Most maps for hiking/backcountry use are topographic. If you generally know what line you’re on, like a trail or along a creek, you can match your altitude to the elevation on the map and identify your position. It’s a lot quicker and easier than finding a point, taking the angle from a compass, and plotting your position on the map.
I don't think there is any shortage of literature on the need to avoid vendor lock-in. Selecting a cloud agnostic tool like those developed by Hashicorp and the opensource community offers the folks at 1Password additional flexibility in their choice of cloud providers. AWS is great, but still...

I don't see any mention of Terraform Enterprise here, either. I imagine they're perfectly capable of pursuing Terraform with the foss version, although the enterprise complement has some pretty great additional features.
You are very correct for anyone who would consider themselves a programmer. I was thinking in a bigger scope; with so many non-programmers working technical roles (and especially with data/databases), I think this is a marvellous way for e.g. project managers to have a brief mental model of what a db index is.

So, it sounds more like you would never have a cofounder anyways. This idea probably isn't aimed at somebody who after 15 years still can't find someone available that they can trust.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Ideological or political battle or talking points. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
It was only last week or so when I read some security researcher pulling some tricks to bypass part of caja's sandbox (while looking for something else, even). Sure this was a whitehat researcher and they got a (very) nice bug bounty from Google Project Zero. But if they use this to secure the 3rd party scripts that are apparently allowed these days on Google Ads, they're being hugely irresponsible.

I never heard of Caja until a few weeks ago, but apparently it started in 2007, could be that I forgot when I heard about it though. Back in 2007 though I was still a frontend web developer with a very keen eye on JS security and all the XSS/CSRF problems of those days. Back then JS/ECMAScript did not have sufficiently advanced features to properly sandbox code. This was a bit of a fool's errand back then. By now it's gotten a lot more of these features, mainly revolving around protecting the super-flexible fluid JS objects from modification and abuse. But I really kind of wonder if that locks everything really watertight? Because browsers are going to have unofficial/proprietary features, and you need just one to accidentally get this slightly wrong, get a reference to a non-sandboxed Window object via-via-via, and it all falls apart.

You don't let untrusted people run code on stuff you serve. Code is just too slippery, turing complete etc, and ECMAScript perhaps even more so than many other languages. Can't we just take that for a given by now, instead of trying to be cleverer than the previous smart person that failed at it?
Will Twitter ever handle this? Given how easily this journalist found this pattern I'm pretty sure it would be trivial to start banning these accounts with their internal metrics.
Compared to Xen and KVM, VirtualBox runs much larger parts of the device emulation in ring 0, together with the core CPU virtualization code, for performance.

This is particularly important when KVM is used with a special user (such as user "qemu") and SELinux, because then a bug in QEMU becomes extremely hard to turn into host root access. Libvirt takes care of configuring SELinux this way for you, when you use for example KVM on OpenStack.

Terraform allows you to make modifications to the state file yourself, both with terraform commands like terraform state mv, or manually if you're brave enough to edit the JSON. It requires confidence in using the tool, of course. But it also encourages you to create your cloud resources in a way where it's safe to let Terraform destroy and re-create most of it at any time.
So you have maps that record the location of stationary signs etc. and then have the car stop if it gets a radar return from a stationary object (e.g. fire truck) that's not on your map? Then when someone puts up a new sign you're slamming on the brakes until the map gets updated.

Not being able to tell if a stationary object is something you're going to hit or not (like LiDAR or stereo cameras might do) is more relevant to this case than maps.
That works for single developers and tiny codebases, but for large teams and long term maintainence, Java's tooling is superior.
Intel does not have a monopoly. The do have the best (i.e. fastest) processors for some applications. But having the best product in a market niche is not a monopoly.

For somebody who blindly follows Stallman's school of thought no matter what the consequences, I find it odd that your password isn't the same as your login name.

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/stallman-kth.html

>But gradually things got worse and worse, it's just the nature of the way the system had been constructed forced people to demand more and more security. Until eventually I was forced to stop using the machine, because I refused to have a password that was secret. Ever since passwords first appeared at the MIT-AI lab I had come to the conclusion that to stand up for my belief, to follow my belief that there should be no passwords, I should always make sure to have a password that is as obvious as possible and I should tell everyone what it is. Because I don't believe that it's really desirable to have security on a computer, I shouldn't be willing to help uphold the security regime. On the systems that permit it I use the “empty password”, and on systems where that isn't allowed, or where that means you can't log in at all from other places, things like that, I use my login name as my password. It's about as obvious as you can get. And when people point out that this way people might be able to log in as me, i say “yes that's the idea, somebody might have a need to get some data from this machine. I want to make sure that they aren't screwed by security”.

