The argument to make to the backend team is a bit nuanced but it’s this: Generally each PUT/POST sent to the backend should have atomic semantics. If there’s some user action (like uploading a CSV) that should entirely succeed or entirely fail, you want to send it in a single HTTP request. If it matters that it happens exactly once (like submitting a forum post), then adding a nonce of some sort is a good idea too - just in case the request succeeds but the response gets dropped and the user retries the action.

It’s often tempting to model URLs like database entries and send multiple requests to the server to model updating many records based on one action. That’s a mistake - have the client name the action, send one http request, and execute it in a single database transaction in the backend if you need to. This approach is way more reliable, debuggable and consistent. This sort of thing is absolutely the backend’s responsibility.

That's because those are extremely common in French.

Also why ç was moved to C, since it's much less common.

And now since you can do both of these methods, you can finally write upper case properly in French on Windows !
As with many labour-intensive crops, people want to eat it, but not do the work involved themselves.

Ah, yes. The best asparagus is hand-picked the day of consumption, and it would be ideal if picked by the people eating it. I grew up in an area that used to have asparagus fields, so asparagus grew "wild" along the fences and ditchbanks. I would occasionally help my parents cut the day's wild asparagus for dinner. I hated it as a kid, but really grew to appreciate how good fresh asparagus is when compared to what has to be mass produced and shipped, because, as you say, nobody wants to do the labor.
Using WhatsApp?
She mentions her vitals returned to normal after moving away, and presumably she took her furniture when she moved, so it seems unlikely it’s caused by that.
The context is different here though. The vulnerability as a general problem has already been disclosed and studied. Its impact to customers today is not the same as it was in 2018.
An "old" installation is a nice gateway from people who might want to 3-click install Ubuntu or Manjaro. With this move causality of arch users will skyrocket imo
This seems like the sort of place where a book like The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck would be a wise read.

Hmm, weird that Firefox just landed me on the http version by default??
Only in subjective outcomes. There was no objective outcome where an effect could be perceived.
> Ninety minutes later, kindergarten was over for Annika. For good ... Today Annika attends the Little Mud Puddles Learning Center, a private preschool, with her 3-year-old brother.

I don't understand - isn't her private preschool just another form of kindergarten? What's the difference?
I think the best way out for SCO was if IBM bought them. But, if IBM did so, other companies could try the same attack in other opportunities. So, IBM took a route that could crush it to death, but we are almost two decades after it all began and the zombie has not been shot in the head. Hope the case effectively finishes this time.

In 50 years when half the internet users will finally have access to IPv6. Or, I'm pretty sure some people, or Cloudflare, will start banning entire /32 or even bigger subnets because why not. Oh you're from Russia? Here, have a 403 for no apparent reason.
This is a very simplistic characterization of what's happening.

First of all, for all the broken websites there are also a lot of websites that are not broken at all. It's also very easy to make a broken website using a completely server-side rendered website, and that actually happens often enough.

Second, SPA's decouple frontend and backend in a very strict way, which can bring enormous organizational benefits. Time-to-market is greatly improved, etc.

This whole "frontend vs backend" dialogue is basically white noise that completely misses the point. Use SPA or not, whatever, in the end it's just a tool to get the job done. Both are prone to errors when handled improperly.

A website that got it completely right is the Dutch corona dashboard called "Coronadashboard" created by the Dutch government: https://coronadashboard.rijksoverheid.nl. It's blazingly fast, extremely well-designed, looks great and the code is of exceptional quality. Also it's open-source, have a look at the code: https://github.com/minvws/nl-covid19-data-dashboard/.

The dashboard is completely written in Javascript. I truly believe a website with of such high quality would not be possible without frameworks such as React or Next.js (or whatever other framework and their respective tooling has to offer).

Closing note: let's try learn more from the websites that got it right than the ones that have failed. It's so easy to be critical, it's much harder to give some praise.
Why are so many HN users against Facebook, and quick to reassure others that they only signed up out of necessity? FB & Instagram present a perfectly acceptable entertainment vs privacy trade off. Sure, it’s also a waste of time, but so is everything else you don’t like.

So is this breach related to reusing or having a weak password?

Or is it completely independent?
Seems like even vaccine mediated immune response takes time to ramp up and generate antibodies.

Especially from memory cells.

