The more aerodynamic the car is the less splats there should be, as the bugs are more likely to be carried by the flow of air around the car, correct?

Still, there is no doubt that the insect population is in a massive decline.
> Do they hang out with each other

No. So that's why it's not a "movement" AFAICS, not unless I'm missing
something emerging in youth culture.

As a "weird kid" in the 80s I was delighted to find a Computer Club
and discover there were others. But this is something different. You
can't really rally around things you all don't do.

Thinking about it now though, I didn't see "geekiness" as an
_identity_ at the time. It's like that got imposed ex-post-facto in
the late 90s.

Seems a few are outdoors-sporty, things like long distance walking,
canoeing, mountain biking and stuff. Maybe a bit "health geeky". One
guy is really into astronomy and going up mountains to get better
telescope views. But this is pure anecdote. I don't really have an
archetype in mind. It's like "really into life, but minus the
techno-bullshit and control freakery". One person described it as
"slow living", but I haven't got a handle on that yet. There's
definitely an anti-corporate element too I'd say.

> spend a lot of time alone?

My guess is that they value their time and attention, and just don't
see constant connectivity and "convenience" as that much of a big
deal. They're also individualistic and confident, as in not embarrassed
to be without a phone, or be the one who does things differently, like
holding up a line for an extra 10 seconds by paying cash (and then
being the only one who tips the waitress).

I definitely see myself as part of that, whatever it is - but being a
50 something computer guy who spends WAY too much time at the
keyboard, it's slightly contradictory.

Come to think of it, a better angle is "last of the normies" in a
world gone mad. I think there's a way to celebrate being relatively
tech-free as a kind of traditional normality.
Awesome! Would love to hear more about the business model you're thinking of. Can't wait for Deno JS/TS!

Black Hole Sonifications with a Remix
TBH, while I'm worried about that, I'm far more concerned with the poor state of reverse logistics. The sheer amount of returned product that ends up in a landfill is shocking and, assuming direct-to-consumer online purchasing continues to thrive--and I think that's inevitable--we desperately need a solution that allows products to be rapidly inspected, recovered, and returned to supply chains in a way that's efficient and sustainable.
Then if the password manager is compromised, the second factor wouldn't add any protection over just a password.

Then again, people that use password managers at all usually have stronger passwords and less password reuse, so it can be an acceptable tradeoff.
Um fascists.

Because most of the really huge scientific Python libraries are written as wrappers over lower-level language code, I'd be curious to what extent speeding up Python by, say, 10% would speed up "normal" scientific Python code on average. 1%? 5%?

>2FA satisfies the "something you have" authentication type.

In the general sense perhaps. As it's commonly implemented, no not really.
Current versions of Chrome do not even have an Accessibility section. The referenced setting is nowhere to be found.
This does not solve the problem of losing or breaking the device containing the key.

And it significantly degrades the user experience by requiring you have both devices available when you create an account to have any kind of backup.
I can confirm that theory. I wrote my own HTML5 template for my blog when HTML5 was pretty fresh. I don't recall where I exactly got the boilerplate from. I thought it might have been html5boilerplate.com, but I just checked the v1.0 tag and that doesn't prevent zooming in. But I definitely took the tag from someone and just applied it without knowing what it does.
bank sites do this too.. but they log you out after like 10 minutes of inactivity. The other day I was thinking of installing a plugin for firefox that will refresh a tab periodically. Not sure if that'll help the issue but worth a try.
> No reason 2FA can't be just two passwords

That's not two factors, that's one factor (something you know) twice, even if it is different passwords.
Yes - that makes sense. I'm not using those monitor sizes.

Thanks for that perspective.
This reminded me of something else.

The German General Staff in the old days would have training exercises where the objectives could only be met by disobeying orders.

