What’s the alternative? Writing everything in house? I think a better solution would be a better dependency installer/resolver that is as secure as possible.
While I appreciate the concept behind this. It's all just slapping duct tape on a sinking ship rather than stepping over to the brand shiny new ship thats right next to us.

Was/Is there an overabundance of IPv4 space that was reserved or allocated in silly ways? Yes. But we've got IPv6 now. It works, we know it works. Does IPv6 require some changes in assumption? Yes, but you start clean with those. You can test really quickly if IPv6 works or not, make sure your IP parsing tools and ETL work... it's not a huge deal once your network supports it (which for most people, it is already).

However, changing assumptions around IPv4 addresses that have been baked into software, hardware and everything in between for the last 40 years? Ouch.

Just look at Cloudflare and 1.0.0.0/24 network. Gigabits of junk traffic, why? Because people had spent a long time assuming that it'd never be used. https://www.zdnet.com/article/1-1-1-1-cloudflares-new-dns-at...

Imagine what that would look like if it was say... 127.127.127.127 or any popular various in the 127/8 space. They'd not only be able to receive huge amounts of what should have been private traffic... a malicious party could also SEND you huge amounts of traffic that your systems, today, assume is perfectly safe and internal only whitelist goodness.

I'd guess if this goes through, a lot of companies, for safety sake, will simply blackhole 127/8 and 0/8 at the edge. Simple and effective... except for all the poor users/services who end up using those IP's and can't get to half the internet.
How long until they come up with their own coin & ICO-- Bloom Institute Tech Coin? It probably won't be as onerous as most ISAs, at that.
It's only been out 11 days though, so 17 to go?

I read ZeroHedge occasionally, and I've never seen it spelled "FED" there. I'm wondering where you find conspiracy theorists who type it like that.
Hm, so what did you dislike about `cargo`?
> But apparently it is stored on Sharepoint? Or is it OneDrive? And Teams is actually Sharepoint behind the scenes anyway?

Yep it is and in fact so is OneDrive itself. So in the end everything is stored in SharePoint. Somewhere. Somehow. SharePoint isn't exactly good at finding stuff however so it's all there somewhere but doubt you'll ever find it back in SharePoint proper.

Totally agree with your post by the way. Office 2000 was also really fast (even on my Pentium 1 laptop!), offered all the features I need even today and didn't constantly update itself changing stuff around or breaking things.

But selling one copy in 21 years is not a good business model and software as a service is what Bill was crazy about even then. So O365 was inevitable.

I think SharePoint is by far the weakest part of the offering though. Even without it being used as a backend for the other services it inevitably ends up a trash bin of old stuff that nobody knows how to find or update. I've even seen the most rigidly managed projects fail miserably.
I wonder if perhaps Netflix's data isn't quite as clean as they hope?

A bot clicking play a million times I'd imagine could easily bring stuff to the top of these charts if the data collection and aggregation wasn't built with that in mind.
This is too funny. I had to investigate and saw that is-even(x) => return !is-odd(x). went to is-odd and found is-odd(x) => return x % 2 === 1. Crazy ass hell and I'm not sure why people would import bundles with junk in them that may be taking up space in the js file...
That would seem to imply that there's little point in learning algebra, let alone anything more advanced than that.
A few years ago during at stay at a villa/condo resort in Maui, grilling dinner, I discovered that my "grill mate" cooking his family's dinner on the adjacent grill, worked for NRO. That was an interesting conversation...

Actually...he didn't "work" for NRO -- he told me that pretty much nobody works for NRO per se, but he worked "in" NRO, employed by some other TLA.
Infosec teams that are competent tend to push back on that.

If there's no infosec and it's just infra and developers and CTO's signing contracts with vendors, even Google, you have an issue.
Funny that when Vancouver was a 'backwater' as the article refers to it was when it was much more affordable and a lot less crowded. In other words much nicer to live in. Now the costs exceed the value of living there, which is diminished due to overcrowding, as well as real estate speculation and crime driven sky-high housing costs, and I know it better than most here.
Thanks. I'm looking, but there's not much out there, especially for mid levels.
I wouldn’t say almost everyone; majority of people are fine but there’s definitely many people who have to deal with flooding and water damage.
Yeah, I loved it for what it was. It's not going on my top movies list or anything.

