For smaller and internal project, the IDE's of yesteryear required less code and had a smaller learning curve to get decent UI's (and other CRUD features). They sometimes weren't esthetic, but they were practical and got the job done. The current web stacks are bloated, and waste busy work wiring together and debugging different layers.

Whenever I point out The Productivity Gap, people say, "Oh but now you have more choice!" True, but that choice has a dear cost. At many orgs too few use apps on phones such that catering to different screen sizes is a wasted effort. Maybe some end users need phone screens, but the operators and clerks behind the data generally don't.

I believe we need CRUD-friendly web standards, and more who are willing to say "no" to bloating stacks for every what-if. YAGNI still matters. Modern web stacks shot YAGNI in the back.
When the whole conversation starts by talking about environmental externalities, you don't get to hide behind totally-not-criminals who are happy to pay the cost to avoid regulations; we are all paying the costs.
Yeah the paper I linked to above is pretty critical about the idea of late attestations of the language generally. Even seems to suggest nothing truly concrete beyond the 3rd century. So leaves it fairly ambivalent about whether there is truly Gaulish influence into Breton.

I find this stuff fascinating :-)
Just a reminder the your junior Senator (among many others[1]) mocked California and our electric grid when we were hit by record wild fires last year. He also voted against federal aid for Hurricane Sandy because it only impacted blue states.

And maybe you should look up the timeline on when your state representatives ran to fox news and tried to blame the green new deal and windmills for the outage. I am sure the national discourse would be a bit more sane if it wasn't kicked off by Texas politicians spreading 100% FUD.

You are asking everyone else to be reasonable while your own politicians viciously attack the other side and straight up lie to the American people.

> Having a Subject Name in general is common (although apparently not actually required)

It depends on what you mean by "required". A name (which a subjectName is) is a list of sets of key/value attributes; that list will always be present, but it might not have anything in it. (It might be the empty list.) (Whether you count a present, but empty, list as fulfilling the word "required", I leave up to you.)

> See also, which pointed me to no-subject.labs.vu.nl, which has a currently valid TLS certificate with no Subject Name at all.

It's there, and it's empty.

The structure is: (read "SEQUENCE" here like "struct"; a list is closer to a "SEQUENCE OF")

TBSCertificate ::= SEQUENCE {
version [0] EXPLICIT Version DEFAULT v1,
serialNumber CertificateSerialNumber,
signature AlgorithmIdentifier,
issuer Name,
validity Validity,
subject Name,
subjectPublicKeyInfo SubjectPublicKeyInfo,

If you use openssl to dump the ASN:

117:d=2 hl=2 l= 30 cons: SEQUENCE # validity
119:d=3 hl=2 l= 13 prim: UTCTIME :201017024909Z # start
134:d=3 hl=2 l= 13 prim: UTCTIME :210415215900Z # end
149:d=2 hl=2 l= 0 cons: SEQUENCE # subject
151:d=2 hl=4 l= 290 cons: SEQUENCE # subjectPublicKeyInfo

So, it's "there", and we even spend a whole 2 bytes on it.

I believe there's also some requirements on it being non-empty. The article's author is looking at it mostly from the point of view of leaf certs, and there, it can be empty. On CA certs, however, it can't be empty. (Because "Issuer" can't be empty on certs issued by the CA, and it must match the Subject of the CA cert, ergo, Subject must be non-empty there. Doesn't have to have a CN, though.)

(All of this is in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280)

(But, yeah, like the article says, using CN for checking the domain is dead.)

The human retina is composed of cells that are responsive to different wavelengths of light.
Color is the word that we use to describe the subjective sensations associated with certain patterns of stimulation of those cells.
There is no "yellowness" in a bananna. We cannot construct an instrument capable of measuring "yellow" as such. What we can measure are the intensities of wavelengths of light.

We can notice that when people say they perceive "yellow" that the spectral intensity graph has certain patterns. This is the physical phenomenon that produces the sensation of "yellow."

