Have you been raided before? In the US raids are rare even during crisis times.

I wish you luck in whatever country you may be in, the US in exceedingly fortunate in the Biden has led crises management before instead of Trump who apparently wanted to let Covid run wild in states with higher Democrat voter percentages.

My rural experience has been that "raids" are typically people looking for cash or things to sell for drugs. But also neighbors help each other, churches and communities come together.

Society can always fall apart, but until it does I hope for the best and stay prepared for many potential emergencies.

Edit: I know it is poor form to ask for voting explanations, but I'm genuinely curious what folks felt was off topic and/or disagreeable in my response. I value feedback, which is hard to glean from a vote tally.
I think both have different goals.

When you are self taught, questions from others really can help build your thinking and confidence.

I got better only when I had to answer questions to clients, friends and x colleagues who were just curious how things work or what can work.

Prepper culture definitely still includes the amassing of food and water storage, as well as paraphernalia like CB radios. It’s just that there are perhaps some loud believers in the need for ammo thrown in there, and why not?

This. No one cares enough to pay. Social media is more than adequate for most and there isn't any pesky "other side". The only model that makes sense is national level operations that have a "... and now from your neighborhood" segments in tv or in the print just have a local section to get a little local interest.
>the dossier was sourced from misinformation spread by a paid Russian agent.

You're moving the goalposts. You original said the report itself was "known to have been paid for by Russia".

It's plainly false that the report was paid for by Russia and your attempt to assert this as an indisputable fact by prefixing it with "known to" makes it doubly disingenuous.

"prepping" is a specific term for preparing for the collapse of society, it is not a generic term for preparation. Preparing for a natural disaster is not prepping.

Hi valyala (cofounder of VictoriaMetrics) — I know we’ve talked about this several times before already, so you should know — those benchmarks you linked are from 2018. They pre-date many key features in TimescaleDB, including features like native compression, which invalidate many of those findings. So they aren’t really relevant or valid anymore. Just don’t want people to draw wrong conclusions.

I'm pretty sure anything in the app store is crackable.
If it happens during your lifetime, it will likely only be once. So 'it never happened to me before' is not a very good way to reason about this sort of risk.
I like this a lot more than I probably should. It's quirky, fun, and possibly useful.
That is an impressive level of laziness. Googling "biden delete tiktok" found the article. https://www.theverge.com/2020/7/27/21341062/biden-staff-dele...

Such a good point. I wonder how many folks don't actually realize there's a different ecosystem for Docker x86 and ARM images.
From just off the top of my head

- Same text editing shortcuts that work consistently throughout all apps in the system including your editor/IDE, browser, and terminal.

- iTerm2 having so called "legacy full screen mode" that I use exclusively. (I've been searching for something similar for windows/linux for quite some time).

- The general system polish and usability. This is not directly "dev experience", but it's something you interact with while doing development throughout the day and it's just hands down a lot better than anything linux has atm.
The marriage tax seems like a way for the government to get it's cut of joint filings if couples are maximizing their income relative to their inherently lower tax bracket. I'm just a kid so don't quote me but I'd be willing to wager that the IRS has figured out all sorts of ways to prevent couples from abusing their tax leverage versus when they were single. Why people get married is very different than

> Why does my relationship need to be officially registered

There could be many reasons why couples get married, and many reasons why couples get divorced.
Oh yea, mobile apps are totally a great use case. But honestly I would probably just toss a quick route for `/config` in my backend server that returns my config JSON for the app--and then boom we're back to having version controlled configs in my git repos. And obviously, make sure in the app to cache the last version incase there's no internet connection, unless maybe the app requires an internet connection.
The US Treasury Committee on Foreign Investment in the US (CFIUS) can review any foreign purchase of a US business under the guise of National Security.

Do you store your API keys and other sensitive data with a site that doesn't even have a page discussing their encryption or security practices? Their privacy policy mentions they secure data with SSL protocol...

Who has access to each client's database? Is it audited? Is it encrypted at rest? I'm sure it is, but Config.ly would be wise to add this information to avoid fears.

Also you can store encrypted secrets in Git just fine, there are a number of methods to do so very safely.
Actually AFAIK it still works fine except privilege escalations (which do not concern users caring about security and using Qubes OS).
Updating Google Photos’ storage policy to build for the future
> How much does static analysis prevent you from creating bugs in the first place?

In my experience, basically not at all. It might help you catch some bugs a bit sooner, but, outside of languages like C that have no guard rails to speak of, the bugs I've seen cause problems in production are rarely, if ever, the kinds of bugs that static analysis tools are even trying to look for. I am a big fan of linting, but it's primarily because I like anything that makes the code less surprising to future readers.

