White/orange orange white/green blue white/blue green white/brown brown is the typical standard[0] used for both ends of a straight-through cable. Of course, the color order doesn't really matter as long as it is the same on both ends, or one end only swaps the 1st and 2nd wire with the 3rd and 6th respectively[1].

[0] T-568B

[1] Normally this would be the green and orange pairs, resulting in T-568A. Modern Ethernet ports are pretty much all auto-sensing and will handle being connected either straight-through or crossed-over regardless of what device is on the other end.

Postlite author here. Patrick DeVivo mentioned using BI tools against Postlite, which sounded really interesting, but I think you're right. Those tools are going to heavily rely on dates which will not translate well between Postgres & SQLite.

I don't have any plans for query translation except for some basic client startup query handling (e.g. SET, SHOW). Postlite is really just meant as a thin shim to allow GUI tools to work remotely on SQLite databases.
I have control and command swapped in system preferences and the only other key combo I use is the CMD+Tab and Ctrl+Tab[1]. I have no issues this way. I will say system preferences is where I put all other key combos linked to AppleScripts.

I wouldn’t call it a sham. I think I’d rather some centralized orchestration of modern finance than none.

Im not claiming that centralized Fed is perfectly wise, nor we should be subservient too it. But I also don’t want to live in a non-government state with no financial system.. an example that comes to mind is Somalia.

I have been using Karabiner Elements for nearly a decade and have never noticed this. To me, it's indispensable (I remap Caps Lock to both CTRL and ESC depending on whether I hold or tap) and it's the very first thing I install when I get a new Mac.

There were some hiccups around the time of 10.12, but the developer resolved all the ones that I saw.
That is a broad question, going through a FPGA tutorial buying a small dev board. My first project was something similar to this, but a lot simpler.
The best RNG solution for the paranoid would have been to have a standardized internal header/connector with an analog-digital converter input and a power supply, like the connector that exists on most motherboards for the front-panel audio (but preferably with a higher-frequency and lower-resolution ADC than for audio, even if an audio ADC is also acceptable).

If such a connector would have been standardized, very small analog noise generator boards that could be plugged in it would cost only a few dollars at most, and they would not contain any device more complex than an operational amplifier.

This solution cannot be back-doored, because it is trivial to test the ADC without a noise-generator attached, to verify that it really is an ADC and the small PCB with the analog noise generator can also be easily inspected to verify that it contains only the specified (analog) devices.

All this could have been very simple and cheap if it would have been standardized, and not more difficult to use than the unverifiable CPU instructions.

As it is, the paranoid must have electronics experience, to design and make their own analog-noise generator, to be used either with the microphone input of the PC audio connectors (which includes a weak power supply), or better with the ADC of a small microcontroller board, to be connected via USB (preferably on an internal USB connnector of the PC motherboard).

Any distribution with a sufficient amount of entropy can be turned into "cryptographic-grade" randomness source using randomness extractors [1]. These work independently of any outside factors that might be trying to sneak signal (e.g. periodicity) into the noise -- as long as you can prove there's sufficient entropy to start with, you're good to go.

> In order to do that, I needed to relay a confirmation code that would be texted to me.

Everything up to that point matches exactly what happened when I got a call from my own bank (Charles Schwab) regarding fraudulent charges. However, whenever Schwab sends me a code (or Bank of America, Coinbase, etc) the code comes with a message stating that an employee will never ask you for this code.

The fact that OP is an "expert" yet fell for this shows me that they are in fact not an expert here. Don't get me wrong, the execution by the scammer was slick, but I would expect an "expert" to be familiar with their own bank's policies:

No, he was wrong. Ukraine is not part of NATO and Russia is attacking them. Had Ukraine was part of NATO, chances are Russia would not be attacking them. Or at least, NATO would had duty to help them.

The reason to be in NATO is to prevent Russia from attacking you.

If you zoom in enough there is noise everywhere. Thermal noise across a resistor is particularly easy to measure [0]. Purists might want a nuclear decay event[1], or even a cosmic ray detection[2] but the more complex the apparatus the more shenanigans can occur.

