The whole point of github is that anyone can fork the project and continue working on it. The code isn't going away, it's going to get archived.

The point of MS/Github announcing that they are sunsetting the project is that they are basically no longer spending time and money on the project. Projects this size have a lot of things that need attention like security fixes, legal stuff, trademarks/branding, etc. Basically, they do the right thing here by giving people some time to deal with this in whatever form they care to do that before pulling the plug.

Anyone interested in taking ownership of atom now has six months to get organized; I'm sure if somebody steps up, Github would end up doing the right thing and e.g. support them by e.g. transferring domain names, and other things they control. But somebody would need to step up for that to happen.

Apache taking ownership of a project would require that there is some community still there to work on it. They have an incubation process for this kind of thing. But there's also a thing called the attic in Apache where dead projects go after they stop being maintained.
It is! But now you know why it's that way.
Usually those machines are mostly managed by IT and anything related to configuration changes usually requires some form of IT change request, or using a cut down version of root, project specific.

Personally I have only had proper root access, when I am part of infrastructure team.

For a time it did seem MariaDB would replace MySQL. But your link is almost 10 years old and since that time MySQL has seen it’s biggest release (iirc ever) in terms of features and bug fixes. Meanwhile MariaDB and it have diverged and aren’t really 1 to 1 replacements as they were in 2014.

Story has not so much as a single word about how it was invented.
I thought it, in some ways, reflected the Ellison's earlier I have no Mouth, and I Must Scream which to this day is still the story that terrified me the most.
The decision to add minorities to the test group was not an FDA decision, that was part of the operation warp speed program and only applied to the Moderna vaccine because they accepted public funds for R&D. Pfizer came first and was privately funded.
Not an expert here but my read is that they were looking at the electoral register, and falsifying votes from real registered voters that just didn’t show up on the day.

At least that’s what it sounds like in

> Beren and her accomplices from the Board of Elections would then falsify the polling books and the List of Voters and Party Enrollment for the 39th Ward, 2nd Division, by recording the names, party affiliation, and order of appearances for voters who had not physically appeared at the polling station to cast his or her ballot in the election. Beren took pains to ensure that the number of ballots cast on the machines was a reflection of the number of voters signed into the polling books and the List of Voters.
Well yeah, but those frozen pizzas ain't advertised as being already-prepared, either. You can't usually just thaw a frozen pizza and expect it to be edible. They also tend to be made pretty differently than how they're made at a pizzeria.
Short answer - the PC won and we started at the bottom and worked up.

Had the PC not won it's possible that something like multi-user systems would have become the main thing (which we now basically have, but we call it "the cloud").
The key point a few people miss here when this stuff is discussed, is that this is H for fuel-cell. Its probably a sintered metal or amalgam canister which is dry heated, cooled under vacuum and then filled. The H goes into the interstitial gaps. When its re-heated, it releases the H.

It's not "fuel as gas for combustion" its fuel as input to H+0 == H20 plus electricity.

(I am not an electrochemical/chemist person. I may mischaracterise)

This article at least does say it: its fuel-cells. Its not fuel (gas, methanol-replacement for ICE)
Totally agree, as one have to enjoy the time spent in code.
Also no pressure to make that perfect (although one may). Important thing that mentioned is project can be worked in "on-off" mode, because giving free time always not viable, specially if one has family.
If you actually look at the details of the vaccine rollouts from both Moderna and Pfizer, you will see that it doesn't fit that narrative very well. For one, only moderna was subject to the delays mentioned above.

transmission does as well.
Funny, the committers were at an Amsterdam meetup last night and we were talking about ClickHouse Keeper. I don't think that's very high up the list of priorities for them right now. The focus is more on ensuring it is bombproof--we're in the "long tail" part of the deployment where you stamp out obscure edge cases in increasingly large deployments.

(I'm not a committer but have a lively interest in the topic as my company supports a couple hundred customers running on ClickHouse.)
Transmission has a web interface and can be ran as a daemon.
Yes, it is much easier to control what gets into the building that way.

