This is potentially of interest to any application making use of POST. Its generality and simplicity justifies standardisation.
Saving water is a good outcome.

It would have been nice if the reward for doing so was less cost, since that was one of the big marketing messages of the campaign.

Instead they opted to give us less for more - perhaps that was the intention all along.
I agree you need some integration tests, but, in my experience, if you define an interface the defines what you need from third parties, you can make 90% of the code you care about unit testable.

For me, this isn’t just theory: I’ve worked at a place that trained its employees to write code this way, and the benefit was obvious.
Which aren't observable because the end of the finite universe is beyond our relativistic sight horizon.
That's a policy decision.
The concept is worth knowing about, but that doesn’t mean it belongs in the standard, especially since there’s more than one way to do it.

I’m wondering if someone knows a particular reason why this way needed to be standardized.
For any controversial political stuff I recommend the "enemy" search engine. You will not find easily the more controversial gaffes of the Biden family on Google, but on Yandex it will be top result. But if you want to know more about Putin's corruption or Navalny's life in prison, use Google.

For X rated sexy stuff, Bing with safe search off. Duckduckgo is usually the best for website that don't care that much about copyright.

Nothing in this article makes sense. Others have pointed out the design argument is silly.

I can also find no data that backs up the notion that there are 61 million disabled drivers out there.
It’s certainly possible but no idea where that stat comes from and searching doesn’t find it.

The 500 million disposable income is also weird to highlight.

That would mean each of the 61 million disabled drivers has about $8.50 in disposable income. That isn’t going to buy them anything ev, or not.

So my guess is the article is just mixing lots of different and irrelevant data to try to make a point (and failing)
Yes, but the OP asked if people are reading specific commits in a PR.

The answer for me at last is no. Because the history in a PR should not matter but only the final commit. That's why we choose to squash commits in my current role.
SAAS exists to serve these companies pretty well. The cloud has helped even more with getting services procured for less than the granular cost of a full time employee.

It's a big paradigm jump to go from SMB with mostly externalized functions/SAAS to getting economies of scale with your own major IT department, assets, and facilities.

I've argued for years that MBAs need to be trained on the fundamentals of IT as much as finance and accounting: large enterprises are all IT organizations now, and good IT is a major major competitive advantage in the marketplace and a primary source of large economies of scale and efficiencies.

The biggest example of this is Amazon, which essentially competed in the retail space as a very well run software/IT corporation. And now they dominate not just online retail but the cloud.
> On Error Resume Next takes an approach that’s the worst idea in many error situations

Does this mean that this feature should not exist? Or that it may be misused?

It seems just a kind of rough Java 'try-final'. If you know that an access to disk, e.g., may fail 'resume on next' just guaratees that the rest of code is executed.

This would not be so wise in a language like C++ were you may have corrupted the stack. But, for basic it had its uses.

Just to add to my other post, I like what you're getting at. I think getting money out of politics would make a huge difference. Let's make a voluntary and auditable pledge that politicians could make before they are elected where they promise never to entertain lobbyists. Politicians could take the pledge to win votes in tight election races.
Calling the famine an issue of erroneous data does a disservice to the victims. Millions of people don't starve while having their food confiscated at gun point due to an accounting error.
> My definition of "open source" is that the source code is publicly available. That's it.

If I defined "open source" to mean that changes the source code must be released publicly, it's going to be pretty hard for me to talk to all the other people who already use "open source" to mean something else. There is already a standard term for the source code being publicly available: "source available": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-available_software. You're also welcome to invent and attempt to popularize any alternative term you want, but using idiosyncratic definitions makes discussion less clear.

> Just because that organization got their hands on a premium domain name doesn't mean they get to decide what that term means.

The OSI didn't just claim "opensource.org" -- the folks behind it coined (https://opensource.com/article/18/2/coining-term-open-source...), introduced, and popularized the term "open source" over two decades ago. From the beginning they have used the same definition, which was derived from the Debian project's Free Software Guidelines.

They are not also not the only ones who use the term that way. Wikipedia has "Licenses which only permit non-commercial redistribution or modification of the source code for personal use only are generally not considered as open-source licenses" -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source

Exactly. Policy is implemented by people. Eventually those who put extraordinary amount of time online will takeover editor/moderator positions and win editor wars. Most of those people are definitely not real experts in the field. Because real world experts wouldn't have time / motivation to engage in online fight.
The thing I miss from 3ds Max is that you could have a non-destructive workflow for basic primitives because the geometry of simple objects like a cylinder just lived at the bottom of the modifier stack and you could change them later.

