Thanks mdaniel for your observations!

I updated package.json!

On the note of the API endpoint. Yes that's correct, I've fashioned a backend API which handles converting of GitHub Repo Tokens to SAML Assertions: https://sso.saml.to/github/swagger.html#/IDP/AssumeRoleForRe...

And providing a static endpoint for SAML Metadata: https://saml.to/metadata

That being said, you're making my brain click a little bit and this could be converted into a "self contained" toy, with some additional work! The biggest piece of the puzzle is a consistent private key and certificate.

If that is of interest to you, could you create a GitHub Issue as a feature request?

Thanks!
this tool is extremely useful to have in infosec CTFs!
> In what sense are we not officially at war with Palestine?

In the literal sense. The territories that form Palestine and the West Bank today were part of Egypt and Jordan before the six-day war. Israel occupied these territories during the war, then signed peace treaties with the countries it defeated. The three Arab countries (including Syria) attempted to recapture their territories again in 1973, but failed, and peace treaties were again signed between all four countries involved.

In the meantime, people living in the territories occupied by the Israeli military forces continued their fight for freedom, as all occupied people do. They made some strides in this direction with the Oslo accords, where they gained official recognition as a separate country under their own authority.

While open hostility existed on both sides since the beginning, there has never been an official war declaration between the PLO and Israel. Both have been routinely attacking and killing civilians and destroying infrastructure in each other's country forma long time - though Israel now has a vast upper hand and the killing and destruction has become more and more one sided against the people of Palestine.

Realistically, 3D printed guns aren't a direct solution to gun control, they're an argument for loosening it because they're proof it can't achieve some of its major aims.

For the former I unfortunately cannot find a copy and I don't have the calculator any more... my hazy recollection is that it was a Panasonic printing desk calculator I bought at Staples but that could be wrong. Fwiw the newer desk calculators seem to all have pretty bad keypads so if you want a calculator that's really comfortable to use for fast totaling you might want to get a "vintage" one from when they were using mechanical key switches. Part of the reason I got rid of the one I had is because I was having issues with it not always registering keypresses when I thought it would have.

As for the slide rule, I believe it was a Pickett booklet, likely one of the ones that have fortunately been archived here: https://www.sliderulemuseum.com/SR_Library_Pickett.htm

The Asimov slide rule book is also very good and I have a copy. I believe I inherited it, along with several slide rules, from my grandfather who had been an EE at the NIST and also fastidiously kept a lot of things he had bought for grad school. One of the slide rules has "US Government Property" silkscreened on with the scales which is fairly neat, I assume DoD or someone had had a large number made on contract like they used to do with office supplies. I also have a US Government Property set of drafting tools that I use when hand-drafting sewing patterns.

Profiler flamegraphs can be a wonderful tool for understanding actual execution. It turns out that execution time is a useful proxy / reasonable approximation for code's importance to the overall application.

Bonus points for using an intrusive, explicitly annotated tracing API of some sort, which lets you capture enough parameter information to understand not just where, but what, the code is doing.
I conceptualize it as a cryptocurrency w/ single identity, a max wallet amount (10 million perhaps -the rest is taxed 100%), and a utilization score...basically where those who make more transactions and hold less in their wallet get more UBI paid into it... then there just needs to be a mechanism to make the coin 'stable' to where 1 coin is about a loaf of bread... it'd need to maybe have separate account types though and gets a little murky around how businesses accept the coin.... and how that plays into the max-limit (goal being to limit inequality..and basically have a max un-equalness, where you've essentially "won the monopoly game" and now you can go out and help others win too...).
The watch face is the classic one, the chip orientation is new to me. I like it, it's less obvious that you're randomizing something, and given how much poker players like to fidget with their chips the orientation is probably reasonably random.

Another classic is to use the suit of your cards, but that has problems with being correlated with the state of the board. It works fine preflop.

From the toy model it seems like if in addition to distance you could also get your angle to the landmark then you could get your position from a single landmark. Is that something which is practical? Knowing which angle a radio signal came from? It seems like if you had several receivers you could use the timings of when they receive a message to determine the approximate direction of the satellite in the sky. Given receivers have gotten much cheaper over time, is this a viable extra constraint to improve accuracy?

Apple Silicon has special support for running ARM code with the "Total Store Order" memory model of x86.

