Upon reading that first sentence, I immediately checked your username to see if you're my colleague. We do that as well and, while I think it sensible, I also feel like it's relatively out there compared to most businesses (even for banks and the like).

Now I'm curious, are you willing to disclose what line of work you do?

For me, it's security consultancy (code reviews, penetration tests, network scanning... occasionally physical security tests or other related things, but those three are the bread-and-butter), so new employees get to verify everyone's fingerprint on chat. I've been trying to get people to use key signing for PGP (email) and about half the people get it, but now that Thunderbird dropped support for the Enigmail plugin, it also stopped supporting the web of trust and you just have to go through and verify everyone manually no matter how many signatures a key has from people that you've already verified. They managed to make the PGP experience even worse, which is honestly something that should grant an award
What a lazy take. Let's see AI actually own the position reading jiras doing maintenance upgrading debugging deployments.

Yes AI will change the jobs. Replace is way to blunt and lazy a term to describe the potential change that is coming.
According to the article, they're moving people to IPP (the protocol CUPS uses), with the difference that it will warn if configured with encryption disabled (I can't be bothered to check to see what CUPS does for transport encryption by default, but according to MS, it does support it out of the box).

Other things they mention are just a function of having access to the source code (CUPS drivers are mostly open source), and not letting people install DLLs with elevated privilege over the the printer network port (as far as I know, this was never a thing that cups supported). They mention XPS (isn't that dead yet? Is it more secure than PDF/A, or PS?) and Mopria (not sure what this is, but the specifications page on their webpage only mentions things that are obvious security holes: piping your print spool through the cloud, and having the device advertise using Bluetooth Low Energy)

Anyway, CUPS has none of the problems mentioned in the article from what I can see. (Except that it might be common practice to misconfigure it with transport security disabled).
Often yes, but not always. Here both the default is mentioned and a commented line is offered (I like commented lines as they show a proper format).

I once had a contracting job where nobody wanted to update-and-reboot a server because they were afraid of getting fired. As a contractor who already had another job anyway, I had no such fears. The server had been running for several years with no patches or updates. You'd think someone would've been fired for that?

Anyway, the "job" involved more meetings than actual, real work. I'd guess 4 hours of meetings and status updates for every 1 hour of work. I don't know how some places even function.
Strange. I remember trying to get this to work on a 16gb machine and all of the comments on a github issue mentioning it were saying it needs at least 32 or more.

To clarify, I’m not saying that binary search is a bad way to search a sorted array. I’m saying that, if you have a bunch of data, you intend to preprocess that data and then search it repeatedly, that sorting it and binary searching is not a great solution.
Anyone can provide Postgres, MySQL or other open source databases as a service.

For this reason, there are many providers to choose from, and there is a healthy amount of innovation and competition in the space. Prices are set by market and demand, as it should be.

And then there is MongoDB where only a handful of providers could negotiate a license, and the price is set by MongoDB Inc.

In my opinion this is by no means "fine" from a user perspective as we are talking about database software.

If anyone did freeriding, it is MongoDB Inc. who chose to freeride on the open source community for marketing purposes, before switching to SSPL.

Of the three, I would exclusively only classify what people put their attention on as excrement, not childish nor stupid. Childish implies only children do it. Children are, in fact, more capable of comfortably settling into their own being up until around 3 yo. Stupid is a value judgment that I can't find much use for excepting as in describing politicians and the daily utturances to my wife that make our relationship a bit more unnecessarily 'gritty', let us say.

I suppose I'm a bit confused as to what you mean by 'quiet attention'. Does that mean when by one's self or in other similarly externally quiet situations, or by 'quiet attention' do you mean attention that seems quiet to all other because of its nature being inward, inside the individual exclusively?

I'm not sure why you're discussing enlightenment here, as I haven't mentioned it. I like to imagine and hope that I do feel better than other people in general, yes. For these and many other reasons, I can most assuredly assure you that I do not consider myself to be 'enlightened', whatever it is that you mean by that word.

I use the Buddhist term 'being aware' to denote that one is sensing and feeling and turning a part of one's attention inward. I freely admit that I don't know a terrible great deal about Buddishm, nor study it any longer and nor do I formally meditate, in the case that it may soothe your nerves. Rest easy knowing I am but a simple heathen.

All other activity of the mind that involves discarding this most energy preserving and growing mechanism (being aware) that is built into us all, these activities which result only in expended energy, are specifically excrement of thought by comparison. They come of their own volition and without us asking or trying, just like the shit out of our asses.

