I remember doing this - one C file with about 100 lines from

These were files from a library that used a large number of tiny files, we prefered to embed this in our project rather than link in.

Massive build time reduction.

There is some technical name for this other than "compilation unit grouping" - I forget what
On top of what was said already in this thread, I think there is some opportunity these days in applying AI / ML to certain elements of video games, for example writing. It would be difficult to call it wholly novel video games, though.
I always found the New Scientist a much better publication and never understood the obsession with Scientific American. I assume it's because SA is based in the US, so Americans have been exposed to it much more.
Betteridges Law of Headlines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline...)
I was once a confused and amused British child when the policeman in The Simpsons said his handcuffs were 'in [his] other pants'.

(I rather vividly recall acting out the discovery of one's pants not containing handcuffs, and changing into some with toy handcuffs hanging out...)
Same here. There are several redirections
(https://rijksmuseum.nl -> https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/ -> /nl) and then "Our services aren't available right now" (HTTP 503)
No way to blame the patriarchy on that one though. Maybe worker exploitation is a possible angle.
I agree.
That's why, I suggested a therapist as a first step. Without more context every advice is wrong. But as a general rule of thumb, identifying, reducing or eliminating the pain points works. I know this from my limited experience with two burnouts so far.
I don't know. This doesn't feel like something that should require edge logic. nginx handles this with a single rewrite directive, so I'd expect some part of the AWS routing layer to have a setting to rewrite the URL accordingly. OTOH, AWS can't and shouldn't account for every edge case, probably.
There won't be a civil war...

Now, a coup... that definitely could happen...

Essentially a President could do what Trump failed to do, and end the democratic elections for Presidents. Hell, Trump basically laid out a blueprint, he's an idiot so sure he failed..but it's kinda scary how far he did go.

If a President like Biden even who felt the country was falling into chaos got the military on his side for the 'sake' of America, even if he genuinely was well-intentioned... then there's not going to be a civil war because it's basically us vs the U.S. military and there's no way anyone can defeat that at this point. Our tax-dollars have made sure.

It def. won't be like the Civil War, more like the People vs the Machines in Terminator... or what's going down in Myanmar and other places in the world.

Personally, I think we need a full rewrite and do-over.

A virtual constitutional congress to draft a 2022 version of the constitution and one that's more fair.

To make it more fair, I think maybe everyone should be allowed a vote who maybe passes a competancy exam showing they know the subject material or have a base understanding of how the country works.

Or we could just select lawyers who at least know constitutional law really well, some economists, scientists, educators -- maybe even elect the individuals who'll represent their 'field' at the table so there's a well-rounded discussion on everything going into.
I initially mis(?)read this post with SA = Scott Aaronson—I was mildly surprised at the implication that SA had a subscription service now, but it didn't seem too outlandish.

Turns out there two SAs to this story...
Richard Leakey Has Died
This will always be funny.

Keep living the dream.

There are countless people out there who know nothing of chemistry and this is a great way to make a point, or make them laugh dependent on the framing.

>> why NFTs are growing is completely beyond my ability to understand

I think it is growing as a way to establish and track ownership of digital assets, which up to now has not been possible for most people. How this all shakes out over the next few years is unknown, but I think that is the primary motivator (aside from it currently being a fad).
Any reason they didn't make the int unsigned from the get go?
Or would that also cause issues?
I read a good article some time ago that explained the different 'levels' of scientific writing. Level 1 was the actual papers. Level 2 is the press releases of the university or research institute in question. And level 3 and beyond are the pop sci websites, magazines, social media channels etc picking up on it - and it becomes muddled after that, because they will often pick up and rewrite from each other instead of referencing the source.

The most grieving of that one, I find, is about things like exoplanets. The publications will mention some numbers showing evidence of an exoplanet that may be at a certain distance from its star to have reasonable temperatures or traces of oxygen and water. The pop sci drivel sites and some newspapers even will publish screaming headlines with great-but-completely-fantastical artists' renderings of verdant planets, basically claiming that life has been found and we'll be shaking tentacles with our new overlords soon.

The post linked to other critiques of the article in question (https://whyevolutionistrue.com/2021/12/30/scientific-america...), but seemed to be focused more on larger concerns about SA and a refusal to contribute to it any longer.

