Not that I'm discouraging people to use stronger security, by P-256 is perfectly safe. If you can wait an extra second or two for some connect operations, use P-521 or ED25519.

Honestly, I wish PGP was widely accepted. My "persistent" identity has a very long key, and I create "A" (auth) keys that expire. GPG has an SSH agent it's quite beautiful. SSH keys by themselves do all of this key management and rotation by hand and I find it quite silly.
Downvoters.. reflect on all the quackery in Western medicine for a moment. Writing so many paragraphs about all of the "stupidity in eastern wisdom" without recognizing you can make all of the same statements about Western traditions. Even in modern institutions.

So unnecessary just to say you like verifiable/repeatable studies.

You're misreading the agreement (unless it's changed significantly very recently). Like any non-compete I've ever seen/signed, it only applies to products/services that:

> Employee worked on or supported, or about which Employee obtained or received Confidential Information.

Totally fair if you don't want to enter that agreement, but the language is pretty standard.
Kind of. Cops on bicycles looking out for those running red lights.
> Stugna-P, Javelin, and NLAW all kinda have the same properties. They're large, bulky, and filled with a LOT of explosives.

This is a very common mis-conception. These weapons don't have a lot of explosive. They instead rely on very precise application of a little explosive, through an EFP design.

If you see a Javelin or NLAW hit an inert target, it's very modest. If you see a big explosion in a demo it's because they've filled it with fuel!

Well, actually, the opposite -- you have to understand the meaning of the symbol that is the sign.

In the US, you'll see a sign that's 9 lines of text that you're supposed to read & comprehend at 35 mph = 56 km/h.
It’s happening both at some scale and in some analogous ways. With regards to the latter, wealth and funds are ever shifting more and more to the ultra wealthy and corporations. Corporations and wealthy individuals get massive, massive tax breaks, government contracts, or subsidies. I consider this analogous to stealing from the common people. For the former, the U.S. has an ever increasing population of corrupt politicians and officials.

I am not saying it’s an identical situation, which seems to be the assumption of some. However, the oligarchical nature of the U.S. is not slowing down.

"Packet loss" is more interesting to nerds than consumers, who don't know what it means. Arguably it needs a better name.

"Delays due to retransmission" is short enough to fit the label, and is what a packet loss means _to the reader of the label_, rather than to me.
Why do you think multi-million dollar tax paying enterprises are acting in a way that guarantees higher taxation, policies more hostile to business, and, more oversight? What do you think they stand to gain from this?

Besides, I suppose, emphatically opposing the alternative? Could this be it? Perhaps the alternative side is somehow bad for their business?

I strongly feel this is would explain what you claim to see, something I do not.

What I actually see is that coercion is at the root of your philosophy. Your arguments, demand that you have freedom of action at the expense of others. Your issue is that you are unable to compel compliance. Unsurprising since that concept is at the root of your ideology. Quite transparently, and distastefully so.
Well, there's more to it than binary to text you. I agree with you, in that the signaling perception is probably easy. However, let's say that that frequency is coupled with several others, making for noise for poor discrimination.

Yes, they are called conspiracy theories. I don’t know if there is a more specific name, but I don’t think calling it a fallacy is correct as a fallacy means incorrect, while a conspiracy means it is unprovable/secret. Conspiracies can be false, but they can also be true with proper evidence and then it is called a scandal.
Having been downsized by a multinational as an IC at 55, my first advice is to maintain a network of colleagues and recruiters.

Keeping your head down doing the work leaves you unprepared if/when the axe comes.

I sent off resumes all over NA, but only got four interviews and two engagements. Networking got more than that and produced better quality engagements.
It's hard to find a public source to substantiate what I've been told about many US gov systems, so here:

I had one message me on linked in, escalate to email, and then escalate to texting within 3 minutes. I didn't know about the priors but the cold text is unacceptable.

Amazon can simply argue that all engineers receive Confidential Information about products/services that they did not work on, but were aware of due to company memos, access to internal documentation, etc.
> “My employees de-escalated the situation to get the plaintiff out of the building as quickly as possible while removing his access to the building, alerting me and sending out security reminders to ensure he could not access the building, which is exactly what they were supposed to do,”

So they have been able to confirm they have a working layer of security theater, on top of forcing employees to receive office birthday parties? That's weird. And then they dive behind seemingly irrelevant procedural cover like that when an employee is forced to walk out in embarrassment, due to a health condition? That's creepy.

He was awarded money for loss of wages and emotional distress. I don't think he lost seven figures of wages, and how much emotional distress did he suffer? At least personally, it would hard for me to say he suffered millions of dollars worth of emotional distress (which is something millions of people experience every day for free).
What state are you in? What Amazon can enforce will vary widely from state to state. Ask a lawyer. I had all my non-compete questions about a particular situation covered in one phone call of 45 billable minutes. This does not have to be expensive if you get a specialist in this area of the law.

