Thanks for explaining the steps you took. I'm always looking out for ways to approach unknown unknowns and this is a great help.
I recall the Chicago Tribune putting ads in the masthead, usually a reference to a promotional story lurking deeper inside the paper. And then there was this.

They didn't consider it a cache, they consider your gopath to be the place where you put all source code, your own, and that of all your dependencies.
Bug population in general is down massively. I worry about a silent spring.
I use codementor as well, as a mentor primarily. Got a lot of clients through them, including longer-term clients for my consultancy.

Immediate feedback: If you want me to sign up, 75¢/min is too low, and you do need a mechanism to raise rates. My standard codementor rate is $2.25/min (and goes up to $3/min on some specialized skills).

Feel free to email me if you want some feedback/video chat. I was on hackhands back when it still existed. I'm a sucker for these types of platform. I especially love getting clients looking for actual coaching/mentoring, not just debugging.
I'm not in the field, but from my perspective, aviation is super, super conservative. That is one of the reasons why we have GA still using leaded gasoline in engines that are largely unchanged from the 1950s. F1 is basically the exact opposite, they are pushing the bleeding edge of technology all the time.
Yeah your voting brought you in this ridiculous position in the first place. Good job :D
After a programmer changed PBKDF2 to use SHA512 instead of SHA-1, I asked whether it made sense to use SHA256 instead for this very reason. With SHA extensions on Intel (pretty rare, incidentally), and the cryptography extension on ARM, I wondered if SHA256 (with more iterations) might put defenders at less of a disadvantage relative to attackers than SHA512.
At about 2:57 the operator says the rover is about 20 meters off the surface, if that helps at all. I agree it got really hard to get a sense of the scale once the thrusters started blowing up dust.
> 'normal' investors will be swayed by charismatic founders into losing their homes.

You mean their second or third homes, right? There's a minimum net-worth requirement before you're able to invest in a startup so a failed investment is not going to bankrupt any investors. The founders are much more likely to end up in the poorhouse if things don't work out than investors are.
Cases are going down worldwide, numbers of vaccinated are too low to be relevant and second dose even lower.

Also when vaccination started, we can clearly see a spike in deaths. Are those "linked"?

Please do not misconstrue what I have said. The term "oreo" has a long history of being used as a racist epithet. There is nothing wrong with using it as an analogy, but in a discussion on racism, it might be better to pick a cookie with a similar color scheme that does not already have racist connotations, such as a Moon Pie. You are, of course, free to use whatever analogy you feel best expresses your point.
“Making awesome pancakes” seriously. This is ugly and I would try to avoid working with a person like you.
Yeah. BTW, on macOS, it would be trivial to hack together an Automator workflow that gives you a Service (ie, a menu item in Safari->Services) that says "Download Video", or "Add Youtube Song to Music", and does what it says.

Basically you'd use the "Get Current Webpage from Safari" block, then in the Terminal

PATH="/usr/local/bin:${PATH}"
cd Music/YTDownloads
# or wherever you want it
youtube-dl -q -f 140 "${@%%&*}"
# format 140 is 128k .m4a

Then add to existing playlist in music. Ah, if only it were legal!
The 30% doesn’t just cover ‘payment processing’.

Whatever the argument is, claiming that payment processing is all they are doing is simply not correct.

Also, this would take us further away from ever having an open platform, by making Apple’s platform more attractive.

It seems disingenuous to claim that this would end Apple’s ‘monopoly’. The only thing that will do that is more platforms, and the only kind of platform that will do that is an open one.

If AZ wants to make itself a hub, why not invest $1BN in a foundation to create an open smartphone OS, to be established in Arizona?
1% atmospheric pressure would do that. Sound won't travel very well through the Martian atmosphere.
Nobody has tried to claim that at any point in this thread. You are the only one trying to reduce this to a two-sided issue, which it's not.
No worries :). Hope you have an enjoyable rest of your day!
I'm not recommending any of these; I think it's best to just run services manually - with one VPS, Docker and something like Caddy the pain isn't that large.

It would be great if Sandstorm could get enough attention to thrive because it looked promising, but the activity of the blog¹ doesn't give me much hope. Since 2019 when it announced the hosting was shutting down there have been just 4 posts and apparently no major releases.

The opening bracket in a new line is very common for C/C++ and C#.

Obviously Standards change, but that's what we learned when I went to school.

The only thing that should matter with style is consistency.
I have a 3 year old. Daycares have been closed (except for parents working in critical infrastructure) for a while now (two months? I have honestly lost track).

