A lot of the winter overheating comes from poorly insulated pipes, unmaintained steam valves, and broken radiator controls. I lived in Boston for a few years and had the same issue in my first spot - old apartment complex, big boiler in the basement, and way too hot in the winter.

Afterwards, I moved to a nicer but even older building where the landlord had bothered to retrofit a modern boiler with separate heating zones for the different apartments. Crucially, the radiators had new control valves the lines had modern insulation. It was like night and day. I think the retrofit cost over $10k, so like you said, the path of least resistance is often crappy heat.
I read in a news paper that one time this search party completely missed a young girl they were looking for.
Your logic would dictate that search parties are a waste of time.
Is open source a panacea? No, clearly, as you stated. Are more eyes, even untrained ones, better than no eyes? Ask all the people saved by search party volunteers every year.
Mate, shut up with the nonsense. There are many scientific concepts that originated in Asian/MiddleEastern civilizations that simply happen to have a European name because the latter person popularized it in the West.
I didn't think Costner's character even existed in real life but I'm also not convinced that fact detracts much from the film.
I recently had to give up on uMatrix. Not only is it a bit of a hassle, but things break in very bad ways. Where this is particularly problematic is with CAPTCHA (not a fan). I've been detected as a bot many times and it takes a bit to enable each little bit per detain (XHR, script, images, etc.), and by the time you enable all the right stuff, you may be locked out. The last straw was failing the CAPTCHA at Bill.com where I failed the CAPTCHA and was using a VPN and got my account banned and couldn't get paid for a contract. I'm also going to encourage people to not use their service as well, but this kinda thing happens far too often with uMatrix.

My home phone voip provider has calls to belarus at $0.25-$.30 (depends on destination), their terms don't allow automation though, so I won't link them. From what I recall of my time with automated voice calling, the voice api providers weren't too far above prices for my home phone, so I'm surprised there's a 20 cent premium.

That suddenly reminded me why I feel so privileged to not own a car, a distinct contrast from when I was a teenager and felt it was a rite of passage!

I had forgotten about the routine of fighting traffic tickets multiple times a year as a fact of life. Let alone fender benders. I had only been reveling in the lack of a frustrating commute.

Last decade I did get a car for 3 months, and the insurance company was so thrilled that I was "such a good driver" because of my "spotless record" for many years. Little do they know I just don't drive and perhaps have now less experience than others. Although tangentially, their risk matrix actually might be correct, if I can afford to live in dense desirable areas then maybe it is less likely that I would be going fast and getting into circumstances that pull from their insurance pool at larger amounts.

They probably thought "one of the largest companies in the world probably chauffeurs him down the highway in a bus anyway"
The link you provided to the SPARK user manual is a great reference. It explains how using the Ravenscar tasking profile in SPARK helps to avoid data-races and race-conditions. That, along with the ability to formally prove the absence of runtime errors and that your program satisfies various program properties and requirements are good reasons for people to seriously consider looking into using SPARK for critical parts of their software.
They should have named it after their key man, Wernher von Braun.
This comment demonstrates just how far Amazon has gone to shift the Overton Window[1] toward accepting counterfeits and outright fraud.

People will actually go out of their way to say things like "I don't mind being defrauded, I don't mind having my time wasted, I don't being fucking GASTLIGHTED, because I can just return the item(s) with ease."

I find it interesting when race is pointed out as a positive trait in some contexts but not others. E.g. a black engineer is a good inspiration for a black child because they are both black. Whereas if I showed my child a great white engineer because the engineer was white, I'd be criticised for being a racist. If race doesn't matter, why do we need more of x race as engineers? If race does matter, why isn't the current majority race allowed to have the same preferences/inspirations (consciously at least)?

Yeah, I didn't mean anything disparaging about Haskell at all. I only mentioned Haskell as an example of a functional programming language. I tried to make a point (apparently poorly) about the easy composition that using a limited number of (dynamic) types enables. Of course all the usual dynamic vs static tradeoffs apply. Thanks for doing a better job explaining that :-)

I had to go look that up again. It wasn't about this one incident. He wasn't even fired, he resigned after becoming the center of a huge protest movement on campus directed specifically at him (a self-described member of the conservative "Intellectual Dark Web"), then after suing the college for failing to protect him, and the resignation was part of the resulting settlement. Then he did the FOX tour and wrote an op-ed for the Journal and settled into his life as a conservative martyr.

