Dude, first of all congratulate yourself for making the choice to pick the better version of yourself. Your choices are between what feels good right now and what is most important. This is a journey and you must allow yourself the time to transition to the better self. Stop beating up yourself you can do and realize that this is a new set of skills you much acquire, that you are going to learn a brand new behavior and transform to this new state. I share what worked for me.

1. Do not drink alone. Just make this rule. No sitting at home and putting away a 12-pack. You seem to be ok for weeks. So challenge yourself to a 3-week limit, put it on your calendar. Pick a nice, upscale bar, dress up and treat yourself.

2. Start waking up early. For extra credit before sunrise. Get out of bed. Go for a walk in the chill of the morning. Feel that air in your lungs. Just do this.

3. Loose the friends. This is the hard one. They are not your friends. You help them feel secure in their lack of agency over their lives. Just very very slowly start being less available. And here is the opportunity to gauge who is a good friend - "I am making a change, lets meet for a walk/movie/museum instead of the bar". The ones who berate this path, loose them.

4. Of the few people remaining from step #3. Appoint someone as overwatch. There will be a time you will be like "fuck it" and get yourself a bottle of wine, 12-pack or whatever. Call or text this person for overwatch request. Take a video of you pouring the booze down the sink. And send it.

5. Finally, remember what Tony Stark said to Peter Parker -- if you are nothing without the suit, then you shouldn't have it.

Epilogue: Guilt. This is the worst thing. All our learning is based on institutional guilt. Tests. Grades. Evaluations. Re-imagine yourself as in third person. Your body is a resource. And you are equipping it. Guilt is rear view mirror stuff and a poor motivator.

What will happen with you is this. You will fall in love with early mornings. You will have time in the morning to do something you truly endear. You will trust yourself with this block of time and this capacity will overflow into all aspects of your life. And in about 6 months' time, you will dress up, you will go to the nice bar, order that drink and very very likely just walk away from it.

Good luck and godspeed.
For me, this went away after a fortnight or so. I also find that if I fall off of my routine, when I restart with a decent fast (72 hours or so) it eliminates this adjustment period. Kicks the body into keto
Why does it have to be Apple? What can Apple genuinely bring to this market, besides another subscription service?

It isn't just this e-bike fanfic, in years past, there have also been highly popular articles exhorting Apple to make a better TV, or even an electric car.

Why? Apple has never made built anything more ambitious than...a phone. And once it succeeded there, it went on to turn the phone into a walled-off services platform. Apple today isn't a gadget company so much as another boring SaaS vendor.

> The current situation is a good compromise between compatibility and bloat.

By this logic, any operating system has perfect backwards compatibility, since you just have to fix whatever's broken ... even when the compatibility shims come from 3rd parties! Linux has perfect backwards compatibility, you just have to download this patched Gtk+ binary from this guy, etc.

Whatever the excuse is, they have dropped their backwards compatibility story. It was part of their official, published ABI, and now it isn't. All the excuses are as bogus as they are on any operating system. Apple also claims they drop backwards compatibility to avoid "bloat", but it is just that, an excuse.

And "bloat" is quite a bogus excuse, too, since it could for example offer to auto-download the required components like it does for previous .NET framework releases. Or even put an updated version on their download site (e.g. as with winhelp). Or just made it a Windows-independent redistributable (e.g. CRTs). One could have an argument if this was the case. (Apple did auto-downloads at some point). Yet here they just didn't care and 3rd parties like Wine had to come in fill the holes.

Not to mention this is not what people have in mind when they think "bloat"; after all, Wine manages to provide all these APIs and sizes at significantly less than a barebones Windows installation.

There’s a whole sub field of journalism called “curatorial journalism” or “meta journalism” that reports aggregated news that has already been reported by other outlets. This means they don’t report any new facts per se, but sometimes the combination of facts over time can color a story differently than when the facts are reported in isolation. I find this form of journalism to be very compelling.

Author links to the docs, but fails to mention if they emailed security@stytch.com - which has not only been in docs since at least late 2021, but also found doing a simple Google:

- https://stytch.com/docs/#security_overview

* Note: Search for “security@“ on link above.

- https://web.archive.org/web/20210801185042/https://stytch.co...

- https://www.google.com/search?q=stytch+security+disclosure

To me, little strange to be so critical and have obviously spent time to research and document their findings, then fail to do even basic due diligence.

