> The EU often imposes fines mere weeks or days after compliance deadlines pass, suggesting this kind of extraction is a feature, not a bug, of the regulatory regime.

This argument is strange to me. If a local road changes its speed limit and on the same day the new limit takes effect, I get pulled over for driving too fast, that seems expected?

I guess I could see the argument that the companies don’t have enough time to make the necessary changes to adhere to the law, but then you should be advocating for the law taking effect at a later date rather than regulators being slow to issue fines when they are in full effect.
GitHub sent you those 4 strings while you were logged in and they are now stored on your computer. GitHub will not send them to an attacker that is not already logged in.
Ehm, sorry no. OSes matter much as before because even if today giants want to call desktop and co "just endpoints" a politically correct variant of old dumb terminals of "their mainframes", actually we know very well that "the intelligence" must be in "endpoints" and no "mainframe alike" modern solution can scale or serve well in that regards. Of course we need networking, a network of individual hosts, not of dumb endpoints.

Devs have lost such knowledge because big tech have trained them to loose it and now we see more and more limits of their model. The new internet must be the very old one, a network of hosts communicating each others, without *NAT and alike in the middle explicitly done in most case to lock users hosts behind some giant iron curtain.

The modern web today matter because we lack UIs because commercial desktops have decided for widgets based UIs and have strongly hit their limits, finding in the modern web a crappy modern version of the old classic DocUIs and we know as well we need DocUIs. Slowly we start coming back to the end-users programming admitting that visual crap and all tentative to make programming hard on purpose led to unsustainable crapware ecosystems. Maybe in a decade spreadsheets and "calculators" will be finally dropped and Jupyter/R alike tools will have finally substituted them eventually with some LLM plugged in to help the dumb mean users. In another decade we probably will be back at LispM because try other paths to profit from users is not sustainable anymore.

The shortest this period will be the less damage we will suffer.
Another example is Low Density Parity Check Codes [1]. Discovered in 1962 by Robert Gallager but abandoned and forgotten about for decades due to being computationally impractical. It looks like there was a 38 year gap in the literature until rediscovered by David MacKay [2].

The first mainstream use was in 2003. It is now used in WiFi, Ethernet and 5G.

There aren't many useful applications. People who think otherwise are on par with delusional interviewers that feel compelled to ask problems with DP solutions. The vast majority of us will go our entire careers without needing to solve the Towers of Hanoi or the Egg Drop Puzzle.

The wireguard test suite that’s now in the kernel is an excellent way to experiment with using qemu to develop kernel modules and also do automated tests.

I’d link but cumbersome to find on phone.
I don't think metaprogramming is the key point here, though it doesn't help with this kind of issue.

That is, yesterday I spent the afternoon trying to follow a maze of signal observers in a Vue3 project. After a moment, not finding why the redirect to login page was nowhere to be found in the signal obsevers of the concerned transition, it finally reveled to be linked to a more broad route hook mechanism that the framework provides.

No meta programming is involved, be it in signal observers or route hook.

Regarding metaprogramming, Crystal keep only the parts that are straightfoward to deal with in static analysis, from what I grasped when skiming its elevator speech.

On Ruby side the great stuffs I like in it are more linked to the homogeneous approach it follows. Almost everything is an object and something like `42.extend(:custom•module).original•action` is possible due to that. It's not 100% pure object though, reserved keywords like `if` can not be used as objects, that is `if.class` is not valid.
I’m confused by this New Internet talk. Tailscale is nice and all, but it gives you virtual private networks. To talk to anything you need to first be invited to that private network. It’s more like the New LAN, great for intranet and shit. But how am I supposed to build Internet apps intended for everyone if they need to be invited to my network first?

