Nope, INT is (generally) too specific :)

Sometimes of course, you just want to run something on SIGINT and not on normal exit, SIGHUP or whatever. But maybe the main use case for trap is implementing try/finally logic and you really want it to fire whenever the shell exits, not matter how (to clean up resources like temporary files). Bash's `trap EXIT` mostly does what you want ("run this when the shell exits"), but writing something that behaves this way across shells (and doesn't fire multiple times etc). is amazingly painful.
Very lazy thinking. It doesn’t have types, do introspection, batching, granular caching, access control... I suggest reading the GraphQL introduction post for a start: https://engineering.fb.com/2015/09/14/core-data/graphql-a-da...
The problem is how can they sustain themselves with a living wage. Journalism sucks because no one wants to pay for it.
Overall I agree, and you write a good comment, but:

> And the reality is most driver, even those slightly below average are basically good drivers.

Made me laugh out loud. Not even necessarily because it isn't true (though I'd tend to disagree), but just because I'm the kind of person who constantly complains about shit drivers.

Thanks for the laugh, lol.
I very much meant mathematical projections, but also (by analogy) other kinds of perspective shift where they have enough of the same properties.
> Imagine a US company getting approval for a merger from the US and not getting approval from the EU, what happens then? Can China also grant itself this level of influence over American business?

Both of these are already the status quo even before this law

IL tax rates will have to go to pay for all of the debt for their defined benefit pensions and retiree healthcare.

CA also has that problem, but not to the degree IL has. IL has fewer high income earners to spread the pain around, and higher debt amounts overall.

It’s part of the reason why land is so much cheaper in IL.
We use GSuite SSO with Context Aware Access and other such policies to gate access to the browser. So that means that we could give out access via CloudShell, and now those commands are gated by those same policies. That's really nice from a security perspective.

In our case, since we do development in a ChromeOS environment, and the browser is relatively isolated from the Linux VM, it also likely prevents classic SSH-hijacking.
In mice!

Is Star Fox with the Super FX chip also considered cheating?
Perhaps just by default, or a miscommunication. FWIW I’ve had WebRender force enabled on Sway (Wayland i3 clone) since FF 78 or so.
In the last six years, PHP’s execution time has more than halved, the community has grown immensely, and there’s now a popular drive to improve PHP codebases (old and new) with insights gleaned from static analysis.

Yes. As someone who has dived into and out of PHP multiple times the past 20 years, I can say that the modern PHP ecosystem is excellent, but the challenge remains the same: what most people encounter is 'legacy' PHP sitting in many-years-old code bases and websites, and so (quite reasonably) form their opinion accordingly.

In another discussion on philosophy someone mentioned a principle they didn't have a name for, but applies here as well. Their example was that you can ethically look at a license plate and memorize it, but if you get a network of people at strategic positions of a town to meticulously write down all license plates 24/7 and collect this in a central place, that becomes an unethical/illegal privacy violation.

Enough quantitative change becomes qualitative. Ice is just a bunch of water molecules just a bit differently organized. Graphite is worthless, even though it's the same atoms as diamond, but differently organized.

Many people joining together into a corporation can become its own thing, acting as if it had "goals" on its own that may be not in line with the goals of the individual participants. Corporations are real entities separate from individuals. It's emergence. It's a "socially constructed" entity but no less real.

Yuval Harari describes this very convincingly in Sapiens.
Your cat sounds really cool!
> - how is it acceptable to run off github for a project that wants to encourage authoring sites on a supposedly federated medium (the web)?

You may have a point here in reality, but "technically" it should be very easy to push to multiple backends (GitLab, for example). So I could see lock-in to GitHub not ever being more than a hypothetical problem.
California makes money on cap gains taxes as well as corporate income taxes. And likely the personal income taxes won't change.

Complaining about dev teams moving to texas is like complaining about goods being manufactured in China. It's a net positive for the whole world, plus competition will improve the Vally and SF just as much as it improves individual companies and products.
Thanks for the detailed reply! I am thinking of contacting the university mental health counsellor :)
Machines don't make you stop doing slavery. If anything, the forces go the other way: slavery was dying in the US at the end of the 1700s (slavery had been legal in the North too but was being abolished slowly) then the cotton gin made it suddenly hugely profitable in the South and gave it a big boost.
They'll both be as fast as your implementation; but GraphQL will most likely have some additional overhead, likely offset with caching.

GraphQL isn't a magic bullet; you still need to implement/define how the data is returned.
The trick is, will those voting for taxes to be raised do the same when they relocate elsewhere? California is not a dictatorship. The people of the state have voted for this situation.

