Eating junk food isn't

Breathing is a requirement for life and smoking is a category of breathing in the same way that eating soda and candy bars is a category of eating.

I'm not arguing that in good faith. I'm pointing out that your argument doesn't hold up either.
I've used Cadence OrCAD PSpice for mixed A/D simulations and not only feel really dated, it's relatively slow and it's also pretty buggy (a lot of mid simulation messages like "The program need failed and need to be closed"; Some project corruption that makes you create another one and add the files manually; Some analogue circuits that never converge, like oscillators that doesn't oscillate, but in other software and in a real circuit does).

LTSpice looks dated, but at least the developer takes the simulation speed and the convergence to solve the circuits as a really important matter (specially compared to OrCAD PSpice): It can use multiple cores, it has 64-bit compiled binaries, and the developer uses a lot of tricks to get the maximum performance on every machine it runs.

Without knowing how is Cadence Virtuoso and other more specific products, I don't imagine myself paying what this software does and having those problems. They aren't bad or they aren't improving, for sure, but I feel those companies are so specific that they simply don't care.
Book series targeted at young readers benefit from this composition. My 8yo son follows a few series and he laughs about it when "the formula" reveals itself, but still enjoys the stories. You have to remember a novel – even a short one like a Goosebumps book – is a lot to keep in context as you're starting out reading. The predictable ebbs and flows of a series book help readers focus on the language and the things that are unique about each issue and mystery.

When we together read longer books that can't be consumed as quickly – like a Harry Potter novel – he has to work with me to remind himself about the callbacks and references to follow along with the increased nuance.

I loved the Goosebumps books as a kid and they will always hold a special place in my heart. It's a shame the basic structure makes it hard to enjoy them as much on a reread as an adult, but that was never the point.
Let's hope it's not an indication of sloppy thinking in this case!
I'd challenge the term anti vax.

People get applied unrepresentative negative labels because they ask questions, challenge points, have different opinions or simply take principled stances.

So they get called terms that squash conversation and have a purpose to see them shunned.

I live in an apartment. Not even a super dense tower or anything, just a townhome style complex where everyone has their own garage and front door. From where I sit right now my phone can see nine networks on 2.4G channel 1 alone. 6 and 11 are around the same.

I want everything I can get running on the 5 GHz band and in the future the 6 GHz band. I've been holding off on new APs to upgrade from 802.11ac until I can get ones that support 6 GHz.
There's no "disabling wireguard" in Tailscale unless you don't run it at all.

You can secure this by:

- Not enabling the SSH feature on hosts where it's not needed
- Creating ACLs so only certain clients are allowed access.

So essentially, just use the same mechanisms as for everything else in Tailscale.

What is the delta-T in the graphs? I took that to mean delta from the average temperature, but then some of the graphs don't make sense. For instance, the fitted line for delta-T in the Stockholm data is entirely < 0, which wouldn't make sense if 0 represented the average temperature.

> What matters is how much investment is required to offer an alternative to Google's Chrome. Does it take billions or does it take mere millions?

> Building on top of Chromium means that it takes mere millions. And that changes the situation.

This simply does not follow. If you're building on the back of Blink you're still chasing whatever Google unilaterally decides to include in Blink. You need to do extra work to merge stuff you want and keep stuff you don't want properly disabled. Google has no impetus to make it easy or even possible for third parties to disable features in Blink. The cost to maintain a defanged Blink can very easily go from "mere" millions to billions if Google makes it difficult to merge upstream changes in defanged forks.

If web developers readily adopt whatever Google throws out, and lets be honest it's adtech companies adopting "features" to better fingerprint users without cookies, then a Blink-based alternative to Chrome will get zero uptake. If the top sites on the Web require Google's version of Blink/Chrome with all of Google's handy dandy anti-privacy features then it does not matter in the slightest that a non-Google Blink browser can exist.

You're pretending that Blink being Open Source is somehow going to affect the decisions of web developers (adtech companies). They are going to chase Google's version of Blink/Chrome because that's how they make the most money. Right this second Apple and Mozilla are just barely keeping Chrome from fully dominating the web.

