I go into much trouble to explain my position on general data structures in the article I have linked previously. You can't, in general, really optimize general data structures for specialized use-cases. That's why they are called general!

You wouldn't use a map where you could use a vector, right? But a map would still do the trick, no?

If you start doing all that, you are then trying to fit logs through a meatgrinder. You then have bloat, inefficiency, and all that other good stuff. I mean, you see, this is exactly why we have so many problems right now: people trying to use a general solution for everything. But all those solutions aren't good enough for one reason: they can't specialize. And you can't make them so. (That's the whole point of the topic article, too, just applied to strings.) And they can't interoperate.

> even 99.99% of relevant cases of your domain

Currently, that's more like 50% and the rest is unattainable without access and the knowledge of structure. And the first 50% doesn't even work that well either. I list a few applications on the website, so, don't take this as a bunch of empty claims: those can't be done efficiently (or practically) via the general means.

> Normal editing today is: you press a key, something happens, that's all. Sometimes you add a modifier, but that's mostly it. Vim on the other side, you have modes, you have parameters for key presses, you compose commands to create new commands on the fly. That all is several steps more complex than just a simple key press. Vi-Input is a whole language in itself, highly complex on a cryptic level, all just to macro-manage micro-tasks.

It may be complex in comparison to notepad, sure, but, I mean I haven't seen what's so cryptic about it, not really.

No that’s not… at least in many countries. Unlike patents, “parallel creation” is allowed, this was fought out in case law over photography decades ago, because photographers would take images of the same
subject, then someone else would, and they might incidentally capture a similar image for lots of reasons and thus before ubiquitous photography in our pockets, when you had to have expensive equipment or carefully control the lighting in a portraiture studio to get great results… well it happened and people sued like those with money to spare for lawyers are want to do, and thus precedent has been established for much of this. You don’t see it a lot outside photography but it’s not a new thing for art copyright law and I think the necessity of the user to provide their own input and get different outcomes outside of extremely sophisticated prompt editing… will be a significant fact in their favour.
A while back I fell down the anti-aging rabbit hole, and it was fascinating to realize that we have no good way to measure aging. We can measure different things that seem associated with it, but I guess since we don't know the root cause(s), we don't have any one thing we can all agree on. It seems like the only thing everyone can agree on is that if a person looks old, they (probably) are.

Which is a long way of saying, yes, I agree with you; the methylation metric may be total bunk. But there isn't anything else (IIRC) that we can all agree to measure instead. That's why the Harvard article emphasized that they were using a metric for aging they'd developed in-house. I just want to read the paper before passing judgement, and right now sci hub doesn't have it.
Operating system engineers seem to often have a "bug" in their thought process where they believe the models of hardware they use are close to 100% true.

It turns out that they are often almost completely false, so relying on those promises is a bad idea.
As someone that has a diagnosis and takes medication for it and and an educator, I understand better than most both sides of the situation. I apologize if it seems like I don't understand both sides. In asian culture there is still a very very strong stigma surrounding treatment for mental health issues. Sometimes hesitancy is cultural and other times it's religious and other times it's pride. My own struggles growing up in a similar situation as the child and learning that I suffered unecessarily after I started medication, affects the language I use to describe the situation. Maybe I have become more jaded than I realize, I appreciate your perspective.

It's trivial to stop the fatbergs caused due to flushable wipes if city administrations spend a few minutes thinking about why people use flushable wipes instead of spending time and money in celebrity campaigns [1] against them.

The conclusion is obvious – wiping with dry toilet paper is an inefficient, unhygienic, and sometimes painful way of cleaning yourself after defecation. Hence, people use wet wipes to "feel fresher", as the advertisements euphemistically put it.

The solution is also quite straightforward – go all the way and replace most uses of toilet paper with bidets or washlets, following the lead of smart nations like Japan. Wet wipe usage will automatically plummet. City planners all over the world should be running campaigns promoting bidet usage and partnering with washlet companies instead of sternly wagging their fingers at wet wipe users.

