No, when I say "limited government" I mean just that. A government that has certain powers, but not others.

This is not just about enforcement of laws, it's about which laws are allowed to exist in the first place, and about government procedures adhering to those laws.

To give you concrete examples:

* I don't think "the government" (broadly defined) should have the power to stick some poor kid in Riker's Island for a few years while they think about getting around to trying them on a trumped-up charge.

* I feel like there is significant value in a number of protections enshrined in the US constitution (starting with the prohibition on ex post facto laws, as a pretty major one).

* I feel that asset forfeiture is a complete travesty and should never have been allowed under any sort of "limited government" approach.

That sort of thing. Of course then we have to have some debate about which powers governments should or should not have. And revisit that every so often as the situation (society, world power balance, technology) changes. But we should revisit it in a reasonable way, where everyone is clear that we are revisiting it, instead of the government just grabbing more power for itself unilaterally, whether it's through abuse of executive orders, pretending like everything is "interstate commerce", setting up secret courts, doing parallel construction, passing unconstitutional legislation and hoping no one notices, or whatever other things various governments in the US have tried over the last century or two.

I wouldn't necessarily say that, pig feet soups are extremely popular in the south, particularly in Cajun cuisine. It's not exactly the same but is rather similar. Almost everyone knows what it is and it doesn't both us that it is what it is despite being in NA.
No, being against a little benefit that is trying even the playing field after literally hundreds of years of systemic oppression against a group of people is what is disgusting.
Anecdotal experience from someone reading through a lot of DS job postings. There are plenty of roles which present red flags of them being something which would morph into something akin to devops/general-analytics. It seems common for roles to require wearing a few hats including data engineering in order to get work done (I consider that 100% normal unless you're targeting a large+mature organization), but so far getting an idea of the general direction of a role seems not too challenging.

Not in the least. South Africa ultimately was pressured by wide ranging sanctions from nation states. That would be a good way to proceed in this case too.
It may appear toxic externally, sure. It's clear many benefit from the military-style discipline and focus on perfection in these places.

So while it's easy to look back at something 'toxic' it completely skirts around the fact that their own personal skill likely benefited hugely from the experience.
My organisation uses Serv-U. The permissions in our programdata folder matches the article (we've not applied the most recent Serv-U patch which came out quite recently).

But as the article says you need to be RDP'd to the server which for us would be Administrators. Who already have control over the server. Also we don't run the service as local system just as a regular service account with no admin rights.

So while this is a vulnerability it doesn't seem overly critical in our case. If you let non-privileged users RDP to your application servers and you're running as local system then sure, it's pretty bad.
Sure would -- the number of cats would be capped at one.
Maybe this is a nitpick, but I don't like the phrasing of "X is a bigger problem than Y" as it implies a global standard for how we should address suffering, and (perhaps this is merely my interpretation) your phrasing and tone sound dismissive.

On one hand we have people who are starving because they don't have access to a reliable food source.

On the other, we have people who have severe health complications due to poor nutrition/obesity/whatnot.

I believe it is also a mistake to compare relative suffering--e.g. perhaps (hypothetically) more people are obese than starving, but starving sounds more painful than being obese: these comparisons also run afoul of subjective experience and understanding.

Both problems are significant, and require attention which we are capable of doing, as a civilization: we can multi-task. I believe it is naive to frame them in opposition to each other as well.

You'd never buy a 1PB tape drive if you only had 1PB of data to backup.

A 1 PB (1000TB) tape drive would probably cost $10,000+ to $100,000. The tapes themselves would be cheap (cheaper than hard drives or SSDs). So you'd buy many tapes, perhaps 50 of them, to be cost-effective.

That's why a lot of comments around here are talking about tape libraries (entire boxes of tapes). You must plan to use more than 50 tapes (aka: 50PBs) before you reach any level of cost-effectiveness.

