Which is a real shame, since MacOS has been imitating Unix since the beginning of time. And nowadays it doesn't even do that well, seeing how you can't run most containers without a second kernel running in a sidecar VM.

It's true what they say, there is no good operating system under the sun.
Huh? Missing Link?

I always thought that digital signage displays were essential TV screens optimised for always-on, maybe with an integrated (network) media player. At least that's the case for an old LG digital signage display I happen to have upstairs (got it essentially for free due to aged backlight, was used in a pharmacy). But maybe that's just outdated info on my end ;)
We have this kind of censorship in India as well, even the in weirdly innocous places. In James Bond movies, and I think Gone Girl as well, scenes were by zooming into character's faces or just straight cuts.

This is probably the only reason I maintain a US iTunes accounts (used to have to buy gift cards from sketchy sites online to keep this going, but I recently discovered that my Indian Amex card works fine with a US address).

Also trivia for those who are wondering how cuts are made, at least for cinema content: all video and audio assets are usually sent to theatres in full, but there's an XML file called the CPL (composition playlist) that specifies which file is played from which to which frame / timestamp in what sequence. Pure cuts or audio censorship can be handled by just adding an entry to skip the relevant frames or timestamp, or by specifying a censor beep as the audio track for a particular time range.

For small-scale transformer CPU inference you can use, e.g., Fabrice Bellard's https://bellard.org/libnc/

Similarly, for small-scale convolutional CPU inference, where you only need to do maybe 20 ResNet-50 (batch size 1) per second per CPU (cloud CPUs cost $0.015 per hour) you can use inference engines designed for this purpose, e.g., https://NN-512.com

You can expect about 2x the performance of TensorFlow or PyTorch.
No, it's not ridiculous at all.

US programming is highly censored.

30 Rock had to pull episodes because of a gag where a 'completely insensitive dupish character' wore black makeup, to sing as a black person. It wasn't a problem in 2010 but all of a sudden it is in 2020. NBC will not be releasing the original.

A ton of jokes and gags are self censored for a variety of reasons. Eddie Murphy's early specials would absolutely not be aired today for example and I suggest they may face some shelving at some point.

Cultural standards differ.

Now - obviously, there are political elements of censorship, and being in possession of 'banned materials' may be punishable etc. - and that form of censorship is 'not comparable'. But the cultural standards issue is.
I'm not sure what you mean by "it" but nothing in that page precludes languages with runtimes from writing system software. I'd say Go can definitely claim to be a systems language.
I think they're often helpful for reading, but I admire what Scala did in Scala 3 to eliminate their necessity.

This is pseudoscience at large. This article itself cites ~60 other articles on the same subject. Unbelievable.

If any of what they claim about "grounding" was true, the doctors would notice it a long time ago and they would be wiring patients to ground potential for decades already.

This article is likely a deliberate attempt to trick and confuse people who are prone to believe almost any misinformation. Such people might believe that Covid vaccines contain chips or that Trump won the 2020 election or that there were no Moon landings or that the Earth is flat or that Putin is actually entitled to attack "nazis" in Ukraine.

Unfortunately, the same people are prone to believe all these lies. And, also unfortunately, they are unlikely to believe any sane information which disproves them.

It is in my opinion a dangerous state. Consider that there is a massive group of people who are completely brainwashed by these misinformation campaigns. They are easily manipulated by those who spread misinformation because in their eyes those people are the only ones who have an opinion that is compatible with their understanding of the world. Even when it is completely nuts, against any logic and against any science.
Feels good to hear, that you feel a bit the same. I just thinks we both don't have this reputation for Reddit algorithm or maybe mods boost some posts of people they already knew. I am not sure how Reddit works in that way and I am always using chronological sorting on explicit subreddits, so I do not miss any posts. But it seems like a lot of people are more like the frontpage users and our posts just don't show up that much.
Could you elaborate on "maintain" please?
I think the key point in this article, which I really enjoyed reading, is the difference between expectations vs. reality.

The truth is that our educational system at its highest levels - private schools through university and then most universities - makes students believe that anything is possible for them. That knowledge itself will be rewarded with monetary and societal returns. It's just not true.

