The author says that, but he admits he's also not an expert and more of an arm-chair historian. So his analysis might not be correct either.

It could all be false flag stuff:

•They actually were used for this stuff, but don't want to admit it.

•They weren't acctually used for this stuff, but want to make people think they were.

•They were designed for one purpose, built and paid for by that purpose, but then ultimately piggybacked being used by other services with plausible deniability.

It's a feature docker refused to implement, and is one of the reasons Red Hat created podman, which is a drop in docker replacement (you can alias it to docker for the most part), but it allows full control over what repos are checked.

For docker, as I understand it to get something functionally similar you have to define a mirror for docker.io that's not really a mirror and then prefer that mirror and/or disallow traffic to docker.io in some fashion.
Do you get an NFT with that?
Cancer cells can consume multiple energy sources, not exactly news here. Concluding that dietary palmitic acid is a problem is questionable. Palmitate is produced endogenously and dietary palmitic acid does not even influence tissue concentration [1].

This is actually one of the recommended methods if you have no other options. It's not particularly good otherwise because of the limited visibility cone of the hidden camera reflections. From experience, the flashlight often tends to occlude the reflections you want to see, or the user isn't in the right place to see the reflections (near the flashlight).
And there still is the German meta search engine, MetaGer.

You say you want them to succeed, but I don't believe you are sincere. This negativity with anecdotal evidence is so annoying. Like the whole world will come to a halt because some document formatting got fucked up.

I see this same shit with Excel all the time. It's fucking FULL of bugs that have just been around for so long, people just get used to it and work around it.

I mean, if you selected a group of 30 rows in Excel, then use CTRL to deselect one row in the middle... it doesn't deselect it, it "selects" the row again, so now it's just darker than all the other rows. Is this fixed yet? It was a bug in fucking Office 2016 and goes back years. Nobody said it wasn't ready for use!

It's such a fucking basic feature. To de-select a single row out of a group that is selected. It's the single most counter-productive thing ever. When I found this bug, I was blown away that nobody ever complained about it! I worked with thousands upon thousands of people with Excel and it was never a problem?!

Word doesn't even play nice with it's own files... ever moved a file from Office 2013 to Office 2016? I've seen it garble files a million times. Move a Word doc from Mac to Windows and shit gets hosed sometimes.

The clerks will get used to the issues. Just the same way that they got used to the hot fucking garbage that Microsoft charges enterprises and governments substantial amounts of money for, and provides precisely dick for support in return.

EDIT: I mean look at this shit! Apparently deselecting is a new concept to Microsoft!

Note: This feature is only available in Excel for Window if you have Office 2019, or if you have a Microsoft 365 subscription. If you are a Microsoft 365 subscriber, make sure you have the latest version of Office.
KDB is trying to expand out of the finance niche into other applications no? Is that a viable path? Is KDB competitive in other sectors?
AFAIR, OpenBSD has included the GPL-licensed gcc for a long time. They have a clear preference for more permissive license, but it would seem the GPL is not a problem as such, the OpenBSD developers just prefer more liberal alternatives where possible.

I'm not taking sides here, the OpenBSD developers have famously stopped supporting hardware when the vendors did not supply documentation under acceptable conditions. They obviously are very serious about the "Open" part.

I would say that the only pruning of the graph which matters is that which is done by your fellows.

An orchard atop a cliff presents an equal challenge to all. Some might have the ability and desire to scale it, some not.

What is the difference between a fence around an orchard and a threat of insurmountable violence if you enter the orchard? Either way it is someone else restricting your freedom, while they retain that same freedom for themselves.

I think your familiarity with the Latin script is coloring your perceptions a bit, I'm an arab and when I was a child I used to classify French, Italian and all languages that use Latin letters as 'English'. Growing up is not what made me realize this is wrong, it's learning English. It's very easy to imagine the other way around.
>He was not an economist, but he developed the use of fixed-point theorems in economics in a paper which the historian Roy Weintraub calls “the single most important article in mathematical economics”, and which inspired “half a dozen” Nobel laureates.

I never suggested encoding a document in JSON. I would use a similar syntax for annotations of text elements. Both Markdown and Org support similar things(e.g. tagging a heading) but with inconsistent, inflexible syntax. I don't think anything beats JSON in that area, definitely not XML. Specifically I'd prefer something along the lines of JSON5 for the sake of sanity, which is just better for human-readable and editable content.
Maybe this is too radical but how about don't worship anything at all?

Yes, 100%. Without question. I know it's trendy to hate modern languages and frameworks but they do reduce overall dev time even if they have more of an initial learning overhead.

Not to put too fine a point on it but by a lot of measures thing were better in Western societies for the last couple of centuries, eh? Arguably things still are better. It's evening out, but only really in the last few decades.

Do your coworkers, subordinates, and management chain like you? The worst harm you can create in your career is being someone who people don't want to work with in the future.

And the best thing is to have a professional network of people who would hire you in a minute if they could. It multiplies your odds of getting a great job when you are not just another random application in a stack of applications.

