Bingo! The underlying value is stored safely away from the systems passing around the reference - this makes it simpler and safer for the underlying systems to use the plaintext vs needing to share the private key with each system needing to touch the data!
> If I were to venture out, a lot of these things are part of a good strategy.

Bingo!

Strategy cannot exist without establishing the destination and stating the destination is useless without specifying how one intends to get there.
Interesting. Did something similar with a self hosted version of geoguesser with my friends. We set it up right near our school. We have multiple routes walking home and the amount of precision we could get was insane. One of my friends was able to get only a few meters off from the original position almost instantly.

I hosted it here if anyone wants to try

I found it more fun than Back of Your hand just because I frankly don't remember too many streets but can recognize the overall area from walks I go on.
They weren't in Ukraine. They were in the People's Republic of Donetsk or the People's Republic of Luhansk. They voted overwhelmingly to leave Ukraine in 2014 after the nationalists overthrew the government took over in Kiev.
I love this description and the concept of “compliance engineering”!
The book is really quite good. The Checklist Manifesto might also be of interest.

The parts of strategy (for some definition of strategy) that are missing from tactics are (1) Diagnosing problems (2) Setting policy. Things like “How do we solve problems” or “How do we find problems” vs “What is the solution to this problem”.

Maybe something more pithy like: “Tactics are what you use to fight on the battlefield, strategy is what gets you there”?
Given the way state pensions and Social Security are run in fact, the idea of an effective centralized pension scheme can’t be taken for granted.

Centralized lets you move money as you said, but it leaves a major risk that the whole system is left in a bad state by the central manager. Particularly when they can gain stature by overpromising and leaving office before it’s time to deliver. Doubly so when they look at the investment opportunities as an opportunity to exert political control over the economy at large, like CALPERS currently strives to do.
The idea a pretext is needed is silly. Of course every government at war does it, but the decision to use doesn't vest on the false premise, it's simply what they want to do.

The decision to use tactical nukes has irrevocable consequences which Russian government and military forces would be insane to bring on. It speaks volumes that we've returned to a state of affairs where it has to be said.

Chemical warfare is abhorrent, but has been partially normalised by Russian backed forces in Syria. To believe an accusation of impending use by Ukraine justifies tactical nuclear response is to pile delusional logic on a false premise.

Also normal.
when done by a state-entity with the purpose to influence, yeah exactly.
Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankyl
I really liked ZAMM the first few times I read it, when I was very young, and for a while thought it was the greatest book ever. With age and experience comes wisdom, though, and over the years I recognized that there is a lot of pretentious pseudo-scientific crap in there.

The part about "Gumption Traps" is very true and valid, however, and following Pirsig's advice on that front has saved me countless hours of fruitless troubleshooting.

Firefox now blocks Ad-filtering add-ons (uBlock Origin, AdBlock) in China
Firefox starts blocking uBlock Origin and other ad-blocking add-ons in China on addons.mozilla.org

Recently [1], some users reported that uBlock Origin [2], AdGuard AdBlocker [3], AdBlock For Firefox [4], and AdNauseam [5] were restricted from being accessed by users in mainland China.

When users in mainland China try to access the above ad-filtering add-ons on addons.mozilla.org, the website returns 451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons instead of the normal 200 OK response, and the body of the page states "This page is not available in your region".

The facts can be validated by reproducing the test results below.

Worth to note: This has nothing to do with China's "great firewall". This action of blocking was solely performed by Firefox in China, because the website "addons.mozilla.org" is accessible in China and it's not blocked by China's "great firewall". Firefox in China has a long history of arbitrarily blocking websites even for non-political or legal reasons and was actually found guilty by the Court in China back in 2018 for several such cases.

Sources and evidences:

[1] According to Blocky's test logs, restricted access initially began no earlier than March 8, 2022 and no later than March 19, 2022.
Users report: https://bgme.me/@bgme/107986773834355287

You realize some people have to warm up vehicles on extremely cold days by letting them idle for 5-15 minutes. How are they supposed to accomplish this now?

Great recommendation. And it seems they have an open day coming up, next Saturday. We will try to go by. Thanks.
Try installing it from the source into eg. ~/.fzf and run ~/.fzf/install (if I remember correctly). It will offer to add bindings for ctrl-r etc. to the shell's rc file. Easy to update, just run git pull in ~/.fzf and install again.
in hindsight the issue was that the kinetic possibilities (hey here are all these tanks on the Russian side of the border) were not given as much weight as the speech (just some war exercises). in hindsight a variety of approaches could have been done, for example if NATO sent a "just an exercise bro" series of tanks to Ukrainian side of the border, exactly matching the number of Russian tanks, not exceeding them, then, obviously, the kinetics of the Russian invasion would have been different (impossible).

That's the game theory anyway, I thought that it's better just to go for peace.

So with this hindsight knowledge (tanks = invasion) isn't the real question now, where are the tactical nukes? Should they be matched (insanity for insanity)?

