And you are just happy to assert "riots" and leave the discussion off at that?

I mean, I can say "boogieman" too and leave the discussion, pretending to have made a point. It will encourage socialism, or it will destroy freedom, or it will encourage censorship! (Etc. Etc). Come on, just stating a boogieman doesn't help anyone's point of view.

No offense to you personally, but a one sentence assertion is not an argument I'll take seriously. Your contribution to this discussion so far has been less than mine. How about you elaborate your points a bit more?

But whatever, I'll mirror you, so you see how stupid this gets if you just do one sentence assertions of boogiemen.

Your point of view will destroy democracy.

Ball is in your court now. Figure out a way to elevate the discussion. I'm not doing the heavy lifting unless I see some work from you as well.

The problem with most dark-modes is too much contract between the background (very close to black) and the text (very close to white).

In reality, the best dark mode is when you hit the perfect balance between a dark and a light shade of gray that's clearly and easily readable but doesn't seem like you've focus lights pointing at you wherever there's text on a dark page.
That’s how I read it as well, almost too absurd to believe.

SetPassword and the parameters to the function are just username and newPassword.

Fedora won't be changing at all. It's always been the upstream of the next major version of RHEL. Now it will be the upstream of the next major version of CentOS and CentOS will be the upstream of the next minor version of RHEL. By the time stuff makes it to CentOS it will have had lots of time to bake, will have passed RHEL QA, CI, etc.

If you want to read more details about the changes, I wrote a long blog here: https://freedomben.medium.com/centos-is-not-dead-please-stop...
Canada has the living tree doctrine and is similarly liberal with its constitutional interpretation - a document that is already way more watered down than the American.

> I consider RHEL and CentOS to be pretty equal, with CentOS lagging a bit behind. Now they will be pretty equal, with RHEL lagging a bit behind. Packages going to CentOS are packages that would have gone directly to RHEL previously.

There will be another small difference: the number of updates. Just for fun, I started a centos:8 image in podman, installed the package which switches it to centos streams, and ran an update (which by the way partially failed with an error message, IIRC it tried to change /proc in a way podman doesn't like). Then I looked at the version of one of the updated packages before and after the update (IIRC it was bash), and looked at its changelog. There were several releases between these two versions, and I would expect each one of them to appear separately as an update within CentOS Stream.

That is, packages that would have gone directly to RHEL previously will be going to CentOS, but not all packages going to CentOS will be going to RHEL; we will also be getting all the intermediate steps.
I don't know if this was the intention either, but when I see articles like this, I just think we as programmers are such divas sometimes.
The only way to fix it would be through constitutional amendment, wouldn’t it? That would require congress to act and 75% of the states to agree to the amendment. That seems... unlikely.
> mbasic has been unmaintained for a while, in my experience.

true

> Lately, many links (e.g. group posts) point to m.facebook, which means that I just get redirected to the home page.

Conversely, in a browser without js, m.facebook.com redirects to mbasic

> You may need to access the page by clicking a link from another mbasic page in order to have some kind of checksum in the URL.

Good idea! From the main page with the feed, I can see the number of new messages but when I click on the link, I see an error message (same as with direct links).
No, you shouldn't end up with an infinite sum; if you only want to know the series finitely far out, you only need to know finitely many terms.

However, it seems the problem is hard for other reasons. I had assumed, without checking, that they'd put the center of the circle at 3pi/8 because it's a pole. Nope! As best I can tell from some graphing tools, there is indeed precisely one pole in the circle, and it's on the real line, but it's close to the right endpoint; I don't know that it has any nice form. So I imagine that getting any sort of exact series expansion around there -- or even just getting exactly the first few terms, i.e. the first few derivatives there, which would be all you'd need -- would be difficult for that reason.

(Although, the higher the order of the zero, the more initial terms you'd need...)

Edit: Actually, I guess it looks like a zero of order 1? Except that doesn't make sense, because then the top contour integral would be zero...
Very nice article. Thanks for writing it.

