Tasteless tacky & dull. More flood the zone with shit antics. How low.
Interesting question. I've read books about the Templars and it didn't come up. Some speculation:

Worth bearing in mind the type of people using this service were landed gentry. A Turkish bandit wouldn't do well turning up at a Templar fortress trying to redeem some French Lordlings's gold but you still have to expect unscrupulous Europeans would be stealing from each other.

I'd expect the KYC was pretty strong at the issuers that handled gold/property. Your family would be known, not just the individual. I think they were redeeming food/lodgings/services while on route so defrauding a remote fortresses might not be at all rewarding. To score big I think you'd need to present as landed gentry at places like London which sounds hard... your target would need to have no friends/relations... but it's the premise of 1000s of historical fiction novels so eh?!

Wax seals and such were the authentication tools at the time. It might hobble attempted fakes but I would assume thieves would steal the cygnet rings and such too. I've seen claims the Templars used cyphers but that type of history gets blurred with the romantic stories. Encoding a password onto the cheque seems painfully obvious to us today.

I imagine there was a chain of custody of the person themselves. Templars were protecting the pilgrims not just their gold so they accompanied them from location to location so the chance of someone unknown turning up at a gate with cheques to cash is less likely. I also imagine they were in groups with others of similar stature with similar arrangements so the difference between an authentic wealthy traveller and a chancer might be quite vast. I imagine there was a network of letters between Templar sites tracking the notable Lords so faking your way into someone else's identity would be quite tricky.

From what I gather, it foremost may simply have been a risk based business where the vast profit covered the losses.
Thanks. That's what I like about Obsidian, a flexible tool kit, instead of KFC party bucket. I just wanted to (self-servingly) remind Obsidian to keep in mind not to go down that road.
You prefer to live in a universe where this is true, or just think it is the most likely explanation?

Because frankly you should seek help if it is the former.

No, you don't need to review the "security" of my connection. I'm at home with my OpenWrt router. I don't trust JavaScript execution by default because of security. It's a real shame folks think they can do this with users' browsers.
Can you avoid the error — without needing to use higher-precision math for every step — by 1. using higher-precision math only to calculate some control points along the line; and then 2. partitioning long lines into smaller overlapping lines that connect at the control points; so that you can then 3. draw those short lines with the cheap algorithm?
Elixir is great. I love it!
You're completely missing the point, again.

This isn't about "celebrities" (a word I never used), it's about popular people all around, like authors, journalists, and so on.

And sure nobody is personally replying to all of their 10 million+ followers, but those 10 million+ followers do want to follow! And popular figures absolutely interact with and reply to tons of their followers quite frequently, that's the whole point.

Frankly, nobody cares if you "don't need" anybody popular. But to argue that a place like Mastodon should make it impossible for anybody to be popular, is ludicrous. If Mastodon wanted to stay tiny for people like you, separated into little popular-people-not-supported bubbles with a some hard max limit on followers, then why would it even have been built on federation in the first place...?

The idea that an author with only a few followers could have a best-selling book, and then at some point enthusiastic readers try to follow them only to get "error: max follow limit reached", would be a total and utter failure. A bug, not a feature.
The current IBM zSeries is still backwards compatible with System/360 (and latter) models, so there could still be important APL\360 running in the wild.
> You kidding me? You're a complainer in search of an issue, there's nothing wrong with this. "Buying things on the internet" obviously works already, in the form of patreon, subscriptions, and digital purchases.

And I've used such services, yes. But this looks way too minimalistic to me to be useful.

On Patreon I subscribe to a specific artist. I know who they are and they can know me if we talk to each other. I can favorite posts, provide feedback, get perks, etc. When an artist says that for $10 I'll get access to their latest sketches that's a public announcement on Patreon, and if they don't hold up their promise, fans will get upset.

Here there's an obscure link. I don't know what I'm paying for, or who made it. I don't know whether it belongs to the actual person who's supposed to benefit. Somebody could pay for the first access, make their own link and then leech off the actual artist by spreading their link around.
> Already got my foot in some cool groups, not really a work-together thing

Yeah I actually was saying insense of professional work. For Ex: Take assetnote, they do code review,s and such. If you get to work with them that would be really good for professional work. There are several other smaller startups/org with good people in them that are doing security research.

> like pmnh (https://hackerone.com/pmnh?type=user) and zi

Oh, that is a good thing. I've followed some of their work.

> Joining big organizations like Google Project Zero seems very hard for me in my eyes haha. Would have no idea on how to get into them.

Right now, not sure how it would work. But P0 was just an example, if the idea of working they seem good then the first step would be to professionally become part of a smaller org/group that does security research. And then gain traction from there by doing more public research in whatever field you like. AFAIK P0 prefer people with public research experience and have something decent to show they did publically.

> and will easily land a job when the time will come." Well, that's the thing. I don't want to leave out any opportunities, just because I was lazy in my young years. There are many insanely good people out there and I heard companies more look at years of experience and certifications, instead of public "achievements" like HackerOne, etc.

