If you use a higher constant, 10000 or 1000000 or something, you give yourself a good amount of more fleixibility.
Such a sheer waste of time, money and efforts which could have been directed elsewhere.
Perplexity especially is absolute garbage for 99% of people and their use cases. Google search is instant, available from every browser window and works with minimal keystrokes. LLM based search is such a bad experience on mobile where verifying the likely nonsense response is even more of an expensive task.
The thing about Emacs isn't it's key bindings. It's the extensibility and integration of the overall system.

As others say, begin with the built in tutorial. It should be as simple opening Emacs and pressing enter. If for some reason it's not that simple, open Emacs and press Control+h followed by 't'. The tutorial walks you through the basics. The tutorial mentions C-h v. There is also C-h f for functions.

Next, when you're ready, learn Emacs Lisp. You can read An Introduction to Emacs Lisp online or within Emacs (using C-h i eintr).

Otherwise, hack and extend it. The joy of Emacs is that it presents you with programming problems at the threshold of your understanding. You decide whether to dip in. It provides you amazing resources to do it.

I hope you find a speedy recovery to your injury and have fun with Emacs.
I’m not sure how useful this is from a homelab setting as the services are private, but what I’ve typically done to address this need is to write AWS Lambda functions, make them accessible over HTTP, and have the uptime monitor (I personally use uptime kuma) monitor that HTTP endpoint. I can then return a 4xx or 5xx response from the function when a certain condition isn’t as expected.
But it must have _some sort_ of API. Since your rest API is modelled on their API it made me really curious about how you communicate with those networks.
Just some hand wavy arguments.
"Search quality got worse" is a widely-held opinion about a subjective measure (quality of search results). It's not a statement of fact at all.

Not seeing how this is stereotyping. He is just presenting his results. Whether those results stem from direct attacks or botnets? He doesn't even speculate.

When I ran public servers a few years ago, I saw similar results. Since the company had no customers in Asia, we IP-blocked the entire continent.
We have literally no idea what the 'sanity test' involved actually did, and the common use in computing has little connection to any such use in psychology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanity_check informs me:

"A sanity check or sanity test is a basic test to quickly evaluate whether a claim or the result of a calculation can possibly be true." ...

"In computer science, a sanity test is a very brief run-through of the functionality of a computer program, system, calculation, or other analysis, to assure that part of the system or methodology works roughly as expected. This is often prior to a more exhaustive round of testing. " ...

"In software development, a sanity test (a form of software testing which offers "quick, broad, and shallow testing"[1]) evaluates the result of a subset of application functionality to determine whether it is possible and reasonable to proceed with further testing of the entire application."

and further comments that "sanity test" for some people is interchangeable with "smoke test".

It also adds:

"The Association for Computing Machinery,[8] and software projects such as Android,[9] MediaWiki[10] and Twitter,[11] discourage use of the phrase sanity check in favour of other terms such as confidence test, coherence check, or simply test, as part of a wider attempt to avoid ableist language and increase inclusivity. "

I could not find a definition for "sanity test" in psychology. I know about the cognitive test that Trump made famous with ‘Person, woman, man, camera, TV‘.
The lead actor of Charlie's Country has an extensive biography that goes broader and deeper than many might expect. Just the Dennis Hopper stories alone make a tale worth telling.

Well it’s conditionally persuasive depending on the animal and people’s priors. Dogs vs horses vs pigs, etc.

Agreed on all your points though.
Fortunately this won't be the end of the world, as quite a few states and localities now have net neutrality laws of their own, which would presumably go back into effect if it were deregulated at the federal level again.

Of course, the FCC could presumably create a rule that explicitly allows ISPs to do non-neutral shenanigans, and then the DoJ could start suing states, saying the federal rule preempts them. Not sure how that would pan out, though I'm sure the current composition of SCOTUS would be fine backing the FCC in this case, if the challenges got that far.
If you’re into smart home stuff, it’s hard to beat singled for the price (specifically their zigbee lights, don’t clog up your WiFi with lighting).

I’m sure their normal LED lights are great (and cheaper), but I went all in on RGB lights. They stay in “normal” daylight mode most of the time, but I like having the option.

I've seen that more than a few cases where people used the wrong data structure (like array, for O(N)) look ups, instead of a hash.

All the inefficiencies add up, at scale. a 3% inefficiency means you're spending ~3% more on compute. CI takes longer. Dev velocity decreases.

