The multi language support always blows me away like being able to tab between your chosen languages when searching. Lots of simple innovations that make it clear yall put a lot of thought into it.
It wasn't silly to order Pizza over the internet. In fact, it was maybe the first example of a web order form on the world wide web [0]. And this is after the existing 20-year widespread success of pizza delivery by phone. I don't know why so many people willfully ignore history here.

What would be the reason to even use hand-rolled protocol instead of something commonly used, such as JSON or protobuf, which have properly tested C libraries with decent security record?

I assume performance is not a problem, since it's only exchanging a small amount of data, so maybe they were aiming for the fact that less code means smaller attack surface?

One kind of metric to look at are published papers, patents filed, money invested into science, total citations. All of them are increasing a lot. But these are terrible and unconvincing, you could see the numbers go up if we were spinning our wheels.

The value of science and engineering should really be measured in terms of how much easier they make our lives. If you look at that, it's hard to find a metric that doesn't show that scientific progress is healthy and increasing. Moore's law is still going. The cost of solar per Watt is down like 100x in 30 years. The cost of batteries is down 50x in 30 years. The cost of sequencing a genome is down 10,000x in 20 years. Productivity per worker doubled in 30 years. 30 years ago digital cameras were super low resolution, now they're amazing. 20 years ago computer vision could barely detect a person walking in front of car, it was state of the art research; it's now so reliable the new infrastructure bill makes it mandatory for new cars.

I picked examples from all sorts of areas of the economy and human life for a reason: none of these are down to one discovery. They required countless advances from material science, to basic physics, even the mathematics, engineering, etc.

Everything is far cheaper to make today and people are far more productive compared to 30 years ago, and it's just incomparable compared to 60 years ago.

But I get it. It doesn't feel that way. That's not a science problem. That's a politics problem. The gains from all of these improvements at a societal level are mostly going to the ultra-rich sadly, because people vote against their own best interests routinely.
Same goes for the gcc maintainers
Use your eyes and your brain.
You can build a macro on the fly to do some transformation for, say, a line of text, or even a function, and just repeat those manipulations. Usually they are crude combinations of vim inputs that work well enough for the situation at hand. Obviously it's not a replacement for IDE refactoring, but if you're using a vim emulator, you can do both
Thanks for the cue, I should try it the next time I feel acute missing out.
Now, I use vim mode in Sublime, so I have already "seen the light" so to say. But that situation is probably one I'd actually be able to solve faster with multiple cursors.

What I'd do is this: Put the cursor on one of the calls, then use ctrl-d to put a new cursor at all the matches. Then use ctrl-right-arrow to move by word until the second comma, combine that with shift to select the argument and edit all of them with visual feedback to my heart's content.

In reality, depending on the complexity of the text, after creating all the cursors, I'd probably use the vim movements to get them to where I need though.
No need for past tense, AS/400 still exists, just got the name changed to IBM i.
and blockchain
I also like and use tools like sed and awk; using the vim internal tools are very easy to learn if you come from there, and they have the advantage of being better suited for working with whole buffer (multilines, paragraphs etc.), instead of on a line-by-line basis.

I believe vim is a great editor for the kind of people who like sed, awk, and working from/with the shell, since it's pretty much the same culture.
And you've set me up perfectly for the real point: stocks generate dividends.

Dividends mean that the "rocks" you hold spit out a few pennies magically every so often. While fewer stocks today pay a dividend, many still do.

For holding bonds you get the coupon payment, which again is like your rocks spitting out pennies every so often.

In the real world, companies and governments are paying you to hold their rocks.

That's why the stock market/bond market isn't zero-sum.
Well yeah isn't the same thing then ? The resulting code is plain x86 assembly, and you just trust it to have been sanitized by its transformation to/from WASM. Looks like your definition of a trusted compiler to me.
I think you forgot to say typedef.
Modern AS/400 runs on PowerPC, the hardware is completly different from the early 1980's models.
Not only this, Satoshi had even predicted that the price would be very unstable and grow exponentially before it became stable.

Early Bitcoiners have known this and predicted it several times. See this post from a decade ago for reference:

> You could say the same thing about property deeds, contracts, etc. The fact that the laws of physics still apply in the world and thus people can still physically take things from you, harm you, etc. is hardly an argument against any specific method for establishing and recording ownership or contracts.

On the contrary, it's a strong argument for using those methods of establishing and recording ownership that are blessed by the relevant local legal system (or, sure, ultimately by those who control local violence, if you want to go all the way down). It's the reason why you get lawyers still insisting on using faxes rather than emails.

