my headless home server is the same, every other summer a few weeks after the .1 release, i suck it up and update. usually after a few hours i have all my crap up and running again.

im hoping for a smooth update this summer as ive migrated a whole bunch of stuff over to docker.
I generally wait for the xx.04.01 LTS release.

Another example (I am no expert) is a margin call.

If I am purchasing using $100k of margin and my collateral drops to the point that I no longer have the margin. That 100k is gone. It wasn't a real 100k in the first place, it was leveraged and backed by a volatile asset.
2FA and network security are orthogonal concerns.

2FA protects your users from silent account compromises via phishing. Network security does nothing to stop phishing attacks on consumer users outside your company’s firewall and email filtering.

If a company’s network actually is breached and their password database dumped, the 2FA secrets are usually in a column right next to the password hashes and don’t provide any additional security.

>[..]but when they're talking about 4th booster shot then to me it only indicates that maybe vaccines wasn't the right way to treat this pandemic.

What's wrong with booster shots? I'm going through tick-borne encephalitis vaccination course right now, and it's 3 shots in the first 6 months, fourth shot after 3 years, and then a shot every 5 years. I also take an influenza booster annually. I'll a COVID one to the list too. Because it works!
Another way to translate it would be “the cost of British labour was reduced, pushing down the artificially high unemployment rate,” but the best way would probably be both of the above at the same time, and some other more complicated stuff I don’t know or understand. My point isn’t this was actually a really good thing, but it’s not as straightforward as you’re making it out to be.
The question is complicated. On the one hand you claim that in the west certain people are pushed away from certain fields, whereas others have claimed that in more egalitarian countries people are actually pushed into certain fields against their will. In my opinion, as someone that has seen both eastern europe and the west, I tend to agree with the latter idea, as I have personally witnessed large social pushes towards equality in the west, alongside a highly capable female demographic that achieve well in schools, it dosen't add up to me that women in the west are being pushed out of these programs, they simply prefer others. In comparison I see the same high capability and well achieving demographic in the east, with no positive or negative societal pressure on them, with a much more egalitarian professors/students ratio. Clearly there is something else besides capability and social pressure, and as others have pointed out, that is freedom of choice.

On the one hand, it seems reasonable that you could do better than average by doing some value investing. On the other hand, if you had done that, you'd have missed out on the big gains in Gamestop and AMC. Would you do better by constructing a portfolio that excludes them, now we know they're meme stocks? Maybe, but they're not that big, so any gains you get by excluding them are going to be minimal. And now they have enough money to diversify and perhaps turn things around and justify their value. Better to just buy the index.
Much verse
I've heard NPR referring to "the livestock medication Ivermectin", and this was not in a generic context, not related to people actually procuring the horse formulation.

It seems like there are often specific turns of phrase that just get widely adopted. What I cited above is one example. Another is "the deadly January 6th insurrection".

(Probably there's some right-wing phraseology around "stolen election" or "southern border invasion" or something like that. But I can't think of any specifically, so at least from my perspective they're less widespread or less sticky.)
You mean “guaranteed social security” by a government that keeps borrowing more money and spending social security funds just as they do regular tax income?

You have a lot more faith in our government than I do.

If you choose not to invest, do you keep all of your money in a savings account that loses value to inflation?
alias halp=apropos
The need for MFA is an admission that all the education about passwords has completely failed. Even after decades of pleading, users still reuse passwords, choose pet names, and do other dumb things. Forcing MFA it essentially telling users, “We tried to be friendly about this, and you didn’t listen.”

When accounts get hacked, the company is almost always blamed (in both the user’s and the public’s mind), even if they had nothing to do with it (the user was reusing a password from another site that got hacked). So there’s almost no choice but to require it, else they face a large reputational risk.

I find it odd you need to enter it so many times every day. Most sites allow you to “trust this browser” for some period of time. Are you clearing cookies all the time? Sounds like you might be making it worse due to some other habits.
Theneo is beginning for something big and game-changing. I'm less interested in what it can do right now, but what its full-fledged version will be capable of.

