The way our society is evolving makes me anxious. Banning is just a red tape. The solution to the problem is not a censorship rather liberation through knowledge. Are they going to ban Black too? We should be teaching why slavery is bad, misery faced by our fellow African people. I read a lot of history books and I should say they do way better task than such bans.

That's not a password-manager, but a generator with it's own flaws. You must remember what type of password a service is using. If a password is leaked, you must remember the new master password. And it seems to not support crappy services with lenght&char-limit on passwords? So your actual password-manager is the place where you store these informations, probably your brain?

Is there a browser-extension for your tool available? It seems more secure and convenient to integrate this generator directly into the browser. Just enter the masterpassword into the password-field, and let the password be generated in-place. Would remove some attack-vectors and speed up usage. Also, maybe then add some second master password as a general seed, to add personalization for every extension-user?

There's a big difference between smart phone apps and screens, you've just said it yourself. I don't think there's any argument that modern apps are destructive to many people, but the rest of your post is really just not understanding how anyone can have a view point that isn't yours.

Complete rubbish. Books have been giving that experience for generations. TV shows have been providing that experience for 50+ years.

As much as you think this is a unique thought, this is what your parents generation thought about the decisions you made. Nonsense like what you're claiming here has been spouted about music, video games,TV shows, movies, dancing, music, etc.

In addition to the LOI items, we got conceptual agreement on the phone from all decision makers about a huge list of other items that we couldn't fit in the LOI and sent an email recap.

To this day I call the recap email the "golden email" as it was definitely the most profitable email I've ever sent.

Guess what else has massive effect on metabolism? Exercise.

Also, various workouts have a lot of other important effects. Increasing bone strength, improving body resistance to inflammatory processes, developing micro vascular system… simply managing calorie in/out ratio won’t get you any of this. And dropping weight in a dumb way may do more harm than good.

That little bit of a friction makes all the difference. The only people who will see replies are those who are invested in the discussion. (ie, those who will return and refresh the page to see who has added what comments.)

Hm, it seems like SvelteKit has grown in functionality since I last checked, fair enough.
While I understand the lens this is coming from, I don’t think it’s realistic.

Faculty, in general, don’t operate as a team like in a more traditional business. One or two or five might collaborate on a project but they typically operate very independently of one another.

Words like “collegiality” are frequently used in the academic hiring and promotion process to speak to issues that are seen as outside or parallel to merit. The problem being that the historical evidence shows that concerns about collegiality have frequently been used to disrupt actual evaluation of meritocracy in ways that specifically harm URM faculty.

Collegiality gets used because there is no real expectation that faculty act like a team, just that they aren’t active assholes to do heir peers in committee meetings.

Being difficult to work with is not a generalized negative in academia. It only is seen as a problem when someone has some other problem with you. Many faculty, in my experience/opinion, who are fantastic researchers have the emotional maturity of small children. There is a trend against that but it is far from disqualifying.

Academia, like many things, is a meritocracy until it’s not.
Apple: Cannot reset security questions without knowing your security questions

Coming back is a shock - I was out for 10 years (not all in the wilderness, but mostly renting in small towns or camping or living in a van in Asia, Europe, Australia). I had the misfortune of coming back to the US a month before Trump won the election. I had the double misfortune of my homecoming flight being to Las Vegas for my brother's bachelor party. The fucking darkness. The recessed lighting, the militarized look of the signs and vehicles. I still remember turning on the TV in the hotel room and listening to this horrible shit pour out of the only channels... things I couldn't imagine ten years earlier. It took a couple years before it sank in and the daily shocks started to numb me. And encumber my mind. But I'd been an alkie on the road, and when the pandemic hit all the worst of that came back. Spent most of the last couple years inside a bottle, with no way out. Nowhere to go. Nowhere you can go. Girlfriend likes to drink, but tells me I should sober up. Girlfriend seems like the reason I drink sometimes, but she's not; just the sense of being trapped.

When your only outlet is through a screen, or patio outside the bar with a few neighbors, everything narrows down. I know a guy who just got back from ice climbing in Utah and I think, well, fuck it's too late for me to ever do something like that. I really feel trapped.

