Why stop there? We could just load them up on an assembly line and have one of those automotive robotic arms use an air gun on them like they do for cattle. Better yet just rip their heads clean off with an automated guillotine. Then us regular folk could check it out on the latest “how it’s made” episode and remark to our selves on how satisfying the sheer efficiency of it is. Do that long enough and we could even have kids react to the old people’s way of electrocuting them in a chair. They’ll think that shit be cray. Sounds to me like the killing business is ripe for disruption.
I think it makes a difference when you've got bit packed fields. For example a 32-bit word with a 16-bit field a 4-bit field and a 12-bit field.

If you want that 12-bit value to work nice, it's probably going to be all the bits of byte 0 and the lower half of byte 1. (Or the upper half of byte 0 and all of byte 1). That looks best if you write bits and bytes right to left from zero. That 12-bit value uses bits 0-11 and you can mask it from your 32-bit read with 0xfff. The 4-bit value you can mask with 0xf00 and then shift (or shift first, whatever)

Wow, that's an ugly dev response.
I still think there would certainly still be plenty interesting things to reverse engineer even if mainstream computing hardware would be open as it should be.

Some obscure HPC stuff, vintage mainframes, old games with long lost source code, historic military computing harware, CNC controllers & industrial SCADA devices, consumer device MCUs, advanced radio hardware - lot of stuff to dive into without really knowing what to expect. :)
How to Learn Nix
Isn't java famous for backwards compatibility?
Of course I wouldn't have the same reaction.

North Korea is a brutal dictatorship. What are you trying to imply with the question? That brutal dictatorships are not so bad an we've been lied to? Do you live or have you ever spent some time in one? Cause I do and I think people defending dictatorships deserve a swift kick in the nuts.
i would love just the ability to search for images by text in them (like screenshots). the rest of the stuff is too much.
Yes, that's correct. But instead of catching the error at that point, you would probably rather want to disable these methods from the beginning so that someone cannot even make the mistake of using them and has to go through some custom defined method instead.
Since it was an invention to make it easier on people who do the executions, yes we probably don't have to focus on optimizing our disconnect to killing.
Smithy is very focused on codegen, so the model is highly normalized. So for example, defining a list of something needs to be done using a `list` shape. This kind of list is something you'd see directly serialized and sent over the wire. For example:

list Messages {
member: Messages
}

Then you can reference Messages from other places in the model, like from a structure:

structure Something {
messages: Messages
}

In contrast, the `[City]` syntax is used in other places in the IDL to define a relationship to a shape. This isn't something that gets sent over the wire, it's just used to form essentially a relationship in the service graph from a service to resources, a resource to operations, an operation to errors, etc. For example:

service Weather {
resources: [City, Sensors]
}
Opinionated, maybe. Entitled?? That's way out of line.
Oh wow, so the paid reviewers actually “buy” the product. What a shit show.

Amazon probably doesn’t consider this much of a priority to deal with as it doesn’t hurt them just their customers.

In my local area, garbage fees are used to pay for the losses of recycling. That's the usual thing in the US. Same thing for residential waste in landfills.
Which is a strong indication that state or pan-nation but tax-funded aid and reconstruction programmes are better than charity. Yet, we insist in the feel good model of donations for reuse, or only for the tax write-off.

Not that it doesn't have or keep perpetuating problems of its own: obligatory labour laws, and forced market models are strings attached to world bank funding which can ruin an economy faster than you can say "chicago boys"
Yeah, microeconomics, make it more costly and harder to Crete fake reviews.

Amazon has the brain power and resources to mitigate this problem...

Wat. Killing someone brings closure? Since when?
I honestly think I’d be pro-death penalty in a world where 100% of the sentences are accurate.

