We don't necessarily even have a choice. I have two passports, and I have to use both of them when I travel between my two countries of citizenship, which is the only overseas travel I do.

If just one of them goes missing, then I am stranded — no matter which country I'm in or which passport I lost — until I can get it renewed. It is illegal for me to just get a visa on my other passport and travel on that instead.

Converting a SELECT to a PRPEPARE does not really require parsing the complete query—or even it it did, some small concessions for this could be implemented in the line protocol to enable the server to do the prepared statement out of client query.

I don't believe *any* SQL client library actually tries to parse e.g. PostgreSQL itself at any point of processing. You can read what the PostgreSQL protocol does here: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/protocol-flow.html#P...
One of the first was Burroughs B5000,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burroughs_Large_Systems

It used an almost memory safe systems language, ESPOL, zero Assembly, all CPU capabilities are exposed via intrisics, one of the first recoded uses of unsafe code blocks, there was tagging and capabilities support, the CPUs were microcoded. All of this in 1961, a decade before C came to be.

ESPOL was quickly replaced by NEWP, although there are very little data when it happened, probly a couple of years later.

Nowadays it is still sold by Unisys under the guise of being a mainframe system for those that value security above all, as ClearPath MCP, and you can get NEWP manual.

You surely won't read this, but this is my best shot: as of today, there's an offer at AZ-delivery (they use to have offers like this every couple of months) that allows you to buy three 8266 for 7€ (2.40€ a piece), one for 3.79€. Sadly, the offer don't extend to the pack of five, that is 20€ (still, 4€ a piece!)

You are not "asking" chatgpt and there is no answer, and this is the basis for all confusion.

You are transforming text using a text transformer. You have input text and output text.

You are asking why is this output text not the what you expected. That is because this particular transformer has said weights.
That's one good thing emoji bring to the software developers mind set.

Before emoji, if somebody open a bug report like: "Your software doesn't handle UTF-8 correctly. It doesn't handle Japanese.",

the response was "Huh? We don't bother to support Japanese. Go pound sand. Close ticket with wontfix.".

Now it's "Your software doesn't handle UTF-8 correctly. It doesn't handle emoji" and we're like "Oh shit! My software can't handle my beloved emoji!"
You may already know this but:

1. A more exact analogy would be WSDL+SOAP.

2. WSDL and SOAP are defined in XML, and SOAP describes XML.

3. The popularity of these technologies followed the popularity (both rise and decline) of XML generally.

4. TypeSpec describes JSON and protobuf, and will likely also lose popularity if those formats do.

True, it's not bad as a thought, I threw it in there to tease others into the full article, it's the suspicion of zeal driven by funding that's the more damaging charge.

Still not as strong as the famous "Dinosaurs are thin at one end, much thicker in the middle, and thin again at the other end" conjecture.
How you go from source to target code without an AST is that the syntax-directed translation step in your implementation (that which would build the AST) doesn't bother with that and just builds the output code instead. The extra traversal is skipped; replaced by the original parser's traversal of the raw syntax.

E.g. pseudo-Yacc rules for compiling the while loop in a C-like notation.

while_loop : WHILE '(' expr ')' statement
{
let back = get_label();
let fwd = get_label();
let expr = $3; // code for expr recursively generated
let stmt = $5; // code for statement, recursively generated
$$ = make_code(stmt.reg(),
`$back:\n`
`${expr.code()}\n`
`BF ${expr.reg}, $fwd\n` // branch if false
`${stmt.code()}\n`
`JMP $back\n`
`$fwd:\n`)
}
;

Every code fragment coming out of a rule has .code() and .reg(): the generated code, which is just a string, and the output register where it leaves its value. Such representational details are decided by the compiler writer.

The while statement produces no value, so we just borrow the statement's .reg() as a dummy in the call to make_code; our rule is that every code fragment has an output register, whether it produces a value or not.

When the LALR(1) parser reduces this while loop rule to the while_loop grammar symbol, the expr and statements have already been processed; so the rule action has ready access to the code objects for them. We just synthesize a new code object. We grab a pair of labels that we need for the forward and back jump.

I'm assuming we have a vaguely JS-like programming language being used for the grammar rule actions, in which we have template strings with interpolation, and adjacent strings get merged into one. The bytecode assembly is line oriented, so we have \n breaks.

