> Aaand we're down to single-factor authentication

We're not, not really. The only single password that can unlock 2FA is that for the password manager, but most phishing attacks I'm aware of target the specific services, not password managers, since it's usually way easier to fake a banking login. Good password managers will have dedicated apps, so entering that password on some janky website is not something victims will be used to, plus there should be something 2FA-ish as well (biometrics on an iPhone etc.), so that particular password should be considerably harder to get ahold of than most. That doesn't protect against a fully compromised device, but that's not something 2FA is very effective against anyway. I'd say it's good enough for now.

Perfect shouldn't be the enemy of the good; security is always a trade-off between less-than-perfect alternatives, and the obvious alternative for lots of people will be a .txt on their Desktop or in their Dropbox or even an email to themselves, or no 2FA at all. I've been told that no attacker would find one person's password list since they disguised it as an email draft, who'd think to look there? Putting backup codes in one's primay 1Password vault doesn't fare that badly against those.

> I do recommend a password manager, but not to keep would-be-two factors in one vault.

A separate vault means another password, where do you keep that? It'll be needed very infrequently, so it's easy to forget, especially under stress. Also, you'll want to make sure you have it when you're seven timezones away and just lost your phone, since vacation is prime phone-losing time and also a time when you might have to get at your emails really urgently, e.g. for travel documents; that's also a situation where printing out backup codes on paper might bite you if they stay behind at home. I'm not even sure how I'd set this up, afaik 1Password (Cloud) and LastPass don't support vault-level passwords.

This is a surprisingly little-discussed problem outside of corporate. And when it is discussed, many knowledgeable people view personal security through a corporate security lens, which isn't very practical, making this an IMO pretty underserved niche. I've discussed this with lots of people and I'm still not aware of any silver bullet solution, but the recommendation from TFA seems like a decent compromise for a sizable cohort, especially younger people who aren't comfortable with paper documents and/or are highly mobile.
CarPlay / Android is a separate £200 upgrade.
I must say, I really like using (the weirdly-named) Hash Photos (https://www.hashphotos.app/) for quickly finding which photo in a bunch of similar photos to keep. You can choose which photos to compare, then keep marking the comparison photos as best until you have decided. Zooming is synchronised, and you can delete particularly bad photos as you go. It does that one thing very well.
> I think it's more likely that all of this happened behind the back of Russia.

I remember the events in the article (denuclearization of Ukraine,and other; Kazakhstan’s radioactive being sold to US) as they appeared in the contemporaneous news. Setting things up as described in the article may have been low key but in the end the process was public.

Russia had enough going on at the time.
Ok, maybe I am missing something here. The link points to a list Apple is hosting without any context.

Does anyone know why this list is hosted and what it is used for?

Is it even used?

Edit: some 7 year old posts suggest it was used by Spotlight.

I also am a little amazed it loaded and scrolls smooth on Firefox mobile...
> There are many, many examples where that is both not true and true. For the not true cases, just see literally any customer service interaction with a large company in the past half decade. I suppose this could be arguable though if one asks the question "efficient for who?".

Another example I love, that is even less ambiguous, is restaurants (traditional, not fast food) that require waiters to take orders on touchscreen PoS systems, instead of taking the orders on a notepad and inputting them later. The touch screens are incredibly slower on a bigger party ordering appetizers, a main course, drinks and desert - it takes forever to navigate back and forth and find the right item, and usually has to be done again and again for each diner. By comparison, a notepad allows the waiter to write down exactly what they hear, often just making small extra notes to indicate duplicate items.

Of course, this particular one could be improved by arranging the menus more naturally for someone taking orders, and several other conveniences (such as always keeping the current order on screen, to easily tap to add "oh, and another beer for me", "I'll have the same desert as her" etc).
The Ukranians can fire back? Such as at Belgorod? Besides, even rocket artillery range is only about 30km. Kyiv is now out of range of everything except airstrikes, and Russian air power is of limited effectiveness as they never achieved air superiority.

It is quite possible the Ukranians will retake everything taken in the recent offensive. The question is then whether they will also attempt to retake Donetsk, Luhansk, and Crimea.

It probably will be a long war if they do.
But they're not, at least, not yet afaics and as I wrote above if the only reason you obtain that citizenship is to avoid prosecution in your home country you might just lose it again.
Burner numbers are close, but if you use the same one for all your contacts it still becomes an identifier, even if you rotate it. An alternative is a proxy service where you get issued a unique pin for each person-to-person connection, so the same phone number gets used by multiple parties. Those both use the existing phone network in better ways. With a VoIP system you don't need numbers, you just don't want to trade them for usernames or some other global identifier. I implemented one approach with Severus, but I'm also looking for alternatives that increase privacy.

I use the App Flic to sift through my photos. It lets you pick a month (or I think day) and then you go through your photos right swiping (keep) and left (trash bin to review once again before emptying.)

Another app, Gemini, can help you find photos of nothing (floor shots, sky shots, pocket shots) and blurry shots and duplicates.
The article starts with the point that these were pellets, presumably each packaged safely on its own.

