Genuinely curious, who here would want this as an authentication method for a service you use and why?

I've seen a couple companies doing this and I just don't get it.
I've been working on a more general framework. Its not public, but I'm happy to chat with anyone who has a specific interest. At present it consists of the following elements:
* Language specification - code is stored as json.
* Compiler with an interpreter, Javascript, Typescript and Rust backends.
* Editor - not quite the classic style node editor. Our new design fixes a lot of the problems and complaints with the old style node editors, particularly information density and spaghetti layout.
* Language Server - provides type hints, etc to the editor.
* VSCode extension - integrates the editor and compilier into VSC.

Also of note, the language is statically typed, with generics. It handles loops, branches, and functions are first class. Recursion is not supported at present.

In time we also plan to build a LLVM backend, so an intermediate language won't be required. Currently the compiler is written in TS, but as it matures more we intend to make the language compile itself.

If you want to talk, seek me out (I work for Northrop Grumman Australia).
Harbor Freight also has lifetime warranties on many of their products.
I'd be interested to know if that's the case, as it'd present a shift from their long-held strategy of having the comment downvote button do absolutely nothing.
I stopped using canary addresses named after the companies they are for. I just pick a random but realistic looking name and put it in keypass and the mail server. Some companies have started fighting canaries by calling it fraud which it is not. Fraud would be if I had their name in my domain name, not the email address. Why dont they like canaries? It is super easy to tell if they are cross-selling or cross-marketing to you and they don't like it. The most defiant offender I ran into was surprisingly The Tractor Supply Company. The online part of their business has some funny stuff going on. I also ran into this with discord and best buy.

For what it's worth, Roam team has just recently added end-to-end encryption option for graphs.

I'm a Roam user, although I've tried Obsidian, Bear, Zettlr and vimwiki. I keep coming back to Roam because I find thinking in blocks suits me better than thinking in documents.
> So you’re 3 miles from a supercharger with 15% battery left and your car is a frozen brick in under an hour. You can’t deliver more fuel to it and your efficient route plan is a liability and there’s a queue of bricked EVs waiting for flatbed recovery.

There are a few things to consider.

First up, if you want to optimize for energy efficiency then the best option in an EV is to carry a blanket and rely on the seat heaters as much as possible.

Consider this scenario with a long range model 3. 80kwh, 15% means you have 12kWh available (Let's drop that to 8 due to cold weather). The seat heater consumes 500W at low power. That gives you 16/people hours of heat.

But let's say you just run the HVAC straight. You've still got 1 hour of heat (assuming it's using the 6kw restive heater. More if you are using the heat pump).

In any event, the approach to "I'm in an EV and stuck in traffic" is exactly the same as if you were in an ICE with low fuel. Shut things off. Wait until you are freezing, turn it on again. Ration your fuel/energy until you are unstuck.

To get to your charging destination in this scenario, you need roughly .9kwh of energy (300wh / mile, which is on the high end) or about 2% of your battery.
I have a 93 Miata and I love those kinds of things about it. Even the odometer is mechanical. I love how real and direct cars from that era feel. In contrast, I’m always discouraged when for example I try to figure out how to even make the radio work in my girlfriend’s 2017 Odyssey.
Perfect! That'll do. Thanks.
Where does it say that the accused was a left-wing activist? If we find out he is registered as a republican does it mean it was set by a right-wing activist?
"This is noticeable in many other consumer goods verticals, e.g. good luck researching decent home gym equipment that is durable and not overpriced with fat margins."

I agree with you but there's a simple shortcut you can employ: purchase commercial/industrial models that you see being used in industry.

Gym equipment is a good example: your local, serious weightlifting gym is probably using Hammer Strength plate-loaded machines and Rogue frames/racks.

Cooking: Look in the commercial kitchen of a high end restaurant - that's where I first saw my commercial microwave being used.[1]

TV: NEC P461 commercial display - I found the model number by climbing behind the arrivals/departures board at the airport.

It's not looking like Destiny 3 is ever going to happen. There was even an interview from March of last year where a director said that they think Destiny 3 would be a mistake.

And on top of that, they've laid out Destiny 2's roadmap until roughly 2024, and say that that's not the end then either.

