I think GPG is an amazing, well-designed, resilient, widely-adopted, well-tooled, time-tested, mathematically-proven technology and standard.

I think the only thing missing is a tolerable user interface that allows one-click key generation, one-click signing, and zero-click validation and verification.

I think that the biggest oversight in using it today is our attachment to our "main" or "primary" key and trying to hold on to it, keep it safe, and if we use multiple keys, trying to keep it all in the same "tree" or keyring.

We could be using it on every website and platform, and instead of creating an identity on the server, storing our identity locally, either on the filesystem, in LocalStorage, or some other way.

In fact, that's exactly the model I'm using in my web-based forum system. "Registering" an account is just generating a key, and posting something "with my identity" is just signing it with PGP.

In fact, I don't have a single feature which uses encryption yet. Only signing. Encryption is a bit of a red herring with PGP, I think verifiable signing and tooling for almost every platform and language in existence are its two real killer features.

Without nation-state backing, I wouldn't trust it to keep something secure or private. On the other hand, its portability, adaptability, and compatibility is unmatched by any tool that I'm aware of. It allows you to have a portable identity that you can own and secure, and do it all in plaintext.

And the content, identities, votes of my forum can be migrated, cloned, copied, synchronized among any other forum like it, or used outside of it with the most popular identity tooling in existence at your disposal. Just download a zip of text files and you're good to go!
A general-purpose parser has to be able to handle the possibility of nested tables, so it has to account for escaping. And once you have an escaping-aware parser the choice of delimiter is no longer critical.
You've been mislead if you think the 13" Macbooks run at full boost clock all the time.

I used the double swap trick to play pirated games without a mod chip.

I remember feeling distinctly as if it were one of those fake internet things and I was about to get trolled when I was about to try it for the first time. And then it worked.
Yeah, after reading that sentence I kind of just stopped reading the article. Pass' multi-line flag lets you save whatever text you want.

It's really handy because you can save a couple of things like API keys and what not but have the first line be your password so you can still use it seamlessly as a password manager with the copy to clipboard flag, but then access the extra lines of details on a need to know basis.
From reading the blog posts/source code, I can explain how it works.

Here’s a simple way to give a set of changes (a state) an id:

1. Take the hashes of each change

2. XOR them together

3. This is your state ID.

The problem is that because of the way you’ve made it (basically adding a bunch of vectors in a vector space over F2), one could use Gaussian elimination to construct any given ID without it being of the intended set of changes. Therefore pijul uses a process which works similarly but in a more cryptographically secure way which makes forging state IDs harder.
This is a weird take. I hesitate to accuse you of not reading the study, but calling it an 'article' makes it seem like you just read the headline. The fact that there's a compound that has such a profound effect on the nervous system is certainly an important discovery, regardless of where that compound is found.

For context, when I was in undergrad ~10 years ago, it was accepted as fact that a person only ever had the amount of neurons they were born with, and that new neurons could never be produced endogenously.

In any event, the authors of this study certainly aren't advocating that anyone start using illegal drugs.
I’ve been training dogs as a hobby for a good 15-20 years. It’s been neat to see the shift away from “dominance” training to positive reinforcement. The difference in how dogs react is pretty wild. With the new way, the dogs are excited to work. With the old way, there were so many dogs working just to avoid punishment, which doesn’t give them the same drive to please.
Any tech solution to this problem gurantees that it will make the human problem worse.

I guarantee this.

Any human behavior first approach, will have some marginally better but equally troubling progress.

This is a hell problem.

> A big "Yes" to proportional scroll bars. I didn't have an Amiga, but rather an ST. The ST also had proportional scroll bars and for years, I could not understand why the major platforms (Windows, MacOS) did not. It was a pet peeve that really bothered me when I would sit down to use someone's Mac or PC of the time.

Windows has proportional scrollbars: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20030731-00/?p=43...
This is what people think is a ponzi scheme for tech people. In fact it's actually a Ponzi scheme for all the same suspects as last time. i.e. the same guy who gets into Amway or the pyramid marketing schemes falls into this.

