They mention changing your password with a POST request, but at least what I have seen require the old password to be included in the request too.

Nevertheless, this is also problem of web apps in general. In many cases there are better protocols and better programs anyways.

In the case of the cookies, there can be user settings; if the user defines a cookie manually they can define if it is sent with cross site requests or not, and if the server sends the cookie to you then by default it won't be sent with cross requests. Cookies would always be sent for <a> links outside of frames, though, unless the user configures otherwise (such as to disallow it if there are query strings, for example).

Another thing I thought is a "Web-Option" request header. This is similar to cookies but cannot be set by the HTTP response nor by document scripts; the only way to set it is for the user to set it by themself. The response can include a "Web-Option-Schema" header, which is a link to a file specifying what options are valid; the user can use this or can specify their own options which might or might not conform to the schema. (This is not meant for authentication. For doing authentication, use basic/digest auth instead.)
3 things that are noticeable about black people in America.

* They weren't really allowed viable property access until the last 50 years or so. 100's of years of catch up to make up for.

* Accumulating disadvantage of fatherless and motherless households.

* The blast radius of municipal violations disproportionately afflicts black people in the USA.

Not saying I like these things, but they're core problems.
Reading your comment, I thought either "nobody is going to believe this guy" or "people are going to think he's nuts". Actually, I thought it sooner than that, because I almost shared a story about how I used to clean up my Northgate Omnikey and decided not to because I didn't want to be judged. :) And yet, here you are, with an equally insane, similar but much better approach.

My method for cleaning my Omnikey was to fill the kitchen sink with water and clean it like one cleans a dish. After a quick towel-dry, I'd toss it in the oven for 12-or-so hours at the lowest temperature (I think about 150-200 degrees American). I did this at least 10 times during the decade and a half that I used this board (and it was sold in perfect, working condition).

I'm sure I did some damage, somewhere. There's got to be parts in that keyboard that corrode, but it always came out "like new". I haven't owned a keyboard like it since and I expect the one I use day-to-day wouldn't survive a strong gust of wind. I'm not completely, nuts, though. The first time I performed this all-day, insane, cleaning routine was after I had lost all hope of resurrecting my keyboard due to an unfortunate encounter with a full glass of Mountain Dew.

At no point did I ever consider putting it in the dish washer. That would have saved me hours!
On Intel (and probably very similar on AMD) the cost of a completely uncontented, cache hit, simple spin lock acquisition is ~20 clock cycles while the release is almost free.
Yeah right it’s the government taking black men at random in the street and putting them in jail for the single reason they’re black, just to destroy the black community. It has absolutely nothing to do with the said individuals breaking laws (sometimes with the side effect of creating another father-less family in the process), which are the same for everyone. Also doing criminal acts is a choice, not something that happens by accident.
I live in Glasgow - isn't it closer to 600k?
This looks quite a bit like my kinesis pro keyboard which I bought because of CTS. I am thinking about putting a touchpad in the middle..
Specifically, I understand a 1968 law put into effect the Man in the House rule. Black families had to decide if welfare would pay better than the father's job. Many left the house so the mother and child(ren) could receive the welfare payment. The Moe Factz podcast has been helpful to me in understanding these structural problems in society.

I came in to say that this was one of the tidbits of info I always held onto from business school. The whole point of understanding sunk costs is avoiding the Sunk Cost Fallacy.

Everytime I hear a sports talk radio guy talking about how much an overpaid and underperforming player is still going to play I pull my hair out.

The house we live in (from 1903) still has the original gas lines everywhere. That means there is a hook in the middle of the ceiling connected to the gas pipes for you to hang your gas lantern, but also one or two wall outlets in every room for those.

I suppose the neighbouring houses all had those de-installed, but our electricity installation is from ~1930 as well, so the owners were never fond of renovations, it seems. (It works surprisingly well for its age.) I often wonder about the people who lived here and their lifestyles.
I agree with that. At some primitive level, I think we see our fathers as protector and provider. When he's not around, the pressure is really on boys to assume that role. And so it without the maturity and tools that adults have.

My father moved out when I was 14 and, although he was never far away and visited all the time, I was pretty angry about. For years. It really wasn't even his fault.

