Yes, but that didn't seem always to be the case when the British were hanging people overseas. George Orwell wrote an essay, A Hanging [1], about an execution that he witnessed while serving in Burma. The prisoner, and escort, have a walk of several minutes from the cell to the gallows outdoors. At one point, with 40 yards to go to the gallows, the party is disrupted by a large playful dog. He notes that after the disturbance, the prisoner steps to one side to avoid a puddle on the ground. Orwell writes:

"It is curious, but till that moment I had never realized what it means to destroy a healthy, conscious man. When I saw the prisoner step aside to avoid the puddle, I saw the mystery, the unspeakable wrongness, of cutting a life short when it is in full tide. This man was not dying, he was alive just as we were alive. All the organs of his body were working — bowels digesting food, skin renewing itself, nails growing, tissues forming — all toiling away in solemn foolery. His nails would still be growing when he stood on the drop, when he was falling through the air with a tenth of a second to live. His eyes saw the yellow gravel and the grey walls, and his brain still remembered, foresaw, reasoned — reasoned even about puddles. He and we were a party of men walking together, seeing, hearing, feeling, understanding the same world; and in two minutes, with a sudden snap, one of us would be gone — one mind less, one world less.

It's powerful stuff, whatever your thoughts on capital punishment.

> But this is strange, because if it was true, everyone would just stop paying them, they don't literally hold anyone at gunpoint.

In a world where scientists careers didn't depend on publications, you'd be right.
In legal terms "dumping" is only applicable to imports. There's generally nothing illegal about delivering a local service at a loss, except in limited cases when one company has an effective monopoly and uses that pricing to drive out competitors. For now the food delivery market is still highly competitive.
Does it support maildir? Also, last time I used nmh it all sorts of issues with weird mail.

I'm not sure I trust it security wise.
I think certain French revolutionaries found a more clear-cut solution a long time ago.

(Personally, I find the death sentence in any form barbaric, given how it nullifies any form of recourse in cases of wrongful conviction. It might however be an agreeable option to offer "voluntary execution" of some form: allow inmates convicted for life an alternative to using bedsheets in ways they weren't intended for. What a depressing topic, this.)
Yeah, I get it. I think plastic cases are going to be a tough sell for a company looking to be environmentally friendly. :)

You're also not in the majority, but as I stated, I'd prefer a non-metal looking laptop. I've got a Razer Blade Stealth 13 which I had to put a skin on because it's a fingerprint magnet. Skins really aren't that bad, and they're designed to not block the vents.
> To the absolute limit of our ability to measure it — and our ability to measure it is really good, since we used electromagnets and lasers and other expensive science things — when an object is dropped, it begins falling instantaneously. Not after a very small interval of time, but absolutely instantaneously. As in zero time elapses between dropping and falling.

> This is fairly earthshaking, really. Because it implies that somehow a "signal" of some kind is getting from the ground to Wile E. faster than the speed of light. Which is supposed to be impossible.

I don't know a lot about physics and relativity but this actually seems to me how I'd expect it to be. I don't understand why people expect that there has to be an interaction before gravity starts, or that gravity is directed linearly between two masses (you and the earth). It's already being emitted, and you're stepping out off the cliff into a gravity wave that is already there. You're always in that wave. Now the thing beneath you preventing you from being pulled in is gone. No initial setup was required.

Imagine the same example with a light beam instead of gravity. At the foot of the cliff is a ball as bright as the surface of the sun, radiating light in every which way. If you step off the cliff, it doesn't take a few nanoseconds for the light to hit you, because you're stepping into a lightbeam that is already there. No interaction is necessary to set it up.

I dunno. This seems like the intuitive way to think about it to me. Anything else would seem strange. Maybe I'm misunderstanding?
So, a few things.

1) no indication that there's any rate limiting here beyond a 2 second cooldown (thanks for that, grenoire), but I only tested it using burp intruder community edition, and I only tested it on a set of numbers guaranteed to return false. If anyone wants to test a range with a known-leaked number in it, up to you.

2) it's very possible that if there is rate limiting, it acts invisibly.

But if there's no rate limiting as I suspect, someone can easily just iterate through this data set and extract every number (well, until cloudflare trips the requests). Alternatively, someone can request a large set of numbers that includes their own in order to fuzz the range their own number is in.
This describes Trumpism to a T, thanks.

> Put a tablespoon of sugar next to your coffee next time you have a chance and seriously consider if that’s a decision that’s “made for humans.”

I sometimes do put a tablespoon of sugar in my coffee. Am I weird? I'm under no impression that it's equivalent to eating a celery and ten pushups, but I'm also not under the impression that it's equivalent to eating deep-fried ice cream, either.

