Alcohol objectively causes physiological CNS depression. Whether or not it necessarily causes the mood of depression or 'major depressive disorder' as diagnosed by clinical psychologists or psychiatrists is another matter.
That seems unlikely considering that businesses are much more rational at costing things out than hobbyists.
That gives me an idea. Create a decorator or otherwise wrap the logging function as you build the apps test context, and feed it a list of sensitive strings you want to detect. Then each time as logger is called have it assert that all those strings are not within the log message.

This way it would blow up on the test that is leaking the credential so you could track it right down and it would transparently apply to all current and future unit tests without any more effort.

> It turns out that Covid messes up your immune system and will reinfect you multiple times, so there will be no natural herd immunity.

I have an incredibly hard time believing this. Either this is true for basically every other virus we've dealt with since time began or covid is so unique and so novel that it somehow managed to do what no virus has done in the millions and billions of years viruses have existed.

Quite frankly, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence no matter what "expert" says it's true.
Normally people optimise for their life, not for their eventual few years of retirement and death.
On the contrary, it had a larger one because it had green threads which require an entire runtime (similar to Go).
Hope Gitea gets added! Definitely my top pick at the moment.
Enacting property rights over those natural resources is the initial act of coercion that makes trade possible.

Merely using resources isn't coercion but it doesn't "result in property" unless you also apply coercion to exclude others from them.

(Seems like a pointless word game you're trying to play here.)

I answered the exact same no to that question, moving out of NYC when my job went permanently remote since the pandemic. I moved to semi-rural Virginia where my family is, and bought a house with far more space and a pool than I could have dreamed of within commuting distance of NYC.
From an interview with the directors:

Sinclair: Why were they only able to jack in through hard-lines, but still able to communicate over cell?

WachowskiBros: Sinclair, good question! Mostly we felt that the amount of information that was being sent into the Matrix required a significant portal. Those portals, we felt, were better described with the hard lines rather than cell lines. We also felt that the rebels tried to be invisible when they hacked that’s why all the entrances and exits were sort of through decrepit and low traffic areas of the Matrix.

if you are able to do a resale at a much higher price, the price from Sony or whatever should be higher. The bots are just discovering the real market price. Not sure why they don't raise the price to whatever the bots are selling at.
Drivers aren't plugins. They link to and incorporate GPL code. You can't grant special terms in that scenario. The best they can do is dual license their headers. The hazy area is where no linking happens and it's just a pure API without code sharing.

Lots of reasons why people hate SF. The homeless problems, the petty crime. The smell, the dirtiness, the shitty weather, the actual danger of stepping on human feces, the drug use.

To each their own, but I think it's important for people to get out of their headspace and see things from a more general perspective as well. There are very good reasons why people don't like SF and unless people who love the city acknowledge those things, change is likely impossible.
Well... yeah, that's the crux of it.

But the patented part is treating each channel separately; the actual compression algorithm isn't at issue (which, in Red's case, is JPEG2000).

That said, as soon as you get into colorspace conversions or color sampling conversions (like YUV, etc), you're baking in choices and dealing with quantization and roundoff errors. If you want the most pristine image possible for dealing with it in post, you want the raw photosite information. And if you want that, without deBayering (which introduces those same errors!), you get to pay Red a royalty check.

I don't make the rules, I'm just pointing out what the stakes are here. Yeah, it's pretty fundamental and obvious now, but at the time no one was selling a professional video camera with a single chip for that price. It was a different world.

The collective trauma to kids in the USA who don't feel safe at school is heart-breaking. Trauma doesn't evaporate, it warps you. Especially at that age.

Rolling your own has some benefits, though. Such as not being as big a target as a provider that services many sites, and being more in control of the auth data, and not being reliant on a service that's beyond your control to not suddenly stop working or shut down.

I used to glorify these schools until I worked in finance, where basically everyone went to a top 5 usa school. They were quick, organized, efficient with their work, on the ball, competitive. But intellectually superior? Not really. They were definitely smart, but the traits that got them into those schools werent raw intellect.
> Covid was a novel virus, which means it was and still is a poorly understood virus.

I'm sorry, but that just isn't true. In what way is covid so new that we need to throw out our entire body of knowledge surrounding viruses and respiratory illnesses?

It would be profoundly anti-democratic. Just, as a thought experiment, imagine if the game was "Socialist Utopia: Central Planning Works." A requirement like you propose would amount to a program of ideological indoctrination, either deliberate or inadvertent.

I haven’t looked at the claims here, but the independent claims are the most broad claims of a patent. The dependent claims are always necessarily narrower. So, even if an independent claim is invalidated, it’s dependent claim may survive if it is novel and non-obvious over the prior art.
How do you scale out processing if you can't have more than one consumer?

