Fair point.

Though I feel like in any modern app deployment scenario that isn't going to be a meaningful defensible boundary.

The answer is to use neither, especially given the number of times I've used a path traversal vulnerability to expose /proc/self/environ on a pentest, and the one time I was frustrated on a pentest when every app in the environment used a dedicated API for secret retrieval and the path traversal vulnerability I had access to was worthless.
This article does not really debunk anything as it seem to use some very poor chains of reasoning:

"If we are using only 10% of our brains, that means a person would be fine if the other 90% of the brain got removed. 10% of the 1400g average brain is 140g—that’s the size of a sheep’s brain.4 Since I doubt sheep have their own 90% hidden potential myth, it makes no sense that humans have advanced so far as a civilization by using only part of their brains equivalent in size to a sheep’s brain."

1. That using 10% of brain means 90% can be removed. Where did that logic come from?

2. That size of the brain is important (i.e. the size of a sheep brain is relevant to human intelligence, this is a poor argument as an elephants brain is much larger than a human's)
It was post Silk Road that I started reading researching - I forget exactly, but may around 2015/2016?

There were huge markets after Silk Road, though admittedly I don't know how size compared to Silk Road (e.g. AlphaBay, Agora, Nucleus, Hansa).
>One might argue that if you want to make an OS easy to use (let's say as a desktop operating system for non-technical people) just the fact that the user has to open a terminal might be a problem.

For all the talk of how easy Linux has become, the biggest tell of what OS-X achieved is that most Mac users don't even know there is a terminal

I see lots of panic about this, but what's exactly stored in the cloud? Could compromising the database/serving a subpoena reveal what contacts the user has? If so, what information would be revealed?
That is a great list you've shared. Thank you!

It takes a great deal of self-consciousness to keep an eye on such things that feel like "obvious truths," just because you grew up in an environment that was reinforcing those misconceptions.
> If you truly want to claim an animal possesses something similar to human language, you need to study the way it creates phrases, and the way it can compose simple phrases into complex phrases - that is where the key power of human language lies.

You make very interesting points. Where does this leave animals that are able to vocalize human language like parrots that talk?

It's certainly true that beauty is a massive privilege and discriminator but the title is somewhat hyperbolic; it is unlikely to be the greatest (compared to the more obvious ones like race and gender etc) and is certainly talked about, though not as much as it should be.
Well Indian customer is always a price conscious one though. Like it or not, we are that way. Remember those days people used to make pre agreed arrangements, and just make the communication acknowledgements though missed calls?

So eventually if you want to be profitable and sell more services, you have to offer a good price.

It's just the way it is. I even know people who look at fares and then decide if they want to take their own two wheeler or an Ola. Online food delivery works the same way. People hunt for deals and only order through that.

Sure some people pay for services. But those are generally rare.

Is this really true? I've always felt that people are more likely to open up and be themselves if I demonstrate that I'm a bit unsure of myself, too.

I think the key is that you shouldn't need to shrink. You can be competent and still have weaknesses that you openly acknowledge. And you can play with how you present those weaknesses, but that shouldn't require you to think less of yourself or to present yourself as less than what you are capable of.
My father's trade was journeyman carpenter. His hands are so mangled and scarred from saws and air nailers. He has been doing it so long that he doesn't pay attention.

For myself, every time I pick up a saw, I imagine cutting my finger off and it makes me take care.

When I aim the air nailer, I make sure my hands are further away than the nail length. I've had nails deflect on unseen defects inside the wood and poke out the other side where I didn't expect.
Thanks! Do you mean it shows you a login screen? https://imgur.com/a/wD2ccQP Because in that case you just need to log in again (since auth doesn't transfer across subdomains).
It's really the latter half of your fourth point. Many programs log envvars for either debugging or intrusion detection purposes just like they run command invocations. In a multiuser environment this can be problematic, especially in a business with multiple security areas. E.g. you don't want IT (that can read the logs) getting access to production resources in a hard to track way (by reusing a production key instead of their more closely monitored access system).

I tend to stick to files, it's just more convenient and reusable. But if you're on a single user system don't worry about passing things via the command line or via envvars.

>"They've got enough money they could just buy an existing ARM developer and then produce those chips in their fabs."

Is a developer in this context a third party who goes out and licenses the different IP Cores for a customer and then designs a chip using them for that customer? If so I'm curious why would someone use a third party developer over ARM itself? Who are some of the bigger ARM developers today?

One of the first “privileges” I learned about in my life was being tall. Why was it the first? Because short kids and friends I knew would openly lament about being short. Something I could tell they think about constantly, and something I never thought about.

