It made my life as an MSP easier for sure and allowed us to support more clients and bigger businesses and get more done. But I fear you might be right, and it just isn’t worth the risk of a hole like this. Now I’m going to be up for days restoring servers, and data on any workstations that wasn’t backed up is gone. I think we’ll be filing a claim for this one.

I agree, but there's no way my mom could figure out IRC on her own. She uses Dropbox daily, though.
Back in the 1999-2000 I developed a multi-channel portal system, where each portlet[1] was emitting an XML with a custom schema, and the backend was transforming it using XSLT to HTML, WAP/WML and VoiceXML. I think I even had an experimental 3D VR version using Flatland markup language or something like this.

Also, at one of the messaging companies we developed an XML-based DSL for messenger-embedded 3rd party app development. It was inspired by Mozilla XUL, and was similar to modern chatbots with UI and WeChat's mini-apps.

I love how most recent CSS specs about color were done though a linear lens. When color functions like darken() were in the spec, the color math wasn't done in sRGB which explains why darken in Less and Sass often look bad and the CSS blur filter makes ugly muddy browns between blocks of color.

Vim has been bundling plugins since forever. Netrw, for example, is just a bundled plugin, but also a bunch of others like matchit.

This is an implementation detail IMO. Firefox also implements some of its functionality via extensions: screenshots, picture-in-picture, and various web compat hacks are all extensions. Most people don't even know and couldn't care less.

There are lots of unusual things about the Assange case, but the fact that the government tried to strengthen it by offering leniency to an informant isn’t one of them.
Yes, but what does the synchronisation? That's the essence of these algorithms - how to effectively create a single clock that is (acceptably) synchronised between nodes. Here's some lecture notes on the problem (and solutions):-

Attribution is quite hard. When the 3-letter-agency tools leaked a few years ago, one of their leaked tools concerned deliberate false attribution.

The solarwinds attack seemed to be about using a supply-chain attack to gain persistent access for recon and lateral movement. Pivot to Azure via Microsoft via SolarWinds software. Whomever it was tried to stay invisible for as long as possible. Once the game was up, they were not so careful about visible actions.

RansomWare is more smash and grab though it's interesting/sad to see the current trends of Supply Chain attack prevalence and Ransomware attacks converge.

> we totally should look at historical events with the current “lens”.

No, there are things that Romans did better than us today, even looking at them with current lenses, but that are hard to replicate in our times given the complexity of our society, the conflicts, the political systems, and, last but not least, the vastly better education and influence the general population has.

We should learn from past mistakes though.

If we apply basic statistic, deaths/years of activity, in the Colosseum died ~1 thousand humans every year.

It's more or less the number of people shot and killed by the U.S. police every year.

That's what we should do better because, of course, we're not sending people to fight to death or against lions anymore.

To me, that looks like a solved problem.
I read the entire thing.

Hah, nowadays there are mask mandates (more in Europe rather than in the Land of the Free). Makes me wonder what the world would be like with gym attendance mandates, or 10000 steps-a-day mandates.
Interesting. I use full Vue for this quite a lot, mount onto specific DOM points, replace their content with (most commonly) an enhanced form, or a data table. Works well, costs 30Kb plus compat layers. You can argue all day long about the cost of 30Kb, but then you put a 200Kb image in your header.

Anyway, looking at the docs, my approach wouldn't be as easy in vue-petite. It looks like Components have been functionally gutted. You can still approximate something, but you seem to lose a lot of ecosystem benefits of Vue. Theirs looks great for

Ultimately, this all seems like something coverage and tree-shaking should be able to do. If you're only using 5Kb of Vue, only 5Kb should be bundled. One day, eh? Until then, is the additional 25Kb actually hurting your users?

I don't think it is - I think it's cultural and organisational. The CFO and Finance in general see businesses as capital flows, they don't see value being added - just opportunities for leverage and cash management. The description of a cost center is a labelling denoting a target for removal and reduction - the destruction of value that occurs (typically 12 -24 months after the exercise) is seen as disconnected and irrelevant.

This is what I understood:

There are two side of a programmer
a. Intellectual - The one who solves a problem by design discussions and creating mental model of the solution.
b. Robotic - The one who actually types the code, tests it, makes it free of issues and deploys it.

Just like the deployment part is taken care of by the CI/CD pipelines now, the CoPilot now attempts to automate the "typing code" part in a different way than the IDEs have approached.

> some sequences appear to have been deleted

That is a completely unrelated issue. The sequences you're talking about are sequences from patients (obtained in February 2020, I believe). They are not bat coronavirus sequences, which is what the poster above you is referring to. The Wuhan Institute of Virology publishes the sequences it discovers. RaTG13, the closest known relative of SARS-CoV-2, was published in 2016, for example.

Even if we're talking about the patient data, even though the authors withdrew their raw data from a database, they still published the most important information in a paper: the genetic sequences.

Yes. 6000 years, that's 3% of the time we have been around as species. It's not important for me to push anything, let alone something that would empower evil behavior. It's just that I really, really can not see how the idea that pretty much all human societies have similar morals revolving around 'be a good person' goes together with the following facts:

1. Tens of thousands of people are part of societies where initiation into the society entails killing someone. (Various gangs).

