> But many people contribute to the problem with a variety of unhealthy life choices, and blaming one particular group for the problem, and writing policies to punish that group (many of whom also happen to be the PM's political opponents), is the worst kind of politics.

Most other unhealthy life choices are low-moving train wrecks and can be accommodated for: it's not like the obesity and diabetes rates go from 15% to 40% in the span of six months. A good portion people's choices can be accommodated for 'simply' by looking at trend lines and planning accordingly.

> And suggesting that the lack of healthcare in Canada is caused by the unvaccinated is simply dishonest.

Any problems that any healthcare system in the world had were (and are being) exacerbated by the sudden surge of COVID patients. The unvaccinated-by-choice are needlessly making things worse for a whole lot of people who need a hospital/ICU bed through no fault of their won.
I'm likely to lose the use of my hands in the next few years so I've been trying to figure this out from the user perspective (for Linux) for a few years to try to sort of set up and get used to the tools I'll need later in life.

I've been using Almond, but it's really not good. I don't know how I might help but I'm definitely interested in the results... if I could use a high quality microphone to open a program, select menus, and type accurately (and have commands to press arrow keys) I think I'd be all set. I would be able to do anything I wanted, even if it was a bunch of steps.

I remember Dragon Naturallyspeaking in like 1995 being basically capable of doing all of this, and I was able to completely control a computer in like 1995 with speech and now I can't. It's extremely strange for 26 years of development.

It is as if all the tools try to be so clever that instead of assuming the user can learn new tricks, to me it should be the same as learning to type or use a mouse. Yeah, I used to have to say "backspace backspace period space capital while" to get fine details, but at least it was possible. I could even select things with voice commands. I just hope that we don't lose sight of the value of voice recognition as a general input device in search of which model performs best on accuracy alone.
But regulations can be changed, if they are stupid.

So are they stupid(overprotective), or do they make sense, in the meaning there is a real danger from eating contaminated boar?
Apple is a great example of innovation coming from a small company at the start. Although to be more precise, it was the application of somebody elses innovation they got right (and more importantly, got the timing right). It took Apple and the other personal computer companies a couple of tries to get their product fit and pricing right but when it happened they created an entirely new market segment. The only really big player in that segment for a long time was Tandy.

Big companies all start small, they innovate their way to big and then start crushing innovation in every way they can in their market segment, which makes them stagnant and leaves room for new innovations from small companies to take over. It happens over 10, 20 and even 50 year time frames depending on how good the big companies are at crushing innovation (buying them out, pricing them out etc).

As a small company, your best bet is start in some niche they don't notice until you get big enough that you can't go away any more. Which brings us back to the Apple 2.
I use it for an internal API that needs credentials to make additional calls. It lets me keep the HTTP semantics super clean.

Feels like I learned most of these from the fortune line in my .login file in the 90s, and now they form the landmarks of how I reason about problems. As a teenager, these quips were profound wisdom, and in fact some of them were.

Simple mental reference tools like the six reliability curves and mean time between failure, pareto distribution, network and cascading effects, shortest paths and solvability, recursion, mutability locking and versioning, complexity classes, logical contrapositives, dependent and independent probability, are all things the fortune file seemed to have quips about and if you had a sense of humor, you could map them to everyday situations. Hackers are an old trope now, but when you read these together again, it was a very rich and distinct culture and way of thinking. I appreciate seeing these put together.
The GDPR/Cookie rules are just the same common courtesy that all projects I've been invovled with always has had. No ad trackers and no personal data stored about what I did on the site unless necessary for the function provided. There is no exemption for personal sites. Point being, I'm from the EU but some times that has not always been important and only come up after working with someone online a couple of years.

Basically; HTTP Basic auth does not make you website anymore private than a login page. Just treat you users fair and be straight forward with what you do with the data, and you won't need any lawyers.
Also, using TLS with Perfect Forward Secrecy (all modern ciphers), it's not possible to just capture the traffic and dectypt it later. You have to know the private key and do MITM.
Not theoretical, you can do it today.

Opus is especially space-saving at lower bitrates (as you've discovered). At higher rates the difference is less spectacular, but for non-critical/casual listening (what many of us do most of the time), the space savings (for thousands of files) can be substantial.

Oh sure, I was thinking in the context of renting property long term. I've never used Airbnb because hotels seem a lot more straightforward and hassle-free.
I live in Chicago. We're onto our THIRD police oversight agency here. "COPA replaced the Independent Police Review Authority, or IPRA, which had been discredited in the aftermath of the McDonald revelations, and which, in its own turn, had in 2007 replaced the Office of Professional Standards, or OPS, in the midst of an earlier police scandal."

