curl "living the dream" of being open source and used in billions of devices.

> This mechanism allows anyone to twiddle the bits.

This remained unclear to me. Other comments say the CPU needs to be in red unlocked state, whatever that is.

The screenshot shows UEFI. So one could guess the CPU is in such state before the operating system gets loaded. But the operating system typically loads a microcode update, after that the CPU should no longer be in unlocked state.

So for "everyone can fiddle with the bits", that would require to run a modified bootloader first. Which should not be possible thanks to secure boot.

So yes, maybe it's a small step to another highly complex exploit. But it's not that everybody running a securely booted operating system (which should be everybody) can start fiddling with bits.

Edit: There is a difference between your own bits and someone else's bits. Yes, on your own machine you can run a modified bootloader and that's a good thing. Putting a modified bootloader to another machine should not be possible (until someone breaks secure boot, but I don't think that has publicly happened)
Why was it pivotal?

I mean, all I know is some proto-marxists overthrew the king, murdered everybody who looked at them funny for 5 years straight, went crazy, got overtaken by Napoleon who was basically the next king again.

That's a few years as a republic, and an extremely bloody and dysfunctional one at that, how was that pivotal? Was it "just" because it was the situation let Napoleon take power? I'll definitely agree that Napoleon was pivotal :-)

But I'm very shallow wrt this topic, I'd love to learn how (besides the bloodshed), the revolution changed matters.

It's typically integrated with Kafka sources (and often also Kafka sinks), but you can just use any normal PostgreSQL client driver and normal SQL.

It does integrate with your postgres database, but logical replication target mode is still a TODO. Don't worry though, this only means the change data stream has to go through a Kafka broker. There should be a guide on this (if not, plop in the community Slack and ask).

The license allows for free single-node deployments; the SaaS variant is currently in Beta, so you'll have to ask. On-premise clusters for production usage are "contact sales", but AFAIK due to the low sales volume (turns out, vertical scaling is easy and often enough), so don't let that scare you off.

Yes, I can't fathom why the hate is on the law, and not the companies now being exposed by the law.. Seriously, if you don't do shady shit your site doesn't need a popup asking for consent.

But even Github has misunderstood it's not about the cookies. They had an article earlier about removing the popup since they managed to do stuff without cookies. The law doesn't care about cookies, it cares about tracking and illegitimate use of personal data. If you send data to third parties or track by other means, consent is still needed.

The problem I seem with sysimages, is that the whole process is incredibly unergonomic for exploratory coding, which Julia always claims it is a primary use-case for. When you want to just glue some packages and quickly test out some results, the last thing you want to do is to think about what kinds of functions from libraries you are going to use beforehand, carefully write it in a precompilation file, and wait for the compiler to precompile and cache those code paths! And once those dependencies change even a bit you need to wait for precompilation again, which happens a lot when you're prototyping things fast or upgrading versions (for example, this X numerical computation library doesn't have a particular feature I want to use, so I want to switch to another library Y, but then you need to wait for everything to be precompiled again) The reality is that most people just want to fire up a virtualenv and do the occasional "pip install <my libraries>" and don't want to get involved in any of this stuff. (As someone who uses C++ I have a lot more patience than other people, but you shouldn't really expect much from others)

I think Julia needs to throw away some of the unnecessary obsession for just-ahead-of-time (JAOT) compilation. Compiling everything beforehand to LLVM machine code seems good for raw runtime speed, but it doesn't matter when it takes so much setup time to even just glue some simple libraries. Julia should seriously consider running most of the less-computationally intensive codepaths in a custom-made interpreter without LLVM, while precompiling the numerically intensive parts of library code in raw machine code with the current LLVM backend. Maybe there should be a flag you can use to mark certain functions to be unconditionally compiled AOT-style, and leave the rest to the interpreter. Interpreters can be made surprisingly fast with some effort - stuff like the interpreter in LuaJIT (https://luajit.org/) and HashLink (https://hashlink.haxe.org/) is what comes into my mind.
You’re welcome :)
I should add that the author might be willing to add some missing settings if asked nicely. I have been using Onyx since OS X 10.2 and it’s always worked as expected.
Was a 1blocker user, but I recall there was some discrepancy between iOS and macOS that broke it.

Moved to AdGuard, seems good for now.

