Honestly learning to cook, and buying bulk goods is the way to go. During the pandemic I started buying 25-50 lb bags of flour, rice, beans, field corn (with a 1lb of calcium hydroxide to make masa harina), peanuts, raisins, rolled oats and seeds for sprouting, etc. I rotate through it cooking up meals from scratch. Learning how to make tempeh, miso and tofu from soy beans means that I can make tons of dishes that I would have normally would have spent 10x more for in a restaurant or prepackaged meals. I still go to the store, but mostly for fresh vegetables that I haven't figure out how to grow (I live in the city).

Azure Standards is a good source of organic bulk goods.

This was where I immediately started thinking. Is this something that cyclical? The article is long on effect and very short on causes.

"Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, nutrient runoff and organic carbon inputs (for example, raw sewage loading) would slow or potentially reverse deoxygenation," they write.

And what exactly is "raw sewage loading" they talk about as a way to reverse this? I did some quick googling and couldn't find anything about what exactly it is.
> I think its important to understand that you're never found innocent; only not guilty.

You are innocent by default. You can't be found innocent. Being not guilty brings you back to the default state of being innocent.

I'm deeply worried about your reading comprehension.
Where do you dream this stuff up? What continues to be asked is of what relevance the topic of breeding is to the subject at hand. Nobody is surprised that selective breeding is a thing, denies that it happens, or pretends that it hasn't shaped the animals. What nobody seems to want to answer is why it was brought to the discussion, especially when it was already, and explicitly, established that the exact mechanism for the animal's behaviour is irrelevant to said discussion.

No doubt it was posted for good reason, but so far nobody has been able to figure out what that reason is. To the rest of us laymen, an environmental factor is an environmental factor is an environmental factor. What makes breeding so different that it justifies violating the discussion that was taking place?

"the feeling of falling" -- That's called weightlessness, free-fall, and zero-gee. Being in interplanetary space, being in earth orbit, being in the parabolic Vomit Comet, being in a drop tower capsule, being in an elevator compartment falling down a shaft, stepping off a diving board, there's no difference in the 'feeling'.

It seems fairly straightforward to claim that significantly changing water chemistry is very bad, or at least very risky, for aquatic ecosystems many of whose species are very sensitive to water chemistry.

The "positive" here is supposed to be that widespread destruction of land ecosystems might be even more severe if not for the oceans also taking some of the damage? (I doubt that is true in the long run. Many global processes are dependent on functioning living oceans.)
The point is to vilify and “other” people with less money to distract from the reality of the situation: class warfare.

Before investing in doomsday buckets, people should make sure they're already rotating shorter-shelf-life food that they normally eat, and have a comfortable buffer of that.

For distinct prepper food stores that are different from your daily, you also need to make sure you know how to prepare it, that it was preserved OK (wrt bacteria, mold, bug eggs, etc.), that you're storing it OK (rats/mice/bugs can't get into it, wasn't stored near gas cans, not going to be flooded nor have gotten too hot, etc.), that you have everything you need to prepare it under different likely scenarios (e.g., outages of water, electricity, natgas), can prepare it safely (e.g., no flames indoors that could start a fire when emergency services might already be overextended, no generator exhaust getting indoors), that everyone in the household can eat it without immediate health problems, etc.

If I had kids, I'd try a fun camping-at-home weekend, when we pretend we can't use the faucets or power grid, and we have to figure out how to do things in practice. And then do a bit of subtle retrospective, so that the next time goes smoother, but as fun/interesting, without stressing the kids or overemphasizing it. Then, when there's a hurricane or whatever, it's just camping-at-home, going smoother due to prior experience and preparedness, and we can learn related practices by example, like checking on neighbors to make sure they're OK and have the essentials.

Show HN: An end-to-end type safe JavaScript client for the GitHub v4 GraphQL API
I found the officially recommended GraphQL client for the GitHub v4 API to be difficult to work with, so I created my own using genql and am releasing it as a standalone package.

It is end-to-end type safe so you get functional intellisense and linting for both the input GraphQL query format as well as response data. It has zero dependencies and no requirement for any type generation process in your project. It has a relatively large bundle size, but that is due to the fact that it comes with types for the complete API. The client code itself is less than 300kb.
because the underlying os they provide allows kernel access. if they had windows fence of the kernel and maybe provide a security api ? then this whole thing wouldn't be an issue

I'm not sure what to make of this but I'm noting something odd this morning: coverage of this event out of the UK near-unanimously is laying this outage on Microsoft. BBC ran a story this morning that didn't mention Crowdstrike until the 4th paragraph, and headline after headline is repeating the message that Microsoft caused a global outage.

Reporting from the US and elsewhere seems to be a bit more on point. Is it just because the Brits went to press earlier in the day before the problem was understood?
Interesting to hide behind the defense you’re just stating facts while being so imprecise about everything else you’re saying.

Some vague, associative geographic vibes you experience are totally irrelevant to the detailed discussion of what various alcohols are called across (present day) countries.

And gp didn’t mention “Russians” in some vague accusatory sense, they clearly said “Russia” marched. A historical fact as it turns out. And the comparison was also precise: Russia’s pretense to march involved a wishful assertion of how many self-identified “Russians” inhabited the area.
It's only a game if people play. Disliking both works fine.
Assuming they can PWM the brightness while getting consistent color (seems reasonable since microLEDs have extremely fast response time) then I think what you're saying would work great. It would be akin to 4:2:2 chroma subsampling where luminance (which we have higher acuity for) gets more fidelity and the resulting image quality is closer to full-res than half-res.
And they all invariably use Windows instead of a high-reliability OS.

