> England, Scotland, and Wales all have Unicode flags. So do British Overseas territories (e.g UK Virgin Islands) and crown dependencies (e.g. Jersey). As do US Territories (e.g. Puerto Rico).

With the exception of England, Scotland and Wales, all of that’s just due to following ISO 3166-1, which covers both countries and significant external territories; you might say that it treats the layer as if they were in some sense similar to the former. Sticking to 3166-1 excuses the Unicode Consortium from getting involved in the politically fraught question of which countries to recognise.

National subdivisions such as the countries of the UK or the states of the US are ISO 3166-2. 3166-2 flags, including US state ones, are in Unicode, but they are non-RGI-meaning vendors are permitted to implement them, but neither required nor recommended to do so, and users should not expect them to be supported except on specific platforms or configurations.

What about England, Scotland and Wales? I think there is a justification for that inconsistency: they are considered to be “countries” (including by 3166-2), even if “countries-within-a-country”. This is not purely a linguistic thing-some international sporting competitions treat them as separate countries, and they have lengthy histories of independence. By contrast, almost nobody considers US states to be “countries”, most never have been independent countries, and even the few of those who have been independent have almost all been so briefly (a few decades at most) rather than for many centuries. Hawaii arguably comes closest to qualifying, but very few Americans would call its contemporary incarnation a “country”. And note that Northern Ireland’s flag is non-RGI, but 3166-2 does not officially classify it as a “country”, and calling it that is politically extremely controversial (it appeals to some Unionists/Loyalists, but offends Nationalists/Republicans.)
I would like to know what it's citations were.
No one group defines society. It's fair to say men hold a disproportionate amount of power, and its admirable to acknowledge your own privilege as you are doing here, but it's critical to not start believing that the cultural narrative du jour is somehow the ground truth. The minute we do this, we feed political polarization between genuinely good people, and open the door for liars and sociopaths to manipulate us like herd animals to their own ends.
Two of the major projects in the list of cosigners on this are the OWASP Top 10 project and ASVS, which are the two big educational projects at OWASP.

I don't especially love either of those projects, but they're arguably the two most important things OWASP works on outside of the conferences. The Top 10 project can't really leave OWASP (ASVS could).

ZAP is the only other project there that I think is all that important to the identity of OWASP itself, but it should just go find its own sponsorship anyways. People like ZAP, but the industry standard is Burp Suite; Burp is Microsoft Office to ZAP's... LibreOffice? Like all the software freedom stuff aside, if you're a professional, you use Word.
Lol python is the king of these types of errors. People chose the unsafe because it’s easy when we know types are one of the best tools engineers can have.
“Automatic Behaviors”
This isn’t particularly surprising to me. I’m a scientist, and in my field, women have outnumbered men in my undergraduate and graduate programs, and also in every lab I’ve worked in as a professional.

The hard sciences haven’t had the gender imbalance currently seen in engineering and tech jobs for decades now.
Valid complaint, but maybe not such a great reason.

It gets worse when you deal with sysfs or procfs and similar. It all becomes obscure magic, like what values can be written into what file, why some files aren't readable, or the contents of files being just a bunch of numbers which you have no way of interpreting.

Another problem is that there's way too many of different file types and they aren't organized into any kind of hierarchy or any other meaningful order. This makes tools like rsync extremely complicated, with loads of footguns and still not solving the problem well. It feels especially bitter because in exceeding majority of cases you don't want tools like rsync to deal with named FIFO or device files or sockets etc. but you get accidentally but painfully bitten by them every now and then.
The fix was probably just a rollback to the previous version.

I'm surprised too. I would have thought the take-off system would incorporate some sort of feedback about how close the tail was to touching the ground and either tell the pilot or correct for it and tell the pilot.
You can't post this here it's sexist and against the rules. It is, however, not sexist at all to say women are intellectually superior to men. But both sentences have the same underlying meaning, just one conveys the meaning through subtle absurdity.

Cash fills in society's all-too-common edge cases.
Coercion was never a factor in the law. Even if you wanted your fingerprints taken, you can still sue them for taking it without consent. It is a restriction put into place to enforce a practice.

Another example would be medicine, even if you took medicine knowing possible side effects, the maker of the medicine is still culpable if they don't follow FDA rules.

You can't say consent was implied when the law is telling you a definition of what viable consent is in a specific way. You can't just ignore the law and make excuses or blame the employees. On their part, they only have to prove that fingerprints were taken and consent was not. If you are they can just quit, then the entire point of the law is sl they won't have to and instead punish the company.

