One thing I've been confused about, from the time I've visited friends and (briefly) lived in big box condo / apartment buildings... why aren't there more community spaces?

And no, I don't mean "the pool" or "the weight room." I mean actual lounge areas. Social areas. Hell, even Marriott's Residence Inns do a better job than your average building.

You could in theory (but this is like putting plasters on a colander) relocate some of the MIME meta data (Subject:, To:, From:) to the email body and then encrypt it.

So basically obfuscate the MIME headers and use some kind of guid@domain type addresses for the MTA routing.

The insect apocalypse: ‘Our world will grind to a halt without them’
At least on paper the Japanese sXGP standard is close to what you want, it’s reportedly just TD-LTE Band 39 and equipments are licensed the same way as Wi-Fi APs and dongles are.

Maybe if there’s enough demand for workplace private phone network, such laws could be passed to run 5G or 4G as Wi-Fi alternatives.
‘Many forms of secure messaging systems have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that Signal is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that Signal is the worst messaging except for all those other forms that have been developed from time to time…’

Winston S Churchill, 11 November 1947
A few months ago on my usual round I (6'3", 103kg) by chance teamed up with a much smaller woman. I felt the draft effet even when I was behind her rather small statue, and it was a fun and quick ride. Then came a bus of five riders working even better then we did and they went by at an incredible speed. Since then I humbly accept that breakouts winning a race is rare.
Kids don’t collect butterflies so much anymore because (a) most people live in more urbanized places than 50+ years ago and kids spend more time indoors or in structured activities, and (b) there are a lot fewer butterflies around, as they die to insecticides, habitat loss, and climate change.

Edit: A web search turns up that butterfly populations have declined by more than 30% in Europe/USA in the past 25 years or so, and were in decline for long before that. One estimate is that they have declined by more than 80% in Western Europe since the late 19th century, with many species disappearing entirely.
How can an unencrypted copy of some media end up at the wrong user? Isn't that supposed to be end-to-end encrypted, especially when stored on the signal servers?

I think you mean “meteor”.
* Intentional destruction of currency tenders is a criminal offense in most countries. There is nothing worthy of hero-worship here.

* The guy leeches off the goodwill of others. He doesn't internalize that the amenities offered to him as charity, are being bought with someone's money. Food & coffee doesn't grow on trees. Heaters in winters don't work on magic spells. He doesn't spend his money. It is someone else's. Public money mostly, and the charity of sympathetic Samaritans

The glamorous-pious/moral-homeless trope is BS. If he wants to do better, then live in one of the BC forests. Into the wild, all the way in. Seriously, if you take out these nutcase views/agenda, he is no different from garden variety homeless. Most people I have seen are destitute by their bad luck or lack of opportunity & education. This guy is a wreck by his parasitic fetishes.
It is realy easy to look down on people for all kinds of reasons. It is much harder to empathize with the challenges and point of views that are alien to your perspective.

Our society needs more people willing to take on that challenge instead of allowing their own insecurities to drive them into contempt.

Without telemetry, can you actually back up the claim that this issue was extremely rare?

I love Signal and have advocated for its use. But I have to say that this issue is trust-breaking.

I lovingly forgive the occasional bug or unpolished feature and I understand that the team behind Signal are human and that programming is hard. But sending messages to the wrong people is very high on the list of things a messenger should never ever ever do!

Having an issue like this remain open for 7.5 months hints at a systemic issue, which is probably be related to Signal being underfunded/understaffed. But regardless of the reason and of everyone's good intentions, the fact remains that similar issues can and probably will happen again, and may again take months to fix.

Your primary goal (IMO) should be "I will want to do it again tomorrow," not a performance goal. Those are secondary. Go hard enough to feel achievement, but not so much that your are sore or worn out, either physically or mentally. Everything emanates from not quitting anyway, and quitting is the reason most people don't achieve what they want. Willpower is a scarce resource, don't overtax it.
Our policies are mostly geared around creating never-ending strip malls, endless suburban neighborhoods, and omnipresent traffic issues. Because these things most efficiently create tax revenue, happy "what my parents had" families, and income segregated areas.

I doubt that they are most efficient at generating tax revenue, especially when considering density and infrastructure maintenance.
I think it's okay to have friends you don't have a super deep relationship with as long as you enjoy being around them.

Like I have quite a few people I'll get together to play board games with, and I enjoy their company for that, but we don't do a whole lot outside of that (sometimes a dinner or a movie or go to a special event, but not too often).
Of course, CAGW has to destroy life at the end.

Agreed. I'd love to see more apartment buildings have bakeries, cafes, or other public spaces on the ground floor. Then you can get to know not only your neighbours in your own apartment building, but in shared spaces for the surrounding areas too.

Nobody has been able to tell me a single thing that this "programmable money" can do, despite having 12 years of gestation to think on it. Everyone just seems excited about the concept and assumes that because it's "natively programmable", it's somehow more useful than what we have right now, which is that we write programs which move around money.

