yes i did mean javascript, and its not all gloom, after all linux can interpret ascii text as executable code if you let it, those were fun times when that was a prevalent issue.

interactive/reactive pages are good things when you want them.

one of the most useful things for me working on a plaintext basis is winlink

its best to attach an flat ascii file due to the way it will probably be used, by analogue radio systems in the group.

its a ham radio thing, and is as close to whats left of the original BBS scene.

Yep, I do similarly.

More tightly bound code is often easier to understand and mechanically modify later - there are fewer places where you lose "if it compiles, it works" guarantees.

I feel like a lot of people are blindly pulling coding habits from libraries, and applying them everywhere. Libraries and applications (i.e. "terminal" products not used as a library by someone else) have different needs and different goals - don't write your application like a library, it'll be a huge pain.
Sure, that's exactly my point: capital punishment is over the top, and prevention would have been achieved with much less.

If light corporal punishment were shown to be just as efficient at prevention as a 1-year in jail sentence, would you consider it?
LTSpice/NgSpice can accurately simulate digital logic in custom-made integrated circuits? Can one achieve close-to-professional results?
first, if you're using io_uring_enter, you're probably not using io_uring in any way that truly minimizes latency. Kernel-side polling is required not just for that, see the latest work on how it integrates with the NAPI driver infrastructure.

second, there should be no spurious copies if you set it up right; it is designed with zero-copy capabilities in mind.

third, whether or not it evalutes ebpf or wastes other time in the kernel stack is a matter of configuration and tuning.

fourth, there are several articles that already demonstrate that it achieves performance close to that of DPDK, with a much easier and more flexible setup.
Hey!

OctoSQL[0] author here, this is really impressive! I like this much more than the approach taken by other sqlite-based tools which first load stuff into SQLite and then let you query it.

On the other hand, it does have a cons that it doesn't automatically infer the schema of the input JSON and you still have to manually parse the raw lines. Maybe it would be possible to surmount this by exposing a json-dedicated file reading function which also does SQL inference (I'm not knowledgable about SQLite internals)?

One piece of feedback is with regard to the benchmarks: I think it would be worth it to add additional benchmarks which work on slightly more complex datasets than the one used here. I did a comparison of this vs OctoSQL on the Brazil dataset, and - as expected - sqlite-lines wiped the floor with it. However, then I ran the following queries on a slightly more complex dataset (the Amazon review dataset in this case, from SPyQL's benchmark notebook[1]):

~> time OCTOSQL_NO_TELEMETRY=1 ./octosql "SELECT COUNT(*), AVG(overall)
FROM books.json
WHERE reviewerName = 'James'"
+-------+-------------------+
| count | avg_overall |
+-------+-------------------+
| 3010 | 4.402325581395349 |
+-------+-------------------+
real 0m49.805s
user 0m32.169s
sys 0m9.163s

~> time ./lines0-linux-amd64-sqlite3 :memory: "SELECT COUNT(*), AVG(json_extract(line, '$.overall'))
FROM lines_read('books.json')
WHERE json_extract(line, '$.reviewerName') = 'James'"
3010|4.40232558139535
real 1m47.933s
user 1m27.024s
sys 0m11.559s

and as you can see, the results go in a very different direction.

But anyhow, congrats on the project, and I'm pumped to see what you come up with next!

> (If an anonymous TOR user can obtain bridge address, shared by any means, email, Signal, messenger pigeons or whatever, RKN operative can obtain it as well)

As a Tor relay operator, this always seemed like the most silly aspect of bridges: if someone really wanted to block Tor, wouldn’t they just block any bridges they encountered?!

Some of the bridges are even published on public pages, wouldn’t that defeat the whole point of bridges in the first place?
It was definitely at least partially tongue-in-cheek ^_^

I bet you could figure out the physical aspects. E-ink tech itself has come a long way in the last few years following some patent expirations, and the electronics stuff is basically just a yubikey JB welded to a license plate frame. The cost per unit would be pretty low at scale, so just replacing borked units seems pretty doable.

