There’s a limited amount of computer control, you have people checking to see that the platform is clear and it’s safe to leave. Meanwhile, the computer is controlling a physical system and it’s not like the control will be perfect… everything from weather to mechanical failures will affect it.
It's worth noting that after a lot of psychological evaluation that he was deemed a paranoid shizophrenic from years of abuse and starvation at the hands of his mother as a kid. That's detailed on Franklin's Wikipedia page as well.
The use of obscure and unintuitive terms would seem to hurt the objectives of security proponents to explain how systems have been compromised. If you tell me my credentials were "stuffed", I'm going to assume it was some technically sophisticated attack using some exploit or system vulnerability. If you tell me my password was simply stolen and posted on a website, and they're just brute force trying the password on all the systems, I'm going to know that my password has been compromised and some cybercriminals are out there using bots to try them everywhere.

In the first, case, I'd feel less empowered to do something about it. In the second case I'd be more aware of all the databases with old passwords in it and never reuse a password twice. (if that's what's happening).
What leads you to think that?

Everything remains in a hierarchical structure (or a few, if you consider the symlinks).

The notion of tags does away with a hierarchy.
Sums up my feelings really. I genuinely think that what they're saying is probably true, that these emails were sent in error (and I have to say I don't envy their teams at all in having to deal with the fallout from this), but it's also entirely understandable that many people will have been justifiably spooked to the point where they probably won't continue to use their services now.
I think there is an important word missing from the title, it is Police /Disciplinary/ Records that are being referenced. That is a significant difference and there is a very strong case that these should be retained in exactly the same way criminal records are retained (essentially forever) and for the same purpose - so they can be looked up and referenced should any officer come to attention and a fuller picture of their character is required.

This is a silly view of how language works. The point of language is to communicate ideas, which is why I asked about whether there was actually a failure to communicate ideas (there wasn’t). You might as well invoke Kant to complain about how hot dogs are not actually dogs, and they’re often sold in refrigerators so they’re not even hot!
This cultural expectation follows naturally from the nature of software. Software (especially of the networked variety) isn't something you can just deploy and be done. It has to be maintained to continue running over time as the ecosystem changes. The cost of this maintenance is lowest when amortized across the largest set of users, hence the success of open source software, and the desire to avoid forks. The people who are most qualified to maintain software are the original creators, so that is the path of least resistance.

Of course no one is obligated to maintain anything, open source maintainers abandon stuff all the time without any repercussions beyond passive internet rage.

unfortunately, I don't have access to that code anymore, I wrote a number of loaders for different data set types including CSV. The time series were all modeled as forward iterating stream of tuples, so there is no specific table abstraction. There is an implicit assumption that the stream is ordered by the join key, in a time series this being the timestamp, though nothing in the implementation enforced that.

Joins are always n-way merge joins, so you can write something like y = 2x^2 - 3z + c and fold that into a single streaming operation y = f( x, z, c ) where y, x, z and c are time streams.

When rendered to screen they looked very similar to your examples. With plugins in the IDE you could directly plot and array of time series as a chart.

Since the time I wrote NamedTuples the Julia core team folded the functionality into the core of Julia https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/types/#Named-Tuple-T.... This is the core of https://juliadb.org/ all credit to the Julia core team
Dillo still exists, for what it's worth. Netsurf is another reasonable choice in that same space.
I’ve written about their security story a while ago here, not much has changed since AFAIK: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/45170/how-safe-...

The trouble is that the majority of their competitors isn’t great either. I used to recommend 1Password, but another knowledgeable security researcher isn’t really fond of them.
That's a lot of floppy disks!
The signal will often go green (or in the case of this line, ATC will show that the train is cleared to proceed) prior to the actual departure time. This is because the trains are not allowed to close their doors until they have a departure signal, so this has to happen well before the actual departure time. Depending on the station configuration and signalling technology the signal clearing may simply occur automatically once the line ahead is clear, so it's up to the train driver to ensure that they don't depart too early.

