It’s crazy to me how unreliable and slow the work on github actions has been. Their self hosted runners didn’t even support custom labels for like 8 months. And for at least a year you couldn’t trigger actions from pull requests from forks - even for private, in-org repos.

It’s truly been one of my worst experiences with any CI.
My first long term programming job was writing COBOL code to replace some Autocoder programs. I think they were ashamed of the Autocoder stuff though. The only time I saw any of it was during final acceptance for the last program in the system. I couldn’t duplicate the output from the previous system. It was eventually traced to the fact that an object code patch had been applied to the old program, since they had stopped paying license fees for the compiler. This patch was documented by a hand-written note on the official program listings.

I can't find anything in Google, but if this was a game show and I had to guess, I'd say that the modeling is/was done in FORTRAN, but the reporting was done with COBOL.

Likewise, some sources for audio damage from noise canceling would be great. I wear headphones 8+ hours a day for work. Around two months ago I upgraded my 10-year-old (cheap, wired) Sennheisers to some mid-range wireless ones with noise canceling, they're a bit heavier but otherwise just as comfortable and noise canceling is awesome for helping me focus. I've never had any negative effects from either (although I'm careful to keep the volume down).
Sorry. Yes. You're right. I had a very raw experience around this very recently, and it was fresh (and painful) on my mind.

Aside from the other comments about the NATURAL language, that time period is pretty much exactly when MicroFocus was releasing their new "COBOL for Windows" product, which I can see satisfying your "shit sandwich" prediction. :)
I have never worked with cobol. The coolest thing about mainframes I heard was that you could pull out a broken cpu (without stopping it) and plug in a new one. No idea if it’s true. There are projects like:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GnuCOBOL

That eats COBOL and spits out C. I am surprised no one has written a eat cobol and spit out python/Java. I know it’s a weird-ish language that is meant to read like text. I guess it must be hard. Getting away from legacy code is no fun.
I think you are right. `strlcpy` is only supposed to copy `n-1` bytes from src to dest.

Frank self-expression -- what a lot of people think they mean by honesty -- isn't a virtue.

One can be frankly horrible as easily as one can be forthright.

What most people actually value is probably better referred to by terms like "fidelity" or even "trust." We care most how accurate and forthcoming people's statements are when we're putting together agreements on how to behave and cooperate. On some occasions (like, say, court proceedings) we need to gather a picture of reality and we ask people for fidelity as witnesses.

None of these situations are about frank self-expression.

FSE does matter in some situations, usually involving personal relationships, though even there most people eventually learn that has its limits too. For example, unless you have an unusual relationship with your SO, you might be cautious about frankly expressing any passing attraction you have to other people.

Most people should be cautious about FSE. And that caution, as it turns out, is a productive systemic warning. You have in your head a model of other people. It's not perfectly accurate any more than your probably not particularly well-formed opinions are, but both may have some merit, and the former tells you something about the problems of the latter that you should probably listen to.

There are people who don't have to listen to that as much. You can probably think of examples you've observed. They seem to have certain privileges in certain contexts relative to you which enable them to get away with behavior you find distasteful or even wrong.

It's likely enough that could be you with only minimal social checks on FSE.

If "afraid to express yourself honestly" means "fear of violent retribution", it's possible things have gone off the rails. If "afraid to express yourself honestly" means "I feel like there might be consequences to my social standing if I frankly express my thoughts and feelings without polite moderation", then it might be that what you value is the privilege of indulgent expression without challenge.
Actually that comment [focusing on efficiency, asserting lack of environmental conditions, and saying it would be useless under hyperbolic conditions] was justified...While this research result is very interesting as a demonstration of what can be done, it is very unlikely that this is a path that can lead to the best way of capturing solar energy.

I think it wasn't justified, because of its 3 complaints, 2 were incorrect (the paper did include reasonable environmental conditions, and the process is useful), and the third omitted that the key to the paper was not its solar to hydrogen efficiency but a novel process that could show how to increase STH in more viable catalysts.

So in the contrary i think my description of the comment as lazy and skeptical was both justified and totally correct.
> This means the airport needs to designate one part of the terminal (or build a new one) for U.S. departures which is sealed off past the U.S. Immigration checkpoint.

