Decorator over-use can lead to some difficult-to-read Python.

Doing just about anything imperative at import-time makes it hard to reason about what happens when. Even experienced Python programmers can get tripped up by the import system's order of evaluation.

Assuming all source code is available, the code is never migrated to other compilers, and every company in the world would actually bother to use such warnings when using GCC.

Naturally removing them from ISO C was the saner option.

Your analysis seems to overlook an important detail in that first bullet point - dictionary attacks are only feasible when the KDF is fast. Authentication servers tend to require the KDF to be fast so they aren't constantly performing a denial of service attack on themselves. What people are looking for is a way to make the combined KDF slow by pushing most of the work to the client side. If this succeeds, you have made dictionary attacks very difficult without making your authentication process a denial of service vector.

The web browser ecosystem makes this a pretty hard task, unfortunately. You need fallbacks that weaken the process to the point where it is basically useless in a lot of cases. But the goal of a client/server split in the KDF is actually quite sensible. The client side does the large amount of work to protect users from dictionary attacks. The server side does a relatively much smaller amount of work to protect itself from being easily exploited if its hashes are exfiltrated when the hashes aren't themselves vulnerable to dictionary attacks.
The article says that it would impact public schools and public charter schools. The charter schools receive funding from the state, so they can just deny funding unless they meet certain criteria, which they already do. And that criteria could include not giving access to certain books to children.

It's tough because most people don't have a choice to pick up and move if they don't like their school board. As a parent, schools are a very important issue to me as it strikes at the autonomy you have as a parent. Many would have an issue with teaching religion in schools, and others would have an issue teaching gender studies in school. The compromise would be to limit the scope of education to the non-objectionable: science, reading, writing, math and history.

Normally I would want that decided upon on the local level, but given the nature of school zoning and difficulty of moving, I wouldn't be opposed to setting guidelines on a state level.

I don’t see why having to be born in the country you’ve adopted is a requirement.

If anything, making a choice to be a citizen and public leader is more significant an indicator of loyalty than an accident of birth.
Never heard about angle difference but I'm no pro by any stretch. Maybe this is related to some nuances in optics for mirror vs mirrorless rather than film vs digital.

The Flynn Effect is actually no longer observed. [0]

There is a multi-decade IQ drop in multiple European countries with otherwise world-leading Education systems.

More interestingly the drop is also happening intra-family which defeats the initial theory of a dumbing down of the gene pool. Currently the best theory is that there is an environmental cause.

It’s vacation time, they simply don’t have the people on site to investigate the issue quickly. So far not surprising, and certainly intended by the timing of this attack.

That their first reaction is to downplay rather than to admit that they don’t know much yet – that’s rather typical of LastPass unfortunately. Sadly, with this approach they aren’t exactly an outlier in the industry.
I believe there is data that fully vaccinated individuals on average have less severe symptoms and significantly fewer hospitalizations. Feel free to refute (I don't have time at the moment to look it up) but I feel confident saying that.
Not communicating clearly and pretending like dumb blog posts like this are an answer are both major red flags.

I don't understand the thought process behind such legal-ese talk. Do they think we are dumb and can't see through it? Putting this sort of stuff up is just saying "we don't care about you in reality but here is a post saying we do".
Of course not. But it makes the whole thing a lot less clear cut in the absence of other information. Would he have died anyways if someone wasn’t kneeling in him due to drugs or other causes? Should they have believed him more or less that he couldn’t breathe when he was on the ground?

I’m not saying it at all excuses their actions, just that the media was pushing a narrative by not including that.

I use C++ and Rust. Unfortunately, there are no persistent versions of the data structures I need available in any language (using dynamic FM-index as an example again). It is just interesting to think about “hybrid” systems where most of the code follows principles of data-oriented programming and some of the code deals with any unavoidable mutability.

Does anyone have a summary of the current science regarding the third vaccine shot for covid?

I had the impression that the safety effect for someone in good health under 45 was neglible, although with a significant decrease in risk of catching or passing on the virus. With these effects waning on a time-scale similar to the first two doses.

Particularly curious regarding the risk-benefit ratio for a healthy young adult. How much of a no-brainer is an extra vaccine dose at this point? And do we know something yet about a decrease in the «no sense of smell» long-term complication?

I’m all for requiring booster shots for $ACTIVITY, but we need to collectively get our shit together on informing folks of how to get said booster. Or maybe it’s just Washington. I was looking for a booster, so I went to our handy state Department of Health website for the vaccine locator. Nearly every single listing said something to the effect of “last updated: three months ago”. IOW, the site is now abandoned and unmaintained because, hey, we rolled out those vaccines and PROBLEM SOLVED! “Oh, shit, ‘boosters’? But the off-shore development contract only went through July!”

