What's the deal with DNSSec for ordinary websites?

Even if don't use Cloudflare (or Google Cloud, which also supports DNSSEC), signing your zone has gotten pretty easy.

All of the major authoritative DNS servers support automatic DNSSEC signing and automatic key rollover of the Key Signing Key (KSK) and Zone Signing Key (ZSK).

For example, here's the configuration for automatic DNSSEC signing for Knot DNS [1]:

zone:
- domain: myzone.test
dnssec-signing: on

That’s all that’s required to DNSSEC sign a zone using Knot’s default settings. But if you want all of the bells and whistles, you can have that too.

Let me say just having SSHFP support thanks to DNSSEC turns using SSH from annoying to "it just works" [2] if you admin a server.

Setting up DNSSEC was difficult back in the day, but it’s pretty easy now.

Pretty much by definition in countries with large populations of old people, the current governments largely rely on the vote of those old people to stay in power. This makes the cull-the-herd theory rather unlikely in my opinion. I think simple incompetence is a sufficient explanation.

I'm on -20 here so we don't care, but I wish these were "tech" companies as that would benefit society through actual physical innovation, but having some servers and (trivial) logic does not deserve the label tech. ASML does, AMD does. Facebook? No way. Google.. maybe. Why not just advertisement industry?
gotcha, I looked it up, apparently EMC spun Pivotal out from an internal dept, but still maintained a majority stake in the company, then Dell bought both EMC and VMWare, and at some point Pivotal went public, but then I guess due to poor performance the price dropped so dell had VMWare buy it all back.

I'm guessing that's what OPs referring to when he says that the customers and investors were the same, probably most of their customers were other Dell companies.

It helps to use linear gamma when manipulating RGB values. Linear gamma fixes most issues with interpolating and mixing RGB values and that’s also why most modern CG pipelines use it. It produces the most natural results.
I wouldn't use WD-40 on firearms except maybe as an emergency rust preventative, and that's only if my favorite products weren't already available. There's just far too many better (and affordable) products, and there's just as many stories of WD-40 polymerizing and gumming up delicate parts as there are alleged uses of it. You'd almost certainly have to soak the guns in another cleaner or oil (like Ballistol, as eth0up suggests) before you could ever use them again...

In fact, I've used Ballistol to clean up and lubricate rollers on sliding doors that were previously gummed up from excessive use of WD-40!
I concur with GP - but here in Australia we're run by fantasists, so it's not going to happen here either.

> Now long would you maintain that quarantine?

I'd suggest start with 2 weeks, and reassess after 10 days. I note that in TFA Italy's administration extended this (initially) out to the 3rd of April, which seems like a reasonable timeframe.

Incarcerated people rioted ... and a churlish part of my brain suggests that's just to be expected, but each nation state can learn from, and put more effort into educating than, the earlier pioneers.

> Is there some amount of time after which the virus will go away?

We don't really know - but it sounds like a rhetorical question(?).

I know that I'd be happy with a two week lockdown - option to renew - here in AU ... especially if it reduced my chance of dying. The numbers cited in TFA are suggesting a 3% mortality rate now, and massive propagation rates and embarrassingly poor treatment / survival rates even in a first world country early on in the pandemic cycle.

> Any call for drastic measures, even when drastic measures seem like common sense to some people, need to explain why the measures should be implemented and under what circumstances they should be lifted.

I'd invert your usage of the precautionary principle and ask, given what we know so far, why the default response isn't to shut down non-essential travel and public events for a couple of weeks.

Professional advice is not necessarily the best political advise, unfortunately. It's a giant PR/social-media game and they have to play it otherwise the other side will get the upper hand. It's very unfortunate that we've turned "democracy" into such a game instead of a mechanism for societal-level decision making.

I'm completely unsurprised by what you're describing. I observed similarly disturbing behavior waiting in line @ Home Depot the other day. A customer was excited to find they had hand sanitizer in stock, and another customer told him there's a whole aisle full of the stuff and that all the covid stuff is fake news which devolved into nonsensical madness between yokels I had to just walk away from. Of course our Home Depot had some in stock, we're in rural bumblefuck middle of nowhere. Our stores only run out of things when the employees forget to do their jobs.

Not exporting? They might say that, but in reality they are actively promoting themselves. They also kidnap other countries citizens in third party countries and lock them up without proper trials. See their treatment of Gui Minhao (sry if spelling is off). When things collide (and they will), China will not only care about their own issues with their own people on their own turf, but actively meddle.

I'm not judging, just want to bring some balance to this "truth" you speak of...
> If you quarantine and the virus is controlled, then it looks like you panicked over nothing, because you took this huge reaction and nothing much happened.

Nails it. You could be so good at your job that people think your job isn’t even necessary; or you could be putting out fires caused by your incompetence all day every day and people think you’re a hero.

