Honestly if I'm running a cable I'd rather run PoE over RJ45 and just have a second AP. PoE powered APs are cheap enough these days.
I used RLS 1.0 (through the VSCode RLS plugin) for a year or so before discovering rust-analyzer, and I just want to say, even in pre-alpha it is an astonishingly huge improvement. If you do Rust development, do not wait to upgrade. Type checks are instant. Inferred types get previewed inline, also instant. Autocomplete works as expected. Type errors are localized, which might have been my biggest frustration with the old RLS. In terms of developer experience it's like using a whole other language.
I think the author had a spat on twitter a while back because of the same question. There really isn't any excuse to not have TLS on your site, even if purely to thwart MITM injection.

Most arguments are BS but still keep popping up:

- heavy on the CPU (not with anything after 2006)

- hard to setup (not with LE + ACME)

- I don't process information (that doesn't matter/is not the reason, DPI, MITM come to mind)

- browsers can't handle it (lies, browsers handle it fine, unless you're using a browser from <2010)

Better yet: even if the resource/browser stuff were relevant, you can still leave http up and add https as an option.
Curated list to achieve visibility for your product / startup
The possibilities here with sufficiently sophisticated software and tunable hardware (deep learning of RF propagation characteristics in a building using data from portable sensors) are fascinating! But honestly, MOCA already solves this problem. The MOCA 2.5 standard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimedia_over_Coax_Alliance#...) already delivers 2.5gbit total (time-multiplex) throughput which is more than enough for real-world no-compromise bidirectional gigabit ethernet on isolated runs or distributed backhaul to multiple wifi APs. I'm using this in my (115 y.o.) house now where new cable runs are impractical and the coax plant is unused.
Secure Multi Party Computation (SMPC) Explained Visually
> People like to say Time Magazine made the mistake, because it blows it out of proportion and sounds better. If you say that one writer - David Johnson - made a mistake, it entirely loses its punch.

Publications have editors on staff to check what they publish, before they print and distribute millions of copies of every sentence in the issue. There's a longstanding and ubiquitous norm that publications are absolutely responsible for what they publish, and for good reason. You may as well say that Facebook isn't responsible for its norm violation du jour; just the PM who thought of it and the couple engineers that implemented it.

(which isn't to say that this is anything more than mildly amusing, but claiming that attributing the error to Time instead of one of its writers is "blowing it out of proportion" couldn't be more wrong)

I don't see him saying that on reddit, and this appears to be another right-wing conspiracy theory about him[1].

The actual idea, which he doesn't particularly seem to be "pushing", is to have invisible tattoos injected into people in the developing world as an immutable vaccine record, not an ID. It's not unlike the way vets give dogs a small tattoo dot when the dog has been spayed. Medical records don't always survive or travel with patients.

I'm curious what the argument is for overriding config files with ENV vars, rather than vice versa. I'm not saying it's wrong, it's just not something I've considered before in terms of prioritisation if you have competing settings in both.
Many of Google's recent market practices feel very much like those of Microsoft in the late 90's, early 2000's. Producing unappealing products, and trying to use their influence to (unsuccessfully) deter users from switching to comeptition.

> Fact: Unless you are buying some major debris, bean quality is not very important

That doesn't reflect my experience. If you buy fancy single origin beans, the taste varies wildly from region to region. I think within a region the taste differences mostly come down to roasting, but an Ethiopian and Kenyan coffee aren't going to taste the same at all.

To me the best quickie coffee explainer I've seen is https://static1.squarespace.com/static/52d4cb70e4b0ba94ab0ae... . The coffee control diagram is basically everything you need to tell a new wannabe coffee snob.
It is as often as you change things. Also configuration.nix isn't just a list of packages to install and services to enable, it's also a configuration of various system components.

I'm quite new to NixOS and recently tried home manager, which basically manages your home, primarily all dot files, but goes as far as preinstalling favorite extensions on Firefox for example.

I think it’s important to distinguish between what the American people want and what the system produces. The majority of Americans support policies that would make a more compassionate society.[1] But these policies don’t get traction or passed due to a corrupt system that fails to represent people.

[1] E.g. the latest Medicare for All poll shows overall 69% of Americans support it, rising to 88% of Dems support it. So overall the population wants it yet it doesn’t happen. You also see similar disconnect between what people support and what we have with other policies that would make American society more compassionate one.

Clinical experience and research indicates that validation of the person’s felt experience is usually going to lead to more efficacious resolution of their symptoms. I.e.:

“That sounds really hard! I’m sorry to hear that.”

Then, just wait! don’t say anything else (yet...). Just BE with the person in however they respond. You don’t need to solve their experience by offering any of the rest — those statements can work later, and it’s important to follow the organicity of their process and not go too quickly.

