The Boy's Second Book of Radio and Electronics - by Alfred Morgan (1957).[1]

I had almost failed 4th grade, and it was strongly suggested (I don't know the details, but it happened quickly) that I should be set loose in the school library, and allowed to pick out any book and read it. This very book got me into electronics, and later when the personal computing revolution arrived, I was all set to join in.

Diary of an Early American Boy: Noah Blake 1805.[2]

It was the love story wound into this quite fascinating look into the lives of young men in that time period, that inspired my decision to propose to my Wife.

People going off topic and talking about their lives in IRC isn't injecting politics, dude, it's human.
Why would you want that? While soft CPUs are fun and interesting, they are not really considered to be an ideal solution for anything. More like "well, that's what we have to use due to not having an actual CPU, even though we need one. Either this, or nothing.".
You just made their point for them.
Don't know why, but people just don't take gang violence seriously in America.

I've been in lots of discussions about gun violence, but I've never seen someone argue for reducing gang crime, even though they cause a majority of the gun deaths.
Part of the issue here is that historically, audio channels didn't have any association with text channels, and so you'd find setups where people would pair them up and interleave them.

Nowadays each audio channel has an associated text channel, making it a lot easier.
If the parts are made to fit the chaos and the design is reusable, what does it matter of the chaos is old?...unless say it's greatly worn and the integrity is impacted....but then you can buy a replacement part.

Their pricing on the 13 is fair for the components they offer. I'm not in the market for a new laptop, still rocking a 2015 mbp...but if I need a new one, I hope they're still around.
This brings to mind the genocidal "coil campaign" of eugenics against indigenous Greenlanders, and the 100% abortion rate in Iceland of children who may have had Down syndrome. It's monstrous.

I've just released ChatGPT Source Watch, a repo dedicated to finding and documenting upcoming ChatGPT features (before they've been announced/released).

https://github.com/0xdevalias/chatgpt-source-watch

> ChatGPT Source Watch
>
> Analyzing the evolution of ChatGPT's codebase through time with curated archives and scripts

This is an evolution on the very manual / high effort techniques that I (and others) have been using to identify and leak unannounced / unreleased ChatGPT features by studying the minified frontend source code.

The most interesting part of this repo for most people will be the CHANGELOG, where you can get an overview of what changed in each new ChatGPT build / release:

https://github.com/0xdevalias/chatgpt-source-watch/blob/main...

If you're interested in some of my (and some others) past ChatGPT feature leaks, you can find a timeline of them + relevant links to the sources over at this gist:

https://gist.github.com/0xdevalias/4ac297ee3f794c17d0997b467...

And I'll often also share details about leaked upcoming features on Twitter when I find something interesting:

https://twitter.com/_devalias

Such as when I leaked the early versions of code interpreter and browsing mode way back at the start of Feb: https://twitter.com/_devalias/status/1622102312994099200 , or the 'Share Chat' feature almost a week before it was leaked on Reddit: https://twitter.com/_devalias/status/1658104103090651140

Anyway, I hope others find the discovering upcoming ChatGPT features as interesting as I do, enjoy the content!

They've already outdone every other laptop manufacturer: you can swap a new 13th gen system board into an original 11th gen Framework.

My friend's wife has a Framework, and she suffered a liquid spill which reached the system board. He ordered parts, did the swap, and she's back in action for less than half the cost of a new laptop. If it were Dell or Lenovo, you'd be trying your luck with used eBay parts. The housing would have ~20 tiny plastic clips that you break one or two of every time you open it up. (Or adhesive, ugh.) It's just a sketchier proposition.
Oh wow, I haven't thought about Jidesoft in YEARS. I used it back in the early 2000 to add some much nicer data grids, toolbars and other things to our mining software package.

Those were the days!
Then don't support obsolete versions?
Wow that sounds like commercial support actually worth paying for.

I work a lot with MS and we pay them a lot for support, which is terrible. It's double-outsourced (first to Accenture which then outsources to a number of other companies).

It means the support agents are very far from anyone in the core product and they are measured on the amount of escalations so they are extremely reluctant to do that.