Not to mention most Internet services do need a central backend to function even if there are no barriers among clients at all (because the clients are completely unreliable), including even the textbook p2p example of file transfer: while direct p2p is nice in many cases, with a central service the recipient can receive at any time, instead of having to coordinate with the sender to both stay online simultaneously and for the duration of the transfer, which is quite difficult nowadays with most of the computing happening on phones.
I read this during my university graduation ceremonies. It was hidden in a fold in my robes. It was the most fitting thing I could have done, as I immediately changed my life direction and focused on exactly the ideas outlined in this work. My goal: move the world from the command line. I've almost managed to.

Nice! I don't have any Schiit gear, but few months ago I started reading the founders book 'Schiit Happened'. I got halfway through (and then got distracted by other books, need to pick it back up), but can definitely recommend it for anyone interested in audio, and especially if you already have some Schiit!
Doesn't have to be. While storing them on your computer does not protect you from an adversary with access to your computer, it still protects you against an advrsaey e that intercepts (or guesses, maybe after a breach) your password.
In the first decade of this millennium, writing JS was a pretty frustrating, and JQuery papered over a lot of the nastiness.
How do you use uBlock to inject CSS?
You are missing that the TOTP secret will only be presented once during setup.

It is now a second factor because you need to prove possession of the secret by entering the current TOTP code during login.
It will not be presented again, so an attacker needs to have been able to intercept the initial secret exchange. (well or phish for it etc.)

You are usually prompted to enter the code during setup to ensure the secret has actually been put into some authenticator and is not immediately going to be lost.
How is it all funded by debt? OP says the IRS collected $4.7T in taxes. So the military budget is 17% of the collected taxes, and the aide to Israel/Ukraine is <2% of all the collected taxes.

Why does debt matter?
>> Small, medium size farmers are disappearing fast, they quit or at best being absorbed by large farmcorps.

> So making agricultural markets orders of magnitudes more efficient is destroying it in your view?

Yes, of course it is.

It's like replacing families by hell called a "System" - wet dream of the eg. leftists.

It literaly destroy "market" becouse producers side disappear and you have just institution :)

It destroys it becouse no one know how or want to do that hard agriculture business. People will just prefer to sit in slums around big cities. What they can do anyway if everything is not big but giant ? How to buy such area ? How to even learn what to do with it ?? How to acquire buyers if you even get that giant area LOL ? And if it to big for one man or family how to get enough workers (why they even wanted to live slums ? how they even learn what to do??) ??

That giant and efficient (in one dimension) thing just extend himself into lack of self-sufficiency on multigeneration time scale.

Monoculture becose it's cheaper ? :>

Product quality ??? Compare to XO brandy, champagne or artisanal leather wallets. Not to boxed milk with "not yet discovered" PFASes or future "improvements".

Food security in case of war or invasion ? Or mass drone invasion ? Without small and medium agriculture you have nowhere to run. And why to even run - do one giant owner will take multiple ex-bigcity refugees to his home (and feed them few months) or just hire security to shot them or scary of his land ?

And even if giant owner want to help he can't. Becouse hi is only one. Compare to many small/farms - they are somehow just "human" and humanity sized...

Don Corleone was planting tomatoes at the end ;)

I met few peoples that when stopped to be young just moved to province and started peacefull living of the land. Giant farms are a no go for that purposes.

And yes, eg. China builds piggeries and cowsheds town-sized now. Now imagine one case of some-flue in that "town" - best case... And suddenly millions have prices hike or are starving. Or Africa countries get very cheap but toxic meat. Or animal food. Eg. with prions included...

And all of that are just real world facts and "technicals". Now add greeeeed by "lawful" owners. Tell me - is that hypothetical ? \s You easily can write long replay or tree of them just on that subject :>

Corect way is to not build hell on earth in the first place.
When that happens, I’ll start to care (because I’ll have to).

Until now, please, friend, this isn’t something you need to lose sleep over. Assuming I’m not talking to the CEO of Unilever.
> ... as they also gave me my personal information to prove they are real and it was accurate and kept saying look we aren’t asking you for information we are telling you yours so you see we are Google Security!

