IMF blog post, December 9, 2021, "Global Crypto Regulation Should be Comprehensive, Consistent, and Coordinated".

https://blogs.imf.org/2021/12/09/global-crypto-regulation-sh...
In sure this will convince the skeptics that there’s no evidence. I’m in another thread about facts not changing people’s minds though haha.
On one hand I want to be more forgiving of this, because log4j is very old, and likely this feature was introduced well before we all had a collective understanding of how fiddly and difficult security can be, and how attackers will go to extreme effort to compromise our services.

But at the same time... c'mon. A logging framework's job is to ship strings to stdout or files or something. String interpolation should not be this complicated, flexible, whatever you want to call it. The idea that a logging framework (!) could even have an RCE makes me want to scream... the feature set that leads us to that even being possible just weeps "overengineered".

There are indications (https://twitter.com/dlitchfield/status/1469199750452822017?s...) that log4j1 can be affected too...

Arguably log rotation should be handled outside of the application with logrotate or filebeat.

This ain't anti-intellectualism. Scala fanatics (more like FP fanatics who use scala) write overly completed code just for purity's sake. Its ok, but it creates a maintenance nightmare and a huge hiring problem.
The idea that “a month” has a constant number of seconds (edit: exactly 1/12th of a year) seems peculiar, so I’d argue the function needs to be more complicated.
It's NIMBYism and zoning. People individually may want/demand apartments or townhomes or duplexes, but for various reasons it's common to outlaw all those things via local zoning regulations on most of the residential land in a city or town. Even in major cities, this is usually true (though of course there's some exceptions), that most of the land is reserved exclusively for detached single family homes on large lots.

In contrast, some countries like Germany or Japan don't have that type of zoning anywhere in the entire country. Of course, they still have many single family homes, you're just not required to live in one if you want to live on a particular street.

I don't want to get into the justifications for mandatory SFH zoning, but the results are pretty clear: it makes walking, biking and transit worse (and thus makes people less healthy and fatter); it results in economic segregation, as a working class family can't move to an affluent area by moving into a smaller home there, because smaller homes there are illegal; lastly, it means higher housing costs, because you can't put as much housing in a given area to meet demand (this also tends to increase commute times, as people go further out from the job center area to reduce costs).
I think no, because, IMO, Kotlin doesn't have a good pattern matching like Scala.
The article assumes a particular framework of understanding. This framework is not in any way "proven" using "facts" according to its own standard. It just baldly assumes a way of
understanding, and then demands that other ways of seeing meet its standard.

The article contains a "just so" origin story, without any proof, but with a lot of social cues and nods to authorities that are likely to be unquestioningly trusted by the target audience. An actual mythical origin story is told, with lots of handwaving and name dropping, about how we lived in tribes and needed to signal our membership.

Then, in a giant logical leap, the hand-wavy "just so" origin myth is presented as the true reason why we don't have a strict adherence to "facts" as the author thinks we should.

The proper way to understand why facts don't change minds, is to understand that there are no such things as "facts". Our minds carve out blocks of meaning from the sea of chaos in front of us. There could always be a different way to carve up what lies before us. This is not to deny that what in front of us is real, or to claim that we can make up whatever we want. Not at all. But it fails to understand that the reality we see is much more like a mythical or narrative structure at its base. We are completely integrated into it and can't separate ourselves from it.

You can see that what I'm saying is true, by simply examining the article itself. Although it purports to be about "facts", the article is a narrative. It even has a mythical origin story from beyond the mists of time which can't ever be "proven" using "facts".

I don't know what use the article is. Perhaps it can make a certain type of person feel superior as they sit at the family Christmas dinner and silently judge their relatives' differing beliefs as being somehow inferior because they don't meet this imaginary criteria of being "fact" based. How do "facts" even motivate a "fact based" person to want to change someone else's ideas?

