In psychology, different mental models exist that help to arrange your knowledge about yourself in a meaningful way. You may be interested in reading about Internal Family Systems[1], inner child therapy[2] and subpersonality[3] concept in general. These mental models are widely used in modern therapy.

At least some of these models are grounded in the way your brain is structured (e.g. limbic system vs prefrontal cortex), and research into the way child’s brain develops over the years. Others provide handy frameworks to structure therapy sessions. What you choose to do with that knowledge (e.g. disowning your actions, or becoming more responsible for them) seems to be of little relevance to the models themselves.

> In any case, I don't see any trend where a general-purpose programming language will include DB SQL as 1st-class.

Which is a pity I'd say. The new languages you mention would benefit most from such a feature. I believe they won't do it not because it's not useful, but because it's difficult to make it right (efficient, safe, natural, scalable) and then maintain forever.

There are many benefits of having this functionality working out of the box (and a few disadvantages, obviously). Many (if not most) apps are just CRUD apps with some added functionality. But a standard way of connecting the language to a database is still missing. The great success of the ActiveRecord back in the day shows that this is something many developers would benefit from (it was/is good, but still not ideal). And I don't believe patching the situation with a multitude of incompatible ORMs solves anything.

Fossil free steel is steel produced by not burning carbon in the process.

It simply means it doesn’t burn fossil fuels and emit (fossil) CO2.

Carbon can still be used for the alloy itself. That’s not an environmental problem.

My statement was less confused and more optimistic. We most definitely have the ability to make thermonuclear reactors on earth. The issue is making them work effectively for power generation.

See, for example, https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/us-fusion-reaction-generates...

I firmly believe we would have this cracked by now if we hadn’t foolishly wimped out on nuclear when there were some growing pains. Instead of investing we have countries running from nuclear. That’s a huge blunder in my opinion.

I use reddit unironically and few websites. The applications I use daily have few considerations, mainly privacy, security etc. I get my recommendations from https://www.privacytools.io https://www.privacyguides.org https://www.reclaimthenet.org https://www.restoreprivacy.com and a few other similar sites. Subreddits like https://www.teddit.net/r/privacytoolsio and

If I need a note-taking app, I visit the above sites. IIRC Standard Notes, Joplin, Simple Notes (by simple tools) are recommended.

If I require a basic application like PDF viewing, for which you may not get recommendations from websites, I go to above subreddits and simple search PDF viewer. Users would have discussed in detail about such an application, along with their pros and cons.
Injecting code into another process is well supported :P

1) VirtualAllocEx some memory to hold the path to a DLL you want to inject.

2) WriteProcessMemory to write the path to that memory.

3) CreateRemoteThread passing in the address of `LoadLibrary` and the pointer to the previously allocated memory.

It's no coincidence that `LoadLibrary` has a signature which can directly be passed to `CreateRemoteThread`!

Thanks for pointing this out. My Chromebook is from the era when they still had a screw... :-)

Can you recover a modern Chromebook that has had all of its Flash memories tampered with or wiped externally, with just a USB cable? With a debug cable? That seems to be one of the major things that sets apart iDevices from others.

At least this design doc still says local attacks involving e.g. replacing writable storage are out of scope (which they very much aren't for iDevices):

https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/...

From block diagrams it seems Cr50 security chip in recent Chromebooks just interfaces with AP Flash and the write protect pin, and thus verified boot isn't tied to silicon tamper resistance. That puts Chromebook at around the same level as T2 Macs in terms of tamper-resistance, in fact a bit worse (on T2s the T2 chip is the flash from the AP's point of view, so you can't just tamper with an external flash memory. You could MITM it in principle, though I heard the T2 Mac boards are also designed to make this difficult to pull off with buried traces).

