I am in agreement. Mama needs time off. Dad needs time off, too, and that helps avoid discrimination against the women.
I just wanted to say, I really appreciate your tangent here. Space travel didn't come to my mind at all and your comment made me feel the tiny things contributing to larger stories, for a moment. Caught me weirdly off-guard.
That always chafed me about Scheme. I see the utility of `eq?` and `eqv?`, but I'd prefer that there were only `equal?` and functions were defined to get an object's "id" or "numeric equivalency class," or whatever, instead of having different flavors of data structures that differ only for certain values.
One factor (surprisingly I've seen this mentioned by a video game guy on youtube few years ago) is the disbelief made by non game visual art. Game boxes, booklets, they bootstraped the imagination. Handmade art was 100x more detailed than 8bit games yet we didn't care having a low res 8bit characters because we were already mentally in the world displayed on paper.

I do sincerly miss the limited rendering aspect of old titles. The limitations gave ways to a distinct style, and kept the game a game, in a strange world. It also provided you with some surprises.. how did they manage to pull off some effect on a tiny 8 or 16bit machine. Hardware of today removes that wonder. There's less contrast.

I'm not aware of any functionality in Chrome that allows Google to get tracking data that other ad providers can't, but it seems like regulators should target that instead of preventing Chrome from banning third-party cookies.
But under this scheme, you'd have to know the originating number of the company you're handing it out to, right? I certainly don't know my dentist's outgoing number - I might know their incoming number, but I don't know about outgoing. Same for anyone else I might give my number to.

And what happens if two people with the same "burner" number give it to the same business?
At what date do you take financial responsibility for the children? Because that sounds nuts to me as an expectation. There must be a happy medium between you and the GP, but maybe not - maybe that's why so many women will remain single mothers.
Is there an actual theory about the link between voice and dementia?
Is it surprising/crazy though? I feel like our entire capitalist mindset is to pillage everything you can stomach and to push your own boundaries because if you don't - someone else will and beat you with their profits.

It always feels like a morality race to the bottom. Clearly i'm a pessimist here, but it's obvious in my pessimistic mindset. Do you have a more positive outlook perhaps?
It "works" by forcing people to hide who they are.

It's like saying that you got rid of people with brown hair by making them dye it something else, only instead of hair color it's a fundamental part of who they are and it greatly increases the risk of PTSD and it only works if you're measuring the wrong thing and instead of basing it on the autistic person's ability to be okay it bases it on society's expectations and it's child abuse and just no.

When autistic people are speaking[1] out[2] en[3] masse[4] against[5] it[6], would you ignore what they say? When they say[7] it's[8] bad[9] and[10] unethical[11] and[12] abusive[13] do you say that it isn't?

When a woman goes to a police station saying that she is a victim of domestic violence, should the police say it works way better than the alternatives? Should they reject her statements that it is harmful and bad? If a child comes up to you and says that their parents are beating them and screaming at them if they do poorly in school, would you say that it works way better than the alternatives?

Or is it only okay when the person is autistic?

Anything that can impact operations is a risk and should be noted. Each risk should have the following severity assessments:

- Brand impact of risk: how will marketing and sales be affected?

- Business impact of risk: how much business will be lost? How much productivity will be lost? Will business transactions be lost?

- Customer impact of risk: will sensitive customer data be leaked? Will customer data be lost?

- Time to recover? How long would it take to get operations back to normal?

- How likely are people to die or be severely injured?

- Are your customers businesses instead of people? What are your SLAs?

Taken together, this informs you the severity of the risk.

Then there's the mitigation for each risk:

- Data backups & a data backup strategy

- Alternate hosting

- Alternate networking

- Secure communications and secure storage

- Alternate power sources

Your mitigation depends on the severity of the risk.

In your case, if your deployed solution is dependent on multiple SaaS providers, then a mitigation plan for your solution is comprised of the mitigation plan for all your SaaS providers. If you're not accounting for your 3rd party dependencies, then you're not properly presenting the risk. It's perfectly fine to have different mitigation plans for different components. If there's a SaaS component you're using and its failure means your application loses a capability that your business determines as having minor impacts and the customer could go without that capability for a couple days, then maybe your mitigation for that SaaS component is to do nothing. Another 3rd party component in that same application may need alternate hosting and data replication as its mitigation plan because its critical to the application and the application is critical to the business. Not even all the 3rd party components comprising your application may have the same mitigation strategy!

Galvanized steel has almost no protection against continuous contact with salt water. There aren't even any stainless steels that I know of that can handle it well (just varying levels of resistance). I would say if you absolutely need a metal, you'd need marine grade stainless as well as a strong protective coating that you need to repaint on a regular basis, or possibly aluminum (as long as it's not going to have impacts or stresses that could bend it repeatedly).

If it were me, and it really is low tech and not mission critical, I'd probably use wood, fiberglass, or PVC.
A good argument for restricting voting to actual attendees.
Agreed. I'm starting to replace axios with a simple fetch block that emits start/stop/error events.

Other libs listen to these events to, for example, show loading spinner on request.
So they did this study. No idea how or when but ok. The study found out that when you give people free money they spend more. These things are great in isolation running in parallel with the current system but they just don’t scale.
Sounds like it's time to create some free protest-software which "fixes" the issue by automatically filling the entire free-limit of space with random bytes.

I'll use all the space so that you don't spam me about not using enough of it, I'll constantly change the bytes so that you don't spam me for not using it frequently, and I'll periodically delete a bunch so that you don't spam me with unsolicited offers for upgrading to more space. This is what you wanted, right?"

