I hate to be that guy, but maybe you should recheck some of your premises here because you're stating something that's really specific that might not be objectively factual.

This is a pretty complicated topic, but here's a starting point for investigation.

> I feel like we need a simpler way to talk about whether or not it is safe for people to go outside, for how long, etc., and I feel like the current reporting regime does not accomplish that.

How is knowing a few basic weather statistics like the temperature, wind speed, precipitation, and a few others like that too confusing? I know how to look out of the window, look at the weather report, and dress myself like a big boy.

This feels more like an attempt to make idealogical propaganda than a genuine attempt to inform people.
Umm, two concurrent rename(2) syscalls to the same destination path will likely both succeed. One of them will win (not be overwritten), but both should succeed.

If you want atomic creation of a path, where no one else can succeed also, you want link(2) not rename(2).

for that kind of thing I would imagine more late binding in the language is helpful

at the level Rust works, late binding is hard to do but I don't think it's impossible. Name mangling and calling conventions are a couple big obstacles.
Everyone that uses letsencrypt has a cron installed to auto-renew. Certbot needs two permissions to work:

1. perform the necessary verification, of which there are many, placing a file on your website is just one possibility.

2. place the generated certificates in some location where the webserver can read them.

Neither of these steps requires root if you know what youre doing.

I don’t know if I will sound rude, but your example itself illustrates the crux of problem.

The only way you could know that the output was wrong was because you could verify it in the first place.

You can’t verify answers for questions in unfamiliar domains - or even for novel questions in your own domain.

sun effect is strong without a proper diet and outdoor activity. For example tomatoes are natural sun protection from the inside, much more efficient than creams & cosmetics. So it depends on the person lifestyle, you can't draw general conclusion from that trucker
It doesn’t necessarily, people are just conditioned to using root for things that don’t necessarily need it because it’s easier.
The days of plain HTTP were amazing, from the point of view of a teenage hacker that hung out at the public library of a college town.

At one point when Facebook started becoming popular, I had a script on my laptop that would grab session cookies from other people on the network and post things to the victims' facebook status like "I'm using unsecured wifi at the public library and I like to sniff butts"!

Learning that stuff taught me a lot about network security, and left me with a wariness of trusting networks that I don't control that I still keep close to heart long into my career.

I'm tired of people who throw generic garbage on other people's opinions without any explanation. If you have to pretend like you know who other people are and what they've done, you're literally making up evidence for an ad hominem argument against a stranger.

If you weren't full of it, you'd defend your position rather than wasting your time denigrating strangers. Even worse, smart people are going to reply to you in order to make your argument for you. So then people to try to have a real discussion within this poisonous context. All over the internet, over and over again.

Moderators enforce quality thresholds and keep trolls out that makes those communities possible.

They used lots of custom bots to do this. Many, such as bots that detected abuse from users, used Pushshift, an API and front-end for crawling through archived Reddit posts. (Reddit's API limits you to 1000 posts/thread and has rate limits on the number of posts you can search through.)

Apollo and other apps aside, a large chunk of the protests from moderators were because of how the API would render their moderation bots completely useless and Reddit's inability to provide better alternatives.

Most vocal amongst them was the moderation team of /r/AskHistorians, an extremely well-curated sub that heavily used bots to enforce their very high submission and participation standards.

This is far too charitable. The first question we should ask is "does it actually work?" and the answer is NO.

X11, and especially remote X11, is deprecated anyway, so expect to see more devs ignoring its existence. It will gradually become so complicated to fix that it's easier to just let the code rot and concentrate on Wayland as the way forward.
Back in the day, there was a certain exciting novelty to eBay, often for people who had little experience with auctions. People could also convince themselves that if everyone else thought something was worth more than they did, maybe they knew something--but most likely they didn't. So, yeah, the thrill of the hunt was certainly part of it.
Growing up in lake tahoe, we would spray "Scotch Guard" on tons of things, to make them 'waterproof' in winter, like all our ski gear, and even some furniture.

Scotch Guard is basically 'spray teflon' and is super toxic for you, but in the 80s we were encourdaged to spray it all over the place.

