In my experience nonce reuse doesn't happen because of a probabilistic collision. It happens instead because people who don't know the history or context of what they're doing make a change to the code base that results in the nonce being reused, and there were guardrails missing that should have been there to help prevent it.

It stems from hubris I see repeatedly in the software engineering industry. "I know the constraints and am capable of engineering to them, so don't lecture me about the potential dangers. I'll just make sure we do it right, because I'm smart and capable and can do it right."

They think the problem they need to solve is to write code that's correct today, while the actual problem they need to solve is that it remains correct tomorrow, next quarter, next year, and next decade. Based on repeated failures in this category I've personally witnessed, the majority of software engineers with fewer than ~10 years of industry experience lack an intuition about how software changes over time as people come and go.
Honestly the cheapest way to muffle sound is to not create it in the first place. Guests make noise to hear themselves over other guests and the din of the room, the quieter the room, the quieter the guests, etc.

Essentially, the louder the noise floor, the louder the signal has to get to be intelligible at every table, which raises the noise floor, creating a feedback loop. Good acoustic design in a space accounts for this by minimizing how much acoustic energy is present in the room - both by removing it (with acoustic treatment), spreading it away from sources (by isolating tables/booths, using hard surfaces to reflect sound away, etc), and preventing it from being created in the first place. For example, keeping bus stations behind galley doors and training staff not to clink silverware/glasses/dishes when filling bus bins and avoid playing loud music, etc.

In my experience, most restaurants fail at this because all the people who do it well are in the high-end restaurant business, which most restaurants are not. If the key to a space that isn't too loud is to limit the number of patrons, have dining room space allocated to treatment between tables, have highly trained staff with consistent management, and a big enough kitchen space with heavy enough doors to isolate the sound within - your only option is to be a high end restaurant.

But the high end places fail at it because they don't care and want to maximize the guest throughput because their margins still suck.

Little know trivia about him - he was a suspect for years as the Zodiac Killer.
I read this piece with great relief. It's easy for anyone to feel offended/frustrated when coworkers, outsourced teams or even customers twist and turn your system's original clean design, making it badly designed over time. I enjoyed reading the three laws because they make me feel part of an universal problem. Software systems are no different from physical matter: it decays. It's the damn entropy. Who of us would dare to fight against it?

That works well when you go to movies alone, for a family of 4, that cost starts going up to $100/month. And unfortunately, not enough good movies come up during the year to justify spending $1000+ every year on just movies. You’re better off watching a couple movies in theaters and then watching the rest on DVD.
There are some reasons to be interested, given how expensive they are to make (in some genres), but overall I am always surprised how much we all seem to care how much movies cost and earn. I don't ask that about books or musical recordings or even TV shows, yet somehow with movies I'm an investor?

A horizontal self drilling loop would be worth millions as a cheap technology.
It's a good example, but it's entirely Paul's fault. A trust is not exactly rocket science or esoteric, and if Paul actually cared about any of these things he had many years to just ask lawyers to set something up with a few million in reserves for each of the Living Computer Museum, Cinerama, SciFi Museum, etc. (and many months after his final diagnosis to tell some lawyer to go do so).

The fact that he did not shows that he just wanted tax breaks for his toys and is a great example of why private collections aren't great.

Phone use doesnt seem to be an issue anymore in my city. Ive been to the theater on opening weekend 3 times this year and Ive never seen more than 10 people at my movie. And with assigned seating, no one even chooses seats near another person. The biggest draw to going to the theater these days is how empty they are. They solved the biggest issue, other people!
gem of an advice!
>> When group A wants something from group B that most members of group B do not want to give, someone needs to be unpleasant. Either there needs to be unpleasant rules saying that members of group A are not allowed to ask members of group B for what they want. Or the individuals of group B need to act unpleasantly themselves.

>> Laws against begging are a case in point. Banning people from asking for money they might desperately need is unpleasant. It also prevents the minority that feel good from giving money to beggars from doing what they like. Laws against begging moves the obligation to be unpleasant from individuals to society as a whole.

LOL, this took an interesting turn. Begging for money is not equivalent to begging for sex, money supplies food essential for life. Nonetheless, I see the point being made, should we have rules where men are not allowed to flirt with women? Punishable by law. Yes, it will be abused, but it will also force men to find ways to cope.

More salient question: Who in society should take the burden to cope with bad actors?

Material Files has an ftp server built-in and can also access SMB shares.