If the end result of your work isn't a whitepaper or something similar from which others can learn, then you can call your work "security research".

Bug bounty programs are mainly targeted at bug prospectors.

Thank god for that. Blog posts like the one this thread is about are really valuable to those of us interested in the work of others.
Yeah. This is a fun and cute product, and I could see people enjoying it as a novelty. But it’s not even close to the proper way to learn a language.
I was actually curious about this - the decision mentions in a footnote that qualified immunity exists for just this reason. Is the story that these officials (and their lawyers) just forgot to raise a qualified immunity defense, and therefore couldn't raise it on appeal? Or is there some reason it didn't protect them?

Also want to add to the parent post that "hermeneutic dialectic hegemonic whiteness" is actually just a bunch of keywords and I doubt a competent academic would use that particular phrase.

It's easier for me to imagine, "The hermeneutics of hegemonic whiteness", "The dialectic of whiteness and hegemony", etc.

I have a hard time imagining "hermeneutic" and "dialectic" together because of what those words actually mean. I feel like you'd see one or the other in the kind of phrase / term / sentence we are discussing.

"Hermeneutics" is defined as: "the branch of knowledge that deals with interpretation, especially of the Bible or literary texts." Back in the day people did close reading/analysis of the Bible so they could understand what God meant and called it hermeneutics. Today it can encompass close reading and analysis of literature (since techniques of analyzing one book - the Bible - also work when analyzing other books) or be used in a more general way to talk about a sort of abstracted, looking-at-the-symbols-within approach to analyzing something.

"Dialectic" is literally a dialogue between two people, the term originating with Ancient Greece and Socrate's approach to philosophy. Hegel retconned it to also include a sort of evolution-through-competition where two things (for lack of a better word) logically opposite to each other butt heads and produce a "synthesis" - not unlike the "marketplace of ideas".

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/hegel-dialectics/

"This “textbook” Being-Nothing-Becoming example is closely connected to the traditional idea that Hegel’s dialectics follows a thesis-antithesis-synthesis pattern, which, when applied to the logic, means that one concept is introduced as a “thesis” or positive concept, which then develops into a second concept that negates or is opposed to the first or is its “antithesis”, which in turn leads to a third concept, the “synthesis”, that unifies the first two "

I just tested it. Setting up Chrome Remote Desktop requires installing a separate package which Chrome downloads for you. When it's enabled, there are indeed two always-running processes located under /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/ChromeRemoteDesktopHost.app, which are apparently launched thanks to /Library/LaunchAgents/org.chromium.chromoting.plist. But those weren't running before I set up Remote Desktop; I imagine they were installed as part of the package and didn't exist before.

If I disable Remote Desktop again… well, it doesn't actually delete the LaunchAgents plist or ChromeRemoteDesktopHost.app. That's rude. But it does make the processes stop running.

(To be totally clear, Chrome's updater does run in the background, though not all the time.)
Yea, that's frustrating. I'm a bit surprised browsers don't have built in exceptions for this.
Exactly, gamers have gone from thinking horse armor is stupid to now accepting "only cosmetic" and it's a problem.

Are you going to put better looking items in the game for free if you could charge $20 in the store? Are you going to spend time writing an engaging and rewarding quest line when you can just throw a price tag on it? Games do need content so they won't do this for everything, but the mere existence of a cash shop and MTX is a perverse incentive on development quality. It also often ruins the cosmetic experience of the rest of us, with knights running around wearing angel wings for some weird reason.

That aside, Jim Sterling brought up something I hadn't even considered since I'm too old. Kids getting bullied because their Fortnite characters only have the default skins and they can't afford (or aren't allowed) to buy anything else. "Only cosmetic" indeed!
Regarding Intellij and looking for classes / running test: I think this mostly depends on whether you're casually browsing some random project, or if you're gonna work on the same project for several weeks.

