I wonder if it’s worth the cost in a horrible new user experience.

Spammers have also countered with karma farming bots that further pollute discussions - decreasing the value of such measures; reduced effectiveness and increased spam pollution.

Redditers in turn countered with bot detection and banning tools … that may no longer work soon - https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/07/reddit-mods-fear-spa...

Bad new user experience and increased spam … things are looking up for Reddit. /s

I don't believe that Windows 11 was at all necessary to achieve this security nirvana.
I think when you're still doing light-ish weight (like too light to be adding ~1 plate per warmup set I guess), it's easy to do too many warm-ups. Like on deadlifts, I was doing something like 155x5, 225x5, 255x5, then 285x5, and got stuck because my grip would be too tired by the time I had the working weight on. Switching to 155x5, 245-265x3 as a warmup made it easy again to continue up to 310 still doing double overhand.

OHP also seems to suffer a lot from warmup fatigue. I found that 45,95,135 works better than adding an extra warmup at 110-115, for example.

I do x3-4 on all my final warmup sets now since I'm really just using it to get my body ready to expect the weight, so the extra fatigue from x5 seems pointless.

Regarding OP though, I think it makes sense to just adjust your warmup sets to make loading plates easy. Like I was planning to bench 205 today, so I did 115,165,205 because I could load 35, 25, 2x10 to make that easy. Maybe it'd be better to do 170 instead of 165, but I don't think warm-ups need to be an exact value. You're just getting used to feeling the weight for the day.

> There’s nothing illegal about reading a book and then circulating your summary/review of it. This doesn’t even get into issues of fair use because you aren’t redistributing any of the copyrighted material in the first place, merely facts and your own opinions about it.

A summary may or may not be a derivative work before considering Fair Use; “redistributing copyrighted material” isn’t the only exclusive right of copyright: producing copies is, but more to the point so is producing derivative works.
You'd be surprised. There are an ungodly number of books published every year, and the back catalog is huge. You're over-indexing on popular books.
Personally on Firefox since I got into an open source.

In my relatively short experience developing an open source browser extension, Firefox users are far more active than Chrome users, which makes sense given that for most users, Chrome is a default, while Firefox is a choice. They're much harder to please, but the analogy that comes to mind is that in terms of submitting tickets and issues, they're like the linux of browsers.

I haven't tried it (because i do not really need network transparency and i'm using Xorg anyway) but supposedly this project[0] implements the Wayland protocol on top of Xorg in a way that integrates mostly seamlessly with X11-based desktops (instead of creating a window and running Wayland inside it as if it was a monitor isolated from the rest of the desktop).

It might be useful to be able to run Wayland applications remotely.

Well, I'd start with Xcode and static analysis. If that fails, Apple says this is triggered by ATS and ATSUI so I'd probably start with something like grep to see if I could track down a recursive dependency. [1] I wouldn't start deleting code at random from my codebase.

Given this is just a nuisance I'd then file a radar.

I agree with this.

I have never seen a firm say "hey, we should dig down the dependency chain to ensure that EVERY SINGLE package we use is fully signed and from a trusted (for some degree of trusted) source"

>I'm also avoiding / disabling Google stuffs (I'm using f-droid, ...). I was occasionally surprised to see how a lot of people are flooded with ads / unsolicited messages and seemed not to care. I don't get it, though, it looks such an awful experience.

I run into this with family members occasionally. Their music player or file manager has started showing ads, I recommend them the one I use on F-Droid, saying it may or may not be on the Play Store. Usually they go straight to the Play Store anyway and ask if any of their top ten results have the right icon/author. I really do get a better experience with F-Droid stuff. Never have run into ads or malware or whatever, can't imagine people thinking that it's normal to have such a bad experience. I don't know how they live with it.
The article says a lot of the money is going to be used for monitoring, and then that monitoring, if it found pollution, would be allocated to better fitlering systems.
That's because the kernel identifies as NT10.0. Internally it's the same as Windows 10.

Similarly, Windows 2000 and XP identify as NT5.0 and 5.1 respectively, and Windows Vista/7/8/8.1 identify as NT6.0, 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3 respectively.

Incidentally, this is also why drivers often are cross-compatible along certain Windows versions.
I seriously doubt 3M is the only or even dominant contributor to rainwater pollution. Surely there are big Chinese companies, among others, also producing fluorine compounds.

The other polluters should also contribute to cleanup rather than just using this as an excuse to further erode the USA’s industrial base.

That said if someone can convincingly show that 3M all by themselves managed to pollute the entire global water supply to a dangerous level I’ll accept it.

It's a great pity you are unwilling or unable to provide any shred of evidence to back a strong assertion that you yourself made.

As it stands, without any clarification on your part, your statement that

"Poor people in fact divorce more then rich ones."

is just as meaningful as

"Poor people in fact breath more then rich ones."

ie. trivially so by weight of numbers.

It's also a great pity you are unwilling or unable to the shortcomings of the graph in the link I provided, which has nothing to do with being restricted the core population of people who at least been married.

What country are you thinking of, what are the definitions of rich and poor that you are thinking of, and what is the distribution of rich V. poor that meets that criteria - these are your starting points against which you can bring in whatever measures of divorce you wish to compare against rich and poor.

This is your claim - expand upon what you mean.

> We notified everyone via email on February 23, April 6 and May 15th. We also offered to help migrate all users. I realize that it's not ideal that we've shut down this system, but we made our best efforts to notify affected users and give them options to move over to other regions.

What other communication methods were attempted beyond just emails? Big, red obnoxious banners and warnings in various UIs? Phone calls?