Good luck.
Once upon a time, I quite enjoyed writing in Perl's POD format. It's not really a "hidden" markup language like Markdown or (partially) org, but it still had way less overhead than XML or BBCode.

=head1 This is a major headline
=head2 And a secondary one.

Paragraphs end with blank lines, as with
many other markup systems.

And you can use I<emphasize> B<Text> with inline
codes, including some richer than the usual italics/bold,
like e.g. for F<filenames.txt>.

Doesn't serve the dual purpose of both being a source of translation and being read verbatim without the reader knowing that it's a markup language, but honestly, you get used to stuff like that easily.

Rebol's MakeDoc also was quite neat, and had a very minimal implementation. Man, so much lost potential with that language.

I'm surprised - China's recent foreign policy certainly has not endeared it to South East Asian countries, but even before then mainland Chinese were not exactly treated with open arms in Singapore. You probably won't find it said to your face, but xenophobia against foreigners from China and India is definitely not uncommon.
Likely. Headlamps are well known tools for collecting spiders at night, when positioned just right they will reflect off the spider's eyes as you move your head around. It's an amazing thing to see spiders everywhere.
This is correct. The typical restrictions on BSD code are:

1. If you distribute source code you need to retain the copyright notice, the license conditions, and the disclaimer

2. If you distribute binaries you must include those in the documentation

3. (sometimes) You can't use the contributors to promote your software (e.g. "Powered by the fantastic LibreSSL library!")

Nobody is calling Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia or frankly S. Korea a 'Surveillance State'. Not Japan either really.

China is being referred to as a 'Surveillance State' because it is.

Singapore has been a planned/authoritarian since the 'revolution', so it's not a stretch either.
are you at a FAANG-tier company? I'm not and never have been, but would say I'm quite well-paid, and this is absolutely not my experience. They pay a lot because it's work nobody wants to do.
Thank you!

While this work operates on ToF sensors that are already present in smartphones (e.g., Samsung S20+/Ultra), a Microsoft/Azure Kinect should also be a valid option because it has a depth camera as well. It has a higher resolution and bit-depth as well.

We initially intended to compare against the Kinect, but it doesn't fit the use case (something that you can have on you at all times). However, it could be a cheap choice for a different kind of deployment (automated hidden camera detection with robots, perhaps?)
Well, having lived and voted in SF and Portland, I would say that I can think of races where I would have been fine with several of the contenders, but would have really not wanted an outlier to win, so AV seems like it could work. In my undergrad days I got to experience a ranked system, which is interesting, but seems sort of inefficient.

So you eat ibuprofen, but you couldn't grow or raise it 100 years ago. It was invented in the 60s and wasn't available over the counter until the 80s.
Margarine was invented in 1869. You need to go back a lot farther.

You are also skipping out a lot of newer stuff that wasn't possible back then, but after serious study seems safe. Most of what was done 200 years ago is accepted as safe, but there is no actual evidence for it, and in many cases we know it wasn't. (the obvious example of using lead in finishes for food contact items)
I just heard that our new hire got his company issued laptop and can’t do work because he can’t install the software he needs. He has to organise with it to get it installed. To do software qa.

If i was in that situation I would just reformat the computer. Luckily I don’t have a company issued laptop. I gave it back because it was a Dell XPS aeroplane. I use my own laptop for work.

Tangential but I feel pretty depressed about middle class consumerism. People just buy new gadgets such as phones and tablets every year like their money is burning a hole in their pocket. Things that you want to last like fridges, toasters, microwaves barely last, with some people I know buying cheap toasters bi-yearly. I bought an expensive monitor earlier this year and the backlight has already failed. When I send it back for a replacement it will inevitably end up being broken up and landfilled. The manufacturer faces no consequences.

The only thing really worth buying as a middle class person is property. But for many it's so out of reach that I suspect they fall into a kind of despair and instead just spend on what brings them momentary happiness, like new gadgets.

We are moving towards a world where everything is just rented. Even the stuff you've bought.
Absolutely. The author of the article lives in London, which is notorious for police surveillance (1 camera per 13 people!), but there's no way they'd write a similar article about a Western country.
im an idiot but can someone help me understand the following questions?

- Doesn’t this mean graphite can access non-public codebases of large organizations that authorize it?

- What prevents graphite or its employees from stealing intellectual property or maliciously viewing code for their own purposes?

- are there risks in allowing graphite access to codebases in any way?

- any and all information regarding privacy with regards to code are welcome, i simply cannot give access to certain codebases to third party organizations without some proof that the data is not going to be maliciously used or accessed.

all this comes into question when simply trying to login to graphite website.
It will not replace Frink as my desktop calculator/programming environment for "low-code" stuff especially since no other PL/utility handles unit conversions so effortlessly. I do like the command line/REPL example though.

This is a good question. The answer is quite simple, if you understand how lawyers/law is working.

The reason behind complaints are not exposure, but compensation.

It is common to request withdrawal of any pending complaints for settlements in order to be valid. After all you file for some sort of damage and when you get compensated in another form like in a settlement, there is no reason for pushing forward the complaint.

