NIST standards are technical guidance. The issue is downstream where different authorities make policy based on whatever NIST said at one time.

If you need to interact with taxpayer data and interact with the IRS, for example, you’re required to comply with fairly prescriptive controls for a variety of things that conflict with current NIST guidance.

The other thing is that changing anything identity is a pain in the ass. If there’s a business process and outsourced support model in place to deal with account issues, it’s actually easier to just deal with the shitshow than to fix stuff. Big dumb organizations make decisions differently!
Don't forget carbon sequestration and geoengineering.

I think longevity research is a path to stagnation, and ultimately counter-productive, and should cease. If science advances one funeral at a time, then longevity is counterproductive for all other progress.

Send it in an email too. "Hi IT guy and Boss, I'm concerned about blah, but understand people need access to everyone else's computer and account. Yada yada." Don't be difficult, but get an email out there with a time stamp on it and forward all that to your personal account if you can.
Yes — @humphrey is correct here. Literally being able to add type annotations (and validate that nothing fishy happened in production) took a very short period of time, but everything else was the hard part.

Also, I'd love to hear what a common replacement to Babel looks like. Although we've seen a few faster alternatives, Babel's been working really well since we adopted it, and we haven't had a ton of incentive to try something less battle-tested in the time since.
Javascript has a perfectly decent standard library for its intended use case - scripting webpages. It was never meant to be a general purpose application or systems programming language. It was never meant to be used outside of the browser, much less to replace C++ and other languages in their respective domains.

The "current programming environment" is the problem, and it doesn't exist because Javascript is superior to other languages, and should be used everywhere, but only because web developers are easier to find and cheaper to hire.

And in any case, you could ship a "standard library" for javascript that covers most common use cases in a single static file. We used to do that, it was called JQuery. Even assuming for the sake of argument that Javascript's standard library is lacking, that doesn't justify the mess that is Node's micropackages.

> But if the climate does warm past the expected number, having a clean bill of health won't do much to protect you.

The highest authority on the matter is the IPCC, they produce climate reports every 4 years.

There made lots of them, and people wait anxiously their reports to see the state of the art.

Not in one of their reports did the words "human extinction" ever come up.

Again life is a matter of priorities and triage.

Before screaming and predicting the end of the world, people should worry about doing everything in their power to delay their own personal "end of the world"

And if you are worried about systemic risks, then nuclear and bioweapons are still way above climate change

There are 10000+ of them with potential ramp up and proliferation, and unlike generalized climate change they are directly aimed at targets were people live.
I decided to make my personal website just that: personal. It's a public notebook with no narrative. There's a bit of everything from motorbike repair instructions to recipes.

Nobody reads that stuff. Those who do won't advance my career. I either write to help people with the same problem, or to organise my thoughts. My blog is more popular than most, and it had no impact on my career whatsoever.

If that works anywhere it would be in a logic class that covers logical implication.
In most countries there is also a delay between when people are moved from the "unvaccinated" to "vaccinated" category -- e.g. two weeks post second Pfizer/Moderna dose in the U.S. Those who take only one dose and then do not take the second (for whatever reason) remain in the "unvaccinated" group. It would be interesting to see how this would affect the picture in their model in combination with (or independent from) delayed death reporting.
What I find the worst about Teams' search is how it can find individual messages, but not the context surrounding them! So you can find the question you asked 6 months ago, but not the answers! And no way to go back to a precise date in the past (or I haven't found it) and scrolling too quickly is buggy.

Between my two work computers, I have different versions of outlook and between the two, Microsoft seriously screwed up the search.

> Firefox's 250k LOC are riding on the millions of lines of code of the underlying operating system and GUI | TCP | audio toolkits that it used.

Right, just like every other Electron-style app that exists. The comparison I made was a fair one.

> To compare it to npm development, you would need to factor in the total footprint of every package that you had to install to compile Firefox in 2011.

No, you wouldn't. That's a completely off-the-wall comparison.

