Is there way to read magnetic tapes like these in such a way as to get the raw magnetic flux at high resolution?

It seems like it would be easier to process old magnetic tapes by imaging them and then applying signal processing rather than finding working tape drives with functioning rollers. Most of the time, you're not worried about tape speed since you're just doing recovery read rather than read/write operations. So, a slow but accurate operation seems like it would be a boon for these kinds of things.
Maybe try broadening your perception? The idea that more people are aware of inequality and feel it’s sting doesn’t seem like a clear through line to “hurting people who do get oppressed” if anything my anecdata has found that because of increased feeling of inequality more people
I know are supporting strikes of people across pay lines. Maybe the issue here is your judgement not other people’s feelings?

Vendor lock in for backup and archival products is so ridiculous. It increases R&D to ensure the lock-in, and the company won't exist by the time the lock-in takes effect.
> It might be surprising that DDoS providers could advertise openly on the Web. After all, DDoSing another website is illegal everywhere. To get around this, these “booter services” have long argued they perform a legitimate function: providing those who set up Web pages a means to stress test websites.

This reminded me of a Wired article[1] from a few weeks back that argued that many of the kids using these services to DDoS their friends/rivals don't realize they're illegal—so federal agencies are taking out keyword ads to warn potential users:

> In fact, he and other members of [cybercrime-busting group] Big Pipes argue that most booter customers seem to believe—or convince themselves—that merely paying to use one of the services to knock out an adversary’s internet connection isn’t against the law, or at least isn’t an enforceable crime. When the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) ran a six-month Google advertising campaign in 2018 to intercept people seeking booter services and warn them about their illegality, Clayton’s research group found that attack traffic in the UK remained flat for those six months, while it increased at its usual pace in other countries.

> In the years since, law enforcement agencies seem to have learned from that experiment: The FBI now also buys similar Google advertisements to warn potential booter customers that paying for the services is a crime. The UK’s NCA, meanwhile, has not only launched new advertising campaigns but even run its own fake booter services to identify would-be customers and then send them warnings—sometimes even with in-person visits—about the consequences of paying for criminal DDOS attacks.

This is pretty ironic in a thread about the misuse of the term "caramelize".

It's not steaming if you put water into the food directly. It's simply ... cooking, or maybe simmering/stewing.
I'm not sure I'd call three subpoenas "a string of subpoenas" even if it's technically correct. But I'm more talking about specifically mentioning that the subpoenas from March and April 2023 don't have a gag order. Why mention those months specifically if in the other months they didn't receive any? The natural thing would have been to end the sentence six words earlier.

To 95% of the mankind (cant believe i have to keep repeating this here, but folks here clearly think in US-only style often, regardless of their IQ, without realizing that what goes around comes around, without exception), CIA has definitely been a net loss and/or force of adding evil and fucking up entire vast regoins for generations, to exploit them easily later. There are so many stories out there, verified, even from their own people with some core moral values, its ming-boggling and definitely easier to just ignore to avoid depression.

Maybe some good is currently being done on Ukraine, but that would be just because russian top management is a pile of amoral dictatorial shit that is actually more stupid and more aggressive (which is always a very dangerous mix, especially with all those natural resources needed everywhere) than everybody thought. But thats just to subvert and bleed an old adversary for future power games, not some altruism. Real help would be much quicker to deliver and definitely possible, now its just as fast that Ukraine side doesnt collapse from lack of armaments and russians bleed people and resources for as long as possible.
Yeah, I suppose the main point, about religion incorporating real wisdom, like meditation, or not eating pork (parasites), was subtracted from by the last sentence. I agree.

I think there is something to look at here. What if Muslims, through bending over for prayer, did have less gastric distress/acid reflux. That would be interesting to see with this study.

