Back in the late 90's we used it on our startup, several of companies at the time were trying the luck on Tcl based application servers, AOLServer being the most well known.

There was Vignette, and we at Intervento had our Safelayer product, loosely based on AOLServer.

Apache and IIS plugins for hosting Tcl interpreter, running on Aix, HP-UX, Solaris, Red-Hat Linux, Windows 2000/NT, with support for Oracle, Informix, DB2, Sybase SQL Server, Microsoft SQL Server, Access (only for test purposes).

Development environment was based on Emacs, eventually there was one written in Visual Basic specifically for the product, with project templates and other kinds of goodies.

However we eventually hit the limits of using Tcl, and having to rewrite parts of the platform in C.

As it was, being a gold MSFT partner gave us access to .NET before it was announced to the world, and a plan to rewrite our product into C# took place.

With the learnings of these experiences, and customisations done at client sites, the founders eventually moved on and created one of the best products for no code development still going strong nowadays, OutSystems.

Never used Tcl again since those days.
> It's also important to not underestimate just how powerful lifestyle changes can be

Agreed, what's that phrase, "The best time to start was 20 years ago, the second best time is now"?

But it's also important to be a little kind to yourself, don't be too harsh on yourself for the things you didn't do or could have done differently. You can't go back in time.
Agreed but historically at least this came from a strong executive, not from collective action. FDR, for example.
For PIE, the most accessible recent book in English is probably The Horse, the Wheel, and Language (Anthony 2007), and I would highly recommend it. (It pulls double duty as a laymen's and as an academic publication, so if you do read it, know that it's OK to skip the minutiae of pottery shards.)

A slightly older but enduringly popular work is In Search of the Indo-Europeans: Language, Archaeology, and Myth (Mallory 1989). I'm told How to Kill a Dragon: Aspects of Indo-European Poetics (Watkins 1995) is very good too, but I have not read it myself.

Chapter 2 of Indo-European Language and Culture: An Introduction (Fortson 2004) is a very good summary of PIE culture. The book is excellent in general - probably the best English language introduction to PIE linguistics at the moment - but outside the first two chapters it is not generally accessible to laymen.

If you read other European languages it's worth checking out other books that may be available to you. The field by definition requires the ability to read a decent number of languages, so the literature is spread out across English, German, French, Russian, etc.
The education point is interesting. If you grow up as a hunter gatherer, there are powerful forces you don’t understand trying to take resources away from you. If you grow up in a capitalist society, there are powerful forces you don’t understand trying to force all sorts of “resources” on you.

Success in a modern capitalist society is driven in part by your ability to say no to things.
No it isn’t. That’s not true.
I thought that if people didn't buy something then supply would go up and the price would decrease. That's what I learned in econ 101 at least
Russian government not caring about enforcing western corporation's copyright does play a big role.
Occam's razor has never meant "let's take discourse at face value".

That's not least complexity. That's least effort.
The socket activation thing it has with systemd as well, but I don't know if there are facilities for automatically shutting it down like that as well.

That's a nice touch, and it'd be cool if Linux distros added that.
> No, the reason we have laws is because politics and corruption and crime is intristic to society. They are the reality of human condition which can't go away and we can't ignore, so we have to deal with it.

Public corruption is intrinsic to government action, but the way you constrain it isn't by passing laws that limit the public, it's by limiting what laws can be passed by the government.

> I had in mind the part of the "media" which "rebels against the media", Noam Chomskies and Michael Moores of the world.

Chomsky probably isn't a great example of over-simplifying things. Many of his criticisms are legitimate.

But having a legitimate criticism of the status quo is a different thing than having a viable solution.
Maybe a billion-dollar company has more money to spend on lawsuits than artists do? Doesn't make them the good guys, but I'm not surprised that it's them doing it.
Breaking windows with rocks is lots of fun and creates jobs too, but somehow no one is praising vandals.
I've heard that one of the Unix founding fathers had a directory with 125 files that all had single-byte names: one for each ASCII symbol except slash, dot and null. He would then test any new utility against this directory and chew the careless programmer out if it couldn't correctly handle every one of these names.
addictions are not cured by teaching people that they can play for fun from time to time but not get in over their heads.

do you think heroin addicts and cigarette smokers never heard that it was bad for them?
Oops, sorry, that RISC-V code will be 128 cycles per loop on SeRV not 96, as the branch needs 64 cycles. So about 470 loops per second not 600 on that flexible chip.

