Shameless plug: NEVER Sanitize Your Inputs (by me, 2013)
https://billpg.com/never-sanitize-your-inputs/
It's not particularly interesting to be out of sync with the rest of the world, you always are and messages to/from external entities are even more so constantly. When it is interesting is when the thing you are doing is a function of time e.g. GPS or locked-step systems spanning geographic regions or so on. In almost all of those cases you're probably well used to dealing with time problems that are a bigger pain than a leap second. For those that aren't hiding the leap second and being off by slightly more than usual for a bit is probably better than hoping everyone can be prepared to suddenly care a lot about handling time oddities for one second every year (or century as you propose).

Your blanket observation is not necessarily true of all databases or database drivers. You found three counter-examples yourself, but there's no reason to not consider them "sane". It's not less correct than for databases that do support prepared statements in the driver protocol.
Worth checking it out again, he toned it down a lot recently IMO. Still prefer Scott Manley, but only astronaut gets the level of access like that. I mean Elon showed him basically everything in front of a camera.
It's a little like a public health success: if done right, the worst that happens is that people have to prepare, and people complain about it, but disasters are avoided.

Pre-Y2K there was a lot of fuss and hand-wringing, but there was also a lot of software development that happened to ensure that Y2K would not be a disaster. So then when Y2K rolled around the preparations mostly worked.

My first programming job in high school was over-hauling a (mainframe-hosted) code base for handling lab data at a hospital. This was in the mid-90's; before most of the Y2K fuss had started. Without my work, pee and poo samples would be time traveling from the late Victorian era. You're welcome.

I'm not referring to anything specific, just the general tendency for systems to change over time to match the preferences of the entities with the most influence. Sometimes this is beneficial for others, sometimes it's detrimental. The point is that the evolution of the internet is now primarily selecting for what big tech wants.

This is much more obvious with the web. Everyone uses Chromium, so the web as a standard is now effectively whatever Google decides it is. See Widevine.

FWIW I don't see anything specific wrong with QUIC. I'm quite excited about it and think it will be good for the internet.

A negative leap second would be a fun experiment. E.g. in Germany, the atomic radio clock signal DCF77 does have a bit to announce a positive leap second, but it has no way of announcing a negative leap second.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCF77

Now, cheap DCF77 clocks (e.g., alarm clocks) don't care about the leap second bit anyway, but they will just adjust a few minutes later during normal resync. And they will do so just fine with a negative leap second. But some clocks, most probably those hidden in industrial systems, controllers, etc., may need to stay exact, and I am sure it's fun to find out which systems really care and will then fail and in what ways. :-)

Interestingly, the Japanese and the British atomic radio clock signals can do negative leap seconds:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JJY
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_from_NPL_(MSF)

For WWVB, whether negative leap seconds are supported seems to depend on whether amplitude or phase shift modulation is used.
Kidpower is my favorite resource for how to talk about personal safety with kids and teach them skills to help them stay safe with people. The Safety Comics are a good place to start:

https://www.kidpower.org/books/safety-comics/

And I also learned a lot and had some big mindset changes from reading the giant Kidpower Book for Caring Adults, which really goes in depth and is good at breaking things down into simple practices.

https://www.kidpower.org/books/kidpower-book/

I really like the mindset of teaching kids how to be safe in a positive way (i.e. without scaring them about potential dangers) and the serious-business approach to our responsibilities as adults.
nice! I did a very similar thing many years ago for the video game website giantbomb.com. they have a wiki and you get points for making contributions, but there's nothing to do with the points, they don't do anything. so I made my own website where you could predict review scores they would give upcoming games, and "gamble" (a copy of) your giantbomb.com account's wiki points, which were scraped once you logged in with pretty much the exact same system (putting a generated hash into your account profile).

I've always thought that this is a neat idea and similar methods could be used to make all kinds of cross-account connection stuff work on various websites. if you're making any kind of social site like this, allow users to have an editable public bio!

