This only works because browser vendors have taken the totally bullshit approach of "you're only allowed to use ECH if you have DoH enabled", even though they're really unrelated technologies. Related Mozilla bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1500289

Of course this kind of filtering is useless to stop a determined user (in a bring-your-own-device environment) because they can trivially just run their own DoH endpoint.
One extra detail, something I've learned from 20 years of working on dragging all kinds of objects around the GUI of Ardour [0]: handle ALL button press and release events as drag events where there is no movement. That is: press ALWAYS starts a drag that is finished by the release, and the code that handles release "special cases" the no-movement condition.

LOL. Just to add on to the comment, it doesn't even have to be 3g/4g. If you're doing Wifi on an ESP8266, you're probably also using AT commands as well. Although it's really nothing like the Hayes command set.

In any case, it fills me with equal parts nostalgia, awe, and fear. :)

Yeah. The creepy is back. When Google released its glasses, people jumped on it right away always gave me weird vibes. Why would someone want to do it? What is an everyday function that would be greatly improved by this, aside from some professional application?
> life is hard. You have to go to work to make money

That's certainly one approach towards living life.

Another might be:

Don't accept it when your employer decides to start tracking your every move and work for a company that values outcomes more than they do asses-in-chairs. When the eventual recession comes, the odds that it'll disrupt you in any significant way will be greatly reduced because you haven't spent the last three years worried about how to present yourself as "productive", and instead have been focused on actually getting things done.
Not sure if it was edited, but TFA states near the top now:

> This means that whenever a user visits a website on Cloudflare that has ECH enabled, no one except for the user, Cloudflare, and the website owner will be able to determine which website was visited.

Which sounds more precise and correct. I very much agree that these details matter.
Just for the record using Cloudflare Tunnel doesn't mean you are using their WAF products (blocking) AFAIK
it being the connection contents rather than the name, since Cloudflare actually needs the name to route the connection

It is insane because you are willfully accepting an environment where a company forbids competition against itself using its market position in a different market (hardware).

I have been really digging Cloudflare tunnel. For my self hosted apps, I used to expose everything through a reverse nginx proxy listening on 80 and 443, but this is much more convenient. Their Zero Trust stuff is cool too, although not something I'm looking to pay for.
No law can do that; the Constitution specifies eligibility for representatives, senators, and presidents. Courts take that literally. In 2019, California did pass a law requiring presidential candidates to disclose 5 years of tax returns. That was more or less immediately and unanimously invalidated by the California state supreme court.
He might have had a different experience than you. I too served in uniform, often working (and earning) for more than 40 hours a week. Later, when I managed a team in a different country, the cultural norm there was to work longer hours as well. It's worth noting that while a 40-hour workweek might be standard in some places, others might see norms of 44, 50 hours, or even more. Even in Europe, roles like production management or working in a SOC often entail more than 40 hours a week.

> For any "real" language it's probably impossible to have a 1-1 mapping in both directions.

As far as I know, Finnish is very very close to 100% phonetic: one letter, one phoneme, with some slight exceptions and some wiggle room when it comes to dialectical variation and loanwords, especially those with nonnative phonemes like /b/ or /g/. The velar nasal ŋ is the biggest exception, featuring in "nk" and "ng" (like in many other languages) and the rules aren't entirely straightforward. Another exception is that in spoken language a glottal stop or gemination can appear at some morpheme boundaries but isn't reflected in written text.

One thing that's really nice about silent movies/tv is that it's truely language agnostic. You'd be surprised just how much of the world knows "Mr Bean" for example. It's syndicated just about everywhere in the world and crosses language and culture barriers.

I'm really surprised silent movies/tv isn't more common. Many diverse nations have a need for language agnostic entertainment and it's trivial to syndicate such media throughout the world. Papua New Guinea for example struggles to accomodate all of it's languages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Papua_New_Guinea . Silent media is helpful there to provide a common point of connection across the nation (they used Mr Bean as a mascott for awareness during covid).

