I enjoy tons of music from the past 20 years. One of my favorites, Nikolai Kapustin, died last year. I don't know in what sense you think music has stopped happening but you're very much incorrect about that.
I feel like with new ARM laptops like the Samsung Galaxy Book Go ($349) the advantages of running Linux on a Chromebook (mainly insanely good battery life) are quickly disappearing.

I don't actually have the Galaxy Book Go but I'm considering it, pending reports of people actually installing Ubuntu on it.
This is probably the clearest example of rasengan's thought processes so far. It's remarkable how nothing he was told -- about why #python was moving, about what actually constitutes a "community" -- even registered, so bent was he on the idea that his "customers" were being taken away.
I think it's not dumb to target Greenfield users: just installing python gpu wheels is often difficult enough that several companies exist (indirectly) because it's so difficult to do right (e.g. selling a gpu PC with that stuff preinstalled)
And here is where all of you are missing the point. The point is not that the framework is one of competencies. The framework LITERALLY describes attacks happening all day, every day, allowing one to conceptualize second order controls and build competency around engineering defenses. You're telling me it's not useful for a security engineer to learn how a first stage payload drops and pulls it's second stage post-exploitation kit, or what post-exploitation vs. pre-exploitation even means?
The flag on this article is unwarranted. Derek’s analysis is excellent.

I predict Netanyahu will return.

He was on the special forces team that rescued hostages from Sabena 571 injured during the rescue.

He went to school at MIT and knows America well.

He is very, very intelligent and many people think he is the bests person to deal with Iran, which is the existential threat to Israel.

Those that care about Israel's survival will want Netanyahu as PM.
Because it results in dramatically less hitting which is bad for the sport.
Zoom is the new power point. Has anyone noticed we've replaced the concept of "the thing that is annoying about meetings is power point" to just blaming zoom.

I don't even think we have a point to make, it's just like a thing we say... like oh god another power point meeting, oh god another zoom call.

I think the real thing is "oh god another thing I have to do I don't want to" - but we're afraid to say it.
Even easier would be to check the ball after a pitch.

Because in most companies, you're having lunch with VPs and CEOs regularly? I've only worked at one company where I regularly saw anybody at the VP level and up on a regular basis. Unless you're working at a small company, this example just doesn't have any basis in reality.
>>So then the advantage is that you always have a small mental working set.

You don't need microservices architectures for that. Even a clean architecture on a monolith ensures that you can compartmentalize the problem domain.

At most, just refactor out that responsibility into a library/component/module.
Better pitchers make the game substantially more boring. Strikeouts are at an all time high. People don't want to watch that.
Seconding (or third-fourthing?) kolourpaint. Not just the scaling, but I love that it supports true png transparency as just like if it were another color.
Olric did come up in my search but I never payed attention to it due to lack of production usage examples. I usually try to piggy back on existing well tested tools. The exception for rqlite because I understand both SQLite and Raft really well. So even if something goes wrong I will know what needs to be done.
> Explanations of design intent might be the most underrated kind of documentation. There's so little of that nowadays in general, in any technology. Personally, I blame shortened attention spans, the death of programming books, and the rise of Stack Overflow. I'm not familiar with the Apple ecosystem, is it really worse in this regard than others?

I also blame dogmatic misunderstandings that have crystalized around "Agile." Maybe back in the day a some cookbook process specified a lot of useless documentation be created, but many people seem to have thrown the baby out with the bathwater and declared all documentation useless or not worth the effort.

Also some programming books are to blame. IIRC, the book "Clean Code" completely rejects comments because they can get out of sync with the code and therefore be misleading, and "clean code" should be self-documenting. However, all code can ever tell you is what is, it can never tell you why or what was really intended. Also, when you really think about it, method and variable names are comments too, which can get just as out of sync with what's really going on than a comment block.

The areal density of tape is far lower, but the volume density is higher, simply because HDDs plays only on 2D planes while tapes are wrapped.
If the density gap grew, magnetics tapes will try to put more tape in a single enclosure, like HDDs try to put more disk in a single enclosure.

Hi! I wrote that article.