It looks like a packet of sugar is roughly a teaspoon (or 1/3 tablespoon) of sugar, and asking for two packets of sugar with your coffee is pretty common around here. Is three so far beyond the pale?

Eco-fascism! I mean, once you're willing to murder people to reduce carbon emissions, there are simpler ways to do it. But make sure you've got suitable carbon offsets for the invasion and the crematoriums.

Fortunatley, I've only had one malware infection amongst friends and family, and it was on the Amiga -- where I'd inadvertantly infected my neighborhood with an infected disk. Felt like a jerk.

I ran w/o any virus protection until about 2005 on a PC and never got any malware. Lucky? Maybe, but I see so little malware amongst "my users" that I wonder where the ruckus comes from. In any case, I do now have everyone on MS Security Essentials.

ChromeOS doesn't complicate page setup, but it printing. With printing you need to have a "server" computer hooked up to the printer. Now there are issues around the other computer being turned on, and diagnosing issues at the host computer rather than at the machine their doing the print job from. Basically take every problem you have today, but then add another computer in the middle.

I've been writing literate programs for years

Here is a video showing a literate form of Clojure:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDlzE9yy1mk

The literate program creates a new PDF and a working version of Clojure, including running a test suite. If you change the literate code and type 'make' it re-makes the PDF with the new changes and rebuilds/retests Clojure.

and here is the source:

Blazor has two modes, one is based on client-server round trips to talk with managed code on the server, the other runs everything on the client using WebAssembly
I have a machine of similar vintage (A Kaypro 2/84), and I would highly recommend getting a copy of Turbo Pascal 3 to play around with. It looks like the Osborne has 4KB of video RAM - I bet you could make some fun demos for it.

I managed to get fairly high video performance by doing some careful register fiddling of the CRT controller chip: http://www.chrisfenton.com/exploring-kaypro-video-performanc...
If you look around you will start noticing it. A babies skull isn't even fused and has soft spots (fontanelle) so it makes perfect sense that it can be shaped and molded as it develops and grows.
Most of the services you use on the internet are centralized, but the internet itself isn't. Anyone can host a server anyone else can theoretically access so long as there is a path along which to connect and the user knows the address. Portions of the internet's infrastructure can be cut off from the rest by a sufficiently powerful entity, and most people use the same few DNS servers, but no one controls the whole thing. Internet 1.0 is still running under the surface.
Perhaps when even your own subsidiaries are telling you it's time to stop, on presumable pain of termination, it's time to actually stop.

This is villain behavior.

> Separately, configure your backends to not spit out secret info in production mode and you should not have to actually worry about this

It's not really about secrets. That's just the example from the article. (Although, that can happen if the backend is communicating authorisation-to-serve to a cache.)

You may be using X-Accel-Redirect: https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/examples/x... Or any of the other built-in X-Accel response headers that are automatically offered by proxy module: https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#pr...

It's fairly common to use X-Accel-Redirect to have the backend tell NginX to serve a file. With a malformed request, NginX will serve the header instead of the file, revealing your internal filesystem structure to the client. Often that structure has hashes and versions in the paths. Even without those, it can be quite revealing. That's not a badly designed backend; this feature is useful and intentional.

Having that pass through without being processed is a security fail of NginX, and they should at least document it. Better, provide an option to never blindly forward in these cases, or some "if" variable to let the admin configure what they want done.

After learning about this, I expect there are plenty of sites out there which will reveal their X-Accel-Redirect paths if you ask them like this, though I can't be bothered to go looking.

If I leave a job in SF, I can have a new job within days. I am not sure the same can be said about other regions. Yes, its ridiculously expensive here, but I know I will have a job.

I'm originally from Michigan, and have lived in Houston, Boston, and Ft. Lauderdale. I can safely say that the "cheaper" places were a huge PITA to find a good job in. Especially if I didn't want to deal with office politics, puritanical dress codes, or other stupid bullshit.

And fwiw, I've worked with Startups, Hospitals, Banks, Researchers, and Factories. There are definitely bonuses to living in a cheap & small town. But unless you are able to work remotely you will likely have to "settle" for a job.
If you mean they have signed contract to not sell CPU on the open market, that's interesting.
It would be quite the coincidence if they added mostly to one side too. The expectation is that they add up to something similar to what we have now, more similar as more areas change... That is, if the risks were independent.

That said, the risk are not independent, thus talking about probabilities (and coincidences) is foolish.

Seven Languages in Seven Weeks: A Pragmatic Guide to Learning Programming Languages. Bruce A. Tate
Interesting question! A quick Google search for "predictors of interestingness" shows that several studies were made to see what makes something interesting, and on different areas. For example, what makes a piece of text interesting, what makes a picture interesting, what makes a song interesting, etc...

