NFS servers can remap remote UIDs to anything they want. This has been normal practice with less trusted clients for decades.

If you're dealing with unreliable networks, you probably want a remote syncing system as opposed to any rpc oriented remote filesystem. Rclone works remarkably well for that purpose.

In any case asserting that SMB is somehow preferable to any other option is insanity.
Red flags don't mean much. Building AML models is hard, and often yield an overwhelming number of false positives that arise from an over-reliance on those indicators. Sure, a positive prediction might lead to a SAR, but unfortunately that doesn't mean much either. In the majority of cases it will lead to the customer being off-boarded, in which case they'll simply go to another bank with more lacklustre controls. A SAR won't lead to a prosecution unless it sparks a new case in law enforcement (rare due to resource constraints), or whether it supports part of an ongoing case.

Sadly, that money will probably be laundered.

Lobbying and putting political pressure on local representatives is definitely a few steps above merely "getting angry". The angle that is going to make the average consumer care about R2R inevitably involves fostering righteous outrage. The enemy of enacting effective change is not anger, it's apathy.

I also don't buy that consumers are really to blame for this anymore than somebody born in a society that believes in the divine rights of kings is to blame for being a monarchist. Corporations and their friends in media and government influence or outright manufacture the overwhelming majority of the culture that is projected onto people. Is it really a surprise then that most people have internalised the precise world view and expectations of their purchases that is convenient to companies?
I haven't tried TabNine but according to its home page it doesn't support Elixir. It also requires a monthly subscription (the daily limit would be consumed in about 5-10 minutes of coding). I don't mind paying for things but at this time I'm not interested in subscribing to more services.

YCM feels more like a LSP client than buffer / project level auto-complete. AFAIK it requires you to have a language's runtime specifically installed which is a deal breaker for me. Most of my apps run in Docker and I don't have local copies of any runtimes installed.

ST4 works wonderfully in this case because it parses everything out based on syntax highlighting rules.
What Is Retail Marketing?
A retail store sells goods and services to the end-users, called customers. And retail marketing is the process of promoting awareness and interest in retail goods and services to generate sales from potential customers.

I've always found CSS infuriating to use when working with it (albeit not often). This looks like a clean and easy to follow course so will be one for me to look at over the weekend.
I took CS among others in high school but didn’t have to sacrifice foreign language for it. It uses different parts of your brain.

Honestly, my exposure to foreign languages has helped me at various points building tech where I may have made a wholly English centric view about encodings, data models, etc.

The other thing about studying foreign language is that it encourages foreign travel and teaches us about other cultures which only stand to make us more well rounded students and people.

Maybe my opinion is the minority, but I feel so positive about the benefits of language study that we try to get our kids in the 1/2 day language immersion program at their elementary each year. Apparently in my area enough people feel the same as we’ve lost out on the lottery the last two years :(

It’s easy to ignore various humanities/social studies when we are interested in learning about such different things like CS and robotics.

At university my engineering classes were in fancy new buildings but a lot of my general studies classes were in old uncomfortable buildings that would always be too hot or too cold- just adding to the misery of studying something I had no interest in.

I’m still glad for every one of those boring classes I took. I wouldn’t have known how much I absolutely loved studying Greek/Roman mythology, basic philosophy, and early North American native archeology.

Do you even realize most of the crypto research is done by the NSA, a government agency?

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

Yes, AES, SHA and so on, that's all the NSA.

If instead by "government controlled" you mean the government has a backdoor, then two things:

1. Most governments already have a backdoor in many major companies' cloud services.

2. The actual algorithm can't have a backdoor because there's no way to design it so it's "government-only". It'd be one key away from becoming every criminal's backdoor.

So as you see, everything actually makes sense there.

“Yellow LA”?
I've tried VSCode a few times hearing it was better for Elixir.
I have a strong dislike, bordering on hatred, for IDE's. I don't want a bloated environment that gets in my way with features I don't want but seemingly can't turn off. VSCode feels like an IDE to me. Back in the day I moved away from Eclipse to Sublime and built command line tools to do what I needed with building releases (Ant - does that still exist? LOL I don't do java anymore).

When you realize you want VSCode to look and feel like Sublime, and spend hours trying to tweak settings, turn things off, use Sublime keybindings, etc. why bother? Just use Sublime. Also, I like paying indie devs for their work.