Basically… the anti-patterns stuff is really not that different from "React anti-patterns". JavaScript supports mutability, a lot of frameworks embrace immutable patterns (like Observable, and React). Using the mutability will lead to bad situations, like mutating in Observable or mutating some state in React.

The same with selecting elements, too. Like - if you're in React (or Vue, or… most component libraries) doing a document.querySelector is no good. You break modularity and the ability to add multiple copies of a component to a screen. Same with Observable. Selecting elements from a necessarily-global DOM is bad.

The gist is: Observable isn't JavaScript but is really close to JavaScript. We could either make it mostly-JavaScript and have some gotchas around mutability and such (but make it a lot friendlier to JS devs, use existing libraries, etc) or make it something stricter and do a 'clean break.' If Observable was way different than JavaScript, this thread about Observable "having lock-in / being too hard" would be 10x bigger :) Such is the balance between practicality and purity.

You can see plenty of other things trying to do this balance. Like React (not quite JavaScript, because of JSX), Svelte (very much not vanilla JavaScript), Elm (pure, idealistic, also its own island because of its purity). Unfortunately you can only really do a pure system with those drawbacks, a practical system with those drabacks, or some combination of the two.
After the mlb announced they were going to start checking for and taking action again foreign substances a couple of weeks ago, spin rates were down across several of the leagues big pitchers.

It’s not the ball.
I didn't say documentation shouldn't be written; writing is just one of many media types.

Many people do not stay focused with longer formats in writing. So adopting a variety of media is a good idea, especially for the fuzzier "conceptual" documents, as opposed to reference documentation.

And I say this as someone who prefers books. I've made the mistake of only using writing, and noticed about half of the team just never seemed to grasp the concepts. Example projects with really short videos helped them a lot.
They're banning people just for naming other networks, even without open criticism. I would expect that behavior from unexperienced children who didn't have time to develop social values, not from grown ups.
I don’t blame anybody at all. You may well be right, there are likely many ways to make working from home more comfortable for me. Although I’ll add that I only have one room so my “office” is literally my bedroom.

However, why must I make it work if/when I get other options? I liked working in an office with other people.

I definitely don’t mean to generalise - I know loads of people who don’t feel the same way as I do. I was just sharing my personal experience.
This is a really interesting list. BTW, don't forget to click through to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_commercial_video_games...

IMO, some of the most important/interesting games on this list are (in no particular order):

* Colossal Cave Adventure

* Zork

* Habitat

* SimCity

* Doom and its various incarnations.

* Quake

* Balance of Power

* Civilization IV -- Wow, this one was a surprise to me! I'm gonna poke around with it some.

* Civilization V -- Also a surprise.

* Elite

* Unreal, and its various incarnations

* Eliza

* Oregon Trail

* Akalabeth: World of Doom

* Empire (paging @WalterBright). I remember spending a lot of hours on this one. :-)

* Pac Man

* Pole Position

* Wizardry III

Maybe I've missed a few, but these are the ones that stood out to me.
In reality, nobody actually cares about the tech, Not even the VCs care, they're just buying into a project for an exit.

The general public are even more oblivious to the tech, all they want. to know is 'How do I 100x my money? When is coin X going to the moon?'.

They all want the 'moon' more than the tech.

iTunes was never big enough to count as a monopoly on music sales, not even close.
Is the lack of construction the fault of the people arriving, or of the people that have lived there a long time and have set the political agenda?

Folks who bemoan the loss of what they have known but also at the same time refuse to allow more space for population growth are causing the very problems that they complain about.

I'm on a different coast, but have lost so many friends that don't have high powered careers, and it stings really hard. But it's not the fault of people moving into my town. It's 100% the fault of the people who are unwelcoming and falsely believe that if they preserve physical structures it will somehow help the people with less economic power.

gitk --all

is even better. Most people don't work in front of VT100s today.

Actually I work most of the day remotely in `screen` on my office machine. But in case of complicated/confusing/buggy history/branching I fetch for the repo so I can run gitk locally.
> How can you talk about security if there is spyware on every Chromebook? I mean Google Chrome.

