As the author says, “Since you expect to be be typing in a command line, moving your finger to touch the key is probably not very efficient.”

I was excited to set this up when the first fingerprint sensor macs came out. Within a couple of days I’d switched it off. It is quite inconvenient and especially bad if you use an external keyboard.

My current passphrase for work is 55 characters, so yeah, I could definitely see using this hack if I had to use sudo often.

(I'll probably shorten it soon, but it's a slightly mangled lyric from a popular song, so it's easy enough to remember.)
Especially if you have to watch the full ten minutes first.

Then again, that's what they do at movie theaters...

Which means that this is not a proper replacement.
> in Japan if you went on the dole you first had to sell your ‘luxury’ items before getting government support. It indicated you had to be in need and not supplementing or aiding poor economic decisions.

I agree with the theory, but what is a luxury? Cheap shoes are penny wise and pound foolish as i've discovered. (though some expensive brands last no longer than the cheap ones). You can't really do anything today without an internet connection - school or apply for a job, and you are expected to answer your cell phone when called, so some form of smart phone is required and if you have an iphone it isn't worth enough used to be worth selling to buy a cheaper phone...

But Flight? A rocket has no fixed or rotating wing providing lift, so maybe not.
It reads like the author is basically guessing, in the lessons learned he mentions 2FA and in the same sentence he mentions that it might not have helped ultimately. He mentions it's a speculation, he'c not the injured party. Someone else did some "forensic work" yet the link doesn't work. I feel this should have been written by the domain owner or the registar.

Couple of other issues:
"It’s important to have one face (mouth?) to represent the diligent work everyone was doing."

So they are not targeting just x86_64 like here, but also MIPS, various MCUs, iOS and even wasm itself. Yeah, that will get hairy in a hurry.
If you have a Touch ID Mac, enabling Touch ID for sudo also enables using an Apple Watch, so you can use either if you like.
A sort of reverse-Reddit, if you will (everyone reads just the title, not the article, well, in this case, OP read the article but skipped the title :-)) ).
I don’t get it, the article shows it in 2 steps why the 5 step verbosity??
I believe the comment was highlighting the advantage of a router vs a local DNS service rather than asserting the openwrt implementation has features beyond vs the pihole implementation.

The advantage is the router itself is literally routing all the traffic and thus even hostile clients (e.g. smart tv) that ignore the (dhcp provided) pihole DNS still have to pass their traffic through the router and thus it always has an opportunity to take action on the packets.

As was mentioned in a sibling comment, even with just a pihole and a non-openwrt router you can still configure your network to force all DNS traffic through the pihole but it is more config and more error prone vs the single openwrt router network.
If the UK had tried that I'm quite certain there'd have been a hot conflict over this. China could have never accepted this. At the very least the PRC would have occupied the New Territories and stopped supplies.
What the other gentlepeople are saying is that if Arnold Schwarzenegger paid VirusTotal two dollars and fifty cents, he would not have to watch porn, (See the movie 'Read Heat') or exclaim Capitalism.

You have to take your fingers off the keyboard for this which is a big distractor, worse than using a mouse.

I use this feature for other touch cases (e.g. unlocking 1Password) but would hate it when in the flow.

Admittedly my password is well wired into my fingers.
Nothing will change without strong incentive on the part of the elites. Unfortunately, it would be already deep in the catastrophe, when even them on their yachts will feel it.
> This is how mouse scroll wheels have always worked.

Yes, and touch based devices reminded us that maybe the way mouse scroll wheels had always worked was not the best way after all. Apple's defaults since Lion have been "finger moves content" on all their input methods: iDevice touch screens, touchpads, the Magic Mouse and 3rd party mouse scroll wheels. Again, you may not like it, but it's consistent. I do agree that it could be a single less-confusing setting, but the Mouse and Trackpad screens are unfortunately separate.

> switching to next tab in safari ... uses Ctrl too.

It's switching to next tab in everything, not only Safari. And the choice isn't even that weird, obviously Cmd + Tab is taken and Ctrl pairs nicely with Shift to reverse, so why not? They key is there and AFAIK Ctrl + Tab doesn't override anything important, unlike, well, Ctrl + C.
I do not agree at all that it is not useful but even if true the PR in itself is likely worth it, both for getting more attention to NASA (IE. budgeting) and for sparking ideas and dreams.
I disagree that it's not useful—I have a really long password and suck at typing, so being able to mash the fingerprint sensor is really helpful.

But yes, it is very frustrating that every time there's a system update you have to redo it.
Isn't it possible to just make assessments for the entire block? Count the population density, commercial density, foot and car traffic and base the land value tax on those indicators.