XP->Vista alone brought a bunch of huge changes that massively improved security (UAC), capability (64 bit desktops), and future-proofing (UEFI) among many many other things.

Some helpful Wikipedia editors have answered this question in excessive detail, so I'm just going to link those for more info.

Obviously some of this will be "fluff" and that's up to your own personal definitions, but to act like there haven't been significant changes in every major revision is just nonsense.
isn’t Maestro an alternative to Airflow, not Temporal? Temporal isn’t a workflow orchestrator. There’s some overlap on the internals but they’re different designs for different use cases.

I see this comment often, but when I implemented SAML, the spec wasn't too unreadable... I did write my own IdP [0] instead of using something that existed though, since those were more complicated than I needed.

So maybe because I only implemented features I was using it wasn't bad. What did you struggle with?

Perhaps they never really did, and much of the claimed past desire to start families can be seen as an example of choice-supportive bias in an environment where birth control was harder to come by, with social norms discouraging use.
And this is what I prefer too, although with the clarification that its the number of ways that a system can be arranged without changing its macroscopic properties.

Its, unfortunately, not very compatible with Shannon's usage in any but the shallowest sense, which is why it stays firmly in the land of physics.
If you stretch the definition a bit, I still like the site as an example of a site that appeals to developers and isn't just marketing fluff.

Wow, your boss is a real dickhead.
Not in the sense of a normal chemical explosion, which is a reactive substance. Chernobyl was a steam overpressurization (or indeed steam explosion) event. Similar results but the nuance (and mis/disinformation surrounding) are what caused a lot of initial confusion. The engineers were taught that it was safe because "it can't explode because there's nothing to detonate".

> If you refer Canary deployment as the vendor's internal deployment? I definitely agree.

No, I’m talking about external deployment to customers. They clearly also had a massive failure in their internal processes too, since a bug this egregious should never make it to the release stage. But that is not what I am talking about right now.

> What I find it hard is those in Software that suggested to roll it to a few customers first because this isn't cloud deployment doing A/B test when it comes to Virus Definition.

I don’t care what you’re releasing to customers— application binary, configuration change, virus definition, etc, if it has the chance of doing this much damage it must be deployed in a controlled, phased way. You cannot 100% one-shot deploy any change that has the potential to boot-loop a massive amount of systems like this. This current process is unacceptable.

> Customers must know what's going on when it comes to virus definition and the implication of them whether they're being part of the rollout group or not.

Who says they don’t have to know? Telling your customers that an update is planned and giving them a time window for their update seems reasonable to me.

> In light of this study, it seems to me that a cash-support system that wants to encourage work should have a starting region with a negative effective phase-out rate: "for every $1 you make up to $X, you get $0.25 more from UBI/Welfare." That would encourage labour-market attachment even if tenuous, and it would also have a side benefit of making the worker want to report the income, possibly uncovering under-the-table payment schemes.

You do have a point there.

>My point was, why a display at a check in counter needs to run EDR software to begin with?

Because the thermostat on a fish tank has been used as a critical entry point into a casino network[1], and the point of EDR is not just to prevent that sort of thing if possible but also provide the telemetry into a SIEM for incident responders to know that it has happened after the fact and get the adversary out. So there is value in running it anywhere it can run.

I've seen a lot of contempt on HN threads today for compliance regulations and insurance demands that require things like EDR be installed where possible. As a Red Teamer I used to share that contempt for the non-technical types, but I don't now. It's true compliance is not security, but also true that Chesterton's Fence should apply here: just because you shouldn't be checking the box blindly doesn't mean you shouldn't be either checking it or documenting why not. The people who created the box were (probably) not actually idiots. It's there because somebody else had a very bad day.

This seems like a great resource for referencing the various definitions. I've tried my hand at developing an intuitive understanding: https://spacechimplives.substack.com/p/observers-and-entropy. TLDR - it's an artifact of the model we're using. In the thermodynamic definition, the energy accounted for in the terms of our model is information. The energy that's not is entropic energy. Hence why it's not "useable" energy, and the process isn't reversible.
> FPGAs are such amazing & interesting systems, but it's been a terrible decade of them getting nowhere.. best case possibility is that this NPU AI thing maybe breaths some life

Cut to sci-fi film as engineers in 4024 unearth a colossal landfill of 2024 AI "GPUs". They place one "GPU" into an additive fabrication device for automated scanning, interface construction, electrical and software analysis. Later, their AI announces that it has rewritten the "GPU" firmware, making the underlying hardware usable for general-purpose digital logic.
Seems like a strange way to express that point? Why mention underwhelming support for AI/ML if it’s the same on both? (if we’re talking about desktop chips I don’t even understand what’s that supposed to mean).
The "advantage" of deep-sea mining is that there are no neighbors to complain about the environmental effects of mining, and--since it's largely proposed in international waters--you get to choose whose environment regulations you follow.

The disadvantages are more numerous: the commercial viability of the extracted ore is extremely unclear; the seafloor is very poorly mapped, and with poor visibility, you could easily drive a seafloor rover into or over a cliff without seeing it; environmental effects are largely unknown [1]; the international authority meant to help guide these efforts has put a moratorium on it until these questions can be answered (which, given how long it's taking to answer them, has led many companies interesting in deep sea mining to advocate for ignoring it entirely).

[1] Although anyone who's had much of a thought about it would probably hazard that "insanely destructive" is the most likely outcome. Still an open question if deep sea mining is less or more destructive than our current mining techniques.
