I learned a ton from doing “Over the wire”.

After that I read “The Unix programming environment” and after that it clicked.

Story time - a thing I learned from TUPL.

I did an interview at the and they had a bunch of programming questions. One was to write a the shortest script to count lines in n a script ext file. I asked - can I choose language, ANY language?

From the book I remembered the command wc -l in Bash. The interviewer looked at the his colleague gave a small smirk. I felt right at home.
Golang recently folded on the whole "no generics" decision, which throws a lot of dust into the air. Personally I'm waiting for them to add exceptions and async/await.

Handspring Visor was THE BEST. The cartridge expansion ("Springboard" slot) was great. The unit was relatively affordable to begin with and was easy to tinker with. Once I had gotten it online by a series of like 3 or 4 cables and adapters from Handspring to my Motorola Startac, connecting to the GPRS network. It wasn't fast, but for simple text applications (email, AIM, etc) it worked.

Also I had an uber powerful IR Blaster (that could also learn any remote) that was great for terrorizing my father. Good times.
First, the US is not a pure democracy. We elect representatives on our behalf to handle voting on matters. So dismissing something as "anti-democratic" is not applicable here.

Our elected officials set up a system where a series of agencies under the Executive Branch may create rules, but the elected officials have oversight authority.

If you disagree, you may petition your state government for a constitutional amendment that prohibits this practice and advocate for additional states to join in.
Ruby is incredible. It is still one of the best choices for a platform to build a company or a product quickly with. If it cannot keep up with your scale, throw more hardware at it and it will still be worth it in terms of time and man-hours saved.

I only ever wanted compile-time linting and better autocompletion such as in the case of Elixir LS. Does something like that exist for Ruby now? How is Crystal these days?

I had problems trying to run prior LTSC builds. They get security updates, but not feature updates. After a few years, some consumer software (games in particular) often start having problems because they are built assuming you run a consumer edition that is never more than a year or so behind.
I guess I'm in the minority but all these "music for programming" mixes make me apathetic and sleepy. Which is great for relaxation, but not so great for working. I need something with the beat, even if it's chill. Dark techno FTW :)

Politicians doing what voters want?! What a radical concept!

It's true that he cares about himself first, but he only stumps for republicans (as long as they support him) and he packed the federal and supreme court with republicans (and they've won important cases about redistricting rules and other things that keep republicans in power).

So saying he doesn't care about keeping republicans in office makes no sense as he's probably cemented them in office in places they have no business being elected for another 30 years.
This thread seems to be getting some views. I'm looking to break into the Rails work, but it seems rough trying to get into a job doing Rails work as a junior, not quite senior role. I have other development experience, primarily in Ruby and Objective-C.

Any advice? I know the job market is a bit of a rough one right now as well.
I'm curious if the spammers will find a way around this. I would actually like to be ID'd by a provider if that also meant they had no un-ID'd customers. I'd expect their IP range would start to get a pretty good reputation.
I believe they are betting on being able to monetize things around their "Large Action Model".

Could be market for the automations, where people can for example sell "buy tickets on ticketmaster" actions.

They could also monetize all the data they have and will have training that particular model, which is very lucrative if the AI bubble continues to inflate.

Isn't there some form of governance that chose Hamas as leaders? I might not understand the distinction from how Gaza is governed vs. Israel though.

I'm also curious if the motivation for abuses as call it matters. I think there was some significant event that Hamas coordinated that then prompted a response from Israel?
You're right that Palm was fighting against Blackberry and it made each of them better. But Palm, Blackberry and Microsoft were laser-focused on one another's products. Then Apple came in and did something so out of left field they were caught with their pants down. What do you mean we need a GPU to render transitions?
The separation for me is more about layers. If you're writing anything touching an OS, your choices are basically C, C++, Rust. If you're writing a web backend application, Rust isn't a good choice, and even Golang is questionable.
The article indicates that she likely ghostwrote a piece published under her husband's name during the period when many feel she "wasn't writing." I am reminded of the plot for the biopic Collette about a French writer whose initial success was from works published under her husband's name.

In the biopic Out of Africa, Karen Blixen is portrayed as learning to tell stories orally to her nieces and later her guests. The man who later becomes her lover gifts her a pen and tells her both "we pay our storytellers here" and "write them down sometime."

Blixen was a socialite who was able to access family money by marrying her "lover's brother." When they divorced, she was sterile from syphilis contracted from her unfaithful husband who slept around casually and probably couldn't use marriage and family inheritance a second time as a means to support herself.

She also published some of her works under a male name. And I read a piece called Homme de Plume on Jezebel that told the story of a woman writer submitting her work to publishers under a male name and getting much more positive feedback for the exact same manuscript.