Most people end up making great sacrifice either financially, socially (think moving away at 18), or both, and achieve an outcome that could've easily been replicated without that amount of effort.

It took me a while to accept that I did this, but once I did it made me feel better.
ACH is a legacy system that can be easily abused for sure - what's saving it is the fact that it's not real-time like it's newer counsin RTP. It also helps that withdrawing money via ACH requires an account and payment processor willing to clear ACH for you and shoulder some of the responsibilty.

Yes, you can copy the numbers and make a fake checks to cash, but security features on the check helps with validation and most Check Cashing places don't cash big checks - mainly because they take on the liabity if the check bounces. It's also the reason why most bank requires you to have an account with them to cash a check depending on the amount.

So in summary, it's relatively "secure" due to validation & delay clearing the check. Scammers know this very well - that's why they resort to overpaying invoices/items with fake checks only to demand refund from the unsuspecting mules - who end up holding-the-bag once they send out the refund, only for the check to bounce.

Another similar legacy system that is easily and more abused is checks via mail - it's easier to cash a REAL check with a fake ID compared to a fake check for reasons I mentioned above. Why some companies still insist on paying or being payued via a check is beyond me!!

Stolen checks is a bigger issue compared to ACH - in fact it's a federal offence to steal mail, post office even have Postal Police to deal with the issue.
Regulated Election Markets
The time has finally come. After nearly a year of engagement with the CFTC (federal regulator) to enable Kalshi to list election markets on our exchange, the CFTC just announced that it is seeking public comment on our market for a 30-day review period before it will make a determination.

The election markets are the holy grail and this is a critical step towards our mission of expanding access to the utility of the derivative markets from Wall Street to Main Street. I just shared our public statement in response to the CFTC in a tweet, I'd really appreciate if you would tweet or retweet it, so we can build public awareness of election markets and their purpose. I'd also appreciate you submitting a comment with specific examples of how you would use the contract to hedge your economic exposure. https://twitter.com/mansourtarek_/status/1564315602184978435...

Thank you!!
The toothpaste analogy really points out quite insidious thought schemes.

I catch myself thinking about this when I see a pineapple or some meat at the supermarket about to expire.

Surely it would be a good deed to buy that item - otherwise it would go to waste entirely, even if it is plain overconsumption on my part.

But then the supermarket's metrics will show they sold all their stock and will order the same amount again next time - so in the end the overconsumption feeds itself.

I'm really glad that a lot of supermarkets around here (in Switzerland) put products on the edge of (legally speaking) hitting their expiry date on sale and then on apps like Too Good To Go (where you can pick up an assortment of food that would otherwise get thrown out for a low price).

I do hope that internally, the analytics are accurate enough to capture the actual margin on each product to reduce the amount of stock ordered ahead of time.
There’s no direct canon confirmation, but it seems quite plausible that it was, in fact, the Bynars who provided the technological leaps necessary for the Enterprise computer to generate Moriarty and other proto-sentient characters. Riker and Picard both comment on the realism and perception of Minuet, created by the Bynars on the holodeck after their upgrades.

And there is a direct canon line from Moriarty through to the EMH and later sentient holograms via Lt. Barclay.
For me devops was never a great idea. Ideally you want one team to decide on the architecture. You do need front line ops, ideally they'd take some ownership and write some scripts, but the buck stops with one team for inhouse systems that is usually developers.
Skeuomorphism is awesome, and I'm absolutely making chunky, clickable buttons in a site design I'm working on.
>without even following it through and testing it to begin with

You do realize that many companies will prosecute people just "following through and testing it", right?

Though the person you did say it to very likely has an international warrant out for them anyway for pissing off the DoD, so I guess it's all water under the bridge.
aprtments.com had to do the paperwork to establish ability to initiate ACH (most likely, they hired some third-party to make the actual ACH for them). That's where it gets checked. If the provider screws up, and passes bad ACH, they'd likely to lose substantial money, and maybe the whole business if they get cut off. So the provider will likely verify what apartments.com is a legit business with legit people behind it, and will eagerly cooperate with law enforcement if anything shady happens. In turn, aparments.com probably has some protocol to verify the numbers you put in actually yours. Because if they screw up on this, they are left holding the bag for the stolen money and likely lose access to ACH themselves, which would hurt their business.
Those "generations of laborers" had the option to earn more for less (and less dangerous) work most of the time. It doesn't seem this will be the case now.
It’s also an existential risk for many business customers.

