I wonder if it would have helped to sort URLs in order of importance. For example com.microsoft.login/reset-password. Then the rule is "does it start with `com.microsoft.`" It would still require people reading URLs and only work well if companies don't spray important stuff across domains (Microsoft is particularly bad here) but at least it is way better than "The stuff in front of the first slash that comes after the protocol slashes." which is pretty hard to explain to someone.

The data layout of a class must be part of its definition. So either you expose the layout (data members), add a layer of indirection with PIMPL, or resort to ugly hacks to otherwise hide the data layout such as having buffers as members. Another possibility is to not use exposed classes for member functions. Then you can just pass pointers around only and never use C++ features. Out of all of these, PIMPL solves the problem the best.
Like I said, and this is personal experience: yes Canada needs your Canadian passport on file so they (and thus the airline) will let you board/back in.

I have been to several EU countries and none of them cared for the Canadian passport. Tried showing both at the beginning. They don't care. So we only show the EU one now.

Also funny: showing "the other passport only" because you don't have a current one. Like try using the Canadian one if you don't have a current EU passport (expired, never had one yet etc). Takes longer. Works too. Haven't tried recently so things might have changed.

Leaving an EU country has never required the EU passport. In fact having the Canadian on file is a requirement. Otherwise they call your name at the gate because you neither have a Canadian passport nor an electronic authorization on file and thus they can't let you board. So doesn't work in reverse nowadays.
This is an aspect of the internet archive that I don't use at all. It is disturbing to me that we could lose the actual internet archive, by which I mean the snapshotted history of the public internet over this. These two aspects of the organization seem separable. But I guess there are other organizations that are also snapshotting so maybe it isn't a huge deal anyway?

When you land on the page, it defaults to Icelandic (it did from me and I'm from Canada): https://island.is/forsetaframbod

Obesity has definitely increased and I’ve seen many hypotheses floated. The most convincing one to me so far has been simple sugar and the fact that sugar is now added to practically everything.

Other hypotheses I’ve seen include more sedentary jobs, endocrine disruptors, and cigarette smoking going away. Nicotine is a stimulant and an appetite suppressant.

I guess a combination of less nicotine and more sugar isn’t a bad one.

Of course it’s not that people were categorically more healthy back then. Heart disease was pretty rampant.

You could also do some kind of distributed proof that they still have it: ask every host that claims to have a file compute the hash(prefix+content) of the file, where prefixes differ: distributed k prefixes to each client, and then compare them to get a proof that at least some number of copies exist.

>In colloquial usage, the terms "Turing-complete" and "Turing-equivalent" are used to mean that any real-world general-purpose computer or computer language can approximately simulate the computational aspects of any other real-world general-purpose computer or computer language.

Interesting sidenote: there's an NSO iPhone exploit that created it's own virtual machine inside an image decoder.

Basically they took a buffer overflow and used it to create a whole turing complete virtual machine.

At least it’s terse, which is good when you’re typing commands on the fly on the command line. PowerShell on the other hand is so unwieldy on the command line. Even the pervasive use of case slows down typing.
It’s weird on account of dealing with a legacy of Microsoftisms, including from cmd.exe which is why it has to use -gt as a comparison operator and not >.

Unfortunately, I don't believe there are many such places. If one is living in their tent, car, or similar situation, there are very few places where one is even allowed to exist peacefully without spending a few dollars, let alone take care of one's hygiene.

Libraries are one of the precious few places where one is not charged on entry or otherwise expected to buy something. Even public parks are increasingly hostile to the homeless, but often no real alternatives are offered. And I think that's a shame.

As mentioned in the article: something like 80% of the code shipped is open source, due to developers doing the reasonable thing and including OSS libraries.

