The feeling is the most important thing. So long as the core is Halo, it’s OK if they bolt on everything else after release, IMO.

Launching with 10 maps is disappointing but understandable given the depth of modeling resources that were required for the open world campaign. Halo 2 had 12 and Halo 3 had 11, with much more onerous ways to add maps compared to today. I don’t think the limited number of maps will overly limited Infinite.

Limited game modes sucks but at least they will get us more in early Jan. I’m sure maps will be a quick follower as well. Forge is scheduled for May, which is unforgivably late but at least they are including it. I can’t think of many games with a Forge-like feature.
What confuses me about these reports is that the relevant South African districts report ~25% vaccination rates; so it sounds unlikely that the mildness observed is due to previous immunity. Or is the assumption that most of these people have had COVID before?
Anyone remember printf exploits? Feels strange to still be happening in 2021. I remember accidentally finding a printf exploit in an online Nintendo DS game when I was a kid, not that I knew what I was doing but it was fun to have my name be a bunch of constantly changing random numbers using %e in my online name. Sounds like the minecraft kids are having a bunch of fun with this one now :)
Ask HN: Example of technological regression (instead of advancement)

Ok, I think we can change the URL to that from the submitted URL (https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/pull/608), which doesn't provide much (any?) context for understanding what's being fixed there.
Prohibitionist laws never work, my friends started at 14-15-16 years old and legal age here is 18. Literally you can’t stop someone from doing things if they want to do it, the best thing you can do is educate someone that smoking in for sure not in his/her best interests and pray that he/she will make smart decisions moving forward.
PDM also supports centralized package cache like [pnpm] while still keeping project's dependencies isolated.

> Also this will just pollute your source directories with generated directories and files that shouldn't be there.

I don't see why it is a problem, node.js also has node_modules in the project. And __pypackages__ is created with a .gitignore file so you won't commit it accidentally.
A week ago I bought a used X1 carbon Gen 8 for 1/4th of its original price, he wanted a macbook. I pity him, I love how light weight it is and the keyboard is so satisfying, my previous laptop was Dell 5559. I'm running Arch and no issues and I just love how productive it has been.
Cute, but completely preposterous. Vast numbers of Polish people speak perfect English, including my husband. It’s probably just not commercially interesting to translate and market.
Wait, you didn't like Crystal Chronicles? Maybe I'm just a nostalgic millennial, but I thought the game's aesthetic was pristine and the multiplayer super clever.

It's up there with Pac Man Vs. for that sort of thing.

It's a bit more complicated than it seems to do logging efficiently, though. Higher levels of logging really do slow you down -

Eliminating scarcity requires unlimited and easily accessible resources i.e. energy. We are hundreds to thousands of years away from this point.

You are otherwise describing a barter meritocracy, which is dystopian :(
The main thing I was thinking (I don't use Python myself) was that it's super-popular right now, and fits in the realm of 'a scripting language'. I'm loathe to recommend bash for what I hope are obvious reasons, and I have worked in and detested Perl. I prefer Ruby for small bits of scripting this and that, but chose Python because of it's popularity.
Yep, that's exactly what I was after. Tried a few google searches but it was just bringing up tools to test DNS propagation.
I just hate that rhetorical game of "well, prima facie I meet your standard so what's the problem?" You met the standard before too, obviously that's not the problem
Mozilla never seemed to get out of that "the user is an idiot, best ignored" mindset even as their market share falls lower than a vendor-specific mobile browser. It's mind-boggling how just about everyone except the people calling the shots in that org can point out the problem.
This is roughly like saying that the Republicans in Congress aren't denouncing the Capitol rioters. My point about progressive cities is that a portion of the leadership is afraid of the extremists. Ted Wheeler, the Mayor of Portland, had to run his last election against an actual Stalinist who had very vocal supporters but ultimately not overwhelming numbers on her side. She catalyzed the average Dems to get out and vote for Wheeler, who no one really likes. So what I mean is there's a large silent majority of Dems, if not the leadership, who are rattled by the progressives' increasingly unhinged, illiberal program. Just as I think there's a bulk of Republicans who don't believe in attacking the Capitol.
It sounds like if you could heat things to a higher temperature while keeping costs the same or slightly higher it would probably improve things then? That's useful to know.
It's a set of machines which, in the event of all Russian command being killed or cut off, will commence with nuclear launch. There are humans in the loop, but it's designed to account for the possibility of humans being neutralized. It's the "assurance" part of mutually assured destruction.

