I don't have any other recovery codes for this account.
Such cases could be handled if there were a way to verify that a spoofed number is an authorized use. Your cellphone number belongs to you. Some bank's 800 number does not. What we need is a mechanism that prevents the scammers from lying while still permitting setups like yours.

The law changed around a year ago with shaken/stir authentication being required. You can enable call filtering with your carrier to block most robocalls based on this data.

There are iphone and android app based solutions that will block more, based on previous reports, on information about the number, the timing. Like HIYA.

You can configure all unknown callers to go to voicemail. Setup an exception if the same number calls you twice.

If you are getting 50+ spam calls a day changing your number is another option. And if you change your number you can more easily block caller ID spoofers that use a very similar number that isn't really local.
Looks fun. I only have positive nostalgia for a couple of my CS courses and compiler construction is one of them.
Absolutely ancient in Rust's timeline (2019) but I wrote a thing on coming from Python and learning Rust (and Go): https://www.nicolas-hahn.com/python/go/rust/programming/2019...

I actually don't write any of these languages anymore day to day, but not by choice (doing a lot of Kotlin and Typescript, both are fairly decent languages IMO)

India’s GDP per capita is a bit over $2000. The EU GDP per capita is about $40k.

I completely understand them buying energy from wherever it’s cheapest. Industrialization of India decreases real poverty, and an increase in prices would hit them hard. Asking them to stop buying fuel is like asking a homeless person for food. And doesn’t the EU continue to purchase Russian gas?
One tangential I've been wondering about for around a year is the implications of the autocxx problem for libraries.

Let's say I write a wrapper around a large, complex c/cpp codebase. It's far far beyond my ability to read the code and understand when UB could occur. It's beyond anybody to read through the whole codebase start to finish absent a serious budget. The maintainers have documented some soundness invariants, but from the tone you infer they're only interested in calling out what they see as likely significant unsoundness.

For some use cases it still makes sense to use this library from Rust. Nobody could write a wrapper and promise it sound without an infeasible amount of work.

It's useful if the wrapper signals the difference between "this is unsafe because you need to uphold this documented soundness invariant" and "this is unsafe because I can't promise there isn't an undocumented soundness variant the wrapper could violate".

But but but! That kind of distinction makes sense to people integrating large codebases from memory-unsafe languages. People who write different kinds of Rust rightly think "WTF are you talking about, a chance of unsound is unsound is unsound, and you can't be unsound without the user invoking unsafe".

Right now I think the best compromise is to have the entrypoint of the whole library be unsafe (i.e. the constructor of every type), but all the fns you subsequently use be safe. The safety docs of that fn says that you the caller is promising the soundness docs of the underlying c/cpp library are complete and accurate, and that's probably not true.

This

- Technically complies with the informal unsafe spec: You can't have unsoundness as a user without writing unsafe

- Is practically useful in cases where the benefit of a large existing c/cpp codebase means you want to accept a little unsoundness

- Let's people who think this whole thing sounds crazy because the point of Rust is memory safety sleep sound at night because they couldn't accidentally end up using this.
> It’s only $67M for a Falcon 9 launch.

You're under costing it. A Crew Dragon mission is ~$287 million. That number is probably high because government orgs tend to have additional costs associated with launching for them above and beyond a typical commercial mission. But certainly much higher than $67 million.

The idea is inherently very romantic and alluring for developers: the unix philosophy. Arguably yes, it makes total sense, but the difference is that the tools to both develop software and combine them via unix pipes made that a beautiful and simple experience. I don't think AI and language models are there yet. Ultimately we have to move beyond the text just slightly to passing some structured data, because then we can pipe it not between processes, but actual APIs and services.

In the end a model likely ends up being deployed upon a set of APIs with a textual interface for the end user. Command and control system with built in intelligence. Adept + Inflection are likely the thing that get us there, but it's more likely google develops it first or has because effectively Google Search is a text box that's being piped into AI at this very moment to give you the answers you're looking for. It's only a matter of time before that turns into buying, calling, creating, processing or ordering whatever you want too.

> In this case, "it's experimental" should be read as "maybe the team will decide to make changes", rather than "it's not going to work half the time".

