I can't stand the sites that do the weird crap to scrolling, like this Samsung example. It's borderline unusable for me and as soon as I notice it I'm more likely to close the tab then give it any more time with my eyeballs and suffer the degraded experience due to scroll hijacking.
> Wikipedia was always seen as a bit dubious and uncertain

Base knowledge has to come from somewhere, so where it would have been an encyclopedia fifteen years ago it is wikipedia now. That's just the times moving on - if you have material concerns with the linked articles you are free to edit them (although it must be said you will have a hard time doing so with rich folks - they have firms to whitewash their pages).

More fundamentally however eugenics is baked into reality. For a simple example look at how well you are when you are handsome, smart, healthy, tall and fit. And look at how you are treated when you are the opposite. I do not want to add any ethical qualifier to this but it is reality.

We are talking really long term storage for data that might be valuable even after a decade or more. Also, the capture of such data is not so easy. Such considerations are applicable only if your thread model includes a nation state or a corporation with similar capabilities and long-term incentives.

Yeah, that's where the engineer/s need/s to be able to explain things clearly to non-technical stakeholders - which is vital for many other things besides this.

I think our hypothetical company would likely founder on any of a hundred other issues before this one if none of the engineers had this skill.

There is no point destroying a device physically it only make it obvious that you have something to hide and probably can be used against you.

There’s a lot of room to be more successful and still lose money.
Actually aircraft do use the term “cleared for takeoff” when reading back their takeoff clearance to ATC.

Little bit of trivia, but on Sully’s famous flight he didn’t quite read back his takeoff correctly. You need to state your identifier AND runway and, IIRC, he only read back “cactus 1549 cleared for takeoff”, omitting the runway. Totally unrelated to the flight, just a little detail which the movie got right (I checked the liveATC audio).
You can use cryptomator https://cryptomator.org/. It is similar to veracrypt, but is specifically made for users to encrypt and upload encrypted to cloud.

It is also recommended by these guys:-
https://privacyguides.org/software/productivity/#encrypt
https://www.privacytools.io/#encryption
https://cloudstorageinfo.org/cryptomator-review

My suggestion:-
Use cryptomator to encrypt very important files on a cloud storage you use for day-to-day activity, eg- dropbox, google drive etc. And the non-important files can stay unencrypted like they normally would.
This configured system, unlike the rest of the way CloudFlare works with http, is actually end to end encrypted.
Presumably people care about write speed because it's typically harder to scale up than read speed as there are just less tricks overall that can be applied.

Like we can assume the overwhelming majority of applications writing to a database are interested in durability. A good portion of those could tolerate eventual consistency on reads, for instance, which means there are considerably more ways outside the database to improve read performance.
This looks great. I wonder how it compares to linkedom (repo[1], writeup[2]), which I have found to be fantastic.

Travelling with a partner is a better bet. Involves a lot of the testing scenarios that living with someone brings: decisions, shared finances, putting in effort, cleanliness in shared space (roadtrip car, motel rooms) etc. But worst case you've wasted a week and a smaller amount of money.
From the article:
"These pictures each contain an inky black disc of nothing. A black sun hangs with pendant menace and mystery.

But they’re neither objects nor stains, rather punch holes made by Roy Stryker, director of the FSA’s documentary photograph program, and his team of editors. The holes marked pictures as unfit for purpose."
Fantasic idea and implementation. My timeline on here compared to twitter.com looks more sane and inteligent without those recommendations of 'X liked this tweet', and all the news topics. I assume that's because it's getting the raw feed.

I also love low-fi websites like this. I think websites shouldn't be a large drain on resources, and should embrace standard HTML as much as possible.

This has the opportunity to curve timewasting scrolling by making it more a periodical read. As such, I'd like the return of the timestamps and to implement hourly pagination, so that there's an 'end' point and a easy bookmark to start where you left off.
Could you also provide an update on this issue about the Cloudflare open source contact address?

> Tandy's drive is a horrible, unreliable kludge.

