I understand this point of view and I used to share it, but I see it from the other side now:

I used alcohol to cope with stress at work/life and when I stopped, the switch flipped and I saw how much I numbed myself to the pain that was necessary to change any of it.
I basically grew a pair over 90 days. Now, none of people's manipulation or crocodile tears affect me.

If you are stress- and anxiety-free, you don't have this problem and can afford it, but I highly recommend to people to quit drinking and doing drugs who recognize themselves in what I described.
Yeah, those things had 9 levels of contrast. With a fresh set of batteries the display would be crisp and contrasty at “3” or something. Then slowly you needed more and more levels to feel normal. Before you know it you’re running at contrast “9” and contemplating your next score. Then you realize, “oh yeah, batteries are on their way out.”

As you snap the final AA place, you sign contentedly as you dial it back down to “3”.
General wisdom is:

error < bug < vuln < poc < wild exploit

Yet a narrow security view cantered around single faults within
single programs misses a lot.

Take backdoors, which are neither errors nor bugs, nor may be seen in
the wild, but are simply vulnerabilities in waiting, working as
expected by design.

Or a set of mere errors may, in concert, lead to a systemic and
commonly exploited vulnerability.

Giving an identifier to a reproducible observation, in some context
and time, is a good start. But to be useful it needs to be part of a
wider, joined-up taxonomy that helps us understand risk better.
Ever since alcohol free beer has exploded in popularity and several of the alcohol-free versions of the normal beers have gotten to the point where the taste is more or less similar, I can absolutely do without.
> And yeah, the iPhone has more security updates, but that doesn't really matter to me. I only install reputable, and mostly open source, apps on my phone so I'm not really concerned about security.

As much as I’d love this to be a valid stance if you use the internet then you need to be keeping up with security updates. Recently there was a bug in the open source decoder for webp images, it impacted basically every device, and was being exploited in the wild via nothing but displaying an image.
My experience is that non-drinkers are incredibly boring people.
Android didn't win, they just prevented Apple to have a 100% monopoly on smartphones.

Edit: Apple is certainly taking the lion's share of profits in the phone space. Since Google isn't investing as heavily anymore in Android, the development has slowed considerably.
That reminds me of bogus `npm` results. You use a regex at build time? Oh, apparently you are exposed to a ReDoS attack even though that regex isn’t available at runtime.

Or that time when Python disallowed string to int conversion of long strings because it is a DoS vulnerability. The lack of sanitisation led to DoS vulnerabilities in applications, but the conversion is obviously not a vulnerability in itself. Oh, and now those apps have DoS attack that just halts the application because the conversion throws ValueError.

It’s hard to say what the solution to that problem is. Oftentimes security vulnerabilities indeed don’t cause any problems alone and require a chain of other exploits to actually cause trouble. At the same time you don’t want to treat every function that runs in O(n^2) on input as a potential DoS attack. Distinguishing between a simple bug and a vulnerability requires contextual knowledge and expert judgement that simply cannot be built into bureaucratic organisations like MITRE.
Real estate has ballooned everywhere and I wonder what the real GDP growth is without it, since it should be a basic service everyone gets and the real value offered in many cases doesn't contribute anything to actual progress.
Funny and there I thought the alcohol industry is a multi-billion dollar business creating lots of value for their shareholders (arguably externalizing the cost for general society).

It's also quite telling that you consider not drinking a boring life, in my experience (obviously this is anecdotal) people who are not drinking are more active and are typically more open to try new things.
Second problem: sandbox aren't perfect either. It's indeed useful, as part of a defense-in-depth approach, but it's far from sufficient.

Memory safety could solve the problem altogether, but then again no program is 100% memory safe, there's always some kind of primitive that uses memory-unsafe code under the hood, so it's not perfect either.

The “perfect” solution would probably be:

- use memory safe languages

- all primitives using memory unsafe stuff should get formally verified

Rust is kind of aiming at this (with things like [1] and [2]), but it's not there yet.

