I used to teach swimming, I had a class where an 81 year old woman sign up for the 8 week course, while she didn't have the mobility to do front or breast stroke she became very comfortable floating on her back and doing very slow widths of the pool, its never too late.
I also have a work colleague in his late 50's who only learned to swim four years ago and completed an Ironman last year.
I would recommend signing up for course of 1:1 weekly lessons with a certified coach, and practicing between the lessons, you'll be amazed what 16 hours over 8 weeks would do for you.
I have 4 different Alexa devices on 2 different accounts. Developed an IoT-Solution for some devices. Was really fun and I really liked developing against Alexa. Amazon also has some neat solutions for user management and overall AWS services are pretty extensive. Would recommend.

That said, I never ever would use Alexa or Alexa-capable devices at home and I doubt many users will use the IoT-functions of the devices in question. It is mostly for marketing to have a voice-interface. But the development was still very fun.

> Especially since there's no technical reason for speech recognition to require cloud connectivity

Never opened the boxes but I think Alexa devices are cheap w-lan capable microphones with very basic speakers and software.

Having a lot of samples definitely helps for voice recognition. And you need some processing power, additionally to as much memory as you can press into that box.

What? No. That's not the TL;DR at all.

AES in XTS mode wasn't performant enough. Speck in XTS mode was a candidate, but it had a very dubious background.

So, instead they developed construct based on existing trusted primitives that is faster than both AES-XTS and Speck-XTS on the target hardware.
Interesting. Since someone from rainway is in the thread:

how much is captured? what happens if someone on the pc alt+tabs into another window or kicks the game out of full-screen?

Can we bio-engineer seaweed which doesn't decompose and can't be eaten?

Its not a joke - these were the circumstances of early Earth, before microbes evolved to digest lignin and cellulose. Trees would fall and not decompose, eventually being compressed into coal.

> Yes, that's "security by dramatization". ;-)

I'm not entirely sure what you mean here, are you poking fun at people who put state-level actors in their threat models? Because for some of us, the choice is between ignoring attacks from state-level actors and figuring out ways to mitigate the attacks, there is no third option where the state-level actors do not attack us.

> I just feel triggered by this security absolutism where everything is shit, and unless you're doing an offline multi-way key generation with subsequent physical destruction of the equipment used, you should just shut up and not release software.

Honestly? I feel you've described my complaints with your argument. Security is a matter of degrees, threat models, evaluating likelihoods and potential severity of attacks, weighing the cost of prevention against the cost and likelihood of a successful attack.

The fact is that curl|sh has a lot of problems that a .deb and src .deb signed by some random developer's key doesn't have. It's not some kind of black-and-white world where curl|sh is inexcusable, it's just a world where on the sliding scale of security versus convenience, some of us think curl|sh is just a little too insecure for what little convenience it provides. I would get a headache trying to write the kind of shell script that makes a cross-distro curl|sh work at all.

> But the choice is not really between "curl|sh pi-hole" and "pi-hole in a well-known package archive, with signature". It's "curl|sh pi-hole or no pi-hole at all".

The third choice is to clone the Pi Hole repository from GitHub and build that.
I think this is just one of those memes, like Vim being difficult to exit. It's OK for banter but not to be taken seriously.

Vim itself has many corded commands which I find are especially useful in Insert and Ex mode.

As a long time Vim user I know I'll probably never move to another editor like Emacs. That's because of familiarity with Vim and not because of any failing with Emacs shortcuts.
Using pure red light for the night is a good idea, since it doesn't decrease our eye's ability to see in darkness. That's why it is used in submarines too (if the electricity is cut, night vision of the eye is already fully functional).

A bit more detail: the rods in our eyes responsible for night vision need ~45 mins of darkness for full adaptation (though some night vision is achieved after a few minutes already). Light disrupts this adaptation - but not red light! So with only red light on, both the night-vision rods and the red-sensitive cones are active the same time.

Did someone mention the Apocalypse?

Chapter 7

“they are before the throne of God
and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne
will shelter them with his presence.
16 ‘Never again will they hunger;
never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat down on them,’
nor any scorching heat.
17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne
will be their shepherd;
‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’
‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”

Chapter 11

The nations were angry, and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your people who revere your name, both great and small-- and for destroying those who destroy the earth

It's missing the part of the frame connecting the rear wheel's axel to the that of the pedals, often referred to as the "chain stay". Without this the seat stay (rear forks) would snap under the rider's weight.
To me it feels like the number of sources of information has grown exponentially in the past 10 years. So unless you're talking about a service that more or less locks you in (like a mail provider that you can't easily switch) you can find the same information on dozens of sites. Just pick one that either has reasonable ad practices or one that accepts adblockers.
No matter where you put that wall, there's a chance something on the other side of it will need servicing.

I'm sure the facility that makes nuclear warheads has an electronics inspection x-ray. If they need maintenance on that, you'd expect him/her to have a detailed background check, and to be shown as little of the facility as possible, and not to be allowed to leave with USB memory sticks or suchlike.

