Sure. I don't speed, my last speeding ticket was more than 10 years ago (for doing 80 in a 70 mph zone on a freeway).

I just provided it as an example.
We did get Libre office and Apache OpenOffice due to that? I think they both should become obsolete in an ideal world where folks converse in fluent markdown to achieve everything they want in a document.
We have both.

The federal deficit has been skyrocketing every since Reagan massively cut the top marginal rate.

Combine it with crony capitalism, where government contracts go to whoever promises to kick back the most to the politicians' next campaign, "use it or lose it" budgeting that encourages wasteful spending, and we have massive over-spending.

You must recognize that it's a very bad look when a state says "We're going to let poor children starve and cut $X from school lunch programs" and then in the same breath say "We're cutting taxes on 'job creators' by $X".
This reminds me of a top-down vertical scroller I played the hell out of during that era, "Raptor: Call of the Shadows"

Yes, but if you reduce your overall risk, your chances of actually receiving a payout increase immensely.
No, it does not fail. Maximum command line length exists in the operating system, not the shell; you can't launch a program with too many argc and you can't launch a program with an argv that's a string that's too long.

But when you execute a for loop in bash/sh, the 'for' command is not a program that is launched; it's a keyword that's interpreted, and the glob is also interpreted.

Thus, no, that does not fail when you hit the maximum command line length (which is 4096 on most _nix). It'll fail at other limits, but those limits exist in bash and are much larger. If you want to move to a stream-processing approach to avoid any limits, then that is possible, while probably also being a sign you should not use the shell.
Yes, this is an issue, absolutely.

I've seen some image directories with more than a million files in them.
So you’re okay with a feature not existing for customers who want because the government deigns that they shouldn’t have it? You really want the government taking away your agency to make your own choices?
How much more size and resolution did you want? A 4k 16:9 CRT would probably cost you $3999 today, and the weight would require you to also buy an entirely new desk.
For how they know where to point, that's something that's calibrated individually for each set. Typically the initial calibration is done at the factory (or, if you've done a major service on a set, by the technician who did the service) and then tweaked by the end-user to their own preferences. That's why all CRT displays have adjustments at least for hoizontal and vertical size and position (offset). Fancier displays have even more adjustments for other geometric corrections like pincushion and keystone.

Here's a video demonstrating how to do a full setup (calibration) on a vintage color CRT (timestamp 16:02 for the start of the procedure): https://youtu.be/Oeylkj1vap8?t=962
The utility has a means of encrypting them with public key cryptography so that the plaintext is never in your development directory. GP thinks this should be made mandatory.
Before ESM I wasn't nearly as sold on skipping the build step, but now it feels like there's a much nicer browser native way of handling dependencies, if only I can get the files in the right shape!

AMD can go toe to toe with Nvidia on hardware innovation. What AMD had realised (correctly, IMO), is that all they need is for hyperscalers to match/come close to Nvidia on software innovation on AMD hardware - Amazon/Meta/Microsoft engineers can get their foundation models running on M1300X well enough for their needs - CUDA is not much of moat in that market-segment where there are dedicated AI-infrastructure teams. If the price is right, they may shift some of those CapEx dollars from Nvidia to AMD. Few AI practitioners - and even fewer LLM consumers - care about the libraries underpinning torch/numpy/high-level-python-framework/$LLM-service, as long as it works.
> As a language-agnostic thing, I suppose you need to prevent the machinery from pulling in keywords and variable names accidentally (or the insides of strings or comments).

Exactly. But zacgarby's right that you would want some auto-linking, so this is where language-specific plugins come in.

The difference from today's world would be that those plugins would leave their results explicitly serialized in the source medium, so they wouldn't have to keep being reconstructed by every other tool.

> I like the idea (also a fan of Unison's approach to code-in-the-db), but I worry about the potential issues that come from effectively having a single global namespace. Could be that I just don't have the discipline for it, though.

I have lots of thoughts on this. I was initially disappointed that Unison kept a unique hierarchy to organize their code-- that seems so filesystem-ey and 1990s.

However, I'm now a convert. The result of combining a unique hierarchy with explicit links between nodes is a 'compound graph' (or a 'cluster graph', depending, getting the language from https://rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/~biblio/downloads/these...). These are very respectable data structures! One thing they're good for is being able to always give a canonical title to a node, but varying what that title is depending on the situation.

