Sorry, I was trying to reply to the above comment by structuring it in the same way, but making one minor switch to show how severe the issue can be. Trusting a router may not happen, but trusting a keyboard (as you've pointed out) almost always does.
I’m sure there’s a 1000 arguments to be made for/against agile. I also think agile has been spread so much that orgs following the same model could be doing it completely differently in practice.

One thing I don’t see often taken into consideration with agile is pace. Living in a world of never-ending sprints feels like aiming to run a marathon at 400m pace. The mindset of “go go go” favors doing over thinking. The reality is that things can take time to get done, and knowing what you are doing is better than mindlessly doing for the sake of getting a gold star at the end of a 2 week sprint only to spend a later 2 weeks correcting issues, todsing work, or changing course.

It can also be hard to innovate in such conditions. I’ve found that (reasonable) bouts of downtime can be productive in ways to refine/discover things not in the backlog. Sometimes when things are always fast paced there is no stamina left to experiment.

Or you can write a bash script to touch all your *.rs files, and then you can see the warnings fresh.

I'm not a huge fan of that that behavior, but I think it matches how gcc and other compilers behave.
Comparing overwatch to League of Legends, League is sooo much worse, and I don't know why.

Also FWIW the voice you use in OW can cause drama. I've definitely had games where I get flak for my voice - when it was more androgynous often people would want to know my gender.

I've seen people get exploded on for their accents, sounding young, etc.

> the most important feature I'm looking forward to is resource bindings for cryptographic keys,

Given the specificity of your request, I'm guessing you're aware that this feature already unofficially exists, with unlisted-but-googlable documentation. :) As long as you always deploy workers via the API -- never the UI -- then it's safe to use the feature now. If you accidentally edit your script in the UI, the secret bindings might be dropped, since the UI doesn't understand them yet.

> I could simply re-upload every time but I'm not sure if this invalidates any 'hot' worker instances that are already running.

Good news: If you upload exactly the same script, your live workers won't be restarted. This is a side effect of the fact that we use a content-addressable store for scripts. (Similarly, if you go to cloudflareworkers.com and enter the exact same script twice, you'll notice the resulting URL is the same.)

Are you actually observing non-negligible cold start times, though? Usually the cold start time is so low that you can't really tell when it happens.
Wow fascinating story. Gotta read more on Roman history.

LNT is lawyer science, low dose radiation risk (cancer induction) is stochastic. There is already a high prevalence of cancer in society. To protect against possible litigation we eliminate sources as a possible induction points.

However, iff you developed a radiation induced cancer there's very little way to determine if your (mulitple) DNA errors were induced by cosmic rays or that time you walked past a bucket of naturally occurring radiation or due to those flights you took from Colorado to Brazil.

The dose makes the poison, we protect (and waste inordinate amounts of time and money) against low levels -- because we're ignorant to the precise pathways of cancer induction.

Not without notice. Your computer won't connect to a wirless network automatically. So in order for this to work, the USB-device needs the same SSID and key. Then, in order to make it not suspicious (and get your data) you need to actually forward traffic to the internet. Not sure if those devices can repeat.

Emulating an USB ethernet might help you, as those will connect, but without uplink it's still suspicious.
I'm not sure winning/losing and 'enemy' are the right terms to use. I fully agree that all resources should be mobilized towards making terminal illnesses like cancer a thing of the past, but a term like 'enemy' can give a misleading impression of what cancer is. It is not the presence of a consciously malevant force. It is the inability of the body to maintain proper function amidst the chaos of change. Having the correct conceptual framework is important for solving the problem.

75% is a big waste of fuel if you’re trying to cross an ocean. Maximum range is achieved at Vg. I’m told maximum endurance can be had at 76% of Vg, though I haven’t checked the math on that myself so don’t quote me on it. :)

There’s another optimum at the reciprocal, Vg * 1.316, that gets you maximum speed per unit of fuel burned.

A New Kind of Economy–An Interview with Andrew Yang (2018)
Is there any such research done for browser extensions and macOS?
yep. In theory a dotnet project pulling in nuget packages is in the same class as a node project pulling in NPM packages.

In practice, it's tremendously different.

As mentioned, a do-nothing react app has 1500 dependencies, all managed by who-knows-how-many different companies and individuals

A do-nothing aspnetcore app has maybe a few dozen dependencies, and with the exception of Newtonsoft.JSON, all of these are managed and supported by Microsoft.

When you scale that up to a real app, I don't even know what you get with Node/npm? 2500 dependencies? With aspnetcore you probably end up adding 10-20 more dependencies, and some of them are probably written by Microsoft.

So, your "potentially untrustworthy package count" in node is about 2000 packages, whereas for aspnet it's about 10 packages. You can review and pay attention to 10 packages. 2000? Not so much

Aside: A java/maven project probably falls somewhere in between, but closer to the aspnet scenario. Instead of a few dozen dependencies you might have 50, but it's still realistically possible to review them all, and they're far more likely to come from trusted publishers such as the Apache foundation.
I worked on a security team that did this when I left - I taped & signed every USB connection at my desk and checked the signatures every time before I unlocked it.
working on a project in this space now. Definitely hits home - trying to solve problems in this space is important when you read things like this. At times it can be a very demotivating space to tackle because trying to do anything new in this domain is a real slog and for good reason. There are some smart founders and VCs out there, it would be great if more of them decided to spend their time working on more healthcare issues.
I feel the need to point out, in light of you calling this actually existing prototype weapon "comical sci-fi", that when one googles ablative armor, one gets nothing but literal sci-fi.