Okay, I’ll try CVS/Walgreens/et. al. If you don’t mind waiting until February, I guess that’s an option. Finally I just gave up and scheduled an appointment within the next two weeks at a clinic 90 minutes away. Then we happened to walk into healthcare provider Kaiser that is ten minutes from home: big fucking arrows and signs, “Walk-ins welcome!!!!11” And so we went back the next day and got our booster shots. But here’s my question/complaint: Kaiser is also the clinic that’s 90 minutes away, where we scheduled our original appointment. On the Kaiser site, there is not a single mention of a walk-in option.

My conclusion is that we appear to have to rely on Facebook posts, and rumors from friends to find a booster because the “official” channels are either not useful or just plain abandoned.
Is it the smart who are successful?
We'd only need eugenics if competency is strictly linked to genetics.

We can probably make a lot of progress investing in schools, making higher education more accessible, finding more engaging teaching strategies, ensuring that parents have all the resources they need to care for their children...more access to mental health services...
yes it is, pfizer and moderna are already testing omicron specific vaccines.
I have not checked 1Password's math--they just come up in the results for "PBKDF2 cost of brute forcing". ;)

But yes, it matches my intuition--brute forcing human-strength keys is surprisingly cheap. (And I don't know if they're taking into account the discount if you have custom ASICs for this, defend against which is the argument made for scrypt instead.)
Put yourself in the shoes of the school leadership. They need to weigh the negative publicity from this mandate against the potential negative publicity of an unvaccinated outbreak at their school (or god forbid, death(s)). It's really a no-brainer without even plugging the numbers in.
OP blog suggests users receiving similar email even after changing their master password.
two possibilities for LP. either their servers were hacked and hashed master passwords were dumped somewhere or as LP said, system error due to a bug.
Sorry to hear about that.

I doubt it makes you feel any better, but isn't that an effective cut of 4.4%?

As a starting point, original pay was 100% of original pay.
A year later, the same amount in real terms is, in nominal terms, 106.2% of the original amount (at 6.2% interest).
But, if you're being paid 101.5% of the original amount, in nominal terms, then in real terms you're being paid (101.5/106.2) = 0.9557... of the original amount. Which is about a 4.4% cut in real terms.
That is another insane aspect, correct. There's a big overlap between crypto advocates and people who feel very strongly about freedom of speech, but in reality the world they'd build would involve a lot of self-censorship for financial reasons.

Freedom of speech only for those that can afford it.
Public transportation is good here, which is the answer to most of your questions.

> now that they've removed several roads in favour of mostly unused bike and bus lanes.

Why don't you bike or take the bus, then?

> If I lived in a city I'm not even sure how I would do my weekly family shop without access to a car.

Before the pandemic, we did it entirely on bike.

On the other hand, Dutch cities are designed differently, where markets are interspersed with the housing itself.

In fact, we used to just walk to the supermarket about 200m away, but then a bigger version of that supermarket opened up 5 minutes bike ride away, so...

Checkout is super-fast - shopping is so fast many people go every day, if only to get fresh bread. When I lived in New York, we would have one big shop once a week, it was such a chore.

It is, because modern programming languages today are far more expressive than previous generations of languages are, with powerful type-systems - and languages' type-systems are grounded in category-theory (and group-theory, and type-theory, and set-theory).

Modern languages are our tools, and you can't use your tools effectively without understanding them, and you can understand them better by understanding their mathematical underpinnings.

-------------

Disregarding the comparatively more esoteric languages like Haskell, consider TypeScript, Rust, Haxe, and to an extent: Kotlin and Scala: you can take a self-taught (i.e. non-CS/SE graduate) programmer and eventually they'll figure their way through, and eventually grok, that languages' type-system - and hey-presto, you've just unwittingly taught someone something an entire course of graduate-level abstract mathematics would do, and been productive in the process.
Immigrants are going to be more literate than the USA average because the USA imposes much higher standards on immigrants than mediocrity.
There's a lot of room between 95% effective and useless. From everything I've read the vaccines are still a significant help, especially for preventing severe cases, even if they are less effective than against previous waves.
However, during deployment, there was a lack of consideration as the periodical script was not disabled.

The modified shell script was reloaded from the middle.

In my opinion, this is the wrong takeaway, and an important lesson was not learned.

It's not an operator "lack of consideration".

The lesson should be "when dealing with important data, do not use outrageously bad programming languages that allow run-time code rewriting, and that continue to execute even in the presence of undefined variables".

If you use shell scripting, this is bound to happen, and will happen again.

"We'll use Python or anything else instead of shell" would fundamentally remove the possibility of this category of failure.
New lenses don’t have the same build as old ones.

This doesn't seem like a very well written article. It initially states:

> Oklahoma state law would allow parents to seek up to $10,000 for each day

Then later:

> The bill goes on to state that the complaining parent "may seek monetary damages including a minimum of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) per day

So which is it?
Well that matters a lot. It's the difference between a conspiracy and messing up.

