> Microsoft don't promote the history of Excel-pre-Microsoft that much either.

That’s probably because no such history exists, Excel was always a Microsoft product (even if they aren’t the inventors of spreadsheets).
I had the same issue with an USB Ethernet adapter plugged into a powered USB hub, disconnecting the computer would make the network crap out. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a docked setup with wired Ethernet if one can't undock it or needs to unplug tons of cables each time.

In 1987, I was a student intern at NASA Langley in a group that researched parallel computing. They had a dialect of C called Concurrent C that ran on a very specialized platform, the Encore Multimax, which IIRC had 16 Motorola 68000 CPUs. The language had special constructs for threading, synchronization, and message passing, which had to be supported by specialized bus protocols in hardware.

The point being, when K&R was written, threading was highly experimental, and it remained so for at least the next decade.
We aren’t talking about an investigation. We’re talking about an FBI agent intentionally hiding and destroying evidence. Exculpatory evidence.
Cryptographic agility means to support multiple cryptographic primitives and to not be overly coupled to a single primitive.

WireGuard is a great example of a product with cryptographic agility. https://www.wireguard.com/protocol

Cryptographic agility says nothing about "version the whole protocol".
I don't think this has changed in the past 30 years has it?
How did AB5, a law specific to California, cause a global supply chain shortage? Wouldn’t it be more reasonable to say that COVID was the ultimate cause?

If you’re referring to the LA and nearby ports being clogged, my understanding is that there was a massive rise in demand as restrictions (from COVID) were lifted, and they happened to coincide with the holiday season. Workers (and truckers), also at that time, realized they deserve better working conditions and decided to stop working, leading to an inability to move containers. That’s not AB5’s fault.
This is exactly the type of comment OP is referring to. Have you build a steaming service at this scale? Do you actually know what’s involved? Or are you just looking at the surface level, making a bunch of assumptions and reaching a gut feel conclusion?
While this is certainly disheartening to hear, if there's anything we should have learned from the Depp/Heard case, it's that we should never take any accusations at face value unless there's evidence to be found. So far, none of the accusations against him have resulted in any convictions or anything more than hearsay.

I'm not saying he's truly innocent, but I am saying he's innocent until proven guilty, which is how we're supposed to treat accusations of any kind.
Why not ask them directly? What gives, and what’s the best way to work with them in the future when you need a timely response?
How can a startup be useless if it's reached unicorn status?
It’s not below market rates, it’s at market rates. If the fire sale price of a $300k outstanding loan is $100k and must be offered to the debtor first then any bank should be salivating at the prospect of offering the buyer a $100k loan to cover it and you just turned a risky $300k loan into a way less risky $100k loan.

I guess whatever removable media is available at the time.

SD cards and USB sticks are definitely still around, but dwindling in numbers due to wireless replacements and seamless transfer systems like 'cloud-backup' and hyper-link sharing.

regrettably they're not usually as aesthetic or CDs/MDs/hard-drive platters.

A PCB that is populated with a lot of flash is pretty high-tech looking, though.

Is there some other international sanctions beyond economic? Keep strangling an island nation, restrict imports, and expect them to not react?

If a person believes "my body my right" and is fired from a federal job for refusing to take an emergency use authorization shot, is that also ok because it only harms the person economically?
If i remember correctly the main way shazam makes money is by seeling statistics to the record companies and concert planer. If they would break it, they would loose these informations in certain areas of the world where iphones are not that common.
That's because the majority of iPhone users are consumers.

The majority of Mac users are producers, creating content for the iPhone users. If they kill Mac then their iPhone cash cow will dwindle as they will no longer have content.
Well nonalcoholic beer does exist, but I assume you aren't talking about that.

I personally find libraries incredibly relaxing, but I assume what you mean by "it's not the same" in that a library doesn't serve highly rewarding GABAergic drugs.

People enjoy drinking alcohol because it is rewarding and most have learned to like the taste through the association of that neurological reward. That's generally what enjoyment is, association of reward with an activity. There are many other activities and compounds that are just as rewarding or relaxing but society is conditioned to accept alcohol as the default it seems, at least in some communities.

