> The difference between Ops and DevOps isn't just in how the team is organised, but rather what the job itself consists of.

Do you mean that a DevOps engineer's role and skillset is different from an operations engineer? And that hiring DevOps engineers instead of operations engineers is more in line with DevOps?
Bonfire of the credibility.
>I always thought my birthday is a special day but turns out everybody close to me is not especially nicer..

If you don't have expectations on people and circumstance then you are never disappointed.
My phone, computer, and watch are on silent; I only get notifications on my watch, and almost none:

I enable certain IM senders (kids, partner) and slack (certain channels only). I have an app that reminds me to take my meds through the day. Nothing else.

There are task-specific notifications I would like to enable (e.g. my car is arriving) but when you enable notifications for those apps, the apps spam me at other times. So polling it is.

I never enabled browser notifications.
OP does have a point though, especially with DJB's thoughts (and others) on the matter.

https://nitter.net/hashbreaker?lang=en

For FIPS in particular, they've first gotta sunset the traditional algorithms for anyone to strictly need to care (and even then, parallel constructions of PQC+traditional could let other PQC algorithms in -- like the Chrome experiments -- from a FIPS perspective, you can treat the PQC like plaintext). And for them to be useful, adoption needs to occur in the IETF communities (PKIX, TLS, SSH, IKE, ...).

You're probably looking at least 5 years on the adoption window to customers running the lastest updates. NIST's blessing might help some of the IETF conversations that now need to happen. But not listening to DJB, given his track record, likely will anger a subset of IETF contributors and might hinder adoption.

It'll be interesting to see if IETF takes the more conservative approach advocates by DJB or if they continue on with NIST's blessing alone. But I'm just a watcher... :-)

Edit: and for the record, FIPS never mandated Dual EC DRBG but it was still a mistake for NIST to rubber stamp.
>The right question is, are there any companies where data is not a mess? I'm guessing not.

I've been in a company that claimed to be "data driven". There was plenty of data that wasn't a mess - and we used it to make a lot of decisions. But, of course, we discovered new uses for our data - and that had to be cleaned.

The distinction is that all data starts messy, but you clean some, then discover new dirt. So you clean that, then discover some more. Some companies have more clean data than others.

Back when I was a kid I played with some of those black MIDI files. I think one of the tricks is to put the same melody on multiple octaves. It makes the sound fuller without going dissonant.

There is also a phase like effect that can be done by playing sgales really quickly. I think I saw that in one of the original Touhou black midi files.

And of course there is pressng all 88 keys on the MIDI piano at the same time. I would like to know what that sounds like on a real piano though.

I think black MIDI starts as a rendering artifact in a Japanese music notation software. The name was "Frieve" or something. It renders as many notes put in a measure. Without expanding the view. That is sort of what's going on in the Wikipedia pic.

It is easy to be critical of Microsoft and many of their decisions until you reflect on the reality that they have provided the software that has been running billions of computers world-wide for almost four decades. And they have done this with an astounding level of software and hardware compatibility across time, devices and technologies.

This is critical to understand before pointing at anything MS and being critical. The desktop world overwhelmingly runs on Windows. This has been the case for decades. And the reason is backwards compatibility.

Imagine having a requirement that every decision you make must not break backwards compatibility. And then imagine having to stay as true as possible to that rule for 40 years.
There are other ways to interact with people than through texts or calls. Besides, GP did not say that he doesn't text or do calls he just said that they aren't begging for his attention.
I never trust clients listed on a site unless I've personally spoken to the client. You never know if it's "we use it for all our traffic" or "we use it for one tiny feature that's barely used and was made as a hackathon project a couple years back."
Except that could easily be achieved by making the phone slightly thicker, instead. When phones are so thin and fragile that a rigid case is practically mandatory, I don't know why "thin" is a selling point.
> This is a far cry from /etc/progname.conf in Linux.

Some of these arguments are not really in good faith. First, this isn't a technical issue with the registry, but with how it's been used over the years and never "refactored" - a distinct issue. Second, I dare you to run "ls /etc" and claim it's not a mess...

Besides, most of the post is how anyone with a text editor and admin rights can bork/hack the machine. As if someone with admin rights couldn't bork/hack the machine in a billion ways. Or if someone with admin rights on linux couldn't write garbage to /dev/sda1 and "hide" something from the OS.

Unsolicited advice for scrolling without spamming j and k:

- C-u and C-d to jump up/down

- [ and ] to go prev/next empty line (I have a macro to clear empty spaces at the end of lines so this works well for jumping functions in code)

- from the article: 50% to go the halfway point of a document

- 100gg to go to line 100

- 100k to go 100 lines down

Are there any more good ones?

