Genuinely curious - could you elaborate on why that is so unacceptable? What does requiring authentication imply, or lead to in the future?
High performance and readable certainly. Not sure why beautiful would be something to strive for though
Ah, that's interesting. I wonder how hard it'd be to find these areas of the disk, I wonder if the location of them is stored in some kind of non volatile memory, so the disk can easily find them.
Two points...

First, high inflation is good for holders of some financial assets (e.g. stocks) and bad for others (bonds). It's good for existing borrowers and bad for existing lenders. It's good for those in debt and bad for those who saved cash. Essentially, high inflation punishes financial frugality and rewards financial speculation.

Second, massive inflation-caused economic collapse is highly unlikely in any developed nation today. The more likely path is either 1) reasonable economic growth with high inflation (say 5% to 10%) or 2) economic stagnation similar to what Japan has experienced for the last few decades.

Be aware that the people predicting debt-fueled hyperinflation-style economic doom & gloom have been doing so for nearly half a century now. They have been saying it's a few years away for decades. Every recession they say "we were right, it'll just get worse!" They have been wrong every time for 40 years. Maybe they'll be right in the coming few decades... but I wouldn't bet my financial future on it.
If I could reliably transfer my gmail legacy freebie grandfather thing account without it taking 7 to 11 days of API rate limited transfer at 100% luck, I would get my email out of there. Alas.
It seems they are targeting "normal" people (to whom word "dockerized" sounds like a misspelling of something happening in a port).

Mixing "normal" people and self-hosted email is a recipe for very bad experience.
legitimacy is not the issue. being legit doesn't make their videos right.

"the dodo" has a video of an abused dog out there (that i am not going to link to) that has made countless of views since it came out and is still making views.

replace dog with child and that video would have gotten taken down.
I was banking on it happening in the next year or so. If it’s not going to happen until 5 or 10 years then it seems like not joining in with the fools now and investing in FAANG stock / bitcoin means you’ll miss out on massive gains in the interim...
It seems that they are saying the prisoners apparent consent, which is being denied outright, should not be denied. If so, it would be relevant, since the entire discussion of abuse hinges on it being abuse.
I find it hard to find communities for my ever-changing niche interests.

I’m working on community discussion boards which exist at the intersection of interests.

Eg. Mountain Biking/New Zealand, Propulsion/Submarine, Machine Learning/Aquaponics/Tomato, etc.

The search terms for interests are supplied from Wikipedia articles which avoids duplicate interests and allows for any level of granularity.

I find that key word functionality in search engines has degraded to the point that finding good content for niche interests is difficult. I’m hoping with this system I can view historical (and current) discussions around my many niche interest combos.

I’ve got the foundation done, I just need some feedback/advice on whether I’m reinventing the wheel here, or if others share this problem?
You probably don't want to believe anything in this: The author is a well known scammer/con-artist (Craig Wright) who has a long running advanced fee fraud scheme predicated on convincing suckers that he created bitcoin and has some secret stash of billions that he could get to only if his victims help him with some cash flow problems.

He has a long history of using forgeries, faked documents, plagiarism, and impersonation in order to pass himself off as some kind of credible.

This article is debunked in the "Further Epilogue" of https://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/secure_del.html

Moreover, the images of their supposed MFM imaging was just copied off a manufacturer's page ( https://web.archive.org/web/20090418043851/https://www.engr.... shows another copy on a similarly old page, citing the source) -- so it seems unlikely that they ever performed any measurements at all. A big chunk was plagiarized from an uncited source ("A Practical Guide to Scanning Probe Microscopy (1993)")... another hallmark of Wright's lame forgeries.

There was a phenomenal twitter thread that went over all this and more, but Wright used spurious legal threats to drive the author off twitter. The biggest loss was where it pointed out that one of the citations in this paper is where they tried to cite Nikola Tesla in [20], but used the title of the 1989 album The Great Radio Controversy by the rock band Tesla ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Radio_Controversy ). :P

These days Wright is busy prolonging a lawsuit against a dozen former and current Bitcoin developers-- including myself--, demanding that they help him compensate for his lack of private keys by publishing a backdoored version of Bitcoin in order to aid him in taking billions of dollars worth of other people's coins, or failing that pay him billions of dollars themselves.

I wouldn't be shocked now if Wright wasn't promoting this article because in one of his lawsuits he claimed hackers hid a "wifi pineapple" in his home and used it to penetrate his systems and then delete his private keys. ... and then before contacting law enforcement he completely wiped his systems, helpfully destroying evidence that the supposed hack never happened and that the keys never existed. So now he's invested in the claim that deletions are never recoverable, to cover for his transparent spoliation.

