For some reason I get rather annoyed by people who write lengthy blog posts about hot topic news of the day, especially those who mostly do handwaving.

> Even if you have a team of DNS experts maintaining your zone and DNS infrastructure, the risk of routine operational tasks triggering a loss of availability (unrelated to any attempted attacks that DNSSEC may thwart) is very high - almost guaranteed to occur.

What an absurd statement. Yeah, some people have had issues. But most of those did not have a trained DNS team. Or even person. I ran DNSSEC for hundreds of TLDs as a one man team. I'm not particularly smart or special...most TLDs have not had a DNSSEC outage. NZ did because they made mistakes, which could happen with any technology. Expired certs, for example, are much more prevalent. Should we throw away the CA system too?

I'm not even a DNSSEC advocate, really. I just find it bizarre so many people attack is as impossible to do. It's not. Attack it on its merits or lack of necessity instead.
> I suspect over-sanitization reduced our baseline immunity to your typical run-of-the-mill pathogens

This is an old wives’ tale, we’re swimming in pathogens at any moment of our lives.
Our immune system is always working.
That makes sense. People in the UK want their energy prices to fall, at pretty much any cost at the moment
Source code alone can never provide proof of non-maliciousness. Reflections on Trusting Trust demonstrated that almost 40 years ago.

Outside of pet projects I'm not sure many people are doing that, but happy to read any research. From all I've seen the numbers show an overwhelming move to the cloud, and a few grumpy cats annoyed that the pricing structure is different.
The QR scan/generate app I use always presents me the scanned data in text form and asks me to verify if I want to visit the URL or not. I don't know why anyone would chois an app that doesn't afford the user that basic level of control.

I mean, you make S3 look easy compared to that
Regardless of protocol, yes only one person/org should be in control of (and able to obtain certs for) a particular domain.

Unless you're suggesting Person A should have port 443 on www.something.com and Person B should have port 444, and each gets their own (valid) www.something.com cert? Because that some very clear problems.
It isn't clear what makes their reward signal predictable but 10 pulses at 100hz looks like an ltp inducing stimulus
It is very common to use "generic Ubisoft open world game" to refer to any game regardless of developer that follows Ubisoft's open word formula of having an open world with ton of pointless random collectables, lots of icons in the world map for them, the world being separated in areas/regions you "conquer", kitchensink gameplay where everythings is thrown together with shooting, hunting, crafting, skill trees, quest markers/GPS, etc.

If that describes "most AAA games nowadays" that is because it does :-P. Ubisoft games were successful after all.

As an example this was the first hit when i searched for "generic ubisoft open game":

I set up a net news server, created two groups, hooked up to another net news server, we started peering… It sure is possible! And with peering, newsgroups are federated. They will survive individual servers going down.

I also wrote a minimal web frontend.

I'm surprised someone hasn't gone after him over copyright or trademark infringement. I suspect no one asked the toy companies that own the rights for permission. But I'm only guessing.
This seems to conflict with how IQ tests are issued. They're always pretty restricted in time, and I suspect they're designed so that someone with 100 IQ is not supposed to get through all of the questions. Not to claim I'm some super intelligent guy but I always felt like IQ tests fail to measure the kind of cognitive tasks that I'm good at, which is to hold a problem in my mind for a long time (in my line of work that's often days or weeks) and then come up with a novel solution.
That's the business model.

As a matter of interest, how does this service differ from existing services? The only thing I can see is some nice options and SVG output looks good.

It would be nice if you could create the SVG directly from the query parameters of the url to allow fully dynamic badges like some of the other services.

Not for the people behind NixOS. If it is challenging then that would cause me to re-calibrate my opinion of the project as a whole.
This is, in my opinion, a falacy perpetuated by the marketing departments of "big cloud". Don't forget that pre-2006 there was no S3, and we managed just fine. They are not challenging skills to learn, the zeitgeist has just convinced itself they are not worth learning
The Demon in America's Sacred Narrative
> Most people (Not just Americans, but especially them) are obsessed with the value of the home they own.