Once you need to edit the mesh you have to “apply” that geometry and lock it in, but it’s handy to be able to go back and say “When I merge these objects the topology flows better with 24 faces around the cylinder instead of 16.”

Haven’t used it too recently, but in blender I think that still means deleting the object and making a new one to replace it.
use const is a better choice, I changed static to const, the result is the same here.
In ideal world const, constexpr, explicit (for constructors), and no default implicit conversions (and others that I'v missed) should've been the default...
Have you seen zig? It's a modern language that tries to keep the simplicity and explicitness of C (it does change the syntax a bit though).
Buried seismic sensors have been used by CBP for years now, there’s an entire program dedicated to using them specifically for detecting tunnels as well.

Nah dude, I installed Slackware 7 in 1999 when I was 13, and used Linux up until 2003. Then I bought a G4 PowerBook and never looked back. People who chose OSX for its UNIX foundation weren't too dumb and stupid to use Linux, contrary to what you believe.
This is not in fact true.

The basket of goods didn't have any fixed ruble price, as much of it was free.

Much of production was never given a full price in rubles, as a large part of it was by direct resource allocation.

You can indeed estimate it using a basket of goods and their equivalent values, but not with income and import/export + exchange rates because you're then removing all natural wealth.

It's a very difficult problem. You can make an estimation, but it's still an estimation, that is, for hard GDP. For PPP I agree the numbers are accurate, but that's not what was being discussed.
Yeah, when I’ve run into this sort of bug, I always try to figure out how to make the unit tests reproduce the bug as a failing test case before attempting to fix the bug.
In that case, where you then recommended to only make one commit? Are there guidelines for the average/ideal commit length? Did this add to extra workload in creating "perfect" commits? Likewise, did this mean that pushing "WIP" commits to remote was rare?
Your last paragraph is very interesting. Yet, I’m much more positive regarding that scenario.

I think it’s helps to look at wood as an analogy. Dead wood could not be broken down for a long time. That’s why we ended up with dead trees turned into coal and oil.

Then bacteria arrived which could break these materials down. But still today we have a lot durable things built out of wood.

I think similarly we will find ways to protect our important plastics.
How is "vegan beef jerky" relevant to cultured meat?
I'm guessing like a lot of reposts, it was deemed more relevant now, especially the GitHub Copilot-esque "from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as BS" prompt that the commenter alleged to have emitted plausible python: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27447557

I will admit, I'm especially impressed that it caught the "as BS" part in its code generation -- then again, it's entirely possible that a lot of code examples do that, so maybe a more stunning result would be "as BSOUP" and see if it still generates plausible code
Yes, they were introduced partially as experiments. As far as I'm aware though there was never an automated input/output calculation which is the real step #1 of cybernetic planning.
It really is weird. We work hard to produce a lot of water and then we expect there to be a buyer for the water, simply because we worked hard for it.

I'd say reducing water usage was a good thing even if it lead to higher prices but unless the population of that city is growing it clearly is a waste of potential to have all that infrastructure sit partially idle.
`DoEvents` seems equivalent to the modern `await` feature.
Hmm, if the chimpanzee is rich with a life expectancy of only 35 it may be worth it. On the other side, golddigger is probably not the worse thing that people is going to think about you.
I personally run my hardware for longevity (larger PSU, good temperature ranges, minimal overclocking, etc.) and upgrade every two years but I migrate my tech. downwards. Example: Gaming Rig -> Misc. Project/Guest PC -> NAS/Media Box. Working in tech. you very often make a salary that allows you to upgrade all of these rigs every year with no real consequences, but I think if nothing else we should be trying to reduce tech. waste. Semiconductor manufacturing has a large carbon footprint just like everything else.
Can confirm this is why we did it. Very confused to see Red Hat claim that Base64 was a security thing.
WTFPL and CC0 apply to a tiny fraction of FLOSS software.

More importantly, just because a chunk of code is published under CC0 on github that does not give you any guarantee that such code is not already breaching an existing copyright.

It happened in various occasions that closed source code was leaked into FLOSS projects and if you reuse it you are in breach of the license as well.
Has GitHub agreed that it scraps based on license of the repository?

