I agree, and that only reinforces my point! With the exception of buying home which is almost impossible to buy with cash, everything else would really hurt if one had to give cash for it! And I bet that a lot of financial waste would be no more if one had to count the bills for vacation, then for car loan (BTW, I bought a car outright), then for Netflix/Amazon Prime/whatever monthly subscription etc.
Filling out tax forms and FBAR requirements were a pain.
> backup testing protocol you recommend?

Just the naive way you'd restore a backup. Spot check restore files. Nothing crazy technical or unintuitive. Make sure the darn thing works every once in a while.

This perspective comes from talking to a tap backup operator at a major visual effects studio. Turns out someone somewhere was backing up to tape for years and it was all garbage, but they didn't find out until years and years and jobs and jobs later when they tried to do a restore.
Say you are invited to your friends apartment in an apartment building, but none of the apartments have locks. So you decide to open up some other random apartments and look through their things, who is responsible?

Well, that used to be the mainstream opinion until a few years ago, when a lot of computer education switched to videos. I blame DHH ;)
Local CERT is sometimes happy to be a proxy, still best do anonymously tho
That comparison is a bit off though, because exposing the mayor's corruption doesn't put other people and their data at risk.
In those situations you get a third-party in for forensics, you don't typically ask the people who breached how large the breach is (why would you take them at their word anyway? aren't they incentivized to downplay, etc).

Thermal energy is heat. Not cold. Heat is being transferred from the retail cellar to the coolant.

The prosecution is right, they are paying to cool the retail cellar. But you can't produce cold, you can only remove heat.

The judge is MORE right, the argument that thermal energy is being stolen is not factual.

I don't see how this heat exchange could have been avoided. Why didn't the beer guy just get some more insulation?
Let me be clear, I mean technological and software competition. A duopoly between Android and Apple isn't it. For comparison, see the dekstop/laptop market, where there are many totally usable open source software alternatives to Windows/OSX.

Same here. We are pretty liberal with our child and YouTube yet keep tabs on what he watches. We use YouTube kids and the restrictions on normal paid YouTube and haven't had a problem yet.

> If you are spear fishing in shark filled waters

Like I said in my other comment, it's not about finding one specific guy. Picking a place where people live is a reasonable starting point for making a rebuttal to a general statement like that. I don't think pointing at Fisherman Sam is.

> And if I live in a place where there is very rarely lightning, that chance gets really low as well.

How low can that number go? The numbers I picked made consideration for some amount of variation in lightning. Does lightning have a huge variance?

It's important to have real numbers when you're making the claim that there are places where the lightning:shark ratio is multiple orders of magnitude lower than the average. That's not a claim you can justify by merely pointing out that the risks will vary by location.
I commented days ago about a state website that was returning all kinds of nicely formatted NPI in JSON from an API response, but the NPI was not displayed. I donned my black hat and other hacker attire and pressed F12 to open the browser's developers tools (a tool created by a shifty company named Google most people have never heard of), and there it was, plain as day, SSNs, addresses, etc. I closed the page and never touched it again. I knew what's happening in this story could happen to me. I knew my side of the story would rarely be told and that my fate would lie in the hands of a judge who views the F12 key with distrust and fear and a jury of my "peers" who are not actually my peers in any skill or know-how related to the case.
Ok. I added both properties over here in Chromium. It's really hard to tell since performance seems to be almost identical, but it seems very slightly less sluggish using transform than using zoom (using test of standing on one place and pressing left/right and observing the pan, then unchecking zoom and checking transform). Basically same though. Any variation might be due to element jumping around page due to how those 2 attributes work (easily handled with positioning or transform).

