A long time ago I wrote a conditions system for python: https://code.google.com/archive/p/pyconditions/

I wouldn't recommend using it, but it is an interesting error/control model, and I always wondered why it hasn't seen wider implementation - I presume because it is closer to the "dangerous" end of the power spectrum.
I guess it's time to respond to every thread shitting on zoom with: Just use Jitsi Meet. https://jitsi.org/jitsi-meet/

It's free, it's open-source, and can be self-hosted.
All powered lawnmowers have these switches. Push types have the spring loaded lever on the handle that shuts the engine off when released, and riding mowers shut down when there isn't weight on the seat. This isn't exclusive to electric mowers at all.
That's still less than 1/5th of an acre even if you waste all that space for no reason. Keep in mind, Jeavons is trying to sell books and speaking engagements for his gimmick, not trying to be efficient. I grow much more than 4000 square feet of crops and I use zero square feet for storage and less than 1/10th of the growing space in paths.

Why are you using the `belly` suffix? Goldbelly has existed for > 10 years.
The article provides good value. But it would be better if the guy (Patrick) also included the script he used to reach out.

1. Research is important - no doubt about it. Without knowing your prospects, you can't do anything to persuade them.

2. Offer value - is also true.

3. Overcome obstacles - also true!

But I'll add one more - baby steps.

Baby steps means that you shouldn't ask to hire you in your first cold email. It feels like a lot of work to do and CEOs typically don't have the time.

Instead propose them a time when you can chat more about it so the CEO can see if you are a good fit, etc.

The interchange into v8 is indeed an issue, see another comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22745941.

> JSON parse is CPU-blocking, so if you get a large object, your server cannot handle any other web request until it finishes parsing

Well, your CPU core is busy on one request or another, so I don't understand why this is an issue as long as you're guarding against maliciously large bodies. Blocking I/O is different because your core is partially idle while other hardware is doing async work. Using Node.js' cluster module lets you keep more cores busy. Chunking CPU-limited work increases total CPU time and memory required. (This is a pet peeve of mine and a hill I'm willing to die on :-) .)

It just requires you to take some action on a recurring basis. Someone who is not trying to hide that they have a deadman switch on their phone doesn't need a game, they just need a button they can push to indicate that they are still alive.
Wow. They literally just phished me. I was distracted while installing Zoom and didn't look too carefully.

I had a bank do that to me too.

I was logging in and sure I typoed my password but it worked.

Then I tried typoing it again and it failed.

Then I started to wonder ... yeah after like 8 characters it just didn't matter.

I emailed them and did not get a response, but to their credit they fixed it within about a month. Maybe that was planned already but at least they fixed it.
judging from their past behavior towards security researchers they have done nothing that deserves responsible disclosure. responsible disclosure starts with responsible QA by the vendor.

That's why you set up your router/pihole to do DNS hijacking. Any DNS request gets rerouted to the DNS server of your choosing.
That's just because their approach to building secure software for the masses is garbage.

Overall, we are seeing record video traffic over the past week, and with that comes a ton of great challenges to work on at a huge scale.

I don't know how you got the idea of property or lack of trust here: my family know exactly what has been done and how to bypass it — I have taught my children to break unjust rules, but obey just ones based their moral judgement. The DNS filtering is for their protection, not their control.

ps. you REALLY ought to make your children wear their seat-belts in the back of the car, freedom be damned. ;)
> willing to basically do whatever I want him to do whenever and however long I want him to do it. In other words he’d be a good lackey.

This is unnecessarily condescending. When having to choose from a crowded field of seemingly-competent candidates, it's natural to want someone who is passionate and willing to go the extra mile. And as someone who is genuinely passionate to work in a certain industry or to work for a specific company, it is also smart to signal your dedication using tactics like what the author described.

Neither of the above warrants condescending to someone as "being a good lackey"

As a general response to negativity here (which seems to largely stem around technical concerns over what is implemented and how), I think this is cool and fine.

As a kid I would have figured out a way to get around this, and that would have been part of the fun, but, this option adds more choice to the market and that is a good thing.
This has more to do with information flow and reporting structure in healthcare care system not population size.

A Web App Using Bazel Golang WASM and Proto
Let’s assume this new X-ray technique is not actually an ordinary X-ray but really is a modification to a CT scan, since otherwise there’s no reason for them to compare it to an MRI.

A head CT scan delivers 40 mGy of radiation to an adult brain. The dose of background radiation the average human body gets per year in the US is 3.6 mGy. The average adult brain is 1400 cubic centimeters. The average adult body is 62000 cubic centimeters. 1400/62000 = 0.02258. So the brain is actually only exposed to 2.258% of 3.6 mGy of background radiation per year, which is 0.081288 mGy per year. 40/0.081288 = 492. This means a head CT scan is equivalent to 492 years worth of background radiation blasted into the brain in the span of 10 minutes.

A transatlantic flight exposes your entire body to 0.1 mGy of which your brain only receives 0.002258 mGy. 0.002258/0.081288 = 0.028, and 0.028*365 = 10.22. This means a transatlantic flight exposes your brain to 10 days worth of background radiation over the span of 20 hours.
