>If I have built an auto-forward between two endpoints that I control (or at least have permission or authority over) I am not a bad actor in any capacity.

I agree, though there are a few reasons why Twilio is sensitive to this.

I have almost a decade of experience in working with SMS and building apps for messaging, forwarding etc. In my case, I connected directly with SMS aggregators (who are the entities that actually connect carriers to each other), which is what Twilio does as well, so I've had to deal with many aspects of operating directly in this ecosystem.

For these messages that are being forwarded to other phone numbers, the messages are likely going through Twilio and out to the SMS network and physical carriers. I'm inferring this based on OPs comments which makes it sound like the forwarded messages are going to personal cell phone numbers. Even if there was a way to let Twilio know that those people want to receive those messages, there isn't a way to get the carriers on board with this.

In the US at least, the physical carriers have been standoffish with the virtual carriers like Twilio et. I have close to 10 years building similar things and in a company that connects directly to SMS aggregators just like Twilio does.

It's worth noting that long codes (i.e. traditional phone numbers) and short codes have entirely different cost structures. Since carriers get paid for messages on the latter, that's where they want automated messaging to originate. Since Twilio and others offer automation of long code messaging, they have to be very careful not to look like spam generation or consistently have too large an imbalance (i.e. one number generating far more messages than received). Carriers can and will block numbers (i.e. all SMS traffic from your number will be dropped) and, from my experience, they do it silently and with little recourse.

> But apparently the plan was (a) to use federal funds and manpower to get vaccines spread as widely as possible. There was an early goals of 100M doses in the first 100 days, which was met

Trump's Operation Warp Speed got the vaccines out with federal funding, and deployment under the Trump administration had reached 1.6 million per day before he was out of office - higher than Biden's original goal. That was why they had to increase the goal afterwards.
Weird mailing prohibitions in foreign countries (2009)
"Camelot wheel" is a misnomer for what's actually known as the circle of fifths. Either way, it's a way of quickly spotting "closely related" keys (e.g. C and G are closely related because G is the dominant tone wrt. C) and relative minors/majors (A minor is a relative key to C major, because it uses the same notes with a different tonal center and assignment of scale degrees).
Not to be confused with "How to use an IUD"
I admit I only skimmed the PEP, and I think their rationale is mostly sound. It's a concession to practicality, given the surprisingly limited resources of the Python core development group.

I certainly don't think the problem with GH is that it's for "mindless kids". I hate mailing lists and I hate old-school bug trackers that don't support code markup or rich linking. In the short and medium term, I'm grateful that things will become a lot easier. The long term is what worries me.

But I'm also probably being a bit too cynical. If and when in 5-10 years they want to move off of GH, they will be able to do so. I'm not envisioning some kind of catastrophic "rug pull" from Microsoft where suddenly the Github API disappears and the issue tracker becomes locked-in.
Latest WordPress security release fixes XSS, SQL injection bugs
Lightning supposedly drops that to a fraction of a cent, so it’s useful for smaller transactions than could be made with a credit card, but I don’t know how functional it is in practice yet.
ngrok doesn't have the distributed routing you're talking about, but (b/c its a tunnel?) it can forward non-http traffic (which I use to host a local proxy service to MITM debug mobile apps).
Sad. I'm a big fan of Sneakers.
That's software done _only_ with end users in mind. It's the same model as redhat uses. IT companies suffer from the fact that they resist changing the design of the product s.t. the company offers much less value in the equation.

>I know you're being satirical

I'm not, but yes theoretically they could track me down. Practically they're not going to expend the effort to prosecute some nobody buying personal quantities of recreational drugs.
It’s not clear why you are disagreeing with me.

More autistic isn’t the same a ‘severe’.
More like Intel to push more smarts into their cache hierarchy like Apple did, I would guess.
I dont think measuring hospital capacity by available beds by themselves is useful. Both parents are doctors and work in different hospitals. Both report a shortage of doctors and nurses and not enough ability to give care to all their patients due to simply not having enough time in the day.

You can have 20% free beds, but only 50% care capacity
I trust syncthing for singular/regular files but trusting something as complicated and interconnected as a git repo on it seems like a bad idea, especially if it's possible for two syncthing computers to act on the same git repo... I never really thought about trying it.
Some southern cities in Europe like Barcelona have historical city centers with really narrow streets (enough to walk but no more) with tall buildings. This allows those streets to almost never directly receive sunlight. It's so impressively effective that you can sometimes even feel cold in summer, and in very hot days, heat doesn't accumulate.

