There are so many security cameras and smartphone users that we are flooded with videos of everyday and not so everyday experiences: funny pets and kids, surprising weather events, accidents, crimes, etc. Why are there no better videos of UFOs. We have great videos of people, birds, cars, and tornados, but the videos of UFOs are always grainy, blurry, and out of focus.

Here is an odd thing: GNU Make looks for the file in this order (according to the manual): GNUmakefile, makefile, Makefile.

The last time I saw a lower case 'm' makefile was eons ago.

The manual itself recommends Makefile rather than makefile, right in the same paragraphs where it tells you makefile is checked first.

Why look for makefile before Makefile, a file next to nobody has.

Maybe lower-case makefile was a predecessor to GNUmakefile; a way of having a GNU-specific makefile. (If so, that's a noteworthy thing the manual ought to mention.)
I mean, it's not even that hard to put together a child-size dummy of ballistic gel (a la Mythbusters). Doesn't have to be a work of art, and it should be indistinguishable from the real thing (in terms of radar signature, etc).

Why not just have someone put one on a low cart and drag it along the road in front of your speeding Tesla, and beta-test it that way? Isn't Tesla doing that?
"guard" is kind of useless but it's minor.
I must say that this looks amazing on my phone. Spacing, font, sidebar, and lack of header are chef’s kiss. I would however potentially add a dismissible welcome text as a header to describe what I’m looking at.

You're only seeing the direct radiation risk here .. chances of being struck by a decaying particle from a hot pile of short half life material breaking down.

There is a significant ongoing risk from toxic isotopes that aren't especially radioactive but nonetheless pose a toxic health risk (akin to straight up rare heavy metal poisoning).

There is a related risk from 'biological isotopes' that are taken up within the food chain and concentrate in plants, animals and perhaps ultimately human bodies where slow damage is caused by slow breakdown (again, not highly radioactive).
I think so too, which is disturbing in its own way. I don't want president abusing that information, but if the president is powerless and considering the NSA has already shown that it is able to outright lie to congress without consequence what hope do any of us have to change anything?

I think it's important to be clear that it's been possible to create new functions in Excel since time immemorial, but it used to be possible only in VBScript - the same situation as most other spreadsheet editors, e.g. Google Sheets where it must be done in AppScript.
You've got some very significant equivocation going on there though. The strong Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is that the lack of a familiar term makes things difficult to think. The obvious proof of the weak hypothesis proves that lack of a familiar term makes concepts difficult to express. It is not obvious that difficulty in coining a term reflected any difficulty in thinking of the concept.

I don't think that's a serious concern from a radioactive meltdown of a small core. The major hazard is, was, and will remain measurable radioactive dose.

Because you could get Fusion360 for $500 per year but the equivalent in Solidworks cost $5K base+$5k for CAM+$5K for modeling+$5K for ...

Solidworks is the monopoly and it was only the insertion of Fusion360 that broke it. Solidworks is so entrenched that they still haven't reduced their prices even though Fusion360 is absolutely killing them at the low end.

> Why don't people move? It's not like a super free market, but there's a bunch of options in the space.

I'd love to hear about them and throw some money at them. Before Fusion360, I knew of basically nothing at the low end.
> For most people growth means that the economy is getting better and recession means that the economy is getting worse.

That's a fine shorthand, but the reason the standard data and interpretation of it matters is that otherwise all you have is what people feel about the economy, which is not very useful information.

There are levels to how much you can push given atenna sizes and amount of gear at either end - the submarine rates are the basic most reliable with least equipment type of transfer rates (as I recall - I was literally barely a teenager at best at the time and learning radio | electronics | etc for the fist time, after which I went more into a theory direction).

It would seem I was recalling frequency-shift keying modulation rates:

You can analyze 不要 in the use under discussion as one word, or as two. There's no rule that says a word can't be more than one syllable long, but then again 不要 is not exactly etymologically opaque.

There are still many good old "offline" CAD programs, some of them points out permanent license as their selling point (Alibre Design, BricsCAD, VariCAD...). When it comes to simulation, there are also many others. I usually use FreeCAD to run simple FEM analysis (it has more possibilities than Solidworks SimulationXpress)

Many Fusion users have switched to alternative CAD programs in last year or two. Many of them started using Alibre products, which have quite good pricing (Atom is great choice for hobby users/small workshops). Too bad it's Windows only (like almost all CAD programs). But I think FreeCAD also increased their user-base, which will hopefully help them grow (like Blender). It's really great software, but still missing some features needed for (more) professional work.

It's hard for companies to move to another CAD software, but some companies are really pushing their users away :D

I remember when I ran into that first issue on my forum, I felt like I was the first person to ever use Postgres full-text search. (8?) Years ago, googling the exact error brought up nothing except some dev email/listserv chatter. Nobody else was indexing longer text documents? Wasn't very encouraging.

Oh well. The vast majority of forum posts don't hit that limit so I just excluded the exceptionally long posts from the index. I never revisited it again.

Because the point of it decidedly isn't sinister? Having someone watching you and learning from you shouldn't be creepy, it should be exactly what people in a high-pressure job should be trying to foster.

Just because someone is watching you doesn't mean they're surveilling you. When I mentor coworkers by letting them watch me do a task, it's not chilling me or oppressing me.

