> the situation in question isn't really about NIST/NSA response to FOIA requests at all.

I disagree. To my mind, the issue is that a national standards agency with form for certifying standards they knew were broken, still isn't being transparent about their processes. NIST's reputation as been mud since the ECDRBG debacle.

People are not at liberty to ignore NIST recommendations, and use schemes that are attested by the likes of DJB, because NIST recommendations get built into operating systems and hardware. It damages everyone (including the part of NSA that is concerned with national security) that (a) NIST has a reputation for untrustworthiness, and (b) they aren't showing the commitment to transparency that would be needed to make them trustworthy again.
Silca do not have their own stores but they are distributed through regular brick and mortar shops too.
1st is exactly what I do while reminding myself that I don't need to understand everything. Somehow for me it's easy to think like that in OO code and not FP.
The original phrasing could be worked on but it's not so far out as you say either.

> passing blame for current problems

Humans think we're special but we're still slightly more complicated networked state machines. This means the issue of metastability, where a pathological state is entered and maintains even with the triggering stimulus removed, due to sustaining effects such as fitness criteria given rampant corruption, is real. Control and dynamical systems theory is as applicable to human systems as it is to traffic networks or distributed systems.

This isn't to say current problems are solely because of past inequities but worth recognizing that once entered into, exiting by solutions which entail solving challenging coordination problems are extremely difficult to obtain.

I know next to nothing about Indian history but what they says sounds plausible even if causality for present is more involved. I have at least heard of the famous Indus Valley Civilization and its emphasis on baths, scientific precocity, exceptional levels of egalitarianism, pacifism and influence on subsequent Indian civilization. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indus_Valley_civilisation#Post...
Maybe they have understood that it is time to give up the moral upper ground. And just use same tactics that other side have exploited.
Surely "keeping things a little more hidden" depends on reliable cryptography.
Good point, though I don't like the idea of a setup where your test file's only executed if you remember to do that personally (if the tooling doesn't already do similar, I'd at least want to generate the list you describe by globbing the relevantly named/located files).

You could just copy that entrypoint into another untracked file, have its list include (or be only - quicker) the new untracked test file, and execute that instead of the normal one while bisecting.
Macy’s tears the tag, adds a red “sold tag,” and enters the number into their system, so you can’t just grab something off the rack, and return it.

This was because people would grab something off the rack, tear off the tags, take it to the register, and request a refund. It wasn’t even shoplifting.

Tell me what you need and I’ll tell you how hard it is.

I’m sure certain things are a tick of a box, with salt it’s usually 3-5 lines of yaml. It’s not like you’re writing a management system by hand in a general purpose programming language.
This sounds like a problem you will face many times in the future and therefore you may benefit from finding a solution that will solve for both this request and all similar future requests.
For example, instead of writing any customised response, you could write a blog post / make a webpage that explains your approach to these types of request and then simply link to it in a reply. Then every time this comes up you can simply paste in “Thank you for your request. Please see [URL]”.

I find doing this type of thing (creating nice canned responses, creating reusable answers) nearly always pays off in the medium and long term and find that it’s much easier to put the effort into a response knowing that you’ll get long lived value from it vs it just being useful for one person.

Similarly, I often find others have done similar and if their thoughts align with mine I don’t need to write the answer myself but instead can refer to someone else’s blog post etc.
Bizarre response for “how do I meet people who love learning, presumably for friendship “

I too would like to share more of my immediate world with passionate people who are curious and creative. I find small talk and beer and football at the cafe to be boring. I actually went to a debate salon the other day just to hear some actual thought behind the mindless typical chatter.

Just mapping the whole codebase without a specific goal in mind seems counterproductive to me.

Instead, I get myself a couple specific tiny bugfixes/features to do first. Just finding out where those are, one by one, tells you a lot and may not be as simple as it sounds.