Digging a bit more (the docs on this are really scattered...), it seems Cr50 RW storage can be recovered from the RO loader by using a physical USB-UART cable, but that requires taking apart the machine, since it won't work over USB, only UART. There is no mention of any Boot ROM recovery mechanism or of how the RO firmware is authenticated; RO is supposed to be "Read Only" in on-chip Flash, but eliminating every avenue for compromise of writable Flash is very hard (e.g. glitching the Boot ROM; I've seen too many "secure" microcontrollers compromised to bypass read or write protect in various ways...), so this approach is quite a bit weaker than Apple's: on these devices, you need specialized hardware to go to the lowest level of recovery, and you can't even recover from certain kinds of volatile storage loss or compromise, while on Apple devices any end user with no specialized knowledge can follow a few simple documented steps with another machine and a USB cable and an app in the App Store (or idevicerestore) to fully, securely, and confidently restore all the writable firmware on the machine to factory condition, and the process relies only on truly immutable mask ROM*.

* I can't say for sure there isn't any auxiliary writable flash that would let you brick the machine in some other way, but I haven't found anything yet. The prime suspect, the USB-PD controller chip that's in the path of the DFU USB connection (and thus could break it if it doesn't work), smells like it boots from ROM until the OS instructs it to launch the application image from Flash. It reports being in "DFU" mode until we issue the first power state switch command to bring it up, and we know these chips are custom Apple versions with Apple ROMs and the ROM does contain most of the USB-PD stack... so this sounds like the kind of thing Apple would get TI to do, since they really care about being resistant to bricks and persistent compromise.

Exchanges then have a:

- Unknown/hidden? currency conversion fee. I would think there is a fee here, but i didn't find it documented.

Additionally, exchanges like Binance are banned in many places ( because of tether fraud). Coinbase would be one of the only exchanges to consider as a business in eg. The US.

To put this in perspective, see Charles Tart bio on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Tart - his book "Altered States" was quite famous at the time, and inspired the book "Altered states" by Paddy Chayfesky, that in turn became an iconic movie by Ken Russell in 1980.

Slow news day at the Verge obviously. These were a fairly big innovation before the iPad really matured around 2010 ish timeframe.

Thank you. All of the comments about full skydiving rig versus emergency chute kind of misses the point. It is extremely unusual to wear any kind of parachute at all when piloting an aircraft (yes, there are exceptions, but they are rare).

> The common Web 1, 2, 3 definitions seem well defined and known enough for consensus.

I don't think we have consensus on any of those terms. The fact that there are multiple discussions a day at this point trying to define those terms should suffice to prove that.

But I don't think we need consensus, either. The Internet has existed for longer than the web. The web is diminishing as other platforms and devices come online. And none of that was either empowered or limited by terminology. Technology evolves. People can call it what they will.

My complaint about 'web3' is not about consensus on terms - my complaint is that it is being pushed by groups trying to claim a common term for themselves that is unrelated to the tech they are pimping. They have not gained the wide acceptance that they feel they deserve, so they are trying to usurp a term that does have wide acceptance. I get it from a marketing perspective, but it just feels dishonest at best, and somewhat desperate.

Such as Germany and other countries taking all nuclear off line.

And for what reason? Historically, the concern has been what to do with the waste. But now, because we are investing in nuclear, we are finding that we can actually re-process the waste.

And, at the worst, once rocket launch has become trivial, we can always send the waste off into the void (or sun).
Yes, I’ve already seen this. I’ve written https://palant.info/2021/12/29/how-did-lastpass-master-passw... discussing the possibilities here. So far the most likely suspicion is that LastPass infrastructure is compromised and a pass-the-hash attack is going on.

The Haskell concepts are not quite the same as the mathematical concepts; they're somewhat restricted, and different aspects of them are emphasized (e.g. monads---programmers generally think of bind as the basic operation and join as derived, mathematicians generally think of join as the basic operation and bind as derived). So different names could be justified for that reason. It's also not just "math jargon" but "category theory jargon", which is worse than ordinary math jargon.

Your argument is a straw man. Why should author's have a different right to provide for their children more so than other professions?

There's something inherently unjust in protecting the works based on the death of the original author. A 25 year old will, on average, enjoy a significantly longer period of protection than a 75 year old.

In the UK if you really didn’t want to use a processor you could ask people to bank transfer you cash (free for both parties with Faster Payments) or send cheques, although most banks are phasing them out. There are definitely web stores which have this as an option and I’ve seen it in NZ too. The downside is manual labour and a transfer speed of O(minutes).

