Vitamin B12 is made by bacteria, it's in all dirt, and untreated water. You absorb it through your skin. It's pretty easy to see how it wasn't long ago that we would be having an abundance of vitamin b12 from everywhere.

Cows don't make it, they eat it in soil. Which, actually, because most of them are factory farmed, they are fed the supplement. Nothing natural about that; in fact, you're just skipping the middle-man and cruetly.

"But I only eat grass-grazed happy cows!" Good for you! Now how about a solution that can work for everyone.

You want to know what the real next pandemic is. It's going to come from the unbelievable abuse of antibiotics the meat industry is responsible for. Medicine will be set back a century.
I think it's pretty impactful but people don't like to talk about it or even think about it explicitly. Rather, what people observe is that the really rich companies seem to mostly make their money by selling online services or like Apple, by selling hardware. As the latter is very difficult and often unjustifiable for what could be a pure software solution, people just come to associate cloud service=success and it the underlying factors become under-analyzed.

I think they also realize that whilst geeks will kick up a stink about "DRM" when it's done client side, the exact same thing implemented by a firewall and server rules draws no attention. So it's seen as more socially respectable, although in reality of course, software+DRM gives much better privacy than a cloud service ever can.

In reality of course, lots of very rich companies make offline or mostly offline software. Microsoft, Oracle, SAP etc. But they're unfashionable.
The roots seem to be very different:

-- if 'masculus' comes from (Sanskrit) 'marya', then it means "a mortal". The implicit meaning is evident in the more direct Latin form "maritus" (see English 'to marry'), the husband, meaning "you now have a role in which you shall behave aware of your mortality - i.e., as an "adult"".

-- 'femina' comes from the nourishing ability of giving milk, ex 'felo' (the act of sucking, related to "fecunditas" (the condition that allows it - implying the ability to host a "fetus") and giving "felicitas" ("happiness" in the typical derived meaning, of the /pleasant/ occasion)).

But easily, 'male' and 'female' then adapted to similar form being used for polar concepts.

Alright, if you'd rather insult me than put any elaboration onto how "writing is a form of teaching", that's your prerogative.

To be clear, it's easy to see how your post connects to the post you're replying to. The problem is that internally, your post is not fleshed out at all, and it's not clear how you came to the conclusion that writing and teaching should be interchanged in this context.
Sometimes, I find it is easier to make your base case broader and bruteforce it one by one when you couldn't get it right. For example, when I tried to exploit RSA parity oracle I couldn't find the right answer when it is narrowed to the smallest range for some unknown reason. Changing the loop condition to `while right-left>1000` works pretty well if you don't want to debug it more.

hmm yeah I dunno, I don't think my boss was 'virtue signalling' by asking me to replace instances of 'invalid'.

I suspect by 'virtue signalling' you mean he was angling to impress me with how virtuous he was. (because the users never saw my code before the audit)

Why would he try to impress me? or think it would?

I never noticed the quixotic reaction against perceived 'virtue signalling' until sometime this century, and that code audit was back in the 90s.

I'm not certain but I do think it was actually prompted by a previous experience with a confused user who had the word printed on a receipt and mistakenly thought the term referred to them!
Digital doesn't imply good. It isn't better than MP3, it's typically 80kbps or less. 48 is not uncommon. It's no better than AM, it's only made sound superficially good with fake high frequencies and often fake stereo. But it's bad. There is just no way to fit that much data into the same channel. You would have to blast it with MW strong transmitters, which would make it much more expensive.

Analog radio is efficient, and there never was such a dearth of channels like with TV. It would be easy to pack in more channels, FM was chosen for quality.
> He was all too familiar with that precarious balance. In 2008, he had tried to commit suicide by taking enough codeine to kill two people, but he'd woken up the next morning with only a headache—his body had absorbed it all.

I am nearly speechless. Suicide is no joke, but assuming the story here is true, it's kind of remarkable that a person's morbid obesity saved them from death in such an ironic way. If he was at a lower end of obesity he might not be alive today.