AI can put out hundreds of thousands of articles telling you why global warming is a good thing. After all, nothing has meaning to an AI: not its own survival, and certainly not yours.

No, Slug’s technique can handle AA and do it well. The problem with Slug for general purpose UI frameworks is it needs to do a lot of pre-processing on it’s data to do the good job it does.
This is interesting, thanks for mentioning. I wonder what the learning from that is though? Like, if you notice the difference, do you adapt to the other style? I feel like I can do that, but it also feels weird and "not me".
This is already allowed on twitter, along with lots of other "cancelled opinions" (despite any stated rules to the contrary - they do not take action against such posts). One of the freedoms you have in many parts of the internet is being able to express regressive opinions like that without being banned or having your posts deleted.

I'd much rather see public investment in projects that will make the world livable once energy and resources are no longer cheap. Rail transportation in particular. Every car a person is not required to own to live in America would save them ~$10,000 a year in costs today. When cars and gas are more expensive, they'll save even more. Those savings might even save them from losing their home or going hungry if things get bad.

In particular, I look at suburban areas with no stores or workplaces for miles, where the only transport option is the car, and I struggle to see how they won't become blighted slums (like what Detroit's became as it shrank) when gas and cars are too expensive for the average person to afford.
All my coding in the 80s was in assembly language. Interviews were more about low level hardware knowledge, not much about software algorithms. The way interviews are conducted now sucks.

Not in my case - no crypto, no recent large transfers. I'm a boring middle-aged IT consultant, not a terrorist, drug dealer or crypto trader. There was absolutely nothing I'd done with my account that should have caused this to happen.

That's what's so kafkaesque (and frankly rather violating) about the experience: you literally haven't the faintest idea what you've done wrong and the bank refuses to tell you.

I think a lot of newer banks will be "cloud native" and there are companies such as Thought Machine that are developing cloud-native core banking systems (https://thoughtmachine.net/vault)

For legacy banks, it will be much harder to move a mainframe based core banking system to the cloud, or migrate from a mainframe system to a new cloud system.
They are 100% not behind the 'We cant tell you why'. It only takes the smallest amount of reading to figure that out. They have to report it to the FCA and you can read the reports from the FCA that suggest its not actually any worse than other banks. Its just more talked about. (No I am not going to dig them out for you).
Cheating at a game when there is money on the line is no less of a grift than robbing convenience stores, and there's plenty of lying involved. That's why they are called "hustlers," not because they do it for money.

Programming in and of itself was just appearing as a job field (outside of the business field with cobol or rpg). It was mostly done by the people with the problem as a secondary skill. Yeah, minicomputers in a larger shop might have an operator or two (now sysadmin). But it was chemists or physicists or whatever using Fortran on a mini, or assembler for performance. C and Unix were novel things appearing with Milnet -> Arpanet as the networks merged and tcp/ip replaced things like decnet and token ring.

So hiring was “do you grok the problem space, what have you done to show you can code?” The HS and lower hackers of the 60’s and 70’s were turning into the college and grad school hires. Unless they just skipped all that academic BS and just made $$. There wasn’t enough need for pure coding skill in the application areas to justify non-discipline experts. Those were at the research labs thinking up modern computing. And even those had to rely of a friendly or ambivalent management chain for continued funding.

Quants, for example, came out of the chemistry and physics fields with people who had done molecular or hydrodynamics or some other time-based modeling. Hell, computer science departments themselves were just organizing in the mid-late 70’s as math profs retrained themselves with the help of the rugrat hackers. Unless they came out of EE in an engineering school. Ivy League schools didn’t offer credit for “engineering” courses like CS to arts & science majors in the 70’s.
Question: I found python "bindings" for SFML, written in cython, and patched them a bit.

I think the emphasis on this title is 'Learning' as the principles described don't only apply to maths and very much shouldn't be the end point for understanding a concept.

Reducing a concept to a 'cartoonish' essence is really the secret to getting an intuition for a new concept, to allow the learner to 'get' it for the first time. The reason is that when one sees something for the first time, its value or meaning isn't apparent. It's just shapes on a page. In other subjects it might be words on a page or a list of events without any throughline or narrative.

Reducing something to a 'cartoon' allows you to focus on the orthogonality - the thing that that concept does that can't be done elsewhere and the reason why you should pay attention and find somewhere in your mind palace to put this new thing.

But I would emphasise that while the ability to understand something well enough to reduce something to its bare essence for a given audience requires a high level of understanding and mastery, the thing the article skims over somewhat is that for the audience this is only the first step and should be re-enforced and expanded upon almost immediately.

BetterExplained as an outlet mostly focus on the pop-explanations sector which is underserved in Mathematics (with 3Blue1Brown and Numberphile doing a lot of heavy lifting) but as a general philosophy of learning, this article needs a bit more development.

