Almost certainly by smell.

I'm a trans woman, and when I started hormones, one of the first things my partner noticed was that my odor went from overpowering and musty to just kind of "stale". I can get away with wearing shirts 2 or 3 times between washings, or go without bathing for a day or two. That was definitely not possible before hormones (at least without offending the people around me).

So I'd say yeah, if even humans can tell the difference in most cases then a dog definitely would.
"ladder" is an anti-pattern. Contributers each have multiple responsibilities, and should be recognized and rewarded for their accomplishments and leadership in each area or responsibility. The idea of a single ladder to climb up (or fall off of, because stepping down is almost universally prohibited) is harmful to morale, retention, and team organization/effectiveness.
I guess this whole limited liability ordeal is making me wonder: why doesn't the FDA mandate that all meat packing happens in a clean-room environment?

I'm not sure if I'm serious about imposing that requirement, but it does beg the question of what type of health and safety measures are in place in meat packing plants for the consumer buying the meat _and_ the workers doing the packing.
Maybe nobody works for the end user ever, but some people work more for the end user than others.

If you work for a web site that makes its money by lead gen or advertising, you're often working against the end user. This isn't necessarily true, it's just how the incentives will align.

If you sell SaaS to the enterprise, you're not working for the end-user, you're working for their boss, or whoever else is making the purchase decision.

If you're selling a product directly to end users, and usability is a factor in whether or not they choose pay you, that's a little closer to working for the end user.

And, best-case scenario, if you are the end-user, or your boss is the end-user, then you can truly be working for the end-user.

I don't see how generators would change anything here. "with effects", "stateful", and the integration between the two are all equally important in the statement.
Thanks, didn't notice that at first.
Using my VPN, this site says access is not allowed. It seems very scammy / low-quality as a result.

This is very cool but I screwed up 2 of my "sigchains" to Reddit and to GitHub by deleting the underlying messages (I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to) so now two of my identities are messed up and I can't even use the app. I get this message: "panic: Unknown user status content-invalid (13)". Great project, but needs a better way to clean up invalid keys and re-issue them.
As a new user for sure I find it hard to get into the game - it would be nice if there was more information on how to do that.
I mean, sure, it is relatively impossible to get into. I wouldn't expect newbies to embedded programming to get their feet wet with these systems.

My complaint is that even the old hands in e.g. the demoscene aren't bothering to play with these modern embedded devices, when hacking on at-the-time-modern "happens to have a computer in it" embedded devices was exactly where the demoscene got started. Nowadays, for some reason, it's ossified into just building hacks for the same old retro devices that were popular in the scene 30-50 years ago; rather than exploring what can be done with modern appliances.

I feel like the only modern "playfulness" in exploring the capabilities of these devices, comes when someone writes a funny "we did it" screen to be triggered by their PoC exploit chain for some "secure" device at DefCon. But they never bother to go further than that and actually make it to something neat—because they're security people and that's not their thing.

Maybe it would be fruitful if there were an event where security folks and demoscene folks team up and collaborate—the security people to handle getting code to run on the device using known (if still only PoC) exploits; the demoscene people to explore the capabilities the resulting "access surface" of the device grants them, and create art demonstrating their findings.

I actually never used the term "for-profit" to describe the issues, for good reason. Money is useful only insofar as it helps you gain and maintain power -- it is power and the ability to influence reality to your benefit that is the fundamental quantity being optimized in this system. Framing the power grab as fundamentally about power (is obvious, and) makes it apparent that the Catholic church in your example wanted to maintain a public reputation positive enough to continue to earn donations and devoted followers, which is why they made sure to avoid prosecution since that's usually a huge hit to one's public reputation. So your comment about "The Catholic Church in Germany had it written into LAW" aligns with my point perfectly because again they are wielding influence to improve their circumstances, independent of considerations of the consequences for others.

So to get to your question: I am not being comparative here. I am attempting to study the fundamental drives that sustain and grow corporations. I am interested in contrasting what are generally considered "human rights" (in both positive and negative senses[1]) with what ends up being encouraged and perpetuated by the actions of those corporations as singular entities. My baseline to compare the actions of corporations is versus what I would imagine a compassionate superintelligence might do. Obviously this is biased toward my own ethics/morals but I think that's ok because I generally try to reduce suffering and make things more equitable.