But that’s not the world we live in so I’m 100% opposed.
What the article is saying here is, --ignoring the rest of the Amazon (A), if you take the amount of CO2 what would have been sequestered if the forest had been left alone (B) and then add it to the amount of CO2 emitted by whatever business interests thereafter occupied the land (C) you get a large number of greenhouse gases! Such that, when you subtract that from the amount of CO2 the Amazon would have absorbed if not for A, you get a negative number.--

They're double counting the deforestation. There's nothing else to see here.
Fuck coupons if they enable fraud.
If it's ripping, is it really a guillotine?
I've had mixed success with VSCode and JVM related stuff. Although the projects I was working on were using some really obscure Maven stuff and god forbid gradle.
At my place of employment we do standups on a per project basis. There are 2-5 projects in flight at any given time and this has created an environment where we are attending 2-5 daily standups to read tickets out of Jira and discuss the status of each ticket.
FWIW this has been exactly my experience trying to learn nix as well... and I used to (five years ago) be a guru-level Coq/Haskell programmer working on GHC internals.

It would be helpful if Nix had a standalone document that specified its plumbing from first principles, without reference to the porcelain.
Why not? It's fascinating the philosophical hoops we jump through to justify what is a disgusting, barbaric act however you actually do it. Anyone who supports the death penalty should be required by law to watch it carried out.
If someone can solve the huge drop in people who donate if they have to put in any effort it would be amazing.
Yeah, I have to call Bullshit that Amazon couldn’t stop at least organized mass fraud.
It sounds like you’re mixing up density and crowding: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EwBYGX7VcAIwYXL.jpg
For private pilots, your insurance rates are based on how often you fly, in the inverse of how car insurance is priced: more hours per year, lower rates.

I used to do the same, but once I learned that the owner/could makes over $2 million a year, I drop my junk their too. He can afford to trash it for me.
Strokes can be caused by a variety of factors and are increasingly common as people age regardless of physical fitness and diet.

An injury or illness leading to bed rest can cause clots to form. Clots can just form anyways. High blood pressure. Which, again, becomes increasingly common as people age regardless of fitness level and diet.

Many Australian charity shops used mandatory test-and-tag legislation to simply stop accepting them.

Some white goods and furniture do help people eg setting up a house after fleeing domestic violence.

At UK university in the late seventies we qualified for a salvation army refurbished gas stove, to equip our house. Being grant funded students, it kind of made sense. Since we'd bought the house, I still have a fundamental disconnect about this. (The gas company insisted we get a slot meter for the gas for 3 months because we had no credit record. The coal company on the other hand, delivered a quarter ton of coal on spec, for a commitment to pay sometime in the future and sign to a one year delivery schedule. I guess we should have learned how to cook over the anthracite fire)

What charity shops want is people to behave nicely. Dumping crap over the Christmas holidays on their doorstep costs them money carting it away. During natural disasters the problems get much worse, cyclones seem to cause people to aim for a feel good outcome by trading up.

The clothes which don't sell often become "shoddy" which is often felt underlay and removals padding cloth, for one more round of use. Padded envelopes too, they're more paper and shredded plastic these days. Cotton could be paper, if we could separate out the artificial fibre.
It's not really a fully finished project yet, so not much. We shipped the AWS SDK for JS v3 with Smithy, the AWS SDK for Go v2 with Smithy, and just launched an alpha of the AWS SDK for Rust using Smithy. More are in the works. We're currently iterating on their code generators to make them easier to use outside the AWS SDKs. AWS SDKs are being built in a layered approach where there's a generic code generator that's really extensible, and then the AWS SDKs extend it to add AWS-specific stuff like regions and credential handling.

We're working to get projects like these to GA: https://github.com/awslabs/smithy-typescript, https://github.com/aws/smithy-go, and https://github.com/awslabs/smithy-rs. And we're also working on service code generation.
How American is this country going to get?
I'm not sure if the real issue there was the foster and medical system in America 30 years or so ago or the sheltered workshop. Each sheltered workshop (Australian Disability Enterprises) I have volunteered with or worked with has been funded privately and/or run at a loss. They are not able to shunt a child with a disability into a position where they are sorting nuts and bolts etc. The other choice for a lot of these employees is to stay home or attend care centers. There are more benefits to including people in a work environment than excluding, even if it means creating one for them specifically.
TL;DR: poor work life balance, location isn’t flexible

Where am I "basically saying" any of those things?
I would believe a North Korean farmer even more, that he was content with this life. A North Korean farmer who has eaten the same dinner every day for the last ten years is doing pretty well - it would mean they have avoided many of the North Korean famines and prison camps.
Who are the 4%?
The good old binary. Let's just assume we _have_ to kill someone. We just have too. Now let's assume there are two ways to kill people. Nice. Gotta shoot em is the right answer.

