Not to do the 2021 version of Godwining the discussion but this is like getting vaccinated and concluding covid was overblown.

There is absolutely at least some money to be made locking down machines and corporate America would sell our kidney's for a quarter if they could get away with it.

There would likely have been lawsuits against Microsoft if they had taken further steps on that road but that doesn't mean they won't be interested in boiling us all slowly now or in the future.
I can’t quite tell if you’re either lampshading/mocking speculator thinking or if this is sincere. But the thinking behind the above comment largely seems to be the source of all the problems.
That's what I had thought alright. UK Eyes Only documents being printer, leaving a building and being left somewhere. Just sounds so odd.
I think your example of accidental complexity is actually essential complexity. The requirement to use mutable variables and mess with memory is part of the complexity of problem space, not an accident.
Sounds like too hot
> I also think it's downright odd that they're printed --- most high-level classified documents seem to exist on secure, airgapped, immobile computer systems.

I think it's pretty common to print classified documents, since as you say the electronic copies normally live on specific airgapped networks. If you'll need them somewhere without access to that network (e.g. most meetings) printing is the easiest option.
These terms long ago became generalized. There are already trademarked brands, what does this extra layer of protectionism add. I don't think we should allow anyone to call a hamburger, they can call them ground beef patties on a bun - which is what they are.

Same with sandwiches outside of sandwich. Probably the same with indian pale ales, etc.... The geographic term describes a style.
I used to work at Microsoft in the Windows team, and think that the product is a lot better than many people give it credit for.

That said, why exactly do I want even more kitchen sink functionality in my OS? In a world trending towards devices and services, we should see general purpose OS trending more towards slimmed-down, tailored-for-use implementations - maybe the same code base supports a game console and a streaming media device and a phone and a tablet, but each instance stripped until it's just what is needed. Why do I want bloat exactly?
Yes, I suppose you absolutely can refute my point if you choose to discard the first half of my statement which specifies the scope.

Words can have different meanings under different contexts, and I'm providing you that context, which is important for understanding what people are talking about here. Please stop being obtuse.
But also not surprising because despite the decades of restrictions which have limited Cuba’s ability to import medical supplies, they have one of the best medical systems in the world.
Use Roblox studio, it's basically a game engine to develop games for Roblox, uses Lua and has a marketplace full of things like 3D models, it's best to start with a simple platformer, Roblox has tutorials on their site.

Before that if it's too much, they could make things like shirts to wear in game and sell those to other players, easiest is to use a template and something akin to photoshop.

Roblox is closer to a game marketplace where the games are made by fans than a game unto itself, so the creativity isn't game inherent unless it's subgame was built to be like that (most aren't).
I actually placed it up top first, blowing out. But then I looked up some tests and recommendations and apparently front blowing inward is better. Can't remember the exact reasoning but I remember being convinced enough to move the whole thing. Temps are great now but I never did a comparison.

I assume my way results in better cooling for the CPU because the radiator gets fresh air instead of GPU-heated air. Maybe it's just about prioritizing CPU over GPU (or having more headroom for a few extra degrees on the GPU).
If you want more ISP competition where you live, I suggest getting active in your town government.

A while ago, I called up the town hall of the suburb where I grew up, and asked for a copy of their contract with Comcast. It technically doesn't grant them a monopoly -- that would be illegal -- but in effect it does. The contract says Comcast must serve any resident within two business days of the request. It also says the town can't give a better contract to another ISP (I forget the exact legal terms, this was years ago).

That means a startup ISP can't launch neighborhood by neighborhood. In order to provide service in the town, you need to build out connectivity everywhere, upfront. That is a multi million-dollar construction project which stands no chance of being paid back within a time period any investor would be comfortable with.

Even another large ISP wouldn't want to take this risk, which is why they still haven't done so in my home town. Best case is that you get around 5-10% of residents within a couple years. Even if your service is much better than the incumbent's, it can be hard to educate consumers. Most people won't know what they're missing, they'll be too lazy to switch, etc.

So, if you want to attempt to solve this problem in your town, there are a few things you can try to do:

- Make it so that startup ISPs can build out neighborhood by neighborhood. Yes, this means the hardest-to-reach/least profitable areas will be served last, but it's better than nothing.

