Why would your family have much trouble accessing the data on your system? Assuming you've stored the passwords someplace they can get to (and that assumes the disks are encrypted), even if they're tech-illiterate, they can just hire someone who knows how to work with Linux servers to retrieve the data (assuming that's what you're using). It won't be free of course, but unless you've devised some entirely custom OS and filesystem to store your family photos, it really shouldn't be that hard.

Of course, you should probably write up some instructions so they don't need to hire an expert, but in the worst case where you get hit by a bus before you write them, it should be possible to get to that data. The real problem is if you're using encrypted filesystems, and you didn't bother to write the root password anywhere.

What would be gained by making more different formats? Also #!/bin stuff is executable in sense and the most files in Windows that have default application set.

Dirt simple model works until it doesn't. Without address space separation there is no safety between executables and cooperative scheduling is the same. Running faulty binary or simply bit flip in ram can crash the whole system instead of just that process.

Crap, sorry guys. Luckily the other commenter was right, he found the correct link. The third party hackernews app I'm using has weird behavior when I edit a comment causing my spacing to mess up (why no line break between quote and my comment) and it also caused the ... to no longer be considered part of the link.

R even has packages to read in NanoSIMS data! [1]

There are perhaps a hundred NanoSIMS machines in the world as they're extremely expensive [2]. Yet we have an R package on CRAN to analyse their data!

Feels a bit like async on the programming language side. Just replace "waiting for memory" with "waiting for IO" and you're almost there.
Python didn't win, but it is popular in the data / ML / AI territory, and that ecosystem is attracting lots of developers. It's not about the quality of the language.

Ruby is everyone's favorite toy: Fun to play with, and you shouldn't do anything serious with it.
No... that's just listening to someone tipping you an answer.

Which if you are doing real diagnostics is often 100% the wrong answer.

I double check other people's work, and make sure that everything is right. Because one small misstep can result in not diagnosing an issue correctly.

Listen to what the user reports as the issue.... not the cause. Always work from the symptoms to the problem.
From my experience back then, it was about the libraries, not the language. I think this still is the case today.

Back in the day, Perl had all the libraries and they were easy to install and worked well, then Python overtook this had all the libraries. Ruby never really had enough libraries to compete against Python.
> There are dozens of sites like the Kiwi Farms, many even have "farm" in their name.

I'm aware. The OP is talking about KF.

> There are also completely unaffiliated sites such as Doxbin, which were responsible for a large amount of the harassment and doxing against Keffals. There's a tweet (xeet?) somewhere where she acknowledged that she knew Kiwi Farms wasn't actually responsible, but didn't care.

I have no idea who Keffals is or why you'd think I'd care.
Python was the first language I learned, way back in 2010.

Between 2010 and now, among "backend" languages I've picked up and played around with there's been Java, C, C++, Haskell, Scheme, Racket, Prolog, Forth, Go, C#, and Rust. You could throw bash, JavaScript and Verilog onto that pile if you want extra oomph - and indeed I switched from bash to fish last year, because it was just a much better language.

So when a tool shows me a decisive advantage, I do switch. But nothing so far has done so for Python for me. I just don't see any decisive reason to switch when I already think in Python.
> According to you being among strangers is already uncomfortable, so by your logic comfortable _public_ transportation is impossible.

Being among strangers is less comfortable than driving alone. A big part of comfort is being able to control your environment. Are you saying you wouldn't care if random strangers started walking around your house every day?

It is not necessary to be among strangers in public transportation - there are many trains that provide private cabins. It's just cheaper to not have them and just cram everyone into a one big room.

> You don't get to blame McDonalds for pollution if you choose to eat a Big Mac there every day.

I disagree. If McDonalds is polluting the environment, the government is to blame for not stopping them. Consumers are not, as they individually can't do anything about them.

