If you store all your tags (which update every time a block updates) in one location, then you’ll burn it out on a SSD, or thrash your disk with seeks on spinning rust (you’ll multiply your writes 2x, minimum). And unless you are adding some kind of virtualizing layer, you don’t have .4% of blocks to play with. You have 0% of blocks.

Could be because I’m on mobile.

We weren’t talking about CRC of plaintext anyway - we were talking about block encryption. So it would be CRC (as validation) of on-disk filesystem structures as part of parsing. Aka an actual attack.

Standard AES-GCM appends the tag to the encrypted message directly. None of those I name do it that way. Using AES-GCM as a transport is layering their stuff inside it, which of course is fine as I’m describing it - because they don’t have fixed size structures in their protocols! It doesn’t mean they aren’t doing the additional validation and authentication.

I had an opportunity to tour the Akron facility when I was an employee of Lockheed Martin in 2009. At the time, Lockheed was the owner after acquiring it from Goodyear. Visiting the hanger was one of the coolest work trips I have ever had the opportunity go on. It’s a large building, and pictures doesn’t do it justice. I wasn’t able to take any pictures for security reasons.

I had an opportunity to test an application I entirely wrote which controlled imaging equipment on PTDS (https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/news/features/history/p...). This was my first job out of college and it was amazing to see my code control behavior on such large machines. I coded my part according to design specs and had no idea if it would actually work. Fortunately, it did and was a nice development for my career.

The problem I see is that you are trying to peg a square in a round role and thinking that the square is at fault for not being flexible enough.

Anyone that has seen the py2 -> py3 debacle will tell you that "let's make python static" is not something that could happen unless you are willing to rewrite the entire ecosystem of libraries and applications, and quite possibly upsetting the majority of current users who were attracted to it in the first place precisely because it is so easy to get started with it.

You can not turn Python into a "fully static" language without changing it so much to the point of making into a different beast. And why should others make all this work to fit into your view of what is "best" when you can just use another language in the first place?
This bit of trivia is one of the reasons I love recommending FastMail.
No, you're not the only one. All of these gymnastics to justify the behavior of the string-declared-int baffle me.

Is it "legally" baffling, i.e., do I understand why this behaves in the way it does purely mechanically, and do I understand the arguments the gymnasts are making? Yes.

But from an idiomatic, colloquial, linguistic, syntactic, programming-historical, or programming-cultural standpoint? Baffled.

Even calling it gradual typing is baffling. It's just adding metadata-that-doesn't-look-like-metadata that sophisticated programs that aren't part of the Python bytecode compiler can use. The definition I know is the same one from Wikipedia:

> Gradual typing is a type system in which some variables and expressions may be given types and the correctness of the typing is checked at compile time [...]

This is definitely not what Python is doing.

When my kids were young, I set them up with two emails addresses: one for emailing friends, the other for emailing businesses. The assumption was this would protect their personal friend emails from spam. The reality was by the time they were older teens almost all the spam they received came in on their personal friend emails and almost none of it came on their commercial-use addresses.

My assessment was businesses were not stupid enough to sell email addresses (they knew they'd be reamed for it if word got out) but just enough of their friends' machines had sketchy browser plugins, malicious android apps, back-doored aimbot cheats, and etc harvesting contact addresses and sending the data back to spammers.

EGS is a technology related to fracking. It gets a boost from the maturity of fracking itself, but it is also expensive, kind of risky financially -- an expensive hole might need to be abandoned -- and depends on geological details of the site to determine its suitability.

The newer technology, what amounts to drilling by vaporizing rock with microwaves, enables drilling to much greater depths quickly and cheaply. Being new, it has not actually been used yet, but once mature should be less dependent on local geology, and not generate (sometimes reasonable) fears of causing damaging earthquakes, and should yield more power from a single borehole than EGS gets from two more costly holes.

But there seems to be no prospect of commercial deployment before 2028, and something could go wrong on the way, delaying or even deep-sixing it.

EGS, even where it works best, is more costly than solar and wind. Working independently of weather gives it a leg up, but money for it is less available than for those, for now, because we haven't enough of those yet.

I only watched this from the outside, but my impression was that it was an overreaction. Sun had a nice research operating system based on Java called SpringOS, but when clients heard about that they revolted. The transition from SunOS to Solaris had been traumatic and they threatened to jump ship if there would be any more changes ahead.

Sun's reaction was to adopt "only Sparc, only Solaris, only Java forever and ever" as their roadmap, publicly killing SpringOS, Tcl, Self (programming language) and so on. That did make the clients happy.
The UK realized computers were significant and developed a massive education programme with its own computer (the BBC Micro). By 1986, the BBC Micro's successor has an 8MHz ARM (yes that ARM) CPU. Who knows where we would have been if we'd had cheap fiber, rather than acoustic couplers.

Fortunately I went to college. So I got to play with http in 1993 at Cambridge.

Then myself, and every other nerd I know, fucked off to the USA. Not fiber, but at least we had internet at the office. I bought my first domain in '95 and put a stupid website on it.

>Back in 1990 the internet wasn't significant

Yeah, you're right. Best to wait until it is significant before paying any attention to it. Wouldn't want to go starting an online book store or search engine in the '90s. The fact is, the UK did know computers and networking were significant. But that evil psychopath Thatcher didn't care.

