This would lead to a massive confused deputy vulnerability for unix domain sockets as already exists for localhost + port.

For a great example of this, see how Guile's live REPL was localhost + port... cool, only local users could access it, right? Except browsers could access localhost + port, and it turned out this was a path to being able to do arbitrary code execution in the browser https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2016-10/msg000...

Switching to unix domain sockets was the recommended path, and that's only because browsers don't support them.

If you want to support unix domain sockets, you could, but it would have to be via object capability security discipline, and the poster explicitly talks about an ACL "protecting" things... it wouldn't.

Luckily this is 3 years old and hopefully will never make progress.
I remember telling my tutor in the first year of a (pure) mathematics degree that I didn’t really enjoy analysis because I “couldn’t see why anyone should believe in the real numbers”. He looked at me as if I was slightly mad. At the time I’m not sure I realised I wasn’t totally alone in having such worries.

It seems that most professional mathematicians have never really given it much thought (or at least no more than other ontological, ‘non-mathematical’ questions). Of course, when it comes to fundamental physics it all starts to become more relevant.

edit: My comment shouldn’t be taken as a recommendation. I’m not suggesting mathematicians should worry about such things (it may well be a waste of their time!). I’m simply surprised that more don’t find it as unnerving as I did at the time.

No; Google Drive is designed to act like a separate, well, drive that you can store data on.

In earlier times, their desktop app would synchronize the files in Google Drive with a folder you designate on your computer, because that was what was supported; these days, it mounts as if it's a network drive (at least on macOS; I don't believe I've actually seen the desktop app in operation on Windows recently).
But have all other manufacturers been "innovating up the wazoo"? OKI? Kyocera? Lexmark? Olivetti? Xerox? I look at their offerings - say, for a plain old A4 B&W laser printer, and see more or less the same thing. Maybe the LCD panel can get a little fancy on some models...
> I find the idea of a universe with a discrete substrate both natural and compelling.

I really like the idea of a finite, ever growing, and totally knowable universe. What Wolfram is searching for. The universe was a small finite graph at the beginning (which we can possibly know by looking at the sky), and it grows since that, according to some deterministic rules. This means that the universe is perfectly replayable, we can replay history, observe the thoughts of famous people, and such.
(I'm also replying myself concerning the problem itself).

Unless I'm getting myself completely wrong, this also seems to be a very unusually simple problem for IMO's standards. I don't think I ever got myself solving one of them when I tried in the past, but if I'm not fooling myself the most natural approach for this one seems to bring to the solution:

1) Look at the two smallest divisors 1 < d_2 < d_3 of n. Then d_2 is necessarily a prime p, and d_3 is either p^2 or a different prime q. Let's first prove the latter can't be the case: if it where, looking at the biggest 3 divisors [n/q, n/p, n], we'd get that there's an integer a such that:
n/q * a = n/p + n.
Simplifying a bit, we get (1+p)q = ap, which is impossible because p divides neither p+1 nor q.

2) So, for n not to be a power of p, it must be 1 < d_2=p < d_3=p^2 < ... d_{k+1}=p^k < q. In particular, p^{k-1} must divide p^k+q. However this is also impossible, because p^{k-1} obviously divides p^k, but not q, so it can't divide the sum.

Gosh I feel like a grumpy old man saying "those youngsters, on my days we used to have harder problems than this" ;-)

> and I can focus on actually just doing stuff.

Why people love blaming Emacsians for having an obsession with configuring everything "so things are exactly right for them", I will never understand.

It's not about configuring for the sake of configuring. It may feel that way in the beginning, but after a while, it becomes simple to make stuff "just work," as you say.

Take this simple case of dealing with URLs, for example. I share tons of URLs with my colleagues, and I have to consume tons of URLs shared with me. Every single day. So, I have a way of sharing the exact places in the code. What it does is it figures out all the relevant information:

- The repo

- The Git branch

- Fully qualified name of a function or a line number

And then it creates a Markdown Link with a description and the exact place on GitHub for that line of code. It takes me a single keystroke to share that with my teammate and I don't even have to leave my editor.

