I think its the firmware. Outside of the main drive, there are smaller chips that work with the OS to r/w the main drive. Each chip has firmware whose memory is usually r/w as well.

Once you can manipulate the code on the firmware, its probably pretty easy to find a kernel level exploit.

Here is a reference with a virus. https://superuser.com/questions/854918/manipulating-firmware...
Good advice, but it's a subscription I'm paying on behalf of a customer for a website I made 5 years ago. It's one of the few Wordpress websites I made as I hate the development process and the bloat of it all.
When I lived in an apartment in the U.S., I had a number of Amazon delivery drivers, I think they were Amazon Flex drivers i.e. they were driving their personal vehicles, who looked and sounded like it was the first time they’ve been to an apartment building. I wonder if there’s any training whatsoever.

Edit: A quick search tells me the “training” is some short videos they may or may not watch.

They should do that for all plugins that do it then, if it’s reasonable, right? Which is a lot of plugins.

PS: isn’t WooCommerce doing the exact same?
WPE contributes to WordPress; Matt is just full of shit on this. It's an excuse, not a reason.
Don’t get me wrong. Phoenix is wonderful, Elixir kicks serious ass as a language. Jose valim is one of the kindest and most prolific guys I met on the net. I’d use elixir for a solo project any time.
I would imagine would be quite happy saying as little as possible about their sensors in their watches. It seems like their largest surface area for licensing litigation. Touting performance today is fuel in court tomorrow.

Maybe I was a bit harsh too :)

I don't think the debugging experience is worse than in LaTeX (a low bar admittedly): you can print to the console in LaTeX but it's drowned in other messages. Instead of grepping the console in practice I use \show\thing, which is basically the same as doing panic(thing) in typst. What I do is put commented-out "panic(variable)" here and there, and use the comment/uncomment shortcut in the editor to see the value of the variable. With typst's incremental compilation I get immediate feedback, so a better experience than in LaTeX.
Having a "walkeable" weight is also good for you.
Other way around - with foreknowledge of how fast the FAA was working, SpaceX scheduled the launch last week to be one day after the expected license issue.
Didn't this whole thing start because Automattic was complaining that WPEngine wasn't contributing much to the Wordpress development but competing with them for free?
Regarding LaTeX to HTML, I have had some success with pandoc, e.g. https://ykonstant1.github.io/power-draft.html

It is much trickier if you are using tikz heavily, but it still doable.
1. It doesn't matter.

2. It takes one click to find out that she's the "founder of http://Client-Portal.io, a WP plugin for freelancers to use with their clients to keep track of all the deliverables in a centralized portal"
Thanks for upvoting, however, it didnt really help. However, I was fully aware this thread would cost me some karma. Besides:

> The undertone is that of the cliche: It's women who are suffering, and the underlying blame is on men

Nice you noticed. However, that "undertone" was deliberately "faked", because, you already know... Without that, I would have been flagged within a few minutes. IOW, I am well aware that whatever you write on the Internet, it better be positive towards women, because otherwise, you're surely going to be cancelled, no matter what what the topic is really about. Its thought police at its best.
There’s an element to that, for sure. But can it be generalised to a whole planet? I’m certain you have met people on your way who genuinely rooted for you. Companies are made out of people.
You mean his subordinate after he gave six months worth of pay for everyone not on his side to leave the company?
What does WPE contribute? I ask from a place of curiosity. Code, money?
All the sane people left when Matt offered them $30,000 or six months of salary to quit.
Ah, that would explain why those fixes are noted as "since 6.3.8".
The term is called 'growth ponzi scheme'. Regions wax and wane in economic importance, less so when they're dense and urban.

You don't see the non-premium version of ACF as contributing? I'm curious, why not?

WPE has other employees dedicated to WP and The Community. I'm not defending WPE but just because they don't contribute in a way MM wants doesn't mean they don't contribute. Suggesting they're not contributing is disingenuous.

