Clean, blanket statement, what a good argument to make!
based on what metrics exactly?
20 years ago I built my own SSG. There weren't as many back then. :) I even built my own RSS2 generator - https://pypi.org/project/PyRSS2Gen/ .

It was great when I started. I did some teaching back then and put my lectures in its own section, which I could re-build and serve to the local network for my students.

I no longer know how it works. I don't care to maintain it. It needs big changes to handle something like embedding a Jupyter notebook. And it depends on Python 2.6(!).

With hundreds of pages, and its own custom URL layout that I don't want to break, I dread migrating to a modern system.
Thank you for sharing your project. It looks great, and is inspiring to see.

I wanted to let you know about a minor typo (I think) on this page:

https://www.organized.ly/features

Something about the following sentence (near the top) seems off to me, perhaps a verb tense mismatch?

>Organizedly allows you to quickly capture information and always finding it easily.
Protests in the late 90s brought visibility to issues, AND had a clear ask to the public.

Today people protest to just being visibility. But they have no ask or strategy on how to resolve the underlying issue.

The lack of a clear ask on policy change is likely why many recent protests haven’t accomplished meaningful policy change.

I do not know if where you host your website, but if you have to upload it to a hosting provider, it is nice to have an upload folder that contains only the files that have changed (or regenerate the files that have changed).
For my personal website, in plain HTML, I have a syntax/link check program that places the new files in an ftp folder.
For another website that is generated with javascript en node.js, I use a script to copy the generated files to a certain folder if they have changed.
Forgotten reference? But it would be a good thing since it incentivises using hydro mainly as variable power to support solar/wind and not as base power.

I appreciate your point. Upon reading my post, I should have limited the term wannabe to Bezos in regards to building a space company. I should never have faulted hard working engineers making a serious effort to accomplish something noble. The fault, as always, is most likely with management.

However, I do not agree with your definition of wannabe. You can seriously try to do something and still be a wannabe. Bezos has seriously tried to do this, but I don't think he can cope with the notion that while he is enormously successful (by many metrics) at Amazon, he may not be the right person to lead a space company.

Webster's definition of wannabe
1 : a person who wants or aspires to be someone or something else or who tries to look or act like someone else
2 : something (such as a company, city, or product) intended to rival another of its kind that has been successful
None of us are thinking of any of this before the brokers already have; this work has been going on for many, many years. You can resell vulnerabilities, but the contract terms you get from brokers are tranched, and they stop paying when the vulnerability is burned. Your incentive not to spread your bug around is that you you're cutting your nose off to spite your face, not to mention that you're probably making the terms you'll get for future bugs worse.
CS:GO can already do this. You can start a server with VAC (Valve Anti Cheat) disabled.
Hmm that's a good idea, provide a view of generic system and the app itself..
All of those things are actually more likely to cause new bugs than feature development, not less.
> makes it sound like one arbitrary practice extirpating another.

Yes, because that's exactly what it was. If anything they could stand to emphasise the hypocrisy a bit more, though I don't think that was particularly relevant to their actual point.
Glad to see the FTC doing something. Sometimes I think the government itself gets too political so it's nice to hear about the government just providing services and protecting consumers.
What about SEO? That s fake with equal business value.
Having an email from the company confirming that they know about the bug probably erases its market value.
I think a big part of the problem is that manufacturers and big stores do a thing where Best Buy gets model XAB234b, Costco gets model XAB234c, and Home Depot gets model XAB234h. They're almost identical in specs and features. This mattress has 2" of foam while one has 1.5" and another 2.5". Or one dishwasher has the controls on the top while the others have it on the front but one has a latch with a bar handle and one has a latch without a bar handle.

They're all "different" so they can't be price-compared and the models don't match exactly the model that Consumer Reports reviews.
Good. Now also fine game companies releasing broken products. Fine any company selling products with "warranty void if removed" stickers. Mass shut down fake sale websites that do not sell the product imaged. I want to see the ftc breaking down doors and deleting entire companies off the face of the earth for their illigal practices. I can dream of course.
You're probably doing the wrong kind of "extra", which will just end in you being the only person who can do $CERTAIN_TASK, so you're always the person assigned to do $CERTAIN_TASK and therefore so essential that you can never be promoted to do something else.

