> I’m using Fastmail with a custom domain and have aliases with rules for the different destinations, for example papertrail@example.org or newsfeed@example.org

I want to try the custom domain thing eventually, but will have to be careful not to let my domain get into the wrong hands. So I will be turning on 2FA on my registrar, and stay away from ccTLDs that have reputation issues (like .ru for example). Also I will ensure the domain keeps getting renewed. The only caveat is if I DIE someone can reclaim my domain and get access to all my accounts, which is worrying.
I think the idea is that it strengthens over time and helps to build a sanitized history. When a new generation of people have internalized this national story, then that can then be leveraged by those in power to justify crackdowns and explain away periods of hardship.

In the case of a single party dictatorship, I think it also exists to show party members what the approved line is, which allows local authorities to operate with some degree of autonomy, as long as they can tie it back to the general narrative the leadership wants to promote. This can be used as a way of allowing some degree of variation in governance while still providing the party leadership with plausible deniability if a policy fails (or the ability to claim ownership if it succeeds).

If there was a network operators group that encompassed both America and Iraq pre-war it would make sense that you couldn't represent both sides.

Furthermore, he can't necessarily be explicit in an anti-war stance, because it is illegal for Russians to acknowledge that the war even exists. Russia went hard on censorship relating to their invasion of Ukraine.

And there's no particular reason why Russia wouldn't want control over NOGs - the Internet is a war-fighting domain, and denying it to your enemy is a meaningful victory.
Yes, block pricing makes sense. Prices are SUPER valuable as are other market dynamics! The same should be used for electricity and gasoline and many other things.

But the free-market dogmatists aren't interested in using markets and prices effectively, they are interested in their self-concept as people who really "get it" and understand all the complex dynamics of economics. Once you let messy ideas like externalities and market-interference/regulation like block pricing and on and on and on… this becomes very threatening to their identity as it pushes them toward having to say "gosh, it's so complex, and I don't understand it all".
Because they run ads on TikTok
Can confirm. The quality and prices are if AmScope are good and microscopy is a fun hobby.
If you just want to build a microscope then build one but IMO using a microscope is a more enjoyable hobby than building one.
Also even if you start with a decent microscope there are a lot of interesting diy projects involving focus and lighting and computational imaging.
> perpetual animal genocide is necessary.

Meat as a staple food is literally not genocide, because an actual animal genocide would literally lead to famine. Making silly comparisons like this doesn't make your position sound reasonable.
> propaganda is everywhere.

A charitable reading of that is "Every country has propaganda in it", which is almost a truism, but I suspect that many people (possibly including you) want to spread the perspective that:

"Nothing is true and everything is possible."

I used to pull the code and run it for each PR, as I believed it just wasn't possible to read code adequately. Then I worked with one guy who clearly could read code very well - he found quite subtle issues just by reading it, and having seen it was possible, I put in the effort and learned to do it too. So in my case, my reason for always pulling and running the code was, as you suggest, that I simply wasn't very good at reading code. I still won't hesitate to pull and run code if I need to, but I'm pretty suspicious of code I can't read these days, and usually request it be made clearer.

You blew past my main point, which is that if you go to browse an entire repo online, there's no reason that a v2/ directory will be easier to find than a v2/ branch, unless you're specifically assuming the site looks like github.

> In contrast to just cloning the repo and browsing the v2/ directory.

"just" cloning the repo? You gave this list of arduous steps for why cloning a tag is harder than browsing, but "just" cloning the repo still makes you do all but one of those steps!

And if something is generating the clone command for you, it can add "-b".

You don't need to know how git branches work. You definitely don't need to know how to go back to master.

Wait wait slow down.

I can sign up for services with plus signs and use the plus signs to do things? Does this work on Gmail? What other services does it work on?

Is this a well-known fact???

I've never heard of this. My mind is about to blow here.

I worry that bad actors might strip the plus parts out, but in a basically cooperative ecosystem, this seems like a really big deal.
Ok so what about the Cantor function? Can it learn that?
Outlook.com let's you make aliases and you can direct their messages into a folder. I.e myshopping123@outlook.com
As mentioned in the article itself these cutesy things are inadequate for their intended use case.

Could still be made useful in some cases perhaps as part of a larger “defense in depth” scenario, but if you’re actually afraid of rubber hose cryptography you should utilize methods that directly work against that (which may result in your death).
>The war in Ukraine is the biggest conflict since the WW2.

Hardly. So far it is the biggest war in continental Europe. Big difference.

