Saddam had current stockpiles of WMDs. (No, he'd long ago gotten rid of them.)

The attackers on the US compound in Benghazi were regular folks upset about the film "Innocence of Muslims". (They were organized Islamist militants, including groups affiliated with Al-Qaeda.)

"Hands up, don't shoot!" (There's no evidence Michael Brown ever said that.)

Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation. (The contents have been repeatedly authenticated.)

Those are four massively popular lies that the media told over 20 years, of which you should be aware. I regularly see media outlets peddle falsehoods that they have been told are false, but I don't know what your specific knowledge is.

I do buy it in case of C++, but C? You can’t even have a proper data structure with it due to it being so inexpressive - and surely data structures are one of the most significant factors of performance.

Besides, the industry hands down chose C++ for the truly performance-oriented workloads.

In modern OSRS I believe the main way of training Runecrafting is through the Ourania altar, and at higher levels the Soul/Blood altars, both OSRS-specific (I've used both as an Ironman player, but haven't played in the last few years, so not familiar with newer updates).

I suspect Law crafting (with runners) would still be more XP per hour, but I think the player dynamics are quite different nowadays. You used to spend a lot of time at the start trying out various things that are no longer "efficient" (another thing I remember doing was mining rune essence—I didn't do that at all in OSRS). I think it's because of a combination of things, like the age of players (younger people might not be as good at strategising), visibility through social media (eg, Twitch/Reddit) about how to play the game "properly", and modern updates that make some of the tedious tasks unnecessary (in Ironman, I think I got my rune essence from newer PvM and the "Temple Trekking" minigame). For all of these reasons, you don't end up with people that would be willing to queue to trade their time for someone else's runecrafting experience and a couple of Law runes.
Like the other comments mentioned, that's shockingly cheap.

Amazon is selling their ridiculous Astro bot for $1,599, and it can't even do *gaps. (I don't think this can do stairs, but definitely handles elevation changes)
Ok, I see the case: it is if you actually literally have "." on your PATH. I never ever do this--and consider it super super dangerous--and so it never occurred to me to test that case. So like, if I have "~/bin" on my path, it is converted to an absolute path, but if I have "." on my path and I am in that folder it gives me just foo. Thanks for helping me understand that case...

It’s slowly getting better though. I start receiving emails in nmh that can’t even try to display before I delete them.
That would be a case of higher probability of finding a solution in one step.

But the solution would still need to be checked and another candidates generated until a solution is found.

Average time would be minimized by generating random vectors each time.

But that would increase the worst case to unbounded (effectively infinite) time since an increasingly vanishingly small but finite chance that a solution has not yet been found will exist after any number of steps.

Some kind of simple search would be vastly more bounded, but in practice require more computation.
Yeah I just looked up the actual charts, the current measured drop in travel is clearly just due to the onerous travel restrictions that were around due to vaccination requirements (all the requirements to upload documents etc). Those didn't end until this year in Japan, so I don't think we'll have the numbers to make any real conclusions until the end of 2024...
I dislike this because it asks about a circle around a center point: one could possibly draw a perfect circle yet have a bad score because it's not centered.

Still, it was easy to get to more than 96% repeatedly on a phone screen, so the score is not very useful since these circles are far from circles.
Wow. Who knew such things existed? Fantastic. I'd hate to resolder that data cable from the LCD though.

Could you elaborate? I think that the elite billionaires would really like the idea of social credit score. I think there is a great possibility for that. There is substancial progress in digital id introduction. Biometrics, facial recognition is on the rise. Lets put these pieces together and see what is coming. If there is possibility, and people in power will benefit, it will certainly be introduced. It will be framed as a good and necessary thing. We already have various accounts linked together. If you link bank accounts, social media, digital id you have social credit score at finger tips.
Ok, so I see what is going on with PATH, and it was fascinating (at least to me) and I am really glad I asked: it never ever occurred to me to literally put "." or (apparently even more critically) even "" on a PATH, due to the ever-present danger of entering a folder with a trojan horse called "ls" and getting toasted. When I was talking about "." being on my PATH I meant like, running the program from inside /usr/bin. If I put "~/bin" on my path and run foo it gets converted to an absolute /home/saurik/bin/foo, but if I put "." on my PATH and go into the folder... yeah: you managed to pull off leaving me with just "foo" in $0. I still can't use dirname for most of my scripts, though :(. (If it makes you feel any better, I do often use dirname if it's there.)
I doubt that I could love a robot dog as much as a real live one. You can't replace a child or a spouse with a robot either.