Sounds like a lot of "contemporary automation today" to me - automation that would often apply about as well to C code bases as well as horrifically overcomplex C++ codebases.

Also, why even draw a stark contrast between "a language" and "its tooling"? As a dev, you get to use both.

What is even the line..? Almost every compiler for anything provides options. Does gcc -fsanitize=.. not count because it's not "standardized" or only because its not activated in "typical" deployments like Rust integer overflow checks?
The main ethical issue of 'deaths due to self-driving cars' is because of who being at fault?

If the car is self-driving, and truly self driving - no steering wheel, when it causes an accident, who is at fault?

Humans make mistakes, but humans also can change their response easily to a given input. Is Tesla at fault? Do we just issue them a fine for a person's life? Should the car do its best to preserve the life inside the vehicle, or the lives outside the vehicle? Automobiles do significant damage to pedestrians in regards to their dangerous design.

Surely corporations should be held to a higher standard than people, as they're not bound by the same restrictions a single person is.
> Is this damage more then the cost of prosecuting and punishing the thieves? If not, it's not worth it.

It's not a question of whether this damage is more, it's a question of whether the prosecution would reduce the total amount of future-damage that occurs as well. People who are in a jail are not stealing. People who expect significant risk of significant jail time are also not stealing, while those who expect minimal risk might be.

These factors easily outweigh the cost of any single theft.
This doesn't quite make sense to me. Sending your Resume in .docx is kind of a terrible idea, and I've seen countless people running mainstream Windows version getting bitten by this. On top this, in my experience it's *much* easier for me as an interviewer to review your resume in PDF rather than docx (even if I have access to MS Word or Google Docs). I have never seen any company or recruiter (in the US) who prefers docx but I've seen multiple companies (including my own) that prefer PDF.

So, someone going out of their way to type their resume in wine word, only for it to be a scrambled mess... I would strongly recommend you not to do this. If you're emailing your resume and you absolutely want to go ahead with your plan, please consider adding both the pdf and docx. Good luck!

I'm a middle-aged adult now, but as a child I had mild autistic traits. Socio-economics, along with 1980's medicine, meant it was never picked up. I wonder if selection methods based entirely around childhood diagnosis may miss certain sub-groups.

Author, what about the so-called 'savant' type of autistic person? Or even the anecdotal 'high functioning, high IQ' sub-group? Did your study find any evidence of these?

It took until well into my 30's before my autistic traits heavily impacted my life. Looking back, I realised there had been a gradual snowball effect of oppressive environmental factors, incrementally pushing me further and further into "an autistic corner" - starting from that initial seed of childhood traits, but with the outcomes seeming as much developmental as genetic.

Which, as an aside, seems to revolve as much around how other people (the world at large) treat the individual, as around factors internal to the autistic person themselves.
That's how I see it too.

Determinism for human action is very popular among science enthusiasts because we've decided that determinism elsewhere in science is true, and since our brains is part of the universe then it must also be deterministic.

But we only perceive determinism insofar as we only measure what we're able to measure. Then you arrive at quantum probabilities, and it seems to me the multiverse theory is as scientific as believing quantum particles have free will.

What's the reasoning behind this? I'm skeptical of these "public-private partnerships". Just yesterday at the World Economic Forum, Tony Fauci (next to his colleague Xi Jinping) complained that more needs to be done to combat "disinformation" about vaccines. The big problem is that Facebook considers sharing pre-prints of research into vaccine side-effects and efficacy, which haven't received the CDC's "blessing" are considered misinformation or disinformation and are removed. It's quite troubling to me to see independent scholars silenced for examining connections between vaccine shilling, record pharma profits, and continuing lockdowns on highly vaccinated cities/countries.

tl;dr: Weird shit is happening and these organizations want to limit debate about weird shit.

Exactly. We have no evidence of long-term effects, and are trusting the same people who told us a year ago that vaccines provide protection to tell us they're safe. It's asinine.
Wrong. Here's a hypothetical scenario:

> UP implies they believe there have been zero prosecutions

Under the California Victim's Bill of Rights they have a right to information on this on request (but they don't have to be provided with it proactively), so if they merely “believe” this but can point to neither concrete information or a failure to respond to inquiries, it means they have chosen not to ask to avoid their belief being proven wrong.

