I think you hit it right on the head. What I'm wondering now is: What leads to this association of politics and identity? Is it a product of our culture, upbringing, is it human nature? Is it that modern life has so little avenue for people individuating? Maybe it is filling a void.

One thing that strikes me as key to this polarization is how pervasive are some generalizations we make today and how the individual is lost when we make them. I've seen racists make the comment "Black people are ...." (won't repeat that here) but then I see activist say "Black people are (ex. disadvantaged.)" Are there no quite privileged black people? (millionaires, billionaires, etc) Don't lower class people face a pretty similar set of challenges no matter their skin tone? When you look at it, both arguments are generalizing equally as aggressive. My question then is: are all generalizations wrong or only some?

I think this process of grouping people has ome currents of thought tend to generalize two aspects to it, people who group other people when making statements and people who in some search of uniqueness, group themselves into it? As a non-American, coming from a very heterogeneous country I find it hard to follow how many people will self-identify so readily with a group and in the process lose some of their individuality. Maybe I speak from "privilege" as someone who due to upbringing and origin, felt a quite distinct individual, so I cannot say for sure. I just think this currents of thought harm more by dividing into groups and with many individuals satisfying their need of identity there.
Not true. In fact, the first page of the react guide shows setting it up with jsx entirely in the browser. You also include babel via cdn and you‘re done.

The headlined article tells you that that outright was the case, no "could" about it.

For me it works like “memory palace” technique. Driven by addiction a graph structure with multiple root node starts to build up so I can follow traces of thoughts and contexts among tabs and windows.
Having been thinking that cyberwar could be a wonderful thing if it keeps everyone occupied and well away from civilian lives, as long as I was in cloud cuckoo land I figured we (the non-inclusive we, meaning: anyone but me) ought to set up a giant (bits, not atoms, remember?) online honeypot that gets spooks in so deep that they become N-tuple agents (where N is chosen sufficiently large to overflow their mental stacks, allowing us to set them to chasing each other in cyclical patterns) and eventually wind up typing in gibberish in grand operations that, like the coruscating beams of an E.E. "Doc" Smith novel, escalate to grappling with networks of cosmic proportions, but in truth are on the wrong side of an impedance mismatch to affect the real world.

This won't fool anyone who knows the propaganda business, and you won't be able to do anything with or about it, but you can hang it on a month-by-month chart in the front office, where visitors can be impressed at getting in on a military secret. (Incidentally, if some smart enemy agent sees it and reports it back, enemy intelligence experts will go mad trying to figure out just how you got that figure. It's like the old joke that the average American is ten-elevenths White, 52% female, and always slightly pregnant.)"

TIL CthulhuPunk is a thing.

Anyone familiar enough with the Cthulhu-mythos to tell me if there are any impediments in canon to the following retcon: what if Great Old Ones are Scissor Entities, and appear to xenophobes as horrific monsters of vaguely anthropoid outline, with octopus-like heads and prodigious claws, but to xenophiles as animated pegasus unicorns, and, as part of their eternal struggle against the Blue Meanies, drive the former to gibbering madness but invite the latter over for tea?

A company running on off-the-shelf CMS for a product that adds value but isn’t part of the core business so that they can focus of the hard problems that differentiates themselves from their competitors is absolutely the correct way to run infrastructure.

You do actually realise that a significant amount of national and international news sites are actually powered by offs-the-shelf components and often even Wordpress? Equally true is the number of independent shops that run off-the-shelf applications. Then you have SaaS solutions that run a hosted blog (not everyone has switched to Medium), shops that still run message boards, and so on and so forth.

It’s got absolutely nothing b to do with the organisation failing and everything to do with investing your expensive talent on the problems that differentiate your business.

It’s easy to say “I work in yadda yadda yadda” anonymously but you’re still massively misrepresenting how the industry actually works with your sweeping generalisations. And if you were half as experienced as you pretend, you’d already know that. For example there is another use case of WAFs that hasn’t yet been discussed: automatic blacklisting. If they detect suspicious activity hitting services under the WAFs control they can automatically blacklist that source across all customers using that WAF service. This is similar to how fail2ban works but at a cloud level and with the added bonus of saving your sysadmins/DevOps engineers the pain of adding and maintaining thousands of apache / nginx rules themselves.