One possible kind of expression is a simple integer constant, INTEGER:

expr : INTEGER
{
let reg = allocate_reg();
let val = $1
$$ = make_code(reg,
`LOAD $reg, #$val\n`)
}

One possible statement is an empty statement dented by empty curly braces:

statement : '{' '}'
{
$$ = make_code(R0, // dedicated zero register
""); // no-code solution
}

So then when we have while (1) { } we might get R1 allocated in the expr rule, like this:

LOAD R1, #1\n ; output register is R1

then in the while loop, things get put together like this:

L0:\n ; back label
LOAD R1, #1\n ; code for expr
BF R1, L1\n ; branch if false to L1
; no code came from empty statement
JMP L0 ; back branch
L1:\n ; fwd label

> In my opinion, for such a situation it would make sense for the management to apply a more hands-off approach with respect to managing the technical employees. If you don't understand what they are doing, employ great people that you trust and let them do their technical things in a rather hands-off way.

This never works. I work in a place with a bunch of very competent people (not perfect, but good), and there are still so many people trying to "dig the moat" -- own a project where they can do whatever stupid shit they want. They leave years later and senior managers are told about the mess they left behind. Can you imagine what happens where most people are average or less?
I apologize for having been part of the bastardization of a term. I think none of us know what the right term might be for the kinds of graphs we generate.
On my Mac with Safari, Youtube uses VP9, even with 4k HDR material. Apple Silicon Macs have VP9 hardware decoding, so the load is very small.

I think this will be the model case for future historians to study software market in our pathetic times.

Period tracker app is something a programming student can do. (Maybe with some questionable choices resulting in potential data loss, but this can be fixed.) You don't need a degree to make basic cycle prediction, and you can't reason about anything else without real medical knowledge. So this is something that can be done once in open source, and put onto F-Droid for everyone to use (and, of course, it already has such apps). Something as simple as calculator does not need “cloud account”, nor internet connection at all.

But how are we going to make money on that? How do we grab data that can be sold from users?

So the snake oil festival starts. From cute backgrounds to “AI advice”, lots of nonsense gets invented to grab and hold user attention, and hordes of paid biological word generators pretend that they have never felt “safe” before using “this app”. Many choose to directly ask for sex and pregnancy planning data to be sure they are the first who can sell it. Everything is done to smoke-screen the fact that users are only needed to input as much data into the machine as possible.

“Privacy focused” is just one of such fake labels. It means “we will try hard to protect any data we can sell from other bastards who want to do the same”.

Needless to say, little data brokers just follow the example of platform owners who run the circus, and dream to become data mafia kingpins one day. They benefit from each other, so you won't find simple apps with no strings attached being recommended by the app stores, because they are Bad for Business™.

As for third party “analytic solutions”, in simple terms, you simply let them collect some data on your users to get some charts and generally useless information (useful information costs money — sometimes a lot of money; each time Google or Apple decide whether they should do X or not, it costs Facebook a large sum, and new agreements behind closed doors).
This is amazing! definitely giving me Yugop vibes. I totally see these tools shaping a whole new style of online media. It certainly has the potential.
It is unironically more plausible than etching a supercomputer inside a proton, yes. It's odd, but it's not broken.
It runs well natively; but for older systems, I'd suggest running this first once you get an internet connection before inst/start:

% webfs
% ramfs
% hget http://plan9.stanleylieber.com/rc/mountcwfs >/tmp/mountcwfs
% chmod +x /tmp/mountcwfs
% bind /tmp/mountcwfs /bin/inst/mountcwfs

Then, at preppart:

> d other
> d fscache
> d fsworm
> a fsmain [first free cylinder] .+100%
> w
> q
> 2. compiled then interpreted bytecode

You can also compile to bytecode (when building), and then compile that bytecode to the machine code (when running). That way, you can take advantage of the exact processor that is running your program.

This is the approach taken by .NET and Java, and I presume most other runtime environments that use bytecode.
Protect your main branch?
It can also execute a query incrementally. In fact, certain features rely on this behavior. “Watch live data” (in SSMS) for extended events is actually an infinite table-valued function. It’s not exactly rocket science to do in a database, you just need to model data sources and operators as iterators.
Well it's a lot better than not letting them leave. Staying in and paying taxes there supports Putin; plus if they knew they are stuck in and can't move to the civilised world, they'd have to develop some sense of belonging with Russia. EU is making everything possible to suck out everyone with half the brain from Russia and this is a good thing. A lot of new immigration programs that appear to be specifically tailored to be convenient for Russians, appeared since the war began.
So the logic is to:

- make tourism/travel harder by limiting visas and having people fly through far away stopovers (Dubai, Istanbul, or Belgrade for those who can afford $2K economy ticket)

- make immigration easier

- make any cross-border business harder - no SWIFT, no way to get in Russian IT-related money and most of the money overall even if transfer happens through 3rd world, etc.

This way people leave, realise they can't live in 2 countries and have to pick, then realise they can't do cross border business nearly as conveniently as they hoped, so concentrate on local or US market, then realise how much easier it is vs doing business in Russia (all they need to do that is a magic kick to initially force them to), and never look back.

