I wish Chrome would make an exception for pages on localhost and devices on the local network. There are currently no good solutions for acquiring certificates in these cases.
Also newer or rebuilt cities like Rotterdam would be interesting as well I think. Also since Europe is more dense than America there might be some different opinions on how things are to be planned.
That's in this version. How many versions until we get the ridiculous harassment already required for self-signed certs?

I would add that aluminum ladders tend to be bouncy because there's very little mechanical damping. I've climbed 30' aluminum ladders and in the middle it's like being on a trampoline. You have to go slow. Wood ladders seem better for racing up and down.
So true.

Google is a two-faced little bastard but people love them. It's a mystery.
What exactly is bothering you about Alpine package management?
Where the problem arises is the degree to which one is affected by these emotions. Too much anxiety can lead to paranoia, schizophrenia and anti-social behavior, too little can lead to life threatening situations. Too much aggression can lead to irrational mass murder, too little can lead to slavery.

Loved reading this! I just finished restored a 1912 house in Oakland made out of the same old growth west coast douglas fir - from the framing to the copious clear vertical grain and quarter sawn wainscoting, all stripped, sanded and refinished in a natural varnish. Great to see this kind of craftsmanship alive and well!
In Fiji, they wear bula shirts, which are more or less the same (bula == aloha in Fijian).

I wonder if they're a separate parallel development, or if they were introduced at some point.
That's exactly the problem. Devices in the local network can not partake in the public CA infrastructure. So they run self-signed certificates, which is probably a small security win over plain HTTP, but then customers are faced with a scary "someone is stealing your data" page before ever seeing the configuration page. That's a no go, so most stay on HTTP, but as we can tell from this announcement, time is running out for that. Leaving them with zero good options.

If this trend continues it means you will no longer be able to configure these devices with a webbrowser but forced to use the manufacturers "cloud solution" or install an app where both ends of the TLS connection can be controlled and you're not bound to public CAs.
> There are much more effective ways you could protest the TSA

I didn't ask myself the best way to protest the TSA, and then choose to go find some agents in a grocery store. I was there to buy groceries, which I still accomplished.

> you wouldn't use fighting words like this in a context where you believed they might respond like many reasonable people would: a punch in the mouth

I think our disagreement is fundamentally based on your considering it reasonable for someone to respond violently to a verbal insult? This is going to depend entirely on personal and local culture, and I do not have such expectation. I'm used to the response being a quicker retort, and going your separate ways. If someone resorts to starting a fight it's an automatic loss in the court of public opinion.

> your personal opinion that they're fascists and child molesters

They're patently fascist, having power due to the synergy of government and corporations. Ping-ponging between the two legal regimes is the basis of being able to force you into a warrantless search, yet still dole out federal penalties.

And they're plainly molesters - both with the rummaging through our personal effects, and every time one of their hands brushes my nuts. I personally don't have direct evidence to warranty "child" (although I would imagine they would have to be fondling them too?), but it is a concept our society understands.

I looked up g11 and g10 for their structural heat limits, because I know they have a higher heat resistance than most fiberglass, and are limited to around 150c/ 300f. I looked up what a typical house fire burns at which is 600c/1100f.

Of course you still need to find costumers for a mass tapeout, but once the whole linux tool-chain is running there are lots of potential applications and costumers.
Also a common pattern in biological ecosystems. Great weather one year leads to lots of fresh grass around, so more rabbits than usual survive to adulthood. An abundance of rabbits leads to more foxes than usual surviving. But the next year the increased fox population over-hunts the rabbits, crashing their population, and the next winter the underfed fox population crashes in turn, allowing more rabbits to survive to adulthood... etc. etc.

The correct word for the positive emotion is feeling emulous -- which means you are filled with admiration and the motivation to emulate the achievement you see, or to do even better. To feel envious involves a grudge and a desire to take away/undermine the achievement or possession of another person.

Example: do you wish you had a beautiful, new, fast car like your acquaintance; or do you wish they had an accident and lost their car (and/or got injured while in it)?

Helmut Schoeck wrote a great treatise on the subject of Envy. [1]

"He's also been putting out a tremendous volume of work in multiple categories. I bet he'd rather work on this stuff than on user-friendly build systems."

>> Relevant bits:

>> “On their face, they’re less than a third the price of building a new coal or natural gas power plant,” Ramez Naam, an energy expert and lecturer at Singularity University, told Earther in an email. “In fact, building these plants is cheaper than just operating an existing coal or natural gas plant.”

