For me, one of the beautiful subtexts in the movie was Adams' remembrances of dreams of horses, where it wasn't explicit whether it was the aliens expressing the images to her, or she was summoning the feeling of communing with another being, using that experience as a tool to open her mind to what the beings were expressing to her. It captured the feeling of synesthesia very well. Between Arrival and Interstellar, the potential of movies to express incredibly complex ideas with new visual metaphors seems to finally be coming into form.
Maybe if it were pigeons.
Kober was very determined that systematic analysis of the text would eventually work. She rejected the idea that you could just hypothesize what language it was. Because so many people had tried and failed that way.

Maybe at some point she had this idea. But you really must understand how bad of a fit classical Greek, and even the early Greek dialects, really is. Like.. a few words work out here and there. What convinced Chadwick were the place names, some names of Gods, and one particularly long 13 symbol patronymic. But for anything more you had to start adding, removing, reinterpreting characters and assuming that the original text got them wrong.

Also Kobler was missing most of the text since it hadn't been published yet, in her small corpus this would have been ever worse.

Even after people saw the decoding the main sticking point for years was that you need to make so many changes for it to work out in Greek that you're just making up the text. It took decades of work to make the decoding work and many of the decodings Ventris put forward were found to be wrong.

Eventually Kober maybe would have worked with Chadwick or someone similar who knew a more archaic variant or maybe Chadwick himself would have noticed it.
The C Programming Language: Myths and Reality
The first in a series of blogs posts I am putting together around the C programming language (Not the book!)
How many independent hotel booking companies are there these days?

I can only think of only 2: Booking Holdings and Expedia Group.

Are there more?
N=1, moved into my current home a few years ago and it has a long and steep hill for a driveway (house is downhill from the street). I bought an early-00's pickup truck thinking I'd use it a lot more than I have. It's languishing in the driveway and will probably go up for sale soon.

If I could reasonably get and register a Kei truck in my state it would be the perfect replacement, literally all I need is some hauling space for big trash cans, and the occasional Home Depot run.

If they made them electric I'd already be getting one!
> it's kind of disingenuous to claim a link between two phenomena

Which two phenomena?

Dutch ships heading to the Dutch East Indies sinking and the need to accurately measure longitude?

These are very much linked.

> needed to say something bad about Dutch ships

I felt no such need.

It's a simple fact that a comment about Netherland naval ships faux sinking US carriers prompted a remark about the large numbers of Dutch ships famously sunk off our coast here in W.Australia.

It has little to do with the quality of the ships and everything to do with the then inability to accurately reckon longitude.

Of technical interest to anyone with an interest in the evolution of surveying, navigation, timekeeping, colonial expansion, shipwrecks, treasure, etc.
1. Again, that's your opinion, others like me disagree. Either cover WHY you think that is true you are sort of saying "I don't like it and I don't have a reason"

2. This is about the smallest imaginable amount of your life being added to the digital realm. All the data in question is ALREADY in there, on government computers when you get a paper passport and that is what is actually used at border crossings. No one cares about the paper passport except as a receipt for a DB entry. So nothing is actually being moved digital. We are just turning off some printers...
You're right, at some scales it does add up in a meaningful way, and making an informed decision based on that is entirely reasonable. However, most people operate nowhere near that kind of scale, and don't make an informed decision about this.
"Hmm, you raise systemic concerns yet you use the system because you live in a society enmeshed in it" is not a winning argument.
Unveiling the Untold Story of the Romanovs' Execution
Funny that this was just posted. Some idiot was driving this on the highway on Thursday. These are cool if you live in a rural area, and will stay in small streets where you at best would need to not go more than 40mph. I actually won't mind one especially if I can put a snow plow on it.
and then it may be easier to convince one judge than a dozen. Isn't it ?
I vehemently disagree with this. I find managing vs code extensions a nightmare and having to download them based on rating alone when there are 300 extensions for every query is untenable in a production environment.

Furthermore if you want to customize a vsc extension to do something unique for your set up you have a whole new set of issues like finding the settings, documentation etc.

Now if you can get over all of that it’s still a bulky, slow and cluttered IDE that is constantly sending telemetry data and other nonsense around the web

While I haven’t tried LazyVim I would strongly recommend LunarVim to anyone new to the vim ecosystem. It installs fast, needs minimal set up and packages can be installed with a single line in the config or through packer. Most things work out if the box. But if they don’t vim is so mature you can just ask chatGPT.

