> We’re seeing a number of good questions regarding where our policies around public information, personal information, and harassment intersect. While we’re unable to comment on specific employment details, we do want to address a few of these questions, especially around what is or isn’t allowed to be posted. A few answers:

May we allow articles about an admin's personal and professional history?

Yes, articles are allowed to be posted on Reddit as long as they do not spread private information or invite harassment against others.

May we allow proper names of admins?

It depends on the context - posting of any personal information, including names, coupled with harassment of any sort may result in action by us. Some admins are public figures by virtue of their job, so those names are okay. Other employees may have chosen to explicitly link their usernames to their real life, that’s also okay. Some employees may have taken pains to not associate themselves with their specific usernames for safety reasons, in which case linking their names to their account is not ok.

Can we allow wikipedia pages if they mention the names of admins?

As long as it’s not being posted in conjunction with other rule breaking content, nor as a springboard for harassment.

If we approve this kind of content can we be banned?

We know mods make mistakes and it’s only a problem if we see it becoming a pattern. If we see that we will talk to you before further steps are taken. That said, we sometimes make mistakes too, as we did in this instance. When we do so, we will correct the situation as quickly as possible.

Nevertheless, there have been instances where mods have been removed from their positions or suspended over repeatedly ignoring site wide rules or encouraging others to break them.

Given that this person is a public figure, why is this standard in place? They ran for public office and have been covered in the media.

Our intent was never to remove any and all mentions of this admin’s name. Just an overzealous automation when attempting to prevent doxxing and harassment.

Ok, so why did you suspend the mod last night just for posting the name of an admin? (this is not a quoted question, but a sentiment we’re still seeing here so wish to address)

As we mentioned, this was an error on our part and quickly rectified with the mod team in question. We also communicated clearly with them while we were in the process of resolving this.
Any books or writings of his you would reccomend in paticular?
When you are importing a jar file (this is a java build tool) you have to specify the provenance of every dependency, and any dependency of those dependencies.

I fully support RMS being on the FSF board for life.

(I also think he would be fantastic making a cameo in a bit part in Disney's Mandalorian series, bitching about "damned proprietary code" used in imperial droids that makes them hard to reprogram but that's another topic for another message board...)
Well they had a good run and now its over.
Because in the US, when two groups or people have a disagreement and the cops show up, one group is assumed to be law-abiding by default and the other is assumed to be not. Police-initiated violence follows.

Some people like this outcome, some do not, and think it's unfair, especially when the latter group was there first/longer.
Depends. Safari will re-use a whole TLS session even if you change hosts/origins (if the IP address/port is the same).

That's just a bit too much in my book. Nevermind that it randomly breaks TLS client certificates selection, because pre-existing TLS session may have been started with a different SNI, and you don't get a chance to re-negotiate TLS session parameters based on SNI. Some websites just randomly break depending on time passed from last visiting another hostname/website served on the same multi-host/load balancer.

Hopefully someone will find a way to abuse this, so that they stop doing it. I had enough of the misdirected request 421 errors from nginx already, due to this.

The Shuttle SRB design still was dictated at least in part by the segments being transported by rail - each individual segment could be only as heavy, wide and long as the cobined stretch of railway from the factory would allow.

It influences other rockets as well - for example the Proton:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_(rocket_family)

The long thin tanks you see mounted on the first stage are not drop tanks or additional boosters, its the tanks holding the first stage fuel, with the central core holding all the oxidzer.

Thats because the core stage is limitted in width by what you can ship to Bayokonur by rail, especialy IIRC one specific rail tunnel on the route. So they ship the core stage and the additional fuel tanks on separate rail cars and then bolt them in place on the cosmodrome.

In similar manner Falcon 9 is limitted to 3.9 m of width as that is the maximum you can ship over the US highway network without special care.

If you want to go bigger, you need special aircraft and barges, or build the thing in place like it is currently being done with the SpaceX Starhip.
PDS: Let's parse this a bit better... in English (you know, like in the movie Pulp Fiction: "English, do you speak it?" <g>)

To do this, first let's get rid of the fancy, not really necessary, somewhat misleading language constructs...

Susceptor = Transducer

There!

That's better!

That's because a "susceptor" IS a transducer -- at least as far as Microwave radiation goes...

Here, for reference:

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

>"A transducer is a device that converts energy from one form to another."

Microwave = Energy, Heat = Energy, if a Susceptor converts microwave energy to heat energy, then by definition it is a transducer.

(That or Wikipedia is wrong... and we all know that that never happens...<g>)

OK, so now that we know that a Susceptor is really a Transducer, what next?

Well, here's the thing...

If you read the last line, it said that Susceptors, er, Microwave Transducers, can apparently be made with "carbon-based coatings".

Why is that interesting or important?

Well, consider the following...

If you put metal into a microwave... the metal acts as a transducer, but no so much for heat, so much as electricity, high voltage electricty! That metal will turn that microwave into high voltage electricity sooner than quick!

That's why metal objects -- should not be placed in microwave ovens...