Also appears author is posting this anonymously, which given the prior information, makes me wonder what their motives are. To me, this feels more like an attack than responsible disclosure. Flagging the post.
Is it for the public good when it only benefits one group, namely the non-homeless? Because if police could arrest them, it would benefit you, but the homeless is getting a criminal record which would not only not benefit them, it would make their case even worse.
Incentives matter. On the other hand, the link here seems tenuous. Is 8VC so tied to private prisons that they run an astroturf campaign to lock up people without housing? Or does a significantly wealthy person have enough money spread around that a motivated reasoner can find just about any link they'd like?

The real voice behind these voices is The Cicero Institute, a conservative think tank founded by billionaire Joe Lonsdale. He is significantly invested in the private prison industry through his venture capital firm, 8VC.

Lobbyists from The Cicero Institute are currently pressuring lawmakers in states around the country to adopt laws . . .

Lobbyists from Cicero call their proposal the “Reducing Street Homelessness Act” . . . . It includes specific language designed to turn anyone sleeping in public into a criminal – at law enforcement’s discretion, which means enforcement will be uneven. It also proposes that states divert funding for permanent housing solutions into temporary encampment projects

Either I'm missing something here or the login CSRF explained in the report is a very weird and not exceptional impactful vulnerability. As described the author is talking about using a CSRF attack to force someone to authenticate to a service that uses Stytch.

Regardless this is a HUGE stretch to say "has no CRSF-protection in their authentication API". You've shown one instance where they don't have CSRF protection on an endpoint that could be argued it's not necessary. Do they have CSRF protection on endpoints that let you adjust your account, perform actions in an app, or other legitimately concerning endpoints?
AI will reduce the demand for "knowledge" and cultural workers (writing, music, art, programming, data analysts, etc, basically everyone who doesn't do manual labour) by 90-99% with the remaining workers being AI helpers/"prompt-engineers". Once this transition picks up steam, it will happen so quickly that the rust-belt-ification of the midwest will look measured and quant in comparison, and we saw how government didn't act to help people that got dislocated through absolutely 0 fault of their own. And that's not even getting into how AI/ML solutions often only hit the 80 mark in the 80/20 rule and cause bizarre issues for people that run afoul of the system (see: Google's ML driven account takedown processes with youtube/play store), while winning purely on their low marginal cost.

If AI was paired with an explicit promise of a generous UBI then I would merely personally choose to not consume AI content and not be against it in general. But that isn't how the market economy works unfortunately.
> Probably the only safe thing to say with these facts in mind is that we haven't found a solution to this problem that both reduces the crime output of those likely to commit it, and also treads carefully across our collective sensitivities surrounding the topic.

It's certainly the thing to say if you don't feel like actually changing anything.

The main reason behind the disparity in crime demographics become fairly apparent when you compare them to the statistics on poverty demographics. Research shows a correlation between poverty/income inequality and rate of violent crime. It follows that reducing the crime rate, regardless of demographic, is a matter of raising people out of poverty and reducing the level of societal inequality.

> If it were easy, we'd probably have found the solution by now.

Quite frankly, most countries haven't even tried looking for one. Most prison systems only put people through a process that only makes them more likely to reoffend. The insane thing about this is we know that some places are better but we make excuses and refuse to change.

Given the prevalence of alcohol in many cultures, it really seems that developing a substitute drug from which one can immediately and completely sober up on-demand (with no hangover), and which can plausibly be legalized, is going to be a major medical/social/lifestyle advance (and possibly make a lot of money for some people). (I think I read that David Nutt in the UK was leading a team claiming to be developing substances along those lines?)

Adding my personal data point to the discussion:

- I like drinking alcohol. I do it socially.

- When I drink socially I often am doing good for my relationships with other people; if I were staying sober I would not be being so social. I find it very hard to not drink at social occasions.

- However, like others commenting here I hate the way that I cannot think effectively about my work the morning / day after drinking. I also dislike feeling physically ropey in the other ways of course.

- So, personally, I've felt very conflicted about this for years. In some ways I'm jealous of people who seem to be able to integrate it into their working lives much more easily than I do.

- For the above reasons, I don't drink at all most days, and often go a week or two without a drink. However I vaguely suspect that that makes tolerance worse when I do drink; certainly I whine much more about the after-effects than other people I know.

- Maybe I should try tricking myself a bit with alcohol-free beers etc and testing to what extent I can enjoy socializing like that.

- So, this is a topic that has been around for ever and that I care about quite a lot. Admittedly it's a bit of a first-world problem, but somebody solve it please! Surely it's not beyond humanity's abilities to come up with a substance that is fun and mind-altering in the desired ways, could plausibly be legalized by the (increasingly open-minded on these topics?) governments concerned, and which we can purge from our bloodstream / cancel the effects on-demand?

