A good tutorial for a tool I use every day. I'd add a couple of things:

1. Up/down arrows to scroll through command history

2. \timing will show the execution time of sql commands

3. \watch N allows you to repeat commands every N seconds, very handy in certain situations

> once counterparties have authenticated each other's messages, the legitimate need for authentication is gone; allowing random strangers to authenticate messages concedes information to them.

As you know, there are many legitimate needs to authenticate messages of strangers.

For example, when you order products over the internet, an e-mail of your purchase is often the only proof of what was agreed in the purchase. If there is later a dispute between the buyer and the seller, the email can be used to repudiate lies. In particular, if a third party (like a court) can authenticate the message, the honest party can convince the third party that the dishonest party is being fraudulent.

You are exaggerating when you claim that there is no legitimate need to authenticate messages as a third party.
Do you mistrust the unsigned emails from 10+ years ago because they were sent prior to DKIM?

As for authenticity, you could contact him, or his correspondents?
>Im surprised at what lengths people go to sustain their attachment to their macs and apple.

Probably because going to these lengths is rare, and people will just service/replace the ocassional problematic machine.

Whereas in Linux land this is much more common, and you're on your own commercial support wise (and with friendly forums to guide you).
What is the average hospitalization and fatality rate among cases where the patient was taking a high dose vitamin D regimen?
Labels must go too. Artists legitimately needed them when distribution required physically producing and distributing media to stores. With the advent of the internet, this is no longer required, so these middlemen serve no practical purpose any more. They're an unfortunate holdover.
Thanks. I have been following SENS and Aubrey De Grey since the Methuselah Mouse days. Very commendable and I am looking forward to my years ahead.

When I mentioned my age, the weight of the past as I have witnessed over the years also bears down on my worldview.

The arguments I rattled off as a young atheist in my 20s don’t hold water anymore..because I have more years of witnessing on my back now.
I think you vastly oversimplify how easy this fix is likely to be. For all we know this may mean touching code in multiple repos, each with hard-coded lists of which cards are supported for some case or another. At least that is what it would mean to change something like this where I am now.
Server push is an optional extra, and the browser can drop support without hurting compatibility at all.

The browser cannot drop support for an image format without major compatibility issues.

If you would like to bet on whether webp is still supported in Chrome in a decade I'd be happy to ;)

(Disclosure: I work for Google, and have no internal information on this)
So you're saying my media is evil and trying to make me fearful using false exaggerated information, but somehow your media has no motivation besides giving you perfect accurate information. I'm an easily fooled rube while you're able to float above it and extract only the good info .
As we head into the post-truth era, we already know videos are going to become far less trusted due to deep fake tech. Finding grains of truth through cryptography, like DKIM, is so refreshing that it hurts to think some people want to cripple it.

The Hunter Biden email is a good example.

I initially thought it was a garbage tabloid drop, but once I read Rob Graham's analysis, it felt very refreshing to have a real nugget of truth based on math. While the context of that content is up for debate, the truth was essentially undeniable (unless you subscribe to the 2016 private key being stolen).

We need nuggets of truth.
In case someone from AMD is reading here, you should probably gift out some of the cards to generate some traction. For example, send one to me ;) But joke aside, the ROCm documentation seems so wacky that I would not dare to purchase an expensive AMD card without recommendation by someone that I trust.

For example, rocmdocs.amd.com appears to be the official documentation, but the front page doesn't mention any popular AI framework. Opening the "Deep Learning" box in the sidebar, I see that there should be a TensorFlow 2.2.0-beta1 release. But on https://github.com/ROCmSoftwarePlatform/tensorflow-upstream the featured release is "2.0.0-rocm", the docker link says it's TensorFlow 2.3 and the "Official Builds" at the bottom of the readme point to CUDA versions ... The whole GitHub repo kind of feels like a bad copy&paste job. I manage to eventually download the TensorFlow 2.3.1 + ROCm source from GitHub, only to find that it doesn't compile. I need the hip_hcc library https://github.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/HIP/ but apparently that one has been renamed some months ago, but the ROCm TensorFlow port has not been updated yet.

After spending half a day trying to install a ROCm-compatible TensorFlow, I gave up. Obviously, I wouldn't want to hope on those issues getting resolved when I buy an as-is unusable $6400 accelerator card. That said, the MI100 could be a great deal if I could get it to work. AMD hardware is a lot more affordable than comparable NVIDIA products, plus the MI100 has lots of fast RAM. I work on optical flow (think autonomous selfie drone) and that needs lots and lots of GPU RAM. Plus I'm very happy with my AMD CPU. But like I said in the beginning, I wouldn't dare buying an AMD GPU unless there was believable evidence that I can get my TF2.3 model running with ROCm in a reasonable timeframe.

