People could, obviously, die from leaking a military operation. You're right that more people would die in a larger operation, but I'd assume most of us are okay with firing or prosecuting people for risking lives for not following basic policies.

Yeah don’t get me wrong I believe raising the burden of extraction is an effective strategy I just think it’s been solved at scale ie voting rings and astro turfing operations on Reddit - and at the nation state level I’d just bribe or extort the mods and admins directly (or the IT person to dump the database).

> As a consumer of Atom feeds I find whole content feeds like that quite convenient, provided they don't get into the thousands of entries.

Atom does have an RFC for supporting pagination so it is possible (client support provided) to have both a short feed as well as full content history: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5005#section-3

For Wordpress sites, `?paged=X` can be used to paginate through RSS feeds, although that's more of a Wordpress standard than an RSS/Atom standard: https://codex.wordpress.org/Pagination

My personal gripe is that clients checking for query params would seem to rule out pagination of static feeds (so you'd end up shipping a single huge response to the client) but now that I look closer, I guess you could achieve it via Atom, you'd just end up having to reshuffle every feed whenever pages get updated.

I went through some of this recently when standing up some home software to generate RSS feeds for sites that don't have them :)
`rm -i` with a yes to a read-only file does delete that file. But maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by it being a no-op.

'rm' (without '-i') does exactly the same. so for read-only files, '-i' changes nothing.

whereas '-f' does change the behavior of 'rm' on read-only files. it doesn't just override '-i'.

You should read the release that CISA put out [0]. The use of Signal for classified discussions is not a suggested use. True, it's not explicitly forbidden, but people entrusted with that access should know better.

Saying that CISA approved Signal (and, in right-wing sources, saying "Biden administration CISA") is an attempt to minimize and distract.

They shouldn't have been texting classified information. Full stop.

You have a point, for sure; the _whole_ previous century (couple centuries, even) of Japan economical history is one-of-a-kind (as is Argentina’s).

However, wtr. “lost decades are quite easy to understand with conventional economics”: that’s more debatable. For example, stagflation is common(ly explained), but stag-deflation (as in Japan) is more unusual and has weirder effects. The US subprime crisis was also a real estate bubble (which, here also, rippled to the financial markets), but its burst had quite different fallouts.

Anyway, thanks for adding to the discussion, and disclaimer: IANAE (I Am Not An Economist — thanks God ^^)
For me it's not over till there's an FDA approved intranasal sars-cov-2 vaccine (mucosal) to complement the intramuscular (humoral) one. Different immune compartments, different antibodies, different tissues/organs protected. It's like we did 2/3 of the race, declared victory and walked off.

5 years on and I've still managed to avoid being infected with sars-cov-2. I was going to continue the extremely burdensome mitigation behaviors till there was an intranasal available... but with how things are in the USA now it seems like this will never happen. I'm just going to have to roll the dice on my car-accident-equivalent sars-cov-2 first infection now, before I get any older, and hope I only come out with minor injuries to my mucosal tissues. My humoral tissues / organs should be fine thanks to the intramuscular vaccinations.
Country or region blocks based on IPs used to (c. ~2000) be pretty standard. Blackhole the blocks associated with China, Russia, and maybe Africa, and your failed-login logs drop from scrolling so fast you can't read them, to a handful of lines per minute. Almost all the traffic was from those blocks, and was malicious. Meanwhile, for many sites, your odds (especially back then) of getting legitimate traffic from, say, China, was nearly zero, so the cost of blocking them was effectively nothing.

Cloudflare is basically still just this, but with more steps.
"Photons (being massless) have 100% of their velocity in the spatial dimensions and no velocity in the time dimension"

I kinda see what you're trying to say, but these words aren't a particularly good match for the math in special relativity. To an observer, any photon's velocity 4-vector looks like V = (c,c,0,0). That's a "c" in the spatial direction the photon's moving, and a "c" in the time direction. So, plenty of velocity in the time direction.

What is zero is the _proper time_ along a photon's trajectory through space & time. An observer who's co-moving with the photon (call me if you ever meet one, we can write a paper together) would see a) the photon holding still and b) no time passing.
I'm almost finished with a large, complex app written with Svelte 5, web sockets and Threlte (Three JS) [0]. Previously, I'd written React for about a decade, mostly on the UI side of things.

I vastly prefer Svelte, because of how clean the code feels. There's only one component per file, and the syntax looks and writes deceptively like vanilla JS and HTML. There's a bit of mind-warp when you realize Svelte doesn't want you passing components with props as props into another component. Svelte gives you "Snippets" instead, which work for some reusability, but are limited. It sort of forces simplicity on you by design, which I like. Most of React's deep nesting and state management doesn't exist in Svelte and is replaced with simple, better primitives.

