If all true it is a very bad signal for .net

I have been primarily a Java/Go developer. I like C# as a language and have been actively following development of .net for some time with intention to play a little deep with asp/blazor for some side project.

If now Linux/Mac become 2nd class citizen I am no longer interested in the platform as no way I'll move servers to Windows and no near plan to change my dev machine to Windows. So better to drop .net as an option.

I was in school back then and had recently discovered email spoofing and thought of trying it with facebook email addresses and it would send the email message as messenger message from spoofed to the spoofee without it being visible on the spoofed's chat. It led to so many shenanigans over the holidays that winter.
There is a worker union and working conditions dimension in this story that is not being discussed. I specifically posted the LA Times’s coverage since as of this morning, the East coast papers — NYT and WP — entirely ignored that aspect and focused on set safety issues. (Variety, which is a trade paper) also devoted considerable focus to the labor issues aspect of this tragedy.

From the op:

But after filming began, the crews were told they instead would be required to make the 50-mile drive from Albuquerque each day, rather than stay overnight in nearby Santa Fe. That rankled crew members who worried that they might have an accident after spending 12 to 13 hours on the set.

Hutchins had been advocating for safer conditions for her team and was tearful when the camera crew left, said one crew member who was on the set.

“She said, ‘I feel like I’m losing my best friends,’” recalled one of the workers.

As the camera crew — members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees — spent about an hour assembling their gear at the Bonanza Creek Ranch, several nonunion crew members showed up to replace them, two of the knowledgeable people said.

One of the producers ordered the union members to leave the set and threatened to call security to remove them if they didn’t leave voluntarily.

“Corners were being cut — and they brought in nonunion people so they could continue shooting,” the knowledgeable person said.

The shooting occurred about six hours after the union camera crew left.

It’s worth remembering the other downside of Cassia cinnamon. It causes liver damage in higher doses.

The amount it starts becoming unsafe at is something like 1 teaspoon a day, which is a lot, but not that much when I consider how much I might put in an apple crumble or cinnamon bun recipe.

We already know big technology companies behave like cartels in other ways. For example there was the famous case of agreements not to poach from each other. In the end all they got for that was a slap on the wrist. All the workers were never properly compensated for it.

Would this method be able to grow single crystal grahite crystals if it were controlled tightly? A single of crystal graphite would have a lot of useful properties much like silicon. Because of its anisotropic strength it can be much stronger and more flexible than composites. Things like turbine blades could be carved from single crystal graphite.
I really like RSS as well, but my main problem is always the RSS "viewer".
I haven't found a single one I like.
I'd like to just add a bunch of RSS feeds and set "tags" that I'm interested in and get a notification about.
Let's say I care about "Telegram" if any of my RSS feeds mention "Telegram" or use "Telegram" as a tag; I want to be notified.
And I guess that requires a RSS viewer running on the computer and not a website based RSS viewer.
But yeah, not found a single good RSS viewer yet.
For the first paragraph:

Put your outermost container as

{
box-sizing: border-box;
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
overflow: none;
}

vw/vh are units based on the viewport width and height. 1vw is 1% of the viewport interior width, 1vh is the same for height. The border box box model ensures that padding and borders subtract from the interior dimensions rather than add to the exterior
dimensions.

You may also want to use <meta viewport> to control zooming on mobile devices: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Viewport_m...

Then you can use grid to divvy up that internal space without having to deal with the kind of rounding issues that using ems or %s used to have
You can learn Tailwind but it’s not CSS. You’d be learning a proprietary utility class framework.

> no one wants to lobby for collecting people's shit, while everything else goes full Star Trek.

Ironically in Star Trek, the food from the replicator is made from human waste or that's what they say in recent seasons anyways.

I am optimistic about the ability for us to recycle human waste despite the lack of popularity though. Most people have no idea what goes on at water/sewage treatment facilities and they don't really care. Even with no regulation or subsidy, it will eventually become profitable to recycle this waste b/c of geopolitical issues like you mentioned.

I'm pretty worried that we wont be able to cut back on consumption though and will end up buried in piles of our own junk.
You could pay them in other means, but there were constraints there are obvious constraints that I did not spell out. We are assuming a non-growing company that now needs to pay extra cash to you top up employee comp with cash. Your margin will start to shrink, and so does your earnings (the premise was no growth, remember), continuing the downward trend of your stock.

