I’m far from being an expert in trademark law (esp. US trademark law). But I think WP Engine could be more clear about their usages of such trademarks.

I work for a company (aiven.io) which offers hosted services mostly for OSS products. All of our products are always called “Aiven for…” to prevent confusion, and there’re strict rules in place about that. It’s always “Aiven for ClickHouse(R)”, never just “ClickHouse”.
Congratulations. You have re-invented Forth.

The good thing is that you do not require a new language.
Why would anyone do fractional scaling... why not just natively render at the proper resolution. (barring old broken apps).
Distros have historically been very concerned with "real development"!

Debian, for example, packages all of the tools and libraries needed to build any package in Debian, so users can easily modify and recompile any package. Because there are a lot of packages in Debian, it's become a great, stable, vetted source for general-purpose compilers and libraries.

Rust really is an outlier here -- its marketing has managed to walk a delicate tightrope to be considered "stable" and "mature" enough to use for important projects like Linux, while also still being new and fast-moving enough that it's unreasonable to expect those projects to use anything but the most recent bleeding-edge nightly build. And that will create problems, if only for distros trying to build the kernel binaries that they ship to their users.
It's cool, but I object to the misleading language. This isn't playing Doom on a phone, it's playing Doom using a phone as a controller.
this one's pretty easy to start: https://www.internalpointers.com/post/build-binary-deb-packa...
Same here. Purely for scaffolding it's fine. But I won't let it decide implementation details. And have noticed the "copilot pause", slowing me down.

Maybe some day it will be good enough but that day is not now.
I don't think .pyc files can contain native code, but .mpy can! And that's exactly what I'm using here:

- compile any language to wasm

- translate wasm to C99

- use the native target toolchain to compile C99 to .mpy

- run that on the device
> Here’s my one simple rule for debugging:

> Reproduce the issue.

> . . .

> I’m not sure that I’ve ever worked on a hard problem . . .

I agree, the author has probably not worked on hard problems.

There are many situations where either a) reproducing the problem is extremely elusive, or b) reproduction is easy, but the cause is especially elusive, or c) organizational issues prevent access to the system, to source code, or to people willing to investigate and/or solve the issue.

Some examples:

For A, the elusive reproduction, I saw an issue where we had an executive escalation that their laptop would always blue screen shortly after boot up. Nobody could reproduce this issue. Telemetry showed nobody else had this issue. Changing hardware didn't fix it. Only this executive had the anti-Midas touch to cause the issue. Turned out the executive lived on a large parcel, and had exactly one WiFi network visible. Some code parsing that list of WiFi APs had an off-by-one error which caused a BSOD. A large portion of wireless technology (Bluetooth/Thread/WiFi/cellular) bugs fall into this category.

For B, the easy to repro but still difficult, I've seen numerous bugs that cause stack corruption, random memory corruption, or trigger a hardware flaw that freezes or resets the system. These types of issues are terrible to debug, because either the logs aren't available (system comes down before the final moments), or because the culprit doesn't log anything and never harms themselves, only an innocent victim. Time-travel tracing is often the best solution, but is also often unavailable. Bisecting the code changes is sometimes little help in a busy codebase, since the culprit is often far away from their victims.

Category C is also pretty common if you are integrating systems. Vendors will have closed source and be unable or unwilling to admit even the possibility of fault, help with an investigation, or commit to a fix. Partners will have ship blocking bugs in hardware that they just can't show you or share with you, but it must nonetheless get fixed. You will often end up shipping workarounds for errors in code you don't control, or carefully instrumenting code to uncover the partner's issues.
There are broadly two kinds of people who write SQL: analysts, and developers

For developers, yeah. SELECT * has pitfalls, and you should almost always specify your columns or use a query builder that does that for you.

For analysts though, life is short and sometimes you really don't want to type all the columns out. SELECT * is fine.
That's what you gotta do when you store your passwords in plaintext and the password column in your DB is capped at a certain length.
I would encourage a bunch of different games where making a game is a game mechanic, so this includes:

* Little Big Planet
* RPG Maker (from the PS1 days ... I don't know what the new ones are like)
* Super Mario Maker
* Roblox (other comments are saying this is bad? I don't know much, but it was my first thought)
* Dreams for the PS4

The person that made Lethal Company was originally a Roblox dev, so I know that route can work; and LBP and SMM are both great ways for learning how to create engaging and difficult levels. Some of them even have state management.

I played RPG Maker a million years ago and liked it, so I imagine that game or its family is still a nice experience.

I haven't played Dreams, but I've heard it's a strong, interactive environment?

They have. Distance calculations are off, they know it, and trying to make it more accurate. They can’t use Einstein because it’s too complicated so they use approximations, and they know it.

