You can crash a whole plane by poking a small hole with a tiny bomb.

Put a bomb in a TGV, and you'll kill people nearby, but not in the other wagons. So it's not a particularly attractive target compared to say, a shopping mall.

Terrorists planned to derail one in the 1990s by destroying rails, they were thwarted beforehand. But even if they succeeded, TGV is designed specifically to resist derailment and not fold on itself like a regular train, so it's unlikely most passengers would have been killed.

That's not what the above comment said. It asked why didn't the academic paper discuss it in a manner that is attempting to cast suspicion on the findings. You discuss your own findings, quite frankly I'm not entirely sure their point. That Oxford shares the same country as this company? Is it somehow obligated based on this?
Yes, kind of like training, except it doesn't have a set agenda like a training session would, but is instead rooted in the circumstances of what's going on at that time.

I've never managed senior people, but for junior to mid engineers there is plenty to talk about most weeks. Occasionally there isn't, in which case it's just a 10 min checkin, but the weekly opportunity to raise anything is quite important.

Twitter will not actively remove bots and fake accounts because without the new bots their user base has been stagnant for years and probably declining really fast.

I am constantly surprised how many systems have no isolation when it would be easy and cheap to add.

For example, typical solar inverter systems don't have isolation between the AC and DC sides. That means any chafed wire can be deadly. They do at least have leakage detection, but set at a 300mA level, which probably won't save your life.

Considering solar inverters already uses high frequency switching inside the per-string MPPT boost converter, it would have cost mere cents to put two windings on that inductor rather than one and get isolation with no downside.

The cynic in me says manufacturers don't add safety features not required by law, even if zero cost, because in the future laws might be updated to require that safety feature, preventing reuse of hardware already sold, which is good for business.

I don't understand why Americans covet European long distance high speed rail.

Even a lot of the more recent European high speed routes were built primarily for political reasons and carry little actual traffic. The high speed line between France and Spain has just 2 trains a day.

In the US, the distances are so much greater and the population density so much lower that it just doesn't make sense apart from a few small regions.

Covet the Urban Transport networks, the pedestrian-friendly cities, the mixed use suburban districts, yes; but long distance high speed rail is one thing that just doesn't translate.

Arizona is famously good at water management. They require a 100 year plan and are basically completely non-dependent on the ever-shrinking Colorado River. If any state would have a plan for recycling and make sure this plan is done appropriately it’s AZ.
"quality"

I fully agree. The Slack model of having a different login per "server" is good for workplaces, but Discord is incredibly good for "communities", hobby groups, and other casual groups.

As suggested by another commenter here, a hybrid model would probably be ideal for Matrix, where you could log into different spaces with different accounts if you want, but aren't forced to.

I would go one step further and propose that you should be able to have multiple Element windows open, so you can have your "work" space or spaces in one window, and your other spaces in another window.

I do this with spaces too. But it occurred to me that I'm essentially abusing spaces to act like client-side folders/groupings of rooms.

Can you create a space that's only for "personal" use, if you are not an admin of your home server?

Spaces are a great feature, but I think clients will start needing to add grouping/tagging somehow, in addition.

> I have little knowledge of the log aggregation domain, but generally indices are great for read mostly loads.

Generally, you write and read to/from the same index in Elasticsearch. Where this falls apart is that you'll often want to change the configuration for an index based on whether it's write or read heavy. The main thing that changes in this scenario is the number of primary and replica shards (Lucene indices) for the Elasticsearch index.

Indices with a high write, low search workload will generally require more primary shards and less replicas. Low write, high search workloads require the opposite; lower primaries and more replicas.

The problem comes when you need high write and high search rates. Using a single cluster with lots of primaries and lots of replicas will overwhelm the hosts and you end up with terrible performance. The general pattern with Elasticsearch is to run two clusters. Index into one cluster, then use cross-cluster-replication (CCR) into a different cluster you run queries against.

There's an incredible amount of nuance to all of this. I've worked with many clusters and they all have different usage and configuration requirements. There's no magic formula for calculating configuration values; it all comes down to experience, monitoring, and experimentation.

How so? From what I've read, the whole point of the declarative API is to tell the browser what you want done so that it can do it without letting the extension actually touch any data.

If this doesn't work, then there's no point to the new API.

