If the TOTP code is transferred via email, then it is less secure because email is usually transferred in the clear unencrypted. If the TOTP secret is transferred over encrypted http connections via QR code or similar to the user, so the TOTP codes can be generated locally on their phone or similar, then that is more secure.

You also have to make sure to generate and transmit recovery codes in case they lose their phone.

TOTP is also kind of annoying to use.

I've often felt this way about spruced-up Doom ports. Bilinear texture filtering and hi-res exposes the simplicity of the geometry and textures, it's like when TV went HD, and TV-quality sets/costumes/makeup suddenly looked "worse". It's probably still a net win if you want to blast through third-party levels. See: https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/DOOM%20II%3A%20Hell%20o...

I personally draw the line at colored lighting :)

Naively, I'm interested in whether raytraced Doom would be a good way to experiment with reproducing Doom's original atmospherics in a less pixelated way. Unfiltered texturing, 320x200, and the lossiness of palettized graphics (https://doomwiki.org/wiki/COLORMAP looks gross!) makes the world dark and blurry, it'd be cool to have the same atmosphere without the pixelation and moire effects.
Yes, that does sound like a joke.

A thousand 11-line files? You definitely could not make that guarantee of the people I work with.
Multiply that by the number of employees who need it ... staging is cheaper.
That's a little-bit of what I've done. Maybe put in another way: I've become more adaptable.
From the notice:

> It affected the system that generates up-to-date schedules for trains and staff.

...boy oh boy did trying to look into what NS uses for crew scheduling ever send me down a rabbit hole.

I don't know if the systems have changed but while poking around online I found this[1] doc about the Netherlands' timetable revamp around 2006 and it talks about the complexity of TURNI-- their on-the-fly crew scheduling system.

> A typical workday at NS includes approximately 15,000 trips for drivers and 18,000 for conductors. The resulting number of duties is approximately 1,000 for drivers and 1,300 for conductors. This leads to extremely difficult crew scheduling instances. Nevertheless, because of the highly sophisticated applied algorithms, TURNI solves these cases in 24hours of computing time on a personal computer. Therefore, we can construct all crew schedules for all days of the week within just a few days.

Then I found more detail about TURNI's implementation in this[2] paper about optimizing crew scheduling for timetables.

> In the railway industry the sizes of the crew scheduling instances are, in general, a magnitude larger than in the airline industry. Moreover, crew can be relieved during the drive of a train resulting in much more trips per duty than typical in airlines. In other words, the combinatorial explosion is much higher. The latter has made the application of these models in the railway industry prohibitive until recently.

Cool stuff.

Finally, gleaning from ns.nl's careers page[3] everything else in their IT land outside this system runs off SAP (likely including the actual distribution of the output of crew scheduling) so if I had to gamble I'd say the failure happened somewhere in the integration between them.

I appreciate the discussion, but I don't really see the evidence in the numbers for these companies over the last decade or so, maybe it appears on a 20-30 year timeframe. Their gross margins and SG&A haven't changed significantly, although they have for others like Columbia Sportswear. American Apparel, just to pick out one of your examples, was bankrupted with MiUSA.

I'm wondering about the impact of ecommerce now though, especially higher return rates.
I also feel like Jekyll plus GitHub Pages is the easiest solution. I feel it is more minimal than the posted product. Jekyll plus GitHub is free, and aside from an initial setup and small learning curve, it is basically automatic. I am getting ready to publish my blog, and it's been nice to be able to customize things (like adding in MathJax support).

Nice theme by the way. :)

> I'm curious, do you have young kids?

I do, two to be exact. And they don’t mind masks at all.

> Not a single parent I know hasn't mentioned how horrible the last two years have been for their kids' social skills and mental health.

I’m getting the sense that this is a parents problem. Children’s brains are objectively more flexible and accepting to changes. And if we were to accept that there might be some mental health issues as a result of pandemic measures, we must also concede that death of close ones is a more radical and permanent cause of those.

In other words, kids cannot pick and choose here. They may not benefit from not seeing their friends for a while, but they will most definitely be impacted by a loss in their family circle.
I've looked through the network inspector on redirects like these and it's actually pretty interesting. Usually they start with a parked domain on a service like Sedo, or other ad services like PropellerAds, then you're redirected through sites that buy (potentially low quality) traffic, detect bots, and resell the now bot-free traffic for more than they bought it for. One company that does this is Intango. (They own forwrdnow.com, clksite.com, mybetterdl.com, 7proof.com, etc) The adware extensions and tech support scams and Capital One Shopping then buy that traffic and do their thing.