We'll see!
Ads are such a strange cancer on the internet. So ugly, so without value, such a waste of time, such a sinkhole of precious attention.

And yet -- would the modern internet even exist but for ads? I'm not so sure.

It seems there is a bifurcation, even among those of us with the technical know-how and resources to live ad-free lives: those who tolerate ads, and those who do not.

I count myself in the latter group. I will be happiest if I go the rest of my life and never see another ad, in any form, again. I will go to great lengths and expense to avoid them. It is self-evident to me that they are toxic, to my own psychology, at least.

The dichotomy brings to mind the "edit streams" in Neal Stephenson's latest, Fall: an internet essentially stratified by class. Who has the money and resources to filter the shit out and who doesn't.
Last night I read this Nature review paper [1] and this history article [2] that describe the parallel investigations in both mRNA technology and lipid nanoparticle technology that ultimately led to the development of mRNA based vaccines. As we come up on Nobel Prize season, the second article is particularly interesting if you want to get a preview of some of the possible recipients.

Knowing how to use the command line will not automatically elevate your command of computers in and of itself. Operating your machine at a lower level by way of the command line will over time help you to gain more computing knowledge more as a side effect. There will come times where you will get stuck trying to use a command or series of commands or scripting something for automation and you will hit a wall - this is where you will discover the secret of all power users; knowing how to solve a problem. (Almost) no one here is a great programmer because they memorized an entire language or framework or OS. We’re great programmers because we know how to find information about our issue and apply that knowledge to come up with a solution. You make a mistake or come across something you’ve never seen before, you research and figure it out, your new knowledge helps you to not make that same mistake again and this just keeps repeating. All of computing knowledge is additive; low-level concepts and tools are the foundations for all layers of abstraction above them. So learning how to use a computer at a lower level will give you a proper base for understanding higher concepts and you’ll learn useful meta information along the way. Certainly everyone learns differently, but I would recommend diving into the command line if you want to do any sort of programming or just be a power user.
Am I missing something or should v0.0.2 really be v0.1.0 considering that there are more than bug fixes in the release?
Since the mRNA covid vaccines seem to only work for 90-180 days, why would a vaccine for anything else be different?
For this I recommend Notes.app or TextEdit.exe

I wonder what percentage of people who thinks HTTPS is difficult to set up and maintain are able to run their own VPS and properly install and configure caddy.
When they announced the split in 2007, there was some deal that required Bungie to make two more Halo games after 3. Bungie released ODST in 2009 and Reach in 2010.
No problem! My apologies for sounding angry, I am not - I can understand how these things happen. I am quite interested to know that you're still keeping up with it, and I may be interested in trying out keygen again.

>This isn't censorship, it's trying to build an experience that doesn't actively turn people away from your platform.

i'm here to tell you that the cutesy shit drives certain people away.

'Funny' isn't some objective quality that things can be neatly sorted into with any level of accuracy, except in cases of the worst most generic/juvenile types of humor that are guaranteed to get a chuckle from 'some idiot' out there.

The parody show 'Ow! My Balls!' in the movie 'Idiocracy' comes to mind.
I guess if you account T = 18 months, JIT can still apply.

More like it perpetuates the myth that LGBTQ+ is a monolithic group.

HIV is more concerning for Gay men for a variety of reasons. There is nothing wrong with pointing out the obvious. Ask anyone who takes prep.
I’ve left positions for similar reasons.

Another strain of this is forcing some COTS application to work via a million hacks and integrations (usually via consulting resources) when a fundamental architecture or application change is needed. Responsibility coupled with the resource and authority to execute is stressful in its own way but it at least allows one to more easily own their failures.
I think a lot of the improvement is also old-guard media companies realizing they don't have to leave comments turned on for their livestreams and video uploads. Those comment sections were invariably absolute sewers of the worst of the worst commentary.