It is not just an issue for black boys, of course. Rates of fatherless homes have been rising in the US for whites and hispanics too.
Exactly right. It's no fun getting the easy jobs. It's very sweet getting something done that everyone else said couldn't be done.
I'm pretty sure the previous poster is mainly referring to the criminalization of low-level drug use and the heavily racially biased enforcement of it.

You're talking about the heavily racially biased under-enforcement/implementation of laws and programs to reduce violent crime.

Just highlighting that a racial bias in the criminal justice system is the common theme. Not that you weren't making the same point, it just didn't seem clear to me one way or the other.

Here are some nice stats if anyone wants some numbers to chew on: https://www.naacp.org/criminal-justice-fact-sheet/
Yes.

The WWII Liberty Ships utilised a triple-expansion steam engine, fired by bunker fuel. Both the expended steam and the boilers were used to fluidise the fuel to flowable tempertures -- the steam circulating either through or around the feed tanks, and the fuel line itself passing through the boiler and flame trench before final injection.

There are two remaining Liberty Ships in the US -- the John W. Brown in Baltimore, and the Jeremiah O'Brien in San Francisco.

Pay a visit and one of the engine-room crew can tell you the details.

The generaly kluginess and hackiness of the design instantly brought to mind what many software projects I've worked on might look like if physically instantiated. Though the Liberty Ship design is by far the more robust and useful than most.
I feel sorry for the field staff and local managers who have to recruit talent. Also for potential recruits that require nicotine doses (via non-smoking means) to control inflammation.
I guess you're not including UK here? Checks are a thing in UK and is very common for .gov institutions: driving licence? Write a check. Overpaid taxes? Receive check. Pay national insurance gaps? Write a check. It's good though that pretty much every banking app has ability to scan and deposit a check to your account in a matter of seconds.
Rather seems likely laziness hiding behind the guise of "security". Such a bad user experience is inexcusable.
A big reason for the absence of black fathers is institutional white racism.
Roughly 1 in 9 black men between 20-34 are currently incarcerated (11%). It's probably a much higher percentage that have been incarcerated in the last 3 years.

Strange that the author starts with a book that began as an online, runnable, interactive book. (Taking a lot more than a week to write.)

Presumably he would end up with a library of functions that somehow capture some of the mathematical models found in some books. Without any of the understanding of what they mean or how to apply them, this is meaningless.

If you really want to do something meaningful and ambitious, spend a year trying to write a program that can understand a single sentence.
I despise reading analog books. Just sitting down calmly and committing time to read pages and pages is not my thing. And I don't like fiction.

I had a similar mindset to you, had bookmarked tens of self improvement books for the areas in life I struggled with, also books for entrepreneurship etc. But I assumed most of what they contain would surface in online conversations etc.

I hate wasting time, so last year I gave audio books a try. I don't like doing chores or commutes not because I don't physically like doing them but because the time it takes to do them - it feels like waste. So I thought "why not listen to audio books while doing them to take the edge off?"

So I started listening to the books I wanted to read while doing the dishes etc. I think last year I've listened to more books than I have ever read in my entire life prior.

I can confidently say that books, if you choose them correctly, are worth it. The curation of content and the layers of depth built into the content (afforded to the author because of the long format of books) gives you a very different experience.

Yes, you can find bits and pieces of wisdom from them online, you'll bump into some of the stuff that is in there. But this idea clashes with your (and my) "efficiency" argument. It would take you years to bump into all the wisdom found in some important books randomly while browsing online. By just listening to them while you are otherwise wasting your time with mundane daily tasks you can be orders of magnitude more efficient with acquiring that info.

I am personally more of an optimist, but I originally saw this post on r/collapse and then on r/bestof and now its made it to my FB feed via this Medium post. I care more about people understanding what a dire situation we are in so that we can take action ASAP. there are also a number of good links in here, whether or not you agree that we are locked into this future. It will definitely take a concerted effort from society to make sure the future is not grim.
We already have gene editing. Last week's "60 Minutes" featured a young woman being cured (so far as the doctors can tell) of sickle cell anemia with gene editing.
Engines are sized for failure at take-off. At that time they are at maximum power, the aircraft is heavy with fuel, and the ground is mighty close.

