> How about simply using "BEST Practices"?

REST is already an architecture style, nothing more than an a set of guidelines to design interfaces in order to ensure you get specific qualities and operational advantages.

These articles with bold statements regarding the need to change buzzwords already miss the whole point to begin with, and provide absolutely nothing of value.
It's my first website/blog, so I may have misconfigured something, or maybe it's an issue with the self-hosted video player. I'll look into it now!

I guess I do now!
> I've had developers use the 'partial' feature in C# to meet Martin's length restrictions

That is not the fault of this book or any book. The problem is people treating the guidelines as rituals instead of understanding their purpose.
Similar - I was looking for the "Run simulation" button or similar. This seems like something that could be really fun to gamify.
The whole concept of wealth feels like a pyramid scheme.

Your second paragraph could be applied to any non-crypto asset class. The only difference I can see is that crypto just made this scheme more obvious, unobfuscated then let's say the stock market with its different investor classes.
Today's episode of the "Fresh Prince of Dead Air"...popcorn time again.
Can we just stop jerking off about what is and isn't REST and instead just focus on the pros and cons of any given API?

RESTfulness is a useful pattern with some clear advantages. Its not a commandment.
You'd be really pissed if you saw what happening?
You killed a good thing for no reason. Enjoy your empty shell, I hope it gives you all the comfort you deserve.
Erm, that’s a lie. US is pretty good at protecting its war criminals, and it was quite visible in this case, where only a single one of the perpetrators has been punished, and the punishment was hilariously low (iirc just a few years of prison).
My experience interviewing recently a number of consultants with only a few years experience was the more they mumbled clean code the less they knew what they were doing.
> I use scheduled SMS all the time.

TiL. I barely use SMS anymore. When I opened my client just now, sure enough, there was a little tooltip by the 'send' button telling me I can hold to schedule. I've never considered a need for scheduling SMS before.

Am I right in concluding this is a new thing? If so, I think it's a bit unfair to castigate slack for lacking a feature that's taken SMS 20+ years to adopt.

Mega Landlords Are Snapping Up Zillow Homes Before the Public Can See Them
Does anyone know what the market cap is? I don't see it.
The idea is also captured in lots of western post-apocalyptic science fiction. The absence of a functioning government gives rise to local warlords. The "vacuum" is made up of weak semi-states that are usually horrific. Chinese history is full of periods of warlordism, too.

One of the things I found so bizarre as a liberal... I was against the Iraq war on the basis that it would create a power vacuum, which it did. When six years later, liberals lined up to applaud the Arab Spring, I was against American support for it for the same reason. Both of those things were sold to the American public as a form of liberation from dictatorship. In the former, we would supply democracy after overthrowing Hussein. In the latter, we would expect countries with no history of democracy and almost no independent civic institutions to do it for themselves.
The goal is great, but it never seems to be reached. People here haven't mentioned the Iranian revolution which was the most vivid example in modern history of a sudden vacuum in a dictator's absence, with the presence of a drifting democracy movement, being filled by a bloodthirsty lunatic.
No paid external marketing, they presumably pay staff to do everything listed.
> This is entirely my fault, and I take all the blame for that.

You shouldn't be blaming yourself, it was the best thing to do. Some people may have been confused over who the "good guys" were in this mess. By taking over all these channels you made everything perfectly clear. No amount of arguing could have made things clearer than your actions.
There is no disconnect or misunderstanding that I see. There is absolutely no way this could have been communicated that would have resulted in it being taken any better.

Freenode spent over 2 decades as a mostly open platform for tech and other communities where you could be kick banned for being a nazi or a spammer but where your community wouldn't be subject to interference solely to serve anyone's commercial interests. There was never any concept that it was disallowed to discuss the competition and if it had been expressed it would have been wildly unacceptable.

