Having an interface to edit the blog content is great for us devs who would like to involve non-technical people in the copywriting.

However, I'm wondering about the fit of your solution to your target audience: jekyll users are developers, and use an open source solution they can control and customize.

Why would they want to add a closed-source hosted piece on top of it? Personally it's a no-go for me.

I could understand "checking under the bed" to calm the patient's nerves from a purely consequentialist standpoint, but legitimately saying "I don't know, could be demons" is A: saying nothing at all as it could be anything currently unexplainable and B: lending too much credence to a specific unverifiable "cause". As others have said, demons of the gaps. It's not an intelligent position and not particularly interesting.

I wish we could all just get to a point where we answer "I don't know" with "We'll find out" instead of "<Popular mythology>!"
I don't agree with the article at all.

Chrome is being completely honest with the user. If a youtube extension asks permission to "read data from all websites" you must ask yourself and the developer why it needs access to all websites and not just youtube. A good extension must enumerate all the permissions it demands and give good reasons why it needs each of them. If an extension seeks new permissions, then consent must be sought from the user before update . This is obviously the correct approach(How it affects the extension developer's revenue\user-adoption is unimportant). Chrome's model is comparable to the security model of Android and iOS. Sure its not perfect, But its much better than the firefox model which is comparable to Windows 98.

Also i don't understand the whole shifting of responsibility jibe. Does Mozilla review every extension and every update in their store? Do they accept responsibility if malicious code is downloaded from their store?

To conclude , i would like firefox's stringent app review process and chrome's fine-grained permissions and sandbox model.

Edit: I want to point out that this article is really looking after the interests of the developer, and not after the interests of the user.

Edit 2 : Also to add: Sandboxing is simply good security practice. Even if the author is not malicious, but in case an extension is exploited due to a bug, the damage done by a well-sandboxed extension is limited by the permissions granted. In firefox such an exploit could hoover all your data, credit card info & passwords from all your websites and data from you harddrive as well.
Let's assume that demons exist, capable of taking over human minds, and that they also have superhuman perceptive and reasoning abilities. With sufficient abilities, they could reliably avoid detection if they wanted to... but why would they? Why is it so important to them that they not fall under scientific scrutiny?

No, frickin' duh. If you want to skim materials, go ahead and skim. But if you need to understand something, want to enjoy reading something, or need to remember the details from something, you have to read at a "normal" speed instead of skimming.

If you find yourself immersed in a lot of material that is so vapid, uninteresting, and inconsequential that you can simply skim all of it with no negative consequences, I'd suggest that perhaps you have some life choices to re-examine.

Ad #1: yes, wolfram gloger.

Ad #2: ptmalloc3 biggest advantage over dlmalloc 2.8.3 is for multiple threads, while trying to avoid lockcontention as much as possible.
But it also has e.g. a better API to support slabs and array or struct elements via independent_comalloc(), which speeds up my compiled code by 20%. You can alloc your elements in once and still individually free them.

See the malloc-2.8.3.h header: https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qt.git/tree/src/3rdparty/ptmalloc...

Ad #3: memory usage. ptmalloc2 has the least overhead. In my case with lots of arrays which can be independent_comalloc'ed this is not observable.

I've been a professional recording engineer for 20 years. The phenomena I'm discussing is an objectively true, subjective perceptual effect, it doesn't change based on how long you've been recording. Over time you learn to expect it, but it doesn't go away. A lot of audio engineering involves working around the heavy real time signal processing our brain is always doing.

That's interesting about animals. It seems likely that their auditory systems would be tuned for the type of stimuli that are vital for their survival. There would be a lot of overlap, but since it's hard to tell their subjective experience, it would take some clever testing to see how their perception of recorded sound would differ.

> Chrome is being completely honest with the user.

The article is not advocating otherwise.

A lot of extensions need that permission, even though they only need it to do something much more specific. Adblock uses it to read (but not transmit) your webpages, and remove sections. Password managers use it to scan (but not transmit) webpage content, and fill certain form fields.

If there is a review process (which Firefox already has in place), then you can actually give out permissions like this. You can ensure that the data read from the webpage is never sent to the server, and useful things like that.

