> An Operating System is a program that multiplexes hardware resources and makes them safely usable by a number of applications. If the design of that system is flawed, how could a capability-safe language do anything to correct the problem?

A capability-safe language safely multiplexes hardware and software resources among different parts of the same application. So, even if every application has the privilege to crash your computer, delete all your files, or exfiltrate your Bitcoin and ssh keys, not all the code in the application would. For example, your logging library doesn't need those authorities, so the rest of the program wouldn't pass them in.

> Memory safe, and even capability safe languages won't do any good, if the underlying OS doesn't enforce the will of the user, but instead freely gives the users authority to any program they happen to run, intentional or otherwise.

It is necessary to enforce the user's desired limits the authority on each application to prevent damage from malicious applications, but capability-safe languages (or hardware, like CHERI) can in most cases prevent damage from confused applications and from confused or malicious libraries.

> I'm not saying memory or capability safety isn't useful, I'm just saying it isn't sufficient.

I agree, but capability safety properly integrated with the user interface may be sufficient, as long as the capability system is sufficiently expressive to express the will of the user. (For example, KeyKOS's capability system includes keys to use limited amounts of CPU time, while E has no effective way to keep malicious code from denying access to a whole vat once it starts running; killing a running process because they're using too much CPU or memory requires some way to recover from their failures, which E does not have.)
How much time will a laptop owner actually spend repairing or modifying their laptop? How about judging a laptop with how it is to use for the 2000+ hours a year that it is just a laptop?
"Ritual prayer is the core exercise." - well, you also work your legs and glutes when you stand up, and there is a good back stretch in there.

Develops a good sense of direction too.

Fasting for a month from sun up to sun down kind of kills gains though, and isn't enough time to go into ketosis, so I am not sure what that's all about (well, I know what's it's about from the book perspective, just not from the gains perspective).
This isn't really deleting it though. What happens if in the future technology changes and current cryptography is moot?
What I have read is that the M1 is fast and efficient to train small models w/ Tensorflow but NVIDIA wins for big models.
Their bar for how much I might want to know about this subject is clearly set very low. I was expecting a full analysis, not just "we can only thrust away from the Sun and L2 is a metastable point so we have to always under-thrust slightly" but repeated about 4 times.
Somerville was also a helpful influence in Ada's life, according to this passage in London Lights by James Hamilton, a fascinating book about scientists and artists on the London scene in those days:

Ada Byron began to make a habit of going to Babbage's with the Somervilles ...
Her natural brilliance in the abstract language of mathematics that few understood, her disturbed upbringing as Byron's daughter, and the elevated position in society it was her lot to display and maintain created a confused and uncertain young woman. ... It was the rare piece of real good fortune for Ada, however, that she had the sensible and structured example of Mary and William Somerville's family life to balance her self-absorption, the insistence of her many suitors, and Charles Babbage's frantic self-certainty. ...
Because LastPass is beyond stupid and uses your master password to log in to their bbulletin or whatever php forum.

That’s what got me to write and publish this: https://neosmart.net/blog/2017/a-free-lastpass-to-1password-...

EDIT: "or whatever" means I couldn't remember the name of the php forum notorious for its insecurity, I thought it was something like 'bbulletin'. It was phpBB.
The thing of it is, so far as I can remember because this was years ago, it was just rather normal forums and subreddits, news, what's going on today type of stuff, not particularly 'edgy' areas of the internet.

It reminds me of a more extreme version of the anti-cursive sentimentality that sometimes comes up.

I sometimes think there is a technological orthodoxy, of sorts. Older people are tolerated for their use of typewriters, fountain pens, or DOS-era WordPerfect/Wordstar, but if younger people start 'backsliding' or 'degenerating' then it's seen as a problem.
Not if you're bottlenecked on memory bandwidth or capacity.
Extremely unlikely. Only if the maintainers do a complete 180. So far you are ridiculed if you raise security concerns.
> He knew he would end up on the cross before he even took on human form. He could have left at any time. He can return any time he wants.

Is any of this actually a part of Christian canon? It's not clear to me that by describing Jesus as "God", we're meant to understand that he's omniscient (is Yahweh/"The Father" God even omniscient in Christian canon?) or omnipotent with respect to his human form.
I was raised with religion and then later realized it doesn't make sense, I went through a lot of the same feelings

You could still have subjective value even if there's no "sea level" from which to assign an absolute value. "Value" is a pretty abstract concept and something everyone probably has to define for themselves, but at least depending on your definition _everything_ could have value - maybe not to you, or maybe not right now, but in some sense it still "ultimately" does - and that's pretty cool too

An "Angular developer" would know that.
Yes, I do copy/paste from my local password manager. A clipboard scraper is a possibility, yes.

