I keep running into niche areas where the discussion group is on Facebook. Which annoys me to no end as I hate Facebook, but that's where the action is. It's not obvious to me that Facebook couldn't eat reddit's lunch.
I think part of it too is that they don’t have to care. Most customers don’t know enough to care and they don’t have any legal obligations with respect to security so why bother?
It's property so basically everyone
There's two very different use cases for Reddit:

- actual communities centred around a topic, like knitting or a particular video game.

- just general memes and funny photos/videos

That second use case can be supplanted by basically anyone and anywhere.
During fire season this year, living in one of the cities with the worst air quality in Canada this year, I had to double up my fans to keep up when it reaches 400+ US pm2.5 aqi in my home office that is about 300 sq ft. I am using filtrete 1900 20x20x1 from amazon (Canada)

I also have a Dyson air cleaner and it works for moderate to light smoke but it's just not enough for heavy smoke.

No no, you've got it all wrong.

Panic, famous software publisher for Apple, said similar things about that: https://www.theverge.com/22611236/epic-v-apple-emails-projec...
Ok, that’s a different issue. We have crossed the threshold where most people are getting sick or vaccinated, with many getting both. People can test positive for infection without being particularly infectious. Just as the vaccinated are less likely to be hospitalized they are also vastly less contagious on average after infection.

That’s from two different effects the vaccinated and prior infected are both less sick and sick for a shorter periods. Which is why people talk about herd immunity. Of course the longer people go unvaccinated the more evolution is pushing COVID to become ever more infectious aka Delta as part of a long line of slightly worse variants.

But, again eventually almost everyone gets it or the vaccine so there is major pressure to get people vaccinated or just open up so the unvaccinated get sick.
But does the complexity actually matter for the end result? Only in some systems.
>The fundamental failure of this logic of trying to go somewhere and built a new city to escape the policy failures of the old city, is that those conflicts are intrinsic problems of large scale human organization. If you bring people, you bring the politics.

That seems like a really jaded view. To my mind there are millions of ways to organize human societies. The more experimentation the better. You're acting like nothing new can ever happen in this area, and I just don't buy that.
That’s what I asked.
How is your second amendment helping you deal with NSA, illegal no-fly lists, police brutality, etc? It doesn't, its just a power fantasy. There are plenty of 'disatmed' countriss with just as much or more liberty

React, react-native and react-native-web are really interesting. Classic react (for the web) was built with a plugin based rendering system. Classic react's renderer targets HTML and the DOM. React-native swaps out the renderer for one that renders to native elements (for example, instead of a <div> you would use a <View>, which then renders a native "box" using system primitives). They are both running the same react code, just with different renders. There's a whole system in react-native to be able to wrap native APIs and access them via javascript, but at the end of the day, both systems are running the same react (just different renders).

React-native-web is basically a classic react component library that aims to be 100% compatible with react-native. You can literally do "npm install react-native-web", then "import {View, Text} from "react-native" and just start writing react-native code in a classic react-project. It's nearly feature complete, and pretty incredible. Really the only downside is that (obviously) react-native-web can't use those 3rd party libraries that use that "native API wrapper" features of react-native. That being said, a lot of packages are starting to offer react-native-web compatibility by writing web-specific "polyfills" for the native components.
I don't mean this comment to be critical of the OP, who is undoubtedly acting in good faith, but how after all this time is this submission not somehow flagged as a duplicate?
These filters have activated carbon in them, though probably not very much of it: https://www.amazon.com/Nordic-Pure-20x20x4-Pleated-Furnace/d...
They don’t even need to raise prices necessarily to a gouging level - they can just sell product while others can’t. Build brand loyalty, take market share.
Even in the Kibbutz the system can fail because no-one wants to support the slackers for 20 years or more.

That’s fair, but I think we will see a swing to vertically integrated supply chains to address some of this risk.
Wait, what? What's horrendous about Gmail? It's one of the few sites that's predictable, gets out of my way, has a smooth workflow, and doesn't leave me shouting, "WTF? Why would you do that?"

The only issues I remember having are that sometimes label autocomplete is flaky and sometimes the new emails take too long to show up.[1] It has good support for vim-like keyboard shortcuts as well.

Don't want to sound like a shill, but I've found Gmail to be an outlier.

