> Many runtimes, including Microsoft’s own CRTs, don’t call GetCommandLineW and instead do their own parsing.

I think that's supposed to be CommandLineToArgv here.

As many others, I started on dos, then Windows and finally Linux. When I switched to Linux I found it really odd that the parsing is done by the shell, and how you can't know whether the user typed in a lot of jpg files or the shell expanded *.jpg. but the more I used it, the more reasonable it appeared. You almost never really need to know whether the shell expanded something or not. There is no ambiguity between programs, as the article also mentions. This has bitten me in Windows before, but was somehow just a fact of life. Quoting on Linux is consistent. On Windows, the first time you want to enter a command line that contains multiple literal " and spaces, you want to jump off the nearest cliff. Except you don't if you never used anything else, because it's just normal that every program uses somewhat different parsing rules.
Can you provide any docs or technology name? I still don't understand how the routing devices can tell which IPv6 to route the reply to if they receive two reply packets from the same server to the same IPv4 address. With CGNAT they would assign a TCP/UDP source port in the outgoing request, and use that to route based on destination port in the incoming reply, with all the disadvantages that brings.

Can it be done without stateful connection tracking?
In this case limiting complexity would have worked: don't support frivolous amounts of image codecs (like the fax format here), just support 1-2, and make sure there is high assurance of the safety using known methods (security oriented code design, memory safe language, fuzzing, and sandboxing).
TBH, synology and qnap have awful track records when it comes to data integrity and cause a ton of issues even when using the software the "intended" way. SMB is a chatty protocol in general which makes it hard to troubleshoot, and because of default lack of write-through, you have a non-trivial chance of a situation where the SMB stack returns "this write was a-okay!" but in fact the data never landed on disk and only hit the cache.

My team works with a lot of clients for backups and we've had so many silent corruption cases with lousy synology and qnap boxes that we just don't support them when using SMB or NFS anymore; the built-in stack is just too unreliable. iSCSI is a bit better, but iSCSI isn't how a lot of people want their NAS to work, so it's always a tough discussion. General purpose servers with proper endpoints have always been better, but it's a hard sell to clients.

Directly-attached USB is marginally better in that you don't deal with network protocols, but a lot of companies cheap out on USB controllers and it's a challenge sometimes to convince clients that the on-board controller is the issue when single (small) file writes work without issue.

But long story short, I'd propose a small general purpose server (even Raspberry Pi!) over a QNAP/Synology any day of the week. The latter does everything simply but with excess mediocrity. From my point of view, they hit MVP across a dozen + items, but competency in none.
Yeah, I considered getting into that, but it was late and it didn't feel that important.
The point is rather shallow, in that case. There are measurable differences in quality of life (e.g. human development index) between established democracies and autocracies.
Not in(side) the hairs of their fur, on the hairs of their fur/in the entire fur. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D#Evolution:

In birds and fur-bearing mammals, fur or feathers block UV rays from reaching the skin. Instead, vitamin D is created from oily secretions of the skin deposited onto the feathers or fur, and is obtained orally during grooming.

So they take vitamin D orally, producing it on their bodies.
Wow. This site is great, really. Fantastic job.
Depending on location, there are nudist accepting places. E.g. in Paris there's a nudist park, and there are nude beaches and places across France, Spain, Germany at the very least.
Here's where your analysis is wrong:

Elon Musk doesn't have "bananas". He has shares of stock in Tesla, which are largely only of value because he is running the company. Him owning that stock doesn't mean fewer "bananas" for anyone. Taking away his shares of stock won't produce any more "bananas".

We are seeing people hording land. These lands are not being given to developers and people who can make the best use of it, which are very likely to be other wealthy people.

Instead of rewarding wealthy people for increasing the pie, we just give wealthy people free money for sitting on lands and having that appreciate, rather than selling it to someone who can use it.

"Robust housing market" and rising price is not a good thing. It is a socioeconomic disaster.

