Recently I relisted a simple 3d printed attachment for Nerf gun on Amazon. It got assigned to toys category. Listing never went live because they wanted all kinds of documentation about kids safety. Obviously it was not worth it for me and I dropped the idea.

I did sell it in the past without all these issues. So things do change in terms of safety, and likely because there is at least some liability on Amazon

Žižek on toilets:

>The German toilets, the old type -- now they are disappearing but you still find them -- it's the opposite. The hole is in front. So that when you produce excrement, they are displayed in the back, they don't disappear in water. This is the German ritual, you know, use it every morning, sniff, inspect your shits for traces of illness. It's High Hermeneutic. I think the original meaning of Hermeneutic for Germans may be this.

>"It is easy for an academic at a round table to claim that we live in a post-ideological universe, but the moment he visits the lavatory after the heated discussion, he is again knee-deep in ideology."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermeneutics

>Hermeneutics (/ˌhɜːrməˈnjuːtɪks/)[1] is the theory and methodology of interpretation, especially the interpretation of biblical texts, wisdom literature, and philosophical texts. Hermeneutics is more than interpretive principles or methods we resort to when immediate comprehension fails. Rather, hermeneutics is the art of understanding and of making oneself understood.
When using Homomorphic Encryption you need to compile your application to a circuit. This means that for branches you need to evaluate both sides and multiply by a bit (like a multiplexor). This way you preserve privacy at the price of heavy computation on the server side.
What we really need is a more flexible time to leave.

I come in at 8am and leave at 2pm, when my commute is about 1/4 what it is during rush hour. Then I hope on for another couple of hours after dinner.

This type of flexibility gives me the best of both worlds, I get to go into the office because I LOVE it, and HATE work-from-home, and I skip the commute.
True, that as well.
Every time I update iOS I have to go through a dozen modals to turn down apple's services: icloud, apple music, apple wallet, etc. To the point that I defer updates as long as I can.

Apple introduced those things years ago, Microsoft is only following their footsteps.

> Is the term "improve relationships" even appropriate as a "goal" when children are involved? … lower contact hours means less harassment and less use of each other as an emotional punching bag.

I’m really sorry this was your childhood. I can heavily relate, as I grew up feeling the same way.

Now, 20+ years and two adult children later, I can say that the best thing I ever did as a parent was make building and improving my relationship with my children my top goal and priority from day one.

They’ve never been my emotional punching bags, or my emotional support animals. I’ve always had my eye on where we are now—them being adults. This is the period I have been intentionally building toward since I was changing diapers.

It means I focused on treating and considering them as their own unique and independent people since before they knew it. My childhood modeled what I absolutely did not want to repeat with my children. This meant I was responsible for modeling how to truly listen, respect, and support their thoughts and decisions; for creating a safe environment; for explaining myself clearly when necessary so they could understand me as a person, without resorting to “because I’m the parent”; and, most importantly, for apologizing when I was the one in the wrong.

I’ve done a lot differently than I experienced growing up, and unless my sons are lying to me (which they don’t do), it’s made all the difference compared to the relationships they see among my parents and extended family.

For most of their childhood, I worked from home. I believe it is part of why I built such a good and healthy relationship that’s now the foundation of all three of us being adults—not least of all because when I screwed up, I could apologize and use all that time to improve the relationship by resolving my mistakes, modeling the respect and love they deserved, and building a better future.

I'm not saying that standards shouldn't be freely viewable, but this isn't that big of a problem or unique to the ISO. There are hundreds of standards for manufacturing split across dozens of publishers and industry organizations (just for electronics you have JEDEC, IPC, ISO, and then 2-3 more depending on specific application domains).

If you're working in industry your company pays the pittance for membership as an organization then you pay the (relative) pittance for the doc and shove the PDF into your company's network store (unless they're jerks and lock it to a device).
I regularly discover that even new DVDs won't play. It's a crap shoot.

Then there's the menu system on it. Every DVD has to re-invent menus, usually badly. For example, they often do not display what options are actually set or not. Sometimes it's even hard to find the cursor.

The only good thing about DVDs is you can turn on the Eddie Mueller commentary for film noir movies. That man is an unending gold mine of snark, wit, and funny/interesting comments. He's often more interesting than the movie.

Honestly, I liked it quite well up until I had to use it in an org environment for Python development. The only way to configure VSCode to accept custom Windows environment variables or change the run dir means you either have to run your code as a task or in debug mode. It does not support simply configuring the environment variables and running the code in the integrated terminal. So yeah, it might be not not there as an IDE for me.

