right and that... sucks? and is bad?

A lot of the passion/hobby newsletters I receive would not exist if the person writing them had to pay to send the emails. Adding a cost to distributing information does not increase the quality of distributed information, it just increases the percentage of information distributed that is trying to make the sender money.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the article. Are they talking only about marketing newsletters or just any kind of mass-emailing? Because sure, I'd support adding a toll to sending marketing emails. If your intent is to sell something, it should cost you some money to advertise.

The French tax office for example has created a programming language in which the legally binding tax code is defined.
this is definitely on our radar! We didn't do any major work on artifacts / assets as part of this effort but there are a bunch of backlogged items, including individual hashes, that we would like to do in the future.
I find that the courses on Udemy are very amateurish. I was following a course, what the guy was saying was wrong, I was seconding guessing myself and then towards the end of the course he corrected his mistake.

Coursera and Pluralsight are much better at least they have some quality standards.
My 0 key is twice as big as the rest of the digits.
These things aren't magical. You will have some downtime because your connection to the database will be interrupted (after all, it just died, no way around it), and depending on your configuration, you may lose some data; you need at least one synchronous replica to ensure that no data is lost on an uncontrolled failover. If you have a two-node "cluster" with synchronous replication, then either one going down will stop writes on the master, so you would need at least three nodes.

Mind you, no clustered system can provide you zero downtime and zero data loss without essentially the same constraints. If you have an unplanned failure, there's going to be a blip somewhere. It's up to the rest of the system to recover from it gracefully.

When configuring any kind of cluster involving data (especially one that's supposed to recover automatically from faults), make sure you understand how it behaves and adjust for your application, because quite often the default configurations might accept some data loss in unplanned failover or conflict scenarios.

My 900W per server number comes from experience with “hyper-converged” infrastructure where each 2U node has two filled CPU sockets, gobs of RDIMMs, and is stuffed with flash-based storage.

I think this is the most common “enterprise” datacenter server type in 2021, mostly due to licensing constraints from VMware/Microsoft/Red Hat/Oracle/etc. Such servers give the most “bang” per dollar when licensing costs are included.
You can always assign them to rooms even if you just have one room. But I think groups would work for your case. Like say put all your actual lights in the actual group. And then say “turn on actual lights.”

Scenes..I can’t really figure them out. They seem way too complex for what I want to do, which is to turn things off and on.

I'm a child of the 1970s, and in those days, books about ancient aliens, the pyramids, atlantis, etc. were everywhere. But even then it was apparent--stated more or less explicitly--that the base notion was the ancient peoples were incapable of coming up with these ideas themselves.
Siri sucks because it does t understand what you are saying at all, not because there aren't a million things hooked into it.

Sixes support exists upstream, but it seems nothing builds using it by default.

Ironically, you can make a better sound isolation barrier using modern building materials than you can with concrete. Mass-Air-Mass. Basically, with a normal “stick built” wall with two layers of sheetrock on both sides, you can get upwards of 60Db of reduction. Make it two decoupled walls (no sheetrock between, mind you), and you can get 80Db. That’s enough to play the drums without waking a baby in the next room.

Oh, and normal concrete walls are outright dangerous in an earthquake of any magnitude. They’re too stiff.
The wonderful "Inside the Apple IIe" by Gary Little (https://archive.org/stream/InsideTheAppleIIe) has a program to digitize audio from the cassette port on the Apple IIe. It's an excellent demonstration of the versatility of the hardware and something I'd recommend to anybody who has a physical Apple IIe to play with.

> the weekly gripes about Python/MATLAB/R

At the cost of repeating the old Bjarne quote for the millionth time, you hear complaints because those are languages that people use in their day-to-day. If only Julia were more popular, you'd definitely see it get caught in the crossfire.

Also worth noting that in terms of intended audience Julia is more like Matlab and R than Python, most of the more abstract part of the discussion would likely apply to Julia to a lesser degree.
Encrypted Time Machine on Mac OS is a good start. By no means a perfect solution, but it's free if you have an external drive (even an older one). If the drive is clean, the setup process will take under 5 minutes. I just run it once a month, putting an event in calendar to remind me to do the next.

If money isn't an issue, BackBlaze's options are interesting. Check out Arq backup too. Once you get either Backblaze or Arq backup, you can backup your backup drive of time machine images. Not terribly efficient, sure, but again, doesn't really require too much configuration. Minimizing friction for each step and trying to automate them are the best paths to success.

If this is a mobile device, iCloud for photos is a good enough options for most people. Yeah, apple's gonna scan, but so is Google Photos, or any other service that uploads images to the internet.

I really wish apple would do an E2EE time machine to the cloud one day! That would really unlock backups for a lot more less technical people.
youtube is better.
All vaccines are a FRAUD, that's because those believing in them just ASSUME an artificial method of triggering an innate immune system response will always match the real disease condition by the innate immune system.