I hadn't logged into that LastPass account for years, so it's definitely not me who attempted to login earlier.

Re: LastPass, is there another cloud-based tool that's generally considered as more trustworthy? Bitwarden? Thanks
It kinda does, partially and indirectly. The study indicates it's not a matter of them eating less sucrose, the benefits actually don't show up in the absence of sucrose in the diet. It essentially acts like soluble fibre.

Of course the micro-nutrients that would be in the broccoli don't materialize out of nowhere.
The web is all about large companies making large profits now.
Break those up via legislation. Open source all their tech for the good of mankind.

this allows little guys to run whatever business they want from the hardware up.

This is mostly an economy of scale problem

Oh and get rid of the idea that big governments need backdoors and to break encryption etc to do their job.
> Not surprisingly Wilson's comment of "Great idea, wrong species." was about communism for which it was very apt (communism doesn't scale for humans), not socialism.

What do you think that Rack "tries to mimic [ from hardware ]" that Bitwig's grid does not? Are you just refering to the knobs etc.? If so, that's not in Rack's domain at all: module developers control their module's appearance, and there some which are extremely skeuomorphic, and some which are not. Bitwig's Grid is uniform and consistently non-skeuomorphic, but is also (IIUC) not open to 3rd party device/module development.
You may have intended to comment on a different article, since not only does your comment not relate to anything in my comment it was related to, it doesn't relate to the security approach being discussed in the article the entire thread is about.
The thesis isn’t that drugs aren’t inherently addictive at all, it’s that the addictiveness (which I’m defining as the degree to which it is difficult for people to stop using) is estimated to be higher than the inherent addictive properties of the drug would actually imply.

It’s not to say that the drugs don’t cause cravings, it’s that people without the aforementioned issues have a much more straightforward ability to manage those cravings.
It's to hide the fact that inside, the test is just a piece of chemically treated paper that costs less than 1 EUR to produce. That way people don't get as mad when they have to pay $200 for them.
2mb of scripts actually seems impressively small. I'd say kudos to the author for practicing what she preaches.
I think you've got it backwards. The default assumption is that only the natural world exists. If something is not understood, the assumption should be that it has natural causes. A supernatural cause would imply the existence of something outside of natural causes, and to assert that that something exists without being able to demonstrate it is where the unfounded confidence lies.
The magic of JLCPCB is that they can do SMT mounting quickly, cheaply and for as low as 3-5 boards. My standard iteration time is about 8 days (which includes shipping from Shenzhen to SF Bay Area) and it liberates me from a need running an assembly shop locally and I can spend more time on what matters.

Traditional SMT houses usually have very rigid and expensive processes on setting up their Pick&Place machines, so giving them JLCPCB heterogeneous volume would not necessarily yield their interest.
Jesus was God in flesh. So God the father is separate but connected. ( I'm a little under qualified to describe the exact nature of the Holy Trinity)

So God the father has always been looking over creation. After Jesus ascended to heaven the Holy Spirit was sent to help the church in place of Jesus her on earth.

Jesus was God in flesh so he purposely limited himself to experience all that we experience, to suffer all that we suffer. There is nothing that He can't empathize with.

There was also the spiritual law that had to be satisfied. The price of sin is death. Under the Mosaic covenant there were sacrificial animals used to pay that price. Jesus payed that price for all who are willing to take up their cross and follow him.
Get rid of email!!!

To a much lesser degree, get rid of browsers.

Replace Window based graphical computing with something more natural and intuitive since modern hardware can handle a lot more than 30 years ago.

Decentralized micro-services where any random person can foot the bill (or directly provide) for services where trust and performance is directly tied with profit and are measured near-realtime. Think how cloud providers and vps providers work except the market is akin to how AD networks sell placement/engagement.

Reduce or remove most site registrations. Just let me set a freaking account name and take my money and participation!
Sorry, what do you mean by "to log in to their bbuletin or whatever php forum"?

According to LastPass, they don't have access to the master password // presumably it's not stored on their side. Is that accurate..?

Thanks
Does the assembly listing look sensible to anyone? It's been a long time but to me it looks like the disassembly of random bytes. "Jam rts"? "Nop $60"? "Brk brk sta Routine_0c86"? And a ton of raw un-assembled ".byte"?
Why do you recommend others to stop using LastPass?
> early investors cashing out as gullible later investors buy in

This isn't the Ponzi dynamic. Full stop. In a Ponzi scheme, early investors suffer just as much as later investors if they never cash out.

"Buy low sell high" (and the reverse) is not the Ponzi dynamic. Speculative asset bubbles do not require continual new investment. They are essentially zero sum games, and if they are traded thinly enough, can be propped up by a tiny band of holders (or even a single trader doing wash trades!).