I was once hired to help with polishing a code base for imminent shipping. I fixed one bug. The fix was one line, but not trivial at all. Took me a whole week of reading code. The customer was extatic. There were like 12-15 years worth of layers of code to read.
You talk a lot about Darwin's theory. You've strongly implied or outright said in many comments that gayness is a choice.

Huge sense of entitlement showing up on project forums is inevitable. I think it is okay to be open and blunt (and civil) when responding to such posts.

I had ended up codifying [1] my stance around this to a contrib document to quickly link to annoying issues when closing them. Saves the headache of having to write fresh explanations.

> I know there were four million rows in the dataset, but is 30 minutes the kind of run-time you would expect for a query like this?.

Clearly not since they got it down to a few seconds ;).

But tongue in cheek aside, it's incredibly dependent on what is in those 4M rows, how big they are, if they are indexed, whether you join in weird ways, whether the query planner does something unexpected.

SQL tooling is by and large pretty barbaric compared to most other tool these days, Intellij (and various spin off language specific IDE's) have the best tooling I've seen in that area but even then it's primitive.
If anything, people who originate in cold climate countries visiting hot-blooded countries would receive more UVB due to less skin melanin, and thus be more hot blooded than the natives of hot blooded countries when interacting with them, and vice versa, so that would't explain the association.
Irony is the "worse is better" guy was a lisp fanatic IIRC :)
Trust me I tried all kinds of drugs and psychedelics are not the kind that get you hooked. Stimulants are especially addictive in my opinion. Psychs are the kind of drugs you say I have enough for a while if you overdo. On top of it they build tolerance immediately.
For the mostly high-level C code that I write, I find that compiler optimisations give typically give speed-ups in the 1.5x - 3x range. A lot of code is bound by external bottlenecks that would completely mask such a speedup anyway.

For really performance-oriented code you probably want to drop to SIMD first, and play with compiler optimisations second.
you don't get to see other's images and talk with them in a shared chat channel with that approach (unless they build out a lot more web app). Which is half the fun of it. (Not that hard to build, but more work than a Discord bot.)

I'm pretty sure it's not the same. There must be a reason for all those merchants around me who will accept VPay or Maestro, but not Visa nor Mastercard.
> ughh I dislike when pop history takes this smarmy tone and is also not particularly accurate.

Smarmy means excessively or fulsomely flattering.
>but, AFAICT, it is 1:1 correlated with the set of countries that have strong avoidance of tanning / strong interest in skin-whitening.

I'm not seeing that. The countries that are most into avoidance of tanning are probably in Southern Asia, or Asia in general. Their birth rates are not that low, with the exception of Japan, S. Korea and Taiwan.
> Even just automating the cutting of cloth would allow to tailor to fit, not just standard sizes, with no significant increase in net effort.

I think you are seriously underestimating how big of a change in effort that would be. Just tracing and keeping track of a particular garment through the production would be a huge effort.
Fixing bugs has worked out although I had to pull my hair.
Really sad he passed. Jeff was troubled but gave so much to our community :(
that's a common thing I hear, "it fulfills its purpose". Doesn't excuse the limitations and that the website doesn't give you higher quality stems

It's interesting you call it a toy, the team behind it calls the next musical revolution. Your expectations were met, while the ones they set weren't.

Matano - (https://github.com/matanolabs/matano), an open source security lake platform on AWS. Let's you run security log analytics on an open data lake, and detections as code in your AWS account.

Cool because it's all OSS, serverless, high scale, low cost, and built with modern technologies like Rust and Apache Iceberg.
Before the flip-flops implemented as monolithic integrated circuits, all the flip-flops used AC-coupled clock inputs that required fast input clock edges and the correct operation of the flip-flops depended critically on various timing parameters.

The reason for this is that it saved much more than a couple of transistors.

Most flip-flops with relaxed timing requirements are of the so-called master-slave type, and the most frequent implementation variants need either 4 times or 3 times more transistors than are needed for an AC-coupled flip-flop, for which 2 transistors may be enough in its simplest variant.

