> Is it even possible to design a system that provides this level of security so that we can get away with near-zero additional security expertise from product designers who build on top of it?

I highly doubt it, at least not with 100% certainty. We build bridges to last and to stand weather. These are enormous constructions with large safety margins, teams designated just for security (against weather, earthquakes etc) with peoples lives on the line. Yet, we need to inspect them on the regular to make sure no assumption broke, no safety system was triggered and nothing unexpected happened.

If we can't make this work at this scale, I have no hopes that software for comparatively cheap consumer devices manages to achieve this.

More research is needed, my anecdotal experiences is that different people have wide differences in the way that they react to alpha gal.

I know someone who went into full anaphylaxis from inhaling aeroplane food on a flight, requiring both injectors, they were in their late 40s.

I know someone who was able to reintroduce cheese and that worked for them.

The variance and time to affect seems to vary depending on the person.

My ex goes and gets a test every once in a while that measures some level that they can use to tell if it's getting better or worse.

The crazy thing is that the local schools ban peanut butter but a sausage sizzle as they're called here (cooking like 50 sausages at a time for a fundraisers) are all totally OK, despite the allergy being an ongoing issue for the local area (just like in the USA, it's localised).

No, because we're pragmatic people who (generally) know to not write shit like that? No matter what pronouns (or lack of) you use in that sentence, it's still bad.

I never said "avoid pronouns at all costs", but rather that there are alternatives you can use if it makes sense.

Support still patchy ?

I work in this area (certificates mostly) and find issues every so often with various platforms having gaps in their EC stuff. That said most things can now deal with the base subset and sticking to (say) P-256 would probably be pretty trouble-free. Getting europe-wide agreement on this would likely be hard though, and european standards[0] often have stuff in that's not widely supported, like FRP256v1, which doesn't seem to be in openssl yet, or wasn't last time I looked, let alone more obscure or outdated implementations.

Simplicity.

No batteries required on the receiver, orbital mechanics and general relativity are not a concern, nor is antenna alignment. (Of course, navigation using maps and known landmarks has its own set of issues.)
I find the whole “semantically singular, grammatically plural they” thing fascinating because it brings into European languages (granted, English is a pretty unusual one) an idea that I previously only encountered during a brief foray into Japanese:

Most of the time, either the number of the noun is clear from context or you are completely fine not knowing what it is.

“They are waiting at the door for you.” Is there one of them? Is there more? Who cares, the sentence covers both!

Granted, Japanese has syntactic gadgets that enable you to add that information in a natural way in cases where you actually do care, but it’s still surprising at first how much communication works without obsessively marking every noun for number. How do Japanese, Chinese, and Korean speakers communicate without grammatical number? The same way Russian speakers communicate without grammatical definiteness, or English speakers communicate without grammatical perfectiveness, or all of them communicate without grammatical clusivity, etc.: either they mark it explicitly or—in most cases—they can perfectly well do without. It’s technically ambiguous, but only in the way every other word that isn’t marked for every grammatical category found across human languages (i.e. every single word) is ambiguous.

(In case you were wondering why speakers of Slavic languages sometimes tend to overuse “some” and “this” in English, that’s why: those are the way their native languages, lacking obligatory articles, mark nouns for definiteness when it actually matters; the overuse is what happens when you teach articles as “these weird formal words you have to use according to these weird formal rules” without telling your students that they actually bear meaning.)
This is pointless, you are just honing in on specific words and are for whatever reason unwilling to "read between the lines". The labour movement in Sweden (and other Nordic countries) was the root cause of welfare state. Workers' rights overlaps with other rights that are in the interests of the common man. These combine to create a dignified life for all. Thus better average happiness.

> Are you claiming "workers rights" are a major causal factor for (not Western Europe, but Nordic) countries happiness?

Yes, and like rings on the water organized labour creates the other ones. Why do you think even rich corporations like Amazon fight against them otherwise? Organized labour can combine their forces and make universal demands, like they did in the Nordics. Glad midsommar!
Reading further along in the forum, the `walter` thing sounds like it's only present in test code and comments.

i see how using the forward slash could have presented problems, but it doesn't seem to be a problem for other languages, so...

i guess part of what really strikes me about it is...it's a _back_slash.

like...something Bill Gates would approve of.

backslashes are not open source-y or unix-y or linux-y.

the 'history of php' shows this snippet:

<!--include /text/header.html-->

which, to me, just indicates that PHP has been comfortable with forward slashes in all sorts of contexts for a long time, it was built to resemble-ish C, etc. etc.

i thought one of the folks making the decision might have been like:

Backslash? Nah.

Everyone has their hangups -- right now, mine is:

OK, I'm gonna use Laravel. I'm gonna use the starter kits, they're free, PHP is doing fine, much better than Python actually/probably, it's prob 1,000x faster than Python, Python still doesn't know what version it wants to be and will prob never get to another version anyways, but... can I really look at those PHP backslashes?? No. No, I can't. I'm using python/django instead. ... We'll see.

