Cities may have a soul but they lack a heart (and a brain too).

From 2018 through 2020, the NCVS found that the violent-crime rate in urban areas was between 29 percent and 42 percent higher than the rate in rural areas

The property-crime rate in urban areas was nearly twice as high in 2021 as in suburban areas (157.5 to 86.8 victimizations per 1,000 households)

I think parenting is the worst possible space for N=1 anecdotes. I have two sets of friends who did what you did and have never slept alone or through the night for coming up on five years. For our oldest, also coming up on five years, we did like one night of sleep training at 18 months and immediately started sleeping through the night like magic. For our youngest, we never had to do anything, he just always slept through the night no problem. All of these anecdotes mean nothing, just like yours. Parents need to experiment and figure out what works best for them and their kids, and everyone who isn't them needs to butt. out.

NanoIDs are shorter than UUIDs because they have a bigger alphabet. That's probably why.

It's not very important for putting IDs in URL paths. But it can matter when using them in DNS subdomains because often there are surprisingly short max character lengths for domain names in e.g. LetsEncrypt SSL certs (iirc 63 characters)
The only time I need to save a website it's in the context of some notes, I prefer to cut and paste the exact url into my notes. Bookmarks without context aren't that useful otherwise.

Shiori is a self-hosted bookmark manager that uses tags and it's what I use now. https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori

I've been strongly preferring methods that let me tag items and have a good search - either in addition to or instead of putting them in a folder. If I don't like the "taxonomy" I can just add more tags, instead of constantly trying to figure out the one folder where everything should go.

I can share by creating an additional visitor user, or use the import/export commands. I hope those get built into the UI sometime, but I rarely share more than a single bookmark at a time.

It is an extra step to copy/paste links into Shiori versus browser built-in features, but I prefer not to trust or rely on browsers for my bookmarks unless at work. Seems like everyone wants sync those to accounts without my explicit consent.
I played with network sniffer on home network (that sent funny packets to switch to make it MITM traffic thru my machine). Except it didn't work/I fucked something up and all traffic went thru my machine.

They couldn't prove it's me so teacher just blanked banned anyone in the library (our class with few of my friends were on the 4 machines in the library) from using machines there for few months.

Then when we got new shiny machines for computer lab I was bored when the teacher was explaining something so I started guessing admin password. It was zaqwsx

Having IDs that can't be represented cleanly in a hyperlink makes them pretty useless if you're building a web facing service.

One of the problems with this too is that a major reason people live downtown is for the short commute to the office. If the office doesn't exist or in the suburbs, is living downtown still be attractive?
Pocket, Collections and reading list fit this description. Really though, it’s just not the way many people think. We don’t navigate rigid taxonomies in order to remember things. Given an excess of available information, a loose semantic connection to a given website is all you really need to know how to get back there (or at least to find similar information again via another search) at a later date.

Also - make use of your address bar’s search functionality. Bookmarking as implemented is still useful.

Seems like something a librarian might enjoy though heh.
Yea, that is true for sure, like it's so easy to Google Search, but often times I find something related to let's say "data versioning" that might be something like "slowly changing dimensions" but and they're both 'related' but I can't for the life of me remember that they are related 3 months after when I go back to look at it.
This is about as credible as an MIT press release!
Isnt this a catch-22 situation?

what makes a "specific meteorite" important for research if they don't get a chance to look at it?

The issue, at least for Canada is the laws are clear:

"Canadian law on the matter is clear and simple: Any meteorite found in Canada belongs to the owner of the property it was found on. "

So places like the ROM need to ASK that you let them examine what you find.

I would assume that if you find something you can turn it over to the ROM to examine and have it returned given it is YOUR property??
I have run a linkblog for 15+ years now. It's basically bookmarks (and stored in Pinboard) but my focus is on publishing a social media feed for others to read. https://www.somebits.com/linkblog/

Linkblogging used to be a thing people did in the heydey of early 2000s blogging. Now it's mostly lost as a form. The spirit of it lives though in the way Mastodon, Slack, Facebook, etc make it easy to share a link and have a preview for it. What's missing is an archival backup view of that sharing. Pinboard gives me mine, but I seldom use it other than to search for something specific I vaguely remember.
OK, this may be news not intended for me, but can you help me out?

> What the group wanted to find out was whether the brain signals seen in their study when participants were examining pieces of code resembled the patterns of activation observed when neural networks analyzed the same piece of code. And the answer they arrived at was a qualified yes.

Does this allow meaningful conclusions? I have difficulties to decide whether the article tries make a statement or tries to promote a hypothesis.
An interesting thing about LLPSI is that it does include abstract discussion of grammatical rules and concepts - in Latin, once readers have learned enough to permit following the discussion.

