One of the things that separates ordinary people from smarter people is the topic of this article, the ability to imagine new concepts, questions, ideas. Colloquially we call this creativity, and it stems from a large degree of playfulness and enjoyment of the subject at hand.

What separates geniuses from the crazies is the ability to test those ideas and the humility to dismiss the ones that do not work. It’s that combination that makes a great thinker.
How is Rust difficult to run? It's a single binary with dependencies usually statically linked.
The problem if I understand correctly is that email was never intended to support embedded HTML but plain text (just as HTML was never intended to evolve to what it is today, beyond using it for sharing scientific information). I can't recall where I read it but sending a page to be rendered in an email is considered an aberration and one of the reasons to do that is for advertising/spam (and now also scam) purposes.

That doesn’t follow. Meeting the emissions standards is possible on its own, but not necessarily along with other requirements like efficiency.
This response is deranged. Human rights organisation have been criticising Israel for its crimes for a long time, even before this massacre. Hell, just look at the list of UN resolutions condemning Israel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_Nations_resolut...

The only correct thing in your comment is that Hamas is also bad.

Please do research before spreading war crime apologia.
OK so now there was still room for that.
Genuinely asking… what has worked in getting hostages beyond the temporary peace deal? I saw Israel had already accidentally shot their own hostages who managed to escape Hamas. In a war like that, how can Israel even free the hostages by this dropping bombs method, if the hostages get out they will be shot by their own military?
> They don't have "you can use it only within this scope" (they may use a closure/callback to give access to an unsafe object, but these aren't hermetic, so that's a convention not a guarantee).

You can use the same trick as Haskell's STRef to prevent reusing a "leaked" unsafe object, although it's cumbersome enough in Java that you may not want to.
No matter what people say it's a private company and they can censor or use your data anyway they wish. If you don't like it go elsewhere.

GUI programming is hard because some industrialists realized that if they switched the whole world to web based applications they would be able to hoover up information for free and got everyman and his dog to jump onto the everything must be a web application bandwagon.

As for web development frameworks, GUI and otherwise, they are like nuclear fusion, only in this case a new framework is announced every two weeks that is claimed will solve every development problem.

US code pretty much universally bans anything as dense as Roman cities.

Part of it is cars, part of it is exclusionary zoning.
Naming an electric car the "Blazer" seems like tempting fate.

Even if the car is fine in absolute terms, the first time one lights on fire (for any reason) just invites memes.

And God help you if it should ever have a legitimate issue with the electronics.
If this isn't an example of indiscriminate bombing, that's only because Israel is explicitly targeting civilians.
I’m not going to argue with your core point, but New York is a state where the Working Families Party successfully beat the centrist Republican-aligned Independent Democrat Conference in the state Senate. This led to the New York Court of Appeals overturning current electoral maps and opens the door for a Democrat-favorable map for 2024.

Conditions in NY are atypical and the success of the Working Families Party can’t be trivially duplicated but it’s one of the best examples of long term strategic third party activity we have in the U.S.
I'm pretty certain the QC development will continue even if at a slightly slower rate. And maybe AI can help with manufacturing more reliable and cheap versions :-) What I think has not be investigated so much is what can be done with a not so reliable quantum computer? At the start of computers Colossus was not ultra reliable but that didn't matter as it just cycled around trying different possibilitied on codes so failing on the task every so often wouldn't have made much difference.
Quantum computing is definitely overhyped right now. In my eyes, I don't see how this fundementally changes computing. AI, for example, literally lets you do things that weren't possible before. This just lets you store more data and manipulate it faster. It's not a shift in the core framework of the technology.

You mean 364 on festival?

The final death toll from the 7th October attack is now thought to be 695 Israeli civilians, including 36 children, as well as 373 security forces and 71 foreigners, giving a total of 1,139.

I just realised that the only game I have played in the last 6 months is Factorio. And I played it a lot. I have played games for 40+ years but never been that deep into a single game.

I have a mega base that I just keep maintaining and expanding. A bit like maintaining a garden I assume? It is super relaxing.
Happy to see this!

Can we stop this nonsense and bring back dBase, Paradox and Clarion?
I think it should be used when one needs a fast, deterministic field of branches.

When I used them, I would use boolean in the math to insure the input value was bounded properly.

X = (Y > 5) and Y (for systems setting true to -1 all bits set)

X = Y * (Y > 5) (for systems setting true to just the value 1)

Basically an in-line compare where the actual numeric value result of the comparison is used in a math expression rather than as an input to an if-then construct.

