DNS rebinding involves changing your host's really-low-TTL A record to 127.0.0.1 (or other internal IP), and then on next request the browser will then assume that's what the host is and make call to that new IP assuming same-origin...but it sets the Host header as what the browser thinks represents that IP. If it's not localhost or 127.0.0.1 (for this use case) then we know someone tricked into thinking it was theirs that was our local IP. So check the Host to make sure it isn't someone else's host "re-bound" to your IP.

Yeah, this is really really poor on their behalf, and I'm not a fan of it at all.

It's funny you say that. I'm more inclined to order via prime, because I somewhat trust the shipping dates, so for a time sensitive order, non-prime is usually 3-5 working days. I've been lucky so far.

So same as Portugal has been doing for decades - decriminalise small use and treat it as a public health problem instead of making average citizens into criminals.

Portugal has a lot of bad things to it, but having no war on drugs has made it into one of the most peaceful countries on earth. And marijuana usage is pretty low, Last I checked. Why? Probably because it’s not a special thing.

I’ve always pondered why they only did it there, and I’ve been routinely disappointed to move to the Uk and understand how horrible the drug problem is here. People take ketamine and OD in toilets here.

As much as the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and the local Sinclair affiliates might scream that Seattle is wrecked, people and businesses are still moving here, our economy is growing, and massive redevelopment is occuring.

One other place to pay attention to is Shelton, WA, they have a very interesting communal approach to homelessness and providing services, which has built a strong community that wooed some of my friends to buy and retire in Shelton.
This is awesome! Not sure if OP put this together, but thank you.
Interesting take on the situation - one key difference is I don’t feel any less safe now than 10 years ago walking around. I DO see more “open” use, and people walking around obviously on something, especially by the homeless (which makes sense even if they’re not using at a higher level). I don’t see the social services much though. IMO they could use more visibility. The prevailing opinion seems like we do “nothing”.

I’d like to see the stats on mortality and quality of life to those that get treatment though. It can’t be worse than locking nonviolent people up.
At the very least, a credible precommitment that Heap won't transfer data to other companies in the event of a merger, and that if Heap goes out of business that data will be destroyed.

Here's what Heap's privacy policy says:

> We may share or transfer your information in connection with a prospective or actual sale, merger, transfer or other reorganization of all or parts of our business.

You're banking on Heap being an ethical company forever, yet your privacy policy basically gives you carte-blanch rights to sell my data to any other company in the event of a merger. Heap runs into tough times and Oracle/Google buys them out? Any privacy guarantee you make here is immediately out the window.

You're asking people here to trust you, while your privacy policy explicitly states in legal language that you're allowed to stab us in the back. If you're not planning to stab us in the back, then why is that language necessary?

Some things shouldn't be okay to say. That intolerance actually hurts people, if someone says "the Nazis were right" that really doesn't end up being a victimless crime, America is an example right now where the rhetoric is leading to actual violence towards certain groups. While I think the government regulating it too much is not good I don't see the issue of doing it collectively as individuals.

Edit: just as a final thought, I've been on both sides of this, I've been silenced and I've silenced other people and honestly they both suck. I hold this view with the believe that some middle ground of things not being okay is the only one that works. If someone thinks that a free for all of ideas works well they are welcome to try it on their social media and at their company and I could be convinced if I could see it work at scale. It's really a practical view more than a philosophical one
By the same token "This thing is stupid and pointless, partly because I didn't find it to fit my tastes. I guess I'll just assume everyone feels the same way I do and I'll marvel at why other people have different taste than me" is something I don't see the point of.

My wife and I a couple of decades ago took a camping road trip down the middle of New Mexico, starting near the top of the state. One of our first stops was to visit the Acoma community, which is a pueblo built on top of a mesa; very few people still live up there. The various "apartments" are passed down matrilineally, which was an interesting thing to learn.

