I disagree about the extra steps as it pertains to the original post.

The redirection of base64's output to a file is addressing the concern that the output from the program would trick the terminal into executing code.

What you are describing is the risk of sending a small string of ascii into base64 would cause a buffer overflow and trick a text decoding binary into executing code. This is of course a risk with parsing data especially if it were binary.

If we really wanted to go deep down a rabbit hole of theoretical risk then I would concede that if you did not force your character set of your terminal to something that could not possibly interpret extended character codes then there is a risk albeit highly unlikely that there could be hidden strings you are copy/pasting. This could occur with any executable and pasting of data to which I would partially mitigate by forcing my terminal to have a LANG/LC_ALL of C unless I specify otherwise and would probably even take care to be explicit with IFS. This is a deep rabbit hole and I would be surprised if a majority of people copy/pasting from sites like stackoverflow / stackexchange took these precautions. Further mitigations could include executing code as a AppArmor/SELinux confined user or pasting the code into a sandboxed environment. There are infinite rabbit holes we could go into here and would be happy to cover some of them.

More likely when copy and pasting text especially if from a web page would be that the site is malicious and using CSS or javascript to trick your system into copying entirely different contents into your copy/paste buffer. [1] This would also benefit from running in a highly sandboxed environment.

There's no particular "plugin" system. I've always aimed for BookStack to be a "batteries included" system with the essentials built-in and supported with the core.

That said, I have been opening up areas for extension, especially over the last year or two. The following systems are now available:

- REST API [1]

- Webhooks [2]

- Visual Theme System [3] (Overrides of any view/translations/icon used).

- Logical Theme System [4] (Back-end logical hooks/events/extension).

It's possible we could build a common container around these methods to form a "plugin" system but that would require significant time & thought. Not sure I'll ever soon go down that route though due to the cost it could burden upon the project. My current stance is providing opportunities for extension to those who'll be able to maintain it themselves.

If your 20 friends are all "massive fans" of a given person, I agree, that's a pretty solid indicator of significant bias. Well, maybe not if that person were the Dalai Lama or something like that, but Thiel is not the Dalai Lama. (Even a regular llama would be strong competition.) I should add that the same would very much apply if all your 20 friends felt the opposite way - that would be closer to the norm, but still implausibly unanimous.
Then ML simply isn't a viable solution to that problem?
That is staggering. Just, wow.
You will find that your statement is not as controversial as you probably wanted to make it:-)

> but it can still "observe anything in the sky, and get the most detailed pictures ever seen of them".

That's my point: it cannot!

Not all objects are visible at all wavelengths. Some extremely old and far-away objects are not emitting anything in the shortest wavelengths because of red-shifting, and you need infrared capabilities to see them (hence JWST).

Dust clouds are also blocking certain frequencies of light from reaching us, so you need instrument detecting certain frequencies to see through them. But if you want to study dust clouds, well you obviously need a different instrument that will not see through them.

If you care about observing very energetic objects like neutron star, you need x-ray capabilities.

If you care about studying atmosphere of exoplanet your best bet is UV light, and this is why NASA is working on LUVOIR.

It's like saying you can observe anything with an iPhone camera. You can't, if you care about imaging a brain tumor or a broken bone, you need x-ray, your iPhone just won't see through the skin. And if you care about taking a picture of the skin, you can't do that in x-ray.

Being limited to person<>person communication sounds like a feature to me.
Imagine you're recording highly dynamic music, like Jazz. Clipping is absolutely never OK. You have to leave tons of headroom, there's no other way. So 16 bits is not enough for live capture — especially when the source is dynamic or the recording conditions are chaotic.

The studio I used to work at was one of the first ADAT studios back in the 90s, and they did a lot of rock. One of the ways they got past the limitations of the medium was to compress and limit to tape. You generally don't want to do that unless you have tons of time to set up and get it right (a la Rudy Van Gelder), which was not in most budgets. But it worked well enough and the ADAT recordings out of this studio sounded way better than most.

Mercifully storage has gotten cheaper in the decades since and you really shouldn't capture to 16 bits any more.
To some degree the DoF feels like a trend, there will probably be movies in the 50's made in the Netflix style of the 20's.