I believe the proposal for webextensions in Firefox is to have certain kinds of extensions get auto-approved, the ones which need simple, sandboxable permissions (not "read all my webpages"). Extensions that need more permissions will need review, and they can request semantic permissions instead of just "give me all your data and trust I don't do anything bad with it", which is bad and has already lead to issues in the past where a Chrome extension developer sells their extension which is then used to transmit malware.

> To conclude , i would like firefox's stringent app review process and chrome's fine-grained permissions and sandbox model.

The article is proposing finer grained permissions than Chrome.
These courses will provide you a good theoretical background, which may not be enough to crack the interview problems. You might wanna look at some of the programming problems on Hackerrank, Codejam etc to bridge the gap between the theory and the implementation.
Is it feasible to use dragonfly bsd for small-medium sized sites? I am currently using netbsd for my servers.
> Have they looked at other permissions models?

I believe that's the idea. To make the permissions more finer grained. However, that crosses the line of what can be automatically enforced by sandboxing -- chrome's permissions model is defined by what they can restrict via software. To make it more finer-grained, you need a review process, which Firefox has.
This is a very irrational and stupid stand point. This psychiatrist may have studied and described a new type of mental illness. Why would you want to censor such study and prevent this scientist to do any psychiatrist work ?

For what reason ? Because the phenomenon is referred to as demonic posession and you don't BELIEVE in that ? First there is no way to prove that demonic posession doesn't exist, so your judgment is based on a pure belief. Second we must make a clear separation between the facts and their interpretation. Your reaction is obviously motivated by the reject of the interpretation. There are a priori many other possible interpretations of the facts. No one could have tested the validity of the interpretation because the existence and properties of demons is still UNKNOWN and this means there is no way we can test if anything could be a daemon manifestation or is not a daemon manifestation.

What you request is censoring and by that you prone obscurantism. That is anti-scientific and it would be a regression.

In face of such report or data, the only valid attitude should be to first verify as much as possible the reality of facts. we should leave on the side the interpretation of the facts in this step to avoid falling in a confirmation bias.

My feeling is that referring to these facts as demonic posession was a strategic mistake of the author. But that, in itself, can't justify to ban this person of any psychiatric activity.

To conclude I would say that scientific rationality and objectivity is apparently is a poor state.
That is true! It was a bug - fixed now.

Personally, I've never seen the appeal of Hackintoshes.

The primary reason for using a Mac is that you get a unix-like environment, which works without having to piss around with drivers and compatibility. Macbooks also have the advantage of having very nice design and battery life.

A hackintosh takes away the only advantage macOS has over Linux, in my opinion. You now have the same OS, which is more closed and harder to change to suit your needs than Linux, and you will have the same driver problems that Linux users face.

Oh yeah, because we were otherwise going to drink the river... or maybe it disappears when it is used in agriculture. Except it doesn't. Water is the most recyclable resource there is.

>carbon output from food production has increased by 47 percent from 2000 to 2012 — that’s an increase of 150 million tons of carbon dioxide

Except carbon that is emitted to the atmosphere doesn't stay there. It's called carbon cycle. If we are producing more meat, we will also have to produce more food for the animals... which comes from plants... which take CO2 from the atmosphere to grow.

You're fooling nobody. Don't get into our kitchen.

Right, but the point is that saying "people used to pay $1" is misleading here. Besides, I would still complain if a meeting club required you to purchase a subscription to dozens of publications. Of course, it wouldn't have to, because people used to read news articles aloud and pass newspapers around, whereas now that's considered Theft.

There are established processes in place to create a new psychiatric diagnosis. This doctor is ignoring those processes.

And he is specifically excluding demonic possession from mental illness; that's the point of his article.
> the book is generally forbidden to be discussed in
> "polite" company

The problem with studies like this - and also ones that for example attempt to show race-linked differences in "positive factors" - is that they're pretty useless for anything other than the uneducated using as a blunt discrimination tool.

Let's say you live in a society where there are blue and green people. A study shows a genetic basis for a difference - on average across the whole population - where blue people are 10% less intelligent and 10% more violent.

