What about very old books, or handwritten books, or books with images in it?

The only valid archival approach has to be taking a good photo / scan while the page is as flat as possible.

Every further processing can be done later based on that, as a separate step... as technology advances.

Also carefully FLIPPING THE PAGES is literally the whole problem. Everything else can be solved by lowering a glass pane on the book and automatically taking a photo from above.
Could you clarify the "XML is dead" comment? Don't all the major document formats still use zipped xml? I had to interface with an xml format recently, and that isn't something I ever did, and when I went looking for a crate that parses an xml schema I kept running across this whole xml is dead thing. But it still seems to be everywhere.
Once we had to ship millions of extremely small files to our customer, we ended up throwing them into a MongoDB and serve them with a web server. It worked great.

We tried to use an image of traditional filesystems (ext4 and fat32), but with most files being under 1 KiB, it was super wasteful.
Starting with the iPhone 6, iPhones became slippery due to the rounded sides. This stopped with the iPhone 12, with the return to flat sides. Except for a short stint with the iPhone 6, I skipped the whole rounded-sides era, and never used a case.
yes, you need root and a different implementation than with xorg, but yes you can
People could grow their own starches but it's painfully hard to justify when you can buy them for $1/kg at the store.
Depends; I think the state should have a fund to keep museums that aren't solvent around. A museum should never be dependent on capitalism, that is, ticket sales vs costs.
> This may sound like a dumb question but can anyone explain to me why our senses are not all just considered touch?

It is a dumb question. How would categorizing all our senses as "sense of touch" be in anyway useful? Why would we categorize obviously different things that work entirely differently as the same because, "at the end of the day, everything is atoms"

"Did you lose both your sense of touch and your sense of touch when you got COVID?"

"No, I thankfully, I only lost my sense of touch."
Gotta show off my creations after all.
Rust has extern "C-unwind" now, so if you can modify the C code to call Rust's panic instead of longjmp, it will unwind and run destructors properly.
Sort of reminds me of the argument that nothing can be artificial because we, as natural beings are making said things and thus following the chain, everything is technically originated from nature.

It's technically correct and does highlight that calling something artificial doesn't make it inherently inferior to something natural, but if we extended the meaning of natural like that, the term artificial would become meaningless while the need to distinguish between the "naturalness" of a CPU vs a plant would remain.
This is exactly how NAT64 works, and still doesn't solve the problem of IPv4 clients trying to connect to servers with only IPv6 addresses.

The backwards incompatibility is irreducible, inherent to the special place of Layer 3 in the networking stack.
wayland allow, discord just need to fix their application(if you open discord on chrome or firefox it work fine)
I suppose this is in the context where you will be syncing up the changes to a backend server which will also be storing the document in an SQL database. Normally, you might expect that data format on the client to be JSON/XML/something else, and you'd need to maintain logic that marshalls the document representation

SQL <-> In-memory representation <-> Disk format.

With SQL on the client, in theory you only now need to maintain

SQL <-> In-memory representation

Obviously I'm skirting over the format you would use to send either entire documents or partial updates of documents over the wire.
Wait, I thought the reason sip on macOS was so terrible was because you couldn’t overwrite whatever system files you wanted without jumping through hoops… why would you bring an anti feature like that to Linux?
My favourite Zheng He myth involves the discovery of a gigantic Chinese ship in the sand dunes around the southern coast of Australia, near Adelaide [1].

Apparently, the early settlers were astonished to see this giant Chinese ship in the dunes, slowly eroding away .. and it was apparently regularly visited by adventurers during the early years of the state, only to drift into memory as the sands shifted and it could no longer be found.

I sure hope we find it one day - what a treat it would be to discover that the Chinese had an adventure down there ..

I guess you could, but everything where you would even consider cutting the spine is probably not worth fixing afterwards. E.g. it's a contemporary magazine, where you could just buy 2 if you really need to keep a physical copy.
Wow, just wow.

I’ll end the discussion right here. It’s with sadness we must admit european future is very grim
Gotcha! will take a deeper look. thanks :)
IPV6 adoption reminds of the whole Python 2=>3 fiasco except it is much much worse.
Oh no! People from the future are using IPv6-only stack!

Jokes aside, where and why does this happen? Is it a genuine issue for some operators to route it?
Thanks for the added details, I wasn't aware of the 2004 case. Its all sort of messed up, and ridiculous for someone actually trying to follow the law.
Cities do not "struggle perennially against decline". Cities grow and grow and grow.
Unfortunately we are not going to see the behind the scene of the VFX of the recent videos, I saw the video about the train and the big hole, it's full of VFX but many people argue that the video is genuine so revealing the use of VFX would kinda ruin the video for many people. This wasn't true for the squid game video because the fun were the players challenging themselves, or at least I hope the viewers were not actually thinking that the players were doing tug of war on a 100m high cliff.

It's a choice you have to make.

It's the same as cigarets, you know it's toxic to you and others but still you want it regardless.