Yeah, anytime someone gives me information about me, to prove who they are, is instantly suspect. Same goes for not yet authenticated caller (caller id doesn't count) asking for my details so that they get a proof of who I am. Not going to give extra info to an unknown person, sorry.

I train myself on legit calls to not fall for this, despite some inconvenience.

My hope is that in the future, when the real scummer call will eventually come, I'll be less likely to fall for social engineering tricks, and psychological pressure.

That’s like saying if my house is protected by a passcode lock, the cops can just break down my door and walk in. Sure, they can, but there are clear rules of when they can enter and search my property without my consent. So, sure, they can enter my phone, but that doesn’t mean they have the right to in the first place.

In discussions like this, I like to bring up Heather McKay.

Could you elaborate on that?
To be (re)read together with the Unix Haters Handbook https://web.mit.edu/~simsong/www/ugh.pdf to realize that what we need is re-made LispM, Smalltalk workstations or the OS as a single application, framework opened down to the most low level part, in the user hands, fully end-user programmable, discoverable, and fully integrated. A 2D and even 3D/4D CLI as the UI, witch is the DocUIs with eventual 3D and video/multimedia elements.

Not gonna tell you how to live your life.

However, as a general rule for others who may find themselves in similar situations. I’d advise that if one is already on the IRS radar in this fashion, s/he probably ought to refrain from posting on law enforcement accessible websites about the ways you’re getting over on the IRS. Restrain the proclivity we’ve all developed in the age of social media towards a ‘look at me’ mentality.
Kinda? It works great in practice. You can run your own controllers if you want which completely disconnects you from the proprietary service. But the code is BSL.
Just to add that these deadlines are typically given years in advance, to give companies a chance to prepare and comply.
> I've never truly believed in global warming.

There are people that believe the world is flat, there are people that struggle with heat equations.

> that still takes up an insignificant amount of the planet as a whole.

The space taken up by humans and their factories is irrevelant to AGW, what matters is the relative increase in insulating gases in the atmosphere. Not comparing CO2 in ppm to the entire atmosphere, Nitrogen and Oxygen don't insulate, but the amount by which humans have increased the insulation, trapping more heat energy (which cascades into other energy types).

If you're numerate you might like to start with something basic like Syukuro Manabe's 1967 Thermal Equilibrium of the Atmosphere with a Given Distribution of Relative Humidity

https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/atsc/24/3/1520-04...

> I believe that large cities in the US and worldwide have warmed for one very particular reason: asphalt.

By your own earlier claim "takes up an insignificant amount of the planet" let's just ignore that as that area is (according to you) insignificant and focus on the rise in average tempreture across the globe. That has increased.

Of course some climate denier claimed decades ago that the mean hadn't risen and it was all due to using measurements from urban heat islands (as you are apparently attempting to do). That was famouly looked into by a highly qualified physicist who was keen to prove them correct. The conclusion reached was urban heat islands had no effect on the global mean measurement and we weren't being fooled by asphalt. This is old news.

> I firmly believe climate change happens constantly

It does. On long time scales.

We are talking about rapid change on a "short" time scale (longer than a single human life, much much shorter than normal climatic scales of change).

> Again, these are my opinions just based on life experience.

What life experience is that?

Have you ever written a global scale geophysical "spreadsheet" type computational engine (like, for example, ERMapper, various ERDAS plugins, other geospatial differential modelling systems, etc).

Have you ever worked in the field gathering thousands or millions of line kilometers of data, ground truthed satellite readings, etc?
In 2023 the US had a deficit of $1.7T which we borrowed to cover by issuing Treasury bonds.

You could debate which part of the $6.4T was funded by debt, but it seems reasonable to say that foreign aid is not a mandatory expenditure. That also doesn't mean it's not worth borrowing for.

There is a helluva lot of fat to cut in the budget. Ukraine aid should not be the first port of call.

Things like this always make me wonder. Same thing for saunas that are usually one or two days per week girls only.

