> It's just not true that everyone feels that practicing art is the main point

then it's likely that you're discussing people who don't consider themselves artists. i used to know some folks who did graphic design for advertisements - they didn't consider that art, as the point of the banners etc that they made was to attract attention and get people to spend money on a client's website, not to express themselves in some meaningful way. they were under no delusion that they were creating anything that could be considered near the same category as a Picasso (for example).

There are many choices for email client interfaces. HTML for email does not have a good reputation among hackers. After all, email can be considered an ancient technology and is historically based on plain text - HTML breaks not only the philosophy but also many of the tools developed around email.

I have found a sweet spot for an email client between a pure CLI and a full-featured (HTML) GUI client - I use Emacs Gnus, which takes full advantage of Emacs' text-based interface. As always with Emacs, the learning curve is a bit steep at first, but the rewards can be reaped afterwards.

I'm just glad I grew up in the era right before smart phones and have always purchased my own cell phones. I'm just too damn grumpy to pay more than like $250 for a phone. I prefer to be on my computer than my phone. But I can understand for people who seldom are on a computer it probably feels worth it to them to pay $500+ for a phone.
I've been using easyDNS for 5(10?) years... Never had a problem with them and highly recommend them. I do 'hobby stuff' - nothing fancy, but it always just works. One time I called to ask if they support wildcard sub-domains (www..example.com or whatever..example.com) and actually had a real engineer pick up the phone :-) (btw - it did work, very well actually :-) )

The backup mail spool is nice too...

Mail causes me to procrastinate so much, and I have no idea why. I use icloud everything, so I wanted my mail there as well, but after 12-13 months I switched back to FastMail because their UX is subtly better suited to quickly sorting through mail for me. And fwiw I'm afaik not using any FastMail features that Mail doesn't have.

Going to try to feed this into some other LLMs like qwq and see if they can solve them.
Consider iterative code to sum a collection of ints:

sum = 0
for value in collection:
sum += value
return sum

For every non-empty collection this returns the correct result, and for the empty collection it returns 0.

Now the product:

product = 1
for value in collection:
product *= value
return product

For every non-empty collection this returns the correct result, and for the empty collection it returns 1.

Now the AND:

A = True
for value in collection:
A = A AND value
return A

For every non-empty collection this returns the correct result, and for the empty collection it returns True.

Now the OR:

R = False
for value in collection:
R = R OR value
return R

For every non-empty collection this returns the correct result, and for the empty collection it returns False.

Let's abstract it:

Def FOLDR( initial, OP, collection )

result = initial
for value in collection:
result = result OP value
return result

So now:

sum( collection ) = FOLDR( 0 , + , collection )
product( collection ) = FOLDR( 1 , * , collection )
and( collection ) = FOLDR( True , AND, collection )
or( collection ) = FOLDR( False, OR , collection )

This is why we define the results we do on empty collections. It's not just a convenience or a convention, it's consistent, and to do otherwise, even if documented, is to lay a trap for future maintainers.
Tell me, why dont you “drill down” and explain what is so pretentious about suggesting you might need to commit yourself to a practice in order to understand it. A pencil and paper are far cheaper and more accessible than a laptop and online subscriptions to “gen ai platform of the month”.

As I said elsewhere, if you think the artifact is all that matters then you are lost.

And I have better things to do than get mired in rhetorical bickering.

Once software has “eaten the world” then it will starve with nothing more of value to consume. I will still be here.

> Patents. SawStop does not sell outside the US/NA to my knowledge and they hold all the patents required.

I think it's more regulatory. There are regulations in the EU around things like blade stop time that products designed for the USA do not meet.
I'd also like to add that Go has the advantage that its ideology of using a "pure go until the syscall level" approach is what makes it an optimal malware development language. It's so much easier to develop and deploy malware because most of the EDR world focus heavily on the "C-like world" and its limitations.

The only other project that comes close to what you can do with Go when it comes to mutating binaries is in my opinion the APE/cosmopolitan ecosystem. But those binaries tend to get flagged immediately because there's no major software that's being used that requires APE binaries to run.

On the other hand, the static parts of any Go binary (the head/runtime part) can't be flagged because of so many devops tools rely on Go binaries to work. There was the Ebowla incident in 2016, where all go binaries (including docker) were flagged as malware because the static parts were added as yara rules in Kaspersky and other Antivirus tools. They had to revert those changes after a week.
The syntax is a pure subset but the implementations are bespoke, so I wouldn't equate the established position of Python with whether Starlark is considered established.

