Trojan malware: The hidden cyber threat to your PC
I'm not sure if my use case was clear or perhaps I don't understand what the scenario you present does.

Say I want to comment on a news article and need to register. I don't want random-newspaper.com to have anything directly related to my person, including anything @mydomain.com. So I quickly punch in random-email@mailinator.com to register and once I'm done I can either forget the site and email ever existed or keep using it since it's non critical and losing access to it doesn't matter.

Ideally I would have different email addresses for every site so I can keep those identities separated and free of any personal information. Last time I used it like this was probably a decade ago because since then more and more sites starting rejecting @mailinator.com addresses. I found another such solution that I have been using for the past years but this is also going the same way (not a big issue yet).
But as the parent says, these can be applied after-the-fact (in most modern movie players it's called "night mode"). This doesn't mean the original recording has to be shipped with deteriorated sound.

In a way, loudness compression is like a hash function: the operation itself is largely mechanical, but destroys information in the process. Shipping with good-quality audio should be the default, and let compression be applied on playback. In fact, most home theatre systems already do sound post-processing in the form of room correction anyway (Audyssey, Dirac), so why not the let player do the compression?

By "mismatch" I believe that an analyst using statistical methods would typically not consider themself to be a scientist or doing scientific development.

I agree that "science" can be a broad term - I gave the example of engineering as a branch of science. But what use is there to describe 28% of the respondents as doing scientific development if only (say) 6 percent of the people would describe themselves as doing scientific development?

Also, is there nothing else to scientific development besides data analysis or machine learning?
There's no doubt that a publisher who can convince its readers to subscribe should absolutely do that. The problem is that outside of NYT, WaPo, and WSJ and niche or special interest publications, subscription rates are far, far lower.

The accessibility and ubiquity of the big names are creating a winner take all scenario. The buzzfeeds, along with traditional regional and local newspaper media, are forced to fight for national advertising income which is becoming less lucrative and more obtrusive by the year. Advertisers have all of the leverage.

Long story short, most for-profit general news media media is in a bad place with no way out.

> I do wonder how you create type-safe config files though

The types help prevent erroneous config declarations.

e.g

```

enum LogLevel {

Info = "info",
Debug = "debug"

}

const MyConfig = {

logOptions: {

level: LogLevel.Debug

}

};

```

And since we serialise `MyConfig`, the config has to be transpiled by Typescript.

Everything is hard when you don't have editor support and good diagnostics. Don't blame YAML because you prefer to use Notepad.exe

However, missing/extra whitespace is not "hard". You would be docked points in an English paper and you should be docked points as a programmer.

So, whitespace aside... Tell me what is easier to edit without built-in syntax support: JSON, or YAML?

If we define "easy" as "how long it takes to complete a task" or "how quickly you can grok the structure of a given block of code", then YAML beats out JSON every time.
> In every way we can measure, our search engine is the best it’s ever been.

To take a quote from Jeff Bezos, "The thing I have noticed is when the anecdotes and the data disagree, the anecdotes are usually right. There's something wrong with the way you are measuring it." Metrics are important, but metrics definitely aren't everything.

Yes, Python don't have anything over Perl that makes it compete with the likes of Go etc.

A good question here is what "fate" means.
It is already not being selected as the language of choice in many of the areas it "took over" from Perl.
If that is the case then it’s a sad outcome and it shows political overreach.
Defer also encourages the unsafe behavior of not checking error results. You can't propagate errors from it. About the best you can do is wrap whatever function you were deferring in another function, and then panic if there is an error.
I don't get the problem with using a turing complete language to generate configuration. There's nothing wrong with maintaining and refactoring a program, that's a natural process for any program. If you don't want an infinite loop, don't write one, as you wouldn't in any other program. You can choose as much or as little abstraction as you so wish.

Give me a real language any day over dhall or jsonnet.

> it's as bad or worse than XML for config files

Let's agree to disagree here. No human should ever write XML. No human should ever be forced to read it.