Plus, your competitors are not sitting still. People will go work for the more exciting companies even if you pay them equal amounts anyway (to vary their type of work and grow their careers) rather than staying and watching the thing die and doing the same thing for 30 years.

No I wouldn't. My DCI is around 3k due to me running around 9 - 11km every day. Which would mean 4 pints every day would only be a 3rd (not even) - and I eat a balanced / high protein diet. I'm not saying I drink 4 pints every day - but I am saying it's personal.

Maybe actors should take the same course hunters have to take. I'm not a hunter, but I took one for fun, and the first thing you learn is always to assume a gun is "hot" until you've checked it yourself.

I'm pretty sure someone wouldn't have an unschooled actor operate a motor vehicle. The same thinking should apply when they operate a firearm.

Filling in for the missing teammate is only part of the problem, though even that assumes temporary (possibly skilled or specialty) help is readily available for a short-term assignment, or that productivity can be scaled back without missing deadlines which in some cases are set years in advance and are essential for coordinating schedules with other teams.

No, the real issue here is that everyone is paying for this benefit which only helps a subset of the workers. Ordinary PTO—vacations and holidays—is available to everyone to use as they wish. Sick leave is only for those with medical issues, but statistically most employees will end up using it at some point and they all benefit from having that protection since it's (more or less) a random occurrence. But parental leave is not random; it's specifically tied to the employees choices, and some employees are not in a situation where it would ever benefit them. Logically, then, paid parental leave should be an opt-in benefit which employees pay for, not a default part of the general employee compensation package.
That's like saying kids should learn how to safely operate guns since they use toy guns and might confuse them for the real deal.

The problem would be if you hand a kid a gun, saying it's a toy gun and they aim and fire it towards their friends. This is basically what happened in this scenario with Alec Baldwin.
The car is already spying on you. I think the question is: It shouldn't be spying on you.

The data belongs to the car owner. If the owner wants to disable data collection, so be it. If anyone else wants that data, they can ask the owner for the decryption key and access to their car to make a copy.

I don't think it's even remotely reasonable for devices that we own to betray us. My car should protect me, not the manufacturer.
That’s why the MacBook Pro M1 has fans. It’s designed for harder workloads where you’re maxing out the cores (multi-core compilation, video encoding, etc) for extended periods. This was well-documented and discussed previously. The tradeoff is increased heat, power consumption, and fan noise.

Realistically, those aren’t typical workloads for most people, especially for 10+ minutes (and especially on an ultralight and portable laptop). So I wouldn’t lose sleep over thermal pads.
Both extremes can have it bad. A little compassion goes a long way.

With sanity in CSS, KISS goes a long way.

These are the 4 most basic tenants of gun safety.

You are expected to know them on any gun range, and most staffed ranges will safety brief / quiz you on them before they let you shoot.

In this case, they say industry SOP would be for 2 people to verify that the weapon is unloaded (set armorer + 1 other).
I'm sure some actors do. But a lot of prop guns have been specially modified to only take blanks, or take no bullets at all. It's going to be very hard for an actor to discern the difference between blanks, dummy bullets, and prop-gun modifications on a wide range of guns. That's why you have a licensed armorer on set.
Haha I like “usually” part, very honest.

I’m a backend engineer too and I learned most of this css stuff fairly easily in a few weeks without much pain. The truth is something like tailwind can get you to understanding 95% of css, just by digesting someone else’s editorialized model of it. You also sidestep a lot of issues with class-based nature of CSS, which just complicates the learning experience.

I can copy/paste an extremely complicated layout that I made in tailwind to an entirely different section of html or the codebase, and 99% of the time it just works.

Anyway I highly recommend to everyone who comes from a backend background to just learn something like tailwind. It’s basically css, just expedited and editorialized by professionals. When you run into gaps in the metaphor they’re easy to understand why they’re there, and you can easily add them yourself using their plugin system, which fit me just enhanced my own learning.
Reminds me of “ghost hacking” as pioneered in Ghost in the Shell franchise. Entire personalities and belief systems embedded into a person. The rise in parasocial relationships verges close to fulfilling the ghost hacking premise of implanting a belief in an entire wife and kid that don’t exist, or at least not as such. That franchise was a warning, but it’s also an instruction manual for a high tech dystopia that no one even realizes isn’t a utopia.

