Important Discussion on Possible Blitz.js Pivot
Indeed. This comes to mind right away. Question is: are we missing something? Of course, tqdm brings this functionality right into python REPL, which is new and looks great.

pv and tqdm would look even better if they'd be called implicitly (with an opt-out) since I always end up regretting not using pv when my command is taking too long. Too late.
It’s seems like it but it’s not.

The IRB review determination is going to be based on the typology of what you are doing not the internal contents for the most part. Once they decide the level of appropriate review then they will typically look at the ‘details’.
>I don't dispute the possibility of the burns

If you don't, why bring it up? Nothing in your comment is about burns.

The "I'm not saying <something>, but...." is just a roundabout way to imply <something> without being held accountable for saying it directly. Please avoid this in your communication.

> I stopped reading here. The "echo" effect is caused from somebody using speakers instead of headphones

...which is exactly why the OP suggested they use headphones.

The echo appears when they start speaking while other people speak. It doesn't happen when they're on mute. And echo cancellation does a great job if only one person speaks at a time.

But echo cancellation is complicated when a person's speech is mixed with the speakers output. Hence, if you have a bad setup, there's going to be an echo when you speak.

>You could use a pair of $20 earbuds to solve this.

Yes. And? We can't recommend things we like because there are cheaper things?

The author is not writing as an engineer. Also, given the above, I hope you heed your own advice.

Before criticizing physicists you should keep this in mind.
We have systems still using 1.2.x. Do you think if they closed the doors today, the problem would magically disappear? We'd have it ripped out of circulation, replaced by christmas, and everything would be magically easy?

There's an old joke, goes something like: “Recently, I was asked if I was going to fire an employee who made a mistake that cost the company $600,000. No, I replied, I just spent $600,000 training him. Why would I want somebody to hire his experience?”. That's what's happening for log4j right now. A lot of eyes, a lot of attention, stuff's going to come out - and long-term it'll be better off for it. Shutting it down and moving to something else that hasn't been tested in battle isn't the pay-off it sounds like.
Having lived in SF for more than a decade, I couldn't agree more. When I left, years ago, the guilt syndrome was so prevalent among well-compensated young tech workers that one could talk about mass-psychosis. I'm told it's gotten a lot worse...
For some people Perl is the first language. Thanks everyone!
Right, when you say, deep in a debugging session, "hmm, this variable shouldn't have this value", this is shorthand for "according to my assumptions about the way this code operates and the initial conditions, it shouldn't be possible to observe the variable with this value". As far as I can see, it's similar here.
Analyzing it seems plausible. Analyzing it's geometry does not.
There is a difference between models like Newton and Einstein, and models like dark energy and dark matter. Do dark matter and dark energy make any falsifiable predictions ?
The author of log4j abandoned it and wrote logback. That plus slf4j seem like a better path than sticking with log4j.
Yes, and I was highlighting that either could have been an outcome of this incident.

Luckily, it wasn't the latter.
Looking back on it, I probably have those blue O'Reilly books ( and Perl Cookbook https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/perl-cookbook/156592243... ) to thank for starting me off on my programming career and influencing so much about how I grew as a programmer. Very informative books and fun to read. What a great set of authors.

I now program almost exclusively in Python (it's good and interesting) and Java. But occasionally I fall back to Perl for something that is just so much simpler - almost muscle memory.
I doubt it. If that's where they wanted to go, they've missed the window for it already. There's already too many streaming services like Netflix and consumers are already annoyed navigating them all. Plus they don't have the content and probably can't get the content because they'd be competing against Netflix, Disney, Apple, HBO and the other legacy media conglomerates all trying to do the same thing.
> I sometimes wonder what will happen if the internet gets suddenly shut down worldwide? Will hundreds of millions of internet addicts go down the streets protesting, and possibly overthrowing their governments?

That is downright laughable. So much hinges on the internet these days that society would literally grind to a halt even without considering anything non-essential. Databases offline, communications down, supply chains gone in an instant. Most businesses would be bankrupt within a week not being able to access their CRM, or emails, or you know... bank accounts. People would be too busy dying to protest.

But sure some teenagers with a mild psychological addiction to browsing tiktok or whatever would be upset! Self centered writers with jobs that entail scribbling down fiction on a piece of paper seem to easily forget what are considered essential utilities in this world these days and how fragile is the house of cards we've built.
One thing that can reduce the PR back-and-forth is to use linters in pre-commit hooks and/or pipelines. For example, if you are using Python then run flake8/black etc automatically on the committed code so you don't end up with bikeshedding over stupid things like line length and bracketing style. This can be enhanced by automated services such as Sonarcloud to catch potential security issues, code repetition and so on.
"anti-capitalism... I don't know too many moderate spaces left."