API documentation has always been a hassle, no matter which tool or service I've tried they always tried to solve the small, isolated issue, instead of an end-to-end solution.

Theneo's promise to use ML to automate the most painful steps of a technical document is refreshing and exciting. I wish you the best of luck and hope this is a beginning of a new platform of a full-stack solution instead of an ad-hoc one.

Haha, so I'm not the only one making that excuse for myself for years.
Yes Nvidia gimps because they have other products that are not gimped. But Apple doesn't. The M1 Ultra is the best of the best they have to offer.

I'm not saying Apple gimps their hardware. I'm asking because you are saying Apple gimps their hardware by not releasing "workstation drivers". Thus I ask you why would apple Gimp their hardware.
Correct. Keys must be immutable and hashable.
2FA as such? No, it should be supported everywhere that auth is important. Fido U2F and TOTP.

Doxxing/insecure (SMS/e-mail) and inaccessible (Google/Apple required)? 110%. Sick of it. More often than not that these are required I'm certain that "2FA" and "for your security" are just pretexts to be able to tie accounts to meat-space individuals.

If you are talking about TOTP and want some centralized solution where you're OK with ceding some control, it exists. Authy seems to be the most popular. I'm sure there are other options where you can get it synced between your smartphone and browser extensions, if that is what you prefer.
OK you might not be, but your post did. Working in tech the entire cost of your produce for the year (you quoted $400-$500) is a few hours worth of income. I grow a garden and for me it's a lot more than a few hours of work (an order of magnitude more, maybe two).
Its wall power without cpu encoding with cpu its ~140W.

But i can agree results are good but we need also to remember Samsung 8nm [rtx 3090 node] is 4 years old so 2 generations different from TSMC 5nm 4090 will be probably on 5nm node in few months and presumably will have 3x teraflops (probably 3x tf32 precision but it could be fp32 using 2/1.5x(?) more power).

(also I'm not sure about optimization it was write by apple employees and apple likes to drop open source support and focus on proprietary software)
Ok then how do you plan to fix this? The only outside entity who has any say what direction Mozilla takes Firefox in is the one paying them: Google.
If you want CUDA yes. So pretty much as the alternatives that work with Nouveau are much less supported and used.
All the indices he is comparing the USA to (Japan, France, etc...) are not total return index. The S&P500 is total return (includes reinvesting the dividends). If you take the total return version of those indices, they also look exponential (but with less return than the US). So I'm not sure his point stands.
While the defaults isn't what security minded folks would wish for, ISO C++ doesn't prevent a compliant implementatio to have them bounds checked, as such all major C++ compilers do provide compiler options to enable all uses of operator[]() as bounds checked, including interator invalidation.

In C++ circles although STL has long moved beyond its original purpose, most people do refer to the C++ standard library as STL.
Yeah you need the CUDA toolkit which comes with it I think
Though DirectX emulation on Linux via DXVK usually matches and sometimes outperforms native DirectX on Windows, so it's not a given.
I don't know, why would workers whose compensation has been effectively cut be mad at some billionaire who did it to make more billions?

This isn't just about countries as an abstract. It's about the people and the impact on them.
1. Invest your money. Ownership is important. Owning a private business might be best, but the public market is less work.

2. Think about how much time you want to spend on anything more complicated than stocks and cash. Three-fund portfolio? Individual stocks? Which ones? Compare the opportunity cost of you spending that time compared to something else.

3. Read https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3805927 from last year [1], and realize that a 25 year old book was based on bad data. It might be true that stocks outperform bonds right now, but that's not the whole history. It also seems to confirm that all correlations go towards 1 in crises.

I'm at (3). Not sure what (4) is, but I'm sure (5) is "Profit!!!"

So you also think that sanctions against Russia are evil?

