Personally I have a couple of issues with USB-C (and the whole USB Ecosystem as a whole);

#1 - the female connector of the port has a circuit board present which may be more readily damaged than a port without it (ala Lightning - which has it's own problems).

#2 - Because the USB Standards Committee did not put a mandatory minimum capability on cables using the connector it is impossible to tell at a glance what the capabilities of a cable are, there are no identifying markers - No detail about Power Delivery, data transfer speeds, or which generation of USB it belongs (a Type C - USB 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 4 cable, all look the same at a glance)

#3 - the only way to buy the most capable USB-C cable is to give up altogether with looking for a USB-C Cable and to just buy a Thunderbolt 3 or 4 Cable, which isn't even USB!

#4 - the USB Standards committee insistence on renaming existing versions of the protocol with the newer standards leads to untold confusion among consumers - Any non-technical person will look at at USB 3.2 Gen 1, USB 3.1 Gen 1, USB 3.0 and believe there is a difference, when they are the same.

#5 - The USB Standards Committee insists on naming it's protocol revisions in the least user friendly way possible - I have never once seen a device say it requires a host device with a "SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps" or "SuperSpeed USB 5Gbps" port, coupled with how badly named transfer modes are USB 3.2 Gen 2×2, USB 3.2 Gen 2×1, USB 3.2 Gen 2, USB 3.2 Gen 1 means it is far too easy to trip up on.
Can you describe how you felt it was terrible?
Used that as a replacement for momentjs until we had to make things seriously timezone-aware, and some quite crippling tz bugs (granted, probably 2 years ago now) made us move to Luxon. That worked well, but I'm glad to have something JodaTime-ish coming now that doesn't conflate instants with zoned datetimes with durations.
Sure, but I don't see how that has anything to do with what I wrote. I'm sure Utrecht have found a good balance. My point was about smaller cities adopting the same kind of ideas (removing parking space, closing roads to cars), where people can just choose to drive the cars they already own elsewhere. I've seen this happening to my old hometown, where commerce is increasingly moving to the city outskirts. Which ironically results in people living in the centers having to either get cars themselves if they don't own one, or use public transport to get there.
I selfhost bitwarden with rust implementation called vaultwarden, it uses little to no resources and works flawlessly. Compatible with original clients, too. Never looked back.
Was it hard to write again after the long break? What did you did to gain momentum again?
But "Welcome to Costco, I love you" isn't a critique of wokeism. It's the false affection you get from a "greeter" at the door.
You don't even need a Swiss Army Knife, if you don't drink a lot of corked wine, a shoe will do just fine [1].

Seriously though, Swiss Army Knives are the epitome of "jack of all trades, master of none". It's so much better to use the proper tool for the job. I've had the same $10 sommelier knife longer than I've ever owned a Swiss Army Knife (since my wine knife stays in the kitchen drawer).

Just because someone posses intelligence does not mean they use it, or use it appropriately. Curiosity and becoming auto didactic are likely nurture vs nature. If you do have a societal shift in intelligence, then it will just change the baseline. IQ scores are relative to the mean. People will question what the point of the intelligence arms race is. Will it make life any better? Will it present more threats (more intelligent threat actors)?

also the irony is that the author's take is the idiocy isn't from the bad decisions of the government, its from those 'idiots' who just wont believe everything they say and comply.
How is it possible to comment on the wrong thread? People seem to do this fairly often here. How does it happen?
Maybe they meant a SD card or USB drive, but translated it as "floppy".
Apple is a two-faced Janus/Juno.

On the customer-facing side they are all about providing a good user experience and also going through the motions about carbon neutrality and justice and whatever else makes for good marketing these days.

On the manufacturing side it they could not care much less. They say they care about pay and justice and so on and so forth, but where the rubber hits the road --where it inconveniences them and does not add to the bottom line, they do not appear to care.
DLU didn't know WHAT it wanted to be, so it tried to be both a comedy AND drama. Sucked at both, imo. Great cast. Lousy execution.

Can't for the life of me figure out the appeal.

I mean, sure, people are morons, but everyone everywhere had to be CARTOONISHLY stupid and incompetent in the flick to make the plot work.