Windows File Manager has ftp access built in. Start the ftp server on your Android phone then in File Manager address bar, just type:

The ftp server will present this info at startup. Assuming both your phone and desktop are on the same network, the connection is easy.

Once connected, you can access just about anything on your phone from Windows desktop.

It wasnt too long ago when the scientific institutions whipped up hysteria & paranoia against the public & dissenting scientists. Where dissenting scientists & researchers where fired, blacklisted, & harrassed.

Protecting one's own interests in keeping rights protected is not paranoid thinking. The problem is "science" has turned into a religion. Where the faithful use their faith to justify locking down & taking away the rights of others. And transforming the economy in their favor. The integrity of the scientific institutions has turned cynical & beholden to capital interests. It's obvious.

Hypocrisy in how the Covid policies were enforced don't help. BLM rallys & the political elite should not be exempt from Covid rules when the rest of the public is locked down.

There comes a point where oopsies need to be harshly condemned. Even if the oopsies are not cynical. We don't let our children get away with oopsies. Why should the "experts" get a free pass? The "experts" are not supposed to make oopsies.

I can see the logic of seppuku in stopping misconduct. Not saying that should be policy. But real consequences to incompetence or cynicism by "experts" is needed. If the corporations & government cannot deliver these real consequences, then the public must pick up the slack. Or incompetence & cynicism are rewarded & grow more prevalent.

They did that at great cost - the cars are not very close to factory original - most parts of been replaced multiple times. Those are not the original engines. It would have been much less labor to just replace the cars with something more modern. However Cuba had plenty of low cost labor and no ability to import anything else so they did it anyway.
It’s still called a “DVD release” whether it’s 4K or blue ray or streaming on Amazon. You understood what I was saying. This was an unnecessary nit.

Yep, they are surprisingly complex and expensive sensor-controlled devices, and a modern car might have a dozen of them. Just their replacement alone will be thousands of dollars, on top of the actual collision repair work.

This creates the same "cohort effect" you see in Ski season pass pricing. People who get a good deal from the pass and pay relatively little to go a lot, and people....who just don't go anymore.

The whole model this is based on is basically creating a giant audience segmentation and aiming a big part of the funnel at your [competitors, alternatives, etc]
Fury Road made sense. The fact that Furiosa is set in between the original Mad Max and the time of Fury Road kinda says "cash grab" to me. No real logical reason to insert this fifth film between films 1 and 4 other than "we don't know how to continue the storyline with something new, so let's just bridge the gaps".

> I have a website/blog that gets 1-2 million people per year, if I monetized I could get 5-20k/yr

This depends on so many things. For one, there are various ways to monetize. Sure, if you just slapped Adsense on the sight, that may be your earnings. However, if you add in some of your own products, as well as direct affiliations, you could earn $10k+/month. I've heard of people making triple that in a single month.
You can get an 85 inch television for $800 after tax at Best Buy today. Maybe the market for leaving the house to watch a big screen just isn't there anymore. People have their own big screens now.

It seems like after Endgame, there have only been a few 'event' movies like Oppenheimer, Top Gun Maverick, and Dune 2 that would be worth experiencing in a movie theater.

And even then, those movies are pushing 95-100 dB during some scenes, making me not really want to do the 'IMAX' experience again, it's just too loud and too big. A 40-60" OLED from 5-10' away and near my fridge and bathroom—with a pause button so I can get up halfway through a nearly 3 hour movie—is too tempting.

It'd be nice if there were 1.5 hour movies that cost $10 a ticket in a nice, normal theater.

This is a fascinating article. We know that we need to get kids outside more, but aren't able to prioritize that (except in Taiwan). Instead we're trying to find ways that let us keep using classrooms and screens the same way.
I'm very interested in the increased indoor light therapy (for my own use). I would really like for it to be as bright indoors as it is outdoors, matching the spectrum of the sun, without being horrifically expensive.

Obviously things differ by location, but I'm in a large, pretty expensive city (Seattle). I usually go to the Cinemark in Bellevue because they have IMAX. This is a nice theater in a nice area. A ticket to see Furiosa tonight, in IMAX, is $19.50. A ticket for a standard screen is $13.50. My recollection is that's pretty much what movie tickets cost 10 years ago.

I think the films just aren't enticing enough to steal eyes from streaming services, TikTok, etc.
Doing the same thing, it's fantastic.
The rich have been flogging this idea since cash for clunkers. That, because they run through cars like shit through a goose, you will too.

