It's a side note, but I had 2fa enabled on my LastPass account but didn't have access to my token (it's an old phone that I don't have anymore).

I was able to remove the 2fa by clicking a link that LastPass sent to my email (confirming that I wanted to remove the 2fa).

So if anyone has your LastPass master password and has access to your email, it's game over and having the 2fa enabled on the LastPass account won't do anything.
This would certainly speed up the rate of discovery from the images and get more people interested in astronomy.

Inside the project there must be an established data infrastructure running or ready to run. It probably has a raw layer and a transformed layer with well defined tabular schemas for the metadata of each image. It would be fun to see how both layers work and play around with the data.

Would the instrument itself have a fixed set of metadata attributes assigned to all imaging, or is it programmable and changeable during the service life?
It does seem like it'd be neat of these embedded comment services to have a server side rendered page that just shows all the comments for a specific post, which could be linked to when JS is disabled. Yes, the link sends you off-site, but you'd still be able to read and probably even participate without JS. I'm sure there's at least one service that can do this.

> It's funny that some people lean into that feeling and assign it great cosmic meaning while others rationalize it away

Yep. There's a point in that spectrum named "trans-rational" where you have a conversation with yourself that goes something like

0) pre-rational: this is significant

1) rational: it's probably not significant, due to <reasons>

2) trans-rational: well, it may or may not be significant, but what do I stand to gain or lose from assigning some significance or other to it?
400 nits HDR is a marketing gimmick. For real HDR you need a 1000 nits minimum as well as a 10 (if not 12) bit display.

I have a Framework. Way I see it, the primary value of the expansion cards is that I can choose what long-term setup suits me best: do I need usb-a because I'm still interfacing with legacy tech? Some people need none, some one or more microSD? Don't need it, but someone else does and they're happy it's for all intents and purposes integrated.

I used to have an external drive at my desk as a backup but it's kind of a pain unplugging it when I want to move around, or keeping it attached but having to gingerly carry the drive around. Storage expansion is so much more convenient, and it's not like I didn't have that port occupied all the time anyway.

Reducing this kind of friction is gold. It's like reducing the edit-compile-test latency, at certain points you get big shifts in the kind of thing it affords.

Technically, it's as capable as any laptop with four usb-c ports. In practice it's a big difference. We already have a tradition of customizing our software to better suit our needs, it's only natural that we'd want to extend that to hardware.

One field that needs it is editing 4k+ HDR content that has 16 steps or more of dynamic range. All of the blacks would blend together on lower output monitors like 400nits. Really need like 1000.

Here's a decent 18.4", but it costs $14k[1], or you could get the 32" for $30k.

I… currently am isolating with COVID and don’t know how to feel.

I was fortunate to get both Moderna shots and then get a booster in November. So far symptoms have been overwhelmingly mild (sore throat, allergies, mild cough, no impact to blood oxygen levels).

Started feeling them on Christmas morning, but thought it was my parents’ HVAC and winter drying me out. Went to my in-laws, had a nice Christmas and day after Christmas, and COVID came up in discussion. My in-laws had a test remaining, and I said “I’ll take it - my parents are seeing other family and in the off chance I have it I’d want to let them know”.

So I took it last night, and it was very positive very quickly. Got another test today from another brand - also positive.

Looking at CDC guidance, I’m somewhat confused. 5 days of isolation are fine, but if you look at timelines, respiratory issues seem to start around day 5. So I guess you’re either getting better or taking a turn on day 5. And I’m stuck at my in-laws a few hours from home, just isolating in a room. Everyone else took a test (we were lucky to find them) and tested negative, but we will see if symptoms develop in others in the coming days.

Prior to COVID, this is nothing I would have stayed home for. Nothing I would have even considered could kill 800k+ people in the US. It’s really hard to wrap my head around it, and when I woke up this morning it was a bit of “did that test actually go off?”.

Oura ring also alerted that my body temp was higher than usual and that I should take it easy. But I don’t have a fever using a mouth thermometer.

I didn’t end up getting a PCR test, as the likelihood of two false positives across two different brands is very low, and I’m not totally asymptomatic. Just feel like 85% healthy where normal is 100%. But I won’t know if this is omicron or some other variant.

So I’m not taking any pills, monoclonal antibodies, or other approaches with this other than staying hydrated and mucinex. I figure I’m ok - but it’s really weird to be writing this on day 3 of symptoms knowing that day 5 could mean I’m either fine and can just mask up around people or I may take a turn, ramp a fever, and have breathing problems.

And I’ve been very cautious with protocols. Always mask inside, maintain distance, work from home. Yesterday was the first time since March 2020 I went to a brewery to celebrate someone’s birthday (again, feeling fine enough to drink) and I made sure the group sat outside at a fire pit (where we were alone and cold) instead of going into the brewery.

It’s all very weird.
When looking at his LinkedIn, I only see one job with tenure over 4 years almost 10 years back and most other jobs are well below 2 years. It seems like he definitely is able to find new jobs very efficiently so I think his advice here is valuable.

