Dark mode is not as good for your eyes as you believe (wired.com)

I think this misses important aspects. One does not often want to render HTML in place of a user name on a website as HTML, for example.
I use dark mode on my IDEs partially to feel cool. I also use max blue-light mod like Mac's Night Shift on everything. Helps the eyes. Then again, some things I expect to NOT be dark mode.
Markdown sources can contain HTML, which most parsers will gladly spit back out unescaped unless it's wrapped in a code block.

I would much rather trust a sanitizer library written by someone who knows about security, than trust a Markdown parser that was never intended for that kind of role. I've built apps that ingest Markdown, and I always pipe the parser's output to a proper sanitizer.

In the context of this particular finding, the source [0] defines literacy as

> [..] as a lack of proficiency on the PIAAC, an internationally validated literacy exam. Adults who score below Level 3 for literacy are not considered proficient and are defined as at least partially illiterate in this study. Adults below or at Level-1 literacy may struggle to understand texts beyond filling out basic forms. Drawing inferences or combining multiple sources of texts is likely too difficult. Adults at Level 2 can read well enough to evaluate product reviews and perform other tasks that require comparisons and simple inferences, but they are unlikely to correctly evaluate the reliability of texts or draw sophisticated inferences. Adults at Level 3 and above are considered fully literate in this study. They can reliably evaluate sources, as well as infer sophisticated meaning and complex ideas from written sources.

In other words, it seems like the headline has been sensationalised; if half of the US has a level 3 literacy, I'd say they're not doing too bad at all.

Not clear why Docker and "make" should be involved, except that he likes them. Cargo and git can do the job. A build usually produces a single executable, so "packaging" isn't that much of an issue.

There's much that could be said on this subject. How much should be made visible via "mod.rs" and "lib.rs" files? How much lock granularity is appropriate? Should projects be composed of loosely coupled crates? How much should be global? Anything?
How do you deal with the problem that if A owns B, B can't reference A?
How do you deal with breaking changes to low-level public crates?

> What the Bay Area has seen is nothing like actual hurricanes.

In terms of wind speed, quite similar. A category 1 hurricane is only 74-95mph winds. This is pretty mild, as far as storms go. I've been through many, many category 1 hurricanes and it's not much of a storm. Things only start getting scary around category 3.

I have several friends who live high in the hills in the Santa Cruz mountains and they regularly see wind speeds in the range of cat 1 hurricanes.
> they wanted the election process to be interrupted, which would (according to their reading) have allowed Pence to count the fake electors they provided. That's the insurrection.

I'm trying to understand, you are saying that the military would have showed up and forced Pence to overturn the election? Or what did I miss?

I'm saying even if the protesters would have taken the building, the national guard takes it back immediately, and the electors get certified the next day in another building. In this scenario the national guard is not joining in on the effort in any way. It would just delay it.

I could see how it could be a real threat to the election if there was proof of a large coordinated effort with firearms, by which I mean people conspired to actually takeover the building and launched a plan to do it, as oppose to a large mob with bad actors.

From the article:

> Mobile devices, including phones, smartwatches and fitness trackers, constantly transmit signals, known as Bluetooth beacons, at the rate of roughly 500 beacons per minute. These beacons enable features like Apple’s “Find My”--a tracking service to find a lost device as well as COVID-19 tracing apps; and connect smartphones to other devices such as wireless earphones.

> The current approach taken by smartphone companies to make the devices hard to track by their Bluetooth signals is to randomly change the phone’s identity, its MAC address. However, that doesn’t address the physical-layer fingerprints inherent in each device’s transmissions due to unique hardware imperfections.

> All wireless devices have small manufacturing imperfections in the hardware used to emit these beacons that are unique to each device. These fingerprints are an accidental byproduct of the manufacturing process. These imperfections in Bluetooth hardware result in unique distortions, which can be used as a fingerprint to track a specific device.
Classroom level is only one aspect of it though; literacy is learned through exposure and various levels. Another commenter mentioned social media, which is probably a factor too. Low effort high volume comments, indifference to proper spelling ("bcuz u can understand me"), more video / image based than text based, different reading habits. Education is part of it too, in theory we were supposed to read X books per year and write a report on them (in practice, even back then we downloaded and slightly edited the reports from the internets).
That is true only for simple systems that don't change often and that have a single view of the data.

