> That's fine, right up until the point you're running a command (or a series of commands) that change things on the machine and your connection gets broken. When that happens there's a very good chance the command being executed will fail in some fashion. If you're very lucky it won't be a big deal, but depending on what you're doing it could be dangerous.

I spent 5 years at Amazon (back a long time ago) being incredibly aggressive with command line root-trust from the old bastion host they had there, working up to regularly executing ssh commands to all 30,000 servers (like I said it was a long time ago, but that's still a considerable stack) every single day. It is the kind of idea that gives a lot of people the vapours to think about, and I wouldn't recommend it if you had good alternatives. But Amazon never turned into a smoking hole, and I never once saw this kind of problem. I certainly had to deal with network issues, and the scripts I used were pretty robust against problems. Most often servers would be crashed and fail to ping, packets would get lost but retransmissions would succeed, or the kernel would be hung only responding to interrupts and userspace was all deadlocked, but sometimes the servers had some resource starvation issues and it would just be very slow and the command would timeout. Nothing bad every happened. I occupy some weird space though where I'm stupid enough to try these kinds of things and just careful enough to not get bitten by them. I've also been a trained cave diver for over a decade now as well (if you get the training and follow the rules, it is safer than driving on the roads in Mexico).

And really you should always be using configuration management to change the state of servers and should have some kind of agent doing that automatically for you (although I've broken that rule probably a thousand times myself), and you should also ensure that what you're doing is 'idempotent', so that if it fails due to some transient error then you can just keep on hammering on the server and the next time or the time after that or whatever it will fix itself. This is the "self-healing" or "computer immunology" concept of configuration management that Mark Burgess came up with back in 1998 or so. If the process gets interrupted just run the process again. That may require some care taken around intermediate states and recovery from intermediate states, but that is just config management 101.
Was looking at the examples (link posted at another comment) and this addon seems like a good starting point for an accurate commit message.

Starting point. After that it should up to the committer to make modifications and upstream the message. For those cases, seems good enough for me.
Interestingly, the $1 salary (with large equity) gives you massive flexibility in how and when you get taxed, and also a lot of additional negotiating power and flexibility with ex-wives (and the Court) on child support and alimony, at least in California.
I'm fine with that. I'm not writing here to make myself look better, just to correct the record. Some pathological shit happens at US security consultancies; it's just (in the main) not the stuff this person is talking about.

Again: I have never worked with this person, despite their claims and implications to the contrary. Further, I went way out of my way not to be a people manager (and still do). Nobody reports to me; that's not a thing I'm good at, as I'm probably making evident.
> In these scenarios I think it's because the $2k watch or $70k car is too easily attained by lower classes that they are no longer considered signals by the upper classes.

Or it's about signaling that you're "in the know" with the in-group.

I read some list from (I believe) the 1800s that listed the different vocabulary used by aristocratic vs. middle class English people. It wasn't anything fancy (e.g. graveyard = aristocrat, cemetery = middle class). But as soon as that list was published and the middle class strivers knew to imitate those parts of the dialect, I'm sure the aristocrats quickly deprecated those signals.
The 457th "breakthrough" in fusion this year...
It doesn't directly contradict the paper you linked, but figured it's worth mentioning - the hypothesis about a diabetes-Alzheimer's link might have originally stemmed from fraudulent work. From the "related story" at the bottom of the linked Science article about fraud https://www.science.org/content/article/potential-fabricatio... (related story is titled "Research backing experimental Alzheimer’s drug was first target of suspicion", also available in their reader here:
https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/science.ade0181?ado...)

> The most influential Cassava-related paper appeared in The Journal of Clinical Investigation in 2012. The authors—including Wang; Arnold; David Bennett, who leads a brain-tissue bank at Rush University; and his Rush colleague, neuroscientist Zoe Arvanitakis—linked insulin resistance to Alzheimer’s and the formation of amyloid plaques. Cassava scientists say Simufilam lessens insulin resistance. They relied on a method in which dead brain tissue, frozen for a decade and then partially thawed and chopped, purportedly generates chemical signals.

> Schrag and others say it contradicts basic neurobiology. Schrag adds that he could find no evidence that other investigators have replicated that result. (None of the authors agreed to be interviewed for this article.)