I have the option, in Chrome, to decide what is synced up to "the Google cloud." Are you asserting that this doesn't work - that if I turn off history/bookmark/etc sync, that this is still pushed up? I've not SSL intercepted a Chromebook to determine it, but I believe if you tell it not to do something, it won't.

You've got a bit of a solid anti-Google screed here, but you've not bothered to actually provide any evidence in favor of it.

> * Regarding the operating system, how can you trust more a system from Google than a system you build yourself?*

Because they hire an awful lot more security conscious people than I am, who I believe know their stuff pretty darn well.

As for your list of "You can't XYZ in a browser," you can put Linux in a chroot on a Chromebook in developer mode, so most of what you claim is either false through extensions, or false through Linux dev environments.

> Also, if internet doesn't work you are basically screwed, what do you do?

Well, I keep a local Ubuntu repo at home, so...

To be totally clear, you could do this, but it's going to start an arms race of trickery.
> Yeah - cuz no one hacked banks, cut fraudulent POs, or any of the other scams before crypto.

OP was probably referring to attacks such as ransomware, because if you don't have an anonymous way to receive payment, then there is less incentive to do the crime in the first place.
Sticky substances affects spin rate, correct. I'm saying that there are other factors beyond that contributing to the record low levels of offensive production and proliferation of no hitters.

Precognition
Well, you can see one approach in the uBlock source code.

Matching against static, glob and regex patterns. And there is some grouping and filtering so, it's not like every URL gets all 64k patterns matched. And it's possible to pre-compile and group the Regex to get a little faster (lots of framework routers do this)

From my opinion the "web" is so contaminated it's a shorter accept-list than a constantly changing reject-list
I have never lived in NYC, but did spend time in SF in 2015. I'm fascinated by these descriptions of pre-2000 NYC because they are so close to my experience in SF. I experienced several close calls and situations I would have never gotten close to in DC. One day I decided to take a stroll from Powell to 16th St. Mission and it was more like stumbling through a refugee camp. I heard ubiquitous stories of muggings, assaults and even one murder from friends and coworkers in the span of just a few months. One story that sticks in my mind is a coworker watching an elderly man being badly beaten in Oakland near where I was living at the time. Everything I have read and heard tells me SF has gotten worse in the past 5 years.
why is any of this relevant?

So, I got curious and looked it up: Andrew Lee "inherited" his claim from Prince(?) Yi Seok, who is the tenth son of Yi Kang (King Uichin), who was the fifth son of Emperor Gojong. ("Yi" and "Lee" are just two different ways to Latinize the same family name.)

It already casts doubt on what legitimate claim Yi Seok could have on the Imperial Throne - the matter was not resolved only because monarchy is dead in Korea and nobody gives a damn any more, and people kinda feel sad that these imperial descendants went through so much tragedy and struggles in the last century, so we just politely nod, in the same way we would talk to our grandma suffering from dementia.

But some guy who grew up in America crashing a family reunion and claiming he's the inheritor of the family house because he met grandma once and got her to sign some document? Lol, nice try.
Oh if you have other options and you prefer them, go for it :)

> In most cases, the business cannot afford to stop all feature work in this way, and so the problem will persist forever, becoming a permanent drop in productivity. It will also make your developers miserable.

This scenario is only possible if the project has no automated testing or invests any effort in QA or no one pays any attention whatsoever to whatever is running in prod.

Meanwhile, one of the basic features of CICD is automated rollbacks.

If this sort of problem happens on a project, the problem was not caused by a developer having a bad day. The problem is caused by an entire team enduring a culture that allows problems to fester without anyone doing anything about it.
Net spending power == spending on real goods + spending on debt.

If the relative proportion paid to debt service decreases, the relative proportion paid to real goods and services increases.

Debt-dominated economies have regressive wealth allocations.

Debt instruments are not generally inflation-indexed. If there's a belief that there will be inflation, the interest rate may be increased, however that's not always the case. Regardless, creditors even if they have already priced in inflation will lobby for low-inflation policies as this increases the return on their assets (that is, debt).