Seems like ease of use is also the aim of lazyvim so I would not discourage anyone from trying this flavour as well.

In the end it is whatever works for you.
In Switzerland piracy(except software and games) for personal use is legal, not just copying to friends and family.

In Sweden it is not allowed.

Edit: to be clear:

In Switzerland you can download movies legally without the consent of the copyright holder. In Sweden it is illegal.
Part of the reasoning behind minification is that it theoretically makes JS parsing (and compilation) faster thanks to reduced whitespace and shorter identifiers. At this point you won't notice the impact of that on developer hardware, but it probably still matters on cheap phones and old PCs. The file size improvement really doesn't matter compared to that - you only download the file once* but it gets parsed and compiled on every page load**

* assuming your website doesn't get instantly evicted from cache.

** modern browsers have mechanisms for caching the parsed/compiled code for a given JS file hash, I think, but I don't know how it works

I thought about another multiplatform, homoiconic, highly compact language: https://janet-lang.org/ (takes 803 kb on my machine).

It has no types though.
I really wish I could just put a native neovim or vim text editor inside VSCode and call it a day. I absolutely love the lightning fast experience of editing with vim. When I know exactly what I want to do, I feel like I just ripped a line of spice and piloted a trade vehicle across Frank Herbert's universe.

But a lot of my job is exploring a code base and trying to figure out what the hell is going on, and I have to concede that setting up vim to do this kind of broad exploration isn't that great. Being able to click around at random and juggle tabs in the UI instead of storing buffers in my head is nice. I know vim can solve all of this, but I just found myself gravitating towards VSCode when I'm crunched for time and can't be bothered with vim.

This would be cool to have for an online code editor or similar, but otherwise I hate these types of custom navigation things on websites.
Unless client combines decompress and CSS parsing, they would at least allocate memory for the whitespace before parsing and then skipping them.

It might be better to have slightly bigger payload on the wire to save time after decompress.

Do those work in View Source? Don't you have to load the site and inspect it in a debugger for source maps to kick in, which doesn't happen in the noscript scenario?
I personally made similar devices in the lab over a decade ago (and yes, with Nafion and benzoquinones). They're very unstable.

I'd file this under gimmick rather than novel tech.
A motor vehicle that is at least 25 years old can be lawfully imported into the U.S. without regard to whether it complies with all applicable FMVSS. Such a vehicle would be entered under Box 1 on the HS-7 Declaration form to be given to Customs at the time of importation. If you wish to see that form, you may download a copy from our website at nhtsa.gov/importing-vehicle. You should note that the 25 year period runs from the date of the vehicle's manufacture. If the date of manufacture is not identified on a label permanently affixed to the vehicle by its original manufacturer, to establish the age of the vehicle, you should have documentation available such as an invoice showing the date the vehicle was first sold or a registration document showing that the vehicle was registered at least 25 years ago. Absent such information, a statement from a recognized vehicle historical society identifying the age of the vehicle could be used.

I find TODO list (org-mode for me) useful when I have lots of small tasks that need doing, and I like that I have a record of what I've accomplished (good for when I have to write my performance evaluation). But for projects with bigger scope, I only do so in an adhoc way, e.g. as a comment in my code, reminding me to implement x, y or z.

Systematizing my whole work life around a system? meh. more of a performance art than life hack.

Accessible is merely an opinion not a fact or an argument backed by a fact.

Make is the definition of portable for that job, so that was a weird argument to try to make.

I see a consistent pattern of unfounded argument from someone who has nothing more than "old=bad" or "new=progress"
What you need is enough people with access to education, and enough of a safety net to risk innovation. Given that there are a lot of people in the world who still have no access to a university level education and are living paycheck to paycheck, I'd speculate that you could possibly get away with half or even less the 2018 population in order to maintain 2018 technology in a system that actually worked on merit.
In practice, I tend to find ticketing systems almost invariably exist either in a superposition of modeling too much and modeling too little, or as you say, have tried to model everything to the point where you can't find anything.

The 'almost' is because e.g. RT or JIRA -can- be configured such that they provide exactly the details and workflow that each team/queue wants and end up being almost pleasant to work with, but putting in the necessary business analysis time and having somebody learn their configuration and scripting facilities sufficiently to actually achieve that is something I only encounter very occasionally.
I exclusively use firefox, have a pretty normal browsing pattern, and that almost never happens to me! Much less that once a month, maybe once every 3 months
Nope.

