But then, that depends on the who the guide targets, and may not be as important during an active war as it looks like in peace time.
Of course not. But my question was, when was this halcyon day of yore?

> Things are changing much faster today, than they were in 1950

Why are you so sure about that?

The post-war era saw an incredible amount of change. By the end of the 1950s, transatlantic jet travel was cheap enough that ocean liner traffic dropped enormously.

The new atomic age included both the threat of H-bomb annihilation and promise of new power sources and new medical treatments.

New materials were being discovered at an incredible pace. The effective polio vaccine ended decades of outbreaks that left children in iron lungs - church bells rang out in joy when the vaccine was announced.

Computers went from a super-secret war-time project to a commercial industry, with programming languages like Fortran and Lisp being created. The Soviets launched Sputnik in 1957, starting the Space Age, and reminding everyone that no place was safe from nuclear weapons.

People felt overwhelmed by the deluge of information, which lead to Toffler's famous "Future Shock" in 1970, which introduced the term "information overload" to the popular culture. But the deluge started already in WWII when new technical reports with cross-cutting topics overwhelmed the existing library management systems. Scientists felt like they couldn't keep up with the publications in their field.

Post-war suburbia started, partially due to low-cost loans from the G.I. Bill, and the new road system (including the Interstate System, which started in 1956). The racist structures at the time encouraged white families to move to the suburbs in a process termed 'white flight'. This flight was connected with the Second Great Migration, which saw black families moving to northern cities. The 1950s brought rulings like Brown v. Board of Education which started to break down segregation, and the rise of the black civil rights movement.

And you say things are happening much faster in this decade?
I listen to experts, just the ones arguing that the vaccines are dangerous.

Since when were we not allowed to listen to the experts we think make sense to us? I feel like social media has polarized us so much we can't even talk to eachother anymore if we don't listen to the same experts.
Well, we're in a thread that started with

> I lay any blame squarely at the feet of IT security of large organisations that were entirely unprepared to update a widely used dependency that wasn't an operating system or a runtime.

If there is the possibility to plan ahead from a sufficiently strong bargaining position, you will not end up in the situation you described. The seller should either continue to support it with a good SLA, or you get the source code with a turn-key build system if the seller discontinues its support. Or you switch out the software if the SLA ends. Should you not be able to agree on such terms, I don't think you would have enough influence to tell the seller to write their software in such a way that dependencies are easy to hotfix/upgrade.
You do if the license is AGPL 3.

As much as people sometimes react negatively to stories like this (where some technology shows early promise in a research lab), I just now realized that I actually really like this kind of popular science reporting. It's concise, includes a few interesting tidbits of materials science, and overall conveys a sense of technological hope and optimism to the reader. Of course, we all know that technologies described in articles like this are often a long ways off from commercialization, if they ever achieve that at all. But I remember a time when OLED tech was described in the exact same way in the 2000s. Here's hoping that perovskite tech eventually amounts to something.
I strongly disagree with this. Foreign journalists tend to concentrate in small areas, usually major cities, and talk mostly with other journalists and power elites. They usually aren't doing man-on-the-street interviews or tough investigative journalism. You may just be getting a distorted echo of how certain factions within your country wants to be seen to the outside world.

One of the luxuries about being a one party state is that you[1] never have to think critically about the means because you always agree with the ends.

That qualification of weight constraint. Brick pillars have sufficient compressive strength to hold fantastic weight, steel or stone as much if not more so (the structural rigidity of the bricks will largely depend on the mortar and skill of laying the courses) so I think this is a peculiar niche to be in. Church roofs use heavy trusses, the compression load is a big part of building strength in flying buttresses and arches.
Yeah - seriously. I only found my stolen car because someone reported it to the police because the people that were leaving it were being a loud nuisance.

Oh yeah - it was already being given parking tickets too. While it was reported stolen. I had to go to the local court in person in order to get the tickets revoked.

Law enforcement and the general institution of law does not care.

While my BP is up, does anyone see what our local police squads are doing since the Floyd Riots?

Perceived pain of dealing with public dissatisfaction with our boys in blue:

1. "Ok---the citizens are on to us. They are angry over abuse, needless pullovers, and the rising price of their tickets we procure when hiding behind hedges?"

2. "By golly they want to defund us? Who's going to pay my slimony, or my subscription to Netfilx? After all I like me Dirty Harry. He's a real man!"

3. "Sarge---how about just not doing anything. I mean less than we did before. We will tell the boys in the bad areas of town to turn a blind eye. Let's watch the crime rate go up? (At this point I don't know if there's a rize in crime. I see the same footage of thieves stealing stuff at Nordstrom's nightly.)

I think calling Hibernate "a wrapper around JDBC" is overreaching. A wrapper brings to mind (at least to me) this idea of a thin layer, mostly a simple translator between two worlds, but in this case there's tons of added complexity and pitfalls on top of JDBC, and there's the whole ORM deal with attending object-relational impedance mismatch, the whole "ORM is the Vietnam of Computer Science", and a completely different can of worms!

If ownership is not transferable, then how can you call it a token, and what is it non-fungible in relation to? This categorically seems like it is not a non-fungible token, or even a token at all. It's just an artist signing a file using PGP.

That's what OP was saying.
We had a non-AWS false positive: when sending the log4j exploit string with prepared unique subdomain via email there was an anti-spam system which did a DNS request on the subdomain. Apparently it looks for any content remotely looking like a URL and probes it. Similar to what was reported about Protonmail here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29537549
> The town would not be prosecuting the kid. I was confused. I did nothing wrong and stayed out of trouble myself. Did their actions not warrant any consequences?

