I didn't realize the definition of "abortion" was up for debate, I thought merely the parameters defining when it should or shouldn't be allowed were.
Again, you're conflating things. There is a market for low latency rail freight. The rail companies find that it's better to keep the rail as is and invest the profits somewhere else. That doesn't mean that the market doesn't exist.

The correct approach is for low latency rail freight to operate on passenger rail systems which already have the necessary speeds and flexibilities. This is structurally unfeasible in the US but it's still definitely a market that better rail systems can service at no extra cost.
Nowadays design language of your framework should look at least not worse than Material Design 3 or Twitter Bootstrap (just because they are there and you can learn from them).

This project needs some more effort to achieve it, right now it looks like it was designed 5 years ago.
Nah, it's just saying there might be more important fish to fry that fixing my broken mop.

Profit-making companies need their employees to be less well off to make more profit. This isn't news, but it bears repeating so that everyone understands.
It would be great if the Bureau of Labor Statistics would do some analysis of which industries would be considered low margin and worker-wage dominated industries that if the wages for the workers increased, would cause a knock-on effect into other industries (to serve as a counter example to companies just generally hoping that workers get paid less -- in some industries it should not matter much). Like if making steel or concrete were dominated by worker wages, then increases in worker wages would increase the cost of basic construction materials across the entire economy. While other industries that might have tons of workers, but the material costs, and profit margins are actually the dominant part of the final price -- then if the worker wage went up 5%, then the impact on the final consumer price should be small. Having that kind of information should help understand better where wage inflation comes from rather than just generically saying yea people need to get paid less...
Wouldn't this also have to assume a single universe. If our universe is just one of many, then randomness can still play an affect. We just happen to live in the universe with these laws. But the universe next door might have gotten a significantly different dice roll. Does that mean life isn't present there? No exactly, but I imagine it would look much different than us.
I like Snapchat, though I never properly used to because I don't know anyone who uses it. I have been entertaining that app only because of its originality and I do appreciate their innovative spirit. I believe FB has copied their features and Snap continues to be an underdog.

Also, FB apparently was running VPN apps in disguise to monitor the traffic of the younger audience[0] to identify upcoming competition and crush it.

IMHO, this behaviour of the established players destroyed the innovation in America, lost it to China. I remember, at one point it became unfashionable to create new social networks or invest in them but it turns out, FB is not the end of history.

I guess my biggest concern here is the notion that vDSO is going to manage the state in user space, if I understand correctly. That seems like a big footgun.

If I call the getrandom system call, and it succeeds, I am (pretty much) guaranteed that the results are properly random no matter what state my userspace program might be in.

With vDSO, it seems we lose this critical guarantee. If a memory corruption occurs, or my process’s memory contents can be disclosed somehow (easier to do against a userspace process than against the kernel!), I don’t have truly random numbers anymore. Using a superficially similar API to the system call for this seems like a really bad idea.
Thank you for the feedback. It's currently possible if you put Manticore behind an http proxy, e.g. like this https://github.com/db-benchmarks/ui/blob/main/docker-compose...

But I agree implementation of a proper auth should be prioritized. I'll discuss it with the team.
In this category I’m a big fan of https://github.com/bentoml/BentoML

What I like about it is their idiomatic developer experience. It reminds me of other Pythonic frameworks like Flask and Django in a good way.

I have no affiliation with them whatsoever, just an admirer.
Looks pretty much identical to what I get on truepeoplesearch.com, but they don't redact anything.
Well, if this is correct, H20 is the greenhouse gas to be most concerned about:

The scoring model is based on how likely you are to be targeted and hacked. Multiple points of data make it exponentially easier to do successfully. So just one address is not always the worst thing. Having tons of data on your phone (even if some of it is inaccurate) may also make you more of a target.
The first time I read Infinite Jest I was expecting something as inaccessible as Ulysses or Gravity’s Rainbow but ended up finding the book pretty readable and a total delight. And but so I would highly recommend it, just take the off-beat sci-fi setting at face value and skip the footnotes if you feel like you want to focus on the story. You can always return to those later.
As that issue points out, "gj" and "gk" will step through by visual lines.