Most people in Anglospheric countries.

It turns out that NIMBYism and housing crises are particularly bad in the USA especially but also the UK, Canada, Australia, and NZ... because in the Anglosphere there is a culture of aspiring to be a freeholder with your own home on your own lot.

Continental Europeans don't mind living in small apartments in dense urban areas. And it's a fact of life for many millions of Asians.

Freestanding homes should join cars on the list of things we need to cut our cultural obsession with.
I left a job with a nice little packet of money for all of the accumulated overtime from a few years of hard work. Who would want to not get paid for their efforts? Do the people deciding you shouldn't, not expect to get paid for theirs? Where is the class action lawsuit on this?
I have found it relatively easy to just run a local CA for my isolated network. I didn't find it too difficult to setup. I run around 600 servers and about 20x that in IOT devices.
I wonder how unlimited such cheap unlimited connections really are. In the simplest case insufficient capacity in the provider network might become a bottleneck. They might notice that you are the noisiest one in the whole neighboorhood and either ask more money or throttle you. Offers that are too good to be true typically don't last very long.
> to literal corrupt communists

This kind of stupid hyperbole is not really conducive to any civil discussion. Calling Lula a communist in 2023 is akin to calling Tony Blair a communist in 1997: misguided red-scare tactics against someone who basically embraced neoliberalism in favour of any socialist tendencies to achieve power.

Don't be that kind of person, it just make you look dumb.
There's still open source hosting providers that could provide the bandwidth and maybe the storage for such a project, but I doubt many of them could provide something like S3, it would either be git, https, ftp or maybe rsync.

Building something like S3 yourself on Swift or Minio isn't easily done, the management of these solution can be tricky, especially for multi-petabyte systems.

S3 most likely got them going and scaling really easily, but then at some point the cost comes back to bit you. Still I don't see any good alternatives right now. I don't completely disagree with your, but the overhead of building an S3 like storage solution upfront would have actively prevented the NixOS project getting off the ground.
Maybe the author's intent wasn't that, but the phrasing is a bit apologetic, like (exaggerating here...) "we're sorry to bother you, the average internet user with this discovery, but just so you know there ARE minorities that care about privacy"
You do all of this and you still don't have nearly the availability or durability of data you get from S3, nor people on call to fix it once anything happens to it.

It's like comparing leasing a Mercedes-Benz with full service and all inclusive insurance to building your own bicycle. Some people don't need the car, sure, but it's not the same thing.
> Also, the median value for an owner-occupied house in SF is 1.15MM. So half the people live in something less than that.

This contradicts your earlier statement. If the median owner-occupied house 1.15M, that means more than half of homeowners are living in houses worth $1M or more. Clearly that includes middle class people, since it's more than half of the people.

Also, note that it doesn't take much money to live in a $1M house if you bought it a while back.
When you reach scale and need a CDN, DIY on bare metal on colo and roundrobin using AnyCast.

Now it all makes sense
That’s right! A very distinct similarity.
The book Disciplined Minds discusses how the more educated and professional workers are more often than not the more conservative thinkers, somewhat by virtue of having been institutionalized and thus tunnel visioned in what's a "right" answer. So the generalization is not off base and not without precedent.
Sigh. Is it news to you that this guy's a socialist? He literally called himself "a refined socialist" last year before the elections. Why do I have to keep reminding people of this fact? He literally founded a forum for south american communists to gather and discuss how to install this cancer everywhere. There's fucking decades old videos of him talking about installing socialism in Brazil.

It's seriously tiresome having to say this stuff over and over every single time.

While this is a problem. The single largest issue that isn't properly being disscussed (especially during the strikes) is retention.

The NHS is a leaking bucket of highly skilled doctors and nurses.

Anecdotally, my wife is a doctor at a large tertiary hospital. Asking all the completing Foundation junior doctors what their career plans are, 80% of them have obtained either an Australian or New Zealand Visa and were securing jobs abroad.

