For what it's worth, I've been using a BabyFace Pro on Mac for years, ADAT-connected to an RME rack ADC/DAC to enable all available audio channels, and it's been as rock-solid as any hardware I've ever owned.

Note that, while the BabyFace Pro doesn't have native Linux or BSD drivers, it does have a USB class-compliant mode that, while feature-limited compared to the proprietary drivers, may be sufficient for DAW use — AFAIK, the primary limitation is limited control over the hardware mixer, so problematic if you need low-latency monitoring of multiple input channels simultaneously, but possibly irrelevant otherwise.

There's also a full-featured iPad mixer app that works in class-compliant mode, so full control is at least theoretically possible, lack of published details notwithstanding, and there appears to be at least some support for this in the Linux kernel,

Idk, the tech seems to be accelerating rapidly to me. Where were we 5 years ago?
Alternately, you can just stick close to standards and not really worry about it.

I write plain CSS.

I use Web Components as my unit of isolation, generally sticking with the light dom.

I have a small state utility [1] that I wrote years ago and works great.

I do have a build step before deployment, but I use vite during development so I have zero "make a change, wait, test, rinse, repeat" downtime. When it's time to deploy, vite build does the trick nicely.

I don't use frameworks. I don't use JSX. I don't use typescript, for types I use jsdoc in vscode which gives me 90% of the benefits of TS without the downsides.

My pages are light, fast and easy to maintain. I don't have to deal with painful build steps, or framework churn.

Debugging is simple. No multiple layers of transforms and sourcemaps, WYSIWYG.

I'm pretty passionate about the "keep it simple" philosophy.

I chose to innovate in the problem domain, not the technical one.

Anecdotally, I had a new developer join my team and he was initially very confused. He said "it's just so strange using this tech stack. You make a change, and you see it..."

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Ahh, sweet gotcha you found there fella.
I don't think I need to explain to you the difference between members of the British government declaring Australia Terra-Nulius (with approximately 0 outcry from their citizens) and some bozo deciding that all Indigenous Australians don't believe in science. If you cant see the difference it's only because you choose not to.
Citation needed. Trump has changed his party affiliation five times. I doubt you can put him in any corner which highlights how useless those labels are. Especially when the opinions required for getting a label change from year to year.
> I'll respond with a European perspective.

I'm old enough to have seen the internet evolve in the UK, and as usual the US dominates it and screws it up for the whole planet.

I'm surrounded by USAF, and pro American brits because they get employed by the US Mil, and their extremist mentality grinds you down.

So I really do hope the EU starts putting the US and UK in its place, and failing that Russia or even China because there are some very toxic people running these countries, getting away with murder.
There is one issue not mentioned in the article: authors of "old" tech quite often abandon it while developing a fancy new version, so the choice is not the imaginary one between old and new, the choice is real between abandoned and not-yet-ready.

Abandonment would not be a problem in a stable environment (see, Clojure libraries last touched in 2014 don't need any maintenance, and old Go libraries usually need just a bit of touch-up), but in a chaotic environment of most other languages abandoned library bitrots immediately.
I think that.

I think those people distract and soothe themselves from their inability to enact change with linguistic games.
Fair point, but on the other hand, if language policing leads the American Medical Association to make decisions which decrease the quality of medical care, I'm not enthusiastic about that. The relative importance of the opinions of everyday people vs these associations is not obvious.

Re: "the edifices from which actual powers spring" -- if you want a high-paying job as a doctor, maybe you'll be best served by adopting their language guidelines.

There are only two types of gametes, and two reproductive classes capable of producing them. Everyone — even rare intersex individuals — can only belong to one reproduction class or the other. There is no documented case of a true hermaphrodite capable of reproducing as both male and female.
Hell, most of it originates in the US, where we practice our cultural imperialism and force everyone else to bow to our ever evolving norms and sensibilities based upon our own country's fucked up history.
Quickcheck tests are especially easy to use in cases where you wrote code that operates in two directions. For example, saving then loading a file should result in the same data, or a round-trip through a conversion process shouldn't modify the data. Alternatively, if there are two paths to do something, you can verify they are identical, for example saving a file and loading it compared to online syncing a file to a server, should result in the same file on the other end.
> At this point, we have not been able to identify, from our telemetry, the exact distribution channel used to deploy the bootkit to victims. The low number of BlackLotus samples we have been able to obtain, both from public sources and our telemetry, leads us to believe that not many threat actors have started using it yet. [0]

Right now, we don't know how it gets its way to the target.