The complaint in that ticket is that you can't make it the default for all the other ways of scrolling
double entendre: "A phrase that has two meanings, especially where one is innocent and literal, the other risqué, bawdy, or ironic; an innuendo."
First, because there often isn't a context where the word has the correct meaning in the first place. If you have a list of disallowed curse word substrings and Dr. Theodore Fucknuckett gets upset at not being allowed to login, then adding "Fucknuckett" to something called a "whitelist" is using a somewhat tenuous connection to the meaning of whitelist. "Allowlist" is more direct. Also, I just made it up, and I gotta say that Dr. Ted has an awesome last name that I'm going to have to reuse for something sometime.

Dictionary meaning of whitelist:

1. A list of people or organizations that have been approved to receive special considerations or privileges.

2. A list or collection of people or entities that are known, trusted, or explicitly permitted.

Are you giving the word "Fucknuckett" special privileges? Sorta. Is Dr. Fucknuckett explicity permitted? Kinda. His name is, at least.

Master vs slave is different but similar. They are often used in a somewhat strained metaphorical way. There are often better terms. Client/server, primary/secondary, primary/replicant, authoritative/copy. (I don't actually have a problem with "master copy".)

Second, often the only context from which you are deriving meaning is the slavery meaning of master/slave. A master/slave database setup gets its meaning from the master telling the slaves what to do. And once again, it's a strained metaphor, since the significance of the master/slave setup is usually about the data, not the control.

Anyway, the point is that other definitions of the word "master" are irrelevant if you're drawing upon the slavery meaning in the first place.

Those don't invalidate your argument, but if you're balancing the usefulness of terms against potential offense or whatever—well, I argue that the usefulness is not all that high.

Third, relying on the cultural meaning of colors is problematic for the very reasons you cite. I'll give another: Lucifer means "light-bringer". How is anyone supposed to guess which meaning you're drawing upon for a given context unless they already know?

I also happen to be sympathetic to the argument that introducing more negative associations to the word "black" is a problem, given the large number that are already in use. But I'm not arguing that here; I'm just arguing that these words and contexts aren't useful in the first place. And that when the context *is useful, it's very often drawing upon the slavery meaning. (Whether that's a reason to stop using it is a separate question.)
Influencers are just the byproduct of social media platforms commoditizing interaction as means of driving growth and engagement, since just keeping up to date with your friends doesn't drive much engagement. Once you add metrics for engagement like likes, retweets or whatever, it is only natural that interactions become gamified once you put these incentive structures into how the system functions.
by this, I meant, just a Google search of the question, what the hell, doesn't feel very constructive or of good manners
You jest, but at this point YouTube’s recommendation system sees even less complicated than this. Just random videos from years ago will one day become blessed by the algorithm and receive millions of views.

YTs algorithm now just seems to amplify very, very small fluctuations in view counts. 3 people just happened to watch the same video at the same time? It must be trending! Shove it in front of everyone. It’s like Google has used all of machine learning to recreate taking a derivative.
Reasonable Free Tier, yes, but "call us" Enterprise pricing starts at a team of 11 people, a fact that is hidden deep in their pricing grid behind a tooltip, which I find distasteful.

In what world does a 11 person team qualify as an Enterprise? Though pedanticism aside, my problem is more with the opaque pricing than the naming.
Yeah and the prices/performance compared to smaller laptops doesn't make it a good buy today

edit: there is modularity in some, GPD Pocket 3 can be expanded with a serial port or "HDMI in +usb-c" modules. The trouble is, that is quite expensive for what is a bit luxurious netbook
i think the windows registry probably sucks because windows was primarily built to enable developers and end users to use microcomputers to make money (where messes are acceptable as long as it makes money) and unix differs in that it was built to enable telephony engineers to operate a telephone network reliably and efficiently.

so if you're an engineer or scientist or care about operations, you like unix style systems because they were built with you in mind. you, like internal bell system engineers and researchers, are the end user.

if you only care about money, windows is your jam because who cares you can always use money to make people suffer whatever horrendous mess that results from using windows and everybody dumping crap in the registry because who cares it makes money.
They allowed you to use PCs and communicate with the outside world? Were you able to notify other people that you were in this situation, or did you know already?

Who did this to you, and where?
Very accurate. There was a time that I enjoyed this stuff but now it just takes too much effort to filter.
No thanks. This kind of thing should be something open source and/or have published, manually repeatable processes. Sending my phone number to a random place associated with my ip/device/referrer/etc is just bad practice akin to asking for my passwords to evaluate their strength. Especially when it's offered by an entity that has an interest in monetizing 'protection'
"Sanction" has to be an autoantonym. To explicitly allow something is to implicitly forbid whatever is not that something, and to explicitly forbid something to implicitly allow whatever is not that something. Or, at minimum, the not that something in both cases exists in some ternary in-between state.