Let’s also not forget that there is good money to be made off consulting for those companies that are “fucked” and guiding them through best practices and low maintenance security models. That can often be a rewarding job in its own right (depending on the business).
For anybody interested I've built a python lib to read the latest commit from a git repo:
https://github.com/spapas/python-git-info/

This is a pure python implementation that started simple (just read a couple of files from the .git folder) but after a little I understood that for non trivial repos you'll need to deal with pack for files. Because I had already published the package I actually completed the pack parsing work but I have to confess that it's way too complex and I wouldn't have started the project if I knew better...

In any case the source is there if you want to take a look!

Airships pollute, too. Look up avgas, it contains lead.

Besides that, it's not profitable. Helium has become super expensive, and cargo airship companies barely break even while heavily subsidised. These airships are drones. A tourist airship which needs to accommodate real people and pesky safety requirements that come with them would go broke before the first lift-off.

I wonder a bit, that those POSIX comments are so far in the bottom of this discussion. I mean, you are loosing portability by using long flags (because it is not standard compliant) and yet it seems to be just a footnote in this discussion...
Further, Bork was nominated knowing that he wouldn't be confirmed. A gambit that worked. The electoral backlash has served Republicans quite well since.
I mean they both seemed to have good sportsmanship. Is life not but a game?
I’m surprised that most people in america didn’t see this coming. It’s been clear that “winning” has been the strategy for the republicans and they’ve been doing it consistently for decades now.

They’ve shown up at elections, they’ve shown up for local elections, they’ve worked for every single advantage in power they could get. I mean these are the chaps who suffered a massive electoral defeat to Obama the first time and found their mettle by saying “one term president” like a mantra. They converted that into a fight for every micro meter.

Eventually anyone m would also realize that “winning” (at all costs) is the strategy that works and adopt it. The best strategies get adopted by market players.

The media environment for the past many decades now ensures that bipartisanship won’t work either.

Maybe it’s an incorrect cultural reading on my part,
Republicans are absolutely working to roll back legal protections for the LGBT community and have been engaged in a decades-long fight to reduce women's access to health care.

They're also fully in support of the immigration policies that have led to things like the very well-documented child separation.

In what ways are those not denying someone's humanity?
I think it's easier to write a portable shell script today than 30 years ago.

The Autoconf system is predicated on the idea that writing a portable shells script is hard, and so we hide the shell programming behind a mountain of M4 macros.

It's not necessarily easier to port a shell script today than 22 years ago, which was not written with portability in mind. There are more shells with more extensions, and then beyond the language concerns, and the environments have exploded. A shell script can easily depend on all sorts of cruft you've never heard of.

The people who tried to haul the carcass of a 747 to Burning Man discovered how difficult it is to coordinate anything that is such an oversized load, on public highways.

Most of the places I can think of that I could get local government permission, and buy cheap land, to put a 747 house in place... Have a near 1:1 venn diagram overlap with places that might have a half mile dirt driveway with trees on both sides, where it would be difficult to get a truck and traditional dimension single-wide mobile home into, nevermind a 747.
Executed is not a synonym of "bought". And arguably, none of them is revolucionary. With a cool $1bn in the bank, you bet I could do better, such as investing in tech that solves real problems instead of 3rd cathegory sci-fi adaptations.
> What about credentials? Access? Administration?

That has been a solved problem, at least in Chromium OS[1]. Even hardware-based two-factor authentication can be required for all users by a click of a button.

> DDOS attacks?

If it's self-hosted by a hospital locally, most parts of the system should not be available on an open network. If it's not self-hosted locally, the largest European hosting provider, OVH, can survive a 1.1 Tbps DDoS attack[2].

If the solution is not designed around up-to-date technical components, it can fail regardless of careful planning.

Translated to a more familiar medium, the analogy would be: “bookstores can no longer sell that title, but that’s ok because people who already own a copy can still read it.” I’m not a constitutional scholar, but this seems like a pretty weak counterargument to me.

Why put ‘conservative’ in quotes? If you Google the name of the magazine their own meta description says conservative as the second word, so they consider themselves a partisan source.
nVidia is collaborating on their embedded Tegra driver.

How can I not like him? Real easily, turns out! Scalia wanted to deny basic human dignities to people I care about. Scalia perpetuated a system that grinds your everyday citizen into the dirt because it made his moneyed interests a speck wealthier. To hell with that, and worse words besides.

A competent rhetorician is only "hard to hate" when you don't look at what they do. Keeping one's eye on the ball is not that difficult when you have a set of principles.
Good leadership involves the sort of thinking where you are prepared to listen to a diverse set of opinions and be prepared to change your mind - especially if there is data that tells you you are wrong.