I'm not trying to blame AMD for having bugs here. I have run into a fair share of issues with NVIDIA GPUs, too, like for example a RAM corruption bug inside CUDA 10.0 and a reproducible kernel freeze in CUDA 10.1. But for NVIDIA, the initial setup is quick and easy. And the CUDA documentation looks like they have a dedicated team that cares about developer productivity. For AMD's ROCm, on the other hand, even the marketing material reads more like someone hopes that the open source community will fix things for free. "first open-source software development platform for HPC/Hyperscale-class GPU computing" sounds great until you notice that in this context, "open-source" apparently means "no binaries + no support".
I’m not sure if it’s a forest of deep niches, at this point I would say that the niche is the 7 figure server racks with A100’s outisde of the cloud providers...

There are still more use cases for GPU compute on the edge than in the datacenter and that likely won’t change.

And for Linux on the enterprise desktop well then ROCm can’t run in WSL2, CUDA can so yet another reason to bloody support Windows...

Because WSL2 is ironically probably the way forward for Linux on the desktop for the majority of the computerized workforce.
Strong Passwords Don't Work
Hey Google. Please never do this. This would throw thousands of evidence about how Erdogan regime worked with terror organisations, including the e-mails that tried to ban social media to stop these evidences be available to public. And also how they declared innocent people as terror organisations with some companies that offered law support. For example, this one https://wikileaks.org/berats-box/emailid/35540 especially verifies a crime - Turkish Airlines Nigeria Weapon transfer as it marks the event as "Government Secret"; The evidence that they talk on this e-mail involves a call where the ministers talk "I don't know if they will use it to kill Muslims or Christians".

That specific e-mail does not have DKIM signature (maybe because it was sent his own gmail address? or to an gmail address in general?).

I am aware that even if they publish the DKIM secrets, these e-mail will not lose any value since these e-mails was posted before the secrets.

But I think using e-mails as evidence should be a thing in general. As you could receive them to your personal e-mail server and want to authenticate and use it on a court, even years after. If they publish the keys, it would not be possible as you could be the one who forged the e-mail as it were received from somebody else and has been put to your IMAP server manually.
psql also allows you to set local variables and interpolate them into SQL. Values can be assigned from query results or with shell style back ticks! Powerful and frightening!

From the manual:

=> SELECT 'hello' AS var1, 10 AS var2
-> \gset
=> \echo :var1 :var2
hello 10

testdb=> \set content `cat my_file.txt`
testdb=> INSERT INTO my_table VALUES (:'content');
Then why don't we design such a system first with a higher level of guarantee first and inform users that this the goal.
The T2 is the SSD controller, which also transparently encrypts all the data on the SSD. So yeah, a firmware issue will nuke your data by design.
I would argue a large part of the economic hardships in the US are not due to lockdowns but due to changing spending habits caused by the virus. There is a large amount of economic uncertainty right now and so people increase savings. Restaurants around me are open right now but I don't go to them as I have no desire to risk getting Covid, I used to spend ~$500 a month eating out. I now spend close to 0. I think many tens / hundreds of thousands of people are doing the same as I am. So despite a non locked down economy, restaurants are going out of business.

Until the virus is cured, people will continue to increase savings where possible as the virus causes economic uncertainty regardless of lockdown status. To think that if we just lifted all restrictions life would go back to normal is not accurate. If we lifted mask requirements in stores, my spending would sink even lower as my risk would go up.
This may be completely true in a technical sense, but that's not how the law works (see https://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/23). And while the same bits pass through your connection, this equivalence already breaks down right away: There is clearly a difference between persisting a media file to disk vs having it ephemeral in browser memory.
The same analogy applies to the 2017 I-85 bridge collapse in metro Atlanta (2017). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_85_bridge_collapse

This was the main interstate connecting the suburbs to the business districts in Atlanta. The traffic on alternate routes after the collapse was apocalyptical. However, the new replacement was built in record time (1 month). The teams were given cash bonuses and other incentives to finish ahead of schedule. Basically, when "it matters", things get done quicker.
You've confused fission with fusion. Thermonuclear doesn't mean what you think it means.

You say the LSD example is "Inapplicable" to the question of cost, difficulty and the economics of illegal activities... in what way? It isn't the same as your favorite example, but getting ahold of large quantities of the correct isotope of uranium is less convenient than you seem to think.

