I can see the frustration coming from Lisp, but it's just business as usual in compiled, strongly typed system languages. Languages like Rust and C++ add insult to injury by having rather long compile times.

It's definitely a different culture but for someone like me who's on the other side of the fence it's not a big deal at all. I lean heavily onto the type checking to make sure that my code is correct and find myself running code relatively infrequently because of that. I can literally code for hours without running any code, just running "cargo check" here and there to check my syntax and typing.

If I really want to evaluate a snippet to make sure that it does what I want I generally just add a #[test] function wherever I'm currently coding. This way I have access to the full environment (dependencies etc...) and I can run it on its own with "cargo test $the_test". And I may get a bonus unit test out of it. So basically TDD without the religion surrounding it.
Seems the keys have already been revoked. Doesn't mean it can't leak again, but doesn't seem to be a problem with a leaked key at the moment.

Also like this and second the other comments about different source code options.

I would also like to suggest that the side-by-side panes scroll together too, so that the comparison is easier to track.
> it doesn't matter what you value if you can't find it

Sure does, you just don't marry if you don't find anyone you want to marry. It is that simple.

For example, we can see that even in Sweden women who earn less are more likely to marry and men who earn more are more likely to marry. Women who earn a lot are less likely to find a partner they like as you say.
I'm curious as to why the assumption is that the keys were compromised rather than that ability to submit false patient data to be signed in the real system? Can anyone who looked at the fake certificates comment on whether anything about format or metadata indicates they weren't from the normal system?
Not now, but with global warming and a decade?

Nice! Suggestions:

-- make the individual fonts compete more times in randomized comparisons (one font should not win over a single other)

-- option to overlap the renderings in a canvas with bitmap difference (to highlight the differences in glyphs)

-- option to choose the text to be rendered, with syntax highlighting

-- upload fonts for further comparison (maybe through @font-face src URLs); edit the list of comparisons

Bitcoin isn't a currency, it doesn't function as such. It can only support at most a few dozen transactions per second.

> Experience is quite different for big game developers that have their own engines and can't offload complexity to another layer of abstraction, supporting a lot of hardware/software combinations on Linux for them is quite hard.

Oh but they can offload that complexity to e.g. SDL [0]

As for why games like Cyberpunk 2077 are not on Linux, we can only speculate. Remember however that for a profit-focused publisher/developer the Linux port not only has to be profitable to make sense, it has to be more profitable than other things they could spend their time on.

Some of the bloat is institutional, or maybe we should say, "civilisational"? Supporting TLS, modern hardware, media codecs, and so on - this puts a lower bound on the size of a "full" desktop OS, before you even consider a web browser.

> Tesla’s stock price is confusing if you compare them to a car company. But they are not just a car company.

Tesla's stock price is confusing because it cannot be explained, let alone justified, by any market analysis, results, or market price calculation. It's purely willingness to pay driven by meme stock speculation.

> They are also a car manufacturing supply chain, having brought much of their component production in house.

This assertion makes absolutely no sense given that Tesla's market value is currently greater than Volkswagen's market value, and by no means is Tesla even comparable with Volkswagen in terms of any of the criteria you've brought up.
At least in UK the app will generate a new certificate on the fly.

Apparently the leaked keys have already been blacklisted. So all certificates signed with the leaked keys will need to be reissued. FWIW, it wasn't the Italian key that was leaked.
Downvotes because governments regularly hold secrets for years, decades, sometimes centuries.

I can share the sentiment that PSF and the core team has become something like “old boys club”, and no, new core developers didn’t change this ambience you get when you read their forums/mailing lists and twitters (better avoid twitters though).

I don’t have anything about a community being an old boys’ club (would be nice to be in one some day, I reckon it’s what older people’s equivalent of a “safe space” is), it’s that they try hard to pretend they are something else that irks me.

But for the life of me I couldn’t find “python” and “minibosses” mentioned in the same document on the internet, except for an integration testing package and a computer game. So I think the story alluded to is bogus.

There’s a minuscule likelihood of it all being a twitter drama with key characters then nuking their tweets or deleting their accounts, but if it was of any significance some blog would have echoed it.
> Government fiat is and always will be a source of controlling the population and limiting their ability to build wealth.

Quite the opposite: fiat is what allows wealth to be built.

Under (e.g.) the Gold Standard, those who owned the gold controlled the wealth as the amount of gold was fixed and finite. If you wanted to expand the economy and needed "money" to do so, you had to literally dig up more gold. The finite amount was a limit on how economic activity could happen. And those in control of the gold could dictate terms (e.g., interest rates on loans) on its use.

