For the right bill rate, it could be a pretty entertaining role to play.
I like to bring this up, but 8,000 years ago half of North America was under ice. That means that every living creature in that region didn’t exist. Every creature unique to those regions came about in the last 8,000 years.

1. I think evolution happens much faster than people realize

2. Extinctions happen more quickly than people realize

3. Humans likely were the cause of many extinctions through pollution and cultivation. But other animals and plants are currently filling the niche and containing to expand.

I would really like to understand the distribution of species over the last 10k, 100k, 250k, 1m years. We simply don’t have great data so it’s really hard to say. What I can say, is that there’s a ton of life. Life doesn’t appear to have diminished much on a whole. Which is comforting, at the very least.
Java also didn't have to face the fact that, now, Javascript runtimes are really good. There's not that much between Javascript and WASM ... and JS can access the DOM.
I have a dream that one day I will leave Google, and that won't ever happen if every site that I use is connected to my Google account.

I should really have a password manager set up properly as well, but that's just another job, and scary in some way. I have a password manager but it's all manual, no autogenerating accounts or fancy stuff.
I would say the author believed consent is more complicated than we sometimes say it is and yes they struggled with the ethical implications not only with this decision but other decisions along the way.

> So if you add your friend alice's PKEY in your local root as "alice", then you could resolve whatever in her zone as whatever.alice.

This sounds very undesirable to me. The same address resolving to the same website for everyone is a useful property of the current system.
No, thankfully they're hitting paths like /phpmyadmin/index.html which do not exist on the server. Makes sense, it's probably random IP address based probes long you said.

I'm not running https but I should, to protect myself from someone MITMing the requests and possibly pwning my Pi.
This is great. I also often go with something like "can you explain that to me?", because it puts the focus on my apparent lack of understanding the thought process rather than the implication that there's a deficit in the process.
How does the licensing of Javascript like this work?
This is an interesting spin on the age old risk assessment question. Thanks.
I only used the word 'sad' as an example... I can see how that is unclear. The entire abstract seemed very editorialized to me. And I feel the same way that you do, too.

Re-read the abstract; the word "sad" is only a facet of the editorialized nature of the thing.
But clearly there was more than just that one word that held the sentiment.

The comment doesn't show that, it just complains about the one word.

I can clearly see the implicit bias. [...] I'm just saying it's not science.

It's a big claim that's not much related to the post. Can it be an interesting topic of discussion? Absolutely. But the onus is on the commenter to support it, to make it interesting, to present some sort of argument, to spur some kind of interesting discussion. Throwaway comments about a single word don't do that which is why they are discouraged.
Use a router with pfSense or OPNSense so you can see egress traffic & know what is flowing outbound from your network. Visibility into this traffic is really the only way to know for sure what is going on.
OP: what is the point of this?

I flagged it as clickbait. The claim in the title is contrarian to a degree that is guaranteed to get clicks. The article is very short and says only this about databases:

> "Is it even possible to plan sufficiently enough into the future to solve an entire problem?

> "There is an old wives’ tale that went along the lines of: 'He who overfits his schema will find himself migrating his entire database come winter'.

> "An equal dose of iteration and humility creates successful programs. Planning merely sets the cardinal direction."

This is questioning claims that no one ever makes: that any RDBMS solves "an entire problem"; that it's a good idea to migrate an entire database; and that RDBMS schemas are impossible to iterate.

It's easy to criticize extreme, straw-man arguments like this, but it doesn't enlighten the reader at all.
There will probably continue to be a future for liquid fuels (especially for aviation) for quite some time, but ICE vehicles are only cheap because we can get fuel out of the ground and don't have to pay the energy or climate impact costs up front.

Battery-electric vehicles have such a huge efficiency advantage that I don't think ICE vehicles will ever be remotely competitive if you had to synthesize the fuel directly using renewable energy. A more efficient ICE engine (if it can live up to that claim) would be better than using old less-efficient engines, but I think we're at the point where the best option is not to use engines at all unless it's absolutely necessary for that application.

The highest driving range for the longest range Tesla is 402 miles on a
full charged 100kWh battery pack. This is 4.02 miles per kWh.

A 30kW generator will produce 30kWh in an hour, which is enough energy to
drive 120 miles and well above any average travel speed required.

In ideal conditions a 20kW generator would be enough to drive with a
completely depleted battery at highway speeds, and a 10kW generator
would be enough to significantly extend your range.

Which might be necessary.. a 30kW generator running at fult tilt while
sitting at a stop light might be a rather unusual experience. Also
looking at commercial extended duty 30kW generators makes me wonder where
you're going to put that on an already 4,000lb car.