My employer wanted us to pay upfront and then claim. I was an Indian h1b. One time, they forced me to relocate to another state even though I didn't want to. "I will snip you" was my ex-manager's words when I refused. My moving expenses was about $3500k. I paid everything from my pocket. When I tried to claim, finance team refused to pay and agreed only after a lot of escalations. I finally got the money after about 1.5 months. This plus many other bad experiences made me literally throw away everything and come back to India.

I'm also surprised that others were quick to shoot the hormesis messenger. This is very well established mechanism of action.

Priming DNA repair pathways acts as a protection from further exposures.

However, and this is my take -- there are people in the population that are more sensitive to the sun. These same people are probably more sensitive to ionizing radiation, LNT protects all, including the most sensitive. That being said, it's taken to an extreme, and allows for sensationalism and fear mongering.

Life is a celebration. Every day a gift.

I have a chronic life threatening disease. Side effects from a bone marrow transplant when I was kid.

I recognize the stages of bereavement in others (patients, caregivers, family, friends). The only difference between me and them is I had decades to process my mortality, to learn how to cope. Sort of.

Surviving is a strange gift. Live long enough and you'll see that you're not special, you weren't unlucky. It just happens. None of us get out alive.

The trick is figuring out how to press on, despite the foreknowledge, the futility.

Maybe I'm finally becoming buddhist in my old age.
If someone with cancer gains strength or comfort from using that terminology, I support them. I should have clarified that my beef is with others using those words to describe me or an abstract other.
Yea you can feel this when you work on a team mostly of H1B. Most of them don't speak up and just say yes to whatever project management gives them. Ofcourse upper management loves this, they take all the credit and become the face of the project and if it fails they simply blame it on h1b/contractors ect.

I've seen this many many times in all company sizes over last 15 yrs. I would steer clear of teams where most ppl are h1b indians.

Well no flamin’ poo.

Why do we need study after study that tells that we’re living beings that shouldn’t be consigned to a cage of guilt and shame.

This is stupid. We know what feels good or not, but our barbaric system divorces our natural function from our consciousness - starting in childhood.

Worst part is that we see that we have power to shape the world, but nobody believes that with same power comes the ability to create a comfortable environment for everybody where they can operate without guilt or shame or fear.

What a monstrous machine we’ve created for ourselves.

Death is a construction to make sense of our physical reality.

That's certainly true from an evolutionary point of view.
I think I kind of get the criticism.

When you are told by a doctor that you have a thing and it's a very deadly thing, the psychological component -- for both you and everyone you deal with -- is huge. The specter of death and the battle with it can blot out the sun, so to speak.

My experiences suggest that wresting your identity away from this pattern of thought is life giving and helps people survive in very practical terms.

It's not voodoo magic. It strongly influences the mental models that drive your decision-making process.

When people believe death is inevitable, they tend to make choices that help that become a self-fulfilling prophecy because they believe nothing they do will really matter anyway.

>Stephenson said the containers were stored next to a taxidermy exhibit, where children on tours sometimes stopped for presentations, sitting next to uranium for 30 minutes or more. By his calculation, those children could have received radiation dosages in excess of federal safety standards within three seconds, and adults could have suffered dangerous exposure in less than a half-minute.

>The Nuclear Regulatory Commission measures radiation contamination in millisieverts per hour or per year. According to Stephenson, close exposures to the uranium buckets could have exposed adults to 400 times the health limit — and children to 4,000 times what is considered safe.

“Roadkill on the Information Highway” by Nathan Myhrvold (1994)
I think the "package count" is perhaps a bit of a red herring. IMHO the "publisher count" is more important.

I don't care if there are 700 packages if they all come from the Apache Foundation. I trust the Apache foundation and as such they can be considered one "block" when it comes to reviewing their chance of releasing a malicious/hacked package.

Visual studio is basically ONE package from ONE publisher Internally it's made up of thousands of tiny components, and includes third-party open source software such as Newtonsoft.JSON, but Microsoft is responsible for vetting all that stuff, and they do.

The problem with the JS ecosystem is that many of the packages come from all over the place. For example, create-react-app depends on envinfo which is published by "Trevor Brindle".
It also wants cross-spawn, from "André Cruz", chalk from "Josh Junon", Commander.js from "abe tomo", fs-extra from "JP Richardson", this list goes on and on.

Who are all these people and are they all trustworthy? I don't know, I can't tell, and neither does anyone else, which is the core problem.

Are you actually paying cash? Assuming you're using a credit card, and assuming your company isn't looking to defraud you, using a card with decent cash back makes it a nonissue and "fronting the cash" for expenses is just a way for you to get a kickback from your credit card company for using them as a payment processor for work expenses. (And kind of a net positive relative to if you had a company credit card where the company claims any kickbacks.)