According to Russian leadership, it serves as more of an organizational ideal which their military uses in consideration of strategy. It was still in operation as of 2018, but hasn't been confirmed or denied in public since (Dead Hand. )
Surviving Without a PostgreSQL Superuser – Part One
couldn't figure out what there deal is as far as freelance work from their site - what's their approach?
In a properly designed system, it should be perfectly safe. The problems come from how the log input is processed. If all you're doing is appending it to a file or adding a row to a database table, that should be no problem.

In the database case it's no different to adding any other record supplied by the user. In the case of a file, consideration has to be given about what assumptions other tools that process that file may make - e.g. if they assume one record per line, then the data should be escaped appropriately (simple approach is to use JSON string escaping, or just make the whole log entry a JSON object).

If the logging system is built by someone who thought it was a good idea to parse the string, use the result to make network requests, and then executing arbitrary code based on the data received over the network, then all bets are off.
„ Also, we can't be sure about whole scenario. There're reports that indicates this RCE is still possible in 2.15+ RCs builds, so there is a chance there are also other gateways to achieve the same effect.”
Taxpayers paid zero. What year exactly were taxes tripled to cover the amount loaned? Never? It didn't happen.

Taxpayers realized significant profits on the loans, since by law Fed profits past a small amount return to Treasury, which offsets taxes.
432 vs 440 Hz in music is the equivalent of the C++ vs Java battle. Vivaldi was a proponent of 432 Hz, so it's only when he died, newthinkers had recalibrated pianos to 440 Hz. I believe the newthinkers are simply lacking taste, and rounding 432 to 440 is same as chopping off a chunk of Parthenon to "fix" its proportions from the golden phi ratio to 3/2.
Gaetz and Bannon say 'shock troops' should take over gov“t if Trump wins in 2024
Based on the page in the OP, the SF Painted Ladies are about as opposite of a stroad as possible.... No strip malls, giant park across the street, houses all around, low speed limit, characteristic narrow SF street/road... How does that fit the graphic in the OPs link?
think about the complexity involved in a modern backend. those log messages are flowing through logging libraries and a local syslog at an absolute minimum. more exotic setups involve consolidators, indexing/searching, user interfaces that may be controlled by any number of operators. moreover, those who use these tools typically have the keys to the kingdom for their respective environments.
> just a wrapper around printf which adds a timestamp and a log-level

That's a pretty naive view of what's needed in an enterprise logging solution.

logging to files, separate logging, remote logging, log rotation, logging 3rd party code...

Of course if you're simply sending lines to the terminal in a simple program you don't need log4j.

But once you scale, you'd be spending 3 weeks implementing what you get for free in log4j.

Been playing halo for 20 years.

Infinite is amazing if you’re a fan. Campaign is unreal. I feel like I’m playing a Halo RPG.

Halo 5 was The Last Jedi of the franchise.

Halo Infinite saves the property.

Anyone can make a laundry list of complaints but seriously, after 2 weeks of multiplayer and 24 hours of campaign, I don’t care. At my age it’s just not that big a deal.

Thank you, 343.
This sounds great. Why hasn’t it been done before? It seems pythonic.
Ah, you're right. I thought Poetry had adopted PEP 621 already, but it looks like there's still a debate about if/how they want to do that. A bit ironic considering the author of Poetry was listed as an author on PEP 621, and that was accepted just over a year ago.

Organic carrots at Whole Foods in NYC are about $1/lb which is slightly less than the average price in France. Food is VERY cheap in the US.
Drive over the meridian, gouge the greenway, and leave tire streaks repeatedly. Then have a friend take pictures and start bugging your local politicians about the lack of consistent access. Have them make the point that paying to continually clean up after people will cost more than putting in a comfortable number of access openings. They'll be able to fix it and look like they're saving the city money at the same time, everybody wins.
Which is why they removed the functionality in the latest version (per comments below) right?