GNS does not "square" Zooko's Triangle. It relies on petnames as said above, so names are purely local, like /etc/hosts. The global identifier used by each Zone is an opaque identifier, like IPFS hashes, that is not human memorable.
Yes and no. The planet is middle aged. If we burn everything down to nothing again, the Earth only has one or two regenerative cycles left (where it can go from simple organisms up to things as complex as mammals again based on how long that took) in it before the sun's slow increase in brightness evaporates the oceans making complex life impossible in about 1.1 billion years. We can really do some damage to the lifecycle of this planet. It took about 2 billion years to go from RNA world to today.

This is the compromise chosen by i2p (*.b32.i2p) and tor (*.onion). Basically your public key, or some hash of it, is your domain name.

I agree that it's probably the least-bad compromise available at the moment.
The trees in the Midwest exist because people put them there. The real prarie is what is gone.
I feel the same way. So much money gets thrown around to solve relatively trivial problems, but I suppose it is like a casino where you hope to win. Whereas no one funding this research expects a financial return.

But you’d think that for example you could consider the tax payers as a body which would generally appreciate a cure to HSV. We could imagine the government funding such things. We just dropped an F-35 in the ocean in the South China Sea. I wonder how much research you could fund for the price of one of those.

This is one of those topics I am more familiar with, and as such the number of users sharing superficial speculation as fact makes me wonder if the same is true on the topics I am not as familiar with.
cases ! People aren't getting seriously ill. How many cases of colds do countries get every year? It's probably not even registered.

At my workplace (a school) almost everyone has had it. Over the two years of the pandemic there has not been even one hospitalization.

We've just witnessed the first global mass hysteria.
It's awesome. Have been using it for a while. Ipv6 overlay network with e2e encryption. And it works well. Dns is blockchain based at the moment. It's neat. You can use it standalone or join the public one. There is also a mail system yggmail and a matrix chat implementation. All work as advertised.

Would recommend to try it
Progress to what?
I myself am, and I've also had colleagues that are.

Only thing I've noticed is that the way we absorb information and master it is very different from some of my colleagues. RTFM is really a struggle, and instead I do better learning through a million smaller pokes that slowly build familiarity (e.g. videos + playing with actual code, even if you don't fully grasp it).

I struggled more in college with contrived examples and math-like definitions, but you show me how it works and it working, and I get it very quickly.

As far as fonts/IDEs? Nothing unusual, just a high quality code font (monospaced, like Cascadia Code, Jetbrains Mono, etc), with normal autocomplete/AI suggestions. I do set my DPI to 125% but that may be an eyesight/personal preference thing.
Remember getting stuck with the "hump" in the middle of the floor? I guess it was only a problem if you have more than one sibling and your parents had rear-wheel drive.
Take all the elephants and lions and giraffe in Africa. Put them in North America. Where are they safe?

A few reserves maybe. In Africa they do mostly fine because there is a lot of undeveloped land. Develop the land and give a population a use for space, megafauna disappear. That’s what’s happening all over Africa now.

When Europeans arrived in the US, the climate stayed reasonably static for a long time but the animals disappeared. Is there another reason except humans?

I once explained to a coworker that I brought in some soda that day because the diet soda at work was expired. They were skeptical and we proceeded to go down to the cafe to setup a blind taste test. I passed with flying colors and we had an interesting conversation about it. It was a fun 20 minutes of not working.

How to See (and Disable) the Telemetry Data Firefox Collects About You (2020)
I’m mostly a radar guy so I’m missing it — is it the fact that we only see the upper sideband, as though the signal is analytic? I don’t know this software (only a bit of GNUradio now and then) so I don’t know if the green bar up top is just the filtered passband or what. If it’s supposed to be the passband, I get that some of the spectra (“demo2,” for example) creep out of it, which is fishy. Any insight is appreciated!
Minor aside to that; the US army just awarded a contract to Cummins to complete development of their new 2 stroke opposed piston engines.

https://www.cummins.com/news/releases/2021/07/30/us-army-awa...

Cummins and Achates Power was supposed to have delivered two working prototype engines to the US Army's TARDEC to be installed into a Bradley for evaluations in 2019. I'm assuming that they testing went well enough to prove that the engines are viable enough for further development.

Uncertain if the technology will ever meander it's way to regular car market, but interesting to see ICE development continue on.
I agree to a great extent. We produce a lot of stuff that isn't necessary or is designed with excessive packaging, un-ecofriendly elements that may be replaceable, and is intentionally designed to reach obsolescence quickly. I despise our system, I'm just elucidating its internal logic.
Why would a legislator make that illegal if their constituents benefit from the taxes it raises? Making it illegal would represent an errosion of their revenues...
That is an incredibly hard to read font, see:

https://opendyslexic.org/about

I struggle far more parsing that than a typical monospaced font. In particular as that is 18pt, turn it down to a more normal 14pt and that's worse than most of Word's default fonts let alone coding specific ones.
I am only half kidding when I say if you are saying something and it doesn’t offend at least one old lady, it’s probably not worth saying.

