Hmm. I was using a surprisingly similar setup (Arch, Sway, and Firefox) and never had those issues, but I think I was using Firefox with XWayland instead of those environment variables. I'm glad it's not a huge pain for you.

I make a point of not including any of the components that you mention in packages that I build.

Another comment by the author of the GP one states the problem, everyone who might work on this kind of thing has different preferences.
They are faked via signed arithmetic, because the JVM does not support them anyway.
Lafayette is indeed the heart of Cajun Country (Acadiana). Although it spills over in various degrees to other parts of the state, Acadiana itself is a well-defined, specific area that includes Lafayette, Carencro, Breaux Bridge, St. Martinville, New Iberia, Abbeville, and Crowley (this list is not exclusive, but just to give the idea).

Baton Rouge and New Orleans are most definitely not Cajun. Sure, you'll find pockets of authenticity, but generally speaking they're not. New Orleans is Creole, a mixture of various influences but primarily French, Spanish, and Native American. There are other parts of the state that have a fairly pure French heritage that are not Cajun nor Creole (towns in the central part of the state like New Roads and Ville Platte).

'Cajun' is the one that is most well known, but Creole and non-Acadian French (ancestors came directly from France, not exiled from Nova Scotia) also have outstanding cuisine. Some of this may feel like splitting hairs, but the distinctions are important for some of the Louisiana natives.

The FAA could have been pacified if there was any political will to find a real solution. Blaming the FAA because they rejected one design is pure bs.

It's literally the truth. You can't build a rail to the airport if the ultimate governing body for airports in the country won't let you build the rail to the airport. It took decades to get the FAA to withdraw its opposition, and that didn't happen until a Democratic president took over.

I would love your explanation for BH doing everything in their power to prevent and delay a rail line because they didn't want homeless people to be have easy access to the area.

That's not corruption. That's residents of the city of Beverly Hills being opposed to having a rail line in their city because they don't want homeless people having easy access. (And they're not wrong to be worried about it; the homeless use the E Line daily to shuttle between Santa Monica and downtown LA.) It's not corruption simply because you disagree with them. That's how democracy works.

Notably, the businesses in Beverly Hills were very much in favor of a rail line station terminating in the city. However, businesses aren't voters, so if the rail station had been built over the objections of the voting residents, that would be an example of corruption.
Maybe I'm not in the right circles but I see absolutely no renewed interest towards PHP. Is there any reason to believe that? Honest question - PHP was my first language (or second if you want to consider mIRC scripting) and I have not so bad memories but at least me and everybody I know moved away from it years ago and don't see people going back to it anytime soon.
Looks like a very nice client
I used to play with ZMud which I think was popular "shareware" back then.

Are there any recommended web clients as well ?
My impression of the SOP of those organisations, which I stress is based entirely on online hearsay so may be wildly inaccurate, is that they write to someone who they suspect has probably ripped something illegally, make a song and dance about the huge statutory damages that can potentially be awarded (under US law), and then rely on the fact that defending a suit will also (under US law) probably cost them thousands even if they win, so settling may work out cheaper even if they really have done nothing wrong?

The analogous organisations don't tend to try that kind of stunt here in the UK. Unless the copyright infringement is criminal, in a civil action our legal system currently only provides for actual damages to be awarded, and it's usual for the winning party to be awarded their legal fees at the loser's expense.

So unless there are some kind of statutory/punitive damages available for each lost photo in a case like this, it doesn't seem to be a comparable situation.
Sure, but I'm assuming that if you're writing such high performance limited scope software like the LMAX disruptor, you have few dependencies (looking at their code, it appears that the disruptor code itself has no external dependencies and uses few of the standard library classes outside of NIO bytebuffers).
Geez, I'm running 5.8.1. Why is RHEL so slow?
Do you see yourself as becoming a top earner in your field?

Do you know if you earn more than your colleagues? If so, is this because of your negotiating skills?
A hanging rail train sounds much more complicated than a train running on top of tracks. I wonder why they chose that configuration? Or maybe a 1 rail hanging configuration takes much less material than 2 rails?

edit: sounds like there's some confusion in replies. What I mean is even if elevated, why not elevate traditional 2-rail train tracks, instead of a hanging train?
Foodways can be really complex an interesting. In the case of the culinary traditions you're talking about, it was a collision between native, african, and european flavors and techniques.

