Yeah the 9/11 hijackers valued the mission over their own lives, which is usually considered a valorous attitude, except in this instance their mission was evil. And this illustrates another point: if you’re evil but not stupid, you’re going to be more capable which means you can do a lot more damage if you want to. We should prefer the evil to be stupid so as to undermine their effectiveness.

That being said, stupidity is still far more common than evil, so the damage done by the stupid-but-not-evil probably outweighs whatever damage mitigation we experience from the stupidity of evil people. (And it’s worth noting that many if not most evil people are quite stupid, at least in terms of common criminals.)
My understanding is that the Neumanns are delicate as crystal.

A certain number of developers will be able to complicate any language or mechanism you provide them, it's how they feel important. I've notice the there is a group of people who has their entire identity tied up in being "smarter" than everyone else, except they aren't, so they build extremely complex systems, because they think that's what smart people do. They are interestingly often extremely well versed in their tool of choice.

I can't imagine a few degrees off from perfectly level is going to make a big difference.
I used Go for many years. My issue is that it's _almost_ a great language, but in its current version it's just a collection of foot guns that makes it difficult to get shit done.

Go doesn't have some of the most library functions, so large codebases shared between teams end up with a dozen different implementations of functions like "minimum" or "filter". Good luck debugging a bug in one of the implementations.

The exception-less error handling would be great if they used sum types instead of (val, error) tuples. Return types are required to have a "default" value if you want to return an error, and good luck finding bugs where you use that value and forget the "if err != nil"`.

Worst of all, they removed most "fun" C things about pointers (like subtracting pointers in the same array) but kept the null pointers themselves. There's no way to ask for a not-null pointer at the type level, so you have to check for nullity everywhere and good luck debugging those runtime panics.
I think in some ways functional programming is easier to understand conceptually; it's a closer match to how I think about things. Like if I want to transform an array, I don't think "I want to create a new, empty array and then loop over the first array and call a function on each value and put the result in the new array", I think "I want to run this function on all the values in this array" (same for filter, same for find...). Reduce is a bit trickier, perhaps, but if you start with the example of finding the sum of all the values in an array that probably lays a decently intuitive foundation for it as well.

So yeah, I don't consider myself a particularly math-y person, but I find functional programming to be a more straightforward and less fiddly way of going from a design in my head to something the computer can execute.
I learned to read at early 3. Can’t tell you if context or not because I don’t remember, what I know is that I don’t have any memories where I don’t know how to read well. I would sit on my dads lap and read the paper with him on Sundays after/during the F1 race or local
races. One day my mom saw me just reading to myself out loud. Perhaps Sundays were the repetition and the 7 days the space.

I can’t say this has given me any advantages in adult life. I had a gf that had terrible vision her whole youth and was basically blind until 9, so she learned to read at 9. I’d say we weren’t that far apart in “smarts”.
Yes, like Python and Javascript right? Turns out you don’t need a great language when you provide what most people want: great tooling, good resources to ramp up, great stdlib, etc. Believe it or not Golang was the first language to do this, and probably still the only one? (Rust misses the mark on great stdlib)
i have a synology NAS. It backs up my google account. For google photos it doesn't work.

So I pay for dropbox. The dropbox app backs up the photos and the synology fetches them from dropbox.
I imagine Microsoft view the code on their platform as an asset, as they can use it all to train AI that they can sell on. They don't want anyone else doing the same thing with the code on their platform.
Note that there's a Python complaint buried in there that was not a complaint about the original Python. It is a two-parter. First, package management is bad news (violating PEP 20 in that there's more than one way to do it) right now. The second is that the language has had some features and libraries deprecated and we're now on a much faster release cycle. Both are summed up in the bit "updates often lead to incompatibilities and runtime crashes."

Languages evolve, I get it. Certainly, when I first looked at Python and saw that whole integer division thing I said, "They're going to have to ditch that." Many people smarter than I have had a wide variety of opinions as to how well the unicode transition was managed. Overall, though, Python has started to feel fiddly in the way that Perl did: a lot of syntactic sugar, programmers writing "clever" code-golf you have to unpack, hunting for external libraries, and the like.
Seems like you are pointing out one obvious challenge to any company that wants to develope such technology.

