That still implies that I need to know to update the version constraint of what may be a very deep transitive dependency, doesn't it?

This is just very weird to read. What was this scammer’s endgame?

With all this info they can call up GoDaddy and redirect your domain (and all your emails) to themselves, or call AT&T and sim swap you. Why even call the actual account holder?

https://www.zdnet.com/finance/blockchain/fbi-warns-sim-swapp...

As for these “confirmation” emails or SMS — they are so dumb !!! Why don’t they just include a full description of the ACTION you are supposed to have taken, that you are expected to be confirming? In big red letters before the confirmation number. That way the scammer won’t be able to trick you. Sheesh, these companies haven’t figured out to include that?
The graph in the summary showing "SWA in the right PFC" is almost comically unconvincing.

Remove the two or three most extreme data points and the effect disappears completely. Even removing a single one of those extreme data points is probably enough to toss the significance of the fit and be fully consistent with zero correlation.
> Does it? I've never seen a lawn planted in 7-8" rows.

I've never seen 7.5" rows be row-able at that stage unless you line yourself up just perfectly. Given that the photographers aren't focused on the crop itself, what are the chances? With sufficient resolution of the photo maybe you can still tell, but someone's random cell phone photo isn't going to give you that. Even a top of the line camera scaled down to web resolutions is going to lose that information.

> Regardless of the species of plant in the photo, does that look like a tilled field to you?

No, but why would you till it? Wheat is the easiest crop to no-till out there. Even the moldboard mafia no-till their wheat. You'd have to be dealing with some heavy compaction or other issues with the land to justify that fuel burn just to grow poverty grass.

That seems reasonable.

I think I personally lean towards keeping them in separate files entirely because I like a clearer separation between human-authored content and machine-derived state.
> like, "is the sum of the last four digits even?" or "is the sum evenly divisible by 3?"

Exactly. After only a few of these you have an equivalent security level to checking the four digits directly but at each step of the way there is a 50% chance that the attacker, not knowing the number yet, gets it wrong and you stop giving more info. If they do a thousand calls a day, they'll still get some people, but it's probably not you so that's at least a small win.

You might enjoy learning about PAKE/SPEKE, which has similar properties.

It's a definitional distinction. The "black laptop market" is different from the "white laptop market", in much the same way as luxury good markets work (see also: the Apple Watch Edition). It's the same as with haircuts -- women have proven by and large to be willing to pay more for haircuts than men, so women's haircuts cost more, in general. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-based_price_discriminat...

Price discrimination gets a bad rep because of the name I think, but as Wikipedia points out student discounts are probably the best example and are basically uncontroversial.
From https://www.fasterpayments.org.uk/about-us/personal-transact... , the lowest Faster Payments limit I can find is GBP 10,000. GBP 25,000 is more common.

The technical limit for the system is GBP 1,000,000, and the lower limit is up to the bank to determine.

If I were selling a car in the UK, I'd ask for a bank transfer (e.g. laptop/mobile) and wait for it to confirm. If I wished to be especially careful, I'd meet the other person at their bank, and provide the cashier my bank details.

I think China may step up here, as it is a great opportunity to promote their One Belt, One Road Initiative. And they will be one of the countries with excess wheat to sell. And it will make Australia look stupid if they have wheat but no boats and no signature on the agreement.
I solved the switch input issue by using an automatic HDMI switch from Aliexpress. This thing is remarkably reliable at switching to any source that starts emitting a signal.

I don’t know if there are switches capables of turning on and off the TV based on the presence or lack or signal but that could be the ultimate solution to this issue.
The original implication and still the claim is that this app is for the purposes he describes. "This may well be that implementation." There is no evidence of such.

I'm not moving the goal posts. I'm asking him if he has any evidence that this app is for CSAM detection. So far, I've yet to see any.
As much as I have an extreme confidence in the technical ability of the involved folk, even TQTC did not manage to replicate it in an useful enough way so far in QML, and QML has been around for something like 11 years now.
Yep. This app, revj, uses Graphviz for layout. So, sure, force-directed layout.

The layout/rendering of the graphs isn't interesting to me, but parsing a SQL statement and extracting the relationship data is.
I had a similar idea (but did not realize it as I was focusing on something else at the time), and thought it would be great if a company could create a template for everything a startup needs, so thanks for making a start.