The livestreams were particularly bad because there'd be a comment box live-updating at breakneck pace right next to the video. I recall a description of the livestream of that SpaceX launch of the Tesla Roadster into space that was particularly striking- Here's this placid video feed of Starman calmly floating through space after escaping planet Earth juxtaposed with the incoherent screeching of the millions of angry apes stuck on it.
Is the contract viewership based? I thought it was just a straight 100M.
Whoa. I am new to interviewing and hiring developers. We needed to hire quickly and i interviewed someone, they did great and they were hired. And when they showed up for there first day in our remote zoom call I was very confused and thought I had interviewed a different person. I was the only person who interviewed them directly as they are a contractor. I brushed it off and thought maybe I was mistaken but reading this has made me rethink this initial feeling as I never mentioned it to anyone.
There was a run of excellence on the N64 (Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooie, Diddy Kong Racing, Jet Force Gemini, Perfect Dark) but Banjo Tooie and Donkey Kong 64, in retrospect, are very bloated games. As a kid, I loved them because there was more content for my money, but I can't imagine replaying them now.
> there needs to be a mechanism by which the kernel can tell applications that a given buffer can be reused. MSG_ZEROCOPY handles this by returning notifications via the error queue associated with the socket — a bit awkward, but it works.

Let's say they have a circular buffer for the TX queue.
Why can't they have an atomic variable for the read end of the circular buffer; one could map this variable into shared memory, the kernel could then move this counter, once the nic has completed to send a frame with the data from the read end of that circular buffer. User space could still query this counter to check for 'buffer full' conditions.

I'm in a DevSecOps role and hate it.
I've found that many people are really, really averse to the perception that they're "bothering" their manager, no matter how often it is emphasized that ad-hoc conversations about things that are important to the teams' members are part of the manager's job and despite however much effort the manager puts in to genuinely welcoming these ad-hoc conversations when they happen.

Regularly scheduled 1:1s are a great backstop for this kind of thing, and let people feel confident and prepared for conversations with their management.

If neither party has anything to say, its true the meeting can become a dumb status update - but if neither party has something to say, that implies the time since the last 1:1 saw no growth, no challenges, nothing of note at all to bring up... and this is probably a red flag on its own.

I'm perfectly willing to reduce frequency of 1:1s with very senior and self-sufficient members of my teams, but even once a month is valuable.

Maybe free to play games that make money through micro transactions, without pay to win mechanism (like buying skins or hats!) are the way to sustainably produce games? Kinda like a SAAS subscription instead of a purchase software outright deal.
I think "REST" was primarily successful because people wanted a simple json-webapi, not because of its fancier principles.
What you describe is not what I've experienced with debt. Usually it is a conflict where short term goals and long term goals are at odds with each other. Using your bridge analogy, its more like "We only need an infantry bridge right now, but we know that in a year we need to support tanks". Well we can either spend $2m to build the tank bridge now, or we can spend $1m today for the infantry, but in a year you'll have to spend another $1.5m to make modifications to support tanks.

The debt there is knowing that "we will spend $500k more doing it this way (interest) but we will benefit in the meantime".

There are other factors too that make the true cost of the debt higher. For instance less flexibility as requirements change. I often find myself saying "this would be an easy change if we had initially built it in the more extensible way, but at the time you didn't need/want for extensibility so now your easy feature is actually a large refactor"

Bleeping is another important distinction. It lets you know something was there, and leaves you with a pretty good idea of what it was, preserving the message without preserving the shock value. Cutting bits out entirely and leaving nothing in their place is censorship in the sense that the article is trying to evoke, in a way that bleeping isn't.
I don't know anything about vaccines or their validity, but even then, the current solutions are a shot once a month or PrEP every day... so twice a year sounds pretty great to me?
I’ve always disliked YT comments. It’s either one liners or verified people pretending like they like the video.
Could your next tweet get you in trouble?

May be free but is it still applicable on hosting providers like Godaddy?
Who cares about plagiarism?
Yeah this is my experience. Totally the opposite. Just people disrespecting and arguing in the comments section about nothing.
I don't know if I would classify 15-25 years ago as "recent years"...

>>> - ~2001, Bungie develops Halo as a title for the launch of Mac gaming.

>> - Halo was announced in 1999, originally planned as an RTS for Windows + Mac, not for the launch of Mac gaming (not Mac only, although prior titles were focused on Mac only)

> How I read the OP (at least for this bullet) is in line with what I remember at the time: Halo was originally a Mac exclusive, and us Mac gamers (there were dozens of us, dozens!) generally perceived it as being the beginning of a golden era, where Mac would be taken as seriously as PC for games.