I agree that sometimes pure data isn't an option, and I've had to write some Skylark to assist blaze build rules too, but every time it also added tech debt, reduced the number of people on the team who completely understood the build system, and wasn't convenient/practical to test the build extension. The problem I'm referring to above is when the use of a source-controlled data file would have been sufficient but someone had to write a build extension because it's fun or something new to do (or whatever reason seemed convincing at the time).

Then there are people who think that those same data files shouldn't be part of the build process at all and should be part of system turn-up/tear-down, stored in a global config or DB where versioning is alongside the data instead of alongside the program build. Certain kinds of migration are made more difficult if everything is built into the binary. Of course, that strategy comes with its own caveats.

A lot of models have also been overly chat trained. Responding with stuff like “sure I can help you with that”

> Using bench type instrumentation has nothing whatsoever to do with what I'm talking about. At no time did I ever say that my portable device was a substitute for professional test equipment. The idea is preposterous.

>> Of course not everyone needs these features but the smartphone stands out as an ideal device for use in instrumentation and measurement and data collection (of the other kind).

Your words, not mine. Without more context (which you didn't provide) it's unreasonable to expect me to understand what you mean (you, in fact, advocate I don't 'read stuff' that isn't actually there) outside of replacing actual test and measurement equipment.

That GitHub thread is an embodiment of everything that is wrong with "open" source these days:

First they lock the conversation as off-topic (?!), the rest is meandering, ultra-verbose business speak that evades the point, which simply is: You fucked up.

The CoC people in the Python ecosystem have turned everything into a playground for incompetent people who protect each other by censorship and reams of verbose platitudes. Companies like Google have noticed this.

Searching for color at Pantone's all-brown party
Fair enough! I don't pretend to have any expertise in this area, so I mostly was surprised to hear an analysis so contrary to what I've always heard to be the case. I could totally imagine that if there are others like me who just trust what they've heard, over time the narrative of "just use Defender" might become self-sustaining even if the status quo changes, so maybe this is a sign that I should look into things a bit more carefully next time I find myself using Windows.

Thanks for the informative response!
Yeah really is a cool protocol. I use it with my Behringer X Touch Compact to control the grandMA3 onPC software to get physical playbacks.

X Touch MIDI goes into a piece of software called open stage control https://openstagecontrol.ammd.net/ which runs https://github.com/xxpasixx/pam-osc which then translates the MIDI messages to the correct OSC commands to send to grandMA3. Then on the grandMA3 side there is a lua plugin that sends OSC commands back out to open stage control to set fader positions and LED status.
Isn't this simply YAML but with curly braces?

Another thing is that It feels wrong to have comments in JSON, like allowing comments in CSV files.
Because your statement makes no point unless it is a defense of current technology.

In addition to the above, you don't "give up consistency", you get "the speed of C" (with GC), and "exactly once message delivery guarantees".
Don't forget that we haven't just developed from Agrarian to Industrial. At this point we're Post-Industrial, and most of the job growth is not in production anymore.

Most jobs nowadays are in Service, which is a much lower growth model than Production. Production scales with capacity to produce, which has seen massive growth due to automation

Service scales on how many people you can serve, which is more or less linear, or maybe even negative growth. Automation gains in service industry mostly doesn't augment humans, it replaces them

Service income however scales based on how many customers you have and can process.

So we're in a very weird place where a ton of business is based on Service, so they want to grow the number of customers they have access to, but people cannot find good paying jobs to consistently even afford to pay for service

Seems like a bit of a death spiral to me

There's more than one way to be responsible, and it's not good to be a "helicopter parent" even if you have enough free time to actually pair-browse the internet with your kid, and even if you did that doesn't stop them seeing inappropriate content or ads it just means there's a witness who knows they saw inappropriate content or ads.

It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care. It's a problem of motivation. If I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime. So what am I working for?

"there is no evidence that children benefit from parental care, rather than institutional care"

I think that quote tells you all you need to know, to judge how much economists should influence the way we live.
Your typing skills are excellent [0]. Quality of life years is an imperfect measure, but a measure that exists [1] and addresses the current provisioning regime, dubbed “profiteering” [2].