I don't know if that window of opportunity is sufficient for HIV to integrate into the host genome.
So this week, I have gone from having a single little USG and a massive order planned for loads of kit to stopping them automatically updating the firmware and dropping that order. Extremely annoying, but not as annoying as if this had happened in a couple of weeks.

How much can you improve the human ear? More importantly how much can you improve the speed with which you perceive with the human ear and actually understand and retain information from it? You can probably double it’s efficiency. But can you make it take in information with perfect clarify at 10x the rate? 1000x? A direct interface into the brain could hypothetically bypass the ear entirely. And there is precedent for this already: we went from pointing and grunting, to speech, to writing, to digital writing, to the web. Imagine what it might have been like for me to convey this message to you if we lived in a hunter gatherer society before human speech was a thing? Now flip that forward: what specialized tools could we use to speed up communication more? About the only things we have left are real time translation devices and an AR capable of augmenting what we are looking at with relevant labels and articles. Beyond that we have no place to improve without inventing a radically new way to interface, and in nature you either improve or you die. Nothing stands still and neither will this.
In the spirit of what I said in my 1st post, please take what the above commenter said into serious consideration!
Groklaw wasn't the same after PJ left. She moved on to bigger and better projects, I believe.
Can you please stop this? In this thread, you're creating the very problem you're complaining about. You've posted a lot of assertions across several comments in this thread. You've raised government and media boogeymen and criticized everyone's emotional response and lack of focus on science, all without a single citation of your own. You're not even discussing the article at hand, just posting a lot of both-sides rhetoric and platitudes that will be popular because everyone that reads it will think you're talking about other people.
I didn't say we should eliminate it, I said we should treat it as a problem.

If it comes down to learning speed, great, not a big problem, if a 9th grader is behind because of how K-6 is structured, fix that.
Nope. It's not really a thing in the US.
IRC was used quite extensively among NATO militaries (to the point that I've seen mIRC referred to as "Military Internet Relay Chat", lol) but they've begun migrating away from it towards XMPP solutions such as JCHAT[0] which IMHO has a very poor UX but unfortunately IRC stagnated and doesn't work on mobile devices very well.

I'm actually missing working OLE (Object Linking and Embedding). I used to like it in MS Works in the 90ies: I could insert an area from a Works spreadsheet into a Works document and have it auto-update (you could choose if it should link the data or copy it.)
> But absolutely the only benefit it brings to a taxi is reduced labor costs. So if the capital cost is so high that you can't sell an $80-$100K self-driving car to moderately wealthy people, are you really going to be able to undercut Uber drivers?

Say you can do it for $100k, and it looks wonky. That's a very small car market. But it's potentially a very large autonomous taxi market.

> I'd just point out that even Toyota uses some sort of radar for its dynamic cruise control today.

Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean "camera-only". Even low end cars have radars for collision avoidance. I meant "with cameras and front-facing RADAR, but no LIDAR / other expensive sensors".

Though-- cameras need to be good enough to perceive everything radars miss, and once they're reliable enough at that for L4, the incremental value provided by a radar may be limited.
>Is there evidence that psychosomatic effects can be so strong as to account for a measurable 10% drop in resting heart rate?

I have no clue. Maybe. Maybe not.

What doesn't pass the smell test for me is that the author fixated on what she thinks is the cause of her symptoms for non-rational, arbitrary reasons. She decided her symptoms MUST be the result of her building being built on reclaimed land. Why? Well, she got a consumer sensor that shows her something and therefore that must be it. Maybe whatever that VOC sensor is showing has NOTHING to do with anything she has.

It's reminiscent of conspiracy theory thinking, where the conspiracy theorist encounters some unknown phenomena and instead of saying "I don't know", they decide on a solution (whether that be aliens, or illuminati or living on reclaimed land) and they cherry pick and interpret evidence in a way that supports their ad hoc conclusion.
Nothing you're saying makes any sense:

1. This isn't an example of systemic risk - I suggest you look up the phrase since you keep mentioning this.

2. Lowering rent has nothing to do with mortgage agreements - I have no idea what you'd think one has anything to do with the other. And no this isn't a huge issue in NYC. Sure, you're going to have a hard time refinancing an investment property that's not yielding much in rent, but you're going to have an even harder time if it's vacant. Rent is a price - most landlords are going to try to charge what they can given the market - this generally has nothing to do with how the property is financed.