It's fine to try to open the random project in your favorite IDE and see if it just works. If it doesn't, and you just need to figure out what the code does, fix a few lines of code, going back to a text editor, grepping and trusting the CI to run the tests itself is just less overhead.

If you work on the same project for a longer period of time, you can easily justify the upfront cost of configuring your environment properly (and have your class searches and 'Run all tests' running).
This is not about criticism. This is about some moral grandstanding where none is appropriate.

EDIT: The contrast ratio of the author's website (background vs. main copy font color) is ca. 12.29, i.e. almost exactly that of GH dark mode (12.26) and which they claim is too low. So go figure.
I have no problem with funding CS research. It's at least somewhat productive to society. Not hugely, but that's academia for you. Even batting 50% is great compared to 0%.

These kinds of woke gender studies, socialist, racist, fields etc are a joke. I don't accept your implication that only someone inside the nut house are credentialed to evaluate it - if anything those seem like the people least likely to be able to make a clear judgment. These kinds of people are dangerous - they advocate for tearing down the system we have that works pretty well - with no coherent idea of what to replace it with. If they ever got into power we'd all be screwed.

It's my opinion that these fields are a net negative to society as a whole, having nothing to do with science or any kind of semi-scientific discipline, and should not receive public funding. They are merely thinly disguised political ideologies. It's sad what academia has come to.
AFAIK, RE2 does not implement a tagged DFA. It implements a DFA that runs when captures are not required and/or to find a match within the text and then it runs the NFA to record the captures.

I'm aware of Laurikari's algorithm, I'm not aware of it being correct[0]. Also, their algorithm has POSIX semantics, RE2 (and most PLs regex engines) has PCRE semantics.

The extension has no tracking, no database, no user accounts, etc so its totally private for a user.

I, and I suspect most others, really appreciate knowing that. I think adding something along these lines to the Chrome Web Store description would really help as I imagine most people, even those who are not privacy conscious, might be skittish about any potential for their history to leak out.
Interesting take. Front-loading risk is a basic project management strategy, and one that is really difficult to get right with software. The framework presented is way too complicated, and touches a lot of engineering dogma that will make it hard to sell, especially to teams using any variation of agile. If this were a simpler way to teach my teams to take stuff that is high-risk, isolate it, and do the risky part first, I'd love it. (yes, sometimes isolating is impossible, and sometimes something is risky that you think is a sure thing)

> Depending on the language they'll show me all references, take me to the definition or declaration, stack those jumps so as I follow the links I can pop back a level to where I was. All of this is instant.

Vim can do this too and (rip)grepping the code is only needed if you're looking for, you know, text. I have 'gd' mapped to "go to declaration" and 'gr' to "find references". Works across dozens of languages, can be further scripted upon. Basic refactoring (renaming class method in several files) should also work, but I use it so rarely that actually can't testify about it (I use rope bindings for python refactoring but it's usually limited to a single file).

It's not as honed as purposely built 5GB IDE of course. But having one editor for all languages and syntaxes is really nice. Things like VSCode have this one too, but I wouldn't call them and IDE either.

I haven't been using IDEs any meaningful amount of time as I'm not a developer, but if the things you mentioned (go to definition, changing names) are the main reasons for an IDE, one could argue that terminal workflow has substantial benefits, like better understanding of the toolchain, simpler integration with ci/cd tools, endless customization, single tool across languages and other standard cons of CLI tools.

I do, however, find vim without extensions useless for editing code as well.
I actually find their statements to be irrational.

It is absolutely necessary for the courts to decide that the legislature can't give federal agents immunity to violate civil rights. Rebalancing constitutional rights toward the federal government is not a right of congress.

(Congress could only write laws agreeing with this conclussion or they would fail in the supreme court.)
> Cant we make this argument for any level of abstraction?

We could also make the opposite argument for any level of abstraction: can you really say that someone who buys apps for their iPhone and runs them is less of a programmer than someone who actually programs? If programming is just getting a job done, and being a good programmer is just picking the right tool to get the job done...