My baseline is basically 1) what is "affordable" for the actors which are wielding their power vs the benefits for the people whom are subject to the consequences of the decisions of those actors, and 2) what those actors actually do with the money and power at their disposal vs what they could have done to improve the material conditions of a large number of people.

Using precedent as a baseline seems stupid to me... only consider the fact that the tradition of "law" is quite young and has been continuously shaped by those in power since its inception, and so shall not be a basis for moral or ethical understanding.

Those books shouldn't be judged by today's norms. They were not written for the children (nor parents... especially not parents) of today, but for children back then who lived in a completely different world.

For instance, in the version of Cinderella by Charles Perrault - the version that we all know - one of the evil stepsisters was advised by her mother to cut off her toes in order to fit the slipper. She almost fools the prince, but doves warn him about blood dripping from her foot. He then goes back again and tries the slipper on the other sister. She cut off part of her heel in order to get her foot in the slipper, and again the prince is fooled. While riding with her to the king's castle, the doves alert him again about the blood on her foot.

How about that for a good night story?
I have been running a personal server (FreeBSD) for close to 20 years now, and upgrading in place since 4.6. And once some hardware components fails (especially disk) I spend extra time figuring once again how I did it then. Having everything described in a configuration would take less time to do such fixes.

No, Google and Apple announced they are creating APIs and tools for governments to build apps - they are not releasing an App themselves.

"8. Who will create the apps and where do I find them?
Public health authorities will update or create apps which users may install if they choose to participate. Google and Apple will make available, as normal, the public health authority apps for each region in the Play Store and App Store."

In addition Google and Apple are US companies, and US has worse privacy law than Europe. The future may be each person or entity will self host their own data on a RasberryPi (or better yet BeagleBoard).
Our national security is already compromised at the Commander-In-Chief level, this will probably go ignored until it is out of control much like the pandemic itself.
The Clojure FizzBuzzes may be one-liners, but they are multiple statements, which I'd find easier to read on multiple lines.
They're trying to CYA for future ad campaigns, but they can't actually CTA their way.

No dice, Disney. The way this works is if you want to use the tweets shouted into the ether, you can, and if someone doesn't like it, they can sue you, and then the US (and probably international) law gets to figure out on your dime via the lawyers you will pay whether you misused the tweets.

... or, Disney does the not-lazy thing, gathers up the tweets, issues individual requests to use to every user who tweets into the hashtag, and only moves forward with the ones they get consent for.

... or, third option, Disney puts up their own website where users can submit tweets by URL, and submitting a tweet to that website (signed off by a user's Disney account) confirms the user is claiming they own copyright of the tweet and is authorizing Disney to use it.

But yeah, more than zero effort on Disney's part required.
Especially not to those who are working in meat processing plants. Is it enough? Probably not, but if you are working minimum wage with no benefits, $500 makes a real difference.
> Why would they risk people not adopting the app due to privacy concerns

UKGov has fairly well demonstrated their ambivalence to the well being of the UK population over the past few years. I imagine they're hoping to sneak in new surveillance apparatus with the power of societal pressure - after all, if you don't install the app, You're Riding With Corona. If not enough people install it to make it effective, eh, they'll try a different tack later.

I think the value of hiring more experienced folks to run social media (i.e. not an intern, someone with any amount of experience) is that they can actually point out how ridiculous this will come off, and argue against this type of tweet. It really doesn't take that much corporate self awareness to see how bad it looks to try to force TOS on free speech on a public forum.
I am a meat eater and huntsman, and I agree. Just say 'euthanised' or 'thrown away' or 'killed and wasted.' Treat readers like adults, not use euphemisms.

For that matter, it wouldn't surprise me were there a traditional term to use. 'Cull,' maybe?

You fail to make the case that the choice is the straw man presented: destroy America or let the virus run wild.

The US has an immense set of tools and strategies available that would, if used intelligently, certainly prevent America being destroyed without compromising public health.

However, many Americans, as seemingly you do, refuse to consider or admit that these tools exist and can easily be deployed if the political will supports them.