It was August, and very hot outside - well over 100F. Inside one of the apartments on the tour, someone was selling snowcones - a welcome relief. We went inside (had to duck under the doorway, as it was only 4-5 feet tall) and it was easily 20-30 cooler than the outside. The only thing we could figure was that being on top of the mesa, plus night temperatures, and the thick adobe construction, all acted as a thermal-mass barrier system or something. It was really amazing to experience. I honestly wish that kind of construction was more common here in the southwest.
In my limited experience with Hg, I thought it had a well designed, human-friendly interface. After a decade with git, I still feel like it's an ugly, awkward tool that just gets the job done and I still occasionally make weird mistakes with it. I'm not sure that's the case with other tools I've been using this long.

Git has a pretty gross interface, such that people have struggled to make it nicer to use with GUIs for as long as I can remember. I also feel as though every junior developer has panic inducing moments with git where they think they've lost work or something terrifying like that. It's like a hazing ritual in programming. Wait for git to give you a heart attack. If you survive, you're one of us.

Hg didn't really give me that impression at all and I was excited to begin using it more, but like with most technologies I want to adopt, work and family won and I stuck with git at work and otherwise had no time to use Hg more. It seems like git won largely because it has the right buy-in from the right people.
I think it's on point that this article is written by a postdoc. It's true - when you're young/less established to have to be very careful about these things and do a good job. On the other hand, it's always amusing to me to observe the inverse correlation between fame and talk quality, at least in science. I once saw a Nobel prize winner give talk with pixelated images and with large blocks of comic sans text. It's honestly somewhat rare, at least in my field, to see a talk from an elder-statesperson of the field that isn't low quality.
Indeed. And that is the conundrum, is it not?

We absolutely cannot let evil stand when we identify evil. Otherwise, it marches in and kills many. On the other hand, if we misidentify evil, then innocent people die.

I'm not saying I have a solution. But the idea that "tolerance will save us all" is hopelessly naive. The sad fact is, a large number of people are systematically intolerant.

What sort of technologies could (theoretically) be built relying on "quantum teleportation"?
I think that "perfect" or "par-human" would be a judgement about performance on a set computational task. My caveat is that ML models are usually performing a vastly simplified task compared to what the brain does. But it looked like you were saying they perform "pattern matching" with the same task setting and cost function as the brain, and just need to perform better at it. What's your view?
So? What’s the problem?

If I go in public someone might photograph me or see me. If I visit a website, it might log information about my visit (to show me ads).

> The commission is made up of six members, who are appointed by the president of the United States and confirmed by the United States Senate. Each member serves a six-year term, and two seats are subject to appointment every two years. By law, no more than three commissioners can be members of the same political party, and at least four votes are required for any official commission action.

(Legally, I suppose he could've nominated someone from a third party for the slot, but practically that would've died with McConnell in the Senate.)
Someone, at some point, probably regardes some of your views as hateful. With that in mind, how much would you like to be subject to prior restraint based on someone else's internal emotional understanding of your views?

Generally it's worth dividing hateful words from hateful actions. Saying something racist in hateful, and might have political or social consequences, but wise societies are aware that getting into the game of policing speech is a mess. Attacking someone for being the wrong race is much more clear-cut, and society generally has an interest in discouraging violence to begin with.
There are times in history and political issues where politics must spread to everywhere, including workplace. Everything must be disrupted until things get fixed. There could be general strikes etc. Like what is happening in HK for example.

Where the limit goes varies. Personally I hate children and don't have them, so concentration camps for children are not the breaking point for me. For many others it may be.

In git branches are more comparable to hg bookmarks and used so heavily it feels very rare from the command line where you would directly use a hash rather than a branch name.

> Related question: does anyone know of a good git GUI that works on Windows and Linux? (Ideally, but not essentially, free.)

If you are happy with the Tortoise family there is a TortoiseGit [1]. I think the Tortoise "family" still shows its roots in SVN much too often to be a "great" Git GUI, but it should certain feel comfortably familiar. Though like TortoiseSVN, TortoiseGit only supports Windows. It's interesting that TortoiseHg was the only one in the "family" to invest in cross-platform.

