I'm surprised you can even get too much D with sun exposure.

I'm a special case. Trying to explain that is probably a can of worms.

shouldn't give me any problems, yet it does

There may be other factors there, which I could potentially speculate on. But A. It tends to be a can of worms when I start speculating like that and B. You didn't initially give enough info to really warrant such speculation. You only gave enough to make me feel like the safe bet was to comment on the dosage and leave it at that.
Great, thanks for the local insight!

I'm about 130km north-west of Newcastle now, so relatively safe from any immediate effects.

In Sydney, under the Mascot (main international airport) flight paths, you've got people who purchased property in the last couple of decades insisting that curfew hours be increased, flight paths be changed, etc -- despite the airport operating for 80+ years, and at no time in the past century has anyone thought air travel would decrease in popularity (2020 notwithstanding).

I get that some people buy into areas expecting change / no change, but I'm very wary of people's causality inversion fields getting in the way of historical accuracy.

You can present yourself as a standard file system or some device you know has a known exploit in the driver on the other side. Then on the USB 'drive' side you have a full out arm CPU. It can issue commands too as it is connected to the serial bus. Many USB drives already have small embedded CPU in them.
This is why security-sensitive devices are often encapsulated and potted in epoxy or similar.
This is something I wrote a few days ago. All it requires is a POSIX shell and POSIX [, printf, dd and stty. Great for use in an initrd/initramfs or smaller environment as these tools are most likely available.

File operations (cp, mv, rm, etc) have not yet been implemented. It's on the TODO list. (though I'm unsure if
they're even needed) We'll see. :)

Writing this was... interesting. POSIX shell is very limited in what it can do. Endless tricks have been used, see the "implementation details" section of the README.

Please let me know if you come across any issue.

I have also written a file manager in bash. https://github.com/dylanaraps/fff

Edit: To answer the "WHY?" question; I find pushing the shell beyond what it's supposed to do FUN!

You're not missing anything. It does use GitLab's mirroring API. However, GitLab doesn't have any global mirroring settings, you need to set up each repo individually. The tool just saves you a huge bunch of clicking around and copy pasting auth tokens. Useful if you have a big collection of repos you'd like to mirror. And if you'd like every new public repo to be mirrored automatically.

Yes, but to maintain the conceit of chess being like a battlefield, it is nicer to think of knight pieces as being jumping cavalry (however unrealistic that is) rather than ghosts or owning a portal gun.

I suppose the actually intended analogy is that by riding a horse, the character is more evasive and can slip past another unit without being blocked. Also, I suppose that rooks must have wheels on, and a door that a king can only walk through in rare circumstances.

In practice this is just a one-time setup. We use https://github.com/jneight/django-db-geventpool which uses psycogreen under the hood. It isn't perfect (we're currently tracking down some rare cases where connections aren't properly returning to the pool, though we believe this to be error on our side) but it's more than sufficient.

Languages in the Loglan family, notably Lojban, have an explicit audio-visual isomorphism which maps phonemes to/from letters. In theory, this should allow people to learn to read and write long after they have learned how to listen and speak; in practice, it seems to lead to many alternative orthographies and a fragmentation of readability.
At the same time, I find it difficult to parse this with the knowledge that Dr King also repeatedly stated disappointment with white moderates and also later in life fame to support and understand violence against property in response to police brutality. But these are generally ignored when contrasting him with Malcom X. I’ve even heard theories that King could not be effective without the threat represented by Malcom X.

In short: We failed because our country wasn't capable of controlling the virus. We're just not good enough at being a nation right now.

A corrupt system that's been in decline for years has produced an artifact that makes us aware of our decline: a President who is incapable of leading, but got elected anyway because corruption limited both the number and variety of leadership choices.

As our governmental system has declined, it was inevitable that we would eventually encounter some crisis we could not handle, like an aging man that one day discovers he can no longer perform certain activities without injuring himself.

We're probably lucky that the problem that came along wasn't one that would have quickly resulted in death for everyone on the planet. Had we been unlucky enough to have another Cuban missile crisis like situation with Trump to handle it, we might have ended up in a nuclear winter with the majority of humanity dead or dying.