That’s a blatant lie with an air of European “superiority.” Yea we do, every one of us learned it in our school math and science classes.

It’s arbitrary to convert between any two mathematical units in general (it’s one of the main exercises in junior high math.) Any discussion of Americans “just not getting it” or “doing it wrong” is a cope from societies who have done far less in the past century in terms of scientific and technological progress.
Probably because they want cameras they know will work and survive in a deep-space environment. Space is hard. Once you get out of the atmosphere and magnetosphere, it's an unkind environment for electronics. They're probably going to spend the money, effort, and mass on some nice cameras for manned missions, but these are little cameras that mount to the ends of the solar arrays.
Average I don't know about, but my commute into Manhattan from Jersey was 2 hours, one way door to door. You have to count driving to the train station and the time it takes to get from the station to the actual office.

That said, the actual train ride was approx 75 minutes.

Even worse, I drove to Westchester for a number of years and that was 120 miles a day (60 one way) including a trip over the Tappan Zee! At least on the train ride I could read.

I no longer live in the NYC area and certainly don't miss those commutes.
The problem is that one has to enable phone MFA before they can enable Authy/other-app MFA. I have no idea why, only theory I can come up with is the value of tying accounts to outside marketing databases using phone numbers as IDs.
I think the confusion is the parent is talking about an implementation detail (blockchain), rather than the main problem cryptocurrency actually solves. Cryptocurrency solves for internet based financial sovereignty. Whether or not you think that's important to the world is a different discussion.

If I'm an engineer escaping a tyrant with unrealistic expectations, I certainly don't want to join another company... with unrealistic expectations.

If you increase Automattic's revenue by 10x you deserve to OWN Automattic.
> The memory safe subset of C++ is also an option.

This does not actually exist, as far as I'm aware. There are certain things people propose doing in C++ that eliminate a small number of issues, but I haven't seen anyone clearly define and propose a subset of C++ that is reasonably described as memory safe. Even if such a subset existed, you would still need some way to statically enforce that people only use that.

Even just writing the parsers in Lua should be a safer choice than writing it in C, but I think now is as good of a time as any to start writing critical code paths in Rust. If the Linux kernel is beginning to allow Rust for kernel modules, then it is high time that OpenSSL looked more seriously at Rust too

As others have pointed out, parser generators could be a useful intermediate option for some of this.

I suddenly see your point in the last stanza.

Why can't we share a communal printer? Good question. Especially
considering how sparse usage is compared to the 80s/90s.

I actually liked going to the print room - kinda like the water
cooler where you could meet people and talk - catch a look at their
print job and strike up a conversation "Oh I see you're running
regression tests...". IIRC at UCL CS the print room was also where the
coffee pot lived.

For me the greatest feature of VSCode is that it is a neovim frontend.

To me it isn't a vim competitor, but a different way to use vim.
It depends on the language and codebase. For a lot of projects I use the IDE that has all the tooling built-in like Visual Studio for C# projects, IntelliJ for Java, PyCharm for Python, etc.,. Log files, CSV files, various other miscellaneous files, and pretty much any other code I come across I use Visual Studio Code. Even if there is a good IDE often I'll just use Visual Studio Code if I'm dealing with things where the IDE is just as likely to get in the way.

The main thing I like is that by default I can just edit text with plenty of keyboard shortcuts, without the bloat of an IDE, but there's also an extension for practically anything I might want to do. I can also do all my command line work from it, run things and debug from it, etc.,. Guess I've sort of made it into an IDE that only has the bloat (features) I need, and not extra stuff.
Except there were men who weren’t shown as weak or toxic. And there were equally women who were shown as bad in this show as well.

Public messaging is performative. Very few people actually care, and those who do are not getting airtime, so you wouldn't hear from them.

It's like a soap opera. You don't get mad at characters in soaps doing stupid things to create drama, because that drama is the reason they exist. Media largely works the same way, and you should treat it accordingly. Don't get upset, just don't watch soaps if you don't like drama.
> you can now run real Linux inside Windows

Sorta. Not that I use Windows much but from comments here on HN I inferred that the first windows subsystem for linux was decent ish. But then they launched WSL 2 that runs a VM behind the scenes with Linux in it and that limits what you can do with the rest of the OS.

Someone with actual experience please correct me if i'm wrong...
That was a bit creepy while it lasted. (the mouse pointer thing that is)
My guess would be something regulatory. Perhaps a bill to make some types of cryptocurrency illegal.
"Vinyl records have their followers who revitalized the format...so maybe there are collectors of DVDS...?"