When we are given space, permission, and a safe witness to our feelings, this is one way to facilitate the resolution of trauma — our bodies know how to do this, naturally.
My country is on that list.

The president/government is using Twitter to:

* Order military lockdowns in cities

* Defect blame to all political oponents

* Threaten to shutdown the largest bank and mobile phone operator

* Bot networks that attack any dissenting view

* A government official publicly using the twitter api to identify tweets from the oppositon

* Order the military and police to use letal force if someone does not comply.

We've had somewhat working separation of powers.

It is terrible to see my country turning into an autocratic rule, and how the government is misusing Twitter to make that happen :/
The Python Pickle Module: How to Persist Objects in Python
Already has, in fact. I was considering taking a personal project I’d been working on public and offering it to others. Whether paid or free, I fall under the requirements of GDPR. I spent quite literally hours reading through everything I could find about what exactly a company of my size (1) needed to do.

Even after I wrote the code to handle DSARs for me, I decided it just wasn’t worth it. In order to be comfortable I would need to hire a lawyer to review things (and continue to pay him to keep on top of changes as things make it through court cases), put together things like an official TOS, worry about whether I could include any analytics services in my product to see if customers were getting frustrated with a particular page... all to launch a free service with no clear path to recurring revenue. And that was on top of the existing worries of having customer data that I want to make sure is secure.

Europe (and increasingly the US) sees corporations as all being huge tax avoiding monoliths of evil. Well, legislation like this will eventually prove them right because only the Googles of the world will still be able to afford compliance.

You don't have to go back far in time, 1918 my grandfathers on both sides lost entire families to the Spanish flu. And then some more in the wars. My granddad was a survivor, but he was scarred enough, that he exhibited some of the symptoms of PTSD. But, there was a collective loss and people thought in terms of a society. Do we have a social support structure left in this country?
Personally I'd love to see an article that could relate those techniques to current cloud technologies (if it's possible?)

Investigation of a Micro-Fighter/Airborne Aircraft Carrier Concept [pdf]
We are moving into a world where every thing we do will leave a data history behind. To take a single example of a single act of buying a milk at the store: The store want a record in order to manage inventory, sale history and sale predictions. They also want location path data in order to determine effectiveness of product placements. Your bank want a record in order to facilitating money exchange and manage money laundering laws. The recipient bank want a record too to do the same for the store owner, but also to keep track of the market which the store is under. The government want a record in order to know how much money has changed hand and for what product in order to determine taxes for the seller and buyer. The mall want a record for the location of the store you bought the milk and how you traversed the mall to reach it in order to evaluate property values and advertise placements. Other milk producers and milk alternatives want a record in order to make a better case arguing for their competing product. The secret police want a secret record in order to verify that you did not buy something that could be made into a threat. The regular police want a copy of the record and a video record in case a crime happened while buying the milk. The local government want a location record in order to manage traffic of people who travel around in order to buy milk. The health department want a record to help researcher determine the potential benefit of milk drinkers.

GDPR is really just a small stop gap to manage a fraction of all the records we leave behind. It is unlikely to be the last one trying to create the laws needed to handle the fact that everyone a record of everything everyone does, but that we also likely going to end up where everyone has a record of everything everyone does because it saves money, makes strategies more efficient and reduces the need for manual labor. Unrestricted data records has a history full of recorded abuse, and a lot of current use today is explicitly designed to harm people by manipulation and predatory strategies. GDPR is a small step forward, but it is mostly just testing the water for the real legal work needed to make the behavior of all those data collectors safe enough that a person can do something as simple as buying milk at the store without exposing themselves to harm.
Stupid question here, but isn't it possible that experiencing violence and death isn't as highly stressful/traumatic if it's to you like water is to a fish, to borrow your phrase? Especially if you have some sort of belief in an afterlife to console you. Just a question from someone who knows very little about this.

Man AIDS was scary in the 90s. Fun to see the same conspiracy theories come back for Covid.
I think the use of "The" as part of the name also matters.

"The Patriots are winning" sounds OK to me as an American. "The Patriots is winning" sounds totally wrong. "Arsenal are winning" sounds fine, "Arsenal is winning" also sounds fine.
Definitely don't get down on yourself--going through periods of low- and high-productivity is normal. I get burned out at work multiple times each year (I do mostly technical writing, training, and support). It just depends on how you look at things and how you measure success. I'm not a 10x developer, so I don't measure myself against 10x tech bloggers or other "experts". I just break my learning goals down into small, manageable tasks and revise as needed.

My measure of success is being able to understand development at a lower-level. Learning new languages, frameworks and building side projects helps me through the low periods and enables me to work more fluently with developers.

