The fact that the first argument is interpreted as a format string even when you aren't supplying format arguments is a violation of 'principle of least surprise'. The availability of format parameters that can access environment data - let alone remotely loaded code - is a feature most people won't discover unless they go looking for it.
I think we should be more positive about such research (it helps us to further our understanding of COVID-19), there are many other studies that show bad outcomes for those who are obese and this paper suggests a mechanism for the poor outcomes.

That paper shows nearly 3x the hazard ratio for ICU admission and death for the most obese people which is terrifying!

For all the people in the “transitory camp” here are a few things I would like you to reconsider:

- “underlying supply chain will go back normal” well the way I see it the container owners and everyone downstream have no incentives for doing so. [1]

- China is facing water crisis among many other issues from
energy crisis as well. If the main supplier of US faces crisis it will likely affect US as well. [2]

- and many actually don’t understand this, Fed actually has incentives to get inflation. For many years they spent time to get inflation and recently even accepted they will let it run beyond the benchmark 2%. Part of the argument is Fed currently has no leverage or tools left in an economic downturn given the amount of debt in the balance sheet. A mere 5% raise in interest rate would require interest payment equivalent of another US army. So rate hikes of any substantial measure is out of question without bankrupting US. The easiest way is to inflate the 40 trillion debt away like they did post war in the 40s. [3]

One thing I sometimes wonder is: if there was a dinosaur species which had reached roughly our level of intelligence and society, would they have left enough of a mark on the world that we could even tell?

If they got further than us, tried to capture an asteroid and mine it, could they have wiped themselves out without leaving behind technosignatures that would still be visible?
Specifically which of these assurances are you saying will be broken?

Indeed, that is the answer. People need something that they can relate to, otherwise they will just shrug and move on. This is why in all sci-fi movies about the far future, that future in many ways always looks suspiciously like today; it is not for the lack of imagination on the part of the author, the goal here is precisely to leave some points of reference and prevent the audience from losing interest. (Hidden advertisement and product placement plays not a small role here as well.)
I'm working on a PoC static SQL query builder using generics, but it's pretty opinionated and kinda assumes that the binary is controlling the DB, instead of the DB being independently managed. And since it's static, it would generate every possible reachable permutation at compile time, so yeah :/

EDIT: Now that I think about it, you could have a partially dynamic query that's still statically checked: new WHERE conditions don't change the structure of the query, so as long as they're valid (which can be statically checked) they can be added to the query without changing the type. Same for e.g. ORDER BY or LIMIT. That would make the combinatorial explosion much more manageable, and it would actually represent different code paths (requesting a different set of fields).
My experience:

1) scared of taking meds (this was very hard to overcome, but a doctor friend's reassurance helped me make that leap)
2) continuing to take them even when they don't seem to help much in first few weeks. (this was hard too)
3) the improvements were gradual, but the darkness ended for me about 4 weeks in.
4) kept regular touch with my doctor to see if adjustment was needed
5) 10 years on, darkness rarely return.

Hope this helps.
With Svelte, I just maintain a small reset file and maintain a list of native CSS variables that I can use from my Svelte components.

I have not personally found the need to use Tailwind because of that.
I think a lot about the right to be a monk. It solves a lot of other human rights issues along the way. Monks create their own food, have a place to live and work, and don't cost a lot of money. Let people monk.
Please don’t argue with people who are either not here or have not expressed any opinion yet. You are literally strawmanning. Argue with actual people and their actual opinions instead of made-up stereotypes.
the english were the first big abolitionists at that time (after Adam S.) and even considered bad influence in other colonies like in the caribbean. They knew they dont needed slavery to have slaves, so to speak..
Interesting, I've never heard of it called deep canvassing but it's something I'd been aware of for a long time. That essentially you can't get what you want through arguing. It's much more effective to act with patience, and in time either both people will compromise or one will accept the others idea as if it was their own.
My last headlight cost me $30 for my ‘83 Toyota pickup.

Seriously, screw every single automaker today. They have zero respect for their customers by making parts that expensive to replace.

