The standard is ECMA-48; for example this 1991 version[1] lists all the SGR codes to colour stuff (page 61), the cursor movement codes, etc. The 1991 is just the first version that came up, I believe some of this goes back to the late 70s.

Terminfo goes back to the early 80s, during the time of the Great Unix Wars when everyone was doing everything different for the fun and sake of it. It contains a lot of cruft. People are mentioning ADM-3A terminals here and that's all very nice, but these are machines from the 70s. No one is using them, except some people for the fun/historical value. Do people write software to be compatible with Bell Labs Unix from 1976 or 1BSD that Bill Joy was working on? Of course not.

AFAIK there are very few modern terminals (or rather, terminal emulators) that don't support that basic set of escape codes. I can't really find any in a quick glance at my system's terminfo database.

For basic operations it's pretty safe to rely on, at least if you care about Unix only (not entirely sure about Windows, I believe it's all different there). Once you go beyond that it gets a bit more iffy.

There are loads of programs that hard-code these things, including very popular once. The issue trackers of these projects are not getting filled with people reporting garbled output.

If Dee obtained the mirror around 1580, it had only been 60 years since the Spanish dissolved the Aztec Empire, and it's entirely possible that the Nahuas continued to make obsidian mirrors for some time after that (although the Spanish would have recognized it as a non-Christian practice to be stamped out, surely). To him, it could have been approximately as ancient as a John F. Kennedy campaign button is to us.

This isn't a graphical problem. All that's required is storing arrays of validation data and a diff tool to check for mismatches. Visualizing the results is useful for failure analysis but not a core requirement. That can readily be done with free tools like matplotlib. We live in that world today.

I think you're putting the miners on the wrong side of the balance sheet there. The point of the plan is for miners to come in and build their own power plants that usually support only the mining operation. Then in times of need, the miners are compelled to sell the energy being generated to the grid. But the variable/flat pricing structure is on the consumer side. Since the mining operations will be on both the supplier and consumer sides for energy that they produce, they aren't subject to flat/variable pricing.
John Dee is also the original 007 for those who have James Bond on the brain (the movie was underwhelming imho). One of the more recent developments was of a painting of him in her court, when scanned it was revealed there had been a circle of skulls around him in the painting that had been painted over.

Theres all kinds of interesting factoids about him. He started collecting books and at the time had what was probably one of the largest personal libraries in existence, and the list goes on.

Misleading can have an implied motive. I said that the chyron was clumsy in my first comment, so I agree it is bad and should have been clearer. However we have nothing to suggest that that was purposeful with an intent to mislead. It can just be someone making a careless mistake.

Also now that you recognize the video's message is clearer than the single screenshot, I would ask you to consider why you have primarily seen the screenshot. Is that maybe because the people sharing it are doing it based on their own biases and motives rather than the merit of the report itself?
It wasn't the pricing model - when I went to the website originally all the pricing levels were the same - it looked like a template that hadn't been updated. I have no issue with charging for value.
Looks like the mobile version of the pricing page hides the rest of the table (sorry about that). Extra execution time will be $0.003/minute and billed by the millisecond. There are no request charges or data transfer charges in our model, which we hope will simplify billing for the average users. For users that need more capacity and execution time, we will customize pricing for them.

> You're not wrong, but voting for politicians that think/thought that climate change is a Chinese conspiracy is hardly an option IMHO

That's not what the OP was suggesting or implying. His was a statement about the ineffectiveness of political leadership so far and the irrational belief that simply voting means you've already done your civic duty. Yet, reliably, any comment about politics in the US instantly becomes about picking a side.

> Again, not wrong, but just because people are hypocrites doesn't mean that they're wrong:

It does mean that they're wrong. Someone who's a hypocrite will spend more time shuffling about blame and responsibility than addressing the problem at hand.

This approach is objectively wrong if your goal is to solve the problem.

I work with fees software at a financial company. It's boring because most of the work is about copying data from legacy systems to new systems. The changes are usually low impact and dealing with missed edge cases. Collecting a fee is not an interesting task, at least not the way this work is defined.

It's frustrating because the system is basically a distributed monolith and is constantly breaking or needing upgrades. It's also frustrating because I'm expected to be full stack in multiple stacks and bounce around too much to be an expert in any one thing (no upward mobility). Quite often our tools are broken or I'm fixing someone else's mistakes. It's disappointing to be in a zero growth environment when my prior roles were more meaningful and gave me an opportunity to perform above my current level.

Over half our team left, so I was the most experienced as a midlevel with a junior and contractor under me. You know, in just to validate the human-factor comment :)

> ugly architecture

An interesting one to bring up. There is a cultural dimension, but also the fact the modern architecture is much less labor intensive even though it will break down.

Generally I like such a response to labor shortages, but clearly we've gone wrong. Perhaps we just need to value key buildings more, based on a long lifespan, and just admit they will be crawling with craftsman to a large degree?

