The backdoor in the EC DRBG algorithm was detected but never leaked because to actually open that back door required a key only the NSA had, but that key itself never leaked. Only the NSA could decrypt streams that used this PRNG. To everyone else they remained undecryptable.

So it's not a counter-example and your amusement is misplaced.
What is weird about it? Every square inch of this Earth is ours? Of course we're part of nature, as a whole. I didn't say otherwise.

I don't know why commenters are making wild and hyperbolic conclusions from what I said.

We have our cities, towns, and parks. A lot of so-called nature lovers love being in nature, but it's somewhat selfish as its harmful to nature and not everyone can do that. What I meant by "staying out of nature", which I thought would be relatively clear given the context, is to stay out of anything not explicitly designated as a park and trail. Even then, it is questionable whether our parks aren't harmful. When I've been to parks, I see less wildlife than I do in my own local yard and woods. It's likely to the heavy foot traffic and noise.

And yes, maybe it is time to reconsder our travel patterns considering how harmful they are to us, other animals, and the world at large. We can't have everything our way and expect no consequences.

it's probably not as obvious when you are just out of jail(which is a shame, being locked up should be exactly the time when you can educate yourself, but not in real life probably)

But using linux terminal as devbox doesnt mean you dont have access to modern auto-complete syntax lookups formating etc, there are vim/neovim/emacs with any kind of configurations for all of it, and it can be preconfigured by others with projects like https://github.com/AstroNvim/AstroNvim or https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs

So if you know anyone in the same kind of situation, you can advise them to use that.
If you don’t have anything more to bring to the discussion than pure rhetoric and straw man fallacies I don’t think it’s worse pursuing. You haven’t provided any evidence of what you say, only personal suppositions-- it’s fine, but you should review them when the reality doesn’t match. Have a good day.
One of the systems where the data could be delivered to was the System/32, which featured a compatible disk drive. The System/32 doesn't only share the design language but also the mirrored desk screen (showing just a rather small portion of the actual CRT).

> Nevertheless, it is true that Prussian imperialism ultimately was a disaster for Germany.

As long as Germany had a competent leader, they could engage in smart offensive moves and improve its standing. And they could have continued doing so.

The problem was strategic leadership fell into the hands of idiots and they backed the Austrians without a clear strategy beyond 'our armies smash'.

> In fact, the 2nd reich was illiberal, with a parliament which was mostly powerless.

Not really. Bismark had to spend huge amount of effort on managing the parliament. And they were constantly pushing into things and increasing their own power.

Even during WW1 the importance of the parliament is underestimated.

Adam Tooze has some good research on that.

I know eBPF is the latest coolest thing on the block, but sometimes I just don't get it.

There have been database and system tools to detect zombie services and underperforming queries since time immemorial.

If people do not have the technical competence (or are frankly, just too lazy) to make use of the tools available to them already, why is some random eBPF tool suddenly going to fix it ?

Nice, but don't forget that LoRa® LoRaWAN® and The Things Network® is all proprietary and patented stuff. The article is advertising.
That's a neat idea. The challenge will be to stop it from becoming a huge success because then you get all of the problems that are endemic on the normal internet as well. But that sounds like a very interesting and worthwhile project.
For all of those confused why fake images would ever be a crime, the legal argument is spelled out in the article:

Sitting in a small country, another argument for these types of programs is to promote the country/culture abroad.

In the same way, a country might host the Olympics, etc. Or – more directly – set up some sort of "come work/invest in country x" promotion program.

LoRa has pretty strict limits on how often you may use the frequency. That severely limits use cases. Browsing the internet is completely unfeasible.

But you said yourself that in your scenarion Austria would be allied with South Germany. And you conviniently forget the Ottoman Empire. Sure, WW2 history is much better known, and the Ottomans didn't exist by then anymore. But still, the Ottomans went to war against Russia by themselves, and were actually allied with Germany and Austria in real life. Also not to forget, not that long before WW1 Britain and Russia went to war over Crimea.

But sure, if your world looks better when everything can be blamed on Germany since, at least, Bismarck, by all means go for it.

