No kidding. Especially when you consider how the tools for doing this kinda thing have gotten exponentially better just in the last couple years!

I'm curious what your current work looks like?
even though I love python and use asyncio all the time, I think ]socat and tcpdump achieve the same means, instead of having a program dump str(binary_data) to log, as this program does, I would use the great collection of pcap tools like wireshark and others to view the data in a much more structured way .. also, it can be replayed!

So where were JVM targets for all my favorite languages, or any browser support for that matter?

I'm not going to debate any points against the JVM, but all I know is that I can compile languages I want to all browsers today. Why can't I do that for the JVM?

Something must be a massive, gory failure of the JVM and/or the companies involved with the JVM for it to be an equal to that of WASM, and yet have zero traction for modern languages and browser targets.

Maybe you should start; it would be a good A/B test.
The truth is, not all companies advertise. Many companies know that advertising won't shift sales, for what they'd be willing to invest in campaigns. The companies you love probably don't need ads.

Meanwhile, the ads that you want to see are the least effective. They fail to persuade you to become a new customer, because you're already won over.

The most effective ads change your mind. They turn you from an enemy to a friend. No one expends effort advertising to existing customers. Why preach to the choir?
If you're completely clueless, I would join a gym with a range of machines. Machines are great, because they are low skill, you don't have to talk with anyone or feel embarrassed if you're not doing an exercise correctly.

Level 0:

Write down some goals you want to accomplish. For me, I want to do 15 pull ups without a rest. But it could be run a mile in under 8 minutes.
Write down when and how often you will be going to the gym. Hold yourself to this.

Put this list in a place you will see it often.

Level 1:

At the machine, sit down, look at the picture, do the the motion (at a light weight) 10 times. Move onto the next machine. If you have questions about how to use a machine, ask the staff.

Here, you are forming the habit of going to the gym. Don't worry about pushing yourself. Just focus on going to the gym 3 times per week. as u/jhauris said, keep things as friction-less as possible.

Level 2:

After a couple weeks of level 1, start doing multiple sets at each machine. Do the motion 10 times, rest for 1-2 minutes, do it again. repeat 3x. Stay in the gym exercising for at least 60 minutes.

Level 3:

After 2+ months of this, you can add cardio before your workout. If you have a bad back, try the bike machines or stepping machines. Many gyms offer classes which can be fun and motivating as well.

Level 4:

You will start noticing your weights are not improving as fast as they used to. Up to this point, you have been doing a full body workout each time you're at the gym. You should try to shift into using the free weights with a focus on different muscle groups per day. Monday: Legs; Wed: Back and biceps; Friday: Chest, shoulders, and triceps
Theres another downstream issue of this that many people seem to be unaware of.

I've gone down the road of trying to create a super private browsing experience.(www.privacytools.io for a good start).

The issue is the web experience degrades rapdily and quite frequently is unusable. You have to block CDNs for a start if you really wanna go full paranoia mode. And there's too many other issues to list here.

But the biggest issue, is that Google's CAPTCHAs become unsolveable. I mean literally they wont let you pass. You will get served a large sequence of captchas. I've experienced up to 6 for a single verification. And not only do you get more, but they deliberately add an excruciatingly slow delay to each image. It can take 10-15 seconds to solve a single image set, and then you still need to do 5 more.

Also interesting side note, it seems they are injecting adversial noise into the hard captcha, as I noticed faint distortions in most of the images.

Bur even with your best effort to solve them you will not get through. Ive repeated this experiement many times. It seems that preventing browser fingerprinting is the thing that really makes them put up a redflag, but its hard to know for sure. And I'd like to emphasize that none of the privacy modifications I was using make any significant change to normal browser functionality. You still have JS, you still have cookies (through Firefox containers).

Anyway the scary thing here is its very easy to extrapolate this further and get to an internet where you either opt in to be tracked, or you are effectively throttled/gated on huge parts of the web.

Google CAPTCHAs have gone from asking the question "Are you human?" to "Which human are you?".

And the beautiful, incredible irony is how this contrasts with Google's very public stance on net neutrality.

