Web development can be done on many levels (e.g. just frontend or backend or styling/layout) with different technologies (libraries such as React, frameworks such as Angular, ...).

So the first problem is to learn what to learn. When I was trying to teach my gf to code (she is also non-engineer) it was actually pretty overwhelming for me, because I needed first to give her a lot of what-is-what knowledge. E.g. how internet roughly works, what is server, what is client, what is db, etc.

At the end I bought some Udemy full-stack web development course for ~ $9.99, they are always on some kind of sale. That worked pretty well (although she didn't get very far, I have to push her again :D), because they explained everything from scratch so you can acquire that initial what-is-what understanding.

So I would advise you to first acquire that general kind of knowledge, understand the basic parts of web (development) and then dive into the specific technologies - you will have much better context of what are you doing and how it fits in the bigger picture.

I believe any course with a decent amount of stars/reviews would do well. Feel free to ask more here.

Hope this helps!

The submitted link seems to go to page 3 of an unformatted version of the story. Here is the full story's canonical link: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/01/drug-war-the...
For TeX he has written a single large test called the TRIP test: described in "A torture test for TeX" (http://texdoc.net/pkg/tripman). This is a conformance test (to weed out bad reimplementations), written after TeX was written and debugged. (See https://texfaq.org/FAQ-triptrap for details.) Apart from this report there isn't a separate book about testing TeX specifically, though there is a TeX manual (The TeXbook, Volume A of Computers and Typesetting), the TeX source code as a book (Volume B, roughly equivalent to this: http://texdoc.net/pkg/tex), and there's also a nice paper called The Errors of TeX (https://yurichev.com/mirrors/knuth1989.pdf), supplemented by a changelog (http://texdoc.net/pkg/errorlog).

By "unit tests" Knuth is speaking of tests that each test just one part of the program in isolation, mocking out the rest, and also more broadly about the practice of "test-driven development" which has this as its prerequisite. He means he finds it simpler to just write the whole program up front, and test it wholesale.
If you have multiple connections, each of those DNS servers should return the same answers.

If they do not, they should be marked as forwarders for their respective domains. Something like `Add-DnsClientNrptRule -Namespace "domain.com" -NameServers "1.2.3.4"`

The operating system will have this information; an application, like browser, won't.
The problem is that the device (or website) also treats the owner and legitimate user as untrusted and obfuscates the content of the traffic in a way that makes everything completely opaque for them. The device/site only trusts its manufacturer which makes any device that completely obscures its traffic from its owner feel more like a Trojan horse. This is how you end up with questionable telemetry and data leaks for example.

What's a "trustworthy" device in this circumstance? If you can never verify then it's not trust it's faith and hope.

>Take his final example where he says that adjusting tactics in response to your opponent in ultimate frisbee is meta. No, that just strategy.

Choice of strategy can be "meta", though. It depends on the context. For example in ultimate frisbee the current meta is to play Vertical offense, and so you see a lot of teams training for how to run it and how to defend against it.

Back in 2004 ish, the dominant teams played Horizontal offense, and we only saw Vert for set plays after a foul or other play stoppage.

The meta has changed because the dominant strategies have changed.

Then you can get even more meta, because perhaps your team is playing "long ball" and you know that if you start calling lots of travels, the other team will reciprocate. And you know that because even a contested travel causes a return to the thrower, it will hurt you more than hurting them.

All of that is both strategy and meta.
I just don't understand why you would even reach out in the first place if you have no intentions of actually making the call. As you say, it's a waste of time.

People keep talking past each other on this because somehow DoH got conflated with Cloudflare.

DoH is a protocol. It has better security than unencrypted DNS. (So do several others, like DNSCurve, DNSCrypt, or routing your DNS queries over a VPN.)

The objection people have is not that it's encrypted, it's that Mozilla implemented it in the browser instead of the OS and thereby ignores the DNS you configured in your OS. And even that is fine as a setting you can enable, but it's problematic as the default. Both because it's administratively burdensome to change a setting in every application on every device if you want to use your own, and because of the second order effect of that, which is that hardly anybody will change it and then DNS becomes centralized to whatever is the default in the browsers.