2. Hundreds of millions of people are living in societies where honor killings is a thing.

3. Depending on how you count, there have been more than twenty genocides in the last century. That's during 0.05% of the time Homo Sapiens have been around.

4. Hundreds of millions (if not billions) of people are living in societies where a blogger can get lynched for a blasphemous post.

5. There have actually been societies in recent times ending up literally poisoning each other.

6. Just some 5 years ago around 10 million people lived in a society where people were thrown off roofs for being gay.

The list is obviously non-exhaustive. And all of the above is basically going on now, I'm not even getting into what we know went on a few centuries from now. Burning innocent women on pyres for imagined slights, anyone?

Like... Do all these people know/knew they are evil according to our 'common' and 'universal' core morals? I bet they feel pretty good about themselves when lynching the blasphemer. It's just that I refuse to accept that our core morals are similar.
IRC is missing many features that people expect these days though, whereas I don't think Bittorrent is. Bittorrent has definitely done a better job at evolving than IRC has too. E.g. with the DHT, magnet links, webtorrent, etc.

IRC doesn't even support basic text formatting, let alone links, images, emojis, threads, etc.

I think leap seconds and other time strangeness would prevent physical clocks from being totally reliable. AFAIK time is now implemented as being always monotonous, but you could get the same timestamp for multiple actions which are actually executed sequentially. Incrementing the local logical clock on every action is guaranteed to be safe.

I work at Google.

SO definitely comes up during copyright/IP training.

The basic idea is 'reading SO answers to learn how to solve a problem is fine, copying/transcribing the code is not'.

Google is quite paranoid re. copyright and licenses.
It's a quick fix that will take more time to fix later than it would to do it properly now but typically gets done to meet a deadline because time is of the essence currently for some reason.

There is significant cognitive load in understanding the code and what it does and why it does it that way etc. Keeping all the important bits in one mind is challenging and a lot of the little fixes can lose sight of the big picture in a way that comes at a cost and, over time, this can really add up.

Over time, different people may work on the code and have different reasons why they made different choices and at some point it may all stop playing well together. Then there comes a point where someone needs to try to reconcile all the different bits and understand what needs to happen and why and rebuilding the entire catalog of goals, features, etc. in one mind at one time so someone actually understands it all and gets it right is a substantial future cost that only grows as you keep delaying that step.

(From one lay person to another -- I do write code, mostly html, and run some web projects, mostly blogs and Reddits, and spend too much time on HN. So technical debt isn't alien to my experience though I'm not really a programmer.)
Myocarditis After Immunization with mRNA Covid-19 Vaccines in US Military
For client-side and server-side JS, we use big.js [1].

- We use strict mode [2] so we are forced to only input strings and never numbers.

- We set rounding mode [3] to round-down.

- Finally the default 20 decimal places [4] seems reliable enough for most of our use-cases.

- It's also immutable and we can easily truncate decimal places with toFixed(dp) [5]

I think parent meant that instead of using an auto-incremented integer for the local clocks, one could just use local time (which can also be expressed as an integer). As I mentioned in the other comment, I think that would break the guarantee that order can be inferred at the local level.
After more than 20 years with Thunderbird as my reader (first NNTP, then RSS), I switched to NewsBlur and am much happier.

While thunderbird is a good reader, it doesn’t synchroniZe “already seen” across machines, and many feeds only have the latest 10 items in their XML feed, so unless you poll continuously, you are likely to miss updates.

I like to occasionally take a week off the world (without the laptop), and many of my feeds have more than 10 updates a week (some more than 10 a day).
Is cutting and pasting a tough one? Maybe the big word scared ya? I could have written open, with no change in meaning.

If it's not clear I didn't sign it in the technical sense, no one would know what to do with it, there's not a widely supported standard for that. These were business folks who wanted a png/jpeg image of the form with my scribble on it.

An image editor is perfect for that it turns out, and it takes two steps, three if you count save.

> This is a crude exploit of automated content filtering systems and shows the real danger of so-called 'upload filters' that block content from appearing on websites with no human review or discretion,

The idea behind YouTube and other video-sharing platforms is that they allow anyone to express themselves.

If this "platforms" have so much control on the content that is published, why are not just labeled as "broadcast television" and end the charade?

I guess that the only reason this has not yet happened is because Google wants to play the game without following the rules, regulations will force Google to take responsibility on what it publishes to a greater extend.

Copyright is broken, so, not all fault is on Google and the others. But, the Internet seems to have enabled many to break social norms and regulations. New rules are needed that are fair and up to date with the times.

Bitcoin Is National Currency in El Salvador. Now Who's Going to Get Rich?
If US police officers killed 1,000 people a year for four centuries, it'd be about 0.13% of the present population of the United States. If I'm reading this right, a single city forced the rest of the Roman empire to violently sacrifice an equivalent of at least 40% of the city's population (which peaked at 1 million iirc) for their own amusement. How is that comparable to the fatalities caused by law enforcement officers operating on behalf of over 320,000,000 people, in any lens?