> So nothing ever can be celebrated, since it leaves out the 5 million layers of others that precipitated any event

Is it reasonable to ignore 5 million problems and pretend they don't matter if the people responsible for all those problems manage to put together a PR stunt that's praise-worthy?

I guess the concept of bread and circus isn't new, but it tends to be more subtle than this.
> And yet, you’ve accomplished nothing.

Citation needed. Over what timeframe? In what sector? The US has accomplished a lot and nothing depending how you frame it.

> Go and call your congresspeople. They’ll listen to you over the sound of money that is pouring their way to look the other way.

I (and many others) have actually had great success organizing & calling my federal reps. Even the Republican ones! (Although I have the most success with Democrats)

Don’t generalize the politics of a country you’ve only read about. It isn’t fair to call out Anti-China rhetoric just for you to spin the same top.
ML expert here. Good points above especially training vs inference.

To be honest, yes it is possible. Most models I made could run on a mobile device, mostly they would not because they were written in python and since it is possible/cheap, I would not care too much about RAM and efficiency for a training job.

I think the dataset size is overrated by things like Kaggle or news about Deep learning models for image recognition.
Bigger datasets are better, but if your data quality is good few hundred of rows (like a csv file) can be enough for many applications!

Most data challenges are not image recognition or NLP either, so you could do them on smaller devices. I think the main issues would be 'support' tho. Small devices do not run python (or R/Julia) so you need to port your inference code to some binary (like webassembly) or rewrite in C/C++. Inference code is much smaller than training/ experimenting code fortunately.
Yes, optics matter and this was one of the worst among them.

But you didn't have to go all the way back in history though. In my opinion, CNN's trope of succession is largely forgotten today in this specific journalism-is-dead context but unless "hackers" have been living under a rock for the past few years, pointing this out is far more important than continuing to cherrypick out the headlines. Remember when HN was all about punk/hackers culture from two decades ago? Times have certainly changed.

I have seen more humanity in people than I would normally expose myself to but more about those caught in the crossfire. Two examples I can think of was the story of a Seattle security guard snatching away a rifle from a group of rioters whom freshly pillaged a police car and, an urban explorer vlogging his departure from Seattle as a result from the protests.

I just ran the pdb through dia2dump, and it seems that their public pdb doesn't keep this information, so one could only estimate.

Edit: It does however tell you still from which exact .obj an offset is, info the author didn't seem to have used since they created their own filenames. (Edit 2:, at least partially, some original filenames are there, but also custom ones)

Perhaps, but likewise the home itself is likely to be much cheaper and so a smaller loan is needed, if any.
You can download it from the microsoft symbol servers (i.e. via IDA). Then it's %TMP%\ida somewhere.

No idea how else you'd acquire it, Visual Studio would probably also download it if you get pinball.exe to crash and debug it.
So did the FDA, they issued an EUA. They did revoke it though. So did coronavirus scientists over a decade ago, because it worked in cell culture.
> Not sure how the time period where we had guns and ships good enough to cross the great seas can be seen as super old, great civilizations had already existed thousands of years at that point.

I agree with the core of your post, but it should be noted that the great seas had been crossed for thousands of years at this time by Polynesian navigators (over the Pacific, not Atlantic), and had also been previously crossed by Vikings a few hundred years before.
2.5 years or 5 semesters at a community college costing 0-10k is the fastest route from scratch and the one I took. If someone already has a bachelor's (4 year degree) they can take an accelerated nursing bachelor's program for 30-60k which can take as little as 12 months. 1 year of work experience post graduation is the minimum to travel.

EU salaries seem to generally be lower than those in the US, but with healthcare the difference is extreme with Switzerland being the only exception I'm personally aware of.
My approach to static site generation these days is to use Parcel Bundler. (Note that V2 has come out, but most of my experience with V1, so YMMV.)

It’s a little bit of a strange tool, but you can start by pointing it at an HTML file, and it will automatically build it, bundling and minifying any dependent resources and giving them a hashed filename for better caching.

