The IBM of that era was literally inventing the modern computing systems. The complexity of the tasks at hand were essential, not incidental. I think the general trend of thought here is a critique of the latter day NIH syndrome and the consequent inflation of the technical teams.
Behavioral analytics tackles advanced threats
Advanced attacks can be carried out over months or even years, so security teams need to act quickly when a foe eventually does tip his hand. One way to do that is to deploy the powerful combination of user and entity behavioral analytics with endpoint monitoring, detection, and response.
>you run updatedb manually all the time and weep because that's not something instant, at all.

No, not instant, YMMV. On my mid-range laptop with SATA SSD:

$ time sudo updatedb

Wouldn't this quickly become a costly affair?

> I like that Vermont keeps trying, my internet should be like my water, sewer, and similar local services: a utility.

It is practically impossible to run multiple competing water and sewer pipes or other utilies. But there is no such problem with fiber. Or there could be public passive fiber operated by multiple competing ISPs.

Proper role of government is to actively encourage competition, not destroy market by subsidised public service. But it seems that US government instead actively discourage competition, which leads to bad commercial services, which leads to public preference for monopolistic government service, with all its problems well known from Europe past.
Can you share, what was the deciding factor against Racket?
I've tried Joplin but have stuck with standard notes for now.

Joplin is very good and has basic things like ctrl+f for finding withing a document that Standard Notes lack, but end to end encryption is baked in to SN where as it's somewhat trickier to set up in Joplin. Both are solid recommendations to check out though.
I've updated this. Still looks the same on all my devices but hopefully it's an improvement for others. Thanks, again, for the tip.
They're not, but there is lots of collaboration between BND and agencies who are.
I don't really see this as an improvement over the previous situation. It's just misleading in a different way. In fact, it's worse: as far as I could tell, the term "open source" was used sparingly, to the point where I wasn't going to make a fuss about it when I saw this. Now, the term "free and open", which is equally misleading, is used much more prominently than "open source" ever was.
I honestly would be less frustrated if their ads weren't so obnoxious and ugly. Animated ads in the middle of an article are the absolute worst.

One thing I realized that seq'ing too many things might be bad for performance. As I understand it,

foldr1 (\x y -> ((x `par` delay 1) `seq` y)) $ map pure [1..]

Would require more and more comparisons over time. Is there some sort of codensity like trick that you can do? Or is this something the user of the library would worry about if it came to that. Or just have a redundant API.
The people blocking ads are quite a large fraction at this point. Some smaller publications are shutting down completely because ad revenue has dried up. You may be right about how many people would bother to whitelist just because tracking has been removed, but I bet if they included that fact very prominently in their splash pop-up it would have a noticeable impact.

For me, at least, I actively feel guilty reading publications without ads. I don't want journalism to die. But I simply refuse to open myself up to malware and spying for the sake of that ideal. If they want to survive, they need to take responsibility for what they're shoveling into my browser. Otherwise I'll take my basic online safety into my own hands.
There used to be a service which allowed you to create virtual CC numbers. That way you could create a new number for each service. Just like some people create a new email address when they sign up online.

I now trust Walmart [jet.com] and Bestbuy more than Amazon. Walmart / Jet have made great strides in their online experience and I trust them more than Amazon now. I don't really care about the branding Jet or Walmart is fine.

And for my rant/last straw with Amazon: My most recent Amazon frustration: I ordered a Ryzen processor "shipped and sold by Amazon" and got an opened and obviously installed processor. Pins were bent. I have had a few other bad items like that in the last year. I just don't trust them any more.

I want actual single source suppliers that vet their suppliers and supplies. Microcenter is great for a small range of computing products, but you have to go to the store to pick many things up [at least you can see what you are getting and don't have to wait for weeks of turn around]. Amazon's current solution is just automated returns with no acknowledgement they did something really shady. Guess it is time to vote with my wallet.

In the short term, our goal is to build the best flight API for new travel businesses by making it way easier to get started and build a great customer experience.

We're also in a good position today to help existing travel sellers who want to access exclusive NDC content (mentioned in the article) that they can't get through a traditional GDS.

From there, the sky's the limit really. We'll be in a great position to help anyone who wants to sell flights - new entrant or existing seller.
I do exactly what you recommend.

My website, https://cyrialize.dev/, is hosted on Neocities. I used jekyll to create it and I use water.css which I found on CSS Bed (https://www.cssbed.com/). The Neocities gem is VERY useful.

- Make changes

- Commit & Push

- jekyll build

- neocities push _site/
Thankfully Vermont does not have as a significant homelessness issue like the Bay (can attest, born and raised in Vermont, currently in the Bay). It's less of an issue relative to getting widespread internet.
Well done! I would leave to read a blog post on this kind of work.
Surely changing a card number doesn't communicate your intent to unsubscribe from any service where you have an ongoing subscription. It prevents the bill payment, but doesn't stop the subscription and any costs associated.
Cannot second this hard enough. The best way to learn this stuff is to tinker, and the best way to get started tinkering is to do it at home.

