Squats are one of the best exercises you can do for overall health anyway.

- Big muscle groups activated all at once

- Burns a lot of calories

- Strengthens a whole chain of muscles necessary for good posture

- If done right (deep squats) makes you more flexible

So do them even if you don't have pain and you'll be better off anyway

Homosexuals in a homophobic society (especially the more violent ones) might appreciate you not outing them. They would probably consider you the one doing evil for revealing their secret.

You really couldn’t think of things like that?

At a less extreme position, are you willing to post your name and SSN in your public profile so others can benefit from your openness while you are harmed?

Yeah, some things shouldn’t be secret. Some people hurt themselves and those around them with secrets. Asserting that all secrets are evil is just absurd though. Focus on helping them open up about what should be shared and help them understand why or that they are safe sharing with you. Don’t tell them they are committing an evil act by keeping secrets like some fire and brimstone preacher. Who wants to talk to that guy?
Some of this reads like rediscovering control theory, which is all about stability and robustness within defined limits.
It's more popularization than innovation.

The person who first translated this idea into math was James Clerk Maxwell, in his paper, "On Governors", in 1868.[1]
Maxwell was the first to get a mathematical handle on stability of feedback systems. He wrote: "If, by altering the
adjustments of the machine, its governing power is continually increased,
there is generally a lin1it at which the disturbance, instead of subsiding
more rapidly, becomes an oscillating and jerking motion, increasing in violence till it reaches the limit of action of the governor. This takes place when the possible part of one of the impossible roots becomes positive. ... I have pointed out that, under certain conditions, the sudden disturbances
of the machine do not act through the differential system on the governor,
or vice versa. When these conditions are fulfilled, the equations of motion are not only simple, but the motion itself is not liable to disturbances
depending on the mutual action of the machine and the governor." That, right there, is the beginning of the mathematics of antifragility. Today, we call this turning up the P term of a PID controller too high and getting outside the stable region. Maxwell was the first to formalize the role of delay and damping (he calls it "viscosity") in this.

There's "robust control", a useful theory of "antifragility" in industrial use for decades. Here's an excellent video on how this is done.[2] That's worth a watch. Note the emphasis on how the combination of delay and noise can cause instability in a system resistant to both delay and noise separately. This can be dealt with by moving the areas of instability around in the frequency domain.

(Modern control theory has become insanely complicated over the last few years. Until recent years, control theory was mostly linear control theory plus some self tuning.
Now, control theorists are trying to figure out how to get the benefits of machine learning while still having predictable error bounds. This means getting into the innards of what neural nets are really doing. I still get IEEE Trans. on Control Systems Technology,
but don't understand it any more. So I'm not sure how that's coming along.)

It's vastly faster than it was before (~5s compared to ~40s for the Plots package, and much less for most workflows) but it can never drop to 0, since it's compiling each function the first time you use it.

Reddit and Quora have seen 20%+ rise in web traffic. How are marketers using it?
I observed that Reddit and Quora have seen more than a 20% rise in website traffic since Google's November updates.

And now marketers are finding ways to hack these forums.

I think powershell is meant to be tab-completed, more than typed at 300wpm? I still prefer terse, though; pretty sure I can type `tar xvf` faster than I can tab-complete `tar --extract --verbose --file`.
Isn’t the whole geofence request paradigm an elegant compromise to address that, though? The requestors don’t get to track everyone’s every move. Instead, they have to specify exactly where and when based on a thing that actually happened, and the private corporation controlling all that location data decides whether or not the request is narrow enough to answer.

A mechanism like this allows them to realize the social benefits of that kind of a data trove existing, while providing some kind of a check on the way they use that data. However flimsy that check may be, it still seems really different from the government itself collecting and controlling all that data itself. And if anything, it takes the wind out of the argument that government properly should be the custodians of that kind of data: they can use it in the rare cases where they can describe a clear purpose, but they can’t just go frolicking through the movements of every person in their jurisdiction for funsies [0].

It won't alter this course, but given recent news I sure hope Biden can do one last kick to this stupid model. The biggest reason subscriptions do this is because so many forget to unsubscribe. An issue as old as fiat currency. discouraging recurring subscriptions could be the US's version of GDPR in terms of how utterly devastating it will be to companies.

Perl is really really bad. Bash is also really really bad. Perl is unreadable and bash is massively insecure unless you chant the magic incantations which even the pros forget.

At most you should learn Perl to learn now not to design a language and then you should learn bash to learn why such a large percentage of systems are vulnerable to various injections.

Even Apple had a bash error where they had an OS upgrade that deleted your hard drive if you had a space in the volume name which I'm making the assumption was a bash script because spaces in filename don't generally matter in any sane language.

Thanks for engaging. You're right in that the ideas are not new, but I feel the language and the framing somewhat is.