This is what does it for me. Refined sugar in most forms, and excessive fruit will keep me up at night.

Behringer made cheap knockoffs of famous products a while ago, and most apparently sucked badly. I've heard more recent accounts of newer products being of decent quality however, and a couple teardowns seem to confirm this. They still mostly clone stuff by others though.
The problem to me is also due to the very high price the original stuff is sold at. Technology has progressed to a point an electronic instrument or effect can be built at a fraction of what would be the price 30 years ago, still mainstream producers sell at absurd prices. As an example, I can build with 15 euros in an evening a fantastic sounding germanium transistor fuzz face clone with mosfet input stage and LDR compressor, place it in a box and make a small profit by selling it at €40. If adding a fancy box and famous name will raise its price tag to €150 or more, notwithstanding the differences between costs of non mass parts purchases and production, I'd say the famous producer is asking for its products to be cloned.
I suppose my model is that every connected device and app, every web site someone visits, is malware. My household is full of things collecting data and passing it on to entities I don't wish to share that data with.

Yeah, my sentiments exactly. I'm in the process of finishing a small app for a client, and it's been a blast. As you said, a number of workarounds are necessary due to the fact that UIKit is so rich, and SwiftUI is rather sparse at the moment.

However the fact that it's so easy to build new UI components, at this phase partly makes up for it.

I learned some Haskell, and even wrote a couple of small programs and simple pull requests in it. However, I still wouldn't be able to effectively read and maintain such code at a reasonable pace.

There are many reasons to love Haskell. The static typing, prevention of bugs, the whole ethos of "doing things the right way", the beauty of abstractions. But I don't think that I would be able to be really productive in it in a reasonably sized project. And code written in this blog post illustrates this very well.

In [currently only] Chrome, it doesn't upgrade if the DNS advertised is the router. This proposed Firefox system then would default to CF [or default to the fastest one].
That is why I used works like "hope" and "big if". If everything goes perfect it can happen. It only needs one of the early attempts to turn out to work, do great in early testing and be easy to manufacture. Easy to manufacture depends on scale - if the virus turns out to be spreading fast it will be easier to manufacture because a lot of resources will be put into building the ability to make whatever turns out to work.

Safety becomes less important in the worst cases too. If you have a 1% chance of going blind from the vaccine, or a 20% chance of death, a vaccine that would normally fail tests looks good. (20% chance of death of course means the virus mutates to both spread faster and kill more people - generally unlikely)
IMO, if you get to the point where the metagame matters, unless you are getting paid to play professionally, or you love metagames for their own sake, you should stop or drop down to a lower level league.

Replacing every game by its metagame, as some "board game geeks" tend to do, destroys the diversiry and value of inventing different games in the first place.

"Scrabble is an area control game with a complicated resource tree" may be fun for some, but informal not-technically-enforceable rules like "only play words you have ever used or seen before in a sentence" keeps it fun and interesting and meaningful for people who play games for valuable reasons (like learning, or skill development, or humor) other than just the W and L. If you are afraid to make an elegant or humorous play because it harms your chances in the metagame or to win overall, you are shortchanging yourself and your play partners.
The main issue that I run into with this idea is that it would require cooking to be the only activity done at a time. I like to slowly prepare food over several hours, relaxing whenever there are steps that require waiting. Knead the bread, then do something else while it rises. Dice the tomatoes for the marinara sauce, then read a book while they simmer.
That was interesting, thanks!

I like this option. It reminds me of a similar issue (which eventually got native AWS support): S3 permissions.

Today, there's a "Block Public Access" button which basically says "I solemnly swear that I don't want anyone outside of my account to see this S3 bucket. Please don't put this bucket on the public internet, even if I screw up my bucket policy and/or ACLs"

The option is off by default, but it's easy to find, simple to understand, and doesn't force powerusers to give up control.

