Thank you for the support. Ah good catch! My site is hosted on vercel and I probably forgot to update the url once I got the custom domain. I will update that. That would be crazy if that was the 'cloaking' their system flagged though.
if we're talking about resource usage, we also have to factor in the energy/bandwidth in end-user devices, as well has human labor (bitcoin miners aren't hiring tens/hundreds of thousands of SWEs, for instance).
But Bitcoin can't exist without miners...
Scrollbars aren't visual noise, they are an indicator that tells you a) that there's more stuff than fits on the screen, b) where you are spatially, in relation to all that stuff, and c) how much more stuff there is, relative to what's shown on your screen. Hiding them leads to users often not figuring out that there's more stuff, and scrolling will get them there.

I'm not sure what you are implying with "too-big-to-fail" specifically? What if, even at a smaller size they manage to "distribute" responsibility enough so there is no one with actual "skin in the game" yet again?

Just thinking about that, maybe it's both? A combination of little "skin in the game" and short sighted incentives ("budget efficiencies") that lead to a "lack of imagination"?

How much electricity should miners waste to get a single bitcoin. Obviously up to the expected price of return. Ergo high BTC prices waste more energy. Bitcoin is designed to be deflationary, so....
There is a lack of interest and understanding of central banking and history of money.

Thus most of the analysis is in the framework of systems efficiency (obviously, we're tech nerds afterall).

Crypto is a breakthrough in distributed computing, but utterly under-performs in efficiency against typical computing solutions. This is because of the trade-offs made in order to create a decentralized, permissionless, censorship resistant network.
Surely that cannot be? If some relatively large set of Bitcoin related energy consumption happens in datacenters. Then how does it consume more than those datacenters?

This only works out if all non-DC bitcoin related power usage (At home mining), is higher than all non-Bitcoin related DC power usage. Are there really that many people mining at home vs. in some sort of DC?
> The fact that the attacker had access to a machine inside the corporate network is no better than the kind of access they’d have had if they’d connected to our corporate WiFi network.

I appreciate that they have a zero trust model, but arguably, once you have access to the network, you are one step closer to using any zero-day to get further inside.

It's good on CloudFlare that they had security beyond that which protected their customers, but it is still very bad for Verkada and CloudFlare needs to decide if they are okay continuing with a camera setup that can provide easy access to hackers to their corporate network or not, and that wasn't touched upon in the article unfortunately.
I have no interest in Parler, but I do wonder why they needed to have dedicated iOS developers when PWAs work fine.

I use Twitter's PWA on Android. It launches in fullscreen, with no browser chrome and the UI is identical to the app, last I saw. It's just text, images and video after all. Why should that require going through an app store and installing something on your device with a bunch of permissions granted to it?
I love dark modes for every app - but this is just bad implementation.

There's no reason dark mode should make things invisible.

Depends on your definition of "better", if you mean quicker, then sure. The Concorde was also quicker, but it was nonetheless not successful. People typically make decisions on a cost/benefit basis whenever they can, and the cost of going fast is very high ... both monetarily and otherwise.
Of course you don't have the problem because your government is currently not oppressing you and nobody is targeting you. But if that were to change I believe you'll start appreciating Bitcoin more.
I think there is a problem with the method though, if you’re selectively testing and changing the number of tests per day, then you’re going to have trouble establishing a useful positivity rate, or am I wrong? There should be some consistency.

If the results presented are hourly, daily or weekly, that’s just the resolution of said metric.

Maybe you’re arguing there isn’t much point in having higher resolution metrics than weekly but I don’t see how taking more frequent measurements matter, it doesn’t change the outcomes.

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

> Multics Emacs is an early implementation of the Emacs text editor.[1] It was written in Maclisp by Bernard Greenberg at Honeywell's Cambridge Information Systems Lab in 1978, as a successor to the original 1976 TECO implementation of Emacs and a precursor of later GNU Emacs.

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

> EINE and ZWEI are two discontinued Emacs-like text editors developed by Daniel Weinreb and Mike McMahon for Lisp machines in the 1970s and 1980s.

[snip]

> Unlike the original TECO-based Emacs, but like Multics Emacs, EINE was written in Lisp. It used Lisp Machine Lisp.

The only one you might be able to run natively now is Hemlock:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemlock_(text_editor)

> Hemlock is a free Emacs text editor for most POSIX-compliant Unix systems. It follows the tradition of the Lisp Machine editor ZWEI and the ITS/TOPS-20 implementation of Emacs, but differs from XEmacs or GNU Emacs, the most popular Emacs variants, in that it is written in Common Lisp rather than Emacs Lisp and C—although it borrows features from the later editors.

Won't detection solutions catch-up eventually? Can't they keep samples in storage and test them again years later, and at least shame the doping athletes at that time?

I suppose this isn't serving as an effective deterrent today, but it's not obvious to me why.