He's now funded by loans taken out against his non-existing bitcoin fortune, which likely explains why he's cowardly doing everything he can to delay progress in at least five different court cases. Presumably the consequences for him will be dire when his victims start realizing the funds he promised them next existed. Esp because one of the largest sponsors is a former drug smuggler who spent a decade on the run on the DHS most wanted list.
Oh crap, I've not thought of that before... That is so obvious on hindsight, of course some people would do that >:(
I feel like anyone technical enough to know and care what this product is, are also totally capable of setting it up themselves.
I care about owning my own data very much. This makes me conservative when it comes to these solutions, despite otherwise being an early adopter of everything tech.

For that reason I always recommend Synology NAS machines. They have been around forever, they work for years on autopilot and feel very similar to a microwave in terms of operational overhead. One-time purchase. No subscriptions. But most importantly, the ecosystem is stable and mature. And they are easy to understand and reason about and come with a slick UI with mobile apps. My favorite feature is having my massive photo collection always available on my phone, served from my own basement (with encrypted AWS Glacier backups).

[EDIT] This is Brandon Phillips of CoreOS fame sharing this! Maybe I should take a closer look then.
Here is a brief (3 minute) silent video that explains what AIP is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rBL54Hdixw

AIPs are a big competitor to replace diesel submarines for the reasons the article sets out. Nuclear has superior performance, but the costs aren't in the same ballpark as either AIP or diesel (particularly cost to do nuclear safely).

I could see the US retiring out a handful of nuclear subs and replacing them with AIPs simply as a cost saving measure (e.g. SSBN mission). It would reduce the cost of the submarine fleet while saving face in terms of sub count and on-paper capabilities (although then we go down the rabbit-hole of "is the US sub fleet oversized?").

I spent some time looking at Youtube reccommendations in fresh browser session (no cookies or account) yesterday and was contiually amazed by the types of videos that would often have 10M or even 100M views. The clickbait styles used by nearly all large channels have gotten so amazingly efficient that it seems like they near-perfectly pinpoint various biases and draws in our psyche now, and looking at the large categories of different genres of suggestions was an almost surreal experience in how similarly they targeted potential viewers. A lot of the content was obviously fake, and much of what was not obviously fake was significantly exaggerated for obvious reasons, with the method of exaggeration varying according to the genre of content.

I spent a lot of time thinking about the platform as a whole after this, about all of the both wonderful and terrible changes it causes for our world. Some sections of YouTube are not just equivalent to television, but much worse and clearly actively harmful, but other sections are so amazing (educational content being one of the best examples imo) that it would be far too careless to dismiss the platform or its incentives as inherently bad.

I suppose the best we could hope for is that we find some ways to improve the viral algorithms (and incentive structures that produce them) that control our Internet ecosystem over time, because there are better ways to align incentives with the goals of humanity than we are currently doing, even if it is hard to get there. I often find that society actually does really care about and improve on these issues, but the reason why it is often easier to be pessimistic is because the changes that we make in response often occur very slowly, often over the span of decades even.
Cylindrical wheels were expected to reduce hunting oscillation and rail wear, which were particularly significant problems for BART because of the high speeds it operated at. The basic problem is that computer modeling was not yet available, and so the new design was validated experimentally using a set of instrumented test carriages on a short rail section built for the purpose. This found positive results on improved ride, but failed to detect the long-term problematic track wear. BART wheels have mostly been re-trued to a new profile which is not cylindrical, but also not quite a traditional conical section, and was designed with extensive use of computer modeling.

The cylindrical wheel decision is closely related to the decision to use Indian/broad gauge, which was expected to provide a smoother ride as well as allowing more support equipment to be mounted under the car where it would produce less vibration.

Both are decisions that have not stood the test of time, although the choice of Indian gauge cannot practically be reversed. But I think the discussion around this often pays the original designers far too little credit: BART was intentionally a highly innovative design with numerous aspects that were somewhat experimental. BART's automated control system, for example, was such a debacle that BART initially operated with signal towers and the control system required nearly complete replacement. But it was a completely trailblazing design, and the same missteps would have to be made somewhere. BART was used once again as a test platform for an innovative radio control scheme in the 2000s, evidence of which can still be seen mounted trackside on the SFO wye.

Many lessons learned from BART's performance have contributed to later designs around the world, including notably the DC Metro which was built just shortly after by some of the same contractors.
I suppose this is their gamble: can they make something that is so easy to use, even a normal person will be happy with it. That being said, how many “normal” people are really so concerned about email security that they don’t trust one of the big clouds?
The file is transferred compressed with http gzip so only 190kb is transferred.

