Repeating from sibling post to make sure I'm not leaving any misinformation spread.

It looks like they finished fixing it last week and it looks like it was only a high. When I first ran into it in audit reports python said it wasn't a defect in python, just how it was used, but they would change it in 3.11.4 but no official backports. The bugzilla issue for 7 and 8 said they couldn't fix it without breaking things, so they wouldn't. It seems they found a way. https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2023-24329
Reels and Stories, while directly ripped from TikTok and Snapchat have probably taken quite a bit of market share from each of those apps from people who already use Instagram as their main platform.

I suspect this has some potential to keep users who were getting FOMO on Instagram from signing up to Twitter.
Getting research funded is part of the process by which things that are 20 years off actually get developed. People seem to think it's just fated that we will have fusion on X date etc as though it's independent of how much effort is put into it. This kind of research is expensive on an individual scale, but very much a drop in the bucket at the scale of the US national budget.
So for NPK fertilizer, I now know that nitrogen is manufactured cheaply with the haber-bosch process, and we've got a lot of phosphate available. Do we also have plenty of potassium around? i.e. enough to realistically never worry about "peak potassium".
Thanks for sharing this! Hands down the most practical talk I have seen about DOD. That made so many things click for me.
part of their value is in seeing how, exactly (with the benefit of hindsight), their authors got it wrong.
I was thinking op meant something like realizing everyone has their own take on NULL and none of them are really wrong or right.
This is a late comment.

I don't understand what I'm supposed to do. On my phone, almost nothing responds to taps. It's like the interface is broken.
Yeah, this is fair. It’s a slippery slope. What are your thoughts on CCTV in London/UK?
Why is power a concern?
I suspect after some time this will fail and will get merged back to Instagram.

Instagram is already a "twitter" app they have. I think IG idea is even better: tweet with image. Of course, they messed it up big time with various anti-consumer measures. Why would this be any different?
I am also wondering, if Threads fail – what do they lose?

Its the same with Notes of Substack. If Notes fail in 2 years – can they continue? I imagine they already felt negative effect of their move.
You had that chance when Instagram launched I guess? I missed out but got my domain name instead

My gut tells me you’re quite wrong about this one. I’m quite the cynic, but I think this is a lovely confluence indeed. It feels like when you can tell that the batter is about the hit the ball out of the park just a second before the bat has even made contact with the ball.
As others have said, I’m sure this will do really well and is probably close to the final straw for Twitter. I just wish it wasn’t being produced by meta. I really hope that a non-meta competitor is able to gain significant market share.
I now understand joins less than I did before.
As OP said "best in the industry"
Personally I still want to travel to China - some of the highlands look incredible and I'd love to see the Great Wall, as well as some of the big cities. Politics completely aside, a great deal of Chinese people I meet are lovely and tell me the country can be quite spectacular.
If you can change bits that have already been observed, that would be very surprising to people.

Otherwise I'm not sure what you mean by "generate" but almost any kind of influence would have massive potential.
I haven’t worked on those before, I did a Subaru that had an electric motor with cables going to the calipers. Lots of adjusting cables on old stuff but almost never have to replace cables, just adjust them. Had to replace a lot of throttle and clutch cables though.
I always thought healthcare for people is not well suited for humans to do. Doctors, yes. Everything else, no. It’s such a demanding job for nurses and hospice care workers to deal with such terrible human situations. Sadly, it will probably be decades before robots could take over for nurses

If you don't have an account (or aren't logged in) that is what you get now. Been like that for a few days as part of their defense against excessive scraping or so Musk claims, but unclear if they will ever re-enable unauth'ed reads.
I'm aware, but that's not the point. I went to that company's website around the time that case was in the news, and 100% agreed with google downranking it.

The point is, downranking decisions by google have a non-trivial chance of being litigated in court, and at that point, I doubt that the decision will actually be made on the merits of the particular site. A sympathetic website owner with a sympathetic regulator is frequently going to win against google, regardless of how shady the site actually is.
I hate how right you are. I do my best to stay out of the Facebook ecosystem (although I am sure they have an extensive profile of my web activities). I am surprised they have not tried to make their own non-crypto financial system. Could embed it into restaurant storefronts and the marketplace.
I find the theatre experience to be meh. Too $$ for food, can't pause the movie if you have to go to the bathroom, ads before the movie, and it's usually way to loud.
> Twitter will continue to dominate the professional niches (coding twitter, medical twitter etc.)

I couldn't speak about "coding twitter" in general, but Apple developer Twitter in specific has almost entirely migrated to Mastodon (as well as a large contingent of the Apple news media). I see a lot of non-Apple devs there too.

Some old-school 80s and 90s games used manuals as form of copy protection. I distinctly remember parts of "Day of the Tentacle" where the game would ask you to enter a word or phrase from the manual...and if you didn't have it (because you copied the disk and not the manual), then you couldn't move forward.

Pretty interesting idea that eschewed technological tricks to prevent copying.

Looks very impressive, but the robot they built looks expensive to me. I would hazard a guess that it wouldn't be much more cost effective than hiring a human to do this job.

