This feels like a pretty dramatic response when this is already a problem with child_process.exec and most shell scripting languages in the first place.

I’m not sure what you’re expecting if you’re taking arbitrary IO output to build up a process with arguments separated by spaces. A lot of things had to go wrong before you get to this point.

If we’re being realistic here, this library’s likely intended use is for this is smallish scripts anyways… not large pieces of software that are creating commands on the fly to from arbitrary IO
Liberty and Accountability go hand-in-hand. When you try to decouple them, you decrease Liberty and sometimes make it nonviable.

I think Deno may be a good choice in this use case: single binary that has a good standard-lib makes it seem like a good candidate for simple shell and pipeline scripting.
If that's your best argument against Gnome it seems like they are doing pretty well.

Decorations can be done client-side with a library if needed - there is no reason to push that work to the compositor.
Thats actually a well known phenomenon - in countries where kidnapping is widespread, the kidnapper is a 'businessman', they are not there to kill people and they evade justice and keep low-ish profile.

No, vegans are the minority in the above example.

A minority of people are caused distress by having their children vaccinated because they think vaccines cause autism. Should we stop causing suffering to this minority by stopping all vacciantions? Or is it ok to cause suffering to humans who are minorities because they are minorities?
"Was this review helpful to you?" Maybe there should be a concerted effort of "people" to start clicking "No" to that question on obvious fake reviews. There's already sites tracking bad reviews, so "borrow" their list, create some bots, and start negating fake reviews. ??
It doesn't take a genius or a DCF model to know that investing in Apple a couple years post-iPhone is a no-brainer. Momentum and trend based investing is just as successful as nerding out over numbers. You can simply be right in broad strokes and be successful - you don't have to get every detail right. It helps to have a long time horizon.
Sorry for being a bit late for the reply, however just suppose that enough resources are used to "convince" hardware manufacturers to add a small code change to their firmware such as "if a packet contains this exact magic word, don't count it and pass it on along with the payload, and possibly send a copy to this other address, again without counting it" where "counting" means also not signaling it is going through the hardware: no management interface would see it, and LEDs on network hardware panels wouldnt even blink.
In other words, to actually see that packet one would have to be on the other side.

Admittedly it's absurdly complicated to do that at global level, but let's say someone in the right place manages to do that, the next level would be doing the same at iron level on computers, so that each subsystem can talk with others and the external world without administration tools noticing, because it's all done through a covert channel set up by closed software. That would be the perfect weapon to build pervasive surveillance that no security software at any privilege level, not even debuggers, would detect.

The only way to find something fishy is going on would be to sniff inter-chip communications locally and set digital analyzers on network cables with appropriate software. Network analyzers could fail if they use the same network chipsets, as would do a normal packet monitor.
Let's get one thing straight, we the users don't like ads that are intrusive, manipulating and data generating when it doesn't have to be. This guy makes it look like (or want to make it look like) we are complaining about ads. No, we just don't want to be tracked. Simple.

He is also just normalising the whole surveillance part by not bringing it up, ever! All he is doing is talking about the top layer of what an ad is and what it is for and how the users are interacting with them etc. This doesn't talk about tracking your ip address, your location across services, your search history, your video watching history and everything else that you have interacted with. Then using it to manipulate you.

And I actually think it has been extremely smart and cunning to play the mind game of "look, it is not for you, it is for the smaller and poor people who can't afford it. THE POOR PEOPLE!". This works I am sure.

Facebook literally did this by displaying ads on big news papers on behalf of "small businesses" when they were threatened by Apple's privacy features which actually protected the end users.

Ad businesses like Ad Sense etc in it's current form doesn't do anything else than being intrusive and eventually become used against you by businesses to manipulate you or govts to oppress you.

I will give a simple example. The ads that comes as sponsored in youtube channels where the youtube creator gives a shout out to some services / products, or ads in podcasts that are directly related to the content of the creator things definitely have more impact on the creators monetary department. You would've heard a lot of youtube creators admitting the same.

SO YES, ADS WORK. SURVEILLANCE, MANIPULATING AD BUSINESS LIKE AD SENSE DOESN'T!

I would suggest people to keep questioning these kind of smart people to work on something worth while than tracking and not to mention shadow tracking people to just create data which can be sold to third parties which the end users are unaware of, among soo many other things. In all sense, jeezz! Get a life!!