1) is only true if the average active investor that switches to index funds is better informed than the average active investor. If a less informed investor switches from active to passive, then price discovery is improved.

2) is only an issue if the underlying assets don't have any value or you need to sell at the worst possible moment. ETFs generally improve the liquidity of in a liquidity crisis.

Well it's both really, the most sensible version to use right now is 20.04. Not too far back for people to be dropping support, not too bleeding edge to have missing packages.

i think of jack white who sounds awesome playing on a plank of wood for a guitar. such a guitarist might say your $3000 instrument is a vanity thing as well. speaking from my own experience, a topre keyboard or a heavily damped backplated keyboard with red switches invites me to type all day. so its subjective. i guess here i see the analogy to the footstool but id argue its more like your chair (and man, just look at the chairs in the valley...). your chair wont make you an elite software developer. but elite software developers tend to notice their ass is seated in this thing all day every day and they take it seriously.
Right - but these are enormous. This doesn't look anything like a clean image of a star.

When you go to buy or sell something, do you inform the seller or buyer that they are incorrectly pricing the product/service they are selling?

2FA is fine.

Except for Steam AND Battle.net (Blizzard) which both have their own dedicated 2FA apps.

I use 1password to manage all of this and the only thing compliant is about some sites that seem to break a password manager's ability to auto-populate form fields.

I love all these cool keyboards and tried a bunch but Cherry style switches just destroy my fingers/wrists/whatever. They are like RSI monsters for me.

I'm not really sure why but at least for me I'm 100% sure they're a disaster. I was totally convinced mechanical keyboards were a million times better due to the hype and that they feel awesome.. after about 5 years of using them I was in serious pain and it was really hard for me to wrap my head around the Cherry switches being the problem. All the hype made it really hard for me to grok that when I went back to cheap scissor switch or rubber dome keyboards my problems went away.

I still have a couple of mechanical keyboards.. I started going back to the office and plugged in a Das Keyboard there because it was what I had... sure enough after a few days of heavy coding my forearms are screaming again. I need to force myself to get rid of the last 2 of these keyboards.

And I had a lot.. 3x Das Keyboards, Code Keyboard, Kineses, TEK. I can flip all the variables other than switch type and none of them really matter.. as long as it has Cherry MX Brown or Blue style I have issues.

I am kind of getting eager to maybe try some of the new short travel optical switches or something now that their are options other than Cherry style.
True, however how else would Bjarne have sold C++ to C folks, just dive into the Usenet archives to see the flame wars of the time and people counting CPU cycles per language feature.

The same can be told about TypeScript, no matter how good its type system is, it will never prevent JavaScript gotchas, for similar reasons.
I find it hilarious that a publisher that names itself "The Sun" is talking about a comet

Maybe they should call themselves "Astronomy Anonymous" instead
Because surely nothing could go wrong with depending on government for your financial security. The government doesn’t need more income. Have you seen how the federal government’s budget is allocated?
> You might find it politically inconvenient to reconcile this with the stance you’ve chosen but the media and your side isn't right just because the other side is wrong.

Oh, a strawman argument with bonus points for trying to look clever by pretending this is a “both-sides” situation so you can avoid intellectual engagement.

If you re-read the thread you might notice that this was specifically in response to someone who was incorrectly claiming that people misusing animal medication didn't really happen. Nobody was saying that it's never used for humans — the big questions were whether it was useful for treating COVID (no) and whether it was a good idea to take non-human formulations and/or doses well outside of the safe ranges without involving a doctor (even more strongly no).

If you want to rant about “the media” or sides, it would probably be a good first step to be specific about what you're talking about so anyone else can evaluate whatever claims you're making. “the media” covers a very wide range of voices and it's not like there's anywhere close to 100% fidelity between different parts of the media or, for that matter, the scientific and governmental voices they're reporting on.

> Even better, Soros managed to convince other investors and investment banks (JP Morgan, Bank of America, Jones Investment, …) that the pound sterling would collapse in the event of a massive and coordinated attack.