Matt is not a dictator. Oh wait, scratch that.

p.s. Matt should be careful what he wishes for. If WPE or anyone contributes they're going to want a voice, a seat at the table. Is Matt willing to share control? If the answer is no, then that is the root problem here.
In the same spirit, I never really associate the meaning of "transient" as "someone passing through," rather it's just a word for "homeless person" for me.

Typst is simply amazing. I wrote a thesis using latex and boy would I love if I had found about typst sooner.
I like FreeBSD but I had serious issues that didn't occur in Linux.

I had a Supermicro server running FreeBSD. After about a month of operating I would run into an issue where the network interface (e1000) would cease working due to mbuf exhaustion after about a month of operation. I submitted a bug report to Bugzilla but never got to the bottom of the issue. I later upgraded to another Supermicro server that was a couple of generations newer but still had an Intel e1000 NIC and the same issue persisted. Again submitted a bug report but the issue was never fixed and never got to the bottom of it. It was hard to also troubleshoot because the network drops would happen after about a month, so it was hard to reproduce.

Fed up, I switched to Linux and never had these issues. There's a lot of issues on bugzilla with e1000 related to mbuf issues, so my guess is its just a low quality driver issue.
As you point out, GitOps is focused on a particular technique, so it does make sense that it has its own term to distinguish it.

The term is defined https://opengitops.dev/

GitOps focuses on deploying applications rather than deploying infrastructure, although some tools (ACK and Crossplane for two) use a variation of GitOps called "Infrastructure as Data" to apply infrastructure code to IaaS infrastructure.

In both cases, the point isn't really that code is in Git (most IaC and application code is stored in Git these days), and it's doesn't involve monitoring pull requests. At root it's running a continuous loop to reconcile what's deployed with the current version of the code.

A PR will normally trigger an update, but indirectly, by modifying the code and so making a mismatch between the code and the deployment. The reconciliation loop finds the difference and, well, reconciles it by running the deployment.

"Git" is an implementation detail, as is the fact that it's almost always implemented using Kubernetes controllers. Check out the site, it's not really ambiguous, just often misunderstood.
Maybe I'm one of the few that really care about it but, the first things I look in a laptop are:

- can ram be upgraded?

- is screen matte?

Maybe it would be good to add these as filters.

(No wonder why I bought a Framework laptop.)
Both. Matt just does not think they contribute enough. Either that or he is angry that they are more successful than his own company.
Trains are just big cars, where you stuff in a lot of people, to make it efficient. Because otherwise it is not.

And you can only work in it, because no one wants to use this monster on a daily basis, so its empty and you dont fight for space. :)
Targeted subsidies entail explicit extra administrative costs and implicit costs (or benefit omissions) when some eligibles do not receive the subsidy due to e.g. paperwork friction. The alternative is universal benefits + taxes. See https://www.peoplespolicyproject.org/2022/11/11/universal-be...
Most people are likely buying this for the regional tickets. Those trains sell seats, and do not have passengers standing for the 1-3 hour journey.
Automattic is now attempting to extract an investment, and in a much worse way than WPE ever did.
"If you're stuck in a room and the only thing you can do is read a math textbook you are going to do it. If you are stuck in a room and you have a math textbook and a novel you now have a choice."

Straight away I can see use cases for this in construction inspection, surveying, facility management and so on.

e.g. “fly around this construction site to inspect these things from these angles and return to base” or “fly around the exterior of this building capturing detailed footage of these things and looking for any anomalies vs previous survey footage”.

I’ve been playing with high resolution satellite photography to identify anomalies on the rooftops of buildings we manage - eg plants growing near critical infrastructure on the roof such as solar panels or smoke vent equipment. Carrying out these inspections manually is often complex and expensive (two man crew, rope access, cherry pickers, etc) and although satellite photography is cheaper it’s still somewhat costly.

Another extension of this would be identifying abandoned vehicles on public streets - or in private car parks attached to offices or apartment buildings.

