Time Travel works by generating a SQL statement or a CTE, which transforms the raw audit events into a snapshot of the table at a point in time with extra columns for the annotations. This feature is currently exposed on the enterprise product through the UI (which exposes a SQL explorer for your warehouse), but we are slowly shifting those features into the GQL API of core (give a table name, get a SQL model). Time travel works on the transaction level so you don’t lose any fidelity.

Optic disks work that way, but highly unlikely for hard drives as the internal chamber requires super clean air without any dust. Latest hard drives over 8TB mostly have adopted helium-sealed chamber, making removable platters even less feasible.
You can't just call something you disagree with pseudoscience. Pseudoscience is when an argument is presented in a way that directly suggests it's a scientific finding, or suggests that it follows the scientific method, but does so only superficially.

No part of this article is intended to mislead you into thinking it's scientific or technical in nature. It is one person's opinion and they are sharing it and there's nothing wrong with that. You can disagree, agree, share your own insights, but calling it pseudoscience is uncalled for.

>If you are interested look for some real course in psychology and learn from there.

There is very little that one can learn from psychology (with respect to this topic) as psychology lacks a great deal of consensus on this and most other subjects, as well as an inability to reproduce a substantial portion of research. Take two different psychology courses related to what the author is discussing and you'll come away with two very different understandings.

Finally I would like to distinguish psychology from psychiatry, as the two are often lumped together, unfairly so.
There seems to be quite the influx of "the shell and terminal emulator, but better" and nobody makes it actually better.

Most of the "upgrades" (since to me, they are not upgrades) revolve around making it pretty or constantly showing irrelevant data or "helpers" on screen.

The downside and upside of a shell is that you need to have a mental map of what you want to do before you can do it. That is not how the current generation seems to approach technology at the foundational level anymore and thus the 'need' for making it pretty and shove potential 'answers' to what you wanted to do in your face is what we get from the 'new' incarnations.

I have no idea if it would actually be better or if it is a discoverability or usability issue, but after learning how to use a shell I personally never found the need for a shell or terminal emulator that does more than accept my commands and show the results. To me, it's almost like it needs to be as close to a system monitor as possible while still allowing high-level interaction with the operating system. Not an 'environment' separate from the system.

It's the same with powershell. I get that it is more of a mini-os inside the os with its own things and data structures passing between commands (which sometimes are actual commands, sometimes are not... and I'm not talking about shell bultins), but if I wanted a REPL I would choose to use a REPL. (but one could argue that a POSIX shell is just as much a REPL shell)

Creating a terminal emulator that 'connects to SSH' is of a similar issue to me. The SSH-client connects to SSH, not the terminal emulator. And the SSH-client runs as a program in the shell in the terminal emulator. You could have some sort of weird GUI-shortcut to open a terminal emulator window or tab, which starts a shell and an SSH-client inside that shell, but what is the point of that if you are going to open a shell anyway? You're essentially adding an extra step (the mouse) where there was none. And now, instead of having the model in your mind where you think "I am going to use an ssh client to connect to an ssh server on a system somewhere" you have the "I click some buttons, fill in a form, and now I am 'on' the other system somehow". The first part is portable as you can swap out the program with another program and your model works, where the second one isn't and you essentially end up remembering waste for every single command that is GUI-fied and you have to think about them in pictures and locations instead of commands and goals.

And now this rant is over before I make it worse.
I agree completely I don’t care if it’s not mainstream. Desktops are usually gaming computers from what I see in my groups no reason to have Linux on there. Linux is on all the servers, most mobile devices, and I mentioned even Sony cameras run Android.

I don’t see any benefit to Linux on desktop being mainstream. I like that it keeps away a lot of users since making things too easy since they’re unwilling to compile from GitHub is a feature, not a bug. It’s a mostly a programmer OS for programmers.
The article doesn't say that it's no worse than a cold. In fact, all signs show that it can be worse than a common cold. This is a non-sequitur.

Not sure if they've changed things because I haven't bought a product from them for almost 10 years, but back then the free option was several releases behind the current offering, and lacking many features. Also, back then there was NO free version of HexRays (a separate product).
Literally just read this exchange in this very thread. I wish you "linux is easy" folks could agree on something for once.

You can work within a niche domain or an applied industry, for which ML/AI is just another tool in the bag (admittedly: sometimes revolutionary, many other times irrelevant); or you may want to do bleeding-edge research, only to find that you just cannot compete against the top dogs (even the wonderful fast.ai couldn’t follow suit without refactoring heavily every six or twelve months). What’s the point, then? Set yourself a clearly interesting and achievable target (learn and find a job, get a paper published, release an applied library, etc.) and a challenging deadline with milestones (say, 3-6-9-12 months). After that, wrap up and move forward or move on.

> If 3-value logic is such a good idea, why doesn't any modern general-purpose language use it?

Most dynamically typed general-purpose languages use a large-number-of-values logic, they just use a different formulation than SQLs 3VL. Particularly, nulls tend to be equal to each other, and only propagate from basic boolean ops where false would, not whenever they are an input. (Though IEEE 754 NaNs, which most use and are another flavor of null-like value, are not equal to each other, and, in the case of quiet NaNs, propagate a lot like SQL nulls through arithmetic operations [though not consistently through other language features].)

Evidence so far suggests Omicron has high rates of reinfection.
I think that for it to really take off someone needs to release a laptop where linux is truly supported over windows, and they maintain, or help maintain, a distro to runs perfectly on that hardware. That's the only way you're going to avoid the driver issues that will ruin the experience for typical users.