If so then what about private repositories with a permissible license but not been made public for what ever reason.

What about those projects whose dependencies has permissible license but main repo doesn't? Can GitHub just go oops!

I think the point that so much confusion exists regarding their product & possible violation of user's trust is a valid reason to be pissy about.
This sounds like a wired-centric approach, where people assume that everyone has a fiber connection. And I agree that it is ridiculous that cable companies have such bad upstream.

Can starlink support synchronous up/down? I doubt it. The satellite swarm companies are going to bring the internet to rural/third world/oceania/etc in a way that hasn't been possible before.

Even cellular won't solve deserts, ocean, tundra, and IIRC the tower density to support decent 4G/5G for true broadband just isn't economically feasible outside of suburbs, towns, highways, etc.

But I'm shocked at the support range of LTE in wisconsin and upper peninsula michigan, although the bandwidth is pretty average, so what do I know.
I remember the Java IDE like Eclipse or NetBeans being incredibly slow, and ugly, compared to the same software on similar priced computers running windows or GNU/Linux, or compared to more native software like Xcode or TextMate. But perhaps the powerpc g4 was simply a bad CPU for a JVM and Java developers were not very good at designing UIs for Mac.

I also remember having to wait a long time whenever the JVM was starting. It was annoying when a website did contain a Java applet because my web browser would be stuck until the JVM was ready.
Besides what others have pointed out about the base64 comment which is very unfortunate coming from RedHat... this is a very superficial article which doesn’t really explain how to actually store secrets safely.

I found happiness by either using AWS KMS (I assume other clouds offerings can do the same) by then storing the encrypted blob in K8s Secrets or through the Vault sidecar approach (obviously when using Vault only).

> the implication that they have enough data to be interesting to law enforcement

I definitely agree that this is what people are upset about, it just seems like an overreaction.

After all, that's probably not why they added the line – it's probably just part of the boilerplate used by their new lawyers.
I agree with a number of your points:

1) Many people already live in high-CO2 indoor environments. Please see my earlier comment elsewhere in this thread where I relate how my own home quickly shoots up to over 1300 ppm if I turn off my ventilation system. Most people don’t even have ventilation systems.

2) People should monitor their indoor air quality. Consider giving a CO2 monitor to friends and family who don’t have one.

3) We can draw no conclusions from this paper. Please see my earlier comment that the statistical analysis is flawed and the methods could have been better.

4) There is a serious problem with the motivations, execution, dissemination, and interpretation of research today. This has been a problem for as long as scientific papers have existed. Einstein once told Norbert Weiner that he deplored the flooding of the literature by immature, idea-less papers. I don’t think the situation has improved since then. Recent politics haven’t helped.

5) Animals, even mice, should never be harmed without strong justification.

Here’s where we disagree:

1) The fact that people already live in high-CO2 environments does not imply there are no ill effects. There have been multiple studies indicating that high CO2 environments significantly degrade cognitive performance by large amounts. This implies some plausibility for developmental effects in children, which we have seen with other pollutants.

2) Although your outdoor CO2 measurements are not individually unusual, you should generally see an average below 500 ppm unless you live near an unusual outdoor source of CO2. Even next to a busy road in a highly polluted city, the average should be below 600 ppm. I suspect there is either an issue with your monitor or your breath may be sometimes drifting to the sensor. Your own breath can cause errors of several hundred ppm. Be sure to keep the sensor at arm’s length and stay downwind. Even better, get a unit that will record a history and step away from it for awhile.

3) You imply the paper makes extreme claims that it does not actually make. You are probably right that others will make extreme conclusions, but that is different.

4) A study does not need to reach a valid conclusion to have value. Much of science requires eliminating dead ends and finding potential hypothesis for follow-up. It is not economically feasible to study all possible hypothesis. We must make some advancements through incremental trial and error. This paper serves an exploratory function. The methods are reasonable enough to propose hypotheses for a couple of developmental effects. This was really more of a pilot study, although I doubt that was the intent. I’ve seen worse pilot studies that were still useful. To reach credible conclusions, other studies would need to be performed using a larger number of subjects and/or fewer tests along with better statistical analysis.

5) For the past 10,000 years, outdoor CO2 levels averaged around 280 ppm. Tripling that over a few hundred years is an extreme event. It is vital that we understand the potential consequences as soon as possible. I believe mitigations are possible if we develop sufficient motivation.
Github will host all forks.

