> 2FA is bullshit and doesn’t work in practice.

You made an argument against SMS/phone-based 2FA, but didn’t address any other 2FA method such as U2F. I don’t see how your claim follows.
"cat 1_gb_of.txt" will push your terminal far beyond what just a CPU can comfortably handle.
npm went through a rough few years (lockfiles, leftpad) and obviously the hivemind of the JS ecosystem is not the most careful one (hence all the advice of nuke it and npm i).

but those who care use yarn, those who even want to be correct use yarn2, and so on.
Of course I can't expect anything. But paid software has critical security vulnerabilities too.
it's true that evaporating water is pretty efficient at cooling stuff. still according to [0] it's 3m^3/s water consumption on average for this station, doable in many place indeed, until there is a mega drought where basically you'll need 10 trucks per minutes to keep things in control.

I would guess that poverty is a bigger factor than generational difference globally. The rate of internet use in America is about 90%, so it looks like a wide variety of ages will use the internet if given the opportunity.

Chinese was never an ideograph based language to begin with. Yes, most characters have that somewhere in their origin, but there's so much corruption, change of meaning and borrowing of sound going on all through history that you really don't get anywhere using ideographs.

Example in Mandarin: 我不知道 : I don't know. But in ideographs: weapon flower root arrow mouth foot head.

What do you use for server-side code?
not to mention that unless someone is very familiar with the code of dependencies it's very hard to review hundreds of small near meaningless changes unrelated to your actual functional/business requirements.

Submodules.

We had left-pad type incident where the package we depended on disappeared from npm, and didn't even realize it till the next time we setup from Git.

Since then, we have node_modules as a submodule tracking latest-commit, and it works.
That is a good list. I'll submit one opinion about the English, that we don't do theory and express ourselves and ideas best in fiction.
I like to read articles by people who feel they have something that's important to say. If you don't know what you should to write about, then anything you write is probably going to be pretty uninspiring. Good writing comes from a place of passion and urgency, a real drive to inform people about something that the author thinks is worth reading.

This might be an answer you don't like very much, but seriously, all the best articles that I've read and shared in the past have been been things that the author would probably have felt compelled to write even if no one bothered read their work. I can't imagine that
soliciting for ideas really works.

I think this is the main reason why I've always failed to be the blogger I aspire to be. There are few subjects that I care enough about to write consistently on. It's weird, because I post on the web a lot and I feel like I'm pretty passionate about web stuff. It just doesn't manifest in the form of blog posts though.

Oh I don't mean to publicize just the algorithm.

You would need to publicize the weights and input data of the algorithm. You can't just say "see this whitepaper of the textbook for algorithm."

Obviously there's a lot that goes into this. But the flip-side is that the recommendation algorithms are so crucial we have to tackle this.
It adds one more layer of security and makes stuff like this much more difficult. Now the attacker has to both, figure out his password and hack his phone. How is this bullshit?
I started to use htm as a templating language for fastify and express. It's pretty cool as you have familiar JSX-ish syntax in backend templates.

As a next step, I wanna build my own web components and include the tags on the backend. I want to develop frontend apps by controlling them on the backend.

I replaced iTerm with Wezterm 6 months back. It feels lot more lighter and faster. As SRE I need to work a lot on terminal. I tried Alacritty for a while but Alacritty not supporting horizontal and vertical splits was a major setback for me.
I only say 2FA because every instance of being offered the choice to use 2FA in my experience was phone based. It’s by far the most common 2FA scheme — its very widely asserted that phone based 2FA is secure and it enrages me because it really isn’t.

But something like u2f as far as I can tell isn’t any better than memorizing a strong pass-phrase. It’s basically just moving the password manager to a computer that’s not connected to the internet. I guess it’s easier than memorizing.

My own experience is the opposite. My son learned to use a balance bike since 2 years old, a couple of weeks before his 3rd birthday we got a regular bike, on the same night we ran alongside him riding his bike grabbing his jacket in case he fell. He started riding the same night.

What I would find interesting is a page which lists all steps to be performed on the command line to create a web application from scratch.