In practice, there are differences in preferences and jurisdiction that require such a solution to be quite flexible (e.g. auto-registering a domain, doing accounting, filing taxes in different countries, running payroll), but some things everyone needs (landing page, website with intranet access to secure shared collab: GitLab, CryptPad, Email etc). It is a bad idea to self-host something that isn't mature; but if there was a relatively bullet proof solution, many startups could save cost and increase their run rate this way.
There is more to it, but I would add we are in a golden age of sokoban-likes, each with their own twists that make them worth attention if you like the genre. A few of my favorites:

One of these days, if I'm ever bored and just have nothing else to do, I've always wanted to screw around with cellular automata built on a similar principle, where something triggers the cells to subdivide and/or unsubdivide, and there's some sort of flow back and forth between the levels. Seems like some interesting things might happen. (I've also thought the subdivided cells might run at a different time scale, too.) Not infinitely recursive, but similar in idea, I think.
I wonder if that's because vitamin d is a downstream effect of physical activity, which in sunlight increases vitamin d levels, and which strengthens bodies when they're fit enough to be strengthened?
The version constraint is always listed in your top level go.mod file, so you know the dependency exists, no digging into the dependency tree required at all, and it’s not hidden in some lock file no one ever looks at. Plus, there are plenty of tools that help you with this problem, including the language server helping you directly in your editor and Dependabot on GitHub.

I’m not aware of any languages that send you an email when your dependencies are out of date, so yes, you need to check them. Dependabot can do this for you and open a PR automatically, which will result in an email, so this is one way for people to stay on top of this stuff even for projects they deploy but don’t work on every single week.

If you’re suggesting that indirect dependencies should automatically update themselves, then you are quite literally saying those code authors should have a shell into your production environments that you have no control over, compromising all your systems with a single package update that no one but the malicious author got to review. It is possible with tools like Dependabot to be notified proactively when updates are required so you can review and apply those, but it is not possible to go back in time and un-apply a malicious update that went straight to prod.

Repeatedly assuming that the Go core team never thought through the design of Go Modules and how it relates to security updates is such a strange choice. Go is a very widely used language with tons of great tooling.
> Something that would never have happened in an exception based language.

Please, over-swallowed exceptions happen all the damn time. Same shit different day.

A really common Java problem:

T x = foo();
return x.bar();

Now foo() can throw, OK

try {
T x = foo();
return x.bar();
} catch (Something exc) {
return quux();
}

You just ate anything from bar(). Instead you gotta do

T x;
try {
x = foo();
} catch (Something exc) {
return quux();
}
return x.bar();

Which is longer and now your happy-path logic is noised up even worse than most Go handling.
Reinventing excel is sort of like reinventing the spoke wheel. It's so fundamentally simple yet so useful.
Labor cost to maintain is far more than the service cost for a small startup, most of the time you can get by on the free tiers for quite some time. Founders need to focus time/energy on what adds value, not updating services.
Thanks for the update! I was not aware of the situation and just joined the new community.
I like the way they start the new page by suggesting users to create a threat model. My threat model is almost zero (I don't do anything interesting that deserves surveillance) so to me, it's a matter of principle. I rather pay 1€/month rather than having Google scannning my personal emails. I rather donate to Linux Mint rather than having Microsoft monetize my desktop experience with crapware and ads.
Don't drag in ad-hominem attacks. If you want to defend Go's approach, explain why having it be the "operator's explicit responsibility" is a good policy, likely to make apps (in general) more secure. The obvious implication of the example given is that, on average, it will be a mess.

I was at my local coffee shop yesterday when the manager was on the phone for 10+ minutes with a scammer. Was a new one to me.

The landline caller ID showed "Madison Police Dept" - the local police. The caller introduced themselves as an investigator working a case with counterfeit bills. "Don't contact your boss/owner because we are not sure if they are in on it." The caller knew details like employees names and the layout of the store. The manager was going through the cash in the back "confirming" serial numbers when the owner got in touch and cleared things up.

I was confused about the end game for the scam, but online I've read a version where they send a courier to pick up the "counterfeit" bills. There's also a version where they convince the employee to purchase moneypak cards to be deposited into an account so that the 6AM audit shows balanced books making up for the counterfeit bills that will be confiscated. [1]

To a person that doesn't know caller ID can be spoofed, getting a call that shows up as coming from the local police department can put you in a mental state that it 100% is the police, and it will take a lot of counter information to realize that it isn't. Between that and the convincing reason to "don't tell your boss", I'm afraid this might be an effective scam until it's more widely known.

