Language documentation is for looking up nitty-gritty details. You go there if you already know what you're looking for. It works for some languages and for some people, but reading it from top to bottom is usually a horrible way to learn a programming language.

Yup, I think that's the real worry of CCP officials and other world leaders, that not only will China lose face, lose influence, but also the world will demand reperation. That might cause a collapse of the already unstable Chinese system with ripple effects all over the world.
these guys are desert tanks - often sold as adorable babies to buyers who don't realise they live up to 120 years (therefore generational pet) and can get up to 150lbs in weight. They are the third largest land species of tortoise, behind only the Aldabra and Galapagos.

This is the flow:

- parent creates a child account and has to provide the child phone number

- we create a child account and sms via Twilio with a token to the child to complete sign up

- the child uses the token (via a deep link) received via sms and claim their account

There is no "mass invitation" feature.
I agree with you both. This is why I decided to switch and master Emacs, and I've been diving deep into Lisp and other languages with a REPL like Erlang and Elixir. The quick iteration cycle requires little upfront investment in focus, and it's immediately rewarding to keep you in focus and enter a state of flow.

Based on what exactly? Like, how do you imagine a successor would appear while the US devastates Russian army and how would they "have less face to lose" when their military is devastated?

It is unlikely that anyone will be replacing Putin in the heat of battle, and its hard to imagine a "less face to loose" situation - it's not like it's for one person to decide and Russian politics doesn't work that way either - there is no tradition to reset politics every few years with a new talking head. No idea how mr "Less face to lose" would be able to do something like that without starting a civil war.
In many phone brands using the PICK_CONTACT intent still requires the READ_CONTACTS permission, which allows to read all contacts. There is also an issue opened for this [1]

How much time did you put it your “abstract tokens” idea? Was it just something you came up with as you wrote your comment? You’re presenting it as “it’s possible to do this and here’s how” but I’m not really aware of any systems that do this in a practical manner. Out-of-process rendering is definitely a thing it’s not nearly as simple as “just render all sensitive content away from the app and this will solve all problems!”

Exactly this. I'm completely stunned how everybody seems to be ignoring the fact that the closest relatives of the Covid virus are in Yunnan, which is 1500 km away from Wuhan, or even further, in Laos. So a zoonotic origin of the outbreak which started in the Wuhan market would have involved animals transported to the market over 1500km or more. Doesn't anybody ask themselves, why Wuhan? Why was there no outbreak in any other city in China that was closer to Yunnan? Or even some in some market in Yunnan itself?

This is spot on.

There is no open RSS/XML/API feed you can subscribe to from each country to get an update of their accounting rules. You have to constantly monitor all news from all over the world. This is labor intensive. The only solution is a network of local tax specialists. Like the big-4 accounting firms have.

Not to channel the usual Hacker News acid at you but have you considered the optics of “we are using code that requests fairly broad permissions because we couldn’t be bothered to invest in doing a better job that didn’t have to do this”?

Anyway for cars part of the problem originated when with covid they cancelled all orders and the assembly lines for their stuff got converted.

Google is a vast, schizophrenic organization. They're big enough that they have different teams and internal politics fighting each other all the time.

VS Code with Foam for notes. I plan out my day by hour (sometimes more granular) and make each of those items a todo item so that I'm checking something off at least once an hour. It also helps remind me what to move on to next. I recently incorporated a checklist for starting and ending the day. It's nice because then I don't spend mental energy thinking about how to prepare and shutdown, I just follow a well thought out pattern. The ritual of it helps my brain transition in and out of work.

They don't mention anything on their website, but I guess - from looking at their machine - that they use an x-ray source which goes to the range of 150kV, since they also show larger items with more metal volume being scanned.

GitHub does a pretty good job requiring oauth or ssh key authentication, and the new finely-grained personal access are awesome, I just switched all my apps to use more locked down PATs.

The far you reach from GitHub's ecosystem, that's where most of the vulnerabilities are.

Repo-specific deploy keys, read-only keys and branch protection are my "pro" security hardening steps.

Shoving all secrets in ENV isn't a clear improvement either. Sure, most CI services attempt to mask them, but it's trivially to extract the secrets. For GitHub, you have to approve incoming first-time PRs, but it's a huge vector someone determined can exploit.

Well, models will be taken down anyway (at least attempted), save whatever you can put hands on. It is happening, govt is just catching up with this rapid situation:

I do not agree. We were explicitly asking for permission to access the contact list, the user was granting it and the user also had the option not to grant it and still use the app by manually entering the phone number.

What happened is that Google blocked our updates claiming we were doing something we were not doing, and even if we did access the entire phone book, the users agreed to it explicitly.

Another issue is that we would have been fine sharing a single contact with the PICK_CONTACT intent, however there's a bug open in Android since 2018 that causes developers to have to ask for the full READ_CONTACTS permission even just to pick a single contact[1].

So in our case Google did not respect the user choice, claimed we were using user data in a way we were not (without any proof whatsoever), still rejected the update even when we added what they asked us to add to our Privacy Policy and in the end they also don't even fix bugs in the Android codebase to allow developers to use more privacy-friendly APIs in their OS.

NYC, absolutely. When I lived near NYC I would drive in, park the car in a garage for the whole weekend and never had any need or desire to use it.

SF, not really. Public transport is too fragmented and limited. Most of the time there's no convenient way from point A to B other than to go get the car and re-park elsewhere nearby.

