ModSecurity is a module you can add to Apache httpd which acts as a web application firewall (WAF) meaning that it inspects HTTP traffic for threats and conditionally blocks requests from being processed. Threats are determined based on various rules you can write yourself or obtain from elsewhere. One of the more popular sets of rules is written/maintained by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Foundation.
Racket is awesome. If its your first lisp, then I reccomend working through a book. I had a great time with https://nostarch.com/realmofracket.htm

Does your institution have mathematica? In mathematica you can query WA directly, and it gives you as much (or possibly more, from how it seems to behave for me) computing time as people with WA pro subscriptions. I use it all the time for stuff like graphing complicated implicit 3d surfaces or doing multiple integrals, stuff where I know the relevant mathematica command but I would rather not type it out fully
I'm an American living in Tokyo, and it easily has the best quality of life out any city I've lived in.

- The public transit is literally the best I've ever seen, both in America or Europe. The main train line in Tokyo (the Yamanote line) stops at my local station ever 2-3 minutes during peak hours, and around every 5-7 minutes during the off hours.

- The streets are clean, safe, and well maintained. Unlike cities I've seen in America and Europe, garbage doesn't pile up in the streets.

- Service workers, partially in the government, have been friendly and helpful. Even when I didn't speak the language well, I've never had trouble at the government office getting something done.
Where is the "no multi-line lambdas" myth coming from? I see this one a lot and its wrong. Python's lambdas can have as many lines as you want.

Did you mean to say that lambda expressions can't contain statements? But no Python expressions can! But functional programming is all done with expressions anyway, to the point where functional languages don't even have statements, so what's the problem?
I have used numerous Pi-alternatives and the compatible distros are always a mess, not to mention finding support for why some package/GPIO isn't working is hit-or-miss. Try getting developers of a $10 board to patch bugs.

I have even spent more and used e.g. Asus Pi-compatible boards and it was always a dumpster fire - the last one I picked up was advertised as supporting 4K output, but getting it to actually work was beyond my capability, and when it did work, was topping out at 10 FPS. Writing to support ended up being a waste of time, all I ever got was vague answers as to why it should work without any actual solutions.

"Substantially cheaper and more energy efficient" - 9W max is already quite low[0] and cheaper? Pi devices are already pretty cheap, and the money goes to a good cause as opposed to cheap knock-offs where the money goes where? Also the cheaper you go, the less support you will probably receive. As noted by the link, StackExchange has a dedicated site just for Raspberry Pi questions. Good luck getting even close to the same level of information about any compatible boards, which probably cut corners by using sketchy hardware which may or may not be be patched in the future in their forked distro.

And what causes them to begin using it regularly in the first place? Do you think healthy people suddenly start regularly using drugs like alcohol, cannabis, or heroin after trying it once?
That's simply not true. I've practically never witnessed properly air-gapped section for smokers and the rest. Whatever you do, you come home smelling like shit and so does every single thing on you, usually also 1 layer below.

I find it so annoying that even in 2021 smokers and apologists even here tend to marginalize this issue which directly affects everyone else, and dismiss literally everybody telling them in the face how seriously fucked up that is.

When mankind has this mentality, how can we tackle bigger issues like slowly collapsing environment, when we can't handle something so trivial and provably bad on all possible levels.
most small acreage farms don’t need a lot of inputs. But what makes them less profitable is the cost of labour. Automating small acreage farms first makes so much more sense and it would benefit everyone.

Not to mention less reliance on supply chains and a reduction of food waste.

While economies of scale work well with Big Ag and commodity crops, for food and produce, if we have to implement Ag automation, we have to work with small acreage and not with already highly optimized mechanized big Ag.

It seems that Wolfram Alpha also has some difficulty figuring out whether I'm talking about raw oats or cooked oats, even when I use the word raw in my query. As a result, it can be off by a factor of 3. I agree that it's not useful if you have to carefully check the output every time.
When we lose the power to express our thoughts from a differing perspective, we have lost our powers of free speech. Facts are facts. They do not care whether we like them or not.
Right, the happy middle ground here would be to separate the security critical hardware from the fragile part which often needs replacement. It's unclear whether Apple repeatedly choose not to do this because of lack of incentive, lack of capability, or hostility towards repair.
Sounds like they want to turn my PC into something locked down like an iPhone and not risk me being able to “break in” to it via any of those class of vulnerabilities.

I know you can build or buy such a lamp. However, this requires a lot of effort on the side of individual students. Not everyone is a techie and can build/program this. Many might not know about those products or understand why they should buy one.
What we'll discover is there is a team dedicated to determining when to display the calculator. Then there will be another team entirely that picks how to interpret the query for website results. The two teams will never have met, spoken, exchanged information between the two. The team searching websites will mysteriously have never thought that someone might search a webpage for a math equation.
But presumably the attack wouldn't be replacing the screen -- which is what this workaround allows -- it'd be replacing the chip with one that you've compromised, because then you could have it let you bypass security.

