>Do not do this. It's just crappy security practice.

>Password managers give you versions & history (you need to rotate passwords occasionally), a TOTP generator+seed store, configurable password generator using a schemes of characters (some websites only allow specific characters), is encrypted at rest & in memory so it's more secure than a piece of paper in your wallet, is backed up online, and of course you only have to memorize one master password. (use BitWarden or 1Password, the rest have downsides/limitations)

This depends a lot on your threat model. You basically have three options for password managin, paper, cloud (eg. bitwarden), local (eg. keepass).

Paper is mainly vulnerable to people in your life, government, etc. But your passwords can is safe from malware, digital exploits and so on. The vulnerabilities can be reduced by using a second factor that must be combined with the information in the notebook. The biggest problem with the paper approach is probably accidental loss. It's much more difficult to make backups.

Cloud password managers have plenty of issues. I'll let the LastPass security incident section on Wikipedia speak for itself[0]

Local password managers work, but there are plenty of potential vulnerabilities: Rogue developers, attacks on the development supply chain, local malware, etc. Some of this could be reduced by accessing passwords only in sandboxed OSes. However, nobody does that.

In the end most people end up relying on not being a big target. These methods all work for most people, as long as they aren't the target of a nation state or other big actor.

> Journalists are addicted to attribution.

Having actually been the subject of news stories a few times (appearing in multiple papers each time), I doubt that. Journalists managed to shuffle quotes around people, e.g. putting my words in someone else’s mouth or someone else’s in mine, or creatively edited what I said and hence distorting it (published inside double quotes of course), even though I gave all of them a printed document of everything I said in the interview and more.

From my perspective as an advertiser, mobile/local PPC has taken over, be it Local Service Ads or regular search ads listings that show up in maps.

SMART ads that use your GMB profile instead of your website go GANGBUSTERS for brick and mortar clients, who love them.

I wonder how long you have been gone, and if it's possible that they have taken over so much since you left that your statements here are no longer true.
Of course Apple adding support in Safari is far more important than Internet outrage!

At this point adding new {image, audio, video, compression} codecs to browsers is probably a net negative, unless there's a good chance they get deployed across the entire browser ecosystem. Safari is generally the browser that's most conservative about implementing anything new, so their support makes a huge difference in the viability of getting the format universally supported.

I was going to argue with you, then realized I already have argued with you about this very subject. Instead, I'll suggest you try some different games. For me, Dark Souls replicated that Ocarina of Time feeling for me as an adult, which is about the highest praise I can give a game. There are also indie games (Tunic comes to mind) that revive the old Zelda style but put interesting twists on it.

> The notion that Bernie is more popular among "both parties and among independents" is fantasy. Sanders is bonafide far left. He is a brilliant person and has wonderful ideas, but he had 0 chance in a general.

Your assumption seems to be that people's political preferences fall on a single dimension dictated by the Establishment's Overton Window. I see now reason to assume that.

Noam Chomsky has gotten standing ovations in places like deeply rural and xenophobic California. Even though he's an anarchist.

(Sanders' policy preferences, on the other end, aren't even far left—they're only “far left” because the Overton Window of American politics is far right.)

> But I get where the "more popular among both" myth comes from. Loads of right wingers talked him up because they think this is their clever divide and conquer approach, and it is simply amazing that anyone actually falls for.

I hate how people denigrate "conspiracy theories". Of course people can conspire: a small group of people with a lot of power can definitely get together in smoke-filled backrooms.

But this theory of yours is much more unlikely: a lot of right-wingers seemingly organically cheering on people like Bernie Sanders in order to divide-and-conquer the Left (whatever "the Left" is). That kind of mass astroturfing is much harder to pull off.

What's more likely? That many right-wingers simply like Sanders, or that thousands of them got together and decided to, against all of their instincts, fake enthusiasm in public in order to own-the-libs?
Totally agreed that construction costs should be distributed in a manner proportional to usage.

