That may work relatively well with consumables like food. But it extends in many directions. I have fans and a space heater and extra blankets and etc. All of them are available for a houseguest to use. Many of them are stored in the guest room.

I've had "guess culture" people stay over. Really, in my mind they don't even need to ask. They're already welcome to take an extra blanket. But they won't even ask, and they certainly wouldn't presume. They are indeed waiting on me to say "oh, if you're warm the fan can be plugged in, and there's some extra blankets in the closet if you want". Though in my mind, I don't need to say that. And if I don't say it they may go very uncomfortable.

I'm most used to giving such reassurances to children, and to give them to adults seems a little infantilizing. But that's my relatively "ask culture" background in action, probably.

I agree that it sucks, but realistically I think that's the way it already has been, just with stack overflow, blog posts, books, etc. Nobody wants to adopt the new/better stack because it's not mature, so it never gets mature.
I don’t think you have considered the slippery slope that comes after.
Why would anyone need bolt cutters to extract the drives? I have a couple Win98 PCs in the basement, and you just unscrew the drives. The password on it didn't encrypt the drives, either.

As for the password, this is the old days. Could probably google how to crack the password for it. Or just try the classic 123456, querty, password, or letmein.
There is a real estate bubble, and everyone, especially government entities, are deeply invested.
In what kind of situation would logs be the only thing a malicious actor could access? If they exploited the application that writes them, then they have as much access as the application has — and if its job includes creating access tokens, it definitely has access to the database that stores user accounts.

Wow, there is a similar comment above[0] suggesting radiation badges for flight crew. I was going to ask if typical badges are sensitive enough to register the expected dose from flight.

If I understand correctly, you're saying a single commercial flight is enough to trip the dosimeter?

Cars are huge because MPG regulations get easier as cars get larger. I'd say repeal/rework the MPG regulations, but that's a California law so the rest of the country doesn't get a say.
Is it really that straightforward? Is this suit brought by a formal organization bringing suit on behalf of its members? Would the members have standing to sue on their own? Are the interests in question germane to that organization’s purpose? Are the individuals required for the litigation? These are all (arguably) factual questions making summary judgment inappropriate.

However I’m guessing you know something I don’t. What am I missing?

You can also be more empathetic with ask culture and soften or make the request more obvious to say no to.

Instead of saying "can you do x" you can say "i know you're busy so no pressure whatsoever but if you're available can you do me out with x? feel free to say no my feelings won't be hurt"

Yea it's a lot more words but the general gist is you ask with an additional explicit "out" for the other person so they can say no using your pre-provided excuse instead of them having to come up with one. I've found this over communication can be useful for bridging the gap sometimes
Wouldn't it likely need to charge up capacitors over time anyway?
"Going further with stereotypes, some people say west coast is guess, east is ask."

My experience is the opposite. I grew up in New England, and it seemed like there were a large number of unspoken norms (in both business and personal culture) that were really hard to grok. Moving out to the Bay Area, people are refreshingly direct. "Want to come work for equity on my crypto startup?" "No, you're crazy." "Okay goodbye!"

I think that where hypocrisy and indirection are ingrained in Silicon Valley, it's because of diverging incentives and a lust for power. In other words, people won't unconsciously hurt your feelings because they assume you would've consciously spoken up; they will consciously screw you over because they want that billion dollar deal. It feels very much like an ask culture, though, regardless of how crazy the asks are.
This thing is Stable Diffusion's drunken vision of a cyberpunk dystopia.

I recently spotted a crazy tourism article about visiting cathedrals, with a listicle and photos of the putative tourists. It was hilarious.

First they named at least three massive, famous non-cathedrals and didn't even attempt to explain or qualify their classification.

The photos clearly depicted a woman and a girl in sleeveless, light summer dresses, and I was screaming. They'll never be admitted to church dressed like that, but this was explained, and then they were pictured donning shawls.

It was just a random clickbait from my feed, but it was peak irresponsible journalism.
You would probably charge some on-site capacitors using a slower interconnect. That way you would only need a small distance to handle the discharge from the capacitors to the lasers.
Agree 100%. This is the way (or use SCP).
I would suspect something like “the adhesive in electrical tape is carcinogenic” over “magnetic field cause cancer”.