For hyper important entropy, humans must invest in a macroscopic and very slow spectacle - a publicly prepared experiment broadcast live to a large audience. [3]

and they have exclusive licensing agreements that makes it near impossible to get the full complete data.

bloomberg terminal is not something that can be disrupted by open source, it would be similar to creating a google competitor by scraping alexa 1000 websites. it won't win them over.
Entire article never mentions the word 'bond' or 'fixed income', which is basically the raison d'etre for the Bloomberg Terminal.

You can trade stocks with a laptop and a brokerage account. You're not going to be able to trade bonds without a Bloomberg Terminal. The killer components are industry standard calculations and nearly universal bond data. There are some proprietary analytics, but they are honestly an add on.

It's a market that should be ripe for disruption, because there are really a limited set of competitors, extracting near monopoly rents. At the same time open source only takes you so far because the data is the issue, and the issue is not market data, but reference data -- stuff that is mostly static, but potentially changing. It takes a lot of work to get that that right. (I worked for a fintech startup which went bankrupt because, among other reasons, we decided to create our own security master database, rather than buying it from a vendor. How hard could it be? Turns out very hard.)
Yeah like other snide comments mention - not sure this is that useful or something we really want.

Like, I get the company wanting to sell services to people who might do wasm stuff, the whole quip about cross platform CLI? I don't think devs care, we have multiple tools for that already, thanks, generally I dont think CLIs are selling points to the "end user". If they are, small niche market with crossover with said devs.

The rest of it, been there done that, JVM, JavaBeans. The point of wasm was to allow better browser experiences, not build components in another esoteric runtime. In this regard Wasm is no different than any other scripting language, and this product is another dime a dozen 'enterprise offering', with all the usual pitfall that comes with.

As is Finnish. And we do well. But the writing system was invented 600 years ago. So those Siberian-Eskimo-etc weird plosives and ingresses slowly disappeared, even if they were originally coded in the script.

As an anecdote: if the English had invented the writing system of Finnish, regular Goodnight ie "Hyvää Yötä" would have been written "Hiouaa'aa Io'ootaa". This is why these written Native American languages look so bad.

Split the population of all female ducks into two groups: those that can control the genes passed on to their offspring and those who can’t. From the female perspective, this is the question. Which group will be more successful?

The risk of drowning during mating is the same for both groups. So, neither group gets a natural selection advantage from being less likely to drown, because it is a constant risk for both groups.

The key here is that the males don’t know if the successfully mated with the female (passed on their genes) or not. Only the female knows.
The purpose of this software is to allow remote management of sqlite databases using existing postgres GUI tools.

> Postlite is a network proxy to allow access to remote SQLite databases over the Postgres wire protocol. This allows GUI tools to be used on remote SQLite databases which can make administration easier.

The readme does not seem to advertise this software as being a drop-in replacement for Postgres by any means, although I can understand your frustration with database vendors that market their software as such. I suspect they used Postgres as the wire format because otherwise they would need to invent one from scratch, and then work with existing tools to integrate. Leveraging the Postgres wire form means they can integrate with existing GUI tools on day one, and seems to be a very pragmatic choice.

The point of this war from Russia standpoint is that Ukraine should not exist as nation. The point is to take over Ukraine, change government to puppet one at best and then export their own autocracy there.

Then they may get ready for further expansion, as Russia has already done several times in their history. And Putin is in fact praising that history.

Yeah, IMHO apart from using combinatorial enumeration, that's how most of progress in physics happens. You start with an idea and see to what it applies. When you search for a theory of everything, you try to apply it to everything you know. If it applies to many different things, you may be on the right track.

The cop might have been going for intimidating, but there are a number of ways he could have had access to her middle name without abusing power:

- In my county (and every other county I've looked into in the US) real estate transactions and deed recordings are public record, available online, and sometimes include the purchaser's middle name.

- If it's a gated community, it almost certainly has a HOA, which would have an application/notification process (probably including ID info, potentially including a background/credit check) to feed information to the HOA board (which cops, being local government-oriented people, might be inclined to be involved with).

