Throwaway for obvious reasons. But in my experience Salesforce security org is plagued with incompetent leaders who chase arbitrary metrics that does not improve security at all. At one point in time, security team at Salesforce was stellar and did some awesome work. Dont get me wrong, there are many many smart security engineers still around but their population has been dwindling. This all started when a bunch of new leaders were hired. Instead of promoting tenured smart people, the security leaders decided to bring in their own gang of coworkers from previous employers. At the same time they slowly started pushing out tenured leaders.

These new leaders are typical VPs who have long lost any technical chops and its a huge task to explain any complex technical topic to them. On top of that they don't bother understanding the fundamental business model and just want to push their agenda on to everyone. So they have added "security processes" which requires checking boxes. The more boxes you check the more metric it generates the better the leader looks. These security leaders are so disconnected from the ground reality that they don't even realize that all they are doing is adding hurdles in the path of engineers without improving any security.
Well I'd love to write C++ as my day job, but it is not easy to get into a C++ job here in the Netherlands.

There aren't a lot of native code positions, and those who are pay generally less than I get now or have an unclear offering.

Once you take a career path, like C# web development in my case, you generally keep doing that unless you are attracted by a company which really needs you or believes in you.

So my C++ experience is limited to side projects like Marlin based firmware and that's it.
damn, your description is spot on and reading this triggered PTSD in me...
Last time I had this feeling was two years ago when I destroyed one of our development servers because of a failed application update. I know exactly how I wished Ctrl + Z to exist in real life... We had backups of the machine, but it was still kind of a humiliating feeling to tell everybody and ask for restore from backup (everybody was cool though in the end)

Vimeo is the only infrastructure provider providing that service. It is impossible to insulate a business from it.
I don't trust Google or Apple to be my main authentication provider, or to manage syncing my private key. Their customer service is terrible and they are way too arbitrary on locking folks out.

I would trust my bank (well, my credit union.) I can go see them in person if I need to and they take my lawyer seriously, they also take security seriously, they're properly regulated, and ultimately they're my main concern if someone stole my credentials, so I'd like them to be on the hook for protecting my credentials.
Curious (since you mentioned grapheneOS) whether you have Play Services on your device? The results I expected assumed you would. Thanks.

I played on, probably, one of the worst soccer teams in the country. Weekly double digit losses. In soccer. Still had fun. I didn't go pro as it turns out. Somehow, I suspect I wouldn't have, even if I'd been on the best team in the country... Is soccer skill actually a realistic long-term concern for your kid? Most people don't become professional athletes.

I mean, it is literally a game, he shouldn't feel the need to "fully commit." That coach just seems like a jerk, to me. Look for a lower-stakes league, maybe? Plus if your kid has put in a couple years on this super intense team, he'd probably be a super-star in a normal one.
Yes, just looked it up — Amazing that things are still rolling. Gotta give it another shot.
As a very partial; almost unrelated question: Is there any python module that you use day-to-day that you'd like to have a significant speedup with?

I'm thinking of reimplementing some python modules in rust, as that seems like the kind of weird thing I'm in to. I've done it with some success (using the excellent work of the pyo3 project) professionally, but I'd be interested in doing more.
The gene mutations are going to be found eventually while searching for other things, so at best it’s delaying the inevitable.

By identifying the gene mutations it can make treatments much easier to find as you can often see which exomes are effected and thus which proteins may be missing. Could give rise to an effective peptide treatment similar to an insulin injection.
To get into the national airline pilot training program in France, there is something similar. You're then debriefed by a psychologist. In that case it's not just about not being an asshole, but also about being able to speak up when required, and so on.
Interesting, I wish they would bring that to Canada. I hate seeing my recycling bin full of one time use cardboard boxes.
There's a small chain of hardware stores in North America called Lee Valley (think specialty hardware and tools, not HomeDepot). The owner was so annoyed at all the boxes he offered to pay anyone $0.25 for any box they brought it. He even used not so subtle language like "Those boxes with a smile." It was during the pandemic so I suspect it was a little self serving (ex. their supply of boxes was hard to come by or their cost was greater than $0.25 for regular boxes), but the message came off as very genuine.

.. but biometrics can be lost too. I could lose my finger, I could have a facial injury. The algorithm could be changed and suddenly I can't log into anything anymore. Or I simply age and my faceId stops working some day.
I don't know but biometrics only sound smart initially but it seems very brittle if you think about it. Plus there are plenty of stories of people who were able to unlock somebody else's phone randomly. Just google "unlocked my friends phone via faceid".
This all seems like such theater for nothing. I think a simple "own this usb stick = it's proof that you are you" is a very nice 2 factor without any biometrics. Create a usb stick that needs to be unlocked via a passcode to work and voila.