Tech people don't fall into these Ponzi schemes. They fall into a different variety where a serial entrepreneur who has repeatedly received funding is assumed to be more capable than a guy new to the game.
I live in Germany, and while the healthcare problems here aren't as severe as in the US, there is still the issue of people (and at least some insurance) accepting homeopathic 'medicine'.
Oracle v. Google would have happened eventually. The underlying problem is the law, not the litigants. In any other field that deals with copyright, the idea that copyright protection extends to what is effectively a series of headings and summaries would be obvious. The problem is that copyright is a poor fit for software - our headings and summaries carry function to them, and changing them breaks code. In general, the law doesn't want to grant copyright over purely functional things, or even things where functionality and creativity are frustratingly mixed. That's why boat hulls and hardware have separate ownership regimes - copyright over them was explicitly rejected. But we also explicitly said software is copyrightable, which leaves open the question of where the unprotected function ends and the protected creativity starts.

Maybe in the world where Android never happened, some other company stumbled upon this rich vein of confusion, and we're dealing with SCO/Novell/Attachmate/Whoever v. Apple over who can implement UNIX APIs in their kernels.
Middle managers please take note...
I saw this story some other place earlier, and it was mentioned that 28% of plastic pollution of the oceans is tire debris.

Plastic is organic. As it breaks down, it does so in an endless variety of organic molecules. These being similar to biological molecules, they readily interact with all sorts of biological systems. Those systems have all seen a few billion years of optimisation, making it unlikely for any random interference to be beneficial.
I also have not seen many vacancies advertised at that level. But I suspect there are roles for people with the right experience. The roles are getting filled by recruiters approaching already employed people.

My guess is a very experienced developer that speak English and Japanese can get base salaries above ¥10m at FAANG in Tokyo. So probably ¥15m with bonus and RSUs is obtainable.
> Apple wants people to hack on the M1 machines

Of course they do. Like they wanted people to hack on OSX 20 years ago; and once they reached critical mass, they pulled up the drawbridges (dropping anything GNU, dropping Java, restricting access to the OS, pushing AppStore, etc etc).

Chances they're going to do exactly the same with M1 and its follow-ups are 99.99%... if anything because their management is largely drawn from the very same people who executed that strategy.
>How does one break out when everyone's taking glamorous selfies in Thailand but I'm working in a dingy apartment trying to build the next big app?

Isn't the idea of building the "next big app" itself based on the same kind of get-rich-quick mindset those schemes are exploiting?

Only except for the "nomad lifestyle" or "selling courses", etc, it's supposed to happen by coding in a dingy apartment. But it's equally unlikely, and too starry-eyed, the tech nerd version of the kind of dream the stereotypical bus-arriving Midwestern teenagers had of "becoming famous in Los Angeles".

How about merely building a business? Think small indie developer or Basecamp at best, vs Facebook and Amazon.
Much of what you said rings true with me and brings back chills of having a meeting to plan a meeting to discuss actually doing work, except for one piece.

> The carriers would print money forever if they simply fired everyone unrelated to the actual network (cables and towers) and charged everyone a flat rate. And some overhead of the basic infrastructure services like provisioning numbers and 911.

In my experience with these projects, I'm not sure it's safe to conclude that they add up to enough to significantly change the economics of the network. I know working on the projects feels like a huge waste of time and energy, but we're talking a million dollars here and there, when the cables, towers, and core people are spending 500 million plus per year. I'm sure it adds up, but all businesses have overhead, and I don't see it as a game changer.

As for charging a flat rate, I'm actually of the opposite perspective. I realize it's probably unpopular for this community, but for a long time I've been an advocate that mobile usage should be metered by use. The problem I have with the flat rates, is the users who use less always end up subsidizing the power users who use significantly more. Much of the network investment goes into supporting the top end users, but it's everyone else who has to pay for it. For wireline access this might be a bit different roi calculation, but for mobile wireless I think this is a real economics problem, and flat rate is not an incentive for a carrier to support or retain a power user who wants to use lots of data.

So personally I prefer a model that works more like electricity usage or filling a gas tank, where you pay for what you use, and you naturally get a feel for watching 4k video all day costs more. This of course needs the tools in place to understand where the usage is coming from, not to surprise anyone, etc, etc, so it's not a perfect model, but compared to years ago and the rates that could be offered, it seems atleast to me like a more natural model.
Actually, the main motivation I have seen over the decades has always been some variant of the Precautionary Principle.

