I think it’s because SPN uses a different IP/node per connection you make. DNS leak detection tests will ask your browser to resolve unique subdomains. If the DNS server that requests the lookup is different from your connecting IP to the website, they will say you have a DNS leak.

Just like every other technological advance, there is a sort of "food chain" that builds on top of these foundational technologies. You didn't have to work in cryptography to play a role in the massive proliferation of online commerce and banking. There were and are many, many conventional tasks and non-PhD-making innovations between cryptography existing and the wonderful low-friction commerce we now enjoy.

JSON is often interpreted as dictionary but is serialized as key-value pairs, for JSON itself this is not a big problem as everybody agrees not to produce JSON documents like {"a":1,"b":2,"a":3} so most people do not care about how their parser reads them.

In cases like URL queries or HTTP headers it is not such a clear cut. There it is common both to use duplicated keys and to use JSON-like dictionaries to read them.

Personally I never had bugs due to this: PHP does the "right" thing with duplicated keys and I never encountered it in node, but it bugs me that we use this kind of lossy[0] representations.

[0] in JS in particular the object are not really adequate to be used as dictionaries, inheritance and predefined keys aside there are also special magical attributes that behave in special ways Object.getPrototypeOf(Object.assign({}, JSON.parse('{"__proto__":null}')))===null;

Poll: Taking Payments On-Line
There are several ways to take payments, some are well-known, some are less well-known but objectively better ... it's difficult. People tend to use something if they've heard of it before.

So if you were to set up a system for regular payments and one-off donations for a wider general public ... which would you use?

If it's really a matter of "polish" then the more reasonable approach would be to simply put up a warning while otherwise allowing full access to the application. If it's buggy, then it's buggy; oh well, at least we were warned.

If it's more a matter of some specific thing(s) that Chrome has implemented and other browsers haven't, then it'd be nice to be upfront about what that thing is so that those of us on non-Chrome browsers can bug e.g. Mozilla and Apple about it - and it would further be nice to actually test against the existence of that thing rather than gatekeeping the user agent string like it's 1999.

Assuming the current version of Quantum Mechanics is correct, no. Given that we know QM is not compatible with General Relativity, which means one or both of them must be wrong, we could potentially discover some limitation of QM while investigating this.

Ironically, if that were to happen, it would probably be a much more important boon for humanity than if we successfully build a working QC.
The code is different in the sense that good abstractions and function definitions, when not used in excess, will severely cut down the amount of lines. However, given the same amount of time and not a lot of time spent on thinking about abstractions, odds are they will end up with fairly similar LoC counts. Just developer A will have written more features, whereas developer B will have done the same thing over and over, without having the same features.

That's where your example of writers should take hold too: good writers stop being paid by the word and start being paid by number of sales. The same should be done with devs.

That said, the entire thing gets tossed out of the window when considering significant portions of developers will overthink abstractions, fiercely hold onto overabstractions (which end up bloating LoC), have discussions with each other ad nauseam, slow down code reviews over petty differences, and more.

Maybe that was once true but it hasn't been. Here's a deafblind user of Twitter (the iPhone app) who had immediate trouble using the main Mastodon app [0].

Twitter only formed an accessibility team in 2020. Accessibility improvements had been made over the years before then but since the team was formed, improvements have been arriving much more steadily. Since Musk didn't only fire this team but half the staff overall, Twitter has not only lost expertise but people with the time to devote to these areas.

Yes yes, indeed. The ability to look at what's happening step by step really hamstrings my imagination. Sorry, no. A debugger is a microscope! It will help you find problems faster and will seed your imagination by filling in what is really going on. It's an augmentation, like any tool. Or do you prefer to stare into space blindfolded?
The main application of quantum computing is Cunningham’s Law. Any time someone shows something is faster on a quantum computer, then you know it’s worth spending some time proving that actually the classical algorithms could have been faster in the first place.

In any industry, designing things for specialized tools (cranes, forklifts) is typically much easier than designing a universal tool to handle everything. (exoskeletons). They have some niche uses like prolonged work with the arms raised, though.

In military, passive exoskeletons are more useful than powered ones. They are just fancy springs to rebalance and lighten the load on soldiers.