GitHub Desktop can be a useful cross-platform GUI sometimes, especially for somewhat less code-focused folks. While it puts GitHub front and center, it's still a general purpose enough tool.

Git has an "okay-ish" cross-platform GUI that is almost always bundled with it called "Git GUI". I don't know a lot of people that recommend the main interface for Git GUI, it's an ugly Tk-based throwback, but it does cover almost all of the basics of TortoiseGit without as much direct shell integration. (It has some bare shell integration into the right-click context menu as an optional checkbox buried in the Windows install at least.) On the other hand, while almost no one uses the main commit-oriented parts of Git GUI, its commit graph viewer `gitk` (which is almost always available in the PATH by that name) is almost an almost indispensable power tool, and I think still the commit graph tool to beat for git. `gitk` is great, and years ago became my muscle memory over `git log` for a lot of situations.

At this point the most common cross-platform "GUI" I use day-to-day with git though is just VS Code. It's built in git support is sufficient for a lot of work, and there are some useful, optional power tool extensions like "Git Lens" that make it even better.

Definitely the latter - people trying to convince others that their views on war, or abortion, or taxes, or political party are the correct ones.

I am just astounded that this is being spun in such a positive light. It absolutely has had a negative impact on public safety here. They're offered public services, and they refuse them, because many of our "tiny villages" have no-drug-use policies, which they will not abide by.

My city has one of the worst problems with repeat violent drug addicts in the nation (perhaps aside from the Bay) and yet we refuse to jail those who attack members of the public.

Just a few weeks ago we released a known violent repeat offender who four days later tossed a hot coffee on an infant.

Up in Ballard we released a guy who then chased people down with a pitchfork. Another is intent on assaulting the new Park Couriers who's job it is to keep people from open-using heroin in our public parks.

There's a guy down at an I-5 onramp in downtown who keeps trying to throw small women off the overpass. He keeps failing at doing so, and the cops say "Can't do anything, he hasn't actually thrown somebody off". I guess we'll just wait until he succeeds.

Oh well. I guess we'll just keep pointing these people towards social services, which they'll refuse again, lock them up for some token amount of time, and wait for them to harm the public again.

I don't swing the first punch during fights, but I'll absolutely punch back. That doesn't change the fact that fights happen to break out. One day, you will find yourself up against an intolerant person, and your only defense is to also be intolerant against them.

That's just the facts.

Imagine knowing that your people are fighting for freedom from CPC rule and mainlanders flooding into HK, taking your jobs and housing and driving up prices for essential goods. Then you get a group of obnoxious and oblivious mainlanders heading to HK on a luxury spending holiday demanding this and that from the flight hostesses.

Now imagine being an HK Cathay cabin crew member making not so great pay and living in the most expensive city in the world by far. This could be a tinder box for incidents like verbal assaults, jostling and shoving and if enough passengers get involved, it could transform into a real flight risk.

Good points, but I'd like to point out that nothing on this post is Rust-specific.

You can have the same issue if programming in any other language, including C: excessive indirections, inefficient algorithms, bad abstractions, excessive use of unnecessary libraries, etc.

It's indeed easier to "bloat" your resulting binary in C++ or Rust given the easiness to do higher-level abstractions; since you can more easily program complex solutions you also need to consider your design and the trade-offs on your code.

I'd also like to point out that, in comparison:

* Rust bloat is a speck compared to hundreds of megabytes for a similar Python program + runtime including the same amount of code.

* Rust bloat can be mostly optimized away for systems that really care about excess/unused code - you have #![no_std], disabling of backtraces, aborting on panic, and a lot of other optimizations that throw away a big portion of extra functionality not needed for things like embedded. You have little alternative on things like Go besides removing debugging symbols and doing tricks like "dynamic decompression" (which could also be applied to Rust programs to further reduce their size, btw).

Bottom line is: Rust makes it easier for you to "just add a new library" and it also make you more mindful of the bloat, but we need to keep it in perspective.
