My life got substantially better when my “support system” died out.
Basically you're right, but I didn't have any trouble over it. The holes let the water out and allowed the metal to dry. This was drastically less of a problem than having the water sit in there. Even worse was the mud that accumulates in the bottom of the door would stay damp, pressing the moisture against the metal.

Holes not only let the water drip out, but help to dry out the metal.

I notice dramatic differences in rust on metal where it can dry out vs where it can't.

Tons. Way too many at times. I build a lot of tools to make it easy to consume and produce media/social media offline (these flows usually involve turning things into email or Usenet articles and then transmitting them on a private network) both because it lets me control how/when I consume media and also because it's just plain fun.

Other than that though, I have a system that helps my D&D group (which meets weekly and has for years) choose what to order for dinner. The system keeps track of a number of restaurants in our area (hand annotated) and chooses 5 restaurants from different food genres and excludes the genre of food that was picked the previous week. The restaurant choices are placed in a ranked choice poll which I monitor and close manually to choose dinner. The ranked choice poll has been helpful when a restaurant actually ends up closed so we just step down the list and pick the next in ranking.

Admittedly this is a technical solution to a mostly social problem, but my D&D group has some neurodivergent personalities that are really bad at coming to consensus. Also, the system pretty much runs itself at this point as the restaurants are kept in a sqlite database and the code is so simple that it never really changes.
I partially agree but there was clear intent in theory but in practice the action was deeply unethical.

Wouldn’t you go to jail if you taught someone how to plan a murder, with the knowledge they clearly planned on using that information?
How would a book form be more useful than reading your blog online?

Some blogs have different ways of accessing the material, by category, thread, etc. I find such affordances make the content easier to navigate than referring to tables of contents or index. If your blog doesn't have such features, then perhaps implementing those would be a better return on invested effort than curating the content into a book.

However, if your motivation is to be a published author then by all means go ahead and publish the book.

It sounds like you've enjoyed a career working for and with some really amazing people.

Yes the ideal state is having employers who can take attrition on the chin and root for their people on the way out the door, and yes those kinds of employers exist.

The opposite is also real, and acknowledging the former doesn't preclude the latter: I and judging from comments, others have also been in the kinds of shops that will cut someone loose for interviewing even for a second job when the first isn't providing the hours or income they need, and I and I presume others have also given whatever amount of quit-notice and then immediately been walked out the door even after expressing a willingness to stay aboard, finish up $project and help the team transition well once we leave+.

So I can respect the ideal state while acknowledging some people have completely rational trepidation about who they share this kind of status information with.

[+]even though I personally think quit-notice more often than not, but certainly not always-often is a disservice to the person quitting

I don't think I ever did. I usually have an opposite problem and sometimes accidentally zip/tar a repo when it shouldn't be included (at least there's `--exclude-vcs`).

In any case, this doesn't sound like a good idea at all, as git hooks exist.

This is called third degree price discrimination. It is a pervasive feature of economic life. Other degrees of price discrimination include second (harder to solve and more interesting!) and first (easy to solve but not so easy to implement in the real world). The author wanted a “supply and demand explanation” - that’s it.

Tetanus – Mythic C2 agent targeting Linux and Windows hosts written in Rust
It is neither a right or privilege given by a power higher than yourself. It is a decision by a group of powerful countries who influenced, bribed and threatened others to get everyone to partipate. It jails citizens who provide information on cryto trading.

It is no one's responsibility to feed anyone. People don't have a right to exist. People do whatever they can to survive around the world.

The countries that have decided to force these kids to die to further their geopolitcal goals are responsible for those decisions. Maybe they die for a better future for all or maybe they die because their lives don't matter to the countries preventing food from reaching them.

Throughout history many countries
As an example, if you are using Amazon's KMS for key management and you destroy a key it gives you 7 days to undo before permanently destroying the key. Or you can disable they key and destroy it later as your retention policy permits. Surely they have some kind of key backup, but KMS users have no access to those backups.

lol, yeah - Newsweek's claims about the Internet in the 90s had nothing to do with the short-term value... they'll likely be proven right in a thousand years! Take that, peanut-gallery - it was a fad after all.
> shouldn't countries be allowed to decide whom to trade with?

One have to distinguish country and its citizens. Sanctions is not just 'country decides whom to trade with' but 'country restrict freedom of its citizens to trade' and that is rather significant infringement of freedom and as such it has to be justified by its necessity.
Thanks narc, now our proper holiday to Malia Greece was put on indefinite hold. Vegas was only supposed to be the pre game warm up.
Okay let's use a specific example:

I decide that I don't want to trade with Country A because they are producing weapons that they plan on using to attack me with. Now let's say Country B is trading with Country A, and I think they are trading components being used to produce the weapons in Country A.

Is it a violation of Country B's autonomy for me to decide to not to trade with them because they are trading with country A?