Yeah, he wasn't fired to keep him from complaining about white absence day.

I'll adjust a bit and see how it looks on some production code.
You say “anybody”
But I’m not a programmer, I would have no idea what I’m looking at. And trust me, neither would the vast majority of humans.

Beyond that, have you considered the actual average user? You either never worked tech support or forgot. It’s bad out there, it’s like people are moving backwards with computer skills because of phones.
> 24-monthers never deeply learn how things work. They’ll typically add value to a new company by carrying a collection of things they’ve seen before and shallowly applying them to similar problems.

This reminds me of an old CTO I worked for that refused to hire anyone from a boot camp. And a CEO that turned multiple surfer candidates down because “they looked like a total stoner”. The term “24-monthers” is another example of this.

I think this simple surface level approach is lazy and ineffective. To hire great engineers, you have to put in the work to learn about and evaluate your candidates. Every person has their own background and story. Just because someone had some bad luck with their last couple startups doesn’t mean that they’re dumb or a bad engineer. It also doesn’t mean that they didn’t learn anything in their experience.

A big question to ask the candidate is why did they leave their last gig. It could be for the reasons the author mentions but there could be plenty of other reasons that are indicative of a high quality candidate. Again, as the hiring manager, you need to actually put in the work instead of making quick judgements on the surface.

And the final bit of “career advice” in this article’s conclusion is just silly. Almost no one leaves a company after 2 years because the “novelty” wares off. If the author took the time to ask they’d learn that people leave companies for a wide variety of reasons. Some good some bad. Grit for grit’s can turn into foolishness.
So do we want a “Central Department of Truth” to regulate Facebook?
I upvoted exactly for this.
The human input is providing the moisture trap (the concrete lid on the ground preventing water vaporising into the air), so of course plants will thrive there once the level of lime leeching out is low enough to be tolerable.

But in the end you have several tons of concrete covering tens of square metres of ground, to allow one or two square metres of cereal grains to grow. That is not particularly efficient use of time or resources.
Yet another reason web apps are generally better for security than native!
Do you know if the new ios will bring back (?) fine grain controls over microphone access? You can either give rights to an app for access or no access at all, which is really bad and IIRC through the "while using only" option in ios versions before was more respecting of customer privacy. If Apple removed granular mic controls before the current ios version, I really don't understand why.
> This is a widespread thing that's going on in our culture right now

Is it? I never see stories about it. Can you elaborate?
I'd say it's much more willingness to be a bit psychopathic. Most people wouldn't compromise their integrity to move into the C-suite. The competition is fierce, so the people who make it to the top are the people who /are/ willing to do anything to move into the C-suite.

I've also done work at that level, and some people outwardly appeared as sleazeballs, some almost radiated charisma and integrity, but when you got down to it, at the organization i was at, all were evil, backstabbing bastards.

Middle managers saw a lot of that, but tended to be decent people. And line employees never saw that -- middle management shielded them.

Good books to understand these dynamics better:

* Dictator's Handbook.

* Power, by Pfeffer.

Disclaimer, since I got jumped on this before: This refers to big organizations. If you're the CEO of a 5-person startup, this doesn't apply to you.
Not sure if it’s exactly what you’re talking about, but something similar is pretty common in China as well. I’ve heard people call the system “solar power“, but what they’re referring to is effectively a tank of water on the roof that is heated by the sun which is used as the hot water source for showers, etc.
It doesn't reveal "the unique private key" that would be crazy, the revealed key is a public key. And mostly sites should not ask for attestation and users should refuse to grant it if asked (Firefox asks, you can just say "No" but I'd be comfortable with clients just always saying "No" on my behalf instead)

There are already designs if you are quite sure you must have attestation and yet you don't want device identification. You can do blinded attestation and agl has written up a much fancier approach on his blog too.

But again, Don't Ask, Don't Tell. The video shows this silly demo "Shiny picture" site asking for attestation and that's a bad idea you should not replicate, write "none" instead of "direct" and then the problem goes away for your site.

And it did, just not for newspaper reading (which was arguably still nascent in the 90's). Programmers have been using syntax-based coloring since approximately when there were color terminals. (Fun fact: you can setup colored man pages, which greatly improves readability imo.) That the web has been a step backwards for client side design is lamentable, if expected. User-side CSS was supposed to set us free. But I don't recall the last time I did that for a site, unless you use reader-mode.
The dedication to his deceased wife hit me in the feels.