If you think about it, selling "unlimited" anything is really false advertising.

If it has value that people are willing to pay for, the available supply is limited by real world factors. It's only a matter of time until some limits are introduced --- one way or another.

This sentiment you describe is probably more indicative of the distinct groups of people you hang out with. No one I know would be more interested in benching over making something actually useful. Also going to the gym isn’t what I would call hard work but I used to dig fence post holes in 100+ degree heat for 12 hours a day as a teen and that’s what I would consider hard. You want to see a lot of people working hard head over to your local farm and begin to realize how 99% of people will never work as a hard as farmer. Your next task will be to realize that even with working far more than others as a farmer you can still live a terrible life.

I don't think something so sophisticated would be required in this case (but it would definitely do the trick). Semiconductor manufacturing is easily the most fragile industry on earth, inclusive of nuclear and aerospace.

If you wanted to completely cripple a fab, you wouldn't need a fancy computer program. All you would need to do is sneak some copper dust into a filter for an air handler and wait for chaos to emerge from yield analysis a few weeks (or months!) later. It wouldn't take much. An amount trivial to get past security. IIRC, Intel had incidents that could be traced back to fertilizer being spread a few counties over. The amount of time it takes to perform this defect analysis is what an intelligence agency would want to target in its activities. Without stable root cause analysis, no practical forward decision making can happen. You can easily get trapped in a vicious cycle of complexity.

Getting the fab clean again from this kind of contamination would be like starting over in many ways. You'd have to redo some recipes (because you'd have to throw away some tools) and many of your statistical baselines would be completely fucked - semiconductor mfg relies on statistical process control that takes time to settle, which is why you hear this term "ramping" a lot in the business. For flash memory or older LSI process nodes, you could recover a lot faster. When you are already operating at the bleeding edge, the slightest amount of malice is like the end of the universe by comparison.
It has native controller support as well, evidenced by the fact that it is also available on switch.

certbot copies the file to be served as part of the challenge. It can optionally can modify your nginx config to use the cert once its obtained. I don't see why it needs root to do this, but you'd at least need permissions for it to read/write to the appropriate nginx & server folders.
You seem to operate under the assumption that certificate revocation does anything on the web. In practice it is only useful in the presence of mandatory OCSP stapling. And mandatory it is not.

All switches have this problem, even low-voltage or AC ones. Slow switches, or switches that bounce, create arcs. This damages the contacts and can be hazardous.

This is one reason switches are "clicky". The action of completing or breaking the circuit must happen quickly. Switches have springs in them, which ensure the switch goes between the two extremes as quickly as possible. The springs oppose the motion for first part of the travel. Partway through the travel, they suddenly start to assist the motion and force the switch the rest of the way.
That's great news. I wonder what will happen to ongoing roadmap and all the bug/feature requests that were pending.

I fear that sooner or later the APIs will become non-compatible so the only "good move" would be to jump to OpenTF as soon as possible to avoid complication. But for entreprise it will be a tough jump: updating all tooling, scripts, deployment flows, CI, compliance check, etc.
You can enable optional features on Rust analyser. For example, to enable ssr Leptos feature on VSCode, you'd need to create a .vscode/settings file:

}

Currently, though, you cannot enable the incompatible "hydrate" feature at the same time, sadly.

If the maintainers can keep a good throughout of pull request approvals, I think there’s a good likelihood that OpenTF could outpace Terraform in capability. Terraform, IMO, has benefitted significantly from having some very smart people at the helm. Most recently I’ve been impressed with the declarative mapping of imperative actions including import, state moves, and more. These things required very carefully coordination, especially in large active configurations, and are now quite simple and safe.
What is the reasoning behind calling the class a tensor? Is there some way to think of the represented expression or its derivative as a tensor? Or just because scalars are tensors and this could be extended to support other tensor types?

I built such a well...
The concrete rings will just sloooowly slide down once there is room under them. If you dig evenly, they will just go down straight. Only a few centimeters at a time. This part does not feel dangerous. As a bonus,you can buy concrete rings with steps included, so you don't need to buy a 5m long ladder.