How monetary policy allocates funds is in fact a policy question, and is determined by policy. There is no Divine Law of Economics which dictates one allocation over another.

You've been asserting without citation as well, just for the record. The my claim is trivially verified:

seignorage. 1. Something claimed or taken by virtue of sovereign prerogative; specifically, a charge or toll deducted from bullion brought to a mint to be coined; the difference between the cost of a mass of bullion and the value as money of the pieces coined from it. (1913 Webster)

http://dict.org/bin/Dict?Form=Dict2&Database=gcide&Query=Sei...

Seigniorage is the difference between the face value of money, such as a $10 bill or a quarter coin, and the cost to produce it. In other words, the economic cost of producing a currency within a given economy or country is lower than the actual exchange value, which generally accrues to governments who mint the money.

Again: the words you're using don't mean what you're asserting they mean.
For the RAM use, I also think a 8Gb M1 MBA would be fine for most people, including the OP if they stay within the confine of the OS.

Now, in CS we're one of the edge cases where booting VMs and parallel systems is part of the deal. In the Chromebook configuration it's actually 3 systems running at the same time so more RAM has a direct impact on performance.

(point taken on the Thinkpad price, I also think if we settle on a refurbished Chromebook, we could so the same for the Thinkpad and perhaps get it a bit lower)
Does anyone know how wood was able to be carved with sufficient precision to enable it to be used as a medium for type? At such small scales, surely it splintered and fractured all the time?

The problem with phrenology as a policy-making tool isn't that it's largely bullshit (though it was), but that it was, on its principles, unfair. The same is here with this tech. Accuracy isn't the issue, even if this one's also largely pseudo science.
From the article,

> "80 to 90%” of pitchers are using it in some capacity"

From wikipedia,

> "Several players have suggested that drug use is rampant in baseball. David Wells stated that "25 to 40 percent of all Major Leaguers are juiced"."

Juicing seems like a more severe issue to me, but I guess the article is saying that pitching substances are a "bigger" scandal because it's so prevalent.
I was poking fun at them saying no one will be in the office by pointing out that if you're literally the only non-manager in the office then you've got some advantages.
Well a plus is that if it's done in solidity, people can just fork existing stuff on ethereum and push it on to Solana, with the exception of Uniswap and a few others that have explicitly disallowed it in their licenses

I think the HP drives found in ML-350 servers and similar will likely be useable for a long time, but you seem to need the whole server, controller card combo. I have one of these servers but the tape drive is unused since some trial software i had expired. Not sure why it still costs thousands of dollars for tape backup software on a 10+ year old server.
I have a different experience. Mostly I find articles specifically written for 'Raspberry Pi' of lower quality than articles that talk about Debian. A lot of Raspberry Pi tutorials tell you to just run these commands without explaining why or what is the consequence. That leads to all kinds of bad practises like 'curl | sudo bash' or configurating services without auth.
Where does it end? Can a pitcher take a jar of peanut butter out to the mound with him to smear on the ball?
Microservices was a terrible buzzword and definitely made me re-evaluate the kool-aids I had previously drank from Martin Fowler.

We already had services and service oriented architecture. Finding the correct size and establishing boundaries between services is a huge part of a correct architecture.

Building a monolith was a first step, then companies were branching out different parts in other services, when and if needed (eg. when doing acquisitions, as you mentioned).

Microservices just pushed companies to write services that were too small (I still remembers thought leaders praising 20 lines microservices) and declare dinosaurs everyone doing monoliths.

Your ‘successfully moved the app from .net 2 to .net 4’ becomes `updated all versions of the logger in all microservices`.
Yeah - I know...I'm just pointing out that's not the only type of cybercrime. High value/High dollar hacks happened before crypto, and they'll happen after crypto...

Probably the biggest factor in the recent ransomware attacks has been the 'hacking as a service' sites that have been popping up for everything from botnets to ransomware. You can literally sign up with services that provide all the code and infrastructure required!

edit: There wasn't really less incentive, there was just different types of hacking. like hacking a companies accounting system and creating a vendor account for yourself..so you got paid, automatically every month.
