How is that git's fault?

I used to `vim test.c` then `rm Alt-.` very very often. Until one day sure enough I'm in the wrong directory, and I actually saw `Alt-.` complete the filename of an important file, but the brain veto latency is slower than the muscle memory twitch and my pinky continued on over to the Enter key.

I blame only Dotan and changed my work habits. Bash had nothing to do with the incident.
As an IAM engineer who's been doing this shit for way too long, I'd write my own auth.

There is a guy on Youtube called "Displaced Gamers" that explains how NES games work. There is an interesting episode where he breaks down how a certain item in the game Faxanadu behaves.

It's a pendant that is supposed to increase your attack power, but when you get it does the opposite. In the video he explains exactly what is going on in the code: the game was shipped with a bug.

He then goes about crafting a Game Genie code to fix the bug. It's a fascinating video:

Just a couple things to note, which make this far from being a case against masking, or mask mandates:

- The data is from one county in CA ...

- ... for the time period June 3 - June 25, about 3 weeks

- Neighboring counties did not have mask mandates at the time, meaning that anyone traveling between counties and not wearing their mask would have spread COVID-19 to Alameda County just as well as if no mask mandate existed

- The article notes that the most likely explanation for the lack of a different outcome from neighboring counties is that people either do not follow mask mandates or do not wear effective masks

Pretty much a non-sequitor article AFAICT
Hi, Thank you for responding. Actually we have one external API which provides this detail as soon as the payment is done. But we wanted something wherein once the payment is done we can directly send back the details directly to the connected client using that incoming webhook response instead of making the client(browser) to call one another API/fetch state present in DB periodically.
Bubbles are not safe. Reversing it partway is far worse than not starting. Even starting would be disastrous, to the exact extent it distracted from doing something that works.

We know what works: cut CO2 emission. Nothing else does.
tl;dr page-based linear addressing induces performance loss with complicated access policies, e.g. multilevel page tables. Mr. Kamp would prefer an object model of memory access and protection. Also, CHERI (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.5555/2665671.2665740) increases code safety by treating pointers and integers as distinct types.
> Why hasn't someone written new porcelain that makes git as intuitive as mercurial, subversion, etc?

I've used svn and git extensively, but after getting very used to git, i tried working on a project that used mercurial and walked away completely confused by how it works. With "branches" being completely different beasts that i couldn't understand and unsure when it was appropriate to use bookmarks instead. It completely baffles me that people find it better than git's super straightforward dag-of-snapshots model and I reject the idea that it is simpler or more intuitive.

>Why should the U.S. let Chinese tech companies compete in the U.S. marketplace when China doesn't let U.S tech companies compete in their marketplace?

The final purpose of the market is not to serve producers. It is, rather, to serve consumers through producers. You might protect U.S. companies by preventing U.S. consumers from choosing the best and cheapest products they can find abroad, but you are not protecting U.S. consumers by expecting them to use inferior products. Because TikTok is in a leisure market, neither a self-consistent imperialist philosophy, nor one focused on the happiness of US citizens, can justify favoring it over domestic competitors. Of course, it is in our interest to ban the importation of all products of the labor that we ourselves perform, but let's not pretend there is anything but self-interest behind the desire to do so.
Maybe we should stop searching for solutions in outer space and look for solutions already existing and proven. Plants "geo-engineered" the planet once and could do it again.

Animal husbandry is one of the main culprits of global warming, pandemics, deforestation, ocean pollution, world hunger, destruction of ecosystems, continuous extinctions, and much more. That's the fact.

With stopping "the burning machine" and also "the killing machine", we could reforest most of our agriculture lands (more than double our forested lands) and solve all this problems in one go.

It's THE HACK we need.

Ooooh, I've got a great story about that. My neighbour's car was at the garage for about three weeks with a No-Crank No-Start fault. The diagnostics said that the crank position sensor was faulty, but the garage said they'd tried two new sensors and a new cam position sensor for good measure, and it still wouldn't work. Their next plan of attack - and bearing in mind they were already about a grand into it - was to spend even more of my neighbour's money speculatively on a new engine ECU.

Tell you what, not to be a smartarse guys, but let me take a look, just for a second opinion, okay? It's not cranking, that should be the first clue. No, I bet the sensor is a red herring.

Why? Well, we'll get to that.

First off, why isn't it cranking? I hear a relay in the fusebox clicking when I turn the key, let's swap this conveniently labelled starter motor relay with a spare - rob one from the heater blower in my car - plug it in, contacts look manky and burnt, never a good sign. Oh look, starts, runs, perfect, nice as you like.

No, don't worry about the relay, they're a couple of quid new and I have huge box of spares at home, just keep it.

Oh, but the sensor? Well, the ECU was commanding the relay on to pull in the starter motor solenoid, right? But then after a certain amount of time it wasn't seeing crank position sensor pulses, so it guessed (wrongly) that the sensor was faulty, because why would it guess that the starter motor wasn't spinning?
Yes. Because this isn't an energy crisis. It is a consumption crisis.