Edit: occurs to me that you might have remapped kkk to escape normal mode. At one time I had done this for jj. Now I just use C-[ as it’s portable to vanilla vim setups and less of a stretch than the escape key.
Yeah. So. What exactly is your point here?

- a distributed, technically suitable protocol existed for describing yourself and your network?

- that you had control of it? And thats... bad?

- that large social networks saw interoperability and decided No! - it would unprofitable if we didnt own the whole game?

Foaf was - and is - a very good vocabulary for a social network.
Having a corporate centralist version lead to what exactly? Qnanon? Antivax? Neonazis? Astroturf?

While foaf would not have been immune to this, the seperation between protocol and filtering aggregator would have at least provided a choice.

When I was at Spotify 3-4 years ago, one of the problems was poor metadata for most music. There's a semi-internal project to be better at classification (https://everynoise.com/) but it has its own problems.

And you can't rely on automatic classifications either. But then music providers don't give you proper info for the music they provide. It's a circular problem.

And then it's a social problem, too. You may want to listen to music that other people that listen to your music do... But then you might not want to do that.

It's a mess.

So basically instead of

number_list = [ x for x in range(20) if x % 2 == 0]
print(number_list)

one gets to write something like this,

auto number_list = std::views::iota(0, 20) | std::views::filter([](const int n) {return n % 2 == 0; });
for(int num: number_list)
std::cout << num << ' ';
Are you serious? iOS upgrades give you the entire OS experience and upgraded app support with a few flashy features missing.

Compare that to Android where the best case is invisible security updates and guess which causes upgrade anxiety?

I'm an Android developer for a living but I use iPhones because the Android ecosystem is currently optimized for generating e-waste.

SoC manufacturers generally don't make enough money to want to do more than the bare minimum, so unless you're Google making billions off a hundred other angles you don't do OS updates for more than a few years and maybe pay lip service with security upgrades.
Why does the battery size matter? Do we compare car fuel tank sizes? We typically care about how it affects our use of the product. How long can the iPhone SE last on a charge? How does it compare to other iPhones?

To be honest, learning to code was a complete waste of time.

No one in their right mind would jump through all of the hoops required by the software world's completely insane attempts to filter people out of their hiring processes, all while complaining about being short handed.

The obvious takeaway is that none of these companies are qualified to be writing code at all, because they can't manage themselves. How are they going to manage a codebase if they can't manage their office head count?

The whole "younger generation bad" thing, yeah. But the specific claim of loss of attention span caused by internet / social media, no. And I think there is something there, because I don't just notice in in the younger generation, I notice it in myself. e.g. I find it very much harder to sit down and read a book than I used to.
I don't know the exact year that file format was made, but you had to think about performance more than wasting so much memory and cpu cycles to have a fancy file format, no?

Ofcourse that era Microsoft tools didn't think much about interoperability outside of Microsoft ecosystem. But to me it seems that them having some XML based file format at that time would be silly and have disadvantages. XML actually was started on '96 and published on '98 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML

.doc seems to be used starting from '89

Is there any "way" at all that doesn't suck though? Not having "a way" in this sense is more like a feature, a single source of truth works well if it really is treated as such by all actors.

Configurations under unix are a mixture of stdin, config files, env variables and bespoke solutions.

Under Windows, you have all of the above and on top of that the registry.

Any attempt at a solution in this regard risks being a rerun of the notorious xkcd: 14 ways to specify configurations -> this should satisfy everyone -> 15 ways to specify configurations.
> For encryption, NIST recommends the use of CRYSTALS-Kyber, although that recommendation may still change. For signatures, NIST has selected CRYSTALS-Dilithium as the primary algorithm, plus two additional algorithms, Falcon and SPHINCS+.

This great news for all teams involved, including the team members behind Falcon who some of them have developed the Algorand blockchain, which most highly likely be using Falcon for quantum resistance for many years to come.
You can interact with people in ways other than the immediate interruption that come from phone notifications. Asynchronous communication (answering E-mails, texts, voice messages) can happen on your own schedule when it's least disruptive. You can do it as frequently as you want, too, if responsiveness is important. The point is that you are in control of when that interaction happens, not the device.

I'm reminded of the band Kraftwerk's strategy for dealing with interruptions, from their Wiki page[1]:

"... anyone trying to contact the band for collaboration would be told the studio telephone did not have a ringer since, while recording, the band did not like to hear any kind of noise pollution. Instead, callers were instructed to phone the studio precisely at a certain time, whereupon the phone would be answered by Ralf Hütter, despite never hearing the phone ring."