Your intuition is right.

> Even as they age, most bird species lack physical signs of getting old—their beaks don’t wrinkle, and their feathers don’t thin out or go gray. “Usually, you can't tell the bird is old just by looking at it,” says Kenn Kaufman, field editor for Audubon magazine. “In a few birds, they'll start to develop more white feathers in the plumage around the head, like a person's hair turning white, but that's not a common thing.” Unless a bird is banded, it’s hard to know its age.

> However, birds still go through the aging process. “The dogma in the field for many years was they don't really age, they just die,” Austad says. “But everybody that has studied them intensively can see some signs of them aging.”

> these are subcategories of being attractive, or entangled dimensions at the very least

absolutely not true, they're often about being dominant or authoritative. phone work is a perfect example where people trust you more if you have a deeper voice because you're seen as more authoritative.

Men with hair are considered more attractive, balding men are considered more authoritative because most men in positions of authority are older and balding.

Here, let me reply to your made-up situation with my own made-up situation.

Most industry is heavily dependent on fossil fuels for vehicles. That includes nearly all construction. How would we get around that bottleneck?
Certainly, if your aim is the simplest code with no regard to compression, you could achieve a PNG writer with a small amount of code.

In such a case, you could also skip the PNG filtering as well (whilst for my case, you wouldn't want to).

I think it'd make more sense to go with BMP for a 'simple as possible' image format, that has wide support, than with PNG. PNG is definitely more geared towards a compressed image (as well as all sorts of other features you may not care about).

For just wanting to boot into a live iso.. with Ventoy, the setup is "grab a spare thumbdrive, and install ventoy to that", and adding more live ISOs is just copy pasting to USB mass storage.

Compared to that, I think formatting another partition to install ventoy to (in the use case you're outlining), or updating a grub config with code like `loopback loop (hd0,5)`.. for me, these take more effort and care.

Though, I'll keep the posted solution in mind if I'm ever wanting to boot from ISOs and I happen to not have a spare thumb drive around.

> If you are not a US citizen, however, and you are trying to enter the country, they can use your refusal as a basis for denying you entry. Which is garbage, but... yeah.

Why is refusing to comply resulting in denying entry garbage?
I recently upgraded to using a faster USB stick for Ventoy. For some reason, Windows 10 wouldn't install from my newer, faster USB stick, but would install from my older, slower USB stick. I haven't yet figured out what the problem is.

When booting the Windows ISO, the boot process would never progress past the screen showing the blue windows icon on a black background.

it's designed to be a hacker distro; i just felt like "hacker distros" frequently tend to make a lot of things overly manual for no reason primarily due to halfassed choices made when packaging things - the way things are built in chimera is so that whatever is in the repo is "install and go" - and this includes things like large complicated desktops, in general things are designed so that if you bootstrap a system from scratch (by installing all the packages in an empty root) you need to do nothing more - other than the stuff you wish to explicitly change, and this is done without involving complicated scripts or anything of the likes, vast majority of packages install by simply unpacking themselves

to a degree your system package graph also defines your system configuration for things that are coarse enough to allow it; it's also easily auditable
The same way the first ironworks were run - with charcoal, which you make from organics.
I really miss 2016 MtG. I remember when full art lands and full art promos were RARE and with money for no reason other than their collectability. I really liked when cards were rare because of the fact that they were good and uncommon and maybe because they were the same as the regular card but foil, not because they were arbitrarily a different type of shiny, or like when that one card from Kamigawa had a different color neon border that made it spike to 3k for a while, let alone the new serialized cards.

I wish we could go back to that, because I was so excited about collecting cards back then. Nowadays I feel like unless I open a pack with a crazy reprint or a REALLY lucky list card, there are essentially no cards worth anything. I remember pulling some shock lands and even when they were only 8 bucks it felt really great, like it was gambling. Now, I only ever get packs of remastered sets, and standard sets are wholly uninteresting. I do a $40 draft and get $3 worth of cards, and it is to be seen if these EVER go up in value.

I still love the game, and I play it more than ever. But there are three groups of people: investors, people that realize it is a TCG, and people that think all cards should be worthless. The first is greedy, the middle is realistic, and the latter is idealistic. But I am solidly in the middle, and there is so much pushing on both sides that the middle group is demonized for wanting to play a game and have cards have relative value too.
Looks like all printers will need to be Mopria certified, which is the first time I've heard of this certification:

No, as an EV owner I’m 98% confident ICE is over. The age of fire is ending and the age of maxwells equations is upon us.