Life’s complications are certainly soluble through relatively simple algorithms. For example, what to do on a cruise ship? Start with “is the care under the jurisdiction of this healthcare regime?” If no, then it is not addressed and entirely up to the individual. If yes, then the person must make their way to the nearest government healthcare facility. I would expect a significant uptake in medical tourism in this form.

Examples like “birth control glasses”: just do the math. Minor likely benefit over a likely long time period for a medium cost. Same for any other example. Will people be unhappy because they value something at more than a standard deviation from the mean? Absolutely, same as people are unhappy now. Not very interesting.

You missed the point of my comment. The "services" I was referring to was "health insurance," and the "for money" is the monthly premiums.

In too many instances, people pay the premiums and then do not get the benefits of the insurance.

An analogy in the travel industry might be if we had a system where at random, a double-digit percentage of air travelers were denied boarding and not refunded their money. No amount of legalese would make it acceptable, and in fact Congress regulates air travel such that practices like this hypothetical are not allowed.

This is a weird title for the book, because there's very little musical content in the book at all. It's about sound synthesis and signal processing. It's audio engineering, which is a nice skill to have for music making, but it's not music theory.
Please give me the benefit of the doubt and assume that we actually do test things. As I assume you’re good at what you do, so am I. The WAF thing was an example of the sort of report we commonly get: “if you turn off all the mitigations, it may be possible to attack you!” Yes, but we use defense in depth so that the mitigations help cover any gaps we might’ve missed, and if the end result isn’t exploitable, it isn’t exploitable.

Just like in the original report here: “if you turn off those checks, it could be vulnerable!” “Yes, but we’re not about to do that because we’re not insane.”
JSON only allowing double quotes is something I have grown to not care about, but as someone that was using JavaScript object literals before JSON became a thing, I confess I do not understand why it is an advantage? If you were at a place where it was a heavy discussion on what quote to use, I'm forced to think there were deeper cultural issues at play?

Don't get me wrong, the ubiquity of JSON speaks for itself and is the reason to use it. But, to say it has tangible benefits feels very dishonest.
It's a sad state of affairs, but anyone serious about security ought to consider the common ISP WiFi router to be a potentially hostile device and class it as part of the public side of the Internet.

Exactly. There was no outage.
For shits and giggles, I passed that quoted paragraph into chatgpt to expand it to make it overly wordy and bloated (but limited to three paragraphs because I have limited patience), and also to compress it down to a single sentence:

> We are increasingly finding ourselves in a peculiar situation where the use of artificial intelligence is creating an ironic cycle of excess and reduction. On one side, AI is being employed to generate content that is often overly verbose and bloated, as algorithms churn out text that fills space rather than conveying concise or meaningful information. This output, while perhaps technically impressive in its sheer volume, often fails to serve the core purpose of clear and direct communication. It may contain a great deal of data, but much of it is irrelevant or overly embellished, making it difficult for the reader to extract anything of value. Essentially, the AI is tasked with expanding ideas into sprawling narratives or articles that only obscure the original intent.

> On the other hand, there are those who are now turning to AI to reverse this inflation, trying to distill these bloated pieces of content into more digestible, efficient versions. These AI-driven tools aim to compress the original text, stripping away the superfluous language and presenting a more focused, streamlined summary that more closely reflects the essence of the original prompt. However, this approach often feels like a futile exercise in trimming down something that was never necessary in the first place. The irony lies in the fact that the only parts people ever truly cared about—the core ideas, the relevant insights, the key messages—were buried under layers of unnecessary verbiage in the first place, only to be painstakingly uncovered and reorganized by another layer of AI intervention.

> In a sense, this back-and-forth process resembles an endless cycle of creation and destruction, where one person pays an AI to dig a hole, and another pays it to fill the hole back in. The end result may look like progress on paper—content is created, then refined, revised, and streamlined—but in reality, very little of substance is actually achieved. The net effect is often minimal, with people endlessly tweaking and refining information, but ultimately not advancing the core objective of clear communication or meaningful progress. This cycle may inflate the BNP (bloat-and-purge narrative process) without producing any tangible results, leaving us with more text, more noise, and less clarity than we had before.

And reduced again:

> The current trend sees AI generating bloated, verbose content that others then compress back into useful summaries, creating an endless cycle of inflation and reduction that accomplishes little beyond adding noise and complexity to what was originally a simple idea.
Why would Google have noticed when they vendor everything, including Python packages, usually rewriting them fairly intensively to work better with bazel? They literally don't care about squabbling over GH issues or malicious branch names.
