I find this to be a curious statement, as in not reliable in what way?

You would only have no idea those variables are connected if the tooling for the language can't help you figure that out. Ideally, in such a language you could just query the program state to determine everything that would be influenced downstream. Also step-by-step execution and record/replay or program state can help debug those tricky issues. New paradigms of programming call for new paradigms of tooling and debugging, and figuring out what those are is part of the fun!
Unless it starts to cost them money, they won't inovate. If they for example start to be limited of denying coverage, they have to bring their customers to live more healthy. Currently denying coverage is an gold mine for us insurers.
Hotest water you can stand. Blast copious amount over lenses, both sides. This removes some grease and large grit. Put several drops of detergent on finger tip and rub onto thumb tip. Using thumb and finger coat detergent onto both sides of both lenses then rub gently. A few seconds is all you need. This removes all remaining oils and suspends any remaining grit preventing friction scratches during cleaning. Rinse lenses with hot water and gently dry with paper towel. Hold up to light to check progress. Remaining smears if any come off with paper towel. Been doing it for decades. It never scratches and it cleans like new.

I can't tell if you're joking or not! :-o What language/framework is this in?

Edit: I now understand this to be a joke. But.., given the craziness that I've seen in the past, this doesn't seem out of the realm of plausibility!
> In a market with one good, the value of a dollar must move inversely with the value of the good (no examples needed, it's mathematically tautological)

this is incorrect
> Notice how that chart only goes in one direction - up and to the right.

Up and to the right does not imply that CPI increases are accelerating, which I agree is the problem. You can have a perfectly healthy economy with linear, constant inflation, that's been the case for most of history. Some small, relatively consistent amount seems to be good for a society, it encourages reinvestment rather than hoarding. Straight lines are good, parabolas are dangerous, they usually turn into hyperbolas as an economy collapses.

Is it going up and to the right faster and faster? Here's a chart of the month-to-month delta of that chart since May 2020:

https://i.imgur.com/Id8tGSE.png

It's noisy like all real data, but a linear fit says y = 0.0028x - 123.44, R² = 0.476. That suggests that CPI is going up and to the right about 1.5 points per month, equal to 0.5% monthly or 6.2% annually, but that each month the rate of increase gets larger by 0.0028 points. That's what we need to bring back to 0.

Your Call Center workers would be instructed to hang up immediately, and systems would be programmed to try to recognize that system. You have hit on something important though:

Customer call centers are generally one of the first places to be aggressively ootimized, and if you hace a call center that has long queue times, this is a powerful signal about what management really thinks is important.
I think the idea was to try and say "by hooking this into an ad platform, you'll get useful analytics like adoption rates, even if you're not serving ads," but the writer couldn't quite sell themselves to it.

I'm gonna guess there was a first draft of the doc that was basically "this is only about ads," but then someone who reviewed the doc said "this sounds terrible, explain how it's more than just ads," so they added a "this isn't just about ads" section and tried to come up with a list of bullet points, but they had very limited success because it wasn't true.

I recall hearing this myth being circulated for decades.

One of the reasons it likely persists is that people don't have a good understanding of what their brain does on a day-to-day basis, and they don't have a good idea of just how hard some of those tasks are.

We do things like walk across a room and pick up an object, and don't really think about all the processing that goes into that.

You have an accurate and dynamic mental model of the room, your body, and how it can function. You do an enormous amount of processing just to see and recognize anything. And it (usually) "just works" and we don't have any real insight into ourselves for how it works, for how much processing effort goes into it all.

If you have someone start down the path of programming a robot to do that "simple" task, they'll have a much greater appreciation for all the things their brain does for them. Trying to precisely coordinate the actions of tens to hundreds of muscles, receiving an enormous amount of raw sensor input (the feel of the floor under your feet, etc.) that is then filtered and prioritized for high-level consumption, all the motion planning to dodge the chair in your way, etc.

We do so much for such a simple, everyday action, that it seems "easy" and "simple" when it is nothing of the kind.

That's what that "other 90%" of your brain does, you just aren't conscious of it.

That's fucking insane that it's allowed.