This may be very anecdotal but might help someone in a similar predicament. After reading Why We Sleep I think I got some explanation what happened to me, but at least for my case it seems it wasn't really on the money. I _was_ able to make the switch from night owl to an early bird myself so it's certainly possible, though requires some effort and dedication.

I naturally woke up at 10 am and didn't really like mornings, and my most productive periods were definitely 1-2am. Thats when the most exciting coding solutions seemed to come to me.

Then I started going to early martial arts training. Since I wanted to go before work, I had to wake up at 7:30. For about 8-9 months it was quite unpleasant, though the training sessions themselves were fun enough for me to want to continue.

But then something strange happened. I vividly remember the day I "switched". It was spring time and we just started getting our training sessions outside. It was intense enough that the guys decided to go shirtless and take in the morning sun. And at that exact moment, basking in the sun at 8am, during a demanding physical exercise I thought to myself - wow! this is so exciting, fun and natural. It felt a bit like a Chinese kung-fu movie. A very energising experience.

And from that exact day I start feeling sleepy at 11pm and wake up at 7:30 consistently each day and would feel awesome in the mornings.

This is I know very anecdotal, but at least I know it's possible. And the recipe seemed to be lots and lots of sun, outdoor activity and a very positive emotional feedback. This I think might be the biggest reason. Currently the most positive feedback we usually encounter is in the evening - late night YouTube / tv / internet / books / friends / family, ... even intercourse. Quite a lot of the stuff we look forward to happens in the evening. It makes sense that our bodies adapt to make us most alert when it senses we get the most bang for the buck. But if you reverse that and attempt to do the stuff you really like early, your body might adopt, albeit slowly.

I really don't understand this. But I really don't understand. Isn't a kitchen inside your house more convenient? I mean, then you can eat the food at home, which is much nicer than eating out.

Maybe if I'm trying to make something fancy, a fancy kitchen which is equipped with stuff I don't have would be useful? Paired with cooking lessons?

But if I want to make pancakes on the weekend before I put on my coat and boots, I need a kitchen at home.

What exactly do you mean by "in demand"? Obviously the demand is not zero but all of the evidence points to it being a tiny fraction of the overall phone market. If the SE was actually wildly popular I doubt they would have stopped making small phones.

I think that Behringer's entry into the modular space actually HELPS these bespoke manufacturers and is going to help them sell more modules (if behringer doesn't just outright buy them, like they've already done with outfits like TC electronic).

I'm not going to drop $5k on a starter modular setup. But I will drop $500 on one! And then $250 on Maths; something I would have never even thought about buying if I didn't have the rest of the modular to support it.

> Some Eurorack modules are more or less literal clones of "famous" designs. The only difference is the graphics. So cloning is not exclusively a Behringer issue.

Typically clones are made for vintage and hard to find gear, which Behringer (and many others) have done for years without issue. The specific recent problem with Behringer and why it's angering many members of the synth community is Behringer is actively cloning and undercutting products being made right now.

In the link above about the TD-3, the "DevilFish" mod is a mod Robin Whittle does for the out-of-production Roland TB-303. Behringer cloned the TB-303 to make their own unit, the TD-3. Not many people are upset about this.

They then contacted Robin Whittle, who created and sells kits for the DevilFish mod, and after being unable to come to an agreement with him, simply used his mod in their synthesizer. This is legal because there are no patents on the mod.... Kind of a dick move though.

Purely speculation, but they feel like the kind of company that would clone a Mutable Instruments module and conveniently ignore the GPL portion of the license when it suits them to.

They also hype product announcements in a way that seems like they're trying to poach customers. They didn't announce their Model D clone until just after Moog put up pre-orders for their re-issue. Then Behringer took over 2 years from announcement to sale. They've done similar things with Roland announcements. Releasing a "We're working on something very similar!" image on Facebook the same day as a sale announcement for a new product, and then never releasing the Behringer item.

And Lastly, Uli Behringer is a bad member of the community. He constantly has posts deleted by GearSlutz moderators for having false information. He attempted to sue several members of Dave Smith Music for talking negatively about him on forums outside of their day-jobs.
