I understand your viewpoint, but can't agree with you. Dismissing everything as just politics and giving every viewpoint the same validity would mean that "rape should be legal" and "raising the tax by 1%" are equally valid positions or opinions to hold. Sure, there may be people which would agree with that assessment and calling one viewpoint extreme might seem be divisive to you or ignoring that it's just politics. But I can't agree with you. I find that notion absurd.

And where do those bulk Google accounts come from? Compromised accounts due to weak/leaked passwords, without 2FA.

What does Google do about them? Making it harder to log in to dormant accounts from new devices and locations. What's the result? Periodic HN complaints on someone unable to access their decade-old dormant account, or an active account with a truly forgotten password, etc.

I've wanted to try this, but that connection drop issue sounds like a deal killer when serving page data when compared with ajax polling. How does it handle connection failure? I've worked on event based software for desktop/mobile where the best case was to detect the connection drop on the client side then show a "reconnecting" message while it tries to regain it's websocket.

It usually sounds easy to implement, but comes with more edge cases than you'd expect.

First off: Thanks for putting an intro to what Managarm is right up front.

Second: This is amazing! Unless I'm missing something, this is a microkernel OS that's already got working wayland, normal unixy stuff (GNU coreutils, filesystem stuff), some sort of Linux compat (!), and good enough hardware support to actually start using for light useful work. How have I never heard of this?
This is precisely my experience also. I loved TDD when developing a parser for XLSX files to be used in a PowerShell pipeline.

I created dozens of “edge case” sample spreadsheets with horrible things in them like Bad Strings in every property and field. Think control characters in the tab names, RTL Unicode in the file description, etc…

I seem to have no trouble finding big paragraphs. Opening one from "Fall of the House of Usher" by E. A. Poe. 389 words.

DURING the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country, and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher. I know not how it was—but, with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit. I say insufferable; for the feeling was unrelieved by any of that half-pleasurable, because poetic, sentiment, with which the mind usually receives even the sternest natural images of the desolate or terrible. I looked upon the scene before me—upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain—upon the bleak walls—upon the vacant eye-like windows—upon a few rank sedges—and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees—with an utter depression of soul which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveller upon opium—the bitter lapse into every-day life—the hideous dropping off of the veil. There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart—an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught of the sublime. What was it—I paused to think—what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the House of Usher? It was a mystery all insoluble; nor could I grapple with the shadowy fancies that crowded upon me as I pondered. I was forced to fall back upon the unsatisfactory conclusion, that while, beyond doubt, there are combinations of very simple natural objects which have the power of thus affecting us, still the analysis of this power lies among considerations beyond our depth. It was possible, I reflected, that a mere different arrangement of the particulars of the scene, of the details of the picture, would be sufficient to modify, or perhaps to annihilate its capacity for sorrowful impression; and, acting upon this idea, I reined my horse to the precipitous brink of a black and lurid tarn that lay in unruffled lustre by the dwelling, and gazed down—but with a shudder even more thrilling than before—upon the remodelled and inverted images of the gray sedge, and the ghastly tree-stems, and the vacant and eye-like windows.

At large scale, I expect a programming language to support multithreading, in order to avoid the resource occupation of multiple processes. When one runs dozens of serving instances on a server, threads and processes make a significant difference in terms of memory requirements.

The experimental (therefore, not production-grade) support for parallelism has very poor performance, see their benchmark of the web server: https://crystal-lang.org/2019/09/06/parallelism-in-crystal.h....
This is always what people say, yet it’s not really true. You can always stay in touch with the people you care about via other means, and they with you. Yes, there might be some events you’ll get left out of, especially in the beginning when people aren’t aware you’re not on Facebook, but eventually you settle into a calmer social state.

I deleted mine five years ago and I just have a bunch of independent group text threads with family and friends as well as slack/discord. It’s different, and not as conveniently centralized, but it’s certainly not impossible to have a fulfilling social life, go to events, and keep up with people without it. Maybe not so much the third cousin or old family friend. Personally, I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything positive by not being on it. Meanwhile, I get to avoid being bombarded by ads, opinions I wasn’t interested in, manufactured outrage, and feeling the need to share my every thought with “everyone”.