3. If the markets for rentals and buying are related, that still doesn't change the fact that buying a place to rent out is demand-neutral in aggregate. Sure, there's one less housing unit to buy, but it also takes a renter out of the market. So if the markets are intertwined, then reduced rental demand -> reduced rent -> reduced housing price. The only thing that reduces demand for housing is moving out of the city.

Plenty of metro and light metro systems use automatic operations to boot.

Even high speed rail is highly automated ( due to the fact that there's little a human can do better when at 320km/h).
The demo doesn’t look particularly beautiful. Not that it’s bad but just not what I would think based on the marketing.
Or a Walmart. Years ago, before Google Voice, I got one because I needed a local area code number for my apartment's buzzer. Mainly to see that if I could do it, I did things as anonymously as possible: bought a Tracphone at Walmart with cash. Turns out you needed an existing phone number to activate it, so I used the payphone that was outside a nearby gas station.
Gamasutra used to have some interesting postmortems. Not sure if they still do it for newer titles.
I'm sure they have plenty of information on me. I doubt that it is the primary source of spam texts, that's all I'm saying.

Many of my spam texts seem to know what state I'm in despite my area code being assigned to a different state, so I'm guessing they get them from voter records, political donations, that sort of thing.
Right but for a virus that integrates into the genome once it takes hold it's game over.

And even vaccine mediated immune responses are via memory cells and take time to ramp up to generate the antibodies to attack the virus.

So I guess my question is: Is the window of opportunity while ramping up the immune system for a vaccine big enough for HIV to take root in a body.

Does your knowledge stop at "Vaccine stop infection?" Isnt that just common knowledge?
Did the kid accidentally press Ctrl+Alt+Del together so many times that it was an issue to be addressed with a custom kernel driver? It sounds a bit like an overkill. The key combination was intentionally picked to avoid accidental presses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control-Alt-Delete#History
One of my kids was reading 500 page novels (not difficuly ones, but, like, later Harry Potter books) before 2nd grade. Another will be lucky to do that by 4th grade (which would still be “early”). The kids track themselves and there’s little school can do to speed them up. They can sure slow them down, though—our earlier reader regressed for most of kindergarten.
I don't see how complexity classes are relevant here. If we accept that simulated time can run more slowly than real time – if it can take 10 seconds of computation time to simulate 1 second of simulation time – then complexity classes have no real relevance. Time complexity classes are just about how long a computation takes, and given an arbitrary amount of time to run the simulation in, and an arbitrary simulation rate (number of real seconds per a simulated second), it can take however long it takes.

Even space complexity classes are not necessarily an issue. If the simulation runs out of storage, you can always suspend it, go provision more, and then resume it. The people in the simulation would never notice their suspension. It would only be a hard limit if some computation required more storage than could ever be provisioned, such as more bits than could fit in the observable universe. However, I doubt accurately simulating the contents of all contemporary human minds would need anywhere near that many bits.

They can see the IP address of the machine making the request, if that's what you mean.
There is a huge profit motive to enable end users to use computers as general purpose machines. The problem is that the percentage of the population using computers has increased. Now the population of computer uses has a higher percentage of users not interested in developing software. These users want a simple interface with a low learning curve. They want to get on with the job that interests them.

> Objects are not simulated if u have no direct observer

As Berkeley said, esse est percipi (to be is to be perceived)

That's one of the reasons why the simulation argument interests me. I think it may give one a reason to choose idealism over materialism. Idealism has a greater "simulation resistance" than materialism has. To a materialist, the question of whether we are living in a simulation may seem profound. An idealist can just shrug their shoulders.

