""Don't trust user input" hass been a fundamental rule of security for a long time, and it was reasonable to assume the log4j authors were aware of it. So the current situation is not that requirements have suddenly became stricter, it's simply that log4j broke a fundamental assumption about its API."

Once you see it this way, the whole "open source is broken" debate goes out the window. It was just a bug. A bad one, but not anything that hasn't happened before and won't happen again, open source or not.

"Yes, free software devs can smugly repeat their stance of "it's a gift so don't complain, no guarantees about anything" - but if everyone took this serious, no one could use free software for anything critical, so the free software movement would be mostly dead."

Free software devs have to smugly repeat "no guarantees about anything" in the same way that non-free software development has to do it: Otherwise all software development would be mostly dead.
After all the problems with lastpass, who was even trusting them at this point?
That number I think matches what flu hospitalization is for children.

Otoh (not saying you don't know this) viruses don't just "kill" or "not kill".

They can have serious, life altering changes on people. So just measuring hospitalization or death isn't that useful.
I don't recall which of Simone Weil's works this is from, but in terms of suggesting the ineffectiveness of rights, she presented this dialog of one person pleading with a much more powerful one:

For years, fraudulent “academics” have pushed phony concepts like “white empiricism”, and no one aside from far-right types, hungry for ammunition to use against their ideological enemies, bothered to seriously criticize this gibberish…
Now that it’s going mainstream, it’s kind of funny to see people freak out about it and realize just how entrenched their interests are, and how for a huge number of scientists, ideological orthodoxy is far more important than the philosophy of science
Will this be a neutralizing vaccine? I like the idea of mRNA based vaccines but unless it prevents infections and is permanent like for polio, I don’t see any great uptake if it’s expected to decompose rapidly like the COVID vaccines.
Yes, indirectly. WebKit was a fork of KHTML, and later replaced it entirely.
I personally don't think there is anything wrong with "Onlyfans for stock trading", but I think "Patreon for stock trading" is a more general-public-palpable option, and fits just as well.
There would probably need to be a case study to see if overworking, booting, and hiring new workers is more cost effective than investing in better work conditions.

My money is on better work conditions being a better investment long term. It'd reduce turnover. Less time hiring/training new employees, and the employees you keep are happier, stick around longer, and become more efficient at their job through experience.
> The idea is the foreign key name is usually the same as the referenced table

I think this is where you are hitting some of your turbulence here because lots of ORMs / schema management tools actually generate completely cryptic fk names (sometimes based on the hash of the columns or similar). Personally I think weighing in legacy baggage like that too highly is a bad thing as it creates enormous inertia.
It is one thing to say a car creates pollution while moving passengers for x km and another thing to say, we wasted time, money and lot of computing power that are required by lot of computers competing to update a boolean flag in a database.

You'll have to back that up somehow. I strongly believe that that it is false - for generations, both parties supported the free press and put freedom and democracy first. Even in Watergate, it was a narrow attack on the press and the Republicans eventually turned on Nixon. That is no longer true.

The world isn't equal, and both-sidism is a great way to try to divert people from taking action - nobody is wrong or evil, everyone is. We need to distinguish right and from wrong and to act, now. We need to use our free will, our free moral choice, to choose and act right. We will get the consequences we choose and act upon.
miners pay energy bills, ergo seek out cheap energy. the cheapest energy is usually hydro. the efficiency directly impacts their bottom line.
This isn't some abstract argument about your view of the world. This is a blogpost about a potentially very serious system fault. Customers want to know what the root cause of the fault was, so that they can evaluate whether to continue to do business with the company or not. It's very cut and dry.
One answer I haven't seen mentioned yet is to use a carrier who lacks a physical presence (e.g. many MVNOs). I'm not sure if the MVNO security infrastructure can be circumvented by employees at the source network's physical stores, however. E.g. if I use Boost Mobile, can a Verizon store employee override the PIN I've set?

Of course the best answer is to not rely on SMS or voice call 2FA, but as others point out, some services only support these insecure options.
That's like saying that cab drivers are incentivized to maximize their gas consumption.

No, miners are actually incentivized to minimize their energy consumption while maximizing output.
> If I give you a puppy, and it gets sick, should the vet bill me?