The fact that it seems as though quite a few customers didn't get your emails, what was the thought process when looking at the workloads that were clearly still active before nuking it from orbit? Or was there no check and it was just assumed that people got the email and migrated?

Of the customers who were in that region, how many actually migrated? Was someone tracking these statistics and regularly reporting them to leadership to adjust tactics if there weren't enough migrations or shutdowns happening?

This screams either gross incompetence or straight up negligence. This is such a solvable problem (as many here have already mentioned various solutions), but I'm honestly just flabbergasted that this is a problem that is even being discussed here right now.

As a DBaaS, the data of your customers should be your number one priority. If its not, y'all need to take a hard look at what the heck your value proposition is.

We weren't impact by this directly, but you can be sure that this is going to be one of the topics for discussion amongst my teams this week.

Thank you for not having the obvious and boring take. (I also agree.)
> about bringing together concepts

Well, yes, obviously. My analogy is just that: it's like bug collection, bringing together a bunch of samples from many fields into a single museum.

My criticism, I think, is still valid. Just because you've renamed things in a bunch of fields with a consistently obtuse verbiage doesn't mean you've understood anything, or improved any of the fields in a material way. There's a lot of promise, but little delivery.

Category theory is the string theory of mathematics. There. I said it.

I raised a similar critique here before, asking for practical examples from computer science where CT has made a contribution, and someone linked to a CT explanation of automatic differentiation (popularised due to AI).

The thing is, AD predated CT substantially, and was well-understood for a long time. The original theoretical description of AD is something I understood, and the CT description of it was impenetrable, and not useful.

Category theory is something I've always wanted to succeed. It feels like we're on the cusp of something great, like formalising every part of programming languages and compilers for provably correct transformations and optimisations. That would be amazing, but every time I dig into the promise of CT all I see is some hand-wavy "it's applicable to field X" with literally zero further discussion, examples, or practice.
As far as I can tell they are not disclosing the patent application number anywhere. They only give a vague description of what it's supposed to cover. Yet they are being very aggressive about "infringers" of their patent they don't have yet for a product they aren't selling yet.

A summary can be written in such a way as to violate copyright itself. So even if they say "We trained it on the following summaries:...," there could be an issue.
Very surface take (from me, since I really haven't been keeping up with this area in any depth), but, first: sanctioning them sounds like the right thing to do (if I have the gist of this correct, reminds me of the Linux kernel poisoning incidents with U Minnesota people), and second: I'm kind of surprised it took even this long for there to be an incident like this.

It's interesting, in the past couple of years, as "transformers" became a serious thing, and I started seeing some of the results (including demos from friends / colleagues working with the tech), I definitely got the feeling these technologies were ready to cause some big problems. Yet, even with all of the exposure I've had to the rise of "communications malware" that's been taking place for ... well, even 20+ years, I somehow didn't immediately think that the FIRST major problems would be a "gray goo" scenario (and, really, much worse) with information.

Time to go put on the dunce cap and sit in the corner.

Ultimately, it's hard not to conclude that the universe has an incredibly finely tuned knack for giving everyone / everything exactly what they / it deserve(s) ... not in a purely negative / cynical sense, but, in a STRONG sense, so-to-speak.
I'd argue that if an automated process can ingest A and spit out B, then B is inherently a derivative work of A. (Never mind that humans are also automata.)
Has anyone made an attempt at accounting for all the harms and benefits of PFAS? Something I feel is often missed in reporting about similar issues is that the products in question have tremendous benefits. Yes, they have caused significant harm. But so have fire, the wheel, and the automobile. With the benefit of hindsight, it is easy to forget that we used these things in so many places for good reasons.
So, this is a tough thing to say publicly because I really respect a lot of David’s early work on derived differential geometry - please don’t judge category theory as a field based on Applied Category Theory™. To quote a random tweet, Applied Category Theory is the cryptocurrency of the sciences. They’ve managed to convince some senior Air Force or Navy person that translating well understood mathematics to string diagrams will make scientists more productive because they won’t need to code, and are thus getting lots of funding.

Feedback is subjective in every field you take. I’ve got a lot of “NITs” in my code reviews, which essentially are - subjective feedback.

I do see where you are coming from regarding getting feedback. I’m pretty sure there are places, like Reddit communities, where you can get feedback about writing.

But I also want to point out an interpreting observation, that I can’t explain. I’ve noticed that the more I write, the better I become at it, regardless of whether I get feedback or not. Future articles are becoming easier to write, sometimes clearer. I also see an improvement in my oral communication. So maybe practice, for the sake of practice - does make perfect.

At one place I worked, I specifically asked in the interview if we would be on call. "Nope." Within 2 months of being hired, everyone on my team went on call, with no talk of compensation bumps. I was put in the awkward position of attempting to renegotiate my salary after just getting hired, or not being a team player. Don't let this happen to you.

It's good that you're thinking about compensation for this work, because it is work, it is extra, and it should never be done for free. Don't let your employer guilt you into it because "everyone else is on call too." Everyone should have a compensation bump then.
It's pretty interesting to see the added features this replacement userland provides when considering the tenacity of the TLAs in slurping up the data of citizens and non-citizens alike.

Yes it is all about why you are there. For me, I want to be stronger. I don't want to make weightlifting my life or set any records. Sets of 5 works just fine for me. The only time I've hurt myself lifting weights is trying out my "1RM" or trying to hit "RPE 10" lifts. I don't do that anymore. If you can do 5 reps with good form, you probably aren't going to hurt yourself lifing that weight, and it's fairly safe to add 5-10 lbs more for progressive overload.