I'm not so sure you're right about that... Speech has limits and Facebook has corporate responsibility. They do monitor speech in the USA and still the impact is big (see January 6th) this is what happens with zero monitoring.

They can claim discrimination and many other such claims. It seems there's a lot of evidence to support criminal negligence. If inaction led to deaths a civil suit can get a big payout.
Sure, or if you're willing to trust an electronic database you can put it in an electronic database. How do you think wholesalers buy and sell wine at the moment?
Some feedback ponts:

- It took me quite some time to get what this actually is, not sure if that's because I haven't stumbled uppon anything similar before

- It looks like there is quite some effort one needs to put in order to make use of the suite, I wasn't able to quickly understand how/if this suite will speed up my workflow or how it does that

- The pages look great though, it looks like very decent work :)
More likely, they mean using non-negative matrix factorization but with a bank of feature vectors instead of note templates. NNMF can be used in a wide variety of domains because it essentially encodes the problem of "this thing is a bit like this thing, a bit like this thing, and a bit like this other thing".

If instead of numbers representing intensity at different frequencies (as in the spectrograms), the numbers in each vector of the template bank represent other features (such as listener overlap with other artists/songs, or genre representation across multiple continuous "color" axes) then you can recommend music to a listener based on the similarity to songs in their library to those in the template bank.
God bless those socially liberal Canadians!

I went in expecting to find something resembling fandom.com but was pleasantly suprised. It is more or less the Firefox reader mode but improved and optimised for Wikipedia and without hiding parts of the website. One issue: the background colour breaks on french pages, probably due to the other theme they are using. The one thing I miss is a quicker way to access other languages, I often read a page in multiple languages and having to scroll through the menu every time is slow.

> > If nodes are expensive, doesn't nsa have more money than any given privacy focused individual or organizing?

> So, two things are going on in this question.

The author suspects differently, he does suspect a state actor behind KAX17. Do you have better Information?

> Most systems people build that rely on altruism are so easily attacked that a grad student can take control of them using resources at a University.

KAX17 at times had bandwidth capabilities of 150 Gbit/s that is getting awfully close to the full bandwidth of the uni and would get noticed and shutdown pretty quickly. You seem to ignore the fact that running nodes with this capabilities requires significant resources.

>I appreciate that the bar to prevent the NSA (or the CCP, or whatever other government surveillance network you are most concerned about) taking over your network is high, but the bar right now is just so low for most of these protocols that it should be embarrassing. If the NSA were really the only problem for Tor, I'd call that "a wild success".

> The second, though, is that the goal should be to get big enough that the NSA would actually have a hard time dominating the resources of the pool. This requires being pretty large, but isn't insanely impossible.

So your solution is "we just need to be big enough"? In that case are you not solving a non problem? If the tor network was big enough all this wouldn't be an issue, no need for any crypto currency constructs.

>Let's look at Bitcoin for a moment: I am one of the first people to agree that "proof of work is probably an immoral way to solve this problem" (due to the externalized environmental effects of electricity usage and the such), but damn if it isn't effective, right?

Effective at what? Keeping the NSA out? I suspect the NSA (as well as many others) have a good idea about a significant portion of bitcoin ownership. Also mining is highly concentrated, and there isn't even really an incentive for state agencies to try to control it.

> Bitcoin uses 0.5% of the world's electricity. That means to take control of half the Bitcoin network, the NSA would have to build out the infrastructure for buying (and using) an equivalent amount of the world's electricity... I bet that's hard, even for them.

I for one commend OP for having a defiant heart.
A bit tangential, but is it typical to mention your funding source multiple times in the abstract for an academic paper in this field?

Actually, to be frank, mentioning multiple times that they are DARPA-funded in the abstract makes me wonder if they are aware that their claims stretch the suspension of disbelief, and if perhaps they'd like to emphasize their association with a big official organization to reinforce their credibility. Which is not at all a good argument against them, but it gives me a little bad smell. Maybe I'm just jaded and they'd like to preemptively offer thanks to DARPA, though.
I've never heard those terms before, so I'd have to be talked into it. What about science is centralized?

It seems like "centralized science" might have something to do with authority, which not an idea that I think gets along with science very well. I'm more into Feyerabend than Popper in that way.
This is true, but it's better to just assume people aren't speaking in an official capacity unless they say they are. This would also shave 30% off most Twitter bios.
Yeah, I’m also leaning to just learn the heck out of vscode internals and tune it to my own needs maybe via custom plugins, instead of running behind the train. Sometimes investments just stop returning, and you have to make bold moves want it or not.