That worked for Idiocracy because that was the projected future. A warning.

DLU needs that level of dumb TODAY.

And yes, I lived the last 5 years, and I'm deeply cynical of humanity... but even I thought it was all a bit too much.
Thank you very much for bringing me up to speed. And as well to others who provided me with their responses, i kind of get it if you have many machines and even though i'd still try to find best way to sync i understand and appreciate your point of view. I will do read up on links on vaults provided and everything else. Thank you again.
Why even publish this tbh? I mean it's good they're doing that, but advertising a leak with so few people affected seems weird to me.
They really botched the entire thing.

Bunch of people report their unique password gets this message and they investigate credential stuffing? Makes no sense.

>some of these security alerts, which were sent to a limited subset of LastPass users, were likely triggered in error.

"some"? "likely"?

Or that is what he used to justify a free (likely business class) flight to JP.
And then another one by end of September...

I wonder if we'll get to the point where they require a booster shot every month or every week and how many people would still comply at that point.
Reagan at least accured some political experience and held lower elected office before running for president. Trump used his celebrity status to compensate for his lack of experience and went straight for the presidency. Time will tell which path, if any, The Rock will follow. Although judging by the current political mood, my money is on the Trump path.
I hated The Power Broker. It's brilliant, but Robert Moses was SO awful I was grinding my teeth.

Must read, really. But only the once.
For me, it is usually that the keyboard affords more symbolic exploration. And that is usually more inline with my thinking.

A mouse can afford spacial exploration. Moving text from there to here, style thinking. Versus the keyboard of jump to there, copy text, jump back, paste.

Hard to see either as superior for text. Hard to see how to use the symbolic for spatial data. (Images and such)
There was a period before USB ('universal serial bus' pretty much sums up the USP of USB), and I'd say the general adoption of USB to power and connect random things was overall more impactful than USB C specfically. A million tiny wins, e.g. buying christmas lights that don't come with their own powerbrick, but plug into USB-A. But yes, generally heading in the right direction and good to recognize the benefits of open standards.
What if instead of completely banning it, we set a cap and trade market with a fairly small maximum number of people (say, a few hundred within all of the US) that it can be applied to per year?
To be fair you can greatly reduce the necessity of those other things you list if you take on a role of contributing to FOSS dependencies used by where you work. Because you can have a significant portion of your time devoted to that work & it won't involve those things. You also then gain a passive political advantage as feature requests to that dependency will fall under your responsibility as the contact point between the project & company

Note that I may be totally wrong, as I've never found myself in too bureaucratic a team, so have generally found myself able to do whatever I want (within reason ofc, but I try to be reasonable)
> “If somebody picks your lock on your house — for whatever reason, it’s not a good lock, it’s a cheap lock or whatever problem you might have — they do not have the right to go into your house and take anything that belongs to you,” Parson said.

The reporter did the equivalent of noticing a lock was rusted through and barely hanging on. He poked the lock and it crumbled to pieces. He didn't take anything, he reported the problem to the government and later to the public. He didn't take the personal data just because his eyes saw it in passing.

If the reporter compiled a database of every teachers personal information, that's another thing. That's not what happened, the reporter looked at 3 teachers to establish the pattern and then reported it.
compliance !== safety
Well, there's no reason to believe attractiveness and intelligence are mutually exclusive. Are you saying parents would choose to forego intelligent traits in their children when all else is equal?
I like NoScript's UI. I've never tried uMatrix or uBo's more complex modes, but every time I see screenshots like in the article you linked, my head spins. So I stick with NoScript because I understand it. Compare: https://noscript.net/noscript/ss0.png

They do have a lot of open positions in SRE and development, from the job descriptions it doesn’t sound like just outsourcing.

They do a pretty good job at never mentioning anything related to porn. So I guess in most cases it won’t be a problem on someone’s cv
You're right but who cares if the route isn't genetic? If parents or society at large have essentially the same negative characteristics highlighted in the film and a higher birth rate it is functionally the same outcome.
I don’t agree with the concept but to your point, this regulates the schools not the students so I don’t think that applies.

