The automation charade
That's funny. I might have to try it at some point!
This, so much this.

The skew to web applications rather than websites for tooling has been very disappointin and myopic view of what a 'website' is.

It would make sense if I could give it a root URL and then a robot progressively ran tests over a month and then reported back, but one URL is a drop in a vast ocean for most of us.
> this was actually a substantial barrier to me improving my German

I live in a foreign country and this rings true for me as well. It's just so much easier to use English.

And this isn't even a country where 'English education' is something that is amazing (Thailand).
Bake it? I do this with bread, for exactly the same reasons.
> no way for the pilots to know if there's a problem with the AoA data

Just to clarify, with two AoA sensors, you can know that there is a problem (if they disagree), but you don't know which one is erroneous.

What I find surprising about this crash is that even if there's an indication of unreliable readings, the automation proceeds to actively do stuff - I thought Boeing philosophy was to hand everything to the pilots in such a case.

> I'd suggest that if this scenario is at all close to what transpired those pilots didn't have a chance.

Yeah, absolutely devastating. In the time they had, how were they supposed to diagnose that error condition (automatic down trim), given that a) it sneakily recurs every now and then, and b) it was not prepared/trained for?

A lot of people typically have a "Where's the proof?" wrt UFOs. However, there is Dr Steven Greer who in 2001 fronted a 'Disclosure Project' in which many people from positions of authority (eg FAA chiefs, Tower operators, Military pilots, etc) stated quite clearly on National Press Club in Washington their testimony on UFO's. [0]

Since then, he's been often quoted as saying that there's such an abundance of proof that it's embarrassing. He has video and other testimonies from world leaders, and often sits down with heads of state advising them, and now has hundreds of testimonies from verifiable people in the military industrial complex testifying to the authenticity of their existence, as well as the massive deliberate misinformation systems put into place to control the UFO 'story'. [1]

I'd recommend watching his documentaries, Sirius and Unacknowledged [2][2b]

We developed our own representation of this in Slack. It's just a tool to optimise throughput but you're right, you need to be able to represent it and surface failures early. For us these are separate builds, chained together with fan out and fan in.

Parallelizing within a test suite / build is a whole other thing and yes, there be dragons.
Its unclear from the article and the Guardian article it references exactly what is happening.

Setting up an EBT is a common way that worker coops are set up - for a worker coop its one member one vote and the equity is split equally between th emembers / cooperators

Its not clear if they are converting to a worker coop or not unless the workers control the trust its not a coop.

One of the benefits of an EBT is tax advantages especially if the coop gets taken over - preferably not mondraggon :-)

Tracking Down Exposed Kubernetes Instances in the Wild
A genuinely sad moment for me.
PhD by publication is usually an (unofficial, unadvertised) option in many UK/Australian universities. If you published four or five good papers, that would more than fulfil the requirements for the degree (if the university technically requires you to write a thesis, at that point you just bind your four papers together and call it a thesis).

At least in Australia, you need to begin a PhD before, or at least very close to, when you start working on this stuff. So if you go this route, make sure you talk to an interested professor+university before you go off for a few years and work on stuff. The reason being is that universities get a large award from the government when students complete a PhD, and so all of the work you publish has to be “part of” your degree - you can’t bring a large amount of work along from elsewhere.
Possibly its not clear mentioning John Lewis is a bit of a warning flag - JL being the black sheep of the uk coop movement.
Their advice isn't perfect but that doesn't mean I won't pay attention to it. Memory use and leaking isn't really covered in their page speed advice anyway, which is mostly about server side caching, image optimisation, css / js delivery.

If there's any other decent page speed assistance I'd love to see it.
Thanks Buddy :)
Cloudflare also has DNS over TLS that you can enable in the Settings, which is probably what everyone should be using anyway.

How could you omit Bach and Comer? (-:
Thing is, bangs are for people who don't use launchers (Alfred, LaunchBar, QuikSilver, Launchy, Gnome Do, Unity Dash, etc.) with web search functions. To redo a search for me: Cmd-Space, Up, Return. To add a bang to a failed DDG search: click in a search bar, make sure the whole search text isn't selected so it won't be replaced, remember which bang I want, type it in, return.

Those who don't use launchers outnumber us greatly, of course. But by virtue of being able to specify an alternative search engine using the same efficient keyboard commands as everything else, bangs aren't much more than a pain in the butt.

Even putting launchers aside, not every DDG user is going to use bangs to get results from another site. I'm sure many, as I, have the muscle memory to bring up google.com in the flash of an eye, whereas awkwardly clicking in a search bar to type in a bang surely can't be used by even the majority of DDG users.

(Of course, I don't have data to back me up, but say DDG became as ubiquitous as Google, this would be unquestioned. All the users' habits in organisations where Qwant is set as the default could make an interesting data set — except, of course, it wouldn't be possible to track who used what)

tl;dr: Bangs are too inefficient and usage must be too inconsistent to use as the basis of improving the results.
All good points in response, I hadn't thought this through.

- You need to be able to unlock their device without their knowledge to view the DNS logs.

- Therefore you know their PIN or have your fingerprint loaded (as I do on my partner's phone and vice versa).

- Therefore you can just install [any other tracking malware] and hide the icon in a folder somewhere. And now you don't have a VPN icon in the toolbar.

