Thanks! systemd would require more coding, because uwsgi does a lot automatically just by watching file creation/modification…
not everyone writes Python, and not everyone starts code-first
It means its training data set has GPT4-generated text in it.

Yes, that's it.
This seems like it won't break anything except really exotic scripts, I think it will probably be a good thing for at least the main target audience of systemd, id imagine it might somehow suck for others though.

As someone that was in a startup built on top of Tcl during the dotcom wave, I doubt Tcl is coming back as it was back in 2000.

They definitely are, and I bet they're already further down the checklist.
Good point. Connecting to the Cluster is indeed actually a 4th layer.

There you do need user with LOGIN, valid password & SSL.

The article seems to make it clear that the refrigeration requirement was known from the start (how could it not be?) but that the amount of steel required had to be increased substantially to avoid creep in the ice.
Wasn't the recent liblzma attack already exploiting the fact that systemd has its hands in pretty much everything? Wouldn't this expand further the attack surface of systemd and the systems that connect with it?
500 Mile Email – Software Bug Stories
Just understand that not everyone skim reads 500 pages in a day.

500 pages for me take probably a month or so.
Counterpoint - many years ago I was a WeWork customer, and it was definitely the worst coworking space I had ever used. Noisy, rude, totally inflexible. After I left, it only lasted 12 months or so before that location was shut down (permanently, it seems).
Fantastic work, I recently switched to a different OS and want to challenge myself. I'll be sure to buy the book once it's available.
Not sure why you're being down voted, this is a great point. And a depressing one.
I’m still waiting for a way to run my own apps on my own devices that doesn’t require re-signing them every week.
The greater context is that neighbours have lodged objections to plans by Prince for a large multi story house on a block of about 1.5 acres or so (IIRC) that's likely not the block with a trail easement (or maybe it is) but it's the block with the neighbours that have dogs.

Everybody is cashed up, some more than others, and there are several paid up media PR pieces that seem to reflect one side or another.

You're correct to avoid this without deeper context, I'm in Australia and wouldn't touch it even if local - there's scope here for everybody and anybody to be either truly aggrieved with cause or a petty vindictive asshole; one of those "best avoided even if you're friends either party or another" situations.
I guess that's the worst case. Where we add gigabytes of data, require magnitudes more CPU and memory, but reintroduce problems that were long fixed.

I see that a lot with JavaScript apps. When they replace native, they often fail in details. Where e.g. my native text areas can handle multiple languages when spell checking. But where that diy or spellchuck.js npm version cannot.
Option ROM
Bytecode will only impact packing, so more efficient ram, cache and cpu wise. But I don't understand how it would help with branching? You still have to make the same decisions? As in the bytecode executor still needs to do differnt things based on the op code, its not in hardware.
Consoles are not defined as general-purpose computers (except for a time, the PS3), and there aren't many complaints from the game industry at large about access discrimination or unaffordable devkits any more, there's tons of indie games for just about every major platform these days. So, too much effort for too little gain, there is no artificial competition impediments any more.

The only complaints tend to come from gamers - DRM, "console exclusive" titles and lootboxes, mostly, but of these three the only realistic field where the EU can/will/should intervene is the lootbox crap.

Another point from Dave2D: they rush to launch the devices now because they might become obsolete after Google's I/O and Apple's WWDC when/if they introduce on-device AI-assistants.
There's research that shows that the areas most hit by austerity voted strongly for Hitler and Brexit, so the political consequences of austerity generally seem to fall on people other than the ones imposing it anyway.
Another way to think about this is to imagine you are working in a lazy-by-default language like Haskell. The code might seem to build up an AST and then evaluate it, but (disregarding parse errors) the AST is never materialized in memory at once: the tree might only have one level, with its children represented by thunks that continue to parse more of the source code. (If you are unfamiliar with Haskell laziness, imagine that the so-called tree has children that are functions to produce the next level of the tree.) Of course you will need a carefully designed bytecode in order to generate bytecode from AST where the children is not yet known.
I'll often just do a

Read your text again, skip all the whataboutism about communism and tell me whats left.

The cognitive ability to reason about large scale problems is also in decline, in a society that sees no alternative, like whatabout socialism. Could you tell?

