First: we need to finally stop the harmful myth that floating point multiplication is slower than addition. This has not been true for a long while.

Second: why are so many people insisting that the loop is auto-vectorised? Is there any evidence to that? Data dependencies alone explain the observed performance delta. Auto-vectorization would have resulted in a higher speedup.
I like it, especially when it's incorporated rather than just prefixed (eg. ark, kalzium, kamera, konsole, yakuake) for a couple of reasons.

First it gives a unique name that you can search the web for. Looking for a solution involving an application called 'trip'? Well good luck with that.

Second it provides some brand grouping. I haven't ever piped apt-cache search through a grep for 'k', but the name can give me a quick hint if it's a KDE-native application.

Third, it's a combination of lazy and rude to call your app a common Word, especially when someone in one of your Teams at the Office is trying to Access the web to find information about it. Some companies are especially awful about squatting on these common words -- everyone else then has to qualify their terms forever. Of course it's intentional hijacking of the vernacular, which makes it more annoying.

Smart contracts that cost money to run on a virtual machine with less power than a Raspberry Pi. In order to access a DApp someone needs to buy into some cryptocurrency, providing some early holder the ability to cash out. The DApp user also has to trust that the smart contract doesn't have a stupid bug that will drain their wallet. Oh and thanks to the low transaction rate of a blockchain that DApp might never execute or have a flash crash type spike in cost.

It's a bunch of rent seeking bullshit on top of what could just be a web API. Storage on a blockchain is stupid expensive so there's oracles everywhere pointing to off-chain resources with zero guarantee of availability.

Blockchains aren't adding any value. They're only extracting rent and adding friction.
How is this person teaching anybody if they can't even properly write, format, and cut out all the bull**t from their own article? This reads like a first-grader's story at best. I have zero credibility that this even happened. And the fucking gifs throughout the article... give me a break.
Does this also work for the WebAuthn / U2F / TOTP use cases, or just the PGP/PIV/SSH ones?
Fascinating. And given that GoL is Turing complete, it should be theoretically possible to implement a Turing machine in the cellular automaton that could then run a copy of the Forth interpreter running the APL program running the CA.
I run home assistant on kubernetetes, but I've been annoyed by things breaking often on updates and reliability issues when running ZHA with a combo USB dongle.
This sounds like it would absolutely ruin the internet as a resource for how-to videos. When anyone can use massive amounts of data scraping and underpaid labor to make extremely low quality videos and spam youtube with them, actually half decent how-to videos will get completely lost. Not to mention, you can just put something completely wrong on without making it immediately obvious.

Imagine Roel Van de Paar[1] except anyone can easily do it and the quality isn't so bad that it gets lost in the algorithm.

>Its like how health is correlated with height.

It’s a popular myth propagated by American public. Funnily enough, in many European and Asian countries the opposite is deemed to be true.
The truth is that there has never been any conclusive evidence one way or the other.

“The first evaluation of the impact of human size on longevity or life span in 1978, which was based on data for decreased groups of athletes and famous people in the USA, suggested that shorter, lighter men live longer than their taller, heavier counterparts. In 1990, a study of 1679 decreased men and women from the general American population supported these findings.
In the present study data on the height, weight, and age at death of 373 men were obtained from records at the Veterans Administration Medical Center, San Diego, CA, USA. Men of height 175.3 cm or less lived an average of 4.95 years longer than those of height over 175.3 cm, while men of height 170.2 cm or less lived 7.46 years longer than those of at least 182.9 cm. An analysis by weight difference revealed a 7.72-year greater longevity for men of weight 63.6 kg or less compared with those of 90.9 kg or more. This corroborates earlier evidence and contradicts the popular notion that taller people are healthier.” [0]

I am slowly coming to terms with Dolphin, some decades on -- took me a long time to move past Konqueror (also not very intuitive in terms of name->functionality I guess).

I'd suggest that the disconnect between name and function might not be a KDE peculiarity, given the GNOME equivalents of those two applications are / were Nautilus & Evince.

OTOH I don't think discoverability for products in GNU/Linux distros commonly comes down to trying to intuit semantics of the product's name.