Most of the jail and prison systems I know have technical checks in place for Google voice and other VOIP systems to avoid you getting around their charges. They will ban the numbers and then often ban you from the phone system and sometimes put you in the Hole for games like that.

I used to use them to try to call the UK instead of paying multiple dollars a minute when my mother was dying of cancer. But it's a game of cat-and-mouse. And if you're in a place that makes you wait 4-8 weeks to get a number added to your call list, then you can't afford your number to get banned.

Every day I help multiple guys inside do "3-way" calls from prison to numbers that aren't approved onto their lists yet. It's a dangerous game, though, as the calls are often detected and blocked.

The politics isn't all that different, but the small variances make an enormous difference.

The US has a number of factors that give Trump's faction a substantial leg up. He has never won the popular vote. There is a very good chance that he will win this November the same way.

Republicans have one a grand total of 1 popular vote this century, and yet have won half of the elections. More than half, until recently, and likely to be more than half again.

The US Supreme Court has also been captured for coming decades by Trump's party. Those are lifetime appointments -- and their decisions guide who will replace them.

Culturally, Americans are not radically different from Canadians. Perhaps a tinge to the left. But American politics is very tipped to the right.

American left-wingers may not in fact find Canada any better for them. As you say, it's certainly not a left-winger utopia. But the US has become extremely ugly, and it's hard to choke down that ugliness when you know the power structures are tipped against you, and show every sign of becoming monotonically more so.
From what I heard Crowdstrike just updated their DB file, which means the bug was alreadyq there, waiting for someone to trigger it with a "low risk" quick roll out.

From conversations with folks who work in DC as senate & house aides - a phenomenon of the modern Republican party is that many GOP members of the house & senate have reasonable opinions on things and can agree on a reasonable policy right up until Fox News has an opinion about it, and then their opinion is Fox's opinion.

If Trump gets elected and decides the FCC's regulatory powers are bad, I promise you it will not matter how many republican senators or house reps voted for this before. I cannot think of a single incident in the last 8 years where a member of that party showed the slightest bit of ideological consistency, save McCain, who's dead, and maybe Romney, who's no longer a senator.
I am not saying you can use the exact same math as in an image manipulation program, these work with different assumptions. Mixing colors in those is usually not correct anyway.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKnqECcg6Gw

I am saying you can think of subpixels, which already exist, as a form of dithering. Most displays use just three primaries for subpixels - red, green and blue. Their arrangement is fixed, but that is not a limitation of this new technology.

Maybe I am in the minority, but it always puzzled me that anybody in IT would think a mega-priviledged piece of software that looks into all files was a good idea.

If there is any place that historically was exploited more than all other things it was broken parsers. Congratulations if such an exploited file is now read by your AV-software it now sits now at a position where it is allowed (expected) to read all files and it would not surprise me if it could write them as well.

And you just doubled the number of places in which things can go wrong. Your system/software that reads a PNG image might do everything right, but do you know how well your AV-software parses PNGs?

This is just an example, but the question we really should ask ourselves is: why do we have systems where we expect malicous files to just show up in random places? The problem with IT security is not that people don't use AV software, it is that they run systems that are so broken by design that they are sprinkled on top.

This is like installing a sprinkler system in a house full of gasoline. Imagine gasoline everywhere including in some of the water piping — in the best case your sprinkler system reacts in time and kills the fire, in the worst case it sprays a combustive mix into it.

The solution is of course not to build houses filled with gasoline. Meanwhile AV-world wants to sell you ever more elaborate, AI-driven sprinkler systems. They are not the ones profiting from secure systems, just saying..

Engineers can be lazy and greedy, too. But at least they should better understand the risks of cutting corners.

> Have professional integrity, tests is not optional or something that can be cut, it's part of SWE. Gradual rollout, feature-toggles, fall-backs/watchdogs etc. basic tools everyone should know.

In my career, my solution for this has been to just include doing things "the right way" as part of the estimate, and not give management the option to select a "cutting corners" option. The "cutting corners" option not only adds more risk, but rarely saves time anyway when you inevitably have to manually roll things back or do it over.

There's no societal benefit in retribution, and the evidence is entirely against the use of inhumane prison conditions as an effective means of deterrence.

Personally I'd find it more moral to subject people supporting these kinds of conditions to them than to subject anyone else to them, because I find the notion of supporting this level of harm to others to be no more moral if you vote for it than if you commit a violent crime.
I wonder if it might starting being a common turn of phrase. "Crowdstrike that directory", etc.

I used to be a Windows Engineer in webhosting (RAX, Hostgator, 2-3 others) I assume before this software existed and I had to hand-craft an insane amount of security services in posh and python. When I first got into Windows syseng stuff, I think IIS5 so win2k IIRC, IIS didn't have something as simple as URL Rewrite abilities. You had to buy a 3rd party package for EACH server at $25 or write one, I had thousands of servers. Zero thought about people actually using IIS for webhosting. I had to make my own brute force detection service that continuously monitored eventviewer for an RDP permission denied error code, then write that IP to the windows firewall. All this stuff is an apt-get away in lunix. Windows Server is so shockingly barebones and to be quite frank most Windows syseng people aren't the best engineers and wouldn't think to make almost any of this. On many of my teams I was the only one who could program.

We'd put servers up without a firewall and post their IPs on irc and see how long it took someone to pop one, if they didn't get popped before we got back to our NOC.

In my org, none of the essential systems went down (those used by labor). However all of management's individual PCs went down which got me wondering...
