I was interested in the remarks about Windows perverted stackframes.

I once had some MS C code that called some 3rd-party library function. This was a long time ago, I don't remember all the details! But roughly, the code did a comparison, called this function, then made a jump conditional on the result of the comparison. But the condition wasn't being evaluated correctly.

It turned out that the library was built using a Borland compiler; my code was Microsoft C. The calling conventions differed; Borland expected the caller to save the flag register on the stack before calling, and restore it on returning; Microsoft expected the called function to do this. As a result, the flags that had been set before the function call were junk after it returned.

The way that Borland did it was the "convention" - as far as I'm aware, Microsoft stood alone on this. I formed the belief that Microsoft was doing things the way it did in order to deliberately make Microsoft C code incompatible with libraries built with 3rd-party compilers.

I mean... Wouldn't there be a bunch of my fingerprints on the phone itself?

And if my bag gets stolen along with the laptop and possibly the phone, wouldn't there be fingerprints on pencils, water bottle and the phone charger?

The problem is, with so little information to go on I do actually think spamming quite a few women is probably the best policy, even if it has costs for the platform. Until you speak to someone a little you have not idea, so best to at least see unless you are getting so much attention it’s a burden.

Every single one of his points are against strawmwn arguments. The involved botcoiners I know talk about fixed supply, programmable money being inherently volatile and carry the extreme added risk of self-custody. There’s nothing new here.
One option is to protect the master password with a security LARP scheme that's so complex and unwieldy that no sane attacker will believe you when you tell the truth. Like, Shamir's secret sharing, but the fourth part can only be passed via a Ballet choreography. Also, the sixth Yubikey is biometric and will only work with a latex fake of the right pinky prepared by this exact recipe. The final part of the password is the statistical expected value of this slightly unfair die, obtained after 10 000 throws, to the third digit.
What's being missed here is that courts have ruled that police (read: government) can compel people to provide biometrics to unlock their devices, but passwords can be forgotten.
I'm sure there's a ton of resources, but if you want to be entertained as well, this came up in a Last Week Tonight episode about Subway, this last May. It may have been a web special.

neato, would be interesting if someone would host a secure easy to access resource similar to this.
Where the finger print comes from isn't really the point. The point is that a random opportunistic thief that finds a phone and wants to go spelunking is most likely not dedicated, capable or willing to go through that and your data stays safe.
I'm curious about how performant is a cheap phone ($50-150) against a Raspberry Pi thanks to the economics of scale. And it even has a screen! ;)

I've tried to restrict the suggestions below to sources that I perceive as fairly unbiased.

While it's not exclusively focused on the economics side of things, one recommendation I would have is to read "The World: A Brief Introduction", by Richard Haass.

On the Financial side of things, the Financial Times is probably the best publication for what you're after.

On YouTube I'd recommend tldr news for current news and Caspian Report for geopolitics.
Bad... how?

From my perspective watching the various techniques used by a multitude of operating systems over many decades, the Windows-style process+thread model seems to be winning out over the UNIX fork() model.

For example, PostgreSQL seems to suffer greatly from the "forked process per connection" model, necessitating front-ends that do connection pooling. Database engine after database engine seems to go through this phase and then "upgrade" to either a single-process thread pool model, or start using async IO in some way. (Web servers also.)

For reference, Microsoft SQL Server back in the 1990s could on Windows NT 4 could handle more connections than PostgreSQL in 2020...

Double jaw surgery. I had it last year for sleep apnea. I am not overweight, but had recessed jaws. If you do too, the surgery is worth pursuing.
The problem with bank safes is that the moment you die, it's going to be frozen and will only be opened when you have probate. That's why it's not recommended to keep your will in a bank safe.
Compared to the post we're commenting on, Vitalik's article is substantive and well thought out.
Within /etc/pam.d there are multiple files for each system component:

authorization authorization_la chkpasswd login.term screensaver screensaver_la su
authorization_aks authorization_lacont cups other screensaver_aks smbd sudo
authorization_ctk checkpw login passwd screensaver_ctk sshd

So if you edit the sudo file it will only affect sudo. Likewise sshd will only affect sshd. Unless of course it contains an entry that includes another file which is common for Linux.

