No, I didn't misread it. I originally thought about making it more general, in reference to "employees", but who other than developers are going to write the wording of a software patent as a side project? Certainly not accountants or HR. However, I was a little kind, as the suggestion that it was possibly a side project is completely absurd. I was a little too passive in my response in this respect, as there is zero chance that patent lawyers, either on staff or on retainer, were not explicitly asked to file the patent.

>the full time job of a very small number of people whose mandate was probably one utterance from the CEO

If this were the case it would be a team of patent lawyers as I said. However, the wording of their comment didn't imply this in saying "a side activity of a few employees", as the implication of the phrasing is that employees are doing it on the side, not that there is a side activity of the company that happens to have employees. In any case, Nintendo is notoriously litigious. Their legal team is likely sizable, and nothing they take action on would just be considered a side activity.
Really? I assumed you'd just license an sdk similar to creating a game. They only allow certain apps?
> why don't they ask for the 2nd factor first, and password second? Sounds like it would make it much harder to spoof.

How? First off if it's a TOTP without a notification the fake website can just ignore the TOTP input and always say it's correct and move to collecting your password. If it's a notification type 2FA, when you go to the fake site it can request a login with your username in the background which will send you a notification, you will enter the 2FA code and then password which the attacker will login with.

Most westerners are woefully misguided in their interpretation of eastern religions.

We are still people.

I'm always shocked when Europeans or Americans single out Christianity as some uniquely malevolent force.

People are like this. We have always been like this. Being atheist, agnostic, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, pagan, heathen, etc -- it doesn't make you superhuman. We're all capable of this and the sooner everyone realizes this the sooner we can work to prevent tragedy.
My teenage niece is getting solid at chess, but I can still beat her handily. So we came up with a fun handicap the last few times we’ve played:

Every third turn, my four year old daughter gets to move for me. She doesn’t know the rules so she chooses a piece and we give her the full rundown of options where that piece can legally move. Neither of us can influence her choice, but there’s some degree of psychological play allowed for everyone’s entertainment

It’s been unexpectedly rich and fun for everyone involved:

- My daughter is slowly learning the game and likes hamming up the choice

- I exercise a different part of my brain around guarding eventualities and conservative movements

- Pure cackles of joy and glee from my niece whenever my daughter reaches for the queen
Maybe this is a dumb question, but why would they have to make changes to cobol at all if there stated goal is to reduce spending? Wouldn’t it be more like figure out the outflows and just auditing spending and then turning some off?

Frowned upon? Not obvious? What are you talking about? This is straw man. Doping is against marathon rules and assault is both against the rules and also straight up illegal. Maybe you should read some marathon rules https://www.baa.org/sites/default/files/2021-08/Boston_Marat...

There could be a doping-allowed marathon, indeed, if anyone actually wanted that. And that still wouldn’t demonstrate any unique community norms or change my point at all.
> A different subreddit. Make one yourself. If this censorship is truly so evil, won't people flock to join an alternative?

If network effects weren't a thing, there would be a million Facebooks and all of them would be popular. Because of network effects, we no longer have internet bulletin boards, and people congregate in few places rather than many. There's much greater utility in having folks together.

Similarly, subreddit /r/theModsOfMyCitySuckSoComeHereInstead will never gain traction. Once something is cemented as the default that the public uses, it's almost impossible to dislodge.

But you already know this.

> This is ridiculous. Other people's websites are not common carriers.

If they have a billion MAU, they should be. A billion MAU is more than the entire US population, which should more than suffice for "common carrier" designation.

Such websites are effectively public squares where everyone congregates, and because of aforementioned network effects, there are no alternatives. Banned individuals are effectively de-personed. It doesn't matter what the reasons for the ban are, the mere fact that it is possible removes freedom from the individual.

Unless someone breaks certain very particular rules (eg. raping children), they cannot be banned from the park, from the Internet, from email. If then, there's only one popular platform that has a monopoly on X, and billions of people are using that platform to communicate about it, then banning someone from said platform is the moral equivalent of removing them from parks or email.

Email is a perfect example of a protocol that succeeded before the platforms started to take over. It was early and everyone adopted it. We need a similar protocol for social media so your form of argument can't even be used. Preferably a P2P protocol instead of a federated one so that others can't impose their will onto third parties without their consent.

Just like the Mastodon folks lean hard left and want to censor conservative voices out of the mastoverse, the far right conservative folks want to step in and silence LGBT and non-WASP culture. It's the same thing, and the protocol should alleviate anyone from being a victim of ideologues on either side. Or from being a victom of capricious moderators that ban you for liking pineapple on pizza.

Every individual should be god of what they consume and publish, and everyone else is their own god of their own island. Nobody else should be butting in in front of two consenting parties.

My neighbor has a live rat trap that he doesn't need to bait anymore. The rats are doing their thing exploring, they go into the trap looking for food, and triggers the trap mechanism. When he finds a rat in his trap, he removes it to the woods outside of our neighborhood.

This kind of "ethics" is common in many different areas.

For example in rock climbing there's no cheating, only lying.

There's nothing wrong with hangdogging a route (relying on the rope/gear to rest while ascending a route) but if you then tell people that you redpointed the route (climbed the route start to finish without relying on the rope/gear) then you're a liar.
What about it isn't working well for you?