Which the CDC never isolated and purified COVID-19 (also smallpox, polio and measles, etcetera... ) for what is or isn't the infectious disease condition. Go investigate what are the actual ingredients of vaccines to know the scam;

Pfizer: mRNA, lipids ((4-hydroxybutyl)azanediyl)bis(hexane-6,1-diyl)bis(2-hexyldecanoate), 2 [(polyethylene glycol)-2000]-N,N-ditetradecylacetamide, 1,2-Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, and cholesterol), potassium chloride, monobasic potassium phosphate, sodium chloride, dibasic sodium phosphate dihydrate, and sucrose.

Missing in their disclosure of ingredients is the proprietary graphene oxide, and other things like metals and parasites too. Ask yourself what is healthy about these ingredients? So what makes you think injecting unhealthy ingredients into your blood will make you healthy for it?

The innate immune system isn't limited in defenses with only antibodies, especially 1 type of antibodies compared to the COVID-19 spike protein jabs that are specific.

The innate immune system protects you in multiple layers, multiple ways, and if anyone even bothered to check which antibodies the innate immune system produces, from the exposure to COVID-19, they would prove it and therefore know it that these antibodies are IgG and IgA types that are made from past memory of exposures, and not IgM that is produced without prior exposure.

So, how do you explain COVID-19 being novel and new, when the innate immune system already has developed antibodies from past exposure for it?

If your immune system got exposed for the first time, your innate immune system would be producing IgM antibodies, in case you didn't know this.
Is it really blame if it's simply a technical deficiency?

I imagine that if I put 10 iPhones on a desk and say "Hey Siri", that wouldn't work out too well. Doesn't mean we have to start "blaming" people, companies and things.
Logical for AWS or logical for their customers? Frankly probably not either way. RDS excels due to it deep integration with AWS proprietory block store. If you want your data in PVs RDS dose not offer enough, if you want you data on RDS then K8S scheduling wouldn't add much.
I run a company that sells courses. We've built our own audience, which is what makes this possible. We hire instructors with the goal of working with them in the long term. (Basically, for them, our goal is for it to be the perfect part-time job.) I would recommend looking for a publication in your niche that also runs courses, and approach them about the possibility of hiring you. You could also approach an established publication, and offer a partnership, in terms of establishing a course-based business. Don't look for a platform, look for a company that you can have an actual relationship with.

How do you do Time Machine backups without ongoing effort? Do you backup to a network drive or something like that?
I reject that premise on functionality. I doubt anyone would be happy losing all of their financial records, photos, personal correspondence, etc.

If digital records aren't your long term secure storage, then what is? Paper printouts? With "really important" ones in a safe or safe deposit box? That is much harder to manage - for backups, organization, and retrieval - than having a digital source of truth and a few redundant backups.

And honestly once you're getting into someone "less able, cognitively impaired, or perhaps very young" to the point where they can't even manage productized cloud solutions, then they really need someone more capable that's involved in managing their (digital) life.
Weird to blame the lockdowns when the real cause was the pandemic. It's not like everyone was going to continually working normally in crowded spaces with people dropping like flies in the hospitals. China especially was hit so incredibly badly in that first wave; it was always gonna go pear-shaped no matter what.
I would say 2600 is more counter-culture / anti-authoritarian / political, and Phrack is more just about the technical stuff. To give a recent example, 2600 gave their support for BLM:

https://www.2600.com/node/37570

Which lost them a bit of support (although perhaps gained some as well?).

2600 is also pretty good at never missing an issue (quarterly), and also runs actual prints.

If you are an employee, usually you just have to approve it on the internet, since it's taken directly, every month, from your salary.

Even as a freelancer, it usually takes me 10 minutes on the web to fill my yearly taxes nowaday. It used to be way longer, with queue at the tax offices, real papers to fill, etc.

But I do have a very convenient status, administrative wise.
I wonder what "insecure connection" means. Does that include `http://localhost`?
Why bcrypt over argon2? Just curious since I've been working on something with password hashing recently and had to look into this. Probably doesn't matter for a small thing like this, but just curious.

Nice work though, I was recently using sqlx and gorilla mux and I have to say that sqlx is great (although I do prefer the Rust version, but I believe they're unrelated).

Setup OneDrive or equivalent. Treat it as your file system - do not, ever save anything in any folder that's not a child of the OneDrive folder. Done.

If you're somewhat capable you could even set it up so the entirety of your OneDrive or equivalent is copied to another provider.
The energy situation in Europe and Asia is already ugly. The Indians only have about 4 days of coal at their powerplants, China has already had blackouts, and in Europe the price of natural gas is the equivalent of oil at $200 a barrel.

I once tried to buy a beer in a small corner shop. The beer was 2€. The minimum charge for card payments was 5€. I agreed to pay 5€. The shopkeeper refused to charge me 5€.