Companies can't just walk away from 80%. And if there's liability, rip and replace becomes rip, replace, and still fix issues -- versus just leaving out the rip and replace steps.
> laying off employees without offering to move them to where they are shipping the jobs to is an example of poor treatment

I don’t think that offer would’ve made much sense, when the goal is to build a full low cost team elsewhere. Why would the high cost employee agree to such a transfer? Who would it benefit?
I have tried many, many times to work with posh. I was even a very senior windows engineer at some of the largest webhosts when it came out and used it heavily because the fantastic Windows Server operating system comes with literally no tools any bsd/nix engineer expects, you know, like rdp brute force detection blockers to actually manage servers, or .. my gosh, IIS URL REWRITES. BFD isn't "baked in" to linux but nobody is hiding their secret sauce so every company has to roll their own vs pulling a package from apt for bfd, etc. Here's your $expensive$ Windows Service license, now spend $20k in dev hours for someone to write a powershell script that monitors eventvwr for failed rdp event errors, extract the ingress ip into a db and block across the board.

I remember being fascinated by its history because the main guy wrote it, Jeffrey Snover, I'm going to butcher this, but IIRC he was some sort of big posix/shell/bash/perl/something-very-shell-important and wanted to take the best of whatever systems he was familiar/contributed/wrote and improve them and make that powershell.

Anyway, yeah I absolutely despise using it. It's syntax is atrocious. It's key words aren't memorable in the least. I know some people absolutely love it, even people who aren't using it in Windows. But it's never clicked for me.

I found this thread interesting. I guess Snover left MS after 23 years there in 2022, and he was demoted at some point after creating powershell. I don't care enough about it to dig into why but if anyone is interested- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31302174

I did windows engineering at the biggest webhosts you know, RAX, HG, etc. Being a Windows Eng in webhosting is incredibly uncommon. Prior to that and post I'm back as a bsd/linux engineer (distsys/sre now) and the Windows Server ecosystem is absolutely abysmal if you aren't in it for Exchange, MSSQL, or whatever random Windows-Only app your company uses. I supported that trash from server 2000 - 2012 r2.

Never again.
The Westerners are parochial about the West. No more, no less.

That's why they have very little knowledge of the great Empires of the East when Western Empires were, to put it mildly, piddling little affairs.

That's also why the Westerners have a Superiority Complex and think that are 'naturally' better than Asians, Africans, etc.

Whereas the 1900s were the 'American Century', the 2000s are going to be the 'Asian Century' with China and India (and several other Asian countries) going to be the king-pins, while Western countries are going the be the 'Poor and Sick Men' of the World. But Westerners haven't understood that yet. They are going to be shocked and depressed when that realisation finally hits home.

Only with "pure" CJK text in a flat text file; for most real-world situations you'll have enough ASCII text that UTF-8 will be smaller: HMTL/XML tags, email headers, things like that. I did some tests a few years back, and wasn't really able to come up with a real-world situation where UTF-16 is smaller. I'm sure some situations exist, but by and large, CJK users are better off with UTF-8.

The most likely explanation is that back in the 70s, the dietary villain of the day was high-fat foods. So manufacturers switched to low-fat varieties and marketed them based on the lower fat content. But foods in which the fat was lowered tasted blander, so to compensate they added a potent flavorant -- sugar. Sugar was safe, right? It was a simple carbohydrate, not a fat, so it wouldn't make you fat... right?

The problem is that the browser knows that myups.com is not ups.com. But it doesn't know that you don't have an account at myups.com and think you are logging into ups.com.

The best solution to this is using your browsers built-in password manager (or your favourite browser-integrated password manager) then your randomly-generated password for ups.com won't auto-fill for myups.com and you at least have to think about it and wonder why you need to fish the password out of the password manager.
> It’s also confusing because I’ve had lentil or chickpea pasta which is ultra processed but has higher fiber and is probably healthier.

That's why I think the nutrition value is the right way to look at it. The lentil pasta I've seen usually still has all its protein and fiber content like whole wheat pasta, but semolina pasta and white bread are made by first removing the bran and germ from the wheat which removes a lot of the nutritional value. That's why I'm arguing that white bread and pasta are ultra processed, whereas other foods like whole wheat and lentil pasta are highly processed, but not UPF.

