This is not about "code golfing", the "sort|uniq -c|sort" combo is in the hall of fame of great code lines. The PATH thing in my script was an unnecessary distractor, consider this:

file -b /bin/* /usr/bin/* |cut -d' ' -f-2|sort|uniq -c|sort -n

There are no bizarre escapes nor anything. Besides, the "file" program is called only once. The python equivalent that you wrote may be better if you want to store it somewhere, but it takes a lot to type, and it serves a different purpose. The shell line is something that you write once and run it because it falls naturally from your fingers. Moreover, you can run it everywhere, as it works in bash, zsh, pdksh and any old shell. The python version requires an appropriate python version installed (3 not 2).

More like 1/50th the cost. A Falcon 9 launch sells for a range of $50M to $90M depending upon extras/expend ability, but a reusable launch likely costs less than $30M.

Total cost of Space Shuttle program (in 2000 cost mind you) was $200B for 134 launches, or $1.5B each.

And an expendable Falcon launch actually can put nearly as much payload into LEO by weight as the Shuttle, and costs around $45M (priced $63M).

There is a huge difference now. Maybe 50% of that difference could be made up by what Java has in the planning stage.

Even if it was 100%, I'm writing code right now.
There has been no better example of this mindset recently than the development of the StopCovid app. It makes no sense on a number of levels, but there are so many government officials pushing it in the name of “la souveraineté de l’État sur la santé”.
I'm not sure what I'm saying, to be honest.

However I am definitely sure that the statistics show that the highest paid professions in this country require lots of licensing and schooling, which carry non-zero costs for obtaining.

Software engineering does not exhibit this same behavior, or at least if it does, it is orders of magnitude less. I don't see many blog posts on how to do appendix surgery, for example.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepa... Another incident
There's two ways to think about this problem: routes advertised and routes received.

Received:
So for the most part people implement zero or just minimal filters on routes received from peers. They might drop a set of ASNs they consider large that would be indicative of a leak. Some may go the extra distance and even do IRR filtering. But for the most part people are fairly permissive in what they accept from peers

Advertised:
Here's the catch. You announce routes to HE and they're propagating it to networks you don't anticipate. This pulls in traffic from other HE peers you weren't expecting. You don't really have much controls here. You can try to prepend but remember it's the other leaked peers of HE that will generally set a better local pref to HE (by virtue of being a peer) so your prepends won't do anything.

Signaling is synonymous with social proof in this context.

> Germany uses a decentralized system where the federal government and state government allocate budget to schools with some small additional contributions by local districts. Apparently 80% of the budget is spent on salaries. In 2016 the total education spending was 7100 Euros per student per year. This system seems to work quite well.

This is not dissimilar to how the system works in the US. Here is the spending for my state: https://conduitstreet.mdcounties.org/2019/02/20/funding-per-...

Depending on the county, 20-60% of the funding comes from federal and state levels, with lower income areas receiving more support from the federal and state government. Also, the spending in Baltimore, a very low income city where there was riots a few years ago after a police brutality incident, is double the 7,100 euros you mention above.
Super great and really really good place to learn coding!

Nope, only some parts of SRBs were reused to make new SRBs. That 200 MPH collision and saltwater damaged them too much.

Docker is the old hammer. The new one is called podman.
My apartment building in Berlin doesn't even have dedicated bathrooms. The shower is in the kitchen. They used to be workers dorms which were converted. They previously had communal facilities and they had to squeeze these in where ever they could when converting. There is on street parking. Really I think the next step isn't EVs but kicking cars out of the neighbourhood altogther. We don't need them. They are mostly used for ego not transport it seems.
Most petrol stations are on their way out imho. Charging at petrol stations is just a stop-gap measure until curbside charging is widely available. Cars spend 23 hours a day parked. Making a 2kW charger available at most parking spots would eliminate the need for fast charging except for long distance travel.
It’s how all new processes in Unix are created. There is no “spawn new process running this code” operation. Instead:

(1) you duplicate yourself with fork()

(2) the parent process continues about its business

(3) the created process calls execve() to become something else

This is the mechanism by which all new processes are created, from init (process 1) to anything you run from your shell.

Real life examples here, in this example of a Unix shell:

No, we should cover the retraction. And we are, that's what the linked article is. I genuinely don't understand the need on some people's part to impart an "agenda" here.

The president of the united states made this front page news by boosting the drug in a context where there was minimal evidence that it helped. That's newsworthy. It just is. The same principle that gets his statements on the front page gets refutations there too. It's news if he's right. It's news if he's wrong.

I mean... what would your preferred action be? Not cover newsworthy science? Not cover the statements of the president? Or do you just not want them to cover stuff you personally disagree with?

In reality: they covered the president, they covered the result, and they covered the retraction. All with pretty solid reach, frankly. We're literally yelling about it right now.

Pasokon has been reborrowed by anime fans to refer to person-shaped personal computers, such as the androids seen in Chobits. Not a huge semantic drift, really.

The more interesting part of Japanese portmanteaus is the use of the first two mora from each word, where English speakers would try to fit head to tail, like “persoputer” or something. But I guess in an agglutinative language, the end of a word is a much fuzzier concept.