PS: This would be my one and probably only "cut the bulshit honey comment" when I know these people are smart enough to understand the consequences but want to virtue signal by saying, I donate to good causes blah blah blah. This is a very common and well put consistent messaging we/I have been hearing over and over. So yeah, I don't want to give a benefit of the doubt.

I believe it's important to always mention in conjunction with this book that, after decades of existence, the No Starch finally discovered C's natural mascot: Cthulhu. Cthulhu is powerful, to be respected and feared and, if malignantly unleashed, will be the end of the world. Just like C.
They often prescribe brands in the sense that they will literally write the brand name in their own hand on the prescription, and that is technically literally exactly the prescription. However, the pharmacy can substitute a perfectly equivalent drug on its own recognizance based on the doctor's prescription, but the distinction seems to technically exist. (The pharmacist position takes a lot of study and licensing as well.) I believe a doctor can or could write "no substitutions", but things aren't quite bad enough that a doctor would risk their license to do that to bolster sales for a brand or block a patient from receiving generic medication--they'd need some kind of concrete reason, like knowing or suspecting a patient is allergic to an inactive ingredient. (It's all theory, because our doctors are overworked and would never pay that kind of attention.)
Thanks for sharing this, I have never heard of VRU or the American versions in Boston and Cincinnati. Though I'm no fan of reliance on stop-and-search.
That's my opinion?
Not if you:

a) use an OS besides Linux (and whichever other unix-likes that have wayland compat now, last I hear FreeBSD had ... some degree of support), and/or

b) don't use wayland. Alacritty even works on Windows!

That's where the trouble will come. I can see trend emerge where essential functionality could be blocked on account of tracking being disabled. I have some faith policies and people will work against this but i've seen so many dark patterns in freemium that I think this sort of dishonesty could just work.

I feel like adults supervising minors are responsible for their safety. Even now it’s not a minor who is fined if they aren’t wearing a seatbelt, it’s the driver.

I find the point about financial burden to society more interesting because it’s hard to articulate a clear test that would indicate whether society is a victim or not. A few others have made the same point as you. I’d love if anyone has ideas here.

> Wait! They actually do. Apple allows targeting ads in the App Store by things that require data collection.

AFAIK Apple's ad targeting is largely based on self-reported stuff like demographic information and what you're subscribed to in Apple News or Music. It's not doing the kind of massive log-ingestion and cross-site tracking to do psychographic profiling that people tend to find most problematic.
It's not that anybody wants to obfuscate things. But with clever mechanisms, people start to notice that they did only when it's too late.

C macros can be useful, I would enjoy programming in this language much less if they weren't there. And if I build a reasonable abstraction with them, it's as little as a grep or go-to declaration to find out the definition. There are no implicit complicated resolution mechanims, no complicated internal data structures that keep what should be application data isolated in the compiler (so it has to be duplicated in other parts of the code). With macros, I just search for the name, and will usually quickly find the definition with very little additional indirection.
Though as we recently learned, it's considered sufficiently "fringe" by a big chunk of the development community that it's not that big a deal to drop support for it. (Not to imply IBM couldn't be sponsoring development for it more).

RTK Query was heavily inspired by React Query, Apollo, Urql, and SWR, in terms of API design and problem space. But, it has some unique differences in approach as far as specifying what API endpoints you interact with.

But you have to care about FileInputStreams, bytes and CompletableFutures.

The "best" we have to offer today as "pure" business logic programing is some BPMN framework/platform.. and that is mostly hell of Earth..

COBOL is not coming back because that time has passed, however something with the basic essence and principals of COBOL is desperately needed. Don't ask me what and how because I don't know either.
Sure you can do everything with a library, and that's how you end up with library hell, or dependencies that will be hard to get rid of or replaced later, because how big they become or how broken the API was (e.g. fontconfig). But being the only ecosystem where that's needed is pushing some heavy boilerplate on developers. Why would games, or non-gnome apps care about decoration? There's plenty of good examples of applications where the decoration being forced on them doesn't make sense. The protocol is also standardized and gnome is the only wayland compositor that refuses to implement it, this is not the only case where gnome devs just decide to be jerks.