If tou cannot adress the problem, maybe you are part of it!

Also, "perversly true to be bored in an imcredible economy"? Sounds like GDP is more important than happiness to you. Maybe take your time and rethink that in the light of sociatal contracts and mortality too.
For one, a good effort by Lennart.
Right now I am watching The Sympathizer, a Vietnamese drama about the Cold War, focussed on the Vietnamese take on the matter. Its on HBO Max. Weekly release so not yet finished. They just added the third episode, and I've almost finished that. Seems very much promising.

South Korea also has a cinema scene. I once saw a Korean horror and it was unlike anything I saw before. Like, really weird. But it had nothing to do with spy drama.

A lot of spy drama or action from the Cold War era is very over the top and/or propagandist/fear mongering. Drama is dramatized, but can easily be regarded as overdramatized, bending the truth too much in the process. At such point, a good documentary on the subject is probably preferred. The faith I have in a country like China or North Korea being authentic on such matters in documentary is near zero, and thus I assume their drama on the matter will equal the low effort American cinema we saw previous century.

That a band like Laibach was allowed to play in North Korea is very much telling to me.
I know the history of it, I followed it closely at the time. That’s why I pointed out that the quote was wrong ( and got downvoted ). I expect the same will happen to you since you posted the correct quote.

The checkbox example is completely plausible. There is no guarantee that all checkboxes lead to the same number of bytes changed in the file when checked. What if the format makes a note of the page number wherever a checkbox is checked? 1X could be two bytes and 15X would be three.

And even if the format only stored the checkbox states as a single bit each (unlikely), compression algorithms don't care. They will behave differently on different byte sequences, which can easily lead to a difference in output length.

Yes you're right, UTF-8 technically does as well. I've never seen them in real life either.

UTF-16 BOMs do have a useful function as I recall: they really help Excel detect your character encoding (Excel is awful at detecting character encoding).
Eh, I guess I have a different mentality about this. There are people that just love what they do for their job. Sure they can go from job to job but they actually enjoy doing the work. I grew up during a time when the CS department at my college was loserville. No one wanted to be there except the people truly passionate about the field and the department did not get much respect from the rest of my (engineering) school because of these small enrollment numbers(relative to the other departments).

Now its one of the largest programs on the east coast. Its cool that more people appreciate the field but as a small kid, I decided that I would have gone into this field even if it did not pay the big bucks so it was a no brainer when I enrolled.
Can you give me your top 3 sci-fi books/series?

My favourite one so far was Broken Earth trilogy.

I'm looking for something new and really awesome but I'm not interested in a series with more than 3-4 books (as they rarely keep the same level of quality across the series).
Why do you need 6x SATA? 18 TB drives are to be had for around $300. Just do 4x of those in striped mirrors with ZFS for 36 TB of available storage. Resilver times are stupid fast.

And you have an easier upgrade path. If you buy one pair of ~40 TB drives in a couple of years, you can replace one of the mirrors just by swapping out the old disks one by one and waiting for resilver. Then ZFS can autoexpand your storage to 18 + 40 TB total. And you can repeat further down the line, going 40 + 80 TB or whatever is available, true Ship of Theseus style.

Yes, you lose a little resilience compared to RAIDZ2, but RAID is just a HA solution, not a backup solution, no matter how fancy you make it. And a RAIDZ2 gradual-upgrade by replacing disk after disk is just horrible.
You should check Glass[1], which focuses strictly on photography. It does cost some money, but I see this as an advantage. There is basically zero spam, zero self-promotion, no "algorithm", no ads. And it even has RSS, which is how I mostly view photos (users may opt-out, though).

If you really don't want to spend any money, Pixelfed [2] is a good option.

Personally, I publish my photos on my own photography website and then syndicate them to Glass, Pixelfed and Instagram.

Not all distros ship pkexec with polkit. Polkit runs fine without pkexec present. This is kind of a non-suid alternative to pkexec. It's really more similar to a local-only ssh though.
I would say 6502 < Z80 (cheaper in a good way leaving more for graphics+sound support chips).

The first time I used dBase II on a Xerox C/PM machine was when I realized what a business computer could be like. It seemed standardized more than the PETs or TRS80s.