However if I were hiring for an engineering leader, I would probably pass him over. I don’t see anyone being an effective leader by only sticking around for less than 2 years. Having tenures less than 2 years especially at senior roles doesn’t give a lot of positive feelings of leadership in my opinion.
It doesn’t seem strange to me. Why would a Japanese artist searching for the soul of France not find it? A lot of art is made by outsiders, who see the distinctive elements that insides take for granted.

once the bits are in your bus, you own them, as in physically have them, it becomes a matter of time and effort for you to access them in a humanly enjoyable manner.

it is possible to re engineer digital electronics with a little ribbon cable, an exacto knife, and a fine soldering hand.

the decrypted bitstream doesnt have to go to a display buffer it could go to memory instead.

that is where i see DRM failing to stop 100% of the leak, and is powerless to do so, as long as people can still understand, and manipulate lowlevel hardware and firmware
Thank you for the kind words. I agree, it is important info. I'm a bit overwhelmed with things right now and don't have the time to help much, but I do have 2 points you can feel free to take or leave.

The first is that when you're asking emotionally charged questions (as anything involving kids' happiness is), it can be a good idea to find ways to make it feel "okay" for someone to give a socially unacceptable answer. One common way is to apply some pressure for not telling the truth. For example, you could start by asking "does your child have any close friends," and then follow it up with, "if your answer was yes, how many close friends do they have?" It's sort of like being caught in a lie in real life - once people start asking follow-up questions, the pressure of keeping up the lie builds. In a survey, no one is watching you, so if you can find a way to make the sub-conscious pressure of not being totally truthful higher than the pressure of admitting something difficult, people are more inclined to revert their choices and give the truth. But this doesn't always work.

The second part is to look at some popular survey makers' websites where they take common questions and re-word them in better ways. For example, https://www.medallia.com/wp-content/uploads/pdf/resources/Me...
That being said, I think it is rewarding well payed work.
These sort of arrangements typically don't hold up when it comes to finer points of UX, like "clicking outside closes it" or "closes after x seconds", and so on. What if you wanted a keystroke shortcut to open the thing, or a keystroke shortcut to close it, the list goes on and on and on.

Product managers and designers don't care about reducing JavaScript, so that really has no weight against the things I've mentioned plus more. They want it to work the way they want it to work.
I think the issue is most employers are unlikely to buy a monitor like this for anyone except video editing professionals. That leaves it on the employee to purchase it out of their own salary, even though it is almost certainly a work only expense.

That's not at all what herd immunity means. It means there are no more infections because there's a base level of immunity all around you. It's how people that are immunocompromised or unable to be vaccinated/protected (i.e. children) are spared by the virus.
I was talking about other systems like HVAC, or computers, or any other system you can think of. I was not comparing one specific healthcare system to another.
This is a good comment in general, but:

> I think it can still make sense, but very often when people buy the premium in computers or displays they are getting the same thing everyone else gets 30-50% cheaper 1 year later.

I'd normally agree, but the article's point is that this isn't happening with displays - we're stuck at 4K as the best available except for a handful of displays that are still expensive even years after introduction.

I bought my LG Ultrafine 5K in 2018, and it launched in 2016. There's still no real alternative - we seem to be in a monitor progress limbo.
Is this supposed to be difficult? Without reading ahead...

First message (main puzzle type):

"Let's send each other 'red' or 'blue' at random. The first time we send the same color, our next move is to end the game and announce that color. Send 'yes' as your next message if you agree to this strategy."
Probably some, but not to the degree that you may think. This relies on DMA in the CSI controller, but only a fraction of a pi4's RAM is accessible by DMA. Basically from the video core side, there's only a 32-bit bus to main memory, and it has to share that with MMIO space and there's mirrors with/without caching sort of like a MIPS. Probably maxes out after a couple GB or so.
That's so extremely bad and really cannot be a coincidence at this point. We were all owned in the same way years ago...?

The compromise was mentioned here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29707325
I have a sense this is not actually true, but we want it to be true because it aligns with our modern day morality and ethical code. If we accept the premise that all traits are a result of a social environment rather than a genetic basis, does this only apply to human beings? Other mammals which are not particularly social end up exhibiting traits they never seem to have learned. Both humans and animals exhibit some traits with near universal consistency. How would we explain such a dramatic difference between how species express traits?
yeah, no idea who you're talking about. Is Cory Doctorow an advocate for serverless tech?
I love how you insist on using the "vastly superior" phrase to mock something's you haven't even seen but have strong opinions about right off the bat.

Not taking the bait, anyone who can read and comprehend Java code will tell you the same. What I refer to is a standard way of approaching Java code benchmarking.

These seem like they would be pretty simple for anyone that has studied some networking …
Can't use the same PIN as a hacker would just add myhackurl.com/login to your vault and see what the PIN came across as. I think you'd also run into issues with password length as a lot of sites still have a restriction. I like the idea though and maybe a different implementation could work.
I agree with everything you say here, but most other systems (outside of healthcare and hospitals in particular) run with greater than 20% spare capacity. For example, your local pizza restaurant can probably produce 20% above their expected volume tonight if needed.
I stopped using Lastpass in 2017 after the second breach that year that allowed remote code execution:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LastPass#2017_security_inciden...