I'm curious though; is road damage based on total vehicle weight, or just the weight on each tire? If the latter, I think the formula should reflect that in order to incentivize vehicles to distribute weight across more tires in order to minimize road damage where that makes sense.

I'm also curious about how much wear is caused by vehicles vs other factors, like the weather. I'd guess that probably depends a lot on the local climate in each state.

I should also point out that maintenance costs aren't the only cost associated with road usage; even light cars take up space on the road, creating traffic and thus reducing the utility for other drivers. Any charges should thus include the cost of additional lanes needed to accommodate those vehicles regardless of their weight.

In an ideal world I'd probably base the cost on miles driven, plus an additional charge based on an estimate of additional maintenance costs incurred depending on mileage, vehicle weight, number of tires, and the local climate. But then you also have to take into account the bureaucratic cost of enforcement, and how complicated you can make things before those costs exceed the benefits of accurate distribution of costs to consumers. Definitely a complex issue.
If anything, it'd be AVIF.

WebP is obsolete. It's still based on VP8 codec, which in video has been replaced by VP9 long time ago. AVIF is based on AV1, which is a successor to VP10. So WebP is a few generations behind in the VPx lineage, and is no match for modern codecs.

I have a similar experience. The addition of all the places details and reviews that are accessible inside of Google Maps has actually expanded its usefulness. Google Maps has grown to be more than just navigation software for me. I live in the US but was in Berlin recently. It seems that Google reviews have supplanted Yelp as the main platform for reviews over there. It honestly made things simpler and easier and I can see in the US it looks to be trending in the same direction.

I actually have more of an issue with the busyness of google.com and the search in Youtube than I do with the changes in Google Maps.

These guys also tried to submit PRs on the Notesnook[0] repository. The PRs are really good but there's no way to talk to the actual developer working behind those PRs. They have a single central account named "gitstart" and all PRs that any of their user works on falls under that account. Of course, we couldn't accept PRs from them because they don't follow DCO[1] i.e., DCO requires that the committer MUST NOT be an organization.

I talked to them about this and they said they'd work on it etc. etc. Not sure if anything has changed in that regard or not.

Raku: The Variable Lifecycle

In contrast, I think it's going to get really interesting when a tipping point is reached.

At some point, EVs will replace enough of the automobile population that gasoline sales decline below profitability for most petrol stations.

While the ordinary thought is that this will happen gradually, it seems more likely to resemble the dynamics of an animal population that suddenly has insufficient food (whether by over-breeding or a food supply shortage). This dynamics is not that if the population is 110% of the food supply that 10% die off, it is more like a crash where 90% die off in such a situation; the starvation is evenly distributed so almost no one gets enough to survive.

So, when petrol stations have a great crash and mostly die off, suddenly the range anxiety will be pervasive in the petrol-powerd drivers. Which will make them want to get out even more, etc.

There's probably solutions to this, but will it be managed in time? Petrol-station subsidies seem like a bad idea...

Somebody did it.
Huh?

"First, two young people have their lives taken when car drivers crash into them. It’s astounding to me that Americans accept this constant death and destruction as part of a transportation system."

Are there countries that don't have car crashes? Please list them, I'm sure everyone would like to know how they've prevented this.

"Second, one person takes a pretty irrational interest in the success of a student with a 1.6 GPA and gives them some basic confidence and support they had apparently never received from the education system. That struggling student is now a medical doctor and the first person in their family to graduate from college."

This is an indictment on the American system how? It seems like the opposite to me. Is your stance that no one should ever have to struggle? You believe regardless of success in secondary education everyone should just be sent to medical school? You do realize that EVERY country that provides "free" higher education has pretty stringent requirements to get in. In the US, anyone that has the money, wants to take out a loan, or does well in school can go to college. All that would happen if everyone though the way you do, is that you would just dilute the pool of applicants and you'd still have people that didn't get successful jobs. You're already seeing this with the federal loans letting everyone into college in the US.