But then, aren't symptomless screenings also discouraged? Because many screenings have risks of false positives, and you end up having to do more (possibly dangerous/invasive) screenings as well as stress out about it needlessly?

In particular, this is often brought up when preventative cancer screening is discussed.
"White woman doing Othello" has been attempted fairly regularly in recent years, and people do indeed object to it - for two reasons.

One is that it's allegedly racist in itself ("It's a black role for a black actor") and the other that it's superficial tokenist wokeism and against the natural order of things. ("It's a black role for a black actor.")

In related news There was controversy in the UK this week about a famous Jewish actor complaining that former Israeli premier Golda Meir might be played in a new movie by a non-Jewish woman.

I find this all quite strange. The whole point of art is imagination. Expecting actors who are playing to a stereotype to actually be that stereotype makes as much as demanding that only real retired spies can play James Bond, and only real time travellers can play Doctor Who.

But perhaps that's not a popular view. These roles are tribal totems and morality markers, and casting against that reveals how they operate.

The real problem is the nature of status and hierarchy. Conservatives get very uncomfortable when status and hierarchy are challenged, and many liberals assume they're challenging status and hierarchy when really they're just challenging a certain ordering, and not the abstract principle.

Personally I find too much US media output has a lot in common with plain old everyone-is-a-warrior fascism. I'm really bored by big dumb movies and TV shows which are all about spurting blood and super-athletic ultra-violence in the pursuit of some dystopian Randian mix of self-defence and self-interest.

I don't care if the actors are male, female, white, non-white, gay, trans, or cyborgs. I do care about what they're doing, and most of it isn't that interesting.
You mean like this?

Man, this is way too complex for me.
It doesn't really very much, and what it does say sounds to me to be ... incorrect : "which allows both states to conduct military exercises in the territory of the other country without permission".

And yes, self-promotion.
If the interim commits are not interesting (which they often aren’t) then it is definitely a lot easier to wrangle a single commit than multiple. This is good for cherry picks as well. Much easier to pick a single commit than a bunch.

I also like the “reset and recommit” approach to squashing in place. It greatly benefits from being easier to explain to coworkers who are less experienced with Git. Reset and especially commit are common operations. Interactive rebase and the text editor that pops up and requires manual editing can be overwhelming for less experienced team members.
There are a few things that this date could be hiding (not saying it does, just that it could). Did they cancel any significant number of non-urgent treatments because of covid? What do they call "staffed beds"? Has the number of staff per bed changed? How much overtime has the staff been doing during these two years?
what are the use-cases for cloudflare in front of GitHub pages?
One reason for the previously very high trust that existed in Sweden is the homogenous population. Everyone spoke the same language, knew the same songs, had the same values. (Other reasons could include protestantism, the cold climate, low crime rates etc).

When the population is becoming very diverse, and as crime is increasing, trust falls. This is not speculation, it is well known. And it's happening in Sweden, it's just trailing behind. People over 40 grew up in one of the safest countries in human history, so it takes time for them to adjust to the new reality. In 30 years, trust in Sweden will approach Rio.
Agreed. This information is more dangerous to companies than it is to employees.

If people figured out a way to get this same information for their colleagues to use for salary negotiation, companies would likely stop contributing the data.

There's the saying to "quit while you're at the top". He has a massive victory with M1. Staying in place the best outcome in the future is to deliver incremental improvements. Going to the competition and helping them bootstrap another potentially hugely successful chip is certainly far more attractive. A new challenge is probably worth more than money alone.
Fascinating insight!

Jruby is anything but performant when compared to Java, there's overhead.
Biden is such a balerine.

Once upon a time he ran his campaign on "I will beat Covid". [0]

Once Omicron appeared, he pivoted - "Opps, we didn't expect" that[1]. Cool story bro, it was discovered at the end November.

And now he pivoted one more time, shamelessly claiming: "there is no federal solution to COVID"[2]

Pivot, Pivot, Pivot, no delivery, crisis after crisis with no solution. Is there one competent person in this administration?