For your consideration: Probably a billion people live perfectly happy lives without alcohol. Maybe it's not actually necessary after all, maybe that's not a boring life, or will cause your mental health to suffer?
As a casual drinker, it's bizarre that there is this rather prominent belief from others that you cannot enjoy your life more if you drink from time to time
Health professionals seem to be failing drastically at public communication when it comes to alcohol.
I think drinking once in a while actually helps your organism flush out things that are alcohol soluble, and maybe that's why you have symptoms? It enters your bloodstream?
Same here. I knew my workouts were harder if I had a couple of beers the previous evening, or a big session a couple days prior, but having the data to say "your heart rate is bouncing around like a moth near a lightbulb" makes ignoring it much harder. My midweek drinking has diminished to nothing now, because I like feeling well rested all day more than I appreciate a glass of wine after work.
Taking moderate to mean "somewhere in the middle of 2 extremes": 3 drinks per event, one or two events per week (disclaimer: am a college student)

Trouble is, alcohol goes really well with a lot of those things.
Alcohol is a very important part of many European countries cultures
I hear you, but you have direct evidence that booze is stressing out your system.

Have you considered that cutting it out entirely would also be good for your mental health?
Yup. I think it's because Elixir has powerful LISP-like meta-programming facilities that it allows the seamless communication Rustler and Zigler provide. I haven't seen anything as good as Rustler for Python despite its popularity.
I've all but stopped drinking alcohol ever since I watched an Andrew Huberman video on the same subject. I was mostly drinking beer and nowadays thankfully they are making great alcohol-free versions. Visited Germany this summer and was surprised to see that almost half of the beers in stores were without alcohol. I highly recommend them.
Half the reason AWS has leading IPv6 support in the first place is due to mandates from the US government to start migrating. Author is correct that, from a cost perspective, the new costs are immaterial to large customers, but I wouldn't discount the power of policy mandates from the largest customers, where the threat of building an in-house alternative to comply with policy might be sufficient to force AWS to finally prioritize support.
Alcohol culture is interesting, it seems to have a specially carved-out cultural niche which isn't enjoyed by nearly any other drug. The only other drug that comes close is probably coffee.

This alcohol culture has resulted in a lot of political pressure to undersell the negative health effects of drinking. I think it's fine if people are drinking as long as they're aware of the consequence. Although alcohol advertising in general still makes me a bit uneasy, I don't think any other substance could get away with the same kind of ads as alcohol manufacturers.

For most, it's probably better to live a shorter and more fulfilling life than that of a monk which abstains from all pleasures. But if we're going to drink, it's better to be honest about the impact we're expecting.

Secession in the western world simply cannot be compared. Historically western countries (not all obviously) have been imperial powers and so when imperialism collapsed after WW2, secession and referendum have been the way to go for people seeking self determination where they feel they are not getting the deserved representation.

Jatt Sikh separatism was extremely violent and was engineered by the cynicism and short sightedness of the people running India at the time and the opportunism of Pakistan which wanted to "get" India after their own country was bifurcated in the 1971 war. And you might think this civil war was fought between Hindus and Sikhs. But you would be clueless. Both the parties were Sikh ie the Government forces in Punjab were overwhelmingly Sikh and they recognised the movement as a cover for organised crime and fought and defeated it.

A lot of people (1000s) ended up dead. This question was not settled over some maple syrup and a friendly, fair referendum. So now when the population has moved past this demand, re-raising the issue will not be taken kindly.
Right, cause customers are too stupid to manage their own IPv6 firewalls, it's for their own good! /s
The same could be said about clueless programming in general. Tbh I didn’t immediately catch what that query does, because it’s non-regular(?) looking so there’s no quick pattern for it, but it still makes you think what it does actually. And no, there’s no way I could think of putting a filter into right join. It’s a join. It’s like… idk. Being clueless.

> This has happened zero times so far, to me.

This has happened more than zero times to me.

> You can use qsa all the time if you want a consistent interface.

Indeed. And qsa is so much more verbose.

Note how this whole discussion started with:

- [jQuery] a collection of largely unnecessary (in modern times) utility functions for imperative DOM manipulation

- It's still much easier to manipulate DOM with jQuery than with any of the "modern times" APIs

My last statement is still a fact. "Modern" DOM APIs are anything but. They are the same 90s era OOP that is extremely verbose, cannot be composed in any meaningful way, and provides just a handful of somewhat useful utility functions that don't mean much in a grand scheme of things.

There's a reason that even the most staunch of anti-framework people (like most of the web component crowd) immediately fall back do just dumping strings into DOM via .innerHtml
For day-to-day familiar conversation we generally use nicknames for grandparents in the US and that's what is in our contact list.

There are probably hundreds or thousands of nickname words for grandma based on a variety of cultural backgrounds, family tradition, and mispronunciations by grandchildren.

