Regarding polio: I can strongly protect myself against future infections by getting polio or the vaccine. I'd prefer the vaccine.

Regarding chickenpox: I can strongly protect myself against future infections by getting chickenpox or the vaccine. I got the vaccine, my friend got chickenpox.

Regarding the flu: I can maybe protect myself against future infections for a short period of time by getting the flu or the shot. It's called a shot here because vaccine implies strong protection.

Regarding covid: I can maybe protect myself against future infections for a short period of time by getting covid or the shot. I already had covid so I won't be getting the shot.

Natural 'immunity' is totally legitimate and contributes to herd 'immunity' when it's realistic. Would I get the flu and covid shots if they somehow protected against all relevant mutations and could accomplish what the polio vaccine did? Yes, but only if we also give the shot to all the animals that may be vessels for mutation as well.
> Because if there is such a thing as good art, it's easy to tell which of two people has better taste. Show them a lot of works by artists they've never seen before and ask them to choose the best, and whoever chooses the better art has better taste.

This step of the argument assumes the conclusion. If both people answer n true false questions randomly, then with high probability (probability at least 1- 1/sqrt(n) ) one person will have answered more questions correctly.

This does not imply that either person is better than random.

FWIW it's really not clear that there's such a limit on the uranium supply. Could be 4 billion years with seawater harvesting and reprocessing, etc.

Meanwhile you can still buy DDR3 --- used --- from various shops in China, and it'll be 100% perfect and Rowhammer-free because it was made before the insane process shrinkages that caused it.

tl;dr: The data warehouse company used a pre-baked TPC-DS dataset and claimed they have similar performance to Databricks. Turns out if you use the official TPC-DS data generation scripts, you get much worse performance.
I wish they would just put their drivers in the package repos and ship with Linux installed.

Heh, I have another project that's recreating Basic and DOS on some level. Statement-oriented language, SVGA graphics. No networking, no virtual memory, no concurrency. Unlike its forebears, though, lots of RAM and disk, which changes many design choices. And memory-safe code as far as possible; no C anywhere in its dependencies. https://github.com/akkartik/mu

Teliva is basically providing better networking and disk support by compromising on the memory safety. (I'm back to depending hugely on C.)
I immediately smelled bullshit in the headline because surely they don't mean non-stop in the literal sense. An animal has to eat! But no, I was wrong, these birds fly 8+ days in a row without sleep or food (or a complete mental breakdown, presumably). Though I do find it odd the article doesn't discuss the food and sleep issue more.
> They would not categorically discard visceral human experiences that lead to say "thirst" or "hunger" or "anger"

Of course they wouldn’t. It would be too difficult for the average person to buy and they don’t need to especially since it isn’t really their goal to dismantle truth completely, their goal is to dismantle the values we hold as a society so that in the vacuum they may impose new values upon us. They do that under the guise of questioning truth. This is why I said that when you embrace their objective/subjective categories you are helping their cause. Once those categories are established and accepted by society it is simply their job to argue that the values they do not like are subjective and arbitrary, then people who have accepted the subjective/objective dichotomy will do the rest.
Not yet, but eventually! We’re focused on data in warehouses and transactional DBs right now, just to limit the amount of integrations we need to build to start. We definitely plan to integrate with application sources like Google Analytics down the line though. Upstream applications are ultimately the sources of data truth, after all.

I wanted to +1 what you said about “organizations that don’t have a proper data warehouse and dedicated BI staff.” At the end of the day, a huge number of companies (maybe even most?) don’t have dedicated data teams but still want to know be alerted about data anomalies. Heck, we at Metaplane even fall into that camp.
Your note above contains a lot of assumptions about what I think, and vitriol, words like steal, destroy, trash, etc. This seems to be something that you are emotional about.

Lots of people think it's immoral for neighbors to be able to micromanage the living spaces of other neighbors outside of basic safety issues. I'm not sure how you'd defend imposing your will on other people just because you can at any given moment. Who are you to hijack the decades and centuries that goes into a city, like you mentioned, and freeze it in time for your convenience, at the expense of others who were born into the same society you were. We're all here together, you can't morally just marginalize people you're afraid of.

I stand by my original statement that I think it's wrong for you to characterize everyone who doesn't agree with the way zoning has evolved in this country over the last 100 years as an interloper. We live in a democracy. These are fellow citizens, people who are just as important as you and me.

I'm not in favor of big developers or corporations or profits. I don't want to build a high rise or a factory next to your house. I am in favor of lots more real neighborhoods, as opposed to suburban developer big-box retail car centric sprawl. I am opposed to single use zoning.

If I had a magic wand I think that the way the Japanese do zoning is much better than the way it has evolved in the U.S. [0].