Do you have any evidence, even circumstantial that points to Biden getting his son on that board?

Seems a lot more likely that the board recruited the son to the board hoping it would provide political cover. Which it also does not appear to have worked since Biden requested the dismissal of the AG that had already closed investigations into Barisma.

I can say from experience that moving content to a different domain without breaking things for users can be atrociously difficult. So if you make a mistake in how you split domains in the beginning, it can be very expensive to rectify later. Can you imagine going to all your customers and saying "you know all those links you have to example.com? You're going to have to change all of them to point to example.org now."

They _should_ split their domains, and given this recent issue, it would make sense for them to prioritize that. But, well, easier said than done.

IIRC the doses used as an antiviral are quite a big higher than those for an immunosuppressor. Everyone is piling on, but in fact the drug was known to have side effects from decades of use, and the hypothesis that it would hurt more than it helps was absolutely not unfounded. It was wrong (or at least, still unsupported), but it wasn't insane.

You're asserting that the crash happened (came to an end) and we're in recovery now.

Are they conflating domain registrars and DNS hosting? Did Google Domains block their domain at the registry level, like removing the NS records from roots? Or did they block is at the domain DNS level, like not resolving queries to Google nameservers for the domain?

I don't expect many startups or big companies use Google Domains for DNS hosting. AWS Route 53, Google Cloud DNS, or dedicated DNS hosting would be used for that. But I expect it is fairly common for startups to use Google Domains for domain registration.

I disagree that municipalities would have much of a choice. Right now, a municipality is theoretically liable for every officer's actions, and could contractually share some of that liability onto the officers themselves. Yet they do not, presumably because the police unions do not allow it, and the system as a whole is great at shirking all liability for its misdeeds. Getting rid of QI does change the default option, but I would assume the unions would use the same negotiation techniques to get indemnification clauses.
Or, perhaps, much less magical non-genetic factors like more likely being brought up with less access to higher-quality education, nutrition, stability, and safety.

Here’s an article from the institution whose graph you reference about why this gap exists - https://www.brookings.edu/articles/unequal-opportunity-race-... - which explains that many of the differences in education available. Black children are more likely to go to schools that have less funding, offer fewer advanced classes, have more students in them, and have lower-qualified teachers. And experiments that involved children going to better schools showed they had better outcomes.

So, yeah, let’s control for things we actually know affects these outcomes first before jumping to genetic factors.
I had a very interesting sequence of exchanges in MBONE about this problem, in the 1990s.

The problem was the use of colour in distributed editing systems like Van Jacobsens 'whiteboard'

(it was an exemplar tool we used in the Internet multicasting activity then)

and their projection of color values into greyscale monitors (a class of terminal which probably doesn't exist any more but at the time, there was a distinction between pixel quality and size and density in greyscale and colour. greyscale was finer but limited to .. shades of black and white)

We discussed perceptual colour differences, mapping into grey, the loss of information. Choosing a sequence of colours which were distinct but formed grey tones which were also distinct is .. hard.
"Killdozer!" is a Theodore Sturgeon short story published in November 1944. That's what I thought this link would be about, and was therefore confused for the first paragraph.

Instead, this link is about Marvin John Heemeyer who went on a rampage with a modified bulldozer then committed suicide. The bulldozer garnered the nickname "Killdozer" after the aforementioned Sturgeon story.

I guess it's increasingly commonplace these days to link to Wikipedia entries via a description of what piqued the submitter's interest, rather than the actual title, which in this case is "Marvin Heemeyer". But it's rather annoying to this mislead reader.
Exactly. I think the goal was to formalize and codify mathematics. They didn't publish any original papers.

why on earth would GitBook be hosting user-generated content under their corporate gitbook.com domain?

You mean like news.ycombinator.com, nytimes.com, facebook.com or most blogs or forums ever created?

Also their entire business is serving user domains so if that goes down customers don't care about their marketing site, though the email vanishing would be annoying. What's to stop google doing this with any regular domain with user comments or content though?

I blame the registrar - having heard this horror story I'd never host with google domains.

IANAL either, and also I only read that PDF for a minute, but: maybe the Apple firmware running on the motherboard, a T2 chip etc, can satisfy the requirement that it is a computer "already running the Apple Software", even with Linux as the host OS. I think "the Apple Software" carries broad meaning in that agreement (and not very exclusive in its definition), e.g. clause 1: "The Apple software (including Boot ROM code)"... ?

> Does it really make it less of a problem if they had a separate domain for corporate and it was only the user content going down? Serving user content can as well be part of a service’s core product and registrar induced downtime is a big enough problem.

Yes, it really does. Not losing your ability to receive email will help resolve the problem.

> Serving user content can as well be part of a service’s core product and registrar induced downtime is a big enough problem.

If that is the case, then choosing a registrar that provides quality, timely and responsive support when dealing abusive content complaints should be on the top of your priorities.

> Building and running anti-abuse tech works in proportion to the money put in. Can a small player really compete with Google’s anti-abuse investments?

In this case the small company did find the content first through their own anti-abuse systems.

I'm not sure how this become anti-competitive. Google may have a monopoly on many things, but DNS registry is definitely not one of them.