It'd be kinda surprising to me that Chromium would treat zoom differently than scale transform. I wonder if you just got the impression it was sluggish due to like jit warming up or something.
Missouri is not even remotely considered to be in "the south". At least not by those who live there or in neighboring states.
Is this the beginning of the War on Developer Tools?
The conversation here at this moment seems to be focused solely on whether or not it is complicated or costly to keep filing US taxes. This misses the point in that the US is the _only_ developed country to impose worldwide taxation on its citizens regardless of where they live. The only other country to do so is Eritrea and the US has routinely criticized them for doing so. Moreover, it makes expats ineligible for certain retirement savings in their country of domicile (as the US does not recognize pre-tax deductions for these investments, like those countries do not recognize investments in 401k’s). It also makes it challenging for expats to find banks willing to serve them because elf the added complexity.

All of this adds up to making Americans less attractive abroad than say Aussies or Brits, which surely has some negative impact on US competitiveness. And for what? Even the IRS estimates the savings in lost taxes to be a mere fraction of the costs of enforcement.

This makes literally zero sense. None. Cut your nose off to spite your face.
Software alternatives.
I know a US citizen who hasn’t filed in 34 years. I wonder what the penalty would look like if she ever takes a job in the US again.
What init system do the *BSDs use? Is systemd an option?
That product has been out for 5+ years I think (at least). Plenty of airless in low speed / farm type applications.

The real thing here would be high speed (65+) with good ride / noise.

Maybe launch on local fleet delivery vehicles first (ie, neighborhood driving etc) if there were some lighter options there? Service pickup trucks (light?).
> After I shopped a few other companies to see how our plans compared

Yeah once you start using a vulnerability maliciously to obtain confidential data for your own personal gain, even if its a stupid vulnerability, you're not really good-guy security researcher anymore.

If all you did was the bare minimum to demonstrate the vuln exists, that's cool. If after you do that you continue to use it to obtain confidential info for your own gain or curiosity, that's not so cool.

> Perhaps it's more difficult to hold yourself accountable than it is to assume that others who've found your shoddy work are malicious actors.

You literally just admited to being a malicious actor in the paragraph above.
TLDR: somewhat wealthy travel blogger renounces citizenship because FACTA Step On Snek, regrets doing so.

She was pissed that foreign banks got her non-US account balances and she has to report her husband's accounts because she's an authorized signer. Because nobody would ever abuse "have access to an account in someone else's name" to not report an account or income to the IRS...)

She's also pissed the United States government asked her to be fully paid up on her taxes and to straighten up her misfiled taxes (presumably because with FACTA, the IRS said "AHEM, these accounts you never told us about?")

What's next, restaurants expecting you to pay your bill before you walk to the parking lot? Your neighbors expecting you to return the tools you've borrowed and not returned in 2-3 years?

Sample of the melodrama:

> Every so often, as I’m going about my normal day, my thoughts flit back to my renunciation and I have to fight back tears

> If you live in the US, think about how it would feel to be exiled from your home. That’s what renunciation does to me.

Note the wording: "What renunciation does to me." Not "this is a consequence of me choosing to renounce my citizenship."

About the only thing I agree with her on: US citizens living abroad paying taxes maybe should have some sort of better representation arrangement than just "we'll toss your votes into the pot."

But my response is: "think about how it must feel to be one of the millions of black people in the US living in an urban area, subject to decades of efforts by your party to make every part of voting as difficult and cumbersome as possible, and have your vote count for little to nothing because of gerrymandering and the electoral college."

Domestic abuse is pretty "normal" too. That doesn't make it tolerable.
If you're doing something under the hood without disclosing it but calling it something else, it's a trick. It doesn't have to be nefarious, but you are tricking the user into thinking they are doing something which they are not actually doing.

This is like asking why if seatbelts work, we don't let people drunk drive (obviously drunk driving is more dangerous than being unvaccinated, not claiming it's a perfect 1:1 analogy, before people complain, just making the point that just because we have safeguards doesn't mean we can ignore the core issue).

Vaccines and masks work, but they aren't 100% effective. The effectiveness of vaccines is far higher if everyone who can be vaccinated is, as the protective effect is multiplicative.

There are people who can't be vaccinated, or who are at higher risk, and people who are just unlucky. They don't have a choice. They are affected by other's choices. The "personal responsibility" narrative is nonsense when it comes to communicable diseases.

That is when data oriented programming gets into the equation.

