> "read scripts before you run them" is a good bit of advice.

I always read the script and do also verify they're only using ASCII chars (and if they're not, I check which Unicode shenanigan is ongoing).

For example:

... $ file /usr/local/bin/somescript.sh
/usr/local/bin/somescript.sh: Bourne-Again shell script, ASCII text executable

FWIW most of the scripts out there are only ever using ASCII chars.
I agree. For comparison, here's how the Web was going as the WWW white paper approached its fifteenth birthday.

It’s a superset. You can run regular python, and that won’t be faster than C. But you can also write mojo functions (using “fn” instead of “def”) and those have stricter requirements and more user annotations but also more optimization potential. Mojo function could be faster than C, buts it’s not free.
Well. Eversign holds the key and promises to only use it when you authenticated by clicking the link in the email that was sent to you personally.

eIDAS was intentionally formulated to allow such signature services, making the whole thing quite pointless from a security perspective.

Globally the world is right of the US on most issues, but you're probably pretending that the rest of the world is just Europe.

I always say Apple is the best embedded software company in the world and people look at me like I'm insane. They deeply care about software and it shows (even if sometimes we don't agree with their vision). Companies tend to get too hung up on hardware and end up forgetting the software, in my opinion.
In Canada we wanted lockdowns pretty quickly and our prime minister said no and even refused to close the borders because he considered closing the borders to be racist. They tried to say border closures would have no effect on stopping covid.

Attribution seems to be largely due to changes in surface albedo. One thesis is dust from the Sahara [1], the other (from the QT) appears to be reduced sulfur emissions due to fuel composition changes [2].

Just a shallow reading seems to indicate that this effect might be the opposite -- that the removal of certain particulates has resulted in the ocean absorbing a greater fraction of solar energy rather than reflecting it into the atmosphere. This seems like a net removal of heat from the atmosphere.

JPMorgan to Shell Out $290M to Epstein's Victims
Kinda crazy how averse to ongoing costs i am. I have a 3080TI for Blender rendering and sculpting and general blender, so i definitely need something good local.. but i'm debating buying top of the line on the next iteration so i can do this stuff locally. Thousands of dollars perhaps just to avoid a $2 cost lol.
>Traditional desktop Linux allows different apps to more-or-less freely communicate with each other (called the x11 protocol).

Oh gosh. I'm getting heart palpitations :P

Is this a common attack vector then? Seems like an easy way to get an overflow error, or elevate privilege's.
Don't think it is stranger than publicly funded museums charging entrance fees.
Yeah, I'm not sure how the "thing that no one has mentioned" is literally the USP they demoed and essentially a glorified projector.

Don't get me wrong, it's cool and I'm intrigued, but 2.5D controls are about as groundbreaking as skeuomorphism.
I don't know anything about the price of the stuff, but surely carbon fiber would fit the bill for this application, no?
What? The Perl 6 debacle has gone down even worse than Python 3.
Highly disagree.

One of the clear goals of the product is to serve as an alternative to monitors. In that sense, any productivity tool (like the newly launched Final Cut Pro and Logic Studio for iPad) would immediately be extremely useful in visionOS, even if it’s not fully spatially aware.

It may not be the flagship spatial computing experience, but that doesn’t mean it should be thrown out as a “cheap trick” either. It likely is the more common experience for day to day interaction with the device, which is Apple’s goal.
> Specifically, it starts by assuming that in the face of challenges like being born in poverty, the average person would not overcome them through will or effort alone.

I would concur. Three ways out of poverty would be sports, art/music and crime (bad idea). Knowledge, luck and the right mindset and are important too. There is the book Rich Dad Poor Dad about the mindset part.
I'm interested in seeing how it works with glasses.

I know there's supposed to be some kind of custom magnetic Zeiss lenses you can pop in, but I don't fully understand how they're supposed to work — do they replace your glasses, or are they to adapt your glasses vision to an AR space.

There were a few tidbits in the iOS and watchOS portions of the recent keynote focusing on vision issues, so it's nice to see Apple taking it seriously. But I don't understand the solution.
This was partly a policy decision; after WW2 killed twenty million Russians, there was an effort to repopulate. Mothers who had a lot of children were given medals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Maternal_Glory until the 80s.

(in the West, a mother who has a lot of children supported by the state is deemed a "welfare queen" to be scorned and vilified. It is not surprising that there aren't so many of them.)
Maybe!

In the UK $100/year gets you about a 20-40w constant load*.

That's a fairly efficient machine, and then there's the router, modem etc.

