"the commute is actually okay" is the reason people buy houses in the suburbs. the people buying houses in the suburbs are the reason the commute becomes terrible. if the drive sucks, people will find a way to avoid it, whether that's finding recreational opportunities close to home, taking transit, buying a house in the city, or finding a job close to home (or working remote)

>Are you "hiding" when you lock the door of your home every day, just because the government is not permitted to enter it without a warrant

If this is your reason then I would say you are trying to hide.

>Is it "hiding" to seal the envelope of the card you're sending your Valentine?

Yes, the point is to keep it a surprise.

>helps protect queer youth from intolerant violence (at home and abroad, as in Ghana).

E2EE doesn't prevent a parent from taking their phone and seeing their messages. These kids aren't communicating to their friends over their parent's IRC server. Most parents aren't technical and wouldn't even know how to MITM even an unencrypted messaging app.

>helping victims out of these relationships by enabling them to contact friends for help

Again most people don't know how to MITM this traffic. Especially if you are using mobile data.

Even in regard to whistleblowers they only need anonymity. They want to do the opposite of hiding their messages. They want the opposite. For as many people as possible to see their messages.
Fair points. I like that we have lots of different smart people tackling the problem from different angles, though. I’m optimistic about technology here because I don’t think people will trade concrete quality of life now for abstract quality of life in the future.

Not a Substack employee, but that would be tacitly endorsing users bypassing #3 — even if Substack doesn’t mind, their writers might. Safari is one thing, where it can’t be disabled. But going out of their way to add support for it in the app is probably a step too far.
Thanks for the link, but the only monitor in that list with higher DPI than Apple's offerings (218 PPI) is the Dell UP3218K (280 PPI) that I already mentioned. All of the 27" 5K (218 PPI) use the same panels from LG. Next (I'm ignoring the IBM and Viewsonic models from 2001/2002) there's the Microsoft Surface Studio at 192 DPI that I also mentioned, and next are 24" 4K models at 185 PPI. Next again are the models at 163 PPI. Again, above 200 PPI there's only the few 27" 5K models from LG and Apple, and the single Dell 24" 8K.
Worth noting that it's not just 15,000 uses in the Linux kernel. Many other projects, some of them quite large in their own right, have copied these macros. Obviously, changing the definitions used in the kernel won't affect those projects. However, many of the observations about safety and potential bugs do affect them as well.

> the Rust language, for all of its merits, does not make life easy for anybody wanting to implement a linked list, a switch to that language would not automatically solve the problem

There's a lot of truth to this, but there's also more to the story:

1) Writing a doubly-linked list in safe Rust is famously difficult and cumbersome, yes. But writing a singly-linked list in safe Rust isn't so bad. Once you're familiar with Box and Option and how references work, you can make a singly-linked list out of those the way you'd expect. They're like unique_ptr<T> and optional<T> in C++. It's too much for a day-one exercise, which is part of why we often warn beginners away from it, but with some guidance it can definitely be a week-one exercise.

2) On the other hand, writing a singly- or doubly-linked list in unsafe Rust is hardly any different than writing it in C. That's the whole idea of unsafe Rust. You get your hands on some raw pointers and you go to town. Now, doing a good, idiomatic job of that means exposing a safe interface, and understanding the interactions between safe and unsafe Rust well enough to do that correctly takes a lot more experience. But getting an unsafe doubly-linked list to work in Rust as a proof of concept is arguably easy. It would be malpractice to teach it to beginners, but you could. [Edit: I was wrong about this. The simple version I was imagining failed Miri.]

3) As the article points out, "C lends itself to the creation of ad hoc linked lists in every situation where they are needed, resulting in boilerplate code and duplicated definitions." Rust does not lend itself to this, however, because like C++ it supports generic data structures. So even if implementing a linked list in Rust was the most difficult programming challenge the world had ever seen, that wouldn't be much of a problem in practice, because we could get some genius to implement it once, and then the rest of us could use it through a safe, generic API.
Dad is/was a Saab guy, and for a long period my folks had matching terracotta Saab 900's. Not sure mum ever fully forgave him for that, she wasn't consulted!!