Also, try Hush on iOS, I don’t know the magic behind it but it seems to be much more potent at killing nagging questions.
> because developers are lazy and companies want to make more money

I think that Apple don't implement these features because they want to make more money and have developers make apps for their platform for free (and actually collect a fee from the developers that are improving the Apple ecosystem).
Haha, yes, that would be one level up...

An artist’s work isn’t just once. They ‘lifted’ their fingers to get their skills and then created something unique.

You don't really use dynamic datalog queries with DDlog. Instead you write rules that handle your queries in a streaming fashion ("prepare" statement at compile time, stream tuples of parameters at runtime and listen for outputs), if you can't afford to keep a materialized view up-to-date that turns your queries into simple KV-lookup operations.

But, do not worry:
Support for run-time rule updates is in the works and would allow for arbitrary dynamic datalog queries.
Which makes me wonder why these features are still allowed in cars in general. Having an aerospace background, I have no idea how certification of these things work for cars, but I would like to think some governing body has to sign of on this stuff. At least in Germany we have the TÜV for cars already on the road, and sometimes changing basic stuff like suspension isn't allowed. For safety reasons, which I get. On the other hand, you have half assed self driving features in production cars (not just Tesla).
There's a lot of blinkered and self-serving historical revisionism in that account. Two problems, just for starters: comp.lang.c didn't invent FAQ postings; it wasn't even Usenet that invented them. And frequently asked questions were and are not necessarily novice questions. So do not take it as gospel.
Those inventors are a fraction of people we would call productive.

> There is an enormous problem with taking things by force from a group so you can give them to another.

Are you talking about taxes? Budgets are voted and depend on an elected government. Laws are a form of social contract, I guess. Money is just a medium of exchange, a way to "count sheeps" and reduce waste. In my view it's its only true function. No man is an island. People are free to go elsewhere and create their own country.

Now it's possible to advocate for a form of anarchism (there are many, I guess). Bertrand Russel has criticized anarchism.
It might be nice to have a README section that compares your project with existing alternatives, such as Ragel: http://www.colm.net/open-source/ragel/
They're not going for a full ML approach. That's just more Elon marketing language. Tesla reverse engineers have gotten their hands on the FSD beta and inspected the internals - they use ML for perception and scene understanding, but all of that information feeds into traditional robotics prediction, planning, and pathfinding algorithms.
Which is why the GDPR specifically forbids pointless clickthrough. The companies doing the theater should be fined.
The core issue with cancer is that the immune system does not combat the tumor. Cancer patients suffer from damage caused by the tumor and by aggressive therapies.

Cancerous mutations happen all the time. Usually, the affected cells either

* repair the damage,
* get wrecked by the damage's side effects,
* suicide or
* get blasted by the immune system because the mutation alters their surface proteins in weird ways.

Tumors form because the cancerous mutations succeed to fly under the radar of the immune system. mRNA therapy can be used to make the immune system target specific surface features of cancer cells, or to do something else in connection with the cancer cells that attracts the immune system's attention.
I wish it was that easy. I'm also using Cookie Auto Delete and uBlock Origin, but remember that many of the tools you are agreeing to use fingerprinting, meaning that even if you delete their cookies they'll keep tracking you around the web. It's safer to not agree to load them IMHO.
Even without this feature, you could stand up a lambda and do the resize on the fly.

Advantage here is that clients can just continue to use their existing S3 interface yet your lambda is still invoked.

>To achieve goals 1 and 2 together, we use static knowledge of the element type: when it is statically known that the element type is not a class, code and checks accounting for the possibility of wrapping an NSArray are eliminated. An Array of Swift value types always uses the most efficient possible representation, identical to that of ContiguousArray.

Why would elements being classes change this?

Wouldn't an array of class elements only hold pointers to those instances, so it wouldn't be different than "an array of Swift value types" at that regard (the extra dereference would only be needed after getting the element pointer out of the array).
Absolutely fantastic resources! Thank you. I just want to get out of the major eco systems of apple and android, and gain the feeling of owning my computer. Having a Raspberry has been an enlightening experience in that regard.

I'm not sure why nobody thought of this, but I think self-driving cars should have some special lights or signs that show the world around them that they are self-driving. That would at least lessen the frustration of drivers behind when it is reluctant to turn into oncoming traffic, or acts like a drunken driver.
Does this feature add proprietary musings to the S3 protocol? Vendor lock-in?