Granted some of that already exists, and a Raspberry Pi or similar would fit in that budget.

* quick maths: $100/365 gives 27 cents a day or approx 1c per hour - at $0.50/kWh you have a 25w constant load and at $0.25/kWh you have 50w.
One of those computers just went out. Now how do you form your majority? Besides which, in such systems there's a governing system coordinating the election. What happens if your governing system goes out?
The ESIGN Act makes no distinction in the US between whether you cryptographically sign or digitally draw, etc., defining a signature as "an electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record."
All of those specs and not a single mention of how much this thing costs. How can any potential customer reasonably compare this to another laptop without knowing the base price?
The optics used in AR/VR headsets typically make your eyes focus as if they were looking at a point anywhere between several feet in front of you and infinity, so it shouldn't advance myopia. Hard to say about the light emitted though.
We do write to the database and the schema does change.

In out case we don't write to the same tables but that's only because data is overwritten nightly for the tables with an external source. Assuming a situation where that wasn't happening, writing data wouldn't be a problem.

As for schema changes - you just have to decide who is in charge of the schema. In this case the authoratative source would be outside of Django so you just set those tables to managed=False - the only manual task is to update your models.py when the external schema changes.
Time-series forecasting is becoming a lost art
> stuff that breaks at every python update

Eh? Python backward compatibility is excellent.

Most Python 3.3 scripts still run on 3.11. The only big breaking changes have been in asyncio, which was explicitly marked as provisional for years and if you were using it in ~3.6 you knew and were warned that things would change.

Packaging is another story, but we're talking about scripting, not distributing software.
No, that's archive.today's fault.
Main thing I want to self-host for friends, that's not served by any of a hundred chat apps:

A place to share media reviews and recommendations. Wiki-like is OK, as long as table support is great.

Difficulty: it should be able to helpfully look up and create entries for any new media it encounters, using various online sources (IMDB, The Movie Database, TVDB, maybe the Musicbrainz DB, something else authoritative-ish for video games, books, and comic books). So if you want to add a title to a table of, say, sci-fi movies, and link that to a review of same, if it's already got the movie, it should recommend it based on the title you type in, and if not, it should find likely candidates to suggest, and fill in things like release year, director, actors, et c., from outside sources, automatically, when you select one of them. It should be able to find all mentions of a given piece of media within its system, such that one could look up a page for a given, say, album, and get a list of every page where it's mentioned on the site.

It should also maintain a watched/listened/played/read list for each user, and be able to import that from places like Letterboxd.

Basically, a Wiki with smart media metadata import.

It's the only thing we want to do that's not served adequately by chat.
If by "technical debt" you mean something that requires updates and maintenance, then yes, because it's a living language. Perl has the advantage of being frozen in time, but it has the disadvantages of not being a living language: younger programmers not being prepared or willing to touch it, likely less library support for newer technologies. That constitutes technical debt as well, albeit of a different kind.
I doubt they were getting any stamps because they were inadmissible anyway. Likely never legally crossed the border.

If some are, then "everyone" has to, especially major powers. Just think about it.

I debunked what he wrote.

> the Russian strategy

What's that?

> Though this is more easily done in an authoritative country.

No. It's done more easily in a democracy. An authoritative country never developed nuked and used it on innocent civilians. It was one of those wonderful democracies. Just like a wonderful democracy and our democratic friends overthrew the ukrainian democracy and now another wonderful democracy is invading ukraine. Most of the horror in this world has been done by democracies. Funny how all parties involved in ukraine are democracies...

> Not quite true

No. Absolutely true.

> I'm not quite sure what you're getting at here.

You wrote "Contagion weapons are the weapons of those with nothing left to lose (which aren't big/rich countries, even in dire circumstances)."

And I was pointing out that all "contagion weapons" were created by big/rich countries. I was simply debunking your claim.

> But there's got to be a logical reason for well over a century of research in the area and not seeing it used in practice.

Has it not been used "in practice". Biological weapons have been used since ancient times. Biological weapons have been used more often than nuclear weapons.

The blind and naive were adamant our agencies don't collect data and spy on us. And were absolutely shocked when it was revealed they do. Of course they do. As I said, people who are too naive or too trusting believe otherwise. I guess the third option are state actors or those who brainwashed by the media. Or maybe I'm just too cynical.
many of the questionable design decisions are being lauded by this article.

It honestly terrifies me that people in this very thread are still pushing conspiracy theorys. Not just the technically possible ones ("the CCP did it all on purpose") but the just plain factually wrong ("vaccines are more deadly than covid"). Such comments remain popular.

