Your blog posts were instrumental in response efforts, and it was honestly a great name (in response to a real problem, as you've mentioned), so I'll forgive you. ;)

> I think the subsequent vulns (Spring4Shell, Text4Shell) just use the format of the name to be more catchy and ride the coat tails of Log4Shell's notoriety. (Like a meme!)

100%. The problem is that it's not only lazy (like how every controversy is X-gate), it also makes executives and senior leaders shit their pants. Log4Shell was a serious wake-up call for many companies and forced them to take security and software seriously. Subsequent clout-chasing or memed vulnerabilities that evoke its name risk creating "alarm fatigue" — "The Boy Who Cried '4Shell'", so to speak.

Ok maybe "critical" doesn't convey what I mean. What I mean is it's not something that would be difficult to replace.

It's like... you might use your phone's timer app all the time. But if it suddenly started nagging you for donations all the time you aren't going to donate; you'd just switch to a different timer app. It isn't uniquely valuable.
More leftist viewpoints are science based? Where is the science based reasoning in that? They is just hard to take seriously. You can claim sone right wing people take a ridiculous view that man made climate change isn’t real but you can find many, if not more, ridiculous claims on the left. You can even find scientistic nonsense by many hyperbolic on the left that says non-science based things about construction change itself. The idea that leftists are more corroborated by science is oft repeated and never substantiated.
There are some threads online from Southwest employees. Essentially the entire system, which relied on dialing in via phone, failed catastrophically.

Those employees could, if not see this coming, at least knew the system was antiquated and brittle. A failure of some magnitude was inevitable. This failure however was so bad that they lost everything. They didn’t know where their own planes were, where their crew was, where baggage was, anything. It was all lost or at least inaccessible for days. The details of how and why the failure happened I am sure will come out, but essentially this was tech debt that the previous CEO saw no value in improving.

I think, a decisive factor in this may be whether you believe in ethics arising from human nature or in an external source of truth and morality.

In the latter case, loyalty, authority and sanctity become important factors for a community, which gathers around preserving and promoting this essential message, while, if you believe in the former, these very "virtues of aggregation" may become a threat of twisting and perverting the very truths that lie in all of us (as we may have seen it exploited in fascism). Even more so, as ethics arise from synthetic judgements a priori, proper thinking and the legitimacy of propositions become important in itself. While, if truth and morality are external, someone who is in the wrong is just someone not yet touched by truth, here, wrongness becomes a state of both intellectual and moral corruption that endangers the very principles of society.
thanks. i guess it's just another of those buzzword bingo terms.
The deconstruction of Russia and reconstruction of a “post-Russia space”
Or metric tonne? Don't worry, the spelling is different, so you can count on that to encode your unit information. Authors of scientific papers always pay attention to proper spelling/ grammar so you'll never have to worry! /s

I once read a paper that had mixed units (unfortunately common in my field), and the author was very lazy about throwing the words ton and tonne around with zero care. I had to carefully examine every instance of the word with it's context to make sure I was getting the right information. I still haven't quite recovered from that experience.
> Are compilers required to evaluate constexpr expressions at compile time, where possible?

No. But C++20 adds consteval, which does carry that requirement:

https://www.modernescpp.com/index.php/c-20-consteval-and-con...

Well, sort of. It has to produce a constant expression, and in practice the way to do that is to evaluate it at compile-time. But under the as-if rule, a compiler can do what it likes, up to and including producing a binary containing your source code and a copy of gcc, and compiling your entire program when you run it.

Perhaps, when all things are taken into consideration, renewables are actually better more often.

There are certainly many charities that are ineffective at their mission, inefficient with their funds or working on a mission that few would consider worthwhile. (And there are also some great charities out there that are effective, efficient and important, such as https://givedirectly.org.)

