Examine the request

post api.ctl.io/v2/authentication/login < 1.txt

POST the request

post api.ctl.io/v2/authentication/login < 1.txt|nc -vvn 127.1 80

Alternatively, data to be posted can be read from stdin

echo '{ "username": "YOUR.USERNAME", "password": "YOUR.PASSWORD" }' \
|post api.ctl.io/v2/authentication/login \
|nc -vvn 127.1 80

If the data to be posed is JSON formatted as multiple lines such as

{
"username": "YOUR.USERNAME",
"password": "YOUR.PASSWORD"
}

then

(tr -d '\12' < 1.txt;echo) \
|post api.ctl.io/v2/authentication/login \

Probably not - that kind of setup gets seen through by judges all the time.

The phrase you’re looking for is ‘criminal conspiracy’
I'd make it more generic and relevant to everyone... a home bathroom, a kids bedroom, a psychiatrists office, all the places where every day people expect privacy.
No doubt he built a sensational business focused on cash flows. A lot of the software companies generate significant cash flows because they start to collect multi-year upfront payments for their software. Some of them call them remaining purchases obligations which you can find in the 10ks and annual reports. But the market broadly doesn't look at this today. Maybe at some point in the future though
Another TLDR would be;

ASDF-stable is good enough that there isn't an incentive to update to a version of ASDF-devel that breaks backward compatibility.
Free tier of CloudFlare Pages/functions runs the app at the edge by default. For Fly.io, this scaling has to be manually configured for both the app and the DB. Are there any plans to offer it by default for the free tier? It is hard to evaluate the benefits of having the data center near the end user when it is not offered out of the box, especially since all the Fly.io blog posts talk about how great their service is for HTML-over-the-wire UIs like Phoenix live view and Rails Hotwire.
Are we still waiting to discover problems which are more adequate to be solved using quantum computers than classic computers?
With tools like alass[1] (using it to synchronise against the original language subtitles) it is about as close to solved you can get.

All of the attempts I've seen of using audio information to synchronise subtitles have been awful. One issue is that some languages subtitle everything, even screams and incoherent shouts (such as Japanese) while others only subtitle dialogue and often rework dialogue for the purposes of making the subtitles short enough to be readable easily. It feels like you need too much domain knowledge to know how different languages subtitle things and that subtitles that match the general meaning of what is being said should be matched up.

Because I could be talking about something that gets me in trouble, depending on where I am. There are plenty of things that are reasonable to discuss with friends, but not not reasonable to be made public. There is no such thing as a person with nothing to hide; only those that don't know what they need to hide.

And that's ignoring the fact that these entities pushing to ban e2e encryption on chat programs include many of the same ones that pushed to ban secure encryption all together, outside of their own uses, of course. So, if they get this, it's just one step on the way to ban secure encryption everywhere, which would be catastrophic.
I noticed it's "Last update: Aug 28, 2003".
So what is the point here?
I agree. It's not there. In fact, we've seen something like five of these corrections in the last 10 years. https://www.tomtunguz.com/five-corrections-saas/
> Because everyone who seriously invests money in businesses

You're right, so let's follow the money...

I regularly work with investors who acquire businesses (AUMs are typically ~$1B, I guess that is serious enough?).

> knows that there’s a performance hit you take as a remote company.

- I don't know a single one who deliberately has said "there is a performance hit if they are remote, we should switch to in office to increase performance".

- I know of no industry study that is able to quantify this.

- "People haven’t been paying for offices for the last ten years for no reason." People have also have been enforcing 40 hour weeks and argue open offices are better for performance. We still haven't agreed either of these are true. Thus, this is a poor argument.

I actually don't have any concrete evidence for one way or the other, but I do know there isn't unequivocal evidence that confirms your statement to be true.
Yes. Seems like Subaru got lucky and Ford didn't.
> They've done that in 2020, and if they are willing to do that again, are they not heroes, risking their own lives to save others? Well, suddenly they are now pariahs instead of heroes, and must be fired and ridiclued.

