IndieAuth[1] is a slick DNS-based approach. Maybe offering that as a service would be a nice alternative. I point my DNS to you, and you handle authentication for everything that uses IndieAuth. If you go away or I don't like what you're doing then I can point my DNS to someone else offering that service and I retain the same DNS identity, and ability to use it to login anywhere I've set it up as my identity.

IndieAuth.com[2] sort of does this already, but it delegates to a "social" login (Facebook/Twitter/Github/Google/etc).

I haven't stayed up to date, but last benchmarks I saw, truffleruby was not just faster than any other implementation, it was significantly so in many cases. It would be interesting to see if the results hold up in larger scale real world usage.

The whole point of index funds is that individual decisions - no matter how well reasoned they appear - don't seem to work out long term. The decision protocol that looks good today and may have worked once, twice of five times in the past will eventually lead to a ruinous decision later on that wipes out all the prior gains.

If the logic you describe works for one company why wouldn't it work for two, or five or ten out of SP500?

Heck if you can indeed pick any winner even by just a 2-3% gain than the passive index, why wouldn't you better off by building a fully custom curated SP500 that contains companies that are more likely to succeed? That 3% adds up to massively more money long term.

The whole point of active trading is exactly that, a thinking logical human being, adding all their intellect ought to be more successful than passively doing nothing.

Yet history says otherwise. Even when faced with decades long evidences active traders still believe they can do better than passives.

Joking aside I think we are getting close, Photon did a lot to bridge with Windows in terms of gaming, GUI is often times at least on par with Windows/MacOS, if not better (obviously thats subjective), and reliability/performance has already been there for a while.

That being said, I still think theres more work to do, and arguably the hardest work is ahead.
Just checked, "Styr" (name of the shop in the game) is not a rot13 or any variation (different offset or reverse order) thereof of "Ikea".

From what they said it sounds like the issue was executing the same withdrawal request more than once, unrelated to the bitcoin confirmation window. The fraudulent withdrawals had to happen on the same second, not merely on the same hour.
This is baffling. It would be remarkably easy to memorize 12 words, then keep no active wallet anywhere. When you want to send coins, start up a desktop wallet, enter the 12 words, send some Bitcoin, then delete the wallet.
Steganography might've been interesting way to deal with it, make big QR code with credentials to 1M wallet and hide 1B wallet info as steganography in that picture
Believing that all software security problems would be solved if we got rid of C is a bigger disease than C itself. I work in a fairly large (for my country) financial institution and the problems we deal with on a day to day basis are so far removed from buffer overflows that it's not even funny.

We still have software running in excel macros that control web browsers via COM. C is nothing compared to the attack surface of that.
Yeah, look no further than the example of Kim Dotcom.
The problem with redefining instructions to now give defined results where before they were undefined is that software developers might start relying on that defined behaviour, but CPUs from other manufacturers and emulators might still give undefined behaviour. Of course, Intel might not care about that.

Once something has been declared undefined, there is a barrier to changing it to defined, just as much as changing it in the opposite direction.
Or the difference is as between wild-type Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA.
Live coding sessions are bullshit.

If you must have them implement something have them do it asynchronously on their own and then review it with them.

And don’t make it longer than you would if you were in person.

If you’re worried about plagiarism then have them record themselves doing it.
It's one of those bi-modal distributions, I imagine.

My housemate makes pasta nearly every night, so we decided to optimize the process. We found that bringing the water to boil in a borosilicate flask in the microwave, adding the pasta and then returning it to the microwave with a pyrex bowl of the sauce and meatballs was the fastest and most economical method. I think from start to finish it takes 9 minutes total, 7 to bring the water to a boil and another 2 to reheat the sauce and cook the pasta. Something like 150 watts of power usage in a 1kW microwave.
That's right, and I have taught that point to trainees. However, there is a subtlety and I am sharing it as penance for having taught incorrectly:

The FDA does allows blood donation by paid blood donors. The blood must be labeled as from paid donors, but it is legal.

The article says “All they had to do was become the owners of a patent assertion entity, and accept the "liabilities" that come along with that.”

Can you say more what this means? What were the risks these people were (I would guess unknowingly) accepting in return for their 5-10% if things went ‘well’?
the american pacific northwest had a summer that ran into mid-october, so the warmer than usual weather is not just in europe.
I'll skip the legal analysis and state with confidence that this game is morally in the right and Ikea and the systems supporting their claim are morally in the wrong.