No one skilled and smart enough wants to stay in the UK.
I mean one of the pretty clear implications of that research is that there is a real chance those are Chinese aircraft that have figured out how to avoid radar detection and even most close range observation.

If that does turn out to be true it’s a major turning point in world history as the US discovers they are now are no longer the most powerful airforce in the world and has some very real and very serious knock on effects that come with it.
If cookies are mentioned then should mention: file save api, indexdb, local storage.

Also another way is to integrate with dropbox, onedrive, google drive etc. There is also an open source project called remotestorage but traction seems low.
> When my company switched to "flexible time off", they also instated an annual goal for number of hours billed, and surprise surprise: to hit the annual goal, you have to take basically ZERO time off. Previously we earned 2 to 4 weeks depending on seniority. Now it's zero.

Does your company have any offices in California? Is this policy applied to those offices in California? If the answer to both questions is "yes", then have a coworker in California talk to a labor lawyer to see if California might consider this PTO policy wage theft.

(For context: California considers PTO to be part of your wage, and considers companies that attempt to weasel out of paying PTO to be engaging in wage theft. Based on what I've read California courts give "non-accrual"/"unlimited"/"flexible"/"whatever-they-are-called-these-days" PTO schemes _extra_ scrutiny, because those things hide all sorts of ways to deny workers the wages that they're owed.)
I think the implication is either naive or wilfully ignorant, rather than hopeless
I think that as the number of choices and opportunities in life go up, the opportunity cost of giving up a portion of this naturally increases. You might end up with "more" overall than past generations even after having kids, but loss aversion makes you feel the part you're giving up more keenly which steers some people away.

It's the same reason some people can't just relax and turn off. We're able to be so efficient/productive now, 30 minutes "wasted" costs a lot more now than it did in 1990 or earlier.
Spot on. I think it's one of the reasons why I enjoyed playing the first Tomb Raider so much
An indifferent user learns to click whatever has the word "all" in it.
It happened 100-200 years ago in developed countries, we know better now that it isn't something to be replicated. Or are you also willing to have child labour working 12-16 hours/day to achieve industrialisation? Burning that entire jungle down to achieve short-term economical development will doom future generations, you achieve development and prosperity for 20 years while leaving a bleak future for the next 50-200 years. For what? Making some cars? Mining some ore?

It's the second moronic take I came across from you in this comment chain, you're parroting Bolsonaro's demagogy, it feels like you haven't thought yourself about the consequences of "burn that entire jungle down". I don't believe you are that stupid so please, give it a deeper thought than this knee-jerk angry reactionary take. It sounds extremely moronic.
They did not make the decision that the cloud is cost-efficient. They had someone else paying their cloud bill and the cloud is easy for them.

Now that the someone else is pulling out they need to think for the first time what would be cost-efficient.
This is actually something important: auditors are all over the place and the 'checkbox types' tend to be insistent on all kinds of busywork that the standard they are auditing against doesn't require at all. As the company being audited you are definitely in a position to push back (but maybe not with that particular language).

If you know the standard you are audited against as well or better than your auditor you're in a good position to spot such deviations and avoid a bunch of unnecessary (and sometimes conflicting) 'requirements'. The less competent auditors might not like this but they're probably not going to challenge serious pushback and if they do you're free to contact their employers and ask for someone more qualified.

It was stated that the treatment group did the assigmment twice, the first evening without, the second evening with electrical stimulation. Without evidence to the contrary, the memory improvement could be due to consolidation of the stimulus received instead of 'new' memories being stored better.
It's condescending to think that someone can't reasonably choose to pay for a service they are capable of doing.

Was Hackers actually a hit at the time or did it grow into one?
Empirical studies show the opposite unless you want to swallow fabrications and lies by the likes of the AEI or the heritage foundation. They only exist to manufacture bullshit.

They need their own journals and publications because the sponsored content they call research can't stand up to academic scrutiny. They'll flip flop on their "conclusions" all the time because different people pay their bills.

