> Note that "You don't stop securing it just because you've found one good option" is NOT the same thing as saying "You don't stop securing it until you've closed every possible security gap and compromised usability".

It seems to me that 'defense-in-depth' can very easily become a mantra that inevitably means drifting towards the latter. What are the real guidelines for telling when enough is enough? Because ime people who even can articulate anything along those lines are way, way fewer than people who make appeals to defense-in-depth.

And I think this is part of the problem: without a principled way to assess what is gratuitous, repeated appeals to defense-in-depth will lead to security practices that heavily favor having more measures in place over having a good UX. This is because the environments where information security is most valued are already organizations that frankly, do not give a shit about UX. The customers for cybersecurity products are massive bureaucracies: large enterprises, governments, and militaries. The vendors that sell those products are embedded in a broader market where no software really has to be usable, because there's a fundamental disconnect between the purchasing decision and the use of the software. For all B2B software, the user is not the customer, and it shows in a thousand ways. In infosec things are further tilted in that lots of easy routes to compliance which are terrible for UX are falsely perceived and presented as strictly required, perhaps even by law.

The idea that in a B2B market which primarily serves large organizations and governments, you will get any organic weighing and balancing of security against usability 'for free' is sheer fantasy. So where is the real counterweight to the advice that on its own recommends 'always add more, unless you have good reason not to'?
To call mmap, you are calling a function that is not in the collection of translation units that makes the program. Libraries are beyond the Standard. Include files not listed in the Standard, likewise. So you rely on Posix, there.

For objects got by casting void* to a known type, you rely on the compiler being unable to prove that the objects didn't exist already, somewhere in the program. Pray the compiler doesn't get smart enough to notice no constructor for that type is linked, meaning you that you couldn't have made that object.

This is only true to a point. Evaluating incremental cost benefits on the basis of the delta of energy loss along specific lines ignores the state change that occurs when main trunk elements of the grid become lossless and energy generation and storage solutions can be deployed in a near-location agnostic manner.

As with all toy models being applied to the real world, there are important factors to model in that aren't immediately obvious.
Ah, that's not really that different than in TypeScript then. There you have to define a callable interface, and can add whatever properties you want

interface SomethingCallableWithAnExtraProperty {
// This means you can call it like a function.
(args: Whatever): SomethingReturned

// And since it's an interface, you can still do interface-y things
anotherProperty: string

Except you can’t? You can know your arrival to the minute, but you can’t actually change it to the minute.

Which isn’t actually that much more useful than other systems. Occasionally you will be able to rely on cutting it close by scheduling your ride to arrive right before an apt, but most of the time you are basically in the same boat as in other cities: you are planning to arrive 10-30 minutes early because otherwise you would be late.

Yeah, I get that, although I'm not sure if functionalistic design is only to blame; I'd look also to a culture of disposability that inculcates the idea that if something isn't or ceases to be fully satisfactory as received from the factory, the way to address that is by throwing it out and buying something else, rather than fixing or modifying it to better suit the need.

Design is meant to exist in conversation with culture, and after such a long time developing a society that revolves around consumption I think that meaning has been lost. "Right to repair" is a partial reaction to this also, and valuable as such, but what I really want to see is a swing back in the direction of the idea that made things can and should be made to last - not as perfect, impenetrable monoliths of capital-D Design, but as longstanding participants in the lives of the people with whom they're surrounded, and which can be and are changed by those people to better meet the needs of the day and year and decade.

That isn't something the money power has any incentive to want these days, of course; every thing that need not be replaced today is a thing for which no replacement will be bought or sold today. But this is not a novel problem, and it has been solved before.

Not according to the definitions of those words that I can see

Metaphor: a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.

Cancer: a practice or phenomenon perceived to be evil or destructive and hard to contain or eradicate.

My usage is literal. Organizations that act this way have cancer. They suffer from it, they can be treated, they can die.

It's as real as it gets. I am using cancer in the body as an analogy for this form of cancer - but I am not using a metaphor.

Google results for the quoted string above are littered with results that don't say one thing about the truth.

You are just proving my point. The facts are true, but the vibes and the feelings are off, so of course it can't be true. Do you have any non anecdotal sources that they are "manufacturing models" or that "fraud and political censorship run[s] amok"? No of course not, you "feel" it does because that is a narrative you have been fed. One faculty at one small university is shady somehow implies a large number of climate faculties at a large number of universities are equally conspiratorial and manufacturing models?

Obesity rates start dramatically rising around the time aspartame came to market in 1993. CDC's data isn't very granular[0], but there is a slight upward trend until 1976-1980, the next data point 1986-1994 is significantly higher and continues to rise at a much higher rate. Obviously correlation, but obesity is a contributing factor to a significant number of diseases and health issues.

There's a Quora answer that suggests aspartame was banned in France in 2015, but aspartame searches are so astroturfed on Google that I can't find anything that confirms that. There also doesn't seem to be any obvious obesity studies with data from France after 2010, if that's true.

