> What do you mean? I sometimes use Teams on an AD-joined computer, and the multiple-account situation is beyond absurd.

Ah, no, I mean, if you're using it for your corporate account on your AD-joined computer. These things usually have a single (work) account.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was never meant to be multiple-account, and that was just half-added as an afterthought at some point.
I'm not a big fan of hiding my traffic from youtube, twitter, medium et al by sending all my traffic to https://farside.link.

For what it's worth, I have simply used the picker function of uBlock Origin to remove the comments, sidebars and search bar, then turned off autoplay. I am never logged in (I don't have an account) and don't 'browse' via the main page, just tend to follow links from Twitter and Reddit. Now it's a pure video service with no distractions.

You can get a very long way with the uBlock picker. For example on Twitter I have blocked all the not-logged-in popups, all the engagement metrics (likes, views) and the search bar.

Another random tip, turn off suggestions/autocomplete for the URL bar of your browser. It forces me to type the whole URL of any site I want to visit, and stops me idly 'browsing' my history through the autocomplete.
Reminds me of that priceless paragraph from Michael Collins' autobiography about how the Air Force sent their astronaut candidates to a "charm school" in order to increase their chances of being selected by NASA, where among other things they learned how to correctly hold their hands on their hips:

"… in my opinion, the apogee of the course was surely reached the day we learned how to hold our hands on our hips (doesn’t anyone learn anything at home any more?). Thumbs forward, ladies! Thumbs to the rear, gentlemen! To reverse would not only be gauche (perhaps even worse) but, of course, would result in instant detection and rejection by NASA, the old meanies. I have studied this matter exhaustively in later years, and have found burly construction workers with thumbs forward and mincing fairies with thumbs aft, but then they obviously are not charm-school grads."

> what point are you making beyond a potential ad hominem?

I guess I'm guilty of the exact same sin most math authors commit: I naively assumed that the readers of my post have the intellectual means to get to the obvious conclusion without crutches.

> so it's not clear to me that having Python code would benefit anyone

Please read my answer (and thanks) to the author where he addresses my complaint and does indeed publish the code (top of thread).

TL;DR: there are many (I'd wager most) people who vastly prefer reading code to reading obtuse abstract math papers written using specialized math jargon.

There is huge value in publishing your findings as code:

. it can be *understood* by people who happen not to live in your ivory tower and might neither be able to parse the language, the symbols, the "what is considered trivial by the author and not worth mentioning in the paper". Code is clear, unambiguous, down to earth and leaves no stone unturned.

. code can be *verified* by a machine, which goes a long way to prove that your entire paper isn't a giant pile of BS.

You jumped to conclusions that the code wasn't worth publishing because it isn't practical/efficient etc... You entirely missed the point. Code explains ideas clearly. Math papers very rarely do.
Not a Google case, but I heard that a principal or distinguished engineer was laid off from Meta. They pushed some unpopular technical bets which turned out to be very costly for the org. This is a typical "I told you so" story. And there had to be someone accountable for the failure. I guess this could be something similar... or not.
That is unlucky.

The difference is that a lot more thought went into it. Not only that, the presidents domain of expertise and distinction/authority is about these issues. You way down your options, you navigate a complex issue with many factors involved. To prevent more death and suffering was indeed what was one of the most contributing factors of Roosevelts decisions (also to use it, as a direct assault on Japan would have cost a factor more in lives and suffering for both Japan the US)

The difference is of course a well thought out weighing of options, to feel into the issue and make your choice. Taking my immediate surroundings, a lot of people don’t engage in that level of philosophy. Knee jerk reactions are still very common in our species.

Yes, it is to externalise your locus of control. This has been shown to result in bad outcomes regarding all kinds of things, including obesity, overall health, psychological well-being, academic, and professional success. Self-victimisation is not a good thing at all, and should not be encouraged.
> The Russian army seems laughably weak and I highly doubt it will (conventionally) ever be remotely dangerous to the rest of Europe.

When I was in high school I used to be worried about the Russians invading the UK, until my neighbour got a Lada. The damn thing was never off my driveway, with various combinations of burnt contact breaker points, cracked distributor cap, burst hoses, sticky choke or throttle, broken valve springs (they were fun, you can do them without taking the head off with a big screwdriver and a bit of rope), and all sorts of other bollocks.

