Only one of five mirrors works, but then I discovered that the last version is from 2002, so I guess it's surprising that Ibiblio still holds out.

I vaguely remember the name—however from some time recovery tools changed to mini-CD for me, which is not too large either with ~170 mb or something like that. I gotta find the name of whatever recovery-CD build I had, since it's got memtest86+, which can still come in handy…
1 million IPs per second is doable with gigE if we're just sending a syn to port 22. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume your server has at least gigE.
> Several online food delivery systems in the US already permanently block Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 VPN product by IP, using Cloudflare’s own CDN protection tools!

If they use Cloudflare, then that block is dumb. Sites behind Cloudflare are able to see the real IP of a 1.1.1.1 WARP user. Non-Cloudflare sites will see Cloudflare's IP.

I totally agree. I'm making the narrow point that a mortgage is a debt, and classified as a liability. A house is an asset. The benefit of purchasing real estate with leverage vs cash doesn't change how they sit on a balance sheet.

Personally I argue to everyone they should put down as little as possible for the reasons you're stating.
> Who are these people accountable to?

I mean, this is exactly why we have civil litigation. I suppose the fly in the ointment is that it’s going to be hard to find anyone individually responsible, so it’s likely that the taxpayer would end up footing the bill.

What if it is a worldwide mining pool that is paying out worldwide, like most coin mining pools currently do?

That would result in income earned in many different tax jurisdictions paid to many more tax jurisdictions, kinda impractical as the pool is contributing compute but the winnings are shared among all the miners.

And would we just use the honor system for Monero mined in China/India/Africa/Indonesia/wherever? There is no incentive apart from these hypothetical miners import agreement being revoked to not mix the coins up.

This might sound a little crass, but while I do agree that wind, solar, and nuclear are the future of power generation I also believe that cap and trade and its resultant currency of offset credits are morally equivalent to the indulgence system that the catholic church had set up in the medieval thorough early modern era.

So basically when Bill Gates is trying to offset his carbon credits he's basically paying the priests of his new religion to be able to fly all over the world without a guilty conscience, whilst the poors are agonizing over bagging their groceries with plastic bags because the red states don't want to ban them.

Just because a mortgage is a liability doesn't mean it's a bad financial decision to incur a mortgage to own a house, agreed.
This is why I wish Marx's thoughts were actually gone over in standard philosophy/economics/history college curricula. For having had such a deep impact on the world, the average level of comprehension about what Marxism even was among well educated people is so frightfully low. The fact that so many conflate it with central planning and state capitalism is a clear example of it. If we ever hope to understand, in a thorough and critical way, why Marxism in the 20th century was a failed project, we need to actually learn what it was.
Diving deep into the BEAM and OTP (via Elixir for me) had a similar effect. Completely changed the way I think about code and I notice so many headaches in other languages that I just never paid attention to before.
> More competitiveness necessarily implies more frictional unemployment. You can't have one without the other.

Nonsense. You’re thinking about competition for jobs. But I’m talking about competition to hire.

>I'm not saying you should, I'm saying an argument that points to universal healthcare as an objective practice requires it.

You’re asserting that it does. I’m arguing that an argument for it doesn’t require it. That’s one for practitioners and a wider audience to flush out.

> Exactly. There isn't an agreed upon objective basis for what qualifies as 'essential'.

And as before, I’m pointing out that aside from some clear cut cases, it’s not required to be “objective”.

There’s no objective reason why we enjoy various freedoms in the US, other than emotional reasons and desires.

Another fun fact is that Quake 1 fits on a floppy if you throw away the single-player maps and most of the character models, leaving like six of the models and a handful of multiplayer maps (wasn't there also six of them in total?). Which was enough for my school, where Q1 thus kept replicating onto computers every time after being deleted by the sysadmins.
You can run a fully functional voip and chat client within that order of magnitude (Ripcord) whereas the 'real client' (Discord) doing the same thing is 10x that.

One of the authors here, happy to answer questions.
Postgres has some disadvantages that can pop up on certain workloads (eg. bloat) but so does MySQL. And most of those limitations are only when you've got long open transactions, trying to hammer it IO wise, or you're making really big databases (100GB-1TB or more). However for both Postgres and MySQL there is plenty of documentation about these problems, and how to resolve them. So you'll never be "stuck" with issues.

