Free markets cannot work without some oversight from the government - esp for the protection of rights of individuals against monopolies. Unfortunately the biggest consumer tech giants (Twitter, Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft etc) have turned into 1 giant monopoly (since they collude illegally, as numerous news leaks have shown).

The only way to truly protect the rights of the individual would be for the government to step in at this moment to put big tech in it's place. Unfortunately I have very little confidence that it'd actually happen. Esp since the newly elected government in the US seems firmly on the side of big tech (political contributions and what not).

Failing government intervention, I fear a technological dystopia is not too far away in the future, if not already here. The other alternative ofc would be for individuals to take back control by moving out of these platforms towards their own personal websites with custom email and RSS feeds.

I agree that the database (and things like uploaded images) can be a challenge. For WordPress we usually sync down from production, to staging, to testing, to local (while filtering out PII). For other projects is't usually easier using migrations and seeding.
Not every cancer is created equal. I helped an urologist typeset his PhD thesis about prostate cancer treatment in TeX (he used some math equations within) and he told me the same.

Some cancers are aggressive and some are slooooow. In younger patients, cancers tend to move fast and kill fast. But a slow prostate cancer in a 70 y.o. may be better left as it is, because the risks of the operation may actually be higher.

This, of course, is a difficult judgment call and belongs to the experts only.
At first I upvoted this site because I was impressed by the concept.

But then I thought about it a bit more... and I have to say that it's not really a good piece of information for beginners. When I saw that under the "shoulders" section the Overhead Press was never mentioned, I was stunned! And the deadlift form [1] is wrong. Your head shouldn't be looking straight forward, you should be looking at a slight angle down to the floor in order to keep your spine in better form. [2]

For one, beginners should begin with routines revolving around the main 4 lifts (Overhead press, Bench press, Squat, Deadlift). They should not begin by doing a fuckarounditis (yes it's a real term that's used) routine they make themselves by thinking "what muscle do I want to grow today?".

Secondly, beginners need to understand the importance of sleep, diet and protein intake. These are vital factors that aren't immediately addressed by this website.

There's already lots of good advice here about how to get into weightlifting (/r/fitness, /fit/ sticky, Starting Strength, etc.). I highly recommend you buy the book Starting Strength and read it cover to cover. It goes into detail about everything.

> I’m further confused by the purpose of `to_text()` and `from_text()`. Their example shows a string composed of mostly Latin characters being encoded into a string of emoji and back.

This is meant to be used if you want to pass some text containing escape characters or perhaps JSON. Note also that the first emoji is a checksum, which might be useful if you want to make sure a user correctly copy/pasted a string, as opposed to sending a raw text string (without checksum).
Back when Threema was founded, WhatsApp was still blasting messages in plaintext through your WiFi, where the other people sitting next to you in Starbucks could read along.

I don't ever recall WhatsApp as being privacy friendly.
Appreciate the explanation, thanks! Enjoyed the article.
My go-to example is "awful". The original meaning is literally to be full of awe. I think you would be hard-pressed to find a speaker today that adheres to that meaning over simply meaning "very bad", which is almost an antonym.

Languages change and are influenced by their use, so you need to pick your battles. If something can be unambiguously understood then you're going to be fighting an uphill battle and it's only a matter of time
Too soon to say on this current round. But it's generally considered to have been an effective strategy in dealing with Isis and Al Qaeda. But that was a combined campaign to eliminate recruitment by de-platforming, and eliminate existing membership militarily.

It's possible de-platforming these domestic groups will just further radicalize the existing members. But it should inhibit their growth.
Sounds more like a pedantic QA
Not really. They're always evil, it's just occasional their evil coincides with interfering with another evil.