But who knows. If they do we are deeply, truly fucked.
Did this increase the safe dosage amount of radiation?
A different reason why it's good that it doesn't support wheel:

- it makes it smaller, less code which can go wrong

- su isn't limited to "set user root" but wheel tends to be

- it avoids having to handle many kind of subtle problems with group based permission handling in linux

It's just not a bad idea to have a very minimalist program like su and then delegate all more complicated "acting as user" permission handling to other programs like sudo or doas.

Through tbh. the more I do learn the more I come to believe that uid/gid based permission handling is fundamentally flawed (but also good enough inside of a single application OCI(docker) image). The facts that Linux had to add a (very limited) capability system or that enterprise permission handling often goes through stuff like pollkit adding additional handling then just "gid/uid match" is I think very telling.
And the CAFE standards that make "trucks" exempt from most fuel efficiency rules.
Enthusiasm is usually the key, so it's important to aim for some small, achievable goal that you'd like to achieve. For example, making a game; or automating something on your computer; or doing something interactive/visual on a Web page; or analysing some dataset; etc. If you pick a project you care about, it makes the required reading, trial-and-error, etc. much less tedious. Likewise, if you're not at all interested in some sub-field, then no amount of hand-holding, gamification, drag-and-drop tooling, etc. will make up for that!

If your chosen task seems daunting, feel free to break it into something simpler (e.g. for a game, turn-based may be easier than realtime; text interaction may be easier than graphics; 2D easier than 3D; etc.)

Your choice of project will then determine your learning path. For example, Web stuff is all about Javascript; but data analysis may be better in Python; and automation may be easier with Applescript; etc.

I would avoid starting with something "overly ceremonial"; e.g. Java forces everything into a "class hierarchy", Rust requires references to be "borrowed", C requires memory to be manually allocated and freed, etc.

So-called "scripting" languages are a good way to avoid such complications, e.g. Python, Scheme, Javascript, etc. That way you can focus on one thing at a time (you can learn class hierarchies, borrow-checking, memory management, etc. later!).

Avoid languages/systems which have a bad reputation, e.g. Perl, PHP, C, Bash, etc. When learning, it's hard to know what's fundamental and what's just a quirk of that particular system; learning with a particularly-quirky system can make this harder.

When learning a concept, try it in a few different languages (again, to work out what's fundamental)

Don't bother too much about "good practice" or "bad practice" when learning. Make a note if you come across such recommendations, but they can lead to second-guessing oneself and unneeded complexity that obscures what's going on. Focus on "minimum viable projects". Also, following advice that you're not yet able to understand can lead to "cargo culting". Once you're confident/competent enough that you can hack together some solution, you can revisit that advice to see why some approaches may be better than others.

Once you start to feel comfortable, try playing with some big new idea. Sometimes it can help to use a radically different language which forces you to think in that new way; good examples include Prolog (logic programming), Pure (term rewriting), Haskell (pure functional), Smalltalk (message-passing), Forth (stack based). This is good for making you think more deeply, and gain a better understanding of what's going on.
okay, that's just an idiosyncratic requirement. i don't ask that anyone do that for any of the cultures i'm from, nor does anybody that i know. hell, i haven't even read my own culture's classic literature!
Does it even need a new language version? If the compiler already spits out the error "hey, your Fart() function should be annotated with 'throws ButtsException'", couldn't an IDE relatively easily be configured to automatically add the " throws " annotations?

The part I don’t understand is that you feel Gawker was scum. Thiel removed Gawker’s ability to be scum. Thus, by logic, the world was improved.

Isn’t that the core of what you’re saying you wish billionaires did? Improve the world?

Quoting you:

> I can't stand it that people with such an opportunity for improving the world around them would squander it and wreck it.

This seems like the crux of our disagreement. I feel the law is a means to an end. Is it correct that you feel the law is the end of the debate? Or that people who can afford to accept the penalties under the law are scum for choosing to accept such penalties?

