You don't know what my world consists of, so I'm not sure where that comment comes from.

My comment was addressing the general sentiment from the GP regarding the potential presence of bugs in software, not the log4j issue in particular-- plenty if other have done that and I won't rehash it.

And of course your comment seems to ignitre the part of mine where I say that rolling your own version of something can be okay, but it's a decision to be made very carefully, along with my implication that trivial things are a different category. (your printf straw man would be about as trivial as it gets, so you're not making a string argument against my comment here)

And this is not just for issues of bugs, but also time and resources. Why spend your time writing a complex library for something that is not part of the core of your business if a well established OSS alternative that has had countless eyes reviewing the codebase, and it can do all you need? I don't go rewriting grep or other utilities. I don't roll my own equivalent of a nearly decade old library like python Requests. I use well established tools from trusted sources and then get down to my real work.

This is pretty much how most professions go about their jobs: use established tools, get to work. If there's a difference it's that many other engineering disciplines have had more than ~75 years to refine their established processes and basic tools.
Facts and proofs are more interesting that unproven (and sometimes unprovable) ideas.

Don't blame the user for what is essentially Amazon's problem. They don't have a way to set a hard limit on spend. They don't even do basic velocity tracking apparently.
All this analysis and commentary and he can't see the forest from the trees. He breaks one of the most important rules in writing: when using an uncommon acronym, in this case "RC", one should _always_ provide the full name for it first before using the acronym, i.e. in this case writing "Recourse (RC)", then one can continue to use the acronym. I shouldn't have to click RC to figure out what it is. Infuriating.

Tenth Circuit Upholds Conviction on Evidence Gathered Under Section 702 of FISA
Standard rust marketing, it's a bit tedious tbh, and I don't think anyone who is honest is surprised any more. Everything is "lightning fast" by default just because it compiles to native. I thought we were past that. Never mind that you can write crap code in any language (not making any comment about the editor's author here).

Exactly, fatalism achieves nothing. Worse, it actually makes people feel powerless and powerless people tend to just ignore their issues rather than solving them.

There's every reason to be optimistic and interested in this topic for investors and hackers. There are smart people all over the world doing some real problem solving and a lot of the solutions are a combination of highly profitable and disruptive.

Bird populations declining is a complex problem that has a few root causes of which intensive farming is the obvious number 1 to address. Intensive farming needs to be disrupted in a profitable way so we can replace it with something less likely to destroy what remains of our planet (much of it has already been transformed into desert) and actually turn around that process. Plenty of interesting companies in this space. Also plenty of money being invested. Here. More of that and less of the dooms day thinking.

In the US one form of intensive, large scale farming that is worth addressing is corn production. Corn syrup is not a thing that you need in a balanced diet. It's bad for you. There's no reason to keep on subsidizing corn production the way the US currently does that results in industries emerging to find uses for all the subsidized corn. Corn syrup, bio fuels, animal food, etc. are all things that are made with corn that are probably doing more harm than good. Simply putting a stop to that would improve people's health and free up a lot of land for more productive and less destructive purposes. Whether it is forestry, organic farming, or even having sheep/cows graze on the land, it's all better than over fertilizing and eroding the soil in order to produce corn.

Yup, expect a downvote for this comment too. And it is ok. Comments should add something. A "plus one" is insufficient and can just be an upvote. Conversely, a plus one with an anecdote or link to data or similar content is usually well received.

As for the comment that got downvotes above, the general view is that low hanging humor will degrade the site experience and I agree. Slashdot was a popular tech site but you could always expect upvotes for "first post," or "i for one welcome our new humor-avoiding overlords." A lot of quality slipped over time.

No, Bitcoin just died the same deflation death that the gold standard died from.

It's just that Bitcoin's supply was even less flexible than gold so everything happened much quicker. After all, when the economy got bigger, people dug out more gold which kept the supply of money slightly above the bare minimum necessary to run an economy. That wasn't always possible in the short term. If people literally hoarded gold then miners wouldn't be able to keep up with the demand leading to a recession over the short term.

Meanwhile the Bitcoin economy is in recession for at least a decade. The only part that is still alive is the Bitcoin mining industry.

>Without abstraction, there is no human society to speak of

I'm appalled that such a quote could be used to support such an argument. Grandparent, and Pratchett's Death, agree that humans and human society are supposed to support humans. Grandparent maintains, quite correctly, that our current society is, in fact, tooled to support abstract concepts like "valuation" and "wealth creation" instead of things like clean nutritive food and safe affordable shelter and supportable realistic hope -- and the biosphere itself that serves as backdrop, stage, and audience all in one.

Whether unintentionally or otherwise, the parent is missing the point. The grandparent doesn't argue against abstraction itself, but the reification of corporations as people, the conflation of the stock market as barometer of the economy, and enablers of all this in ostensibly benevolent governments.

If one chose the read the rest of the fucking book, one would see that it's all about fighting against those who would use human frailties -- like greed, and desperation, and the smallness of our own perspective -- to trick humans into destroying that which makes life worth living. Of course, it's all couched in the supernatural trappings of the Discworld, but as Prachett points out in several Discworld book intros, the Disc is a "world and mirror of worlds". On Earth, the antagonistic Auditors have names and addresses...