NYPD buys 184 Ford Mustang Mach-E, approves option to buy 250 Tesla Model 3s
The formulation is vague enough that it could mean anything. Maybe the alerts were sent out by mistake which would be good news. But they don’t quite say that. Their statement might also mean that they rather disabled legitimate alerts so that people don’t get concerned. So they might have “cured” the symptoms without addressing the actual issue.

It certainly isn’t reassuring that they keep talking about credential stuffing, even though it’s quite unlikely to be the culprit here.
Love that first item on your first App Store screenshot: “Re-watch the mother of all demos”.
You should actually read that page. It has slowed, stopped and possibly reversed since as early as the 1970s.

There’s a lot of extremism on both sides. I’m vaccinated, boosted etc. and very much pro-vaccine, however, I try to avoid extremism and I also like to understand the non-extremist opposition to my view. As such, I’ve been trying to find the non-extremist[1] anti-vaccine argument… but I’ve struggled. I guess this is as good a place as any: anyone here want to share their own anti-vax thoughts, or the thoughts of someone anti-vax that they respect?

[1] I define extremist as the satanism / 5g microchip stuff.
How does clever people in being in the forbes ranking relate to the darwinian appraisal?
There are some exceptions to this though, e.g. Window Maker (which is what i use) feels like everything is made primarily to be used via the GUI and using a mouse (it even has a WYSIWYG global menu editor where you work with it by drag and dropping items on it instead of editing text files like you'd find in the vast majority of window managers or providing some barebones tree editor with add/remove/etc buttons like you'd find in most DEs - and AFAIK it is the only WM or DE to provide a WYSIWYG theme editor).

I find it amazing that Window Maker is both among the most powerful window managers i've used and the most convenient and graphical (FVWM is probably more powerful but it certainly isn't as convenient to configure/set up).
I have to disagree. It attempts to satirise today's mass media by exaggerating its influence on politics to the point at which it revolves around little else, succumbing to what it is supposed to be objecting to: the idea of politics and politicians as trivial. The plotline was so wildly implausible that it ended up saying little about the real world.

Also, the asteroid threat is not a good analogy for climate change, as it is supposed to be. Climate change is so difficult to deal with because its effects are uncertain, long-term and unevenly felt. None of those issues hold for an asteroid that will, per the plot, destroy the whole of human civilization in 6 months with 99.9% certainty absent intervention.

The Flynn effect has probably reversed recently for the developed world[0]. It's probably still occurring in the developing world due to better access to nutrition (among other things, but nutrition is probably most important).

Given the relative weakness of the (current) vaccines vs Omnicron, do these mandates make any sense, or is it largely security theatre at this point?
This feels to me like "is there any non rubik's cube example of group?". Category theory is a mathematical tool used by mathematicians and built for mathematicians, so you'll have trouble understanding why it's concretely relevant anyway if you're not in the business of doing maths :D The main motivation is that it's a good language for describing some kinds of objects and writing proofs about them.

I'm personaly using category in the field of logic and language semantics (describing and proving stuff about notions of equivalence between programs, results like language X can interpret language Y with such and such fidelity). At a high level, i think category theory is useful in that realm because it enables to make up new structures (algebraic structures, think some set with operations and laws) which will be specific to you (won't be something well known like ring or whatever) but thanks to category theory you'll already have results on these structures because you'll show that they have some generic constructions.

In general category theory sometimes enables mathematical statements to drastically cut down on unimportant assumptions, getting at the real core of some theorem. By doing that, you're enabling other to reuse some result in settings which are "kinda similar", where "morally stuff work in the same way", but where the classical definition would have been too rigid.

edit: concretely about these generalizations: if you know about monoids, then look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoid_(category_theory) which is a categorification of it.
Oh Japan, never change.

My condolences OP, I:

- Got a new job that pays a living wage.

- Got engaged.

- Started to blog and began to blog for a open source advocate platform.

- Learned Ruby on Rails and loved it!

Was a hard year tbh, but I'm starting to get some positive momentum on my life.