Plus there's a certain panache to a firing squad. By that I mean it's more dignified.

Developed nations still have a lot of levers for meddling around with the behavior of developing nations. E.g. subsidizing clean technology, but also, sanctions and a level of political interference (which to be realistic hasn't gone very well in the past).

In the more extreme slivers of speculation, climate change might be the thing that undoes the very concept of nation state sovereignty, when the model of absolute freedom to do whatever runs into the reality that we have the technology to affect the entire earth. On the other hand this model wasn't all that old to begin with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westphalian_sovereignty

I’ll add that food banks also prefer money over the can of beans that’s been sitting in your pantry for six months. They can buy in bulk at great rates and they know what the community needs.
Well, no. I seem to remember the history of the guillotine would preclude ripping as it was supposed to be cleaner than other chopping methods.

Do you think the same logic applies to prisons? e.g. If the state imprisons one innocent person than it is as bad as a kidnapper who abducted an innocent person and held them against their will?

Biomass and Other Dubious Renewables
Death is not the worst things in life, an unreasonably large fear of death is much worse. A death cowering in fear, or full of regret is pathetic.

Who do you think you are picking who dies like a tyrant doling favors? Do you not think I have elderly loved ones I worry about? Do you think I would enjoy getting COVID myself, or potentially orphaning my daughters? No! I just refuse to blow my kids mind with endless lock downs.

My obligation is to take COVID seriously, and do my utmost not to get sick myself. If I do, ill lock myself up in the basement for as long as it takes.

But with my obligations I also have rights, and Ill be damned if someone too scared to have ever pondered their own mortality will ruin life for me without protest.
Probably one or two years ago I randomly met this wonderful tool amidst dealing with a VSCode Remote SSH problem via search. The story begins with using VSCode remote SSH on a HPC that is running CentOS 6. VSCode Remote SSH ship with a Node binary that is dynamically linked to a glibc that is not supported on older OSes such as CentOS 6 https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/linux . I am not the system manager on the HPC and could not update the system myself, and VSCode team is too arrogant to support those old OSes. Alhough I have a homebrew environment and has a new glibc built there, the Node VSCode does not recognize that from environment variable. Manually update string in the node binary’s strings does provide me with solution at least: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/10...
As a researcher I am really thankful of the developer who created this wonderful tool.
If a firing squad is somehow moving anything in the right direction then god help you.
http://stuffin.space/ is neat too. It actually shows all of the satellites around the Earth in 3D.
Basically this. I have no objections to offing people who have offed others, but I cannot reconcile the death penalty with lack of trust in government. If they make simple mistakes then they cannot be trusted to implement the death penalty with 100% certainty.
They’re been able to create a service or two for AWS so they clearly have the horsepower to resolve this unacceptable problem that’s eroding their credibility. They have a lot of cred now which I assume they don’t want sliding down a slippery slope.
The injection is torturous too.

Give the poor bastards a good dose of heroin, that's far more humane than what exists currently.

Or, we could move past being a primitive society that kills its own as punishment.
I did a similar thing using the IMGKit gem https://github.com/csquared/IMGKit that uses wkhtmltoimage to generate a PNG from HTML. I believe you could use wkhtmltoimage directly and skip Puppeteer.
Activities like extensive logging for cattle ranching are driven by economic returns, global agreements and policy is not enough. There has to be a competing economic alternative that makes it more profitable to preserve rather than destroy the rainforest.
When I first saw the headline, I feared that they'd be switching them out for some kind of horrible flat icon monstrosities. But these are actually pretty cool and definitely triggered some nostalgia for the computer I learned to program on (an Apple ][+ clone).

