That's what I mean. The solution there would be to get Logic to run "auval" before loading the plugin which ensures that developers don't do that. But for users of Logic doing that serves no benefit as it doesn't actually guarantee the plugins run more reliably, so it won't happen. And even if it did happen, there would be no guarantee that the stress testing tool wasn't also written against other ambiguities in the spec.

Edit: I also think testing is hard in general for plugin developers to use correctly. I personally would prefer to see plugin APIs designed in a better way that make it so it's hard to accidentally cause race conditions.
> There are records of every coin purchased that is staked.

This would be true if the only way to get the coins is through exchanges with KYC. You can get coins in other ways so this point of yours is moot.

> In practice, most are going to be using staking providers or delegated proof of stake, and these are corporations that will absolutely be corrupted by states.

We are talking about staking oligopolies not about someone buying 10 dollars worth of coins which makes this point of yours moot.

> Mining is anonymous and portable.

You should read more carefully. I did not mention miners but producers of mining equipment. Also, a nation state can produce mining equipment themselves, they can't create new coins.

Edit: To add, big miners really aren't that portable or anonymous.
> a lot more uncertainty than you might assume

There is also more assumed uncertainty than reality. In terms of degrees of espionage, modern PRC's intelligence gathering on TW is probably the most comprehensive apparatus anywhere. Every few years, minister level intelligence assets get exposed in TW defense. There is blind assumption and there is consensus for those that follow the space. There aren't any credible analysis that suggests TW has hidden nukes or can conduct breakout nuke development without PRC being aware.

> would they act

See edit of all the times PRC acted, with explicit prior warnings on when core redlines are crossed. It's not only precedent but interventions are near certainty. Respectfully, TW trying to bait PRC with false nuclear proliferation is counterproductive, just about the only consensus security council states and current nuclear powers have is they don't want more mid-tier nations getting the bomb. Of all the reasons the PRC could get away with attacking TW with relatively little cost, stopping nuclear proliferation is at the top.

The answer is "too much overhead" but the overhead isn't coming from where I assumed it would. I thought it could be too expensive to pass the required amount of data through the kernel (at least 48000 samples per track per second), but that's not the problem, it turns out it's the context switches. Huh.

edit: I now also remembered that virtual memory is a thing and you can share a chunk of physical memory between processes to avoid the need to copy anything at all.

>Drunk driving is a crime

In someplace like Texas drunk driving is only a crime in limited circumstances, like driving in public. You could go to somewhere private, like an employer's private gated parking lot that is accessible to 100 employees but not the public, and you could not get a DUI. By the same token that it would be tyrannical for drunk driving to be a crime on private area of private property, it is quite tyrannical to enforce covid vaccines on facilities with 100 employees voluntarily engaging in employment on private property.

OpenBSD's Pledge and Unveil from Python
Indeed, it is quite ridiculous to lay the blame for this on an open source project. They did not force Microsoft to use their software and deploy it to all their customers. It is entirely Microsoft's decision to accept software that waived all warranty, liability, and guarantee of fitness for purpose and then deploy it to all of their paying customers without doing appropriate due diligence.

Any company in any other field that accepted dependencies without doing quality checks to verify that those dependencies met their requirements would rightly be called grossly incompetent. This is one step further than even that as the dependencies openly guaranteed nothing and they still did not verify if it was of acceptable quality before making vast amounts of things depend on it as a critical component. This is the absolute basics of the basics and Microsoft has completely failed at even that. This is indicative of deeply-rooted gross systemic incompetence in much the same way that failing FizzBuzz demonstrates a complete lack of programming ability. As such, their opinion on matters of security and their ability to deliver security should be completely disregarded until their organization is completely overhauled.
It's not "fear" of what could happen. It's the recognition of what is happening and what did happen. What you're engaging in is called "denial".

Years ago, at a community college I worked for, we used a software stack that used misc. non-standard port numbers.

Rural households using the satellite Internet providers HughesNet and Wild Blue were unable to access the affected sites. In addition, the firewalls at the state prison and the local National Guard base also blocked access.

One of the issues for our affected students was that they could not register nor add/drop classes.

Just an anecdote to suggest that there may be undesirable consequences to using non-standard ports for a website.
Wow, this is way beyond what I expected. Josh consistently illustrates and explains these concepts extremely well. I really enjoy it.

I hadn’t considered the idea of colour matching to simulate raytracing. It looks great, but I’m not sure when I’d have a product to work on which would be complimented by this treatment. Maybe I work on boring stuff. Perhaps if it was done with enough subtlety I could get away with it.

I also wonder if it could become troublesome if you had nested ColourWrapper components. I suppose the most recent wrapper would take precedence, or it could be designed as such. Maybe I’ll give it a shot.
That would create temporary disruption, but how would it have any long term benefit, once cars started having navigation as an option again?
His point was that two processes can result in the same outcome when dependent on more factors than just the quality of the process. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't use the better process, just that it does not guarantee a better outcome. Only a better chance of a better outcome.

Though, based on the actual data we have, his numbers aren't bad for cases, and would need to be shifted to a dice with a lot more sides than a d20 for hospitalizations and deaths.

147 US Senators and Representatives voted to throw out votes for US President from two states [0, 1]. 8 senators and 59 representatives lied to congress in writing [2]. The outgoing president lied to everyone saying that the election was stolen.

> I don't trust either color. But this idea that it's the Reds who are naive is, in the context of the current admin, biased and unfair.