If before 24th of February NATO tanks had matched Russian tanks, under the guise of a war exercise, Russia wouldn't have crossed the border with tanks: they couldn't have - there would have been tanks across the border.

What is the tactical nuclear missile equivalent? What physically mirrors or counters or makes it impossible?

I guess there need to be tactical nukes aimed at all of the command centers that could order a tactical nuke, and then this needs to be publicized.

It would surprise nobody to learn "Hey Russia just nuked Ukraine". Not a surprise to anyone, because it metaphorically just happened days ago. We need to learn from what happened days ago. Time to dust off the old nuclear playbooks.
Indeed. I think this reveals a deeper problem with flatpack packaging conventions. The package maintainer is a vital piece of missing metadata.

One of the few statistics from inside Russia I chose to believe is the 70% support the war figure. Why? Because in times past, the more usual claim has been 90%plus.

70% means a significant vocal opposition to Putin exists and should have at a minimum 1/3 representation in votes and the duma/parliament, assuming opposition to the war translated to voting and candidates existed.

Given the distortions of news, 30% opposition can grow. Putin will not be planning on 70% turning to 80% when the body bags come in. The most likely path from here is downward. War is not popular without evidence of need.

The fascist story is fantastically stupid. It won't last, because it depends on maintenance of a paper thin veil on reality which again the body bags tears a hole in. Troops on the ground, conscripts are going to bring another side to bear on Russian domestic reportage.

I stress, this 70% figure is backed only by belief on my part. I have no evidence of the balance of support for the war. And it is a war. Putin won't succeed in corralling this as a peacekeeping intervention.
I've been using fish for 2 years now and I pretty much live in the terminal. I would feel handicapped without it.

Just use fish and use shebangs `#!/bin/sh` (which should be in your scripts anyways) and you can keep writing/running POSIX scripts all day. I think it's the best option until nushell[0] is ready.

As an added bonus now that you don't use bash interactively you can substitute dash[1] and increase the speed of most POSIX scripts, win-win.

I'd also recommend zoxide[2], i feel like it's one more must have no matter what you do in the shell.

> I did not even mention which drug

Exactly. Heroin is pretty addictive, pretty fast.

Otoh, there is no lethal dose that we know of for magic mushrooms (psylocibin). You can take a lot and have a hell of a trip but no one ever died from a psylocibin overdose. And it’s not addictive in the sense that you’ll get physical effects of you stop taking it. It builds a tolerance that will make it have much less effect if you take too much too often so it kinda takes care of the problem this way.

Alcohol which is freely available to any adult can make you addicted and will Jill you if you take too much of it.

What about sugar? We’re pretty much all addicted to it, and it can kill in the long term (obesity, diabetes…)

I’m not a drug expert but I think it’s very detrimental to say that all drugs are bad, they’ll make you an addict and kill you, and they’ll liquefy your brain. This is FUD and it results in shaming. It also creates abysmally poor public policy like the “war on drugs” which has been nothing but a colossal failure and a misery generating system.
Thank you! I love learning about stuff like this but I wasn't sure what to search for. Much appreciated.
> Where are you from that dogs are not seen as family members?

Where did you get that idea? My dogs absolutely are members of the family. They don't get to live in my house though, just like the dozens of other relatives I have who don't share my roof.

> Also what about children? They are not exactly known to be clean either.

Children don't enter the house with dirty feet. They don't lie in the dirt outside and then come and nap on the couch.

They wipe their butts and shower twice a day.

Most dogs live free, out in the open. I'd bet only a small proportion of the worlds dogs are kept indoors.
You’re missing the individual vs societal view.

Obviously you personally would rather not be exposed to asbestos or lead but at the societal level 1000 people that are really really dead and 1000 people who are just normally dead aren’t that different. And honestly it’s worse for diesel having wide exposure because there are in between states between totally fine and dead and those affect more people.
I wrote a small "selector" script to use fzf or dmenu depending on whether a TTY is available. So if I am running a script involving selection outside of a terminal I get the dmenu GUI, but inside a terminal I get fzf.

> You've just looped it back around: expanding space gives finite, shrinking, observable universes. Which is just exactly the Big Bang theory.

There is nothing about Big Bang theory that explains the current expansion of our Universe (i.e. dark energy). In fact the Big Bang theory predicted our Universe should have stopped expanding and began collapsing on itself due to gravity (i.e. the Big Crunch), and that’s exactly why whoever can explain why the Universe is continuing to expand has a Nobel Prize waiting.
From my understanding, this is the oldest approach to understanding scripture. To keep from deviating from the truth you must examine the text in light of what has been written before. Acts 17:11 bears this out, "Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so."
A pretext is needed since Russia needs to dupe people into feeling okay enough to press the button. They can't say: "We will do this as an unprovoked unilateral act of aggression because we feel powerful enough to and the other side is weak and defenseless and we want their territory. Just do it." That doesn't get the soldiers to press the button. These nuclear buttons don't press themselves, you know.

all this is in "how to be evil" 101 level courses, all dictators know this stuff.

