No worries. Yeah that was the first thing I looked for when I first looked at too.

In any case... if you did download it... I'll recommend two of my favorites. If you like tower defense style games, try out Ghost Hacker. If you like strategy a bit better, try out Pixel Legions. Both are really fun.
9-11 was a super edge case. Yes, absolutely it's difficult to make firm judgements about many issues, but we should still pay attention to edge cases because even though the people out at the edges of discourse seem nuts doesn't mean they're not serious or motivated or capable.
Do you know how much such an "argument" would cost? Forget all the small forums, 4chan, Mastodon instances after this law.

Maybe forget even Tor then, because by running a node at home or in your small business you are not adhering to the "best practices"

I'm sure there is more to find about that, but for the purpose of rebutting your nonsense i deem it sufficient.

What do i mean by that? The theories aren't unfounded when looking back, because they happened! It doesn't really matter where, when, by whom, and what exactly. Just that it did happen multiple times.

This has been obvious to me for years. Also because the most affordable dynamic places always have a combination of PHIMBY and YIMBY. YIMBY was started by libertarian market urbanists. I agree govt intervention limiting land use rights is the main problem, but you’ll never get support for deliberalizing land use without guaranteeing protections to the lower and working classes. There’s plenty of ways to make this stuff work (see abroad) without having it turn into another Cabrini Green
It’s structural static typing, a perfectly cromulent class of type system, and much more easily compatible with dynamics types.

One of the doctors saw the initial cases before they were officially confirmed. He told the news in WeChat groups to their friends who were also doctors about a SARS-like virus that's being identified and warned their doctor friends to beware. The other 7 just spreaded the message and they are also doctors. They weren't arrested though. They were warned by the police and forced to promise that they won't do it again.

The one who originally wrote the message were also later found to be infected by the virus. Here is an interview in which he told the story: https://m.mp.oeeee.com/a/BAAFRD000020200130255882.html?&laye...

It frustrates my sense of aesthetics to no end that the inch isn't defined as 25.6 mm.

That would make the imperial system a base-two variant of the SI system.

This would have made the mile around 42 (current) feet longer, which is a non-starter; I just wish the foot had been a little longer, somehow.
Because you can get some decent typing with some compiler help AND leverage the entire node/js eco system super easily. Which is kind of the whole point.

As someone that's done c/c++/c#/lua/js/ts I've found typescript to be really awesome because it differentiates the types from the objects. Which has given me a much better appreciation of typing rather than the traditional OOP everything.

Trezor is designed to protect against remote/logical attacks (including a compromised host). It isn't really hardware protected in any meaningful way against local access. This lets users inspect/validate their own hardware better, though.

The issue is most users (reasonably, IMO) assume physical protection for their hardware wallets, at least against someone getting temporary access and without insane levels of resources. That is fairly safe using a Ledger today (barring an undisclosed vuln); that's why I think the Ledgers are somewhat better.

I suspect that there are many situations where the "facts" are poorly established or just wrong, and "logic" is just a set of assertions rendered plausible by the rhetorical skill and popularity of the debater.

Stubbornness may be a survival trait for a social animal. We humans are flooded with facts and logic contrived to cause us to sacrifice our own self interest in favor of someone else's. I've even read that the game of social manipulation is why we evolved our huge brains.

I was born stubborn, according to my parents. The same people who accuse me of being stubborn are often the ones who are the most vigorously opposed to gathering additional information that they can't predict or control.
Then call it a "recreation" of Little Snitch or something.

Calling it a "port" is completely inaccurate and misleading. I clicked on this thread thinking the Little Snitch developers must be involved somehow.

That's an obnoxious and immature way to jump into a conversation. I didn't touch on government action anywhere, nor the comment I was responding to.

I understood the parent post as arguing that having a unique cable isn't so bad because you get one for free with the device, among other things. While this is true, my counter is that having a single cable over multiple devices is still nice.
Yeah, I'm still looking at the headline and I'm thinking "and why is that a bad thing?"

I mean, the problem mainstream commentary are really talking about is the accumulation of irrational, garbage world views. But mainstream is hampered in its ability to describe this in particular.