Today we got an email from our daycare that we can send him back in at the 1th of March. We were politely asked to not send him if we don't need to and we will do exactly that. But I am nearly certain we will be the one of very few parents that actually do that.

I don't want to risk getting him or us sick and I am nearly certain that we will lock down again in a few weeks. What is the point of this "opening up"? I can already see the cases rising...the R value is now again over 1.

Oh well...I really no longer care. My immediate circle of friend and parents are all very careful. My wife and I have solid work from home jobs and our son seems happy enough staying at home as well. I will just wait it out and ignore the general media like I have been doing...the rest of the world can honestly do whatever the fuck they want.
It doesn’t matter if these longer-term symptoms affect some number of people outside that older, frailer risk group. There are always statistical outliers. If the amount of younger, stronger people affected by these symptoms is small, then that weakens the case for maintaining restrictions after vaccination of the most at-risk groups.

This issue seems to be important to you personally and to others whose concerns may or may not be reasonable, but I don’t believe it will be important to most of society as vaccinations roll out and the Northern Hemisphere spring and summer are upon us.
I think you can safely assume most people on here are some sort of programmer or at least tech-related.

We know about content negotiation it's probably the `Webmachine` `HTTP semantic awareness` `bit-pushing` `HTTP syntax-management` and `mochiweb` that not many people would know.

I'm not sure if you're purposefully trying to be sarcastic but even your current comment is kinda scathing.
This writer must not remember the way Fortnite originally released. It has had such a weird history.

The game originally was not battle royale, and released as a paid early-access title. To this day, you still have to pony up 15$ to get access to the game as it was released back in 2017. The battle royale expansion was added after the game completely flopped on release and the absolutely insane energy around DayZ and PubG started bubbling over to the rest of the industry. Fortnite : Battle Royale was the only way at the time to play a royale-type game on a minimally spec'd machine and thus quickly became a total hit.
Not that I know of, right now :(.

In the near future, we'll create some more GitHub-specific documentation that walks you through how to add advanced language support for any programming language on GitHub, by writing a Tree-sitter grammar, and then by writing the tree queries that are used for syntax highlighting, simple code navigation, and someday soon... precise code navigation.
You can't compare plain SHA256 with PBKDF2. PBKDF2 can take a million SHA operations to hash one password, if you configure it to (default is somewhere 10k to 1M).

If you were to leak your company database with 1 million customers and hashed passwords, there's some theoretical considerations to be made on resistance to GPU and ASIC cracking, practically you're in a pretty bad place whichever algorithm was used. ^^

P.S. Cryptography would have more weight if half the passwords weren't a variation of password2021 and hunter22.
I didn't downvote you, but comparing this situation to what happened with GME (as in your previous comment) is, at best, a stretch. At least with GME one could argue that people signing up for margin accounts to buy stock options should know what they're doing ... which is maybe a different subject ... but as others have indicated in this thread, a lot of providers like these employ some fairly aggressive/shady strategies to get consumers to sign on, and don't candidly discuss worst-case scenarios like these.
I think it is time for programmers to go to jail, when something like this happens. Just like in civil engineering when the bridge you built collapses and kills people.

I am a programmer myself. The shit you can get away with by claiming a software error is ridiculous and quite frankly dangerous. A bureacracies dream is being able to blame every bad outcome on a software error. We all know software errors are like a higher force, divine intervention, natural catastrophes — nothing can be done about them.

It is time we start taking our profession seriously, own our mistakes and collectively raise the stakes foe our errors.
Anything necessarily requiring lookup tables would be (comparably) slow. Unicode lookup tables are large, so it would be inherently slow for some inputs. For the performance you should assume the input distribution (e.g. ASCII is frequent even in Unicode texts, so we detect a run of ASCII and go SIMD). You can also combine adjacent operations: instead of working with Unicode scalar values, you can directly accept UTF-8 string and optimize tables for them (Oniguruma regexp engine of Ruby fame does this).

> Right, and you could have done this standardization somewhere else right -- GraphQL is a NIH version of what could have existed on top of well-considered existing standards.

Maybe, but I think building GraphQL on top of REST would have produced something much more convoluted and verbose. As an example, see the OData standard[0], which, at least from the client's perspective, is unnecessarily complex compared to GraphQL. There may be cleaner ways to structure this, but I'm not aware of any such attempts, and I doubt you'd get a result as easy to use and understand as GraphQL.