I suspect it’s played a large role in dating and interviewing for jobs, though no one ever openly says “you’re projecting more confidence simply because you’re taller than average”
Is that actually possible these days? The last time I tried Debian stable was about 18 years ago, and at that point even "testing" was too old of a kernel to support recent hardware.

An advance is, just what it sounds, an advance payment on royalties. Publishing, unlike film/tv or music generally doesn't play games with royalties, so, if the book sells, once you've earned enough royalties to cover the advance you will get additional earnings.

The have parted ways because the Fed is buying lots more than just treasuries. There is so much money desperate for returns because interest rates are so low. That is why we have such inflated equities right now. It is a mental game: if people don't know the economy is awful, maybe they won't change their behavior and maybe it will actually get better before they realize it.
I like the idea of moderating through providing feedback on the arguments people make. So it isn’t enough to moderate for civility, it’s moderation of the discussion. Like flagging things for logical fallacies. And also promoting those who make sound arguments. Like literally a debate moderator. I think if enough things are flagged people’s pattern matching begins to pick up on those fallacies everywhere and they would become better debators
That's where the FOMO comes in. I, and many, many of my friends, missed out on Bitcoin in college.

CSS Houdini Introduction
You're on to more than you think.

In traditional media, it's pretty much an axiom that people have to see the same ad at least seven times in order to get the message. There is no sin in showing the same advertisement more than once. It's why, for example, advertisers pay extra to have their ad appear at both the beginning and end of a commercial break on television. It's called "bookending."

When digital advertising started, the ad companies decided that someone seeing the same ad more than once was a bad thing, and then convinced their advertisers this was true.

I don't know why this happened. Maybe the digital people had some data that proved it. Maybe the digital people were just computer people and not advertising people and so didn't know about the decades of prior research into this.

But it's where we are now. Digital advertising companies value unique visitors, so web site owners do, too.

Sometime between the mention here of plausible.io being blocked, and your comment, markosaric.com was changed to use CNAME cloaking.
These numbers are possible and repeatable. I've made over $100k on software books at least 7 separate times [1].

If you're going to try to do this, the key idea is to build an audience e.g. an email list. You need to budget 50% of your time to writing the book and 50% of your time to blogging/promoting the content.

There's basically three key aspects to making $100k on a programming book:

1. Market - is the topic broad enough to sell $100k in copies?

Weak market: Build an Adblocker with Clojure on Arduino

Strong market: Complete Guide to D3

2. Offering + guarantee - what does the student get when they buy?

Weak offering: my 200-page pdf

Strong offering: my 400+page pdf/epub/mobi, 2 hours of video intro, invite to community chat, interviews with experts, support, questions answered by the author, quizzes, and worksheets

3. Promotion Effort

Weak promotion: posting 3 times to medium

Strong promotion: writing remarkable content, posting weekly, creating downloadable resources, collecting emails - launching to an email list of 10k-100k+

When you hear someone say, "you can't make money in programming books" run their strategy through the filter above. It's no wonder most folks don't make much money, because doing it right is hard.

It can take months to build an email list of 10k, but that's how the game works.

Job is CentOS based, so workstation is Fedora: Similar system structure with the convenience of current versions of desktop software. Fedora 32 is my current "work distro", with production hosts on CentOS 7 or 8. CentOS Stream is interesting, but the rate of package updates still seems slow compared to other rolling releases.

Did a lot of distro hopping out of curiosity this year, and while I see where the popularity of Arch comes from - especially the docs, but I seem to be prone to breaking it, usually around a package update. That is likely because it is being used as an experimental system, with more config changes than a work environment. Manjaro made that less of a trap for me, and it's DEs are very nicely configured, but I have killed it a time or two as well.

Have a Void VM (glibc) running and that has been really interesting - still on the first image I created with Xfce - and have not managed to get it into a non-bootable state. So far xbps has been very nice to work with, and there seem to bee fewer footguns than with Arch (given my experimental patterns). I'm hoping this distro finds more usage, eventually resulting in community maintained doc quality that would approach Arch.
I just ordered a bunch of these, yesterday, from Farnell.

For testing a PoC I will buy knowing there is a risk it's likely fake - but once I've validated a design I'll go to Farnell.

They're actually pretty useful for me despite, and even because of all the things you mention. I don't know why a corporation couldn't achieve the same as my single person plus a bit of perl. I guess for-profit organizations just have unique goals that can't be met unless they're acting unethically.
I always find an outright ban bad publicity. An alternative is to only allow operations in a particular country under such harsh restrictions that the actually company refuses to do business there in the first place. Or you get what you want that way. No?

I had thought of that, but I think that would only have decreased the probability for the receiver to actually open the email. At this point it hit my own "Return Over Time Investment" threshold, and I figured I'd better use my time helping my own circle to secure their stuff.
I think there really isn't a good answer. One "side" argues that the original intention doesn't matter, and the current intent of the word doesn't matter and therefore should be changed. The other "side" argues that it shouldn't be changed for exactly the same reason.