In general I find postgres "just works" a lot more than MySQL. MySQL has a really bad habit of sticking with bad defaults for a long period, while having better configuration available. On the other hand postgres devs actively remove/change defaults so you're always getting the best it has to offer.

If you pick one, and you don't like it there are plenty of tools to change between them. If you're curious you could even deploy both of them.
> The research, which is an observational study that hasn't yet been peer-reviewed, ...

Yeah, okay.
Just to add, the changes are just config changes at this point and not code changes.

One one user talking own all APIs, the system has ability to skip unmountable APIs, but we catch it during user interactions with tons of test and validations.
Assume you are hashbanging /bin/bash at the top of your /sbin/init. Ensure that shell does not have missing dependencies and is compiled for the matching arch. It can be fiddly to supply shared object dependencies for the shell. It is easier to use a statically linked shell while bootstrapping.

Idea: create a hello world program in c, configure your make script to statically link it, make sure it is compiled for the same arch as the distro you are booting (amd64 vs x86), place that as /sbin/init, ensure execute bit is set, create a new image, boot, and see if you get output.

I am simply saying that personal property is out of the picture. And there is no such thing as “owning labor.” There is only laborers, which under wage labor are owned for a certain amount of time. But my central point is that Marxism has no conflict whatsoever with personal property.

But, as I said, it can be complicated, especially if that is your goal, as can be done with anything if you so please.

But, a self-sufficient farmer with no employees is not even part of a societal economy in any modern sense. They are a mere peasant. If they are a farmer with a farm that requires no hired labor or modern technology then same thing. If they require a military to protect them and they send surplus to a feudal arrangement, they probably live in a feudalist society. If they own their land and use industrial technology and hire their own wage laborers to produce a surplus to trade it on a market to pay for all of that, they are now part of a modern economy and Marxism would have more to say about that. The latter have dependencies beyond the mere protection of their farmland, meaning the farmer now lives in a capitalist society.
There is a lot of claims of Hickle's behavior that does sound quite shitty, but the two clearly despise each other and the claims of bad behavior go both ways. I cannot validate either's ad-homininunms; this sort of thing is why I don't have a twitter acount.

On to the substantive claims, neither dispute that things have gotten a bit better in recent years. Reading the previous piece makes that clear. Hickle's main claim is a) the data for the old period up to 1981 is misleading, and 2) the recent progress isn't "worth" the bad stuff that came before / we're still net bad.

In the latter part of the thread Roser claims the GDP-is-misleading claim is wrong, which would be quite interesting, but there isn't much detail there and then it's back to ad-hominums.
Modern SQL can express arbitrary queries (including transitive closure ofc.) since it allows for recursive table expressions.

A better way to describe that is that buying a house with a mortgage is a leveraged investment.

The mortgage is the opposite of an asset.
The size of Wikidata knowledge base / relevant graph (as well as Linked Open Data Cloud KBs and other large KBs) certainly presents some challenges. However, I think that the largest challenge and, in fact, the main obstacle, for practical programmatic solutions is the use of essentially meaningless alphanumeric identifiers assigned to entities and properties. All corresponding identifiers need to be discovered first manually in order to construct relevant SPARQL queries. Needless to say that these queries are not particularly human-readable (or, rather, human-interpretable) as well.
Those are two awfully big things to handwave away. There are likely to be flares in many countries for years, and the Australian vaccination rollout is best described as leisurely.

That's a great point I hadn't really thought about. There's not much of a difference between this and calling Covid-19 the "China Virus", besides the intent of the speaker.
> The signal might be good but is it the signal you should be focusing on? There is an amazing amount of interesting stuff being discovered all the time. But is it helping you achieve concrete goals?

My point is that putting everything through the filter of "does this directly help me achieve my goals?" isn't the best way to pursue your goals, assuming we're talking about big goals where the path to achieving them isn't clear.

I recommend checking out this podcast episode called "Why Greatness Cannot be Planned". It really changed my perspective on achieving my long term goals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhYGXYeMq_E

Also on Twitter, yeah some people don't only tweet things in their domain. But I've found that some people do reliably stick to a single domain. Though I don't really follow science people on Twitter.