I realize that not everyone in California votes and thinks the same. Those leaving the state might not be reflective of the voting patterns of the state as a whole but doubt this migration out of California is impactless on the places those leaving go to.
So you're saying that Malaysia and Indonesia should become tax havens?

The massive corruption and whatnot in these places is precisely what allowed Singapore to thrive (apart from being lucky enough to be located at a strait). Singapore essentially eats away at their GDP to sustain itself. Almost all of the tech scene in Singapore is largely talented folks from Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, India, etc. moving away because SG has a lower tax rate and a very lighthanded bureaucracy.

If corruption in these places was to vanish and doing business made easy (via free zones for instance), Singapore would return to stagnation.
I concur with this comment about social anxiety. After incorporating some mindfulness meditation into my daily routine, I have noticed a stark decline in how much I replay conversations (as per another comment here) and how much I rehearse potential future conversations (which never go the way you rehearse! Off topic: Mike Tyson’s quote is good here: “Everyone’s got a plan until they get punched in the face.”). I think both of these acts (past rumination and future rehearsal) are big parts of social anxiety that lessen with mindfulness.

As for having imaginary conversations with real people I know that are neither repeats of past conversations nor rehearsals of future conversations, I think there may have been a slight decline but I didn’t do a ton of this prior.

TL;DR: I think mindfulness meditation helps with this.
There is a world of difference between what you imagine and creating a digital likeness of someone else, that will almost certainly then be distributed. Comparing the to and comparing the banning of them to thought crimes is incredibly dishonest. And yes, people do have a right to their image and likeness, those rights are protected by law.
It's sort of meta-defeatism when your resource is literally how to write html and your documentation avoids using it.
I'm not running any extensions, so that can't be the problem (unless lack of an ad blocker is killing performance)
I really honestly think there's something to this. Playing with others in VR has such a different feeling. I was once in a game where the whole team got blown up by a grenade, and then the next game we're all friends joking and laughing with each other in the kind of way that has never happened to me in a pancake game.
Illinois voters defeated an initiative to implement graduated income tax in the November 2020 election:

Agreed the state has financial issues, but it remains unclear if the upper middle class will bear the responsibility.
Can you explain what you mean? You don't "use AWS CloudShell on an instance". This isn't a service meant to be used as a bastion to SSH into your resources or something that is installed on your instances. This is primarily an addition to the AWS Management Console interface that allows you to run AWS CLI commands from your browser.
Then how does it exist? Journalism has been a full-blown larp masking elitist propaganda for like 6 decades.
Saw a comment on YouTube about implementing this expansion chip as an sd2snes firmware. If the expansion chip interface was standardized would be cool to see Homebrew using this. Kind of like byuu’s MSU-1 chip.
The problem is just as much people who pay for it if you side with their politics. NY Times subscriptions are at all time highs with their cash flow stream being something like 95% liberal ideology payers. They are very much aware of who keeps the lights on.
It’s only a good thing if higher property taxes lead to investments in government services and infrastructure.

It’s a bad thing if higher property taxes go towards paying down disproportionate levels of debt.
It's amazing the lengths the medical industry will go to avoid simply giving patients their digital medical history on a flash drive. And here I thought requiring a faxed request, arbitrary waiting period, printing the records onto dead trees, scanning them back in, and burning a CD to mail made for a large moat!

"We can't trust you to keep vital information about your own body, so we'll literally just print it into your skin in a way you can't even read". Is it possible to be any more paternalistic?
> One problem, particularly in the US, is that portion sizes are so large.

Portion size was the key for me. I stopped feeling heavy and lethargic after pasta meals once I started weighting my pasta before eating.
This made a world of difference on my state after eating and, by contrast, helped me realise how heavy I usually felt after eating (80g of uncooked pasta seem to be a good balance for me).
Aww man. WebRender is really making it a lot nicer to use, and lowering the CPU usage to single digits. This is excellent.
I would consider myself pretty lonely, and I do have a very prominent inner monologue. A normal day I have dozens of imagined debates, presentations or conversations on varying topics. Some particular topics have been on the docket for years at a time, before enacting them in real life (finally clearing them away).

The intensity seems to vary based on my mood and wether I'm alone. I went on a week long roadtrip with some friends, and realised after a day or two that I wasn't thinking nearly as much. It was as if I couldn't. Even if I wasn't with them for a few hours. My regular dark hole of "I'll just work for 50 years and then die alone" was not accessible, even if I tried.

I've also had almost the same exact feeling when on a pretty strong acid trip, not being able to hear my inner monologue. That time it was more scary, but also really interesting and relaxing. Microdosing LSD brought most of that feeling back (not sure if placebo though), making me more focused and less sad.

