And a really straightforward call at that. IIRC it was something like "Bezos has a 25 million dollar house already in DC, he's obviously putting HQ2 there". All the tax stuff, economic fit, etc etc just seems like it could really be fluff to occlude the simple fact that Bezos is most comfortable with HQ2 coming to area he's already well suited to operate out of.
If you were willing to sacrifice best practices for performance, one obvious option is to accept only hmac-md5, which is very fast and still somewhat secure.

If the systems involved lack "AES-NI" native CPU opcodes, then you might revert to chacha20-poly1305, which is supposedly faster on CPUs that lack acceleration. This also overrides the hmac-md5 above, as it is an AEAD.

If you needed to go faster still, then you could instead choose ARCFOUR (RC4) as you say, but this has been removed from the latest versions of OpenSSH because it is not safe.

The worst of the above configurations are still not as bad as classic FTP.
While Rust is great, one of the things I love with LISP (Clojure) is once you spend 3 min learning the syntax you know it or can guess the syntax in 99% of cases. No need to look up how to do something complicated, just look at the order of arguments.

Stores have gotten into trouble for not selling items at their list price. Kohls always has half their items on sale and half regular price - they know you won't buy the regular price item when the sale item is nearly identical. They rotate items in and out of sale every week just so they can prove in court there actually is a half off sales.

Depends on your country, but in the US you can't claim something has a regular price if the regular price is never charged for it.

> humans have been information starved

I'm not sure starved is the right metaphor.

When saying we were "information starved" it implies we actually needed more information, like food, when in fact the reason the brain pays so much attention to new stuff is probably because the signal to noise ratio was much higher for millions of years than it is these days.
Personally, I never use a pre-made Anki deck. It feels like skipping over the initial learning period that I'm trying to lock-in with further study. Making every card I use myself means that I won't be totally baffled the first time it comes up, and there's a good reason I added it in the first place.

Using a pre-made deck just feels like a barrage of random information like this: https://twitter.com/zbgolia/status/1138489910757920769
If all your games are available in Steam, I see no advantage in using Lutris: in my experience, Proton works very well out of the box.

For games that aren't available in Steam, Proton is of little help AFAIK, and that's where Lutris shines.

Also, some people like having all their games in a single place, in which case Lutris may be a solution too, even for Steam games. As my “single place for games” is my shell, I usually skip Lutris and Steam GUIs to start games directly anyway, so…
Friction matters. You don't need to be smart to break a door lock, but people still lock their doors.
I'd be surprised if the built in print to pdf function doesn't already circumvent this.
That's a strictly worse solution to the problem with no advantages.

I didn't know about the second parameter until I saw it in a TypeScript signature a few months ago, which acted as a sort of warning to me to avoid using it incorrectly.

But TypeScript doesn't catch this specific bug because it's technically correct[1] from an API stand-point, as the second parameter to parseInt is a number and the second argument to map's callback is a number.

For as many situations as TypeScript genuinely helps you, there are just as many situations where it gives you false security, like in this case, and I'm starting to consider not using it anymore. [2]

I haven't seen a lot for Zen2 based Threadripper news since the end of May so maybe I missed how they are doing those chips like via the same 8 core chiplets as Zen2 or something larger. If their yields are really really good, maybe they are stacking 8 core chiplets for Rome and based on final yields on that determine what range will be offered as Zen2 TR HEDT to split 16 core Zen2 from Rome. Maybe at 16 cores, Zen2/Ryzen 9 is HEDT enough to compete?

If they are doing larger chiplets for Rome like 16 or 32 core but pairing up with Infinity Fabric for up to 64 cores, yields could also determine what becomes Zen2 TR with the weak chiplets becoming 8-32 core 92 chiplets), single CPU HEDT material? Or will they have a whole other solution here like limiting Zen2 TR to the same socket as previous gens to push upgrades vs a first gen TR user jumping to a Ryzen 3850X vs low end Rome?

Although it's unfortunate to say, but when one makes a big scientific journal, the inclination is to go to one of the top journals (Nature index) before going to journals outside of the listed journals. The reason behind this is that getting a paper in one of those journals is directly related to academic payoff (prizes, promotions, grants). Viewed from this payoff perspective, reason behind this Nature index isn't so unreasonable.