"Internet companies, innovative startups, and millions of internet users depend on these common-sense protections that prevent blocking or throttling of internet traffic, segmenting the internet into paid fast lanes and slow lanes, and other discriminatory practices. Thanks in part to net neutrality, the open internet has grown to become an unrivaled source of choice, competition, innovation, free expression, and opportunity. And it should stay that way. "

Do as I say. Not as I do.

I think the real qualifier is if lack of self-care is due to personal choice then environmental resources.

You don't have clean water to regularly wash clothes/yourself? That's not a personal choice (in this instance).

If you DO have clean water and aren't taking care of your basic hygene, then there's an issue. If asked "why" and the answer is "no point" then that's a pretty clear sign of depression. "I don't know how to use my washer" would likely be an indicator of anxiety (because a "mentally fit" person should be able to figure it out, or seek help with figuring it out), etc.
Surely some landlords are jerks, but certainly not all. They are, however, providing people with a place to live.

The IRS releases aggregated information on what % of people take various deductions or use various aspects of the different tax forms. This information does not support your various alternative hypotheses.

For the record any of the following disallowed someone from using the 1040-EZ

- being over the age of 65
- having any dependents/children
- making over 100k in income
- claiming any deductions at all

It was a very limiting form.

Debugger's have uses beyond just debugging.

The article mentions a strategy of defining an empty function with a breakpoint when writing code for new functionality -- 'I'll write that code when I hit the breakpoint' can be an extremely fast path to productivity boost. Having the program state in front of you to inspect can really make it easier to write the code for a new piece of functionality.

The obvious question is, do white sharks of similar size flee from Orcas or ones of smaller size? Otherwise, there's nothing surprising here. There's examples of Elephants fleeing from large prides of Lions, Lions fleeing from large packs of hyenas, etc. Similarly a small solitary Orca will likely flee from a group or a single, much larger, white shark.

Yeah, I think I overcooked my Impossible burger as well. It did smell and taste like meat. However it didn't smell or taste like a burger. It smelled and tasted just like Spam. I love Spam, but it's not a hamburger. I'm hoping that this is just due to cooking improperly.

Well... a setter is the object changing its own state. That's why the setter has to be a member function.

I would say instead that an object shouldn't have setters or getters for any members unless really necessary. And by "necessary", I don't mean "it makes it easier to write code that treats the object as a struct". I mean "setting this field really is an action that this object has to expose to the external world in order to function properly". And not even "necessary" because I coded myself into a corner and that's the easiest way out I see. It needs to be necessary at the design level, not at the code level.

I think it's important to recognize the issues directly pertaining to equal treatment that are dominating much of the conversation about sex and gender today.

The right not to be grabbed or groped or touched without consenting, to be evaluated on ability to do the work and not on appearance, to have supervisors and coworkers focused on working together and not on how to date you.

These are all issues disproportionately impacting women, that are not requests for "equality of outcome" or that men and women are the same, and very much critical to addressing "equality of opportunity".
The Death of Android External Storage: More of the Story
I've always thought two things:

- Subway should have leaned into their use of soy in their deli meat [1] and came in from the high end with it being the more expensive, high end, healthier, better for the environment product

- There should be high end burger chain which give you an eighth of a pound real meat burger patty for taste reasons and an eighth of a pound vegetarian patty for health and environment reasons. If everyone switched to such a solution, we could could our greenhouse gas emissions from burger production in half. In all honesty, this comment is based on superficial skimming of the following article/Beyond Meat press release [2].

In fact, the Asian means of eating tofu is fundamentally different from the vegitarian way of eating tofu. The Asian means of preparation is typically 75% tofu and 25% is meat for taste. When you go 100% tofu, its no wonder most people won't touch it.

Their success is reliant on housing staying unaffordable. That is the only way to make "microhousing" profitable. They don't create anything unique.

And, frankly, it's nothing new. It was a cliche at least back to the 80s that newly minted grads in finance would deal with tiny rat-infested crap apartments with roommates in Manhattan rather than get something decent in Queens for half the price.

I sort of feel that if the worst thing you can find is that someone stole your registration or OAuth documentation, you're a bit over-exaggerating.

