As the international whaling ban has demonstrated, it doesn’t matter if one or two bad actors (even large and powerful ones like Japan and Norway) don’t comply, as long as the majority and the most powerful nations do. Many whale species became critically endangered and it looked for a moment like they all would and we would simply loose whales from our oceans. That didn’t happen because the world came together and made the decision to kill the whaling industry instead of the whales.

With regards to global warming the responsibility of inaction lies solely on one bad actor, the USA, and only [initially] one political sub-faction in the USA. In 1997 all the world (including USA and China) came together and approved the Kyoto protocol, and made this painful discussion that would deeply affect our fossil fuel industry but save our climate. It was on its way to be ratified everywhere, public support was in its favor, so was the Clinton Administration, all European powers, and the Communist Party of China. Everybody agreed that the cost of climate change was greater than the benefits of cheap energy.

However at some point the oil industry in the USA fought against it, it got stalled in the USA senate and finally killed by the George Bush administration, in order to save their fossil fuel industry. If the USA hadn’t killed it, and even if they would have only half-assed the implementation, and even though China would come to ignore it, we would still be much further along the way of reducing our emissions.

You see, the world can come together and make painful decisions that affects all of us. It has done so multiple times in the past (even with respects to climate change) and it will in the future. It is really only because a certain industry has a disproportional hold over a certain country’s discourse that despite these agreements we have failed to act.

I see. We do have good systems, but too few to be of practical relevance in most threat situations.

The North Korea case shows that the step from having one missile to having 100 is extremely short compared to going from having no missiles to having one missile.

A good book about systemic corruption is Thieves of State by Sarah Chayes, here's a long review that also discusses the topic: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/01/19/corruption-rev...

For example Egypt is like GP's explanation, that's why when the Arab Spring happened, cops were beating up protestors; the cops were part of the corrupt system and were eager to defend it/themselves.
And that was recently demonstrated in Ukraine, where a Patriot battery fired 32 missiles against incoming targets[1], but got hit nonetheless. It looks to me like missile defence works well in very unbalanced situations, such as Hezbollah's home-made rockets against Israeli Iron Dome, but is easily saturated when against a roughly equal adversary.

[1] IIRC Ukrainians and US say there were 29 incoming missiles; Russians say there were 6 or may be 9 (unsure). Both numbers are probably made up, and truth is probably in the middle, 12 to 18 or so.

Amalaki (Sanskrit) / amla (Hindi) / nellikai (Tamil) / Indian gooseberry is said to be good for acidity in Ayurveda. The fruit part of the plant, phyllanthus emblica, IIRC. Very widely used in India in different forms for many ailments. There is amla eaten raw, amla juice, amla murabba (a sort of sweet dried or wet candy), amla in honey (just had it today), in triphala, etc. Rich in Vitamin C and has many benefits.

I use it.

Triphala, another Ayurvedic remedy, is said to be a general-purpose cleanser / gut detoxifier/ digestive tonic.
Very commonly prescribed by Ayurvedic doctors.

> Back to coding like caveman! Harumph

You can easily find helpful coding resources like Stackoverflow, blogs, and forums through a simple Google search. Relying solely on one source is not advisable, I think. Cloudflare, AWS, and now OpenAI are all central clouds. This is why we need independent forums, StackOverflow, blogs, etc. Otherwise, it is yet another monopoly. Anyway, it's always important to explore multiple options for accurate information. At least, that is how I do it. YMMV.
That's certainly a... stance.... Personally I'd like to know that the force we put hundreds of billions of dollars towards every year does have an effect.

Apparently the Patriot system that got hit only suffered minor damage and is repaired and back up and running now. I wonder if it was perhaps hit by some debris? But it is hard to speculate through the fog of war.

They might not do that in Rust, they do in Haskell, JavaScript and plenty of others.
This is anyway a niche market on Linux - you can go really far with gnome/kde default terminals, and even slimmer ones like xterm/urxvt/st are more than enough to perform all the necessary tasks.

Perhaps, on Mac, you badly need an alternate terminal app , because the default one is unbearably slow.

Are all within an edit distance of 4 from pip, and would all be blocked.

Besides 'dependecy confusion' is not typo-squatting at all. It is about having a public package that masks the name of a private package repo. The default behavior of pip is to then use the public repo, which can let outsiders who know internal package names totally take over those internal packages.

I'm sorry, I clearly haven't explained myself well as otherwise you would not have wasted a huge amount of text tying yourself in knots based clearly on a mistaken apprehension of what I was saying.