After you sprung it on people it remains wildly unacceptable and its the moment when you absolutely jumped the shark. If by next year you are left with ashes and dreams and you want to pick a moment where this became inevitable its this moment when you decided you could stop people from switching to Libera by censoring freenode. If you had a time machine there is no notes you could offer to your prior self save STOP!
Do you have an opinion on any particular technological successor to IRC?
No normal user will enter their e-mail address in punycode. This is something your own software should be doing.
If the Hindenburg hadn’t been painted with a dope that was essentially rocket fuel, chances are pretty good we’d have hydrogen airships. All that bright flame and accelerated burning was from the skin.
Except software-silicon patches usually have a limited number of filters, patch slots, etc. Might not be worth using one for this.

When I lived in India I saw the following...the image will always stay with me and has really changed me. In Bangalore (Koramangala) where I was living was an area filled with very rich people (like western standards rich) who had massive houses, security guards, huge walls and literally right across the street was a garbage dump with people living in it. Was heartbreaking.
Defoliation. A precursor for a lot of that junk was made by Philips-Duphar, and dumped in a polder 25 km North of Amsterdam. The cleanup operation continues today... Dioxin, 2-4-5-T, very nasty stuff.

The point is that for almost every metric, consumers changing their habits will have a negligible impact on global aspects of this disaster. Even if everyone changes, companies are so extremely polluting that it will not change the fact that everything will turn to shit. What needs to change is companies.
The media is aiming for the most clicks.
Or don't because Vimeo has little growth potential and a product that has gone stale. Also, imagine just how trivial it would be for YT to copy paste Vimeo's offering (long videos, no ads, etc) rn. My guess is that Vimeo is such a non-entity to YT that they haven't even bothered gobbling up the tiny niche.
> The package management is a system level concern and you should not mess with it.

This makes anything approaching a hermetic/deterministic/reproducible build basically impossible. That's not good. How do I get consistent builds across systems if I have to hope that some (set of, if I'm building on multiple OSes) external dependencies give me the correct version of the package I'm looking for, especially since many of the tools you listed don't, for example, support multiple simultaneous versions of a particular package.

I'm also confused by precisely what you mean by package management. Tools like pip cargo and bazel etc. Don't manage compiled binaries, but uncompiled sources. They deal with code dependencies, not dynamic library dependencies.

Installing a source file via apt doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
> so we better double-check any new one before being ok with it.

This. No government or institution should downplay seriousness of pandemic even if virus is not as deadly as Ebola.
My favorite music artist Infected Mushroom just released an EP called Shroomeez with 4 songs. They also released all songs as NFT collectibles ($333 each and sold 15 x 4). Then the album had one secret unreleased track called Babka that sold for about $10,000. Everyone is really mad about it that they'll never get to hear the song
that's what worries me the most with the medical passport that soon will be required everywhere just to go see a concert : now that it's there, it's never going to stop, it can only expand.

not only because the virus is very likely to follow the same path as the flu, and so people will need yearly vaccination with mediocre results, but also because politics will use this as a hammer and see nails everywhere.

On a sidenote, a 100€ / year vaccine every year, for 6 billions people, enforced by laws... sounds like a dream business model...
Polyglots Are All You Need
It can be difficult to plan your next development step, or know who to hire. How do you build and recognize the good from the mediocre experience? Consider polyglots: People that can program in multiple languages.
A majority of the vaccine doses used in Seychelles is the Sinopharm. It uses a human adenovirus as its viral vector. One aspect that was mentioned early last year in Derek Lowe's roundup is that most Asians have existing antibodies against this adenovirus type (for Indians, I believe the figure is around 80%). That may be why this vaccine may not be adequately effective in certain populations.
Voice Assistant for VSCode
I just back buttoned my way back to this thread after looking for that exact same thing. The price still seems a bit high, can’t take a more educated guess without the cap though.. I couldn’t find it. Honestly though I’m surprised they’re even still alive, much less making it to IPO.

Edit sources say around 8b, up from 6 in January. It’s too rich imo for the business model they’re trying and their brand name
I’m talking about the opposite where you are the boss. I don’t send emails at night so my staff don’t feel the expectation to be constantly checking and replying to me. Just because I work weird hours doesn’t mean I expect my staff to.