And the test with the magic dingus with the buttons and levers somehow reminded me of using most enterprise software.
You end up allowing first-party scripts from most sites that you frequent (except the ones that don't actually require it for basic functionality, but use it to implement anti-features), leaving third-party scripts disabled most places. After you've been browsing this way for a month or two and your ruleset is reasonably populated, the annoyances are almost entirely with clicking random links on HN and Reddit; often, I decide a poorly-accessible site probably wasn't worth my time anyways, but I'll reconsider if the comments indicate otherwise.
> you can see curvature effects on a calm sea at a distance of only a few miles

Open sea is rarely calm. But lakes are sometimes calm. I've sometimes thought it would be fun to set up some kind of permanent markers, something like giant clapper boards along a straight line at the same height above the water, so that people walking around a lake could easily observe the curvature of the Earth. Has this been done anywhere?
Apple's bioauth is very good and I trust both the fingerprint and face authentication. YMMV with other manufacturers and devices.

Maybe it's my 30s talking, but I can't help to be sad at the decline of Facebook the product: there simply was no better way to share photo albums with friends.

Instagram only allows you 10 pictures per album, has no good auto-tagging, and has no good way to download pictures from the app (which causes deep-fried screenshot hell). None of my friends are in Flickr or whatever picture site is common these days.

It's a pity that Facebook the company seems to have prioritised engagement so much over sanity.
Thank you for noticing these issues, I have updated the table.

I would be happy to improve it and add encoding. I am surprised by some of the summary entries on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB4). Looks like USB4 "reverted" to 128b/132b. It is accurate?

D-Notices aren't quite as obscure as the article makes out. I've known they existed for many years, I'm not quite sure why but there's no particular reason I'd know about them. I'm not a journalist and never was.

The Official Secrets Act is probably bad law, it's one of the many places where the USA has superior laws that are much better at keeping bad government in check. The various attempts to expand censorship in the UK are also very bad, in my view. The D-Notice system is difficult to really get worked up about because, as this exposé makes clear, it's:

a. Voluntary.

b. Sometimes ignored, even by major outlets like the Guardian.

c. Largely made up of journalists themselves.

d. So shadowy that they publish photos of themselves and upload meeting notes to government websites.

e. Apparently very tightly concerned with stuff like publishing the names of spies, soldiers, troop movements, etc. The classical sorts of information that has a very direct and obvious reason for being kept out of the press.

The article tries to build a case that it's being used in over-broad ways like with Assange, but honestly I don't buy it. The media doesn't need some shadowy committee to stop it covering the Assange story properly. At some point it became received wisdom in media circles to hate him and journalists need no incentive to bury stories if they find them inconvenient. The Guardian in particular has a long running and well documented vendetta against Assange. You'd see the same approach if D-Notices existed or not.

eye roll
What sort of specific case evidence could the tweeter provide that would satisfy you? Video with eye tracking?

I can assure you that it's easy to tell when this happens, even with my manly eyes. And yes, of course it happens to everyone, but it happens more to women than to men.

I'm serious, ask your friends and family and coworkers. It'll be eye opening for you.
Indeed it would. It certainly wouldn't be possible if they needed heat and pressure. See this part of the article:

> Our Fuel Forges are similar in many ways to hydrogen electrolyzers, in that they consist of many layers of cells, each consisting of a cathode, an anode, and a separator. In an H2 Electrolyzer, the anode is where electrons are stripped from water, producing oxygen, and the cathode is where electrons are added to protons, producing hydrogen gas. In our system, the anode works the same way, but our cathode, in addition to making H2, also makes liquid fuels. Both systems have capital costs dominated by the costs of the electrochemical stacks.

> This brings us to the issue of economies of scale. For high temperature / high pressure systems like Fischer Tropsch or e-methanol to gasoline (MTG), economies of scale mean large refinery installations that cost billions of dollars and years to build (and still don’t get to cost-competitive fuels). For modular, mobile systems like our Titan Fuel Forges, however, economies of scale mean mass manufacturing.
I been itching to work at Shopify for a little while now. This makes me even more excited for them! This should be interesting in how they are positioning themselves against the backdrop of Amazon and Walmart. Its strange to think that Shopify is almost the upstart against a giant like Walmart or Amazon in terms of capturing the retail end / customer experience side of things.