And these two ideas map directly to assembly language, which given the speed of the machines back in the day, made sense. People were going to be using assembly sooner or later.
I’m not sure that teaching mathstats more broadly is the answer to frequentist approaches being used by default, or to the recipe problem. I did the whole mathstats thing as a student and spent a bunch of time doing calculus around things like maximum likelihood estimators or unbiased estimators. I don’t think it’s very useful for the application of statistics in practice. I would recommend Statistical Rethinking by Richard McElreath as a course in Bayesian statistics targeted at scientists who want to extract correct, useful conclusions from their experiments, which doesn’t follow the “recipe book” pattern.
Please don’t walk over congested highways where this system is allowed to be used.
that’s the cool part about being the hegemon: you get to wear uniforms while doing your atrocities, and you have tanks and planes and ambassadors wielding real power at the UN to prevent consequences.

Just like the US killing hundreds of thousands of people in the firebombing campaigns of Japan was probably a war-crime. We wore uniforms while doing it. What are you gonna do about it? You already lost the war, not like you have any leverage.
China bans export of rare earth processing kit
The whole point of the current `unsafe` mechanism is that you have to explicitly opt one specific chunk of the code out of stricter checking, and it's obvious which chunk of code it is that needs that behavior (the bit inside the block) and which isn't (everything else) -- that bit can be subjected to extra scrutiny upon review, and there's a community-wide shared understanding of what invariants that chunk needs to uphold for the program as a whole to be sound. I'd argue that the alternative mechanism you propose (a compiler flag), which just opts the whole program out of strict checking, _is_ fundamentally philosophically different. Having the opt-in/opt-out mechanism be block-level is a language-design/philosophical decision.
So I found the modem unreliable even with it constrained to lower speeds. I don't recall what I used, but I'd WAG it was V.32 (9600 bps) as that's the lowest speed that still has forward error correction (and also happens to be fast enough to be reasonable to use).

Maybe I also tried 1200? Not sure, as mentioned I also had the issue of accidentally harassing people.

I think in general the issue is that there is a jitter buffer and async clocking that causes timing slips that upset the modem. A sufficiently advanced(tm) demodulator could presumably handle it, but I can't control the remote side... There is a lot of text out there on getting fax to work right, but there are options for fax that don't apply to the general case of modems.

Very very few BBSes were _ever_ 56k. V.90 eliminates the extra low resolution A->D stage from the provider to the user by having the provider connect digitally (via ISDN PRI or T1). So in the downstream direction the only A->D stage is in the users modem and can be higher resolution, so all codewords are reachable.

33.6k BBSes and 28.8k (including in the async HST form) were certainly a thing.

By the time technology for 56k was available (1998?) we were well into the internet access age, and the monthly cost for a PRI or T1 was well out of budget for all except the largest BBSes (many of which were transitioning or had transitioned to be ISPs by that point in any case).
>> "A solid-state laptop drive weighs about 78 grams and can hold up to a terabyte."

Amazing how we went from 1TB 2.5 inch drives to 8TB m.2 drives and 2TB microSD cards in 11 years. And it would be more like $7k in 4TB drives than $130k. Put $130k of modern drives in the same shoebox and you're probably into the petabyte range. Go to the then-top of the line microSD milk jug and it's getting up there with these 2TB cards.

Absolutely not. There's no moral justification for murder.
This is what happens when politicians aren't accountable to their constituents. The only people most politicians are accountable to are the big businesses that pay for their campaign finances and super pacs.

We desperately need campaign finance reform and strong anti-corruption/bribery laws. After that, voting reform and ranked choice voting would go a long way to making things better.

Volkswagen recently built a software org up to 6000 people (Cariad) and recently announced they are laying of 2000 of them. If they were structured anything like German suppliers I've dealt with, there was probably a 12 person team in charge of opening curly braces, 15 in charge of closing curly braces, but only a 5 person team responsible for semicolons so the timeline for each line of code was about 2 years. Great reliability though once it's done.

Makes sense. As I said, emission testing is often not performed when the vehicle is being driven/under load. States could incorporate dyno testing, but its technical, complicated, and unsafe.

I left [swing] state-level politics after working for one party, and then the other, after becoming disgusted with internal partisan politics. This is a very unpopular thing to say, but on the inside they both seemed so similar and out of touch to me. Talking about voters with disdain and reminders about the importance of donors and special interests. I had to get out; my experience fundamentally changed my view of our system and changed some of my life goals.

The audio part of OBS is the one thing I’ve never really played with, but I’m wondering why it doesn’t also move into this “mux stuff” space in the same way that it has done with the virtual camera.

Switching between cameras is a godsend for calls (one for my face, and another one pointing vertically down at a blank pad of paper) but I guess there’s less demand for switching between audio in a streaming studio setting, and mixing live audio from multiple sources is a music thing, where there are much better solutions?
This is precisely why L3 is dangerous and unworkable and should be banned. Playing high speed tag-team with vehicular responsibility is insane and I can't believe anyone takes it seriously.

If the vehicle has a driver's seat and you're sitting in it, you should be considered responsible for the car's actions. If you want to watch a movie, that's fine, don't sit in the driver's seat. If you want your car to drive your drunk ass home, that's fine, don't sit in the driver's seat.

