> However, maybe a release or two of deprecation or better optimized defaults under new names or a new (kinda gross but...) strict mode which is opt-in but is the new default for new instalations.

Something like this or a \version "2.12.0" command would be massively useful. The alternative is a sea of undisclosed footguns that are blindingly obvious once you know they exist but otherwise are well-camouflaged. Ok, the other alternative is for every future developer to brainlessly spam a long incantation of sensible values that they swear they'll learn about later just so a Fortune 500 early-adopter company can have smoother upgrades.

With all of these complaints about app size I have to wonder: why has everyone heralded the era of static linking?
They can produce more chips from the same wafer if they just produce smaller chips. I think doing this is stupid in the long run.

This is not the most relevant tradeoff. The United App is the only way to watch in-flight entertainment on many United Flights (esp. on newer planes without seatback screens). Every time I fly United, they make an announcement that says "Make sure to download the app before we take off because you can't do it once we're in the air!" and then I see everyone whip out their phones and tablets. Usually that's 10m or so before we lose cell reception and it's often not enough time to fully download the app.

I've often thought that they either need to cache the app locally on the plane itself or provide a special free passthrough on the in-flight wifi, but so far they haven't provided either. In any case, app size is crucially important for the key use case that many (most?) people use the United App.
Trademarks are use it, protect it, or lose it. AI not acting on blatant trademark infringement might see them losing their trademarks.
When I lived with roommates back in 2010, I had an idea that we should always have a stew going - I called it 'constant stew' - it would be cheap and we would eat it with rice, which was also easy and quick to make. Little did I know it is actually a thing.

As for food safety, I've had weeks where I left my food bowl unwashed and I just kept putting new food from it. I got the idea from Ken Ilgunas, my favorite blogger of all time:

www.kenilgunas.com/2009/02/eating-part-i-cooking-in-van.html

Even the crust of eggs, finished meat dishes, etc would be left out at room temperature for the next day's meal. Never had a problem, as far as I recall. Unfortunately I'm no longer single so this habit did not endure.

In their earlier days, the ENOSPCE bug corrupts the filesystem.

If you do a heavy random write workload, it fills up the disk pretty quickly and require a re-balance _before_ ran out of space.

Of cause you can do nocow on those files, but than it lost all the checksuming/snapshotting features.
That would be so, so cool. I don't see this happening for a while unless a CAD vendor works with us but definitely where I see this tech.
App, OS and other file sizes are big deals in bandwidth-constrained environments. Canada has a number of remote communities with satellite uplinks, so every update means the whole town needs to download them independently.

While some cos have “appliances” that ISPs can install that’ll dramatically reduce back haul bandwidth usage, I’m unaware of any that make any that work for a small community or aircraft. SSL really impacted the use of general-purpose proxies to save bandwidth. Maybe more torrent-based schemes for app stores and others could fill this gap.

> Apple also supports incremental downloads, meaning you can download a “diff” of app binaries in some cases (also amazing!), but this is even harder to measure on an actual device. In my case I was trying to download the United app for the first time on a runway before my flight took off.

What would be interesting is if Apple did this diff between apps, since I’m sure a lot share frameworks and other bits.

Hi there,

I just wanted to let you know that the email confirmation link I received indicates my link has expired when it has been no more than a few minutes.
Most people are using 2FA either because it was mandated (e.g. most of the systems at work have mandatory 2FA) or because they were strongly urged to use 2FA even though they don't really care.

The problem here, as with all phishing, is that humans are easily fooled. But machines aren't fooled about this at all. Just have the machines make this critical decision and the problem evaporates, use WebAuthn to do 2FA. This makes life easier for humans because it is no longer their responsibility to try to figure out if they're being phished, WebAuthn solves that, back to my game of Wordle.

You may well be right - and, to the point of your explanations about the dynamic, the sentiment definitely seems to have shifted - which is great!

The data is a bit stale right now, since there's a new dump available and I haven't converted it yet. But it's pretty easy to set up. Just grab a zim-file from here[1] and unpack with an appropriate library with an optional step of parsing and transforming the DOM then save into gzipped html files and set up a server for unpacking and serving those.

The conversion job takes a few days but it's not that bad.

I'm confused why you need a global total game-time anyways, or if you have one why it has to be precise. Could you use your precise time in float, and then increment a larger but less-precise total gametime value every 10 minutes?

Yes, but he only can do that to American companies/companies that do business here. He can't tell, say, the Swiss to keep the Russians' money.