Discord sometimes flags your whole account to require a phone number.

It's not a "server"[sic]-specific requirement that can be disabled somewhere; it's an account-wide requirement that cannot be disabled unless you open a support ticket and pray that the person in charge of your ticket is not having a bad day.

I might have gotten unlucky with my ISP, but Discord blocking me from doing anything at all unless I give them my phone number, is what made me leave it once and for all.

Oh but without deleting my account, because I can't delete the account unless I give them my phone number.
At cloudflare's scale I can imagine that for many websites, compressed data falls out of cache frequently and then the file has to get compressed again on next request. For example if you're hosting a website that contains a ton of different news articles or user-submitted stories that's probably tens of thousands of separate blobs of text, and each one might only get read a few dozen times a day. The odds are much lower that the individual content is going to be in cache on the particular edge node that handles the request.

The CDN is still useful in this case of course, both for ddos mitigation and because it can cache the common stuff like your website's stylesheets.
MythBusters' Adam Savage on the differences between YouTube and TV [video]

I've been using Firefox for the past year due to some weird incompatibility between my GPU and Chrome's video decoding. It caused dropped frames and caused my YT quality to go down.

Haven't really noticed any issues on Firefox except the lack of actually good web translator.

If they created the account, how did they get your payment info?
is there no possibility that the word "with" is just a corruption of "mid" in the first place?
OP, this is trivial to detect. DNS command and control is a thing malware/attackers use which among other things include TXT records,DoH, long A or AAAA records and many other creative ways, my fav right now being using a CNAME chain to encode information (no single request is too large or suspicious.

In my experience, bypassing censorship does not mean doing unusual things like this but things like browser extenstions that stego your message in legitimate requests .
True. I pay for steam, I pay for music I listen to, I pay for films (theater), and I download TV shows. I only watch 2-3 a year, and I can't justify paying 100€/month for at most 3 TV shows.
I'm surprised they didn't do the fold flat side on the bed, would make it much more practical.
This is so universal that I’ve noticed that when I am wearing spandex when cycling, pedestrians seem to be really fearful of antagonizing me and act surprised when I do just what is right, like yielding for them, or breaking when they inadvertently get in my way. They clearly expect to be berated by me, probably because of their former experience with other spandex wearing pretend-pro cyclists
Have you tried the vscode-neovim extension? That's basically what it does.

https://github.com/vscode-neovim/vscode-neovim
yes, it's open source. It can still be bad, no? I was forced to use it because there is no other sane way to get specific information about students and share stuff easily (aka without supporting your own DNS-entry...). It's still horrible.

And I stopped caring for the moodle-community after I found a forum-post (in 200X) which outlined all the problems they have today and got told: f** off, you don't know how to program.
I have no idea how hard it is to self-host, but +1 for Canvas. Was a really good experience as a student and reasonably easy to extend.
The chance of Hungary, Slovakia or Poland fighting with the West is very, very close to zero.

Besides that, I don't really believe that Orbán is sympathetic to Russia, he's just using the situation for his own benefit.
Red seems to have similar challenges. They have their code on GitHub, but the Releases are confusing. They have 3 releases posted. The latest one is 5 years old. But the project is active. You can download from their site, but the version number isn’t obvious.

From poking at the project, it looks interesting but not ready to really try out yet.

https://github.com/red/red/releases
Difficult, no. But it does require different and new support mechanisms for long term use (eg not a temporary site). A lot of the controversy in Canada with our F-35 purchase is that we're going to have to completely overhaul our military airports with new maintenance and storage hangars, though honestly we didn't keep them as up to date as we should have.

> The most important safety feature in a vehicle is performance

Do you have a source for this? I'm honestly curious. In every near-miss I've had in traffic, the only performance that would have helped is braking performance. And I drive a Kei car as a sole family car. On long highway road trips.
Ah yes I've heard about this. That's yet another mechanism and more complexity. I'm sure they aren't doing this for every payee though.
Have you looked at the "VSCode Neovim" extension? It uses a native neovim editor in the background (instead of just emulating VIM like VSCodeVim), so the editing experience is the same as native vim.
My wife fell in love with metal sculpting years ago, thanks to the local college offerings. Each of her courses exposed her to various approaches, such as welding and bronze casting. Her favorite by far was the once-a-semester iron pour.