YAML is very readable and writable if you stay away from the corners. Templating allows you to stay clear of the corners (the 1 char operators that concatenate stuff, b64 stuff and so on).

Dhall appears to be expressive enough that I can't see why you wouldn't have to refactor and maintain the Dhall code?

Writing Dhall code look exactly like programming to me, and the programmer must possess the necessary programming skills to produce good Dhall code. A random guy with a text editor will make an equal mess in Dhall as they would with a “real” programming language.

I don't see how the restrictions in Dhall really help much in this regard. Turing completeness feels like a red herring to me.

As a native speaker: Generally no, but it depends.

The "t" in "Rat" is pronounced much harder than the "d" in "Rad" is. BUT: The more and more you go into the north of Germany, lets say Hamburg for example, they have a very similar pronouncing of "t" and "d". Both often sound very hard (more like an "t"). Whereas people in the south tend to pronounce both letters more soft, like a "d".

But in general they are pronounced differently.

Not a user of Dhall, just a fan, but refactoring of Dhall configuration should be extremely easy. You make a change, and your configuration stays the same, which is easy to verify. (Thanks to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalization_property_(abstra... )

For TC languages, comparing if two programs (original and refactored) do the same thing is not solvable in general. If the language is not TC then it is more feasible.

I read about other flying boat - Boeing-314. It seems that it was basically 74 first class equivalent passengers and it was very expensive in its time. Converting it to cattle-class economy maybe could push it to 100-120 or so passengers. It would still be very expensive due to inefficient flight profile and high fuel consumption. Limited routes too. They are very pretty though, I'm not denying that.

Social-Democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism. There is no ground for assuming that the fighting organisation of the bourgeoisie can achieve decisive successes in battles, or in governing the country, without the active support of Social-Democracy… These organisations do not negate, but supplement each other. They are not antipodes, they are twins.

It's not just about dynamics. The GH version has significantly more bass.

Compression can do that, but it's also possible multiband compression was used to make the bass louder so it would be more obvious ("more exciting"...) on a typical home audio system.
> Probably it's good to know that it doesn't matter, just so that you feel less fearful and tend to speak more, even wrong....

Native German speaker here: I disagree with all the sentiment of "less fear". Better concentrate on your ability to formulate grammatically correct sentences.

In school, I often felt that the German grammar works somewhat like a mathematical proof system (and asked myself why German grammar is not part of math classes). When studying mathematics, you first have to learn to write correct proofs. It makes no sense to try learn something more deep in mathematics if you have difficulties writing elementary proofs.

For German, it is the same: first learn the internal structure (grammar) of the language (just like predicate logic in mathematics) and just like thinking how to express something that you want to prove in predicate logic, find out how to formulate something in German's grammatical structure.

Only after this elementary step, you can begin with more complicated things.
I personally don't believe in "it's up to you", "just exercise self-control". I have phases where I'm fat and after years of being fat, something clicks and I will lose weight extremely fast (intermittent fasting mainly, diet + sports later), and I tend to fall out of those phases & habits at some point. Then I get fat again, and at some point, it clicks again and I start losing again. It's loosely coupled to mental health for me, but that might be different for everybody.

What helps me: identify circumstances and substances that make me eat too much (no alcohol, no thc), avoiding overly stressful days on the job (no, I won't finish this tonight and sustain myself on snickers bars), and medication. I know a few people who slowly sank into depression and never realized that the way they are feeling isn't "the normal state". Medication (legal or otherwise) can help in those instances - it does for me.

It might for you, too. Speak to your doctor about it, and don't be afraid of drugs. Side-effects are shit, but it sure beats sitting in the corner for three years contemplating suicide until you one day magically wake up and get better.
Another thing: alcohol, sugar & other drugs are often used to self-medicate.

God, I sound like a big pharma shill, but I really mean it.