Might well be ranty and emotionally charged, but seems relevant enough to be of concern for this site.
I'm not 100% on this, but doesn't disabling CORS essentially re-introduce CSRF?
I don’t want to claim equivalence, but book tours and online commentators are missing the point here. The source post includes a reference to an article Scientific American published, arguing that a particular person was a bad choice to be the White House science advisor because the advisor shouldn’t be a white male.
I love the ending of that article :)
I recently did a short training on technical writing. One piece of advice stuck with me because it is a) counter intuitive and b) not followed widely enough. It can also be said to follow "write like you code", so here it goes:

When writing a technical document, stick to one word per concept. Say you are using "throughput" for how many requests per seconds a service handles in a given period of time. Don't rename it to "load" in the middle of a sentence. People will waste time wondering if it's the same concept or subtly different.

This is the opposite of what we've been taught at school (avoid repetition! use synonyms!), so it takes a bit of discipline to follow it.
The term "wet market" just means a market that sells non-dry goods, like meat or vegetables. Most farmers markets are wet markets. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whbyuy2nHBg for an example.

Perhaps you mean campaigning against eating exotic animals?
Theory is that an attacker can bypass CSRF protections when CORS is disabled by making an extra GET request to parse the CSRF token which is then provided in the next request.
When they switched to the glue binding.
That's one strategy. Having something like `API_URL=https://api.foo.bar/v1` works equally well for 12 factor apps, and gives you the added benefit of transparently pointing to test hosts or staging versions running elsewhere.
> Frama-C doesn't need to know anything about the target arch.

In fact, it needs some knowledge, but this knowledge can be configured for the project under analysis. This is the reason why the Frama-C kernel provides the `-machdep` option ;) .

Then depending on your code, you might need to add particular knowledge according to your target platform. For example validity of some hardware memory location, etc.
Wasn't it also where the suite of FAT filesystem tools came from, I believe all starting with "d"?

I remember those not being broken. It's a lower ask then a video game, sure. But it seemed to work.
It is being outlawed in some states of the Union, not in the United States as a whole. Even if it repeals Roe/Casey, I don’t think that Supreme Court is at all likely to hold that abortion is in fact unconstitutional. As a result, some states will restrict abortion, but others will not.
Nuclear stations are efficient until they leak or blow up.

We cannot build a nuclear station in a desert, because it needs a river or a lake with fresh water for cooling. Nuclear station is the huge steam machine. It cannot work without water. Fresh water is a scarce resource. For example, nuclear station near to me (Rivne Nuclear station, North Ukraine) is at edge of closing since 2015 because of drought. It competes with the city for drinking water. The same situation is at Khmelnyck Nuclear station, Western Ukraine.

New reactors are better protected from mistakes, but they are not protected from evil intent. We are at the war with RF since 2014 and this is THE problem. We already had issues with drinking water in Dnipro river, which supplies lots of cities including capital, and food after Chornobyl, but Chornobyl was just a mistake, not an act of war. Potentially, a nuclear station has enough uranium to cause environmental damage equivalent to 1M of Chornobyls.
I had something like that during my worst depressive episode. I just collapsed on the table during work because I couldn't make myself do anything, including sitting.
"- to use only simple and common words in efficient sentences is becoming almost universal, and yet "good writing" doesn't always obey these rules."

I would say it depends what you write and to whom.

If your target is "the internet" where most people only speak simple english - you absolutely want to use simple english, if you want to reach more people.

And also in everyday life I made an effort to value clarity and simplicity in speech way over complicated layered sentences that might have made my teachers proud - but would be cause for further missunderstanding with the people around me (my partner has a different first language than me).

And I would say, the whole world is in a state of confusion caused by missunderstanding. If people would speak and write a bit more clean and clearly (like good code) I think everyone would benefit.

That being said, if you want to reach a higher level of communication - and not just pass mere facts, but adress emotions and deep thoughts - than yes, there is the great art of poetry. Natural languages are not mathematical precise for a reason.