IRC just operates differently than discord or slack do.

In the olden days, people just had large log files for their IRC clients stored locally, understanding that disconnected time = time you weren't logging.

A lot of existing IRC users would probably view the ability to fetch complete channel chat history as an anti-feature.
In theory it is that; in practice it has become a different face of Redhat because it's mostly Redhat developers that submit these standards there and the body is known to have a certain philosophy that is indeed exemplified by systemd.

They aren't particularly keen on hacking in how they design their software and standards and talking with them is frustrating to say the least.
the "running their own server" thing is more retrospective, I think. Moxie's article was basically saying "IF people had ended up running their own servers from 94 onwards, we might not have gotten into this situation".

What throws me about all this is that their entire job, the reason they draw a paycheck in the first place, their raisin d'oatmeal, is to keep things running smoothly when the unexpected happens.

Now going into year three and they've managed to do fuck all to create solutions. Which is, y'know, their JOB. Generally they've just made problems worse by sticking their noses into things. What the hell are these people even getting paid for? They're a net negative value to education and society.

Other countries were able to come up with protocols and standards. Yet here we are flailing around like magikarps.
> Hell, they shot 35mm film for SD for decades, 16mm for non-extravagent budgets.

This probably was also to deal with period TV cameras. Video cameras of that time couldn’t deal with bright lights and had terrible dynamic range. CCDs improved this a lot. Direct to video productions looked cheap.
You mean literally checking the dip-stick? Yes they do recommend to do that more regularly, but if you mean dumping the oil out, they don't.
I feel so bad for the next generation. Society is already acting as if it's pointless to educate them because all the opportunities to extract value from the economy have (apparently) already been monopolized by earlier generations.

The whole economy feels like a first-in-best-dressed pyramid scheme. If I had been born 5 years earlier, I'm sure I would have been very well off now. Still, it wasn't a complete failure for me, I did manage to benefit from some small opportunities which were presented to me...

But when I look at the people entering the workforce today, it's much worse. Unless you're the child of a rich person, you have 0 opportunities. Social mobility is 0. The message I'm getting from society nowadays is that the game of capitalism is over so instead of wasting your time with education, you may as well emotionally prepare yourself to flip hamburgers for the next 65 years.

I'd be surprised if developed countries are still capitalist in 20 years... But who knows, maybe the elites will find a way to break the next generation's morale even further to make them feel even more hopeless so that the idea of system change wouldn't even enter their heads.

>are living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodations

To me it reads the following aren't adequate accommodations if they are by themselves (i.e. no other housing): motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds.

I personally don't think a trailer in a trailer park with an address should be categorized as homeless, I'm just trying to interpret the law as a layperson. Maybe trailer parks were different back in 1965 (i.e. no address).

>whose job was to monitor chat/messages from the virtual attendees and raise his hand to ask a question to the instructor

Seems like a human solution to a (mostly) technical problem. Basically you just need a way for students to mark a message as hand-raising (and maybe a way to point out another student's message), a chat filter for the teacher to read those messages, and a USB LED (or some such) to act as a raised hand until the messages are marked as read. Of course there are some edge cases, like temporarily ignoring a child who's repeatedly raising their hand to troll, but this still seems like it could've easily been usable by the start of fall 2020.

You'd likely still need a surrogate for young children and special ed students, but you could probably eliminate ~2/3rds of them (? I'm not sure how old children need to be before they can be expected to remember they need to mark their messages & how to do so)
I saw something getting shot today in downtown SF where a ton of extras were all walking down the street wearing VR headsets. Anyone know what that was?
Consider how people who live in those trailers feel about people like you. If you need an intuition pump consider that most Europeans live in houses that are solid masonry, not plywood and plaster. Your houses are basically tissue paper, trashwood and mud. Hardly a permanent structure.

Your public contempt is reciprocated by the people you do not respect.
I mean, it's called a hypothetical. They're pretty common. They can even be used as thought experiments to bring out interesting aspects of moral questions.
Obviously it's too late for it to matter and that was a bit of hyperbole. But I also think it's fair to say that anyone who insists on doing nothing and acting like COVID is a complete scam, vaccines are a complete scam, masks are complete scam, etc., is basically behaving pretty much criminally.