In historic well digging the walls needed to be secured with wooden planks or bricks and such after digging straight down. Huge risk of the walls falling in. This was a problem just generations ago... And all of the family had stories of grandfather's digging wells that collapsed and that the historic approach was dangerous.

With concrete rings, there is no danger of collapsing. And certainly, when placing a ring, noone should be standing inside!

But yes...

Prisons are a poor substitute for actually engaging with criminals -- and even more importantly, with the social conditions that cause criminal behavior.

Corporal punishment is not the answer to that, but prisons should be used as a last option, not a first one.
Is Hashicorp were to change Terraform protocols without extremely good justification, the project would be dead immediately. The existence of Terraform in its current state is bringing billions in revenue to vendors like AWS and GCP. There's a lot of money at play. Hashicorp wouldn't risk that.
The author recommends TOFU as an alternative. TOFU is great until it isn't. Web servers do get hacked all the time (mostly thanks to Wordpress), and when they do, rotating any and all private keys is high on your action list (preferably through nuking the machine from the orbit).

The short expiration date on the certificate is specifically meant to address this problem. CRLs don't work, not even by principle - how often are you meant to refresh them? Who's volunteering to handle the load?

Which circles us back to the underpinning of the fundamental problem: DNS is insecure. If DNSSEC was to be the answer, where is it, 20 years in? Can we pretty please adopt DNSCurve instead already?
One of the major arguments in favor of legalization is in direct opposition to the black market. Many people think that a well regulated supply and marketplace is strictly preferable to criminal enterprise and everything that goes along with that. It's perfectly consistent to be anti-black-market and pro-legalization.

Succinctly, it's okay to want to change the law, and also favor rule of law.

> 4. The Big Insight: before you bid, stop to think about whether you're about to bid higher than you value what you're bidding on.

How do you define value? How does it consider fungible factors?

----

My wife and I "overbid" on our house. We have absolutely no idea how much we "overpaid". Could be 0%, could be 10%, could be -10%.

If we did it again, we'd take the exact same approach. Winning that bid had little to do with the actual value of that house, other than knowing where to put a value on the bid. It solved a major problem for us - we need to move to a new city where housing in in extremely short supply. Putting that bid in and winning meant saving weeks/months of effort looking, touring, driving out of state, putting bids in, holding our breath, etc, etc.

In an auction, the winner will always give an unnecessary concession (whether that's excess cash or some other contractual term). That's simply the nature of competition; especially with asymmetrical knowledge.
OC's point is that the chain rule for partial derivatives shouldn't be assumed because the ordinary chain rule holds, there's more depth to it than that, and the proof is harder than you might instinctively expect based on the ordinary chain rule.

It's epistemically acceptable to understand these both as "the chain rule" once we're satisfied they've both been proved, and apply liberal amounts of synecdoche from there (and I don't think OC disagrees with you on that).

You honestly could have fooled me. The amount of preaching, unfalsifiable theories and casuistry that goes on in the ADHD space is beyond the pale.

Executive function theory, delayed rewards theory, everywhere you go, when the axioms of the presenter changes, so does the "root cause" of ADHD change.

Granted it's common for these problems to pop up every where in online media the past five years or so...

... but when Law and Order SVU episodes from the 90s have more empirical cause-and-effect rigor to their detective stories than half the opinions-masquerading-as-theories in the ADHD space, then I find his skepticism understandable and I empathize with it.

I wish it were not true. I deeply, deeply crave a scientist in a lab coat to point to a chain of chemicals that describe the problem in concrete unarguable terms. The smoking gun, if you will. Something Feynman and Einstein (so to speak) could analyze, criticize and come up sucessfully defeated in attempting to prove the theory wrong, admitting the shown evidence and resulting theory is true.

We see instead research universities pouring money and big minds into Diffusion Tensor Imaging, doing hundreds/thousands of high resolution scans on kids' brains who obviously have ADHD and not only being unable to find the root cause of the problem, but they cannot even show a difference in the data that relates to ADHD at all.

Wtf is going on...