If the basic assumptions of your calculations are wrong it’s not surprising if your conclusions are as well.

I don't understand. Having someone blocked prevents them from interacting with you, no?

So what harassment are you referring to?

Also, most of the time blocking is being done by people who spew hateful or misinforming content and then immediately go private the moment they get called out. This happens every day.

This is a good change

I have found most people across the U.S. do not believe in due process any more.

From Texas to California, as long as people are told that someone is guilty, they do not even need a trial or arrest before their basic human rights are taken away. This extends to taking a life as well.

The public needs to understand that the death penalty in the way it has been known is being modernized. There are many ways for the state to conduct an execution. These are active today. With no due process.

And with full bipartisan support.
Yes, I use copilot, Claude, and sometimes Zed with the built in Claude AI tooling.

It's really useful for basic stuff, scripting, boilerplate, repetitive things, SQL. For example it's great at converting types from different languages, or generate types from API reference docs.

You gotta be careful though as it is not perfect and if you do something "not typical" it will not work well. Also sometimes it is a bit outdated, produces code with different "style", or just plain wrong stuff, so you have to tweak it a bit.

It's not going to code for you yet (unless you do very basic stuff) but it's a great tool to increase productivity. I do believe I move faster.
I wrote a simple embedded C webserver to provide a liveview of data acquisition for one of my experiments that weighs in at <250LOC. Ok, I wouldn't put it on the public internet, and it only implements a small fraction of HTTP/1.1, but it works and only requires mallocing at initialization...
This a shame. It's really annoying getting a Google result snippet that contains your search phrase, but when you click the link is nowhere to be found in the content of the page (e.g. because sever rendered differently for you than the crawl agent).

Cache was a great way to find what you're actually looking for in cases like these.
What? No, not at all. That’s a technique that’s taught at the most basic levels of even open water diving. It might be not as ideal if you’re near maximum depths for a general air mix where you might start to run into nitrogen saturation (say longer than 10 mins) at 100+ ft depth, but in the article they were down what seems like no deeper than 15 ft. You could pretty much stay down all day that shallow.

It’s standard training, at least with my NAUI knowledge to practice rescue breathing with another divers spider. My instructor added a few curveballs in that he’d mess up my tank, make me take it off and fix it while without a mask with my eyes closed and breathing off a fellow student’s tank. Nothing to it.

Edit: ok I see you mean as the reporter ostensibly not having any dive training, yeah, probably a bit inadvisable, but they dove with someone with experience and only at shallow depths, the danger is probably a bit overblown after a short amount of instruction. You’re not gonna get bent at 15 ft.
Breathing pressurized air from a tank while you're under pressure in the water can dissolve extra nitrogen into your system, as you ascend the nitrogen can bubble out in your blood stream causing nitrogen narcosis aka the bends

Private equity Vs open source. Interesting.
Reproducing the problem not only allows in depth debugging but the conditions needed to reproduce can give clues as to the cause. The most significant/interesting bug of my career was a problem in 1978 with a Linotron 606 phototypesetter at the Auckland Star newspaper in NZ that occasionally would have a small patch of mangled text at a random place in the job. Reprint the text again and the problem would disappear. The problem had been outstanding for several months as it wasn't a showstopper. The hardware engineer and I figured it might be related to how the fonts were pulled off disk and put in the typesetting memory buffer so we set up some artificial disk transfer errors where every 50th transfer would fail and sure enough this made the problem happen 100% of the time. From there simply inspecting the code that transferred the fonts we found the problem which was that an extra blank character used for filling the background in reverse video (white text on black background) which was put at the top of the buffer was omitted when things were redone after a disk transfer error. So all the character addresses in the buffer were incorrect resulting in mangled characters.
You could have a reasonable length limit (1kb maybe?) so you don't spend too much CPU time hashing the password.

The divisions are also interesting.

You've typically got something like a group of 16 violins for the first section, then another group of 16 for the second section.

Each section has a "1st chair" which is the violinist sitting at index 0. Typically the best players are at the lower indices.

Violin[0][0] is the "concertmaster," who gets to come out to applause and then play an "a" at 440 Hertz to tune up the orchestra. When a part of the composition is marked "solo" in the score-- say, a challenging or lyrical melody to be played by a single violin-- the concertmaster is the one who plays it.

As far as I know, there's no standard way for the composer to notate a solo for, say, violin[1][15] (or, to use a safer Javascript notation to cover cases of smaller orchestras, violin[-1]). Instead, the violins typically get divided in the score into groups of 2 or 4, or possibly more for modern compositions.

