This is very cool sleuthing. Really enjoyed the walkthrough.

Though, if you would have asked me, I would have guessed Lancaster/Palmdale, because I know (a) That's where the unveiling was (b) I have seen B-1's fly over me while driving in Palmdale and (c) I know Edwards and a bunch of other spacey stuff is there. I feel like Captain Kirk looking for whales and saying "I think we'll find what we're looking for at the Cetacean Institute in Sausalito" - a far less methodical or impressive approach.
The Easiest 1:10/100M Ever with Dan Smith the Effortless Swimming Podcast
I (used to) work in academic IT and I hate articles like this.

People would assume there is a serious problem, turn off a bunch of services, run a bunch of random-ass shell scripts, and then forget that they'd done all that and at some random point in the future discover that some feature wasn't working, and blame me.
It's fundamentally "pay to win" - money spent matters more than skill or mechanical mastery. Since it has a PvP mode, this means that if you're not whaling you're just krill for the whales to kill.
Clients will usually request their previous IP in the request, and servers will often prefer to give clients their previous IP even if they don't request it. It's also pretty common that the client still has a valid lease (as far as the server is concerned), which it makes sense for the server to reissue.

You can go back even further. If you had a BBC Micro, you could buy a Teletext unit to attach to it and download software over Teletext via system called "Prestel": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq53DO7zL_g

I have vague memories of my dad managing to "hack" this system and get software for free as he worked out they used a simple XOR cipher on the BASIC source code sent over the air and most programs started with "10"!
I suppose I'm thinking more about data science / engineering oriented things, since that's what I tend to use Python for.
When I used to live in Massachusetts I found it boggling how many people had never lived anywhere else. Southern California, where I now live, I think actually has a narrow transplant majority.

Cython takes python-ish code and compiles it to C for use as CPython C extensions. This compiles directly to machine code without the need for CPython, as far as I can tell.
It's ok to admit you're wrong; you know that, right? You don't have to dig further down or move the goalposts when it's clearly shown you didn't actually read the article or understand the vulnerability in question.
I find Smartsheet to be a superior platform.
I feel like the entire thread should have led off with "This is in fact a publicly known hangar in Palmdale and this was known as public information as soon as the unveiling event occurred, and thus this is just an exercise to show how locating the spot could have been possible from just this photo as a technical demonstration."

Because I guarantee there are going to be a hundred clickbait articles by various 'news' sites now in the next few days about the MASSIVE SECURITY BREACH of the USAF and how US SECRETS have been EXPOSED so and and so forth. When nothing about this is actually the case.
don't scare people :) it's not a criminal offense if you forget your purse or buy the wrong ticket. It's a criminal offense if you enter the public transit knowing that you don't have a ticket and willing to break the law. That said, the increased fee is usually 60€ and criminal charges are usually only pressed for routine offenders and those not paying their fines.

That said, I fully support Buschmann's initiative. Best minister of justice since a really long time.
Beats me, but it's safe to say that you sure do like changing the subject a lot.
I can confirm that it is 100% not the case on iOS. There is not a way to report these things on the CarPlay app at all, and only very occasionally will there be a "speed trap" alert on Google Maps.
> nice modern trains running half empty

Anecdotally, reserving a ticket (with a seat) on IC/Es on the same day as you travel has been quite hard for me unless you splurge on 1st class or travel at unusual times. I do travel on quite a busy route however.
Chinese activists stage hunger strike outside Apple's California headquarters

Wait what?!? You get an audible "police ahead" alert? I'll have to review my settings if that's correct.
I think their point is that the selection is much better if you're willing to pay for 5-6 subscriptions. In it's heyday Netflix didn't have everything, but it had more than any current service has and for $12/mo
eh it's fine. sure, technically speaking you're giving your machine over to whoever wrote that script. they could do anything! but actually, the script is usually useful and safe. Like this one.
Couldn't have said it better.

That script will be hanging around on people's laptops for years, if not decades (for people that migrate their macOS installations to new machines) at the end of the long tail.
Wow, it's cool to see astrometry.net get put to use! I worked on astrometry.net back in undergrad and grad school. If you have questions about how it works, I can answer them.

