For starters, it took them four years to detect an intrusion that takes advantage of a messaging service (iMessage) that wasn't the corporate choice for internal communications, and allowed the exfiltration of gigabytes of data from the C-suite and high level managers.

This is Kaspersky. They had to be aware of the long history of iMessage security bugs. They could have disabled it. They chose to ignore it instead.

Market-driven capitalism without any government incentives (or disincentives) has no answer here. You just proposed something that's not market-driven capitalism. That the government should get involved in some way to fund and incentivize what it deems to be good for society in the long run. The market on it's own can't do this.

Long time ago, I did sth similar, i.e. made a screenshot every few seconds, with the purpose to automatically extract information from it, e.g. how long I was using some app.

I wrote a PNG DB to split PNG images into many blocks and have each block stored in a DB. If there are several equal blocks, it is only stored once. Via a hash table, the lookup for such blocks is made fast. With this PNG DB, I have a compression rate of about 400-500%. https://github.com/albertz/png-db

Some of the scripts I used to analyze the screenshots are here, but in the end, it was not really so successful and reliable: https://github.com/albertz/screenshooting

In the end, that lead to another project, where I just was storing that information more directly, i.e. what application was in the foreground, what file was open. https://github.com/albertz/timecapture

Funnily enough, when exploring lucid dreaming in my 20s, I ran into sleep paralysis. My experience tracks with the article (eg: sleeping on my back amplified it) This stopped only after I started using a CPAP machine, which I’m surprised wasn’t focused on more in the article. If obstructing your airway causes you to wake up a bit, maybe that’s what leads to sleep paralysis or even lucid dreaming? Curious if others have experienced something similar.

Could you provide some more detail on what the architect does versus the developer? Is my example below along the right track?

e.g.

* PO says they want a way for customers to book an appointment on X product

* architect identifies where that change should be made, how it integrates with the rest of the system, identifies any non-functional requirements that need to be addressed, identifies any third party dependencies, what docs should be updated,

* dev writes and tests the code, supports through the testing, release and post-release phases
Illuminance (lux) is a measure of the amount of light falling on a surface, not the amount of light being emitted. Any reflected light will count towards the measured illuminance.

Sunlight is just incredibly bright. There's a reason why film crews often need to use huge metal halide lamps powered by a generator truck - it takes an immense amount of power to compete with daylight.

Retrospectively, although I kinda disliked it the first time I watched it, Star Wars 8 was the best Disney movie of recent years.

The rational justification is that seaside has often wind from the sea which bring cleaner air. There are no car exhaust, no power plant emissions, no factories, no dust in the sea.

Air quality in any coastal city in Poland is much much better than in Warsaw/Krakow/Wrocław which are quite far away from the Baltic sea.
There are many practical examples already in Haskell. Pure functional programming is not necessarily about avoiding effects, but about controlling, tracking and managing them. This enables better reasoning and more safety guarantees. For example, software transactional memory, the STM monad, allows optimistic updates to shared mutable state by safely supporting rollbacks.
Screen avoidance isn't necessary, but 20-20-20 breaks do allow ciliary focusing muscles to periodically relax during closeup sessions.
Another big advantage of solar, and wind to some extent, is that is distributed. It provides resilience to the network. Nuclear produces a lot of power, sure, but it's one big fat single point of failure.
Very interesting, thanks dor the insight. Would you fault Apple for not disabling these?

If you ignore all other variables, then of course the situation looks like what one variable would make it do.

Would covering a desert in solar panels cause more thermal solar absorption in that area than would otherwise happen? Yes.

But if we're optimizing for "offsetting the heating effect of human GHG emissions", then installing 4.5TW of solar (about 4x what has been installed worldwide to date) would have a much more positive effect.

The world currently has 1.1TW of solar installed, producing about 6% of all electricity. So our new installation would be on its own capable of supplying 25% of global electricity usage. The corresponding drop in GHG emissions from the shutdown of coal, gas, and oil power plants would far outweigh the fact that part of the desert has been turned black.

My first CGI was using Informix-4GL. If you're familiar with 4GL, you might emote "you what!?". It was a very crude tech demo, it was the hammer I had and shortest path the database data, and it was not a good fit.

But that's kind of the point. Ye Olde "request -> stdin -> program -> stdout -> response" makes the computing piece very tech agnostic.

My second foray was using SIOD (Scheme in One Defun). It had marginal HTTP/CGI support. More than enough for my purposes: running, caching, and rendering SQL reports from text files to PDF so they can be downloaded.

Those were internal projects, nothing on the public internet. But it just helps to demonstrate the flexibility of CGI in a new world of interconnectivity when the tech and tools were still forming and cooling out of the heated plasma of the new age.
It would be interesting to know why many of their projects are gradually transitioning to other languages. If someone paid me for programing in Haskell I would never voluntarily switch to something more boring.
Amazon has a lot of cheap KVMs now. I have a DisplayPort one with 3 USB ports and my favorite part, a wired button to switch between computers! I just stuck the button to the bottom of my desk top and can switch instantly. There’s also a wireless remote I’ve never tried and a keyboard hotkey (though using its special keyboard port confused my Mac so I plug my keyboard into a hub through the KVM’s ‘generic’ USB port.