You seem to imply that consumers should magically synchronize and all stop eating McDonalds at the same time to teach them a lesson, but I hope you see how that's just a pipe dream.
It really seems like Intel is designing this chip to support a very specific workload, when it would have been a better use of everyone's time and money to just rewrite the workload to work well on normal chips...
It was later in July. To be clear, filing a complaint is simply an online form. This does not involve or require lawyers or any expense.

The TLDR version is: We filed it as a violation of HB2282, Washignton State's Net Neutrality / Open Internet laws, the AG thought it was an appropriate complaint and forwarded it to HE. This gives them 21 days to respond. They (HE) responded relatively quickly, basically saying, "Nah, no we didn't and no we don't block access to it". At this point it'd be up to us to fight it further. We're not their direct customer, nor will we ever be (now). With that said, they very much WERE blocking access to the subnet as seen here ( https://images2.imgbox.com/b2/ed/Nc8NLQl2_o.png ) and here ( https://images2.imgbox.com/58/e1/1ZIn3YbZ_o.png ).
This is rough for Jitsi / 8x8. Requiring a login puts them at a level of "why not just use Google Meet?" to me unless you go through hoops to self host.

I'm down to experiment with self hosting, I just feel that most users out there won't be and it'll ding their user count. It might be for the best if it squashes the malpractice they are seeing.
Tell that to Google. You could almost feel how sexy the censoring people felt during 2020 at Google. Must have been a blast of a time.
One of the reasons that the licensing authorities dislike the Baofengs is that they can be easily re-programmed (by unskilled users) to operate on most any VHF / UHF frequency.

They are legal for use by licensed Radio Amateurs (because Hams can legally build and modify their own gear), but the importers used this loop-hole to sell them to other users (eg CB, MURS, commercial two way, etc). Unfortunately, the lax administration by the authorities have allowed this to become a serious issue.
The sanctions have also impacted Russia's economy, which is probably far more the point.

Also, US isn't the only country that exports LNG, how would they ensure that the US reaped the benefits fully?
I don’t know if Intel has the appetite to attempt another barrel processor.

The primary weakness of barrel processors is human; only a handful of people grok how to design codes that really exploit their potential. They look deceptively familiar at a code level, because normal code will run okay, but won’t perform well unless you do things that look extremely odd to someone that has only written code for CPUs. It is a weird type of architecture to design data structures and algorithms for and there isn’t a lot of literature on algorithm design for barrel processors.

I love barrel processors and have designed codes for a few different such architectures, starting with the old Tera systems, and became quite good at it. In the hands of someone that knows what they are doing I believe they can be more computationally efficient than just about any other architecture given a similar silicon budget for general purpose computing. However, the reality is that writing efficient code for a barrel processor requires carrying a much more complex model in your head than the equivalent code on a CPU; the economics favors architectures like CPUs where an average engineer can deliver adequate efficiency. At this point, I’ve given up on the idea that I’ll ever see a mainstream barrel processor, despite their strengths from a pure computational efficiency standpoint.
More like "Python got Pinterest to the point of being able to afford to spend extra $2M/year".
That was a good read. I tend to believe that Nextjs is a tool for frontend developers who want to build a full-stack app and Laravel is a tool for backend developers that want to build a full-stack app as well.

In my opinion the perfect combination would be to use Next.js for the frontend and Laravel for the backend as an API.

I find this attitude very odd. Surely some disagreements indicate a violation of their principles. What would the principles be worth otherwise? Surely this is the paradox of tolerance in a different package. Why not instead model communication as a bilateral contract?

> In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument

The problem is that we can't. The "marketplace of ideas" that many people imagine exists, can only exist when people are interested in honest debate and evaluation of their own ideas in the face of honest counterpoints and robust exchange.

If we should learn anything from the last several years of widespread internet noise, it's that honest, open-minded debate is a minority sport. The disingenuous propagation of bullshit in furtherance of either a dollar or an agenda, is far more popular.
> As I read the article, it occurred to me that one of the fundamental flaws of modern psychology (and its offshoots such as psychiatry and psychotherapy) is that they all tend toward a solipsistic, individualist treatment of the self.