As for your last point, that is absolutely not true from my experience. Whenever I discuss the risk of cancer that's associated with alcohol consumption the other person generally has no idea, that has been over 90% of my conversations on the topic.

> The sooner Apple rebuilds Xcode from the ground up for the iPad, the quicker we can get rid of the Mac with its decades of legacy baggage.

There is still a market of billions of dollars for those people who need a general purpose machine and not a walled garden.

Even if you are right and the mac will be no more, there will be people doing general purpose computing on Linux and Raspberry pis. Those people will be willing to pay for a better experience.
There's also overlap between a stab wound and a heart attack. You may say there's a cardiac related problem, but you don't have a stab wound just because you have some of the overlapping symptoms.

Neglect can cause a host of behavioral and neurological issues but they're not autism. Medical literature consensus is pretty clear on this. It was a popular theory many decades ago. It's not held up to scrutiny.
I really do not understand the Rust-esque love of the "mutable" keyword in rebellion of "const". They are most often attached to variables. The definition of the word variable is "subject to variation or changes". By definition, variables change. Constants do not change. I understand that the semantics here are historical, but it's very much like "Automated ATM Machine". Maybe I just don't like the word mutable, and would prefer "var" or "varying".
>I don't know how else to say it. When the car is in motion, driving the car should be your sole focus. Do you disagree?

I don't. But adjusting the AC is normal for most cars, I've also driven thousands of miles across the US in a much newer car and had to adjust the AC depending on the weather. I've also had to adjust the playback or volume of audio because it was distracting (i.e. songs with sirens or car sounds in them, sudden change in radio station volume, etc).

Either A) The car should not have any of these options at all.

Or B) Those options should be adjustable by the driver without taking their eyes off the road.

There is no scenario in which it is both safe to have those options and those options require the use of a non-tactile interface. Your perfect ideal of never interfacing with the non-driving portions of the car is not something that could every possibly apply universally.
Always when Ted Nelson shows up, this point is made one way or the other. I even once heard Vint Cerf make these points at a conference.

1. Xanadu being vaporware
2. His ego

What I really don't get is what Ted Nelson does to trigger this anger in people.

E.g., his book computer lib/dream machines inspired so many, and I find him super self-aware. His appearance in Werner Herzog’s movie about the internet was (IMHO) so refreshing.

I love Ted's work, and it's a huge inspiration to me in my daily work. This video just adds to that.
this use of greek letters for marketing memorability seems "tone-deaf" to me, in other words, lacking any respect for modern greek
They are literally forced to do unpaid labor. There are also prison jobs that do pay, but extremely low amounts and those are generally optional. Prisons do also offer volunteer work, it being voluntary makes it not slavery.

Incarceration on the other hand is a different topic altogether and I think the US system is incredibly harmful and creates an environment that produces recidivism. The Nordic system of rehabilitation is far better.
1. That depends on how difficult the problem is. For some problems, you're better off with a specialist.

2. Do you want a whole car designed by someone who designed the hubcaps of a Ford Model, and the driver's side door handle for an Audi, and a dash switch for Toyota, and on through 10 other random parts? Or do you want someone who has been part of a team that designed a whole car before, from start to finish?
They aren't saying tempering shouldn't have consequences. The person who did the tampering can still be punished. They are saying that, on top of that, having the other party have all charges removed in adding a bad incentive for certain people to want to tamper with evidence.

This has nothing to do with slippery slopes.
First request is empty filter, server will push everything mentioned in HTML. For subsequent requests browser will fill filter with known hashes, server will push changed resources (and false positives).
Depending on what network gear you're using (I'm now switching to Omada, previously/still on some site son UniFi, but lots of even 'prosumer' stuff does this) there are specific mitigations available. All of this falls under the heading of "managing broadcast traffic", which is very important even for smaller networks. The three major categories of traffic on a network are unicast, broadcast, and multicast. Unicast is the normal case of one device talking to a single address. Broadcast involves sending a packet to every single possible recipient in the entire broadcast domain (almost always the subnet). ARP fits in here. Multicast is essentially in between, more efficient then broadcast, can still talk to multiple devices that have signed up to hear it.

