If the outcome of the process of consolidating different opinions (politics) conflicts with the existence of the human species, and the human species has only itself to blame for emergently designing a political process with this faulty outcome, than it's the psychological deficiency of the human species which causes its extinction.
From Bournemouth in the UK, I got the same impression as you - looking like cloud sheets, but more straight lines than, say, what windblown contrails look like. No clear color visible to me but the location wasn't anywhere near "dark".

I've seen impressive (and colorful) aurora before, and can well imagine it might've looked splendid in (darker) places. Don't give up ... maybe more on the way.

There's always been a tight and complex relationship between art, money, and power, and there's always been a propaganda angle, or at least a statement of public values, to public imagery.

But so far as I know the 20th century was the first time state agencies began inventing new aesthetic traditions for political ends (socialist realism in the USSR, ab ex in the US).
I did use them several years ago, for Clojure and ClojureScript development.

Do you protect against bruteforcing the TOTP code? I.e. via rate-limiting or a set amount of retries? I took a quick glance at the code and couldn't find anything to this effect.

The scenario I'm imagining is: someone opens the TOTP entry UI in their browser, opens devtools, and starts to loop through all possible TOTP codes.

Yeah, I found the Conventions section baffling. It defines both "giga" and "gibi" as 2^30! Why define both if they have the same value? Then it confuses the issue further by using "gibi" when the underlying unit is bytes, and "giga" when it is bits, which, given those definitions, doesn't convey any difference in meaning.

> I have not read the fine print of all of this so my idea here may be dead in the water...

Many commercial software patent licensing agreements for at least the last twenty years (the timeframe I've noticed contracts tend to have realized open source and networks are a thing) have clauses that specifically prevent or limit this, called "preemptive sublicensing restrictions":

https://ipkitten.blogspot.com/2019/10/sublicensing-considera...

In the "fine print" of the Thread agreements including IP agreement -- reading not very closely and while commenting here -- they ensure this a little obliquely:

https://www.threadgroup.org/Becomemember

In the various agreements they've defined Implementor as what you need to, well, implement it, and it does allow sublicensing to affiliates, but separates out Participants and Associates from Affiliates, and puts a high bar on what can be an Affiliate.

Based on the provided definition of "Affiliate" in the context of the Thread Group, Inc. Implementer Participation Agreement, an Implementer cannot simply sign agreements with third parties to make them "Affiliates" in order to sublicense the Implementer's license. According to the definition, an "Affiliate" must be a corporation, company, or other entity that either owns or controls the Implementer, is owned or controlled by the Implementer, or is under common control with the Implementer, with a significant threshold of more than fifty percent ownership or control.

This means that the relationship defining an entity as an Affiliate is based on substantial ownership or control rather than merely contractual agreements. An Implementer would need to have a majority ownership or control over another entity for that entity to qualify as an Affiliate and thereby enjoy the rights and privileges, including any sublicensing rights, granted under the Implementer's license. This ensures that Affiliates are closely tied to the primary Participant, maintaining a direct and substantial connection rather than a loose contractual relationship.

It is still around, although far less used than it once was. Some people use it on IBM mainframes, although COBOL was always more popular. Also saw some usage for applications on OpenVMS

IBM z/OS is mainly written in PL/X, which is a systems programming dialect of PL/I (removing features which are irrelevant to systems programming and adding stuff like inline assembly). So are various other IBM mainframe products like DB2 for z/OS. PL/X was previously known as PL/S, PL/S II, PL/AS. There was also a "PL/X-86" which was a port of PL/X to x86, targeting OS/2, it was used for mainframe service processor code.

Large parts of IBM i are written in a couple of related PL/I dialects, PL/MI and PL/MP. PL/MI is used for code that runs above the virtual machine, PL/MP for code which runs below it. When they switched from CISC to RISC, a lot of the PL/MP code was rewritten in C++, although apparently some of it survives. (Parts of IBM i are also written in Modula 2)

PL.8 is yet another systems programming PL/I dialect. It was developed as part of the compiler for the IBM 801 RISC project. It was the language many of IBM's compilers were written in (not sure if that is still true?). In the earliest versions the AIX kernel was written in a mixture of PL.8 and C, although newer versions all the PL.8 code is gone. It was also used to write firmware for mainframes (and possibly AS/400 aka IBM i too). IBM even built a PL.8 frontend for GCC, but they never officially released it outside of IBM – https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1147/rd.483.0543

Yet another IBM PL/I dialect is PL/DS which was used for the IBM 8100 and DPPX/370, although that stuff is long dead.

