Yes, but it doesn't strengthen the argument.

If society A says the speed limit is X and society B it's Y and society C it's infinite. What's the point that speed is objectively measurable?
AFAIK part of the problem is Linux doesn't fully trust RDRAND. If it did, people would riot because they don't trust that Intel hasn't backdoored it.
I was going to say this. It's fun when you are that high up.
This study is the most peer-reviewed April Fools joke.
EnvKey[1] moved from OpenPGP (RSA) to NaCl[2] for its v2, which recently launched.

It’s causing a difficult migration for our v1 users. Moving to a new encryption scheme is not fun for a product with client-side end-to-end encryption.

But within a year or so of releasing the v1, it seemed like the writing was on the wall for OpenPGP and RSA. I didn't want to go down with a dying standard.

NaCl is so much better. In spite of the migration headaches that will likely cost us some users, I'm very happy I made this decision. It's so much faster, lighter, and more intuitive.

It’s legitimately fun to work with, which I never thought I’d say about an encryption library after cutting my teeth on OpenPGP.

I have yet to see any evidence for it doing harm or seen anything pointing towards a mechanism for harm. Not only is your phone transceiver pretty weak, usually 3W or less, but it is also running far below even visible light on the EM spectrum. If we aren't concerned about a 3 watt LED shining light on you, I don't think there is any reason to worry about far less energetic EM waves. And people have been trying to find proof of harmful effects from low level radio emissions since radio transceivers were invented. If there is an effect at all, which has yet to be shown, it must be absolutely minuscule to go completely unknown despite endless studies on it.

> or whether x86 hypervisors tend to provide RDRAND support.

One issue that I've been wondering about is how safe this is. Presumably you can't let a VM use the RDRAND directly because it could starve the entropy of other VMs. Assuming that presumption is true, a hypervisor would need to manage that shared resource fairly amongst the VMs.
Energy sometimes seems to correlate with agreeableness and extroversion. Everyone I've worked with who does this has been a nightmare, I never get any valuable negative feedback and it's impossible to tell when something is going astray when everything is a degree of very positive. Sure, the same is true when everything is a degree of negative (which of course is worse and equally unproductive).

High energy people are also in my opinion the most draining to work with and the most likely to be discounted as juvenile or inexperienced.

In my opinion, the best indicators of talent are being humble, metered, incredibly well spoken / articulate and willing to help someone out of a situation they'd otherwise be afraid to go through with a superior. Handling stress without being a adderral ridden monkey while maintaining resolve is a trait that the most talented brilliant people I've ever worked with have had.
Yeah, I dropped my prime a couple of years back and haven't missed it. Now Amazon has gone from my first stop to my last, after manufacturers and specialty stores. Amazon was a huge improvement back when it was new, but in my experience most retailers have caught up, while Amazon has been getting worse.
You bet! I don't remember why it wasn't on my radar at the time. Maybe I just didn't find it in my searches? I might have seen it, didn't perceive much active development (eg to support newer OSes), and moved on to the next option, but I don't specifically remember that.

Regardless, I'd review it if I were writing that post today. Note, though, that the mobile app is $9/yr. Cross-device sync was one of my personal requirements, so Copy 'Em would only be $1/yr cheaper than Paste.
I've also seen people whose output changes. Some people really not developing fast at the start but after a few years, finding a new steep and steady upwards trajectory.
The act of having the discussion not just the act of pushing buttons or holding the phone is the primary distraction. Anyone using hands free for safety is doing safety wrong. You might as well be driving drunk for the duration of the conversation.
Isn't org-mode tied to emacs? Also, does it have a specification? I searched for a specification and found this (https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax.html) and couldn't understand whether it is a proper spec. Without a well-defined spec, it becomes very hard to create tooling around it. For example, Markdown was using Perl scripts initially and didn't have a spec for some time.

What the OSINT people here in Spain has been saying is a combination of this factors:

Material factors:

- Gas in Ukraine. Not only pipelines, but apparently there's plenty of reservoirs.

- Apparently there's also a pressing issue with water in Crimea.

- Industry. Ukraine retains a lot of industry and expertise from USSR, including expertise about how to build and maintain some of their nukes. Many advanced stuff was designed in Ukraine too.

- The buffer doctrine. Just put as much land between you and your potential enemies, as europe is pretty much a cone plain from Berlin to Moscow. Russia is pretty much indefensible on that regard as there are no natural accidents to help stopping enemies.