Do not be fooled into thinking, "The language made me do it" when the culture that surrounds the language made you do it. Different technologies have cultures brought on by often self-appointed leadership figures, even anonymous ones. Those leadership figures can popularize abuse by convincing others that it's a well-established cultural norm, simply because we tend to loathe non-conformity.

Third-party frameworks are often used to establish one's self as a leader and establish abusive practices. Once the foothold is firm, it becomes literally "The framework made me do it." Cultural norms mandate the framework, and the framework forces the abuse. If anyone protests about the consequences of abuse, blame is redirected back at the language.

To any onlooker, the consensus seems clear: Your language sucks! Those same onlookers are happy to reinforce this perception because they are busy trying to establish competing cultures & leaders of their own. "You should try my language!" Of course their primary goal is not to help, but to improve their own status by rising the tide and lifting their own boat. If they wanted to really help, they would work on establishing better culture instead of jockeying for popular culture.
Yeah, I was answering this from the article:

"Note that there is nothing about Perl that forces you to [use regexes]...It provides all the tools needed"

I was saying that Perl does sort of force you down the regex path, because things like starts_with() aren't there. You're basically confirming that.

Also, it varies by search string size, version and machine type, but at least for me, index() is significantly faster in many situations...2 to 3x faster.
Different challenges appeal to different people. From his background, he seems motivated by high levels of ambiguity, rather than maintaining mature products. By all outward indications, he is leaving Apple on a high and has no doubt helped develop a multi-year roadmap for the Apple Silicon team. He accomplished what he set out to do, and is simply excited by the opportunity to do something new in his field of expertise.
many people have tried that

It's definitely a sign of executive dysfunction, but executive dysfunction has causes that aren't ADHD. My executive function fluctuates with my anxiety, for example, and my MS has blown a giant hole in it.
No and I'm sure Pat knows this too, I think the reason Gelsinger said that is in the 2nd part: "creating a better chip than Apple can make."

That's more a message to Intel and their customers than to Apple.

Unlike other comments, I don't think this is always associated to ADHD. Rather, I think this is a natural tendency for the current normal hivemind of always being distracted at work.

John Cleese in his book about creativity talks about how procrastination is actually our natural ability to be most creative. If we are leaving something until the last minute, it often means we don't really have a great solution or don't have enough time to think about it. Even if we do have a solution in mind, leaving it till the very last minute gives us enough time for other ideas to come up.

This seems to be a recurring problem in knowledge work where a large effort that has "deadlines" tends to keep being missed. The cause? Not having enough slack or diffused time to just think. Often it's juggling the task ontop of a thousand others and being constantly distracted.
As an ADHD dev, the adoption of WFH at most companies has been a godsend. I cannot work in an office environment, and usually work in small 'bursts' of productivity over a day, where I do a day's worth of coding.

Not being watched takes the stress off of me to look like I'm doing something important.
They kind of did think they were building the ideal government, though. One of the major, under-emphasized influences on the framers (especially Jefferson) was Destutt de Tracey, who developed the term “ideology.” For Destutt de Tracey, ideology meant the formal study of ideas as scientific objects. Large parts of his writings deal with determining the scientifically optimal form of government (cf. Marx). In his correspondences with Jefferson, you can read how much the new government took from Destutt de Tracey, both in form and outlook, to the point that Jefferson felt compelled to explain deviations from the Count’s prescriptions.
Notwithstanding bad actors, the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires[1], among other things:

1. Only business entities with a specific, legitimate purpose can request / access a credit report.

2. Consent must be provided depending on use case.

"Soft pulls" (e.g., pre-screened CC offers) can be done without your consent. (You can opt out of these.)

A dealership finance office or lease broker would absolutely run your credit, and typically there are explicit forms you sign authorizing such a check as part of that business transaction authorized by you. "At will" checks outside of such transactions would appear to be in violation of FCRA.

Conversely, credit agencies are required to provide you a list of all inquiries upon demand, so you can see if those parties you mention actually are running your credit without your permission.

This is answered quite clearly in the linked page.

GitHub Pages originally didn't support SSL on custom domains, so people would often put Cloudflare in front of it.

Now GHP does support SSL on custom domains, so Cloudflare is no longer needed, but obviously a lot of sites still exist with the original setup.
fork that noise
I clicked on a random episode, "Exploring ADHD with Eric Tivers". Couple of things stuck out to me, listening to the dialogue:

1. forgiveness - forgive yourself for not being perfect

2. "do I really have this things". It's good to know I'm not the only one struggling with this.

