House prices in the UK are ridiculous. The average house price outside of London is £245,128 [1] If I were to guess it's closer to £250k now. Rent is expensive too.

Our economy is a service based on economy but I don't see where all the good jobs are. They're in London. Not distributed across the UK.

I think people are getting poorer too. Wage inflation is non-existent.

Yes. What is this article about???

The pitch of the sound of each drum?

The softness or hardness of the drum when hit with a certain force?

The height of the surface of each drum above the floor?

What point/s is/are the article making about these characteristics?
You don't need much understanding in advance to develop a novel backend, since you are forced and guided to learn the whole language as you try to write the backend and start pattern matching on the data structures.
Most of the stuff I have learned well were a combination of them fitting into the need for automation and sufficient time/lack of pressure/deadlines. I personally find deadlines suffocating but sadly that is how most things are.
If the CO2 price was sufficiently high it would be cheaper to go with the green plan.
I hate cars for so many reason already, and here you are telling me that they are literally squeezing global production of chips too. Cherry on top.

I really want us to stop being so obsessed with cars, because no matter how useful they are to transportation, in my mind they just can't be worth the pain and damage they cause to our society...

How does that last quote of mine show my bias? I’ve cited in other posts numerous articles talking about the lack of profitability of most college athletics. I then stated an opinion of mine and indicated that it was merely an opinion. It’s my perception that athletic programs don’t pay for the stadiums they use. Those stadiums use taxpayer money. I know this to true at FSU and at the University of Minnesota. I’m not an expert on this topic and I gave an opinion on an aspect of this issue that I admittedly didn’t have lots of information.

Do you not have opinions, impressions, thought, ideas about things you haven’t studied? Of course you do. In my case I was intellectually honest enough to let the reader distinguish between those thoughts of mine I had ready evidence for and those that I don’t.

As to your third paragraph please keep in mind my usage of with rare exceptions. Of course you can cite counter examples to the general trend of college football being a drain on resources. Also note that I’ve cited evidence to back up my beliefs and you have not. You’ve even made a reference to common sense. There are far too many examples of where intuition and common sense are wrong for this to be a legitimate basis for a strong belief.
Doesn't this happen all the time? Many psychology studies are done by bringing in test subjects, asking for their consent to be interviewed or tested under the guise of studying X, when in fact the researchers are looking to evaluate Y instead?

E.g. I the researcher ask if you consent to spending 30min completing a series of tasks to sort objects by their shape, presumably because I want to study your ability to recognize shapes. However, what I am actually studying is the group dynamics, of how well you and others in the group cooperate or have conflict over your tasks.
Well that basic ethical no-no is going to make it impractical for anyone to do open source supply chain integrity evaluation at scale because getting permission from thousands of people to do sweeping tests is impractical and warns everyone for a short period making it an inauthentic scenario.

It will make it hard for things to improve, so millions will continue to get hacked due to supply chain attacks that almost no one is doing anything about.

At what point does the ethical fault of negligence become so great that intervening to stop said negligence without consent becomes justified? We don't have much in the way of well defined law in this area yet, and it may take a long time to catch up.

I suggest the lesser evil in the short term is to allow maintainers to suffer occasional mild embarrassment from time to time because they merged bad code. They get a valuable lesson out of the deal with no one getting hurt, no privacy violated, etc.

If a maintainers don't want to review code with the understanding it could be malicious, then they have the right to never review or merge anything.

All code contributions should be considered potentially malicious.

Now, we also don't want to see repos bombarded with bad commits either if we can help it.

Maybe a middle ground could exist where open source authors can signal a willingness to be tested once a year, and can signal if a test for this year has happened already.

I think most projects would not do this, but it might be a step towards wide consent long term if someone cares to build such a system.

In the decades before that though, there are not really any good options.

If someones house is on fire and it has the potential to burn the neighborhood down, I don't imagine you should be faulted for doing what is required to put it out.

Emergencies sometimes warrant dispensing with niceties. I think the supply chain attack risk is approaching emergency levels at this point. Negligence is the norm.

