I understand that. I’m just pointing out that IBM isn’t some fly by night failure of a company just because they don’t make brand name products that every tech enthusiast and practitioner is using.

Their R&D is basically structured like a consulting gig in itself. They help people like Nvidia and Intel deliver on their products.

There are some extremely popular tech stacks like Docker and Hashicorp led by companies that are struggling to be profitable. The whole reason those technologies are popular is because they are free or cheap. Then as soon as the company starts to tighten the screws and monetize their user base, the user base crumbles.

IBM’s Disney contract is about double the size of Hashicorp’s annual revenue.
I vaguely recall reading that on some versions of Office way back when, memory from other programs would sometimes leak into saved document files.

(Pauses commenting to go check) yes it’s referenced in Chapter 3 of “Silence on the Wire”, apparently Office on Windows 95/98 would dump memory from “other programs” into word docs, with some anecdotal sightings in later versions.
I'm pretty cynical of crypto, but you're confusing what something can be used for with what it can only be used for.

Any coin, including USD, has no intrinsic value. Its value is in what people can buy with it.
Thank you for posting this and giving me an injection of nostalgia. :)

I loved these books as a kid, and have probably not thought about them in 40 years. Unfortunately, my own daughter is probably too old to enjoy them the same way I did.
Here's what the "Quality of Life" metric is based on and Canada's scores:

* A good job market - 98.4

* Affordable - 15.1

* Economically stable - 98.2.

* Family-friendly - 98.5.

* Income equality - 61.2.

* Politically stable - 91.8.

* Safe - 93.2.

* Well-developed public education system - 88.7.

* Well-developed public health system - 91.2.

Anecdotally, affordability and wealth equality (not income equality) are much better indicators of QoL. "Good job market" must be availability of jobs (which has certainly lagged since 2022, when this data is from), not pay relative to cost of living.

Myself and most working-class Canadians could do with a bit of political instability right now.
Huh? If housing supply exceeds demand, rents drop.
I was kinda with you until you made this statement:
> No, "defense in depth" is not a valid excuse to use a WAF anyway, because it provides no real defense!

I have to disagree here. You are making assumptions that every developer in an org will always do the correct thing and deploy code that won't be exploitable to SQL injections, XSS, file inclusion, etc... That's just not the case. I'm all for doing the correct thing, and not just performing security theater, but WAFs do offer some protection. You need multiple layers of security covering the holes that may left in other layers. And a WAF can be one of those layers of protection.

> This would only affect code that uses the old-school x87 floating point instructions, though?

Actually, no, the x87 FPU instructions are the only ones that won't be affected.

It sets the FTZ/DAZ bits, which exist for SSE instructions but not x87 instructions.
>Of course it's also inevitable that some Lipsum will end up in the final product sometimes too

Hydrogen is significantly more dangerous than gasoline; and gasoline is crazy dangerous as it is.

Lower spark energy
Broader range of combustibility
Faster detonation speed (? [1])

It's only positive is it dissipated quickly, but that's not that great because it goes boom boom at 5% H2 -air. Everyone I know who has worked on combustion problems (I haven't myself, but colleagues have) give H2 a lot of respect.

>One of the challenges of the medical profession in the XXI century is that google-assisted patients are ready to sue at the minimum sight of anything even slightly off the perfect diagnosis and treatment.

No lawyer will take that case unless you pay cash up front; if you did, they'd be professionally obliged to tell you that you're wasting your money.

Medical malpractice is defined and decided wholly in terms of the accepted standard of care. If you did what your competent peers would do in the same situation, if you followed the guidance of a recognised expert body, and if you documented that thoroughly, then you're legally in the clear. A great deal of medical care is demonstrably sub-optimal, but still very comfortably above the threshold of negligence.

Overwhelmingly, patients don't sue because they have over-inflated expectations - they sue because clinicians and hospital systems make a lot of foreseeable and consequential errors.

"White Flight" is a bit of a misnomer as people that could afford to leave cities did leave cities (including non-white people) for a variety of reasons. One reason is that through the 1930's (depression) and 1940's (WW2) very little new housing was built and the housing inside of cities was beginning to age with minimal investment in upkeep. Costs were still very high, like they are today in many cities. But by the 1950's we were able to expand out of cities because of the automobile and new house construction was more affordable due to advances in materials and methods. So people began to leave cities because you got more space, your own yard, and an automobile and the costs were the same or cheaper than living in a cramped apartment in the city.

The second reason for people leaving cities was because of a sharp increase in crime, especially violent crime. The political leaning of the 1960's and 1970's were to be very soft on crime and that era is marked by a stark rise in crime. People that can afford it will not live in a high crime area - go figure! They move to an area that is nicer and the politics of those areas tend to be protective in that they don't want the same political policy that allowed crime to soar.

