With pipes, the sender has to add a SIGPIPE handler which is not trivial to do if it's a library doing the send/recv. With sockets it can use send(fd, buf, MSG_NOSIGNAL) instead.
There was a parallel universe where VB was going to be a web scripting language.

That idea got hamstrung by two things:

1) It turns out cross-platform web compatibility was way more important than anything else, so nobody wanted to write web pages using vbscript if that meant Netscape Navigator / Firefox couldn't read them. MS wasn't willing to either let the language go into the public or subsidize developing the engine for other browsers, so the web dev space just kinda... Didn't care

2) It may have hung on as a scripting language for IE-only stacks, but the Microsoft antitrust lawsuit (and subsequent appearance of Chrome on the scene as a better enterprise browser, with its stability improvements and process sandboxing) ended that era.

A solid 90% of mental health issues stem from the inability to choose where to place your attention. The only activity that I know of that teaches this important ability is meditation. And the only place I know of that teaches it well are the Vipassana 10-day retreats (dhamma.org). They help you by taking away all distraction, giving you a safe, quiet place to practice, and all the encouragement in the world.

This library can be used to create string class hierarchies. That, in turn, can help to use typed strings more.

For example, e-mails and urls are a special syntax. Their value space is a subset of all non-empty string which is a subset of all strings.

An e-mail address could be passed into a function that requires a non-empty string as input. When the type-system knows that an e-mail string is a subclass of non-empty string, it knows that an email address is valid.

This library can be used to check the definitions and hierarchy of such string types. The implementation of the hierarchy differs per programming language (subclassing, trait boundaries, etc).

Yeah, that's pretty common in home smart devices. Looks like Google patented one version and Sonos has their implementation too. In my experience it works better than Bluetooth, especially in (2.4 GHz) noisy environments
Yes, typically it would be used to mean things like the code mutates data in place rather than using persistent data structures, explicitly loops over data rather than using higher-order map, fold etc. operations, and explicitly checks tag bits rather than using sum types.
LLMs of today display amazing abductive abilities but are limited in inductive and deductive abilities, as well as other optimization techniques of classical AI and algorithms. These abductive abilities are unique and exciting because we’ve typically done really poorly with ambiguous and complex semantic spaces like this. However I think the excitement has obscured the fact it’s just a piece of a larger machine. Why do we care that LLMs are mediocre chess players when we have machine models using more traditional techniques that are the best chess players on earth? Why do we care they fail at deductive reasoning tests? At mathematical calculations? Those are really well understood areas of computing. Somehow people have fixated on the things we’ve already done that this new technique fails at, but ignore the abilities LLMs and other generative models demonstrate we’ve never achieved before. At the same time the other camp only sees generative AI as the silver bullet tool to end all other tools. Neither is correct.

Great post. This part goes too far, I think:

> Human lives were kept safe at all times

> The consequence of all this was not that any human lives were put in danger, ..

When you're arguing that cancelling 2000 flights cost £100M and that no human danger was incurred, something should feel off. That might be around 600k humans who weren't able to be where they felt they needed to be. Did they have somewhere safe to sleep? Did they have all the medications they needed with them? Did they have to miss a scheduled surgery? Could we try to measure the effect on their well-being in aggregate, using a metric other than the binary state of alive or facing imminent death? You get the idea.

Of course I agree with the version of the claim that says that no direct danger was caused from the point of view of the failing-safe system. But when you're designing a system, it ought to be part of your role to wonder where risk is going as you more stringently displace it from the singular system and source of risk that you maintain.

Yes but not the same order of magnitude transient as we're discussing here. E.g. a fuse isn't a fuse if you force a gazillion joule transient through it. Current keep on flowing. Same with shunt protection: it can't shunt all the transient energy before it vaporizes.
OpenAPI is more than just documentation generation, it’s also used for runtime time validation and codegen for both client and server stubs. I’d argue that what’s discussed in this article can complement OpenAPI but doesn’t replace it.
No i haven't worked with cells, but the person who implemented the cells-silicon computer of Cortica claims to be a doctor and have figured it out somehow. I don't know what the limits of such product would be, but cell's death would be one of the limits for sure. There may be some more insurmountable problems with such technology, that i have no idea about.