I'm wondering whether one can get these notifications through netlink. Not having any way to get the kinds of feedback you're mentioning from a stateful thing is horrible user experience. It doesn't need to cover the firewall part, mtu rejects, etc. Because if it's actually modular, you're supposed to be able use the usual tools (/proc/net and /sys/net for stats and netlink for firewall logs?), hopefully they're usable...
That doesn't make any sense though. What benefit would DOJ get from getting the IP address of everyone who downloaded ytp-dlp? They aren't the enforcement arm of google's terms of service, which is a civil matter.

Even if they were, and the DOJ was going for a dragnet operation to go after tools that could potentially infringe terms of service of big corporations, they would go after every tool and every fork. Not just 1 package. But again, what court would allow such action and why?

If I was in the DOJ and was investigating a malicious package uploaded to PyPI, I would ask for the IP's of the downloaders to see if the uploaders dun goofed and downloaded their package shortly after uploading off VPN. Or to find out if any major corporations were impacted by downloading the malicious package and to inform them.
Delighting in Others’ Downfall: The Neuroscience of Schadenfreude
I've always admired the tenacity of people who reverse engineer stuff. To be able to spend multiple months figuring out barely documented technologies with no promise of success takes a lot a willpower and discipline. It's something I wish I could improve more in myself.
I believe you're looking at the situation incorrectly.

An unoccupied car doesn't need to be swarmed with firearms. It's a car; its not going to shoot you. Its not great that the car was misidentified but the response by the police wasn't appropriate even if it was identified correctly.

Tracking nightmare is not the real problem; it's the abuse of power.
multiple things can be true: SFPD is a borderline PAC at this point and does nothing, and the DAs office was reaching incredible amounts of incompetence under the previous DA, rivaled only by the rest of sf's government. whether it was literally showing up to court unprepared and getting chewed out by judges, being tone deaf towards certain communities, or seeming extremely aloof and nonchalant in the face of real crime concerns (blaming republicans doesn't work when there are like 3 of them in SF)

i don't trust the current DA's office either bc she was appointed by our incompetent mayor + is very cozy with the sfpd w/o recusing herself from cases involving them.
Tangentially related question:
I've always wondered why afterburners on more modern Soviet/Russian engines seem to glow blue, while European or American jets seem to have a more orangey glow. Anyone here know why?
I suspect most content publishers would go to the source. If there are people who are already willing to pay for subscriptions and ignore the terms of those subscriptions, it's not much of a stretch that they'll ignore the fact that they got their subscription cancelled once (or twice, or however many times). The publisher would more likely see results taking legal action against the archivist.
Crime reduction is a multi-year cycle. Criminal cases are a six month to multi-year process. Putting more "bad guys" in jail eventually reduces crime as well as the chilling effect of "I knew a guy who did this and is still in jail so I won't do it."

San Francisco and California in general still have a lot of additional work that needs to be done to now empower the DA (they can obviously only enforce what is law).

This bit from the Chronicle I think sums up the DA change and its effect on policing: "A previous Chronicle analysis showed officers immediately made more stops after Jenkins was appointed, and the District Attorney’s Office’s data shows that has translated into more arrests. The D.A. data shows that police have presented about 100 more arrests to the office each month on average (about 755 a month) since she assumed office than the last months of Boudin’s tenure (640 a month). This increase didn’t happen in any of the past three summers, suggesting it’s not a seasonal pattern." https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/brooke-jenkins-chesa-...
Not sure I'd classify Lenovo as a durable good in the strictest sense of the word.

I know many who overpayed for a Lenovo laptop only to find, it was intentionally made incompatible with Linux (microcontrollers between core components), the firmware updates from a legitimate source would brick the battery charger, the hardware under limited use would fail within the warranty period (1 year, from GPU overheating), and a number of other issues.

I'll never buy a Lenovo again after this, and my experience has been common based on what others have said. This has nothing to do with the pandemic and everything to do with quality of product that was released at a premium price. They made their sales initially, but they burned their brand down in the process.
I don't know the answer to your question, but I appreciate the "no-brainer" pun there.
I know I keep repeating this, but...