The constellation idea sounds even more effective than the "hover" idea of the GP. With a constellation you could achieve "coverage" over large parts of the earth and essentially attack any country at a moment's notice.

I think the person you're responding to means to ask

Typing in Python is generally a code smell.

Typing encourages a large number of bad coding practices. If you can apply typing to a Python program then you are not taking advantage of the dynamic nature of the language to write simpler and shorter code.

In Python world, unit tests cover what is normally handled by typing.

Those things are fucking huge -- you are comparing some junk ass Ali Express device to proposing actually integrating in the product. Could you find a cheaply and readily available mass produced motor/dynamo that would fit in this 9mm thick form factor and still produce enough power? And at the end of the day the only reason that a device like this is possible for them is they can basically build around easily sourceable, highly integrated parts - The only thing really custom on this is the shell/mechanicals - and that probably blew the majority of their design budget. Spending 10s of thousands for a custom micro dynamo for a dumb feature doesn't seem like well placed priorities. Also, you would have to integrate this without interfering or degrading the primary function of the crank.
The race to the bottom is depressing and shows no signs of changing. Hell, I was at an event more than a decade ago where one of the panels discussed monetization of games. They discussed how there's no cost to distribution which means that there's no floor to the price. And even back then they'd basically resigned themselves to the fact that freemium was the only way to compete.

Personally, I pay for lots of applications. I understand that people need to be compensated for their work and I don't want them to switch to shady tactics to get that money.

Seems like a significant change in governance was required for this change to happen.

For those unfamiliar (as I was) a ZEDE is a "special economic zone", along the lines of Shenzhen, Dubai, etc. If an area (city, town?) was classified as a ZEDE it gains the ability to disregard some laws (I can't find what/any limits there are), gains its own judiciary, etc.

I can understand the rationale for removing them, as it certainly sounds like something that would have questionable legality, however at the same time it sounds like the previous president has been extradited to the US? So who knows how much of this is politicking
It’s harder to read code than to write it
Any discussion of statistics-based reasoning should include the concept of systematic bias, and that's not mentioned in this article at all. An example of systematic bias is that of an accurate but miscalibrated thermometer, where the spread of measurements at fixed temperature is small, but all measurements are off by some large factor.

Now with D-K the proposed problem is statistical autocorrelation, not systematic bias, due to lack of independence, as here:

> "Subtracting y – x seems fine, until we realize that we’re supposed to interpret this difference as a function of the horizontal axis. But the horizontal axis plots test score x. So we are (implicitly) asked to compare y – x to x"

Regardless, it's fairly obvious that D-K enthusiasts are of the opinion that a small group of expert technocrats should be trusted with all the important decisions, as the bulk of humanity doesn't know what's good for it. This is a fairly paternalistic and condescending notion (rather on full display during the Covid pandemic as well). Backing up this opinion with 'scientific studies' is the name of the game, right?

It does vaguely remind me of the whole Bell Curve controversy of years past... in that case, systematic bias was more of an issue:

> "The last time I checked, both the Protestants and the Catholics in Northern Ireland were white. And yet the Catholics, with their legacy of discrimination, grade out about 15 points lower on I.Q. tests. There are many similar examples."

If locating the CDN node in the ISP network makes financial sense for the ISP (smaller lines to the internet backbone) or the CDN (lower egress charges / better latency), then one of those two businesses will seek out an arrangement.

What does throttling traffic or charging customers different amounts for different sites have to do with whether the CDN machine will lower network operating costs?

(Other than that the law makes it clear ISP's can't run a over congested line to the backbone in hopes of artifically forcing CDN deals.)

Here's an example of what one could do building off a platform like Column:

I previously worked at Center (https://getcenter.com), which after a few pivots, landed on offering expense management and analytics software to businesses. They partner with a vendor (not Column) to issue credit cards.

Center gets a realtime feed of card activity into their system to properly categorize the spend based on various signals or rules, which may, for example, prompt employee to attach a receipt. They focus on companies with decent T+E spend because they get the card interchange fees — that's the biz model: earn money from the card spend / merchant fees (as opposed to competitors such as Expensify that charge per user/card/report/etc).

And for the business using Center cards, they get nice software, instant visibility into spend, spending controls, et al, all at no cost to them. I don't mean to make this an ad for Center (I have zero financial stake in the company), just illustrating what you could do atop a platform like Column based on this specific example I worked closely on.

According to Column, their credit card service remits 100% of the interchange fee to the developer company, so you could build any number of services to enhance this data and service.

This is how all or most statically-typed languages work, too. The typing is purely a compile-time construct.

E.g. this kind of code: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

typically works fine (or worse, works fine in debug mode and causes unpredictable UB-related bugs in release mode).

std::mem::transmute here is a no-op at runtime; all it does is subvert the static type checker.

The difference between statically-typed languages and things like Python with type hints is _not_ that the former has any runtime type checking; it’s that subverting the (static!) type system is more difficult and requires more obvious ceremony, and that static type checking is required whereas with Python it’s optional.

If you hacked rustc to disable static typechecking you would get a similar experience to Python with type hints but without any mypy-like tools. (Of course, this would be hard to do in practice, because Rust, like most statically-typed languages, uses types not just for typechecking but also for code generation and method dispatch.)
