Perl and Bash are only "error-prone and unintuitive" in the way that woodworking is. If you have no education into how it all works, and you just take a saw or drill to a bunch of wood and try to hack together a table, the result will be terrible. You need to read something that explains how it works, then practice it and make some mistakes to learn from. The same thing is true of C, C++, Lisp, Haskell, all sorts of languages. Nobody just uses them perfectly on the first try.

Hardly any of the vaccine drive has been done by governments. Overwhelming majority of the people have been vaccinated in non-government facilities by doctors and nurses not employed by government. To be sure, a huge chunk of that was paid for by the government, but if the analogy here is to work, you would need to ask the government to pay Amazon a fuck ton of money to run the postal service.
Crick is being cancelled as well. Not a bad thing, since he is an old boy who largely claimed credit for the discoveries of Rosalind Franklin, who could not defend her claims due to her untimely death, as well as the general misogyny of the establishment at the time (and arguably still today).
> but usually good actors have an abundance of mitigating evidence at their disposal

You must be joking. That's not how it works when the government has you in their crosshairs.

>and it's usually just easier to say "here's the evidence, we're not guilty".

And then the government will spend years and millions of dollars trying to poke holes in that evidence of innocence.

Anyone who follows the news has seen this repeated over and over again. Various government authorities routinely engage in witch hunts with little evidence.

Maybe Mansoor Adayfi should've just provided evidence of his innocence after being shipped to Guantanamo Bay? They would have immediately released him, right? What a stupid guy he must have been that it took the government 14 years to release him.

One small step for humankind, but a giant one for lobsters occurred a few days ago when the UK government officially recognized them (together with octopus and crabs) as sentient beings:

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/lobsters-octopus-and-crab...

If you do not read the whole original article, read just this excerpt.

"If you’re tilting it from a container into the steaming kettle, the lobster will sometimes try to cling to the container’s sides or even to hook its claws over the kettle’s rim like a person trying to keep from going over the edge of a roof. And worse is when the lobster’s fully immersed. Even if you cover the kettle and turn away, you can usually hear the cover rattling and clanking as the lobster tries to push it off. Or the creature’s claws scraping the sides of the kettle as it thrashes around. The lobster, in other words, behaves very much as you or I would behave if we were plunged into boiling water (with the obvious exception of screaming)."

Switzerland banned boiled them alive a few years ago

You should not: if anything, that would be a showcase of your proficiency in design memes, or if put another way, general incompetence.

To redesign something, I feel like you need to dive deep into what the project wants to achieve, and why it doesn’t happen (if it ever really does not). For that, you will need owners’ input and a lot of research, which you doubtfully can get in three hours.

If this is it then I have to wonder what value the rules really provide. Because I'd rather 150M abruptly change hands every now and then than listen to a member of the PMC standing on their faux meritocracy tell me I'm too stupid to do A, B and C and then write regulations to make sure I can't.

Pretty sure it's just evil banker man rules.
You’ve jumped from “bigoted” to “ideological purity”, which I didn’t say.

But just in the interest of going whole hog: let’s assume I become King Of Earth and my new rule is “nobody is allowed to be celebrated”. Does the world stop spinning? It’s a crazy rule, but celebration of dead people isn’t exactly the glue holding society together.

Meanwhile, racism is a pretty ongoing issue that is tearing it apart.

Only on mac though, because docker has extra overhead due to running on a vm there. I run kubernetes all the time in my linux desktop and it consume <5% cpu on idle, and that's with more than a dozen pods running in the background (postgres, postgis, mysql, redis, memcached, a bunch of django webapps, some test wordpress instances, multiple sftp instances, and a pihole instance).

I got fed up with the performance on mac and tried using https://github.com/rancher/k3d instead, which seems to cut the idle cpu usage by half.
I'll take "being able to do as I desire with my mass produced device to the fullest extent permissible currently" over "being forced to bin (or forever keep offline) a multi hundred dollars soon-to-be-ewaste device because it became obsolete few years after production and without software updates and security patches the few remaining applications working are a giant security hole where even viewing an image embedded with malicious code can turn it into a botnet peer and a threat to your network". I'll also take this "risk" which could be applied to various extents to basically all community driven projects such as package managers and more. To me this is a middle finger from LG to its users (of which they may not even be fully aware or caring of, since they're closing the department), but as far as I'm aware their reputation in software has never been brilliant anyway.

