Well you were pretty lucky then. I've had pain for weeks after a surgical extraction that was hardly touched by 800mg ibuprofen. It depends a lot on how well it heals, IIRC. And other considerations like whether incisions were required.
I guess, but LSP has been a huge boon to every single code editor that isn't already developed by a for-profit company.

"Hybrid-source" has already existed in pretty much every plugin ecosystem for a closed-source product ever (e.g. JetBrains, Sublime Text, Google Chrome, et multa alia) other than the Microsoft Office suite (where people sell proprietary plugins for $50).

> close down all the good parts of the IDE and open-source the bare minimum client-side functionality.

This is still a material improvement over closing down all the good parts of the IDE and not open-sourcing the bare minimum client-side functionality!

The hardest part by far is the "bare minimum", turning the NxM problem into an N+M problem. That was always the original selling point of LSP.

And language servers (even and including the source-available ones developed by Microsoft) tend to be a lot more than "bare minimum" anyway. So Pylance (whatever that actually is) is closed-source, but Pyright and Debugpy are excellent tools and are open-source.

Yes, Microsoft has made a good strategic maneuver here. Their obvious ploy is to garner general goodwill, launder their well-deserved filthy reputation, and establish themselves as the go-to company for software developer tooling, which will hopefully translate into juicy enterprise sales as well as lots of telemetry and platform lock-in for later value extraction, not to mention free bugtesting & developer contributions from the public.

But let's not make the perfect the enemy of the good. Don't forget that they are investing heavily in something that benefits the entire ecosystem. By open-sourcing the most important core elements, they have left the door open for people to fork and redistribute their software if and when they try to go for an EEE maneuver.

The only thing that makes me a little squeamish about LSP is that the protocol itself is controlled by Microsoft and I guess also Sourcegraph. But even then, the community can easily tell Microsoft to go fuck themselves if they try to pull off something like what Google is doing with its Manifest v3.

See I am not a concept artist I am an Art/Creative Director… if I tell a machine what to do or a person doesn’t change my job. Even if it goes away it’s fine I’ll do something else. Crazy I know.

Most people don't know what "cookies" means either. We shouldn't make the problem worse by giving them false information.
In an ironic way, yes. People who quietly OD in their house die while junkies are quickly noticed by their street pals and revived (and would often fight the paramedic for breaking their high.)

Years ago I worked for a software startup that was acquired by HP. At some point after our acquisition, we had presentations from various directors. I'll never forget the presentation from someone in the printer division. He was gloating about printer ink sales, how the printer division was a cash machine, and then he made this arm-pumping motion as he verbalized the sound effect of a cash register drawer opening: "cha-ching." It was gross. Nothing from him about technology, or the HP way, or making the best printers, or solving customer problems. Just "how can we wring more cash out of people?"

I didn't stay at HP very long. It was during the Mark Hurd era and it was a company being run by backstabbing sociopaths.
Wow. That was a 5 hr rabbit hole I was not expecting to fall down.
You bet they'd get attacked if they ever stopped using a proxy.
This is the answer. Blocking the APIs is just asking for a broken internet, and I have very little sympathy.

Furthermore, blocking the API is a detectable characteristic and increases the surface area of your fingerprint. It has exactly the opposite of the intended effect on privacy.
I worked for google and never seen anyone with a title of architect or anyone who’d only do designs without getting their hands dirty. You must be looking at “cloud solutions architects” or whatever support-like roles
Two times in the past we decided to terminate content from our security services because we found it reprehensible. In 2017, we terminated the neo-Nazi troll site The Daily Stormer. And in 2019, we terminated the conspiracy theory forum 8chan.

In a deeply troubling response, after both terminations we saw a dramatic increase in authoritarian regimes attempting to have us terminate security services for human rights organizations — often citing the language from our own justification back to us.

Since those decisions, we have had significant discussions with policy makers worldwide. From those discussions we concluded that the power to terminate security services for the sites was not a power Cloudflare should hold. Not because the content of those sites wasn't abhorrent — it was — but because security services most closely resemble Internet utilities.

Just as the telephone company doesn't terminate your line if you say awful, racist, bigoted things, we have concluded in consultation with politicians, policy makers, and experts that turning off security services because we think what you publish is despicable is the wrong policy. To be clear, just because we did it in a limited set of cases before doesn’t mean we were right when we did. Or that we will ever do it again.

I take this to mean they now think they shouldn't have terminated the Daily Stormer or 8chan, and won't be terminating Kiwi Farms.
By that logic, a google image search + sharing results you like is also art. But it really isn't. At best it's curation.
If you use my copyrighted code to train your brain and reproduce exact copies of functions I wrote, I have a problem with that. Same for art. Exact copying is the copyright problem.

If you use my copyrighted (public) code to train your brain, and then produce new functions that do new things, there is no problem.

Replace "brain" with "AI" and you get my position on this (and a lot of others' positions). It seems to be a lot easier to transform art than code.
I am amazed at how cloudflare has turned around and become a reputable, reliable company re: arbitrary breaches of contract based on the CEO's personal opinions. After he breached contract with the Daily Stormer because of "a bad mood" I was sure it'd just devolve into a no-holds barred censorship-fest.

