My credit card had a fraud block put on it because I tried to make a large payment while out of the country (Thanks for nothing Capital One). Even after they accepted the payment a few days later I still had to jump through many hoops to get the card unblocked.
I now think 3 credit cards plus a bunch of cash is the minimum when traveling out of the country.

There is suspicion (I don't think it is proven out yet) that the chip shortage will turn into a surplus.

It takes time to ramp up factories and build the chips, and that is what is being now to clear the backlog.

But once the backlog is cleared, what happens then? They are building chips, potentially unsure if the demand will be there.

For us, it was impossible to get HR sensors a few months ago, now there is no limit to supply, but prices are still very high - I assume that is because suppliers over-paid when supply was short.
Seems to be the same with my crowd. The only people who messages me over text is my dad and distant relatives. But I haven't tried to push Signal on them. While I do understand the "need" here, I do think it is easier to push on Gen Xers and younger as they are far more comfortable with multiple messaging apps (and I don't know of one that doesn't have multiple. Minimum SMS + WA, but usually includes GroupMe, Telegram, and Facebook Messenger). I know this is an issue people are pretty vocal about but I'm having a hard time believing it just isn't a sampling bias.
Thank you Paul, the story of Ardour is really inspiring. Have you looked into potentially porting it to WASM and running in the browser? Is there a Figma for audio already?

Sorry, are you saying that keeping the nuclear reactors online will increase gas use by 1-2%?
I found it interesting and have conflicted feelings about it. I’m curious to hear about other people’s experiences and interpretations.

It’s an actively unfolding event affecting thousands of people and GitHub consistently returns a server error for the author’s profile page.
I'm generally a proponent of "why not both?" when it comes to types and unit tests. At least with our codebase (nextjs, typescript strict mode, eslint), there is still a ton of room for improvement.
They estimate about 1-2% in gas savings, due to the fact that nuclear is base load and gas plants are used mostly for grid compensation. If the gas storages were empty, and the LNG-terminals weren't about to go online, I would like to see the nuclear plants be kept online. Right now, I'd rather they would invest that money in the future.

> 1) Robust system design involves identifying the parts of your system that are mission-critical and always monitoring them. NASA missions have great automation and a 24/7-staffed mission control.

You should alert on critical parts but you should monitor anything and everything you can. It might be critical in finding out why system broke later on. Easier said than done for hardware but easy for software
Agreed - I think MERGE is great, but this post is missing the "Why not" part of the analysis.

In the Postgres community, MERGE has been talked about for a long time, but in my understanding, part of the reason why the Postgres team initially shipped INSERT ... ON CONFLICT (instead of straight up MERGE) is that it lets you have guarantees about the outcome of the statement (i.e. either INSERT or UPDATE, by use of speculative insertion handling), vs MERGE can cause unique constraint violations and other issues.

AFAIK, the generic syntax of MERGE does not allow for stricter guarantees, and therefore there will always be cases where one is better than the other.
The article seems editorialized? It's a bioarxiv preprint! It's the study authors' own words that you're saying are "spreading panic".

So, eartchquakes and tsunamis were a new developement in japan. The engineers had never a chance to study them and develope methods to mitigate risks for nuclear plants?

> Run the numbers, time tracking throughout the day, on how you're going to run an entire grid on nuclear. Calculate how much storage you need in order to convert baseload into something that matches demand.

Very tiny amounts are needed. It's pretty straightforward to make reactors that can ramp along with daily power use.
Honestly, as a former government contractor at a couple different places, this is pretty good bang for the buck. The planning meetings alone were probably $12m.

One way to get it fixed quickly is to drop the exploit publicly with a basic PoC. You've tried a responsible path and it's wasted your time.

There aren't laws mandating "responsible disclosure". It's a professional courtesy.