I have experience with Javascript and VueJS from a couple of years ago, so my goal is to catch up with modern JS (ES6+), brush up my JS core knowledge (not just frameworks) and learn ReactJS. It's very likely that I won't finish everything on my list this month, due to other obligations, but that's ok. I'm not competing with the experts out there, I just want to learn new skills and build things that I couldn't before. I also have a bit more time now that I'm stuck at home on evenings and weekends.
Tagging Docker images for fun and profit
Many sites have a toggle switch (a binary selection option) available in the page's main navigation. Adding in a third state complicates the UX for what should ultimately be a simple thing.

The article shows three separate buttons. That would take up too much real estate in an important part of the page.
Good suggestion. Code snippets showing the naming style they use:

Do you have access to CLion or just Intellij? I ask because CLion has real debugging support that, to my knowledge, Intellij does not have (CLion has built in ties to GDB that the other lacks).
Meh, it's all in the intonation.

And if you preface it with 'really', it doesn't mean you're not lying, it makes it more like 'bloody' good. (With possible implication that this was unexpected, again depending on intonation.)
It could be sorted out with a friendly begginers SDK, but Khronos sees that as responsibility for the partners, they just do specs.
Surprised to not see schematic design entry for FPGAs mentioned in the comments. It's still considered heresy by professionals, but i think there can be some benefits to doing the top level design schematically so you can see at a glance how the major components connect to each other and the external interfaces. Things do become quickly unmanageable if you try to define all the logic that way, but if you limit it to just wiring black boxes together i would argue it can improve readability.
Don't forget that WW1 was one of the first wide scale wars where it was common to be "blown up", and for some people, several times. Today we know that the actual act of being in a shockwave has long term real physical effects on the brain based on studies on soldiers blown up by IEDs. I wonder how much different that type of trauma is from trauma incurred by witnessing something.

> Google and Samsung had to adapt Microsoft's HLSL compiler to target SPIR-V, because plenty of game developers weren't willing to write GLSL, or to port their shaders.

What is your argument here exactly? Isn't it one of the stated benefits of Vulkan, that because of SPIR-V as a shader language, developers can choose whatever high-level language they write to implement shaders in?

If developers can target Vulkan without re-writing their shaders that seems like a sign of strength not a sign of weakness.

Not sure why the snark is called for - FTA explicitly calls this out: “ (There is, by the way, a very good way to harness rain for renewable electricity: let geography concentrate the water into a river, then build a dam and a hydroelectric plant!)”
That's a statement from a politician, not a scientific result. He's not predicting "almost there", he says they "could" reach herd immunity within a month. And that 30% with immunity number quoted is wildly off from the actual research already done on this stuff in Italy and New York. In fact the back of my envelope tells me that it requires an even higher asymptomatic undercount than even the Stanford study did.

This isn't evidence. You're reading spin. The article even tells you that.
New Zealand claims 'elimination' of coronavirus with new cases in single digits

My grandmother has nine children. Seven of those survived and two did not. This was very common in the area she lived then. To this day, however only in private moments, she talks about the two that did not make it. The loss of the two children many decades ago still brings her a lot of pain. She gave the name of one of the children that did not survive to a later child, however that never erased the suffering.

I think we should be more kind to our ancestors. Just because they lived in fucked up times, compared to our current standards, does not mean they experienced a different quality of suffering.
> Your goal as a scientist is to devise experiments that can disprove a claim about the natural world.

If this claim was true, it would disallow science to make true claims, because no experiments can disprove such claims. Truth is a delicate matter and can't be handled by simple methods. Questions may not be settled, but they can be difficult to challenge.
Running 2.4ghz or 5.8ghz over run-of-the-mill coaxial cable will introduce a lot of losses. It'll have to be low loss stuff similar to LMR400 to really be useful, I'd think. This would only be feasible if such coax already exists. Otherwise it's cheaper to run multiple access points.
That is no longer true.

The problem with depending on corporations to "not be evil" is that corporations change with successive generations of management, new owners, etc.

Honestly friend, I will never be able to thank you enough.

My four year old has lost a lot during the pandemic. I like to show her things that I know she will like and space is one of her passions. Unfortunately, she’s four so her questions can go from low level, to profound, to areas where I just don’t have a bloody clue.

You have already really helped me help her. Can I ask for a favour? If you have any links you like, videos you enjoy or films/book recommendations, would you mind sharing them? My kid’s interest in astronomy far exceeds my knowledge and at this point, I don’t even know what questions to ask! :)

Edit - Sorry not to add this originally, but don’t worry about things like age appropriateness or what have you. She’s into lots of things that I’m baffled by, from My Little Pony to astronomy.
You mean your government's enforcers are incapable of understanding the internet and the law, never mind the interplay between those two (because the wages the government pays guarantees that such people won't be working there).