No, it's the result of traditional reactors being inextricably linked to nuclear weapons proliferation, and the huge cloud of fallout across Europe in the early 80s.

Would you be happy for Iran to build a fleet of dozens of nuclear reactors to replace its current fossil fuel consumption?

Talleyrand related a story about Bourienne, who missed out on becoming the Prefect of Police of Paris and 200,000 a year because he travelled from Hamburg in a broken down carriage and lost 24 hours reaching the city to grab the opportunity:

"It shows why one should never be a poor devil"

And this is exactly why the rich get richer: they're in a position to take opportunity and to do so in a calm, orderly fashion.

I think it’s not that bad, security wise. Your watch unlocks as soon as it leaves your wrist, and the unlock handshake uses the BT hardware to figure out how close your watch is.

I think this isn’t a great UX for other reasons I posted on this discussion. But the security is acceptable to me.
"Aristocracy"? I am fairly sure that an acquaintance is a member. He is an American of Irish descent, meaning very likely a descendant of half-starved peasants who emigrated 170 years ago. My impression is that an American gets into the Order of Malta by giving large sums of money to Catholic charities, and perhaps other Catholic causes.
> Our climate issues are in large due to overpopulation and subsequent increasing demand for resources

Industrialization, not population is to blame. Maybe we have an industrialization crisis. But it's difficult to blame that on "developing nations" so it probably won't get much press.

Then again, things like the Paris Agreement provide incentives to move polluting industry to China, so nationalist anti-Chinese media may eventually lay the blame on industrialization.

The agreement is not because of TSMC but US projection of power. By having close allies in Taiwan they effectively have a huge military presence in China's backyard. I doubt this will change any time soon.
This is why I laugh about all those articles predicting the rise of "no code" and that developer roles would be taken over by click-together apps or some AI. With devices, use cases, privacy, userbase expanding the industry can't even keep up with hordes of actual professionals working on bespoke solutions. Even as the engineering market really exploded in the 2010s.
I came to a similar conclusion earlier this year.

I previously had a lot of success audience building by chronicling a project I was actually on. My content was shared everywhere and the follower counts and attention grew quickly but organically.

Since that project finished, I fell into the trap of finding stuff to write about and share out of habit. I realised it was a waste of time at best.

Since getting back into a new project and going back to my old mode of just sharing experiences, attention and opportunities seem to be flowing again.

My takeaway is that authenticity is key for content marketing. People crave it and identify the lack of it immediately.
Oh this is interesting context.

I remember Immunity advertising about an exploit for spectre they have, and it's easy to find:

The tell is in your parenthesis' "(and I still had to take those jobs)" as that sounds like you entered into the discussion without any other options to start with, and they treated you like a beggar.

A discussion with a non-bully company looks like there is an ongoing discussion and uncertainty on both sides about whether the deal is going to close up to the very end, instead of agreeing from the outset and then having them stack new and unexpected conditions on the "agreement."

I respond to "take it or leave it," with, "I'm available to discuss options." Few people want to take responsibility for killing a deal, and especially people who use blunt tools like that. However, to do that, you need to always be open to the possibility that there isn't a fair deal to be had and by walking away you're lucky to have dodged the bullet.

People who expect to be rewarded for being overly agreeable get treated like dogs doing tricks for treats, and then they are surprised when they aren't treated with respect after. As though to say, "I've fetched, sat, rolled over, shaked a paw, and begged, what do you mean I can't eat from the dinner table?"

I've also "lost" job offers through negotiating, even ones I needed really badly and it seemed to friends or family like I was the asshole, but I've found that people who like you for your agreeableness don't really like you, they just like what you do for them and what felt like regret at the time was just doubt and now it is pride and confidence for having believed in myself. The terms I let the deals die over would have had long term negative trajectory for me and I knew I could do better if I kept looking. Where they saw a lost opportunity, I saw applying principles when it was hardest to do so and the stakes were high.

A big part of not being bullied is not incentivizing a situation where you can be bullied in the first place.

What happens when your Mac has multiple user accounts, some are admins and some are not, but all have Touch ID set up? Would that inadvertently give sudo power to users who shouldn't have it?

You know what will drastically reduce your standard of living?

Climate change.

Sure, it would be lovely to find a solution that would require no sacrifice from anyone. That is what everyone wants.

It doesn't exist.

If it did, do you think people have just been ignoring it? When it is exactly what everyone wants?

No. Sacrifice is required, to avoid an even greater sacrifice in the future. And it is time for you to step up and take responsibility, and act towards that end goal.
As far as I'm aware this is a very common practice for orgs with high seasonality. Have you worked somewhere with high traffic and high seasonality that doesn't implement code freezes around known peaks?
Unless you're building custom actions for your workflows I think you should be fine.