If you treat a gunshot victim with napkins from McDonalds because it's the only thing you have, that's great. If a year later you've got better options and you're still using the napkins, you're an asshole.

It was brave of folks to work in healthcare before we had the vaccine, knowing that there was a very good chance they'd get sick and that there wasn't much they could do to prevent it. It is stupid to take that risk now, when there is something they can do.

"I'm not taking the vaccine because there isn't one" and "I'm not taking the vaccine despite there being one" aren't comparable, and it's weird to pretend they are.
>This is the whole reason we can't got back to normal tomorrow

Nah.

If you want to disengage from society based on your personal risk preferences, you should be free to do so. At this point, two years after this started, I should be free to reengage in my normal activities (the gym, catching the game with the guys on the weekend, taking my wife to a show).

>When I look around at the faculty in my school district, I see a whole lot of comorbidities, and those are just the visible ones.

And these policies are going to make those comorbidities worse, not better. Everyone is less healthy today than they were 2 years ago when this started because we're sitting in front of a screen all day. This includes children. Headline from 2034: Obesity and Type 1 diabetes are at an all-time high. Were school lockdowns during the 2020-2024 pandemic the cause?

>This is leading to a teacher shortage

Where? In places that are locked down? These policies are causing that, and it's actually exacerbating education gaps for underrepresented minorities or socioeconomically disadvantaged folks who can't afford a private school that doesn't do this stuff.

>So if you really, truly want to open schools for the sake of children, figure out a way to do so that makes teachers feel safe to teach, or start teaching yourself.

My wife and I will likely be homeschooling, for a number of reasons, but one of them is that we'd like our children to not be held hostage to a cultural moment that wants to turn covid policies into the next 9/11. Permanent societal change for little if any tangible benefit.
On the other hand, if you don't go solder things and remove the duct tape from time to time, you will always come closer to a disaster, never further away.

Some projects are run like the Doomsday Clock, and nobody can get anything done. Other ones increase and decrease on complexity all the time, and those tend to catch-up to the first set quite quickly.
He lived till 98. At some age cut-off point, shouldn't we be thankful that he lived so long?.

If you consider the first 25 as useless/building stage of life and the next 35 as contributing/productive part. This man lived another 38 years after that (an entire new useful life span for an average human).
I Don’t Understand Singapore’s Blood Supply Fluctuations
It's not unreasonable to equate the two. The necessity of driving in western cities is very much a design choice that could reasonably be considered to be a public health crisis. It's not an inherent property of the world.
> antigen tests are the safest way to reduce spread

Probably true, but untenable logistically or politically. I'm personally against any kind of constant testing regime as well. The vaccine pass, even if demonstrably pointless for infection control, is basically throwing a bone to the hystericals that otherwise would be demanding some other kind of ceremony to allay their fear. I disagree with vaccine passports as well, and I think its time to bring back personal responsibility, which seems to work fine in the jurisdictions that have adopted it

Rich McGugan (author of Rich) talks about a lot of different design aspects of Rich on an episode of Talk Python [0] last October. I've used it in a few projects since then and for what I've been using it for the output is still easily consumable. Rich is a game changer for output in Python and it pairs nicely with CLI libs like Click. McGugan also is putting a lot of effort into Textual [1] which is fantastic for TUI apps.

If FTL were possible, don’t you think there’d already be evidence of the time travel? First thing I’d do with FTL is travel back to the earliest habitable epoch in the Universe and start building galaxy-sized Dyson spheres.
I don't know about other cities, but in Halifax the new architecture is pleasant, to my eyes at least. A lot of the properties have a mix of brick and glass which isn't too showy but still looks distinctive when compared with the older buildings. See this:

Cox had unrivaled breadth across the statistical books that he authored, and I'm far from an expert on his catalog, but I have read three and they are excellent.

- Theory of Design of Experiments is an excellent and non-technical book on experimentation and data collection. Still important in an era of big data!