The irresponsible party is the entity operating the service without a security@ email address. Lots of bad actors could easily find this vulnerability independently (probably already have). This means all the service's users are continually at risk right now, every second of every day as long as this doesn't get resolved
Just this year, Canada invoked its federal emergencies act against protesters who were revolting against a mobile app that was being used as a vaccine passport. It is still required for some travel, but since it only impacts a minority of the population who don't work in media, it's not part of the popular discourse. The irony is that the public inquiry launched in response is only into the use of the act against protesters, and not into the abuses that led to it.

Advice for an older software developer looking for a change
My father is nearly 70. He works as a Cloud DevOps engineer for a large hospital. He seems really troubled with his current job, especially the fact that the people he work with don't value good engineering (my interpretation). He wants to move to a more tech/engineering driven company, but obviously with his age this is tough. He always talks about how he wants to move to a better job, but then says there's no point at his age. I do think he's a really competent engineer (I say this as, I think, a fairly competent software engineer myself, currently working at a major-ish tech company), and so I'd like to see him work somewhere he can thrive but worry it might be too late. Any advice on this?

Edit: Don't mean to be cynical, but as a potential plus, he does look quite young for his age (I'd say a solid 10-15 years)
They aren't doing it because it's useful. They are doing it because it's easy and they take what they can get. Further, it's not farfetched to imagine that models that can understand and predict how objects and faces move is a stepping stone to more useful stuff.
I rarely understand what his actual position is (outside of contrarianism). In this specific case it's a bigoted thing to say, regardless of whether this is a legitimate threat. Worth banning? I don't know, I don't set rules or own Twitter. A valuable contribution to an open society? Don't think so.

If he is "criticizing" Jewish people (which does not sound like it to me) - do you think it's not an antisemitic thing to do? (To pre-empt your counter-argument... yes, criticizing all white people is also racism/bigotry.) Treating a race, a nation, all followers of a religion, etc as a uniform group that can be subjected to some "criticism" is not an idea that's valuable to an open society. Saying that, I don't think people should be immediately banned for posts like that.

If you think we need a "free speech" app filled with these "valuable" ideas - that's fine, just don't expect that it will be a space for discussing opposing views. Places like that always end up on either extreme right or extreme left.

Well, if you can no longer pay for something that you used to be able to pay for with coins, you've lost something with a smartphone requirement.

Otherwise I get your argument but, if instead of smartphone, you say computer--now say that you don't really need a computer. You can phone people on your landline but many people won't pick up. OK, you can't use Amazon but there are local stores you can get to. And so forth. At some point, it's probably not like you'll starve but you're cut off from a lot of modern interaction.

The other thing about this transaction is that it, like all crypto, ends up being inflationary if they are able to be used as currency and don't end up collapsing. IE, there's $100 worth of currency in the system. Everyone gives it to Stablecoin Co. and they get $100 worth of stablecoins. Then Stablecoin Co. invests the money back into the system. Now there's $200 worth of currency in the system, leading to inflation.

What's weird is that crypto folks often complain about people printing money and causing inflation. But that's the whole crypto ecosystem. If something can be used as currency, it doesn't matter if the U.S. government is printing one dollar and handing it to somebody so that they can buy goods or if a crypto project is printing one NotDollar that has the same amount of worth and can be used to buy the same amount of things.
We're talking about highly toxic soil here. Soil doesn't stay where it is, it moves with water and wind. You have to fix it, somehow. Just putting a bit of warning tape around it doesn't cut it.

This isn't a theoretical point, either, wild mushrooms are still unsafe to eat in some parts of central Europe, almost four decades after Tchernobyl.

The whole Fukushima disaster is another lesson in the prevention paradox. We see low death and disease numbers, and somehow many people think that's because the disaster wasn't that bad after all, completely ignoring the literal tens of billions of dollars that the Japanese government and TEPCO expended to keep them that low.

I was hoping this was somehow mapped in real-time to follow movements of ocean life. Is there any efforts to doing so, if it's even a reasonable endeavour?