So it's not just learning from example and trying to pick up grammatical rules intuitively. Like when I took my German class, it was taught by immersion but included discussions, conducted in German, of how grammatical rules work. LLPSI is also attempting to do that kind of thing.
I think the point of the article was that he increased his holdings substantially. On the wash sale, that would be in the securities market like stocks. Bitcoin is being treated like an asset (e.g. gold) by Treasury Department. Build Back Better Act was planning to extend this to more assets. Not sure what happened to this provision at the end.

LastPass user experience has grown terrible over the years. The iOS app regularly freezes for over ten seconds with no response.
Trying to login to LastPass on a second device, with 2FA enabled, regularly takes me over five minutes. Why?
Login to app. Lastpass tries to auth using watch app. That's broken, so ask for a SMS. Enter SMS.
That doesn't work. it wants master password again. Ok we're in! but now whatever flow to login to an app is broken. Open app, try and use the helpful keyboard shortcut that's broken. ok go back to last pass. copy the password. Oops it wants to enter master password again. Ok. Good thing I picked a long master password. Ok now back in. need to search the site I wanted. got it. copy password, switch apps, paste. DONE!
Also, security vulnerabilities?! Definitely going to switch to Bitwarden.
You know, pre-covid when everyone worked at office Mon-Thursday, I also liked going into the office on Friday when no one was around. Something calming about working in a deserted 1500 person office building.

I'm also slow thinker as well. I do terrible during those post-it note brainstorming sessions where you have to come up with ideas in response to something. Sometimes I wonder how I managed to work my way up to management.:)
Sure it is: an appeal to authority is not a valid step in a deductive logical argument, unless you have somehow established that the authority in question is literally infallible.

Now, it's grounds for an (extremely) persuasive inference! And we know very little of what we consider known by strict deductive logic: we rely on weaker inferential reasoning the vast majority of the time. Grandparent's "means almost nothing" is much, much too strong.

But when we really want to know for sure that something is true, people are going to want to see proof, not a statement from someone who probably knows of proof.
Actually, I have a Kindle, and this is a great idea, I like the distraction free point of Kindle's, I'll need to "bookmark it" and give it a shot
I'm not an specialist, but I suspect the rationale is that you have less control of how the memory is cleaned up after use. In special, the GC can actually copy objects around without the programmer's knowledge, potentially making multiple copies of secrets which the programmer cannot clean up (by setting the bits randomly) later on. Without a GC, the programmer is able of knowing how many copies there are of any given secret and can dispose of them, if needed. On that note, probably writing their own "malloc" is probably a good choice.

That said, I'm sure there are workarounds even in GCed languages. For instance, you can usually create C extensions which could allocate and manage memory outside of the GC's control. So, such extesion could potentially give back memory control of certain special memory regions where secrets can be stored, while everything else just goes through normal GC.
And for most non-English books and movies, good luck buying them anywhere in the English-speaking world.

What about blogs themselves?
14 more, nice.
No, but it would be cool in the nerdy sense to have a dataset of average temperatures in various conditions, or at least e.g. people are within 98-99f about 60% of the time, within 97.5-99.5 about 90% of the time, within 97-101 about 97% of the time etc, as measured by X device/method at Y time of day after "average" activity level etc.

Instead of just giving temperature, a thermometer could say "there is a 70% chance that your immune system is more active than usual" etc

Of course, small additional data points like "i'm exhausted and coughing more than usual" increase the confidence of the result by orders of magnitude over just temperature...
Not regarding a human child, but my spouse thought leaving our rescue dog, still a youngster only a few months old, in a cage in another room overnight was somehow proper, which frankly incensed me as cruel and abusive nonsense, because it's not the way of the wild, not what any of us were evolved for. And I'd lived with and worked with rescue animals for decades, so felt strongly about this.

(i put my foot down and gave her run of the house so she was soothed to be with her (generalized) family, and she's been fantastic ever since. my spouse is still indignant about her plan being abandoned, but it proved the effective and healthy choice.)
this is great news!

It's a shame because it's an excellent product, I really wish 1P understood this. Their removal of the cloud sync feature and insistence on moving to a subscription-based model is infuriating and drove me away from them.

Could you expand on this? I struggle to think of how a site like HN or Reddit could work in a first-in-first-out fashion while also taking into account vote score. Perhaps you mean that a post's score should not decay over time and fall off the front page, or at least should do so more slowly? Or it should be able to be bumped to the front if there's new activity (comments/votes)? Would be interest to hear your thoughts
I think both of your points 2 and 3 are heavily impacted by "Big O faults", it's just that you are seeing the practical repercussions from a distance ("postmortem" of the failure so to speak) rather than evaluating the potential problems up front before they occur. "Big O" is a "theoretical" tool for trying to avoid problems up front. When those problems do occur in practice they show up as hitting resource constraints (the algorithms don't scale in resource utilization in a once predicted way, or don't scale with input in ways that align with business needs, etc), or they show up as architectural faults (designs that don't last much beyond initial conditions/testing conditions).