Regarding Germany confidence, I mentioned that more than once, didn't I? Germany had one shot, they tried with some variation of the Schlieffen plan. They failed, but were too comitted to stop. Not that the Entente wpuld have been ready to negotiate a peace treaty to begin with.

But let's speculate, and pick an other evil war mongering nation responsible for the misery of the world, one that is equally redicioulous. The British Empire. Had Napoleon not tried to defeat Russia, but instead comitted to defeat the British in Spain, he could have formed a united nation in central Europe out of France, Spain, the various German Kingdoms and maybe even Austria as a very close ally. As a result, no German nation to behin with, hence no Hitler and no WW2 in the form we know it. So, the Brits are at fault, especially Wellington withbhis audavity to defeat Napoleon at Waterloo! See how that is completely laughable? History doesn't happen in a vacuum, and it did happen the way it did for a reason. What ifs are completely pointless, understanding why things happened the way they is very important so.
CTO & co-founder of The Things Network here! I've been working with LoRa for over eight years now, and I keep getting surprised by measurements like this. What started off as "line of sight works" went to a successful "LoRa moon bounce" [0] and now a sea level reception over 830 miles.

So, any physics people here care to comment how this works? Is this pure atmospheric refraction or is there something else?

If anything Versaille was to weak and the answers not clear enough.

German/Austrian alliance were clearly the aggressors and the German/Austrian were very aggressive unleash the armies into Serbia and Belgium.

One can argue that Russia partially mobilized first (in the border region), but unlike in the German case, they were still willing to do diplomacy for a lot longer.

Britain in fact did try to use diplomacy and Germany was the power preventing any such settlement.

Question: I am considering learning Go or Elixir to develop the backend for a high-frequency financial application. Focused strictly on concurrency and scalability benefits of each, which would be the better choice?

Granted they are probably both great at highly parallel and distributed computing applications, I am just wondering if there is an interesting differentiation between these two in this aspect that I should be aware of.
I am not convinced that the climate change argument will result in any concrete action. You can yell as loud as you want, most won't be able to understand the supposed impact of their action.

Instead of trying to synchronize humanity against a single enemy, we should try to encourage each of them individually to improve their life by being simple and make them want to switch and notice a clear immediate change.

Climate change has never been the battle to fight, nobody care. If you live anywhere close to a city you definitely don't, you may believe in it, but you do not care. And we should stop pretending that it can change.
The side view reminds me of Thurderbird 2.

> Of course we're part of nature, as a whole. I didn't say otherwise.

You said "to respect nature, you need to stay out of it.". This implies that we are not part of nature; there is no way to stay out of nature if we are part of nature ourselves. Or well there is one way, and that is to get rid of ourselves altogether. But I suppose this is not what you meant.
“Disk full” isn’t a hardware failure though, it’s a failure of monitoring and management, which are aspects of solution design you can’t reasonably specc away.
MVP is the parasite that killed software quality
Can't find the video and it's not a climate protestor per se. But this came to mind: https://metro.co.uk/2022/07/15/gb-news-reporter-laughs-off-w...

I've seen the video sometime back and it was absolutely bonkers the way they talked back at him.
It's important to keep in mind that selective pressure dictates how fast a beneficial mutation spreads in the population. If the terminte parasites were very rare, and there are only ever one or two per termite colony that eat a very small percentage of the food, any termite queen wo evolves the ability to recognize the parasite just a bit better would not have much of advantage compared to the other colonies. The positive mutation may be lost by chance again. However if the parasites were everywhere and take 50% of a colonies food, the small improvement in detection would lead to a significant advantage in reproduction of that termite colony, and thus the mutation would spread faster.
> Most books are written by sane, intelligent, and educated people.