Imo, a bigger problem is competent implementation. Yeah sure, the DOL is gonna run a bunch of PKI infrastructure and not mess that up. At least in my region, just keeping a largely static website up seems to be a struggle.
It is unforgivable that they implemented it as an iframe. Who needs EV SSL verification? never heard of it. You can't even see if there's an HTTPS lock indicator! It was bad enough that it asks for bank login credentials, but doing so with no server validation at all is a terrible flow to be teaching users to accept.
It’s crazy that amidst all of the criticisms of how Apple is handling its App Store, the proliferation of scammy apps, the reduced app discoverability thanks to an increasingly-clunky UI, both indie and corporate third party developer dissatisfaction, and regulator scrutiny, they’re choosing to chase after ad monetization, not unlike how many other platforms have. Instead of doing major UI design modernizations or something more Apple-like.

Though I suppose this will please app devs who pursue growth and discoverability by simply buying up ad space.
can you elaborate on that? as far as I know, my government (the USA’s) does little to limit my access to information beyond copyright issues. There is of course censorship on social networks, which is no doubt real, but it’s a much trickier problem to solve.
Haha - first I've seen of that!
I love this example from the docs:

select
line -> '$.id' as id,
line -> '$.name' as name
from lines_read("my-file.ndjson");

This is using the new -> JSON operator which was added to SQLite a few months ago.

The lines_read() thing there is a table-valued function, which means it returns a virtual table that you can query. This is a streaming operation which means it's safe to run it against a 100GB+ file without worrying about it sucking all of the data into memory at once.

Where this gets really useful is when you combine it with a create table statement:

create table names as select
line -> '$.id' as id,
line -> '$.name' as name
from lines_read("my-file.ndjson");

This should efficiently create a table with that exact subset of the data pulled from the newline-delimited JSON file.

Is disposal of nuclear reactor waste products a solved problem yet?

Last I heard, the big "solution" was to stick it in sacred Native American mountains in Nevada and New Mexico and let future generations worry about it.

If that's all we can do, people in 100, 200, 300 years may not be thinking what you're thinking they will think.
Which is what I figured is the point, since it's libre. On the other hand doesn't that defeat the purpose of the privacy thing? If every request for ~one user's worth of traffic is coming from one proxy you can sort of identify one person that way.
What is a “lockdown state”?

Is it a state where there were government mandated mask requirements in schools during a global pandemic? I’m in one of those and at no point in the past two and a half years would have used the term “lockdown” to describe my experience, but maybe I’m weird.

Maybe they kept mask mandates in place too long but most of the kids I know seem alright. It’s not like they were eating lead paint chips.
It is not like Westworld because the pleasure is not in killing / perceiving suffering in others. It’s just in eating (which for most people raised in cities is completely disconnected from the animal suffering).

To be fair we don't hear about the lower classes in general.

People who wrote the (history) books didn't bother and therefore historians and archeologist have not a lot to go by. Much of their everyday lives has to be pieced together from scarce evidence.

Sociology is only arriving on the scene much later.
> West shouldn't allow Russia or China to broadcast directly into people's homes willy nilly. My god man.

What will happen if West would allow it? Will it collapse? If not, why censor it? If it will, what's the difference between West and Putin? Both will collapse without censorship.
Firstly, I applaud your YIMBYism.

Secondly, regarding waste, I share your view, and I think there’s an additional travesty that we’ve had breeder reactor technology for decades. That can significantly shorten the volume and half life of waste while also producing new nuclear fuel. Non proliferation concerns are cited for why it’s not used, but I don’t see why America can’t operate them within its own borders.
Amazing! It's insane how much of that industry has changed. My son was amazed that to get a video game growing up, I had to go Wal Mart, hunt down an employee, have them get the keys to the glass and then pay for it. Then drive home, take it out of the box and play it.

But there was nothing like that feeling. Ripping open the shrink wrap. That was simply the best.

"The SMR’s 12 modules, each producing 50 megawatts"

So each module is a little smaller than the reactor of the 1960's era submarine I served on and is based on the same pressurized water technology. I was a "nuke" so had to go in the reactor compartment several times. As far as I can remember, the reactor was about 10 feet in diameter. We went in the shipyard for refueling after the lifetime of the rods, which was 15 years. I could never understand why we didn't build these for civilian use (cost I figured) but now we will. Cool.

