Absolutely, defence in depth is how real systems are designed, dont know why you're being downvoted.

For the same reason, security-by-obscurity is also a valid (though not sufficient) tactic for one of those layers (which also surprises people).

Its about delay and demotivation to slow down your attackers.
I have a notebook I filled with Q&As for every point in The CPP Programming Language that surprised me. It's about 40 pages I occasionally read through, though I've been meaning to convert it to spaced repetition.

Are you maxing out all cores? Perhaps try running multiple processes.
Is there universal treatment for this in most countries or does this also imply that municipal water everywhere is equally "unsafe"? Some quick Googling suggests common britta filters don't remove it either, for instance.

unsafe in scare quotes because the article says environmental levels have been steady for the past 20 years and we aren't all dead yet... and lots of animals of course drink rainwater more directly out of bodies of water.

It's obviously not a good thing but I don't this means "we're doomed"... the article here cites a professor saying we just have to live with it, but it would be also interesting to see if anyone had leads on removal or any sort of mitigation/protection/neutralization schemes.
Show HN: FOSS local-first cross-platform note-taking app with handwriting
Butterfly is an app to simplify note-taking on digital devices. It's a great alternative to OneNote and everything will be saved locally. You have the option to connect your storage to a webdav storage to back up your documents and use it on multiple devices.
The app is available on Windows, Linux, Android and on the web as progressive web application and is written in Flutter.
This is actually very poor statistics.

Take a look at the actual study: https://www.jhep-reports.eu/article/S2589-5559(22)00122-7/fu...

And look at table 3.

They are testing 6 different types of PFAS, and only 1 is statistically significant.

They need to be using the Bonferroni Correction because they are checking multiple hypothesis. To do that, you divide the required p-value (0.05) by the number of tests (6). If you do the Bonferroni Correction, none of the PFAS is statistically significant.

Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/882/

Thus the real conclusion is that the study did not find any statistically significant link between 'forever chemicals' and liver cancer.

I suppose that depends how you define “chugging along.” They might be relatively stable and safe from DDOS, but malicious devices can certainly do damage to other users of a network, in some cases without even connecting to it.

For example, an IMSI catcher isn’t technically _connected to_ any cell network, but it does exploit the assumptions of clients who attempt and expect to connect to one.
I think you can do a lot of this with React-three-fiber:https://docs.pmnd.rs/react-three-fiber/getting-started/intro... in combination with React-three-flex: https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-flex . React-three-fiber lets you make three.js components in react, and react-three-flex will let you do flexbox style layouts to make interesting UIs. You still get all of the capabilities of three.js with a lot of the plumbing done for you. Check out the examples from react-three-flex for some examples close to what it sounds like you want to achieve.
This is about removing PFAS from your tap water. Using cast iron does not fix this. Reading the rest of the paragraph would have made that very clear.
It's one thing to shove a camera in someone's face. It's another for people to have any reasonable expectation of not getting into even the background of a photo when walking down a city street or in some other busy place.
My girlfriend is a "content producer." She makes travel/restaurant/"location" content. Because she is large enough, she does not make content for someplace unless they pay her, unless she really just likes the place.

People frequently bemoan that she is "spoiling" or "ruining" the places that she is promoting -- because they don't know that the place is paying her!

I really want everyone who travels to realize: no, it's not content producers who are ruining it. It's YOU. YOU are ruining these places. You are going there, putting your footprints on the trails, using the restroom, polluting the parking lot. You are responsible. You are the one who wants only what the location can give you -- a pretty view, a life changing epiphany, an "authentic" view at a different culture, a different experience. And what do you give back? Your purchase at the gift shop? You're the selfish one. And, you're the stupid one, because you're not even getting paid for it!

Of course, I don't really believe that. At least not 100%. I do think travel is inherently a selfish act, just like eating at a restaurant is a selfish act. It's alright to be selfish: really, it's OK. Because if it's not OK, that means that it's not OK to live at all.

DFW puts it better than I do [0]:

As I see it, it probably really is good for the soul to be a tourist, even if it’s only once in a while. Not good for the soul in a refreshing or enlivening way, though, but rather in a grim, steely-eyed, let’s-look-honestly-at-the-facts-and-find-some-way-to-deal-with-them way. [...] To be a mass tourist, for me, is to become a pure late-date American: alien, ignorant, greedy for something you cannot ever have, disappointed in a way you can never admit. It is to spoil, by way of sheer ontology, the very unspoiledness you are there to experience. It is to impose yourself on places that in all noneconomic ways would be better, realer, without you. It is, in lines and gridlock and transaction after transaction, to confront a dimension of yourself that is as inescapable as it is painful: As a tourist, you become economically significant but existentially loathsome, an insect on a dead thing.