Say we start with a fresh Debian install, the first line might be

apt update && apt upgrade

The second line might be

apt install php

Or Python or Node. And then the commands to create the project directory, switching to it, installing a webserver etc would follow. At some point there would be a line

echo "<h1>Hello World</h1>" > index.php

At this point, we accomplished serving a static page.

And then line by line, a full web application is created, with routing, templating and user accounts. With no other tool than the command line. So the page would never say "Click on this then click on that..." or "Depending on your environment...". No, you could simply copy every line, paste it to your terminal and thereby create the exact same application.

Ideally the page would have one column of commands for every typical approach like Django, Flask, Laravel, Symfony, NextJS etc.

I would expect this page to start with just one approach - say Django. And then accept pull requests from experts for the other approaches.

So we would have side by side examples of what steps are needed in different environments to create a typical web app nowadays.

I had this idea for a while but so far did not get around doing it. If someone wants to collaborate on it, hit me up.

Give it 20 years, people will think World War Two was fought by women of color with space age technology.

Historical fiction is a very loosely respected genre of entertainment. We pick and prod what we want and let fantasy live out in historical dressing. We inundate media with it, and create an ethos to summarize complex ideas into puerile, milquetoast thoughts. Civilizations get washed down, historical figures rewritten, and modern sensibilities
injected where appropriate.

And we don't really think much about it. Because after all, it's entertainment. Entertainment has no responsibility to inform or educate. But through it all, children will grow up and absorb it. And suddenly a whole generation starts believing that Ancient Greece was a multi-ethnic civilization (by today's standards) and that Spanish Moors were Sub-Saharan Africans.
Because the way it’s implemented in 99% of cases is password reset uses your phone for validation. But that’s not true 2FA.

It’s a widespread lack of courage which I think afflicts many areas of the western world right now. Instead of making things right, everyone just says well if you lose your password then it’s ok, just do x y and z and you can reset your password. Never mind the fact that this completely ruins the whole point of passwords and 2FA. People aren’t brave enough to just confront the plain fact that in order to have security, you have to let your customers deal with the bitter consequences of losing their passwords. Instead of rightly putting the burden of managing passwords on the consumer, we treat them like children at the expense of sanity and order.

Just strong passwords and backup passwords is way stronger than 2FA anyway
You conflate the question of interpersonal wellbeing comparison with both adjacent and orthogonal issues I have said nothing about (level of precision, mathematical modeling, deontic criteria, ...). What I describe is practiced daily in health care priority work and risk mitigation in e.g. macro level infrastructure planning. Meanwhile the utilitarians I know are busy working to end world poverty, eradicate malaria, minimize global pandemic risk, improve health access and end factory farming. The evidence on the severest forms of migraines do not support a huge experiential variation in the people afflicted - they max out suffering for virtually everyone. https://www.preventsuffering.org/cluster-headaches/

I see this headline as 63% of the world now uses the internet in some shape or form. Irrespective of whether they know this or not, any threats to this vast communication network will affect their lives in some shape or form. A large part of the world has started to treat internet as a utility and the disruption of this utility has implications for people irrespective of how it's structured, managed or made available.
Maintainers have no responsibility at all, unless they're paid or bound by contracts in some other way.

Some feel responsible regardless, but they certainly don't have to. They can even introduce vulnerabilities intentionally, and it's your responsibility if you trusted them not to.

It seems that Nix can be used as a build tool for building e.g. rust applications. A good step-by-step for that would be interesting, particularly one that spelled out the advantages over existing tooling like Cargo.

Most things I found when my interest was piqued were from the perspective of building or running NixOS, which is (for now) much less interesting to me.

...which is also quite trivial with OS-native code on Win32 and macOS. Besides, the whole point of the OP's project is to not use separate dependencies.
It is a side effect. You should see that young kids will not speak their local language, but they will be able to speak Mandarin and English so much better than their parents. It is more a natural selection. Why do you want to keep local dialects when no one is going to use it? It is like watching a village living in remote area, romantically we wish they stay that way forever, but they will change, modernize and find a better way for themselves.

Happy to see that it includes support for clearing scroll back and that the default key binding for that is the same as it is in the Terminal.app that comes with macOS; Super + K.