The slightest amount of critical thinking shows that we are all deeply immersed in narrative, value judgement and goals. This false concept of "facts" is merely a weapon for
a certain worldview in its attempts to coopt other worldviews.
The lane change quote is to describe a level 2 system by contrast, which implies this system can do lane change.

Full quote:
“Right now every other car claiming to have advanced autonomous features is currently only at Level 2 at the most, which means the car can stop steer and brake in certain conditions, but it can’t perform lane changes indecently and the driver can’t remove his hands from the wheel for extended periods.”

But yes, speed limit reduces usefulness to congested traffic situations as also noted in the article.
I don't think so. Kotlin is an unmaintainable soup of features: it can match all the selling-point examples of Scala but only by adding ad-hoc special cases for each one. (For example, Kotlin has null safety and it lets you write code using errors-as-values style "either" types - but it has two completely separate syntaxes for these things, and so it's impossible to interoperate or reuse code between those two approaches). In practice Kotlin codebases still use magical incomprehensible reflection (Spring Boot) and magical compile-time manipulation (Kapt), so you have the worst of both Java and Scala worlds.
Why would that be interesting?

It doesn't.

I’m having a hard time thinking of what kind of network topology would result in a routing loop. Can you elaborate?

It seems like the first router would have to be forwarding only a subset of a /32 to the second router; if the second router was responsible for the whole /32 (or more), then it would have no reason to send packets back to the first router even if it didn’t know about the extension. But forwarding a subset of a /32 to a router that doesn’t know about the extension is clearly a misconfiguration.
Same here, Akka is really amazing
No they can't, how could they? How is actionable events in the real world going to be translated without trust to a smart contract except by assessment by a third party?
I disagree that a more rational person would have higher fitness. Like the article points out, sticking with your beliefs even in the face of contrary evidence means sticking with your community. Having friends and a support system increases survival rates. A flat earther who has alienated all their previous friends and then stops believing in flat earth is now all alone. Loneliness kills.

If the idea is to survive and thrive, the “rational” approach is to continue with what our species has always done - stick with the tribe.

David Stuckler & Sanjay Basu - The Body Economic: Why Austerity Kills - Recessions, Budget Battles, and The Politics of Life and Death

In it they look at the results that austerity measures had on societies around the western world following the aftermath of the 2007/2008 financial crisis, as well as comparing those results with those had in nations where social systems where protected instead.

Effectively it was one big natural experiment, and I can not wait to see what they write up about the ongoing crisis in a few years time.
So I have to trust the other party they will report in good faith on my delivered work. How is that trust working for Amazon product reviews? Why would be that net of lies any different for smart contracts?
This doesn't answer my question.

CSS-in-JS libraries are not magic that summons CSS out of thin air. They basically do the same thing Tailwind does: they watch your code for changes, they re-build/re-create raw CSS by, yes, often using string concatenation etc.
While the specific exploit may not be possible in 8u191 and later, I am not convinced they are safe from all RCEs using this vulnerability. It does make it harder to exploit, and hit or miss depending on what is available in the classpath.

All these schemes always still might need some higher authority in the end e.g. who decides when the work is done? Putting up collateral only ensures that someone has the money, it does not ensure that one actually gets the money. Because defining when "the work" is done, can be really complicated in real life projects. Contracts in real life are complicated. Real life is messy etc.
ETH is where the mindshare and developer resources went. ETC became too fringe. BETA vs. VHS. It really had very little to do with some quorum of powerful people.

Many people don't understand that GPUs don't have the same hardware race war as bitcoin ASICs. Older GPUs actually have better ROI because the ethash algo is constrained by memory controller speed, not as much by nm scale or clock rate. The GPUs we use today were new old stock from many years ago. This is why we don't see a large influx of ASICs for ethash... it just isn't profitable.

We can sell (or use) the GPUs at a later date for other purposes than just mining. In fact, as we race towards "the merge" and PoS, it astounds me that someone isn't working on something all these miners can switch their compute resources to mine profitably.