I think it's possible this is happening or will happen, perhaps in a similar vein to how vintage gamers/collectors now venerate the GameCube and PS2 as the last bastion of consoles that weren't designed to be online all the time, and will therefore be playable "forever" in a way that everything which has come after them will not.

At the same time, I feel like vinyl records are a little different from a DVD— from the analog tactility of them, the size of the packaging leading to beautiful artwork, the fact that they were the dominant format for decades, while DVDs got barely fifteen years (the aughts and a bit beyond). It's easy to love a record when you put it on and you can immediately tell "yes, this is a high quality stereo audio experience that I am having with this piece of media and the equipment I have invested in for consuming it", and I'd argue there just isn't really an equivalent experience for DVDs: they're always going to be blurry, with janky menus and unskippable ad reels, blocky subtitles, cheap plastic cases. Some of that changes with collectors editions in special boxes or whatever, but I don't know if it's widespread enough across the format as a whole to really enable the kind of culture that exists around vinyl.

> A huge part of this program is to generate buzz and interest in the public about the human space program.

Perhaps this is an impossible task. Humans don’t care about space explorers. We continue to have fun with sci-fi, but when we actual humans going to space in real life, it turns out they are just rich ass-holes that we all commonly hate.

Compare this with actual useful robotic missions like the James Webb Space telescope, which sparked huge interests and a ton of excitement.

I think the era of human space exploration died in the 1970s, and any effort to try to revive it are futile.
This is reasoning backwards in a misleading way. The point is not changing the fuzzing setup to find this specific bug that we now know with hindsight was there. There are a zillion paths and you would need to be ensuring that fuzzing reaches all vulnerable code with values that trigger all vulnerable dynamic behaviours.

> Is it just me who can't muster any enthusiasm over it because the rocket is so wasteful? Not very Tintin to trash the entire booster and everything for every launch.

If your instincts come from how SpaceX have done it, then I can imagine it feels extremely wasteful. But SpaceX needs to try and turn a profit, so they have a different set of incentives to NASA.
Apple absolutely is horrible for privacy. To insist otherwise suggests you might either be uninformed, willfully ignorant, falling victim to Apple's sham marketing around privacy, experiencing stockholm syndrome, or an apple employee.

Examples include:
- Apple surreptitiously recording conversations without user consent (https://www.politico.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Public-St...)
- Apple approving apps in the app store that have libraries ostensibly singly focused on the violation of privacy, complete with behavior that would be expected from those with suspicious or questionable motives, like uploading in the middle of the night (https://www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2019/05/its-3-am-do-you-k...)
- Misleading users into thinking that their wifi and bluetooth may be disabled when they actually aren't - a UI
control that merely disconnects the radios from APs / remote devices, rather than turning the radios off (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/sep/21/ios-11-ap...)
- iPhones send a ton of data (including call logs) to Apple servers, which participated in the illegal PRISM mass surveillance scandal, and conceivably report to similar secret programs that the public is not aware of to this day (https://theintercept.com/2016/11/17/iphones-secretly-send-ca...)
- iMessage reports back to Apple every phone number you've ever entered into it, data that Apple probably shares with law enforcement (https://theintercept.com/2016/09/28/apple-logs-your-imessage...)
- iCloud is enabled by default. All of your pictures, videos, documents, etc are NSA-accessible, but also rendered vulnerable to anyone with your credentials. This was the root cause of the celebrity nude photo leaks several years ago.
- Mac computers had routinely sent files stored on encrypted disks to Apple servers without user permission ever being prompted for or granted (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/nov/04/apple-dat...)
- Here's a great analysis of all the snooping Apple did on Yosemite with all privacy features enabled (https://github.com/fix-macosx/yosemite-phone-home)
- More various articles (https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/05/new-guidelines-outli...), (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jul/23/iphone-ba...), (https://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/the-exchange/privacy-advocat...).

And these are just privacy concerns. This doesn't even begin to delve into the realms of DRM, downgrade prevention, planned obsolescence, dark patterns, censorship, or open collaboration with inhumane, authoritarian regimes.
> secluded lives.

Remember that "pandemic remote work" is not at all normal remote work. I have a social life outside of my coworkers. I can work from places that aren't my home office - a cafe, a coworking space, whatever - even if it's just a couple hours to get out of the house.

It need not be seclusion.

Yeah, well, no argument from me here.