Speaking as a master diesel mechanic, this is a deleterious line of thinking for anyone with less than a few million dollars. Every car has 20 years of parts, and most Japanese cars have closer into 50 years of parts. Any engine built after 2010 will likely last half a million miles or more as a feature of quality control and automation alone.

Maintaining a well running vehicle long term with a local mechanic is always cheaper than buying a new car every 5 years, and just because insurance says its "totaled" doesn't mean it isnt fixable and safe to drive.
These rules exist in conservatives religious countries, like some of the more fundamentalist muslim countries.
Did someone pee in your coffee this morning?

I know very clearly how it works. It's essentially a tradeoff: don't create indexes by default, and you don't take the hit of creating indexes but then hit the risk of queries starting to fall over due to lack of indexes when you start to scale. Alternatively, create the indexes (again, by default), with the risk that you may be creating ones you don't need.

Importantly, all I am recommending is what the default behavior is - I still think you should be able to opt out when creating the FK. It's just that (a) in my experience you do end up wanting an index at least 80-90% of the time, and (b) not adding indexes usually has much worse implications than adding them unnecessarily.

Also, this is obviously an easy thing to get wrong given the number of times I've seen different developers hit this, and the fact that different DB engines have settled on different defaults (e.g. MySQL does automatically create FK indexes and requires an index on all FKs).

But please, continue, let me know what an idiot I am.

I wonder if the new FLirt Covid strain also plays a role here to some extent. I see more people with masks again and lots of people calling in sick actually.
People will say "oh but we have proven that going to streaming sooner does not effect ticket sales", to which I say - how can we be sure that the compounding effect of every movie going to streaming after 45 days has not brought about a fundamental shift to the theater's value proposition?

"You Are My Friend": Early Androids and Artificial Speech
You can put together a hell of a 4k projector set-up with 7.2 surround and all that, for the cost of about 100 $20 movie tickets, with a little bargain shopping. If you have the space for it.

100 tickets may seem like a lot but 1) you can probably have six or so people watch comfortably at once, so the ticket equivalent may be reached fast, 2) the experience will be overall better than a theater in basically every way except that you can’t compete with exceptionally-well-suited movies on, say, imax (the odd film like Dune—I saw and liked Furiosa on imax but it would have been entirely fine on my projector). Those will be the only remaining films that are even tempting to see in a theater.

As an older adult I've realised I most likely have ADHD - I've always struggled to focus in busy places, unless the person has my attention - as soon as we are in a group or people all talking or pitching in, and I can't focus on one face, I'm lost. My hearing is fine (I assume) - but I've come to realise I can't process information when there is too much going on.

My family will often have the TV on, games playing on phones, and talking too - I just can't hack it.

Equally the option to work from home has revolutionised my productivity - without having 10 things to filter out, I can just focus on getting the task in hand done. In an office I often get lost and distracted, and have to power through the noise.

I don't think this writing reflects Hitchens particularly well.

> Everything that distinguishes New Atheism from mere secularism...

If I remember Hitchen's line of reasoning about secularism, it was that governments absolutely need to be secular - not just for the freedom of atheists, but for the freedom to practice one's own religion freely - which he was not against. A religious government will only govern for its own religion.

> In fact, New Atheism was, at its root, not about religion at all. It was about science, and its original enemies were not fundamentalists of any faith but a group of atheist Marxist biologists.

> Turns out it was bog-standard neoconservatism all along!

in a 2010 BBC interview, [Hitchens] stated that he "still [thought] like a Marxist" and considered himself "a leftist".
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Hitchens]

> New Atheism came into its own during the Global War on Terror, when secular neoconservatives like Hitchens realized that the arguments being used against Anglo religious fundamentalism could be wielded very conveniently against Islamic radicalism. This offered a way to challenge the common antiwar framing of the US invasion of Iraq and other Bush-era military operations as a new Christian crusade against the Muslim world.

Hitchens being pro-invasion of Iraq did surprise me, but I listened anyway. He didn't tackle the "Bush knowingly lied about WMDs and used the unrelated September 11 attacks to go to war with Iraq for its oil" (which is all we heard in our echo chamber, right?). He said that Saddam was a tyrant to his own people, and was into genociding the Kurds, hence the need for regime change.

I believe he was also sympathetic to Palestine, saying that Israel wouldn't declare where their border actually was, so no meaningful peace talks could actually happen.
