> If Google thinks something is suspicious, it will decline your 2FA codes and recovery attempts—it will just tell you that you entered the wrong code.

Seriously! What! The! Hell!

I too have thought before that having 2FA (and linking a phone number, which I hate to do) would avoid tripping in such situations and that the systems would consider a different situation (like a different IP address/location, a different browser) as reliable enough with 2FA. But this irks me a lot.

I don’t really use Gmail much and have other paid alternatives, but I have some old stuff that may be mildly inconvenient if I were to lose them. Need to download the data and dump these accounts.
I was writing up some notes for a mentoring thing on AJAX as in Asynchronous JavaScript And XML, and got caught up reading about Ajax instead. I thought it was interesting, and the naming of the web technology has to be somewhat intentional.

Does anyone happen to know the history of the naming? Was it meant to be a bit of a joke?
I've been a Professional Config File Wrangler for two decades, and I can tell you that it's always nicer to have a config file that's built to task rather than being forced to tie yourself into knots when somebody didn't want to write a parser.

The difference between a data format and a configuration file is the use case. JSON and YAML were invented to serialize data. They only make sense if they're only ever written programmatically and expressing very specific data, as they're full of features specific to loading and transforming data types, and aren't designed to make it easy for humans to express application-specific logic. Editing them by hand is like walking a gauntlet blindfolded, and then there's the implementation differences due to all the subtle complexity.

Apache, Nginx, X11, RPM, SSHD, Terraform, and other programs have configuration files designed by humans for humans. They make it easy to accomplish tasks specific to those programs. You wouldn't use an INI file to configure Apache, and you wouldn't use an Apache config to build an RPM package. Terraform may need a ton of custom logic and functions, but X11 doesn't (Terraform actually has 2 configuration formats and a data serialization format, and Packer HCL is different than Terraform HCL). Config formats minimize footguns by being intuitive, matching application use case, and avoiding problematic syntax (if designed well). And you'd never use any of them to serialize data. Their design makes the programs more or less complex; they can avoid complexity by supporting totally random syntax for one weird edge case. Design decisions are just as important in keeping complexity down as in keeping good UX.

Somebody could take an inventory of every configuration format in existence, matrix their properties, come up with a couple categories of config files, and then plop down 3 or 4 standards. My guess is there's multiple levels of configuration complexity (INI -> "Unixy" (sudoers, logrotate) -> Apache -> HCL) depending on the app's uses. But that's a lot of work, and I'm not volunteering...
All regulation is ostensibly about the government stepping in and "cleaning up" private behavior that is detrimental to society. Bailouts fit that description too, so they're very similar if not in name.

The government stepped in and decided that it would not let a company fail as "the market decided" it should, but instead it should change that outcome and spend money to keep these failed companies running. This is certainly not a case of the market running itself.

Ignoring the massive regulations on banks and inter dependency between banking and fiscal and economic policy for a minute, you might say "oh but the market did run itself and these banks crashed and it would have been bad for society if that were to happen so the government had to step in". But that's how all regulation is justified.

I think that's where the other comments are coming from anyway. But I'm not sure it's entirely fair, because I think it's not unreasonable to say some amount of regulation makes sense to prevent problems that would require more invasive and costly regulation or intervention later.

In other words, heap big regulation bad not mean little regulation bad.
I have a 80+ old father. The security controls Google has put in place, I much appreciate them because he keeps a fairly simple password (but not one that is susceptible to dictionary attacks) and he cannot remember multiple passwords. I have tried using a password manager for him but he finds them too complicated.
While I understand the pain this causes, any changes should accommodate the security and convenience of the older demographic.
I "pushed through" a cold once with exercise and got a severe chest infection. No shame in taking some rest days to get back in good form. Exercise is generally most effective when you're feeling fit, I don't see why covid would be different.

