With slow, unreliable tweets he might have had to be filtered through normal channels, which would have meant they came out at more predictable times like “press conferences” after being discussed by the people involved in that whole process, instead of “I watched Fox and Friends and now I’m pissed off about whatever they wanted me to be angry about today”. It would have been much easier to understand things, that shit was constant chaos.
> There were stories over the years that I wanted to write but didn't get approval. Anything that might instigate a political discourse was discouraged, for example, such as a story about holding an event about wireless network connectivity in an area where locals struggled to get even basic phone service.

That was considered "likely to instigate political discourse"? That's just depressing.

Regarding the limits to the attractiveness of a very low voice, my pet theory is that they start to sound too mellow and like they belong to an inactive person. Someone who can absorb the stress of the day, be alert and active, and still have a deep voice, stands out, and those men are going to be physiologically forced out of the lowest ranges after spending time upright even if they don't tighten in response to stress. Again, just a pet theory, mostly based on past colleagues whose voices almost put me to sleep.

I met my wife on Bumble, it has a bit of a swipe mechanic, but realistically my (now) wife was the only one (out of all the apps) who actually captured my attention and had interesting conversations with.

The conversation was interesting enough to draw me back from all the other conversations that were going nowhere.

I think the point of this app is to try and slow people down and try to spend a bit of time talking with people to get to know them; you've got a whole day to ask about interests, news, adventures, plans, history, etc. rather than "your pickup line wasn't witty enough, next!" or "lets trade witty remarks to each other for the next week, have sex, and never see each other again"

(although arguably you don't want to match with that sort of person. so maybe the real benefit is that they would be filtered out by this app?)

This is the assessment I have, EVERY way to manage documents or knowledge or whatever is about as ~80% as good as the ideal solution at worst. This is a problem you can spend a lot of time bikeshedding and where it's questionable to not just use the path of least resistance tools that you already have at hand.

The #1 actual problem and differentiator all these tools has is search. The #1 thing you can do in my experience to make your documentation higher quality is to template it and make it consistent as this makes it far easier to quickly grok.

Shared understanding in sharing tools as well as language.
I think the point is like this: initially, at some point, males and females of some hominid species had the same voice pitch. Then some individual males were born with a deeper voice by some accident.

Now, the question becomes: why did the very first deep-voice males have any kind of positive selection pressure? At the time, this wasn't a male-specific trait, it was just some mutation that one individual who happened to be male had, so the initial explanation can't be sexual dimorphism. There must have been either some survival advantage, or some coincidence where this mutation happened to match a trait that was already sexually attractive for some deeper reason.

Like, imagine if 10,000,000 years from now, human-descended males have a characteristic tale, while females do not. Today, no humans have a tail, so you have to wonder, why did women start looking for a tail in their men?
> If, under duress, Alice is forced to reveal a decoy key that pieces together data from `m` books, she needs some way to explain the remaining `n−m` books that were not used.

If I read it correctly, then the adversary might extract the data decrypted via the decoy key, and then reconstruct the encrypted payload using the extracted data and the decoy key. By comparing reconstructed encryption payload with the actual sample, it is easy for the adversary to figure out a better `m` to determine whether Alice is hiding something or not.

I assume the approach that the article is showing only works if the encrypted meaningful data is stored in a fix sized container (say a disk volume or a fix sized file) that is initialized with random data, so knowing the size of `n-m` doesn't matter.

> She could claim that,

It just don't work like this if the adversary knows that you have installed some encryption software on your system that allows you to decrypt different content with different passwords.

Just hide your real crypto wallet on one of your 10 years old HDD that still got Windows 7, Microsoft Office and Doom installed. Encrypt the wallet, then put it inside C:\Windows\System32 or similar and give it a system-like name such as `sysdump`.

After you've done that, make a fake crypto wallet and put it on a expensive USB drive, lock the drive in a safe, then hide the safe in a hole of your basement.

Egress filter before logging to Splunk people, hell if you can practice filtering better from the application itself.

