Edsger Dijkstra had a precise english style; even though his mother tongue was Dutch, I find he made better use of English than many native speakers.

In one of the EWD's, he reminisced that, as children, they were taught to never begin to speak a sentence unless they already knew how they were going to finish it.

I'd bet these two observations have a causal connection.
I personally would not suffer if soy disappeared from the planet, but that's just me!

Anyway, soy sauce is something that people _added_ to their diet. The article is about _substituting_ an important part of the diet.
I agree, as ruthless as the door policy is every single time I've been there I had a good time, the crowd inside knew what they were there for and what the scene is about.

To me personally since the big room/celebrity techno DJs took more space in the scene it has become much harder to find dancefloors like Berghain. I'm still sad for De School closing in Amsterdam, it was a very different place than Berghain but the crowd and dancefloors were very enjoyable.
IAM is hideous; users, organisations and policies are a barouque mess, where you're expected to hand-edit JSON files specifying resources then debug the cryptic error messages thrown when their own examples are pasted in.

Plus the documentation is out of date in so many places, describing actions to take that have long since changed.

It's ok for single users (simple single-user use cases) and large organisations that can afford to allocate the time and effort to administer the thing; anywhere in between is a just-say-no.

(ranting a bit because I just lost the whole morning adding a policy to allow a single user to do a limited set of things).
i think the distinction is better described as copyright vs authorship right. you can sell the right to copy, but you can't give up the right to have your name associated with your work.
This was such a nice, concise article. It laid out everything so clearly and now I'm off exploring this subject by myself.
I am well aware that identity and access authorisation is complex, and AWS, GCP and Azure desperately needed to add the capability to their portfolio as this is mandatory for enterprise sales which is where the big bucks are.

But boy as soon as they started adding IAM they took all the fun out of deploying my personal shit to any cloud.
Never said anything of the sort.
> it's a proper satellite fix, with the precision to give turn-by-turn navigation instructions in good time

That’s not entirely true. Phones do sensor fusion when doing turn by turn navigation. Accelerometer, gyro, and barometer are especially taken into account, but also compass and trilateration via WiFi and cellular sources as well.
I didn't say that. You did. Take responsibility for your own thoughts. Improve your reading comprehension. I'm not so smart as to be impossible to interpret. What does it say about you if you are gaining understanding that is missing from my comments? It says you're a zealot and a liar and more interested in conflict than understanding. Go back. Read again. Read with interest. Otherwise this conversation is truly not your business. Is it?
There's a "help" popup indicating the existence of keyboard controls. Then, in level two, you have to rotate tiles, for which no control is documented. What gives?
Are you aware that you can associate an EC2 instance profile on a temporary basis with a role? And attach and detach them via api or on a schedule? Because if you do that, and you hack the machine (Linux, Windows or Mac not relevant...), but you don't have the role with the privileges you need, you are going nowhere.

"Certainly, here is a possible introduction for your topic" in scientific paper
Is that even possible, or just hyperbole? I'd bet the latter. I wouldn't be surprised if some people are able to fully unravel entire paragraphs of conversation in their head in a couple of seconds, but that's not something you could teach to children in general.
Austro-Hungarian bureaucracy is still alive here in Slovakia. It is bigger than EU bureaucracy. The Empire is eternal.
Why do you assert that all threat models have no temporal component?

A realistic attack that compromises a low privilege session may not be able to leverage that into higher privileges. Therefore, limiting the use of high privilege to a smaller window of time definitely reduces the attack surface.
Sorry for you experience. But it not always like this.
Sane security guys always remember that they are there to support the business, not to slow down the development or to prevent useful information and assets from being accessed. So they are ready to accept compromises and are always trying to control the potential risks keeping the comfort of the colleagues in mind.
Systems like this are necessary primarily because these programs are given lower priority than other government spending. If I were in charge the queen would've been buried in a pine box, and the money wasted on her funeral would've gone towards life saving medical treatments.

Any system that prioritizes anything above human health is fundamentally broken, and that's not the SME's fault.

That said, the world is finite and tough decisions do still need to be made. In those cases I would defer to the SME's. If they still thought a system like the above was necessary after being fully funded I would accept that, despite it being distasteful to me.