Things like these are why I think I'll never will be using wayland as it just breaks everyone's existing applications and workflows. wlroots and sway developers are doing good work to try to bring wayland and its tools to same level as X11, but then we have these other groups that just actively reject anything that doesn't go along with their "vision". And I speak as someone who wrote one of the first wayland compositors, and one of the first wayland compositor libraries, which code partially still exists in wlroots.
I reviewed books regularly on Amazon years ago and made it into their top 10,000 reviewers list. Ever since then, I regularly get emails from Amazon sellers asking me to review their products. Before Amazon introduced the "verified purchase" system, they would offer to send me the product, now they ask me to buy their product and they'll refund me on PayPal.

I still get a few emails every week, even though it's been years since I reviewed anything and I'm now reviewer #1,263,485.
How does the analogy break? Do you think you can't tear up landscaping? To add a ramp you have to do work to undo the existing landscaping, install the ramp, and then redo the landscaping in a way that fits with the ramp.
You could have been downvoted by "true americans" that hate any kind of regulation and think that free market solves anything.

IMO regulation for more transparency should be no issue with the anti-regulation fans except if they would be affected by transparency.
Cycles can't as a general rule keep up with cars, unlike motorcycles. There's no integrating them with auto traffic whether or not you force them into the same roadway.

Part of good separate path design is planning the intersections to prevent the sort of crashes you're describing. I've seen some designs that make sense - it's rather interesting actually what nuances go into safe intersection design. I don't have any links available offhand though.
I tend to forget how customizable phone settings have become. When I had my first iPhone 3G the settings were quite meager. It feels like by now I'm conditioned to just expect the experience to be consistent throughout the life of the device. The thought of playing with settings rarely occurs to me unless I'm actively having an problem with an app.
You could even build your own Power ISA system with Microwatt, which is fully synthesizeable and growing by leaps and bounds.

(Disclaimer: minor contributor)

I really liked PA-RISC. I thought it was a clean ISA with good performance at the time and avoided many of the pitfalls of other implementations. I think HP didn't want to pour lots of money into it to keep it competitive, though, and was happy to bail out for Itanium when it was viable. My big C8000 is a power hungry titan, makes the Quad G5 seem thrifty.
So what’s the alternative? Tent camps under every freeway overpass and near every park and green space with roaming tweakers and junkies stealing bikes and any other property not locked down? Honestly that seems like the worse option. It seems like the bleeding heart strategy of letting these people just go about their day is just a slow death for those drug users and lowers quality of life for everyone else. Why is there no middle ground like in Europe? America is too extreme. Either we lock people up for a joint or we give them more needles to use heroin and enable their addiction. It is totally bizarre in my opinion. California looks dirtier than most third-world countries I’ve been to. Clearly we can do better.
Just like movie recommendations. "Other people like you gave this 4 stars".

Combine that with a lot of machine learning and you could probably get a very accurate way to judge which products will delight which customers.

I wonder - could a third party do this? Amazon reviews could all be scraped...
So the star ratings can be gamed but not the 'helpful' button?
Having observed this for a while that often seems to be just the way Gnome works. Patches that help non-Gnome projects are held to a much higher (sometimes unobtainable) standard than patches that help members of the Gnome foundation. It seems very insular, and if you want to "scratch your own itch" as an outsider expect to take 5-20x as much effort for the same feature.

There will always be a reason why this patch isn't acceptable, despite the overall code-quality in gnome projects being... what it is. I'd bet if a Gnome app needed this feature that patch would have been quickly and quietly accepted.
No, because "other people did horrible things too" isn't a valid excuse.
This doesn’t square with the fact that many of the most gun dense states have the lowest violent crime rates. New Hampshire has tons of guns, violent crime comparable to Nordic countries.

I’d say in order the biggest determinants are: culture, social cohesion, and poverty.

I put culture and social cohesion ahead of income because plenty of poorer asian countries do much better than richer european countries.
You should read the article for more context. As the author points out, reduced crime skews the overall statistical population of the prison system toward the more violent crimes due to prison length, which is the context of that formula.

Sending someone to jail does not magically cure them of their meth addiction. It probably compounds it as whatever sense of desperation or alienation drove them to drugs is now catalyzed by the inability to find meaningful work with due to a drug conviction / prison time. The solution should be to help these people get off of drugs but that is a society wide effort that needs to occur. Its much easier just to send a a few armed dudes over to rough them up and throw them in a cell. America does love to remove its undesirables from the view of others.
Do people of color actually take matters into their own hands?