All Canadian international airports are set up this way, and frankly it sucks. The worst part is you need to budget quite a lot of extra travel time before your flight since you need to clear customs before boarding the plane. Less terrible but still annoying, since there's a separate terminal just for US departures, if your party is going to different (US & non-US destinations) you have to split up.
On the topic of polite society, please be mindful that the word “entitlement” is often used to attack and harm others emotionally.

It might be more inclusive to chose something like “expectation” or “assumption”.

This is false. Most code emitted by modern compilers incurs no overhead for exceptions except for when they are actually thrown. This is a historical rule that is no longer true.

Even so, the blame is not with the "stupid", especially when stupid seems to be a catch-all definition for all kinds of reasonable behavior, including acting in one's own interest, and not having all the information available before making a decision. Sorry, I cannot support elitism, and I don't have a better definition on-hand of what I'm seeing here, so let's call it even with "stupidity" ok? I blame the thieves and grifters.
When the conservative side and police are cheering on or doing little to deflate the guys with guns staring down people with spray paint, it’s a bit disingenuous to say people hate others just due to political titles. Behavior seems to matter.

“Drill baby drill” is conservative? Do we need to go through the policy list? Rhetoric and behavior are obviously unaligned in contemporary conservatism. Conservatives suspended Habeus corpus under GW.

Your perspective here certainly is light on substance. A conservative semantic effort.

Over time discourse in the mainstream changes. Wasn’t it Barr that said whoever wins writes history? Progress always seems to win.

Also, it’s a bit myopic to go on about how progressives are all up in your grill while also saying people are afraid to express themselves. Sounds like progressives are expressing themselves?

Mostly at work or with strangers, I'll say what ever the fuck i want with my friends and with my family at this point.

Like at work, we have an inclusive language thing now.(Like words are banned) I wont ever share my opinion about that with coworkers. Same with strangers, some people are unhinged enough to rant and rave in public, i wont share my thoughts on anything until I know whether you are going to have a rational response or not, and i keep it to my self to avoid interjections from people who are passionate enough to complain to a stranger. Like some of my surf spots are filled with regulars who are vocal conspiracy right wing political people and let everyone know it.

Isn't that only due to the insanely strict safety regulations nuclear plants need to adhere to? After the Fukushima disaster, France, Germany, and China stopped nuclear operations or added more regulation that increased the cost of operating their power plants (despite, of course, nuclear being on average safer than fossil fuel plants, and even hydroelectric having a bigger death toll).
I think the whole DEI movement is a great example. It's easy to say "we should hire a POC or woman for this position", it's not ok to say "we should not hire based on gender or race".
thanks for the reply

i guess what i was thinking was, if there was a ui, with a play/pause icon, and playing the video should cause the play icon to switch to a pause icon (because video is now "playing" so we want to be able to click it and "pause" the video) how do we represent that in a purely functional way?

since at any "timeless" instant, t1 vs t2 is just a frame1 vs frame2 issue at the language level (?), how in a purely functional world, would we determine that video is indeed playing and that icon should be swapped while playing vs not?

does user-interactive systems imply that there must inherently be some impurity?
Well, yes. That seems obvious.

I guess I was more wondering if running in a busy loop like that was a thing people did on embedded hardware since from my very minor experience with Arduino it is basically just a big while loop.

Yeah I totally agree. I get that people find them uncomfortable, but passive IEM's to me are way more comfortable than a heavy over-ear set which puts pressure against the sides of my skull. The noise canceling is also amazing without any electronics. Only trick is getting really good drivers in such a small space but IEM manufactures have been doing this for decades with great results.
This is because your device is either required to have a MFI chip in it, or you have a common device already in the home with a MFI chip that it can communicate with.

My company was one of the first to have a HomeKit thermostat, and the biggest barrier was the hardware requirement.

>Were any of the actors caught up in a scandal that should make me now dislike the movie? People may judge that I like a movie with X terrible person.

I think that's fundamentally a side-effect of the "regulate decency by voting with your wallet and advocating others do the same" mantra of neoliberalism and libertarianism.

People's attitude towards this has always bugged me - "if you really believed that, you'd put your money where your mouth is", and yet somehow e.g. vegans (no, I'm not vegan) are the butt of jokes instead of held up as people who are morally responsible with their spending.

