No man you are right. There is nothing arcane here: sql is just an ugly and unintuitive language. I think sql works the opposite ways normal brains work so unless you are doing a simple query, you have to be able to parse and simulate what sql will do in your head. After doing functions/MV's with CTE's that are 100+ lines per query daily, you kinda get used to but also not. I've concluded that although sql is awesome, it is also full of warts.

What helps me is to code all of it in lower case and use something like that Datagrip with a good theme. That way you get something that is readible, colour coded and has autocomplete (very good with joins). It's the only way I've managed to keep my sanity as my experience with it grew. Bad data models doesn't reallllly impact it that much, sql is still sql even with a clean model.

I've built mini database engines in the past because of my frustrations with sql but I still use and prefer an actual rdms as opposed to trying to reinvent the wheel. There are so many features we take for granted it's not even funny. Try building your own production-ready storage system and you would quickly appreciate how deep the rabbit hole really goes.

> The way to fix the issue you describe is to educate HR people, not to try to apply technology to a non-tech problem.

I wish it was easier to do. At my first job after university (not my first job altogether) we initially had great rapport between "DCOps" and HR. To be honest, our group was rather... irreverent, which made it even more interesting that we had such great rapport (we had all the stereotypes going for us, including female-only HR team and basement-dwelling male-only sysadmins).

But thanks to great cooperation, HR would do basic filtering on things they actually checked with us about, then forwarded us the CVs unmodified to give our own opinion before deciding whether to go with it or not.

Unfortunately some time later head of HR ended up let go due to some conflict with C-level I believe, and things slowly reverted to the mean :(

No, you can just tell X clients (applications) to present themselves on a remote X server, either with no security or with an access key. It’s an unencrypted connection managed by the application itself and the X server. Sounds like a helpful feature until you realize that any X client can act as a keylogger for the whole session.

If you use SSH, it presents a fake X server local to the client that works as a proxy and tunnels the communication through the SSH connection. But as far as the client sees, it’s connected to a local server.

Triangles have no volume and no diffraction occurs inside them as it does with Platonic solids. The idea is that real-time raytracing will allow complex variations and interactions of "Platonic dust particles" and the rays bouncing and refracting between and in them. It would be a more expressive "clay" for the AI to tinker with than triangles - the orientation/color/transparency changes of each solid will be able to elicit more visual effects than doing it with flat triangles.I got banned from Eleuther discord today The One#3740

And the core issue is, sql is just strings. It only fails at runtime and not a compile time. There is no compile-time strong/static typing, you only find out its broken when you run it. So it makes it really difficult to re-use.
The other problem is, you have to specify table and column names in queries (duh, how else), but that means the entire persistence model is hard coded and need manual tweaking and so on. In an ideal universe, each field would be generic, each object generic and each collection of objects generic and all functions being generic. You'd end up with one huge flat structure of fields that are linked to each other to form more complex objects. But that not efficient in current computers nor do we have enough memory to store all information like that. And you might end up back at square one where everything is just strings.

> Because the book remains on-chain, the book does not die, but crosses the boundary of physical to digital.

It reminds me of the video game SOMA, where people upload a brain-scan of themselves to live on after some catastrophe, essentially making a digital copy of their consciousness. But because they are also still physically alive, they see the digital version of themselves as a clone, someone else. To "complete the transition", they decide they must end their lives at the exact moment the scan is complete.
I wouldn't say it's the main focus, but this is an extremely valuable risk treatment. I would say it's underrated.

Too many orgs go into do or die mode and try to do everything and do it poorly. Accepting risk is a liability no person in authority ever wants to sign, even if it's accepting the risk of an earth destroying comet. They will ask you to do what you can instead, when you don't have enough resources to even begin implementing the needed controls.

Often in info sec governance literally the only way for us to get leadership to accept a realistic scope is to do as much risk transference as possible.
Minor quibble: level 6’s code uses </input>, which is invalid in HTML syntax (though harmless): <input> is a void element, meaning it can’t have any children and has no end tag.

(You could write <input/>, the old XML syntax for self-closing tags, but I strongly recommend against doing that because it teaches a wrong mental model: that trailing slash is permitted in HTML syntax on void elements for XHTML compatibility but does not close an element: it’s just ignored.)
If you are predominantly working with bitmaps, there aren't many reasons to operate on a pixel basis, but, take, for instance, drawing a line of n pixels. For a linear 8-bit frame buffer, you'll need up to n reads and n writes (because the 68000 had a 16-bit bus). For an 8-plane buffer (for the sake of simplicity), you'll need 8 times as many operations, one for each plane. If you know you'll be setting or unsetting a pixel in the same 16 pixel region, you can collapse those in-plane ops into a single write, but that requires some cleverness (like off-screen rendering to fast RAM).