This requires other pictures of the environment to use to infer what should fill in the gaps, which will not exist for every shot in those series. (TOS and TNG were already rereleased in 1080p, though.) I suppose you could use outpainting to construct the rest of the scene in one frame, and use that as the reference for other frames in the same shot.
It’s actually not and is one of those Java isms that have made its way into generalized software engineering.

If I write a function that takes Foo as an argument. I have a Foo implementation exposed elsewhere in my program. It is absolutely expected that I mean MY Foo, not your Foo. If you pass me your Foo, you will get unexpected results that are not a bug, not a side effect, not my responsibility. It’s yours, the caller, to adhere to the contract.

There are valid reasons to not adhere. To pass your own implementation. At that point, you are responsible for its use. Not me. If it adheres to MY Foo’s interface, you might get by, but it’s is not my responsibility to validate all permutations of unknown types to ensure you’re passing me mine. In go, it’s perfectly valid to return structs but accept interfaces as arguments so that you, the program author calling my api, can craft the correct program flow.

So please, leave that runtime type check reflection for Java and C# and the land of JS. We have no need for it here in machine code land.
I don't know about NYC but in general a sea wall could hold back a high tide. A lot of coastal cities flood when there is high rainfall coinciding with a high tide. When the tide is low the rain just drains into the river and out to sea.
I just biked from midtown Manhattan to Prospect park since I couldn’t commute by train.

It’s fine. More puddles, more street closures, more aggressive drivers. Just NYC on a sugar rush.
> This is an arbitrary moral line, and if you that's the one you want to draw for your own life, then fine.

The moral line is that you do not spy on people in order to "improve" their "ad experience". Geography is one way to do it that's then acceptable.

> Why should men see ads for tampons? Why should women see a message telling them to get a prostate cancer checkup?

If a man enters a lingerie shop, he will expect to see ads for tampons. If a woman enters a man's cigar club (or whatever), she will expect to see ads for a prostate cancer checkup.

"Why" is because the only possible way to do otherwise is by spying on them. Anything that requires customizing ads per person inherently requires the spying.

> There's all sorts of value and productivity that can be gained from targeting ads.

And there it is. You see it as an optimization problem of "value and productivity", and there is no place for privacy in that equation.

Much like a factory dumping its chemical waste in the town's river. A lot of "value" is created during the process.
No thank you! If you're ever near the NC side of the US let me know, I'll gladly buy you lunch for all the help you've given me.
Deployability is what matters. DoH had great deployability because everybody speaks HTTPS.

In my home, lots of technologies would work. I have static v4 and v6, I have complete control over the firewalls, I can do whatever I want. But at my mum's house, who knows what ports work and which protocols work over them and whether you can change any of that.

HTTPS definitely works though, because if it didn't her web browser wouldn't work and she'd yell at the ISP until they fixed it. So that's why DoH.
Sure but if it's just ChatGPT spitting out code that the users don't really understand I can't see it being a workable solution either.
What I'm thinking is that low-code implies something like natural language pseudo code that LLM tech is able to accurately interpret and turn into executable code. Of course the "accurately" part is still something of an issue, but usually with a few rounds of "no that didn't work" or "that's not what I meant" you can likely get what you actually intended.
Good old RS-232 - my first programming job was working for a company called Digiboard that made RS-232 concentrators for companies that were running hundreds of terminals over that protocol. You’d be astonished at how many terminals some of our clients had networked to a single machine over a serial port.
> None of this class ever seem to be worried about "Crap, what if there are layoffs--will I need to be an IC (individual contributor) for a bit until I find my next VP job?"

This is not entirely true. Some directors do go to another company at a Sr. Manager level.

That said, the reason they appear to always find another job at a sideways or higher level is because most people at director or VP level at successful companies just retire and become "consultants" or "career coaches".

For those that are still looking for a titled job, there is always a smaller company that needs experienced managers. They will give the title to make up for lower compensation.

These upper managers hire executive recruiters who find them opportunities. They sometimes rely on their network.

These managers are never questioned on technical skills, market understanding or ability to lead which is why their likeability gets them the next job.

