What I really like about Wordle is that the very reason that all of these fun and interesting math analysis are being done on it is due to the entire corpus being easily accessible there in the code. It's not something kept away server-side. It's so easy to cheat on it that there's no point in doing so.

In addition, if it was an ad-filled, high growth commercial venture, this approach would likely never have been chosen. (Not to mention the entire game mechanics of one word per day, instead of trying to show you a stream of ads every minute or so after each word you would have played).

I guess what I wanted to say is: thanks, open web!
I wrote a script to rotate SSH keys. This was the best that I could do.

It's a complicated procedure, and I've found a few improvements.

There is some value in the wisdom of the original article. Perhaps I should not have done it this way.
What's the difference between banning and curating? A school library doesn't contain all books, so setting some criteria for age appropriateness always happens. You can argue whether "god damn" should cross the line, or the n-word, or hard core porn. Calling it banning stifles useful discussion on what standards are appropriate.
People having open discussions is misinformation?
"A related phenomenon: developers who generate a ton of LOC, create new services willy-nilly, and adopt new technologies to cure their boredom..."

>Cash flow has nothing to do with virus spread.

Not wrong, however cash flow does have something to do with hospitalizations and covid death counts. Hospitals get subsidized for admitted covid patients and for covid deaths.
>The book has contents that violate school board policy.

Well I guess the kids can't see the phrase "god damn" or see a drawing of a naked woman when they are learning about the industrialized murder of millions of people. Do you not see how crazy that is? These these kids aren't eight. They are teenagers. They are old enough to learn about these things. This policy is asinine.
The minutes of the meeting do not indicate anything about a library ban; that seems to be a novelty introduced by the article itself rather than being a piece of reporting.

In fact, those minutes indicate that the exact same book is being used in a freshman high school curriculum in the same county, which rather casts doubt on the assertion.

I should also be clear that, when I say I find the reasoning dubious, I do not mean to suggest that it is not based on a genuinely-held belief. I simply mean I think they're being unrealistic about what kids know/say.
> It is vanishingly unlikely pasta was invented in Ancient Rome

I never said it was. It's just that by then, it had already been known in Europe. So it certainly wasn't an import from China.

> American-Chinese cuisine was invented by Chinese in America, and I doubt any Romans tasted it, ancient or otherwise, but it is possible there was some Ancient Roman analog

What do these two things have to do with each other? Why are you mixing Roman pasta and Chinese cuisine? I merely juxtaposed them in a list of claims, beyond that they have nothing in common.
> in the West are so anti-mask. It's been two years since I've gotten sick with anything.

For one data point, I'm vaccinated, had Omicron, and am now "anti-mask", as in, I think they are more harmful to me than not wearing a mask. The vaccines/boosters only target one protein, of 28. I want periodic exposure to all the proteins, to keep my immunity up and minimize my risk for now and future variants.

Of course, I wear a mask as a courtesy for others. But, if nobody around me has a mask, I will remove mine.
Not at all. I mean it is a lot of text for a comment and my tendency is to skim or skip the long ones.

Not only but there's plenty of 20 seat comedy nights and tiny drive bars where the performers gets paid.

This is interesting when it comes to education.
We have a few holdout Christian conservatives and they are sending their kids to schools where they are brainwashed in a way that they are completely culture shocked and traumatized. And now Muslims want their own schools too.

Freedom looks simple on paper but remember that we live in a society where everyone has to get along. And screwing with people's childhood sets them back for life. You can never get it back.
I think the big difference here is who takes on inventory risk. If a traditional retailer wants to buy something wholesale and then not sell it because their price is too high, then well, they bought the product and it's their problem to deal with.

In the Sold By Amazon program, it sounds like there wasn't a volume minimum or an actual purchase-for-resale going on. The inventory isn't on Amazon's balance sheet at all, if it doesn't sell then that's someone else's problem financially.

Regardless, it's categorically different than trying to ban the book for its subject matter. They literally spend a couple pages of meeting minutes arguing about whether suitable replacements with less vulgarity can be found, clearly they take no issues with teaching the holocaust.

This is a bunch of self important educators banning a book over stuff that doesn't matter, not a bunch of ideologues banning a book because they don't like the message as one would think based on TFA and most of the comments in here.

