No reasonable implementation of encrypted SNI has been proposed or standardized. Those middleboxes are still more than useful

AFAIK in QUIC there is some light obfuscation of the ClientHello, but it is not intended to be an anti-filtering measure, middleboxes can still fish out any presented name with a little bit of new code
Does anyone here know of any algorithms that can establish the genealogy of a text? I know about plagiarism detectors, but they can only find verbatim plagiarism. Are there any tools that can quantify structural plagiarism. In this article, I suggested some ways to do that, but I don't know if these methods are already in existence.
Apache still runs some really big websites that likely have more requests than many of these startups. Ticketmaster has used Apache for almost 15 years as their primary webserver (but they're fronted by layers of varnish / Akamai). They also maxed out dual 10G links with web traffic in 2007 or so when I worked for them.

That said, netcraft says Apache still runs almost 25% of the internet, which is no small stake: https://news.netcraft.com/archives/category/web-server-surve...

According to Mauna Loa, CO2 was 417 ppm in May, 2.4ppm higher than peak of 2019. The rise has occurred irrespective of
the global economy shutdown. Air travel grounded. Factories closed and huge numbers of cars off the road.

Keeling at the Scripps Institute has said “People may be surprised to hear that the response to the coronavirus outbreak hasn’t done more to influence CO2 levels,”. Seems that any reduction in CO2 levels is pretty much impossible to distinguish from natural variability.
So what's next? A permanent shutdown?

So this paper proves
nothing about whether wearing mask is really meaningful or not in the first place. It is just assumed so.

That's why longterm projects like a manned mission to Mars, or converting to all-electric vehicles should be government led.
There's also lots of clever tricks to make things more linear.

There's things like linear approximations. Or, my favourite, picking a clever semi-ring in which your problem is linear.

See eg the analysis of Google's BBR TCP variant. Eg https://labs.xjtudlc.com/labs/wldmt1/papers/Traffic%20manage...

Or 'Linear regression over the max-plus semiring:algorithms and applications' (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1712.03499.pdf)

I agree with that. Yes some persons and young people now live completely connected in a kind of parallel world of social networks, but depending where you live it's a small minority. The physical world and human interactions in it haven't changed, and lot of interesting things still happen offline.
>project('tutorial', 'c')
>gtkdep = dependency('gtk+-3.0')
>executable('demo', 'main.c', dependencies : gtkdep)

This is a snippet from meson tutorial, and that’s why I’m still using make (and not cmake) in all my personal C projects. I have no idea what flags will be passed to gcc and how to change them (-mmsbitfields was required on windows for gtk). Second, I may have no pkg-config environment when I link windows executable against msys2-installed libs in plain cmd. These shorthands may be a long-term win for a regular project in strict unixlike or msvc-env.bat, but it is not a build system. It is a fixed recipe book (as seen from the tutorial page, don’t take it as a criticism). It substitutes a simple knowledge on -I, -L and -l with a cryptic set of directives. You spoke gcc very good, now you have to speak meson’s local dialect and be able to catch and fix subtle errors in translation.

The problem is, one has to investigate into seemingly-easy build system to tune it to their needs. It is much harder than just fixing CFLAGS+= or LDFLAGS+= in a Makefile.

For me, a better build system would look like a set of rules, but not in a Makefile, but in a general-purpose language, like:

var all_srcs = qw('a.c b.c')
if_(files_changed(all_srcs)).do_(changed_srcs => {
changed_srcs.forEach(src => compile(src))
})
fn compile(src) {
exec('gcc', CFLAGS, '-o', to_o(src), src)
}

if_...

This simple process would cover 99% of common cases and you’re still in control of everything. Just prepend:

if (os == 'msys2') {
CFLAGS += ' ...'
}

And that’s it. It is a long-term usability, because you may open this file a year later and still figure out what needs to be done in few seconds.
40 years?

20 years ago in Poland I used to go and play in snow with my brother. Building snow forts etc. And that was well before Christmas.

Nowdays its a miracle if there is 'a snowfall' once before Xmas.

We might as well drop term 'White Christmas' in mainland Europe.

You are not a skeptic, just ignorant (I am well pass getting angry at people like you, since its pointless).
In a democracy, rules to elect an executive power (where you need one decisive direction within a framework) are obviously not the same as those to elect the controlling powers of this executive power -- among which parliaments, where you need a fair representation of all the citizens. That is ok.

I'm fine with a low barrier clause for keeping unorganized/low stakes ones out; that does not prevent proportionality in the final representation distribution though.