They're both illegal under the Child Pornography Prevention Act of 1996:

> The Child Pornography Prevention Act added two categories of speech to the definition of child pornography. The first prohibited "any visual depiction, including any photograph, film, video, picture, or computer or computer-generated image or picture" that "is, or appears to be, of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct." In Ashcroft case, the Court observed that this provision "captures a range of depictions, sometimes called 'virtual child pornography,' which include computer-generated images, as well as images produced by more traditional means."

> The second prohibited "any sexually explicit image that was advertised, promoted, presented, described, or distributed in such a manner that conveys the impression it depicts a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct."

(From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_Pornography_Prevention_A... )

"Computer-generated" images was a remarkably prescient thing to include in 1996, since it criminalizes deepfakes and GAN images.

I think the standard argument is that even though actual minors aren't harmed by the creation of such images, the images trigger pedophiles to become more depraved or something. There's probably an element of the old obscenity laws to it - real or not, child porn is obscene, and obscenity isn't covered by the first amendment without some artistic merit.

I'm not sure of case law around enforcement of this.
modern python. thank you for the links!
Why is "unjust" and wanting some thing for free is not a valid legal argument here.

And TBH with all due respect trotting out rhetorical devices like "straw man" does sound like sealioning.
The main place I've seen these be useful is in ORMs. Metaprogramming allows you to decouple the business logic from the plumbing of query construction and memoizing, while maintaining syntax that most people are comfortable with. Django ORM did a really good job with this.

JS Proxy classes also use reflection. Check out the immer library for an awesome example of how those can be used to make coffee drinker to read and reason about.

Reflection should be used very rarely, but it's an amazing tool when it's the right tool
As a professional photographer who has been linked to Ken many times over the years, I would have to agree with the sentiment that you should STAY FAR AWAY from his blog.

Ken passed his technical prime and photographic abilities many years ago. That website is mostly bad information and should be wiped from the internet archive.
Saw this movie last night. One of the tougher movies I have watched. Being a satire, it exaggerates a bit, but still hits pretty close to home.
I just checked the copy of Websters Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) I loaded into a free app from the URL included in the article. "Condole", "condoled", "condolement", "condolence", "condoler", "condoling", "constrain", "constrainable", "constrained", "constrainedly", "constrainer", "constraining", "constraint", and "constraintive" are all present when searching for the root of both of those words.

> the cumbersome migration of the hand between keyboard and mouse

This is one of the reasons I love the TrackPoint and use it exclusively. There is no physical context switching between mouse and keyboard. If you are a touch typist, it is always right there on the home row.

I am such a TrackPoint nut that on the rare occasions when I've had to work on a computer that is not a ThinkPad (a desktop or a different laptop), I use a ThinkPad wireless keyboard to give it a TrackPoint:

https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/accessories-and-software/keyb...

One job I had issued Dell laptops, and I found that I could put the ThinkPad keyboard right on top of the laptop keyboard. It even left the Dell's touchpad accessible. I do use two-finger touchpad scrolling once in a while.

Something I don't like about modern ThinkPad keyboards is that they took away the Menu key and replaced it with a PrtSc (screenshot) key. The Menu key is such a nice way to bring up a context menu based on the current keyboard cursor location (rather than the mouse position). These AutoHotkey rules fix that:

; Remap the PrtSc key:
; PrtSc -> Menu (like an old ThinkPad keyboard)
; Windows+PrtSc -> Screenshot of all monitors
; Windows+Alt+PrtSc -> Screenshot of current window
PrintScreen:: AppsKey
#PrintScreen:: PrintScreen
#!PrintScreen:: Send {Alt Down}{PrintScreen}{Alt Up}

This is for Windows, of course. I imagine there must be a way to do something similar on Linux.

Another tip for Windows users: if you have a keyboard with a numeric pad that you don't use much, enable MouseKeys in the Windows accessibility settings. This lets you use the numpad as a "keyboard mouse" for precise mouse movement. Or if you have a ThinkPad keyboard, try my JKLmouse program (another AutoHotkey script) which gives you MouseKeys-style mouse control using the IJKL or HJKL keys (and neighboring keys for diagonal movement). It will work on other laptop keyboards too, but you really want physical mouse buttons like a ThinkPad for it to be useful.