Now even if it causes problem for say sudo over ssh that page recommends that you add a "sufficient" entry. That means that method will be tried and if fails or its unavailable the next one will be tried.
What are the 5 hottest dbt Repositories one should star on GitHub 2022?
What are the 5 hottest dbt Repositories one should star on Github 2022?

dbt is a software framework that sits in the middle of the ELT process. It represents the transformative layer after loading data from an original source. Dbt combines SQL with software engineering principles.

Here are my top5!

- Lightdash (https://github.com/lightdash/lightdash): Lightdash converts dbt models and makes it possible to define and easily visualize additional metrics via a visual interface.

- ⏎ re_data (https://github.com/re-data/re-data): Re-Data is an abstraction layer that helps users monitor dbt projects and their underlying data. For example, you get alerts when a test failed or a data anomaly occurs in a dbt project.

- evidence (https://github.com/evidence-dev/evidence): Evidence is another tool for lightweight BI reporting. With Evidence, you can build simple reports in "medium style" using SQL queries and Markdown.

- Kuwala (https://github.com/kuwala-io/kuwala): With Kuwala, a BI analyst can intuitively build advanced data workflows using a drag-drop interface on top of the modern data stack without coding. Behind the Scenes, the dbt models are generated so that a more experienced engineer can customize the pipelines at any time.

- fal ai (https://github.com/fal-ai/fal): Fal helps to run Python scripts directly from the dbt project. For example, you can load dbt models directly into the Python context which helps to apply Data Science libraries like SKlearn and Prophet in the dbt models.
I would say that it's bad for writing, though. Ultimately, what he's doing exacerbates the absurdly lopsided distribution of visibility and rewards that writers experience.

Most books sell horribly, and not for reasons of low quality but because discoverability is a huge problem, even in today's world of recommendation algorithms and the like. There are a good number of "famous" writers who live in poverty, because the percentage of books that sell well enough to live on is so small.

Traditional publishers don't bother to invest much in a book unless they are sure it would sell without them (i.e., the author has 4,000,000 Instagram followers). The typical budget for marketing and publicity is about $300. The thing is, trad-pubs don't have to be better. They're inundated with unsolicited manuscripts ("slush") and even though very few of those are excellent, at least 5% are in a state where a competent editor could turn it into a book as good as any other commercial bestseller. They have all the power and, to them, authors are a fungible commodity. Oh, and if you think a literary agent is going to help you navigate this, well... unless you went to prep school with an agent, you won't even get _read_. You'll sit in a query pile, possibly get a glance by a 19-year-old unpaid intern, and get a form-letter rejection 18 months later.

You can self-publish, but less than 1% of the population has the savings and free time to do it right. It costs $10,000, minimum--you'll have to hire an editor, a cover designer, a formatter... and while you probably won't be able to afford a publicist you'll be competing against people who can--and non-writing efforts will take up at least a hundred hours of your time--some people find the marketing aspect fun and if that's you, great, but most writers don't, which is a big part of why so many of them pursue traditional publishing even though it's abusive if you're in the bottom 99%.

Allowing big-name authors to supercharge their apparent productivity by hiring teams of "co-authors" who do the actual writing exacerbates this problem. I don't see a good way to fix it, and what Patterson does probably shouldn't be outlawed, but it still sucks. The book world, in which name and "author brand" matter far more than literary quality, is already pretty moribund... and this kind of stuff doesn't help.
Not really. Linode's object storage presents an S3 interface. Hetzner is more low-level: it's got FTP, SMB, WebDAV and they say it can be used as a network volume.

EDIT: Hetzner's Cloud Volume, which is an actual mountable block device and backed by an SSD, is €48/mo for 1TB, still half as cheap as Linode.
> systematic biases
> outright discrimination against minority groups and women in payment

How do you know that demographic differences are significantly linked to wage differences and there aren't other factors at play? For example, a mother may want to spend time with her children and work part time instead of full time. Would you consider this discrimination? Do you think the mother should be paid a full time salary for working only part time? If the husband of the mother works full time and earns more because of it, would you consider this difference in compensation to be a product of privilege? I'd love to hear your thoughts
A similar situation can arise under duress. On the contrary to what people claim online, in dangerous places you want to cooperate with criminals, not get in between them and your stuff.