Thanks for the response, it's great to have developers respond to the community. I have made another attempt today using 5.5-wip and experimental hardware support enabled through loader.conf, to no avail. I think I will wait some time for things to become more mature. Right now I have a Macbook M1 machine so I can cope by saying I have BSD under the hood :)
A couple of hundred bucks seems pretty reasonable.

You have to source all the parts, make sure they work together properly and assemble the kit.

I mean $200 isn't a lot of money for something you'd potentially get years and years of use out off.
Weil went to a lot of trouble to avoid this kind of categorization (for which we all know the popular term these days) and is uninformative with respect to her work.

She wrote a letter to the Vichy Minister of Education in 1940, What is a Jew?. She writes 'I myself, who profess no religion and never have, have certainly inherited nothing from the Jewish religion, Mine is the Christian, French, Greek tradition. The Hebraic tradition is alien to me and no statute can make it otherwise.'

But seriously, Zoom with either the card game, or an app to run the game is perfect, you don’t need more than that.
the only thing that used to be a problem is the number type. Libraries are ecosystem problem, not inherent to the language.
Russia is Russia. I don’t count it as European though people do. I live in Berlin and it is small (also it’s only 3.6m people metro area). LA is all metro area with no city which is why I don’t think of it as a city. It doesn’t have the density. Measuring Paris’ population by city proper makes no sense at all. Having spent considerable time in all 3 continents and many of the cities mentioned I think there is a significant difference once cities hit 8m+ population. They become much more imposing and seem to suffer from a different class of infrastructure problems than small cities.

Why did you switch from LevelDB to SQLite, apparently without new features? Less than double the file size could be an acceptable price to pay for a performance improvement, or even to try out different technology.

Did you analyze where SQLite wastes space compared to LevelDB? If standard compression removes all redundancy, I'd guess there's simply some slack in pages and individual fields, or unnecessary indices.
Eh, same is happening in Portugal.

In fact now some people are starting to buy their second home in the country side, Lisbon is already fucked and now it's going on in the interior of the country.

Let's not forget that the EU has a long tail, a some countries are at the tip of it with cheap real state for some countries standards.
I personally DIYed mine and it took a lot of tinkering to get a reliable setup. The kit is very well polished and uses the new NEMA steppers. As for pricing, I think it includes 20% VAT, which I assume is removed if you are not in the EU. I personally have spoken to the creator and they have tried very hard to make it as low cost as possible.

If you have a 3D printer and live in a country with decent hardware suppliers (not the case for me in Australia), then sure go ahead, DIY and save money. But for people who want an almost ready to go solution it's very well priced, considering commercial alternatives are well into 500+ for the feature set that this mount offers (GoTo, optional guiding down to 1" accuracy).
I know this struggle well. Survivors bias is an epidemic. It is one of the reasons I started my own security consulting firm.

I feel I am happier and have a wider net impact now that I can choose to invest less time with clients that can't afford to be super interested in security right now and invest more time in those that are.

Weirdly companies seem to listen to security consultants more than their own internal full time security advocates.
Many of the things that could be files not being files is because someone messed up. Why are network interfaces not in /dev? Well, during the UNIX wars, every vendor came up with their own stuff, and much of it wasn't very good. BSD and Linux inherited some of these needless inconsistencies.

Plan 9 is a much more UNIXy system than the dominant UNIX derivatives.
Rust also helps prevent many types of concurrency bugs, and the type system is much more expressive than c's or c++'s, which can lead to cleaner code as well as preventing bugs like null references.
Those D1 schools generate insane amounts of revenue from college and that revenue, in general, goes back to the athletic programs. The university as a whole does use money from those programs to fund education. Those programs don’t pay for their stadiums. They are subsidized by student fees. And those programs that do generate great revenue (but usually not great profit) are still a minority even amongst only D1 schools.
I'm not sure a new language in 21st century should focus on ordered tuples as a core data type. They're fundamentally hard to debug and not evolvable.

Ultimately all objects/structs/records are at their core tuples. But we refer to their attributes by name for a good reason.
I don't know how old you are and for how long you've been programming but your experience mimics my progression.

I started playing with some kind of programming when I was about 9-10, BASIC on a MSX and later HTML that opened up me for web development on ASP 3.0 and PHP at the time.

