Be sure to check out the related blog article at the bottom concerning DLL injection, too -- it is some severe faceplam that "c:\windows \system32\" is considered a trusted directory for auto escalation (after what I presume was `inputdir.ReplaceAll(" ", "").Equals(...)`)
The confounding factor that I find most interesting is the fact that parents were likely also home much more during this time.
Is a period of relative peace (except for the first Gulf War, the Yugoslavian conflict, etc.) and prosperity non-history? Is a time more historical the worse it feels, just like an event is more worthy of news coverage the more death or suffering it causes? What a terrible thing history must be if it is only the story of pain.
>A vacant retail building should be the landlord's problem, not the town's.

Some municipalities have a "vacancy tax" to address this. Buildings on good land shouldn't sit idle for years, that's not a good outcome for society.
Looks nice, ordered.
Looks like rc1-rc6 of kitsune20.js are all still available. Even closure-minified, might be some interesting things to find by diffing them.
That's not the case at all. Some fields remain alfalfa for long periods of time and it's a very lucrative crop.

I find the whole "don't have kids" thing sad and short-sighted. Having kids was the single greatest thing that's ever happened to me, and yes there's a CO2 footprint as a result but ultimately humans need kids to have a future. Please have children, and teach them the importance of the planet.

I know Google will occasionally bring literal personal information into your search results- for example if I search "directions home" it will show my home address in the search results. If you're frequently using Search in a location where you don't want these things to appear on your screen, I can definitely see it being useful. I know it's brought up contact information and random crap from emails up in Search before for me.
The entire universe is like a free-energy minimization machine. Everything is astonishingly optimized.
Unlikely. This board isn't suitable for mass production -- many of the parts required can only be obtained from another Amiga system.
That’s fantastic. Too bad it’s Linux only though. Is there an alternative for other systems outside of adding a delete step first?
I feel like we hit this point way before 2000. By 1994 you could buy a Pentium machine with CD-quality audio and SVGA graphics on a fast PCI bus. You could browse the web! Just 2 years later in 1996 you have 3D acceleration and sophisticated graphics APIs mainstreamed on PCs: not to mention the arrival of the Pentium Pro and MMX extensions.
No one else has mentioned this but it’s a growing use case for a few in the retro scene:

These older computers are still auditable from a security standpoint. A pre-486 machine doesn’t have binary blobs or sketchy hypervisors that run in ring -1 that are under the control of a third party.

If manufacturers ever cease to provide general purpose machines, one way for the community to bootstrap itself would be from old hardware or FPGAs (if they can be trusted).
In JS land everything is a relative import. It's nice because you can move a whole directory of code from one project to another (or around in the same project) and it still works because all the imports pointing to other files inside that directory were relative, you only have to fix imports that go outside the directory.

Also the way that JS imports are just relative paths is very nice because it means that the imports are statically determinable, your editor can understand them and fix them automatically and you can trust that refactoring. Python has turing complete imports because there's so much dynamic messing about with sys.path that goes on in Python due to inadequacies of the import system.
It should be much more harsh. If you own a building where a store should be but aren't using it as such you should be made to pay an insane tax for lowering the value of the entire shopping area.
There's even a fantastic crossover episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BN_zSDKf5k
A suburb is where people's work aren't tied to the land (agriculture, logging, etc.) And virtually all transport is done by car.

There, did it.

Sounds like your place has some nice benefits, but since you drive everywhere (you mentioned work, and stores not being in the neighborhood, so that's a safe assumption, right?), It's suburban.
While this may not be the exact video, would this[0] be a worthy substitute? I'm not in a position to view it in its entirety at this moment, but I would be interested later when there is time.

In fact it has the opposite algorithm, someone more knowledgeable might know how it works, has something to do with the ratio of downvotes to comments if I remember correctly.
There’s no reason to believe catching COVID-19 is inevitable. Consider that the best estimates about the Spanish flu of 1918 are that about a third of the world caught it before that pandemic ended. Today we have much better knowledge and hygiene, and extremely effective vaccines.

Most people in the world have not contracted COVID-19. Personal precautions are well understood and vaccine distribution is well underway.