And to say that someone is cloning your startup when they only (supposedly) stole the documentation is extreme in any case, especially when they're not really a very new startup, so it's not like you can claim everything they did was just copy from you.
> but in reality the only thing that was copied was the docs for the API, not the API itself

You never know. When someone ripped off Parse we were able to deduce which version of our JS SDK was ripped off by which bugs weren’t fixed. We had a weird moral dilemma: we were upset at the copycat yet concerned that their users had security vulnerabilities unpatched.

I'm in the camp that there should be no incentives for taxes for anything. Similarly there should be no difference in filing married vs separately or with children.

To me it just feels wrong to incentivise living a certain lifestyle by getting a discount at just existing. It is great when it incentivises the things you want, such as hybrid cars or something, but what would happen if someone wanted to give you a discount for purchasing gas cars when they become less common because of relations to the oil and gas industry?

Or maybe tax incentives for purchasing private telecom service if/when municipal networks ever become commonplace?

If you they can lower tax liability for a certain amount why not lower it to the actual level needed across the board instead of keeping some cushion to give away coupons?

I hope that this interview won't be dismissed as another "bootstraps" polemic by an elite like Freeman or Cosby, when it seems like just a regular guy reflecting thoughtfully about himself & his culture.

Orcas eating just the sharks liver is interesting, they have been known to eat only the tongue of whales, leaving the rest of the carcass. I'm guessing for similar reasons, tongue being tasty and highly nutritious to them.

This known behavior was used by whalers who had a pact with a group of orca in Eden, South Wales.
In exchange for helping the whalers hunt baleen whales, the whalers would leave the tongue of the whale to the orcas.

Interesting legal point. Whether an api falls under copywrite is still under adjudication between oracle and google. Generally apis are fair game, although that might change.

The idea is to reduce the ability of the untrusted code to go wrong and compromise the host.

Going wrong can mean “exploited by malware” through to “extension code trawls the host process address space to provide ‘features’”

The latter of these two used to happen all the time with “haxies” on OS X.

The run on security benefit of providing a semi-virtualised environment for third party/untrusted code is that if the VM is exploited you are able to fix and ship a fix for the VM. You can’t fix the untrusted code.
I don't have any questions, just wanted to comment on this amazing work.

It's been a while since I last played with SQL; at one time, it seemed like I was always doing something with SQL, mainly for MySQL - but everything now seems to be "locked" behind an API and all I do is interact with the API. Which isn't a bad thing, but it does mean my SQL skills are accumulating rust.

I do recall, though, enjoying the task of figuring out solutions to problems where the work could be done in SQL rather than in code. Sometimes, this resulted in SQL that, while valid, took some interesting twists similar to what you have shown.

I have probably made some later developers lives a bit of a hell, unfortunately. The closest I ever came to something like what I see here, was implementing GPS distance calculation code for a map lookup (basically, to allow for a search on "show me nearby locations" based on lat/lon coordinates from a zip code database).

I know what you're doing is all in good fun and seeing how hard you can push SQL into doing certain things; hopefully nobody will take this idea and run with it for something "production", if you know what I mean.

But I'm probably being too optimistic...

Thanks, this is all valuable and my own experience bears this out. People looking to take the next step up should pay attention to this wisdom. You say you usually charge $3K-$5K per day, what do you use to determine your rate? That's quite a large spread, so I assume you have some metrics that you use to determine this.

Plants take simple elements and compounds and make very complicated organic compounds. Fungus maybe could take a complicated protein and make something with it.

Plants taking animal proteins in grains of sand and spreading then over the entire vascular system without trying to isolate and inactivate it seems unprobable to me. They react and jail many fungus inside their cells all the time blocking the pass with latex and sap before to wrap it in cellulose and lignine.

It's a little better than that: 1.57^52 - 1.

R_n = (1 + R_0)(1 + R_1)...(1 + R_n) - 1

It's easier to just use log return:

r_n = r_0 + r_1 ... r_n

where

r = log (1 + R)

Anyhow, compounded returns aren't the best way to think about this. It's not like they could extend the period and realize the compounded returns.