If I believe that anyone who trades with Country A is supplying them resources to build weapons to attack me, and I decide to not trade with any Country who is trading with Country A, am I violating the autonomy for all of those countries?
Nixon is a really interesting man. Probably one of the smarter and certainly tragic modern presidents.

His alcoholism, depression and temperament really bested him.
I think it is well understood that with the way political hierarchies are structured, economic sanctions always impact the people with the least amount of power before anyone of the insulated power wielding people at the top lose any sleep.

I'm not even sure historically that economic sanctions have ever resulted in the proclaimed goals of the sanctions. How long have we had economic sanctions on NK? Has the result been our stated goals of the economic sanction?
One of the things I miss about phabricator was how much you could do via the CLI (clunky and weird as it was), nice to see something similar in Gitlab but I wish it wasn't so obscure.
This is why I love GCP Cloud Storage. The "colder" tiers are cheaper, and reads simply cost a lot more from there, but they don't slow them down and take days to restore. You pay with dollars, not time for restoring those GCS backups. e.g. Coldline [1] simply has reduced availability in exchange for being cheaper (99.9-99.95% availability, so 43min/mo, way less than "two days").

So do phones, but if you set everything to full manual that doesn't mean you're going to do any better. (Even autofocus can work a lot better than manual.)

Part of that developing is taking 10x the number of actual photos you want so you can delete the ones that're overexposed or too blurry. And you have to deal with all the data of keeping uncompressed RAWs around.
I don't understand your argument.

It seems based on some premise that North Korea is only bad because other nations are "mean" to it.

Many authoritarian regimes have historically used food availability as a weapon against their own populations. North Korea clearly is one such regime.

There is no private enterprise in North Korea-- I don't know what you think lifting of non-food covering sanctions would do other than further strengthening a rogue state that has no intentions of having anything other than a perpetual slave caste.
This is somewhat tangential but for a lot of quick programming questions, I'm finding I don't even need a search engine.

I had good luck reaching directly out to a recruiter working at a VC firm last time I was looking. I'm not sure how this would work without a direct introduction, but presumably one could reach out on linkedin/email. This was great from the perspective of outreach/filtering.
I'm super happy for Ngrok, I remember first hearing about it on HN forever ago and immediately loving what it allowed you to do. I've used it multiple times on and off since then and it's the first thing that comes to my mind in the problem space of "need to expose local service temporarily". It appears they are moving more into the Cloudflare Tunnels territory which is pretty dang cool.

I wish I had more of use for Ngrok because my current usage doesn't merit a $20/mo subscription. Recently I ended rolling my own poor-mans-ngrok using Cloudflare Tunnels (needed a static domain to test my Apple Pay implementation and some other domain-verified-only things) and they are really cool but ngrok is way easier to get started with and use.

It's explained in the Reason article he linked, but there's hardly anything in there suggesting the data to be fake.

My guess is there is a "feng shui" side to cleanliness, tripping over clothes or having a sink full of dishes is more likely to affect you if you are in contact with it more often.

But also i think there is a biological reason. Mothers notice dangers to young children more, as on an evolutionary time scale they were responsible for protecting a child from birth, when the child is most vulnerable.

Keeping things clean stops any nasty avoidable accidents.

with the provider in either choosing the wrong spouse; they should have been pickier.

Or being an unaware jack-ass. For the latter, it helps to list out the responsibilities, to make sure the division of labor is equitable.

Or marriage counseling.

> however, if you're being supported by someone who works 40, 50, whatever hours per week, suck it up and move the glass.

An ambitious worker—the topic I’m responding to—isn’t putting in a mere 40 hours a week. More like 60 to 80 hours if not more.

Those workers also face divorce for being inattentive, but they’re also playing catch-up for the house; car; private schools and the general lifestyle that comes so easily to compensate for the extra income.

There is no “sucking it up” unless you have a time machine or don’t need to sleep.

I could be wrong, but I don't think you'll find EM pumps in use for any liquid metals at temperatures above about 1000C. The 2400C temperatures required for this thermal battery concept present a significant materials engineering challenge for anything that touches the heat storage medium. There just aren't many mechanically sound, or electromagnetically capable solid phase engineering materials to work with at that temperature.

I'm not saying what they describe can't be done, only that getting the photovoltaic part to work isn't the biggest engineering challenge the concept faces.
I have made that exact King Arthur sandwich bread recipe and it doesn't do anything like "pour". Loaf pans are used for sandwich bread to get more lift and a more sandwich-friendly shape, but there is far more gluten development than any cake batter. You can use that same recipe to make rolls, for instance, and they bake up just fine.

The cake recipe has a 2:3 ratio of flour to sugar, while the bread recipe has a 14:1 ratio. It also has a 2:1 ratio of flour to fat, with the bread being 6:1. The cake also has a much higher hydration ratio, more milk, eggs, and a completely different mixing process.

Really not "essentially" the same thing at all.
>Ukraine has a right to join NATO if they want, without asking uncle Vladimir beforehand

by this standard, Cuba has the right to have Russian nukes pointed at Washington DC. But we all know that the US would wipe Cuba off the face of the earth and kill every civilian there before that happened.