Does anyone here have background knowledge to know whether this story is plausible? I could swear I've heard that the thing about body mass affecting the effectiveness of medication was a myth, but I'm not sure where I heard it.
Why is it problematic (BM?) to leave out that detail? It's irrelevant to the argument TechDirt is making, which is a general one.

All the date means is that when the iPhone platform had poorly implemented DRM, piracy rates could approach nearly 100% for some types of app. Since then Apple improved their DRM and nowadays iOS devs don't worry about piracy so much. Seems like a disproof of TechDirt's thesis.
That's true. To really waste time on the internet, you had to go Googling or hit Slashdot.
There was purported present-day footage on tiktok of the control room of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine that has just been captured by Russian forces. It looks like this.

One Dalai Lama had created a "reverse secret police" whose job it was to spy on officials.

India's approach is technological, like the Aadhar biometric system to ensure financial aid payments are not embezzled by corrupt officials. Some cultures like Scandinavia have managed to develop a zero-tolerance approach to corruption, like the minister who had to resign because she used her government credit card to buy a chocolate bar.
> In 2014 India ranked 85th out of 175 countries in Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index, compared to its neighbors Bhutan (30th), Bangladesh (145th), Myanmar (156th), China (100th), Nepal (126th), Pakistan (126th) and Sri Lanka (85th).

One thing I find confusing with this ranking is that it can easily be interpreted as "India is the 85th more corrupted country (or perceived as so) in the world". In reality, it’s a reversed ranking: the higher rank you get the more corrupt you’re perceived as. This means that, excluding Bhutan, India is less perceived as corrupt than any of its neighbors. The first 3 countries in that ranking in 2021 were Denmark, Finland and New Zealand.
All of the difference between when I made $150K to around $225K came from RSUs. The ones I get the first half of the year are taxed at 40% (12.4% FICA, 2.4% Medicare, 22% Federal, 6% state). The second half don’t get taxed for FICA. That made the difference in our lifestyle.

Just for clarification, we pay the employer’s side of FICA on RSUs and I am soon moving to a state that doesn’t tax income.

But why is there a belief that you work harder to get paid more? It was a lot more work being a senior dev/de facto “cloud architect” at a 60 person company where everyone look to me for guidance (in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king) than it is being a mid level consultant at a 1.6 trillion dollar company.
Exactly, because a tip of 15% isn't a nice extra it's a part of the worker's expected wages.

American workers who can't receive tips in practice don't need to be paid the minimum wage, for example. (In theory there's a process to correct if theyre still below it after tips, but in practice that's regularly flouted).
"Comparatively small" is doing a lot of lifting, there. What about Flash was "comparatively small" compared with Safari, and why does that let Safari of the hook for its vulnerabilities compared with Flash?
Yeah, I'd love to see him punished, but I'm totally fine to see him retired Napoleon-style, if that ensures a quick end to this and possibly even freedom for Russia.

For Russia, the best way out would definitely be to get rid of Putin and replace him with somebody the international community likes, who respects democracy, peace, and has as little ties to Putin's regime or his oligarchs as possible. Maybe someone like Gary Kasparov.
You're quite in denial here. User's story is true, and as he explained the effect was "overnight". You're trying to claim that an effect that happened instantly, the moment he removed the DRM, is to do with long term industry trends. But that wouldn't happen instantly.

It's pretty obvious that well implemented DRM works. If it didn't then it would have died out a long time ago. See how much effort the games console makers put in, despite it being a highly competitive market with extreme pricing pressure. Yet, they do compete on the quality of their DRM because game studies are responsive to it.
An old Romanian MiG aircraft crashed recently (during a demo completely unrelated to the war). Then the helicopter trying to look for survivors also crashed, and there were a lot of deaths.

The cause suspected so far is ice buildup. Flying is dangerous in such cold weather.

Senior engineers can solve technical problems juniors can't. Senior engineers can provide technical leadership and ensure juniors don't get lost. Seniors are great at product management so keeps your product on track instead of wasting time building features you don't need.