I don't think there were 'production applications' in the sense that one means today. there was no gui. no threads. no network. there is nothing wrong with synchronous I/O in a world where programs really only did one thing at a time.

signals and fork are pretty bad design decisions. but personally I blame the later generations for not being interested or creative enough to explore alternatives. overall unix was pretty cute for the time.

Gmail also had invites to start, back in the day, and that's the de facto email service now.

But that had a compelling day-1 offering that was clearly better - massive free storage allocation. Bluesky doesn't have a compelling reason to sign up like that, so the invite system feels flawed.
I find it hard to believe that searching for “..” would even show up in a benchmark.

In any case, it seems that nginx does try to search for .. but has a bug in the corner case where the “location” doesn’t end with a slash. I assume there’s some kind of URL normalization pass that happens before the routing pass, and if the route matches part of a path component, nothing catches the ..

If I’m right, this is just an IMO rather embarrassing bug and should he fixed.

Google is one of the three companies explicitly listed in the message as sponsoring the general fund of this library. What did it get them? Just people like you complaining that they aren't donating more.

Why not at least complain about the large tech companies that aren't sponsoring at all, or only sponsoring specific project work?

[0] From https://libjpeg-turbo.org/About/Sponsors it looks like a bunch of companies have sponsored specific projects, but from the message it sounds like these projects have been basically underbid by the library maintainer, and that's been part of the problem.
I've heard most of the discussion on the platform is 'meta' discussion about bluesky itself, rather than anything interesting.
I can relate to this where I work we have similar issues the data has grown beyond what the original database schema was designed around. Ours is older than 10 years though - it is 27 years old (originally from 1996).

We originally had a (in my opinion) pretty nicely designed schema and set of tables to represent the data but over time as more data has been added additional tables have grown in a hodge-podge fashion. We now have a Frankenstein's monster of a database. Similar to you there are all sorts of weird interdependencies across various tables.

An additional complication is We have a lot of legacy programs/apps that Read/write to the database so changing types, field widths etc. Is basically impossible because you would have to recompile legacy code / Rewrite Messaging queues etc.

The modern solution to this problem seems to be something called "data lake" which ingests data from the source DB but also applies transformations onto it. I don't really understand how it works something like a SQL view but also keeps the underlying data accessible as well. I don't know all the details has a lot of traction for our IT people at the moment.
It was originally called a "Hot Dog Sandwich", "Frankfurter Sandwich" or "sausage sandwich" around the turn of the 20th century.

This was the straight-forward terminology. Nobody has to go back and prove it from first principles. Dropping "sandwich" from our descriptors over time for convenience didn't change what it is.

I was surprised they didn’t copy Swift on this. It seems just obviously better than two dots.
I can tell the difference but it doesn’t do much for me (except in touch screen phones where I’m scrolling with my finger). I’m not a gamer, and I’m weird enough to turn off smooth scrolling in browsers and word processors because I hate it. So it’s really just a matter of how smooth the mouse cursor’s movement is.
This comment reminded me so much of the movie Whiplash. If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth a watch, given your history.
Thats kind of what I was getting at with the Canadians, but Griner is a good example too.
But... it can be a bit spotty. A physical KVM will be far better.
> No need; we have the message loud and clear... :|

Almost all communications suggest that you don't, including this message. For years, whenever I'd mention the UX issues I encountered I'd get responses along the lines of "yeah but we're working on XY which will be amazing". Ever since the Riot days the Element (web) client has barely improved its core UX (I'm excited for the 10 year anniversary of the multi-account issue).

> "Matrix sucks because not all clients have good UX"

You may have misunderstood; I'm saying "not a single client has good UX". This is a very personal thing of course, but for me it means that Matrix is barely usable (my favourites are Element X and Hydrogen, but neither is feature complete).

The Matrix 2.0 talk & accompanying efforts are very exciting to me, though.
Element X is phenomenal (the first client I actually enjoy using) and the main thing that got me back into caring about Matrix.

The whole reason I'm back here complaining is that I have hope again that one day Matrix can be pleasant to use and I want to help making it happen.
I want Matrix to be amazing so that I can tell people to use it without getting laughed at.

> It's probably fair to say that matrix-rust-sdk is the flagship now, not matrix-js-sdk.

I have heard about this (great technical choice, btw!) from side-channels like conference talks, but the official matrix website still shows it as one of multiple libraries in beta and the JS SDK as stable.
Using it on the web seems unsupported (the WASM bindings are only for the crypto module). On a Matrix live episode I had (I think) heard hints at the JS SDK eventually becoming a front for the Rust one, so I figured I'd go with that.

Well, as a sibling comment points out, the documentation page very prominently states that it shouldn't be used. And where does the link to the updated documentation go? Of course, a tutorial for registering a Matrix account.