I made the trip from Denmark to Austria last year on the train. It was lovely.

We drive from our home in DK to Hamburg, loaded our car on the train (8:45 PM after having dinner). Slept comfortably in a cabin for the night. Drove off at Vienna the next morning from the train off to Salzburg.

It was a joy to

1. Not worry about packing light to lug around all the stuff in a airport, or to worry about checking in luggages. We have a 2 year-old. So, these things are a source of stress. We just packed everything we wanted in the trunk of our own car.

2. Have our car with us during the trip so that we got the freedom to go wherever we wanted to and not have to rent a car in Austria.

3. Pay less. The cost of the train ticket can be seen also as including what would’ve been a night stay at a hotel.

4. Sleep comfortably. No driving over night or sitting in a cramped airline seat.

I will happily pay extra for such car train trips. It’s a pity they very few.
Yup. Multiaccount is desperately needed in Element. Other Matrix clients (FluffyChat, Quaternion, possibly Nheko?) have it already though)... plus you can always cheat and just open Element in multiple browser tabs :)
It's not just tabs. I am in so many damn Discord servers and Matrix rooms that I want to be able to view, filter, sort, and modify them in a table. I want to be able to do bulk operations. I want to be able to tag them and group them into hierarchies, with a UI that promotes doing such things, rather than obstructs.
I have not. Just responding to the information that was available in this thread.

But that is better!

I'am a Developer of an larger custom modded GTA Server (Roleplay Server), with 500-700 online users in peak hours. The community is very toxic. In the beginning, we received several DDoS Attacks daily, so we decided to build our own protection. We are working with IPtables and IPSets, as you are. But we dont bother ispecting the contents of a packet:
Our users are logging in to the Server over HTTPS to a dedicated Server, which is protected by Cloudflare. Once they verified their identify, the Server sends a Request to the Main Game-Server, which then adds the User's IP (from which the Login Request came) to an IPSet. We setup IPTables to only accept packets from IP Adresses in this IPSet. When the IPSet is updated, the Login requests finishes and the User is connecting to the Main Gameserver. Also we are unsing UDP only for Game related traffic, so we completly blocked SYN and TCP related packets in our Hardware Firewall on the Gameserver Port (its a Hetzner Feature).
Since then, we had no more major outage, besides sometimes some clients are dropping, because an attacker clogs our 10GB line. Of corse, this can't hold against every attack, but so far this is enought to protect us.
Still no tablets. Why is that?

Except it's not. A natural conversation, that is. Crafting a TikTok isn't as trivial as responding to someone in-person. Maybe some videos are as effortless as they seem, but there's a ton more effort that goes into popular ones that I see than meets the eye. I'm not talking about cosplay where the performer has clearly spent an inordinate time on their costume, but the sheer amount of writing and takes and retakes and editing that go into a good amount of the content (on my FYP anyway. Maybe I self selected myself out of the "talk at phone while driving to work" corner of TikTok that is more conversational.)

If it was simply the short video aspect lending itself to feeling like it's a conversation that's driving engagement, Vine wouldn't have died the ignoble death it did. So imo there's more to it than that but it's definitely successful.

It is about content (imo) but that content came at the exact right time in humanity's history - during a pandemic when many people are feeling lonely, and a time when many people have their own smartphone and Internet is ubiquitous. The content, along with the algorithm surfacing it, is highly personal. While a video is obviously not personally made for me, the character in the video talks to me like it was, and that small delusion, makes the content highly engaging, and the short duration makes for more signal to plug into the algorithm.
Because people like to have everything (logs + metrics) in the same place. And probably Beats makes it easier to just ship everything in Elasticsearch (but of course this doesn't make it good)
There's one thing that I don't understand about checking keys in person. Since it's closed source, how do we know that WhatsApp is actually doing what they say they do?

You have to trust them that "if the keys are the same in-person, then you're safe". But it's completely up to their implementation which we have no clue of.
It depends on how you look at things. The Nordic Bronze age spread around the entire Baltic as well, and genetic markers associated with Finnic cultures appeared much later, and in areas further north and east.

However, as the article mentions, it's unwise to assume there is a 100% correlation between genetic markers and culture/language. The Baltic Sea region has been a trade hub since before the the first indo-european migrations into the area, and some genetic mixing must have been unavoidable.