They are still under sanctions 70 years later for playing that game and assuming they have territorial autonomy.
I don't disagree, this is not meant to be a challenge so much as coming it from another angle/context that I'm curious if others have had this experience:

Sometimes I have found that without broad long-term phase due-date, features keep getting added forever. The due date can be helpful with product owner type people to get them to actually prioritize, decide which features are actually essential. Without a due date "oh, every feature is necessary", but if you say "OK, we had a deadline and we don't have X, Y, and Z done -- do we need to postpone it?" "Oh, no, we can totally go live without Y and Z" -- and then once you go live, they learn more about what the users really need and it turns out you never need Y and Z -- that without a deadline they were insisting you couldn't possibly go live without.

It's the exact opposite, any coder who blindly believes that a piece of software is flawless is kidding themselves.

It's delusional to think software can be flawless in the real world when it's used by an untold amount of people, on all manner of devices, possibly running different OS's with different versions on networks that can be configured all sorts of ways. Thats not to mention all the dependencies involved in creating high level software, from the third party libraries to external services like cloud storage.

You anticipate there will be problems and make sure there are processes in place to manage them when they inevitably occur. Thats the exact opposite of laziness.
Followed, just in case! I probably won't pursue this idea (too many other things going on), so anyone who wants to run with this should try it.

Technology does not solve social or economic problems. How we use that technology is how you solve social or economic problems.

How are we using Bitcoin? As a ponzi scheme where the earliest of investors win by bringing more people in.

How are we using Blockchains (specifically NFTs)? Outright fraud.

Ponzi schemes and fraud won't solve our social or economic woes. What few good things Bitcoin and the blockchain ever provided has been completely overwhelmed by the crap.

As a result, governments are going to crack down on these technologies hard. They've already started by taxing these virtual currencies the same way they do stocks.
s/SF's/America's/g

I mean, this is what happens when you have a two-party system and one party is so rife with grift and corruption that the government becomes little more than a ponzi scheme to line the incumbents' pockets.

But you daren't oust those incumbents, because the other party is the same... plus Nazis.

> Overall, giving money to someone starting a business, well that sounds like you’re describing a loan.

There are many ways to obtain capital - loans being one. A loan is guaranteed, often having a need for collateral. I highly doubt anyone would loan Facebook money without collateral at the early stage.

Equity ownership is not a loan, and it is indeed a perpetual entitlement to all profits. It's pretty much the only form of "loan" for a new business.

You still have not made any arguments as to why ownership is wrong, other than merely asserting it.
I'm confident that http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/netbook-misc-devel/bitwords.... produces passwords with precisely the expected entropy, and it's secure under Kerckhoffs's principle, so I don't mind sharing it. For the ones that consist of words, the wordlist I use is http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/netbook-misc-devel/wordlist, the frequencies of the words that occur 5 times or more in the British National Corpus.

This representation is my favorite:

The 84-bit number 10231239242746186561668573 can be represented as: ...

In 12-bit words of 5 letters or less: hits towel bloke gala blah jimmy barry

Diceware is good too.

A word of warning: be careful playing around with stochastic text generation if you're susceptible to delusions and hallucinations. You'd have to be pretty far gone to think "hits towel bloke gala blah jimmy barry" was a message from God, but of course we all know people who have fallen into that kind of belief, and the strain on credulity gets smaller as the text model gets more sophisticated.

I would say what's wrong with it is it was a waste of money/time to be working on the replacement at all, it turns out they didn't need it and did fine without it until it wasn't needed anymore. So the problem isn't that they should have finished it sooner, it's that in fact they shouldn't have been working on it at all, but spent four years working on something useless.

so that's the problem... what the solution is and if it has anything to do with due dates, I don't know!
Yes!!! Exactly and precisely this. The actual individuals should be accountable for decisions they made that ruined other peoples lives for wrongful cause.

Too often political decisions have been predicated on the notion of cost-free bullying of lower status humans to serve as grist for the mills of polemical political opposition and discourse, to feed careers. The bullfighter needs a bull and ideally it should look scary before the predetermined outcome of slaying the scapegoat takes place.

While corporations and governments only punish the people with unilateral action of malice or ignorance, one can never truly punish an institution, one seeks individuals who are responsible in the hopes of reducing the willingness of individuals to commit such acts given the possibility of individual punishment.

Nothing says impunity like impunity.

Fining the institution does nothing to discourage career hit-and-ruin experts who keep climbing the career ladder upon the backs of others.

This is an extreme example/edge case and if that's truly the case you are either not participating in good faith or would likely benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy. You're approaching the topic of a healthy marriage from game theory where your spouse is another player/opponent, not from empathy and good-faith participation or even just as a team with a common goal.

Is your goal to "have it your way all the time", or is it to have a healthy and loving marriage with your spouse? If you approach it from the latter perspective, the question doesn't really make any sense.