Even I, as a Color Computer (CoCo) owner, had heard about the issues with expansion memory and peripherals the Model I.

It also couldn't pass FCC regulations for RF emissions.

> ... but Tandy otherwise kept all technical information secret ...

They started to come around later. With the CoCo, they published the schematics for it as a book. I mostly didn't understand it back then... it would have helped if they'd bundled the data sheets for the various chips along with the book.

The assembly language programming book for the 6809 (the CPU in the CoCo) didn't really cover the hardware inside the CoCo (like the 6821 peripheral interface adapter) either. That was a shame.

Are those words inherited from native Indigenous people?

As someone who uses English as a second language and have never lived in a English native country, most of those words don't 'look English' to me.

I use ZeroTier, but only with Linux boxes (also used on a Mac when I had one), so instead of DNS I use nss-mdns and avahi. It is enough to install and it just works - computers are available under $HOSTNAME.local.

If you are all about self hosting, here’s my method (disclosure, I made this tool):

1. Run https://github.com/antoniomika/sish on any free tier instance or fly

2. On server, ssh -R anythinghere:22:localhost:22 sishinstance

3. On client, ssh -J anythinghere sishinstance

The tunnel is kept internal to sish, meaning it isn’t exposed to the open internet. You need to auth first to sish (using SSH) and then auth with your server (using SSH) as well before you can gain access.

Attributes tripped me up as well, which is why I talked about them in the presentation. The language server provides completions for them, which helps significantly.
I don’t think chefs apply first principles.

For example, have you ever met a chef that was able to sketch out the 3-d structure of the various molecules and that used that information to guide their recipe?

No most chefs are using finely tuned heuristics about how different ingredients interact.
You recognize all of them? You have superpowers! I only recognized 1, maybe 2 of the female words. When I buy textile stuff I only look for a couple of fabrics that I already know, simply because I don't want to enter another rabbit hole. I think this is also how most people shop about stuff that they need but don't really care much about.
> I'm my own "I don't care if this succeeds" project.

It is like you are me. I came to a similar conclusion independently. Whatever I do doesn't need to "succeed".

The only think I push myself is to build and build. Meet new people and hope it opens new doors.
You can get virtual server for $4/month. Installing proprietary software and registering to some service, that may "upgrade" to premium tier anytime, is pretty off-putting.
I have a family member that owns one and I've tried it a few times recently. The bike hardware is very good, the instructor content is very good, the software is decent. No noticeable decline in software or content.

Overall cost compares pretty well to a gym, PT, or class subscriptions esp if you live in an expensive area.

It does feel like a potentially valuable company that is just being run badly, but also could face competition. It also does feel like a company that could work well within a larger fitness or content company.
Isn't this because British people see class a bit differently? Like you can win the lottery but don't consider yourself upper class because you weren't born in the right family/attended the right schools/whatever? Same as you can be down to your last penny, but you are from the Duke's family or whatnot and still consider yourself upper class?

You mean, like just login to a server without going through layers of cloud providers? How would that work?

For real, I can't imagine running a straight port 22 ssh service on the modern internet, but I'm usually happy just moving it to an unprivileged port for obscurity on personal equipment (plus some other common sense hardening of course). For work stuff, I'd feel naked without some sort of VPN and it seems that's essentially what these services are.
In the interest of completeness: GNAT is the most well-known Ada compiler and uses GCC as its backend, but there are at least 6 other commercial Ada compilers out there. [0] As far as I know, GNAT is the only one that uses GCC.

I will absolutely be willing to take that criticism from someone who hasn't fallen for the NY Post's "Adele is canceled because we found a tweet from someone with 375 followers".

> And regarding the word "master", do you think a black guy will get offended to get called a masterchief ?

If you call your mother "mother", will she be mad? How about "motherfucker"? Compound words change meaning.
This is a great example of Content PR.
Having your CEO change course every two months is definitely worse - just let me finish something! (it was a hardware company so there's not really such thing as a pivot)
TLDR: A thing exists. It doesn’t do what I want. Other people like the thing. Therefore patriarchy.
>But how many 0-days have been discovered in MMS? WhatsApp is starting to look like a TLA backdoor in comparison.