The only thing “destroying America” is right-wing politics refusing to use the tools available to counter the hugely deflationary step-function we are in.
What travelers.
That's precisely what war still is for many Americans too: a way to get cheap college, a guaranteed career, etc. Doesn't change the fact that it's still the poor being forced to take this option; the only difference is that it's the economy (controlled by the rulers) that's doing the coercion, instead of the rulers directly.
Not British, but from what I read, don't the British people trust the NHS even more than government and police, and so any pushback against an NHS recommended app or approach might be minor.
Not quite what I meant. I think the comic is excellent. In case its not painfully obvious, the joke is equating lay people's poor understanding of quantum mechanics to a child's misunderstanding of sex. It's not trying to dumb down the concept of quantum computers at all, it's just trying to point out how incorrect how dumb pop science simplifications of it are. The 'qubits are bits with a range of value between 0 and 1 that use quantum magic to test all possibilities at once' is utter fiction.
Probably scent, that's one of a dog's major senses. Not sure if it's the prevalence of perfumes or natural compounds.
>> flour can (should?) be frozen for long-term storage

It can be forzen but there are lots of difficulties in doing so. Top of the list is moisture. Frozen flower is cold. If you take it out and put it on the shelf flour will condensate moisture, quickly turing it into a useless lump. Microwaving it is difficult. You have to warm it in a totally dry environment. A frozen chicken breast doesn't have these issues.
Panic buying also fails to help them if they basically can't raise prices to take advantage of it. It's not like panic buying is going to line their pockets, and certainly nowhere near enough to compensate for the damages they seem to be suffering.
That’s the problem. Doing the reasonable thing is a career killer.
Your project is very cool. Could you help me fix my account though? I messed up two of the IDs: mfrager@github & mfrager@reddit. Will these be automatically purged from the keys.pub server after a certain amount of time for being invalid?
In the depths of World War II Britain, where food was extremely short, civilians were given a weekly ration of about a pound of meat and half a pound of bacon. (For comparison, modern Americans eat about 2 pounds of meat a week, which I think includes bacon.)

For better or worse, meat is considered an essential food. It would be disastrously, apocalyptically bad if it becomes unavailable.
I've seen maker-spaces where a billboard was set up that automatically displayed a rolling marquee of tweets that had been sent with #TheMakerSpacesHashtag in the shop.

... can't help but wonder if the space put themselves at risk for being sued over a copyright violation if someone didn't like their tweet on that billboard.
True. I meant that some of the struggles that they are facing in keeping parity with current Gecko development is because of the goals they have. I use Pale Moon sometime but it's performance on mac leaves a lot to be desired. I also worry about security issues on it ...
In case you test positive, and we actually have the resources to trace your contacts, your privacy will be gone in todays system for sure.

As you'll have to provide information about your recent contacts to the authorities performing the contact tracing. At least that's how I understand our local law (Germany).

So I don't think its necessarily worse doing it with an App than doing it the old fashioned way. Sure digital traces are always easier to abuse, but then on the other hand, because things get automated, actually less people might get access to your data. Which would be a privacy win.

I believe what's even more important than how we design the app, is how we design the legal framework around it. We do need rock solid laws, having enforceable data retention periods, and that limit access to the pare minimum needed.

Unfortunately, our track record for the design of such laws has not been too good over the last years.
This is more a reflection of the poor reputation towards privacy of Google rather than a rational response to the joint contact tracing specification issued by Google/Apple. The specification was clearly engineered to be as privacy conscious as possible and it would be very difficult to extract PII from stored data, but it looks like the well of trust is unrecoverably poisoned.

As far as I know most locations have rules on what a sign can look like and what it can do. I don't think it would be legal to have a sign with a powerful strobe lamp, one that shoots lasers in people's eyes to attract their attention or one that blasts loud music (which would be the equivalent of flashy, distracting ads that we see on the web).

Also with a restaurant sign there's a business behind it with someone that can be held accountable for it. If you see an obvious scam or a fraudulent service advertised you can complain to them or the authorities and get it shut down. With online ads they can be purchased either completely anonymously (maybe even with a stolen credit card) or by a shell company somewhere on the other side of the world where you would have no recourse.
> I don’t live at/in a restaurant, club, sporting event, concert, movie, or store for a week or more.