My impression is that once you're at Facebook scale, most of your migrations are massive undertakings that need to take into account things like "How many terabytes more space do we need?", "How do we control the load on our DB nodes while the migration is going on?", "How do we get data from cluster A to cluster B?", "Is adding this index going to take hours and break everything?", and so on. Some of the time you'll be spinning up an entirely new cluster rather than changing the schema of an old one, and when you do migrate an existing cluster there's some five-page document specifying a week-long plan with different phases.

Then internally, they work around the inflexible db schemas by using offline batch processing tools or generic systems that can handle arbitrary data, for tasks that would be handled by the one DB in smaller systems.

I know that you're probably refering to US, but I don't make any comment about it, because I don't live there, so I don't know what really happened in US.

In Romania some people found partially burned ballots with only opposition votes next to a garbage bin before the elections ended. The proofs of voter fraud couldn't have been clearer. It's supposed to be a scandal, but nothing will happen about it.

True. The point of standard tests though is that it scales. The hope is that the test is able to identify at least those who have studied in general (or even better, geniuses are able to pass without studying).

"Get-to-know-each-other" type of interviews are nice, but it's rather inefficient when a job posting receives hundreds of applications.

> For a lot of things, this makes staging useless, or worse.

That depends on what Staging is used for, if its used to run e2e tests, giving a demo to PMs etc, you can use Staging. For performance testing you can setup a similar env like Prod, run your perf tests and then kill the perf env or you can scale up the staging env, dont let anyone use it except for performance and then scale it down.

> They're not arguing that testing or staging environments are bad, they're just saying their organization couldn't manage to get them working.

That is exactly what I got from reading this article. Their staging process was poorly set up and they simply abandoned ship. Additionally, I was getting poor software culture vibes.
You covered the main driving reasons that involve insurance. I think there are also factors inherent to medicine that make health tech “scammable”.

There are few objective truths in medicine. Our understanding of human health is still fairly basic. On top of that, many of our best interventions, drugs, and procedures produce only middling results. When the state of the art is poor, it’s easy to sell a vision for improvement.

Measuring the success of health tech is very difficult. What does product market fit look like for early cancer detection? From afar, it may seem as if success for a cancer screening company should be simple to measure: how many cancers can the technology/company detect?

That’s not the case. In medicine there are always confounding factors. For example, in cancer detection, many cancers are low threat (not the same as benign). Identifying a cancer that is unlikely to threaten your life, or worse a false positive result, will end up making your health worse. You will undergo unnecessary biopsies and stress until the issue is resolved.

You might think: OK, but that’s measuring the wrong thing, the real metric to measure is how much longer those patients live with or without the cancer screening tech. You’d be right, but accurately measuring that takes 5+ years.

All this is to say, health tech is a difficult path, perhaps the most difficult path to production in all of tech. Along that road, there are many opportunities for unethical operators to cut corners.
That's all correct. While researching, I potentially found another mistake: Not sure if others see it the same way, but to me, ‘Aldi brand groceries‘ means that the brand of those products is literally called ‘Aldi’. According to a WAZ article [0], Aldi's house brand for their butter is ‘Milsani’. (By the way, apparently Aldi South's equivalent is ‘Milfina’, which is totally what Awkwafina should change her name to if she becomes a mother.)

Doom has that "pixel perfect" feeling that many early highly-polished games had. With that few pixels, it's actually possible to consider each one individually and how it works with the whole.

The amount of actual 3D polygon detail you need to imitate that is quite high - compare WarCraft 2 to WarCraft III and Starcraft 2.

I worry that it is the expected result of taking away hope. Powerful actors try, and have succeeded - with our unwitting help - in spreading a highly reactionary message of despair, disabling those who might challenge their power. You have no power; only the wealthy and large corporations, and all that matters is profit.

Progress; the equal value of individuals from any class, status, ethnicity, gender, etc; the power of any individual to change the world through hard work; - the things humanity has worked for since the beginning of the Enlightenment, with incredible success - are derided, even here in the heart of innovation and entrepreneurialism, which fundamentally depend on those notions. The garages of Silicon Valley defeated IBM.