I learned to drive in one, before buying my very own 1986 Mitsubishi Sigma.

The Saab 900 weighs 18 bazillion tonnes, and is almost impossible to to roll or skid. The Sigma weighs about 4.2 grams, and will skid sideways if you close the door too hard.
Driving on the winding country roads of my youth, some rapid adjustment of driving styles was required!

I don't remember it being all that quirky tho.. I know you couldn't take the keys out of the ignition in any of the "on" positions, and I think the driver's side door could only be locked from the outside, making it hard to lock your keys in the car.

Something similar with the lights, I think, it was very hard to leave any lights on accidentally overnight and run your battery flat

And I think maybe reverse gear was an odd spot compared to other cars.. although it also made it very hard to accidentally (try to) put the car in reverse while shifting..

Given the tech level at the time tho, they were all pretty sensible solutions to issues that people had with other cars, even if they were all "operator error" problems.

“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.”

There's another approach.

How about greater transparency around the trustworthiness of sources? Maybe that would be a better way than censorship to slow the rampant spread of misinformation across the internet?

Full disclosure, I work for Neeva. Our search engine is different. With Neeva, we give you more information about the source and you get to decide which news sources you trust. You are in charge of deciding what is right for you -- not global tech companies making decisions in private rooms.
I own a collection of iconic short stories, the Pocket Book of Short Stories (apparently first published in 1941) which has an interesting preface reviewing the strengths and difficulties of the short story form.

It argues the short story has no time to waste, unlike the novel. It must grip us from the very first sentence, otherwise all is lost.

As an example, the preface recounts the story of a writing class professor who, fed up with every student writing dreadful and depressing stories about class warfare and the struggles of the proletariat, told his students in exasperation "don't just write about the proletariat and the dreadful existence of the oppressed. Add more variety! Please also consider spicier topics, and include an aristocrat now and then!"

(I'm quoting from memory and possibly making a mistake, but the next line stuck with me).

So the next day, the first student read a story which started like this:

"'What insolence!', cried the Duchess. 'Take your hand off my knee!'"

I think it's a great opening line.
I had the same thought and used a 3440x1440 for my desktop until life forced me to have a smaller desk.

I'm now using a Arzopa 13.3" 2560x1600 13.3" (227 PPI) from amazon [0] that's been absolutely amazing. 60Hz, 99% sRGB (calibrated), has functional speakers, and gets plenty bright enough. Is also powered easily off of a spare USB port.

It's not full desktop size but I honestly think for the ~$150 I paid getting 2-3 of these is now my default answer. I should probably put two in portrait mode as the plugs are on the side to keep the screens very thin.

I know that's not the normal answer but I'm pretty sold on this.

" ... and the Roman senator Cassiodorus noted in 538 ..."

If Wikipedia is correct, he wasn't a senator. His full name was Magnus Aurelius Cassiodorus Senator.
Really illustrates the brilliance of choosing the name. Obfuscating normal conversation.
Starting from the Treaty of Rapallo in 1922 there was cooperation between Germany and Soviets. Recent archival research has reviled that this cooperation was far deep then initially assumed. Until a short while ago we mostly looked at diplomatic treaties. However the reality is, German Army was basically operating as a shadow government in Germany and they very intensively interact with Russia on a massive scale.

There certainty were rough patches in the relationship and the didn't like each other, but strategically from 1922 on Russia was mostly supportive of Germany.

And of course Stalin hated the SPD and he thought they were more dangerous then the Rightists. But that doesn't mean that the core relationship was always that Germany had to be support as long as they were aggressive towards the other 'capitalist powers'.

> France, or the UK, neither country of which was interested

They were interested. But the cost of such an agreement was basically to give Stalin power over pretty much all of Eastern and Southern Europe.

And such an agreement would only have been a tool in Stalin attempt to create war between France and Germany that he could stay out off.

The French were very suspicious of Soviet intentions (far more so then they used to be of Imperial Russia) and that is why the French never came even close to such an agreement.