Keep in mind that grains are not only used for human consumption though. It's also used for animals. Egypt has 10M cattle alone [1] and a 1,000lb animal needs roughly 7x the calories as a person. [2] So that same largest cargo ship will only feed about ~200,000 cattle, requiring 50 such ships to feed the cattle population.

They produce about 1.8 billion heads of poultry [3], and in total only about 1/3 of their animal feed requirements are produced domestically [1].

Animal feed appears to be in a different category from other grain imports for human consumption, probably because it really is a separate product containing a mixture of grains and nutrients from other sources. Unfortunately though, much of it is also imported from Ukraine [4] which has banned all exports of grains for now, and it's probably a reasonable assumption that this will include grains used in animal feed, since the issue is the food security of their own people.

Eqypt is going to need a lot more newly-sourced grains or grain-based products, a large # of container ships full of it.

I had something similar. One time I got a phone call from a "Scam Likely" and decided to answer it. And it was an automated message from my bank asking if some purchases in another state were real or fraudulent. At this point I began to second guess if it was a scam or not, but had to assume it still was. I ended up logging into my account and seeing the same fraudulent purchases that it listed over the phone. So I called the number on my card and had it all settled. I found it weird that the original call was a false positive though.
Nice! I hope I wasn't coming across as critical of Dart's package manager, or Cargo for that matter.
This is the part everyone seems to miss when they say: just leave your job and go somewhere else. Go where? The vast majority of companies out there are doing virtually nothing, solving easy problems badly, run by narrow-minded narcissists, and trying to get their share of the dark-patterns pie by out-scummying each other with better adware, better privacy invasions, better user-addiction strategies. They're wannabe middlemen trying to do as little as possible to take their 2% of some other transaction. They're worthless, parasitic enterprises who write shitty code on a shitty stack with shitty developers and shitty managers and no willpower to change any of it.

How does shuffling around which logo is on the building you walk into supposed to fix any of these problems?
I am a beek, just hobby, and totally agree here.

It's one of the reasons I went full "topbarhive": no more lifting, dragging wooden boxes around and such. Less checking-up too, so overall much less work.

I'd like to add that bees, at least mine, have a thing against combustion engines. I think it's the vibration/shockwaves combined with the smoke.

So lawnmowers, bushwhackers, farm-tugs, chainsaws and such all need to be battery powered. Which is possible in 2022, but expensive. I've had to learn how to use an old-school scythe to keep my stand a bit nettle/grass free over the summer. Motor-mowing in my bee-suite, while being attacked by angree bees is not fun.
One reason there might be high demand is that people are not getting married as much or as early as they used to. So two people need housing rather than one.
Well, if we're going there, we might as well just delve into the whole Active Speaker thing and get into the amplifiers.

I followed MongoDB and Jespen in detail for years and I think "struggle to pass" is a correct characterization, which I believe even Kyle Kingsbury used it at one point. There was a long stretch where MongoDB treated Kingsbury as an enemy, and simply ignored him, or said he was wrong, then there were some years where they were saying "we dealt with all of the issues that Kingsbury raised" and then Kingsbury would write another blog post saying "Well, I still find these issues." Finally, MongoDB changed gears and decided to work with Kingsbury in a productive way, and then Jespen began to become part of the MongoDB test suite.

Hey, autor here) I agree with you: when you only start, you should pay 100% attention to custdev and use as much ready to go cloud services as you can. Thats why I included "Free for Dev" link.
However, I think that when you started development, especially with a team up to 10 people, or if you work with private information - you should hosting some of services and databases yourself. In my experience, at least private hosting of gitlab with CI&CD, databases and sometime monitoring system is a normal case.
Also, startup is not always start from zero, sometime it's just a new project in a tech company. So this pack can help to start just a usual new project)
And finally, this pack can be useful for developers who want to test new services locally. And I hope that it will be helpful for someone :)

In medicine, the Journal of the AMA and the New England Journal of Medicine seem to be the main sources of articles that reach the public's eye.

The editor of the New England Journal once complained that it was troubling how papers that had only tentative results, more suggestions for further research than conclusions, would get blown out of proportion in the mainstream news media.

Some of the burden is on the journalists, not the researchers.

Some farmers were delaying buying fertilizer, according to that article. Nothing in that article indicates that they were not planting because of a "shortage." Prices were simply higher and some people were betting on them going up and some were betting on them going down.

I'm in agreement with the idea that this isn't primarily caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Read the author's other thread on fertilizer for more context on that.

She says it's primarily a shipping problem, not a production of fertilizer problem. Which tracks with the idea that this is simply another example of the global supply chain snarling things up.