I just might give this Wezterm a go on my own computers. And since Wezterm is cross platform with support for all three computer platforms that I use; macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, I may finally have a coherent terminal emulator on all of these operating systems. Provided that I find it a comfortable application to use :)

Criticism is cheap, so I wanna first say that this looks like good work! I am somewhat put off when people don't list dependencies anywhere, but rather hide them away in some script (or, in this case, scripts + Cargo manifest).

I'll start with the question:

Deno solves this by making you specify on the command line or in a config file what an application should have access to, for instance for a simple web application you can specify that it only has read acesss to one folder of static files, write access to the log folder and can only connect to the postgres server. It is also very simple, see:

As for the first part, I'm in the lucky position where nobody can just rewrite everything to todays flavor of js, but where we can decide in the team to test out new technology when we have a chance to, for example on a new small project. There's another guy on the team that is enthusiastic about it too and I guess he'll throw together a demo soon, then we'll discuss it.

Wow I find this hugely impressive !

I'm a big fan of reactive notebooks such as Observable in ~javascript and Pluto in Julia.

I've been thinking about something somewhat similar using js_of_ocaml instead of Rust+wasm, but I guess it should be similar. The error messages given by chumsky seem very helpful.

A couple questions come to mind:

- I see that Datalog isn't turing-complete so you added the possibility to run js inside backquotes. Is it possible to add syntax highlighting to make it easier to read ?

- Why does it compile to js instead of wasm ? Wouldn't it be potentially faster ? Is it harder because more low-level ? (I don't know much about compilers)

- Since the execution happens inside web workers, I guess it could be more scalable than the other single-threaded alternatives ? Are intermediary results cached ?

- What do you think could be the killer use-case for Percival ? Exploratory data analysis of public datasets ?

- Could it be possible to embed some number-crunching stuff, like lightweight machine learning ?

And finally, what did you enjoy the most while building this ? Were there many pain points ?

Thank you very much for posting this. Holy cow.

I had a slight brain injury in college, a concussion. Everyone was taking care of the urgent cases, so it took a while to realize that I was no longer tracking anything beyond five minutes at a time.

I almost remember a dream-like experience of sitting in the Emergency Room under observation: they made me sit upright, when I so desperately wanted to lie down and sleep. A good friend sat with me through all that and throughout the night, waking me up every half hour or so. Each time he did so, I would be experiencing the whole shock and fear all over again, asking the same exact questions. After some long hours of this, I "woke up" and started to have a continuous narrative.

I will never forget waking up, staring at the hospital ID tag on my wrist, with the date, May 27th... I could not believe it. I was missing six weeks. What the hell?

I had to sleep a lot that week. In the months that followed, a flash of memory would surface, like a fish jumping out of the pond: a fleeting, flash of silver. I would grab my pocket day planner calendar, and mark down the date that memory illuminated. And so over that summer, I got back almost everything except those final few days before the fall.

It was a year later that I got back the day, just an hour or so before the crash.

First responders said they saw that kind of thing all the time, with guys who had too many beers in them when they whacked themselves in the head. I hadn't had alcohol at the time, but it was college, I bet there was some chronic sleep deprivation in there.

Did I fully recover? I have no idea. It's me. My self.

(The following semester, I had a Philosophy of the Mind class, heavy stuff, Paul Churchland and Professor Searle.

I am actually somewhat thankful I have had this experience, for it is a visceral perspective I cannot imagine inducing on purpose, in a survivable way. Acid or peyote? I don't know. I never tried. Not interested. I've had my ride.)

I absolutely feel that good physical condition -- it was a relatively athletic phase for me -- contributed to the shape of my recovery. And the brain challenges of software and electrical engineering (and philosophy)...

I certainly feel way dumber now, and indeed I flunked half my classes that following semester. But I've had doctors administer IQ tests since, and have gotten the impression that that number didn't change very much.

A good friend of mine has had a life-altering stroke some months after a nearly fatal bicycle crash. His stamina and conditioning still sees him riding as much as 100 miles each weekend, but can no longer speak clearly or walk without some support.

My experience is by no means comparable to his, or to yours. It just drives home the tenuous nature of my experience of reality. It's not just a philosophy class.
Wait until you read that they ‘only’ did this experiment on ‘obsolete’ rats.
