Thank you for the interpretation of the name tag. I appreciate the effort. I should've made the same effort myself.

In fact, in rereading my own comment I notice that I fat-fingered a number in the comparison I was trying to make. Where I show their Dead vs Population size as 6000 / 100 million that should've been 6000 / 10 million. I had one too many zeroes on their population figure.

Not my finest hour and a real drag for me personally since I have spent so much of my career QC'ing other people's work and pointing out their defects. I need to pay closer attention to my own output since I obviously am not perfect either.

I can only imagine it appearing it not working by hitting Ctrl-s, which freezes terminal output. Killing ssh wouldn't solve that though. Besides unfreezing it with Ctrl-q, you'd have to kill the whole terminal.

This is so incredibly useful! I also remember it from those days as a kid. I wish I knew it was still a thing all this time!
Based on a quick search through it, White Fragility mostly but not completely avoids the term "white supremacist" (as applied to people), instead using "white supremacy" or "white supremacist culture". In that context, she says:

> White supremacy in this context does not refer to individual white people and their individual intentions or actions but to an overarching political, economic, and social system of domination.

Note the specific disclaimer about not so referring to individuals. In this context, it is true that much of the world is part of a white supremacist culture. As the author says:

> … within a white supremacist society, I am rewarded for not interrupting racism and punished in a range of ways—big and small—when I do.

Pointing this out does not, I think, dilute the term; it rather insists on confronting the fact that "but I'm not racist" is not a sufficient response to claims of systemic racism.

(The author does use the phrases "explicit white supremacists" and "avowed white supremacists", thus referring to individuals; but, as far as I can tell, she does not define the term, and I think that it is clear that she means by this to separate out people with overt white supremacist ideas from those of us who are merely a part of the culture—a clarification, rather than a dilution.)
Fluorescence means emitting light after absorbing it- higher fluorescence means that less energy is lost.

Fluorescent lightbulbs drop ultraviolet light down to visible light typically via a phosphor coating. White LEDs are also often phosphor (or similar) based.

Note that in neither of these cases is the phosphor considered a "dye". I suspect that any application of a fluorescent dye on the LED itself would still cause a fairly significant luminosity loss and buildup of heat compared to simply coloring the plastic or glass enclosure that the white LEDs are built into.

You can also change the default directory where screenshots are stored, so they never end up on the desktop in the first place. I have mine set to ~/Pictures/screenshots
A complimentary feature: when you want to “open” a file from some file open dialog box, instead of navigating through the dialog, go find the file some other way and drag-n-drop it onto the dialog. The file won’t open, BUT it’ll pop over to the directory and select the file for you to then open in the context of the application.

I use this all the time when I either have something handy in Finder or can find it more quickly with alfred.

I recently discovered some nice helpers to resize windows:

- Hold down the option key while resizing a windows (with the mouse) to also resize the opposite side. This also works when resizing the window on a corner to resize all edges at once.

- Double click a window border to enlarge this side of the window up to the edge of the scereen. Hold down the option key to enlarge also the opposite site.

- Double-click the title bar of a window to maximize it
Mouse keys -- as an anti-feature. (press option 5 times)

My daughter enabled it while I wasn't at the computer and then thought my keyboard had died. Even took it in to get repaired, and got a new keyboard.

There is no permanent indicator that it's enabled, and it persists after reboots (once logged in)... when I figured out my brand new keyboard still had several broken keys I started looking for S/W level issues. Hard facepalm. It didn't help diagnosis that I did have some physically affected keys too.

At least I got a new keyboard out of it...

New Quantum Approach for Sharing Secrets Sets a Record with 11 Dimensions
Born in one of the highest consumption countries way above the US. My dad never drank, I never drank, hardly ever seen my mom or grandparents drink (though they're not strictly against it).

I assume drinkers just tend to go to places where people drink like pubs, clubs which I've never been to. I'm sure non-drinkers tend to be rare there.

Also assuming that drinking might correlate with sociability there could be a friendship paradox style thing going on where people you know are much more likely to be drinkers.

I said ten years from a study[1] adjusting for age and comorbidities of the patients, which got 13 and 11 years for men and women respectively. That study doesn't adjust for the severity of the comorbidities, so I agree it's probably an overestimate. I'd like to see a study that predicts life expectancy using more factors (e.g., long-term care residency), but I'm not aware of one.

As to masks, I also agree correct use is a problem. Here (SF Bay Area) the East Asian population seems to use them competently and consistently, but everyone else is hit or miss. I would have liked to see more public education, rather than just the unexplained mandate; but the probability that masks primarily explain East Asia's success in containing the virus seems high enough, and the cost seems low enough, that they seem like a favorable bet to me. I do also think it's quite possible that other factors (e.g., different degrees of pre-existing T cell immunity from other coronaviruses) will turn out to explain that big difference though.

You have to consider the stochastic nature of crime and policing. The size of the population, the size of the force, behaviour altered by substance abuse, the prevalence of deadly weapons, the mental toll of dealing with criminals every day, the presence of organised crime, the antagonism, the heat of the moment, the type of personality needed to want to do the job: of course you are going to end up with some bad encounters. That is the price of having police.

The price of not having police is the constant and imminent danger and cost of crime. We all have to avoid certain parts of our cities. Women can’t walk safely at night even in the “safe” parts. Children can’t be left unattended. Public goods are ruined by vandalism. The stabilising effect of family households is lost as many flee to safer locations. Property values languish. Nobody can invest in the area, lenders and insurers aren’t interested. Innocent people are brutalised and they can’t rely on the police to protect them. Violent criminals operate with impunity. These aren’t isolated incidents, this is a trend of misery.