I used to help run a summer camp in Europe and we always took payment via direct transfer. None of us had the experience to write an e-commerce solution and we didn’t have the budget to buy one. Nowadays I guess we could use Stripe, but it’s still simpler to give people account details to pay into and to tell us when they sent it. We don’t have the numbers to justify anything complex either. Only recently we started accepting donations via PayPal and even then only because it’s very easy to generate the code for the button.
If all your customers are local to your own country then yes you can engage a merchant e-commerce solution usually provided by a local major bank.

These were popular before Stripe arose.

You can save fees BUT the application process is often much more manual and long. Also don’t expect add-ons like having a good API or strong reporting or analytics.
You have to read the whole article to gain a true understanding and nuance of what he's talking about (there's a lot of it).

I think this raises really great points - but I think there is one additional major question too which is "what scale are you dealing at?".

If you are handling billions of dollars in sales, then yes, rolling your own payment infrastructure will probably be worthwhile, but at that scale you will also be getting a very different commercial offer from the payment gateways anyway.

If you 'only' have a million dollars in sales, then there isn't going to be a payback here (but there may be a cheaper payment gateway than Stripe).

The fees to Visa and MasterCard can't be avoided - even Amazon is having a public commercial spat Visa over fees.

> Of course we are responsible for all of our actions, however, we often act against our better judgement.

Isn't this just a matter of confusion about what is in our best interest?

When we act against our best interest, it's often because we fail to accurately gauge the outcome of our actions. We may postpone going to the dentist because it seems like a bad idea, or have a bunch of cake because it seems like a good idea; but with the clarity of looking at these things in the past, it's evident that we got it wrong. We should have gone to the dentist and ignored the siren call of cake.

For whatever reason, it seems like a lot of people are just not doing this. They keep looking to the promises from the future, but completely ignore what they know from the past; so they keep repeating the same short sighted mistakes over and over and over again.

I too enjoy writing in notebooks. For me I get the sense that it reinforces memory, and I find that I refer to notes rarely, but I stash the notes away on shelf. It’s not organized in any way except chronology, and many subjects sometimes crowd the page, from technical, to dos, phone numbers, shopping lists, etc. If I need to take an action item I snap a picture of the page onto phone and go from there.

Back in the mid-90s I was referred to a specialist because my excessive snoring was giving me sleep apnoea. The consultant advised that I needed throat reconstruction surgery to cure the problem. He asked me if I smoked. Expecting yet another telling-off from the medical profession, I admitted that I did. "Don't give up," he told me. "Smoking helps dry out the throat and will make the procedure easier to perform."

To date, he is the only doctor who's told me to carry on smoking.
I don't think many production lines are going to be start stop.

If your production line is only running 70% of the time, and all of your running costs actually scale with that (which they almost certainly wouldn't), then you are still looking at 30% less return on capital investment. And most high energy consumption industry has massive capital requirements.

Instead I think the adaptation will be in energy storage (both at consumer and producer) and simple energy overprovisioning. I have hopes for storage. Especially low efficiency but incredibly cheap and scalable storage.

If we can store 30% of wind surplus in summer and use it in winter, that would be amazing. It would also help ensure energy security.

The simplest explanation of why Sweden is not plagued by regular massive blackouts is that your facts, math, and assumptions are wrong/incomplete.

Simply put, it's not a closed system.

Sweden is connected to the rest of Europe. So, German, Danish, British, Norwegian, etc. grids can import and export power as needed. The entire continent of Europe produces wind (and other power) at a pretty steady and predictable pace. Power is big business since selling it in the market is pretty lucrative. And since wind is pretty affordable, a lot of the supply is wind based these days.

Basically, Sweden can produce cheap power locally most of the time and import more expensive power when they need to. Having a surplus means they export more power than that they import over time. It's just market dynamics. Because the way weather works, if there is no wind locally, that just means there definitely is some wind elsewhere. That's why Europe gets away with having so much wind power. The amount of wind power it produces fluctuates but not nearly as dramatically as you seem to believe.

It's a rapidly growing market because as you note there is plenty of demand for more power. Hence, the rapid roll out of the cheapest way to produce it world wide: wind.