Even the first integrated flip-flops have used schematics similar to the earlier discrete flip-flops, until they were replaced by later models, using more transistors, such as the TTL 54/7472, 54/7473, 54/7474, 54/7476.
We (OpenSSH) haven't "disregarded" the winning variants, we added NTRU before the standardisation process was finished and we'll almost certainly add the NIST finalists fairly soon.
Yes, you're correct. Your interpretation is the only one where the numbers make sense.
"Not template-heavy" mainly just means not library code. Templates, like most important C++ features, are mainly there to enable writing better, faster, more powerful, and less easily misused libraries than you could have, without.

Failing to use good libraries would be a mistake. A library is probably faster and less buggy than what you would code in place. Time spent improving libraries is amortized across all uses, so there is more of it. This is very evident in heavily used libraries.

You might not notice the templates much, but they made your experience using the library better. They have tailored the generated code to be optimal for just the way you are using it, instead of doing what would be just OK for all uses.
> It basically guarantees that most people won't know about it

They have close to a million users on their Discord, seems to work out not so bad... But I suppose the real reason was simply to save time and money.
It's a website where you can find kinks near your location and register which ones you have tried. What explanation could be needed.
I think you have those options on how to react to a feature request:

1. Great idea, I/we will implement it
2. Great idea, Pull Request welcome!
3. Out of scope, won't be implemented (even if a pull-request is submitted), because ..., /close
4. Out of scope, (no explanation) /close

If you're the single maintainer of a project, it's easy. Write one sentence and just close the issue or pull request.

If you're a team maintaining a project, you need to agree with the team on that, obviously.

But keep in mind: random Github users are just random Giuthub users, random people. Treat them with the respect they deserve. If they don't deserve a lot, just close their issues.
I live in the northeast with a Chevy Bolt (now with a battery that doesn’t explode). I did have to buy snow tires and have to swap them bi-annually. Still I agree with the OP that the number of things one must do to keep the EV going is much smaller than an ICE. Always read the manual on the maintenance schedule
If the codebase is ginormous and hard to decipher then you could use the magic source control to go back in time to an early point in the codebase. It’s probably going to be easier to understand a codebase that is 3 months old vs 6 years old, so you could go and check out that version, understand it and then jump forward a few years.
This also gives you the benefit of understanding the evolution of the code and understanding why it is not just what it is.
I think this is saying that microdosing is mainly placebo effect, and otherwise doesn’t do much. This makes sense. All these participants took full dose psychedelics at some point, and thus had very strong associations.
So if we can't trust statistics provided, how are we supposed to collectively discuss and reason about the options to determine the most economical one?
A soft boundary between data and code raises interesting legal and
political implications once viable homomorphic encryption rolls out.

We talk of "data centres" as if they were warehouses and distribution
depots for good. And we talk of "cloud computing" as if it were an
online sausage factory where things get sent to be "processed". This
is the paradigm into which our current trust models are fitted. Along
with it comes the idea of moving or limiting PII across jurisdictional
borders. But it's not the only paradigm.

If (a BIG if) we could actually have endpoint security for the
user/owner, trusted platform technology might one day work in a
fashion rather favourable to privacy and science (benevolent
technological society and digital governance).

You send me the computation (as ostensible data) that you want to
operate on my (secret) "data" (as ostensible code/function) which I
apply and return results. You never see the data. If there's a way you
cannot even in principle discover the data by reverse engineering or
probing then it could enable the good uses of big data (voting and
population scale medical research) to be achieved while eliminating
the evils of surveillance capitalism and targeted advertising.

Any thoughts as to the theoretical feasability of this? (I'm not
interested in "big thugs will never let that happen" or "nobody gives
a fig, privacy is dead anyway" whines)
There are people like that. They will keep riding you for as long as you keep responding in a polite and reasonable manner.

The tactic is to add progressively larger delays to each response, while make them shorter at the same time. Start with a delay of a couple of days and progress to weeks. This works and it's very effective in discouraging this sort of behavior.