If one of my team sends too many emails at weird hours I’d make a point of talking to them about their workload and life balance at an upcoming 1:1 to make sure things aren’t getting too off track.

I think a decentral approach to gaming, the classical one, is just better scalable. While our communication infrastructure will come to a point of feasibility, it doesn't make much sense to me. The logistical challenge of deploying games has become almost trivial and the barrier is shrinking further.

People compare it to Netflix. It is convenient, true, but I canceled that just recently anyway. It is probably me, but it did incentivise me to watch crap.
I don't know what it really means for a proof to be invoked, and I also don't really like the idea of separating proofs into concrete and abstract proofs. Either it proves something or it doesn't.
> Wait, didn't you say on Twitter that this could be mitigated really easily?

> Yeah, but originally I thought the register was per-core. If it were, then you could just wipe it on context switches. But since it's per-cluster, sadly, we're kind of screwed, since you can do cross-core communication without going into the kernel. Other than running in EL1/0 with TGE=0 (i.e. inside a VM guest), there's no known way to block it.

In other words: this register is shared between cores, so if the two processes are running simultaneously on different cores, they can communicate by reading & writing directly to & from this register, without any operating system interaction.
Interesting take on ideas well presented in a blog post, dubbed as "CLUI": https://blog.replit.com/clui
The problem is that there is a huge amount of “senior” devs who only got that title for having been around and useless for a long time. It is the best for all to not have them mentoring anyone.

But otherwise I agree, it’s just hard to recognize good programmers.
> in my opinion this not only introduces more confusion

I don't think that's possible. I've officially banned the word "REST" from being used in technical discussions. Using that word is not just useless, it's harmful.

Note that this is not an issue with the original paper, but everything that happened after it.
Quite a bit of sentiment around against long names, I personally am fine with them up to about 30-35 chars or so, then they start to really intrude. Glad you’re not put off by choosing function over form!
Wait, did he just, as exploit proof of concept, infiltrated some catch music&&video clip ? With life rendering on same CPU ? :>

That was a great read. I, as well, grew up being scared of sharks, due to watching Jaws, as a kid.

But when diving here in the Andaman sea and gulf of Thailand it's such a fantastic experience to see shark. The black-tipped reef sharks I saw in the gulf of Thailand behave more like cats than the predators you see in movies like Jaws.
If you are breathing to loudly they will scurry away.

Interestingly enough, the shark nursery, where I went diving was less than a kilometer away from Maya bay, also known as "The Beach". Maya Bay is closed now, but used to attract millions of tourists each year, that were snorkeling there.

Now the reef sharks have apparently returned to Maya bay.

I think sharks are distinctly at the intersection of humans and nature on the one hand they are these fearful predators and on the other one they are beautifully efficient.

>How likely is it, however, that even if Roy wrote an article in a major publication and gave talks at conferences about what’s not really REST, the community would change its use of “RESTful”?

Ha if agile is anything to go by, people on LinkedIn will be describing their recruiting process or marketing strategy or breakfast as RESTful
Parts of it is already in Rust and formal verification could be done for this project as well. At that stage would you be ok with it?
Nitpickers do care. When they start adding HATEOAS and shoehorning semantics into HTTP verbs to make the API more RESTful, they make everything worse to use.

The problem is that REST is a buzzword, so you want to keep the word somehow, but throw out the nonsense.
I don't really understand what Siemens wants with SaaS or indie hardware creation et cetera. I know they do both heavy industry and some consumer electronics. I don't really see the synergy here. Maybe they are just looking for ideas? But I'm sure Siemens could read these websites without an expensive acquisition. Anyone understand it a little better?
> "to be honored in perpetuity after his death"

They aren't. They never have been, and they never will be, since it's impossible to enforce something forever.

Old is certainly relative. A 200 year old house fits more into point 1 than 2 above. A 230 year old office block tends to not be such a well suited building.

Oh they know what it means. They just don't agree about it.

It's kinda like politics and sports. Everyone is an expert.
I do experience differences on my HifiBerry + MFB (motional feedback) speakers between 320bps mp3 and flac. Mainly the crispness of e.g. percussion and voices is subjectively much, much better.