Google's issue with China has never really been human rights. Google's issue with China is that it insists on access to data and algorithms, and while Google does not care about your privacy, Google cares a great deal about it's own privacy.
I don't even think politics is the biggest problem. It's that everyone is trying to out virtue signal each other. Yesterday's mob was blasting Sotomayor for mispronouncing Kamala. Thinking it was bad, I watched, and I couldn't even figure it out. Best I can figure is she put not enough emphasis in the middle? It's ridiculous.
Personally I think that could be a good thing if it allows us to once again become experimental with personal computing operating systems, an are that has stagnated significantly in the past 2 decades due in part to the fact that any new contender has to support a ludicrous amount of hardware to be usable on a wide variety of PCs.

Then again it could all go horribly wrong and leave us with nothing but highly locked-down terminals suitable only for connection to our glorious cloud masters.
Your free choice to put a substance into your body is hardly an analog to "we will fire you if you don't put this substance into your body with the specific purpose of inducing an immune reaction".

One is about "Or" statements and the other is about "And" statements.

All three logisticians needs to be "true/yes" and the first one didn't know about the two others so the logistician says "I don't know". If he didn't wanted dessert, he would have said "no".

Same thing for the second logistician.

The last logistician was able to say "yes, we would." because none of the other logistician said "no". Therefore, they all wanted dessert.
The Power of Choice
I am suggesting that intelligent populations may often die out. Evolution doesn't look ahead to avoid dead ends.
Both. Intel has really found itself in a pickle. After years of stagnation, it has serious competition from

Intel will have to hustle for 5 years at least to catch up.
Here is how they actually set the kernel for booting. It's hidden behind a `curl <url> | sh` in their post:

#!/bin/sh
bputil -d | grep "CustomerKC" | grep -v "absent"
KC=$?
if [ $KC -eq 1 ]
then
bputil -n -k -c -a -s
csrutil disable
csrutil authenticated-root disable
fi
cd /Volumes/Preboot
curl https://$LONGURL/linux.macho > linux.macho
kmutil configure-boot -c linux.macho -v /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/
echo "Kernel installed. Please reboot";

So, it looks like they download their pre-compiled kernel onto a Preboot volume. This is then set as the booting kernel? How long until there is a grub-like option?

I should add -- I don't know what most of these commands are. It would probably be helpful if they had spelled these out more, but this is all a great place to start.

bputil - Utility to precisely modify the security settings on Apple Silicon Macs.

csrutil - Configure System Integrity Protection (SIP)

kmutil - replaces kextload, kextunload, and other earlier tools for loading and managing kexts

Take 1000 men over the age of 50 and give them PSA and DRA for about 15 years. Take 1000 other men over 50 don't give them PSA nor DRA over the same time.

> About 10 out of every 1,000 men with screening, and 12 out of every 1,000 men without screening died from prostate cancer within 16 years. This means that 2 out of every 1,000 people could be saved from death from prostate cancer by early detection using PSA testing. This was not reflected in overall mortality.

Over all about 322 men died in both groups, so it doesn't seem to make much difference to all cause mortality.

However, in the group who was screened we see 155 people had a false alarm (and that includes unnecessary tissue removal), and 51 men with non-progressive cancer had unnecessary treatment (that sometimes includes impotence or incontinence).

The most important question you can ask a doctor is what happens if we don't do this?

There are different types of prostate cancer. Some are very slow growing and people tend to die with it, not of it. There are aggressive types of prostate cancer that do kill people, but these tend not to be found in time to make much difference to populations at the moment.
If Craig Wright was Satoshi, he would be able to sign a statement proving that with the keys from the genesis block. Otherwise, he's just an obvious fraud.
I don't appreciate the condescension, is it not fairly well known that shared libraries aren't typically shared at all? You can distribute software that is reusable and packaged for many machines (the ultimate sense of "shared" in my opinion) but that's difficult when it relies on distribution-specific nuances and packages.

Do you really enjoy having separate packages for the same software for each flavor of package manager that does the same thing? Wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have to use containerization to distribute the same software to machines running a kernel with a stable ABI?
Now I'm genuinely curious: I want to see the fancy features used when writing a regex for floating point numbers :)
I agree. While I understand the practicality of Docker and facilitating development using it, I wouldn't call it "forward" progress.