EDIT: A quick read later, section 6 is where they prove their claim. It's efficient when compared to equivalent sequential execution.

Universities are places where you go for intellectual pursuit of your interests, which is why majors like "study of russian history", "Anthropology And Archeology" exists. The major may be useless for employment, but the study helps preserve history and can be very interesting for the students who are passionate about it.

Somehow, society wrongly started associating universities for corporate job preparation.

I think people are starting to realize that if you want to get prepared for work, you should go to a trade training (like bootcamps). If you are priviledged enough to pursue your interests, then universities are a great place to be.

The administrative bloat helps cover the fact that their graduates aren't able to get jobs upon graduating. Parents and prospective students feel good that 99.7% of the graduates got a job within their first year of graduation and don't realize 7% of that was as an administrator for the college.
Oh, people are examining that question alright. It's just complicated and therefore hard to come up with a definitive answer.

If I had to summarise what I have read on the topic, it would be that either way works, but the up-front analysis is orders of magnitude more expensive. Some sectors require this: defense, nuclear, medical, and so on. In most areas, you don't need that and can't afford it in a competitive market.

But to hint at the complexity of the question: Not only is every project different, there are also sneaky feedback loops in there.

By the time you have completed the large up-front analysis the world is likely to have moved underneath you, invalidating some of the assumptions that went into the analysis. You can shape your analysis to account for this, for sure. But at that point does it still count as one up-front analysis or several? Is it truly up-front if it leaves options and decision points open for later?

And it's a continuum: the more options and deferred decisions in the analysis, the more it starts to look like it's clearly done in parallel with the implementation. Where do we draw the line?
Nominative determinism in hospital medicine (2015)
It's probably more than a few million deaths. It's more likely to be on the order of tens or hundreds of millions. It may have already, if you take into account the social disorder in places that were already marginal and can't afford anything that makes their lives harder.

"Tens of millions of deaths" ought to be sufficient to get people thinking in doomsday terms. It's a poor excuse for people to say, "Well, it's not going to wipe out every single man, woman, and child, so it must be ok". People end up in speaking exaggerated terms because people are exaggerating the level required for them to take it seriously.

The economic argument should also suffice, but of people are demanding extinction as a requirement for action, then no level of economic harm is going to cross that barrier. You'd think that the simple self-interest would make a difference, but it seems to me that people are putting something their ideology even over self-interest.

> And my online classes were explicitly taken online, with professors who had done online stuff before, not hastily moved online in the midst of a pandemic. Knowing how computer-averse some of my professors were, I can only imagine the transition to online was rough, and I bet I'd be scared away from online classes in college if I had to go through high school like that, even if I got a full ride.

Universities are moving into a new space by taking so much online, and people will realize that some institutions are better at this than others. MOOCs can be done well, but it is largely not those traditional institutions that will be doing that.

I'm very interested to see if some education disruptors come out of this time.
The PDF you linked cites lifetime earning data collected from the previous century. It might tell you about how things were 1950-2000. But says little about our current Internet-driven world.
That sounds far more reasonable.
I run an "internal" set of bastion hosts that are gateways into a system that runs telnet. This internal system is able to run SSH, but connections stop around 100 because of OS limits. We need to support 400-500 logins, and that has to be telnet. Everybody connecting has to go through these bastions, including VPN users.

I recently built an nspawn container with tinysshd server, with a .profile that execs telnet to the relevant system on login.

We had previously used an old version of Microfocus Reflections (terminal emulation) with stunnels deployed on all the clients and bastions. That was not containerized, but the server stunnels were set to chroot() on startup.

I recently was forced to support the latest version of Reflections, and since it doesn't support chacha-poly, I also built dropbear SSH server just for them. Reflections is very expensive (~$500/seat), and the best that it supports is aes256-ctr, using Tatu Ylonen's commercial ssh.com (which appears to be abandonware). I really hope we can get rid of that.