The problem solves itself; the societies that are pro-natal will survive and the ones thay are not will die out.
Abstaining isn't sabotaging. Vegetarians aren't actively sabotaging meat production. Electricity exports from dirty plants in Germany were vital in propping up France's nuclear power grid when it was in trouble in the past year. There's plenty of sabotage potential there if there were any intention which there is not.
You guys can actually just search old Hacker News discussions and also look at old media reporting to see that this narrative of "media suppression" is just blatantly false.

GP is absolutely correct - people reacted negatively (and remind that someone not liking what you say does not mean you are censored) because people (including now in this thread) are saying that there is 'definite proof of lab leak' when that is just bull?
I mean, one of the scenarios involves a conspiracy to cover up the accidental or intentional release of a virus.

The other one doesn't involve a conspiracy of raccoon dogs to sneak a sick member into the city to punish the humans for their consumption.

It can't really be symmetrical.
Range Rover front windows are not tinted from the factory. If your range has tinted front windows, its aftermarket and its a film, not part of the glass. There's so much to the story that OP left out (was the cop eyeballing or did they use the actual tint level detector, why did the cop threaten to take his entire family to the precinct). Its not worth your time to speculate. Don't drive your car with aftermarket tint into NYC, very simple.
The irony in this story being that Imgur was originally just an image host
You can run android apps on the quest and I'm not sure people care that much.

People sound like they are over-rating how good interacting with 2d apps with goggles can be. It is "really neat", a really wow experience the first few times but it quickly gets old and things like "scratching your nose" or "drinking coffee" become far more valuable features than anything the goggles can provide.

I think we are in for a frustrating few years where the faithful go absolutely bananas over this because of the Apple brand until people quietly admit that they don't actually like having their peripheral vision filled with fake scenary or app windows or whatever. It's much nicer to see your real cat snoozing on your desk instead.
They are still using AES256 with 16 bytes of salt as far as I know.

It's good security but it's not like you can rate limit attempts or anything and password bruteforcing has gotten pretty good lately. You also have to wonder if there isn't a skeleton key of some kind hanging around, too.
Typically pop-in lenses in AR/VR headsets serve as a replacement for your glasses.
1. SCOTUS has made bad unanimous decisions before. For one, no one on the bench is an anti-capitalist, there's no 6-3 split on that matter.

2. Even if a ruling is in accordance with the law, the law itself may still be wrong. Iran courts ordering capital punishment for a gay couple is accurately upholding the law.
The folks at VictoriaMetrics have a track record of producing well-documented and easy-to-use software, and they're responsive.

It's easy to overlook these aspects but they will make all the difference to your team implementing the solution, so if you don't want to gamble, their products are a solid choice.

PS: I have no personal relation or connection with them. I am a user of VictoriaMetrics. Just want to point out things that matter but get ignored when choosing your software stack.
Oh really? Then why not just allow us to throw iPad Apps up on any monitor if that’s so ground breaking?

Hear yourself man, you’re saying be able to look at iPad apps on a big monitor is the killer app for Apple Vision Pro.

I fully understand that maybe I lack the vision Apple has, but if I had to call it this is going to be a total flop. There's no vision here, it's just iPad glasses. They did not embrace spatial computing at all or build a new experience around it from the ground up.
I love that Matt and co decided to get tumblr and keep it going.

Of course I wish it would go back to the (almost completely) uncensored version that is once was, although it's still not as prude as it could easily be pushed to be.

I still have not found a quick way to make a tumblr clone using wordpress (dot org version) - one would think with wordpressMU / multi-site it would take very little to clone the theme of tumblr for WP, and make a one click backend that mirrors tumblr's front-upload and admin.

Perfect thing for a buddpyress perhaps.

At least it was easy to export tumblr and import into WP.

So kudos to tumblr and automattic.
You either get a mess like iOS/Android that take everything away from user in the name of "safety", or yet another complicated beast like Qubes that has its own tradeoffs.
As I understand it Genode "just" runs Linux for many real-world applications, but with extra steps (via a VM). Either way, that doesn't really answer the question what real-world performance looks like.
Good luck convincing other people to use something else.

My friends aren't going to leave Discord. And talking to myself isn't very fun.
Id say it's really up to you. Like someone else mentioned, they really made this transition difficult. For example, limiting the amount of conversion tracking you can have to 25 which forces you to use data layer tracking over anything else with fear you'll run out.
> Why on earth are you criticizing the moderators?

