class, worked example forms eagerly supplied. Without suffering info.
Yes, I was trying to highlight that all the Teslas in the world won't make up for the extra consumption caused by utilizing so much space by non-dense living, since everything has to be moved exponentially further requiring exponentially more materials and energy.

Hopefully we see the externalities of energy usage priced in via a carbon tax or similar, but at the same time, unless we can alter the lifestyle of many to allow for far more density, I don't believe it will be enough.
> The fact that we let our elected officials blame everybody else except them is part of the problem.

The fact that they're "elected" should be a clue as to why they act the way they do. They believe (rightly or wrongly) that acting any other way will lose them the next election.

While the California proposition process has had some terrible outcomes, it has also been a way for the people to force the legislature to do popular things that career politicians hesitate to do, like prison reform and legalizing weed.

And that's a good thing.
I see it a bit differently.

A house provides a basic human necessity (shelter) and can be insured. It stands to reason that it can be mostly financed with very long-term, cheap, debt capital. Other than mass-scale depopulation, not much will cause a house to dramatically lose value, especially to a first-lien lender.

Stocks are a different animal. Even assuming a company performs well, which it may or may not, there are all sorts of crazy things -- trade tensions, interest rates, valuation changes, investor sentiment for/against various sectors, completely leaving aside rational changes in value due to company performance -- which cause price swings far detached from company fundamentals. US equity markets went up ~30% in the past year. They could fall as well. If anything like this happened in housing, you'd literally get riots in the streets.

I don't think it's an accident that the financial system provides so much credit for housing. Yes, it should probably be a little more expensive (thank Fannie and Freddie for that) and yes, maybe we could use a little more equity, 20%, or 30%. But suggesting houses should be 100% equity-financed like most stock purchases? Doesn't make sense.
I've worked with infrared crop imaging since 1984. Back to the day when you had to charter a plane and your film had to be refrigerated. This is potentially very significant, a unicorn in the making. But it's going to take several years of 'ground truthing' predicted results before you've got a potential winner. Plus you've still got the problem of taking the photos in a cost effective way. I'm willing to bet this wouldn't work as well using satellite photos.
Agreed, but most I2C busses only have 2 or 3 devices on them. There are some boards with 16 or so devices on the same bus, but much more than that and you'd better hope you can either program their addresses or order them with a specific address, or you might end up with 2 chips with the same address.
The puzzle pieces:

1. Prevent syntax errors.

2. Remove the need to type on a keyboard.

3. Remove the need to memorize basic commands.

The kids will eventually need to learn #2, but I think it's great that they can do programming in the interim.

#3 will start to come naturally once you've dragged enough if-else blocks in Scratch. Scratch is an on-ramp.

I will point out btw that Scratch is turing-complete.
I've worked for "ethical" companies and those decidedly not, and was quite surprised to discover little or no correlation between that and the ethics of their employees.

Probably the most ethical thing you can do is to make as much money as you reasonably can and then donate most of it to the best bang-for-the-buck cause you can.
As strange (and low stakes) as it may sound: I worry most about city driving. I live in a city that gets a healthy dose of snow. The roads are barely wide enough for two cars to pass each other. Throw in a truck and all parties better be paying close attention.
It's definitely not a dead language – a new Fortran front-end has recently been accepted into the LLVM project, joining Clang. So LLVM's only in-tree supported languages (excluding the various IRs) will be C, C++, Objective-C, and Fortran.

It had been scheduled for merge into the LLVM monorepo 2 days ago, but has been delayed pending some additional architecture review.

Don't let the desire for perfection prevent improvement. And while I take your last point, trying to make e.g. an advertising company with tens of thousands of employees more ethical is going to be less productive than going somewhere that's trying to do some societal good in the first place.
Implementing PyLucid
I'm not familiar with Adapt before this post, but in general, yeah, a componentized backend is a very popular approach, particularly on Kubernetes, e.g., with tools like Jsonnet, Kustomize, Helm (umbrella) charts.

"Next gen" alternatives to Terraform like Pulumi also take a different approach to similar ideas.

You might also be interested in Cloud Native Application Bundles [1].

[Update: If I'm understanding Adapt right, it looks like Adapt is going for similar ideas but doing the configuration management in JSX and attempting to automate much of the DevOps details for the end user. It sort of looks like how Create React App insulates one from Webpack for common use cases. If it works as well as it sounds in the tutorial, this could be an easier to get up and running alternative to e.g., a Docker Compose setup, for someone whose skills are more on the frontend side.]

Is the top poster's main concern here that the person that resells their program does not include the disclaimer somewhere in the documentation?

Note how that information could be placed anywhere, even a remote and not well accessible or logical place. Would that solve the complaint the top poster has? Not really.

Would most people that potentially buy this software even read that information? Or be wanting to redistribute the code? After all, the code is already freely distributed and available!

Not that I condone the behavior - I think it is deplorable, it is stealing, it breaks the spirit of the license.

It is more about not fully understanding what licenses may be used for.

Hi Andreas, thanks for your work on this. I'd not heard of your project before today but I really enjoy using OpenBSD so the headline caught my eye.

I'll be sure to give Serenity a try ASAP.

Based on your experience so far updating user programs to use pledge and unveil; do you have any suggestions for how to go about analyzing a program up front and figure out where to spend the effort putting these into legacy code?

I haven't any time to play with this on OpenBSD but I've been meaning to so any insight you can provide is most appreciated.

And BTW, the screenshots of Serenity are great, really take me back to "the good ol' days"!
