I don't have great feedback for you, it's just that I downloaded and ran xgenecloud and was exceedingly confused what to do from the UI that it spawned. It didn't seem clear to me how I could get started, and my options were plentiful; I would've been ok to make a new database thru your UI, point your tool at an existing database, or anything else, but I just didn't have a clear path to querying a schema.

With Hasura, I could run it with about 2 docker commands and build a schema thru their web UI, use GraphiQL in their web UI to query the schema, and read docs to get a clear path on how I might use this artifact in production.

I guess I would just use Hasura if I was you and see what the experience is like vs XgeneCloud, maybe it will show you what I saw.

Keep in mind finance is not quantitative finance. (edit: I just realized I didn't specify above. I'm doing quant work.)

In finance (and quant work) you don't want a mistake. You want what you code to have provability, so you know what you write is what you get. This is super important. Speed in pure finance is not important.

In quantitative finance the common practice today is companies roll out their own programming language that has provability like Haskell, but is closer to the speed of C++. These languages tend to be a big closer to lisp than Haskell, but it depends from company to company.

Embedded fonts are a big one. PDF lets you embed straight TrueType/OpenType, preserving all the ligatures, kerning, etc. With Postscript you have to convert. Maybe this would be hassle free, but I'd be willing to bet there'd be a lot of edge cases that prevent it from Just Working.
I think Twitch Prime was never very close to Twitch from an organizational perspective. My read is this that this moves likely gives Twitch as an organization more autonomy.
You are correct, about Trap Streets. I'm not sure if the language is fake facts hidden in real facts, or fake streets in maps. Because it seems pretty specific to trap steets.

If the language is indeed not general beyond trap streets - if I create a fake celebrity and data regarding them, I would argue that is more like making a story. A trap street is a small line on the map (generally hidden somewhere unimportant) and a couple words. A fake celebrity requires much more content.

From the PDF "I added fivecompletely conjured celebrities to the site. I used stock photos with entirely made up names, biographies and net worth numbers. I published the pages backdated several yearsso they were nearly invisible to the world."

Now, let's look at a real celebrity on their site
https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/actors...

It seems reasonable to assume from the pdf that they put the kind of effort into an article on the fake celebrities to make them indistinguishable from real celebrities, it may be decided that this is the same as a trap street. But I don't think it is just a foregone conclusion.

Aside from all that - https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2001/mar/06/andrewclark they might be able to sue in some other place than the U.S and find a more sympathetic court.

It’s substantially more efficient to store a pack of bottled water or two on top of your fridge - and keep your food at the same time. Water keeps well even if not frozen.

If you want to keep tap water, you can buy silver ion additives at any camping/outdoor store. If you’re really planning for preparedness, buy a ceramic water micro filter and additives. That can make nearly all water usable.
RE the Bloomberg article, be aware that Vodafone rejected Bloomberg's reporting [1]: "The 'backdoor' that Bloomberg refers to is Telnet, which is a protocol that is commonly used by many vendors in the industry for performing diagnostic functions. It would not have been accessible from the internet.

"Bloomberg is incorrect in saying that this 'could have given Huawei unauthorised access to the carrier's fixed-line network in Italy'.

"In addition, we have no evidence of any unauthorised access. This was nothing more than a failure to remove a diagnostic function after development.

"The issues were identified by independent security testing, initiated by Vodafone as part of our routine security measures, and fixed at the time by Huawei."

That's a nice way of saying that Bloomberg made up most of the article.

Forgot to add, I was living in Virginia during the June 2012 derecho blew through during a period of 100 degree weather (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_2012_North_American_derec...). I was without power for an entire week - even in a nice subdivision with buried power lines, in a city of 100K+ people. UPS won't help for that, but it did automatically shut down the NAS and kept my modem/wireless router going for a few hours. Bought a 2,000 watt inverter generator for a few hundred dollars. If you have somewhere to store it, highly recommend purchasing one. Extremely quiet (~50db), sips gas (1 gallon/12 hours), and enough power to keep a fridge, small window AC, and lights going. Even managed to run the dishwasher. https://wenproducts.com/collections/inverter-generators/prod....

