A rogue AP could then trick devices into breaking regulations :)

This talk explored a bit that idea, you could have a (full) programming language which is more like SQL so you get good enough datastructures (and indexing- without manual tuning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gC295d3V9gE

That's what I expected from the title, use properties of the banana to extract 'random numbers', and provide new bananas to get a pool.

The questions in the article are not too related to 'what are your lives for'. I'd argue that since we made up that question, we are responsible to answer it. So there may be as many answers as there are people (but less, ess

I've been using jurigged [0] for hot code reloading which is great. It works by replacing code objects in place at the function level which naturally handles many cases like applying to existing objects, avoiding loading a module multi

Doesn't Bazel do exactly that with their Starlark language based on Python? https://bazel.build/rules/language#mutability

I'm referring to this cryptographic property: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deniable_authentication which means that once a message is received you cannot re-authenticate it, so evidence on any device is no better

I think Signal provides deniable authentication, i.e. you can forge messages which cannot be distinguished from a real conversations. I wonder if it has any impact legally speaking, but I guess it would not matter unless there's eviden

Podman supports running systemd units inside containers: https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2019/04/24/how-to-run-sys... One process per container is indeed strange in a lot of use cases, you lose the se

You could also restrict the allowed XML so it can be parsed/generated without a full parser.

The Tcl wiki is quite strange, it has interesting content but most pages are discussions like this one and it's hard to find what's relevant or even correct. What's weird about the Tcl syntax is that there is barely any. It&#

Ah yes that's cool, they mention even the Python extension can run client-side.

It seems to be like Theia https://theia-ide.org/ which is based on vscode and runs in the browser. It's used by this project to give a full lab/workspace and ide in the cloud: https://www.eclipse.org&#x2

Pretty much yes, I also switched from Arch and this works great for me. I only had issues a couple times with broken packages, then you can either not update at all or remove those packages. It should also be possible to keep the older vers

You can use the unstable branch for rolling releases closer to how arch works.

To me she is referring to what she says previously: > Also, systems might seem automated but when we pull away the curtain we see large amounts of low paid labour, everything from crowd work categorising data to the never-ending toil of

What's often missing from these discussions is that the trade off in the CAP theorem can change across the system and over time. If you have a cache on your client, you're trading off consistency for availability, same if you do a

AFAIK criu does something like what you describe, similarly to taking VM snapshots but for processes or containers: https://criu.org/Main_Page

Europe imposed a standard for phone chargers and thanks to that you don't need a different charger per brand, or even per model, like it was 15 years ago. AFAIK they did not specify the exact standard, except that it has to be some com

From the article: > TS It's certainly the case that a lot of CRDTs are really complicated, especially in those instances where they represent some sort of complex interrelated state. A classic example would be the CRDTs used for doc

You forgot the one made by Microsoft, Pyright (and PyLance).

Indeed that's what I try to advocate. Of course it's not always easy to know if something should be a hard assertion or not until you hit a failure, which is where I think some framework support to run it in a 'soft-assertion

by tracnar 6y ago
I agree, but the tests are in the order of minutes (sometimes hours), not your typical unit tests. That's basically why it uses soft assertions, it's costly to run. Ideally you'd still want tests with a single assertion/

by tracnar 6y ago
We have a test environment with this taken to the extreme at work, i.e. integration tests where the whole codebase softly fails and continues whatever happens. IMO the drawbacks are worse than the upside of seeing more errors. Now one error

This could go one step further by implementing an import hook, then you could do import users; users.get_all_users(conn) It's something I've been meaning to try with other languages.

While I would tend to agree, it's now already pretty much phone/touch ready, so it might as well make use of it. I feel like Gnome's UI is finally getting some consistency after having a lot of random changes from version to

by tracnar 6y ago
This is what I hoped the Ubuntu Phone would be: a full-featured Linux distribution running on a phone! It also suffers from not capturing the Android app ecosystem, but at least it might drive Gnome to get responsive/phone-ready apps.

Most banks use their own card reader which you can use to authorize/sign a payment, I never had to use SMS for this.

There's an example in this talk: https://youtu.be/gCWtkvDQ2ZI?t=1903 Basically you can quote code (like in Lisp) and pass it to an executor (thread, remote server, ...). The main difference is that thanks to the immuta
