Personally, I'm fantasizing about building a community project that would build easy to start Hashicorp stack clusters.
On the other hand, I may have way fewer meetings than many others that might get invited to the same meetings, so I understand it can be hard to find a time where everyone is available.

I've only been to one company that had a sane meeting culture. Along with every meeting invitation there were attached documents that you were expected to read. You were expected to have notes and comments ready. The meetings mostly were not supposed to be a time where you worked vague things out.

The article started off strong, the classic ad content was pretty interesting and made it clear how much thought, consistency, and refinement was put into those classic ads.

I was expecting a call to go back to the basics, a claim that they're an ad agency that will put the same amount of effort into their campaigns that those classic ad agencies did decades ago.

Instead: We're creating a fancy clip-art gallery for company logos to be used by creators. And if you don't like their content, just force them to delete it via a simple DMCA takedown!
That's not true at all. We buy and use their oil, we supply them weapons etc. All that we need to do is to make sure that it's clear to our politician that such things matter to Americans. I'm just not sure that's the case though.
Hmmm. The stuff for HIPAA isn’t great. If this is meant to actually be of value to covered entities and business associates then NIST CSF (and related) is the benchmark to use.

There are known gaps in HIPAA per OCR. The actual expectation is that entities identify these gaps under the annual risk management mandate thus the more frequently updated NIST is what’s preferred (or even HITRUST…yuck)

Very modestly. It's better to provide simple 4 bit "hotness" probability similar to what CPUs do on their own in branch prediction and cache allocation.

Considering all the "blobby" multicore and SMT architecture, you could argue CPU has better information about registers. Just keep register format even and you'd be fine. Not too much to allocate when you have a lot of them and fast.

The general hotness would especially help with reducing execution costs in JIT compilation, where new code is generated and CPU does not have accurate prediction data.
> Literally described in one of the links.

The https://gdpr.eu/ website is not official. Its description of "analytics cookies" cannot be found anywhere in the actual GDPR & Co regulations.

> You can use a cookie for that.

Use a cookie to store the literal "No cookies" preference? Great example of the contradictory and irrational text of the GDPR.

> Text in one of the links literally contains a link to further reading on legitimate interest.

More vague and contradictory BS.

> Literally described in both links.

Too bad that description is not actually valid and if you'll actually check the GDPR text (not the non-official gdpr.eu website) you'll find no such descriptions.

Moreover, the cookie banner on both websites is actually illegal under GDPR. Check out https://ico.org.uk/ for a correct (but horrifying) implementation.

You are correct, I am not an every-day GDPR expert. I only encounter it when implementing on various websites and there only for analytics - no ads or anything more.

But its requirements were always for the worse. Because of its vague and contradictory definitions everybody (including me) adopted the safest implementation and thus the current web of cookie banners and popups was born. I hope you are happy with it, it solves nothing but it makes everybody's life worse.
You dont express uncertainity nor ask questions. You as much as you make claims about it all being (paraphrasing) "just normal harsh" or "cold German personality". Those are statements.

No one asks you to crucify anyone. Nor to pay attention to that community. If it is pit od way for you that is perfectly fine.

What I took issue with is that reflexive impulse to assume that if someone complains about bad treatment, that person much be wrong, weak or some such.

Chris: I wonder where headless WordPress will land. And by “headless” I mean only using the WordPress admin and building out the user-facing site through the WordPress REST API rather than the traditional WordPress theme structure.

Is it… big? The future of WordPress? Or relatively niche?
Unfortunately the gdpr.eu website is not official. Worse, its cookie banner is illegal under GDPR.

Check out https://ico.org.uk/ for a correct implementation. And cry...

Cookie banners ARE required for something as simple as logs analytics. That is the spirit of the GDPR and it is what makes it a broken law.

Containing momentum is a common issue for me as well. When I start learning something, I tend to become obsessive, spend 30 hours over a weekend on it, and then burn out. Once my energy evens out I often need to work on continuing momentum, but deliberately limiting my energy spent at the beginning of a new project tends to get me further long-term.

But it's incredibly more likely than if left to themselves, people will self-medicate, and not necessarily with due research beforehand.

To give an example: in my country, 56% of people have already medicated with homeopathy (a known scam for decades). Imagine if they could just buy any other medication, which unlike homeopathy, could have strong secondary effects ? Those 56% people who have "illnesses" with very benign symptoms that for most cases cures itself in a couple days without any drugs (homeopathy is used for anything, common cold, headaches, itches, you name it ...), now they're potentially taking much more dangerous meds. So it's clearly not equivalent as 56% of people definitely don't have "faint-at-the-wheel" symptoms today.