It is crazy to think that ETC could actually become a viable chain again (but they have some plans to switch a more friendly ASIC algo, which I don't think will work out well for them). Note that ETC is a mess right now, exchanges have 6+ day holds on transfers because nobody trusts the chain.

I'll be transparent and admit that there are some other significant non-technical factors as well, but can't discuss them here.
> Wipr doesn't do anything, literally

As somebody currently using Wipr and not seeing any ads, would you mind bridging the gap between your assertions and my reality? Genuinely curious how we could be truthfully so out of step on this.
It's not that suspicious. People who like their quality of life in their city and neighborhood don't want to lose that. This is perfectly normal and legitimate. Those who want higher density are usually either outsiders who want to live there but can't, or developers (or departing residents) who seek to make money by flipping a property for cheaply-built denser properties. If you increase density, you end up changing people's quality of life, and often for the worse. Density introduces other problems - different neighborhood feel, less intimacy, more traffic, more people crowding up parks, changing local politics, worse public safety, etc. It is because people are fond of a high quality life they enjoy that they're against such change. The other comment here using pejoratives like NIMBY to denigrate those who care about protecting their way of living is just drawing a convenient caricature.
I remember when sufficing something with "2000" made it look futuristic... I guess that didn't age well either.
The question is not whether people have cars (they do) or whether they like them or not (some do and some don't). The question is whether the infrastructure forces people to use a car for every single errand. Much less road space is needed if cars are not required for everything. And if one actually likes cars one is more likely to enjoy driving through the mountains than going grocery shopping by car.
I don't understand the point of your comment.

You're providing a solution that doesn't fit the initial requirement of a system being trust-less. So, indeed, your solution works, but as you described, it requires trust in the administrators of the website. The idea of web3 is that you wouldn't. "Trust but verify", if you want.

This could be used for Facebook or Reddit (given that they solve or attenuate the issue of fees), where people might have less trust in the administrators.

Classic confusion: terminals typically run as users, but the shells in them often run as root.

I could imagine an attack like this:

printf 'rm -rf /\n\033[%iAecho "Hello World!"\n'

When executed in a terminal this looks like it generates an innocent shell script. But when piped into a file and the executed it will delete all your files.
Everytime the “go learn category theory if you want to become a better programmer” trope arises on HN (less often than it used to, but still occasionally) I’m left scratching my head. I actually learned category theory as a math grad student, before changing fields and going in a more applied direction. I’ve spent decades writing software since then, and I can easily think of about 10 areas of math and CS that are way more useful day to day. Once you’ve mastered calculus, linear algebra, probability theory, statistics, numerical analysis, optimization, algorithms, complexity theory, combinatorics, asymptotic analysis—sure, go pick up category theory.
Except we just brought the JVM onboard, with its own headaches. The JVM is arguably as much of an obstacle to developing solutions as boilerplate in Java. You end up having to debug obscure JVM errors in production instead of sticking to Clojure. It’s also not doing any of the compiler tricks CL and schemes are noted for.
"If the bill is enacted and if it survives legal challenges, New York City would become the largest jurisdiction in the United States to allow noncitizen voting." There are others, then. Which, and why?

And digressing, why did the USA as a country not do this from the start? The founders said "no taxation without representation", why was the choice made to tax people without representation?
For those wondering "but separation of concerns!" or "but code reuse!", the dev behind Tailwind wrote a post about his thinking around this, which IMO makes quite a lot of sense, a while back:

I agree but they do seem quite focused and have made a lot of headway over the last year or so when I first started following the project. I think switching to a rust backend was the right move and will open the project up to a lot more platforms than other implementations.

You miss something, imagine a world where crypto is finally used to pay for services. How do you enforce that when you give an advance to your house builder so that he can start building and contracting out and paying his own people by the hours, that he wont build you something that eventually crumbles as soon as you open the door?