Because 99 days out of 100 the majority of people including Redditors hate Reddit mods for being power tripping egomaniacs who actively censor any discussion that they don't agree with. It's a literal meme at this point how bad Reddit mods are - but today they are the 'heroes' because it suits the narrative.

It's amazing how many people have bought into the mods agenda regarding this whole 'strike'
I'm impressed at McQuinn's capacity to say so little with so many words. This barely addresses the main points of the article, instead repeatedly throwing insults and labels without warrant, hoping something will stick. Nothing's been refuted.
It's simply because of deep poverty of vast majority of population and unavailability of contraception. Living standards in the Soviet Union were on par with third world, not the first: massive industrial output did not go into consumption, but was either directed to the military, or wasted.

Plus, total fertility rate was rather high in 1970s and 80s (around 2.5) only with inclusion of Asiatic republics where people effectively lived in prehistoric state with little change over 2000 years, with totemic idols replaced with Lenin's statues. In Russia proper, it was hovering at or slightly under the replacement ratio.

Perspective from the other side of the Linux world: I do reinstall my laptops my dd'ing a image with Alpine onto them. Upgrade takes like two minutes.

Learning to get things done with only the terminal, i3 and a web browser was a big upfront task, but the result is that my setup does not have much requirements, both resources and dependencies. I've been using that setup for 7 years now without suffering from breaking changes. And when wayland is stable enough, i can switch to sway.
> No it is not normal. Even post 9/11 no conversation was censored in US media

No true. 9/11 was a nearly perfect military industrial play and no one could publicly question the US actions post the event. It felt like a lockstep war machine with vengeance at an all time high. You must’ve not lived through it.

Hopefully, the building would have been demolished by the relevant authorities before it became a risk of actually happening.

That said I don't know if there is even a tall, new building that was demolished as a danger to the public without having experienced a damaging external event. I sincerely hope not, since it reeks of incompetence.

That said there there have been some buildings that collapsed via snow (Knickerbocker Theater in 1922) or like the Millennium tower cause of groundwork issues (Transcona Grain Elevator in 1913).
And Apple usually doesn’t do MVPs

The big Apple hits have been the perfected version of products that already had massive markets

The article is conflating quarantines with lockdowns. They're not the same thing. Quarantines are more like the much-derided Great Barrington Declaration.
This reads like the usual "appeal to nature" fallacy.

If you're going to focus on things like the soil being fertile and being directly involved with your neighbors, you kinda also have to consider the complete inability to cope with storms and disease and all the social ills that were reinforced because of that tight knit community.

We like to think of past life as having been the benefits of all our modern moral leanings and all our "invisible" technologies combined with idealized visions of farming fertile lands and hunting among herds of animals, but any history book makes it obvious why our ancestors struggled so hard for us to live differently.

Ignoring that many of the anecdotes presented in the linked article are mostly the author projecting despair onto others, those fundamental issues of disease, old age and death, were even worse when we lived "naturally" and had stronger ties to the people we lived around.
When did people start conflating people disagreeing vehemently with them and censorship/suppression?

I've been called a moron for saying that I don't think the evidence is fully there yet for lab leak, does that make me a victim of a counter-censorship?

It's nonsense.
> When it is too crowded people don’t have the instinct to make more people

I don't think this is true, least not in the way you're saying it. Countries with low population densities (e.g. Canada, the US, Russia, Australia, Brazil) have equally low fertility as the denser countries like the UK and Denmark.

Often a good bit lower - Canada has both lower fertility and an older median age than the UK, despite being massively bigger, with more immigration and comparable house prices (all while having way bigger houses).
fwiw... there were posts floating around at the beginning of 2020 claiming that the epidemic was well established in Wuhan by December, and that cases were seen back to September, October.

It's unfortunate in so many way - admit a mistake was made, acknowledge the problem, and clean it up is so much more respectful of everybody's time and resources. Between Asian traditions of saving face, and US traditions of lawyers suing anything that moves, that approach never stood a chance of course.
There is, however, quite a bit of precedent for bat coronaviruses eventually infecting humans, most likely through zoonotic spillover via an intermediate species (e.g. HCoV-NL63, HCoV-229E, SARS-CoV-1, MERS-CoV, SADS-CoV), and thanks to humans shipping animals all over the globe, huge distances aren't necessarily a deal breaker.
Dunno if support vector machines are still considered "SOTA", but that would be one of the most obvious examples of a convex optimization problem (and probably a good starting point for students trying to tie ML and convex optimization)