There's no secret as to why we failed to control the virus. The answer is that our government and society have decayed enough that they're not up to the task.

We used to be, and I think a lot of people are surprised by this "sudden" change... but it's not sudden. We've been on this path for decades. The momentum from the post world war II years and the values of the generation that have been in power since the late 60s have masked the problems, but they've been there.

Trump is a symptom of a much larger problem, one that won't be solved quickly or easily. We not only have to undo decades of slow corrosion, but we have to change the government and our society so it doesn't happen again.

Whether we're capable of that in our current state, only time will tell.
Assuming those numbers are accurate 4.2% of the global population is on Twitter. Which seems highly suspect.

But for the sake of argument, if 4% of your customers are on the platform it’s highly unlikely for those users to be influenced about your product. Aka, how much does Twitter inform people choice of paper towels etc.

Now, that possibly changes for hype or fad based industries. If you’re creating buzz around a new movie sure Twitter might be relevant.

I think the distinction is pretty clear: either the mechanism requires cooperation by the application thread (which typically initiates the yield at a compiled-in, predefined point), or it doesn't and the runtime environment preempts it from the outside.

Virtual threads are of the former kind. (At least as long as we don't involve the forced preemption feature).
Can we please stop endlessly repeating this? Life is much more complex than that.

A small laptop, a phone or a tablet can be stolen from you while powered on and unlocked by a simple thief that has no intention, nor ability, to capture and torture you.

The thief could then quickly hand the device to other people that flash it and sell it in a different country. But first they might extract any valuable data.
Yes Patrick great work.

Having had to jump into a Stripe project recently, I think you may need to 'level' up on the experience as the number of features and products expands, it's getting more confusing.

'Everything is there' in the docs, it's just that there are so many now.

I don't remember the mappings of all the product names to 'what they do' (I should not have to) and I find myself getting confused whereas years ago I was not.

Everyone fails at this basically, but because you have a mission focused on this, it'll be interesting to see how you handle it differently.

There is not a single documentation search solution that seems to work: Apple apis, MSDN, Google Assistant, Stripe, Shopify, they generally can't answer basic questions and often don't point you in the right direction.

A question such as 'Can Stripe Checkout Client-Only Version offer Individual Discounts' - is a question a client had. It took too long to find the answer.

I suggest someone will some along perhaps with some AI and totally re-invent helping people find simple answers to simple questions, maybe you can lead the way.

The concept is taken to extremes in types of fish in Japan, where there are a huge number of characters with the "fish" character (魚) in the left side of the letter, and some element that relates to the characteristic of the fish on the right, eg 鱈鰯鰊鮭鮪鰹鯖鯛鮫鰈鱒鰤鯰鰊鯉鱚...

"Annoying and somewhat harmful" does not even begin to describe the problem of the ad-based economy.

It's not that hard to make the argument that the moment that it became normal for websites to rely solely on ads for its revenue was the moment that we subverted a lot of our cultural institutions.

It's not that hard to make the argument that the rise of populism and extremist politics is rooted in this "eyeballs is all that matter" mentality for publishers.

It's not that hard to make the argument that ad-tech is making so many people addicted to our tech gadgets that its damage to the general public health is going to make Tobacco companies look innocent by comparison.

If that is not enough for you, take the amount of fraud and the amount of money that goes from advertisers to the pockets of the big ad companies and I hope you realize how ineffective it is.

> That's why I tend to be skeptical of any new scheme that once again puts someone in a gatekeeper role.

We are going in circles now. Again, there is nothing about Brave and its ad network that can not be replicated by any one that decides to compete with them. It's not like an "app store". The ads are optional, you joining the rewards program is optional. If for some reason someone else decides to create a competing ad network, it could run either as a fork or an extension. I fail to see what is so potentially evil that they can do that is worse than the evil that is currently done by the status quo.