PS: I love cats and always had one until few years back but I don't want to have one to force him to stay indoor, as long as I don't have a place for it to go out I won't get any.
With this, you have a structured, transactional way of writing to whatever system files you wanted, with rollbacks and all. On macOS, only Apple does.

> Because pointing out that wars in the history of planet earth have irrational causes is a long way away from explaining why an interstellar actor should attack whatever it sees.

I'm not explaining why they'd want to or wouldn't want to: I'm suggesting that it doesn't make sense to simply default assume they won't be hostile because we can't imagine reasons why they'd want to attack.

I'm picking the example of Russia/Ukraine because it's the most recent conflict example that I can think of where the aggressor's published reasons for attacking - at least to many observers - don't seem to stand up to rational scrutiny. You can have a debate about whether that's correct or not, and different people will have differing perspectives. The point is that aggressors can be aggressive for reasons that don't make sense or seem rational to others. Within the context of this conversation I am not looking to take a position on Russia/Ukraine: it's simply an example that most people will be aware of. Perhaps too current though to avoid an off-topic argument.

I explicitly didn't say anything about "all offensive wars" in general.

Your narrow reading is, from what you've said here, correct and I wasn't trying to make a larger point beyond suggesting that we don't have much of a basis to assume beings from another world will or won't be hostile.

If I were trying to make a larger point I would have stated it explicitly. One of my pet peeves with online discussion is a culture of implication (i.e., people choosing not to speak plainly) that leads, in many cases, to other comments being overread/overinterpreted when they were never intended to be. Hence, I would have chosen to make the wider point explicit rather than leave it to chance, but it seems like I wasn't clear enough in any case, for which I apologise.
is a ra2 release on the roadmap?
Yeah it broke my use case. I used to run `curl --retry 9999 http://1.1.1.1` and since it didn't exit, the heat generated by the running curl process kept me warm in the winter. But now http://1.1.1.1 returns immediately, so I'm freezing!
> especially for a performance/watt standpoint, which for a laptop is somewhat important

I think it is more important to have a working OS with common functionalities working.

Sure I'd love my thinkpad to have 15hours of battery life. But then I am not living in a tent either so I'd rather be able to use the onboard webcam, plug an external monitor, sound working without having to plug an external card and stable wifi. And I'd throw a 500gr powerbank in the backpack the handful of times I really need longer battery life.
Catechins might be useful.

I think the paper leaves discussion of catechins’ benefits outside its scope, and given the incentives and limitations in academic publishing I am most often willing to show such…breathlessness? in introductions? some sympathy. As I read on to evaluate the technical and investigative and scientific merit.

On catechins,
To put it very very carefully:

In the scientific literature there are presented indications that catechins have a range of biological effects, and some are said to be beneficial.

Catechins are antioxidants. I’ve been surprised in recent years to find that antioxidants really do seem to serve an important role. Have learned this when navigating a critical period of health isses – I assure you that this has been a time with absolutely no leeway for chasing placebo effects or self-delusion. There’s much mumbo-jumbo on antioxidants. There’s also a bunch of clear scientific results on their benefits, which were in my view obscured by the mumbo-jumbo.

That is exactly was I was referring to with needing to know whether it was an origination stamp or what, ie the context of the stamp. That problem holds regardless of the format you store the stamp in, because even if there is a colloquial understanding of how to interpret a time change (1030 on Thursday is still 1030 on Thursday) it doesn't hold for every context (5 hrs from now is still 5 hours from now, except if when you said 5 hours from now you meant clock time)
I find it remarkable (in the British meaning of "certifiably insane") that a Brit would berate America for free speech when monarchist police thugs arrested peaceful anti-monarchist protesters at Chuck the Third's coronation and all British media supinely gave Buckingham Palace not just rights of veto and censorship over coverage of the taxpayer-paid event, but even the right to retroactively purge videos they didn't like.

Not to mention egregious British libel laws, where in a mockery of presumption of innocence it's the recipient of a lawsuit who has to prove their innocence, and libel tourism is routinely used by oligarchs and rich malefactors like Trafigura to silence the press and their critics, and shield themselves from accountability over their crimes.

The United States is far from perfect, but the neo-feudal state that is England is hardly in a position to complain.
The other user provided a source that has been used on wikipedia, whereas neither of your comments state any sources. Could you provide some?
Of course it saves money. The main selling line of the cloud is you're too dumb to administer, so just trust them and throw money at them.

If you're not too dumb to administer, then running your own hardware is invariably cheaper.

What's surprising is that so many otherwise technical people believe the cloud BS without really thinking things through. Anyone who can do basic maths can see that aside from trivial uses renting is always going to cost more in the long run.
Another good one is StopTheScript:

> I think there would be many more that wanted this if it were trivially easy to do

I've seen figures from proponents of Future Internet Architectures such as Named Data Networking claim that consumption is about 80% of Internet traffic. The truth is not everyone needs a Internet addressable host, mobile phones for example don't. And well, we're living in this situation today with CGNAT and you don't hear complaints from customers about not having Internet addressable IPs.

> What's the sacrifice in using IPv6?

