There are really two Amtraks.

There is the Northeast Corridor, including the Acela, and then there is everything else.

I mean this fairly literally: Amtrak both owns are operates the NEC vs. the situation for the rest of the country. They even operate different Twitter/X accounts for service alerts between NEC and "everything else".

The Northeast Corridor operates something like a typical middle-distance, reasonable frequency, reasonable timeliness rail system would do in a European country. The rest of Amtrak is for rail fans only.

n=1 but over my 15 year career I've tried picking up elixir and found it too difficult to learn. I found the syntax hard to read and felt I had to spend 2x more time digesting a similar method than in scala/java (my background). I wish I had picked it up though, being a consultant in elixir seems lucrative and I've received multiple offers to maintain a phoenix/elixir codebase at $150/hr.

FWIW this isn't my problem with this project. It's that the writer doesn't know what they're doing and represents a new type of post-code/post-crypto monkey that just links together APIs in clever ways and tries to charge maximum $ for it by selling it to people (monkeys?) who think it's magic.

People like this will make a lot of money, and eventually do something that injures you and your family personally. So it's best to attack them and slander them early and often.

I am continually in awe of how rapidly terrible its gotten since Windows 7. I loved Win7 - it just worked, with a sleek presentation. Every release after was worse overall (I'm not saying good features weren't added, mind you - but the aggregate experience has been worse with every release for me).

(Note: I fully realize Win7 had a ton of windows warts under the hood - I'm just talking about the user experience)
I think we already have laws around misrepresenting things for sale... As far as furnishings: that's definitely spelled out in the contracts for what is included.

I'm sure it varies area to area, but the biggest thing I see in our area is things like adding sunsets in the windows or behind the property photos, but we wouldn't necessarily know if a Realtor had photoshopped out mold or water damage or the like.

The idea that Google always wanted to be evil but was stymied by that pesky motto and then decided "I know, I'll change the motto (but keep it in the code of conduct) and then I'll be free to be evil" is just disconnected from reality.
Keeping our data safe in the cloud is a big concern for companies, no matter their size. Protecting sensitive data, ensuring compliance, and safeguarding against malicious threats have become imperative tasks, especially in cloud environments where the traditional boundaries of networks are blurred.

But there's more to worry about with cloud security testing services. Cloud security testing isn't just an additional layer of defense; it's a strategic imperative that ensures your organization's cloud infrastructure remains resilient against an ever-expanding array of cyber threats.

In this blog post, we will unravel the multifaceted dimensions of cloud security testing, exploring best practices, innovative approaches, and techniques.
If I offer you a sentence for your article, and you accept it and include it, your authorial independence is undiminished.

Right, and I always have the same question to anyone complaining about this.

"If you hire someone to fix the plumbing in your house and you pay him by the hour, would you check that he worked what he's asking or do you pay blindly?"

Yes "Amazon bad" and whatnot but in the end it all boils down to the same thing, we live in a society where you want what you pay for, whether you're an individual or a company.

And as a plumber, if you don't want to be checked or followed by some annoying customer, you ask to be paid for the completed job, not by the hour.

I’m one of the maintainers of the project. We’re a DevOps team and maintain a lot of different types of configuration files for all the different tools and services we support - often in the same repo. Rather than using a lot of different validators for each config format we wanted a single tool to validate all types. This enabled us to include config validation as a quality gate in our CI/CD to detect config file syntax issues early before they failed in functional testing. We open-sourced it to help other teams with similar workflows. Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions!
The trend right now is AI, which is mostly written in Python. Most people want to write their whole stack in 1 language, whenever possible. So people just default to Python servers and React clients.

There is tooling like Carton being developed to work around this, but the gravity is always towards monolanguage stacks. In the past the incumbent would get stiff and lose resiliency, like Java or C. That's when a shiny new language like Python would come along. But with Python's governance and community it seems performance issues (Mojo) and developer experience (PEPs) are still improving. Python seems to still have sticking power.

