I wasn't really talking about Buf at scale but rather how gRPC is just a buzzword technology that companies get sucked into adopting for the sake of "scale". I've yet to see gRPC used in a way that makes sense - it's just added complexity for an org that should've been a monolith to begin with.

Maybe I'm an old curmudgeon but I don't see the point, at all.
Australia has both, we have the multi level island malls surrounded by mega roads, and then inner CBD retails streets which are surrounded by high density residential and office space which are actually great for pedestrian access as you can easily get from your current location to the area.
When Google Chrome came out, it was fast, reliable, secure, and it was not Internet Explorer. Chrome was what everyone needed back then. The competition was Firefox, which performance was getting slower (before Quantum). The problem was that Google shifted priorities for Chrome (or played the long game) to better support Google/Alphabet's interest.

> People are going to come up with creative solutions for this

You have created a problem where none existed previously, and now speculate about creative solutions to that problem. What isn't answered here is why I should opt-in in the first place.

> It's a change of mindset, that it is possible to lose digital assets permanently. I think many people can come to terms with that in the end

The underlying issue here, I think, is that you perceive all of the systems you're up-ending and re-writing as fundamentally technical in nature. But that's wrong: banking and assets and governance and contracts and everything crypto stakes out as it's domain, they're all fundamentally social problems. You can't write an algorithm to run a country. It's just the wrong model.

So, no, people aren't going to come to terms with the notion that if your ledger slips out of your pocket and into the sewer that your entire identity or all of your wealth or whatever is irrevocably lost. That's just not gonna fly.
It’s a pretty good read and still nothing definitive.

When the property crime goes back up to where it was two years before I’m having a hard time seeing anything conclusive.

How do I know that police choosing not to pursue or investigate minor property crime after the passage of Prop 47 is not the cause?

Maybe it’s part of a greater social and economic shift in the region?

Are no other factors to be considered and ruled out?

Given the considerable cost of criminalization and incarceration it’s amazing to me that it seems to be the only solution being offered.

The author does provide a more holistic solution, but I can’t say I’m anymore convinced about the roughly $500 change making a big difference.

Indeed. I spent 2+ hours today repeatedly trying to get into a games only to run into disconnections and loading issues. I ended up being able to play maybe 3 games.
I once ran across the observation that the amount 'jay walking' that occurs on a street is an indication of how much that street is pedestrian-friendly. More criss-crossing means people feel safer just moseying over to the other side.
I think they are talking about the outdoor style malls you with huge parking lots that most people will drive from one store to the other, rather than walking.
Can't they take their marbles and leave?

Just fork the project, collaborate online over git and get rid of all the bureaucracy/bureaucrats. This used to be quite common (that's why we have so many BSD distributions).
it's because those who say this underestimate the work required to make any of those services robust and scalable at a click of a button. All they see is the high cost vs the imagined simple implementation.

Good article on PWM: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Why-Pulse-Width-Modulation-PWM...

I think you need an oscilloscope and some other tools if you want to test what the PWM frequency is. The easiest way to check for PWM is to just look up reviews for laptops using the same panel (you can find the panel number using hwinfo on Windows). To just test for if your display has PWM, lower the brightness, and use the blurbusters test: https://www.testufo.com/blurtrail
Forks per se aren't a problem, but fairly natural to FOSS, so not necessarily a sign of breakdown.
Thanks for the glot.io recommendation. I had the same problem with repl.it.

I could either use nodejs or python on the terminal or keep waiting for repl.it to initialize them on the browser. Glot at first glace seems to be instantaneous.
Exactly - for most people, "using docker" is equivalent to invoking these anti-patterns, usually because it is the path of least resistance.

Unfortunately avoiding the anti-patterns seems to be much harder than adopting them.
I did a variation on this in high school, where the wife (in this case) would also have to choose you. So it was at what point you stop searching if your partner is also playing the same game. It makes more sense imo since you can't just decide that someone will marry you.
Is there a sensible way with flex box wrapping to say “I want you to do your best to keep the rows even in count. If you can’t fit six on a row, don’t just wrap one, wrap three.”

Interesting. Are there already some practical Prolog or Datalog implementations which can take advantage of multiple cores?
What benign purpose does this feature serve and why does it have to be implemented by parsing the input string? Does the input string get modified before being written into the log?

I'll ask again because the information presented so far both in this thread on GitHub and on Twitter has been very lacking: is it necessary to return the input string back to the attacker in the response to their request in order for them to exploit this bug as you are doing in your example code?

Java deserialization won't directly pull executable code from incoming bytes, but without deliberate countermeasures the deserialization runtime will happily try to create new instances of any class visible in the classpath configuration of the VM if the incoming bytes ask nicely. And many of the classes that might be present come with static code that will run once before the first class instance is created, setting up global state and the like. Others come with custom deserialization routines and when both appear together and interact with each other you get a surprisingly big space for possibile vulnerabilities to hide in. If memory serves me right, in the early days of Java deserializion vulnerabilities they usually involved some native code that was started by that mechanism. There used to be quite a lot of that, inherited from the days when Sun tried to create a multimedia powerhouse running on the inefficient JVM of the day
Yep, and then they buy your anonymized credit card history. Then they notice that a certain location trace includes a particular Starbucks that corresponds to a purchase on the anonymous credit card. You get 3-4 of these coincidences, and you can be sure that they're the same person.