> What are the pseudoscience parts?

Honestly, "They just snap my spine into place and some times rough up a muscle just to prevent it snapping back out of location again." sounds pretty suspicious to me. What does "snap my spine into place" mean, exactly? Were you literally paralyzed or handicapped in some way until they did this thing?

Muscles "snapping out of location"? How does that work?
The single case in the known universe.

If you have trouble with noise try getting a white noise machine to drown out the other noises. I have upstairs neighbors and my bedroom is attached to the kitchen here, so there's often quite a bit of noise. The white noise machine has helped a lot for me.

This seems like a problem that could be solved by a professional association rather than regulation. The association could advertise the competence of, and impose quality standards on its members.
Thanks for answering. One more question, how about eating? Do you allow for some time before sleeping, as a rule?
They literally did say that it wasn't possible to do what OP is asking using the provided interface. Its not the support persons job to explain what would happen if you hack the device to work differently.
I think that's the unfortunate consequence of people without a basic CS background inventing ad-hoc data formats. I recently had to deal with a kind of "nested CSV", where each level of nesting introduced a new delimiter! Who needs recursion?

Replit Multiplayer: Collaboratively code in realtime
I wouldn’t be surprised if this has more to do with recruiting agencies that take south-east asians and take them to out of country to work in disreputable establishments. Think sweatshops and prostitution, when promised to work in a high-end resort. It’s extremely easy to take advantage of people when they are out of their home country.
By regulating the industry it keeps bad actors out, but I’d think it’d be very unlikely to improve the recruitment process quality; the common knowledge is that less regulation leads to... well whatever those people are selling these days.
It's the presentation of a single non-governmental, potentially biased organization, the AP, as the authoritative figure, to which I object. The black box message didn't mention electors or counts at all, only that "the AP has called" it.
The Amiga was far ahead on several fronts including digital audio and video, but the Atari ST was the platform of choice for midi using musicians. A couple of today’s biggest DAWs (Steinberg Cubase & Apple Logic) have their roots on the Atari ST.
That’s not the point.
The cost of assassinations on this level is in the prep work.

It takes very large amounts of money, skill and time to develop and run an intelligence network capable of pulling something like this off.

As counter intuitive as it seems these organizations are extremely risk averse because to them risks means years of work down the drain, opportunities lost and often for good and quite likely dead assets and or agents.

A $200 or even a $2000 drone doesn’t minimizes these risks it introduces additional ones.

Killing someone in a hail of bullets is easy and reliable, using a toy with a small explosive attached to it isn’t.
Forgive me if I misunderstand, but I thought Signal's protocol prevented anyone, including Signal from intercepting messages, as these are encrypted end-to-end.

The threat model is that someone else is impersonating your correspondent. This is not message interception but identity verification. Your communication with whoever is on the other end is secure within Signal, but your correspondent may do whatever they wish with the messages.
I also fantasized about vanlife. Eamon & Bec is an awesome channel if you want to learn about that sort of thing. They certainly grew their channel enough to be comfortable.
I read much less of calling it an article as a slight than just the fact the GP has noticed hallucinogens in the news lately, which is true. News tends to equate their lumping of words into sentences into paragraphs as news articles. It stems way back to the times of the printed news paper.
Your Goal Is to Die Broke? Easier Said Than Done
I don't know about you guys, but most of the stuff that takes up space on my drives are:

1) Videos from my DSLR

2) RAW images from my DSLR

3) Various movies / TV series I downloaded

4) Game files (most of which are textures and 3D models)

None of that stuff is really compressible.

I took the (Penn) Calculus sequence by Robert Ghrist and really enjoyed it as a review of single variable calculus. He uses Taylor series as the basis of his explanations which I felt was really clean way to provide intuition for some of the more complicated theorems and formulae. The lecture videos have high quality animations and are broken into digestible chunks (around 10-15 minutes each). The downside is that only a few example problems are shown being worked out, but I only found this to be an issue for a few of the lectures (mainly in the applied calculus section of the course).

