> Communicating about work is a core part of work.

Absolutely, and the work I do is solving problems to further business objectives. As such, we talk about business things. Lists, sets, and maps are not normally business-related terms. Indeed, programming is the tool we most often use to implement the solutions to the particular problems we face, but it is not the work any more than a hammer is the work.

> Respectfully, my assumption is that you also don't work in technology, or always work alone.

I do not work alone, but I use the tools alone, yes. I expect most do. I don't see much evidence that pair/mob programming has ever caught on in a significant way.

> Data structures are unrelated to brackets, so I assume this is hyperbole.

They are indeed related as some programming languages use [] syntax to denote use of the data structure mentioned. If the people involved in the conversation are familiar with those languages, they can infer what is meant through the process of communication.

> Someone claiming to have 10+ years of developer experience should know the word "list". Full stop.

You're going off the rails here. A developer of 10+ years will know the word "list". That is not in question. The topic of conversation is how they will not necessarily have it at the tip of their tongue, because why would they? Unless you are caught in the 10 years of experience doing the same thing over and over trap, leaving you forever a beginner, it is not something people normally talk about.

Again, what would seasoned developers need to talk about lists, sets, and maps for? They should know them inside and out, backwards and forwards. "Hey colleague, I need a list here, but I forgot how to do it. Can you help?" never comes up. "Good news everyone, I discovered this great new thing... It is called a list!" – not going to happen. If we were talking about esoteric data structures, that's a little more conceivable, but we are talking about the ones you use essentially every time you write some code.

Right, it can definitely be a good approach (that did work for openwrt)

But I do feel like (in the case of printers) building on top of hardware from hostile companies is too risky. And yeah, you wouldn’t be able to get replacement parts. It’d be a devil’s bargain.

I’m definitely envisioning/dreaming of something as open and tweak-able as a 3d printer. That world is full of customization and innovation. And it seems to be truly built from the ground up. To me that’s the goal.
I don't think that's the case (having spent several years in both the IC and management tracks).

An incompetent or checked-out IC is easy to spot. While comparing the relative impact of people on a team is a Hard Problem, setting that someone's just not doing anything is easy.

On the other hand, the metric of success for a manager is how well their team is performing. So if you take an incompetent (or even a complete no-op) manager and assign them to a capable team, the organization gets no signal that the manager isn't part of the formula for that team's success.

There are measures to counteract that (skip levels, for example). But in many places, skip levels are so rarely held, and/or the manager is geographically close to their manager, creating a wide delta in social comfort between the manager and the IC with the skip-level manager. That dissuades ICs from being honest about the situation.

So there's no signal to use to "manage this kind of person out," and since this is a common problem across the whole tech sector, competitors are weighed down by a similar percentage of worthless managers - so their existence doesn't threaten the company's survival.

And if you buy that car today and do basic routine maintenance there's a good chance it will still be running great a decade from now.

Cars are dramatically more reliable than they used to be, so you will get more utility than you would for the same (inflation adjusted) expenditure 20 years ago.

My vehicle is 16 years old and I have no intention of replacing it any time soon.
A more interesting question is "Why isn't there a Chinese off-brand laser printer?"

I figure you're just trolling, and probably wasting my time, but I can assure you that environmental groups are not trying to make people miserable.

In fact, many don't care about people at all. They care about the environment. They expect people to adjust their lives to preserve it. If people choose to be miserable because they can't have everything, or have to make do with less, well then, that their problem.

35% worldwide by population of users in random samples at APNIC:

https://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/XA

US on 50%, India on 70% and China just shy of 40% -As China continues to grow (and it will) the likely outcome is > 50% IPv6 Capable. I doubt any new Mobile deployment will be single stack, the most likely is pure IPv6 with CGN for 4. So Africa which is still in growth, the most likely outcome is dualstack preferring 6

It may not be ideal, there may be significant issues with EH for instance, but at scale its alive and kicking.

Now, if only we could get jumbogram more widely deployed. Thats older than V6 is and still struggling to break the 1500 byte MTU limit.
Well, I am glad someone is doing research in this area. Powerapps are one of those things I hope I never have to deal with in a security incident. The logging and access control is messy but the underlying implementation uses normal azuread authentiation/access control.

Let's say a random user creates an app to measure something for their team, store it in sharepoint and update the avatar or some other property of users stored in azuread. Because of that latter part, the powerapp might (!) have requested and been granted directory.readwrite.all which means it can do anything at all including making itself or whoever can somehow control it and abuse it global admin, controlling the whole tenant.