I see no evidence that larger engines are more efficient than smaller ones. Larger total frontal area (counting all engines together) is more efficient, as is a higher bypass ratio. Both of those tend to lead toward larger engines, but you could leave those unchanged while modifying the number of engines.

For example, switching from 2 engines to 8 engines, you could maintain the same frontal area by changing the diameter from 10 feet to 5 feet. The bypass ratio, which is the portion of air that bypasses the combustion, could be 12-to-1 or 10-to-1 or whatever, and need not change with engine diameter.
In business I wonder how much reinvestment / continued investment is because someone doesn't understand sunk costs.....or they just don't want a mistake to be highly visible / rock the boat? So they just continue on.

I worked at a company where they outsourced some work. It became clear that the outsourcing was both more expensive than domestic work....and the domestic folks were using up time fixing outsourced work.

The outsourcing was the VPs first big initiative as a VP.

There was lots of talk about just moving on and not worrying about sunk costs, but they carrried on with the outsourcing...I don't think it was because he didn't understand sunk costs.
You're right. I was thinking that you need the dash to sort in the right order, but of course the dash is always in the same place in ISO 8601.
Reading books is honestly overrated. Especially popular non-fiction.

If you are reading for pleasure, then so long as you are pleased, any number is fine.

If you read for knowledge, you should be able to see if you have any chances of applying the knowledge to your life. Unused knowledge is at best, useless, at worst, dangerous (too many valueless thoughts taking by brain CPU cycles).
I used to read ~30 books a year. Only read 10 books last year.
This year it might even be fewer.
But each and every book I read adds value to the fields I am focused on (history, religion and a little bit of non, pop sci fiction).
Just barely enough so it can make it into the marketing material without seeming like a total scam.

I think that I understand what they said. It happens at school..you take kids who are hormonally challenged and have angst and frustration and you rub them the right way, you can create an army for any cause.

When you come from stable families and have personal mentors, the recruiting efforts in schools and colleges fail. Someone who is a friend living in Oakland mentioned the other day that black kids are going to be radicalized anyways there. It used to be that gangs were recruiting them in the past and now it’s schools recruiting them as they are the future vote bank when they become adults.

It was remarkable to me in that how similar this was to radicalized students in India. But that was usually after high school and during their public university years...because single parenthood was uncommon (during my time there) and parents were very involved with their kids till school and then they become raw bill board material especially when they leave home to go to study.

But in the USA, it starts earlier as public schools are parents and guardians by proxy. Single parenthood is more common and they have to work to make $$. That’s why I see school kids walking out to support their teachers when the teacher unions strike. I couldn’t believe it when I first witnessed it..they were kids and the teachers had no qualms about recruiting them for causes. I still can’t wrap my mind around it.

As I get older, I value my youth..especially the years before I turned 25. I have always read and tried to study all my life but the most optimal time was in the first 25 years. I was able to read and retain what I learnt. I was able to absorb what I read. I had financial freedom and health. I didn’t have financial responsibility and it came little by little. I was still young enough that I didn’t feel bad about asking for help from my family if I failed. I was forgiven easily for transgressions and people were patient with me because I had potential that goes hand in hand with youth. I had someone behind me who would go after those who would want to harm me. I enjoyed what I call the ‘elasticity of youth’ in that I could make a mistake, bounce back and fix it without being overly judged.

That is priceless. It mostly came because I had stable and supportive family. It is not ‘privilege’. I was the potential contained in the passed on genes of my family and they wanted to make sure I didn’t squander it. So they created the best environment for me. I had the added bonus of a large joint family which meant that the family was a miniature village of aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, nieces and nephews as one family unit. Single parenthood is tough. I wish society would stop telling people that it’s easy. Community can take the place of family. Just don’t hand it over to govt that needs to be elected to maintain power and status quo.
sigh, so what you are saying black men and other men get the same sentences for the same crimes and its all equal. Thanks for the info.

Did you even read OP's comment? They specifically mentioned the need to engage with students' work to survey their (mis)understandings.