Ponzi schemes are frauds, but not all frauds are Ponzi schemes.
Christ, I still have a welder that I made myself. It uses a round ferromagnetic core I found in a scrapyard.

I forgot how many windings it has, I think around 300 on the input side and 40 on the output.

Wiring it was a major pain in the ass, as the core is round, a closed circle.

And it draws too much current when idle, which means I have not used enough wire on the input side or the core is too small, fuck knows, I was 14 when I made it.

It does weld well, especially on DC through 4 huge diodes I also found in some scrap.

Sorry for my English, I'm drunk and tired.
"The Entire World Finds Lockdowns Effective, And Other Silly Stories For Dim Witted Adults" by Nico Sap

Everyone thought Semmelweis was wrong, too. If your heuristic for what is correct is the fact that everyone is doing it, well... I have some news for you.
If that happens, it should gracefully degrade and provide a load more link.
The application I'm working on has about 8K lines of bare bones C + Win32 + some optional OpenGL currently. It probably has about 5 lines of repetitive cleanup code that can't be easily folded into a single place (so might benefit from RAII style cleanup). If I want to properly release even "static" resources so the app can be used as a library (which is not necessary), that number might grow to 20 lines.

It's not something I'm sweating about, and I'm happy about all the time I saved by not doing "proper" RAII design prematurely, which has more ramifications and constraints than one might think.
Vaccine mandates are as American as George Washington who issued the first one in 1778 to stop the spread of smallpox which was killing more of his troops than the enemy.

He's presumably not anticipating having children with mental issues, and doing what he can to not instill them.
The "Highway Patrol" TV series of the 1950s was a precursor of the car chase genre, as were some notable film noirs that elevated car pursuits as story lines i.e. High Sierra, White Heat. Agreed that Bullitt is exemplary, but don't forget The French Connection, Duel, Easy Rider, Two Lane Blacktop, and Vanishing Point and you have some great car/bike films of Bullitt's era. The hoaxy C'etait un Rendez-vous is likewise great if you don't do the time/distance math.
CLAP (like every other audio/MIDI plugin API) does not cover single-sample processing, which one of the core design ideas in Rack's module API.

And as an aside, CLAP has almost nothing in it that LV2 didn't already offer, and nothing that could not have been added to LV2 using the extension mechanism, but a rather severe case of NIH pushed things in the direction that they eventually went. It's quite unfortunate.
Same as anything in amateur radio. There'll be a lot of hints at what you're doing from the shape of your broadcasts, and there's a lot of amateur radio enthusiasts that'll call the feds on you if they get a hint that you aren't following the rules.
Cormac McCarthy famously used the same Olivetti Lettera 32 for 46 years. When it eventually broke down, he sold it at an auction and bought an identical (functional) model.

In my limited experience, when you want to interact with C libraries, you often end up reading the docs of the original C library anyway because often the bindings are nearly 1:1 - and often the trouble lies in the word "nearly".

Just writing yourself the bindings you actually need is most likely the best approach.

It should be relatively easy to do, because by using something like Lua you goal is precisely to expose functionalities implemented by your language as Lua functions (otherwise you would just convert them into dynamic library functions and use a classic glue language with a decent FFI to connect them).

This is the value proposition of an embeddable scripting language at heart.
My professional bias had me expect people wiring Ethernet cables in 6.23 seconds, crimper in a carbon fiber holster.
The IRC networks I used did not block VM's and rented servers from proxying my connection or using an IRC client from a tmux/screen session. Back then I could use visa gift cards to rent machines. That is harder to do now.

Discord in most cases will prevent people from doing this. Most people should be ready to click all the crosswalks, buses, traffic lights forever in a loop.
If you s/Ponzi/fraud/g in your last sentence, it's true. As written, it is false.
How does this work? I looked at the source and don't see anything specifically related to scrolling.
> Yes there is a huge difference with the latter being a 1,000 British colonial-era holdover that's home to the largest tax haven hub in the world.

In what sense is it a colonial-era holdover? Unless you mean Norman colonialism.
Yeah I'd like to see that too. One site I think that does a fantastic job is sourcehut. It actually has a little bit of JS, e.g. for the builds page to stream results, but it's fast and light, and measured to be fast.

And it's a pretty big and functional site.

https://sourcehut.org/

https://forgeperf.org/

I've looked at the source code and it's very straightforward Flask apps and Jinja templates, and hand-written JavaScript.

https://sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sourcehut/sources

For people who don't remember, the result is very similar to how Google looked ~15 years ago -- Google News, Froogle, search results, etc. The underlying tech was different, but the result is the same. Google just used C++ and the "google-ctemplate" language.