But if the ability to override the domain is truly that important, then there needs to be manual vetting of the ad buyer and the target domain. I'm sure you could automate it with signed TXT records, but I think there should still be a human in the chain to at least double-check everything.
I fundamentally disagree with this as being the correct code, a http get request is give me this resource, not does this resource exist, however it is all about context.

It is your API, it is your decision to decide if you have looked for the resource and were unable to find it, so return an error, or you have looked for the resource and found a placeholder that says there could be a resource here, but currently isn't and successfully return that placeholder.

To suggest people are wrong or abusing the protocol for not choosing to implement placeholders in their application is incorrect.
To suggest people may benefit from implementing a placeholder instead of a 404 error is useful.

My personal experience is that the error status code here is much more useful than the message. It's a big red/orange flag that says don't do what you normally do with this resource.
But if your API lends itself particularly to being queried for things that often don't exist then those red flags become noise that mask other things you really do want to flag as errors.
I'd been planning to add an autocomplete symbol search box. I ran out of time because I knew the new CPI data was being released this morning. I wanted to launch the site today, so last night at 3am ET I just added a big list of symbols. But yeah might be good for SEO too :)

If I have a proper cleaning cloth and some cleaning spray handy I'll use that, otherwise I'll just use my shirt or a clean microfiber cloth. Even with that abuse, the coating on my lenses tends to last roughly 2 years. I've never managed to cause enough scratching on my lenses to bother me before it was time to see about getting new ones anyway.
This is true. Large plastic tanks, like 3-5k gallon ones for water storage doubled and potentially heading for tripling in prices because of this simple fact: You can only put like 3-5 on a truck that has to drive from very far away. It makes it so that if your state does not mold plastic, then you are directly paying for the fuel of that truck.

In short, it's therefore impossible for a US frogman in WWII to be using a term which wasn't coined until after the war ended.

The CG45 regulator wasn't patented until 1945. It was "commercialized in France as of 1946, [and] was the first to actually be called the "Aqua-Lung"."

Furthermore, the book starts a little under two years after Perl Harbor, i.e. 1943.

It is shocking to me how many people in the computer community explicitly tell curious minds not to even try building a crypto protocol.

It isn't enough to say "you'll never get it right for production, please use a framework or library for production". You simply don't want them to even experiment on their own.

I agree with saying "the most effective way to learn cryptography is through books and tools X, Y, Z". But one would imagine that writing a poor hashing algo would open up a door to alternate dimensions by how superstitious some are about it on this site.
On one hand, it bothers me that I can't walk around the block without ending up on a dozen security cameras because everybody has a video doorbell. You can modify the motion and privacy zones to exclude certain areas such as the sidewalk, but I'm willing to bet most people do not do this.

On the other hand, I've personally had success with the police and court systems based on video evidence I could provide from my doorbell camera. Also, previously I had a long-lasting issue with a neighbor at my old house who would get really nasty about my yard and other issues (I suspected old age and mental issues) that completely ended once I put up a security camera to record the area he was doing this from.

If I do end up ever getting more security cameras, my plan is to show my neighbors exactly what angle they're recording and make sure they're OK with it. While I technically have the right to record whatever I want to in my state, I'd rather not make anyone feel uncomfortable. I recently came across a video where someone ended up pointing IR lasers at their neighbor's cameras and it was an effective way to disable the cameras without breaking any laws [1]

This is the same for me: my most starred repo has 220 stars and a dozen forks--and no code. It's links about writing (prose) with Emacs: https://github.com/thinkhuman/writingwithemacs

The dish soap method worked best for me. But the best method was getting lasik, now my old glasses are in a drawer gathering dust.
Just seeing “I clean my glasses” (before the title was corrected), I thought: gee it’s about time I place that Zenni order to replace my favorite pair that broke a few months back. Went ahead and ordered two just to have a backup, for all of $30.