How does it work? astrometry.net uses 4-star combinations to define codes, then indexes the codes on the celestial sphere. The particulars of each of these phases matter, but that's the basic idea.
If AI and robots are going to be our progeny then what do we need kids for? 


I raised three kids. They're now starting to think about having kids of their own. I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. But I don't judge anybody who doesn't have kids, I know many couples my age who don't. Which tells you this isn't a recent trend because I'm not exactly a young man!

We shouldn't be forcing people to have kids. The world needs fewer people, not more, and if people are naturally selecting themselves out of the gene pool and not being forced by government to do so then I guess so much the better.

It really is a Brave New World!
123movies has every piece of content you would want. Go ahead and google for it.
As I've said before, it's a language processor, not a magic box. I'm extremely skeptical of claims that we'll see radical improvements in the near future, I've seen no basis for that.

It can do some really cool things for sure, but it can't do work of any real complexity. Try to make it do your actual work, not a toy problem. The best I've gotten is a basic starting point, variations on common templates.
Brittney Griner Is Flying Home After Prisoner Swap with Russia
All else equal I would love to live by all my family and friends, but the fact is that my skills are not as useful there as they are where I live now, so I wouldn't be able to provide as much value to the world if I still lived there.
That's what I gathered. Since D3D9On12 compatibility is supposed to be complete and supported by Microsoft themselves, and DXVK compatibility is hit or miss but much higher performance, they're whitelisting popular titles that they can validate for DXVK on Windows. It's the right approach.

There's zero sense in writing a DX9 driver today. Not with the performance you can get out of DXVK. Most of the remaining popular games on DX9 will be moved to native Vulkan or DX12 at a point regardless.
Exif data is the metadata of the image.
I seemed to never care until they took my sysvinit away (or maybe any decent init system :D). Then they took resolv.conf control away. Then when I shutdown my computer, some random process takes 1 min 30 seconds to shutdown when it probably doesn't need to. Then I read on hacker news recently that Fedora uses a systemd daemon for handling OOM and the writer said it was terribly misconfigured particularly when it shutdown his X session and all processes related to it when an OOM condition happened. I am not a Linux admin (or at least a sophisticated one so I can look smart with systemd), but now they are taking cron away too? :D

I kid about this, in a way, and I know I should accept the inevitable, but I feel like just moving to Devuan on my laptop and use a nice init system, like OpenRC :D
I feel like those strong ties are more likely to be fetters than supports but who am I to tell other people what they're feeling, I suppose.

Interesting that the correlation between all of these "top X" lists is pretty weak...
Yes but with cycling, the point of the e-sport is to not travel. If you have to travel with your bike to a physical location, there is no point in cycling on a static smart trainer, you might as well race on the road (which is much more fun anyway). It's no longer an e-sport.
This is precisely my take, as well. I got burnt by Angular Dart and the Dart VM, so I'm extremely reluctant to try out Flutter. I've only got so much time on this earth and I don't want to keep investing it in Google's abandonware.
In addition to the comment above, this mindset is strengthened by time squeezes in development. Which lead to sales, project managers and product owners who prevent developers from actually looking into this.
We have become an increasingly urbanized country. Lots and lots of people in massive metro areas—think of the hypersprawl around Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, LA…

Living 10 miles away from where you grew up around Chicago can put you in a total different socioeconomic level of suburb.
Likewise with gaming. Back in the days of dial up you had to put effort into playing multiplayer. Everyone had to plan a full day of packing their computer up, bringing it over to someone’s house, setting up and then trying to get the networking to work because switches with auto DHCP were still expensive in those days.

When you finally got that game of AOE2, or Starcraft or Quake to work, it was like magic seeing you and your friends playing in the same game.

Much easier to play with friends (or randoms) now, but not as satisfying if I dont have to figure out what my IP should be and manually putting it in my network settings.
Isn't that answer technically incorrect as well? A more precise answer would be that tuples can store key-value pairs, but even then I think that part of the answer is unnecessarily narrow.
I did mention this later in the thread - was just a fun experiment to see if locating it was possible if we didn't know
Apple confirms that it has stopped plans to roll out CSAM detection system
CSAM was a big issue when announced. Let's see if it's going to be a notable development when plans for it are stopped.
One of the more baffling anecdotes I’ve read in a while. The response to a very general comment about where most people end up is “opioid statistics” and then just the usual bravado. The response to such a malappropriate reply is so obvious (for most of 60% of young adults this opioid thing is not what they are signing themselves up for, so where is the relevance?) that it feels tedious to state it as a question.
You just don't seem to understand what it means to self-custody.
I find this DIY yellow drum machine robot from 14 years ago much more impressive.

