> What value would there be in preventing guessing?

It prevents enumeration, which may or may not be a problem depending on the data. If you want to build a database of user profiles it's much easier with incremental IDs than UUID.

It is at least a data leak but can be a security issue. Imagine a server doing wrong password correctly returning "invalid username OR password" to prevent enumeration. If you can still crawl all IDs and figure out if someone has an account that way it helps filter out what username and password combinations to try from previous leaks.

Hackers are creative and security is never about any single protection.
Matplotlib for python solves this with a SymLogScale, which is allows you to chart (-10 ^3, - 10^2,..., 10^2, 10^3) in the way that you'd expect. It does this by being linear between two small limits (to avoid doing log(0) and upsetting the mathmos) and showing sign(x) * log(abs(x)) elsewhere.

You can probably do the transformation yourself directly on your data, and then do the inverse transformation relatively easily for your tool tips.

> If you go to Europe and say you "date" 10+ times the same person in a year, you'd be considered as someone desperate. Dating in Europe just refers to the first encounter.

That is not true. In various European languages, the local equivalent of the word date includes settled couples going out together. If you go on date 10 times with the same person, you are considered to be in the beginning stage of the relationship.

10 dates with the same person with frequency of 3 dates a week is three weeks of knowing each other. That is not deep into the relationship yet anyway, it is beginning stage of a romance. Assuming you are looking for a stable relationship rather then hook up.

I'm Greek, thanks for the explanation though.
I'm convinced that GitHub's decision to move away from Rails was partly influenced by a significant flaw in ActiveRecord: its lack of support for composite primary keys. The need for something as basic as PRIMARY KEY(repo_id, issue_id) becomes unnecessarily complex within ActiveRecord, forcing developers to use workarounds that involve a unique key alongside a singular primary key column to meet ActiveRecord's requirements—a less than ideal solution.

Moreover, the use of UUIDs as primary keys, while seemingly a workaround, introduces its own set of problems. Despite adopting UUIDs, the necessity for a unique constraint on the (repo_id, issue_id) pair persists to ensure data integrity, but this significantly increases the database size, leading to substantial overhead. This is a major trade-off with potential repercussions on your application's performance and scalability.

This brings us to a broader architectural concern with Ruby on Rails. Despite its appeal for rapid development cycles, Rails' application-level enforcement of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, where there is a singular model layer, a singular controller layer, and a singular view layer, is fundamentally flawed. This monolithic approach to MVC will inevitably lead to scalability and maintainability issues as the application grows. The MVC pattern would be more effectively applied within modular or component-based architectures, allowing for better separation of concerns and flexibility. The inherent limitations of Rails, especially in terms of its rigid MVC architecture and database management constraints, are significant barriers for any project beyond the simplest MVPs, and these are critical factors to consider before choosing Rails for more complex applications.

Yes, that is a great observation! I’ll have to think about that one… I see the core distinction between CFL and Foundation as pragmatic focused narrative vs idealistic grand narrative, but there’s also a very very interesting element of magical realism and religiosity in the former that I find far more interesting than the more empirical themes of Foundation dealing with institutional structures and their reciprocal relationship to historical developments.

But I’ve only read the first book of Foundation, so might be wildly off. Tried to read the second, but accidentally bought the third and never got the time to fix the mistake! Who names their third book “second foundation”??
> Nobody cares if AWS, Azure or GCP have EU datacenters.

That's wrong. For EU companies it makes a difference, since it allows them to be compliant. It may not be enough for you and me, but it is a huge legal (and also practical) difference. Generally I agree it is dumb to give these companies data (regardless where they are) and that includes already data from me as an end customer. They can't be trusted when it comes to data privacy or lawful use of my data.

Still there is a difference of data being used for company/business usage or for intelligence. Generally the trend to host data in the EU and having regulations on the EU level is a positive trend.
Wait, you’re offended for yourself because the author describes how he was harassed at work?

Dark mode produces the halation effect in many people that have astigmatism. This varies between individuals, much like the severity scale for astigmatism.

I said that dark mode is not a neutral/inclusive choice, especially for people with astigmatism. If dark mode doesn't affect you, good for you, but the statement is factually correct.
This is exactly what I’m talking about! It’s so frustrating.

We assume others think the way we do - in other words we project. Makes sense - the only mental model I know of is my own so when I try to approximate someone else's mental model I'm just fine-tuning my 'base' mental model with information I know about the other person.

I wonder if this is the basis of empathy - if I can train more accurate 'fine-tuned' models in my brain I should have greater capacity for empathy. Although there's undoubtably more to it than that, if the above is true you'd expect to see a positive correlation between empathy and intelligence.
My Skype account was hacked many years ago. It started with me getting an email about some credits being added (from my credit card that was in the system).

