Having read "The Boy Who was Raised as a Dog", which goes into a fair amount of detail regarding attachment and attachment disorders, letting an infant "cry it out" strikes me as child abuse. Infants have no control over their environment, and crying is almost their only way to communicate.

I'm not enthusiastic about sleep training either - the gradual, controlled removal of sleep time emotional support by the parent. I would suggest to be very conservative and cautious if you want to take that route, and as the article states, definitely not before the age of 6 months.

Edit: I saw another comment which talked about "checking in" on the infant during sleep training. I think there is some middle ground I would be comfortable with after 6 months of age, where you don't rock the child to sleep for an hour, but you check in on them, gently touch them, talk to them soothingly for a little bit, and then you leave them for a little while. Come back in a little bit and briefly soothe them, and then leave again for a little while. As long as they know you are there. And you could stretch those periods out to see how the child does. But, again I would suggest to be very conservative and cautious and don't try this at too early of an age.

Bash is the default interactive shell assigned to new users in /etc/passwd.

This is different from /bin/sh, which is Almquist.
One effect of the massive complexity of web standards is lack of innovation and competition in the browser space.
They're not a group in the sense of "an in(out)group." That would require some kind of identity. It's a behavioral tendency in the sense of having a short temper or being gregarious, rather than a belief system or a club.

You seem the same as the other commenter, who ignores that: 1. It is certainly not free in terms of efficiency, and 2. It affects millions of other people, which makes it a big problem. Imagine every Honda car would shuffle dashboard buttons once a month. Every one individually can tolerate that, but added together it would be a huge problem. So precisely like spam.
Vaults stored in Dropbox could be brute forced if an attacker ever gains access to the ciphertext. The 1P service mitigates this by adding a random key as salt that’s stored locally (iOS keychain/browser storage). That key never leaves your device (authentication is done via zero knowledge proof), so the master password is virtually impossible to brute force right now, even with a very weak master password.

I can highly recommend reading the white paper, it’s very well written and kinda like a comprehensive guide to E2EE which every SWE should be familiar with anyway.

And what do you mean by Apple being lethargic? They added a secure enclave to all their devices that is probably the most secure storage and crypto processor you can hope to get for that kind of money. They also added the option of completely end to end encrypted backups. Because of the secure enclave, that’s actually a really safe option.
ultimately, this is what I thought might have happened. Reading it on a desktop had enough space that the down arrows were probably meant to indicate scroll on mobile, but showed all at once on the desktop experience. However, with all of the blocking that I have sometimes causes render/layout issues when people embed things, so I naturally just assumed something wasn't loading vs lame layout tricks

> Work is something I reluctantly do to fund the things I actually care about. It sure as hell isn’t my entire life or cause for existence.

Some of us prefer to care about our work. 40 hours per week is a lot of time to spend on something you don’t care about. Caring about your work isn’t the same as it being your “entire life or cause for existence”. Our lives can consist of many different interests.
Or because they no longer like being in a lively place. It gets old and the quality of life is very low for the prices you pay because space is limited and there's enough people that are willing to pay anything to be in a lively place.
Well, since ESP32 is available as chip, you can design a product which is just as robust, safe, resistant to ambient temperature effects, manufacturable at scale as you could with any other TI/ST alternative. With Raspberry Pi, up until the introduction of compute module you would still have been limited to whatever board-level properties Raspberry Pi foundation decided to go (limited temperature range, flakey USB sockets that don't tolerate high vibration, requiring hand assembly, difficulties sourcing reliable SD cards, default OS settings wearing out the SD card, difficulties sourcing in large quantities etc)- in addition to the same judgement on the side of person implementing the design.
1) Chris Moriarty. Spin State - relatively-hard sci-fi with decent non sci-fi elements (i.e. characters and stuff), which I think is rare.

2) Ralph Ellison. Invisible Man. I really enjoyed the writing, among other things, and how he captures short moments and scenes with sort of a hard-to-describe quality of a visual art, almost.

3) Ilya Somin. Free To Move. To me most of the book was "duh" but I think it would be a good read for people on the fence about immigration and private vs public institutions.