Support. Enabling IPv6 on broadband consumer networks, small medium businesses, etc. means that you have to support the various devices v6 stacks and applications and ensure they continue to work just as well as they did with IPv4. IPv6 can still cause damage and the ability to support and fix these issues throw out virtually all incumbent knowledge.

If it were really just a "flip of a switch", everyone would've done it by now.
I don’t think much innovation happens year to year. At the beginning of iPhone development every other year Apple was releasing an S model of the previous year, which was just improved specs, but no new features. At this point the smartphone has stagnated, with small edge case features being introduced each year.
My first IDE experience was in 1992, with Borland tools, which I used most of them until 2000.

During this time using UNIX was a pain, only lessen by an heavily customized version of XEmacs.

On Amiga, Windows, Mac OS and OS/2, no biggie, there were good IDE experiences already.
Respectfully, I object. Evidently I wasn't clear enough, for which I apologise, but I've explained the intent of my comment in more detail in response to @SiempreViernes' sibling comment. Hopefully that clarifies.

I don't get it. When was shell involved with using Apache basic passwords or LDAP authentication? It requires extensive extra steps (pam modules etc) to plug these things into a unix system for authentication purposes. Also that would be authentication but access control implies authorization.

If you inserted `+ Leak` on every trait bound in 2021 code at parsing time, then I don't think you'd need any extra firewall later.

You'd just treat all code the same, as supporting Leak, and process trait bounds as usual.

I would recommend a guided series of lectures to get started with and then pick up a book or lectures pdf's once you are comfortable with the basics to expand.

In my opinion, there is a bit of a cliff of learning, where the beginning starts out harder, then begin the application of the theory. Others have mentioned, Little's Law, Erlang model, Kendall's notation etc..

Starting to learn, I would look at the following (since subject matter experts can explain the concepts and analogies much better):

* MAP6264 Queueing Theory, Prof. Robert B. Cooper.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsTuNP0N7DU

* MIT OCW, 15.072J | Spring 2006 | Graduate
* Queues: Theory And Applications.
https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/15-072j-queues-theory-and-applications-spring-2006/

For books, performance engineering/benchmarking topics usually contain a refresher on the basics and application of queuing theory which I think makes it easy to see its use.

To answer your question regarding one book to start with:

* An Introduction to Queueing Systems by Sanjay K.Bose

* Slides for Lectures Based on the Book
http://home.iitk.ac.in/~skb/ee679/ee679.html

* Sample tests and solutions
http://home.iitk.ac.in/~skb/qbook/sample_tests.html
Borland introduced syntax highlight on Turbo Pascal 7 for MS-DOS, if memory serves me right, while all their products for OS/2 and Windows 3.x provided it from the start.

That’s not what the article said. Verbatim quote (emphasis mine):

“…marigolds and sage plants exposed to the noise of traffic from a busy motorway suffered stunted growth”

There’s a link in the article with more details on the experimental design:

“The plants were grown from seed and allowed to mature for two months in the same space before they were divided into two groups. One group was exposed to 73 decibels of traffic noise recorded from a busy motorway in Tehran for 16 hours a day. The other group was left to grow in silence. After 15 days had passed, samples were taken from the youngest fully expanded leaves on every plant in the experiment and studied.”

The plants were exposed to sound in a lab, with a control group. They were not actually next to a motorway.

I'm not quite following. As I read it, the head of the government had information that enabled him to essentially conjure $3.3M of foreign aid for his country out of thin air, and you're saying that it would have been better for his country if he instead just publicly released that information? Taking this to the extreme, should "the public's right to know" preclude having any non-public diplomatic conversations whatsoever?
An artist starts with PS, they master it can can make beautiful art with it. Then they need to use another product, or work traditionally - there'll be another learning curve but a lot of what they already learned can be reapplied. They're still an artist, even if they exclusively use PS & don't understand the minutiae of traditional art/techniques to smear charcoal until they decide to try it.

A game dev starts with Unity, same thing. They're still a game developer even if they only know how to use Unity - a lot of their knowledge is applicable to game development in general. If they switch to Unreal there'll be a learning curve, but not as steep as when they first started.

The same logic could be applied to cooking: we don't refuse to call someone a chef because they specialise in Asian cuisine, they're still a chef. A physics major is as much a scientist as a chemistry major is.

And as to your last point, it's pretty baity but maybe you have a very narrow definition of art? What is art? Is taping a banana to a wall art? If so then the person who did it is an artist. Personally, though I think you definitely disagree with it, I think using an LLM does make someone an artist as they're using a tool to produce something with aligns with their vision - if they just pressed a button without any input at all, I'm not sure I'd call that art unless it's something performative. But otherwise I put LLM users into the same category as people using PS tools - there's plenty going on under the hood, but the artist is still feeding it with input.

Let's say an artist uses a coloured pencil for some traditional art, are they now not an artist because they don't understand the chemical composition of the pencil that the company worked on so that it leaves a mark just-so? The pencil is a tool that the artist inputs into, but the artist doesn't have to understand the workings of the pencil from an atomic or quantum level to be considered an artist.
