Lay people indicate the month with an ordinal all the time since it's how dates are standardized (12/30/2021). People don't often indicate the day of the week with a number, they use "Monday" or "Tuesday". So there's no strongly held convention in people's minds about how to number days like there is for months.
Why do you jump to “hero worship” from someone asking if it’s a “hit piece”?

Fundamental Concepts In Programming by Christopher Strachey is awesome. It’s a lot less technical because it was based on a series of lecture notes. Christopher Strachey is also an inspiring figure in CS to me as someone who was a perpetual fuck up and a late bloomer.

Negroponte's 'Being digital' book is from '95, it has a very simple message: if you are shifting bits or atoms you are in for a very rough ride.

I encourage everyone to watch Don't Look Up. In many ways it struck me as the spiritual successor to Idiocracy.

I needed to watch it in chunks, because of how viscerally real it is. It is funny, in that it's ostensibly comedy, and the actors all have great comedic timing...but it's also a very very honest appraisal of where we're at as a society.
> it doesn't matter if the underaged subject exists or not

Are you sure this is true? As weird as it is it seems pretty ridiculous to suggest that someone drawing a sketch could be guilty of the same thing as someone abusing a real child.
It's baffling how little known this is in the West. It influenced much of the modern world.

* It's the worst war/unrest in human history up to the world wars.

* It was the straw that broke Qing China's back. The empire never recovered. The loss of Manchu officials led to local Han authorities raising armies directly, permanently weakening imperial authority.

* It really was led by a man who proclaimed himself the brother of Christ. Hong was probably schizophrenic. Unfortunately he was also charismatic and a gifted military commander. A fascinating person on his own.

* The Heavenly Kingdom was a semi-functional theocratic state that lasted over a decade and ruled tens of millions at one point. They issued stamps, coins, and tried to establish foreign relations.

* The rebels went full zealot. Millenialist. Communal property. Group castrations.

* The rallying around ethnic Hakka identity by the rebels explains much of the modern insistence that the Han Chinese are one people with one language.

* It was so disruptive Western forces got involved in the conflict on the Qing side. They stayed after. It accelerated the unequal treaties process.

For comic relief:

* General Zuo Zongtang, who finally put the rebellion down, is one of the most celebrated and remembered generals in world history; General Tso's Chicken is named after him.
I know Cornell requires me (staff) to get a booster by February. I was looking for one in early December and couldn't get one in Ithaca in the near future so I wound up booking a shot three weeks later (this week) in Cortland, the next town over.

It was surreal being right next to a student outbreak with 1000+ positives but having almost no transmission to faculty and staff.

> It sounds like you have an existing preconceived notion and anyone giving you any answers isn’t going to make you say “oh you’re right, I hadn’t thought of that”.

I am still waiting for that effect, respectively only asking further to the parts not fulfilling that, as I am basically asking why we would need (most) apps, if web provides (most) of the stuff in a much more simple way, regarded from developer's side – and a not more complicated way, from user's view.

Also I often struggle with the way big companies are developing their sites, already for the good old web browsers – e.g. Twitter already regularly collapses trying to detect if I am human – so don't take it personally, if I do not take them as measurement, how things should be done. Just because you are big, does not mean you do it right.
They can't even get it really managed to develop their sites so that they work normally on a 10 year old box, and are more part of the unnerving keep-the-sites-content-moving all the time, then part of solid web development, IMHO.
Sega Europe left AWS S3 creds laying around in a server image on downloads.sega.com. I was able to use them to enumerate a bunch of storage, dig out more keys, and mock up a spear phishing attack against the Football Manager forums.

All the keys and services are secure and the breach is closed.
No, the original commenter questions whether anyone denies that earth has a climate, which would make "Climate Denier" an accurate and useful term. Of course, it's a rhetorical question to point out that the term is just used for effect, thereby reducing the utility of language.

I believe you can apply Kant's categorical imperative to language as well and you'll quickly arrive at the point that misusing language to score a point will lead to language becoming less useful and you'll do much more harm than you gain.
BTW Arduino boards can do WAY more than blinking LEDs. I guess most of the people still call Arduino the original 8bit board but since then we developed a ton of very powerful boards capable of running machine learning and instrial tasks. In certain environments it's actually better and more reliable to use a powerful MCU instead of a Linux SBC
Between 2016-2020 it had an average running time of 67 hours. For this year it's somewhere between 500-700hours I think, so closing Barsebäck had no real influence on this.