Wait, what? Do you know how many famous authors suffer from some sort of severe mental illness? Ernest Hemingway, Edgar Allen Poe, Tolstoy, Fitzgerald, and on and on. In fact, most of the great artists in general have a mental illness they can ascribe their creativity to. They can also be quite intelligent and educated at the same time.
This is not entirely accurate. LoRa is a patented RF technology owned by Semtech. LoRaWAN is a standard maintained by the LoRa Alliance (which is not very different from other standards and marketing bodies). The Things Network (founded by @wienke and myself) is a developer community around LoRaWAN and a free to use cloud service intended for R&D and non-commercial use cases.
I agree 100% on the conclusion: nobody's driving. In particular, the fact that teens are sad is disturbing. If teens (do you remember how happy and fun life was when you were teens?) are sad, imagine how they will become when they are adults.

However, I am not really convinced about the list of effects and reasons that the author proposes.

From the article, it seems that climate change is the number 1 reason why teens are sad... Are we sure? I hope not... also because there is little that the West can do to fix that. Most of the emissions and most of the pollution come from China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam. Even if we magically (without polluting and emitting even more) the West goes to zero net emissions, we'd still have 99% of the problem to be solved. Or do you get rid of concrete? Or do you declare war to half of the world "to defeat climate change"?

No, teens are not sad because of climate change. Teens are sad because when they look at adults, it seems that there is nothing more important than climate change. Nothing more important than affirming their gender. Nothing more important than paying their loans. Nothing more important than owning a gun.

If life is not worth living, people become sad. This is why teens are sad. This is why adults stopped driving the bus. Nobody knows why life is worth anymore. Nobody knows where we are driving to.

Perhaps it's time to figure out again a reason for which it is worth to fight. And then we'll fight climate change (if we can), we'll fight the issue with guns, we'll fight for a more equitable education, we'll fight for everything that is worth fighting for. And if we fail... it's okay, we'll start again. Why? BECAUSE IT IS WORTH IT.

If you don't answer the question: why is it worth it? Teens will remain sad. Adults will keep not driving.
I don't know what you mean by that.

These things always have downstream effects, often quite negative. Bats are an important species that help keep insect and pest populations in check in addition to pollinating plants and spreading seeds.
Gebru always stuck to me as an activist rather than a scientist or an engineer. She has a strong resume but we all know how DEI is nowadays.

jq has regex support! :)
From the relatively little I understand the lower the radio frequency the lower the bandwidth but more range it has/can pass through, while conversely the higher frequency the more bandwidth but shorter range/harder to penetrate obstacles (see eg: 5G). LoRa is the former and used for very low bandwidth applications, so not really suitable for browsing websites but has been used for for remote IoT stats, text messaging, etc.

(Fwiw I wasn't the one who downvoted but thought it'd be worth mentioning)
A new jq release is exciting because it means that jq can finally stop mangling numbers that it does not do any math on.
I understand where you're coming from and often feel the same, but I'm also afraid that this is a clear case of inherent complexity: querying JSON is just a complex problem and requires a complex query language, regardless of how well a piece of software implementing it is designed. The same is valid for regexes of course.

Logistics, freight forwarding, global shipping is as removed from the latest innovation in IT as you can imagine. I worked for a client with a fairly modern stack but we hit major problems when it came to integration with the IT stack of a global shipping incumbent. It's even worse than the banking systems. That world still runs on paper, faxes and REST APIs are generally not used there, because they are too new. XML is all the rage because it lets them stuff Word documents into CDATA. FTP is cool too. It's extremely difficult to make a dent in that world, unless we are talking about dents to the sids of the shipping container ships hitting some rock.

That's rather off-topic but this article picture, with a woman pointing a gun at her head, finger on the trigger, intrigued me, so I followed the link to Adobe's stock photos. The photo is this one: https://stock.adobe.com/images/cheerful-woman-in-car-trip-jo...

There isn't a mention, anywhere in the tags, title, of the gun pointed at her own head. She's just a smiling, cheerful, attractive young woman on vacation sitting in a car, a finger movement away from firing the gun at her own head?

Are these keywords completely autogenerated with no human in the loop? And how does this picture happen in the middle of a photoshoot ("more from this series") that doesn't seem to involve guns other than in this one photo?

I also thought that suicide and lack of gun safety were somewhat taboo in the US, references to these things are very often accompanied with content warnings and such, so how does this photo happen?

I'm not outraged or shocked, just... very confused by this, I think.