I didn't say one should assume it, just that many people do. "Chemistry researcher committed fraud" is simply not the same as "Dishonesty expert committed fraud".

You give an alternate explanation, but it's still an explanation; one which wouldn't be needed (and indeed wouldn't apply) to a chemistry researcher.

A variation on your explanation might be: Dishonesty researchers discover just how easy it is for dishonest people to cheat the system, and how little consequence there is, and so is more tempted to be dishonest.
The presentation is nice but the content of the puzzle put me off. I think if you suggest a physical puzzle by presenting it as a rolling ball then you should honor correct physical intuition such that a ball isn't going to turn left by itself as it does in puzzle three. I'm interested in testing my wit, and I am fine with losing, but I am not interested in just finding the correct way to clap like a seal for the puzzle designer.

Remember that 10 or 20 years ago, BEFORE phone, car and doorbell camera data was tracked, people were already saying "everything is tracked, we don't stand a chance", and this defeatist attitude has since contributed to allowing phone, car an doorbell camera data to be tracked as well.
Nah. Not really. To solve a problem, you surface and address the root. What you want to do is what politicians do. That is, roll out a symptom. Hack a band aid on it. Smile. Take credit. And then watch the balloon grab pop out somewhere else.

Intuit will come and go and the IRS will still be an agent of fear. Let's stop f'ing around already. Please???!! Not just for this issue, but all issues.

What you're suggesting we do, we ALWAYS do. And it's just one balloon grab after another. Stop the insanity already.
Most consumers don't do offsite backups (more than icloud syncs of a few photos or whatever, 20Mbps fine for that) and upload lots to youtube, I guess.
My experience is that both of you are right: the security people implement important regulations, and they do so without ever looking at the business processes themselves. Then it's up to the targeted people to chase exceptions and recategorization and and and, which on one hand creates a friction which eats up lots of resources and time, and secondly pokes holes in that exact perfect structure it was supposed to create. And all this could be avoided if security worked hand in hand with business but no, security is all ivory towers and business is all "don't touch my rights". Aka, guaranteed constant conflict and frustration.
If you use Android, an interesting way Google may be collecting your location data - even if you didn't accept any TOS - is SUPL (Secure User Plane Location). It sends cell tower info to a Google server to improve GPS fix times, but many implementations needlesly include PII like the SIM card IMSI number. It can be disabled in settings>location, but it's enabled by default even in GrapheneOS. In my experience it doesn't affect the GPS fix times significantly.
Implementing concurrency in network protocols seems to be more than just a tiny improvement
One unstated rule is that you have to use all pieces. Number three can already be solved with two pieces and that also doesn't count. I strongly dislike this kind of puzzle.
Also the ball starts on a flat surface and then goes uphill(??) in the finish tile.
The problem with IAM systems is they tend to try to encompass so many different functionalities, and stay unopinionated, that there are just so many ways to achieve similar end results. This opens the way for endless bikeshedding, and unfortunately is inevitable to some degree in large enough organizations.

This is a bit of a shameless plug, but I hope since it's an open source project it's okay. I'm working on a suite of tools called Otterize (otter and authorize, get it, haha :) that automates workload IAM for Kubernetes workloads.

You label your Pods to get an AWS/GCP/Azure role created, and in a Kubernetes resource specify the access you need, and everything else is done by the Otterize Kubernetes operators so that your pod works.

It's a lot simpler than all the kungfu you normally have to do, but it's not magic, honestly, it's just the result of limiting scope and having an opinionated view of what the development workflow should look like. Basically, instead of maximizing on capabilities, it trades some capabilities to maximize on developer comfort.

Check it out if you're keen on contributing, or just think IAM has a tendency to devolve into a mess ridden with politics.

This paper does indeed follow your intuition to investigate the limits of transformers on compositional tasks (i.e., those that require multi-step reasoning, including your multiplication example): https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.18654

> Our empirical findings suggest that transformer LLMs solve compositional tasks by reducing multi-step compositional reasoning into linearized subgraph matching, without necessarily developing systematic problem-solving skills. To round off our empirical study, we provide theoretical arguments on abstract multi-step reasoning problems that highlight how autoregressive generations' performance can rapidly decay with increased task complexity.
I once had a business owner interview me and conclude that he wanted to hire me because he felt that I was a good thinker, someone who was, "real meticulate".