This depends on which definition of the vaccine you've chosen to adopt. As the product has not changed, only the manufacturers claims about it, the original definition is the most applicable in terms of its success or failure.

What's misleading is to pretend that a product, sold as a "vaccine", sold as originally possessing many of the commonly-understood qualifiers of the use of that term, turns out in reality to possess none of them.

It does not vaccinate against the disease. It does not vaccinate against being infected, harmed or killed by the disease. It is for all intents and purposes, not a "vaccine" by any prior widely-accepted definition.

These "vaccines" limited effects at reducing symptoms (the only remaining claim of late), do not even persist more than a week or two before beginning to wane to nothing. These are at best therapeutic drugs, not vaccines.

That is, they are - broadly - failures. Quibbling about ever narrower definitions of what constitutes the failure bears little useful relevance to the unfortunate reality, instead only seeming to facilitate manufacturer public relations.

> These are still memory mapping files using file paths ...

No, they're not. The entire purpose of MAP_ANONYMOUS is to avoid using files.

Sources:

1. The Linux Kernel source code [1], where it comes with the code comment: "don't use a file".

2. The glibc source code [2], where it comes with the same code comment: "Don't use a file".

3. The Linux man-pages project documentation of mmap [3], where it is documented thus: "The mapping is not backed by any file; its contents are initialized to zero. The fd argument is ignored"

Similarly for SHM, but if you still don't get the point about MAP_ANONYMOUS, I doubt you'll get it for SHM either.

> ... and returning file descriptors

A socket is a file descriptor. An epoll handle is a file descriptor. On modern Linux kernels, a pid handle is a file descriptor. None of them are backed by "files".

> ... because you have to have something coordinated between the two processes.

FDs are not the only things processes can share, even if you go back to the venerable, original Unices, so I don't see what you mean.

Oddly enough - the process in a library for digitising a copy of a book can be fairly destructive, as far as I understood from those doing it (at CUDL). The spine is chopped off, to make it easier to put it into a machine for scanning all the pages.

Arm are publishing their full ISA processor specifications in XML, so it is 100% machine readable, see [1] for the actual specification and [2, 3] for why you want a machine readable ISA spec in the first place. Arm has been really ahead with this, and all the other processor manufacturer are playing catchup.

I'm not saying that XML is the idea format for this purpose, but it clearly works for them. Which other format would you think is better for this purpose? Miminal requirements:

Global variables and random stuff self initializing and writing to those global variables makes me cry on the inside every time I see it. You basically create a hard to (unit) test mess because by doing that. Because of this, a lot of frontend developers never get into the habit of unit testing because they don't even realize that the reason it is hard is self inflicted. Because of the use of global variables combined with a failure to separate the business of creating stuff (plumbing/glue code) from using that stuff. I.e. business logic that should be tested.

So, you create a thing that creates more things that live in global variables that is impossible to untangle from all the other bits of code that create yet more global variables and end up depending on each other's global variables having particular names that are hard-coded left, right, and center. Basically, any attempt to test anything ends up firing most or all of the code at which point it's not a unit test but an integration test. If you need an entire browser running to test a thing, it's because it breaks this rule of separating glue code from business logic. Don't do that.

If you fix this, you can create stuff in a slightly different way in your tests (e.g. use stubs or mocks) and test them in isolation. And the same properties actually also make it easier to reuse things.

I've been using kotlin-js for the last year with a reactive web framework called fritz2 that is loosely inspired by React. One of the first things I did there was bring in koin, which is a dependency injection framework that many Android developers would know (similar to Dagger, which is a popular alternative). At startup time, koin ensures anything that has dependencies gets their dependencies and that those dependencies get created. Koin doesn't really do anything fancy or expensive. It just forces you to separate your plumbing and glue code from your business logic and makes that easier than doing it manually would be (which isn't all that hard, actually).

Implementing something like koin in javascript would not be hard and there are probably multiple npms that do that. And you can do this manually (it's called DIY dependency injection). But you need to know to do this and be a bit disciplined about using it. You can do this in almost any language actually and it's almost never a bad idea and almost always a mistake not to separate your glue and business logic. Most bigger projects get organized on this front at some point; or they just fail. That happens a lot with Javascript code written by developers that don't understand how to properly structure their code.
This would use solar powered drones for telco base stations.

Thanks for the recommendation and apparently VyOS operation model has recently changed [1].

"Starting with VyOS 1.2 the release model of VyOS has changed. VyOS is now free as in speech, but not as in beer. This means that while VyOS is still an open source project, the release ISOs are no longer free and can only be obtained via subscription, or by contributing to the community. "
