Both parties contributed to and maintained the status quo, because they both profit from it. Game theory works out and both try to balance their power roughly 50/50 and keep everybody else out of the game.

All topics are polarized to the extreme to fit into the 2 party divide. If a third party would emerge it would be slightly closer to one of the poles. Then it would immediately make that side lose even if more people voted for that position. That is because there is no percentage voting but a cascaded threshold voting. Thus, suppressing underdogs is in the interest of both.

Abstract example:

44% vote party A for X

10% vote party B for X

46% vote party C against X

44% + 10% = 54% for X, but 46% is the biggest party so they win

Question is why the Grand Old Party suddenly quit that century old cartel.
Then you can take your ex to court and get custody. It’s not like this situation wasn’t considered.
I had this happen to one of my VMs, I was trying to compile something and went out of memory, then tried to stop the VM and it only came back after 15 min. I think it is a good compromise, long enough to give a chance for a clean reboot but short enough to prevent longer downtimes.

I’m just a free tier user but OCI is quite powerful. It feels a bit like KDE to me where sometimes it takes a while to find out where some option is, but I can always find it somewhere, and in the end it beats feeling limited by lack of options.
600BC... wow. Beautiful coins and still hold worth today.

And the first geeky numismatist showed up in 599BC looking for one in mint condition, uncirculated, of course.
Immigrant here. When applying for green card, citizenship, etc. you are asked like a thousand times if you have ever participated in a genocide. The expectation is that if you say yes, they will deny the application.

There is a morality issue at play here for sure, but there is also an actual personal risk people are taking by knowingly contributing to tech which is used in an ongoing genocide.
Right diagnosis, wrong treatment.

My treatment would be to first try to address the root cause of polarization, which is in large part social media. Somehow eliminate the foreign troll farms that have been caught running far-right and far-left Facebook groups for example. Mandatory proof of humanness.

Then try less extreme civic measures like more Federalism and a weakening of the executive.

Not sure if this is a general remonstrance about Google not caring about permanent URLs (pURLs) or a very specific reference: In Knitting for beginners, 3rd edition (Imagine Publishing, 2015), the basic knitting techniques have a link to accompanying video demonstrations on Youtube, and they used Google's link shortener. Of course they cover the purl stitch, but the pURL for the purl video will now be broken by Google. For anyone googling this in the future, here's the redirect:

Youth are happier with more regimentation and now they have less. Adults are happier with less regimentation and now we have... less!

It's tough to be a kid in an increasingly diverse and changing society. Especially when they are on the forefront of that cultural transformation and have to face relentless attacks from a large part of the adult establishment. We probably need new and different ways to teach and engage with kids, but instead the conversation usually ends up about phones or pronouns. Like when people used to complain about too much TV and violent video games. These specific obsessions distract from the actual issues, which is and has always been about making mental health a core focus of our society.

I believe you are confusing physics with mathematics, or more specifically mathematical computation.
The problem is that epsilon deltas have very little practical use outside of theoretical proofs in pure mathematics. Even for cutting edge CS/statistics fields like high level machine learning, most of the calculus used are existing formalisms on multidimensional statistics and perhaps differential equations. Aside from Jensen's inequality and the mean value theorem, I have never seen any truly useful epsilon delta proofs being used in any of the ML papers with significant impact. It's perhaps mentioned once in passing when teaching gradient descent to grad students.

No, with sum moved into the function I get 6s for --enable-gil and 15.5s for --disable-gil on my machine, which is in the same order.

As an added bonus, the stock Debian Python 3.7 is faster than both versions.

So the alleged "faster python" promises are not kept, and neither are the "at most 15% slowdown" promises for the no-gil project.
You'll need large economies of scale to do better than GPUs, and you'll still have all the same problems of memory IO, packaging, and heat removal. Transistors that aren't in use cost almost nothing.

This is a big part of why RISC didn't win and today the largest server chips in use in datacenters are still mostly compatible with an 8 bit part from the early 1980's.
I'm following the progress of this package, I would not mind a more modern successor to LaTeX. I'm an academic, and I actually do not mind LaTeX. I find actually writing LaTeX to be fairly natural. But every time I come to the programmatic interface I feel like there's a lot of room for improvement and that's the most exciting aspect of typst.

I cannot, reasonably, start using this for work until journals begin accepting papers in the format. But I am following until either that starts happening, or some workaround exists.
But the feature I'm talking about comes out of the box. One just writes

\documentclass[twoside]{article}

\pagestyle{headings}

in LaTeX. And this also does the right thing on special pages like table of content, appendix, bibliography etc.