It also has the advantage that setting up a new developer account is relatively fast.
What's really cool about Deluge is that it can run in a client/server mode where the Deluge can act as a thinclient. This way you can set up a server, and install Deluge on all your machines, and have them all connect to the same server. As with many other torrent clients, there is of course also a web ui, as well as various thinclient apps.

Having said that, if you don't need a good client/server model, my personal preference is qBittorent, which, for me having grown up with uTorrent, is a lot nicer to use.
When looking across the counties of the US, the deaths counted are from
> All external causes except accidental poisoning, intentional self-harm, falls, complications of medical and surgical care and sequelae of external causes of morbidity and mortality

I would expect medical/surgical complications and sequelae of external causes to be quite relevant. Medical care outcomes are important.
Summer of Math Exposition #2
Information addiction was nourished into existence by the internet.

I disagree in part. It was commoditised, ubiquitous in nature, and always-on but before we had internet, we had encylopedias, and the like. I grew up with "the whole earth catalog" in one toilet, and a stash of "the wizard of id" in the other.

bite sized information and cartoons were a constant in my life since before time. the sixties were amazing: we had catalogs.

(we also had as toilet fodder both a sears current catalog, and a reprint of a turn of the century sears catalog that Dover books put out)
Or any other specific phone. And then be bound by whatever charger there happens to be.
To the investors there is!

If you spend $1bln buying back shares, that isn’t money in their pocket until they sell. And if they sell, they don’t get any future ‘growth’.

And if the company/economy doesn’t do well next quarter, they’re losing it in the form of decreased stock value, or even implosion/complete loss.

A dividend is direct cash in the bank. Much lower (zero) ongoing risk of losing that payment. But it gets taxed directly at a higher rate.

Cheap Androids not being supported by manufacturers is a separated issue, I fail to see how that applies here. Atleast the cheap phones have a unified charger so poor people don't have to keep buying chargers for them.

Apple Silicon hardware is pretty cool.

On the programming side, SwiftUI looks pretty cool.

I am impressed whenever I see posts about classic Macs and Think C, but there have been some improvements since then.
Something that just occurred to me: finite state machines don't have to be a single "flat" graph. There are hierarchical/nested variations. For example, imagine a factory with many identical machines, where each machine has the same FSM for its operation, and then there's a FSM for the factory as a whole, modelling the interactions of the machines.

I wonder, I wonder, I wonder... could there be a differentiable and deeply nested FSM hierarchy model that -- like deep learning for neural nets -- can solve qualitatively different categories of problems compared to a "plain" FSM? As in, just as deep learning revolutionised ML, I wonder if there is an equivalent "deep FSM learning".

It smells like there's something fundamental there: Take "any" simple, differentiable systems like a layer of neural nets, an FSM, or whatever... and then make it "deep". Similarly, I wonder if all of the other concepts from NNs could have equivalents for similar differentiable systems, such as convolution, etc...
Okay but then that's still text to describe how to write more text. How big can that be?
So basically they took a greedy algorithm that used a combinatorial approach and transformed it to use a calculus approach by inspiring from a related problem of "electrical flow through a network".

I wonder if it isn't possible to do this for other greedy algorithms, or algorithms which are trying to find optimal solutions through heuristics.
Canadian big media court order on major ISPs to enforce copyright with IP blocks
Firstly as other people have pointed out, teams build great products, not some individual with a messianic vision. That's just marketing.

Secondly, Todd Howard is the greedy executive who pushed out Fallout 76 and keeps rereleasing skyrim year after year after year. He has passion yes, but it's for raking in the benjamins. Making great games is strictly secondary.