And please don't reply with DeFi, that's not taking advantage of the inherent programmability of Bitcoin, it's just a marketplace based on failed economics.

The bugfix comments says:

> The TL;DR is that if someone had conversation trimming on, it could create a rare situation where a database ID was re-used in a way that could result in this behavior.

How is this bug even possible with E2E encryption?

If picture.png exists on user A's phone and gets sent to user B, shouldn't it be client-side encrypted in such a way that user C, even if they receive it via some database ID screwup, are unable to view it (because it was encrypted with user B's public key)?
Probably by installing some hardened memory on your phone to prevent cosmic bitflips or the such.

Unless you are going to go to NASA lengths of hardware reliability, you can't really hope much for the software that has to deal with the issues of... how many different android phones are there?
FWIW the problem did not remain open for 7.5 months (GitHub issue did, but not the problem). The dev is in the thread and explains.
Oh, I thought it was about the people claiming to be building a replica of Babbage's analytical engine, where the CPU is called "The Mill" [1] 11 years on, it's still all hype. They haven't even posted design documents, let alone built anything. Or even posted an annotated archive of the original documents.

When that started, I contacted them and asked how many part numbers the Analytical Engine needed. That's a basic number for sizing the build job. They didn't have an estimate.
(In manufacturing, a part is one object, and a "part number" is the term for a part design from which many parts are made. Engineering and tooling effort is driven by the number of unique part numbers.)

If they were serious, they could start posting drawings and getting people to model them in SolidWorks or Fusion 360. Somebody would probably CNC machine the parts and make a sample storage register.

The Astronomer's Nose: Tycho Brahe's Controversial Prosthesis (2017)
I read the title and first expected some satire like this:

Imagine you're being taken on a "backstage tour" of the Internet. They open the door, turn on the lights, and as the distinct odor of decay and the chaotic scene of confusion and disarray greet you, you hear the guide blurt out, "Ah, crap! Who made this mess?! I swear it was presentable just a little bit ago! Well, good luck getting ME to clean this up! OK folks, we're outta here!"

And THAT is AWS in "plain English".
That is dumb comment, you are talking about the outcome, which we don't know since we are injecting experimental vaccines

> They were moving out before those rent increases

Have we read the same article? That's not what it says. Where's your source that shows that?

You're focused on stores that I don't even include in what I'm talking. I'm specifically mentioning bars, restaurants, music venues, theaters, clubs, coffee shops, arcades and all such things. I'm not talking about retail stores.

Though I think small boutique stores can be a part of it, and the article specifically calls out an example of a local bookstore that the landlord was trying to push out by raising rent, not that it closed as part of waiding demand. And then it went to say this particular landlord is infamous for doing that and sitting on vacant units.

> the kind of stores that existed pre-net can't compete

That's true for a lot of retail stores, but also doesn't explain why commercial rentals are sitting vacant.
When we all first hear this expression we assume that ignorance is a bad thing, thus we should not be like all the blissfully ignorant. But maybe it was really advice -- don't expand your circle of awareness too far beyond your circle of influence.

It seems like every comment section is full of negative comments about how terrible everything is or how terrible it's going to be soon.

About 2 years ago there was a meteor around this size or maybe a little smaller that passed over Auckland, NZ.

I was sitting in my spa pool looking up at the stars around midnight and it passed over head. Took about 30 seconds and went from one side of the sky to the other an left a huge streak of fire.

There were a couple of posts on social media like “Did anyone see that giant fireball?” but no video footage or news about the event otherwise.

I always feel like nobody believes me when I tell them this.
I've actually found the Python import documentation [0] to be really approachable. I'd give it a look if this article didn't clear things up.

[0]: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/import.html
I think it is. Python added pattern matching, Java got records and pattern matching, C# too. React transitionned from class to hooks and is getting (or already got? I don't follow React too much) an effect system. Rust has a heavy FP influence. Go will have generics which may or may not open the door to some FP. From my understanding, the C landscape has a huge NIH and fragmentation bias, which means that ideas take a lot more time to penetrate.

Replacing everything with FP languages is not going to happen, but I think more and more people are coding in a "FP way" if that makes sense.
its probably not using chat keys for the db, for the sake of being indexable
There is no need to spend extra for 140. A quality 120 is negligibly higher CFM then a quality 140 at the same RPM.

It used to be that bigger is better, but there are diminishing returns, and manufacturers have started making quiet fans in all sizes

[Edit]

To be clear, if the case you like happens to have 140mm fan bays, that's fine, but no need to specifically look for that.
These “blueprint” charts are so harmful.

People that doesn’t understand what some position even are trust this kind of things and hire a lot of people for the sake of it.