If you already spent months training a new hire on how to get something working with all the different random tools and software they use, changing something meaningful means breaking that persons ability to do what they need to do for their job, at least for some time.

Even changing something inconsequential will confuse some users for a bit, require making/updating new training guides, etc.

If it’s a business on the edge or under during a stressful period? That can literally tip it over and make it non functional. That is especially true for small businesses.
The notable trend after DevOps was Kubernetes since 2020, and the notable trend for the frontend was the generalization of NPM-based programming, from React to Typescript, which enabled larger teams and more stable UIs, at the cost of 1GB of JS in the browser.

But they don’t seem as earth-shattering as missing the Agile boat.

Greenland ice loss will raise sea levels by nearly one foot by 2100
This is the best answer here so far (and also a reasonably good explanation of why, at least in my opinion, crypto is still completely non-viable as a real medium of exchange).

The key is that there is a process for reconciliation. It IS NOT ENOUGH to simply have a ledger - you also need a mechanism for enforcing that the ledger matches reality. And reality is complicated, filled with reasonable disputes over terms and deals (in the best case) and outright fraud and theft (in the worst case).

A given party may be able to temporarily pull money from you with two numbers, but the process around reconciliation makes it so that you, the customer, are protected from the actions of the mediary (because at the end of the day, they're selling this service, and are responsible for their actions in relation to providing credit). This incentivizes those institutions to be careful, protect their reputation, and avoid taking on obvious risks.

Essentially - the system is structured in a way where incentives align to prevent abuse. And entry into the playing field is expensive and limited enough that institutional reputation matters.
> that hardware is entirely unavailable for content critical of the military.

It's not directly available. As in, you can't film on a US naval vessel or on a US military base without their support. Stock footage or footage from public spaces are allowed. You may also be able to get the support of another country or make use of mothballed or otherwise decommissioned systems if you have the right connections and money.

I have some 381 posts (including landing pages, etc). It takes maybe 45 minutes to build (there is no cache process). I have a faster version that skips audio processing, but it still takes minutes.

The problem is that it does several pandoc parses for each page:

1. Plain text - Input for audio parsing (which takes a significant amount of time, I have a version of the build that skips this).

2. Simple HTML - Input for RSS feed.

3. Full HTML - Static web page.

One change I would make to pandoc is to have the option for several outputs (as was discussed years ago [1]). I think generating multiple outputs is highly common usage.

One feature I will get around to writing (eventually) is automatic image compression. I had some success using jpegoptim and optipng on another project. This takes a while, so I want to build a command line tool that caches the output of a command if both the input file(s) and command do not change, and invalidate based on time. That way I could blindly do something like:

image="cat-pic.png"
cache-run -i $image -c "optipng -dir out/ -o 4 -strip all -fix $image"

(You might want to experiment with different optimization values based on resolution, etc).

Feature/UX changes should be behind feature flags, and launched independently of a release. Releasing often let's us identify and fix bugs quickly. I hear you that as users we appreciate more stable UI, but to get to an intuitive UI, you have to experiment and iterate.

While there is value in discrete and planned releases, we value responding to change more.
ACH is overnight. Any 2-3 day thing is the bank doing risk management. There's a presumption of success, and if there's an issue, you'll get a return.

There's no 'pending' state on ACH. It's done in one shot, in as little as 94 characters.
Yes, you did admit that there were no eyewitnesses. You stated:

>Other scholars date the NT books from between 70 and 90 AD.