How many lines of application code (business logic written in JS including transitive NPM dependencies before minification) go into a typical Electron app in 2021? Into a medium sized web app? Is the heft-to-strength ratio (smaller is better) less than that of Firefox 4, about the same, or ⋙?

There are two areas under discussion here. Vancouver, which goes by a bunch of different names including Metro Vancouver Regional District, is the 2.5 mil that you’re talking about. The second piece is the Fraser Valley Regional District, this is everything else east of Vancouver up to and including Hope. This is another 600k people.

FVRD is where the impacts are so far.

I mentioned in another comment that I’m in Chilliwack and gas stations are empty and grocery stores are also empty. Hoarding happened really fast today. The roads for resupply are shut down.

As far as I know, the main hubs are in MVRD, but probably not City of Vancouver proper. Nothing can get passed Abbotsford going East. There are roads past Hope that have also been destroyed (collapsed bridges and two lane roads completely gone). There might be ways to go north and around, but where I am it’s isolated on both sides.

I am visiting this area and am stuck until things are sorted out.

Previous estimates have said there could be 20-30 billion dollars in economic impact if there is a severe flood in the region.
It’s not like they haven’t done this before. Take a look at the KH-11 and tell me that doesn’t look exactly like the Hubble, just pointed the other way.

In fact, I wouldn’t be too surprised if the Hubble was actually a cover for some KH-type mission, and the reason they had to go fix the optics to make it actually useful for space telescope purposes was because they had “accidentally” left the earth-viewing optics in place for the launch.

Let's be honest here, this is just a neoliberal fantasy that amounts to a liberal equivalent of trickle-down:. Enrich the rich and the $ (via "jobs") will make it magically to the Lower classes.

I'm pretty sure animal and plant species also existed as cultural and mystical concepts, long before science was a thing. All of your analysis can be applied equally well to species, as well as planets... Or the four seasons (winter, spring, summer, autumn) or the five Oceans, or the seven Continents.

They're all simply human attempts to impose neat category boundaries across a continuum of natural phenomena that are definitely not neat.

Categories can be useful, but they often lead to pointless arguments by lay people (a la Pluto's relegation) when we start to fetishize a human-created category structure as an essential expression of underlying reality. It's just plain old human narcissism.
This is not very good analysis. The first chart is based on his hypothetical editing of data, and then the second chart is real data but measuring a different thing (non-covid deaths). And the assertion that these charts look similar so maybe the vaccine is a placebo is foolish. Here is a quote that I think exemplifies the problem:

"Also how is it possible that, at the time vaccination rates are ramped up to nearly 100% of the population, the nonvaccinated are dying from non-covid deaths at almost twice the rate of those who are vaccinated?"

Maybe because the very small minority of people who are not vaccinated are different from the vaccinated population in some other way?

You said "And you can't do it with solar."

He says it's possible in the very video you pointed at, his exact words "... unless we have subsequent power generation at houses".

EV are the perfect demand shifting and averaging tool for the grid, which is why Elon Musk says what he says, you can reduce peak demand on the grid this way.

All that is in the report I cited, multi year study by lots of engineers on the case of the French grid.

Now of course the US electrical grid is not in real good shape compared to other developped countries, but full EV and end of fossil fuels is at least 3 decades away.

Australia went from zero to 25% of homes with solar in a decade, 2.4 times increase in the last five year according to

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_Australia

For yearly energy: USA vehicules drives about 3200000 millions miles per year, at 0.25 kWh/mile (TM3 LR) that's 800 billions kWh. Current electricity production in USA is 4000 billions kWh. Plus twenty percent is not that much.

I tried OpenWRT on my D-Link router and yeah it was super flaky, dropping the WiFi for around a minute at random times throughout the day.

The web interface was much better than stock firmware though.

But I have recently settled for the tp-link Archer AX50 which is very stable and comes with a great web interface, plenty of advanced features.

Not tried OpenWRT on the latter.
An aside:

// album represents data about a record album.
type album struct {
ID string `json:"id"`
Title string `json:"title"`
Artist string `json:"artist"`
Price float64 `json:"price"`
}

I've always wondered why there's no capacity to tag the entire struct in Golang, for situations like this. Either

`json:expose-private-members`
type album struct { id string ... }

or

`json:lowercase-public-members`
type album struct { ID string ... }

To avoid having to repeat yourself twice and cut down on the noise, considering that these tags are picked up via reflection anyway, why not tag the type itself? If you wanted, you could always have field tags override struct tags if necessary.

Office 2000 was much better software than anything that came afterward. Even Works '98 was far superior.

Frankly though, allowing office workers to putter around with fonts, spacing, and the like is a waste of their time. Plain text should be enforced in inter-office communications and anything which needs to be sent out should also be composed as plain text and formatted with TeX into a unified corporate style.
kind of? they are syndicating new international content that wouldn't have been syndicated at all, and they are doing a pretty decent job of getting some cult classics out to a broader audience, for example I've seen many Cowboy Bebop stickers and shirts on in the last few months, and their new live action hasn't come out yet (or just did), but they had the anime for a while.

I would not say they are covering niches very well, which I'm fine with. Not in an elitist sense, but in a "most of it is trash and Netflix's recommendation engine is nightmarish" sense. So I wouldn't want to accidentally click on something and mess up my whole recommendations for one-country's bottom barrel media.

Certainly sounds like garbage. I'd sort of expect random noise to produce an R^2 of around that value. But maybe for studies of human value that's normal?

On the contrary, the CDPR release debacle shows consumers expect the refund from the app store aka the console store front, whether Microsoft or Sony. They’re mad at CDPR, they want their money back from Microsoft or Sony. And given that noise level, Sony yanked Cyberpunk2077, just as Apple might. Or Walmart with a bad batch of ketchup.

Similarly, people buying from the app store BnL don’t go back to the app store to find the developer web site and go there to look up a support phone number to ask a human if they can please cancel by physically mailing a certified letter somewhere (how you cancel most first party subscriptions). They go to the subscriptions settings and cancel.

I’d argue that is indeed exactly like Heinz vs. Walmart or whatever.

> it doesnt have competitors at least in telecom and banking

To be fair, the high regulation that we have in the banking sector insulated us from a lot of the 2008 financial crisis. So it's not all bad.

The big banks spent the early part of the 2000s complaining loudly about being "left out" of the financial boom happening and wanted to internationalize and merge with US banks, and our government said no. America's regular cycle of financial crises and ruin kind of proves that unrestricted competition should not always be the unconditional goal of a given industry.

In terms of rail (and other infrastructure), keep in mind that our country is bigger than the US and we have 10% of the population. A lot of our monopolies/crown-corps exist because if it wasn't for government subsidies/handouts, none would exist at all.

So it's not always a reasonable argument to say there "should" be competition, when it doesn't make financial sense for new entrants to compete. No one would ever fund the startup costs, because it would take decades to make the money back, if you ever did.

That said, our telco sector does absolutely need a shakeup and competition (better rules for CLECs to use ILEC infrastructure etc).

I suffered and still occasionally suffer from a lot of anxiety. It got pretty bad at one point and caused repeated panic attacks. Anyway, I'd caution you against creating an avoidance mechanism to deal with it. I noticed I would automatically grab my smart phone a lot to read something and I'm not sure it was really helpful. It was almost an annoying compulsive addiction. Not much different than reaching for a drink or cigarette really.

Obviously, sitting there doing nothing for long periods of time probably isn't great but I think it's good to just set aside moments where you stop trying to distract yourself. This can be done through meditation or some other method of your choosing (outdoor activity is good). It's good to let your thoughts come in and sort of train yourself to stop fearing them or having such knee-jerk reactions.

It seems like I've developed a healthier response to them by doing this. I can laugh at a lot of my stupid negative thoughts more easily now.