Essentially, the view of journalism, in America especially, has presented itself as a "non-world view", "just the facts" but really having a secular, pro-science, pro-capitalist, etc position. A variety of viewpoints could considered but not an infinite variety. And the endorse variety was the "unbiased", supposedly willing to considered anything. And it seemed plausible for a bit.

Moreover, this mainstream view certainly wanted some things to be taken fully on authority while other things could have their validity debated. Especially, schools and newspapers can't come out and say religious is bunk, they have to couch things as religion is a fine thing but shouldn't impinge on the domain of science or the state. And when talking a world view that is, in my secular world view, screamingly irrational, that's leaving a big hole in your position.

My personal biased view is that the rise of an educated populace in the 1960s lead to that populace questioning a lot and the elites then being happy to gut education. Which lead to a uneducated populace more ready to embrace idiocy. Researchers saying "maybe people should have tools to sort facts from trash" but how did the situation start anyway? Sure, the Internet accelerated this kindling but you had problems with the rationality of the citizenry beforehand.
The latter being academic doesn't mean it is not also of practical import to correct usability.
In that recommendation, they provide clear and easy to follow instructions for doing the checksum verification manually before applying the update.

> Compare both checksums and, if matching, proceed with installing the package
Great that this exists. I really like the application. Here are some issues:

- There's a countdown when an unknown outgoing connection is discovered - the countdown is currently not being stopped when you focus the countdown window. The countdown is only 15 seconds or so - if the countdown is over, it automatically approves the connection.

- Rules cannot be edited via the python interface. There is one config file per rule though.

- My computer has been freezing sometimes since I started using it. Not sure but that behavior is related to the tool.

- Sometimes high cpu usage.

- It would be great of have some kind of rule-set which can be used as a starting point (optionally).

- Python interface is slow. Generally not a fan of client applications that are based on Python.

Ok since we have a lot of TS people here maybe someone can help me out.

Let's say I have a simple interface with a few fields. I want to make sure incoming JSON conforms to that interface.

I realize at runtime the interface isn't there, but is there some tool I can use to compile a utility to check JSON against an interface without having to write a duplicative JSONSchema or something else?
This is going to be a bit of a rant, but I hope not too off-topic.

I am a huge fan of space exploration, however I was really disappointed by the online space community’s lack of objections at the further militarization of space.

Maybe it is still not entirely inevitable and there is a precedent of global agreement on no weapons in space[0]. I know that most folks have industry ties and maybe that is the cause of their acquiesce.

I have an argument which I believe to be an entirely non-political and objective reason as to why we need to continue down the evolutionary path of becoming a nearly non-violent species. We also need to do that in relatively short order. I was really hoping that space exploration was going to be that shiny leading example of non-violence. If anyone wants to talk about that further, then please give a reply.

But if Apple is being “abusive” by having proprietary hardware, does that mean they should also force Nintendo to use standard media for the Switch? Should they also force Apple to allow iPhones to run a more standard operating system?
I will second the notion that setting up your preferences after installing little snitch is a bit overwhelming, especially if it's on a machine where you have installed a lot of software.

It's alarming just how much software starts running in the background after a startup, and starts making connections you didn't know about before you ever open a single user application.
It’s not a false dichotomy. Objectivity allows you to assess data and make decisions based upon that data opposed to a gut feeling. Objectivity is very helpful when it comes to persuading and manipulating people, as it means you are making decisions based upon your observations of them opposed to your personal opinions of them.

I think Apple genuinely believe that they can provide a better product, and I believe they can too. I just don't care.

The inability to borrow cables or swap them between devices in the past was a not insignificant hassle. Keeping boxes of cables, not being able to borrow a friend's charger when visiting, not being able to replace cables except by ordering a new one from the manufacturer half a world away. Constant minor irritation.

The EU's first round of cable standardisation remains one of my favourite quality-of-life laws. No slightly more reliable cable is worth more than me than knowing I can use the same cable on as many devices as possible, and that I'm never going to be stuck in the middle of nowhere unable to buy a replacement charger for my phone.

