Intriguing anecdote: my sister had a similar square off with acne for many years. She thought it would be life long (roccutane did nothing for her). Then recently, she did a barrage of allergy testing. It turns out she was highly allergic to pretty much everything she ate (onions, lettuce, other shocking things like this). She’s removed the culprits and seen an incredible transformation — still scarred a bit, but so much more confident.

I hope this helps someone else.

I really think that a lack of adversity is a double edged sword. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger and if you don't get to experience your limits you can't tell what things might actually be a threat. And you won't learn the tools needed to face those situations. So you become afraid a of a lot of things that aren't within your immediate comfort zone.

Exercising the situations that we think might be a threat to us in a controlled way might be the best solution.
I made a little clone for fun and got a bit carried away optimising. Now at about 3x the speed of hexyl 0.3.1:

I think I get your drift. We should start by providing healthcare for all by taking it from defense budget.

I see no reason why you couldn't write a poem today with custom-made compound words like "whale-road" and "bone-house."

I agree with you - I suspect that modern english has far more in common with its predecessors than we might think at first. I'm pretty sure I have seen poetry and prose that riffs like that - bolting together nouns in a way that would invite inspection for meaning, some of which might become expected (formulaic) in a way that might be an in-joke or a shared experience or perhaps a description that can be considered a shared pseudo experience ("I know what you mean")

Maybe it would be a little more jarring these days."

We might consider ourselves more sophisticated in some way and yet the term "bone house" does still resonate in some way for me but not in the context of "general term for a body/person". It does work rather well in the context of war/battle/conflict.

Kennings - seems to me to be cognate with "ken" (know). They seem to be designed for inventing nouns for context - a bit like the reverse of the effect of some adjectives. You include the adjective(s) within the agglomerate noun in some way, either explicitly or via convention (think of the imagery around: "bone house")

I love language.

Sorry but saying "Godot is fine, everything else is broken" isn't really acceptable. If I were to start a 3D project only to find out that importing models didn't work in the game engine I chose, I would move on immediately.

In all honesty (without knowing the specifics of what is broken, I've only ever worked on FBX importers), if Godot want to be taken seriously then they need to be able to import without plugins, warts and all.

This feels like, some people that make cool apps decided to get into security, nothing I've read here makes me believe you really had a security hat on as you made this and that worries me.

SSH is one of the most fundamentally critical pieces of a corporate infrastructure, the people I work with would absolutely not stop laughing if I told them this wasn't a joke. If you were selling an open source host-it yourself, support contract type model, I could totally see interest in this, but not a whole lot because if I have a device with a browser, there's a 99% chance it also has a terminal client/emulator.

The next issue here is, you telling everyone you don't log anything is instantly a fail, because if its even _possible_, then it's not good enough.

Saying you don't log anything doesn't matter because you can be compelled to, or you can be intercepted, MiTMd or just plain exploited.

I don't see any value in another thing to pay for every month that by design _decreases_ your security; I already hate the everything as a service for personal use, no problem with it professionally, but SSH needs to keep moving forward not have gaping holes added in the middle.

For personal use I have it solved with a VPN + terminal emulator, or it could be done with a VPS and some open source code.

I'm sorry to be so blunt like other people here, but rather than see this fail I'd like to hope the chorus of opinions here would encourage you to rethink your model and actually make this something secure.

A perfect hash is one in which their are no collisions for a given data set, which guarantees O(1), or constant, lookup time. This patch introduces a perl script which computes a perfect hash function at build time given the current set of SQL keywords.

The old keyword lookup method uses binary search. Binary search is a search algorithm that must compare at most O(log n) entries before finding a match.

Making 1 keyword comparison instead of log n keyword comparisons yields the 20% speedup.

If anything, I’d say that most people in the tech industry in Silicon Valley are brainwashed into thinking that entrepreneurship is the One True Path to salvation.

Much like whoever wrote this article. Who else would recommend that someone follow the path that “led to depression, social isolation, and the hardest time of my life” just because they got lucky in the end?

Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin SV?

The common theme was that they generally inconvenienced, as all had fairly obvious ways one might hypothetically evade them.

The sorts of steps LinuxBender suggests seem more sensible at a cost of being more invasive, it's just a matter of much the company is willing to go before it is impractical. Locking down the BIOS, encrypting the hard drive and isolating the computer in a secure room are the other points I'd expect, but that takes things to different level and it's less about regular employee situations then (so maybe getting off topic?)

Sorry if I was being unclear, the books explains the views much better. The author's want us to avoid the fallacies of emotional reasoning.

