Some human vulnerabilities are surprisingly common. A lot of scammers follow scripts and formula. Of course, to coax arson would be difficult. But life-devastating incidents like emptying out the entire bank account, leaking secrets, causing self-harm, etc. are not unheard of.
I think its the same as it has always been.

They went from being bad compared to everything else to now feeling good compared to everything else.

Basically they stayed static and the rest of the internet worsened around them and our perspectives are now skewed.

What used to feel like a spammy content farm is actually not that bad now that we have seen real spammy content farms, like the SO clones that just take SO posts, rip out important css elements so it is harder to read, and slap as many ads as the ad networks allow them around it and then throw up exit intent banners and crypto-mining javascript.

Now just a normal content farm feels like a breath of fresh air when we deal with those garbage sites as alternatives.
While this is true for some categories of software, most code is completely disposable and likely doesn't see the light of day. CISA is solving different problems than most require.

Yes, seriously.

I don't get it. (What am I already convinced of?) You said this wasn't hard. So why does it seem that way?
IQ is only useful for scores well below average to indicate the subject of the test has a serious issue. Any score approaching average or any amount above is not at all useful to indicate anything beyond the subjects' skills at taking IQ tests. It translates to and indicates nothing compared to another mostly average or above score. Psychologists (mostly) want to scream abuse at you about pointing this out. Then have steam shooting out of the ears when you bet them your IQ is higher than theirs and that also, in itself means nothing. There's no magic formula or spell that let's you understand a human faster, better or more accurately than spending the time talking, reading and listening to what they've done and what they think. There is no way to make it objective.

IQ is so much bullshit. Probably why it turns up so often in racist screed masquerading as science. Burn it all down.
I’d pay to make sure others can’t in my name.
It’s a frequent refrain on here, whenever some post talks about doing any server rendering in a JS context, that it was done before… even well before. It’s so frequent as to be cliche, and usually rather dismissive of any actual substance to the context of whatever’s in the post.

As I read it, OP is just anticipating that reaction, acknowledging it upfront with a bit of levity.

This was a month ago. Appears it was v0.13.0.

Just for fun, since I still had it installed and haven't gotten around to cleaning up the remote data, I updated to latest (v0.14.1) and tried the restore tasks again.

Both the single file restore and the folder restore worked, though the single file restore still didn't have any progress indicator I could see.

Looking through the changelog, nothing really stood out to me as something which would have fixed this. Not really sure what went wrong the first time around, perhaps it was network issues with Hetzner?
> I don't think globals are so awful for certain things. I prefer a more functional approach where you have simple composable standalone functions instead of classes. Obviously classes have a role, but I find they sometimes overly complicate things and make the logic harder to follow and debug.

But "globals" and "composable standalone functions" are contradictory, if you're mutating global state your function is neither composable nor standalone.

What you've got is a poor mans class instance using global instead of self.
I don't know all the tax loopholes billionaires use, I'm not an accountant. He's probably not giving $500M in cash or all cash, it could be old equipment valued higher, buildings, etc. If I donated an old beat up Chevy pickup, I could say it was worth $10,000 when it was really worth $200 in scrap, maybe. Do that with a fleet of 100 trucks and that's a million right there. You just pay an expert to value it higher if you need to, but you probably don't even need to do that. The IRS isn't in the business of valuing things, and it's hard to prove what the value of something is at any given time. He could be donating it to another company he owns, who knows. If there's one thing I know, billionaires don't pay much tax. You know how the art trick works for deductions?
Well below average IQ scores usually indicate serious and profound cognitive impairment (but for an individual you still have to check).

All other IQ scores indicate nothing at all.

There was a closely related movement at the time that called for that languages should have minimal "bloat", combined that with importing only what you need down to single functions, it was viewed as the future of programming.

I was sympathetic to that idea then, it sounded good in theory, however in practice it was horrible.

Today I enjoy coding in "bloated" languages with only a few external dependencies.
The SafetyNet Fix module. I believe kdrag0n is the original author, but there's a popular fork on GitHub with some fixes - if you Google it you should be able to find it.