Rust does not have a massive threshold. Memory management has a massive threshold. Rust just has a lot of safety rails you might keep bumping into if you struggle with memory management. The fact that other languages let you drive off the cliff doesn't mean they have a smaller threshold.
Self-Host with Docker Compose. No thanks. I hope open source projects move away from Docker and move towards a single executable binary like PocketBase.

Bit of advice:
If you are ever moving RAM, wear gloves. Looks just like anechoic foam, but has the capacity to carry very sharp bits and cut you up.
Telnet is not used really at all anymore. Most distributions come without it, or have it disabled by default. Historically it was the only way to connect remotely, as it imitated how connections used to work over phone lines. It's definitely outdated, as SSH is now the defacto.

They most certainly would deny you in Massachusetts (not that my town has a dump; I have a dumpster) and none of the consumer recycling places like Best Buy will take TVs over about 35 inches or so. You'd have to trek around to find a commercial recycler and, at that point, I'm just going to stick it in the back of my garage until the end of time.

In any case a more significant project than I need to take on right now. What I have is fine.

GIS seems interesting but it also doesnt seem like it pays well. Being niche isn't bad per-se but I would expect it to be more lucrative.

In some ways it seems like GIS is to software engineering as business analyst is to data science. Not in nicheness, because business analyst isnt so niche. But doesn't pay as well and less programming, more GUI/business tools.

The inability to tune a fish was first documented in the original 4.2BSD man page for tunefs(8),

https://www.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=4.2BSD/usr/man/ma...

and is still present in most BSD-derived tunefs implementations, e.g.,

https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=tunefs&apropos=0&s...

AFAICT, this restriction does not apply to versions of tunefs provided by System V and its derivatives, e.g.,

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E86824_01/html/E54764/tunefs-1m.h...

As with many things in UNIX, the ability to tune a fish is implementation-dependent, and testing is recommended before using it in production on any given platform.
how about before doing that, sfpd starts doing basic stuff like foot patrols in targeted neighborhoods, dealer arrests, and bait cars? start working with primitive tools and then gain access to more advanced ones as you reach bottlenecks.

"Outdated" is a reasonable moniker for devices that accept cleartext telnet over the open Internet. That you can retrofit security onto telnet by running it over a TLS tunnel is not especially relevant, nor does it make telnet less outdated; secure devices are better off just using SSH.

What makes a protocol outdated? I would argue that outdated protocols "bake in" outdated assumptions. The telnet protocol has a builtin assumption that the network is secure, while newer protocols for remote administration lack this assumption and assume an actively malicious network.
I haven't connected an Apple TV, but do you really need a raspi4? I use a 3B as a Tailscale exit node mostly just for shitposting and browsing, so maybe for streaming stuff you need the extra throughput?
They're still risking getting a huge bill. Hoping your risk gets mitigated by a company trying to avoid bad PR isn't a gamble I would take.
First of all, I think "embedding Matlab like DSL in C++" is never a good idea. You will be re-inventing Python or Julia, but with less features and more bugs. If you want to go C++, the best thing than engineers can do is to pre-create nice C++ dev environment, set up all the relevant libraries (Eigen/BLAS/Sophus) and give nice, clear examples of modern readable C++ and recommended language features. And then support the scientists with C++ questions. And I cannot overstate how important "recommended language features" is: modern C++ can be almost as concise as Python... but there is also a huge number of older C++ examples which do not use it and do things the hard way. (And yes, this is a great reason to avoid C++ in new projects)

The decision also depends on your application. For example if you have your usual ETL pipeline or a batch job, held together with bash and duct tape, then use Julia (or Cython, or Numba) by all means. Especially if script exits after each job, and script inputs/outputs are using common mechanisms, like files or SQL databases.

But I have also worked on C++ codebases which were distributed and latency-sensitive. In those cases, the numeric code might be a small part, and most of the code is input/output, logging and error handling, ensuring distributed consistency, and so on. I would never dream of embedding any other language there, not Python nor Cython nor Julia.

# K-12 kids killed (specifically in this case shot dead) at school in the U.S. in a given year / # K-12 kids total who go to school

This: https://www.census.gov/data/tables/2020/demo/school-enrollme...

