Quoting from the article:

"Take, for instance, a loop ..."

Personally, I write most programs in a logic programming language that has no loops. I wonder whether the engaged brain areas also depend on the programming language. The previous study used for example Python, an imperative language, and mentiond "Language system responses during code comprehension are weak and inconsistent":

https://elifesciences.org/articles/58906

Could it be that language system responses are stronger for more declarative programming languages, where a clear description of the problem is of greater importance?

I like the research part, where you research and try different stuff. Writing CRUD apps where you know exactly what to "code" it will just take hours to set up the boilerplate, write tests, etc, it does feel like a chore.
Hans Ørberg was Danish, so it might have been Danish rather than English if he had decided to include a modern language!

Even though it's often claimed to be appropriate for self-study, I think Ørberg thought that the commonest way it would be used was with a teacher, who would either teach by immersion (I've met people who used it that way) or by speaking a modern language to the students. I'm sure one thing he saw as a benefit to the Latin-only texts is that they could potentially be used by people all over the world, regardless of their native language, without having to be translated or localized for different audiences.

> The current suite of nonprivate tech offers an insane amount of power, especially for those of us without a good memory or navigational skills.

Do you think relying on these tools has made your memory better (allowing you to wean yourself off them), or worse (creating a customer for life)? I firmly believe it creates a sort of learned helplessness in people, in the same way the commercial internet in general is bad for ones memory or attention span.

Given how many people seem to believe Google Maps has gotten much more in-your-face (instead of doing its job and getting out of the way) over the last few years, but so few are willing to abandon it, I suspect I'm right: using the tools you find (and are!) so helpful creates a dependence on them.

I loved reading Atomic Habits by James Clear. I've been meaning to re-read it and this is such a great summary. Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely we can't get very far with logic without relying on some axioms, and those axioms can't themselves be proven. But I don't think it follows that we need to accept every axiom someone proposes, such as what counts as a good enough authority. You and I probably agree on the basic existence and persistence of objects, for example, and we might as well pretend that we agreed to treat that as axiomatic ahead of time. I'm less sure that we'd have the same list of which people count as infallible-enough experts in which areas.

I'm really just here to stand up for the body of knowledge I learned in 9th grade Logic Camp. Good old classical Aristotelian logic is where the concept of a "logical fallacy" comes from; it really is all about deductive reasoning and not about inferences; and there really isn't a PhD-from-a-really-good-school exception to the fallacy of argument from authority. Just the same way that "X is false because George Santos said it" is simultaneously very persuasive, at least to me this week; and also a fallacy ad hominem.
Yes, transistor densities are increasing, interconnects are getting denser as well (that's what the "metal pitch" is about). There are also improvements in power consumption.

I imagine there is more use of EUV and surely material compositions are getting tweaks as well.

This is pretty much as it has been for the last couple of decades, though at a somewhat slower rate and with an increasing number of caveats. For example, the density of SRAM has recently been decreasing more slowly than the density of logic. What's particularly tricky are the economics: the cost per transistor isn't really going down much anymore.

I largely agree, minus the "unnatural" part: remote work can co-exist with urban development, and does in many places. The US is somewhat unique in the extent to which it's externalized the costs of non-urban (primarily suburban) living; there's no particular reason (other than difficult politics) why we can't price those externalities in and have both strong cities and remote work for those who want.
Obesity is 'you're going to die an early death because you're overweight'. It is the polar opposite of a healthy weight, but there is a lot of red in the gap. You might not be aware of that? It's one of those uncomfortable truths no one likes talking about. Even Dr's won't usually mention it to patients.

73.6% of American Adults over 20 years old are overweight.
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/obesity-adult-17-18/obe...

26.4% of the American population is not overweight. I didn't correlate to eating disorders resulting in people being under weight - I've seen a decent amount of that too. Probably 5 to maybe even 10%.

I'm struggling to see how that isn't a pretty select cohort that is a healthy weight, no?

Anecdotally, most Americans consider me lean and athletic - I'm a good 20 lbs overweight by reasonable historic standards, but not obese. The overton window has shifted a lot, but our bodies and what is healthy for us are no different.

Did you receive the security? That's income, you owe the IRS money. Did you sell the security and realize a profit? That's also income, you owe the IRS money.