Of course, who knows how many facilities really need that level of security, and how often it's paranoia or theatre?
Why? I've been running pi-hole on the home network for over 2 years already, and indeed sometimes I get complaints about shopping sites not working, but there is always an alternative site that does work so we order there instead. Just last week it even saved us money because it turned out a different site had the same product at a significantly lower price.

Apart from a few non-important edge cases literally every major site works without problems with a pi-hole. I think 'simply stop using sites that refuse to work unless they can track you' is a very valid and workable solution.

We know that there are a number of homeostatic (self-regulating) processes that affect the proportion of CO2 in the atmosphere; if it wasn't homeostatic it would have drifted off to an extreme long ago. The key question is how well and how rapidly these mechanisms can respond to an increase in CO2 levels.
> who knows, that is irrelevant in some sense.

Exactly, that is why you should not waste your time reading such gloom and doom predictions unless that person is confident enough to put money on the line.
Security incident disclosure
Startup time is a non-issue for both Vim and GNU Emacs on modern hardware. (It was not ever so: I remember first meeting Emacs under DOS on a 20MHz 386. It was not speedy.)

Perhaps another underrated issue affecting relative uptake is keyboard layout.

As the OP explained, Berkeley vi was originally developed on an ADM-3A tty, with no arrow keys and the "Esc" key where a modern keyboard would position the "Tab" key.

In contrast, Emacs first appeared in anything like its modern form on LISP machines, which had a radically different keyboard layout from a modern PC or Mac — much less austere, lots of modifier keys (not just Ctrl and Alt, but Meta, Super, and Hyper as well!), and an Esc key tucked out of the way at the top left, as is standard today. Here's s photo: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9a/Symbolic...

If you consider the ergonomics of typing lots of Ctrl- and Meta- keystrokes on the Symbolics keyboard above, it's fairly clear that it requires a lot less hand stretching to play those chords in the key of Emacs. So it was a cheap design choice for the original Emacs folks to take that route — but every time I've tried to spend serious time in Emacs over the past 30 years on a PC or Mac keyboard, I've ended up with stabbing pains in my wrists within a week (and I will note that back in the 1990s FSF programmers were notorious for always wearing wrist splints).

The basic vi commands can all be executed from the main QWERTY keyboard area, plus the Enter, Ctrl, and Esc keys. If the position of Esc really bugs you, you can rebind it to the Caps Lock key on your keyboard (depending on hardware support, of course). The point is, there's far less chording involved.

So my working hypothesis is that vim is gaining leverage due to selection bias for an editor that hurts the hands less when you use it intensively on an IBM PC-descended keyboard layout rather than a Symbolics keyboard. But "less pain in wrists" is not something we spot easily, so a whole load of post-hoc justifications get invoked to explain the preference.
Ok let me be very honest here, let's look at both editors learning curves

- vi/vim

You need to learn to open a file, edit it, move around and exit and the edit/view mode. Everybody learns how to do it. At first it sucks but you can learn this in 5 min.

Nothing too hard, and yes, do use the direction keys, it's not the 70s anymore.

From there you can learn other things

- Emacs

You try reading anything about it, there's something about Meta key (and apparently nobody can say what the actual meta key is without some wrangling from them because who knows if you're not coding on a Sun Sparc from the 90s so they don't want to compromise).

Then something about a "prefix command" C-x (what is C? Control? Which other program uses C as an abbreviation for that?) Buffers. What's a buffer?

I tried opening the help of both programs, VIM shows exactly what I mentioned there. Move around, close this window, etc

Emacs? I'll copy-paste here (key bindings help)

> C-x Prefix Command

> \200 .. ÿ encoded-kbd-self-insert-ccl

> C-x 8 iso-transl-ctl-x-8-map

Why the F is this relevant or useful?

Then I try to quit and it's a bit of a wrangle until it gets Ctrl-C Ctrl-X right (or the other way)

Everything seems like it's actively fighting the user, and making it more difficult or convoluted than it should.

Usability problems are never the fault of the user.
Wasn't that because of the draft, though? That counts as "major" since you're being shipped off to be killed. But how likely is a new Vietnam? US involvement in wars doesn't require a draft anymore...

My point, inequality itself is rarely the trigger. It needs to pass a limit, usually threatening livelihood. And it needs to be super widespread (think 20%+ of the population).
I stopped playing google's stupid games. Unless I really must visit a site, the first sight of those retarded "discover all" things just makes me close the tab.
As far as I understand, 'project_commits' and 'commits' have one-by-one relationship (project_commits.commit_id = commits.id). From my point of view it is a strange design since they could just add 'project_id' column into 'commits' table. 'project_commits' table seems to be redundant here.