My teammates may not bother with doing the same thing manually. They would just share a link without a description. And when the URL looks something like: https://github.com/foo/bar/blob/fbf7e86b8e8372e460af5a283c05... it's impossible to tell what that thing is about without opening it in the browser. Well, again using a single keystroke, I can convert it to Org-Mode or Markdown. It goes to GitHub, logs in using my token (because it's in a private repo), and figures out what that thing exactly is, giving me a URL with a description. I can store it in my notes and search for it later.

So the question you really need to ask yourself - are you a power user or a programmer? I am the latter, so I don't feel that writing code that makes the computer do exactly what I meant it to do is a waste of time. I write code so I can focus on actually doing stuff. And if I need to spend an hour to write some code that makes me just 0.01% more efficient, well, fuck it, why not?
It's almost as if hypergamy is real. Shocking.
My problem with code search is that when I’m searching I’ll randomly get dumped to github.com/search with the search blanked, and anything I put in the search box at that URL is ignored. I have to go back in my history until I’m in the normal GitHub UI again. My search has also been discarded there, but at least I can interact with it.

This right here.

My thought is that AI will transform aspects of the job, such as outlining, ideating, or formatting, but it will not replace the job.

While not necessarily related to Wikipedia, I focus a lot on the offline usage of my phone: I fly a few times per year and I like to travel. Even in 2023, internet is not always working so great. Two important things for me are:

* Stardew Valley - Great game, pay only once, play offline, no ads.

But it's not speculative at all. There are only like three sentences of any substance in the whole thing. A parrot who is more an idea than a character speaks to the reader claiming that a parrot understanding shapes and colors means that parrots are sapient, and humans not recognizing that means we won't recognize sapient alien life, P.S. humans are killing all the parrots. There is no story. The essay being from the perspective of a parrot instead of a person talking about parrots has no consequences and doesn't change the work at all. The whole thing is incredibly facile.

We Puerto Rican parrots have our own myths. They’re simpler than human mythology, but I think humans would take pleasure from them. Alas, our myths are being lost as my species dies out.

That's the only fictive part of the entire work.

It's just so lazy to change the premise of something without that change having any meaningful impact. What makes the statement by the parrot different from if it were from a human? Nothing whatsoever, and that's why this is a bad "story".

To be clear, these were bluetooth headphones which would sometimes work with pulseaudio but it was a coinflip whether they would work properly or jerk me around for an hour. On paper it all should have worked, but pulseaudio just isn't reliable.
To add to the other anecdotes here:

I've always used multiple browsers at the same time. On my local workstation I used Edge (used to be Chrome) for corporate and customer stuff, Firefox for everything else. Firefox runs faster with less headaches than the others, even with ADO, which is funny to me.

When I encounter environments where only Chrome is available (e.g., jump box or application server in a customer's network) I have to deal with Chrome eating up too many resources. I often have to kill other users inactive sessions due to how much memory their Chrome process is using. I've seen it affect production performance due to it eating up so much memory.

The only user app I've seen that sometimes uses more memory on those customer hosted systems is Oracle SQL Developer.

Firefox is simply better for me. However, I won't argue with others on personal preference, hence why I don't just uninstall Chrome where I find it. Also I don't want those people to lose their bookmarks and browsing history.
They probably want to use user info on what they search for, what they use, etc to better filter between good/bad popular/not-popular code for finetuning things.

I'd call it more of a dishonourable mention. If you're looking for niche theories in physics with discrete spacetime, I guess you'd want to look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causal_sets
I'm not sure if I'm agreeing or disagreeing or just providing context, but for me personally it's not about being attached to a particular browser, rather it's about being repulsed by most of them. Edge is user-hostile spyware, Chrome is approximately the same but Google flavored and very very marginally better, I don't trust most Firefox forks to stay on top of security issues, and I don't use a Mac. The result is that my only options really are Firefox, or maybe some of the lesser WebKit browsers. And even then... I'm writing this comment in Firefox, but I don't even particularly like it, it just sucks less than the alternatives.
Yes, I had one, or maybe something very similar (Casio?), with an optional mini-cassette recorder. It also had non-volatile memory cards. In spirit and usefulness very similar to the Atari Portfolio, though the Atari was much more powerful.