I think that for serious work the linearizer would want to copy this strategy as well. Right now it's flat because that's all I need for my website, but if you were doing big projects in it you'd want to follow Unison and have a hierarchy. In the `HashMap` folder you'd display `HashMap.get` with a link alias that shows plain `get`, but if that function is being called from some other folder it would appear as the full `HashMap.get`.

You could still do all the other cool stuff like organize by tags and attributes using frontmatter, but for the particular purpose of display names having a global hierarchy is useful.

EDIT: What matters more than what the linearizer does is what Obsidian displays, so it's there that the "take relative hierarchical position into account when showing links" logic would have to occur. That could be a plugin or maybe Obsidian's relative link feature, I haven't used the latter.
I wonder if you have any idea what the term "tokenization" means.
They didn't hardcode it into the client (source: I have personally RE'd their client code[0]), they hardcoded it into their server-side code, which certain security researchers claim[1] to have (had) access to.

How does one decide what constitutes "basic"? Is a password-manager a "basic" feature? If so, then is "Passwords.app" bundled by Microsoft into Windows an unfair advantage because of distribution when compared to "1Password.app"? Ok, then, can Microsoft make a button called "Passwords" in their "Settings.app" and that qualifies as a non-competitive "basic" "Settings" feature?
> he should have had a fair trial with fair charges and faced a fair jury and he never got any of that

Could he have had that if he turned him self when he was originally charged?
> Government should just require open communication protocols/file formats, if a competitor is willing to host the same data at cost.

Well, that's what happened with the "Office Open XML" standard, which has been a catastrophe. Microsoft perfectly handled every country to have their ISO standard pass. Even though it was in violation of ISO requirements, which many countries voiced. Those complaints "somehow" disappeared. The fact that at ISO you're not allowed to divulge who is paid by which company might be related. Or maybe not. Either way, IMO, the conclusion is that you can't delegate democratic functions to a non-democratic organization.

But I wholeheartedly agree with you on the principle. Interoperability brings innovation and competition. Not lock-ins/walled gardens. And interoperability requires standards not ""technical specification"" which is the new slang for oligopoly.

I know nothing about mac but damn what is Apple playing at? Have they succumbed to the dumb trend ux people are obsessing over of late - removing buttons or making buttons appear unclickable?

Look at the left and right screenshot. On the left, I can clearly see the Preview button. On the right, it's barely a button. Also, the default window background colour now looks like a washed out water colour brown.

"Capitalism is naturally welcoming to 'open source' (relabeled as: knowledge thievery) but extremely hostile towards Freeware. It's pretty obvious why."
Reading the transcript of Stalin, Molotov, etc's conversation with Eisenstein was really interesting. Even if you disagree with their analysis and what they're doing, it's clear they know the period very well--it's hard to imagine modern politicians speaking on history like that.
Well, maximum transparency on why he never published anything significant on Russia would be great.

To me it's a very bad smell when you pretend to fight for press freedom and democratic values, but never say anything bad about regimes where presidents-for-life are extinguishing the free press and poisoning opposition leaders.

It's like these all the crazy conspiracy theories that flourished online during the last decade, that are somehow never hurting Russian interests...

But I must be paranoid, right?
It's called a supply chain attack to displace the blame on the profitable organization that negligently uses this code onto the unpaid developers who lost control of it.

As if expecting lone OSS developers that you don't donate any money towards somehow being able to stand up against the attacks of nation states is a rational position to take.

We started with some pretty cool Jsonnet-based build infrastructure and we're pretty happy with it. Grafana Tanka is also okay, there's tooling to generate Jsonnet libraries for anything that has a CRD. There's jsonnet-bundler for package management.

One can throw Flux and Git* actions or what not in the mix. The outcome is a boring CI/CD implementation. Boring is good. Boring and powerful because of how Jsonnet works.

It's pretty neat in the right hands.
There has been one innovation, the SED: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-conduction_electron-...

In this technology, each pixel has its own tiny electron emitter, thus the display is like a grid of tiny CRTs. It allowed for CRT-quality contrast and color reproduction but with the size and weight of an LCD system, with similar power draw if not less.

But LCDs are cheaper to produce, and they just sucked all the oxygen out of the market.
Yeah, I definitely see using this for literate programming. Not quite sure the best way to organize it. Maybe use a static site compiler to auto host documentation version.
Yes. There was a 60 minutes episode that went into pretty deep detail on the different types of attacks that have been attempted since 9/11; most of which the NSA and/or the FBI were involved in thwarting. There was a very high profile train bombing that was would have been successfully executed if not for the power of some of these 3 letter agencies.
When I was a kid we had a Trinitron. I used a magnet on it once and pretended not to know anything about it as my dad called the cable company. Apparently it was able to degauss itself because the color went back to normal eventually.

