> For protecting mutable storage, both reads and writes go through AES-XTS, either in zxcrypt or fxfs-crypt.

Fuschia uses block-based disk encryption? I think iOS had more secure file-based encryption in 2010.

(It looks like fxfs-crypt has better options than AES-XTS block encryption though.)
I hang out in that scene from time to time (particularly, the "tildeverse": https://tildeverse.org/).

IMO, it's necessarily an underground scene because mass culture wants big tech. It takes a certain awareness and commitment to principles to reject the convenience afforded by seemingly free everything that happens to be paid for by selling user data and all the other negatives that come with that (like engagement at any cost).

True, there's a lot of free stuff in the tildeverse as well, but everything there exists because someone thinks it's cool and is willing to take on the financial hit to have it exist without asking for compensation.
I'm confused, if we take out the paycheck how many people have lost or broken off contact with parts or all of their family? The people are still your family but you might have not talked to them for decades, so you're maybe only part of it on paper but not in practice? So that's why I think the family term makes no sense, because there are a million possible constellations for family/immediate family/in contact/etc.
Yeah, afaik, in the old template version `npm run export` activated the `expo export` and THAT got deprecated (recently), however at the time (about half a year ago) I thought that the `--local` flag was getting deprecated. Sorry, that was a huge misunderstanding on my end!

Cannot upvote enough.

This decision reeks of DJB-hating. A lot of NIST types really hate the fact that there are now first-class hashes and symmetric ciphers that perform well without crypto-specific accelerators. This makes bugdooring a lot harder. And then the same guy went and published a curve (Ed25519) whose implementation is nearly impossible to fuck up in ways that leak your secrets.

Expo has an impressive team and investor backing

However, making your apps depend on a framework has the following dangers:

- the framework might stop being maintained

- the vc-backed framework might need to become monetized beyond your means

At the end of the day, all these frameworks offer are convenience APIs to easily integrate with native things like push notifications or social sign-ins

However, even when these work, they will force you to do things their way, and you won't be able to fully customize your app

Learning how to do these things natively in iOS and Android requires extra effort but pays off in the long term. Using frameworks, the time saved in the beginning of your app development journey will be greatly offset by the extra time required to do things like editing framework output in each build towards the end of your journey
Ah but they probably start leaching and breaking down immediately. 50 years is just when they stop being able to do their function as a fence post.

It needs to be pretty strong to sterilize, way above strong red wine. Also the stronger it is the more it dehydrates you. So if you need to compensate sterile alcohol being drunk with unsafe water in some form, you still lose overall.

So no you can't satisfy your long term hydration needs by drinking anything strong enough to be safe by its alcohol content alone.
Completely agree with this. Personal projects, blogs, etc are tools which can help pass barriers in the interview process. Normally these barriers are later in the process.

One thing I haven't seen anyone touch on here is that I think this is more relevant early on in someone's career when there is less visible history on candidates.

Sorry for off-topic, but I must say this. Sugar is the worst substance for public health ever. It's literally poison. Modern society is mostly cured of diseases of the old, but it's littered with the chronic diseases (which medical science pretends to solve by sympomatic treatment) whose only cause is sugar. I abandoned sugar cold-turkey after watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM, and am thankful to God that I was only 18 when I watched it. And no, FDA says it won't do anything about sugar, see the video.

> The problem is that nobody has yet designed a reactor that a sufficiently amoral operator could not make unsafe.

That's not true. There are many designs (e.g. molten salt reactors) where the operator cannot do anything to cause the reactor to fail.

The reason we're stuck with water reactors is mainly politics, and somewhat laziness.
GOFAI is basically "artificial intelligence" algorithms that don't involve neural networks or statistical learning. Deep Blue and Prolog (knowledge bases aka "expert systems") are your typical examples. They usually involve sophisticated tree construction and hand coded search algorithms. Modern ML also has tree stuff and symbolic algorithms but they are all heavily augmented by deep learning and probabilistic methods like Monte Carlo.

When people say Lisp was used for "AI research" and that it suffered from the "AI winter", GOFAI is what they are referring to. Neural networks exist back then but they were very small scale, good enough for some signal processing applications and as research curiosities but most of the powerful emergent capabilities were never truly realized until post millenium.
Reminds me of days of cycling across North Vietnam during the summer : 40c, tropical levels of humidity, very steep hills. I was young, stupid and stubborn.

One stop every 2 hours to chuck 500ml of beer (Bia Hanoi, pretty nice light blond), so about 4 stops a day. It worked fine ! Pee was ok color, enough tipsy to keep my sense but numb the pain of cycling. My clothes had aureola of salt and urea.
Different people can have pretty different experiences with different drugs.