Google is never going to make Chrome overtly user hostile. They're just going to continue to making Chrome an advertiser's dream browser because they are an advertiser. While WebEyeTracking might have some non-advertising use 99% of the user cases will be to make sure people looked at an advertisement long enough. If Google controls the specifications that define the web and sites adopt those technologies, there's no room for alternatives that aren't Google's Blink. Not only can defanged Blink not be practical but neither are non-Blink browser engines.
> We know exactly what these companies are going to do

What companies would that be? They are companies like Juul. And then there were plenty of small vape shops run by individuals who mixed their own e-liquids, or who curated a selection of e-liquids from other manufacturers.

> This is basic common sense legislation.

No, it isn't. Requiring age verification? Sure, even if it wasn't the law previously, all places I used did that already. Banning USPS from shipping nicotine? Maybe, but questionable.

But the 2020 PACT Act amendment goes even further. It covers Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems, a very broad term that includes "any component, liquid, part, or accessory of a device described [above], without regard to whether the component, liquid, part, or accessory is sold separately from the device." (!)

Think about this for a second. This potentially means lithium ion batteries, coils, wire, cotton, nicotine-free/0% e-liquids, etc. How exactly does that help? I would even be fine with other solutions, e.g. banning shipping anything containing nicotine. This is how it works in some other countries; you could still buy e-liquids and components, to which you could add nicotine. The mix-in nicotine could be more controlled.

I'm quite frankly sick of these bad faith arguments. It's a ridiculously broad law, and it's awful.

Indeed, if they can charge $100 per incident, then there would be a perverse incentive to have more incidents and false positives.

There's some very long articles from the NYT and I believe The Atlantic or one of those long form mags on the topic.

A mix of reliance on private contractors, union demands and decentralized nature of all the bits and pieces of engineering, all of which needs to be coordinated and lined up. Places like France and UK and Japan are more centralized (and unionization doesn't lead to the strange MTA and other rules we see here).

Pot smokers routinely go way way way over that limit. Is this a limit because THC levels will be supposedly deadly or because of something else (technical etc).

Public health / medicine has just gone off the rails. I believe pot smoking is bad for you, but where do they even come up with these recommendation.
Industrial hemp is a jack of all trades, master of none. Anything it can do, other materials can do better. Can you make a tshirt out of hemp? Of course. Is it better than cotton, let alone synthetic fibers? No. Hemp ice cream? Possible, but not better than regular ice cream. Hemp rope? Has been commercially available the whole time but fell out of favor in nearly all applications (sailing is an exception.)
That's the classic "only coder" mindset. Instead of being uncomfortable learning about software architecture, side effects or even pure functions, tries to solve every problem with for and while loops.
Perfect example of low quality reporting. First, it's a non-story. When a battery is violently breached in an accident, it is possible there will be chemical reactions, some of which might happen after a delay of days, if debris shifts and exposes a new breach. Such chemical reactions include fire. Second, the reporter gets facts wrong in the ancillary drama she weaves in with a "driverless" Tesla in Texas "veering off the road." The car in that case was not driverless. Texas law enforcement officers speculated at the onset about it possibly being driverless, but that has been cleared up for the record, but not for this hapless reporter.
If someone else is runnignthe physical wires and plugging them in, then VLANs and managed switches are a godsend; I'm sure.

If you're running the wires (and how many wires are we talking here? 24 or less i bet) ... then the simplicity is worth much more IMO.
Specialized tools go toward dunking the whole car in a container full of water or delivering the water to the underside of the car. Seems to me that water remains the preferred solution for some good reason. Maybe environmental?

Re: relevance, I'm referring specifically to OpenBSD the OS. It has no real use case. It's a research OS at best. The performance is abysmal and "code correctness" or "cohesion" is worth its weight in gold from a practical standpoint, which is to say very little.

OpenBSD fans like to make a lot of hay about its vaunted security posture but in real-world use cases I have no doubt that properly configured and up to date FreeBSD, Linux or even Windows Server is just as secure as OpenBSD.

There are just vanishingly few reasons to use OpenBSD today.
If I understand correctly (or perhaps my information is dated), Intel only has it on iXXX, where XXX are digits.

That's not native 64-bit integers. That's BigInt, and it's already out everywhere, and unless the situation has changed, it's significantly slower than just 64-bit integers would be.