Does usury have a analogy for physical items?
Sleep schedule is important as is sleep hygiene. Going to bed late and staying in bed is not good. I understand the biological reality of depression makes getting out of bed difficult but force yourself up. Sunlight early in the day is good. Go for walks. Exercise is helpful. Avoid bad habits. You know what they are. It takes time for meds to work; give it a month at least. Good luck.

I'm not 100% knowledgeable on the topic but wasn't the issue with (A)GPL that even linking libraries in the runtime to your project would mean that your project can't be proprietary?

With EUPL this doesn't seem to be the case:

From https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/collection/eupl/news/eupl-and-pr...

> This makes no obstacle for linking Code A with another software component (Code B) that could be proprietary. There is no kind of “viral effect” resulting from the EUPL licence, in so far linking is done for interoperability. The portions of Code A that are strictly necessary for interoperability may be reproduced in Code B without copyright infringement. The resulting “A-B solution”, which could be commercial, will include the two modules under their relevant licences. This is resulting from interpreting European law and case law[1].

Considering the diff between a pc and ps5 is fairly minimal other than the storage i/o. PCs are already 1-2 gens ahead in CPU and GPU. Any sort of optimizations/tweaks they make for the PS5 are going to be on the PC very quickly as the archs are basically the same. Now I own a lot of different consoles and have in the past built my own PC. However, these days the difference between gaming on a console and PC is so 'same' I have not bothered to buy this generation of consoles (I usually get 30-50 games for each console and generation). The switch is probably the most innovative for this generation. With the xbox and ps5 being hardware locked PC's and some interesting exclusives. But it looks like I am going to be buying uncharted 4 again :)
who, how or why does it matter if that was the concept or is just a side effect?
The Snap-On F50CSA driver handle. It's a 3/8" drive driver handle with the socket cap in the head so it can be used as an extension. I bought one off the Snap-On truck back in like 1994 or so and it's been my favorite hand tool ever since. Sadly they don't make this model anymore, so if I ever lose mine then I'm stuffed. Well, maybe you could find a used one on Ebay or whatever, but it would probably cost out the yazoo.

“In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.” — Dwight D. Eisenhower

"No plan survives the first shot of the battle".

So, sure, the plans will likely not survive in any detail even a decade from now.

But the fact that they are making plans, attempting to understand the considerations of those future generations, understand what strategic goals need to be worked on now to help that, and more — this is critical.

I contrast, western politics and decision making tends to focus on considerations that are at best hot for the next election cycle.

And notice that the US is not now trying to return manufacturing home because of long-term plans, but because the people noticed that the bargain of cheap goods from China doesn't mean much when you exported the job. The fact that China now makes and has access to key components in some key military systems and that needs to be reversed barely enters the mind of the electorate.
On Windows even splitting arguments is done as part of the application (WinMain, for example, gets a single string, which is not something glued together by below-WinMain code but how processes work on Windows, also CreateProcess and other process-creation APIs need a single command line). SSHv2 has a similar quirk where the command line for request_exec is just one string and gets executed using <user's shell> -c <string goes here>, which makes the exact semantics dependent on the shell set for the user. This might have been an attempt at lowest-common-denominator engineering for Windows.

Overall Windows command line is and always was broken and unsound due to being based on the flawed DOS batch model.
> they just cost money - some businesses choose not to spend that money, some weight cost-benefit and go for AWS, some weigh cost benefit and decide to go for in house, some go for hosted Virtual Servers, some go for Serverless.

I'd also say some choose not to spend the money, but fail to consider the cost of that choice.

For example: Doing old-school manual deployments that require herculean efforts to update at off-hours on the weekends burns people out, and makes it hard to attract new talent. In other words, you've made the decision to spend more money on finding and retaining people. But it's definitely way cheaper to pay for colocating a single Dell server you bought 3 years ago than what you'd spend in the same time on AWS.

And if your hardware never dies, paying for the redundancy might seem silly. A lot like paying for fire insurance despite the fact your house has never even burned down.
Here is a example from NBC[0].