Of course this doesn't alter the point about being as fast as the BASIC that early PCs came with, the only thing most end users had to write their own programs on them until things such as Turbo Pascal appeared (November 1983).
> There is also the fantasy of being able to win money but the reality that if you actually win money in a consistent fashion, you will be either kicked-off or your action will be severely crippled.

This does not apply to all bookmakers. Also, betting exchanges exist where the players bet against each other therefore there is no incentive for the operator to ban winning players.
I would like add my experience to this, a month ago I pick metabase as the default data visualization tool for the company I work for, we have to do pin map for some data to visualize but we are behind firewall, internet access is not allowed and is not on the options. we come up with offline map, we downloaded osm mbtiles files and we use tile server to serve the tiles. like others mentioned the whole process was really fun and rewarding. I have touched many stacks and used many software to do the work. Motivated by that I am also implementing a complete offline map of large selected area with satellite images and 3d view. If anyone interested happy to help.

just frontend?, or backend too? not clear at all from ur post
I'd say as an llm it should know this kind of stuff from training, contrary to me, for whom this is out of domain data. Anyhow I don't think the AI did a great job on that line. Would require better performance for it to be useful for me. I think larger models might actually be better at this than I am, which would be very useful.
Does it?

The fundamental question is: is the non profit going outside the boundary of its status?

I’m not fully convinced that’s the case even in the context of the for profit disagreements with its competitor.
> As I'm surprised your socks/underwear don't cost at least €35 per year, eventually they get holes in them. Are you darning?

I don't know if there's so much difference between countries in Europe but this year I spent about 6€ on socks at Decathlon and one pair of trousers on sale at JBC for about 10€. That's in Belgium, which is not the least expensive country of Europe. I'm not planning on buying anything else this year.
fantasy land vs the real world.

I am sure most business owners don't want to be casinos, but would rather be clubs. When the bills are due, they have to find a way to pay up.
I charitably assume Android has a file picker. I just don't have a device to verify it with.
Windows does have a significant mitigation: whenever you connect to a new network, such as a coffee shop Wi-Fi, it defaults to considering this network Public (untrusted) and firewalls any such services from accessing it/being accessed from it. You have to explicitly set it as a "Private" network for file sharing and printer discovery and similar to work.
Would they just move the external call client side and use customers ips to download extension data or use proxies or tor to avoid ip ban?
Isn't the goal of a non-profit by its very definition... not profit?

The goal of the openAI non-profit is something something control the development of AI for the good of all humanity, then it seems that they explicitly shouldn't care about making $20 billion, and explicitly should care about maintaining control of openAI.

If you listen to their rhetoric, $20 billion is peanuts compared to the lightcone and the kardashev scale and whatever else.
Yes, quite trivially...
They don't mention how the Output Gates interact with things other than the HTTP response. So it seems entirely possible that you could write some data, notify some other system with a POST message, and then try to respond OK to your caller... only to lose the write. Caller doesn't get his OK, but the other system DOES receive a POSTed message. Could be a different channel, e.g. websocket. Could be a write to D1, or KV. Many ways this leads to inconsistent state.
You are correct. Having written such a thing, you do all your basic UI in Tcl/Tk and have a custom widget doing all OpenGL/whatever rendering. The rest of the code treats it as a canvas-like widget.
if you accept that people are going to gamble no matter what the government does, a state run lottery may not be considered predatory if it siphons money off of organized crime numbers games.

the predatory part is the siphoning money off from the lottery to pay for "shools,etc." but if there is inelastic demand for lottery gambling, that also makes rational sense.
It's not possible. Type 1 diabetes stops the production of insulin, which is generally required for survival.
The reasoning being different though, back then Apple wasn't sure Objective-C would take off among Mac OS developer crowd, used to Object Pascal and C++, Java support and its high integration with OS APIs was a kind of Plan B.

Objective-C was actually embraced by the community, only Java heads cared about the bridge, and it was eventually killed.

I feel it was a lost opportunity, but what do I know.

I know what you mean in that i gamble when i golf.

golf is boring so i need some action to entertain myself. I suck at golf so i usually lose money, but as long as i go in knowing im risking money for entertainment then its really not unlike any other form of entertainment.

similar to you i prefer placing many small bets in order to keep myself entertained.
Or as I remember it:

Rich is not he who has a lot, but he who needs little.
Yes, I think nowadays you do this with

But I feel like there was a sysctl for this too in the past. I used it back in the day to make the HDD in my laptop spin down immediately after a new song started playing in rhythmbox by setting it to 16MB.