This of course starts a chain reaction where there are better living conditions and lower crime outside the city and the city begins to rapidly lose its tax base. The entrenched politicians are more concerned with having power than managing a city and the city rots. So they scapegoat people for being "racist: because they didn't want to live in a crime infested, cramped, hellhole when there were viable alternatives. The market speaks.

The main reason people left cities was because of better living conditions in suburbs and the rising tide of high crime in cities. That's it.

A wonderful series written by a real life engineer. I read them as a kid and read them to my children. (As did several of my friends.)

Some of the details are a bit dated. The stories are meant to be contemporary, but Bertrand Brinley wrote them in the 1960s. He also set them in a small town which was already a bit dated by then.

The tech is also from a different era. These boys were ham radio users which gave them a few advantages since most of the world didn't use the radios or the cell phones that weren't invented yet. Computers and the Internet hadn't been invented yet but you can tell from reading that the club members would be the first to adopt tech like Linux.

The stories are generally optimistic about the powers of technology, but less than optimistic about the adults who are often clueless or prankworthy. That's a common theme in YA fiction, I suppose. Someone needs to be the butt of the jokes or a story doesn't work.

Highly recommended.

I've never used gitlab so I can't say. We use gitea. I thought gitlab was some kind of github alternative, like gitea. It's a wiki too now?
Possibly, but it's also much more passable to non technical users I think. "The text is wrong" is a scenario anyone can understand. "The text looks like Latin" doesn't make sense to anyone who doesn't understand what Lipsum is, so they just think it's completely broken.
> I would not advise anyone to run a Linux scheduler I wrote and tested in C. However, if I wrote and tested one in Rust, I might not feel bad letting people use it.

For something as complex and sensitive as a kernel scheduler, i think "who" wrote the scheduler (as in how much experience writing scheduler), and what software dev. practices (especially how that thing was tested) and far better predictor than just the language used. I would actually go as far as saying that the language used might not even be a predictor at all.

No amount of rust safety would prevent things like dead/locks, quadratic algorithms in weird cases, unreleased resources etc... etc...

> All this news tells us is that a Rust implementation can compare to a C implementation in this field.

That's what the news "implied", but that's not actually what the news says. And i think that's what people are trying to call out.

The dev. implemented a prototype scheduler in rust, and in a very contrive case it does better than "a" C scheduler. The implementation are probably using different algorithm, they probably making different tradeoffs, we have no idea how safe and bug free his implementation his, and not even how safe it's (how much unsafe block is in that thing).

As an exercise to show that rust is a viable language to do kernel development in term of mature tool chain and good integration with kernel API sure. But as tool to compare C vs rust for kernel dev... this is pretty much worthless.
TOTP backups from phones is a major issue, from what I can tell you simply can't do it.

America can't afford to maintain cities and it can't afford to maintain the infrastructure required for suburbs. There is a serious breakdown in our ability to simply exist as municipalities.

It's a complex issue and many people are sure they know the solution, but the reality is that the only way we know how to govern ourselves anymore is scraping the bottom of the barrel with knee-jerk responses to acute events.

Edit: I can tell by both responses that I wasn't clear enough in my main comment. Civically, America's representative governments have collectively established a policy of maintaining function just slightly above total catastrophe, while robbing taxpayers blind through nearly every single initiative they fund.
> How do you mark something for deletion?

The same as you'd delete anything from any protocol essentially, you delete it locally. If you've shared it on the internet, you ask people nicely to delete it, if they refuse, you either pursue them legally or give up. Basically, just like how you delete a picture from the internet today.

> Seems easy to DDOS by changing one character many times in a file which generates a new id each time

All you're doing in that case is adding more files locally and filling your hard-drive with random files. No content gets automatically distributed unless people request it.
So, about how they don't have that many heat waves[0]:

>Increased heat wave intensity and frequency, increased humidity, degraded air quality, and reduced water quality will increase public health risks.

>More than 20 million people in the Midwest already breathe air that fails to meet national ambient air
quality standards.

>Air quality is expected to get worse with higher temperatures, due to both human-induced emissions and
longer pollen seasons.

>The frequency of major heat waves in the Midwest has increased over the last six decades. Between 1980 and 2010, the rate of warming in the Midwest increased three times as quickly as it did from 1900 to 2010.

>Extreme rainfall events and flooding have increased during the last century, and these trends are expected tocontinue across the entire region. In the Midwest, when it rains, it will – more and more frequently – pour.

What about that "plentiful fresh water supply"?

>These lake surface temperatures are projected to rise by as much as 7°F by 2050 and 12.1°F by 2100.