But charities (of which non-profit foundations are a subclass) aren't a "tax dodge". Money that you give to a charity is untaxed, so you can claim a refund on income taxes you've already paid on that money. But you don't get new money that you haven't already earned from the IRS; every penny given is money that you already had, and the tax refund is purely of tax that is no longer due on that money.

It's possible to be cynical of the motives of some philanthropic gifts, but Gates (and others) aren't financially better off from their giving itself.
Great to see that all of these got sold!

The numbers in this story don't exactly line up, in a way that tells a fun and clearly stressful story: (The cases have 6 bags each.)

The intro to the blog post mentions 34k bags of coffee actually made. The initial order was thought to be 6k bags of coffee, but was actually 6k cases = 36k bags of coffee. So it looks like some got sold off between the delivery fiasco and the blog post. Later in the blog post it's mentioned as approximately 30k bags sold for half off + free shipping.

It looks like at time of writing there are $5277 in donations at $50/case, so 630 bags from the fundraiser. The Fire Sale has sold out at 24k bags, short of their original 30k bag goal. (Edit: They sold out of all of the caffeinated coffee, not all of the decaf.) They raised between $173k (all $7 bags + donations) and $197k (all $8 bags + donations), not counting the substantial shipping costs for 4k cases of coffee.

The debt likely to be paid off first is $60k of personal credit cards, $65k of business credit cards, and $45k of personal loans (there's a social cost to keeping these after such a successful fundraiser). $170k total here, leaving the $66k of other debt to be paid off more gradually.

(Edit: They only have decaf left from the sale coffees. The 4k bags not put up for sale, and some remaining decaf, are all of their excess inventory. Ignore following paragraph) ~~I'm guessing that they chose to keep the extra inventory after seeing the wild and immediate success of the sale. Knowing that they can pay off their worst debt, and getting a ton of new customers as well, they'd rather have the extra 6k bags around to sell at normal prices. It's also possible that they sold out of one type of coffee first, and that helped them decide to shut down the sale, rather than keeping it updated with the different varieties still in stock.~~

Modest Coffee now seems poised to be successful. Extra stock, no longer extra warehousing space needed, exposure to a ton of new customers, and their worst debts paid. I wouldn't be surprised if they look back on this fiasco as their biggest success in a few years.
Cities spend between 50 and 75% of their budgets on schools, and the largest line item after that tends to be policing, followed by water service.
I think someone more familiar with this than me could look at the cost of a Falcon 9 launch with a re-used first stage and compare it to a non-re-used first stage launch cost and make some assumptions/ballpark guess about how much work goes into refurb.
You could do it with a custom provider. You basically can define your own flow and inside that use the passkeys.

I plan on doing it this way in the product that i am working on, but to save time I use a parallel auth system that just plug and plays with react and then I do some user mapping in my backend (ugly haha but for now is good)
Which terminal emulator did you settle on?
Sounds tautological
C would be a better language if it really lived up to its old ideal of being a "portable assembly language". That stopped being true as compilers started optimizing undefined behavior (e.g. signed overflow). Instead of a "+" in the source code yielding an honest-to-goodness hardware add instruction, it could be "optimized"--i.e. constant folded, CSE'd, strength-reduced, value-range-analyzed, among others--by an optimizing compiler in ways that completely ignore what the hardware instruction actually does upon overflow. That meant the C language became more like a vague suggestion of assembly and it became pretty much impossible to code to the machine anymore.
Any chance you'll open source all this? It could serve as a nice foundational layer / harness
/ framework for many purposes.

Edit: I found your explanatory post (https://datasciencecastnet.home.blog/2022/12/30/distilhn-sum...), not yet totally clear whether it includes enough information to be considered an end to end tutorial, but it's certainly a generous start. Thank you!
Local foods are necessarily more ripe and fresher than remotely grown foods. There are more reasons than supporting your neighbors or stable food chains - quality is almost universally higher at a farmers market than at a big box store. That’s not because local farmers are superior, it’s because they harvest closer to optimal ripeness and sell it fast before it spoils. Food grown on the other side of the planet and shipped in storage containers is necessarily harvested very early and is non optimally ripened, or never ripens.
Also without operator overloading, it wouldn't be possible to implement lazy evaluation, which along with the use of expression templates happens to be one of the most crucial aspects that any linear algebra library will want to take advantage of in order to generate the most optimal code.
1 HP was meant to represent the average amount of power a horse could sustain for a work shift. A horse can’t sustain 15 HP for more than a few seconds at a time.