Also in this case, in this forum, I think you also have some people who are suffering from a kind of techno-fetishism that desperately wants to see realized one of the technologies they read about in sci-fi, so they're willing to align with anything or they think will do that.
What Can Land You in Jail for Sedition in Hong Kong
What state is that? Sounds pretty bad.
Maybe less exciting, but still terrible for almost anyone running a Linux desktop/laptop, especially those that expect it's safer than a Windows desktop. And it's a really bad look both for the developers of CUPS, and for most Linux distros, including RHEL, that just enabled this printer discovery backdoor by default without any mitigations in place.
Although not directly interest, but in similar vein:

There was once a so called fair profit rate of 4% in the middle ages and early modern age, in Hungary. Greek wine traders operating there featured the number 4 on their seals and ornaments of their houses. (They were also often tried for violating this rule)

In those ages of course there was no constant inflation in the current sense, gold standard was used for payments, etc.

I'm not quite sure how exactly to interpret your question, but untreated type 1 diabetes usually kills you within five years of diagnosis.
you think a libertarian society solves the problems of unequal distribution of wealth? Or do you simply want libertarian gambling casinos to collect all the money from suckers, and the government should stay out of it?
The problem is that they call it "wordpress" but it is actually "fork of wordpress". It was already made clear that if they used an unmodified wordpress they could continue to use the mark. Thats literally what half the blog post said.
If that’s the case, I’d like to hear from Matt about this. I’ve known him for years, and I don’t think he is unaware of conflicts like these. In fact I’ve seen him be deeply thoughtful about complex problems in the past. He’s not perfect (who is?), but he really does try.

Given that he has been pretty reasonable about stuff like this in the past, I don’t find myself inclined to ascribe bad intent until I hear from him personally.

Seems like the kind of situation where only one person can answer.

Am I off?
This is a great list.

I mean, not exactly his fault but most people would still find it difficult to deal with him anyway.

On the other hand, I'm actually less concerned about the identity stuff. I'm much more concerned about how he represents himself and makes multiple conflicting statements without any context in public. I don't want to judge how minor-attracted people should be considered in the society because I honestly have no idea, but the modern society at least in principle requires some tolerance in the value system and I can see absolutely no such evidence from the website. Never good for his identity even if we can accept that.
How would that fix the problem ? Echo-Chambers such as Reddit exist because there is a single opinion coming out of it. It's a pool of people aligning with themselves and frying out anybody that is not following their opinion.

This would also create a tool to cast target people to oblivion.

The real question is to ask what is the real problem. I understand that an online places can be gritty because of incivilities, but a dogme is much more scarier to me than an online idiot.
I'm on your side.

He has met lots of interesting artists, but most of his interviews are devoid of value, don't communicate anything, uncomfortable to watch, he often comes off disrespectful and patronizing. The bombardment with factoids is super random too, he picks stuff from old magazines and many answers to that are "what are you talking about, no idea where you got that from". Or "omg, no way, who told you that", but it's always some irrelevant trivia.

I understand that some people find his persona entertaining, he is an iconic interviewer in some sense, but not a good one.
Yeah, i guess the trademark holder for wordpress should have a word with them too, right?
Is it? How do you end up with dominant drivers for years that magically become non dominant if the difference is “small”. See Vettel, Hamilton..

I’d say the difference is large.

France's role as one of Europe's safest bond markets is at risk
Well, it's not like we don't know about the default file picker. If we'd switch our customers to that clunky, buggy piece of brittle UX bricolage, they start throwing stones. And you know what: They'd be right. They usually are right. They just don't know or care what it costs to build that they don't want to pay for. And understandably, since everything else in Google world comes completely free of charge.

Some experts here seem to think that “It’s great that Google takes security seriously. I don’t want just any app getting access to my Drive.” Guys...

You think this is air you're breathing? CASA isn’t real security. It’s a very badly played security theater. There are plenty of holes, MI CASA SU CASA, that real hackers can use to steal your selfies and credit card info. You still think we’re not informed enough? We never wanted access to Google Drive. We don’t care about your Google Drive or anyone’s Drive at all.

