A case can be made that they are being regulated into being expensive to support the rather dysfunctional American health system's need for high insurance charges. At any rate - have a look over on the Chinese sites, you can pick them up new there for $600 or so. Obviously do your own research, and spend some time on the CPAP jailbreak forums as well - the community there is very supportive.
I generally find that just about every "What Worked For Me" success essay gets praise and careful parsing. We seem to think that success is a product of either being or doing the right type of thing rather than luck. We seem to think advice is universal enough to apply to everyone rather than being highly contingent. I am suspicious of both.

Now, if you would open source github...

I kid. I have zero hope that that will ever happen.

It has always been bizarre (IMO) that arguably the most popular open source dev forge, er, hub, is closed and proprietary. But what can you do?

Remember when all those FOSS devs sent an open letter to github whining about that and begging for attention? https://github.com/dear-github/dear-github
(Ironically, they "signed" it by filling out a Google docs spreadsheet! As opposed to, say, patching a file.)

Utterly bizarre.

And now they have done it again, apparently because GitHub serves ICE: https://github.com/drop-ice/dear-github-2.0

They "call upon GitHub to: Immediately cancel your contract with ICE ; Commit yourself to a higher ethical standard with all of your business dealings ..." [in writing]. But they stop short of threatening to leave if GitHub doesn't comply with their demands.

Leaving aside the politics of ICE, and the strangeness of talking to "GitHub" like it's a single person, it seems to me that without taking some action (like moving to e.g. Srht or self-hosting a DVCS hub) that this is just posturing.

Anyway, congratulations on sucking more air out of the room of FOSS development. In the words of the aforementioned, undersigned, concerned peasants, excuse me! users, of GitHub:

> We still believe in GitHub as a platform, as a place to help the open source community make the world a genuinely better place. Please, step up and join us.

Hey there, great work. I used Cortex as an inspiration when designing chantilly: https://github.com/creme-ml/chantilly, which is a much less ambitious solution tailored towards online machine learning models. Keep up the good work.
JSON-LD is not specific to ActivityStreams/Pub, it's a general mechanism for expressing any kind of RDF/Linked Data as reasonably idiomatic JSON. It makes sense for a federation-focused spec to use it so that it can be extended seamlessly with other sources of Linked Data. Social Linked Data (SOLID) will most likely rely on these mechanisms to interoperate cleanly with ActivityPub/ActivityStreams, for example.

I think it's the sentiment that's objectionable. Your employer isn't a feudal lord providing sustenance to you out of noblesse oblige. It's a corporation with whom you have a business relationship - you provide skills and they compensate you for them. If you withdrew your labor from them, the cost of hiring labor increases ever so slightly for them due to the shrinking of the labor pool. It may be an asymmetrical relationship but it's not built on charity in either direction.

Prolog implementations are very efficient at implementing back-tracking, so if you end up using a lot of back-tracking it definitely makes sense. My first prototype was started in java and it was a nightmare. Secondly, for writing the query compiler, prolog was just such an elegant language.

SWIPL has a large enough and nice enough library that it makes it feel similar to other dynamic languages (python, etc.) in terms of implementing run-of-the-mill glue code.

I'm very fond of prolog as the implementation language for the constraint checking, and especially CLP(fd). I think CLP(fd) is such a killer feature, that once people start using it in their queries, they're going to wonder how they got-on before.

I would like prolog to be a lot more feature-mature for the current age however. It needs a bigger community to help flesh the language out! So many things could be made better - better mode analysis, better type checking and simply more libraries.

A few questions:

Do you think the scale could be handled better if you informed repo owners 1: that their repo was disabled, and 2: why their repo was disabled?

Currently the owner has to contact support to know why it was disabled, our repo was disabled thursday at 5am pdt, we sent a ticket by 6am. We still don't know why it was disabled. Its tuesday. (edit: we did get a reply, vague comment about slurs, nobody's sure if its the nword word filter (so thats getting removed, ironically enough), or the comment from 2014 with a soft-a, (but it can go), or the fact that the meatball food item has a, umm, british name)).

Also, do you think the scale of content moderation would be easier if you tiered repo disables between can be resolved and can not be resolved, and in the former case provide the same 24 hours deadline that you provide line item dmcas, as well as provide access to the owner during any suspension if the 24 hours deadline is not met (That you also provide to line item dmcas)?

All of these unneeded trips to support has to be eating into the efficiency of things.

> It's the benefit of having limitations that come with being turing incomplete that prevent us from doing a lot of stupid stuff without realizing it and doing "hacky workarounds" without properly understanding the problem we face.

You'll have to articulate your said benefits to be sure, but I would wager that the principle reason to be turing incomplete is to address the halting problem and that the benefits you're thinking about come from other properties of the language (functional purity, immutability, limitations on I/O, type safety where applicable, etc).