Under that type of stress it's very easy to forget passwords which might make criminals believe you're not cooperating. Having some things writen down (probably not all?) has come in handy for me personally.
That's what I did last month, moved everything over to Hetzner, paying the same price for twice the machine.
If you want to be sure that your data will remain available on IPFS it's not free either.
And the people who criticize crypto don't really understand why would you use crypto.

They have a stable government, a stable currency, a free Democratic system, they see no reason to use crypto because they have never lived in a sanctioned or very corrupt country with no freedom and Dependant on a financial system and a mother countries decisions without any influence over them.

These people are only about 15% of the world, you are lucky if you are born or living there.

I think this video explains it very well, from a north Korean citizens point of view, even though I don't agree that BTC is good for this, its similar to digital gold now, its vrry inefficient almost no one uses it IRL.

That's a fantastic name for it.
The point of this discussion as I understand it is that the limited supply of bitcoin does not help with inflation in practice and, further, that monetary supply is not the only source of inflation to begin with.

It is correct that bitcoin is designed with limited supply in mind, but that does not necesaarily stop inflation and definitely doesn't in practice because currency risk dominates the perceived value of bitcoin.

As far as i remember, people often claimed that bitcoin protects against inflation, that statement has so many requirements attached so it doesn't matter in practice.

To be fair, most crime/thrillers are formulaic and if you don't follow the standard structure it won't exactly be easy to get published. There's the basic structure, usually three acts and certain expectations the audience has (fake ending/final twist, speech praising the villain, visit to the villains lair etc).

A pretty good book that covers this is: "The Story Grid: What Good Editors Know" where the author goes through Silence of the Lambs. I think he also has a similar book for a romance novel. After reading that book (or similar books by other authors) you'll be pretty confident in forecasting what happens in most movies, you watch, too. Self-reflection at the midpoint for example. It's a pretty interesting exercise to scroll to the 33% mark in any given ebook and search for the typical act 1 -> act 2 transition etc.
That's not ideal! Could you please file a bug and provide steps to reproduce the issue? I'm happy to take a look.

I don't know about smartphones and Macbooks, but biometric access control systems in buildings and such usually measure at least the body temperature.
Intuitively laymen really care about purchasing power, not its cause, they just use inflation as a short synonym for reduction of purchasing power, because inflation is often the cause of reduction of purchasing power, but I think they aren't really synonyms.
Why does it need to be unique? Few large companies today were unique in their offereing when they launched.

AFAIK, Clancy only had one or two ghostwriters near the end of his life that have published subpar books when he was near-death (and posthumously). So it’s not quite the same as a “team of ghostwriters” while Patterson is in the prime of his writing career
For people complaining that this gets reset by macOS updates, I think this should work (I haven't tested this on macOS, but it works for me on Arch Linux):

1. Copy /etc/pam.d/sudo to /etc/pam.d/customsudo and add "auth sufficient pam_tid.so" to that file instead.

2. Create the directory /etc/sudoers.d/ if it does not exist

3. Create the file /etc/sudoers.d/customtouchid with the following content:

Defaults pam_service=customsudo

You may need to set the right permissions on /etc/sudoers.d/customtouchid before sudo will accept it.

It's also about prefetchability of the next task.

If all cores e.g. do an atomic add on a single counter variable to get their next task-id just in time, then there is no chance for the cores to do any reasonable prefetching. Because most of the time another core will come in and write to this variable that all prefetching is based on. With short tasks, you can end up with a full pipeline stall each time a new task is started.

It's actually quite simple and readily available with PAM duress [0] (at least on Linux, I'm not sure about PAM on Mac). It was also discussed here already [1]. Still, you should consider that doing so might not work in your favor, especially if the fact that you used a duress code becomes obvious.

Honestly I kinda already did. Connect 2000W pure sine inverter to terminals on 12v battery in trunk. Plug in extension cord.

It's not terribly sophisticated, but it keeps my pipes from freezing.