So, a few things.

1) I ask you to refrain from personal attacks if you want me to continue to engage.

2) I feel no moral compunction to read a twenty page supporting document to make a one-line comment about not trusting people's claims uncritically.

3) Having now read that document, my opinion hasn't changed. One person tries a couple of times to address the bigger picture about what problematic books are in the curriculum. In both cases he is almost immediately shut down by the rest of the committee who want to discuss this particular book.
>They definitely aren’t the same people.

The fight against CRT is now a mainstream conservative mission. These are the same people who have spent years advocating for free speech when it comes to tech companies but are fine censoring the schools. It is completely hypocritical.
The way the world and universe actually works seems to be described by maths you probably have no hope of understanding with that attitude.
Osborn's words from his own book where the term was first used:

Every day, everywhere in a democracy, juries are proving that a dozen minds can jointly judge and judge well. But that’s judicial thinking; how about creative thinking? Can a squad produce ideas? The answer is yes. Properly organized and run, a group can be a gold-mine of ideas. It was in 1939 when I first organized such group-thinking in our company. The early participants dubbed our efforts “Brainstorm Sessions”; and quite aptly so because, in this case, “brainstorm” means using the brain to storm a creative problem—and do so in commando fashion, with each stormer attacking the same objective.

So the good news is you can still brainstorm as Osborn himself intended. I suppose this once again goes to show that reading the manual is a good idea! I had no idea there was a manual for this stuff.
> Unfortunately if you really need genuine products you simply cannot buy things off Amazon anymore.

Untrue. Stick to SBA, and it's like any other retail store with customary supply chain integrity.

FBA can be anything because Amazon didn't purchase the goods, they're only warehousing and delivering them.

SBA and each FBA are separate bins by design. The commingling of different SBA/FBA sources at the same ASIN (item on the website the customer buys from) would be a different issue.
It's exactly what NY asked. He didn't do it as a means to let Spotify drop Joe Rogan, but he did it out of principle. I applaud him for that.
It's very important to reserve the use of "banned" for actual bans, this kind of misuse is apparently very common when something like this happens.

That having been said, the people debating the issue seem to be grossly intellectually unqualified to be deciding anything regarding the education of others, which should be very concerning.
'blockchain' doesn't have any point of view on whether something should be 'NFT'-ized or not - it's just a technology. That's like saying FTP encourages child pornography because it can be used to transfer files.

As in most things, the culprit is not technology, it's people. It's entirely possible to ignore the clear rugpulls and scams and just focus on the technically interesting parts. Quite a lot of people are quietly doing just that while everyone else is busy trying to scam each other and/or be religiously opposed to what amounts to a distributed database synchronization mechanism.
Do you mean that Spotify has same quality, or that there's no perceived difference between Spotify vs other higher bitrate? (Any links to validate?)

Spotify has quality setting in app but from what I've heard it's still lower bitrate than Tidal for example and apparently the diff can be heard. (Although I saw some blog a while ago claiming that quality distortion on Spotify is a side-effect of some DRM/watermarking they do).

Analytic languages tend to spread complex meaning across multiple words (e.g. stuff like when an action happened or the ordering of actions, etc.). Its opposite is synthetic languages, that tend to group complex meaning into a single word, such as via inflections (e.g. different tenses, prefixes, suffixes, etc.) or agglutination (glomming multiple words into a single word).

So for example analytic languages tend to lack things like complex verb conjugation systems and instead use context or additional words to mark information about the time, subject, object, etc. of a verb.

English for example is usually considered fairly analytic. While there are inflections, they tend to be a lot simpler than many other languages.
Even though the topic is ventures into dinner-party controversy territory, I can only see most of the choices as universally straightforward (favoring humans compared to pets, and favoring children or adults in their prime to the elderly) -- either that or there is no consensus possible.

The only choice where I wouldn't apply morality would be preferring the lives of the poor compared to the wealthy, since risks on the wealthy make the whole system safer. To be fully pedantic, I'd include the passengers based on wealth in this equation.
That is a valid point, but in my case I am developing backend services. I work on 3 services, so most of the time I have 3 instances of Visual Studio running. Then outlook, chrome, git extensions, Notepad++, sometimes Word/Excel/PPT/Adobe Reader. I would also have some background stuff running like Service Fabric, Docket etc. This laptop is down to a crawl under this load.

