I know the UK has a similar law to GDPR/is currently keeping GDPR on the books - but the actual GDPR only applies to the EU/EEC? (so not Britain after brexit?)
I read about 70+ books in a year (mostly fantasy and sci-fi novels). I usually finish a book around weekend and spend about 2 hours during weekdays. If a series is short and good, I'd usually just binge them together (am self-employed with not so strict timeline, so not an issue to take a few days off).
I'm the author, that's exactly it! The contents of that interceptors folder should give you an idea how it all works: https://github.com/httptoolkit/httptoolkit-server/tree/maste...

It actually doesn't install system certificates at all though. It doesn't change any system configuration whatsoever, and it doesn't need any admin/root privileges. The deb package doesn't do anything different to any others.

That's because the key differentiator of HTTP Toolkit vs Fiddler/Charles/mitmproxy etc, is that it provides targeted interception, rather than intercepting your entire system at once.

That works by injecting cert & proxy config into a single browser window, intercepting specific Android apps, targeting individual Docker containers etc. That way you get much less noisy intercepted traffic for your debugging, and you can freely add rules to rewrite/break traffic without interfering with anything else.

You can even open two HTTP Toolkit windows on one machine, and intercept things separately into each one.

If you want, you can still do the normal steps to do full system interception manually if you'd prefer that, but by default it uses entirely transient and permissionless targeted interception instead, and that's almost always the better approach.
I suspect that there’s only a tiny, tiny fraction of issues that are above the complexity that a linter and test framework can’t identify, but are below the complexity that requires deep codebase knowledge, and I would say that the overwhelming majority of value of code reviews is inside the issues that require deep codebase knowledge.

Maybe this service could be good to point out superficial security bugs though, but the infrequency of these coupled with the effort of external human engagement I think would be a barrier.

Also a few times in my career I’ve seen a team with no senior devs on it, they usually fail due to inexperience, maybe this service could help a team like this - who are producing a lot of really obvious mistakes …

Think about what this place would be if more people would use it like OP does. Why help OP and not <random person who posted for help but never got answers>? Why not help everyone who asks for help? This isn't Stack Overflow.
As somebody who's only dabbled in creating a personal website in the late 90s, using FrontPage and hosting on a free hoster, the current web seems like a completely, and way more complex beast to build websites for.

Back then all I needed was get a bit familiar with FrontPage and html scripting, some Photoshop to create/edit image elements, and I already had a functional website.

I knew if I wanted to "really" do it, I should probably learn proper html, but 15 years old me was already plenty proud of having a pretty good looking, and well working, website at all. It even had a visitor counter, and a guest book, all the Jazz that defined 90s websites, and that was enough for me.

Now, over 2 decades later, just the prospect of getting back into it seems so extremely more daunting and complex. We are now at Html5? At "Web 3.0"? I don't really know anymore, it's all just become so "vast" with so many options and so much complexity that I wouldn't even know where or how to start anymore.

Is it still viable to just learn plain html and do something with that? Have WYSIWYG editors matured so much that they can be used at least semi-professionally, or is that still "looked down upon"?
Yeah, but a streamlined "just works" setup would be much more useful (which the project really aims on).

Otherwise, yeah it's possible, but again, it has always been possible with more complicated (compared to this) tools anyway.

> The US has the resources to reward hard workers with financial stability.

Most hard workers in the U.S. are rewarded with financial stability. Not everyone, but enough that people still flock here from other countries where that's less true.

> It also benefits from brain-draining other countries with this promise.

Well gee, I guess the U.S. should stop being such a great place for immigrants, so talented people stop coming here and stay wherever they live now.
The OP used to work for me. He was a massive fan of Sanity before he went to work for them. I think that in part that is why he went to work for them. Knowing him, I am sure that he was was not consciously doing any product placement, rather showing what he genuinely feels about the product and heading off any conflict of interest concerns others might have.

As to the practice of product placement in blog posts. This is HUGE and the way that many bloggers make their living (although less so in dev). Affiliate marketing (getting paid for links to products & services) makes up around 10% of e-commerce transactions. It's been around for a long time and is likely to continue to grow as it's one of the few directly attributable sales channels (not without its issues however).

I'm fine with people monetizing their content, especially if it's useful and ad free. What is less comfortable is where people don't make it clear that they get paid for it.
Wall Street predicts expensive, bumpy 2022
Sickness from the shot is not my main concern. I'd love to see the whole risk profile for my case. I have a feeling that governments are doing "booster for everybody" for political reasons. They don't want to single out particular age group.
If 6G becomes just 5G+ we’ll have made a big mistake
She is specifically saying that people with breakthrough infections are infectious there, she isn't characterizing the overall impact of vaccination on transmission there.