Irrelevant, my comment is about white people taking matters into their own hands by torturing and murdering black people, which is a specific case of the comment about communities enforcing laws for themselves. Speak to that, or go elsewhere to ask about other forms of vigilante justice.

There is an incredible amount of violent crime in black communities that other black people have done nothing to mitigate.

I am not in the mood to rehash the “black-on-black violence, what are black people doing about it” trope. It is not my responsibility to pivot to discussing your pet topic given that I was talking about lynching.

This is a blatant example of “whataboutism” rhetoric, and I’m not going to play along.

> These are then immediately followed by a 1 star review along the lines of "This is the biggest piece of junk I've ever bought online. Will be returning to Amazon. DO NOT BUY!"

Sometimes I wonder about even these ones though - they could have been written by those with a competing product being sold on Amazon.

> For example, a product gets a lot of 5 star reviews stating that the buyer bought it for their child/relative/friend and they are just sure that they will love it... 5 stars! Or "I just got this delivered yesterday and I haven't used it yet but it looks really great!"... 5 stars.

That doesn’t sound necessarily fake, that just sounds like humans being humans. You see this in many reviews on other sites, as well.

Not saying they’re not fake, but my understanding was that the fake reviews usually go through a little more effort than that.
Way too much sympathy for criminals in this thread. Most people in prison could have trivially avoided being there by not committing crimes. Many of the people in prison imposed a massive cost on their community and its good they have been removed. Considering how many rapists and murders get away with it the prison population should be even higher.
Not wearing a seatbelt in accident could be argued increases the cost of your healthcare treatment (or possibly reduces if you go too fast). In same vein as that insurance example. Consuming drugs - what about blowing pot smoke on kids playing in the park or walking across the street? Leaving used needles scattered on the ground? What about smoking pot with a friend? What all conditions must be OK for that friend to co-smoke?

We can come up with more or less obscure but real examples all day. That's not how laws should be designed.
>Gnome is one of those projects that should be considered "free in license only". While the project is free to hack on as you wish for your own purposes, your chances of being able to influence the development of the main project are minuscule.

That's not been my experience at all. The outrage machine on social media tends to spread around the small handful of patches that do get rejected so they can get angry about it, but they never talk about the other thousands of patches that do get accepted. Go look through all the other MRs on the gitlab if you don't believe me. Yes sometimes patches get rejected, it happens in any open source project.
> If we get 1 req/s, even for a dataset of that size, this is not as cost efficient.

How many req/s do you have in mind for your system to be a viable option?

> Also EBS throughput (even with SSD) is not good at all.

It is not worse than S3 still, right?

> Chatnoir.eu is the only other common crawl cluster we know of. It consists of 120 nodes.

I have no deep ES experience. Are you saying, that to host 6TB of indexed data (before replication) you'd need 120 nodes ES cluster? If so, then reducing it to just 2 nodes is the real sales pitch, not S3 usage :)

Well water is even harder to regulate, because anyone can sink their own well whenever they want to. There’s no state owned tap to which you can attach a meter and send a bill for.
Ordinary variable substitution in shells splits on spaces, which is still bad, but at least doesn’t immediately lead to arbitrary code execution. I’m expecting at the very least an equivalent of Python’s shlex.quote. This is supposed to be an improvement on the status quo, not a regression.
Just when you thought social media reached peak toxicity. It’s going to be a disaster and is a disservice to the journalistic integrity.
Inward to whom? Every human? Isn't that just as "vague" and unfair to blame even the slaves for their slavery?
Not wearing a seat belt does not impact only yourself. If you are driving and encounter a situation where you have to swerve sharply to avoid an accident and you are not wearing a seat belt it is harder to maintain control of the car.

A sharp swerve tends to make you lurch to the side relative to the car, which tends to cause you to turn the steering wheel more or less than you intended to turn it. A properly used seat belt limits the extent of that lurch.

If you've got access to a big empty parking lot, it is interesting to do some testing making sharp turns with and without your seat belt. That belt makes a lot of difference.
This might be the most insightful comment I’ve seen on this issue.
Dumb question perhaps, but why does startup time matter much for a terminal emulator of the tabbed / multi-window variety? E.g. Konsole uses one process for all windows and tabs, so it only really starts when you close every terminal.
In the sense that "to our surprise" identifies "us" with identity and agency, it is.