My point is that a system where a representative college does not reflect the full vote across the country has a deep design issue. See an earlier comment from someone: "it's a different kind of equality".

Nitpicking, the plural is eieren, with three distinct syllables :) IIRC, there used to both words with -er and -en as plural, but over time the norm became -en so it was tacked onto the -er. Like kind/kinderen. In German Kinder and Eier are still the plural.

> Capitalism isn't really a political system, even though people seem to elevate it to one.

“Capitalism” is not a full description of a national political system, but since it is fundamentally a system of legal property relations, it is exactly an aspect of a political system.

> For example, see social democratic systems in many parts of Europe.

Social democratic systems are not, even in the aspect of a political system which “capitalism” describes, purely capitalist but one of many forms of post-capitalist mixed-economy systems which retain elements of capitalist property relations but constrain them in various ways foreign to capitalism in the strict sense.

One of my coworkers met a guy on the bus the other morning who had been imprisoned in the mid 90s and was just released. (Assault charge plus drugs.) He hadn’t seen a smart phone in person yet and was astounded that you could look up bus schedules on it.

Besides the tech astonishment and the sheer length of the 25 year prison sentence (that’s tangential), it was a bit inhumane how they treated released prisoners. This guy had been released in downtown Austin at 3 in the morning after being bussed from Huntsville, Texas and processed at the courthouse. He had been given a Greyhound ticket to a El Paso Texas, and in order to not violate his probation he had to check in to a halfway house within 48 hours.

What he wasn’t given was any money for taxi, any information about where the greyhound stations were, any money for a cab ride, or any way of actually staying within the bounds of his probation, which involved avoiding being cited for minor misdemeanors like laying on a park bench to catch a nap after being thrown out into a city at 3am.

The guy was lucky he ran into some folks willing to buy him a transit ticket and tell him how to get to the greyhound station half a city away. Imagine how few people are that lucky.
And the gunslingers were overly romanticized for years and years in movies and only existed for a brief period. Also they died a lot.

Right, but its only been available in those two and AMS3, SIN1, SF2. So they cut 40% of the available options. And they only recommend using AMS3, so its possible the other are not far behind.

Seems concerning.
To summarize what was said during the press conference, and the prosecutorial logic:

* The conclusion is essentially based on the information available at the time of the murder, and witness testimony from that time. The early investigation was a huge parade of mistakes, and no conclusive technical evidence could be obtained. The only substantial evidence the police has is two bullets, and they're so damaged that the Swedish forensics experts are not confident they could be matched to a weapon.

* Engström, the suspect, is known to have been near the murder scene at the time, and he has been conclusively shown to have lied about his actions. Among other things, he claimed to have provided first aid to Olof Palme, and to have spoken to his wife, both of which are false. Engström has also changed his story or provided contradicting testimony on other things. The early assessment was that he enjoyed the attention and wanted to inflate his own importance.

* The other witnesses generally describe a fleeing suspect whose description matches Engström's. He himself provided another description. None of the other witnesses remember Engström being at the scene in the minutes after the murder, contrary to his own statements.

* Engström had shooting experience, and was good friends with a weapons collector who had a large amount of firearms, including the type used in the murder.

* Attempts to find a forensic link failed, including in the recent months. The possible murder weapon owned by Engström's friend was inconclusive. DNA swabs from Engström's family could not be matched to anything. The police appear to have no DNA of the murderer from the crime scene.

* While the above points would be enough to arrest Engström and likely to charge him, this would likely not be enough evidence at a trial. Most importantly, there's no hard evidence that Engström had a weapon on him that night.

Interestingly, today even the PM who took over after Palme said that even he had noticed the police incompetence within hours of the murder.

You could have a kid(assuming you're in that demographic). Then you'll be so short on time/energy that you can't possibly want to spend your evenings/weekends on moonshot coding projects. I'm being a bit facetious of course, but "engineers that cared nothing for the tech or the work" can also be interpreted as "mature engineers who have full/busy lives outside work and have learned the importance doing a solid weeks work moving the companies objectives forward and then dropping it to maintain their own mental health and avoid neglecting their families." I was talking about this yesterday with a coworker who said basically "Wow did my perspective on older workers who go home at 5:00 sharp change as soon as I had a kid." So just keep in mind that many of us have a radical and involuntary shift in our relationship with work/programming right around 30yo, in case you're approaching that transition.
> "This one seems like a compromise because tech has been infiltrated by the so called by the anglosphere "social justice warriors", lefting a trail of toxicity and destruction in communities that were building stuff and relationships just fine since the 90s."