We created higher level languages to reduce time spent coding. We wouldn't be using assembly.

It appears that we think about different terms when visualizing what "incompetent" means.

We create languages to tackle different sets of problems, and we want to minimize human error - that part, I believe, we can agree on.

However, if you perform "SELECT * FROM mytable" (table grows indefinitely) and then sort / limit in the language and not database - you're incompetent, you simply lack knowledge and you didn't even think abstractly what can happen by doing so. There's no language out there that can teach you "right tool for the job" or "keep it simple" or "should I do it, maybe there's another way, did someone else have this problem?", no matter what wizard creates it.

We will never weed out incompetent people by creating languages and a language shouldn't cater to a moron.
I just do not understand the fascination with Laravel. When the first version of Laravel was released Symfony was already lightyears ahead.

The only thing Laravel had going for it was that you could take more shortcuts, and it was a pain to integrate into any IDE if you wanted decent autocompletion.

The way most people go wrong in weight loss is that they think of it in terms of problem-solution. I’ll do X thing, then problem Y will be solved and I can go back to regular life. This will never work.

You need to instead completely change your mindset and identity. Start by getting rid of the notion that you’re “someone who’s been overweight your whole life.” It keeps you thinking that any changes are temporary and that the “real you” is overweight and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Just skimmed through it, and most of this seems to revolve around hardening, not performance, and most of the hardening seems questionable at best. Some of the headers that is suggested have some implications that aren't really explained at all. Like HSTS including sub-domains.

And you don't set the `default_server` as this document suggest. `default_server` is a parameter to the `listen`-directive. The only reason the docs might work is because the first server-block defined, when no-one is defined as `default_server`, becomes the default server.

server {
listen 80 default_server;
return 444;
}

This will close the connection and log it internally, for any domain that isn't defined in Nginx.

Edit: Shout-out to #nginx on FreeNode, where you'll always find someone to point you i the right directing or help you out.
I don't know much about modern reactors but I suspect even 3rd gen ones will still require immense shielding of a cabin and will be single contour design, meaning that exhaust will be irradiated, maybe less so than on prototypes from cold war. And as I remember soviet Tu-95LAL that did flew with a reactor did so WITHOUT any significant shielding for the crew.
Partially anecdotal:

The problem with hiring is from what I've seen not due to ageing population. Instead, due to very protective employment regulation employers in Sweden are absurdly slow and picky when hiring. Resulting in a very large temp staffing sector. They are also surprisingly conservative in expectations.

Contrasting anecdotal rant:

In 2014-2018 I was trying to help a Swedish company get a tech dev project going. They needed to bring in about five experts. For years this project was delayed until it was no longer relevant, because they had a pointlessly limited view on who they needed to hire, at what cost and under which structure. They would not accept a 15% salary increase above their opinion of the norm, and neither a distributed project nor a collaborative partner network construct. This loss of opportunity was huge for them.

During the same time I was staffing, running, and completing two projects in Switzerland, total of 25ppl. No issues, quick handling, excellent outcome. The Swiss investors understood that it's ok to run a project distributed across five countries and pay an extra 20-50% if it's difficult to find good people locally in a given field. Skill and speed is more important than location, cost, surname, language[2], etc.

This is not the only such situation I've come across in Sweden. I work as an R&D consultant specialised in setting up and running distributed collaborative high risk tech projects. Despite being a native Swede it's easier for me to run projects in Switzerland than in Sweden. Kind of sad.

For your second point:

For skilled immigrants (stem university degree) the situation is quite good.

From what I've heard, 2nd-3rd generation immigrants and onward tend to outperform the "native" population. This may change in Sweden after the large influx of unskilled refugees in the last 20-30 years, vs the predominantly work based immigration of 1950-1980s.

Statistically [1]: Sweden has one of the highest gaps in unemployment between European and non-European unskilled immigrants. If you're uneducated you _really_ should migrate to somewhere else if you _ever_ want to get a job.