Obviously an actual broadcast storm can take down an entire network, but excessive broadcast traffic on WiFi specifically can also suck up a huge amount of airtime for little bandwidth. Every single device has to go to the slowest speed and stop what they're doing to listen and make sure no one is left out. Using STP/RSTP with proper values set and LACP for aggregated interfaces can help prevent inadvertent network loops. Many switches also support some kind of port isolation and explicit per port storm control restricting max numbers of packets/second for unicast/broadcast/multicast traffic. WiFi APs can use proxy ARP to cut it in their domain too. The WAP already of course knows the MACs of every device connected to it by definition, so there isn't generally any reason not to have it answer ARP requests on their behalf then forward the traffic itself.
Just like a few centuries ago you couldn't study the origins of religious texts. What we are seeing is a cult of genitals and skin color raising rapidly, and just like then, discussing any of its dogmas or its priests is heresy.
Probably it's because of the word "hacked". I mostly saw it used in meaning the [human] activity of designing an approach, rather than executing code. Computers do not hack. (Unless we speack of AI, maybe)
Different people/teams have ownership of different areas. They decide their responsiveness based on the their responsibilities and the agreements they have with the people that rely on them to fulfill those responsibilities. We are careful to try to avoid sending false signals of urgency as if something is on fire when it could just flow smoothly into the team's normal workflow.
Two years of experience may not get you really knowing what you're doing, but you should know significantly more than someone with zero years...

> In the US, South Bend Indiana to Chicago is only about 90 miles, but is scheduled for an hour, and has a 1 hour difference. Driving is far faster.

That's an interesting route. There is a direct Interstate connection, direct flight connections, and a direct passenger rail connection.

Driving is the fastest option, except when there is traffic and there is frequently traffic. 2.5 hours is not an unusual amount of time for the drive. Also, it feels like the interstate between the two cities is in a permanent state of construction.

The train is around 2-2.5 hours (and strangely the train station in South Bend is in the airport terminal), but there is currently construction along a lot of the route that when finished will shave 10-15 minutes off the time. There are more future improvements planned that will also reduce the time.
I've been researching triatomines and am learning a bit, most of which is not pleasant. I now realize I've seen and even photographed some species. They are in the US, certainly Florida, Texas and many other states. According to an edu source, it's estimated that only 1% of infections in the US are diagnosed or otherwise accounted for.

There's definitely ample credible evidence that the risk is significant and your concerns valid.

I thank you for reminding me of this insect and the protozoa it carries. Credible sources claim it too will be posing problems, increasingly. Current policy, unfortunately, isn't considering it yet. The rising presence of the problem coupled with the tendency for initially asymptomatic infections but often inevitable demise of the host should be taken seriously.

As a Jew, I'm a fan of Shabbat, but it bothers me when some Jews take this to absurdity. I read an article about elevators in certain buildings running all day without button presses because pressing the button is considered labor, or leaving their stove on all day to avoid turning the knob. These violate the spirit of the law by following the letter of the law.
I didn't read through much of this so I may be misguided here, but how is this any different than trying to get cellphones banned because underage children may send pictures of themselves?

If these people aren't actually doing anything but talking in these groups there's no issue here. It's distasteful and FB SHOULD probably boot them off the platform, but this feels like its a far cry from the pornhub broujaja where they were hosting illegal porn and not taking it down.
Yes, it can scale. The ideal way to do it is to queue all the updates sent to their server and process them by spinning up extra VMs right when they are about to get the burst of traffic (easier to do since they themselves determine what that time is). That way they don't have to pay for resources to sit idle the rest of the day, and a slight delay (say, a few seconds) before the photos actually post and are visible to everyone is acceptable.
> the rope gantry system reminds me of the Kralyn3d Positron.

