Your data source has Canada's net migration at 249,000 which is absurdly small compared to Canada's own data. Canada's own data has migration out of the country at 94,576 people but for the 249,000 number to make sense that number would have to be closer to 750,000. It's clear we are using very different sources to calculate the numbers. I'm 100% convinced your source has badly incorrect data for Canada.

It may seem like armchair common sense to you, but I doubt any medical facility in the entire country would prescribe a ketogenic diet for those patients because there isn't a hard scientific basis to do so. Also going from insulin resistant to schizophrenia/bipolar is a bit of a surprise.

So this is important work. It'll also be interesting to see if it replicates and generalizes.

and it gave me: \b\d{4}\b

Nice and usefull.

It's for the journal. It can be optionally compressed with zlib, lzma, or zstd. That library had not only the sd_notify function which sshd needed, but also several functions to manipulate the journal.

At the time I wrote the initial GMSL I was particularly focused on parse times for Makefiles because they are a large factor in the "null makes" (i.e. you type 'make' and nothing needs to be done). It's probably an over optimization and I guess I could merge it into a single file.
Tesla releases Q1 2024 deliveries: disastrous results
A huge problem is that a lot of poor white folks see attempts to rectify racial or other injustices as a slap in the face, because they see themselves (perhaps correctly) as among the downtrodden. It turns into a battle of comparing wounds. Is a poor white person with no health care and no job prospects living in a dying town better or worse off than an urban black kid who grew up with a broken family in a bad neighborhood surrounded by crime? Are either of these better or worse off than a gay or trans person who's been bullied and ostracized by their community, or a battered wife whose community sides with her abuser, or a woman who was raped and forced to bear the child?

It's very easy for populist demagogue con artists to pit these groups against each other or focus all these groups' anger at one third party scapegoat ("the Jews," "the rich," or some foreign enemy are popular choices) in order to gain power.

A big problem is that real solutions to these problems don't fit nicely into 140 characters. They require that people stop and take the time to understand one another and the historical forces that created their situations, empathize with one another, and find win/win solutions. Populist demagoguery, scapegoating, and totalitarian schemes do fit neatly into sound bites, so they're easier to spread especially in an era of collapsing attention spans.

Pretty telling you stepped right past my point about conversion! Funny how you cherry picked the parts of my comment to respond to and then couched virtually your entire message in hedges! Also Al-Jazzeera has been operating in Gaza for nearly 20 years at this point, they have run pieces and interviews extremely critical of Hamas. As to the "I'm not legitimizing this" final sentence I'm not sure what you think your argument and others you've been dropping in these threads, are supposed to be doing given you sure do love to come in and drop some really gross generalizations and anti-arab racism in the way you paint Palestinian society. You are free to continually reference things like Hamas "throwing PA supporters off roofs", and consequently people are free to wonder and comment on why it is you only seem to pop up in these threads to make interventions like that, and not, say, literally anything at all about atrocities being committed by Israel.

How could broken code (or broken tests) be merged in master ? That is a rhetorical question, of course it happends, and of course this is the root issue you would be facing
Funding all of these deep dependencies may have helped in this case but wouldn't address the root of the problem, which is that every business out there runs enormous amounts of unsandboxed third party code. Funding may have helped xz specifically from falling to pressure to switch to a malicious maintainer, but it does nothing about the very real risk that any one of the tens of thousands of projects we depend on has always been a long con.

The solution here has to be some combination of a dramatic cut back on the number of individual projects we rely on and well-audited technical solutions that treat all code—even FOSS dependencies—as potentially malicious and sandboxes it accordingly.

Putting aside that this is an April Fool's joke, I like the last part:

> This time, I’m cruel to Git: can it handle a repository of this size? In 2009 it could not. In 2024 it can.

That really hits home for me. Really: Think about this repo for a moment. 500 GB. 15 miiiiiiiiiiiiiiilion files. It is crazy to think that a "vanilla" git repo can handle it. Applause for the Git team!
Lets assume a Technical Co-Founder's time is worth $150/hr. A three month PoC built suggests a $70k contribution by the Technical Co-Founder -- upfront -- on the promise that the Business Co-Founder can actually sell it. I'd want some hard reassurances my $70k of contribution can actually be monetized if i'm giving up 50% or more of the equity on trust. If everything is on trust, why not keep all the equity for the Technical Co-Founder?