They replace the agency every few years. There'll be another new one in a couple of years. They'll fire all the staff who, as you say, are not supposed to be related to the police, but who are all actually related to the police, and then rehire them all to the new agency.

An officer in my case, who has previously been found to have lied in an investigation where he beat an unarmed Mexican man, lied to the grand jury to obtain an indictment against me which resulted in my imprisonment for many years. I tried to report him to COPA and they just disappear the complaint each time. It's like you hand the complaint to them and ask them for a receipt and they are like "What complaint? Who are you? Why are you in our office? Please leave before we call security." I've tried and tried and never got a response. If I wasn't on house arrest I would just chain myself to a fixture in their building until police had to remove me.
Interesting. This seems to be concerned with grid electricity consumption which is kinda reasonable

How complex and unusual is the authentication system you are working on?

If it was a consumer-facing web app, it's not like your password is logged in a million different places. It's possibly logged by your web server software (nginx in my case), and it's possibly logged by your web app framework's requests handler. It's not terribly hard to ensure that these points where the password passes through do not have passwords in their logs, or to ensure that said passwords are not logged to begin with.

If it was a massive enterprise system, I would hope that you would use a single-sign-on system with a centralized login page rather than exposing passwords to every web app within it. And then, just ensure that said passwords are not stored in logs. This is what I meant by clean logs - anywhere the password is used, ensure there is no record. How much code and how many layers does a password need to go through?

And yes, maybe client-side hashing does resolve some attacks, but I remain convinced that it is overkill and less protective than it initially seems. And in the future we would move to Zero-Knowledge Proofs but we aren't there yet for general users.
> Friendly fraud is allowed to sue in court. The beauty of know your customer.

So cryptocurrency merchants like Coinbase Commerce, BitPay have no KYC checks either?

> What's the proof? What's your point?

Forgotten?

>>> Many ecoms added support in 2017 and removed that functionality again.

>> That's why a vendor won't pick crypto when the goal is selling products as in e-commerce.

So Pacsun is not e-commerce and they are not accepting cryptocurrencies? Why have they (and many others) added it then, even after 2017?

> became a useless site?...

Useless to who? Nike? So the interest is not there and it is still not 'e-commerce' because it isn't 'normal' e-commerce somehow? Oh dear. Maybe Ebay in 1995 is not normal 'e-commerce' because of the purchase price of the bids of limited edition goods.

> I think I have plenty of e-commerce experience ;)

If you did, you wouldn't need to try denying and narrowing your complaints or making absolute comments of 'what you really meant' because someone said use Bitcoin Cash? After every example given, Why change and continue to narrow the definitions of 'e-commerce' in the first place? Then make an absurd correlation between the price of Bitcoin in 2017 vs the price of a stablecoin in which that already addressed your outdated complaints.

Is that why you continue to deny the existence of cryptocurrency payments after 2017 by 'never looking back' but only reading single datapoints and headlines you agree with?

> And please. If you want to refer articles, refer articles where crypto payments were used and researched.

And why would I use that source if the study of users is limited to a single country for you to make the case that 'no-one uses their crypto' globally? You have done the same mistake with all your sources and estimates, thus making your complaint(s) beyond invalid.

So you are telling me the overall trend and interest is going down, and the merchant such as the OP still cannot accept USDC and I cannot do this right now since you said 'nothing has changed'? Are you still stuck in 2017 or are you prolonging your appeal to ignorance?
Entirely different software. Doesn't share this issue.
"The thing that stands out here the most is the complete lack of control that the crew had over the plane. The crew was managing the computers rather than flying the aircraft."

I am not a pilot and I have no interest in flying nor any particular interest in aviation, generally ... and I find this talk to be fascinating.

EDIT: you can jump to 3:35 where he gives a specific example of a situation where pilots need to choose between automation dependency and dropping down a level of automation. He's a really good speaker and you can tell the audience is very engaged.

So instead of telling the next crew to configure the system properly they are instructing the previous crew not to set it wrong? I really can't follow that. Of course it should be checked, every time.
As someone with health and burnout issues who cares about correctness and fell out of love with C++ some time ago (but hasn't really gotten into Rust or Zig) I feel like I can sympathize a bit with Isabella.

In my case my employer terminated me 2 months ago following an ischemic attack. I had been neglecting my health and working an unsustainable schedule since 2020. Now my family is helping me make lifestyle changes I need.