In that case, I can't in good conscience recommend we use such a feature at my workplace. We can't afford huge breaking changes, which is what that flag suggests. Which means my workplace is stuck with a bunch of `shell.nix` and `direnv` magic instead of clean flake-based envs.

It's not enough to gate features behind a flag, unless your only audience is enthusiasts. Versioning your features makes them accessible to a wider audience and encourages more risk-averse folks to adopt the features despite the possibility that they may undergo slight changes.
Rich people hold most of the shares and they don't want people to know that they're just as self-centered as the rest of us (likely more which is partially what inflated their coffers to begin with, but that's just subjective assumptions).

I abandoned PHP in 2013 for Go.
Never looked back.
Sometimes I have to fix PHP code, I hate it every time.
I can't take PHP seriously.
When ever I see a project advertised that's written in PHP I never consider it. It's like spam mails.
Performance matters and PHP doesn't perform, not compared to Go.
That's one reason, the other was the absolute stupidity of the PHP crowd.
Their new dogma and wrong paradigms applied to the language.
Symfony is god awful, it's slow to develop with, performs awfully, dependency hell, overly complicated without reason.
I had to rewrite 3 sites, 1 is still left to do, in Go because there is no upgrade path to current versions. Major security issues. Do I have to run PHP7.3 with manual fixes and Symfony 2.3. I can't upgrade, I have to rewrite from scratch, and because of that I'm doing it with Go.
Worst decision ever to use Symfony.
And the arrogance of this Stof guy, stubborn but full of himself.
And his work had so many security issues.
The whole OO fetish back in 2013 with Java methodology with the sheep crowd killed PHP for me.
I actually loved the language for its simplicity, I came from C++ in 2001 and loved it.
In 2010-2013 it became a monster.

The Hottest App in China Teaches and Tests Citizens About Their Leader (2019)
your practices are the epitome of Shadow IT that company management doesnt like and fights
We don’t have the amount of labor, let alone the the rightly skilled labor (I recognize these aren’t “skilled labor” jobs, which we don’t have enough skilled labor for but we also don’t have enough people to do the unskilled labor inline with other parts of the world because we stopped training people for this type of work decades ago) to do this kind of work. We just don’t. Especially not at the volume you would need for stuff like AirPods or Beats.

The Foxconn fiasco in Wisconsin was a grift on many, many levels - but the labor part of it was never taken care of even before that whole thing blew up.

The reality is, if you were to manufacture something like AirPods (let alone an iPhone) in the US, you would be not only doubling or tripling your labor costs, you’d be getting shittier labor for your money. Not to mention the additional expenses and tariffs of having to recenter all of the material imports and parts into the US from other parts of the world.

I’m all for paying better wages throughout the world, even at the expense of profit margin or raised device prices. It’s a lot harder to justify paying more for lesser-quality labor and to upend logistics because of some false idea that “made in America” means anything.
If you use Google accounts with 2FA, please do the following:

1. Setup a backup email for recovery

2. Copy paste and save Backup Codes somewhere remote

3. If you are using an app like "Google Authenticator", they have an easy way to Export the settings on another phone. Do it on your wife's/gf's/family/sibling etc phone and that way you have another backup of 2FA codes.

4. Do not use the "Google Prompt" option because that only works on primary device.
>I also really think that observing that websites often act differently when you’re not focused on them is a pretty standard-level observation

Agreed, and I would guess that is the extent of what people do with that observation. They see it, and have no clue why or how or what that means. Is it only certain browsers that do it, or does it depend on if it's a phone or laptop? Maybe it's a AT&T service feature on phones now? Or maybe just iPhones do it. Maybe it's only on previously visited sites? Or maybe it's a virus or a scam of some sort.

People with no frame of reference see things very differently. It's a magic box.

Europe to Force Laptop Makers to Adopt USB-C for Charging
Europe have been getting Russian oil, gas and other resources for trillions of USD for the last 20 years perfectly aware that the money was spent on corruption and military buildup. Moreover, Europe continues to do so even now. European companies even continued to send military equipment to Russia after the initial invasion in Ukraine in 2014.