(There is an installer, but I recommend downloading AutoHotkey and the jklmouse.ahk script from GitHub for the most flexibility.)
Generally curious and would love input from others, but from the research I've done, boosters are not recommended for all people and there was significant misgivings in the FDA officials who approved the booster:

As it's said a bit in that article, it's important to know that the response to anything should be based on a variety of factors and in this case including severity of getting the virus.

From my research, Omicron _is_ similar to getting a common cold. We should be adjusting our response based not only on how transmissible it is but on the consequences of us getting it, but it seems there is a much more black & white approach.

When the chance of death was significantly higher in other variants, holding off seeing ones kids made sense, when long-term covid meant going without taste or smell, that's a significant risk. I still see a lot of "do whatever is necessary to not get Covid" -- but that is now not including the severity of what you're getting. If we removed the name "Covid" and considered each to be a separate virus, would "Omicron" be something you freak out about?

If I were to do a generalized formula it would be something like:

[severity of illness] * [transmissibility] = [strength of response justified]

--------

Would love additional data that changes this mindset.

* I am vaccinated but not boosted.

EDIT: Getting downvoted without responses when I'm looking for genuine information to understand more thoroughly is a pretty poor approach to helping fight C19. It dichotomizes and turns people against each other rather than facilitate discussion or learning.

First I’ve heard of Hubitat. This is diff from HA? It’s own thing?
I haven’t seen it when I wrote the article. However, 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.
Canon EF is like Nikon F, it works on both types of cameras. Canon EF-S is what Nikon calls DX-only, cheaper but only works on smaller sensor cameras.
That's an oversimplified and cynical take.

Apple spends orders of magnitude more money and effort to ensure worker conditions in their supply lines than any other company.

Foxconn has a history of treating in-country employees like all the other local companies do. Multiply by a few thousand for scale, and some rate of bad things is inevitable. Apple audits Foxconn, but audits do not catch everything (and not immediately!).

Note also that Apple effectively shut down this Foxconn plant by refusing to accept manufactured product until the situation was rectified.

Extrapolating from a few cases of dramatic failures on the part of Apple's manufacturing partners is dishonest at best.

Twitter is such a bad platform for this. Code in images means it's completely inaccessible to the blind and very inaccessible to people with poor vision, and you can't copy and paste it into an editor for syntax highlighting or better examination.
The most useful part in my opinion is the discussion of how the word differs from synonyms. That should be a much bigger emphasis in modern dictionaries and thesauruses. Unfortunately many definitions from 1913 are already becoming out-of-date.
Different problems need different solutions. I don't think I've ever seen a solution that solves 100% of all problems. This doesn't stop me from trying to improve security where I see opportunity.
It really is incredible, the short flange distance rivals APS-C lens mounts, while the throat and inner diameter is by far the largest of the current mirrorless mounts. In practice, lenses are extremely well-balanced relative to the body, even the zooms like the new 24-120.

If we're comparing anecdata I was suuuper exposed to COVID and didn't get it. And I'm boosted. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Let's say the wheel, or reproductible fire, or written language, probably happened around 8,000 years ago - I'd say that's pretty danged important and should be memorialized.

Hey, I remember when the "L" meant "learning" too (I think they changed it to "Life" now).

I don't think consuming "stupid" entertainment makes us stupid or is even a solid indicator of intelligence (if you can settle on a definition of it). TLC just saw a market and pivoted, imo.
> Long hours yes, but a paid one, so it's a decision made by workers. Nothing wrong with that.

Not in the EU generally, and especially not in Scandinavia.

At least in Norway working overtime is only allowed up to a legally specified limit, even if you volunteer for it. The limit is 400 hours per 52 weeks and that will require permission from the Labour Inspection Authority (Arbeidstilsynet).

They don't give money, but they do get you a taxi if you missed your train change. Alternatively, a night at a nearby hotel and a new trip the next morning.
This is an excellent analysis, and I wish we saw more of these comparisons.

The status quo (which differs by country!) for compulsory or somewhat-compulsory vaccination provides a great benchmark for what's seemingly "reasonable."