If capitalism of the day is literally destroying the planet and leading us to collective suicide,
maybe being anti-capitalist is extremely moderate.

I feel nothing will be done about the issue until there is violence.
Definitely there's no reason why Java libraries couldn't be as polished as in other popular languages. (Or why every Enterprise pattern should be present.) It's easy to just consume libraries and complain when they fail instead of contributing. Although I realize that a large part of the user base is corporate and just getting a permission to contribute during work hours can be problematic.
FWIW, there’s nlvm which is a fork of Nim that emits LLVM IR directly.

>There has to be a beginning and end.

Ha! No, there does not. Humans use create a hallucinated duality as a means of navigating a non-dual reality.

Let me ask you; How long was the time before you were alive, and how long will the time be after you are dead?

As Julian Barbour puts it: "We see from this that time has no role to play as an independent element of reality."

We haven't scrutinized video games enough after the "video games cause violence" myth was debunked.

Hands down the biggest addiction among my friends in their late 20s and early 30s.

The problem is that none of them see it that way.

They take breaks from "known" addictions (alcohol, cannabis) repeatedly, only to still fail to reach their goals, without ever acknowledging the gaming issue.
Right. My point is that due to the way some of these laws are written even a small hobby website might do things that the law regulates. It would not at all be hard for a small hobby website with low traffic to entirely innocently run afoul of GDPR while collecting data to try to understand how to make the site more useful to their visitors.

Thus to avoid unpleasant surprised like the one you had, people with websites should add "check to see if my site has any obligations under privacy laws" to the list of routine things they do to maintain the site, and then plan accordingly.

If that check reveals that they aren't doing anything that places any obligation upon them, they can write a canned response to send back to anyone who asks.
And this is why I feel science is a religion, both ask questions which can never be finally resolved by humanity's finite brains.
Active noise canceling makes some people feel like there's a pressure difference, like when taking off in a plane. It's because the headphones block low-frequency noises better than high-frequency ones, and the brain interprets a proportional lack of low-frequency noise as a sign of pressure difference across the eardrums.

I know a few people from South Africa, both there and emigres. I've visited Cape Town briefly. It's a beautiful country and there are many redeeming things to be said about it. But the fact that the 20% of the population that can afford it lives in gated communities with armed private security patrols doesn't strike me as being less scared of death. Quite the opposite, really. My overall impression of life in South Africa from the picture I got includes a pronounced streak of constant vigilance and fear. Not just of violence, but fear of fraud or abuse of authority, or poverty of a kind alien to me in a developed country, or lack of medical care, too.

AFAIK, the Unix filesystems of that era had a limit of only 14 bytes for the filename. With a limit that short, every character counts.

(Nowadays, the most common filename size limit seems to be either 255 bytes or 255 characters, depending on the filesystem.)

Yeah. As somebody who's always had a strong interest in archiving, information organizing, and information persistence, this is certainly... an era. It's so hard to stop, and it's a lot harder when my personal life is so intertwined with the things I'm professionally/intellectually interested in.

For example, I'm fascinated by how people on TikTok conceive of the algorithm and the mutual push-pull of category definition. How the hell do I explore that without spending 2 hours derailed by fun history facts? Answer: I do not.

What is the rate of escalation from a battery fire to multiple deaths? Especially when you move away from the flashy cases like plane highjacking to smaller scale incidents like school/nightclub shootings it's not at all clear to me that LiIon batteries cause comparable deaths to terrorism.

But also on the subject of risk vs reward, I think its pretty clear that cars cause more deaths than terrorism, if you want a clearer example of society deciding risks are worth the rewards
Sometimes I wonder if it would be possible to estimate the probability of the presence of nasty vulnerabilities like this one on a software stack.

At one point, it seems that "everyone use this so it must be secure enough" replaced "we're a large company, did we spend enough time reviewing code of the open source stuff we use?".

It seems the Linus's quote "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow", is not really true.

Imagine if a well funded agency like the NSA employed at least hundreds of full time developers whose job would be to sniff for those vulns. I'm pretty sure you could automate searching for those vulns, and that only the NSA has such tool.
Cosmology is not the study of the universe but only its large scale structure.
Sure it can, since the JIT has access to runtime information and all the code. It could reorder the steps so first the log level is checked, then that block is run.

No. I have my mobile at my a-cheek all day long. Since 30 years.

That frequencies used for mobile communication are much more powerful. My a-cheek didn't change to worse or good, showing absolutely no difference to the second a-cheek.

Just a few things to consider for your decision:

- all radiation devices are tested by governmental institutions for direct harm on biological tissues.