At a macro level it's not hard to understand unless you want to be a special snowflake and pretend this thing you're doing is NEW and DIFFERENT and somehow not income, in which case maybe the IRS doesn't get its cut.

Chances are you're just deluding yourself or are relying on the IRS not coming after you.
When our school started to provide network shares to students, they were pretty lax on security. I figured out that everyone's share was publicly read/writable, and the network path was pretty easy to guess. Whenever someone would annoy me I would replace a project file they were working on with some matter of nuisance program, like a zip bomb or a script that just kept opening word until the system ran out of ram. I'm surprised I never got caught, because I was too much of an idiot to properly cover my tracks.

The Romans definitely did obliterate some cultures, Carthage most prominently - they retrieved some specific books they thought would be useful but burnt everything else. Dacia certainly suffered more than many Roman conquests, its capital was destroyed, huge numbers of slaves were extracted, and there was a huge influx of Romans after it became a province.

Others fared better - obviously Rome was much enamoured of Greek culture, but would have struggled to stamp it out even if it didn't absorb it. Egypt's history was fairly durable in that it was written, widely distributed and well-preserved in the climate of North Africa. Bear in mind that much of what survives about Rome itself is through a series of incredibly lucky events, many of which come down to Rome being the seat of Christendom for so long, which meant texts survived (even as palimpsests) in monasteries etc.

Tacitus gives us a speech by one Calgacus, a British chieftain facing Roman conquest, who probably sums them up quite neatly:

"But there are no tribes beyond us, nothing indeed but waves and rocks, and the yet more terrible Romans, from whose oppression escape is vainly sought by obedience and submission. Robbers of the world, having by their universal plunder exhausted the land, they rifle the deep. If the enemy be rich, they are rapacious; if he be poor, they lust for dominion; neither the east nor the west has been able to satisfy them. Alone among men they covet with equal eagerness poverty and riches. To robbery, slaughter, plunder, they give the lying name of empire; they make a solitude and call it peace."

This is a strawman argument, everyone is aware you can be a normal weight yet in poor health for a number of other reasons. I'm not sure anyone is claiming BMI is the single measure of health, it's just a very easy one to measure that correlates well over a large population.

It took me a bit to realize that what you're referring to as "error code" in many other contexts is "checksum"... this may just be the domain I work in but for me, "error code" usually means an "id that signifies a specific error happened"

Another thought is that UUID V4 (which is the most common UUID implementation I've seen in the wild) also does not have a checksum. Though I think in general a checksum is probably a good idea if you want to help prevent people from mistyping the code or an optical reader from making an error.
Is this basically suggesting that all SIDS are essentially suffocation (or close to that?)
> doubly so when those tools are battle-tested and looked over by actual experts.

The "actual experts" part is where I trip over this. What is the standard in this context?

I've written a lot of software that utilizes cryptographic primitives in a wide variety of business contexts. Does this make me an expert? Or, do I need some special piece of paper that says I have permission to conduct cryptographic implementation business? If so, where do I obtain this?

I thought this whole comment thread was a matter of the "actual experts" not being who they claimed to be.

Switching to Keepass, 1password, et. al. is just continuation of the same madness in my view.
> The scariest part was it was a backup of theirs that was stolen.

I knew it was a backup, but I don't recall seeing anywhere how old it was. Do we have any more information?

My data was confirmed deleted by them mid last year when I moved to BitWarden, and I'm hoping the backup was older. If not then I'm in the unfortunate position of being at greater risk than those who signed up more recently. I need to change everything anyway just in case, but knowing more would help with peace of mind. I used them for so many years I probably only had the 5,000 (or maybe even the 500) iteration config they never once mentioned.
I'm not a doctor but it doesn't look highly risky. The usual adult dose for malaria is 2000 mg over the course of two days. Long term usage may be a different matter.

I think this is a cultural problem. There is no reason why you can’t pair or engage with people just as effectively in a remote setup.

Hi! I'm the VP of Engineering at PlanetScale and was at the company when we made this decision.

We had the advantage of being able to decide to do this up front when we were first building the current product. The marginal work for this was nearly zero because we did not have to migrate anything existing, we just decided to address our resources using this strategy. In that way, there was nothing procrastinated -we just decided this was a good idea, and did it.

I can speak from firsthand experience, however, how useful it is to be able to copy/paste links and references to resources. It makes support, collaboration and work much easier when you can easily share links to resources.
Is there any way you think the software could have corrected this?

