Sure. It's less abstracted than anything except for machine code but that doesn't make it not a language.
Borg supports local and SFTP backups while Restic supports more (a lot more). S3, Google Cloud, B2, etc. In fact, they integrate with rclone so anything you can access using rclone, you can backup to using Restic.

Borg uses compression while Restic does not. Restic just uses deduplication so your backups with Restic will likely be larger in size.

Anyway, that's what jumps to mind. They're both pretty great honestly (in terms of community support and reliability). There are a lot of other options too btw. The Restic repo has a pretty good list [1]

"This is… you get to keep booth pieces" was the actual license text of something I ported to linux late in 1992 or early in 1993. (The middle bit was something about free software, I think.) Can't remember what software that was though.
What exactly did Dijkstra say about Cobol Programmers?

In 1975, Edsgar Dijkstra famously proclaimed that “The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should, therefore, be regarded as a criminal offence[sic].” This undoubtedly led to the decline of teaching COBOL in universities, but it remained the dominant business language.
We are not a serious people.
Given the HFCS reference I'm guessing you're in the USA. Have you tried comparing effects of 12oz of 'regular Coca-Cola' vs 'Mexican Coca-Cola' -- the latter costs more and can be found at foodie places, etc. and is made using sucrose not HFCS.

One of the confounders in your statement is that candy is a food (well kind of) and has a certain rate of digestion and delivery internally whereas soda is well a liquid with a much higher rate/spike of fructose (and glucose). This is basically a second order confounder that can be tested by drinking the other kind of Coca-Cola which isn't HFCS based.
Continuous functions aren't necessarily differentiable.

I'm in my van right now, out on some BLM land with others parked in most directions. The fifth wheelers can ONLY be hauled by a truck because of the way they are designed. Regular hitch-pulled trailers come in all sorts of sizes, and over the weekend we were parked next to two that got pulled by SUVs.

But sure, I take your point, there are legitimate, "ordinary" needs to pull a lot of weight sometimes. The question is whether the frequency of these really justifies this sort vehicle being someone's daily driver.

It's silly for people who've decided they don't want to be parents to then style themselves as marginalized and build an identity around opposition to their imagined persecution. There's nothing wrong with not reproducing, but really you have more in common with parents of one child than they have in common with parents of six children.

It's important to note that the EU defense pact carries out EU-coordinated missions unrelated to NATO-style defenses. These missions are arranged by a body in which Denmark doesn't have a voice at the moment, and every country can pick and choose which missions their troops go on. The military involvement in a given mission is not forced just by being part of the pact. On the other hand, not being part of the pact excludes Denmark from any missions they might have an interest in.

Why Satellite links will become Ukraine’s primary weapon
Not everyone knows where Ukraine is or how big it is. Geographically it’s wedged between Poland to its North West and the Black Sea to the South. Russia is on its Eastern flank.
And Ukraine is big. Were it a US State it would rank number 3, just behind Texas but well ahead of California.

The Soviet Union has tried invading a similar sized country before and retreated in defeat 10 years later. Afghanistan shares a common border with Russia and crossing the border in 1979 was probably the only easy part of that protracted war. That invasion did have a pretext though: supporting Afghanistan’s Communist puppet regime. This conflict has no pretext: it’s simply a land-grab.

With a land mass of this size, the invader can close-down local TV, internet, phone lines and mobile masts but can’t control the vast majority of the country or what’s in the sky hundreds of miles above; and for most of Ukraine, satellite communication is the only means of exchanging information. Battlefield communications use a combination of localised and satellite links as these are the most resilient, but 40-odd years on from Afghanistan, locals can now have access to the same resilient comms.

That’s a game changer because now voice, video, text and pics can all be uploaded by just about anyone in the battlefield with an ease unprecedented in any war; and as with any satellite communication it’s almost impossible to detect at ground level, giving a distinct advantage to the locals.

If Russians remain Ukraine-wide, they’re going to have major challenges on at least two fronts: managing so large a country as an occupying force and winning the hearts and minds of the remaining Ukrainians. There’s also the none too trivial matter of paying for it all as financial sanctions begin to bite. This time around it’s the hearts and minds issue that will take centre stage as Ukraine has the digital means to refute any spinning of any Ukraine related content that the Russians may put out.

If the Russians stay, the skill base of young Ukrainians in particular is going to be decisive in foreshortening the occupation. They’re very tech savvy, talented creatively and they’ll be bursting to throw the Russians out. They won’t be using hand grenades or Molotov cocktails; instead, they’ll be blogging, posting and hacking. Their targets will be Ukrainian infrastructure that Russians now control, military communications of the old school type (much easier to hack) and Russians on the ground who are wondering why they’re there. They’ll be the target of one of the most intensive reverse propaganda campaigns ever mounted and it will all be done via satellite.

The invasion may have been started by boots and tanks on the ground, but it will be ended by young Ukrainians fingers and keyboards connected together far above the sky.

