Hmmm.... I guess it is when you grew up? I thought the 70's were king for U.S. filmmakers. And 70's sci-fi was some of the best. Until "Star Wars" came along and killed it.

I loved "Star Wars" when it came out, was blown away. But in hindsight I am sad to see it was marked the end of 70's sci-fi.

And then "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which I loved, was more or less the modern blueprint for all the crap that has come out since. It represents a storyboard approach to the screenplay/film: basically action sequences tied together with a thin thread of plot.

The various "Pirates of the Caribbean" are classic examples of the rot that followed as are every superhero film, every "Fast and Furious" film, "Transformers", etc.

I don't have the cycles to spend on all the "streamed content" that HBO, Netflix, etc. are cranking out now so I can't comment on whether "TV" is better these days.
What command is that flag intended for?
Agree. Something like "Borat" could totally be made today. I'm not sure what they are on about.
Coreutils, written in the V language
I'm pointing out my conclusion: nothing is safe... yikes!

And no, I'm not worried that because of this article anyone can keylog my stuff. It's the realization from OPs summary that there are many attack vectors, and vulnerabilities hiding in and between layers and components. iPads are no different in that respect.

Seriously, how do we get passed the current state of zero-days and major vulnerabilities cropping up on the reg?

Some ideas from other commenters here aren't entirely convincing to me: require open source, require software standards (both of which would need to apply to hardware/silicon as well). I'm honestly looking for some thoughts on how to build a more secure digital future (Links to articles or studies are welcome).
Roger Ebert wrote an essay [0] in 1992 reflecting on his career as a critic. He writes

>In the past 25 years I have probably seen 10,000 movies and reviewed 6,000 of them. I have forgotten most of those films, I hope, but I remember those worth remembering, and they are all on the same shelf in my mind.

Overall, he seems never to have lost the joy of watching movies. A relevant quote:

>When you go to the movies every day, it sometimes seems as if the movies are more mediocre than ever, more craven and cowardly, more skillfully manufactured to pander to the lowest tastes, instead of educating them. Then you see something absolutely miraculous. Something like "Wings of Desire," or "Do the Right Thing," or "Drugstore Cowboy," or "Gates of Heaven," or "Beauty and the Beast," or "Life Is Sweet," and on your way home through the White Hen Pantry you look distracted, as if you had just experienced some kind of a vision.

There is no empirical evidence in what he says
There is an alternate theory for why movies were more varied, creative and experimental from the late 80s until the 00s: The rise of Megaplexes, particularly AMC, which greatly increased the number of screens and showings available and made smaller, non-mainstream films economically viable. However, by the early 00s a sort of "movie screen bubble" had formed and weird movies declined again in favor of blockbusters.

https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-megaplex/
I echo the sentiment. It has become harder and harder to find movies you truly like. When I was in late teens, I had made the goal to watch every good movie out there. So I quickly ran through hundreds of 8+ rated movies on IMDb and I liked most of them.

Now, there are pretty good movies in 7+ rated class too, but they are often hit or miss. But it's not impossible to find them. There are hundreds of classic I still have to go through, but having watched the 8+ my expectations are high, and it's pretty difficult to match them. But still, I find myself appreciating little things in movies. For eg, Fantastic Planet (1973) doesn't have a smart plot per se, but I like how it reflects surrealism of the 70s and it's not the kind of movie that will ever be made again.

The hardest thing is it's impossible to find recommendations that truly match my taste. Memories of Murder (2003) is rated 8+ on IMDb but I absolutely hated it. It's slow and pathetic. Misery (1990) on the other hand was A+ movie for me, but I almost found it accidentally.
This is a perfect example of how the less money you charge, the worse your users will behave. Audacity is collecting crash reports. Plenty of software collects crash reports. Crash reports are necessary for building reliable desktop software.

For some reason free (gratis) software attracts the most entitled users ever. If I were in charge of Audacity I'd be inclined to charge a $1 "distribution fee" just to weed these users out.
>If you have a bad writer, no amount of good other stuff can salvage your movie.

no, if you have good actors they can make your bad writing in some ways standable.

There is the whole "so bad it's good movie" which is generally because the actors manage to make the badness bearable.