Just read this in one of your comments (sorry just going through the thread). I actually agree with what @mrg2k8 said you are young and don't forget to enjoy the time you have now.

The thing about certification/Year of Experience is true but only when you actually want to work in an organization that works for itself. Basically, if you want to go in a line where you are working as insert security-related post, in a company. If you want to continue working as a researcher, just exploring applications and finding bugs then you don't have to worry about all that because in that scenario public achievements would rein over certifications or years of experience.

If you are getting bored with research and want to get a job like penetration tester, Product security, etc then I think the majority of my suggestions become irrelevant. And then you should just go for a degree -> certifications -> Apply for jobs -> $$$$
I take it you’ve never tried to install nokogiri?
There used to be a social market for nice little infographics that could readily illustrate inconvenient truths. I've wondered why we haven't seen the same for college topics. A simple infographic could show the amount of spending on diversity initiatives that could instead have gone to reducing tuition expenses. Between salaries and actual program costs, the number must be embarrassing for universities (not as embarrassing as football program costs but...that's another topic).
I doubt that commercial generators are making anywhere close to 22 cents a kilowatt hour at noon on a sunny summer day. They'll turn on their gas turbines later in the day when solar output has dropped and the instantaneous market rate increases.

Homeowners should be paid lots of money if they can produce power at peak demand times, incentivizing the installation of storage. This is what it will take if we really want to turn down the natural gas generators.

Interesting flow, but I disagree — I think there are too many steps until user gets some reward from it.

I think a website is essentially a way to share content and communicate, so the first step, after signing up, should be to write content and immediately see it live at some subdomain. Everything after that is just editing/customization. So it'd be as it is in Veonid:

1. Read a landing page and click "Sign up"

2. Enter email address and sign up via magic link (no need to worry about providing password which you maybe use somewhere else)

2. "You've signed up!" (already some reward and feedback about what happened)

3. Click "Create a website" button

4. Write content and click "Publish" when ready

5. Done! Your website is live at a domain: startup.com/123456789 (another reward)

6. (optional, complicated stuff) Change template? Setup custom domain? Edit content?
If you feel offended by referring to the two landmasses as "America", then rest assured there is no malice intended. Northern and Southern America are connected landmasses .. why not simply use the term "America" to refer to both areas? Remember, just because someone are not "sophisticated" enough to come to the conclusion that Americans can also be South Americans does not mean they are seeking to offend you.
When I used this algorithm, I would seed a random number generator, and if it failed to produce a result given a set of constraints, I'd increment the seed and try again up to ~1000 times or so.

My advice would be to use that feeling of "I might get fired" to get you started looking for a job.

If you are fired, you'll have started the process early.

If you aren't fired, you'll have started looking for a less-abusive (and probably more lucrative) job somewhere else.

It's absolutely win-win for you.
I prefer lantinucks. There was also a short-lived trend of using 'x' in some parts of South America, it kind of died down in Chile as people decided to roll back to more boring centrist positions after a period of radicalization, and priorities shifted lower in the pyramid of needs during an economic crisis and a crime wave.
Add aliases to your gitconfig. Not gonna solve the frustration but at least it doesn’t have to be a trigger (oops). Also, I much prefer trunk over main/master anyway so I just went back to that.
Well, if you're going to go down that route:

> the British isles

Many in Ireland[1] would consider that a rather loaded political term rather than neutral geographic one, and wouldn't use it to refer to Britain and Ireland.

> Secondly, Ireland doesn't even have a blue line, which implies it is connected by land to Britain

It's connected by land to the UK. Maybe there should be an additional blue line to denote the Irish sea, but it wouldn't exactly add any additional borders to the map, as GB is also an island.

> And thirdly, Wales and Scotland should really be acknowledged, and at the same time you might suggest Northern Ireland as well.

Why? The UK as a whole is already there. Ireland is a sovereign state in its own right, unlike Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland which are just constituent parts of the UK. Do you think every US and German state should be there as well?

I kind of wish they would plant a stake in the ground and declare it feature complete and then go into maintenance mode. It's almost inevitable that they are going to keep adding features, give up control to VCs, and then fade away like Evernote.

This feature is neat, but it feels like a turning point. I believe it's the first betrayal of the it's-just-a-folder-of-markdown-files principle.
Since the end of November, when OpenAI debuted the wildly popular ChatGPT, observers on all sides have been concerned about the impact AI-driven content creation would have, particularly in the field of cybersecurity. Indeed, many experts are afraid that generative AI solutions would make crimes more accessible.
Musk could've easily accomplished all of his goals if he could just be more selective about what he says. Should've never mentioned anything about "absolutist" or "wokeism." Could've made all the same decisions (like trimming half the company, introducing "Blue", polling about re-admitting ex-presidents) and would now be in a totally different, much better position.

When he speaks, he closes doors and creates surface area for his critics to latch onto. They can rightly call him a hypocrite because he so often publishes things that he really should probably let stew for a while in his head first, whether or not he actually acts on it.
If you're waiting for someone to find a case of someone joining the KKK because they once heard about a blacklist, of course that is never going to happen. This is about one facet of learning that happens over 20 years of someones childhood, and then trying to link it to statistical issues that emerge over large groups. If it were even possible to isolate all the different factors to just look at language, it would take generations to test.