Removing staff from stores will make my life considerably less independent. I am blind, and depend on staff to help me find the items I need. In such stores, I imagine it will only be possible to buy stuff if you bring your own assistant. That is a considerable change in flexibility. When I have to organize assistance just to be able to buy butter and bread, things will be substantially more complicated.
Given that web accessibility is also breaking left and right, I truly wonder how long it will take until I really don't feel at home on this planet anymore. I am guessing in 10 to 20 years, technology and the "progress" it brings will totally have killed accessibility.
That is the difference between a democracy and a republic.
> I've never understood why modern GPUs don't address the programmability restrictions with a minimal CPU core on die.

They basically do. There's a minimal "core" that does things like branching and that core manages a bunch of threads that all execute the same instruction in parallel. But there's a lot of those minimal cores still, so transistors spent on it need to be worth it. Spending transistors to make a nicer programming model means fewer transistors spent going faster.

Alternatively the design you're looking for is Intel's Xeon Phi, which died. Intel's Xe looks maybe more traditional GPU in architecture but TBD, it might be less restrictive in this regard. Maybe.
We don't have a mortality rate because we don't have an understanding about the amount of cases that go unreported.

I thought it was fair until I found out they were taking something like 20% from the sitter on top of charging me a service fee of 5% or so.

This conversation actually made me curious what the actual value of that insurance is.

According to this source, at retail prices dog walking insurance costs 500$ a year for comprehensive coverage, or about 40$ a month: https://www.petsits.com/petsittinginsuranceusa

Rover takes almost 40$ in service fees for one weekend of boarding my single dog!

I appreciate the value of insurance, I kind of appreciate the Craigslist+ role they serve, but at the point where more than 25% of my payment is never making it to the sitter... Rover is just burning my money to fund a bloated payroll and lofty valuations
I bought a tesla 700 miles away and drove it home the same day.

As to RVs and vans:

- the cybertruck ships in the next year with 500 miles range, and will charge at 250kw/1000 miles per hour

- the tesla semi is coming soon

- other companies are entering the game

- people have been putting lithium ion batteries in their RVs.

- EVs have electric air conditioners now.

Separately I will say if you're driving an RV 5-800 miles in a day (regardless of power source) that's a really hard trip. I find 300 miles in the saddle taxing and 150-200 lots nicer. Leave, drive and arrive during daylight hours and enjoy the trip.
So how many weeks for 10 orders of magnitude? Because it feels like you extrapolate linearly...
Yes. I was dead shocked when I took a brand new Audi rental car on the German highway. Per 150 miles driven I probably had one severe incident, including: sudden deceleration from 100mph to almost full stop with no car in front but a couple behind, the car actively steering out of the lane (construction site, straight lane), sudden deceleration when the car in front leaves the highway and slows down (but I stay on the highway), not detecting the giant SUV in front of me and almost rear-ending it. On a 400miles drive I usually have ALL of the above. I never had an accident in 20 years of driving.
From developing software I know: your users may interpret the UX differently from you or your designers and communicating well with your users is hard. In these circumstances I am always thinking: like what the heck are those Volkswagen people thinking about how the 5% of people having a different interpretation of this user interaction will end up!? I mean, how often do people end up doing things with software nobody expects them doing? “Oh, lets give them a functionality that completely ‘out of the blue’ potentially kills them every 200miles”.

I would prefer that root certificates have restriction on what they can sign, eg. a Khazachstan root certificate can't legitimately sign a .com certificate. I think that not having this is a fundamental flaw in the certificate setup.

Promoting themselves, sure. But that is not the same as exporting (imposing their system on others, claiming that others are evil for not following their way). Wanting to have a good image is not the same as exporting. All countries talk about themselves in a positive manner In order to uphold their image. Why shouldn’t China do the same? Nobody else is going to do it for them.

You can disagree with their claims. But that is not the same as arguing that any form of self promotion is bad.

Of course, China is far from perfect. Bad things do happen, I am not denying that. If we are speaking about balance, then I think that in western discourse the balance has tipped too much towards the ‘china is always bad in every aspect’ side, totally ignoring or actively denying the good sides, and ignoring equally bad things that happen in their own places.

Will China meddle when their interests are threatened? Of course, and so will any other country in the world.

If China’s interests conflict with yours, then it is fine to point that out. It is not fine to paint them as the bad guys just because they have conflicting interests. And even then, such issues can be resolved peacefully: China has shown that it is interested in negotiation and being reasonable. You wouldn’t believe how much land China has given up since the 40s as part of negotiation deals with other countries. It is time to stop this cold war mentality where it is us vs the evil commies who are out to conquer the world.
maybe they could get the thorium cycle going for a small scale reactor; that would have the potential to make a big change if the cycle could be adopted to large power stations as well as small ones.
We need some meta tech innovation that precludes these slippery slope scenarios. Otherwise we’ll be in innovation paralysis because all roads lead to big brother.
> On the Q8, the FlexRay bus has cycle time of 5 ms, so each ECU can send messages at 200 Hz.