The fundamental problem, as you say, is that our dependency ecosystems don't meet our requirements. Docker is one way to avoid the problem without fixing it since it's easier. Forward progress would be to fix the problem.

On one hand, Docker removes some pressure to fix the problem and encourages perpetuating it. On the other hand, maybe it gets people to think about the problem more. I don't know which influence is stronger.
> The accountants will only know this after the fact

The accountants know when your debits have to be repaid, how likely they are to be repaid or refinanced by then, and what the penalty for not doing so will be. I'd argue that, in most cases, nobody employed in the development/production chain will have that information, possibly not even the CEO.
The simplest no-brainer answer to the censorship problem is for everyone to own their personal websites with custom email and RSS feeds so that friends and family can "follow" you. Nobody can censor you on your own website can they? ;)
My guess is this.

There is a lot of water ice and other volatiles (CO2, CO, CH4, NH4, ...) in comets out between the stars: if you add up all of those comets between the stars and that you can use 100% of the bulk it could be the major resource for life in the galaxy.

Close to a star you can get a lot of energy with thin-film solar cells, probably that is good at the Jupiter-Saturn distance where icy and carbonaceous bodies are the norm.

Once you get to some 1000's of AU you have to have some kind of nuclear energy and I'd imagine you could extract Deuterium from the water and do D + D fusion which is possibly workable if you build something like the ITER but a lot bigger. (D + T fusion is easier but you need somewhat rare lithium to make the T) There might be lithium out there or uranium, etc.

If somebody developed a lifestyle around comets they could hop from one comet to another and make it to the next star in 10,000 years or so. Whether it is something like an O'Neill colony or people just learn to live without gravity I think they could get comfortable and not feel like they were born into somebody else's dangerous mission.

Trouble is that the comet resources, if you can make the energy work out, are much greater than the resources you would get in solar systems. People comfortable living off comets would probably find planets like the Earth and Mars pretty boring from a commercial standpoint. (e.g. you are not going to come steal our water if you have access to generic outer solar system bodies that could be 20-80% water in bulk and small enough to disassemble.)
Websites and apps to make your 2021 better
A PSA test is easy and non-invasive and I personally wouldn't skip it. But keep in mind that it doesn't have a lot of diagnostic accuracy by itself, and the false positive rate can lead you to do things that are more invasive than necessary. Family history should be considered.

If the numbers are low, you're probably good. If the numbers are high, it isn't necessarily bad, but it could be good excuse to keep a closer eye on things. You might do additional PSA tests and look at whether it's trending up or down. A biopsy might be suggested, which is more invasive, and can be more accurate, but it also depends on where the doctor is able to collect the tissue -- if they miss the spot, a biopsy could be inconclusive or contradictory.

Finally, if you have prostate cancer and the numbers are bad and your doctor tells you that it needs treatment, the common treatment seems to be high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), which is unpleasant and invasive, but it isn't surgery, and it isn't anywhere near as damaging as radiation, and apparently it works rather well.
The real satoshi is probably Paul Le Roux, and currently in federal prison.

My machines aren't that old, and I'm fairly certain that is the case in both of them. In fact, I'm thinking about upgrading my working memory on one of them looking at the 50% indicator at my screen right now for what is only having 12 tabs open in a web browser and not doing much other heavy lifting.
Massive unemployment and the social pressures of lockdown.

In fairness, the article is quick to point out one thing - the murder rate is a neighborhood statistic, not a national statistic. No one in Alaska is impacted by murder rates in Chicago. Most of the people in Chicago are not impacted by the murder rates from the worst neighborhoods. What is the core socioeconomic issue in these neighborhoods? Systemic, hopeless poverty. I'd absolutely forgo my stimulus money if the Federal Government pledged to rebuild, from the ground up, America's most odious ghettos.
God, I expected a funny bad video, but this was beyond embarrasing.
I'm not disputing that the Church was powerful, just that there was some grand conspiracy from "encoding" it in Latin. The Vulgate came about in the 4th century simply because the people then still spoke Latin and Gutenberg himself published copies of it, etc.