Now, interesting is different than "like", which is different than passion or love, which are all different than studying for school or work, or an obligation.

But anyway, a very good question, you gave me inspiration to delve on this topic and come up with lots of different approaches to determine what people will thing it's interesting.

Yea, I agree the guy is pro-Python. Looking at it from a cultural perspective though, I think the article is dead on. Python people seem more straight-forward/pragmatic with less awe for "magic" than Rubyists. Ruby does seem to be more spiritual (pagan) - with more easy-going syntax.

Proof of authenticity, whether being digital or not, doesn't mean anything until

1) the culture of the general people around you support it, or

2) there is an entity with political power (such as the state) that forcefully protects that authenticity through law/police/the military/etc (for example, intellectual property supported by law enforcement).

But firstly I think NFTs are totally antitheical to the current culture of the Internet era, where it is given without question that data can be freely copied and shared (regardless of the countless efforts by DRM technologies), and virality and mass transmission is regarded as an important communal cultural value. Who cares if someone "owns" the Nyan Cat meme, when you can freely Google it and view it on your smartphone, and can also save it to your hard drive if you want to preserve it? And I really don't think state power is really supportive of general crypto right now, so number two is off from the start. The problem I have with NFTs (and cryptocurrenties in general) isn't about the technology, it's more about the culture surrounding it.

(Also, think the blockchain is permanent, because it's supported by "math"? If the infrastructure surrounding Ethereum vanishes, your piece of NFT is essentially gone. And Ethereum's consuming a hell of a lot of energy and infrastructure to maintain, and you might start to think backing it up in a few hard drives is the easier and saner option...)
Why not just get a 13" MBA, then sell it in a year if the M2 is worth it? The 13" MBA isn't heavy like the 14" model, it's relatively cheap for being significantly more responsive than the Intel 13" MBPs, and it will preserve most of its resale value.

Hardware limitation on the RunCam 5 Orange: https://shop.runcam.com/runcam-5-orange/

It can do 4k30 or 2.7k60 - but it’s also 56g, and durable enough that I “recovered” it from the top of a metal building a few days ago by knocking it down with a quadcopter and letting it fall 12’ onto pavement.

Tradeoffs have to be made somewhere :)

I mostly use it for hobby stuff. While I can record on my goggles, the image quality is extremely poor and completely unsuitable for any real use. This is what I see while flying: https://youtu.be/xywVVS8eLSw

It looks quite a bit better in the moment, and on a screen that’s optimized for it. I use a Skyzone 04X, which was 1280x960 OLED screens with a 46º field of view. You can’t really get much better for analog video at the moment in this form factor. There are a couple of digital options (DJI and SharkByte), but I don’t want to spend the money on those until I feel like the technology has matured a bit more and I’m not going to need to spend another $500+ on goggles and ~$80 per airframe to upgrade. The RunCam 5 Orange gives me the ability to make videos for sharing with others and is “good enough” for some light commercial work.

In addition to flying FPV as a hobby, I have my FAA 107 certificate and do some photography/videography as a side hustle. I use an Autel Evo 2 Pro for that most of the time, which is capable of 6k30/4k60 and is stupid good for night photography. I occasionally mix in some video from my FPV quads if the situation calls for it. I rarely need to produce output that’s over 1080p, and 30fps is pretty standard there. If I were doing more interior fly-through and such, I’d pick up a more capable camera for that purpose. I’d still want the RunCam though, because of its balance of weight and durability.
And these seem to be delayed based on a few early 2022 reports, citing one [1]

The biggest misconception about SEO is that its intent is to be spammy. SEO is in fact directed towards more effective communication with search engines. Using web analytics, and intelligence we optimize content to be more direct towards users, and search engines by using keywords etc that users are searching for. We're basically improving communications just like quality CRM does only with search engines, and users. Link farms are highly transparent and easily flagged by Google. They have extremely sophisticated algorithms to determine who the spammers are.

When I worked at Oracle I saw a good amount of this -- people whose jobs seemed to be nothing but stirring up trouble and looking busy while accomplishing little or nothing. Oracle could afford that, but no company should afford it.

That's why I prefer somewhat smaller companies and startups -- you cannot get away with it. I'm not a "thou must work hard for its own sake" Puritan-ethic kind of guy, not at all. But I like actually accomplishing things, like many others here, and so the "corporate welfare" types bother me, and tend to get in the way.

[edit]: During my tenure at Oracle, I once caught wind of a Blue Ribbon Panel whose mission it was to appoint members to a Task Force, and the mission of the Task Force was to appoint members of a Tiger Team. Sounds like it's right out of Office Space, but it was real life.