At a city/borough level use existing data to identify the areas that tend to be used to adandon vehicles and conduct autonomous fly-by on a regular schedule looking for vehicles and capturing the licence plate details. A vehicle hasn’t moved for 2/4/8 (whatever schedule matches known data) days, maybe not an issue, but check the licence plate and look up to ensure the vehicle is roadworthy and insured (I’m in the UK where we have specific databases for this).

If the vehicle hasn’t moved after eg 30 days, contact the owner checking everything is OK. If it’s not moved after then monitor or if other indicators (roadworthy/insured) change begin legal process. This is typically done manually by wardens here in London and because they often miss vehicles that are abandoned unless they are in controlled parking zones - but even then the vehicle might have a 12 month permit but have been abandoned. This is a much bigger problem on private land as often the parking enforcement people don’t visit regularly (or there may be no enforcement) and if the vehicle is abandoned the person doesn’t necessarily care - or may not be receiving - notifications about tickets.

Another use case could be public parks - carry out a regular survey, identify any anomalies present against previous survey and flag for manual inspection. You could have a small fleet of these drones which would carry out surveys before opening and after closing, each raised with specific surveys of areas, and on a schedule “check the net of the basketball hoop every third day” or “examine the gates of the tennis courts for signs of rust”.
Honestly I don't get the backlash Mullenweg is getting - a corp is trying to freeload on OSS community, GPL let's them have the code - but I'm all in favor of kicking then off of everything else.
As a fresh example, we (a University) have just this month had delivered about 9000 cores (and about 80 GPUs) of machines, these are being added to our existing 6000 cores (approx 5 year old) machines. This is a modest HPC system.
In the end, what truly matters is whether the codebase is consistent—either using tabs or spaces throughout

I use tabs for code indentation, but spaces for non-code indentation (eg: for ascii diagrams within comments).

Anyone who has converted a lot of code, from different projects, from spaces to tabs will have noticed: the vast majority of code with spaces contains a few screwups where a line or two in a 4-spaced file actually contains 3 spaces.

Why that happens, despite editors automatically converting tabs to spaces, is beyond me, but it is a ubiquitous phenomenon. I suspect this is the real reason some people, certainly myself, prefer tabs.
OK google for me doesn't show it, as mentioned, problem with Google is it is difficult to see how your profile is skewing the algorithm, although I also suppose our talking about it here is page ranking it higher.
Oh! I am blind, and due to my disability, am treated in a condescending way on a regular basis, so I didn't even notice. But now that you point it out... I can see what you mean.

Well if you can fly it to a certain area and crash it into any vehicle, drone or human detected with double digit probability, Ukraine probably would like to buy millions of them.
right, but my argument is no harm then stupidity.
It has secretly become unrealistic to have cars in a city, we still do it but more out of tradition. You wouldn't build parks (tho that would be nice) 1 parked car, the road next to it and the second side walk take about as much space as an apartment and we stack those one on top of the other.

Something like this is quite hilarious if you think about it.

It's possible, by several mechanisms.

The Mt. Saint Helens eruption was precipitated by a landslide, which reduced pressure over the caldera, leading to a sideways-launched blowout of the volcano itself. That landslide might very well itself have been triggered by an earthquake.

Other possible mechanisms would be either the widening of a magma tube or fissure (permitting higher pressures to the surface), or the introduction of water (crustal or near subsurface) to a magma tube, with the ensuing steam explosion precipitating an eruption.

The role of water in vulcanism is something I'd not been aware of until relatively recently. The Ring of Fire volcanoes form largely around subduction faults, generally inland of where an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate. The oceanic plate carries with it large volumes of seawater, and as that plate itself intersects with (and is absorbed into) the mantle, that incorporated water flashes to steam. The steam pressure itself then plays a major function in generating pressures and driving magma toward the surface. This is also why volcanic eruptions tend to have so much steam as part of the emergent material, so far as I understand.