Downtime is caused by your own failure to market/sell yourself, you can’t charge your customers for that.

Anyone who can get $500/hr freelancing already has a reputation they can leverage and shouldn’t have any trouble finding work. For everyone else charging the more typical $60 to $200/hr finding consistent projects with quality customers presents a challenge.

In freelancing reputation counts for a lot. A good agent can multiply that with their own reputation. A true agent does not have their own employees competing with freelancers they represent.
Easy money.
Where do you live? There are many, MANY different kinds of hearings in many different price ranges. I have a top of the line OPN 1 and it was 3,000$. There are cheaper versions for 2k. Many manufacturers produce models under 2k. I'd advise to have her check again, perhaps with a different audiologist.

Heck, if she gets an earmold, I can give her my old Oticon Chili. I bet there are other avenues to procure a cheap one.
I'm pretty sure you are spot on with Sodium:

I do eat a lot of sodium, but here is an interesting anecdote:

A friend's husband had Lyme Disease - and had very bad veritgo from it which was exacerbated by a high sodium intake (I assume the ear works on the sodium potassium pump in some manner?)

but she used to have to make a very careful diet for him so as to remove sodium as much as possible, which would prevent his vertigo.
I tend to listen to instrumental music. In part that's because I play an instrument, and in part it's likely due to hearing loss making words not that easy to understand. I also find I prefer vocals in foreign languages since there's no point in trying to understand them.

There's still plenty of good music out there.

I also find that my hearing aids aren't great for music due to how much they change timbre from boosting the high end, so I use regular ear buds instead.
> There are some unstated "if"s in that, so I would say until people actually receive units, it doesn't quite exist.

Kudos for being wary of marketing copy. I'd like to note that StarLabs has been shipping laptops of their own design for a few years now. They've been super transparent about manufacturing lead times and their order queue too. I don't own anything of theirs yet, but I've been keeping an eye on them long enough to say I appreciate their way of doing business.
I assume the website owner intends to want to show ads or track me for marketing or other data harvesting purchases if they try to do further verification than password + 2FA code.

> * Which dialect for querying worked the best for you?

If this is SQL dialects, I am partial to both the Postgres JSON/JSONB operators, SQLite has a solid JSON implementation too.

> * Which tools do you enjoy the most? This could be for any reason: convenience of install/availability, expressivity, raw speed, other niche features, etc.

"Datasette" (from Django co-creator) can take tabular data (SQLite, CSV, JSON, etc) and generate a REST/GraphQL API with visualization tools from it:

https://github.com/simonw/datasette

From the same author, "sqlite-utils" generate SQLite table definitions and rows from similar:

https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils

I find this useful outside of SQLite because the syntax is similar across SQL databases. Great way to bootstrap a DB definition from existing datasets.

"Pipe JSON (or CSV or TSV) directly into a new SQLite database file, automatically creating a table with the appropriate schema"

> * What sort of JSON "meta-formats" are the most important/common for you? E.g. in a file you could have object-per-line, object-of-arrays, array-of-objects, or in an SQL context you could have object-per-row or object-of-arrays-as-table, etc). I'd love to hear about others that are important to you.

For file, either JSONL/NDJSON (JSON object per line) if it's large, or a single array of objects if it's small.

In a SQL context, object-per-row undoubtedly

> * What do you feel is the biggest gap/missing feature in currently available tools?

Don't have anything useful on this one unfortunately, but I'm not an analytics/data science person =(
Really trying to avoid a personal attack here but you're really asking for one. I'm genuinely curious whether people like you actually think of themselves as a good person. Do you?

You've certainly "picked a team", and you've picked team billionaire over team humanity. While morally bankrupt, such a choice might at least make a weird sort of short-sighted sense if you are currently a multi-billionaire. Are you? Otherwise you've picked the wrong team.

Actually you've picked the wrong team even if you are a multi-billionaire. Would you rather be a stone-age emperor, or a space-age mere well-to-do? Making all of humanity better benefits the ultra-rich the most, since their boat is the biggest one floating on this ocean we all share. But I guess you often need that psychopathic mindset to get to the level of the top 400; they may be mentally incapable of helping others even when it benefits them. Help other people!? Who are not me!? Impossible.

Again: a semi-sensible short-sighted sort of local minimum if you're already a billionaire. But you're not, are you?
A pdf can be downloaded here: https://bryanhoffman.github.io/PHP-For-The-Web--Enough-to-be...

My Process and Tools: I started by writing in plain text with vim. I found [bookdown](https://bookdown.org/) and I had some prior experience with R so I decided to try it out. Using bookdown, it turned out I didn't have to use any R at all. I used [Rstudio's bookdown-demo repo](https://github.com/rstudio/bookdown-demo) to get started right away. I converted my txt into Rmd files in Rstudio and used the console to build html and pdf files of the book. The html files use a git-book format. LaTeX is necessary for the pdf generation, and can be used in the .Rmd files but I didn't need this ability for this text.
This is an anecdotal and slightly off topic response to your note on cannabis tolerance. I am a frequent cannabis user and have been for a long time. While I no longer use psychoactive cannabis regularly (not in a fully legal state anymore) but I do use CBD, which purports to be non-psychoactive and, by law, has THC delta-9 levels of below 0.3%.