I'll grant you that in most cases they did not choose to be with you on the day you brought them home. But aside from cases where they're constantly inside, fenced in, leashed, or the like, can you explain why they can't choose to leave? Plenty of animals stay when there's no external force preventing them from leaving.

As a personal anecdote, at a previous place where I lived (a large property), one day a cat showed up off the street. Plenty of cats would come and go relatively often, and they'd bolt if you got too close. This one was okay with being around humans. It looked hungry, so I gave it some food, and saw it again soon after. It wasn't long before it was living on the property full-time, outside. I fed it, and took it to the vet. It turned out she was pregnant, likely from before she arrived, and she ended up having the litter there.

Did I own that cat? If so, at what point did that ownership begin?
I mean a raccoon will keep coming to my house if I feed it, does that mean we have companionship?

It's amusing how you think that American cops need any crime, let alone violent crime, in order to to exact violence and death upon citizens. You must be white.

I think they keep these from public bc lots of defense contractors are actually involved in this project, too. And it's basically impossible to ask them to release those resources.
How often do you interview and how often are you doing LC interviews?

There’s no real time to “see how one thinks” when the expectation is to pump out two medium answers in <45 minutes. You’re basically just reading the question, going through a couple hoops, and then implementing/explaining the algorithm. There’s barely any time to “see how one thinks” in these modern interviews.

Maybe you can show three problems you were asked recently and how long you had to solve them.
I’ve reached the point where my attitude is “onboard myself.”

I find out what I need to do my job, and get the company to give it to me. Usually means making the same request again and again and again. Which is good practice for the actual work of coding in big orgs.

Then there are the pro forma classes that are a necessary evil:

No, I will not give bribes to foreign officials in violation of the American Corrupt Foreign Practices Act.

No, I will not engage in a romantic relationship with a direct report.

No, I will not make stock trades based off insider knowledge.

Yes, I support will support the company’s effort to promote diversity, even though 80% of the people I work with are contractors and therefore not included in diversity statements (and all fall into predictable ethnic categories).

These classes aren’t bad, but they feel like moral potty training.

The worst part is making all the freaking accounts. Every employer contracts out every possible function. Paystubs in one web site. 401ks in another. New insurance cards.

And make sure you give Expensify your banking info.

And then there’s the mandatory security training for certification.

Then you have the weird way we auth into AWS, which is totally different at every single place.

Oh yeah, and don’t forget about the next Sprint ceremony. And BTW, every company has its own Sprint liturgical calendar.

I’m married to a lovely woman who happens to be an Orthodox Christian, so our family celebrates Christmas and Easter on two different dates in two very different ways. During Advent my wife is fasting while I’m feasting.

Post-pandemic CA DMV has moved a lot more online, including things like title transfer which used to be in-person only. So you mostly don't need to go to the DMV anymore.

And if you do, since most people aren't going, it is now quick. A handful of years ago I remember appointments were a couple months out. Last month I needed an appointment and got one for the next day (and it wasn't a one-off, there were times available every day of that week) and I barely waited 5 minutes when I got there.
Darwin's Dangerous Idea by Daniel Dennett, when I was 15, 25 years ago. I was already less than sympathetic to the whole God idea, but that book was the revelation that made it all click. I still remember the moment, p.53 or so, when he explained how a simple algo and a few billion years could explain all biology we see around us. As a kid, i was simply stunned,i immediately embraced the idea and it's consequences and never looked back.

That's not really true for modern vehicles. They handle it a lot better. Many are also designed to turn on and off constantly at stop lights, so they're designed to properly handle temperature and lubrication during the start/stop cycles.

If you're in a particularly cold winter you might benefit from it but really that's a judgement call. If you live somewhere mostly above freezing and drive a modern car, you're probably good to drive from the moment you start the car. Unless you're about to go full throttle on a racetrack, should be fine.

I warm up my 96 Nissan before driving, but I just go easy for the first 5 minutes in the 2010 Nissan.
What Griffiths lacks is an explanation of what a measurement is. He, like many other authors, explicitly avoids this because he says that measurement is an ineffable mystery, but it isn't. A measurement is a macroscopic system of mutually entangled particles. The only real mystery is why the outcomes obey the Born rule.

Decoherence does not solve the whole measurement problem. Like I said, it does not explain the Born rule. But it does solve parts of the measurement problem. Decoherence explains why measurements are not reversible (they are reversible in principle but not in practice because you would have to reverse O(10^23) entanglements). It explains why only one outcome is experienced (because you are part of the mutually entangled system of particles that constitutes the measurement, and all of the particles in the system are in classical correlation with each other). I don't know of any standard text that discusses this at all.

Whether or not Feynman is a "standard text" is quibbling over terminology. A lot of people learn QM from it (or at least try to).