Makes it look like there are 55,548,000 K-12 kids enrolled in school in the U.S. in 2020

This: https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator/a01
Makes it look like there are between 12 and 35 homicides of kids 5-18 years of age at school per year in the years 1992-2019.

The average of 12 and 35 is 23.5, call it 24 kids on average murdered at school per year in the United States in recent years.

Note that this is not quite correct because it includes murders other than shootings, so it's a little inflated. But anyway.

Also note they say, "“At school” includes on the property of a functioning elementary or secondary school, on the way to or from regular sessions at school, and while attending or traveling to or from a school-sponsored event. In this indicator, the term “at school” is comparable in meaning to the term “school-associated." So again, it's going to be a little inflated because a bunch of these are going to be murders that people wouldn't intuitively understand to be a school shooting (e.g., kid murdered on the way to school in gang crossfire).

Okay, so 24 / 55,548,000 = 0.000043% chance per year of dying in a school shooting for a given U.S. child who attends school, all else being equal.

And of course, all else isn't equal. School shootings aren't random, and are much more common in the types of environments other shootings are common (poor cities, high % black populations, gangs, etc.).

For context, about 520 kids 5-19 die via drowning in the U.S. per year, making it about 22x the risk of being killed at school, all else being equal.

(https://wisqars.cdc.gov/data/explore-data/explore/selected-y... for death by drowning)

Edit: this data makes it seem like 11.5 or so deaths per year rather than 24 (because it's shootings specifically, I think), and gives more colour: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_th...
Differing Startup Goals Between Nikita Bier (Gas) and Emmett Shear (Twitch)
The ease of doing something and the efficiency at which you do that thing are entirely unrelated in terms of accomplishing the thing.

Cooking eggs is easy. You can get more efficient by cracking eggs better for instance but is that going to save anything? Maybe a few seconds. Is that meaningful? No. Cooking tends more often to fall into that category than the other.

As you get better at cooking overall, you'll get more efficient. It's the same for nearly any other skill. So don't bother optimizing for efficiency unless it's your job - you'll get there eventually anyway.
You can write almost exactly what you wrote, if you prefer

fn main() {
let args = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

for arg in &args[1..] {
println!("{arg}");

Climate activism is also being considered an act of terrorism by some now (particularly some Christian party in Germany), dunno if those people label themselves as 'very bad persons'. Probably goes for all terrorists, but this might be easier to relate to as it's grounded in reality and we'd likely agree with the change they seek

Child porn and terrorism are the favorite subjects of politicians looking to enact a new law but idk if it's good to follow that thinking and use it as an example as opposed to a serial killer or something
You sure about that? Most likely they are having an extremely measurable effect, it's just the effect is maintaining the status quo. Do you really think that the climate in Africa wouldn't change if forests were permitted to grow? Remember that climate is a complex dynamical process full of feedback loops. If anything, given the size of the landmass, allowing the savannahs to become dense forest would be a huge source of carbon capture.

Also I deny the premise that all climate change is bad prima facie, although again because complex dynamical system it can be impossible to predict the eventual outcomes. Nevertheless, a climate change like greening the Sahara could at least potentially be a net positive for humanity.

I learned it from 2 sources:

* IN/ix (16 bit UNIX) Documents. The Docs were the old UNIX documents, most were man pages

* Later I got Coherent for my 286, the book that came with it was awesome.

FWIW, OpenBSD's man pages are very good, much better that what Linux has.
I think it's a bit simplistic to assume native, already compiled code is the only payload worth considering.

The portability of wasm will be pretty excellent, and over time there may be a great cross-language ecosystem surrounding wasm that native may not match.

Wasm also seems like a potentially better target than what we have here, which seems interpetter focused. Wasm otoh might actually be able to jit/aot compile down (which the mentioned wasm3 interpretter eskews with a list of good reasons, for anyone looking for counterarguments). And likely will have more invested in the ecosystem in doing optimizations in general.