Then there was also Intel / Digital Research PL/M, which was used to write CP/M. (In CP/M 2.x and later, the core of the OS was moved from PL/M to assembly to improve performance, but PL/M was still used for utilities.) I've also heard claims that PL/M was used to write some of the firmware on CISC AS/400 (more specifically, the Service Processor), although not sure how true that is.

And then the defunct Honeywell CP-6 mainframe OS had its own PL/I dialect, PL/6.

PL/I is also apparently what Stratus VOS is written in

The Space Shuttle flight software was written in HAL/S. But the HAL/S compiler, which ran under MVS (later z/OS), was written in a PL/I dialect XPL – https://github.com/virtualagc/virtualagc/tree/master/yaShutt...

Prime Computer's PRIMOS was unusually written in FORTRAN, but in later versions they started using their own PL/I dialect (PL/P) as well

Several airlines used to use a PL/I dialect called SabreTalk (aka PL/TPF), but (apparently) they've since converted all that code to C – http://teampli.net/Sabretalk_Reference_Guide.pdf

That is the way. Arrr.
> You could collect rainwater, but realistically water outages are usually not "the taps are dry", but rather "the water treatment plant failed so we can't guarantee the water is safe to drink."

This happened literally last month in the region where I live, and yes "the taps are dry" is exactly what happened.

The water treatment plant staff detected high levels of toluene in the river which feeds the plant, so as a preventive measure, they shut down the whole thing. It took several days until they managed to get the toluene levels in the river low enough that adding activated charcoal to the water intake could get rid of the rest. In the meantime, there was no water being pumped into the system, and once your building's water tank ran dry (the size varies depending on the building), there was no water anymore (unless you hired a water truck to bring water from a nearby city).

And that's not even the first time this kind of thing happened around here. A couple of years ago, another water treatment plant in the same region (fed by a different river) had trouble due to high levels of geosmin in the river, and they also had to shut down for a while. The result was the same, taps running dry once the building water tanks get empty.

Not to mention that pumping water needs lots of electric power. Not only at the water treatment plant, but several other places in the system need to move water against gravity, or increase its pressure.
"Soft deletion isn’t a blanket rule"

That's right, I think it's really "soft deletion as a blanket rule" which is the anti-pattern; soft-deletion is one option which (IMO) is used too often without thinking about specifically what you need to achieve. If soft-deletion is used as a blanket rule, you're more likely to want to try and abstract it away via an ORM or similar, which tends to be fragile (I agree views aren't fragile, but they do add another layer of complexity in defining the relationship between the application logic and the schema). If soft deletion is chosen judiciously and represented explicitly in the business logic, it's less likely to cause problems (the "archived state" in the post is kind of an explicitly represented soft delete).
I've actually written most of my code like this for the last 25 years or so. Assert and panic. Surprisingly it usually ends up with stuff that never crashes in production because it spent several days blowing up in my face before it got that far.

Don't do it though.

Unless you know you will only allocate 100x times less memory than the average user has it will bite you.

1. Your code is now fragile (in the taleb sense).

2. Your code is now unusable when someone wants to use it as a library in the future

3. You are now prone to memory fragmentation (many use a bump the pointer allocator when not freeing).

4. You encourage people to not care about free-ing anything — when you do turn free on, or turn a GC on, you might struggle to actually free anything because of references all over the place.

The Spiritual Failure of iPads
Gad Saad's Musings Fuel Elon Musk's Nightmares
'Elon Musk’s bedtime routine is giving him nightmares.

To hear him in public is to catalog a running list of his greatest fears: end-of-the-world type stuff, killer AI threats and, in recent years, the scourge of what he calls the Woke Mind Virus.

“I listen to podcasts about the fall of civilizations to go to sleep,” Musk said this past week during an appearance at the Milken Institute conference. “So perhaps that might be part of the problem.”

One provocateur, in particular, has caught his attention of late: Gad Saad, a marketing professor at Concordia University in Montreal, and author of the book “The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense.”

To read the book, which was first published in 2020, is to see reflections of Musk’s most contentious comments during the past few years, as the billionaire has increasingly expressed concerns about diversity, equity and inclusion efforts and illegal immigration overtaking the U.S.

“I read your insightful book on the parasitic woke mind virus,” Musk tweeted praise to Saad earlier this year. “It gave me nightmares.”