Thus, any word that exists in this vein is going to end up meaning what is forbidden and what is allowed.

One can sanction a country by only allowing it to trade oil, or one can sanction a country by forbidding it from trading food, clothes, and manufactured goods.

sometimes i Google stuff i already know just to verify i remembered it correctly

lately i've been refreshing my memory on Vue JS and this website comes up a lot: https://thewebdev.info

the solutions i read there were often incorrect and misleading

i can't imagine becoming a developer today, when most of the stuff you read on the internet bullsh*t

of course you can browse the docs, but some docs are tedious to comprehend when all you're looking for is a simple one-line answer
Some actual anti patterns I've experienced:

* When a project is declared "finished" break the team apart and spread
them about the company. Because the original dev never see the code again,
why should they care.

* When a project is late, and it always is, pull out the original
schedule rammed down our throats when the project was first started.
Then it's easy to see who to blame.

* Have legal (YES!) decide rules for agile. True: they decided on 1 week
deliverables, demanded complete documentation per week, insisted on a
waterfall approach to design and dev. "When you've done it, you don't
have to revisit the past!"

* Documentation was in charge of dev: "They read the docs and know what
needs to be done:. I never figured out who "they" were.

* Create a lengthy, complex paper trail for deliverables.

True story of one company - now extinct. They had about a 50% turnover rate.

Given the "announcement" GIF image BOB_89A.GIF was itself a slide show with about 10 seconds between frames, clearly GCE was done with at least slide shows in mind.

Incidentally, that same GIF uses the text extension, something basically no modern thing that can show GIFs supports anymore.
What does your service do to stop SIM swaps exactly?
Perhaps from your vantage point. My vantage point is more and more people are ditching the social sites for real connections again. A few years ago when privacy issue after privacy issue came out, and the revelations on how manipulated we all are on social media by algorithms, my circle decided to ditch social media. I was always the "pioneer" in this front, having ditched it around 2015 or so.

The craziest thing started happening when I got rid of it. I started getting these crazy old things called "phone calls." And people started sending out these really cool decorated cards called "invitations" that apparently come to my house through this really old but fascinating technology called "mail". Real life actual people started walking past me on my neighborhood road and inviting me to house parties or get-togethers again. I met so many wonderful neighbors since!

It had this amazing other side effect as well: it acted like a filter for all the events I used to "miss". Suddenly, it's as if the weight of FOMO was lifted off my shoulders.

But illustrative snark aside, I suppose its going to vary from circle to circle and group to group. My hunch tells me a lot more people simply tolerate social media because they realize much of society has hitched it's wagon to it, and they see this as an unfortunate thing, and it will take just one person in the group to break the mold.
I thought that was so high, so I ran the numbers using some median and average values and I got pretty close.

The average vehicle costs $40k, is owned for 11 years, gets driven 13k miles per year, burns 25 mpg, gas costs $3/gal, insurance is $1500 per year, and the vehicle needs $900 per year in maintenance and repairs.

A lot of people spend far less than this (my car cost me $0.384/mile so far), and some spend far more, but it's not a bad approximation.
Its performance is unparalleled among cloud gaming services at the moment with the updates over the past year or so, Stadia is now a blurry, poorly upscaled mess in comparison, often locked at 30-45fps for certain titles while GFN is pushing real 4K at 120FPS with full ray tracing etc without breaking a sweat.

It will routinely outperform a local series x (nevermind a PS5) given the right conditions, but that’s subject to your ISP, location, and probably not running CP2077 at maxed out ultra RTX graphics settings just yet.
Drones obviously provide several capabilities.

One of those is precise pinpoint attacks.

Russia's extraordinarily high losses of senior general staff officers would highlight these capabilities.

The ability to identify, inderdict, and disable high-capital equipment (e.g., tanks, the Moskova missile cruiser, another.

There's an interesting observation in an unusual source that I've had come to mind:

Regularity, order, and prompt obedience to command are qualities which, in modern armies, are of more importance towards determining the fate of battles than the dexterity and skill of the soldiers in the use of their arms. But the noise of firearms, the smoke, and the invisible death to which every man feels himself every moment exposed as soon as he comes within cannon-shot, and frequently a long time before the battle can be well said to be engaged, must render it very difficult to maintain any considerable degree of this regularity, order, and prompt obedience, even in the beginning of a modern battle. In an ancient battle there was no noise but what arose from the human voice; there was no smoke, there was no invisible cause of wounds or death.

-- Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Wealth_of_Nations/Book_V/...

Smith discusses the earlier realm of shorter-ranged and melee weapons as well.

Bullets have typically required soldiers somewhere in the immediate region, at distances of a few tens, hundreds, or at the extreme, a thousand or so metres. Artillery has longer range but has typically required larger launch systems, even where those are portable.

Human-portable drones extend range to tens or hundreds of km with loitering and seeking capabilities. Again, the range of peril is extended greatly.
What about beam energy and weight of a laser system? Current laser-armed aircraft are huge cargo planes mostly.

I suspect that non-coherent RF pulse weapons with phased-array focusing (along with detection and ranging) could be more realistically portable.
Anyone here want to write a mini-tutorial on how to pollute this data? I assume it's impossible to remove any of it, but it would be nice to poison it at least.
> Agile

> Nope, this one’s in the bin, I’m afraid. It used to mean “not waterfall” and now means “waterfall with a status meeting every day and an internal demo every two weeks”. We have to find a new way to discuss the idea that maybe we focus on the working software and not on the organisational bureaucracy, and that way does not involve the word…

I've noticed that demos tend to lead to "demo driven development" model where software devs write code to impress other software devs, without any real connection to customers, and with the benefit of a decade of time most of those got dustbinned pretty quickly.

I assume a good amount of the incorrect data comes from tying people together based on shared addresses. For some addresses I have, like when I was in the military, there are probably a bunch of people who had the same address over a relatively short period.
Russia isn’t winning. It’s essentially a stalemate at this point. Russia “paused” and “restarted” the war to shore up their force.

How Streaming Stars Pay the Price of Online Fame
But is that really the main use case? Do people often go to McDonald's to order just one item?

If I wanted a Diet Coke, I'm more likely to go to a convenience store. The operation would be simpler: I pick up exactly the item I want from the shelf, pay for it, and leave. I don't need to wait on anybody to bring me anything. Especially for something as generic as a Diet Coke.

If I am at McDonald's, I'm expecting to order McDonald's food. As a designer, I wouldn't optimize for the case of somebody ordering just one item that they could get elsewhere.

That doesn't excuse arbitrary up-selling and obfuscated interfaces, but it doesn't surprise me that ordering a single item (especially a non-food item) isn't as fast as it could be.
Yeah, VT and hybrid-analysis vet before download and other powerful feature access, I think that would be best for this as well.
> The problem comes in when the IDE struggles to keep up, or is busy trying to move my cursor somewhere that I don't want it to be.

Agree completely. Even completely common Vim actions are often just way too sluggish. Not to mention I've remapped "<Esc>" to "jj", which is often unsupported by Vim extensions.

This is before even mentioning all the "helpful" features like parenthesis-completion that IDEs like to foist on me. Word processors don't try to insert matching double-quotes, why do I want an IDE to insert matched parens?

I miss Micron computers, they were clean and click with black cases... It was so easy to work on them because the cases were well designed and durable. Most of the parts in Microns i recall were easily swappable, which was great for troubleshooting. Back then the top of the line desktops were around $2-4k each, I worked in a university library that bought 100 of them and I was a help desk/support tech back around 1995... The job was quite easy, except for working with printers. Now, you couldn't convince me to do PC support if you held a gun to my head. :/

I think a lot of those people went to work for Dell. Unfortunately they lost the plot in making too many fail-prone things as integrated components.
If you have memory corruption in your process, what makes you confident your program state will let you do something useful with the randomness you get back from getrandom()?
Only if you need to define (JS) behavior for them. If you don’t, any arbitrary name will do (and will be an instance of HTMLUnknownElement[1]). Using hyphenated names is still advised, to avoid name collisions with future standard elements.

They pay full price per game to stream is Stadia's problem, not physics. It technically works very well. They just never even came close to a compelling business model.

I use the Xbox streaming all the time, it is works very well. What makes it work is it comes bundled with Game Pass - so you can download and game in the library, or stream most of them. Streaming is an amazing way to try games without committing to multi-GB downloads. Saves time, disk space, and bandwidth when you are a dabbler.
My system boots slow because I have a legacy SCSI card installed and it's boot ROM takes ages to get running and scan the bus. Servers are more likely to have these sort of facilities onboard.