Who enforces THAT ? Who care about decentralising, we need to centralize violent enforcement or people will just scam each other. The problem in China is this one, not that they're not crypto-dumb dumb enough :s
CL and Scheme can lean on Java as well (ABCL and Kawa). So why tolerate the dirt that Clojure pours in my boot?
> You are asking a silly question.

It's a perfectly valid question: what makes an aggregator site like GrubHub a more complex engineering problem than a vehicle?

> maybe it isn't the best comparison, maybe I should have been more specific.

May be it is, may be you should have been, but you weren't

> The point you are asking about in no way affects my larger point so who cares

What is your larger point exactly? That "having a CI" somehow make you an engineer because your software is somehow "more complex than a vehicle"?

> You harping on it is just weird.

The fact that you answered literally nothing, and keep sticking to ad hominem attacks show that you have no substance to what you're saying.
Some «"logical" people tend to cast doubt».

Then, anyway, will «definitely change their minds when new evidence arises».

I think cases where you use the round-trip losses to heat things could be an exception. That’s also what the article says in its first paragraph: “If you want both heat and power — for a low price — there have been few good options”

Say you’re living up north in Norway. Plenty of sun in summer, very little of it in winter plus guaranteed heat and electricity demand in winter.

Bad title. It's a grabby headline that doesn't turn out to be what it claims. Unless this definition of "noise" is some AI/math version that most people don't recognise, like the way they use "bias" to mean overfitting, but happily flip-flop to mean "racist" when people are looking for a dramatic soundbyte or headline. Should be changed IMO, it's not noise.
What about sexual abuse that happens within our own communities? I was chemically balded at Billings West High School after coming forward about my childhood sexual abuse in the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.

At least one of the men who chemically balded me is a policeman now, the principal who oversaw it got a cushy job with the catholic diocese that abused hundreds (thousands?) of kids, his daughter got a sinecure with the same church.

There are predators who are principals and pastors who are allowed to prey on our children with impunity, and if they speak up they are maimed for life. When are we going to start taking this seriously?
It helps if you read the entire sentence:

Quoting (and splitting) is basic but eludes a lot of people including developers. I'd guess around one quarter to one third of all questions / issues raised with the command line tools I've maintained relate to quoting and so don't actually have anything to do with the tool in question.
This is something touched on by The Tyranny of Structurelessness and further confirmed by the way companies with a flat internal hierarchy operate. Where there is decentralisation there is implicit power relationships and in the terms of the root essay here platform and indirect centralisation. It’s the why of democracy in anarchist organisation.

I think you hit the nail on the head. In my experience, if both parties are happy payment isn't really a problem anyway. Trouble always comes up when there is disagreement e.g. buyer claims that the hot sauce is not spicy enough and the seller says it's exactly as spicy as ordered. Now what?
Why am I only finding that out today, that's amazing, thanks
How many real images do you need to match this performance though? Say I take my camera and make a 10 minute video filming my apartment, my street and the park. That's a dataset with thousands of images with structure and decent variation, and very cheap.

This stroad seems completely alien to Dutch traffic, though. For a couple of decades now, Dutch traffic design has revolved around designating every street or road as one of three categories, two of which are two different types of Strong Town-style roads, and the third is a classic street, with slow traffic and all.

Not all Dutch streets fit this pattern perfectly, but even a century before Netherland came up with this explicit definition, we already had a good solution for a main thoroughfare with shops or homes: ventwegen. The main road still has as few access points as possible, but on both sides of it is a slow street for bikes and car-access to houses and shops. At main intersections you can switch from the main road to the ventweg, and this solution might actually be a good fit if you quickly want to fix these stroads without waiting for them to die a natural death.
One of my friends' mother had GB after being vaccinated with covishield (astra-zeneca). She lost movement in both her legs for around 3 months, and recovered fully after that. That said, I know 100s of people (including myself) who got the same vaccine without any serious side effects.