But now, here's the thing!

Carbon (at least in its common forms, like charcoal and graphite (note we are not talking about graphene here!)) is a semiconductor.

In other words, it's sort of electrically conductive, and it sort of isn't!

It's sort of the halfway point between a non-conductor and metal!

And here we see that apparently it could be used in a microwave, to generate heat!

So now, with all of that background... I have to ask the following set of questions:

1) What's the exact relationship between heat, electricity, and microwaves?

2) How does that relationship vary by the underlying material placed in a microwave, specifically by the electrical conductivity of the underlying material?

3) Electrical transistors can be made; we know all about them; they are commonplace; but can microwave transistors, and/or heat transistors be made? And again, if so, what is their exact relationship to the underlying material?

I think I read somewhere that they have microwave transistors -- so they probably already exist. But, that doesn't invalidate the other questions...

Note To Future Self: Research this phenomena...

Also... how does/would frequency of the microwaves, as well as positioning in the microwave cavity (that is, the microwave oven) affect things?

And... can other types of transducers (sound, light, other ranges on the EM spectrum) be made for microwaves?
He was told off for asking people out. His (an autistic man keep in mind) solution was "pleasure cards", as opposed to business cards. It's a very tame innuendo which suffers from outdated language. People don't use the word "pleasure" casually today.

Here's a picture of one of said cards - how shocking:

> The GPL merely requires a license at least as permissive as it.

No, it requires a license that's at least as permissive as it AND that imposes the same obligations (i.e. source distribution, etc.) on the licensee.

Dual-licensing dependent software under the GPL and MIT only ensures that you can rip out the GPL dependency, and then use the (formerly) dependent software under MIT. The whole package is still GPL and imposes the same obligations on derivatives of the package.

Hiking! Living in D.C. is surprisingly proximal to a lot of nature outings in Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland. Getting out of my tiny apartment and out into nature absolutely makes me a happier person.
My understanding is that most digital nomads live and work from co-working spaces in beautiful tropically warm places which offer a nice balance between luxury for cheap, tourism and paradise like many places in South East Asia. I think many base themselves in cities like Singapore but the hop around Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc., so they don’t really have the issue of mobile broadband.
I don’t discount your perspective at all and it’s true that it could become the most pressing organisational bottleneck at which point I would focus all my efforts on solving it. Cloud IDEs and pair programming come to mind as a potential solution.

Being an indie dev with a pihole setup has been tough - I’ve gotta turn it off a lot for various client projects

When you get enough established paying clients, consider firewalling work gear from home gear.

My client work computers are not my personal computers. My client computers have their own router that is separate from my personal router. At one time I had my personal internet on cable, and my clients on DSL, but unfortunately that's not possible where I am now.

I get a lot of peace of mind from knowing the two are isolated from one another. The only thing they share is a desk. But when work time is done, client laptops go into the closet. Helps with the work-home balance, which is harder working from home.
I think it can be done faster, there are people specialized in such tasks: https://www.smit.com/#view/map but yes, you are right, this is not going to be 2h fix.

Cargo ship stuck in Suez Canal drew a giant dick pic before running aground
Offices make me spend 4+ extra hours a day on work with 0 benefit. That's 20 hours/week I could be spending with my wife & cats, caring for my home, developing skills and software that makes me money instead of some corporation.

That's an entire mini-lifetime I'd be giving my employer. And I don't think I ever will have to - I can force myself to be remote the rest of my working life. And that mini-lifetime is mine..and that's priceless.

I've had 1 or 2 coworkers out of hundreds I became any level of "friends" with, and the closest of whom I didn't even work directly with. Actually, one of the coworkers I'm friends with, I met in a remote team with us living across the country from each other.
Disclosure of Swiss Post e-voting system: cryptographic library open sourced
I have no idea if this is reliable info or not, and some small trips into various rabbit holes has not convinced me either way, so far.

That said: normally I side with established science but something has become blatantly clear in this pandemic: medicine is intimately tied to geopolitics. Countries and blocs are actively promoting 'their' vaccines and actively discouraging purchase of the vaccines of 'the others', the medicinal effects and needs of people are obviously subordinate. All sides are doing this.

It has dealt a serious blow to my trust in official assurances as well as recommendations regarding medicinal matters. I'm not sure if governments care too much about that but they likely should. I don't expect I'm the only one making these observations.
At the risk of being cast into your uncool categorization... it sounds like maybe you just have your own personal preferences like everyone else in the world? I'm not really seeing much of a pattern in the things you like and don't like here - sitting on your phone not socializing is uncool, and so is throwing trash on the ground and stealing shopping carts. But playing loud music that disturbs the neighbors and doing dangerous car stunts on public streets is cool.

Hey, I hope you find the like-minded community that you're looking for. But maybe consider that you could still be yourself without totally writing off everyone who isn't just like you as irredeemably uncool and telling them to pound salt?
Thanks for mentioning this. While I did install it upon seeing the news on removal, I'll go without it for now and hope for a similar project from the EFF.