We don’t have, want, or ever asked for access to your files. And don’t start with, “But you could be hackers!” We’re not. Google has our entire history—7 years with them, 14 years building apps, and 20 years as a company. They have our code, user feedback, passports, phone numbers, bank info, and confidential documents. But they still pass the security theatre burden onto us, making us pay KPMG for audits. Not because it makes things safer. It's so they can lean back, do nothing, and then lift both hands and then point fingers in case things go wrong. That scales nicely.

You know what is a much better way to care about safety? A human mind that knows, checks and cares. Oh, that doesn't scale? Okay, so let's increase bureaucracy. Yeah, bureaucracy will make things safer. Safety by bureaucracy was always the best great hacker barrier. Or is it the opposite? Bureaucracy makes you calculable. If I were a hacker, I'd welcome bureaucracy.
I totally get this.

A very long time ago I was trying to debug a flash website that had been created on a case insensitive Mac or Linux and was breaking on Linux without the source.
Is printing obsolete yet?
The term 'scrutineering' arguably extends beyond adherence to technical specifications to include procedural regulations within the sport. I'm not sure if this also applies to 'tech inspection' in e.g. NASCAR.
you want to be able to convert source code from one system to another and back again, and you want to rules to be simple so that everybody who writes such a coverter gets it right, and you also don't want to think about a zillion edge cases. If the trigraphs exist on the wrong side of the conversion, flag them. otherwise, it's a very simple process.

I was not talking about how the preprocessor is implemented, I was talking about the layering. You keep wanting to mix layers because you think you know better; thar be dragons.
You could also draw parallels from Drupal's death spiral that kicked off when (at the behest of corporate clients) Aquia decided to pivot to "large core" architecture and tossed the bulk of the community overboard in the process.
I think being banned for a post like this is fair enough:

> [I hope] that the CEO dies a forever painful death involving a car […]
Did you not read the post? He wanted them to stop calling their fork of wordpress "Wordpress".

They either continue to use their fork and call it something other than wordpress, or they use an unmodified version of wordpress and are permitted to call it "wordpress", or they pay for rights to use the mark for their modified version.

No doubt this has all stemmed from the issue of them taking and not giving back. If they aren't going to play nicely and pay proportionally for development as per the pledges, then they can pay for the right to use the mark for their fork. Why should automattic and dozens of others pledge thousands of hours of dev time per week when one of the biggest users pledges 40 hours? It may be permitted as per the GPL, but use of the mark is subject to fair use - and fair use doesn't cover them passing off a fork of wordpress as wordpress. Clearly that technicality is being used to force them to pay their share through licensing of the mark.
lvm-cache works as well, if you're already using LVM.

Emphasizes that build on another platform even one that claims a healthy ethos and open source you can be cutoff and left to die in the cold.
$15 pints are less glorious though!

A few years ago I had a chat with a mate over in QLD, and mentioned our ludicrous prices in WA. The standard line at the time here was "Beer has to be expensive in WA, because we're not allowed to subsidise the cost with pokies".
His reply was there are bars in QLD with pokies, and bars without, and none of them charged anything like what we were paying for a pint in WA (nor did the bars with pokies charge significantly less than those without).
according to their website, 80% of retail banking in Belgium, France and Germany... for me that's far from Europe.

> If companies can't use Open Source without the risk that the project could ban them from using it, even if the company adheres to the letter of the license (if not the spirit), then most companies won't use Open Source.

Companies can't use proprietary software without the risk of being banned or refused a licence renewal either.
If you're so smart, why aren't you rich? (2018)
It might be good idea for the reason that any stalker / harmful actor can already do such "espionage" - and that will more clearly align with what is physically possible to do - hence pushing the users to be more careful about their actions rather than hiding behind the tool that is only able to supposedly hide them.

On the other hand there are options that allow users to force the `follow` to see user's posts. Which would re-allow verification from user's perspective.
just frontend. Backend is symfony and we will use api-platform.com for defining the api endpoints
These are great. Most posts I read with titles similar to this are just the authors revealing that they don't know C very well but this one included some interesting things. I didn't know compund literals were lvalues but if you think about executable formats, it makes a lot of sense.
I heard about that project but it still somewhat convoluted. Imagine being able to simply use "postgres:latest" or better yet "postgres:15" and switch to "postgres:16" and it would just update (like any other minor version does, or any other db, like mysql, does)
