Fully so. I was super surprised when I happened to try to push on a temp. system which wasn't properly setup (no ssh key) and it asked me for my password.

I'm also always surprised if e.g. password based SMTP for mail is still allowed (it most times is, but is a security problem, through not a big one).

I just which the way to get the token (in general no github specific) would be better.
I, personally, am not a paying customer but I work for people that are using RHEL for _everything_. I would spin-up CentOS VMs for other things just because I am familiar with RHEL.

Now that that way of working is essentially dead, I have no reason to recommend or use RHEL in any capacity.
Perhaps part of the problem was a premature switch from exploration to exploitation?

When Facebook bought Oculus for $$$$, the collaborative community which had been pushing the envelope, exploring for possibilities, rapidly died. People took it as a hint to switch modes. And eye-tracking rent seekers, already in low-volume high-cost exploitation mode, weren't then incentivized to support exploration.

Gaming had dollars, and so became a dominating focus. But it also had challenging constraints, which further pruned exploration. Do you want higher resolution, to allow text and programming in VR? Well, a panel existed, but gaming standards of immersion and such were too GPU intensive for the market at that resolution, so ... feel free to diy it yourself. In an environment where diy was no longer a supported thing. Programmers - a niche market.

Facebook et al, even Chinese OEMs, aren't interested in niche, or in making "commodity" hardware. Consumer platforms, and lock-in, and unicorn dreams. Even while that further cripples exploration.

Nreal light AR glasses are a laptop-comparable 1080p 3D screen at 2 meters. As with their dev kit, consumer availability is now first in China, SK, and Japan, then later in Europe, and eventually in the US. So asia now, and maybe US late next year. And the glasses are developed on linux, but you can't have that - no unicorns there.

Here's this amazing tech, and instead of an exploratory ferment, we wait for a few large companies to navigate patent thickets, to eventually meet the severe constraints of creating mass-market consumer devices. And then we'll dig in to exploring.
I'll have to try it and see how it compares to Magit. Magit is by far my favorite way to interact with git. I do work on a repo currently however that brings Magit to its knees performance-wise, so I'll have to see if Tig performs better with it.

You can't truly "prove" harm or benefits either they just happen to be things you can very easily make the error bounds minuscule on. Likewise the problem with "absence of harm" is making the error bounds small is extremely slow and costly so we avoid it. The scientific method (or any method to this point) never ends up "proving" anything, you always have to set what error bounds are acceptable.

Which leads to the real overall point I suppose - is there something better we could be using as "just never make anything new" isn't free of problems either so it's a question of "what's the best method" not "what method can guarantee something" (none so far can).

This research was motivated by the runoff effect being especially acute in coho salmon.

It probably affects other species, too. Now that we know the chemical responsible it will be easier to test that.
`git add -i` is linear, you have to address files and chunks in order (there are workarounds for this, but they're clumsy). `git add -i` is a bit like using a typewriter, whereas `tig`, which lets you address files and chunks non-linearly, is like using a word processor by comparison. Edit to your hearts content.
I have run into that Messages fat-finger-delete multiple times, it is infuriating! I still don't know what the key combination is, but IIRC the confirmation defaults to "Delete" when enter or space are pressed, which are...quite common when sending short messages.
You've lost me. This sentence does not explain how Docker, or containers work.

It explains one aspect/limitation related to the execution of code in a container, but does not foster a deeper understanding of container architecture for the uninformed reader, and is actually somewhat misleading considering Docker's use of a VM behind the scenes in some situations (in which case the "host running the container" is technically the VM, not the user's PC).

I sense that you have useful knowledge to share. I'm afraid you've missed the mark. Instead of spreading vitriol and asking why everyone around you is so dumb, focus that energy on sharing that knowledge!

I don't think CentOS ever intended to be IBM either.
1) That's a feature, not a bug :)

2) Agreed, but that's a challenge for the engineers, not something we should blame the user for. Users have unequivocally spoken (Look up reviews for epub programming books on Amazon, usually they just want a PDF).
It's unlikely they would sabotage their only competitive advantage though, whereas Oracle has lots of reasons to maintain an enterprise linux distribution besides just succeeding CentOS.
In English, yes. However, "on the merits" is a term of art that explicitly excludes procedural matters like "can you even bring this case" or "did you file on time." Standing is a procedural issue.

So while the suit was thrown out for being obviously faulty, it did not fail "on its merits." Mind you, that does not make the objection sensible. If I write "they are bad because they are a poopy face" in crayon, and then I don't pay my filing fees and the case is thrown out for that reason, I am technically correct that my case was not heard on its merits, but that doesn't make it a good point.
>I've always been under the impression that "engineer" was a protected professional title

Based on what? I always thought it was well known that there is pretty much no such thing in the IT world, and beyond that, Americans tend to as whole disdain the old worlds fascination with titles and the people in America who use and abuse them (lawyers are some of the shittiest people)... so perhaps you aren't American?