Instead he's managing to hold the line against all of the authoritarians and individuals wanting to rip each other down. I never thought I'd say this, but, well done cloudflare.

Some of these could be tested among college students or high-school students. Let students form groups and participate in a tournament. Make the task complex enough that the tournament requires sustained work (e.g., 12 weeks). Then randomly assign coding practices to the participating groups and evaluate:

> Do doctest-style tests (i.e., tests embedded directly in the code being tested) have any impact long-term usability or maintainability compared to putting tests in separate files?

> Has anyone analyzed videos of coding clubs for children or teens to see if girls are treated differently than boys by instructors and by their peers?

> Has anyone ever studied students from the first year to the final year of their program to see what tools they actually start using when. In particular, when (if ever) do they start to use more advanced features of their IDE (e.g., “rename variable in scope”)?
I know they considered “keyed” hooks, but that api is a lot more verbose since you need to key _every_ hook you use, and hooks internally need to create a sub-hook context / namespace to avoid collisions which either needs to be managed manually _or_ means you can’t use plain functions as hooks (there would be some createHook function you’d run instead).

> Some argue that we should terminate these services to content we find reprehensible so that others can launch attacks to knock it offline. That is the equivalent argument in the physical world that the fire department shouldn't respond to fires in the homes of people who do not possess sufficient moral character.

> For instance, when a site that opposed LGBTQ+ rights signed up for a paid version of DDoS mitigation service we worked with our Proudflare employee resource group to identify an organization that supported LGBTQ+ rights and donate 100 percent of the fees for our services to them. We don't and won't talk about these efforts publicly because we don't do them for marketing purposes; we do them because they are aligned with what we believe is morally correct.

These are the two strongest points for me. The former is one I already believed, and the latter makes me more hopeful as someone in that specific minority community.

In addition, I think it's touched on but Cloudflare is huge. Even if they changed their mind on terminating amoral customers, how would that go down? Another automated moderation system that checks for certain keywords? Ask the LGBTQ people banned from Facebook/Twitter/Reddit/Google/etc. if those systems really work all that well. All too often person A implying that X group deserves violence skirts the system, while the actual text calling out Person A's beliefs from an advocate is considered hate.
> I wonder how things like ASP .NET will run with Native AOT in the future.

Let me give an example of an ASP.NET app lifecycle: an instance is launched, goes through startup code once. When it reports itself healthy, it is put into the Load balancer and then starts handling requests. Code in these paths is executed anywhere from occasionally to 1000s of times per second. After around 24 hours of this, it is shut down and restarted automatically.

So, compiler micro-optimising startup code to take ms off of it, is not interesting at all - it's only run once a day. Startup can take whole seconds, it makes little difference, the instance is ready when it's done. AOT in general isn't that important, but automatic tiered compilation based on usage data is very nice.
Like with so many SaaS, CloudFlare has perhaps become too many digital eggs in one digital basket, so inevitably it will result in disappointment and bad decisions ala Twitter, GoDaddy etc.

Some businesses really can benefit from a good or memorable domain name.

It seems like you didn't understand my point

> took that image from the online shop

They didn't take the image. They looked at it and learned a few datapoints from it. It's not like they compressed the image and added it into the model, able to be reversed by anyone who downloads it. In fact it's likely there's other completely distinct images that could have contributed the exact same tweaks to the model, like a hash.

>I can enter a bookshop and look around, open a book, read some pages and maybe learn something.

>It doesn't give me the right to republish a similar book putting together what I saw, unless the license specifically grants me that right or I obtained a license that does.

No, but the analogy would be if you learned something from the blurb you read - like a word, or a factoid, or an expression - and it influenced some writing you did later. You didn't steal from that book's author.
I see that in real life at the moment, the part about the badly run start-up. With some experience, it is easy to spot the mistakes. Most employees are too young / unexperienced so realize it. Heck, half of the middle management is still at their first jobs out of university. And man, it shows. Nowhere near FAANG in terms or organisation or best practices.

Great place to learn a thing or two, if you have the necessary background and experience.
I think this is pretty common with a lot of legacy code bases in popular languages. Lots of big systems on Java 8, Python 2, we wont talk about JS. :)
> Think about it this way. If a particular Turing machine halts, that’s a finitary fact: you can prove it by exhibiting a finite sequence of valid states for the Turing machine which ends in a halt. But if it doesn’t halt, that’s an infinitary statement: it doesn’t halt after N steps, for any N.

Machines that halt can always be proved to halt, as you say just by exhibiting them running to halting. (In principle at least; in practice this can be quite difficult.)

Machines that don't halt fall into two groups: those that can be proved not to halt and those that cannot be proved not to halt. Provably non-halting machines are not rare or strange. For example, a machine can wind up getting stuck in one state that just moves off to the edge of the tape forever. If this happens, it's obvious that the machine will never halt, and that's provable.