Edit: Formatting.
Ah yes that's a good point. It can still leak the "password" that's used for authentication so it doesn't protect their account on that service but logs wouldn't leak the original password that might be reused elsewhere so it could protect their account on other services marginally more.
I hardly comment on any Hackernews post, but I had to come here to say if you have any respect for photography and optics in general, you will stay away from that man’s site and remove the link. It’s a joke for a site and well-known as a poor-content, money-grabbing venue in the photographic community.
If we add client side hashing, it does nothing to prevent hash replay attacks. Agreed.

However, it prevents the attacker from immediately trying the same raw password on other sites (i.e. credential stuffing). They would need to perform additional offline attack of the first hash. This adds cost to something that would have previously been trivial.

Given that about 65% of users reuse passwords and 76% don't even use a password manager [1], I think that slowing down credential stuffing attacks is important.

Protecting against some attacks is valuable even if you don't protect against all attacks. Layered security.

Yes, I would agree. Making it "difficult" to drive or more attractive to ride a bike in city centers aren't enough to make people get ditch their cars here, as people rely on them for so many other reasons.

But the mirror is also temporal. There’s a lot of trash on TV these days but it’s probably not as lowbrow outright sensationally dumb as the shock jock reality TV era that Idiocracy was created in. We’re currently living in a highbrow era of television.
"Why should it not get a decent cut of the pie after a decade or so?"

well i guess it depends on if you view the government as a profit seeking entity trying to maximally price its IP protection product, or if you view it as societal infrastructure.
Agreed that it's unclear how future intelligence will be used. My only claim is that future generations will possess far greater intelligence than current generations.
Interesting, thanks. I'll check that out.

"Don't look up" I watched it on Netflix last night and I can't get over how well it captures the insanity we witness on a daily basis. It's not a funny movie, it's painful to watch, but that's because it's a reflection of reality. Sure its over blown and silly in places, but it resonates so strongly with the idiocy of our time... It's a test with high specificity: If you don't get the resonance then you are part of the problem.

Nobody clicks on links (and the algorithm deemphasizes them). People want to read content natively without leaving the app.

So if you want reads, you gotta share natively on whatever platform you like to use.

The pros use a strategy where they write long cornerstone content then post insightful abstracts on various platforms natively. Super pros use interns/agencies to do the chopping and sharing.
From Wikipedia:

> On March 6, 1978, during a legal battle related to obscenity in Gwinnett County, Georgia, Flynt and his lawyer were shot on the sidewalk in Lawrenceville by Joseph Paul Franklin. The shooting left Flynt partially paralyzed with permanent spinal cord damage, and in need of a wheelchair.

>Franklin, a militant white supremacist and serial killer, also shot Vernon Jordan; he targeted other black and Jewish people in a killing spree from 1977–1980. Violently opposed to 'miscegenation,' he confessed to the shootings many years later, claiming he was outraged by an interracial photo shoot in Hustler.[12] About Flynt and a Hustler pictorial, he stated, "I saw that interracial couple ... having sex ... It just made me sick ... I threw the magazine down and thought, I'm gonna kill that guy."[13] Flynt himself suspected the attack was part of a larger conspiracy involving ultra-right elements surrounding U.S. Representative Larry McDonald also behind the Karen Silkwood case with ties to the Intelligence Community and that Franklin may have been subject to MKULTRA-style Mind Control.[14]
Key seems to be "without any reason".

An example: here in the UK the limit on taking legal action on most civil issues is 6 years. This means it is perfectly reasonable to have a 6 year retention policy and indeed that's what most companies do.

Ah, I didn't think about it that way, and I understand what you mean, but yes, my polemics were directed at a very specific, rare kind of user that I used to associate with. The reason I call my article a mess is that I don't proof read anything I write, so I just assume there are mistakes all over the place.
True, but on the other hand neither CDs, DVDs nor Blurays are bleeding edge tech these days :-))

I also imagine that we've made at least 10x as many DVDs by now, than all the floppies that were ever made, regardless of the floppy disk size.

Oh, that kind of table. I was expecting decision tables.[1]

"Smart contracts" for Etherium should have been decision tables. But no, they had to make it Turing-complete. A good thing about decision tables is that there's a finite and small number of cases, so they can be exhaustively tested. Also, they're readable. That's what you want for contracts. Not Solidity programs, which are expensively insecure.