Not to say that they won't find a way to get around that, just that the existing workaround doesn't create a security issue.

Good job, I've noticed that copywriting is a major pita when designing a platform with no good solutions atm. Unfortunately, I don't see how your service solves it (please correct me if I don't understand it). After purchasing your service I'll get feedback on my existing copywriting and a copy for one of my sections (how big?).

This doesn't solve my problem, because now I still need to write the copy for the rest of my site based on your feedback.

That's exactly why you virtualize, so you don't just have a bunch of small Pis being mostly idle but less but more powerful machines running a lot of virtual istances that on their own are also mostly idle but you can put enough on to put enough load on the higher-powered machine to be worth it.

In a data center they should have enough instances that virtualizing makes sense from the perspective of power efficiency.
If you want a Scheme that's embedded in another program as an extension language, or to make software that's distributed normally as part of a Linux or BSD distro... probably Guile.

For most other practical purposes... probably Racket.

There are a few other options I still keep in mind, including Gambit and Chicken.

(Actually, lately, the "Lisp" I'm using is Python. Python is usually tolerable, and the huge ecosystem and easy employability are nice in some ways. But Lisp technical sophistication and community signal:noise ratio tend to increase with the percentage of parentheses. Not because parentheses are magical, though they are-- but because the parentheses Lisps are built on better original foundations, and then disproportionately attract people on technical merits rather than marketability.)
Well actually...

It's OK these days, in common vernacular, to use "begs the question" to mean something that prompts or suggests a question. It's really only in the context of "Philosophy 101" (where the meaning is the logical fallacy of the premise assuming the conclusion) that it should not be used that way.

If you're going to get pedantic on the Internets, you better be prepared to go all the way down. :)

I don't know. Int -> String could be bad if the algorithm that calculates the value of the string is bad. But anyway I suppose I don't like changing the use of language where "unknown" now becomes "unsafe". Unsafe to me means that I know something about it. If I know nothing about it then it is neither safe nor unsafe. It's just unknown. Why not call it that? Otherwise we have two words for the same thing and have made our language more imprecise. (Alternatively if we take the attitude that something unknown could be good then we could argue that we call it safe).
My main beef was with using the stock market to grade a president. I was giving the example of Coolidge because the 255% increase was followed by a 90% decrease, which should also be attributed to him (if we're using the stock market)

I'm highly skeptical of the "very good president" claim too.

"Although the public liked and admired Calvin Coolidge during his tenure, the Great Depression that began in 1929 seriously eroded his reputation and changed public opinion about his policies. Many linked the nation's economic collapse to Coolidge's policy decisions. His failure to aid the depressed agricultural sector seems shortsighted, as nearly five thousand rural banks in the Midwest and South shut their doors in bankruptcy while many thousands of farmers lost their lands. His tax cuts contributed to an uneven distribution of wealth and the overproduction of goods. Many Americans were deeply in debt for having purchased consumer goods on easy installment credit terms."

"...Nevertheless, scholarly opinion looks upon the Coolidge presidency with skepticism, ranking him relatively low among American chief executives in terms of his administration's positive impact and legacy."

Not really true. The harm from tobacco has been known for centuries. Epidemiology didn’t mature enough as a science to provide good evidence for harm until the 1950s.

> In 1602 an anonymous English author published an essay titled Worke of Chimney Sweepers (sic) which stated that illnesses often seen in chimney sweepers were caused by soot and that tobacco may have similar effects. This was one of the earliest known instances of smoking being linked to ill health.

> In 1795 Sammuel Thomas von Soemmering of Maine (Germany) reported that he was becoming more aware of cancers of the lip in pipe smokers

> In 1798 the US physician Benjamin Rush wrote on the medical dangers of tobacco

Why no one talks about high IQ and very homogeneous society?

Having a coehesive culture, high IQ makes a country goals easier to attain.
> Well, this isn't about individuals though, it's about groups.

Sure. I was talking about individuals in that sentence setting up for a later pivot to groups.

> groups have legitimate political and material grievances against one another, not just "narcissistic" ones

Yes, this is a thing I also agree with. And basically said. I don't get why you're writing as if you're contradicting me.

> Well, that's the case with the North too,

In some ways with some groups at some times, yes. But that isn't proof that group-level narcissism doesn't exist. Indeed, it is evidence for it.
The parties to the frauds may be different than I understood. That’s part of good crimeing ;-) I’m not in the trade, and don’t know how people distinguish networks, from resellers, from publishers.

Full credit to you for this. My only quibble is that "narrow" should be "wide". But all of the rest of your points have been enjoyable to think about and hold a lot of important truth.