They are delusional. I confronted my father about not being in favor of basic democratic principles (67, I’m 40), he maintained he wanted freedom of speech until, after a few targetted questions from myself, he admitted to having limits to it. Same for the right to vote, which he defends fiercely, except for the people who are under influence, foreign or otherwise.

Such horrible people maintain a doublespeak even in their own mind.

This. I find that the vast majority of cases where I'd pay any attention to the dislike bar are just cases where people are getting dogpiled for whatever reason (whether they deserve it or not, or if anyone deserves to be treated like that on the internet, is another matter entirely) but I've heard reasonable arguments from people talking about tutorials and other informative videos that the like:dislike ratio is a convenient sniff test for if the video is worth watching.
Haven't had success using this where I want to, with vim & others.

I've been using dtach, which requires starting a program with dtach. But it's a very nice way to be able to run programs persistently & re-attach them latter. I've been able to stop using tmux & do most of my work from inside vim sessions, doing all my multiplexing & terminal sessions in vim, rather than needing to have tmux running vim.
Already a thing on Android. Google "Safety"Net API is used by many apps to verify that the system is not rooted or modified. These days it's combined with hardware attestation from the phone to verify that the installed OS is properly signed by the manufacturer and unmodified. So there's no workaround to using an alternative Android distribution, or rooting your phone, and still being able to use media / banking / other apps.

Of course using the bank website with the phone's browser still works...
Nice pun.
I'm not always very happy with the conflicts git rebase gives me.

For example when I try to bring an old feature branch forward, or when I have two private branches with a common history that I've touched on one side and want rebase to apply my history change onto the other branch, I'm often made to resolve a lot more conflict that seems necessary.

There are scripts like git-imerge that give some much nicer conflicts. imerge may not be perfect, but I think it shows there's room for a more clever algorithm.

I'd happily have a git rebase --full-resolver --wuauctl option that consumes a mysteriously large amounts of CPU time, if it saves me some manual conflict resolution =)
> It's an alarming sign of political and social rot

For some people, charity replacing government social safety nets is a feature, not a bug, since they want to control where "their" money goes. Sure, it sucks when you're not photogenic[1] enough to hit your GoFundMe targets, but look at the bright side: we'd have avoided wasteful government spending.

This is probably all correct, but man... this just isn't fun at all. This isn't why I got into programming.
Discrete stuff, 74 series, a bunch of 8 bit hole through CPUs, piles of CMOS static ram embedded in foam and alu foil, a bunch of 8 bit eproms, resistors and caps assortments, power transistors (2n3055, BD135), tons of fiberglass hole and strip board. Possibly a bunch of Microchip embedded controllers, And if I were worried about EMPs I'd keep a stack of ECC81s around. You can drive those straight of a bunch of solar panels if you're not too critical about plate voltage, but you'll need a beefy 6.3V supply for the filaments if you plan on building something a bit larger.

The rest of the parts you need can likely be salvaged from old junk.

One difference between this proposal and Rust enums (i.e. tagged unions) is that enums let you use the same type more than once with a different tag. Obviously Go doesn't have generics yet, but something like `Result<String, String>` doesn't seem like it would be straightforward as a non-generic type either with a type set, since you don't have any way of differentiating between which "type" of string you might have. I _think_ this might be possible with a typeset by defining a newtype for one or both of the string types, but I haven't used Go in long enough that I don't remember if newtypes will implicitly convert to the type they wrap or not.
You're right, it's the community and its actions that made the land appreciate. Surrounding dwellings and their occupants are just a part of that.

You can be entitled to inheriting the value that you and your parents created, wchi you'd somehow have to extract from the surrounding dwellings, the land of which appreciated due to your parents' good actions.

You are not entitled to appreciation of your land, because others in the community are responsible for it.

You essentially have these solutions:

1. let land owners keep the value created by others in the community, which works only if 100% of members of the community have a piece land, and it has to be of equal value. This inevitably eventually results in a feudal system of landowners and serfs.
2. Take the value of land appreciation from your neighbors properties and they take back value they added to yours. In theory this is is the ideal solution, but omits non-land owners who also contributed
3. distribute the value back to the community responsible for creating the value in the first place by equal share using a citizens' dividend collected by land value tax which captures all the misallocated value appreciation
To me, Twitter never really was much of a product per se. It's mechanics are so simple that it seems more like an enormous append-only log. I suspect they'd be doing much better if they had an ecosystem of clients, most of which would be better than the Twitter app only because they couldn't be any lamer, and focused on the platform as a global messaging plane.
I see what you're saying there, but perhaps look at it this way:

our comfortable retirement is dependent on a good crop of reasonably successful children being born now, or in the previous 5 years.

