We're talking about putting the closing brace on the same line of an expression, like this:

int double(int x){
return x * 2;}

instead of like this:

int double(int x) {
return x * 2;
}

In Lisp, you would write that like this:

(defun double (x)
(* 2 x))

and not this:

(defun double (x)
(* 2 x)
)

You can read either with syntax highlighting and the appropriate indentation, but it's much harder to get away with putting the closing brace on the same line in C-like languages because of how few people use something like Smartparens or Paredit and how having multiple kinds of brackets (parens, square brackets, curly braces, and angle brackets) introduces ambiguity.

The other option that is touted a lot is cloud gaming, with services like Stadia.

There are outstanding issues to resolve there, like input lag and visual fidelity, but it certainly removes the ability to cheat at the system level by hooking into game processes and memory.

Aimbots would be still be theoretically possible through MITM video feed analysis (as has been speculated) but that would also work in your cartridge scenario.

> Despite that I get a crystal clear HD picture for all participants, but I'd happily sacrifice video quality (in fact I'd accept audio only in some cases) to get a more real time experience (disabling video doesn't seem to have any effect).

If you're really willing to sacrifice video completely, at least for Zoom, and probably for lots of other videoconferencing solutions, you can call into meetings with your phone. In fact, I think Zoom allows you to join with the computer for video and the phone for audio, which might be the best of both worlds.

I don't understand why so many people think that the best possible plan is for everyone to get infected. The best possibilities involve a few percentage points of the global population getting infected, no where near everyone.

"The only mistake is not recognizing that you're incurring debt, and not having a plan or means to deal with it. Unacknowledged debt of any kind compounds and eventually destroys." True story!

"I would guess that your pilot example was less about nerves of steel than about someone who had learned to handle (i.e., process) a lot of stress effectively--which is just a way of saying that nerves of steel is more about efficiently incurring and discharging debt than about withstanding cumulative effects."

In your view, how does withstanding cumulative effects and efficiently incurring differ?

This was the single scariest piece I've read in a while. The video is even worse. Especially Dr. Hardin from Massachusetts General Hospital at 5m:37sec in the video:

> I'm arguing for evidence-based medicine, which is something we all purported to agree with before the outbreak hit.

> We have large randomized controlled trials. The patients in those trials had met the same diagnostic criteria that are current patients meet. We should apply the results of the trials.

This is a new disease, the assumption that previous trials apply without even a bit of skepticism is fanatical.

Especially the keyboard focus got me, as I really like to use my keyboard to do as much as possible. It's far superior to the mouse unless you really need your mouse (for image manipulation for example). We are rebuilding our UI for Emvi [1] right now in the browser "keyboard first" and I must say this feels quite right. Of course you still need to support mouse and touch devices, but it's so much more fun to start out with a clear image of what you're trying to achieve. The handling is much faster. You can read about it here [2] if you're interested.

A small-scale NAS implies home usage, which again implies plenty of idle time. With plenty of idle time, the SMR drive should perform decent enough, as the drive has enough time to shuffle stuff between the persistent cache region and the SMR region.

Hi folks, I'm Michael DeHaan, and you may remember me from making Ansible.

I know there are a lot of doc frameworks out there but I wanted an easier one, one that allowed me to use HTML and template things with Jinja2, but mostly stay out of my way.

This one requires no RST, no Markdown, and still supports custom themes. Syntax highlighting with Prism.js is built in, and accessed with some Jinja2 macros.

I have at least two projects to write docs for using RockChisel in the next few months, so this is going to get a lot of use. Definitely could use some CSS help, new ideas, and all of that, so if you are interested, stop by the community page on the docs for how to get involved.
A lot of software is vastly less complex than VScode so getting acceptable performance is less complex. What Microsoft does is typically an edge case...or an Edge case in Microsoft's case considering the switch to Chromium based web browser probably meant that level of work was going to happen anyway.

A few thoughts:

1) There is no such thing as privacy anymore, at least with respect to anything electronic. I know this because I wanted to be the head of a large online community (I worked on a program which I hoped would become the next Facebook), and I studied everything I could about security/privacy that I could for many years.

2) It would be better, far better, if, when users signed up on Twitter (or any other online service for that matter) if there was a big screen which comes up, with big letters, and says "Everything you say could potentially be taken out of context, could potentially be used against you in Court, and/or could potentially be spun on the News Media or by other people in such a way so as to destroy your reputation, livelihood, and potentially your life." This would be honest, ethical, up-front. "Forewarned is forearmed", as they say...

3) When Jack Dorsey filed his articles of incorporation, for his company (which Venture Capitalists require, and for good reason, if they didn't, they wouldn't be able to sue if/when the founder skips town on them!), but when he did this, he made a legally binding CONTRACT with the Government. Oh sure, it may have been a State government, but let's remember the Supremacy Clause in the Constitution (the Constitution is also a CONTRACT, incidentally...). But once you do this, even though you might not be liable financially on a personal level for your company, you have basically set yourself up to be REGULATED, REGULATED, REGULATED, by the Government and its in-no-shortage-of-supply Lawyers... (Regulated is another fun word for "they're going to tell you what to do" <g>).

