>This is well and good until those sources start to lose their reputability by publishing stories that stretch credulity (WaPo and the NYT with their 'anonymous intelligence sources familiar with the thinking of people near the matter')

It sounds like maybe we should add courses on journalism then too because there is nothing specific about this approach that stretches credulity if done properly. Unnamed sources are a crucial part of a lot of good journalism.
I'm seeing large chunks of "rational" people avert their gaze from consideration of "truth", and the fallout promises to be ugly.
I guess just entirely inventing the slope and start points as well as a predicted trajectory is a new achievement in "slippery slope" arguments. Congratulations.

More seriously, maybe invent imaginary third parties rather than arbitrarily assigning your imagined bad motives and awful consequences to real people who did none of what you've suggested?

Google could, if they wanted, just add a new category to Safe Browsing. They could call it "Arbitrary censorship" or "Nazis are bad" or whatever you want. There are already several categories which even use slightly different parameters for the core technology so this wouldn't substantially change the system and yet would add much more flexibility if you wanted (as you might well) to protect against Phishing whether from Nazis or not, while still visiting a popular web site organising the overthrow of American democracy.

First step check if the external wan IP address has changed.

Second Check the logs of the pppoe daemon in your router. (If the router provides such logs).
Sometime Google doesn't recognize your device and then your password is not enough... even if you have second-factor authentication disabled. So if you don't have a second form of contact like another phone number or another email for recovery, then you are fucked. Sometime they even ask you for a previous password for recovery, so if you use a password manager that doesn't keep history, you might also be fucked.
Thank you for your view, I guess Roam also adheres to the Zettelkasten way and that's why there is much more focus on the interlinking of nodes ?

It seems to me the difference lies more in the wiki software. I was asking the initial question because there are wiki engines with a lot of features, and what you are doing for Zettelkasten can be done in them as well: take for example tiddlywiki (https://tiddlywiki.com/) which organizes nodes in "tiddlers" instead of full-blown articles or pages. You can link to another "tiddler", or you can even include it so its content can be reused elsewhere without having to "click". So it seems to me those new systems are more revealing of todays' wiki engines' limitations than completely new paradigms.

Another difference I just realized: wikis are expected to be read and modified by multiple people, while Roam and Zettelkasten systems are expected to be used by one person only. While not written in stone, I feel like this has an impact on the way content is structured.
That's my point, a threat of the US escalating to nuclear war to defend Taiwan is not credible. Therefore there must be conventional means of ensuring a conventional attack on Taiwan cannot succeed.
So does this mean every message I sent till the update isn't rolled out to the client is still DDoSing them ?
Yeah, Steam's DRM implementation is ancient and well known to be compromised. They never really push it, but publishers demand it to "feel" safe. The biggest hook is that many people prefer games on Steam due to the added benefits.
You also lose any dedicated VRAM. That's an extra 4-8 gigs the Intel Macs have.

If you don't need it, you don't need it but to say 16 gigs on an M1 is somehow "better" seems silly to me.
"Consider as" does not mean "is". Your lack of reading comprehension is not the fault of the poster.
EU is working on addressing these issues. They specifically want to label companies like Google as "gatekeepers" in The Digital Markets Act.

From: https://www.pinsentmasons.com/out-law/news/gatekeepers-face-...

> In case of violations, the new law would provide for fines of up to 10% of a gatekeeper's total global turnover. Lasseur said: "The fines are high, but they correspond to the usual sanction regime for violations of European competition law."

> In the event of a repeated offence, following a detailed market investigation by the Commission, the company could even be broken if the Commission finds that there is no effective alternative to ensure that the gatekeeper obligations are complied with.

The fines will no longer be just a cost of doing business, but an existential threat. It may take 10 or 15 years in courts but EU will break down likes of Google for repeated offenses even if the relevant products will no longer exist.
I wonder though, how much is some extra complexity good for the bottom line of companies that make their money on consulting and supporting the tools that they create/maintain?
Somebody has to recommend the basic stuff, otherwise it's just rumor. This is a topical addition to a list of DNS recommendations.