At least one of the above or similar things. The important part here is to not think that you need anything in particular to be a senior engineer, there are lots of ways to grow the value you bring to a team and it is much better to have a diversity of senior engineer types than to focus on any one kind.
Your link doesn't suggest that paper voting doesn't work, it suggests that india is a corrupt nation that couldn't manage to enforce its monopoly on violence during that time. You could in principle also just beat up everyone in the vicinity of the booth, steal their digital voting access and vote for them.

You can't hack a container filled with pieces of paper.
And this kind of discourse framing the side you consider hysterical as "the mask-mandate crowd" is just playing into the exact thing you are criticising.

So I'm very sure we all need to look ourselves in the mirror.
Unless I've made an arithmetic error, those two American-sized beers (12oz each, 700ml of beer total) contain 35g of alcohol, and the American glass of wine (6oz, or 175ml) has 22.75g. Less alcohol than the two beers, but still more than most people should have on a daily basis.
I think the article uses the terms narrow and broad as they were used at the time. This is before there was any standard!

1435mm is called "standard gauge" in Britain.
Oddly accurate.
Why would you want to write a custom web server instead of using the existing ones? Performance reasons? Or is there really functionality that is missing from the existing ones?
Have you watched the video, this guy linked? It basically tries this, from the perspective of a linux beginner switching from windows.

It is 15 minutes, if nothing goes wrong and you know what you are doing. If something goes wrong and you are not native with the terminal - good luck.
On the other hand, flash was being used by everyone, windows, mac, linux, mobile... Safari was just being used by mac users. Les users, less bugs found.
I respectfully disagree.

The Apple docs suggest to app developers that when closing the last window, the app should be made to close automatically. This is almost certainly what the user wants, unless you have a reason to think otherwise.

For example, as per my other comment, if I have restore tabs in my browser, I expect the tabs of the last open window to always be restored. Instead of this being a suggestion, it should be the default, and the developer should have to configure when they want the last window to NOT close the app. (Even Apple's Safari suffers from this!)

Also, Win has a dock for "background" apps which are always open, accessible, but not in the toolbar of open apps. Apple has a menubar, that similarly allows docking of those apps that are open without a window. My rule of thumb - if you don't think the app belongs in the menu, you want it to close when the last window closes. And if Apple had a "minimize to menu" that might be useful.

I don't think this is an unfair gotcha. If you have u32 for low and high, and someone gives you an array with 4 billion entries, you can return the correct value if you compute the midpoint correctly.
Corruption in India like in many excolonies was once a morally legitimate way to escape draconian colonial barriers to basic rights.

As India has continued to inherit these institutions it would be hard to just reform it, it would have to completely replace it with digitization and stripping laws of unnecessary complexities.

At least the center had made great progress wiping out entire sections of colonial era laws.
Not all knowledge you mastered could help you finding a job. But some of them will help you to become a better engineer.

I used to learn clarinet for several years when I was yong. And I learned to code a simple CPU core with VHDL and FPGA when I was in college. And now I’m writing C# in healthcare industry.
I may never write such kind of experience in my resume. But that helps me when I write projects on waveform editing, or to understand what is “parallel”.

So I separate my knowledge for two part. One is something I need to get a job, the other is something I interest in. Which may helps you in future or not. But you enjoy the time in it.

As for this book, it is useless especially when you are writing some stupid web server in a programming language like Java or C#. But just my interest about optimization.
As a European - just put it on the bill in the first place.

I will happily give 15-20% tips for great service, but that is a additional and is given freely - not what is to be expected.
This looks more like an RSS reader app for some major news sites tbf.

Fyi, there are various "start site" services that let you customize RSS feeds, together with other items like to-do lists, market charts, weather,... considering how many things can be turned into an RSS feed (HN, YT channels, podcasts,...), you've got a pretty well-rounded source of news if you invest a bit of time into the setup, which is actually fun. I've set up a site on start.me five years ago and been using it ever since.
And to think - he was perfectly placed to be on the right side of this thing, doing national cybersecurity.

As an idealistic, naive teenager, I agreed with him and thought him a hero. I've gotten older and changed my views.

Yet he's attached his whole life to his. I wonder what he really thinks now?
> Look at how Nvidia already locks nouveau developers out of using their GPUs' full power with cryptography.