Who is a woman in this context? Can I wear girly clothes and be a woman? I can't hide at the sauna but if I "feel woman"? And how is that not going to annoy other woman?

In a world where everyone can be whoever they are things like this seem totally out of place
Because IPv6 is mistake. Thats why market does NOT want it. Unfortunately, we all start to feel the heat of IPv4 exhaustion.

Anyway, remember IPv4 classes? Then they made it classless. IPv6 is not 128bit, its just 64bit with 64bit host address. So, first mistake. IPsec mandatory? pure stupidity. Crypto moves fast, every 10 years many protocols are obsoleted. How you will provide E2E connectivity with that?

In 1997 IPv6 was seriously immature yet to start migration. Additionaly, it was very different from IPv4 so was mostly ignored. What IPng team should do, is just take IPv4, extended it to 64bit, call it IPv6 and we are done. As bonus, they should think about some basic IPv6 -> IPv4 interop so clients would NOT need to be dual stack. And that could work back then. Now we are fucked.
The command line is still king.

Whenever I see new coders struggle, it usually is because they:

- Don't know the context of what they are executing

- Don't know about the concept of input and output

On the command line, the context is obvious. You are in the context. The working dir, the environment, everything is the same for you as it is for the thing you execute via ./mything.py.

Input and output are also obvious. Input is what you type, output is what you see. Using pipes to redirect it comes naturally.

Not being natively connected to context, input and output is often at the core of problems I see even senior programmers struggle with.
Yeah, how does the proposed solution solve the problem as stated: "Print the number of bytes whose value equals 127 in a 250MB stream of bytes uniformly sampled from [0, 255] sent to standard input."

I had a cop search my car once and he “found” drug paraphernalia. I don’t do any drugs, ever in my life. I’ve seen what it does to people from a young age and I had never seen that paraphernalia ever before in my life; also, this car was brand new and I had only driven it less than two miles from the dealership. My only crime was speeding on an empty road in a brand new car, but this cop taught me they are all crooked fucks.

So, there’s probably missing information here, but I also believe it at face value.
Are you okay with grinding leetcode and doing multiple rounds with leetcode hard puzzles as opposed to a simple take home assignment that can be done with help from AI assistants?
I think what the pandemic showed was that you can "follow the science" and do whatever you want, because when scientists disagree you pick the one who says what you want. The same for lots of things - UK drug policy (which involved things like firing a scientific advisor for giving the wrong advice), what to do about global warming, etc.

The whole idea of science as handed down by authority also helps people like creationists and conspiracy theorists because if its just a matter of authority then you can choose a different authority.

Strongly typed languages have a higher barrier of entry and require an engineering mindset. That's anecdotal but if I think of exceptionally competent people I've worked with on JS projects, all of them have spent time building and advocated for properly typed code bases.

The other camp "just hates it" because it "slows them down", as it seems they spend most of their time fighting the types but never get to the point where you get that huge return on investment.

Honestly? I think the difference here is that Bill O'Reilly saying a bunch of BS on his TV show is pretty starkly different from the "paper of record" and the sitting President telling voters that "if this other guy wins the election democracy ends". You can see the difference in authority of voice here, right? That's a rhetorical framing that justifies a lot of extreme action. Arguably, it justifies preventing Trump from assuming office if he wins again in November. Is this what people really believe? I don't think so, because if it was people in government would've celebrated the assassination attempt.

On the contrary, he points that one of their most important innovations is not that innovative, because it was analyzed in detail almost 30 years ago.

Before AMD, Intel had started to use such multiple decoders in their Atom cores, now rebranded as E-cores (efficient cores). The multiple decoders have been first used in Tremont (2020), then in Gracemont (2021) and Crestmont (2023), and now in Skymont (2024).

It is hard to predict which of the decoders of Skymont (triple 3-instruction decoder) or of Zen 5 (double 4-instruction decoder) is better. AMD has made the choice of the double decoder because their core uses SMT, and a double decoder is easy to be partitioned into two decoders when both simultaneous threads are active.
