May I ask what book would you rather recommend?

While I do think that Bob goes overboard with his suggestions in Clean Code, I found it as a necessary counterbalance to encourage readable code in my team, where the methods tends to be gigantic blobs. I'm sure there are better books, but it was a good one.

For instance, one suggestion I did like from Clean Code is to separate exception handling from business logic. I don't always practice it, but it really helped in making my work-related code more readable.
Some limited sanctions?
But it is. It’s called a race to the bottom. While it’s a normal price setting function of free markets that doesn’t mean its rational.
Good move, FSF. Do they have other similar offerings? A chat service, say?
I really like your observation about memory.

Because you seem open minded to wild ass guesses and going meta:

I have a hunch that general intelligence will be the ability to learn from mistakes. Not just optimization. I mean applying the scientific method.

Hypothesis, prediction, run experiment, compare expected vs actual. And having a notion, any notion, to explain the delta between expected and actual.

Am total noob about AI, philosophy, cognition. Don't know if anyone else is framing AGI this way. I could just be repeating something I heard.
That is sad and wish it could be a joke. But there are days I think the same... today I cannot not even run zsnes without problems on most of distros (Arch/Ubuntu/Etc). Linux backward compatibility it's so terrible.

I hope it's not a defeatist question? Certainly things could be done.
404s aren't a technical problem, they are a maintenance problem. If there was time, budget or interest to fix it, the 404 wouldn't have existed in the first place.

Doesn't that assume that all things on the internet are permanent? Why should that be the case? If I have a page on my website and I decide to delete it then I should be able to do that. Having links that pointed to it return a 404 is correct. 404s are useful. They convey real information.

Sites that do things like 302 redirection to the home page when the link is apparently incorrect are annoying - you can never tell if the page is really gone or if the website has incorrectly bounced you to the home page.
Not a dumb question at all -- that's actually fairly controversial.

Many licenses are offered as part of a contract. But in _most_ jurisdictions (albeit not the one I'm standing in, which is Scotland) in order to have a contract one must have both a meeting of the minds and consideration. Many Free licenses don't have either. So they rely on copyright law: you don't have to agree to the license terms. If all you're doing is stuff that's allowed under law, you're fine. If you want to do something beyond that, you need permission and the license is what supplies permissions.

This is also where the "viral" nature of GPL licenses has its controversy: if the license is a contract, then you've agreed specific actions to take in order to be able to derive from the source. So (while it's not likely) a court could compel specific performance of that action, forcing you to release your code under the GPL (viral!). If it's not a contract, then by not agreeing to the terms you may have breached copyright, but there's no mechanism for anyone to _force_ you to do anything except stop breaching copyright. So no possibility that you will be required to release your source.

So you may be better off thinking of the license as a thing that may be bought or sold using a contract, but is itself not a contract. Proprietary software will often be bought or sold like this: you're not buying _the software_, you're buying _a license to use the software_. Where Free software licenses are often (but not always!) available for free.

But some licenses start looking like they stretch beyond the realm of pure copyright licenses, and that's where the controversy picks up again.
They all suck lol

Where you see cleverness, I see unethical behavior (Google hijacking) linked with powerful knowledge.

Instead of using their knowledge and skills for good, they are exploiting loopholes in technology to take a slice of others' businesses that were built with real hustle and determination.

I wouldn’t characterize it as a move by tech bros. At the time of its rise it was espoused mainly by tech hipster management. Bros kind of walked into this.

But yes, it’s hard to believe that young grads and wide eyed dreamers actually got excited by open offices. I think it harkens back to the idea of utopia. That people in coöperative working groups will help all the others and we’ll become a grand communal success....
It is definitely possible to get it up and running, but there's often problems due to entire ranges having bad reputation. There was a gigantic thread about it in the Mailop mailing list last year. If you have access to it's archives then it's definitely a worthwhile read (and entertaining too!).
The authorized_keys file will not change.

ssh-rsa as a key format will stay (it isn't specific to sha1 or sha2), just the client and server need to upgrade to sign/verify session-specific signatures using sha256 instead of sha1. rsasign(sha1(sessiondata)) becomes rsasign(sha256(sessiondata)).

OpenSSH CA certificates are more urgent to upgrade since those are/were long lived sha1 signatures - sha1 there got disabled a couple of releases ago I think.