His paintings were more overlooked than “not liked”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Vermeer#Legacy:

“Originally, Vermeer's works were largely overlooked by art historians for two centuries after his death. A select number of connoisseurs in the Netherlands did appreciate his work, yet even so, many of his works were attributed to better-known artists such as Metsu or Mieris“

His financial problems also were at least in part because he was unlucky. As an art dealer, he sat on paintings he couldn’t sell because of the Franco-Dutch War (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-Dutch_War). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Vermeer#Wars_and_deat...:

“In a petition to her creditors, his wife later described his death as follows:

...during the ruinous war with France he not only was unable to sell any of his art but also, to his great detriment, was left sitting with the paintings of other masters that he was dealing in. As a result and owing to the great burden of his children having no means of his own, he lapsed into such decay and decadence, which he had so taken to heart that, as if he had fallen into a frenzy, in a day and a half he went from being healthy to being dead.”

(That wife gave him 15 children, 11 of which lived long enough to be baptized, so yes, that might have been an expensive family to run)

I doubt this subset of a subset of voters had any meaningful impact on the result. The only political parties to espouse this view were the (very small and fringe) BNP and Respect parties.

> On the other hand, you might define a function as a triple (D, R, f)

That's also the approach in Functional Analysis. Depending on how you choose D and R, some fundamental properties of the function change, e.g. bijectivity. Therefore specifying the sets is strictly speaking not optional.

The proper function definition in the other formalism would be rather:

f: D -> R: ...
I don't recall Apple buying anything two decades ago -- communication patents much less -- Jobs was still busy cutting fat at Apple around that time. Are you talking about the wireless patents bought from the Nortel Bankruptcy in 2012, via Rockstar Consortium to which both Apple and Microsoft were founding members?

Sure, cross-licensing can sometimes be used as a negotiation chip in different situations, but, considering what Samsung and LG, who are among the top LTE patent holders were getting in return for cross-licensing with QUalcomm, I doubt that Infineon's patent portfolio was much of value. Also remember that the wireless SEP royalties are collected at the end of the supply-chain, ie, handset OEMs -- Qualcomm is not a handset OEM and has little or nothing to gain from such negotiation. Infineon's patents had very limited utility (and I'm pretty sure Apple's lawyers knew that too).

And Apple was the largest stakeholer in the Rockstar Consortium and, from the very getgo, Apple never intended to use them as a defense against Qualcomm (or any potential patent lawsuit). The Rockstar was a patent troll operation concocted by Apple to harasse Apple's competitors -- ie, Google and Android OEMs. It's just too bad that, despite Judge Gilstrap's heroic defiance to keep the case in Texas, judge Wilkens in the California court correctly saw through Apple's garbage and brought back the case home where all parties and witnesses, including Apple, would have been required to testify. Of course, the Rockstar dropped the lawsuit like a rock to prevent public disclosure of Apple's shenanigan.

Having observed Apple's lawsuits past 10+ years, I think it's silly to describe Apple's patent strategy as anything other than "predatory;" I certainly wouldn't call it "defensive."

Could you explain why piping `ls` is so bad? Thanks!
To me, absolutely. To people of a different political persuasion, it's dependent on the color of your skin and how many political points can be scored on the basis of your relative suffering compared to those that are not coming from predominantly "white, European" countries (regardless of how white they may actually be), not the facts of your circumstance.

The plight of a progressive Nigerian immigrant whose family was extremely wealthy prior to immigration is worth more than your story in today's climate.

Again your taking things to unreasonable extremes, plenty of economists think GDP is good enough to be useful. Which means it’s informing their decisions or it wouldn’t be useful.

You can’t say measure X is useful, and it’s flaws are well known therefore it’s flaws are irrelevant. If it’s useful then it’s flaws are part of any decision made using it.
At my job in Middle East, my British Boss gave me a pdf poster about having some dimensions labeled in INCHES, but in Hindi language (the main language of labour on the ground). I asked him why this word (his google translation for inches) means IN in English? What happened, he input IN in the box, assuming IN as inches, where as IN means like in the water, in the box etc. Hindi doesn't have exact word for INCHES, its always just literal transliteration. My boss said, why would google do this, everybody knows INCHES are written as IN.
>> Experts believe that habitat loss due to agricultural development and
intensification is most likely the driving factor.

Yet the article suggests a number of things for individuals to do, such as
installing window screens or keeping cats at home. Why? If "the driving factor"
of the decline of bird numbers is habitat loss because of agricultural
development, shouldn't concerned individuals be encouraged to take more
productive action, such as lobbying their governments or protesting, maybe, to
stop the intensification of agriculture?

But, instead of doing something that counts, the article suggests doing things
that have the only effect of giving people excuses that they "did what they
could", so that they go on living as before, with a calm conscience, leaving
someone else to figure out how to solve the real problem.

I see this a lot in environmental issues but I don't want to start yet another
flamewar by pointing out obvious examples. It's probably the biggest reason why
most people, who are now convinced that we are destroying the environment, are
sitting on their hands and feeling good with themselves while the world is
burning. Easy solutions that achieve nothing are constantly suggested as "what
you can do", when all "you can do" as an individual amounts to a drop in the
ocean compared to what our entire civilisation must do, collectively.

Without the response to the pandemic. The virus is not responsible for the idiotic shitshow humans put up to "combat" it (spoiler: it didn't work, but at least we can live with it, I guess).
After regulators entered the crypto space, and started prosecuting non-compliant token sale operators, venture capital firms came to dominate early stage crypto investing.

Where before ordinary people could get in on the ground floor of Ethereum, and earn a 1,000X return, the projects that raised capital after the SEC's 2017 entrance (e.g. Avalanche, Solana, Flow) all gave their first round to VC firms, and these firms monopolized all of the ~1,000X returns.

I suspect what happened in crypto is a sped up microcosm of what has happened to the economy at large over the last 100 years.
If you want just one example, the IMF uses GDP data for critical decisions and to measure the results of those decisions.
