One thing that'd be good here for outside observers is for Let's Encrypt to bake a list of the Blessed Methods used into certificates as OIDs in the Policy section.

Right now a researcher with 5 million Let's Encrypt certificates can see which ones use public keys with unusual patterns, how many are for names in the French .fr TLD, how many have longer key lengths, and so on, but they can't see whether the validation was done with Method 10 (which had this unexpected flaw) or some other method.

Another CA (can't remember which one) was looking at doing this, and it seems like it'd be nice for Let's Encrypt too.
I think spaCy is pretty great. I'm curious to see more about how Prodigy (Montani's annotation/training feature) turns out. [1]

Graham did a fantastic TED talk[0] on technology, faith, and suffering.

In it, he admires how technology has improved life and changed the world, but rightfully points out that the human heart and its propensity toward evil can't be fixed by technology alone. Fantastic talk.

Exactly. Some tortoises as well can live a few hundred years, as well as wales, urchins, sharks, quahog clams, and as someone else mentioned– jellyfish.

Though you won't see any of them developing rockets and space-stations. To what extent that is an evolutionary advantage on our part I'll leave to general consensus.
Evangelists are perhaps not much of a HN thing, but Graham was a legitimately interesting world figure. Wikipedia describes him as a "close friend" to both LBJ and Nixon, with the latter relationship including Graham's suggestion of the following to Nixon:

"A secret thirteen-page letter (released to the public by the National Archives and Records Administration in April 1989) was written on April 15, 1969, by White House Chaplain Billy Graham to U.S. President Richard Nixon in which Graham encouraged Nixon to utilize a military campaign to bomb dikes across North Vietnam should the Paris Peace Talks fail to reach a negotiated settlement of the U.S. war in Southeast Asia. Graham had developed his dike bombing strategy during an earlier business meeting in Bangkok with his evangelists assigned to Southern Vietnam. Graham later told Nixon that this proposed escalation of the war in Southeast Asia was a plan that 'could overnight destroy the economy of North Vietnam' by employing 'tens of thousands of North Vietnamese defectors to bomb and invade the North.' Estimates from the Nixon administration concluded that such a military aerial bombing campaign against dikes in North Vietnam would have killed approximately one million North Vietnamese."

I'm not bringing this up to smear a guy who's recently died. It's just fascinating to me that the same person who's perhaps the most effective (and, by all appearances, genuine) evangelist ever would also have opinions on the right kind of bombing tactics to force a military agreement by crippling civilian infrastructure.
> "But then why set a meeting time? Tell them you'll meet them in the evening maybe, but no promises. Then everyone has the same expectation."

If people accepted that answer, that'd be fine, but by and large they don't/won't.

> "It just seems stupid to make an agreement that you know you won't keep."

You don't always know ahead of time. If you arrange to meet at 7pm and arrive at 7:05pm, predicting that far in advance is quite tricky. Perhaps you fully intended to be on time, but underestimated some part of the journey getting there.
As a friend said, it's a shame his son seems insistent on whoring out his name for the GOP.
Not to assume that the deceased are always remembered fondly, but I'm a bit confused by your comment. If he isn't great, but had noble purpose, I'd love to know how that works–at least, to learn a different way of quantifying a life lived.

That's unusual for NPR, and Laura Sydell is usually quite good at what she does. But yes - it's an unsupported and alarming transition, and it's what brought me to the comments here.

It's not exactly novel, though. Since online harassment on message boards and games started, people have been calling for an end to anonymity as a cure. Either a total end, meaning real names everywhere, or partial, meaning providing real names to sites that can be looked up if you behave badly. Wil Wheaton called for it loudly a few years back, and a string of other generally-progressive, internet-savvy voices have done so before and since. (Along with a lot of raving loons who know nothing about the internet, like Jack Thompson.)

There seems to be a pattern in these calls that I think explains it: they all come from people whose identities are already public and controversial online. Laura Sydell and Wil Wheaton spend lots of time being non-anonymous on the internet, and so their experience would probably improve if everyone else was 'onymized'. Meanwhile an awful lot of anonymous private individuals, especially from groups that get targeted for harassment, would suffer far more online.
The term whataboutism is bullshit. We're here to talk about our opinions on different topics. Just because you're applying a label to someone else's concerns doesn't make it a thing. Stop trying to make it a thing.

Look at your own comment. It's just you saying "I guess this" and "I guess that" so maybe every time someone says that we should start calling it "Iguessism"?

I could guess anything! And it really makes it sound as if I have an actual conclusion that means something to anyone, when in fact I'm not saying anything at all!
My friend's mother did custom upholstery for the mega yacht industry. She had some metal button covers left over so she sold them on ebay. They went so fast she decided to go into the button cover business. They were selling $700 - $1000 a day worth of cover buttons out of their house. I did the orders for a couple weeks while they were on vacation. It took me 2 hours a day to get all the orders out. The manufacturer died and the family was going to close the business since nobody wanted to buy it. My friend's mom and the whole family decided they would either have to give up their business or buy all the equipment and do it themselves which is what they did.

What I mean is that it's not a valid opinion from UX perspective, it's idealistic but the acute problem is purely technical.