I feel like there is an unpleasant reality that people either don’t realize or don’t want to accept… there is simply not enough resources to go after every petty criminal with prosecution. Honestly, I am not even sure it would be a good idea even if we had the resources… should we spend thousands on a prosecution over a $50 crime? Will that actually reduce crime enough to make it worthwhile?

Criminal prosecution works as a deterrent by being something that CAN happen for minor crimes, but doesn’t always… the chance they could be prosecuted hopefully deters most would be criminals, and only prosecuting a few saves money and is more efficient.
Similar experience in the US for me. I wrote off UberEats completely after a truly abysmal experience where Uber accepted the order, and the restaurant made it, only for Uber to fail to find a delivery person to deliver it.

Except the app gave no errors or notices about this, no "sorry, we can't find a driver right now, hang on..." prompt. Nor did it update the ETA for the order. It just happily kept pushing the ETA back, 5 minutes at a time, with no notice of any sort.

After about an hour I contacted the restaurant - I'm a regular there and they were puzzled - the order had been ready for quite some time and no one had shown up to pick it up. The Uber app on their end showed no errors or notifications to indicate something was wrong. So I contacted UberEats CS, where the agent revealed the "can't find a driver" part of the story, and then announced that there was nothing to be done about it.

That part really pissed me off - Uber charges surge pricing to customers to incentivize more drivers, but when push comes to shove on a poor customer experience is unwilling to increase the payout for a delivery to expedite it? Given the absolutely usurious rates Uber charges restaurants to use their service they weren't even willing to sacrifice a small part of their margin to try and get a stuck order moving?

The craziest part of this is how apologetic the restaurant was for something that absolutely had nothing to do with them. It sounds like UberEats fucks up regularly and customers take it out on the restaurants - meanwhile UberEats runs away to the bank with their absurd per-ticket commissions for failing to fulfill their role.

Oh wait, no, they're not running away to the bank at all. Somehow despite running a truly shitty service and charging usurious fees to restaurants they are still losing money hand over fist.

I will say - I have misgivings generally about the gig economy, but I now exclusively use DoorDash. I've had a couple of screwups with them but they have always responded promptly in a no-bullshit way.
A lot of the Tokio console UI was inspired by `htop`, which provides a pretty similar overview of processes and threads. It doesn't really have the same ability to inspect things like `pthread_mutex` and timerfds etc in the same way that the Tokio console can inspect the state of `tokio::sync::Mutex` and `tokio::time::Sleep`, though; although I wonder if something like that could be possible with eBPF...
You're preaching to the same group of people who, in the main, oppose any regulation that restrict the ability of people to invest in anything they want to invest in.
$15 sounds about right. It may even be closer to $20. The reason we won't see a full ESPN only subscription anytime soon is that the current model allows them to collect $15/mo from everyone versus whatever the price would need to be if you are only selling subs to sports fans. It wouldn't surprise me if the subscription cost would be over $100/mo to keep the same revenues.

What happens to big time sports when the fans are priced out of the arena and priced out of watching on TV as well?
Here it is below - for us it was #4 which i should clearify was not vague just my tired memory of it - since once i received this i was very relieved and proceeded to sleep. I can tell they are definitely trying and IMO doing the right thing with their efforts below was the followup email that let us get sleep.

Earlier today, we provided you a notification with a list of instances that may still be running a version of log4j that has a known security vulnerability and needs to be patched. We want to provide you additional details about that email.

The list of instances was obtained by monitoring for specific DNS queries which are typically used when targeting the log4j vulnerability. These DNS lookups can indicate that someone is attempting to exploit the log4j vulnerability on your instance. Each of the instances provided has made a DNS lookup to one of the suspect domains between 12:00 AM and 11:59 PM PST on December 16th 2021. While we are not able to tell whether the instance was compromised, we strongly recommend that you take action to update log4j across all of your Java environments, whether they are publicly accessible or not.

In some cases, the list of instances included instance IDs that may not currently be present within your EC2 environment. This happened for a number of reasons:

1. EC2 instances may have been terminated since the scan was completed at 11:59 AM PST on December 16th 2021;

2. EC2 instances that have been stopped and restarted may appear with the incorrect instance ID;

3. ECS, EKS, and Fargate containers have been included with the underlying instance ID instead of the container ID;

4. EC2 instances used by underlying network services were erroneously included in the list of instances. These services are not themselves running unpatched log4j, but can be indicative of these DNS queries coming from within your VPC.

While it is not always possible for us to pinpoint the exact instances making these DNS queries, it is critically important that you patch all Java environments for the log4j issue, whether they are publicly accessible or not. To help you, we are also providing a 15-day free trial to Amazon Inspector which can assist you in finding vulnerable resources by scanning your Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances and container images for the log4j vulnerability.

Please take the steps explained in this security blog post [1] to protect your resources. You also can find more information about log4j in our security bulletin [2].

Yeah, you built your static site using about a million dependencies etc.

Now try building it with a DB, because that's what a lot of sites require. And yup, rails could easily give you that 16 years ago, with scaffolding and what not.

Because the video is quite short, and shows things unachievable with most (or all?) current frameworks. Like building a fully-functional DB-enabled app in under 15 minutes with introspection.
Autoplay with sound is a perfectly legitimate use case, but I agree with the status quo that it should not be allowed by default.

In general, the "not an acceptable use case" argument is almost always a harmful distraction - it angers people with legitimate use cases and that in turn gives fuel to those supporting it only for their own harmful use-cases. Call it what it is - a useful feature that happens to be commonly abused.