For a similar reason, I see the Java boilerplate as a maintenance liability because, while the IDE can write it for you, it's a readability burden. Future readers have to look at that boilerplate, recognize it as such, and then read more closely to make sure it is perfectly standard boilerplate before they actually know what the code is doing. And any small deviation creates uncertainty. Was that deviation intentional or was it a mistake? The thing is, boilerplate is boring, so nobody actually does that. In short, it's a classic example of the paradox of automation.
It's probably a bit safer (easier to control) to use iodine which I carry for camping, even if only as backup. Once it's done it's thing, you can then put in some Vitamin C to neutralize most of the funny taste.
Thanks for the great feedback.

That's something we can definitely give more priority to.

I actually had an iOS library version that would poll infrequently in a background thread and had a synchronous API. Something like:

Configly.init(API_KEY, { values: [keyOne, keyTwo]})
// (other code runs)
print(configly.shared().get('keyOne')) // would be cached by the background thread

but was slightly concerned about unwanted bandwidth/battery usage for mobile users but perhaps that mode would be useful exactly for the situation you describe.
Are these usually used for monitoring (like a read-only api)? Or do people build on top of this? Like say, you only need the write ahead log, so you build out a key value store, ignoring all the other stuff postgres built on top of the write ahead log.

I guess I'm asking if you can take postgres and "turn it inside out" by cherry-picking parts of it to build other storage software with it.
The difference is that the operation of the Crypto AG machines was secret. Only the employees of the company had access. The operation of some contemporary systems is available to the whole world in the form of source code. In some cases multiple entities with no particular connection actually work on that source code. The trick is in insuring that the source code is the only thing that contributed to the program you are running.

As a fairly extreme example, consider what it would take to backdoor GnuPG. It is distributed to multiple platforms/OSes, most of which allow anyone to check both the signatures on the source code and then recreate the binaries.

The problem with Docker Hub is that they don't let you choose the pricing model. In the end, bandwidth and CPUs are not free, so someone has to pay. For a while it was VCs hoping for growth, but we all know that giving stuff away for free is not sustainable forever.

The problem with Docker Hub's pricing model is there are actually two use cases for Docker Hub. One is where some random entity makes some software -- they don't have any money, so it makes sense for the user to pay to download it. It's cheaper than setting up your own CI and hosting to build images, after all. That's the only pricing model that Docker Hub supports right now. It may be annoying that it used to be free, but that was just an accident -- you should have been paying for Docker Hub pulls from day one.

The other model is where some commercial entity wants to distribute software to their users. In that case, they'd be happy to pay for their users to anonymously download it. But, Docker Hub doesn't support this particular model, and that's what's causing a lot of problems. (Where I work, this is already a problem for our customers. I think we're going to move to GCR, and like the article mentions, this is a pain because we are locked in -- you can't make Docker Hub 302 to your new host. Everyone has to rewrite their configuration to pick up the new registry, all because Docker won't let us pay for their pulls!)

The article also talks about NPM being problematic. I kind of agree with this; I spend a lot of time waiting for my CI system to re-pull node modules. (Because everything is done in containers, nothing is preserved between builds. Things can be preserved if you want them to be, but on CircleCI it's actually faster to re-pull all the modules from the Internet than to restore from their own caching mechanism. Shrug.) I had this problem with Go when modules first came out (our builds were getting ratelimited by Github because a lot of our dependencies happened to be hosted there), but it was easy enough to set up a local module proxy, and it was never a problem for us again. (Go has since decided to run their own module proxy, and I stopped running my own. Theirs is great! But obviously, someday it won't be free anymore, but at least running your own is a first-class option.) NPM, it seems, have never really offered this as an option -- they've never rate limited me, and their documentation says "don't worry about it!" which of course makes me worry more ;)
For sure, some people need it. Anti-biotics are abused heavily here in the U.S. which in itself is a major health risk, when the person might legitimately need them. People are even eating anti-biotics without knowing it. What beef producers are allowed to do with anti-biotics and plastic waste is obscene.
Relying on generosity when there are infrastructure costs does not seem to be a workable model. It's somewhat amazing that it has survived so long.
That wasn’t my intention, but I could see how one could read it like that. I was simply thinking that they’d wait more before getting married. Those who decide before marriage it (or the other) is not for them lead to one less divorce.

Trafalgar got the margin much better than 538 in key states. Your list excludes several that 538 thought would be close but weren't: Ohio and Texas, and which ended up being close but 538 thought would be a blowout: Wisconsin. Putting those states in, you get Trafalgar erring in favor of Trump by 1.76 points, while 538 erred in favor of Biden by 4.37 points: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSulsnjJ96c2...

The final count will change these numbers a little bit, but I think Trafalgar will have gotten closer to the final result in these key states by 2.5 points on average.

I would guess that the tight proximity of the components as well as the way their communication is designed also brings something on the table. People are used to complain that the ram is soldered to the board, now it is part of the IC.
There are tools for doing this, but it's a matter of cost and complexity to deal with them.