Humans are not good at judging reality introspectively. We experience everything heavily filtered through a variety of lenses. Our feeling that color is "concrete" is not predictive or explanatory... we cannot build mechanisms based on it. The idea that our perception of color is a result of interactions between certain wavelengths of light and certain photosensitive tissues in our eyes is both predictive and explanatory. We can design systems that have similar types of wavelength intensity sensitivity components and measure the physical response of those systems. That's how cameras work.

We can reverse the process and take those measured wavelength intensities and re-emit them from variable-wavelength light sources and produce images. That's how you're reading what I've typed right now - the images produced by the display you're looking at were generated in this fashion.

I'm not sure what you mean by the “wavelength theory” of color perception.
Vim has time-based undo which is great, but I always forget about it and need to look up how to use it the few times that I want it.

Having a slider/timeline does sound like an excellent idea. Also just being able to non-destructively go back to a previous state and have a peak without changing the files I'm working on right now would would really well for me I think.

Of course git is an answer to this, but I don't want to think about making a checkpoint.

He's not speaking against all regulation, only a specific subset of regulation, namely federal. (I apologize for being unclear: I did not mean to imply that all regulation is accepted equally, merely that nearly everyone accepts that stricter regulation at some level of government is necessary to prevent future blackouts. Many Texans would demand state-level regulation but would spurn federal). I'm not sure why he even brought it up, to be honest. It seems irrelevant to the current situation. Tougher state regulations are a foregone conclusion, and the applicable federal regulations (such as those applying to gas suppliers) are not something Texans have any influence over at this time.

As a side note, Rick Perry is pretty much irrelevant to Texans AFAICT. Perhaps that's why he's making these unsolicited, strong statements.
In Vim you can achieve something quite similar with gundo plugin. Vim tracks all your changes in a tree by default and you can also use the "earlier" and "later" commands with a time delta to go back and forward a specified amount of time. So in Vim, to see the state of the file 5 minutes ago, you type ":earlier 5m" . Gundo is a visualisation on top of the builtin undo. I'm sure Emacs has something similar and probably more powerful, but I'm not familiar with it. I'm not aware of other editors having tree undo.

> does Visa offer distributed consensus and verifiable transactions with no central trusted authority?

Ok, I’ll bite.

No, it doesn’t, but what is that actually useful for?

The best answer I can come up with is illegal activities and libertarian fantasies.

Even if one generously frames “illegal activities” in the context of financial freedom from a tyrannical regime, even that has limits.

Any regime with a banking system can implement a KYC-type of policy that will can make interacting financially with anything related to BTC difficult or impossible. Need a modern example? Look no further than online wallets (e.g., Neteller) and online poker sites after the UIGEA.

I will add that if any government views a digital coin as a threat to their fiat currency system, it will be trivially easy for them to make that currency an extremely inefficient store of value. The measures will be draconian towards coin holders, but most people (rightly or wrongly) won’t care.
It's something about the way your original was worded. I think if you had written only the first sentence, the joke would have been clearer.
Sorry, OLAP and ETL are real problems that need to be solved, SSAS and SSIS were (and still are in many cases) as good as the next tool for solving them, especially with their enterprise features like security and auditing/logging, which are almost always nonexistent in opensource / homegrown solutions.

Tools like Airflow and Druid are just now getting to where those tools were in 2005 ... unfortunately those tools haven't done much since about 2015 when Azure became the new hotness.
For anyone that uses emacs, there is an excellent plugin "undo-tree" that solves this problem in a slightly different way. Everytime you undo a series of actions and then perform a new action, it creates a branch in the "tree". You can then visualize the tree and move through it quickly your entire buffer history.
A scandal of selling backdoored crypto to foreign governments?

To be honest, I can't think of a single one.

Oh wait, the NSA backdoored that random number generator.
So, uh, ... I can think of two countries that had a scandal like that.

You could pin this Crypto AG thing on the BND, too, so that implicated Germany. From that angle I can think of three countries.

What others did you have in mind?

To answer your question: How about Iceland? Norway? Nigeria? Peru?
I'm familiar with it and the context, a mix of political and cultural.

But in France older people still call Indians 'Hindus' despite having the largest Muslim population in the world and other religious groups.