I wonder how this wouod be judged with current "insider trading" laws, but since it is a foreign country (even if ally) then probably nothing would be done.

Also the article doesnt seem to mention that Bank of England could stop their losses and stop trying to save the pound.

I have a feeling that actions of central banks are poorly discussed - in many ways those banks seem to be a source of recession (UK, Japan) or method of transfer of wealth to the rich (quantitative easing... seriously it is just pure evil).
Certbot is available as a snap in addition to the other ways, that's all.

I changed teams internally about a year ago after 6 years in the same team. Changed into a completely different area with no domain knowledge and a technology stack that has nothing in common with what I was doing before.

Some of the things that have helped.

Be a sponge. Absorb everything, all the time. Ask questions. Read everything. Make sure you get time with people who can answer questions / teach you things. People, almost always, are happy to spend time with you.

When something aligns with your existing expertise, and there's always something, jump in. Offer advice, solve problems. If your company culture is healthy, your new team mates will really appreciate it. Different perspectives are so refreshing.

It'll take time to feel like you're an integral part of your new team / company. From what you already told us, I think it'll happen sooner rather than later in your new company.

Supporting institutional fusion research (ITER, MIT tokamak, et al) feels like discretely calculating the sum of the harmonic series: you can keep going for decades, but you'll never get much more than 57.7% (of a viable reactor.)

I'll be excited about the possibilities of usable fusion in my lifetime when SpaceX starts iterating toward a production design.

I was formerly a PhD student at Columbia in the social sciences. The faculty I interacted with didn't seem to care a whit one way or the other about the school at large, they were just really invested in the department's competitiveness in attracting faculty, grad students, etc.

I can't speak to any run-down labs, but regarding cramped working conditions -- space is just always going to be at a premium in Manhattan. Arguably Columbia is going above and beyond to acquire more space by opening up the Manhattanville campus [0,1,2].

In general, when academics complain about things, I take it with a grain of salt. Having said that, I don't doubt for a minute that the administration juked the stats to get a better USN&W ranking.

With 1Password taking the typically suicidal approach of re-writing everything to fix some abstract problem that doesn’t really exist, I wouldn’t recommend anyone go there.

Non-nerds get very confused with 1Password, as you can easily have multiple versions that work slightly differently at once.

Changing password managers is a PITA.
My knowledge of Russian bureaucrats comes mostly from watching Chernobyl on HBO, but I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't simply that Putin said he wanted Ukraine and nobody at the top could push back.
I think the key statement you make is correct "safe drug to take in normal doeses". If you look at the toxicology, it's safer than Aspirin.

My story (yes, I know, just N=1, but it's good to put it out there):

I found a doc to give me two prescriptions for a treatment protocol as recommended by the FLCCC. Since it was in short supply, I didn't want to waste it prophylactically. I've had IVM available to me since early sprint 2021.

If I ever got that nagging feeling in my throat like I was coming down with a cold, I just took a single dose of IVM. The next day I was always better. This happened about a half dozen times over the last almost year. Would I have gotten better that quickly without it? I don't know. I just didn't want to risk thing getting worse, and the risk calculation was obvious since IVM is so safe.

Was it just a cold attacking me and not COVID? I don't know, but it was still better than coming down with a cold. Colds always take me down for a week anyway, so I saved a week of my life even if it was just a cold.

From my understanding IVM is a broad spectrum antiviral that seems to work well on coronaviruses. I'm going to keep taking it on first symptoms of a cold, just because so far I haven't had even a sniffle since I started taking it on the first sign of a infection. It may not be the thing that's working, but as you say, it's so safe, it doesn't hurt to use.

Before the downvotes: I'm not saying that this is the solution to the pandemic, and I'm not touting that it's better than other treatments or vaccines. I'm just saying that the downside to taking it is negligible, and my experience is that it did help (or at least didn't hurt). And it's cheap, so why not experiment.