>> There’s a 30 percent federal investment tax credit for solar projects that helps drive down the cost of this and other solar projects. But Naam said even if you take away that credit, “these bids, un-subsidized, are still cheaper than any new coal or gas plants, and possibly cheaper than operating existing plants.”

I'm assuming that's without factoring in the health cost externalities.

That would be the real question: considering Ubuntu is just a Debian fork, what is the benefit of using Ubuntu on a server?
I'd argue that print and log statements are just poor man's debugger. I don't deny the use and usefulness of logging in general, just it's use for debugging. In order to catch a bug you need to cast a very wide net of print statements. Debugger allows you to seamlessly travel up and down the stack frames, look at different variables on the spot and investigate different code execution paths, even the ones that you didn't not expect you would at the start of the session. Doing the same with log statements is amazingly inefficient.
You make a lot of good points. I think we should also consider the fact that if you invest your money rather than spend it, the firm may not invest directly into capital projects for increased productivity. So much money is returned to shareholders via buybacks and dividends these days. So in those cases, your wealth isn't transferred to labor, instead it's transferred to other shareholders who already have wealth and a flywheel effect occurs. This creates more and more distance between labor and capital.

I could be completely off here but am interested in opinions on this.
One thing that really surprised me when poking around Google Maps a while back is how griddy Weimar is compared to other European cities. While the downtown is a mess, the areas immediately outside it are on a grid that wraps around the city.

Sorry, I didn’t see the previous post. Different sources anyway, imho this one is a more complete analysis. I rewrote the original title since it was not informative enough ("A Remote iOS Bug”), and the subheading was too large to post (“apple wrote code to appease the chinese government ...it was buggy”). I don’t think the headline was misleading: the crash was absolutely related to the Taiwanese flag emoji censorship.
But that's never how HR is framed. It's always framed as your friend, if you need anything at all, if you have any problem...talk to HR. Every company I've worked for has been that way.
In my experience, based on reports from people who had complaints(though I've never had an issue myself), HR's primary role is making you 'shut up and go away.'
How am I supposed to read and edit my org mode notes from my Android device?

Yes, I do in fact use Orgzly. For a very specific subset of notes it's fine. But for a long bit of documentation, no good editor exists on anything but a desktop / laptop. That is, nobody's reimplemented enough of Emacs on Android yet.
You'd be amazed at the amount of web sites which are not secured. E-commerce sites, corporate sites, classified sites, you name it. How unlikely would be to visit a news site through some "free" vpn service only to have most of the ads replaced with shady ones. I mean let's get realistic here, https while inconvenient will make the web a better place. And even if your site isn't secure most users won't even notice because they rarely ever watch the address bar. If they did there wouldn't be a bazillion of phising attacks out there.

> Huh? Downgrades are fully supported by dpkg and apt.

No, they aren't. You need to remove the newer version prior to installing the old one. RPM based systems allow you to downgrade to an entirely different distro release with one command.

More than once, sadly.
It's pretty slow for me too, but I don't mind.

Can someone explain how exactly DIRT protocol will do moderation? From their site [1] it seems like they do some sort of moderating of crowd-sourced structured data. But this is where I am a bit confused: "DIRT maintains accuracy because every contributor needs to deposit tokens to write data. If the data is correct, it is freely shared. If the data is incorrect, anyone can challenge the data and earn tokens for identifying these inaccurate facts." How is the data flagged as incorrect? Who decides that the original data is wrong and the new data is correct?

Also, given that contributors have to put money up to add information, what incentive do they have to add information in the first place?

Localhost already is an exception. For best browser compatibility use either 127.0.0.1 or ::1 as appropriate rather than the name localhost.

The browser has no realistic way to conclude that your "local" network is secure. It probably isn't. So there's no sane policy that says that's OK
And it ultimately has a Lisp connection as well, given the history of [sbcl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_Bank_Common_Lisp).

How is having a "not secure" label showing up on your not secure http html folder an inconvenience? I think it makes more sense to move to secure by default, with a large "not secure" label for the nondefault (non-https) sites. Better to be proactive with the labeling than relying on endusers having to remember to look for that little padlock now that letsencrypt hands out certificates for free in a super easy, automated fashion.

Fascinating. I have a pretty solid collection of Aloha shirts myself, but I always thought they were a mainland invention and that the Hawaiians just sort of adopted them.