Then they notice that when you open someone's app, you report a particular location, and you're also coming from a particular residential IP address. Around the same time, you access a website with a particular tracking cookie from the same IP.

Voila, they've got location history, a good portion of your web browsing history, and purchase history. It's fairly easy to pin this down to a name at that point.

This is not a theoretical thing, it's a multi billion dollar business.

Stroads are everywhere though and make up so much of America's car infrastructure? Even if malls are a blight, their impact is much much smaller than the stroad. They're not a piece of civic infrastructure that fundamentally shapes the layout of, and interaction with, society.
The biggest flaw with freemium games is that they become infested with cheaters, because there's no economic cost to starting over with a new account.

That's assuming anyone is even doing anything about them cheating in the first place. Most publishers seem to only react when streamers draw attention to someone cheating.

I saw a COD: warzone youtube video where the streamer got someone banned by messaging an activision employee; the player was riding around on an ATV, instantly shooting every player. They get bounced mid-game.

It's a "fuck yaeaaaa, activision!" moment...until the streamer goes and looks at their game stats and sees that they had a lifetime K/D ratio of something like 20, where TWO is practically world-class...and that they'd played dozens of games. The streamer asks: why weren't they bounced (or at least subject to account review) simply by having wildly off-the-chart stats alone?

Because Activision doesn't care. Cheaters don't really impact their bottom line.

(For context, I coach freelancers and still do some freelancing work--have been a freelancer on and off for 20+ years, but mostly a business owner now.)

This is tough so please hang in there. Online platforms are usually either described as 1) a non-starter or 2) a game, depending on who I talk to in sessions. My advice would be to think of them as your contingency/backup plan, even if it's just an automatic or compulsive thing because you already know how to search for work on those platforms and it's easy.

By far the best leads come from people you know. If those people are in a corporation (i.e. the gig would not be personal work for a friend), even better.

If you don't know anybody, it's really wise to get to know your local peers and would-be competitors. A lot of them feel embarrassed when they don't have a long enough referral list for when they are too busy. They would happily put you in there. They may also be up to letting you in on how they keep work steady. Personally I even mentored local tech people and metaphorically led them right to the water source but they had to choose how to drink and whether it fit their style.

There are lots of other ninja tips:

- Reach out to peer industries. Contact a local SEO firm or engineering firm.

- Get involved in local networking by teaching what you know, through the local college or library for example.

- Go to a locally-owned game store or tech-related business, talk to the manager, and say, "maybe it's a long shot but here's my situation," ask if they have customers who ask them for techie referrals. Public business owners get all kinds of inquiries.

Regarding gigs, a lot of times they don't exist until you make them exist. A fun part of your routine after getting into successful relationships can be inventing gigs, pulling them out of thin air. "Hey, I saw that you are turning your care focus to diabetics with vision disabilities; can we build an app which would...XYZ for people in that audience?"

You might be surprised at how many people are terrified to admit that they have no idea what's even possible. They may need someone like you to offer an idea which they can then tweak with some input.

Anyway, I hope that helps, I've seen some amazing turnarounds and you never know what will end up working. At the beginning of my career I got something like $500K worth of gigs lined up and effectively cemented my career by calling a local creative who made wine labels. Source: The Yellow Pages. Physical book. I thought it would have been at least Craigslist or something. You never know. Good luck, I'm sure something will work out.
It's about death. Often we avoid finding the meaning of death because it's an unpleasant thing to face, but there's no life without death. Once you find the meaning of death, you find the meaning of life.

So what does death mean to you? There's lots of frameworks for this, pick one that fits.

In the past, we had bushido, chivalry, martyrdom, Valhalla, and that the best way to die was in battle. You don't need faith for this, but it helps. But going into battle and having like a 50% chance of death, that's one way to be in full control of your life. You could say that dying to prevent your kin from being looted and tortured, that's as meaningful as it got.

Some people believe that we're all waves in the same ocean. I believe it might have been Seneca but there's also a few others. We're just a collection of energy. An ant is not sentient, but ant colony has the complexity and possible sentience. But it's just a bundle of energy, a system that manages energy.

Our bodies are similar. Farms are like power plants, they convert energy from one form into another that's broken down by humans, for the cells. And humans convert that energy into something else. Humans build cities and rockets. Cells build humans. We're part of a system in a way that cells are part of us. A city holds a form of sentience, probably similar to an ant colony, but different to humans and animals. And so when we die, our energy is just returned to the universe, recycled by other little animals. Some people think your consciousness can be reincarnated as animals, but what if you can be reincarnated as a city? Who knows how this consciousness thing works? But if you want to find out about that, listen to stories from people who have nearly or temporarily died or those who had a stroke and had their brain totally break apart. They're surprisingly consistent.

