Although, in a shit hits the fan scenario, I would expect to be able to access my FDIC insured account money more reliably than a money market fund.
This is hilarious. It's not as risk-free as an FDIC insured HYSA account though. I don't care what the ETF tracks - being an ETF that tracks something comes with some additional risk.

Filling Gaps with a Polyfill
I was thinking that because it was a roll excursion, assuming that’s along the axis intersecting the plain of the landing legs, it’s not a matter of being upright but rather a matter of being pointed in the wrong direction. Because they’re landed near the south poll of the moon, and because the moon is tidally locked to the earth and always shows us the same side, I imagine they have a very specific angle they need to be at to be looking at the earth just over the moon’s horizon.
UPS is up there, too. I still get text messages about an old address on an account I can't log into for...reasons. (Special characters sound plausible! And of course the password reset flow doesn't work.)

Wonder if they share a vendor.
Provided enough cooling, a chip that can boost to its turbo frequency for a few seconds should also run stably at that frequency indefinitely. Nowadays these boost clocks are so high that there is often not much gained by pushing any further.

I don't see any reasons not to put everything into diversified ETFs. Low risk, reliably comparatively high returns unless the world economy or the entire US economy crash (which would ruin the value of almost every asset anyways).
> relying on a corporation like a bank to be nice is risky and a fragile stance (they can change ToS any instant).

Banks are a lot more tightly regulated that most other businesses, and (in my experience) don't generally have "we can change the ToS whenever we want, however we want" clauses in their customer agreements.

All the banks I've dealt with say they have to give you 30 days notice of any ToS changes, and with language like "if we reasonably consider that the change is favorable to you" (or similar).

If your bank has more leeway in changing its ToS on you, I would suggest having a look around at the terms other banks offer.

I came to the comments looking for something like this. Honestly I’d buy a collection of debugging essays.

Do anyone else know of other places to find stories like this?
what is ridiculous about it? I read the gist of the articles I am mildly curious about by summarizing them on the spot. If it sounds more interesting than I thought I read it in full. Saves me time. Sometimes I ask one or two clarifying questions as well. Arc browser has this built in and I find it very useful.

I summarize the transcripts of 20+ min. long youtube videos to get the gist, which is what I am interested in anyways. Saves me time. (this is something I built custom for my use, maybe there are other options for this)

It is not an obsession. I always wanted something, someone that could do this for me, and now we have it.

I came across an interesting fact about X86,

> currently there are actually no modern x86 CPUs on the market. Both Intel and AMD don't actually use x86 cores, but instead proprietary RISC cores, with microcode that translates the x86 code to RISC code on the fly at execution time.

https://cs.stackexchange.com/questions/132211/what-are-the-a...
This cs.stackexchange link is a good read.

Wikipedia also states something similar,

> In the P6 and later microarchitectures, x86 instructions are internally converted into simpler RISC-style micro-operations that are specific to a particular processor and stepping level

The EU and UK have systems to allow the tax to be paid when purchasing, for large companies that support it like Ali Express. These are fairly new.

Countries also have their own limits below which they don't bother with the taxes. There was so much abuse of this in the EU+UK the limit is now zero.

The only time it should be surprising is when the foreign website isn't paying the taxes, and it also isn't clear it's a foreign site. Generally on cheap crap from China.
In general, people on the Fediverse want to be able to make local moderation decisions; the way that extends to other federated sites is by not federating with them. Most Fediverse sites will not federate with sites that have bad or nonexistent moderation (or simply incompatible moderation policies). Bluesky's architecture basically means that it is one big unmoderated site. The normal reaction of Fediverse admins is then to block it.

As a controversy, it's been blown out of proportion. It's just Fediverse admins setting the moderation policies for their own sites, as always.
One aspect of knots is missing from these descriptions: suitability for inspections. Wiring on something like a mars rover is going to be inspected dozens of times. So you want a knot that can be easily seen as correct from a variety of angles and without manipulation. Just as climbers want a nice symmetrical knot, if you are inspecting things you want a clean-looking knot rather than one that may have slightly better technical performance, ie figure eights over clove hitches.