Lots of redditors saying go to HR. That is a bad idea. Your company's DEI initiatives probably originated in the HR department. Or they originated higher up, and HR was tapped to implement. Either way HR is not your ally.
I’ve been using Python for 15 years, and while sometimes it’s a good fit for “write the fast parts in C!” type workloads, these seem to be very rare. Most of the time you spend more time marshaling back and forth between Python data structures and C data structures and you end up losing more performance (and maintainability and build system complexity and so on). If you have an application that might ever have a hot path, I heartily do not recommend python.
Not all pop is created equal. If you want a substantiative discussion about music, you need to go beyond facile comparisons. Genres are immense and myriad, especially in the modern day. Just because pop means popular doesn't mean it's within the genre of pop- most of the aforementioned songs are closer to moody R&B!

There are probably better, higher-energy, modern songs to compare with "Jump." Here are #19 and #20 in the current top 40.

But again, because rock has ceased to be the influential force it used to be, comparisons are going to be very imprecise. And Top 40 itself is a snapshot, not necessarily the best an era has to offer. For reference, here are some pop songs in the past couple years that have been bigger hits both in terms of the charts and the critics:

Those are cool but they are still using just ANSI color codes and what not. I think it is great but not ideal or optimized than if terminals would implement a native markdown or markup renderer.
Maybe calculus can be taught better, but this article has a political agenda:

"However, the issue is not merely correction of history: the adoption of the decolonised calculus involves overturning deep-seated racist and colonial prejudices. These prejudices are not even easily recognizable as racist since they involve a false history and a bad philosophy of mathematics which was used to assert racist, colonial, and Western civilizational and intellectual superiority. Specifically, racism was bolstered by the belief that Whites/West invented a “superior” kind of mathematics."

About Ansible, I think it gained it's success partially due to YAML.

Ansible is worse than Puppet and CFEngine in many ways, but it is superior in the user interface.

It managed to not only be a config management solution, but provide a universal config language that most apps could be configured with. So for a lot of use cases, if you know Anisible/YAML then you don't have to learn a new configuration language on top of learning a new application.
I used the combined solution and valid word list when I was playing around with a program to find good starting words. Feels too much like cheating otherwise.

What do you mean "takes over"? You can always open another tab inside your terminal. You can use tmux to open multiple panes inside the same tab.

That may be true but at least TUI apps can be truly platform and DE independent, unlike GUI apps coming out from GTK4 where every non-trivial GTK4 app in existence is a libadwaita app. Qt apps are buggy on Wayland right now. In such a scenario, anything that runs on a terminal is a welcome addition for me. I'm done with GUI apps, except my web browser.

I wouldn't call those dependent types, exactly, because it's still happening entirely at the type level. The defining characteristic of dependent type systems is that they allow mixing of type-level and value-level expressions. To use the classic example of appending one vector to another, Idris lets us express the type:

app : Vect n a -> Vect m a -> Vect (n + m) a

where we're using the value-level addition operator to express the type of the result; specifically, that appending a Vect of length m to a Vect of length n will give a Vect of length (n + m). [1]

I am a bit confused by the claims of theft of the calculus in this article. I also don't really follow any of the thoughts on how the Newton could not have used the calculus because he did not know about the real numbers, or how the Indian calculus was based on polynomials. If anyone could enlighten me more, I would be very glad.

> “Access to potential mates” sounds overly reductive but having some friends makes one a more attractive and interesting person in general.

this makes me think of that fact "the average person's (sex) partner has had more partners"

Maybe it holds true for friends. the average person's friend has more friends. Although friendships are different than a count of sex. partners. you can only have so many on going friendships. If it's true then the ratio is probably lower.

> It is allowed to do this but it won't.

It is very possible for a non-malicious compiler to end up eliminating this code as dead.

That's the biggest risk. I only mentioned "delete my files" to demonstrate how big the gap in the spec is, because you were saying the spec is already "doing what I want", which happens long before we get to what compilers will or won't do.
I think it’s a pretty fair indication of the situation that it looks like their flagship app didn’t use this functionality.