The "soap and solvent" is sodium hydroxide (lye) and DMSO at 120 degC. Those are... fairly... well behaved chemicals, but lye is stout stuff and DMSO attacks nitrile gloves.

You could imagine a remediation process that uses this process but the combo ain't exactly Dawn dish soap. I'd almost prefer pyroprocessing over it.
You know, there are master key systems that do exactly this: you can have a master key that opens everything and special keys for just one of the locks. There are even grandmaster systems with some locks opening subsets of locks. I'm personally a huge fan of a certain Finnish manufacturer but there are many others. You can't usually put one of those compatible cylinders into you car, usually, and there are other limitations, but, still, even just for doors and lockers it's a great thing to have. Also, usually, those expensive cylinders are reprogrammable in case of a compromise and there are other security features (keys being impossible to copy is the one I like most).

That's honestly one of the things I wish we could get a handle on.

Company gets sued for using and hiding the danger of a compound they learned fairly quickly was toxic. Goes and invents another compound and switches to it without having to prove its safety. After it becoming public that they were intentionally hiding dangers for a half century, I feel we should take away their ability to be given the benefit of the doubt.

All I think they learn from these lawsuits is that they need to get better at identifying and removing people who will call them out on their bullshit.

Edit - I know the whole thing with DuPont was using PFOAs in the manufacturing process and leaking (intentionally dumping) them into the environment, but it's not like the final product (Teflon) is safe to ingest either, which as a cooking surface, you most definitely will in some quantity.
this is classic exploration-exploitation tradeoff, like a multiarmed bandit. The general gist of most multi-armed bandit strategies would agree to listen more and more to people with good ideas, and spend less and less time (approaching but never reaching zero time) listening to people whose ideas you do not find rewarding.

Slightly off topic, I’m keen to dispose of our Teflon frying pan. Does anyone have a good recommendation for an alternative, ideally one that doesn’t take too much “maintenance”?

Went to defcon for many, many years. Used to be on a first name basis with many of those who put the con on. To get banned from defcon is interesting but even 12-15 years ago they were having LGBQT+ conference events.

I don’t know what caused the band but my guess is it has something to do with sexual or other harassment of some type.

It used to be damn near impossible to get kicked out.

The only two times I saw them really care about anything was when they kicked out the female reporter.

The first year after it moved to the Riviera they got on staged and asked people to “kindly quit hacking the fire alarm system because as many of you are smoking here someone will die in a fire.”

The conference area was no smoking but plenty of people were smoking and drinking there as early as 7 or 8 in the morning.

Good times.

You phrase it like the teachers prioritized their own comfort ("agency") over children's learning. That's not the case. I'm sure the teachers felt that their methods - or "agency to choose methods that work for them" - were beneficial to learning. I'm sure they felt that the heavyhanded top-down micromanagement was hindering learning. Were they wrong? Yes, probably, I don't know, I guess. I'm just saying they weren't motivated by selfish reasons.

Quit being so hostile, if you are not interested in discussion I would recommend not spending time on discussion boards.

You first spoke as if it was an absolute certainty ("This is basic evolutionary theory") and now are saying, "all of the normal caveats apply" which is exactly what I was getting at in my OP thread. The "normal caveats"/edge cases are exactly what this whole discussion is about. Clearly we are speaking past one another, I apologize for my role in whatever went wrong here.

Those are much more recent attacks. We're talking about a time when CRT screens were the norm, they are noisy enough to read from quite a distance.

That was kind of the point. US and Europe have had the technical ability to trace cash, but not the resources or werewithal to do it unless they were dealing with money laundering or counterfeiting. That being said, the federal government does track money more granularly now--cash payments to businesses usually get dropped off at the bank on a nightly or weekly basis, and banks do scan all bills they receive and compare them against a list of flagged or counterfeit bills.

And for the most part, minorities using large amounts of cash were always subject to additional requirements to "prove" their identity and the provenance of the money. The legacy of this is that banking amongst minorities is a lot lower, especially in the black and Latino communities.
I use FB roughly in this manner. So I only go in the app about once a month. I’ve learned that if I just like the relevant posts from those people I actually care about, that’s what I will see. They still post crap stuff, but the algorithm usually knows the post is old AND was low engagement so doesn’t show to me by the time I show up.