- since the mobiles are massively used world wide, a lot of people try to find some effects on the biological tissue. Being the first to find negative effects would result in a lot of credits - the money scientists are payed with. No serious investigation/studies show negative effects.

- the low power radiation of Bluetooth don't have enough energy to warm-up the tissue. Other effects, like changing DNA or causing cancer can be ruled out, as there is no evidence for that.

- Bluetooth, Wi-fi, mobile... Insert your favorite in here, are digital. Meaning "1"s and "0"s are used to encode the information to be transfered. We use mathematical error corrections - there is no necessity to increase the signal's power in terms having a good signal, like it's with fm-radio.

- half of worlds population is using this sorts of gadgets since a long time. If there would be some adverse effects, it would be known surely xD

>It might be my "European" upbringing, but why? Is there any indicating it was the manufacturers fault?

Because we are not in Europe, and we rely on lawsuits to keep the manufacturers in check instead of having them regulated like they do in Europe.

Also, because we are not in Europe, we don't have universal healthcare, so the OP's visit to the doctor (and any possible medical care they could need for their injuries) is coming out of their own pocket unless they sue.

Also, because the rules of the "free market" we have here require dangerous products to be clearly labeled as such, but the enforcement of this rule is "the consumers should sue if there's a problem".

In short, every time you hear about Americans being lawsuit-happy, it's because we need to sue to get the stuff that you're taking for granted where you're living.

>Is there any indicating it was the manufacturers fault?

Yes, there is. The OP used the product in accordance to the manufacturer's guidelines[1], and adhered to all safety warnings (which, by the way, didn't even mention risk of fire or chemical burns under normal operating conditions).

Given that, the manufacturer's fault appears to be clearly established.

This dogmatic bad mouthing of other people's tools is boring, immature and frankly below intelligent discussion. Sad really. Let people be happy.

I was sure everyone who engaged in thin and baseless language flame wars in the 90s grew up and moved on. It appears I was wrong.
It’s just wording. When you talk to a scientist they would tell you “ The Universe Is Expanding Faster Than It Should Be according to our models”. That’s how fundamental research is done. You collect data, develop a model that fits the data, collect more data and check if the model still works. If not, go back to the drawing board and develop a model that fits the new data. And most scientists will be excited if they find such a gap because now the interesting work starts.

Exactly, because of the Internet we (as a collective) are probably reading and writing the most amount of text in history.

The difference between the past and the present is not that we're on the direction of illiteracy, but that the structure of text is becoming much more non-linear than before (distributed, discretized, highly referential, algorithmically sorted and processed text rather than continual, serial, and isolated text) which has consequences (both positively and negatively) in shaping our way of thinking about reality.

> I used to be this way too. Then I just started reading again and now I can't stop. The trick for me -- which might be circumstantial and not related at all -- is an e-reader I always carry on my person, and an unlimited free books policy from my employer.

I was facing similar challenges and I'm doing something similar and I can see my interest in reading gradually going back up (I bought an Onyx Note 3 e-reader and the fact that I can checkout books from the local library is doing wonders for me and my daughter). I'm hoping this sticks and would recommend trying out this approach.
> without admitting it had caused any harm

There's no evidence it caused harm. For example, quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiomersal#Toxicology - "the World Health Organization has concluded that there is no evidence of toxicity from thiomersal in vaccines and no reason on safety grounds to change to more expensive single-dose administration"

> They stopped putting it into American vaccines about then

Because American worry warts were induced into a false panic by a fraud pushing a false connection between vaccinations and autism, leading to a specific belief that the mercury in thiomersal was the main factor.

The US authorities believed the precautionary response of removing thiomersal would increase public confidence in the vaccination system, even without solid evidence that it caused a problem. (The evidence by comparing autism in the US with a country that didn't use thiomersal was that thiomersal did not have a contributing effect.)

The US can do this because it has the money that a poorer country does not.

However, this precautionary removal caused people like you to believe the authorities were hiding a connection.

See https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm4826a3.htm for the stated reason. (" There is a significant safety margin incorporated into all the acceptable mercury exposure limits. Furthermore, there are no data or evidence of any harm caused by the level of exposure that some children may have encountered in following the existing immunization schedule. Infants and children who have received thimerosal-containing vaccines do not need to be tested for mercury exposure.")

> when they got a dozen simultaneous vaccinations each preserved with the stuff

That's exaggerating. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/hcp/imz/child-adolesc... lists 7 simultaneous vaccinations for most infants and 11 if including all high-risk groups.

However, the CDC link points out "Some but not all of the vaccines recommended routinely for children in the United States contain thimerosal". https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/thimerosal/index.... says MMR, Varicella, IPV, and pneumococcal conjugate vaccines have never contained thimerosal, which are 3 of the 11.