Meaning if you have a question that's easily answered in the docs, it's great. If it's not and something is actually broken on their side (which is usually the case because we can read...), you're stuck defending yourself against "It says in the docs it should work so you're doing it wrong". Once you manage to convince them something is really not working as it should they'll stall by constantly demanding logs and updates to the latest version. By the time they review the logs another version is out and they will demand that.

Eventually after a couple weeks you can manage to escalate to an account manager and force the issue to go to someone who actually knows anything. It's the kind of support that really feels like part of the problem rather than a trusted advisor.

I'm kinda surprised RedHat isn't like this, in my experience it's only been small companies that I've seen excellent support from.

It's worth noting that the author is French, and in French animé means "animated".
I think you've missed the point, and I've been downvoted for venturing to make it, nevertheless let's try the same point in a different light: ideas that were first widely broadcast (ie, before Jon Stewart) by perhaps a dangerous, irreverent, clown which were previously considered disinformation have now been accepted, at least in op-eds, by not only the WSJ ("wrong team") but now the "paper of record", the NYT ("correct team").

In fairness, I think a lot of that is him writing in a vernacular English that wouldn't have been recorded much in official documents or other writings. So he probably didn't coin it so much as save it for posterity.

The list of all affected SHA256 fingerprints is in https://bug1838667.bmoattachments.org/attachment.cgi?id=9340...

You can get the SHA256 fingerprint for your certificate by running

openssl x509 -in mycert.pem -sha256 -fingerprint -noout

If you don't like the format,

openssl x509 -in mycert.pem -sha256 -fingerprint -noout | cut -d= -f2 | tr -d : | tr A-F a-f

will match the format in the list of affected certificates more closely.

If you need to do this against a web server and don't already have a copy of the certificate locally, something like

echo | openssl s_client -connect example.com:443 -servername example.com 2>/dev/null <&- | openssl x509 -sha256 -fingerprint -noout | cut -d= -f2 | tr -d : | tr A-F a-f

(This example outputs the actual SHA256 fingerprint for the real domain example.com, which is not affected.)
Well, relative to my first Marcel Grossmann Meeting [1] (MGM5 in Perth, 1988, along with JG [2]) it's a new paper.

In any case, the paper doesn't claim that black holes can't form.

It claims that under conditions X, Y, and Z they don't form.

And, as usual, there's been a slew of robust responses.

Okay but the point still holds for every other invention of the human mind. Writing, pottery, the wheel, agriculture, fortresses, cities, churches, warships. We made all of these things from nothing. There were no prior examples. No training set. Human intelligence has bootstrapped a complex digital civilization from a starting point of illiterate nomads.
How the economy will respond to inflation
It's been bugging me for years, but I don't really enjoy modern HTML/CSS for fluid layouts when it comes to forms.

To do really nice form layouts in a desktop application, alignment and sizing of labels across the entire form becomes really important to me. Products like Developer Express that have a dedicated form layout work so well for this. And some of the swing layout managers I've used (I can't recall the name, too long ago) make complicated form layouts much more sane than grid, flex and other css layouts.
Wow, this is a really cool project. Just one thing that I was curious about... At the end there was talk about elo rating and their uncertainties, but I wasn't sure how those were computed and if those were determined to be statistically significant. The dubious benefits of the compile times seem independent from an ELO rating and so I think a statistical test to ensure the significance of the results would be good to further drive the point home.

Apart from the ELO claim, the runtime speedup is sure beneficial at the very least! Cheers to the author
We had a PDP 11/70 for undergraduate work when I started studying for my BSCS in 1984. Nothing pretty, just glass vt52 and vt100 type terminals. Oh, and a 110 baud line printer that could also be used as a terminal. That line printer was not fun, but I had to use it on occasion when all the good terminals were taken.

IIRC, ours had 64KB of RAM in two banks.

Revenue in 2017 was $50mm. So in the last six years, their headcount has grown 10x, and their revenue has grown 10x. Hmm…
While your point is well made, it's worth using the actual numbers;

>> when in fact it’s more like 10 school shootings

This year, guns have been discharged in schools only 66 times. So on track for about 130 this year. Down from 177 last year.

Not all discharges in deaths. Only 57 last year and 26 this year (so far).