Skip forwards 30-odd years, and the Russians are invading their neighbour in trucks and tanks that can barely go 100km without rotten tyres splitting, track guides failing and throwing the track, gearboxes failing, engines failing, or just plain running out of (poor quality, dirty and watery) diesel.

Folk in the UK opposed to nuclear disarmament are saying "Oh you're doing Putin's job for him, hope you're going to like speaking Russian".

Yeah, now how exactly do you see that happening? Putin's going to ship over a load of emaciated barefooted teenagers with 120-year-old rifles to beg for a drum of diesel and a loan of my tractor? I doubt it...

Do you have links to the evidence? Not trying to be snarky. Genuine question. I wish to see more research and data in this space.
C was created to write Unix on PDP-11 hardware. Prior to that operating systems were typically written in assembler. C was seen as a high level assembler and only later ported to other hardware.

Realistically, C should have been restricted for writing operating systems and device drivers. It is far too low-level for application programming. But since it was often the only portable high level language, software vendors adopted it for purposes that it was never designed to handle. That was partly the reason that C++ and Objective C emerged.
What is the benefit of cash you never use?
Cars are actually a decent application for voice controls - you can do a wide range of functions without having to hunt-browse (especially the more complex infotainment / navigation functions), and you don't need to take either your eyes or hands off the task of driving.

You can simply say "navigate me to such-and-such", or "turn off the display", or whatever, tasks which would otherwise involve several steps and be much more distracting.

Sure, but there's a value in delaying that development. Delaying harm is a valid tactic.

You can actually just hand pollinate them, as long as you have a caprifig tree. There are lots of tutorials on YouTube. It’s starting to take off as a trend among cold weather growers in places like New England.
Tcpdump is a unique codebase, has its own flaws/issues, and most certainly can be vulnerable, even if the overall stack is not.

Run nothing as root, unless absolutely required. And this had nothing to do with C or rust, running rust based software, any software as root, when not required,is unnecessary, and risky as well.

Nothing is safe. Behave that way, or you do your oeg, and yourself, wrong. And its not OK to treat a dev env as fine to get compromised.

Many orgs get borked by someone taking over dev machines, or infra, and sliding in that way.
As you can't enforce stopping development of it, it is better to also develop it to understand it better and create countermeasures like ml which detects deepfakes.

This also leads potentially to more or better image/video signing Technologie.

And yes just because someone develops this in the open doesn't mean that someone else is not developing it in parallel but hidden.
I'm not convinced that there's any substantial difference between the two.
> Well, yeah but they have nuclear weapons so that limits the amount the West can do to help.

It doesn't limit it, it makes it risky. How big of a risk is questionable and depends on wether you think Russia will risk MAD over Ukraine which personally I think is ridiculous. I don't think the Russian leadership have deluded themselves into thinking that they are in the right - they are doing this because they think they can.

If the west had the balls to send actual support from day one then Russia might have pulled out quite soon. Instead it seems NATO wants to use Ukraine to wear down Russia. Good for NATO perhaps but I'm not entirely convinced this drip feed of weapons is actually helping Ukrainians - their losses aren't publicised but they are definitely not small.

https://masto.host is a managed hosting provider for Mastodon instances.

Surprised someone hasn't spun up a hosting provider for Akkoma instances - it's a lot easier than Mastodon to install and manage. (Or even GotoSocial which is even easier but a bit more picky in its ActivityPub implementation.)

Takahe looks only slightly easier than Mastodon - you need two Docker instances, for example, one of which is just running background jobs? Akkoma has all that built-in!

Data Analyst/Data Generalist

I'm a problem solver with a passion for uncovering insights through ecommerce data and other distinct industries. Skilled in creating impactful dashboards with Google Data Studio (and Looker), I support stakeholders and empower data-based decision making.

While not a specialist, I have a strong interest in machine learning. I have extensive experience performing and automating data cleaning, ETL, etc. on Google Cloud Platform (including Cloud Run and Cloud Functions).

I am currently pursuing a Master's in Computer Science, with a focus on social networks, music, and data science.
Neat. Guessing a similar trick could be used to make UI testing, i.e. less brittle version of Selenium etc ...
Just a side note on Anki - it sounds cool, but how is it possible that there are zero screenshots on the product page? Furthermore, it has a super busy (/intimidating-to-non-techies) download section, and the only real descriptive text is on the linked docs/help site, which is so dense that it is completely overwhelming to anybody who is still in "convince me" mode.