It is not that it is hard to understand the syntax or even write them, it is hard to read and change them. Here is an example I just grabbed off a random webpage:

^(?=.\d)(?=.[a-z])(?=.[A-Z])(?=.[!@#$^&()_-]).{8,18}$

That is hard to quickly* read and understand what it is. Sure a comment would help, but if someone said it isn't working, I have to work all that out and then fix it.

There is a reason Perl lost to Python. It just seems like we can do better.
Where have you been renting that didn't insist on payment up front?

I hate to break it to you, but suburbia are still around in the 2020s, and still very conformist. (PG has lots of essays describing how the residential segregation of suburbia - quite aside from any specificity about race or ethnicity - ends up creating and enforcing conformity.)
It's a bad thing because as it turns out, feet are all kinds of sizes, vary over time both in individuals and in groups, and may have different sizes or averages in different geographical areas. Even the unit foot is different between Indian survey feet, US survey feet, and apparently the international foot. To add extra confusion, there's the ISO 2848's "metric foot" which is exactly 30 cm, which supercedes former "metric feet" of different lengths. If you take old feet into account, a feet can be anywhere between 25 cm and 33.5 cm. What a mess!

A standard foot corresponds to EU shoe size 48 - woe be upon the person who goes shoe-shopping with thus Goliath feet.

Then there's the randomness on how super- and subunits seem to be randomly defined (1 foot apparently is a third of a yard (which is a stupid unit name in itself, because otherwise, yard defines an area, which is much larger than around a meter), but 12 inches.

This being a stupid situation is something Europe has understood already in the 18th century, which led to unifying to rational - metric and eventually SI - units.
Nope nothing has changed in the nature of man. And nothing will be different in 10000 more years. The circumstances change but human nature and motives are constant. The sources of my happiness are fundamentally the same since the beginning of man.
Probably because they eat the cost of a refund to the customer over a bad order.
But GPL requires the resulting derivative code to be open-sourced under GPL, not just attributed. So if you did that then copilot could only emit code under a GPL license. Maybe that is okay, but it is not what copilot is trying to do at the moment. (And not everyone wants to open-source all their code under GPL.)

Honestly the hardest thing to do as a parent comes down to setting a good example. If we want our kids to do more than scroll mindlessly for hours and hours, it's incredibly impactful for us to model that behavior. (I'm nowhere near as good about this as I'd like to be.)

With our first kid we were pretty adamant about screen time restriction at a young age. By kid three, the restrictions had loosened significantly. There was also a pandemic in there — but in addition to having a lot more on our hands as parents, we established things like family games at night etc.

We watched Avatar the Last Airbender as a family and it was a great thing to do together. I introduced the kids to Sim City Classic and Scratch programming.

It's all about balance but ultimately, as parents we gotta "walk the walk" and model the behavior we want to see in our kids.
> Your examples are people "being helpful" by "figuring it out for you" when they don't understand all the specifics.