Actually that's why I release the code on Apache/MIT combo. This way, I get to keep my code open source without forcing my company to release the modified code. Also there are no patent related issues as Apache handles that beautifully. This way, both of us get to be happy. All I want is that the original piece of my code is
1) mine for ever. Attribution wise.
2) open source for ever
3) every contributor to the code is always attributed for their work.
4) my company can make proprietary (the reason why I avoid LGPL) profits and take royalty on its modified part but my original piece must remain in the wild for me or anybody to be used freely.

The paper mentions that we are now regularly exposed to bacteria that can grow in cold environments. That's fascinating
I don't think it's that. The main reason behind the brutality was precisely so that people elsewhere would find out about it, to set an example for other cities that they should surrender instead of forcing a protracted siege.

I think it comes down to economics.

Ancient cities were primarily administrative and trading centers for the surrounding territory. Most of the wealth was coming from outside of the cities, it was just collected in the cities. You could kill off most of the people in the city and still keep most of the value because you still have the infrastructure that lets you control the surrounding territory.

By the time you get to the modern era, cities are producing a lot of value of their own. If you kill off the people, you've gotten rid of the whole reason why you want to capture the city.

I’m not looking to solve every problem today. But also I’m not interested in engaging with people trying to “find and identify virtue” in bigots. If we can’t agree that celebrating bigots is bad, I’m at a loss as to how to resolve the disconnect.

I’m not looking to “get them”; Robert E Lee and Sir Ronald Fisher aren’t around to be annoyed that we aren’t throwing parades for them.
Refrigeration has also enabled extremely long shipping chains for produce.

My grandparents bought everything local, or grew their own. They canned, and preserved their own food too.

Meat was the same too. Local bought and butchered.

Now things are shipped tens of thousands of kilometers, and many vegetables and fruits are picked pre-ripe, so they will survive the journey.

It could be cold-evolved bacteria. But it could also be that now, we are exposed to many orders more bacteria, than before.

What human in the past, ate an orange from Isreal, cheese from Australia, almonds from California, meat from Alberta, broccoli from Mexico, onions from South America, while living in Canada, at the same meal?!

In the old days, everything you ate was local, either from preserved or local stores (grain silos, etc). So all the bacteria you ate was local as well.

To the dead comment talking about the second Pfizer dose, it's nothing to do with placebo, it's because the first dose induced memory in the cell-mediated immune systems. You can feel the aggressive cytokine, killer T-cell, and interferon response. If I remember correctly, they are most of the cause of people "feeling sick" during (and after, in the case of a cytokine storm) a viral infection.
I have read that the typical consumer wireless account is for "personal use" and is limited to a "few hundred" SMS messages per day. The service provider may define exactly what "personal use" means at their discretion.
If this is on the M5 data set as a benchmark, Prophet wouldn't be a great model choice at all. It's fantastic for dense, long, univariate time series with strong seasonality. M5 is very very sparse and intermittent. The M5 competition was won with lgbm, which isn't a time-series model at all. (Edit: looks like this defaults to something like lgbm, so, unsurprising results.)

How many pounds of coal did this game consume? I wonder if it's possible to compare the watt-hours of a typical game of snake as compared to this.
Definitely. Until the rise of Ukranian nationalism during 19th century, it was only of Russian interest as Grand Duchy of Lithuania and later Poland, both Catholic, who owned those territories for several centuries actively suppressed the Orthodox church there.
Honestly I do not really understand this idea because, AFAIK, JSON was designed for Javascript in a web browser. By and large, Javascript-enabled web browser expect access to generous amounts of memory. This is not the case for the common UNIX userland programs. These programs do not expect large amounts of memory and many are written with the intent that they may be used to process text line-by-line. This JSON idea reminds me of Windows "PowerShell". Microsoft actually has to limit how much memory can be used by the shell. Why is that.

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/learn-how-to-config...

One of the things I like most about the UNIX userland is that I can use small programs to edit vary large files, without needing lots of memory. I want programs that are designed to accomodate the possibility of line-by-line processing.

If the intent is to make output network friendly, maybe something like netstrings is useful. Easy to parse. Low memory footprint.

Seems to me this JSON idea is not designed to improve performance, agility or resource efficiency but to ignore the UNIX example in favour of a different, slower, approach that is perceived as easier for some people to use. Namely those who do not want to spend the time to learn how to use an existing, faster solution with lower resource requirements.
Funny enough the most frustrating thing I currently experience is an inability to clean up Linux. No, I don't want a complete reinstall, I just want to delete the random software I downloaded in the past 6 years and never use anymore. But as a casual user I have no idea what I even installed myself directly or through dependencies. Ubuntu software centre is unusable and doesn't seem yo know anything that came through the terminal. dkmg just gives me a list of several thousand packages in which I can't even find things I know I installed and want to get rid of (eg Android Studio).