Refueling a car is as easy as it gets, though. To refuel anything else, you'd have to put it in a car and take it to the fueling station anyway. This way you just refuel the car the normal way. You can also store whatever gasoline you'd have used in a generator at home too, but the Prius' 10.9 gallon tank holds a lot more than your average portable generator and runs a good, long while.
This is scary because my PC is setup with awesomewm, and I highly doubt anyone in my family would even be able to open a browser :/
You're making a general hand wavy argument here, but this is a rather specific issue. "Constant time" in cryptography means that there is no information flow from secrets to timings. Keys are secret. Plaintexts are secret. Ciphertexts, and most importantly their size, is public.

You're basically saying that leaking public information is dangerous. This is the same as saying it should be private. In some specific cases you'd be right (I'm thinking of variable length audio encoding, where you could recover part of the conversations or voice prints from network analysis alone), and in these cases you mist hide sizes as well (basically use constant length audio encodings).

But in the general case, message sizes are much less important that you make it sound.

I don't know why it would, but you did also say it was just an idea. I have a hard time believing that an SWE union wouldn't be able to improve compensation and wlb

> So you have a lot of people here that seem to apply the labour market logic they're accustomed to, to a social relationship setup they ultimately see as a market -- which is a bad thing in my opinion.

Yeah I wholeheartedly agree with this because it's essentially the commodification of relationships, which makes me sick to my stomach

Niche and indie video gaming is exciting these days.

Just an example are strategy/survival/simulation mashups, like They are Billions, Factorio, Oxygen Not Included, Frostpunk.

There are quite a bunch of innovative hardcore puzzle games out there. Fresh approaches to single player RPGs. Beautiful and varied click and point adventures. The list goes on.

Whenever people complain about the dullness and cash grabbing of video gaming I feel like they miss a huge entire category of games that are made by people who care deeply about them.
As far as I understand, Ian Morris's books are not taken very seriously in the academic world. I've read the first part of /Why the West rules/ and must admit that it reads a bit like trying to push a narrative: spinning up facts the right way to make them support his ideas and asserting universal truths without much backing… but I think I'm biased by the reviews I checked before reading the (first part of the) book.
I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. The odds are that I don't know the answer.
Employees are responsible for themselves to a degree. Same goes for employers.

It is not the responsibility of employees to fix what an employer is doing wrong, unless they are paid for it. In other words, if an employee is mistreated or burnt out, it is the responsibility of the employer to fix it, and the only expectation from the employee should be the decision of either staying or leaving.
I believe it's the same with animal consciousness and intelligence.

It should be self evident.

Not that it mirror ours, but that they have something of a similar nature.

You have to remember that centuries ago, some humans assumed black people where, in fact, not human. Not having a soul. Not feeling pain as we do.

I remember the testimony of a person stating he once saw an African white master asking her black servant to check if electricity was on... by touching the wire. To her, they were not sensible enough to care.

Spitballing, but maybe the problem is that no doctors wants to be the guy in town who's the most generous with opioid prescriptions, as then he'll get swamped by people seeking opioids?

People who look at the statistics after that, finding our doctor prescribing a significant amount of all opioids in the community, are liable to think that he's some sort of unscrupulous stooge of a pharmaceutical company.

That'd cause a race to the bottom of pain medication skepticism. To fix that you'd need some sort of liability reform (as just changing guidelines will never work if it's opposed to a self-sustaining incentive gradient), though I'm not sure what that would actually entail.
That is the most C-like C++ I think I've ever seen.
Yeah, it's good enough for decrypting message headers then handing the rest of the decryption to the much more powerful main CPU. But having it handle the whole encryption? You're going to wait a while.
Last I paid attention, scholars seemed to agree that there's nothing resembling a single author for the Pentateuch. Wikipedia's coverage of this is terse at best, but near-nobody here is likely to read a "serious" account of this subject:

People bringing cases like Sri Lanka honestly never cared about it and issues people there have. It's just hypothetical usecase they use to their advantage. Solution to this is right there - its political, its development, its financial aid.

Just imagine how could Sri Lanka farmers run their bitcoin nodes and wallets and pay the fees for transactions... idea is frankly insane. The reasons people are "unbanked" is because when you have 0 money you don't need a bank huh.

I don't understand the point of avoiding running docker in a GNU/Linux chroot, given that it has no downside that you don't already have due to running containers and would vastly simply the setup.

Also, the kernel xtaguid patch looks probably wrong, since it's removing code that is probably there for a reason, and it looks like the correct fix might be to add some other condition.