Your comparison doesn't make sense. MMS has no need for 0-days as it's a basic communication protocol that has zero security to begin with.

That's like saying "but how many 0-days does TCP-IP have?"
Well, it seems unsurprising that a WordPress plugin called "PHP Everywhere" has a security vulnerability..
I honestly love cities skylines for how car centric it is. It is the premier logistical challenge in that game, and it is a genuinely hard challenge.

There's plenty of games about building cities, but I've never played a game that really challenges you to understand the throughput and layout of road networks as skylines does. That said, I can see how people could get blindsided by it. You want to make a nice city and instead you're browsing wikipedia for how to make interchanges.
I can't speak for others - but I don't hate the Block Chain. I think the technological underpinnings are pretty interesting. I'm also kinda fascinated to watch what will happen next - will crypto currencies get government regulated (or at least the exchange to and from real currencies)? Will they get banned?

When it comes to Crypto-Currency... I personally don't own any of that, because I'm old fashioned. (I don't play poker, I don't trade stocks, I don't "make" money at all, I rather earn it - that's just how I'm wired). But if you are into it - knock yourself out. I'm not going to proselytize.

The only thing I really dislike about Crypto, is those people in it, who believe that they can convert *me*, if they just push hard enough. And if I say "not interested" they think they just didn't proselytize/evangelize/preach enough... that sort of behavior can make quite angry. Does not mean I hate Crypto, though.
I've always thought of "genius," as "looking at it differently," as opposed to "smarter."

From what history shows us, that's not a bad observation.
Please explain? I've googled your sentiment and have found some links but not many answers. Breaking a contract is just as illegal (~ against the law) as breaking the law? This follows trivially from contract law being a part of law. More substantive: Both contracts and laws proscribe actions. One can find remedy for breaking either via the legal system. (Obviously the severity of punishment can differ several orders of magnitude.) Only if you limit 'illegal' to criminal law you might be right in some jurisdictions.

Inherently I would think someone (entity) doing this is not doing it in any particularly targeted manner, just like blasting out phishing attempts.

I think it's less about personal threat model in the sense of 'who from', and more about how the value deteriorates with time (quickly and absolutely if it's a key that is rotated, for example; never at all (completely less embarrassment after some years, depending on jurisdiction) if it's a conversation about illegal activity).
The portuguese government entities such as ANACOM and CMVM should enforce certains type of security architectures for all those companies in risk of paying penalties.
Home Assistant has home zones. You can trigger events based on being home, away, or the trigger between both states.

My current favorite automation is to turn off my lights when I go to sleep by plugging my phone in to charge. The basic logic is:

* IF it's 1AM
OR
I transition from Away to Home
OR
My mobile starts charging
CONDITIONAL
My location is AWAY
OR
the time is between 21:00 and 03:00
THEN
Turn my office, kitchen and bedroom lights off *

It's a bit complex to get your head around, but the basic idea is, my lights turn off at 1 AM, or I leave the house, or my phone starts charging after 9 PM. This allows me to go to bed early (I'm a night owl) by just charging my phone. It wont trigger in the day based on the conditional.
My first program was the same, but on a Vic-20. My code to roll 3d6 3x, and take the best score for each attribute, was 52 lines long. I printed it out and showed my dad, who was programming mainframes at his work. He said he could do it in 7, and proceeded to show me nested loops. It wound up being 6. From then on, I was hooked. I’ve been programming ever since.
I won't comment on the other licenses, but the point of the GPL is _user empowerment._ The origin is that Stallmann had a broken printer but was not able to fix it due to it having a proprietary driver.[1] It's not at all about ensuring support (or preventing profit). It's all about ensuring the end user (even if that end user is 37 steps away from the original author!) has _all_ the rights to do anything with the software that they would like.

Quite a lot of the time the user may not be able or want to use the rights granted them, but that doesn't make those rights useless. Indeed, they serve an important function, see the various offshoots of that early Linksys WRT code!