I suppose its a strategy to diverse their commerce portfolio.
That's the right answer, but it's not helpful for people who don't get to make the call on what language to use. Moreover, a lot of people don't think an application will have a performance problem until suddenly it does (either because of scale or shifting requirements or whatever). Even worse, a whole lot of people simplistically believe that you can just throw C/multiprocessing/numpy at any Python performance problem, which is how you make Python even slower and less maintainable.
Very important. Chris Morris though the leading figure IMO.
How do I actually do this? I want to keep using ssh. I don't have and don't want a cellphone. I use FreeBSD. I can't find a simple explanation in the docs.
I'd recommend you checkout Amazon's transparency service:

https://brandservices.amazon.com/transparency

It lets manufacturers print a unique secret code on their products, and Amazon validates it when it enters and leaves their fulfillment centers. As a user, you can also validate it yourself using the Transparency app you can download from Google Play or the AppStore.

That way you know you're not getting counterfeit.

I think it's relatively new, so not a lot of manufacturers use it yet. And I don't think you can filter on transparency enabled products in the search yet either.

Ah, remote zooming is being given in a different context.

I had thought it was about allowing other people to play with the gimbal and focus and that kind of “zoom” … of a remote camera variety. My bad.

Still, asking others to adjust is a nice thing. Demanding to do things on their end, not so much.

At a previous job the DB admin mandated that everyone had to write queries that would create a temporary table containing a copy of all the rows that needed to be deleted. This data would be inspected to make sure that it was truly the correct data. Then the data would be deleted from the actual table by doing a delete that joined against the copied table. If for some reason it needed to be restored, the data could be restored from the copy.

If the password manager stores the requesting site with the secret, either manually or through TOFU, then it has an opportunity to provide better phishing protection than manual copying.

This is how Android Password Store [1] works, and it regularly triggers a phishing warning (that I have to override with multiple taps) when I'm trying it out by attempting to autofill a password for one app with the password associated with a different app ID.

Granted, I also use it with my Yubikey, because that's what holds the GPG decryption key.

> Consumer drives are not necessarily sub-par quality-wise just because they're consumer drives.

According to the link I shared, they aren't lower quality, they're higher quality than enterprise drives.

But that's an interesting note about the drive firmware!
It would indeed be nice if you could "cross sign", CA style, a new yubikey with an old one, and that would somehow get passed along to the various services.

I have not thought about the various attack vectors that this may or may not enable though.
What compiled languages do you have in mind? I suppose technically there are repls for C or Rust or Java, but I wouldn't consider them ideal for interactive programming. Functional programming might do a bit better -- Scala and GHCi work fine interactively. Does Go have a repl?

FIDO is an authentication standard. It doesn't care where your secrets are, it just mandates a way to use them to log in to websites. You can still use a password manager, it will just basically contain a single encryption key for all sites.

> I remember my (boomer) father telling me that when he moved for work in the 70's that he found he was able to meet people in the area via a society (some kind of rambling and general activity group) that was really good for meeting others in their early 20s.

When I first moved to Chicago, I signed up for "sports" leagues via "Chicago Sport and Social" (it also includes card games and trivia games). They matched you up with a team in a league with your requested skill level (from "I suck but like going through the motions" to "I played in college and want to WIN WIN WIN"). Your team would be sponsored by a bar or restaurant near the playing fields and your team was supposed to go there after the game and get a free pitcher of beer or appetizer to share while you all socialized.

It was around 20 years ago and (checking the website) is still around now, with the same 20-something target market. I honestly can't imagine that there isn't a similar organization in every single big city that has a constant influx of fresh college grads.

But bizarrely they chose to execute and render it from code blocks, rather than syntax-highlight it like it's an example, and use some other syntax for rendering.

For example, Latex-style formulae are usually written (for markdown renderers that support it, not GitHub) $inline$ or in $$-delimited blocks. But if you want to explain how to do that then you write `$inline$` or

```latex
$$
\foobar
$$
```

And that formats it, it doesn't execute the 'latex' (or whatever) interpreter with the contents and render its output.

Like I said, you should do what you think is right for you but I'm cautioning other people that only eating every other day is a classic sign of an eating disorder. Again, you may well be fine and getting enough calories I'm not judging you at all. Classically things like skipping meals and fasting aren't determinative of disordered eating by themselves, no one would say that fasting for religious purposes is a disorder but this kind of behavior in the right context can very quickly tip in a bad direction.

I'm again not trying to say anything about YOU, only cautioning other folks here that the intermittent fasting trend among tech folks looks a lot like social trends among other populations that turned out to be very unhealthy and that people should be cautious.