It was a very big hobby when I was young and turned into a career when I was pretty young, about 16. It stayed as a hobby for another 9-10 years but I got to the point where thinking about programming outside of my paid time was exhausting...

It helped me tremendously, I would never have a career if I wasn't extremely curious about programming for 15-20 years of my life, I just got to the same stage as you did.

There is an evergrowing and endless list of things I want to learn and experience, staying on top of the latest tech on my own free time is just too costly nowadays. I still do it, when I need it for work and during work hours, and all the accumulated experience helps me to figure out things way faster so I don't need to use my free time to catch up. Increasingly rarely I get that curiosity again, to use my free time to study something work-related. When I do it nowadays it's for much larger and abstract concepts such as organisation culture and change, team spirit and building trust and effective communication.

I noticed that the past 5 years of my career has been much more about the human and social aspect of work rather than technical ones. And I didn't try to become a manager, tech lead or product owner, it has just attracted me as I think I always got attracted to gaps of efficiency at work. It seems that seeing this human aspect of work brought me closer to more human aspects of life (arts, music, sociology) and a bit away from controlling the machine I learned when I was a kid.
I see Javascript, ecmascript, typescript, python, and Java -- at least.

And some stuff which might normally be in a standard library.

Didn't read anything about concurrency, etc.

I was looking for a clue if this was a wrapper for Typescript to eventually run on the V8 Javascript engine.

I do have small children, and, for like many others, I get to do my things when everyone are asleep. You seem to have interest (which means you have energy), but the problem seems to be finishing. I have the same issue.

I am maintaining a list of them in a notebook, and am trying to limit the number of them to not more than 8-10 at the same time. And I can only start a new one if I finish an old one.

Everything in that list is a task with a clear Definition Of Done, so I know when I can cross them out. Realistically, each of them would take from 4 hours to a week (assuming full-time). Over the years, many things got done. Slower than I'd like, surely, but I think a SaaS business will come out of those TODOs in a few years.

This way, things are moving forward (since I must complete something), but I am allowing myself freedom to switch effortlessly. That motivates to do *something* when the hour comes. :)
That's an interesting take on it. I expect if you posed that question to the DG he would tell you the answer is "both". He is simultaneously a scientist/engineer and a politician.
Distilled down to its essence a free market grants you protection from involuntary transactions and access to voluntary transactions. Externalities are involuntary transactions, from a free market perspective they aren't any different from robbery or the dreaded... taxes.

However, taxes are collected by the government that our population has voted in (in democratic nations). This is also why we prefer government monopolies over private monopolies, because we have a degree of control, we get to choose.

The only dilemma is that the choice of government is on a societal level, individuals may not get what they voted for. However, there is no good solution to this problem and the search for a solution will only stop after the end of humanity.
As a point of reference, I once wrote an ASP.NET application in 2005 that could easily put out 2000-3000 full-text search result web pages per second... on a 2-core laptop. These days .NET Core 5 is challenging Rust in the web server rankings, so anything less than 10K RPS is a failure... somewhere.
To me it looks that following this chip shortage there will come a massive supply glut as all this manufacturing capacity comes online.

Maybe China and South Korea will be alright, as they can focus on the Chinese market in a world bifurcated by the US-China Tech war, but for the rest of the world, it seems that a supply glut is sure to follow?

> almost universally when I see people use print debugging they seem to take quite a bit longer than just break pointing at the problem area.

Could it be... because they don't know where the problem area is yet? Which is what the original article and most comments in favor of print debugging say.
At least close() is universal (even for stuff like epoll descriptors), and read() and write() are very widely applicable.
I did and couldn’t find any information. I do know at lest 2 major D1 programs have had their stadiums built with taxpayer money and the accounting of those programs’ profitability does not take into account the building of their stadiums. Have you looked into the issue? Do you know of any studies that show college sports programs paying for their stadiums?