Interestingly, Monk’s own version of Caravan from “Thelonious Monk Plays Duke Ellington” was also derided by many critics (well the album as a whole, really), but it’s one of my favorite versions of that tune, and I think more people have come to appreciate that album over time.
Because the skillset and technology required for asteroid intercept is quite different to anthropogenic climate change remediation, and we can and should do both to take full advantage of the interests and aptitudes of each generation?

Fortunately we actually are doing quite a lot about asteroids, since our sky coverage of possible planet-killers is good enough to have reasonable confidence we'd get some warning. The rest is going to be a product of cheap commercial rocketry.
I haven’t seen many engineers who know the first thing about controls. But it’s literally most of what internal audit, compliance, privacy & risk people do.

The other issue is that most of these client audits are a word or excel doc. Throwing your SOC back at them doesn’t work in most cases.

The problem with this line of thinking is that first we'd have to be elsewhere to survive the initial destruction of this magnitude, which would be a huge tsunami and cloud of dust that would stay in the atmosphere for years. There are ways to build bunkers that are capable of withstanding this kind of disaster (we'd have at least a month of warning), but not yet a way to keep a biome running.

Therefore, (and considering climate change, priority) research should be focused on maintaining large scale artificial biomes for now. We'll need that for space travel and colonization anyway.
>Priorities are balanced by two factors; probability and time. And time always (?) matters more.

I remember reading a critique of conventional risk analysis about a decade ago that said some things were too big to allow to happen even if the risk of them happening by conventional analysis was too small to make the investment worthwhile.

Yes, reading the comment you comment on feels not right.

In my opinion, I'd love to have a teacher like Simon Peyton Jones. I'm sure SPJ have bad days, but he feels like a person that would actually tell me about it instead of starting to throw around mean comments to test the alpha male hierarchy.

And imagine being the kind of person that have a good day and throw around mean comments? I don't think anyone should "learn" to tolerate such a person. They can go be brilliant alone somewhere, IMHO. If it really is brilliant, we'll see the fruits of it somehow anyway.

Someone as enthusiastic as SPJ could teach me anything, I'm sure.

I've been using Tiddly Wiki for years, and can very much recommend it.

To start, all you need is a template HTML file. No installation, no nothing - it's self-hosted within the HTML! You save changes by clicking the "Save" button, which generates an HTML with changes.

If you really want, you can install a Node.js version which saves changes automatically. But you don't need it to start.

I mostly use Tiddly Wiki to keep notes at work, but I also built this with it: http://romankogan.net/adhd/

You make an excellent point: What WOULD happen if we stopped buying oil from Saudi Arabia, and slapped an 80% tariff on all Chinese made goods? Would these regimes change their ways, or begin a major pivot away from America? I’ve always been fascinated by the friendship between China and the Middle East. No pesky human rights to worry about, just the flow of oil and money is opposite directions.

You know what I miss? Ads aimed at the general audience of a magazine/newspaper/show/whatever. Ads that told you something about the sort of person who regularly enjoyed the thing they were in. Ads that were local and carried the unique culture of your town. Ads that were aimed at an audience larger than "exactly you" but at an audience smaller than "the entire country".

Now everything on the internet is a generic slurry of Content shoved through a handful of corporate pipes that do their best to strip any ads off and substitute their own. And the bidding structure means you end up getting the same ads again and again, ad nauseum. You never get that one crazy local mattress salesman doing goofy, awkward skits at 3am, you just get another fucking Grammarly ad or whatever. Or you get some horrible micro-targeted thing aimed at whatever precise demographic you've been sliced into by the immense piles of data all the tracking companies have collected, sold by someone drop-shipping junk from China behind a brand identity they spun up two weeks ago when the previous one was getting too many bad reviews.

I make comics and put 'em online. When the webcomic ad network Project Wonderful died, I just quit running ads on my comics. Patreon had come along not too long before that and made me much more money than ads ever did. I do kind of miss being able to have some ad spaces that earnt enough money to have ads for my comics regularly popping up on other comics, attracting the attention of people who were interested in reading weird indy comics online. Now the space of "comics on the web" is mostly dominated by a couple of corporate Content Pipes that want everything to fit into the Procrustean bed of one panel at a time on a phone screen and might deign to give you a part of the ads they run against your work if you get enough views.

The idea of "stock photos with product placement" sure is not making me excited. Fuck ads, and fuck the modern Internet ad world even more.

This seems like an over-protective attitude to me.

I rode my bike around the (Australian, suburban) streets from age 5, rode to school for 12 odd years, caught the train to the city and skated all over it from about age 13. My parents made a point of letting us (me and siblings) 'rough and tumble' as we grew up.