I still had a spool of high stiffness line that I bought back when people were experimenting with that! It was one of the early delta printer variants, like the Kossel or similar that I first saw that working. It took a little while to prototype the spool winding system but in the end it works really nicely! Its just so light and cheap, I love it.

I should throw the STL files up. It was a big rush to get the project finished and I had a lot of other stuff to focus on. And I do want to encourage people to dig in to the design and make forks with their changes. But it does work pretty well as is, so STLs would be helpful. I also accept pull requests! I am super busy and pleasure projects like this are so hard to fully document.

I appreciate the kind words!

I see now that I misunderstood what you were speaking of by “under-the-hood”. I was thinking about the developer-facing parts of the Push API, but you actually meant the bit in the browser’s control, opaque to the developer. I retract my quibble.
A Micron 9300 Pro is getting rather long in the tooth. They are using PCIe gen 4 drives that are twice as fast as the Micron 9300.

My own testing on single socket systems that look rather similar to the ones they are using suggests it is much easier to push many 100 Gbit interfaces to their maximum throughput without caching. If your working set fits in cache, that may be different. If you have a legit need for sixteen 14 TiB (15.36 TB) drives, you won't be able to fit that amount of RAM into the system. (Edit: I saw a response saying they do use the cache for the most popular content. They seem to explicitly choose what goes into cache, not allowing a bunch of random stuff to keep knocking the most important content out of cache. That makes perfect sense and is not inconsistent with my assertion that hoping a half TiB cache will do the right thing with 224 TiB of content.)

TLS is probably also to keep the cable company from snooping on the Netflix traffic, which would allow the cable company to more effectively market rival products and services. If there's a vulnerability in the decoders of encrypted media formats, putting the content in TLS prevents a MITM from exploiting that.

From the slides, you will see that they started working with Mellanox on this in 2016 and got the first capable hardware in 2020, with iterations since then. Maybe they see value in the engineering relationship to get the HW acceleration that they value into the hardware components they buy.

Disclaimer: I work for NVIDIA who bought Mellanox a while back. I have no inside knowledge of the NVIDIA/Netflix relationship.
Perfomance/watt is a poor comparison.

One thing I appreciate about this talk is that it emphasizes "the shell is not a general purpose language, it's a special purpose language for running commands".

I see a lot of people complaining about shell and wanting to replace all shell uses with other languages like python or ruby. Yet when you try to do that, you often end up with long sequences of code that shell can do in a few much clearer lines. Invoking a command is trivial in shell, that is what it is optimized to do.

Shell is good for some things, and terrible for others... just like any other programming language.
That's an explanation, not a justification. But yeah.

This is one of the best news I have read in a while! It's so nice to see people having a change of mind, using their profiteering skills to help others in need and, lastly, to see something useful coming out of "Blockupy", which I always had hope to have more impact on society.
Type hints and static typing are completely orthogonal. It is merely more common for the designers of dynamically typed languages to make the mistake of not allowing type hints pretty much every where and requiring them in a library's API (or at least linting for them being missing in the API) than making the same mistake is for the designers of staically typed languages.
There's huge amounts of work that can only be done on desktop or on laptops, and not on smartphones, simply because of form factor. Unless we're imagining a future where people plug their phones and tablets into monitor-keyboard setups and type away, all the time.

I don’t think this is quite right. If the interest rates are low enough, even the most financially savvy people will take this deal. For example, I have a friend who can easily afford to pay cash on a $1 million house, but he has a 30 year mortgage. Why? Because his mortgage rate is 2.5%. He can take his money and put it into Stocks or other investments and get a much better return than 2.5%. If he were truly risk-averse, he can even put the money in long term treasuries and make more than 2.5. At low enough rates, it always pays to have a loan. It’s (almost) free money.

Edit: at current interest rates this advice makes less sense, but even so, it could pay in some situations. For example maybe your mortgage is 4.5% but your student loans are 7.5%. Take the mortgage and pay down those loans. Obviously too much debt is bad, but not all debt.