A vaccine that fails to totally prevent transmission can of course still be reducing transmission (and this is likely the case with COVID).
One time payment? Surely being in this community you understand what maintenance and ongoing feature additions entail? The whole reason the software world turned to subscriptions is because one time payments don’t fit the model of continuous work.

Now saying it should be just cheaper in general, or perhaps more tiers, sure.
Or maybe you can learn to keep to yourself when someone says they don't want to interact with you? I don't get why folks like yourself can't stop being antisocial boors for five minutes especially on the Internet. Next, you'll tell us that private moderation is unlawful it if doesn't conform to your world view.
Thanks! Getting rid of notions like 'winning' and 'competition' in areas where it's not necessary was a mind changer for me. Even personal stuff like friendship becomes a competition this way (and I see it everywhere around me). Nowadays, I prefer to think about it as 'challenges' instead of competitions.

Since a few month I have a tab with this URL:

data:text/html,<html style="background:black;"><head><title>Black</title></head></html>

I don't need it very often, but turning the monitor off, creates other issues which were harder to fix than to use this tab ;-)
Actually.... Yea. In this case that's exactly what's happening. It's like if you got a job at McDonald's working minimum wage when you were 16 but then you never moved on.

Data?

Immigrants continue to do very well in the U.S., often succeeding to a greater extent than people born here.
You can't go by cases/day though--there's a cohort problem.

In the slow growth scenario, when you are at 20,000 cases a day, the deaths on that day are from the seeds of cases that started "long" ago. When you get to 20k on the back of a growth explosion, those cases are all "brand new."

This is not to say that it won't be less deadly, just that judging it that way is very flawed.
It's trivial to comply with the laws.

Honestly it is, we are dealing with huge amounts of medical-tier PII data(not actually medical, but as vulnerable as as protected).

It's just that companies are reluctant to give up the profiling powers they get from their current system.
I want a state that does things I'm in favor of and doesn't do the things I'm not in favor of. This is not me being "logically inconsistent" by "objecting situationally"; it's almost a tautology.
Get a Moderna. Omicron isn't the only variant that you have to worry about, Delta is still ravaging people (and the booster is much more effective against it).
I really love this idea. It's like static code analysis but with more specific feedback based on context. This could dramatically improve code written by junior and middle level engineers. I'd use it!

The only stumbling block seems to be that a lot of devs seem to be resistant to it. I'm not sure why that is; there's many forms of code review and feedback, from shallow to very deep. And I've seen many teams that fail to do proper code review. This could be an excellent introduction to proper practice for immature teams.
Thank you. I know, I am confused (and VERY concerned!) by the fact I had 2FA and they managed to get into my account and somehow stole money out of my bank account! It's made me very suspicious now of so much!

Sometimes the "download your information" option is there, but when I click on it just says an error.
Tailwind doesn't "solve CSS". It destroys it. Tailwind is nothing more than a layer of obfuscation on inline styles spelled directly. There's no semantic component.
The police should also have the capability of remotely stopping a running away car. Hopefully this feature will be standardized.
I had J&J in April, and it kicked my butt for a solid 24 hours. I got Moderna's booster in early Nov and had I not gone for a 12 mile run the morning afterwards, I probably wouldn't have noticed it. Obviously everyone will have different reactions, but thought I'd share my anecdote.
A service like this would only be able to find a certain class of issue. Basically syntax, but not semantics. There is no substitute for deep knowledge of a particular codebase.
The finance company becomes the owner once payments stop. Telsa is therefore helping the legal owner of the car. I don't have a problem with this.
The first digital music files I'd had contact with were mods downloaded from a BBS. (Or did they come in those computer magazines? Can't remember now.) Space Debris was among them. Listening to it now immediately brings me flashbacks of 13-year-old me with the same hundred mods on repeat on MOD4WIN, creating levels for Duke Nukem 3D and feeling quite da h4x0r on IRC. These were good times, and mods were just the perfect soundtrack for that. Thank you Markus!

By the way, it's still possible to listen to plenty of mods online on https://modarchive.org/
I have the same thing! I've always found it deeply perplexing to see people that don't understand something but think that they do. Particularly, because when you actually understand something, it's so obvious.

