tyny.dev is an API software that has several use cases. As outlined in previous blogs, tyny.dev can speed up your development processes, saving you time and money. In this article, we will cover tyny.dev's most powerful feature: domain specific language or DSL. This article will explain what it is, how tyny.dev uses the computer language using a use case example, and how tyny.dev stands heads and shoulders above the rest in terms of its application.
> What is it about PostScript that you dislike, that doesn't bother you about Forth?

I think it's what we were trying to accomplish. My work with Forth was on Apple II computers while my contact with PostScript was to make printers do things they weren't supposed to do - such as printing fractals - because, for some time, they were the most powerful computers we had at the office.

Apart from that, the syntax seemed awkward for things more complicated than rendering text in predefined positions, but, then, I didn't have any development tools similar to what was available with NeWS (when NeWS was still hot).
Yeah, I remember this, having used DOS since 5, but never used advanced enough stuff to justify forcing cmd.exe
Thanks for summing it up. All of this is correct afaik. What I wanted to respond to was the implication that Google is somehow part of this. It is not. This project started before Dustin joined Google open source and was already couple of years old when Dustin himself joined.
We’ve been using Sysbox (https://github.com/nestybox/sysbox) for our Buildkite based CI/CD setup, allows docker-in-docker without privileged containers. Paired with careful IAM/STS design we’ve ended up with isolated job containers with their own IAM roles limited to least-privilege.

Selecting the option "Monitor that can do <highest resolution of your monitor> at <vertical scan frequency listed on the back>" from Xconfigurator has never steered me wrong -- and I have used some grotty monitors.

This kind of malarkey was only necessary because, at the time, unlike sensible systems like the Macintosh, PC monitors did not report their identification and capabilities to the host system. Eventually the EDID system would be implemented, allowing automatic configuration -- but it would be a few years before X got decent support for it.

I'm sorry for the confusion, but my post was supposed to be humorous.

On reflection I think there's nothing that can actually be said about this auction that can possibly be as funny/sad as the original situation.
Doesn't this mean there is a $3m scammer out there somewhere that probably should get caught?
I haven't visited them in Japan, but the two Round1's I've been to in the states have been great. They have standard US arcade games, but also a good selection of Japanese rhythm and fighting games. And when I say Japanese, I'm talking very obviously direct imports, same cabinets and everything. And yes, some of those games are only in Japanese.
Yep. I wonder how realistic a 51% option would be?
>Zig documentation isn't crap; the documentation does not exist* yet. There's an important difference between the two which seems to be ignored.*

Well, crap as an offering (what you get atm), not necessarily as in the quality of what little it is. It does though have a reference and documentation page:

> But you also need a 220+V and 40A circuit installed. How expensive this will be is 100% dependent on where your breaker box is in relation to your kitchen

From googling around it looks like $300 to $800 in the US; I can't use homedepot here in the UK but I found this [0] for $350. That's ~$800 for an upgrade to a hob , assuming you do the electrical work.

> Most American kitchens are still configured for ranges, so to install something like this you'd also need to retrofit your cabinets. Now prices are starting to add up.

Anyone who owns a house with a range doesn't need a subsidy, to be frank. _houses_ might be, but apartments are likely using shitty bottom of the range gas burners, or crappy electrical coils. In my experience a £99 ikea portable induction burner was _way_ better than my builtin gas stove in my last rental apartment.

Indeed, he definitely could do his protest in a way which wouldn’t inconvenience billion dollar companies or even anyone.

Just like BLM could protest in a remote location or do an online petition. Except that no one would give a fuck about that. The same about a message during the build.

You call it a DoS attack, I call it a brownout warning about unsustainable open source funding. After all old versions are unaffected. No hidden RCE there. Only ones who opted in for pulling a new version without due diligence (aka free shit lovers) experienced a minor inconvenience. He didn’t do anything a malware author would do with such distribution channel.

I would definitely do it some other way, but can’t blame him. If he had put a notice during the build, no one would see it. If he added an unskippable five minute timeout to that message it would a DoS attack as well.

I suffered a similar “DoS attack” myself. By Microsoft. They did one hour brownout of Devops pipelines still using windows server 2016 or something, to warn about unsustainably of supporting them (striking similarity). Right at the moment we had to deploy an urgent hot fix for our client. If there was a notice somewhere, I didn’t read it. No one does. Which is why they do brownouts. He didn’t put an early warning, but that might be a difference between a multibillion company and some random guy on the internet.

He is unprofessional, but well, don’t expect professional behavior from people you don’t have professional relation with. Who I would call unprofessional, are the developers who expect free working shit from some random internet guy and have audacity to complain when he intentionally releases a broken version to protest taking free stuff without giving back.

I’m mildly entertained by the uproar caused by his protest. Reverting to an older version of a library is not an end of the world. I think it is not caused by the minor inconvenience he caused to the lazy devs, but by the threat of the end of relying on free work from open source devs.