Norway doesn't have nuclear either, they can easily regulate using pretty much only hydro. Most of the time this works for Sweden too, but when it doesn't it's nice to have an alternative. Even if it's spewing a ton of carbon into the air. The oil for Karlshamnsverket mostly comes from Russia.
Yes, thanks for sharing.

That isn't even close to what the author wrote. The "quote" reflects nothing of substance from the article.
Yes, once you have large malls on the outskirts of towns, it's hard to recover from that. You see it a lot in France as well. In the Netherlands they're rare, zoning laws usually say no.
I use ACH and Venmo all the time for no fees. Do you mean the tiny electricity fee that they pay on my behalf of maybe $0.01? Sure seems like a great deal compared to the multiple dollars (sometimes over $50) charged by Bitcoin and friends
HCL DX vendor ‘could not reproduce’ allegedly critical vulnerabilities
Sorry for your loss. I learned Rust back in 2020, but decided to take a 2 year break from the industry, so haven’t used it yet.
> Do people actually take those rules seriously? Pretty sure there was a story on HN recently about governments moving to make robots for killing

Ummm… Asimov's laws of robotics are taken from Science Fiction books, so I'm guessing probably not taken seriously by those people actually building "autonomous killing machines" (modern military)?
> Of course there are other ways to meaningfully own the digital artwork, you listed some in your response:

By my count you listed just one - owning the copyright. But as I said, while owning intellectual property is certainly meaningful (and can be valuable), it is not art collecting. There is a reason why there exists no art market where people are trading copyright claims.

As a collector, I don't want to be in the business of managing an intellectual property licensing enterprise. Yet, I want the artwork I own to become a well-known, celebrated cultural object; the artist also wants this, and thankfully - incentivised and empowered by still owning the copyright - will try to manage their career to achieve this.

We can all agree that crypto lends itself to rampant and unrestricted speculation / gambling, which attracts all kinds of people looking for a cash grab or get-rich scheme. Those speculative bubbles have been going on for years, and in all likelihood will continue. It's an issue that artists and collectors in this space are struggling to deal with; people don't like that new releases are sold out in minutes, because flippers and their bots think they can make a profit (this is not dissimilar to event ticketing issues).

However, artists who have experimented with blockchain 10 years ago, were not looking for marks to scam. While pics of lions will go up and down in price, and people who bought even respectable art at the height of the bubble will be looking at a loss in resale value, this market will not disappear; it provides a product that artists and collectors find useful.

I am not of the opinion that this will be as world-changing and all-encompassing as web3 proponents proclaim. Art collection is a niche in the real world, and it will be a slightly larger niche in the digital realm.
Conversely, on the receiving end, if you aren't somebody who's made a business out of being a contractor then taking some company's money to do a specific piece of work also seems like too much hassle and overhead to be worth it...
Yes[0]. It's unlikely to ever get that far though -
95% of cases settle pre-trial [1] because this kind of stuff is all fun and games until someone has to put their words on the line. Especially when you're the governor and big public losses like these weigh heavily in voters' minds.

At the beginning stands disappointment. The decentralized, anonymous Internet was a chance. The Internet became hostile garbage the second broad access was popular. Creativity, serious discussion, and unseen exchange of minds is what I first connect to the word Internet. Then came the ads and shady business models...

Today, I am deeply disturbed by the malice and sheer idiocy that social media has not only exposed but also amplified (with intent), as engagement is their business model. Broad engagement is and always has been easiest perpetrated by hate and gossip.

There are still great blogs, great individuals and great content. Great communities and creativity. They can simply continue to exist.

But we need to drive Facebook/Meta and all its ad-driven social media metastases (hah) to extinction, it's a cancer on society under the guise of free speech and social advancement. Algorithms take you in and bubble-wrap you in your own little safe space devoid of any exposure to other people and ideas. Connect the world yada-yada. Yea right... connect the world of alt-right Nazis maybe.

Aside from that, I am pretty certain the Wild West days of the Internet will soon be over - maybe another 10-15 years for relative anonymity. Soon the China model will be replicated in the West as the Internet of today can under no circumstances guaruntee a lawful environment.
Mouse selection works fine. At least if you use the gui. And, really, if you're using emacs in the terminal, you should consider switching, since it works much better in the gui.
This is a completely unacceptable lack of detail from a security-focused software provider.

Especially given their history of issues and prior poor or misleading communication.
Got a new job after a few months of struggle, moved to a city I enjoy, got my side project up and running, a few hundred users, a few even paying for it, went back to therapy, doing better, got myself 2 green plants and gave them name, they're still alive so far.

Sorry to hear about your loss OP. Congrats to everyone who pushed through this year.
The mantra of mountain flying, "altitude is your friend".

