There are two book reviews on the page I linked, both about global cooling. This is what I mean. You're trying to argue using sources but not reading those sources.

This point is relevant because you can't directly measure what the scientific community believes. It's not even a well defined group to begin with. So in practice everyone relies on summaries, articles, assertions by scientists about what other scientists believe and so on. If you read HN discussions on climate you'll see all kinds of things stated with 100% certainty that everyone believes those things, but it's easy to find research papers refuting them or providing contradictory evidence. Whilst communication abilities are indeed better than the 1970s this does not lead to more rational discussion because attempts to bring up the complexities and contradictions of the actual evidence base are invariably suppressed, along with people pointing out the unreliability of the climatological community. Many scientists today in climate will tell you point blank that their views are never brought to public attention and even actively suppressed.
I think that there needs to be a level of accountability here for the programmers who did this. Tech workers need to stand up against this kind of anti-user hostility. Firefox is an openly-developed project, who wrote the code to allow this kind of attack, and should we ask them to commit to not writing such code again?
No, some haven't seen the evidence or think it's fake.
You need to treat everything you post on the Internet and this includes so-called private or direct messages and emails as being perpetually public forever, because the chance it is found or leaks is moderately high.

You need to treat everything you find on the Internet as ephemeral and will disappear tomorrow.

How much again is another problem of "what and when"

> This year one of my students claimed to have done a user experience test with 30+ people, all of which came in person to his house during a period of 4 days.

Is it possible that maybe he thrown a big party (or a series of parties) and asked the folks there to try his stuff? Not sure what is the length and depth of the usability test in question, but if it is a short questionnaire that might work? But I see where your suspicion is coming from.

> IE you can take a secret key system, hardwire the key into the program, and turn it into a public key system without fear that the secret key will be recovered - instead, it will not be distinguishable from other programs with different hardwired keys.

I don't understand. Shouldn't a different secret key yield a different function / circuit?

> something like rsync.net

My impression of rsync.net is that it is for backup. Whereas my service would be a live service you ssh into. Basically, connect to Wireguard VPN and then ssh into your cloud home.

The idea being that this is where you keep, and interact with, your files that are important.

> DigitalOcean

My service would have less system administration for the user, and high level of storage redundancy and offsite backups

> Just trying to help with question to validate the idea. Best of luck.

Thank you, I appreciate it :)

A useful tool for transforming JSON to and from a format that is more amenable to simple text tooling is gron: https://github.com/tomnomnom/gron

Takes all the tree and hierarchy management away, makes it so ordering doesn’t matter.

If I’m generating JSON from batch scripts it’s my preferred tool (easier than fighting jq for many tasks)
I really appreciate this response.

> I do not personally believe that treatments that can improve one's life should be gatekeeped (gatekept?) sheerly by disorders

In my most libertarian moments I totally agree. But I also accept (even if I don't agree) that a large number of people believe that the detriments to society as a whole (including to some individuals in particular) caused by the misuse of powerful and addictive substances outweighs the benefits of un-controlled access.

> How was I diagnosed? I went through a gauntlet of exhausting interviews and somewhat pseudo-scientific psychometrics -- WAIS IV IQ test, Stop/Go test, and plenty of others that I cannot remember the name of. It's about as legitimate as one can hope for currently... or at least a decade ago.

The "fad" I was talking about was individuals showing up to a medical professional and having the totally unrealistic expectation that after a one hour consultation they would be diagnosed with a severe mental disorder and that they would walk out that same day with a prescription for a controlled stimulant.

The real path to treatment in our system is much more difficult. You have to demonstrate and document a history of symptoms and their effects on your life. It can take 6-12 months in many places to get into a specialist like a psychiatrist. Then it can take many more months of experimentation with alternative treatments before being prescribed medications.

