I agree that the distributor having control over offering different artifacts to different individuals is very risky.

I was assuming that the sites that you might `curl | bash` from are third-party sites (i.e. not your Linux distribution) that you don't have an existing trust relationship with, which makes it impossible to avoid this capability. That's the situation people use curl | bash in.

So I think this ability to individualize artifacts would still be present if we were receiving a .deb or apt key instead from that site.

> you'll have a saved copy of the key afterward

Yes, though since dpkg post-install scripts can modify arbitrary files (right?), you can't trust that any files on your disk are the ones that existed before the compromise. So couldn't the malicious key verify the malicious package, which then overwrites the copy of the package and key on-disk with the good versions that were given to everyone else?

This looks great! I was looking for something similar to Dr Racket but for python. I am going to use this in a beginner's course in programming for high school students.

I guess you have already seen this article: http://worrydream.com/LearnableProgramming/ , any plans on getting some features there implemented? Especially seeing state/flow over time would be immensely helpful for beginners. The state inspector panel is good enough for now though!

With the exception of your email, isn't that the point of services like Hello Alfred? To get somebody else to worry about the annoying stuff that used to be your housewife's job before we got rid of that chauvinist notion of your wife as a homemaker, because even as we got rid of our sexist notions about who was responsible for the work, the work itself didn't disappear?

I mean, if that's what you get out of your vacation... And you compared the cost of a vacation to the cost of a home concierge service, and found the home concierge to be cheaper - wouldn't you just go with the concierge service?

> I’ve found, with baby parenting, there is an enormous amount of guesswork presented as fact, and this paper seems to push that. Case in point, Procedure for handling newborns at my hospital in Memphis TN has changed substantially with each of my kids over the course of 5 years. “Nurse: oh we don’t do that anymore, it’s not good for the baby”. Oh but it was fine for my first 2 kids?

That's not "guesswork pushed as fact", that's more information being discovered through research.

It's very hard to do research into this kind of stuff, and when you've done the research it's hard to take the stuff you've learnt across a population and apply it to individuals.

Mel Brooks features in two Joseph Heller (of Catch-22 fame) books: No laughing matter and From Coney Island to here. It is amazing to read about how Mario Puzo (of The Godfather), Mel Brooks, Joseph Heller, Speed Vogel spent their evenings together, playing cards, eating dinner, watching TV and just ‘shooting some shit’ as friend do. The passages in the book reminded me of impressionist painters gathered in a Parisian cafe talking about where to get cheap turpentine (as depicted in the book ‘Lust for life’). Worth a read! There is also an article where two old friends (Brooks and Heller) meet again:https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/entertainment/books/1...

Also, in one of the brilliant episodes of Jerry Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, he pays a visit to Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner (with Chinese Take-out food) — I highly recommend watching that to get a glimpse of sharp incisive wit in full action at age 90!

Glad to see the concept of work spaces realized quite thoroughly - I wrote about the need for such an approach before: https://rybakov.com/blog/open_tabs_are_cognitive_spaces/

I am intrigued, though, how well the browsing history concept scales up to dozens of tabs. In my experience, I only use the newest tab on mobile, while the other open tabs become some kind of living bookmarks.
You'd assume the somewhat weaker properties of:

toLower(toUpper(a)) == toLower(a)
toLower(toLower(a)) == toLower(a)

should work though, with German even that is not guaranteed unless you really spend a lot of time figuring out when to convert SS to ß. I suppose making toLower convert ß to ss would avoid that particular problem, but I'm not sure the Germans would agree with that one (which is why I said no nice solution exists).

At the very least it looks like you need a different toLower for style purposes than one for string comparison, unless someone can come up with a string where replacing ß with ss changes the meaning (or some equivalent to this), in which case there's no hope.
I just went to a part of the city (southern SF) with lots of workshops. Found a steel piece that I liked, and bought it. The whole 50lb chunk of steel cost me ~$50; it's sold by weight.

Then I coated it with oil and put it in the oven at 500 to season it.

The elephant in the room that I'm surprised wasn't mentioned is that there's no spare water in the Colorado. The Colorado River Compact allocated more than 100% of the current flow of the Colorado River to the different states (and a separate agreement adds up Mexico as well too), and it's at the point where a "good" winter snowpack means that the water level doesn't fall instead of providing meaningful recharge. The snow in 2016-2017 meant a return to 2014's low, but 2014 itself saw a miserable 20-foot fall in lake levels that there's no prospect for reversing. So where will the water to pump into the lake come from?

Peterson is telling people what they want to hear, which is why he has an audience. He's not carrying out a sincere inquiry into philosophical truth.

What people want to hear is condemnation of de-platforming, shouting down and other behaviors new to the last decade or two in academia. He's also not a philosopher, he's a psychiatrist. His comments around the postmodernist influence in the Humanities and the cultural effects - right or wrong - are a fascinating topic of debate quite relevant to this thread.

Double Pivot Quick Sort: Java’s Default Sorting Algorithm. – DEV Community ‍‍
Research aside, isn't this intuitive? My sexuality doesn't come into the feeling I have when I go clothes shopping. If they've got guys wearing the merchandise and they look attractive and confident, I'm going to feel empowered by that - they look hot in those clothes and so I'm interested.