A materialist has identified material reality as the most fundamental reality, and so the possibility that apparent material reality is not really the most fundamental reality does in some ways threaten the materialist worldview. For an idealist, for whom conscious minds and their experiences (qualia) are the most fundamental reality, the question of whether we are in a simulation is simply a question about whether their exist conscious minds who have the experience simulating us – and that may or may not be true, but either way it makes no difference to who or what we fundamentally are.
Awesome. Thank you for sharing that.
The difference is, given the choice between a daycare center with a little academics / "private preschool"... or having your kids watch distanced public Kindergarten offerings... the former may be academically better.
Agreed. My only gear is an EdgeRouter-4. Unlike the Mikrotik it replaced you have go up, find the latest fw file, download and install (that Mikrotik router wasn't designed to handle 1 Gbps and at the time the next step up cost more than the ER).
New 64k Conspiracy Demo released Revision 2021
The core of the article's argument is that databases accessible to non-programmers (like MS Access) died out because they conflicted with the profit motives of the companies making them. This doesn't make much sense, you'd think there would be more open source projects to accomplish the same thing. SQLite is the closest I can think of, but even that isn't super accessible to non-programmers. I think the real issue is that a spreadsheet works for most basic stuff, and the gap where a spreadsheet is not enough but it's not complicated enough to need a full RDBMS is incredibly small.

The Church would then refer them to Genesis 3:6, which led to the decision in Genesis 3:16-19, as that breach of covenant by mankind is the original cause of our continuing hardship. They'd then go ahead and cite all the additional breaches of covenant.
Yeah I'm really interested in what this is saying but it's not easy to know what it's going to say by skimming or jumping to the bottom, which is a UX bug.
I wonder if source code could be read and understood more effectively if it were paginated.
My grandmother had a fairly catastrophic stroke (she actually died shortly after due to malpractice, this was awful in the sense that it should never happen but was honestly a blessing in the sense that the result of this stroke was either a nihilist alcoholic trapped in a body that doesn't work or something even worse), witnessing that solidified my conviction that people suffering diseases that cause loss of mental function (like Alzheimer's) should have the right to legally commit suicide in a dignified manner (and the facilities to do within a legally and ethically responsible framework).

I don't know what the US law is, but in the UK at least even flying to Dignitas (for example) with someone is legally not kosher. I didn't pry but I think this situation lead to a suicide in my family also (attributing a single cause to a suicide is usually not a good idea so I won't ponder, other than that it wasn't clean or dignified.)
The YAML specification eliminated this problem in 2009, with the release of version 1.2. That spec also eliminated some other problematic problems.

The real problem is that YAML parsers in wide use have not been updated to the spec that was released TWELVE years ago.

So who's going to help the common YAML parser developers update their implementations to support version 1.2? I think that would be a big help. Maybe the Norwegian government can chip in some money & time to get them updated, that would probably quietly eliminate a number of problems.
I went to a Waldorf school for the equivalent of elementary and middle school, which gives me a different perspective on this.

Waldorf kindergartens don't have anything which resembles standard Prussian pedagogy. No desks, no assignments, none of that, and you aren't expected to read or write. It's mostly freeform play, we also learned to bake bread.

Everyone turned out fine. Rudolph Steiner has some, let's say idiosyncratic, theories of child development, but I think his basic thesis that children don't need to learn reading, writing, and maths, before their brains are ready for that information, is sound.

Kindergarten won't be to early for some children, but it will be too early for many. The ones it isn't too early for are just going to learn those things.

These kids are going to be fine, or more accurately, the damage will be from living through the global trauma, not from ordinary kindergarten being interrupted. I feel real compassion for the kids whose parents are forcing them to sit through Zoom school, though. To me it's clear this is the worst of the available options.
I still use microEmacs, which floated around the intertoobs in the 1980s. Of course, I've modified it substantially over the years, most recently adding color syntax highlighting and Unicode.

D version:

https://github.com/DigitalMars/med

C version:

https://github.com/DigitalMars/me

The "extension language" is it's so easy to just add some code and recompile it, there's no point in adding an extension language.

I like microEmacs a lot because I can use it remotely over a tty interface.
I think most kids can do this. All 3 of my kids have been able to read, write a sentence (with very bad handwriting), and understand the concept of repeated addition and multiply slowly before age 4.

It's also only very poorly correlated with better academic outcomes overall.

If you read the original post, the they noticed a breach when someone put an "unknown" VM on their server infrastructure. The attackers also got signing keys for firmware.

So even if you run a local controller, I see two very serious vectors:

1. The "Ubiquiti account signin" functionality - you probably had it off, but I'd like a confirmation that it doesn't keep a backdoor open anyway.

2. Having a malicious firmware update put on the servers. If it took months for someone to find the vulnerability, who knows how long the servers could push a compromised controller/firmware builds for the hardware.