I run the risk of becoming a single topic commenter but The Sinclair Method has had such a profound impact on my life that I cannot resist. It turned me from getting fired from FAANG for blacking out at work events and getting into trouble to completely sober in one year. If anything, I am too sober now, I had intended to continue to drink socially using Naltrexone but at this point I don't have the urge to drink just one beer even while knowing all that I need to do is take the pill and it is ok to do.

Highly recommend reddit.com/r/Alcoholism_Medication has a next step for anyone interested in learning more. Not only is the community extremely supportive, the sidebar links out to great resources including a free/legal PDF of the aforementioned Espaka book. That book was my starting point, highly recommended, it is a quick read and lays down the foundation for The Sinclair Method in the first few chapters (it is an incredibly simple system and that is why it works).

"When you ruin the market economy around drugs by making them essentially free the criminal aspects seem to disappear."

California has legalized marijuana for many years and there's still a strong cartel presence in marijuana trafficking. Cartels still find a way to profit from marijuana, other drugs, and immigration.

I find the notion that making fentanyl available at no cost being good for society by removing cartel involvement to be completely nonsensical. The end result is still the same. You still have a substance on the street that is fatal in incredibly small doses, and being used as fillers in party- and counterfeit drugs.

Legalizing fentanyl isn't going to alter that dynamic nor change the drug's lethality.

So no, the criminal aspects just don't disappear. They merely adapt.

I've read through maybe half and doubt you'll find it useful for Rust development. If you're interested in learning a dependently typed language it is fantastic though.
I think it comes down to if you think it makes sense for variables to be captured by value or by reference in closures.

Which ever makes the most sense depends on the context of a program which is why in languages that have both reference and closure semantics you can choose how the variables are captured. When that isn't the case you need to pick for someone, and it gets weird.

Well, because a hidden camera can observe a human typing their password, whereas a password manager does not need to press any physical keys.

However, a camera can observe a human typing a master password into their password manager, which is where I was originally going with the question.

> Spain is perfect for this because it's mostly countryside

Every time there is free real estate, “let’s use it for terraforming.”

No. Let’s admit we are overpopulated and return more land to nature, before nature and wars do it naturally. It’s not because Spain is a half desert of sand that it’s not important for the Earth.

I live in France and I’m appalled that our ideology is both to be a welcome land for immigrants and “The young generation doesn’t have housing, let’s densify habitat and make fields constructible! It’s a human right!”

It’s a human right in direct contradiction with our kids’ human rights.
Whenever I get stuck, I will start chipping away at technical debt. This is usually simple refactoring work, cleaning up features or fixing bugs that result in a cleaner system. If I do this enough, things seem to magically get unstuck.

It’s a little like cleaning out a clogged drain. You start pulling out muck until the water starts to flow, and it will eventually start to flow on its own. Then you can jump back in the flow.

Refactoring your code until it is “perfect” is a good exercise. When I was starting out, I would refactor endlessly. That took a lot of time, but eventually I started writing code that didn’t need to be refactored immediately.
Right, but Vanta is known for having a relationship with the auditors they use that is cozier than it is between SecureFrame or Drata and their auditors. This combined with the fact that they call out Vanta in their own blog post makes the whole thing even sketchier... almost like Vanta hooked them up with a rubber stamp AND almost like they don't even realize themselves that Vanta doesn't do the audit, which is CRAZY
This is one of my two favorite books in The Little <X>er series. The other is The Reasoned Schemer.

The Little Typer provides an introduction to dependent types. These can by used to guarantee things like "applying 'concat' to a list of length X and list of length Y returns a list of X+Y". It is also possible, to some extent, to use dependent types to replace proof tools like Coq. Two interesting languages using dependent types are:

- Idris. This is basically "Haskell plus dependent types (and minus lazy evaluation)": https://www.idris-lang.org/

- ATS. This is a complex systems-level language with dependent types: http://www.ats-lang.org/ This fills a niche (vaguely) similar to Rust and Ada Spark, with a focus on speed and safety.

The Reasoned Schemer shows how to build a Prolog-like logic language as a Scheme library. This is a very good introduction to logic programming. And the implementation of backtracking and unification is fascinating. (Unification is a powerful technique that shows up in other places, including type checkers.)

This is an excellent series overall, but these two books are especially good for people who are interested in unusual programming language designs. I don't expect dependent types or logic programming to become widely-used in the next couple generations of mainstream languages, but they're still fascinating.