There's a difference between "Money market funds, banks, stock exchanges, and every other financial institution can be frozen instantaneously by the U.S. President to 'prevent another financial collapse'" as thread OP mentioned and what you're talking about. I was addressing only systematic action for the sake of averting economic problems, not financial uses of national security power.

For INDIVIDUALS, you're absolutely correct.

Which is why I'm a large proponent of local currencies.

(Trust me, I understand. I'm a very confused Ukranian-American who would like to go back to not being relevant.)
I'm a bit torn, as on the one hand, I'm squarely in the target demo and appreciate the huge amount of work that has gone into the project, and the PPD is really exciting. (back in 2015 I actually started building my own VR workspace software https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNtZmCDyEyU with an Oculus DK2 but shelved it for other projects waiting for better HMD hardware that never arrived). But sadly, I fear that if I ordered a Simula, it might end up years late, half-baked, and sitting on the shelf like my LibreM 5 and many other open source hardware projects I've backed. (Also the ergonomics of the HMD really makes me a iffy on whether it can be worn comfortably for extended periods.)

I also think it's also somewhat bad timing, since HMD hardware releases are finally picking up. Panasonic's MeganeX, which uses 2560x2560 120Hz micro-OLEDs, is finally being released in the spring for <$1000 after being first shown 2 years ago (and there seem to be lots of similar micro-OLED HMDs in the pipeline from various Chinese manufacturers). Also, even though the PPD is much lower, there's stuff like the Lynx R1 coming out shortly that will also have full OpenXR support, is committed to privacy and staying independent, and has number of things that makes it more useful as a platform for all-day wear and hacking on: an ultra-thin flip-up form factor, 6DoF SLAM, UltraLeap hand tracking, eye tracking, and has already-working overlay AR (w/ 20ms camera-eye pipeline).
Partly true, but this doesn't apply to many rewritten tools, like cat or ls where memory safety bugs are tolerable

OK, this is all well and good, and may be accurate... But this article is talking exclusively about the shape the butter is formed into. It doesn't have anything at all to do how it's made, or what ingredients it uses, or where it comes from.
Hey! I'm Dan. I made Hey Cadence.

Sometime around last year I realized I had no idea what was going on in the companies in my portfolio -- if something bad happened I wouldn't know about it until it was too late. This I thought was somewhat irresponsible.

I also have about 12-16 companies, which makes it impractical to be constantly looking for news on all of them. So I got a news aggregator set up, then condensed news so it only gave the highlights, and then turned it into audio so I can listen to it -- usually only a couple minutes long.

I currently listen to it in the mornings, and if something catches my ear, I search on Google if I want more details. I've found it pretty good for keeping an eye on things, and I hope you might find some use in it as well.

Cheers!
In my opinion, the lesser of two evils in this case is not compelling business owners to perform services they object to. The US has a capitalist economy - if there is money to be made building gay wedding websites, then someone will almost certainly fill that niche and out-compete those who don't.

Going the compulsory route is going to lead to decreased religious freedoms and increased social discord between the secular and religious demographics of the country, IMO.
If you closely study Twitter's actions (How did that Arab Spring turn out for everybody?), or read about the InQtel origins of google (Assange's "Google Is Not What It Seems"), or how the Israelis blasted the Palestinians with porn during a siege (the OnlyFans economy!), you will see that it is still very much a weapon.

Of the actual innovations in this field, how many came from defense (DOD, CIA, NSA, ARPA, & their contractors), and how many came from pornography?

The heat! When we cook (especially during hot days) it gets especially hot in the kitchen. I think continuously simmering would increase the ambient temperature.

Also many families (including mine) still uses gas stove so the constants gas increases nitrous oxide levels which is harmful for health [0]

This is super powerful. While I see the immediate value in this for simplifying applications, I can also see this becoming a powerful tool for data analysts & data engineers in speeding up their "time to insight".

I've had (early in their career) analysts report to me that struggle writing optimal queries across relational, non-relational, & graph DBs (they're usually great at one & mediocre on others). This will be a huge for them & our stakeholders who rely on them to get them trustworthy insights.
Great idea! Sad that these type of things need to exist.

The site details the cost to attack using rented 3rd party compute. For some of the coins, there is enough compute out there that can simply be rented with no upfront capex/opex involved on the part of the person doing the renting.

The problem with that is that the rental market is an open bid supply/demand market. The second you start to rent out enough hashrate, the rental price also increases. That isn't factored into the numbers.