Fair enough. Polio is a better example. Either way, you get the gist.
That sort of stuff is usually dealt with at application server or somewhere around that level. The developer working on rules themselves is never encountering http requests themselves. Or very rarely.

That is how actual secure coding is achieved - by dealing with headers and requests in one standard well tested place. Actual new development is separated, so there is no need for someone working on trading engine to deal also with cors

Hrm, I'm in my 40s. I got a criminal record at 20 for being caught in a club with 3 pills. It still didn't stop me. I continued doing Es for a long time. It was good at the time but I wish I hadn't done them. It's like a lot of other drugs, once you've done it everything becomes dull without it. I used to think about them all the time. Until it got to the point were I hated them. The come downs became horrific (once you've done a lot of them, hangovers don't come close).

I was given some mdma at a festival 5 years ago. I hated it. It was strong but I hated the feeling of being out of my mind.

Mainly I think all I got out of it was a ruined short term memory and wasted time recovering from endless nights out.

I don't look back with rose tinted specs. I regret it.

Your argument makes no sense unless you are claiming the GP is lying.

The sharer should always be truthful. But also the reader should assume things might not be as it seems, trying to verify it on their own. But that is different than recommending everyone to not share anything.

There are two separate recommendations to be made: one for the writer, and one for the reader.

There are still restrictions. I named a big one in the comment already. Biden admin just extended the ban on foreign arrivals based on vaccine status for more months so gotta assume the ban will last until the Dems next lose the White House. That's a ban on a big fraction of the population of most countries. Other countries don't do that because it's pointless but still have some restrictions like mandatory masks in some contexts in Germany.

During COVID I compared claims made by public health officials to the actual data their own agencies were publishing and so often they didn't match. Not just my perception. I have a friend, at the start of it all we often argued because I had already realized public health was corrupt, but he hadn't. I dropped the topic rather than try to convince him. Some months later we were drinking and he told me his views had changed, was now hard-core skeptical about it all. Changed because he did the same as me, watched a press conference by the government, got curious about something, went to the websites with that data and downloaded it. Found they didn't line up, that the government scientists and health minister were lying about what the numbers said. Then he admitted he'd been wrong to argue with me about it.

Lots of people had experiences like that. Public health communication trying to make us "willing to take actions that will help ourselves" was always whatever would sound convincing in the moment, not what was true. So it's all worthless.
Haskell, Julia, Rust, Lisp, and Forth are 'esoteric' enough to create an in-crowd, who are quite often deluded by imagined miraculous solutions to people's problems.

Please repeat after Fred Brooks: there ain't no silver bullet.

To a certain extent this goes on outside programming languages per se: OOP, Gang of Four, Agile match the pattern as well.

"Be careful, they have spooky powers" seems to be the message. As well as "there are digital fingerprints everywhere", as they also talk about ProPublica doing their own investigation.
Lockdowns did help flatten the curve, many countries health systems were overwhelmed regardless, but without lockdowns the fatalities and outcomes for severe cases would have been an order of magnitude worse.

-> personal experience: I survived only because I was able to get an ICU bed at the right time as did millions more in my country. Millions more didn't because the health systems were overwhelmed.

It's hard to take your argument in good faith when you offhandedly say stuff like this -> "A lot of that stuff turneded out to be fabricated, but it spooked a lot of folks."

Look at the hell china is going through right now and the hell we went through(India). The wounds are still deep and fresh, loved ones dying because they can't get a bed, or oxygen. Bodies rotting because crematoriums couldn't handle load and cities ran out of firewood.

I think there is room for discussion about the merits and demerits of various public/social policies around the pandemic without reducing it to a binary point of view and making it evidence based instead of offhandedly invalidating the pain and suffering of millions over the last few years as "fabricated".
This is awesome! Didn't make it to London this past year, but everywhere from Paris to Barcelona to Istanbul had space invaders painted on houses. But i guess it doesn't count as "look down"
Yeah, weird to see all these variations

- Aha, an expect test!