Who is actually calling for permanent, "close the office" WFH for everyone? Nobody I know. It seems like a strawman. I would argue it's just as unreasonable as forcing everyone to work in the office or quit, whether they like it or not. Different people work better in different environments, and ideally WFH would stay optional.

The 'value metric' can be a seat-based license. It simply means that you price the seat based on the value it brings to the customer, not based on a cost+ (your costs plus a margin) valuation or a competitor- (your competitors price minus some amount to make you stand out).

I think you're confusing "value-based" with "metered". There's another model which is a hybrid model, not strictly metered, but not strictly seat based. An "hourly package" like gitlab-runner minutes is an example. The trick is that you can incentivize usage by giving them leeway to exceed their per-seat cap without penalty (to a certain degree--which signals to you that they've outgrown their current plan), in fact you want them to, but not to the point where you take a loss. If they're seeing the value in the service enough to push the limits of their plan then they just need some time to internalize that value. You can then approach them about upgrading to a better fit package. You can also provide what are considered 'demand drivers' for 'free'. These are features that increases the value of the original service and actually drive increased demand as well.
I sort of got the impression it was static as a kid as that's how all the books were written. I think its changing nature is a relatively recent discovery. I remember a lot of debate as to whether a meteor could have done for the dinosaurs because people were skeptical that sort of stuff happened but it turns out chunks of rock smashing into planets is quite common and basically how they got here. I also got the impression Earth was more unchanging than it is. It was a surprise to find you could walk from England to France 10,000 years ago or so.
Perl is great because it makes text processing and CLI tool development really stupid simple. The language was built for that sort of thing.

Perl suffers for the same reason. It's early prioritization of text manipulation makes it not great at general purpose programming.
Few things here:

1. Note taking apps are easy to build.

2. Note taking apps are something many of us want and take pretty seriously (you say you find a deal breaker in a workflow as basic as note taking, which seems to indicate this is something you take quite seriously).

3. We have a desire to tweak our setup for whatever reason. Whether it's "if I can solve this one problem everything else will fall into place" syndrome, motivation, solving an actual problem or simply to avoid real work, productivity porn creates clicks.

So yeah, I'm pretty tired of it, but I don't think fatigue has yet set it because it scratches and itch in many people.

> If they were reasonable people and considerate of others they wouldn't be doing that in the first place.

Respectfully, you're probably giving yourself too much credit here (and your neighbors not enough). It's almost certainly the case that you (and me and everybody else reading this) has done something that annoyed a neighbor. You either just didn't realize it or you were tired or stressed and slipped up. But the odds are exceedingly good for any of us that we've had our music too loud, or our stomping was bothering the people downstairs, or we parked somewhere that annoyed somebody else.

If you'd react reasonably when called out for any of these behaviors, then give your fellow man the benefit of that doubt.
If you are trying to publish your package for other people to download through the `pip` package manager, then yeah.

Most python devs will probably never publish to PyPi, but this can save some headaches for those who do, especially for the first time.

Nice yeah that's a good way. Generally the number 1 million is so small I see no reason to do this in any manner other than shell commands.
USB doesn’t have error correction. It has a simple CRC and retransmit behavior, which buys a few orders of magnitude on the BER, but is a far-cry from something like FEC. Typically you would want a higher layer to do error detection and correction for USB devices.

The quality of the PHYs and media matter greatly. If you’re not using the cheapest PHYs, aren’t in a noisy environment (ie many USB devices connected to the same controller), and have high quality cables/connectors (that are also short and far away from crosstalk aggressors), then you may never see errors.

Something working well in a cozy scenario doesn’t make it a good solution. I could run an out of spec 2 meter cheap SATA cable in a bundle and never see errors. What matters is BER margins at real world scenarios. USB should be implementing more aggressive error correction at layer 1 for what they’re doing. It shouldn’t be the job of higher layers to handle signal integrity issues.

As explained in the abstract of the paper I linked above, 8½, the Plan 9 window system, has supported 2-D acceleration since at least 01992. I also mentioned this in my comment, which additionally outlines how this acceleration support works across networks.
There's a lot of truth in this. For large organizations though having a multi-cloud strategy from the start is a smart thing to do. We got hit pretty hard from the AWS outages last fall, so our previous 'all in on AWS' approach has been replaced with 'mostly AWS but let's look at GCP and Azure'. We spend millions per month in AWS and the incident last fall broke trust.
Unfortunate but I was surprised Apple looked like they where changing it at all since it would lessen security allowing some common attack vectors.

I haven't followed it for some time however, it does look like V8 supports a JITless mode now which allows it to possibly be used on iOS and other platforms with NX set, albeit with significant performance loss:

https://v8.dev/blog/jitless

Looks like JavaScriptCore still disables JIT when run in a non entitled app. Always thought they might figure out a way to at least let their own JS engine JIT since its trusted in Safari on the open web, but I believe its an all or nothing thing for the process/app and not per module thing.
> you may still have to pay damages

This is probably a first time I've seen damages mentioned in relation to GPL violations. Did anyone try enforce this?