4) Vaclav Smil. Energy And Civilization; possibly How the World Really Works, still reading that one. Really dense and detailed examination of energy history of mankind for the former, and infrastructure of technological civilization for the latter.

5) Pluckrose & Lindsday. Cynical Theories. Good 101 on CRT and modern woke movement.

6) Alexander. New Jim Crow. Good 101 on war on drugs, although some broader social arguments the book makes straightforwardly don't seem to follow, or are contradicted by, its factual base IMHO.

7) Stephenson. Seveneves - really good hard sci-fi imho, although felt very, very long.

8) Orwell. Down and Out in Paris and London. A good book about poverty only 70-100 years ago. Also a good perspective for modern complaints about poverty - I have some non-US background for that, so I think many US readers might benefit more.

On the fence.
1) I want to plug Seleukid Royal Economy, just for the hell of it, if you are interested in ancient economy :)

2) Galef. Scout Mindset - on the fence about this one, but it seemed like it was way too long for what it offers. Maybe I've just read a lot of the same stuff ago.

3) Okorafor. Binti - not bad as a YA book, but sci-fi aspects are remarkably bad.

A few more I'm too lazy to type out ;)
The OP overview did mention some studies. (The OP overview is a really good model for a popularly-accessible summary of research on a complex topic! it lists so much stuff!)

I'm not saying this necessarily should eliminate all worry you have about attachment (personally sleep-training seems like a bad idea to me too; I'm not a parent however), but as far as what research is available, from the OP:

> Of the few studies that have looked at the short- to longer-term outcomes of sleep training, none have found an effect on a baby's attachment or mental health. Hiscock's study, for example, the largest and longest longitudinal study done on sleep training, found sleep-trained children were no more likely to be insecurely attached to their caregiver at six years of age than their peers. (Experts like Hiscock say they aren't aware of any studies that look at potential long-term effects of cold-turkey cry-it-out, just at modified extinction. They also examined healthy babies at least six months old. So these findings aren't necessarily applicable to infants trained at younger ages, or in other ways.)

> Like other longitudinal studies, Hiscock's lost touch with a number of families when it was time for the final follow-up: 101 of the original 326. That means it is theoretically possible that the sleep training did affect some children in either a negative or positive way long-term, but that their experiences weren't captured. It's more likely, though, that any effects of a single intervention simply "washed out" after six years, says Hiscock.

Hm but the default shell is still bash. It would make sense that "bashisms" don't work on "sh". You should use bash or bash derivatives (zsh) for bashisms.

I think the bigger stumbling block is that people often can't differentiate bashisms from basic shell scripting.

I'm a remote worker who likes a good (emphasis good) office environment better than working at home. But I prefer WFH nonetheless—because I don't like the office enough to pay five stressful hours of my waking time for it per week (for the commute).

That's nearly five percent of my waking hours per week (does hit 5%, if traffic's unusually bad one or two of those days), including weekends. It's more than 6% of my waking hours on a weekday. That's a pretty steep cost, especially since the activity's in no way pleasant and I'm not compensated for it. Then factor in how many hours I'd spend working just to pay for the means to commute....

IIRC Ton Rosendaal, Blender's creator, still leads the project, but while listening very closely to its users and their pains and a very interesting approach to software development.

The interview with BlenderGuru is great one: https://youtu.be/qJEWOTZnFeg

The last major redesign was started by a vision shared by the interviewer, who seems to be one of the many deeply invested artists.

(This is all very much "IIRC", based on stuff I've peripherally heard or seen years ago)
At the risk of conjuring a strawman, I've heard people worry about the loss of control, like maybe the process has some sensitive data in RAM that it will release and then the OS will alloc() it to another process. And that's true on one level, but nothing prevents a garbage collected language from overwriting all the data in a block of RAM as it free()s it. I think the risk of memory related bugs in a non-managed language is far, far greater than any GC-related hypothetical risks. And then you have languages like Rust which "feels" like it's a GC language because it manages all the alloc()s and free()s for you, but isn't GC at all because the language's semantics make those calls deterministic.