The unit cost of destruction goes down every year; fears are normal if relevant. You'd do better to argue, say, that terrorism kills only a fraction of the people every year that asthma does. Which is true, even in Isreal, during every year of its existence.
Github did not stand up for developers here at all. It is wonderful that in the future they might, but it seems to me like they missed/have been missing a chance to really stand up for devs. The DMCA is being used far too often for abusive aims for my tastes and I hope that some reform is around the corner (Maybe more real incentives to not file false claims).
This stance actually annoys me. Should we ditch all but one and only web browser? desktop environment? file manager? database? terminal? language? There it starts and where it ends? And who decides what the true form is?

I do not like apt, dpkg, aptitude — interface is not good, output extremely verbose by default and it was slow. Its existence does not annoy me as I do not use it anymore. I use pacman, but this annoys you, what should I do? Abandon it and fill the web with grieve?

Maybe you have to work with different distributions, it should not be hard to create (or google) wrapper https://github.com/icy/pacapt

Separate communities is Linux power. We do not argue on a true form, we solve our needs.
Seriously? In my big city, people are generally behaving as if the disease doesn't exist, at least on weekends. Restaurants are pretty full, stores are busy. The only time it feels different is during weekdays, when the city is empty from forced WFH. When people are given the choice, they are choosing to go out in the world, risks and all.

I think a majority of people stopped giving a shit in June[1]. The government's continued lockdown policies are 100% at fault for continued economic distress.

Religion and the notion of God is certainly a man made institution. And yet...within a span of just one year we have seen institutions crumble or at least weaken.. industry, financial institutions, news and media, education and dare I say, democracy. All man made institutions. Let’s include armies, marriage institution, family units, country borders, political parties/philosophies etc.

From a broader perspective, what are all the man made institutions we have relied on to be pillars of civilization? Let’s make a list. I am not talking about natural institutions...and by which, I mean those that follow the second law of thermodynamics and entropy before it perishes. Like the aging human body or a tree of forests etc.

Only religion has survived. Abrahamic monotheistic faiths for 2000 and Hinduism for 5000 and offshoots of Hinduism like Buddhism etc for slightly lesser periods. All man made. They have not only thrived but also as a viral meme spread fast. And haven’t evolved much(little changes in ritual or practices doesn’t count as evolution)

And many other man made religious institutions have come and gone. So many cults exists, but some have more staying power than others.
About 1 L per 5 km doesn't seem that much of a stretch... it's rather extremely gas-guzzling.
> Basically, you want to eat the stuff our bodies are made of and avoid things it's not made of. If it doesn't have some function in our cellular processes, it's garbage. Avoid processed stuff, stuff full of chemicals and additives.

Avoiding "chemicals" is impossible and needs to be stricken from nutritional parlance. It's a useless statement. Everything is "chemicals".

Beyond that, the fact is that your body can process a BUNCH of stuff. A bunch of stuff has function in our cellular processes. For example, Sucrose is used all over the place in our bodies. It is even highly biologically available. That doesn't mean that drinking pure sugar water is healthy.

In fact, one thing that our body can't process or use at the cellular level is fiber, yet you advocate that we consume it.

This is exactly the sort of statement I'm talking about when I talk about it being hard for people to grasp dietary health guidelines. It is filled with pseudo-scientific nonsense.

Sorry to come down harshly. If you want to disprove it, then fill free to give me a definition of "chemicals" or "cellular processes" that doesn't make sugar water a health drink. Please link to any sort of scientific study that uses the terms you just used. Please avoid linking to blog posts or youtube videos of quacks.

This is a lot of time to devote to chess "as an adult". I've got children, who take up a lot of my time. I would love to learn how to play chess, but for "fun" not as some kind of competition. Is it worth while to learn chess for this reason, or is it only rewarding if you are beating somebody?
I'm quite certain it's relative. Hydration and exercise are huge factors. I'm not sure how common it is now, but construction workers in hot climates were often given straight salt tablets to swallow in the past-- with as much water & exercise as they get, it's actually necessary to prevent Hyponatremia. They're probably more into energy drinks these days.

Anyway, the person I was thinking of also seems to take in less fluids and get less exercise than I do on average, further compounding the difference for us in particular. That's part of why I mentioned our case, it's more extreme the closer you look.
I think you are missing part of the irony here. A good number of those Hillary emails should have been on a government server in the first place, signed for entirety by the government for archival. Non-repudiation is an explicit design goal for the communication of public officials.
Same reason governments filter the water or remove lead from paint; just because knowledge is available doesn't mean all citizens can and will act on it, and sometimes lowering the barrier is all that's needed.