This thread actually contains a new argument that I had not seen before: that “the EC is reinventing the rules in an arbitrary fashion”, and it's again a very bad argument (if the EC was doing that, Apple would just go in front of CJEU and win)
Timothy B. Lee has been doing great tech reporting for 15+ years.

Getting good tech writing, and even good tech policy writing, done is harder every year.

There's fewer ad dollars and lots more low-quality writing and outlets. So there's no a lot of money out there to pay reporters who know tech, have a good nose for news, and who can file decent copy.

Techcrunch recently shutdown its paid product because it couldn't afford the writers who could do the in depth work:https://www.luxcapital.com/securities/techcrunch-plus-termin...

The industry has lost so many good ones due to layoffs or just people deciding there are easier ways to make money.

There are still some great tech reporters employed in the industry or running their own publications. The NYT snapped up some great ones, like Cade Metz and Mike Isaac.

Kim Zetter is an outstanding computer security reporter still making it as a freelancer.

Ars Technica had a stable of great policy reporters, who understood the nuances of patents, copyright, etc.

Even Ars is barebones now. Jon Brodkin does great work.

The 404 Media folks, Vice Motherboard ex-pats, are pioneering a worker-owned subscription-centered site and are breaking all kinds of news.
But the economics are still hard.

If you want good tech reporting, there are two things you can do personally: one, subscribe to good sites, and two, learn to be a good source, whether by leaking news, just sharing what's new and cool, or teaching a reporter.

It's not all bleak, but times is tough and if you want good journalism, you got to support it.
So that's your best shot against systemd?

- Linux packagers decide to patch sshd to use libsystemd for a notification, that could have been trivially done without this library.

- libsystemd depends on libzlma

- libzlma depends on xz

And therefore, systemd is insecure?

And what does this have to do with the fact that SUID is a terrible idea that needs to go?

If you think it's going to be US vs China, you're going to be absolutely wrong.

If it remains a cold war then it's about friction and who can last longer but if it becomes active, the world will split into 3 factions as WWII and the numbers will shift.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Celebrating failure might sound a bit over-the-top, yes, but I think intention towards that can be beneficial.

To me, it's all about recognizing mistakes, having open conversations about them instead of playing the blame game, and using them as learning experiences rather than opportunities to put someone down, finger pointing, or taking jab at someone in retros.
I've experienced both edges and aspire to be a leader who can balance between them.

I like to explain things by example, and interactive examples are even better. So I built a sandbox server that lets you run virtually any software. And a widget to easily add interactive code examples to any kind of technical documentation.

You can use it to build your own sandboxes, or use existing ones to write interactive guides like these: https://github.com/nalgeon/tryxinyminutes
4. lots of small building blocks of static machine code precompiled/shipped with DB software binary, later iterated & looped through based on the query plan the optimizer came up with. Oracle does this with their columnar/vector/SIMD processing In-Memory Database option (it's not like LLVM as it doesn't compile/link/rearrange the existing binary building blocks, just jumps & loops through the existing ones in the required order)

Edit: It's worth clarifying that the entire codebase does not run like that, not even the entire plan tree - just the scans and tight vectorized aggregation/join loops on the columns/data ranges that happen to be held in RAM in a columnar format.

Jaffa and Tel Aviv are now a single municipality, it's considered a mixed city where we have both Arabs and Jews. This has advantages and disadvantages. Gentrification raises prices which make it hard for typically larger families to get homes (impacts Arab families more). But it also means that education and work opportunities are more equal. We get to live together and know each other.

A lot of Arabs fled during the independence war. There were atrocities done on both sides during that war which was especially tragic.

> Aside, the annexations of Jaffa into Tel Aviv, is colonialism 101. The eradication of the place names and administration boundaries is straight from the playbook of the colonization of Ireland by the British.

That is pure nonsense. Tel Aviv is a new city that evolved and grew. It wasn't built on top of anything. Jaffa is ancient and as such has very limited growth potential. The names in Jaffa are the same as ever as are the mosques and everything there. New construction sometimes gets new names, that's it.