At least one study suggests artificial sweeteners break satiation leading to increased consumption[1].

Aspartame may not be directly toxic, but there seems to be increasing evidence that it negatively affects dietary habits of some portion of the population, and that it does not contribute to weight reduction in human consumers[2].

Indeed the sourcing is weird. The Guardian is not what it used to be.
Those are of course true at face value, but (other than the furniture example) they highlight the deeper problem with American urbanism.

A train is not necessarily a substitute for a car. For example, I have never needed a train to go food-shopping, because in all 7 different locations in which I have lived I have always lived at most a 10-minute-walk away from a supermarket (often significantly less). This was in different towns and cities in Spain, France and the UK.

Regarding going to school, my parents never needed to drive me to school. That's because I lived 5/10 minutes walking distance from my primary school and my high school (to which some of my classmates came by train, metro or bus). This was in Madrid.

And when I need to go door-to-door with no direct route, I virtually always have a trivial train/metro/bus combination available which at rush hour is faster than a car. This is in a town outside of Barcelona.

I'm not saying that all America's cities (let alone its suburbs) just need more public transport and less restrictive zoning as a magical solution. The overall residential density and cultural expectations are what they are. However, the very reason that this solution appears unfeasible is part of a self-reinforcing spiral that makes even minor gradual improvements less likely to be effective, thus less likely to be implemented, thus making other minor improvements less likely to be effective... and so it goes.
Hosts don't use it. This is for guests. Crowdsourced data.
I disagree with the way these behaviors are portrayed as a cultural dichotomy. To me, the author's examples all fall under ineffective communication.

Their example of "ask culture" involves stoking resentment by making unreasonable requests. This can be avoided by practicing a little empathy. Ask questions, provide some basic context, and offer an escape hatch: "What are you busy with? I need X because Y. It's fine if you can't, I can also get it from Z".

Their example of "guess culture" sounds like mind-reading and ambiguous non-verbal signaling, maybe even to the point of being passive aggressive. Again, use empathy. Volunteer information that others might want to know. Be genuinely curious, ask questions. Communicate.

Make sure both parties know enough to make informed decisions.
> in fact many localities have already tried this with human drivers,

> and it's been an abject failure.

For the product being delivered (low speed, low latency, available only in specific areas), public transit is criminally expensive. I'm not surprised people prefer driving in suburban areas. If it was 1/10th price, or free, it becomes a lot more attractive. Free is impossible if you have to pay salaries to human drivers.

Driverless vehicles don't have to be 4-seater cars. They can be much smaller, like the Smart Car, or a single person enclosed three-wheeler.
You had to do the hard work or you couldn't get a job, end of story.

Sounds great, but I feel like there's a piece I'm not seeing there. Your school had a stable of interviewers who wanted specifically to work with your graduates? They effectively served as the ultimate graders, assessing how much your students learned? Presumably with your personal recommendation?

That's awesome. I wish more places would hire based on an in-depth understanding of the candidate's capabilities. That's a hard skill, but potentially yields a lot of "bargains" by finding new people with potential but not demonstrable experience.
While Europe is not immune (and obesity is rising), I suspect the EU will have a much more pro-active attitude towards stemming the rise.

It's hard to find data, but America had an early, meteoric rise in obesity starting in the 90s (after a slow rise in the 80s) that I believe is far worse than what Europe saw. Europe is catching up, however, and I imagine there's at least some "americanization" of food to be blamed here.
Most cows raised in the US are not raised on grazed grass, they're raised on corn and soy. That process is very inefficient when compared to growing plants that we eat directly.

I dunno. In the classic "Tech Enthusiast vs Engineer" meme [0], I lean towards the Engineer with a hint of Security tech.

That sounds awesome! Do you have that flag set on a big codebase? Was it a big hassle to turn it on (like you had to remediate a bunch of code that didn't handle exceptions before you could check it in). Have you seen any big changes since enabling it?
My point was that the dev knows "sta" is currently available as an abbreviation for "start", and when he adds "status" it no longer will be. So if he wants to maintain strict backwards compatibility he should add it back in manually. It's no longer unambiguous, but it does maintain the previous behavior.

Of course I personally would go with option two, where its documented that the abbreviations exist but are subject to change and you shouldn't rely on them.
For what it's worth, some dedicated hotspot gadgets expose a GPS service over TCP (the protocol is often somewhat inaccurately called NMEA), and a standalone USB-connected GPS receiver can be <$20.

For tablets, I believe often the GPS receiver is on the same chip as the cellular modem, so you don't tend to get GPS without that.

It's disappointed in the past partly because it's slow and expensive because you have to pay human drivers. And because there's a human driver, you have to have at least a 4-seater vehicle and that increases fuel and maintenance costs.

Signal priority is only at signals. I'm talking about private cars changing lanes to let public transit pass through. Human drivers will only do it for emergency vehicles, but you can make it a condition of licensing for a private driverless vehicle.