But it keeps us busy :-)
It's worth noting that the 10% vs 80/95% figures are comparing different totals. For a traditional publisher, the 10% is against the price of the book (depending on the contract this might be against cover price or against the price the publisher actually receives from the wholesaler). It's not, like the self-publishing platforms, the percentage of net profit after costs like printing etc.
"The ladies have as much beauty here as in other places, but bloom and softness are not to be expected among the lower classes, whose faces are exposed to the rudeness of the climate, and whose features are sometimes contracted by want, and sometimes hardened by the blasts. Supreme beauty
is seldom found in cottages or work-shops, even where no real hardships are suffered. To expand the human face to its full perfection, it seems necessary that the mind should co-operate by placidness of content, or consciousness of superiority."

The problem with Hashicorp Vault (and their peers): Your application still need a secret to access values made available to your application's role.

The values might not be in the immediate container space (well, aside from being in program memory), but they're only one (likely well documented internally to the container) hop away.

You can always use their official Terraform module for AWS if you are not comfortable with setting it all up by yourself: https://registry.terraform.io/modules/hashicorp/vault/aws/0....

But if you cut Consul for backend, if you are not using consul for other service discovery and Nomad etc..., you can simplify that deployment a whole lot. You make sure you open the cluster communication port, setup a Application Load Balancer in front of the cluster to balance traffic and serve SSL, configure auto-unseal using AWS KMS (since you are not using it too often, 1$ is OK to have AWS manage your master key), deploy Vault on every cluster instance, and use something managed like DynamoDB as your backend. I think this is a pretty simple yet scalable setup. The amount of cloud lock-in is pretty minimal and can easily be replaced with HAProxy setup.
We can use 90% of our brains at the same time, but the medical term for that is a seizure and it seems to involve a lot of involuntary movements.

The beauty as symmetry metric is purely genetic, but yes, grooming can add a lot of beauty points. The other metric is also body type preference, which seems more scarcity related - people in food-scarce locations will consider larger bodies attractive, but will change their preferences if they relocate to a different part of the earth.

A symmetric person will likely be considered beautiful in rags (unless they’re malnourished) and a non-symmetric person can be considered beautiful with some grooming, both physical and personality wise. The Queer Eye show made this pretty popular, at least in my circles.
The Day After – The 80s Nuke Movie That Terrified the Public
People are more biased by charisma, beauty, having a skill, being fashionable, being talented, working hard etc etc. The idea that race alone is a deciding factor is minor compared to how attractive you are in general.
Actually not really, I mean if you're ugly and rich you're just ugly with money. You may get benefits just because you've money. But if you don't show off then there's no way to influence your "perception of beauty"

Beauty has more to do with culture (what do we consider good looking and what not) but there's also an objective beauty that has to do with body proportion for example

I've taken the deep dive into Rust API service development the past few weeks. I really enjoy the experience of developing in Rust, but not so much the experience of using Rust web frameworks, somewhat in line with the author.

In particular, even having a relatively small set of feature requirements it has been difficult finding a web framework that supports: Middleware, Websockets, easy routing, and async handlers.

Actix probably supports all of those, but I don't much like development in it and prefer to avoid the drama of Actix. Surprisingly, none of the other libraries I've looked at support all of those (except possibly Gotham, but I ran into other issues with it).

I'm not sure what my takeaway is, other than that web frameworks still have a ways to go, and development on each of these web frameworks seems slow, I think because of the lack of companies picking them up. I also get the impression that people are somewhat obsessed with doing it the "Rust way", rather than just getting a simple completed web framework out the door.

However, I love working in Rust, and think I may reach a point where I'm actually more productive in it than something like Typescript. There's just a large learning curve. But it's fun.
I wish sites would stop forcing overriding the user default font or a least render nicely with their custom font override. I use the [OpenDyslexic][1] typeface which really helps but I’d say about 50% of sites I visit have custom fonts and css rules dependent on their custom font.

This is particularly frustrating when viewing GCP or AWS support docs. I get the lack of accessibility on marketing oriented sites but support docs for major could providers should render coherently with an alternative font!

About 7 or 8 years ago I built an internal testing system used to test a satellite payload which used a microcontroller board from a reputable manufacturer, purchased through a reputable electronics supplier.

When we updated the ftdi driver, the board was bricked. Fortunately the system was still in development so we found a different board - it was only a bit of pain.

However, if that system had been shipped (as it was 6 months later), that board being bricked could have had much more significant ramifications. It would have caused a slipped schedule and tangible costs.

What should I have done differently?