> The thing is, they don’t still live there, they were overwhelmingly displaced

That's a strawman argument. I specifically said "still live there". You're trying to bring people who never saw Jaffa into this argument. It's ridiculous redundant and pointless. Should I refer to our ancestors from 2,000 years ago and their connection to Jaffa and Jerusalem?

> By the same logic you could claim that Dublin has no claims on Belfast because Belfast has some Catholics that vote for the DUP.

Let's talk about the Irish. The Irish were able to finally get a country when they accepted reality and compromised with the British. Yes, it sucked. Yes, the British did some pretty nasty things. But they compromised and negotiated.

Do the Irish want to take back Belfast by force? Are they opening a war on England in an attempt to do so?

That's the right analogy.

> 13000 of those are for Yesh Atid and Labour which are a liberal/reformist versions of Zionism

They are mostly centrist, I vote left of both. Notice that even the Arab parties in the election recognize Israel and its borders as they are legally defined. Based on our definition of Zionism, they are all Zionists.

Zionism means the desire of Jews to return to Zion. That's it. People often pull words they don't understand and associate false meaning with them trying to pollute the discussion. That is one such victim of the discussion.

> But what I get from this is this is that it is not that easy to claim that “Palestinians” that still live in Jaffa vote Likud in shocking numbers.

To me this is a shocking number, especially with how bad the Likud is in terms of policies towards minorities. Historically they were far more popular with the arab/Palestinian population as their message was more about helping the downtrodden population. Bibi slowly burned down their support, especially since coupling with Ben Gvir.
Oh, the sentiment was there alright. You must've forgotten how Jobs was in general and his massive annoyance when he explained this "workaround" in particular.

Of course, it was users' fault. They have always been simpletons.

"You are holding it wrong" is spot on. It captures extremely accurately the very essence of Jobs' attitude towards the users.
How do you blackhole route if you cant assign a route to a non interface? Is there a null interface to assign too or something? (never used plan9 just curious)
For me it looks like AWS has mainly different scenarios to handle.
First, unauthenticated users are a big security pain for AWS and S3 because S3 is used for everything. But S3 was not designed for "secure" public access. As a result billing attacks are possible (e.g. [1]) and will not be fixed (by design).
Second, authenticated AWS users are kind of trustworthy and these are never assumed to do any DDoS stuff or similar. Here, we have even more surface for billing attacks. I am waiting for the moment when this assumption breaks because credit cards do not make users trustworthy.

My personal suggestion is that you should never use S3 for public access. Public buckets are an open gate to your AWS bill.
If you have private buckets the attack surface is reduced but even in this situation you cannot prevent billing attacks. Try to reduce the damage by activating Cost Anomaly Detection.

> If and when FSD becomes sufficiently reliable [...] I expect adoption to ramp up very quickly.

There's basically zero chance of that. Working people are not going to be buying very expensive new cars just because it has a working FSD feature. A handful (relative to population) rich people will but that's it.

For FSD to be everywhere first it needs to become reliable, then it needs to trickly down into every Toyota Corolla and then it needs to trickle down into the used market of people who won't buy anything newer than 10+ years old.

> take you anywhere even when you're intoxicated, without any personal liability

That probably won't happen in the next 50 years, regardless of technical advances. The law will refuse to catch up.
That's not a great summary of lzma. It was systems adding custom patch to ssh which used a systemd-related library which it didn't really need in the first place. It's a stack of issues that don't have much to do with systemd itself really.

But re. expanding the attack surface - unlikely. Systemd's primary purpose is to start processes with the right environment / permissions. systemd-run/run0 basically give you the tool to invoke that functionality with a terminal attached to it. That's smaller scope of extra code than sudo/doas deal with.

Even if the real origin is identified, that news piece will have much less circulation that the initial suspicion that it's Chinese.

So there are also PR reasons to create a fake trail.

The best lie confirms your confirmation bias. Everybody heard about the Chinese hackers attacking US, Ugandan hackers however would raise a few eyebrows.
> The needs of the high-reliability automotive industry to create an inspection methodology outside of X-Rays is driving this change.

Why is that a particular requirement? Or is it just nobody wants/rather avoid x-ray, and automotive has greater need for inspection at all?