This is where we're coming at it from different sides. I think changing language is a relatively cheap and easy thing to do, that might help fix an issue in some small way, and there's really not much reason not to. The cause and effect is plausible, if not provable on any reasonable timescale.

Metaphor, simile, pathetic fallacy are all powerful tools that really do change the way we interpret the substance of what we read. Colours too, it's not a coincidence the major tech brands have gone with various blues, those blues are deliberately designed to nudge people towards a particular emotional response that is completely unrelated to the brand itself. If word selection really did nothing to change the impression of what we read, then writers and poets would be out of a job.
> lending money to the pope

The Pope was the owner of everything. It was, after all, a catholic order. The game here was very much the King of France attacking the money power of the Church, instead of an isolated problem with the Templars.

No, not the knight templars. Rather crusaders in general, excluding the children's crusade of course.

The templars were incredibly well organized.

> Not only was Windows NT 4 enormously better than DOS, but it was also objectively better as a total package than Mac OS 8, the Sun Solaris CDE desktop, and everything else.

The issues were that Windows NT needed much more RAM than consumer Windows at a time when RAM was still extremely expensive, and only a subset of the hardware that would work under consumer versions of Windows had drivers for Windows NT.

However, NT (and especially Windows 2000) was night and day better than Windows 9x.

AIs are not going to take your job (but may change the nature) for the forseeable future and a degree in Computer Science is still valuable. It's always valuable to diversify your skillset but in general it's highly likely that you will get more out of a CS degree than an HVAC qualification if that's what you're interested in.

side-note: while investigating the E * Waste world news a while ago, an important California announcement was made, co-sponsored by Goodwill (established charity). SF Mayor Gavin "perfect hairgel" Newsom spoke. As a nerd and quite well read on the topic, I expected vapid or hand-waving sorts of statements at the media event. not so ..

GNewsom spoke clearly and with detail, showed contextual understanding and also on important details. I was surprised. This E*Waste and consumer-rights topic is far from settled.

That’s why I mentioned “depending on copy” (or more broadly “UI”).

If I’m clicking a “Generate password” button I expected a new password every time. But here it’s an autocomplete-like dropdown rather than an action. By your definition, such dropdown would show different passwords for different fields, even if the second field is a “confirm password” field.

> Is Rails anti Typescript? It’s weird to see most other JS environments move to Typescript by default, while Rails now now ignores the ability to use it without jumping through hoops.

Have you not paid attention to the direction Rails is going? Hotwire (Rails' default front end) is all amount rendering HTML directly (not via JS) and using the absolute bare minimum amount of vanilla Javascript (with Stimulus). It's not React... So why would it need TypeScript's features and added complexity?

The whole point is using vanilla ES6 without a compilation step...

These kind of institutes have lost all touch with reality. Call it woke, postmodernist, critical (race) theory, I don't know what the correct term is. Their mechanisms are escalating out of control because nobody dares to stop them out of fear of being called an ableist, sexist, colonist, whichever-ist. It's like a virus.

Rather than progressive, it is regressive. It politically alienates a growing group of people in the center, center-left, independents. It's like a perfect recruitment movement for the right-wing, which is on the rise everywhere.

Progressives should stop this nonsense and return to the basics, which is to improve access to livable wages, good education, healthcare. For ALL, regardless of identity. Further, the explosive growth of the administrative function in these institutes needs to be dialed back. Always follow the money. It looks to me like right now, we're paying through the nose for anti-progress.
> "Brownshirt gangs: no idea what this is"

That tracks.
This is why we should have rejected changing master to main. No one was offended by that in the first place! They created the problem and negative association entirely out of thin air.

But we accepted it, updated our tooling, retrained our muscle memory from git checkout master to git checkout main to appease them. We gave them a taste of power and they're going to keep exercising it until meeting sufficient resistance.

Enough people need to call it out and say No. It shouldn't be that hard. This is a small power drunk group that's colonizing the language. Point it out. No one gets to dictate our language from the top down.
> The degree would mostly be for personal knowledge/fulfillment

I feel like this may answer your own question? It may be trite, but even in a world where AI makes us obsolete, there's still value in doing something fulfilling that you're interested in. Just because DALL-E 2 can replicate an oil painting doesn't mean that there isn't personal value in physically painting anymore.
Thank you. But it does not solve the issue. The custom URI concept is too complex and alien in the Windows world.

A Windows user would much better prefer to have a special anchor file in Obsidian vault folder that could be double-clicked and treated by the standard and observable means.

This is why .txt files are so popular. A double-click and they work. The specialized tools may be 100 times better, but they often miss one important detail: frictionless entry. If something causes friction, especially at the start, then it gradually becomes a burden a user doesn't want to deal with.

However, you advice solves the issue for me because I'm a technical user and you have kindly presented the information. But just imagine how many of those who would totally miss that.