Notably, there are lots of hacky workarounds employed in HCL and YAML because people don't understand the problem properly. The problem requires that we can generate arbitrary static configuration from a fixed set of inputs. If your organization is so inept that they keep adding in infinite loops and/or I/O, then by all means, try something like Dhall or Starlark (unfamiliar vs not-type-safe, pick your poison); however, if this is a consistent problem in your organization you probably need to replace your humans because these programs aren't hard to write correctly.

> Or don't do static configuration and just use something like Terraform where you can just reference a resource and pass it around.

Because this only addresses reuse at the resource level. You can do the same thing in CloudFormation; it's not adequate. For example, not everything is a resource. You ultimately need the ability to generate arbitrary static configuration. Terraform probably has lots of other disparate features that collectively address a good portion of the solution space, but programming languages have a unified concept ("functions") that satisfy the whole solution space and programmers are already familiar with them. Terraform's job should be taking static configs and applying them to infrastructure--let a real programming language generate those configs, or at least offer dynamic configuration language that is designed with a proper understanding of the problem (to use your words).

If you want JWT tokens, you should be using OpenID Connect instead of SAML. There is very little reasons to use SAML in 2020, it's over complicated and has little support. OpenID Connect does 95% of the same, much better.

If you want self hosted IAM solutions. The most common one is Microsoft active directory. It provides both SAML and OpenID Connect integrations out of the box as of ADFS 2016.

Still, SAML requires to onboard applications individually, create keys, and stuff. It's not plug and play, it really needs humans on both sides to add a new service.

> Are you just arguing that it's unencrypted and therefore by definition not MITM?

That is exactly what I am saying for 2 reasons.

1. If the connection is HTTP instead of HTTPS there is no trust. MITM is trust violation attack, which cannot be present if there is no trust to attack.

2. All kinds of software and hardware redirect traffic under normal operating conditions. That isn't a MITM merely because the path of traffic, or even the end point, is different than expected. For instance a load balancer could route you from an expected location to different physical data center, which is a completely different end point both physically and logically but its not necessarily an attack if you are still where you want to be and both end points trust each other.

The reason why trust is available with HTTPS and not HTTP isn't even because the pipe is encrypted, but because HTTPS uses certificates and HTTP does not. MITM is all about a trust violation. Certificates are not required with HTTPS, but your browser yells at you when a certificate is absent or untrusted.
Wrong. Many implemented them, Microsoft as first, followed by Cisco, Watcom, Embarcadero, Huawei and Android. Widely used in Windows, Embedded and phones.

Microsoft just changed one bit of the proposal, but no one followed them there. Currently it's the most widely used and worst implemented. I tested all of them.

It solves the bounds checking problem better than _FORTIFY_SOURCE, ASAN and valgrind, because it does the checks always, if compile-time or run-time, independent on the optimizer, the used intrinsics, where valgrind fails, and is much faster than ASAN. Also faster than glibc btw.

My desk is Xcm away from my torso. It is at a height of Ycm from the ground. It has on it Z objects, all of which differ in size and purpose.

You say:

> Wolfram [is] acting as though he thought of the ideas first.

This is called plagiarism. Independent reinvention is no defense if you keep on acting as though you had the idea first. He has already been informed many times that parts of his work are not original, and his behavior doesn't change.

And he knows it, on some level. He made the decision to communicate his "discoveries" in press releases and self-published books. He knows he's not subjecting himself to peer review. He may know, on some level, that his work couldn't pass it. He sued one of his employees to prevent him (the employee) from publishing a proof that Wolfram claimed he had discovered in his book. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_110

I understand what you're up to in trying to invent a psychology that explains his bad behavior, but at some point you have to withdraw empathy and think pragmatically about consequences. Wolfram's actions are already more than sufficient to disgrace an ordinary academic. He's damaged at least one career that we know of. He tries to pass himself off as a visionary scientist only he never delivers. If he wasn't independently wealthy no one would be listening to him at all. But non-experts do listen, which is precisely why speaking up against pseudoscience is part of every real scientist's professional responsibilities. Rather than spin these theories, it would be a better use of your time to send Stephen some email urging him to stick to working on Mathematica.
Is it a good idea to validate API query string parameters?
My company is revisiting our API design and trying to decide whether to validate query string parameters. From my investigation it looks like most major APIs allow extra parameters and just ignore them, but I haven't been able to figure out why. It seems to me that validating parameters is the way to go since it prevents strange results when parameter names are misspelled. So I'm interested in any thoughts on why those APIs might behave the way they do, and any opinions about whether restricting parameters might be a good idea.