Artifactory seems to have a pretty big chunk of this vertical. It supports a few different repository protocols, so it serves as a bit of a one-stop shop that survives technology changes.

Two separate orders:

1. Issued by Trump on August 6, which uses the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-or...

This executive order was stopped by a preliminary injunction issued by Judge Nichols, who based his decision on an explicit exception in the International Emergency Economic Powers Act:

"

(b)Exceptions to grant of authority

The authority granted to the President by this section does not include the authority to regulate or prohibit, directly or indirectly—

(1) any postal, telegraphic, telephonic, or other personal communication, which does not involve a transfer of anything of value;

…

(3) the importation from any country, or the exportation to any country, whether commercial or otherwise, regardless of format or medium of transmission, of any information or informational materials, including but not limited to, publications, films, posters, phonograph records, photographs, microfilms, microfiche, tapes, compact disks, CD ROMs, artworks, and news wire feeds. The exports exempted from regulation or prohibition by this paragraph do not include those which are otherwise controlled for export under section 4604 of this title, or under section 4605 of this title to the extent that such controls promote the nonproliferation or antiterrorism policies of the United States, or with respect to which acts are prohibited by chapter 37 of title 18; ...

"

2.

An executive order by Trump based on CIFUS, which is forcing a divestment of TikTok's acquisition of Musical.ly (whose founders are Chinese but operated the company in the US). If not, the order would bar TikTok from operating in the US.

The part of the order that would bar TikTok from operating in the US was halted by an injuction by Judge Wendy Beetlestone. Although she did not opine on the divestiture.
iOS's implementation is definitely useful, but I was thinking more along the lines of a permanent archive persistently stored.

iOS seems to optimize for temporary offline scenarios; saved pages do not seem to be backed up or synced to iCloud.
What does it mean for prepping to be 'taken over'? Preparing yourself is an activity an individual performs, it's not some sort of club that could be taken over. Some loon deciding to waste his money buying 50 rifles shouldn't be a factor for you deciding to put a flashlight in the nightstand beside your bed, or having a few gallons of fresh water stashed away in a closet.
Both these disasters are pretty horrible, of course, but I think the OP's point was that Chernobyl and nuclear disasters leave an area uninhabitable for periods of time that far outstretch the entirety of human civilization up to now.

Horrible dam failures don't do that, though of course there's a massive human cost for infrastructure failures like that. There's nothing like the "this is not a place of honor" warnings (for regions contaminated with nuclear waste) for dam failures, e.g.
"Pandemic. It's been a while since the highly developed world experienced a devastating outbreak, but it may be premature to flat out dismiss the risk. In 1918, an unusual strain of flu managed to kill 75 million people."

Well, this aged well! I'm glad to see this very reasonable take so far.

One thing that I don't see mentioned is a "go-bag" or "bug out bag", which I find to be one of the more useful preparations. Have a bag with some clothes, your documents, medication, whatever you might need if you need to leave your house in a couple of minutes notice for a couple of days. Super useful even if it's not a total life and death emergency, but you need to see or help someone, and won't know for how long. A lot of good advice here about what to put in it though! And a lot of useful advice on good skills to have.

One other small note: always have a roll of paper towels and toilet paper in your trunk in a bag. Just trust me on this one, you'll thank me later.

Makes sense and you could definitely do that.

I could be wrong, but I think some folks would want their other clients -- even their server -- retrieving that value from that one single source. So when you roll an Android app, you'd also want to implement HTTP + caching... And basically you're on the path to building your own Configly.

That's related to my rule of when DI is being abused: if you can't just new up the objects by hand (perhaps in a unit test somewhere), then you should rethink your use of DI.

I've seen projects where the dependency object graph exceeded anything you could possibly new up yourself, due to circular dependencies and impossibly complex scope rules. That's definitely a sign of a program so abstract no one can follow it.

(Microsoft's very simple DI container that's now standard out-of-the-box in .NET Core has somewhat strict limits on DI scopes and disallows circular dependencies, so it's one of the better ones.)

"It's typically an expensive ceremony"

A 'marriage' is not a 'ceremony' or a 'piece of paper'.

It's not 'typical' for a ceremony be 'expensive' - that's a very modern construct. My grandparents went to the Church, got married, there was a banquet at the hall, people brought food. That's it.

But how hard is it to understand that people want to honour their commitment in some way?

"Why do we have big awards ceremonies for those people (artists, citizens, soldiers), it's so expensive!"

Some (most?) people would want to honour that commitment. Many people who don't, just don't find themselves in the right conditions, but would otherwise.

But beyond the ceremony, marriage is a social institution, not a 'piece of paper'.

(Personally, I have a hard time grasping why people struggle with this)

A marriage is something 'that is built', the ceremony is just part of that, it takes time, effort, input to build a relationship, it's not just 'something that happens'.
