I’m a contractor. One of my gigs involved writing parsers for 20-something different kinds of pdf bank statements. It’s a dark art. Once you’ve done it 20 times it becomes a lot easier. Now we simply POST a pdf to my service and it gets parsed and the data it contains gets chucked into a database. You can go extremely far with naive parsers. That is, regex combined with positionally-aware fixed-length formatting rules. I’m available for hire re. structured extraction from PDFs. I’ve also got a few OCR tricks up my sleeve (eg for when OCR thinks 0 and 6 are the same)
It's a lot like web tech and browsers. It used to be a much more manageable effort to create an entirely new browser engine, but now that the standard is larger and faster moving, smaller entrants haven't been able to keep up. It's an interesting consequence of these faster moving targets that they trend towards consolidation down to two competing entrants in both cases.
It seems that the virus has spread in every country regardless of their healthcare system. Not trying to demean your desire for such a system, just in regard to this virus it is an equal-opportunity pandemic that all countries are suffering from. Universal healthcare has not prevented it.

I’m sorry to hear about your wife’s friend. But both examples you gave (people having to fight for further diagnoses of outside-case health problems) are really common with private healthcare in the United States too - we’ve just shifted the burden of cost of treatment/quality of life decisions to private entities who typically are only interested in furthering shareholder value. To give a personal anecdote as well: A close friend of my wife’s had to fight and fight to get insurance to cover appointments in order to get her breast cancer diagnosed.

I would like to understand if the world really does rely on US private-healthcare funded research - I’ve heard this argument mentioned before and have always been curious about it.
Yes, it looks good. They spend a lot of money.

But, if you look at all the countries that have successfully won the fight against malaria (many Latin American countries, southern US, southern EU, etc): it wasn't because of vaccines but because of good public administration.

Anyway, sure it's good that money goes to vaccines research. But so far it only looks good. They also spend money on other areas.
The take-away is that PDF should not be an input to anything.
I didn't mention it, but a search for "waterfowl guide children" brought up 90% American sites about killing ducks. So chasing them seems like a minor issue.

(Adding "site:uk" to the search gives 90% results about feeding ducks.)

I can't find any official advice on whether chasing birds is considered healthy or harmful to either the child or the birds.
After many years of experience and optimization I am most convinced of the outliner concept, and eventually I have even written my own tool for it (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/CrossLine/). A good outliner allows you to structure the text while you type without taking your hands off the keyboard. Compared to a linear text entry, e.g. with a text file, you can put the information directly into a context which makes it much easier to interpret it later. When I was in the management of several large defence projects, this concept helped me to always keep an overview and manage all relevant information in one place. Over time, I was able to record meetings with thirty to fifty people in real time and then distribute the minutes immediately afterwards.

>I would not be surprised if cancer has some kind of operational working like pregnancy related diabetes which then causes the high glucose levels and accelerates everything even more.

Ding ding ding. My wife's blood glucose levels went from normal 90's range to averaging around 120 over the summer to averaging close to 200 last December. Her liver had a heavy disease burden, and my understanding based on my own research (because none of her doctors would address it) is that this can affect insulin sensitivity, which in turn can cause elevated blood sugar. This does not seem to be a dominant effect, however, and can go the other way as well.

When it does create hyperglycemia though, it also creates an unfortunate feedback loop in that the elevated blood sugar levels can increase the cancer progression, compounding the effect.
We’ve had political advertising in this country since Thomas Paine, and much of it has been scurrilous.

I would say that this is a natural consequence of having a free press, but places with a nonfree press also have political advertising (as a propaganda organ of the state) so maybe it is just a consequence of having media available in general.

In general, arguments by analogy tend to get hung up on the aptness of the analogy. I find it helps short-circuit a lot of long, unproductive discussions at work by just straightforwardly stating my thoughts—“we should do x because y,” rather than “system A is like system B (which does x because y), so we should do x.”

How to Creat a simple Discord bot with Python
For context in terms of what caused this, here's the PR which I assume fixed the bug in question: https://github.com/letsencrypt/boulder/pull/4690

It looks like a nasty and subtle pass-by-reference of a for-range local variable, although I'm having trouble figuring out where the reference is stored: https://github.com/letsencrypt/boulder/blob/542cb6d2e06e756a...