I'll disagree here. While I have quibbles about the specific API used in this project, I like the idea of an imperative regex builder, especially if it can be type checked.

Every time I turn to regex, I waste time debugging which characters I forgot to escape or accidentally escaped when all the brackets and slashes blur together. I debug why some group isn't matching right because regex's semantic density makes it hard to tell where the group starts and ends. I turn to regex debuggers because they're necessary, but they're not great experiences, and at first glance I'd think a type checked regex builder could make debuggers unnecessary a lot of the time.

There's also a discoverability problem. I know non-capturing groups and negative lookbehind are a thing, but I always have to look them up because it's hard to remember the arcane syntax if I don't use them often. And my peers don't even know some of those things exist, so they struggle to solve easy problems. A library that my editor would offer autocomplete suggestions for would really help this.

I also think a regex builder would promote better organization - break the regex into parts, assign the parts to variables, and reuse portions of a regex. That's all possible with traditional regex, but I don't see folks doing it because it seems few folks know about verbose regex, building logic with string concatenation is discouraged in many situations, and if your language has a native regex data type, declining that in favor of string building feels weird. If all a regex builder did was reframe what developers feel is natural to do, that's beneficial.
The Disney Octopus
Well... I've seen discussions here where someone claims "If it compiles it works" as if that's a universal dogmatic truism for Haskell. Then people poke holes in it, and then the grownup Haskellers show up and say that no, the kids are getting a little carried away in their claims. If it compiles, certain classes of bugs are absent, but that's not the same as it works.
There is probably some truth in all men eventually getting it, but there are for sure contributing factors that increase and decrease risk. I've run across many of these by mistake in my nutritional research on nih.gov. That is a great starting place to find some of the research.

The Capitol riots are an interesting example of this dichotomy. On one hand, the riots were planned on hate filled platforms. On the other, those same platforms seem to have been a treasure trove of evidence for prosecutors.

It’s incredibly complicated and I have no idea what side I’m on now either. Hell, I don’t even know whether we can call this a win or a loss for free speech.
BCH eventually got forked into Craig Wright's and Calvin Ayre's "Bitcoin Satoshi's Vision (BSV)", which has a block size in the gigabytes, and which according to them carries the torch for Satoshi's original vision for Bitcoin.

Craig Wright is the chief scientist for BSV.

I personally think there's sufficient evidence to conclude Craig Wright isn't competent enough to have created BTC: https://craigwright.online/
Everything from the Pi 2 on are basically custom chips that Broadcom designed under contract.
From the sounds of it, the corellium guys and Marcan are being a bit more cooperative now. Also, it sounds like much of the Corellium code is going to be pushed up to the main line so there won't be 2 Linux M1 branches for long.

This hopefully means more of the efforts going into Marcan's projects can be spent on higher lever things like getting the GPU, Power management and other important bits working well.

Event-Driven Development Guide for Developers: REST vs. Messaging
We were lucky. Our first hire was a designer to both design our marketing site and our app. This designer worked for us in our last startup too and I cannot say how valuable I think a good UI/UX designer is.
What I wanted: Pi Zero W with buffered/protected GPIO (robust like an arduino) and a few analog inputs.

What we got: An Arduino clone...

I'll pass on this one.
I'm not sure I quite agree with that. Having a controlled environment in a sandbox of its own clearly has benefits, both for consistency of what you're running and for safety if it doesn't work as you expected. It doesn't need to be Docker specifically that we use to create such an environment, but if not Docker then we'd surely have looked for some other way to achieve the same result.
Looks very interesting. As a fellow startup owner, this is very useful especially when pitching to investors on your runway.
This is only true of Docker on Linux hosts.
While I love that VSCode can do this and I would like to appreciate a post about the topic, I wonder if I should upvote a blog post that adds almost no value over the existing VSCode documentation which is basically excellent already and covers every use case I ever stumbled upon.