I’m trying to make your worldview consistent and complete, but there might be a Gödel problem here.
The papers call for 10^8 individual lasers. So power connectors only need to handle a small fraction of the total power.
Interesting thoughts!

On structured iteration programming, it might be a valuable first step/prototype to see if you can generate a fact/association graph from historical discussions about programming language qualities.

Much has been written (and continues to be!) in many high signal:noise sources. And some lower ones.

(1) extracting a relationship graph between all mentioned qualities and (2) generating sentiment analysis on those relationships (even if positive/neutral/negative/unknown) might help bootstrap a more comprehensively-populated version that can then be refined.
When I think of short session expiry I think that access_tokens have a limited timespan so if they get accidentally logged the remote end or the person is fired their access lapses. This is a good idea.

If we are talking about bounding the lifetime of a refresh token, I agree with the articles, but that is not what I think of when I think about credential expiry. Credentials that you send to third parties should be short lived. I think without that underlying distinction the article is dangerously confusing. Time-bound credentials have many useful features.
Station wagons used to fit that requirement.

This stinks of no-one-knows-what-the-fuck-they-are-doing-itis, a common problem in the software engineering community. When mixed with a deadly dose of sunk-cost-fallacy-itis and project-death-march-itis, the only way out is adding more JavaScript until it creates a singularity from the accumulated mas and sucks the project into oblivion.

Trying to fight one of these off now. We don't need a fancy shit ass UI. We just need stuff that works and is simple. But plenty of one-trick pony developers and architects who build complicated mechanisms out of piles of nodejs and microservices which merely consume time, energy and attention and delivery sweet fuck all ROI.

We don’t fail to realize that.

Security folks are humans too.

We realize that every human loves convenience and security removes conveniences. Simple As.

No matter what we do as security folks, the users will do everything possible to return to their convenience or complain about the inconvenience until the security is removed.

I’m not saying there aren’t over zealous security folk but our goal isn’t to make humans lives harder. We want to make it harder for the bad guys to ruin humans lives.
I stand corrected. So three white women felt that out of all the VC funds in the nation, they felt threatened by these three black women?

It’s even worse that it’s women going after other women.

Of all the startups I’ve

If that was in any way accepted then we'd have radiation inoculation treatments mandatory for everyone at a young age.
The 6 months expiring thing happened to me - the only amusing thing was the confused look on someone's face after I passed the provisional test and then got in my car by myself and drove off

I always found it a little backwards how you can just arrive at Heathrow with a license from anywhere else and jump behind the wheel, but after 6 months you magically lose the ability to drive.

Best of luck
While I hope the US will treat AI development with that level of tenacity, I wouldn't count on it
well yes

however it sort of undermines the "insane compatibility" / "stable API" point if mass-market Windows software produced before the 2001 release of XP mostly doesn't work on modern Windows

There may be an obvious language barrier here, but the coupling of a positive with a negative response feels very odd to me in English. I'm reminded of the old song (it was used for an advertising jingle for a product or company I can't remember) "Yes, we have no bananas!"

Adjacently, I really dislike the courtroom phrasing "Isn't it true?" that is sometimes depicted in legal dramas.

.envs generally aren't full blown shell, so you don't have `export` available. With that said, I keep a shell function in my .zshrc which, when given a .env file (or when not given one, assuming $PWD/.env) will set -a, source it and set +a, which loads everything into the environment.
People/stakeholders who want use the browser as an application platform.

Think data analysis tools, Intranet tools, e-commerce, and a host of B2B stuff?

I know, it all starts with a filterable list or a shopping basket, where page reloads or ajax "sprinkles" (regardless of what they're loading, HTML or JSON) are absolutely OK.

Especially the fully old-school approach with the page reloads - it can work and scale for simple and predictable requirements.