What's next? Are you justified in preferring to hire green people? No. Are you justified in having greens-only policies? Of course not, that's not how averages work. Is there any basis for any kind of segregation? Any basis for any color-based policies? No.

But you can be sure that there will be green people trying to use these studies to show themselves as superior, as a basis for discrimination, for popularist politics, and all the other associated bullshit.

It's precisely because there's almost no practical use for studies like these, but they are absolutely pounced upon by racists and opportunists, that they're 'generally forbidden to be discussed in "polite" company'.
Nice, I would love to contribute!
This is great! I have a bit of feedback though:

- Does it really need access to my private repos too? I don't get to only let it see public repos? There's a reason some of my repos are private, and I don't really feel comfortable letting a third-party accessing them.

- It's a bit weird that my posts are listed in reverse chronological order.

- Having a way do add a description and required formatting (string, date, int...) to the different YAML Frontmatter fields would be great. Prose.io supports this, for instance, and I think that this is hugely important for non-technical users.

- Why don't I get to see and/or edit the date of my posts?

I really wish Apple would relax the restrictions on where you can install macOS. I understand that they don't want to commit the resources to support running macOS on any arbitrary number of hardware combinations out there today for physical machines, but as far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be any technical grounds for restricting its use in VMs outside of macOS hosts (please correct me if I'm mistaken).
Nice! I'll follow it and try to help as I can.
console frame buffer font is just a fancy way of saying pixel font.

console means that it is to be used with a console [1] or terminal emulator[2]. Traditionally terminal emulators used bitmap fonts, but modern versions support vector fonts as well. frame buffer [3] just means that it is a bitmap font like the ones used in traditional frame buffer consoles.

We have an extensive scientific picture of the world we live in, and it's verified and validated by a huge number of experiments. This picture doesn't have any place for anything supernatural. You can't fit demons into physics and biology, as you can't fit a bull into a china shop. If you want to think that demons can exist, you have to abandon science. You can't sit on two chairs.

It's not about censorship, it's about ability to pass a simplest reality check. I don't want to have any doctors or engineers around me who don't pass this check.

My 2600k died recently after 5 years @ 5 GHz.

I think Intel desktop CPUs are overpriced and do not offer some important features (ECC). Haswell Xeons are pretty cheap, only downside is lack of NVMe and higher electricity bill.

- dual CPU motherboard

- 256GB ECC DDR2 RAM
The article does make a good point regarding warning fatigue, which was one of the main reasons why Android is moving towards a permission system similar to what iOS does, i.e. ask for permission only when needed, and degrade gracefully if the permission is not granted. The previous system of showing a gigantic list of required permissions probably caused most users to a) blindly accept the permissions or b) not install some apps out of fear.

That model is probably not that good a fit for browser extensions. There might be a couple of permissions where this would work, but the biggest issue is definitely the "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit." permission, and that's not really something you could work around with using on-demand prompts. The idea of combining code reviews with an explanation of the required permissions provided by the developer and vetted by the reviewers sounds interesting, but it's not clear to me whether a model like that would work in practice.
by usually I meant that is usually how it is defined. Of course it is always true that it is that value, I just meant, like, what description of the value is used to define what value we mean. I was unclear on that part. I meant that I think that in most cases, pi = circumference / diameter is the definition of pi, rather than pi being defined in some other way, and it being proven as a theorem that pi = circumference / diameter.

Like, suppose I defined pi as sqrt(6*Zeta(2)) , this would still be the same value, so it would work as a definition of pi, but I don't think it is often defined in a way like this.

I think I mostly wrote ^ because I felt like the way I worded my previous comment could be misinterpreted in a way that I feel would make me look dumb, so I wanted to clarify what I actually meant.

Your point about considering it in polar coordinates seems like a good explanation. I hadn't thought of that, I like it, thank you for that. I don't yet see how to make that rigorous, but it sounds like it makes sense in a nice way. Thank you.
The only actual restriction they have is DSMOS. Other than that, the rest of restrictions are just because of their own implementation of things like EFI, etc

Just by using the Clover bootloader + FakeSMC.kext (to bypass DSMOS) you can boot... if your system is supported. You can't blame them for not making drivers for everything, taking into account they control the hardware they sell.