If I understand disneytermsofuse.com correctly and I am not a lawyer, they’re claiming #MayThe4th is a Disney Product under the terms therein? Or that the Twitter account is a Disney Product? Because the terms say:

> The Disney Products may ask for or allow you to communicate, submit, upload or otherwise make available text, chats, images, audio, video, contest entries or other content (“User Generated Content”), which may be accessible and viewable by the public. Access to these features may be subject to age restrictions. Whether a Disney Product made available by us or in connection with Disney Products appears on a Disney website, service and/or platform or is integrated with a third-party website, service, application, and/or platform, you may not submit or upload User Generated Content that is defamatory, harassing, threatening, bigoted, hateful, violent, vulgar, obscene, pornographic, or otherwise offensive or that harms or can reasonably be expected to harm any person or entity, whether or not such material is protected by law.

... and they continue like that for a few paragraphs. Doesn’t look like they’ve updated the terms to account for this use.

Either way, reminds me of when sites tried to block “links” or require their website terms to apply to simply linking to a site...
I prefer to have more control over my career than some (and less than others.) By control I don't mean that I get to choose what I am currently working on but rather that I can work towards what I will be working on in the future. Mid to large companies that are both well managed and filled with highly capable people tend to enable and encourage this as it can bake in resiliency and helps different parts from becoming siloed.

I would be more worried about an influx of pranks.
Thanks, that's definitely a feature that could be added. My original thought was that the line numbers in the after file are nearly always what one wants, since that's the version that your editor will most naturally be displaying. And I wanted to reduce visual clutter. Delta currently displays just the first line number of each diff hunk; not on every line. But that's also something that could be made configurable.

EDIT: In fact an issue was opened for this very recently: https://github.com/dandavison/delta/issues/130

Ideally, I think that a mouse click in an appropriate location in a terminal emulator window should open the user's editor on the correct line of the correct file.
Oh, I need to start doing that, that's really clever.
Well, what you quoted seems to suggest the use of that hashtag constitute "sharing".
The rice and beans that are in the supply chain now were planted several months ago, based on projected demand when they were planted. These supply chains are all interconnected.
Apparently you just need to trust GCHQ, who advised them. There isn't another agency privacy minded people would rather trust (apart perhaps its US and Chinese equivalents).
At work, we use feature branching extensively, and there's often somewhere between 3 and 6 active feature branches at any time. The graph view is a good way to keep track of what's going on overall, if you're watching it regularly and branch parents are within a screen or two).

Just earlier today I was working on testing a new feature that depended on 3 other independent fixes (basically, bugs found while I was building the feature). I did the fixes each as an independent branch, so I could get them in faster (before my new feature is done) plus to make the code review easier. The tree view is invaluable in testing my new feature to be sure I've merged the right fixes and am doing changes in the right branches.

I also use it very occasionally to isolate if and/or why a particular fix got into a specific release branch (or not). I think there's probably better ways to do this (eg using bisect) but I do it so rarely I haven't bothered to learn.
I certainly agree with you.

The article could have phrased it better, but instead chose a very hollow appeal to emotions over accuracy.
Not convinced you'd even a lawyer to fight this though. It's just so obviously wrong.

Not quite. For this to hold up, either:

- everyone has to silently acquiesce to this,

- Disney has to actually file a court case against everyone who violates their "terms" and win them all.

I think they're trying for the first option. Suing thousands of people for stupidly unreasonable reasons is not a good look, especially for a company where image is everything.
People are often intimidated by the official docs and hesitant to go there. And the docs you linked do not cover Docker Compose which is actually the point of this tutorial. Getting an application running is easy for most people, connecting it to a Database is not as easy as it requires some hand holding or an understanding of networking, configuration etc....

In a way the Docker part of this is just a prerequisite to get to Docker Compose. I've found that once people understand the compose part they start to see the bigger picture and get some curiosity about networks, databases and configuration which is not as easy to intuit from a single Dockerfile.

Also this whole tutorial is just one lesson in a much larger email based mini-series on DevOps: https://miniseries.opscentric.io/devops-career-success The progression in the series makes more sense than the standalone lesson.