No, everyone makes their own opinions. I always believed that fb was a good company, that’s why I went to work there.
The conclusions sound somewhat legit, however the proposed solution is just basic surveillance state. Require ID to access a web site.
There's a frequent misconception that hardware keys are no better than, say, a TOTP seed on a secure element of your phone.

The core practical difference between a hardware key and that TOTP code on a secure element is the hardware key, when registered with a domain, is programmed with the domain name in it. Lookalike domains - or anything besides the exact domain you registered the key with - fail to 2FA because they are unregistered. This essentially prevents (spear)phishing attacks from stealing login credentials.
That is not fb’s business model.
In the past most, especially school aged children and college age adults, needed to carefully craft your acquaintance group and police them through concerted effort, sometimes over years, to get a self-selected group who would challenge you so little. Now all the work is done for you using data you’ve been submitting for review literally the entire time you use the internet.

The real tragedy for me is how many kids and adults go online out of curiosity on a subject and end up on twitter, or facebook, or YouTube. The curiosity gets replaced with seeking those dopamine hits from endlessly scrolling.

Edit: dont forget youtube.

Imagine you have a history of buying into hysterics (or “enjoys controversial science”) and are curious about astronomy, or politics. Log on to youtube or facebook to find communities where people are discussing these topics and you’re directed to flat earth, and qanon, pol pot fans, among others.

These established groups are full of people who will tell you whatever you were on about is dead on, any time someone comes in and shares evidence to the contrary can be banned so you don't need to think about it anymore, dogpiled on so that their responses become less and less informative, accused of brigading. All this gives you a good out if you'd like to avoid being challenged and just straight pulling in those dopamine hits.

Again you can do this in real life but it takes work to keep and maintain an echo chamber in the real world. On social media you’re effectively automating away the problem.

Edit: don't forget about the tankies
I'm not a dad, so these are but grains of salt. What I meant was not that you have the power to force your children out of social media - they're gonna do what they want. More a lead-by-example life where you present an example to them of a life (a social one) that is enhanced by not reacting to what Alice and Bob think. They may see it as out-of-touch. They may change their minds years later. Or not.

So you can break yourself out of the loop. And maybe your kids will be inspired by it. Or maybe it skips a generation.

Like businesses that one and all took their 'loans' for payroll yet fired most employees and paid themselves.

My father lobes to bitch and moan about socialism and taxation==theft, safety nets are for the lazy (though he definitely used them when he needed them when I was young!), blah blah. Yet he was first in line for the PP 'loan' though he has no real employees but himself. Something about 'money left on the table' if he didn't.

Sometimes things are so bad people need help. When businesses fail they don't become homeless, destitute, and possibly dead.

Why do we do so much more to protect predatory evil companies than our own brothers/sisters.
Not sure if I’m allowed to post this, but I worked that exact technical problem in the Amazon catalog. It’s extremely difficult to keep high data integrity of the Amazon catalog when all these 3rd parties are contributing information. It gets abused in every possible way.

Basically third party sellers add info about Asins, which in real time gets merged with existing Asin information. It’s all automated

Actively filtering out sexists (, racists, etc.) from your hiring process is a practical necessity for any company. If your company will hire programmers who refuse to acknowledge that women can be technically skilled, imagine what the salespeople hired through this process are saying to female customers. It's only bad options, and one of the worst ones is "nothing".

>If you did, you would know that embodied energy of all you electronics in a couple 1000 megajoules.

A very quick Google will tell you that a laptop alone is 4500MJ, or about 4 tanks of petrol (although I'm not too sure about that source, as it claims that a refrigerator is even more than that).

Once again, I'll point out that I started out discussing the overall environmental impacts. CO2 emissions and energy usage are only part of that - how do you justify the mineral extraction techniques that are necessary for all of the nice shiny things we own?

Using your argument back at you, who benefits from claiming that it's ok to continue consuming as we are because the government isn't forcing us to behave better? They've got you right where they want you - a righteous eco warrior with all the gadgets.

Yes, the embodied energy of our gadgets and toys isn't everything (and is not the only "life choice" I make). However, it's significant, especially coupled with the other environmental harms. If it's so essential to save the planet that we must all switch to EVs (and for about a 50% reduction in CO2 output over the lifetime of the car), where's the argument that we need half the number of TVs?

Edit:

>a couple 1000 megajoules. Thats the same as two tanks of petrol

Yes, hydrocarbons are unreasonably energy-dense and cheap. I hope you're ready for them becoming very expensive/unavailable.
As everyone else has already pointed out, better testing would have been very useful here. For instance,

I didn't say anything about tiktok? I'm very confused by your comment.

It's full of strawman arguments around tiktok, which I am not talking about exclusively. And an ad hominem about my parenting.