Yeah, so no true non-commercial content creator would use evil crypto. By the snark, I can tell you are as invested in hating crypto as some of us are invested in building it. What is your motivation?
Fyi, most bike insurances in germany will require you to have your bike locked up against a solid (i.e., non-movable) object with some even putting requirements on locks (shackle diameter, ...). I don't know how much those rules are enforced though I imagine for some claims they may be challenged.
Oh but it’s not a fine idea. It’s expanding the scope of our problems. I have ADHD … how to videos are fucking poison.

I first noticed it with minecraft redstone machine explanations and tutorials. They started out as nice elaborate step by step guides with pictures… then they became videos full of calls to action from Patreon and twitch.tv and discord and their various minecraft servers…

Now I see it fucking everywhere and I’m sick of it. I want you to walk me through a process so I can follow it at my own speed. I don’t want your artificially slowed down video recipe with 6 minutes of filler life story shit to help you get that second YouTube advert or your sped up and fast cut edited tick-tock reposted to YouTube with on screeen clickable call to action pop ups kindly enabled by YouTube in their latest “crack cocaine for users attention” update and most fucking important of all… I do not want someone making it easier to produce this sort of shit for technical content that is hard enough to understand as it is from probably already average-to-poor quality documentation without getting a shitty AI powered video recap!

I hate having to say this but as much as I feel like an old fart on the lawn yelling at children to get off it… something something eternal September something something… it legitimately needs saying. Video is not universally the best way to share information and the fact that YouTube, et. al. will host your video content for free so you don’t have to try and work out how to make a web page, so you can focus on building your brand or whatever motivates the content in the first place … does not make it appropriate that we are sliding gradually into an idiocracy style world where nothing ever gets ducking written down properly.

And it just you know… makes my life harder and it’s very hard to be sympathetic to people making my life harder as their business model.

Edit: In case anyone thinks I’m being hyperbolic. I have bought at least dozen physical items in the last year where the only written instructions were legally mandatory safety info and how to plug it in. Everything else was QR code to their YouTube clip or companies YouTube channel…

I suppose that's personal taste, which is absolutely fine. Personally, I feel that the design isn't particularly appealing either, but that's, like, my own opinion.

If anything, it's not brutalist design: https://brutalistwebsites.com/

It's just that one can choose to see the design as distinct from the content.
Thinking carefully about loss scenarios is really important, so you're thinking about the right things. I used to have my SSH key on a Yubikey for awhile and now I have it in my MacBook's secure enclave guarded by TouchID. In both of these cases I'm not terribly worried about loss because it's almost always the case that loss of SSH access is pretty easy to recover from. In most cases other people on my team also have SSH access and can swap out my key if I lose the Yubikey. In a number of other cases the cloud server doesn't have any/much in the way of irretrievable data. It's just running various software that is usually version controlled with git. So even if no other team member had access it would be pretty easy to spin up another machine to replace the one that I can't log in to, change the domain name to point to the new machine, and terminate the old one.
I can second that Miguel's tutorial is quite nice and sufficient to build Flask apps.

Thanks to Miguel (and also official Flask docs) I have some Flask Apps running non stop for a few years by now.

Flask is extremely easy to write in regards that the mental model is easy to follow.
Sure there is magic there but the abstractions seem "non-leaky". By contrast I can't get into Django because it seems too much magic.

The worst part of using Python for back end was deployment.
Setting up WSGI server to host Python apps was a bit of a pain.

I think I went with Gunicorn but there was a bit of learning curve there. I am not even sure if that was the right choice
This is really a matter of preference. I do not use Flask-Admin on my projects, I have always preferred to design my own admin pages than being forced to accept the choices that are imposed by these big extensions. This allows me to have a consistent UI across admin and non-admin pages.

One thing that people often complain is that it is hard and/or tedious to build tables with data, which is one of the building blocks most admin pages need. Last year I wrote a blog article where I show how I build tables in my Flask apps: https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/beautiful-interactive-t....
I am pretty sure that if some fan went and made Adam Savage fan shirts, doing the screen printing and design all themselves, he'd be absolutely chuffed to receive one in the mail.

There's a difference between fans making and selling stuff because they are fans, and large corporations mass producing and selling stuff. One is largely OK in my opinion, the other not so much. This AT-AT model is an expression of love for the franchise first and foremost.
From what I recall that was one of the justifications behind Automobile Dealer Franchise Act of 1956. I remember reading about it a while back, but I cannot find the exact reference now; just articles about the law in general.
Automated mechanisms only really make sense for counteracting automated abuses (e.g. vote farms). Human moderation is still necessary for human abuses (e.g. harassment).
Some more vocabulary for thinking about this is “analysis” and “synthesis”. Analysis is about breaking up a problem into isolated parts. Synthesis is reassembling the solved parts.