I'm not sure that unequal relationship between employer and employee is a feature of capitalism per se - even in a market socialist system in which labor receives all that it produces, any individual worker depends on their employer more heavily than their employer depends on them, so you still have an imbalance of power.

I also don't think it's really relevant here, since Google and Facebook employees are about the least coerced labor there is, considering that virtually all of them could another job earning an order of magnitude more than the minimal living wage in their area at the drop of a hat.
Those are the donations that were declared, to maintain a pretense of propriety. What sits in Panama, you'll probably never know. 150k is too low a price for that seat, particularly since the cash-for-peerages practice is now so old that the competition must be significant. Either there is more undeclared or this guy knows where the bodies are buried.
No one said it was "hard hitting sexism" whatever that is.
> I don't understand how that is supposed to justify financial mass surveillance.

No one's advocating financial mass surveillance - only surveillance of the 1% richest people and corporations.

And this is the rational results of generations of criminality, tax evasion, money laundering, and outright bribery of public officials from this group.
The server was probably running it was just flooded. Probably requires different type of checks to catch this.
Interesting articles saying that previous gun deaths in films are just one in 1915 and The Crow in the 80's. Which while no comfort or help to those in this incident does suggest it's not actually a prevalent problem and the current standards may be working.
It points out that percentage of growth is a valid and useful metric depending on the situation. As root comment noted, it doesn't matter much if it was very small, but that's not always the case. Additionally, absolute numbers aren't always useful for similar reasons, but affecting the opposite spectrum. A headline might note something has risen by billions, but if that amounts to growing by 5%, is that really any better of a way to represent things than growing a large percentage on a small amount?
Effortless Postgres Branching with Platter
Any cleaning component left inside a firearm such as a cleaning rod, or metal bore brush, or debris from a previous round, could be ejected as a projectile from a blank fire. Additionally, gunpowder is really an explosive, so parts of the weapon can break and be ejected. I think this is more likely to happen with an older weapon, or a weapon firing high power rounds [1]

Suspect that Hollywood doesn't use blank firing adaptors like the US military which leads to a much more dangerous situation. Believe they do this for realism.

In the US military we'd take a number of steps to avoid these kind of mishaps.

safe weapon clearing procedures & intentional firing of weapon into sandbagged areas for hazardous conditions

Team Leaders inspect fire teams

Squad Leaders inspect Squads

Platoon sergeants & LTs inspect platoons

Range Safety controls the whole show and may conduct their own inspections

Inspections include both weapons, magazines, and ammo pouches.

Our exercises never mix blanks with MILES gear, and actual live-fire exercises.

We don't fire weapons towards people at close range unless during warfare.

You can achieve that with a much simpler solution, look into RTMP.
My understanding is that the attacker can generate a relatively small amount of IP-spoofed traffic, which is then used to generate a much bigger amount of amplified traffic from servers the attacker doesn't control (i.e. not IP spoofed).

So you need to be able to handle:

a) the reflected volumetric attack (you can block IPs and even protocols/ports here),

b) a much smaller volume of IP-spoofed traffic, which for TCP services basically means you have to be handle a SYN flood (because if they spoof, they can't get a connection established to do the nastier stuff)

c) make sure you don't let your countermeasures against a) be triggered by b) in a way that disrupts your legitimate customers.

For a TCP based service, I'd expect the following to be quite effective:

1. At the very first stage (has to be able to handle the full volume, may be external), discard all UDP traffic, any TCP traffic pointing to the wrong port, and any traffic from blacklisted IPs.

2. At the second stage (has to be able to handle the IP-spoofable volume), terminate TCP connections using SYN cookies, and forward actual connections to the real servers.

3. At the real servers, any remaining incoming connection is coming from a non-spoofed IP. Monitor cost (TCP handshake, TLS handshake, authentication attempt) and successful accounts per IP. Block IPs that cause a high cost but no legitimate users, or an extreme cost and few legitimate users, using the stage 1 blacklist.

4. Optionally you can also aggregate information about successful logins and block sources that cause a high load at stage 2 and have few successful logins using a short-lived entry on the stage 1 blacklist.

UDP based services would be much harder since you don't have such a trivial stage 2, but for TCP, stages 1+2 should be something that you can buy.