The link you posted to Khan does not automate that delicate balance between teacher and student. It's a bunch of videos of Khan describing the Chain Rule. The "practice" sections are mundane - multiple choice questions or fill in the blanks. You simply cannot (as an educator) see the (mis)understandings of students like this. You need to pour over their work. Take note of where patterns occur and address them next class. Iterative. Do you honestly think Khan has "automated" that?

This thread is full of asinine comments like yours that demonstrate just how much people in tech _don't_ understand what it's like to teach. Hence the original link to 100 fuck ups by engineers, product people, and VCs.
Have you tried woodworking? Do a small project, let's say, a stool. Use only manual tools. Use a plane to square boards. Use only glued parts.

The higher crime rates leading to higher incarceration rates is probably a bigger factor than "white racism".

Edit: Making this edit to clarify what I'm trying to say, since several responses has tipped me off to how it could be read. Being black doesn't have anything to do with committing more crimes. Higher crime rates is much more a factor of economic and family status. Both of which are negatively impacted by higher crime rates, which reinforces the cycle to everyone's dismay. Those statuses are on average worse in the black community than others, which causes a large part of the statistical difference. The causes of the difference stem from the legacy of racism and choices that were made in designing welfare programs, at least in large part. Which sucks.
I would recommend getting a macbook. Macbook air is enough power for web development.

I was using windows learning rails and kept running in to issues that would require an hour or two of searching and work arounds to get what I was trying to do on windows.

Most rails tutorials were on a mac back in the day. One night I had spent like two hours running in to issues on a tutorial. I decided to grab my wife's macbook, completed the tutorial in less time than I had been trying to troubleshoot issues on windows.

Windows 10 is a little more developer friendly, but there is a reason developers use mac, it just works and typically saves time.

So if you have access to one you can borrow I'd try it out. If you can snag a macbook air on sale it should be around $800, I think I got one for $650 once.

If you only have access to windows it will work, I think it will be more of a headache, but definitely you can learn on windows, I'd recommend developing on a mac though. For any language (other than .net).

If you haven't take a look at Rails or Laravel for developing web apps.

Good luck.
For authentication, there is also the HTTP basic and digest authentication. However, I do not know that any web browser provides functions for the user to manage this authentication. (It would also make it easier for the user to configure cross-site authentication, too.)
If it is any better, it probably would be the more fair entry (and perhaps similar for python and stdout/bytes) since Go's example did basically that instead of fmt.print with a string

Exactly. It may be "survivorship bias," but sometimes, we survive because we did it right, and it's not a bad idea to see what the survivors did. They didn't screw up the launch, because they screwed up the tests; where it was expected.

Remember when the ability to land a spent booster was being poo-poohed by the "old guard"? Remember those really awesome booms?

Nowadays, landing the boosters has become so routine that it isn't even mentioned anymore.

That's cool.

I am kind of in awe of the way they work. I'm not sure that I'd be up for working in that environment, myself, but I have mad respect for them.

So the breakthrough is really in production methods of the facilities?
"Don't charge hourly" doesn't work for "researchy" work where you can't be certain things will work in the end or indeed how long they will take. I charge hourly. Setting a high hourly rate (if you can do it) prevents the "bullshit work" situation described in the article. Customer then finds it more cost effective to have their junior FTEs do bullshit work.
Man, when we can go one layer up, like say DNA = Verilog, and neurons, cells, etc = FPGA, things will change in profound ways.

American liberty ships used steam engines because US industry had been building cargo ships for the Brits and wanted to avoid the delay of switching to a more modern design. The Brits specified steam engines so they could run the ships on coal so they wouldn't have to import the fuel.
1. That's an insanely large part of that population.

2. 11% still doesn't go a long way in explaining the "fatherless issue", although we probably need firm numbers on that too.
Well yes, that's structural racism for you. And before you judge people for committing crimes, ask yourself: would you have abstained if you had the same life story? Do you think they would fall into crime less if they had a more privileged upbringing?
OpenLara: Tomb Raider open-source engine
So how come there are less black fathers now than when racism was much more prominent? Also how come we see the same problem in lower class white communities? I don't know if "institutional" racism (whatever that is) contributes to it or not but there are certainly other more prominent factors.