I'm guessing getting to that state is a part of what mediation is all about, but I haven't really figured that out yet.
I haven't used it in a while, but I remember Kate as having very good vi keybindings (maybe not over-the-top in features, but reliable and not crashing is more than even several big-name editors can claim).
That's hardly data to talk about most people in the world.

The AB5 mess is just emblematic. I'm a "big goverment" supporter, but not so into the totally incompetent govt. The number of loopholes that had to be carved out of this law was ridiculous.

What happened to good infrastructure, education, safety, health care, raise the federal minimum wage etc?

uBO just does what the filters in the filter lists dictate, so when you see specific websites broken as a result of uBO enforcing filters, best is to report these cases to the list maintainers so that this can be fixed for all.

Former journalist here. There are very few details about the methodology used in this survey, so I don't think I have much to say about the validity of the poll results.

But regarding whether journalism is more dangerous now than it was 10 years ago (around the time I left journalism) ...

There are some journalists who cover breaking news and put themselves in harm's way, and for them, the danger to their health and safety will always be a part of the job.

But for the vast majority of journalists, the biggest danger of their job is the business environment, which has been on a downward trajectory for decades, and the distrust of the media, which has picked up over the past five years.

In other words, if you look at journalists as a whole, the vast majority of whom are toiling away for low salaries at media outlets that are struggling to turn a profit, the biggest threat is not that they're going to get physically hurt but that they won't be able to make ends meet, or won't have a job next month.

I have spent nearly 20 years keeping tabs on proposed new business models that might be able to allow journalism to flourish again -- worker cooperatives, benefactor-supported models, independent bloggers, etc. -- but unfortunately so much of the existing journalism infrastructure is tied up in mega-corps, and it's going to take a LOT of work to act against that momentum.
Isn't this about perception which anyone being surveyed will have.
As someone who's worked with both approaches, at all levels of the stack (both backend and frontend), I think the paper (at least, its abstract) is missing the point.

While I do "feel" faster when working with GraphQL, I think the main benefit is that it abstracts away the busywork of transferring data between frontend and backend.

Writing a backend becomes more about describing what data is available, on what terms, how it fits together, and the operations you can do on it (mutations). Gone is the busywork of writing routes, handling CRUD in a zillion slightly different ways, etc.

On the frontend, Apollo-client lets me just write my app, not having to handle data-fetching, loading & caching for the zillionth time. I need an additional field? Just add it to the query! No need to get everyone involved.

Of course, there are traps you can easily fall into with Apollo's caching, N+1 queries on the backend, etc. But in my experience, while you do have to "drop down a level" sometimes to fix these, you spend most of your time at the "higher level".

These things have overhead and access control is more difficult to reason about and implement with resolvers and nested query resolving.
From introspection alone, I think that people that rarely feel lonely are that way because they have a richer imagination or "inner world". Does your aphantasia prevent you from day-dreaming, for instance?

I would be curious to know if "lone wolves" exhibit the same brain features as those who feel alone (which would suggest that they are actually lying to themselves?) or if they exhibit different features, or if they are the same as people who can feel lonely but don't because they are "socially satisfied".
In my experience this suggests one or a few bad actors. They aren't necessarily malicious, just ignorant or negligent. Something like a one-off script someone wrote to scrape the endpoint, and said script escaped into the wild, perhaps through a blog post, and was copied by others. One or more of those ended up deploying the script somewhere with the capacity to generate a lot of requests repeatedly, perhaps as a cron job.
Exactly! Either developer laptops are part of the network that has access to lots of very sensitive data (and get treated accordingly) or they aren't. There's no sane middle ground where developers have infinite free reign and root on their laptops while also doing dumps from production databases of PII.

There are a lot of situations where people tolerate less sane practices because they are convenient, but this isn't a good strategy.
I have them all the time, not just now but through my life. And I haven't felt "lonely" (in the sense of this article).
Same but I've disabled its updates since like a year.
Correct. I wish a fund were created for Firefox, like the one for Thunderbird.

I'd love to give towards Firefox but have no desire to fund Mozilla mismanagement.
Am I missing something, or was this only about implementing queries with a fixed backend?

What's the numbers on implementing these? In different languages other than javascript? Last time I looked, implementing graphQL with django was pretty janky and limited.
forget about that - they're doing a cryptocurrency!
Arrays in shells generally suck (and behave quite different between different shells, e.g. zsh arrays are nothing like bash arrays), so I hope they don't make it into posix. OTOH, process substitution is a perfectly elegant and nice feature that fits well into the original design of bourne shell, removing an obvious limitation of pipes. It also behaves pretty much the same across shells that have it, so it should be much easier to standardize.
Nice work Tim! What tech stack did you use to build this?