- Get your town to fund construction. There are plenty of ISPs who would jump at the opportunity to serve your town if they didn't have to pay the capex. Have your town reach out to every startup ISP you can find and work on a deal.

- Build a municipal ISP. It's not that hard, more and more towns are doing it.
Quixotic devotion to the ideal of free speech is messing up the world since wealthy interests have many ways to sway public opinion as desired. Free speech only works with an educated population - and most countries do not have one.
I don’t think your career as a developer needs to end at 40, but I do think (as someone in their early 40s) that it might need to change for best results. Hiring processes and working environments are often built around younger developers, and don’t necessarily select for the strengths that will make a more experienced developer worth hiring at the rate they’ll expect you to pay.

The analogy I’ve sometimes drawn recently is about specific buzzwords compared to deeper understanding and transferrable skills. We used to see this sometimes where recruiters didn’t understand that probably someone who’d been working with MySQL professionally for a decade wasn’t going to struggle with a job spec that required 2+ years with Postgres. Today, there are many buzzwords around mostly peripheral subjects like development processes or cloud hosting platforms. In reality, those might be a relatively minor detail for many jobs and a 40+ year old veteran with broad experience would just pick up whatever you need in hours if not minutes, but that veteran can appear to be less qualified for the job than a 25-year-old who has spent the last two years on a team with exactly the right process and platform.

I haven’t been a full-time employee in many years, but seeing some of the horror stories about overweight recruitment processes, it looks like it could be a frustrating experience for devs of my generation who still wanted a hands-on programming role.
> This is pretty exciting news. Cuba has a long history of sending medical aid to other developing countries, and right now the vaccine timeline for a lot of poor African countries is really, really bad. If this pans out, it could save a lot of lives.

Does Cuba have the capacity to produce enough vaccines for those nations? That would be really surpising to me
Did anyone else sum up the various lines and notice the overall downward trend across all networks?

Freenode must have had a LOT of accounts which did NOT migrate to libre chat or anywhere IRC. They disappeared elsewhere. Likely discord, slack etc etc.
Fetishization is the correct word for it.

Most people, especially the ones who think typing everything is a great idea, don't understand the difference between types and constraints.

Constraints, for some reason, are incredibly easy for humans to understand. Simple constraints and types match well enough that pretty much all tutorial examples can be done in either without too much difficulty. That gives people the misplaced confidence that everything that can be done in constraints can be done in types. Which is simply not the case.

For the simplest example: what is the type of the identity function? You get into polymorphic types and type variables to get a satisfactory answer, which is by no means obviously true, and fall down the rabbit hole of having your type system be Turing complete too. Which kind of defeats the purpose of types since now you have to deal with all the goodness of undecidability not only horizontally in your code, but vertically in your types.

That is not to say that types are useless, they aren't, but when you start really dealing with higher order functions they are not worth the hassle as defined in any language today.
Starting a daemon on first connect is essential for fast boot times of a system with multiple dependent network services. This is mostly a desktop use case though. Not sure if it can be disabled for servers.
Well damn. I don't have a dog in this fight but boy oh boy do i want that keyboard now. The possibilities of every key being changed to match context sounds awesome. Especially since i love modal editors with visible prompts.

Vim/Kakoune users could have their help menu _be_ the keyboard. Every action changes all of your keys to whatever is possible. Sort of mind blowing.

Come to think of it, i bet someone has done this with Vim & LED Keycaps. Huh
That's not true.

The half-life of antibody levels has been estimated at 73 days. The antibody tests are quite sensitive, time has not been enough of a factor yet to produce false negatives. In a year or two it might be.

The only time concern is that you need to wait 2-3 weeks until after you recover from COVID to ensure you test positive.
I'd love to move to Apple, but muscle memory is a real PITA. I just can't seem to overcome that obstacle, no matter how small. I always seem to find my way back to 'good old' Android/Windows. It's almost like an abusive relationship.
> Gabriele is a "he". Grabrielle is a "she".

Gabriele is a "he" in Italian. Gabrielle [sic] is a "she" in French.

Kari is a "he" in Finnish, and a "she" in Norwegian.

Maybe Gabriele is a "she" in Austrian German.
I believe it is 95% effective at getting the disease with symptoms. I understand they never tested people who had no symptoms in their trials.
Portland was hotter than most places on earth yesterday. And today it’s set to break the record again. I’m down in the Willamette valley, not far south of Portland, and it’s about 100 degrees, noon, and see to get up to 108 this afternoon.