This has nothing to do with proprietary software. Sublime Text, for instance, is proprietary software, but there is zero lock-in because it operates on plain text files. This argument is invalid.

I’m not being glib, I was trying to be helpful. Open source shouldn’t be gate kept, if the person writing that wants to help and the patches that are accepted, what’s the issue? Or, do you think a formal CS degree and multiple years of industry experience should be required to submit to open source, so the maintainers don’t have to waste a couple minutes reviewing and commenting on substandard work?

That is certainly one way to treat someone willing to do free labor in service of something the maintainers love, but I don’t think it’s a positive way. If open source is to continue and grow, it will always need a fresh set of people to work on it, and bringing those people along is part of the work of shepherding an open source project, in my opinion.

IMO, the year is 2022, almost 2023. Trying to do POSIX sh is tying both arms behind your back. Set the shebang to #!/bin/bash, and now you've got at least got only one arm tied behind your back.

If your environment somehow lacks bash, consider that the bug, and get bash.

Or, untie both arms, and use a language that's not going to take every opportunity to stab you in the back with subtle idiocies dating from the last millennium.

(But I do agree that, if you're going to put down a bash-ism, it's bash, not POSIX sh.)
It's a great idea. I think it's one part of a great tool that would give excel a real run for its money. If you can create, populate and reference tables, I think you'd have a real winner.

Maybe if you compare it to open source. But if you consider that many of these algorithms were historically invented by a private company and kept private / proprietary as a competitive advantage I think the fact OpenAI puts no unreasonable restrictions on who can use it makes it fairly "open"

That's the one that led me to him; popped up in my recommendations one day.

My favourite was actually the first one. I had a lot of fun thinking about how to do this with different protocols + ECC in a way that would let you use this as a sort of secret storage that goes away unless you refresh it in n days or so.

Not saying I got anywhere, but it was fun to think about!
Ditto - I'm part of the sausage making process for these things and anyone who takes them serious (who's not a vendor trying to earn points with their pointy headed management) is a fool.
Look at FinFET transistors; this is the style of MOSFET currently employed at the smallest scales that I know of; This is what started calling the feature size of the process node smaller and smaller past 24nm- at least for recent processes, the smallest parts of the "fin" were getting down in the 10-7nm range, and smaller.... but this isn't the size of the whole transistor, it needs multiple fins on either side to make the gate structure. So this was what happened when we end from talking about MOSFET feature size to the single-digit process node sizes that are essentially marketing terms now verses actual gate size.

There are actual density increases do to the packing of these type of FinFETs vs. more traditional MOSFETS. Thus the efficiency gains that have been happening. Among other reasons.

Or at least that is my understanding.

> Note that "leaky gut syndrome" is pseudoscience; there's no such thing recognized by the medical community. What is real is leaky gut, or intestinal permeability.

This seems like oversubtle reasoning that cruelly dismisses legitimate suffering from an actual disease process.

You seem to admit there's a convincing scientific basis.

Leaky gut syndrome is pseudoscience but intestinal permeability is real? Ok. It seems like medical science isn't advanced enough to sort out most gut disease, it manifests in somewhat strange and seemingly mysterious ways, and people suffering are left to discuss amongst themselves online in order to find some relief after being shrugged away by doctors (or worse hurt by inappropriate medical procedures/medicines like antibiotics, etc.).

So instead of just condescendingly labelling them anti-science whackos ("pseudoscience"), perhaps we should be compassionate and recognize the condition?
Until three years ago, the last time I touched javascript was when jquery was all the rage. I had been a security engineer for my whole career, but recently ive been building a security product (with js, obviously) and it has been blowing my mind the state of everything.

Most security products are just lighter fluid on the tire fire that is "vulnerability management" and has gotten to the point (as the post pointed out) where reports are doing more harm than good.

I had seen something like this coming since when I was starting out in security the meritocracy surrounding collecting CVEs was very real for vuln researchers. It isn't their fault, it is just really difficult to prove your worth as someone who is seen as a cost center to a company. Additionally, if you don't actually find a vulnerability, are you a bad security researcher? Is the app actually secure? There is a lot that is left on the table if you can't get that CVE number and proving your worth to the security community becomes challenging.

My company and I are all security experts spending all of our time figuring out how to flip the script on current reporting and response practices.