So gender discrimination is certainly real, but I'm a woman and I don't see getting a sex change operation to fix my issues. Some women downplay their gender by using initials, like JK Rowling.

But the thing that interests me is the pieces I might control in some way on my end. Both Penelope Fitzgerald and Karen Blixen appear to have had no ambition initially. They both appear to have been content to try to make life work financially by being wives, the role society expected of them, and it seems likely they only sought to develop a career as paid writers when it became clear they couldn't make life work via that means.

I think women get generally inculcated from birth with the idea that a "successful" woman living The Good Life is a woman who married well and had kids and put her husband's career and children's welfare first. Career women tend to get vilified as bad mothers and seem to divorce frequently, possibly because if a woman has sufficient income she doesn't need to try to make a bad marriage work.

So I think women tend to lack mental models men seem to be inculcated with and this seems to be a separate issue from the much more readily recognized issue of gender discrimination.

No clue how to fix it. It doesn't seem to be part of the public discourse and seems unlikely to ever become so.
"The terminal" is a terminal emulator: just a program that runs a shell. It's easy to learn the MacOS terminal emulator, called Terminal—just read the user guide accessible in the Help menu, under Terminal Help.

But what you really want to learn, I'm guessing, is not just the terminal emulator, but a shell. For that, you'll need to pick a shell and read about it. ZSH is the one that comes standard on MacOS, so you can start with that. ZSH is also just a superset of BASH, so you could learn BASH commands and they'd be mostly applicable to ZSH. Try reading The Linux Command Line: https://www.linuxcommand.org/lc3_learning_the_shell.php.
I have been watching the warfare via several Telegram channels and observe how important drone warfare now is. I watched 5 $10M Abrams tanks destroyed by $500 FPV drones. Close combat on troops is also conducted with drones with remarkable precision. We don't know how much of the targeting and execution by Russia is automated verses manual, but many experts in this field agree that Russia's technical capability is at parity and sometimes exceeds NATO's such as hypersonic missiles.

While I support both of those things, I don't see any problem requiring the legislature to actually legislate to make them happen. If the public felt strongly about these issues they would just remove their representatives next election.

Just because I happen to agree with the actions of the agency in this case is not enough to justify handing legislative power over to bureaucratic agencies that do not have any of the checks and balances that are supposed to exist in our system.
That would only work, if people had more accurate self assessment.

How to talk to someone who doesn't trust AI
>What, then, is the impetus for restoring the net neutrality rules, given there is always some political cost to any action like this?

there's usually some principled people in the government, and every now an then when an issue is obscure enough they can manage to get something done without the other side caring too much.

what's the impetus for blocking this?

Well they tried to wait for the civilian population in the north to evacuate before they advanced, unlike the Americans to say the Japanese, Germans, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Laotians, and scores more who they bombed indiscriminately. I’d say that this conflict is a huge step in the right direction in terms of the treatment of civilians in war. War is ugly especially when the adversary embeds their infrastructure with their civilian population, in order to maximize collateral damage and shift international sentiment.
The issue has more often been about the security tools and monitoring for Windows, along with account federation. These tend to be more broadly available and polished on Windows and Mac.

I'd prefer a full Linux workstation, but if it's locked down like some Windows I've experienced, I'm not sure it's materially better.

Right now I'm working in a remote, secured, locked down Windows VM... Without WSL or Docker. That sucks a lot.
I primary write Rust/C for a living, but I would pick Go in any situation if I could. I understand Rust's appeal as a shiny spaceship, but it adds a lot of complication for not enough benefit if you can use a garbage collector. Why deal with boxing, lifetime annotations, and async when you could just write plain Go.

Go is easier for onboarding, it's fixed the major issues people have had with it - it has modules, it has generics. It's easy to package a binary versus deal with having a Python venv.

Go is just the best common denominator and that's what the majority of people need. I really feel that people want to use Rust because it's interesting and fun, not because it's really the better tool for the job. The vast majority of applications can use GC and are not resource constrained by Go's runtime or binary size.
I have not compared it.
Have you had issues in this front?

If you are asking in human terms, its instantaneous to start, it simply creates a few files etc and starts a process. If you were using Sqlite, there is no extra associated process. But the processes are simply waiting for your input, so normally this is not really extra work.

In benchmark terms, the way I'm using it startup time is not a huge issue, instead being able to use postgres is helpful (has extensions and you know you can eventually move to a hosted postgres if you want)

If startup really matters, the startup can be amortized (if multiple processes want to access the same file, they get a handle to the same already started process, so only the first one would have waited for startup).

