Docker's concept of base images is quite useful. You can build your application in a convenient container, then copy the resulting binary into a container with nothing else (except SSL certificates and the time zone database, for Go code anyway).

https://gist.github.com/jrockway/cceef8bb5dcef62743f8bcbc044...

I started doing this around the time we started doing vulnerability scanning and now the containers are both tiny and free of scannable security issues. I recommend that others take this approach if possible, as having too much stuff in your container increases app startup time, storage costs, and your attack surface.
Yeah, intermittent fasting is extremely popular right now, and really 14/10 is just skipping breakfast, but I see people saying they are on longer fasts, so I'm wondering if they can keep up their other healthy activities while doing so.
> regen primarily alleviates the need for brakes to perform speed modulation when cruising

This isn't true for me. Maybe it depends on the strength of regen in your car, but 90% of my deceleration when stopping is handled by regen. I only use brakes under 5 MPH in most circumstances. And I wouldn't say I'm a timid driver.
> they believe up to 80 percent or more of the lat-long data available there is fake. No one has stopped to think about where that data has come from and why a publisher would choose to sell it all to a vendor who is going to build a business on top of their data. What’s actually happening is these ad tech vendors are trying to pad out the limited data they already own with other data sets from competitive vendors or other unknown sources.

Sounds more like textbook fraud than a Ponzi scheme (though, honestly I did not read the whole article).

And so on. The routing part is a bit funny - by spawning a new process per request this is actually very close to PHP/CGI :)
Cable TV is certainly not a requirement for modern living, if fact its dying.

Cell / Internet I would agree are general requirements in the modern world for the most part. But it's also important to understand their impact on quality of life. There is a hugely understated value in the fact that an individual can have access to almost the entire knowledge base of humanity in the palm of their hand, and it's damn cheap for what it is. The closest comparison in 1970 would have been a full encyclopedia set which were actually pretty comparable in cost to a phone/laptop + internet service, yet obviously far more limited.
> But some information should not be shared and, at times, we need to allow the government to decide when.

I agree with the first part of your statement but not the second. I don't trust the government with that absolute power.

That's why we have an adversarial legal system: to challenge the government when we think they're doing wrong. Unfortunately, the government has effectively created a shadow legal system where challenges are ineffective. This is why things like warrant canaries are necessary, when the government tries to do an end run around checks on its power.
They didn't have any clue. Back in 2005 personal data and access logs and analytics was considered a chore, you'd delegate the annoyance of log rotation to some sys admin or helpdesk intern and generally purge all data as quickly as possible because storage was expensive.

Occasionally someone would make a cool tool that parsed htaccess logs and gave you a neat visualization or something, but that was it. Literally nobody tracked anything on the internet.

It almost seems like fiction when I type it out now.

> However, writing good documentation can be really hard. As the developer, you are, at the same time, the best and worst placed person to document. Best because you know exactly how the software is supposed to work, and worst, because you might miss documenting things that seems obvious to you, but not to the user.

This is an important point! That's why I think it's so valuable to constantly have discussions with the users of your products. Not only to improve the products themselves but the documentation and the on-boarding process.
Yeah tech documentation is a really interesting edge case for translation, as a good chunk of it will be new vocab and/or simply invented vocab for most native English speakers reading it anyway, so it's actually a pretty philosophical question about language itself if/how that stuff can be translated to other languages at all.

No one wants to hear it, and with good reason, but there is simply no proof of this, and substantial evidence to the contrary. We know intelligence is strongly heritable, for example.

Life is unfair. But our modern academic institutions are beating around this bush, I think because on a base level, empathetic people are fearful of the consequences of scientific research that may effectively justify certain racist ideas. But that makes for bad science and, possibly, bad policy, if different people require different solutions to different problems. It also makes it hard for me to trust academia, because the bias is so entrenched.

> order from a secret court or a NSL that states they are not to modify statements on their website until further notice

That's the point. The theory is that a NSL can compel you to not speak, but it can't compel you to speak. Not updating a canary is the latter, not the former.

If a canary isn't updated in the period it is expected to update it is considered "dead" or "tripped".
I'm guessing that's the point everyone should see. WASM is going to be the new bytecode that works everywhere. If that's not the reason of even Golang started to support Webassembly, I would love to hear your your conjecture.
It's extremely difficult to actually exercise over any long period of fasting. Beyond a few days your body just doesn't want to do it. You have mental energy, but physically getting enough energy to go do something beyond walking around gets rough.
Do you mean 10pm to 12pm?
Yeah, the calculation stuff is so handy.
The right question isn't “will courts issue a direct order to maintain a warrant canary to conceal a warrant (or, more likely, an administrative subpoena like an NSL) protected by a non-disclosure order”, it is “will courts punish signalling the existence of a warrant (etc.) protected by a non-disclosure order by dropping a warrant canary as they would any other action done to signal the existence of such a warrant.”