That's not the framing. For the majority of travelers, missing a weekend trip is an annoyance. In contrast, missing their work is a major headache, for them personally. It also cascades pretty badly if it happens on a lathe scale - meetings get pushed and overlap others, suplliers are not able to deliver, stalling production, financial operations get delayed, potentially affecting deadlines - it's a huge mess in everyone's life that won't just go away when trains come back. It's also as true for non-profits, state organizations and schools as it is for businesses.
The client could receive a signed problem to solve and then send it back with the answer. Any server could verify it.
I can't speak for the parent commenter, but there is often code processing the input/output of machine learning models that benefits from high-performance implementations. To give two examples:

1. We recently implemented an edit tree lemmatizer for spaCy. The machine learning model predicts labels that map to edit trees. However, in order to lemmatize tokens, the trees need to be applied. I implemented all the tree wrangling in Cython to speed up processing and save memory (trees are encoded as compact C unions):

https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/blob/master/spacy/pipelin...

2. I am working on a biaffine parser for spaCy. Most implementations of biaffine parsing use a Python implementation of MST decoding, which is unfortunately quite slow. Some people have reported that decoding dominates parsing time (rather than applying an expensive transformer + biaffine layer). I have implemented MST decoding in Cython and it barely shows up in profiles:

Just want to say that https://BetterExplained.com has long been one of my favorite sites; IMHO the more math teachers and students know about it the better. The author's ability to make potentially daunting subjects comprehensible, even intuitive, is a rare and powerful gift.

Yes exactly this, I bought a Kona Electric in November and on paper next to Tesla etc it’s not a great car. In reality it’s the best car I’ve ever owned (no hyperbole). I charged every other day for a ~60 mile round trip and never saw a gas pump. Although since then I’m full remote and it just sits in the driveway.
the fear of that happening to me was the reason I terminated my account too, reading people having their main account frozen out of nowhere for months was very concerning
I think Lithium Graphite batteries show up with better stats, even they have higher energy efforts in the production.
You either misunderstood, misremembered or were misinformed. As long as I've been taking the trains (20 years or so) here, the monitors have always updated with schedule changes. Even when the information screens were still analogue, they updated with delays and track changes.

It might be that what you heard only applied to international trains, those have generally lagged behind technology-wise (though nowadays there's certainly also real-time schedule information for them).

In Pascal that is really common, since the files are the modules. You publish your library as one file, and the user can import it by the file name.

I ran wc on FreePascal to search for some. There are a few, but not as many as I expected.

9k file, data structures for the compiler itself: https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/blob/main/./c...

30k file: Pascal parser/scope resolver: https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/blob/main/pac...

And the record:

119k file, Sharepoint API (but it seems to be autogenerated): https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/blob/main/pac...

As far as libraries go, this is one of my favorites:

23k file, regular expression library: https://github.com/BeRo1985/flre/blob/master/src/FLRE.pas

I searched my own files and found a 197k file to parse HTML entities. But that was an autogenerated trie (one switch/case for each letter)

Based in my knowledge as a public transportation enthusiastist in China, I got really surprised to see a IT problem bring the entire system down. There should usually be some "more manual" backup mechanism that allows downgrade and operation of trains without computerized signaling system. By kinds of token signaling it will still be possible to run trains as long as the physical infrastructure is still there. The efficiency will be much lower and more prone to (potentialy deadly) errors, but no more trains today sounds unlikely.
That was with about a third of the current number of trains.[0] Expect complexity to go up exponentially as you increase the train frequency.

[0] Extremely rough off-the-cuff estimate. They were obviously automating as they went along during the years.
Don't confuse the properties you'd like the tests to have with the properties they do have, or with the properties they need in order to serve their purpose effectively. No effort is put into getting IQ tests to resist practice effects or knowledge of the structure of the questions, because taking the tests is not common.

Mountains of effort go into the same project for standardized tests, because taking those tests is common, and the whole point is to evaluate people for what they are rather than what they would like you to think they are.
It's more about addressing ways out of social conflicts due to misunderstanding context. Both sides can mean well but a mismatch in speech patterns can cause undue conflict. Understanding these differences gives you an "out" from those negative feelings.
Ukraine had stable relations with Russia until they decided they wanted to align with the west and adopt democracy when there was a color revolution in 2014. If they had remained a vassal state of Russia, their relationship would still be stable.

Similarly, the situation in Kazakhstan is stable because they are a vassal state of Russia. Watch what happened when there was the beginning of a color revolution there earlier this year: Russian quickly sent troops to assist the Kazakh government in violently putting it down. If a successful color revolution was to happen in Kazakhstan (unlikely), Russia would be playing the same military games with them that they are now doing with Ukraine.
> Sure, but that doesn't explain the sheer scale on which it happens

How do you know the scale and how are you not sure that it's a vocal minority? After all, Monzo does target more tech-savvy users that might be more likely to voice their frustration online than with other high-street banks.

Because maybe they are being forced to hide behind that? UK banking regulations are notoriously strict when it comes to what banks are allowed to share with their customers.

They got GPS tracking on the trains. Any delay over 5 minutes will show up automatically, less than 5 minutes you can see on the app. The train operator took over the information screens, so it's all part of the same company now.