In my experience Clojure teams use high quality Java and JavaScript libraries all the time. It's more often than not a piece of cake.

'Clojure needs a rails' has come up perennially for that last 10 years. I don't disagree, as I think convergence on one web solution rather than a constant churn would have great benefits. The idea that you can't use sysdig, or whatever, because there is no Clojure library, is nonsense. Interop is good and Clojure is nicer than Java for writing Java :)

Also, you can overload functions with further aritiss in protocols just fine. Nothing to do with variadics.

The Bluetooth is nice because I don't have to do anything for it to work. I get in the car, hit play on my phone, and music comes out! Only downside is about a one second delay. Also nice for friends with phones that don't have 3.5mm. I've never had trouble with Bluetooth. I have a pair of wireless Sony headphones that really just work. I tap my phone to the side of them and they automatically turn on and connect. Battery lasts about a month.

No I think plates are important, for the purpose of correlating a vehicle back to the registered owner.

And this can be used, in turn, to look up a lot of the other data you pointed out, even if it does not do so directly.

> Without the plate, there might be nothing to go on, right?

There’s the VIN, but they’re difficult to see at a distance, and don’t indicate the jurisdiction of registration for out of state vehicles, and so, they’d be a PITA for most things states care about using plates for.

Yes that is the technical definition of discrimination, but when people say something is "discriminatory" they usually mean discriminatory in a way that it isn't supposed to be. To your example of a college, it is supposed to discriminate on academic performance, so nobody has a problem with discrimination on GPA (of course comparing GPAs is still an implementation problem).

And to say it's hard to be colorblind is not true. You just don't factor in race. You will probably fall back to the line that black students would have had a higher GPA if they weren't discriminated against in other areas of society, but then it's not the school doing the discriminating. And this is the core of the problem. Instead of selecting the best students, universities have decided to select who they think hypothetically would have been the best student in a perfect world, and doing a very poor job of it. And their arrogance in appointing themselves the corrector of all societal ills and their myopic focus on only gender and race differences in doing so has pissed a lot of people off.

Right, if we want to paint it with a broad brush, it’s system design.

A software architect seems to be a dirty word in some parts, but it’s really just someone who has deep knowledge of various tools, services, etc, and are able to aptly design a system to serve the businesses needs without under/over-architecting.
Why would they not be thinking that? It's inaccessible and geologically stable.

Besides, if we don't tackle the global warming problem, there might not _be_ generations 300 years down the line to judge our actions.
What a weird way to put it, it makes it sound as if this difference of opinion is hate based, not just a wrong belief.

It isn't forbidden "because it works", it is forbidden "because teaching works", and a step back, "they believe it to be wrong information"

By stating your shortcut, eg "teaching works", I feel you are glossing over, while unintentionally, the fact that there is an actual difference of belief here.

Such people can believe black people are inferior, or lgbtq is wrong, without it deriving from hate. Their hate comes from people trying to "corrupt" their children's beliefs, and anyone with a child would feel precisely the same way, if they thought the thing taught, was very wrong.

By understanding the source of the hate, by keeping the source in mind, we are better able to counter it... to perhaps fix it.
There's a lot of difficulty in actually measuring the long-term effects of punishment and policy on society that gets breezed over when we are faced with a brute contrast between retribution and deterrence. It's fine to point out that branding criminals on the face created more repeat offenders, but most other effects are more subtle. I wish I could hear less ethics and more epistemology when the philosophers come to talk about justice.

And large subnets were blocked back then, blocking many unrelated websites/services at once. IIRC even some of RKN's own services were temporarily disrupted by that, but generally they don't shy away from inflicting collateral damage. There's no shortage of cases of blocking large websites for humorous or silly pictures and texts (not even political), too.
One thing to remember is that while the half-life of a very small portion of the waste from nuclear reactors is measured in thousands of years, so it's important not to release it into the environment, the half-life of the mercury that is absolutely released by coal mining is...infinite.
I don't know why I never considered that my car may be collecting data on me. I have a Hyundai, and I just went into my settings to turn off as much of this as possible. I wonder if there's a way to disconnect the antenna or deactivate the cell service since I don't need it...
Yeah, this whole subscription thing sucks. I refuse to engage. The only thing I have a subscription to is Disney+ because the wife wants it for the kids. I have no other software or service or device subscriptions. If nobody has a pay once option I do without.
Knowing nothing about the intricacies of building nuclear power plants, but agreeing whole heartedly with you that humanity dropped the ball when it came to advancing the tech and construction of large scale plants, I am hoping this will have a positive effect.