I’m sorry that your friend contracted it. In contrast I would characterize my family’s precautions as normal, and none of us have contracted it. Two of us are now vaccinated as well.
Two big dubious assumptions that this conclusion rests upon:

> It’s important to note that the study assumes that the vehicle was registered in 2021 and will be on the road for around 18 years.

> Study authors ended up with a range of potential emissions reductions for each region by looking at the energy mix under existing policy, as well as projections from the International Energy Agency for what the future electricity mix will look like as climate policies develop.

IIRC an explicit design goal was to enable circular deps (hence why imported bindings are considered "live". It's interesting to see this works in practice though, I've never tried using them myself.

Hmm, I've been running my own SMTP server on a VPS for over a decade with very few issues.
Just look at Crosscode.

Not officially a browser game but it uses nw.js (a framework similar to Electron) and the demo is playable in a browser.

It is a full, top down action-RPG with 30-80h of content that I highly recommend. The devs made some live streams during development.
Readability, maintainability, etc. if that matters to you.
I'm not sure poor neighborhoods are built. Most construction these days is shit quality, with just a few cheap trappings making something "luxury".

Other than physical dividers like highways, I don't really think segregation is built?

One big exception is we certainly want the public housing to not be congregated in ghettos. That was another terrible NYCHA (and others) practice.
I don't know about what is it like now (with all this A/B stuff), but /system/ on Android is supposed to be read only. As was ROFS on Symbian. That said, root could modify /system/ anyway.

Incrementalism is the name of the game.

Cheaper, better devices... about an order of magnitude here. A larger user base, by more than that. A better understanding of UX paradigms. ETC.

The majority of successful products of the last generation were conceptualized and attempted during the dotcom, circa 95-00. Smartphones, social media, online dating, ecommerce, travel, cloud computing.... The user base, infrastructure, technology, culture and such just weren't there yet.

If you wrote off everything that was attempted but failed to catch fire in the 90s, you would have written off almost every tech product created since.
It’s hard to confidently assert that the cure is worse than the disease if we don’t know the long-term effects of the disease yet. (Which is why we’re discussing the Lancet article.)
they're STILL trying to make this a thing, huh?
>Since the storage media in these IoT devices would not last long if true deletions were being performed constantly, “deleted” data is often simply invalidated and moved to an unused page in the block (in a process called “wear leveling”). These invalidated pages, which still contain the data, remain present until a block fills up with them and a true deletion is initiated.

>Accessing flash memory that has been factory reset in this way does require some amount of technical skill and specialized equipment, but nothing that is a real barrier to the average enthusiast working at home.

By that logic my iPhone 11, my Android phone, my Mac or my Windows PC doesn't wipe personal content either after factory reset

Sure, technology didn't come to all parts of the world at the same time and/or was not affordable. I was born late 80s in Europe and can relate.
The problem is that Space X is a business. And while I would love to believe that they can bring about an egalitarian future in space, the main goal of any private corporation is to maximize profits. And it doesn't help alleviate my concerns that Elon is at the helm. But at this point, I don't think their progress is going to be obstructed too much so I hope that they do achieve long term goals that ultimately help humanity as a whole.
Those types typically land in the corner office in a skyscraper, or riding a dick into space. A problem few of us will have, with a simple solution.
The rabbit hole deepens…
I'm within easy walking distance of a bus stop. However, the bus goes mostly east and west, rather than north to where I work.

I could also technically walk to a convenience store or perhaps a supermarket. It doesn't take that long to walk a mile or two.

Point is though, it's clearly not rural, and it's within a recognized city, so any time people are talking about "urban" it includes this sort of setting. It doesn't matter if you think it should be classified as urban, the fact that it is, means that's where the statistics show up indirectly.

There is a distinct separation in property value between my neighborhood and surrounding suburbs with single-family housing at double or quadruple the price.

Furthermore, as a matter of geometry, any city that is more or less a roundish blob, is going to have more space near the edges than the center. So it seems plausible to me that it's more representative of a city lifestyle. The very center in several cities I've been in is almost completely commercial.
Do you have any sources for the assertion that resetting an iOS device doesn’t remove data?
Smallpox is gone and polio is almost gone.

We have the technology to completely eradicate the 2019 novel coronavirus if we have the collective will to use it.