A lot of this stuff is for business customers only, I suspect that's why you see little research or random threat actors abusing these types of features (until they're not random anymore).
I am spending less, but only because I am cutting back like crazy on certain items (storage unit emptied and put into spare room etc.).

Prices on food have certainly increased - 10lbs of Quaker Oats oatmeal at Costco went up about 15% , and the organic 5lb bag went from about $8 to $10.99 at the same time. Meat also, the Angus ground beef patties are $5/lb from Costco, up from I think $4/lb a year ago.

> People on the right care a lot about Biden's crimes (either of them).

Really? Do they care about the crime itself or just who committed it? Do they think that crimes don't matter when their side does it?

I'm fine with prosecuting Biden(s) for any legitimate crimes. I'm also more than fine with doing the same for his predecessor and every one else in office. Can you say the same?
As far as I know, they live on planet Earth along with the rest of us schmucks and if they burn the entire world to the ground for profit, fleeing to a compound in New Zealand won't actually save them -- unless "New Zealand" is really code for some off planet haven, which I very seriously doubt.
Nice benchmark script. With EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS), I see that

* normalized/join version needs to read 5600 pages

* normalized/join version with an additional UNIQUE INDEX .. INCLUDE (type) needs to read 4500 pages

* denormalized version only needs to read 66 pages, almost 100x fewer

Related to this pagination use case, when using mysql, even the denormalized version may take minutes: https://dom.as/2015/07/30/on-order-by-optimization/

They were referring to it as a "Rolling Cipher" (searchable) and reinforcing the claim based on Widevine as a protection mechanism for the (previously hosted) Youtube Red content. [1]

They were making the case "if youtube decided to replace the rolling cipher with widevine completely, it would seriously harden the DRM protection".

"Die Einordnung der "Rolling Cipher" als wirksame technische Schutzmaßnahme ist auch unter Berücksichtigung der Regelung des § 53 Abs. 1 UrhG zur Zulässigkeit von Vervielfältigungen zum privaten Gebrauch verhältnismäßig."

This translates to that they think base64 is a reasonable technical measurement to protect content.

By this logic they've established that URLs themselves are a valid copyright protection mechanism (encodeURIComponent uses base64url behind the scenes), which has another scale of consequences. That is why I'd argue that the court has no idea whatsoever what base64 is, what it does, or that it is even an openly defined specification as a text interchange format.

I think what confused the court is the parameter shuffling for the signature parameter in combination with base64. Even though this is not encryption they made it look like effective encryption in front of the court.

Fair point! You're right - I made some assumptions based on its merger into theater rather than something like film or effects or engineering. Pushed me toward a focus on marionettes rather than how to build a puppet, how to engineer puppets, etc, how to use them in film, etc.

My Brother printer once said the cartridge was empty and I refused to believe it. After browsing the internet a bit, I found a trick on an obscure forum that worked for me: you put a small piece of tape on the cartridge chip, and miraculously it's not detected as "empty" anymore. Two years after the procedure, I'm still printing on the same cartridge that was supposedly empty.

Only if you ignore the number of prominent people killed by the US government to keep them quiet. We know from court cases and declassified documents: Fred Hampton, MLK, Malcolm X, Gary Webb, Frank Olson, Collateral Murder (Chelsea Manning leak), Paul Guihard, Walter Reuther, Walter Liggett, Danny Casolaro, Mark Lombardi, and on and on. Most journalists you don't need to kill. You just ruin their careers like the NYT did to Chris Hedges when he criticized the Iraq war.
> I've been in this exact situation before in a storage expansion.

Can you tell us what solution that was? Something with ZFS or BTRFS? My experience with classic RAID system is, you can't expand them without reinitializing them. (But that comes with obvious warnings about data loss.)
This caveat is the same reason I can't really support PeerTube. P2P shifts copyright liability onto individual users.

Okay, maybe you could always technically sue someone for watching a YouTube video, but it was practically way more difficult by having to go through Google first to get an IP. P2P skips that step because you dox yourself whenever you use it.

Positive rights advocates have had some success in achieving the lawful creation of positive rights across the States, the most prominent examples being Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and public school systems.

But those are also the most expensive line items in Federal and State budgets, massively expanded the public bureaucracies, and had variable success in achieving their stated goals and are some of the most contentious and controversial political topics, with public education in particularly attracting the full brunt of the culture war in recent years in part due to lockdown policies during the pandemic giving more parents more insight into the education their children are (or are not) receiving, and that’s just one positive right.