So long as the game does not claim to be sponsored, supported or be acting in the name of Ikea, it should be allowed to do what it wants.
Also, "executives" don't sound like lower level
And it's like that for large parts of the winter every year in Delhi. When I was there in Jan/Feb 2019 I remember checking the AQI at night and it was always 450-600. When I got back and all my friends/co-workers in the bay were freaking out that year about wildfires and AQIs of 160 you realize you get desensitized to it. I just kept thinking back to Delhi and how 160 would have been a relief after sleeping in an old house in Hauz Khas with no air filtration.

Also, it's wild to take off from Delhi in an airplane with smoke that thick -- you go from grey, smokey, low visibility to a bright blue sun shining sky. You just look down and see an orb of smoke engulfing the city.

The post you're complaining about starts with "because everyone likes to use that LendingIterator example I would offer a bit non-trivial example." It sounds like they are already doing that.
The cost of betting wrong when you attack your own infrastructure is measured in rubles.

The cost of being wrong when you attack NATO infrastructure is measured in war, conventional or nuclear.

That's why Russia attacked Ukraine, but only postures and blusters when it comes to NATO.

There are red lines that you can't cross, and open conflict with a nuclear adversary is one of the latter.
Don't Sonos, Ultimate Ears, Echo, Google Home etc solve this problem pretty effectively? I know there was a bit of a patent war between them for a while, but don't they still have this feature?
Using/owning proceeds of a crime is a crime.
IT has disabled the feature for us, and quick googling didn't turn up any screen shots, so I can't see the prompt myself, but given how it is described it doesn't seem adequate to me. When software asks permission it needs to say what it is asking permission for. Something like: "This feature will send your slide contents to Microsoft's cloud servers to search for relevant design ideas. See our Privacy Policy for more information on how we protect your data". It doesn't need red flashing lights, but the user shouldn't have to dig around to determine what/why the program is asking confirmation.
You can figure this out by observing that S and T are sequential, but none of the letters in IKEA are.
if you don't know anything about how atmospheric CO2 scrubbers work i suggest reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_air_capture and some of its 45 references

the top of the article has a flow diagram of a lye-catalyzed version of the lime process i was describing, a chemistry that has been used in submarines, anesthesia, and scuba diving for about a century

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide_scrubber has a nice overview of the different process chemistries commonly used
Make fees means tested and scaled to income or wealth. Make fees scale according to a power law. There are numerous ways to level the playing field. We have only to improve upon the current system and cannot let perfect be the enemy of good.
Dummies don't take muscles or weight distribution into account. They're metal skeletons with rubber bodies over them.

This is one of those discrimination situations where the truth is actually the exact opposite of what is reported. The dummies tested are 4'11 95 pounds and 5'9" 171 pounds. If the extremes pass then it's likely everyone in between is fine. The people who aren't covered are those above 5'9" or 171 pounds which skews heavily male.

I (Canadian) spent three weeks in Delhi in 2011, and my lungs have never been the same. I’ve had asthma ever since.

India is a wonderful country, but the pollution really ruins it.
Agreed, people should not assume that the design of Rust is some sort of statement about how higher-level languages should operate. It's a very targeted design with specific goals. For instance, the fact that Rust eschews exceptions should not be interpreted as "exceptions are bad", but rather "we don't think exceptions are a fit for what we're trying to achieve in this one specific domain".
"We use MS products for our business because it provides enterprise level security"
I lived near Salt Lake City for a few years, and occasionally (being a city built in what is effectively a giant bowl) you'd see inversions there. It was insane. Warnings not to go outside if you don't have to, visibility absolutely enters the gutter, and it can last days or weeks.

Utah has pretty damn clean air normally as far as I can tell. I couldn't imagine how much worse it would be in Delhi. I really hope they can get their air cleaned up, but it's hard to get people to give a shit about something like that when they don't earn enough to even know if they'll eat every day.
I think the weight of defaults is easy to overlook. While the options are available and most things people fear can be disabled... it's reasonable to look at this and ask, "What don't we know about?"

This, in combination with the trend of less and less autonomy over our time, equipment, and purchasing.... I think it's perfectly valid to be loud about.
The guy didn't even use VPN? That's pretty amusing for a billionare thief.
How would you create a hierarchy without ranking? How would you create ranking without measurement? If it’s just biased ranking, there’s nothing to substantiate it and I can just refute it with my own contrived ranking.