Just because you have an alcohol tolerance (assuming you do) doesn't mean others do. Just thinking of myself, I'm always surprised how little it takes for alcohol to alter my psche to the point that I can't find my wallet and am speaking in tongues because I'm a huge lightweight. For some it even represents an existential risk due to overwhelming dependence. Also, if forming an difficult-to-break addiction to alcohol (super common) isn't something messing with your psyche long-term you and I have drastically different views of what constitutes "messing with your psyche."

Also I call MASSIVE BS on nicotine not doing anything significantly to the mind. Good lord, have you ever Googles "What Nicotine does to your mind" and tried reading some papers? Cognitive decline, dependence (classified as highly addictive which is a direct long-term change to your brain. How can anyone argue this isn't a significant change to your mind?), dementia, brain volume decrease, memory+attention impairment... I could go on.

What Nicotone doesn't do is cause a significant change in people's behaviour that is immediately apparent that makes them want to act in ways that are socially stigmatized - like get all cuddly... Or hug a tree... or act like a slug and laugh hysterically.... all which psychedelics tend to induce.

Again, social stigma attached to certain behaviour is the primary culprit. These are usually harmless behaviours, even if annoying.

None of which matters because as the scientific literature will attest and what I as someone who used to be strongly anti-drug will also say is:

"Despite the contrary perception of much of the public, psychedelic drugs are not addictive and are physiologically safe.[20][21][10] As of 2016, there have been no known deaths due to overdose of LSD, psilocybin, or mescaline."

If the things called Nicotine and alcohol that might fucking kill me and destroy my brain to the point I need state funds to get me rehabilitated if I'm not careful are fully legal for recreation, why in the name of all that is evidence-based do we make the thing with ZERO documented deaths illegal?

Because it is socially, culturally and politically stigmatized completely independently of its relatively low negative health impacts. Ergo, it either stays illegal or we don't use it.

I'll even end with a fresh example: in a recent lecture my friend's neuroscience prof went through the negative proven health outcomes of various drugs and concluded there really is no health-related reason for psychedelics to be illegal. At all.

You know what happened next? Some undergrads argued with the professor. Not with peer-reviewed counter-evidence or asking clarifying questions no. They responded with vehement confidence that the professor "must be wrong" and even got angry with him with complaints apparently filed. I couldn't believe it. I still struggle to.

All he did was dare to publicly break the taboo of even implicitly suggesting psychedelics should be legal recreationally because it isn't a big deal.
You have to let it happen. There will probably be a lot of suffering but rising labor costs will force solutions like automation. Most social issues in developed countries, like people having less and less relationships, are due to urbanization and technology which is more difficult to solve, but immigration is not going to fix that anyway. People recognize that endless growth is not sustainable but are too terrified of the alternative, as soon as it shows signs of slowing they want to keep it going by any means necessary.

> The existence of tools which demand time to make and primitive stone tool factories suggest abundance: division of labour is necessary to invest time in tool making for future benefit. There has to be a relative surplus, more food than not, less time for survival only, to make tools work.

I don't think that's really true. The species wasn't permanently on the brink of starvation such that they didn't have time to bend down and pick up a stick and use it to add to a shelter or throw at an animal, so in the very literal extreme sense we carry a surplus of energy with us. But the equation isn't necessarily much different between one person dividing their time between making tools and hunting, and a division over a slightly larger group. Efficiency improvements with primitive tools would have been large and quite immediate. Also people would have obvious and immediate specializations before any formal organization. Some would be faster, some stronger, some better climbers, some better at sharpening sticks. So there wouldn't have to be some significant build up of a surplus before pretty sophisticated tool making and division of labor would emerge, IMO.
In other words, somebody should forfeit what they think is hard-earned to some foreigners for nothing. We have hard enough time convincing people to share with your actual neighbours, good luck with weird people from across the world doing civil wars and female genital mutilations.

I remember reading a letter from an Austrian Trappist abbot, from Bosnia in 19th cetury, to his friend in Austria. The letter was mostly complaining about locals excessively drinking plum brandy. He had cut down all the plum trees on church land. Forbade coming drunk to mass, but then people would just get drunk after mass. Founded the first brewery in Bosnia to get the people to switch to beer. Even set up a fruit dryer so that the church would dry the plums for free so that the people did not have to make brandy out of it come winter. In January, a "jolly company" from the village came to visit him thanking him for the the dry plums. Usually by this time they would run out of brandy, now they had dry plums and were making it from them.