Moving the momentum update before the parameter update changes the algorithm from LION to SignSGD. The only novel part of their algorithm is the fact that the momentum changes after the update is computed. They are not equivalent even if you can choose coefficients however you like. But as I said, if I had to guess I would say that this does not cause a fundamental change in the behavior of the optimization.
Are you a single mother? If so perhaps he is just looking for a male role model that tells him he is valued as a man and that its ok to be strong? Sometimes kids look for a stereotypically male role model. Someone that represents strength. I'm not defending all the bile that Tate puts out but dude is a well known figure that advocates for men to be manly. On the other hand, maybe he was just checking him out due to curiosity.
I am working on something like it. It's a specialized, immutable Linux os that blends networking, nas and containers.

We found that even with a web GUI, containers are just too complicated for the typical user "that knows nothing about containers".

Even with a GUI, no matter how nice it is, you need to learn about env vars, port mappings, cni networks, bridging, volume mounts, images, tags, host isolation, etc etc..

Our solution is to wrap apps into pre-packaged recipes. Pretty big trade-off of course, but it makes the installation and management completely fool-proof afterwards.

> is closed regarding inmigration comparing it to, say, Canada.

Is this a joke? The US went from 83.5% white in 1970, to 57.8% in 2020 [1], mainly due to immigration. How many other countries can you point to where the former majority population went from overwhelming majority, to the brink of minority status, in 60 years - less than a lifetime?

If this is "closed", then what on earth would be needed to be called "open"??

That was that Sinclair media thing. The fact that they have independent teams serving many smaller markets gave it away. If (say) CNN were to do the same thing, they could probably reach an even bigger audience with one guy reading the script, which can't be exposed with a supercut.

I fully agree with you for 100%. Personally, I don't mind the home gesture and although I sometimes get annoyed by weird gestures that I never knew I can deal with it.

But, seeing my parents get anxious with their new ipad because they cannot reliably go back to the home screen, their "safe" environment, it makes me sad.

Historical figures might have views considered problematic by some..

How censored are their views?
Yeah definitely seeing how far I can push textarea! Not sure it’s smart and the one issue I haven’t solved is the block indents on editing. But it’s ok. Still have the occasional or semi frequent rendering error when tags interfere. Hoping to stay away from content editable and any complicated editors. I use js to measure the width of spaces to set up pre so the two layers line up.
As someone else already wrote, Constitutions tend to be reinterpreted - see all the controversies in US on several Amendments and the lack of meaning of "not infringe" these days.
Do you have anything at all to back that up? It makes some sense as a story I suppose.
To a greater extend than any other cashless payment system since it isn't controlled by a single entity and has by now proven it is censorship resistent. People are getting more and more educated on censorship issues and the UX continues to get better and better.

Like for many things before, gaming is likely to lead the path for more adoption, the tokenomy has been a thing for many years there now and crypto nicely provides the infrastructure for building a token system on that already. networks with low fees are there and smart contracts can even be written in JavaScript, with companies providing transaction gateways etc etc etc.

At this point anyone doubting crypto has continuously be gaining legit adoption must be blind or in denial.

Developer tooling and ecosystem getting better and better, the whole crypto crashes aren't putting a dent to that.

All it takes is more absurdity from a government for a spike in adoption. See Argentina and Nigeria.

It is already popular for legit purposes, except that the news rarely report it, it makes better title to say some group is laundering crime money using Bitcoin.
I find the TrackPad haptic is excellent. It feels exactly like the old physical press. It's a bit weird, when the pad is off, and pressing does nothing, but, as long as it's on, it feels fine.

The Watch crown also feels good.

I do agree that the haptic Home button on my iPhone 8 (I keep it for testing) feels weird and wimpy, but I suspect the reason why, is their obsession with thin.

It's entirely possible to make haptics feel exactly like analog controls, but their behavior is software-defined, and can be odd as hell.
I still don't think it feels as good as a real switch, the only benefit is you get a sort of overall meh feeling that works over the whole trackpad surface vs. a good click that only works well at the bottom. This is an okay trade on a giant trackpad but for a tiny button it's not great. It was even more obvious on haptic home buttons that it's not quite right.
For Linux, I haven't used VSCode for debugging myself, just `gdb --tui`. Since VSCode supports driving gdb I would think everything would work fine.