Passion Economy 101: Turn your interests into an income
One thing about checks that perhaps doesn't get touched on a lot...plenty of businesses use them as part of their accounts payable process wherein they are invoiced on some type of payment terms (whether it's due on receipt or commonly within 30/60/90 days). An unintended but extremely (ab)used feature here is being able to pad out the actual time between receipt of invoice and when the money actually leaves your bank account because 'check is in the mail, should be there in a few days' is an acceptable answer when accounts receivable on the other end inquires about your overdue payment, effectively turning net 30 into net 40. Now, same could in theory be said for ACH since it takes up to a few days to settle depending on the hops between banks, but setting up each vendor's ACH details in a system that may or may not be set up to even do so is overhead compared to cutting checks. All in, the massive inefficiency leads to a vicious cycle of everyone in the chain getting paid late and then doing the same forward. Which sucks.
Those long term costs will be a political disadvantage for liberals, as they will give the GOP plenty of talking points about how they want to take away good honest coal mining jobs. This is the long game in action. Force liberals to make the hard decisions to save the planet, then completely own them with propaganda about those decisions.

I'm not sure there's any science to back up the vague "radiation" concern. Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, you are awash in EM radiation. I don't think there's any reason to believe that turning off the cellular antenna on your phone while being bathed in all manner of other RF signals is likely to have any heath effects whatsoever.
This is called chaos engineering and many companies built tooling to do exactly this. Netflix pioneered/proselytized it years ago.

Use that library to do fault injection like high latency, errors, timeouts, etc.

AIUI a single tunnel doesn’t scale, sure, but part of the Boring Company’s mission is to make the tunnels super cheap, so scaling up the system consists of adding additional parallel tunnels.

I guess it’s like adding lanes to a highway, but instead of being limited to “make it wider” you can think in 3D and “bundle” tubes together with a honeycomb cross section.

Spitballing more, “reversing the polarity” of a single lane tunnel in such a bundle would be trivial to account for burst traffic (like they move the center divider on the Golden Gate Bridge).
If the last election was a referendum on establishment versus anti-establishment candidates, and if that same sentiment extends to this next election, then it seems like running an establishment candidate is a dangerous thing.

Taking Confluence as a popular corporate wiki, there’s no need to dump content so brutally. You could easily write an automated pruning script that does things like;

- find pages that haven’t been updated in a while

- messages the last editor “this page will be deleted in a week. If you think is should be kept please update it”

- a week later deletes the page (or puts it an archive)

Probably needs to smart about how it determines age - certain pages tend to get used annually only (eg the annual budget info)

All that said, most of the problem of cluttered corporate wikis is simply because their search engines suck. Confluence is particularly bad.

The #1 thing you need in a corporate wiki search is results ranked by recency ... most things that happen in a corporation have a half life of 2 weeks before they’re no longer interesting. Relevancy also comes into that of course. The user themself would also be nice to have - a given person with a given role will naturally be more interested in some content and not others, and that’s easy to determine from their search history

It only warns if the assignment doesn't have an extra pair of parentheses. These were added in this case, to silence the warning (so the attack would not be noticed). The parentheses are also needed in this case to get the precedence right, but they won't be needed if '==' were written, so anyone coding this by accident would immediately be warned of the mistake.

Having been an administrator for a Google business account in the past (and not a small one either) I can state from experience that if your problem doesn't have something to do with advertising or search, you are a distant (incredibly distant) third on Google's priorities. And search is a pretty distant second from advertising. Google is majority an ad company, that's what motivates them and it shows in their lackluster customer service for anything that isn't advertising.

Rely on them at your peril. They have slick products as long as they work but good luck if something goes sideways.
> The report notes that this security flaw is present in all the devices running chips between A7 and A11 Bionic. Apple has already fixed the exploit in A12 and A13 Bionic chips so newer devices are safe.

That's four generations of Apple hardware, the latest being iPhone X and iPhone 8/8 Plus (Sept 2017). The patch being fixed in A12 means the iPhone XR and iPhone XS (and later) are unaffected.

Short of being home and reacting immediately with a fire extinguisher when the smoke alarm is triggered I certainly agree with you that there's little that being away changes w/ respect to the electrical fire risk profile and potential for loss. Whether you're gone for a week or gone for 15 minutes makes little difference in responding to a fire.

Responding to a water-related disaster is a different story, though, and worth bringing up.

You might want to consider turning off your water at the main if you're going to be away from home for an extended period. I was fortunate in that the only water-related failure I've had personally was a ruptured water heater leaking into a floor drain of a 1st floor utility room. I know others who haven't been so lucky (having clothes washer hoses rupture, fixtures fail, etc) and have had water running inside their home for an extended period (several days, in one case). Until someone notices the local municipality reading excessive usage, a neighbor noticing water running out a patio door, etc) the damage continues and, to add insult to injury, you're also getting charged for the water / sewer usage.
Yet cosmetic surgery and eye care have both gotten better and cheaper, so maybe there is something else going on... Perhaps it's the way the supply is controlled and a market can't work because of government intervention.