[1] There was also the April Fools "mic drop" feature where you could accidentally mute a conversation but I didn't experience that personally.
It's definitely not brest cancer now. It's very well funded now.

Identity politics IS a demand for equality, based on the recognition that certain groups experience inequality in ways specific to them. For example, Black women are 3-4 times as likely to die from pregnancy related complications and twice as likely to lose an infant to premature death. A plea for that to be considered and rectified is not a desire for "special treatment," and in fact if it were to be changed that would almost certainly improve the United State's abysmal maternal healthcare FOR ALL WOMEN across the board. A rising tide lifts all boats, no?
I have to agree with your other comment. Drawing things out on pen and paper helps me a lot as well, but it’s quite difficult to do when you need to work around existing code and keep all the classes, methods, and logic in your head, looking up things as you go.
Thanks for agreeing.
Judging from the people who I see at DEFCON who follow the "Hak5" people, it's mostly kids and not professionals.
>Agreed. I’d love to hear some alternative examples to Twitter’s web app or how one could build it faster.

Sure, Twitter from 2011. Backend handling might be faster today but that's decoupled from the frontend bloat and UI anti-patterns.
That doesn’t make sense, the higher the flow rate the higher the energy each particle has so more chance of it making it through the filter.
Covid-19 lockdowns caused more deaths instead of reducing them, study finds
This is also why microservices are bad and libraries are good. Much better to have a copy of the IP than rely on some black box.

I love linters.

This is one of the first things that I add to a new project, before I write one line of code: https://github.com/realm/SwiftLint

I write about it here: https://littlegreenviper.com/miscellany/swiftwater/swiftlint...
Get ready for a large swath of ad-less Reddit clones as Reddit will soon become an ad-laden cesspool in the name of increasing "shareholder value."
Neither of your examples qualify for the lint rule that's about cases that assign to the same variable, so I'm not sure why you accuse the author of "cherry-picking"?
> "So, why is IoT security like this?"

Cheap consumer IoT devices cut corners on everything so the developers too just do the absolute minimum to make it work, security be damned.

For industrial / commercial IoT devices, you have both low-level (e.g. device driver) devs who know squat about running a secure network making design decisions and customers with extremely low quality IT staff who also make poor design decisions with respect to security and also ignore firmware updates even when they contain security fixes.

It's just a mess all around.
Hello everyone! I've been wanting an RSS aggregator styled like old-school reddit for a while now and I finally got around to sitting down and writing it this week.

Fair warning - it has very few features and probably many bugs. If you find one, please let me know! I will be eternally grateful.
> now my ip is shadowbanned for circumventing the reddit policy of not creating new account to post on subs you are banned from.

That's frustrating. You wanted to politely share your opinion on local politics in a popular forum and now you can't even create a new subreddit. I made reveddit [1] to allow users to review moderator actions on reddit. Maybe you can use that to research how you think that subreddit is biased and then share your analysis on another site. The history [2] and subreddit [3] pages may be helpful.

I live in an area that had over about 6 weeks with us pm2.5 aqi above 300 almost every day and many days exceeding 400 and it shocks me how many people still don't have filters of any kind and see this kind of DIY fan as excessive and silly. Ok, more filters for me I suppose.
A lot of authors still use a pad and pen. And of course many take notes with it.

One of the advantages— perhaps the main advantage — is that the notepad doesn’t have an internet connection.
Or say (OpenBSD) Theo-style?
When an individual steadfastly refuses to do something the government demands, one of two things happens:

1. A rich, or legally crafty individual can get a court to invalidate the demand, or tie up the issue in legal process for years or indefinitely.

2. The government will escalate until the individual is in jail.

Jail isn't the first step in the enforcement process, but it's on the list, and fair to say that people were jailed because they didn't maintain their lawns to government standards following other enforcement efforts.
I am not a fan of the examples in the article, but for tools like rubocop in ruby, I am pretty glad it sometimes uses semi-obscure but more "correct" forms.

When I started learning ruby a bunch of the changes flew over my head, but it is also an excellent entry point to look further into best practices, and concrete examples of how my code could be better.

The condition is of course the tool being itself extremely good, otherwise it's just everyday hell (looking at you, phpstan...)
I was surprised there was no mention of whitelisting.