I think I've always been in this group. As a kid I wanted some toys (Lego), later computer components, but I never felt I had a shortage of them, and nowadays other peoples hand-me-downs serve me perfectly fine. I fix/update much around the house myself and although I occasionally buy something new (height adjustable desk last year), I don't really derive enjoyment out of the consumption process. Rather understanding myself and my environment and adjusting them based on new insights (which I can often do with few and existing materials) is what is fun for me.
Do you care to reference specific examples? By your general comment, I had assumed you were referencing Spears and the occasional elder abuse article that pops up on HN. And I'm just saying that in the case of of an elephant with no money, they're a lot less attractive target for that type of hostile fiduciary.

Furthermore, it doesn't seem like the article mentions guardianship at all. In fact as it stands it would seem that elephants in general already have guardians - whomever can assert a property right over them. The question is whether an elephant itself should be recognized as having its own perspective. In this way, this case would seem to be more about reforming the current guardianship of elephants to increase their agency, rather than reducing it as you're making out.

And yeah to your general point, the courts are imperfect and seemingly terrible when we look at their worst abuses. But that seems somewhat orthogonal to the current question. If we get to the point where say some billionaires are abusing the ability to legally represent an elephant (to further their own interests while harming that elephant), then we can focus on that specific injustice.
Not really. I've granted that there is a middle ground, it's just that you have to draw the line at systems that actually need proper engineering eg where security or performance has serious real world consequences. It's a question of where you draw the line. Use this for appropriate use cases but beware of abusing this stuff.
I suppose there's some merit in the "before we had cancer" thing. Certainly many people were dying of other stuff long before they would have gotten cancer.

Have you tried implementing ipv6 in a medium to larger network?

Even folks like google with more money then god and more experts by far than anyone else likely has had some struggles getting their GCP offering alone fully IPv6 enabled.

After enough years I've learned that anyone who says IPv6 is simple probably hasn't actually tried rolling it out?

Note I haven't explored IPv6 in Azure, perhaps Microsoft has had an easier time going full native IPv6 in their offering there.

Or what about getting 1 or even a few static IPs from your ISP? Oh right - also a nightmare. There apparently are both plenty of IPv6 IPs but at least in the US can't even get 5 static ones for home use.

I think you're correct to say a lot of people simplify what the problem is with neutrino mass. In principle it seems like there is no problem, you just add a mass term for the neutrino just like any other particle. Just b/c at first we didn't expect that term to be there doesn't mean it's a problem to now, or that original expectation was all that meaningful. And again, as you point out, there are a couple of potential ways to add that mass term in, either the "normal" way with a right handed neutrino, or with some fancy see-saw majorana term, or some combination thereof.

The issue is though, right now the standard model is at least ambiguous in terms of the majorana mass term. If it ends up the neutrino gets its mass from only the "normal" mass term, then why doesn't it have a majorana mass term? There's no current symmetry that says there can't be a majorana mass? If the neutrino's majorana mass is zero, then you'd probably have to introduce a symmetry into the standard model that says majorana particles can't exist.

But if the neutrino does end up having a non-zero majorana mass term then that means the neutrino is a majorana particle, and can undergo lepton number violating processes (e.g. neutrinoless double beta decay). Again, that's new physics.

So no matter how you give the neutrino mass, you're gonna have to modify the standard model in some "significant" way to accommodate. Either by specifically saying majorana particles can't exist, or by allowing for lepton number violating processes.

Now you could say, well then it might the case that majorana particles don't exist b/c that would require lepton number violating processes, so I don't need to introduce a new symmetry, I can just take advantage of one that's already lying around. That might be a valid claim to make...I'm not sure. I think the issue with that comes down to the difference between lepton number a global vs accidental symmetry in the standard model.
It’s really uncanny how well AI can give out unfounded promises like that the internet will be fixed in 24 hours. I wonder wether there is any legal obligations connected to them.
I saw elements of my own experience everywhere here.

But:

“4] This is a weird but recurring behavior of mine. When sitting with a (professional) group for the first time, I will always put myself at the edge. It's not because I'm avoiding the "power position" or anything. It's that I prefer to observe everyone first. And the best place to do that, is from the edge.”

No. No. In American society, this 1-1.5 sigma deviant behavior. You were broadcasting, “I’m considering, on my terms, whether or not to join this group.” Consider overriding this strategy, even if it is “work.” In a group, I would consider trying to sit as close to the center of mass as possible.
Sure, some re-hashing is meritorious. But there are diminishing returns.

A nice quote[0]:

> Nutella maker, Ferrero, launched an advertising campaign in response to reassure customers that their product is safe. The company insists on keeping their recipe the same, claiming that “making Nutella without palm oil would produce an inferior substitute for the real product, it would be a step backward,” according to Fererro’s purchasing manager, Vincenzo Tapella. The smooth texture Tapella is referring to could be achieved by more expensive oils like sunflower or rapeseed but would increase the cost of production by as much as $22 million.

This was basically the same BS that Johnson & Johnson used to defend BPA baby bottles before the ban.