Compare it to Vietnam where Americans civilians were being drafted.

Have we already forgotten that Iraq and Afghanistan happened?
With over 121,000 unread emails in my “everything” gmail account I’ve come to the same conclusion.

It only becomes a major issue when I want to find an email from a real person. It’s amazing - every marketing email seems to come up on every search I do almost like they’re keyword stuffing.

If there’s a better way to do it that doesn’t involve obsessive inbox 0 protocol but what the OP describes is what I’ve mentally decided to do as well.
> Does Putin himself come under the purview of this law? He's alleged to have a palace worth 100 million rubles on the Black Sea coast.

Of course not. Anti-corruption measures in places like that are selectively enforced. Go after the little fish to score anti-corruption points, while the big fish are literally above the law.
If you're using gmail, just mark everything that isn't sent by a human as spam.
It is similar.

I wouldn’t take at face value a journalist saying “this is what an FSB operative says, trust me”. Leaks from “senior anonymous official” are dozen a penny. Journalists typically indicate how they verified the provenance of leaks they publish, and hopefully keep the unverifiable stuff off their pages.

As for the guy’s track record... this sounds like a niche source. Some fairly small slither of the population can indeed infer more by knowing this guy well, for everyone else is “trust me he’s good”. Certainly not informative to me.
I have heard this exact same sequence of events now from two coworkers, a friend and one family member we well. Apparently these banks actively promote the Zelle service within their mobile apps, the usage of which then triggers the banks own fraud departments against the customer for using them. And as you mentioned the net result is hours of lost time which of course is not compensated for in any way.
It kind of stinks using this over remote desktop because it relies so heavily on opengl.
So it's not about piracy. It's all about justifying the implementation of tools used to control the free flow of information.
Judging by a description, it is a law to imprison any official. Seems that they are going to a gulag now. Putin took all the power, he needs his followers no more. Stalin also did this.

Those who do not fear the darkness will be consumed by it.
Most of the time I would expect the code to be already exercised by automated tests.

Sometimes, if it adds a new feature or something 'interesting', I've checked it out locally to see what the user-facing behaviour is, but this is very rare.

I see this incorrect fact a lot and I think people confuse energy density with energy efficiency.

Recovery code or another key. You can enroll multiple keys. As long as you have one of them, you can use your access to disenroll the broken/lost/whatever key and enroll a replacement. I have one key that I keep with me, and another that I keep in my safe. If I lose both, I'll use a recovery code that I keep in an encrypted vault online (as well as in my safe in paper form, but assuming that whatever destroyed the key in the safe also destroyed the list of codes in the safe...)

> Something I learned recently is that calling it "the Ukraine" rather than "Ukraine" is apparently using the Russian term for the country

Russian doesn't have articles: there is no the in Russian. The phrasing the Ukraine like the Netherlands has been used in English for well over a century. It's usually seen in cases where the name has a literal meaning in the original source language. Some like the Punjab have become archaic but some like the Deccan remain in use.

However, it's just good form to respect the official Ukranian preference and avoid the the.
Almost always.

Better I find out about edge cases that weren’t considered or unit tested than our customers.

Some people need money to sustain their families. As a prostitute you can choose your clients but this might lead to lower income. ( yes, i do think that me, having to use Microsoft software is prostitution, but i didn't had any employer which gave me a chance to install linux).
Fortunately for Russia debit cards cover 99% of their use cases.
A hammer (or the threat of it) will always defeat the best encryption algorithms.
I do test manually when the author does not practice TDD. (Or if there aren't tests.)

Additional benefit is that this shows to devs and management what a time saver TDD and testing in general is. It shows immediately that lacking tests cost valuable, senior, time, rather than save time by not writing tests.

It also is simply needed: when there are no tests, we'll need to manually verify and check for regressions.

Probably? The founders didn't even give American women the vote. Let's not go pretending they had some expansive notion of what the word "human" means.

FWIW I agree with your basic point--rights are rights, no matter who you are--but if you try to find that idea in anything "the founders" did, you're going to be extremely disappointed.

Fair enough, I wrote the snippet in 5 min and didn't check the tolerance parameter.

But with your improved choice of parameters, the NN is still about 1000 times worse than the cubic spline, despite having 50 times as many nodes.
I've been doing this for 10 or so years with no problem. I have a .org domain, auto renewal is set up, and I've enabled all email notifications around domain status with my registrar (which, yes, has 2FA enabled).