Which is why even the EFF doesn't recommend dropping the canary immediately but instead going to court to seek vindication of the right to drop the canary before so doing.
Be careful though - we use Aurora PG and it's great for what it does, but they do not support managed upgrades across major PG versions yet! We're stuck on 9.6.x because the time to dump and restore our large DB is a non-starter with the rest of the business.
I love the care taken in writing artfully and entertainingly.
Credit has largely been the best thing to happen in the world. But lower interest rates have not made housing more affordable. Neither have longer terms. Both of these things, in the long run, just make build-able land more expensive -- which keeps the mortgage payment / income ratio pretty constant in the long run.

Obviously Real Estate is highly cyclical. So you can look at any two points in time and make conclusions like low interest rates or longer terms are great for affordability. But if you look over the long run, it's just not the case.

Land price is a function of interest rates, taxes, lending standards, purchasing power, and speculation -- there are no inputs like with a refrigerator. And land is not a commodity in the same vein as, say, corn. If the demand for corn goes up, people grow more corn. If the demand for land goes up, VERY RARELY do we make more land.

Your body produces a hormone called ghrelin which controls your hunger levels. It produces it based on your eating patterns and the time of day.

When you fast, your ghrelin levels peak in the first 24 hours, but after that, they steadily decline. A lot of people don't even feel hungry anymore after about day three.

This doesn't seem to describe a Ponzi scheme. Money from later investors is not used to pay returns to earlier investors.

Contrariwise, if location data from later subscribers were used to provide solid information to earlier subscribers that would be an effective and useful service.

I think you vastly underestimate the amount of value Musk's twitter account produces for him.

Tesla is in the business of selling luxury products. They live or die by people wanting to buy them. Musk's twitter account appears to be one of the primary marketing channels.

SpaceX is in the business of

- Getting regulatory approvals

- Acquiring engineering talent cheep.

- Selling things to taxpayers and rich people

They live or die by politicians and potential hires liking them - billionaires who want a trip to the moon help too. Like with Tesla Musk's twitter account is one of the primary marketing channels.

It really is incredible how much storage you can fit in such a tiny volume. However, I think the read/write speeds are now the bottleneck on these devices. They seem to all cap out at around 100MB/s (maybe a little more if you get a premium card), which isn't very fast when your device have 1TB of storage.

I'm looking forward to SD Express https://www.extremetech.com/mobile/286390-sd-association-ann... which aims to solve this issue.
Do you, as a manager at least, have any ideas on how to address that inequality? Obviously the ideal measure would be at least to improve education among those populations, but given that at least some portion of that damage is done by the time an individual enters the workplace, is there any way to mitigate those factors at that point?
I do similarly for many years, my no_calories window is between 10pm and 12-noon. This is very simple, just avoid any breakfast and drink some water instead.

> From the people that I know, the ones I think are really honest, good, well-mannered people, they all seem to struggle relationship-wise. And precisely those ones are deemed as too difficult, etc. even though they aren't that much different.

Hmm. That really doesn't match my experience.

I'm lucky enough to know a handful of people who are really pure, kind, good-hearted people, and they all seem to get through life pretty well. Sure, some of them have endured severe challenges in life, but those would have happened regardless of who they were as a person (mostly not "winning the lottery at birth" aka growing up poorer or in the "wrong" place.)

Yes, people consider them different, but they consider them different in a good way, and they are very loved people.

I suspect that it's a number of other factors causing what you've seen. Ultimately, I just don't understand - why would most of the world dislike a good person because they're a good person? That seems like a really strange world.
I think we all know what the quote is about even though it's not an actual Ponzi scheme, it's just fraud. Another good reminder to question everything, especially group wisdom.

You can search Youtube for some Joe Rogan podcasts on fasting. He's had on a few different people who discuss how they IF.

The thing that clicked for me with IF, was instead of thinking about fasting for X hours, I think about having a 9 hour window each day when I can eat. While not perfect, I slide this window around if I have stuff going in the morning or at night.

Whatever hunger I would feel in the mornings stopped pretty quickly. I workout first thing, so I was already doing most of my workouts on an empty stomach. I had figured out awhile ago I had much more energy before that first meal.