Anyway, you're being illogical. A flawed argument will remain just as flawed when it is used to reach a true conclusion as when it is used to reach a false conclusion.

If you want to prove me wrong, show that it is sensible to infer from the fact that an extremely selected-for sample has some property that the entire population has that same property - and do so without appealing to a bigger picture. Because if you were to claim that appealing to a bigger picture is necessary, you would be making the selfsame claim that I am making.

Using Category Theory in Neuroscience

Windows can run APK files natively these days: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/android/wsa/

ChromeOS runs Android apps as well.

Apple has Mac Catalyst (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/mac_catalyst) which may just work with this wrapper.

Linux can run Android through Waydroid (though doesn't work as well as on Windows).

PWAs can be installed to desktop on practically any browser that isn't Firefox to make them look like native applications with icons and protocol/share handlers and all.

So technically, it's cross-platform as in "mobile apps that will work on desktop if you like a terrible experience"
It sounds like we both want to say that the holocaust is objectively wrong, not merely subjectively wrong. I don't know where best to start but I do think knowledge and problem solving are key to the answer.

There is objective truth about the physical world, and we work towards it by error-correcting and replacing our bad explanations with better explanations. Errors and bad explanations cause us problems, and we create knowledge to solve them.

Moral problems like the holocaust also require knowledge to solve. With more knowledge, we could have stopped the holocaust sooner. We can't just embrace ignorance and unreason and hope for the best, we need to create a continuous stream of knowledge to solve the continuous stream of problems we face.

You can't just commit to any subjective moral values you feel like and hope to have continual success in knowledge creation. Unbounded knowledge creation requires commitment to moral values such as tolerance, openness to criticism and change, and respect for truth. Blind obedience to authority, rigid acceptance of dogma and commitment to infallible final solutions are all morally bad and limit our ability to make continual progress.

Well, Argentina had plenty of opportunities to get itself in order (and could still do so), but I'm not sure that the US would let things slide so badly over a long period - they (and the rest of the world) would rather take the short term pain.

Possibly being a reserve currencies adds an additional burden to US policymakers, so they can't always take the easy way out.

WTF?
I would only expect this view from an organization pushing for total transparency (like advertisement industry or national security) or from somebody brainwashed by them. There is no need for such despair yet.

All of the points are not true I think:

1. People can still have guaranteed privacy (e.g. going into the woods with no devices). As with many laws an incentive to ensure privacy of others could be punishment in case of failure.

2. There is no absolute security, but there is security against certain threat models.

3. Why would data I keep on a device that is not connected to any network ever get public?
Eurofighter, without French participation as they have the Rafale, is actually quite a success. Thales is not really a competitor but rather a supplier of Airbus with some overlap in defense electronics. The Airbus defense electronics have been spun-off to a large extent in the form of Hensoldt so.

You underestimate how much leverage it gives the US of supplying the vast majority of NATO hardware. As ypu said, individual countries. If there are alternative programs to choose from, NH90 comes to mind, all the combined individual defense spending goes the US way. Which is quite nice, isn't it?
If you're using this for testing, it's likely that you haven't fully locked down your server yet. It's not an exploit in itself but it potentially makes the server a target. No reason to do that until and unless it's required.

These things take time. Do you expect such a new language to be adopted by 90% of developers?

Elixir 1.0 was released 9 years ago. Most people use C, Python, Java which have been around for 30+ years. I use Elixir full time but I know I'm on the bleeding edge compared to the vast majority of developers, let alone corporations which operate and change over longer timescales, and Elixir is a major paradigm shift compared to pretty much any other language. A C shop might plan to move to Rust, but Elixir is a completely another universe.

A much more interesting question is why didn't Erlang get much of a foothold in the industry. The fact that you are asking this question today means that Elixir has been instrumental in putting Erlang/OTP in the conversation, so its usage might finally start to grow thanks to a simpler syntax, healthier ecosystem and, most importantly, a lot of commercial interest.
Ironical how, this is a core tenant of erlang allowing for supervised processes with state.