Other coronaviruses will evolve to infect humans, yes. We’ll never eradicate infectious disease in general. But we’re talking about one specific distinctive virus here. One for which we already have multiple effective vaccines.
I’ve found that this way of phrasing it helps people click: Speed of light is infinite*. What we call speed of light is the speed of reality.

* not actually infinite, because reality itself propagates at a finite speed

(I’d love to know if this is wrong - this is my best attempt to make sense of it from college classes)
It’s the same phrase, and related, yes.
>Imagine how much less annoying e.g. syncthing UI would be!

Assuming you mean the local web app needing an self-signed certificate...

So if syncthing is reachable on a port on localhost you can just switch https off.
I'd love to be able to buy "cheap" batteries that are big, large, heavy, but cheap (per kWh). Sadly there are many startups but none are selling as of now. The only one I found ("Salt battery") was more expensive than Lithium but with less cycles...
This is just a non-clever attempt by double-vaxxed NPCs to SJW Linux over.
The coupling that I described needs to be in the software because it exists in the real world that the software is trying to describe.

However your "compile time" point is important. There is another solution, which is to implement lazy loading of those classes.

So you put your import in the method of each that needs to know the other. This breaks the circular dependency and needs more up front memory. However it can also become a maintenance issue where a forgotten import in one function is masked by a successful import in another, until something changes the call and previously working code mysteriously goes boom.

It's all tradeoffs.
User/config partitions can be encrypted and factory reset can delete the user/config encryption key. Minimizes writes to physical blocks, user data becomes unrecoverable. This is standard practice for repurposing of multi-TB hard drives.

Artificial cell based meat can't get here fast enough.

Much of the farming in the US is for animal feed. Cell based meat presumably still needs some inputs from crops but it has to be much more efficient then feeding corn and alfalfa.
No your opinion isn't weird. I agree with you in fact. But we also dont need to share every opinion always (see: "Inside" by Bo Burnham).

Obviously some people like this technology and are happy to trade the choice of using their FB account, nor does your comment contribute any discussion to this cool feature or tie it back to the privacy discussion in any meaningful way. It might be worth letting people just enjoy that news.
I was slightly early to the party but I still class myself as a Xennial because I had a Timex Sinclair when I was 6 (1981) and various other computers ever since, and I spent as much time as I could on BBSes and chat systems from about 1987 (age 12) onwards (yay 300 baud!)

At elementary school I was one of a handful of kids that used the (two) computers (Apple II and Commodore 64) to play Oregon Trail (not the fancy one, there have been versions of Oregon Trail since the 1970s) and MULE, and in junior high I was an administrator of our newly installed mac lab.

The only reason I had a social life at all outside of school and modemming was because my parents wouldn't let me use the modem before 7pm on weekends. Then I got my own phone line and my social life was pretty much exclusively with other modemmers! When I wasn't on the line, I ran my own BBS. I had a university account and an e-mail address in my early teens.

I held out a bit on the cellphone because I would have had to pay for it (but I had various handheld PCs with modems that I used with payphones and landlines wherever I could jack into them). So yeah, computers have been a part of most aspects of my daily life since I was a young child, which was lucky because I can't imagine life as an introverted, autistic child without them.
I wanted to write exactly the same comment: it is a lot less likely to be targeted. The big company leaks happen often because A LOT of resources and human hours go into trying to find flaws in their security.

Not only that, but the reward is a lot smaller for the attacker and the overall damage is smaller for the community. If attackers get into Google Analytics/Tag Manager servers they will be able to find data and sensitive information about most of the websites in the world and be able to control them. If they get into your self-hosted analytics server they would only find out your stats which can't be used for much.

There is one thing to find the name and phone number of one person and another thing to find the name and phone number of millions of people.
That's going to depend on the store and the shift.

I'm sure you understand that I gave an example that's easy to understand and I'm not trying to discuss the intricate details of being a high performing cashier.

If it's really needed I can come up with a different example, but otherwise just assume it's not a neighborhood pet store, but a very busy and successful supermarket with 35 check out registers that are always busy.

But you can just as easily swap it with an overqualified dentist assistant that provides a massive value by detecting things the dentist misses.