But, we do know that it comes in the form of an installer, which then requires a system reboot to enable persistence, and then another reboot to do its actual job.

> In all subsequent boots, the self-signed UEFI bootkit is executed and deploys both its kernel driver and user-mode payload, the HTTP downloader. Together, these components are able to download and execute additional user-mode and driver components from the C&C server and protect the bootkit against removal

At that time we were in the habit of doing big group dinners but we had ramped up from 4 or 6 people to 10 or 12 being common and, that night, 16ish. Organizing dinners and getting people to come out is a muscle to train, like any other. It snowballs as people from the last time talk up the next.
Human female.

And if you’re looking for a scientific definition of female, it’s

”an organism that in sexual maturity produces ova (large gametes (reproductive cells))”

(Therefore, sex is binary. Also, there is no sensible, consistent definition of gender, making it nonsense.)
Incidentally not all mammals have nipples. Male kangaroos don't.
You are correctly. I was imprecise. They were trusting another company to peer for them. They thought they were purchasing "CDN services". The problem is that one of those companies was Cogent. Cogent prides itself with settlement-free peering. But since Netflix put so much traffic onto Cogent's network, it caused traffic to push beyond the peering agreements. Cogent didn't want to pay for peering. Once Netflix took on peering themselves, things went much, much better and the customers have been pretty happy ever since.

If Netflix understood peering from the beginning, they wouldn't have ran into these issues and might have saved themselves some money.

Peering is what saved the Internet back in the late 90's through early 2000's and proved Metcalfe wrong. People using the Netflix problem to push for NN were wrong.
There are two different types of covered entities - providers, and those providing services to providers.

My daughter required heart surgery when she was 24mo. Overall price billed to insurance for everything was about $250k, including several pre-surgery procedures (MRIs, cardiac cath, etc). I believe we paid about $7k after insurance.

My son is currently on isoretinoin (Accutane generic) for systemic acne. Because of the severe side effects isoretinoin can have, they force you to come in for an office visit / check-in monthly, and only dole out the meds one month at a time (no refills). Thus far, we've received from our pharmacy prescriptions from three different manufacturers, ranging in price (to us, post insurance) from $7 to $120. Pre-insurance prices are in the $500-700/mo range. There seems to be no rhyme nor reason for these dramatic monthly fluctuations ... so if we can't even get something like this to be predictable and simple, what hope is there for treatments requiring complex care?

From the official analysis [0]:

> The next feature deactivated by the installer is BitLocker Drive Encryption. The reason for this is that BitLocker can be used in a combination with Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to ensure that various boot files and configurations, including Secure Boot, haven’t been tampered with since BitLocker drive encryption was configured on the system. Considering that the installer modifies the Windows boot chain on a compromised machine, keeping BitLocker on for systems with TPM support would lead to a BitLocker recovery screen at the next bootup and would tip the victim off that the system had been compromised.

How? What type of 2FA are you talking about? Is there any that does this that many people use?

The only thing I know that does encryption with 2FA is https://keepass.info/plugins.html#otpkeyprov . But I highly doubt it has much usage. It's going to be annoying typing in a 2FA every time you decrypt your password database (I decrypt my password database maybe 10 times per day). More concerningly, if you press the button on your 2FA device (this is HOTP, which requires you to press a button to get a new code) too many times, or typo the 2FA too many times, you can permanently lose access to your database because the HOTP device will advance past the point that the database supports.

So yes, it's a choice that can be made, but it has very major downsides.
More like a separate field without the old wisdom.
You'd like it to be like that. A wrong done. A bad person. So you can white knight, right? Feel relief that you're not the bad you fear you are, and feel important. But, maybe instead of trying to "protect" women from imagined wrongs that you're so eager to pretend other people are doing, you should try hanging out with a more diverse set of women--and I'm sure eventually you'll observe someone either angry enough or laughing enough that you'll see something like I've seen in my wide and diverse experience with women.

Everything you're projecting on here has nothing to do with me, it's all just what you invented with your mind. Rather than trying to impose that projection on other people, and pretend someone else is "wrong" you should look at why you're wrong for trying to do that. Thanks!
Props to RDS team - they keep those databases updated. Anyone here who can figure out how far behind they are in months cs released db versions - for my workloads I’ve been impressed
This looks great and congratulations on the alpha launch! Reminds me of another open source project in this space, NocoDB. Are you guys familiar with that project? If so, what are the main differences between them and what you are offering?
Hehe, thanks, I know about Blind Fury, Daredevil, and See No Evil, Hear No Evil...