>I think the @signalapp apps DDoS'ed the server.

and so the chickens come home to roost. Moxies vehement rejection of a distributed design seems less and less tenable each outage. Last time it was what...verification numbers that werent getting sent?

and FWIW the divinations from the community are exceedingly helpful in a time when not even the signal website seems to confirm or deny any sort of outage. Signups are still being taken and the outage page at signal.org is still as static as ever. Even the twitter hasnt seen an update in nearly a day. Is anyone at Signal foundation at the controls?

As a signal user myself I know this is going to sound rude but at this point other than the endorsements from musk and dorsey, why would any new user consider this service at all if its been down for nearly two days? theres never any postmortem, and communication is generally evangelical or solicitous in nature for either installs or donations.
Almost no one involved was armed you utter shill. I guess BLM protests were "violent protests" because some of the people there were violent?

I sincerely hope to see this election put to a thorough legal test after the inauguration, because I'm falling short of agreement with you here.
> The most hilariously sad thing about NRA supporters is that they're either completely unaware of the Mulford Act, or completely deny how things actually went down, acting as if what was literally written into law was actually not written into law and that any document of the Mulford Act you can find online is actually a democratic hoax being propped by big tech. I've legitimately had these conversations with people. It's deeply saddening and outright fucked. They simply deny what was written into law.

Or they just throw out the “T” word and it’s all justified.

Honestly this is part of the reason I’m apprehensive about getting in the gun scene. I’d like to practice shooting and purchase a firearm for myself, but I absolutely despise spam and every store/range I’ve looked at in the past years seems to buy into this sort of nonsense.
As others mentioned gradle has a build cache. It works different to make as it doesn't take the mime timestamp of the input/output but rather creates hashes. In the early versions these caches were project local only. Later the cache was system wide. Now you can setup a gradle cache-server so the whole team can use the same cache. But this all comes of course with some restrictions. Gradle needs full control over the inputs/outputs. If another tool makes a change to an output gradle will mark this as dirty and will rebuild it from scratch. Same when you update java, gradle or plugins since gradle can't be certain that a an update of the mentioned parts would result in a different output. On paper this all makes sense. But if you start to write custom tasks which depend on each other or work on lists of input files this becomes increasingly difficult. Luckily writing tests for custom tasks is easy if one finds the documentation and muse to set this up.
Rust has a steeper learning curve initially but when you're over the hump you don't see mountains in the distance like you do in C++ :)
Its nice to see Nepal with this first winter books finally in the history books. They done so much for mountaineering.
Take the flip side of it. If you are working on the backend, you should always assume/provision for the case where there will be hostile clients. If your backend can only work if the client plays nice, I'd be weary of pointing fingers too quickly.
I couldn't agree more. I'm a slavic expat in UK. I recently raised an issue with how teachers at our kids' school are struggling with utilising technology in productive ways. I also offered taking a day off work to help them get better at things like google classroom and google docs. I was labelled rude solely by pointing out the deficiencies. It didn't really matter that I offered constructive way of resolving this. According to the brits, I was rude because I pointed out areas of improvement. WTF?
I'm kind of in a weird in-between role. Usually when crunch time happens we were well aware that the deadlines were aggressive or the feature was going to be a major PITA to implement and brought that up but executives pull ranked and basically said I don't care figure it out. We're all kind of defenseless honestly, it's just some of us are lucky enough where we're not directly responsible for creating the actual product.
Yeah it’s really nice. Xcode runs really fast. Wish it had more ports. That’s my only gripe.

Some good points! I do think that most people are not used to how science can change over time and that what most science is is just what the majority of scientists have come to conclude from their independent studies. Most people have not had to deal with greys and prefer things to be black and white.

We need a shift towards understanding that the best available information is better than nothing and that the information can change as more better information comes to light.