Thirdly FO76 was such a total fiasco that people seem to have forgotten that Fallout 4 was insanely buggy at launch and even when they got through that was mediocre at best. In Fallout New Vegas there are interesting puzzles to solve and different ways to progress through the quest. In Fallout 4 you go places and then shoot people. Occasionally you get presented with 4 dialog options which are "yes", "yes", "no, but actually yes", and "close this dialog for now and be forced to come back later and be presented by the same choices".
why isn't emacs an option? It's the longest continuously maintained open source code editor there ever has been and still outperforms electron editors half a century after it first appeared
You are gratuitously cheerleading for oil companies meddling in state efforts to slow down climate change.

Could you remind me why it's inconsistent for me to criticize that while still using vehicles and electricity?
I'd be willing to bet that even if Microsoft did create VSCode for the purposes of cutting Github's expansion, the effect that VSCode had on Github's valuation is extremely overstated here. The total valuation comes from a range of factors, but let's say there are two major ones: number of users and number of paying organizations. The latter is almost completely not dependent on Atom (companies would not use Atom as a deciding factor to use Github) and while some users might use Github because they used Atom first, I don't think that this is large enough that the migration from Atom to VSCode negatively impacted the valuation.

I think a simpler explanation is correct: Microsoft saw that open source developer tools are gaining a lot of popularity and also knew that it could help revitalize/modernize their image, so they authorized the funding for the creation of a (mostly) open source code editor, and it gained popularity because it was good.
Reading the article I wondered if anyone tried to model the network flow using dynamics of the fluids. And if he did, what were the results.

qBittorrent has webUI too, and works more or less identical to that of native client. Some day I'll get its NixOS module in abetter shape and just use that.
Your rant doesn't match reality though, although it depends on what you mean by rising up the ranks. Do you consider directors and above rising up the ranks or are you talking about the C suite only? I know plenty of director and VP levels under 40 that got there recently (obviously given the age).
Seems a stretch, the civil rights bill was JFK’s baby initially, and if JBJ hadn’t been president it’s pretty likely that another democratic president would have signed it, possibly Humphrey or McCarthy.
This is not a new concept. You don’t see herd immunity in endemic diseases. If over time diseases can become endemic, obviously there are paths from breakout pandemic spread that lead to persistent endemic infection states.

I really expected better from the NIH, and the pandemic had been an eye opener for me as to how influenced by political winds they truly are.
Bit late to the party, but I can shed some light on this. Since a real camera has the shutter open for some duration, any moving light will smear across the sensor. If you similarly "smear" a path traced object by stochastically randomizing the position of the object while the path tracer is gathering samples for the frame, you get exact physically plausible motion blur without having discrete "ghosts" corresponding to sampled subframes.
Then we tell the new upcoming developer that the hard part is setting up your tools. How long will this take? He asks. Oh, you answer: This will take decades! It's a wild, every man for himself kind of ride. You build a battle-royal out of abandon-ware plugins that each almost do what you want until your powerlevel finally rises to the point you just delete everything and use the terminal. The terminal is an emulator that mimics a physical device from 1941 you see, as its a physical device, there are no ever-tinkering developers bloating or [indeed] sunsetting your tools. You will finally be left alone, still in the dark but you get a cursor that no one can take away from you.
The only real use-case I've found for multiple displays was keeping monitoring sites open for on-call duties.

Besides that, the macos workspaces fit my needs. Knowing shortcuts is essential though
The problem with turning an excel solution that is maintained by a subject matter expert into a properly programmed one (even just a python script) is that it’s not clear who will maintain the solution once u leave. This can be especially difficult for consultants - yes I can “fix” the hack now to and reduce costs, but if it means hiring some dev/sysadmin etc. to maintain the solution, it may not end up being cheaper.
Using control + arrow keys with multiple screens is a nightmare. It always moves the focus to the other screen so if I change some code -> arrow key back to chrome and refresh it refreshes (or whatever other command) the window on my other screen.

