.tar.gz files can only be read sequentially, but there are optimizations in place on common tools that make this surprisingly fast as long as there's enough memory available to essentially mmap the decompressed form. The problem is bigger with archives in the tens of GB (actually pretty common for tarballs since it's popular as a lowest-common-denominator backup format) or resource-constrained systems where the swapping becomes untenable.
> That's quite the odd statement

It's odd only if you are new to DVCS. In the early days of git and hg, git commands were lots of plumbing and very little porcelain. At the time, most people switching from svn to a DVCS almost universally found hg a basically effortless switch. The success of git is due to 1) Linus fandom/cargo cult. 2) Ruby on Rails groupthink, and 3) Github.

The main reason is because fission isn't cool anymore. Been there, done that.... Fusion is still super cool with all the big devices they're building.
I would love to see a combo of a search engine and a portal. Basically at any step drilling down into links for categories and subcategories, I could type in a search bar and every site at that level and below would be searched.
I mean to be quite honest I remember this problem and all I could think of was "this being hard is a sign that the data structure is poorly designed. But I also remember giving you a four line code sample using the process dictionary that you could have used, because this was "clearly an exceptionally pathologic data structure".

You can always design something to be better but part of interacting with a machine is not assuming that it will do the safe thing 100% of the time and acting appropriately.

If you're driving a car and it hydroplanes, is it the car's fault for losing traction? No, you should have been aware that it was a risk you were exposed to the moment you stepped into the car.

Can you design a car that is less likely to hydroplane? Sure, but there's always going to be an edge case it can't handle perfectly.
From the looks of it, that's an industrial robot arm which was designed to operate no where near humans. The move paths were hard programed and has no obstacle avoidance procedure nor sensors. The robot arm had quite a strong pressure as the the victim were unable to free his/her finger.
Good point. I say, have the regular stuff (w/sugar) but just go easy with it.
It doesn't have to, you just add a zero byte at the end of the embedded byte sequence in the object file. It's up to the programmer to make the choice how to interpret that.

That said for binary embeds you almost always need the length embedded as well, which has been the case for every tool I've used to embed files in object code. You usually get something like

const size_t My_FILE_LENGTH = ... ;
const uint8_t MY_FILE[] = { ... };

Thank you for your indepth analysis but what has this to do with the article?
The answer from the federation is unconscionable. They blamed the boy and then said they could not be held responsible. Fuck off, a kid made a reasonable kid movement. If the robot wasn't ready to be around children, it shouldn't have been deployed around children. And there should have been a big red button that immediately everything, within reach of every player.

Why are these physical kiosks at ground level rather than merely networking hardware mounted somewhere unobtrusive that would serve the same purpose without attracting transients.

Furthermore people who scatter their drug paraphernalia and needles everywhere, who threaten people, who assault people, who perform certain lewd acts named in the article ought simply to be jailed.

Yea it is a very poorly designed chess robot but if they were going to use it in a competition like this, they should have at least briefed the users appropriately.

Or maybe they did brief them appropriately but the child make a mistake. There isn't enough context in the video or article.

But what's beyond stupid is claiming that a "chess robot broke the finger" of a kid as though it went rogue or operated beyond its domain.
Personally, I think we are in some sort of technological uncanny valley in between pervasive and ubiquitous.
I see this with questions and answers from reddit or other forums which get syndicated into various other 'developer' sites and get high rankings on Google.

No. They won’t be paid back until the government gets an excess of at least that much in tax revenue.

Something mitigating an ongoing can be expensive, have the intended positive effect immediately, but not be paid back for a long time (or sometimes ever).

Federally subsidized flood insurance is a much smaller scale example. There are many places in Florida and the gulf in general where houses get destroyed by hurricanes and have to be rebuild for $X every 20 years when we only collect maybe 25% of $X in premiums.

Yea and again, I said "if". We live on the else branch of that if statement.

My point is that a lot of this sentiment is treating C as the portable backend of a compiler because there is no portable front end. It holds us back in a lot of ways from iterating on systems languages in ways that are interesting and valuable.