- Analysis of Survival Data is the book on the Cox model. It is quite technical. I own this book for historical reasons, and I'm glad I read it, but I now recommend Therneau for serious survival statistics.

- Theoretical Statistics w/ Hinkley is still a great mathematical statistics book. Excellent math-stats books are uncommon now, and Cox was a master.

Cox also wrote a few books on stochastic processes that are well regarded, but I'm unfamiliar.

I most recently read Celebrating Statistics: Papers in honour of Sir David Cox on his 80th birthday which is a very thoughtful collection.
Do you know if they teach that it causes cancer too?
It does lose you time, yes, but there's lots of other factors in a person's life like level of stress, air pollution, etc. that have similar or worse impact. Alcohol intake is at least somewhat more controllable than those factors, so it can be up to you whether that lost expectency matters.
So another Python 2 vs 3 situation?
I don't get this because we have some of the most innovative and valuable projects (such as Linux) that have achieved their success through remote work. The problem isn't remote, the problem is corporate culture not adapting to it.
Warnings breaking builds is something you should opt in to with the knowledge that warnings are not part of the fixed public API of the thing you're building against/using as a dependency.

That's the whole point of warnings in the first place - they're a way to communicate that people might be doing something wrong, without hard failing their builds. Otherwise what would be the difference between a warning and an error?

Likewise, opting in to warnings as failures in your build system is a perfectly reasonable decision if you want to be strict about quality, and catch potential issues early. But the fix for a warning you don't want to treat as a warning is to just suppress it somehow (or fix it anyway if it isn't a complete false positive), not demand the maintainer remove it.

(Note I'm just replying to the context of your TLDR, not the whole situation, which I haven't read through yet.)
How do you balance that against the performance hit of working on-prem?

You can't just hand-wave away the unpaid labor and risk to your life that you undertake with every trip to and from the office. You can't ignore the drive-by conversations you get roped into when you're trying to do head-down work or the overall noise in an office. Yes, in ideal conditions your office might approach what you get working at home, but I've never experienced it, especially given that open plan offices are now an unquestioned default setting.
I remember when cellphones came out and the problems we had when a phone would go into a zone where it was halfway between towers.

The technicals do make things more complex but these are solvable problems that different developers will attack in different ways.
> Accuracy, reproducibility, scalability, systemic integrity, and similar concerns often weren't a factor.

Kind of funny, then, that banking was also the origin of the CQRS/ES paradigm.

The systems thinking is there — just not evenly distributed.

I've been wondering if my employer will eventually need to abandon its 5-tier city cost-of-living scale. For the same exact job titles and functions, those of us living in rural areas are paid up to 12% less than people living in cities.

I agree that cities have a higher cost of living, but the people trying to pull me away from my current employer into new remote work don't seem to need to make that distinction!
How much: it was really low, and easier to get it in practice compared with ST's STM32L chips. I wonder if ST's new U series is using some kind of sub-threshold logic, but I assume Ambiq has the patents..

That is a very pessimistic way to view and discredit someone else's great achievement. I can definitely say that at least in Belgium, it is very possible to do this as a middle class family. Also to note that there are still sponsors who do help out as well.

Focusing on the important part again, hugely proud to see Belgium represented like this and to see the ambition of Zara.
Please post a youtube link you feel is representative of your point. I've been generous providing links supporting my findings. Your turn!

But hey, let's look at the first on your list, Beyonce:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pPe7sxMVAY

Autotuned all the way. It sounds sweetened, as her tone changes from song to song. It sounds "adjusted" in a way I never hear from older songs. This is apparent around the 48 minute mark. Sometimes she pushes too hard and it sounds a bit screechy.

I saw (and heard!) A Star Is Born. I was so impressed by her singing, I rushed out and didn't buy the soundtrack, and can't recall anything she sung. Oh well. Julie Andrews she ain't.

Julie Andrews is probably the greatest female singer that ever existed. (Well, Marni Nixon who was so good she secretly dubbed the other stars deserves accolades!)