I think we need to define 'prosper' before making that statement. What does that mean and who are we talking about? Imperial Spain 'prospered' but at the expense of a large portion of the world's population become enslaved, and then the kingdom itself did not endure. Which examples of prosperity exist outside of colonialism? If only a small population prospers at the expense of the rest of the world, is that a win? If not, then if something has never existed then how can you claim that it cannot happen by changing the status quo?
I get where you’re coming from but SF is full of busses, it has trams, light rail, (even some cable cars!) and a subway. A couple of years ago it was stuffed full of electric scooters. Bikeable areas are constrained by the hills or practically impossible due to the road layout (bus lanes, tram tracks, crazy Victorian street plan) pedestrians who go literally anywhere they want at any time, questionable grid system that inhibits walkability with endless crosswalks. Changing anything significant costs billions of dollars. We don’t have any credible solutions to these. It’s like a massive technical debt where you can’t rebuild and every fix breaks something else.
The fun thing with ToS is that you know every large company with a ToS (or EULA for that matter) has analytics and knows exactly how long you read that ToS (if you did at all), and is smart enough to know objectively if you read it or did not read it.
"If you can feel it, you're too drunk" is the answer these days, so I don't think even that one is true anymore. And as far as I'm aware it's a good bit easier to tell how sleep deprived you are than how drunk, am I wrong on that?

I think I understand your original post better now, but I disagree with how high of a bar you're setting for "correctly". "Am I sleep deprived?" is not a question that needs precise measurement.

We kind of do. It's just that the tracks are owned by freight companies BNSF, Union Pacific, CSX, or Norfolk Southern. Take a look at their system maps.

Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Kansas City fill in a few gaps in the US and extend the system to Canada and Mexico. Throw in Ferromex and that covers most of North America.

We have the trackage, we need to find a way to put passenger rail on a better footing against freight carriers. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQTjLWIHN74
No. According to the Mujahadeen who did work with CIA, ObL was considered an "extremist" even among them because he expected to go to war against the US immediately after they were done with the Soviets. According to them, he didn't want anything to do with CIA.

I'm sorry you don't like your hair cuts, but clippers, like scissors, are just a tool.

IMO thick or curly hair is always best cut dry and washed after. The hair changes way too much when wet to get a realistic idea of what it will look like when done if you wash it first. If time and patience were infinite, sure, maybe, wash and treat curly hair first, but it has to then be fully dry and it has to dry slowly without blowdrying before cutting because it completely changes shape and size between wet and dry.

My 2 cents is that evolution of combat is good actually, up to a point. Because the apm and tick rate are limited, getting good after a certain point means memorizing an exact rotation, learning keyboard shortcuts, memorizing the boss mechanics to know when to switch to a shield and res or whatever. Point being it’s not really fun. After a while any minor mistake on a challenging boss screws you up really bad.

There is no way to ensure you don't get screwed in an equity agreement for a failed company. Since most startups fail, worrying about some future event that most likely won't happen, is a waste of time.

Most equity agreements can also be rewritten with numerous "tricks" down the line. A cap table re-org is a great one. Another example: I got written out of a companies equity table once when they shut down the original company, sold the name to a new company for $1 and then did a DBA for the old company name.

You're better off figuring out what happens when the company is actually successful, not what happens if it eventually becomes successful. Does that make better sense now?

Also, this elitist notion of raising the bar is an instant “turnoff” for me, with all due respect, I can only assume from that that the given person may not be as much an expert as they think of themselves. Not saying that it applies to you as well, but you don’t leave me much other choice.
I think you are right. All the most successful standards have described existing implementations. They didn't describe the universes they hoped it would be in the future, they described the situation on the ground now, perhaps with some compromises in place to try to get everybody on the same page. Look at Common Lisp, SQL, POSIX.
A full rust compiler instead of use the "de facto" one? on a language as complicated as rust that sounds scary unless they have a lot of financial backing and significant amount of compiler devs.

Suppose someone sells cyberattack services. A prospective customer asked for a demo before shelling out big bucks on attacking the real target(s).

