If this is now only helping CI and not dev machines I don't see why it's worth the effort. Wouldn't it be much simpler and more reliable to just sandbox compilation of anything in your CI?

I skim dependencies on GitHub for obvious red flags and then trust them. I assume places with the resources to do actual in-depth review can disable advanced analysis in their IDEs for that.

blowing up the norstrom, decoupling russia from gas, maintaining USD hegemony, selling natural gas for 5x the price, forcing EU to join them in war, forcing EU to sanction China...

remember the EUR was envisioned when the gold standard was dropped by USD because the Europeans knew the USD would become the defacto global standard which is bad for their economy.

EU is a beautiful concept. Unfortunately they are unable to make their own independent decision and will always be a gutless spineless laptop to American military industrial complex.

Only this time taking on Russia and China at same time is going to be a bigger bite than they can chew. EU is already getting closer to China and US doesnt like this one bit.

I mostly agree. Happily, that's also what people will want as long as human participation is necessary. We'd generally prefer to write rather than correct an AI's writing, and prefer to drive rather than carefully watch an AI drive.

I learned it from the Connections episode "Eat, Drink, and Be Merry", at
https://archive.org/details/ConnectionsByJamesBurke/Connecti...

That segment starts at 16:57 (after development of the Swiss pike, changes in military tactics, mass mobilization in France, leading to the need to feed large mobile armies.)

This being Burke, it's not until 20:40 that it gets to setting up the competition and Appert.

At 24:10 is the transition to talking about tin cans. After discussing a machine to make paper, at 26:06 it leads into the chain of events that resulted in (at 27:49) that French book being translated into English, patented in England, and started (at 28:17) making preserved canned foods - because they were better at metal than bottles.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_and_tin_cans says the idea was conceived by Philippe de Girard, who got the British merchant Peter Durand to patent the idea in 1810.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can_opener adds "the first can openers were not patented until 1855 in England and 1858 in the United States."
I keep a second key as backup for this reason, which honestly is overkill and I only do because I got a second one for free at a conference. Easier solution (which I also use in case I someday need the second one only to discover that the blue smoke leaked out) is to just print out the TOTP secrets and keep them somewhere. I'm usually printing out recovery codes when I get a new TOTP secret so this has never felt like a big deal.

Also easy enough to maintain a keepass[xc] vault for totp secrets, you could keep a separate one from your passwords if you were feeling paranoid. Great support on mobile and desktop for using a keepass db as a TOTP source - and easy to sync with dropbox/email/ssh/your web server/whatever

I'm sure the bot overcomplicated an otherwise simple task, but I think there's always gonna be some creative error if we rely on things like that. It's funny though because these results are plausible for what a real person might come up with as informal nicknames for their friends.

> The reduced demands for goods then filters through the system producing more layoffs and more reduced demands for goods across every sector and the economy contracts into a recession.

Yes, but prices are not demand, they are supply and demand. What if you shut down the parts of the economy that make food and gas?

For example, how do fed interest rates shut down the parts of Saudi's economy that makes oil?

Anyway, in your explanation, you do not use the words "food" or "gas" which is how the "CPI" is calculated.

The fundamental problem is that `UID`s in IMAP kinda suck because assigning persistent, unique IDs to emails in a store is a hard problem because doing that for mbox- or maildir-like stores is hard because those predated any notion of remote email access protocols.

Thus in practice IMAP servers generally assign `UID`s ephemerally per-session, which means that clients can't rely on the stability of `UID`s, which means that clients have to re-obtain `UID`s before operating on emails via IMAP even if they have cached those emails locally. `UIDVALIDITY` exists to help clients cache and invalidate `UID`s. The RFC has text about this.

A bridge from IMAP to something else (which is basically what every IMAP server ever is) needs to deal with this. To make `UID`s stable requires keeping state.

Clients should really not assume stable `UID`s. Instead clients should `SEARCH` or list to get [temporarily] valid `UID`s then use those to delete etc.
Cellular phones used to sound good back when they were FM and not packetized, as well.
That article went round the Edinburgh mailing list when it was published, and Phil Wadler, who got monads into Haskell, replied saying something like "I didn't know this. Does anyone have the proof?"

It's interesting to me that you think the opposite of "pro-productivity"--which I define as people who are constantly engaging in life hacks to increase their perceived "productivity", and thus treat productivity as some kind of end unto itself--is "anti-productivity".

Could we agree that the healthy thing lies somewhere in the middle?
The difference between C++ today, and what we had 20 years ago is not much. C++ has functionality built in today, we didn't have, but the OS provided, and now the language has many features we wished we had years ago.

Example: Variadic templates. When that happened, the problems we would bang our head against the wall with magically vanished. Twenty years ago, every implementation of the std library had serious bugs in it. It was avoided. Not the case today. I remember a std::map iterators not working. Watcom's C++ had serious flaws with it, but many exciting products were still created with it.

We didn't complain. We were happy, and worked around our problems.

I think the root of peoples issue with C++ is with template meta programming portions of it, which you can completely ignore, and grow into.

And it definitely seems like every 20 year old has an incredibly fulfilling and well rounded life if you only look at Instagram.

Indeed. They can't. Which is why Linux can't drive that stuff.

Yes, in my production code, the real work is implemented by functions. Class method is just a proxy to the external world only.
I'm both with you and understanding the other side.

Decades of watching Star Trek have filled me with the urge to be able to say "Home, prepare for away team departure." or something less eye-roll worthy for my girlfriend, to do as the GP says and close curtains, turn off lights, set heat lower, etc as I leave.