People are downing you because you're making a rather absurd conflation between "they aren't working in total secrecy" and "now it's an oppressive police state"

Now I'm really pretty curious what was in those "internal" registers! I assume it's not just the descriptor cache?

EDIT: Based on the vcfed thread mentioned earlier[1], seems like it just might be temporary registers that microcode uses, so potentially not have any effect across instructions.

My understanding is happiness will revert to the baseline if you have a set loss such as going blind or losing a limb. But a degenerative illness implies continued increasing loss in which case you would not have a chance to get used to it and revert because things will just keep getting worse.

Washtenaw is certainly an affluent county, but not that rich. I live in another part of the county and used to work in Mauch's part of it; it's by no means mostly millionaires.

usual answer is devs love postgres for the feature set and ecosystem, sysadmins love mysql for the simplicity.

No. A free software CAD/CAM package has been desired for a long time, and no one has ever written something that competes with commercial packages except in token form.

To create a quality 3D CAD/CAM program takes more than just competence and interest in having a free product. It takes a small core of very talented people with expertise and experience in building complex software, surrounded by a legion of supporters. Kind of like the Linux kernel project.

It's a niche software product that requires significant technical expertise in programming, mathematics, and in UI design. It's nitpicking to debug.

The closest anyone has built is Blender, but that's still a far cry from being Fusion 360 or Solidworks.

GNU has had a CAD program on their wish list for as long as I can remember... going back to 1990 or before.

Unfortunately, the removal of local simulation is more of the same from Autodesk.

That's the kicker, it's lighter weight, but the "omni-heat" insulation* keeps me just as warm as a heavier down jacket, if not warmer. I even managed to work up a bit of a sweat while outdoors at 3am this past Feburary in my jacket.

Reader, meet exercise.
OP may indicates PS3's poor security drama.
Please lend your own time and energy to generate packages for bespoke distributions and package managers. You will need: deb, rpm, apk, AppImage, casks, tars, and likely more. Make sure to spend your time submitting your package to maintainers for each repository/registry for each distribution and each distro version. Don't forget to test each and every permutation!

Is all that too hard? No problem. Stand up your own repository for each distribution mechanism and instruct the user to run a bunch of random curl and key handling commands to bind their machine to this new software supply chain attack channel. At least this 'potentially malicious' code is being checksumed/gpg verified!

-- the point --

'curl | sh' is inherently no different from a trust perspective then issuing a package installation command or installing a new repository source for a package manager. Each user makes the value judgement if they trust the software or not. Your free to run the 'curl' part and inspect the script, or contribute packages to the byzantine linux/unix ecosystem if it boils your blood so hard.

Practicality is a feature sometimes.

Stallman's entire purpose is to sit at the extreme fringe and act as the canary against the Overton window moving.
Being right about a problem doesn't mean you're right about your proposed solutions. For the most part, his absolutism limited his ideas to lightly influencing the people trying in earnest to solve those problems rather than actually doing the leg work.* In my old job in academia, I called this "trickle-down public good." He wants to be a symbol for the good and true of free software, but is largely a symbol of ivory tower academic culture throwing shade at people who don't pretend we live in the star trek universe.

* Edit: the problems with software licensing which is the primary thing people know him for. See how many bios even mention his software development work, and then see how many fail to mention his free software zealotry. To even assume his development accomplishments are what people are talking about when discussing his public activities is strange even in a crowd of software developers. If he wrote that same exact software for IBM, or even if he had written it for GNU and not worn crazy outfits to software conventions, nobody would be talking about him 'at all.'
I agree with the Objective-S goals [1], and it is cool to see research in this direction.

Are the mechanisms for defining architectural styles and some predefined styles (OO call/return, pipes & filters, REST and event broadcast) all that is new from Objective-S? Any other future goals? These seem relatively easy to implement as e.g. Lisp macros? Clojure supports many of these.

Personally, I would like to see more research in program semantics. I think languages should try to reduce expressiveness whenever possible by offering mechanisms to do so, i.e. DSLs and DSL tools. Along with the total lack of popularity of design-by-contract / Hoare logic / refinement types, I think this is the biggest mistake in modern language design.

In other fields, engineers strive to use components and to combine them in ways that yield artifacts with provable properties. An elementary example of this are truss structures in mechanical engineering.

There is not that much research direction in this area. Personally, I like Dafny [2]. There is quite a lot of research on advanced type systems and theorem proving, but I think there is still a big gap in usability and automation. I think DSLs to restrict semantics + automated program analyses could be an excellent alternative. Infer [3] is pretty nice. Similar approaches that targeted a language with better semantics would be able to offer a lot more guarantees.

If you know what you want, text search is much faster than leafing through a list of items. It's what every touch-typist discovers in the first months with their newfound power, especially if they have decent software available—like Spotlight or Alfred.
The beta defence is so weird. They have a whole year from release to release. System Settings feels so buggy and poorly-designed, you have to wonder if development started five minutes before WWDC.

I hate to speak ill of developers' hard efforts, but I heavily dislike how much of this was left until the developer previews and public betas. Apple didn't need to wait until they made it available to us for at least one person to be able to see it was a pile of shit.

We should be providing feedback for polish, not having to complain about the fundamental design of the damn thing. If it's not ready, it shouldn't happen until the next release — or System Preferences should remain included.