> In 1939 the USSR and Germany signed a peace treaty, which Germany would break within two years, but it gave the Soviet Union enough time to prepare for invasion. Also Germany having a western front helped the Soviet Union.

Yeah sure it helped that Germany spent resources fighting Britain. But not getting invaded by 1.5 million Germans at all would have helped far more.

The reality is, Germany can't invaded Soviet Union without Soviet Union or Britain support. They likely couldn't even have invaded France without Soviet Support. So had Stalin adopted a different strategy, Germany would have never seriously invaded the Soviet Union.

> Lenin did not have global goals with himself at the center

Sure. Until the moment he has the option to be.

> Stalin's goals were even more modest

No they weren't. Both of their goals was global revolution and Soviet Leadership of global communism.
To be fair, you've fallen into the same trap. One person says they don't have a problem, you believe them and start saying the first statement must be misinformation.

It's possible that both people are correct and the circumstances that cause the battery to drain require being connected to a AirTag, not just near any old AirTag. Or there are other circumstances that cause the battery to drain.
I think the role of a search engine is to index the page, and to help users find what they're looking for. It's a difficult task that requires somehow quantifying relevance of answers for a given text string.

Whatever quantification is used is an implicit kind of 'censorship', and the 'relevance' of results for a given string is inherently a value-judgement. That's where the value of a search engine comes from. We choose search engines based off how good its value judgements are.

So, I wish DDG released more details here, because this announcement otherwise just sounds like standard practice. Abusing "quirks in the algorithm" is just called SEO, and it's been a cat-and-mouse battle between search-engines and abuse. Without details, it's harder to interpret this move generously.

The copy as cURL is a great idea! That makes it easy to get a succinct summary of the components to the request including how they are doing auth. If the API in question is a desktop app, Fiddler can be a great alternative. Obviously WireShark can see more, but Fiddler is a lot easier to use and setup in my experience.

I 100% agree with this take.

I've got an email newsletter that 874 people pay me $5/m to read (The Sizzle - https://thesizzle.com.au). I set it up outside of Substack a few years ago, then migrated when Substack launched with the hope their platform would bring in new readers and make my life easier.

This turned out to be a massive waste of over a year, as not only did the newsletter stop growing, it lost subscribers. There was no platform effect by being on Substack, so I left it, setup my homebrew solution (where all the bits, like billing, email sending, customer info are interchangeable) and growth has resumed and I'm doing better than ever - all without giving Substack a 10% cut and further locking myself into their ecosystem.

Here's a blog post explaining in more detail why I chose to remove myself from Substack if anyone is interested: https://blog.decryption.net.au/t/why-i-use-a-mishmash-of-ser...
You mean the actions of a single person in power does not reflect 100% of the population of a country? Carefull, next you'll be telling me to think for myself or something!

This is also how I kick started everything long time ago. I am also self taught and is working in an environment that developed web applications running on the Microsoft Stack, I learned myself how to install an AD controller, SQL Server, Web Server etc and eventually I had a mini enterprise domain environment running at home. I learned how to write an application for it, how to deploy it, etc. Throughout all the years I have kept that environment (rebuilt a million times) and over time added more and more features and using new products and version.

It gave me insights that my peer developers didn't have. I became aware of the entire life cycle associated with an application and learned enough of the various moving parts to understand the full picture of what was going with the application we work with at daytime-job. To have this understanding gives you a huge leap over your peer developers that only understand what is going on inside of the code silo.

My AD environment might not be of a quality that could be deployed in production in a real enterprise, but it enabled me to participate in discussions with infrastructure people and to better understand what could be root cause of the errors I had to troubleshoot during a normal days of work.

Having my own mini enterprise setup also allowed me to check out and learn about future features and suddenly you find yourself capable participating in talks with architects.

In addition as subscription to Plural sight online training also helps in learning quick and get a overview of various tech.
I was thinking more about consumables like gas, groceries, and rent. A lot of American consumers rely on credit to pay monthly bills and inflated goods would likely prevent people from paying bills in full. The inflated prices would be hit with interest rates on revolving credit lines.
Hello blogq, please don't worry, we did not use anything to track datas, not even Google Analysis. We just wanted to show the thing we just built, and gather honest feedbacks.