But, anyway, they don't say that, so its immaterial: they specifically acknowledge prosecutions and convictions, they are just upset that the DA is taking plea deals to charges they feel are insufficiently serious rather than expending more resources seeking convictions (and risking acquittals) on more serious charges.

(They also specifically are validating the argument of anti-cash-bail advocates by portraying cash bail as a punitive and disabling measure against unconvicted suspects rather than a means of securing appearance.)

I really think many people don't pay enough attention to insulating homes they think solar panels, heat pumps etc.. But don't think of why the house is too hot or too cold. It's all just moving energy around cold is absence of heat but you hear of people say "cold is coming in" really it's heat escaping.

I'm going to try my hand at insulation my parent's home. Dad died last year he built the house and everything in it and on it. He was sick for 15 years so maintenance was difficult.

I'm looking at Rockwool for the attic most heat is lost through the roof. The pull down stairs are terrible for heat loss. Heat bridging is also what I want to tackle too I'll cover joists perpendicularly.

Stuffing the attic with insulation is easier than solar or a heat pump. For now.

Er, most of them are conservative if anything. The Meteor for example is advertised with a 60km nez, against a mach 2.5 plane starting from a tail chase. It's fairly easy to calculate that the pure kinematic maximum range against a stationary target will have to be way higher than 200km. R77m has been claimed to be similar, and while there might be some exaggeration there, it's not that hard to believe given that it's a ramjet missile that's quite large.
The app doesn't need the cloud for bluetooth usage or basic wifi usage (though "out of your house" usage likely uses their relay service). You would no longer get "recipe of the week" stuff, but that is a small loss.

On one hand this could theoretically work if the optimizer tracks historical SQLs + the query plans used at that time + their runtime and decides to try to use a different query plan, then aborts the SQL being executed when its runtime exceeds the historical runtime. But in practice it's likely to mess things up because data volume/distribution/machine load (CPU, disks, etc) might differ compared to the past etc... .

On the other hand, in general there are often too many postential combinations of query plans to try out (hundreds even for a relatively simple SQL) and trying them all out would need hours/days/etc... . The "good plan" might be something that a machine might categorize as "very unlikely to work" so it might end up being the one tested automatically at the very end.

Normal hints would still be a lot easier to handle in the code and for the user.

If the vast majority quit their jobs to take UBI instead, the wage to UBI ratio would go up, since employers would have to pay more to attract the workers that have alternatives. So some of the people would be lured back to the job market because of increased wages. The job market would find a new equilibrium (with wages likely higher than they are now). Prices would also go up, but likely not enough to completely offset the UBI (since velocity of money will increase - we're redistributing wealth from those with low propensity to spend to those with a higher propensity).

Basically, what we had during the pandemic was a mini-UBI experiment (even though it was not universal). Wages at the low end went up - exactly what you would want to see under a successful UBI program (because of giving people alternatives). Unfortunately, we funded this one via deficits (hence why the rich also got richer). If it was funded via a tax, we'd see the lower end wages increase, and the upper middle/upper class get squeezed a bit (which is completely intentional).

The last effect would likely trigger a voting backlash (since upper-middle/upper class folks have lots of voting power), but it's still UBI working as intended

Here's a recent paper from DeepMind about their recent efforts towards generalized game solving (caveat: I haven't actually read it yet).

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2112.03178.pdf

Abstract:

"Games have a long history of serving as a benchmark for progress in artificial intelligence.
Recently, approaches using search and learning have shown strong performance across a set
of perfect information games, and approaches using game-theoretic reasoning and learning
have shown strong performance for specific imperfect information poker variants. We introduce Player of Games, a general-purpose algorithm that unifies previous approaches, combining
guided search, self-play learning, and game-theoretic reasoning. Player of Games is the first
algorithm to achieve strong empirical performance in large perfect and imperfect information
games — an important step towards truly general algorithms for arbitrary environments. We
prove that Player of Games is sound, converging to perfect play as available computation time
and approximation capacity increases. Player of Games reaches strong performance in chess
and Go, beats the strongest openly available agent in heads-up no-limit Texas hold’em poker
(Slumbot), and defeats the state-of-the-art agent in Scotland Yard, an imperfect information
game that illustrates the value of guided search, learning, and game-theoretic reasoning"
