DRY, SOLID, there’s a wrath of principles on why this isn’t correct. Here’s what Code Complete [0] has to say…

>” From time to time, a complex algorithm will lead to a longer routine, and in those circumstances, the routine should be allowed to grow organically up to 100-200 lines. (A line is a noncomment, nonblank line of source code.) Decades of evidence say that routines of such length are no more error prone than shorter routines. Let issues such as depth of nesting, number of variables, and other complexity-related considerations dictate the length of the routine rather than imposing a length restriction per se.

If you want to write routines longer than about 200 lines, be careful. None of the studies that reported decreased cost, decreased error rates, or both with larger routines distinguished among sizes larger than 200 lines, and you’re bound to run into an upper limit of understandability as you pass 200 lines of code.”

> That is pure propaganda BS.

Is it? Yes, a lot of what led to the recent putsches was Russian propaganda, but "Françafrique" has been collapsing for years now - understandably, given that France's attitude towards Africa hasn't been positive in any kind, it was mostly "we're happy to support whatever dictator is in charge as long as we get cheap natural resources".

France especially, but also the rest of the old European empires, never really managed to properly heal its relationship with its former colonies, and now it's biting us in our collective arses as these nations re-orient themselves to Russia and China.

Worth mentioning that if using this tool to harden ones ssh server or client, I would suggest hardening the client first and then test connecting to "all the things" one normally connects to and then harden all of the ssh daemons to prevent being locked out. If a server does not support stronger ciphers one can make exceptions in their ~/.ssh/config for that host. e.g. such as old golang / libssh libraries

Host some.old.host
# [snip...]
HostkeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-rsa

The benefit of going through this exercise is not just that it stops most of the old bots from negotiating but it also speeds up the client-server handshake substantially. Anyone making heave use of Ansible should certainly consider doing this. Use test/canary servers/clients first unless one has the t-shirt allowing testing in production.

This is the top end of the distribution shifting; a powerful storm powered by warm water that would have been nearly impossible without all the heat our extra CO2 has trapped and has been absorbed by the ocean. It's definitely a consequence of climate change, and it will get more frequent and worse.
The basic iPad costs $449 and the Pixel Tablet costs $499. The iPad weighs less than the Pixel tablet, 477g to 493g. The iPad battery is 28.6Wh and the Pixel Tablet has a 27Wh battery. I don't particularly care that the insides are 'emptier' in the Pixel Tablet, but to say they didn't do something because of weight or cost doesn't really appear to have any bearing considering it's the heavier, more expensive tablet.

The Federal drug war was architected by specific men with an agenda effecting specific laws that cracked down severely on drug use. Not all popular opinion was pro drug-use, but the public weren't writing laws and pushing the agenda, and there wasn't broad popular support for mass long-tern incarceration of drug users. Nixon was one of the architects along with his cabinet, you can read their internal discussions - they were shockingly racist. Pay attention specifically to the people in power who were responsible for starting the drug war, other random people's opinions really are irrelevant.

Nobody is asking you to take Grusch's testimony as gospel. We are asking Congress to investigate the very specific claims he made to the ICIG, including locations, people and projects.
I haven't. Let me know what I'm missing. If you're going to say the HOA stopped you, that's not a criminal law issue, that's a civil dispute. Meaning it's not illegal it's agreed upon by society to be annoying and deserving of a monetary disadvantage.
The poster above was claiming that "no one is claiming Grusch is untrustworthy". As an intelligence official, he is the epitome of untrustworthy-ness. To start detailed public investigations, you'd first have to believe that his words mean something.

Of course, I would expect some internal investigation into if and why he is claiming these things, if it's not already known. But I don't see why anyone should spend any significant resources (let alone the public at large) going by the words of someone who is payed to hide things from the public.

It's inherent in reading comments. And it's also inherent in encountering mere mortals in the real world. And remember how the most annoying and stupid people keep going on about how all the people they meet are stupid and annoying. There's no point in piling on another layer. Close the tab, or comment constructively and charitably. Else you end up with stuff like the badX subreddits (badhistory, badphilosophy) who get their adrenaline/dopamine fix by seeking explanations they see as ignorant/naive/arrogant and sneering at it while self-aggrandizing and feeling like they are in the inner circle who know it all.

The other thing is, you never see all the people who do go to Wikipedia, google or check a book. They won't comment "Hello I'm not commenting now because I went to Wikipedia". They just don't comment.

And Cunningham's Law states "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."

People are more prone to comment out of frustration than other feelings.

I couldn't disagree more. Non-touchscreen remotes (RIP Harmony hub) are far superior as is browsing on the TV. I like the separation of concerns, others in the room can see what I'm doing on the screen, and I'm never scrambling to open an app to pause/rewind/etc.

My pet theory is that people who feel this way have only used low-end set-top boxes (or ones built into the TV which are low-end) and/or have used crappy remotes.

Do feel bad for them but this is a problem of their own making. Many parts of their current situation were avoidable.

That doesn't justify what they've tried to do here though. This isn't just a price increase, it's a significant price increase, and a poorly thought out "revshare" model that applies retroactively people who signed deals with them and built a business model off of the deal they signed.

Even if this is 100% legally true, they can absolutely say that they are revoking all old licenses, and then if you used one, it's up to you to take Epic to court to prove that they can't.

The frustrating thing is that Google has made a tablet that had iPad-level or very close fit and finish, and that was the Pixel C. I had one. It felt nice to use. The problem with that tablet is that the software was awful, causing issues with accidental touch rejection, WiFi flakiness, somewhat frequent hard crashing, etc.

They had the hardware, all they had to do was fix the software. Instead they quit making Android tablets until the subject of this article was released.

People write this sentence seeming to imply it means "CEOs and management have a responsibility to be as ruthless and sociopathic as possible to deliver the highest returns, and any consideration of the people or communities they trample beyond legal requirements is itself borderline illegal."

There is a lot - A LOT - of room for ambiguity and debate on the specifics of shareholder value and "best interests." The "legal constraints to act in the best interest" is not some set of corporate rules and KPIs codified into our legal code write large. It's not about maximizing a specific KPI over a fixed timeframe.

Not to mention Sweeney is the majority shareholder in Epic's case.

Notwithstanding that p-values precisely can't tell you about the relative probabilities of different events (they measure the probability of data under a given hypothesis, rather than in favor of a specific alternative), you have it precisely backwards. In this case, we have anomalous observations, but we have a current-best-understanding of the physical universe that makes us skeptical of supernatural claims (a bucket into which I include magic star hopping aliens that only allow us glimpses of them jetting around our atmosphere).

So either we have a strong prior that the data needs to overcome, or we have a sensible null position (e.g., UAPs are the result of natural phenomena or human technology - probably both) that would need to be overcome by strong evidence.

It's still worth getting more specific and learning more about the bucket of things that get lumped together into "UAP", but that doesn't change the fact that I think people are completely justified in dismissing all the alien BS.

Exactly I'm glad someone is pointing out the problems with these piddly open source projects. Companies are too reliant on open source software, I mean it's not like open source tooling has ever taken off. Except for Emacs, and Vim, and VS Code, and maven, and ...

But seriously though the over reliance people have on open source projects is staggering, I mean really what happens when the guy who maintains Linux gets bored and wanders off, everyone is boned.

Therefore I agree with OP all open source projects are inevitably doomed to failure and can never work.