Another recent eruption in which water (in this case seawater) played a huge role was the 2022 Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai event, occurring as seawater flooded into a large, shallow caldera, flashing to steam with explosive consequence. Whether or not that event was preciptated by an earthquake again isn't clear, but could be possible. Other mechanisms might have been a cascading failure of the overlying roof of the caldera, with smaller introductions of water expanding access and leading to the catastrophic failure and explosion.

There's some scientific research into the question:

"A review framework of how earthquakes trigger volcanic eruptions" (2021)

<https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-21166-8>

"Can earthquakes trigger volcano eruptions? Here's the science." (2019)

Not everything has to be priced. Some things can be desired and pursued, even if they don't make sense monetarily.
On one hand, the claim is that WP Engine contributes nothing to the WordPress ecosystem. On the other hand, the necessity for Automattic to fork a plugin developed by WPE suggests that WPE has been contributing something significant—so significant that its continuation is essential for the community.
I earnestly think this is where all gaming will go in the next five years - it’s going to be so compelling that stuff already under development will likely see a shift to using diffusion models. As this is demonstrating, a sufficiently honed model can produce realtime graphics - and some of the demos floating around where people are running GTA San Andreas through non-realtime models hint as to where this will go.

I give it the same five years before there are games entirely indistinguishable from reality, and I don’t just mean graphical fidelity - there’s no reason that the same or another model couldn’t provide limitless physics - bust a hole through that wall, set fire to this refrigerator, whatever.
This is getting ridiculous!

Curious, since this is a strong loop old frame + input -> new frame, What happens if a non-CS image is used to start it off? Or a map the model has never seen. Will the model play ball, or will it drift back to known CS maps?
That's the official story he gave. But no aspect of his behaviour is consistent with this being true.

He's a guy running a multi-billion USD company annoyed at a ~bn USD company for capturing some of the profits from "his" "open" source software.

It's corporate warfare given the thinnest possible moral veneer. He was an investor in WP Engine.

I guess people with really bad experiences don’t talk about them as readily as the lucky ones. I don’t know the scale, but there must be some selection bias at work here.
I think it is an invalid argument. Please inform yourself about the reasoning before you post half truths.
> This is also partly the reason why I use spaces most of the time. If you still end up adjusting the tab width to match others’ preferences, what’s the purpose of using tabs in the first place?

Or if you used elastic tabstops, the pursose of using tabs would be that this alignment happens automatically on edits instead of you having to adjust the number of spaces manually

No... core volunteers who provide work to you for free, which you have been consuming successfully, have now extended the domain of their works to also encompass something on top you previously got from elsewhere.

The plugin you previously used was always completely dependent on the work of the core volunteers; you were always consuming their work and nothing changed about that. It just also already includes the optional plugin now.

This same conversation plays out every time someone mentions profile switching that is responded with "container tabs".
On code contributions, I believe the accusation was that the amount of developer time they fund is tiny relative to the size of the company.

I've not seen numbers comparing other significant WP users to them, though, only comparing them to Automattic itself, which seems a bit apples to aardvarks to me.
I'm not sure that's a warranted assumption based on this result, exciting as it is, we are still seeing replication of an extant testable world model, rather than extrapolation that can produce novel mechanics without them being in the training data. I'm not saying this isn't a stepping stone to that, I just think your prediction's a little optimistic based on the scope of that problem

"common now ?" - I don't recall there ever being a time when UK railways gave a shit about their customers. :)

British Airways however .... now that is an organisation that has fallen from grace. They used to care for customers. But after recent C-suites (Cruz, Walsh etc.) they've turned into a real horror show. Commiting to an over-ambitious schedule just to keep their precious slots at Heathrow, meanwhile everything else gets cost-cut beyond recognition.

Wow, the WordPress name is being ploughed into the ground with this sort of behaviour.

unless you want better alignment similar to the example of vertical alignment, which automatic code formatters simply don't allow for since they're much more simplistic.

so now instead of regular easy-to-type space you have to do \s to search for a phrase?