>Higher temperatures, increased precipitation, and lengthened growing seasons are likely to result in increased production of blue-green and toxic algae in the lakes. Blooms of these algae can harm fish, water quality, habitats, and aesthetics—and could worsen the impact of invasive species.[1]

Education, wealth and access to resources will never be divided fairly or be equally accessible to all. So there will always be a massive discrepancy between various countries and the way to look at those former powers is to see them has having a head start over the rest of the world. If they turn themselves into tourist attractions (Amsterdam, Venice, Paris and many others) that's a better outcome than that they become entrenched military powers or maintain their colonial ambitions. For Surat to rival any of those you'd have to transport it in time back to the 15th century and to make India a colonial power. That will never happen, because you don't get to be a player at that level by being nice: it takes having an unfair advantage and the willingness to exploit that advantage (military, trade, something else?).

Amsterdam wouldn't be what it is without the 'golden age' (which for the countries that were plundered probably wasn't a golden age at all, but one of oppression and massive looting), Venice wouldn't be where it is today without a sizeable fraction of the monetary movement of the age flowing through its banks, not unlike Switzerland, NYC or London in more recent times. I don't think there will be any cities becoming 'major powers' ever again except maybe for SV and some in China if they manage to avoid financial collapse.

I'm not aware of any serious studies that support that assertion. In fact, general consensus is that, by increasing time-of-generation to time-of-use flexibility, EVs will drive down electricity prices.

Case in point: during summer in Europe, assuming sunny weather, the 15-minute daytime spot price for electricity is generally negative due to the glut of PV supply. In other words: you can charge your car during the day and get paid for doing so. Then, at night, you feed back, like, 50% of your stored energy to the grid.

You get to drive to work in the morning just fine (where you can charge your battery again, for free-or-less), and the (very little) you got paid for half-discharging your car during the night definitely did contribute to lowering prices during that time as well...

Some areas have different ingredients depending on what’s available. Here in the United States, real pumpkin is preferred. You can use any gourd to make a pie but for the true pumpkin pie aficionados like myself, I can tell the difference when someone uses real pumpkin vs butternut squash vs sweet potato vs just creme, eggs, and brown sugar and some flour (I’m looking at you, Wegmans).

In the southeast coast of US, if you make a “pumpkin pie” with squash, you won’t be invited back next year.

Any reasonable statistical analysis will take account of those 0.1% cases, weighting the rate of error by the consequences of the error. It's something that insurers are very, very capable of, because it's basically their whole business.
In Emacs, you can also insert C-h in a key combination. So you can do the basic things like

C-h k to pull up the help for a key combination
C-h f for a function
C-h v for a variable
C-h m for currently active modes

But you can also do things like this:

C-c C-h to pull up every key combination that starts with C-c

Emacs has excellent discoverability out of the box thanks to this.

I once used a $25 off-the-shelf PID temp controller that came with a type K thermocouple and integrated 12v control line to build an air intake regulator for my meat smoker. I couldn't believe the outcome - 3 hours of fuel turned into 11 hours, and the (logged) temperature stayed between 118.4 and 122 degrees celsius for 10 hours of that. This was outdoors, with all the variance that comes with it, and all I did was attach an old 12v case fan and some aluminium ducting to one of the vents. Blows my mind to this day.

There are things you can do to make it easier. My phone sends all notifications to my desktop, and I have an app on the phone that creates a notification when it recognises a code in the SMS, so all I need do is double click on the notification (to select the entire "word" that is the code) then paste into the site I am verifying to.

There are also authenticator browser extensions so you do not have to use a phone app for those either.

The software I use for the SMS codes is KDE Connect and SMS code.

What do you mean by “b2b” in this context?

For a company like Home Depot or Target, there is an actual finite inventory of sellable objects in the physical possession of the retailer, and this inventory is small by computer standards. Any remotely reasonable full-text-searchable database should be able to search it accurately and efficiently.

That leaves items in the supplier’s inventory (or made to order) and third-party listings, I suppose. To the extent that items in the supplier’s inventory are curated, they should still be finite and in a database. Made to order is more complex, since the actual number of distinct orderable items may well be effectively infinite, but the number of item listings is still finite.

Third-party is a mess, and this is where I think many large retailers mess up. A large part of the value proposition of a store like Home Depot or Target or the in-store part of Walmart, etc is curation and first-party responsibility: if I buy electronic stuff at Home Depot, I expect it to have appropriate safety listings and generally not be utter crap. If I buy housewares at Target, I expect them not to be made out lead. By allowing third-party crap into their sites, these companies dilute the very thing that makes them better than Amazon. (And they apparently mess up their websites, too.)

At the very least, search should be entirely reliable for first-party listings.