Or, we can get more serious about improving construction productivity to make it less 0-sum. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khrushchyovka are pretty ugly, but might nonetheless have a better "beauty * efficiency" score than much more prestigious modern architecture?

I am curious of what the VPS options would look like pricewise, and how would a DIY approach entail.

Hey tedmiston, I think you make incredibly good points, and as the GM of this product, I appreciate your candor and scrutiny. We don't expect Serverless Cloud to be a silver bullet, lots of team out there need more control and flexibility.

No - those laws do not apply in Hollywood.

This is in part because with a CBA (union agreement) the union can bargain away rights you might otherwise have under law.

This can also be because wage orders (ie #12) modify rules or provide for exceptions.

And then even if on a union set, some things will be ignored (despite all the safety talk from the unions some trades find some of the safety practices a bit overboard or impractical -> looking at you fall prevention standards etc) especially for old timers who started before some of the safety rules came in (juicers / grips etc).

So union lunch break rules etc control - but can be ignored, and enforcement would be through a grievance usually vs a court case in some cases etc.

Why do people keep saying this? I don't know any scientists who make such claims.

When politicians are trying to push an agenda one way or the other, they like to erect a glamour around the science making it appear settled. But then if you ask the scientists themselves, the answer is always "it's complicated" and "there is more work to do on this topic."

The C64 bank switching is trivial - the 6510 has a few IO pins mapped to address $1, and a few of them are used for the bank switching.

The bigger problem is that all the RAM is really used for "IO" (in theory anyway) on the C64, as the VICII can remap the character generator (font) location, where it pulls sprites from, and where the screen content is stored.

So a static memory map is insufficient if you want it to just plug into the CPU socket and work.

They have to abide by them, which is what I can't understand here. I'm in California and the laws are strict, it's easy to sue, and the companies involved (e.g. Disney) are giant. So I just can't see them getting away with violating labor laws. I assume they are looking for protection above and beyond what the law requires? I can't find the actual demands anywhere. The website and links are all basically propaganda links (no section that says "this is what we are asking for").
"they're lying to you ... rhetoric"

I think it depends on the definition of rhetoric you are using, and how you've framed the argument. Not everyone who said "they're lying to you" also said "they're going to take everything from you"

I think the point of this article is that official health channels _were_ being dishonest - through their use of rhetoric, lying by omission, etc.

Saying official health channels were dishonest during COVID doesn't fit the common definition of "rhetoric."

Official health channels were playing a trolley game and didn't trust the public to be "in on the game." Without knowing the game, you don't know which set of tracks you are standing on. If you know a trolley is coming, and the official channels have demonstrated they are being dishonest, you should not trust them when they tell you "switch to this track, we promise we aren't sending any trolleys down it." At best, you are the lucky group being put on the life boats. At worse, you are the smaller of two statistics.

Some of the trolley games I saw early on, where I personally lost trust in these channels:

---

What they said: this isn't a pandemic.

The game: this is a pandemic, but we don't want to cause a rush on supplies.

If you weren't buying supplies in preparation for the imminent lockdown, you were standing on the wrong set of tracks and the official health channels lied to you.

---

What they said: the public doesn't need masks for this pandemic

The game: we need to make sure hospitals have masks

Masks worked to reduce the spread of COVID under specific circumstances. You should have been wearing one during the early days of the hockystick. If you didn't go out and buy a few early on, you were standing on the wrong set of tracks and the official health channels lied to you.

---

Trust is earned, not given. You don't earn my trust by sending trolleys barreling down the tracks at my friends and family.

I have also worked on managing bug bounties and that is why you keep lines of communication open with the researchers. Not to throw stones in glass houses, but there are a number of ways Apple could improve on their approach to how they do their bug bounty program.

You tell a cab driver to take you to Morton's Meats and instead they take you to Shelly's Steaks (who pays them a kickback each time they do this), and then charge you for that detour to earn their kickback when you demand they take you to Morton's like you asked in the first place.

What is considered "adequate supervision" is of course debatable. Lithuania has made many complaints regarding it's safety concerns of the newly opened Belarusian power plant to the relevant international authorities - which have all so far fallen on deaf ears.

Lithuania had its own nuclear power plant, which is currently being decommission, so it's not that they are just playing the NIMBY card without knowing what they are talking about.

I certainly wasn't suggesting that we should stop measuring instantaneous CPI / inflation. We should -- it's the only way that the bigger macro trend becomes visible over time.

My entire comment was: Don't miss the forest for the trees. It's the same as driving a car: Instantaneous velocity matters, but so do averages. The economy operates at timescales that are both micro (e.g. high-frequency trading) and macro (e.g. 5-year & 10-year plans).

Inflation has an instantaneous measurement aspect (i.e. CPI) and a longer-trend macro component. Only time will tell if today's inflation is transitory (as the Fed would like us to believe) or part of a bigger shift. But it's impossible to suss out the bigger underlying trend right now, given that we're in the middle of a giant, covid-induced supply-chain bullwhip:
