Potentially it was a mess, but the guys building it contribute to nix so I don’t think that’s to blame. Dev environments are okay, but that’s not the limit of nix - it gets used for build servers, ci servers, linting, replacing stack cabal yarn etc, creating docker, hell I’m pretty sure I saw nix creating nix

It is very easy to make mistakes in ECC implementation. If you really want to code it yourself, there's a book by Menezes, Vanstone et al ("Guide to Elliptic Curve Cryptography, I think) that gives very explicit instructions about how to do everything. I used to hack on a P256 implementation. But, it is a bit out of date by now, and IIRC it doesn't say anything about Curve25519.
If you want to spend some money and go hard on defending the thing as "yours" before having definitive evidence from other scholars that it's really novel, register a patent. It's similar standard to that of the standard of an academic white-paper published in a journal.

I don't recommend, as patents are today useless for innovation and serious work, although that's the exact reasons they were created in the first place
> I'm honestly confused as to whether or not you are willfully trolling, tricking yourself, or just very scared.

None of the above. I'm reading the report and forming my own opinion while factoring out the hyperbole and panic of the media, politicians, etc. My motivation is thinking for myself and considering whether all of the theatrics align with the reality in front of me (they don't).

To further elaborate on my skepticism, perfectly valid technologies that could have been implemented decades ago (while there was plenty of awareness of this problem, as well as "global cooling") like nuclear have been foolishly ignored, discredited, etc. The primary argument I hear is "too expensive" and "too long to build," yet somehow congress manages to find money for inanities to the tune of billions every year. You'd think if this was seriously catastrophic, we'd be going in to debt to finance better energy solutions.

All of what I said above combined with that tells me the motivation of the people trying to scare everyone is disingenuous. When someone's actions don't align with their speech, it's often indicative of dishonesty. Considering how much money is at stake, the probability of that is increased.
i was under such duress that i was shaking so badly that i made typos in my 30 character password 10 times. the loss of evidence is not my fault as it is the people putting me under that duress. don't think it'll hold up though
The way I picture it is having true N number of lines on your working buffer that does not interfere with the actual line count in your file. We already have virtual-texts in neovim that only can show up on the same line as existing texts.

Pay close attention to the line counts in the image (from original PR)

Compile all the processes together, allocating all resources at compile time. Modula I had device register access, interrupt access, cooperative multitasking (async, the early years) and it worked moderately well on PDP-11 machines.

Yes, I did use it. We wrote an operating system in it at an aerospace company.[1] It didn't work out well. Sort of OK language, weak compiler, not enough memory given the poor code generation. It was just too early to be doing that back in 1978-1982. We got the thing running, and it was used for a classified high-security application, once.

Mice trials don't interest me much. Human trials of various diets for Alzheimer's have been done along with lots of individuals who have tested it on themselves or family members with positive results.

I can't find one of the more comprehensive studies I was looking at before, but a quick search pulls up this video which discusses a recent human trial which showed significant improvement on the keto diet (links to the study in description):

One of the largest pieces of feedback I've had is around displaying the actual git commands that lazygit runs so now there's a new panel that does exactly that, displayed by default. I find that works well for demystifying what's going on and can actually help educate on which commands can satisfy which use cases. It's also kept me accountable in that if I try to satisfy some use case in a sneaky, smart way, it results in a scary looking series of git commands, so I've scaled back some of the 'magical' stuff that was going on for the sake of user confidence.
"are the fact that current privacy movements like Tor, Signal, OTF, BBG are fundamentally military funded and survive on government contracts."

Are those "facts" avaiable for investigating, without having to buy the book?

(that Tor is partly US administration funded is known, but Signal? And what is OTF and BGG?)

I don't know. "That idea simply will never work." will hurt the fragole person just as efficiently as "This idea is stupid".

I think better communication us skip your general assesment of validity and form the objections you have to the idea as your questions about the idea.

Or just say "it's stupid" if you are in a hurry and don't care about offending the person but don't expect great interactions in the future.
The Other Side of Software Architecture – Organizational Architecture
As I recall, several studies have also shown that people can have high levels of amyloid-beta plaques (ABPs) in the brain and not show any signs of dementia.

Between the two outcomes (ABPs exist but there's no decline, and ABPs are removed but dementia persists), the prevailing interpretation is that ABPs alone do not cause Alzheimer's. They seem to arise along with the cognitive loss, though not cause it.

Tau deposits and associated neurofibrillary tangles have also been implicated in dementia, but also can be absent in those with the disease, so they too are not directly causal.

No, my opinion includes concern for developing nations. Not allowing them to access fossil fuels or other forms of cheap plentiful energy means they can't develop properly (i.e., permanent impoverishment).
> If I am inferring correctly, the only thing that wouldn't count as locked down and walled garden by your definition would be a total open source design from Hardware to Software.

No. I'm totally fine with CPUs with fully open documentation and preferably designed by a company that specializes in CPUs. Open documentation + liberal license should allow other CPU manufacturers to compete based on the same ISA.

What I don't want is involvement of the vendor after I have bought my CPU (other than updates), or any kind of lock-in or dominance of one vendor for my ISA or dark patterns. Or drivers/updates that only work on a specific OS and thus are unusable if I decide to write my own OS for the CPU. Updates should be open (written in the language of the documentation) so the world can see if/where the company messed up.
> Google running a cloud service is more like renting out excess capacity

If that were actually the case, then sure.

But it's not. Alphabet's Google Cloud services have whole data centers dedicated to renting to the public and Alphabet's Google and other businesses entities are their own customer.

> I feel like white lines are almost always ok to drive over…

Single and double solid lines parallel to the flow of traffic, of any color, almost always mean "do not cross".

A single dashed line, or a double line where one or both halves is dashed, can be crossed under at least some circumstances. The rules for crossing these vary depending on context, e.g. one-sided passing and center turn lanes use similar markings but with the solid and dashed lines flipped. (You pass from the dashed side but enter the turn lane from the solid side.)

White lines separate traffic going the same direction. Yellow lines separate traffic in opposite directions. This is independent of whether the lines can be crossed.
I think squarefoot is following me in pointing out the foolishness of Microsoft using successful products to promote lost causes and thus drag themselves down.

That is, Microsoft is getting $100 or so when you buy a computer and they really don't need to endanger that to get another 10 cents.

There's an even more pernicious pattern where Microsoft harms the thing they are trying to promote by promoting it.

For instance, the original "OneDrive" was tightly integrated into Microsoft Office making it the default place to save. Turned out if "OneDrive" was busted, which it often was, you couldn't save files in office AT ALL! If you have one experience like that you will NEVER use OneDrive again no matter what they say, something Microsoft should have thought about before they did it. Contrast that to DropBox, Box and numerous off-brand file sharing clients, none of which are so arrogant as to make it impossible to save files in a shared folder.
This is for businesses which have regulatory requirements that they store data in-state. State governments don't like it when certain data is stored out of state. They like the idea that they can just dispatch their own police to seize the required records from the server rather than needing to ask for the cooperation of another government and its own police force.

I know specifically its popular in the regulated gambling and insurance industries.
Wait till you’re old and live in a house filled with memories.
And especially when you’re older, you should be able to rely on your friends and family around you, and not be forced to move to a new area where you know nobody, and cannot ask anyone for help.

I actually like the idea that you buy a house, pay it off and keep it in the family for next generations. I bought it, it’s mine, I paid for it, and now some else determines I have to move away to make room for someone else?

Yes - take for example gene sequencing - that requires a huge amount of data shuffling and going cloud for that is infeasible simply for the data transfer costs.

With Outpost this becomes feasible. This "cloud in a box" idea has been around for a long time, but I guess Amazon has enough brainshare for the tooling that it may make sense for companies to have this for data-intensive compute and keep the same skillset requirements as the rest of their fully-clouded operations.

My point is, I'd like to give some basic cycles to unknown websites. The NoScript solution is good but radical. If you visit new websites often, you spend some time clicking "temp trusted." In my scenario, websites do have some power, but not much. They should never be allowed to make my fan turn faster - unless I allow it. I don't believe this can be done at the plugin/extension level.
I know that I look at how big box stores, like Office Depot, and restaurants treat their workers and go "Wow, those employees deserve LOTS of protections and a better experience", and I'm willing to consider unions as an option for that.

The poor are the most exploited people because they literally can't accept anything else for fear of death, and I want better for them. If a union can bring that, then I rejoice for their chance to try out a union and get their deserved wages.
Omicron variant: the case for cautious optimism
Capital gains tax is a bad idea because it hurts businesses. It takes money out of the economy and puts it into the government where it is spent less efficiently.
How about a company providing user agents which can undertake searches on one’s behalf (e.g. to Google, DDG, etc) and filter those results? There may not be a need to reinvent search but instead to filter search results. Such agents may preemptively download result pages and use machine learning and other users feedback to assess their relevance. It could also curate content more than ad blockers and Readability by, for example, hiding less relevant content (e.g. all recipes seem to follow some SEO-optimized format of posing pages of gibberish before presenting the actual recipe). This sounds like a browser or browser extension coupled with servers to maintain the relevance models. This may be coupled with a VPN so pages could be downloaded as that user and analyzed in the cloud and sent to the user only if/when needed.
Many people are just more comfortable using WYSIWYG application. For them, it's easier to use preset templates and to apply formatting by highlighting, pointing, and clicking. And those WYISIWYG tools enable them to easily create more complex formats and add tables and graphics to documents, to share those documents, and to convert documents to PDF or HTML. The people who use those applications don't need to fiddle about with markup languages. Many of them don't want to learn markup languages (no matter how easy you might believe they are to learn).

There's nothing wrong with that. Plain text has its place and its user base. That user base isn't just technical people, either. WYSIWYG tools have their place, too.

Here is an example of a ketogenic diet:

- 2 hard-boiled eggs for breakfast.
- 1 cup of walnuts or almonds or pecans as a snack.
- Eaten with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese (4g saturated fat).
- Always rinse the nuts to make them more palatable.
- This meal may be eaten twice a day.
- 3 tablespoons of chia seeds soaked in water, as a snack.
- Like a high fat/protein version of oatmeal.
- Peanuts and macadamia nuts as needed for hunger.
- Steamed vegetables (broccoli, kale, spinach, brussels, zuchini, tomatoes).
- Eaten with 8 tablespoons of olive oil.
- A very large serving of steamed vegetables.
- Salt/seasoning however you prefer.
- This is dinner.

Once a week, eat a cheeseburger. Or twice a week: rotisserie chicken and olive oil, or coleslaw and guacamole and chicken.

This high-fat, low carb diet can be maintained with no difficulty for decades. Also, it is an ideal diet for insulin-dependent diabetics.

It's cheap, healthy, and you won't be hungry.
This seems like it would get abused instantly.

It's like the ultimate DDOS opportunity- tell everyone to go follow <account you don't like> to drive up their costs to bankrupt them or force them off the platform. Create bot accounts to follow all the up-and-coming politicians of your opposition party or your startup's rival or the media company with a bias opposed to yours.

Then the arms-race component would kick off, and you'd have secondary accounts retweeting primary accounts to spread the followers over hundreds of alt accounts.

The fun part would be they'd have to place caps so hobby users didn't accidentally go viral and get lots of followers, which in turn would create scarcity for the users who follow the now capped account. Imagine someone bragging they're part of the elite 1,000 first followers of whatever random account is popular at that moment.
Is there a format that is not proprietary and works for this purpose?
I guess it's a good party trick if you've never been to a good party.
You can try to use a third-party client like Tweetbot. They don't have ads.
> One can have a liberal, conservative, socialist and/or capitalist monarchy, oligarchy or democracy. The latter talk to how power is divided. The former to how it used.

I don't think you can make such a separation so easily. Legislative power is almost dwarfed by the power of capital. When you have a “liberal democracy”, the two parts are in constant conflict. (I don't mean to say socialist democracy wouldn't have similar problems, just that the structure of power is deeper than just elections.)
I guess add one more falsehood programmers believe about names:

>That is in no way a “sorta” on “Paramount claims copyright ownership on Klingon”

I see the problem. IANAL, but I take "Paramount claims copyright" to mean something legally enforceable; an uncontroversial legal right that they are claiming [0]. As suggested by both parent and the sources further above, that matter has yet to be settled, and wasn't addressed in the decision. The statement "Paramount claims that it has the copyright to the Klingon language" I wholeheartedly agree with (and disagree, obviously, on the ability of Paramount to claim copyright on a collaborative intellectual effort between James Doohan, Marc Okrand, and others, both due to nerd fervour and a bunch of hand-waving about the intersection of IP and morality that are beyond the scope of this tangent).

[0] Possibly this is due to the ubiquity of the phrase "copyright claim", deployed to describe the monetization of someone else's intellectual property. The uh claimant is presumed to have a legal right to the material being claimed, but it's not clear that Paramount has that legal right.
At every calorie level above starvation, there is an equilibrium weight associated.

(Metabolism (which drops with less weight) + Exercise - Intake) -> over time -> equilibrium weight.

So assuming you pick a low calorie diet for now, eventually you'd maintain at a skinny weight.. and maybe live longer. Maybe.
In many western cities, the air is heavily polluted with wood smoke. Walking around suburbs of Seattle I see many of the older homes emitting thick white woodsmoke from their chimneys. This is very bad for everyone's health. If it's not raining or windy, the air is bad most of the cooler days during the year. It seems absurd to me living in the very wet pacific northwest that more homes are not using renewable hydro power to efficiently warm their homes with heat pumps.
Is Everyone Looking at You?
Trolling. The "because as we know, only the capitalist societies damage ecosystems" was the giveaway.

Or perhaps not exactly trolling. Might be pointing out that this kind of thing is actually being seriously proposed as the solution in certain quarters.
GoDaddy reinstates KillTheBill.com.au at end of Australian parliamentary debate
This chart is showing what messaging providers are willing to give to law enforcement, not a reflection of the technical capabilities of the messaging provider.

I assume what they're showing for Telegram (basically no data except IP/phone data if Telegram decides it's for a legit counter-terrorism activity) is a matter of Telegram business policy.

Signal gives the limited information they do because I assume they are subject to warrants from U.S. courts. Telegram is run, to my understanding, from jurisdictions where enforcing a U.S. court order would be difficult-to-impossible, and they keep the private keys to decrypt their stored message content split between servers in relatively non-overlapping legal jurisdictions, so even a successful seizure of data in one wouldn't be enough to decrypt message content.

That's all well and good -- and I appreciate Telegram for setting things up that way -- but that means at any time Telegram could make a policy decision to cooperate with law enforcement and provide much more than what is shown on this chart. Signal, on the other hand, could choose to cooperate as much as they want but not have the technical capability to provide more information. (Barring them updating their client to intentionally build in a backdoor, etc., but I'm basing this on what the current implementation is.)

The other important thing about this chart: this is the unclassified version. Is there another classified document out there which says "we have a secret relationship with Telegram/whomever and they give us all the message content we want" but they don't advertise to the law enforcement community at large? They secretly use it to aid in parallel construction so they don't ever have to reveal that a messaging vendor is giving them message content in court? We have no idea.

tl;dr: Telegram looks great on this chart because of policy, not technology. I love Telegram, but I'm under no illusions that it's appropriate for talking about things I wouldn't want law enforcement to have access to. Luckily, I haven't found myself needing to talk to my friends about illegal activity.
Why should it be the same? Why shouldn't it be like its nearest relatives, SARS-1 and MERS? (10% and 50% CFR).

Because certain vendor from certain country have a huge patent portfolio on Autonomous vehicle (AV) and wanted it to rely on 5G so that everything is centralised and could easily be controlled in the name of traffic shaping (cough). And somehow (cough) EU was brought into the whole thing until a Saint appeared, after being banished to hell he finally came back and convinced enough people AV with 5G would need to total state surveillance. I think, if I remember correctly EU finally abandoned that idea. But as with everything it may come back someday. ( Hope not )
I'm sure your argument is deeper, but what you have written could be said about any tax, no? Is there something unique about capital gains tax in particular?
What would really help is if they reported lost person-years. 90 year-olds dying vs 30 year olds would both be "premature deaths," but these are very different types of tragedy!
> well, the ferries are probably still timely

Someone isn't on the wsdot ferry email list (anymore?). Most of the lines are currently running single boat service, or only announcing both boats will be running in the morning. I don't personally count it as being on time if you're doing half the normal number of sailings, but those are mostly on time.

I'll give a pass for the regular delays on friday afternoon and sunday evening though. As far as I know, those delays are like clockwork, and we're stuck with them. (Maybe when coleman dock construction finishes, the super peak times will run more smoothly, but I'm ok with just pretending the ferry doesn't run during those times, cause I don't want to be there)
I wish they would make the digitized data accessible for download. It would be interesting to pop this into a graph database.