If I know the queries that client apps are going to be running it would be useful to lock the API down to those. It sacrifices flexibility, but if you control apps and server, e.g. a startup then you still get the benefit of flexibility in development. Just need a system of add to the whitelist before deployment.

I have been looking for a way to achieve this with graphene but looks like there isn't a library for that yet. I'm wonder if other platforms offer this?
I mean we should be moving to less labor intensive business models anyway. Companies that already embrace automation are getting rid of the workers. We as a society should get ahead of this and ensure that the people who need help are able to get it.
I'm also curious why we need to make it cheaper to employ workers? What does society gain from having people work for 40 hours a week but still live in poverty?
Many vegetables served in restaurants are cooked in a lot of salt, fat, and (surprisingly) sugar. You may not be eating as healthy as you think.
I have 2 coway units in a ~800sqft apartment and still have tons of dust but I open the windows a lot when its not smoky and I have a dog so who knows. The pre-filter does trap a lot of dust so there is obviously some (maybe minor) reduction.
Apple needs to dump the stupid lightning connector already.
Exactly. I prefer this a lot more to at least avoid using else:

x = 4
Less likely to be sick and.. That's it. Equally as likely to spread the Delta variant if we're considering viral load as the metric. That's only compared to an unvaccinated person who has not previously had an infection (i.e. no natural immunity).
Maybe there's no coercion where you live, but where I live some people who are unvaccinated get a fine in a form of a forced test every two weeks that they have to pay for, no matter how risk-averse they are.

A vaccinated socialite is far more of a problem than an unvaccinated loner.
> Curious if anyone from Finland can comment: How is it that you are not scared of seeing your culture be erased by the ever-increasing use of English?

For that, one needs to have a culture to be worried for... Somewhat less flippantly: How do you know they aren't? I'd guess most people don't worry about that, but some probably do. Personally, I don't; I'm fairly certain Finnish will survive... And I have enough to worry about for the country's minority language, Swedish, which I fear won't survive here for many more generations.

> Some comments mention that you can find restaurants where no one speaks Finnish. Is that not a red flag that at some point the country might flip entirely?

No. I think you misread that; at least the comment I saw on the subject read not like "nobody" but "not everybody" to me. Your waitress might speak only English, so if you don't, you'd have to ask for another one -- most, or at least some, of the rest of them probably do speak Finnish.
I hope this is obvious to everyone.

Russia, India, and the US are all more authoritarian than they were a few years ago. Russia and China aren't even democracies.
Something that has always been true: there is less freedom in bigger cities, because there are more people affected by whatever any one person does. Things that are fine in a rural area because there’s nobody around simply are tolerated by nearby neighbors.

As the Internet connects everybody together, I wonder if it is unavoidable that individual liberties will be restrained. Whether true or only perception, when we are all connected more people feel affected by stuff that, thirty years ago, nobody would have noticed or known about.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the irony of saying that the measures against covid "don't justify the costs" when the article literally says more people have died (either directly from covid or indirectly) during the pandemic than from smoking/obesity/car accidents?

The number of deaths even is lower than it could've been because countries implemented all sorts of draconian measures until vaccinations rolled out, so y'all appear to be simultaneously arguing that there should be more covid deaths cus freedom and/or we should make larger sacrifices to economic activity for lesser causes.

Either way, it strikes me as a weak argument.

nice find! No real opinion on Ars, though Nikkei is probably towards the bottom of trustworthiness for this kind of stuff
You're not wrong, though it's worth noting there are two different things going on there. In terms of operations (flying aircraft) the honor system makes sense. You want everyone learning from each others mistakes so you need to encourage a culture of voluntary transparency. That means you are actively trading leniency in exchange for transparency to keep everyone talking. On the other side, engineering, there are very well defined frameworks for how you design, fabricate, test, and certify airframes. There's an argument to be made for working to minimize the pointless red tape (and oh boy is there a lot of pointless red tap) but self certification in the ream of purely capitalistic corporations isn't the right play. Individuals can be convinced to care about reputation but corporations are so profit driven and carefully structured to avoid liability that it's largely pointless to attempt to map individual morality onto them.
Thank you!!! I'm in your same boat, maybe worse b/c I'm deep into my 40's, but just never really did much outdoor activity. When I was a kid there was all sorts of federal lands around that we could really roll around in however we liked. Where i'm at now it's a 40 minute drive to trails, so it's just streets and other people's property. :/

Just now getting set up to get more time outside . Sounds like i should take a lesson from your pain. :) Hope you get feeling better soon and get back out there (if maybe a tick lower kinetic energy :)

I was going to write a blog post conveying my mental model of what git is (having had one too many conversations along the lines of "no, git is not a ledger of diffs").