Like the Bay Area, a lot of homes were constructed in an era where air conditioning wasn’t really a consideration, so it’s a dangerous heat wave for many.

No, it doesn't, but optimal voting under STAR is less dependent on other voters than in both Plurality and RCV systems. Under STAR voting, it would be far, far more practical to vote your conscience irrespective of how others are voting. This would encourage the middle majority to actually vote.

When further combined with other reforms, such as multi-member districts, this could completely transform the political landscape.
Moderna is 94.1% effective.

Pfizer is 94% effective.

So it's almost as good.
El Che Guevara made free medical education rampant and commonplace. When there was a breakout of Ebola some years back, Cuba was there, FIRST, front and center. Rival that, anybody? No surprise here that their vax is superlative. ALSO, when nobody would allow disease-stricken cruise ships to dock for medical help,at the initiation of Covid-19,Cuba took them. That is how Cubans contracted Covid. Beautiful, good, excellent, time-capsule Cuba.
> The sharp drop occurred due to Freenode wiping out its database and starting over from scratch again on 15 Jun 2021.

The graphs aren't measuring the number of registered users and channels, it's the number of current users and channels. Freenode did reboot all of its servers into a new network at the same time, though, so it still resulted in the same effect.
Yea they are terrible. They told me based on my state ID that I scanned and uploaded that my name was "wrong" -- i.e. if I'm "John L Smith III" they basically said my name is really "Smith Iii L John" and refused to fix it, effectively nuking my account because it didn't match my real (wrong?) name. Oh and it took them over a month to respond.
More than half of their player base (like 60%) play on mobile, so I image it's just not a big priority to them.
They'll probably be more likely to share enough technical know how that production elsewhere is possible.
You are right - but choosing the correct solution imho needs to be done with human oversight - I think a semver based dependency resolution works great here, for example if bar requires foo 1.0 and baz needs 1.0.1 they will happily use the same version, but if baz used foo 1.1 they would use the separate ones.
If you get unprpivileged access to a system, and somehow manage to crash sshd, or win a race to bind port 22 when sshd restarts, you can intercept other logins.

If you can bind port 80,you can gets ssl certs via let's encrypt (which could let you intercept not just web, but also smtp/imap etc).

So yes, it can make a difference. Of course - it's better if the user doesn't have access to begin with.

This might be more interesting for classical multi-user servers than "single use" servers that don't allow "regular" users to login via ssh.

Memory is the easy bit. You just overprovision and then disable the broken cache blocks via fuses.

Logic is harder because you might have to disable the entire core.
The bonkers thing seemed to me to be having the notification and/or override as an opt-in feature you could buy. Southwest didn't want to train pilots and newly visible behavior requires new training. No surprise that airlines elsewhere in the world also skimped on the "optional" features to the doom of the passengers and crew.
I think Rich Hickey's simplicity talks are an important contribution to our industry. I think they are an eloquent message that can help get developers on a similar page. But ultimately, I feel, it's just poetics.

If I asked the best developers in the world to write down all of their wisdom with the goal that they would only be allowed to criticize code they review if a computer could show that one of their rules was violated. And the take the results to an alien world. I assert we would find the vast majority of the rules not helpful. Or if we went to the past and changed the course of history such that all modern programming languages are (at least a little) different. Or if we even took the rules to a different sub industry (videogames to aerospace or vice versa).

Our ideas of quality, simplicity, and everything else all have an unbelievable high dependency on context (at least when they aren't coming from ego, arrogance, ignorance, preference, or anecdote). Even something as small as adding a new library/framework, getting a new team member, or changing a feature or product goal can be enough to invalidate or radically change what guidance we give for success.

We have best practices but that phrase is used to justify mutually exclusive and sometimes downright opposite courses of action. When we see something we dont like we call it a code smell. Smell. Like the most primal and instinct driven sense. Not "hey we have some data on why this is bad" but "this code makes my tummy feel bad".

So while I'm glad that people are still meditating on how to make the code simpler. It seems to come down to a religious exercise or a spiritual awakening. The individual comes back enlightened, energized, and quoting poetry. But whether or not anyone listens to them is dependent on how good of a story they can tell.