Note, for most successful Technical Co-Founder, $150/hr is a very low rate.

Hi, [disclaimer, I am a project maintainer].

The key difference between unikernels (and library OSes) vs. other kernels is that each kernel is different with a unikernel. Your application goes through a process of specialization, where you can decide exactly the necessary features (e.g. libraries, syscalls, memory allocation, scheduler, etc.) are necessary or desired for your application. Additionally, other kernels are typically multi-process whereas a unikernel is inherently single-process since it does not support syscalls like fork. (That said, at Unikraft, we are working on supporting fork, eta. late April).

Additionally, before Unikraft, one of the major trade-offs was developer time and effort to get your application into a unikernel. Since Unikraft has been actively developed for several years by ~100+ people, it has become much more stable, feature complete and easier to use; ultimately making unikernels easier to approach.

Today, in-addition to multi-process applications, the trade-off now really depends on your usecase and so selecting whether you wish to deploy your application as a unikernel or on top of a monolithic kernel or microkernel. For example, developer environments which require many subsystems, multiple programs, etc., where you can't know everything ahead-of-time, are still best suited for multi-user, monolithic kernels that can run most workloads.

Another thing to note is that unikernels are designed to be immutable and are often created in a CI/CD context. This means that they are single-purpose and if you wish to change them, you need to re-build (or re-package).
Same is true for a non-technical founder. It's a shit show and platforms like YC founder matching are selling the illusion that you can found a company with a total stranger just by their CV which is dangerously wrong.
> why our industry seems unique in our willingness to do unpaid work for giant corps.

Because it never starts that way. It scratches an itch, solves an interesting puzzle and people thank and praise the work. Deep down we all want to be useful, and it helps that it looks great on a résumé.

After it's established the big corps come along, but the feeling of community usefulness remains. It's also why so many devs burn themselves out, they don't want to disapoint.
What the Suburb Haters Don't Understand
I think the real value of a non technical founder is:

1. Discovering the real requirements to make the product succeed.

2. Being really really good at sales.

Technical people often lack those skills, and even if they build the best product in the world, it’s worthless without someone who can get it in front of the right people and convince them to pay for it.

and that's how dynamic linking works -- really ignorant comment

Read the lobste.rs thread for some quotes on process separation and the Unix philosophy.

There are mechanisms other than dynamic linking -- this is precisely the question.

Also, Unix supported remote logins BEFORE dynamic linking existed.

What about sshd didn't work prior to 2015?

Was the dependency worth it?

not particularly surprising given the kitchen sink architecture of systemd

That's exactly the point -- does systemd need a kitchen sink architecture?

The questions are interesting because they likely lead to simple and effective mitigations.

They are interesting because critical dependencies on poorly maintained projects may cause nation states to attack single maintainers with social engineering.

Solutions like "let's create a Big tech funded consortium for security" already exist (Linux foundation threw some money at bash in 2014 after ShellShock).

That can be part of the solution, but I doubt it's the most effective one.

Mechanical advantage and impact. Weight is not just a constant force in our joints, and it's not applied evenly. As an example, imagine holding forty pounds at arms length vs wearing it in a backpack or letting it dangle to the floor. The forces on the shoulders from all three are radically different.

Additionally, when you walk or run you don't place only and exactly the force of the weight of your body down. Each foot is loaded with an impact and the forces are distributed up the leg. What your knee experiences is a dynamic and spiky load.
> It's mentioned in our build instructions but we can probably make it more clear in the terms and conditions.

Yeah, please do. :)

I actually took a bit of time to look and still missed it somehow. :/
Once you configure all the CI and everything, following the documentation. Isn't the documentation giving the advice to make it publish automatically on a git tag?

And isn't it true that to do a git tag you only need to steal the private ssh keys of the account, which are commonly stored in the ~/.ssh directory?

If I am the attacker, and a project has trusted publishing configured, my target shifts from the token.txt file on the machine of a maintainer, to the .ssh directory on the very same machine.

You can do all the complicated authentication schemes between github and pypi, but do I care to attack there when there's a much easier point to attack?