Inmaterial:

- Some shared views by the russian intelligentsia close to Putin and Putin himself, about some ehtno historical views about Russia, the Russians etc. Not clear how much this plays a role, and it's not yet clear to me what is it about, but they say it's there.

- Too many yes men around Putin. Aparently FSB and other agencies told this people what they wanted to hear. It's not clear to what extent this is common, but apparently they all believe this has a high probability of being true for at least this very issue.

Probably some other stuff I forget. They have been focusing on trying to get some sanity on TV, but without much success.

This scene in Spain is interesting as there's a retired General (Pedro Baños) who has been very hostile with this people. Before the invasion he mocked them as being NATO mouthpieces. He has a large following in Spain, so despite they try to ignore him, they get a lot of heat for it.
> Software engineering should be about more productive UX, not flexing one’s ability to parse arbitrary syntactic art.

Tasks lists are generally useless without their context. It makes sense to have tasks along their context (be it plain-text, markdown, JS, python...) Also it's more maintainable and portable. YAML/JSON/SQlite will be a headache when the user decide to migrate to another tool. This approach only require a text editor, any text editor in any platform. You can plug in whatever you prefer for syncing and sugar.

For a very few cases I use YAML to store data that isn't parsed by any program (only by me). And I can write a comment like 'TODO: Do something.' or "FIXME: X isn't working.' On the terminal using a code searcher and a text editor I can easily find and jump on those.

Right, but seems like that's complicated enough to prevent mass adoption, also not particularly secure from traffic analysis. A p2p client could potentially have e2e encryption, be pretty much turn key, find all clients globally, and be traffic analysis resistant. Ideally as easy to use as signal.

Why would someone create their own parameters for deployment and not strictly research? There are plenty curves studied by academic experts out there that aren't even NIST.
Actually they have changed their position on this in the latest, now ratified spec; the quire is now just a data type. How you implement it is up to you, but you can certainly have more than one.

A lot of the material about posits is out of date, including the Cult of Posits. The +/- Inf has been replace with NaR. As an aside: interestingly MININT maps to and from NaR when converting between posits and integers.

OK, hands up all those who were about to post something similar.
The summary says workers voted "by a wide margin" for a union, but it looks like it was 2,654 votes for, 2,131 against, which is 55.5% to 44.5% or a margin of 11%. I wouldn't call that a wide margin, but maybe it could be considered so in these sorry-ass times of perpetual 51-to-49 deadlock.
Pretty good April 1 post!
There's something that's been bugging me I've been trying to put into words. Lately I've been teaching programming to high schoolers and college students, and I kind of feel like, the sort of people who want to pay someone to teach them rather than figuring it out by themselves are going to have a distinct disadvantage.

Maybe it's just a case of "I did things the hard way so everyone else should too" -- my path was certainly not efficient! But I have to wonder if they lack that "grit", and if it can be taught or if is something innate.

Here's another example which might illustrate the same mindset: I go to IRC as a last resort, because I don't want to ask anything I could have solved in a few minutes by myself (or worse, that I could have found on Google!)

But when I do go to IRC, I formulate my question very precisely, explain the facts, the steps I took, my hypothesis... and 9 times out of 10, just the act of writing the question out causes the solution to become obvious! (Or reveals something I forgot to try, which then solves the problem...)
I did the same thing when my grandfather died: A grid with each square representing a week of his life, and each row representing one year. Then, we mapped as many events from his life as possible.
> there is always going to be a bottom wage where people "struggle"

Oh? Why's that? And how long have you spent struggling at the bottom rung?
> "You shouldn't be able to tweet racist messages"

This seems right on the surface, but the problem is that it's really hard to determine what a racist message is. For instance, if black people want to discuss their frustration with white people in honest language, it might sound pretty racist. But I'm not sure any of us would want to curtail that. FB had this exact problem not too long ago..

Yeah, the VC invests in DAO, gets involved in scams, does murder to cover up his tracks, gets caught, gets death penalty.

Only trouble with this scenario is that the VC can probably hold up the execution with appeals for more than 5 years.
In the initial proposal for the IEEE floating-point standard, whether to have 1 or 2 values for infinities was configurable, like the rounding mode.

However before the standard was adopted it was decided to reduce the number of configurable modes and the single-value infinity was dropped.