That line immediately had me thinking of the movie "Speed", but funny enough, this story actually pre-dates the movie by roughly 2 years. But it does make me wonder if they had the same source of inspiration.
Relatedly, I had the same concern as the OP (not about security, but about privacy and selling my data), and I read the “security” page on your site and totally balked at how there was not one word about selling data.

I would drop that whole page, honestly. It’s written in a pretty technical way and didn’t make me feel any safer, and on top of that made me feel like you all were deflecting from the bigger and more immediate threat, data selling.
The majority of production comes from a small minority of farms with > $1MM ARR. Most are still family owned, but I would argue they are “what corporate is meant to conjure up” in the sense of the scale and methods driving the farming operation (just not the legal structure and governance.)

The greater the distance, the more the signal is attenuated, so the harder it becomes to distinguish signal from background-noise, so the slower you have to send.

'Modulate the light from our star':

Not sure how one might set about that. As things stand, we need extremely sensitive instruments to detect the starlight-modulation caused by orbiting exoplanets. A planetary-scale modulator would give you a bandwidth in the order of one bit per orbit.

Supposing we could construct a device that could modulate sunlight, it would need to be big - orders of magnitude bigger than anything humans have ever made. Our interstallar probe would have to deploy such a device on arrival, in order to 'call home'.

I suppose it's conceivable, as an idea; but the cost of such a project would be unimaginable, and the benefit would be useless information: e.g. "There is life on this planet; but you have no chance of getting here, and they have no chance of getting to you". That's not actionable information.

And you'll be getting the signal 20,000 years after launching the probe; that's the span of all of human civilisation. There's every chance that humans 20,000 years in the future would not be very interested in a signal from a probe launched by their 'primitive' ancestors. That's if they had any cultural memory from their ancestors that there ever was such a probe; but how much do we know about the culture of humans 20,000 years ago? If they had launched a probe, we would have to learn that from fossilised bones, which seems far-fetched.
I used UltraEdit a million years ago and I think it’s just a matter of familiarity. I remember being unable to go back to BBEdit when I switched back to Mac from Windows, I was so tuned in to UE’s power features.

When I tried Sublime 2 I wanted to like it but it just felt weird, so I went back to… TextMate, which probably feels weird to other (especially younger) people. But I’d been using TextMate forever and had a lot of things integrated with my shell so that was my “normal.”

I’ll give Sublime another try though: I want their business model to work, I love that they’re cross platform, and the plug-in API looks pretty nice now that I’ve done a bunch of Python work.

Definitely. I’ve got 2 different Pioneer units (DMH-W4660NEX and another I forget atm) and I’d basically recommend any of theirs. Just get the best one you can afford from their series. Even the cheaper ones are decent but obviously get even better the more you spend.

I wasn’t a fan of the JVC one we had previously though. Not very responsive and the lag made it annoying to use. The Pioneers are fast and pretty much perfect in comparison.

For most common cars you can also use the steering controls adapter kit which lets all your factory steering wheel controls for volume and answering/making calls.
People are aware of this bit it doesn't fit in the narrative for ev Akkus.

Those are not broke after 5-10 year of usage. Small cells might be broken but replaceable and if not used for cars we still can and will use them for power storage.

And then we can recycle them.

To elaborate on this, tornado.cash actually gives you a cryptographic proof of the transaction, which allows you to reveal the origin of the funds to whoever you choose. So an obvious regulatory alternative to the nuclear option would be to require to reveal the origin to the authorities upon request.

On a more general note, this is one example of how engineering solves the OPs point of criticism, but it requires some research/education.

Ofc someone could fork tornado.cash and not hand out these cryptographic proofs, but I would assume that this clone would not find consensus/acceptance with an informed general public. An informed general public will also not accept prediction markets without a consensus model that prevents paid hits (all of the ones I know [augur, gnosis] include functionality to prevent evil stuff like this), just as an informed general public will not agree to trade on a system that gives carte blanche to criminals.

I didn't know tubes, gaskets, seals, clutches, oil filters, spark plugs, fuel pumps, radiators, alternators were electronic parts.

I am not claiming EVs are perfect but to propose classical ICE vehicles are somehow much better simply does not make any sense. To exist as a modern human is to have an impact on your environment.
But they aren't talking about a philosophy of government and system of laws, they're talking about a party.