The reason people are willing to give away their house/car/jet in exchange for crumpled is the existence of the market protected by that "economic, military and even cultural might".

Trust here is not in that the some big guns are protecting your cash, it is rather about you trusting that the next day/month/decade people will want that cash about the same as today.
Any search engine which is on the drip of <insert big one> will ultimately fail. Search engines are not philanthropic. Bing used to behave in good manner as they couldn't attract enough paying customers so their strategy was to impair Google by attracting traffic to Bing wherever and by whatever means, even if it meant a loss for Microsoft.

Now as Google search is the entry page to Amazon, Bing sees some increase in serious traffic and MS is getting more serious about their business strategy.

Thanks for explanation. The point is that I do not really intend to learn Haskell (I don't have the motivation for), I've been just (very) curious to understand what's about these concept called monad:
- Why does should exist? Why can't they be simply replaced with control structures (if, case, switch etc.) ?
- Why there is so much fuss on the web, in the FP world, about monads?

To address that an entirely different economic system will have to be created.

Great! When do we start?
No, it's not a "clone". It's fatally (unusably) slow, apparently doesn't work on mobile, and you have to sign up to see more than one page of it.

Nocode is a myth.
A lot of apps that I use support midi input. The Launchpad has a webapp that lets you configure the outputs of each pad to send different types of MIDI outputs.

The only hitch is that the Launchpad doesn't send NoteOff messages, it sends NoteOn twice with the second time being volume 0.

For apps that don't support MIDI input, there's a tool called Midikey2key which lets you map MIDI messages to keyboard inputs/shortcuts.

Yeah good point -- and AFAIK, cricket is the only sport in which Hawk-Eye is used predictively, i.e., attempts to show what could have happened if the batter hadn't obstructed the path of the ball.

Every other sport that uses Hawk-Eye only uses it to show what already happened.
I would say that what makes any currency valuable is the market using that currency; the necessity of paying taxes is both a jump-start and a stabilizer of that market preventing fragmentation of the currency.
Endless Uncertainty
I switched to Kagi[0] when DDG announced their implementation of selective censorship[1]. The results are much better, and I use the !g bang way less often (for DDG I was basically always using it, making the bangs the only actually useful feature of DDG for me).

[1] https://twitter.com/yegg/status/1501716484761997318 — I think it's sad that I have to clarify that I am personally also sickened by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but that I don't want DDG to be an arbiter of truth despite that
> It kind of goes without saying that losing the key results in you getting locked out - if there was any other way there wouldn't really be much of a point to the complication of making yourself dependent on a stick.

> As a backup, you either have some kind of spare keys in safe storage or reliable access to someone who can restore your access after having identified you.

I have two Yubikeys, but I don't consider the second one as "spare" that has to be locked away. I carry one USB-C/NFC key on my key chain. The other is a USB-A Yubikey nano, which is always at home in my desktop's monitor USB port so I can reach it very easily. By using both regularly, I'm more likely notice if one key gets broken or lost.

> * in some case you could generate the key beforehand on a computer, and then load it on a stick (unsure about yubikeys though). You should still revoke your key anyway once your stick is lost - as you should assume it could be found and used, sometimes needing only a touch operation rather than a PIN.

You can do that with yubikeys. You can copy the same secrets to a different key or store them somewhere safe. I considered doing this, but in the end all services that I use allowed to add two keys which seems like the better option. My reasoning was that if I have two identical keys A/B and I loose key A, I would have to immediately invalidate key B too - but before I can do that I would need to:

1. get a replacement key C
2. setup new secrets for key C and store them
3. then log into every service to add the key C and remove key A/B
4. reset key B to use the same secrets as key B

Up until point 3 (which my take a while until I get key C, unless I would always have a third key lying around) all accounts are vulnerable. On the other hand if I have two separate keys with different secrets, I can just remove the lost key from all services and deal with the replacement key later.
There are tons of low-effort text-to-speech how-to videos on YouTube already, so I think that's a battle already being lost.
> older debian stable

A bit pedantic, but what's currently "Debian stable", Debian 11, has OpenSSH 8.4. The previous release, Debian 10, has OpenSSH 7.9, but it is no longer called stable (instead, it's sometimes called "oldstable").
That was also my experience. I find flask to fill a small gap between SimpleHTTPServer and Django.
Vouching systems are generally very solid if you also have some way to expell parts of your network after the fact. You need some way to slow down and curate your network or all the benefits are lost.