---------

From there, we see that 1PB of data is simply "infrastructure", to help you lay out the data before it gets to the tape. There are 20TB hard drives today: a single machine with 50 x 20TB hard drives (and maybe some flash storage to accelerate the write to hard drives) is what we're looking at to feed the Tape Drive.
You sound incredibly old.

But don't worry - I read your whole comment agreeing and now feel just as old as you sounded!

Agreed, I think a hallmark of toxic situations is that from the outside it's obvious how bad they are and from the inside it's hard to see.
Not sure where you're from, but at least for American-made wines that's not often the case, as there are many more common and/or cheaper sources for chitin, casein, gelatin, etc. (pig and cow, as well as egg based sources for example). Also, blood-based fining agents have been outlawed in the US and Europe since the mid 90s thanks to the mad-cow scare.

Of course this conversation also ignores the fact that fining agents are removed from wine before bottling as part of their purpose - they bind with the crap you don't want in your wine. Typical store-bought wine will have no detectable amount of a fining agent in it.

It's hard enough to mount resistance against a repressive regime when it is blanketed with propaganda.

When companies like Google and Apple operate in those nations, they help legitimize and normalize that regime, confirming all the propaganda.

After all, the Google brand didn't come from the regime, they are a foreign firm that decided it was ethical to do business there.

False. Apple doesn’t take a percentage from enterprise distribution.

No one asked for them to get involved in policy making. They're referring to making their platforms more open such that neither Apple nor Google have complete dictation of what is downloaded and installed.

Especially in Apple's case, this would be a useless ban if they let people download apps outside of the App Store.
5 Ways You Can Embrace the Magic of Perl
First, commonly used features aren't deprecated frequently. Second, you'd get a warning at least a year in advance (the more important feature -- the longer the warning). BTW, note that when something is removed from mainline, it is no longer maintained in Updates (because there are no more patches to the component to backport), and so it's not supported in "free LTS" offerings. If you want to continue using removed features for a few more years your only option is to buy long-term support.

Stolen and Missing Moon Rocks
My friend, one of the few people who gives me any advice at all seemed baffled that I would “make things harder for myself” by quitting jobs that make me feel like I’m becoming mentally ill. I can adopt that suvival mindset for a period, but when I am thinking about work problems while I’m away then it’s time to get out—context is entry level retail jobs. It would be better to have something new lined up, but unemployment also granted my claim so there’s that. Check out the term “constructive dismissal”... it’s not understood by most people, but unemployment insurance knows what it is. I didn’t use the term in my summary, just gave a brief description of the problems.
I'm saying no machine is going to directly compete if it's not running macOS.

As a wannabe game designer who moved on quickly to other things: object lifetime problems are a bane of game design. They give you memory leaks, and in some situations are how item duplication bugs work.

In particular if you do the engine as a collaborative piece, then running a game starts to look like any other volunteer group: a bimodal distribution where few old hands keep it on the rails, a lot of new people whose raw enthusiasm overpowers their lack of experience, who need to be given tasks they can not fuck up so badly.

In between it’s a race between burnout and life balance for the people who have shown up for three years. They provide a lot of the leadership and competence, but they also tend to disappear. So you need to groom the newbs to replace them regularly. The old hands are the scribes who provide historical data when those transitions don’t go smoothly. They are continuity and influence, not productivity.

Any system that provides some safety for people still working out how to contribute is going to fare much better than one that is alienating. Rust to me is a mix of both, therefore plausible but not a slam dunk.
Sure, why not? It's an incremental cost of the backup system. Look at the current generation stuff. An LTO-8 drive puts 30TB onto a tape, but that's assuming 2.5:1 compression, so the native capacity is only 12TB.

Let's assume you're actually going to do the compression as you build the virtual tape. What's a 12TB hard disk cost these days? A lot less than the $4,000 that the tape drive costs. Heck, 12TB of SSD is going to be cheaper.
That doesn’t makes it fake... it’s just a typewriter font.
I did that on my first playthough. Getting those 1000 blue circuits was going to take awhile, and rather than fix my bottlenecks to speed it up, I just went to bed and let the game run overnight.