Nitter currently uses so called "guest accounts" and a proxy network. Start here if you want more details:

The required proxies are the reason currently only nitter.net is working, but not the other hosted instances.
Although there are already a couple of options, e.g. Futhark, compared with those machines, GPGPUs are still too much focused on low level programming practices.

I think we need more expressive ways, like StarLisp has being researched for.

Some of the current CUDA work in C++ libraries, or having a Python/Julia JITs to PTX, are already nice steps into that direction as well.

I believe the economics of VPN companies is that they have a quite inexpensive, commodity product which has a lot of churn. The ads get people to sign up for a month or two at any price, which pays for the cost of the ads.

Tom Scott’s video a few years ago helped, but some creators still seem to be saying or implying that using a VPN makes your browsing “safer,” which unless you have a very specific need for a certain kind of safety, is untrue. I wish VPN companies would audit the claims their partners are making about them, but there really isn’t an incentive to do so —- if their brand gets damaged irreparably they can release a new VPN under a different brand.

Elixir is like a magic potion for network-bound applications, but most people aren't working on network-bound problems. It still has the elegance and consistency when you're writing a regular application. You just have to know the basics of functional programming to grok the program flow.
Yes, I found this very confusing at first. Thanks for confirming.
What were you typing for him?
He's absolutely right, you really can't trust anything they sign anymore. This is why Microsoft has been so defensive about their stance since it occurred. I've said the same since the news got out, but all my Microsoft-y friends I told didn't care. In fact, they all shrugged it off like "what are ya gonna do?"

That's exactly the problem - what ARE companies going to do? Migrate OFF windoze? Migrate out of Azure? To Linux?

Certainly not, Microsoft-y admin only know Microsoft, they usually can't do much else, it's all they know. They certainly won't bite the hand the feeds them. That means the organizations are stuck, which is exactly what Microsoft wanted all those years ago with a monopoly, and got it.

Customers too stuck in their own ways to do anything but be a slave to Microsoft and their constant insecurity deserve what they get sadly.

I already asked if you don't consider burning down stores to be at least as impactful to commercial trade as blocking roads, but you didn't answer. I'd argue that burning down multiple businesses has a far higher impact than just blocking the street temporarily when it comes to "blocking access to a business", as you put it.

And whether or not the protest has that as the "stated goal" is irrelevant. It happened, thus in order to stop it you should be willing to apply the same force of law.

You seem fine having two different standards - one where blocking a street in protest deserves suspension of Charter rights and one where burning down businesses doesn't.

You're entitled to your belief, but I can state that it doesn't make a lot of sense.
For a technology to become widely used it usually needs one or more of these factors when it is released:

1. A big company that adopted it in a major way or created it (Go, Java, React).

2. A very low barrier to entry (Go, node.js, Python).

3. A major leap in productivity compared to alternatives (Ruby+Rails, Python).

Loading the whole history into the context window is, indeed, dumb.

Most implementations I’ve seen recently involve using embeddings/RAG against the chat history (plus any other public, proprietary, or account-specific knowledge base you want to include) to only pull out the most relevant aspects of the history to include in the prompt envelope. Embeddings are cheap (don’t even need a transformer for them) and RAG lookup with a vector DB (e.g. pg-vector) is fast and efficient.

You also don’t need to always his the 32k endpoint — you can save that for higher tier accounts, and even then only use it for queries where the prompt length requires it. Yes you’ll truncate some responses where prompt plus response > 32k, plus if your use case typically results in those kinds of situations then your pricing should probably be relatively high/“enterprisey”.
Most software vendors switched to subscription model, so that’s not obvious anymore. Yeah and as you mention, good luck getting experts for all of your software and hardware components unless you are a big tech company.