It makes me happy to know that they actually create the idea and is a positive part of their culture, and not just another adoption of their colonizer's culture.

Yeah, Chromium, which is FOSS, not Google Chrome, and Google Noto Fonts, which are also FOSS.

So you simply stated, in a polite way "Excuse me, but I'd just like to note that, in my estimate, you two are fascist child molesters. This concludes my political statement of opinion. Good day."? I'm just having trouble imagining how you politely call someone a fascist child molester.

American hospitals cannot deny emergency treatment for lack of ability to pay.
4chan, 2ch, FAF, and tons more laugh at your silly assumption and provides GREAT historical proof otherwise. Hell, even Slashdot is still alive, with over 5 million registered accounts. And the moderation there is done by the people, not admin appointments (because as you clearly demonstrate, it leads to Nazi-esque bullshit REALLY fast.)

Perhaps you're not so technologically-informed as you'd like to be. I charge $5,000 per hour to bring people up to speed on actual history.

And while we're at it - many of my posts are hidden because of your shadowbanning when they in fact contribute greatly to the conversation (vertical farming being the most recent example.) Only Nazis make people disappear, Mr. Paul Graham.
What machine learning means for software development
Yes, since the tasks and material change.

Modern materials are lighter and more stable, thus need less material, which gives more flexibility to move.

Also the tasks changed. These days there are less fires, but more kinds of "technical assistance" and when there is fire water usage is more targeted and restricted.
And your life depends on your gear.
The material they show in the article is massive. Thick, long and heavy. Even if there are kilns big enough, the wood would no longer be straight after a fast kiln drying.

A 50' 3x3" board would be twisted and bowed so much that the ladder would be a spiral staircase.

It doesn't matter for 20' 2x4 destined for a construction site.

Even if the wood was kiln dried, it would still have to acclimatizate for months or years before it would be at a stable 13% humidity of San Francisco.
There is one extremely good reason for packing your own parachute yourself.

I think it would be awesome if Trump tweeted outright that Taiwan is not part of China and that China should man up and deal with it.

It seems like there is a long history of the US verbally appeasing China over issues like this while actively supporting Taiwan. Tough talk seems to get their attention way better than verbal appeasement.
> I wonder if they implemented one of their languages with true wrapping index behaviour.

No, that was just me writing carelessly. None of the mystery languages use array indexing, and if they did we'd be careful to get it right. I actually know this behavior of Python, but didn't think about it much as I wrote.

> On that note, how the hell would you understand currying or do notation by trial and error?

It's not easy, but many of our mystery languages are harder than this, and our students figure them out! Sometimes they'll get 2/3 of the way to a solid explanation, and then Shriram gives them a canonical explanation in class the next day, while it's fresh in their minds. And sometimes they come to a perfect understanding by themselves.

And currying could make a good mystery language. Thanks for the idea!

I think the low yield strength of aluminum also plays a role here, as one guy mentions. But I’m surprised thermal conductivity didn’t rate a mention.

There was a time when aluminum bikes were new but before the parts likely to bend were replaceable where many a bike owner had to buy a new frame due to misadventure. You can only bend aluminum once, then you’re done. When they started making cogsets with more than six gears they went with axles about half a centimeter wider, and you had a similar conversation. You can have the longer axles but you can’t change your mind after. They have to bend the stays slightly and there is no going back after that (and let me tell you, the mechanic got really quiet when they did the bend. You want to get it just right and every bike and every frame size is different. You pull until you feel the metal just start to give and just after that is your 5mm)

Steel frames could often be rebent. But they’re heavier and they don’t like moisture. And their strength to weight ratio is only about the same as wood. Probably also bad options for firefighters.

I guess "touched" is the wrong word. I did enough "touching" of it unfortunately: using it to compile packages, trying to fix it, wasting precious time wading through pages of horrible shell code to understand why it fails when it does.

I even tried a couple of time to use it in my own projects , naively thinking that it's so widespread there's got to be something to it I'm not seeing.

I gave up on it in disgust everytime. The list of reasons is long, but I guess if I have to pick the one thing that really drive me nuts: most packages out there compile way faster than it takes to configure them.

If that specific fact doesn't make you walk away from it immediately, our brains just aren't wired the same.
ACME has nothing to do with provisioning root certificate trust stores and I hope DHCP never will either. If you need additional local root CAs then deploy them via enterprise workstation management solutions.