For some, death is the afterlife. God and Karma give us a KPI and our role, as humans, is to meet it as best we can. God, being omniscient, knows the right things to put in that KPI, so all we do is just serve God fully. You'd trust that God is smarter and knows what's best for you. Humility is a prerequisite, where people finally admit that they don't know and ask for a higher power to guide them.

Anyway, this is just an example of how far you can get when you flip the question around and ask what the meaning of death is.
Yeah. Just the biggest Tina Fey eye roll to the smugness poison found in tech.

"Internet routing requires addresses to be allocated uniquely, but if the addressing function were captured by a single government or company"

Technically it is so captured -- IANA is the root of the hierarchy that distributes both IP address assignments and ASN assignments -- and the RIRs are effectively centralized authorities in their regions. Thus far it has not been a problem.

With a larger address space and longer ASNs you could decentralize the entire process. Basically, subnets and ASNs would be hashes of public keys, and you would use a path-vector protocol where the NLRIs contain NIZKs proving knowledge of the secret keys and asserting who the NLRI was sent to at each hop (identified by ASN). It is not current being considered because (1) it would greatly increase the cost of routers and related infrastructure and (2) thus far there is no immediate need.
Not measured from my laptop, it certainly doesn't. And those writes cost money.
From the tribunal's website: " The Uyghur Tribunal is seeking evidence that can assist in coming to its judgment."

Hmmm, weird. You would think they would have evidence already. I thought they already "judged" it is a genocide. Typically when you make a claim you have to provide evidence, but I guess when we're talking about China you can say whatever and it's up to the opposition to prove it false.
Stroads are a word that strongtowns seems to have recently successfully popularized, so it is hard to find actual measurements about "stroads." However, I was able to find a little research indicating that narrower streets are correlated to fewer/less damaging traffic accidents. There's a conference paper "Narrower Lanes, Safer Streets," or have a look at these blogs that talk about it:

https://usa.streetsblog.org/2015/05/27/compelling-evidence-t...

https://thecityfix.com/blog/bigger-isnt-always-better-narrow...

Honestly I'm a bit surprised how little this has been measured. I mean obviously setting up experiments would be difficult, but you'd think more natural experiments would occur as different places try to fit weird geometries...
>Native English speakers generally don't accept translations done by anyone who's not a native English speaker as well

Is it common practice in Poland (or anywhere else) for people to translate from their native language into another language? I have personally never heard of commercial translations being done by non-natives in any language, but I'd be very interested to learn about such a place.
The part where police forces across the country in the wake of Defund, did a work-stoppage strike (illegal) and basically said, "swim in your sht". The data will bear this out.
Recently a large software company managed to avoid looking into a bug report for several days about an inability to dial 911 on an Android handset until enough social media indignation was generated (1). However, the org in question ignored it until enough outrage on Reddit was generated and it was eventually noticed. Not one alarm bell seems to have gone off despite all those clever people and funky machines and the much vaunted AI/ML and stuff. That's a bug that might engender criminal liability in some jurisdictions.

In this case, it appears that multiple large orgs are involved: G and M. One provides the environment and the other appears to have dropped their drawers and crapped in it but in the end a telephone should always be able to make emergency calls regardless of what is installed or configured on it.

In the end this sort of thing might look like lack of responsibility due to arrogance due to lack of competition. I'm sure other interpretations are available.

Normally the above should be considered an example of whataboutery but I think your response deserves little else. If you have something to contribute then please do but not that sort of thing.

For 'don't just wrap one, wrap TWO', I've used nested flex wrappers. For three... I'm not sure if there's a good way to first wrap three then wrap two when there's not enough room for three. But for two, just:

<div class="display-flex-wrap">
<div class="display-flex-wrap">
<div>one</div>
<div>two</div>
</div>
<div class="display-flex-wrap">
<div>three</div>
<div>four</div>
</div>
</div>

That kind of assumes all the inner div's are the same width too; I'm not sure if your question necessarily does or not.

If it's possible to do something more sophisticated and clever with flexbox I don't know... but maybe with grid? I don't have my head completely wrapped around grid, but currently i naively believe it can literally do anything.
>$635B has gone out the door [as of 2009]

>$109B profit as of August 30, 2021

That's less than 1.5% average yearly ROI. That's a joke. An index fund, the least risky type of investment, has an average yearly interest rate of 10%. The stock market averages 8%. The irresponsible mortgages that got the banks into this situation had rates between twice and quadruple that. Hell, even inflation outpaces that on average.

Accounting for inflation, that's not even an interest rate of 0%, that's a real interest rate in the negatives.

The taxpayers paid for the bailout. Socialism for the rich, rugged capitalism for the poor.

> What can help make the literature more accessible?

Publishing code and data associated with figures. A significant amount of the confusion about the literature comes from the difference between the documentation laid out in a paper and the reality of the actual implementation. Plus any peer review of the actual code used is checking the reality of the paper, rather than a description of what we think reality is.

Making this part of the publication process is vital, because there is such a high barrier to actually requesting this information later.
