This is really cool, and I just discovered sentry.io because of it which is something that we have wanted but hadn't yet put the time into finding.
I think we should fight greenhouse emissions as much as possible, but at the same time we should be realistic and plan accordingly. We should have a disaster plan (how to we move everybody to cities that won't be flooded, any nuclear plants on the coast to take care of? etc.) and a geo-engineering plan (can we capture this CO2 in some way?) and... a space exploration plan.

There is no reason for blocks that have been fully rewritten to be written back to the same location. In fact, it is faster to write them somewhere convenient near the write head and update the indirect block. So even though only the meta data goes through the log, block locations can change.
What sorts of barriers to entry? Purely the fact that there is a lot of noise vs. signal in terms of low-grade operators? Or is it more to do with learning the requisite skills?
Over the last 9 months or so I have slowly moved from never blogging, releasing videos, or doing anything like that to fairly consistently releasing educational articles related to Go at https://www.calhoun.io , writing a book (+ videos for a complete course) teaching web development with Go, and releasing a few screencasts teaching algorithms with Go.

I say all that to tell you that I didn't just magically start writing every day. I started slowly. Some days I was too worn out to write, but I would try to push myself to spend 10m doing SOMETHING nearly every day.

Maybe that was writing up some quick code to see if it would make an interesting article, or maybe I would take an article idea and turn it into a rough outline, or maybe I would turn a small section of the outline into sentences and paragraphs. It didn't matter as long as I tried to build that habit of doing something.

At first it was hard but it got way easier. And 10m a day really isn't a big commitment.

As you figure out your own process you will find there are many small pieces you can work on each day that slowly help you turn whatever you want to do into a habit.

So my advice is to start with small goals that you can achieve and build on them. Maybe instead of one video a week you should try one every two weeks. If you get an extra video out, great, but if you don't you won't feel like you failed.

And regardless of what you do, don't feel like you have to do something. There are several great blogs out there that aren't regular but only have articles pop up when the author feels particularly inspired. That is okay too. A regular schedule helps build an audience but it def isn't necessary.
Ah that makes more sense.

Someone please correct me if I misunderstood, but once on Regeneratively Speaking podcast one of the researchers explained the reason why burn scars appear is that body is over-producing stem cells (same with many cancers) to fight the inflammation and they've found which compounds can actually slow it down. Was hoping this is something from the same area, but seems like a different step.
I sadly also agree with you 100%

That's also because state put caps as to how much vaccines are supposed to cost, which makes them less profitable than they should be. However if you were to consider the cost of a one-time vaccine versus treating some illness for the rest of your life, it's expected consumers would go for the vaccine unless it's prohibitively expensive.

Am I wrong in attributing/connecting most of Americas problems with its flawed constitution/democratic system?

The first version of something is rarely the best version, and while the US constitution contained a lot of fantastic elements and freedoms that every educated American knows about, it also contained a democratic system (first past the post/two party system) that is mathematically bound to breed divisiveness. [1] [2]

Since the American system forces people into two camps/parties based on ideology instead of the delivered results, the results suffer while the ideological conflict is enhanced.

I think the innovation is in the detection algorithm that isn't shown in the article, and in the fact that it happens when the data is shared, rather than applied on data sitting in a personal account, or data identified by third-party (e.g. the rightsholder). The patent isn't available online just yet, it seems, so I can't say for certain.

So congratulations on living somewhere that medium-high density living is not only accepted but seen as obvious! My wife also grew up in an apartment.

The thing is, apartments in the US usually have timber floors (since wood is so available and cheap), and little insulation (apartments are usually on the coasts, where the climate is mild).

> It is absolutely possible and also very humane indeed also to raise children in an apartment.

I feel that the social fabric between Europeans is stronger than in the US. Sure, kids will be fine, but property owners in the US are an entitled bunch and may feel like their rights are being violated by the pitter-patter/clonk-bonk of active children. A foot of concrete absorbs a lot more noise than an inch of timber.

> it's b/c your government fails to build them

Most development in the US is done by private companies; very little housing stock is built by government agencies. The biggest constraint is building permits, which is controlled by local government like city councils, which local residents are elected to, who generally are… baby boomers.

> If you can afford to build a house you can afford a car and you have to commute.

I don't understand this comment. If I live in Nebraska/Detroit (where is is extremely easy to afford a house & jobs are scarce), do I commute to the Bay Area? That's days of driving, or getting a pilot's license.