> This also is related to the database, because the original point was that people go GraphQL -> Resolver -> DB, rather than HTTP -> HTTP Endpoint -> DB, and because they have chosen GraphQL, they must now write efficient, general resolvers that are essentially hand-built query optimizers whereas with REST you can build with higher granularity and usually higher, easier-to-achieve efficiency.

That's fair, but as you pointed out earlier, you're just shifting complexity around in any case. REST is simple because it's so granular, which is great when all of your data needs are met by that granularity. As soon as you have more complex data requirements, you end up either making ad hoc endpoints or evolving your API into a giant monstrosity so that you can handle the more general cases. GraphQL significantly simplifies this implementation on both the client side and the API side. Yes, the tradeoff is that now you need to optimize your data access manually, but as others have said, there are now tools for dealing with this issue—and it's not like you don't gain anything from it.

For a simple but concrete example, if I need to fetch data from ten different entity types in order to render a page in my web app, I can do so in a single GraphQL query and handle caching, etc in one pass, as opposed to needing ten different REST calls and having to consolidate them by hand. On top of the maintainability benefits of this approach, the productivity gains are huge.

> Does he hear himself? You can't really liken wild guesses that lead to complacency/death as hiding the truth. It sounds like this guy should really stick to surgery.

It’s not a “wild guess.” There is data to support it. So what you’re really saying is that scientists should avoid discussing possible interpretations of the data for fear of what conclusions the public might draw. That’s not how science works and it isn’t a good way to build public trust in the process.
We were funded by Darpa. Cleary we have no interest in creating weapons. Darpa .. uh .. doesn’t do that.

Anybody who believes the children or grandchildren of Spot won’t be used by governments to oppress/police/kill people should call me. I have a bridge for sale.
I really don't think you can blame Halloween for the kickoff of an increase in cases.. that feels like a huge stretch.

I feel like the most likely candidate is weather. Even hot places like Florida and California get cooler, shorter days, with less humidity.
I certainly know of a few Adtech companies using Erlang to handle > 1M bid requests per seconds :). OTP is pretty great for that.
He is pretty "famous" in the underground dubstep scene (and by dubstep, I mean the original UK 2-step music, not whatever it became in the 2010's. He's always been enigmatic and hidden until that one post out of nowhere, releasing music through his friend/record company Hyberdub.

what's this '99 thing about tho: in 1999 there was a degree of social media as in forums, ICQ, AIM, geocities, angelfire sites, usenet and mailing lists. It wasn't that disconnected as maybe 3-4 years earlier.

mmap'ng constant tables is nice, but still wasting your caches. Which makes it much slower than a few tricks to save data and cpu. Such as using proper algorithms and data structures. I'm working on an optimizing data compiler for such oneshot lookups in static const data. Range or interval queries would be different and easier (btree's only), but oneshot needs to try much more.
Wow, very interesting. I had a pre-conceived notion that Martian atmospheric pressure was something like 20% of ours, but you're right, it's quite a bit lower than even that.
How Planes Keep Flying After an Engine Catches Fire
> This article seems to suggest the answer is a fully automated smart home, with some kind of AI to intelligently manage your power usage. Sounds awesome, but I don't think that's ever going to be a reality outside the valley.

It also sounds awful. It would objectively be a regression from reliable electricity to unreliable electricity, like in an undeveloped country.

The only thing such a technology would do is give the power companies a BS way to shift the blame for their planning fuck ups onto consumers, because technically it would be the consumer's equipment that killed the power.
I don't think this is a bubble, but expected inflation, due to COVID19.

I am guessing we will see cash devalue roughly 2x in the next five years. As a result, there's a scramble where to put money safely.

If the alternative -- cash -- loses half of its value once COVID19 financial measures start unwinding, all of a sudden, investments just need a 50% ROI to be profitable. If I dump a million dollars into a startup, and it sells for the equivalent of $500k in five years ($1M after inflation), I've come out neutral.
Those are expensive to lose. That’s why I stick with wired AirPods.
The reason why we have things like regulations and consumer protection laws is exactly to prevent people from, as you put it, becoming victims of themselves.

If everyone had this kind of attitude, we'd still be driving cars with no seatbelts.
Awesome to hear that amazing tech like tree-sitter lives on even though Atom, the product it was built for, is pretty much on life support at this point.

Curious if there's any efforts to bring tree-sitter to VSCode? Exposing tree-sitter to extensions could open up so many possibilities like OP mentioned.
It's going slower than the WWW but I feel it could be just as big. There are major problems with big banks, social networks, and the advertising model of the web and crypto can solve all of this: decentralization, democratization, and micropayments all in one. No doubt it will create its own problems but there is big potential. Just look at what's going on with Ethereum and Defi instead of the older generation of deflationary currencies.