This has nothing to do with "the anglosphere" -- take a good hard look at what's happening in France, or Scandinavia, or huge chunks of the Latin American world.

Really the only places where you don't see this are those places where there is active backsliding to dictatorship, e.g. Hungary, Russia, or China.
Far from it. It's quite likely going to be over 5 years if not a decade before it would be possible to run a pure-HTTP3 service without risking connectivity problems

The problem is similar to the IPv6 transition, except thanks to the browser monopolies, it's possible at least for network providers to quickly feel significant pressure to fix their networks. But there will always be some networks that will never be fixed

edit: for those inexplicably downvoting this, please pay attention to the parent comment's question, and the Internet's long chequered history of adopting new protocols in any setting. TCP port 443 isn't going to magically disappear overnight, or indeed any time soon. This is evidently true because it has been true for all prior transitions. Mail still flows to many places unencrypted despite the standardization of STARTTLS 21 years ago. The long tail has only gotten much longer in those intervening 21 years.

I find the 'control' part of this iffy. People's actions are caused by their thoughts, feelings and beliefs, but their thoughts, feelings and beliefs are themselves caused by various other things. This is why I think the root question is whether you could have chosen differently. If you could only have ever made one choice, how much control do you really have?

The fact that moral responsibility requires the assumption that people have control doesn't mean people do have control. It just means that people who like moral responsibility (including myself!) have an inconvenient reality to contend with. It means we have to find some way to run a society morally despite the shaky grounding on which we find ourselves.

I would find the compatibilist argument more convincing if it simply said, here are some beliefs that would benefit us if we assumed they were true, rather than saying they are true. We can define free will as 'the assumption that is needed to make moral responsibility work,' and we can even make that assumption in order to have a practical, working framework for moral responsibility, but it still doesn't prove the assumption is true.

I feel like I'm back in the 90s when Yahoo went from a pretty good search engine to mediocre with ads and stuff, and I marveled at the clean simplicity of Google. Now, I'm finding Google shows a bunch of articles from dubious sources and whereas DDG will pull Wikipedia articles closer to the top.

You're still putting the concept of "blame" into the water.

Blaming in the context of a situation is called "an excuse", and it's still defensive.

It's pretty nuanced after this though. If folk are defensive when a problem happens ("I don't know how this happened"="it wasn't me"), you have a blame culture.

So how does one figure out what happened without someone jumping on the blame-sword (or run screaming from it)? I haven't quite figured out the answer to that question, but one thing that helps is only ask what happened if it's truly a mystery that must be solved. If it was human error, quietly move on.

I didn't check mermaid for bng, but had checked it before (I like visual representations of knowledge, no matter what they are for). Although I found it interesting, my gut feeling here was that if my problem's solution (at that point it was just out of curiosity) was going to be JS-based at some point, I should go directly for D3 (I already had experience, but not recent, with D3).

Mermaid uses D3 under the scenes, so depending on your specifics it could be the best solution anyway, though. Performance wise, I'd expect it to be OK (D3 is pretty fast in most cases) although if there are any issues down the road, fixing them from such a high level library as mermaid could be daunting (it's "easier" to move down from D3 to paper.js or g.js or any other high performance canvas renderer if the case arises).
I'd wager it's the most important and most obscure research being done today. Can you imagine being able to regrow a limb!? :-D
I mean your proof is I seen PHP code then conclusion is PHP is bad.

You are trying to compare PHP with Go, probably Go is better then PHP, but if Go is better that does not mean PHP is bad, just that Go is better (probably not for all use cases).

So you have experience with PHP, probably are you thinking at html code mixed with PHP code? yeah that thing is bad but only news use that for large projects. If you do not mean that then I am not sure what PHP issues prevent you to write good code.

I think it is fair to say that whether for violent crimes or non-violent crimes, sentencing in the US is considerably harsher than in many other countries.

I've rarely seen a prison term issued by a US court which I have not found to be excessive relative to my experience with sentences in Germany.

The statistic of the total number of prisoners in the US per capita is well-known and gives us a strong indication that sentencing must be a factor. Still, I'd love to see some official data on this.

One thing that one usually does with make is that one also figures out on what header file helloworld.c depends during the make run. Is the above code fragment hand coded or generated? I also am wondering if this also works if one only wants to build part of the project. make can take a list of files to rebuild as arguments. This also provides the ability to only create some set on intermediate files.