There isn't really anything in this to counter what I said, which was that parents are vastly under-resourced and under-prepared compared to the companies putting these apps into the world.
>There comes a point where you need to look towards a legislative body rather than a court and that’s by design.

Except now with these rulings those laws will absolutely be challenged. Do you truly believe they'll be upheld by such a partisan court, with multiple judges picked for the explicit purpose of overturning Roe v. Wade?

I mean you've got Montana trying to pass a law prosecuting people for getting abortions in another state. You can't expect people who are dogmatic about abortion to accept compromises in any way, shape, or form. Clearly that's the case given half a century later they are fighting as hard as ever and are about to secure their first major victory.

> The central goal of this series is to explore the evolving relationship among faith, science and philosophy

Faith is the ultimate thought-terminating cliche. Its malware for the human brain.

The good parts of religion/spirituality are the rich cultural traditions which have been the birthplace for many philosophical ideas.

But the only way for those cultural traditions to continue evolving is to rid themselves of the malware of faith.

Not sure about the US, but for my, failed, start-up that went in a similar direction like Deliverr I did some price calculations. And for Europe it was, before Covid, very realistic to achieve price parity with FBA. I'd have too look the numbers up again, but the volumes were easily within reach for a single, not too big FBA merchant. Not enough to make a whole business based on that profitable, with all the overhead and such, but profitable on a transaction basis.
At my first development job (paid internship at a moderately-sized, though fast-growing business - maybe 300 people at the time?) I introduced a bug that didn't appear until a certain microservice stopped working (my code defaulted in the wrong direction when the ms failed) and as far as I can tell they may have lost or almost lost a pretty big account from it. In an after-hours meeting regarding the issue, one of the higher ups ended up storming out and never showing up again.

In my defence, we had to get 2 PR approvals before anything was merged! But I definitely learned a thing or two from that experience

I got excited because I thought this was talking about linux systems engineers and how that is a almost non-existent career path these days.

I would call people who write c/c++ code 'programmers' - interesting to see that title is not universal.

If you are wondering where all the c/c++ programmers (system engineers) are - they are in the defense industry - or at least all the ones that I know are.
Reading through the GitHub issue, it seems like the one place it makes sense in my eyes is that you can refer to stuff in external libraries with your convention even if the library uses a different one. I'm not sure if there's something I'm not thinking of, but to me it'd make sense if the library boundary was the only place it let you do it.
You bring up interesting examples. The only one I know anything about is shape note singing. I guess your point is that shape note singing can be taught much more easily to beginners, and get them to a point of being able to enjoy making music (usually with others) more quickly?

If so, point taken!

And I guess that those shape note singers who feel the pull to perform/compose more complex music can then simply learn traditional notation. Self-selection, with a satisfying "intro" notation for those who are happy at that level.

Following that path, I'm still not sure that the original article here provides anything useful. It's simply an alternative to traditional notation. It doesn't seem easier to learn to me. I could be wrong, but I doubt that I'm an order of magnitude wrong. In fact, if this new notation were proposed as an alternative to shape note singers, it would seem to undo the very reason for shape note singing in the first place: easy entry point to music making.
I was merely pointing out GP's gross oversimplification of the current consensus in climate research. I said nothing about its content.
After having read about plenty of such cases over the years, I have a persistent dread of pulling something like that myself, to the point of being nervous with ‘*’ in the terminal, and generally checking everything twice. (And also have some kind of mild horror-high from corporate snafu stories, weirdly reminiscent of Ballard's ‘Crash’).

So: I never feed the data straight from the gathering script into the modifying script, at least not in the first runs. Instead, I dump the whole list of items into a file, count them in there, gawk at them to see that they're right, and compare with the source data by hand until I begin to annoy myself. Then I feed that file to the second script.
I think the future of Shopify would be aggregating selected best sellers themselves and trying to beat Amazon on a category per category basis from a single or multiple sites.
To enforce restrictions is indeed very hard. I know because I do it, using a whitelisting proxy. It's possible (even uncircumventably for mobile devices, using a managed device and an always-on wireguard vpn) but it is far from trivial to do and I am in a vanishingly tiny minority in doing it.

To enforce literacy is of course easy. Talk to them, teach them.

To enforce that a child actually follows your advice not to watch thing X when they have the physical ability to watch thing X, including when you aren't looking? Basically impossible. Kids aren't computers. They don't necessarily do what you tell them to do.

I mean, I have massive difficulty getting myself not to waste my life on the internet, this very comment being evidence of the fact.

I’m impressed by their commitment to automation. If that was me, once I realized that manually uploading from Gdrive to Vimeo would fix the problem, I probably would have just committed myself to manually doing that all weekend. It would feel safer and serve as a sort of penance for screwing up the automation the first time.

But nope, they went right back to scripting and got it done.