Another thing we need to move away from is crucifying people for getting things wrong - this just doesn't help in the long run. People are fallible and make mistakes. Granted, don't let them make to many in a row but once in a while needs to be acceptable.
One of the ideas to make this error visible is to forbid misleading indentation (section 3.5). It would be cool if the IDE can show this goof straight away..
Somewhat related, highly recommend this documentary. It really shows the untold story of how hard of a life it is for a porter in the Everest region of Nepal. This is such a great story, and very well done by Nathaniel Menninger.

Kotlin is playing it fast and loose with blurring the line between fields and bean-style properties. In Java you could have a public final field and it was obvious that it was immutable (unless referencing a mutable object). Kotlin, in an attempt to match Groovy in syntax cuteness, allows to declare a val (supposedly the equivalent of a java final field) that is actually not backed by memory at all but a getter method in disguise.

val x: Int // this is an immutable value
val y: Int // this is an immutable Function0<Int> that is executed each time and but pretends to be a val
get() = System.currentTimeMillis()

I personally don't mind heated technical debates. It's unfortunate that there's so many SJW moderators hiding in their 'Safe Spaces' who think it's their job to terminate any arguments that arise. I guess they're always "on the hunt" and trigger happy.

> COVID deniers aren't suggesting we don't take vaccines because they are unsure of the effectiveness of vaccines - they are suggesting we don't take vaccines because they are actually microchips by Bill Gates designed to track us.

That is misinformation. It is absolutely the case that people are unwilling to take the vaccine because the effectiveness (and safety) is questionable. You're just throwing up a strawman.

It's also possible you just don't know the reasoning behind any but the most vocal "covid deniers". That wouldn't be surprising, since the standard practice now seems to be to lump everyone who questions the 'official position' in with the most extreme theories, and that makes rational people shut up. Your generalization is only strengthening your echo chamber.
There is a standard protocol for USB webcams. It is called "USB video device class" and usually referred to as UVC or UVCvideo in the Linux kernel:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_video_device_class

Unfortunately not all USB webcams use it yet, but its adoption is growing. Webcams that do use UVCvideo are usually well supported by the Linux kernel. Explicit compatibility list here:

Not to downplay the mental harm discussed in the article, but the more mundane issue you touch on here is what gets to me.

With this constant demonstration of happiness / positivity, it's extremely difficult to get a real, honest read on something. Not everything you ate was incredible, not everywhere you went was perfect. In fact, 50% of them were below average! I wish more people would quit performing and give the real scoop. But that tends to only happen in pretty tight circles now. I noticed this effect even in a group chat of close friends once it grew from 5 to 8.
I normally use FreeBSD on servers, so I have little experience with desktops.

Nevertheless, a couple of years ago I have used FreeBSD also as a desktop for some time.

I have used XFCE, installed by compiling from sources, from FreeBSD ports, because that is what I use on Linux and I did not notice any problems.

The desktop experience depends a lot on what hardware you have, because of possible compatibility issues.

With an AMD Radeon GPU, I had some problems, I do not remember which. On the other hand, after installing an NVIDIA card and the NVIDIA FreeBSD driver, all worked perfectly.

My camera was a Logitech, I think a C920, and that worked OK, both video and audio on FreeBSD.
I can’t tell from the homepage, but perhaps it supports SHA256? Google Authenticator on Android (but not, weirdly, on iOS) pretends to be fine with SHA256 but then goes ahead and uses SHA1, and thus generates wrong codes.
This is good but what annoys me most about Google lately is that all searches turn out to be product searches instead of images of a thing. Just makes me trust the results less and less.
It's still a stain, just not an irrational one.

A) There are a lot of potential hiccups with trying to get a new IP:

- Some ISPs assign statically (odd, but true) meaning you will always get the same public IP

- The DHCP lease time is different for many ISPs: 5min to weeks, meaning you’d have to be offline for at least that long in order to be assigned a new IP when connecting

- Some ISPs lease it to the modem and not the router or anything internal (does not apply to what you said, but another tactic: changing the MAC address)

B) OP asked how to investigate. If getting a new IP dodges the issue and it doesn’t happen again, then there’s basically zero chance that the actual cause will be known
Perhaps it would be better to express a genuine feeling instead.

