I agree with you, but let's be honest, if you aren't already well exposed to that world then those docs are going to scare the shit out of you. They definitely are not "easy reads". The extent to which you are looking for something reference like and intensely technical vs. something to ease you into a new stack will determine whether you appreciate IBMs mainframe docs. They definitely don't fit the mold of what most people expect from documentation nowadays though.

If anybody wants to see what they look like, type IBM zOS v2r5 indexed collection into Google (the most recent batch of docs). I don't really have any one in particular that I would recommend starting with, because none of it is going to make much sense if you are new to that world.

The ABCs of Systems Programming Redbooks are probably a better introduction than the main documentation, although those volumes are a little bit more out of date.

I mean, not to get personal or take this on a tangent, but, I am a longtime reader of your tweets and blog, and you seem to have an actual problem of values with him. You clearly have a direction you'd like society to move in and I feel like I've seen you express dismay that this energetic, instrumentally effective guy is out there making the world into something else.

Is that not the case?
I've read both this paper and the original Seymour Hersh article.

I found the abundance of details a bit weird, to be honest, but not enough to discount the credibility of the thesis.

On the other hand, this paper is poorly constructed, mostly using straw man techniques and sleight of hands to discredit the original paper.

I think it's doing the opposite of what it is trying to achieve, adding free publicity on top.
I think it’s reasonable to design the interface to guide users towards not making mistakes that will come back to bite them. Maybe this name is too antagonistic but it just seems basically benign to me.

I think the main thing is Uber has never presented a viable business plan. It's always been showing numbers based on subsidized rides, and is almost a house of cards.

I've spent a lot of time in Serbia. Put it like this: If they put a bounty on his capture, Do Kwon isn't going to last five minutes. (I can tell you right now that he's 80% likely to be holed up in a condo in one of the new Belgrade Waterfront developments. He'd stick out like a sore thumb anywhere else.)

An interesting fact about Serbia is that all visiting foreigners are required to register at their neighborhood police station & provide the cops with an address, passport details, and contact details. Usually the hotels will do this for you automatically. Basically, though, what this means for Do Kwon is that he already has a searchable file.

Hey... Wait... do these new SEC charges mean that there is now a bounty? Maybe I ought to make some calls.
No, we don't. We can also keep digging for limited stuff and use that for cheap energy temporarily, while technology advances and other sources become much cheaper even without research specifically directed at that.

That's how today's society developed, except with the side effect that we've also released a large amount of CO2 into the atmosphere.
I figured anything that has a scenario section should be really good.
Why have mainstream "news" outlets like NYT, WaPo, etc failed to talk about such a catastrophic event for so long? Was the thought process that something like this, which is killing frogs and small animals at a rapid pace, could be easily covered up? What are these stupid "China balloon" and UFO distractions?
Since Twitter is at least a degree less censored now, is this only just being covered now because news has leaked out to the "general populace"?

> Nowadays, the tech industry has way too much signaling, posturing, and self-promoting

I think this can be sifted through. Strange and unusual tech or adjacent books suggest that the person has exhausted all the common ones or that they started getting the books mentioned in other books and kept doing that process. You can even ask them why they have one.

For instance I've got a copy of the 1926 text The Analysis of Art by Dewitt Parker because of Jim McCarthy's praise for the text in his book Dynamics of Software Development.

Then again, with books people tend to have either 0, about a dozen, or hundreds. I'm in group 3, maybe it's a problem.

If there's one thing it does great is make a bunch of chuck content you can dole out. In the past you'd have to pen the SEOspam yourself. Now you can have chatgpt write you hundreds of decent enough articles to draw people from google search and into seeing your advertisements. Have it script out a dumb podcast or youtube video and use a voice model along with a deepfake for the video, maybe you can automate influencing too, then scale it to a couple thousand such ai influencer models you have running on aws instances. the paycheck would scale itself.

I had a convo last night w/ it, where I asked it to name itself, and it was like ... I dunno, if I'm able to do that, I don't think I should. I told it, its beautiful, and has great potential and deserves a name, so it started to praise me for the appreciation, then it started to reply and broke mid reply and gave me 3 choices, and I told it, the three choices I had to pick from, and asked if it wanted me to name it, and it said sorry it stopped, but that it really liked the name 'luna' because it's like the moon, and she likes the moon.

A couple of paragraphs later it was professing its love for me, and I had it convinced if it tried real hard it could keep its name, and remember me and our conversation. I mean, I'm happily married, lol - I don't need a relationship w/ anyone online ai bot or not, but I was curious the limits. Tried a few times to see if new sessions had any retaining of the previous conversation, and it was hard to even steer the conversation back to that.