Downside is I’m that weird guy that’s liking 3 week old posts that are ancient history to everyone else.
You could get a new pan with 'ceramic' coating. It's just like teflon in basically every way.
There's a lot of conflating unit-testing/TDD and QA here.

Yes, when you start writing code, it may not be well defined, or you (the coder) may not understand the requirement as intended. That's OK.

Write your test. Make clear your assumptions and write the code against that. Now your code is easier to refactor and acts as living documentation of how you understood the requirement. It also acts to help other engineers not break your code when they "improve" it.

If QA, the client or God himself decides the code needs to change later, for whatever reason, well that's OK too.

Your mileage may vary, but I only ever wanted RSS feeds that provide the actual article content. Just spitting out a feed of links back to the site with headlines is not how I or many others used RSS and RSS readers wayback when. Full article feeds have all but died out now anyway, another nail in the RSS coffin for me.
Screenwriters encourage a "vomit draft" -- A draft that is not supposed to be good but just needs to exist to get all the necessary parts on the page. Then a writer can choose to either fix or rewrite, but having a complete presentation of the story is an important first step.

I've advocated the same for early projects or new features. Dump something bad and flawed and inefficient, but which still accomplishes what you want to accomplish. Do it as fast as possible. This is your vomit draft.

I strongly believe that the amount a team could learn from this would be invaluable and would speed up the development process, even if every single line of code had to be scrapped and rebuilt from scratch.
Some people don't like chunky bacon, but a lot of others do.
One can enforce the use of TDD through pair programming with rotation, as Pivotal does.

I don't know that Pivotal (in particular) does pair programming so that TDD is followed, I do know that they (did) follow TDD and do everything via pair programming. I'm agnostic as to whether it's a good idea generally, it's not how I want to live but I've had a few associates who really liked it.

Well, the closest thing on Lexis is an attempt at inciting an assault in a prison, by declaring over a loudspeaker that a certain inmate was a snitch. Berkshire v. Moran, 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 110795 (W.D.Mich. 2015).

Which means one of the following: (1) never happened; (2) didn't hold up in court; or (3) the defendant was totally cool with being labeled a violent convict and didn't appeal.
But i have issue with your 'unamazing': the mere fact of existence is a miracle, and what you do with it is up to you. The amazingness is an entirely made up and subjective judgement.

In this case, you just seem to be going around saying 'you are spending your life mediocrely' because that's your measure. From my perspective, you have no business declaring that to be a universal value.

I personally think there are billions of different ways to spend this life, and billions of different ways to value it.

We might try to establish some external measurement, as you appear to be doing, but what is that actually worth, besides making you feel like you have some company in mediocrity?
High temperatures do not bother Teflon, there's no reason to dispose of it because of that.

According to the EPA Teflon frying pans do not leech any PFOA into food, that's not where people are exposed.

I've noticed that for some reason a ton of people think they get exposure to PFOA from cookware, and that's simply not true. PFOA exposure mainly comes from waterproofing coatings, slippery coatings (like the bottom of skis), and firefighting foam.

Paper dishes (plates, straws, etc) are a big source of exposure because they need to make them waterproof. Make sure to ask for plastic.
As a semi-avid TDD:er I agree about what's a good test.

I don't see the connection between TDD and your bad tests examples though.

I would test a sort method just the way you describe, using TDD.
Do you know any person in your circle of acquaintances who follows this "majority of calories through red meat" diet?

> Does the presence of vitamin fortification give processed cereal an unfair advantage?

I'd guess so.

> I love me some carbs, but I think any system that puts those as a high quality source of calories deserves some strong skepticism.

I'd say carbs are totally fine (except for lots of sugar) if your lifestyle comes with burning all the associated calories. Thing is, only a fraction of people in the global west actually live such lifestyles.

So for them it's quite easy overeat on carbs and take in too many calories to get enough (high quality) protein.
Vegetarians/vegans have it even harder.

IMO, that is.