The article seems bit sensational and lacking understanding.
Not really interesting. That's from the pre-BOSCH direct injection area. Modern diesel engines are far more efficient than that.
> Linux is not winning on mobile in any shape or form. All mobile vendors use a highly-customized Linux kernel which has nothing to do with mainline

That's not a "Linux on mobile" problem; it's a "Linux on anything embedded" problem, and steps are being taken to address it. You can run a close-to-mainline kernel already on some devices, it's just not the default. And work is ongoing to also port common non-mobile Linux userland setups to mobile, so that the same stack will eventually be useful for both. A lot of non-trivial work is involved.
Thank you for this. I wouldn't have known to even look. Now I wonder if there are TLD and registrar auditing and rating surveys.
Where did you read that? There is nothing as such mentioned in any ancient Indian text. Nor does anyone in India today believe in something like this.
Makes me think of "Enterprise plans" or "support" with "custom" pricing. Perhaps a third option in your pricing to target businesses in addition to developers? I imagine consulting is a way to gradually develop a better product. 29$ per month probably won't cover costs for long...
In an ideal world, a page that stopped existing for a reason would be replaced by some text about that reason, not a generic "there's nothing here".
What bank would pay close to a FAANG? Goldman is the only one that I think could come close at the junior levels, but once you reach senior or above, I doubt any can.

Maybe for some elite (and pretty rare) roles in niches like algo trading, but I doubt the typical bank developer job pays as well as FAANG or other top tier tech companies.

Some elite hedge funds or prop trading shops could match or even vastly exceed FAANG comp, but then again, those jobs are both pretty rare, and their interviews can be difficult enough to make FAANG interviews look easy.

Feedback for the OP: I didn't understand how this works, and am reluctant to start a bot just to figure it out. It would be helpful if you could add some screenshots showing how email address creation, deletion and email receipt work (please do not use GIFs, just a set of static images are enough).

Tangentially on Telegram bots, one of the things I dislike with privacy on Telegram is that the user ID (an internal Telegram generated number, not to be confused with your chosen username) given to bots is static. It's not an ID per bot and there's no way to change the ID without deleting your Telegram account and creating it again later (I'm not sure if it changes then either). Bots can also see and save your name (as entered on the profile) on Telegram. This makes it easier for bots (or bot swarms) to track users on Telegram. (AFAIK, Telegram bots don't get the phone number of the user; it'd be terrible if they did).
Also BTW, I joined Fish yesterday. Today I went to login and I couldn't. My password/email was definitely correct. So I tried resetting. When adding a new password the error message kept telling me that my new passwords didn't match.

I used a special character (&) in my password. I removed the ampersand and was able to reset password, and log back in.

Sorry if this isn't the correct channel for bugs (feel free to redirect me).

Cheers.
Thanks bauerd! I spent more time changing landing page more than I'd prefer to, but glad to hear it was worth the effort.

If you run MongoDB on server (example AWS or DigitalOcean) you can easily connect to it with MongoDB connection string.

It's advised to run on separate server as MongoDB takes up a considerable amount of RAM and it's never a good idea to run your database service on the same server instance as your production services. I run mine on AWS lightsail for $3,5/month for now.

Will look into adding on-premise, if this gets any traction.
Too soon! I’m currently debugging an issue where a USB 3.2 Gen 2 scientific camera is unable to negotiate a connection with Linux. Under closer inspection it seems the USB 3.2 Gen 2 port on this relatively modern Intel NUC is being identified by the kernel as being USB 2.0. No such issues under Windows; but we’re not deploying that to the field.

So I go a bit deeper: the chip is actually a thunderbolt chip (aka USB 4.0), which is able to emulate all of the USB specs. For reasons unknown, the two controller chips on this NUC present as four controller chips; each chip presents as one USB 2 root hub and one 3 root hub. One of the chips is only available via an internal header on the board. All of the externally available USB ports (3x USB 3 ports, 1x USB 2 port, 1x Thunderbolt port) all result in connectivity to the USB 2 root hub.

Every fiber in my being wants to work out wtf is happening here; but I’m resisting because fortunately we have a vendor that can replace this NUC with one from 2016 instead of this one from 2018.

I did, of course, peek at the spec and experienced the bone-shuddering realization of how complex this whole system is. No wonder Windows BSODd when Gates first demoed USB on stage ...
This is right - 404 pages are the right UX when you have a 'stateful' resource that can be deleted, and you need to show that the URL (or ID param within) is correct, and once pointed to a resource, but now that resource has been permanently deleted and can't be shown any more.

In a sense this information conveyed by the 404 page is now the immutable 'resource' that will stay permanently at that URL. Doing a redirect breaks this, it's lossy and usually a bad UX.

They point your parent poster is making is that these companies instead choose to shut the website down, which is a legitimate alternative to updating and securing it -- unlike just leaving it up without maintenance, which is not.
Systems have to continue to run and to interface with other systems (that shift over time). There isn't an option to never do a HTTPS request or never compile anything.

Should clarify that the end-of-life schedule is coinciding for many platforms: RHEL 5 and RHEL 6, java 7 + 8, windows server 2008 + 2012, python 2.