The bigger gain though for me was Svelte(kit) vs. Next JS. It's very clear what is on the server and what is on the client, and there's none of that "use client" garbage with silly magic exports for Next JS things. The docs are great.

Svelte's biggest disadvantage is that the UI library ecosystem isn't as large. For me that wasn't as big of an issue because it was my expertise, but everyone else looking for a drop in UI library will find the Svelte versions a little worse than their React counterparts.

Because svelte is compiled, it also is by default very snappy. I think choosing Svelte would likely give most devs a speed boost vs. the spinner soup that I've seen most React projects become. A lot of that is going to be in the skill of the programmer, but I love how fast my app is.

Looking around the neighborhood, I'm seeing sidewalks on many of those streets, paved paths along public green spaces that run between the houses, multiple apartment buildings and a retirement center. Looking at the map, there also appear to be trails through the woods leading to a nearby sports center that's a 5 minute walk away, as well as a nearby bakery.
You under estimate that people very much want to build and be part of something lasting and meaningful.

Certainly takes its mental toll - its part of the trade off and it certainly isn't for everyone. Its a demanding job.

My point is that some people want that and some people want to hang out at the beach - its a personal choice.

OP original comment is question why people work so hard - because sometimes to do important things it requires hard work.

I think this may vary massively depending on what suburbs in what country and even what city you are talking about. The "usable front yard" or "front patio" is an almost non-existent design feature in free standing homes in Australia, at least in the more moderate climates in the southern side of the eastern seaboard.

I'd heavily agree with the idea that my suburban experience is that I do not know my neighbours, and the only time I've known them has been for bad reasons (harassment, fencing disputes etc.). In the inner city, I may not know my neighbours, but you probably know and interact with your general community in public spaces a lot more than the suburbs, mainly because you don't get everywhere by car. The small coffee shop on every corner in the gentrified inner city where people wait on the path for their coffee is a bit reminiscent (to a lesser degree) of the "stoop coffee" idea. That experience in the suburbs only really exists through your children (i.e. via schools and sports clubs) and doesn't exist much for child-free people.

With growing high density development near train stations in the suburbs, there is a bit more of this experience further from the city center. However it is really limited to a few square kilometers of urbanism and apartment living that then gives way to endless free standing houses and car dependent suburbia.

The classified community is one built on trust -- fundamentally that you won't leak information to others, perceived enemies or otherwise. This extends to elected or appointed officials and federal judges ruling on classified matters.

But honestly most of the people in the group will be loyal to the US regardless of leader's political affiliation.

But what they do ask is that classified information remain secret -- particularly if you're in harms way.
Yeah but none of the thinkers you listed came close to saying something as radical "the first shall be last and the last shall be first".

> Their robber baron behavior reveals their true values and the reality of capitalism.

This is rather reductionist… By your same logic I could say that Stalin and Mao revealed the true values and reality of communism.

Let’s not elaborate on it further though and just leave this as a simple argument. Free market capitalism has led us to the most prosperous, peaceful, and advanced society humanity has ever ventured to create. Communism threatened that prosperity and peace with atrocities on a scale that exists beyond human comprehension. Capitalism, even with all of its faults, is the obvious choice.
The article isn’t disallowing you…
Still sounds a bit like we've seen it all already – dynamic linking introduced a lot of ways for software that wasn't buggy today to become buggy tomorrow. And Chrome uses an absurd amount of computing power (its bare minimum is many multiples of what was once a top-of-the-line, expensive PC).

I think these arguments would've been valid a decade ago for a lot of things we use today. And I'm not saying the classical software way of things needs to go away or even diminish, but I do think there are unique human-computer interactions to be had when the "VM" is in fact a deep neural network with very strong intelligence capabilities, and the input/output is essentially keyboard & mouse / video+audio.
What about the fact that software is hosted on US/German/Australian/whatever else platforms and infrastructure, what's different with that, technically speaking? The fact that a majority of software we rely on is hosted on GitHub, isn't that scary the same way that a repo owned by someone in a other country is scary?

Does a government need to openly act in a specific way for there to be a risk, or is this perceived risk due to a media bias?

I'm genuinely curious if there's a good answer

Generally, surburbs are better at encouraging walking/cycling around (since there's very little traffic), but worse at encouraging people to walk to commercial areas (since they're usually far away and the path there is unpleasant).