In terms of ongoing resource consumption, I can easily have a bunch of separate servers running for different files (it depends on your workload how much work will happen behind the scenes.) I'm not sure how much extra work postgres needs to do vs sqlite beyond what is kind of inherent for a workload (eg index creation, saving a bunch of data etc).

How did it become the Internet standard? Because at the time it was adopted as the Internet standard the majority of operating systems used it. Probably the biggest influence on both the Internet standard and Microsoft was DEC. And actually, it is used by Unix too, in the TTY layer: Unix by default translates LF to CRLF on output - and that translation is in the POSIX standard. So the claim that CRLF isn’t in POSIX is false
One challenge I encountered in the past was syncing data between a SaaS software I built and customers' ERP systems. Building these integrations was an absolute pain because there often is no publicly available documentation. This means you need to pay an SAP consultant 300 dollars per hour to tell you all the things normal apis have in their public documentation. Is this something you plan to address? Or are you just making already usable apis even easier to use?

Btw great product! Just really curious about a personal pain point of mine!

This is phenomenal. I wish I had it to share with a student I worked with last year. Even without this, he came to similar realizations and explored similar territory with significant results.[0] He began by comparing and contrasting traditional Japanese joinery with CNC milled joints. He realized that the critical difference was that Japanese carpentry joints are almost always entirely squared off (due to the flat saw and chisels). Yet the inside corners created with CNC were always rounded. So he let this critical difference be the animating concept of the project.

We have always had things like executive orders. Just an insane number are issued between the Great Depression and WWII, and then we have 100 years of using them as a ham fisted tool for policy.

The FTC ruling on non competes... Great, except that getting rid of that rule doesn't create its complementary law around "rading" (see this about ca law: https://www.flclaw.net/is-poaching-employees-illegal-califor... ).

And yes we have used this structure for a long time, but not to this extent, not as a political football for democratic impasse.

A current fascination is the unnamed genre of popular American music from the era when jazz and ragtime and vaudeville sort of intersected with jug bands and blues: https://www.youtube.com/live/GGxIeMxG5l8?si=RLaYnnWGqQkfMXk1

I also listen to a ton of music in languages I don’t understand, from Balkan dance music to Brazilian pop and psychedelia.

And there’s a certain DJ in New Orleans (Mark LaMaire) I listen to every week who has turned me onto a whole mountain of music I’d never heard of before.

No they shouldn't. I don't think that logic makes any sense at all. No one is paying increased costs because their neighbor is watching netflix, youtube, or browsing reddit. Users already pay for internet service they shouldn't have to pay again because the ISP wants to be greedy and double dip from fees to avoid throttling.
You may not realize it, but this is exactly how it works in the House of Representatives today, and is the exact cause of dysfunction.

If you have known the structure of the Wayland protocol before making the comment, you'd know that "official support" is a red herring.

The only official thing provided by the Wayland project (other than the protocols themselves described in XML) is the wayland-server and wayland-client library pair, which is more or less just a serializer and deserializer of the protocol.

There is also Weston, but we don't talk about it.

Waypipe is about as official as Kwin, Mutter or wlroots, and yet we don't disregard those projects as being irrelevant due to their unofficial status.

here's the thing with law, it's not code.

if they argue nonsense and the judge buys, it's that.

law enforcement uses hashes of bad content. torrent conveniently uses hashes. the expert can argue if you have the hash you have the content because how torrent works.

the judge that accepted the argument about how torrent works but refused the argument about how tribler or freenet etc works should be disbarred imho.

That assumes that everything is regulated by law (unrealistic) and that you have a working parlament (currently not the case in the US). Imagine Russia is invading Canada. Would you prefer a US president with the power of declaring war or the parlament starting to debate over it. A war has 100x more consequence than this KYC thingy here.
I don't know why people keep bringing that up. It's hardly relevant. Extreme maneuvers at high G forces are mostly only useful in very limited circumstances for evading a missile in the terminal phase of an engagement. In the real world it's far less important than low observability, data links, sensor fusion, EW, decoys, fuel fraction, and stand-off range.

Building an airframe strong enough to handle G forces beyond what a human can endure also comes at the price of greater weight and reduced range. It's not worth the trade-off.
Is this GPL 2.0 only? Because GPL 3.0 was specifically designed to prevent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tivoization where they had used GPL code and had only binaries on the TiVo and refused to provide source, I think.

Congress as a whole does not support net neutrality, and the reason they have not drafted a simple house bill to do it that doesn't include 99 other things is because they had no desire to. It has nothing to do with "ideology wars."
