I'm thinking of current subsistence farmers, specially in Africa and South America. Nuclear war has some impact, but I don't think all areas in world are heavily affected. I doubt absolutely all of these will be hit to extinction level. Developed countries on other hand surely massive starvation to boot.
> Once you pick a user to start the authentication flow, it forks off a special helper that's marked setuid root so it can interact with PAM (unfortunately, arbitrary PAM modules can assume things about root credentials).

Does this mean we could remove the helper's setuid mark if we know the PAM modules we need don't assume things about root credentials? Would we even need the helper then?
I haven't used this, but it should be mentioned:

TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE when I tried to do some date arithmetic on an ETL job to load into Postgres.

Eventually I gave up, and fetched it back into Python and did the arithmetic there before sending it on.

It may have been that there is an obvious answer which I simply failed to find due to the fact that I hadn't used Oracle in a decade. But I went down a number of dead ends before coming up with an approach that worked. (And the person before me had simply not noticed the problem...)
Acknowledging reality is wolf warrior now? Yes, I encourage people to read my comment history on the subject to get sense of current US/PRC strategic thinking and update their model likely formed by bad takes from pop Chinawatching sources. Consensus today is dramatically different than consensus from 5/10 years ago, yet there's still folks pretending TW is hard to invade / easy to defend nonesense arguments from 20 years ago.
I'm not the best person to explain or recommend it, but I'll suggest "immediate mode" GUIs partially because I want to hear more about the pros/cons from those more experienced (I haven't ever worked on UIs professionally). It seems these graphics libraries just need some kind of context to draw to, like from OpenGL, and also have a simpler implementation in general. That might make them more portable and smaller, if less native-feeling. I just started looking into egui (a Rust crate) myself.
varchar1 was varchar. I should say "is", since varchar is still supported, they just recommend varchar2 since varchar "might change" (probably not...)
I'm not saying containers aren't needed. Just that we keep trying to solve packaging and end up with more layers that have to duplicate large swaths of functionality. So we get java->containers->container orchestration, for example. The containers overlap some built-in java functionality, and so does the orchestration piece.
Reddit is dead to me, there is some change of generations there. Content and comments are below basic
It was years ago I first came across this, after I'd already spent a lot of time with MySQL and MSSQL, and some time with PostgreSQL and Firebase. But I still remember having a massive WTF moment!
Cross-Account Container Takeover in Azure
How I arrived at my perfect business idea
You can basically have this today - you might have to give up a few niceties, but if you don't rely on anything too fancy, Lineage + F-Droid, with optional MicroG will generally do the trick for most apps.

Gotta be a bit of tinkerer to set that one up though, not something for grandma.
> So a small office for the team is perfect. 6-8 persons.

To start with the obvious, anything would be a huge improvement over what we have now.

When I try to imagine how I would feel about working in such office, I guess it would depend on its size and layout. I have both good and bad experience with the "one room per team" setting.

In the bad case, the team members were so cramped that you sometimes couldn't put a book on your desk, because the other guy then couldn't freely move his mouse. Also, people were sitting so close to each other that everyone had their neighbors' monitors in peripheral vision.

In the good case, everyone's desk was as wide as they could stretch their hands, with some space between the desks. Also, the room had a window that you could actually open.
Reminds me of being a msc student. We got a "lab" environment which was just a couple of tables, the lab part was bringing your own laptop, because computer science.

PhD candidates came in on hot summer days being pretty jealous, as our room used to be the serverroom, i.e., the only room with working airconditioning.
The offices I work out of in a suburb of DFW are >$20/sqft and its not really that fancy of an office building. My wife works commercial property management in the suburbs of DFW, most of the properties she manages have rents >$30/sqft. And real estate is considered cheap in Texas!
I personally think the exact opposite. GTK needs a lot of custom styling to get the "native" style to work, and even then it's kind of lacking.

GTK feels right at home in the GNOME desktop environment (which I use, and like!) but for cross platform I don't really think it feels native at all. As a user, I've had much better native experiences with QT or WxWidgets to be honest (on Windows, at least).
Yes. "Luonnonmuonaohje" is the word. On this particular kayaking trip I was totally obsessed with post-holocaust living on the Baltic sea. Macaroni/BirchLeaves/Tabasco was the menu. You can get used to it. https://youtu.be/0P-wd3qzCBA
Most crime occurs at night.