Implementing all that in Typst is quite a hassle.
is that because of how the sun twists as it rotates?
The post seems to really be vague around the obvious and most likely majority defense use cases this would be deployed for. It instead tries to emphasize all the other potential uses and mentions defense only as the final one with a generic quote from the air force.

I think it’s very likely that’s due to historical Googler outrage against working with defense organizations.
You are confusing notarized (what Apple does) and signed (what both do). The latter just allows to confirm legitimacy.
The answer is simple: US politicians excel at legalizing corruption. They follow the letter of the law but not the spirit of law and order. As such, there is no need for a coup at all for a one-party system to exist. To set the background, a one-party system is now gravely risked due to a partial judiciary, especially at the Supreme Court level. The first order of business can be to get the Supreme Court to remove the two term limit for President.

To list examples of legalized corruption, gerrymandering is done in clever ways to win states. Rights to vote are often unfairly denied to groups of people. Third-party candidates are cleverly added to take away votes where they matter, such as in Florida, etc.

As such, the military cannot come into the picture because everything remains neatly legalized.

The Cuban population of Miami is heavily republican and pro-embargo. This is why Obama got rid of it and Trump reinstated it.

The question was about syscall numbers. The man pages don't show the numbers.

The internal syscall numbers are defined in syscall_64.tbl in kernel source and you can parse the (libc-used) syscall numbers from various /usr/include/asm/syscall.h files, but these files don't necessarily contain all the available syscalls in your currently running kernel.

You can read your kernel's/platform's currently available syscalls from the relevant /sys/kernel/debug/tracing tracepoint files (I posted a link to my script in another comment here). That way you'll see all currently available system calls and their arguments, but tracefs doesn't show the syscall internal numbers (syscall table slot numbers), but rather the new syscall ID.

The internal syscall numbering can change when you switch/build a new kernel and syscalls have different numbers across platforms. Syscall 0 is "read" on x86_64, but is "io_setup" on aarch64, for example. The new syscall ID aims to provide stable numbering with no conflicts and overlaps across platforms and kernel versions, as I understand.
It sucks when your credit card isn't accepted and the machine won't read your coins correctly or missed one and you are thus just 10 cents short of being allowed to use the washroom and now the three people waiting behind you are just like "wtaf is taking so long".

Experienced this a while back in a shopping mall in France. Like, a mall has to be one of the most profitable places in a modern city, pretty sure they can afford to staff a couple washroom staff during business hours while everyone is pouring money into all the mall vendors.
> BUT if Germany would follow the likes of Hungary, Poland and Turkey, that would destabilise the whole continent.

Kind of an unrelated point. Using faxes and paper based burocracy won't save you from crappy politicians implementing crappy policies or a government going crazy.

Why are Germans so obsessed with correlating that crappy burocracy automatically means more political stability as some lame excuse for maintaining the inefficient and crap public burocracy? You can also have political stability with efficient burocracy. The key is political accountability and separation of democratic powers, to maintaining stability, nothing to do with using digital or paper for burocracy.
Not true. After the Treaty of Paris (1783) was signed, trade between the US and UK resumed almost immediately; and diplomatic relations were reestablished in 1785. Shortly after the war (1793), when France and Britain went to war, rather than back up the French, the US signed the Jay Treaty to maintain trade and positive relations with the UK... angering France who helped us gain independence.

Other than the revolutionary war from 1776 to 1785, the other break we had was from 1812-1815 during the War of 1812.

I'd like to pose two questions:

1. How does the software obtain new data at run time?
2. How do you make sure that thing doesn't pose a security hole when a vulnerability gets discovered? (assuming this never happens is unrealistic)
The point is not much the project per se but the concept, Infrastructure as Code, OS as code. So far NixOS is a relatively small ecosystem, in a complex community situation with the main sponsors, a mil-tech company, who have got a wave of backslash for debatable reasons, Guix System on other side it's mostly a French INRIA project focused more on HPC than anything else, so both have their corners, but they show a modern way to develop and deploy OSes as OpenSolaris (since it was before IllumOS fork) show the first integration of storage (zfs) and package system (IPS) and bootloader (with the boot environment concept), somewhat badly copied later by FreeBSD and partially on GNU/Linux with a set of scripts.