Until it doesn't - the first page with 5 interdependent autocomplete inputs takes weeks to develop and fix, the modals can't have routes without piles of jQuery hacks, and so on and ao forth
I gotta say, I sympathize with their "goes against every instinct" plight. If I had joined a team 2 months ago, and they'd been working on something for a year, and I was thinking "we should scrap this and start it over from scratch," I'd be really, really suspicious of my own thinking. Scrap and start over is such a tantalizing programmer thought for something that seems complicated and broken, and you'll almost always want to do it, and it's almost always the wrong call. Glad it was the right call here.
I think DJB at some point expressed the desire for a boring compiler with an absolute minimum of UB, and I concur.

I want some sort of flag that disables all this nonsense.

* Uninitialized variable? Illegal, code won't compile.

* Arithmetic overflow? Two's complement

* Null pointer call? Either won't compile, or NULL pointer dereference at runtime worst case.

Yeah, I'm aware -fwrapw and the like exist. But it'd be nice to have a -fno-undefined-behavior for the whole set.

I would absolutely prefer a cab to Uber now. The pricing was better, the service was better, we weren't expected to mutually review each other, and I could flag one down on the street. If I walked to a taxi stand, it was instant satisfaction.

The only things that improved with Uber were price and coverage, and they tried to fool us into seeing other improvements that didn't exist, largely by painting cab drivers as scary, stinky, subhuman swindlers and implying people that drove Uber were all part timers who usually worked at real jobs. Now the prices are sky high and the things take as long or longer as cabs did to show up.

Maybe there's room for an Uber in tiny places that don't need cab companies or even full time cabbies, but everywhere else, they've just added another layer of rentseeking over a familiar experience. We could have gotten rid of the medallion system without replacing it with this thing. Let's make gigwork illegal so Uber will have to contract with local companies, or reduce themselves to people they're willing to employ.
Maybe I'm completely misunderstanding things, but this article mentions arithmetic overflow as being a problem in C and C++ but isn't this exactly a problem in Go as well? There's no checked arithmetic in Go, right?

I guess the difference between Go and C/C++ is that Go at least won't optimize away the overflow check? But it still doesn't insert it for you either.

There are ways around that, by phrasing questions in a different way so the other person does not have to respond with a hard "no". Yes, this requires prior acquaintance with that communication culture, and integration by relative outsiders can be difficult.
Its the same sort of reason why "kids are good at computers" is a thing. Turns out if you don't know to be afraid you can just start doing things and seeing what happens. It's a sort of mental block I encountered a lot when I used to tutor people with computers and electronics. As people get older they start to assign infinate value to things they have stored away while being too afraid to actually go and check what is there, so they become afraid to change anything

Ultimately it comes down to an attittude of "so what?" - So long as our important memories are backed up/somwhere else, and we're using github properly, there isnt likely to be anything hugely important we can destroy. And i've not seen anyone fully wipe a system yet anyways, its ususally something more like deleting the system installation of python, or messing up something internal in apt. Those can be fixed and turn into valuable learning themselves
Though we can appreciate the intense faith of Silicon Valley lore, this interpretation of the law is bizarrely narrow. The somewhat religious belief in progress is non-representative of the human experience. The function of the human race isn't to secure commercial services of convenience at any cost. It is possible that your beliefs don't correspond to the goals of local or global communities. For instance all you have to do is actually use a self-driving, slow/jerky/annoying Cruise car to know it'll be about as ubiquitous as a Segway, uses way more resources than is justifiable and that more public transit would do a better, and more environmental friendly job of getting people places. In summary, we have laws because other people exist and we live in a modern economy. Syria/Iraq/Russia operate more in line with your thinking and bend the laws for the rich (you know, for "progress").

> Why is running fiber somehow more expensive than dsl, cable, or power cables?

Because we’re running fiber in the 21st century while DSL, cable, and power have mostly already been in the ground for decades. The cost of building any kind of infrastructure has increased exponentially over the decades. We literally could not build today a lot of the infrastructure we already have in the ground—e.g. the New York subway.

> Chattanooga's EPB runs fiber to every home that has power.

EPB got a $110 million grant from the ARRA ($1,000 per fiber subscriber), and also leverages economies of scale because the fiber network is used both for the electric grid and the fiber service.

I think that’s actually a great way to deploy fiber, but it doesn’t tell you anything about the economics of a fiber provider that isn’t the electric utility.