It tricks apps into thinking your phone doesn't support hardware key attestation, forcing it to fall back to basic software attestation which can easily be spoofed.

Been using it on my OnePlus 7 Pro and aside from when I had to switch to the fork, I haven't had any times where SafetyNet has stopped passing.

> the constant stress of being in an unfamiliar place

Is this a thing for most people?

Being in an unfamiliar place is one of my greatest joys. I am never more relaxed than my first day in a new city where I know absolutely nothing, and turning each new corner is a revelation.
The situation is more nuanced than that. For example, I have some security cameras installed around my home where the app has updated itself and now requires continuous precise location tracking. That was not the case when I purchased them and set them up, or I would have returned them and left a bad review. I guess you could say I deserve it for not using hardware based on open standards, but now my only options are to generate masses of ewaste and spend hundreds of dollars more, or just bend over and take it. My OS could work harder to protect me here.
The result on Google is indeed correct, but I was posting a trivial example that was supposed to show the variety of answers/sources not the accuracy of the top one. For that, they're fairly similar, although Kagi seems to prefer the higher signal-to-crap ratio.
Everybody use WhatsApp here (east of the Atlantic Ocean,) even on iPhones, because you never know which kind of phone all your friends are using. Apple and Android could stop developing their messaging apps and nobody would notice. SMSes are only for banks and spam.
People see the edge of the road just fine, we even make a point of adding reflective paint to important bits of it. It’s the occasional black voids in the center which everyone just ignores as irrelevant.

Headlights being mounted so low results in long shadows from minor imperfections in the road surface which could hide huge holes. I can only assume you’ve become so used to this it doesn’t even occur to you that it’s an actual risk, thus proving my point.

PS: Hood geometry also plays a role here. There’s no point in casting light down at an angle that the driver would be unable to see it but that’s getting into the weeds.
Airlines are just a terrible business. Massive fixed costs, massive variable costs, tons of regulation, tons of competition, constant bankruptcies, and the outlook for the industry only gets more grim. COVID is just a 1 in a hundred year event, terrorist attacks happened before and after 9/11.

It’s a miracle that airlines are as functional as they are. People REALLY like flying.

I think it depends on the site. I remember early 00s where many download sites would have ads with a download button, or pop-ups that blasted sound like YOU JUST WON. Now I think that sorta thing has been normalized to even non shady sites. My primary use of ad blocker is so that I don't get random autoplaying videos.
As a govvie sitting on vast data resources, I would love to figure out how to liberate them for the people of my country. But 1) how do I ensure that it helps my countrymen first? 2) How do I allow them to use the data and have high confidence they don't have a copy?

How about the fact that DEF freezes at 12 degrees Fahrenheit, so in order to maintain it in liquid form it has to have an always on tank heater in winter. And if your battery happens to die for an unrelated reason in winter it can cause a thousand dollars in damage to the emissions system.

Or how about the fact that the regulations enforcing use of def cause you to be unable to use your vehicle after 500 miles of it detecting any kind of system fault. So imagine you are 10 minutes into a multi-hundred mile drive and an emissions fault pops up. By the time you get home you have about 120 miles of driving before you will not be able to start your vehicle. Now, you call the 2 dealers within 100 miles and due to a thing called the pandemic the soonest you can get a service appointment is over a month out.

AdBlue is enough of a pain in the ass that it is the reason I had to buy a second car. How's that for saving the environment.
AFAIK with the Nokia N900 this was possible in 2009 using gstreamer. I never actually used it to create a video device but I assume that the v4l2sink was already a thing back then. I did use it quite a few times for streaming to remote windows and OpenCV.

Only good phone I ever had. I wish things were as easy on Android devices, but somehow they almost never are.

Yeah no. You often need to install extensions to get icons on the desktop etc., which break when you upgrade Gnome. Talk about user-hostile design.

We have started our platform before React, but ran into similar issues. Luckily they are surmountable. Many of them can be solved by inlining the CSS and basic JS into the page when the session cookie is missing. Then install a service worker to cache each inlined file and show them next time they are requested.

There are nuances like rewriting URLs in the CSS to be relative to the page, and then replacing them back in the service worker before caching the result.

https://community.qbix.com/t/qbix-websites-loading-quickly/2...