I walked out without my beer, sad, and wishing I'd remembered to carry some cash that day.
At the same time smart phones are also a great example for my point: Just consider soldered on batteries and the lack of software updates or in Apples case slowing down old phones.

I guess the reason why a lot of phones use gorilla glass is that the quality difference to regular glass is more noticeable and things like scratch resistance are a little more than just pure durability.

But I have to admit that my statement was of course somewhat hyperbole :)
Genuine artificial intelligence.

Some of the tax rules come down to "humans argued in court, and another human decided between their two arguments, because the law on paper was vague or poorly constructed".
Remote desktop with an HDMI (LVDS?) capture card, so that everything is in place. Alternatively, network mount the SSD once you get the encryption key and boot from that, syncing the blocks on demand. You can even show the 'installing updates' screen to do the HDD sync while it's 'updating'. No wifi connection? no problem - the planted one has an internal 5G modem.
> But once in a blue moon they are, so why not be cautious?

You have to balance the inconvenience of false positives against the consequences of false negatives. If the false negatives are rare enough, compared to the false positives, it might be best not to be cautious.

Still, in practice I am fairly cautious, and tolerate zero warning. When someone reports a warning to me, I always try to fix it. So in practice, what I do is fairly close to -Werror, with one big difference: if some compiler comes up with some new warning, or if a set of compilers are impossible to please at the same time, my users aren't blocked. Which is important, because new warnings are now overwhelmingly likely to be false positives.

That mismatch bound you just showed however does set off my alarm bells. I'll need to make sure I actually got rid of it.
Every economic forecast I read in April 2020 assumed things would be open by q3/q4 last year.

For large amounts of data over a slow internet connection, the overnight shipping option is the best choice. Using the web ui to get individual files for individual recoveries works, but it doesn't really help if you want to do some giant recovery (as you found out).
I'll argue it's still the same thing just with different subjects. The first is seeking knowledge about rust, and the other is seeking knowledge about an assumption.
>> While (very much in theory), a few cents won't deter the casual emailer.

Better yet. Require proof of work where the receiver sets the challenge level. Now you can whitelist people by offering trivial challenges for them. If you really want to email me it's going to take 2 minutes of CPU time - this will be done by the new mail clients in the background, so individual personal cost is essentially zero but bulk mail will require significant resources to send.

The self-publish course route works best when the instructor has a following on social media and can appeal to their followers (Twitter, YouTube or even on GitHub). Without followers in some form, course discovery can be hard via the self-publish route. That's why Udemy remains an attractive option (despite how badly Udemy treat authors as you say). It's a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation.
This is not possible yet.

We have related issues:
- https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/hurl/issues/87
- https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/hurl/issues/88

Running several Hurl files concurrently (and independently) is clear and we will probably add in the next few months.

Running requests concurrently in the same Hurl file will be more complicated.
The Hurl language has to describe a clear semantic about it.
re: survival in 50s.

I can't stand the jaded senior engineer archetype. They're absolutely toxic to the junior and mid-level engineers who look up to them.

Years ago i was at a coffee shop and overheard a conversation between a college student and what had to have been an assigned mentor. This guy was going on and on about the very worst of his experiences in his career yet, in a weird way, bragging about them at the same. This poor kid was writing every word down in a notebook she had. He got up to the restroom and i walked over and politely told her this guy is only filling her head with poison and to run as far and as fast away from them as possible. She got up and left.

That is why I specified "General Purpose". The moment you know something more about the data there might exist an opportunity to exploit that information to improve the algorithm.

Which is an interesting topic in itself. Many times I have met people who said with absolute authority "no, it is not possible to implement this" only to be confronted with a counterexample. And that is because real life is rarely about spherical cows in vacuum.

I have once implemented a transactional, log-based database for credit card terminal (20MHz ARM, 2MB total unified memory).

The read (get value for key) operation was O(n^3) which the reviewers decided is "ABSOLUTELY FUCKING UNACCEPTABLE" (their words).

The fun started when I asked them to suggest better implementation. They could not come up with anything even remotely as fast.

And the basic reason was that n was guaranteed to be small as there wasn't even much space on the device for any more data. Other than that it exploited fantastic read ahead capability of the device plus it was so simple (basically couple nested loops) that CPU cache could be used very effectively.

I remember their O(nlog(n)) was never faster and actually about 50 times slower in most operations.
> it’s dishonest and disrespectful the Jewish people

Is it? Bari Weiss, who I think is Jewish, seems not to think so. I happen to be Jewish, and I don't think so. An inopportune comparison, yes, but not malicious. A lot of otherwise highly educated people in STEM lack a broad knowledge of politics and history. The Nazi comparison is quite often literally the only one they have available! Certainly Abbot and his co-author would have been better served by an example that didn't directly precede a genocide – in my opinion, the most apt is what went on in the Soviet Union.