But as long as basic simple communication is not working - I think it is seldom helpful to use even more complicated/vague language
Exactly. The only scenario in which I actually reveal the optimal complexity is when they got the best solution and are still struggling to see if there's a better one. It's better if they understand that it is optimal but I don't let people waste more than a minute or two on this. If their solution is not optimal I just say something like "Is this optimal?" or "Is there a better way?", and take it from there as a dialog.
Yup, the same experience for me as well at least in what concerns the flood, not so sure about quality. This drags the prices down and I see many clients offering $5-$15/h for short-medium term jobs.
Then again, I suppose a dedicated attacker can just bypass CORS.
I think he was making fun of them for the fake listing. Offering 1kg of FOOF in a chemical database is like offering a nuclear warhead with free shipping on Amazon. Both are so ridiculously dangerous that they will surely not be publicly accessible.
If you follow his rulings, a lot are underwhelming for a sitting Chief. You got the time, read his rulings vs Thomas. His ACA ruling was the worst in my opinion using commerce as excuse and completely ignore the main constitution. And in the end ACA collapse itself. Just to show, the judge has no sense what is practical. Then of course his controversial involvement in denying voting fraud cases with no standing or just ignore (aka weak and scared). You either be consistent on liberal say RBG or conservative like Scalia. You just don't be in the middle flip-flopping and weak especially you are a Chief.
If you would literally pay for an amazon filter, why don't you put your money where your mouth is and buy from dedicated shops?

Initially because I hate monopoly but also because looking for something decent on amazon is a major PITA I avoid amazon for nearly everything. If I need a computer, I buy direct to the vendor or to a computer shop. If I need new bicycle parts I go to an online bikeshop, if I want a new sampler groovebox, I go to a store selling home studio gears. Well this isn't totally true as I now favor second hand stuff but the reality is Amazon is not very effective at offering you the best things, and not even at the best price. Most online shops nowadays offer shipping time on par with what you get on Amazon.

In then end I don't see any good incentive to use Amazon. Some people will say centralized market place but if searching a decent product takes much more time than finding a good specialized store and getting decent product quickly you haven't really gained anything. Single account for all your shopping? Many shops offer buying without creating an account. Others will allow you to seamlessly create the account at ordering time and password managers make it easy to manage multiple accounts.
I guess it's just the mind-bogglingly huge number of components involved to display HTML to someone :)
A Canadian was teasing me (British) for that recently, found it quite baffling.

It's not like the meaning or idea isn't communicated in North America - there they just say 'I guess' instead!

(And if the current trend continues, I suppose (!!) we'll soon be mocked for saying 'I think' instead of 'I feel like'!)
Not sure what's the most amazing bit... the CT scanning, the information, the imagery, the 3d models of the CT scans or the fantastic page design! :WOW:
> but I’ll take it over how finance jobs are where it’s all about connections and where you interned when you were 19

Is this different than Big Tech really? If you do not go to the right schools, internships, whatever it can take years to have the right employers in your CV to be called for an interview.
They are bot disabling CORS, they are just proxying the request throigh the same origin so that for their web app they won't have CORS requests.
The editorials are getting problematic, it was hurtful. I grew up reading SA as a kid, never really grasping the material, but it was hugely inspiring to me, the legitimacy and depth of it all.

I feel as though this problem represents a form of corruption, and that it's in SA, such an ostensibly 'Scientific' and not 'Populist' institution implies that it's effectively 'existential' and will have corrupted large swaths of people with power.

I feel this demonstrated the inability of some leaders to separate their political or personal views from 'Science', or at least to contextualize them and that they've jumped onto the postmodern bandwagon in which their cancelling of others is justified 'in the name of' whatever.

That said, I wonder if it has mostly to do with some research in some curious, sensitive corners, and some of the broader and obviously political editorials in which case, maybe once the management team moves on, it'll get back to 'normal'.
You can have a look to this recent paper for example:

https://www.springerprofessional.de/en/formal-verification-o...

Another big example is the fact that Frama-C/WP is used for formal verification of some functional properties in aircraft software.

> Does the media just love perpetuating a state of constant crisis?

Yes, of course. More clicks for little effort.

Many other interests are also aligned. No need for a conspiracy, it's just that if you ask a pharma company or a hospital "how's the pandemic going? the right answer will mean more resources and/or prestige for you!" you can already guess the answer.
"not a natural origin" is not simply a lab leak, it's claiming that the virus is artificial and engineered.

I don't believe that there are any elements to support this claim at the present time. To keep bringing this claim up to 'discuss' it is therefore not scientific and might be considered FUD or conspiracy theory indeed.