And yes, presumably some of those discharges are gang related. Still, in school though.

Is this blood sacrifice of young children simply the price we pay for the 2nd ammendment? Is calling it a "blood sacrifice" excessively colorful language?

Is 50 kids a year too many?

That is standard human behaviour. We're all like this on almost every topic. Think about how much of your opinions are shaped similarly.
Interesting, I'd never been aware of this topic, which seems to underlie the UNC profs conclusion:

I'm not familiar with this site, but I just looked and there is a "sign in" link in the top right on desktop. On mobile it's present in the hamburger menu. So I'm not sure what you're referring to.

However, these things do happen. Your complaint reminds me of how for years, there was no apparent way to download Steam from the Steam website. The only way to get there was via one specific help article. I have no idea how they made that whole website without thinking that they should let people download Steam. But it happened.
maybe that's a bit unpopular opinion but I'd rather see this kind of changes if that means there is no more layoffs and they won't suddenly cutoff the spending on some opensource project...

I don't rely on Redhat anymore (except for OpenShift) and fully switched to SuSe contracts now but i am happy with Redhat contributed technology to the Linux world.

>a bit stiff in the joints

I found out that I am sometimes allergic to citric acid, which turns out is made from mold. If I have more than one citrus flavor drink I get sore joints. Theoretically the mold is filtered in the final product but I suspect this is not always done well. I just avoid it now but dang its in everything.

Coffee supposedly has trace mold on it could be a similar problem.
Ok this is a bit worrying indeed. I have to say I hardly ever eat that stuff, just because it's not even that nice. And it's full of hard fat.

Can you elaborate why strongly suggested?

I really like your examples.
I've read the Budapest Memorandum is not legally binding

Unfortunately what you were reading were statements from Vladimir Putin to that effect. The view of international law scholars is that it is in fact legally binding in that it is essentially an extension of the Helsinki Accords.

At any rate, the main case for the illegality of both the 2014 and 2022 invasions rests with the UN Charter, not the Budapest Memorandum.

The problem is that a good chunk of those drunk/high/distracted/overly tired are in the same type of vehicle, and cause disproportionate damage to those who do not or cannot afford a similar sized tank. Your point is a valid one, and I think it is more of a reflection of failure on the end of car companies and legislation...
I on the other hand wish it would do that more often.

When I open YouTube I’m always distracted by the recommendations on the initial screen, and then I never get around to the Watch Later list. So it’s nice when Watch Later videos show up on the initial screen.

I wish I could tell it to consistently show me one or two Watch Later videos on the initial screen rather than doing so seemingly at random.

> I see that there are people down voting several comments in this thread in support of accessibility. I wonder what disagreement that you have?

Didn't downvote but I want to share a couple thoughts I've had about accessibility:

- I assume that browser/electron accessibility is not really optimal for users. It's sort-of free if you're building web/browser stuff, which is nice because it's available by default, but I can imagine most applications could be tailored for accessibility and be much more productive and enjoyable for end-users. For instance a "blind mode" for a text editor would probably be a lot different than what you get out of the box from a screen reader + VS Code. (I would love to get feedback on this from someone using a screen reader or accessibility features.)

- I worry you're providing a bit of a moat if you regulate/require accessible software, since for most applications that equates to using a native GUI toolkit or browser-based solution.
How closely did you model the plan?
Congratulations on the launch. Fascinating set of features!!
any good comparison table between them?
I can confirm. /r/MKaTS is a longstanding private sub of mine. No modmail (yet).

There's also /r/MKaTH, affiliated with the former but public. I'd taken that private and added a solidarity note. So far, no modmail, though it has far fewer members than /r/dredmorbius.

(OP, FYI.)
Even if you can guess they're gone, you're still going to try to mount a rescue in the case that you were wrong.

And nobody with any shred of PR training would make a "heard a big boom, they're probably fucked" statement with all the world's media and the families listening. Nobody wants to tell the families that its over until they've got hard proof.

I think you're under estimating the controller and over estimating your understanding of the conditions it would live on the vessel. Why it's non redundant? There were likely spares around, if it misbehaves you can get a new one in seconds.
> Can EdgeDB solve the problems like `soft-delete`?