They nerded something that would bring attention from media, but not a major outcry and security overhaul at the real target. A telescope fits the bill: it's not going to blow up or crash down, it has a small staff, and it's not an obscure thing that everyone would ignore in the news.

One of the biggest difficulties I have with security is clients with the view "none would want to attack us".

The problem is many ransomware gangs are opportunistic and will "target you" because you opened a word document or had an unpatched exchange server.

Proving the Nth digit of pi exists is not (necessarily) constructive.

Though to make it an actual proof and not a truism you might say "when writing pi in the shortest decimal representation, there is a millionth digit".

Proving pi is irrational would suffice, without actually calculating the first million digits.
In all of the shots I can find of that scene, the canyon is clearly a quarry with blocks cut out by wire saw (filmed in a quarry in Vermont). I guess the historic quarries in Iowa are filled in with water to create artificial lakes by now, but that's something that only Iowans would really know.

I recently hid the free tier on OnlineOrNot's marketing website as an experiment, since then my sign-up rate has decreased, but those signing up are more likely to use a business email, and actually start monitoring their APIs and create a status page.

Having a free tier has been great for word of mouth, but the quality of "customer" it brings is so low on average that I'm wondering if its worth it.

I agree there's room for consulting, but as a new field, there's a lot of software currently missing for each vertical. Today, that's manual labor by consultants, but as the field matures... consultants should be doing things specialized to the specific customer, not what can be amortized across adjacent verticals. Top software engineers investing into software over time deliver substantially more in substantially less time, and consultants should be integrating that, not competing head-on.
> Simple fix.

Haha! If only that were true, it took the riots during COVID (often regarded as BLM but was at it's core were really about rampant Police abused and corruption as seen erupt in France) and an immense amount of backlash on Gov. Poli-- he seriously risked not being re-elected--and having it's major cities (Denver, Boulder) be lit on fire like lots of the US before that happened [0].

As a person who wished that would have been retroactively applied to my own encounter with police misconduct, I can assure you it is far from simple and took a lot of effort that was paid in blood; but so far it is the only State in the US that has removed protected immunity and made police personally liable for any crimes/injries they commit while on duty. This is the only deterrent that works, I would go so far as to say that if they refuse to terminate them (as it's common to just remove them from their precinct to another) that after so many complaints their pension should be reduced for every infraction.

My experience is that Police and Sheriff's office are still as arrogant as ever but are notably more tame towards civilians than they were before COVID in my interactions with them since, they are not only being constantly recorded which can and will be used against them in court but they were humbled by being restrained and forced to utilize deescalation and communication after a long history of Police abuse being the default mode of operation in what is mainly a predominately White and Hispanic population.

This is a very controversial point to remark here for some reason, but it must be noted as the criminal justice system was not swayed by Black Lives at tall because they comprise a small number of the population (who are disproportional profiled for sure) but rather push back from the abuse that even white women were subject to while being illegally arrested and then repeatedly tased whil ebeing forced and restrained to a chair (viewer warning: its pretty grim) and somehow still had to go to the Supreme Court for it to be properly judicated (settlement reached for the plaintiff with some token reform that just added another footnote to a long list of police misconduct in CO) because Colorado Law exempted police from obvious wrong doing [1]. And I know from personal experience that at least 2 of those officers present in that footage were still kept on the force.

The US is in major needs of a re-vamp to it's criminal justice system and how police should operate (starting by de-militarizing them) and we in Colorado led the way in that regard but it's still not enough, and most importantly is far from a 'simple fix' given the entrenched relationship between Police and politics as well as the strong might of the Police Lobby/Unions that protect 'their own' at all costs in what is still a rather rural and mainly conservative State.

Its an insightful read and the final graph analogy seems very apposite. But here is the rub: if microservices is a general graph pattern, it includes all the other patterns (likear, hub and spoke etc) as these are all just particular graphs.

In other words, you could implememt unix pipe like or plugin like microservices by applying certain constraints.
A lot of people who criticize c++ seem to still think it's 2008 and there aren't the crazy amount of compiler checks/linters/standard practices that have happened since c++11 was released.

Let's not give Reddit's management too much credit. They've lit a decade's worth of investor and advertiser money on fire and have precious little to show for it.

Oh there are a ton of interposer boards you can buy shipped direct from China that add CarPlay to an existing oem head unit the same way you can get reverse camera support (high jacking the video output when a certain but is pressed or the gear shift changes).