Never heard of it that way in france with my friends, for me it was always 80-86, 80-88 or just 386 or 286 (or 80-286 if you wanted to sound technical).
Have the options for making and installing images on windows improved? I've looked into some a while in the past for work but they always seemed to come with enough caveats that they wouldn't quite work for our case. E.g. very few of the machines have the same hardware configuration, and outside of a few bits of common software each department has its own unique software requirements and variation within departments

If you don't use latest, your ecosystem fragments and risks diamond dependencies. If you do use latest, some of your ecosystem risks randomly breaking.

I think it's best to use latest because the combinatorics of the ecosystem as a whole is much smaller. With everything on latest, you have to play whack-mole on individual services to get them to catch up. But you are doing this just when the community at large is most invested in understanding the process of upgrading.

The alternative is that ancient binary A depends on ancient binary
B's legacy behaviour, and B has no need to upgrade but A have a very serious need and now you have a serious problem. Maybe upgrading B breaks C for instance. It's almost uncoordinateable at that point once versions drift significantly. You get true technical debt.

It could use the Accept header if there is no extension. For example, if it ends with ".html" then it will display the HTML, if it ends with ".json" then the JSON, and if neither then use the Accept header. Having an extension to override it is useful; when not explicitly specified then it could use the Accept header to do it instead.

(Another comment mentions that Cloudflare doesn't work with it, but Cloudflare has a lot of undesirable features anyways, so I do not use it.)

Another possibility might be <link rel="data">, in case you want to access data (which could have multiple formats (e.g. CSV, JSON, etc), so could occur more than once) without having the URL already or having to run the web application to do everything.

No, we don’t have a chance to protest. It’s simply not how it works here. People in Europe have a chance to protest, people in USA have a chance to protest, but not the people in Russia. We don’t. When you protest in Russia you just get jailed the very same day and that’s it.

Most assemblers have macros and other directives that give you some level of higher-order control than just writing machine code.
That's normal and even kaspersky does it...but you can easily deactivate it, so your proprietary exe is not published ;)

PS: And that function makes sense for "the public" don't you think?
I literally didn't say the network code was different. But server load, internet requirements (have fun hosting an Ultima Online server for your friends on a 56K modem), and more make it impractical for any single user to host a server.

Quake II is literally not the same as an MMO. You have a small map with a maximum of, what, 32 players? MMOs can have thousands. Most modern MMOs can handle hundreds in the same zone before they become unplayably laggy. Most can't handle thousands in one zone, even on the machines the servers were built for. You can't do that as a consumer.

It's not about the code. It's about the game itself and its requirements.

Emulating servers doesn't change that.

Again, it's all about being able to connect everyone that is playing and the difficult parts being managed for you. You never have to worry about spinning up a dedicated server to play with your friends. You just load in, invite them to party, and queue up. These conveniences are why this model is popular, not because of this bizarre conspiracy you're pushing.

I don’t think your comment makes any sense. Yes gulags imprisoned a lot of people, actually a lot of heavily educated individuals but still it was not the majority of the population.

What Russia in that case would do they would probably either implement some spam detection or just flat out disable SMS messaging in the country.
“Phase out” without a timeframe or plan sounds a lot like “Do nothing”.
This issue affects thousands of anti-war/anti-Putin folks who fled Russia.
Agreed. Additionally I I think it may look more impressive to novice buyers when the product lists a bunch of free (albeit worthless) software included in their purchase.
With the top comments (now) all talking about the fact that this universal approximation theorem doesn't really have much impact in the real world. I wonder, is this interesting outside of theory? Has this motivated any techniques that have created (or may create) real-world, empirical results? Could it even?
Doesn't matter because Russia has gone full blown dictatorship.

Did you know a big enough hash-table can compute any function?
They don’t need crypto to do that. They can garnish your bank accounts already.
I don't think these numbers are meaningful. It's not far off from a degree-2 interpolation already, and I got a hidden layer size of 20 to an error of 7e-5 by just letting it optimise for longer and picking a seed that worked well, which is basically the same error as a degree-1 interpolation that gets 5e-5.

Like sure the spline is doing better, but that's not why we care, it's not like there's a general sense in which spline interpolations are going to be better than the optimal fit from a larger neural network, they're just a simpler, faster, more numerically stable way of solving simpler problems. An optimiser designed for 1D interpolation of small neural networks, for all I know, might get extremely accurate results.
"These sanctions, including VISA and MasterCard block, endangered and condemned thousands if not tens and hundreds of thousands of people who have nothing to do with Putin's decision to invade Ukraine. Hell, it endangered 145 millions of people in Russia. Because these sanctions don't hurt Putin or his oligarch supporters but they hurt regular people, who are now facing simply the danger of default."

It is with the support of our citizens that the government invades other countries, so all citizens within the country are responsible. Unite against the Putin regime, we need go to the streets. Unfortunately, the collapse of the country is inevitable and only a change of government can change that. Sanctions will only increase until the withdrawal of our oil and gas.
Even rely of dedicated people to pressure others before the police even comes now.
If it's not about learning this result is useless. A lookup table can compute any function, but who cares?

This list is pretty FP-biased (even Scala, despite being a hybrid language, is mainly well-known for the FP bits it brings to the table rather than any new innovations on the OO side).