Yes, with access policy rules. E.g

global hide_deleted: bool;

type SoftDeletable {
deleted: bool;

access policy hide_deleted
allow all
when (global hide_deleted)
using (not .deleted);
}

The above will effectively "hide" objects with `.deleted` set to `true` from all queries when the `hide_deleted` global is set to true.

> How about hooks, for example, I want to trigger scripts after/before a record is added to the table.

EdgeDB supports triggers: https://www.edgedb.com/docs/changelog/3_x#triggers. Future versions will add support for causing effects outside of the database, e.g. call a WebHook or some such.

PWAs should be able to send notifications on iOS now (after you add them to Home Screen). Does Revolt not recognize this?
As I'm reading the comments I'm a bit curious what services people are running, or dependent on CentOS for, that FreeBSD or Debian can not provide? In the past I could see buying into an eco-system of tooling that helped you manage fleets of servers but with Ansible, Docker, etc wouldn't the tooling be agnostic to the OS?

What exactly is it that you are running in your infrastructure that doesn't have a stable alternative?

- DNS
- DHCP
- Webservers
- Database servers
- Firewalls
- IDS
- VPN
- Auth services

You can PXE boot, use tools like foreman, upload images to VPS provider(s). At least speaking for FreeBSD you have regular release cycles, security advisories, etc.

I'm probably old but this scenario has played out plenty of times and the comments are the same that were on mailing lists when RedHat Linux was moved to Fedora. I remember when the CentOS maintainer(s?) disappeared and delays between CentOS 5/6 and RHEL6. People talked about how their business were so dependent on this OS how could a maintainer just abandon it..etc.

Now resources and efforts are split between Alma and Rocky linux at what point do you evaluate what you "really" need from your systems and if the constant wait-and-see, buy-out, merge, fork process just becomes noise.

Has it never come up in any risk assessment for large companies to have a contingency if the OS is no longer available or the licensing changes?
GreenSuck is not free.
Probably the best thing I have ever seen on the stage is a production of a slightly abridged version of Henry VI. A review of that production is here: https://leonrubin.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/henryvi_paper.... .

I hardly ever hear anyone talk about these history plays but some of them really are incredibly good as that review indicates. Maybe seeing a production rather than just reading them on the page helps (this version was also shortened but honestly it was so good that I suspect if they'd just performed the entire thing I would have still loved it).
I'm looking at this and wondering why anyone would risk their life for an extremely dangerous trip in a cramped underwater vessel with no toilet when you could just... send a drone.
I had Much Ado as one of my first introductions, and I remember it being fun, but not really getting it at the time. I think everyone's first Shakespeare play is hard going, it's not until you get the rhythm of them and start seeing them live that they make more sense.

And Much Ado is a particularly mean one because so much of it is innuendo that you need a guide for, and there's nothing the kills jokes faster than a guide explaining them. I'd love to see a modern translation of Much Ado, but done with the aim of really translating joke for joke, replacing some of the puns that don't work any more with modern versions, making the double entendre a bit more modern, etc.
It should be easy to distribute RHEL back to ACME Linux via a detour right? I mean another company could distribute it to to ACME and and hide that with limited repercussions.

I guess that Legally this would have to be revealed once ACME gets sued. That sounds like an endless game of whack-a-mole to me though.
The fragile nature of my life's work
I mean you'd get the same number of page faults with both examples, so I think the discrepency is explainable by caches/cpu prefetching.
Correcting knowing knowledge always comes with the chance that what you're observing may be invalid for reasons you aren't considering. So in this regard you're largely agreeing with the post you're ostensibly arguing against. Everybody else says e.g. the coefficient of lift is x, I say it's y - is not just a "discovery", but going against the conventional knowledge of laws of physics of a given time.

It's not like the aviation enthusiasts prior to the Wright Bros were just strapping aluminum sheeting to their backs and jumping off cliffs. Well I mean maybe somebody somewhere at some time did do that, but for the most part people always try to start from a basis of what's known, and work their way up from toy experiments. Same with this story, or even the 'flat earth guy' who was launching himself in rockets. [1] For those who didn't 'get it', the flat earth stuff was just an overtly transparent schtick for interest/funding.
