It isn't that big an assumption given how the engineering responses to incidents include incorporating those incidents into their simulated testing processes.

The point is that the understanding of the problem space increases with each incident. This doesn't mean that regressions are impossible (they are probably inevitable), but each regression also increases understanding of the problem space.
Yeah, I don't think they're literally meaning "hurt" here.

Maybe a better analogy is where you're having a conversation with someone, and they throw in a double-negative. It's not like you're literally unable to work it out, but you need to engage with it consciously for a second. In a high-stakes conversation, that's just something that's good to avoid.

A memorable example of this for me (if a bit of a tangent) was when Felix Baumgartner was doing his mega parachute jump, and they kept screwing up the comms for which direction the wind was coming from / going in: https://youtu.be/rNhmYaWiPEk?t=4200
(by convention, people talk about wind in terms of the direction they come from).

I think the whole thing here is that driving involves a lot of modelling other drivers and their intentions, so our tolerance for bad UX that requires conscious thought should be really low.

The government is not just the president and the buddies he brings in. There are many departments that need to operate after the president and his crew leave office. All of those have a vested interest in keeping their jobs and being able to operate after the next election.

It's no deep state conspiracy that the Pentagon or the CIA have their own opinion on world politics. If anything, the Trump administration has shown that there are still some restraints to the president's power. At some point details were made foggy or even left out in Trump's security briefings out of fear they might get leaked to Twitter. The end result of this process isn't to keep the elites in power or to control the people, it's much more tame than that. People don't like change and when a new guy rolls in and decides that the way some government body does something is wrong, people will naturally resist.

There is always a power balance, usually in favour of the democratically elected officials, between the elected government and the government that sticks around. When push comes to shove the elected officials always have the power to overrule the unelected ones, but any future endeavours related to these parties would become difficult once you force matters.

The CIA, FBI, DoJ and FDA don't get a complete reshuffle every four years. The figureheads and even organisational top can get replaced, but there are many layers of middle management below them that have cemented their ways in difficult to change processes, workflows and office culture.

The system has its advantages, notably that the country doesn't collapse after giving a complete lunatic the reigns for four years, but also a great many disadvantages, notably elected officials being worked against in their quest for improvement and change. This effect can be increased or decreased, but it won't ever go away and denying that there is more to politics than elites at the top is just nonsensical in my opinion.
Do you want Daleks? Because this is how you get Daleks
I think the Ford/GM thing of using the brake lights also as the turn signal is far more dangerous -- when the brakes are on, a turn signal just turns the single light off. In traffic stopping quickly, and you can only see one light, you have a fraction of a second to determine if the car is stopping or changing lanes.

I see this in traffic all the time, and nearly been hit by cars that look like they are braking but actually changing lanes. Why are separate light colors not mandated?
> Versions of software can have different licenses, and the license for each version is the license that the repo was under when that version was committed.

Not particularly wrong, just adding: There can even be additional licensing terms that aren't documented in the git history so they wouldn't be visible there.

And there is another sticky detail:

So if the original copy would have violated any of the licensing terms of the revision/release being copied (e.g. by removing copyright/authoring information), any more of these copies may become tainted if that resulted in a broken license chain. At this stage it is already regardless which licensing is announced in the new repository (and at which commit).

This poses some problems on very public systems like Github as it may not be directly visible any longer.

One way to deal with it is to block the violating user on Github. It's not perfect but can help with bookkeeping.

And in general you normally should just do Github forks to file pull requests, not to actually fork projects. Not saying that you can't - you can perfectly - but more on the level of day to day operations. For a full fork, you should have actual reasons. Otherwise its ruining the benefits of copying code.
Not sure why the burden of proof is on me to demonstrate that they are bunk. Seems like the burden of proof is on anyone who asserts they exist in the first place, since "love languages" are not an objective thing.
Perhaps this is a quibbling point but the Great Oxidation Event happened more than 2 billion years ago, long before plants evolved. Most atmospheric oxygen was "created" by cyanobacteria. In fact, plants - along with all other multicellular organisms - were one of the beneficiaries of the GOE as they would not have been able to evolve without it.

I think the author is more accurately simulating how his brain will feel when he's flying down the road, tracking the trajectories of the very fast metal boxes surrounding him, and suddenly encounters a non-standard ambiguous signal. Turn signal decoding should be instant and unconscious, and this mini signal disrupts that. If anything I think he's understating the risks.
I have a side project that I haven't updated in years. I haven't needed to because Windows is fantastic at backwards compatibility.

Also the website automatically handles payments and sending license keys.

The only work I do is when PayPal integration breaks because they make some minor change on their end.

Unfortunately, Windows 11 removed the IDeskBand interface I rely on so I might actually have to do some work.

ISOs. Bio-digital jazz, man.

The universe certainly contains machines that keep learning (lifeforms, and more broadly life itself) as part of itself, but I wonder how the stronger claim can be made, especially since there are parts of the universe being doomed to never interact with any other part as the universe expands and their local neighborhood is pushed beyond reach of particles travelling at c.

You could do much worse, given monkeys throwing darts outperform average investors.

Not trusting science by default is what makes science have to be trustworthy. Scientists don't "trust" scientists. That's why every paper goes through rigorous questioning before being published-and even then lots of bullshit results still get published. If anything we need to trust science less.

Also, do you trust politicians even when they have over 40 years of experience?

Some of them were straight up stolen, but (my understanding) is that most artifacts are just sold by locals who don't really understand or appreciate the value.

So a lot of what the Egyptian government is trying to do is educate their own people on the importance and value of artifacts and to not just sell them to tourists for a song and dance.

I'm notionally on-grid, but DTE's reliability this summer has been so poor, I've had a lot of time on generator and battery to contemplate such things.