Con Air and The Rock were not written by a writer as good as the ones you mentioned but they did have the right actors to make those movies really enjoyable for a lot of people. I would submit the actors salvaged those movies.
I have been noticing in myself a sense of eroding novelty in all fiction, where every device of comedy and tragedy is becoming a familiarity. I think this is a kind of maturity, where continued fulfillment necessitates meaningful participation in the eternal drama of real Life.
The French cultural war you never knew about

How are you going to figure out a specific user's content size (of a specific app or content type) from a sea of encrypted exabytes?

What about this is practical?
There are a few Chinese SciFi movies on various streaming platforms that I stumbled across. They were quite interesting, in putting forth this 'Chinese vision of the space exploration future'.

They were less dark and dismal like shows such as The Expanse, and more forward looking and positive, while still having 'cataclysmic events to be overcome'

They were interesting to watch.

On a side note a lot of western futuristic scifi in the last 20 years has future, eg +100 years, languages consisting of pidgin of english, chinese, primarily with smatterings of french and german.
> It appears that the goal John was shooting for was to have as broad an impact by having the code being reused in as many situations as possible. On this metric, yes BSD would have been a superior choice.

You basically made the point on why using the BSD license would've been superior...

There are a lot of things the GPL prevents and Carmack is spot on about it.
So?

The most famous american space program is literally named after Apollo.
I don't think digital itself is the problem. Rather, much like the music industry, the knowledge of how to monetize most efficiently has killed creativity to a great extent in mainstream culture. You can make a hundred Eyes Wide Shuts and you wouldn't get the profit of The Avengers.

I'd also note that a passion for film has been culled out of the Hollywood management class almost entirely. They are running corporations, not film studios, unlike some older generations. Not to say that profit wasn't an important motivator ever since film began, but it was never the sole reason for funding movies across the industry like it is today.

It's also very sad that taste in movies will be fundamentally altered by this period. Taste for complex movies needs to be formed - in a world of Marvel movies, it's very hard to even understand what is good about a film like A Clockwork Orange or Birdman.

> As far as I know, there is no static analysis tool out there that has disable comments and allows making some rules not disableable (please let me know if you know one!).

Rust has four levels for lints: allow, warn, deny and forbid. You can nest these to override the level inside an item, except for forbid, which means “deny, and don’t allow any overriding”. This is most commonly seen with #[forbid(unsafe_code)].

See https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/lints/levels.html for more info.
so, we all have the privilege to read the DOOM source code because the GPL exists and was compatible with the business needs of Id Soft, as well as JC’s vision, is how i’m reading this.

There's cool editing and shooting on reddit filmmaking subs not to mention the super competitive music video market for cinematographers and editors

I feel like this is what I indicated as well.

> In particular, one I’d love to hear more about is why so many deployments are still choosing 2-socket servers by default

bit of a guess but connectivity has been coming at a stupidly high premium for too long. there are sweet sweet blade chassis with price optimized less than full power 1p designs but 10g is still kind of novel there. bigger form factors are starting to see 25gbit at not-astronomical prices & switches in some rare cases are reasonable too.

power supplies, storage, networking... a computer has a lot of not-entirely-ancillary needs. having multiple chips sharing the perhipetals should make sense, should be cheap. it's not though. the SMP tax is huge huge huge.

thing is we don't need smp. we just need multihost peripherals. we needs nic's that like the grouphug ocp board can support 4 separate modes via pcie srv-io, a nice that can present multiple different virtual functions that different hosts can use. NVME similarly could be multiport- was was. power supplies are shared in ocp designs, with big bus rails, some 48v.

I'm notad yet but sure seems dead obvious to me the future of multi-socket is non-coherency. build a big board with a couple different isolated computers on it, but connected via shared nic or nics to the top-of-rack. we get close with the 3 per width ope compute systems but those each need to be self contained, and there's an obvious leap in efficiency to be had by merging those three separate computers onto a single motherboard, while sharing some network, maybe storage devices. also like throw in some gratis pcie ntb maybe for a medium speed (32gbps on pcie 4.0 x16) direct server to server interconnect. ideally add another ntb unit on most chips so we can make a little mediums speed nearly free ring, or other topology.

choose single sockets but choose many of them, each sharing some common peripherals.
> On a side note a lot of western futuristic scifi in the last 20 years has future, eg +100 years, languages consisting of pidgin of english, chinese, primarily with smatterings of french and german.