It's the same in Australia: if I can afford to build a house in Bourke, do I commute to my job in Sydney every day? Even Centrelink says that the maximum reasonable commute is 90min each way, which (at worst) would mean getting a place in the Blue Mountains/Wollongong/Gosford.
Oxford Prioritisation Project chooses career guidance over AI safety
I can support it and you have just presented one of the major problems with the catastrophe scenarios predicted by various climate scientists (the geological record - think time-frames here). I have presented the calculations to various climate scientists and other than one "That's interesting, I'll get back to you", there have been no refutations of the calculations by them.

> Please share your calculations with us.

That's the whole point, the calculations can be done by a fifth grader, so I'll let you do your own homework. However, I will give you a clue - conversion involves over 1 million 25 megatonne nuclear bombs. I'll be nice and add, daily global incident solar energy is another clue.

Once you have done your calculations then we can discuss any differences between results and outcomes.
Retailer customer service people generally do not need compliant desktops, because the systems they can access should not be storing protected data - maybe it would contain masked PAN i.e. the last four digits, but definitely nothing more.

For phone authorizations (if they are used - it may be a regional thing as most smaller online retailers here won't do it at all, banks really frown on merchants who do so because of risks and make it really expensive), generally the agent would use a similar interface as an online customer (encrypted channel, yadda yadda), and the card information would not be stored anywhere on that machine. Whether all kinds of PCI DSS security requirements would apply to these workstations is debatable, your mileage may vary, I've seen them considered out of scope - but in that case it wasn't really a call center for taking transactions but a support call center that might also handle a phone authorization in rare cases.

In any case, for a call center the biggest PCI compliance problem IMHO is handling the sensitive data in call recordings.

You can't overwrite the reserve directly though. You have to write non-zero data to 99% to lock it, then destructively update the last 1% many times to cycle through the reserve.

Many disks have a full erase command, which asks the internal controller to do the erase.

In general though, I use a hammer.

Why edge cases matter for product success
I'm afraid when the end of the world finally comes, there's going to be a ton of people who will be upset it didn't happen the way they wanted it to.

I remember reading Bob Novak in the mid 2000s. Every week he'd predict that whatever the current news was, the United States would be pulling out of Iraq.

Finally I emailed him. "Bob! Keep it up! Sooner or later you're bound to be right"

He's not right yet, but my point holds. At some point, something really bad is going to happen that scientists have been predicting. Bound to happen. But once that happens, there will be a hundred other things that didn't make the cut.

The precautionary principle is great, but not when you have dozens or hundreds of things all of which with potentially catastrophic consequences. Then it's all just so much noise.

I moved and took a weekend-only job for this express purpose. I can't imagine getting anything done under 9-5, 5 days a week conditions.

I've heard of it being done, but for me it's an impossibilty. Even on the mere 2 days of work, I'm unable to do much more than recouperate on those evenings. I would no doubt squander weekends under "normal" conditions. I personally find aforementioned achedule wildly inhumane though.
While I don't think the US is, de jure, a third-world country, I completely believe that it is, de facto, for many. I am on my way back from Memphis and onto Detroit, and both of these cities and their home states have plenty of areas that look unbelievably impoverished. Based on what I've seen from my years of traveling the country, it would not surprise me if most of the country had this problem. It's really sad.
After trying new GitHub Desktop Beta mentioned in the article a week ago: it's still nowhere near compete enough to work:

- You can only stage all changes in a file - so you can't discard 'console.log('Wooo'); debugger;' when committing, you have to remove those in your editor first, then commit.

- you can't reverse commits. Need to roll HEAD back to a previous commit, push those fixes, then resume what you were working on? You can't do it.

- still no graphical interactive rebase to merge and squash and reorder commits (the main reason people put up with sourcetree).

It feel fast and responsive though.

Edit: downvotes seem odd. If you think this is offtopic, the GitHub Desktop Beta is announced in the article.

My perspective comes from doing hardware and vmware installs at businesses for a Dell partner in the US. The problem is that, as far as many small businesses are concerned, there's only two options: get a full, comprehensive, money-paid-if-we're-wrong-guarantee-backed pentest that's way too expensive, or do nothing.

There's a lot of places that would just like some idea how vulnerable they are on the basics. Something the IT admin can show management. If you can come up with a decent suite for a reasonable price with the legalese to say this is for informational purposes and a starting point but not comprehensive, you could carve out a sustainable niche.