Moreover, I'd argue older generations in particular are more susceptible to believing what the doctor says. Just having the research available and the vitamins on the shelf isn't going to have nearly the same uptake as a centralised push.
> Individual interactions 1:1 aren't the spread concern

I don't think my conclusion from your assertion is abusive to your position. There are many many 1:1 interactions in this world.

For instance, we could simply say, as long as your store is low volume, only has 1 cashier, and only lets 1 healthy looking person in at a time, you don't represent a "spread concern".

> While most transmission is via super spreader individuals, you can't know if the one person you give covid-19 will end up a spreader.

Yet as far as we know, no such event has ever been tracked back to a sex worker. Not conclusive, but if you're honest you have to at least wonder why and if we have some mistaken assumptions in our models.
Google at odds with U.S. over protective order for firms tied to lawsuit
as much as i like apple, one thing i absolutely hate is that searching for anything in apple maps brings up yelp suggestions for restaurant:

1) not only are you faced with downloadin the yelp app to look at more pictures which are present on the first page but

2) after reading articles like these i'm in concern that instead of supporting my local mom and pop restaurants i'm now being routed intentionally through god knows who.

i know this is yelp article, but apple and other companies relie on yelp, and if they choke off this behavior it would be a good step to correcting it.
No. You just missed the entire point...

I do have strong opinions about exploitation of other humans though, and probably stronger ones about modern mental gymnastics apparatus which lets people justify the whole thing.
The Gira here as well, and left physical switches behind them. So in an emergency I can pull them off the wall push the switch that's behind to turn off power.

Also 3d printed a holder for a few places that slots into a Gira frame and holds the Philips Hue Tap button. Allows more control of scenes etc, but the color isn't exactly the same.
only works for certain games that are not deepyly integrated into steamworks.

"$10 off your next service if you give us a review on Yelp" is just the tip of an iceberg of complaints people have about online review systems, including Yelp.

I was once traveling and some friends found a highly reviewed place on Yelp. When we got there it turned out the glowing reviews were all written by the owner's son. At least he felt bad enough about it to give us free dessert.
These arguments about whether the virus is 'bad' or not are entirely subjective. Not having to hear them anymore will be one of the biggest upsides of this vaccine.
indeed. that's why we continuously _empirically_ prove that we are in fact safe - https://vectorized.io/validating-consistency/

there is no substitute to testing tho

there are 2 levels here. 1) raft has a proof (and a great phd dissertation from diego), but what matters is if we actually implemented it correctly. so 2) is we need to continuously test it. Denis did a lot of similar work at CosmosDB (microsoft) and has spent his career working on consensus.

Hopefully these eases some concerns.
> Since top comments here are anecdata about how terrible covid is for a young person, just thought I'd share my experience. ... We don't want to paint our picture of the situation using only extremes. How about we include the "average" anecdata too?

The reason for those anecdotes is to counter the false narrative that young people are basically invulnerable to Covid, and should therefore live like it doesn't exist. That false narrative has been quite prevalent, even here, as an oblique way of arguing against public health measures.

There's no actual prevalent narrative that no one escapes Covid unscathed that needs to be countered.
Apple has a pretty loose approach to backwards compatibility on macOS, compared to Microsoft with Windows.

But even with Windows, bugs always happen and goal of IT is to keep your system and tools up, not chase after latest hotness. If IT allows immediate upgrade to a new OS, they’re playing with fire and waiting for an upgrade that bricks significant % of devices and brings company operations to the halt. Heads will roll as a result, especially if that’s in a remote work setup.

I use the Friends of Hue but left physical switches (in the on position) under them. So if you pull them open you can turn off the power in an emergency.

And 3d printed a holder for a few rooms that fits the Gira frame and holds a Hue button. Works to control more things (and used it that way in my old house), but the color of Hue isn't exactly the same as the frame.
Trust me, I don’t usually care and would have given up – I think it was way too difficult to fix this. I’ve written extensively about switching from macOS to Windows and much prefer using a PC personally: https://char.gd/blog/2019/the-state-of-switching-to-windows-...

In this case, however, my job requires I use the Mac issued to me so y’know, it was in my interest to get it going again while I waited for a replacement.
There's a lot of "trust me" in this article that simply isn't backed up by the ACLU's own outline of it's free speech position: https://www.aclu.org/issues/free-speech

It is one thing for an individual in the organization to have a nuanced view of the issue and another thing entirely for the organization to have backed off a maximalist view of the right. I encourage you to read the ACLU's position (which interestingly includes "We’ve called on big social media companies to resist calls for censorship.").