If you want to do multiple pages, it’s simple; you can just link them. Parcel Bundler will pull the links and bundle them just like the first page, recursively. When it generates linked pages, it won’t make a hashed filename, so your directory structure will be left in-tact. If you want nice subdir pages, you can put index.html files into subdirectories, and voila. And as a bonus, any resources you depend on from two different pages will share the same bundled resource, as you would probably hope.

But HTML can get repetitive, so you probably want templating of some sort. For that, I tend to rely on Pug templates. They support blocks and template inheritance, so now you can do more advanced stuff without having to repeat yourself constantly.

Finally, if you wanted to use TypeScript or SCSS, you just, can. They will be compiled and bundled to JS and CSS transparently, exactly like you would probably hope.

And then maybe you want to do something more interesting than what it can do out of the box. Like for example, maybe you want to render Markdown files into a template (obviously relevant to this use case.) In that case, you can extend Parcel. My favorite shameless plug is a documentation site I have set up for a reverse engineering project which uses Parcel to render Markdown and Kaitai Struct files into templates which are interlinked with each-other. The resulting site is fully static and the build process is relatively quick. I don’t know of any cleaner way to do something like this!

https://packets.pangdox.com/

The biggest downside of Parcel is that I did, in fact, need a custom plugin to render Markdown files directly into templates. Maybe there’s a simpler way or a plugin on NPM that serves this relatively common use case. But I just love having the page graph intertwined with the asset graph like this; it’s super powerful for building fully static websites. The only thing it feels weak for is if you want to generate pages from data somehow; Parcel is pretty tethered to pages being an asset, so as far as I know you can’t simply synthesize them. Still, despite this and other quirks, I really do enjoy the experience.

I've written my own static site generators before, too, and with all static site generators pretty much, I’ve felt unsatisfied with how they interacted with bundlers and compilers.

I had always heard the prompt for Vista Capable was some specific Intel integrated-graphics chipset (915G? 845G?) which was flooding the market, but would never be Aero capable. Nobody wanted to write down the inventory, so they gave us a stupid badge.

On the other hand, Vista did provide a mass market platform that could be a great scapegoat for the 64-bit transition. Everyone needed new drivers anyway.

As I recall, the XP-64 product was basically a painted over Windows Server release that was basically a non-starter.
Addiction is present when endogenous forms of neurotransmitters are downregulated in response to sustained external supply. As such, the receptor regulation systems do not see a 'need' to self regulate and upon cessation of said 'sustained external supply' psychosomatic factors drive motivation (VTA theory). Having said that, there are chemically mediated addictions and psychosomatic addictions (the two are not mutually exclusive).
> Or you know, it could be that he has invested $10 billion into building Blue Origin over 21 years and likes his company and wants to wear the uniform because he's proud of it (even if you think lowly of it).

That makes as much sense as a NFL team owner suiting up with helmet and shoulder pads just because his team is playing.

I guess Bezos is free to dress up as an astronaut whenever he feels like it and gets out of bed, but is that something that happens whenever Blue Origin doesn't summon the media to do a press release?
For warzone, I don't believe that game has any sort of MMR, so the situation is a little different there compared to most other games people stream on twitch. Warzone seems to be especially bad, even when compared with other games in it's genre.

There's also another issue where some people play with devices like Cronus which are borderline cheats and essentially hardware scripts (better/no recoil control, scripted bunny hopping, that sort of thing).

Server-side anticheat catches no cheaters...? What is even the point of developing it lol
It would be very interesting to know what the current rest period and other issue status quo is and what the union wants it changed to.
Yes, I agree with this assessment of this particular bug. As far as this bug goes, from the description, this particular one probably not very valuable to anybody. You have to get an app into the app store and then trick people to install it for not that much information you can exfiltrate. If it was a bug that allowed attackers to exfiltrate contacts and email addresses and such just by having the victim visit a website or open an email, that would be another matter, and still quite valuable even tho it wouldn't be RCE.