> So even if poor developers improve by 1/3 while great developers are downgraded by 1, we're better off.

Ye... No. Note that your made-up productivity algebra model crumbles as soon as you stop seeing developers as code churning machine and instead as what they should be, problem solvers. That's because quantity is not the only metric by which you can measure problems. Complexity and ease are others. A dozen average problems do not necessarily equate a single hard one. Hard problems can prove elusive to average devs and they're usually where you see materialize the limitations of the thinking that a single great developer can simply be replaced with a dozen average ones. One such manifestation is commonly called "technical debt".
I agree, my go-to example of declarative programming is SQL

you say what you want, and the DB figures out how best to get it.
If we have the app already, it will still work right? Damn that's brutal.
This might come as something of a shock, but not everybody uses or wants to use Homebrew.
Looking at the first code sample, I wouldn't call it declarative at all. For me, the defining feature of declarative code, is that it doesn't have a list of actions to be performed one after another. That code sample is such a list of actions, which for me makes it imperative code, meaning "first do this, then do that, then do the other thing."

The "list of actions" approach is what makes code complexity grow exponentially, because whenever you look at a series of 10 instructions, you have to think "what state was created by the combination of the first 7 instructions, and does the eighth instruction depend on that state?"
Years ago I subscribed online to the physical NYT paper, and eventually after letting papers stack up I wanted to unsubscribe for a while. But after having to speak to a slippery trained retention specialist in order to do so… I instead decided to unsubscribe forever. So yeah, good job NYT.

That pattern is something I'd expect from Sirius XM or Lifetime Fitness, and the fact that they did it too was a little surprising.
I agree this is an important lesson. Not everyone is aware of it, or else people would obviously avoid pointless arguments and acting in futile ways.

Arguing for 5 minutes or 10 minutes can consume your whole day afterwards (in your own mind).
When you say something, be it bad or good, words will continue to resonate silently in her mind (and yours).

I also noticed when I'm working at something really important, or when I'm on an epiphany of discovering some glorious truth, I naturally don't mind any argument thrown at me. I'm just focused on that beautiful and exciting thought, and no external input could shake it out of my head.
I then realized how futile other person's worries and "sadness" are.

It's relativity: the wider your awareness (and the brighter your thoughts), the more shocking it is to see people "closed minded", prisoner of their own thoughts's limitation, and self-imposed grief.

Oddly, we keep going from one to the other. Sticking with mindfulness is hard.
I don't know if the NYT does this, but with some services, if you invalidate your card without formally canceling, they treat it as ever-increasing unpaid debt and eventually send you to collections, and then you've entered the hell world of aggressive debt collectors and potential damage to your credit.
The best excuse for buybacks are that they are "tax efficient" which is another way of saying they are about tax evasion. I don't care how you feel about tax rates, if you think corporations should pay less taxes lower the rates. We just did that in the US.

Less legitimate (but I would argue as common) reasons are to prevent excessive dilution from stock compensation plans and to prop up the value of shares tied to compensation packages. Studies show that companies buy shares when the price is high, so I doubt on the whole shareholders benefit. It feels good to see a stock go up, but dividends are nice too.

All the data was manipulated by including everyone that tested positive for covid as a covid death even if it was end stage kidney disease that killed them. Then you have the data models showing death rate of 5-10% when in reality the death rate is 0.1 fifty to one hundred times less lethal. Journalists will be punished for thier fear mongering antiAmerican propaganda.
This silly (not silly) question could be one of the more interesting to discuss here. I'm sure lots of people think it's solved it because of their (limited) experience.

Targeted advertising from FB & Google have completely changed advertising industry client media planning and buying.
Broadcast TV will survive for above the line brand reinforcement for a few more years but if prospective customer viewers dwindle (beer consumers watching live sports via online streams instead of broadcast TV for example, this has already happened with pay per view) I don't see there is much else left for broadcast TV, especially as 'news' from these big media companies has never had such a poor reputation.

The other reality is that a 4k screen is no longer a 'TV', it is the viewing device for any number of inputs

This is one reason Iron Maiden sounds so cool, because they have lots of harmonized guitar parts played by multiple guitarists. (loads of other bands too, but Iron Maiden is especially well known for this.) OTOH, so called "power chords" (root + 5th, or root + 4th) also sound pretty cool because of the "intermodulation" distortion. But it's true that "overly complicated" chords can be a tough listen with heavy amounts of distortion.
These things aren't inentionally done to generate click revenue at any major outlet.
The problem is that the concept of free speech cannot be independent of the concept of power. Rules and Laws are only as good as the people in power choose; we've been lucky in many ways that most of the time, the people in power choose to behave in a way that upholds the laws that we consider important. However, that "good will" is specifically what malicious actors exploit in order to achieve that power and then violate the same rules that allowed them to spread their message and come to power.