You can't fight physics. Normally aspirated planes are seriously underpowered at high altitude. It's shocking. And they don't have much excess power to start with.

This pilot made a fatal mistake much earlier than the actual accident by not becoming deeply uncomfortable at the low altitude perniciously taking away all options. He assumed the rate of climb would get them over the pass. A small tailwind makes this even worse as it reduces the time you gave for climb.

Every time I fly in the mountains I see planes well below my altitude, thousands of feet. I've slowly build up a store of power and thus choices, including more time to troubleshoot, more time to announce position which is a line of sight transmission.
Not sure if you are asking whether it's possible to use twitter sans algorithm or not but https://tweetdeck.twitter.com/ allows you to view things in purely timeline based fashion and never reverts back to the algorithmic view. Without it I would have abandoned twitter several years ago.
Do you want me to believe that you have been trying to grant me generosity? If you are generous, be generous. Otherwise don’t. It seems like you are blaming me for your failure to appear the way you would like to appear. I am not asking for your generosity, only your honesty.

As for me not understanding you. That’s entirely possible. What is also clear is that you don’t understand what I am saying.

Nobody has projected gatekeeping onto you. That is a word you have just introduced. What gate could you possibly be keeping? Do you have some position of power you haven’t disclosed?

I, and many other commenters here are pointing out the ways you are in speaking for others and generalizing about communities you don’t represent. Perhaps we are wrong, but it seems like about half of us are wrong then, and we have a reasonable disagreement.

As for victimhood, yes, your analogy of not being able to reason about people’s motivations when you are having your face stepped on is indeed a portrayal of victimhood and little else.
Seems sad to limit your life to a small artificial space and not being able to roam about when ever you want.
A Long Desire, The White Lantern, and Son of the Morning Star remain some of my favorite books.
> "The underlying message of course is that humans ought to take such things as science, research and knowledge seriously, lest we create our own Idiocracy."

And this right here is the problem I have with Idiocracy. Amazing movie, annoying fanbase.

Everyone thinks that the movie is a perfect illustration of what's wrong with <other party>. If you watch that movie, and think, "<My party / I myself> would never create such a society", then the movie is about you.
At this point I'd pray for a Demolition Man kind of future. I could live with the notion of a high falutin Taco Bell.

Making Sense of Nikon Lens Abbreviations

https://www.dslrbodies.com/lenses/lens-articles/general-niko...

There are a wild set of possible Nikkor/Nikon lens/camera interactions, and on some level Nikon must have been glad to go to the Z-mount just so they could keep track of what’s what.
Worse is the use of these super-antibiotics in animal production. Methicillin is used endlessly in cattle production.

If more people watch the film and become aware of the state of our "society" maybe such a blog post still served a purpose.
It's an effective cut. 1.5% increase minus 6.2% inflation.
The community was in the functional space before react. Angular 1 was very function oriented too, and relied heavily on ordinary functions and closure scope rather than class. And then everybody latched onto class in the phase of time between angular 1 and next gen frameworks.

Class was something pushed by all the next gen framework authors at the time. Then most next gen frameworks abandoned class, because it proved to be worse in many ways than ordinary functions did. Which was the position I held at the time, and seem to have been borne out.

The easy way to tell types apart in ordinary JS is to have consistent naming conventions. If you always name things such that the name implies the type (not Hungarian style, but more natural language oriented), you can infer the type from the name correctly 90% of the time. E.g. always write arrays as plurals, map-like objects as keyToValue, and so on.

But the easier answer is to just use Typescript.

Inferring type from instantiation point is pretty meaningless anyway. The type needs to be inferrable at the consumption site to be readable, not the production site. Understanding a type only matters in the context where it's used
Has anyone ever used blackbox or open/fluxbox? The context menu can be very amazing and minimalistic. I don’t use those DEs today, but they did change my mind in terms of what is needed in a desktop for effective interaction.
>Feminists are against it because they are afraid it could replace real women.

Do you really think that's why feminists are against it?
The prosecutor isn't going to initiate this case (no matter how much the governor says so) because they know they will lose and in losing, embarass the state even worse (since during discovery it will come out that the people who let the error happen in the first place were incompetent).

STL covered its tracks perfectly on this one; if they did lose, it would be a token loss.
You could have dense cities and high speed rail in between, it doesn't need to be all populated.
What you propose will likely drive the code to functional equivalent of FacadeAdapterArrayController, but written not only once but in every line of code. Because think of what even a simple .filter().map().filter() would expand into. Of course we can just stream() or | everything, but the original “simple functions” idea will quickly get lost in the woods.
Most important metrics for labeling data
There are a lot of great articles about measuring the performance of data annotator’s agreement on labels, like this one https://towardsdatascience.com/the-definite-guide-for-creating-an-academic-level-dataset-with-industry-requirements-and-6db446a26cb2.