Found a slur in the dataset, not sure if these are programmatically generated (I assume so) but may want to consider filtering those out.
Deluge still hasn't had an official Windows release for 2.x, and it's been that way since 2019. Been using qBittorrent for a while now and like it far more than the (currently outdated) version of Deluge I had been using. Not really sure why this was posted here to be honest.
Is torrents still a thing? Genuinely curious.

It looks like a cool piece of software with lots of nice features, but I mean.. I don't need, as far as I know, a client-server stack for downloading stuff.
qBittorrent is indeed nice. Been using it for many years and couldn't be happier. Demise of uTorrent was a boon for open source clients in a way, otherwise I'd never look for replacement. qBittorrent is also written in Qt, so fits very well with Plasma desktop in general.

"The gang". "Marching".

2. I even gave you a link showing how patently false your statements about Google being careful with specs are

I showed up in the thread and showed the timeline of Google being "careful", and "reasonable" and whatever other adjectives you choose to paint them with

There was nothing ultra rude with me stating the facts.

Transmission also has the client/server model, where the local UI can connect to a transmission running as daemon.
Linux became more popular than BSD because the AT&T lawsuits made the legal status of BSD questionable. By the time it was cleared up, Linux had the momentum.

I am not sure that Debian popularity really had much to do with it. The first Linux distro to really pull away from the pack was Red Hat ( pre RHEL and Fedora ) with the introduction of a package manager ( RPM ). Most of the other popular distros of that era were based off RPM ( Mandrake and SUSE for example ). But RPM at first required downloading packages individually before they could be installed or upgraded. You could upgrade an entire installation to the next release with a CD that had all the new RPMs on it.

Debian solved that problem by introducing the concept of a repository. While .deb files worked similarly to RPM, “apt-get update && apt-get upgrade” was a new thing. Even then, Debian was kind of a niche, power-user distro. The revolution came when Ubuntu created a more user friendly version of Debian. RPM based distros eventually got YUM and other repository based equivalents to apt-get but by then Ubuntu had the momentum. I think Debian became more popular later because of Ubuntu ( though I may have that wrong ). Ubuntu itself had a huge diaspora with many other popular distros starting off as basically Ubuntu modified to address some user complaint or other.

These days, it feels like the torch is being passed to the Arch based distros.

FreeBSD may never regain its position vs Linux but it has maintained its market position pretty well relative to some Linux distros I would say.

You’d already know this if you spent even two minutes investigating. And the claim holds up no matter how you choose to define a mass shooting. If you want to restrict it to only the most deadly and infamous mass shooting incidents, the percentage actually goes UP.

Don’t take my word for it, Google it yourself and read five or ten good sources. The proof is overwhelming.
It's the same for many indian languages too. "Acchamma" stands for paternal grandmother in my mother tounge. "Acchan" stands for dad and "Amma" is mom so the combination of those two is dad's mother. Similarly "ammamma" is maternal grandmother

Today I was thinking that Java should be one of the first languages you should learn in order to understand OOP. One of the most common questions in a hiring process is "what is the difference between an abstract class and an interface?". If you have implemented them in Java, you can tell the difference. This also applies for other programming languages like C#. Sure, you can start with Python. However, I think that OOP concepts are better explained when using Java.

The one AWS service that I pay for is S3 Glacier Deep Archive.

It is very cheap insurance for knowing with virtual certainty that your data exists. Egress is expensive ($100/TB last I checked), but in the target use - backups of last resort - I will be very glad to pay that to have my data back. And if all goes right I'll never pay it.

Personally I find ordinary S3 far too expensive to justify. Not so with Deep Archive.

Note, I work for AWS. Opinions are my own.

So.. what happened with Spanish flu: it persists as a virus at varying degrees of lethality.

We've lost anywhere between 10 to 20 per 100,000 head to flu, since 1918 depending on the variant, immunisation and the weather.

But the big assumption is that C19 mutates to be more .. benign. In a "fitness" sense, that which does not kill us grows strong. So its a better survival strategy and you'd think mutations to survive are more likely, but nothing is certain