I have started to play around with building a software rasterizer from scratch, and I am wondering if this might be something that I could potentially leverage to cheat at some of the math problems. The document mentions CAD, but I am not sure if the performance is such that real-time (i.e. 30+fps) queries would be feasible over meaningful datasets.

Does anyone have any experience directly using SQL for this sort of thing? I feel like there is something here with being able to define a 3d scene in terms of normalized SQL tables, and then running queries over them in order to produce intermediate/final output.
I'd go further. A lot of "classical" training now basically acknowledges that "reading" just isn't that relevant for a classical musician and wastes time when most of your repertory is memorized.

Sure, you need to be able to read enough to get through to the point that you can memorize a new piece. However, you don't need to be able to read at the level of, say, a studio musician who sees new and unfamiliar music every single day.

You regulate exchanges like Coinbase and Gemini, so there are no legitimate ways to trade your proof of work cryptocurrency for USD (or your local gov backed currency).

Then the demand for the crypto currency plummets.

In 2010-2011, I traded BTC for USD in person, with a laptop on wifi. And via PayPal with someone I met on IRC, where there was a bot that kept track of your reputation so the BTC sellers would know if it was safe to sell to you.

At that time the price of 1 BTC was about $1 USD.

I think we'd see something similar, if there was an outright ban.

I suspect if this were to go into effect, that yes, after the first winter on year-round DST, public opinion about the shift will change dramatically in a negative direction.

No one has yet experienced DST in the winter, owing to the present practice of shifting to standard time over the winter months. The change in morning daylight in the winter months will be a big shocker if this is adopted.

Nowhere in the article is it stated that Parler has been "permanently" blocked.
> It seems to me that a lot of the problem is that there is currently no conservative position on social justice to counterbalance progressive positions.

On the contrary, the conservative position on actual social justice is the mainstream view of social justice. The very notion of it ultimately comes from conservative (namely catholic) social thought.

The fake ideology of Woke so-called "Social Justice(tm)" is about something entirely different, that ultimately doesn't stand up to even the most casual intellectual scrutiny.

Docker works well, two caveats.

1) MySQL doesn't have an ARM image. I moved to MariaDB. This is also in Docker docs [1].

2) My images on AWS are still amd64, and I have no way to build from my laptop now. I found this article [2], but I think it requires joining the Docker Preview program [3]. I applied a couple days ago and I'm awaiting response.

Thank you, both (disturbing) W3C draft and EFF position were an entertaining read.

What I find the most disturbing is that it's going to be way harder to opt out of this than to opt out of cookies (which is essentially a hack anyway), and also governments will take some years to regulate this approach, which is a bummer.

Let's see how it develops as far as players like Mozilla are concerned... Maybe they won't implement the spec?..

It seems that the better a plane is designed, the "luckier" it gets! Strange how that works.
The term broken means something was once whole and is no longer. There's plenty of alternatives like non native speaker, beginner speaker, etc. I'm generally extremely non PC but this one is a pet peeve of mine.

The problem with bitcoin isn't merely that it uses a ton of energy, it's that the amount of energy consumed has practically zero relationship to the utility provided by the network. Yes, Visa uses a lot of energy, it's also a global payment platform servicing hundreds of millions of transactions per day, the amount of energy used correlates with the amount of useful work provided by the network, this is not true of PoW which consumes increasingly more and more energy while facilitating the same rate of transactions. Unlike every other technology in history, when advancements in efficiency are made, bitcoin power consumption actually increases because an increase in efficiency means more miner profit if similar rates of power are consumed, except this also has the side effect of increasing mining difficulty, thus making the entire network more energy hungry overall. Bitcoin is wasteful in a manner that is unique compared to other technology.
No. I go the the comment section first and then decide if the article is read-worthy.
You Don’t Need Another Productivity App
I like it when I'm using my sidearm in tablet mode, because I get big touch targets (I learned to appreciate the ribbon in Explorer in particular).

I hate it when I'm in laptop mode, or on my desktop PC. My biggest problem is that their layout is unstable - it's context-dependent, size-dependent and seems to magically change with time from one use to another.

The second thing that annoys me is that the ribbon only shows a configurable subset of actions - which means I have no easy way to tell if the feature I'm looking for does not exist, or is just not assigned to ribbon.
> The shareholders don't set the amount of the dividends

True, the board of directors decide to pay the shareholders dividends. But in a hierarchical company to a worker, this board looks like a part of the scam. The relationship between a well paid board of directors (whom seemingly to a worker contributes nothing of value) and shareholders looks awfully convenient (one might even say conspiratory), and especially so if the board of directors are voted in by the shareholders.

> But by all means, tell us again how it looks like a scam

Sure. This whole thing looks like a stinky scam to me. And now knowing the relationship between the board of directors and shareholders of an average publicly traded company, even more so. Now it looks like a conspiracy as well.
Russian gov say that Crimea voted to be part of Russia. What do you think of that?
Sure, but we aren't making decisions in a vaccum with no consequences.