Strong Town's argument is that some of these suburbs will be successful in encouraging mixed-use development and in doing so will expand their tax bases. But most of the others will fail and decline.

ST are quite explicit that they mostly don't think that retrofitting suburbs should be a focus, because they believe that most of these will go bankrupt anyway, given a sufficient amount of time (because of too much infrastructure liability compared to the tax base), and indeed this is starting to happen all across the US.
Hence their focus on areas with a solid core already, that should then be strengthened and encouraged to expand organically from there.
regarding 'contraditing everything you know about good design' i feel this way about designing webpages using <table> elements. the constraint really forces you to be creative with using image elements to make everything fit on the page just right. styling with tables used to be popular, but then it went out of fashion, unfortunately. i'd like to see it make a comeback. i'm not being sarcastic either.
imagine you're using stackdriver: how many thousands or millions of lines of code will those log messages touch before they're rendered in browser for someone with sysadmin privileges? how many libraries are just in the web front end they're using?
The GSC improvements aren't just about Amazon and trinkets. Other parts of this iceberg may include standard of living increases across the globe, the ability to open markets in a bidirectional way, global competitiveness, and lowering the barrier to entry for new product prototyping, development, and manufacturing (to name a few). That's also what came next. We have a pretty myopic view of the achievements when we just wonder why we can't get our Amazon trinket shipped faster; that was my point to OP.

Regarding "why...stop there?", I'm not sure anybody has stopped. There are articles ad infinitum about supply chain resiliency bouncing around for the last year or so. No doubt the world had prioritized lower cost over resiliency. But why design a feature into a system if nobody values it? When people ascribe a critical level of value to a feature, it gets built. Seems like the planetary population of concerned individuals is thinking about it, and the wake-up calls have been coming in, right?
The sales deck *is* the manifesto
> Some of the prior employees enjoyed playing with advanced language features and writing libraries for the most general possible case even when that made it hard to understand how they were used for the 2 actual cases we needed to handle. Akka, Cats, and Shapeless were all over the place.

This hurts me a lot
I completely agree with their pragmatic approach to Scala. Scala is a very powerful language, and you can do super crazy stuff. My approach to writing Scala code is similar:

1. Write the code like a better-Java/typesafe-Python (that is, imperative style).

2. Glance through the code. For collections, usually there's a more concise approach.

3. Read the code again. If you think what you did in #2 is making the code _too_ concise, you might need to think twice (or add comments).
Scientists solve the grass leaf conundrum
It’s about time. You are charged fees to download files but once you do you could share them for free, post them anywhere and such since it’s public record. The search engine is also this horrendous contraption that charges you based on the number of search results returned.

The whole thing is a horror show and glad to see this on the path to being shut down for good. A public S3 bucket with logically named file prefixes and some simple search on top could literally replace this whole hot mess overnight.
I watch Wendover on mute with subtitles sometimes so clearly you're wrong.

That the narration is good quality is a bonus. Calling it shallow and "one google search away" (parent) is absurd, his videos take weeks of research.

It's okay not to like the channel but know your criticisms.
I think you're referring to sovereign immunity.

That doesn't apply to FOIA cases as the law gives a statutory right to sue.

Also, the lab animal telomere issue has corrupted almost all animal studies in the last 50 years, but there doesn't seem to be any effort to correct course, or even to acknowledge the problem.
Because what they have flowing in abundance is a loss in many other ways. Public transit is a generally a worse experience in all but the most urban of places, and even then there's often enough problems that make it significantly less desirable. Biking in the winter? Doable, but also pretty miserable in much of the world.

People like personal transportation and big detached houses with yards. Car-centric cities are the price we pay for these things. Personally I think it's worth the trade-off, I would have spent the same money on my 2000sqft house as a <400sqft apartment, and having kids and a dog would have been entirely impractical.
People should really have known better than to use (unexpected!) in-band signalling. Even 8 years ago.