Oh yes, that's terrorism.

How do you implement that unlock feature without backend support?
I can imagine some encrypted payload the user unlocks or a backend service that keeps track of valid license keys.

Everything is doable, and I recognize that my comment of “doesn’t work” was exaggerated.

But I don’t think small apps will do all that work when it is easier to monetize with ads. A more likely scenario for ad-free utilities will be having umbrella subscriptions a la Netflix (like Apple Arcade).

I’m a web dev, too, and I read many enthusiastic articles about PWAs as the future. (Mostly from Google evangelism, for a good business reason). But, the “old school” guy in me that grown-up loading games in diskettes feels that something is lost and more invasive in that future. (I’m not comparing it with the current App Store experience but with the experience of macOS/Windows/Linux, where you can still manually install app binaries).
I agree Israel ought to be able to prevent similar ground invasions, but what about rockets?

The Iron Dome has been relatively effective so far, but the technological gap won't last forever. Hamas has already acquired rockets like the Fajr-5, despite the blockade. Once they start using guidance systems, the destruction will be much greater, and 90% interception rate won't be good enough.

Even if Israel could limit the damage in the long term, it doesn't seem politically viable to just tolerate repeated attacks with no response. So I think it's inevitable that Israel will have to remove Hamas from power, no matter the geopolitical cost.
I am somewhat tickled at the thought of citing everything in a malicious compliance kind of way. Given a Nix environment, it should be possible to pull down a list of every bit of code that was used to construct the OS. Would we have to differentiate between installed vs executed code? My Latex environment probably has thousands of packages, though I might directly only include a handful of them. Even if I include a Latex package, it might not get executed.

The CITATION.cff format[0] is a newish format to solve the machine identification of citable works, but I suspect it is too new to see widespread adoption. It is going to take some backbreaking regexes to extract "How to Cite" sections embedded in READMEs and buried in the source.

It's sort of funny, I know of two "software engineers" that work at GM (on what exactly, I don't know, but it's embedded).

One I worked with at a previous job. He went to a prestigious US military academy for computer science, he worked in our marketing department, and at some point I turned the keys over to our Wordpress site to him. He fucked in up in so many ways and he did so many ass-backwards things...

The next guy was an electrical engineer at a previous job, he once had me help him with a GUI for a Python application to flash firmware to a device we made. It was some of the worst production code I had ever seen, it crashed often, had little error checking, I'm not sure how it even worked.
Right, these aren't data races; they're distributed systems races, more akin to tempfile races from the 1990s than to memory corruption.
The US government has been funding this for quite some time after the cold war and continues to do so.

That's exactly how C approaches UB too.

> However note the UB goes away if you never use any unsafe code. Or if you expand your unsafe to encompas some safe code.

Right. The problem is that's untenable; any nontrivial program will have unsafe somewhere, and unsafe can cause failures arbitrarily far away from the incorrect code. The whole point of the article is that you need to be able to draw an actual boundary between the unsafe parts and the safe parts of your program and review the unsafe parts in isolation. If Rust doesn't give you more and better support in doing that than C does, then it's not really making a difference.
I do. See my other post...

"It's already cost 7,000+ children's lives"

Please. They aren't bombing hostage locations to free hostages. The effort to eliminate Hamas has cost 7000+ children lives. That number won't stop growing when hostages are freed.

Can we stop bringing up the 200 hostages in response to the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians? It's a rounding error by comparison and a sad reminder that in 2023, to some, some lives are worth 100 times more than others.
At some point when you are 11 years old, if you didn't think of it already for yourself, it is some parent or teacher's job to tell you to appreciate all the stuff that people have given to the world, which you now get to use. And that's the only time that lecture is appropriate and that's the only person it's appropriate from.

If it's, we'll say within someone's rights to nag, it's exactly equally valid to object to it and to point out what kind of failing it is.

When I produce something that is free, it's free. If I want any more credit than simple copyleft already provides, then I'll charge for it.

Nagging the user is not unlike "you suck it up and tolerate the ads because that's how you pay for it instead of cash."

A directive to cite, or even a request especially when it's a nag in the tool rather than just somewhere in the docs or on the web site, is a string, a payment. It shows that the author does not actually understand the rationale behind free software. They want something back for their effort more than what they already got, which is the huge sea of developed software they get to use with no strings themselves.

Free software is a gift. It's about to be xmas. How many of the gifts you will give this weekend will you pair with a reminder to thank you for that awesome thing you gave them? The various recipients moms have the job to tell them that, not you or me.

Third parties in the US fail usually because they are run the complete opposite of how minor parties operate in other countries.

Most third parties in the US (unlike WFP) tend to go for a strategy for shooting the moon and aiming at top spots immediately, which has never worked. Third parties in other countries generally have a go at wining local seats first and building their base from there.