(Now, I'm not saying that's a bad thing... historically that regulation created some major wins for society, case in point, the meat packing industry, many many years ago, when proper sanitary conditions were not followed, and there are many other examples of this).

But the thing is, this Judge is making his decision based on that CONTRACT (the contract is the tip of the iceberg, by the way, it basically makes the company accept ALL of the thousands of miles of statutory U.S. code, it's sort a lead-in to that).

So, based on what I know about U.S. Law -- the Judge is probably, probably not wrong, but remember, he's making his decision based on

a) The CONTRACT, aka "Articles Of Incorporation".

b) The miles and miles of State, Federal, Statutory Code and Agency Code (since federal agencies are quasi-law creating entities) that the said CONTRACT (a), forces the company to accept...

In other words:

c) Lawyers, not technologists, are running the show... <g>

And you wondered how "The Swamp" works... <g>

Hey, I think I remember some song lyrics (Depeche Mode, actually!):

They have problems being chucked out of pools when resilvering, ie. when added to the pool, so the general usage pattern isn't so much the issue as is the way the filesystem or RAID controller reacts to them. In particular I think people have had problems with ZFS because the resilvering process involves a lot of random writes, and once the PMR cache on the drive is full, it will stop responding as it flushes the cache for long enough for ZFS to think it's dead.
From the site's text:

> and plenty of Americans and Russian's willing to use whatever means necessary to ensure Trump gets re-elected

That is not what the Russian attacks are about.

In fact, the maker of the site seems to have fallen for the attacks himself.

The attacks are about dividing society. Radicalizing people towards the left and right. The "Trump haters" are just the same as the "Trump fanatics".

The author, by implying that the "bad guys" are just one site, is playing into the hands of the Russian trolls. Its exactly what the attacks are trying to achieve.
"I wish I could remember them..."

Tips for remembering dreams:

1 - Have a pad of paper and writing implement right next to your bed. I've actually switched to using a voice recorder, because it's way more convenient and I can talk much faster than I can write, so I really recommend it.

2 - Right before you go to sleep, consciously make the intention to remember your dreams and write them down when you wake up.

3 - Also, right before you go to sleep try to remember your day in reverse, starting from the last thing you did before bed on through your day to the first thing you did. The idea is to prime yourself for remembering what happened right before you awoke.

4 - When you wake up immediately write down (or record) what you remember. Even if the only thing you remember is a vague feeling, write it down. Getting in to the habit of recording your dreams will result in you remembering more of them over time.

5 - Restrict your body movement to the minimal possible after you wake up, until you've written down your dreams. I've noticed that even turning over from one side to another can make me forget a dream.

6 - If you have a long, detailed dream to write down, don't start writing it down in detail from start to finish. When I've done that I often forget the dream half-way through writing it down. Instead, start by writing down the highlights or key words or images from the dream, then go back and fill in the details.

7 - Get interested in dreams and read about them.

8 - Review the dreams you recorded and try to make sense of them. Try to figure out how they reflect your waking life, the people you know, and the concerns you have. Make connections between your dreams, and try to pick up on recurring patterns in them.

The more attention you give to your dreams and dreams in general the more likely you are to remember them. If your interest and attention fades and you don't care about them or are too busy for them and don't write them down, you'll remember less.

Having something interesting, notable, strange, exciting, or stressful happen to you also frequently results in vivid dreams, so it makes sense that an unusual, stressful, and terrifying event like the pandemic makes for vivid dreams.

I can't speak for the drives mentioned in this article, but the WD Red drives were de facto marketed as PMR since the Red line was marketed by WD as the best drives for NAS.

>They've conveniently mixed it in with "but terrorism!"

Alternatively they justify some actions with the war on drugs or fighting against pedophiles with: "think of the children".

If you promote strong encryption you might help drug dealers, pedophiles and terrorists.

There's also the preaching: "you shouldn't be worried of us spying if you have nothing to hide".
> Governments are comparatively hard to read.

Maybe in the moment, because the constraints they're fighting against are large and not easily understood except through hindsight, but history shows that adversarial governments are pretty rational as well. They seek to increase their dominance, natural resources, and manufacturing capability, amongst their peers, and over ever-larger numbers of people. Just like corporations, it's all self-serving turtles, all the way down.

This seems completely normal. Every small agency I know does this.
https://isbgpsafeyet.com/ is a bit misleading. They mention both IRR filtering and RPKI. Both of them are needed. RPKI currently only is used to validate the origin. When a peer only relies on RPKI, it is trivial to announce a route you are not authorized to announce: just append the legit ASN at the end of the AS path. That's what IRR filtering prevents.

Both are therefore useful. RPKI protects from mistake and mitigate a bit the ability to spoof a route (adding the legit ASN makes the AS path longer and less preferred).

I was replying to the quote about the browser asking where to download the file. By default you get that prompt you mention but it won't let you choose where, if you choose to download it goes without asking to the downloads folder unless you've changed that setting in the options page to always ask where. Chrome is definitely a worse offender, it does not even ask you to confirm the download.
There is a middle ground between those two extremes of course.

I'm not surprised at the mainframe's lack of success at all, the barriers to entry are extreme, meaning there's an inevitable lack of activity.