The headline is: "No, the COVID-19 vaccine does not cause myocarditis", the content does not line up with the assertion the headline makes and sort of weasel words it's way to "well it does but less then Covid", but most people just read the headline. I think media like this is what confused people to think: "the COVID-19 vaccine does not cause myocarditis".

I've heard similar assertions on shows like The View and Good Morning America, but I don't have clips.

> That probably means the middling ones who just need a hand to get them over a hurdle, not the checked-out ones and not the superstars.

From my experience the middling ones are exactly the students who have the highest cost/benefit ratio. The checked out ones are the students who could have a small amount of attention to get them over a hurdle that’s completely blocking them, which caused them to check out. Maybe you find out they are dyslexic. Or you find out they are not eating breakfast or lunch after a short conversation. Or you find out they’re checked out because they’re bullied. A small change here can yield a drastic improvement.

The middling ones are usually performing at their highest cylinder and still not doing great, so it takes a lot of work to convince them to apply themselves even more.

TLDR; it’s easier to get a student from F to C than from C to A.

All depends on what’s important to you in that startup context. If you need a good mix of high productivity and low costs on the server side I think go is a good fit.

If you don’t care so much about costs and scale on the server side then something like Ruby on Rails might give you that extra productivity boost you need to verify the concept.

Utility can be intrepret in many ways. Look at the social sciences and how they see minorities, e.g. disabled people. From the social scientist's view, one "utility" of these people is that they stabilize societies because they trigger empathy, which would otherwise be largely missing in a society that only aims for optimization. I want to emphasize that I find it generally humilitating to talk about utility and humans in one and the same sentence.
> If you look into street epistemology, it's similar to what I was doing.

I don't see that what you were doing is all that close to what they do in street epistemology. Sure, you're both canvasing, and you're both attempting it instill doubt in people by asking questions, but the SE folks are trying to teach people better epistemological skills to evaluate any belief they hold or claim they come across. You were just attempting to fill the doubt void with some new claim, without teaching the people you talked to anything about how to evaluate the truth of a claim.
Because of ergonomics. When you watch something on TV and movies you want your actors to do exaggerated movements to really capture the attention of the audience. But when you operate a computer you want your movements to be as little as possible or else you quickly get RSI.

Edit:

It’s also worth adding that SciFi operating systems are not general purpose ones. They’re designed around a specific function, a function that’s typically integral to the plot.

Yeah. I know VB gets a lot of derision in these parts, but Visual Studio community edition is free, and .NET is free. So it's totally free to write applications with.
Seems like bullshit. I know there are some pieces of software that can bypass CAPTCHA at a low success rate but certainly not at a high enough rate to be a bother, especially when the CAPTCHA settings are turned up (e.g. multiple challenges in a row).
No one said followers have no moral responsibility.

It's fine if it's one morality for everyone. It's just that as an individual with little power, the pursuit of that morality will involve very different actions than for individuals with a lot of power in relevant areas.
Saving the Shuttle Simulator
The article mentions that Go, OCaml, or a compiled lisp were considered for this project. I wonder why Rust wasn't on that list. It seems to cover every concern that is raised here except for keyword arguments (which are high on my list of desired Rust features too).

I guess maybe they were worried about the lack of GC, but my experience has been that's it's generally quite easy to port code from dynamic languages like Python/JS/PHP to Rust. So I suspect that may have gone into their "Expected problems that weren’t" section if they'd tried it.
Some advice about anti-depressants.

It takes a few weeks for anti-depressants to work. Also, you will probably need to vary the dose or try a few different meds. You should check in with your doc maybe three or four weeks in and increase the dose if it isn't working. The general effect that anti-depressants have is similar in most people but people experience different side effects so "best practice" involves keeping in touch with your doc and trying a few things until you find a good fit. This one works better than most others

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venlafaxine

but I can't tolerate it because it makes my blood pressure go to 200/130. After a few years my doc suggested I stopped taking them, and tapered gradually. Depression and anxiety haven't dominated my life since then but I certainly did have some incidents like the day I couldn't stand the mess in the house, yelled at everyone in the family, and I got 40,000 steps cleaning without leaving the house. And that time I read a Robert Greene book, broke my gym bag hauling home most of the references home from the library, put it into practice, and got into some real misadventures.

