I know all of my passwords, I don't reuse passwords, and I chose from the very beginning to never rely on auto-generated passwords. I would be fine without any kind of password manager.

You are making a lot of generalizations about how people interact with passwords. I don't have a single Yubikey, I use Aegis on android that allows me to generate codes and self manage backups of my 2FA secrets. It even supports DUO 2F, but I don't mess with DUO accounts because they are hotp and not totp so you will run into sync issues if your aren't careful. I do have the secret key backed up though.

My passwords are something I know. More importantly, even if you use a password manager, your master password is still something you know in the eyes of the law. That covers all passwords that are accessed using a master password as something you know. That's the whole point of multifactor, the second factor is irrelevant without the first. I could surrender all of the 2F secrets and it still wouldn't matter because a password is something I know.

Not knowing your passwords is a choice, which you are free to make, I made the opposite choice. I can understand not wanting to remember every password, but it's worth creating self chosen passwords for the critical accounts like google, microsoft, github, and financials, in my opinion. I use biometrics for my mobile OS, but biometrics are only enabled after first unlocking the phone with the pin/password. I use a traditional password for my pc.

Not OP but the last couple releases of Nomad have added quite a few QoL features without having to reach for/or setup Consul or Vault depending on your needs. At least in regard to basic service discovery and secrets management.

I'm unsure if something like open policy agent can directly work with the orchestrator and may have to be at the application level.

But in React you never need to deep clone the object? The same principles apply to all the same breed of framework btw, vue/angular etc only updates what you r updating. You are supposed to make a new reference of the object but the fields of would be of the old references except the field you want to update. If you are deep cloning the whole thingy then the performance is actually worse because you r doing unnecessary updates. You could use spread operator to easily make a new object reference. Nowadays you have immerjs to do the grunt work for you

Pretty nice domain, would've worked great as a URL shortener to be honest.
Again, I am not asking for specific explanations. The grandparent comment gave a theory as to why vaccines in general have become fodder for public outrage, when those same arguments against them work for other things that are common, with the outlier being 'needles'.

The parent comment said 'it's not needles, don't insult me! it is because this specific vaccine is [same argument against other things which aren't outrage fodder and not addressing any of the other established vaccines which are subject to outrage]. '

It did nothing to explain away the needle aspect except 'needle phobia is uncommon', which explains nothing since a phobia is DSM classified as a 'disorder' and an 'aversion to needles' wouldn't count.

Thanks for telling me about yourself, though. It was interesting.
Good data point - thanks.

You’re probably right there’s a magnitude more tiny apps but who cares. A large number of us still are interested in and need to solve for non-trivial cases.
As far as I know there is no way in JavaScript to copy a function with its closure, so fundamentally writing a perfect cloning algorithm in JavaScript is not possible.

This is nonsense. Emergency care, accessible to all, is practically magic compared to that time. And preventative care largely wasn’t a thing.
You said "The same people who refuse the vaccine take unknown substances in 'supplements' which have no regulation at all. It makes no sense. Explain it." I replied to that point directly.

The "outrage over vaccines and not other things" is in part because the mrna vaccines are new technology. People are hesitant to try something totally new on themselves.
ArcGIS online is absolutely not an alternative to ArcGIS Pro. Not even close. Nobody spending more than a small amount of time using GIS beyond being an end user is going to find online a worthy replacement for Pro. It's a publishing platform with a few analytical tools that each cost credits to run, not a spatial sciences package. Online is good for data capture and integration, but not for someone who wants to perform regular or more complex analytics.

There are currently no plans to rewrite ArcgGIS pro for M1 mac hardware according to ESRI. The move to Pro should have made it much easier to do, but its still a huge task.

The ESRI community have recently had a lot of success with M1/2 hardware, Parallels 17+, Windows 11 arm, and ArcGIS Pro. Just note that you won't be making 3d videos with it comfortably. Everything else seems to be working very well.
The drug in the article is roflumilast, which seems to share some structure with the nootropic ampakine CX-546. I've never consumed that, but I've had some experience with IDRA-21 doing something like what the article describes, such as having vivid dreams of minor chart hits from decades ago that I'd previously gone a long time without being reminded of.
It's not about drawing the line, it's about quantifying the impact.

I think this is what people don't get about the study. The study is not saying no one should drink. It's not saying that the risks of drinking outweigh the benefit. It's saying that for any amount of alcohol, ingesting it, on aggregate, decreases life expectancy. Nothing more. It's a measurement of the increase of risk, which can then be combined and contrasted with other measurements and help make informed decisions.

You draw the line however you want. You now have more information to make that decision.

> that also earnestly argues that Pfizer and the FDA literally rigged the election

I just read the article you're referring to [1] and the headline is clearly an exaggeration, not meant to be taken literally. Nobody "rigged an election", Pfizer temporarily suppressed news about the vaccine's effectiveness because they worried it could sway the election. I can't speak to the article's precise accuracy, but it's certainly not unreasonable that a company would choose to delay announcing certain news in order to avoid being accused of taking sides in an election (whether or not that would ultimately turn out to be a good idea or not). As journalism goes, the article seems pretty normal.

So you accept some of the risks involved, but get some precautions, because it's not smart to risk without any benefit.

People do the same thing with alcoholic beverages, they drink them, but they are not trying to kill themselves when they do it, usually.

So, for example, it they have to drive, they do not drink.

If they are good, they stop drinking.

They do not, in other words, abuse of it.

because people take care of themselves, there's no kind A people who live and prosper and kind B who are suicidal and do not care at all.

We are all mostly self preserving animals.

Also, risk of cancer before and after the 40s, it's a completely different beast.

We can safely say that at 19 the risk of getting a cancer on average is almost zero.