Classical ECS as it originally appeared on the literature is coding against interfaces, COM or Objective-C protocols style.

So yeah, one composes those interfaces together, there is no class inheritance, only composition, delegation, and a system is composed from a jungle of such components.

It is also a reason why DirectX is COM based, instead of basic Win32 calls.

This is true in a sense, but in practice the usage of languages follows a Poisson-like distribution. There are maybe a handful of languages used by maybe 80% of people, and then maybe a dozen or so used by another 10%, with the thousands of obscure languages used by a sliver of people. Many of those thousands have at best a single user, the creator of the language.

And there is a cost to supporting lots of languages, because a language isn't just a compiler that takes up no room or resources. For a language to thrive it has to have a community, a development team, good documentation, integration with other languages and development tools etc. These things take money and power to bring them into existence, and there really only are so many good PL people in the world. It's not a super huge community of people, and we're not exactly churning PL experts out of colleges. These days the intro to AI will be waitlisted, but intro to compilers will be sending out e-mails reminding students the course still exists.

And it's not like there are a lot of paid positions for PL devs anyway. If you want to work on a language you can find jobs at Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc., but if you want to work on your own idea then there's not a lot of money to be had. A couple have gotten lucky with startup capital (Eve, Dark, Enso), others have gotten corporate patronage (Elm), and others have gotten user patronage (Zig). But I don't know how deep those dollars go, and how many languages they can support. I'm not sure but I have a feeling it's not thousands of languages.
In real life, if you do it under false pretenses, you are. In this analogy the real-world version would be considered fraud.
Yes, and they need to do that based on the forensic data available to them, even if the answer is “we don’t know, it could be everything.”. Asking the person who caused the breach to explain the extent of your data loss is not an acceptable, or reliable, practice.
A closer analogy might be if none of the apartments had doors, would you be allowed to step inside.
That's not even close to the same analogy though. This would be like knocking on the door, asking if you can come in, and the person living there letting you in. Then getting mad about it later even though they let you in.

The unique thing about guns is that they're generally more effective at suicide than the other chosen methods. It's less about the speed of access people are mentioning, but more that when someone uses a gun to commit suicide it's more likely to work than other methods.

So it's less that guns increase the rate of suicide, and more that they increase the suicide rate to suicide attempt ratio due to their efficacy. Which, similar to the point you're making, means America probably has less suicide attempts to begin with than its suicide rate would indicate relative to other countries.
I don't agree that he's "doing harm to the reputation of the university and CS department." I notice that it's especially with regard to universities that this argument arises. If he were working at Cost Cutters, or Copps Foods, or State Farm, no one would think that his employer was acting wrongly in employing him. There is nothing about a university that makes employing someone with his opinions do more reputational harm. On the contrary, a university has more reason to tolerate his divergent views, because it is directly concerned with intellectual freedom and free inquiry, which often leads people to investigate and even advocate for positions that are incorrect and even immoral (which, I agree, a cursory look at his website suggests his are). That's what tenure provides in this scenario: protection for intellectual freedom, even when free inquiry carries a professor into areas that are disapproved of in polite society.

Sorry for the conversation pivot, but this attitude sucks and is terrible for climate change and was decided wholesale by suppliers. While SUVs are leading sales in the US, it was the decision by car manufacturers to discontinue sales of anything other than SUVs in the US. That you say, "well these wheels which would reduce waste aren't useful for Americans," they are partly not useful because the car industry here pushed through advertising pressure (and yes, due to demand in part) for that outcome, it's a coupled two way street. So, that same industry bears some of the blame.

Yep, this is the reason. Danny's initial code used Delphi with this convention. I'm not actually sure why that convention is used there, though. I remember asking Danny why, and I think his answer was just that was the Delphi convention. But it's been a while, so perhaps I have forgotten the details of his answer. I later had to migrate to C++ to integrate with the Windows build. And I retained the naming convention, mostly because it was quicker than changing it and I didn't have a lot of time. But I was always uncomfortable with the T prefix on the ramp class.