> That paper supported the science behind Simufilam, Schrag says, “and spawned an entire field of research in Alzheimer’s, ‘diabetes of the brain.’” It has been cited more than 1500 times. Schrag sent the journal’s editor his analysis of more than 15 suspect images in two groups. The editor says the journal analyzed high-resolution versions of the images in the first group. It could not corroborate his findings and therefore did not investigate further.
I've personally never understood the business world's obsession with suits.

Like, what does a deal need to be signed in a suit? What does the suit contribute to the deal? If it's to convey "professionalism", surely a cheap $300 piece of attire shouldn't be a stronger signal than whatever due diligence the two parties have done already?
Because 20 years ago using Linux meant that I had to deal with configuring ALSA, NDISWrapper, GRUB, CUPS, etc. whereas last night it took me less than 15 minutes to install Mint on a late-model ultrabook and have everything working perfectly. It's a real phenomenon.

Some vendors are better than others at Linux support. I would suggest sticking to Lenovo or Dell if you'd like a smooth experience.
The Orion program, including the CEV from the Constellation program, started in 2006, 16 years ago, and has so far cost $26billion.

A man with a shovel can do in an hour what a moon-grade robot can do in a day, with some luck. (Two months on Mars.) Give the man a moon digger, a moon bulldozer and a mooncrete production facility (with mooncrete mixer trucks) and see what he can do then ;)
That's very helpful thanks.

Maybe I'm looking into this too much but when I take a couple of other replies and yours together in the same context my takeaway was when you want to hear about the gory details about something development related you'd listen to the show. To me that says from a technical standpoint the show is good but you're not listening to it to be entertained specifically. You may also not be listening to it while doing something else because if technical information is what you're after, you might be focusing fully on the show?

Even if my assessment of your specific case is wrong, it got me to think about a couple of new things such as "what type of mood are people in when they tune in?", "are folks listening to this for pure knowledge, entertainment or something else?", and "what might someone be doing while they're listening to the show?".
Heaven forfend research into an area beyond adtech, blockchain, or surveillance
The utility of home servers and server-like devices is limited by upstream bandwidth on asymmetric connections (virtually all home broadband except some fiber-based services). Not IP addressing.

Dynamic DNS has been around for decades and provides a solution if you really want to run a home server behind NAT. If someone wanted to market a home server box, they would just need to implement something like DDNS... and Plex basically does just that.

But most people have limited upstream bandwidth, such that it's impractical to serve much content from home, except maybe to yourself as a 'road warrior' via VPN, or video streams via Plex, stuff like that.

If home broadband was symmetric, even with NAT, we would see many more applications taking advantage of that upstream bandwidth.

Windows 10 'LTSC' sounds like what you want, I used it for some client projects.

The LTS release was meant for Kiosk and pseudo embedded applications but was pretty much a non hostil UX version of Windows 10. In comparison even Windows 10 Professional editions are very bloated.

I am not sure if they intend to have an analogue Windows 11 LTS but I suppose the need will probably be there for customers who are more Windows-centric.
You're right, all are good. But in my case Changelog is not only occasional. I think I might be listening to most of the episodes of all series/podcasts they do and every episode of "Ship It!" Is the must for me now!
> You see this A LOT in food spend in US especially in rich urban areas.

This won't resonate withh you unless you are or were ever a cook, I fear we had so much more left to capture and were forced to leave on the table that was taken away because of COVID, but this transition in the US food culture was paid with lots of hard work and countless sacrifices that most will never get beyond watching an episode of The Bear.

Two big blows came in hard after Bourdain's death (so many concepts and projects were abandoned that never came back) and then followed with COVID destroying the Industry in such a way that I'm doubting will ever get much further than this in my Lifetime any more: food culture in the US still has so much left to catch up with Asia and Europe but we were making massive progress towards that, but I'm staring to accept this will probably be the high-water mark that the next generation of tech workers and cooks alike will need to build off of. And no, ghost kitchens and burning VC money from Softbank on DD is not a solution.

So far, outside of small boutique restaurants and kitchens, all I've seen is a race to the bottom profit seeking with almost no motivation other than to capture what marketshare remains from corps who benefited from PPP and ZIRP at whatever cost it takes and cutting corners until they got bought out by a large Restaurant group. This may seem like hyperbole but ~60% of all restaurants shutdown forever [0] after covid in what was already I high-failure sector with incredibly costly CAPEX/OPEX business models and low profit margins even during the best of times.