I can see the point of being efficient but this doesn't seem that bad all things considered. At least the list is also human readable unlike a regex or custom compression.
> This means that Google could very easily afford to charge developers a lot less than it does and still be wildly and even unfairly successful.

I always wonder if every first world, white collar worker who thinks these things realizes that the exact same thing applies to themselves.

For every cushy white collar job in the developed world, there are hoards of people who would do this job for a fraction of what is being paid. So why don't people work for less, voluntarily? It sounds absurd right?

Capitalism is the worst form of economic association, except for all the others. Show me a viable alternative, and I'll change my mind.

There's a Japanese mindset/idea that the best you should hope for for your children is for them to be average. This is statistically sound and reduces the hurt that one would feel when their child is not above average as well as provides more joy if they do happen to exceed expectations.

Everybody reads Fowler and does horrible things thereafter for a while. Hopefully, you come out of that phase and learn what is worth bothering with and what is not, without too many years and without too many scars and too many failed projects.

Some never do though...

The phase of my career where I drank the SOLID kool-aid and studied and tried to apply the hip architectural patterns is one of the darkest and most regrettable. I'm still dealing with bad decisions made in code bases from that period.

Adding complexity (more justices) to address complexity (more laws) is not going to help.

The reason leftists like the authors of this article want more justices now is because Biden would appoint leftist justices and the 51/50 split in the Senate would confirm them.

It might be interesting to produce seriously cut down reimplementations of those utilities for purely home use.

Similar to how a home router/switch/NAS doesn't need anywhere near the same number of options and possible misconfigurations and code that isn't helping you at all.

(I'm skipping past all the issues with this particular unit by this particular company to the point that this is a good idea and I'd be nice to see a lot more options in this space along with less complexity...)
On the flipside - this was caught, an investigation has opened, the public was notified and mitigating steps were taken to ensure election security. IMO this is what it looks like when the system is functioning well.
I’m not basing my prediction on the doomsayers, more on general decline of the Western world overall. There are too many issues piling up and to my mind, this will eventually cause some serious economic problems. But I’m not an economist, so I don’t take my word for it.

My broader point is simply that the rich today are succeeding in a system which might not be stable in a few decades.
I have been working on a large side project which is no longer just a side project. I am not getting as many hours of work in as I would like, but at the same time I know if I tried to do more, I wouldn't be productive. In fact I'd do negative work. Years ago I would push through and work anyway (I am a real goal oriented person.) Knowing what I do know now, all I can do is shrug my shoulders. It's like distance running - for all the desire to work harder and do better, speeding up won't get you to the finish line faster.

If you have some sense of your limitations, you no longer can really feel guilty about being lazy for this. It may be worse though, because then you can feel bad about your capability. Hopefully that is something you can just accept.
It's so sad how some people think other people don't have people who care about what they're up to.

Why the Covid Vaccines Aren’t Dangerous
I used to tune my shortwave radio to various frequencies emitted by my ZX Spectrum +2A. It had terrible shielding!

You could hear the noise/tone change with various different types of computation, and for some frequencies listen to the framebuffer scanout (I think) where the sound appeared to match the display changes. Definitely not in the UHF range of the actual signal though.
You're erecting a teeny tiny strawman here. I never said they don't reduce infection rates. I said they're designed and tested to prevent serious disease, not infection, and therefore transmission is expected to continue to a significant extent even after we achieve high rates of vaccination.

Please look up sterilizing immunity, and tell me how many common vaccines are known to induce it. I'll give you a hint: there's only one, and it isn't a covid vaccine.

This is a well known feature of vaccines, including the new covid vaccines, and this is supported by the available data, as you might notice from some of the articles that @belter cited earlier.

So I'll ask again, in what way was @belter wrong in your opinion?
Removing recommendation systems entirely, for now, would be a massive improvement, but that won't happen because none of us get input into that decision.

You're arguing that abuse should be hidden? For many people (including myself), they first found out about terrible happenings in the world via YouTube videos, and besides this education being important for better understanding the world, it actually motivates them to do something about it.

That is ace. Thanks for sharing!
Not that it would ever make business sense, but ceasing click-based monetization in favor of Patreon-style monetization would do a pretty good job of getting rid of the bad stuff without getting rid of the good stuff. Most of the quality YouTubers I know of use Patreon already.

> 1. You don't need to write a parser.

One of the things people really like about Rust is its fantastic error messages. They're very helpful.

But, having decided you "don't need to write a parser" you're in a tough place for your DSL since there are problems where Lisp's parser will just tell your DSL programmers something went wrong here and leave them clueless as to what exactly is wrong in their program. Rust wouldn't have done that, but of course its compiler owns the parser too so it gets to handle all the corner cases correctly.