I'd vastly rather see sensitive security software developed in a modern garbage collected language (or in Rust and similar languages) than in C or C++.
iCloud Keychain syncing, strong password suggestions in Safari, and WebAuthn passkeys are all part of Apple's strategy. When they don't buy a third party and deeply integrate it, they tend to operate by insinuating themselves as the platform default. What would you have them add to that?
Best resources for an engineer to learn databases?
I’ve picked up a few programming languages by now, and I feel pretty comfortable understanding the differences (garbage collection, interpreter vs compiler, type systems, etc.)

Im at a point now where I feel like I “know” programming languages and could pick up a new one or choose the appropriate one for a project without a ton of effort

But for databases- I know a little bit, but i wouldn’t really know how to start choosing a database, or moving business logic like replication or rpc calls into a database.

Does anybody know a good resource? I see lots of courses online targeted at DBAs, Im not sure if that’s where I should start, or if I should do hello worlds or some equivalent of leetcode like I do for picking up a new language
Can't believe that they were using Electronic Coloring Book mode!
You need some kind of long distance transportation with enough capacity in cities still, because people just don’t stay in their little neighborhoods, they want to try the new restaurant in neighborhood A, catch up with a friend in neighborhood B, go to the sale in neighborhood C and before you know it all these little trips add up really fast. This wouldn’t happen if our neighborhoods were clones, but that would be terrible.

Tokyo is a carpet of self-sufficient, dense neighborhoods, and yet people still travel all over the place in large numbers.
>You can stay and die on this doomed planet if you want, I'll be tossing back Irish Raktajinos and enjoying my luxury space communism.

Friend, the planet isn't doomed... just large chunks of humanity. And if you think luxury and communism go hand and hand, you need to go back and rewatch DS9 focusing less on Garak[1] and more on Rom[2] :-)

Doh, sorry, it is public now!
People will work nevertheless - they just will do work unappreciated by capitalism: they will raise children (a large part of why birth rates have dropped is because it's absolutely impossible to raise children on two or more full time jobs), they will get into creative work (make music or art, write books, ...), they will take care of their elderly again instead of shoving them into "care homes", they will create open-source software, they will be managing their investments, they will work in whatever form of charity...

Is there a performant hardware platform which is openwrt compatible and has a single pair of input/output ethernet ports? I seem to remember an Intel device that worked for this, let me see if I can dig up the link

Oh the NT4.0 days. When we found out about the "*" feature, we spammed each other and everyone like crazy. A few days later the admin got very mad, as he found the domain controller showing hundreds of stupid messages that he had to dismiss one by one. It took him a few more days to figure out how to disable the messenger service. In the meantime someone found out that the sender and receiver displayed in the messagebox were actually included in the payload of the "protocol" and not verified by the receiver. So someone cobbled together a little tool that was even more fun.
Ridiculous. We are discussing it right now. Clearly you are not thinking but feeling instead.
Of course not, I'd rather the code be Open and audited.

Being Open Source is in some ways a multiplier on security because it allows more expert review. But the expert review is the important part; if security-critical code is Open Source but hasn't been looked at by anyone other than the main developers, the Open Source part is a multiplier on zero.

It's a little bit more complicated than that, and there are a lot other factors at play as well even outside of security. We're not really getting into stuff like future-proofing and what happens if 1Password gets a lot worse in the future. It's complicated.

But the gist is that while it would be a lot better if 1Password was Open Source, it's still in its current state probably got more eyes on it than some Open Source security projects do.

There is UPS Pico [1] for rPi3/4 that does that job well + a bunch of other features (fan control, some extra IO, supercap+battery support, watchdog and few other).

There are also few simpler ones that do "just" supply power and "power good" signal.

There is also plenty of DC UPSes, although often targeting the industry, which means "expensive"

In-between is [2] OpenUPS but I didn't used it. It's just pretty niche product and niche is also one of the "it will be expensive" keywords.

Soo yeah, they are out there and work fine, go and buy one. Oh, don't want to spend more than rPi ? Well, that's the price of niche products, even if parts are not super expensive it need to cost enough for NRE costs to amortize.

Or, slap a power strip and few power supplies into normal UPS and call it good enough

> and eat their eggs and you don't intend to slaughter the chickens later on- I'd class that as vegan, because you're not harming the chickens.