The reason I'm (hopefully productively!) complaining is that I'm emotionally invested again. I want Matrix to be good and I'd like to somehow help making it happen. For now this probably means getting together with interested people at Camp.
I'd wager Mastodon is ready for this. Abhorrent/illegal/spamming/offensive/offending instances can be defederated from to remove liability at a server-level, and users can self-moderate with "block instance" functionality from their client. Both sides are sufficiently equipped to filter their respective feeds.

It's the realm of pure fantasy to envision a world where the EU bans an original community project to force everyone into a Meta-designed fork. Mastodon users should be safe as long as they're free to run their own server and client software.

All the replies have given random statistics, but these don't shed much light on the length of time it may take an attacker to brute-force a password, or find a chink in the armor of the vault's encryption algorithm.

Now as I said, a significant threat actor with lots of time in their future plans can collect encrypted stuff such as vaults and bide their time. Someday, the decryption may be cost-effectively cheap. Someday, a flaw may be uncovered in the cryptography. Someday, a vault owner's secret key(s) may leak and can be correlated.

As I said, it's just a question of time, and the ability to hold on to your cards for long enough that they can be played in the proper manner. It may take 5 years, 10 or 20, but if the payoff is valuable enough, it's worth the wait for the threat actor.
I always wanted to see just a "price transparency" aspect.

Tell me exactly how much the advertiser paid for his placement, and that's a hugely important signal here.

If I'm searching for weird hobby parts, even though it's a high purchase intent query, they're probably paying pennies per click.

But if you start searching, say, financial stuff and the ad placement figures start showing multiple dollars per click, it's a warning "these people are willing to spend THIS MUCH MONEY to present a message to you, this probably means there's something sketchy involved."

I know, for example, anything pertaining to insurance and financial products is highly likely to turn into a farm of cross-selling and personal-information harvesting, because the cost per acquisition is so high and the tendency for everyone to sell the information to everyone else is so great.
I think the idea of an open source developer as a career and lifestyle is the issue here.
I was quite surprised when I first found http://remoku.tv and watched it scan my network to find my Roku.
A valid legal argument, maybe - I don't know enough to say. But not a moral one. Is it right to do it?
This is why the rules of the game need to change. A researcher who publishes garbage, or acts unethically should be unemployable in their field. They shouldn't be given public funding. Any papers they have previously worked on should be considered highly suspect until they can be carefully checked and verified. Journals that publish shoddy work and papers by unethical researchers should be considered untrustworthy too.
The logo is eerily similar to the Tamil letter 'ku'. Can anyone confirm if thats the case or what the logo is supposed to mean?
what is R/Lutris about ?
I don't get this at all. To me it seems like it will obviously fail.

1. Twitter is all about who is there. How will they make people start posting on this?

2. New platforms take off because they innovate, not because they do what others do but slightly tweaked.

3. I have a really hard time seeing people mass escaping twitter to this du to morals. Facebook/Zuck is just as reviled as Twitter/Musk. If not more reviled. Mastodon has the moral high ground, but still can't take off.
Your comment makes no sense. Why would a vaccine skeptic be in the same group as a venture capitalist and why would they be in the same group as a scammer. And why do you think two people have something in common because one of them is Japanese and the other is a sport athlete?

This seems like some contrived way for you to just state your hatred towards certain people, and not much more. Keep on hating I guess, but that doesn't say anything about Twitter.
threads.net is a pretty decent domain though.
In my experience in QC, I've yet to see many grifters. In fact, many of the people in quantum computing are quite open about the fact that we aren't that close to "useful" quantum computing, that the number of practical problems that quantum computers will beat classical computers with could be quite small, and are actively worried about over-hyping. People selling today's QCs as a solver for generic optimization problems are indeed grifting, but that is not most of the community.

Despite all these problems, myself and much of the community still think QC is worth attempting --- for my part, the applications to quantum physics is the main motivation, and one in which it's relatively certain that QC will not "become obsolete". (It's also still perfectly valid to _research_ how to make QC useful in various types of classical problems, including optimization, and it's plausible that progress _could_ be made that would open up more widespread uses of QC. The line, for me, is when people misrepresent the likelihood of success of that research.)
Oh Zuck def sensed the opportunity!

Got your attention did I? Heh - a decent amount of our "glue code" is in Lua because it is much more flexible to use than calling the underlying drivers directly in C++. Lua binds to C/C++ extremely easily. I am pushing for more teams to adopt it because the productivity benefits are immediate.

No kernel code actually, it's all userland on system management side. The Nitro architecture means SoC admin is performed totally out of band.
Really liked the last time they offered this app (only to subsequently pull it)
We also have a system lets academics collect points, without risk of losing them. A badly researched paper or unethical practice should cost points and destroy reputations.
The whole point of Python is that it abstracts away the low level stuff and you simply “import” and attack the problem you’re actually looking at. It’s optimal for allowing people who don’t have lots of algorithm design memorised to do higher level comp sci.

Python’s optimal use case does not relate to speed.
At least pre-Musk Twitter quick to adopt popular user-innovations as first-class features (RT, QT, threads & more); features filtered upwards from users. Musk-Twitter is very top-down in trying to incentivize specific monetizable/political behaviors.