The benefit of these: it mimics in person interactions and describes a simple process.

But The trade off is that they only work if they grow slowly and organically, which seems to be contrary to what the crypto space is trying to do.
Adminer’s “search” function is very useful. I only wish the search function would work properly on PostgreSQL, too.
Can somebody confirm my understanding? They're able to grow plant cells in a mold (e.g. a chair) then after the cells mature, remove the mold and have a solid piece of material that is basically wood?
It should be said that, if I understand it correctly, these worries are about the DDG browser, not their search, which is what most people (myself included) associate with them and care about.
I had to stop using duckduckgo it use to have quality search results compared to google, now it doesn't.

Even bing is better than duckduckgo's results
Aren't those just faraday cages?
Only if it needs to cross the cage, you can have a base station inside the cage and another outside just fine.
How do you access the different language versions?
Yeah gpg is a big hurdle. My suggestion is to learn about subkeys. Create subkeys for everything you want to do.

That way you have one main key that can revoke subkeys, subkeys do everything like access to files, emails, passwords.
Regarding waves and interference, have a look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TshYfYIxR9E. It shows how the interference patterns actually look. Yes, the wave is 3D and the interference patterns can be kind of like checker board. We are usually considering a 2D example because it is simpler to visualize and analize.

> how do we know that entanglement is the result of 'spooky action at a distance' and not the result of creating two entangled particles?

A very high-level explanation is that we know this because quantum computers work (even though right now we can't build them big enough to be useful) and it can't be explained by any classical effects.
The eye of an octopus shows intelligent design; the eye of a human, not so much.

You cannot prove things in the real world by running a computer program. Traditional financial systems have trust, belief, demand all factored in. They are constantly prodded and tweaked by powerful entities, with cultural, legal and military might to keep things running. However it turns out these are all features, and in the speed run to invent finance 2.0, deluded tech bros forgot that reality exists, or they were complicit in implementing a pyramid scheme.
So are there any good resources on how I should decide whether to use an SPA or an MPA for specific use-cases? I know both has their own strengths and weaknesses but it feel like a lot of sentiments here are too polarizing.
That seems like a perfectly reasonable concern, though.

Now you might argue that power production is going to unavoidably kill something, and we have to make a choice about what's the lesser evil -- do we poison everything with coal, overheat fish with nuclear power plant cooling, smash birds with wind turbines, or set them on fire with a solar heliostat?

We might well decide that it comes out in favor of nuclear there, but if we're minimizing harm then harm has to be measured, accounted for, and limited, and therefore regulating this particular thing makes perfect sense.
The purpose of the fine is not to make the business unprofitable, it is to make that particular endeavour unprofitable. If profit from violating law - fine for violating law > 0 then then any business not run by ethics will continue to violate the law because not doing so is less profitable. This does not change if the business is throwing out money elsewhere.
After reading your comment history and searching it, it seems to me that you never learned to use Flask. Jumping into new project and learning a framework at the same time means that you may have to restructure everything after you have learned it.

That's my impression at least.
> Musk’s other companies have benefited from corporate welfare schemes too. In 2015, the LA Times reckoned Musk’s companies had benefited from almost $5bn in government support. That includes SpaceX, which just landed a $2.89bn contract with Nasa and a $653m air force contract, both in 2021...

I think we should judge recipients of government subsidies by whether they leverage them into genuine technological advances, or simply treat them as a teat to suck upon. Judged by that standard, SpaceX has done much better than its "OldSpace" competitors such as Boeing or ULA, who have received significantly greater subsidies yet achieved a lot less with them. But proponents of the "SpaceX government subsidies" narrative – present article included – rarely seem to consider the issue from that angle.

And Musk is hardly the only CEO saying "we view the coming recession as more of a business opportunity than a threat, even as economically beneficial in the long-term". That way of viewing recessions – assuming a business is in overall good health – is commonly taught at business schools. But Musk is a controversial celebrity, so when he says it – instant controversy-brewing clickbait – when some other CEO of whom few have heard says the same thing, I doubt The Guardian would cover it.