The real question is pragmatic, not theoretical. Does your dependence on a tool sometimes make easy things impossible or encourage misunderstandings about lower level processes that lead to bugs or inefficiencies? Is it simply too big or expensive to run in all of the places you might want to program? Does the tool make up for that lack of flexibility with increased productivity? Those are real questions that you can ask about any specific tool (including the shell.) It doesn't mean anything to ask them about tools in general, and the idea that sacrifices and benefits must all come out even in the end is just the law of averages.

As someone who's in the area, too - yea it's gross and insufferable since everyone around here's a liberal championing the supposed competence of Democrats.

Yet here we are in the northeast with some of the highest death tolls, and Cuomo with his laughable poster and Close Encounters-like mountain diorama, claiming he's a vision of competence.

They claimed they figured it out with masks and that's clearly not the case, given we're right back where we started with case numbers.

Sorry, the nursing homes got wiped out under your watch. Is this competence?!

I mostly agree with you (minus the cynicism), although CentOS Stream for dev and staging is still a pretty reasonable approach, in fact a good idea as if the next version of RHEL will break your app, you'll find out in development.

If you're already a CentOS/Red Hat shop there will be much easier options than Ubuntu (nothing against Ubuntu, I use it for some things and it's great, but it's pretty different so all your automation will have to be updated for the most part).

If you don't want Stream then I expect Rocky Linux will be available long before end of 2021, and RHEL might be free for your use depending on what they announce in the next month or two.

Not OP, but they mean the standard library, which is the set of functions, objects, and datatypes that come with langauge. That's not really the best way to learn a language, since you'll usually have the documentation at hand if you need it. It's more important to understand the conceptual model the language works with, so that when you want to do something you'll have an intuitive idea of where to look in the documentation and how to phrase your solution. Memorizing the standard library will simply come with usage, and isn't something you need to focus on.
If a bunch of people went out and punched Nazis because you said to, then that meets the standard, right?
I predict that dark mode, like the open office, is a hyped up fad that will eventually be proven to be largely detrimental.

Except in the cases of saving battery on OLED displays or viewing a screen in very low ambient light environments, dark mode is the wrong answer to a problem of an overbright display.

If content on a screen seems too bright, the solution is the turn down the display brightness. This is a choice you can make as your circumstance dictates. Dark mode is a nice option for a few cases, but it should not be forced upon anyone.

There are two cases where dark mode is a really bad thing:

1. You're presenting your content via a projector in a room full of people (and a room full of people will have some ambient light, because safety rules generally prohibit trapping a lot of people in pitch darkness). No matter how many lumens the projector can put out, they will not make your low contrast content as visible as light mode would have been. Most often, the ambient light of the room will completely wash out the low contrast projected image.

2. You're making a screen recording of your content to demo or educate others (Youtube, etc.). The low contrast, colorful text will not compress as accurately as light mode, so the resulting text will be blurrier than if it were in light mode. So it will be harder to read compared to light mode content. Plus, if your viewer happens to be in a bright room or outside, your content will be unreadable. You've just wasted your good effort by limiting your audience.

Stash tabs are pretty much required for serious play though I tend to see this as a free trial with an upgrade to a paid game. The investment is reasonable, and more investment isn't necessarily Pay to Win (More).

Though there is a meme in the community that when a popular skill gets MTX, it's nerfed next league. They made their sale, and it's time to bring a different skill to the forefront to make way for new MTX. There's definitely a risk of this kind of monetary incentive tainting game design choices.
Qualified immunity should only apply if the person is following protocol. If the protocol is wrong, the suite should go against the policy setter (municipality). If the person violated policy, it should be on them. If they neither violated nor followed policy, it should be determined by the courts.

I don't generally agree with capping damages. This could prevent real damages from being reimbursed. Capping intangibles could be ok though.
