I use webmail, so haven't had any problems. Seems like something under `$HOME/.local`, or maybe its own dotdir, would be a better place for downloaded messages.
My last job, everything was a secret. Documentation was in people's minds. I was practically the only person who ever wrote public documentation for the team. Most people kept personal passworded one notes where they kept their own documentation.

Lets not even talk about beyond the necessities for a team. Salary? Oh boy was that ever secret. The one guy had an instant where he was oncall, major outage in the middle of the night and he didnt wake up to answer the alarms. Big client billionaire ceo demanded the guy be fired. Boss went around tell everyone that we were going to pretend he was fired, but he wasnt fired.

So naturally when this guy gets a new job, he tells everyone how much $ and benefits he's getting at the new job. He even tells people how much he used to be paid. People were freaking out. Minimu wage was $14 at the time and some senior sysadmins were only getting $22. LOL so many quit within a month or so.

It does sound kind of unpleasant, but I imagine you get used to it.
you're forgetting that those countries are not mere pawns...they have their own will and decided to join NATO and EU out of own accord, precisely because they knew how dangerous Russia is.
Probably won't be very much. Ukraine asked Musk and Musk enabled it. Neither one is going to get much value out of it.

This a feel-good measure on both sides for the most part. It takes time to ship all the hardware.
Also survivor bias.

You need a certain amount of wet for mold and mildew. Push the levers too far and you just end up with termites, or a failed foundation, and the whole thing gets replaced with something new.

The houses that have beaten their nemesis, water, are the ones most of us are willing to walk into more than twice.
I had family members who lived in a home in the deep south that was built before air conditioning was common. It had a large fan in the ceiling of a central hallway that vented the air from the inside the house out through the attic. This was an industrial grade fan that moved a huge volume of air.

At bedtime, they could open the bedroom windows and turn on the fan and a stiff wind would blow in through all the bedroom windows in the house.

That fan, along with window awnings and tall ceilings, really made a difference in how often they needed to use air conditioning, even near the Gulf of Mexico.
"If you want to wreck Russia what you should do is tell them to try and create a greater Russia. It will lead to no end of trouble. I think Putin is much too smart for that." - John Mearsheimer 2015

Wowza. That aged like milk. Really glad this guy didn't have a hand in our foreign policy. His apologist attitude towards autocrats is pretty gross too.

"I believe he is sowing divisions in The West that will manifest over time. If he is smart he will sit back and continue to pull levers as he has over the past year or so, and in the end ... he will get what he wants." - John Mearsheimer 2022

https://news.wttw.com/2022/02/21/us-impose-new-sanctions-ami...

Yep. I didn't know who John Mearsheimer was an hour ago, now I actively dislike him. Pretty impressive how consistently he's been wrong about Putin and his intentions over the years.
Doubt so. It is only 3rd day. USA had longer misadventure like Iraq 10 yrs and Afghan 20 years. As I recalled Powell, Bush Jr and Dick never being convicted for war crimes even though it was confirmed by many during those wars. Heck Obama directly slaughtered children and hospital with his bombs. Plus, Obama is the only known American president to order execution of American citizen without due course. When you have big guns, law doesn't apply. Imagine in an alternate world like Philip K Dick's High Castle, if Nazi Germany had won, Churchill would be the one hanged and mocked throughout history. One thing I did noticed, Putin is way more humane than American in Syria, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghan. I think Putin's target is really to decapitate the government. Unlike America of total destruction (go take a look in Syria, and Libya). Seems like he had sent in assasination squad of 10K Chechen to kill.
"Much simpler than webauthn" Is it? Trying out https://webauthn.io/, I can log in using a security key without hitting the command line and copy & pasting some base64 string.

"Private keys never leave end users' devices" How does it guarantee that, considering it saves the private key in the file system? It can be trivially copied off device from there.

The examples also appear to encourage key reuse, and since the challenge is the current time, the signed auth message can be replayed against any other site where the user set up using the same key.
One question this leaves me with is regarding other ANSI escapes. Would a user with NO_COLOR be okay with bold, invert, italic, underline, or other effects? I’m happy to add support for NO_COLOR to the tool I maintain, but I think this proposal should be more clear in this regard.