This is by design. Psychology is intentionally about the individual and when it occasionally does look at groups it tends to do so through the lens of how a group produces value for the individual.

Sociology is the study of collections of humans. It is intentionally about the group and when it occasionally looks at individuals it tends to do so through the lens of how an individual produces value for the group.

This is not too dissimilar from the study of finance (generally micro, focused on individuals or companies) vs economics (generally macro, focused on the relationships between companies or countries).

Coal is being phased out, nuclear already out.

Is it? There have been two major nuclear power accidents in 70 years of civilian use.

The total death toll, including long-term cancer deaths, from Chernobyl is typically estimated around 4,000. For Fukushima it's a few dozen at most (while 25,000 died from the tsunami itself).

Meanwhile, the number of deaths from outdoor air pollution due to burning fossil fuels is estimated at 8.7 million – for the year 2021 alone.

They just need to make sure that the game aligns with organizational goals and the tradeoffs of that gaming are something the organization is willing to accept.

The problem is that few organizations are willing to explicitly state their accepted trade offs. They want everything.

So, say that the goal is feature release so that sales can satisfy a major client and land the contract. Your options are:

1. Have the feature quickly, but buggy. Well enough to demo, but regular use would see problems.

2. Have the feature work well, but build it more slowly. Tell the client "no."

3. Dedicate more hours of development time to the feature and cut other priorities to have it faster (this only works up to a point, so hiring 20 devs for a week onto a team of 10 doesn't cut the time from 3 weeks to 1).

Any of those are possible.

But getting firm agreement on one of those is something I have never seen. If a company incentivized speed, quality, or flexibility, it would get it as long as it accepted the trade offs. Instead, the company usually wants to measure speed while complaining about reduced quality.
>> that he was able to separate conjoined twins in a then-unprecedented procedure...

Didn’t the twins like. Die?

This is always brought up. Ben Carson separating twins. But like. They died. Multiple sets of conjoined people he operated on died I think.

Why do people always bring this up without mentioning that the twins died

To the best of my knowledge Ben Carson is and always has been a giant self aggrandizing douche who definitely has and had equals in his field
I'm not surprised. The German plan to liberalise Russia via extensive trade and energy integration with them was definitely demonstrated to be the massively wrong theory without evidence it always was.

Turns out, you can't introduce democracy to a country just by buying things from them, China is a very obvious exhibit B.

Best summed up by that dumb quip about "no two countries with McDonalds restaurants have ever gone to war".

>People who openly advocate for mass violence even if vague and theoretical belong in prison

I very much agree but this is so one-sided. Would you support arresting Muslims who support Shariah?
Would you support arresting Stalinists?

There are sadly so many groups that advocate for mass violence I think it's pointless how people only seem to care about the single one that's most vilified and defeated.
The constitution doesn't say a lot of things. The constitution is not the whole of the law, any more than the bible is the whole of religion. At the end of the day I think we've reached a point where the majority of the proletariat believe that they have a natural right to the freedom of thought and expression, meaning that they should not be subject to acts of force or fraud by private parties to interfere with that right. Further, the same believe that anyone engaged in commerce with the public should function as a public accommodation and offer their services to all and sundry. This just happens to be a very inconvenient opinion for bourgeoisie imperialists intent on silencing the proletariat to maintain their death grip on society.

To put it simply: Maybe if you'd just let people gripe away in peace on their little gossip forums you wouldn't have so many problems in the world.

> reduce the world to the kind of logic that underlies implying "if you feel a way about one case of X you must feel the same way about all cases of X ever in every context".

I never said any such thing or made any such argument.

The disagreement is about which events have occurred at all, and it's not about "mixing up" minor details.
That’s kind of wild. Is there any conceivable reason beyond the obvious that the CDC would do this? Seems asinine at best and pretty dark at worst.
In browser land, all open sites share the memory of the browser heap, and there’s no crosstalk at all. I think the way out of that particular issue is creating a closure around the function (application) that effectively acts like the application’s own context. What if an app could open an app? Or put another way, what if an app could be an OS to another app?
This is exactly what I mean.

