Most people I know actually intercept the submit event and convert the form to a JSON object before sending to the server. This is in fact the default behavior for most front end framework. If you do that then you can use input.valueAsNumber and it won’t matter how the user types the number as long as the browser understands it. Your product manager should be happy that their European users can type 13,37 while American users can type 13.37 and everyone is happy.

The visual inconsistencies have been figured out a long time ago. I don’t think it would be easy for you to find a competent front end developer that is unable to style a number input according to—or close to—your designer’s spec. I’ll admit that styling validation errors is a bit involved, but if you are using the constraint validation API (as you should) you are doing that anyway regardless of the input type.

Even if you had standing, what would you sue for? The government is spending its own money on the program. If it didn't spend that money, it would just sit around in the treasury. Not go through some kind of reverse tax process.

Government spending doesn't mandate that you or anyone else has to do anything.

I know many devs who abandoned the 'high quality of life' of Western Europe for higher pay elsewhere. It is really not all that glamorous to be a dev here.
I agree! It sounds crazy but you can build it up slowly. Now in my "low days", when I work too much and finish late, I have just some 12000 steps. In "good days" periods, it has become normal for me to get 20000 steps.

I set just one rule: go for fast pace walk every day no matter the weather and no matter the time of the day.
At least it's a bit nicer than JWZ (whose car got cut off by some techbro once) does. His site (not linked to obviously) displays a rude image if it detects a HN link incoming.

It doesn't have a whole lot more sex than your average fantasy novel, and like your average fantasy novel it's also an extremely long retelling of the author's tabletop game.

(Fate somehow has exactly the same magic system as White Wolf Mage even though it's too old to have copied it. Not sure how that happened.)
The point about the effects defensive writing has on writing quality resonates. Writing is a big part of my work and I've begun to realise that I write defensively - spending time couching things in a context, inserting caveats everywhere, going on asides to deal with potential challenges - it makes for a terribly long and meandering read, whatever point I had to make buried beneath shields of parentheses and moats of footnotes.

Unfortunately, I don't see how to escape it, at least for me that's just the nature of the work.

Also I use NoScript so the redirect didn't work for me.

For me, my first hypothesis would be that they never gave torture victims nice burials where their skeleton would be preserved for future archaeologists. Maybe they were left in a field for vultures and wild animals to get at, or thrown in a midden.
> As I read the article you link to, the vast majority of SaaS appears to qualify as rent-seeking.

The word "rent" can be confusing. Knowing that "rent" in this case means economic rent and not the recurring payments you make to a SaaS provider, which SaaS vendor are you thinking of, and how are they rent-seeking?
This is already done, although without significant penalties (and maybe impossible to add them as there is no global government to enforce them). Nonetheless basically all satellites plan to be in a low temporary orbit in the first place, or have plans/margins to either move into a higher parking orbit or deorbit. But things can fail, preventing these actions.

> That makes it sound like a small miracle that 80% of the people there can afford to live there at all.

Oh it absolutely is! People in London pay a lot of money just to be there, and over the last couple of decades I've watched friends move further and further out, some still in flat-share arrangements into their 40s, as the idea of owning property anywhere in anything resembling an inner zone moved from "expensive" to "surely nobody can afford that?" to completely out of the question. And my friends tend to be at least vaguely professional workers, which of course means they are part of waves of gentrification pushing the people with less resources even further away.

How the whole thing sustains itself is something of a mystery to me. The city still needs cleaners.

(FWIW the whole of the UK is pretty much used to quite small living accomodation now, compared to the average American or Australian home)

>eccentric and unpopular worldview

The idea that women should have the same rights as men is an eccentric and unpopular worldview. The idea that slavery is wrong and immoral was an eccentric and unpopular worldview for millennia. I'm not suggesting that the right to privacy and human dignity are popular or universally held beliefs, I'm stating that the assault on privacy and human dignity is occurring right now, in contradiction to your assertion that this assault only occurs as some sort of hypothetical, slippery slope argument. We can agree to disagree over the worth of privacy and human dignity, but it is simply false to argue that the violation of privacy and human dignity is some sort of theoretical assertion about future possibilities, rather than an ongoing transgression.
Things I learned today. Apparently, opening a link in a new tab doesn't set the referring host domain. [discovered by, opening story in a new tab and wondering what the author meant]
So you would rather have built completely new tracks, stations and other infrastrusture, which can only be used with in-system trainsets and will most likely be completely incompatible with anything running on other european rails for decades? No possibility of dual-use with older sleeper trains, regional trains or freight trains?

I would argue the decision was not as bad as you make it out to be.

I’m in the middle of writing a series of security articles on my blog and a couple of people have told me that some of them are too long.