Another way we becomes poorer: Pattern of development that incentivize ownership of expensive items just to participate in society, like cars and roads.
What "limited resources" are billionaires hoarding compared to the everyone else?
At that point the clocks become interesting not as "time keeping devices", but rather as "the only sensor capable of detecting such small space-time curvatures.
VR seems great for folks, but you're putting your eyes' ciliary muscles into a cast and then working the rest of you out. Few activities put your eyes at a fixed 1.3m focal distance for the entire time.
Agreed, except the aggregation of physical labor and assets is also not that simple. Many tech companies have very few assets on paper, yet nevertheless have an enormous amount of influence.

I think in the end it comes back to comparing capital. Which sounds a bit familiar...

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence: Bayesian view? (2021)
> I Am Not a Serial Killer by Dan Wells was an enjoyable surprise.

I saw the film adaptation¹ in a local cinema without knowing anything about it beforehand and was very pleasantly surprised by this gem of a film. Thanks for the reminder; I must check out the book.

The Roman republic fell for many reasons, one of the big reasons was Augustus Caesar controlled much of the world's most powerful states, including Egypt. This level of wealth today would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 7 trillion dollars or 40 times richer than Jeff Bezos.

This fortune was so vast that Augustus was able to pay to recruit, train, and upkeep the entire Roman military- all 60 legions- alone. In addition, he was able to fund multiple grand building projects, massive political reforms, and keep a tidy fortune for himself and his heirs. Augustus became the Defacto state.

These are rough numbers because currency conversion across 2 millennia is impossible. Augustus was worth at least 1/3 of the Roman Empires' total GDP. This means of every 3 dollars in the Roman Economy 1 dollar was Augustus’.

Wealth concentration disrupts society and makes society susceptible autocratic holders of wealth.

What exactly is your point? AWS should use consumer drives?
"Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" has been interpreted both probabilistically and deterministically. As suited to the question, the answers here assume the probabilistic form (PF).

PF: If you look and fail to observe evidence for A,
that does not support lowering your estimated probability of A.

As the accepted answer says, "When the hypothesis being true or false changes the probability of the observation, evidence is contributed." So, PF is false, except in the case where P(observation|A) = 0.

However, popular use of the aphorism generally seems to assume the deterministic form (DF).

DF: If you look and fail to observe evidence for A,
that does not imply not-A.

DF is a caution against the logical fallacy of argumentum ad ignorantiam, an argument of the form: There is no reason that A; therefore, not-A.

It turns out that DF is not always true. It is false when you are certain to observe evidence if A is true, that is, P(observation|A) = 1. In philosophy, this requirement is called epistemic coverage.

The major work on DF is Douglas Walton's Arguments from Ignorance (1996), where he covers the history of argumentum ad ignorantiam and practical examples of where DF is or is not true. Walton later worked on application to AI and the problem of reasoning with restricted information.
My SO is a full-time student and I'm 100% remote, with my desk in our bedroom and their desk in the living room. Our desks used to be in the same room, but only for a day. We'd both had separate meetings going on at the same time and realized it wasn't possible at all.

Usually in the morning we'll ask the other if they "have anything going on that day (i.e. have to be at school from noon to 2pm)" or "if they have any meetings". We like to keep each other in the loop.
I can find chocolate not by those "monopolies" very easily?
Right? And if you want redundancy, burn multiple copies on discs made by different manufacturers.

That said as said in the other comment M-DISC is really the way to go. Burn a couple of these, store them separately. They're rated for 1,000 years of storage if stored even somewhat properly. You can get them in 100GB sizes, so perfect for this kind of job. Burners aren't crazy expensive, 100GB discs were around $10/disc last time I bought.
Huh, interesting! Running Docker on a NAS definitely wouldn’t have crossed my mind. Thanks.
Good point! Though, is it not true that these paper assets can be and are used to take out pseudo-gratis loans, hence in some sense they are real? Maybe the hypothetical billionaire is not worth that much, but the house he got against the paper wealth is definitely real and did not affect his financial power as much as it affects people buying it against 10% upfront.
You mean you've lived in an enviroment where these things tend to happen.

Maybe it's time you up the standard of your associates. Those standards are high and low in all countries. It's your choice to associate or tolerate them or find those that have a higher standard.