Pretty sure all that means is firefly was really popular, and everyone is falling over themselves to copy it.
Exact byte sizes of files in sets of files in a io pattern, combined with timestamps, with many occurrences (=chances at correlation), are very distinguishing.
While explicit(false) does seem like a good way to indicate that, it seems like it's just a happy accident that it exists. The intended purpose of explicit(xyz) is that xyz is a compile-time constant that depends on the template parameters of the current (template) class. A literal true or false isn't needed by the language (just include explicit or don't), but the language would be more complex if they were disallowed so it's easier to allow them.

So in general, improvements to languages don't necessarily remove the need for comments over time.

(On the other hand, more radical improvements might remove needs for warning comments by removing the original problem. In this case, in a language where constructors were explicit by default and you had to opt in to implicit, you wouldn't need the warning to exist in the first place.)
You would've had the privilege of reading the source with BSD too, but the GPL prevents a variety of things from happening so its not as free as the BSD License.

If you want to read into something - he was bullied into using the GPL and not the BSD license.
Tried opening the video link, but it just keeps trying to play some 20 second video about a cellular phone internet data plan. no matter times how many time I refresh. weird.

That's the thing with cookie banners, they're not necessary if you only use them for site specific reasons.

They only become necessary if you're using something like Google analytics, which documents every action taken.

The fact that almost all pages have to show them is another sad example how broken our current internet culture is.

Btw, you can actually delete most banners with the ublock origin annoyances filters, that makes me forget that they exist sometimes
Disable comments are most useful when you’re changing the way a codebase is linted: adding new rules, setting up lint on a legacy codebase, etc.

The value is in making it possible to get to “lint clean” quickly as a first pass, while marking the parts of the code that are tricky to refactor to conform with the style guidelines.

Once the code is lint-clean, you can start reviewing the disable comments and coming up with a more permanent fix.
> There is no empirical evidence in what he says

Didn't Apple remove all GPL-based code from the whole iOS and macOS dev infrastructure at some point due to GPL licensing concerns?

I also believe Apple sticked for a very long time to an older version of GCC in the past, due to licensing concerns of newer versions of GCC [0]. That was, until Apple replaced GCC with Clang.

And I am not sure if GPL-based code can even be submitted to the AppStore [1][2]. As a dev I always avoided GPL-based code in my iOS apps with the exception of GPL2 licensed static libraries (which to my understanding are ok to distribute as part of an app without licensing concerns).

These days I think most big companies avoid GPL3-based code like the plague, thus limiting the spread of GPL-based software.

You can do this with python libraries already
What happened around 2006 is streaming. This caused DVD sales to tank, which had a massive effect on the film industry’s bottom line. DVD sales were a money printer and that cash allowed studios to take more risk. Once DVD sales started tanking the indie film divisions of major studios (like Fox Searchlight) started to die, which is a big reason that films became less interesting. Also, the shift to making money mostly off the box office rather than DVDs meant that a movie needed to make more money in its opening weekend, which meant needing to make tent pole movies that appealed to all ages and international markets. Imagine how hard it is to write a movie for all ages in all countries.
To make myself more clear. SF has jobs, weather, things to do, surrounding nature, a world class airport, and ... high vaccination rates. I can't think of another US city that has all these. With crime and reportedly subpar public schools, I'd probably be thinking differently with a kid. But I can't name a single city that has those as well.
Google spends way too much money building consumer and corporate trust to attempt to cash it in for data they already have the majority of.

Does that mean we can bring a cluster of quantum laptop to ISS and run them at the space station and attack the bitcoin blockchain? Sounds like a valuable mission.
Neither license gives you the right to see the source. GPL only gives you the right if the software is distributed to you, and im pretty sure BSD gives you no rights in that regard.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_licenses

BSD licenses are a family of permissive free software licenses, imposing minimal restrictions on the use and distribution of covered software. This is in contrast to copyleft licenses, which have share-alike requirements. The original BSD license was used for its namesake, the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD), a Unix-like operating system. The original version has since been revised, and its descendants are referred to as modified BSD licenses.

A little discipline will go a long way here:

- If the annotation is thought to be necessary because of a bug in the tool, add a link to the bug next to the disable comment. This makes it easy to get rid of the comment when being alerted that the bug is fixed.

- If you happen to disagree with the tool in a specific instance, and there's no way to override just that case, mention why in the commit message.

- Check for disable comments at peer review.
> Well, the difference is in possibility of checking the value returned by malloc() and thus being able to, for example, inform the user about the error

Not on Linux. Memory over commit means that you get a pointer pointing to nowhere^1 . Your program will simply fail when it traverses the allocated address range the first time and the OS ends up unable to allocate enough memory pages to back the address range.