The problem is not cryptography, the problem is copyright.

Nouveau could in theory upload the signed firmware blob from a legitimate driver to the GPU and build an interface to communicate with it. The problem is, the legitimate driver package prohibits any kind of modification outside the intended purpose, which means it's questionable if building and redistributing a tool to extract the firmware blob out of a driver package is legal, and it's certainly not legal to redistribute that extracted blob.

Here in Europe, at least the building and distribution of the tool as well as the act of the user to download the legitimate driver package, extract and use the blob should be legal, but that doesn't help if the developers of the project are outside of the EU :(

This should really be titled "Introduction to WebGL". The GL programming model is very different from what's actually going on under the hood. GL it at best a faint reminder of how GPUs worked during the 90's.

You can't beat corruption in the same way you can't beat crime. If you leave it alone, it gets far worse, though.

We do have corruption on that level - some of my relatives worked in construction, and they'd just set aside money to bribe everyone. There's money and hookers for project managers. There's money for fire inspections. There's money set aside for to pay police and family members if someone dies. It's treated like a fine. There's code words, like when someone says their phone keeps running out of battery and can't call back, it means that they expect a new iPhone.

It's all fine until the prime minister siphons billions off the sovereign wealth fund. Cleaning up corruption is a lot of work, and often the process has a lot of unexpected ripples. Often it can't be cleaned up without a revolution, sometimes a violent one.
Has he made any statement or blog posts since the invasion?
This is a common misunderstanding, the deal was either return Soviet nuclear weapons to Russia or get invaded by both NATO and Russia to return the nukes by force. Ukraine never had the ability to control or use them and there are no lasting international protection guarantees.
Maybe "full potential" could have multiple meanings. For example, one user might focus on hardware performance^1 while another might focus on hardware flexibility. Freedom, doing whatever it is they wish with the hardware they have purchased.

Some "legit" senders only have a "snipe"-unsubscribe: you can only unsubscribe from a given "list", which often has just one message.

That very same link states that "a carefully composed vegan diet" can be beneficial. Thats my point -- with a vegan diet you have to be much more conscientious about nutrition. Many people are not. With your average healthy omnivorous diet, you rarely have any significant nutrient deficiencies that you have to worry about. Said diet ends up being simpler to implement in practice. That's what I mean by careful management; A healthy vegan diet for children is not impossible, but it takes more effort.

And in many cases, there wasn't a choice but to vote for it.

If you are struggling because your 40 hour workweek won't let you rent apartment and you live in the US, who are you going to vote for to fix it? Probably no one, since you realistically only have a bianary choice and neither side seems to have the will to fix this. (Both major parties in the US have had majorities, yet haven't helped folks. This has been a growing issue for years). Sure, you can run for office, but it'll take years before you are in a position to hopefully help - and even that is going to depend on you having other progressive folks in office to vote with you. Otherwise, you are simply "raising awareness", which does little to help folks pay for their food.

Cool! I suspect that you can do some reshuffling to avoid using any locks when serving cache hits. Also, if you want to serve large files or live video, it may be cool to be able to have the coalesced requests send body bytes to the client before the upstream request is finished. I implemented this feature at one (non-varnish-based) CDN, and other (varnish-based) CDNs seem to support it for some subset of configurations.

I always understood the "inherit" part as "Who can find and patch the security vulnerabilities that affect his clients?". And since Flash was a closed source 3rd party plugin, it meant that the Safari team is dependent on them. Both for discovery and fixing bugs. Meanwhile, HTML5 and each Browser's Core (Webkit, Chromium etc.) is open source. This kind of closed-source vs open-source+open-spec is indeed inherit to the product.

I liked Flash too.. but the reason we don't have "HTML5 Flash" is only due to business decisions from Adobe headquarters. Since Steve Jobs prediction was correct (even if by chance) that power-wise, HTML5+JS=FLASH.
Nicholas Carr's "The Shallows" is easier going than I thought it would be, and I'm doing even better than a chapter at a sitting, and sometimes have to make myself put it down. I think he wrote it for people with diminished attention spans - and that's a compliment.