As said, my experiences have been different.

Good luck,
Exercise is the killer app for VR. If they figure out full body tracking too, they will give (and capture) a ton of value.
This a legit post. Not sure why it is downvoted. Typical preachy HN.

| Flash was basically a blank canvas where you can do just about anything. Turns out that's not a very good model for a number of reasons

I don’t think of this as a bad thing. There was exactly a lot of what you say happening around that time, but the time when Flash was biggest was also a time of massive creativeness on the web. I think we’re missing some of that now, and I’m more than ok with our collective “pendulum” swinging back towards the blank canvas than the overfit tech world we have today.
Driving While Baked? Inside the High-Tech Quest to Find Out
Totally. I don’t like narration around dividing between “poor” and “rich”. I rather see value providers vs nonvalue providers.

A billionaire investing his capital in the business providing work and quality products for society is great.
What I don't like is underpaying employees, shady businesses with low value and abusing the legal system.
It wouldn't be? If the software was built for libedit then I'm sure that's fine.

In the clisp case it was clearly built for libreadline, and trying to unbundle and repackage it differently doesn't erase that fact.

What the courts will ask and what you need to ask yourself is, was the distribution model for a software done in a way to try to circumvent the spirit of the license?

Law and contracts are not code. They are not interpreted in the strictest reading of the words, but in a reasonable interpretation of their meaning.
Yes, to needle noise

I didn’t grow up with those things so it is neither nostalgia or being “retro”, I like things that makes the consumer’s eyes and ears search
It's not about tech point scoring, it's about quickly solving a problem. Specifically how can my customers on IPv6-only networks reach my service hosted on Heroku (which does not support IPv6)? Cloudflare is a practical and relatively easy solution to that problem.
To play devil's advocate, we could tax 100% of the wealth of those individuals which would cover the cost of another US invasion of Iraq.

"A partial or a full invasion of Ukraine could create a new flow of IDPs and refugees, which, depending on the extent of the fighting, could involve millions of people that need humanitarian assistance, including shelter, food, and protection."

"Despite this possibility, European governments have been less than proactive in conducting contingency planning. So far, leading European donors and humanitarian actors have not announced contingency plans."

This doesn't look good, Europe!

Yeah the LGPL gets a little technical, but at ita core it's really just saying there needs to be a way for the user to replace the LGPL library that is used.

If it was statically linked on then some sort of relink ability needs to be provided.

It's more like advice for people who want to incorporate LGPL software.
my favorite hot take from the economist about this war was that one article that considered if Russia might lose because the roads in Ukraine during spring are just dirty and bad

from one of the worst publications to get one’s opinions from this graduated into comedy

edit: for some people it was a serious enough proposition to entertain that i had to check and indicate that no, the analysis shows that russia won’t lose because of dirty roads
So your 10 lines of bash use a bunch of other programs to do almost all the work, right?

So what you need is a good language that lets you concisely express ways of calling out to other programs. Not necessarily a language that's backward-compatible with whatever seemed like a good idea for a CLI in 1979.
> accessibility-fifth

I usually use "accessibility-second", but thinking about it you're right. Most web frameworks assumes a "normal" person and even some dismiss making their frameworks accessible to a broader audience.
From what I understand (I don't have sources for this, other than memory):

Processing the DMCA notices has a cost. Nothing requires the DMCA notice to be in a machine readable format (although AI is getting better at this type of task), so it often requires a human in the loop. And they were getting sued by the copyright holders regardless of protections under DMCA. So they struck a deal with the copyright holders, that instead of them sending Google a DMCA, Google would provide an interface and automation to handle this, in return for the rights holders dropping their lawsuits.
The style guide always uses (( so the operators are numerical comparison.

We've added rudimentary foot tracking to our fitness game ( https://youtu.be/ZBdYOnZ35Lk ) and are working with SlimeVR to get full body tracking into our game ( which will be an important aspect ) but it will still take VR some time before that becomes a smooth experience that's available everywhere
OP, Could you describe how it works internally?
Hum. A command line, the thing you write on shells, is a command followed by a series of parameters. That's its form on Unix, and DOS/Windows didn't deviate from it in any way. It could have created a different interface, but it didn't.
I've long wished Pijul had a git backend because I think it might be superior but strongly feel the only way it could get mass adoption even if it's truly better is if people could just try it on their git repos like this.