The experience made me rethink my work priorities. Correctness is important to me but I'm less interested in solving the same correctness problems I've solved for many years in imperative languages like C++, Go or Java when statically-typed functional languages like Haskell offer the promise of preventing many of those problems .

So now I'm teaching myself Haskell. It's not easy but I'm learning a lot and it's helping me understand other languages better as well. I hope my next employer shares similar views about correctness and functional languages.
> the next takeoff crew likely will not remember to set it to proper value before takeoff.

If the takeoff depends on it, the next takeoff crew had better remember to set it. What's more, there better be at least one checklist that requires them to set it. And they had better follow the checklists.
Yup, had a feeling this was going to be about "wokeness" when I saw that title
Fits my experience well. It is work until you’re wealthy enough, then it is play. When my friends say they want to “retire early”, they all mean “do what I actually want with my time”. I’m continuously surprised how many people don’t realize money equals freedom and instead consider it a shallow pursuit. Getting the wrong message from scrooge and the wolf of wall street perhaps. You can sit around playing guitar all day, or whatever it may be…but you need money. It is fungible for all things in our society - time, votes, work, resources.
> There’s a difference between something being developed by a third party and rubber stamped and made a FIPS by NIST

DES was developed by a third party (IBM, IIRC) and it was altered by NIST/NSA before its final form was approved. Turns out it was altered to maker it stronger against an attack no one publicly knew about at the time.

Things could potentially be approved that are mostly strong, except against an attack(s) that are only known in classified circles.
I’m imagining at least one rogue planet out there (they said they could be billions) was happily orbiting a star for billions of years, life formed, even relatively intelligent life, and then another rogue planet fell in to the solar system and passed right by the first planet in such a way as to eject it from the solar system without hitting it, and all this life on the planet suddenly loses daylight as their planet flies off in to deep space. And now their ancient civilization is frozen in time, adrift in deep space.
My probably wrong belief is that it was a misguided but noble idea of abstracting complexity.
Got a zero on a phone screen almost minimum brightness. Dragging sucked and confused me a bunchcause I'd try to move something and it wouldn't move. But my mother was a photoshop and color grading expert for hallmark for a couple decades so it's probably somewhat genetic advantage
I switched to fastmail, using my own custom domain name, and it's been great. I couldn't believe how much better their web client is.
I meant, let's say I picked a framework. Django, Laravel, Express, similar.

How would I implement PAKE login for my users? How would I get every user to log in with PAKE? How would I ensure that my code for PAKE could not be overwritten if a hacker took over part of my server?

It doesn't exist, AFAIK, on a user-facing front at this time in a secure way that a hacker couldn't just change the logic for.
"...rather, they were picked up off the ground by powerful waterspouts..."

Otherwise WTF were these now-flying fish doing on land in the first place!?
Not to MAR the point you're making, but isn't that scenario pretty FAR from real-world PAR? I'm sure you find JARs in RARs and TARs too, especially from shady VARs, but at some point we're planning out SAR for when a meteor hits our CAR.

Sounds like a sensible mix. There is really no single silver bullet.

We at https://symflower.com/ are working on a product to generate unit tests.
Unlike quickcheck/proptest we promise to find errors, even if they are unlikely (for example [this input](https://github.com/AltSysrq/proptest/blob/master/proptest/RE...) would be trivial for Symflower).
Also, unlike fuzzing our technology is deterministic.

Here's one of our blog posts that explains the approach: https://symflower.com/en/company/blog/2021/symflower-finds-m...
tech stocks (outside FAANG) are way off highs. Most down 30-50%.
I cannot imagine how unbelievably loud and damaging having a 777 fly 75 feet above my house would be.
This is incredibly cringeworthy - for a company CEO to brag about employees working through Christmas. Just wow.
Technically true, but code running on those mappings won't be able to tell the difference.

Another way to look at it is that the page size does change, but the size of the page table entry expands at the same rate, and you can therefore mix and match page sizes. They're equivalent concepts.
For Java projects, we use OWASP dependency check as a Maven plugin, which fails the build if compromised log4j2 deps exist: https://owasp.org/www-project-dependency-check/
Retirement doesn’t mean you have to move to Florida to golf and flirt with grannies. The point is that you can do whatever you want - it might be some sort of work.