> If I gave you a car, and the wheels fall off two years later, is that my problem?

So in Western culture there's this notion that a gift creates no further obligations. The recipient should just be happy he got what he got and not expect anything more. As if to say, at least you didn't get nothing, you can still get nothing, you want nothing?

I would say with the puppy if it gets sick and the recipient can't afford it, you should accept paying the bill. Before it was the "giftee's" puppy, it was your puppy for some small amount of time after you got it and before you gave it. Surely when you gave me a puppy you expected me to be able to keep it alive, right? And as for the car, it's not right to give someone a car whose maintenance they can't afford. The puppy and the car are two excellent examples of gifts that cannot be given without forming a relationship between the giver and the receiver.

On the other hand a gift you can give and split and that's it is food or money. Just handing money to a beggar, he might ask for more, and you can walk.

In some African cultures it's more like, if you do me a favor, do me another favor, and then we're true blue and you can rely on me to help you in return, but never in a tit-for-tat manner. It's in the book Debt: The First 5000 Years.

Covid: Woman isolates in toilet for five hours after positive mid-flight test
I'm with you on this one. I prefer it to be in your face simple to understand over the terse-ness.

In the gist example, I actually prefer the SQL-92 approach where we are joining given an explicit comparison condition. Every other implementation seems to be trying to hide details, for what gain? Less typing?

In order to use FOREIGN, you will need to know not just what columns a table has, but also their configuration. Which would also require that you have properly configured your tables. While this shouldn't be a hard ask, it does add additional dependency and makes use of this "tool" slightly less "portable" between systems.

I have unfortunately seen cases where people will only have foreign keys un-enforced by their table config. As a dev, if you're introduced to a new DB, you wont know immediately if you can use this, and if things are configured wrong, you need to make a pretty significant change to be able to use it.

I don't see a lot of harm from adding this syntax however as people are free to not use it and it relies on an existing strict convention.
There is an interesting relationship between frequency domain filtering and the distributional properties of a signal, which I believe the author encounters:

So interestingly, the IDFT method makes noise that is gaussian distributed. This kind of makes sense because we are filling out frequencies as uniform random white noise, which are turning into uniform random white noise sinusoids that are being summed together, which will tend towards a gaussian distribution as you sum up more of them. In contrast, the void and cluster method makes uniform distributed values which are perfectly uniform.

One of the papers I'm most proud of co-authoring explains some aspects of this phenomenon [0] through the use of higher order spectra (the bispectrum, trispectrum, etc...) and how the geometry of frequency-domain filters affects skewness and excess kurtosis.

> But why does the average experience suck so much?

to the current crop of web designers/developers/etc, they literally may not remember a time when the web was a lot faster.

they don't remember the days of websites loading just fine (ok, most of the time..) over a 56k modem. they've grown up with the web the way it is, javascript and all.

that's what I gather, anyway.
Good points, and I too found the tone to be overly libertarian - as if the author made all his life decisions to prioritize personal happiness over the collective.

No doubt his opinions are shaped by background: He is publishing in a conservative website, was former policy advisor to Sen Josh "Stop the Steal" Hawley, and works for the Heritage Foundation - a conservative think tank.

However, rhetoric and politics aside, his central argument that "Stanford's policies are based on incomplete information and may be too restrictive. Thus I will not be coming to campus" seems to me quite valid. If school is to be done remotely, there is no reason to be in Palo Alto. And if the situation is changing on a weekly basis, it is prudent to observe.

He could have said it in a lot fewer words!

It is 100 percent Apple's responsibility to guarantee safe and humane working conditions for all workers at every level in its supply chain.

The idea that this is Foxconn's responsibility, or that Apple is "unable" to proactively monitor what happens at these plants is just BS.
i hope someone realizes prosecuting this would mean the government thinks it is illegal to use a webbrowser to request HTML et. al. from a webserver.

by extension missouri is deliberating a court case that questions the legality of public access to WWW.
It also ignores chains like Tezos that don't use proof of work.
I'm not talking about defendant and DAs (which I agree with you about). I'm talking about a political party and elected officials (including a governor in this case, recently a president) actively trying to shut down the free press.
Marine Traffic has some pictures of the Tropic Breeze.[1] Pictures of a large oil tanker in the Jamaican Observer[2] are unrelated. The Tropic Breeze looked like a work boat with a big liquid natural gas tank on deck. Destination was Great Stirrup Cay, a 200+ acre island owned by Norwegian Cruise Lines and used as a stopping point for their cruise ships. The cruise line has a resort there.