Measuring growth in headcount is disfunctional and just bad. I’ve seen many of startups hiring tens on engineers because they can, and to show “growth” to the outside world, not because they added any value
And a great deal of that inflation is due to supply chain issues from the pandemic so it wasn't really an ideal experiment.
The App Store is also (in no part due to Steve Jobs' particular moral quirks) a very puritan place, with a lot of the more awkward content moderation choices--such as Instagram banning photos of people breastfeeding for many years--not coming from social media platforms but being forced on them by Apple.

> Just today I was thinking ”it's been weeks since they moved the GIF button to a different place but there's still the old button at the old place and when you click on it there's a pop-up "wrong, the button is somewhere else now"”.

That's actually a UX FEATURE. Google Maps did exactly the same thing when they reorganized and move the toggle between maps/satelite/traffic layers.

The answer is pretty straightforward: Users get used to a certain UX. If you do a reorganization (to introduce new features, to improve performance, whatever), and move a button, a meaningful percentage of your users won't read the blog post, the release notes, or hunt for a new "Intuitive" location for the feature. They'll just assume you removed the feature and either panic or get mad.

Leaving the old button in the old place is actually kind of a clever way to "Deprecate" a UX feature.

No, it's not perfectly reasonable, because of things like variants, non vaccinated people, and things like that. You could also make the argument that there will be no "going back to normal". Perhaps wearing masks will become more of a thing when there is a risk.

If the first encrption would encrypt the entire drive, then you’ve effectively done a 1-pass erase. It might work, but I would still prefer specialized software — perhaps the encryption method of choice would still leave some data unencrypted or untouched. The hammer method also sounds fine to me.
I think pensioners would be covered as “lenders”. I interpreted lenders to mean those who have savings or are the beneficiaries of savings, such as pensioners, in addition to the obvious meaning of entities that hold fixed-rate debt as an asset.

Because unvaccinated are not the minority, anti-vaxxers are just asocial people. Why wouldn't you ask why prisoners should lack right? The answer would be the same!
Some details on how this assumption was made would be nice, but I think it's pretty obvious that any developer involved in a project can make a reasonable assumption of how rare a bug is depending on the technical details on what is required for the bug to happen. For example, if we say for the sake of argument that a hypothetical bug requires you to have more than ten contacts of the exact same name and these also need to share the same country and area code, one can make the assumption this use case is very rare without knowing the exact number of users that this applies to, just based on common sense regarding how the application is normally used.

edit: The linked github issue says:

> The TL;DR is that if someone had conversation trimming on, it could create a rare situation where a database ID was re-used in a way that could result in this behavior. It was very difficult to track down, with earlier phases involving getting additional logging into builds. Once we had some more information, it did in fact become our top priority, a fix was made, and we got it out as quickly and as safely as possible. The fix itself should make it so that database issues like the one that caused this bug can't happen again.
Interesting, the race taking place on a hot day and she doesn't feel hot when her core peaks at 39.3 degrees.
That feels like an excuse a politician would make. Logistics is never a real problem that halts execution. Yes it is often a hard problem and is often done wrong, resulting in things getting done slowly and inefficiently. However it is seldom the reason for nothing being done at all. E.g. usually we don’t wait months or years until the logistics problem has been solved.

The technological problem of feeding and housing every human on earth has been solved many times over. The logistics of distributing the available food and shelter to those that need is poorly designed and needs an overhaul. This is a political problem and can only be fixed with the political class that is seemingly unwilling.
But the issue is fixed. Forgetting to close a bug report is different than not fixing the bug
Proper form is also a problem. I went up to 1k pushups a day but started with shoulder pain. No matter you many youtube videos i watch i guess i would need a personal trainer to teach me.

There's been a lot of digging with a shovel and pickaxe, earth-moving with a wheelbarrow, and hauling 100-200lb boulders. (driveway cuts, grade adjustments for water drainage, septic, retaining walls...)

But I also recently rebuilt an old roof, and turned it into a mild climbing+parkour game by not using any ladders. This past month I've gotten quite adept at jumping off a 1-story roof.

There's plans for burying a geothermal ground-loop which will involve digging ~50x10` down to 8', basically digging an in-ground pool by hand, only to fill it back up again.

You can make this stuff as difficult as you want...

Edit: Wanted to mention one of my neighbors has been building underground earthdomes which is very labor-intensive, but has the nice property of turning almost pure labor into thermally ground-coupled housing. Totally unaffected by today's lumber prices for example.
To be honest, I think there might be a point where if you’re too plugged in to environmental social media, you end up opposing fairly practical approaches to solving it because increasingly-niche concerns. The “good is the enemy of the better” effect.

Normie: “Oh cool, electric cars are improving that means less pollution and i spend less on gas!”

Too-online environmental person: “But ACKSHUALLY, electric cars are terrible because theoretically lithium might have some environmental impact and we need to ban all cars if we REALLY care about the environment, so electric cars are bad because they’re stopping us from banning all cars.”