I would assume that COLOR implies that only color escapes should be disabled, but the description also mentions “plain” output.
Mold growth is actually slowed down by cold. Cold by itself would not grow mold, you'd need relatively high humidity and lack of ventilation. The home construction and regional climate determines how prevalent mold is.
You're replying to a post that lists Fukushima.
The title tag SHOULD occur in the head of a document[1]

The <title> element is always used within a page's <head> block.[2]

Just because browsers are compatible[3] doesn't mean what you're doing is right. Twitter does set a title tag and thus that tag should be within a head block. They are leaning on browser compatibility mode to cover the fact that they aren't adhering to standards.

I honestly don't know how to read that. Do you mean they think US law on money laundering is up to them? Or that a company like valve could reasonably get away with ignoring it?
Metric tonnes: People get confused if you just say tonnes because there are some traditional ton units that are of similar scale but different. So, "metric tonnes" avoids this confusion even when it isn't strictly necessary in written English.

If you're wondering why you'd measure hydrogen in tonnes at all, well, it's a measure of mass, you could tell people how many hydrogen atoms it is but that's some mind-bogglingly huge number so it just feels meaningless, a tonne of something you can imagine, even if doing so for hydrogen is a stretch.

Or maybe I missed what the question is.
Nah, that's bullshit, sorry. They hoped that UA will collapse inside 48 hours, but this didn't happen.

Not to say there aint no 6400 warheads. They, you know, require maintenance. 640 100kt range maybe.
right, would be better for the site to encrypt a one-time-use password with the public key you've, then all you have to do is decrypt it and log in, proving you possess the private key

does this have a name? always seemed like the obvious way to do it but I've never implemented auth

edit: I guess this is similar to a challenge/sign/verify signature scheme like webauthen, but is it inferior in some way?
Don't most terminal emulators allow you to set your own color palette? So what would show up as yellow text on a normal black background, you could change to show up as maybe as gold? Obviously it would mess with the meaning behind why the developer chose that particular color (like red errors, yellow or orange warnings) but I'm sure you'd get used to it.
Strangely, I've gotten slightly better performance out of an ordinary filesystem (XFS) than tmpfs. Perhaps filesystem caching is more performant at the moment? I've never really dug into the bowels of it. Any kernel FS gurus have an answer?
I love this mans work; even if getting it to run at 100% might see me an old man, if not me, then my children.
No it isn't. It's a means for Russia to export propaganda to the West. That's why we're in this mess.
So, this seems to be now as I suspected a massive blunder on the side of Putin, whatever his motivations, the US has really played well here, comparable to how Russia had played the US in Syria. The situation after the very risky offensive in Ukraine got stalled fairly quick.

On the mid to long-term: The US has now consolidated its power in the EU and effectively severed Russia from Europe/the West.
China can now take in Russia.

Edit: This just my quick assessment, I could be wrong. The war is still on going and I hope it ends quick.
Ethereum miners can help Ukraine
He did calculate the cost of this, and gave the order regardless. This is the most worrying part of the current events, because it implies that more is to follow, and not just in Ukraine.

As far as what is and isn't what's valuable, you're ignoring the ideological dimension. Putin's favorite philosopher is is Ivan Ilyin, whose take on politics was basically Eastern Orthodox fascism. Ukraine itself, to Russian nationalists, is the single largest chunk of land that is "rightfully theirs". If Putin can pull the invasion off, he'll be a hero with that crowd.
It does if it experiences any kind of a diurnal heating cycle from the sun.

What drives me insane is the UEFI shell using dark blue text for some things. That's impossible to read with a black background. The last place I want to squint and guess at what something says is when I'm applying a firmware update via a uefi tool, or un-foobaring a bootloader..
It only offered very limited military support. You entirely ignore that Castro came to power under a different pretext than communism but Cubans only learned this too late. Unfortunately Kennedy didn't give the air support needed. Cuba could have been in much better shape today.

Don't compare an authoritarian regime sending militias to conquer the territory of a democratic country to a democratic country training and supporting exiles to get rid of their tormentor. Intent matters.
Doesn’t seem to be true the reporter in question isn’t on the ground in Ukraine several reporters including a WSJ one have interviewed none Ukrainians that have passed through and none of them seemed to have been treated any differently than the rest of the crowd.
I suspect nuclear weapons are surprisingly useless for military purposes. They can flatten a city, but those who are underground may survive the blast and heat effects surprisingly well. The radiation is awful, but it comes mostly from fallout, and any attacking troops are as subject to that as the defenders.

I suppose a tactical nuke could be useful against a massed army formation, or blow a hole in a defensive line. But a force defending in depth doesn't present those kind of opportunities.