Atomic energy will be seen as a free pass to consume more and more, worstening climate change.

I'm not naive with regard to even friendly nations jockeying for control of the information space.

But there is something uniquely irresponsible about letting foreign adversaries run algorithms on your populace.
> My question is why hasn't anyone come along and fixed it? Git has the plumbing vs. porcelain separation.

Dozens have, but by the time their replacement porcelain gets anywhere near useful they’ve attained a grasp of the plumbing more than good enough they don’t need it anymore.

> My second question is, if the underlying model is so f*cking elegant, how did it lead to such a confusing interface?

Mastery of structural elegance doesn’t mean you have also mastered interface and experience. In fact it’s often not the case.

> I can't offhand think of another piece of software where "the model is elegant but the interface is confusing" is such a common critique.

Every database. The relational model is a beautiful thing, sql is a horrendous shit-show.
Well. I mean, get a slow enough hard drive and a nice enough network and we can get there, haha.
Which OS? If the sending device is Linux, you can create a null pulseaudio device and set it as default. Then capture from it, compress it and stream out via rtsp using ffmpeg. On the receiving end, ffplay listens on the correct port and plays it. If you're interested I'll grab the commands I run on both sides.

Unlike the other solutions that force you to use mpd to play the music, this captures whatever is playing on the source (YouTube, Spotify, MusicBee)

Yes, it works with pipewire (unlike pulseaudio-dlna)

Which Americans are crying foul? I don’t think many everyday people really care about how the EU regulates tech companies. Ask your parents how they feel, or the bartender next time you’re out.

Also the US isn’t an adversary, so it’s different. The stakes are different.

The main issue with the EU approach is that they only view surface level compliance.
Cool tech, though I am personally sad that this is even a problem that needs solving. The fact that there's no price transparency, seemingly by design, in cloud products is :(

Usage Patterns for the ThreadPoolExecutor in Python
This serves as an example to me that git is - maybe - not the right tool for the job.
Stilicho and Majorian's armies were composed of at least a plurality of Germanic troops recruited from tribes that were stopped in their migrations by Rome. The Eastern Empire (and the Empire as a whole starting around Diocletian) had to force soldiers' children to serve because they had a shortage of willing recruits. All the evidence (conscription, hereditary service, large-scale incorporation of barbarians into the legions) points to manpower shortages due to the unwillingness of native Romans to serve. Republican Rome put barbarians into auxiliary units, not the legions, because they had no need for more men in the legions.

Even the Battle of Adrianople in 378 and Germanic incursions into Italy in the early 5th century did not force Rome into total mobilization of the population like when Hannibal invaded Italy. That points to a general unwillingness to defend the Roman state in the general population. Consider that Rome was able to repeatedly raise new, massive armies when Hannibal inflicted defeats, but the Eastern empire was unable to raise even a token force to combat the Goths after Adrianople.

There may have been elites with fight left in them, but the average citizen did not share the attitude of those of Republican Rome.
Git reused much of the terminology of other VCS systems, even though the architecture was completely different.

So usage-wise git was familiar to someone familiar with e.g. SVN right from the beginning.
Linus doesn't appear to be particularly enthusiastic about this strategy.

Humans really do handle treating changes as a sequence. I wonder if this was really necessary or could have been serialized.
Why is China an adversary of US?

Can someone put into succinct evidences of this statement?

To the typical talking point:

* IP infringement: there is not much unusual rate of IP stealing from China. Considering the size of Chinese economy and foreign trade ties between China and the rest of world, absolute number of IP infringement cases are not a good indicator of the government's policy.

* Coercion of South East Asian nations: This one is a natural demand of a rising super power. Putting it in the perspective of any historical rising of superpower, China has been relatively much more peaceful. Again, the sheer size of China make the absolute number terrifying, but please stay rationale, and don't try to paint China as some sort of arch evil of the west Civilization. After all, the West has been nourished by the Oriental civilization, among them China particularly contributed to the advancement of knowledge and inventions (gun powder, magnet etc.).

* Confrontation with US over Taiwan: If you are OK with Texas leaving the union, then you are entitled to support Taiwan independence. Enough said. Pick your side, and stick with it.

PS: I am Chinese living in US. And I support the peaceful cooperation between China and US. The 2 nations are the most refined examples of the oriental and western civilizations. It's indeed a tragedy that the finest human civilizations cannot work together. We Chinese living in US, as well as the US people having good exposure in China, are in a good position to amplify the cooperative ties between China and US.

Of the Raspberry PIs, only the 3rd generation is capable of AArch64.

Because of this, very few Linux distros supporting the PI are 64-bit (Oracle Linux is the only one that comes to mind).

There does indeed remain a large AArch32 community that cannot move, and they will never, ever cross this gulf.

> I care too, indirectly, because I have interest in the economy doing well (e.g. if Facebook hires a bunch of American developers because they're making bank in China, that's a better for me because the increased demand makes some things a little better for me).