Or a engineer at a mine that's so damn good, that he repeatedly detects machinery failure 5 minutes before it breaks catastrophically (and some of these machines cost millions).

Or a bricklayer that lays three times faster than any other bricklayer. It doesn't matter.

The point is they are supportive roles that can't function independently of the corporation, yet will never receive a salary that's proportional to the value they provide.
You can even send a Unix socket over itself. The kernel has to be careful to handle that correctly. :)
Western civilization begins with Pythagoras (b. 570 BC) who deliberately synthesized a large number of cultural/philosophical traditions (Thracian, Syrian, Babylonian, Persian, Egyptian and Greek). In other words, from the very beginning, Western Civilization was about cross-national integration. By 200 BC, Greek was the lingua franca from India (e.g., Ashoka pillars written in Greek) to Egypt to Britain (reference on request).
Interesting concept. How does humidity affect it the oxidation/reduction process?
To be cynical, I’m not sure how fast responding and controllable rusting and un-rusting iron will be. But even so this sounds useful.
Sure, that makes a fine hypothesis. Still though, if you're right, why does Rust report 86.1% love while Python only got 66.7% ?

https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2020#technology-mo...

Maybe the Python number is smaller because those people are working right? All the Rust programmers are just working on a fun program at home, and Python is a serious language now, you're working the 9-5 with Joe Coder?

Haskell is 51.7% though. So, I guess when I wasn't looking Haskell really exploded in boring office environments and I shouldn't expect to see any more hobbyist Haskell projects everywhere... or your hypothesis was just wrong.

Maybe it's just that Rust is new and exciting, let's look at what people want to use that they don't now, surely that'll be Rust too and we'll know it's just Hype.

Huh, that chart is dominated by Python. 30% of programmers not doing Python wanted to start.
What if your self-hosted app must be accessible on the web? (eg. a blog or analytics platform)

If the team complained about their code base for _years_, I'd say the quality of the code base they started out with wasn't the only problem. Especially considering that you had the resources to write an email app from scratch.

While it's true that parts of K-9 Mail's code base are gruesome (even today), I can't remember any significant contributions from teams that have built products based on K-9 Mail.
Do iOS devices not leverage full disk encryption? In which case I’d assume simply wiping the encryption keys/fde headers would be sufficient? (Which it almost certainly does.)
That’s why my front lawn is dead dead dead but I have a small patch of green in the back. I get the psychology angle, but when we grow cheap commodity crops with irrigation water only to ship them to China where they are fed to cattle is outrageous. We tend (maybe nobly) to focus on the insignificant steps we can take (navy showers?!) personally while ignoring the politically difficult but much more impactful big steps.
Fwiw I grew up in a fairly small town in Illinois a few hours outside Chicago and though I was born in 89 I grew up without computers until I was like maybe 6 or 7? So not quite all my childhood but we didn't get internet until maybe the late 90s so to some degree this does resonate with me. I think with technological jumps like this your mileage may very a lot depending on if you're rich (we were solidly middle class) and where you lived in the US (urban versus rural) rather than it being a monolithic experience with a strict timeline.
No opinion on this paper but I'll note something related of interest:

You can see how special relativity is true by just taking Maxwell's equations seriously. They show the speed of light is the same in every reference frame.
I'm happy to go back to the office (I'm self employed now but I worked in an office before the pandemic and would go back to such a job under the right circumstances). But only with no restrictions on my behavior. If I have to check in and complete a health questionnaire every day, limit meetings to n people or not use meeting rooms, wear a mask, whatever, then I'm staying home. Don't ask people to come back until you can let them behave normally. Otherwise it defeats the purpose and just adds extra petty little bits of power to certain functions within the company. Really, a company's first step to reopening should be evaluating how they can roll back any kind of power or control that were temporarily granted to HR or other admin, compliance or security functions.
#!/usr/bin/python

This is sometimes what you want, but it will always look at this exact path, and won't play nicely with virtualenv/conda.

#!/usr/bin/env python

This works - it will use Python found in $PATH. Unfortunately you can't add any more parameters to the interpreter.

The contraption I wrote allows adding arbitrary parameters - I was burnt one too many times by Python silently buffering my debug messages, so I use it to always add "-u".