Maybe it is my european upbringing, but this is not my problem, but the problem of said company. I don't see why they should be allowed to test on public streets.
I dont think there is a language better suited for containerized applications, even web servers more broadly.

Is it the best at everything? No, but it got everything exactly right for its niche imo.

You can't seriously be suggesting any country would shoot down satellites?

That would be far worse than cutting undersea data cables, which they also would never do.

And it would be obvious who did it and break a lot more treaties.

You might as well suggest they'd send a missile to Elon's house.
Sorry for the less useful rant. Yes, we are integrating with IPA for just uid/gid mappings.
From the little time we got to debug before giving up, FreeBSD was fast and working as usual before IPA client enrolment was done.
We tried NFSv3 (with separate lockd) and NFSv4.2 both only performing at about 20% the throughput of what we currently get out of ZFS on Linux. Both ZFS versions being the same. ZFS-2.1

It felt like we were in uncharted waters with the IPA client and gave up instead of fixing the problems.

I wish there was
Pkg install ipa-client

To my understanding, there are ways of wiring a USB-C cable such that only four contacts are active, and behave as a USB 2 cable? (although you can only do USB 2 charging over it, so no PD)
If you switch from Prettier to deno-fmt you will notice many changes to perform on your code base. Biome tries to minimize these changes.

A workplace is a very special setting though. Your coworkers are people you have to be around day in and day out, and to mix any kind of romantic pursuit with that is just asking for trouble. Especially in this day and age when "perception" can easily shade into outright paranoid attitudes.
Love this project! Can you tell us a bit about what stack you used to build this? Were there easy-to-use APIs to get this data in realtime?
I've gotten a couple PostgreSQL t-shirts over the years when I volunteered for this or that.

My favorite one is the one for the release of PostgreSQL 8.4. It's simply blue on white and the design is after one of the boxes from the periodic table of the elements: with "Pg" in the middle and (as I recall, it's not in front of me now) and an "atomic weight" of 8.4.

The other was for the release of PostgreSQL 9.0 when replication was introduced. It's a blue shirt with white print. That banner feature is the prominent text on the front and a herd of Elephants charging at the viewer like you might see a stampede of horses do on a western movie's poster.

Good designs celebrating milestone events for the project.
Vale has a very interesting approach to memory safety, without garbage collection or a borrow checker, using a memory management technique called "generational references" which I had never heard of previously.
I've been fought by people insisting that if we're using a framework, we should be using it for everything, if it has it, even when both agree that doing it natively is actually less cumbersome. All that in the name of consistency. I think middle ground is a good solution.

On topic: I don't think WebComponents are going to "make it" until someone builds a nice framework on top of them. React, Vue, Svelte, etc. solve a number of problems that are not directly solved by Web Components. State management, rendering, routing - right now, these are, imho, the high level areas that need solid solutions for an UI app to function in any sane way. How much of that is solved by going Web Components?
I've owned two Logitech webcams over the years, and both of them have a built-in mic with pretty excellent quality for speech/calls. If work meetings are your primary use case, don't overlook what you might already have sitting there.

I happen to also have a Yeti sitting on my desk, but I've fallen out of using it since it has a habit of disappearing after my computer suspends/wakes until I replug the USB cable.
> I liked how if you failed your wealth check, your score was lowered for awhile. You could also increase it like any other score with enough success of difficult tasks.

Put that way, it sounds like it's less a wealth check and more like a credit check where it's assumed the boring stuff is deferred until after the adventure.
Agreed.

I think something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD_NdnYrDzY would work well.
No, they just lock you into one framework per component. I don't know why people say obviously false stuff like this about web components besides they just really, really want it to be true. Yeah, if you're willing to have the same framework on the page ten times, you can just chuck them all in separate script tags using the custom element API. But if you care about making a performant page with progressive enhancement, etc. this is a bad strategy.

Even the name "web components" is basically just marketing fluff. When people say "web component", they mean using two particular DOM APIs: customElement and shadow DOM. Those are both pretty niche APIs. There are some cases where they are helpful, but 99% of the time, they don't add much to a project versus good old querySelectorAll and normal CSS.
It looks like it's the GOVUK Frontend JS. Most of it is probably not necessary.