But who knows, it still might worth a few bucks to you because you already figure out the delivery. And your relationship to somebody with the skills to find interesting bugs and willingness to sell to you might be even worth more, so you might pay money not just for the bug but for the relationship.
In the 70s and 80s it seemed common for these types of situations to be handled by access roads that ran parallel to the through road. The access road handled all of the individual driveways, was lower speed, and had controlled entrances and exits to the through road. Access roads are still being built but they seem to be much shorter and serve few entities than the designs from the 70s and 80s, which results in more intersections between them and the main through road. My best guess for this design change is that businesses further along the access roads were at a disadvantage as they were less convenient to get to than businesses or properties closer to the entrance point.
I guess if the professors can be trusted to do that, that works well. I'm not implying they can't be trusted by the way, its just that of course without that the whole thing comes tumbling down

Obviously not really anything like Philosophy so perhaps its treated more or less seriously depending on the subject, but I remember my younger brother telling me about a bad professor he had during uni when he was studying film, who would mark students down who didn't agree with her. I guess in film thats annoying, whereas in Philosophy the consequences are far more serious, so stopping that kind of thing is probably treated with more care. These are just guesses by me though
From Wikipedia - Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information. *This may be done on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient"*

The 2nd sentence is the important bit. A lot of people provably want to watch Chapelle as evidenced by his popularity and sales, but the employees demand the show be taken down despite that. You are implying that i believe any selection process at all is censorship which again seems disingenuous or misunderstands what the word is commonly understood to mean.
Unused PTO must be paid out in many states and in states where it is not legally required it is generally still required if the business has historically done it. Beyond that, Southwest pilots are unionized. No sizable union would allow separation without PTO payout.

He probably doesn't know much about it. Otherwise he'd buy a much simpler system akin to the ones studios use to record and mix the records. Given that he doesn't need the mixing console (which can be quite expensive), he could get a SOTA set up for well under $100K, and it'd likely sound much better. That includes acoustic treatments, but not "silver speaker wire". Copper works just fine.
Are there any industrial or commercial products that use MacMillan's organocatalysis in their production? That's what I'd like to know. My memory is that proline catalysis was done at something like 10-20 mol% which is somewhat hard to justify in most industrial processes, though I guess proline is a relatively cheap molecule
Asia, specifically China.

I was in Myanmar a couple of years ago and was shocked to hear people wildly optimistic about their future — their lives had been getting better in significant ways literally month to month at that point. I’m not sure what they would feel now though.

I’m sure there are places in Africa where this is the case as well.

Decision Tables[1] is probably the simplest formal method, i.e. instead of writing imperative nested if and switch/case statements, your provide a declarative solution.

But IMO the most useful formal method in Software Engineering is modeling your code as an FSMs, for example using StateCharts UML notation [2,3].

That way even junior developers can reason about complex realtime systems.

Next close come Algebraic Type Systems, but they're usually not available in mainstream PLs.

Unfortunately Formal Specification/Verification tools like TLA+, Alloy, etc. are less practical for most real life projects.

Incidentally, this is the reason that self custody of wealth (power) that bitcoin enables anonymously is important. In a ww3, the us could simply take out the ccp leadership.

While the trillionaires would continue to be able to execute their tasks under the rules of economics.
I think they discovered that if a library tries to provide "zero config", users quickly end up needing to configure something, or reconfigure something else.

I still don't think that Parcel is right for me given how comfortable I am with Webpack, but I welcome a "simpler config" option. Provide language support, but don't assume I want to use Babel, or PostCSS, or any other build tool.
For each cloud provider spare capacity is portion of their actual capacity so considering anything beyond GCP is not even a thing. Now since most of the spare capacity is being utilized as spot instances there is not that much in reality as many spot workloads are actually cost optimizations and would shift to other types if spot instances are not available.
Hahaha. I don't think it quite works that way. Although, maybe it's because I bought an $25,000 audiophile dishwasher.
It only works for XBox (for a while, before it's broken on each xbox generation) because the hardware security is focused against the owner of the device gaining control.

even stuff like Polands confrontation now with the EU is part of a HEALTHY process and it speaks for the EU that all this is possible... no matter the outcome by the way, as long as indepedenent judges come to a conclusion!

Consumer Reports was (and still is!) so trusted because it is the one publication that lacks the usual conflicts of interest that every other publication has.
