I will say, htop is a lot more efficient than GNU top, despite its functionality. I do not use it in the (default?) mode where it lists all the threads, because that is nuts.
That's not what I mean by standards. I mean standards in the sense of "No, I wouldn't date her, I have standards." not as in International Organization for Standardization.
I don't see why you have to be a jerk about this, just present your opinion and we can have a civil conversation.
> You guys in the States have it bad. I hear terrible stories about the fear that now surrounds any kind of freedom for kids. Over here in the UK we’re a bit better, but the “give them exams ALL the time” and schools being on their knees, financially, are all too familiar
Of course, this is all because of lies and locked-in unintended consequences. The schools have no practical reason to be on their knees financially, they are that way because of the politics of employing teachers.
There are school districts in the U.S. where it costs in excess of half a million dollars to successfully fire a provably-incompetent teacher or administrator. It is so expensive that many schools continue to pay full salary to teachers and administrators who only come in to work to prevent their firing. Some of these teachers and administrators are so useless or counter-productive that they are physically separated from the productive parts of the school.
The fact is that school funding has increased dramatically, considerably faster than the real costs of running a school; and the schools which receive the most funding are often near the bottom in performance.
Every time we see a school that actually works, people instantly jump to find some moralistic or social justice narrative to explain why we shouldn't make more schools like that. When charter schools do well, the public school unions and other fearmongers come out to complain that the executives live well, or that the students are cherry-picked (even when admissions are done by raffle!). They often do not qualify for the same compensation, and yet tend to greatly outperform public schools in the same jurisdictions.
A major problem in U.S. schools seems to be a lack of standards. They allow troublemakers to drag down entire classes, for fear that they may be seen as "excluding" that student. Meanwhile, a whole generation of otherwise-promising youth are increasingly illiterate, unfamiliar with civics, and generally incapable of living life in any productive capacity. Here in Canada, there's been a similar depressing turn for the worse, though in slower motion (as is often the case with things like this).
I personally think the U.S. and Canada have altogether too much childhood. Dating girls my age or younger (being in my early twenties), I often find myself cringing when I realize that the person I'm meeting has never done anything productive before, often never even one household chore, aside from their own laundry. I've been paying net taxes since the age of 17.
It is fine and in fact good to be attached to your family; but by the time you're free to agree to contracts, vote, and make other unilateral decisions for yourself, you should have had the experience of needing to do something productive, to take care of yourself or someone you love, or to make a decision with real consequences.
To be honest, JSON is pretty reasonable. The parsing speeds are very good, the grammar is a lot simpler than SMTP/HTTP/IMAP, it actually has numeric and boolean types.
It is no surprise to me that the two people here complaining that IMAP is somehow acceptable don't even use it.
JMAP solves real problems inherent with IMAP, particularly on clients that are not suitable for local archiving of messages (hence, ODMR/POP is not an option), and where IMAP sends considerably more data than the client actually uses (making it slow).
I don't like the use of JSON for local IPC, as is showing up in some systems, but for RPC over an unreliable network, JSON is more convenient than not.
As for the use of HTTP, it's not ideal in my view, and I tend to think it's overused. The one argument though, is that it allows JMAP to go over port 443 to a host that has an existing https service on that port (since you likely have a reverse proxy, probably NGINX, as your listener anyway) without having to send a bespoke upgrade request, which defeats the simplicity benefits of a custom protocol, since you have to implement HTTP to do the upgrade.
I know several people who lurk and post on /pol/, and it is an ethnically diverse group from my perspective. I've heard this sentiment echoed by others.
Of course, if you live in a very white place, you probably can't tell either way, even if you know a lot of channers.
Maybe there are a lot of unironic black and native-mixed neo-nazis, but I'm not so sure myself.
YouTube is no longer for funny short clips, it's not really set up for that.
I think YouTube could do more to expose people to more small channels (especially when you run out of videos from subscriptions if you are lucky enough that they will even deliver them to you).
> Can you provide an example of a dangling reference of any type (not just a UAF) being exploitable for RCE in a managed language like Java, Rust, or Go?
The point is that it doesn't matter what language is hosting the JIT. You can write this same bug in a program with a JIT hosted on the JVM, in a Rust program, or in a Go program. The code generated by the JIT is the equivalent of C FFI or an unsafe block, which completely ignores your "managed" language. V8 calls directly into and out of the JIT heap with a couple stubs a handful of instructions long, code in the JIT heap is whatever you generated, and can do whatever you told it to.
This is not a PR nightmare, it's a technical competitive nightmare. For many workloads, last-gen AMD server chips are now competitive with current-gen Intel server chips; and the current generation already had a lot in its favour. There's no amount of PR fluff that can save Intel from this, they can only release a new design with this fixed and hope they don't lose too much ground in the mean time.
The way I help myself with this is I set up different profiles in Chrome. My work one disables JavaScript, Cookies, and Images by default for every site; I enable them only for sites which I need for work. This way, when the reflex to "C-t h a RET" myself to Hacker News comes, I'm instead reminded not to.
Here's the link to the video on YouTube, I tried to load the linked page about 12 times and it failed each time, turns out the video is on YouTube anyway.