That seems to just be a reduction to subjective relativism, which is often the last refuge of people who don’t know what they’re talking about but still want to feel smart. (Or, alternatively, hiding behind rhetorical gimmicks like the “no true Scotsman” fallacy). If they know what they were talking about, I would suspect they could define it. To paraphrase Feynman, if you can’t explain it to a first year student, you don’t really understand.
Washington D.C. isn't even on the list and Paris, London, Berlin, Sydney, and Tokyo aren't in the top 60. All of the top 25 are industrial, poor, poorly situated geographically, or some combo thereof.
I used a patent lawyer who said the patent had to be filed using a fax machine.

For those who are too young, a fax machine is this arcane device that used to be everywhere, like a remote photocopier.

Got the US patent dated 2013. Was the lawyer pulling my leg?

> women are much more likely than men to die or be seriously injured in a car crash

I don't think that's right, at least not as stated? Many more men die in car crashes than women: https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/...

Men tend to be in crashes that are more severe than women, though, probably because men are more likely to speed and drive drunk. If you try to look at crashes of equal severity (which is always a bit fraught since you don't have a real control group) then you do see something like what you're describing, though the NHTSA thinks this is mostly due to how robust men vs women are on average and not car design: http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/811766.PDF
>I'm sorry, but in my decade of JavaScript I never read anything more cryptic than this. What is this supposed to mean?

Switches in JS are just implicit maps.

const caseVal = 'case1';

const result = ({
'case1': (()=> 'case1Val'),
'case2': (()=> 'case2Val'),
'case3': (()=> 'case3Val'),
} [caseVal] || (()=> 'default'))()

Has identical performance to a switch case and is far more idiomatic.
GATs seem easily understandable to me and I'm a "mere mortal". Like most things in software, the utility becomes clear when you actually have a practical purpose for its use. Don't get ahead of yourself.
Probably the code had logic such as the following, which from an amateur perspective, seems to work. After all, the first check prevents the withdrawal if the account balance is too low, so what could go wrong?

$balance = sql_query(“SELECT balance FROM accounts WHERE account_id = “ . $account_id);
if ($withdrawal_amount < $balance) {
withdraw_funds($account_id, $withdrawal_amount);
}

The correct solution of course requires putting the checks in an ACID transaction along with the account balance updating. This requires more work upfront (SQL is harder to write than PHP) and an impatient amateur coder probably didn’t think of it. Also I’m guessing they didn’t properly index all the DB columns and this made transactions take longer which exacerbates race conditions.
The US has largely solved the air quality problem, but the situation of water rights in the west feels to me like it carries the same tones of OP story.
Just want to caution that the legalese is really important here. I know that at Stanford all the IP and patents stay with the researcher. Meaning that they keep all the money from their discoveries. Contrast this with the UCs where you have to sell the UCs your patents and IP for $1.
Again, why should users switch to Mastodon if the UI is identical? You made some good points about Twitter's UX being terrible due to their focus on advertisers, but it looks like Mastodon is literally trying to be a Twitter knock-off. What's the benefit?
For anyone interested in blocking or looking at what is happening through Windows, the "Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline" may be worth looking at.

It's a set of group policy settings that can be used to manage and prevent almost all of the "phoning home", and it documents what is done etc.

It would be interesting to then do a private CA intercept (a la mitmproxy) on the resulting system to validate whether this correctly stops everything.
YMMV! As an non-power, graphics-wise, Linux user (that is, no 3d), my experience has been better with AMD than Nvidia (owned multiple Nvidia cards and a modern AMD one).

In daily usage, I think I've found one issue with the AMD card, and a couple with the Nvidia card. What's worrying is that when filing bugs while using an Nvidia card, devs both times gave the pseudo-automated answer "we can't solve that, Nvidia drivers are closed source", which was wrong in one case.

In Windows, I've used all the cards for gaming only, and never had any issues.
Seems that Norway and Denmark are in a bubble, because it is definitely not like this in Finland where data and tech have been years ahead. As soon as 3g/4g plans and smartphones started becoming more widespread than unlimited SMS/MMS, WhatsApp took over.

I have noticed that my Norwegian friends use Facebook Messenger quite a lot and the iPhone is pretty ubiquitous there with younger folk, so perhaps Denmark is the same.
EDIT: I was talking about kids.

But Dogbert's comment actually deserves a bit more than "try using
common sense instead of set theory" :)

I tried thinking of classes of adults who lack capacity, other than
the mentally unfit, senile or criminally insane.

There's a lot of young people who are "deemed to consent" (the passive
weasel-words of filthy scoundrels) in higher education. I've written
about Turnitin in the Times and the "very dodgy circumstances" in
which students are inducted into university and then find themselves
coerced into tacit agreement to use tools which massively violate
their privacy and other rights. The same applies to Microsoft products
where institutions block choice and force students use insecure
products that they would refuse if exercising their better judgement.