But you are right, there are way too many attempts at new networks and currencies, when we need to be consolidating around the best of those and building up the application layer. I think there are huge opportunities for people who create the killer apps for crypto.
"Synergy" haunts me, as well as repurposing words like "ideation". If I play word association, "suicidal" is the only context where "ideation" sounds correct.
Wrt to the last sentence - PUBG ran like a old dog when it was in it's infancy so there was a big gap for fortnite to take.
In its early days, this forum was full of excited young devs who had read PG's old essays and we're actively looking for technologies that would give them a competitive edge.

Now, it's completely the opposite.

Now, when a company successfully leverages technologies as a competitive edge and becomes a multi-billion dollar success, the thread is dominated by stodgy criticism for not picking the absolute most mainstream technologies possible.
I think the important point is that Bitcoin mining hardware is much more specialized than that. The really crazy fast ASICs are hardwired to do SHA-256 hashes of Bitcoin block headers only and just increment the Bitcoin nonce before repeating. They can't be repurposed to crack password hashes.
I would like to see a good treatment of Lucas like arguments. Most take the form of humans having their own halting problem. But, that objection is completely irrelevant, and it concerns me that objectors do not realize this. Makes me think they are missing something.
It seems like we’d simulate the heck out of non-intelligent organisms first, before moving on to human brain. And by then, we’ll probably figure out the ethics behind this type of activity or ban it altogether.
It's ok... the Texas Public Utilities Commission decided to set the max rate to $9,000/MWh making the polluting power seem cheap by comparison.

I've read the Dept of Energy doc, and I think they were trying to make sure that power companies could pay for the pollution offset credits after the fact. Also, since Texas has a soldi market based power system, they wanted to make polluting power the least desired. Little did they know.....

I think the Griddy scheme is in the process of destroying itself, as it becomes apparent how many people won't be paying their bills, either through bankruptcy or populist legislation. Despite not seeming so on paper, Griddy itself has significant long tail risk.

A great way to hedge while having Griddy would be to make a deal with your neighbor to run an extension cord when the spot price gets too high. Sleazy, but what isn't these days.

Of course such arbitrage just pushes the market as a whole towards time of use pricing, which isn't a bad thing as long as the unreasonable pathologies get worked out.
I don't have an answer for you but your question made me think; "why can't other gitlab alternatives use their gitlab runner?"

That shouldn't be hard to do, make a gitea that can use gitlab runners, right? It must be an open protocol.
That is the beauty of lockdowns. Their success is completely unfalsifiable and all paths on the lockdown flowchart point right back to "more lockdown".

If cases rise, it is because "people didn't take it seriously" and "it wasn't hard enough". Result: Blame the public and lockdown longer & harder. This time, people will behave and it will work!

If cases go down, it must have been because the lockdowns work and so we should continue them otherwise cases will rise and we will be back to square one.

Never question the lockdown. Lockdowns always win! Lockdowns can't fail, they can only be failed. It's Science!
Please don't kill insects unless you really need to, I've seen people on Facebook talking about destroying caterpillar nests because they kill trees and it's not even true they might eat some leaves but it's natural and doesn't usually kill the tree. Now I hardly see the nests anywhere anymore and the butterflies either.
Ah sorry - I've worked in a lot of offices that are ridiculously open concept and lounges sort of spill into desks and kitchens so my impression of common spaces is a bit of a mismatch to yours.

I agree with your sentiment pretty strongly then.
That seems unlikely, if for no other reason than the way COVID has spread. Do you have any data?

All the data I've seen on SARs and the mechanisms deployed to control it indicate infectivity at or only very, very shortly before clear symptoms or they would not have been able to control it.

COVID is quite clearly infectious before visible symptoms of any kind, and even when visible many times symptoms are pretty mild - where SARs was not - and this matches it's observed spread and difficulty in controlling it.
While not universally true, a manual process does typically require a process to fix mistakes. This is true of software as well but the perceived lack of errors in software processes often leads to this being ignore resulting in the aforementioned “bureaucratic violence”. I do think automated solutions are inherently better because of the bias reasons you call out but it cuts both ways and removes interpretation from processes that may not respect nuance.
Can someone comment on why this is the first time I'm seeing videos from Mars versus previous missions.

Did the memory write speeds increase, more sensitive CCD sensors, easier to send data back to Earth?

Yes but it is still below projected inflation, i.e. 10 year real yield is still negative.