Generally on all the projects were I have setup GitHub actions it just installs system/project packages and executes shell commands/scripts.

So if it's down, as a developer I can just run the same commands locally.

Sure, there are a few GitHub specific things in there, but mostly for developet experience. E.g. commenting back on PR, inline CI error messages, uploading release tarballs automatically.

Any particularly memorable ones?

From my bag: A friend's husband collared me at an all-weekend outing with some crazy contraption idea of lawnmower engines & generators & other junk. It was a fairly long-winded description followed by a question of "why wouldn't this work?" My reply was simply: Because the gods are out to fuck you over. He just looked into the air and said: I can accept that. The wife (MIT educated): How come when I explain the 2nd law forbids it from working, you keep asking, but when he tells you the gods are out to fuck you over, you accept it?

Just curious, are you experiencing some kind of psychosis? You have a strangely roundabout way of explaining your counterarguments here which doesn't seem to be really answering the question at all.

Augmented Reality of course simply means integrating CGI into real footage. It is not "CGI on steroids". How would it help them fake the landing? Are you suggesting that the rover was computer generated, or the background? Why would they do either of those things when they have a real rover and real test environments on Earth they could film in?

Also why do you keep mentioning oxidation? The helicopter is powered by an electric motor, so what does oxidation have to do with it?

It's lightning fast, it's mature, every problem is solved, it still works great out of the box, and compatible with just about every web server out there.

By "mature" I mean that any question I google there is real content, and not just StackOverflow. Real web-based knowledgebases which also happen to be lightweight HTML, without JS required, and with real solutions to the problem.
The point is that not all integers over `Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER` can be represented. Some can, of course.

That 2^53 - 1 comes from the 64-Bit floating point representation JS uses for the normal number type.

(Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER + 1) === (Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER + 2)
> true

I don't think code has changed. Definitely not in the last 10 years. Sturgeon's law is much older than that :)

• Visibility and accessibility of software has increased. Repositories like npm and GitHub mean you can see anyone's weekend project. If you only got code from distros, curated repositories, that would have been a filter.

• It's a surviorship bias. Old libraries that survived must have been good enough. New half-baked libraries written today will either get polished and survive, or be forgotten.

When an integer can be reliably represented, that presumably means that JavaScript's definition of the Number type is such that it guarantees that a given integer can be represented exactly by the Number type. It doesn't mean you can safely do arbitrary integer arithmetic on it and get back another integer, also represented exactly. Trivially, there are no such values.

Every non-negative integer up to and including Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER can be represented exactly by the Number type, in any compliant JavaScript implementation. It's also true though that Number.MAX_VALUE is itself defined to be an integer. It's therefore not true to say that Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER is the greatest integer that can be exactly represented by JavaScript's Number type.

Instead, Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER is the greatest integer such that Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER can be represented precisely by the Number type, and all non-negative integers less than Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER can be represented exactly by the Number type. (See also my second edit to my earlier post.)

It seems incorrect then that the article states:

> 2^53 - 1, which is the largest number JavaScript can reliably represent with the Number primitive and represented by the Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER constant

There's discussion of the term safely represent on the MAX_SAFE_INTEGER page. [0]

Right, the better estimate of how economical transit lines are would be fares + gain in property value from the presence of the lines. (Or, to get the units right, fares/year + gain in locational rental value/year.)

Or to look at it another way: assume some genie offered to dismantle the NYC train/subway system for free. Assume you're the government and only care about maximizing revenue. Would that be a good deal? Of course not, even if the system wasn't self-sustaining from fares.

I'd be cautious about taking Shellenberger's conclusions as fact. He's not a climate scientist. His writings will basically lead to denialism rather than action and moderation [0]

For example he says to save the environment we should be producing more meat - this is in complete contrast to this 5 year Oxford University study [1].

This is a good summary (by a climate scientist) arguing against Shellenberger's claims.

After all, why should the city dweller pay for the roads being used by the upstate new yorker?
Yes, this is important. Free markets are just a tool. If there is a more effective tool then you should use that instead. I think it is particularly telling that one side is constantly engaging in corporate welfare when they talk about deregulation. The other side is exhausted from faceless corporations screwing them over. What's needed is more people who are on both sides and understand the whole picture. The idea that only one side is right is simply wrong. You need a wide variety of strategies.

There is this mindset that capitalism is always wrong when the mindset should be capitalism is not always right, which is a completely different perspective. However, I am really disappointed that people don't think about how to make the system work for themselves. Corporate abuse doesn't necessarily have to be the rule. The political environment could be shifted to favor workers instead and to a certain degree this would benefit everyone, not just one side.