Absolutely. History will not look kindly upon this barbaric crap we subjected ourselves to for the last 2 years.

> the android user will not see a heart on the message, and instead will get a separate text that says "Jimmy loved a message" and they can't tell which message you're talking about

The substitute message for the reaction (known as a "Tapback" in iMessage) does let the recipient tell which message is being reacted to, though it's not very user-friendly. The format is something like:

Liked "[original message text]"

Examples: https://www.pcworld.com/article/395045/hey-iphone-users-stop...

The Google Messages app,[1] which is preloaded on many Android phones, now automatically interprets substitute messages for iMessage Tapbacks and displays them as reactions, the same way iMessage users would see them.[2] Hopefully, this feature makes its way to open source texting apps soon.

The point of my post is that there is nothing particularly significant about claiming that you would refuse to take money from someone who is never going to offer it to you to begin with. It's a completely worthless and trivial statement that comes across as posturing.

I don't agree with the idea that paid sex is a better option than "full-blown polyamory." In particular paid sex is a lot of trouble and doesn't really resolve the issue that someone doesn't feel lovable or attractive.

In many cases of a sexless marriage it seems the non-responsive partner would be interested in dating anyone. (Though some women who seem asexual in married life might experience a sexual awakening if they found another partner; men seem to be satisfied with boring marital sex, women seem likely to lose interest and check out.)
Usually there are only one or two exit roads, so it's easy to get blocked (especially with emergency services coming in, falling trees, people leaving at the last minute because they ignored the repeated warnings etc.). If I recall correctly, there were quite a number of people who died in their vehicles in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Saturday_bushfires (see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_Australian_bus... -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bells_Line_of_Road_Bushfi... the road in that photo is one of two main roads through the mountains, when that's blocked, traffic all over the place is affected).

As for internet, assume it's going to go down quickly, if you had any initially (I'd be surprised if a battery powered radio tuned to the ABC wasn't on the list).

> and honestly I get that you picked makeup as some kind of example because you think that makeup is easy or something.

I think the parent picked makeup, not because they think it's easy, but it's a wildly different domain than system administration. Someone with a talent for makeup combined with a talent (or dogged determination) for creating mechanically good Instagram videos does not necessarily have a talent for system administration.

Even some sort of makeup-Instagram-sysadmin polymath doesn't necessarily have the time to put into each of those topics to actually make a video people want to watch, serve it well enough that a majority of the population can watch it no matter their device, and even get people to their server to even view the content. At some point you must have noticed the credits at the end of a TV show or movie. More than one person is often involved in the production so each one can focus on a particular task or even subtasks. You know, division of labor.

There's also the missing detail of no matter how good or a bad a makeup artist or Instagram video creator you are your makeup can't become a member of a malicious botnet or lock your home network down with ransomware if you do something wrong or leave it unattended for a weekend.

The "run your own server" meme essentially requires everyone interested in content creation of any sort to be independently wealthy polymaths with no outside responsibilities.
I could not come up with a better argument for reducing the age of majority to 13 or 14 if I tried. Infantilising adults like this is dehumanising.
Free Software is international and borderless and made by people with a huge variety of accents. LibreOffice for example has an incredible amount of translations, more than many projects. It would be better for folks to learn to embrace these aspects of Free Software rather than splintering it along nationalistic or linguistic lines.

There is of course some inevitable splintering between the English speaking part of the FLOSS world and individual bubbles of people who don't speak English. For eg it seems like there is a large space of open source projects by people who speak Chinese but not English.

I don't really understand the conflict that seems to exist between the title of the article ("Do Climate Models predict Extreme Weather? ") and the body of the article, which argues that event attribution can't be done with much accuracy.

So ... "Do Climate Models predict Extreme Weather? ": yes, yes they do.

But .... "how much impact does climate change have on extreme weather?": hard to say with much accuracy, but the factor isn't negative!

How useful is it to note that the factor might 2 or 200 or 2 million?

It is normal.