Ok, but if you’re a well off 40 something mom trying to buy your daughter tickets to a Taylor Swift concert, what would you do?

Or airline tickets. Or furniture. Or lawyers. Or health care. I can go on.

Not an expert at all but from my understanding a traffic correlation attack doesn't require someone to run the relay he just needs to see what traffic enters and leaves it. So the German BND for example can just go to Hetzner (15% Tor traffic) and ask them to mirror the traffic of all relays to them. They don't have to run any relays themselves.

Alt227 has a point but the Tor network is centered around a handful countries where traffic is cheap and there aren't that many huge IXs and Tier 1 ISPs where much of the traffic flows through.

I'm not saying that this is done but it's IMHO more likely than state actors running thousands of relays.
My favorite quote about abstraction is from Edsger Dijkstra:

”The purpose of abstraction is not to be vague, but to create a new semantic level in which one can be absolutely precise.”

If only the “A” in API stood for “abstraction”. For many APIs, it probably stands for “accreted”. :)
those are not the risks to fair elections. politicians who deny the election results and use lies and misdirection to convince their followers that the election was "stolen" are the true risks.

Despite the required process for changing regulations in a log of executive branch agencies, I feel like laws Congress passes are a bit more durable. Even with a different majority, there's still horse-trading that needs to go on to get things done, and it's not always easy to push through things that are unpopular with the minority party. With executive branch agencies, whoever is in the White House pretty much has complete control, modulo rules that slow things down, anyway.

Is the source the stats that it collects like you have accepted 60% of the reccomendatios ive noticed those are rather inflated. Ive yet to see one that deincrements its count even if yoy delete it rigjt after accepting, much less if you have to go back later and delete bunch of stuff it did subtly wrong.

You're weaseling with the ambiguity of the word "cure". I already stated the extreme conditions that approach would require. It has resulted in deliberate, although incidental, cures several times. It was certainly a cure for them.

CRISPR personalized approaches are more promising by precisely excising vDNA.

There is no panacea here.
I think these are great reasons to vote for Biden (or Democrats in general), but... I mean... the best reasons? I'd think the best reason would be not putting the country back into the hands of a wannabe dictator who has said he will target his political opponents if he's re-elected. That seems quite a bit more high stakes than the good work that the FTC and now FCC have been doing on Biden's watch.
Those are not credible sources.

One tricky thing to model neatly in payment APIs is that payment schemes indicate the roles of payer and payee in payment returns in different ways. E.g. for one particular scheme the payer and payee may be kept in the same position as in the initial payment (creditor of payment return is actually the one sending funds) whereas in another one they are switched (creditor is the one receiving funds in the return). I'd be curious to see how they are handling this case as it can be a real head-scratcher.
I don't think any of this data justifies a ban even for the worst offenders, and the comparison to Big Tobacco is pretty comical hyperbole.

Feels a bit overkill to ban these ingredients given the culinary uses, even in home cooking for things like gluten free baking and salad dressings, simply because they're mildly unhealthful. I can think of many common things from both home cooking and commercial cooking that present a far higher risk that are normalised... and health honestly is not everything.

Changing the default port - yeah, works wonders for reducing noise. But I don't understand why people run fail2ban. Nobody is going to be brute forcing a ssh login, all it does is add another moving part very close to a security boundary for very little gain.
> detain criminals and hold them until police arrive

You are suggesting we take the poorest paid retail workers and expect them to hold down criminals! Planet la la. I cannot imagine the employers giving workers training or defensive gear either. And zero backup when workers get taken down as retaliation on the way home...

Following your logic perhaps we just need robots with guns.

Did you read the headline of that article?

You need government ID to get on a domestic flight in the UK. You also need government ID to get on a flight from the UK to Ireland.

As with the sea border and the land border, this completely invalidates your claim about what ID is required to travel between the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

You don't appear to have travelled between the UK and the Republic of Ireland, ever, or to have flown domestically in the UK since 9/11. You stated above that "they do not check ID on UK domestic flights", not "the CAA does not require ID but all airlines do". The first statement is untrue. Not sure why you are making stuff up in support of an urban legend about the UK/Irish border.

Even if there was a difference between the ID required to board a flight from the UK to the RoI and the ID required to board a UK domestic flight (there isn't - both require govt ID, not necessarily a passport), the situation at the boat and at the land border completely disproves your original claim.