ALL OTHER OSes/distro are still stuck in the '80s in that sense and most people seems even unable to understand. On storage alone the famous "rampant layer violation" and the absurdity of btrfs and stratis "against" zfs are really good examples of blind tech reactionary behaviors by high skilled people and their outcomes a showcase of why we damn need to innovate instead of shooting ourselves in the feet switching from something obsolete to something even worse (like the now-almost-finished full stack virtualization on x86 and thereafter the paravirtualization/container mania still current) layering crap on crap with more and more unmanageable infra with enormous attack surfaces.

Another small and relatively known example: Home Assistant project: apart of their design, they choose to distribute a python application as a GNU/Linux entire distro because to the such move seems to be commercially sound and many others choose to follow them instead of simply pip-install HA in a local venv, wasting an immense amount of resources on their system for what?

Such kind of tech evolution must end or we will collapse soon digitally speaking.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but:

"Network effects"? You mean like, "I'd be fine, but I depend on a service from a Windows machine, so I'm still screwed" ?

> The number of platforms you'd need for this much safety is impractically high

I don't see why this becomes an impossible problem. If all the essential services are not provided by a single software infrastructure, then we have the required diversity, right?
I mentioned the syntactic similarities (and more) above. Syntax is shallow.

> even though BAMF, Schufa and every law firm and government agency remotely interested in you can find out everything about you if they want to fine you for something.

This isn't true, IMO. German administrative offices in general don't talk to each other without your permission, with exceptions like the police. This is also the reason why it's e.g. a giant pain to change your name in Germany - everyone has their own independent database. Can you maybe clarify, please?

BAMF has no data of German citizens ("Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge", Federal Ministry for Migration and Asylum Seekers).

Schufa is a private company which only gets data from other companies, not the government. If you don't allow a company to give your data to the Schufa (which, to be fair, you have to do for many things), they cannot legally get the data (and in this case you could force them to delete it via GDPR).

German administrative authorities don't even have compatible databases. Like, if you go from Munich to Berlin, they have to basically enter your data manually. The software of the local municipalities (Einwohnermeldeämter) have no common API, and up until a few months, there wasn't even a unique ID for every citizen which could be used as a key in databases.

Law firms only can get some data if a court allows it.

If you get e.g. a ticket for speeding, and you didn't drive your car, but your spouse did and you don't tell them who the person in the driver seat on the picture is, there is nothing they can do (except forcing you to, from now on, keep a log book of who drives your car). They can't just call your local municipality and get the ID pictures of your spouse or something.
Ineligible for social security? Well, sue the local police force for 20 million dollars (and probably win). That'd tide her over.
The article exactly says "US embargo".
I have the same suspicion; the current ecosystem of computing is very much a product of human constraints, and it may end up being more cost-efficient to have a single standard be used by AI models rather than having them need to match every unique code+libraries+hardware combination that exists or will exist.
How this affects the computing ecosystem, this worries me.

Curious about open source licenses: this was a big problem for the Google search appliance IIRC
Ok, i'll concede that you have a very good point there. Trust can be (and is being) exploited.

I guess for me, so far at least, some sites feel much more legit and human that the obviously bot-ridden mess that are the likes of Twitter/Instagram/FB. Like for example here or on Lobsters (and more on the latter) i have the feeling that it's mostly people talking with people. On the couple of relatively-small subreddits i visit, i feel the same too.

But i could be wrong of course. Maybe the tone of an HN poster is super easy for an LLM to copy; there's a reason why "shit HN says" exists after all. The only reason i have to believe otherwise is that, in comparison, Instagram or Twitter bots are so obvious and bland, and those companies have way more resources to throw at AI than HN or reddit :P

Interestingly pedestrians accidents go down when bike paths were installed on streets in NYC. Bike paths are closer and have less protection for pedestrians than car lanes so it is interesting that bicycles make it so much safer to be a pedestrian.

Right. I still want back Constantinople.
No written sources from around the Mediterranean before Rome? Also, no archaeological evidence?

I’m paying $400/hour for someone’s divorce attorney currently, $5k retainer and will cost at least $10k-$15k in total. Due to it being a no fault state, they’ll be required to pay their ex $2500-$3000/month (not tax deductible, after tax) for at least five years (even though the ex can work and is highly educated; this is a state mandated support formula based on duration of the marriage [~10 years] and each of their incomes). Thankfully no children. This comment ignores the cost and effort required, both to reach an initial settlement and to challenge or modify ongoing custody and financial arrangements until children reach age of maturity.

Every time you’re engaging your attorney, the clock is running, and that usually isn’t the only cost.
There is no blocade. Cuba is free to trade with whoever it wants, as is the US.
Obama opened up travel to Cuba. I went just months after his historic visit. There were still limitations, such as with currency, that made it a somewhat complicated travel destination. It would require more significant changes to make it a go-to vacation spot, but it's generally believed that is within presidential power.