That path is, frankly, atrocious. We are so starved for qualified resources that the system purposely slows things down. If you are able to work and live life even minimally - you are low on the priority list in many cases. There are enough truly horrible cases (severe schizophrenia, bipolar, etc.) that involve people unable to function at all that those who are merely suffering can get ignored. Front-line medical workers gate-keep access to specialists out of necessity, not out of malicious intent.

The patience you demonstrated to get the help you need is commendable but also proof that the system delivers for those who need it.

The alternative path that many choose to take is to become hostile, aggressive or abusive. They refuse to push through the system or to even attempt alternatives. They demand a specific diagnosis and a precise medication and they get angry when they don't get it.

> In some ways, I feel like I made a deal with the Devil.

This is is one reason why the system pushes people to try every alternative possible before going down the route of medication. If someone can find any alternative to medication to manage their symptoms - they ought to avoid the diagnosis and avoid the medicine.

It is just the case that many possible alternatives, including life-style changes, are explicitly forbidden to talk about. So while the medical practitioner may want to say: you need better friends, a better job, a better life in general ... they often cannot. Nor are some aggressive and hostile people willing to listen even if they could.
This isn’t a bug, so the resolution is expected. What I don’t understand is how Mozilla thought this would work out.
This is actually an engine limitation. It's to keep the turbine blades from melting. Unfortunately, you can't measure the turbine inlet temperature very well, because of the whole melting thing. So they determine what the limit should be, and then back calculate it to somewhere they actually can measure it (which is the front of the compressor). So, you could exceed the CIT limit, but you would run the chance of damaging the engines. The MiG-25 has famously destroyed it's engines by running to fast.
There have been annual BRIC/BRICS summits since 2009 (South Africa didn’t become part of it until 2011.) BRIC or the BRICs referring to the other four members is an older term, but it has since become something of a superficially, at least, real thing, largely because it being perceived to be real serves (different, for each member) the propaganda interests of the members.
Very cool. Being born and raised in the province, when someone mentions the BC coast, I immediately conjure up a mental image of soaring mountains, glistening glaciers, heavily forested mountain-sides and deep fjords. I'll admit, I had no idea there was anything but the image I just described. Never knew there were significant bogs in the area. Sounds like I need to do more exploring of this beautiful coast line!
There are tons of them. Just as a quick example, https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10408398.2019.1... this is a study who's funding came from the Produce for Better Health Foundation, which is a non-profit with the specific goal of increasing fruit and vegetable consumption. It's executive committee and financial partners are all produce industry execs and companies. They cite 422 references and if you go through them you'll find that many of them are funded by similar industry groups or directly from major produce companies.

There does need to be name for plants that are always considered weeds in an area. "Invasive" is used for prolific spreaders but is frequently reserved for non-natives.

Japanese weed is a good example. Maybe it is well behaved in native range, but in US and most of the world, it is invasive and super-problematic. Another is poison hemlock, which is wise to carefully remove since it is poisonous and invasive. It also depends on the area, English ivy is noxious weed around here because it is invasive and spreads well, but lots of people still like it.
Vegetarianism, yes. Veganism, no.

The CO2 emissions from a world full of vegetarians vs a world full of vegans are pretty close to indistinguishable.

> higher education? They do well

I know quite a few, and none of them make a fraction of what they could, outside academia. Some, are, quite literally, on public assistance, with Ph.Ds.

The healthcare industry is rife with bad behavior. Their practice is restricted, but their behavior ... not so much.

Same with lawyers. They have very intense ethics laws, but they are about the practice, not the personal behavior.

But you are correct. It is a "broad brush," and not really a worthy argument.
What hope do Jr programmers have in figuring out the own errors they have in their own code they've written?

I work in the code security industry, and there is one truism, that is people typically write code until it compiles and or doesn't return an immediate error, they do not write code until it is 'correct'.
One exercise that I find helpful is...

Finding what the components of $Thing will do, where else they may be useful, and being critical on if they're needed.

Sometimes you find that it's not as big as anticipated, there's existing work, or the idea just doesn't hold water.