For clarity I reproduce the original function you gave and then I present what the change I am suggesting is

def cool_function(x):
for i in range(x):
print(i)

My change

def cool_function(x, output_stream=sys.stdout):
for i in range(x):
print(i, file=output_stream)

Does it now become clear what I am suggesting? My new function can be used as a 1-for-1 replacement for the old function, no code of the system needs changed as the default value provided to the new variable ensures semantically identical operation without changing any further code. Yet it is now unit testable

But now we can write a unit test like

def test_output():
output = io.StringIO()
cool_function(1, output)
contents = output.getvalue()
assert contents=="1\n"

So I've made the code unit testable, kept semantics completely identical and not had to worrty about any weird IO concerns that you have. No monkey patching, no weird file IO, no bizarelly re-implemnting list(range(x)).

This is also an essential component of a planetary asteroid defence system.

One could theoretically tune the power and wavelength of the beam such that it's highly destructive in space and the upper atmosphere, but mostly a nuisance on the ground.
We really don’t know enough about that incident to draw any conclusions from it. Russians said the Patriot was destroyed by their missile, US said it was minor damage from debris and was operational again within 24 hours. I’m sure at some point we’ll know what happened, but not for quite a while.

> I'm not sure I'd call three subpoenas "a string of subpoenas" even if it's technically correct

I would if the sequence was such that the receipt of eachbof thr subsequebt ones delayed writeup of the overall incident in the interest of completeness or because there was some relationship between them

> 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?

Because you are doing an aggregate writeup of a series of events and you want to convey when they occurred and why you are able to do a detailed writeup.

> Holy crap. A tape backup solution that doesn't allow the tape to be read by any other PC? That's madness.

What is needed is the backup catalog. This is fairly standard on a lot of tape-related software, even open source; see for example "Bacula Tape Restore Without Database":

* http://www.dayaro.com/?p=122

When I was still doing tape backups the (commercial) backup software we were using would e-mail us the bootstrap information daily in case we had to do a from-scratch data centre restore.

The first step would get a base OS going, then install the backup software, then import the catalog. From there you can restore everything else. (The software in question allowed restores even without a license (key?), so that even if you lost that, you could still get going.)

When my kids ask me why they should learn to write since they can just use AI, I'll remind them of outages like this. I understand that we rely on calculators and don't memorize as much arithmetic as we used to. But we never had to worry about a coordinated 'calculator outage', where access to calculation was unavailable.

It makes sense to use these tools, but we need to remember that we revert back to our human ability level when they are offline. We should still invest in our own human skills, and not assume that these tools will always be available. There will be minor outages like these, and in the case of cyber attacks, war or other major disruptions, they could be offline for longer periods of time.

These were short range ballistic and cruise missiles, which are an entirely different category of threats compared to ICBM delivery vehicles. The difference between Mach 5 and Mach 23 is significant for interceptors, obviously. Patriot is not able to intercept ICBM warheads for that reason.
Good point.

Anecdotally, though, I have the opposite experience. Python libraries changing API under my feet regularly (without support from the type system to help me find out how), core features that I depend on not being available in any maintained library and vulnerabilities.

It is entirely possible that my experience is biased, of course.

Out of curiosity, can you think of a module that is part of Python's standard distribution and is not available in Rust as a well-maintained crate?
I think the claim is true, I also think that a lot of missiles would get through.

A baseball analogy, an excellent, best in the world baseball batter will hit 4 out of every ten balls thrown at him. that is still an awful lot of balls that get through.

For real world numbers note how well Israel does against all the ballistic missiles thrown at them, also note that these are slow short range ballistic missiles.
It's interesting that you say "move on" when lots of the reviews I read said it was a step backward in terms of depth and graphics quality.
I agree, and while I don't have any real evidence of this, my suspicion is that dangerous drug use is contributing to vastly higher rates of mental illness in our society.

There have been a few articles speculating that new manufacturing methods for methamphetamine are inducing psychoses in a lot of people: https://www.opb.org/article/2022/08/04/oregon-mental-health-...

And I wouldn't be surprised if new drugs like fentanyl cut with traq and other substances are contributing to this situation as well: https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/horrific-new-street-d...

You make the great point that there are several different cohorts involved here, and I think that one of the biggest differentiators there is around illegal drug use.

I can only speak for myself and some of my friends and some neighbors but I have been moving back to brick-and-mortar businesses for a while now as have some in my circle. The only thing I semi-depend on that is not in the US is email and I keep backup servers ready to swing DNS should that provider go sideways. This has not been anything to do with AI or other recent events but rather watching the internet lean progressively harder into corporate capture for a few decades now and also watching governments go soft on businesses that operate too cavalier with sensitive data. My mistrust actually started to grow in the late 90's after fighting the department of defense on DNA gathering. It grew more when I worked for a wireless phone provider, then exponentially more when I worked in tech.

I can not trust businesses to not stab me in the back so now I almost exclusively do business with people I can see face to face. Even with brick and mortar I limit myself to small companies that are avoiding getting involved in social and political issues. I want my bankers to be grumpy no-BS goblins straight out of Gringotts.