Similarly, work with aircraft and you will see safety wire rigged not only to be secure but to be easily spotted and verified from a distance. Safety wire that cannot be verified easily means more work during every future inspection.
It can, and I tried this, but in practice we have to change our passwords at my current employer so frequently that I got more irked changing it on the Yubikey (not the least hassle-free of processes, as I couldn't install the Yubikey software on the work machine) than just typing the thing.
Back in my day we used to call it "IT security", and nobody gave a poop about this. Then hack after hack after hack, costing $bn and people woke up to the need of IT security and IT audit.

But hey, nobody wants to admit that they fell asleep on the wheel. Then suddenly "IT security" was dead and "Cybersecurity" was born.

I get your feelings. Some organizations have the wisdom to give the CISO a chair on the big table, and some others prefer the quick buck at the risk of the big disaster. There is no correct answer on this. Their company = their choice. We can only chose to not-shop-from or not-work there.

Don't think of infrastructure as "one big thing". Consider that it was being secured one-asset-at-a-time. So, one server = 1 server hardening = Farm/WLAN+Firewall+IPS+IDS+Vuln+PenTest. And then you automate. One of my favorite mottos are "set it and forget it" (but set it right, automate the tasks and review schedulers and results thoroughly).

So yes.. it can be done, good and well, it can add value/reduce risk.
Marcus recently locked my account for unspecified reasons and it took a couple weeks to unlock simply because they weren’t allowed to send a verification code to my phone since it was on a prepaid plan (?!?). Quite nerve-wracking to have all of your “safety” funds inaccessible and stuck behind fairly helpless front line agents that offer no escalation path.
I'm blaming the Japanese leadership for not surrendering sooner (though given the coup attempt, I'm not sure if they would've been capable of surrendering).

My opening line was "I don't like that they happened either", and the reason for that is civilian deaths are bad — I reject "total war" as a concept, and I see the Allies use of this in WW2 as having all the moral weight of a child in a playground saying "the other guys did it first" (and not just because I moved from the UK to Berlin about 5 years ago and get to see all the museums, archive footage of bombed-out apartments, and that the house building process still today includes "we have to check for unexploded munitions").

The point is that, even in with the benefit of hindsight, it seems to me that this much force was actually needed to make some very arrogant leaders stop their war.

Also, we can and should learn from hindsight, which suggests e.g. that Hitler's remilitarisation of the Rhineland could have resulted in a coup against him if the French had sent in (IIRC) "a dozen soldiers with bayonets". I presume there were also other missed opportunities in the Pacific theatre, though I don't know them.
“and people want to be good.”
I’d even push back on this a bit. Many people do not actually care about being good. A small but significant minority are psychopaths.

But more likely, too your last point, lots of people have a distorted sense of good, in that they can’t separate it from their own self-interest. What is good for them will be justified or reframed to be ’good,’ and this is often unconscious.

Privacy Isn't Dead. Far from It
There's not a lot, honestly. Pretty much all discrete motherboards are gaming rigs of some form. The basic computer for general users is now a "laptop" (which tend to work quite well for general gaming, FWIW). But the low end choices from the regular suspects (Gigabyte, MSI, Asus) are generally fine in my experience. You do occasionally get a weird/flawed device, like you do with many product areas.

> US doesn't appear to know how to make cheap, high quality container cranes

The US doesn’t know how to make cheap, high quality hardware as far as I can tell. Basically every time I’ve recently looked for a piece of somewhat specialized hardware, especially if it’s at least a bit electronic, it’s from China or Taiwan. The cheap sketchy hardware comes from China. The slightly more expensive apparently nice stuff comes from China or Taiwan (but is oddly hard to buy — apparently these companies have not mastered distribution?). The really nice expensive stuff has substantially less informative spec sheets, comes from US-based companies, and is actually a nice package wrapped around almost-stock gear from China or Taiwan.

Even brand new innovative things “from the US” outsource to ODMs in China or Taiwan.

For some reason the US doesn’t seem to have nice contract manufactures or ODM shops and also seems to lack the expertise needed to cost-effectively design or manufacture power electronics.
What do you do if CI is slow and you're merging small commits frequently? For example, what if CI takes 15 minutes and you're trying to merge more than 4 PR's per hour? Our integration tests spin up and reboot Windows machines, it would be tough to get that test under 15 minutes.

We use the "merge when pipeline succeeds" button on GitLab, but if two people have clicked that button it's a race. The winner gets their PR merged, the loser gets their pipeline invalidated because `main` has changed; they have to rebase onto main and try again.