This seems like a better argument for using a system which is correctly designed. A public ledger is a bad fit for currency and layering kludges on top isn’t as good as a better design, especially when that exposes you to being an accessory to criminal activity.

The thing is, if you criticize X (for any value of X) then you're always going to antagonize some people. It's exceedingly hard to avoid doing that, no matter how careful you are. Especially if people are looking to be insulted for their own political gain (always good to have a "bad guy" to be antagonizing about, whether that's a single person, group, or vague concept such as "The West").
> cook eggs overeasy on my cast iron all the time

Cast iron is great in a professional kitchen. It wears well. And it benefits from frequent use. Most home cooks won't use their cast iron cookware daily, let alone multiple times a day. That affects the seasoning.
Nowadays they do that, but in the past (think of the old Netscape and MSIE days) they used to just prefix "www." and suffix ".com"; there was no "default search engine" back then.
Have you checked the your cast iron pan's seasoning for potential carcinogenic chemicals?

Organic chemicals when exposed to heat can turn into bad things (see nitrates, acrylamide).
I've been writing a cross-platform UI toolkit, currently macOS, Windows, and Linux. Eventually I'd like to compile for wasm/Canvas, android, and iOS. C++ was sort of designed for this kind of thing, it is performant, and it interfaces with the OS well. Eventually I'd like to have at least Python, Swift, and Rust bindings, because I really like using Swift, but none of the UI parts are available outside macOS.

It's probably not ready for use yet, but give it six months or so: https://github.com/eightbrains/uitk

Currently there is far lower proportional representation of low income students in college than of any race targeted by affirmative action. So clearly something isn't working.

Low income students are obviously disadvantaged in the admissions process and current affirmative action processes are not remedying it. So the question remains: why shouldn't socioeconomic status be added as a factor for affirmative action?
My experience is that the days of Windows applications leaving files and dll's spread willy-nilly across your system is mostly gone. It has been a long time since I removed a Windows app and the application wasn't completely removed. Per user data files may remain but this is equally true on Linux.

You’re not ‘doing’ anything to someone by taking a photo in public with them in the background. You don’t have reasonable expectations and it’s fine for reasonable people to disregard them.
In the US, live theater usually has very strict rules about any sort of recording. I've seen ushers on Broadway rushing to block people from even taking a picture of the empty stage before a show or shooting a selfie at curtain call. Live popular music is more of a mixed bag.
Can someone explain how burning out your employees, freezing hirings, possibly laying off a large number of your employees, in a market where people are actively quitting en masse... is supposed to increase productivity? Or are company execs just under the impression that "the beatings will continue until morale improves" was seriously good leadership advice?

You make a lot of assumptions. Why people believe things and their reasoning process varies wildly. For myself, religion is not a product of an intellectual excercise but of experience that was a product of faith. What you are saying is if you presented me with an argument you believe to be factual, even though you claim nothing is indisputable in your comment you still think your argument would overrule my experience which you do not share. You speak only from your perspective and I agree that what you consider fact is never beyond dispute and as such it would be impossible to change my mind on matters I have experienced first hand based on what you are presenting. Religious beliefs require accepting there are things we as humans simply cannot understand or process, existence beyond our ability to percieve or comprehend directly unless we measure indirect effects of course, that is why you need faith.

It makes no sense to argue with rules limiting your reasoning and operation to a scientific process when speaking to a person who does not share those same restrictions. Science does lead to grear knowledge and progress as well as an understanding of truths but yourself are being religious about science if you believe it is the only way to understand all things true and real in existence (unless you can prove that of course).

This childish fight of science vs religion is silly. They are nor mutually exclusive and to both pursuits there is nothing more important than being correct.
One thing that surprised early Oyster users on LU was that the new system knew about routes. If you live in Zone 3 and you travel to a Zone 3 station on the far side of London, you could buy a weekly paper ticket that's not valid in Zone 1, and it'd let you in (in Zone 3 it's valid) and out (in Zone 3 again, it's valid) despite your train passing straight through Zone 1. However after switching to Oyster weekly the computer would look at these journeys and go, er - no, the sane routes use Zone 1 so a ticket needs Zone 1 validity...