You could compile DOS programs in for instane C and run them on the Atari, so it could really be a portable workstation if that was your thing!

If I recall correctly, the C compiler from Turbo C ran on it directly, so you could even develop directly on it.

It wasn't really a conscious choice on my part, I had to get the subscription since I needed to collaborate on some files with people who were using it, and it forces you to add shared folders to your own Dropbox if you want to use them for collaboration, causing them to count towards your quota which is very annoying.

So I thought I might as well use it as a backup location if I have to get this subscription. I don't really expect privacy from these services, I guess it's a tradeoff.

Solving Go means determining by what margin the first player can win,
or equivalently, at what komi for white the game is a theoretical draw.

That also makes it dependent on the exact rule set used.

E.g. 2x2 go is a +1 first player win with the Tromp-Taylor rules of Go, while the Japanese rules are not even sufficiently formalized to allow scoring a 2x2 game.
Much of reddit is incapable of generalized or abstract thought, especially when done in humor.
True. I let it continue and even prompted it with hints but it cannot find the proof that non-prime powers fail. It can however prove prime powers work.
Great point. I think this brings up the question of ethics in advertising - how far are you willing to mislead your audience in order to support your claim? It's likely that Tuta didn't even mean to intentionally mislead (10 is a nice round number, so why not throw in something completely random), but they should be held to a higher standard, considering they're speaking from a position of authority.

Going a bit offtopic, in my opinion this supports the argument that users should in general be free to block ads, on the basis of being able to filter the content they consume, based on the credibility of the source. Establishing the credibility of the advertiser seems impossible even for the websites (ad network: "just load this 10mb JS from our CDN"), so blocking ads entirely (or allowing them selectively) seems like a reasonable recourse.

Professional mathematicians have given it a lot of thought. Your tutor probably just didn't wonder enough about it. I did my graduate studies in numerical methods of mathematical physics, and everyone I talked to agreed, that the continuum assumption creates a lot of problems. But even so, the nice things they give in the space of functions and numerical convergence has been more important than the difficulties they cause. And hence, continuum analysis it is.

In one of my papers, I actually assumed that two features in material have to be minimum epsilon distance away to show that the method convergences in a reasonable amount of computational effort. (where epsilon is arbitrarily small)
So, I did break the continuum barrier to do some useful physics ones.
No, not out of the box. They don't really support any automation, you can build something using Home Assistant or If This Then That, but now we're already past what I care to manage. There isn't even HomeKit integration (which I noticed is a trend, Google Home will be supported, but not HomeKit).
For quite a while I’ve been making an (admittedly fairly troll-ish) argument at my university’s philosophy classes that the whole “smash the patriarchy” movement might overlook that we actually live in a matriarchy, and this is just what it imperceptibly looks like. The argument was slightly more straightforward to make in the UK when we had a great-grandmother as head of state and a female head of government, however.

I should have further specified that I didn't have a child at 14 or 17, but at approximately 30. I essentially had about a decade to live the care free life with my wife who I'd been with since 18. So I understand that lifestyle choice and it's fine. I'm offering a counter explanation for the other comment suggesting we're all delusional for saying it is a unique experience. That doesn't mean the childless lifestyle can't be rewarding as well in a different manner (I already acknowledged that), but for myself, I consider myself better off and I believe most probably agree (although I'm sure there are plenty out there that may have a different opinion).
I was working on an 8-bit system back in this same time period. We couldn't afford flash devices and the kit required to reprogram them. But we did a similar trick with an extra write pin located near the ROM socket, then used a special daughterboard filled with SRAM that replaced the ROM and also touched the write line. Now we could just use our cheap debugger and blow an image into the address space the ROM used.

Only downside was that you lost the image on power down, so I can see why EEPROM was more important to Apple in developing their systems.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Isn't math already pretty much the most accessible thing that could be imagined?