Yep. Can vouch for RapidAPI.
Whether native or immigrant, rags to riches stories are almost always: a) incomplete (they leave out substantial advantages or good fortune); b) reek of survivorship bias (i.e. ignore the fact that for every success story there are dozens if not hundreds of them with poorer outcomes).
Thanks for the idea. This is a bit shorter:

SELECT '"foo"'::jsonb #>>'{}';

But yeah:

SELECT jsonb_col['prop1']#>>'{}' FROM ...;

looks a bit meh. And custom right unary operators are on the way out, so one can't even create one for this use case.

Anyway, for fun:

create function deref_jsonb(jsonb) returns text as $$ begin return $1#>>'{}'; end $$ language plpgsql;

CREATE OPERATOR # ( leftarg = jsonb, function = deref_jsonb );

select '"sdfasdf"'::jsonb #;

select jsonb_col['a']# FROM somewhere;

It would be a bit more enterprise friendly if you let customers self host? Then again, I'm not sure if enterprises are even the target audience. I wonder how much infosec would like the idea of building the artifacts externally.
This looks pretty bad on Salesforce's engineering culture.

1. They're still using manual processes where automation should be used.

2. They're using insufficiently robust scripts (Forgivable to a degree. Bugs happen)

3. They blame the individual rather than the process which allowed the individual to make this mistake.

4. They have their status page on the same infrastructure that the status page is reporting on.

If you have real security, then you don't need security by obscurity. If you have security by obscurity, you still need real security.

If "real security" was a real thing and anybody knew how to actually do that, things like the Colonial Pipeline ransom-ware attack, etc. wouldn't happen all the time. As people have been saying since David Lightman in 1983 "Hey, I don't believe that any system is totally secure."

That's not to say security by obscurity layered on top can't be useful

I think that most people who would implement this (or similar schemes) realize exactly that, and are practicing "defense in depth". Could it be a "dangerous distraction?" Sure, in principle. But I don't see any particular reason that this would be more so than other elements of a "defense in depth" strategy.

I wonder if the amount of RAM used by a new process can be reduced. Code and other RO segments are shared anyway, so it's only basically the new heap and various buffers.

Reducing this amount would also run Postgres in more constrained environments.
"Cushion" is a particularly bizarre example, because even if speakers were to stress the second syllable when using it as a verb, it still wouldn't demonstrate initial-stress derivation. The noun "cushion" is not derived from the verb "cushion." It's the other way round. (Source: the Oxford English Dictionary, unfortunately behind a paywall.)

Thanks for your thoughtful reply.

I agree that it's a complex issue with a lot of nuance that often gets discarded, and that there's a judgement call to be made on who needs to alter their expectations between the person taking the action and the person feeling uncomfortable.

I think for myself that line is usually determined by who is more active and more specific in the situation, combined with the severity of the material. Some probably-poorly-thought-out off-the-top-of-my-head examples:

- If someone's sending objectionable material to a coworker, they're clearly out of line (active > passive)

- If someone's stalking a coworker online trying to find something to be offended about, they're clearly out of line (active > passive)

- If someone's saying mildly mean things online about a large group in general, and a coworker of that group stalks them and finds the mean things, I'd usually side with the former (active+nonspecific < active+specific)

- If someone's saying horrendous things online about a large group in general, and a coworker of that group stalks them and finds the mean things, I'd usually side with the latter (active+nonspecific+awful > active+specific)

- If someone's writing explicit rape fantasies about a coworker and publishing them online, and the coworker stumbles on them, I'd definitely side with the latter (active+specific+awful >> passive+nonspecific)
> At the time of development of the gateway, our language choices were Go and Java. Our previous generation was in Node.js. While that was a very suitable language for building an IO-heavy gateway layer, we decided to align with the languages supported by the language platform teams at Uber. Go provided significant performance improvements. The lack of generics resulted in a significant amount of generated code during build time to a point where we were hitting the limits of the Go linker. We had to turn off the symbol table and debug information during the binary compilation. Language naming conventions like ID, HTTP, and reserved keywords in Go (but not in Thrift) created failures that exposed the internal implementation details to the end users.
At least they were candid about it.

I honestly don't get the cryptocurrency hype. None of the coins I've seen actually seem to work. They are slow, expensive to transfer, carry huge risks if you use them incorrectly.