They are long because I was trying to be thorough, but more so I was trying to make sure I pre-addressed all of the arguments I knew would come (particularly in my enterprise DMARC deployment article).

I realize that what the author talks about here is part of why I do that.
In cases like these, I use multiple personas in Chrome (I think Firefox has user profiles) so I can log into my personal accounts on my work computer while still keeping everything compartmentalized.
During one expedition, a team member named Paulo Pereira visited the man’s hut and found it unoccupied. Pereira observed the man’s bows and arrows, which were still in the hut, left the man some gifts, and then began to walk away through the forest. Suddenly, he heard a voice: “Ho!”

Pereira turned and saw the man standing among the trees, about fifteen yards away. Then he disappeared, vanishing into the foliage. Pereira, stunned, looked down and realized that he was standing at the lip of a spiked-bottom pitfall.... By warning him of the danger, the man had likely saved him from serious injury or death.

The jewellery value of it comes exactly from what you wrote.

Like you could buy a $15 Casio wrist watch and it will tell you time just fine, but if you buy a Rolex you aren't exactly paying for time keeping. The value here is not time or time keeping, it is meant to show the wages and expenses of people/resources taken to produce it up the chain.

It took X slaves to produce this.

Yes, germany is already doing that with electric cars. I have a Wallbox in our garage, with seperate electric because it is sadly 300 meters away from our house. So I can't use our solar. However this connection is terminated via GSM when many people are using the grid. This is usually around morning and evening. If the grid isn't exhausted they will turn the electricity back on. I really like this approach. It works well.

It would be nice, if this would be mandatory for big official mining operations. Pretty sure they would just move somewhere else but still.

Sure, that seems very likely to be true! The flip side of the coin though is that rqlite really is a different database than SQLite. I'm not making a case against things like rqlite and Cockroach; I think they're great, and also my bread is buttered on the same side as theirs. I'm saying that if you're not going to use rqlite --- and most people aren't --- you can get SQLite to the same multi-reader single-writer cluster setup that most people do with Postgres.

And there's a distinct advantage to doing this with SQLite: if you can viably deploy SQLite (because your tooling is asymptotically approaching the state of the art for Postgres), your reads are ultra fast, because you're not hitting the network for an extra round trip every time you query your database.

India did. It was acceded by the Maharaja. Afghanistan’s opinions on the Durand line are, likewise, irrelevant.

And in any case, these countries are perfectly capable of sorting these disputes out amongst themselves, the same way they had to sort out much else after independence, like who inherits the armed forces and the treasury.
Google certainly has a bunch of extensions in IMAP.

I'm not sure about the messages themselves, but I wouldn't be surprised if Google has extra metadata and supports features that only work within the world of GMail and gracefully degrade in other clients—but, unlike IMAP, I haven't worked with that directly, so I'm not confident either way.

(Concrete example: GMail has additional integration with Google Calendar just like Outlook has integration with Outlook's calendar, but I'm not sure how that manifests at the protocol level.)
>scan their intranet and find a network share

Assuming screenshot is real[0], they have over 1PB in their Google Drive, so chances are everyone just uses Google Drive with shared drives, and employees use Drive for Desktop (previously drive file stream)[1]. Shared drives are pretty powerful and access to them can be gated at the same level as you can regular Drive files.

My theory is that some high-level IT person either got phished and didn't have hardware 2fa, or that high-level IT person downloaded malware / got RAT'd and the Google Drive scanning was done in the background on their machine. Depending on the hierarchy, it might not have even been a scan, could've been the attackers sating their curiosity by browsing through all their internal files and happening to find some PAM credentials.

Wait? That unresponsive time is from the screen?! I get that for a minute or so sometimes but then it goes away. I thought it was the iOS software glitching out. Is it maybe a faulty digitizer?

I luckily have only had to replace the battery once for a small cost out of warranty. My storage is 256 GB, so that isn’t an issue yet.

I’m going to go look into unresponsive iPhone X displays now cause I feel like I’m having the starting signs of this issue with mine. It’s not a huge issue, as it rarely happens, but I’m curious now.

Sorry to hear your phone is super slow. I have a slew of apps on mine and it behaves rather well for me. shrug
The SerenityOS project builds everything from scratch. In addition to “fun” they have made a very interesting argument about this.

Ladybird implements its own HTML parser, CSS renderer, TLS layer, JavaScript engine, WASM VM, and even its own font rendering. As if building a browser from scratch was not hard enough, why not re-use some existing libraries as some comments here suggest.