I'm not actually attacking JavaScript for this, note. I don't think it's really all that much of a problem given the purposes of JavaScript, and I think it could really be better fixed by doing something similar to what Lua did, and have all numbers transparently either a 64-bit floating point number or a 64-bit signed integer. If you are using JavaScript and something like specifically needing 64-bit integers is an issue for you, there's a good chance you should just be using WebAssembly.
Sorry! The reason there isn't a link is that it is an (abstract) reference architecture, not an implementation.

Arguably I probably should have a sample implementation.

That said, a lot of the elements you need to build something in this style are available in MPWFoundation: https://github.com/mpw/MPWFoundation/
How was the decision made to roll this functionality out before announcing it to customers (we found it during a previous security audit)?

While it might seem logical in your mind to bolt on extra features and add value, your customers evaluate risk based on functionality of the software they are approving. Customer buys a VPN solution, magically gets remote access that bypasses firewalls. Can we trust Tailscale to not roll out a remote file backup feature and start silently exfiltrating data (as an extreme example)?
Making it very difficult for people to manage deploying mysql, as well as making it hard for security researchers to audit change, and security updates, is a real problem.

But that's oracle for you. Buy something, mismanage it, lose market share like crazy, the only plus is, it is amusing to watch them fumble about I guess.

They basically bought something, then lost 99% of their market share. Essentially every linix distro dropped mysql. It is gone from redhat, gone from debian and all derivatives.

Mariadb, Monty or not, was just a startup when all this happened. They literally handed Monty billions on value.

Pathetic.

Meanwhile, so many changes in MySQL weren't even from Oracle after they bought it. Loads of stuff came from Percona. Massive code for 5.6.

Oracle makes Facebook look like a model citizen.
Topics is rebranded FLOC. Everyone pushed back on it when FLOC came out, but that was publicly reviled and there was a simple toggle to turn it off (it was an experimental feature).

This is an excellent test of Google's ability to just push a very unpopular feature into Chromium derivatives.
Undoing someone's copy-pasted for-loops and while-loops is called "factoring" and undoing someone's bad abstractions is called "re-factoring" and is about 10x as slow. At this point in my career I have seen way more crappy abstractions and needlessly abstracted code than grug-brain code.

And, to be brutally honest, as much as I love those functional combinators, first-class functions, streams, etc, they suck to reason about.

Sometimes loops are better!
I think it's one of those liability things like "don't put q-tips in your ear".

I think your second paragraph rings true.

I also think there is a cost to using a non-mainstream technology that is often overlooked or under-estimated. I also think the benefits of non-mainstream languages are often over-stated. In other words, when you really look at the details the cool/niche languages do often have notable drawbacks. I suspect that for most organizations the pro/con or cost/benefit comparisons of C++ vs. D don't often come out in D's favor and never did.

In the early days D chose to use GC which today, and for the past 30 years I have done C++ work professionally, has always been a dis-qualifier (mainly because of the extra memory overhead involved as well as the GC pauses). I have always looked at D with some interest, but never come close to formulating an argument that I could take to my company and suggest we start using D where we currently use C++. C++ almost uncompromisingly holds true to its backwards compatibility goals with C and the early versions of itself. C++ also almost always holds true to its "zero overhead abstraction" goals. D chose GC and replaced its standard library at one point. It is an interesting language for sure, but I think there are some things C++ has done better, from a practical use point of view, at least for the use cases where its use is still justified today, by being a more conservatively designed language.
Hahahaha you think they had goals?? :)

To be fair most thc vapes are just a battery putting out fixed voltage and a button. The fancy ones are nice ofc but nothing more than a samsung 18650 battery and a variable voltage controller, maybe microusb charging instead of screw on too.
I don't fully I agree.

This seems like it has it's place, but there is very high value in a Unit Test that can run with no dependencies outside of your compiler/interpreter. Especially in interpreted languages -- to catch whatever the linters may miss.

The moment you need to access the network, you depend on everything that comes with the network (outages can happen);
Need a DB -- well then you need to start it, prime it; maybe you need a container/etc.

That's just a ton of overhead to validate that your steps are working, and that your code is clean.

Maybe for a small project this works, if you only have one layer of testing.

I'm not uptight - live and let live - but I absolutely cannot stand the stench. It's revolting to me. Oddly, I smoked it a bit in high school. But back then it had a much fainter, sweeter smell.