Ellsberg's recent book The Doomsday Machine says the Pentagon Papers were his less-important material. His job at the Pentagon was nuclear policy, and he also had thousands of pages detailing that policy, which at the time was horrific. (The book goes into detail on just how horrific; much of it has been declassified now so he can source his claims.)

He decided to release the Vietnam papers first because he felt that if he released the nuclear papers, nobody would care about the Vietnam stuff.

He gave the nuclear documents to his brother, who first hid them in a compost bin. Then his brother decided that wasn't secure enough, and hid them in black plastic bags on the outskirts of the town dump. That turned out to be smart, since men in suits were seen poking rods into the compost pile the next day, but a freak storm washed that entire portion of the dump down a hill and the nuclear documents were lost. They spent a year sifting through trash looking for them.

Ellsberg's wife called that storm a miracle from God, because in Ellsberg's opinion he certainly would have spent the rest of his life in prison for making the nuclear papers public.

> Sign extension (SEX instruction!)

We were definitely into SEX in those days.

In the late 1970s I was working at Tymshare, and one of my tasks was maintaining the assembler and linker. (I think this was on the PDP-10 but it could have been another machine.)

We wanted a "weak external" feature, somewhat akin to a "weak reference" in modern languages: instead of failing to build if the external symbol was not defined in another object file, it would link OK but leave a null value that you would check at runtime.

The assembly directive for a regular external was EXTERN. I thought of calling the weak external WEXTERN but that looked silly. So I decided to call them Secondary Externals, with the directive being SEXTERN.

And as far as I know, no one complained!

could Mia , Rihanna and Greta be also not part of a propaganda?

Even if both sides are using propaganda as a weapon, atleast celebrities like Sachin Tendulkar are not spreading lies. They are only giving a positive message. They want the whole matter to be solved and for that it's the Indian government and the Indian farmers who have to work together.

The link also describes them using technology.

Remember: no technology means no fire, no spears, no arrow, no knives, no pottery, no weaving, no making glue, etc. If you believe those aren't technology, just try doing it yourself with nothing but your hands and nature.

You can even watch some youtube videos on making fire from scratch. Then try it yourself. You'll fail. Even the one guy on "Alone" who didn't take along flint&steel used advanced technology to make a bow drill (using modern cord and a knife). He was an experienced outdoorsman and still had a lot of trouble with it.

If you, I, or anyone else on HN were dropped naked into the wilderness, we'd be dead within a week. Likely within a day from exposure.
Not sure if you read the linked article, but these appear to be the same study.
There are many threats from normal people to normal people that result in conviction. [0] I didn’t intend for my example to be representative for all.

If you report a death threat to the police and fbi it will be investigated. I think the problem is they have to be substantiated. If I just run around the town square saying “I’m going to kill you” that’s not actually a criminal death threat. So someone saying “#diaf” is not a death threat, it’s obnoxious but not a crime.

Fortunately murder rate is not correlated to internet death threats or we’d all be dead.

This doesn’t mean that platforms shouldn’t stop boorish behavior, but it’s not a crime and we probably don’t want the FBI investigating stuff that’s not a crime.

But when it is, when I think someone is going to kill me, I feel confident that I can call the law and they’ll do what they can.

It often causes a double-take for me when I see projects on HN with the same name as projects I once worked on.

Way back in time, maybe around 1998, a friend an I worked on a steganography tool that we called Spyder. I don't remember where it was published or under what license (probably freeware), but the algorithm was incorporated into Hide4PGP (http://www.heinz-repp.onlinehome.de/Hide4PGP.htm), and we stopped work on it.

This post just caused a bit of nostalgia. I can still remember my co-developer taking a break jamming on a bass guitar while we tried to figure out the striping problem (the solution was to compress the data to increase entropy first).