The project would probably have 10x the number of users in 6 months if they learned how to do product marketing.

Good. We don’t need that "alternative education" platform nor in US nor in EU. People self diagnosing or following diet guides for their babies which puts them in death risk, is exactly what benefits China and their friend ruzzia.
Reads like a good intro into how beamforming works. One detail I found dubious is this part about bigger antennas:

> To stretch our non-mathematical metaphor well beyond its breaking point, a "bigger sphere" will contain more signal as well as more noise, so just expanding the size of your region doesn't affect the SNR. That's why, and I'm very sorry about this, a bigger antenna actually doesn't improve your reception at all.

In my understanding that is incomplete because it ignores amp noise. When your antenna is larger, you get more signal (yes including more noise), so you need to amplify it less before the signal can be sampled. That means less amplification noise and the effective SNR is better. Thus antenna gain, not just antenna directionality, will improve reception.
I’m a big fan of Rust, and am currently working on a major Rust project, but I don’t think it’s currently a viable replacement for most Java apps, nor is it really intended to be.

If anything Go is closer to fitting that bill, if only because of its traditional garbage collection. Applications written in Java by definition aren’t too concerned with memory management, and Rust is objectively a step backwards for them.

Rust is a more credible replacement for C++, but there I think it will be fighting inertia. Many C++ devs are actively against changing languages. I’ve also seen people “writing C++ in Rust”, using unsafe everywhere so they don’t have to figure out how to design their code to fit Rust’s model. You then end up with a kind of worst of both worlds.
The fig wasp is tiny, like a millimeter. Actually the absolute majority of all wasps are - we think of a sizeable hornet when we hear "wasp" but those are the mythical giants of that world.

Unless you go really looking for it, you wouldn't even see the fig wasp. If there was a visible wasp it's likely something that was simply feeding on it.
In many but definitely not a general trend that you can't find a nice spot to eat outdoors. Even in very crowded cities like Paris you have tons of options to eat by the street and enjoy a pleasant experience.

Barcelona, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Paris, Madrid, Lisbon, Porto, Copenhagen, so on and so forth are all cities I thoroughly enjoy to eat outdoors during summers, in almost any part of the cities, and not only in their "historical centres".

It's definitely not even close to the same issue as in North American cities.
For people that are hyper competitive and ambitious, it's a way to tackle more and bigger challenges. Fine.

I agree that hyper competitive and ambitious people might do this. I would add though that curious and passionate people will also do this.

I'll be honest... if I weren't getting paid to be a software engineer I'd do it for free. Like I did when I was 13 years old with my 300 bps modem creating a BBS program.

This leads me to do all kinds of crazy things like work 6 hours on a Saturday because I am quite simply fascinated about the level of engineering I can do to turn an 18 hour batch process into 4.

It's been extremely lucrative for my career. I'm fortunate to work somewhere that is truly pay for performance. But not in a million years is that why I do it.
German health insurers can price insurance based on health conditions? Wow.

>Private insurance is great if you get it young enough, and without pre existing stuff, and get good conditions concerning premium increases with age.

What does this mean? Premiums (or premium increases) for life are determined when the health insurance policy is originally issued?
There are plenty of other arguments to make:

While it's already surprisingly good and useful, it still is often not good enough. And we could hit a celling faster than we hope.

I wish more of these extensions shipped as userscripts, where you don't need to trust the extensions themselves too much.

I removed SponsorBlock recently after learning how petty the people controlling it can be. There's a video about USB4 by LTT that involves a sponsored laptop, and SponsorBlock contributors meticulously added segments for every time the name or specs of the laptop are mentioned, sometimes less than a second long. I thought my BT headphones had a problem several times.

I want a sponsor blocking tool that gets rid of segments that waste my time, not segments where the extension author wanted to deny a sponsor the satisfaction of knowing they were involved with a video by meticulously expunging every trace of them, with the end goal seemingly being to make a sponsored video look like normal editorial content.

Next they'll add black bars on the laptop logos and subtitle censorship (the author of Sponsorblock actually said the later was a real planned feature)