Both men share a common embrace of social media. On X, Saad has almost 900,000 followers and on YouTube more than 300,000 subscribers. Both men have separately appeared on the popular Joe Rogan podcast several times.'

Limited liability only confers extra-contractual benefits to the shareholders in the case of tort against parties which hadn't contracted with the offending party.

Before limited liability laws into effect, limited liability "already emerged through free contracting". [1]

The common law version comes without the problematic 'limited liability for tort' element that limited liability statutes introduce.

For which applications would you say Rust isn't as capable as C++?
I've seen both impressive (colorful, bright, straight overhead and fast movement) as well as barely noticeable (colorless bands/sheets that "look like faint clouds but somehow odd". With the "odd" mostly meaning that they move different from clouds; not preferentially in wind (or any) direction, and often just around our eye's threshold. It also, sometimes, looks like a band of light pollution low along the northern horizon, when the green main aurora oval is "just" visible.

Few-seconds exposures on a digital camera bring the colors out that you may or may not see by eye if the aurora is weak.

Also, especially mid-latitudes, sometimes an Aurora display has moments of higher brightness with color, and then again "grey curtains".

The most impressive thing about stronger Aurora, to me, is the "fine structure", the fact you may have it well overhead (not just on the northern horizon) and the fast movements. It can look like "beads" running up and down the curtains, or "lances" being thrown from the sky, and line/streak structures are very sharply outlined, not like the soft blur in multi-second pictures. And the curtains can "wave" across the entire sky in a second then.

But I haven't seen enough Aurora to dare predict anything ... I cross my fingers.

The usual trick to sampling one line at random with uniform probability from an arbitrarily large file or stream is worth knowing because people have been asking this as an interview question for >20years at this point[1].

1. Store the first line with probability p=1

2. When the second line arrives, either keep the first line or with p=.5 drop it and replace it with the second line

3. Continue in this manner with each line. That is to say on the n-th line you either keep the line you have or with p=1/n you drop the line you have and replace the stored line with the new n-th line[2]

4. When you reach the end of the stream or the user quits the program or whatever, return the line you have stored. This will have been selected with uniform probability from the lines you have received. You can sketch the grid for a few lines you can see at every point you have all the lines with uniform probability.

It's worth noting that by doing the algorithm in this way you are not in fact ever selecting with uniform probability from an unbounded set so noone is going to revoke your maths license or anything. You are only ever choosing between two things (keep the thing you have or drop it and replace it with a specific new thing). An intuition behind the proof that this does not violate any laws is that in the case of a truly infinite stream this algorithm would never terminate.

[1] I know because over 20 years ago I was asked this as an interview question.

[2] It's something like this probability. If I was actually answering the question I would work it out properly to be sure.
Given how much R&D expense Thread Group members have invested over the years developing its IP and the commercial value developers get from building on it, compared to, say, Apple's iOS APIs that developers can build on, it's interesting to consider the proportionality of Thread's annual licensing (USD 7500) being 75x Apple's dev license (USD 100).

Either one of these is expensive or one of these is cheap.

Yeah, which definitely helps a lot, that we’re excluding all the wild fish, birds, insects, etc.

The wild mammals are going to be human adapted ones like squirrels, mice, rats, etc, plus forest dwellers like beavers, badgers and the like. The real tragedy is probably the large mammals like buffalo, zebra, elephants, giraffes, giant cats, etc, and the hunting of those to near-extinction is deeply unfortunate but also predates industrialization if I understand correctly.

Hardly speed or UX. Type a quick command on the CLI yo do any of that stuff and it's finished before you can even use you arrow keys to move between various regions of the screen and move your eyes around the work area to confirm everything and select your actions and move your gaze again to confirm the result is what you expect.

It's all about what you're used to and what you know. If you grew up in the age of the point-and-click GUI you might feel more comfortable using visual metaphors and stateful UIs for your intended actions. Others prefer to issue orders and have them obeyed without the song, dance, and lightshow.

Nice work with the guide, the bevy of examples makes it easy to digest.

The colon being used in multiple contexts is tricky. As I was scanning the examples I found postfix `:` doing type conversion like in `(%)\. {%/Apple/}{`3:}` and then I was wondering what it does when it has nothing on its left-hand side, like in `[(+)|0 [:1"x]`. Then I noticed that the [ were unbalanced in the latter example, and eventually figured out that `[:` is its own operator separate from `:` and the middle `[` had nothing to do with function syntax.
That was unfortunate. Thanks for the heads-up, it's fixed now!