That being said, the site feels instantaneous to me, and scores 95/100 on PageSpeed Insights, with the only oversight being the render-blocking Google font which adds 750ms to initial render, but should be cached on subsequent navigations. Perhaps your browser isn't caching it, which would explain the sluggishness.

200kB of JavaScript (50kB gzipped) is pretty lean for modern websites. React.js on its own is around 130kB, for just the library.
It would be nice if there was a standardized machine-readable format for information like expiration dates. It would be neat to be able to track inventory in the fridge by just scanning a label when you put it in then scan and mark as empty when its done.
I feel like people complaining about Prettier being "heavily opinionated" are missing the point. Perhaps I'm biased by my decade of using Go, but not having to worry about superfluous stylistic choices is a welcome reduction in cognitive load. (Up to a point I guess, e.g. I'd never put up with K&R-style newline opening brackets).
A 22-year old ordered by their manager to falsify data knows it's wrong, but doesn't know how to handle the situation. The point of ethics courses is to teach students how to handle situations like that, else they'll just continue to be exploited until they learn how to handle things on their own.
It’s must nicer to read IMO than a generic-heavy language. Sure Golang is a bit more of a pain to write because of that but it’s a trade off.
Tomorrow we'll see an article that says: "beef consumption tied to higher rates of cancer". Sorry to be cynical.

I'll never forget - back when Google News was more about an amalgamation of all articles from around the web - there were 2 articles in the "coffee" category: "Coffee consumption linked to cancer" and then "Coffee consumption linked to lower cancer".

The answer is really moderation. Michael Pollan puts it well: "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants".
> I find Prettier to be way too heavy handed

But that's the purpose of such tools: to stop endless debates about style.
I still think the point of the “next” comment is that we didn’t really learn anything — except that there’s more to learn. To your point, way too much nuance here, and it sounds like the title — and maybe article — is clickbait.
Feynman rebuts:

> I have a friend who's an artist and has sometimes taken a view which I don't agree with very well. He'll hold up a flower and say "look how beautiful it is," and I'll agree. Then he says "I as an artist can see how beautiful this is but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing," and I think that he's kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me too, I believe. Although I may not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is ... I can appreciate the beauty of a flower. At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty. I mean it's not just beauty at this dimension, at one centimeter; there's also beauty at smaller dimensions, the inner structure, also the processes. The fact that the colors in the flower evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting; it means that insects can see the color. It adds a question: does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms? Why is it aesthetic? All kinds of interesting questions which the science knowledge only adds to the excitement, the mystery and the awe of a flower. It only adds. I don't understand how it subtracts.
For photos i backup using dropbox. Then my synology fetches the photos from dropbox.

Google photos only has the low quality photos.
I'm going to have to argue that point. The best decaf is just ok. Typical decaf is pretty noticeably bad.

I go on decaf stints occasionally, and not opposed to it. I'm grateful it exists. But you do pay for it in taste.

No, that’s exactly how I understood it... which is categorically different from laws like a minimum voting age.

How to get money back from Crypto scammers
The threat of hackers looms large, with devastating consequences for individuals and businesses alike. The rise of cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin, has attracted the attention of cybercriminals seeking to exploit vulnerabilities and steal valuable assets. The alarming increase in bitcoin theft has highlighted the urgent need for robust Folkwin recovery solutions that can counter these attacks and reclaim lost funds. Hackers looking to take advantage of Bitcoin's weaknesses are becoming a greater threat as the cryptocurrency's value and adoption rise. The Folkwin expert recovery is a new and sophisticated method that has gradually eclipsed the traditional approaches used by hackers to target Bitcoin owners. The world of cryptocurrency has witnessed a surge in popularity, with Bitcoin emerging as the leading digital currency. However, as more individuals venture into the realm of Bitcoin ownership, the risk of hacking and cyber attacks has also increased. Hackers have employed various techniques to target Bitcoin owners, but a new method called Folkwin expert recovery is now surpassing traditional tactics, adding a twist to the ever-evolving landscape of Bitcoin hacking. Traditional methods have long been used by hackers to take advantage of Bitcoin owners and access their digital riches. Phishing attacks are a common tactic in which people are fooled into disclosing personal information about themselves. Furthermore, Bitcoin wallets have been the subject of ransomware and malware assaults that take control and demand a ransom in exchange. Another strategy tries to crack the complex private keys that safeguard Bitcoin holdings using dictionary and brute force attacks. Even though there are many benefits associated with the Folkwin expert recovery procedure, it is important to take into account its drawbacks and difficulties. To successfully combat sophisticated hacking techniques, putting this strategy into practice might need a significant infrastructure and resource investment and Folkwin expert recovery has got this all. Contact them through Email: Folkwinexpertrecovery (at) tech-cementer (dot) com or Telegram: @folkwinexpertrecovery here for assistance.