Cops frequently have to chase suspects into dark areas. Being lit up will both help suspects get away easier and massively increase the risk that the suspects will be able to easily shoot their pursuers.
Not me. But then again nobody cares about me anyway.

Apparently I learned that I’m allergic to my deodorant yesterday, it burned when I applied it to the skin and after a minute it became intolerable. Guess what it contained? PEG-8.
But on Twitter, bots aren’t only bots. For example, I have bot accounts that auto-tweet things, but then I can log in to those accounts and manually tweet.

Because of that I’d think the label would have to be applied to individual tweets and not to the profile.
Outside light is not required. There are a lot of offices without any windows in the US even in these days of the open office fad.

Different countries have different rules. Check you local laws before you put in an office without windows.
"less chance of severe covid compared to a vaccinated adult" is an attempt to move the goalposts to an irrelevant point

if they're vaccinated, they count towards the numerator

if they are a person, and thus have a nonzero chance of getting infected, and a nonzero chance of infecting others if infected, they count towards the denominator

that's how you determine vaccination rate
My side by side actually runs some pump that is not the compressor when you close the door. It runs for about 5 seconds, after which the doors are quite difficult to open. Air does not change temperature that fast without being forced to, so the idea that within 10 seconds it's harder to open because of a natural vacuum seems suspect.

Maybe 5 minutes after?
A completely prejudiced and highly reduced view on SQL implementations, but one that could reflect the general mood: in the camp of the good: PostgreSQL, SQLite; in that of the bad: Oracle SQL, MSSQL. Somewhere in between with a tendency to good: MariaDB
Agreed. The core concept is that we should automate away as much of the ops workload as possible so (1) devs don’t need to learn the whole ops skill set and (2) no one is doing things that computers could do automatically. Containers and orchestration technologies are a form of automating away a lot of ops work (if you need to package an application you don’t need to solve for SSH, package management, log exfiltration, monitoring, or any of a dozen other things).
What reassure me is that the americans are so aggressive and dangerous that they become huge money pit target, leaving the rest of us quite free from foreign espionage.
Stock options can be a lot different than equity depending on how it's structured. The options I was given was a cash payout of market stock price minus exercise price. More like a cash bonus. If I ran a small bootstrapped company, I'd say no to giving out stock options because where am I going to get a reliable stock price? I'd educate the sales person that cash bonus structure is a more appropriate at this stage of the company and a bonus is similar to a cash payout of a stock option anyway. It is more aligned to his role in the company.

For equity (or structures resulting in equity), that's like taking on a partner. Voting rights, privileged info access, profit sharing. That is a very different dynamic. Since you're just calling him a "sales guy", doesn't sound like a partner to me. Again, cash bonuses are more aligned to his role. Also, you could revisit his role in the future. Use partnership as a carrot as long as he proves to be indispensable to the company over time.
It’s a good move if you want to get more business than the people still charging $10. It’s very much an equilibrium between profit and competition.
> Tell that to Pieter Levels, who's made a fortune off travel planning software as a one-man shop.

A "fortune".

He has a lot of little projects, what % of his revenue is his travel site/app? And how much?

Yes, if it saves me from having to call to cancel my subscription or going through a bunch of weird "are you sure", "how about 2% off", "how about 5% off", "how about we bill you $5 less", "why do you not like us? Fill out this 75 question survey to cancel". Yes it does.
https://tauri.studio/ - I haven’t used it myself but looks pretty interesting. They say they use existing browser engine shipped with OS and desktop integration layer written in Rust. The claim is that you get an application size under 1MB
What a misogynist comment: What makes you say that Mayer got hired for being female?
With regards to the CHECK constraints, I actually used to recommend those because relaxing them seemed to be operationally safer, but re-reading the Postgres docs, it didn't seem like there was a particularly big advantage to them because Postgres is pretty smart changing types efficiently where possible. Is there another benefit I missed?

Interesting on the data warehouse note — we haven't actually implemented the domain idea yet (what's in the article is more musing about it), but it's good to know about this possible downside.
Yes it really is.
You probably are wasting your time - multi-billion dollar companies have abandoned native desktop development - pretty sure they decided it was just easier and cheaper to maintain. If you are doing this for fun or profit - you need to decide how much your time is worth.
I'm home-schooling my daughter in math because Zoom and it not agreeing with her. She did great last semester and tests several years ahead and has a very intuitive sense of why things work the way they do, I'd like to keep her interest.