What makes me happy to use vim is the odd few hours here and there in visual studio with a large project loaded.
>he got bogged down in learning vi in addition to Unix's other foibles!

Check:

It's a vi quickstart tutorial that I created.

From the start of that Twitter subthread:

[ Those new to vi / vim, hit the ground running with my short vi quickstart tutorial here:

https://gumroad.com/l/vi_quick

I first wrote that tutorial at the request of a couple of Windows system admin friends of mine (at a company where I worked earlier), who were tasked with managing a few Unix boxes, without knowing Unix. They used the tutorial and later told me that it helped them to quickly start using vi to do their work on those boxes, including editing config files, simple shell scripts, etc.

Edit: Since vi is mostly a subset of vim, the tutorial works for vim too. ]

But dividends are zero-sum. The shareholder gets the money, the corporate entity loses it. The value created is the value created by the company's business operations, which is independent of whether any of the profits are ever distributed as dividends.

By analogy, it would be the value of the currency as a currency, i.e. to facilitate productive financial transactions that would not otherwise occur. The reason non-speculators would ultimately want to have any.
I'm not again change in general, but I think it's very arrogant to assume even the majority of people know when you can scroll or swipe. Sure, people moght try out of desperation, but random actions to figure out the ui isn't a good ui.
All rechargeable batteries have a limited lifetime and fail at some point.

Based on personal experience, swelling is a common failure mode of Li-ion batteries. Whether this is a "normal" or adverse effect would depend on age and the number of recharge cycles. To extend the lifetime, recharge less --- as infrequently as possible.
And yet it's had what, 10 years, and it's still all dumb or criminal or both. I've always said the better nineties analogy is to all the Second Life islands being sold for millions of dollars or whatever. Eventually the hype died down and it became irrelevant even though it never went away as such.

> With reactive design, "request desktop site" generally doesn't work, either.

It shouldn't, because with proper reactive design therre are no "mobile" and "desktop" versions but only one version that adapts to the viewport size. If you want a larger viewport that should be solved at the browser level by providing the website with a larger viewport. Seems firefox behaves this way while chrome does something weird that increases the viewport a bit but then still "intelligently" scales some text.

We're looking for a senior full-stack developer/engineer. We're using mainly Java (with Spring) and TypeScript (with React). We're a small and self-funded company. The engineering team puts a lot of weight on continous learning and always challenging the status quo - that's the only way we can get better as individuals and as a team. All engineers get a lot of space and trust so they can always do their best.

As a company, we offer a performance management tool, which includes features like setting up and keeping track of objectives/goals, giving praise, 360 feedback and performance reviews.
Would probably lose more than you'd gain doing that. The HTML right now is so clean you can read it without a browser, almost looks like it might be hand written, while still preserving things like formulas and tables (which do need a browser).

That was actually my first thought.

The link talks about 70% decrease of Alzheimer risk over a 6 year period of Viagra use (vs lack thereof).

But early Alzheimer signs have been shown to appear up to 18 years before diagnosis. Memory and thinking tests for these signs from 13 to 18 years before diagnosis show 85% higher risk in those failing. [0]

So 6 years is actually a very short window to claim causality, especially when it can be guessed through other means with (my guess) higher accuracy.

> Current browsers are on the same level as entire operating systems.

Am i the only one who views the above statement as something alarming, not something to be admired?

Sure, when we're talking about the safety of planes the track record is improving, however their present complexity comes with lots of risks, for example, what happened with MCAS in Boeing 737 MAX planes.

There are systems that are simple enough for there to obviously be no bugs... and there are those that have no obvious bugs. And that's probably especially true in software with most big packages, just look at OpenVPN and its many CVEs over the years and then compare that to WireGuard. The same could probably be said about their respective resource usages and how easy they are to configure.

Firefox and browsers in general getting larger will simply lead us to a point in time, where nothing that competes with either of them can even be created anew in a reasonable time span - who has the resources to support numerous ECMAScript dialects, many CSS layout systems, a bunch of different HTML modes and tags, custom components, different system APIs, WASM and so on and on and on... It never stops.

I predict that there will be no new major non-Chromium (or even based on whatever Firefox now has at its core) browsers in the future and only smaller projects that make tradeoffs (e.g. no legacy supported) will pop up every now and then.
This has nothing to do with some evil planned obsolescence, it’s just that you can’t make a device that small while retaining (easy) battery replacement capability.