Not yet clear if the collision happened in open ocean or maneuvering near an island.

I see. I should have read the article more carefully :-)
Same here. I didn’t even realize that was an option. As a relative beginner to SQL, is there a real reason the JOIN syntax was needed at all beyond special inner/outer joins?
People really seem to struggle with multiple facts.

It is a fact otherwise healthy kids hardly ever have serious COVID infection consequences.

It is a fact they give infections to others who don't do as well.

It is a fact many kids aren't otherwise healthy and have a much higher rate of death and complications.

It is a fact that even a very small rate of deaths or complications is a lot of dead kids when you're a big country like the USA.

Yet people pick only one fact and act like it is the one true fact that trump's all overs.
I agree that this would be an improvement, but I see two problems:

1) This would require law enforcement, attorneys, judges, and juries to learn how the Internet works. For most people, what a server sent is what you can see in a web page. Concepts like server and client aren't ubiquitous.

2) This doesn't account for vulnerabilities. If I use an open source package that has a security flaw, and that flaw is exploited causing my server to send sensitive data, did I still implicitly authorize this because the server was acting as an agent of my interests? I probably need to be held accountable, but surely the attacker is not innocent. If we agree on this, then how do we craft a law that draws the line between incrementing a query parameter and remote code execution?
To me this situation seems more like a store owner forgetting to lock the door the somebody noticed, came inside put up a sign on the front window saying that the store owner is too stupid to lock his own door and then calling the owner to tell him about this.
I wonder the same thing. Civil Asset Forfeiture is at least as awful and should offend everyone regardless of their stance on current political hot topics. Yet it appears to go on unaddressed.
This is weird to me. The initial line says per the article with the following block of text seemingly looking like from the article and then the last sentence says it’s paraphrased.

Why not just quote the article and add brackets to any words you decide to add? It’s borderline misleading.
Pre-COVID you couldn't find a 1br in a safe neighborhood for less than $3-3.5k. Less than 2k gets you something in the Tenderloin, which is the opposite of safe. Add food (~$700 because high cost of living), car payments (~$450 for an econobox), car insurance (~$200 because SF has a lot of break-ins and theft), health insurance, utilities (also expensive as fuck in NorCal due to cost of living), phone/internet bills, and you can realistically hit $5k/mo in expenses.

According to this calculator [1] post-tax a $100k salary nets you $5500/mo in San Francisco. This is mostly due to high state taxes. So you are basically living paycheck to paycheck despite making 6 figures and living a pretty standard life, which is moronic no matter how much you look at it.

If I'm reading the article correctly, the legal threats were from the authors of the retracted article. Dr. Lisco only sent the journal an email notifying them of the plagiarism.

I don't think so. Rate of infection and risk of illness are two separate statistics that may not be correlated. It doesn't mention whether the child hospitalization rate is higher or lower for Covid vs the flu. The near-record numbers are only compared to previous Covid hospitalizations. All that means is we are close to having as many sick children with covid as we have had at any point since the pandemic started. It doesn't say anything about severity compared to flu.

Comparing hospitalization rates with the flu is difficult. If a child has Covid and has moderately severe symptoms, they are probably more likely to go to the hospital than a child with the same level of symptoms and the flu, just because Covid is less familiar. That is especially true if you are looking at flu hospitalizations from pre-pandemic periods. Comparing mortality would probably be more relevant. A child with the Flu in 2019 was probably not going to go to the hospital unless she was turning blue or had an extremely high fever. With Covid i would probably take my child to the hospital if she was having any difficulty breathing, at a threshold much lower than what I would have gotten concerned about for the flu.

That may or may not be a valid distinction for a parent to make. This research suggests that a parent of a child with flu or covid should probably have the same level of precaution.

I have been programming heavily on QWERTY keyboards for 30+ years

I still look at the keyboard to type. (Glances to ensure focus has not moved... Love emacs' case changing commands for when the caps-lock pressed)

I have thought about learning to touch type - yes, one day.

