I used to be addicted to my laptops. I used to over-work and when I was not working I was reading a lot of articles and spending time on news and some social networks. Even if I am selective with who I add as friends and follow, it is a lot of time that does not have good ROI. It was pretty much no stop activity since I woke up to when I was going to sleep.

I stopped completely using computers except for work. It has been pretty hard transition.

What happened is that I shifted to use a lot more my smartphone.

I tried to keep it in airplane mode or turn off the data for most of the time. I also tried to have different devices for different activities.

Switching to a dumb phone seems extreme but I am wondering if it is the final solution.

> Regular audits should be standard practice for any company of that size.

The company was audited twice, but the auditors tied the fraudulent bank statements to the fraudulent financial statements (woops).

> In any case, it will be interesting to see what consequences there are for board members that appear to have failed in their basic responsibilities.

Full cooperation with the SEC can get you a long way, especially if you're one of the victims of fraud.
Not sure about Vue 3, but in Vue 2 you can simply use a Vue instance without a template as a reactive store. You can also share an object between Vue instances.

See: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/state-management.html
With 222nm you can. I think that's a game changer. Because current UV is unsafe and restricted to professional applications where risk of misuse is acceptably low. And 222nm could be applied in commercial and consumer setting because it's safe for humans.

I would like to say the industry is run by the people that create it. In practice, it is also run by people in the periphery.

When I think of toxic devs I think of being dismissed when I talk about attention span and optimised page load speeds. And perhaps devs who feel that what is currently normal in javascript land (not knowing your stack, many dependencies, perhaps feeling like electron is an okay solution for a very simple problem) is acceptable because that's just how it's done right now. Both of those schools of thought have reasons for why they are so wide-spread, but they're wasteful and in my eyes an example of lazy engineering. That's acceptable as a conscious choice, but not as a default solution.

I actually feel as if most of the designers understand efficiency better than the really problematic devs (especially as it relates to page load speed), but maybe I've met mostly really nice designers :)

There's a lot of patching that could be done at the browser level and I think what you've proposed is a reasonable choice. The nice thing about timer throttling is that it's relatively easy to implement and nothing of value will be lost.
Stali is a static Linux distribution

I have a music theory book from India that has English translations after every paragraph. It never once says "Indian Music Theory" even though so much of it doesn't connect well with "Western Music Theory." It just says "Music Theory." I suspect the same is true for Chinese, Japanese, etc. since their music theory would also be different than for the West. It just seems unlikely that any culture will refer to it as "something other than Western music theory," and will just call it "music theory" with an apparent audience in mind.

One thing I thought was interesting is that the book states unequivocally that classical guitars are not appropriate instruments for "professional music," and are even inferior because they are "out of tune" all the time and cannot be played in any particular key. Is this Indian Supremacy at work? It could come across that way, but really they are speaking to a specific group of musicians that simply aren't playing Western music.

Whenever the book refers to guitar in a positive way, it is always the steel string slide guitar played on the lap, since they are capable of hitting the "right" notes and accommodating the "correct" techniques.
I am one of the kids of these days, but I know absolutely nothing about anything so I don't mean this in a mean spirited way but I am genuinely curious:

That hydrogen can be used as fuel is not controversial. Of course it can. What I mean is that nobody is actually using hydrogen as part of a renewable life-cycle (i.e. generating hydrogen from excess renewable energy, and using as energy store).

>Ah yes, the old "nothing can ever happen for the first time" argument. Mindless reactionary nonsense.

The problem for you is that renewables have been around for years so the fact that they aren't powering any economy needs an explanation. Furthermore, even conceptually, you haven't explained HOW they would power an economy. Renewables have well known limitations. They are diffuse power sources, require huge surface areas covered with high-tech collectors, and are highly variable. The only way we can get them to work is by attaching them to a grid with natural gas or coal - because we have no way to store excess energy enough to bridge their variability. You can deny this, but it is an actual fact and the fact that you cannot point me to a region that has solved this should be quite telling.
Note that TUF is great for things with multiple contributiors (think npm or pypa).

For the simple case of "a single publisher publishes update for a single product", TUF is an overkill. Something like signify or seccure will be way easier to set up and use.
> Instead of downvoting me, maybe you could explain what I'm missing?

I didn't downvote you, just my opinion:

> it's pretty trivial to make grub boot off USB, leaving the SDcard only being used doing the initial boot

In that case you still need an SDcard, and it requires manual setup. With this you can truly boot from USB drives easily WITHOUT the SD card.
Yeah totally. Or even use Preact by the same author which is smaller and faster than React.
> Yeah, let's follow CCP practices in the US, that'll show 'em!

To a certain extent, yes. A lot of foreign relations is about reciprocation and self-interest. For many, many years the US tolerated CCP polices that hurt its interests with the hope that, over time, that would cause the CCP would liberalize. That hasn't happened, and it's clear it won't happen anytime soon.
> I feel for these parents being overwhelmed.