It's obvious you just hate the US, but at least come up with some logical stances for the reasons. You failed miserably at describing any legitimate reason for your staunch hatred.
To find young players, try posting something with college math departments. I met the most young local bridge players through the area community college.

I'm interested in trying your game if testing is open. I find simpler trick games (hearts, euchre, spades, some branded card games like The Crew) get people ready for simple bidding using bridge rules, but they don't do anything to teach the concept of using bids to communicate beyond the bid's face value.
I changed my comment to ignore the tax treatment since dividends from stocks held for more than a year are taxed the same way capital gains are taxed.

> Yes but if your numbers are constant you can still pay dividends, as long as you're profitable,

Is this not where the money for share buybacks comes from? The business can choose to pay dividends (cash), or it can spend the cash on buying back its shares. Either way, it should offset equally.

>while if you need to provide capital gains you need to increase the numbers so the share price will go up.

This does not make sense. The share price depends on supply and demand of the share. If the business is doing share buybacks, then there is less supply and more demand for the shares, hence share price increase.

Anyway, my point is the pressure for growth has nothing to do with share buybacks versus dividends. Investors like more money than less money just like anyone else does. One could even say all these taxpayer underfunded pension plans for government employees that have long assumed 8%+ growth to meet their obligations are “pressuring” businesses for growth.

At least do some research my friend. Hackers compromised a digitally signed SolarWinds Orion network monitoring component, opening a backdoor into the networks of thousands of SolarWinds government and enterprise customers.
Solarwinds was the exact same problem. the cloud service was centralized and thousands of server where hacked because of it.

just because you install something yourself does not make it self hosted.

Lastly this was a supply chain attack. which means too that if the government is able to roll their own stuff, or use open source products that can be reviewed properly, this would not have happened.
I get the pedantic line you are trying to draw here, but self-censorship is different than editing.

I've never even heard of people using custom float formats outside of an fpga. And bignum seems useful for things that are not cpu-bound. If you need simd, or vectorization, including gpu acceleration, you use the format the hardware and compiler/optimizer support to meet your throughput needs. And on x86_64 aarch64 or spirv, thats a ieee floating point for better or worse.
Floating point numbers are the most useful approximation to reals we have on a computer.

That isn't an "elitist" view. I don't get what you are on about, seems ridicolous. People need to learn to use the systems they are working with any highschooler can understand what floating point numbers are and why they have flaws. It is really simple.
I did start putting time into other games besides Tears of the Kingdom....after I put over 100 hours into the game (still not done with it, just want to be able to return to it later and still have more I can do, savor it a bit). I'll still watch a TOTK video whenever one gets suggested to me on Youtube or Facebook.

Even 100+ hours (without getting sick of it) is insane for a modern game for me. Like I put 35 hours into God of War Ragnarok and did most of the things (left maybe 10-15 hours worth of samey boring or overly difficult side activities) and I felt that overly padded that game out, I would have been happier with that game if it were about 20 hours long, I think. Still a great game though. One of the small handful of games I've completed the story for in the past five years.

Persona is the only other series I can usually get close to that many hours in without getting sick of it (I think I put 80 into Persona 5).
From the context I'm not entirely sure what "it"is.

Hey, Docusaurus maintainer here.

I'm not sure to understand what you mean by "Docusaurus is static".
Docusaurus builds static pages and allows you to plug JS/React code anywhere in your docs, so it's quite interactive and can run anything that can run in a browser, including REPLs.

I read the Fly article but still don't really understand what Livebook is about.
They say they use Livebook themselves, but the examples linked to only display a regular non-interactive doc to me.

Do you have any production url showing me an experience that is possible in Livebook, and impossible in Docusaurus?

If you choose not to discuss something because you know it's an unpopular opinion in some circle and may lead to nasty and from your perspective unconstructive criticism, it seems reasonable to call that self-censorship even if it doesn't fit the dictionary definition of censoring (which primarily applies to the government or other authority body).