I'm not a violinist, but I've always wondered about violin[0][1]-- first section second chair-- vs. violin[1][0]-- second section first chair. I think I'd rather be the latter and be in charge of the second section. Being second chair of the first section seems like you'd just end up envying all the solos that the concertmaster plays. (Edit: and also having to practice all those solos in case the concertmaster gets sick.)
I had one today that said my password must be between 6 and 20 characters. I had entered a generated 16 character password.

Generated another 16 character password, alphanumeric-only this time, and it worked.

Recently I had to change a password for my utility provider. One of the options for a security question was, not kidding, What is your favorite security question?

That's changing in my corner of the US (suburbs of a large city). Most of the local businesses I've gone to in the past couple of months are adding a 3% surcharge if you pay with a credit card. Haven't seen a larger company do this, but restaurants, coffee shops, and some other local stores are doing this now.
The change is to let people who you've blocked (Elon) to see your posts, rather than their posts. Otherwise, blocking would be useless.
That's a totally valid point haha.
I always saw myself as an introvert, and anyone would say the same about me. I’ve worked remotely for the past 6 years, yet all friends and good memories are all from office times.

I am more social than I’d like to admit, yet I dread all meetings. I guess I’m looking for the water cooler experiences and for me, those just don’t work online.

> Learn your DB server. Check the query plans often. You might get surprised. Tweak and recheck.

Oftentimes the well-designed queries behave unexpectedly, because the column statistics are not updated or when the data is fragmented for big tables (e.g. random PK insertion).
Alternatively, write a mess of SQL like a three year old child that just discovered MSPaint then push the "beautifier" button and knock off for an early lunch.
Personally, I'm worried about the CPU of my application servers if a cost-oriented hash function has to process your 4GB large password. Though imagine how much clout we could get from all the bogus DoS CVEs this could find.

But jest aside, imo there should be a maximum limit to avoid possible nonsense, but that limit should be at 1k - 2k characters or something outlandish.
Fiber investment in The Netherlands from the big telcos is now fully based on XGS-PON. Many homes that already had fiber installed do have the technically superior AON (a dedicated fiber to the home), but it seems like investment in this infrastructure has stopped.

The current situation is one where XGS-PON users can get 5Gbps subscriptions, whereas AON users are stuck at 1Gbps - seemingly because the telcos aren’t upgrading their point-of-presence hardware to support anything beyond 1Gbps.
There is the magnitude of an individual and the magnitude of the summer for each problem.
The point of blocking is to prevent harassment, no?

No, the point is "I don't like this person for whatever reason so I don't want to see their posts".

"I don't want this person to see my public posts" can be done by making an account private, or not posting the posts publicly.

Otherwise it opens the door to trollish behavior like reply-and-block-to-prevent-retort.

To stop harassment, reach out to the platform, assuming it cares about harassment, and if it doesn't, contact law enforcement, or file a lawsuit.
Years ago I worked in a Wells Fargo call center that had all the usual requirements including forced monthly rotation that had to be significantly different than the prior one.

Guess what the most common thing written on a post-it note on a monitor in somebody's cube was?

This was an outbound call center doing credit investigations, processing huge piles of PII and financial information daily.

I'm so glad to see this farce done away with.

Is there even any development happening on Winamp? What would these unpaid workers do? If they can't touch the code, not even test it, then the only thing this repo could serve is reporting bugs, but will anyone fix them?

I feel like this whole release is just a PR stunt to remind us that winamp still exists. They don't actually want any help, nor do they want to give anything to the community. They just want to get into gossip, so the spectacular chaos with releasing certificates and 3rd-party proprietary code actually helps for publicity.

Bluesky is the weirdest echo chamber of white liberal queer Americans, it feels like entering a museum or a theme park where everyone is the same, posts the same things, and agrees with each other to demonise the same things.

That would be the concertmaster. When music was often played without a conductor, it was the concertmaster who would lead the ensemble. They serve, musically, and sometimes organizationally, as the head or representative of the orchestra. In modern symphonic ensembles they come on stage separately to tune the ensemble. I'm guessing it's just tradition at this point.

As to why the focus and acclaim, I think it's a combination of a few things. The first is a very, very high skill ceiling. I've heard that French horn can be harder to play, but violin is definitely considered to be among the hardest. Then there's also repertoire. While there were early concerti for most instruments, it was even as early as Vivaldi where virtuosic violin rep started to appear. Then came Paganini and it was game over for the rest of the instruments. The sheer volume of pieces is why violin dominates over, say, cello. There may also be a physical size factor. You just can't cover the range of a cello or bass as fast as a violin, though I've seen some insanely impressive low string players.
The question is, what is not dead in Google?