However, we're now on to pre-algebra and using this book [0], "Prealgebra: The Art of Problem Solving". The first chapter is all about axioms, proofs of some sort, breaking down "obvious" conclusions back to their constituent proof-from-first-principles and it's not agreeing with her at all. Since this is the first week I'm struggling to find a way to have it all make sense, and I've concluded we need to kind of skip much of this first chapter (we'll look at the summary) and get to the later content which is more intuitive and applies "obvious" principles, and come back periodically to revisit the more mechanistic content in the first chapter. I think the parent post's description of exploring a topic matches how my daughter will come to understand the whole "algebra stack." (Wish me luck.)

> Companies will want it, but I'm not sure users will.

Explain to the user that a $10 / month in-app transaction is $13 or $15 because Apple wants 30-50% of every transaction, and I am pretty sure most Apple users will recognize this as plain extortion and not appreciate it.
Just tried this. I had to talk to a support staff on the website, and they made one attempt to offer me a lower rate for a year (which I declined).

In my opinion, it should be as easy to unsubscribe as it is to subscribe. I interpret anything else as consumer-hostile. It's very strange coming from NY Times ... I know they find it hard to finance journalism nowadays, but dark patterns are never the answer.
There is also an interesting solution to this problem: use native WebView, so you don't have to pack the whole Chrome with your app. Basically every "electron alternative" with HTML+CSS+JS works this way.

>If Epic wants to have their game on a phone, it makes sense they abide by the rules enforced by the company that allows the whole ecosystem

What about the sucker that bought the phone? why the company that created the device should decide what the owner can do?

Isn't ironic Apple prevents someone showing you a link to the product webpage and the explanation is that you are too stupid to be let opening a webpage from the app = will they remove the web-browser ?
It's just stark the difference between adults back then and the overly coddled people passing for adults today.
I wouldn't force anyone to do anything except pay his or her tax and especially not force someone to inject or ingest something inside his or her body against his or her will.

Remember what Abraham Lincoln said:

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

"Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves."
You're assuming that the Epics of the world will actually lower their rates the 30%. Epic could just as easily keep the same prices, but now make that extra. That's the issue I have with Epic's arguments. They might lower the rates by a percent to entice people over to their system, but over time pull the cable company routine and just up the rates each time it renews or new version.

The first picture makes me slightly anxious. That's really clear glass.

I'm not worried about people snooping; I'm worried an employee with a visual impairment won't see the glass and bump into it or worse shatter it.

There's film you can apply to glass that, when powered, will give it a frosted appearance. That's what I would use.
KrebsOnSecurity Hit by Huge New IoT Botnet “Meris”

Estimates for case rates among under 16s are up to 50%, half of them may well have had it already. They also fight it off fairly quickly and the vaccine doesn't stop you getting it. Add all that together and there rally doesn't look like a compelling case for vaccing kinds, at least in the UK.

We are rolling it out to 16-17 year olds, which happens to be the ages of my kids and both had their first shots about a week ago. There may be some marginal benefit for youngsters, but those dose are better deployed elsewhere. Over 17s are already well vaccinated here.

I'm not at all anti-vaccine, they've transformed the UK, but there's just no point vaccing under 16s. We're deep into diminishing returns with that, and those doses are sorely needed in many other countries.
Yep yep, I totally agree with that.

Obviously there are subjects where it would be extremely difficult (if not impossible) to express in a short format, and obviously if it requires it, then take the amount of space that you need. I think the goal should be "aim for brevity, but be clear."

One of my favorite examples of this are Ron Pressler's "TLA+ in Practice and Theory" posts. It's four extremely long blog posts, but it contains what feels like multiple textbooks' worth of information in there. By comparison to how long it could be, I think it's incredible how concise it is.

Looks nice but to be a Shopify alternative, headless is not the way. Does it come with batteries included so I can plug and play after a quick installation ? Headless makes me think that I have write my own interfaces which then is not really a shopify alternative. As a developer though, I like it.