Some quotes:
"Sages in many societies have converged on the insight that feelings are always compelling, but not always reliable. Often they distort reality, deprive us of insight, and needlessly damage our relationships. Happiness, maturity, and even enlightenment require rejecting the Untruth of Emotional Reasoning and learning instead to question our feelings. The feelings themselves are real, and sometimes they alert us to truths that our conscious mind has not noticed, but sometimes they lead us astray."

"Beck’s great discovery was that it is possible to break the disempowering feedback cycle between negative beliefs and negative emotions. If you can get people to examine these beliefs and consider counterevidence, it gives them at least some moments of relief from negative emotions, and if you release them from negative emotions, they become more open to questioning their negative beliefs."

The author's of the book don't desire "children's alienation from their feelings.".

Let's take for example a student failing a chemistry test which may lead to anxiety. The student might think, "My life is ruined. I'll never get into college now."

The author's would suggest looking for counter evidence. Is it true everyone who has failed a chemistry test doesn't get into college? No that's ridiculous. Even if you aren't able to get into an Ivy League school, does that mean your life is ruined? No, plenty of people I know have great lives without an Ivy League education.

The book presents mainstream views on cognitive behavioral therapy. Do you think CBT leads to emotionally crippling men?

I don't think this does that well at all. 70% of the stuff on there is textbook "hip and trendy".

If you want to know what to learn, learn web fundamentals. Learn the Web APIs and everything that's been standardized in HTML, CSS and JS. Learn relational databases. Etc. Learn how to build your graphics using SVG. Learn how to do your animations with CSS. Hell, if that's too boring learn WebGL and WebAssembly. They may not be ready, tested or in vogue, but they'll be here for the long haul. Screw libraries that abstract over this stuff. If you don't learn from the ground up you're putting your future career in the hands of things that may end up being ephemeral. Stuff like React, Sass, D3 etc might seem like safe bets, but so did jQuery at one stage.

Just, be aware that your goals as a developer are sometimes at odds with the goals of your employer or even the community as a whole. There's a lot of pressure to get up to speed and be productive as quick as possible. You can see this in things like the React docs, which encourage you to ignore language features and just memorise patterns.

If you go to an individual and tell them they need to “get their act together”, you’re being confrontational. If you make an equivalent statement about a group of people referred to as a third party, it’s not nearly as confrontational. Do you really not see the difference between these?

You probably don’t feel bad saying something like “McDonald’s burgers suck”, but if you tell someone who invited you to a cook-out that their burger sucks, you’re an asshole. Context and audience matter.

And people very much do talk like this is real life. People who understand context and audience can do so just fine.

Parsing SQL is made faster.

Imagine a language with five keywords, for simplicity.

keywords = ["AS", "FROM", "INSERT", "SELECT", "WHERE"];
tokens = [As, From, Insert, Select, Where];

Now you have a token that you need to interpret:

let token_raw = "FROM";
let index = keywords.binary_search(token_raw);
let token = tokens[index];

As a binary search, that’s O(log N) string comparisons. In this worst case, it may try comparing with INSERT, then AS, then FROM before deciding index is 1, but for more keywords you have more comparisons.

With perfect hashing, you devise a single hash function that hashes all possible values uniquely. Now we have something like this:

tokens = {914576: As, 73932: From, 5791456: Insert, 21596: Select, 86548: Where};

… with all the numbers calculated by hashing the strings at compile time. Then, instead of O(log N) string comparisons, you only need one hash and one hash table lookup:

let token_raw = "FROM";
let token = tokens[hash(token_raw)];

> cut freeways across them like big ugly neighborhood-destroying scars.

Not like.

The goal was to destroy neighborhoods--mostly lower socio-economic areas in order to displace the undesirable people away from land that was beginning to appreciate in value.

Freeways are located in very specific spots--close enough to the rich areas to be useful but far enough into the poor areas in order to minimize cost/maximize displacement.
Fascinating.

Some useful stack overflow answers on this topic. First, the trick to get GCC to pass the ORIGIN option to the linker: -Wl,-z,origin.

Secondly, how to pass it as the rpath option:

"-Wl,-rpath,'$ORIGIN' -- note that you need quotes around it to avoid having the shell interpret it as a variable, and if you try to do this in a Makefile, you need $$ to avoid having make interpret the $ as well."

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38058041/correct-usage-o...

The chrpath utility is also fascinating, as it allows you to rewrite the elf headers to change the rpath. Possibly better for installs than passing lots of env variables.

Various warnings on this topic to not use actual relative paths unless you really want that behaviour.