The political discourse across the globe has taken a sharp turn away from this over the last 40 years in particular. There was a brief window between the end of the Cold War and 9/11 where many had hope this was going to be the new normal. I remember feeling that sliver of optimism as I entered adulthood. No more.

Vote for people who are called "flip-floppers", by their opponents. Change your own opinions when the data changes. Be the change you want to see.
Yes, that's the legal claim. What's the moral claim?
Who hurt you? Why discount their friendship? I'd say it would make little difference with people of the caliber of RBG or Scalia.
> but it also means you can't send a file filled with 0's.

To be clear, this can't support a file that contains a block worth of 0s anywhere in the file? That seems like a severe limitation

Although, the recepient should have encrypted blocks, right? So its only when the output of the hash is all 0's that it should conflict with the resumption algorithm

That's what was given to him in 2016 by the Senate which holds the power of giving or not giving a vote to the WH nominee according to the constitution:

https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/2719115/Senate-SC...

Also:

1. Don't impeach a president in an election year.

2. If dems wanted their adversaries to respect unwritten norms, maybe they should have refrained from baselessly accusing the nominees of gang rape (Justice Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas).

3. A SC Judge vote needs BOTH WH and Senate. That was not the case in 2016 regardless of who said what. That is the case this time. It's the President's prerogative to nominate, and the Senate's prerogative to confirm.

4. This time, it would also most likely be a contested election. So not having a full supreme count will be a disaster.

Btw, I am NOT a fan of McConnell. But this case is very different.

Try D language, with its numerical library you can get both productivity and performance that is even better than the OpenBLAS (Numpy and Julia library are based on) [1].

In D you get the consistency of a single unified language semantic unlike the impedance mismatched approach that is inherent in Python and Numpy programming combination.

The “vast majority” were proteobacteria. I’m not exactly sure what 99% means - there is a pretty darn good likelihood that they found some new strains, but not completely new phyla or anything special.

Though, honestly, if you just go around sequencing dirt you can find that much biodiversity. Bit of an exaggerated headline.
" a family member developed a stress fracture in the pelvic area – an unusual place for one so young. She was a long distance runner and the specialists simply concluded it was from running. However the MRI showed osteopenia. When doing our own research we found that those with gluten intolerance or with gluten allergies often develop osteopenia. Indeed the relative was soon diagnosed with this food allergy and has since been able to restore her bone health. Even though she ate mostly organic and unprocessed foods, the gluten allergy interfered with her ability to absorb and utilize many essential nutrients."

I’m of Indian heritage. This isn’t about the reviewers being Indian per se.

It’s about a compliance function being placed in a country with poor law enforcement, low pay relative to the activity they’re monitoring and geographic/cultural separation from HQ. If you read about a bank whose traders are in New York and whose risk and compliance are in Tokyo, what would you think? And Tokyo has decent cops and high pay.

This is, fundamentally, about Amazon treating this function as a cost centre versus brand defence.

I don’t disagree with your characterisation, but I do disagree with the idea that it is republicans alone. Unfortunately this has been the way both parties have operated for a long time. The democrats have also done their fair share of abuse of power just in the last 4 years.
RTX I/O is going to be a big feature, and games are likely some of the first consumer-facing software that will use it because it is a standard features for the next console generation. And AAA devs already support multiple performance profiles, feature support fallbacks..etc. There's no reason they couldn't have the engine take advantage of RTX I/O when it exists, but otherwise fall back on an emulation layer of sorts.

In addition, I suspect the slice of the video game market that has a GPU with RTX I/O capability will also have a NVME SSD. Now, this is niche, but with that slice of the market also being the top-end performance tier, they're still going to be catered to by AAA devs.
The newsworthy event is these unknown microbes were located inside our body, not in sequencing dirt, and most of them doesn't match existing genetic databases.

From the article:
"Given the fact it's becoming increasingly clear that the microbes within our bodies – especially our gut bacteria – can play a crucial role in regulating our emotions[0], immune system[1], and even our brains[2], it's important that we begin to properly understand exactly which tiny creatures live inside us."

I'm skeptical. Electrical cars have much different internal layout and weight distribution, as well as being heavier overall.

If the goal would be to switch the vehicle fleet over to electric, makes more sense to aggressively introduce it with new cars (say, a moratorium on new ICE cars, or fleet fuel efficiency / emissions standards that would in practice allow vendors to sell only a small fraction of ICE vehicles), and let existing ICE cars run to the end of their lives as is.