Oh, this definitely happens but then I just explain how things work and what it means. But it also happens a lot with people who should know better than that (with the job title and all).
This feels like a cyclic process that both drives efficiency and improves as energy access and utilization efficiency improves.
I could be wrong but I believe they use brand new first stages for any manned mission because the stakes are higher. And they allow customers to elect for a brand new first stage at added cost. So the standards for refurbishment may be not quite as strict for regular payload/resupply missions because worst case scenario you're blowing up tens of millions of dollars of equipment/supplies instead of 3 human beings.
The failure mode I see here, which seems quite likely, is that attribution would almost always list tens of thousands of source files, or more. They doesn’t seem particularly useful or meaningful.
I am not familiar with the UK model, but there isn’t enough room in the automated systems in the US. There isn’t really enough room for the carts or for bagging groceries. Beyond a single bag. The systems are really designed around buying a few items.
You don't necessarily have to know the Nix language upfront, but it helps (otherwise your eyes will glaze over in parts you'd otherwise grok right away). Honestly, it's not a terrible starting point. Nix has been described as "JSON with a different syntax, plus pure functions" which does come sort of close- It's not actually as complex as it looks at first.

There's a very cool interactive tutorial here which fit the way I like to learn pretty perfectly: https://nixcloud.io/tour/?id=1 It's an actual Nix interpreter running in the browser (thanks to emscripten) that validates your answers by actually evaluating them, through a series of progressively more difficult questions.

Groceries is a high capital very low margin business because you need to have all of the things in store before you can sell them, some of them for extended periods. Essentially this reduces the amount of capital you need to upfront and shoves it down to the next in line. The alternative would be to take a loan.
I don't disagree about your analysis of the politics but I still think the math just doesn't pencil out. On the other side of the issue from all those Cubans who don't want normalized relations is business interests that do.

Levis wants to sell them jeans. Apple wants to sell them phones. GM wants to sell them truck. Raytheon wants to sell them radar systems. There's just so much money to be made when a formerly isolated market become unlocked that I think you could win back Florida and more with all the donations from the big corporations that would stand to benefit from normalized relations with Cuba.

I think the only reason nothing happens is because there's no one sector that really stands to benefit and can make a concentrated lobbying effort whereas the people that don't want it are a unified ethnic group which for the purposes of high level political analysis can roughly be seen as a voting block.

Ditto all this for Iran, but move all the decimals to the right once or twice.
You can arbitrarily decide not to ship until prepayment is received.
Nix has potential to be a universal installer, although it's still a bit cumbersome when working with languages like python. Another pain point is the need for superuser privilege to write to /nix
In my case the problem is that I need things to be where they make sense for my brain or I lose them, and my sister (who I live with) has the type of anxiety that manifests as needing control over and having a 'tidy' space. So it does end up in a deadlock because she wants things all nice and 'organized' but then I can't see them and have no idea where they are.

It was a rhetorical question. I understand how TeXmacs works.

It does use LaTeX: it contains a usable LaTeX importer/exporter. Yes, the importer and exporter aren’t perfect, but they are used in a nontrivial capacity nevertheless. LaTeX is such an integral part of the research workflow for so many academics that leaving it behind entirely is not an option. So instead many people use TeXmacs to generate LaTeX for submission e.g. to a journal. To me, this means that it is a LaTeX tool. Maybe this is not exactly the intended use case, but here we are.
I can only speak to my experience using ChatGPT. But it’s doing a lot more than copying and pasting code snippets it finds on the internet. It actually is translating English to code.

I had a “DevOps” project I was working on creating deployment process using AWS technologies (disclaimer: where I work in Professional Services). I needed a few relatively simple Python scripts.

I first asked ChatGPT:

“given a JSON file like this [{“company”:”${company}”} replace the word surrounded by ${} with the equivalent environment variables using Python”.

It worked perfectly. But it hardcoded the input file.

“Modify the script to accept the input file using a command line argument -json-file using argparse”

That worked and used the “required=true” parameter.

“Instead of skipping replacement if an environment variable is not found, raise an exception”.

And it seems to understand the AWS SDK. I told it to convert a script I wrote to a CloudFormation custom resource using the cfnresponse module and it knew the correct Lambda event structure, the event format etc.

I have seen reports and have witnessed it making up functions occasionally.

But, I believe with the right prompts, it should be able to create simple CRUD scripts.
Indeed, so should it be predict instead?