Nuclear weapons could be strategically important in their destruction of productive facilities and people, and their destruction of crucial point targets (such as an opponent's nuclear missiles). And of course they are enormously destructive and dirty. But they're mostly terror weapons.

And there are the enormous downsides of these things, which overwhelm any benefit they might accrue. There are reasons no one has used these things since WW II.

Chemical weapons are a different matter, and I am a little worried they may appear before this is all over.
> Even though it's not present here, I dislike the rhetoric that seems to portray such organisms as "scary" distinct parts from our bodies(especially when talked in the media).Without these microbes we would have a lot of problems adapting to our environment, if one could even exist without them.

This depends on the climate zone you’re in. In drier climates, some HVAC systems are actually humidifiers which blow the outside dry/hot air through a wet membrane (ex., desiccant) and blow out wetter/cold air.
Yes, it is. It's an extremely weak statement in support of the idea. In particular, it doesn't argue that it is cheaper than alternatives. If that's the best you can come up with, the idea is unsupportable.
No side projects yet, but I chose to learn Pharo [0] because I believe it'll make me hyper productive for certain side projects [1]. The reason: I use the debugger and REPLs a lot when programming. Pharo is a language with a debugger + REPL + language reflection tools on steroids. Also, I want to see up close what Alan Kay went on and on about.

From what I've seen, Pharo has a few things that would make Bret Victor proud. But it's still early days for me, I'm still getting the hang of the language.

And while the language is obscure there seems to be at least one SaaS company that is hiring for remote European software engineers [2]. There are some other examples, but IMO [2] seems to be the best one among all the examples [3].

Agreed. A solar panel and heat pump keeps your whole house comfortable. It seems like a no brainer.
> Why wouldn't the learning curve apply to nuclear power?

You would think so.

Which is why nuclear's apparent negative learning curve in the west is such a surprise. https://archive.thinkprogress.org/does-nuclear-power-have-a-...

"Apparently negative learning curve" means from the raw data it is each plant is getting more expensive to build. Worse, when they analyse it, the main driver behind the cost increases doesn't appear to be government regulation or politics. It's all about construction and supply issues.

I can't help but think that in post industrial societies, maybe we are getting worse at building things.
What medical business is like this? You don't need to be a doctor to own or run a hospital or pharma company.

The legal business is like this however. I'm fairly certain that, offices must be owned by lawyers. The thought being that if a law office was owned by a non-lawyer you'd have a conflict of interest if your boss told you to do something illegal or unethical.
It could be geographic considerations. The USSR/Warsaw Pact had pretty secure boarders, but that ended when the Soviet Union fell apart. If Putin can get control of Ukraine, that would put the Carpathian mountains between him and an invasion from southern Europe.

Northern Europe is still wide-open terrain, but if can get control of the Baltics and eastern Poland, he can constrict land invasion routes to the bottleneck between Kaliningrad and Slovakia. Getting control of Kazakhstan (which, not coincidentally, is also suddenly awash with Russian troops) would similarly give him the ability to dominate other formerly Soviet countries and put mountains between Russia and invasion from the south.
I still prefer color for matching quotes in editors. And they're useful in tui programs like cmus and tmux. And git add -p. That's about it for me though. I don't find it helpful in the output of package managers, ffmpeg, etc. It's clown vomit that makes things even harder to read imo.

This env var wasn't a universal enough solution the last time I tried it, so I just set almost all my term colors except red (for the quote matching) to black.

On the whole I'm really put off by the aesthetics of programming. The default still seems to be very "gamer": dark mode, neon everything—I can practically smell the Mtn Dew through my screen sometimes.
Renewables need buffering capacity, indeed

Or decentralized battery packs.
By trying new languages, I learn different ways of doing things and different ways of thinking. Basically it's a way of uncovering the unknown unknowns, be less of a Blub-programmer. It also makes me a better programmer in my day-job-or-other language.

The main reason I do it though is simply because it's fun to see new and different things. I'm very much a programming language and frameworks/libraries tourist. Of the languages I've tried, F# comes closest to seeming like it could be good for general use, if only it was more popular and had a killer framework or application space (like Scala for Spark). I think it gets overlooked because of its MS/.NET origin and OCaml folks either don't care for it or are small in number.
> I ran OS X on day one of the public beta, on a blue and white iMac, and I don't recall its performance being bad (apart from the absence of sound). I remember it being amazing

It was amazing and dog slow. It wasn’t until the Intel transition that OS X was on par with classic on “snappiness” for me.