>Classes at Stanford will be online for the first two weeks of the winter quarter. The quarter will still begin Jan. 3 for most students, as scheduled. We will resume in-person instruction Tuesday, Jan. 18, after the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day holiday. We continue to expect students and instructors to be on campus for the winter quarter.

>If you are healthy, you are encouraged to come back to campus on-time and get settled. You can return to campus later if you choose to, but we advise against waiting until in-person classes are about to begin. This is because if you return on-schedule, test positive upon arrival and need to isolate for at least 10 days, you will be able to continue your coursework during the online instruction period. Once in-person instruction begins, any accommodations for those in isolation will need to be arranged with individual instructors at their discretion.

All of the current data shows that the vaccines being used in the US provide strong protection against severe illness.
> Who's "we" in that sentence? Intelligent people are unlikely to adopt foolish plans, by definition.

You're confusing intelligence with wisdom. Intelligent people are likely to recognize a plan as foolish. They may or may not have the wisdom to avoid adopting it. Knowledge doesn't necessarily change behavior -- there are many many smart people who've gotten addicted to harmful substances, for example.
Most people will put up with slow-loading pages up to some extreme threshold.

So, if you reduce your page's loading time from, say, 1 second to 400 millis, you won't gain any significant number of users.

On the other hand, if you use those extra 600 millis to hold an auction for ad space on the page, you make more money immediately.

Therefore we can expect any for-profit site to load only fast enough to keep users from giving up (even if they feel frustrated or whatever), and no faster than that.

> The U.K.’s Health Security Agency published a report last Friday, citing initial findings from a real-world study, that said a two-dose course of Covid vaccines were significantly less effective against the omicron variant than the delta strain. However, it found that a “moderate to high vaccine effectiveness of 70 to 75% is seen in the early period after a booster dose.”

> More research emerged from Israel on Saturday, with researchers also finding that a three-shot course of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine provided significant protection against omicron.
it's a level of honesty that we are not used to it
As long as smoke temperature quenching, smoke scrubbing etc is done correctly, I can only see that the ash is less toxic in total than the waste, as eg. chlorocarbons are handled by incineration.

i had the same reaction at first, omg everyone knows about view source, this is a non-issue it was PUBLIC! But then the argument about "even if your lock is bad, doesn't mean someone can break into your house and steal your stuff." And I tried to look at that from the point of view of a normal non-tech person who doesn't know about view source or curl, they just know the normal view did not contain the info and someone did something "extra" and found it. I guess it comes down to how obvious and how "extra". Like what if I sent out a paper newsletter to all my neighbors but printed it on recycled paper that happen to have SSN info on the other side. Is it their fault for do something "extra" like turning the paper over and then seeing the other info?

I’ll preface this with “I think I’m good people.”

Context switching is hard especially when understaffed and most certainly when doing different types of work. I’m still “executing” engineering projects, but I’m also performing inside sales functions, helping advance and maintain our dev systems, and now manage 2 functional groups. Unfortunately stuff does fall by the way side all the time.

Prioritizing things is key, but at the end of the day there is a capacity to what one can do. It takes good management skills to realize the capacity of the employees and when things need to change. Luckily for me I’m working with groups in all three of the areas I was working in to offload those extra responsibilities to other people so I can focus on what I’m supposed to be doing (managing).

It would be interesting to see how they operate.

I work at AWS on opensearch.org, literally to do this as described.
The original reason is that they existed before Web pages were powerful enough to do all of those things. Today, it's purely for evil reasons, e.g., to be able to refuse to run if root is detected, to be out of reach of adblocking browsers, or to be able to harvest more of your private data. Now on iOS, there's still some ways that Web apps are lacking, but that's an evil reason too: Apple bans all non-Safari engines, and intentionally limits Safari, so that they have control over everyone via App Store rules.
I’m not familiar with Japanese law, but frankly leaking information about a _single_ person should be cause for a breach notification everywhere. The fact that it isn’t is indicative of the fact that profit is placed over privacy so often.
No, there is nothing. The complication with challenge/response schemes is that the server doesn’t know the master password – it only has that one hash, so it’s always comparing against it. There are PAKE protocols which work around this issue, but LastPass didn’t implement any of them (probably for historical reasons already, I think LastPass is older than most of these approaches).

Normally, it isn’t such a huge vulnerability. TLS encryption is there, so nobody should be able to catch that hash in transition. And even if they did, the most sensitive data is encrypted so that you still need the master password. Still, this is rather suboptimal.
The science indicates that you should take the shot.

There's a pretty simple reason for this: ef-s lenses are designed for a smaller sensor, so they only need to be sharp for a much smaller area. So you can make lighter and cheaper lenses.