Hadn't thought about what happens to this setup when I die. Probably the simplest thing to do is give someone I trust access to the account. Alternatively I wonder if there's a way to keep credentials in escrow, which can only be legally released to a named beneficiary on death.

As I wrote, 'function in the laymen sense of the word'. And no one actually reading this can, without malice, misunderstand this: the author uses a nice and smooth y=f(x) as an example, and shows that it can be approximated with sigmoids. Nothing more, nothing less. And he does a good job showing this.
I think this depends on the scale and type of the project, but it's good to get in the habit of codifying tests and setting up CI ASAP. It's basically scaling you pulling down code and running it. Now with containers, there isn't much of a reason to not have automated build checks and testing. Even when you have changes in a distributed environment, things like docker-compose make it much easy to create mocked CI environments with dbs, caches, etc. Also, CI helps me prioritize PRs when I have many to review. Being able glance at github to see which ones are mergeable immediately vs which ones may have other dependencies causing CI to break is great.

If you're working on some legacy codebase and don't have these luxuries, I totally get running it locally first. I am lucky to work with people who I do trust deeply to not waste others' precious time by testing first so there is probably also a human element for me.
> perpetual animal genocide is necessary.

The argument that there are groups of food animals that constitute peoples in the sense used in the definition of genocide and that destroying them as a people is a necessary instrumental method to meat production is...not obvious.

I use a separate address that I only give to people. Never use it for forms or sign-ins, and if anything marketing-related makes it there it's instantly spamboxed.
Disclaimer, 26 years using emails.

What I love about emails is that no ads are pushed into it, one of the few places where you can read information without Javascript and decide when and if to load external content.

I think innovations should be welcome, but they should have their own name and avoid considering a legacy system wrong by default.

Reinvent the wheel is hard,however I hope to see something great in the future (gpg for everyone for example).

The response has been absurdly hostile to the Russian people. The West's foreign policy is simple "escalate". Stay tuned for your daily programming.

This is interesting. Russia is outsourcing intelligence gathering to its highly nationalistic tech savvy young people. They're even using Telegram to coordinate bombings and missile attacks.
So you mark receipts from purchases, travel confirmations, and newsletters you signed up for at some point as spam? Honestly, if it's from a legit organization, it should be just as easy to unsubscribe from any periodic mailing.
I actually like tokens that are kept completely separate, but are tracking something like storage or compute used/spent. This way you can trade encrypted web storage of an app you want to deploy (large dataset for ML training for example) for some computing or storage you lent to others. This way you can get around the insane prices that AWS charges.

...which has 2.14 DMIPS/MHz = 1.027 BIPS (more than 1 instruction per nanosecond). Fast enough?

(BTW, when I see "mhz" I assume this means "milli-Hertz". Similar when people say they have a 42b structure -- I see this as a 42-bit structure. If I wanted to communicate "42 byte structure" I'd abbreviate as "42B structure". Capitals used judiciously transmit meaning compactly.)
That's why you simply don't flush them. I've got a separate bin where I toss my wipes. The ones I buy are only ever made of plant fibers and contain no plastics and so on.

Yes, they can cause a lot of problems, and they shouldn't be marketed as "flushable". If you don't flush them, and if they're not cheap plastic, they're not necessarily bad. In terms of wiping your ass, they're superior.

Wet toilet paper may indeed be equally effective, but in my experience it's inconvenient and more difficult than either using wipes or toilet paper. Wet toilet paper collapses easily. Most wipes are designed to have enough integrity that, to put it bluntly, you don't need to worry about getting feces on your hands or drip poop water everywhere.

If you find wet toilet paper effective, that's great, have at it, but I think it stinks (figuratively and in this case literally).

It works on most email services. Some bad actors (including large corporations) do strip the plus signs out (or don't accept them to begin with) but it's rare for anyone to bother.

I typically use the name of the service after the plus, because it gives an added bonus of knowing who is selling my address.
"That does not necessarily mean that piracy has no effect but only that the statistical analysis does not prove with sufficient reliability that there is an effect. An exception is the displacement of recent top films. The results show a displacement rate of 40 per cent which means that for every ten recent top films watched illegally, four fewer films are consumed legally"

I guess for physical keys, it means you losing it instantly triggers anyone with it access to your M$ account, so eg. TSA could take it from checked luggage, plug it in, and go snooping through your email. Webauthn on Windows via regular TPM is good in that it's not really tied to the computer's cryptographic key, it requires some wrapped data stored by Windows as well (when I reinstalled Windows 11->Windows 11 from scratch none of my Webauthn logins worked, it was like I had a new key entirely).