For medical purposes, exoskeletons are used for thousands of years. They are probably not what you'd call an exoskeleton, though. A basic example is a splint.

On multiple measures Clojure is the most used Lisp, while also being the youngest, which I think speak a lot to the adoption benefits of being on the JVM and on JS.

Maybe it'll bite it long term, hard to say, but it definitely allowed it to quickly catch up to CL and Scheme and pass them in popularity and adoption.

These hypocrites only block websites if they get some cheap PR, in reality they give a shit offering their services to criminals.
The lesson here is an idea, no matter how implausible, can have legs as long as people want it to be true. That particular idea here is FTL travel (or communication).

Nearly all of these ideas spring from a basic inability to understand the domain of a function. The domain is the set of values for which the function is defined. Any other values are undefined f(x) = 1/x for example has a domain of anything but 0.

So what happens is that people plug negative values into quantities like mass without any basis for what negative mass is and then use that as a basis for [insert FTL system here]. Why stop there? Why not use imaginary masses?

There is no negative mass. There is no negative energy. The domain of velocity is [0,c].

Even if you ignore that, no one goes far enough to calculate the energy requirements of, for example, "folding space" or creating a wormhole. If you do the math, it turns out you need to convert a significant portion of a stellar mass into energy.

> Every drone competes favourably with Chinook on cost.

Technically the space shuttle had limited autopilot capabilities so you could see it as a drone carrying humans, one of which happens to be a pilot who will control it at other times, but that's just a coincidence. And it was way expensive. You fool, you absolute fool.

And anyway, what is a fly-by-wire system, but a drone that is piloted remotely... for very small definitions of "remote."

I dunno. I don't think there's any productive discussion possible with people who are (for some reason) willing to ignore context and widen your claims so you can be wrong.
> Did you make the arguments in good faith and in a manner inviting productive discourse, or did you mock and name-call?

I specifically joined Mastodon to escape that and to try and see what the other side is really about. There are two broad categories of 'rightists' on Mastodon - the ones who are just looking to be provocative and then there are the ones who present themselves as more serious.

The first camp are non-serious trolls seeking to enrage, so I did not engage with them. The 'serious' ones are generally posting all kinds of things incl. toots I sometimes like and agree with and so I follow some of these accounts.

The problem with the second category is that when it comes to political discussions they tend to retreat to the same level of discourse as the trolls often. For example say a discussion turns to Jeremy Corbyn; they'll refuse to look at/read anything that suggests against him being what they believe him being, (some kind of CCP agent/extremist sympathizer/left of Mao communist that would've crashed the UK economy, ironic as that may sound atm).

Everything suggesting otherwise is some kind of a leftist rag apparently, but baseless accusation pieces confirming their bias I should take as authoritative.

Not seeing a contradiction between cheering the firing of a left-leaning professor and supposedly being pro free speech or endorsing someone who is for banning BDS as being pro free speech.

It also tends to happen that if I do admit some of their points as valid, they tend to take it as some sort of a big win and basically present it as a complete win for their argument, ignoring the points I countered them on completely. Everything seems to be a contest to own me and this is with people who outside of politics seem to be posting about tech, music or whatever.

It's extremely hard for me to find any right-leaning person on there who wants to find things we agree on, exchange civil views on things we don't and basically reach out in good faith. I know people like that are out there, but it doesn't seem to me like they number many, not on Mastodon for sure.
I've actually pushed rubidium ions around in UQ's setup, and a bunch of us had a tour and Q&A with the founder. It's incredibly detailed stuff (insane optical tables, and weeks tracking down a stray hair that was contanimating the high vacuum system). I'm still on the sceptical side, but some of the tricks they use to move things with atomic-level precision make it hard to imagine there won't be something useful coming out of it.

Whether it will ever justify the investment is, of course, another question.

Criticality Accident
I remember trying out Portmaster on Windows earlier this year. I think Portmaster was running a local DNS server to see what connections were being made. This interfered with my VPN, Mullvad, which was trying to use a remote DNS server.