The language we use really depends on setting. In a more formal setting we might say paternal grandmother/grandparent.
Speaking to a friend we might use the nickname, or we might say the ambiguous 'grandma' or we might say 'grandmother on my dad's side' or 'dad's mom'.

It really depends on the situation and familiarity and formality.
The whole thing is bizzare. Brand, a high list celeb back in those days slept around with hundreds of women.

Not only that he was a drug addict for many years who did rehab. I doubt someone like him has a squeeky clean record but given the combination of things why is anyone surprised?

His allegations don't seem off with his personality and status take into context, he has said all of his interactions were concensual and the accuser says this too.
jq i find unintuitive. I prefer to use node repl to so this kind of stuff.

To be fair most people can't visit countless cities weekly, can't visit or don't care for the nature you like, and the increased injury risk of many sports (compared to just cycling for cardio and doing resistance training) is probably as bad as the risks from moderate drinking.
Hard to establish cause and effect here.
I've heard Italian described as "drunk Catalan" and, being a speaker of Catalan and having had some exposure to Italian, I'm not sure I can entirely disagree.
It’s real interesting how preoccupied the author is with their whole “feelings correspond to specific body regions” thing - they start out saying that somehow their anxiety translated to bodily sensations, such that after treatment they could feel the difference in particular limbs -

And that doesn’t ring true to me, I’ve never experienced anything like that, but I’m willing to listen -

And then they have this big heat map of the human body that charts out how people surveyed describe the physical location of feelings, and okay, they’re back to this idea again.

Some of this seems so obvious and practical, and some of it just seems really really out there.

I mean - okay this is really not for me, this is way too specific to what the author is into to be of much interest to me. It’s cool that this method works for them, but spinning it out into a whole initialized methodology just feels… I dunno, pretentious? Is that unfair of me?
So if the feds stop by you have nothing to hand over. That sounds great, but legally dubious. Aren't you required to keep a log?

Thanks for the info nonetheless. I think I'll give it a shot and maybe don't look up how to get rid of bodies - for a friend. Oh, damn, did it again.

How much did you drink? I went from 2/day during my phd - clearly to cope with the stress - to 1/day to 3/week...

I however really love the taste of good specialty beers and the meme of drinking a beer while cooking&eating food. Not sure if I want to cut down any further, I enjoy drinking too much. But investing any technique to increase anxiety resistance sounds worthwhile to me, otoh...
All bodies are different: some people react well to a vegan diet, others get so broken by the FODMAPs in plant-based proteins that they can only eat meat and greens. When you interpret dietary advice not as "this is what you should eat and drink" but instead as "this worked for me; it might work for you too" it brings a whole lot more inner peace. The basic tried-and-tested ground rules are pretty simple: cover your nutritional needs, enjoy vices sparingly. How that looks specifically is entirely dependent on your own body and mind. Maybe the minor physical-health hit from social alcohol consumption is offset by the mental-health gains from socialising with friends.
There needs to be a body of law relating to technical matters like this (and interoperability etc) that is adjacent to competition law. Some things we just need everyone to be on the same page about. It is manifestly the case that ipv6 is never going to be that, because the incentives to invest simply don't exist for companies like AWS.

This distorts the market in eyeball networks and hosting - the former are under little pressure to offer v6, and new entrants to the latter can only offer v6. Competition law in the EU works (I think?) on the principles of consumer benefit and market fairness. On that basis, I'm left wondering why this has never been pursued by the EU's competition authorities.
Having spoken to people who are monks, I usually come away with the impression that their lives are a lot more fulfilling than mine...
I would say here in Germany moderate drinking is 4 beers twice a week or so, or maybe a beer a day every day
> Everything is far more QA'd (and designed to be QA-able) and at least tries to minimise user frustration. There are exceptions to this, like "suggestions" in the Start menu, but outside of this it's designed in a user-first way.

I feel like windows is deliberate about being user hostile. Just because they're very slick about being user hostile doesn't make it any different.

Linux feels like someone with my best interests at heart made a good attempt and half succeeded.
The only alcohol-free beer I've found in the UK that tastes very similar is Adnams Ghost Ship. Others I've tried have tasted too malty or with an entire missing section in the flavour profile.

Yes, but you can do so as a regular user in some cases.

Security is an onion.
To put the percentages from the article in context, a teetotaller between 55 and 59 has a 5.9% chance of developing a stroke while a moderate drinker in the same age group has a 6.7% probability of suffering from a stroke. Which is still bad but not nearly as dramatic as the initial percentages make it sound.