Like, which is it? It seems to me like people adore the concept, but love to hate on any actual people who meet that concept.
It's alarmingly much more common than it used to be.
I agree with what you are saying, but there is a huge gap between a pedestal and the advocacy of evidently false and polarizing dichotomies -- Gulag or conservative capitalism, pick one; terrorists attack us because they hate our freedom etc, etc.

Given the yard stick / metric you are measuring him with there would be teeming millions who would qualify -- anyone who is capable of a half decent parenting. In the kind of life advice he offers, Peterson feels quite unremarkable.

It's funny because the best passive noise canceling IEMs are basically ear plugs with drivers in them. Blocks background noise as well as ANC but only weigh a few grams.
It's not really necessary for that case. At the level of taking over control, you're attacking a specific system, so you need to know what it is and can provide specific payload. For the later phases, the dropper knows where it's running so it can request a specific version of the virus as well.

So there's nothing stopping multi-os viruses right now.
Thanks.

FWIW, that's what the default keybindings configure.

You can create your own input.conf to override this - ^F for `audio-delay`: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mpv-player/mpv/master/etc/...

You can also specify --audio-delay (^F in https://mpv.io/manual/master/) which accepts fractions of seconds, but that makes for much slower iteration.
> how experimental Sega were at the time.

another way of looking at it is that they were all over the place and wasting engineering resources to deliver marginal initiatives for obsolete hardware (sega CD, mega 32X, etc...), instead of focusing on their core console business. By the time they came up with the Dreamcast they were so much in debt they had no runway to survive as a hardware manufacturer despite very encouraging sales in the first year.
I mentally chop adult age groups at 18, 21, 25, 40, 65, and 90. Within those groups, I don't really conceptualize any difference. Two clarifications: (1) this is talking about a single person, not a group, and (2) it's really more based on behavior than age; my grandma is in her eighties, but is so mentally sharp that I think of her in (the top end of) the 40-65 group.
I used to work for a “poorer” state a while back and made a wage lower than most people here could possibly imagine. The stereotypes about good benefits were also rather overrated. Pay bands were bureaucratic and raises (even minor CoL ones) were rare. And ofc, there was literal politics invovled. Outside that, the job itself wasn’t particularly worse than an average corporate gig.
Your comment is burried below dozens more optimistic views that life "should" exist and evolve intelligence, but I like your take. We are so wildly improbable that most of us can't even fathom it. That our minds exist at all is so impossibly unlikely that by all accounts we should not exist.

For most I think that we are hear seems to indicate some inevitably but I like that we are an anomaly, we shouldn't exist, the we die.

There is an argument that one instance of life evolving does imply there should be much more. I personally don't believe this though, though it is a valid argument. There is a counter argument too.

The common argument in favor of more life is that the probability of life evolving is some very small number, such that there must be a very large number of opportunities for life to evolve in order for life to actually evolve. At the same time, there are a large number of opportunites given the size of the universe. Given that there is presumably no relation between the "small" probability for life to evolve and the "large" number of opportunities in the universe, we don't expect these two numbers to conspire to be near the same size, which is what would have to happen for just one life to evolve. Rather, we expect there should be lots of life that evolved in different places or that the probability that any life evolved at all is extremely (vanishingly) small. So if this argument is correct and we know of one life form, we should expect many more in the universe. (Not to imply we would necessarily be able to find them.)

There is one potential problem with this argument. It assumes there is just one universe. If there are many universes then it is possible that life did not evolve in almost all of them. In universes where life did evolve, odds are it happened just once. And of course, that life (us, for example) would see that univese and the life that evolved there, however improbably that would be.

I read a saying "You know an argument is wrong if it invokes quantum mechanics." But I'll do it anyway. Some educated people believe quantum mechanics works this way - the univese effectively branches into parts that are essentially distinct (referred to as different universes too). It is not as outlandish as it may seem. The whole reason quantum computers are supposed to be powerful is that different things happen in parallel.

You don't have to buy the quantum mechanics part. If there are multiple universe for whatever reason then the probability argument above is not valid.

I do want to add one thing. The number of "opportunities" for life in our universe grows linearly with each dimension in the universe. (Lets just say to the fourth power of the size of the universe.) On the other hand, the size of probability grows/shrinks exponentially. So it is not hard to imagine between the two of these numbers, the exponential one wins.