The name of method parameters in obj-c is not significant. The argument label and argument name are different things. In `- (void)frobulateThing:(id)firstThing andAlso:(id)secondThing;`, `firstThing` and `secondThing` are the argument names and can be changed with no impact on the callers, while `frobulateThing:andAlso:` is the part relevant to callers.

In Swift the argument labels are the same as the argument names by default, but you can also supply different values for them.
I worked at Microsoft from 2010-2012, and the crux of the issue there was that, for Microsoft users who had the Bing toolbar installed, the toolbar would track what you were visiting in your browser and use that session/journey information to try and improve the relevancy of Bing results. If a lot of people who searched for "best pancake house" (regardless of what search engine you used) end up visiting ihop.com within the same browser session, well then Bing would want to rank ihop.com higher for that search phrase.

Google noticed this, and for unique/low-traffic search terms, was able to synthetically generate enough "fake" traffic that the "fake" traffic became the dominating signal for those terms, and therefore Bing started directing users to the fake results.

The bad thing here IMO is the level of tracking of users via this toolbar, but fundamentally this seems as bad as any other digital fingerprinting or advertiser tracking as anything else that's become common on the web. This is not to excuse Microsoft for doing a bad thing, but it really had very little to do with "scraping Google", which somehow became the popular media takeaway for this.

EDIT: a decent contemporaneous article in Wired: https://www.wired.com/2011/02/bing-copies-google/, mentioning how Microsoft was using the clickstream data from the browser/toolbar, not scraping Google results per se

Yes I agree that it's impossible to buy 1960s healthcare today. What I'm saying is many would be very happy to be able to buy 1960s healthcare today, legal liability differences and all, for a much more affordable 1960s equivalent price, which you can calculate as hours worked at the median hourly wage during both times, thus sidestepping comparability issues. But you cannot.

Also many other developed countries deliver modern health care for significantly cheaper prices than the US does.
Right, I think I missed some implicit context here.
Why Context Is Important to Learning
Computer security does not operate around large sweeping claims of some party doing something bad, and so doing something bad in retaliation. And it's impossible for the "Internet" to be compromised - by definition it's an open network that gets packets from A to B while letting most anyone listen in. So then, what are the specific problems?

If the problem is that China is copying designs, then the solution is to stop moving sensitive production there.

If it is that Chinese manufacturers are putting remote backdoors in products, then the solution is to make trustable designs with open firmware, and domestic production of sensitive parts to avoid hardware backdoors.

If the problem is apps with built in surveillance, then the solution is to secure mobile OSs to prevent data leakage.

If the problem is that Chinese groups are shitposting to manufacture political consent, the solution is better social media filters, reputation systems, and fixing our domestic institutions (eg the press) thus hindering the ability for anyone to manufacture consent.

None of these things are solved by top-down imposition of some blunt firewall, or whatever other misguided heavy handed ideas the politicians have in mind. From the perspective of network security, it's really no big deal if Internet addresses become 64 bits with the addition of a proxy.
> Not true.

Yes true. Check 5.1.2.2.1 and 5.1.2.2.3 in the standard.

If you don't treat 'main' specially you won't have a conforming C compiler. It's unique in accepting different signatures, and for its return value syntax and semantics.

You cannot just compile it as a normal function and link it with a runtime routine. You need compiler support for it.
"pointer to int" is a type, because 'pointer to' is not a type qualifier like 'const'. You can call it a modifier but you'll quickly start making exceptions for any type that has a modifier to explain away why it's actually a different type with a different size.

For example, sizeof(x) takes a type. The type argument for sizeof(int) is different than sizeof(int* ) and the results are different. sizeof(int*[3]) is different as well. These are all different types where pointers change the type. It's not the same type with a pointer modifier, there is no such thing.

We created the live polio vaccine by breeding. That was long before fancy genetic technology.

Flu viruses are particularly easy to breed. Viruses have short generation times and easy vulnerability to genetic damage. Flu viruses even have a genome that isn't in one chunk, sort of like having chromosomes, making them extra easy to breed.

Selection is a simple matter of having it reproduce quickly in the desired cells.