That's how I remember perceiving it: finally a Mac game that the PC gaming kids would be jealous of. Also, I think it had already evolved into a FPS before MS bought it (I remember thinking the vehicles would be really novel and compelling feature compared to PC FPSes).

Gaming with a Mac was a backwater in the 90s. All the popular games would get a belated Mac port, if that (e.g. by the time PC gamers moved on to Command and Conquer: Red Alert, I just was able to play the original Command and Conquer, and Red Alert was never ported at all). Bungie's games were Mac-only and good, but (for instance) by the time I played the Marathon series, the tech was dated.

Edit: corrected mistake, I was thinking about Command and Conquer/Red Alert, not Starcraft/Brood war.
Gonna have to strongly disagree on this. Just because the author has specific anecdotes for their 1x1s, there's no way this applies broadly and generically. I've had a thousand+ 1x1s with countless people (both as a manager and as a report), and the majority of them are just time sucking status updates, casual meet and greets, or some performance/process related discussion. Literally never have I walked out of a 1x1 and thought "wow that was unreasonably effective".
People who run casinos or gambling businesses always have predatory nature. This is the rule everyone should be aware of.
Hate to agree, but yes. A C++ application using the APIs provided by Windows is pretty much unbreakable by time.
I don’t think agreeableness (the inability to negotiate for yourself to have more than others) correlates to conscientiousness.
It's insane to me that people are arguing in favor of the advertisement companies simply because they pay the content creators a sliver of what they accept from the companies that use their ad platform.

Here's my take. It's not "piracy" or "ethical piracy" (what the fuck?). The content creators put it out on YT with the expectation that it will get viewed. The little money they receive now is simply a bonus. It's only piracy if the content creator put it out on a platform for some dollar amount (ie, direct to consumer model) and then it is later re-uploaded for free by another channel or via other means..

In other words, you can't claim piracy when the "price" is $0 up front.

As for YT, I don't really care. They are subsidized by the data that is fed to them (ie, viewing history) and resold to advertisers. They get their nut.

If anything, this should really push the forefront on innovation for a decentralized video streaming platform. One organization or group should not have this much power over who gets the "top views" via a proprietary algorithm.
I play it fine on Linux through Steam/Proton with a Valve Index. If you have a Quest it may be quite difficult, but it should be fine without VR as well
There are some conversations I think are better exchanged more thoughtfully and that takes time. Schedule of people with many direct reports is just overwhelming and it's too easy to naturally avoid certain discussions unless they are deliberately scheduled. IMO 1-1 is "at least" meeting than "at most" meeting.
You're showing your true colors when you say that putting the Canadian flag and a sign saying "freedom" is despicable and desecration.
I dunno - to get jobs some places you need to be really good at leetcode - and that's a niche skill that is increasingly hard to keep current at as you get older, busier in your role and family life.

I'm not confident that I could do a leetcode medium anymore, but I am super confident I could do a similar role to the one I currently do at a company that would only hire me for it if I could do a leetcode medium.

I would never actually use a service like this but I can't say I'm not tempted.

What other kind of investment apart from housing can one take out >=5x leverage on an investment and have the interest tax-subsidized?

Housing is a big racket in the United States, and everyone is too afraid to say anything becuse they just spent the better part of a million dollars on a condo https://www.redfin.com/WA/Seattle/3610-1st-Ave-NW-98107/unit...

But if you make $300/yr and don't have kids or too many expenses thats like 5 years to pay off, so not too bad then? Not totally sustainable for the rest of the country and/or poor people though.

I am building something like this. It's my most ambitious project to date and I know it will require a large team of people to support it's various connections.

Think automatically downloading all youtube videos you liked, all tiktok videos you heart, all tweets you favorite, make a crisp HTML backup of every bookmark you have. It will grab all the videos you "save" and automatically ffmpeg to the resolution of your choosing (in my case x265 720p).

It's a large effort, but one that I think it 100% worth it. People are losing their connection to the past on the whims of a few corporations. It's time to decentralize that.

A swarm of my apps all online, all uploading/downloads the content as people search for it and consume it. No taking it down since there is nothing to take down.