I'm not so sure about this. My experience has been limited, but so far, Terraform has been a treat to work with. I didn't think Terraform cared about where the resources were defined in a the plan step. I'd love for someone with further experience to weigh in here.

Also, Terraform state on the file system? Do you have the luxury of solo development without the need for a Terraform remote backend?

I get the impression that he wouldn't mind the implementation details so much if the fundamental concepts were working. As many others have stated, Ted isn't a programmer anyway, so he is not likely to be overly concerned about the intricacies of the implementation as much as he just wants to ensure that the system is functionally appropriate.

Two-way hyperlinks and an integrated core of micropayments and publication have yet to be realized in a substantially useful way. Ted absolutely bears a lot of the responsibility for this, as he's been given resources to build such a system multiple times -- but that speaks to his project management capabilities, which are a different matter.

My read is that Ted isn't nitpicking the details. It's not that the same goals are being accomplished in some less-than-perfect way. The key point of contention appears to be that major portions of the vision are still on the table with no widespread practical or workable implementation, not because the technology is incapable, but merely because people don't understand either the original concepts enumerated as hypertext themselves, or don't see any value in them. Perhaps there isn't value, I don't know. But Ted clearly thinks there is, and is frustrated by a world that is humming along without these components that he's been trying to extoll for 50+ years.

It also must really chafe to have people hijack the terminology that originally encompasses a broad concept, and pretend like some vague, minimal similarity in an otherwise-adulterated system is the full realization of said concept. I sympathize greatly with Alan Kay, Ted Nelson, and other visionaries who've had their concepts co-opted and misrepresented by profiteers, much to the detriment of the world as a whole.

Study: Naked mole-rat mortality rates defy Gompertzian laws by not increasing with age

Abstract: The longest-lived rodent, the naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber), has a reported maximum lifespan of >30 years and exhibits delayed and/or attenuated age-associated physiological declines. We questioned whether these mouse-sized, eusocial rodents conform to Gompertzian mortality laws by experiencing an exponentially increasing risk of death as they get older. We compiled and analyzed a large compendium of historical naked mole-rat lifespan data with >3000 data points. Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed a substantial portion of the population to have survived at 30 years of age. Moreover, unlike all other mammals studied to date, and regardless of sex or breeding-status, the age-specific hazard of mortality did not increase with age, even at ages 25-fold past their time to reproductive maturity. This absence of hazard increase with age, in defiance of Gompertz’s law, uniquely identifies the naked mole-rat as a non-aging mammal, confirming its status as an exceptional model for biogerontology.
Are you implying it somehow is meaningfully different? Also, I actually tried asking my technically inclined friends and none of them were aware that Mozilla was a non-profit, to my surprise. So I can’t agree with either your premise or your conclusion.
The guy behind the top 1 restaurant in London on TripAdvisor said that he used to write fake reviews.

Right now its not too difficult to identify patterns that tell real accounts or comments from fake ones, but as AI learns to write better and create more believable images and videos, I wonder how long it will take to create a bot account indistinguishable from a real one.

Maybe this should be the Turing Test of our time.

I think that's a fair point. But otherwise, David is very much a "good guy" in virtually all of his stories.

King David's famous "Slice the baby in half, so that both 'mothers' can have half of it" is clearly a fight of good vs evil. The Evil mother doesn't care for the child, while the good mother cares deeply for the child. And that's how King David solved one child-custody problem... (not actually killing the baby, but by judging the reactions of the two 'mothers' to the potential act).

-----------

The story of "Sodom and Gomorrah" is implicitly about evil. The town faces divine punishment because 10 good people couldn't be found. Its perhaps not "good guy vs bad guy", bit the concepts of "bad guy" are definitely explored.

This is a knee-jerk bill written by people who don't understand technology. It specifically calls out glued batteries, for example, and not any other permanent attachment of any other component. It claims that "operating system", "machine code", "assembly code", and "microcode" are all "synonyms".