There's still room for innovation in rapid-fire, affordable mitigations for extreme weather. Like levee-in-a-box, bridge-in-a-box, deployable temporary sea walls, etc. Also room to innovate in techniques for detecting and mitigating vulnerable conditions, e.g. land slide risks.
What does a ban on encryption even look like? If they see unidentifiable traffic in your ISP logs you're illegally using encryption? What would be allowed and what wouldn't? Is devising a code with the recipient in the real-world and using that in a messaging tool considered E2EE and therefore banned? Do both endpoints have to be in the UK to be covered by this law?

I can't get my head round how they think this could be implemented without insane amounts of money and a rule book like war and peace.
Chris Masterjohn theorizes that alcohol can have a beneficial hormetic effect by antagonizing vitamin A and the body adapting to supply more vitamin A. However, he theorizes the maximum beneficial dosage is about 2/3 of a single drink.

I think organizations should be free to shape their own culture, and candidates can chose where they wish to work as well. Maybe the remote/in-person ratio will skew towards remote in the future, but there is no need to deny others' preferences as well. Remote work isn't a "right". There isn't one way of doing things that works in every situation in every industry in every country/culture. People are different, some are more social, some are less, etc, etc. Personally, I enjoy working with others, I love the little personal interactions in the hallway especially with people who I don't regularly work with, and it furthers bonding in our organization. But we're a vaccine company so there is literally no way for us to be remote anyway.
How could they have been electronically manipulated if these singing competitions are done live without mixing or autotune? We're talking about talent tested under the most raw conditions. You haven't even bothered to provide any evidence to the contrary.

It is absolutely insane to claim that there are no prominent modern artists with singing abilities comparable to those in the past. Just trivially disprovable. If we were to go beyond the domain of winner of song competitions, there are plenty of acoustic or live performances from other pop superstars that demonstrate singing capability.
Quantum mechanics _fixed_ physics. Newtonian physics predicts that an electron will spiral into the nucleus of an atom within a few nanoseconds of the atom’s creation.
Principles of Applied Statistics
by D. R. Cox and Christl A. Donnelly

From Cosma Shalizi's review [0]:

> D. R. Cox published his first major book, Planning of Experiments, in 1958; he has been making major contributions to the theory and practice of statistics for as long as most current statisticians have been alive. He is now in a reflective phase of his career, and this book, coauthored with the distinguished biostatistician Christl A. Donnelly, is a valuable distillation of his experience of applied work. It stands as a summary of an entire tradition of using statistics to address scientific problems.

I don't understand what's going on in Google's mobile division. Android 12 is filled with bugs that aren't fixed months after release. The Pixel 6 came with a terrible fingerprint scanner. They released a completely botched update for the Pixel 6 that broke basic cellular connectivity, and it took more than a month for a fix. Feels like this part of the business isn't a priority for them anymore.
Great question. Believe me, I too want a non-Apple, non-Google solution. Ideally, we'd figure out a way to support a true "public commons" for phone apps, one that also supports an ecosystem of trust/reputation based "security validators/assessors" that provide independent assessments of apps on the public commons. People would be free to ignore these assessments. Or something.

To be honest, I have been recently looking at trying out an Android phone that supports Lineage, but the 2FA issue would be a deal breaker. Is it just some 2FA, or most/all?
Fyi - The image under your Aaron Francis quote is broken.

CPI hasn't been above 7 percent since 1980... How could you even run that regression?
Every day when I pass through the lobby of my apartment building, I think about the fact that our lettermail gets locked up tight in individually-keyed mailboxes, but — due to our building not being "large enough to qualify" for a parcel dropbox — large high-value parcels instead just get left lying on the lobby floor beside the mailboxes, with the matter of not stealing other people's parcels left entirely up to the honor system. (And yes, this is the same lobby that arbitrary guests will walk through to the elevator if buzzed in by any tenant who hears the word "Amazon" muttered vaguely through their phone.)

Of course, the locks of those individually-keyed mailboxes are also probably rakeable or bumpable or some other two-second attack. But at least that deters people who never bothered to look into how locks work.