The conversation is anti-censorship, and your hill to die on is the place named after the person they were trying to bully is just like the place where if you dig across the 450 million monthly users you'll find bad actors.

At the end of the day you're just elevating a sideshow above the actual anti-censorship argument at the cost of the former, but honestly it's not much sweat of my back. At the end of the day censorship is just the next net neutrality: sideshows based on the most useless cases of its risks burn all the oxygen in the room, no action against it taken, and the world moves on.

Outperforming optimised C is basically impossible for any JIT.

Theoretically, a JIT can do better because it can know more specifics but in practice it just doesn't happen.
> Python was much more scalable and maintainable language than Perl,

This is a really excellent point. We were a Ruby/Golang shop and out of nowhere one of the sales engineers starts writing scripts in Perl. He wrote some really useful stuff, but the downside was that it was incomprehensible gobbldygook baked into 4 or 5 lines, and completely unmaintainable by anyone other than the original author. After he left we decided to rewrite all his code in Python/Ruby based on the general idea of what we wanted the inputs and outputs to be, rather than assign anyone to maintain the actual Perl code.

Vs the 8-year-old analytics/data science codebase I had to unwind a couple years back, was written entirely in Python and was easily understandable from the first line and had been maintained by no less than six people over that time
You’re right I was thinking of PFAS chemicals, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are micro plastics in blood now however
You're probably being auto-flagged. Seems to be a feature intended to stop perpetually misbehaving users. Such as, ones who keep posting the same comment again and again and again for whatever weird obsessive reason. Or maybe it's just someone with very fast flagging fingers sweeping the new comments list.

> How about this then, I suggest, in order to both demonstrate freedom of speech and to entertain fans of KiwiFarms like content we create a KiwiFarms like site based on studying and publishing public facts on popular KiwiFarms members.

Sure, why not. Are there any potentially entertaining or ridiculous ones you have in mind, such that you feel it would be worth your efforts?
It's not a ruse. IMO Russia had two options. Allow NATO membership for Ukraine or invade them. I velieve if Putin would have allowed Ukraine to join NATO he would have had an accident qnd someone else would have ordered the invasion of Ukraine.

> the speech I (and the vast majority of the population) engage in is nowhere near as inflammatory.

According to who? History shows us that what people generally find acceptable or inflammatory has changed wildly over time. I think people should be able to love and marry any consenting adult they can convince to agree to it. That kind of talk would have had me crucified under McCarthyism.

You can't know what the prevailing opinion on the views you hold today will be even 5-10 years from now. People in recent times have been surprised to find themselves in very difficult situations because of that reality. In the US, our culture and values are less stable now than they've been in a long time. If you weaken free speech, as a right or an ideal, just to make yourself more comfortable today you might very well be surprised to find yourself censored or worse tomorrow.
> The site is literally about stalking people and documenting their personal lives for the sake of mockery.

You're half right, though I'd disagree with literally stalking — at the very least, there's variety and nuance. There's such a large variety of people discussed on the forum that I don't think you can make a blanket statement like that.

Is watching every video or stream from a content creator and posting in a forum mocking them "stalking"? Is digging through someone's old Twitter posts stalking? Is noticing that a person used the same username on multiple websites (some potentially embarrassing) stalking? Kiwi Farms defense is that it's all publicly available information, often published by the people they're mocking.

That's not to say that I agree with or cosign their behaviour. All I'm saying is that there's a large chasm between what people think Kiwi Farms is and what it actually is.
Bet you dollars to donuts its CSAM
I think you're describing a symptom (popularity in data contexts) rather than a cause. If you're looking for causes, https://jeffknupp.com/blog/2017/09/15/python-is-the-fastest-... makes a good case the answer is PEP 3118.