Exactly. Modern piston engines are great for dynamic loads but very inefficient because of it. Using engines to generate electricity in a single optimized configuration can greatly increase efficiency while benefiting from all the advantages of electric drivetrains. They can also be made modular to power everything from cars to boats to machinery.

This setup is already used in diesel-electric locomotives and submarines but hasn't really been applied to other transport systems for various reasons. It's something I've been working on as a side project although maybe it's time to launch it as a startup.

I don't use Ubereats anymore because of multiple bad experiences, but I've found that often now even if you call the restaurant directly to order they will use Ubereats to deliver.

If that happens, that is the last time I order from that restaurant.

Your note about the sweetener packets makes me curious if diet soda syrup lasts longer. This has been a reason for me to hold off on putting together my own carbonation setup as, in spite of how much soda I drink, I still don’t think I could move through the requisite 2.5 gallons of syrup before the expiration date hit. I wonder if the aspartame suffers the same hydrolysis in syrup.

Nice pun on the TLD.
It’s a bit of an optics problem. Presumably it’s a great benefit to have law enforcement respected by the community and not objects of ridicule and laughingstocks.

You seem focused on the economics of the situation and I’m hard pressed to come up with a number for police who are a joke vs. police whom the public have faith in. But a cheap way to get that benefit is stop having law enforcement act like asses.
This paper is loads of fun so I thought it would be worth sharing here.

Summary: Implementing symbolic integration for a computer algebra system using numerical methods for symbolic regression.

Abstract: Most computer algebra systems (CAS) support symbolic integration as core functionality. The majority of the integration packages use a combination of heuristic algebraic and rule-based (integration table) methods. In this paper, we present a hybrid (symbolic-numeric) methodology to calculate the indefinite integrals of univariate expressions. The primary motivation for this work is to add symbolic integration functionality to a modern CAS (the symbolic manipulation packages of SciML, the Scientific Machine Learning ecosystem of the Julia programming language), which is mainly designed toward numerical and machine learning applications and has a different set of features than traditional CAS. The symbolic part of our method is based on the combination of candidate terms generation (borrowed from the Homotopy operators theory) with rule-based expression transformations provided by the underlying CAS. The numeric part is based on sparse-regression, a component of Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics (SINDy) technique. We show that this system can solve a large variety of common integration problems using only a few dozen basic integration rules.
Neither of those can really been said to have sum types.

I just quit a vaguely similar kind of environment because there's always a few internal wars and suddenly people invent shit about who is the reason nothing happens and spread lies to save their ass.

Everyone fighting with everyone else is how every standard is made. Standards evolving slowly is generally a good thing, because it gives people time to understand each standard and learn something before the next standard is designed.
Oh, then I’m not sure how the parents points (about “betting against the house”) are relevant, because sports betting (unlike casino games) doesn’t do that.
I believe the proposed rule is that you can not choose between players. That's different from allowing a maximum bet amount for all players. That is, the casino has to take the billionaires bet, but not more than the 10k limit they enforce on everyone.
I think a problem with releasing a powder into a carbonated drinks is it would start to foam up and bubble out possibly.

>911 won't even send a cop out for less than a homicide any longer, they just tell you to file a police report online. It's all very deliberate

what you describe is basically a blackmail by the cops. Blackmailing the public that way kind of suggests that it isn't just few bad apples - it is the whole police system which is morally corrupt.
Yes, what you wrote mirrors a lot of my thoughts and questions on this. These are the kinds of analogies that I can't help but draw when I hear the communications around covid, and there are never any satisfactory answers.
With lots of money on the line you're probably not going to trust strangers with this, and the corporate bookmakers aggressively search for "duplicate" accounts (might vary in different jurisdictions but in Australia at least you need to provide full name, date of birth, address and government issued ID to play and withdraw - you can't fake that and you'll run out of trusted family members before too long).

Don't worry. If I'm following the code correctly, then the definition of "the certificate changed" is "either the issuer name, notBefore, or notAfter fields change." Unless you are Google, Cloudfare [1], or the issuer is Let's Encrypt, in which case that check isn't bothered with as those sites update too frequently. No need to worry about, let's say, the public key possibly different. I'm not sure how much of the rest of the certificate process is being done (e.g., making sure that the cryptographic signature is valid), since I'm not savvy on OpenSSL's APIs to know what you do yourself and what OpenSSL does for you.

Even for a TOFU implementation of SSL, this repository is amazingly bad.

"It's a risk" means there's profit in removing the risk.

As far as insurance goes, it just reduces the variance. Folks who buy the insurance will take short-cuts elsewhere because money spent one place is money that can't be spent another.

And, if you're tempted to respond with "but it wouldn't cost much", my response is "then there's no reason why you shouldn't pay that cost."

And yes, I have a 120 year-old house that I'm keeping as authentic as reasonable. (I do want electricity and central heat.)