I'd write this query:

select pc.project_id, date_format(c.created_at, '%x%v1'), count(*)
from commits c
join project_commits pc
on c.id = pc.commit_id
group by pc.project_id, date_format(c.created_at, '%x%v1')

And I'd use left join only at the stage when it is needed to join 'projects' dictionary with the result of the query.
Why go straight to corporal punishment rather than any of the other non-custodial solutions like electronic tagging? Or is the brutality part of the point?

Rip is where there is a current taking you out and people try to swim in against it, get exhausted and drown. The solution is to swim parallel to the shore until you get to beyond the rip

I hope you didn't get me wrong: 1,30PLN is just for ATM withdrawals below 100PLN. You can still pay for stuff with card free of charge (all 3 ways - magnetic stripe, chip or contactless; tho, I won't be surprised if they will start charging fees for card operations in the future).

The stigma is internal I know.

This is great, and educational too! After playing quite a few rounds, I noticed I wasn't played any of the more esoteric categories such as '(free)tek(k)no' and 'french house' — seemed to most commonly fall on the bigger categories. Perhaps this is to be representative of the music landscape, but I fear that people won't hear enough of the lesser categories in order to learn from them.

I had fun, but one small criticism would be to speed up the time between rounds. The music quiz on the original iPod was a favourite time-waster of mine as a kid, and that was so addictive because it was quick to move to the next song.

Finally, if anyone is interested in a video walkthrough to the different electronic genres, this video helped me out immensely a couple of years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4r0MdBQI6U
Yeah, you get quantity, and lose quality. I've been overbooked few times (so sorry, please fly tomorrow unless we overbook you again, we don't care what this causes for your plans/further travel, and here go through crazy online forms and month-long process just to get those 250 euro you are entitled to by EU law).

Or cancelling flights for 'bad weather' reason, when all other flights departed just fine from the airport - in this case, airline doesn't have to compensate anything (freakin' Easyjet - I realized I am not rich enough and don't have enough extra vacation to use such a crappy random-quality services).
You know, people make bad comparisons all the time.

My favorite one is the electricity sector, especially when it comes to renewable energy: people compare the «amount of energy» produced by a solar plant (kWh), to the «amount of energy» consumed by a household (also in kWh). But this comparison is pointless (as long as we don't have ways to efficiently store electricity power) because there's no way you could supply a household with the electricity the solar plant produce: when the solar plant produces its «energy», the household doesn't consume much (if anything since most people aren't home at day) and when the household consumes electricity, the plant usually doesn't produce much because it's night or close to it. The only useful comparison unit when it comes to an electric grid is «power» not «energy» (as long as we have no storage), yet people uses energy as a comparison all the time …

I highly recommend learning to swim. It's an experience you don't get anywhere else. Just like learning programming though, it's frustrating to start.

I know one guy who couldn't swim, took lessons, and now does scuba diving - which, by the way, is something people should try at least once, it's like floating into another world.
The biggest problem I have with corporal punishment is the same with capital punishment; I could never live knowing a not 100% effective justice system harms or kills innocent people, and I'm supporting it by electing the leaders and paying the money to implement it.

An incarceration focused on rehabilitation rather than punishment is something i think would work a lot better, I could at least stand sending innocent people to such a place.

>Being underground won't protect you from the noise of the mechanisms, but neither do the walls and roof of a train. Being on a train is loud.

More recent trains can be quite protected from mechanism noises. The line I'm taking more often has received brand-new trains and I usually don't hear the noise.

> On some flights they don't even serve drinks anymore (unless you pay). Great recipe for dehydration.

Flights that don't serve free drinks tend to be (at least in my experience) SUPER cheap budget airlines. In the bygone age of luxurious leisurely air travel, you weren't flying from San Francisco to San Diego for $50 or from Paris to Barcelona for 30€.
Humanity is the problem. Address it!

One focus should be on the root cause: The human population is the reason for our environmental problems, all-of-them. And the population growth rate is frightening [0]. It renders any other approach almost impossible to succeed. So even if it is an ethically difficult topic it should be addressed!

The conclusion of this line of thinking could be less human population means less environmental problems and more prospects of success for every other approach to stopping climate change. So why not try to think of ways to incentivise birth control?

Is it really to much to ask to stop producing more than 2 offsprings per family? This would bring population growth down. I'm sure otherwise human future is doomed.

To support this you could install tax reduction for no/one/two child/ren. As any solution has to be globally installed, maybe something similar to emission trading with birth rights. Shrinking countries may need more growth, developing countries might need financial help and so on.

I know this is drastic, but you know the saying... [1]

In history, people allowing one entity to accumulate a lot of power on the basis that they will remain benevolent have almost always be wrong.

Don't assume people at the top have an agenda that are compatible with yours.

The fact we are enjoying a lot of peace and freedom right now should now be a signal for us to relax : democracy is a system that needs maintenance, not some legacy you can claim ad vitam.

It's our duty as a citizen to always doubt the intentions of those in power. Just like it's a flight intendent duty to check that the planes doors safety are engaged again and again. It's not a moral issue. It's just a technical requirement.