For most real world use cases your approach is break even at best, and often way worse.
If you want to avoid XSS attacks, have you tried a CSP header? I know it is more of an output validation, as you restrict what can happen with external scripts.

You can only fit so many characters in your exploit, often due to max field lengths, unless you can load some external script.
Disabling loading unknown external scripts with CSP significantly reduces possible attacks, including XSS attacks, because you simply don't have the space.

What kind of spelling errors?

I had a classmate in high-school who always got liw marks in the language classes due to spelling errors.

I worked with him on a group project once, and had to correct tons of words which were jumbled up. But apart from that his wprk was very good.

Was years later until I realized he must have had dyslexia.

So yea, that's one way "poor writing skill" might not be an indicator for anything else.

I've leaned into it: all application state is on ephemeral storage and its constantly replicated "off-site" to a NAS running minio.

To accomplish this, I have restricted myself to SQLite as storage and use Litestream for replication. On start, Litestream reconstructs the last known state before the application starts. [Source](https://github.com/LukasKnuth/homeserver/blob/912cbc0111e44d...)

The article is indeed hard to understand on its own.

From the linked 2022 paper:
BLE sends beacons hundred times per minute, even from phones. For privacy reasons the Mac addresses are randomized.
The attacker can further analyze the beacons for imperfections in the rf signal and get a fingerprint for devices from frequency offsets/drift/iq imbalance.

Haven't seen the new paper, but the article suggests the a firmware change can even reduce this attack vector. I guess that introducing further randomization in chipset parameters for each beacon can make this kind of tracking harder still. I doubt that this hides all aspects of fingerprinting and settings stepsizes would still be observable, just harder to track. "Randomization pattern F is this manufacturer gen 2025 devices"

My take on this: most of the day, I would not need any beacons at all - maybe there is an intelligent limit on avoiding them? Configurable? Only when unlocked? Only when in motion?
Sometimes sending half the beacons would double the time needed for tracking already. Again, this would boil down to "a firmware update could improve privacy"
Very cool! I'm actually mostly interested in the Import + Export functionality. Would be great to have that as a library without the gui part.

That map of "low literacy" looks like a map of where large volumes of blue collar immigrants live. At a minimum, the presentation seems misleading. It is like noting that a disturbing number of people who own cowboy boots live in Texas. Probably true, but it doesn't imply anything important.

> Some of these high county-level percentages stem from high populations of immigrants, whose first language is not English. The PIAAC only assesses English literacy, though its background questionnaire is given in English and Spanish.

If you look at the map (and read the article), it's fairly obvious that they are NOT adjusting for non-English first language speakers. This is partly on purpose since it's those demographics that need the most assistance and funding to learn English. However, it's really disappointing that this data is used to make statements and titles regarding people's "literacy" or reading comprehension when it's specifically testing a single language.
> I'm trying to understand, you are saying that the military would have showed up and forced Pence to overturn the election? Or what did I miss?

No, where did you come up with the military? Trump wanted to force Pence to overturn the election. He manufactured a scenario in which their reading of the constitution would allow Pence to choose which electors to count. Where does the military come into play?

> I'm saying even if the protesters would have taken the building, the national guard takes it back immediately, and the electors get certified the next day in another building. In this scenario the national guard is not joining in on the effort in any way. It would just delay it.

And the republicans specifically counted on this happening, as it would give Pence plausible cause to count fake electors. The delay is an essential part of the insurrection.

The terrorists storming the Capitol did their job. They only had to delay the counting. The rest of the attempted insurrection was done by the sitting president and their party. I don't know how to be more clear than this. If you only look at the actions of the terrorists, and ignore the actions of the politicians, of course the whole thing looks like a hap-hazard attempt at taking over power - you're literally ignoring the most important parts!