What i do know, if a technology like that exists, it has certain markets which is a better fit, than pure silicon. Anything wearable for example. V.R. headset is just one wearable device which comes to mind.

Your comment is just describing the winner-take-all negative framing environment in a more colorful manner, while willfully ignoring where the abstraction falls apart. For example leaning on the idea that communication requires a "bipartite" agreement is a bit rich when the sheer majority of web communication involves at least three parties.

FWIW you can apply your argument to an ISP to make the argument that it's right for them to arbitrarily censor as well.
Well, because it is a feature. It's really cool and I already have ideas for projects I want to do with it. An omnidirectional way to map an entire space that doesn't have the limitations of or require cameras is incredible. And one that I can potentially use to map myself as I walk around. It's basically the end game of motion controls.

The popularity will explode the moment someone makes a commercial where someone is cooking with something messy and using their phone without ever touching it.

It's the people who make or break it. "This technology is too dangerous and must be destroyed, but hold on I need to use it first because it's really useful" doesn't feel like the strongest condemnation.

In the meantime my neighbor at my last house wanted me to limb up the conifer trees past my roofline so that he didn't get needles on his car.

One that wouldn't work. Two, those trees would have fallen on his house in ten to fifteen years because his house was east of the trees, and 'lions tail' tree pruning creates a giant lever arm and the roots will lose that battle in the first wind storm after a rain storm. That pattern had just played out ten years prior all over town. Big pruned Doug Firs falling onto people's houses.

Wouldn't a simpler solution work here? Instead of trying to validate the filter regex, show some sample IP addresses or let the user insert a set of addresses, and then show which ones the filter matches and which ones it doesn't. Also helps address the problem of incorrect filters.
VB lives on as Visual Basic for Applications, but you have to have MS Office to get that.

What is lacking is a compiler to make a stand-alone file. MS Access has the most robust Application object, in my experience.

Basic as such has, e.g. https://www.freebasic.net/

My understanding is that the ActiveX goodness that makes VBA quite handy for your stand-alone needs is also a security nightmare.

Nice to see another CTF enjoyer :) I've always thought about using Ghidra for vm challenges, but I'm still not sure if it fits the typical timeframe. Although I never used it, something like binja seems more favourable to quick and dirty scripting.

About custom pcodeops, yeah I was really tempted to use them for TLCS-900. For example, instruction `daa` adjusts the execution result of an add or subtract as binary-coded decimal, and the pcode for that is just inglorious (but I'm sure there's worse out there): https://github.com/nevesnunes/ghidra-tlcs900h/blob/5ff4eb851...

DC current on long transmission lines saturates mains transformer cores, turning the high voltage primary into a short circuit at the peaks of the "unlucky" side of the AC waveform.

https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9652509

> When CMEs strike the magnetic field of the Earth which provides protection against the fast-moving plasma becomes compressed and results in a varying magnetic field on the ground. This magnetic field variation generates a geoelectric field on the Earth’s surface and leads to Geomagnetically Induced Current flow through man-made technology. This GIC exhibits a very low-frequency quasi-Direct Current (DC) (less than 1 Hz) with amplitudes of 10–15 A and up to 300 A peak current for 1–2 minutes that flows along conductors and technological infrastructure. The power transformers which are connected by transmission lines are the most affected by GIC events. The GIC enters from the neutral ground point of the star-connected (wye) transformer windings and divides equally among the phases. When the GIC flows through the transformer windings, a DC magnetic flux is generated in the core, whose magnitude depends on the GIC flow magnitude. This DC flux is then superimposed on the AC flux in such a way that the asymmetrical saturation takes place in the magnetic cores of the transformers (half-cycle saturation) and increases their reactive power consumptions critically.