ICE is fundamentally too complex. The primary issue in EV is battery tech, and that is advancing so rapidly with so much investment that the 5 year roadmap of CATL and others already addresses almost all the issues, and there’s a ton of wildcard battery tech looming with intense interest.

There’s nothing on the roadmap on ICE. There is no roadmap, just entrenched interests.

> Spreading your Signal phone number is another approach.

That's... like putting your username on your business card as though that's key material.

If you want to do fingerprint distribution, you should actually publish your Signal key's fingerprint (they call it 'safety number' to keep everyone on their toes). The phone number is your user identifier (like a unique username); the safety number is the key material you're meaning to publish as an alternative to the CA system.
Yup. Leave your phone at home if you're gonna commit a crime.
If you could squeeze in LLM integration for that price, somehow undercutting GPT+, but with RAG on your own data, it would be a steal.
For the longest time using anything but gcc was a problem. But people found clang/llvm better in many respects and persisted. Today clang/llvm is a drop in option, even to compile the Linux kernel.

Similarly we should persist with musl. It’s infinitely cleaner, simpler and understandable.

(IF (>= I 10)
(GO #:END-2868))
(PRINT I)
(PSETQ I (1+ I))

#:END-2868
(RETURN-FROM NIL (PROGN NIL)))))

It seems like a more fundamental phenomenon would be the ability to self replicate. I imagine some organic compounds forming a primitive vesicle in a relatively calm lagoon. As the vesicle collects more organics it gets too large and eventually blebs off a small vesicle (primordial fission). The heartiest vesicles that can replicate fastest tend to survive the longest and produce the most copies. Evolution takes it from there.

By a criminal or as part of a prank at least. If security agencies turn out to invest the money needed for doing this, or just have a big enough pool of soundalikes (perhaps additionally trained as voice actor), that wouldn't surprise me much honestly.

I have no idea if a coin can last 100 million years under excellent conditions, but just to contextualize:

The difference between a coin lasting a thousand (10^3) years and 100 million years (10^8) is five orders of magnitude.

As an early adopter of Google Latitude, my location database is currently about 400 MB.

During a bout of Degoogling I‘ve imported my Google Location History Takeout into php-owntracks-recorder and used it happily with the OwnTracks app on my phones.

About a year ago I’ve replaced it with PhoneTrack running on my NextCloud - while keeping the OwnTracks app as a client.

These days, I want to check out Traccar and how it compares to PhoneTrack. I believe Traccar can also work with OwnTracks data. So if the Traccar client doesn’t behave, it’s a nice alternative.

re: arbitrage games with metered things like gasoline, we got rid of pennies in Canada a decade ago so I can tell you how it affected getting gas. Initially, some people switched games from the classic "try to get a whole number of dollars exactly" to "try to get two cents above a whole number of dollars", as that gets rounded down when you pay cash. However, that was also around the time that paying with cards for everything became the norm, so it stopped mattering because credit/debit card transactions don't get rounded. Worth noting, in response to the sibling comment, that if you buy $20.02 of gas for $20, you get a 0.1% discount, which I doubt throws off the owners' books. This would be 0.2% max if the nickel was also eliminated.

There were also jokes about buying one grape at a time so the whole bag got rounded to 0, but I worked at a grocery store for two years and never saw anyone try to exploit the rounding, even to a lesser extent :)

It's absurd that it's legal to bring a new product to market burning a fuel with such well studied negative impacts on human development. Yes it's an existing airframe and other stuff, but enough has changed that I'd expect it to not get to emit lead into the environment.
Yeah, (un)fortunately simple math is all you need to see the carbon cycle could not possibly have worked that way. There isn’t enough carbon produced under the proposed scenarios to support hundreds of years of tree growth, let alone millions. There was probably other stuff that broke down lignin.

We started our startup on Mongo. Hit some pretty hard performance problems and eventually did a multi month long migration to Postgres (Aurora on AWS).

MongoDB is only a valid choice if all you're doing is story key document pairs. The moment you need joins or any sort of aggregations like count/sum e.t.c - Mongo perf is horrendous. Postgres runs circles around Mongo in every way.

With jsonb columns, not much is lost. SQL is a huuuuge bonus. Mongo query language is a giant pain for everyone on team to learn and manage.