I personally think it'd be a worthwhile thing to do - but maybe will take such a massive amount of resources that we'll have to solve more pressing issues and stabilize society first before we'll - with precision - manage the ocean as a food source?
Certainly, I was just pointing out that that's the very problem with the position that someone or some group shouldn't be morally judged for things they do/cause while having good intentions. It's a tough problem, and I guess we're mostly basing our judgement on results. Push through a stupid policy and it's expensive but nobody freezes and you'll be forgotten. Do the same and be unlucky and a million citizens freeze because of it and you won't be forgiven.

What exactly is the difference, again? A block button is prone to breaking thru numerical power. If enough people are responding to you and or harassing you there is no manageable way to block all of them, especially without first passively engaging with their posts in the first place.

So instead people build addons and blocklists to manage all of that for them. Now you have a separate centralized platform for dealing with a certain subset of users.

And if that doesn't work or if they don't want to put in that effort they just leave the platform instead. They go to somewhere else where the social agreement with the platform is to automatically filter out or remove those users. Hence why few people actually use the free speech platforms like Gab, Parker etc.

From my own experience I would guess they know their orientation at all times.

In Guadalajara, Mexico, where I live. I've seen it first hand. People of certain age that lived near the center of the city use an absolute system for navigating the city, and to give directions on how to get to places with phrases like "up the river", "down the river", of an old river no longer existent that used to pass through the center of the city. And they always know which way goes to the center of the city, even when going outside the city center and to unknown neighborhoods. My father is one of such people.
I really like the way that you have phrased this here. This analogy is succinct and helpful. Thank you!
If the unique value is secret, yes.

Otherwise there is no need to store a table of values.

If a home type PC is used for a year, there will be a finite amount of randomness used from the HW generator in total. Probably under a terabyte I would guess. Maybe under a gigabyte.

If you are doing something like looking for an encryption key, you know it's somewhere in that terabyte, which you can generate too, then put every possible block through your hash, and try it.

You don't even need to store anything, you can just generate them since they're deterministic. And if the backdoor is based on a block cipher in in counter mode or something like that, you can do it all in parallel on FPGAs in seconds if you're a billionaire.

What should make people more comfortable
that Germany will be able to safeguard
against their known risks?

The safety of nuclear power plants isn't exactly some great unknown.

There are ~450 plants currently operating in the world, with an average age of multiple decades. Plus all the ones that have been retired. That's a lot of data.

You don't really have to take anybody's word for it. They're safe.

They are not zero-risk, because literally nothing is. We also absolutely know the risks of fossil fuels (the planet is burning, and buyers potentially become dependent on hostile countries like Russia) and the current limitations of renewable energy sources.

So, to answer your questions: that is how you judge their potential safety in Germany or anywhere else.

A senior developer in my book is someone with both leadership skills and the experience to back that up. Most of your work is enabling other developers with a bit of actual dev work sprinkled in.

You're still chiefly a problem solver like any dev, but your problems now are more than code. Hence, your toolset expands to implementing new processes, talking with non-devs, creating PoCs, teaching, and more.

Here's a roadmap I made to help out:

>"But I can send you some mushrooms from the forests of southern Germany if you would like to explore the health risks further."

Sounds like the GP would receive mushrooms that have elevated levels of radionuclides that are within the legal limit of what is considered safe to consume.

"Around 95% of wild mushroom samples collected in Germany in the last six years still showed radioactive contamination from the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, albeit not above legal limits, the German food safety regulator said on Friday."

> I still don't want their existence in the public sphere to limit my expression. They're not that important and we shouldn't make them out to be.

See this is the key thing and a conflict I pretty much expect and accept. I think they are important, on the metric of their body count over the last century. I'm willing to accept some limitations to public speech, both mine and yours, to reduce their power and risk in the future.

You don't accept that tradeoff, which I find a consistent and reasonable position that I also oppose. But your first comment did imply that it was the only valid position for reasonable people to have ("better stewards of their beliefs"). You may not have intended that meaning but it's the one I read.