> how does HTTPS help with that

Ignoring all the other benefits of HTTPS, it means you can securely transfer the password itself to the server, or a deterministic hash of the password which the server hashes again. Not to mention that you can use a stronger hashing algorithm, like bcrypt. There might be other ways to do this, but https is definitely the most practical.

> who cares if you need a rainbow table?

If the passwords are moderately strong and you are using a good hashing algorithm (that is salted), then creating a big enough rainbow table (or brute forcing) is intractable.

While the surrounding seabed can be a nice thermal sink to stabilize temperatures, the aggregate around it could be fairly good insulator, there are tubes in London that have warmed the underground to such an extent that it would take months to cool down. Understandably, lots of the heat in the London tunnels is from braking which shouldn't be occurring in this tunnel.

Point is, I don't think one could model the Fehmarnbelt tunnel as open air or assume that the surrounding material is an infinite heat sink.

Structured documentation is such a benefit toward this, and also such a controversy within teams.

Aside from the many standards for structure and the challenges of info architecture, there are a surprising number of technical writers who are hard to convince, or cannot be convinced, to write within any sort of structure or template. Either they have to be sold on it constantly, or cut loose or moved away from product docs and toward blogs or training materials.

A writer who can not only work within a structure but also can appreciate and leverage it is incredibly valuable to a docs team, and I believe the pipeline that develops candidates for technical writing doesn't prepare folks for how much weight this carries.

UTF-8 actually isn't the warty bit of Unicode. It's actually fairly reasonable[0], with the only downside being that you can't efficiently index strings by integer. If you exclusively use UTF-8 everywhere in your application, you will remain wart free.

UTF-16 is the warty bit. Why? Because it was designed to be a fixed-width encoding, under the assumption that 65,536 code points would cover all languages we needed. Well, spoiler alert: this wasn't enough, even with the mess that was UniHan. So they carved out a chunk of those code points from the 16-bit part of Unicode, called them "surrogate code points", and used them to extend UTF-16 into a variable-width encoding. Thus, they could have 16 planes of 65,536 characters each. They weren't valid characters beforehand, so obviously we could just repurpose them as flags for "astral" characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane. Simple, right?

Except that plenty of code to work with UTF-16 strings already existed, and assumed UTF-16 was a fixed-width encoding. If you chucked an astral character at it, it'd think it's two rather than one. It'll also happily split or rearrange astral characters into invalid sequences of codepoints. Furthermore, if you ask these systems for UTF-8, it'll happily encode the surrogates, leading to two nested layers of variable encodings.

Oh, and the two biggest users of UTF-16 were Windows NT and JavaScript. So we're absolutely stuck with fixed-length UTF-16 and the mangled WTF-8[1] encodings they will output until the end of time. Furthermore, if we ever do fill up the astral planes, we'll have to define superastral characters, which means having supersurrogate code points that will break modern UTF-16 again and make WTF-8 handling even more complicated.

[0] Unless you use MySQL, where someone decided to break UTF-8 early on and now there's "utf8mb4" to un-break it.

[1] UTF-8 which contains encoded UTF-16 surrogates, as defined in https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/

Dealing with jerks or being a jerk and experiencing the push back is part of normal social development and self-discovery. The article doesn't really mention why this is a bad thing, and just say that "this is exclusion, bad feeling, thus banned".

The commissions are still set based on how much the company wants to keep vs how much they want to compensate and motivate their sales people. They aren’t paid like regular employees, yes, if they don’t sell they don’t get paid. That is a bit more risk than we have to take on, and many sales people don’t make it for very long (as always, the ones we are aware of are filtered via survivor bias).
Both changing jobs and protesting are market discovery processes, but protesting is less disruptive, as people already know the code base, which is good both for them and for the company.
I sometimes wonder if we would be better off using a lot more formal methods and specifications. It would be a lot more effort, but is it really less than all the "maintenance" we do to fix bugs and wrangle huge amounts of technical debt?