Open research and science does not mean giving all claims equally. As said, the more extraordinary the claim the more solid the evidence. A claim backed by nothing has no place in publications. This is not "suppression". In fact, what you've quoted shows the opposite: the claim is pushed by dubious means.
Very few people watched videos online in 1999, but some people predicted video sites like Youtube back then already. Traditional media called them crazy. Nowadays, people are using barely anything else than the internet for watching videos.
it is relevant because people need to be accountable for this and governments too. if it comes from a lab funded by usa and china they need to be held accountable and show us that they can change security and safety protocols so that it doesnt happen again. I don't understand why it's even up for debate.
Well, that's just unforgiveable, reading about the details. The passengers even tried to alert the crew but were rebuffed. To be so situationally unaware for that long, and with that many people's lives in your hands. I mean, it was 1989 but still.
With the GIT thing my usual stance is that there's no need to make this a hill to die on. Some people feel better about it, it's next to zero effort, so it's no big deal wether I personally think it's absolutely necessary or not. I don't think it's a high priority or high leverage thing to do against racism or for inclusion, but I don't mind when GitHub goes "you know what, main is nicer for some people, let's switch".

But the ant colony thing in the SA piece sounds a bit like saying software engineering is a "problematic" field that should be critiqued because it often uses a VCS that at some point in the past opted for a very common set of terms that some may now consider offensive.

I could try to rack my brain for all the more or less charitable interpretations of what she is actually trying to get at with that sentence, but viewing it in the context of the whole piece, I think there's not much of a there, there.
There’s no reason you couldn’t. And part of the beauty of patch emails containing full diffs is that you can take them and use whatever tool you want to render them and not be beholden to some dumb web UI’s opinion of what’s “too big.”
I don’t think they can be so cleanly separated. If you see a newspaper that publishes just complete nonsense in its editorial section, arguing that up is down and vaccines cause autism and reptilians rule the world, should you trust that their hard news is accurate?
I am afraid, that replacing the mainstream system may not work without affecting it.
Not putting on my tinfoil hat or anything, but how much energy do radio waves put out? Could it interfere/interact with anything else?
It took me months if not years to relearn enjoying doing nothing.

For me it appears I was cought in a unhealthy circle of stress that creeped into my life to be the new normal.

As I see it: Motivational deeps may are just a way into deeper relaxation. More Relexation leads to less stress and more creativity.

I do think that you have a point there. However it's complicated.

Money quote from your cited paper:
"Our data show that anti-disease vaccines that do not prevent transmission can create conditions that promote the emergence of pathogen strains that cause more severe disease in unvaccinated hosts."

However, despite the small odds of a population bottleneck, mutations naturally happen and with "[...] more than a million new infections occurring every day and billions of people still unvaccinated, susceptible hosts are rarely in short supply. So, natural selection will favor mutations that can exploit all these unvaccinated people and make the coronavirus more transmissible." [0].

This [1] nature article from 2020 has a different view on the relation of leaky vaccines, spread control and disease severity; money quote:
"Bailey et al. performed transmission experiments using Marek disease virus in chickens and found that the herpesvirus of turkeys vaccine significantly reduced feather viral load in both vaccinated birds and unvaccinated contact individuals. The authors found that contact birds were less likely to develop disease and die, and that they displayed milder symptoms and shed less virus, when infected by vaccinated birds, potentially because of a lower infectious dose"

The article based on current research [2] _also_ examining Marek disease.

So there you are: one probem, multiple views by experts and a bunch of hackernews readers, unable to evaluate the papers.

Indeed a lot of doubt. They said they would launch a phone in 2021, however about halfway that year it has been very silent from their end.
It's sad really, would love an up to date android with a blackberry keyboard.

Could you elaborate on this a bit?

I currently keep my Zettelkasten in Obsidian and my project journals in Workflowy, and I wonder if there’s a place for Zotero in my workflow.
This has been going on for 2+ years now.

When i started using DuckDuckGo, i somewhat frequently had to do a !g to find what i was looking for, but for the past couple of years DDG has been spot on, and Google returns mostly trash. Not that it matters when all the good answers are on Reddit or StackOverflow.

Sadly, DDG lacks behind in the (local) shopping category, at least if you're in the EU.

I am thinking this could be like DNS serial numbers. Possibly the code was written with a integer serial number (ok using signed is wrong) but then someone else thinks to make things easier for humans we will use this date format for the serial.
Its quite possible that was never in the spec given to the programmer.

DNS serial numbers are 32 bit unsigned and the convention is to use YYYYMMDDNN

So this _convention_ breaks in year 4295, or if someone forgot to put unsigned 2148.
It is only a convention though DNS only cares that the serial increases.