Many types of stem cells indeed undergo competitive selection within a tissue, and the victors differentiate into somatic cells. Reduced competition within this process is responsible for things like skin aging.
Wow, thanks for sharing, great work on the UI!
I had the same issue; I think the error message is wrong. The reason it's not working is that tracking protection is blocking XHR requests to www.reddit.com. If you disable tracking protection or whitelist www.reddit.com it should work.
Seconding parquet and sqlite, but hdf5 and netcdf4 certainly deserve a mention, especially for multidimensional, scientific, and generally large datasets.

Well you have to remember who he's talking to. You can sort of tell that lots of people, if they think they're about to be rushed, would make loads of spine crawlers as a defense; the emphasis on "ONE spine crawler" to delay an attacking army just long enough that you can build your own army in response (assuming you see it when it starts to cross the map) with the minimal impact on your economy.

And my point is that basically what he does in the series is start with a super simple set of rules, and then slowly add more subtleties and sub-clauses. That's obviously at some level how he works when he's actually playing -- he has a general plan, then a whole load of patterns that he matches on in how to respond. I'd be willing to bet that he rarely encounters a genuinely new situation for which there is absolutely zero precedent -- absolutely nothing in his experience which is similar enough for him to take an existing response and adapt it for that purpose. How is that different to what AlphaStar is doing?

The main difference is likely to be in how they learn afterwards. If he encounters a new situation in a game, afterwards he will use his model of the game to try to come up with new responses. AlphaStar will most likely have to do something much closer to brute force to find an appropriate response.
I'd love it if someone managed to reverse engineer the Remarkable such that we could run our own Linux distro on it with access to all the hardware.

The Remarkable is an awesome device, but it's so very limited by the software. It's extremely difficult to use it in a enterprise scenario due to lack of at rest encryption (on device) and no (official) private cloud options.
It was already a while ago, stumbled across the hand coded i386 assembler in, if I recall correctly, nettle at that time. On a later attempt, getting the mysql driver into the thing was a pain on my Mac. It's not that it did not work with some debugging experience, just that each and every time I install it, something else is broken on first attempt.

And now, recently, SWIG removed Pike support, bringing future trouble to the one project we have running internally at our company based on Pike, as that used SWIG for bindings to some other third-party C software, so we can never update that again to a newer SWIG version without rewriting that stuff.
"But what a visual blight on the riverfront and the city streets."

A very late-20th and current 21st century perspective. This is 1902; if you were actually there your first impression would probably be more like "wow, that's a lot of horse crap on the roads". If you look you can see quite a bit of it in the roads in the video... if you know what you're looking for. 21st century eyes are not looking for that in the video and probably just assumed it was noise or rocks.

I'm not saying you're right or wrong in that persective; just observing it is a product of your time and probably not something they'd agree with.
Someone at my company wanted to use RSShub for turning Instagram into an RSS feed. This kept breaking, because rsshub just scrapes Instagram profiles on the web and Instagram pushes its users to the app.

It’s probably more Instagrams fault than rsshub’s that it was breaking. Just be aware of these limitations.
TimeGetTime versus GetTickCount
For me it works. Just tested on latest Firefox, Mac.
I don't really see why standardized pipelines are the answer. That just makes things reproducible while ignoring the question of accuracy. Phrenology can be perfectly reproducible, but unless there's a real effect to measure it's just chasing ghosts. So few people actually understand what these calculations are doing. I don't think making things even more cook-by-numbers is really going to achieve anything other than empowering more people to not know what they're doing.
>Uber and Lyft were so welcome.

Because these companies are VC and investor subsidized, and apparently breaking labour laws. It isn't a functioning market. If they had to cover the full costs they would face the same issues as taxis.
The story I told comes straight from articles about the game as it was released, and the marketing definitely worked on me. Raising cuddly neural nets seems much more interesting when you believe that the AI was already proven in another area.
Very curious how Telegram plans to monetize the app eventually given their crypto thing didn't work out.
A single IP address? Really?
I don't want to make this a personal attack, but it really sounds like you haven't done much work in a real production environment in a high-sec company. There may be a lot of red tape and safeguards in place, but you will always have someone with access to do anything, anywhere. It's the only way to respond to "interesting" incidents.
Thanks! Interesting to hear about the origins of the words
I followed the primaries closely, and based on the uniformly left political positions folks were taking, it seemed to me at the time that the supposed minority was very powerful. Consider the near-universal use of the term “LatinX.” Apparently, 76% of Hispanic people have never even heard the term. Out of those who have heard it, 2/3 object to it being used to describe Hispanics. Only 3% use the term themselves. https://www.pewresearch.org/hispanic/2020/08/11/about-one-in...