> I could see how it could be a real threat to the election if there was proof of a large coordinated effort with firearms, by which I mean people conspired to actually takeover the building and launched a plan to do it, as oppose to a large mob with bad actors.

How is that a real threat to the election, while the sitting president attempting to force their vice president to count fake electors is not?

As a relatively young person I think openLDAP is ultimately not that hard to use, it just feels very foreign to the modern user.

And that has mostly to do with a lack of good documentation and syntax/system choices that have been made in times where some best practises might not have existed yet.

I must say googling any LDAP issue sucked majorly. But once you get the basic hang of how to do X it is somewhat consistent.

In the US how many sixth graders read at a sixth grade level though?

How does this compare to Finland which has essentially the same humans but a significantly higher literacy level all round (in multiple languages)?

As a world traveller my past impressions of the US was that mean education levels, the man on the Clapham omnibus conversations, weren't as high as other G20 countries.

That was a suprising observation an it's something that could be improved if people cared enough to change policies .. something that seems difficult in the US that appears to view social policy (health, education, work safety, etc.) as akin to satanic communism in some quarters.

A public utility is a natural monopoly. If given lack of regulation (or, wrong/weak regulation) it will of course seek to maximize profit at all cost, which means very little is spent on grid quality and maintenance (these things eat into profits, thus bad).

Andrei Alexandrescu's design notes. He approached it from his prior experience with C++.

https://www.informit.com/articles/printerfriendly/1407357
Yeah, I was surprised to see the architecture diagram is so complex. It's been a while since I saw a design that wasn't just "stack more transformer layers".
AVX-512 has evolved from the Larrabee New Instructions (2009), passing through Knights Ferry (2010), Knights Corner (2012) and Knights Landing (2016), to reach Skylake Server (2017), whose set of AVX-512 instructions has remained a subset of the instruction sets of all later CPUs with AVX-512 support.

At each step from Larrabee to Skylake Server, some instructions have been lost, because the initial set of instructions was more complete in order to enable the writing of efficient GPU algorithms, while later Intel believed that for a general-purpose CPU they can reduce the costs by omitting some of those instructions.

(Nevertheless, later they have added many other instructions, some of which may be less useful and more expensive than the original instructions that have been removed.)

Among the original Larrabee instructions that have been deleted, was addition with unsigned overflow (a.k.a. carry), where the output overflow flags were stored in a mask register, enabling their use in a later conditional SIMD instruction.

Signed overflow can be implemented in hardware with negligible additional complexity (a single gate per each result number), so it would have been easy to also add to Larrabee/AVX-512 an addition instruction with signed overflow flags stored in a mask register. Even when only unsigned overflow is available, it is possible to preprocess the operands in such a way that detecting signed overflow would be possible with the unsigned overflow bits, though that requires multiple instructions, slowing down a lot the algorithm.

However in this problem the numbers that are added are non-negative, so the addition with unsigned overflow of the original Larrabee ISA would have been sufficient, had Intel not removed it from AVX-512.
Yes, claiming "Anonymous" can form the same lie as any other lie towards the end of public support. But it kinda also means that the concept of "Anonymous", the 'amorphous mass', still exists to be lied with. And in a way, it can't be killed (or usurped) since nothing¹ can prevent new amorphous blobs of people to congeal elsewhere, becoming a new "Anonymous".

¹ well, except maybe mind control, or a truly orwellian control of language to eradicate ideas.
Public service broadcasting is pretty nice too.

I'm astonished at this POV. When I read that more than half of the country is "unlikely to correctly evaluate the reliability of texts," I see this as evidence that we are indeed doing "too bad."

How does dark mode waste time and resources?
It technically can save resources.
It’s a study done by the US Dept of Education. I don’t think it’s bad or even unusual that it tests English (and some Spanish) only. The implication is it is testing useful literacy in the US. After all, being literate in Tagalog isn’t a useful thing in the US, so why call someone who is literate in Tagalog only literate for the US?