I don't think it's possible for RHEL 5 upgrade to not be an emergency priority at this stage. It's not able to run or to communicate with much of anything else (all platforms dropping SSL is one issue for example). What is the company gonna do when they can't curl and ssh between systems anymore?

On a smaller scale, that reminds me of the clock at Wells Cathedral (https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co1347/...) for 1392. The Cathedral is a great example of its kind, but for me the clock was a lot more interesting. Although that might be bacause I've been to dozens of medieval cathedrals so they do kind of blur into one.

Telegram is such an underappreciated platform. It has many features other platforms lack, is reasonably privacy-friendly, more so than fb/whatsapp/etc, but not enough to sacrifice features or UX. The have an API ind both official and unofficial clients for almost all platforms, including command line and native, non-electron Windows (UWP). The client API is not easy to use, as crypto and similar features are involved, but C libraries exist. On the other hand, the bot API is one of the most pleasant APIs I've ever seen. It just works, can be tested in the browser, there's no oAuth crap one needs to set up. It's beautifully simple. I use Telegram whenever I can, and it has become my goto Messenger these days.
Can't tell if it's human or GPT-2 tbh, the sentences are 'hard' to understand... like sort of un-naturally written, or translated from a foreign language using google translate or something.
It's definitely an alternative to text-based browsers if you need something dead simple. And it's fast enough to run on an old 486 if needed.
It's the Puerto Rican people themselves that are balking at the idea of "full citizenship" though.

> Instead of giving this one company $2.6 billion, the investors could have invested $100k in 26k different startups.

This already happens, its called angel or accelerator funding. YC gives $150K to 200+ company every year. Some of these companies then raise more, then some more.

For founder with successful exits or other outstanding achievement, they can effectively start with series C and raise 50 million as the first round.

Thereafter everyone wants to bet on the winning horse.

[Round 19] TechEmpower Framework Benchmarks
I spun up an Android project 2 days ago and it took me much longer. I already had IntelliJ installed. So I had to answer all the prompts about API level and emulator settings, but then gradle completely failed. It took me an hour to research and fix it - it turns out recent versions of Java (>9) spit out their version in a different format. Ultimately the solution was to configure IntelliJ to use an older java to run gradle.

The cool thing about the browser is that you don't need other tools. In a sense, the browser has a build step - when the root html file is loaded, it's sub resources are loaded as late as possible, and combined! If you really need more control over this "build" process, you can acquire programmatic control using XHR. What's even cooler is that you can dig into at ANY browser program at runtime! Can you do that on Android or iOS without specialized tools?

I work at an investment bank as a senior SWE. I'd take a paycut to work at a FAANG or other upper-mid to top tech company. In fact, I'd be ecstatic to join such a company as a junior or mid engineer - and the paycut (if there would be any at all) would probably be very minor. Meanwhile the long term benefits (monetary, skill, and career) would probably be far superior.

> > Does this mean I cannot use openssl in my gpl-2.0-only program?

> Correct.

Wait, I've tried to do some more reading and there are some things I do not understand:

1. I've done quick search over pacman database, and there are lot of packages that are either gpl or gpl2 that link against openssl. Does that mean that archlinux should be in deep legal trouble and it needs to drop few hundred packages (including coreutils, libgit2, kmod and others). Hell, even git itself links again openssl and that is gpl-2.0-only project. Does this make git illegal?

2. Are the "legal issues" comming from gpl-2.0-only side or from the openssl side? If from the gpl-2.0-only side, cannot I just add linking exception to the license to explicitely allow linking to openssl?

> If I'm not mistaken the underlying transport protocol

Some quick usage of Wikipedia suggest that you are, sadly, mistaken. ADAT lightpipe seems to use a completely different protocol (more capable?), and while S/PDIF and AES/EBU use quite similar protocols, they differ in impedance and max and min voltages, so I'm guessing that directly electrically connecting the two controllers is a bad idea for both the controller and the data.

Because language is being treated as a thing complete in itself, as opposed to being related to an external world?

One of the issues in the 'Limitations' section was a difficulty with "common-sense physics", such as with the question "if I put cheese into the fridge, will it melt?"

To answer that question, you have to ask the right questions, such as "what is a fridge?" "what is a fridge for?" "What does it mean for cheese to melt?" "what is the cause of cheese melting?" Then one should consider the follow-on questions, such as "what are typical fridge temperatures?" "what are typical cheese melting points?" "what temperature is the cheese likely to be at initially?" (at which point, it helps to introduce the concept of room temperature, and note that it typically falls between the other two.) From facts such as the answers to these questions, one can deduce the probable outcome of putting cheese in a refrigerator, but none of the answers so far explicitly state it.

Is it plausible that any learning, solely from the structure of and correlations between examples of language use, could develop the sort of analytical/modeling approach that I have just outlined? Instinctively, I don't find it very plausible, but I am not very certain in that view.