One under appreciated aspect of all this is that these folks, while a minority overall, are highly overrepresented among people with power. Democrat voters might not use “LatinX.” But the college-educated “wonks” who will actually be turning the gears of the Biden administration may well do so.
awesome idea! great implementation.
If there are no browsers left supporting the likes of uBlock Origin then that will be a serious loss.
Right, but now they're no longer a marketplace, now the're the one assigning the driver...which makes the driver their agent.

And if the driver is their agent, it matters whether the driver is classified as an employee or independent contractor.

If Uber wants to be a transportation marketplace, they can be, but they actually have to act like one. (And in fact, in CA they've been run a small trial in the Bay Area to make that shift. The trial will supposedly be expanded to all of CA this year.)
Json has many design flaws, e.g. support for large integers, floating point infinity and NaN, for instance.
Hopefully you never fall into the habit of trying to judge good and evil. Hopefully you also never fall into the habit of adopting for yourself the view that others have of you. It’s entirely possible (and I encourage you to seek out the numerous writings of the philosophers that discovered this before us) to live a life and conduct oneself without a notion of good and evil. One of my favorites is Beyond Good and Evil.
what in gods name does that have to do with software?
Do you mean the train is a visual blight? I have to disagree, it's magnificent.

The buildings too when compared to modern-day Wuppertal. I wonder how we allowed the postwar construction to be so damned ugly everywhere. What would a beautiful building with a proper decorated facade cost these days? Would it really be prohibitively expensive?
Kindle supports this with Whispersync. I don't know how the file format works.

No and no (never realistically going to be that outside something like Google in Mountain View). No I've never asked them.

You think a union would make everyone be paid like a senior at Google? Yeah....
Reliable comms is far from guaranteed in a war, and if there's a gen. 4 fighter dogfight involved, it presumably a median sophisticated adversary capable of EW.

> There are two OSes (NixOS and Guix) that basically allow you to run anything you want, however you want

I just want to point out that these are able to cover only a small fraction of the things I listed, and you are required to learn a completely new language (each!) in order to use them.

> You can call me all the cute names you want, but in the end of day you are trading your freedoms for convenience and familiarity.

I don't deny it, that's the world we live in. At the end of the day I have to get things done. My frustration is because I wish OSS was better at supporting me in that, but 20 years of waiting for that to happen, and watching good ideas manifest only to die out practically unnoticed, have lead me to conclude it never will be.
Hey! Big fan of your work.

For the REST API endpoints (e.g. [0] [1]), we do set the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to *, but for GET requests we do not send it at all. I'm not sure if this is the same as setting it to star. We can set it explicitly though; we do want to enable this use case (eventually we'll have quotas).

Soon we're releasing a Web UI for writing SQL queries. Part of that will include an HTTP (or websocket maybe) endpoint that takes a SQL query and returns the rows, so you'll be able to execute SQL queries directly from the browser.

As an aside, we'd love to get this working with Observable! Let us know anything we can do to help. You can email me at miles@splitgraph.com or join the Discord and we can figure it out :)

This looks like a clue as to what some, but probably not all, botnets consist of...

The idea of using SSH servers (from the perspective of whichever group or individual(s) wrote the given botnet that uses them) makes a lot of sense (in an evil way), because there's a lot of SSH servers out there on the Internet.

To dig a little bit deeper (if I were an investigator), I'd investigate all of the historical security issues that SSH has had, in its history...

Were some of those intentionally engineered?

?

If so, then whichever groups or individual(s) were involved -- might be -- or might lead a security researcher a step closer to the actual authors of the botnet...

Also... one needs to ask "who would need the botnet, and why?"

While I'm on the topic, I think it would be a great idea to research the historical security issues that not just SSH, but every piece of server software (Apache, etc.), in order of the software's popularity.

In other words, the more popular a piece of server software is -- the more likely it is a target for intentional botnet "security modifications" (that is, intentional weakening of the server software's security to support future botnet activity...)

Also (and especially) if those server software packages use common shared libraries of code in their codebases, then those common shared libraries are prime targets...

So, here's what I would do for sleuthing this:

1) List/enumerate all known pieces of software that act as servers on the Internet.

2) Order the list created in #1 by popularity.

3) Look for all libraries/code bases -- shared across those.