You are correct that the cost of capex/opex for ETH/BTC is in the billions, which is also what makes them so secure and attacking the network would also destroy the network. It is a brilliant feedback loop.
> There's plenty of us that use Signal and aren't terrorists or extremists.

That is my point. The road to hell is paved with good intentions isn't it?

Except that on Signal, it has gotten better for terrorists, extremists and criminals with E2EE, and a private, unregulated, untraceable cryptocurrency (MobileCoin) which they can use to fund their activities.

> Do you drive a car or use cash? Terrorists do those things also.

The authorities can easily trace them up with their number plate and catch them trying to move that physical cash anywhere and it can be seized off of them.

Why would they want to go a high risk of losing it all when Signal + E2EE + MobileCoin sounds more of an attractive very low risk route and extremely untraceable form of communication for them to continue to fund their illegal activities from anywhere in the world?

"bad complexity vs benefit trade"

that makes me think of "C compiler" (actually C89 with benign bits of c99/c11) vs "c++ compiler", or "javascript web browser" vs "noscript/basic (x)html browser".

It's interesting that the article itself isn't written in plain language, using idioms such as "posing a barrier" and many others which, according to a strict application of these rules, should be removed in favor of plainer forms [EDIT: as others have pointed out, I completely missed that you can switch the whole article to simple style. How embarrassing!]

I agree with some simplifications, e.g. "profoundly deaf" is essentially meaningless and bad style, it adds nothing over simply saying "deaf", but most other instances of paraphrased and simplified text miss something. Saying "a couple dozen" is natural language, this is how regular humans speak. What is gained by removing flavor and natural idioms from language?

To me, a lot of these simplifications sound like removing natural language and replacing it with something written by a robot, or where the target audience are children or non-native speakers. The text loses its flavor while aiming to be as simple to understand as possible; that's not a tradeoff I would choose in the majority of situations.
Wow this is really neat. Simple yet effective.

I would highly discourage including a keyboard or mouse. If you are already spending $2700 on a VR computer I suspect you already have a keyboard or mouse you prefer or want to invest in a setup of your choice. No point in creating eWaste to drive home the point that this is a computer. And to that point you say that they need to emphasize that it is a computer and not just another headset (to the point of saying included a keyboard and mouse), but then bring up their use of terminal windows in their marketing (I agree though they should show other things as you suggested)?

Two of your points in your comment seem to be lambasting the fact SimulaVR aren't advertising towards the lowest common denominator of people buying tech. It is a $2700 computer and display. Who exactly, that would ever actually purchase this device, would not understand it is a computer (or that it can come with one if you aren't doing stand alone), or not realize that if it can be used in a coffee shop it can be used in a home office?
> have an encryption key stored on a separate device and so what is stored in 1Password is encrypted (by you) can only be decrypted with your physical key.

I think this is basically what I want, where my whole account is encrypted using my 1pass master password, and then a subset of it is also protected by my YubiKey.

I can definitely do this manually, but it's a pretty huge pain. I wish it was built in to the desktop client. I'm not really worried about 1Password being malicious; I'd believe them if they said the client was doing all this client side and not storing the additional password.

It was fascinating to see just how quickly some of the Russian propaganda has been debunked.. a group of technically savvy Twitter users just dismembering claim after claim as obvious false flag nonsense.

My favorite so far;

Russian media reports Ukrainian 'saboteurs' were targeting chlorine storage near Donestk and air a video of the alleged attack. They release the raw video and it's immediately shown that the video was created several days earlier based on metadata (https://twitter.com/bellingcat/status/1494994802705850368)

After which, people go further and tease apart the video where they discover the name of a youtube video with audio of very similar sounding explosions -- so they do spectral analysis and prove that it's the same audio overlaid on the stupid propaganda video: https://twitter.com/AugustGraham/status/1495069297911156740

I'm surprised at how clumsy the propaganda has been so far. E.g. this farcical video of Russian journalists being "shelled" by Ukrainians: https://twitter.com/jakluge/status/1496521293126066181

It's hard to gin up a war these days -- pics of a Ukrainian SU-24 being towed toward the front lines, presumably to be claimed as shot down while attempting to attack Russian or Belarusian troops; https://twitter.com/nevedimka123/status/1496523365112238080
Not to cast too broad a brush, but humans are really good at rationalizing things and denying their true motivations.

Sure, there are some true believer libertarian cryptonerds still living the original dream.

I suspect, though, that for every "true believer" out there with actual deeply held beliefs about financial systems, you'll find countless others in it purely to ride the wave and speculate, who learn just enough of the jargon to befuddle objections in casual conversation.