But that's the difference between authentication and authorization - sure, you've logged in, and we can verify that, but now we need to know if you're permitted to do what you're trying to do. And yes, authorization will then have awareness of some amount of application/business logic.
You are constantly bathed in your neighbors wifi, emf from nearly cell phone towers and even more intense from the sun. Scheduling your routers wifi to turn off is absolute nonsense.
I think the space of video game development has bifurcated into two groups: companies that are devoted to quality and making great games, and companies that are devoted to money and seek to squeeze consumers for every last drop through their games. This ridiculous plan to make us all buy NFTs makes it easier than ever to distinguish between the two groups. Fuck Ubisoft and their dog shit cookie cutter games.
> and fire fast.

I'd straight up not work for a place that took this approach. Seems like a great way to fuck over the folks who made a big life change to join you. Though this philosophy is probably super effective, as long as you're willing to not think about the effects it has on others. Yikes!
Foot pedals. I'm using one with three axis for flight simulation. One day I ran linux on the computer they were connected to, not "using" them, just connected.

Suddenly, without any warning, my screen turned left/right/upside down like it would on a tablet.

After the initial surprise it took a bit of time to figure out that it was caused by stepping on the pedals. And even more time to figure out that anything unkonwn with three axis is considered an accelerometer, and that an accelerometer defaults to turn the screen in gnome.

It was a long time ago. I haven't checked recently if there's finally a hwdb or whatever is needed for systemd to do some meaningful mapping.
Ideology can make even the highly-credentialed pretty dumb.

But did Mr. Wolff really say – "The basic concept of capitalism is that there are capital owners, and they hire workers who use that capital to generate value. The capital owners receive all of that value and then pay the workers for their time." – ? Where?
The way it's done at my current company is that services do their own minimal authorisation based on their own business logic, if any at all, and the rest is done by a dedicated "policy service" that is called by the request composer (which is the only service the FE calls) to do very advanced checks on what individual users are and aren't allowed to do, with the policy service being configurable through YAML "policy documents". It seems to work very well for the colleagues of mine that work on it.
Energy must be inspired and directed.

No, originally there were -/+ inf. NaR replaced this at some point, but semantically not much changed.
'"Seriously, Stop Using RSA" for Dummies' please!

e.g. for a fullstacker who spins up the latest Ubuntu LTS then generates a pair of 4,096-bit RSA keys using default openssh-server set over a high-number TCP port, what should they be doing that is different?
I think the author Wolf Tivy is on to something even if a joke, but I'm in the middle of researching it so I haven't formed any coherent thoughts about it. I read this yesterday:

Many of those influenced by Marshall McLuhan—including fellow Canadian David Cronenberg—did not share the media theorist’s religious views; most of them weren’t even aware that the media seer had deep faith. Yet McLuhan’s religious sense offered structure, symbolism, and perhaps even song for his media explorations. Those persuaded by his media theories are not automatically persuaded by the religious vision that underpins them—yet we might consider that their attraction to a thinker so steeped in God suggests a theological osmosis of sorts. God made his way into media theory through McLuhan, whether it was recognized or not. Rather than fading into history like many of his provocative contemporaries, McLuhan has gained traction and credibility as the years have passed. It is fascinating to realize that McLuhan only becomes more of a prophet the further our world turns to the digital.

McLuhan’s appearance on the masthead [of Wired] might be a quirk or a wink of the technology magazine’s staff were it not for the faith of Kevin Kelly [executive editor of Wired] — and how that faith has influenced his vision of technology. Kelly has argued that “technology is actually a divine phenomenon that is a reflection of God.” Technology, for Kelly, offers us another way to try to understand the impossible: at our best, we might only apprehend God as metaphor; even with all the “artificial intellects we make,” we might only have “the slightest glimmer of who God is.”

I wonder what McLuhan would say about the Metaverse?

I nominate SerenityOS as the new spiritual computing platform, because it reflects a spiritual desire to create and live rather than decay and die.

The simple fact is that an adult needs X amount of money to be able to live with roommates, eat, drive their car to your job, etc.

That amount of money is about $15 most places in the country at absolute minimum and that will be a struggle.

If you can't afford to pay someone enough money at 40 hours a week that they can live with 1 other person in an apartment, eat, buy a car, maintain a car, buy gas, and have a small amount of cash left over--then your business isn't a viable business man.

There are IT/engineering/developer unions in Europe. Their popularity varies between countries and between sectors.

However, "union shops" or "closed shops" don't exist, so the situation isn't directly comparable to the USA.