Actually, on reflection I’m inclined to reckon lipgloss.AdaptiveColor an actively harmful API design direction, because it makes doing the right thing harder (scattered, inconsistent definitions) and encourages doing the wrong thing.

A vastly more robust approach is to shape your app around themes/palettes, and then allow the terminal’s colours to influence the default palette. Much like the traditional HTML/CSS approach: don’t use style="color:red;font-weight:bold", but rather class="error" and load in a stylesheet that says .error{color:red;font-weight:bold}.

Such an approach is also, incidentally, more flexible and user-pleasing because it necessarily allows more than two themes, allowing users to choose their own palette if they’re not happy with your default—though how that’s exposed is a distinct matter, especially as to whether ad-hoc themes can be created.

lipgloss looks to support some useful fundamentals for such a theme-based approach (styles, even with inheritance), but not to have built a palette abstraction on it, or adaptive palette selection, which is what you really need.

TOML is good for config, but not for data exchange though. (Why would I need comments in a data exchange format? Comments are useful when you want to annotate some sample data for other developers who will consume or generate that data.)

If you're going to quote the trolley problem at me, you need to explain to me the benefit of the vaccine for this age group. Risk of the virus for this age group is tiny. The primary rationale for vaccinating children originally was to prevent them from spreading the virus. With the new variants, this rationale has disappeared. It is now a private health decision, not a public health one.

I really dislike these public health studies where they wave their hands at myocarditis and treat it like it's not a big deal. There's no cardiologist that would tell you that. It's very serious and carries with it a dramatically elevated risk of lifelong cardiac problems down the road.

I will not allow the paranoia of a bunch of self-righteous cowards to put my kids at risk. Get the shot, move on with your life and leave the rest of us alone. We aren't responsible for soothing your paranoia anymore. The virus is now endemic courtesy of a lab in China funded by self-righteous arrogant scientists in the US. That's a controversial statement but it's the truth. Unfortunately, most of the people complaining about my kids not being vaccinated would rather be angry at me than angry at the people who unleashed this virus on the world.

I never heard about Mathematica being used to solve large-scale MIPs. The best solvers in the market are very difficult to beat, since this is such a unique market with very specialized domain knowledge. So, while I guess it is possible to solve small to medium sized problems with Mathematica, I don't believe they're able to compete with some of the best solvers like Gurobi.
I don't think NLP is the problem here. Even if you crack NLP perfectly and would somehow be able to build a semantic map, or whatever your technology would use, of the user request with perfect fidelity, there's still the question of actually understanding what it's about. Perfect NLP would help in very limited number of situation where the meaning is clear - i.e. doing some pre-defined action, like closing an account or telling the balance. But somebody comes with a request like "my dog ate my credit card, so I by mistake used my debit one and it resulted in overdraft and penalty change, can I have that reversed and get a new one?" and I'm pretty sure chatbot won't be able to handle it, NLP or not.

From my experience, as a non-Apple user, they are the absolute worst. I bought a family member an iPad for Christmas. They had an Apple account associated with their iPhone. They forgot their password. No big deal, I'll just reset their password.

Ha! We have to wait 24 hours after wrestling through the page, I leave my holiday visit in 36 hours, that's fine we have time I say to myself. A little odd but whatever, the account itself has no payment or important data associated with it really. 24 hours pass and the recovery page then suggests 14 days for recovery. What?!?! Why!?! (I mean, I get why, sort of, but I've done highly secure work that has less/shorter security processes than a consumer phone account). Apple says there's nothing they can do.

That's fine, well just create a new email and account for them I say to myself for their iPad annoying and yet another account for them to remember, lose the password, and deal with but whatever. Ok new email, new Apple account, sign in and perfect. Now I just need to disassociate the phone with the account its locked out of and switch it to the new Apple account to make syncing things a bit easier between devices. Wait, I can't do this until I recover the account to sign in to then log out of in the device. Wow. Again, I understand the security model here, but wow, a consumer device? Insanity.