The course also covers some interesting, non-standard topics. In particular, I liked the lecture on a discrete version of calculus (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHa8UgWigZk) which can be used to find easy solutions to series and recurrence relations (e.g. the "discrete anti-derivative" can be used to provide quick closed-form solutions to sums of the form "n^k from n=1 to K" - an example occurs at the 5:28 mark of the linked lecture, but some background from earlier in the video will be necessary to follow along).

The lecture videos are available on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKc2XOQp0dMwj9zAXD5Ll...), but I would recommend working through the problems on Coursera (especially the challenge problems) as well. I would also recommend that viewers watch the videos as 1.5x speed or faster. Dr. Ghrist speaks so slowly in these videos that I found it distracting.

For those who have some knowledge of the standard intro calculus textbooks, the level of rigor and difficulty in this course is above the Stewart book that many universities use, but below the Spivak/Apostol/Courant type of book that an honors course may use.

This used to be a single course, but Coursera split it up into 5 pieces, with somewhat unhelpful names. The sequence is "Part 1 - Functions"[1], "Part 2 - Differentiation"[2], "Part 3 - Integration"[3], "Part 4 - Applications"[4], and "Part 5 - Discrete Calculus"[5]. The first four parts names are reflected in their Coursera titles, but the "Discrete Calculus" course is titled "Single Variable Calculus" instead since it contains the final exam for the overall sequence.

It's also worth mentioning that Dr. Ghrist also has other video lectures available on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/c/ProfGhristMath) for other math courses including a sequence on multivariable calculus called "Calculus Blue."

Not a single company is going to recreate your unsupported setup to see what would happen and let you know unless there was a huge payment being made. Since the only reason OP is doing this is to save time, it would make no sense to spend weeks going around to each vendor trying to work out which one to pick.

And often support people give wrong info, you may eventually find a vendor that just says "Sure you can do that" and then you get it and find out you cant.

You probably don't need to verify just to tell someone "hello" or exchange other non-secret conversation. But it would be wise to verify before you plan a secret conspiracy with the person.
More patients died in the vitamin D group (7% vs 5%).
I think you'll be far more successful in convincing others if you avoid sounding like you're repeating industry talking points. The “anti-science” tack is guaranteed to produce that outcome and by now many other arguments are rather muddied by all of the industry PR which has been unfolding for years.

I agree that we need GMO in our toolbox, as do almost all of the people I know who are hesitant about that, but that's only going to happen through building trust and, importantly, recognizing legitimate arguments and talking about how to address them rather than trying to claim they're not valid.
pass is simple on *nix. Pass is just painful on Windows and Android, probably on iOS too. I used to use pass for my passwords, but one day I switched to KeePassXC, which is a nice multiplatform GUI, has all the GUI niceties (and auto-type), there are mobile apps to work with it, and I keep my database synced with OneDrive.
- daily excercise really helps

- read a textbook before sleeping (works for me everytime)

- turn off the lights by 8 (not just dimming)

- get rid of your tv if you have one

personal anecdote:

for me, difficulty in sleeping is also caused by work anxiety, so... maybe changing that work environment might be something to think about
Having kids changes many things. Certainly, your opportunity to sleep fully will be hampered.

However, if the responsibilities are shared between multiple adults, you can still get it done some of the time, and be well-rested and comfortable for when it's your turn to watch the kids and let other adults do their sleeping.

The M1 represents Apple’s best effort running on the world’s most advanced manufacturing process.

It’s a pretty safe bet that up until now the Qualcomm team hasn’t been given the freedom or the resources to make their best effort on a general-purpose desktop-class chip. Now that Apple has shown what is possible, you might think that the gloves are coming off. Especially if Microsoft and/or Samsung* indicate that they would buy such a chip at the price it would have to be sold at.

* Microsoft and Samsung currently sell ARM-based laptops, with the Microsoft version being a slight modification of the Qualcomm chip in the Samsung.

You probably need to de-duplicate before compression, at least for many compression schemes.
Replace "RAM" with "electricity" and it becomes obvious why that quip is wrongheaded, at least for those of us who pay our own electric bill. "Developers" like that who don't care about externalities because they're not footing the bill waste millions of dollars worth of RAM, millions of dollars worth of electricity, etc. globally.