It might be possible to establish categories where if your molecule has XYZ properties it falls into this bucket. I think a category for really novel molecules that haven't been evaluated is a good idea with tight restrictions on how much can be produced.

There should also be a presumption that minor edits to known dangerous molecules should be presumed dangerous without testing.

Could you please provide a citation for this claim? It's fascinating if true, but I wonder which societies did this and what documentation there is for this practice.

From what I've read, this is the direction some anti-trust lawyers want the interpretation of the law to go in.
I think bishop+knight endgame could be much more common if players actually tried to get them when defending after exchanges of queens and rooks. So, exchange as many pawns as possible and maybe sacrifice a piece for a couple of last pawns and here your opponent goes.

Also, if memory servers me I've seen two grandmaster games only during this week, where this endgame could happen, but the players didn't want their opponents to show the technique. One of these games was yesterday:
https://www.chessbomb.com/arena/2020-russian-championship-su...

But indeed, rook endgames are way much more important from a practical point of view.
I don't know what your conversion rate is from 'free' to 'premium' to 'pro', I'd definitely argue against these SaaS pricing 'expert' guidelines. $12/yr - $60/yr are what I like to call 'support the dev' pricing, hey I like your product and $12/yr is < less than a coffee a few times a year, $60/yr is a manageable expense for someone being a power user, $29/month is $348/yr, and while I see the benefit of your product I would never pay that for the features provided as a power user. And this is my problem with a lot of businesses they go from $0 to $15/month for their tiering, then $50/month, then "enterprise", for a product I like that I'm not using for business or something that I can't live without that's a hard sell ($10/month+).

Now the approach I might suggest would be raise premium to $2/month, if you buy for the year pay $12. Premium, $6/month, $60/yr. enterprise really depends on how an enterprise uses the product, but $50/month might be a little cheap, but again I really don't see the use case for an enterprise (>500 employees) for something like this.

Excited to try this. I work in this one massive repo that Magit just can't handle. Pulling up the Magit status window takes 15-25 seconds on a 2019 15" MBP with an 8-core i9. It's torture because I'm so used to Magit that I hate having to change my workflow for one repo. I hope lazygit is faster than Magit.
A lot of these rules are so arbitrary.
Totally agree with the sentiment in this post. I've been working in VR for about 5 years now and came to this conclusion a couple weeks ago. There simply are better alternatives to mostly every VR application.

Also, I do think the "Killer app" for VR has already been found: education. The US Military, Airforce, and NASA has been using VR for decades for training for example, and will continue to use them. There are several startups working on adapting VR education to other high-end use cases like surgery and enterprise training as well. I think those will still be niche, but will probably make for a couple companies with longevity in the end.

There are some unexplored but interesting pieces to the VR puzzle that also haven't been either invented or put together yet: better hand tracking, better haptics, better eye tracking, better displays, and lighter headsets for example. Potentially some combination of these will result in a 'must have' application for VR. Who can say when this will happen though.
Yes this is relatively straightforward to accomplish via iptables pre&postrouting rules. I think the key insight is to realize that you're basically asking for NAT with DMZ:

Standing and merits are both terms of art. Merits essentially means whether one side wins or not. Standing OTOH is a preliminary matter like jurisdiction. If the court lacks jurisdiction over the defendant or the subject matter of the dispute, they kick the case on jurisdiction without reaching the merits. If the plaintiff doesn't have standing, they kick the case on standing without reaching the merits.

Your confusion is 100% reasonable because there is _conceptual_ overlap between standing and "who wins." For example, one aspect of standing is "injury-in-fact." That means "you suffered a harm recognized by the legal system." If the court says no standing because no injury-in-fact, to a layperson that's similar to saying "stop crying, go home." Which sounds a lot like saying "you lose the case."

I haven't found the Layout system to be lacking or too difficult to deal with. My only issue with it is how verbose it feels sometimes. The operation of layout and layoutData can be a bit confusing.

You can always roll your own layout system using Control setBounds and moveAbove. I have toyed around with a custom layout system on top of SWT that uses Cassowary Constraints (in fact the imgur link in my other comment shows a sample).

As for custom widgets it really depends on how you want to do it since there are so many options. SWT can embed Swing or JavaFX components, so it allows the developer to make custom widgets in whichever tech they feel most comfortable. In this case I would stick with Swing since JavaFx can be a decently sized dependency, where as Swing is built into the jre.