You cannot make your own definition of 'veganism' as you go, that makes any discussion impossible even without your strawman argument.

What you describe here is not veganism (no animal products at all, including things like honey), it's a common flavour of vegetarianism (no killing of animals).

In the definition of 'veganism' you quoted from the Vegan Society, there is 'exploitation'. Veganism sees eating eggs or honey as exploitation no matter how well treated the animals are, which is why it is off-limits. That same goes with wearing wool, for instance.

Even those bedroom communities are a lot more livable than their US equivalents, because they have local amenities, meaning you're not forced to go to some big-box store or strip mall for stuff like you do in the US. They function as small towns, not just vast swathes of houses, which makes them more sustainable.
If anything I would intuit such an implementation is sacrificing performance for security, since it rules out some classic vulnerabilities.

By your standards, trusting any 3rd party solution seems troublesome.

The entire web is built on 3rd party solutions. Should we all write our encryption libraries b/c we shouldn't trust any 3rd party solution?
You have to understand that this isn't an isolated event. LastPass is uniquely bad at this, and it is, for many, the last straw.

A workaround approach - disregarding any existing standards - would be to simply give the user a random, unique string to search for and then try to detect that string in the URL (typically as a query parameter) - then the browser just has to replace that string with the user's actual search query in subsequent searches.
Speak for yourself. I’d be the happiest if I didn’t have to work another day in my life.

It doesn’t mean I’d be wasting away on the couch, just that I’d be able to do what I want and not the intersection of what pays/what I can tolerate.

I don’t think people need work to live full lives. But it’s like remote work: why dictate everyone’s preferences rather than letting each person choose for themselves like an adult?

There are many worthwhile things to pursue that a capitalistic society doesn’t value. I don’t think I need a boss coercing me to do mildly stupid and useless things to make some shareholders even richer to live a full life. But I’ve got rent to pay (so that some investors get richer) and so I must work, for now. I don’t consider it a source of personal fulfillment.
Same here; a long while ago I tried to teach myself German via rosetta and it was not good. I remember the point where I gave up which was where 2 different words were used for food. Food for an animal, and for a person [1] I just wondered if there was a mistake, or what. A simple note saying 'yes there are different words for this unlike in English'[2] but no. I guess that was the final straw, I felt I was fighting something very poorly designed and basically not doing its job.

[1] Maybe it was 'to eat', I can't remember.

[2] In english there are actually different terms for human and animal edibles used in some contexts, these being 'food' and 'feed'
Bookmarks mostly get implemented in the browser, and going for big market-share drives the UI and features toward targeting the lowest common denominator. Some people out there don't know the difference between facebook or google and the WWW itself.

I still use Firefox in part because the bookmark tagging and the awesomebar work marginally better than what Chrome does.

Browsers and web UI have gotten dumbed down since even the more power-user oriented days of Firefox and prevalence of RSS.
I've started using the Arc browser as my daily browser and really like how it treats bookmarks as tabs. Basically, bookmarks and tabs are on the same visual level but separated by a divider.

Is it? Where does it say the license terminates at your death? Could you quote it?

It's non-transferable (i.e., can't move it from the account), but it doesn't list death as the end of the license. If a family member of mine dies but has a bunch of "purchased" movies on their account, those licenses don't just disappear. They remain on the account until the account is closed. I don't think the Amazon Terms of Service requires me to have a pulse to continue to have an Amazon account, and the license terms listed in the link I provided above clearly allows family members to access the media licensed to my account as long as it otherwise is allowed under the above terms, which never references death.

I don't see any reason why my spouse wouldn't be able to access Super Troopers on my Amazon account purchased back when the service was Amazon Unbox after my death, assuming Amazon still has a streaming service, and they still have the rights to stream that movie on the platform, etc. If I'm wrong, please feel free to point it out to me on the Amazon ToS.
Bitwarden is great, and their commercial offering of $10.00 per year is so cheap as to be effectively free. My only issue is the fact their servers could be wiped and I no longer have access to my data, but that's where KeepassXC comes in. I keep one Bitwarden and one Keepass DB as a fallback, and keep them updated with the same login entries. I store my KeepassXC database in various cloud storage services, as-well as keeping various local copies.