NPM modules can run arbitrary code at install time using the privileges of the user doing the install. So, whatever malicious actions such a user could take, an NPM module could take.

I mean, that's still better than when America was just white men shitting on everyone else.

Or to put it in less snarky terms, this is what happens when all of the demographics in a society have the ability to express themselves and wield social and political power, rather than just one.
Cost for 3 A list stars is $60m+. Dwayne Johnson is the highest paid actor and Gal Gadot is one of the highest paid actresses. Ryan Reynolds supposedly received $20m to be in the film.

Thanks for sharing. I worked on the UIUC campus for some time right by the greenhouses where they experimented with cultivars of corn and other grasses, always funny to see giant 8 foot tall plants lit with sodium lamps through the winter.

As for APL, I haven't really got past an orientation in the language but it's held a total mystique to me since seeing this video circa 1975 [0] walking through the language with a Selectric teletype acting as a REPL, totally flipped my understanding of computer history, I assumed it was all punchcard programming back in the old black and white days xD (I am born 1990 for reference, trying to catch up with what happened before me)

Well my desk phone is the old office thing I miss the least. And I was actually an accredited Avaya administrator.

But I moved to mobile management as I saw the storm coming. I really don't see the need anymore for intra-office communication and the IM tool is way nicer than the Avaya softphones ever were. Funnily enough their first one was pretty lightweight and great and then they kept rebranding it and making it this bloaty, slow and ugly "One-X" thing.

Also I LOVE the trend of people asking first if I'm available for a call. That's an amazing trend.

I also work on multiple machines too but I'm always signed in on my phone too so if someone rings me on Teams I'll hear my mobile going off.
- If it is possible to come and go via the US, I wonder if a special allowance will be made for that

- I vaguely remember some major city in Alaska was said to have no road to the outside world? Google Maps shows a route from Anchorage to Juneau, but it goes through Canada.
> Funny that when Vancouver was a 'backwater' as the article refers to it was when it was much more affordable and a lot less crowded

Fewer people wanting to live their and those who do being less willing to spend a lot to do so is pretty much the definition of a backwater, so, no, its not really funny.

> Now the costs exceed the value of living there

To you, perhaps, but if that was generally true compared to the time you are comparing it to, fewer people would be paying the price to live there now than then.

For those interested, here's the paper where the IBM Quantum Computer failed to factor 35: https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.100.012305

I found a cite to it claiming this was evidence of success in factoring 35, 'cos they didn't read past the abstract (which could be read as indicating success) to the words in the paper "Eventually, the algorithm fails to factor N = 35."

But yeah, "call me when it factors 35."
That's not saying much anymore - the systems getting more and more unpredictable. The last La Nina was also supposed to worsen the ongoing drought but ended up dumping so much water that the state of emergency (or whatever its called) was withdrawn that March. IIRC it did dry out the San Diego area a bit, where the drought wasn't as bad.
Eh. The last gemfile I looked at didn’t seem much better than my package.json. It’s amazing how many dependencies a legacy Rails app can pull in.

Hmm, I like the cut of your jib!
This is tangential, but I tried watching it with a girlfriend relatively recently and found that I couldn't comfortably watch it with her. The first episode alone has all these not-so-subtle sexist jokes. I used to watch it a lot when I was younger, but I guess I just didn't notice back then. Certainly there are parts of the show that are endearing, but I just wasn't comfortable watching it casually with company and decided to change the show.
Timmy's actually pretty cool. I'd recommend you give him a chance. Plus he tends to return more apples than you give him.
I love the "unconventional alternative proposed by the developer's engineer". There has to be a story there. I'm imagining the scene in "The Martian" where Donald Glover has his eureka moment and has to convince a bunch of big wigs to try this totally crazy idea - "Let's drill basically to the center of the Earth to get some leverage on this thing"

The fastest man-made object ever launched was the New Horizons spacecraft. Headed on an intercept course for Pluto 30 AUs away, it took 9.5 years to get there. And that's without slowing down; if you actually wanted to land on Pluto you would need to spend even more time actually slowing down. The object in the OP is 225 AU away (which is dramatically closer than prior estimates of the distance of Planet 9 (300 AU)). All this means that, even moving as fast as we have ever launched a spacecraft, it would take at least 70 years for a probe to reach Planet 9, even without taking time to slow down. A probe launched today would return with its cargo no sooner than 2160. That's probably never going to be economical, even with future improvements to spacecraft propulsion (moving faster just means you need more and more fuel to slow down, at which point you are beholden to the tyranny of the rocket fuel equation).