Valid point, although I still think that banning a non-related, legitimate application that is used by Americans is a poor way of approaching the issue. But I concede that there is more variables at play than I had in my head during my initial comment.

>It's significant that TikTok is under the control of a geopolitical rival, not an ally.

I never disagreed with this point, and tried to make that clear in my initial comment where I specifically used the mass harvesting of biometric data as an example of a reason I would consider legitimate.
Surprised noone has mentioned Discord yet. Lots of threads there.
This task is called instance segmentation and is an active research topic. Mask-RCNN is relatively old these days, but still might be the most popular approach. There also happens to be a few approaches for the task taking inspiration in methodology from YOLO, e.g. YOLACT (which clearly also pays homage in name).

Good. US dominance and oligopolies, at least in the tech sector, have stifled competition and innovation in the global economy. Everyone, including people in the US, would benefit from increased competition that monopolies have snuffed out for years, now.
Brain chemicals that indicate relative status to others, doesn't demand a heirarchy as a final answer. There's a multitude of ways of dealing with that, none of which are explored except for JP's catholic presuppositions.
Survey says most Americans don't think they live in a democracy, while vast majority of Chinese think they do. It's easy to see why when you think about how little the average Americans' interests are represented by their government. Not to mention the totally gerrymandered districts, voter suppression and absurd legalized corruption that says money=speech.

It utterly fails to mention the fatal flaw of both schemes. Neither addresses the problem, which then carries on until the ocean ecosystem, thence civilization, collapses.
You should stop taking potshots at people on a throwaway troll account.
You don't need a warrant to get data from a third party. The government just asks and if the they enjoy receiving special treatment and other favors in the future they comply. That's why the USG likes to have this collection devolved to private entities.
No it is not. Not when you consider growth.
It’s not OP’s point at all. Americans want sovereignty over their own social media but gladly benefit from pushing Facebook and google dominance over the world. Big tech / Silicon Valley wouldn’t be the same if it would just be US only

It’s one way direction and it’s hypocrisy.
Only because our infrastructure isn't being upgraded (more reservoirs!) or maintained (hello, Oroville Dam) and the unfunded pension liability is simply ignored.
On the flip side, how does a blog platform cost more than $9M per year?
IIRC mercurial creates backup (.bak) files when restoring a file. As a result, you can keep changes in .bak files even after (accidentally) doing a `git checkout -- file` in mercurial. Git does not have that feature.
Civilization collapses either way, so that is a wash.
"The R1000 addresses 64 bits of address space instantly in every single memory access. And before you tell me this is impossible: The computer is in the next room, built with 74xx-TTL (transistor-transistor logic) chips in the late 1980s. It worked back then, and it still works today."

That statement has to be coming with some hidden caveats. 64 bits of address space is crazy huge so it's unlikely the entire range was even present. If only a subset of the range was "instantly" available, we have that now. Turn off main memory and run right out of the L1 cache. Done.

We need to keep in mind, the DRAM ICs themselves have a hierarchy with latency trade-offs.

The EU is partially reining in the abuses of those companies (and more should be done), but this shouldn't be equated to TikTok and what China is doing.

FAANGs aren't state-controlled and Europeans do have access to the American market.
A fixed block subsidy, i.e. purely linear emission, is disinflationary, rather than inflationary, with the yearly supply inflation after n years at 1/n. That is large enough to deter speculation for several decades at least.

Greetings from Beijing.

I made exactly the move you’re talking about a dozen years ago.

Not so much interested in being a poster boy, but, every so often I read the news back West, and it all seems completely bizarre. But I think to myself, “Well, it’s the news; I’m sure it’s just exaggerated.”

Recently a few of my friends who’ve been overseas a while traveled back to the West, and in talking to them, I have had them confirm that, no, it is not exaggerated, it is actually like that there now.

It’s pretty boring over here compared to over there. No crime, no drugs, no inflation, no culture wars. There are things you can’t speak about over here, just like in the West. One difference between China and Europe is if you speak about the things you can’t speak about here, you get multiple warnings before any jail time happens. Germany for instance will jail you for your first verboten meme. That’s a little extreme.

It does certainly seem a lot more exciting in the West right now, with the groups of people fighting with each other for social and political power, the crime, the drugs, the inflation. It’s like a real-life roller-coaster ride. I think that’s probably a real plus.
ZF 4HP22 in my older (4.0 litre) Range Rover, 4HP24 in my newer one with the 4.6 engine. Actually they're both the same age to within weeks, I just got the 4.6 eight years after the 4.0, but anyway - it takes about a quarter of a second to change up or down if you manually prod the gearstick coming up to some bends. It's definitely faster than the R380 manual gearboxes fitted to Discos, Defenders and manual P38s, which needs a fair bit of time in neutral to settle out before you select the next gear.

This is '80s technology, mind you, with a fairly simple computer grafted on to bring it up to the white heat of the mid-'90s.

Agreed. See also NBA retractions, John Cena hostage-video apology, influence on Hollywood messaging, etc.