At this point, floppy disk drives are an anachronism anyway so it doesn't really matter which era you depict them from. If you're going to show them at all you might as well go all the way back.
You’re proposing invading a sovereign country and seizing their natural resources?
Wacom is a good example of patent lock-in. For years they held all the necessary patents to the battery less EMR pen technology and only ever made high end pro-level devices and only ever licensed the technology to makers of high end pen input devices. End result - a generation of digital artists deprived of tools they needed (especially affordable pen displays, only Wacom used to sell those due to the patents they held and at mind-bogglingly high prices).

Now finally a few years ago their patents finally lapsed, forcing them to finally compete with other companies on price and quality.

End result - affordable 13 inch pen displays available at about third to quarter of the old Wacom price from multiple vendors.

I can only imagine the situation is similar if the original E-ink developers managed to patent all the necessary technologies to bloc everybody else.

Same thing for 3D printing - it only really took off once Stratasis could no longer milk their FDM patents to block all progress in affordable 3D printing area.
Websockets seems strictly more efficient than this strange attempt to create your own protocol. Not sure what challenges you've had with websockets, but I can't see how SSE is more efficient. Especially when creating protocols like client -> server where you'd need really custom edge proxy configuratings.

I'd gladly trade capital punishment to end the holocaust that is abortion.

Both are woes, so I'll fall short of comparing the magnitude of them.

In a rational world yes... The company scheduled 8hrs/day of work on a project in its schedules-- no time taken out for breaks, mandatory trainings, meetings, etc. They wouldn't even account for things like vacation time, holidays, or even pregnancy. I remember one engineer became pregnant, and she still had a development schedule of 8/hrs a day in the estimates. This problem was pretty obvious 6 months out or so.

You'd say it is just bad management-- and it is-- but its a control technique.
I taught myself PHP from an old LAMP stack for dummies book years before any formal education in programming. Are you saying you need to actually program in addition to reading? No one is debating you need to work on math problems in addition to reading the definitions to learn math.
Tragedy of the commons. There is nothing more than wood that can be exploited from the Amazon, so nobody steps in. But if that jungle were to disappear, humanity would be in grave danger. But there would be no profit to made, so nobody acts.

Invading a foreign country to prevent them from fucking up the planet is definitely a new thing in the international diplomacy book, but it will happen more and more.
Red Kubes – Make Kubernetes less expensive and simple with Otomi
Sounds like it, before it was for oil and fertile lands. Now we will see it for water and CO2.
That would be a novel idea.
Also another reason I have to come up with this is though VSCode is open-sourced, VSCode’s remote SSH extension is private. I had to look into the extension module’s uglified source code to figure out what is happening out there… Alternative solution would involve edit the uglified js file https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/10...
If the Tokyo we know didn’t exist because long ago they enacted single-family-houses-only zoning, I’m sure we’d see a comment like this explaining why it would be impossible to scale its metropolitan-area population to 14M people, or find 14M people who would want to live there.

I cant speak for the OP, but for those of us who have given life and death some thought, lockdowns are worse than death.
So I’m the only person who’s reading this as a parody? I’m trying not to dismiss it, I understand this might be a real person’s honest thoughts and experiences. But it has a cadence, repetition, provocation and smart innocence that could be an Onion article if penned by Douglas Adams.

I recognize a lot of myself and several of my family members in the letter, but I think they’d take it the same way.
That doesn't look like double-counting the effects of the deforestation, just breaking it down into two segments: the difference between leaving the forest in place vs. cutting it down, and then the difference between leaving the now-bare land idle vs. using it for industry.
Yes, I definitely see those as red flags. And I'm not unhappy, just being helpful for those who maybe aren't paying close attention. Would hate for them to end up in another WhatsApp situation!
It depends on which type of pension fund and is generally more complicated than a single reason.

One big general cause of failure was that companies were allowed to stop paying into the funds without paying enough into the fund to cover their employees who would receive.

However, the particulars don't actually matter here. No matter the reason, it will have been the responsibility of the employer, fund manager or government regulators. The average Joe, who will lose his retirement if the pension is allowed to go bankrupt, didn't have enough control of the fund to be held responsible. As such, punishing him will do nothing to de-incentivize this from happening again.