When I logged onto Skype, I had a new name, and a new contact, both of which were Ivan something. I immediately started chatting with Ivan, who told me that there was a weakness in the Skype login security, which he tried to exploit.

I changed my password to another Medium to Strong password, and a few minutes later my name was again changed to “Anders xoxo Hafreager”, and a message that he had hacked me again.

I still don’t know what he did or how he did it.

Yes, because you don't need a car if you live in a well designed city.

I live in a UK city and I've read the plans for the building I live in, it was submitted twice before it was accepted. Nobody had a problem with the interiors, they're nice which is why I bought one. But the original plan was rejected in the 1980s for lack of parking -everybody needs two cars right?. The same plan (with internal upgrades, nobody wants 1980s bathrooms in a 21st century home) was submitted twenty years later and now it had too much parking. So they removed some spaces and it got the OK. Today it is 0.8 spaces per unit.

I haven’t considered it. There was a small time frame where I thought these are "serious" conditions which worsens my ability to see over time, but apparently it’s just a normal thing and I know that I usually react overly sensitive to "anything". Like in: if an average persons says that a cup of tea is warm, I’d say it’s hot. I try to put most things I encounter in/on me to this perspective and it massively helped me calming down over these things. I just stopped attributing floaters (amongst other things) any brain time and since then I basically forgot I have them.
Indeed, it seems they cherry picked random sentences and chose to be offended.

Taking it to its conclusion (had they bothered to read the article) they would realise that the article is about dark mode zealots not dark mode users (of which I sometimes am, and I have astigmatism).

People really are reading half articles these days.

I even provide a link to a paper on this too.

I'm under no obligation to read everything to completion. Your piece gave strong signals of being a poor fit for me, so I disengaged from it. Which is exactly what I said in my comment.

> I can guess both of them feel strongly about dark mode.

Again, this comes across as disproportionately hostile. I've already noted I don't have strong feelings on this topic, but you insist on interpreting everything as partisanship.
>people thought that the Tories were the solution (specifically in the last election), but rather that Labour was a worse choice than the Tories

That had more to do with the media being owned by British oligarchs obsessed with nuking a threat to their wealth. They hated the guy who hid in a fridge but they preferred him to the guy who was going to tax them a lot more.

In 2017 the fairness in broadcasting laws kicked in just before the election and when Labour got equal airtime in the media there was a straight line climb in popularity as people actually heard the unfiltered views of the opposition. That straight line climb is what led to the hung parliament. A few more weeks of that and it would have been a Labour victory.

During the last election those laws were ignored and Boris was treated as some sort of white knight in shining brexit armour by the same people who dispatched him with partygate and he was duly elected.

In this election Labour has the full endorsement of those media-owning oligarchs not because it is run by competent leadership (starmer is a moron), but because unlike the last guy he's very oligarch friendly. Their wealth is safe with him in charge.
We, as very high-paid professionals, should ask for most ergonomic workspaces. We (or our employers) spent thousands of dollars for latest macbooks, cool chairs, motorized stand-up desks, etc. Light is no less important than that.

All the best conditions for «computer opetators» were studied in details in 1990s, really. What should be lighting conditions, what should be desk hight, which distance between screen and keyboard (say hello to laptops), etc. It is not a rocket surgery, all data are available, there is standards and recommendations («codes») in each developed country. It is shown, that proper workplace could double productivity, for both lathe machinist and computer user.

I would guess that your experience is less true than you think, additionally it's not just your supposed internet speed at play here, it's of course disk speed of your machine, disk speed of their machine, every hop you need to hit to get to their CDN; and then you should pray they use a CDN, those are expensive and there's no financial incentive for Sony for you to have a fast download. :)

People already don't care for job-killing products and processes that have way more negative impact than AI-generated movies. For instance, they don't care that they are eating food that is mass produced through a process that eliminated 90% of the jobs previously required for producing it, and which now contains high-fructose sugar, artificial preservatives, etc.

There will be a short-lived, knee jerk reaction against AI-created content. But ultimately, if the content looks good, people will wholeheartedly embrace it.

Yeah the built-in GPIO on the Raspberry Pi is nice indeed. You can get PCs with GPIO too tho. If you look for 'industrial gateways' you'll find a number of them, but they are a bit more pricey. Alternatively, you can use a GPIO over USB, but that comes with own set of challenges.
Deep learning is a glorified form of curve fitting.
Being able to predict the next token/frame is good if your goal is to fake the ability to generate text or video, but doesn’t yield a deep understanding of the world as proven by the inability of SOTA models like GPT-4 to do any sort of serious reasoning reliably. The same is true for the latest text to video model of OpenAI called Sora, which is incapable of knowing the basic laws of physic despite being trained on an enormous amount of videos. These models excel at generating human-like text and videos by predicting the next token or frame based on vast datasets they have been trained on. However, their capabilities should not be mistaken for a path toward achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