People often falsely tout absurdly high fees because they so choose to try to move the money as quickly as possible on a whim and choose to pay such a multi-dollar fee. Those of us who use bitcoin regularly understand that if one plans to send hours or days in advance, it's simple and straightforward to move millions of dollars at once for 25-50 cent fee, flat rate. Just because 1k people say they paid $5-10 fee to move bitcoin, doesn't mean they know what they're doing.

The only way to deal with an outraged Twitter mob is to ignore them. They can never be appeased.

It seems to me like Twitter is the new Tumblr. Full of crazy people.
Yeah, so I think this is pretty much the a kind of scenario the feature is designed to break - an essentially stock browser navigating to some site, that can then wrap a trusted site, and potentially be a stepping stone for phishing or other nastiness. Obviously, if you have detailed control over the client - everything goes! But for fairly standard browsers, you don't want to allow this kind of nesting; at least not when the two sites aren't cooperating (and clearly linkedin isn't).

It's possible there's some addon api to work around this, otherwise you'll need to use a proxy - which isn't too hard, really. Essentially: you need to have admin level control over the browser to allow this, or some other proxy; the browser won't allow a random website to see another site's cookies, even indirectly - which is by design.

So in your case: since this is a feature, not a bug - a trivial workaround looks unlikely.

I just disable all hotplugging support in my OS. Anything plugged into the machine must be manually mounted, enabled, etc. This works really great for me as it's rare that anything is attached to this machine other than the charger.
I agree that renting out flats is much better (safer?) alternative to owning a bar.
how would you authenticate the USB stick that is allowed though?
Without some sort of authentication mechanism an attacked could clone the device id of an allowed device.
better than nothing though! :)

The Rise and Fall of Gap
What the article failed to mention is that a very common shuffling method - overhand shuffle - is terrible. You need about 10000 (ten thousand) of them to shuffle an ordinary deck of 52 cards. This can seriously impact you when playing board games, and collectible card games like Magic: the Gathering. In competitive CCGs it can make the game unfair. In non-competitive games it just makes it boring because the same situations tend to occur.

Smushing is a great way to shuffle cards (used on poker tournaments) but it doesn't work if they're sleeved.

For this reason I really appreciate board games which use bags and tokens as card substitutes. It's really the best shuffling method, except that token-sized cards don't have room for text on them. Now that I mention it I'm surprised there are no playing cards in the form of bag and tokens. Probably because ordinary playing cards are so cheap.

Cool idea, but wouldn't it make sense to remove the letter J from the most used letters?

If you don't use that letter for Vim it drops from the top 8 all the way to the bottom of the frequency chart (assuming you only type English). If you than map whatever J does in Vim to a more frequently used letter your typing speed should go up.

Alternatively since J seems to be used mostly for navigation (not sure, I don't use Vim) use the d-pad to do that instead.

The Rising Frugal Economy
My problem with Weinstein and his ilk is that I don't see them offering solutions, they just yell "distrust, distrust, distrust" and not much creative and serious thinking about solutions. Meanwhile long time economists, labour and political activists (voluntarists and america-style libertarians, statist-socialists and classical neoliberals and a bunch of other flavors), artist/sacademics across the board and others have been saying "distrust these people for these reasons and do this to fix it" for decades and no-one seems to care because it goes against their politics, while claiming to not have politics because they are too smart and cynical for that.

The "Embedded Growth Hypothesis" for example has been a thing that socialists, eco activists and even austrian economics and classical keynesians (if that's a proper term, I mean Keynesians who believe that debt is a problem and you should pay it back and not rely on MMT to pay it back via inflation) have been trying to push for a long time. But they also offer solutions which are compatible with an open society (at least the ones moderate enough to become mainstream), they don't just claim the current system is corrupt.

It's fine to just criticize without offering solutions, but if you are gonna claim "everyones distrustworthy" you should back things up more.

---

Oh, and Weinstein in particular has been using his right to speak freely for decades and continues to use it about being silenced. Now he just has a billionaire backer whose politics align with what he's saying to amplify him.
That's within America, not a comparison of national rates. In spite of America having a much higher gun ownership rate than other countries it doesn't appear to have a particularly high suicide rate.