In general, it helps to break the problem down. Trying to bite the whole thing at once is overwhelming

Sometimes I find that if I do 20% of this, it fixes a much bigger problem than what I was even looking at
A quick google search brings up "AWS Trainium". But it's telling that I had never heard of it. And like TPUs, you can't plug in a smaller version in your desktop PC.

We have chosen to discuss things in facebook-like places abandoning good old forums. Probably soon we will finish in impossibility to re-read something 10k pages ago because app is going to crash from out-of-memory and website will give 50x error for spamming thousands times the "next" button.

Gmail and Twitter are just asses for doing that, people uses to go to war or to be jailed in prison (activities which may result in a long time ofline) with no reason to be restricted from their digital lives.

What about Imgur it is understandable because user-generated pictures are always a headache for webmasters.

Probably our hope is Blockchain-inspired forums because I do not want some kinds of information to get lost. For example [1] is an endless well of information about next-gen (in my opinion) bicycle design (user's experience and researcher's drafts), forums like that deserves to live forever with the same users base and with ability to continue discuss something in 100+ years old topics.

I'm half-assedly pulling this out of recollection. I believe nucleic-acid based vaccines prompt a greater response from the part of the adaptive immune system that is not the antibody part, while protein-based vaccines preferentially boost the antibody response. They do this because the antigen is expressed within the cell.
I never meant to claim "it's the same thing".

I was just suggesting, if, by "react-like" code, you meant "a UI library that uses a vDOM to transform functionally written code into DOM nodes", Yew fits the bill.

Also, typically, one writes JSX when writing react, not HTML. It's similar with Yew[0].

If you're already aware of Yew, I'm not trying to change your mind. I was just trying to make you aware if you weren't already.

Carbon pricing works: the largest-ever study puts it beyond doubt
My girlfriend worked for a small-ish company (less than 100 employees) that got ONE negative review on Glassdoor. The company executives were so angry about it that they contacted Glassdoor, trying to get them to remove it. Denied. Then they hired an attorney to try and force Glassdoor to remove the negative review. Denied again. Finally, a few weeks later, someone from Glassdoor reached out about some sort of premier program for employers. Nothing was ever stated directly, but it was implied that reviews would be "managed" with the premier program. They signed up. Negative review disappeared later that day.

I don't know the details about the "premier program", like what it was specifically called, but the negative review did magically disappear. Also, everything said in the negative review was totally true.
Not really. The US system is much more formalized, defined, and streamlined due to regulatory changes stemming from FDR.

A lot of the British system's weirdness is due to colonialism and the weirdness of the Commonwealth system.

You don't see a similar number weirdness/edge cases in Australia, NZ, Ireland, Canada, or South Africa either (all 5 forked the British administrative and legal system in the 1930s-1980s)
Yeah, the math for your situation is Queuing Theory, btw. A somewhat unrelated subject.

I'd say lock-free programming doesn't necessarily help that problem. Performance improvements are one of the keys, as the faster your code executes, the "shorter the queues get" because you're processing everyone faster in the system.

Queuing Theory is one of the weirder maths in Comp. Sci. I have mixed opinions on whether or not its really worth studying, as it covers very obvious truths. (The faster your code executes, the shorter lines get. Etc. etc.). I've seen the arguments that Queuing Theory is a lot of "obvious math" that you'll keep solving over-and-over again in parallel systems / code optimization however, so might as well formalize the concepts.

-----------

Queuing Theory is that all systems can be modeled as queues (aka: lines), where people stand in line waiting to be served. And "servers", who serve these people waiting in line. When someone is served, they move on to another queue / line up and wait for the next server to serve them.

You then do a bunch of math to see how long these lines get (ie: representing how much RAM you need to save all of these jobs) in a variety of random-distributions (poisson arrival times, etc. etc.).
I'll leave the question of "legally allowed" to the lawyers, because I think the elephant in the room is: who's going to buy your bonds if your ghost town has no tax revenue?
[Louis Rossman]  Why I will NEVER pay for YouTube Premium ever again!
This ironically brings us back to the point of the original article: if spending that much time teaching people to do it right didn’t help, spending even more time doing that in the same way is hardly going to.