Edit to say: in person. Shake hands, tour the facility, ret to know how they operate, and test inside and out. Online automated scanners are a dime a dozen and no one would seriously trust them.
I think there is just one sane choice: I'd use the one that I know best, and the one that has huge number of users (which means it's more battle tested).

In my case it would be Django + PostgreSQL.
The facts are piling up to support this view. However I don't see it as mere regression, insofar as time doesn't flow backwards, and it is still quite unfair to developing countries to say their condition is 'as good' as that of even lower-class US citizens.

It looks more to me, as I had somewhat theorized a decade ago, as the emergence of a 'new medieval age' politically and economically. The US being one of the most advanced countries on earth, it seems quite logical that they would pave the way forward towards new social orders in this century. Sadly not a desirable change, but history is made of ups and downs in quality of life.
If you look at it in terms of open positions then the market appears to be growing.

I imagine finding experienced people would be difficult for employers. The learning curve is relatively small for an experienced developer to pick up something like metasploit. Finding someone who can creatively come up with zero days etc probably very difficult.
I'd add that fast food, as a short-term "hit", and like all kinds of instant (but shallow) highs, represses the anxiety of not being that better self.

Depends on the project, but most likely just Node + express + TypeScript on the backend (so no "framework" in the traditional sense).

On the frontend, React + MobX + TypeScript.

This of course means it would be a single-page application.

Benefit of using TypeScript on both client and server is that you get to automatically share the schema of the data they're exchanging (and maybe some more code as well, like validation). For free. And when you change the structure of something - and you will - you get immediately alerted to any issues on both sides (e.g. this property is now required, and you omitted it in this function!). This is huge because maintenance is often more difficult than writing the initial version - and I don't even mean the initial released version.

Also you get to potentially reuse some of the code in the future for a React Native based mobile app.

I'm also eyeing GraphQL and Apollo a bit, but I don't have enough experience with them to use them in a "real" project just yet.

Sadly, no.

Doesn't get much coverage outside of Thailand, but there is a low lying coastal area called Khun Samut Chin that has been inundated by ocean for a distance of about 1km over the last couple of decades. It is a bit of a tourist destination now because while all of the houses have been moved to higher ground over the years there is a temple that is isolated out in the middle of the water.

They say it is a combination of rising sea level and erosion. It might happen that way other places in the future, where a slight increase in sea level causes high tides and storm surges to reach father inland, resulting in land being washed away.

There are thousands of firms who will happily run a vuln scan or webapp crawler and send you a crappy canned report.
There are less who can really perform a comprehensive test and document the hell out of it.

I personally think pen testing is not very useful, except as a 3rd party check to tell you if you've done a reasonable job at protecting your software (and if you get a bad tester, you literally won't know!). We need more people in InfoSec who can explain how to build defensible software - finding holes is the easy part.
Play Framework with Scala. Very simple and super scalable.
The main thing vs REST is that it fixes the 'overlapping data in resources' issue. Want a timeline of tweets? Well you'll also want avatars to display, and you probably don't want that in a separate resource (because of multiple requests), so both /tweets and /users/userid will give you avatar details. It's a bit messy.

In graphQL there's one resource and you query it to tell you what you want.
I started one recently with Preact + Mobx. Very happy with it
My current stack:

Backend: Go (standard library mostly, httprouter, and some homegrown libraries for stuff like dependency injection, configuration etc.)

Frontend: TypeScript (with React and Redux/mobx)

Other than that, I think using something like Kotlin, Swift or Elixir could be interesting in the backend, too.
>and the best thing is that you get to set the topic for the conversation instead of some arbitrary video remotely related to what you want to talk about.

That's a good point (allowing for deeper discussion), but in YouTube I also like how the image/video transcends borders and politics etc in a way that targeted discussion doesn't.

After half a lifetime of hearing this and not caring, humanity might have failed when they do start to see visible effects and can no longer do anything about it.

As I understand, the main point of the article is that if the huge sheet of ice dislodges from main land, it is essentially going to melt entirely and no longer slow more land ice from getting to the ocean faster.

The timeframe in which the ice will melt is uncertain, but it will surely melt. So by the time you noticed water rising, it will be too late. By taking this wait and see approach, you are basically negligencing the problem to the next one or two, maybe three generations to helplessly endure.

The main test for humanity here is if it can coordinate and take one for the team economically so as to prevent itself from actual catastrophe in the future generations. So far it's not looking good.