For containers that's especially true because the best practice is just to write to stdout/stderr. This sidesteps a whole host of issues related to dealing with log files.
Cancer as entropy- the plot thickens
One nuance this article doesn't do a good job of explaining: the majority of sex trafficking cases that are encountered are situations where an underage teenager seeks out sex work (the median age cited in the article is 17).

Obviously there is a lot of nuance here - some were groomed, some volunteered, lots were in bad family situations and got exploited.

But even in terrible situations like this, it is not a stranger being grabbed of the street.
please ignore my comment on the version, agwa is right, update the library or delete the vulnerable class.
I'd guess they'd appreciate signal reports from anyone who can't transmit (yet). Esp. from anyone with access to a big antenna!

Didn't find a mention of transmit power... found this online: "Full licence Maximum UK licence power of upto 400 watts can be used and all UK amateur radio band allocations available." Would be useful to know for anyone considering listening in N. America.

Tragic story – AWS hacked account
My son got into an accident last August and suffered a severe traumatic brain injury that left him hospitalized for months.

In that time, I received an email from AWS warning me that my account had been hacked.

It goes without saying that I didn't check my emails daily when my son was dying.

That very small account (*$20/month) turned into several thousand dollars.

I contacted AWS for assistance. Although they acknowledged that my account had been hacked, they refused to waive the bill and demanded full payment.

If you were in my position, what would you do?
Btw Fox is covering this story! Very predictable.
Does Brave have their own extension repository yet, or are they still leaving that all up to Google? I don't see much value in Brave supporting a feature dropped from Chrome if it only has Chrome extensions and they all drop support for it anyway.
What if you are using SLF4J as a front-end to log4j, does it escape these special strings before passing them to the logging system?
Sure, just like AMP was to make the web faster.

What Google says vs what's going on aren't necessarily the same thing, they have a long history of selling us the 'for your convenience' line while removing functionality that people depended on but that ultimately hurt Google's business interests: to be able to force feed you more ads.

They have long outlived their credit in the bank of the benefit of the doubt.

IMO this is a question of ignorance. Most Americans simply don't understand that there are (far superior) alternatives to car-dependent suburbia. It's just not on their radar.

Hopefully channels like "Not Just Bikes" and our own social dissemination of the walk/bike/transit oriented urban development model will allow more Americans to understand what they're missing.

Once enough people in a given urban area realize what they could have, perhaps the political will to improve will materialize.

Cultural-scale planning and prediction are hard.

Things move slowly and gradually until they suddenly don't. Much of the infrastructure presently dominant in the US dates to 1960/1970, and depending on where specifically you were in the country before then, things changed in a pretty major way with the birth of the Interstate Highway System (1960s), urban flight and suburban development (1950s), WWII (1940s), the Great Depression (1930s), and the first really big mechanisation and electrification drive (1910s--1920s).

Starting somewhere around 1960--1970, things levelled off. No major wars, no major economic disruptions, and for the most part no major new landscape-transforming technological inventions. (For those looking to criticise, note the key word major, which is not a synonym for any.)

I'd argue that things began shifting by 2001 with 9/11, the 2007--8 global financial crisis, the 2016 election, mobile + social + algorithmic Internet hitting critical mass, and since late 2019, the COVID-19 global pandemic, now entering its third year. Climate change impacts are also likely to be felt increasingly, with Blade Runner skies over much of the West Coast of the US being one interesting sign that the future has arrived.

Transformational change is a bit like going broke: it happens slowly at first, then suddenly.
I absolutely agree that providing a tool to _assert_ stability (just like usual @assert) would be great. We thought about it when writing the paper but never got to device anything like that. For smooth integration, that would probably require hacking on Julia itself.

There's many papers showing similar. (My personal favorite is https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scitranslmed.aaw8412 where they removed the claimed target for various cancer therapies and many still worked)

If you've ever been within a mile of a research lab this shouldn't be remotely shocking. Typical research is done rapidly, sloppily, and in a context where getting the "right" answer is the only incentive.

The replication crisis that hit psych is only being held back by (IMO) that bio is harder to replicate due to tooling, protocols, reagents, cell lines, etc.

In complex systems you have the degrees of freedom to be wrong at a scale that folks still do not appreciate.