I've spent plenty of time hunting down similar bizarre bugs in Go code as well, where the called function ~implicitly~ takes a pointer to the iteration variable and stores it somewhere. Each iteration of the for loop updates the stack-local in-place, and later reads of the stored reference will not read the original value. It's hard to spot from the actual call site :/

EDIT: This was an explicitly taken `&v` reference, but the same thing can also happen implicitly, if you call a `func (x *T) ...` method on the variable.
The most likely cause will be that you issued similar certificates a few days (more than eight hours) earlier with the same Let's Encrypt account.

Suppose on Wednesday you get a cert for example.com and www.example.com, and then on Thursday you realise you also need images.example.com - you use the same ACME account (if you run Certbot this will happen by default if you use the same machine and user account, it silently makes you a free account if you don't have one already) and so Let's Encrypt can see that this account showed proof-of-control for two of these names on Wednesday, so only fresh proof-of-control of images.example.com is needed. Unfortunately this bug means Let's Encrypt forgot to re-check CAA for the old names, and so there's a risk they technically were no longer authorised to issue for these names and shouldn't have given you the Thursday certificate.

Rather than try to argue about whether it's appropriate to disregard this check, Let's Encrypt decided to revoke all ~3 million affected certificates. That's maybe 2-3 days worth of normal issuance in the last 90 days, so lots but hardly "the majority".
It has not been tested on human children most likely (and hopefully!) but it has been tested and is true on other mammals.
It's a similar idea, where the balls start in the 'finished' position, and very little tolerance to being disturbed. Recreating that state would be more trouble than it's worth.
He may accept numbers in article and still think that 14 years later things are different. Wikipedia changed policies in the meantime, society changed in the meantime.

He may also think that more representative selection of articles to run test on would end up differently.

Out of hours response to a critical problem is standard. You can achieve it in various ways but they all boil down to people who know what they're doing having a professional ethic. Typically it isn't possible to have shifts of engineers with deep understanding of the code on call so ultimately you need to wake someone up. So remember to keep a note (up to date) of key staff home phone numbers, their home addresses.

Maersk prepares to lay off the Maidenhead staffers who rescued it from NotPetya
Well I have pointed it out before - the person they need to convince to sell ads is the client and not the end customer.

We see that all the time with "not advertiser friendly" content that is popular and their foolish attempts to shape it because they fear the backlash of the irrelevant noisy "church lady" types upset that Coke advertised to a musician who admits to having had premarital sex once. The New Jazz/Rock and Roll/Heavy Metal/Rap being shunned at first until it gets huge and the opportunity always being missed by the one who captured the prior wave comes to mind as a reoccuring generational foolishness.

In order to sustain technically all that needs to be done is to convince the adseller that you are responsible for success and the adseller's situation to be sustainable. The performance itself is irrelevant until they can actually audit the effectiveness.

Well it is very inconvenient, but isn't this the strength of certificates?

When something is wrong you can revoke them immediately.

Why leave a potential vulnerability open for more than 24 hours?
The seasons are caused by the orientation of the Earth's tilted axis relative to the sun. E.g the north pole is tilted towards the sun during summer of the northern hemisphere, and away from the sun in winter.

Now imagine the Earth being magically held in place, instead of orbiting around the sun. This would almost stop the seasons from advancing, but not entirely. There would still be a slow 26000 year cycle of the seasons, because the Earth's axis precesses much like a spinning top. It's this effect that speeds up the cycle of the seasons by about 20 minutes each year. (1 year/26000 is about 20 minutes)
Low Humidity Enables Transmission of Viruses
It's unlikely as up until now it was the only compiler capable of building the Linux kernel (due to its reliance on some GCC extensions to the language).

It is primarily non-GPL platforms/systems/companies that are switching to clang for it's much friendlier license.

The Baseline Requirements for publicly-trusted CAs (section 4.9.1.1) require timely revocation of mis-issued certificates - either 24 hours or 5 days depending on the reason. I'm not entirely certain which is applicable here, but I'd assume Let's Encrypt's hands are tied in this case.

But the problem is that the bias often isn't understood by the readership - a lot of people consider the Guardian, NY Times and similar to be sources of unbiased, objective truth, despite the impossibility of that being the case. And those newspapers own branding only tries to encourage that view.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised. BSD has no philosophical reason to keep GCC over Clang, and if Clang is delivering better performance for them, obviously they're gonna use it.

Sorry, this is a bit off-topic regarding PDF extraction, but it distracted me greatly while reading...