Basically MDMA and/or psilocybin allow you to essentially disassociate from the the emotions of the event. You're able to talk about and work through the events without also being overwhelmed by the emotions of the event.

But yeah, it's not just popping shrooms or pills and you're magically healed. It's about being in that setting with someone who can therapeutically work you through the trauma. You still need to do the work, but MDMA and/or psilocybin can greatly facilitate the process.

It's almost a way to see how much time and effort someone will spend preparing for something.
If someone spends a lot of time preparing for a job interview, it is not a stretch to think they will spend a lot of time on work assignments.

And, as someone in there 30s with two young children, I find time for interview prep easier then any other point in my life. As you get older you should get better at learning. Also, who doesn't have chores and jobs when they are in their early twenties, you should get better at managing your time as you get older.

Edit: Just skipped through the video this thread is about and that vibe just won't go away. I don't feel like I'm being informed, I feel like I'm being sold. The information itself is very, very good!

You just posted a video where the host and guest think that there will be literally no humans left on this planet. That is just wildly improbable. This is like the science-y version of the Rapture. It appeals to people into doom porn. Climate change is a huge problem, but the Earth itself will be fine. People will live but their quality of life will decrease. It is stupid to let it happen though, so best not to find out who is right.
The latest Animal Crossing is one of the clearest examples of this trend (and it doesn’t even have micro-transactions, much less NFTs!)

Previous games in the series were famously “there’s nothing to do” games. You could make money, but there were limited things you could spend it on. You could collect items and furniture, but there were limited options each day. You could pick weeds, but there wasn’t much in the way of “rewards” for that; it just made your town more pleasant. Instead of grinding, you spent most of your time just dwelling, hanging out with your neighbors, walking along the river. And then after a little while… you stopped playing the game, and did something else. In many ways, the game wouldn’t let you turn it into work.

Contrast that with the latest entry, where you now have a smartphone. On it is a bottomless todo-list of arbitrary, menial tasks. It has a little notification light whenever you get a new task. Completing a task gets you a reward, and then a new task takes its place on the list. There’s crafting in the game; you no longer have to wait for the store to refresh its items, you can grind for resources and then build whatever you want. And then because you can terraform the entire island, there’s a massive source of goals to set and then grind for.

And the thing is… most people like this game. It’s brought the most mainstream success the series has ever had, by far. And because it doesn’t have any financial aspects, we can’t call the developers exploitive, really. It’s just this (imo) toxic, demeaning direction the whole industry seems to be taking. Even series like Assassin’s Creed are now stuffed full of resources to collect, loot to hoard, “rewards” for the hundreds of grueling hours you put into mindlessly wading through wave after wave of enemies. More and more games are trading genuine play and affective experience for finely-tuned, dopamine-peddling, addiction. Because that’s what sells. The only saving grace is that the industry is growing so fast, there’s so much diversity, that there are also lots of games that don’t do this. But I worry about how the trend is affecting/will affect people’s mental health, not even getting into the financial side.

Even if you could afford the camera you still couldn't make anything like a Hollywood movie. The amount of control a film crew exerts over what they're shooting is pretty staggering to anyone who hasn't spent time in a studio or a film set. Literally everything is controlled. Everything is logged. A set has to be reset between takes, which means knowing where everything is, what settings all the cameras, lights, etc had, everyone standing on marks taped on the floor, etc. A great camera is important to any scene, but there is so much more to filming anything.

False dichotomies galore.

First of all, the "VAST MAJORITY" of human interactions are irrelevant (cashier, bank clerk, passing people on the street). Given how much time you spend with coworkers, they'd qualify as friends, or acquaintances at least.

Also, there's a large gap between "professional behaviour" and "orgies in the street" or "sexual harassment". For example, I don't mind talking about menstruation or condoms with friends (who I'm not having sex with, nor have/would I ever try) but I don't think those would be appropriate topics for most workplace situations.