It benefits us that those children are brought up to be balanced, rational pragmatic people. Perhaps extended child care might be the thing that does it?

I suspect that five years is indeed too much.

However perhaps the answer is one year "off" plus cheap, good quality child care from 1 year plus?

> You need to include everything like: 1) mortgage interest, 2) property taxes, 3) insurance, 4) maintenance, 5) opportunity cost of down payment, 6) transaction costs buying and selling.

Factor 1 to 4 are all included (with additional profit margin on top) in rent so you're always paying for those regardless. As an owner at least you don't pay the extra profit margin on it to the landlord.

On #6, if you're moving very frequently then yes, you're better off renting. If you want to settle down, buy.

So realistically that only leaves #5 as a consideration. In the short haul it favors the renter but over a lifetime, not so much.

It sounds to me like ECC isn't being included in the DDR5 spec due to magnanimity so much as because it doesn't function without it. That ECC has become 'load-bearing'.

Does that mean we need an extended ECC to deal with critical systems that require additional robustness?
"Avoiding risky maneauvers" :) - reminded me of an insurance agent of mine who always quipped that motorcyclists are a claim waiting to happen... and his joke that there's only two types of motorcyclists, those who have been in an accident and those who will be in one.

People in general, at least in the US, don't really even register you as existing if you're on a motorcycle... it doesn't jibe with the typical car driver's frame of mind, which means - and you've already figured this out - the higher burden of staying alive/responsible is - sadly or not - on you.

Had a boss who rode his Harley every single day in Seattle to work and home, for 25+ years, no accidents. He was of the same mindset as you - no risky/stupid maneuavers and defensive driving. Turn your body/bike into a flashy/strobe thing if you have to, that gets attention... who cares if you inconvenience someone w/extra lighting as long as it saves your life and lets them know where you're at.

Take it out for a spin for me! :) Envy you.
Well, this is somewhat similar to how it is rare for a large email provider such as Yahoo, Gmail, etc. to mistakenly label all content from one of the others as spam, but not uncommon for them to make that mistake about small email providers. It doesn't even need to be a conspiracy for that to happen, just a greater concern for larger providers.
YouTube is such an awesome thing. The executives want to destroy it. The content creators and users are pissed off.

According to https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21102078-flint-settl..., linked in the article, Judith E. Levy is the judge in the case. The article should have explained that.
OAuth + OIDC only uses client-secrets when using the client_credentials flow, which is only for us with non-human software, or when a client needs to authenticate and authorize itself independently of any human user. When humans are involved you won't be using client_credentials, you'll be using 'implicit' or 'code' (preferably with PKCE) - but ONLY when the client can actually safely store secrets - so static-website SPAs simply can't.

While non-human client-credentials can be used in-conjunction with a human-user's credentials it's largely unnecessary as an unauthorized client wouldn't be able to authenticate with a human-user because the redirect_uri sent from the client would be rejected automatically (and if that worked, there's always 'aud' audience filtering too), so the human-user wouldn't even be prompted to authenticate, they'd get an error message.
> If you have a process running on your machine can it use this to get root? Read Keys?

Which keys? OpenBSD / OpenSSH for example does now (since 2019?) encrypt SSH keys in RAM to prevent rowhammer like attacks. They're mixing the key with a huge "pre key" and an attacker would need to side-channel attack the entire pre key to be able to read the real SSH keys.

So it's not as if there was nothing that could be done to guard against this.

It may require changing lots of software/libraries but at least the security-conscious ones already started, without waiting for this "blacksmith" attack.
Afaik, a crazy amount of rentals is negotiated without a contract so that the landlord avoids regulation and taxes and the renter agrees because they get a discount.

I believe in taking time away from work to raise kids. In fact, I am taking several years away from work now for that purpose. What I disagree with is who should pay for it. I'm paying for my living expenses and raising my child from my savings that I earned at my generous paying job. I think the government should pay for up to perhaps 3 months for raising kids (and it shouldn't be based on your salary, but tied to some universally agreed upon basic living wage), but any more than that should be self-financed. There is a set amount of handouts society can give out before it implodes, and there are far better uses for that money than giving you the privilege of a plush lifestyle while you choose to stay at home with your toddler.

I don't think there are any SQL-style grant/revoke directives within any language that is not SQL, Ada or Rust.

To be fair, code dealing with grant/revoke should be done in migrations, not in the application code. If application code can do SQL grant/revokes by itself you have bigger issues anyways.

When we're ingrained to all but deify corporatism, capitalism and laissez faire, it's only natural that the people will think that a private company must be allowed to do what it wants.

Such ingratiation has also poisoned the well against even considering options like having a strong/big government step in, handing Google over to the people, etc.