Removing the "convince my team to move away from git" part of a better DVCS could make jujutsu very popular.

Or other git compatible spinoffs could be made that follow this approach and explore other design spaces.
Could we not use these timebases as a planet-sized gravitational wave antenna array?

I haven't had a hardware failure in so long, it's scary. I keep wondering when my next failure is going to be but my countless laptops, hard drives, NAS, and desktop systems keep chugging along without issue.

I know of a Netgear consumer NAS I installed in 2011 is still running a business, untouched. It uses two enterprise drives in a mirror config.

How to optimize the security, size and build speed of Docker images
I thought it was common knowledge. Here’s some information from the Environmental Protection Agency:

> Americans, on average, spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors,1 where the concentrations of some pollutants are often 2 to 5 times higher than typical outdoor concentrations

There’s been so much research on this by so many different organizations around the world, as far as I’ve known almost everybody was aware of this as fact.

There is an extraordinary amount of data online about this, should be easy to find. On average, outdoor air is healthier than indoor air, often by a wide margin. The above is from the EPA site: https://www.epa.gov/report-environment/indoor-air-quality

Also https://www.cnbc.com/2016/04/22/indoor-air-can-be-deadlier-t...
I don’t think that’s a strong argument. Counterarguments:

- it’s easy to hit a Unix command line length limit when a single * argument expands into many arguments. xargs solves that, but it shouldn’t be necessary.

- Unix tools cannot discriminate between * and the list of arguments it expands to. Consequently, rm cannot know whether you typed a single * or the specific list it expands into, so it cannot silently accept the latter and ask ‘are you sure’ for the former.

- “cat foo* > foos” or “grep -r foo * > foos” fill up your disk.

- tools that don’t want to accept file names as input have to do all kinds of escaping to prevent it. For example, you can’t have a calculator that can be invoked with

calc 3 * 4 + 5

(sed, perl or python one-liners suffer the same fate)

I think a system library function to do the globbing, etc. would have been the better choice.

I also guess Unix doesn’t have that only because, back in the time globbing was invented, it would make all the executables so much larger.
If tanning were worth it, to me, then I’d probably figure it out.

This is amazing to read.
When people are looking for advice on what to do to be more healthy they're usually pointed towards routines or habits of exercise. In truth I feel like the best way is finding something you have fun with, routine comes in pretty easily after.
It is hard not to be skeptical about the drum beats for war. Pick any conflict from Vietnam to Syria/Iraq and you'll find a complicit media parroting false pretenses.

Yes, it has begun to dawn on me that since

d/dt e^(iwt) = iwe^(iwt)

(frequency w, time t) that

e^(iwt)

is both an eigenvector of simple versions of Schrödinger's equation and also, essentially via Fourier theory, one axis of an orthogonal basis of a linear algebra (or Hilbert space if prefer that since it permits infinitely many orthogonal basis vectors) representation of quite general wave function solutions to the equation. And just by including more basis vectors, can get whatever level of accuracy we might want.

That is, the terns in the Fourier transform act like the coefficients in the linear combination of basis vectors, the linear combination that approximates the wave function solution of Schrödinger's equation.

So, essentially we are into harmonic motion, e.g., swinging pendulums, whether we wanted to be or not.

Then we are ready to guess that for treatment of the electron in a hydrogen atom we will be into something like Sturm-Liouville theory of two point boundary value problems and standing waves, vibrating violin strings, etc. That is, an electron in what it does with a hydrogen nucleus will be like a vibrating violin string.

Thanks.

What the other folks on this thread have said about the magic of kids is absolutely right. I’ll add a few things, when you have young kids (especially more than one for the first 5 years or so) it is difficult to have hobbies (and be a good partner/dad) because the kids can be all consuming. This transition can be hard. But, I have never grown so much as a person, or found so much meaning and joy from anything else I have ever done in my life.