We will have to do it ourselves or pay for it. Like in any other industry.
Google Chrome had exactly that effect and at least in the past running Google Chrome made some software to function correctly. (Although perhaps there's also some software timeBeginPeriod(1) affects negatively.)

Doesn't help when your testers run Google Chrome all the time...
To be honest this looks like a very smart marketing strategy to me, making something so dumb that everyone starts talking about it.

This strategy is also used a lot in Tik Tok videos for example: you write the caption with some obvious errors like "your" instead of "you are" and people starts correcting you in the replies making the tik tok algo rank your video higher
I'll take a look, but SpaceFM seems to suffer massively from exactly the attempt at combining a launcher and file manager and ending up being bad at both that I lamented above... It also doesn't seem to support spatial-ish browsing (at a minimum the ability to remember window locations and icon positions and allowing manually changing them), in which case it's a non-starter for me as a launcher. Maybe it's better as a file manager, but it still feels like ca. 1985 Diskmaster 1.3 in terms of capabilities (which, to be fair, doesn't make it any worse than most Linux desktop file managers; just not better either). It'd take a huge step up in zzzfm to turn SpaceFM into something worthwhile for me.
Also worth to understand and remember, from the linked thread: "digitisation does not = preservation. All they’ve done is replace a long term, resource-light asset with a short term and resource-heavy one that doesn’t work in the way the creator intended."
Contract clauses don't make things illegal. In the countries where it's illegal it's because the government has made it so, presumably because of lobbying by the card companies or large businesses. See the UK for example: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/card-surcharge-ban-means-...

The company I currently do contract work for, decided it would be best to have one large team in Azure DevOps and subdivide all teams in repositories etc with prefixes and homegrown "Governer" scripts, which are enforced in all pipelines.

Global find on some terms like "key", "password" etc were great fun. It really showed most people, our team included, struggled with getting the pipeline to work at all. Let alone doing it in a secure manner.

This is a 50k+ employee financial institute. I am honestly surprised these kind of attacks are not much more widespread.
As expected, the problem of interacting with the real world comes up again.

It doesn't matter how decentralized your blockchain or "DAO" is, ultimately all interactions outside the blockchain will rely on one or more trusted parties that can go rogue or be coerced... at which point you may as well not have a blockchain and just trust these people directly.

Why do they not allow him to teach remotely? Have all the students in the classroom and have him appear on a projector screen and interact with the class that way.

This would solve the Covid exposure risk for him. It would solve the various other issues the students suffer due to lockdown.

It only requires someone to setup the equipment.
Wow, nice. I like this even better then the OP. In particular how the levels naturally progress and how the game actively teaches concepts.
The table in question is here:

I hope you saw the part where he was retiring at the end of this year?

I don't know if you remember, since time has stopped, but before Omicron, it felt like we had defeated covid. Vaccinated people basically weren't getting sick from it anymore, everything was good - and then everyone got sick.

He probably thought it was safe and over.

Evidence: we're hearing about his rage now, implying there wasn't that rage during the Fall semester.

You're welcome to hate on him all you like, though, it's a free country.
The color palette is a good reason it's NES vs SNES.

But yeah, gameplay wise this is pretty impressive. You can tell in a few spots it gets weird when there are a lot of sprites on the screen / moving.

Interesting to learn that credentials in environment variables are frowned upon. I mean, makes sense if your threat model includes people pushing malicious code to CI, but aren't you more or less done for at that point anyway? If "legitimate" code can do a certain thing, then malicious code can do too. I guess you'll want to limit the blast radius, but drawing these boundaries seems like a nightmare for everyone...
Windows 9x supported long filenames by overriding DOS instruction to provide it, so they only worked while Windows was running. If you rebooted the PC in MS-DOS-only mode LFN wouldn't work.

There were a bunch of TSRs that added support though. Here is one i used recently on a retro PC to install Free Pascal for DOS (which, despite being for DOS, requires long filename support to install - though depending on which units you use, it can work without it afterwards):

Hmm that is indeed very interesting. I’ll have to read through it more thoroughly (and Prof. Walker’s subsequent errata/responses) to make a judgement about whether the errors cited rise the the “actually, fuck that book” level or not.

The point really is that PyPy has some compatibility issues with the C api I think mostly because of the garbage collector. This has less to do with whether you compile or interpret bytecode, yes.

If you were told by your professor:

* everything you need to succeed in this class is in the syllabus
* I'm required to be here, you're not
* If you wouldn't want to get your grandfather sick, I'm as old as your grandfather, treat me like him
* I'm wearing this ridiculous mask to protect me from you
* I will not be answering any questions in class
* I will not be tracking your attendance, while other professors might

What do you think he was saying? And how would you interpret people still choosing to physically show up to his class?
Correct, in Poland formally even owning lock-picking tools is illegal when you are not a certified locksmith. Which is a bit funny because buying those on Aliexpress and similar sites is very popular.