Great stuff, especially posted to a programming community. I wonder if coding a system was more spatial & tactile. I think may just make it easier to get back into a project after setting it down for a month or more, who knows.
Leave. It's so much better elsewhere. I'm so happy in Boston.
Either would work, but as you said the latter is easer to implement and would have done the job for what I was working on. If I had had more time I would have looking into trying to do it myself, but there is never enough time...
> I’ve met tons of script kiddies over the years and none of them were concerned about employment. They do what they do just to show that they can.

Even worse: when I was a kid trying to hack around everyone had some (probably false or based on rare occurrences) where the hacker/script kiddie would get caught but employed for their skills instead of prosecuted.
I understand the impulse for smaller schools, trust me. I think you'd be surprised to look into city schools and the capacities they were originally built for, compared to the amount of students they serve today. Part of that is land value and construction costs, but many urban schools are in a version of just-in-time maintenance. Your solution for more smaller schools is at play in suburban areas, and result in some really high-quality private schools. In the US at least, most school expenses are funded through property tax, so higher land value and wealthier areas are able to support better schools.

IMO there's a lot of credentialism in education already, need a master's degree to be certified (I do not, so I am a beneficiary of the shortage of math teachers since they needed to relax requirements to get people in classrooms). You can imagine my views on teachers' unions differ from yours, but firing bad teachers presumes supply outstrips demand.

High schools in particular have already become those communal neighborhood facilities for sports with baseball, basketball, tennis courts.
Red isn't a consumer company. How are they anti-consumer?

I'm not defending their IP practices, but this is not as stupid as it seems. Nikon knew about the patents when they designed their cameras. The patents were not dumb in 2007-2008.

Claims like the one excerpted are part of larger claim sets; if any claim gets invalidated, the rest that rely on it are useless. For the sake of being explicit, but also robust, lawyers will take a technical description and devolve it into a series of nested claims. Those individual claims, in isolation, sound dumb. But they're usually contingent on earlier claims that might reveal the novelty.

(I have not read the patent.)
Most of R&D in the medical/pharmacological field is done by government grants as an example.
The person posting the bug says their 32GB machine has 10's of GB free. Later, someone points out the systemd-oom's oomctl is counting FS cache as "used". (Search the reddit thread for 'free -h'.)

It sounds like the issue can be easily avoided by ensuring that the size of your FS + the memory you're running applications are using never exceeds 60% of usable RAM.

I had to check to make sure this wasn't posted on April 1st.

I think this variation makes it more intuitively clear one should switch in the case with 100 doors, but I think it makes the explanation of why less clear because of the extra, unnecessary information.
My grandmother was in rehab recovering from an unrelated surgery and was vaccinated because there was a mandate in her state. She was 90, and suddenly died the next day. Nobody will tell us the cause of death.

Never heard of it, but looks really cool. Too bad there isn't a web/WASM build of Minimodem so that it'd run in any web browser. This could be an interesting way to do data exfil. Although that has already been done covertly at ultra-sonic, or near ultra sonic, frequencies that real people can't actually hear.
Around 2010 and before SF was very attractive. The southbay were where most jobs were located but everyone wanted to live in the city. That's what caused a huge amount of companies and startups to move to SF.

The influx of techies, however, changed the city. And SF soon became what it is today.
Agreed. I left in 2018 and am much happier now to not have to play the game "Is that water or urine?" when I see a puddle on the street.

Targeted attacks can be made impossible to conceal using binary transparency[1] (similar to how certificate transparency makes malicious certificates impossible to conceal on the web).

Unless the product is open source though with reproducible builds even that level of transparency would only get you so far. It's pretty easy to conceal a backdoor in a black box binary, especially if nobody's looking for it.

The gold standard right now is to allow third party clients. When the service provider doesn't control the client, E2E encryption can be very a powerful defense indeed.

> VS code isn't an IDE, afaik there's no official support for .csproj, .sln, and any of the essential build automation technologies in the .NET ecosystem. There's no practical way to add NuGet packages in VS code, just 3rd party plugin city.

There is "official support" in that vs code will parse these files and understand nuget packages you have added, and the norm when using .net code on linux is to use the dotnet command or edit the project file directly.

I guess you want more of a gui interface for these things built into the ide, in which case yes, you should probably stick to visual studio on windows, but I've used .net on linux with vs code a lot and none of these things have ever struck me as the least bit inconvenient so I guess it just depends on what you want?

To put it another way, using vscode with the dotnet command on linux is a lot like using other modern languages like rust, and I don't think anyone would say that it's impossible to use vscode with rust on linux because there's no gui for adding packages.
I live in the south Bay Area. The local public school district has been steadily losing enrollment due to the high cost of living. The district administrator I talked with said that based on student records transfer requests, some families have moved further east and south into the sprawling exurbs, and many others moved to Texas.
Displacement taxes are terrible. There are many instances of large displacement engines (e.g. modern GM LS/LT series engines) that are lighter and more efficient than comparably performing smaller turbocharged engines. Penalize heavy vehicles that damage pavement, or vehicles with poor pedestrian safety, or gas guzzlers, but don't penalize one aspect of engine design (displacement) that isn't directly harmful.
China has made big progress in building mega infrastructures while at the same time aggressively pursuing population control strategies. They did so by reallocation of people from farming to factories.