Therefore your opinion is not users opinion but an opinion of a person who wants to shape the society in a certain way.
> Is it usual for the perspective of NPR articles to be this bizarrely biased?:

I think it usually depends on how far they step outside their area of expertise. I've always gotten an Ivy league liberal arts vibe from NPR correspondents. In some of their side shows you can hear them expound on some great classics author or another. My perception has always been that many people with that background tend to discount the usefulness of science fiction.
This boggles my mind. It's even worse than that psychology experiment where they auction off $20 bills. (Often for more than $20.)
I reject the notion that humans have a propensity towards evil. That's a fundamental tenet of Catholic and Protestant theologies but that doesn't make it a truth necessarily.

Given that humans are by our biology and history a social and cooperative species, it stands to reason that humans have a propensity towards "good" instead.

And I've updated my post to put good in quotation marks because obvious good and evil are not exactly objective truths either.

I doubt that's a widely accepted definition of it - I see it in [1] but there the author claims to have coined the term in 2015 even though it clearly predates that. However, the idea of signalling theory strongly includes the idea of costly signals, the obvious example being the peacock's feathers. I can't imagine that wouldn't be what a large part of what people mean when they say "virtue signalling" even though they do mean it by "signalling" in a broader context.

The title should probably be changed. The study was looking at "chronic heavy drinking" and "Alcohol use disorders". Not "alcohol use" in general.
I kinda regret adding the note about performance, because switching to a lower level language used to yield orders of magnitude more performance, but optimizers have evolved and today there's not much difference. Sometimes the higher level language will be even faster because of optimizations. And bad performance is often not to blame on the language, instead blame the programmer or more likely the business people as they think it's great to waste resources as it gives them an excuse to charge more.
This doesn't seem all that surprising. A lot of evangelicals seem to have a distinctly unchristian attitude.

> email marketing affects sales

I get emails from board game web shops all the time informing me of their sales. If I see something I'm interested in the email I'll click through and possibly purchase something. I just did it with Funagain Games a few days ago, when they announced a 'Lonely Hearts' sale, of games that play well solo. They had some good deals on there, so I grabbed bought a game at 25% of the price I've seen it at elsewhere.

If it's for a product you're really interested in, I think email marketing works.
The scientific article states alcohol use disorder, not alcohol use.

The scientific article is about early onset dementia, not all dementia.

The scientific article uses a large sample size, but the entire population is French.

I would rewrite the title "Alcohol use disorder is the largest risk factor for early onset dementia in French population."

Linear algebra isn’t a prerequisite for learning data structures and algorithms.

a swift and painless death is ultimately more humane than a lifetime behind bars with no hope for release, imo.

unfortunately the US system combines the worst of both worlds. the few who are executed only die after years of agonizing "will they or won't they" through the various levels of appeal. and after all that we still end up exonerating people posthumously.
The title is terribly inaccurate. The study specifically mentions chronic heavy drinking and alcohol use disorders as the problem, not alcohol itself.
Yeah, more resources for the newer generation and more adaptability from generations occurring more frequently. The extreme of this might be HIV or the common cold.
Thanks for the approach, I'll need to read about those models and how they correlate with real data. It seems likely that the gender gap appears from a combination of incentives and prejudices, so ideally we should use a combined model that describes how much each factor affects the final outcome.

> I can't find too much information on this, does docker mount /proc from the host by default in each of the containers?

Sorry, I should have clarified: It's /proc for the specific PID namespace. So in theory it doesn't leak anything bad. The problem is that it's a huge attack surface; there have been bugs in /proc before.

> I think that sandboxing the language is pretty tough in the general case, since every language takes a lot of effort. In non-managed, compiled languages, it will be even tougher.

WebAssembly sandboxes non-managed compiled languages pretty well. :)

> What is your opinion on tools like SELinux as a secondary layers?

IMO it doesn't help very much, because many of the kinds of kernel bugs that allow you to escape a container tend to allow you to escape SELinux as well.
This is a good and well-written article, but it's worth noting that I think many of the ideas here cut slightly against the grain of current Haskell best practices. Which is not to say any specific part is right, but for example the entire discussion on QuickCheck is hard to really make sense of and arbitrary is a famously good use of type classes.

Probably the most countercultural paragraph is the paragraph on recommending you make a fresh type rather than reuse an existing type. I think that you lose so many useful operations eschewing maybe for your uniquely named Maybe [1] that a type alias is probably a much better call there, and also captures what you meant more generically. Further, stuff like Maybe over a more specific instance works much better with valuable tools like Compose.

Similarly, the redundant constraint on Empty is the sort of thing that will only trip you up in the real world.

All in all, great article tho.

[1]: People underestimate the compiler cost of deriving instances. It adds up very fast if you derive lots of functors and foldables in your quest for unique names everywhere.

Not in Ireland. The last housing boom (late 90s/early 00s) gave us poor quality apartment blocks along with deficient building control regulations which in essence allowed developers to self-certify.

Which leads me to agree with your statements: "Every time they mass-build housing, the results are horrible" & "aimed at single 20 somethings without any thought to the long term or general community"

Made horrible as:

1) plenty of work so sub standard builders get away with it.

2) plenty of work so jobs are rushed

3) far left shouting for loads of (mainly free) housing to b e built right now.

4) plenty of work that any and all officials rush through decision making/inspection so that they don't have get chewed out of it.

Even with good facilities around and location being very walkable, nothing can compensate for not having a nice peaceful place to lay your head.