This was in the context of async, where bind meant awaiting (or not, can't recall). The outcome was unpredictable async behaviour.

To make things worse, back then the async story wasn't all that great to begin with. That was on top of the already confusing "will this run in parallel"-bingo situation of .NET. This was before the .CORE-1/2/3/NET-without-the-dot period, no idea if it's any better now.

Hiding complexity in a very expressive language (F# is beautiful), running on top of a complex VM that is constantly changing... in the context of working with tight deadlines and other peoples code, I don't mind if statements.

Happy to hear that the compiler catches other (most?) cases. Perhaps I should give F# another round, it's mostly .NET that I can't find myself to relearn for the nth time.
Don’t leave us hanging, which kids did you feed to the sharks?
C++ Beats Java in the Tiobe Index – The Future of Java
Java ranked fourth in the December 2022 Tiobe Index of programming language popularity, the lowest Java has ranked in the history of the index.

What do you people think about the future of Java? Once ruling the world and now its going downwards in last years. ("according to the index")

Is the Go which also improving position from 19 to 12 also a threat for Java?
I've seen development environments that try to abstract away the underlying web mechanisms[1], which can make it very hard to tell what's really going on at the request level. Combine that with incurious developers, deadlines and a need to ship anything that works and this is what you get.

[1] I'm thinking in particular of Ars Digita's second system effect Java replacement for their original Tcl environment. It tried to turn everything into late 1990s Java buzzwords and was completely opaque, as well as being comically inefficient.
I'm similar -- 3k miles, but still within the US. My siblings/cousins/family that I grew up less than 10 miles from are now spread between NY, CA, PA, TX, RI, NH, NC, ME, MI.

I was travelling through PA once as well and was at a local dive bar chatting up some folks - and they'd never even left their county either - not even for casual travel.

That's exclusively a "not implemented in CarPlay" thing, the feature is very obviously supported in iOS; it even has its own "bubble" in the main UX while navigating.

This seems to have been added in 2019:
https://www.macobserver.com/tips/quick-tip/google-maps-repor...

Does CarPlay even offer UX to allow that? It looks like Apple might support it, although the directions aren't very thorough: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/report-traffic-incide...
I was lurking since 2008. Then one day someone asked how they would build an app (stack choices, language, etc). I saw so many complex solutions that would be hard to change and pivot… it made me so pissed, that I created an account and wrote a comment.

Someone commented back along the lines “you’d single-handedly beat all of these solutions to market” and it felt great.

Since then, I still only comment on things that make me face palm or when I want to tell a related story (like having beers with Ian Fleming’s yacht mechanic). I get more out of it these days. I get told I’m wrong and learn things. It’s a more valuable experience to me.
I think a lot of times the problem that people want low code to solve isn't IT being overworked but IT being out of their control.

To put it another way, I think the demand for it is often just another manifestation of Conway's Law.
Heh. This makes me remember how the same technique was used in the "he will not divide us" trolling campaign to locate a video feed of a flag. Internet Historian has a video about IIRC.
We made an AI that validates startup ideas. Want your thoughts
Hello!

We made https://www.validatorai.com

A simple tool to give feedback on startup ideas.

Good traction so far (1900 registered users) and it's free.

People love it so far: https://www.validatorai.com/#people-saying

I am super passionate about helping people get rolling (college kids, first time startup entrepreneurs).

WHAT should I offer next, in order to help them along?

Many are requesting 'next steps' help.
I suppose more tools/articles etc.

THOUGHTS?

I'd love to make this site the FIRST PLACE people go when they have an idea... and then we help them along their journey.

Thanks!