Ideally there would be an IR with stable textual and binary format that can be compiled into the machine code for various ISAs and support the extensions necessary by silicon manufacturers for the exotic bits. I've used exotic tool chains for weird ISAs where the exotic bits are sugar added to a GCC front end, and it always feels wrong and limiting.

The Yugoslavian Civil War had more casualties than the Ukraine Invasion (at least so far) and probably over a larger land area.
A killswitch wouldn't help here, the kid's finger was probably broken before he even felt the pain. Given the bot's behavior, it looks like it's programmed to move its arm down until it touches the table. It didn't notice that it encountered resistance, and kept pushing down. That's incredibly unsafe, and easy to fix: track actual vs expected position, and give up if any surprises are encountered.
Right... its more likely our bodies are probably some miraculous, fuel-less generators capable of producing energy (and fat) from thin air.

Meanwhile, in my own anecdotal, completely unscientific personal study, I went to eating one meal a day 6 weeks ago and have lost 10 pounds, despite eating all sorts of stuff you are not supposed to eat (sugar) during that one meal each day.
You're probably right that fission isn't considered cool anymore. I guess my heartburn is in that it most definitely should be.

I guess most people don't appreciate the relatively tiny fission plant workhorses producing >50% of all zero-carbon electricity in the USA.

At least we have nuclear tiktok influencers nowadays!

Just because covid turned out to be a global disaster doesn't mean everything will be. There were multiple SARS outbreaks in the ever so pleasant 2000's. Oh Ebola might have gone airborne in the 90's and has made some cameos since then.

We all dropped the ball on covid, but that doesn't mean everything is going to get the same foothold. I guess what I'm saying is that I will wash my groceries again if something crazy shows up but let's not assume global pandemics are just going to kick off constantly.
One has to wonder why the hell they'd make a chess robot with a grip so strong that it takes the concerted effort of two adults to pry it loose.

And blaming it on the kid was real classy.
Would using a "multiplexing" carrier like Google Fi (I don't know the real term for it) that can switch between several others at least reduce the value of this tracking?
>but that's irrelevant because the services that require your phone number don't do it for the sake of security or to combat bots

Discord allows you to enable phone number verification at a per-admin level basis; and it is done to reduce spam and bots. You can't just pretend the problem doesn't exist.
Yup, and that's worst-case quadratic in number of links (symlinks and hardlinks).

It's still weird they didn't do a hashmap.
>"Oh, yeah we reuse the references after about 90 days... And, no, we don't have any globally unique references."

The minute a simple unique identifier is established for something, someone who is just important enough not to be told "no" screws it up.

A thing that I've seen is that people want things to be grouped together in reporting, so they insist on it having the same identifier as all other things in the same group.

Sooner or later, they ask for a report that distinguishes between them, though.

I'm saying the Dev that hardcoded a password is near incompetent. The fact nobody else working with that dev in code reviews found is near incompetent. I'm saying that you telling me as an auditor not checking the changes to the system after the software being audited is installed seems ridiculous to not be testing users etc as was claimed isn't normal.

Yes, we're all error prone. Some mistakes are innocent and triggered by multiple layers of things aligning, some mistakes are from not enough experience, some are malicious, some are just other things. Hard coding a password is damn near unforgivable though.

Microsoft did it pretty well with Minecraft Earth, from a UX point of view anyway. From a "managing finite system resources" point of view, it was a spectacular failure, which is why the game failed. Even the top notch hardware was turned into a fast-dying hand warmer by that game.

> But what's beyond stupid is claiming that a "chess robot broke the finger" of a kid as though it went rogue or operated beyond its domain.

No, I'm comfortable arguing that being able to exert enough force to break human bones is outside the scope of what a chess playing robot should be able to do. Or is "beyond its domain" as you say.
Yeah, sometimes it's best to just ignore people at the first sign of hostility. If I had done that here I could've avoided being called a racist, which would've been nice. Oh well, it's hard to tell when the person on the other end is going to engage in good faith or not.

Can't add to Amazon, but wanted to add another example of stack ranking problems.

I and some friends worked for Capital One, which does stack ranking (but not the intense PIP that Amazon does).

Overall the stack ranking isn't a huge issue, but you get screwed because those boxes are subjective, which I always felt was the big issue with any system like this.