Andreas had countered that he finds it slower and more difficult to work with a typical Open Source project that uses many libraries authored independently. In SerenityOS, if you want a feature or find a bug, you just make the change wherever required and check it into Git. This is true even if you make changes to multiple sub-systems at once. You have access to everything. In a more typical project, you may have to work around bugs in layers you do not control. You may be completely blocked by missing features. The standard argument is that you can just add it yourself but, as he points out, you may have to wait months for your changes to be incorporated and they could even be rejected. You can fork stuff but having to maintain a foreign code base written for different use cases using different philosophies is no fun. If you have to maintain it, why not write it the way you want.

Anyway, he argument is that for large, complex projects, it may actually be easier to write things from scratch than to try to cobble together a basket of independent dependencies.

There is something to be said for this perspective in my view. His progress with SerenityOS seems to support the argument.

At a rate, I am hopeful they can succeed and certainly wish them luck.

When humans do the input there is often not a single regular language that works, and imposing only one will often frustrate a lot of users.

A really small example of this is postal codes in Canada. For a long time the norm was to put a hyphen between the two clusters: A1B-2C3 but then at some point a lot of websites decided that's bad and they started rejecting it, often with really obtuse messages. This is just annoying and no one is really well served by it. Canada post doesn't care.

And that's not even getting into 0 vs O and the fact that yelling at the user for entering the wrong one is rarely helpful.

I think most of the time the better thing to do is attempt to normalize and ask the user if the normalization is correct. For a numeric thing like a phone number this is probably stripping out non-numbers (other than + at the start) and putting hyphens back in and validating the number of digits you get back, and presenting it to the user if it differs. More work but feels way less hostile to the user.
But WotC doesn't want them to be more valuable, it wants to be able to capture more value from them. These are not equivalent goals.

And this is one of the big things with many of the apps crypto promoters wave around that are about big incumbents adopting crypto: they implicitlt require those incumbents being motivated to create value that people invested in crypto infrastructure (the exact for depending on the particular cryptocurrency model) can capture rather than seeking to capture created value themselves.

How does an employee know if that message is legitimate or not? If you break into a secure system, mass-emailing all employees saying "URGENT: WE HAVE BEEN HACKED. PLEASE EMAIL YOUR PASSWORD AND SSN TO THIS ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY." is sure to get some percentage of success.

Sounds like Adobe has taken a page out of Microsoft’s book. That is, defaulting saving to their paid cloud storage solution instead of the user’s local system.

It’s a scummy tactic but it must pay if companies keep doing it. I suspect it preys mostly on the vulnerable less-tech-savvy users.
What a weird way of looking at things.

Microsoft bought Powerpoint, bought Excel basically too. There wouldn't be an Office suite otherwise.

Google bought Keyhole, there wouldn't be a Google Maps otherwise. Google bought Youtube. They couldn't win with Google Video. Google bought Android.

etc etc etc

This is how the industry works. In general.
It is your bias to see only two sides and to see your side as morally superior whose transgressions are justified. There is plenty of utter horriblenesses coming from both “sides”.
This article starts of interesting but goes totally off the rails. If you want to make an argument that college tuition is a fraud, you need to quantify and quality that. Other than evidence for administrative bloat, the real number to look at is ROI. If you look at ROI, the numbers are positive. People who go to college have higher lifetime incomes that folks that don't. If you were to go into that in more detail, you'd find that this differs drastically by major, with certain majors being negative.

A good article would've broken this down further and asked the question of whether return on college education was causation or reverse-causation or whether lucrative engineering education can now be done online for lower cost. There's also the idea of college as a means of accreditation for the job market. The author goes into none of this.

What about the development of nuclear energy, football, DNA fingerprinting, birth-control and LSD? All created in American colleges.
> Yes, given that someone accepted the terms and those terms were met, then Alexander won the bet, no question.

You didn't read his post declaring victory. There's plenty of question; he's giving credit for "a llama with a bell on its tail" to ten pictures of llamas without bells on their tails, and for "a robot farmer" to ten pictures of robots with absolutely nothing to suggest they might be farmers.

He was way, way too eager to believe that he'd won.
We don't run internal honeypots and no one has ever been caught in our company, so I disagree. And yes, a reply may be "That you know of...", but considering that we run weekly audits and nothing has leaked, I can be 100% sure of it.

I think this and "higher than usual call volumes" are really just about plausible deniability. Anyone who's worked retail will have a story about someone who insists that the thing they're buying was cheaper last week even though it wasn't. Telling people up front that things have changed probably at least sometimes defuses that conversation one way or another before it even happens.

In addition, there is a notion of "photometric nights" which include, among other requirements, Sun being at least 24 degrees under the horizon. These conditions are necessary to conduct precise photometry, because an extremely tiny amount of scattered sunlight still makes it through when sun is between 18 and 24 degrees. So in a way, we can add "photometric twilight" to the list, although the number of people who are affected worldwide will probably fit into one big room.