Younger generations now believe they have no power, that humanity is fundamentally evil and corrupt, that progress isn't possible. Look at climate change: most believe not that, 'the people, united, can never be defeated', but that nothing can be done. We have the tools, the knowledge, the need is clear, but the powerful have created despair. That's not what I grew up with; I grew up with hope, and people who changed the world, from George Washington to Dr King, from Isaac Newton to Albert Einstein, from Edison to Jobs.

Even the left-of-center and many progressives have adopted this message. Somone - that means you - needs to start spreading one of hope. I think they would be incredibly popular.

I agree. I didn't come from a prestigious family and I didn't go to a prestigious school. I graduated with less than a 2.0 GPA because I didn't care when I started school. Because of the standardization of tech interviews, I'm able to work anywhere. I don't think it would have been as easy for someone like me 20 years ago. Then again, I have no idea.

My hypothesis is that those biotech companies which pitch to YC, largely a tech/Silicon Valley incubator, are more likely to be, if not scams, then embrace the “move fast, break things” mentality which for biotech can be either dangerous or bullshit (100+ “therapy” and “mental wellness” apps)
Russia failed to meet its objectives (blitzkrieg), but Ukraine totally failed in actually defending its own population and strategic locations. Their tactic seems to have been inflicting loses and strategically retreating. This worked great due to dysfunctional structure of Russian Army command. Order of a General means you will repeatedly try airborne landings into enemy controller Hostomel airport under direct fire, it means you will move choppers into Kherson Airbase targeted by artillery fire 3 times in a row, etc.

Handheld anti-armor weapons are great, but I would preferer my military to actually stand their ground in front of a city giving me time to evacuate. Instead Ukraine almost acted like they deliberately tried to look weak and vulnerable. Not only there was no mobilization, but they didnt even evacuate Antonov fleet (huge strategic asset) despite both direct NATO warning in early February and petition written by the pilots/crews. Its either a brilliant plan to make them look pathetic to provoke Russian overconfidence, or enormous strategic blunder by someone high up simply not believing attack would happen.
Absolutely. I remember when I first tried the game out in a computer store back then being blown away at how real it all felt.

I will say, seeing the ray tracing clip here with the dynamic shadows sort of gave me that same feeling of seeing Doom for the first way back in the early '90s.

I guess you can make an argument that it's racial discrimination in the same sense that affirmative action is racist. But it rings hollow when the same people who have been discriminating against black people for years suddenly have a problem with 'racism'.

Not only in condominiums. In suburbia they also manage commons, but also impose rules on what you can do with your house and on your land. You likely need permission for color changes, there might be limitations on what can and cannot be planted in your front yard. You might get fined if your house doesn't fixes when the HOA decides they are needed or when you repeatedly don't bring your garbage in quickly.

I'm not sure what to make of the choice part here. Once an area is under an HOA it's almost impossible to dissolve the HOA. Anecdotal evidence from my own HOA which my wife was president of for many years shows that only very few people get involved. The people who do get involved tend to be of the type who want to overreach. When my wife was president she probably spent more time trying to bring the other folks involved in the HOA back to what's reasonable. Fortunately management companies also help with this. I'm afraid that without management companies most HOAs would devolve into attempts to build a miniature fascist state that only would be stopped by prolonged court battles.

Except if you look where the gap is the widest, it’s places that have high paying blue collar jobs in heavy industry that are the big employers and male dominated (e.g Odessa, TX = oilfield, Beaumont, TX = Refining and petrochemical, Houma, LA = offshore oil and gas, etc,), so at least at the local level I think it’s driven more by what are the pervasive high paying industries and are they tilted largely to one gender…
Almost everyone cannot say they regret building it though. It's not the same thing.
Yes, the SAT prep industry is nearly entirely fraudulent. People will pay you for something they want, regardless of whether you can actually give it to them.

Sure, but at the other end of the spectrum you get "know a guy" interviews where interviewers just hire their friends if they are the only person in the hiring process.

Where I work (and even other co's my friends work at) even if you wanna hire a friend as a candidate, your friend still has to go through a full interview process.

What's the alternative look like?