Granted, few of them believe in democracy or even opposed to Putin. Mostly they see Europe as "safe place with a system which is easy to game", but that's OK. Their children will integrate and will be different. After all, save for American expats and Hong Kong refugees (who go to UK anyway), these are by far the best kind of immigrants Europe can hope for.

For a long time, bucket name is believed to be non-sensitive so they are sometimes placed in public just for convenience (like in CI scripts of public Git repositories). It's easy to collect examples by searching "s3://" on sourcegraph. I believe it's much easier to find a bucket charging a company/open source project/person than we expect.

Politics can add another layer to sci-fi.

For example "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" is a great sci-fi on its own. But the background of McCarthyism and the red scare of its time makes it much cooler and much more entertaining and thought provoking.

I am slightly annoyed by Netflix's adaption of the book which takes the technocratic communist China out of it. I understand why it has to be like that but still we would have better TV if everything didn't have to be boiled in the same generic soup.

Q: Why is this not just an app?

A: Because people wouldn't pay $200 for an app. Because there is ChatGPT as an app. Because people love buying tangible stuff. Because VC see this as "a new category" they want to dominate.
That looks pretty good. I'm glad that the plan is to make this more typing friendly - systemd-run is not good enough for daily usage.
Wow, that reeks of arrogance.

Real-ESRGAN addresses the challenge of blind super-resolution, aiming to improve the quality of blurry or pixelated images that have undergone unknown and complex degradations. I made a minimal notebook that can upscale videos to 4k on free google colab using Real-ESRGAN!
I'm not sure i entirely understand your example (if there are 5 checkboxes and 1 checked, presumably length would be the same regardless which one of those are checked). However to your broader point, i agree there exist scenarios along those lines (e.g. fingerprinting known communication based on length), however most of them apply even better when not using compression.
> MI: Can we point to deflationary periods where there was an increase in the standard of living?

> PB: Of course. During the nineteenth century in many countries we observed falling prices caused by strong economic growth. In the book, I analyze in detail the United States from 1865 to 1896. During this period the US experienced thirty years of falling prices and a strong increase in the standard of living at the same time. In fact, the natural result of economic growth is that prices tend to fall and the population enjoys the increase in production in form of lower prices. Something we observe today in the technology sector.

I have trouble viewing this as traditional “deflation” but don’t have the expertise to really understand it. If there is a technological revolution like in the period quoted above, then prices may fall due to things like efficient production. But is that really deflationary? I think the question is whether deflation is a good or bad thing when everything else is not changing. Like if the standard of living is not changing due to technology but prices are falling, what does that mean?

I did find other parts of this short interview convincing though, in particular the argument that every exchange has a buyer and seller and even in a deflationary period, there are people benefiting from the exchange - like due to falling prices. So it’s not inherently bad but just a redistribution. And the opposite condition of inflation is also the same - it’s not inherently bad but just a redistribution. As for who benefits from pushing a default inflationary posture:

> Who benefits from continued inflation? Well, the political and business elites. The biggest debtor in our economies is the state. Also many business elites are highly indebted. They would lose out in a scenario with price deflation.

It seems like the simplest explanation - this view point in favor of inflation is pushed because there are people who stand to benefit greatly from those conditions. Or is that too cynical?

Yeah, but it won't.
Just to make sure we're on the same page, here's the definition of faith from Merriam Webster that I think applies:

a(1): belief and trust in and loyalty to God
(2): belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion
b(1): firm belief in something for which there is no proof
(2): complete trust

The first thing is you don't have to "believe" in the idea I outlined to use it. It's just a condition under which a probabilistic explanation doesn't account for the lack of observed intelligent life. And, it hasn't been disproven. So that's a way any probabilistic model is incomplete.

Second, we could come to seriously believe in this theory through consensus direct interactions with these higher powers. That wouldn't require a leap of faith at all. If robots showed up and were like "we were sent by your creators, they say you're doing great" and gave us a second moon as a present, that would be very strong proof of more powerful beings.
As a lone hobbyist programmer, I will say that engaging with someone and their projects is one of the most wonderful things you can do for them. It really is something that can save them from some rather dark thoughts.

I have this tendency to start projects whose entire purpose is to prove to myself that something is possible and that I'm not crazy for thinking it. Even when I see it working right in front of me, I feel like I'm insane and that my projects make no sense. When another mind shows up and the idea resonates with them, it changes everything for me. Suddenly it's not insane anymore. Someone else understood it.

I think advertising is unethical so I try really hard not to advertise my stuff. Against all odds, people have managed to find my work despite that. It's incredibly motivating when it happens. It feels like I finally reached out to someone. I've received email about things I've written and published and it really made my day. It's motivated me to participate in more and more open source projects, and it's motivated me to email blog authors too. It turns out people respond when you email them. I used to think they were too busy to reply to me or something.