And whether or not I can participate depends on whether or not they can actually tell me anything real or true. "But what does it really mean," I ask. They blink as if confused. "But I just told you, yellow is the most simple of the colors."

I want you to tell me why my code is bad. But you have to tell me why before I show it to you. A mathematician can tell me why my calculus might be bad before seeing it. A scientist can tell me why my experiment is bad before seeing it. An engineer can tell me why my circuit is bad before seeing it. Even a writer can make some pretty good guesses as to why my story is bad before seeing it. Nobody has ever been able to tell me why the code was bad ahead of time in any way that wasn't hopelessly invalid by the end of the week.
Great news, now just ban all the fiat-crypto exchanges.
Late to this, but to be sure: I have learned for myself that God is real, cares, life has a purpose and extends before & after this mortality, questions have answers, each person including you is of infinite worth, and you never truly have to be alone. If we learn and make good choices, things can and will be very good, better than now.

All real best wishes.

ps: your worth definitely does not depend on comparisons with what seems popular. There are permanent truths one can grasp and keep, for peace & stability amid the hard times that we all can have; even joy.

pps: I thought a great deal about how to do dating better, before my 2nd marriage. Some people here have good comments (avoid tinder, meet people volunteering and in real life, etc). I wrote more things I learned on my web site (in profile). eHarmony was better than most AFAIK, but still has pros/cons.

I’ve done something similar with better results in a Dutch oven inside a low oven, so as long as your over can really hold a low temp this is an option if you don’t have a slow cooker.

You are also better off cutting pole to pole in small wedges but mandoline is faster. Something about the amount of cell wall damage, I forget why.
I am aware. Once I found that my registered nicks and channels are gone, I disconnected from the network, removed Freenode's config from my bouncer and never looked back at Freenode again. Many other users did the same thing.

Further, all the Matrix bridges to the now defunct channels got broken as well after the database was wiped out. That led to the loss of thousands of users who connect to Freenode via the Matrix bridge.

It's worth noting this can vary a lot depending on target market and deal size.

I've had the fortune of being in a tech role where I got to join plenty of sales calls. And I've observed that when selling large deal to large companies, selling is both a skill and a process and the difference between a good salesperson and a mediocre one is literally millions of dollars a year.

If you're looking to close large deals with good clients who you aren't currently in contact with (but who really, truly have a need for what you offer), it's worth looking at selling as a discrete set of skills including prospecting, nurturing leads, getting meetings, and closing deals. Closing can be an adventure even after a prospect said they want to buy. Shepherding a deal through an enterprise onboarding and procurement process is no walk in the park.

A lot of people see this kind of formal selling process as distasteful. I used to feel that way, too. But when I observed it in action it didn't seem like enterprise decision makers viewed the process negatively. They expected to be sold to and were generally receptive to it because the product met a need.

So as I mentioned, it's highly dependent on what you sell and who you're selling it to, but I think a wholesale dismissal of selling as a useful skill would be a mistake.

Kiwi Farms is vile. I stumbled upon it while researching someone who turned out to be a target of one of their hate campaign. Its a PHP Forum-style site, but with entire sub forums dedicated to small groups and event specific people. Long running topics would be an entire persons hate campaign against them.

The members seem to have a strange, self-claimed moral authority. The posts are a mix of records of what they have done to harass people, updates on past targets, ideas for future hate, and justification about why this person deserves it. Overall it was sad for everyone involved. I hope they find some solace in their lives, if only to let their victims find it also.

> STAR is not easier to implement than ordinal voting methods in general, it may be easier to implement than IRV [0] in particular. Likewise, while IRV is not district summarizable, some ordinal methods are.

Could you provide an example? Thanks in advance.

My understanding is that Arrow's impossibility theorem does not apply to STAR or any other Cardinal Voting system. Is that incorrect?

Land owners in the south are getting squeezed by the mills to the point there's almost no profit in growing trees. Some of them are turning to selling "renewable energy" in the form of wood pellets for "renewable energy" power plants.

In other words, its more profitable to burn trees then sell them to sawmills.

Pretty interesting how I was bag-shamed at the grocery store years ago using paper bags. And now those same people are using paper bags. I guess in the rock paper scissors of woke environmental policy, dolphins always beat trees.
