This is confusing to be honest. They talk about how keeping state in a component cannot allow you to do specific things. And the only way to achieve some things is to hoist the state (which leaks the state). This is fine by me but I totally fail to understand how the introduction of "state machines" solves the problem. The code is already a state machine.

For instance you can have a component use an explicit state machine (say via xstate) and have it encapsulate state the same exact way (and with the same drawbacks) that he talks about. You can have component A use a state-machine and component B use another... you still have problems with leaking their state if they need to communicate.

So not totally sure about the final comparison or what the actual solution is to the problem of "state leaking a component". Did I miss something or does the article feel incomplete?
My home computer, which is on for 4hrs a day, used to get hundreds of SSH login attempts. I imagine the number of people trying to scan MS is a couple of orders of magnitude higher, and some of those will have enough savvy to exploit a security hole. Comparitech found/accessed it, what are the chances they're the only ones? (I say, very low.)

I'd say it seems likely. But I only have domestic experience. People with industry experience, what do you think?
Where do you actually find good mental health practitioners in India?

My luck ran out last time I tried to find one. I wonder why there isn't any repercussions for lot of self claimed doctors...though government tried to deny the WHO report that said approx 65% doctors are not qualified in India and the rest are dubious to good. Doubled down and passed a bill for recognising ayurveds, homoeopaths, etc as actual doctors.
IPFS is not uncensorable. The protocol is based on a DHT that allows anyone to find what IP addresses are hosting a particular content, so it's possible to take them down.

It only appears uncensorable because it's not (yet?) popular enough for states to care about it.

And for blockchains to be uncensorable, you need the content to be on-chain, which doesn't scale. (because, if the content is off-chain, then you need an external solution to host the content, so the blockchain didn't solve the problem)

most lego models are to small for the size of the figures. (i mean, come on, a train that can't even seat two figures in parallel, feels totally unrealistic)

the minifigure dimensions are just completely off, so you can't expect a lot of realism here. i am happy if models are big enough that they are actually playable, and look like the real thing from the outside.

if there is one model where the scale issue is what's absolutely putting me off, it's the death-star. that thing is so far off its real dimensions that it just looks ridiculous to me.

Ads have gotten to the point I'm once again getting the feeling I'm on IE with 80% of the page blocked by toolbars. But this time it's ads and video's blocking any content I want to consume.

Blockers are a valuable thing to simply be able to read or watch anything on most sites now a days. I also happily pay for proper media, but not when you complicate this by blocking parts of this action with ads to begin with.
I think we all realise that, the point is, I think, they don't have to and sometimes the optics of doing so are bad.

If a field of knowledge is associated with a person or group of persons ("Frankfurter Schule", "Wiener Kreis"), I am a priori sceptical. Genuine scientific knowledge exists for itself and does not require authority and sectarian admiration. Philosophy can produce more useful things (e.g. knowledge representation, ontologies) than subjective individual opinions.

The overlap probably isn't big, but it depends on the type of device. For instance, I've bought plenty of used computer hardware from a certain local vendor selling off-lease equipment. So at the cost of accepting that the device was used for a year or two in some company and may have a scratch here and there, I could score a decent display or a laptop at 1/3 of the price of a new model. If I can't find what I want this way, I usually do pony up and buy new.

Yeah, I thought about it. But I don't know how I could keep the VM secure, so I might end up doing my Internet banking on a malware-infested system.

I wouldn't trust myself to keep the latest version of Windows secure, given that I haven't used Windows in over a decade, so I'm pretty sure I can't be trusted to keep XP safe. (As far as I'm aware, the "security" software that the bank's ActiveX control communicates with only runs on XP.)

Not for all the things that Rust catches. And not for the most important things.

Static analyzers typically catch trivial stuff like returning a pointer to a stack from a function. Which is easy to spot during code reviews. But they don't catch more sophisticated UB that can result from bad interaction of code in different units. And this it the kind of UB we're the most interested in being protected from.

I wrongly assumed boredom no longer exists (If I become a 1000 years old I still do not have the time to do the things I want and I only do things I want now... But I have ideas for 5 more projects daily and have had that since about my 10th. My friends more or less have the same thing); that assumption seems to be incorrect. How widespread would this be I wonder. I have seen it far more in poorer countries (2nd world?) because people have boring jobs or no jobs and spend their time hoping it will pass fast, so drink a lot and browse facebook all day.

The problem with comparing doctors to techs, is that while a senior software developer may make as much as a doctor’s salary (from 10 years ago), instead, the doctor’s salary (of today) has easily kept up with inflation.

An Anesthesiologist makes over $250,000 annually. Try making that as a senior tech.

A Physician’s Assistant makes over $170,000 annually. Easily beating an average senior software engineer. And they’re not even medical doctors.

Nurses make over $125,000 easily, especially with their mandatory overtime schedules baked into their union agreement.

And here’s the kicker: because women make up a larger share of medical professionals, then you have a situation where doctors end up marrying other doctors or nurses. Which is good for them, but guess what they do? They buy up the expensive houses. And then they buy their second or third houses, thus pricing normal people out of that also.

> anxiety can actually be a cause of procrastination. It turns into a nasty feedback loop

That matches my experience. I've not been diagnosed with anything (I'm way too working-class for that), but the worst times of my life were due to this self-reinforcing loop of doom.

The worst part is that the first instinct is to address the procrastination, assuming that "doing" will reduce the causes of anxiety and the latter will just disappear by itself. That's not the case, or at least it wasn't for me - I had to take anxiety under control first.

That was exactly my point. Hence why I wrote:

>Fixing a procrastination problem probably takes more of a gut feel than an attempt to understand it.

The article mentions mindfulness and I think it can replace the gut feel as a way to understand the root cause of procrastination. One can literally observe what is happening in your mind and body and what is happening around you before, during and after procrastination events and work from there to address anything you want to change. Learning about and practicing self-compassion [1] should, IMHO, help deal with it as well.

I suspect what you paid for and what you own is the hardware itself. The rest (software) is licensed on certain terms.

I don't think this distinction would hold up in court, though, at least in the EU, where consumer rights are somewhat protected. When you buy a physical device with certain functionality described on the box, you have a reasonable expectation that it will deliver said functionality.

SSH worms are a completely different subject, MS does not get orders of magnitude more scan traffic than you do.

> The two "doctors" assured the military men who hired them and the lawyers and politicians who signed it off that their techniques were entirely "painless". Let me take you through the one described as "a technique in which the detainees' wrists were tied together above their heads and they were unable to lean against a wall or lie down." I was put down a hole, suspended by my wrists from two chains that were locked to a horizontal metal bar at a height where my feet could barely touch the ground. I was left in total darkness for days—perhaps a week. Without food. Standing on tiptoe in my own excrement.

So first Sonos, and now Logitech, effectively bricking devices to discourage and impede a second hand market for their products.

Not only is it anti-consumer, it's ecologically unsound, preventing re-use of a working product and encouraging more plastic crap to go to landfill.

Interesting to note that these are both premium brands. Are they relying on the majority of their customers being non tech savvy and unaware of the policy, or are they betting that most customers will accept the practice?

My guess is that they're assuming that revenue from customers forced to purchase a new, not secondhand product, exceeds revenue loss from those who are aware of the policy and won't purchase. Short term thinking, at best.

Saying that something is not a systemd replacement because it does not do x feature that systemd does misses the point that systemd does too much. /sbin/init can be simple, and written in any language, and when it is, its often better than systemd because of that.

If software supports start but not stop or restart or enable disable as both systemV and systemd do, its still a fully functional systemd replacement if your context does not need those features