Sooooo, this is is one reason I'm trying to move all the crap I host on my Synology, to a Ras Pi with an SSD, so I can shut down the spinning-rust most of the time. If I don't need to bother with a BackUPS because everything I care about runs off an 18650 for several hours, that means I can keep sleeping when the generator runs out of fuel and just restart it whenever my lazy bones want to roll out of bed.

Perhaps in the short term, but I don't think it would be beneficial long term. If humans are wiped out, which species would save or relocate planet earth's biosphere from the coming destruction by the sun going red giant in a few billion years? Humans can potentially preserve the biosphere through either stellar husbandry/engineering or travelling to the stars (or both). At a certain point, the solar radiation may get so intense as to boil the ocean and destroy the atmosphere. Then it is predicted to envelop earth which would seal the deal for any potential subterranean life.

Rooftop solar, nuclear, coal, oil, hydro - literally NONE of this matters.

The whole thing about proof-of-work is that it serves as a way to prove that a particular miner spent some amount of money (in the form of energy costs) validating a transaction. As the value of Bitcoin increases, then, it means there is more incentive to throw energy at the problem, because the reward you get for mining (or, for that matter, for a chain attack) is worth more.

There is no way to get out of the proof-of-work problem by deploying cheaper or more abundant forms of energy, because, again by design, it just means that any miner would need to use more of that cheaper form of energy to validate a transaction.
Obviously this would be consensual, keyword legitimate. I don't know why you can't imagine someone agreeing to support someone else with some CPU/GPU in off time.
Unix network programming. Stevens brought sockets to the masses and helped launch the internet as we know it.
The real reason they were so pissed off at Assange seems to be in two parts:
1) The Chelsea Manning State Department cables. The video was all the hype, but just dig through the 'SECRET' cables on Iraq, Saudi Arabia, etc. Zero interest in 'human rights and democracy', lots of interests in oilfields, pipelines, military sales contracts, etc.

2) Those Vault7 CIA leaks are incredibly embarrassing, it's like so closet criminal organization - and with a program to run cyberwarfare attacks using Russian/Chinese signatures in the code to hide atttribution? That's kind of insanely deceptive and criminal I think.

All told, those revelations make the State Dept. and the CIA look more like some kind of organized white-collar mafia outfit in the service of Wall Street shareholders than anything else. That kind of raw exposure makes the corrupt insiders in the US government very sad.

I'd guess they've got a lot more to hide, and are most worried about further eruptions of embarrassment.

In the end, what do you get from that commitment? Why did you make it in the first place, if not for a selfish reason? What is the place of “honor”, if it is not a code that it makes you happy to live by?

People’s terminal preferences are the root of who they are. There is no goal that exists beyond one’s terminal preferences. You can prefer to obey some moral distinction, but you prefer it because that increases your happiness/life satisfaction (or at least, you have absorbed enough second-hand examples that you believe it will increase your happiness/life satisfaction.) If it didn’t, why would your brain ever bother to spit out a “you should do it” answer?

> My desires are often fleeting and dishonorable...selfish and wanton.

I think you’re confusing societal mores that you’ve chosen to adhere to (e.g. monogamy) with some sort of objective moral function that all humans will somehow be judged by regardless of whether anyone is doing the judging. If you’re sleeping around (the thing I’m assuming you’re talking about here) but you’re in a polyamorous relationship, with a partner who experiences compersion rather than jealousy when people outside of your relationship do things to make you happy — is that act still “dishonorable” or “wanton” of you? What would those words mean, for that to be true? If everyone important to you wants you to enjoy yourself, and you do enjoy yourself, then who is saying no?

And, given that, if your marriage partner does say no to something that would make you happy, how is that anything other than an incompatibility between you; something that could have been avoided by ensuring compatibility before commitment?

IMHO, you are rationalizing staying in a relationship with a partner whose preferences do overlap with yours enough for life with them to be generally pleasant; but where in some ways their preferences are extremely incompatible with your own. But, because you are embedded in a society mostly consisting of potential partners who also have those same extremely-incompatible preferences to your own, it doesn’t feel like you’d actually have any luck finding a partner whose preferences cohere more closely to your own. You satisficed, and now are attempting to construct a philosophy that makes satisficing seem optimal, so that you can have one fewer regret.

People should really spend more time looking outside their own culture for partners. It can turn out that what is “dishonorable” or “wanton” to you, is just regular respectable behavior in another culture in another part of the world. The objectivity of social mores is an illusion created by cultural isolation.

(FYI: this is just the standard University “introduction to meta-ethics” stuff, just applied to romantic social mores in particular.)

This is JavaScript package-culture at work.

Many packages attempt to be those “as seen on Tv” gadgets which fix weirdly specific issues in a functionally-fixed way. Single-function goods are frequently given cutesy branding names in hopes of making their way into your home/package.json. Now we even have the product-level copycats.

Computer code is not an appliance, and no one cares how many people play with your little gadget.
A few years ago, I made an extremely simple chat bot for Telegram that gave artists access to Spotify For Artists' API. I've used a simple Lambda and that's it.

This. I wrestled with the same topic a couple years ago. Not only which to use, but once you choose a “common” one (say OpenGL), then actually getting pixels in a window is still different across platforms (hence things like SDL and GLFW).

For me I settled on: 1) Learn WebGL in the browser. It’s a pretty good subset of OpenGL [ES] and an easy environment to experiment in. Then 2) learn a more “native” approach with good tooling support, such as Direct3D 11. (I wouldn’t get into D3D12 or Vulkan until you learn the basics pretty well).

As others have mentioned, while the landscape is confusing, the concepts across them are pretty similar once you get a foothold.

I think another aspect is simply vanity. It makes some feel special when you have "inside information", and you're "not a sheep" (TM), when in reality, all you do, is run after some other leader.