For the email sign-in, it is because that, we would like to use the "password-less" approach like Slack did, in order to avoid the hustle of creating and remembering passwords for the users.

This was a concern I had since day 0. I have been asking about things like this and been talked down to constantly as if I don't know how bluetooth works...

My other concern was if these are hijacking your data plan. Maybe it's not that significant amount if you have a huge plan but like Ting for example gives you 100MB of data usage each month on their basic plan. That's MEGAbytes. I checked my system clock app for example, and it's using like 500 MB a year of cell data. So the cumulative data it uses per year is about half of that plan's budget.

Settings uses like 1/5 of a month of data. What does settings even use cell data for? Every random app has data usage like this. Sure, you can turn it off but why should that be the user's problem in the first place? We don't live in an opt-out society.

If you're a cargo delivery guy and someone decides to ship 500 airtags for fun that you walk by, are you now just screwed in over charges because Apple decided it was OK to use your cell data for whatever purposes that have no benefit to you?

No, because it is possible establish a token required for access to an onion service on top of the obscurity of having to actually discover the service's public address.

It is also extremely likely that said adversaries control most of Tor, considering that the main mechanisms of tracing Tor circuits do not require control over any nodes of the Tor network whatsoever- snooping on IXPs and as many autonomous systems and underwater wires as possible.
The best people I ever met while working at IBM were the ones who got there via acquisitions. Also there were grumblings about how employees hired directly by IBM appeared to be promoted more often than acquisition employees. Something about them being "true blue", which if real, tells you everything you need to know about the upper management and their opinions of subordinates there.
Thats not the point of my question. Substack can say something like medium does. "You can view five posts for free and then you should login to read more"
Let's say you forego your $5 Starbucks just one day per week and put it into mutual funds. $5 * 52 weeks = $260 extra invested per year.

Let's say you keep doing that each year from the age of 20 until you turn 60. Assuming an average annual rate of return of 8%, that Starbucks money would be worth ~$73,000.

Even though you only put in $260 * 40 = $10,400 total over that 40 years. Just accumulated compound interest over time works out to that.

Do it for 10 more years (50 years total), and a $13k total investment will grow to $161k.

So I'd say it does more than nothing. You don't have to go nuts with it, but even just starting early and putting in money every month, will eventually add up to a lot more than you put in.

By the way, it doesn't HAVE to be a Starbucks coffee you forego, it could be anything, or just a certain amount set aside for the investment, it's just a common luxury that's easy to replace (make coffee for a tenth of that at home) and cheap enough for illustrative purposes, which is why they use it a lot as an example. Keep the Starbucks and eat out one less time per week, or buy one less video game per month, or whatever.

If you're poor and don't really have the room in your budget for $260 a year, do whatever you can afford. Even $60 a year ($5/month) would become ~$37k after 50 years (for only $3000 put in). And hopefully over time you can better your circumstances and afford to put in a little bit more.

Paramount now, but no: it's nothing to do with Viacom, but just that Channel 5's news programmes feel (to me, at least) dumbed-down in comparison to the BBC's or Sky's - let alone written journalism.

I'm not accusing them of media-bias or intentional misreporting, but I just don't expect C5 to be entirely accurate on nuances of the issues reported or things like second-order consequences of news events. Medical news is far outside their organizational expertise: they don't have their own journalists: their Ofcom-mandated news programmes are made by ITN which just repackage AP/Reuters/BBC/ITN - it's better to get information closer to the source, where the details are, rather than getting lost in the game of telephone played between researchers, their journals, the journals' publishers (...and publicists), to newsgatherers, to newsagencies' editors, to newsrooms, and your screen. There's a lot of people in the way: https://phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=1174

So what I mean is that getting news on Covid from C5 is like getting world affairs updates from South Park.
They are comparing to the word "hide" in the context authorities use it, e.g. "nothing to hide". They are not drawing comparisons using the word generically, and they make this explicit. Your two assertions seem to ignore this (i.e. it seems like you're "playing word games").