The same works with for new tickets, but you can just close them after a week. Optionally add something like "Dully noted, thanks".
Repeating this here. We (OpenSSH) have not disregarded NIST, we just added a PQ algorithm before NIST finished their competition and we'll almost certainly add support for the finalist fairly soon.
Nothing in this messy, complicated life is 100% clear; everything has exceptions, outliers, and grey areas... including biological sex. If you want to spend your free speech and precious time on this Earth invalidating other people's gender, then that's your prerogative, but you shouldn't be surprised if they use their free speech against you in return. Them calling you a bigot (or whatever) is a direct retaliation to you saying something objectionable about them or who they are. If you think they shouldn't be so offended then you should ask why you're so offended at being called a bigot. It works both ways.
There's no reason to be upset :) I understand it's offensive, but trying to be neutral/detached, and "professional", is IMO the best approach (also, for one's health).

You don't have resources for that (I presume), and clarify this is (IMO) the appropriate, neutral, answer; that's all.

There is also another sneaky approach. You can add that you're open to commercial support, and to contact you in private for the details. I think this is also understandable, but better be careful. This will surely put things in perspective to the user.

(background: I'm a maintaner myself, although I've never dealt with abusive users; I did make it very explicit though, when I didn't have resources, and users were always understanding).
That was much higher than I had expected.
It’s effectively mandatory. If you register an account without it, you will be banned within fifteen minutes, even if you do absolutely nothing, for “suspicious activity”. The only recourse? Handing over your phone number. Apparently that absolves you of any “suspicious activity”.

Give it a go in an incognito tab now, you’ll see. It’s intentionally deceptive, and they’ve shown time and time again they can’t be trusted with the data.
Now I fear something similar is happening at schools, as children get overdiagnosed with attention disorders. When I was small, I think it was better accepted as a fact of life that it was hard to make children sit still in a traditional school setting. Instead of fixing school, now we are trying to fix the children with drugs. In a setting with lot of medicated children, tolerance for previously deemed normal child behavior is diminishing. Parents freak out if their child isn't behaving as well as his/her medicated peers.
Would you accept it if they did offer a (high quality, fitting the project style etc.) PR?

If so, something I see a lot which I quite like is along those lines - not something the maintainers are interested in (or whatever) so unlikely to be implemented, however high quality PRs will be considered.

Probably you're right, and they'll never offer one. But if you'd genuinely consider and perhaps merge one if they did, I think this is a good outcome for everybody.

(Plus then you can leave the issue open which can be appeasing - and catch others requesting the same - just lock it if necessary as nothing further to discuss without a PR which can be discussed in its own comments.)
Population collapse is likely not going to come from too many people becoming steralized (I mean what percentages are we talk g about here, there would have to be a massive growth to even make a measurable dent into populations). Typical population collapse in biological systems comes from overpopulation that cannot be sustained by the ecosystem, which results in the sudden collapse. When we talk about the survival of the human race people not having children are likely a net positive, but somehow I get the impression that's not really what your opposition to gender conversion is about
Oh absolutely, there might be a bias in some the ways we look at them, but there is also a lot who can say without doubt (as in did person X live there —-not much bias about that for instance) or what kind of foods did they eat (also a lot of documentation about those things)

Recently I had a back and forth with a German historian and German history is a lot more less prone to filling in the gaps, where as in the anglicized sphere there is a bit more interpretation/extrapolation (in the academia)

A “poor hunter” was someone hired by the community (usually the towns council I believe) to keep the poor, the beggars and so on from the lands and homes. It was a profession! Some people had multiple jobs, and this could be one of them.

Doing genealogical research is great to do because you get out of the big scope of things and you follow your family through time into a historic context. It’s a long way from the broad strokes you learn at school, and it gets personal. I highly recommend it for anyone to do!
That's an uncharitable reading. OP is just sharing what works with her/him. Which is ok. From what I understood from your comment, for you it doesn't. Which is ok too, as now you know yourself a bit better. Two personal experiments with very different outcomes. There's no need for moral judgments either way.
