Interesting story, but even if you had 100% code coverage in your test, you probably would have forgotten to add a test for this problem. A good test coverage is useful, but does not guaranty to catch all the possible problems. It's nice to read that you added some checks to avoid repeating this error in the future.
So you believe that the crowd protesting and at the Capitol were all white supremacists?
Paul Le Roux as awful as he is for the stuff he has done, is truly a rare breed. Built E4M, a prototype to Truecrypt, was his first cryptographic software he put out. Using his knowledge, he was able to catapult himself to the lucrative international drug/weapon smuggling market.

Finally, the Australian fellow who claimed he was Satoshi has been trying to unlock several million bitcoins from genesis that supposedly belonged to Paul before his capture and incarceration.

If you follow this theory, essentially a money laundering drug lord coded the bitcoin, for unknown purpose but we can probably take a guess.

Bitcoin's biggest utility isn't for small individual traders rather it is a vehicle for laundering massive amounts of money. Snuff films with children, drugs, humans, and other depraved ways of making money are the entirety of bitcoins usage.

> New York Times, which published articles characterizing American democracy as really being a slaveocracy founded in the 1600s -- a theme roughly as defensible as American democracy falling to election fraud

You can't seriously be equivocating between a conspiracy theory about last year's elections that was engineered to undermine the results, and some (supposedly) hyperbolic thinkpiece about the real historical atrocities that were perpetrated or endorsed by the government and/or socioeconomic elite.

Between widespread protests with broad policy goals mixed with rioting, versus a single convention of camera-smashing gallows-erecting extremists that physically came after the entire convened body of the U.S. Congress, with the singular aim of flipping a federal election in defiance of all law, courts, and reason.

Is that not the literal definition of a coup?

Calling these "similar" (or "lawful, expressive conduct") requires a lot of specious rhetoric right now.
That’s not what your article says lol. Do you have another source for your outlandish claim?
I agree - it doesn’t have some generally accepted meaning.

Some people seem to mean ‘no police at all’ and some seem to mean ‘don’t task the police with trivial stuff’.

But why then would the right assume it means the former?

And since we’re talking about optional things:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/style.css" />
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale = 1.0,maximum-scale = 1.0" />

Trailing slashes on HTML tags are useless. They’re allowed on void elements, for XML compatibility, but are by definition simply ignored. I recommend against including them, because they’re simple visual noise, and misleading because they don’t actually close tags—you can only use them on on elements that are defined as having no children.

(Note that I say HTML tags; on foreign elements—meaning inline SVG and MathML—trailing slashes do make tags self-closing, XML-style.)

Also since I’m writing, that viewport declaration is wonky. It should have device-width, and it should not have maximum-scale which is user-unfriendly.

I ported Ultima Online to Android and iOS devices. It's a really old MMO at this point but still has a niche following. New community shards are still popping up and some of them (such as UO Outlands) have high populations.

I opened up a Patreon for the project in hopes that the community and the shard owners would support me enough to keep working on it but I never got past 100 euros per month in pledges. The app does have a stable userbase of around 1000 users though.

Even though it wasn't a financial success by any measure, I'm really proud to have brought my childhood favourite game to new platforms.

I agree about the resume-driven development aspect, and I think it's great to use a personal project as an outlet for experimentation! Too many people do stuff like that at the expense of unnecessary complexity in production systems.

I'll grant that collectively an engineering team might decide to overengineer a simple, noncritical service to get production experience with a technology or two that they are targeting for future adoption. Nothing wrong with that, and there's nothing wrong with making room in the schedule for engineering experiments to test out new technologies.

Managers and the rest of the business, for their part, need to understand the need for experimentation so it can be done honestly and not under the guise of other work.
I think it should be reasonably defensible. It's not just a failure of the architecture though. The tactics used were mostly ineffective. Defensive forces were positioned thinly with few real blockades. I saw one instance of police blocking an entrance through sheer mass and it was effective. The cops could have been done the same in the interior hallways instead of giving up their spread out weak positions. This would have prevented the use of firearms.

If you can stomach it, I ask everyone to watch the full lead up to the shot. It is an absolute failure of policing. Start at 37:20 on https://banned.video/watch?id=5ff6857e00bac0328da8e888 and yes it's NSFL (shot at 39:10).