On day one there was no noticeable symptom. But if your Oyster only had a season ticket for outer Zones and your route was via Zone 1 the system had surcharged you, and when you tried to travel the next day the Oyster has negative balance, you can't use it until you pay off the excess. This infuriated some travellers, when in reality they had actually been cheating (presumably in most cases without realising) previously.

Today Oyster can actually track if you insist on taking the long route, you tap pink validators at key interchanges you'd need to pass through to do your slower and less central route avoiding Zone 1, and the system will go OK, fair enough, you really did go the long way so keep your money. I expect very few people do this.
Bitwarden is awesome.
This quote from the article: "If the work you complete is always below your velocity, that tells me that you're making up a number rather than using observations," is quite insightful.

I would add that another reason this happens is that Planned versus Unplanned work is not tracked. If you don't formally track unplanned work I would argue that it is impossible to get meaningful velocity numbers.
Are you sure you recall correctly? The linked page recommends upgrading GIF to PNG, "the only reasonable alternative to paying the Unisys tax on the web is to upgrade graphics from GIF to PNG format", which makes sense because it's a lossless conversion. PNG was a new format back that, without much adoption. JPEG doesn't make sense as a substitute format for GIF, and would greatly increase the size and decrease the quality of files.
"To conflate Latino and undocumented immigrant is upsetting as fuck"

Or... just an accurate perception of reality? Turns out, not many Namibians or Mongolians make it to the USA undocumented. This doesn't have to be a politically charged observation unless you're trying to force it to be one.
I don't know why but every time I've heard about this type of monitoring I'm somewhat in awe of it. Like it makes complete sense but I'd never heard of it until the pandemic and it seems like an extremely useful but also non-invasive monitoring system. Even "cooler" it's been around for over a hundred years (obviously in cruder forms but still same concept).

Isn't there a hack/scam where you could (in the absence of a same-station charge) pay less or nothing to ride bart?

I remember people talking bout this ages ago (like, 20 years ago). You keep two bart cards going, and use the same one to enter and leave the same station. If there's a same-station charge, you can use it to enter/leave a nearby station, avoiding the higher fee for longer trips.

Is there a possibility that the same-fare charge is kept around to prevent this hack?
Companies that anticipate scaling needs well in advance and plan accordingly tend to make smoother transitions than if they are always reacting to the latest crisis. Too many wait until it hits the fan before they do what is necessary.

Some small businesses will try to run a set of Excel spreadsheets as the 'company database' until it absolutely breaks on them once the load reaches a certain point. Similarly, companies that opt for a lighter-weight solution such as SQLite might have to scramble when they have to port all their data to Postgres or other database.

In today's environment where a company can go from nothing to a massive data overload in a short period of time, it can be particularly challenging to anticipate what is coming their way. This is one reason why cloud computing is so popular.
I don't think you understand what that word means.

You are thinking about games the way Apple and Meta think about games - purely about the $$$.

It's this exact reason why they can't crack the market despite a large number of attempts.

"Cracking the market" for an art form like video-games isn't a matter of revenue, think of it more like tv, film or books.

The best games are made by the most talented developers, alongside the best game designers and directors targeting the most powerful consoles. These are the factors of making the best experience you can make in the video-game world.

You can't - I'd wager won't ever - find something like the Last of Us on a mobile, yet anyone who knows anything about gaming knows that is a game that will sell millions of consoles.

You play crap games on your phone for 5 minutes at a time because you can, but you go out and buy a console because you want to be immersed in the latest the art form has to offer because you want to.

A simple framing question; do you want to watch the new Top Gun on your 5 inch screen iPhone screen?

Multiple examples from the article:

> Making TikTok by playing loud music creates a nuisance for pilgrims from all over the world who come to the birthplace of Gautama Buddha

> Over recent months, there have been reports of TikTok creators storming farms and trampling crops, and even causing traffic jams while shooting. Chamomile farmers in Morang in eastern Nepal were forced to harvest their crop early, as some TikTokers trampled on their crop. In Kathmandu, a popular street that was decorated with colorful umbrellas to attract tourists after the Covid-19 slump went viral on TikTok, and authorities were forced to shut it down as creators flocked to the area, leading to traffic congestion.