I just wish there was a home for forked Wikipedia articles. The analogy isn't perfect. Whatever.
It wasn't ambiguous, I meant buyers.
I think the nice thing about this is that the facades usually don’t change: you might add methods, but, once the code is written, it only changes if you’re doing something major like switching databases. Code that is written and then never changed tends to be less buggy than code that changes, so this sort of pattern tends to reduce bugs at integration points.

It's the proximate cause. As we all know it had horrible effects. Had the USSR been able to accurately measure food production it wouldn't have happened, so it is indeed the proximal cause.
Yes, but you would need way fewer of such phrases than you need now. Making the exceptional case take more code is the way to go, IMO.

Many languages also support something like

case 1,2,4:

or even

case 1-10, 20-22, 34:

That further decreases the need for falling through.
At least things are starting to move in the right direction with DDR5, although it's still not perfect.

Taken to the extreme:

My clipboard is an ML model that trains on exactly one sample at a time. Ctrl + C is a hotkey for doing a training run on currently highlighted data, and Ctrl + V is a hotkey for generating output from the previous run.
Just this week I was looking for a portable music player, and I was rather frustrated about what's available. The cheap models suffer from various issues including unresponsive buttons and according to the reviews e.g. Sony's cheaper devices significantly degraded in quality with prices staying the same.

The next price range upwards has touchscreens, and either iOS, Android, or a proprietary OS in a rather mediocre quality. Also battery life tends to be on the shorter side thanks to those things now running a smartphone OS just so they can play music and run Spotify.

Then there are the super expensive devices, the only noteworthy differences being analog volume knobs, nicer smartphone CPUs and nicer sound. Still touchscreens and Android everywhere.

If Apple announced an iPod with clickwheel, integrated Apple Music/Spotify streaming and nice battery life they'd punch a hole into the competition. But realistically the remaining market is probably too small for them to bother.
In the electrical world, this is called time domain reflectometry.
There had been periodic environmental famines in Eastern Europe for centuries. The one in the 30s in Ukraine was exacerbated by landlords (kulaks) refusing to sell food to the state for lower prices and even destroying grain and cattle in an effort to raise prices. Incomplete information meant central planning was slow to react to both of these problems and many did starve, but of course capitalist countries also exaggerated the numbers.

My parents and extended family lived in România before 89, they describe quickly improving conditions, in some ways better than today. Guaranteed homes, education and jobs went a long way, for example.

All of the Eastern European economies also started off semi-feudal with little industry when compared to Western Europe. They were also under constant attack and blockade from the capitalist countries, that’s what the Cold War was about.

Regardless of all that, it’s a fact that the Soviet economy was unaffected by the Great Depression, which was the whole point on planned economies.
That marriage is the basis of counterpoint is consistent with theology. Not with science.

Marriage customs are a common means of enforcing discriminatory societal practices (miscegenation, same sex, other religion, etc.). The logical structure of the objection is consistent with all of those…they are plug and play for chimpanzees.
If you have a spare 200k laying around you won’t make use of it beyond the grave so you don’t lose anything anyway?
I would agree with you if humans were good at fact checking and then changing their minds based on those facts. But humans do not work that way and never will. Even you yourself don't work that way because you won't check to see if I'm lying, and if you do and see that I am not and that the research soundly supports my position, you won't change your mind.
If you go far enough back all of our technology arises from fire and the wheel.

There's plenty of room to debate how much of our technology came from the military, but I don't think naming is a big deal.

Take the word "screen" for example. The original meaning was a partition to protect from heat. Many of these were fabric, and led to "magic lantern" shows done with shadows. The word was repurposed again for the projection era. And yet again for tube TV's and beyond.

If you told somebody from 100 years ago to look at the screen they would have no idea what you're talking about because the original meaning is lost.

That's why I don't think it matters whether we use military terms for computer stuff. It doesn't have its original meaning anymore.
> i mean hidpi displays themselves are very rare - if you check any desktop resolution stats they often barely are a blip

Do you have a link/cite for this? I couldn’t find easily somewhere summarizing pixel density stats.

“Desktop resolution stats” is not the same thing. All the retina displays have at least a 2x pixel ratio so these tables on a cursory Google search are clearly lumping 13 inch MacBook pros into the 1280x800 bucket for instance.

You got a reference to something that clearly is accounting for pixel ratio?
