Ring provides function-oriented cache interface for various backends. Cache is a popular concept widely spread on the broad range of computer science but its interface is not well developed yet. See Why Ring?

Over four weeks, the researchers developed fake pages and closed groups on Facebook that looked like they were associated with the military exercise, as well as profiles impersonating service members both real and imagined. The researchers also tracked down service members’ Instagram and Twitter accounts and searched for other information available online, some of which a bad actor might be able to exploit.

By the end of the exercise, the researchers identified 150 soldiers, found the locations of several battalions, tracked troop movements, and compelled service members to engage in “undesirable behavior,” including leaving their positions against orders.

The only noteworthy thing about the car was that Morris and Bell’s dog, Coby — a black Border collie with a false hip and a missing tooth — was in it, and so was a rather nice viola da gamba that Morris was looking after in his capacity as a rental program director of the Viola da Gamba Society of America. On Coby’s behalf, Morris left the car in the History Center garage with its doors locked but with the engine running and the air-conditioner on — a bit of animal husbandry that is not unheard of in Southern climates if you leave your dog in a parked car and don’t want to return to find him cooked. Morris and Bell were upset about losing the viola da gamba — it was a fine reproduction of a fifteenth-century instrument and worth thousands of dollars — and they were not happy about losing their car, but those were trifling concerns compared with how they felt about losing their dog.

This list is aimed at people who are used to Linux and are curious about OpenBSD. This cannot be understated: many people are attracted to OpenBSD in the first place because it’s much more minimal than Linux and even FreeBSD. Let’s jump to some of the not-so-nice ramifications of OpenBSD’s philosophy:

Most closed-source Linux software does not work: skype, slack, etc.

Today W3C and the WHATWG signed an agreement to collaborate on the development of a single version of the HTML and DOM specifications. The HTML Working Group which we will soon recharter will assist the W3C community in raising issues and proposing solutions for the HTML and DOM specifications, and bring WHATWG Review Drafts to Recommendation. Motivated by the belief that having two distinct HTML and DOM specifications claiming to be normative is generally harmful for the community, and the mutual desire to bring the work back together, W3C and WHATWG agree to the following terms:

W3C remains committed to ensuring that HTML development continues to take into account the needs of the global community, and continues to improve in areas such as accessibility, internationalization and privacy while providing greater interoperability, performance and security.

The following paragraph from The Farmer’s Dog by John Holmes describes this old type of dog in its homeland:

There are several other types of Collie quite distinct from the Border Collie. The result of such vanity has been genocidal for the Old Scotch Collie; in a few years it has become a rarity. I traced her ancestry back through her mother to a collie bitch, “Charlie-the-Wire’s dog,” and hence to a MacKinnon family at West Lake Ainslie.

The world by population density
Another way to understand how people are distributed across the world is to show the population density – the number of people per unit area – of each country on a geographical world map. World population from 10,000 BC to today
The chart below shows the the increasing number of people living on our planet over the last 12,000 years. This means that today’s population size makes up 6.5% of the total number of people ever born.1
For the long period from the appearance of modern Homo sapiens up to the starting point of this chart in 10,000 BCE it is estimated that the total world population was often well under one million.2 In this period our species was often seriously threatened by extinction.3

What’s striking about these early applications is that they had already worked out many of the features we associate with later browsers. No, Pei Wei didn’t play the viola, “it just happened to make a snappy abbreviation” of Visually Interactive Object-oriented Language and Application, write James Gillies and Robert Cailliau in their history of the World Wide Web. One of the most significant and innovative features of ViolaWWW was that it allowed a developer to embed scripts and “applets” in the browser page.

Each time the test suite failed due to a flaky test we would assign the topic to the developer who originally wrote the test. If one would like guaranteed ordering then use:

This problem assumption can sometimes cause flaky tests, in some cases the tests themselves can be “good” but the underlying code works by fluke most of the time. It is a balancing act cause on one hand we want our application to be fast so we cache a lot of state and on the other hand we don’t want an unstable test suite or a test suite unable to catch regressions.