Also, respectfully, it doesn’t matter. Not having learned maths in English, I don’t know the mnemonic, I don’t care to know it, and I find even the concept of it completely asinine. (For eighteenth-century mathematicians, addition and subtraction bound tighter than multiplication and division, and they could calculate perfectly fine.) You can look up the precedence table if you need to—as long as you need to understood the idea of precedence (and not order of operations, for goodness’ sake). You won’t then be able to calculate fluently, but fluency is a different problem with a tedious and time-consuming solution, and given the time crunch I’d rather talk about some actual Maths as She Is Spoke instead.
IIRC, it had higher resolution than CGA, so it was much nicer to look at for longer stretches of time.
I saw conjecture on twitter (unfortunately I didn’t save the tweet) that they were targeting rudders because of the similarity to tuna fins. They hunt tuna by removing the fins, to prevent the fish fleeing, and the tweeter’s hypothesis was that they are using the sailboats as practice

It's funny. In Japan, at my company, there were levels that were unattainable, until the applicant was a certain age. That would be completely illegal, in the US.

Ah, well, it's all water under the bridge. After a few of these hazin- er, interviews, I got the message, and accepted that I'm in early retirement, and I work for free, these days.
So this blog post is missing any information about what the actual vulnerabilities were. What was the "gap"? What was the misconfiguration? Also missing is whether access to the host VM exposes meaningful secrets. Does this actually risk customers' sensitive data?
In some cases the context is hard to explain because it's complex, or it relates to something about the domain of the use-cases which is very particular to this implementation. If all you need is some small detail, like how to accomplish something with X library, it would be a waste of everyones time to write several paragraphs to explain some context which will be irrelevant to everyone else.
is there a way to query it?

One thing I want to say here is that "entrapment" isn't a moral principle; it's a legal one, and it isn't universal. We don't get it from English Common Law, where it wasn't widely known before the founding of the US, and was rejected when it did come up. Entrapment is a checks-and-balances balance of power mechanism, not a general rule of conduct.

Furthermore, while we don't reach the question of whether this dummy test constituted entrapment (because it doesn't matter), it's also simply not entrapment under the US legal definition (arguably the most important such definition). In the US, an entrapment defense requires you to (1) admit that you did the bad thing, (2) prove that you were somehow coerced (at least psychologically) into doing that bad thing, and (3) prove that you had no predisposition to doing the bad thing. You're searching for exam questions and memorizing a bogus final exam. You know you're cheating, you know it's wrong, and you do it anyways. You're culpable.
> Cheating most often affects the cheater, if anything, because when they need a skill they pretended to have, they'll fail at real-life tasks. But nobody else is affected by cheating.

Except the people standing on the bridge designed by the civil engineer who cheated, or getting radiation therapy from a machine programmed by a cheating software engineer, or being treated by a doctor who cheated in med school.

Cheaters getting degrees from an institution that's supposed to produce high-quality graduates is bad for the value of that degree, which is bad for the institution, anyone else who went there, and anyone who relies on that degree as a signal that the graduate has the skills they're supposed to have.

There's a sub reddit I discovered tracking HSV vaccine progress (HSV cure research)

Unfortunately the most promising doctor that was working on a vaccine was only able to show efficacy of 50% in mice. A recent study also showed HSV likely infects more than just cells near the brain. Potentially immune cells too.

Gsk is working on one. Would be interesting to see the results soon. This is a tough nut to crack and clearly not enough money being funneled by governments, as another person mentioned we have almost 3x the amount we spent on covid for a new war.
CUDA is a success because 1) it works on all NVIDIA GPUs made since 2006 2) it works on both Windows and Linux.