Good. The centralization that we have is already terrible enough without making it any worse. But wake me up when the FTC grows a backbone and remembers that it has the power to break companies up as well.
I mean, at this point I'm not sure what I'm arguing against, because I'm not quite following the English in this person's comments. Which is fine, my German would be much worse. But the impression I get is that they're treating these AI stories as something like a cognitive toxin. From my perspective the worst harm that's likely is that they'll be boring. Even calling it "shitty" is giving it more significance than it merits.
Trying to jump-start a modern economy in a place that isn't currently participating in one is difficult, like attempting a breakaway in bike racing. It's a worthy public project, but a risky private one.
You know that, I know that, but the thousands of people getting desensitized and trained to run random terminal commands like this to "fix their wi-fi" usually don't.

The problem isn't even pasting curl output into sh – it's instructing non-technical users to run any terminal commands, in my opinion.
Dexcom G7 has received FDA clearance (Coming early 2023)
I've had the opportunity to delve into systemd in a previous role.

This sounds a bit weird, but its not easy to get started with, unless you're used to reading man pages. But once you're able to read man pages, all of systemd behavior is documented in the man pages. I do wish there were more human friendly docs though, especially for younger engineers used to better sorts of docs.

Anyways, once you do get the hang of it, its an immensely powerful system, but like any such system it has its quirks and edge cases. You can get 99% of what you need with it though, and for low level tasks on machines, its pretty amazing.
That's actually a quality answer given the garbage input.
The same applies to Common Lisp. Maybe it's because type deduction is more difficult in Python than in CL?

My main use case is to "warn me of problems ahead" when I don't need navigation help. For example, it saved my butt when the road ahead iced-over suddenly. I saw numerous accidents ahead and pulled off before I was in trouble or stuck on the road behind a wreck. I passed several scary big truck accident scenes a couple hours later once the road had been sanded.
Here are some samples for the fastest options tomorrow morning going to Munich from different places (aprox. distance as the crow flies, rounded time with long distance trains vs. local trains vs. by car):

Hamburg-Munich -- 600 km -- 6 h vs. 12 1/2 h vs. 8 1/2 h

Berlin-Munich -- 500 km -- 4 h vs. 9 h vs. 6 1/2 h

Cologne-Munich -- 450 km -- 4 1/2 h vs. 9 h vs. 6 h

Frankfurt/M-Munich -- 300 km -- 3 h vs. 5 h vs. 4 1/2 h

Nuremberg-Munich -- 150 km -- 1 h vs. 2 h vs. 2 h

Conclusion: The long distance trains are aprox. twice as fast. On longer distances the car is half-way in-between, on shorter distances, the car is only marginally faster than local transport.

Train times from bahn.de; Car from Google Maps.

EDIT: I found an interesting exception, where long distance trains and the rest differ a lot on a short distance:

Mannheim-Stuttgart -- 93 km -- 38min vs. 1h 50min vs. 1h 23min.

For py2many, there is an informal specification here:

https://github.com/py2many/py2many/blob/main/doc/langspec.md

Would be great if all the authors of "python-like" languages get together and come up with a couple of specs.

I say a couple, because there are ones that support the python runtime (such as cython) and the ones which don't (like py2many).
Can you also just put a destination and it'll show some sort of histogram of when the traffic is the busiest? Basically that + community warnings is the reason I'm 100% using Waze for driving directions.

Here is a screenshot of the feature I'm talking about: https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/waze-plann...

Basically, I know I want to go to A, but I'm not sure when to leave, I just know I want to avoid as much traffic as possible, so when should I leave? The feature kind of answers that.
1) It was a petty criminal matter.

2) All the advertisement bluster in the world melts away at the arrival of the first subpoena, search warrant, or national security letter.

I'm not saying that there must be no NordVPN logs, but I am saying that if they existed and they were subpoenaed, it would be really, really surprising if Nord didn't immediately turn them over.
Sounds like an old Hawai’i 5-0 plot.
Wait until you find out nearly every modern package manager installs stuff directly from github repos.

No, because of SQLite's locking mechanism. It uses filesytem-level constructs to support concurrency, and this gets dicey, quickly.

You have e.g. lifelong New Yorkers who may have gone to school elsewhere but can't really imagine living anyplace else.

But you have a couple of different groups broadly speaking. People who never moved out of a small town and people who gravitated back towards some major metro for any number of reasons.

And remember there are a lot of basically "small towns" that are counted with urban areas in the US.
Good to know. Given a succinct textual description of what you want coded in a specified language, it does quite well. I have saved time having it generate somewhat complicated regular expressions that I'm not very good at.