In my experience, you're far more likely to see kids biking/wandering around neighborhoods in the suburbs than in the city. This is the reason why people want things like cul-de-sacs, because eliminating through traffic means that people are able to use the area much more freely without having to worry about cars.
Btop variants, glances, why should I move from htop?
And? why isn't everyone writing every softawre in assembly if there's no "fundamental impedement" to doing so.

The answer is that its more ergonomic and easier to reason about. So while you can TECHNICALLY have "algebraic data types" in C i.e. "its just a tagged union so whats the big deal?" I prefer to use them in Rust than C, for whatever unknown reason...

I also don't want to spend my brain cells thinking about pointer provenance and which void* aliases with each other. I would rather spend it on something else, thank you very much.
Meh, the only litmus test is whether something is high enough quality for you at the price you paid. Nothing about Whitins seems particularly low quality to me running 10km/day.

Especially in the shoe market, just because you pay more doesn't mean you're getting higher quality. Brands are just showrooms for shoe factories in Bangladesh.

I'm so tired of being price discriminated for wanting wider shoes, so I'm not about to feel bad for paying $40 for shoes that cater to me. Whitin is the equivalent of going to the Adidas outlet shop and paying $40 for decent shoes.
I would at least like to have a degree of some sort, even if it's computer science

If you just want to get an accredited computer science degree in the shortest possible time, and are willing to work hard, WGU (Western Governors University) is a good option.

You pay per semester rather than per course, so the faster you do it, the cheaper it is.

Miguel described how to do it here: https://miguelrochefort.com/blog/cs-degree/

To maximize speed, do a bunch of prerequisites via Sophia or Study.com and transfer them in. Check beforehand which transfer credits WGU will accept.

There's lots of info on Reddit and YouTube about the most efficient way to do the prerequisites.

When I did my CS degree at WGU, I was 15 years older than you are now.

(I had a previous degree but in an unrelated field and from a foreign country, so the only transfers I was able to get were the ones for courses I did specially for this, on Sophia and Study.com)
Okay, finally got home and finished enough errands for now, here you go:

The python script with the short name is the entire script.

The text file with the medium length name is a log of a full run, which was successful on the first iteration and I gave it no additional feedback.

The python and text files with fdbk and iter in the name are created for each time the LLM makes and runs a new code attempt, the text file is the log of the output of the matching named python script. Iter is incremented for each time LLM self-retried, Fdbk is incremented each time the human gives additional input when the LLM thought it accomplished all goals.
> With LLMs advancing and may take over coding tasks, software engineers should focus on skills like selling, writing, and problem-solving.

You need to be a software engineer for longer if you think LLMs will take over more "coding" than writing.

But yes, communicating well and selling is crucial to maximize situations.
Agh, I understand why runes were implemented, but I still can't get myself to like them. It feels like Runes take away from what made Svelte Svelte (the simple, concise syntax), and changes like this seem like slow concessions back in that direction anyway.
Doh, that's entirely fair: haven't been in this thread yet, but would echo what I perceive as implicit puzzlement re: this amount of GPU time being described as bitter-lesson-y.
It’s already changed how I work in the last week that I discovered it.

I’ve used the Atlassian MCP to help organize my backlog and consolidate tickets into epics, and to leave comments on tickets based on summaries of commits, and even transition tickets to testing and reassign them.

I’ve used the GitHub MCP to write PR descriptions too.

I think once we start getting hybrid MCP + LSP servers (with debugging support), the editors will get even smarter.
In Haskell, when you define your own operators (including those that have the same name as those already defined in the standard library), you can specify your own types.

There's basically no operators defined 'by the language' in Haskell, they are all defined in the standard library.

(Of course, the standard library behaves as-if it defines eg (+) on integers in terms of some intrinsic introduced by the compiler.)
It could also be any number of other things too, like it's severe enough that the author feels its responsible to wait for mitigation efforts before disclosing anything about the issue that could lead to it being exploited.

>Why have a bunch of rules and policies that you do not follow yourself?

Because the goal is to keep risk to a reasonable level, not necessarily minimize it as much as possible.
You conveniently failed to acknowledge this link https://www.project2025.observer where people _have_ read the policy proposals, and wrote them up in a nice little list, and are tracking their implementation.

We're 79 days in, and 42% of the policy objectives outlined in the document are complete, with another 15% in progress. Over 50% of the objectives have been actioned within the first 100 days. I've seen general contractors execute on a blueprint slower than this administration.

For the political side of this, a good next step is to have a few peoples assemblies anyone can attend, where issues are voted on.

In my ideal world, these votes would be the "law" of the land. But currently, you'd have to send the results to whatever government is in power. What is and isn't allowed in a particular area should be decided by the local community.