I'm not sure if you've come across N. N. Taleb's work -- he's the guy who coined the term "antifragility" = things things that benefit from perturbation. In it he argues that the antifragility is a property of systems that satisfy Jensen's inequality [1]. If the system's function f is convex, then:

E[f(X)] > f(E[X])

X is a random variable representing perturbations to the system, and f(.) is the system's response. If Jensen's inequality is satisfied (which is only true if f is convex), the inequality tells us that the average response to variable inputs (E[f(X)]) is greater than the response to the average input f(E[X]). This means that the system benefits more from variability in the input than it would from a constant, average input.

Antifragile systems, in that sense, are not conventionally "stable". Taleb describes a spectrum: Fragile -> Robust -> Antifragile

Stable systems often fall into the robust category -- they can withstand stress without breaking, but they don't necessarily improve from it.

It's a really subtle nuance.

An example from life: the young person who takes no risks, has a stable job, does well enough but isn't really interested in moving or taking on new opportunities. They'll never make it big. This is stability.

But the young person who starts a startup and keeps taking risks, iterating and pivoting. If they win, they win big. If they lose, they only lose a few years of their early life. This is antifragility, and it is actually a departure from stability.

There’s too much hubris in the “professional” web app bug hunter community.

Generally, their attitude is very “look at these stupid developers,” “developers suck at security,” or “a conspiracy is happening because company X didn’t take their app down within 10 minutes of getting my email.” It’s much more nuanced than that.

2) less ego and much more professionalism and patience from “researchers”

- oncall-level alerting for your security.txt inbox

- the service owners need to be empowered to treat security with the appropriate severity (taking the site down so quickly speaks highly to this)

> I'll go rather go back to paper than to just move every last bit of my companies data into the hands of a single company (looking at you, Microsoft).

To me, given he critical importance of a working CICD, it feels like Microsoft controlling both GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines poses a significant risk of having the proverbial rug pulled from under you. I don't expect Microsoft to invest on GitHub Actions enough to make them the clear winner in UX and cost, for example. Both Azure Pipelines and GitHub Actions are appallingly bad in UX, at least compared to GitLab CICD or even CircleCI or Travis, and I don't expect to turn that around due to their incentives to not make either one too competitive regarding the other in-house service. But that's just me.
Many things in gitlab, like their many project planning features & CI+CD, dont really have self hosted alternatives...
I think cops (or at least their bosses) care about their arrests resulting in successful prosecutions.

A request ambiguous enough to net hundreds of suspects seems unlikely to net the investigator a successful prosecution. Not without corroborating evidence, which might be the fruit of a thorough investigation.

But if the initial request leads to an investigation that develops enough evidence to prosecute somebody—that is, if the person really did do the bad thing, and this was one of the ways the government figured that out—what is it that’s so abhorrent about this technique that makes it right to overlook the bad deed?

If the status quo is throwing around nonsense like bite marks and sneaker prints to try and associate somebody with a crime scene, geofenced mobile data requests seem like a smaller rather than a bigger net compared to “everybody with teeth who I have a hunch about” or “everybody who owns Sketchers.”

I can self-host the community edition for free, and in addition to use it as a software forge and static websites hosting and deployment platform through GitLab Pages, I can use it to manage my users and have third-party services (like mattermost, hedgedoc pads, and other internally developped apps) for centralized login.

I really really hope that the buyer will keep the Community Edition alive, otherwise we'll have to move everything over to something else (I don't know what yet).

> word knowledge was intended by the game designers to be a part of the game

This is the most frustrating part of Scrabble to me. I consider my vocabulary to be pretty good. But frequently when I try to use an even slightly-esoteric word in scrabble, it turns out to not be in the official dictionary. And conversely, the official dictionary is full of words I've never heard or seen used by real people and often has some definition like "18th century slang for <word>". I then lose to people who know all these weird words (especially the very short ones, which they've memorized) and who admit they have never heard these words outside a scrabble context either.

In short, the English the players speak and the English defined by the official dictionary are different enough languages that it seems only useful as a way to learn "Scrabble English" and not modern English.

It will analyse what it is given, but it will not have the ability to say, "hang on, these results are interesting, I wonder what will happed if I pour a different liquid into the drum and spin it at the same speed?" LLMs, especially the latest ones, are decent at analysis of input, but disappointing at producing creative output. I am running a series of experiments using Gemini 1.5 and found it capable of producing good results if you stay away from "write me an academic paper on subject X" or "write me a novel". On the other hand, if you ask it to summarise text, extract particular information, it is fast and arguably good, but not necessarily great. It will miss things and miscategorise them requiring a human being to check its output. At this point, you may just as well do the job yourself. LLMs are still not very good, despite what their fans are saying. They are clever, as in a "clever trick" not as in a "clever human being".
> The pain of dealing with JSON in Go is one of the primary reasons I stick mostly with nodejs for my api servers.

Unless you're dealing with JSON input that has missing fields, or unexpected fields, there is no pain. Go can natively turn a JSON payload into a struct as long as the payload's fields recursively match the struct's fields!

If, in any language, you're consuming or generating JSON that doesn't match a specific predetermined structure, you're yolo'ing it and all bets are off. Go makes this particualr footgun hard to do, while JS, Python, etc makes it the default.

Default footguns are a bad idea, not a good idea.