But, as you point out, the state of security for IoT devices, the specter of surveillance and monitoring, all that keeps me from committing to such sheer nerdery.
I agree.. I've been writing in Rust for about 2 months and I find it to be a much easier surface than C++.. getting over the borrow checker isn't as bad as some make it out to be.. in fact, if it compiles it largely works.. you might be cloning one too many strings as a newbie, but you get the hang of it quickly.. when I wrote a lot of C++, I used a really small feature set.. but that was like 20 years ago.. now (apparently) it's a lot better.. with Rust, you need to think about memory, stack, and heap, but it's not ridiculous. The type system is really great. Granted, I'm not writing a database, but so far, I see a lot of really good libraries that integrate really easily, and it's just fun to use. The functional features and futures feel a lot like scala... and it's fast.
Packj sandbox [1] offers "safe installation" of PyPI/NPM/Rubygems packages.

1. https://github.com/ossillate-inc/packj/blob/main/packj/sandb...

It DOES NOT require a VM/Container; uses strace. It shows you a preview of file system changes that installation will make and can also block arbitrary network communication during installation (uses an allow-list).

Disclaimer: I've been building Packj for over a year now.

I did read the article. One of the incidents was about their webhook worker(s) being swamped -- plus had errors due to deleted DB workloads that were necessary for the event to be processed. So I'd count that one as a slow endpoint attributed to Ruby on Rails (and it's famous for that).

And even if zero of their incidents alluded to performance problems with Rails I still worked a lot with it and I know for a fact that it's a factor.

Your snark doesn't change reality but you are free to pretend otherwise, fine with me.

> Also have you considered that if you had weekly outage when billion dollars companies continued to stick with Rails, maybe you were the problem?

Indeed, a programmer not having executive powers to influence change of deployment tech and server (was Puma at the time) is indeed me being a problem, surely. Especially after he made a study demonstrating the problems and calculated how much programmer time is wasted on these matters every week and he still got ignored. Perhaps I am the problem indeed!

Anything beats the hundreds of incompatible classical inheritance models rammed on top of proptypes.

Today, functional has won so completely that devs don’t even notice. Using classes is almost entirely antipattern. Factories with object literals and Claire’s reign supreme. Everyone prefers map, filter, reduce, etc over manual looping. Const and copying as a default immutability is preferred to mutation. Nobody thinks twice about higher order functions everywhere.
You are conflating the statistical meaning of bias with a social meaning of bias.

A statistically unbiased model would be (for example) in which it has the same false positive rate at identifying humans from image data, for varying races, or a model that is equally likely to underpredict as overpredict tomorrow's gas price. These are not nonsense ideas, in fact, they are often good ideas. There are cases, however, where we may want a model to be statistically biased, for example, if the detriment of underpredicting tomorrow's gas price is worse than that of overpredicting it. If the gas price is lower than I expected, maybe it's not so bad that I didn't buy it today.

We (well, some of us) also don't want socially/politically biased models. Examples of those are very devious: redlining, for example, prevented black Americans from equal access to housing, historically, and has caused multiple generations of wealth disparity as a result.

You are using really loose and sloppy language in your talking about ML; you should be using "trained" and not "biased" because bias has a technical meaning that seems to evade you.
Huh? We do not know what is up there. That’s the whole point of exploration. We don’t even fully know what our planet has.

The world is and will always be a mess. That’s the nature of human being, we have different ideas, priorities, mindset. We can’t stop progress in an area just to fix some other areas. Besides, it is baffling that space is always singled out when it comes to fixing earth’s issues. Why not says, divert all resources of the video gaming industry to fixing climate; stopping all sporting competition, especially professional ones, for the same goal? That’s of course straw man and unrealistic argument, but space skeptics repeat the same argument on every single space discussion.
> No it doesn't suck money out, but it reduces the rate at which new money is created through borrowing.

This is true. It does not tell me how the money created through borrowing between 0.75% rates and 4.00% rates was used to buy food and gas though.

That borrowed money was overwhelming actually used to buy equities, which the fed is obviously impacting very effectively, and not food and gas, even indirectly.
I have to disagree. The blue check mark does not verify who you are. It verified your political ideology matched up with that of the blue check mark committee. Half the US population is already being held hostage by that group.

There’s a difference between lots of different factors having an impact and one giant one forcing everything to be at the same time.

With the former you’d expect a normal distribution (not uniform) due to the central limit theorem - the sum of a large number of variables with some error distribution will result in a sum with a normal distribution. This isn’t math 101 but an incontrovertible fundamental finding of Calculus (and 100% applies to the real world).

The article explains the latter phenomenon though. Births are being scheduled due to C-sections. This isn’t a confluence of some interesting factors into a surprising result but the presence of one factor that overrides all others and one that has grown in popularity due to the efficacy of modern techniques.
>Tesla had better service and comparable quality to almost any vehicle on the road today.

Initially, Consumer Reports seemed to really like Tesla. But much more recently, they have not generally rated Tesla comparable to other cars. They only have one model (the Model 3) that even scored average.

One of their issues is that they like to move fast in their designs. Changing sensors, suppliers, components etc. means it's really hard to nail reliability and quality. As the saying goes...move fast and, well...break things.

Well, no - they’re almost entirely opposed. To “fail upward” inherently requires one to have succeeded - if only on terms the writer thinks are lacking merit!

It’s totally legitimate for you to think that Musk is the target of unfair criticism, particularly around the influence he’s had on his businesses’ obvious successes. But you don’t have to build a straw man to make this argument. Virtually nobody would describe Musk as a failure - but they will argue frequently that he’s an arrogant narcissist, or that his success is unjustified. There’s plenty of criticism like that out there—justified and not—and it’s weird to make stuff up to get all “lol u mad bro” about.