Installs by terminal are also frustrating, e.g. if they give me outdated versions (e.g. nodejs is easy to install ob Ubuntu but several versions outdated) as I just don't know enough about what's going on to get it right. For non-experts like myself the lonher I run linux and the more i do stuff through the terminal with my half-knowledge, the more I seem to create an ever growing list of confusing installs and structures I dont quite grasp...
You should also add that said company enjoyed a government enforced monopoly on oil and gas extraction, which is basically a license to print money.
> How do I trust the public key I get via a tag in an email from somebody whose public key I don’t already have?

You trust it as much as you trust getting getting unencrypted email from your friends. The point, though, is that from then on, nobody else can eavesdrop on your communications with the person who sent you their public key. You can still verify it by calling up the person and asking if he sent it. Or you can have him send the key via snail mail.

> How does the person rotate keys if we only talk occasionally?

The same way you got the original key.

> so there isn’t a way to use the users pubkey to creat a per-message session key, and reusing a persistent key for encrypting data is a massive pitfall.

Is it that massive? SSH uses keys that aren't changed every time it's used it, and it's still viable.

Besides, it's as secure as any public key cryptosystem is, and that's a heck of a lot better than plaintext.
This is certainly not true! Many, many people from more than a century ago opposed racism and bigotry. It's just that many powerful people in recent years supported it and want you to believe that racism and bigotry was (and still is) a normal and defensible thing.

Most obviously - there were a lot of people from non-dominant races (in various times and places) in history! We have writings from Olaudah Equiano, for instance, that confirm that he did not believe in the common racism and bigotry of his time, and there were many thousands like him that didn't write anything down either.

But even among the races benefiting from racism, we have writings of people opposing it, too.

Here, for instance, are excerpts from journal entries of Bp. Thomas Coke, one of the founders of Methodism in the US, written in 1785:

> At night I lodged at the house of Captain Dillard, a most hospitable man, and as kind to his negroes as if they were white servants. It was quite pleasing to see them so decently and comfortably clothed. And yet I could not beat into the head of that poor man the evil of keeping them in slavery, although he has read Mr. Wesley's thoughts on slavery, (I think he said) three times over, : but his good wife is strongly on our side.)

> I preached the late Colonel Bedford's funeral sermon. But I said nothing good of him, for he was a violent friend of slavery, and his interest being great among the Methodists in these parts, he would have been a dreadful thorn in our sides, if the Lord had not in mercy taken him away.

And here is Gouverneur Morris, one of the Founding Father, debating in 1787 at the Constitutional Convention the merits of the Three-Fifths Compromise, as recorded in James Madison's notes:

> Upon what principle is it that the slaves shall be computed in the representation? Are they men? Then make them Citizens and let them vote. Are they property? Why then is no other property included? [...] The admission of slaves into the Representation when fairly explained comes to this: that the inhabitant of Georgia and S. C. who goes to the Coast of Africa, and in defiance of the most sacred laws of humanity tears away his fellow creatures from their dearest connections & damns them to the most cruel bondages, shall have more votes in a Govt. instituted for protection of the rights of mankind, than the Citizen of Pa. or N. Jersey who views with a laudable horror, so nefarious a practice.

What you see in these writings is a belief that there is no moral distinction to be made between white and black, that slavery is in fact an outrage, and no defense of it can be made based on race. What you see, simply, is opposition to racism.

This is what some successful and powerful and praiseworthy people - bishops and founding fathers - believed in the 1700s.

You don't know this, of course, because the people who make statues and stained glass windows aren't excited about sharing that history.

One thing, as I understand it Apple encrypts the whole drive, so wiping things may just be clearing the key from device which is pretty efficient and resistant to most hardware attacks (ie, if repair guy pulls drive and connects directly).

The reasoning behind why nobody would (rationally) but the bottle is similar to the "Pop Quiz" or "Surprise Hanging" paradox, except the latter paradox is much harder to resolve.

I also recall reading a somewhat cheesy short story in the 1970s wherein the current holder of the bottle imp is sought out by a very doomed man, a man who has committed a heinous crime, and seeks out similar supernatural things to take upon himself. The very doomed man has found an utterly worthless coin of some laughably inefficient micro-nation, and purchases the bottle imp. I believe there's a scene where the very doomed man is washing his hands in blood.