We had a lot of scrapes, don't get me wrong, but you learn a lot as a kid if you can fall over a few times. Kids are good at taking care of themselves, and each other, if you let them. Within reason, of course, but I see a lot of coddling these days and a lot of soft kids that have never been beyond the padded playground walls.

The environmental impact of Bitcoin is positive, as Bitcoin allows us to use energy sources that are too remote or inaccessible to build cables to. For instance, waterfalls in remote locations. About transparency, it is the most transparent system, as all transactions are public. This is nothing but poor excuses.

Yeah, the video says diameter of 500km and the asteroid that killed dinosaurs was estimated to be 10-15km, so in terms of mass that's a factor of (500 / 15) ^ 3 = about 37,000.
To be fair, whilst the underlying theory is pretty conceptually straightforward (as illustrated here), fully-featured/non-toy implementations, especially when it intersects with a database are somewhat more complex.
How does exploiting remote energy sources for Bitcoin have a positive environmental impact?
>"While the government did approach us for assistance on Bitcoin, this is not something the World Bank can support given the environmental and transparency shortcomings," they added.

And the BTC"s electricity source trend is quickly toward renewable.

>Mr Zelaya also said that discussions with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have been successful, saying the IMF was "not against" the implementation of Bitcoin.

Interesting.

Considering/speculating one incentive:
If the world bank were to assist in implementing bitcoin in El Salvador, their general technical & financial competence would be transparently on display. And I doubt this fact appeals to them & their backers (powerful incumbents).

Reputation & optics are extremely important to incumbent institutions that yield influence. And as such it's a dissuading from entering open competitive markets.

Long term:
Consuming less energy - which is tightly coupled with human prosperity - is futile. It's about the source of that energy.
kinda interesting, but looking at this table 2G phaseouts will basically take more time in developped nations than elsewhere. Probably a big case of how there's a lot of technological leapfrogging in developping nations cuz they tend to only have access to really cheap commodity stuff (so they end up getting stuff replaced more quickly).

Interesting. Is it using WiFi Direct or is it just a standard adhoc WiFi network? I though WiFi Direct was suppose to basically be a the open/standard transport part of Airdrop like things such that it would be seamless but frankly I have not used it enough to know.

I'm also a bit surprised QR codes can't be composed or combined. e.g have a single QR code that has a WiFi connection as the first code and then a URL code as a second. I know QR codes can increase in size to fit more data but I guess it still has to be a single string/byte array?
But now you have the ability to merge multiple maintenance windows into one. Do for example the next 4 migrations with the view trick and the 5th is everytime applying all accumulated changes to the real tables.
For a salaried position, it would be cool to have a system where you can "deposit" time by working extra one week when you're in the zone, then later "withdraw" some of that time when you need a break. Rather than "we're paying you for your results, not your time, but uhhh you still need to be here from 9-5, k?"

In practice the extra time worked above the 35 hours goes into a different counter that you typically take one or two days at a time rather than batch it along the rest. Also it's fairly rare for people to take their 5 vacation weeks in one setting, the employer still has a say and you still have to coordinate with colleagues.

So does Raku

say 3×(1÷3)
# 1

It works because `1÷3` is a rational number.

my \rat = 1÷3;

say rat.numerator; # 1
say rat.denominator; # 3

If you multiply it by 3, you get another rational number which represents 1.

my \result = 3×rat;

say result; # 1

say result.numerator; # 1
say result.denominator; # 1

---

Now that this may be slower than using floating point numbers, but it isn't that much slower. You only have two integers that you have to manage.

Actually on many older processors there wasn't built in support for floating point numbers, so it might actually have been faster to use rationals like this.

(I'm not sure if this is how APL handled it.)

---

APL happens to be one of the languages Raku copied ideas from

×/⍳10

Translated to Raku

[×] 1..10

That is rather than `×/…` it is written `[×] …`. Partly because `/` is the ASCII version of the division operator.

We could go further towards replicating it.

{
sub prefix:<⍳> (UInt \n){ 1..n }
sub infix:</> (&f, +list){
[[&f]] list
}
constant term:<×> = &infix:<×>;

say ×/⍳10;

How to Find and Hire Expert Python Developers
I disagree entirely. In most imperative programming languages, you can shove any sort of logic inside a loop, more loops, more branches, creating new objects, its all fair game.

Fold and map in functional languages are often much more restrictive in a sense. For example, with lists, you reduce down a collection [a]->a to a single object, or produce another collection with a map [a]->[a]. So map and fold etc are much more restrictive. That's what makes it clearer.