It saddens me greatly that so many have lost sight of this.

Controversial or not I agree 100%. You are a steward of the system. The hard part is to define “system” broadly enough to include an outlook that is at least medium term (relative to individual features) but not so broad that you kid yourself that you should be second-guessing things beyond your competence. Somewhere in that range is a sweet spot where a healthy negotiation could go either way, depending on circumstance and opportunity.
Why do you say that? He's careful in his speech not because he's trying to subtly mislead anyone, but the very same people who attempt to smear him would love to have the opportunity to criticize an incorrect word choice.

Using the term "acolytes" is intellectually dishonest here and shows poor faith. Its conjures images of blind, zealous followers. No one who espouses hate can also truly be his "acolyte". He's publically denounced such individuals multiple times.
All things start from theory, just not the kind you think about. It seems you are referring to the academic style of theories, but in reality it is much closer to your mentioned trial and error - if you think about it, trial and error also requires guesses and theories to be viable, just that they don't come in written form, but rather from intuition. And I think intuition is the fundamental building block of first principles thinking or whatever they want to call it.

Thank you. I know more about Myanmar than I do about Facebook now. And
what a long upsetting read that was. There are hardly words to
describe such total failure of humanity. I wonder if I may have
offended you by understatement. I am sorry if that is so. In place of
"sectarian conflict" I should have said:

A colossal hell-hole boasting almost a century [1] of uninterrupted
brutality, millions of dead, hundreds of thousands of refugees, an
intractable death-spiral of poverty, disease, natural disaster,
religious division, foreign arms dealers, corporate profiteers,
military maniacs, mercenaries, poisoned land, torture camps, rape as a
systematic weapon of war, child soldiers, land mines, opium farmers,
and.... Facebook.

Admittedly the last of those is the least of their worries.

Still, for the sake of brevity what phrase like "ongoing civil war" or
"ethnic divisions" might succeed, because there are no few words that
can describe such a situation or would be acceptable language on this
polite board.

[1] All those articles seem to suppose things went bad _after_ the
British left. Being British, I am supposing they may have started
sooner.

We have a ssh reverse-forwarding based solution. And unlike the Cloudflare solution you don't need to "give the keys of your house" (as someone here commented) to reach your private machines.

You can remotely open and close the tunnels through our web interface or our web API.

Plus, we have web API-based automated deployment solution if you have many clients.
> have poor developer experiences and they never bothered to improve and add more syntactic sugar

Ada actually did in Ada 2012 and moreso in Ada 202x.

- Expression functions, and expression forms of if/else and case statements

- more natural "aspect" versions of a lot of pragmas

- iterator syntax for containers which can be user-defined

- user-defined indexing into containers (Variable_Indexing and Constant_Indexing)

- user-defined aggregate initialization (such as for containers, the Yeison library exploits this to provide JSON-like initialization)

Overall though, the language syntax is coherently put together with orthogonal elements, despite the various pieces coming together over decades. The language designers have done a superb job ensuring that Ada 2012 felt uniform, and not like a collection of bolted on parts.
wait a sec, is this post indicating that an app was rejected from the iOS app store simply for containing the string "Syria" in the binary? How would this not affect hundreds(?) of libraries?

A ML pipelining/build library. Think like make but for ML models, but written in Python code and invalidating results based on data and code changes using Merkle DAGs. Similar to DVC, but again using pure Python instead of YAML files, and (arguably) more powerful caching. I use it myself and find it very useful, but don't have the energy to polish and promote it :) Maybe that will change in the future though!
A bike that you can attach your iPad to seems like one way too. They probably don’t want to make iBikeOS for a new class of iDevices!

That sounds likely, given the easier issues.
If they upgrade to premium tier, set up your virtual server then. Your total cost, $0 for the duration it's free + $4 * the rest is still lower than $4 * lifetime, and the cost for switching is only going to be marginal.
I think smarter is probably a necessary condition for genius though. Dumb or average people looking at things differently isn't usually helpful when it comes to really hard problems.