What big names haven't developed iOS apps but may do so now? I'm hard pressed to think of any. They may not always allow in-app purchases, of course, but they generally exist.
The trampling of liberty I'm concerned about has to do with the Federal (central) government abrogating constitutionally mandated restraints on the Federal government and taking over powers that by law belong to the States. The 'right' to abortion is far downstream from the Constitution, whether you agree with it or not.

You generally can get a large fraction of the benefits of preparing for a rare risk of very bad events with minimal time investment. See for instance Rob Wiblin's nuclear war cheatsheet, which takes about 60 seconds to read:

It's not too hard to argue that something like that is worth re-reading, say, annually.
right, the merit in "Post apocalyptic meritocracy" would be the most equipped, most armed, most violent, and the most followed.
Sure, but if you are going to have a two party system that work together to disenfranchise any viable additional parties, having sacred cows ultimately hurt the country.
Does Arch support installing multiple versions of libraries?
Just off the cuff, I'd say specialists are important in some areas. But you won't get very far without generalists who can see the whole picture, and study to become specialists where necessary. In a new field, the right specialists may not exist.

I wouldn't say you need a medical degree to diagnose VR-specific biological issues. A lot of this stuff hasn't been particularly well studied so you're going to be discovering new things rather than applying existing knowledge. On the other hand optics specialists are very important; optics is very deep and existing knowledge is very relevant.
Just store the string "empty" and hope there are no nihilists who've changed their names to match. Simple!

This is really impressive work. Would be interested to know whether they plan to support ARM CPUs in their runtime engine (currently looks like just a few AMD & Intel CPUs: https://github.com/neuralmagic/deepsparse). Many IoT and embedded devices with application-class processors could benefit from these speedups.

It'll be really hard to convince people to give up the convenience and higher returns of online-only banks.

> I'd consider 70%+ market share a monoculture...Why do you not think that's a monoculture...?

And you'd still be wrong. First, because of the definition of the word "monoculture" [0] and secondly because Chrome is only at about 65% [1].

> when I regularly encounter devs who don't bother checking ANYTHING with Firefox?

Sounds about right. I'm one of them and I look forward to Firefox and Mozilla just up and disappearing one day because honestly, it's a dumpster fire of a browser and the culture at Mozilla is simply detestable.

Unfortunately that was the model I had in mind when I wrote that. I used it for maybe a month (I'm pretty sure), and my experience just wasn't as good as yours. It may be better than what preceded it, but it still drove me crazy. I came away with the conclusion that ASR as a technology just isn't there yet.

(and the conclusion that I need to prevent the return of RSI at all costs from now on. Don't get me wrong, I'm very thankful that talon does as well as it does. It was a job saver.)
That's not a shortcoming of Apple's system - every subscription I have using IAP has a way to tie to to an existing or new account for use on other devices. If the Guardian decided not to do that, that's kinda crappy and 100% on them.
I am really looking forward to the day that I can build cross-platform GUI apps in Red. Based on Rebol, it is a beautiful yet powerful language. They are always looking for more contributors, if anyone is interested.

Here's an example of what it could do on macOS four years ago: https://www.red-lang.org/2017/07/063-macos-gui-backend.html

Edit to add: You can build cross-platform GUI apps in Red now but, while they're very close to the finish line, and making progress every day, there are still a few missing pieces yet to complete on the 1.0 roadmap.
Why would that be the case? Can’t apps still use Apple as one of the payment options? If subscriptions are important to you, keep doing it through Apple.

Unless the discounts are significant I don’t see myself going through the 3rd party payments. I already try to avoid subscriptions anyway. But for one off purchases, it’s nice to have options. I think this is a modest win for consumers.
I don’t believe there are any Southern Hemisphere nuclear powers currently. Would northern hemisphere powers deliberately target folks in the Southern Hemisphere? If not, I expect most of them would survive.
I didn't direct any blame at anyone, although I do think the equipment provider was negligent in not explicitly making me aware of the modem. And there was no insurance involvement. I paid cash for the doctor and I paid cash for the CPAP. I could have reported it to my insurer so that it would have come off my deductible, but I didn't (mostly because I'm lazy, but also in large part because I only have insurance for something like cancer that would bankrupt me). I told my new doctor I didn't want a modem in the replacement CPAP and told her why, and was surprised that she really didn't seem to get it.