OTOH, if instead of rebasing onto main when running the final pipeline before merge you rebase onto what will be main once its pipeline succeeds your own pipeline will still be valid.

In other words, by using stacking we can do final merge CI pipelines in parallel rather than series.

Unfortunately, we haven't found good tooling for this flow that works with GitLab. git town does stacks and works with GitLab, but it has a few limitations that make it a poor fit for what I call "merge trains".

Saying “this is wrong” is very different from saying “this is fraud”. Why is it so hard for you to tell the difference?

You never even need to engage with the question of whether something is fraud when disputing something.

If you say that there are 75 million people living in Germany I don’t need to call you a lier or a fraud to say that you are wrong and dispute your statement. That‘s just not necessary. I can just point at this website https://www.destatis.de/EN/Themes/Society-Environment/Popula... and say you are wrong. What do I care whether you simply misremembered, go wrong information from someone else and believed them or are actively lying.

Banks do this as well. I made a purchase, and within minutes got a very scammy looking e-mail from them - low quality gifs, asking me to click on links to a random non-bank website(something like purchase-verification-users.net/235532/confirm.html, and the site wasn’t coming up on any searches). At the same time I get a call from a random number asking me to go over some purchases - I looked up the number, and it’s none of the ones listed for my bank.

So I hang up and call my bank directly. I spend 10 minutes going through the phone maze to talk to someone. Finally I get to them, and they confirm that is a number that they use to contact people. How come when you list numbers on your website you don’t list this one? Well, they said they often call from numbers they haven’t listed online. How about that e-mail, do you send those? Well, we sometimes contact people by e-mail, if it says it’s from us in the from: line you can click on it. Did you guys send that one? I don’t have that information; don’t click on it if the from: line isn’t us, but if it is, go ahead.

> “AI” will be the end of ad blockers...

On the contrary, I feel like AI--even if it doesn't advance much further than the level we already have achieved--is putting us at the cusp of finally being able to have good end-game fully-working ad blockers: I'll just have an AI in my browser read / look at / watch / "experience" your content and then launder away any and all ads in its presentation to me... I can even have it make extreme edits if required, rebuilding the audio and video, to remove subtle bias your content wants to infect me with due to sponsorship deals.

What is fighting to prevent ad blockers is not AI... it is pervasive DRM: if we live in a world where the tech platforms continue to side with Big Content and prevent us from being able to capture and alter media as we see it on devices they insist we "buy" and yet never "own"--and where the business models of the most powerful companies rely on proving that an end-user human affirmatively was on the other side of an interaction (and thereby might have been infected with paid propaganda)--we are stuck inside of a dystopia :(.

And Fediverse admins will block that bridge, just like they would any other site with bad/nonexistent moderation, and will advise each other to block it.

That is not my point. Even if we had a model that could portray reality as objective as possible, a lot of people wouldn't like that and be actually offended by it.

This has also been going on a lot in the "representation" discourse.

A bohemian village 500 years ago would have been 100% white in almost all circumstances. Surgents would be male. Telephone scammers Indian and so on.

But in many ways, simply showing reality is not only not wanted but even offensive. What has to be shown is an idealized version of reality that we want to achieve and that is "more diversity". And what is maximum diversity? Zero white people.

Code that sleeps for a month: Solving durable execution's immutability problem
Durable Execution maintains program state in a journal, and this can lead to complications when updating service code in such a way that the journal no longer makes sense. Limiting the duration that handlers run makes this immutability problem a lot easier to deal with. But wait - doesn’t that lose one of the most interesting properties of durable execution - the ability to create business processes that operate over long durations (’code that sleeps for a month’)? The insight is that it is possible to break up long-running handlers into multiple short-running handlers if the handler can remember state. That way it knows where to continue from on the next invocation. With this approach, you only need to worry that your handler state is compatible with your handler upgrades which is usually a much simpler problem to solve. Restate provides you with consistent handler state so that you can choose to design your handlers the way you prefer it.
You can deduce the answer by charitably interpreting that the situations in which I’m attaching a keyboard and monitor are those in which that’s a reasonable action.
I contacted Wells Fargo to complain that their use of 3rd party surveys from non WellsFargo.com domains attenuates customers to entering banking information to 3rd parties.