My last encounter with a delivery driver from a large vendor (think Shamrock or Sysco type corp) brought it all home: they had essentially succumb to the same exploitative delivery and monitoring systems that an Amazon delivery driver has, which was a stark contrast to getting deliveries from local farmers for produce/protein ha were the highlight of the menu and accompanied with items from small artisans and purveyors for cheeses, deserts breads etc...

We've lost something very vital coming out of COVID, and I'm not sure what can be done to not undo the progress that was made since the culture-shift has swung so hard to this Amazonification of this Industry.
You are only making the author seem more correct. You have a system where citations act as cookies and endorse (administrators fault) but that is not the researchers intent.

> Whatever the explanation might be, the fact is that the academic system does not allocate citations to true claims. This is bad not only for the direct effect of basing further research on false results, but also because it distorts the incentives scientists face. If nobody cited weak studies, we wouldn't have so many of them. Rewarding impact without regard for the truth inevitably leads to disaster.

You also argue that high quality journals are good at filtering quality. The author presents evidence that this is specious.

You furthermore question whether the author worked in academia, which is answered.

Given your reading comprehension skills, I wonder if you are in the correct job.

Interesting. It's as if Congress, via the tax code, wants to (dis|en)courage certain types of consumption. This probably has to do with whoever has the most effective lobby.
Unless I'm missing something, you then have to write wrappers that translate between the big and the small interfaces, or explicitly mark all interfaces as implemented at the original type definition point.

The first one is a lot of boilerplate, the second one is not always possible.

Most people don't. They are reusing their windows 7 license from that one computer they got in 2010 or their windows 8 license they got for free in college.

Or they do not consider it "buying" it, as it was "free" with their computer.

They might reset it on updates once a year or something (it hasn't happened to me, but I heard others were not as fortunate) but you definitely can set it, right?
https://www.securityweek.com/eu-court-google-must-delete-ina... is a lot clearer, saying

“Google has to delete search results about people in Europe if they can prove that the information is clearly wrong, the European Union’s top court said Thursday.“

So, I guess, there need to be a way to ask for removal, and Google will either have to comply directly, or do a check themselves. Courts would only be involved if Google disagreed about the “clearly wrong” judgment.

And IANAL, but I would think satire is not “clearly wrong”.

It's possible that blue class workers got those blues real bad. I asked their women for comment, but they said they woke up this mornin', upped, and left 'em. The only ones I could catch up with were very old ones from the Missisippi Delta region, who admitted to feeling like a broke down engine...

Just a guess, but I'd reckon that computer science/software engineering went past the point where one person could know all of the important stuff around the time that Donald Knuth started writing TAoCP... and even then it took a Donald Knuth to do anything remotely approaching an exhaustive treatment of the field.

It's okay to not be Donald Knuth.
Tis good advice, but in most cases I'd question my own code first and
then be confused by general complexity - is it the threading library,
or the API, or the database? Rarely do we get a chance to pare back to
an isolated behaviour. Also there's a voice that says "surely someone
much smarter than me already knows about this".
I think some people just don’t even bother to resolve an issue. Maybe it’s not even broken but just reflexively assumed to be broken if something isn’t immediately as they expect it to work. My parents both use Linux daily and rarely ever need me to provide any support. Ubuntu or Debian has worked out of the box on every machine I’ve touched over the last 10 years. Avoiding nvidia graphics is probably the secret to success though, and may be the issue responsible for many people who have a much more negative view of Linux “just working”

Not only do they not care, they don't know I exist. That doesn't mean I have to tolerate their behavior.

Their empire crumbles anyway, that's why they're doing this to Windows, because they know the future is (sadly) on the web, and the OS is less relevant than the browser now, and more replaceable than it was 20 years ago.

> If you have an engine of economic growth you don’t deliberately hobble it

Why not? NYCs economy is already plenty large. It’s not clear to me that adding thousands of extra hypergrowth startups to the mix does anything to actually improve the city. Just more transplant office workers, many who don’t really like NYC, and don’t really gain much from living in the cultural center of the US.