They start from an ideological position, which is based on who is paying them, and then work backwards using reactionary arguments, misrepresenting statistics and sometimes just straight up fraud

I can't emphasize this enough. Think tanks are private propaganda factories and that's literally it. They're peddlers of agenda and ideology who are not concerned with reality.
Venom, Solid, Solidus, Liquid, and Naked Snake are all different people. Naked becomes Big Boss. Solid, Solidus, Liquid are clones of Big Boss. Venom thinks he's Big Boss. I don't understand what's so confusing? :)

> Game design is limited by the technology of its time. Lara Croft's face was poorly defined, and her features were exaggerated partly because it wasn't possible to render an attractive quasi-realistic character before the first generation of 3D hardware. The renders shown in promos and cover art were done in much higher quality, and the Lara in those hardly resembled the in-game Lara either.

Well, the article explicitly shows an early sketch where she looked even more comic-like than in the final renders. The character was never intended to look realistic, that wasn't just a technical limitation of the hardware the game run on. In fact even for Tomb Raider 6 the renders didn't look realistic:

> You're saying that Mario and Snake didn't also change from their initial 2D sprites to their later 3D models? Mario's nose and signature cap were hardly distinguishable in the early games, and just weren't important compared to the gameplay.

There were some early changes, but Mario looks basically exactly like he did on the cover of Super Mario Bros 3 some 25 years ago:

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/8csAAOSwH9JeGgLT/s-l1600.jpg

Even Tomb Raider 1 - 6 did not have that much continuity.

> Her defining features are being an upper-class explorer and overall badass, which is part of every TR game.

That could also be someone else. Lara Croft now looks like a completely different woman. And very generic too, nothing like the distinctive face (and with the braids, and the exaggerated proportions) she had before. The continuity of the first six games is simply lost, it's like replacing Homer Simpson with some different, slimmer, more average looking character, while still calling him Homer Simpson.

Maybe they wanted the series to have more realistic graphics, which wouldn't fit her classic stylized design. But I'm sure they could have come up with a design that looked at least similar to the old Lara. Even cosplayers do a decent job:

Irish town unites in smartphone ban for young children
Any smaller than present and the bottlenecks become dominated by other factors. Commonly things such as: access to at least two emergency egress stairwells, a requirement for at least one window, the physics of being able to reach the entry door at all.

As a counter example, hotel rooms are usually required to have a restroom but not a kitchen area. Yet they're often even larger than studio apartments. This is because the other safety, engineering, and other-units factors enforce requirements that make smaller units pointless. They might even create security management issues in the common space between units.

If what you're really seeking is cheaper ways of housing more people, then generalizing the question and changing the variables being optimized (other than size, which most places, particularly in other countries, already do great jobs on).

Offhand, the 'wave a magic wand and fix the rules' solution just limited to this problem space might include something similar to. Fireproof (no flammable materials in the building construction, build in furnishings etc) buildings only require 1 fire-shelter level egress path. 'better' elevators (less shafts / density; might go to a Wanka-vator / turbolift like loop system). Eliminate window requirements in favor of two independent paths to sources of fresh air / shelter in place points.

With the above, the sort of smaller unit hacks that others (but not I) desire might include commons facilities for coffin-hotel things like a gym/pool lockerroom and shower, a common kitchen, etc. However my experience with shared amenities (E.G. rooftop BBQ grills) is that they suffer the Tragedy of the Commons. There's always going to be at least one person in a group that uses things improperly, or leaves cleanup to others, etc. In the case of shared lockerrooms that aren't rigorously cleaned this will also lead to communicable disease transmission.
This is why 'cookie cutter audits' are fairly useless, a standard should establish a framework but not result in endless bickering about stuff that isn't even applicable.

There is a huge difference here when it comes to who pays. If a customer of the company pays for the audit you can expect a whole pile of trouble because the auditor wants to show that they've delivered value, whereas if the company being audited pays for it then it tends to go the other way. Ideally the audit would be exactly the same no matter who pays for the audit and it should be customized to the company (and market).