I concur. I work with ACLs and permissions on a daily basis, my wife doesn't. This affinity for permissions structures rears it's head when she is entirely frustrated when setting up whitelisting for my daughter's MS account.
Very much agree - I was (not very effectively) trying to make the point that its not just about transistor counts and that what you do with those transistors - the field advancing as you say - matters a lot too. Credit to Hennessey etc who developed the original RISC concept.

I do think though that if you look back at the history Intel put huge resources into the iAPX432 which was hugely overambitious and they had to rely on the fallback of the 8086/88. There is probably a reasonable case that if they had hadn't split their resources we might have had something better than the 8086.

This will always be a mystery to me -- why oh why did we turn to politics into 'entertainment'. I heard it was why Bush was voted in, Gore was 'boring'. It is basic theater- circus for the masses. Decisions makers/show writers don't act in their plays.
It's also not nearly as prevalent as people from outside the ecosystem seem to think it is. I read a lot of "any non-trivial Rust code will have to use unsafe" and I guess that means that all of the code I've worked on is trivial.
This is the content I need on a Friday afternoon.
Great analysis!
This is really interesting and compelling to me. I tried FreeCAD recently and couldn't get into it, and went back to onshape. I notice that it doesn't appear to have constraints in it, which is usually a significant part of the CAD workflow. What does one do about that?
In my experience, SketchUp produces terrible STL files, full of duplicate or non-watertight geometry. I frequently had to manually repair the exported models in Blender before they would slice correctly.

Where do you get those numbers?
Infrastructure only gets second or third grade people, especially in Germoney. The best go to the U.S. as the lower taxes ensure highest bang for the IQ. The next best go into some of the hyped and promising fields like AI. The lowest tier does local infrastructure with minimal reach and prestige in a globalist, centralized world.

> To give a relevant example, if microsoft banned all browsers from being installed on a windows PC, that did not go through their app store, then this would be clearly illegally anti-competitive.

The FTC case against Microsoft was specifically that Microsoft was a monopoly. It's clear that there's a duopoly right now with Apple and Google in the US mobile phone OS space.

It will still boot from SD. Enabling USB boot just adds USB booting at the end of the list of things checked to boot from.
>But still "base load" is no law of nature.

It's a term that means we can guarantee a set amount of power regardless of environmental conditions. Renewables are sensitive to environmental conditions, and we don't have a battery technology to bridge renewable variablity and hence the need for 'base-load'. In that context, 'base load' is a law of nature.

Some places, the 'code' is merely a tool for businesses or other organizations to avoid liability. "We met all the standards, we shouldn't be accountable."

If the brakes go out on your care, and you smash into a building, even though it was recently serviced to whatever 'standards' are you liable? Yes. And then it will be up to you to pursue the manufacturer of the car, who will claim they met all standards, so they're not liable. See how it works?
On the other hand, if you apply the same standards to everyone, you would have to put many politicians and hospital managers in jail for having closed many remote hospitals.
I mean, you're not wrong and it is open source at the app layer but it's not like Raspberry Pi is a purely software product. They're a hardware company, acting like a maker friendly, open source device - similar to Arduino (which btw is totally open source, even the bootloader and you can get data sheets for every single component on it), but it falls short with only the top app layer being open source. The middle layer (HAL, drivers, etc.) is all closed source. And hardware is closed source.

It's ok to be closed source IMO, but they should not be marketing themselves like Arduino folks.
React can be run from a single file from a CDN, and used without a build stage. Only catch is you don't get JSX. While by today's standard some people might consider that unacceptable, it was a fairly common way to use it when it was new (because relatively fewer teams used builds for JS back then, and JSX was far from being widely accepted).

My first year of React development was without JSX even though we DID have a build step (I was categorically against it at the time. Things changed, haha).
As the other commenter mentioned, the machines have completely different setups so I don't think you can make any comparative judgment.

I also don't work on Azure which is used in that benchmark, and the link I provided was specifically about benchmarking AWS.
> Two things can be true at the same time

Heck, three things can be true at the same time. For example, in the Uber self-driving car death:

- uber's safety systems failed to recognize a human in the road

- the backup human driver failed to pay attention

- the woman in the middle of the street failed to pay attention

There can be N failures that all contributed to a given disaster, and it's important to consider all points of failure which can be mitigated in the future, not just the most controversial point of failure.

Wow. How?
If you're a VC firm shouldn't the amount of due diligence you do increase with the amount of money you're investing? Or was their investigating capacity so poor that it's a miracle they weren't cheated before?

Or are there other startups they've invested in that just haven't been found out yet? If I was one of their LP's I'd be asking some hard questions.
Except for very specific areas (security of vital systems in general) I believe the ability of Subject A to deliver service (including making software) to a Subject B should be strictly a business between consenting adults (bar tax reporting). We are supposed to be a "free" world.
I have been following this advice for about five years with my scripts and the best result has been compliments from co-workers and others who have picked up the scripts and felt like they had a much better understanding of what the scripts were doing.