And while Bitcoin can perhaps be sliced more finely (satoshis) than gold (ounces/grams), the principal is the same: there's a finite amount.

Meanwhile, in a credit-based fiat currency system, any bank can create money on demand by issuing loans. Need more liquidity to help an economy (keep) grow(ing)? Just encourage more loans.
Not a bookshop, but I found the design of Stockholm's public library to be excellent too[1]. It was designed by the Swedish architect, Gunnar Asplund.

The same gentleman was also one of the architects of the stunning woodland cemetery, Skogskyrkogården[2], located just outside of Stockholm. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site, that beautifully blends nature and landscape to create a tranquil atmosphere. Absolutely worth visiting if you're Stockholm.

The article writes:

> Since everyone was using HTTP, and since everyone would keep using HTTP at least as a transport layer because of all the proxying and caching support, the simplest possible thing to do was just rely on HTTP’s existing semantics. So that’s what they did. They could have called their approach Fuck It, Overload HTTP (FIOH), and that would have been an accurate name

First of all, I fully agree with this article. I lived through this transition and my own reasoning is well as that of basically everyone I talked to was really just that the existing infrastructure was overly complicated, while "just passed some JSON over HTTP" was easy.

I do, however, want to disagree with one point quoted above. The proxying and caching support were not the reasons why FIOH was based on HTTP. The reason was firewalls. At first, almost all of the things I built and almost all of the RESTful APIs I saw published, were really just some form of remote procedure call. Caching was supported in theory but hardly ever used in practice.

However, it was policy pretty much everywhere to have firewalls that blocked traffic to most ports other than 80 and 443. The more advanced firewalls also verify that traffic over those ports was actually HTTP traffic. So it wasn't possible to build any kind of an API that wasn't based on HTTP -- it would have been impossible to deploy and use without getting permission from the firewall and security teams on both the client and server and of the connection.
Most US cities seem to just be ultra short term, under resourced, clones of each other. I understand why, free movement of people, capitalism, unengaged electorates and short-termism are facts in western (english speaking) society.

Meanwhile anywhere with a bit more soul, from NYC to San Fran, from Austin to Denver see huge demand.

I doubt his plans will work because building cities is hard. But at least whatever results won't just be another underfunded, grid pattern of ultra low cost ghettos specializing in nothing but cutting taxes for the next quarter...

I'm an "infrastructure guy" that has just spent the better part of the last 8 hours of my working day talking to a developer trying to stand up some microservices, or whatever the kids are calling it these days.

Every few minutes, they started a sentence with "I just want to...", which I now mentally translate to "... ignore everything like security, reliability, or anything else that doesn't get me a checkbox tick for my assigned task."

Their "REST" API? It uses a HTTP GET to post a response, using an intermediate -- unauthenticated -- storage blob to stage the data.

"It worked in dev" came the reply to my probing questions.

Look, back in the "horrible old days of WS-*", when I still used to wear a developer hat, I could crack open Visual Studio in the morning and simply add a web service dependency to my project. In a matter of milliseconds -- seconds at worst -- it would automatically cough up a C# client for whatever it is that I wanted to talk to, and I could immediately start coding some actual business logic.

Today I watched a grown man type in the boilerplate code that the machine used to generate for me.

Apparently, this is better because it is "simple".

So simple that a programmer using HTTP GET for posting a reply can understand it.
well, print it again then.
Stock prices are more about growth potential than existing size. Tesla is valued more than Volkswagen because it is expected to be bigger in the future (or VW is expected to be smaller in the future, or a mix of both). We’ve been through this before with tech stocks, and the enthusiasm for future growth has shown to be often correct, and also often incorrect. Playing the market is a bit crazy like that.

I used to do something along this line. If I saw a bot then I would use ACL's in haproxy to serve up some static pages from memory that contained strings their request was looking for. This of course attracted more bots. It didn't cost me anything aside from making my logs a bit more noisy, so I disabled logging for the bots. Then I found a funny side effect of shodan showing my nodes being vulnerable to many things. That was a blemish so I disabled the ACL's. In hind-sight and knowing how bot farms work it wasn't really wasting anyone's time or resources but was a fun little learning exercise.
They didn’t suggest that at all.

Yeah, I currently rent in one of those modern private estates or "resorts" even as they are marketed in London. Apartment leaseholders are being held hostage by the landowner, in some cases paying more in service charge than mortgage. They are struggling to sell, because they would have to find bigger idiots than themselves and those are getting hard to come by. Never in my life would I agree to that.