IMO removing the bran and germ and milling it is taking the materials down to constituent parts and Frankensteining a new food item out of it. It's not as extreme as getting down to basic chemistry but it's still ultra processing.

The (sliced) potato chip is an interesting outlier. I don't think they're particularly processed but they're not very healthy to begin with. Focusing on UPF to the exclusion of nutrition value is a trap though.

What's kind of a problem for me is that, in my country, namely the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, doing such a thing would amount to high treason. Lowering my sights from 'King' to 'Prime Minster' is more doable, but technically that is not a democratically elected position anyway; it's an appointment by the favour of the reigning monarch. That is, you can freely endorse someone, but the King isn't obliged to take any notice.

The truly direct and democratic path to leadership is that of running for membership of the House of Commons, which is not something I haven't considered with some seriousness on occasions. However, independent candidates rarely get as far as their party-affiliated counterparts.
I like PowerShell a lot more than bash, but it's got so much weird jank. String escaping gets pathological when passing arguments to cmd, or bash, or worse, both, which happens more than you'd think (looking at you, Azure CLI), and there's no good way to pipe raw bytes around (like, say, when you want to checkout a binary file from git). There's no real need to differentiate between HashTables and Objects, but it does, and it bites you at random times. IMO, they would have been better off dropping the < and > piping operators, leaving them as | Out-File and Get-Content | and then used the arrows for less than and greater than, and used == as equal to, instead of the -lt -gt -eq nonsense.
Id posit thats exactly what they want. I started my career using 100% Linux-based tooling and slowly moved into Windows land - I have not ever liked Bash, only tolerate Fish, love Powershell. Ironically I think its biggest limitations are Windows’ fault. They want to latch on to the old point and click guard.

You can't just disclaim all legal liability like that.

Lots of businesses have you sign waivers that absolve them of all liability in the even of injury or death even if caused by negligence, but they can still be successfully sued or even criminally prosecuted. Which is a good thing! A waiver should not be a pass to be willfully negligent much less actively malicious.

How that applies to open source software is a deep technical and legal question and I don't have a clear answer, but I'm certain that just including a disclaimer is not sufficient on its own.

Peanut Butter Twix -- the apotheosis of ultra-processed calorie-dense junk food -- isn't even close, at 536 calories per 100g.

One can easily gain lots of weight by eating too many nuts -- and it takes fewer of 'em than one might think.

Therapists report significant psychological risks in psilocybin-assisted treat
Ever since Microsoft decided with Microsoft Graph that “everything is a string” and “Everything is a REST API call” PowerShell has honestly seemed dumber and dumber to me. It’s great at manipulating Win32 stuff and pretty much perfect for that task sure but it’s in a weird place now since Bash and friends were always better for simple string manipulation tasks.

Backticks for line continuations was also a satanic decision, even knowing of the myriad alternatives to them in PoSH.

I don't think we've figured out exactly what's causing it. The simplest explanation is an abundance of easy, cheap calories. Some think it's some unknown/unstudied environmental factor like PFAS. There are various other theories. It's another unsolved billion dollar question.
I’ll save you the trouble of researching this - we don’t know the answer to this and probably won’t in this lifetime.

We still don’t understand how amino acids are able to perform such complex functions. We have zero understanding of how the same exact cell in every sense can evolve into different organs in the human body. We don’t even know how we fall asleep, or the complete role of serotonin and melatonin on sleep and mood - their interactivity (which influences which).

So who knows how the amino acids or whatever are the constituents of the foods we consume interact in our body. It’s definitely not a black and white answer. Depends on what exactly are we talking about and the physiology of the individual that likely influences it.

I like the idea of PowerShell, but my constant lamentation is that it doesn't go deep enough to be considered a true shell. Many of the things that I lean specifically on bash or ksh or cmd.exe or yori.exe for ultimately lead to breaking into C#. PowerShell makes them painful.

In my mind, it competes more with Python than Bourne shell: it's a scripting language that only tenuously gives you a DSL for interacting with processes and the streams between them.
