It should also be noted that in general, Xlib can do a lot more than XCB with a /lot/ less effort and bugs, and has an actual documentation, tutorials, books.

Xlib certainly is quirky, in particular around error handling, though.
You sound too reasonable, you wouldn't be able to work in law enforcement.
Vendoring is nice, and I usually prefer it, but you don't always have the time or people for it.

Vendoring + custom build system (Bazel?) for everything is basically googles approach, if what I have read is correct. Definitely better than everything we have, but the resources for it are not something most can afford.

P.S also what mrcus said, if we trust the upstream build process, we may as well trust their binaries.

First, the name "circuit" comes from the old practice of judges "riding circuit." Their circuit was the geographic territory assigned to them. They'd be responsible for hearing appeals in that limited geographic region, and they'd literally ride around the area (on an established schedule) hearing appeals from cases that came up in different parts of their assigned area. It was a way of providing easier access to appellate courts than requiring everyone come to one centralized place in the region.

Second, about the structure of the courts: in the federal judiciary, there are federal district courts (roughly, where trials happen), federal circuit courts, and the Supreme Court. There federal circuit courts are courts of appeal that sit one level above the district courts. There are 13 federal circuits. There are the First through the Eleventh Circuits, as you note. There's also the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (the D.C. Circuit), as well as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the Federal Circuit). That last one is extremely unhelpfully named, since they're all "federal circuits." The Federal Circuit hears certain types of cases specially designated for it to hear (for instance, patent appeals and appeals from two lower federal courts established for specialty jurisdiction). The numbered circuits and the D.C. Circuit are geography-based. If you're wondering why D.C. needs its own circuit, consider the metric fuckton of administrative rules and regulations made by the federal government. That mainly happens in D.C. It's more complicated than that, of course, because Congress will write into certain statutes that the D.C. Circuit has jurisdiction over appeals of challenges to those statutes. Other times, litigants may choose to sue an agency in one of the other regions.

Third, the 5th Circuit is unquestionably and unarguably conservatively aligned, just as the 9th Circuit used to be unquestionably and unarguably liberally/progressively aligned. The label is decided by looking at both outcomes and reasons given for those outcomes. Pick a hot political topic. Pick a legal case involving that topic in some way. It's extremely predictable how the 5th Circuit will rule. None of this is controversial. The controversy would come from taking the next step: if you say, "Well, they're mostly right." That makes you a conservative, and that enlists you in political controversy. Because as a factual matter, they have a historically fairly high reversal rate (i.e., among the 5th Circuit cases the Supreme Court grants cert. on, the 5th Circuit gets reversed ~80+% of the time), so they're not right in the sense that the Supreme Court agrees and thus their rulings are usually the law of the land.)

Observability and Testing of OpenAI's Assistants API
There is a big difference between memory and other resources, and that is that memory -- like processing -- is fundamental for any computation; not for nothing do most theoretical models of computation assume unbounded memory. Very few languages require manual allocation of processing -- even though that is done in some software like OS kernels and hard realtime applications -- and for similar reasons automatic memory management is very useful for abstracting computation, i.e. not leaking their details of memory by a subroutine to its clients just as this is rarely done for CPU use.

So while every non-trivial computation involves some non-constant amount of processing and memory, I/O is usually done at the edges of the system. Management of I/O is very important, of course, but it's not as central to the notion of computation (and therefore to abstracting computation) as processing and memory.
I wouldn't mind tasers on them, but all interactions with the public should be recorded and available for civil rights watchdog organisations.

> (OpenJDK's ZGC has typical pause times measured in double/triple-digit microseconds, and the worst case rarely exceeds 1ms for a reasonable allocation rate -- the pauses are in the same ballpark as OS-induced ones)

We've been benchmarking ZGC and Shenandoah at work, and the p100 pause time is usually below 500us (micro-seconds). ZGC seems to be performing a bit better, as it seems to be performing less pauses than Shenandoah (hence doing more work/pause).

We still have to run tests-in-production, but so far it seems that GC pauses are largely a solved issue when using ZGC (and Generational ZGC since Java21).
We'll always have Zink, my man.
It's true as a user that switching is relatively easy.

As a contributor it's a little harder, more so for stuff with non standard processes like sourcehut or cgit.

As a maintainer there can be much more significant differences around bundled features like CI systems and issue trackers. (Though I am of the opinion that where possible, CI should just be calling makefile steps or your language's tooling equivalent)

However, I agree that this is ultimately not a huge barrier.

Despite that, it's clear that users won't cross that barrier. As a project maintainer on not-github, you'll get less attention, less feedback, less contributions on other platforms. I think there's a bit of a relation to how sticky services like search engines are despite 0 barrier to switching.