When I'm learning something, I have kind of a map in my head. I can just accurately keep track of the parts that are still fuzzy. In any subject, unknown unknowns are what will really trip you up. I think a big part of it is that I can use tiny context clues to predict and calibrate my understanding. Often, just knowing the NAME of a concept is enough for me to figure out what it's going to look like. (I did that with feynman path integrals for example.) SO I absorb those context clues and use them to try to keep some idea of what I DON'T know yet in that map.

In fact, I think it's closely tied with prediction in general. I remember in math, I'd take what we knew, or had been learning, and just take it to the absolute limits of my knowledge, or find it's absolutely limits until the idea breaks. I did that constantly. In doing so, I could often predict the next section of study. I think that habit gives you lots of practice in self-assessment of what you really know.

Conversely... when it comes to complicated subjects of complex systems like history/economics/geopolitics, where there is relatively poor feedback on "correctness" of ideas, I feel like ALL of my opinions are completely unfounded bullshit. People still seem to value them, but they have such a tenuous grip on reality.
People claiming that the voltage is an issue have little idea about modern power conversion. It’s doesn’t take much juice to drive the ringer - less than a watt.

Any basic ATA will easily drive a ringer.. ever seen a MagicJack? - it’s a complete USB telephone adapter and barely larger than a thumb drive. They aren’t greatly hackable - but something like a Grandstream HT801 can be opened and the board put inside and you basically have an entire telephone interface right there. They even support pulse dialing.
in California there are fewer dropoffs in stores but the bottles tend to come from residential recycling bins, which were raided while they were waiting for a truck to pick them up.
Yeah, I think that‘s a good idea.

The problem is stretching the definition of PII beyond it‘s breaking point to include shortened (!) IP addresses, anonymous identifiers and fingerprintable http headers. Now this forbids the transmission, not the storage, of such data. What‘s even the point anymore?
Regulations are written in blood. Eventually enough people will die from bad software that it will be regulated like engineering. The more we depend on computers the more likely this is to happen.
Love the vibrato.

It's great that he learned everything on his own, but also tells about the quite unambitious state of music education in most Finnish schools.
This is nothing new, back in Windows 95 days you could run arbitrary code on a machine just by sending network data.

It is also the kind of bugs that tend to get fixed fast once they are discovered.

The biggest attack vector has for many years been user negligence like randomly opening email attachments, following strange links or just click yes on any pop up.
Stay tuned. ;)
Edit: it's reusable/refillable bottles that I am remembering and referring to, and I'm happy to say the system in Germany seems to be strong, per Google.
I hear you. And I understand. I chose to remain but I get and accept the choice to leave as well. I'm not disputing the law around it is insane. I'm finding myself more and more ticked off every time I get a consent banner. The more I get ticked off the more I forget why that banner is there.
I don't have an Android device at all.
I'm always hopeful of pleasant resolutions to problems and always turn to search engines first - which for my job often comes up with stackoverflow content :-)

My hope is that IF this post leads to a helpful resolution then others searching for the same will find it here.

Or perhaps by educating our fellow techies we might, collectively, raise the bar so that others in the future don't fall foul of such problems.
Washington, DC, does not decline to prosecute, but there was a rash of catalytic converter thefts in my neighborhood not that long ago. I'd have guessed that these thefts are tied to the popularity of hybrid vehicles, in particular Priuses.
So like BURP Suite(https://portswigger.net/) but with fewer features?
Thank you. I'm not aware of the complications of developing an anti-viral for this disease (and I'm not going to go into the debate around existing anti-virals). I did not intend to be dismissive of the effort involved. I'm coming at it from a place of real frustration.

I can't see how this pandemic ends without an effective treatment.
Code the falls between between "I need an experienced team member to see the issue" and "A few static analysis tools would no doubt have seen it" must be vanishingly small.

For specific areas, I can see myself paying for external code review. For example some open source library authors sell it as a service, so they can review the specific parts of the code where the library is used. Rob Menschings FireGiant is one such example.

Security reviews (Audits) I can also see a good use for. The current practice here is already to have external non-domain-experts review the code. So making that simpler or more frequent is a net win. The reviews I see little use for would be normal feature code, (pull request reviews) which need a lot of context and domain knowledge to even begin to review.

Not audits, or reviews of specific areas or aspects of the code.
Great read, it would definitely help us on the long run.
Thanks for the tip with Poland and Ukraine! Do you have a link for a good AFF training provider? I found this one [1] which looks good.

> I would not call that "make it". Maybe once they own couple of houses or business.