Combined with use of shellcheck and shfmt working in shell scripting has come a long way in the last couple years. I still feel like BASH is a dead end--the quoting and whitespace issues combined with the bifurcation caused by Apple not shipping Bash 4.0+ make moving to Python probably the better course in 2020.
Is this tutorial interface (navigation, diffs, files/downloads at each step) custom made? It's pretty nice for this kind of format.

My phone works fine in the rain. The touchscreen is garbage, because it can't differentiate my finger from a puddle on the screen. Granted, there are pressure sensitive touchscreens out there. If you want a good map that you can take notes on, you'll need a custom app. In my experience, writing on screens is very fussy business. So you might be able to a custom app, custom hardware, maybe spending thousands per unit.

But, paper. I mentioned a brand name. It's wonderful stuff, nothing like the paper you're thinking of. This solution costs a few bucks per person.

One big reason is that America controls the SWIFT network for settling international transactions. If you hate American commercial bullying, perhaps the biggest thing to be excited about is Europe's SWIFT-alternative, INSTEX.

The world is so reliant on SWIFT currently that America can grind your commerce to a halt if you don't refuse to do business with entities it doesn't want you to.

(I realize this current TikTok action is domestic-only and unrelated to SWIFT, but I'm speaking more broadly).
What else would you recommend as part of this balanced diet of sources on US history?

For starters, presumably, the founding documents, but after that (and Zinn) I haven't come across a lot of accessible general histories in general discussion. One could perhaps compensate with the AAA biographies of famous presidents and the like (David McCullough, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Robert Caro etc) but that doesn't really get you an alternate narrative arc.

A few days ago they announced changes to the free/hobbyist version - over the past year or so they've crippled some things and overall there's a bit of an off-putting vibe towards hobby users.

He said he was skeptical of that exec's claim, just not in a super call them out way. I did not take that section to be particularly optimistic. We are probably near the end of die shrinks anyway, and with them, the thermal advantage they bring.
Sorry I didn't reply earlier ... life got in the way.

I find these apps twee, patronising, and they ignore the strengths that an adult potentially has. Adults don't acquire languages like infants do, adults already have language structures, conscious motivations, and an ability to think and reason.

I agree that it's about (a) structure, and (b) vocabulary. Rapid acquisition of relevant vocab in parallel with acquisition of simple and elementary example sentence structures is something they don't really do.

React doesn't have templates, so that's a non-issue. JSX is sugar on JavaScript, but it's not a string. So template delimiters don't matter (that is, if you didn't use a build step, then it would be straight javascript functions calls)

So this is my design and proposal :

This is applicable for mostly startups that don't have a lot of employees and this can help them cut costs to some extents in the beginning by not getting GSuite or other similar services.

- The company's admin on AWS verifies their domain on AWS SES.

- Employees create an account on GMail exclusively for work.

- Admin creates a Lambda function to map emails to employee email addresses.

- Each email address is verified and then SMTP server is set up.

I'm not saying startups should use this since GSuite is cheap in itself but in theory, this is doable unless I'm missing something and sounds like a good workaround I guess.
I can confirm that it is the default now. I installed a PI4 yesterday (ordered it right after release). I installed Raspberry Pi OS on an sd card first. When I tried to update eeprom, it was already up to date. After flashing the RPI OS image on an ssd, it worked perfectly fine. I did not have to touch a command line to make it boot from ssd.

probably not. we don't generally have high expectations for physical security in hospitals, outside of controlled medications perhaps. at most hospitals you just have to give your name, the name of someone you claim to be visiting, and then you can go pretty much anywhere you want.
You're right, he didn't explicitly say the word "bleach". Totally fake news then, that's proved me an idiot that has. /s

In a briefing where they presented "a study that found sun exposure and cleaning agents like bleach can kill the virus when it lingers on surfaces." he suggested putting a "disinfectant" inside human bodies. Totally different thing.
Let's just use one of the other disinfectants that's safe to put inside the body instead. [1] /s

It's fortunate that being a good communicator isn't one of the required skills in his job. /s

I think your bar for calling something "fake" needs to be revised.

"Not only does consuming or injecting disinfectant risk poisoning and death, it's not even likely to be effective.

Equally, by the time the virus has taken hold inside your body, no amount of UV light on your skin is going to make a difference.

And since UV radiation damages the skin, using it to kill the virus could be a case of - to borrow a well-worn phrase - the cure being worse than the disease."

WAFs definitely help. No WAF is perfect, but having an additional layer to make exploitation harder, and having a tool designed to block specific attacks (like when a new CVE is issued for a CMS) is powerful.

Not to mention that WAFs are a requirement in regulated industries. PCI mandates it. And your SOC2 + ISO auditors probably will ask about it too.