I want to stay with Scala. I love it, enjoy it, and play with it to build some frontends (scala.js) on my own. I feel like I've been learning and improving my whole career to become the best engineer I can be, only to then not be interested in building anything.
I don't know why you're being devoted, this is interesting.
The pull request probably wouldn't be accepted because it's a major change and no other Mutter contributors are interested in reviewing such a patch or dealing with the (far-reaching) effects of it. GNOME is just the nonprofit open source project and it doesn't really allocate resources or have resources to spare -- it's got to be a volunteer who works on this who has enough resources to do it in a way that doesn't mess it up for everyone else, maybe that's Canonical who can do it, I don't know. There is also the option of implementing it first in one of the forks (Elementary, Budgie, etc), testing it out for a while, and then submitting it later after it's known that it works and doesn't break everything. Getting upstream to accept a 10,000 line patch is not easy under any circumstances.

There are other window managers that don't support server side decorations, I don't know why people always single out GNOME. Weston is important too, it's not often used directly but it's used as a base for other implementations -- if your app is busted and has no decorations on the reference implementation it can hardly be called a working Wayland app. Server side decorations do have a use case but they're not equivalent to client side decorations. I used to think they were until I tried to implement them in a window manager, now I see server side decorations as mostly a broken concept unless it's in very specific circumstances. The toolkits and apps have to implement client side decorations if they want to ensure the correct behavior everywhere, it's unavoidable.
I do as well, the docs don’t have a concise example of code, why it’s better, and what better looks like.

+1 for marp. Tried it a few months ago and it has now become my defacto choice for presentations.

One particularly great side-effect of being based on VSCode is that not only you can create presentations in VSCode, you can also present them within VSCode. This works pretty great for code-reviews etc. because you can split the editor and have the code (directly from your project) on one side and the presentation on the other, and easily switch back and forth or zoom into the presentation whenever needed using keybindings that you are already familiar with.
Bernoulli's principle seems relevant here, I'm surprised no one has mentioned it.

That is a fair point, but keep in mind the risk of NOT using one. Most people won't have a "strong enough" storage/creation method.

I'd argue even those who think they do probably don't.

To me the whole conversation sounds like this:

- An unknown, low security bank was broken into.

- This proves storing your money in a bank is a terrible idea! This is why I keep all my money in my home.

- No that's definitely a worse idea. Storing your money in a bank is the most secure way to keep your money. It's not infallible but-

- Yes but alone i don't have that much money... It's a lot more attractive if it's in a big oot everybody else's.

- Well no, most good banks invest a lot more in security than you ever would or could.

- No it's okay, because I put it in a box and I have a lock on it.

- Like a safe?

- No. I don't trust safes either.
If you’re looking for a deeper look beyond the anecdotes, I’d recommend James Gleick’s Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman. It covers much more of the ideas he had and what drove him.
> Debugging C++ and especially C# in Visual Studio is wonderful.

... and it's still a royal pain to get your program to display stuff on some text console when you want those printfs.

Also, you have to use Windows. I'd rather avoid that if i can.
All drums - including the snare, but excluding the snare rattle - are modal. They're the 2D/3D implementation of a wave equation.

So instead of having a neat more-or-less integer-based harmonic series like a 1D resonant object (i.e. a string) they have multiple complex resonant modes which are triggered simultaneously, and which decay at different rates.

So they're semi-pitched. There's usually a fundamental, but the other frequencies can be almost as loud. So if you tune the fundamental you can still get dissonance with the other modes.

All of this makes the idea of tuning a bit and miss.
> neural architecture variation

What does that even mean.

Also, if I understand what you write correctly, is not preference of red apples over green also a "neural architecture variation".
If you could write it down I'd be very grateful and go through it all.

Thank you for your consideration. My mental state is pretty ok I think, I'm overall cheerful person, it's just that I'd like there to be more meaning than work.

It's been gradual decline in joy.
Why even state it then if you’re not interested in continuing the discussion?
They don't rely on transferring the password via an insecure channel - your clipboard.

Other applications can sniff the clipboard, you might accidentally copy another of your credentials into website or you might forget to clear it after use and then later accidentally paste it into an irc-channel.

There is also risk of visually exposing the password in the text editor, either to someone else in the room, screen sharing or screenshot from another malicious app.

A bit into the tinfoil-hat side, but it's passwords we are talking about after all.