I have ~2000 movies (21TB), 435 shows (22TB), ~26000 songs (1TB); all running on an Intel 4770k w/ 32GB of RAM, a SATA SSD for the Jellyfin database, and a Tesla P4 for transcoding. It works well now and even worked decently before switching to the Tesla P4 for transcoding.
Me too! I learn so much about coding from that server in high school, it was definitely a formative experience, learning to code with other teens all over the country.

People making use of autodownloaders or just with very large collections generally aren't going to know everything that's in their library. It's also just easier when you're trying to decide what to watch with a group.
That's not the case for JPL missions (the paper originally is from JPL) which generally have 2 separate independent computers where 1 is active at a time.

Since they're independent, the 2 computers don't actually have to run the same software, I believe during Mars entry descent and landing the standby compute element runs a different less sophisticated but easier to validate version of the EDL code to take over if any fault is detected while the primary software is running. (I was going to do a quick check on dataverse.jpl.nasa.gov to confirm that but it seems to be down)

Also I think a few years ago on the Mars Curiosity rover (2012) there was some corruption in the flash storage on one of the computers that prevents the full flight software from being loaded on to it, so instead it runs a stripped-down version of the code with very limited functionality to function as a lifeboat in case the fully-working computer ever fails. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9843266
> Why isn't this better known?

The external affair minister of India, Mr Jaishankar, recently excoriated a European politician over Indians handling of Ukraine. He said 'Europe needs to get past the mentality that Europe's problems are the world's problems, while the world's problems are not Europes problems '.

And this is where that attitude comes from

India has dealt with genocides at its borders in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, and yet most Europeans and Americans have no idea. The United States of America criticized India for helping Bangladesh during it's Pakistan sponsored genocide, and actually understood military action against India to protect Pakistan's ability to slaughter Bangladeshis.

Again, in Sri Lanka, no one cared

Yet the moment India undertakes it's strategic interests regarding cheap Russian oil, suddenly the whole world starts pointing fingers

There's a lot that goes on in Asia that is simply not reported. If you read American media it's almost like that part of the world doesn't exist

The one thing rants like yours completely ignore is that he’s not just “revealing”. But he’s taking action outside the authority of the executive branch and you people seem all too happy to cast aside rule of law for your own personal agendas.

> I've been taught that Buddhists were peaceful and non-violent by creed, but clearly not if the only Buddhist majority nation is capable of such abomination.

There are a couple of Buddhist majority countries; Cambodia, Thailand, Mongolia, Laos and more. Also, judging a religion from its adherents worst atrocities is a mistake - for example, look at history. It is hard to rank them given the high level of sickening background brutality but if we're just commenting on religions not living up to their values the crusades (particularly #4) are difficult to top.

You cite two COBOL implementations which use 1582 or 1600/1601 as epoch dates – that's not evidence that any COBOL uses 1875-05-20 as an epoch date.

Then you cite an pseudonymous Reddit comment which claims they've seen a COBOL implementation using 1875-05-24 (not actually 1875-05-20, although maybe they meant to say 20 and the 24 is a mistake) – but can't even tell us what it is named.

Maybe, somewhere out there, is a COBOL implementation which actually does use 1875-05-20: but if nobody can name it, we don't even know that it exists.

And even if someone actually succeeds in digging up the name of a COBOL implementation using 1875-05-20 as an epoch date, can we be sure that is actually the COBOL implementation SSA is using?

What’s not to get? People don’t (mainly) want physical pleasure, they (mainly) want love and validation. When a woman has sex with a man without being paid for it, the subtext (even if protection is used) is “You’re worthy of reproducing.” It’s a costly signal to that effect.

That’s what the department does. The article does not say what the erroneously fired employees do.

How would I know? The article does not explain it. To my uninformed ears it sounds like a pretty passive thing, which, if you assume physical security is intact, can keep just fine for quite some time. If they had fired some more vital people, like all security guards, by mistake, surely the article would have said so? But instead the article prevaricates. This makes the article sound untrustworthy.
It’s two things on YouTube. Certain videos (seems to not occur for super popular videos) dont load. Just a white browser screen and black area for the video, but no video, suggested videos, or text at all. The second is searching. Certain terms that seem unremarkable and unrelated will leave out the channels I’m after. Eg. “Cop body cam videos” will only suggest videos from 1-3 channels, or “Hardcore WoW clips” won’t include the channel I’m after (the most obvious and largest for this search). Using Brave or Chrome produces the expected/desired behavior (but isn’t fixed with some other browsers or local YouTube clients).

Nice UI. We started on a project that does this about 2 years ago. ChatDBG (https://github.com/plasma-umass/ChatDBG), downloaded about 70K times to date. It integrates into debuggers like `lldb`, `gdb`, and `pdb` (the Python debugger). For C/C++, it also leverages a language server, which makes a huge difference. You can also chat with it. We wrote a paper about it, should be published shortly in a major conference near you (https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.16354). One of the coolest things we found is that the LLM can leverage real-world knowledge to diagnose errors; for example, it successfully debugged a problem where the number of bootstrap samples was too low.