The hardest part for me was skipping milk in my coffee in the mornings since that would break my fast. It's still the place I trip up, but if I can go 4/7 mornings that's a win.

As an aside, initially I also used hunger as a mental exercise. I would think that there are people who are truly starving, and I can't go 15 hours without food? Toughen up. I don't really notice hunger much anymore so that exercise didn't last.
Repeat after me: there's no such thing as a psychic. All psychics are simple con men, who prey on vulnerable individuals in order to receive easy cash. That is all.
This isn't quite accurate. Tennessee whiskey fully qualifies as bourbon whiskey. It's a marketing decision to call it otherwise. (Which is to say, Tennessee whiskey could be sold as bourbon, but not vice-versa. I believe the same can be said for Gin/Vodka btw.) Details:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourbon_whiskey#Legal_requirem...

Also, in my experience, it's a lot easier to find top-grade bourbon than it is to find Traditional Balsamic Vinegar and I say that living somewhere with state-controlled ABC stores (NC).

Essentially these are implementation specific bugs resulting in oracles, rather than being attacks on CBC itself - basically openssl and some embedded (?) TLS stacks produce different results (delayed hang up and/or different error codes) for padding vs. MAC failures in CBC mode.

I assume that the joy of CBC mode just makes those oracles easier to directly exploit. The exploits are still harder to use than GCM with a reused nonce (reusing a nonce in GCM mode essentially breaks it. GCM is hard).
That slight wobble in Earth's orbit we're experiencing, that's Dijkstra rolling in his grave.

I disagree with this point.

"But one way to address this is to change workplace cultures to be closer to what poor and working-class people bring rather than just trying to teach those “others” how to adapt."

The standards of many professional environments have evolved to handle the expectations of many external stakeholders. Think about what you expect from your lawyer, an ad agency, and accountant: people you trust with your money, brand, or even your personal freedom. Or the engineer designing a multi-million dollar piece of equipment for your company. Or the priest or doctor counseling you on a private matter.

Personal behavior that is culturally appropriate on a shop floor or the Wal-mart Warehouse (yes, I've worked in both of those places) would be totally out of line in a professional environment. It would, in fact, work against the goals of the organization and threaten everyone's employment.

Culture should be driven by the requirements of the job. You are playing a role. I want my doctor to be infallible and calm. I want my accountant to have their act together. It's part of the service.

Though there are important issues with protesting, right to work, and ethics that are being brought up, the technology is not all that new. The DoD has had similar capabilities to the Hololens for nearly 15 years at this point, almost 80 if you think of HUDs as a general idea.

The BraveMind [0][1] project has been around sine ~2005 and has been shown to help with PTSD. USC's work with the DoD has even been shown on PBS's Frontline[2].

HUDs themselves, arguably a primitive form of AR tech like the Hololens, have been around since the early bomber sights of WW2[3]. I'm sure we all remember Top Gun's use of HUDs.

Honestly, from a tech perspective, the Hololens is only innovative due to it's size, weight, and customer support. The DoD generally proclaims preference for Off-The-Shelf parts and equipment due to many factors. The Hololens is just an iteration of an idea and procurement process that has long been in use.

When work is automated the productivity comes from owning the automation, not doing it. Meaning that the top 0.1% who owns all the automation are taking most of the gains. This is only possible thanks to the top 10% selling all their automation work to the top 0.1% for cheap.
so much true. people are worried about their data being sold to advertisers, while the little dirty secret of the ad-tech industry is that nobody has any data, tbh.

There are varying types of "real", though. Length of aging matters; the longer it's aged the more evaporates off and the thicker (and tastier, IMO) it gets.

The $10/bottle watery stuff you'd use in a vinaigrette is not the same as the $30-40/bottle stuff that's almost syrupy thick. Both are real balsamic vinegar, even DOP. They're vastly different tastes, though.
Adobe to Discontinue Shockwave on April 9th
I have been using an App called Zero which (importantly for your question) has a "Learn" section which allows you to read up on fasting. (as an example they link to this: https://getkion.com/fasting-decoded/

I started with the 'skip breakfast' style of fasting, which was good, but then I did my homework on the different 'types':

16:8 16 hours no food: 8 hour 'feeding window' (generally normal dinner, no breakfast, later lunch)

18:6 - this is where I believe most Intermittent fasters go.

20:4 - I've done this a bit, and it works for me, but I can't do it more than once or twice(!) a week.