Trump reverted the relationship back to Cold War status when he took office.
Lt governor of Texas basically said this as an old guy and his old voters who voted for him loved it!

If old people want to vote for the day of the pillow, why stop them?
What a coinkidink, I just finished watching episode 2 of "Connections" with James Burke which mentions this in the beginning of the episode, when talking about the invention of currency. The article from Egypt Today doesn't seem to mention the discovery of touchstone (which the episode does), which seemed like an important detail of "why gold?".

Seems it's available on the Internet Archive too: https://archive.org/details/james-burke-connections_s01e02
Comparing human evolution to 3.5 billion years of millions of other species is irrelevant to the subject matter (assuming it is even possible to foolproof data that goes back that long). And your claim doesn't mean that evolution failed necessarily.
They're saying the two-party system is to blame. Although one could've hoped that the current situation would've pushed the Democratic Party to work to open it up.
I run allaboutberlin.com for a living. I switched from Craft CMS to a homebrew static site generator (Markdown + Jekyll) and it was a game changer.

Static sites are almost maintenance-free. They cost pennies to host. You work on your content using the tools that you love, if necessary offline. There are many excellent markdown editors and no CMS comes close. Everything is under source control and deploys with a push.

If you're used to text files and command line utilities, static site generators are a no-brainer. You probably shouldn't roll your own though.
I'm not sure I would say that "valid" and "useful" are the same. Things that must be safe after moving: destructing, assigning. No other operation need make sense.

It sucks that C++ can't enforce "don't use struct after moving". It's definitely a wart, of which C++ has no shortage. But you can still get away with no default constructor and not having to sprinkle a kajillion "isUseful" checks around your codebase.

Code can assume the struct is useful. The case where it's not is rare and probably won't ever come up. Such is life when writing C++!
Comparing Cuba to North Korea makes no sense at all. You could compare it to the USSR or East Germany, but not North Korea.

North Korea is effectively a caricature of a totalitarian state, ruled by a cartoon villain. Cuba is more like an ordinary country unlucky enough to have a totalitarian government. There are plenty of equally bad countries in the world even today.
A hostile regime 90 miles from US mainland will be treated differently. Cuba is not some vanilla leftist regime that has no love for America. Cuban intelligence and elite for the past 50 years have been active subverting US interests. A unilateral withdrawal of sanctions would mean rewarding bad behavior. Do not let the small size of Cuba underestimate them, they are behind all major anti-American activity in Latin America. They were are major force supporting Maduro in Venezuela.

Why does not the Communist regime in Cuba "open up"? Because they know the day Cuba becomes a multiparty state with elections -- they have to run out of the country. Both Cuban and Venezuelan elite along with many Caribbean states are active in Drug Dealings and Money Laundering.

Yes, the hawks in US have a role but they are not only active players, there are hawks in Cuba too.
> the Republican anti-immigrant platform because it seems to me there is significant brain drain from many countries to the U.S. and that contributes to our success.

Explain how unskilled illegal immigrants contribute to our success. I'm open minded but I've yet to hear anything convincing.

No one is opposed to the legal immigration of skilled workers.
Saying “people don’t change” doesn’t give you a crystal ball. The vast differences in technology, economics, beliefs, and the structure of society mean that whatever supposedly universal cycles you see in ancient history aren’t going to apply neatly.

That sounds like an argument towards Microsoft not allowing third party drivers like this, or at least strongly discouraging them and making it clear that it breaks the warranty. Didn't Apple do this with deprecating kexts? (maybe that's not applicable, I don't do a lot of macOS dev)

Auditing every data file update seems just as error/system failure prone as Crowdstrike's process was. I don't see a clear reason why Microsoft would have any better incentive than Crowdstrike here.

I do think that maybe the commercial OS vendor has _some_ support responsibilities to at least warn and discourage customers from using the product in dangerous ways? I mean, it's not like we're talking about a couple people installing bad kernel drivers here, we're talking about a worldwide incident. WHQL seems like an admission that Microsoft knows they need to keep dangerous drivers out of the ecosystem.
Did Crowdstrike PR write this?
Why does the hospital get a pass? They have critical care equipment, with no redundancies, and no plan to deal with an outcome so predictable it's been in EULAs for decades.

These lessons need to cut in all directions. If you want to profit off of treating disease you should be held to a much higher standard. Passing the buck off to your AV provider is convenient in the current atmosphere but it's incredibly short sighted.