It's also a point which the invisible hand has a great deal of trouble solving, because phones are such a vital part of life that you're unlikely to refuse to buy simply on the basis of its charger. It's an easy bit of revenue for manufacturers to jump on, because they know it's probably not quite annoying enough to significantly affect device choice. I love me a free market solution, but it's important to recognise where the market fails, and we've already seen it fail to solve this problem once.
> I’m skeptical that there is a significant body of critics that share these patently conflicting views.

If I take a serious look at my own C++ needs I do find myself having those contradicting views. Essentially what I find is that for areas of the language that do not pertain much to my day to day work I'm fine with "simplifying" (even if it means removing features, because I don't need those features) but for the things I work on (which I'll be the first to admit are likely quite rare in the general C++ population) it would be a deal breaker if the features that I use but most other people don't get removed.

io-ts [1] is what I think most people use for this

1: https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts
The problem with trying to be "define any assumptions" and using "a clear chain of logic" is that, if you do this right, you will realise that there's really very few things you can actually say about anything at all. This is a problem when it comes to day to day dealings.

On the one hand, average population do not agree on what can be construed as "self-evident". On the other hand, what seems self-evident within our limited capacity is often misguided or frustratingly incomplete. Even if we sorted both these out, being logical means having to deal with details. My experience has been that average person does not like to deal with the details.
I love Gtypist, but wanted it to have a lesson focused on programming keys like !@#$%^&*()-=[]{}\|

Also I personally also am a huge fan of Little Snitch, I do want to caution everyone who rushes to install that, after all, like all software Little Snitch has bugs, and because it runs in ring 0, any bugs can potentially have annoying consequences, including being exploited by malware.

See for example this news report[0] or the DEF CON talk[1].

I personally do use Little Snitch, but this is after consideration of my own privacy desire against risk of security holes being exploited. I personally chose the former. You should personally weigh these and decide.

> TypeScript can be very confusing sometimes

That's not good. A type system should be crystal clear, predictable and reliable.

> and given the learning curve

Types should not be a complex thing with a steep learning curve. If you know Assembler and C it's pretty clear what types are about. Added complexity to your codebase is what you should try to avoid at all times. We have a limited capacity of things we can think of at a time, developers should therefore focus on things that really matter. In my daily work I see highly complex piles of spaghetti in TS that are 'type safe' and easy to refactor..
Thank you for not using the cookie notice! This is clearly a better way of following this law, and probably what the EU intended when they created it.

Cookie notices have become a massive pain on the Internet. What really annoys me is that these notices are on websites that don't even serve the EU. The other day I was browsing the website for a local (non-EU) cellphone company, on a local TLD, from an IP address registered to a local ISP, and I still had to accept this meaningless popup.
The vast majority have USB C cables? Why would I own any USB C chargers as an iPhone user? Not even most Android phones support USB C.
If you're not converting H (gps orthometric height) to E (local elevation datum to "sea level") first, you're doing it wrong, for a number of practical reasons.

Usually there's not even a reason to use H directly anymore, since elevations should reference a local benchmark.

GPS has changed things, but surveyors are still obscenely practical when it comes to procedures for eliminating systematic error.

I think so. As it stands, you are flat out stating that systemd produces better system design than UNIX - which is not only questionable of itself, but in blatant disregard of those who disagree with the systemd design philosophy.

I've never used Typescript, but I don't think these are really 'major' flaws. That's just my perspective as someone that's being doing FE for over a decade and picks this stuff up fairly quick. Obviously it's more of a problem for newbs that probably aren't going to read that paragraph about discriminated unions and grok it straight away.

Having said that, I absolutely hate the ending of this blog post. I see blog writers do this all the time. He's just given three detailed, concrete negatives about Typescript, given enough information to infer that these quirks could be problematic for beginners and cost your team time and resources. Then at the end, he suggests that you use Typescript and waves it all away with some ambiguous bullshit about how static typing saves you a bunch of time.

There's so many of these claims that are just taken as common knowledge/best practices, that everyone treats as absolute truth that overrules everything else, even good concrete examples. I've been building entire apps myself for over a decade now, using both plain and typed (flow) JS, and every time I've seen somebody try and elaborate on how static typing saves you all this time, it's some pissant todo list bug that I would have solved in 5 seconds with plain JS.