It’s a question of what would I do if I didn’t have to build my whole life around working 8 hours every weekday
Standard takeoff procedures would have them rotating at a calculated airspeed and pitching for a climb target before transitioning to follow the FD. This crew’s issues went way past a pre-select mistake.
> Altercations are a potential issue even driving (more so than walking actually)

are you referring to the complimentary car wash at president and lombard? but yeah I agree, there's a lot that's wrong with baltimore's downtown.

if you assume that most people have to commute to work, it does make sense to have a downtown that's mostly office buildings and well-connected via public transit. so I kinda expect most downtowns to be kinda boring, not sure why you would expect them to be fun to walk around it. of course, nowhere in baltimore is particularly well-served by public transit, and the downtown is not merely boring; it's downright unpleasant and somewhat unsafe.
The super wealthy diversify their investments: buying more businesses, investing in new ventures, expensive real estate. The silicon valley Engineering class usually buy three more homes in Austin, 2 more in Denver, etc. Whenever a desirable city appears on the radar (due to 0 state taxes or also companies moving to such cities), expect all new homes get scooped by the investors like those from the bay area.

Add NIMBY to this mix, with their pseudo-arguments about environment, parking issues, schools, zoning boards, zoning issues, local elections, etc. The end result: worsening housing crisis.
Defaulting stock returns to +8% is pretty ridiculous.

There's also something obviously buggy about the calculation because there's a suspicious minimum in the retirement age. If I zero out spending it says I should retire 8 years ago. If I set spending to double my income it says I should have retired 45 years ago. I spending is 220% of my income, I should have retired 921 years ago. When spending is 235% of net income, I should have retired 59325 years ago, in the late Pleistocene.

Knots is used for ground speed as well I thought?
Asking here as it is tangentially related, but is anyone aware of a way to route traffic on a specific port through a VPN while leaving other ports open? I have spent days looking for a solution to this and haven’t found any concrete answers. Hardware, software, anything.
> Would auditing my docker containers be a good idea

Yes! I frequently review any containers from the cloud I run. Load on isolated VM, start, cursory inspection at least. Then with images I'm happy with we keep them internally, until we need the upgrade.
Civilization elsewhere (China, South Asia, the Americas, etc) continued progressing even after this collapse. There is also no reason to believe that even the affected areas were that severely affected; sure centralized institutions might have collapsed, but it’s not clear what the cultural and demographic effects were.
I don't dispute the technology exists - I dispute that this technology can be deployed on a web app to general users effectively. I don't believe that is currently possible in production effectively in a way that neutralizes my arguments that an attacker could just change the JavaScript to record passwords somewhere.
I died a little inside reading this article. Clearly we have a lot farther to go with secure development lifecycle evangelism.
Taubes et al has a rough time reconciling the idea that fructose is toxic with the (established) fact that the brain produces its own!
Yes, exactly this. I found work stressful and fraught when I needed the money. Once I didn’t, I was free to enjoy the work I enjoy.

If anything, the flexibility in my schedule from financial independence opens me up to a lot of unpaid work I don’t enjoy (helping with my aging mother) because I’m the one who can. Ironically now that I don’t have to work, I wish I had more time to work!
Also zero on an iPhone 13 Pro, which has a very good/accurate display. I wonder how much the display used affects the score.
I had my patio doors open at midnight last night in rural Perthshire and was just wearing a t-shirt (and jeans). I thought I had "the fever", but upon checking the met forecast I was gobsmacked to see the temperature at around 15C. Yet only two days before I was scraping ice off of the car.
Why is it even possible to enter a desired altitude of 0 feet into an automatic pilot? As a layman, it’s hard for me to imagine why anyone flying a 777 would want to maintain an altitude of zero at full speed for more than a few seconds (if that).
The comment thread about a developer of a high level of mathematic ability who wrote and maintained a widely used piece of software used for backups. Someone commented something to the effect of “He gave up on solving Millennium problems to write backup software”.
> Do you want to take out the rubbish? Or do you start out wanting to and then want to do something else?

Both can occur but the first one is more problematic: I want to take out the rubbish but it feels like torture to force myself to start the task. It's not something easy to explain if you haven't experienced it, but it feels something like there's an invisible wall that prevents me from starting.

On meds there is almost no wall. I simply choose to do something and start doing it. It feels miraculous to me. Society has nothing to do with it.
https://www.nasa.gov/feature/greening-of-the-earth-mitigates...

And what exactly is the point you think you're making with that? From the link:

> Stopping deforestation and ecologically sensible large-scale tree-planting could be one simple, but not sufficient, defense against climate change.

So "global greening" is an anthropogenic phenomenon to counter global climate change. It actually confirms that we humans have the means and the possibility to meaningfully impact the climate, and that some of those efforts are proven effective.

Is that what you were trying to say?
Go stdlib has property testing built it. It's not as powerful as some quick check frameworks, but it's built right in. I wrote an article on it.