It's easy to forget the scales here. We're used to Pluto being our reference point for "far edge of the solar system", and it's easy to conclude that Planet 9 is about as far as Pluto, but it's so much farther. Voyager 1 is a bit more than halfway that far.
I play computer games in moderation, and find them therapeutic too. I have had some really intense anxiety episodes and I attribute much of my present stability to having activities available that easily engage my mind. I think it's suuuuper important to feel your feelings and not be in a race with yourself to obliterate them, so it's important to focus on aligning your activities with your values, and not escapism. Flow, achievement and health and values of mine, so I play games with this in mind (hence intense and short episodes mostly). If you play to "escape" too much, it might be counter-productive, as this can result in a nasty feedback-loop. I guess what I practice is still escapism, sometimes, especially from boredom and work-stress, but I frame it more as an exercise in putting my attention somewhere, and being in the moment, rather than a fight to "feel good".

Also, I suspect the benefits of gaming align with higher-order human needs (e.g. From Maslow's hierarchy; problem-solving, confidence, achievement etc).
Frameworks and library authors could stand to do more in-house. It's also on devs to vet a library for maintenance concerns like sprawling dependencies.
> the company repeatedly ignoring/breaking it's own policies.

Learn to ignore "policies", and only pay attention to what people actually do, what works, and what gets rewarded.
Well, correlation doesn't imply causation, no? As it doesn't mean that playing video increase your well-being. Because being able to play video game imply being not too destitute, having enough free time to play and being mentally healthy enough to play (just today I was reading a post on a video game forum, with a poster complaining he was too depressed to do anything, including play video games).

I wouldn't trust the claim it can't be simulated; right after google declared quantum supremacy another group noticed that the classical solution was actually much faster than google said (and that's before any real optimization work gets started). https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.14502

Also as pointed out, these aren't full qubits, nor does any doubling mean the QC will suddenly be able to do anything useful.
Sounds bad for supply chain.
That chart shows median male income and includes the cost of college. Median male income is weighed down by non-college educated men, who are very likely not paying for college.

The greatest programming fallacy is blindly trusting someone else to have correctly invented "the wheel" before. Shockingly few people really know what they're doing.
green has a lower band gap relative to blue/white, ~2V depending on chemistry, but there's something like that going on - IIRC human eyes are most sensitive to green around the ~500/550nm wavelength that green LEDs emit, so you can get good brightness out of low power.

They tried this with pip.

Distros ripped it out.

They added the ensurepip module so users could add it after the fact.

Distros ripped it out too.

Arguably the advantage newer languages like Rust and Go have in this regard is they don't even consider the distro use case - you're going to get static linking and you'd better like it. Whereas Python is from an older era and tries to fit in with the local customs and so gets hammered for its inconsistency

correlation does not indicate direction of causation; it is just as valid to conclude that happy people had more time to play games.

Technically, the government did not resign, and the president did not dissolve the parliament yet, it's fully functional. The dissolution will only happen later this month.

I don't know what you mean bullshit excuse. Everything has a cost to test and maintain. It doesn't help to say that it's bullshit if nobody has done a real cost analysis. Remember that this is something that has to be maintained for years. If some bugs occur in it later and it has to be removed again then the users will be upset again so it's not really useful for us to say just ship it and don't test, that's what we want to avoid. Yes, you and I could guess what it costs but that doesn't carry as much weight as somebody who actually works on it full time doing their cost analysis.

I get your frustration about your workflow but I'm still upset about my cupholders :) For the system tray and server side decorations, there are technical reasons for those to have gotten removed. Their existence may enable some workflows but it also breaks some other workflows so that's not an area where everyone can win. And if you want to bring them back then I can guarantee you that's not just a matter of flipping a switch, there is real work that needs to be done there and it won't happen if nobody is willing to pay the cost. It doesn't really make sense to blame volunteers for not being able to afford that either when this is something that's so expensive that the bigger contributors like Red Hat don't even want to pay for it.

It could be the opposite. Researchers could be less cynical / skeptical back then about things that are real but can't be seen.