This Nature index would be equivalent to counting the number of papers accepted into the top computer science journals. So yes this index ignores the computer science discipline.

> For anything else online banking related, hard (in-person) KYC was required.

I'm not sure what your source is on this, but I've opened the vast majority of my financial accounts without any in-person KYC, including checking, savings, debit card, credit card, and every online payment account I've ever had.

There are a bunch of banks in the US (including my primary bank) which don't have branches to even do an in-person KYC at.

There are a lot of barriers to a great p2p and p2b payment system here, but in-person KYC isn't one of them.

Power hammers have been in use for hundreds of years at least - the change is almost entirely in the size of the power source (modern engine vs a waterwheel). Power hammers were the reason cams were invented.

Border Patrol Wants Robots That Can Go Underground and Report Back
This is similar to what we built at MP3.com 20 years ago. Offices with two to four work areas, maybe a table in the center, and grouped people by function and overlap. The Systems & Networking team was next door to the DBAs and in the same hallway as the developers on the content acquisition, management, and delivery teams. We also had a number of open areas with seating and whiteboards for casual conversations. I even recall designing the new storage management system on a paper table cloth at the local greek restaurant and posting it in a common area to start the design conversation. It was quite productive and many of the team members remain great friends to this day.
One could start with the fact, that with most laptops, one could exchange the battery without sending the whole laptop in... And as this is their pro laptop (and certainly priced such) one could expect on-site service even.
It's so obvious in hindsight. Amazon HAS money already. They don't need big subsidies. What they need is people.
I did that for a while, but stopped probably a decade ago. A spam robot educated me about my mistake when it sent me many, many gigs of crap, using a dictionary of some sort to guess usernames. Surprise! they all "worked".
Oh, electric self launch planes are both viable and available already. It's just a question of manufacturers making them with slightly higher battery capacity, which seems perfectly feasible based on a napkin calculation. Current self-launch electric gliders can climb to cruise altitude and still have >20km of endurance as a contingency for recovery.

If that number was 100km with high reliability, it would almost qualify as a new type of aircraft. You could do cross-country flights that you'd never attempt in an unpowered glider, e.g. above big stretches of high, mountainous terrain. The Norwegian Hardanger plateau comes to mind as an example. Un-landable terrain, 1 km above sea level with a small window for unpowered navigation, national park and absolutely beautiful.

No, ProtonMail pretended it made guarantees that it doesn't make. Just like the exact same Exchange/Outlook feature that people have used for years, this is to prevent accidental copying of emails and their contents.
Backlash was certainly loud, but Amazon could have made things work even without all of the subsidies they received. This is entirely me speculating, but I wonder if Amazon feared that NYC workers might eventually organize or be organized, given the political rhetoric and the framing of the backlash. Amazon has a legendary fear of unionization.
You are not misreading something. I made a mistake.

IQ does correlate with salary but that correlation is weak and a higher IQ brings in only a slightly higher salary. Correlations between IQ and GDPs however are very strong and a small increase in average IQ is correlated with a significant jump in GDP.

My source is the hive mind book, and my original footnote about IQ was incorrect and completely wrong. My original thesis still stands though. Do you have any thoughts about that? The whole IQ and success thing was just a footnote. I shouldn't of added it in, as you are correct in identifying that the footnote was completely wrong. I believe in admitting mistakes and not charging forward with bias so please critique anything you disagree with... I want critiques that address more than the footnote.

Virginia tried very hard to make sure that HQ2 is not just more government contracting jobs- the region is already very exposed to government work as it is[1]. The limited tax breaks Amazon gets are directly linked to the new jobs NOT being government related.

[1]: From 2010-2015, the Washington DC MSA was basically the only large tech hub that lost tech workers, because of the Sequester and the constant government budget showdowns. Virginia viewed HQ2 as an insurance against that.

Do service centers for these devices have special storage / handling requirements (especially when mass recalls are announced)? I can't imagine having a large amount of these ticking time-bombs, pending repair, all stacked together on a shelf is that great of an idea.
The only negative sentiment around Jio is that Jio isn't available in certain remote corners of India (only if you are travelling to remote villages) and that Jio GigaFiber (the FTTH solution) hasn't be deployed yet (The infrastructure has already been setup. Launch has been delayed as they are releasing it phase-wise). I am waiting to switch from my current FTTH provider to Jio GigaFiber once it launches.