It could be argued that building high speed rail isn’t same as doing science. But it does provide excellent raw material for scientific research. I won’t be surprised if we start seeing scientific breakthroughs from China in next few decades.

We have hundreds of millions of people using most of their cognitive bandwidth just to survive. Imagine what’s possible if even a fraction of those stop worrying about their survival and start pursuing their curiosity.
I wonder if we might live to see excess electricity being beamed to geosynchronous satellites and then redirected on the fly to locations that need them. That would be pretty awesome even with larger losses and allow better overall land resource usage. Imagine Solar Electricity from the Sahara being beamed to London during a heat wave to decrease the costs of running AC and saving lives.
I haven't tried, but I always imagined that my house isn't very attractive to flippers or investors, because it's a condo. The HoA disallows its use as a rental in the covenant, and any serious improvements need to be done by a licensed contractor and permitted (my bathroom remodel took probably a year longer to get started because we had to submit plans with the city with an architect to do some retiling).

Near every sale I've seen of things in the area were in a very "ready-to-move-in" state, so I've been trying to finish reaching that.
Even the .app system has issues:

- The whole dmg file where you have to drag the app to your applications folder is quite confusing compared to the app store experience.

- Ever try to uninstall a Mac app? Merely deleting the .app file still leaves behind everything else. The everything else can be very large files in your ~/Library folder. It's not always straightforward where those files are, and how to find them. (Think of a virtual disk drive product like Google Drive, Dropbox, Onedrive, ect, where the backing storage is usually hidden.)

- Some products legitimately need to install things, like Finder extensions or drivers.

I used to live in Italy. The first thing other Americans in my group taught me was to automatically assume that anyone and everyone around you is trying to scam or pickpocket you.

Did some 11-year-old kid just get on the bus? Is he wearing a fluffy jacket? That little shit is gonna try to pickpocket you, guaranteed. He likely has a razor blade and will slice open the bottom of your backpack while people are jostling each other around on the bus. Have nothing in your pockets, keep your back to the wall, and hold your backpack in your hands in front of you. Did a well-dressed stranger smile and strike up a conversation? They're a Jehovah's Witness, and they're going to try to manipulate you into letting them come into your house and indoctrinate you. Don't acknowledge their existence. Don't smile back, don't make eye contact. Zero engagement. Is some friendly guy at the Trevi Fountain offer you a fun-looking squishy balloon? It's the cheapest possible thing you can imagine, and he's going to start demanding 50x the value of the thing once you were naive enough to actually grab it when he shoved it at you. Is there a transient woman in the train station with a young child lurching at you while shoving the kid into your arms? She's going to start screaming that you're a kidnapper and then demand 50 euros from you to make your new "problem" go away. Did the ticket checker claim that your bus ticket wasn't stamped correctly? Nothing a 20-euro "fine," paid in cash directly to the ticket-checker, won't fix.

By the way, any and all of the above happened to an American in my group at one point or another -- sometimes several times -- in our years there.
It’s also reflected off many surfaces, which is how radar works. And IR and visible light bounces off most non-black surfaces (the latter by definition of the word 'black'). UV is also (with strength varying by frequency) diffused by the atmosphere.

But RF needs higher power to become dangerous: Even mere diffuse reflection of 0.5 watt laser light is considered a blinding hazard.

Because if they do this, the response will be "Sony is greedy charging people all this money for something that only costs them $x to make."

I am not accusing you of this, just linking this to statements and thoughts that often arise in this context. A very typical response to questions about why something costs what it does is, "It's just supply and demand. Econ 101." But it's not just Econ 101. Supply and Demand is covered in Econ 101, but economic activity is far more advanced than supply and demand. Brand perception, customer good will, supplier agreements, retailing agreements.. all of these are major factors in determine "what" the price of an item is when it appears on the shelf. This is the work of entire teams at companies as big as Sony.
It's actually not been that hard to hand-write an SVG that looks good in the major browsers, but then Inkscape renders it into a mess. The areas I tend to run into it are when fine-tuning text, and when using complicated clip-paths. Maybe I only have this impression because I hand-write svg watching my progress in a browser, and only check in inkscape after the fact. Perhaps if I started with inkscape I'd be noticing all the ways the browser fails on inkscape svg instead. Either way it's not an ideal situation.
Yeah will try to for sure, my friends are all advising the same, thanks for the advice too.