This might of course be the IKEA effect, but I'm quite happy nevertheless with my flac collection.
In COVID-19's case, there's a reasonable chance that it's a synthetic product of gain of function research.
RIP IRC.
The destructive splintering has already sent too many of what little was left to Discord, Slack, and Matrix.
Yes; the difference between token and denoted concept. They are not the same thing (as René Magritte probably wanted to say with his "This is not a pipe" painting). In computer contexts: each representation of 5, in whatever base or language would point to the same element in a lookup-table.

But for us humans, the tokens and concepts blend to some degree: maybe not so much with regards to numerals (although there seem to be exceptions ...). So even if 'Amour', 'Love' and 'Liebe' essentially point to the same concept, we might conceive of them differently, ever so slightly, depending on the language we chose to use.

Which gives an inkling of the vast difference between computers and humans, at the current stage.
*sigh*

Here we go again.

The GDPR has no problem AT ALL with cookies. Use as many as you like with no need for popups. However, if you are using cookies to track or personally identify me (advertisers take a bow), then you need to ask my permission to do so. And so you should.

I am unaware of how a browser may possibly be used to block only personally identifying cookies, and besides, putting the onus to do so onto the data owner is against the principle of the GDPR; that personal data is MINE and you must ask my permission to use it.
Just like Andrew Lee (rasengan)!

You assume incorrectly, unfortunately. Advertising libera.chat is enough to get taken over.
In my opinion, an author failing to destroy material is tacit permission to have it published after their death—especially if the main reason why they didn't publish it is embarrassment. A dead person cannot suffer embarrassment.

Of course a person can suffer embarrassment before they've died. This is exactly why we should publish whatever we like after death. If it became the norm for famous authors to have their manuscripts raided for interesting works, then such authors will do a better job of not having manuscripts survive their death, solving these silly disputes once and for all.

You should investigate CIA/NATO funded clandestine operations such us GLADIO involving terror attacks in Europe against civilians. AKA "strategy of tension".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gladio

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_Due

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=OJ:J...

>The August 2, 1980 bombing of the Bologna train station which killed 85 people, is widely recognized as a Gladio operation. While it was initially blamed on the communist “Red Brigades,” eventually, right-wing and fascists elements were discoverd to be the culprits. Two Italian secret service agents and Licio Gelli, the head of the infamous P2 Masonic lodge, were convicted in connection to the bombing.

>1969: “In Italy, the Piazza Fontana massacre in Milan kills 16 and injures and maims 80 [….] during a trial of rightwing extremists General Giandelio Maletti, former head of Italian counterintelligence, alleges that the massacre had been carried out by the Italian stay-behind army and rightwing terrorists on the orders of the US secret service CIA in order to discredit Italian Communists.”
While Marcan has written in a very entertaining fashion, there is perhaps one application of this vulnerability that wasn't considered.

If this can be reproduced on the iPhone, it can lead to 3rd party keyboards exfiltrating data. By default, keyboard app extensions are sandboxed away from their owning applications [0], but they may communicate with the app over this channel and leak data. It's not as easy as I describe because the app would have to be alive and scheduled on the same cluster, but it's within the realm of possibility.

This whole drama. Sudden mass resignation of volunteer stuff, corporate interest assuming direct control. We'd likely leave Freenode immediately, and... most likely migrate to one of SaaS chats. A lot of people in the community didn't like IRC and wanted to use something more mainstream. I was one of those arguing for staying on IRC, and the argument was much easier when status quo was a Freenode channel.

I suspect quite a lot of IRC communities exist only because staying is easier than switching, and if you disrupt their channel, they'll end up fracturing and migrating to Discord or Telegram or some other corporate network.

The problem is not REST per se, the problem is people thinking a machine-to-machine API "should" conform to REST. I have not seen a coherent argument for why HATEOAS should be a useful property for API's beside "REST says so".

That said, we should not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Some REST principles like statelessness are good design for API's also.