> - Kroger isn't charging you for storing your potato chips

That's not completely correct.

Kroger will charge you if you want an End Cap display of your chips, and Kroger will charge you if you want additional shelf space for your chips.

I believe it's more limited to things like Chips, Soda, Snacks, etc, but, it does happen in the grocery industry.
Multiplying by all numbers is equally easy or hard with calculators, the problem is fractions break UIs.

Try adding 3/16 plus 1/2. On a calculator that is three separate operations, and if the output is decimal, you have to convert back to a fraction.

And when automated systems convert to fractions, the amount of error is not obvious. With decimals, the computer just adds more digits unless you limit it to a certain number of places. It is safe to add a few extra because you can ignore them.

With fractions the whole point is smallish integers. If a computer says 3/8 inch I have no idea if it's really 3/8 or if its 11/32 and the computer rounded.

It can't just always show the value in 128ths of an inch because... nobody knows what those are and rulers aren't marked that way. So to have a computer display fractions means understand how it does so, it's not obvious(Unless you displayed explicit error values, which would be pretty great)

The whole thing came from a time when very skilled humans with no tech did everything themselves and seems optimized for that at the expense of everything else.

Decimals way easier for applications where all the math is 100% done by the CAD program.
There is Podman Compose which will what you want. I particularly like Podman, because you can use it for Minikube, independently, rootless, etc.
There are a few things that I think would be really interesting to do with this data:

1. Provide a different scoring mechanism. Number of guesses is a bit simplistic. I'd like to see something where blank squares are 2 points, yellow are 1 point, and green is 0. Then a total score could be computed across all guesses, with the goal being the least number of points. It would incentivize "hard mode" I think.

2. Provide a difficulty rating of the daily word based on average number of guesses

3. Given a "spoiler free" answer, make a game out of guessing what the original player guessed.
Neil Young was one of the most gifted songwriters and musicians of the 60s and 70s (and produced popular music since then but not anywhere near that peak, save a brief resurgence in the 90s). If you haven’t listened to him before, “Heart of Gold” was his biggest hit.

Anyway, it’s a huge stretch to say that he’s looking for attention 60 years past his prime, and probably only a few years from his 80th birthday. He’s already made his millions and lives quietly in rural Canada and California.

My guess is that he actually is bothered by Rogan’s content and doesn’t want to be associated with him.

It’s more akin to a boycott than a publicity stunt IMO.
Yes, we actually rewrite them to the abstract page on submission. I missed that in this case. Fixed now. Thanks!
In the web world, and probably other paradigms too, there is no such thing as 1.0 and done. The code will eventually need to change because of new browser features / removed browser features / browsers introducing bugs. In that world a library that has had no updates in 3 years is a risk.
For me, elective medical procedures and air travel required a recent (<24h) test result, vaccination was not sufficient.
There probably isn't anything meaningful I could do, to reduce the risk of some future war against aliens.

Not your primary point, but I think we can reduce the risk of losing some future war against aliens by discovering the aliens sooner. The Aztecs would have been a lot better off if they had realized Cortés was coming a decade earlier....
The problem in general is the stark contrast between white and black. My editor is set with a grey background with grey text (or low chroma colors), and it works great.
It looks like Rancher Desktop uses Lima VM (https://github.com/lima-vm/lima) under the hood, I suppose in the same way that Docker Desktop uses Hypervisor.framework on macos? This is the first I've heard about the Lima project. I'll be interested to see how file system performance with this compares to Docker Desktop on mac.
> People celebrating Spotify don’t realise that they’ve selectively gone through Rogans more spicy episodes historically and removed on edited them.

Wouldn't it be interesting if someone compared the current cuts with past cuts to see what they wanted/needed to remove.
More likely that they’ll claim qualified immunity as the reason they cannot be prosecuted.

> There is a big difference between a projected life of 1-3 years, and a prestige mission with a long lifespan. Hubble has been operating for ~30 years now.