- Oh, you mean a snapshot test!

- This here is akin to UI testing framework X where the test framework can compare an expected screenshot of the UI to a screenshot of the actual UI!

The last one basically requires automation if you want anyone to make use of it. The regression testing automation described in the OP is a nice-to-have, not a so-good-that-it-gets-a-new-name.

So do we know whether they need the offices around the world, or they fired facilities management and forgot to pay for the rent? Or perhaps they are going bankrupt and if so do they know or finance is gone too?
Tried your app and it had some of the worst dark patterns experience I've yet seen on iOS.

If it's not a scam it at least works hard to appear as a scam.
I am rather impressed with this and will definitely make good use of it.
Thanks for demonstrating your sheer lack of credentials on the subject.

Just taking space away from cars, painting some more white lines, and calling it a day leads to:

* Increased car congestion.

* Drivers annoyed at the cyclists disrupting car traffic, if there are any, and the bike lanes making driving in general hazardous and inconvenient.

* Cyclists (if there are any) fearful of the hunks of metal several tons heavy barreling around right next to them.

* Underutilized bike lanes because cyclists have no practical destinations to go to; a layout for cars is not a layout for bicycles.

Ultimately noone's happy, tons of taxpayer dollars are spent for naught, time is wasted. No thank you.
No you’re 100% wrong unfortunately. Congress is the part of government that creates laws. Over time congress has delegated more and more of its power to government agencies. This is of course anti-democratic.

These agencies are the real power structures in the country. No matter who is elected by the people, agencies get to enact policies that are in effect laws being created by people that are not elected.

However, these institutions maintain the power of the ruling class by virtue of being indirectly responding to “the science” elite universities arbitrarily choose to fund by virtue of wealthy donors and is normalized in prestigious journals so good natured folk like yourself not only accept it but justify it. This is how “current things” take hold.

You can’t really blame democrats or republicans for this as they both use it to enter an h power outside of democratic methods. Democrats have better utilized them to be sure but they’re 2 sides of the same coin minus some outliers here and there.
It is actually more like salt.

Salt enhances the flavour of food, MDMA enhances the experience that's already there.

It doesn't just invent the feelings, instead amplifies the feelings you have.

Is salt just fake taste?
> It was deemed an original work by the court.

The resolution is much weirder than that, the court argued that the pose isn't original enough for the photo to deserve copyrights at all, independently of what the plagiarist did with it.
'Life affirming' is completely different to being fucked out of your head. MDMA can give you a stronger connection to the important things in life (love, relationships, your feelings) when used sensibly (just like many other drugs). Hard drugs like meth can become your life, no thanks..
Does anyone know of a version of, or way to run, Pi-Hole on TrueNAS Core? That's what my home NAS runs, and while its list of "appliances" is quite long, it doesn't contain any network ad-blockers, AFAICS.

I am not bothered on the TV. I bought a ~15YO Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ80E, a huge plasma thing that is almost totally dumb. It cost me £/$ 60 a year ago, and it's great. It talks to a cable TV box and an elderly Mac mini for playing videos. Works a treat, costs very little, and zero online advertising.

I have got Kodi on it and our phones for a "ten foot UI", but using macOS is easy enough that we never need it.

Most developers don't get to choose development priorities. Their gratification comes from a salary which may or may not rise by unknown proportion based on deltas in performance. The "real" incentives behind company performance are generally not owned by developers to any emotionally substantive extent.
I'm not an emacs power user. I use emacs solely.

Compared to me the author feels like a power user of emacs (or was one) and is making broad arguments against the existence of people like me: not power users.

I've never run into these issues they talk about and I don't really know elisp.