I end up using the built-in emacs key bindings a lot (they also work in many shells).

Ctrl-k (cut to the end of the current line and save it in a special secret extra clipboard) and ctrl-y to paste

Ctrl-e to go to the end of a line, ctrl-a to go to the beginning.

Ctrl-d to forward-delete, ctrl-t to transpose characters (this rarely saves time but I do it anyway).

You can also use ctrl with b, f, p, and n to go back or forwards one character or to the previous or next line, but I just use the arrow keys.

In my view, how you earn your money affects how you value it.

Many with cryptocurrency haven't had to do any hard honest work to obtain it, e.g. the early joiners who have just had to wait as their "wealth" accrues from later joiners, or even newer joiners who have made their "wealth" from scams or rugpulls or wash trading to artificially inflate the value of their NFTs or whatever. These people tend not to value their "wealth" in the same way as the "greater fools" who have had to work hard at honest jobs to earn their fiat prior to converting it to cryptocurrency, and so don't have such a problem with the constant risk of losing everything via loss or theft or market crash or whatever.
> This is Mearsheimer's point; if we didn't want conflict in Europe, we should not have run toward it.

If the NATO did not expanded, Russia would had it easy to continue to expand to those theoretically non-NATO countries. There would be war - whether in Ukraine or Latvia or Lithuania or Poland. Expanded up to whatever border of NATO would be.

Mearsheimer is wrong, because he completely ignores Russian state ideology and leadership. He treats them as merely reactive, poor things without agency. Russia could have been democracy, it could have been country in which communist victims are rehabilitated or in which political opposition is not violently suppressed. That it is not so was due to choices of people who got power after 1990. And war in Ukraine is happening because of conscious choices of those exact same people.

> Both sides are responsible for furthering their own agendas, and the agendas are incompatible when they meet.

You want to make it about two sides, because you want to ignore people and nations this is about. Ukraine has its own side. Eastern and Central European countries are different side then USA, although they really really want USA protection right now. And yes, existence of Ukraine as democratic independent nation was incompatible with Russian agenda of becoming USSR again. However, that is not expression of Western interests. That is expression of Ukrainian interests.

Framing them as Western interests is just weak attempt to delegitimatize them. Western countries don't care about Ukraine itself all that much, Ukrainians themselves do. Countries next to Russia and Ukraine worry about Russia expansion beyond Ukraine.
Yes, but that makes it a pretty elitist thing no? Maybe elitist is the wrong word (not a native english speaker), but I mean; I would be able to always make the test fail for the computer if I am the interrogator because because. I cannot say why. Something like you say and something where I think that there is a very large % of the world population who will not be able to make that distinction.

An interesting would be to do the Turing test with a timer; the interrogator gets 30s for each session and has to say who is what within 30s and then continue to the next batch. I think computers would go very very far if you do that. But that is the attention span consider normal currently for human/human social media interaction; often even less.
I don't believe I've ever seen the US fix any root problem in my lifetime (I'm a millenial). There are historical examples, but it seems like all the problems of the country today are impossible. If anything, we're backsliding on issues previously considered solved, like black lung for instance. Given that, I'd rather just live in denial. That's me - obviously I don't tend toward the optimistic.
Why not build operating systems as layers?
Disclaimer: I am not a professional programmer, nor am I very well-versed in OS theory.
Nevertheless I have the following question:
Why do people still build OS's from scratch, and dont just use the base system and wrap it in an OS of their liking?
For example, mezzano a lisp OS is, it seems to me, pretty much built from scratch.
Why do these guys not just build a lisp OS on top of some UNIX-system, so that every call to the OS goes through that layer?
As an example:
Some people complain that UNIX files are essentially just a lot of text, with not much further information.
Why not just write an additional layer that uses those files as the base but also stores more information about them somewhere?
Maybe it would be too slow, or maybe some system calls cant be passed through an additional layer. Or maybe I am not seeing something immediately obvious to any professional. But I feel like I am probably going to learn something from the answer, so I will just go ahead and ask.