For Windows, I used to debug Rust using Visual Studio (not Code) without problems, because Windows binaries built for the windows-msvc target generate regular .pdb files that VS can work with regardless of the source language.

Both VS and gdb have a problem where the representation of Rust values when printed / watched is funky, especially with enums, because the Rust type gets translated into C terms. But it's not unworkable.
There used to be places where they had Doom running in something similar to a lightbox (At SARA Amsterdam). The game was basically projected on 3 planes (left, right, front). The box/cube would be something like 2m - 3m cubed, and you would stand in the middle. I've never had the privilege of actual playing. I think this is why the 90 degree angle is in such a way.

So basically a a real-life 3d skybox, if you're familiar with 3d-engine terms [1]

Total newb here, but according to Stroustrup, the whole point of programming is so you don't have to know everything. You're responsible for:

A. Understanding relevant computing fundamentals

B. Understanding the interfaces to code you use

C. Writing reliable implementations and documenting them well

D. Writing useful and appropriate interfaces for your implementations

In a perfect world, this creates a nice chain where every programmer only needs to look after these four points and then everything will work seamlessly.

Too bad we don't live there.

True, also the idea of "secure data enclaves" is something executives I work with are pushing for very hard.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, although I think it’s an unpopular opinion:

Rust introduces unsafe code (at a minimum through crates). The rust community hates that people use C++ when they could use a memory safe language, so why are they introducing memory unsafe to something that a GC works fine?

It’s like their opinion of memory safety as a necessity totally flips the second rust is the unsafe one.
Yeah with things like are we web yet, rust presents it self as can do anything language.

Which sure technically it can, but atm I think it's a only appropriate when you have an army of developers at some money printing company that go and write all your dependencies

I found an interview with the Replika guy. He said the AI was not safe when it did erotic stuff and that's why they shut it down. I wonder what that really means in detail. There are some deep philosophical questions under all this.

This is undoubtedly true for almost all women who have advanced significantly in any field up until about a decade ago.

Since then however, things have turned so sharply it’s almost the opposite now.

Some people think it’s fine, they are so mad at the men of the 1950s that they’re perfectly willing to inflict their revenge on the young men of today.

Then everyone is surprised when young men start listening to political operatives that don’t talk to them like they’re the scum of the universe.
> Some would say that security measures in the car industry also slow drivers down and are a nuisance.

Not sure about that: what are brakes for? Slowing down & stop, right? But then I ask, how fast would you drive if your car had no brakes? I would guess not very fast at all. Thus, one important role of breaks is to allow you to drive faster.

In practice, the more safety measures you put, the more confident people grow and the faster they drive. To a point, of course.

Same with programming: I prototype faster with a good static type system than I do with a dynamic one. One reason is that I just write fewer tests (including those one-off verifications in the REPL).
It's relevant because sure you can get a private insurance but you are already spending 5% of your income before tax on the public one and can't opt out from it. Like that's too much expenditure already to think about private health insurance.
The issue is how to deal with incomplete information.

I don't think the actual circumstances matter. The same standard should apply.
> I don't think anyone is complaining about well written fully functioning patches, that break no existing features or OSes.

While most wouldn’t be complaining, I think any maintainer should absolutely feel free to refuse a well-written, fully working patch for any reason. For example, that patch may be too large or too complex, thus might become a liability at some point in the future. Maybe managing user expectations is a priority for the maintainer. Maybe they wish to reduce support burden because they’d like spend more time with their family. All that should be deemed normal and acceptable.

It can feel disappointing (numerous pull requests that I wrote have been denied or ignored), but I think it’s important that we, as a community, normalize that.
Yes. Even better if there are situations declared in advance to be automatic halts so no call needs to be made in the moment.
They're explicitly asking for corporate membership on the OWASP board, to attract more sponsorship dollars.
I doubt either of those will ever exist which is why passwords and other MFA techniques will always be necessary. But I don't think that addresses that biometrics are more suited to identification rather than authentication...
This is a great idea. I really do like this.

However, we shouldn't forget the reduced security of the situation. This opens entirely new attack vectors by introducing the otherwise fantastic ability of local programs to consume network input.

With the flexibility and utility of local information comes additional remote attacks. In doing so, this extension blurs the lines between the greater difficulty of remote attacks vs local attacks. Many programs never considered in their threat models that input would come over the network. There are many developers who never try to protect past a certain point, saying, "if the person gets this far, there is nothing we can do anyway", then they ship.