I'm all for being able to repair one's own devices (my alarm clock is a 1980's HeathKit that I've saved from an early grave more than once with a soldering iron), but this is a poorly written bill that wouldn't help consumers.
It is a well written thesis, and finds lots of evidence for his thesis. However, you are exactly right. Evidence that could contradict the thesis is unexplored, and leaves his/her rather sweeping claims unjustified.

Where I think Apple ran afoul of what I _think_ this law is proposing is in using pentalobe screws to keep the phone shut. Once opened, an iPhone battery is pretty easy to replace.

edit, read article, but not the bill. What I understand is it isn't just about being able to technically repair (ebay, iFixit, etc) but in Apple aggressively trying to prevent third parties from having legitimate access to spare parts, manuals, etc.

This article is embarrassingly wrong. In every single interpretation of the monomyth, we have a hero that strives to be victorious over some form of evil -- often times at great cost. But Ms. Nichols is being disingenuous by cherry-picking The Iliad (which is politically complex) -- why not Beowulf, or The Odyssey -- where we have very clear cases of antagonists and protagonists. Also, the argument that moral face-offs are "a recent invention that evolved in concert with modern nationalism" is so unequivocally wrong, if you said it, you'd be laughed out of an undergraduate English class.

Morally relativist and historically revisionist BS.
Bingo. They have the capabilities to clean up their platform. But that would mean huge drops in “engagement” metrics.
You don't have to have the upper hand to be racist, and you don't have to be voluntarily racist, and you don't have to be at fault to be racist. Blacks in the 1930s making generalizations about whites is still racism, regardless of how justified or disadvantaged they may be.

I know this means that there's an uncomfortable category, a shade of gray that is "justified racism" and there are situations where not being racist might mean you're putting yourself at risk by trusting someone (e.g. your historical violent white man example) that due to historical circumstances has the "upper hand" and might use it to cause you harm, and these aren't very comfortable or popular ideas, but ... too bad?

When you can wrestle with the idea that racism can possibly be justified or a useful heuristic, you can possibly relate to the people who are racist, understand their fears and mistrust, and possibly bridge a gap to where you can explain to them that they don't have much to fear from the other.

I've come to decide that the only ads I consider "legit" are where the site owner strikes a deal with another business that is interested in advertising on their site, the site owner hosts the ad on their own server, as a picture banner or text or perhaps a nice block in a side column that says "sponsored content" or whatever, and just links to the other business.

Site owner controls all the content. Any tracking will be done mainly via server logs, if the site owner wants to they can use a bit of script to quickly shove in a redirect onmousedown, in order to track exactly when the user clicked what link. But frankly I've found even that technique a privacy insult ever since I noticed Google doing this in their own search results.

This is analogous to how paper newspapers used to manage their ad space. No third party shit, and if the magazine was proud of itself it would curate the ads to only deal with advertisers that wouldn't annoy their reader base (too much).

A bit of a hassle maybe, but it shows your readers that you actually care about what content is displayed on your site (let alone what code is run). But most importantly, no adblocker will block these kinds of ads. Because they're just image links, after all. Adblocker can't see if that's an ad banner or just a thumbnail linking to an external domain. And I would maybe even bother to whitelist those if they did (right until one shows me crap I don't want to see, like being confronted with nudity or sex when I'm not in the mood for it).
Arizona actually has a lot of brackish and brine well water that is non-potable.

A lot of it is actually in the Gila Bend area, where people have been trying for decades to figure out something to do with it - there used to be a company that grew "desert shrimp" in ponds using the water. Later, during the housing crisis (for some reason) they tried to make a go of growing algae (in cooperation with one of our universities - maybe ASU) in the ponds by piping CO from diesel aeration pumps into the ponds - then harvesting the algae (which were high in lipids) to make biofuel.

Ultimately, I don't think either of these panned out, but the water is there.
Doesn't it have much higer payload to LEO and GTO though? It's much more than D-IVH payload if Wikipedia is to be believed:

I think the default settings for puppet agents are typically 30 minutes if I'm not mistaken. I've inherited a bit of a DevOps mess with some 600-700 nodes in various states of management.

In previous positions, there was a great hew and cry that the run intervals were increased from 30 minutes to 60 minutes... eventually every four hours for production resources.

In my current position, production nodes are provisioned to run puppet once daily as a rule, triggered by cron jobs at a pseudorandom minute between 0200 and 0400 defined at server provisioning time.

How do these intervals compare to what you've seen?
Of course they do not.