4) Look at the historical security issues of those codebases.

and, for skilled investigators:

5) Audit these codebases for changes/commits that look similar to other historical changes in other codebases where security was compromised.

Anytime someone sees weird or not-understandable code in a shared codebase -- it should be flagged for peer review. The more eyes, the better.
I'll have to look into the writer's guild more, thanks!
I'm all for shitting on big companies when they do shady stuff, but Adobe literally makes it clear when you sign up that you are signing up for an "Annual plan, paid monthly". You have 3 options.

Annual, Paid Monthly
Annual, Paid Once
Monthly, no Contract (which is priced higher than the other two)

This seems more like user error not understanding what they're signing up for.
LOL. We used to laugh at that guy. I'm sure his cooking was good, but his accent and mannerisms always seemed to be a little over the top (a schtick).
Yes. You now are hyper-connected and on an interrupt loop, timechucks sliced by the sum total of maximum neediness into mere minutes. No more blocks of time, no more focus, no more deep thought. It fits rather well into Agile Cosplay as being a series of not just incremental, but tiny tasks that accrete around extrusions, rather than being architected, it's all you really have time for in between interrupts, miniature functions which prevent you from pulling back to look at the big picture.

I even noticed that many co-workers added a third monitor just to have space for Slack being "up" all the time. I watched with interest as they would flick their heads to one side at any motion.
From a language standpoint, there are only a handful of features I would really like.

* something like JS backtick interpolation. Strings are hugely important in day-to-day coding for a lot of domains. Baked-in utf8 and Rune (utf32) would also be nice to have.

* Leading pipe in cases and `| foo | bar => expr` (maybe guards too, but they can be subject to abuse)

* Module Typeclasses which make it harder to create typeclasses everywhere like Haskell, but also does away with some ambiguities and the special case `eqtype` typeclass. SML has a way to add operators, but without typeclasses, it's pretty useless and unsafe. While we're improving modules, bake higher-order functors into them (they are already widely supported)

* Bake Concurrent ML into the official spec

As you can see, not too many things. In fact, about half of them (or more) are already supported in some SML implementations.

Honestly, all the "new" syntax/features in languages like Java, Swift, or C# just seem like attempts to kluge them one step closer to SML.

Single subscription for access to all of the major paywalled article sites?
I'm getting fatigued by all of the web sites such as Bloomberg and NY Times asking me for money. I don't want to have to keep track of a million different $3 a month subscriptions or whatever.

I would totally pay a single $10 subscription that gave me access to all of them though.

What do you all think?

Someone invest in my startup. It's genius. I'll sell $1 Bills for $.50, I'll never make a profit but my user growth will be off the charts! Me, my cofounders and any VC stupid/genius enough to invest in us will make millions when we IPO, cash out and go bankrupt all within 5 years!
Adding a comment to explain what's inside: the author, who is on the CS faculty of Sweden's top technical university, spends a semester teaching at Williams College and uses most of this report to reflect on differences between KTH (a large elite European research university) and Williams (an elite American liberal arts college). An excerpt:

> The fact that Williams students are so consistently strong (with very few exceptions) have some implications: Most or all students can be expected to pass a given examination, whereas at KTH a course which everyone passes is looked upon with suspicion (this is particularly true for intro courses). Unless the admission procedure at KTH is changed to involve some kind of aptitude test, it is unavoidable, I think, that the intro courses at KTH will act as that filter instead (even if it seems a wasteful system both on a individual and a societal level). Moreover, at Williams lots of individually adapted help can be given to the few students who experience problems in a class. At KTH, fewer such resources exist (although there is some help to be had in basic math and computer programming). The Williams students always have the option of contacting their professors directly, and visiting them during office hours. Very few KTH teachers have office hours to my knowledge. A female master's student of mine described the situation: "At KTH one reads a number of very difficult courses at a very high pace, and there is really nobody there to help you. Unless you're able to find or create a good study group among your peers, you're unlikely to graduate".
I don't think PHP _needs_ a renascence. It's already a widely used language, so I prefer it to keep growing the good parts and leaving behind the bad old habits.
I mean "good reasons" as in storms, collisions with birds or trees etc. No I didn't mean software issues or the F-35 in specific, but fighters in general compared to passenger airplanes.

I didn't find any specific statistics, but I remember reading it in a book about the Swedish airforce some years ago that fighters just crash alot. They seem to just be way more prone to crashing due to their combat agility need.