> During saturation phenomenon, transformers draw an extremely large asymmetrical exciting distorted current that is rich in even and odd harmonics. These harmonics can trigger the relays improperly, overheating the generators and transformer’s windings and cores, leading to unstable operations of the power system and could result in long-term damage to the system’s components. These effects may turn into catastrophic failures (i.e., permanent damage or blackouts) if they persist for a few minutes. The 1989 geomagnetic storm in North America that lead to severe economic losses is an example of such catastrophic consequence due to the effects of GIC.

This sounds like it would be right up my alley. I'm not a professional developer of any kind but have done hobby coding on/off for years, and I'm better at excel than the average user.

Currently working for a consulting company with a whole region's health system as the client. They use excel for lots, but it's all very basic stuff. I had one of my team members spend an hour whipping up an excel form for them that auto generates letters to different departments with all the necessary information. Even some basic standard work forms, let alone any sort of automation, would help them a lot as they rely on people to send certain information that gets missed every time. They described our excel sheet as a game changer for them.

Almost no-one has access to their ERP system which is safeguarded by a certain department which is ridiculous. I'm working on a spreadsheet for their HR team to calculate bonuses for certain employees based on a bunch of variables, then auto-generating letters to review and distribute. The data from their ERP software is such a mess, but I'm making up for it by cleaning up their reports in excel. I plan to get access to their ERP system to look at what kind of reporting I can do as HR only gets a report from the system once a month. I want to help them track real time stats for hiring, etc. And curious if I'm able to connect some spreadsheets to their ERP with an API or something (haven't done anything like that before).

Anyways, that professional development for excel book looks interesting. I see the second version is from 2009 and may not even be up to date with 2007 excel. I'm sure most of the concepts would stay the same though, so I'll definitely have to check it out.

I realize excel wouldn't be considered the most professional or robust way to build applications, but since microsoft 365 seems so standard and everyone uses excel, it makes sense to me why so many organizations use it. There seems to be a lot of potential to apply some excel automation in a lot of industries, especially ones that already rely on it as others have mentioned in this thread. I use it as a means to an end when helping clients, but I also see dollar signs as I find ways to build things that can be applied to so many industries.
When doing calculations on paper, you can write your interim results anywhere. That's what excel copies. It's also why text in excel files will gladly overflow into adjacent cells.

Take a 1 meter by 1 meter square, and scatter a bunch of points inside. Every 3 of those points forms a triangle with those points as its vertices. Take the smallest one of those triangles and compute its area.

This process (consider every triangle and compute the smallest area) gives you a function which takes an arrangement of points and returns a number. Now ask which arrangement of points gives the biggest such number. This is the biggest smallest triangle problem and it appears to be very (very very very) difficult.
> Treating with a foreign government as a civilian (not a member of the State department) is actually treasonable. Go read your law again.

Of-course you are banging the drums of war - you are terming the CEO of a commercial civil company denying the extension of his platform for the purposes of war as treasonous. There is no character assasination here. It is a very simple statement of fact.

You are also making the classical strawman argument. He did not make any treaty with a foreign government. He instead refused a foreign government the extension of his commercial civil service against another sovereign government for the purpose of War. He protected his business - which is lawful by his rights. As I said dude - call out the law where the CEO of a commercial company cannot do this.

Call out the declaration of war made by Congress or the President. Without either, calling it treasonous only makes it treasonous in your febrile imagination.

A counter anecdote is that I have the exact opposite use case. I don't share my computer with other users, so I've never needed something like profiles. Firefox containers are great for keeping different sites, especially those notorious for tracking (e.g. Amazon, Google, LinkedIn) completely isolated from each other or from general browsing. Plus, the extension that allows for creating temporary containers is great for one-off visits to e-commerce sites without needing to switch to a new private/incognito window. I'm not sure I've ever wanted my extensions isolated by container/profile, that seems like it would hinder productivity. Same for history. It's great having all my history commingled, especially if I want to find something from 30 tabs ago.
I'm not sure I agree — most common regex editing tools available online include a section for adding test strings to verify what you actually wrote is correct. Clearly there is a benefit to it. In similar vein, allowing the user to test before they commit and then test actually reduces their work load, they don't have to drop and then reload the whole regex in their mind.