I see mentions in a lot of places of Cohen’s Kappa/Krippendorf’s alpha, Fleischer’s Kappa, Comparing to predefined ground truth, etc.

If you’re managing an annotation process in your organization, how do you evaluate your annotators, and what challenges have you faced in the process?

As a side note, is anyone using programmatic labeling in a real dataset? Thoughts?
Have you ever heard of farming? It's this new technology that let's people copy grains of rice, just like copying a book.
This prophecy is flat out wrong because it ignores the future impact of genetic engineering.

The rise of genetic engineering is going to allow humans to solely give birth to geniuses. This will more than counteract this idiocracy effect.
I'm really interested to read this, but good gosh, do I despise al this working going into something as inaccessible for long form as Twitter.

As an aside however, when I saw this topic, I immediately thought of Steve Blank's website, who goes into quite a great deal of depth on the history of Electronic Warfare and how Silicon Valley rose from the WWII infrastructure created for it. He has a number of articles here: https://steveblank.com/secret-history/ If you like this topic, you'll find those to be a good read.
I can understand how what I personally find engaging can be banal and unnecessary to others, but with this case I can't think of anything that would serve as a more fitting opening metaphor for the entire essay. The chunky wine opener that serves its intended purpose and was a gift, but lays taking up an incongruent amount of space for its intended use invites some observation on all the other unused-but-still-owned stuff that we're forced to either continue possessing or send along to the trash.

I guess some (not implying you) might consider the observations somewhat shallow, and maybe they would find the solution to be "simple". Just throw more stuff out.
You make yet another excellent argument against the insane proliferation of out of control advertising to add to the already huge list of reasons that human society needs to bring that garbage industry under control.
If you ever see this phrase: 'public-private' partnership, you can be assured that the losses/costs will be public while the gains/profit will be private.
Golden Balls. The weirdest split or steal ever (2012)
Amazon sources say compensation changes on the way amid dissatisfaction with pay
I think that it is a bit far fetched here but where do you draw the line between what is an intrusion and what is not?

To continue with the prosecutor analogy of the lock, having a shitty lock doesn't allow others to enter your house, but what if there is no lock, and what if the door is wide open? If you write "do not look" on top of your source code, can you prosecute someone who looked at it? If not, can you open a package marked "for Alice" if you are Bob, even if it is unsecured.

For computer security, what is punishable? Obviously, using exploits and installing rootkits is, but what about deciphering weakly encrypted streams, what about accessing "secret" urls that do not have access control, what about probing undocumented APIs.

For me, it is just the prosecutor doing his job of accusation, maybe poorly, I don't know, but if there is a trial, there will be a defense attorney, and a judge, and hopefully a reasonable verdict.
> I'm a firm believer that the transition to mirrorless needs a new mount

So the new Nikon Z-series mirrorless cameras have a 'Z' mount and the FTZ mount adaptor lets you use F-mount lenses on a Z-mount camera.

> I get that pros want to re-use old lenses

I haven't yet had to buy a new lens to use my Z-series mirrorless, and probably wont while I'm still using it in conjunction with my F-mount D850
more questions than answers, I love how the article provides no information on why floppy disks were being used as if it occurred in 1995.
Looks like similar to Falkon, which hasn't seen an update in a while. Maybe KDE could support this project? It would be great to have minimal alternative browser in KDE Apps, like Epiphany (GNOME Web) on GNOME.
This is lovely, thank you. I've got a self-hosted server in Docker now, and have implemented some alerts.

FWIW for anyone else, 1Pass or similar can easily create a four short words style password that's DNS compliant.
Out of curiosity the meaning of "credential stuffing" doesn't jibe with what I would assume the term would mean. Why isn't the more obvious "password reuse" term not preferred? I would assume credential stuffing would mean something to do with pushing a bunch of credentials into a system and overloading the credential system somehow, rather than simply being "reusing a password that was found on a third party site".
Only certain classes of officers if I remember correctly, and it more likely was motivated by preventing the leaking of intelligence under interrogation by the enemy, rather than really being about preserving honor. Of course it's probably easier to carry out seppuku if you convince yourself its honorable, rather than to just do it based on rationality.

Not all failure results in capture, so one particular failure scenario does not speak of the general view on failure.
The steel plant isn’t built along the south coast though, where the wind turbines will be, it’s built in the opposite end of Sweden (boden).