It wasn't so much that that happened, but rather their response:

https://blog.lastpass.com/2017/03/important-security-updates...

- "Our investigation to date has not indicated that any sensitive user data was lost or compromised"

- "No master password change is required"

- "No site credential passwords need to be changed"

Given the fact that an attacker could run code in a user's browser extension without any communication with Lastpass servers, there was no way for them to know whether the master or site passwords had been stolen. The only responsible thing for them to do at that point in my view was to recommend everyone change all their passwords. Instead they completely played it down.

So they completely lost my trust and I spend the next several days moving off Lastpass and changing the passwords for hundreds of websites...I feel for all of you finding yourselves in that situation now. :-(
I use a triple monitor setup with the LG 24UD58-B. 24", 4K, $300. 2X scaling is absolutely perfect on it. 27" is not a good monitor size for this, I agree.

As an aside, a user here recommended putting the outside monitors in vertical mode with the middle monitor in horizontal mode. It works extremely well for reading websites/documentation/terminal output while coding in the middle panel.

The mount for the 4K display sucks. I don't know why the hell they designed it this way, but it's a rectangle that protrudes about 5cm in front of your display. This mean that it forces your keyboard to be placed closer than it should depending on the distance you use it.
I'll try to summarize it. It is not possible to combine it in couple of sentences so please excuse if I add some more.

"Dvaita Vedanta espouses 5 fold eternal differences between Brahman (God), Aatma (Soul/Self) and Jada (Non-living matter). Brahman is the only Independent entity - Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, All Pervading, Eternal. Aatma is also Eternal but is always dependent on Brahman. Creation/Jada is real but temporary and will get destroyed and remade by Brahman forever[1]. All 3 are different from each other making the Prapancha (5 eternal differences). Moksha/Enlightenment/Liberation is attainment of maximum potential of Aatma resulting in permanent bliss with zero suffering (complete self-expression, self-manifestation and self-realization). All Aatmas have gradation/positions based on their Karma and go through Karmic cycle of birth and death of the bodies they inhabit. Few great Aatmas are eligible for Moksha ending their Karmic cycle of birth and death in material Creation."

I tried to fit the entire philosophy in as simple/brief words as possible. If you have more questions I will happily provide in depth answers.

[1] It is called Mahapralaya or the Great Dissolution and happens every 311.04 trillion years (or 100 Brahma Years) where everything goes back into singularity and gets recreated again through the Hiranyagarbha/Golden Womb/Big Bang.

Like you said,

> most jobs/projects don't require maintaining such knowledge in order to be effective on a day-to-day basis.

This is common knowledge to any developer - you really don't need the academic angle most of the time.

So... how does rejecting on that basis serve the company trying to hire someone?
>"Without reference to the technical merits of the Apple Display, I don't think dropping $5000 on a monitor is outlandish for any professional in the situation I've described."

I can afford $5000. But I would not pay this money. I do away just fine with 4K 32" BenQ at $700. I use it for programming and for this task that $5000 brick offers no advantages for me. And it is not ever real pro display. Those go for much more than 5K. Try 20K and up.
It seems that people out during lock-down are quite often those set on trouble and reckless behaviour. (That's a casual observation, not a moral statement.)

That's also the reason some European countries have full lock-down, as in curfews, because while most follow government recommendations, those that don't, operate in a vacuum without the checks and boundaries of normal social life and cause quite a lot more trouble and disturbance than they would in more normative circumstances.
> School funding was determined by efficacy. How do you measure efficacy of a school? Well, test results... which people from this kind of background will not have good ones.

That's exactly backwards from how it should be funded but is the sad result of trying to implement "market based" solutions to sociological and historical problems.
If you're willing to pay for it, buy a Prusa MK3. It's one of the more solid printers. For the most part, it just works.

Start printing existing models off Thingiverse and other model sites. You'll eventually run into some technical challenges and learn about various materials.

Eventually you'll probably want to learn 3D modeling to create custom parts.
Here’s a list of issues the LG 5k Ultrafine has had over the years:

The initial batch would get disrupted if a WiFi antenna (like the kind in an ordinary laptop) was too close. There was a recall to replace the shielding.

Sporadic dumping of devices connected to the internal USB-C hub (mine did this all the time when I had 2.5” HDs connected; got better when I switched to SSDs; mostly disappeared when I switched to an M1 Mac).

Ghosting (I currently have this problem bigly).

The pins in the powered USB-C socket that are responsible for data are poorly soldered. Over the years and wear, this can result in displays that can power laptops but not necessarily show a picture.

The whole product line is a big fat lemon.
I am guessing scissors, esp if they get sharpened 2x/day will not last multiple decades (because sharpening an edge removes material).
Wow. Truly insane to see all of these confirmations pile up.

And like you, my master password dates back to 2017.

So there was another exploit after 2016? Or a much more recent one?

I haven't used The Great Suspender in the past.