Fun fidget utility! I find myself just mindlessly clicking stuff sometimes while I think and this gives me a little bit more to do.
I’m looking for something a bit more specialised, ETFs being the absolute far end of automated.
The argument is simply that the ultimate responsibility falls on the entity that created the problem, and so it is inherently not symmetric. Whereas you made the assumption that two "wrongs" are symmetric and so have equal moral status. Another standard way for explaining this is that when judging something, one ought to account for the actual power dynamics between the conflicting parties. The problem is, prejudice, classism, and bigotry tend to distort what people think and perceive as the actual power dynamics, hence long and controversial news threads like these.

Approximate address, surely. Addresses are ... usually not very secret in the first place, though? It'd be absolutely fascinating if your government not only tracked everyone's location but assigned their voting center by current location, but, well,
I think we have vastly enough material to criticize Russia, we don't need more.

Our societies are already convinced those are dictatorships.

But it took Snowden and Assange to show us how deeply messed up our societies are.

It's very possible they are both Russian assets, but what they reported have been verified, and we needed to know it.

The way you are reacting is close to a religious interpretation of the world. It's not us VS them. It's not a football match.

We have a society to build, and it's been taken from us, one piece at a time. If we don't want to end up like Russia, we need all info we can get.

And given the huge price they paid for it, yes, I consider them heroes. And I think history will remember them as such.

Hey folks,

Ever find yourself wasting time on demos, answering the same questions over and over, or stuck in endless 'quick' calls? Yeah, me too. That's why we built Castofly.

Imagine this: you’re showing your workflow in your app, and our AI-driven robot captures everything. Then, it transforms your process into ready-to-share guides in two formats:

Step-by-step instructions with screenshots for those who love detailed descriptions.

Concise video demos for the how-to video fans.

No more long emails, manual screenshots, or tedious video edits. Whether it's software documentation, product updates, or quick "How do I…" answers, guide-ai has got you covered.

Check it out and please let me know what you think!

Happy coding!
Speaking as someone who also recently purchased these panels (and read the second paragraph where they mention where they got them), they're from the company AlfaZeta.

They build and ship from Poland. They don't have a publicly available price list but they cost approx 220 EUR per 7x28 panel. Expensive, but few places still manufacture them.

If you continue reading the post, they also link out to other manufacturers including ones on AliExpress that seem to be cheaper.
if( x > INT_MAX - n ) // overflow for x + n

Your definition of a far more complicated dance is absurd.

Signed integer being undefined makes a lot of integer math faster actually: https://kristerw.blogspot.com/2016/02/how-undefined-signed-o...

There's a reason zig made unsigned overflow undefined: it allows for more optimisations (Zig can also afford it thanks to their wrapping addition (+%) operator).
Right - and site isolation is about five years old at this point. The idea that CDNs can share caches across different sites is quite out of date.
And I think you vastly underestimate how big a planet is. "Put the correct mixture of gases in the atmosphere"? Where from? At least if you're building small enclaves on a planet surface, you can repurpose mass that's already there.

> Facebook’s been caught spying on you with audio, video, contacts, cameras you name it.

For contacts: I have no expectations of any contact privacy on WhatsApp. It's known and documented [1] that they upload your entire phone book for contact matching. Private set intersection would be better, but I don't see anything sneaky going on.

Audio, video, cameras: What are you referring to?

> What makes the true believers so sure their WhatsApp chats are really E2E encrypted and FB cant decrypt them and isnt scanning at the edge?

Victim blaming.

Yes the killed journalists were in a country that was being attacked by a foreign nation. This does not make it their fault that they were murdered.

While this might be a common occurrence in war, it does not excuse anything: if wars are fought in a way that these kill innocent people then they should not be fought in the first place. Something is not morally excusable only because it is expected when done.

Thirdly, sure the crew was investigated (here i admittedly only know what wiki has to offer) but there is no known outcome of said internal investigation.

IMHO That's where the software model could change if more countries gave a serious shake at managing national services.

As you point out it's hard and few can do it, so getting more common open source platforms would be a natural evolution. Then relying on global providers that act as a service developer instead of a service owner would still be a huge difference.