Hey anyway, thank you for sharing this. It does give me some inspiration. You're the kind of person I hope I run into out there, when or if I do get out there again.
Those situations are incomparable. Even if 100 cars are speeding, a cop can only pull over one driver at a time (although I've heard in some states police can do a bit better by patrolling in groups). But apps aren't speeding past app store reviewers onto the store; every app that makes it is explicitly approved. The problem here is not limited resources (at Apple for crying out loud!) but rather inconsistent application of the rules.

The article seems to miss what is (at least to me) the most interesting follow-up question: if exercise doesn’t cause a person to burn significantly more Calories throughout the day to induce weight loss, then what does?

I’m somewhat hard-pressed to believe the answer is diet alone. Anecdotally, when I was running 100 miles per week in college for cross country, I ate three or four giant meals per day and maintained a very low weight. Ten years later, I have an injury that makes most types of exercise difficult, and I’ve observed that I really can’t eat more than one meal per day (dinner), otherwise my weight starts to creep up.

I find it odd that Calories are used in relation to weight gain, because (kilo)calories are a unit of energy, and excess weight is due to excess fat. Is there a simple linear relationship between the extractable energy content in food (as determined by the Atwater system) and the conversion of food components into fat by the digestive system? I find that hard to believe. Shouldn’t we be using a mass balance rather than an energy balance? If you could observe digestion at the atomic level, you would simply quantify which atoms from food end up in fat stores and which leave the body via other processes. Presumably, these atoms could then be bucketed into source categories (e.g. certain types of proteins or carbohydrates). I wouldn’t be surprised if exercise somehow alters the fat accumulation process even if it doesn’t significantly affect human metabolism.
Germans are careful and deliberate in a way they phrase criticism. They don't just go full in nor randomly criticize everything.

And above all, they don't phrase things for maximal emotional impact. They dont exaggerate. They dont go out of way to make criticism sound funny. Which is unlike majority of "nerdy" or "geeky" criticism found online in tech circles.
Why change the subject? We were talking about misinformation and debate in the abstract. But alright, now I will again beat you in debate on a different topic. You claim nobody had issues with the polio vaccine. Are you referring to the polio vaccine that despite a six year development time, accidentally gave 40,000 children polio due to defective manufacturing?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC1383764/

"In April 1955 more than 200 000 children in five Western and mid-Western USA states received a polio vaccine in which the process of inactivating the live virus proved to be defective. Within days there were reports of paralysis and within a month the first mass vaccination programme against polio had to be abandoned. Subsequent investigations revealed that the vaccine, manufactured by the California-based family firm of Cutter Laboratories, had caused 40 000 cases of polio, leaving 200 children with varying degrees of paralysis and killing 10."

I thought the Cutter Labs incident was quite well known, but apparently not.

Now, back on topic. See what I did there? You made a false claim and then asserted that anyone who disagrees with you is the victim of misinformation and engaging in "conspiracy language". You believed there were no issues with the polio vaccine when in fact there were such severe safety issues the first mass vaccination programme had to be abandoned. I responded to this with facts and citations, showing conclusively that it's actually you who is a victim of (pro-vaccine) misinformation in this case, not anyone else.

All this is possible due to the internet. You're claiming the "information space" is a "minefield". But that doesn't seem to hold up. The internet is really much, much less dangerous for your mind than reading ordinary newspapers or watching TV news. And that's what Yglesia's is saying - people who doggedly stick to what media/government selected "experts" tell them are constantly being trounced in debate and made to look foolish by facts and data. They react to this with a massive case of projection.

> There is plenty of pro China propaganda to go around.

Maybe, but I doubt that's your personal experience. Most people in the "free world" are shielded from pro China propaganda. So, that there is more pro China propaganda than Western propaganda is just their belief.
I don't know if this is very interesting, but I've rarely seen such a blatant example of incompetency.

The axioms are like this:

1. Even with 2FA active, Apple will, apparently every couple of years, make you answer the security questions you gave when you first set the account up.

2. If you don't know the answer to your security questions (I used generated passwords I simply can't find after several years of not needing them), you can reset them.