Sometimes non-haltingness has an infinitary character, but not always.
Indeed. Plus these sites invariably come back online, it doesn't make a difference anyway. I just checked - The Daily Stormer and 8Chan are online today.
You simply can't fix systemic health issues with a pill, shot or a multivitamin. obesity correlates with higher covid mortality and this article mentions quite clearly that alaskan life expectancy decreased despite succesfull vaccinations. Worse yet, obesity seems to be increasing rather than decreasing so whatever any politician, healthcare service or advocacy group has done the past 20 years, the USA is still not closer to a solution to the lowering life expectancy. Covid might be over but there will always be a next crisis.
Upon a third reading, I'm not interpreting it to be that too. What the fuck?
The best toaster was made in the 50's.
Makes sense and is expected based on how things function in America right now.

Opioid prescriptions and abuse
Increased traffic deaths + road rage incidents (https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/early-estimates-first-quarter-2022)
Deaths of despair + suicides (Many sources and discussions about this)
Lack of access to basic health care (lack of access to abortion will contribute here soon)
Obesity and fast food (self-explanatory)
Alcoholism from being bored during the pandemic (https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2022/01/covid-related-drinking-linked-to-rise-in-liver-disease/)
(edit) and of course COVID-19 related deaths and illness

I mean there are just so many factors going against us, and either neglect or disagreement on how to solve these problems. On the left you have people who are suggesting that being obese is ok (it's not, it's a health problem, doesn't mean you need to be ashamed or be insulted though) and on the right, well, that speaks for itself.

Similar to global warming, though, the solutions for these problems are technocratic and unlikely to generate any sort of broad public support or acknowledgement in the sense that people vote for candidates based in something like advocating for decreasing traffic fatalities. So long as partisans continue to bicker and worship ridiculous ideological positions we won't have any pragmatic solutions or attempts to mitigate these problems because the technocrats can't function in an environment where ideological purity and populism are the currency instead of facts and solutions.

None of these will cause a downfall of America or anything, we're just going to be a bit more, eh, chaotic?
Serverless hosting (ie. AWS Lambda) makes ASP.NET a primary use case for AOT because cold startup times cripple performance and increase cost.

Your judgement is clouded by ideology. Libraries are being shut down for carrying the "wrong" kind of books. Teachers are being run out of the profession. Politicians are being threatened by gun shots near their home.

Ostensibly, the "cancel culture" that people are concerned about (nearly entirely focused on the already wealthy and powerful, who oddly are not silenced when dominating the airwaves about their supposed cancelling) is nothing compared to the real danger that threatens real average folks in our own communities.

I think you'd find that many of the people you perceive to be on the opposite side of you are concerned with the same issues that you are, and no, they do not think it's cool and normal.
Sure, and the restrictions in place should prevent a lot of that data from being collected in the first place. For instance, as a school, we provision google accounts for kids under 13, but unless we manually go in and override it, it essentially disallows our kids from using YouTube. My point was only that out in the wild, the vast, vast, vast majority of parents simply just go ahead and do that.
But you don't need a backdoor. Log incoming and outgoing traffic from a VPS and you'll have all the information you need to deanonymize you.

This is something that they will probably do as a policy, simply because "AWS used for torrenting, storing and seeding CP" is a headline that can do far more damage to their business than some logging ever will.
I use it on my laptop because it is stable and because I want my desktop and laptop to have the same environment as much as possible. Lots of others do the same as well. More and more people are moving from desktops to laptops so supporting them is an important consideration, This issue was important enough that it was addressed as part of the "How is Debian Doing" post earlier this year.

How is adding the firmware for the common chips to the installation media 'wasting their limited, mostly community funded resources' ? The packages are already there in the non-free branch they just need to add it to the installation packages. Plus a lot of testing and sanity checks but it is not like they need to recode the entire system which is what you seem to be making it out to be.

The firmware packages are stable and work great. All this is doing is including them in the initial setup itself rather than asking folks to download and install manually.
Finally, I always though NGEN was a bad compromise and full AOT should have been supported since .NET 1.0, specially given Delphi's influence.

As someone writing a .NET-based API hosted on AWS Lambda, I assure you, startup time matters a ton. I spent a bunch of time getting cold start time down to a semi-reasonable number, but there's still a ton of room for improvement. I for one am very much looking forward to progress on AOT Native.

8chan users radicalize each other and encourage each other to commit mass shootings. KiwiFarms users post the personal information of people and encourage each other to harass them to the point of suicide. I don't see how they aren't comparable.
Using ASP.NET with AWS Lambda or any other FAAS is a concrete scenerio. Startup time for that is critical.

Allow websites to store data on your computer

Some websites need to store data for some features, or to work it all. Storing data can also enable them to track you.

And I'd be inclined to blame the state of the web in general.

I have been reliably informed by someone who has spent too much time building up credit on private torrent sites that downloading torrents is often slow through NordVPN.

Also, NordVPN does not support incoming connections to a listening port, so commonly can't download from two thirds of the seeds on a torrent. It is not unusual for there to be one to five seeders on a torrent, none with a port open for incoming connections, so people behind many commercial VPN's can't download the torrent.

There are other VPNs that support incoming connections, such as Mullvad, which are much more effective for torrents, if the users makes the effort to configure it.