Granted I do clean my glasses (soap and water after each shower while they’re steamed up, gently towel dry). And I’m not much for disposable goods, these will last me years. But in the same spirit, I also like that Zenni accepts my expired prescription. My vision hasn’t changed enough to warrant another trip to the optometrist, so why waste the money, or my time, or theirs?
I'm not sure your comment about swapping out the cheese for foam is true. I did the roll a few years back (in fact I'm sorta in the Netflix We Are The Champions episode about it). The cheese is basically wrapped in a wooden wheel, and let loose.

Best I can find is that in 2013 [1] it was swapped for foam. But I don't think they continued that decision.

Good luck with that. My parents purchased 60 acres of beautiful land and built a very nice house on it. My dad was a construction worker and my mom was a part time school bus driver/eventually USPS worker.

My wife and I both have degrees. There's no way we could ever afford their place. The population has increased too much and space - even in rural areas - is finite.
Use a better framework? In any good framework, returning a json body with a status code should be a one-liner.

One topic the article didn't even touch was flagging bad parameters in the request which didn't make sense on the application level. HTTP has 422 for that. I commonly write things like

validate_my_param($c->req->params->{format})
or $c->detach(HTTP => 422, ['Invalid format']);

(the HTTP view renders that string either as text/plain or json as {"message":"Invalid format"} depending on the accept header of the request.)

I've used that for years and been quite happy with the downstream results.

Edit: I should elaborate on the downstream results.

On the javascript side, the ajax methods often contain separate success and failure callbacks. You often need to handle the failure callback to ensure the user knows that something broke. If you also have an error path in the success callback, it clutters the code.

ajax({
success(data, ...) {
if (data.wasActuallyAnError) {
// lines
// of code
// to handle
// the error
}
else useTheData(data);
},
error(response, ...) {
// lines
// of code
// to handle
// the error
}
})

vs.

ajax({
success(data, ...) {
useTheData(data);
},
error(response, ...) {
// lines
// of code
// to handle
// the error
}
})

This problem is not insurmountable of course. you could wrap up your error code in helper functions and reduce the boilerplate. You could write a completely generic error handler for your front-end framework and automatically include it in all ajax calls. You could also write a custom ajax method that interprets the 200 status error messages and diverts to the error callback. But I still think the 404/422 status code is a better pattern to start from, since most of the client-side frameworks I've used switch code paths based on the status code.
Yeah, maybe it's more of certain problem people. It probably takes one bad apple to create a culture of theft.

Ha, you'd hate me. I have cameras pointing out the front of my house that record my driveway, the road, and incidentally the neighbor's driveways and front yards and such. No audio, though.

But they're all cool with it, so there's that.
I think that corporate sponsorship of education needs of to be outlawed. We've had at least three generations of exponential feedback of antisocial principles dominating business education. Taking much longer to go hockey stick. MBAs can't keep resting on the laurels of bringing the first GI Bill gen from draft to serving technical competence to industrial relevance.

Garbage. Teams may be the worst Microsoft product in a decade.
First, majority of exploits are not even in math, they are in implementation. Second, as much as math is fun, the claim that you need to start with it is plain absurd.

First thing this mantra does is that we collectively know less a out crypto and security. Second thing it does is that it selects stick-in-ass rule followers away which is exactly contraproductive. And third, it makes us stuck with crappy convoluted code crypto libs had twenty years ago, cause supply of people capable to improve it is not build up.
Dust is fine, you adapt, but with grease it gets blurry and there isn't much ability to correct. I really noticed this when I switched to new glasses with a hydrophobic coating that handled grease very differently.

I agree, but if they were a "game engine and everything around games" instead of spreading focus and recourses all over what they have been trying to do, my guess is they would be in a very good position now.

I don't see why that would be. Godot has bindings for all sorts of languages including C#. Why would it be any harder to write C# code with Godot bindings than C# code with Unity bindings?
That’s the expected burn. What surprised me, was that the non-sensitive area "hand" would burn, and that it would seep below the top layer of the skin so you can’t even clean it off.

> If your lens is being scratched by this try spending a bit more on better glass. There's no point in skimping on something you hold on your eyes the entire day.