Physical exercise, particularly cardio, is great by itself or as an adjunct to other treatment. When I was suffering from depression and unemployed I was doing two hours of cardio most days and it helped me get through. That's the kind of workload people do when they are training for a marathon and it might be too much for most people. Around 45 min to 1 hour you get a burst of endorphins which is powerful.

Some people find socializing with people is more satisfying than doing solitary things. I'm the other way, but instead of pushing yourself to do solitary things you should try to do more things with other people if that works for you.

Totally. Media coverage is why I suddenly started falling asleep during my work day and why my sense of smell and taste are still screwed up a year later. I can't taste oranges, cannot stand the smell or taste of tap water, and my office smells like an ash tray because CNN and MSNBC, and not because there's actually an issue. One of the very best ways to be insulting on this sort of an issue is to tell people that what they're experiencing is a fabrication of a media conspiracy that doesn't exist.
"main stream media" is also a radical right calling card. There are nothing good that comes out of using MSM and assorted catch phrases.

Big fan of Chomsky, but his usage of the term mainstream media is not what that term has been co-opted to mean by some of the various forces he has, and is, warning us about.
> “I can/can’t see the sun anymore” depends on local weather

For anyone wanting to know a bit more about why this is, here's some additional details:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sj868IzNrk

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_refraction

Technically, one might also argue something weird like, "If I can see sunlight, it's still daytime" in which case a different phenomina would come into play:

https://www.atoptics.co.uk/highsky/zod1.htm

What this all comes down to is, roughly speaking, even after the sun has technically set, there's still a bit of leeway before we no longer see the sun/sunlight due additional factors.
During the cold war KGB agents used Mount Athos as a route into the west. Orthodox monks would get visa and eventually citizenship in Greece when they moved to live in Mount Athos. Russian Orthodox church was controlled by the KGB and the Soviet State, so it was easy for them to send spies as bearded monks who would leave after getting citizenship.
Extradition treaties are carefully worded, but yes, they are rooted in power politics.

Even the variable interpolation is a security risk.

If I have the ability to trigger execution of a process on some service, and one of the things it does is return me the logs form that process, it might be somewhat surprising to the host of that process that if I can pass in "${java:vm}" as input, the logs might leak information about what version of the JVM it's running...

What else might you be able to get a system to leak to you if you can control input and read log output?
I assume you mean mutable data, and yes, mutable data is easy in CL. But at the same time immutable data is not hard; it's just not the automatic default.

This is really geeky, but I've taken the short trip cross the sound to Copenhagen at least three times in the last five years to have a weekend with me, myself and my laptop. Smoke weed, eat and drink hotel food and hack away at my hobby project. I've never felt so refreshed and happy than after a weekend like that. Highly recommend it.
It's also why Russia's October Revolution of 1917 happened on November 7th. The state officially switched a year later, and November 7th = October 25th in the Old Style calendar. Wonderfully confusing.
It is a culture problem, but it goes back before phones and Javascript.

Even before that, application design was usually terrible. Apps were almost universally ugly. Developers just aren't very good at it; it's not in their skill sets. They're good at making apps fast and small, but not at making them usable.

Rare companies would hire separate designers, and the apps could be functional and attractive, but they were the exception. It was a lot of money for something generally considered ancillary.

Browser-based apps get to leverage the work done by browser makers, who put in the effort to make toolkits that looked nice by default. They're not small or fast -- though Moore's Law has made them usable anyway. They also favor the things that designers like -- including not overwhelming the user with dense information. You can still use them badly, but by default any programmer can make an app that isn't awful.

There never was a golden age when developers made good, small, fast apps. It was usually a "pick two" situation, except by spending a lot of money. I'm just as happy to let my battery scream and not cringe at every single app that comes up, and so cheaply that they can give it away or cost dollars rather than tens or hundreds. Others disagree, of course, but I think the market tends to show a heavy thumb on one side of that scale.