Does Portmaster still require a local DNS server? I’ve been an avid user of Glasswire for years and it works flawlessly with my VPN. But i would love to switch to a open source alternative.
edit - I’ll just not engage in the inanity of sniping at subjective definitions; my point about the site remains.
It's normal to pay for Spotify and Hulu because you get access to stream copyrighted materials monthly for a small fee. It would not be normal to pay for those services just to get a blue checkmark on your profile.
You may need to change your username. The debt is assumed by Twitter and it is liable for $1bn a year in interest payments:

There was no accessibility team before 2020, Twitter hired real accessibility experts to be on the team, and they have been responsible for a number of accessibility improvements.
no. a type is a description of a set of values and its associated operations. Types impose global meaning on entities in your program. When something belongs to a certain type receivers of arguments of that type lose control over how to interpret them. Thus types introduce coupling.

Names are just labels attached to an entity for the purpose of identification and readability, they don't impose meaning.
Nice work!

Here's some good background: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/01/opinion/elon-musk-twitter... (archive: https://archive.ph/IZp4P)

Elon himself said that Twitter "cannot become a free-for-all hellscape", and so advertisers want to understand exactly what the plan is to avoid that given that (for example) Elon laid off 75% of the moderation team.

Pre-Elon, leadership spent lots of cycles building trust and confidence with advertisers, involving them in policy discussions, etc. That is not only no longer happening, but it appears that Elon is blocking people who are asking tough questions.

For anyone confused about motivations, this isn't about "wokeism" but is straight capitalism. In the same way that airlines don't want their ads to be placed next to coverage of an air disaster, advertisers and agencies need assurances that Twitter isn't on the road to becoming a cesspool, and that their brand/ads won't appear near harmful content.

Blue has been unavailable in all EU countries since the beginning.
Great question! It really depends. If I'm working with a part I haven't ever worked with before, I'll often make a minimal breakout board that I can talk to with a devboard like an Arduino or Feather.

If I'm pretty familiar with everything, I generally dive into a rough PCB layout and debug from there. If I absolutely can't get anything to work, I'll go back to the drawing board and possibly do some little breakouts, for example: https://twitter.com/theavalkyrie/status/1457845661370568709

Edit: for this specific project I did make breakouts for testing the MOSFETs and solenoid drivers. I'm glad I did, since I was able to try out a couple of different options for each: https://twitter.com/theavalkyrie/status/1550878465876004865

Of course it doesn't? Who cares. I deleted my account too but that doesn't mean much.

I'm highly skeptical this outrage cycle will go on for long enough to seriously impact their userbase. Absent a proper competitor to Twitter. I've been part of enough internet boycotts of them to be cynical about their odds.

Also I'm not sure why you're having trouble finding Facebook data... just google it if you care so much about dismissing their obvious dominance. And WSJ paywall is easily bypassable.

Of all the choices[1], I’ve always been partial to the ISO 9 / GOST approach with Czech/Slovak-style diacritics (either version), even though those same diacritics make it impractical in most ASCII contexts. Just now I went to check the table and learned it actually prescribes ë for ‹ё›. Huh.

The Nreal Air looks cool, but it only offers a 46 degree FoV[1]. That's less than half the FOV of the Quest 2, which makes it hard to see all of your windows/workspace. (To be fair: the tradeoff is excellent PPD within its narrow FOV).

Really this should be orthogonal to a verification check, IMHO.

Blue check: Enough people are interested in pretending to be me that Twitter has verified this account as being mine. I get a few perks related to managing the immense torrent of bullshit that this level of fame sends my way.

Green star: I like Twitter enough to pay a few bucks to do my part to help keep the servers running, and to pay the programmers and moderators to do their job. I get a few perks like multiple/animated user icons, longer post lengths, and the ability to post offsite links without Twitter's algorithm hiding them.

Got a blue check? Great! You're someone famous! Got a green star? Great! You're helping to keep the site running! Got a blue check AND a green star? Super awesome, you're someone famous who's also helping to keep the site running!

But this does require turning Twitter into a place people are enjoying going to before anyone likes it enough to pay a few bucks, and well, good luck with that, mister "I'm going to eliminate all censorship on Twitter and let Trump back on".
verified account tweets get amplified so you are paying for that,