I know there are some, like System76 but looking at their site quickly, they start at around $1,000. For the average user that's waaay too high, especially if they can get what they need out of a chromebook.
This is fascinating. From an original source in that article:

> The Regiment 58 Engineers had learned a lot since 1995 about how to avoid detection by U.S. spy satellites. A lot of work was done at night, and heavy equipment was always returned to the same parking spot at dawn so that image analysts would conclude that they had never moved. Piles of sand were shaped to mimic the wind-aligned and shaped dune forms in the area. When cables were laid they were carefully covered and native vegetation replaced to conceal the digging.
NROL-30 on Atlas 5 apparently had a shorter lifetime after the "fix", and that is normally considered a "partial failure".

It varies. I have some writer friends (successful as in multiple books of fiction published, creative writing university teaching gigs, etc.) who don't read at all while they're writing others who do the opposite. I, personally, am always writing something and always reading something. I do need to be careful at times because there are writers with really strong voices who can overpower mine if I'm not conscientious (Kurt Vonnegut and J. D. Salinger have had that effect in the past).

I do keep lists of words and phrases, largely things that it occurs to me that this is the way to describe something I've been having trouble describing, but most of the time I'll keep working at a sentence until it says what I want the way I want it to.

But reading is absolutely essential, and reading to really understand the mechanics of how something works. Francine Prose's Reading Like a Writer is a good introduction to how to do this.

Cynic hat:

Youtube doesn't care about false positives, not even a little bit. If some random Joe with five videos gets run over - the cost is really zero. Not having any support ensured the random Joe won't waste anybody's time and money on something the company doesn't care about. The money comes in from million-subscriber channels carrying ads. The rest can shut up and watch the ads - or just shut up. Youtube is not for Joes with five videos - they are tolerated, but that's all, nothing is optimized for them.
I'm also curious if there is any difference between these two experiences other than the words each person uses to describe their own experience.

I like this definition, even if it overlaps with the PM role. In effective teams I’ve been part of, the PM and engineering leads help each other winnow down the work, with the PM making the final call for priority (except in circumstances where that doesn’t make sense).
I don't get this focus on file size, really. 256 MB is ~0.02% of my current disk space. If the product is fine and the tools the developers choose to build it demand for this space – so it be, I couldn't care less.

Nuclear can't compete on price because it's not subsidized and it's (deliberately or not) a legal and compliance nightmare, not to mention the NIMBY problems it brings.

But if nuclear was getting even a fraction of the money that fossil fuels receives, we would be carbon neutral right now.

You harp on costs, but energy is _always_ expensive, and there is nothing, not even renewables, that will provide the amount of energy that we will need in the coming years anywhere near quickly or efficiently enough.

Nuclear will get cheaper like every other industry does once we create the actual market for it. Right now, we just have decades old reactors on shoestring budgets and scientific studies because _we didn't properly fund it_.

Electric cars alone are predicted to nearly double our energy grid requirements in the next few decades[1]. We're not moving anywhere nearly fast enough with renewables to account for the growth from those vehicles alone.

Greg—the funny thing is that the comment I read the comment where they explain notation differences as sort of saying that Smalltalk is the best thing on the planet and we should all aspire to be Smalltalk. No ambiguity with Smalltalk which is of course the whole point of readable, paintable code. The most easily maintainable code is that which does not need documentation.

On Smalltalk: Objective-C of course aspires to be Smalltalk. It just so happens that it's happy to be a muggle and integrate C as well. Good for us. Use Smalltalk for most things and C where necessary.

For the vast majority of users the OS is just a way to get to the web.

The web (browser) is the OS, but the apps are centralized, incompatible, and primarily SaaS subscriptions (or worse, ad based). Desktop operating systems are primarily thin clients to these services. Native apps on the existing stack are dead outside of a few niche applications. It's why I think Urbit is cool, if you built an OS from first principles to take into account the web what would it look like? It's basically moving the API layer up the stack to include auth and application distribution.
You are right, I came in hot.
Is android or iOS proprietary? The desktop is declining, it’s market share is so bad that windows literally build an android emulator and Linux subsystem. I’d say it’s less on desktop but all the computing is mobile.

It would be better to move away from all OS and just have ISA software.

left-right is the worst of political dichotomies. it provides no purpose other than to arbitrarily divide the world into good vs. bad from the perspective of the viewer. that’s meant to solely benefit politicians, not provide any clarity, because it collapses the acceptable political narratives down into a palatably small set from which the politician can form a base. in short, it’s pure bullshit.

Tape, at least right now, seems to have a pretty steep entry barrier though. Tape drives cost thousands of dollars and each tape itself seems to be fairly expensive too. About $50 for an LTO-7 tape that's 6 TB. That's $8-9 per TB just for the tape. HDDs seem to be around $20-25 per TB.

Need to 300 TB of capacity?

50 tapes at $50 totals $2,500 + a few thousand dollars for the tape drive.

Or you could buy about 12x 18TB external drives for about $450 each totaling $5,400. About the same.
The thing is, vaccines were never advertised as tools to prevent infection. The story has always been that it reduces symptoms and hospitalization, so there are plenty of opportunities for the disease to get “tickets” in the evolution lottery. Between that, the animal reservoirs (COVID can spread to different species), and the millions of people in undeveloped countries who will never get a vax, COVID was guaranteed to mutate no matter what the public policy. Letting it rip is less a strategy and more an acknowledgement of reality.