I might even feel confident in myself because I've realised I can feel that for myself. The physique doesn't even matter, it's just the energy of it.

If they hire a bunch of models who give off nothing more than anxiety and discomfort in themselves then my first thought isn't that they're making great clothes look good.

I can't imagine that we as men have this different compared to women who shop for clothes. Attraction, sexuality, and aspiration is in your face at all times there. The main difference I see is that a man will rarely call another man attractive, as if the instant assumption is that admiring them makes you gay. Plenty of men out there who look and feel awesome without needing to challenge your heterosexuality.

The cost of developing on one of these cheap boards is only meaningful if you're able to leverage a vendor's free but limited-to-select-architectures development suite. E.g. briefly looking through the list, the MiniZed with a Zynq XC7Z007S is listed at $89, but according to Xilinx, this isn't targetable by Vivado WebPACK[1]; a node-locked license will run you an additional US$3k.

EDIT: Manual browsing missed XC7Z007S in the list, which is indeed targetable by WebPACK. List of dev boards is lengthy, but the principle takeaway is not to presume that a cheap dev board is targetable by a vendor's free development suite.

The line that I noticed in the article is that the dam is only 20% used. They should fix that first, since hydroelectric power is green power. Best to ensure hydroelectric works first since it is far cheaper than wind and solar.

Power from hydroquebec (used in NYC) is 4.5 cents US (about 6 cents CAN dollar), so they should fix the river so that Hoover Dam works at full capacity instead of 20%.

The article doesn’t go as far as to make any explanations so I’ll drop what I think is happening: the tall masculine figure is making the targeted men insecure (the shorter, lower test level men) about their masculinity and they make up for it by buying luxury goods, which is an alternative expression of masculinity (think expensive whiskies and fine taste).

It of course doesn’t affect women because they aren’t threatened, and it doesn’t affect men who are already physically masculine because they’re secure there.

And now I wonder if you can run variations:

1. Have some well dressed guy in a suit lead underdressed buff guys buy clothing because they’re insecure about their appearance

2. Have skinny women lead more overweight women to buy health products that promote weight loss

finding there is a rare variant that I need but has the same part number as the common one.

That's usually because the replacement is a drop-in compatible replacement; otherwise the part number would also have changed. Note that sometimes this also means a few other parts need to be replaced with new versions too, and if so that would be something mentioned in a service change bulletin (unfortunately rarely available, in contrast to service manuals.)

People are already working on that, and there are current reversing projects underway for both Xilinx -7 series chips as well as Lattice ECP-series chips. FPGAs tend to have long lifespans anyway, and the ICE series seems to have no indication of going away soon. Nobody is standing still here.

Besides, I'd argue the biggest problem isn't even reversing the chips, but it's recreating all the useful middleware outside of the chip that will take a long time (e.g. ChipScope alternatives, interactive floorplanners, etc). A lot of this isn't even vendor-specific work, it's just a huge effort. On top of the effort of already writing synthesizers and routing descriptions for VTR...
The article is also just fluff.

The central premise is that paradoxes allow us to change our way of thinking.

Some examples: can't find your glasses because you can't see without them; can't make coffee because you need coffee to wake up in order to make it; how can you be intolerant of intolerance etc.

They then describe the barber paradox and some of Zeno's paradoxes. How the barber paradox informs us how important it is for us to define things and set limits. And how Zeno's paradoxes led us to calculus.

They then say that they resolve their paradoxes by having a place they put their glasses, setting up the coffee machine the night before, and hating the sin, not the sinner.

And that's pretty much it. Over a thousand words to say that she's a tolerant person who hates intolerance.

Maybe focus on the content?

Any disparity is just on this single sentence: "your appetite increases" (as opposed to "their" or "one's").

"Their" as used across the comment is not meant as the plural possessive. It's instead used as a gender-neutral pronoun (a common use) to avoid repeating "one's" or using "his/hers".

It, in "your appetite increases and it's more likely to overeat" etc., refers to the situation/possibility (as in "If they sky's cloudy it's more likely to rain"). It is normal to use different pronouns to refer to different entities.

Finally, the "we" at the end is perfectly fitting. It's a generalization, beyond what each individual does.

Interesting. I am marrying my fiancée in less than a month, so I've had time to think about this. I would have loved to take her name, but in the end, we decided that both will carry my name. Basically for this reason:

> In medieval England, men who married women from wealthier, more prestigious families would sometimes take their wife’s last name, says Stephanie Coontz, a professor of marriage and family history at Evergreen State College. From the 12th to the 15th century, Coontz told me, in many “highly hierarchical societies” in England and France, “class outweighed gender.”

It's not that I am particularly high-born; in fact, I think her family would count as much more high-status than mine. But her family name is very ordinary, and my surname sounds royal and is spelled in a very old-style aristocratic way. I strongly believe this has given me opportunities I would not otherwise have gotten, and it's something we both think it'd be foolish to give up.

How is what you do any different?

Paradoxes can change how we reason. Being able to think about them allows oneself to refine an understanding to a static context of parts. Once that is complete, a paradox can be resolved by defining a logic of which no paradox arises, and testing it to ensure that, which is still NP hard to prove but, for real life, some people just like to make points and feel smart and talk about things they maybe never got to talk about before.