There's a lot of other mind-expanding non-FP programming languages. Here are some ones I'd suggest.

For new high-level ideas of programming semantics:

1. Prolog: This teaches you how to program without the notion of "execution" at all. Even in pure FP languages, there is still the notion of "calling" a function which roughly corresponds to a notion of "execution." (yes eventually execution creeps in as you start working with IO, but unification is still a very different way of thinking about programming than function/procedure calls)

2. Forth: RPN on steroids. The semantic foundation of a lot of other esolangs.

For lower-level ideas of how computers work and how programming relates to that (but that don't introduce very different programming semantics):

1. Smalltalk: The usual exemplar of image-based programming. Even if the actual programming model is not terribly esoteric, the way of interacting with the machine being programmed is a very different way of programming than the usual batch-oriented programming model that occurs with a compiler or interpreter constantly being spun up and spun down.

2. Assembly: Again, not terribly esoteric, and not all that interesting from a CS perspective, but it's extremely useful for a working programmer to understand what things compile to.

3. Racket (a modification of Scheme I suppose and not fully outside of FP as a result): You'll never be afraid of creating a DSL again (whether you should of course is a different manner).
And after that they just end up in jail and won’t be able to post anything anywhere anymore.
One might say it is the only programming language, everything else is just macro expansion, converting pseudo-english mnemonics into machine instruction.

Snark aside, yes, people program entire operating systems and programs and games in assembly. Famously, Rollercoaster Tycoon was written entirely in assembly.

My proof that you can compute any function with a single neuron:

What drives policies like this? Is this being led by Native American or indigenous groups? Is this a top priority in terms of lobbying effort?

In NJ, there's a new law going in effect that would ban single use bags state-wide, both paper and plastic. You won't even be able to buy a single use bag, but a more expensive and "re-usable" bag that is almost certain to be worse for the environment as you'd have to re-use it a lot to reduce waste.

These kinds of laws strike me as very out of touch with what typical Americans care about and think politicians should be doing. The bag law will be incredibly inconvenient, especially to people in urban areas that don't obsess about environmental politics. Even if you agree with the goals of these types of laws, they strike me as ineffective.

Just install uBlock on your friends and families browsers. Most people seems fine with being tracked if that means they get "offers" they don't want to miss. I however detest anything connected to advertisement to the level that I frequently hang up when our own sales people call me because I directly spot a salesperson, even before I recognize the voice... Quite embarrasing sometimes :-)

So I install uBlock, uMatrix and Pi-hole everywhere. Also help customers do the same with sane defaults so they get rid of most stuff without burning their whole browser.

And as an advertiser we don't have to pay for the people that didn't want to see our ads in the first place, win win loose :-)
To understand Putin you need to remember that time you interacted with a school bully. Even the most insignificant act of defiance is met with aggression and pain, fear leads to escalation, but kick him in the nuts once and it all goes away.
I can understand not promising to fix bugs (in fact, I'd say that's the default), but not wanting to even find out about them seems very strange. It must be someone who doesn't like their own software.
More likely too late but I would just hang out here and absorb as much knowledge as possible.

I do not believe this anecdote. The top selling vehicles each year are full size pickup trucks, last year alone they accounted for 10% of sales (1). The F series has been America's most popular car for 40 years (2).

Are they really being bought in the "overwhelming" majority by trades people? The numbers suggest they're just popular cars.

Americans are in love with pickup trucks, it's an entire subculture.

And at least where I live, which has some nasty weather conditions, the trades people I've worked with over the last few years all drive vans. Landscapers and garbage pickers are some of the exceptions.

It’s worth mentioning that, although hardware keys are increasingly supported, if they are not available, there are usually fallbacks to less secure factors, such as email or phone numbers.

What’s the point of a hardware key then, if email also works?
Why? Yes, it says that.

It's also 6000 words long.

I'm saying it's not that hard.

I'm not saying the article is wrong or anything, I'm saying you can get to the same result MUCH faster.

"You can turn a neural net into a lookup table" should be easily understood by anyone that knows both of those concepts.

Edit: Like, isn't triggering specific outputs on specific input conditions the first thing that's usually shown about neural nets? If not a full lookup table, that's at least 90% of one and you just need to combine the outputs.
Not sure when you last looked into Glacier, but they did away with the "peak hourly request" fee which could be insane if you restored data too quickly. Pricing is much more reasonable now.
You still have to wait hours to download your data, but Glacier deep archive is about $.001/GB per month for storage and about $0.29/GB to download (plus some transaction fees that aren't usually significant).

Malware authors have tooling to run their payloads across many vendors all at once. I'm sure Defender is on the shortlist, but it probably doesn't matter much.

Further, AV is inherently a "catches known threats" technology, as much as any AV may pretend otherwise. Some people will always get owned but by virtue of those users' AV picking up samples the sample will eventually make it to various AVs.

If your goal is to avoid AV bypasses, I'd suggest changing your goals. Instead, treat AV as it is - a technology for finding known bad things. If you want to avoid unknown bad things you need to take another approach.