My idea is based on my experiences with some of my "red" relatives. Examples:

1. One elderly relative refused the covid vaccine. The reasons they told me include: fear of side-effects, anger about "they're requiring vaccination for everything", and an intention to take hydroxycholorquine and ivermectin as treatments if they become infected. They also claimed that their doctor told them to wait on getting the vaccine "until we have more data on its safety". (Their doctor did not tell them this.)

2. Another elderly relative watches Fox News every day. Half a year after the election, they believed that the outgoing President won re-election and will take office soon.

3. A middle-aged relative believed that masks do not reduce covid transmission. I anticipated the December wave [3] and sent them masks to use during their Thanksgiving holiday travel. They did not use the masks. A few weeks later, their entire family got covid. They all recovered.

Fair enough, there is probably some overlap there.
Nix isn't an OS, Nix is a build system, sort of like Bazel. The way you use Nix as an OS (NixOS) is to make Nix build an OS for you. Every time you install a package or whatever, that's just an incremental recompilation.

So say that you need to make a Docker container running nginx hosting a static website that you build with Jekyll. At a high level you'd write a Nix file like (very much pseudocode):

with
let site = buildWithJekyll src={"./src";};
let mynginx = nginx {
wwwroot = site;
};
docker.buildLayeredImage {
inputs: mynginx,
entrypoint: "./nginx"
}

Nix will run Jekyll to build the site, hash the build output and "site" gets that path. Then Nix takes Jekyll and writes a configuration file that sets wwwroot to the Jekyll output. Then Nix builds a container that runs nginx when it starts. If you just change the Nginx config it won't rerun Jekyll because it knows Jekyll's build inputs haven't changed.

Nix is a build system that runs other build systems. Comparing Nix to Debian doesn't really make sense, it's like comparing build pipelines to makefiles.
I signed up for HSBC a few years back thinking they were a good “international” banking choice for people with ties abroad. Sure there are (were) HSBC locations in other countries but they wouldn’t treat you any different than a stranger on the street unless you had $100,000 in accounts there. Their international transfers and account opening services were very meh.

Around the same time, I adopted Transferwise (now just wise.com) which offers faster and cheaper transfers, and account-like functionality (holding a balance in different currency to avoid rate fluctuations and access to native bank transfers) which is exactly what I wanted HSBC for but light years ahead. Wise.com is still what I recommend for frequent travelers, expats, sending money to family, etc.
> <easily adoptable green tech> isn't perfect so why bother

Going to stick my neck out here. IMHO the people overzealously pushing green tech when it isn’t suitable isn’t helping.

It just makes people skeptical when these zealots are the face of green tech. People aren’t stupid, they can see that these zealots are only interested in pushing green tech and don’t really care about their needs and wants.

To some extend this bleeds over and tarnishes the reputation of the climate movement.

We need a realistic view of green tech use - not an evangelical one - where its limitations are acknowledged and taken into account when considering for deployment.
Make sure you're not bringing in superfluous dependencies. Use nativeBuildInputs (like devDependencies) when appropriate rather than buildInputs (like dependencies).
I'm in the funny position where - on multiple occasions every month I think - I can tell people that (think for example frontend, backend, evolving code over time, actually agile development) and on multiple occasions others can do the same to me (think infrastructure, project management).

That said, even when I worked with certain Class A's mentioned above I was happy to take advice as long as it could go both ways.

Ugh. Talking about the same thing over and over and over again for decades, with 5000 different books and gurus and TED talks about it does not yield ANY insight whatsoever. In fact more and more information = more noise making it even harder to find the few things that do work.

Its a tragedy how the model fails utterly at building frameworks to think about things, instead just popping out endless cliches or tips. There's a reason anything you learn in college is structured and professors work hard at defining course plans - it builds up a framework, piece by piece, making sure you understand each piece before moving on to the next. The framework lets you reason about X in many contexts. The framework for productivity is not all that complicated.
... yes, as I said, the purpose is to inform further research based on it, because the reports showed a suspicious pattern. How is that relevant to the thread here with the "the vaccine killed 15000 people, because there is 15000 reports in VAERS" claim?

Waterloo internships last 3.5 months. 16-18 weeks. That's ~150-200% longer than some other schools summer internships.

Computer science students graduate with roughly 2 full years of work experience at 6 different orgs. Not including any extra curriculars.

Waterloo load balances internships across the entire year. Each class of CS is split into four schedules. Students will study in the summer and they will do internships in the fall and winter.

Many, many big companies offer internships to Waterloo coops students in the fall and winter. I'm not sure if other students are ever available at these times.

At Waterloo, computer science is a math degree and they teach students how to prove things. It's one of the first things they learn.

Also, we learn lisp as a first course in programming.

Hi! I built Screenshotbot some time back as a commercial product and it didn't take off the way I wanted it to. But I knew the tool itself was unique and something a lot of developers needed. So I spent time turning it into an open source project.

If you're looking at doing screenshot testing (android-screenshot-tests, Karumi/Shot, ios-snapshot-testing, swift-snapshot-tests etc.), I would love for you to take a look at this project and set it up as part of your development workflow. I'm happy to provide OSS support on GitHub. I want to make it a self-sustaining OSS project.

(PS. I'm also the original author of android-screenshot-tests, which is now the de-facto library for screenshot testing on Android, and that's how I got into this space)