And this will be the legacy of many of these BLM protests/riots. More misery heaped on the poorest communities. That’s why I say that many people seem to have no real idea about the trade-off.

They could do speech recognition on the device and then ship off the plain text. I don't think they do this, but it is most certainly within their technical ability.

This is going to be common across almost all institutions.

If you have family that are entering college this fall that had hoped to attend a more prestigious college or university or who thought a prestigious college was out of reach and did not apply to one, or perhaps even thought that college in general was out of reach then please take a moment to re-evaluate things.

I strongly recommend that they reach out to the admissions departments on their wish list. With foreign enrollment curtailed and domestic enrollment way down and seeking to deffer, institutions are scrambling for students and this is a once in a century opportunity. Remember that many institutions will be offering online classes and extra safety measures this fall so it might be the case that in-person instruction is very limited.

I am in the business of prepping, coaching and helping to place the children of the affluent into the top 100 colleges and universities. I was talking a few weeks back with a director of admissions for a masters program with incoming enrollment off 50% as a result of a lack of foreign applicants. They told me they would probably "do whatever they needed to do to accept a domestic applicant at this point". I have never seen an opportunity like this before. I only with my own kids were old enough to take advantage of this.

> literally - I did not truly get how bad it is in Delhi until I went there, even having seen photos

There's obviously no economic incentive to do this, but I'd love to see a travel-agency-alike business offer a sort of "atmosphere simulator" that sets up the same composition of air pressure, heat, humditiy, and VOCs that the destination is going to have. It'd be great as a pre-test for people with lung conditions, to see if they would truly be okay with spending a vacation there (without needing to buy a plane ticket and waste days going there just to find out and immediately turn around.)

> We're going to see a diaspora out of the city and into the countryside... for the people who can afford to do that

Or we'll see the development of new coastal cities, and the redevelopment of existing coastal cities, to favor clean air over industry or (non-EV) cars; with the expectation that the city will be able to make it up in taxes (incl. estate taxes) from a large residential tax base of people who still want to live in cities, but also want clean air.

Coastal cities that already have such policies (and so little pollution) are clearly seeing hypergrowth in residential real-estate speculation, above-and-beyond what you'd expect from current global market forces. Vancouver BC, for example, is getting its real-estate markets pumped way beyond those of neighbouring Seattle WA.

(I say coastal cities here, because being near an ocean means having access to trade winds to sweep some amount of produced pollution away. An inland city has to work a lot harder—i.e. to strangle its industrial capacity much more thoroughly—to achieve the same effect.)

My team approaches this problem by using separate identities with different access policies for doing different things. The identity can be an alternative user account (disconnected from the primary corp domain) or a service principal that does only limited set of things.

For example, an alternative user account with restricted time window for access is used to even get to performing infrastructure management tasks. Then each cluster has unique service principal attached to it for pulling containers and retrieving infra-related secrets, but cannot access application-related secrets. Applications that run on clusters use completely different managed identity which doesn't have access to infra-related secrets, but has access to application-related secrets. On top of that, wherever possible, we restrict access to secrets only to GET operations, so you need to know the name of the secret beforehand in order to access it. The latter is not always possible, but if it is possible, we use it.

We use a bunch of scripts that go on and create all necessary identities and set up security policies, which helps a lot with ensuring the process is fully repeatable and risks of user mistakes are mitigated.
If there happens to be an OPA<->IAM adapter for your AWS resources, OPA allows end to end testing of your policies.

As far as adapters go, I know you can get SQL, Kubernetes, Terraform, Kafka, Envoy, s3 (via Minio), EC2/ECS/Lambda (linux). that would cover most use cases I think.

The headline is a little misleading, the actual advice contains exceptions.

The relevant government webpage (https://www.regjeringen.no/en/topics/foreign-affairs/reisein...) says:

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is maintaining its global advice against all non-essential travel to all countries. This advice currently applies until 20 August. Exceptions have been made for countries and regions in the Nordic region and in the Schengen area/EEA that meet the criteria for infection levels set by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. The infection situation and local restrictions can change very quickly. Anyone thinking about travelling abroad should consider all the potential ramifications beforehand and should make sure that they know what the situation is in the place they are planning to visit."

The Public Health Institute website has the details of which countries meet the criteria for travel, see https://www.fhi.no/en/op/novel-coronavirus-facts-advice/fact....

My experience with podaero.com has been that things are very civil in small groups where everyone gets to know each other - regardless of whether real names are used (users there have the option between real name or pseudonym).

I think it's when the groups get so large that nobody really knows each other - that's when things become less civil.

Lol, that's almost saying that you are being coerced to eat, drink and breath (by nature?). At that point, the word has lost its meaning.
That used to send whatever word (possibly a password, or some other confidential thing) you deep-clicked on out to the lookup server unencrypted. If you happened to be on open wifi (like in a coffeeshop), it would broadcast it totally unencrypted to everyone within radio range. I reported it and now it uses TLS. :)
Click is just an easier way to get to the point of Nietzsche’s “eternal recurrence of the same” thought experiment. If (in the absence of things like destitution) you’ve chosen to live your life in such a way that you wanted to skip through significant parts of it, is it really a life well-lived?

Presumably a "smart directory" would itself be read-only, as if mounted from an ROFS; but its contents would all be symbolic links, such that when you're opening the file, you're opening its readlink(2) target, so the fact that the source link was read-only doesn't matter to your ability to modify the file.

This would pretty much match the expectations of how "Smart Folders" currently work in the Finder, and also how equivalents like "Smart Playlists" work in iTunes/Music.