I'll keep on listening, thanks again for the link.
My "distro" is MacOS... I'm sure there's a way to change the default, but now I don't have to google "how to quit vim" that often anymore, so I haven't bothered.
I use the same, it's mostly okay except when I mistype an English word that happens to be a word in French and the keyboard decides to correct the next few words to French.

Also amusing is that autocorrect, even while in English mode, suggests the bear emoji when I type "ours" or the cat when I type "chat".

Just speculating here, but I wonder if their point is that they went out of their way to create a PDF that is as unusable as possible, and that Word 2010 is somehow required to create such a PDF.

A few simpler explanations:

- Equifax IT hasn't rolled out modern O365 apps

- The form was created a long time ago, and has not been updated

Regardless of the exif data, I do believe that friction is absolutely a feature in this process, but I also think the Word 2010 angle is tenuous at best.
No. You presuppose autism to be a disease, like a tumor.
Link to the current list of restrictions: http://pe.usps.com/cpim/ftp/manuals/imm/full/imm.pdf

A few actual quotes that I've found in just 10 minutes of browsing:

San Marino: "Toys not made wholly of wood"

Qatar: "Musical greeting cards"

Albania: "Extravagant clothes and other articles contrary to Albanians' taste" (already in the article but I thought the literal quote was even better)

The list is a gold mine, it seems every 5th country has some strange restriction
That's was a very fun read!
Feedback: I might suggest changing "Now Resolved/ Not Resolved" to Resolved/Broken. This could help with readability as right now there is 1 char difference and it took me a few times to parse.
What if the site owners change their SSL settings to Full SSL though?
DDR5 is a form of ECC and DDR5 is only supported on Intel so far.
Speculation generates 99% of the noise in crypto but technology does keep moving forward. L2s were just whitepapers a few years ago, now there are multiple full featured optimistic rollup L2s (e.g. Arbitrum); zkRs, which are much more complex, are getting close. Lots of complex applications are now running on single-app StarkNet (e.g. derivatives platforms like dydx) and like you mentioned, the multi-app network is in alpha.
I didn't know 1pass had changed. Glad I ditched them for Bitwarden a few years back. However I think bitwarden makes their backend complicated enough to scare off casual users of it like me who thought about hosting their own backend :) .

I can appreciate why its used. It’s a retort to common thought terminating cliches often said to dismiss climate reporting, which are, “this won’t happen anytime soon,” and “it won’t be that bad.” Once you get that out of the way, you can move on from rhetoric and focus on content.
From what you're saying, I'm inclined to agree as well. It seems like the media is constantly panicking about ICU bed levels but we can just as easily go online and look at the publicly available numbers ourselves and see that it's a different story.

I wonder if hospitals being overrun is not because of ICU bed capacity, but the support staff needed to support those beds.

The beds can be there, but if nobody is there to take care of them, it's a whole other issue. Not sure how anybody is measuring "capacity" (whether it's the physical beds themselves as the metric, or if it includes support staff)

I don't think there's any "right" answer here, which sucks. Hopefully this pandemic gets done and over with this year.
Common misconception about Intel microcode ROM is it's some sort of Flash memory, it's not. Update vaporizes each reset and the same "update" is loaded on each bootup.
I was also very surprised to see it drop to 0% in that chart too, especially considering I saw an article a few days ago that China vowed to hunt down and stop all bitcoin miners in their country within a year, but I didn't see any other data to suggest otherwise.

So yeah, I believe that article that there could still be 20% of mining hiding somewhere within China and using VPNs.

But it definitely resulted in a big shift away from China, regardless.
I would also add that sports can be highly emotional games, and getting a player angry or passionate (assuming they direct this at the other team) can actually be productive. This isn't the case with work that requires higher level of cognition, and not smashing someone against the wall to get a puck from them hah. I wouldn't want my subordinates to be angry at me or the rest of the organization for any reason.
Because if they don't maintain law and order they fail to meet the basic definition of government.

It's a fucking shame how many people nowadays can't grok the difference between git and GitHub.

Your question is fundamentally wrong; totally bass-ackwards. The correct question is:

When will all the zillion other projects move off of GitHub / GitLab / all the other usurper sites?