I told the boss that actually that is spelled meticulous. They said that he was pretty sure that it was spelled meticulate. I got the job offer, but I refuse the job. The thought of working as and inferior for somebody who would sucker down on the spelling "meticulate" was just way too much for me. What other harebrained bull** would they have me commit to?

Not sure why I bring that up here. It's a personal experience that makes me have no interest in this product whatsoever. Which is not rational. I guess I'm just a hater and I wanted to share this funny story while also maybe causing a loss of revenue to a random company I have nothing to do with.

Cheers!
And it’s a problem for democratic societies in nearly all cases, so that’s why it’s being called out here.
> waiting for the elevated permissions

I think you’re talking about something different. AWS session tokens let you use your SSO to request session tokens that have a short expiry. So you can do API/console actions but if an attacker takes the creds, they expire. It also lets you generate session tokens that only have the subset of your allowed perms that you need for that workflow.

I do offsite backup with 30Mbps up, it takes days to do the initial but incrementals are fine.

Whenever I do an initial, I get a nastygram from my ISP (Cox Las Vegas) threatening me with disconnection for having the audacity to upload 3TB in a few days. This happens despite having paid an extra $50(!) line item addon (on top of a $120/mo bill, so a 42% upcharge) for “unlimited transfer” every month for something like four years.

Criminal scum, the lot of them.
By this argument now that GTK supports directly rendering vector fonts sharply at arbitrary pixel densities we should switch back to bitmap fonts so GTK fonts can be bitmap rescaled again. I.e. the recent GTK reckoning you're referring to is actually about avoiding an extra raster rescale for exactly the reasons quoted, not about wanting more of it.
True, true, it probably wasn't secret services (interestingly, they were busy preparing an operation against Khadafi in Lybia around that time, that they did not execute according to Pierre Marion, ex DGSE director), and Mitterand wasn't keen on assassinations before 81, so i don't think it was on his orders, weirdly.

But i've read that recently "https://www.amazon.fr/tueurs-R%C3%A9publique-Assassinats-op%..." and now i have to jump in when people talk about political assassination, even though i know almost nothing about the subject, and everything i know is so thin it should be disregarded anyway. As the memory fade, i will stop doing that. Sorry :/

Yeah, McDonald's and friends have had no general need to close their places because of lack of customers in Europe.

Counting locations I think compared to other kinds of restaurants their market share is small. Measured in turnover it might be a different story. Few people might enjoy their meal at a McDonald's for 30-60 minutes.
Sustainability is part of ecology, and it shares the fundamental aspect of all ecology: it is important, very important, priority 1.

But priority 0 remains quality of life. If fungi are not as liked as natural meat, what we need is sustainable meat, not sustainable other.

Quality of life now means beef. When beef will not be available, this crap will make sense.

That also happens on an earlier level. The answer appears to be that there is an undocumented requirement to use all of the tiles. I'm not sure why Google appears to believe that documentation is weakness.

"good" is an exact translation of "dobry"

Maybe Hasek intended a double meaning of "dobry vojak" as a) good-natured soldier and b) high-quality soldier (which would be sarcasm), but TBH the option b) just never occurred to me (I'm a native Czech speaker).

There was an interesting two-part series on the Freakonomics podcast about academic fraud, and it covered this case.

It's all incredibly depressing. I really feel for all the junior researchers who end up wasting their time, and often derailing their careers because they followed a path based on other people's academic fraud.

The damage a bicycle can cause is miniscule, as opposed to vehicles and why drunk driving and cellphone penalties are high for vehicles, the fact that doing this in a car significantly raises the risk for damages to property and life of others.