Jesus lived to be 35 years old. Even if you take the most supportive version of this statement, the earliest NT book was written over 35 years after Jesus' supposed death and there's no evidence to support the idea that they were written between those dates. Even the Wikipedia link that you sent says that there's no evidence for it:

>The New Oxford Annotated Bible states, "Scholars generally agree that the Gospels were written forty to sixty years after the death of Jesus. They thus do not present eyewitness or contemporary accounts of Jesus's life and teaching."
Thanks for that - bookmarked! Shows there is still a chance ;)
Are you comparing based on the base price, or the "discounted" price? (I ask because Thinkpads seem to almost always have a 20 - 50% off sale - right now I believe it's 50% off).
> We ended up spending the majority of our time … fielding support requests from the development teams

This has been my experience at 3 different small-medium companies now. A too small DevOps team suddenly is in the critical path for even the most trivial software task, then engineering productivity grinds to a halt. I think a much better pattern would be to enable dev teams to self serve. Set up the required infrastructure and guard rails, then let teams handle their own deployments and infrastructure. Give people what they need to do it themselves instead of having to open a support ticket for everything.

The labeling is awkward, that's what I intended to highlight. "Non-normative relationships" or "non-procreative relationships" would have been a great alternative.

>There are plenty of cultures (even in the US!) that would lump together queerness and incest and forms of sexual transgression.

And it's a not so great thing to do when the goal is safety and acceptance of the queer community.

>The author was raised in another culture and I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt here.

I'm not ascribing any kind of malice or ill intent, just trying to highlight a (to some cultures, important!) distinction that was not made.
There is no UX that is the best for everyone, there are always trade offs that hurt some or help others.

Just because there are other products with different experiences that skin it doesn’t mean the core product is bad!

It actually means the opposite - the core product has such value and there are so many users, it actually is able to support sizable enough communities of people ‘outside the core’ to justify niche repackagings for them!

That sounds paranoid, I hope you don't mind. Reasoning in that way, almost all movies in the world wold be a "soft projection" and Nation State attack. But sometimes it's just jokes or reality and a good movie ... or would have been.
Yes, I should not have said a "development team", as it makes a distinction between "people who create new software" and "people who run that software in production environment". Your definition is better.

I remember watching a standup comedy show by either Eddie Murphy or Richard Pryor a long time ago that was heavily censored. There were so many bleeps in the program that you could barely follow it. It was similar to the recent heavily-redacted FBI affidavit that was released and where every other sentence seems to be blacked out.
The site says:

> Sidekick vs Lightrun Why Choose Sidekick

Which implies the following bullet points are thing that sidekick has and Lightrun doesn't. Number 3 and 4 correspond to:

* Comprehensive language coverage (NodeJS, Java, Python)

All supported by Lightrun

* Enterprise features such as SSO, Workspace management, and more

Not sure what workspace management means but Lightrun supports a wide range of enterprise features and is deployed in Fortune 100 and major security conscious enterprises.
My intuition is that there are probably a bunch of O(NNN) complexity algorithms in typesetting for things like ligatures, and that's where the time goes... but I haven't written a shaping engine.
> It seems that in many places, "DevOps" is all Ops and no Dev.

This was definitely my experience at my last couple of jobs. At my last one they "scaled out their DevOps team" by hiring tons of juniors with next to no software development background. And then they "empowered" teams by assigning the juniors to each dev group. As a result, we ended up having to train them how to do their core jobs, which... went about as well as you'd think.

Eventually, there was an attempt to shift everyone to kubernetes. They had a special "DevOps" team build a layer on top of it to handle the non-kubernetes aspects of deployment as well, and somehow manage them together using Helm. If you're wondering "what the hell does that mean", well, it turned out nobody really knew. These "DevOps" engineers didn't really seem to understand kubernetes core concepts, and just ended up hacking away with some scripts on top of terraform delivered via Helm until something got configured. It was incredibly slow to deliver, hard to use, and I just stayed away from it until some exec threw down the mandates. (And then everyone started quitting because it was an absolute disaster.)

Ultimately, these are really stories about bad management, not really anything to do with DevOps. But that's how these things roll - some new hot concept comes to town, and bad managers try to adopt the term, without really understanding it.
Gay characters in cartoons is the first thing that comes to my mind. Such as censorship of gay couples in Sailor Moon in the 90s (including altering one to be a pair of cousins). More recently, the creator of the disney cartoon Gravity Falls had resistance from executives over their inclusion when making the show.

Another is censorship of LGBT books in certain states.
lovely idea