And unfortunately, once they have power, there is very little that normal people can do to ensure that they will obey by the rules that got them there (i.e. free speech). I would argue that there was no way to prevent the Nazis from squashing free speech except by preventing them from coming to power - and this is true with many malicious actors. Unfortunately, that means we have to balance the need for free speech with the need to prevent malicious groups from coming to power.

Ergo, the Paradox of Tolerance.
If it isn't going to be banned, how about just making it opt-in?
Print ads are so much better than online ads though.
- Print ads generally don't break reading lines as most of them are generally between articles or between pages
- Print ads don't move.

There are multiple moving ads in between paras of a long form online articles which is a much worse experience than reading the same article in print.

How to set performance benchmarks for your company?
Another anecdote. I had a EU Lufthansa flight that was cancelled a few hours before departure. That's 600 euros compensation no questions asked, in theory. When transfering the compensation, there was some kind of hiccup with the banks and it didn't arrive. It took me more than 6 months and more than 30 emails with customer service to get the compensation resent. 90% of the replies were "accounting says funds were sent; not our problem". Ended up using EU's out-of-court customer resolution system (recommended): I think that's what caused them to finally react.
The model in Corosim is almost entirely the same as Goh's model in Epidemic Calculator. We made a lot of changes to the GUI, mostly motivated by a desire to answer practical questions related to the epidemic we have (as opposed to theoretical questions related to a theoretical epidemic). Have you checked the text under "Differences between Epidemic Calculator and Corosim"?

I'd be happy to answer any questions you have if you want to narrow down the scope a little bit. Like, maybe you are wondering why x axis zoom was changed, or maybe you are wondering why we removed "severe at home" state from the model? Or maybe you looked at the code and you want to discuss the extensive refactoring that we did?
Two Attack Scenarios That Will Defeat Your DIY iOS App Protection
There was a real cost to printing single newspaper to me. I've no idea what it was, or is now, but it's about a million times more than the cost of me reading every new story on the NY Times website today. Maybe not a million times, but it's certainly much higher.

So while I do agree newspapers have always been ads with some news thrown in there to get people to look at the paper, there were some much higher costs there in the paper part of the newspaper (and printers and delivery people and so on). In theory the cost of how I read "the paper" now should be much lower, so if I pay to subscribe to the website maybe there shouldn't be ANY ads? Or far fewer?

I guess my thinking is nytimes.com isn't the same thing as The NY Times I get delivered to my house, so maybe things like ads should be treated in a different way? Sure the people that make it and reporters and news and all that are the same, but how I consume the actual thing is significantly different and has a different cost model.

Plus those print ads were/are WAY different in so many ways.
Software help for your crazy uncle
We all know what it’s like to be the “software guru” among our friends and family. However, sometimes it becomes too much, and not because of a lack of caring or a lack of skills, but in the sense that it is just not an interesting problem.

For example, your local pub or coffee shop owner sees that you work on a computer all day and just flat out asks you one day “Do you know of any open source POS systems?” And you begin thinking to yourself “No - I really don’t. I wonder if there is a good one? One that was completely customizable and just had a gorgeous UI. I mean it seems unlikely, but Bitcoin is a thing, right?"

So you begin to research with the owner, but you’ve made a fatal error: you picked an open-source POS system for him. Not only did he trust you completely, but now you're his in-house tech support.

Uh oh. What have you done...

Enter, me... Truthfully, for some odd reason, I like figuring out bad UIs and helping owners. I get bored with it just like the next guy, but most of the time it’s good fun... So since I’m doing this whole startup thing I thought that I would use my product to offer this service.

Have your local pub owners or crazy uncles text me at +1 (334) 459-9901 and I’ll help them with Software stuff!

Are you referring to Kinetic Bombardment?[0]

Since kinetic energy increases with the square of velocity, if you can create a payload that can travel at hypersonic speeds (like a tungsten rod) without burning up then the amount of kinetic energy is in the tens of millions of joules. That's enough to destroy any single target, but doesn't have nearly the same destructive power as a nuke, which releases trillions of joules of energy.

That's really the key a lot of development orgs miss. You have to actually break down the work into smaller pieces and track progress on those pieces. "This feature will take 3 months to do. I will start now and three months later, a working feature will pop out of the black box." - will give most Project Managers a heart attack. "This feature will take 3 months to do. I'll take a few days to break it down into approximately 1-week sized milestones and throughout development we can talk about progress vs. those milestones." - ahhh, that's much better!