There are 4 classes total, and you're allowed to take each class a maximum 2 times. So she maxed herself out because she couldn't get enough.

There was a road trip one year to another state, a gathering of like minds. It was held at a decommissioned iron foundry / museum. Various people gave talks on their style and techniques, which was super interesting according to my wife. She and the other students (and the instructor) had also brought along the molds they'd been working diligently on (wax filled) so that they could enjoy doing their iron pour onsite. My wife's project was 72 lbs once completed.

She said that between the weather (hot and humid), the locale, and the protective gear, she spent a lot of time uncomfortably hot and gritty. And loved every moment. It's her happy place.

She almost went with a group to Germany to do something similar; a metal sculpting retreat for a week or so. But the pandemic threw a spanner into that.

Thanks for the answer !

It does not seem to do more than something like PagerDuty or OpsGenie, in that there is no integrated way to run specific actions on rotation.

But I did not know that GitLab did that, thanks for the link !
> You are confusing capitalism and consumerism. My post refers to consumerism, which emerged in the 20th century; capitalism predates consumerism, while consumerism slightly predates neoliberal reforms. Indeed, Chinese culture is an example of non-democratic consumerism, proving the separation between concepts.

Bollocks. Capitalism can't exist with rampant consumption; the stock price must grow. Its like trying to differentiate the hair from the hair follicle -- yeah, they're different, but one only exists for the other.

Whether or not you agree with the authors' political aims, the article seems to explain a lot of the phenomenon:

1. Quotas that are continually pressed.

2. Spending to give the workplace some amenities that make it notnlike the typical male-dominated blue collar work.

3. Opening up entry-level jobs, which has the effect of probably being the relief for all women who would want to break into the sector (i.e. you can achieve 50% women without meaningfully changing the representation of women in the sector overall by being the only mine in the whole country which is presenting an attractive workplace to women.)

It's a pretty good article.
fast.com has anycast nodes on most major ISP's so they can be misleading when there is a problem on your network. Have you verified the duplex/speed settings have negotiated properly on each link of your LAN? What OS are you using? What is between your PC/phone and your Comcast modem? What make/model of NIC is on your computer?
This needs more attention. Why should reputable brands continue to advertise on Twitter when it's behaving like this?
the original vim has always been my daily editor, yes I did spend time learning it along the way and it worth every minute I invested, it does everything vscode or other IDE can do for me. typing while moving mouse and clicking here and there on an IDE is not as productive comparing focusing on keyboard typing, to say the least.

the beauty is that I can use it on any servers too.
Combine A/B testing with exponential growth of the user-base and you will only measure newcomers. Medium, advanced, and expert user simply won't matter in your test results. Whether that is what you need depends on the situation.
I think delaying payment for almost a whole month is due to their extremely dominant position on the market and little to do with "IT technical maintenance".

Pretty much every big system at a big company is a "pile of junk", but they had all the time, money and resources to improve it. They didn't, the question is: Would Booking.com act the same way if they were a small player in a market with a dozen big players?
Timely. I've been noticing on flights that the in-flight wifi uses a squid proxy to block you until you pay - but most of the time, you'll get whatever data from the DNS Forwarder even if you haven't paid yet.

I've been noodling on how to build a simple proxy off DNS to test on my next flight.
What a shame that it doesn't seem to work recursively.
Yeah it's upsetting the sites that I run into this on, especially since there's no excuse in 2023. On more obscure pages on Vanguard's website I've run into some broken stuff that results in console errors I don't remember, but switching to Chrome made it work :/
That's clever, only do really dangerous things if you have a way to carefully review the steps.

Another way is sometimes: `echo *.txt~` and when you like the result, replace `echo` with `rm`.
Vim, the program, I find useful in limited cases. Vim, the keybindings, I find I try to use everywhere -- from the browser to every IDE I ever work in.

It's impressive how well the minimap works for bigger articles, I clicked around randomly and ended up at https://www.stefanjudis.com/notes/should-responsive-images-w... and the minimap feels slightly magical since it appears instantly and updates synchronously if I do things like select text.

It feels kind of disappointing that I can't interact with it to scroll around like in i.e. Sublime Text, but I imagine that's a little harder to do as the author of a website. It's still very cool to me that you can do something like this on the web, and I wonder how much work it would be to support this complex CSS feature in Chrome or Safari.