So, I started reading through <https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Git-Objects> again to make sure I didn't have anything wrong.

But now there's no point in writing a blog post. Maybe I'll write one that just links to <https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Git-Objects>.

It even has nice diagrams, which I think are essential for this kind of thing.
My aunt had some worrying health signs in February of 2020 and her doctor scheduled some scans to followup, to look for cancer.

The pandemic hit. All non-essential medical procedures were put on hold until further noticed. Hospitals were either too full or getting ready to become too full. Her scans got delayed.

This delayed finding the cancer, delayed chemo, delayed everything. She made it only a few days into 2021. If they had caught it just a little bit earlier, well, who knows what might have been.

She never caught covid-19. But I view her as a casualty of the pandemic.

And this is why excess deaths is a more important measure than how many corpses you can find virus particles in.
Thats a political choice, in the first world we could make sure every homeless person gets 3,000 calories, and not spend 1% of gdp
Now that regular cost-effective home HEPA filters are widely available I mostly rely on those. However, I find that the box fan + furnace filter works really well in the window to bring in fresh air without letting the pm2.5 in. This is nice because otherwise CO2 levels build up and it gets stuffy inside. This works on all but the worst days when you can really smell the fire/smoke outside, AQI > 200.

Overall, its not the prettiest and I'd prefer a HEPA filtered energy recovery ventilation but I'm not going to install that in my rental for a couple weeks a year. Usually in Oakland climate the windows are open.
If you don't accept that you have free will, than nothing you write or say has any meaning.
> The modern Republican party is literally defined by opposition to those bills; it was the core of Goldwater's strategy, which set in motion the "ideological sort" of the late 70s and 80s.

Goldwater lost in a landslide, losing virtually every traditional Republican state including his home state of Arizona. He won a few southern states, but Carter won all of those same states in 1976. Saying that Goldwater’s civil rights stance defines the modern Republican Party is like trying to call Joe Biden socialist. It’s red meat for Democrats, not historically accurate.

The Reagan re-sort was driven by economic development in the southern states, as those states became dependent on low taxes and low regulation to draw business from blue states. Carter won rural Georgia in 1980, but Reagan won up and coming Atlanta suburbs like Gwinnett and Cobb.

On race, Reagan ran on opposition to affirmative action, which is completely different than the civil rights laws Goldwater opposed: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/made-by-history/wp/2017/....
Sort of? It's almost more equivalent to networking or distributed processing - circuits in different clock domains can't just send a wire to another domain, they have to go through a synchronizer and do some handshaking and other stuff that's vaguely similar to RPCs. I'm stretching here, it's slightly beyond what I've worked with so far.
Having worked on implementations of side-channel resistant crypto libraries, processor bugs mostly don’t scare me, but uArch and compiler optimizations very much do.
Please circle back and post that article. That would be the first that I've heard of any difference in time between the two. Honestly it sounds suspicious.
Or, we become worse as human beings if we react with intense charged emotion every time a particular thing is mentioned, creating a situation where we can easily be baited into reacting, and where perpetual tit-for-tat outrage is normalised. Let’s try for something other than that.

Allowing 14 year olds to use an app to control a sex toy is still disgusting, and a policy allowing it is equally disgusting. Policy should be changed then.

And anyone downvoting dare to actually have a conversation about what you find so acceptable about allowing kids to use this app? To be clear, I don't care about votes, but it's certainly a curious topic to downvote quietly
If the benchmarks were the kind of bad that you allude to in your second statement it would probably be pretty reasonable for the reasons you state, and overall you would probably end up with a distribution of benchmarks that approximated overall performance. What about intentionally crafted, nigh pathological examples? With the kind of flaws that don't crop up in real world code? I don't think those have value.

Actually, I think I'm trying to distinguish between flawed benchmarks like you are talking about and actively malignant benchmarks.