You sound exactly like the snobby kids in the story, judging who can be proud of "making it" and who can't.

Anyone who doesn't own a couple houses or business should feel ashamed for not "making it".
Could you cite exactly where "they announced that Moderna is way better"? All official sources I can find say that Moderna and BioNTech are "gleichwertig" (equivalent).
I think part of the solution is to make sure there is a functional and tested decentralized system that's available as a fallback or failsafe, say in case the system(s) get captured by tyranny or authoritarians; and these fallback systems must be enshrined in policy/constitution, so that if they're ever attacked or targeted then that becomes a canary signal.

Data mobility could also perhaps be considered the other side of the decentralized coin.
To be clearer...

What is in national brand cigarettes is not tobacco, but a product made from tobacco that is almost entirely unlike tobacco. Tobacco is put in a vat, the nicotine is extracted, a mash is made into which nicotine is infused at higher levels than in natural tobacco, and 300+ known carcinogens are added called additives, from the mash a paper is made, the paper is sliced into little pieces, this is mixed with cut stems, whatever fell on the floor, and previous recycled product that was never sold, all stuffed into paper.

Natural tobacco, on the other hand, is grown, dried, and sold. Sometimes water is added.

Your claim is both products are equally lethal. If smoking pipe tobacco (which as I have always seen it sold, is natural tobacco, easy to tell by looking at it) is just as bad as smoking cigarettes, then adding 300+ carcinogens to cigarettes has no ill effects. This is what is absurd, because, of course adding 300+ carcinogens is going to make the product more lethal. The 300+ carcinogens is the reason why 400K Americans die every year do to smoking-related illness. Prior to the 1950's chemical revolution, the mortality rate of smokers did not even begin to approach this number. Beginning in the 1950's is when smokers started dying en mass every year.

There is a massive difference between natural tobacco and what is in cigarettes. The latter is lethal, the sole cause of the high mortality rates of smokers. The former is merely unhealthy. Pipe smokers that inhale live as long as non-smokers, and pipe smokers that do not inhale live longer than non-smokers. That's what the US Surgeon General report says.

Am I getting through?
As a european i am always baffled by the amount of support that the GDPR cookie laws gets from co-europeans. I understand it as a way to create busywork for lawyers, lowly developers and copywriters but it doesnt provide me anything tangible as a developer in return, nor as a consumer (in fact browsing the web without a anti-anti-cookie browser extension is horrible).

What do people get as benefit from all this irrelevant madness? Do people think they are really not being tracked or their communications not spied? And, has it helped european tech in a way that i have missed?
This is genius. It even feels kinda hacky.

Obviously subjective, but it’s so-so in my opinion.

I would to know how much traffic this website receives
Good point. Apple can be compelled to provide the link. IP addresses are PII because ISPs can be compelled to provide the link, so it‘s the same thing.
I was reading a lot in the newsgroups starting in 1992 and saw a steady increase in http URLs being included in posts, and IIRC there was never a time when the frequency of gopher URLs exceeded that of http ones.

Note that the web is older than Gopherspace with the first gopher site appearing in mid-1991.

While looking up that last fact, I see that there was heavy interest in gopher by colleges and universities. Maybe our experiences differ because you were in college then?
Healthcare workers take many years to train. When they die of COVID, go on long term disability because of long COVID, or burn out because they can't mentally handle watching another willfully unvaccinated person die, that person is irreplaceable in the short term.
Let me try: This looks way too cheap to be able to afford good enough reviewers to be worth using; if someone is good enough to be able to pick up a new codebase and usefully review changes that quickly, they'd get a better paying job.
I forgot I had it installed on my phone, but clicking the link opened, to my surprise, the Simply Piano app. Why you'd associate your app with that domain for legitimate purposes is a bit of a mystery to me.
hm. Read Aaronson and agree it would be fraudulent and ridiculous to force teaching to the lowest common denominator in service of "trendy" classes. I have no idea what that "Ra" shite is about and after reading 6 paragraphs I can't distinguish it from any other bonkers internet rant.
My 3yo daughter got a blood clot in her thumb that caused the entire tip above the last knuckle to get purple, then black, then essentially die off due to lack of blood flow.

She was in the hospital for something different at the time so doctors were able to watch it closely. It looked really bad: blackish grey and stiff like she had gotten frostbite.

The hand specialists warned us that amputation might be necessary if it gets infected, but said ideally they just "wait and see."

Sure enough, three weeks later they were able to literally just pull off the dead part and find a new thumb growing underneath!
