That's exactly the same analogy I used to use, although I said "nuclear reactor included" - spaceship is better, it implies less danger and more expanded horizons!
You're still not explaining how the DSA is supposedly a negotiating tactic from the EU any more than you could say that about GDPR. It's a new legal framewo tackling a relatively new set of problems. If any of them get watered down because of deals with the US, then you could make that sort of claim.
> Anyhow, we've unofficially signalled we are leaving the responsibility of Europe's defenses to Europe by 2027 [6] - meaning member states have no choice but to end up buying American gear or completely vacillate to Russia on Ukraine.
Or just buying from the existing European providers? Most American gear has a (sometimes better, cf. all the stuff even the US buys from European companies) European based equivalent. The only major exception is the F-35, but at least one 6th gen European jet is in the works, and unless fighting with the US, an 5th gen stealth fighter isn't really that needed. European manufacturers need to increase output, and they have been working on it and have done so quite a lot already.
Just before I stopped using Mathematica they came out with that headless kernel, and I had wondered if you could spin it up on a Kubernetes cluster or something.
If it is satire, it's very good. They pointed out exactly how their proposed dystopia is logically consistent with policies that already exist.
Withholding autonomy from anyone with a diagnosed mental/neurodevelopmental disorder or an IQ below 100 is the natural conclusion of banning drugs, alcohol, or prostitution. It's all the product of a mindset which presumes that adults aren't sufficiently competent to make their own personal life decisions, and need to be forced into the correct decisions through threats of violence.
I quite like Sage. Python is a much better language than Wolfram (yes, he named it after himself...). In Wolfram, there is no real scoping (even different notebooks share all variables, Module[] is incredibly clumsy), no real control flow (If[] is just a function), and no real error handling. When Wolfram encounters an exception, it just prints a red message and keeps chugging along with the output of the error'd function being replaced by a symbolic expression. This usually leads to pages and pages of gibberish and/or crashes the kernel (which for some reason is quite difficult to interrupt or restart). Together with the notebook format and the laughable debugger, this makes finding errors extremely frustrating.
The notebooks are also difficult to version control (unreadable diffs for minor changes), and unit testing is clearly just an afterthought. Also the GUI performance is bad. Put more than a hand full of plots on a page, and everything slows to a crawl. What keeps me coming back is the comprehensive function library, and the formula inputs. I find it quite difficult to spot mistakes in mathematical expressions written in Python syntax.
"Idempotency key" is a widely accepted term [1] for this concept; arguably, you could call it "Deduplication key" instead, but I think this ship has sailed.
if you read the entire reddit thread, OPs sisters name actually was Carol. That's why it wigged her out so much and triggered her schizophrenia to kick in I suppose.
The interesting aspect of the Cloudflare support, which is not clarified, is how they came to the risk assessment that it is ok to roll out a change non-gradual globally without testing the procedure first. The only justification I can see is that the React/Next.js remote command execution vulnerabilities are actively exploited. But if this is the case they should say so.
I worked with plenty of far-left people, some of whom justified openly during lunch a genocide against whites in South Africa. While I would have preferred not to hear this, I believe that they have the right to work in the same place as me.
Paraphrasing: We are setting aside the actual issue and looking for a different angle.
To me this reads as a form of misdirection, intentional or not. A monopolist has little reason to care about downstream effects, since customers have nowhere else to turn. Framing this as roll your own versus Cloudflare rather than as a monoculture CDN environment versus a diverse CDN ecosystem feels off.
That said, the core problem is not the monopoly itself but its enablers, the collective impulse to align with whatever the group is already doing, the desire to belong and appear to act the "right way", meaning in the way everyone else behaves. There are a gazillion ways of doing CDN, why are we not doing them? Why the focus on one single dominant player?
Terrible examples, Github and Google aren't just websites that one would place behind Cloudflare to try to improve their uptime (by caching, reducing load on the origin server, shielding from ddos attacks). They're their own big tech companies running complex services at a scale comparable to Cloudflare.
The power of the language came from the concise syntax (I liked it more then classical LISPs) with the huge library of Mathematica. When Python is "batteries included", Mathematica is "spaceship included".
If this was open sourced, it had the potential to severely change the software/IT industry. As an expensive proprietary software however, it is deemed to stay a niche product mainly for academia.
Hyperliquid being on chain in the traditional sense is fiction. You have a closed source piece of software run by closely controlled "validators" with additionally centralised components.
Last time I checked (~half a year ago) Garage didn't have a bunch of s3 features like object versioning and locking. Does RustFS have a list of s3 features they support?
One of the more interesting things about WL is that Stephen Wolfram is really a genuine daily user of the software his company makes and he's the final say on what ships and in what form. They used to livestream his meetings reviewing potential new features on Youtube, an interesting watch. It didn't make me want to work there but I did feel like he cared very much. Quite Jobsian, dare I say.
I built a NPM module that blocks most common supply-chain attack vectors (malicious dependency graphs, unexpected install hooks, tampered packages, etc.). It’s designed to run locally or in CI .