But at this point it's Google's problem, moreover, a problem it inflicted unto itself, especially since they make people jump through all the hoops and organize long, multi-stage interviews, complete with tricky questions, specifically to make sure they find people who really know their shit and weed out con persons.

I mean, you know and I know that passing exhausting interviews and actually doing work are two distinct skills (I, for one, blanket refuse to apply for any and all jobs where there are more than two interviews), but it seems that some large companies think they know better than that. Well, they can cry me a river.

All I know about OKRs comes from when the last company I worked for (a YC saas company) got all excited to implement them. They said teams would be empowered to meet the objectives they were given by leadership. The goals were audacious, but we were supposed to get excited by the challenge and freedom of working toward them as a team, doing whatever we felt was right to get the job done. Each team then got together and figured out a plan to do that: what to build, how to build it. Then leadership decided they didn’t like our plans, so they just told us what we were going to build instead. In the end, it ended up being completely top down and, ultimately, ineffective.

I don’t believe that’s how you’re supposed to run OKRs: My point is that these tools are as easy to mess up as any others, and will fail if there are deeper, unaddressed problems in the org that aren’t solved first.
I'm actually fine with those "freedom lovers" not having to wear seatbelts or helmets, as long as EMS and doctors are free to leave them on the road.

He could just donate the money without trying to micromanage the project. That would help fix the housing shortage just as well.
What a crazy way to do billing though. At larger scales (more rows, more customers, more queries) the costs become absolutely insane.
None of those would be affected by a factory reset though?
What you wrote is different than what I do; use what works for you.

For me, each objective gets one explicit measurement and one explicit timebox. And the key results can be a simple list of a few highlights that bolster the objective.

For me, an explicit measurement and explicit timebox both work better than implicit, because teams can be on different metrics and cadences-- such as engineering teams using uptime metrics for quarterly OKRs, VP teams using cashflow metrics with yearly OKRs, and launch teams using user metrics with target date OKRs.

It would be interesting to see what the size to interpreted weight ratio is.

By that, I mean keep increasing the weight of the larger object until they feel equal. Try that on several different sized objects to determine if there are cutoff points where the illusion disappears.
Why not write a simple service that tracks various stats (like number of users, requests, etc.) as well as billed costs over time?

You could then get various interesting stats in real time as well as some pretty useful alerting.
Although I'm a language traditionalist at heart, this is a reasonable point. Nevertheless, the site does suffer from a number of unquestionable copy-editing errors, which do not inspire confidence in the product -- given that it is entirely focused on website copy.
I've been able to use Racket to build an option trading application (https://github.com/evdubs/renegade-way). The included GUI and Plot libraries have been really nice to use.

With Racket, I miss having real threads and rich "batteries included" data structures as you'd find in Java and C#.
If I understand this correctly, this leaves the options of either keeping the existing chip that knows your face but isn’t backdoored, or replacing it with one that is backdoored but doesn’t know your face.

If so, I think it would slow down the NSA. They would have to figure out how to add a new face to an existing chip and, ideally, keep that hidden from the phone’s owner.

One aspect of Tokyo that is really nice is that many areas of the city are really organized like small villages.

When you live in one of those, the 'big city' feeling that you might experience, say in one of the European capitals or in N/Y is completely gone, and it feels really good.
Nice feature. I like the questions. It doesn’t tell you what you can do about burnout though.
My company runs a cloud service for ClickHouse. We've spent a lot of time thinking about pricing. In the end we arrived at (VMs + allocated storage) * management uplift + support fee.

It's not a newfangled serverless pricing model, but it's something I can reason about as a multi-decade developer of database apps. I feel comfortable that our users--mostly devs--feel the same way. We work to help people optimize the compute and storage down to the lowest levels that meet their SLAs. The most important property of the model is that costs are capped.

One of the things that I hear a lot from users of products like BigQuery is that they get nailed on consumption costs that they can't relate in a meaningful way to application behavior. There's a lot of innovation around SaaS pricing for data services but I'm still not convinced that the more abstract models really help users. We ourselves get nailed by "weird shit" expenses like use cases that hammer Zookeeper in bad ways across availability zones. We eat them because we don't think users should need to understand internals to figure out costs. The best SaaS services abstract away operational details and have a simple billing model that doesn't break when something unexpected happens on your apps.

Would love to hear alternative view points. It's not an easy problem.

Or maybe the only way independent companies can undercut Apple is to use sub-standard replacement parts, such as screen glass which isn’t toughened. In my experience this is very common. And it means that people who are prone to breaking their screen get replacement after replacement after replacement — ultimately costing them more.

This exact scenario has happened to two close friends and I’ve heard of it occurring with other people. Replacement screens break easily and the cost of the first and second repairs is more than one repair by Apple.