Not to diminish your positive results, but this seems like an overstatement to me. We do not have a universal cure for anxiety, even if we have treatments that work for some.
That's why I'm wondering if they've tried. It may well be that the restore shows that even accounts that don't appear to be affected have lost files simply because very few people have an exact accounting of what it is that they've stored.

I have pretty much all of my stuff in a subversion repo and it serves both as backup and local copy checked out on multiple machines. The only exception is the business stuff (because it is shared with multiple people) and we use Google for that. But an inspection of Google take-out showed that it's nice to have the files but you won't be doing much with them outside of Google unless you download them one-by-one in a format that isn't tied to the Google cloud. And that is very tricky and time consuming.
> It is a multivariate situation [...] It could well be that it is not diary or meat but the amount of glucose/fructose one eats which really affects this.

Your missing puzzle piece is the fact that we do multivariate adjustment models to adjust for cofounders.

You might as well ask "How do we know whether it's the cigarettes or the fact that people who don't smoke also tend to exercise and eat vegetables? I guess we can never know!"

It sucks that they wrote a contract where they didn't have legal access to redistribute documentation to the contractors they hired, but them's the breaks when you write shitty contracts. Any insurance company has armies of lawyers available, so it's hard to feel bad for them.

This is not necessarily a compliment to the language. I'm OK with a language created by merely somewhat smart pragmatists.

Explanations like this do nothing to address that price-income ratio of housing in the US is better than almost any other nation.

It seems far more likely that it was things like the single-room occupancy stock, which almost completely disappeared between 1960 and 1980, that changed housing availability and therefore prices far more. I say like because I suspect it was not at all monocausal, in terms of the regulations that made building more and more varied, harder.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_room_occupancy

> As a result, the buying power of the average American peaked in 1972

This seems suspect on the face of it. Percent of money spent on food, after all, has gone down dramatically since. You might say it's for reasons beyond inflation (eg, better food supply), but then so is everything else related to those conditions.
Shh, any louder and you'll rouse the Butterfly keyboard or the Touch Bar from their graves!
The problem is the cheaters and liars. The people that hide behind Terms of Use and Policies and Charters and Corporations. The people who control the world understand the reality and it is the game they force on us to play. To the unfortunate nonhumans this is normal and it is needed and desired by them. But for true humans it is an utter cesspool of nonsense and piercing thru this disgusting film of garbage is gonna take some cojones. Simply because The Establishment likes to solve everything with making you into powder pieces using mechanical tools of destruction. The only Modern Tech we have is the speed to put someone in a tomb.
I do a takeout quarterly and stash the data someplace safe. I've been burning the data to M-DISC blu-rays for a while now as a deep archive copy, they seem pretty reliable.

I also now have multiple apps syncing all the photos from my phone so they're stored in a couple different cloud photo locations on top of that.
Because you have been given the marketing material that it is safe.

Now let's continue this thought. Which company, do you think will produce the safer vehicles: The one liable for the faults of it's technology or the one not liable?

Now maybe the interesting question is why so many people shill (against their own interest) for the company known for the least responsible way of dealing with the matter.
From the article:

> There is a growing body of evidence about the detrimental health effects of consuming too much red meat and dairy, so this study shouldn’t be taken as an excuse to eat more cheeseburgers and pizza; rather, it indicates that nutrient supplements such as TVA could be used to promote T cell activity.
"Web Components" are the name for a dream, not an actual technology. The actual technologies involved -- customElement and shadow DOM -- are pretty crappy to use directly, and even when hidden behind a framework/library don't buy you that much. But people want it to be true that there is such a thing as a "Web Component" so the dream lives on.