But does [any other tracking malware] actually exist for iOS?
Seems to me that, despite our best efforts, we have been unable to avoid falling into yet another Thucycides trap.
The aliasing rule isn’t symmetric: you can access objects originally declared as types other than char using char pointers, but you can’t access objects originally declared as char using non-char pointers. (And malloc()ed buffers are neither of the above and have their own rule.) Here’s a blog post explaining it in more detail:

You're going to have to upgrade your firmware anyway, so why not upgrade to something that actually cares about basic functionality?

Some people unused to open source solutions sometimes have this idea that all software developed by enthusiasts by necessity is hard to use or require tinkering, but that's not a fair picture. When developers share your interests, that's when software gets usable. That interest might not always be UI, but sometimes it is.

OpenWRT (and friends!) is clearly much easier to use and delivers richers functionality than any of the software it replaces. If your router is listed as supported, go for it.
> This is part of an unsettling trend where companies prefer to keep users in the dark about the underlying tech of their products

I think for a variety of reasons you cannot equate Boeing with, dunno, tech startups and IoT makers. The history, culture, and regulatory environment in commercial aviation is very different from "normal consumer tech". (In other words, even if there were a superficial similarity here, it would not constitute part of or evidence for some sort of overarching trend affecting both normal consumer trend and commercial aviation.)
Not if its a coop.

> And I wouldn't call something like templates 'one little thing'.

Agreed. But templates aren't the one little thing, they're something you said would be 'next'. The 'one little thing' is a way to replace the GOTOs used for releasing resources. I think it's an easy argument that when people are repeatedly building a pattern out of GOTO, there's a gap in the control flow tools that a language gives you.
Perhaps there is less competition? While we (most Swedes) might be fluent, and actually really really good, I would also assume that it takes a lot to get over the last hump (the accent) which I honestly haven't heard many Swedes do.

I think it is a fair argument on its own, but I would assume that the vast majority of Swedish singers actually sing in their native tongue (with the same going for any country). In addition, I also have the feeling that many don't actually care enough to become worldwide stars.

I know I wasn't. Every time I try DDG, I immediately switch back to Google. DDG returns utter garbage when I try to do searches whose terms mix two or more languages; considering I study literary translation and am learning a few languages at the same time, this is fairly common.

I've a feeling that a lot of DDG users must be changing their search habits to suit DDG's engine, but I and plenty of others just can't.

I wanted to give my thoughts Gary Vaynerchuck since I read some comments about him here. Yeah, he's super extra and too much for a lot of people. That's just kind of the way he is, or maybe more accurately, the way he has become. He's a showman, but with credentials.

People kind of get the wrong image of him since they tend to hear only the 'hustle' stuff of working your ass off for a few years on some project. But he has a ton of other advice too, and much more "sensible" ones at that. Not too long ago he changed his eating habits, lost weight and promoted healthy living. I believe he's also put emphasis on getting enough sleep. He's said multiple times that he knows a lot of people who make 50k a year and are happier than many millionaires. I think he usually gives the "eat shit and work hard" type of advice to people who are asking him for a formula to success on their business. And it is true, you have to work hard to achieve something exceptional.

Talking about 'hustle', I think it really depends how you define it in the first place. You can do a bad, BS hustle by working to get Internet points and validation from strangers on social media. Or even worse, do something to con people out of their money. To me a positive hustle is putting in constant work, not being afraid to sell and market your stuff, and most importantly, starting before you are ready.

I'm not a zealot of the Vaynernation but I have found some of his messages helpful. One of his key principals is to document your journey. I love this idea and I've recently gotten over the fear of doing it myself, posting VLOGs and doing things more publicly using my real name (you can search this username and find out more). Another message is that "you could die tomorrow". Sure, this is a bit dramatic and cliche, but it did give me courage to push on with doing some things that I might have procrastinated on.

Overall, I find Gary's content useful for the most part, especially his insights on social media. If you just know him from 'hustle hustle' type of things, I suggest you try to dig a bit deeper to his videos and blogs. He does know his stuff.

All things in moderation.

There is an extreme amount of entitlement and apathy in the US today as well.

So while extreme "hustle culture" is bad, and working yourself to death is very bad, the idea that you might have to "work Saturdays" in your 20's to get ahead also should not be considered an "extreme" position.

But to many people working even 40 hours a week is considered "too much work", being away from facebook for more than 2 hours is a burden, etc.

I don’t mean to evangelise too hard, but this is yet another reason to keep kratom legal in the US. Last I knew, over 30% of the world’s kratom is consumed by the US, and most of that is from Indonesia, specifically Borneo. Kratom is an understory crop that can be cultivated without clear-cutting as is done for palm oil; and if kratom growers can’t afford to stay in business because the US demand dries up, you can bet they’ll turn to palm oil and rubber, leading to more deforestation and more habitat loss for orangutans. This is in addition to what I believe is clear potential for kratom to be instrumental in fighting the epidemic of opioid painkiller and heroin abuse.
> limit my kid from seeing any ads

I'm not sure if complete abstinence is good. I see my parents struggle with ads sometimes. They grew up as farmers in a rural enviroment with only a black and white TV (with 2 state channels). They seem unable to distinguish ads from proper content (unless it's obviously an ad), or they see ads as a kind of honest product documentation.
Nope, you still formally sign up like a standard PhD student but will organize your thesis as a series of published and peer-reviewed papers, instead of the standard format, at the normal end of your PhD program. There is neither an accelerated path nor a diy option because the PhD is strictly meant as training time in the UK, much more like an apprenticeship than autonomous contribution.