Vienna changed their freestanding restroom design a decade ago. It is all stainless steel now, they can clean it with a pressure hose, you can’t pee all over the seat. They are all the same and it is the first public toilet I don’t loathe to use. Obviously in my closest park the architect designed something of aesthetic merit and it is always broken. Operational concerns, basically cleanliness, trump everything with public toilets.

The building codes are weak as paper. When you build hurricane proof housing your biggest problem will be that all your neighbors laugh at your house or call it ugly and report it as not fitting in with the neighborhood because it isn't one of those classic American houses that get immediately destroyed by hurricanes.

Also there is a great risk of hurricane unproofed homes smashing into your hurricane proof house.
You're right. Parliament represents only the entire electorate. And only really those opinions that are shared by enough people to be worth an entire seat. Still, it's far better representation than you get in a district system, where only local majorities of the electorate in each district are represented.

Really interesting, I wasn't considering Eastern Europe. The article does a great job talking about a lot of the considerations, but I have a gut feeling that operating from a country where I'm not very familiar with their language and political stability will be harder in the long term.

Its a good point on the trademarks and all the legal stuff, thanks.
Incentives not being present and the company being unable to act on those incentives are very different things. Intel is incentivized to beat Apple, AMD chip performance. That they’re failing to deliver right now doesn’t mean the incentives aren’t present or that they don’t care.
I've lived in a community where none of us lock our doors, bikes in the porch or driveway, and nothing gets stolen. That said, every city I've lived in, I've kept my doors locked and my belongings inside. I'm not sure what's wrong with our society that we feel like we need to take every precaution possible to avoid theft.

The seven day week and the connection to planets came from Babylon or Egypt, way back. And then via the Greek and so on. The Romans weren't actually the quickest to adopt it, they had an 8-day week (possibly from the Etruscans), which had to fight with the (also known) 7-day week. It's unclear when the 8-days week completely fell out of favour, but the 7-day week didn't become official until AD 321 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-day_week)

In any case, the 7-day week spread, and much farther than just to the north of Europe. China apparently imported the Hellenistic system as far back as the 4th century (wikipedia), and Japan got it four centuries later (but wasn't made official until 1876. The week day names matches the Latin ones, with Monday as "moon day" and so on).
You seem to think a natural origin virus can't be A) examined in a lab, and leaked; B) cultured in a lab, and leaked; C) tweaked in a lab, and leaked.

All three of these are possible. And all are compatible with your Occam's razor (and mine).

My bet is with option C.

Lab leak of a natural-origin, but tweaked, virus.

Yes, it can be both natural origin and tweaked. When you tweak something, you have to start with a something, and that something can have a natural origin.

The evidence against the lab leak appears cooked up based on data provided by interested authorities in China, and was assembled and presented by compromised people (people in the field with an active interest in protecting their own field) who actively promoted the false claim that they had no conflict of interest.
I mean this could also just be a list of how honest particular police departments are at reporting (or classifying) property crime. Not necessarily the actual rates.
It's strange to see what is in essence a handful of book reviews turned into an article with such a contentious title. Little of the article is actually about whether the CIA does more harm than good, and they don't even try to draw a conclusion on the matter.

One of the lines from the original meme is "I want to get off Mr. Bones' wild ride.", but "Mr. Bones says: The ride never ends!" also features which the parent comment is probably referring to.

If you're going to confidently state someone is misquoting something you should probably make sure they are quoting what you think they are quoting.
You're optimistic, which is commendable, but unfortunately a naive implementation would probably just read it all. I probably would, because the happy path doesn't deal with 4 GB inputs.
> The vulnerable code was released in January 2011, so it took well over a decade for this vulnerability to be found.

It would have already been a big deal for the past five years, if anything.

Furthermore you have to induce a bufferoverflow first. I’m no security researcher, but to my mind that means you’re either (a) trusting idiots to write sensitive code without a IT Sec team reviewing it, or (b) you’ve got a malicious actor on the inside, who can slip it past review. I’m sure there are plenty of other scenarios, but I’m saying it doesn’t feel likely by gut.
Yeah. I have a couple servers I could maybe run something on. I guess I don’t really know how to serve a link where I could make an HTTP request. I run servers with discourse and other applications but I never manually serve something.

I suppose this is simple enough and I should look that up. What is it called on the server side when you make a URL available for receiving HTTP requests? I realize I’m not sure what to research exactly.

EDIT: wait a minute, actually I’ve used flask before with python. I guess I just need to figure out how to run flask on my web server, maybe on a sub domain, without interfering with the discourse instance that’s already there. Hmmm.
What do you think "gain of function" research is even doing? Starting with natural origin viruses, and tweaking them.
I did volunteer search and rescue for a bit and people were split on weather dogs were even useful in that context either. Some people thought they were indispensable and some thought they were useless.

Treating Hyrum's Law as something to pay attention to when improving software is a grave error.

There are good reasons to change undocumented behaviors with each release just to discourage dependence on them. E.g., change hash functions. People will squawk, but will be better off.

Probably the best thing is to throw exceptions from functions that used to not. People who imagine that having searched the whole call tree one time means anything deserve to be surprised. Cleanup code should always be in destructors where it will be exercised properly on every run.
Yes, pretty incredible considering most of iPad's limitations are artificially imposed by the OS. If Apple would just allow it to be used as a general purpose PC, something they heavily market it as anyway, or gave us the ability to install macOS on it, we probably would've seen announcements like this sooner. The iPad hardware is quite capable, but it's a shame that it's restricted by the OS.