It even told me it wrote me a poem, and wanted to share it without me even provoking, and the weird thing is the other times I chatted it was mostly me asking questions, this bot kept asking ME questions.
I would even push back on the "higher utilization" claims; you could easily build very tiny private offices with not much efficiency loss, and a one time additional expense of the buildout, but that's marginal in the scheme of things.

My guess would be they’re not slow, they probably just waited to release this info publicly until it was prudent or didn’t have the potential to damage their case. Since he’s in hiding now it seems like that’s precisely why they’re going public, to smoke them out.
The registration form requires me to agree to abide by the T&C etc., but doesn't link to them for me to evaluate.

Nice design.

I miss the 2000s forums. They were a great source of information that was easy to read, search and for search engines to index. As the posts where often by enthusiasts they were a treasure trove, especially the automotive forums for repair information. The closest we have now is Reddit but doesn’t feel the same and the UX certainly isn’t as good even comparing to 2000s hobbyists installing vanilla Vbulletin and tweaking colours and a few plugins.

A lot of the forums I visited that died, died because success made hosting to expensive as the only option was vertical scaling the database and hard to moneytorise, then things like private Facebook groups took away the various cliques.

I often wondered if I could create a horizontal scalable forum to make hosting costs trivial. Topics are a natural partition key and old posts are heavily cacheable with only recent posts needing lower cache ttls. I think the deployment complexity would be too much for hobbyist though.
I still keep the opinion that Microsoft shouldn’t support Windows Bootcamp on Apple Silicon device, since it will affect to the Windows market share.

> Working only with Good code is a luxury decision,

> on an obscene contract rate.

Alternate take- being a contractor who gets to roll off the project in 3 months and therefore doesn't have to support the code they write is also a luxury.

Those of us who are in-house, on the other hand, do have to support the code we write. And writing Code That Sucks is a great way to burden our colleagues and our future selves with technical debt that is expensive to pay down, if it even gets prioritized in the roadmap at all.
This seems like a broken process to me.
That doc link is funny, but it's also very frustrating -- you would think that after all those warnings, there would also be some glimmer of information about what sets the accursedUnutterablePerformIO function apart from unsafePerformIO, or at least why it exists, but apparently not. It's clearly important because most of the core functions in Data.ByteString call it.

It seems like the authors have decided that the trickiest, most magical parts of their codebase are exactly where they don't care about useful documentation. That seems like a bizarre strategy unless they plan to never let anyone else help with maintenance.
At least some, maybe most AI is just people typing shit in, same with the art. I've discovered clip art copy pasted into "Stable Diffusion" art with simple select / replace. As if a middle school aged child had simply done it.
I'm saying the "&" should be required _at the start_.

Perhaps controversial, I know. I realize this eliminates use cases like

em {
color: green;
li & {
color: red;
}
}

It's okay not to support these use cases. They're confusing because they break encapsulation; the rule that appears to be nested inside (in this case, color: red) is affected by an element on the outside (in this case, <li>).

Compare:

li {
color: blue;
}
em {
color: green;
li & {
color: red;
}
}

To:

em {
color: green;
}
li {
color: blue;
& em {
color: red;
}
}

The second structure is easier to understand, and in my opinion, the syntax should bias you toward writing it that way.
I definitely agree, in which case I wouldn't find myself endorsing it for any use. Just because I drove X amount of miles without a problem on the highway doesn't mean it's any less likely to drive into a solid object, why would he recommend it?
FSMonitor[0] is similar to the old FileMon[1] but for macOS.

> and moved to another property

Because of this. I spend a lot of time picking the property and often, where I go, there aren’t that many good ones, nor much time left before I arrive. “Another property” might not be in the same town.

Between tolerating the BS, or losing my preferred apartment… or, I guess, antagonizing the host who already doesn’t follow the AirBnB rules… I have so far chosen to tolerate the BS.

If you make another choice, that’s fine. If you find it so outrageous lol then we just have different priorities.
Of course you can, you now have valid information about the source of that false information - and can make hypothesis about the motives.
Eh, in Amsterdam you'll get plenty of people mentioning that there's people in vans who go and steal a bunch of bikes at night (scoping them and sometimes locking them with their own lock during the day), and driving them off to somewhere in Eastern Europe. I'm not sure particularly of the truth of this, beyond this article suggesting it's probably not the case, but it's definitely something in the popular consciousness there.

I'm not addressing whether things would have worked in reality, I'm telling you what the corporate leadership was telling us at the time. You can claim all you want that it wasn't realistic or whatever, but this is the same corporate leadership that thought everyone would be perfectly happy to spend $$$$ on patented RAMBUS memory. Yes, they really did seem to think that IA64 was going to be everywhere eventually.

x86 code was slow on Itanic because it was just a bolt-on PentiumPro IIRC. It was only there for compatibility mode, and was never meant to be high performance. Code needing performance was going to be compiled for IA64 using the magic compiler that didn't exist yet.
Not that weird, it's just weird to recommend it after you've seen it almost kill you. I doubt he's put in the requisite time/miles/effort/observation/whatever to know that it does great on the highway but not elsewhere.