If drunk bicycling should be illegal, walking intoxicated , sleepy, or with your cellphone out shoukd have criminal penalties as well.
Gah, everyone uses different nomenclature when referring to Wayland protocols. Here's an MR for GTK:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/6212

No negative signals for either Mutter or GTK here, but no strong positive signals either. Let's make sure we add our thumbs up, at least.
just because there is something in the contract, doesn't mean it would not also be true without a contract.

in general work for hire is owned by the one paying. this is also true in the EU.

the EU has clear exceptions that work done not for the company while employed, does not get owned by the company. even a contract can not override this. in the US this is less clear, and contracts can demand ownership of everything, and so often they do.

i hardly doubt that warehouse worker contracts don't also have such a paragraph. it's pretty standard. i mean it doesn't hurt to put it in the contract. so why leave it out.

even without a contract though, anything done at work in order to help your job should be owned by the company.

Actually it doesn't dive right into the actual changed lines (even though it can be supported if the `--chunk-size` is set to 1), because it performs an MD5 comparison on the hashed rows.

This would be a great idea, but I am afraid it might be out of the scope of the tool, since we just wanted to keep it on the comparison level only.

We will note your feedback though and see if we can generate such commands in the future :)
Usually just removed from sale, I haven't had any games outright removed from my library.

However there have been many cases where developers pushed an update that removed content, which is really the same problem. You can't play GTA San Andreas or GTA 4 with the original soundtracks if you purchased them on Steam!

It's a flawed premise, the whole thing, worthless. In like any science, even half-baked science, there's a case and a control. Every drug, treatment, test you're given by the doctor... there was a phase trial, cases and controls, outcomes, statistics, etc

Here we're saying "okay, our case is n=1 samples, no control, we're going to need to lean on our gestalt experience and knowledge based on the virtues of this company saying we're good at managing and/or our HR credentials" (this type of thinking also exists in medicine and is equally unsettling - usually wielded by people with experience AND power so it's difficult to disrupt due to the latter)

The lack of control means you can't compare Peter to Paul because maybe Peter likes to stick his neck out and/or take one for the team as a show of teamwork and humility, maybe Paul is cautious and wants to maximize revenue from this position and loves to play politics. Peter is willing to go the extra mile for the company, but Paul will be the one with the perfect record. Now, if there were decent controls for either, they would show Peter is outperforming a control given challenging tasks, and Paul is underperforming by minimizing work done.
As an expert in dishonesty - literally a corporate espionage contractor - I would be very sad if anyone were to actually expect me to not commit misconduct...

I think the FCC ought to mandate symmetrical gigabit as true broadband. With today's fiber tech, there's no reason ISPs can't deploy a symmetrical connection to anyone, and gigabit is a perfectly reasonable speed. After all, the hardware for it has been around for years now.

Right. Just because something is a lot of work ("sweat of the brow"), doesn't make it copyrightable in the US. Feist is one of the main cases in thiss area as I understand it.
I guess that depends on what you consider "development" to be?

In the video they use a seasoning that looks like it is more than salt (maybe salt + black pepper?). Maybe combine a big mac patty with that seasoning and you might get close to the original Quarter pounder?

Also did you follow procedures for cooking like they do? (mainly crushing the patty on a grill).

>That resting process gives them some time to meld together, I presume. To me, a good burger is a messy, fused together thing that looks as if someone has taken a nap on them.

You can do that today by just putting the crushed patty into a warming bin. But its got to be something in the meat mixture that causes all that grease and taste you are looking for.

You might be able to find that seasoning on eBay or make friends with someone who works at a mcDonalds and have them sneak out some of the seasoning or some of the uncooked patties so you can compare.

At least that should be the proper thinking. If you watch all the videos in the channel above they essentially show every item being made. Its various combinations of mostly the same ingredients. My first job out of school was at a Wendys and I saw the same thing there. Small set of SKUs and all the menu items were various combinations of the same things.

The old non freshly made patties have got to be similar to their regular cheeseburger/big mac patties because this is a fast food place so they must be keeping unique SKUs to a minimum. Wikipedia does state that the change in 2018 was a move to fresh beef with "preservatives removed".

The way i'd start is by first ordering two items, a big mac with nothing but the meat as well as a quarter pounder with no meat. Then quickly put the patty on the quarter pounder(or just ask them to do this lol). Start with that as a taste test.