> the social sciences are viewed with contempt by the real scientists and engineers

They're not. They're viewed by contempt by techies with overinflated egos who don't realize that when looking at complex systems outside their area of expertise they're like junior developers coming into a legacy project guffawing at the needless complexity because they don't yet grasp the unwritten requirements that created the scar tissue they see as bad craftmanship.

Actual "real scientists" and "real engineers" understand that the social sciences are amongst the most complex of sciences because they don't have the liberty to run isolated experiments in a vacuum, run simulations and test assumptions with a pen and paper because their field of study encompasses the complexity of the entire human brain and its interaction with everything around us.

Sure, there are thousands and possibly millions of hacks in those fields but there are also thousands and millions of hacks in STEM. Imagine having your entire field judged on the musings and performance of the worst techie you know.

I live in a third-world country (Nigeria) and every part of the economy that doesn't work is because of compassionate, self-anointed do-gooders like you trying to plan the economy.

The only parts of the economy that work are the chaotic parts that the government has left alone to be developed by the greedy 'individuals hoarding and amassing more wealth and riches than they could spend or use in a thousand lifetimes.'

Even when the West sends foreign aid, it is diverted to politicians and used to equip armies that oppress the local populations, while countries like China that have left the market run its course have jumped from having a billion poor to lifting 600 million out of poverty.

Leave the market alone, keep your compassion - nobody needs it. The amoral market is the only way out of poverty.

Sounds nice...but between human nature and century-ish historical periods where various smaller groups of people were enjoying an upswing, I suspect that human beliefs in Abundance are older than Gilgamesh.

The article reads far more sensibly if one reads its "we" as being confined to a certain narrow thread of western European intellectuals.
Old European fairy-tales do mention famine and war as a backdrop. Our ancestors were perfectly used to the condition of "mostly scarcity, sometimes abundance".

You are correct that extreme scarcity will kill everyone, but places where extreme scarcity actually happens (e.g. Svalbard or Atacama) were never settled in the first place.

Traditionally inhabited places (prior to the Industrial Revolution) were the ones that could sustain some population indefinitely, and if the situation slowly worsened, people abandoned them and went elsewhere, instead of passively waiting for death. And they took their memories with them.
> That doesn't mean that recycling has "backfired".

> This problem is routinely being solved by mostly boring but useful heavy machinery.

So, yes, it did. You are making the same point as in the article: as we focused the consumer attention on "reduce, reuse and recycle" (which we actually did), focus is lost from other problems (overproduction, microplastics in consumer waste) and solutions (awareness, modernizing the recycling plants).
Interesting. I would have figured systemd would have coded around that. (Not that I've tried)
But such small models are too dumb to be acceptable for conversation. Far more likely that there will be an API call to an actually large model in the cloud. If you really don't have any network connection, you are simply out of luck. It's not as if transferring a little bit text would require a lot of bandwidth anyway.

> early Australian explorers recorded about 30% of children being killed and/or eaten business as usual.

This seems extremely unlikely.

While it is true that early European explorers of Australia were notorious for not surviving and starving en route, it is also true that very few of them, if indeed any, took children along as a form of emergency ration.

Can indicate which "early Australian explorer" you're thinking of?

Perhaps you're thinking of explorers commenting on indigenous behaviour? I'm not finding much on eating children in the works of Francis James Gillen & Walter Baldwin Spencer so again, perhaps you can provide a source?

> just curious, why you would need to force it?

For a regular reboot to work, all file-systems must be able to unmount cleanly.

If you for whatever reason have a file-system which have become non-responsive and is “hanging” any process which tries to interact with it, regular “systemctl reboot” and “systemctl reboot -force” may fail to actually trigger a reboot, further preventing you from fixing your issue with the non-responsive file-system.

In these cases “systemctl reboot —force —force” is useful. Especially on remote machines you cannot physically power-cycle.

I don’t remember the exact specifics beyond that, but this has happened to me and I’ve needed this at least once.

He was assigned to the commoner prison, not tortured. That's why he was cold and hungry.
If it's not much different why do you need to say "just use sum types"?

The distinction is that a sum type is an enumeration of types. Therefore "without having to know anything about the node" is not met as a requirement, with sum types you do know the type of the node ("one of: a, b, c, d").

Polymorphism allows an abstract relationship where you say "I support protocol: a" and then any type/class can implement that protocol without prior knowledge of the implementation.
Within 2 generations at most it's "OK boomer"

Also, there's some evidence we forget bad memories faster than good ones.