Doesn't always work that way. I never skimp on glasses, atm I'm looking through 500+€ Zeiss lenses (that's just for lenses, frame price not included), I've had them for a year and have one visible scratch. I always take care of my specs, always carefult when cleaning or putting on table but still have one pretty big and annoying scratch. How did it get there, I have no idea.
Those are fair points. I should've expanded a bit on my list though, since a lot of my points could be interpreted in a way that I didn't mean.

1. Yeah, I have no doubt about that. My peeve with k8s is not its inherent complexity, but just how much worse it made our day-to-day work. When we ran things on managed services, everything was a lot more understandable and straightforward. k8s is piles and piles of hard-to-discover yamls and I (and other folks in the team) feel that it made our infra a lot harder to understand and change.

2. This was my most unclear point. What turns me off about my current experience debugging distributed systems is having to trudge through millions of log messages coming in constantly. I just can't say I like the ELK stack, despite its popularity.

3. Fair point, though I'm aware of the distributed nature of things even within a single host. I do expect it to be different though. Will I still have to account for "the response was lost, you don't know what happened" situations? My understanding is that being close to the metal I can at least trust that the wires are all still there and working, and if they aren't, well, I can say the machine (or something within it) is broken and needs to be replaced. Do you have to do things like sagas or deal with eventual consistency at the kernel level? Hardware guarantees seem a lot stronger than what you get in networked systems.

4. Yay!

5. The difference here is that even a distributed system that's built correctly will still page someone one day. There'll be more traffic than it was built for, or some network dependency will be down (like, not the things you accounted for, but something fundamental like a DNS server or whatever), etc. My expectation (and past experience) is that in code that's intended to run on a single host, I'll either get it right and it'll just work as intended, or there'll be bugs that I have to fix, and once I do things will just work. What I find extremely frustrating about services is that it seems that no matter how much effort you put into quality, there will still be times when it just goes down and people have to put out a fire.

Definitely going for it after all the responses here!
You might argue that popularity is an indication of how many people are stuck with it due to (for example) Bootstrap’s unmaintainable nature.

I agree with thread OP that tailwind is a mistake, but I’ve also never tried it myself, and I see a lot of people like it. I’ve avoided it because I have a rule of thumb to avoid any DSL embedded within another DSL. It’s a nightmare for static analysis, as demonstrated by the fact it needs its own compiler. That’s enough reason for me to stay away from it; I’ve got enough layers of compilation to worry about as it is.

Privacy doesn't have to be a binary, GP probably expected a modicum of it in that they assumed their conversations could be heard by their neighbours should they be listening in at the time, but is uncomfortable at the idea of a digital record of each audible outdoor conversation being kept in perpetuity, that the neighbours and any third parties with access the footage could use against them if their relationship went sour (which it now seems it has...). The "expectation of privacy" argument should really only be used when discussing whether recording should be legal, not when determining whether someone is a jackass according to social norms.

The section you mention is immediately preceded with their (personal) opinion on why this was satisfactory:

> This information is derivative of the information Mr. Musk first sought in Sections 1.01-1.03 of the May 19 diligence request list. Although Twitter has
provided certain summary data regarding the mDAU calculations, Twitter has not provided the complete daily measures as requested.

In other words, they sent the monthly rollup and he wants the daily breakdown. They further argue all throughout that they feel that the data requested would not even service the stated purpose, and they want to exercise their discretion to withhold in certain ways. In addition to them explicitly saying "we still believe hes acting in an adversarial role so we are trying to close the deal but are still aware he might end up trying to start a competing product instead".

Obviously theres two sides to it, but when you sit down and read the public statements Twitter makes an _extremely_ convincing argument up-to-and-including screenshotting Musks own public tweets about the whole affair. In comparison, Musks SEC statements I would classify as "throwing shit against a wall and seeing what sticks" with very little explicit justification on why legally he is correct. The entire evidence presented by him is

> Preliminary analysis by Mr. Musk’s advisors of the information provided by Twitter to date causes Mr. Musk to strongly believe that the proportion of false and spam accounts included in the reported mDAU count is wildly higher than 5%.

i.e. we arent at all going to outline anything higher than 5%, just that its "wildly" higher and we are basing this on Musks "strong belief based on preliminary analysis".