As I am embedded in a visual culture, I do consume movies from time to time, so there is actually no reason to be self-conscious about mentioning media products like that...

And yet we cannot tame it.

I understand the objection - clearly the Mississippi is not sentient, does not consciously choose what to do. It's a collection of matter that obeys the statistical laws of physics. Clearly the intuitive sense of the word 'agency' does not fit, at least to me. I think of agency as having the capacity for decision. But when I look at my dictionary, I see this definition first: "Faculty or state of acting or of exerting power; action, instrumentality".

We certainly cannot stop the Mississippi from flowing; is that not an exertion of power?
Holy hell…is that real?!
I used to do this (for about a week), but I'm in school and am constantly learning new things and ways of doing stuff and quickly got overwhelmed. How do you separate the wheat from the chaff and focus on worthwhile topics?
Well, I guess you're not experienced enough. You're probably just mad that I'm free enough to say whatever I see, but you don't feel you can, owing to imagined restrictions in the language you feel is imposed upon you. Well, rather than taking it out on me, and pretending I'm wrong and you're right, why don't you see how you're the wrong one for trying to take that out on me...and just free yourself? Say what you want, rather than feeling to scared too and trying to police others owing to your own restriction. :) THank you :D
Thanks!

This is rapidly getting into "justified true belief" territory.

Let's say you have concrete definitions of man and woman (and as many additional categories as you please). You see a person and believe they fall into one category. As it turns out, you are wrong, and they are actually in another category.

That you miscategorized someone has no bearing on the validity (or lack thereof) of your definitions.
And its the govts that enable the tax havens, citing if they dont, some other govt will, ergo all govts are criminal in so many ways.
While gun owners come in all shapes and sizes there are many that are quite overt about the gun(s) they are carrying - from actual open carry to various stickers on their vehicles to this list of website users. It’s probably not difficult to track gun enthusiasts online from sites they visit and such.

I have to imagine that very few gun owners in the US actually get to defend themselves (beyond just brandishing when threatened and such) and would probably be easily defeated with a small group of individuals that “got the drop on them”.

This would probably be useful for criminals that are looking for throw away guns that aren’t associated with them.

That being said you have to go and actually get them. So maybe this makes it easier to rob owners of poorly securely firearms when they’re away from their home or just directly rob them when they’re by themself in public.

At the end of the day it probably doesn’t change the calculus that much. You should probably assume that most strangers in public are unreasonable and may be armed (in the US) so you’re better off leaving them alone.

If you want to steal someone’s gun and use it for criming then this could be useful - or just follow the guy with the NRA stickers on their truck somewhere and overpower them.
It's a weird choice that this library makes some JS APIs more strict, and others less strict. Specifically, the changes to JSON/Array.isArray make sense, the value is unknown, and coercing it to any encourages leaking that type further, or runtime errors. However, the changes to includes/Set basically amount to "I said that this array contained this enum, but I changed my mind when I wrote this if statement". This actually allows more bugs to slip through, rather than fewer.
Your claim about needing the primary online to failiover to the secondary is untrue, at least not for all Postgres operators.

>All of these "shouldn't people have the freedom to volunteer for this?" comments are vastly underestimating how much thought FDA regulators put into decisions like this; how much data they examine; how many hours were spent developing a process for these kinds of trials.

But instead of landing with the big bang Meta hoped for, Galactica has died with a whimper after three days of intense criticism. Yesterday the company took down the public demo that it had encouraged everyone to try out.

I think the difficulty will be teaching tricks to the AI, or making them output actions in the right format.

Pygmalion + Tavern/Kobold can run a very convincing chatbot with personality on about 10GiB of VRAM, even better with more. The less VRAM you dedicate, the easier the model runs.

For about a thousand dollars you can get an NVIDIA A4000 with 16GiB of VRAM. The GPU isn't particularly fast, but VRAM seems much more important with these models anyway. Gaming GPUs (which perform worse on ML tasks but are still equipped with plenty of VRAM) cost more but are already in the hands of high-end home desktop users.

The hardware is ready and available for those wanting to get started. All you need to do is find a way to connect the output of the AI into some kind of smart home system+interact with cron jobs. A few weekends with the Home Assistant API may be enough to get most things done already.

The only thing I haven't seen open source AIs do is look for information online, like Bing Chat does.

Respectfully, I don't think writing spaghetti code is the key to immortality. While it might be fun and interesting, spaghetti code can be difficult to maintain and debug. It's also not the most efficient way to write code. Clean code is important for readability and maintainability, which will make your code more efficient in the long run.