I worked easily 9-6 most days and got an average rating, while I buddy of mine in a different org would work maybe 4 hours a day and get the same rating. My org had intense work and my manager saw that as the norm.

Again not terrible, but I would be incredibly mad if say this same system conspired to putting me on PIP. Working more and longer hours but not meeting the definition of average for your specific manager and team.
This is why in civilized societies the government mandates minimum safety standards so that a company is not even allowed to place such dangerous equipment around people.

The robot is a standard industrial robot arm that happens to be used for chess - it it was not made to be a chess robot. This is absolutely overkill for chess even just from a cost perspective so you wouldn't build something like this if you actually were building a chess robot.

The amount of pressure this robot applies is totally adequate for its normal operating environment which is far away from humans.

There might be a way to vary the level of force applied but it may have been abstracted away (maybe you need to go one level lower to get that level of control) by a simpler API for applications where a "default" level of pressure is acceptable.
The original iPhone/iPod 30-pin dock connector was just that: a dock connector. At the time, I recall a lot of different dock connectors and they were all proprietary and special built for the electronics they supported; That was the state of the art in the late 2000s. The next iteration was the lightning connector which is standardizing on USB. It was also better than any usb connector at the time because it could be inserted in either orientation that made physical sense. After a decade of use, we have a lot of expectations around connectors that we didn't in 2012... like pocket lint and well-worn/damaged ports.

If you look at the USB implementors forum, you'll notice many of the big players are there (including Apple.)

I would argue that the 0.1" DIP was a technology innovation of its own. It was adopted because it solved a problem with scalability of TO-5 and similar packaging which was somewhat round in nature, maybe borrowing from the design constraints of vacuum tubes? (complete guess on that part!) There are variants of DIP which have different dimensions than the 0.1" DIP we see almost everywhere today. While there may have been cooperation in choosing 0.1" DIP, I think it's more likely that available parts were largely made in this form factor and thus it was adopted.
If this was any workplace in many countries, the robot owner would totally be culpable, even if it wasn't a child. There's a reason that people are not allowed near robots in many cases.
As best I recall, one of the first SEO tricks took advantage of simple algorithms that ranked pages based more or less on word frequency, with certain synonyms collapsed, eg "movies, films, flicks, and cinema" would all be consider synonyms.[1] It took exactly seven minutes for site authors to figure out keyword stuffing.

1. Synonym collapsing isn't even necessarily a good thing, As Clay Shirky noted in "Ontology is Overrated -- Categories, Links, and Tags", people who enjoy watching movies and people into cinema are different crowds. https://oc.ac.ge/file.php/16/_1_Shirky_2005_Ontology_is_Over...
I'm pretty sure that is one of those things that varies by person, or perhaps bt gut flora. Which foods spike blood sugar can vary widely by person. One lady in study became an outlier because the way her gut processed a normal tomato made her bloodsugar react like she had been doing shots of HFCS. I eat a wholesome bowl of steelcut oats and immediately crave carbs and sugar, I'm assuming because my bloodsugar spikes and crashes. But if I have a fried egg on some broccoli I'll be full for hours. I don't do keto. But fiber alone doesn't make me feel satiated because the signal saying my insides are full is getting overridden by the one saying my blood sugar is low. I'm not diabetic or hypoglycemic either, or at least the doc says I'm not.

60% of the mass of the ARC reactor is the steel support structure to resist JxB forces. A magnetic field 10-100x higher would exert such strong forces (magnetic pressure scales as B^2) that no material could resist them. So: strength of materials.
Okay, but then you'd show that 1/-1=-1, 1/-0.5=-2, 1/-0.25=-4, etc. The closer you get to 0, the more negative the number. Then you just wouldn't accept that if you actually got to 0 in your progression, it is anything besides negative infinity. And then you've shown that negative infinity is equal to infinity.

well for the same reason they dont really compare Android phones to iPhones. we're past the point where it matters for most people. most phones today are fast enough and what matters are things like which os you like, battery life, camera performance, software support. very few people buy phones now based on the raw geekbench #'s

if you look hard enough there are benchmarks comparing apple to windows/linux for video editing, blender, compiling code, etc. the take away for the past couple years is that Apple is head and shoulders over anybody else in performance/watt