If one looks only at the comparison table from the article, one gets the impression that Zig is better than C only by implementing runtime checks. Runtime checks are a cheap trick on the road to safety. Dynamic languages do so all the time. That would mean there are no real language level advances when compared to C.

I would say Zig is much safer than the article leads on. That would be because of the impact of the design of the language itself. Zig has many language level improvements that reduce code fragility (a major source of bugs), lessen runtime code complexity, improve ergonomics and reinforce good design. Zig is definitely on the other side of the spectrum than C in that regard.

Zig has for example has a modern type system (incl. nullable types), namespaces, block expressions, structured error-handling, generics through compile time execution, and a defer statement.

C instead has things like the preprocessor, .h and .h combo's, a fragile build system and in general high quality duct tape engineering.

Safe Crackers: The Art of Warez(documentary)
Interesting read, and I definitely wasn't trying to say that outsourcing was great. But if you do your due diligence, your chances of actually fixing the issue you care about are much higher if you pick a reputable organisation to donate to, rather than funding actions directly.

Since philanthropy is usually fueled by emotions, you might be tempted to fuel actions to stop trophy hunting of endangered species, but according to many sources (see the wikipedia page and its references), that might actually be detrimental to the conservation efforts. Similarly, you might fund the planting of trees to restore forests, while those cutting existing forests down with no regard for the environment face no opposition (sound familiar?).

There's a lot of harm possible if you outsource to the wrong people, but if you do your due dilligence, a dedicated group of experts will be able to use your money far more effectively than you could.

As for "fixing the issues close to you" - you need to realise, that people who have money to throw around are rarely close to, let alone experts in, any such issues. They might want to help the homeless, for example, but if they just buy up a bunch of apartments and let them live there, they might not be solving much. Someone working with the homeless on a daily basis would know to put money towards rehabilitation, education and finding them employment first (from what I've heard - I, too, am not an expert).

In this case, there's not much difference. In general, iterating over something rather than using a counter with limits makes it harder to create off by one or other errors due to laziness.

I use TurboTax. Before that I went to a big box tax preparer. They made me find, and bring, and drive back home to get the ones I forgot, all the documents they need, to essentially fill out their own equivalent of TurboTax, all the while me keeping an eye that they don't mistype something, because at the end of the day, I'm responsible. I spent more time than the tax preparer.

This is pretty much the experience I expect. And I just don't see how this can be automated well (yes, I read the human-in-the-loop remark, but also the 15 seconds one), if there's such unstructured data, both on the input as well as the output side of this process. It seems to me you're just going to be renting out a glorified copywriter or editor.

I’ve always felt the same way, I absolutely detest the whole farce of a manager claiming they’re “shielding the team” when really they’re just making critical decisions without informing their own team / gathering [real] consenshs.

To be explicit, there is absolutely a place to “shield the team”, but I’m talking about a pattern I’ve observed that many managers will use that as a pretext to avoid keeping people in the loop and essentially get to boost their own career by holding others back. Real shielding is when you politely tell team Y that their proposal is going to require your team to have to own and operate a net new production service, not when you make critical decisions without consulting some of the biggest stakeholders - your own team.

I would disagree. As the pathogenesis of most mental health problems is poorly understood, no treatment can be said to address the cause of the patients actual problems with any degree of validity. All medical interventions including CBT, pharmacological interventions and ECT have risks of harm and side effects. Therefore as with all these treatments a risk/benefit needs to be made, without appeal to the emotional response that ECT seems to produce in those reading about it. Current guidelines by panels of experts and systematic reviews suggests it is helpful in certain cases. Therefore it is reasonable to keep it in the arsenal of therapies while expert opinion and evidence supports it.

I know exactly the archetype of engineer you’re talking about and they are hands down some of the most valuable engineers you’ll find.

It’s possible to have a 10x multiplier in “individual output” or whatever you want to call it, but 9 times out of 10 the most valuable engineer is the one who can provide detailed, actionable feedback on patches, architectural change proposals etc but is also willing to get their hands dirty when it makes sense. That, IMO, is what I consider a ‘true’ 10x engineer to be