In all those cases the "Big O" of the chosen algorithms is never directly "at fault", it's an approximation tool so of course it will rarely be a "smoking gun" in the real world, but it can be a very common hidden "root cause" that's easy to overlook in problem "post mortems", often: Had the developer at the time a thing was written been better aware of the "Big O" complexity of their chosen algorithms they might have found potentially better trade-offs for resource utilization given resource constraints or for architecture given expected long term design.

I know that's a lens I apply a lot when doing performance work and trying to find "true" root causes, thought exercises along the lines of: What was the intended "Big O" of this algorithm when originally written? What in practice violates that intention? Where are hidden "Big O" costs that a developer might have missed because it seemed ancillary to their core algorithm they were working?

(In .NET, for a concrete example of applying "Big O" to performance fixing, I can go to some length on "ToList Considered Harmful" and how it's a common accidental O(n)/O(n^2)/O(n^m) sink, in both time and especially space [memory usage], that is non-obvious because it is so easy to write .ToList() everywhere and so common in many codebases/code-styles to find it mindlessly everywhere and a lot of APIs wastefully use IList<T> or ICollection<T> rather than IEnumerable<T> or IQueryable<T> as their API boundary and a lot of developers use "ToList Debugging" as a crutch and yet ToList doesn't look like it intentionally means to be a part of the algorithmic complexity of the actual business logic it interferes with.)

> Has anyone participated in an fMRI study? I'm curious how they do this in such a large machine.

Not for this specifically but I've done other fMRI studies and I bet they could get you to read code samples and answer multiple-choice questions about it by telling the researcher A, B, C, or D. e.g. "what would be the output of these 12 lines of javascript?" etc. Or you could probably even select a multiple-choice from the screen by sliding a selection thing up and down over the options and then pressing the trigger for enter (so like, there's a joystick + trigger that you hold in your right hand)

I put `net send * Seniors2005` 200 times in a OPEN_ME.bat file and put it in our shared folder on the school network (it was buried deep in the Art department directories and was full of emulators and music and stuff.

My friend saw it and said "What's this?" I told him not to open it and of course he did so immediately.

This was a K-12 school, so every single lab, every single teachers computer all the way down to kindergarten got it.

When IT came to my friends machine, I fessed up and got in trouble. Banned from school computers for the rest of the year, all my teachers got a notice about it and I had more than one awkward conversation about what I did.
He's probably right, but the post gives vibes of "I used to pimp (as he puts it) for LastPass and now I'm pimping for my friends over at 1Password."

You are entirely correct in your criticism of Rosetta Stone, but LLPSI genuinely takes a very different approach. (I've done both, though for different languages.) LLPSI is carefully structured, precisely to teach things like declension and conjugation. As an example, this is very first line:

Rōma in Italiā est. Italia in Europā est. Graecia in Eurōpā est. Italia et Graecia in Eurōpā sunt.

This is not what most people mean by immersion. It's not a natural dialogue you're expected to understand by osmosis, it's an extremely carefully designed series of sentences aimed at manually bootstrapping your Latin. The book contains grammar explanations - wholly in Latin - from chapter 2 onwards. Every chapter has a grammatical concept it's designed to illustrate, and it manages to introduce fairly complex ideas - passive conjugations! ablative declensions! - in a deeply intuitive way, entirely in Latin. It's an incredibly satisfying course. If you have any interest in Latin at all, or are just looking for a New Year's Resolution, I would heartily recommend it.
The pilot's union doesn't have a monopoly on truth. They would always like to be paid more and work less, as would I!

Once upon a time we were pranking each other in the university lab. We thought ourselves pretty clever by convincing a friend to run a Fork Bomb.

"What is it supposed to do? Nothing's happening."

"Really? Did you run it in a shell?"

"Yeah, in my SSH session in the main server."

Oh.

The server was down for a couple of days while the admin figured out what happened, fixed it, and limited the number of open processes per user.

I too discovered the wild card net send in high school. I was at an assigned computer in class though and ended up with a stern talk from IT in which they claimed I caused all sorts of network issues. I thought it was hooey at the time but I was pretty sheepish about the whole thing.

I didn’t get in trouble and returned to class.

Later that year I installed VNC server on my friends workstation in the same class and used it to mess with him during class. We had a pretty good laugh. Another friend saw this happen, took the idea with some of his friends and a few days later installed VNC server on a bunch of computers throughout the building. My understanding is they generally caused a bunch of chaos, it was figured out who had done it, and the group were arrested(!). They ended up with community service if I recall.

I very thankfully was not pulled into this at all and found out about the whole thing later.

In my experience, there’s no such thing as too many questions, so long as they’re of good quality.