But realistically, most of them retire with a few million. They are just not in the market like us plebs.

You would fail the LSAT with that kind of logical reasoning ability; just because something (y) might have occurred in the absence of a potential cause (x), does not mean that the claim that x caused y is prima facie false or "a joke".

The big argument against piracy is that it doesn't allow people to get paid for their work, however, with these recent Hollywood strikes and how people are getting paid $0.08 residuals I don't see how piracy makes anyone any worse off.

Arguably donating $50 to a writer and pirating everything is better than paying $100s to these streaming services.

Maybe WGA SAG AFTRA should make their own subscription called the "pirate pass" where pirates can pay the people directly for their work without all the overhead. If I was a pirate I'd $50 a month to get a pass.
I'm absolutely not offering to implement it, but it does seem like one ought to be able to proxy the inner hello to the origin so the owner of the shared IP address doesn't actually get to inspect the content of the TLS stream.

I'm all for getting kids out and letting them be independent. I would ride my bike to the store across all sorts of roads when I was 12-13 year olds to buy rated R movies and Parental Advisory CDs. ("Mom, I'm going for a bike ride!")

When you add these 20-25mph+ ebikes (they can be easily fooled to go faster than legal) and no prefrontal cortex development the situation can get scary quick. Unfortunately we don't have the infrastructure or dedicated, separated bike lanes that make them safe. so stupid solutions like "banning them" are obvious and lazy but there's not much else to do immediately.

> If I'm looking for a thing, and shown lists of things that match what I'm looking for, it's at least consensual behavior.

An argument I find compelling here is as follows: sometimes I will look for something, and the world will tell me what I want does not exist. I will either build it myself or do without. If the state of the world changes, and a solution emerges, I would like that fact pushed to me (concrete example: new, more efficient battery chemistries for hot climates).

Waiting for everyone to pull slows down growth of whoever is innovating this new thing - which in turns hinders their innovation - which in turn slows down innovation in the economy.

There's a tradeoff here with all the bad things you lay out about advertising, but I'm not convinced I should prefer the more rapid rate of innovation.

I have a trick for this that I love that is very general:

1. When a user begins dragging, calculate the layouts for all possible drop targets (or perhaps just those that are currently visible).
2. For each of those layouts record the position the dragged objects ends up in.
3. On each mouse movement, select from those positions the one that's closest to the dragged object's current position
4. Render the selected layout

This ends up feeling really good and works for any kind of complex layout / reflow.
I think you misunderstand me. If I understood your original comment, you are saying you are tired of the social media outrage culture, with the complaint about the EFF blockage being an example of said outrage.

I was just saying that it's ironic that the outrage is being directed towards Facebook, which is usually the generator of social media outrage, and out of all the outrage you complain about, it's the one directed at the source.

Great, 52 hours of rent a year! Marginal cost is approaching $1/yr. Still very cheap welfare if you think this kind of thing is a human rights violation.

Yeah nah two wheels > 1. My kids are accident prone af so I'll give em any help they can get to mitigate that lol.

But also the Honda appeals because it's a big brand. With that comes a lot of users and hopefully lots of mods. There is lots of space in that middle bit that holds the battery and charger. Without a doubt I'd be able to sneak a larger battery in. Not to mention parts will probably be available from the multiple local Honda dealers making repairs easy af in just about any region. Lots of value that isn't just in the spec sheet.

In my primary business (used video games) I've found that the #1 way to get sales is:

- Give the consumer every feature they need (ideally communicate this in a picture)

- Be the first search result

It's not about detailed descriptions, super-competitive prices or superior product quality.

People will literally just throw money at the first product they see that ticks all the boxes.

I do remember national and local news segments about kids dying or being disabled by cars while they were riding their bikes. Most of the time there had to be some kind of point to drive home so it was about lack of helmets or whatever. Not that they really help vs a car. But that's why I just lied about where I was going. I never would have been allowed to ride across the major roads where I was going. If I had died they would have victim blamed me too.
As soon as I read the description, that was my guess too. It was such a simple game and I spent a lot of time playing it.