If I really like C and I ship a bunch of C code that gets exploited to build a botnet, that decision had consequences. I should have valued safety higher and the fact I didn't "like" safe alternatives was a distraction.

I agree they shine at dynamic query composition, but I find the sort of UI that necessitates this dynamism are universally terrible. They end up being data dumps that allow the user to filter and sort themselves instead of having a UI that actually understands their workflow and the data the need to accomplish it. It's like sending the user an excel file and saying "here, you can manipulate it how you want".

This is also something light weight orms or query generators handle fairly well, if not better.
There are now (historically it was more complicated) two types of Minecraft. The Java type runs on a wide variety of general purpose systems including your Windows PC. On every other platform where Minecraft is still updated it's "Bedrock Edition" which is not Java.

If you buy Minecraft from Microsoft on their Windows store thing I believe you can buy "both" together in some sense, which is a good deal, but obviously programs from the Windows store do not run on an iPad.

Although Microsoft has dipped their toes in the water and sometimes did some PR about it, you can't today mod Bedrock Edition and if you could it would always be a far more limited experience because of how Bedrock Edition works.

For Java Microsoft is doing the most essential work to make modifying it possible, as well as maintaining it, but a huge community actually takes that and runs with it. If you tried to just use what Microsoft makes available then anyone except a Java expert would probably be stuck with toy changes that barely scratch the surface of the game.

For example as a modded player it's hard for me to think about, but there's no electrical power analogue in Minecraft. The modders (not Microsoft, after all their game doesn't have electricity!) added a framework for a single unifying type of electrical power so one mod's steam turbines can power a different mod's plate pressing machine without either of them needing to spend a year designing an electrical energy system they don't really care about.
As a casual plane nerd I always checked which plane type I am on and have even made ticket decisions based on it (and have been disappointed when the airline changes the plane type last-minute!).

That being said, in my experience, airlines very rarely advertise which 'sub-type' of narrow-body you'll be flying on (at least until you've bought the ticket). Finding a flight which is definitely on an A320-neo (as opposed to ceo) for example is very difficult. I would assume that especially now airlines will do their best to hide the fact that they are flying a 737 Max.
Those seem like they could be orthogonal issues. The US system could have more rigor and be more engaging to bright students. The creativity issue could be more a function of wider society than the education system itself. Rajeev came off as a very creative person who somehow filtered out of that kind of a system.
And their instruments were telling them the truth.

"Disney+ has removed several movies, including “Dumbo,” “Peter Pan,” “The Aristocats” and “Swiss Family Robinson” from children’s profiles on its service over negative depictions and stereotypes."

Edit: further reading of the article gives details for each film. For Dumbo, it is the scene with the crows doing a minstrel show (with the leader's name being "Jim Crow"). Peter Pan has simplified/stereotypical (inaccurate) portrayal of Native people. The Siamese Cat is the issue in The Aristocats.

So they made the decision to not edit the films, but have the warning screen and remove the shows from the 7 & under profiles.
Great to see this package here. We have been using slonik for over a year now with few regrets. I am not a fan of query builders. Query builders work for simple inserts or updates. For really complex queries, nothing beats writing SQL inside of the sql template tag.

Another nice thing about slonik is that it is built on top of https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres. One gets all the benefit of node-pg with the nicer dev experience of slonik.
The pandemic, in my opinion, has revealed that a lot of the things we used to say "can't be done" could actually be done. Vaccines in a year? Check. More white collar jobs working from home? Check. Closing down a huge portion of businesses without economic armageddon? Check. I think we can handle getting rid of DST. (or just making it permanent)
The valuation of current tech companies is way astronomical compared to what is considered normal for mature companies.

The average price to sales for S&P used to be between 1.5-2.5 for many decades. However for these newly IPO companies the price to sales ratios are around 10-15.

Similarly the P/E ratio for S&P companies used to be in the 15-25 range to the considered normal .

However with these internet companies, they usually do not turn a profit or if they do, their PE ratios usually lingers in from ~100 to 1000. And the market considers that normal behavior now.

I'll tell you about the first time I started using Zapier. I wanted to move some data from google spreadsheets to some other system (I don't actually recall what it was, it was 2012). I was on a team of three devs supporting a business critical application.

The options for me were:

* bump something else to have a dev build out the integration
* pay the monthly fee to enable a non technical person to build the integration (it was on the order of $50/month).
* don't get the work done

Above and beyond the value of the UI and uptime managed by someone else, the fact that it could get done by a non programmer made the monthly fee very worth paying.

I think I've used it at 3 companies since, mostly on the free plan. But when I exceed the plan, I don't have any trouble pulling out the company's wallet to pay for it.