But SPARC v9 (UltraSPARC) was already 64-bit (44-bit effective) at the time. There must have been more to it than just 64-bit addressing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship

"Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information, on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient." Censorship can be conducted by governments, private institutions, and other controlling bodies."

Anything that "suppresses" or controls speech is censorship, no matter who does it. That's the definition of the word.
Do you think "disarm the police" would be going better than "defund the police"?

(I suspect it would actually be quite a bit more incendiary.)

Communication (even at length) is hard. We all bring different baggage to every attempt to speak and listen. It's probably ~impossible once you mix in uncharitable readers/listeners.

I can't speak for the campaigners, but I suspect "reform the police" won't cut the mustard for them because it's the sort of thing the establishment says before it fails to deliver meaningful change. "Today I'm calling for the establishment of a bipartisan commission on police reform", and its short imperative slogan--"reform the police"--could be an inspiring message if people had the impression that is how the gears sound when they're spinning up to change something.

But it's not very fair to insist people should be chanting a demand that seems to translate to "promise to look busy for a few months so that we'll go home and hope we don't notice when you don't solve the problem."

I'm not at all interested in mob justice (going in either direction). But still, comparing this idea to McCarthyism is sneaking toward Godwin's Law territory.

There's a pretty big gulf between a relatively abstract set of political and economic opinions, and an ideology that views some groups of people as sub-human and inherently criminal, and specifically seeks to disenfranchise them. One can quite reasonably make the case that individuals who hold opinions along those lines are temperamentally incapable of protecting and serving their community. Their whole community.

The Chicago Public Library had a gallery documenting victims of torture by the Chicago Police Department. Plenty of photographs, making it quite clear that it was almost exclusively a thing that White cops did to Black and Latinx citizens. It's hard to see how we as a society can hope to eliminate state-committed atrocities like that if we're not even willing to weed the ideology that produces them out of the paramilitary wings of our local governments.

"Reform the police" has long been the tagline for ineffective measures. We've been trying to do it for decades; "defund the police" is in part a response to the reform argument.

"Disarm the police" would receive the exact same pearl clutching responses.
DMA is more like a bulk memory transfer operation usually facilitated by specific hardware that generally is asynchronous and requires manual synchronization. Usually hardware devices perform DMAs of memory regions, like a memcpy() but between physical memories.

Memory mappings established via mmap() more so set up the kernel to map in pages when faults on accesses occur. In this case you're not calling into the kernel, the TLB is generating an interrupt when you go to read an address referring to memory that's not yet paged in, which the kernel than handles and restores control flow to userspace without userspace being any wiser (unless userspace is keeping track of time). Handling page faults is faster than the syscalls involved in read() calls, it would seem.

I think you're misunderstanding the ACLU's arguments here. They're fairly consistently pro free-speech, mostly regardless of what that means. There's not much handwringing from them about "bad" speech because they're OK with bad speech being out there. I don't think they're fans of Trump, as their statement makes clear, but they're worried about the precedent that banning him sets.

No administration ever "reigns in" the powers of the administration. This is always a priority and talking point of the party out of power, regardless of party.

> trying to unlock several million bitcoins from genesis

The genesis block only holds 50 BTC in reward which due to a technicality cannot be spent. And as Yoda might say, spend or spend not, there is no try. Either you know Satoshi's private key, or you don't. Faketoshi clearly doesn't.

Bitcoin's biggest utility at the moment is pure speculation.
Postgres change-capture device that supports high-throughput and low-latency capture to a variety of sinks (at first release, just Google BigQuery):

https://github.com/lawrencejones/pgsink

I know there's debezium and Netflix's dblog, but this project aims to be much simpler.

Forget about kafka and any other dependency: just point it at Postgres, and your data will be pushed into BigQuery. And for people with highly-performance-sensitive databases, the read workload has been designed with Postgres efficiency in mind.

I'm hoping pgsink could be a gateway drug to get small companies up and running with a data warehouse. If your datastore of choice is Postgres, it's a huge help to replicate everything into an analytics datastore. A similar tool has helped my company extract expensive work out of our primary database, which is super useful for scaling (nevermind the business-intelligence and data-engineering uses!).