I’m not affiliated with the maker in any way but if anyone’s curious I can go look up which one I have. It was just a random Chinese thing under ~$45 or so.
Ah...Pizza Hut's bottom-line cost of employing a "$20/hour" delivery driver is a lot more than $20/hour. (Assuming they're employing him legally, vs. "cash under the table".)

That's fair. Teaching provides immense non-monetary rewards for people who have the temperament and ability to achieve them. (It also provides non-monetary rewards for people with toxic and authoritarian personality traits, but that's kind of a separate issue.) The educational system continues to run (to the extent that it continues to run) because it takes (economic) advantage of people's idealism.

Education isn't the only sector that does that. Medicine has become that, as well. OSS would be a tech-related example.

Some years ago I read a piece, only partly tongue in cheek, by an economist who posited that rates of pay are inversely correlated with the good any particular job does for humanity. I see that observation regularly confirmed.
I lost the first website I ever built. It was a very thorough "fanboy" site for Goldeneye 007 on Nintendo 64. It was hosted on Angelfire, and I misspelled "license" as part of my URL (accidentally). I don't remember my "region" like /mi4/.

It had a frame-based layout and the cool 90s animated gifs.

I think it's totally lost, even though a lot of those pages got archived. I have copies of pretty much everything else I ever built.
Sure it's absolutely fine showing the product but doesn't really show the problem it's solving. Perhaps a talking head for 10-20 seconds describing what a common problem this particular note-taking app solves. You don't have to rehash the video, or reedit it, but rather add more context on the front end. Before someone sees it they need to know what to care about.

And the good thing about this approach could be that you create 10 to 20 to 100 versions. You can use the same base video to show the product. Then add a bit of context and the problem, and see which videos do better on youtube via searches and impressions and views.
> 3. I do think it is a big surface area. It can be reduced and, in this thread, I have never stated you cannot reduce it at all.

No, but you did state, "I think exposing the entire database to users is a pretty big surface area to hand out." without qualification. Owing to the ambiguities of human language I never know for sure what people are saying online, but it seemed plausible to me that you thought the surface area couldn't be reduced at all. I welcome your clarification, so thank you for that.

> 6. I did not state [people don't need all the power of SQL].

Well, you did state, "We don't need all of the power of SQL." Sorry, but I took "we" to be "all of us." Perhaps "we" meant just you and your colleagues for your particular use-case. Again, I would be grateful for clarification though you're not obliged to provide it.

> I still don't buy that for a real-world dataset, the security engineering would not be onerous relative to a DSL.

Let's get down to brass tacks. The "security engineering" which I don't think would be onerous comprises:

- basic data types

- custom data types

- custom domains

- primary key constraints

- foreign key constraints

- check constraints

- triggers

- procedures

- views

- Row Based Access Controls (RBAC)

- Row Level Security (RLS)

- recource limits (e.g. statement timeouts)

Do you still consider these to be onerous?

> and you haven't provided anything concrete to counter that

Let me ask you this. Take your use-case of "a multi-tenant database with sensitive information in it that would be bad if somehow another user was able to access it." I don't know the details so for all I know it could be something simple. In that case, it could be handled with something like what's depicted in this demo.

https://asciinema.org/a/AVEDmoFRlciDxpXx3PYk1ERXy

It's just 4 lines:

grant all on tenant to tenant; -- use RBAC for the table

create policy tenant on tenant as restrictive for all using (id = current_setting('session.id')::uuid); -- RLS specific policy

create policy global on tenant as permissive for all using (true); -- RLS general policy

alter table tenant enable row level security; -- Turn on RLS for the table

Granted, your use-case probably isn't this simple. Then again, we still have 196 lines to work with before we hit the dreaded 200.

It's been a long day and this thread is getting awful deep, so I don't expect you to respond. If you'd like to continue it in different channel (e.g., GitHub discussions) I'd be happy to oblige, however. Peace.

> The simple question to ask yourself is why do battery installations always get quoted in units of power - GW - and not units of energy, GWH - which is what we actually use?

For the same reason gas power plants and hydroelectric power plants are quoted in MW units, and not on the size of their fuel tanks or reservoir volume (converted to MWh as appropriate): it's the most important number for balancing the grid. If you have 90 GW of power demand on the grid at a given moment, you need 90 GW of power generation on the grid at that same moment (simplifying a bit, since transmission constraints mean you also need some of that power generation to be at specific places).
The headline says this is the first one in 60 years so I’m not sure how you can suggest this pattern.

Here is an idea. Maybe the most optimized neural network is the brain. Computation to energy consumption ratio.
So essentially the way doing this in silicon is just pointless.

There must be a reason we can do so much while consuming so little, and then again struggling with other tasks.

What is the success if we build a machine that consumes just heaps of energy and then is as bad in maths as us?