So that's something that you will need to weight up when choosing a platform, regardless of whether you as maintainer have difficulty doing the switch or think others do.

Maybe maximising contributions isn't an important goal for you, but I can see why many projects before have made that decision.
Could have been much worse...
I mean, both can be true at the same time. I have to admit that I only use MFA when I'm forced to, because I also believe my strong passwords are good enough. Yet I can still acknowledge that MFA improves security further and in particular I can see why certain services make it a requirement, because they don't control how their users choose and use their passwords and any user compromise is associated with a real cost, either for them like in the case of credit card companies or banks, or a cost for society, like PyPI, Github, etc.

It's sophmoric to go "well, akshually, the law says..." when we're talking about corrupt bureaucrats with a history of enabling, covering up, and abetting in rampant environmental disasters (eg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Susana_Field_Laboratory). Cool, you're at stage 2 of viewing the world, which is really just trying to use faux rationality to cognitively disassociate from the nonsense evil going on in the world.

Stage 3 is letting decades of this nonsense erode this "academic" view and saying enough is enough.

I don't care what bureaucratic legalese these assholes are guarding their motives with, it's all 100% down to money. Money is flowing here between corporations and government, and that's the ultimate incentive behind these decisions.

Of course, if you need advanced search features, APIs for indexing and searching (Kibana) or some fault tolerance don't reinvent the wheel.

So, I wouldn't use this in any production (i.e. non single-instance) setup, but it is a useful reminder of how modern hardware and software is powerful enough to do things that would intuitively seem resource-intensive.

Don't be so sure. China's military appears to be somewhat hollowed out by corruption. China doesn't have the military experience it would take to invade Taiwan. Taiwan will resist being invaded.

Counterpoint: you can run a single node elastic instance (and add more later), and 32G isn’t the size of memory you need, it’s the largest heap on a node you should have. (IE; it’s the sweet spot because more than 30.5GiB of Heap and Java will start using 64bit pointers).

50% of your system memory should be Heap, so realistically the sweet spot for VMs is actually 64GiB of memory for each node.

I wrote a lot of these best practices as notes years ago: https://dijit.svbtle.com/elasticsearch-notes
Your claim is an appeal to emotion trying to build support for a position the Linux community has largely rejected. Starting with the goal rather than looking unemotionally at the facts means that you’re confusing your goal with the attackers’ – they don’t care about a quixotic attempt to remove systemd, they care about compromising systems.

Given control of a package which is on most Linux systems and a direct dependency of many things which are not systemd - run apt-cache rdepends liblzma5! – they can choose whatever they want to accomplish that goal. That could be things like a malformed archive which many things directly open or using something similar to this same hooking strategy to compromise a different system component. For example, that includes things like kmod and dpkg so they could target sshd through either of those or, if their attack vector wasn’t critically dependent on SSH, any other process running on the target. Attacking systemd for this is like saying Toyotas get stolen a lot without recognizing that you’re just describing a popularity contest.

Because politicians there is no reward for wanting to invest and preempt failures, whether it is bridges or healthcare or pandemics.

Now if it was preparing for a future imaginary war, spend the entire GNP and then some with half the public's blessing.

So politicians maybe need to sell everything as a war and have the military do it.
> I'm trying to understand why the characters in Dune fought with swords, pikes and knives.

At least part of the reason is that the interaction between a lasgun and a shield would cause a powerful explosion that would kill the shooter too. No one wants that and no one will give up their shield, so they had to go back to melee weapons.

If you don't mind disassembling and finding connectors or soldering, you can connect a power supply with the same voltage as the battery to the battery connector on the main board.

> This was so mind-boggling even at the time that SourceForge thought ...

They'd been recently bought by a shitty company called DICE that also owned ummm... CNet or Download.com, or some other similar place with lots of downloads for Windows users:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SourceForge#Adware_controversy

That company already served ~malware~ sorry "bundled third party offers" with their windows downloads, and figured they'd be able to copy-n-paste that approach to popular OSS downloads.

He sounds like his doing his best to lessen that burden.
You are correct.

And they specifically ignored what the statute actually says in order to get there. It's super clear from the statutory text that "significant new use" is just "a use" the EPA has determined meets certain listed criteria. In other words, it's not "a new use" the EPA determines is significant. Nor is it "a significant use" that the EPA determines is new. It's just a use of a chemical that the Administrator determines meets certain criteria, and the statute just happens to call that a "significant new use."

I mean, it really couldn't be clearer from the statutory text and structure. Which makes the 5th Circuit utterly ignoring it even more egregious.

Statutory interpretation?! We don't need no stinking statutory interpretation. We have dictionaries!