Mostly, over vim, I just like chord editors more than modal editors. If a more modern terminal-based chord editor came out I'd try it.
That's high, but not crazy. Banks spend serious amounts on customer acquisition for credit products. For a normal card holder, spending $200 in acquisition costs (marketing, referral fees, free "points" etc all added together) is not a strange number in the industry.
>Given FreeBSD's negligible market share perhaps worse is indeed better.

Not sure if that's true, i know many people who have TrueNAS, but no Linux installation on a Desktop/Server.

Also some PS3/4/5 owners and Netflix users, often people don't know they use FreeBSD or parts of it, but they know when they installed Linux.

It's also funny that Linus tech tips probably use more FreeBSD's (TrueNas and OPNsense) then Linux's ;)

Oh no! Talk to me when the corporate structure kicks you out with zero day notice.
In fact, I think every output should have its own buffer (or a place to end up in).

On the one hand, this is a UI problem, so that's just how I would prefer it. When you have a lot of output (like thousands of lines in a batch), you really don't want to go looking for where that thing begins.

On the other hand, you can't easily access the latest execution run programmatically. So, then, the input part shouldn't be there as well.

That doesn't mean you couldn't select a run of input-output dialogue, though. Visually, the run of UI input-outputs could be the same, it's just that how you work with all that stuff that has to be structured.

The price I pay for better proportions is that height is divisible by 2 and 7, while floors are divisible by 2, 3 and 6.

But it might make sense that walls have different patterns of division than floors. And dividing walls evenly might be not that useful (except for levels of buildings) and placing things equidistantly between the ceiling and floor on the walls is also not very useful.
We do: almost any framework will prevent sql injections automatically and the same for things like CSRF or HTML injection.

What we don't do is have a checklist to go through. We haven't considered these things, because we have _eliminated the posibility_ of that particular issue.

> Many institutions have a regulation on the books to allow for oral examination to be carried out for any course at the discretion of the course leader, for the purpose of evaluating a student for award of a grade.

This, in my opinion, is the only approach that will work. When I ask cheaters to come in to explain the work, they get cold feet.
In Poland home shchooling is a thing. There are tens of thousands kids learning at home. They only need to come to school from time to time to do some tests. They have to pass mandatory exams after year 8 - for primary education and after year 12 for high school (yes, it is allowed to do high school education). To my best knowledge you do not have to provide any specific reasons why your kid is learning at home, the parents however need to provide evidence of theirs capacity to conduct that type of education.

FFS/FFS2 on OpenBSD is definitely one of the system's weaknesses. In addition to being kinda slow it's also a bit unnerving that the file system invalidates relatively easily. While it doesn't happen regularly for me, and despite never having suffered actual data loss, it's always unnerving sitting through a forced fsck session.

It's a question whether standard police work should be reformed since despite all classical attempts at hiding, they were found.

It questions: are the trade offs worth it?

I suppose the corrolary being: what if this protest was more legitimate but the police was corrupt?

I live in China myself so I find it interesting to ask this question before it's fully done and lost, even if I feel I know the answer: yes, it is worth it, and you'll never shock people with stories of criminals being founds thanks to general surveillance as much as they're shocked by unsolved horrendous crimes, so the abuses will be tolerated (or hidden thanks to the new structure of standard police work) as price to pay, when a critical mass of crimes that could have been solved will be reached.

And I am sad to tell you, that trading freedom for safety is paradise, and when I left the scary city I lived in before to Hong Kong where I live now, I felt such a surprised relief at the total absence of small crimes (all citizens prints are stored on a central database for instance, all 7M of us can be found in an instant). I'm never going back, they can read my emails and track my phone.

Yep, I'm surprised the OP doesn't use such a scheme, possibly with something SSE-ish so you don't mix the content and comments on-disk but they're both retrieved as a single request.

This way all you need is a POST endpoint (which might just be a cgi script) to receive the comment and update the comment file.

Gets more complicated if you support threaded comments or pagination, but for a linear comment system it should be more than enough.