Even if a G3 was probably dozens of times faster than a 68k, the window server was doing so much more drawing there was really no competition. Every single menu and window were composited in real time with transparency and drop shadows. Phew.

I remember running a patcher app (haxies, shadow killer, something like that) to remove all drop shadows and make the damn thing usable.
> "recovering from his pancreatic cancer diagnosis scare"

I feel it's important to say here -- for all those with pancreatic cancer or who have lost loved ones to a shockingly awful cancer and who keep hearing about Steve Jobs beating the odds for all that time, that he didn't have a scare.

He had actual pancreatic cancer.

It's just that he was (a tiny bit) luckier with one of the rare diagnoses that has a very high degree of treatability, and as a result vastly better five year survival odds.

But he didn't so much recover as delay treatment unnecessarily for alternative therapies, and nutrition.

(Having lost a relative to less treatable pancreatic cancer, learning of this gamble made me furious at him at the time and still really does)

The treatment he might possibly have avoided with earlier targeted intervention but ultimately received (the Whipple procedure) is effective but brutal, and the long term knock-on effects of that procedure affected him as they do almost everyone; needing a liver transplant as he did has a very high probability among Whipple patients.

(He actually misled investors about the seriousness of his illness when people surmised that he was experiencing the longer-term side effects of his procedure.)

An aside: as much as people like to claim Tim Cook doesn't have Jobs's guts or heart or bravery, he literally offered his boss a part of his own (compatible) liver to save his life. Tim Cook is brave and honourable.
The number of people in this site that can't accept that half of the transactions was fraudulent is astounding.

If you're in the space, going "well actually" in every article critical of blockchain based finance doesn't help your mission at all. Ultimately you're just making up excuses for the toxic parts of the system.
A flagrant invasion of this scale has not been seen since World War II

Were you asleep in 2003 when The US invaded Iraq? Or in 2001 when the US invaded Afghanistan? Or in 1965 when the US invaded Vietnam? Or in 1950 when North Korea and the US invaded South Korea? Or all the other invasions all over the world since 1945?
XDG I believe is the name of the standard.

So living at parents place and then visiting only a few days... Makes perfect sense, but it is in no way cheating landlords.
You've never had a program ANSI puke into a sink that expressly is not a terminal and expects only plain text -- for example, an Emacs buffer. Tired of setting magic flags on Maven to suppress color output when I do M-x compile, for instance.
It's an okay-ish alternative to a password, but if we're going to use cryptographic secrets for auth, I'd hope to see more of a handshake and challenge-response involved.

As it stands, anyone who has access to a private key momentarily can generate any number of tokens for use, practically indefinitely (just sign a timestamp for every second for the next N years). This system is open to replay attacks as well.

It also glosses over the entire problem of trust establishment, cert revocation, etc.
That looks like a great idea. It roots out wooly thinking and ambiguity. English is rather ... flexible. This standard does not really "simplify" English but really "codify" it - the standard needs a better name!

"before acceptance" vs "before you accept": These are quite subtly different. The first form really means passivity (something is done to you) and the second implies activity (I do something). Now, both forms are routinely used to mean the same thing but the second is correct in this case.

"carry out" vs "you must do": the first form only implies who does what. The second form spells out exactly who does what.

Alas, the standard will always lose out. Trying to pick English words with fewer meanings is always going to fail (tap - lol!) near vs close is not a useful distinction. Near can mean light years depending on context but close nearly always means within arm reach, a hair' breadth or whatever, except when it doesn't.

I think a better approach would avoid words like "close" or "near" - they are subjective. "Do not approach to within 5m of the landing gear" is objective and easy to understand. A formal risk assessment should surely find the right distance.

In many fields of Engineering, as soon as you find yourself using wooly mensuration terminology instead of clearly defined terms, you are probably gearing up for a funeral.
>It’s a trivial name change

Tell that to a decade of tooling, training and documentation.

I don't necessarily have a problem with the change, but I wish people would quit telling me it's nothing.

It's not the end of the world or anything, but next time someone who's trying to coast by with the least git knowledge possible (90% of the office) needs help because of this, or is just frustrated that there's another complication they have to remember should I tell them it's "a trivial name change"? I might as well say "it's just a directed acyclic graph of revisions." That's also technically true, but I might as well tell them to go fuck themselves. [1]