I do not say that it makes India somehow right. But the scale of wrongs by Europe is so big that any benefits India is trying to get are minuscule .
I do "Do Not Disturb" 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No calls, no texts, no notifications, no nothing. Yes, Apple has indeed built it out recently. At least on iOS, you can add exceptions if you want, like your favorites, or your contact list, or even specific people. You can also put it on a schedule if you think 24/7 is too extreme.

Honestly, I don't worry about the "urgent call from the doctor" scenario, and I have a family. If it's important, whoever is calling will leave a voicemail. For 99% of the calls I get, it's not even remotely important. I don't structure my life around outlier scenarios. Not having a phone constantly dinging and buzzing for my attention is worth missing the extremely rare emergency.
Because India is also putting a lot of effort into submodule production. It's one thing to do final assembly in a location. What India is doing is putting a lot of effort into building the ancillary industries that accompany final assembly. All those discrete resistors and capacitors that go onto the PCB have to be sourced from somewhere. If you run out the line can't do anything. This doesn't happen in cities like Taipei, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen because there's literally infinite amounts of these commodities in the area thanks to all the manufacturers of these commodities.

Nobody in the US makes SMD parts anymore. It's all higher up in the value chain. But those parts, even if they're commodities, still need to be made. India is going for it which is why Apple is diversifying there instead of the US.

> So why was it necessary to shift production to China?

It wasn't necessary. You're conflating necessary with desirable.

The gap between the two is an increased profit margin, which is desirable for most corporations.

Further, the CCP is becoming both dramatically more hostile to business in general and more dangerous as a foe to liberal, democratic nations (including Taiwan most prominently), while simultaneously the financial cost of operating in China has continued to climb by the year (which is a trend that is unlikely to significantly reverse). The China discount for offshoring isn't nearly what it was 15-20 years ago.

The disaster that Russia is causing in Europe is a small hint of what China might cause in Asia in the coming decades. Russia's perceived capabilities weren't nearly what the West thought they were; China's military capabilities are more likely to exceed our expectations (in recent history China has more commonly followed the path of hide your strength and bide your time, as opposed to Russia's vacuous boasting), and it's backed up by a gigantic economy with manufacturing that Russia could only dream of.

Your theory doesn't explain deflation. Mine does.
I wonder if the author has programmed in Java in the last 7 years? Most of his comments were accurate about 2015, but not since then. Perhaps like a mentor made a big deal out of these and he absorbed it.

It has become popular to hate Java, but again that goes back previous JDK's.

JDK 19 is a strong functional language that should not be dismissed lightly.

From what I have experienced, I think that is perfectly reflected in a lot of software too.
Yeah, I would be more surprised if it wasn't in Python, considering HuggingFace is an AI/ML company.
What kind of reason? You can have plenty of communication via GET requests.
In my experience most message sending services (re: Twilio) offer webhooks to consume replies which can then trigger a response template appearing like an actual person.
I think students (demographically) have changed as well as the conditions they operate in. As you've pointed out, even attending a higher ed is much more common. There are not only more students, but also more students from different backgrounds. Motivationally there is likely similarity to how they have always been, but the challenge of training a student population of increasing size and diversity remains.
I sort of work much on automation. Once upon a time in a Canada futon factory I worked as summer jobber. They had a automation packing machine that is like getting broken every two or three hours so the whole line of workers have to wait for it to get fixed, like most my later working scenarios.
I do believe I have pretty solid engineering background.
The biggest problem of automation is the mechanical parts are so easy to break down. The second problem is electronic chip mostly last two years, if they are located in a very complex place (inside an engine, tall building roof etc), repair and replacement cost is prohibitive.
Untrained and transient labors hardly think of the two problems.

while doers do, haters hate. It is complex.
Lowering prices is a good thing for consumers and businesses who need to buy those things. There's nothing "unequivocal" about the argument here. Including the value of speculative investments (good investments will still pay better than real interest rates) or the position of economists as you surely are aware. And by the way those historic periods of massive unemployment had other causes with deflation as a side effect, not the cause. Other times in history had deflation during periods of growth.

The optimistic view of all of this is that these tools will give people with skill and experience a massive productivity boost, allowing them to do the best work of their careers.

There are plenty of pessimistic views too. In a few years time we'll be able to look back on this and see which viewpoints won.