The eclipse nebula project is also a pretty big repository of community made custom widgets. These can be really helpful for figuring out how to implement custom widgets in pure SWT.
https://github.com/eclipse/nebula

I have never implemented automated testing with it though, bummer it was such a hassle.

Also SWT does grant access to a bit more of the underlying OS than Swing does with its org.eclipse.swt.internal.* package. For example I've had to embed a GLFW window inside a SWT window. This is done with the following api in GLFW: https://www.glfw.org/docs/3.3/group__native.html

Using the internal apis you to map GLFWs native window handle to something SWT understands pretty easily. Then it's just a matter of writing the platform specific code to reparent the GLFW window into App which was 3 or 4 lines of code per platform. Then once the GLFW app was inside the SWT App it was a matter of creating a dummy Composite that when resized would overlay the GLFW app. I don't believe this would have been possible in Swing without addition JNI. I know this is a pretty obscure use case, but the internal package can be extremely handy.

Lastly, SWT has a built in browser component that uses the OSs browser or there are optional embedded V8 and webkit packages. The feature set of SWT just blows other Java toolkits out of the water. Unfortunately, this does lead it to be a bit more complicated than the others. I'm sorry about your experience, but give it another whirl sometime maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised.
The Case for One More Child
Corporal punishment doesn't exactly prevent teens hating their parents, either.

The most violent instance I've seen (as opposed to experienced) was within a culture that has very high respect for elders. A 20-something guy's dad beat him repeatedly with a log (3" diameter with the rough bark on doesn't really count as a stick) because the 20-something said something mean to his (the 20-something's) wife. The 20-something needed some kind of reprimand, but I wouldn't accept that kind of violence in trade for higher "respect" for elders.
With all due respect, if you had led with your “footnote”, you wouldn’t have even been able to write such an angry sounding piece. Also, you say that you don’t care who is at fault, but that isn’t how the piece came off. It’s odd you’d say that now.

I quoted you because you hadn’t incorporated this key information into the main text.

What I think is that there are many ill-formed PDFs out there and that supporting the intersection of all of them is essentially impossible.

I also think that it’s every bit the responsibility of a company like ABBY to generate good PDFs. How can it not be? Relying on Preview to be forgiving when you are a maker of PDF generation software is obviously irresponsible.

Why do you think ABBY didn’t announce that this problem existed when the Big Sur betas were available for them to test with?

For what it’s worth, I stopped recommending Fujitsu scanners years ago. For a while I loved mine, but none of the software was well maintained.
More likely it’s the effect of font subsetting.

If you want your PDF to render the same everywhere, you have to embed font information (even if that font is something like Arial, which is available almost everywhere, as ‘almost everywhere’ isn’t ‘everywhere’, and because there are zillions of variations on Arial)

You don’t want to embed entire fonts, though, certainly not if a PDF uses only a few characters of a font.

The memory wise cheapest way of embedding a font leaves out the table that maps glyph numbers back to Unicode code points. If you do that, the PDF reader guesses a 1:1 mapping to ascii/Unicode.

Subletting means you can’t extract all glyphs in a font from a single file, but AFAIK, that’s just a side effect.

I guess this bug drops such a table, or messes up that translation table.
This seems like a pretty typical political response to cyber problems. Props to the MPs that saw a problem here but their unfamiliarity with the problem domain has lead to a pretty shoddy bill.

I agree that price gouging is a problem and that mass-purchasing for that reason is an issue. There are better solutions though, surely.
The module itself is provided, yes. The policies are not really integrated into Debian systems. You can adjust them to work, but it's way more work than using ready ones on a RHEL-like system.
>The PDF opens properly the first time, so de facto it is "valid" as determined by the product that later corrupts it.

While I agree with your main point that, to the user, this looks like a problem with Preview, I think it's actually because Preview is doing something beneficial to open the file which is to ignore "bogus" data. Preview, from what I can tell, ignores additional data that it doesn't expect specifically to allow for opening PDF files where the document data is fine but the metadata is corrupted. The fact that it opens it means nothing since the file would not be able to be opened at all otherwise and Preview is actually doing the user a favor by salvaging it. Once Preview "fixes" it, though, it looks like the OCR pointer is still there but the metadata that contains the plain-text content is not so it's pointing to binary document data instead. Another option is that Preview has "fixed" a font and the mapping is no longer correct which, while I can't really see the text in the image, would be obvious as you'd see words that map to the same corruptions. In either case, Preview's behavior is "correct" and the fact that it was less strict before does not mean that it's now broken - the source PDF is still what was "broken".