Anglo-Saxon refers to a people that ruled England when they invaded Britain in the Middle Ages, and dominated politically up to the present. The Irish, Welsh, etc in Britain, the many immigrants there and in the US and Australia, would probably find it an outdated term.

WASP is one we use in the US for something similar, referring to cultural and academic institutions and such, but I feel like it's fallen out of favor.
That’s really cool!

> You can kill yourself with alcohol and nicotine is one of _the_ most additive substances we know. Should be prohibit these as well?

I understand this is a relatively extreme viewpoint, but yes. I believe nicotine should be prohibited. I think society would be better off if alcohol was prohibited too, but I understand the historical context behind that.

Nicotine, unlike psychedelics, does not “open one’s mind” or have any long term benefits to anyone’s life like MDMA supposedly does. In fact, it seems to be one of the only drugs I can think of where everyone is constantly trying to get off of it, and literally no one is promoting it’s usage.
> But the upkeep cost of protecting the gold is continuous in the same way as bitcoin mining.

This completely misses the point, which was one of magnitude:

>> The upkeep cost for Bitcoin is, and by necessity must be, PROPORTIOANAL TO THE VALUE REPRESENTED by Bitcoin.

Also, that upkeep cost is 100.00% to protect the value of existing bitcoin.

C.f., gold:

> If you want to own some gold you need to protect it (usually with the state apparatus of violence, which has massive externalities).

I don't need continuous mining of bitcoin to protect my non-bitcoin stuff.

However, I do need the "state apparatus of violence" to protect my non-gold stuff, including things like my house and my body, and oh yeah, my fucking mining rig!

If all gold disappeared tomorrow, would anything about the "state apparatus of violence" change? No, of course not. That is absurd.
It basically depends on three things though. The CMP card supply needs to be sufficient for the miners' demand, they can't be more expensive, and the question of how much does being able to resell the cards to gamers play into the value proposition.

There's nothing special about gold, every other heavy element is also a by-product of supernovae. So, the analogy only works on a dully contrived poetic level, unless you also want to compare Bitcoin meaningfully with lead.
If no one wants to buy the old ETH, then it won't be profitable to mine, so no one will mine it. Without mining there is no security (as far as the old PoW chain is concerned.)

The proper way to do it is to use a drug that's a 5-HT2a antagonist with a stronger affinity to that receptor than the psychedelic. Trazodone or Seroquel are commonly prescribed ones that have a pretty low side effect profile and can be found at any pharmacy.

> See, you keep saying "second-hand market" when you're really referring to stolen devices.

No, i'm refering to the actual second-hand market, eg. second-hand stores and open markets, where a lot of less-privileged folks do their shopping anyway. In there, stolen hardware represents a tiny minority of the tons of devices, but it's still a reality.

Even hardware donated in good faith is sometimes locked. Sometimes, it's possible to find the original owner and have them unlock their device. Sometimes, this person who gave away an old phone to a local association, a "ressourcerie" or sold it for a very low price to a second-hand shop cannot be found again.

Sometimes, you find them but they have forgotten the code to a device they haven't used in years. When it's not an iPhone (think laptop), we just setup a new OS and the device is good to go for another few years. When it's an iPhone, we're left with a brick.

> So just stop with your crap. (...) Apple makes your "job" harder.

This kind of personal attack is not okay. You are assuming things that are entirely untrue based on my political opinions ("property is theft"). I do not sell anything, and i certainly do not steal iPhones, whether for money or for fun. i am a free-software person and i have avoided apple for years because of the reasons we are discussing in this thread. No economic incentives in it for me, i'm just criticizing Apple for being user-hostile, in a way that particularly affect the poorest people who rely on second-hand devices because they can't afford brand new ones.

Hard disagree. Pirating was easier, but even legal avenues were cheaper. Whenever a new version rolled out, you could pick up a license for the old version dirt cheap. I bought Photoshop outright for the price of 2 months of subscription, and had full access to a very usable program for years.

I see the above justification a lot from the same companies pushing this obviously more profitable model.

I'd say, Apple shouldn't and doesn't have to offer another app store because their platform doesn't suck, because of their decisions. I don't want outsiders setting the precedent that people like you are going to be telling Apple how to run their business, it works very well right now without you.