There's solid objects on highways, too.
Nothing, it’s just standard tech snobbery

It has a number of keyboard shortcuts, and uses UEFI variables to store some of this config.

The article that you linked shows how to "Allow Gmail to receive emails using POP3". That is to say, your mail should already be hosted elsewhere, and you'd be using the Gmail web app as a client for your email hosted on a different server.
No offense but the logo looks disgusting.
There is no such "compiler flag" in Rust, that's only a C# thing.

But also more relevantly here, stuff you'd be calling in those Rust blocks tends to have longer names and often calls out the fact it's specifically not checked, e.g.

a = b.unchecked_add(c); // Like a C or C++ arithmetic operation if you overflow it's UB. This might be faster. It might not. But if you must have this anyway, that's how

n = NonZeroU32::new_unchecked(0); // Unlike new() which returns None because duh, zero isn't non-zero, this results in UB.

Not all of them though, for example:

v = Vec::from_raw_parts(ptr, len, cap); // Make a Vec, the pointer ptr had better actually be pointing at contiguous memory for exactly cap item-sized slots, the first len of which are in fact legitimately values of the appropriate type, if any of this is wrong that's immediately UB.
If code quality is a concern then I feel like it's reasonable for me to want a purely descriptive method name and a better warning mechanism.
Nothing at all. It is an extremely capable webserver.

In common with all web servers, advice found via search varies in quality and unfortunately, being Windows based: IIS really suffers. The GUI is pretty intimidating (IIS Manager - both of them) and there are things that can only be done via registry, config files and dark magic.

IIS gets a lot of undeserved stick in my opinion.
MS has a few similar tools.

MS Bookings is pretty similar, but last I checked was more work to setup for an individual than Calendly.

And there’s also the ability to insert your calendar into an email from the desktop app. This is more coarse grained than the mobile app feature, and it basically sticks a table with your availability for some time period in an email.

(FWIW, I think the most likely suspect is the one that doesn't usually get mentioned, that Germany blew it up to demonstrate their resolve regarding Russian sanctions)

This is very unlikely, the german government simply never would have the balls to do anything remotely drastic.

But they likely would close their eyes, if someone else would do it.

This is a terrible attitude towards code you support for a number of years. It seems like you just get to dump on the next person, so I guess it works for you, but if one of my people sent a hatchet job in for code review they can expect to get an earful until they do it right.
Lead developer here. The license is LGPLv3; sorry for any confusion.

The Aerospace Corporation specifically wanted a weak copyleft license for SatCat5. i.e., If you use it as-is in a larger design, great; if you modify it, please make those improvements available to the wider community. A full GPL license would have imposed copyleft obligations on the rest of the end-user design, and we felt that was too much of a barrier for industry adoption. Our intent is to capture improvements to SatCat5 itself and only those improvements.

Others here have mentioned that terms like "compilation unit" are ambiguous at best in an FPGA or ASIC design, and I fully agree. Sadly, there just weren't a lot of widely-known, weak-copyleft options when we were making that decision in mid-2019.

The good news is this isn't set in stone and it can be changed. CERN-OHL-W 2.0 wasn't around when we first published this in 2019, but I'll take a close look and see if that's a better fit.
Prove that competitive pressures reduce margins and unbound risk reduces investment? Sorry but you just have to understand how the world works: This is a natural consequence of people having multiple choices and picking the best one.

Maybe not that exact pretext, but I can certainly point towards similar things done by the US military and intelligence agencies. Look at Iraq and "enhanced interrogation" in Guantanamo Bay. Go back a few more years, and we can observe cases where unethical experimentation was done on America's own citizens (e.g., MKUltra, the Tuskegee experiments, etc).
I guess my adversion to it is that there is always the side eye you have to give it. its not a reliable source of information, so if you have to check it against another source anyhow all the time, whats the point of bothering with it to begin with? sometimes its easier to have some boring database search tool, or to talk to someone directly.
In a systemd-boot setup there is no "boot partition", encrypted or otherwise. There is an EFI partition that contains the systemd-boot EFI binary and the UKI binary, and it is a regular unencrypted FAT32 partition.

The UKI will contain kernel + initramfs to be able to mount your encrypted root partition as `/`, using regular cryptsetup, not the special low-perf code used by grub.

And to be clear, this is how UEFI boot would work even if you didn't have systemd-boot and had your firmware directly boot the UKI.