> To the beloved and deplored memory of her who was the inspirer, and in part the author, of all that is best in my writings- the friend and wife whose exalted sense of truth and right was my strongest incitement, and whose approbation was my chief reward—I dedicate this volume. Like all that I have written for many years, it belongs as much to her as to me; but the work as it stands has had, in a very insufficient degree, the inestimable advantage of her revision; some of the most important por- tions having been reserved for a more careful re-examination, which they are now never destined to receive. Were I but capable of interpret- ing to the world one half the great thoughts and noble feelings which are buried in her grave, I should be the medium of a greater benefit to it, than is ever likely to arise from anything that I can write, unprompted and unassisted by her all but unrivalled wisdom.
> as a non-native speaker I’m always shocked by these basic errors made by natives

After some years of living in an English speaking country, I started to make these native errors myself. Maybe they are not native, after all.

I tend to take a dim view of the phrase "can be" because it's so weak. It's logically equivalent to "may not be" and is entirely consistent with "essentially never is".

But sure, the heat pump in your future home may well be much better than whatever they were doing decades ago. I don't know if my apartment used ground heat, but I doubt it.
The point of the comment isn't to claim security is binary, but rather that if we're making a distinction between "secure" or "not secure", the walled garden contributes nothing to the distinction.
Yes - I mean why hasn't the App Store review process already caught this in previous versions of iOS? Why do we need to wait for the technical capability to be surfaced to users?

How are we supposed to know if the app's continuous request for clipboard access is ok or not?

I feel like that was literally the only value-add in the App Store review process and the fact that its a feature in iOS seems to indicate that Apple is throwing in the towel here and saying "we don't know if this is a privacy issue or not so we will just notify you about it".
> unless you've gone through the process of writing code it's impossible to understand just how pedantic and explicit you need to be when building software

Preach! This was something I did not understand when I was only doing non technical product stuff. Now that I build I look back on my interactions with developers differently. I feel their pain so to speak.

I don’t know if builder tools like this thing perhaps create bumpers around the many pitfalls associated with turning analog into digital, but I’d presume eventually they’ll get good enough to act like the automated customer service you get from amazon support chats.

Not necisarily top, but three that come quickly to mind
Security is about layers, and these days you don't know private entities aren't abusing nation-state capabilities and databases... beyond that, I disagree. Especially in this current state of things with things like protests going on, it's naive to think the same cointelpro tactics aren't being applied to protestors and even those just associated with them in the social graph (like they were to occupy). Fus1on centers for one do this sort of thing unconstitutionally and have access to most of the same databases besides being regional.
I'm curious if you see 3rd party vendors being useful in this space. e.g. one person consultancy that can use Retool to quickly build out internal apps for other orgs that aren't able to get any internal dev resources
How will they be able to police this - won't it be like fake accounts on Facebook or Twitter? Very easy to setup a new account?
Can old philosophical texts like this be used in legal arguments and affect the outcome of a trial or a court's judgement? Just curious.
I would argue that the level of success and contribution despite racism, which is a significant hurdle, makes it so that nothing is being inflated.

Also I get your point that at NASA and in the USA we have mostly white scientist until recently, but I take issue with your statement about the majority of scientific achievements.

Historically there are thousands upon thousands of Arab and Chinese scientific achievements, to name a few cultures that aren't white. I don't think that is what you meant though.
I totally agree.

I've worked with multiple companies who've had some form of no-code products. In every case, incorporating the full gamut of business requirements entails in too much of configuration and complexity in the UI. At this point, there are only two options left for the user -

1. get trained in the software which itself is time consuming and a challenge

2. ask the vendor company to create the app, which kind of defeats the whole purpose

A few other points -

1. People to whom no-code apps are targeted tend to be in the management rather than the actual users of the system. Management is usually aware of the bigger picture or the more complete workflow.

2. However, managements requirements tend to be more around tracking, reporting and monitoring.

3. The last issue being management tends to get caught up too much in the UI rather than the underlying functionality.

Unless no-code services restrict themselves to a very specific niche with clear workflows and fewer options of customizability, the products are bound to be cumbersome, complex and having a very narrow applicability.
The issue is that children are much more likely to see a white engineer and a black one, so you’re not really showing your child anything new.