I'm pretty sure the intention was A B C D (cut then wash). Not sure why the author would not use alphabet order for the recipe...

[edit] Sorry, I made it read to a colleague and he mentioned the A B C D annotations were probably not in the original document. This was not clear at all for me while reading, and if they are not included it's indeed hard to find the correct paragraph order.

Without clang we would still have terrible compile error messages.

Guide to Effective Remote Working
Reminds me of one cultural interaction - patients from western cultures tend to have far more negative and evil voices perhaps related to more Judeo Christian possesion by demons cultural baggage and descendant myths like "slasher who kills because the voices tell him to" (which defense attorney strategy cases aside are ironically real manifestationd of the culture bound delusion).

Interestingly those other cases tend to be more positive or neutral despite other posession myths in the host culture.

I guess anxiety and paranoia makes the "demons" whatever is believeable to the cultural zeitgeist.
Yeah probably an oversimplification but it just creates different combinations and the ones that attach to the pathogen (and don't attach to non-pathogenic things in the body) are reproduced.

Who cares, it was his option to pursue. Everyone's free to not take treatment regardless of the potential benefit. Hell you can go to the store and buy cigarettes. However, if you wish to avail yourself of a treatment that isn't standard of care, you're going to have a bad time unless you can find a clinical trial and magically pass both the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Self taught developer here.

I learned to write better code by making code testable. When writing spaghetti code with a few tests, I'd create a big mess that worked. But then I'd try to add a test for something new and I couldn't figure out how to make it work. After coding myself into a corner enough times, I'd eventually learn to create more flexible abstractions. And eventually the code started making a bit more sense out if necessity.

The next big jump in my understanding was learning Elixir and the actor model. Learning how to write async code that didn't get a reply and where messages might not be received was huge.

I didn't get my first dev job until I was 40. I most definitely understand what it feels like being older than my peers in this industry. My secret weapon is knowing my shit and working my ass off to stay relevant. This is a hard industry if you don't like it enough to keep your skills sharp. Like you, I don't relish front-end development, but I do my best to learn what I need to know as needed.
Because revoking them will cause interruption to legitimate users, but doesn’t stop an attack.

I’m just starting to think LE is more aimed at large organizations than people running smaller configurations. Which is fine, thankfully we still have traditional CAs. I just hope we don’t devolve into a monoculture of ACME-only SSL.
That's part of why I ask. As of late last year, clang can compile x86_64 Linux 5.x kernels.
I think this was also the spirit of the GP's post: there is obviously a lot of pre-wiring at least in the perception area of the brain. If there weren't, it would be impossible for the neurons to learn how to control and interpret the extremely complex input from the eye in the mere days it takes. Also, if there weren't pre-built wiring of some kind, you would not expect to see the same arbitrary definitions of objects develop in all people (I realize object perception comes a little later than simple sight).

Of course, just as you say, like almost any other physiological process, if you do not expose those pre-built structures to enough stimuli, they will atrophy. This is especially true in the early developmental period.

The title is highly misleading. First, it's the ancient GCC 4.2.1 from 2007. Next, it's removed from the FreeBSD build system, which means it's no longer used in the internal development of FreeBSD and you can no longer build FreeBSD with GCC. Meanwhile, GCC is still maintained for userspace and the latest GCC 9 is included in the FreeBSD Port [0], you can install it on your machine for your personal use. Finally, the commit message said "At this time all
supported architectures either use in-tree Clang, or rely on external toolchain (i.e., a contemporary GCC version from ports)", so I assume even with GCC support removed, you can still build FreeBSD, if you insist, with an external copy of modern GCC.

Suggested alternative title: FreeBSD has Removed GCC from Build Infrastructure.

Perhaps you could expand on the threat model you're talking about where you, as a remote attacker, can somehow get a packet with an RFC1918 dest IP sent to the WAN port of your intended victims home router.

It's perhaps worth pointing out that this discussion is very much in the context of a home network, so well-actually arguments about "maybe I have a GRE tunnel set up to this random users home router" or "maybe I'm their ISP and want to break into the router I supplied them with" won't really carry much weight - you mentioned the concept of a broken threat-model, but a threat model needs to be grounded in reality, and the reality is that unless you go far out of your way to do silly things NAT is a reasonable and practical protection for home users against accidentally exposing services on their network to the internet at large.