Yeah I 100% dislike having these random things littering up the main directory. It's so ugly, from the command line & from github.

I personally might go with 'config' or some such, versus .config. I dont think they should be hidden files, personally... we only hide them because we put them in such a bloody inconvenient & highly visible spot.
I don’t see anything on how Guy Steele would be behind Go.

And Java is not a badly designed language at all, it did make several tradeoffs at places for various reasons, but it had a clear design goal and I think it did live up to it.
What I have always been told for writing good commit messages is that the message should tell you what the commit does when applied to the code. The place for these what/why messages would appear to be in a ticketing system of some kind, referenced by ID in the commit message.

What you're asking for would result in extremely bloated messages.
You're comparing rocket engines designed to operate in a vacuum to electric vehicles designed to operate on the ground. Rocket engines need a lot more fuel to generate that amount of power.
I was using plain Ubuntu around 2020. Upgraded from an ancient GeForce to a pretty standard AMD graphics card and it totally wrecked my installation. While debugging in the command line, my screen was constantly flickering. Headache inducing. Then while trying to reinstall Ubuntu, I accidentally messed up my windows installation. It took a weekend to get everything back to normal, and it just wasn't worth it at all.

They could deal with emergencies better. Even with the Miracle on the Hudson scenario, automation could have quickly calculated gliding distance, nearby airports with acceptable runway length. Landing on the runway was possible but it required quicker action.

It's ridiculous that pilots are still expected to attempt to calculate glide distance and airport in their head, and they almost always get it wrong.

Many private planes with modern avionics now have an auto-level button on the AP that very reliably recovers from a dive or other unusual attitudes. Airlines typically don't and it's clear that the simple (and very easy to program) button could have saved many lives.
On the other hand, some of the drift away just shows we're all people. I'm listening podcasts on 1.5-1.7x speed and digressions are all good to me. Keep up the awesome work you do, guys! Real fan of yours!
I was walking down the street a couple years ago, in my peripheral vision I noticed the gait of someone walking across the street traveling the other direction, instant recall of that former coworkers name from 10 years previous. It would have taken longer to recognize them visually if they were standing still. Still amazes me, years later.
> In places like Spain or France people do not admire you for having money, on the contrary they envy you

Or maybe not. You mileage may vary.

This would depend a lot on how do you earned it.
Depends on the context. When I was a SV biglaw associate, I wore slacks and button down, generally without coat (only for meetings). On 'casual Friday' I wore polo, typically with jeans. Basically, SV law firms are always 'business casual' unless you're going to court or a deposition. And on casual Fridays, it's even less formal.

I assume tech companies are more casual than big law firms, and that things may have gotten more casual in the decade since I left the law.

yes, bytecode interpreter. Martin Richards' BCPL[0] generates bytecode (but maybe there's an optional native codegen that gets bootstrapped that way?). Niklaus Wirth's Mini[1] Pascal was load-and-go in the sense that it would JIT a rudimentary bytecode into memory and then interpret that.

PDP-8 I was just guessing at trying to figure out what you meant, not realising we were talking about different implementations. (thinking you might have meant ISAs were simpler back then — IIRC PDP-8 ISA is not very different from the very small bytecode Wirth's mini Pascal interpreted [edit 2: cf infra], but PDP-7 ISA, while simpler than modern ones, is in my eyes only quantitatively and not qualitatively so)

In any case, the biggest transformation is from a tree-structured AST down to a linear (associative) sequence of data and ops, and if one has learned how to do that for an interpreted bytecode, it's plug-and-chug to do the same for a native ISA.

Edit: [1] sorry, got my names confused. Wirth's is PL/0. See bottom of page at http://pascal.hansotten.com/niklaus-wirth/pl0/

also, I just realised the confusion with the other concept of virtual machine in terms of guest supervisor levels. I was using the virtual machine which was virtual in the sense that it is program, not machine, interpreted and hence usually designed to be an easy target.

Edit 2: eg the PL/0 virtual machine ops:

lit 0,a : load constant a
opr 0,a : execute operation a
lod l,a : load varible l,a
sto l,a : store varible l,a
cal l,a : call procedure a at level l
int 0,a : increment t-register by a
jmp 0,a : jump to a
jpc 0,a : jump conditional to a