I have set up trusted publishers for one of my projects. At least from the point of view of a user I am familiar with it. A git tag followed by a push did indeed trigger a new build+release workflow in my CI.
Blunders are things you _could_ or _should_ have avoided, had you only taken a moment to pause and think.
This is exactly why monorepo is advised : you do not need to keep and maintain useless code for years. Instead, you can "git grep", then write and submit MR to quickly change all users.

I have never encounter this use case, tho
Pressuring the maintainer is already rude in itself and being polite about it won't help them

If they want things done quickly they can do it themselves
It does hinder competition and locks you in, doesn't it? Since you need a licence from the software owner to provide your own hosted solution, and they might give it to you at an huge price or not give it at all.

Say I had MongoDB hosted on some cloud provider before the change to SSPL. I can't keep getting support from the cloud provider for updates or at all, so I'd have to migrate to their MongoDB Atlas product or host it myself (which I wanted to avoid in the first place).

Then they could raise the price (almost) as much as they wanted, just slightly below the point where I'd consider migrating to another DBMS (engineering cost) or self-hosting (DBA cost), in any case affecting me.

Alternatively, had I chosen MySQL or Postgres, well established DBMS not built by startups with a single product that desperately need to make money, I could choose Azure, GCP, AWS or any other provider depending on my needs.
Is that true for the ~30% of people in the US (higher almost everywhere else) who are not overweight?

the aforementioned guy merging PRs in random order decided that the existence of merge conflicts were all the devs fault, pinned a merge conflict on me and said I wasn't a good fit for their management style, a charitable explanation as none of us would pass an interview if we described an application development process this way

Ideas? Can an idea be really, REALLY valuable?

Can an idea get a lot of value via a patent or held as a trade secret?

Uh, let's see: From Bell Labs, the transistor.

They saw that it was so valuable they deliberately didn't patent it and, instead, gave it to the world for free -- that's in effect what they did, but there may be legal details, and I'm not a lawyer.

Suppose that now we had to pay a penny a transistor ......?

Uh, the laser? Not just one that fills a large airplane and is powerful enough to shoot down a missile but the ones the size of a grain of rice and light the long-haul optical fibers for the backbone of the Internet?

How 'bout the amplifiers on the optical fibers?

I'm not a lawyer, but how 'bout RSA encryption?

And the FFT (fast Fourier transform)?

And mRNA for creating vaccines? I know; I know; some people see the mRNA for Covid as naughty, bad, ugly, ...?

with efficacy 94% and safety 100% -- uh, for just how the efficacy arithmetic is done might want to check the paper.

Yes, the safety was from ~16,000 persons, and with 1 billion persons maybe safety will be lower than 100%.

There are various error correcting codes, maybe some buried in hardware devices.

It's actually just trade offs that we should be able to have professional discussions about, otherwise your advocating for "always use a monorepo" unless your library is for public consumption.

The reality is, at some point, having repos that are hundreds of GB with hundreds of active PRs also has its own downsides that requires tooling and workflows to combat. Meanwhile, splitting it all up introduces integration problems.

It's definitely pick your poison, though specific requirements and circumstances make specific paths more or less potent.
The SDS Sigma 7 was one of the first computers sold commercially with the hardware to support memory virtualization and user/supervisor modes. It got some early time-sharing use. SDS later got bought by Xerox, and carried the business forward into the 1980s, where they eventually got squeezed out, IIRC.

They were a big player for a while, but mostly for pragmatic factory installations, online calculator services, library catalog lookup, stuff like that, not the associated programmer/hacker culture, so the machines are now mostly forgotten.

I'm only in my 40s and plenty familiar with D&D since I was a kid, but this title really made me feel momentarily old.

D&D and tabletop roleplaying in general has opened social doors for me. These days I'm less interested in the power fantasy aspect of unmodded D&D than in exploring an imaginary world together, like in the Call of Cthulhu, Mouse Guard, or Vincent Baker's Dogs In The Vinyard (haven't played that one yet, but I like the concept- young people traveling to spread and reinforce their religion, and the trouble they might get into. I have no formal religion, and roleplaying for perspective seems engaging to me).