3. If you attempt to reset your security questions, you first need to answer your security questions.

Like the people in that thread, I've contacted Apple support and after a 30 minute conversation about why the process of resetting my forgotten security questions (which requires me to know my security questions) doesn't work, they suggested I create a new Apple ID. Naturally with no path towards keeping my past purchases, data etc.

I guess for static data a carefully crafted trie would probably be even faster as it just has to compare a byte or more in each node and thus is O(K) whereas K is the key length instead of O(n) where n is the number of keys.

If it isn't static the height optimized trie by Robert Binna is the most advanced trie, I guess. It might also be a good fit for a static trie as it keeps the height to a minimum.
> I don't understand why hiring in academia is so weird.

Well do the math. In a steady-state where the number of academic positions is static, each professor needs to train a single academia-focused PhD student in his entire career. OK, maybe make that 2 to account for attrition. But most professors are churning out far more PhDs looking to enter academia than there can possibly ever be jobs for. Then these highly-skilled and disciplined individuals end up working for peanuts for decades in the hopes of landing a "tenure" job.

I have two close friends, one in their 40's, one around 50, who are in this situation, and I think it's absolutely shameful. Post-doc positions are fixed terms, so every two to three years they have to worry about getting more funding or being without a job. There's no reason someone as highly skilled and disciplined as these two should be 1) paid so low, and 2) worrying how they're going to support their families every few years. It's really like some kind of a cult.

At this point I would honestly never advise anyone to enter academia, unless you're in a field like Computer Science, where industry does a good job competing with universities for PhDs. If you have the chops to get tenure in STEM, you have the chops to be paid more, with better job security, better work/life balance, better career trajectory, better everything, somewhere else.

If you ask me to reverse a string at interview, you're going to get my opinion about at least:

* Why a string isn't (shouldn't be treated as) really just a sequence of characters (even if yes, internally it's probably some structure like a vector of bytes, or 16-bit unsigned integers, or whatever) and so "reversing" it is probably nonsense.

* Dangers that fall out of that, starting with: Oops my reverse function actually produces invalid trash because that's not how text works.

* Bad interview code exercises. Do you actually reverse strings here? No? Then why are you wasting my time?

Because books are not (yet) generally authored by sociopaths working at social media companies, altering what you see to maximise "engagement".
You are arguing a different point. They argued that doing exercise burns more calories than sitting idle.

Raytracing on a Graphing Calculator
Few things missing for me after a similar switch are FreeBSD's lack of support for 80211ac and 80211ax, trackpad (I ditched Apple's faulty "Pro" hardware but their trackpads are awesome) and fingerprint scanner support for my ThinkPad (T14s AMD Gen1).

What I absolutely do not miss are Apple's constant crappy UI/UX changes and progressing configurability deprivation delivered under the umbrella of secretive security updates.

With Apple I had to choose between security and stable UX. No iPhone or Mac felt "mine" in recent years. I still use iPhone (lesser evil thing) but replaced MBP with ThinkPad (FreeBSD always had good support for ThinkPads) and am not looking back. I don't miss eye-candy software, designer hardware and I cherish configurability and that my computer is "mine" again and feels like a tool not a toy. Due to macOS' BSD roots, large part of my userland remained almost unchanged.
I think the point is that the big two personal computer operating systems have become so user hostile that alternatives are looking good.

FreeBSD wouldn't be my choice either but for a mac refugee it makes sense.
New EU antitrust frontier emerges for Microsoft and Google: Spam ads
Like in many product teams, I bet that they know, problem is management.
Search is horrendous across the board, list of conversations is where messages go to die, the "teams" part which is a weird hybrid forum has an awful UI and no way to not collapse messages by default (and little to no options). What works well is A/V meetings planned in the outlook calendar. There is no third-party reliable API that we can use to have anything else than the web (or electron) client), which happen to be fairly buggy and very heavy, while at the same time leaking unwanted information to other people. Calls are intentionally crippled on firefox to make sure you use chrome, their web browser, or their app.

But I guess it allows management to spy on employees while being integrated with the microsoft ecosystem, so it gets a free pass.