Recent law changes make it illegal to own an ammunition shell. I have had one huge artillery shell as an umbrella holder at home, hope my parents got rid of it.
Lol yes. You will meet students who are 10 times stronger than you and learn about things you didn't even knew existed.

I think zigs documentation is wonderful and explains most seemingly esoteric syntax and language options really well.

Batch files are used way more than PowerShell - i barely see .ps1 files out there but .bat files are everywhere.

Hell, even with .ps1 files, sometimes see them alongside a .bat file that all it does is to launch .ps1 with -ExecutionPolicy Bypass (or whatever is called).
This is my approach as well. I dislike coding tests as a matter of principle, but I'm happy to compromise if the other side invests some time as well as to discourage "spray and pray".

The trouble is that Visa/Mastercard/Amex are all american corporations who have effectively extracted a ~1% tax on a large proportion of every in-person non-cash monetary transaction worldwide. That's a huge amount of power for an unelected, unaccountable organisation to have, and one that returns money to its american shareowners and employees only.

Exactly how the tax is collected is a matter for the businesses to hide. I don't like it one bit, but there's nothing I can do about it.
It'd probably just be a TA turning on a video if the college is, at all, set up for modern learning. It's actually a really good solution and I'm surprised they haven't done it - ... Banning it kinda sounds like a college being a bad college for the professors. (You can be prestigious and also bad, in fact, it seems like the industries people desperately want to work tend to have the worst work cultures, so it wouldn't surprise me, e.g. zoos (basically zero pay) or the game industry)
A copy of one of the source code of one the first versions apparently can be found in the Pusey library at Harvard (https://www.theregister.com/2001/05/13/raiders_of_the_lost_a...). It would be interesting to compare that with this version (both code and comments)
That's exactly the problem I was going for - feature richness is the enemy of simplicity. The fact that you need to read a schema (and learn one of the schema languages) makes starting out with XML just much harder than JSON.
A string with a knot and "do not enter" sign also provide some friction. I don't see it as a justification for modern, widely-sold locks to be that poor.

Thinking of mobile devices you also had EPOC which was the ancestor of Symbian and predates Newton and PalmOS by a few years.

There is definitely a market gap for devices like the old The Psion 5MX. i.e. A ultra-mobile device with a really satisfying keyboard experience.
Reading the part arguing against long covid being a psychosomatic phenomenon did make me believe some of it might be and a lot of it is due to other health concerns and the attention the disease is getting. Although a psychiatrist could answer it better. A is that the symptoms of it are very unspecific, hair loss to cite the funniest.

I don't want to cite studies anymore, but there is data that ~50% of those that were unknowingly infected (only later proved by blood test) had mild Long Covid symptoms, ~8% to a medium degree and 1.5% to a heavy degree.

But there was also a study that asked people if their health declined in the last 2 years. 22% of people not infected said it did decline compared to 22.4% that said the same and had a Covid infection (both cases confirmed by blood tests).

That said, it wouldn't be unusual to have a neurological effect. Same suspicion was true for the
Zirka-, West-Nile- or Dengue-virus. The recommendation to avoid it certainly hold true in any case.
Wordstar has very different keys to EDIT.COM, which was basically a tiny program to launch QBASIC.EXE with the /EDIT (or /EDITOR) parameter that disabled the BASIC bits. QBASIC's keys are the same as those used in Windows.
Right, but e.g. SVG doesn’t support hinting AFAIK. Also, realistically nobody is willing to do the work to add hinting to vector icons. Fonts with good low-res hinting have already gotten rare.

I suspect that we’ll continue to live in a world where the UI is neither optimal for HiDPI nor (any more) for low DPI, while really high DPI (e.g. over 200 DPI on desktop monitors), which would enable going full vector without detriment, will rather remain the exception than becoming the rule.

> Once upon a time we had a browser with real color management (firefox)...

I remember that episode... at some point it was basically impossible to display an image that uses the exact same color as some color used in your CSS. Lot's of logos with just the wrong. I'm sure the web platform could be extended to properly support color management in some way, but what Firefox did back than wasn't it.
Another way to put it is Amazon knew their customers and their behaviour. Hence your “run the number” is not just for general risk but for that customers. In particular in this lock down, so many being purchased unless sone odd purchase it is very hard to fool them for big loss. You really have to handle how to get the goods from Amazon and resell them in a fraud. Not easy to get the trick work I guess.

Unlike money you have to deliver to a physical address.

> X11 networking is "hackish and awkward and filled with issues

It doesn’t just allow random people to pop up a window on your display and annoy you. It allows them to see everything you do and everything you type and control your applications without you seeing it.

It’s not that it’s awkward and has some issues. It’s a security hole by design and that’s what makes it unusable.

And that is aside from the security risks posed to the client by an untrusted server (and all the other untrusted clients connected to it) and to the server by an untrusted client.

I’m not sure though what the problem is with X through SSH, it’s 99% transparent, the biggest issue is that, if you ssh to an untrusted server, you allow that server to connect to your X server and see what you are doing and what you type and control all your applications.