I have tried clisubg my eyues (that is "closing my eyes") to type....

What is the use, really? I spend so much time thinking about and reflecting on code and so little actually writing it
I'd love to learn a little more; I'm unlikely to move family from Michigan to Massachusetts but I'm professionally curious.

What's your stack like? Are you building your own motion control gear to run on off-the-shelf manipulators, running ROS, RoboDK, or similar on commercial arms, or something in the middle?

I've got lots of experience with "off-the-shelf" robotic arms like Fanucs, Densos, and Epsons, as well as experience with embedded and general-purpose programming languages like C, Lua, C#, and Python. Achieving reasonable fault tolerance and flexibility is hard enough in controlled environments of the automation cells I've built, but I estimate that fully automated trailer load/unload would be almost completely intractable without access to a general-purpose programming language.

The disparities between the two fields have lead to lots of frustration with the hamstrung vendor development environments that either make it impossible to type text at all, or restrict you to idiosyncratic Basic-but-not that's been chained to a slow-moving manufacturer since the 80s. It almost makes me want to throw out the vendor's kinematics and IO to just hook the servos directly to an EtherCAT bus, or to throw out the robot controller replace it with a generic CNC controller. Have you finally done that? Programming robots in Python as you describe would be blissful in comparison to some of the vendor tooling I've used!

The arm in your videos looks a little like the Tormach ZA6 arm that I've been following; is that the OEM you are using?
Open minded to anything.

And then use critical analysis to hack the concept apart and see, if it is solid or not.

I for example, see the common racism concept as not solid for lots of reasons. But I am open to listen to arguments from the other side in general.

Does the saddle look the same for COVID? Newborns are certainly uniquely susceptible to any illness, but I've not seen evidence that toddlers (2-4) are at especially high risk. Does anyone have data on how serious illness affects kids at these ages?
Current variants are significantly more infectious (R0 used to be around 2.5-3.0 for the ancestral strain, Delta was 5+, Omicron estimates go up to 10). Vaccine efficacy is also reduced for these variants. We've also scaled back non-pharmaceutical interventions in many places.
Sounds cool, but I'm only doing remote work going forward.
I made no suggestion either way, but I see you’ve switched from providing the dollar and percentage increase to dollar increase only for some reason.

Are profits good or bad? Should they have profit from the vaccine?
Right. As I dug up, the warning was introduced sometime in 4.3, which could be as far back as 2011. It looks like it was helpful in hunting down the VLA's.

I don't know what point of view you're talking about; what the are discussing in the mailing list are silly uses of VLA that can be replaced by small arrays of fixed length sized to the worst case. These perform better, too.

This is not always practical in every situation.

C itself dynamically allocates from the stack. When a function is called, the increment in stack usage depends on which function. (If recursion is going on, it may not be easy to know the worst-case stack size, even if every function has a static frame size.)

Anyway, similarly, suppose we have used C to write a virtual machine. Suppose the virtual machine allocates function locals and temporaries on the native stack. When a VM function call is processed, the VM (a C program) has to allocate a frame for that. a VLA or alloca can provide that easily, with minimal waste.

My point being that there's no reason engineering teams shouldn't be 50/50 male/female, but the reality is more like 90/10. Why does the other 40% never show up despite our best efforts? It's cultural.
They specifically refer to the increased rate of hospitalization in the article. Their refutation is that about half of the hospitalizations are actually due to other reasons like broken bones and that mandatory Covid tests uncover an otherwise asymptomatic case. However due to reporting rules, apparently these cases are still considered Covid hospitalizations.
I don't think that's how the world works. Just because you hate Apple, doesn't make it any different. I have a friend who runs a B2B sales company, by selling things like pencils and cups with logos on them, and he frequently communicates with a wide variety of factories who make those things, and in none of the factories does he have any control over how they do work, or what process they follow. But according to your logic, he should? And not only _should_, but it's his *responsibility*? Or do you just make this argument selectively based on how much money the company has who hires a factory? Because then again, you just hate Apple.
if it's half as likely to send you to the hospital but it spreads four times as quickly, it will still send twice as many people to the hospital.