I wonder how people like that function. Like, they chose a party, and automatically agree and favour everything that party says? That's weird. If not, like if you only believe in 2-3 of their core things, but disagree with the rest, why do you still talk about party affiliation?

What happens when you have a conflicting opinion with the party? Especially considering the party in question is blatantly anti-science. Take climate change for instance. There are young Republicans that aren't braindead or brainwashed enough to think it's a sham and want it taken seriously, but they're still stuck only with the Republican party as a choice because the the main things they believe in match only with them. And then have to support the party which proudly says that climate change means no more burgers, so it's obviously stupid and wrong and God wouldn't have wanted it!

The American two-party system is fundamentally broken and fucked up. Those people need more reforms and less religious bullshit.

> The only alternative is for two increasingly polarized parties to try and impose their preferences on the other half of the country. That rubs me as very weird and anti-freedom compared to just embracing federalism.

Or, hear me out... compromise? Otherwise you'd have half the country living in a backwards, religious law-based, science denying country with lots of guns, high teen pregnancies and child abandonment and mistreatment. I don't think anyone wins besides some politicians who are too stupid to function but will get automatically elected because they happen to have the right party affiliation.

Exactly what shocked me when I heard about all the plastic rubbish shipped to Malaysia. Shocked, because I was kinda proud how much rubbish we sort (Germany) only to be put into a container and sent around the globe...

Not that I wasn't aware of all the electronic waste shipped to Africa to be burnt and scavenged. It just made me a bit more cynical. Our politicians really couldn't care less, if it wasn't for the votes.

I've used ST (2 at the time) for a long time, back when IDE's were hardly offering any help or support for web development (early 2010's), since they couldn't make heads or tails from JS applications.

I've done some other things in the meantime, some Java, some iOS development, etc. I tried Atom for a while, but it was just too sluggish. Then came VS Code, and for a good while that was the One. And to date, VS Code still gets frequent major updates and active development.

However, nowadays when I scan the changelog, 99% of it is just not relevant. They spent a ton of development time building a terminal client into it. Which I guess makes sense for the use case where it's an in-browser editor, but personally I could have done without. Other things I don't really use are debuggers, remote editing, etc. It's still snappy enough, but I don't know if it's still relevant for me.

For the past year or so, I've been using intellij as my primary editor for everything; JS and TS support are now good enough, performance is good enough, and it's a big help with Go, old PHP / JS, etc code.

But I'm still nostalgic about ST from a decade ago, how fast and frequently I would just go `subl somefile` and it would be just There. Or the time I found a todo plugin that just worked fast and intuitively. Or the joys of cmd + p to open a file quickly, or fast global find & replace (really useful if cmd+click on a function doesn't navigate to said function).

I just hope it works well with existing system and languages, e.g. using the TS language server or Gopls. I don't need it anymore as an all day working environment, but quick and dirty editing, yes please.

Anyway yeah I just bought a license.

I'm not sure of the numbers on that, but even if so, it's much easier to mandate the recycling of a product that has net value at the end of its life. Currently, lithium batteries do not. If you are waiting on a rising cost in raw materials to make it viable, then battery packs will become correspondingly even more expensive.

Edit: It might also be an effect, that recycling mandates had to be introduced, becase lead-handling mandates had dissuaded anyone from recycling them. Not that I'm aruging against lead-handling mandates, it's a pretty nasty material.
This is not a good solution for two reasons:

1) If the file was renamed and its contents changed - what should the editor do? Load the changes underneath the user? If yes: user #1 mad because now the only copy of file contents was wiped in OS, and now by the editor in what was originally a mistake. If no: user #2 mad because updating file outside of editor didn't update it within editor as they'd hoped.

2) If the file was only renamed - but renamed by mistake - to something generic or wrong: user #3 mad because original filename (which may also have been a location) is now lost.

In all cases, the optimum solution is to clearly indicate to the user that the file name or contents have changed, preserve both the contents and the filename/location, and give the user the option as to how to deal with this given their particular situation.

This should be a separate indication than that what seems to be currently offered which is to conflate user initiated changes, and OS initiated changes as the same thing. If this is the case, they are not the same thing, and this should be clearly reflected in the UI so that the user is alerted and can decide what to do.