So age plays a big role too, much bigger than people imagine.

I very much disagree the sentiment that adding mTLS is just “verifying the certificate on the other end of the connection”. You ignore the process of distribution and rotation of certificates which is non-trivial to implement application side.
You are spot on. I'm a middle-class student who played the game to get into one of the six schools mentioned in this article. It was immediately obvious that the "diversity" of my school came from a large number of dual citizens living a life of luxury and privilege. Racial quotas were a red carpet for the international elite who spoke the same language and shared the same life experiences regardless of their race, whether they came from anti-Democratic countries or upstate New York. These same individuals got special platforms to talk about adversity while I went to bed hungry. I am grateful for the financial aid that was given to me, and I will always appreciate the large endowment that supported this, but I hope the admissions system gets exposed for what it is.
A series of well administered rapid antigen tests is more useful than PCR.

Just waiting a couple days after symptoms abate is also going to bring most of the benefit of testing for clearance.
the laffer curve is an abstraction, a thought experiment with no axis labelling, and no understanding of whether the axes scales are linear or not. it is therefore completely useless when it comes to making policy, because it provides absolutely no information on whether an X% tax will increase or decrease revenues. there are possible (imaginary) scenarios where the actual shape of the curve will result in increasing tax revenues up to above 90% taxation, and others where revenues drop with anything above 0% taxation. nothing about the concept of "decreasing returns to scale on taxation" is quantitative, and it is therefore essentially useless. I mean, sure, you can make the theoretical argument that "surely above some level of taxation, any further increase will result in decreased revenues", but since it is impossible to know what that level is, the argument is pointless.
The MMR vaccines are not mRNA. You are completely missing the point. See my other comment in this thread if you want a specific breakdown.
I vouched this out of dead because it was an intriguing story. I'm not really sure the resulting discussion will be productive, but it is at least ostensibly a thought-provoking piece regarding culture in academia whose author seems to be an earnest person. The publication may be crap, but I guess a story like this may have trouble finding a publication willing to run it, given that it is naturally going to be controversial.
As a hiring manager who has a number of contractors, having a handful of vendors we work with, with a limited number of timesheet approval systems, invoicing, etc makes life easier for me. If we can bring another contractor on the same terms as the last one (so we don’t need to get legal involved), same payment systems, knowing that insurance is adequate takes a bunch of work out of my day.

It doesn’t have to be a big body shop - most recruiters have a contractor management platform with timesheets and invoices. At the start of last year one of my QA team moved overseas with her family, and we were keen to keep her on, so we hooked her up with one of her favourite recruiters to sign her on as a contractor. The overhead we pay recruiters for contractors is considerably less than a bodyshop.

Onboarding new vendors is a massive pain in the bum for enterprise-grade companies - there’s a bunch of work that needs to happen around proving bank accounts, business credit checks, etc - it makes sense to avoid that by using known vendors when all else is equal.

His point is that the decision depends on what you are trying to do. Running prod database, bad idea. Letting developers or automation spin up ephemeral databases, good use case.

The idea that k8s and vms are the same is that neither handles day 2/3 issues for you and both methods require a lot of expertise. i.e. deploying on a VM doesn't solve the hard parts either

Honest question, where does this happen? If you are buying a house, the solicitor or whoever is dealing with legal/deed etc will ask where the money came from, don't they?

Let's say a new Kubernetes version comes out in April. In November, as everything works perfectly well, you decide to install a Postgres operator on it. Bummer, it doesn't work.

This is the kind of reason people should be writing blog posts for! Not for chasing engagement and getting dissatisfied with the viewer analytics ("no one's reading, what's the point?"). Ironically, reading this instantly made me subscribe to the author's newsletter.

Quoting what I said in a comment a year ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28592353):

Indeed! I fear that it will end up an order of magnitude higher. Just looking at the types of buildings collapsed, hearing the next day that they'd already counted 7,000 collapsed buildings, and then "tens of thousands" of collapsed buildings a day later; IDK the current count. Even if we estimate an average of only 10 people per building, which seems low for multistory apartment buildings at a time when almost everyone is home sleeping, the coming numbers are likely to be horrific. Hard to even think about.

This is "older" tech so the installed base is (was?) large.

In the past I found out if you use "level" in the format string it will output signal strength type data that you can analyze. It is not rocket surgery to store a DB row consisting of timestamp, id, and signal strength of all RX'd packets, then make a dashboard of how many unique IDs you hear over a ten minute period or whatever.

My hope was to detect 70 cm ham radio band openings (tropo ducts and the like) Wow did that never work. It was a good idea and fun but did not work at all. I repurposed the hardware into something else and moved on. Its possible that with different antennas or longer term project or something, who knows. The software, as in the article's link, worked fine however.

If you'd like to try another frustrating IoT experiment, try monitoring all the tire pressure monitor systems that drive by your house using roughly the same hardware and similar software. IIRC I ran out of patience with that one. Sounded like fun after I saw a YT video on the topic... The good news is each tire on the road (by 2023 anyway) has a unique 32 bit ID, IIRC anyway, the bad news is the range was scarcely better than "a car length" away. If you've ever driven your car over the machine with the hoses the DOT puts out to count cars along a road for planning purposes, I thought I could replicate that kind of data by sniffing and analyzing TPMS data, but the range is WAY too low for the low repetition rate of the transmissions. I guess you could just gather data wirelessly for years at a time, but ... Maybe you could make parking meters really smart by listening for the tires parked at the meter, or track super expensive private parking, or an electric charger could pre-load the new user by sniffing the new user's tire transmitters. Or my garage door could automatically open if and only if my car is at the door. However the transmission rate is too low for most door opener level of patience.