It doesn't just move errors to compile time. It moves runtime errors into the interface layer where you parse a request to bind it into your type so that by the time it reaches the persistence layer or something deeper you don't need to bubble up validation errors. You measure your invariants at the boundaries to provide safety to your interior code (defensive programming) and provide meaningful errors messages to users (developer experience).

I cannot cop to "smoke test" being interchangeable with "sanity test," in any way. Smoke tests are obvious crashes, often before any real input. I had a friend on the build team of Windows NT 5.0 (until it was called Windows 2000) and their version of smoke test was "can it boot up to the login screen," and that's similar to working in electronics, where powering up your machine or circuit is all you do and you hope it doesn't release the magic smoke, before you actually do anything with it.

On that alone, I am very doubtful on that article.

This is also distinguished from what I have taken to calling a "pre-flight checklist" at the start of large programs, making sure databases are connected, requisite tables are present with the correct columns and datatypes, that specific files or directories exist, that files may be of a certain "freshness," and so on.

I'll stand by it: sanity test is a lot more descriptive and useful than "quick test." Those footnotes are only kicking the can down the road of justifiability. But let's examine them according to the aforementioned The PC Replacement is Less Useful criterion.

Recommending just "test" is ... well, double-plus ungood, in the sense that we now have no idea of the qualities of this test and how it could be distinguished from some other test. Hard pass.

"Confidence test" only implies a statistical likeliness, like a confidence interval. It does not imply the This Ought Not to Happen of a sanity test.

"Coherence test" is interesting but ... coherent against what?

If someone wants to sell me on a replacement, they are free to try, but the replacement must be at least as good at communicating what it does as the term sanity test. If this fails, then it will be scoffed at, and should be.
So this basically summarizes as "A) the goal is to reduce runtime errors so manage your time well, also B) linting tools are good at doing that quickly"?

I feel like it could really use a couple examples of situations where type safety is a waste of time. As-is the post vaguely suggests a tradeoff and doesn't elaborate.
> This may sound pedantic and click-baity

exactly, it's clickbait
Opinions. Could prove. They believe. Me? I think it won't prove, I dont believe and probably their theory is less probative than they think, and in any case I don't see what ethical, or functional difference it makes.

If contextually reality is defined in this theory to be simulation in some higher reality, I'm content to keep living in this mode, in this reality thanks.

Assuming we were able to be given a viable restart/do-over button doesn't mean we should stop living. Axioms of this world in this run through aren't demonstrably mutable, so let's continue to obey the laws of physics.

Thanks, I was probably responding to “That doesn't quite sound properly type-safe to me” in isolation.
Do you have any recommendations for me? Thank you.
I've always thought it a strange and insensitive phrase.
The title is pure click bait, the title suggest that type safety doesn't matter, but then the author explains why it does matter e.g. catching errors at compile time instead of run time. A better title would be "My take on type safety".

To add to what other people said: we're talking about criminal trials, here "on average" isn't enough. Criminal procedure requires such a high standard of certainty(proving without a reasonable doubt, unanimity of jurors) because unlike civil trials it actually sends people to jail. So being right "on average" isn't enough because we can't afford to punish innocent people, we would rather not punish a guilty person than wrongfully punish an innocent one.
And please don't use 'brain dead', which is a mortuist expression. Using 'brain dead' in a negative way may be insensitive to zombies. Also avoid the expression 'zombie process' or the word 'expired'.

You don't want to step on the toes of a zombie do you? (It's probably gross.)
That’ll fix it. ;-)
> It’s only useful because of what it accomplishes: moving errors from runtime to compile time. Even that isn’t a goal on its own. The real goal is reducing runtime errors. Type safety is one of the best methods of achieving these cascading goals, but it’s far from the only one.

Why is an example necessary for this? It's trivially correct.
The usual claim in right-libertarian circles is that it is only possible for monopolies to arise through government action (bribery is sometimes a means to encourage that action, but its not always intentional or that kind of specific corruption, but it is, in most libertarian explanations, always government action.)

And for this purpose, “government action” excludes protection of what the libertarian in question thinks of as proper property rights, which almost dogmatically have no adverse consequences.
Many plans do throttle. On my “unlimited data” cell phone plan, YouTube, Netflix, etc all can only really load at 480p, even in areas where speeds are fast enough for hd video.

In those areas, I can use a vpn and easily get hd video.

Although, the cell network is pretty terrible where I am, and more often than not there is no hope for streaming hd video.