I've been thinking about this for months. I figure in a few more months I'll figure out how to disqualify python/django.
I never understood this. I mean I totally get the concept, but I don't get how it came to influence policy. Put it like this: how many people are you willing to kill to make sure people don't find out they're sick? Because that's what it boils down to. And it sounds... sociopathic.
If you’re tested positive, what’s the probably that you actually have cancer?

Carbon tax causes:
1. Jobs to get shipped to countries which don’t have those carbon taxes and don’t care about environmental regulation - India, China, Pakistan
2. Those countries neither have environmental regulations, filtering systems etc, nor are they carbon neutral (like Canada) to absorb the carbon
3. Overall ends up making us worse as obviously some carbon tax isn’t going to make people not want to buy something they need. So it’s just getting passed down to the consumer.

I hope everyone once visits the 3 countries listed and visits the cities with the most industries or even the rivers where the waste from leather tanneries get dumped. Carbon is the last thing they care about.

"Preventative care" refers to the field of medicine called preventative medicine/care/health, which specifically aims at making regular checkups and other monitoring facilities free and accessible in order to improve health via early-detection.

Oftentimes, doing these sorts of things lowers your insurance premiums or makes costs lower if something does happen (not always, but sometimes). These sorts of things are also generally free as it costs the insurance company less in the long run if you're doing them frequently enough.

Perhaps a bit of a misnomer, but "preventative care" doesn't necessarily mean medicinal prevention of any sort.
Raising the temperature during a heat wave is the same as increasing the threshold where the ac unit kicks in. So instead of all these ac units clicking on to cool off houses at any temp above 70 degrees, the ac units click on at 80 degrees. That change saves a ton of energy.

Ask HN: No responses to applications despite experience and MS (data science)
I recently finished a masters in statistics and took multiple machine learning courses in the CS department along the way. I also minored in CS in college and have been "software-engineering-adjacent" for several years, having worked on stored procedures for the backend of a CRM for a couple years, and for a consulting firm doing data analysis in R and Python.

Despite all that, I never hear back from places I applied to. I'd really like to work at a FAANG (especially Microsoft), and it feels like I'll never get there. I thought that by going to grad school I'd kind of jump-start my career in that direction, and instead I'm doing work in SAS for an insurance company. Meanwhile, I'm watching friends who went to a 3 month bootcamp get jobs as data engineers (which is what I'd like to do), and folks I trained at previous jobs go on to become directors of analytics.

What am I doing wrong? I kind of think I need to go back to the drawing board, as I wonder if I'm just not an attractive candidate.

With regard to your question, it works either way so there's no particular ambiguity. But since pronouns usually go to the most recent appropriate person/group, and you had not yet referred to the OP explicitly, the "they" could refer to a subset of native speakers who find it unnatural which also happens to include the OP, or just to the OP given the broader context of the message. And either way your comment comes out meaning the same thing:

People feel what they feel and can't be wrong about what they feel (because it's feeling, not a rational thing).

I don't disagree with that in any way whatsoever. But it doesn't mean that the OP is fundamentally correct either. I find the phrase "he/she" to be awkward, ignoring whether it's inclusive or not (which it isn't). "He" is fundamentally gendered despite what many people want to believe and is even less inclusive (even if we assume only the male and female genders, it necessarily excludes half the population). Consequently, singular "they" ends up being the most natural way to express a non-gendered arbitrary person, especially given that English has an 800+ year tradition of using it in that sense.
> Half of Europe has already announced phasing out ICE-based cars in the next 10-15 years, Audi has announced they're shifting off of ICEs

Agreed, but keep in mind that electrification itself took 50-60 years to play out. It will eventually happen, but it will happen over several decades.

Let’s say 1% of ppl have cancer at any given moment -

So if we test a random person, there is a 1% * 50% = 0.5% chance that person is tested positive for cancer because they have cancer.

And a 0.99% * 0.5% = 0.5% chance that a person is tested false positive.

This means if the test shows positive for somebody, it’s about 50-50 that they actually have cancer - correct?

> They represent more work, work that you don't want to have to do, because at the end of the day these are people who already bought the game. You've gotten as much out of them as you're going to get out of them.

This is such a bad attitude. The game is supposed to work correctly without any bugs. People who paid money for the game deserve continued support. It doesn't matter how much time and money the developers have to spend, that's their problem.

If the software is defective, consumers should be entitled to a refund. That ought to motivate companies not to release shoddy work.
I get what you are saying, and that's why I am personally sticking with C++, and in the future Rust, but I can understand why many like the comfort of a simple language like Go. It has attracted many C developers who don't like the heavy abstractions that C++ and Rust offers.
Glibc is LGPL, which makes some exceptions for system libraries, which glibc would fall under. It's been a while since I've read it and IANAL, so I'm not sure what exactly would be allowed.

The bigger problem is that glibc cannot be statically linked properly. It dlopen's some libraries, like for NSS. Maybe games could avoid triggering those cases but musl is definitely better.

While syscalls themselves are backward-compatible (even for faulty behavior), I think I've read somewhere that some parts of DRI are not, but I've lost the source on that.
User defined operators frequently lead to programs that are difficult to understand, e.g. what is this '+'. When reading you will probably at first assume that it is adding two numbers, but then you also have to consider all other versions of this operator function. A function call with a good descriptive name is much clearer.