I was about to comment this. I’m surprised IKEA never went after that, but I guess it falls within the realm of parody.
Only 500MB of storage [same as DigitalOcean's free repo] - which isn't enough
I wonder how useful averages are since you can be (almost) arbitrarily fat, but die very quickly when you're even a little underweight. I guess the minimum waist size for an adult female is still double-digit inches, but I wouldn't dare guess the maximum waist size.
But this feature makes reading code easier? It allows library authors to absorb the complexity into themselves, allowing them to present easier and more convenient APIs for the users of those libraries. Because programs that consume libraries outnumber the libraries themselves, that results in a net reduction in complexity.
It does not highlight that the designer suggestion needs to submit your slide content. "Designer" is the name of a tab on PowerPoint.
It doesn't taste that different in every country (I've had it in most continents and quite a few countries). For whatever reason I still massively prefer regular coke to most of the other mainstream suppliers. I do like some small batch niche cokes though. Strangely as a kid I drank loads of diet pepsi, but I never drink diet soda now, and I probably only have 1 or 2 cans of coke/month on average.
If you can show me that Jesus ever cried because someone made a mean comment about his carpentry work, I could probably agree.
I actually find that Go has the qualities of C that I like. Namely, simpler language constructs and no classes.

Most people who aren't tech savvy (much less professionally famous engineers) aren't going to want to learn this nonsense, much less see cased words like this that reek of geekdom. Everything about Mastodon (and the Fediverse) seems like it's catered to people who are already are (or who think they are) mentally all in on the concept.

I dunno, maybe things will change given enough time, money and new users, but right now Mastodon seems like something that people just post to with very little comments and interaction.
They do - if you're using one kind for all. That's why starting a song can sometimes take a bit as it buffers/aligns.

It's when you're mixing software systems that the fun can begin.

It is extremely obvious that this is an IKEA, what are you talking about?
The whole premise is essentially making fun of IKEA’s labyrinthine design by imagining it as a literal deadly maze, similar to the mythological Labyrinth
I think the people at Microsoft have concluded that only suckers and dups are still using Windows.

I really hope that's not true. I'm a programmer and I still prefer Windows.

The UI is nicer than macOS, and the UX is smoother than Linux. Every now and then I try to install Ubuntu and find that it still doesn't work well with my headphones, or it randomly disconnects from my wifi.

Efforts like the Windows Terminal and WSL lead me to believe that you're wrong.
Securely containing untrusted user code so that it can't do any harm is ultimately the responsibility of the OS, or whatever sandbox the code is running in.

Language-level memory safety is useful for eliminating an important class of bugs, but if those bugs can be exploited to escape the sandbox, then that's the problem of the sandbox, not of the buggy program running in that sandbox. So please, by all means, write the sandbox itself in a memory safe language like Rust, but requiring the same for all code running inside the sandbox is nothing more than an admission of failure.

The advantage of corn over other crops is that it flourishes in the presence of nitrogen fertilizer. Sugarcane is not so hungry.

The cost of capturing fermentation CO₂ is low because fermentation CO₂ is almost pure with very little nitrogen in it. Thus almost all of the cost is the cost of compressing the CO₂, pumping it, and injecting it underground which is about $30 a tonne. Even a few percent of nitrogen will cause the CO₂ to misbehave while pumping, so capturing CO₂ from a combustion stream requires some kind of separation which historically has been an aniline stripper or something like the rectisol process, but maybe it will be aluminum formate or something else in the future. The aniline stripper costs about $50 a tonne.

The trouble with capturing fermentation CO₂ is that it is not scalable. There is a certain amount of it produced and it isn't enough to "save the Earth" but it is a low hanging fruit and it would help in the process in validating sequestration, as there are all kinds of questions about the permanence and safety of saline aquifer injection. (Don't get me started about the CarbFix water sequestration project...)

As for why you can't buy any good carbon credits it is the proliferation of junk carbon credits at low prices that keeps good ones off the market. Another problem is that many schemes are using the CO₂ to produce more oil

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-energy-carbon-capture...

which on one hand is a real market for the CO₂ (in Texas you can drill and get CO₂ in some places and since the 1980s they will pump it sideways and use it for enhanced oil recovery) but doing so seems to be more problem than solution and it ties the project economically to the up-and-down cycles of the oil industry.

It sounds (from other comments in this thread) like there's an org-level way to disable it, so they probably just use that to force it off.
The key point is that in the same situation, women are more likely to be injured from what I understand.