I think that benchmark--and your analysis seems to show similarly--suggests most developed countries are sorta fine with compulsory vaccines for diseases like Covid. But looking at things through this lens helps contextualize and normalize the current policies--people who are concerned about Covid vaccines might feel a lot better when the vaccine is put into perspective.
Mirrorless cameras are already a thing that makes DSLR obsolete. But I assume that's not what you're asking.

I constantly get asked if I took a specific photo on my phone and the answer is always "no". People notice the details and the amazing color reproduction even without zooming in.
Some of the emails were probably real, and they just happened to have been when there was supposedly a issue. That can't part be definitive.

I used to never get hives, and then I started getting hives out of the blue, years before covid was ever a thing.

This is just a thing that happens to some people - look up "chronic idiopathic urticaria". 20 percent of the population, on quick google.

I'm saying that the hives may have been caused by the covid booster, maybe not, you need actual aggregate statistics on the population to make any causal claims.

I heard they give you money to cover a taxi if the train is late by a few minutes or something.

LOL. If that was true the Swedish train companies would have been bankrupt decades ago. Swedish trains are extremely unreliable. As someone who used to take the Stockholm-Gothenburg train a lot for work I was happy every time I arrived less than an hour late.
I still have a USB floppy drive that came with a Vaio laptop from the early 2000s. I've only ever used it once just to test that it worked but have held onto it for fun.

I actually like the paper analogy a lot, let's extend it: Say the journalist was instead freely handed a redacted government document on sheets of paper. The reporter notes that it was redacted poorly and the redacting can be peeled off or a bright light can be shined on it to reveal the text underneath. By doing this, is the reporter committing a crime? I have no idea. My intuition says probably not, but I think interestingly it's not a "definitely not" because 1) it's apparent to the reporter that the redacted information is intended to be private and 2) the reporter took some steps to uncover that information.

It's still not a perfect metaphor. It's not immediately clear that 1) is true here (the reporter probably was not trolling for private information) and it's highly questionable if 2) is true as it seems that this info was being sent along in HTTP responses. What is obvious to me is that that this guy had no malicious intent, took steps to do responsible disclosure (they didn't publish the article until the issue was fixed) and is being targeted by the political establishment as retribution for embarrassing them. Shameful stuff.
There've been a number of studies on this, and they basically find otherwise. About 50% of the variability in intelligence is explained by genetics (nature); 10% is parental investment (nurture), and 40% is peers (which includes education, but also local communities, friend groups, etc.). Genetic heritability actually grows as IQ is measured later in life, reaching up to 80% by late adulthood. This effect could be explained because raw intelligence is usually correlated with several environmental factors that then factor into the "nurture" and "peers" components, eg. more intelligent parents are more likely to be highly educated themselves, better able to provide help with homework, higher income, live in a zip code with other intelligent people, can afford college, can afford tutoring to get the kids into an elite college, etc.

The literature is too extensive to provide individual citations, but Google for [genetics of intelligence] or [heritability of intelligence] to get a sampling.

I (fully vaccinated) wasn’t an anti-vaxxer until Webster literally changed the definition of the word to include those “who oppose regulations mandating vaccination“

I feel pretty good about the safety and efficacy of the current vaccines, but the discourse is poisonous bordering on religious zealotry. What happens when vaccine with genuine safety issues comes along and is mandated?

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anti-vaxxer
There are too many unknowns about the risks of both COVID (with its multiple strains and poor research) and the vaccines (with their novel techniques and "warp speed" approval rather than going through the normal 3-year study). As a general moral proposition, it isn't acceptable to require people to take on unknown risks to protect others.
my first surprise was that the indentation actually matters. this is a great language. im disappointed that I've not explored Python before the other languages. Sadly the work environment was not friendly for this language for me so far.
Well that seems dangerous. Imagine the reaction if they get something wrong, the next time it won’t be just divisive, it’ll be war.

You're misstating the conclusions of that paper. The higher risk for young people only applies to Moderna and the comparison only compares myocarditis, while for a full risk/benefit analysis you need to compare all outcomes.

There are countries that only use Biontech for younger people, which is a reasonable way to deal with this if you have plenty of vaccine available.
I think a better analogy would be if someone looked through your window and saw something that shouldn’t be out in plain sight, called you to hide it, and then you prosecute them because they looked into your house.