I currently have a 100Mbps + 200 GB per month plan but looking at the tariffs of Jio GigaFiber I can get 100Mbps + 100GB per month + complimentary 40GB per month for a fraction of the price. Once Jio GigaFiber launches with proper tariff plans I am sure I can opt for the 1Gbps + 1TB per month plan for the same price I am paying my current FTTH provider.

I think that's a "service bulletin", and the "recall" itself would be on the specific part.
Hard to puzzle the details there without knowing the aircraft type, but in the pressurized piston plane I fly, there is a main outflow valve used to regulate pressure that's under my (indirect) control and a safety outflow valve that's set just over the rigged max pressure differential (such that it partly dumps the cabin if that pressure is exceeded).

Given that your flight didn't get the "rubber jungle" of deployed masks, the cabin pressure probably never dropped precipitously low, but rather started to oscillate as the safety valve dumped and closed, but never dumped enough to deploy the masks and the crew declared and descended in order to sort things out.

A small number aircraft (non-airliners) are lost each year due to pressurization issues. It's a serious business, even in the high 20s and 30s (of 1000' MSL).

Single pilots are required to continuously wear O2 mask at/above FL350 (35000') and one pilot of a two pilot crew must continuously wear O2 over FL410. Between FL350 and FL410, two pilot crews may rely on quick-donning masks. This is believed to be a commonly violated regulation (in that air crews regularly do not wear the required mask when things are operating smoothly).
If you are in the US stop everything and call your companies' lawyers. I suspect they will tell you nobody is allowed to use this workflow until you solve the problem. ADA in the US is strong and you don't want to be sued. If you pay for gitlab support ask your lawyer how much liability gitlab has should you be sued as well, and feed that back to your contacts.
I completely understand the need to ban books like Black Hat Python but they also ban First Html5 Programming and Microsoft Excel 2016 For Dummies?

Yea, I don’t keep I-bonds for the yield, I keep them for the inflation protection and tax advantage. High yield CDs are fine too but the interest is taxed.
I think Virginia knew it didn't have to compete so hard on tax breaks or investments. NoVa has something that no other region had: The Pentagon. If Amazon wants big fat government contracts, then it's a no-brainer they'd want a presence there. Bezos already owned the Washington Post and a very expensive DC mansion--the region's importance was never uncertain to him.
WindowGrid, a tiling window manager for Windows
I recently had my spare macbook’s battery replaced by paying quite a lot. I even had to do a second trip to the store because the returned item was also faulty. They did something to the motherboard while changing the battery I guess because they also replaced that for free, but not before I diagnosed the problem for them...

Then today I learned that the battery I got replaced was included to this program butit seems Apple doesn’t want to refund the money I paid for the battery and they can’t guarantee if the replaced battery is healthy, so I have to do a 4th trip to the Apple Store make sure it won’t explode to my face...

I don’t understand why Apple can’t track what it put to my laptop and tell me if it dangerous or not.

It’s just annoying and painful. I’d expect better -which was the case for the past 6 years.
I can also see a domino effect happening if one or a few cities start to use this. If a city/group of cities becomes drastically safer after implementing this, it could pressure those that don't have it to opt in as well.

This article made me curious to why a Base-1 or Unary Numeral base system has not been implemented in parseInt() as noted by the OP, since the second argument radix must be between 2 and 36:

parseInt('1', 1) // same error for '0' or '|'
> NaN

The result is intriguing still as "NaN" seems to indicate a invalid input in the first parameter instead of a invalid second parameter.

I've found that apparently there is no consensus [1] on Base-1 notation or parsing, although my primary intuition is correct [2] in that a parser could be written that would parse a "1" as a 1 base10, "11" as a 2 base10, "111" and so on. The parser would probably look a lot like a simple length() function, but that could vary with certain base-1 encodings like the ones used by the Golomb Rice compression algorithms, which have each string end in "0" (unary coding).

Interesting idea. I’d tweak it just a bit.

When designing APIs I find that bools are often a smell or a missed opportunity. What if, for example, there was an X-Intended-Audience?

That could be integrated with Active Directory, Groups, IAM etc within an organization to make the warning only pop up when a potential violation is occurring which helps avoid seeing the warning so often that it gets ignored (or accidentally send to the wrong confidential party as in medicine or law). It could also inform IT after the fact.