Highly recommend this style of celebration. My partner and I have made a habit of some form of interesting travel for major birthdays---Everest (just base camp), Svalbard, caving in NZ, etc. Other years just a local trek or hillclimb.

It doesn't need to be expensive (the above had high flight costs, but the remainder was below sustenance spend if we were at home). The goal is to do something well removed from normal daily experience as it creates a nice memory anchor for that point in time.
Again, I don't understand your point. GVim is GUI, not TUI.
I was mostly thinking about Neovide[1], which is active, but I've read somewhere that Neovim was planning on not supporting this idea (of multiple GUI frontends) and that they were going to focus on the terminal UI. Maybe that was wrong though, since it's still listed on the Wiki you linked, and Neovide is still getting new commits.

I attended a seminar on the office binary file formats about 10 years ago at MS. The reason it was done was for performance reasons, including the wonky layout that made it quicker to save and read the file from slow media like floppy discs.
I've seen "Crazy European commercial" type videos and they were things like two people having fairly aggressive sex and in the very background a crumpled pair of jeans or socks or something was the product being advertised. IIRC it was French or Belgian commercial. Then there were several other commercials in that presentation from various European countries that were on either side of that level of "sell it with sex".

A quick Google query didn't find it but this comment came up that is similar

>, I remember being stuck for half an hour in a traffic jam in east Beirut with my husband and kids on the way to a mountain picnic. Right in front of us were two giant billboards (both the same) advertising jeans with a man and woman in a sexy pose, and the woman (of course) without a top. I guess by then I was not shocked but did feel it was gratuitous (to sell jeans? or to sell sex?).

DevOps should really mean "Someone who builds systems and pipelines that allow developers to more seamlessly and sensibly deliver value to the end user".

What DevOps actually means in practice is "We had someone without any operations knowledge build a system before someone with the correct design skillset arrived, you can't remove it or change it because it is business critical, your job is now to maintain this like a classical Sysadmin would".

Absolutely: the definition of a nudge (Thaler and Sunstein’s “libertarian paternalism”) was meant to include that it is cheap and easy to avoid, and therefore makes no difference to the (mythical) fully rational consumer. Taxes or other price interventions absolutely do not qualify.

I don't think the OP is saying there is no difference between male and female breasts just that restrictions based on those differences are inane.

In particular these restrictions are broadly a cultural thing rather than innate and part of the taboo about being naked in some cultures is because they sexualize some body parts to the point of fetish. This isn't universally true, even historically within cultures where it is true now and is often lopsided based on power relationships. For example women often bear the brunt of more restrictive dress codes because they stem from patriarchal societies.
Is BGP Safe Yet? No
Curious, what video games?
I disagree entirely.

First, the notion that someone somewhere in society doing porn is bad for the society itself. The desire to shave off societies' "stray hairs" is deeply immoral. It has always has been, but that does not make it right.

Second, I strongly disagree that carefree attitudes towards sex/nudity is automatically
dehumanising, animalistic or objectifying. Sexuality, the human body, etc. This stuff is deeply human. See: 100 thousand years of art history.

Last... what is this animal-human dichotomy anyway. Humans are animals. Is childbirth or breastfeeding "farther from human and closer to animal?" These are as viscerally mammalian as key parties on a Wednesday.

Do Czechia have the same agrement than Belguim, IE they have to be able to carry US tactical nukes?

If so this isn't checkmate at all, it is just than the only plane that can carry those nukes are the F16 and the F35.

Or it can just be a political move.

I still think the F22 have the best design for any stealth fighter, and the Rafale have a better design for multipurpose planes. The F35 tries to be a multipurpose stealth plane, and it suffers greatly. I get that it won't dogfight and will only engage F3 weapons against others gen3+, but i do think the inclusion of drone reconnaissance in the airspace will render stealth harder to obtain (well, not against Russia tbh, so i gess its fine). I do think the operating costs could cripple the airforce of small econ like the Su operating costs crippled the Russian army (less than 80 hours/year on average for their pilots? seriously?), and think the Grippen would be a better choice overall, but it is the cost-saving boring engineer who's talking.

Exactly like a NTFS drive can have mountpoints that are actually other drives, the Registry on disk is made by several files, at least:

SAM

SECURITY

SYSTEM

NTUSER.DAT

and since Vista

The whatever is called the Registry when virtually assembled together is accessed as if it was a filesystem on a single file, is not in itself a "file", it is something else, or if you prefer it seems like being a monolithic file but it is backed by a number of separated files.