That's weirdly worded. The cycle repeats (disregarding multiplexed PDUs) every 5 ms, but there are lots of messages within a cycle.

Even on CAN, it's not uncommon to have > 2000 msg/s (looking at Daimler trucks with 70% utilization).
Darwin will solve this irresponsibly stupid behavior. Causing a lot of collateral damage unfortunately.

My algorithm has been: play until I get sick of the nonsensical inventory-management minigame (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/14/f1/e8/14f1e8a75445df681e72...) and then running player.setav CarryWeight 1500.

As an engineering manager, it seems like the full time job is either meetings or communicating the results of those meetings to someone who can act on them. I've done some mixed roles, and I think that's the only balance that makes sense. It's also good for a manager to have empty time (i.e. they shouldn't be expected to write code or whatever).

Meetings themselves aren't so bad, but when I was a manager, our meetings would require a half hour drive somewhere, or going up to the 40th floor of some building, preparing slides, charts, and so on. Sometimes you need to bring in an expert/consultant/trainer and brief her on the project prior to the meeting.

Most of the work is around those meetings. You can have 20 hours of meetings scheduled per week, and that translates to 30-40 hours of time blocked off and 10-20 more hours of writing reports, updating Jira, answering emails, taking screenshots, and so on. If you've got a remote team, that's even more workload.

The longest meeting we've had was about 3 days long, 9-5 straight UI/UX workshop. The client balked at this at first - they have their share of meetings already, but afterwards everyone agreed it was 100% worth it. It was the only way to get a lot of stakeholders in the room, and it killed a lot of assumptions - we had UX requests that were not technically possible, UX that didn't fit user behavior, underestimated the robustness of some hacks that a dev/now engineering manager made 3 years ago, and so on.
This is a crucial article at a crucial time.

"Nearly two weeks after the new coronavirus was first found to be spreading among Americans, the United States remains dangerously limited in its capacity to test people for the illness, an ongoing investigation from The Atlantic has found."

Now that community has been verified, widespread testing seem very warranted. Without widespread testing, neither health authorities nor average people know what to do.

NUL-terminated strings are a poor representation, feature-poor and directly responsible for a great many entirely avoidable bugs.

I much prefer the approach used by languages like Rust, where &str and &[T] are (pointer, length) rather than just a pointer.

Usage can be identical to your classic NUL-terminated string, depending on the language. (It is in Rust, with CStr.)

There is only one potential disadvantage: pointers use twice as much memory; but in practice, this disadvantage is entirely theoretical.

But there are several serious advantages: it lets you represent zero values (U+0000 for &str, integer zero for &[u8], &c.), take slices that aren’t suffixes (reducing either code complexity or memory usage, sometimes drastically), calculate the string length in constant time (and that’s regularly a big deal), and avoid a pitfall that has been the cause of many critical security vulnerabilities (buffer overrun).

Want to break a string into tokens on delimiters? Easy, regardless of the length of the delimiter (it could be zero, two, seventeen—while with NUL-terminated strings it had to be one), without needing to worry about whether it’s safe to mutate the string.
One junk chocolate cake piece can leave me with 1-2 days of constant cravings for junk sweets. Where my mind constantly pops up thoughts of cookies and cakes and wants me to buy them and I must exert will to resist.

But, if I don’t eat junk sweets for 10+ days my taste and body just adopts and I don’t think about cookies at all. Even if I am at celebrations where people eat a lot of junk cakes, I don’t have to use will at all to stay away from them.

Processed sugar for me is more addictive for me than drugs.

Ordinary whole food carbs (I am a vegan so I eat a lot of unprocessed carbs) do not have that effect at all for me, quite the opposite in fact.

How about the huge difference of knowing that you give away your data and not knowing? There is nothing "fair" about it and just the fact that they are now gone from the stores should...I don't know...maybe make you think about that a bit?

PS: just because there are worse situations, doesn't make this a good one.
A submarine reactor uses very, very highly enriched uranium not suitable for keeping outside a military installation and onboard a moving tank (with several inches of steel wall) due to security concerns, and the design of the reactor is pretty safe, but it's still using 60's reactor designs running 80's electrical control systems with 2000's PCs running those controls. Lesser enrichment would require a much larger reactor to get the same power, and we have newer gen reactors that are much safer, too.

So far all the jobs I took, it was not knowing the language and picking it up on the job. First job: PHP, Yii, Java, Android (I had a C/C++ EE background). Second job: cobbling together the whole back end. Third: JavaScript/Node. Fourth: Angular. Fifth: Cordova.

I actually crammed C# for two weeks for another job, but didn't get that one. In most of these jobs, it took about 1-3 days to start writing useful code.

I guess you could come in with 5 years of experience in something, but if they like you enough, you'll figure it out. Skill in a language or architecture also doesn't mean you have skill with the code itself. Like a language, the best way to learn is immersion.