The project is 90% there, about 10hrs and some testing away from being useable. Once there, I'll be hitting up some start-up friends and seeing if they want to give it a whirl.

If you truly can't see any relationship between Trump's rhetoric and the behavior of his extremist base - particularly with the conspiracy theory of the 2020 election being stolen from him - a conspiracy theory he continued to spread at every available moment and which provided the impetus behind numerous incidents of violence leading up to the events at the Capitol just days earlier - then we may be at an impasse.

As far as I can tell, Obama is considered "anti-police" simply because he supports BLM, but BLM have legitimate concerns about police violence and systemic racism in law enforcement, and voicing those concerns doesn't make one anti-police. I have yet to find an "anti-police" statement made by Obama which condemns all police and calls them all evil, that is at all equivalent to the vitriol or paranoia in Trump's rhetoric.

It seems like a false equivalence drawn between the two.
Ugh.

I largely agree with the specific legal analysis in this guide. And it's nice to see a lawyer encouraging people who are not lawyers to read a law for themselves. But freely mixing legal analysis and political opinion, in a snarky format with debunker tone, isn't responsible. Law degrees don't turn our policy views into anointed fact.

The section on "big tech" isn't legal analysis. The fact that a law doesn't call out a specific group doesn't mean that such a group won't specifically benefit, or suffer, in practice. The fact that Section 230 doesn't have any language about company size or market share doesn't mean the law doesn't benefit them, benefit them more than smaller players, or benefit them in ways competitors in other industries don't enjoy. There are arguments both ways there. It's not all the lawyers on one side, and everybody who hasn't read the law on the other.

We know which side Mike's on. Reducing Section 230 claims to "a narrow set of frivolous lawsuits" was really cringey. Have a look at some of the cases that had folks reconsidering Section 230, back before Trump was even a candidate for president. The whole section where that jab appears is a straw man. I've not met anybody who thinks companies are totally immune from all laws.

Why doesn’t the kernel have access to AVX optimised memory copy instructions?
In my ideal world, the highly visible use of pervasive, systemic surveillance to rapidly identify, locate, apprehend, and prosecute the scores of folks that casually committed long-minimum-sentence federal crimes both discourages future criminal actions and sparks a debate over whether watching and recording everybody all the time is the way we want to live.

I’m not so naïve that I believe that’ll actually happen, though.

Tangentially, that pervasive surveillance is “saving” this investigation instead of letting most potential suspects go unidentified is indicative of the general trend of police departments getting lazy about doing actual investigative police work—-increasingly, if it’s not electronically recorded evidence, it may as well not have happened.
> Medicine: You Suck! [its complex and doesn't work]

Having worked in drug development (and no longer do) I can tell you that everyone in the field knows it sucks and also that you should be (very favorably) astonished that it works at all.

Biological systems are so insanely complex that they are barely understood; most medical treatments are attempts to perturb a single variable (of a system with billions of variables) in the hope that it has a big enough positive effect.

Insanely complex mRNA vaccines are "trivial" by comparison.

When you make a spacecraft as you describe you may have a million moving parts. Their operating domain is well known, they typically only do one or two things, and they can operate in a system that can be isolated (this is the crew capsule; it operates in a vacuum and gets power from the power module...). By comparison a human body is many many billions of parts (brain itself is 80 giganeurons) including many that are not even human, all interacting in parallel (those 80 GN brain cells each has a dendritic fan out of around 10^5, plus new means of connection are still being found); all flooding with various signalling (electrical, hormonal, etc) which is the result of object code being extensively modified over 400 million years.

And that's just for a single organism (which is how we erroneously consider a human being). Humans are themselves parts of complex interacting extracorpal systems of food, actions, and other environmental factors which cannot be controlled because unlike a piece of metal or a silicon die in a ceramic package we interact with the majority of them.

There are a lot of very smart people in computer science but my qualitative impression is that while there a smaller proportion of smart people in the life sciences, the average IQ of those latter group is significantly higher.

Even though I still follow the literature, I have a "holy shit how did someone figure that out?" moment several times a week.