Is there anything other than manoeuvring/orbit-correction propellant that puts an upper limit of t5he James Webbs projected life? (At least until micro meteors trash too much of the optics?) Is it possible a resupply mission capability could effectivel7y extend its useful life indefinitely? (Did they even bother putting a fuel filler on it?)
But neither of those are from the Robert Malone interview? Which is what Neil Young was angry about and what the GP asked for examples of misinformation from.
There used to be a restaurant chain called "Boston Market" (there are a few left). One of their signature products was cooked rotisserie chickens. What killed them was not a direct competitor, but the fact that Costco did, and still sells a similar product at a one dollar loss per chicken. The loss leader is going on forever.
For me personally the wires are such a non-issue compared to all these software-related problems and having to run the whole thing through a noisy, unreliable, shared medium.
Neil Young has fuck you money and is standing on his principles. Nothing his manager could say would dissuade him. He has very little to lose here.
They didn’t ban a book. They decided to have it not be a part of the eighth grade curriculum. This isn’t an issue of free speech unless you feel that not showing Schindler’s List in third grade classrooms is also an issue of free speech. These people making the decision don’t seem the most informed, but let’s not turn this into something it isn’t. School boards are well within their rights to decide that material isn’t age appropriate.
If someone went around smashing depictions of the devil to rid the world of evil, you would think they're kind of nuts.

Are we going to tear out pages in books these same people were mentioned in, to erase any positive memory of them.
I don't see how that would be different.
> we basically have recreated k8s only more expensive and fragmented

Exactly my driver for getting k8s (in the form of OpenShift) in place years ago to support a microservices push: if you want to deploy a fleet of a few hundred independent runtimes independently of one another, you could waste a lot of time and effort building everything that's needed to support that out of bits of VMware and F5 irules and things, or you can use something designed to support the case from day one.

I’m not condoning censorship.

It’s naive to think that if a person with enough power wants to censor me, they won’t be able to accomplish it. Accept it as the way of the world.
It seems to me that both Neil Young and Joe Rogan are good people that are doing what they think is right.

But, in my judgement, they're both making serious mistakes.

Young is making the mistake of trying to summon and/or join a mob to silence someone. And Rogan is making the mistake of not handling his Covid-related conversations with the diligence a pandemic ethically requires.

In neither case do they deserve hatred. The best outcome would be for them, or at least others, to learn from their mistakes.
People having open discussions with people I like and agree with is wonderful.

People having open discussions with people I don't like and disagree with is "giving a platform" and must be punished.
Except that they're creating a political movement that's about as dystopian as one could possibly imagine by convincing people to vote against their economic interests and hand massive power to the already wealthy and corrupt. Libertarianism is the means by with capital captures labour politically, and will be the ruin of the planet.
This argument is correct only if you're testing the end-user component on the dev machine. I work on backend services.
This feels a bit like moving the goal post like a few different times. This is about the claim that vaccines don't reduce spread, that appears to be false. You're reacting like this is about if people have at least a moral obligation to get vaccinated. While I do think that's true, I think it's more productive to stay strictly to the facts.

Ok though if we're going to move the goal post.

> Shouldn't people be isolating regardless of vaccination status, so the argument that they're sick for shorter amount of time is redundant?

Maybe, but we all know that people aren't isolating every time they have cold symptoms, certainly not universally and probably not the people who aren't current vaccinated.

> Why do we care about the virus spreading, it's always going to spread.

That is only true now that we've given it time to become one of the most infectious viruses ever. A quick rollout of vaccines combined with a few common since interventions did (perhaps) have the potential to achieve herd immunity, but regardless the speed at which it spreads is of literally deadly importance. Overwhelming hospitals kills people (and kills people well before they are literally out of beds).
I would think it’s the other way around: Important policy documents like this should be written in this format in order to minimise ambiguity and provide the space for detail.

As a formal guidance memorandum this format also allows for each section and paragraph to be uniquely referenced through with a logical structure, same as legal documents.

There will almost certainly be infographics and posters made of this document’s key points and distributed around the DoD, but they’ll refer back to this as the canonical source.

Honestly if more software companies worked this way there’d be less confusion and fewer cases of building the wrong thing, loss of institutional knowledge, and duplicated effort.