To put it bluntly, the mere arising of new views around “rights” since 1789 is insufficient if those new views do not represent a qualitative improvement over prior thought, and positive rights advocates have not exactly covered themselves in glory. The mere conjecture of a new positive right in the way activists and advocates proceed is also insufficient; the nature of them is such that you actually do need lawful agreement, and that agreement is only binding in the jurisdiction which created it.

Can you make a disclaimer to e.g. telemetry? I know it has to be verified by anyone so at one view, its pointless, but it would be good to be clear you didn't e.g. use a library or tool which leaks info to its upstream on use.

> LLMs do have personalities and wit

I'd say at this point youtube has so much more market capture than any non-chrome browser, they probably could just say "get Chrome or gtfo" and not even notice the audience dip.
Did what?
Yeah

I got 90%.

Some of the "real" (sounding) headlines could be easily have been made up though or have been the output of a hallucinating LLM. Like a headline claiming a plausible result of a purported study that may have never happened. If we mark that as real ...are we gullible?

Some of the "fake" (sounding) headlines could have been actual headlines of a major media outlet -- trying to polarize its viewers, or clickbaited to get views and engagement. If we mark it as fake but it was a actual headlike on one of the three letter networks, are we too distrustful?

Leaving aside the obviously fake ones, those that are in the realm of possibility should be assessed hy each individual based on tge content of the article, not just the headlines, paying attention to any slants, checking if they provide verifiable references and checking someof those references if necessary to verify interpretation.

Coming to a conclusion about a headline being fake or real -- just based on that headline alone -- is probably a bad heuristic that should be discouraged.

PS: also the "fake" news samples here are mostly right wing conspiracies. Wonder if it could have been more balanced. If there were more fake items about immigration, abortion, taxation, gender and race discrimination, policing, law and order, gerrymandering, etc. there may be some respondednts who will more easily get misled.
>It's hard to imagine a network interface (except ppp0) without a 48-bit MAC address?

Not super common but there's Infiniband. Latter versions supported encapsulating ethernet frames (Ethernet over InfiniBand) but not all hardware supports it. Otherwise it's straight IP over IB. There must be other niche networking technology that does IP without Ethernet.
They messed up here in some way, but assuming you know what events and complaining about their skills is just making stuff up at this point. Unless you can tell us exactly what happened, maybe hold off with that kind of criticism.
Yes, it’s ironic. There is no explicit direct motivation but through indirect effects of current zeitgeist: I personally know many people in Bay Area that drive multiple 600hp+ gasoline cars with child seats, no less, but are frothing with climate doom and gloom.

Interestingly and again ironically, the people that actually care about climate are the country folk. Ask them and talk to them. They love their neighborhoods. They love the mountains. They don’t waste. They don’t spill.

The absolute moronic population in places like Berkeley and SF want to propel the rot they’ve created in the name of whatever idiotic ideology they have going on. Irresponsible and relentless recycling like a goddamn religion without understanding the net effect of recycling. Don’t ever question, you’ll get spit on. God, I despise the laptop class people myself being part of it.

Yes, you get it: with your detailed argumentation for one position you show you were already well aware of the distinction, unlike apparently the OP. But I suppose it is best that we refrain from further political battle here.
> Many folk musics have independently arrived at the pentatonic

The way I had the pentatonic scale explained to me (embarassingly recently) explains why this is so.

If you take all the chords of a given key, and then examine all the notes, and remove any note that sounds discordant with any chord of the key, the notes that remain are the notes of the pentatonic scale. (That's not 100% true, but it's close enough to true for rock 'n' roll.) What this means is, if you have a backing track that sticks to chords within the key, you can kind of noodle around in the pentatonic scale however you like, and it'll sound alright. For guitarists, this is like adding training wheels to your bike... suddenly, you're effortlessly making music, without crashing and burning, and all you're doing is sticking to the pentatonic scale. (Yeah, there's targeting chord tones, and following the changes, etc. but for a beginner/intermediate guitarist, the pentatonic scale is magic.)

Before youtube, the above information was rather hard to come by, I found. I played guitar for approximately 30 years before figuring it out via to youtube. I made a youtube video[1] covering what I deemed to be the salient points... I'm not aware of another single youtube video covering all these points, (though all the points are covered by many combinations of other multiple youtube videos).

Before even download, can we at least acknowledge that Youtube is the greatest copyright infringement platform on the planet?

Whatever the "excuse" of the uploaders and the host of those uploads (youtube), the sheer number of copyright protected material uploaded in clear sight should be the main concern of any copyright enforcer, not those who download.