I've noticed there is this weird neo-puritanical movement getting in vogue as of late, but I don't really understand why. Especially in educated groups it should come as absolutely no surprise that drinking is bad for your health and I don't know a single person who drinks because it's "healthy". We drink (in moderation) because it's makes for a good time and the negative externalities are understood and considered a worthwhile trade-off. For some people this trade-off is not acceptable which is totally fine too.

If you're serious about getting healthier I reckon that for a lot of people there is a lot more impactful changes to make than to stop drinking. E.g. no more processed foods, losing weight, exercising regularly, fixing indoor air quality and maybe less/no drinking if it's actually a significantly affecting health.
After a bit of searching, I think this might be a "commonly repeated but not actually true". A few people saying no, most weapons go 2d when you aim throughout the game, and a couple stay 3d throughout.
I don't think anyone said it was necessary, especially in modern times. But back in the day, it could contribute to reducing the multiplicity of infection of microbes in drinks. Thus, it was clearly worthwhile enough that some populations evolved the ability to metabolize it more efficiently. The other group probably evolved a better immune system instead, or alternative ways of cleaning their food and drink (e.g. the chinese drink a lot more hot water than cold, but that comes with its own costs/tradeoffs).
I remember I was eating very healthfully for a while and then when heading to my job I absolutely needed food quickly and went to McDonalds. I felt pretty crappy a few hours later. The lesson ironically was that I should be eating more mcdonalds because that's the environment I live in and I should be better acclimatized :-)
That's a straw man though. Nobody said that you can't enjoy life when you drink from time to time. The thread is a response to someone saying that a life without alcohol would be a boring life (and a life focused on consumption, which is an even weirder argument).
It is interesting to observe how people react as if directly attacked when confronted with this study, the original publication is much more targeted towards policy makers.

Just because you don't find your life enhanced by something doesn't mean that something is useless... And of course we can live without it. I posit we can live quite a fulfilling life as a hunter gatherer in the kalahari.

Anyway, you can be quite a successful billionaire and have no one likes you. Being right and rigid is boring, sometimes being unhinged is interesting.
If you're relying on drinking to live a fulfilling life something is very, very wrong. Your life shouldn't be dictated by drinking or not drinking.

For example, Apple's human interface guidelines mandated that you have to give the user instant feedback (I think they even talked about how many milliseconds of delay are tolerable). A correctly programmed application in OS 9 would give instant feedback on each menu item selected, button pressed, and so on.

They later gave this up and almost everything else in their very reasonable guidelines based on actual research when they switched to OS X in a hurry and multithreaded everything. The early Mail application was a disaster, for example. Generally, people started complaining a lot about the spinning beach ball of death.

In contrast, modern UX guidelines are mostly about web design, how to make web pages look fancy. They also recommend instant feedback, but many libraries and application designs don't really support it.

Comcast at some point stopped letting you administrate your own router. You can log in to it, but port forwarding is no longer available through the administration interface.

If you want port forwarding, they recommend that you do... something. It's not clear what; what you can find on the internet is mostly just people complaining that they insisted to customer support that they needed port forwarding, customer support said they'd do that, and port forwarding still doesn't work.

But, intriguingly, it turns out that a Comcast router will also assign every device on your network at least one public ipv6 address. They also firewall all incoming ipv6 traffic, but unlike the situation with port forwarding, you can disable that firewall on the router admin page. (You can't put up your own firewall.)
If the users have a way to verify they are in the center of a marker (visual cues?) you might be able to use dead reckoning by utilizing other sensors in the phone: compass, pedometer (step count lib), accelerometer...

"...as a fledging science consciousness research should worry about hanging out too much dirty laundry. If too much is hung out, then petty infighting can destroy an already fragile field. My greatest fear is that we get another “consciousness winter” wherein just talking about consciousness is considered pseudoscientific bunk. This was the state of affairs throughout most of the 20th century, and it set neuroscience back decades."

Eventually someone was going to create an easy to list/share/subscribe list that individuals could easily add to their personal Google domain block list. Think EasyList.

At that point they would be bleeding ad revenue as all the nasty, fake, abusive, spammy websites would be insta blocked.

Imagine being able to add a list and all of a sudden half the SEO blogs are excluded from results. Assuming Google even allows it, they would then have to work even harder to find relevant content to your search query. They can't rely on throwing a huge wall of semi-relevant results that you have to wade through, generating ad impressions as you go along.