What I find fascinating is that CBD absolutely has a psychoactive effect on me. I suspect that this is because of my prolific use of typical cannabis. The components of CBD must tickle the same pathways that are so accustomed to psychoactive cannabis.

The result is that I often get reasonably high from CBD hemp and CBD tinctures.

A high tolerance for cannabis seems to create a stronger response to CBD, at least in my case!

Lots of idealism about free speech and suchnot. THe public interest however depends utterly on how often the media is use, by whom, and for what. All that matters deeply, at least in how folks view the issue and how they emotionally react. The arguments follow from that.

So no its not ideal, and no, folks have not been free of hypocrisy in their responses, but few issues are completely black and white.
Where I work the developer on-call covers more than just their team's work so we make use of Playbooks (though we call them "Run books"). A scenario might be: "If service X throws an error of the type Y, then re-deploy service Z." When services X and Z belong to another team and members of my team have no reason to understand those services and errors that intimately, then having the Run books/playbook means I'm not waking up someone on another team at 3:33 AM.
Definitely some good use cases for this.
What would be the downside of banning all non-competes (no exceptions) at the Federal level?
I agree with the basic point of the article entirely.

However he shows the same kind of bias that he is speaking out again by not discussing the best known branch of such research. And that is MDMA for PTSD.

It is best known simply because it is, in fact, demonstrating that it works. The FDA has been repeatedly calling it a "breakthrough therapy" since 2017. It is in multiple phase 3 trials around the world that are going well, and full approval is expected this year. Research papers on it, like https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01336-3, are appearing in the top science journal in the world and are no less enthusiastic than a press release. Let me quote, "These data indicate that, compared with manualized therapy with inactive placebo, MDMA-assisted therapy is highly efficacious in individuals with severe PTSD, and treatment is safe and well-tolerated, even in those with comorbidities. We conclude that MDMA-assisted therapy represents a potential breakthrough treatment that merits expedited clinical evaluation."

So no matter how much questionable research there may be - and I'm sure it is a lot - let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater. There is also good research, and these drugs have the potential to make a huge difference.
Hey,thanks for your interest! As I explain in the blog post, this is not even remotely meant to "compete" or "replace" any HDLs. I think VHDL and other HDLs are pretty cool and really smart at what they do. This library is much less powerful than that.

What this aims to is make writing and learning about hardware more approachable to newcomers or self-learners. This is still in a high level language (Rust) so you have some familiarity, but you still have to consider how to connect pins and stuff, so you can start thinking about h/w that way. This is in a way choose-your-own-difficulty, so you can write everything from basic gates, or as I have done in the CPU demo, you can define pins, but write the processing logic in high-level constructs such as if-else, loops etc. This makes it easier to focus (for the CPU eg) on showing stuff like cache invalidating and wait states for memory access.

Another thing is that this can be compiled to wasm, so you can make circuits and provide nice GUI like I have done for all my demo examples at https://yjdoc2.github.io/pcb-rs-examples/ . This way you can have interactive examples right in your browser which you can play with.

Again, yes, HDLs can do all of this, but I think they are a bit scary to approach, especially if you're learning this yourself / are a newcomer ; and I hope that pcb-rs will be a rung in the ladder making it a bit easier to learn about hardware and low level systems.

Hope this clarifies it a bit! Thanks!

>Occasional interactions with @ElonMusk weren’t new to me or my team. One coworker used to direct-message him every few months asking for an interview—and to sneakily promote my colleague’s book. Sometimes Musk even responded, claiming “New Scientist is my favorite periodical.” Little did we know this flirtation would lead to a takeover offer, on Twitter, for our science magazine one spring day in 2019.

>After complaining about our publication’s paywall, Musk asked how much it would cost to just buy New Scientist outright. Ultimately, a deal didn’t happen—though the company was later sold to the Daily Mail Group for about 70 million pounds ($92 million). But Musk’s offer sent management scrambling over how to respond.
One sobering lesson from my time working in the life sciences is that everything is insanely complex and once you've isolated everything in your problem space into a small, relatively isolated set, you still end up with an insanely complex space.

Essentially it's fractally complex.
You have a valid point although I wouldn't frame it as adversarial as much as mutually beneficial. There will certainly be some bullshit eliminated from Rust, but I would not be surprised if there is a similar quantity eliminated from the kernel. Even in the most scrutinized C codebase in the world, there are likely memory usage bugs. If Rust can find and eliminate them, while also improving its capabilities, we all benefit.