Praise implies being in a position to praise at all. Having some authority or mastery with regard to what is praised.

Often enough, I am that authority. I don’t expect praise from my clients. I’m getting payed precisely because they lack the mastery I offer.

Instead I would be happy to hear about their true feelings. Stories of gratitude, or relief, or whatever else happened in their life that I might have played a role in.
That was a good read. It's interesting that there are basically three groups that the author focuses on.

1. Smart people who have never been burned by a bad argument.
2. Smart people who have been fallen for a bad argument.
3. Average people who have been been tricked before.

The first two groups as described defer to authority, but the first tends toward extreme ideas while the second relies on institutions as a filter.

The third group is the most interesting in my opinion, tending toward ideas that "feel right". The important point here, that the author stops short of making, is that the second and third groups are very similar, just with different filtering criteria. The difference is that, with less education/training, the filtering of the third group is more easily undermined.

Which brings me back to my original point. Given that the third group comprises the vast majority of the public, governmental institutions have an exceptional burden to not erode trust. If these institutions fail at that, it opens the door for epistemic learned helplessness.

The Java languages gives you the choice of whether to use getters/setters or not. You added a good example. The main reason I love getters/setters is they are a 'hook' to add any code (like logging) if you want to detect when a variable is being read/written.
Fuck Getty Images. Fuck IP law. Fuck copyright. All that shit needs a massive refactor. I can't bear to think about how much harm has been done to software and human reality in general by lawyers and MBAs seeking to extract the maximum amount of value from things.

I'm not an investor or someone whose job is to track companies and their tech stacks (I can't list them here), but there are many, many medium and small startups that adopted Clojure not too long ago (especially in European countries). Pitch.com was founded in 2018, Clubhouse.io, Metabase in 2014; Ladder in 2015; Flexiana, Watchful.io in 2016. Mind that these are official dates when the companies were established, some took at least a year, two, or even more to get going.

Your case is anecdotal, and I bet it has little to do with Clojure itself and primarily is driven by some other factors.
There are tons of talks from various Clojure conferences on Youtube, where the speakers come from different startups.
Is anyone aware of the status of support for 802.11ac?

I really do like some of the BSD’s but I always find myself having to purchase external wireless g/n dongles when I try to use it on recent machines. I recall a while back hearing that there was an effort to support it. I’d love to help too, but by the time I’d be able to familiarize myself with the FreeBSD kernel and various 802.11 standards it’d likely be finished lol.
I was just paying a bill online.

I had loading images turned off in my browser.

So I get the checkbox captcha thing, and checking it is not enough, so I have to click on taxis, etc. Which didn't initially show because of images being off.

I eventually did turn on images for the site and reload it. But at first, I was like "wait a minute, why should I have to have images on to pay a bill?" and I clicked a bunch of things I'd never tried before to see if there was an alternative. It appears that you have to be able to do either the image captcha or some sort of auditory thing. I guess accessibility doesn't include Helen Keller, or to someone who has both images and speaker turned off (which I have done at some times).

Maybe this is hard for someone younger to understand, but when I was first using computers, many had neither high quality graphics nor audio - that was a special advanced thing called "multimedia". It feels like something is severely wrong with the world if that is now a requirement to interact and do basic stuff online.

I’m finding dokuwiki absolutely outstanding for notes and, well, all the things. I’ve avoided it for years and years because - frankly - it looks bloody awful. Then I downloaded, added a bootstrap theme, fiddled with some css, and it’s now running perfectly. I’ve got it on my Synology NAS which makes it backed up, and all my everything is now searchable using their indexing and search tools. I’ve installed a MD extension so have an exit if need be. I’ve also used some editors - Typora for example - and it’s all pretty good. Obsidian didn’t seem to like the folder structure but I didn’t try that hard, I’m guessing it could be made to work.