But you don’t need static sites. You can use CDNs to cache your pages and make them effectively static. Use AJAX or ESI / SSI to include stuff that depends on the session cookie.
I'm certainly not a Splunk expert and I'm CERTAINLY have no insight into the nature of our financial arrangement with them, but yeah it's expensive.

I think there's not much of a useful "flat rate" tier; you pay based on usage. People can accidentally spin up a ton of EC2 instances and get a huge surprise AWS bill, too. And yeah our logging needs are high and monotonically increasing but they're also relatively predictable at our scale.

It ALSO turns out though that Splunk is really really good at their job and matching their expertise would require tons of engineering effort and it's not like the disk space alone is THAT cheap if you want it to be searchable.

Even if the accusations are true, India will not respond. To protect the lives of Indian nationals in Canada , and to protect the Indian high commission and ensure staff safety is paramount for them. Because, if I was an Indian who had the opposite opinion ( to these Khalistan people) - I’d be fearing for my safety- that’s a reflection of how much ‘rule of law’ these people will apply.Months ago these Khalistan activists vandalized the Indian consulate. The so-called Canadian rule of law seems pretty selective.

This activist who was killed was an illegal immigrant and criminal fugitive, and Canada PM wants to protect his interests. It’s clearly political pressure and the rule of law might be an excuse .

I’m pretty sure there’s other nations that have carried hit jobs in Canada - China , Saudi Arabia etc and we never hear about those. The leader of NDP is a Sikh and is kingmaker in Canada politics- I have a feeling Trudeau is just trying to cling to his job

Prepared to be surprised, for large numbers of people all with different languages [1] these are very different relationships - the people your sister might marry are potentially an entirely different skin group to the brothers of whomever you might marry [2].

( This was once way more complicated in stricter days as both Matrilineal and Patrilineal moieties were intertwined across adjacent territorries - leading to a complex system of exogamous out rotation .. the wikipedia pages fail to fully capture a complete picture with all local variations [3] )

You're correct that most people in Western society see those relationships as similar - I have no idea if that remains true once you start including Indian, south east asian, and other people across the globe.
I can’t find any screenshots, am I missing something?
In Apple Contacts, you can add a relationship to contact. There is a drop down for label with "mother", "son", etc. Then there is "All Labels" which has a ton of relationships.

In US, separating out "younger sister" is weird, they probably should collapse the list. But in others like Chinese, some of the collapsed relationships have different words.
My biggest issue with i3 (which I generally love and have used for 5+ years) is that if I switch to a workspace, launch an application with dmenu, and switch to a different workspace before the application loads, the application will load on the current workspace instead of the workspace I originally launched the application from. Anyone have a solution?

Why is that?
Slightly OT: this is an interesting site, but I almost closed it because when I opened it on my phone I saw a nearly-fullscreen modal with a large "404." I've been conditioned to interpret that as a 404 error page, not the name of the site. If anyone who works on the site is reading this comment, I'd recommend reducing the size of the "404" logo in that modal (or removing the modal altogether, because modals on page load suck anyway).
Had a friend from Texas move near me in Australia and they have just been exhausted trying to keep up because they aren't used to walking. Walking here is the fastest and most convenient way to get around. By the time you get your car out and find parking, you could have already been there on foot.

You'll observe that the rate of obesity is extremely low in the walkable areas which I really think is heavily because the people there live more active lifestyles just getting around day to day.

Definitely worth their much cheaper price to me.

As a commercial user for most of the year now, it mostly just comes down to convenience and quality. Right now the closed AI models offer me both at a low price. I really don’t care about other factors, even though I am ideologically aligned with open tech.

> Soon, however, teachers and government officials sought ways to evaluate rapidly increasing numbers of students. In 1900, roughly 10 percent of teens attended high school; by 1940, some 70 percent did.

It reminds me of looking at a 1930s census, not long ago, while compiling a family history. Some of the adults on a rural farm were listed as having completed "4th grade". It's rather difficult to imagine a world where that was the norm and to compare how different our world now must be, when nearly everyone has completed high school.