I wish that every food ordering app was written like this.

I mean all they are doing is displaying a list of pictures and then providing a checkout experience -- it's literally eBay from 1998, but 1000x slower.

It would also be like 10x faster than a native app on phone if it were written like that.

In fact Google has a lightning food ordering app right on the search results page that proves the point! However I tend not to use it because I don't think it's good to let the search provider "hijack" the traffic intended for restaurants. i.e. presumably the restaurant will put their preferred vendors on their sites, which is almost never Google, and is instead some really slow and janky app :-(
Can you actually summarize the nature of the beliefs? All major religions/belief systems can be summarized in a sentence or two.

e.g. Buddhism - if you want things, you suffer, stop wanting things, said the prince who got bored with being rich and spoiled.
Foone has specifically asked that their tweets not be submitted here.
I want the same thing and I'm also not techie. During my research <still ongoing> I've just been saving lots of stuff. I came across dashboard type programs: www.finalboard.com seems to be the best of them because it's FOSS.

But again the difficulty is that if you aren't techie...you have to hire someone and then TRUST them to build it for you and not retain access etc.

Fetchrss.com generates an rss feed from any source and I think it can be added to finalboard also. The Twitter issue is harder for me because I refuse to sign up even though I go to several folks tweetstorms. I wish they had a "follow-only" account one could sign up for....
there's a healthy overlap between the people who think that open source licenses are unenforcable, and the people who think masks don't work.

Yep, highlights made in Alfread are synced to Readwise. We don’t have annotations yet but stay tuned.
Lol, yeah it has been mentioned: someone said that it’s a poor choice of the name since it’s so similar to Alfred. Naming is one hell of a challenge
I don't think that's possible, more likely an extension that has access to the login form of lastpass
Seems like you're overloading the word religious to mean an idea that someone holds either very strongly, has a philosophical component or believes on faith (e.g. insufficient evidence or not thoroughly examined). All of this could be true, but that's not really religion.

As defined, religion is "the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.". Nothing about a strongly held belief, even one lacking evidence, makes it religious.
Gotcha. yeah I agree on all of that.
You should probably spend ten minutes reading an introduction to capabilities then so you can understand the basic concepts before commenting. I don't know what to recommend nowadays, but mlinksva posted a link to one.

That's actually exactly what the study concludes. They say children do experience those symptoms, but adapt as adults and are better off for it.
I don't care about downloading anything either. Does it allow me to watch Netflix at the resolution I pay them for?
"Our guess is that as they age"

They are guessing and they are wrong. Higher levels of acetate are just as bad as lower levels of acetate. You know what also raises acetate levels? The metabolism of Alcohol.

The Inuit need a different diet. They do not "get used to" these sugars.

And why should someone who is lactose intolerant eat lactose? We have been getting around this for years by making yogurt and cheese.

We'll probably get the calibration images before the six months from now when regular science missions start if they go according to plan as it's great press. Also there's a chance that there's a delay on the science mission images to allow for academic publishing.
I'm not an atheist nor have I attempted to define what it means. So please know this is a genuine question.

Does your definition mean the rejection of all spiritual or supernatural beings requires one to become hold views inline with existential nihilism?
And yet, I find something satisfying about untangling knots. Also darning socks, repairing cheap electronics, and other "not worth my time" activities. Perhaps it is a character flaw (:

Optimizing for efficiency and optimizing for happiness can be quite at odds, and the people at the clinic sometimes miss that, I find.
is there a good guide on the firewall and routing config? i’m interested in this unit and want to set up separate vlans, NaT, multiple dhcp servers
The problem comes when enough uncorrected misunderstandings causes words to mean both X and not X. After the figurative slippery slope, we would end up with all words meaning one thing: something (depending on context, who's talking, and who's listening). I don't think we're making future generations any service by diluting language.

As they say: be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others. Here, I'd extend that to: conservative in what you do, liberal in what you accept, but providing feedback on what you barely accept.

I don't think that's true at all really, there are like 500,000 millionaires in my town alone.

A billion is actually just a lot of money, there's a much more finite amount of room at the top.

All you need to do to make a million quid in the UK is get a 75th percentile job and save half of it. After a few decades you are now a millionaire. I mean, everyone can't do it, but it's not some unfathomable task.

In the US I imagine it's even easier. Your median income is lower but the top end is insane.
Thanks for such an insightful comment!
Saving is a big part of read later apps, so we didn’t want users to do too much to start.
I agree with you on the onboarding flow as a user, but data shows that it’s the best place to put it actually. You miss 100% of shots you don’t take kind of situation. But we’re trying to not be too pushy about it.