Thats possible, but I have watched a lot of scifi that occurred prior to firefly and after, and this was more or less the case. Of course thats anecdotal from my memory.

Now, I just saw, no idea how I missed it, Space Truckers from 1996, with Dennis Hopper! I never would have pegged him to do a movie like that. Its 1000% worth seeing for its sheer nuttery.

What's a good way to make sure of it? Not having any opinion of it, because I haven't looked at it?

There are a lot of alternatives to Magic Wormhole. Unfortunately, most of them are pretty sketchy. One thing I can say about Magic Wormhole: it's not sketchy.
iMessage is probably secretly insane: A lot of people's iClouds are stuffed with it, so it probably has random not-worth-saving content going back several years that people don't know how to clean out.
There is so much more to film than story, but story seems to be the author's focus (especially with point #3 and the Lynch footnote.) At a movie every 5 days for 11 years, though, I can't blame the author for burning out.
Looks great. One question though (and this isn't criticism of the research, but just about the presentation/intended audience): why would anyone who's been so 'stubborn' (as they say) so far about sticking with C finally have a change of heart because of this? They clearly prefer to write C themselves, otherwise they'd have already moved on, right? It's not like having a C++-to-C or Rust-to-C compiler would've changed the game for them.
I'll take a knife crime problem over a gun crime problem.
I don’t know. I watch a similar amount of movies each year, and I still enjoy it. If anyone is looking for some more obscure recommendations, can check out The Dreamers, and Stilyagi.

EDIT: I have to add that I reference movies a lot in conversation. Often, I’ll watch a movie then immediately call a family or friend to discuss some finer point. This happens frequently, sometimes for a fairly mundane movie detail.

EDIT2: Now I really want to make a list of movies just from this year, since my number has definitely gone up since COVID. I think I’d easily break 100 in 2021 alone.

EDIT3: Here’s a list from my Netflix history since June 1. Mix of TV and movies. I added Justice League Extended Edition and Replica even though they’re HBO because I watched them recently (within the last week). This isn’t really a representative list of my watching, plus I tend to watch a bunch of similar movies/shows, then switch to a new cluster. This group is particularly action heavy because I was playing a lot in the background recently while doing other work. All of these were fun! Even if I don’t think they are the best ever :))

Sure, but you're claiming the GPL enabled "reading the source" which is patently false.
I would never have had the opportunity to read the DOOM source if JC had insisted on using BSD, because, as JC tweets, his business partners at Id soft would not have gone for it. ipso facto the GPL + Id + JC are responsible for this privilege being available to us all.
Disable comments are my form of political protest. If you take them away then i will only find a significantly more obnoxious end to my mean and i will optimize for wasting your time

Please note that this is "The Washington Times", not the Washington Post.

One of the cool things about having kids is that you get to go through all the movies again from the start.

I got to get all excited about Star Wars again. And Indiana Jones. And Back to the Future. One day soon they’ll be old enough for The Matrix. How cool will that be? I’m gonna get to watch Terminator with these guys for the first time one day.

You also get all the old TV. We’re 4 seasons into The A-Team, and have watched every episode of The original Battlestar Galactica and a bunch of other series from the time when television was suitable for children.

There’s tons of stuff out there. It’s cool too get a fresh start on it all.
generally a huge fan of kubernetes but it's stunning what a did-it-ourselves dirtbag k8s opted to be every step of the way with regard to scheduling.

Facebook has really really good talks about managing process scheduling at scale, talking about how they leverage cgroups to do the right thing.

kubernetes seems to not give a fuck. they have their own resource systems they cooked up. shit gets scheduled in a huge massive cgroup. any order or control is userland, totally ignorant to the kernel control. there's not hierarchies, no priorities, everything is absolute, schedule or die. it's such a ginormous piece of shit, so in unbelievably willfully ignorant to all the good kernel technology that exists. it tries to make sure the kernel never has a role & that's just a huge mistake, just deeply tragic.

one noteable side effect ofany is that while the the kernel has many ways to make multi-tenant scheduling fairly reasonable, kubernetes has a variety of wild hair brained schemes, all of which detour around how easy the job would be if different pods could be scheduled in different cgroups. but that's somehow too blindingly obvious for kubernetes, which instead tries to mediate what to run entirely by itself.