Large scale plant construction is hard, takes a long time and the knowhow is disappearing (see recent issues in France with their latest project).

With a miniaturized plant the time to market is quicker, which hopefully will start having a positive effect on peoples opinions sooner when it comes to nuclear power.

It may not be optimal, but it has the potential of changing things for the better.

But what if I don’t even need a HSM, but just somebody to store a CA certificate for me? Even if they just put it onto some storage and encrypt it with a KMS key, that’s more than enough for a vast amount of use cases. I don’t need government grade security. I just have some internal services that need to use a trusted certificate, and don’t want to maintain a server with storage myself, just for that.

I could build that service in a weekend(tm)!
This is an offtopic side-track/distraction, but I've been completely thrown by the masking in the screenshots and example CSV dump.

The first thing I'm distracted by in the expanded Wi-Fi menu in the first link is "Address: xx:x0:00:00:x0:00:00". wHaT wErE tHe 'x's bEfOrE?? Why mask out the first 1½ octets of the MAC when the first 3 octets are manufacturer-specific and (IIUC) would have been one of Apple's prefixes, and given that the assignment is apparently random¹ this would practically have leaked absolutely nothing. Next, the first half of the 5th octet is an 'x'. wHy??//? 𝖜𝖍𝖆𝖙 𝖉𝖔𝖊𝖘 𝖎𝖙 𝖒𝖊𝖆𝖓

Further down in the menu we have... OwO what's this™, 𝕒 🄷🄾🄻🄻🅈🅆🄾🄾🄳 𝕀ℙ 𝕒𝕕𝕕𝕣𝕖𝕤𝕤? "010.101.0.10"? Do I briefly switch to octal to parse that first octet? Pretty impressed the Mac in question is the network's router though - especially given it's a Wi-Fi network. Oh - sorry, you got a bit of sarcasm on you there, let me get it off :P

Then we have the scan window further down in the same article. OK, so the distribution of noughts and crosses :) is apparently correlated with the security setting (the protocols are all over the place and seem to represent different routers). I honestly don't get it.

Moving onto the next article, ...oh no the 'X's have gotten angry and are now in ＵＰＰＥＲＣＡＳＥ! I wonder where "01:01:00:01:XX:01" is??? "10:01:10:01:X0:10" looks positively scary.

A small tangent is required to remark about how everything that has ever happens on an iPhone happens at 09:41 really has gone so far as to be unrealistic. The original idea was just to have the marketing materials acknowledge when iPhone went live at WWDC. These screenshots with the "scan result: 09:41:45 AM" are absurd, both because iOS 11 did not exist back then, and because it would not be possible to practically do a network scan and deployment at the exact same nanosecond the OS you're supposedly supposed to be using is being debuted. The one event categorically predates the other. Hmph.

OK, moving to the bottom of this article we get the... notascreenshotsoapparentlytheartdepartmentcantseeit™ CSV data. With 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 inside©! Firstly, unfortunately I don't know how to do a "this SSID and this SSID within 10km of each other" search, so I don't know if ACES and Cuba are actually real, but what I can say is that while the first listed MAC address turns out to be invalid (makes sense), the second and third entries are Apple-prefixed - which doesn't make any sense since this is supposed to be a list of access points, not client devices - but in any case, both MACs are valid and resolve to a street address - 𝔀𝓪𝓽, 𝓪𝓹𝓹𝓵𝓮? 𝓾 𝓸𝓴? - and while the second MAC only has one entry, the third has a location history that includes an address <10 meters away from the second one.

I'm always kinda stunned by how destructive people can be when money is involved.

I'm not surprised, I completely expect it and do what I can to mitigate it. But it's still shocking. What kind of sociopath builds something and decides "I'll throw this leftover crap where others drink" for decades? And why do they have so much power, so frequently?