I don't think if it is normal but I have imaginary conversations with friends for long time and before that I used to have conversations with imaginary friends. I also have normal talk with friends every once in a while. The way I see is that these imaginary conversations drastically reduce my needs to actually talk to people. Also IMO once I have has enough conversations with people I pretty much know what they will talk about next time in general unless they have some personal news to deliver. So in Claude Shannon's sense total information content is very low and I do not even find them funny to continue talking.

Now it all may be odd sounding thing but it seems okay for me as I do not look to confirm to any group nor looking for anyone to confirm to my ideas.
Change focus when you catch yourself ruminating.

To change focus you must have a goto list of things that have a track record of leading your mind to some place healty and good.
There could be something related to FAN thresholds that resides in BIOS directly thus starting using GPU just slightly over some minimal limit might raise FAN speeds significantly and not be related to temperature raise as there is some inertia between temperature readings and real temperature inside GPU core.

I'm also experiencing FAN noise raise on my Ryzen APU based laptop.
Regarding decoupling GraphQL from HTTP - do we need this? cause are there plans to use GraphQL on different protocols like raw TCP? Isn't GRPC better for raw TCP?

When we are using HTTP, diluting HTTP standards - eg. using POST for both creating & updating, returning HTTP 200 for errors seem to be hacky in GraphQL.

I always found REST to be more simple & straight forward. With progression in HTTP itself - HTTP/2, HTTP/3 etc., chatty behavior of REST may not be expensive.

Implementing roles & permissions in GraphQL tricky. We need clear schema definitions to control it. Huge learning curve as well.
I'm not so pessimistic. I think we can say pretty confidently that Ehrlich was wrong. As was Malthus. Human ingenuity counts for something. And I don't understand how an economy works on anything other than a "productivity system."
It's interesting to consider this within the context of societal rights of passage involving extended solitude such as the walkabout in Aboriginal culture. You basically have a situation where the community invested in an activity that grew this part of the brain. I'm wondering if it also explains deification of animals in many primitive cultures where solitude was more common because there were fewer people and more opportunities for solitude.
Thanks for the detailed reply! Will check up on mindfulness meditation.
So I'm reading a book called "Empire of Liberty" which covers the 1790's up unto 1812 I believe (not done yet). Anyway, this is not a new problem. In fact, 'seditious libel' was a totally different concept back in the 1790's - we actually have more freedom of speech than before. Without going to much into that - the Alien & Sedition Acts were aimed at this type of newspaper rags. There were many newspapers and operaters that were foreign born, or foreign influenced, peddling influence in the young United States. Part of the motivation of the Federalists was due to a widespread fear of imminent war with France. France and the United States were in the midst of the "Quazi-War" which well, wasn't exactly a war. Democratic-Repubicans (think jefferson and other extremely liberty minded politicians and journalists) were supporters of the French Revolution, and many wanted a similar revolution in the States to remake American society.

Not so many were prosecuted under these acts, but many did flee or change their tone.

This all to say that the influence of newspapers is not a novel issue, and the issue remains alive today, especially amidst the current wave of very Yellow Journalism.

Anyway. I thought it was interesting - I may have botched some of the details.
Consider the problem of predicting an agent's binary choice. If an agent follows a strategy of always choosing the opposite of what the algorithm predicts, then the algorithm's prediction will always be incorrect. A "true future predicting algorithm" cannot correctly predict the actions of certain kinds of agents, as long as those agents can observe the prediction.
Yes and no. People said the same thing about wireless phones 20 years ago.

Solar in a country with poor infrastructure means distributed generation becomes possible. Most places in the US have robust power grids, but even then conservation and point generation is the cheapest way to add marginal capacity!

That should be a guiding star of policy. Electricity is an almost magical force that opens doors.

IMO people are people. I’m fortunate to live in the US and be able to have the education and opportunity to use my abilities in a productive way. My grandfather was probably smarter than me in IQ terms, but drove a garbage truck and shoveled coal to support his family. (He taught himself calculus on that truck to help my uncle study.)

There are millions of people like my grandpa. If we figure out how to elevate them to their potential, we all benefit.
This would have been great to have last week. I was walking a client through deploying a project I wrote over a video call.

But before we could get started he had to:

- install the AWS CLI

- stop screen sharing while I walked him through creating an access key/secret key from the web console

- walk him through aws configure

start the screen share back

- install the SAM CLI

- install jq

If he had used this. He could have just run

git clone
aws s3 mb $artifactBucket
sam package....
sam deploy

And all of the resources would have been created.
