Yes, and what happens when the company paying your pension goes bankrupt? You're up sht creek.

At least 401ks let you diversify across the entire stock market, much less risk of every company in the US (or world) going bankrupt simultaneously.

> So that of course leads to growth and demographics problems to keep the system working.

Let me tell you a secret: even in a communist country demographics still matter. If you have just 1 healthy adult caring for 4 aging grandparents, that's going to be tough in communism or capitalism. Money is just an abstraction, what matters is resources, which young healthy people are.

Can confirm, NYPD has these as well. Between this and the ghost cars they drive, the illegal parking, flouting traffic laws, use of their law enforcement function as a political cudgel to be deployed and withheld on demand depending on the prevailing political climate - it is hard to see them as anything but an occupying gang.

You can make a search related function in FF by rightclicking on that box and 'add keyword for this search' https://i.imgur.com/AkMxqIj.png

and then in your browser just type the letter you assign it to: for example, I have 'i' == the searchbox for IMDB, so I type 'i [movie]' in my url and it brings up the IMDB search of that movie . https://i.imgur.com/dXdwsbA.png

So you can just assign 'a' to that search box and type 'a [URL]' in your address bar and it will submit it to your little thing.
I’m more inclined to use archive(.org|.ph). But this is a decent workaround when archive is unavailable.

Side note: paywalls are annoying but most publications are often available for free via public library.

For example, NYT is free via my public library. PL offers 3-day subs. A few other decent publications are available as well. Availability of publications is YMMV as well.
You mean, make my own entirely different argument? Passive aggressive dig is not an argument either.

No, what Walter wrote what what he wanted to say. However, since you agree with the conclusion, you will defend the argument even if it is not too good.
Runtime and download time are two different things.

Pyodide runs at least ~10MB. That's a lot for a web app to handle, for sure. The use case there is most likely either scientific computing/data science (where JavaScript is just an obvious non-starter), or it's line of business somewhere where someone downloads an ERP app and just runs it. Those are already huge, as anyone who uses the stuff from ERP companies can attest.

No one is seriously proposing that you should use Pyodide, with the whole Python standard library, to add interactivity to a regular newspaper website or something like that.

MicroPython might be a good fit for that though. It's ~100k -- smaller than a lot of JS tooling.

But usually when we say "fast language" or "slow language," we're talking execution speed, not runtime size.

This happens fairly often. But honestly it's a bit ridiculous that Google suggests that you change from a .co.uk to a .com to resolve the issue. That is NOT an option unless they're going to pay for the domain and the domain migration.

I would keep pushing back on that, there is no way that you need to move to another TLD.

They say that the site is "compromised and has malicious software", I bet it's actually something else, like a site that you're linking out to that's compromised and malicious--that's happened quite a bit in cases where sites are flagged like this in Google Ads.
What puts me off about the argument is along the lines of "and because of such and such, now numerically less guns exist in public, and that's -a good thing-"

For me this smacks of California style government i.e. "we've made gas and energy so expensive that people use less energy, and environmentally that's -a good thing-" or "we've made permit regulations so bad nobody is able to build anything anymore and environmentally that's -a good thing-"

The crux of these things is that if you presume that these are basic rights: not having property confiscating, building a house without too much red tape, free market energy economy - then we have arrived at -a good thing- via -an unethical thing- and thus it's a good outcome through an unethical means, or "fruit from the poison tree" as ethics states.

From a legal perspective, these are trying to avoid a completely hypothetical scenario of Peter's hypothetical gun hypothetically shooting Paul, or Peter's hypothetical +20% pollution hurting the life of Paul, and George got jammed up by the law and hates it, but the lawmaker who is worried solely about Paul is quite pleased with himself about having saved Paul from the hypothetical which may or may not have actually happened.

Including ethical terms in software licenses can introduce ambiguity, making them difficult to enforce and interpret consistently. This can lead to legal complications, discourage adoption, and limit the freedom of developers. Ethical guidelines are subjective and context-dependent, making them better suited for separate policies rather than rigid license terms.
PXE [0] is a standard for netbooting, typically implementated in the system's boot firmware. A PXE-compatible client sends a DHCP request on boot, to which the network's DHCP server responds with the IP address of a server to netboot from. The client will then connect to this server via TFTP, download an executable image file in the PXE format, and boot it. Using PXE on your own computer requires enabling PXE the firmware setup, setting up a TFTP server to serve the PXE image, and configuring your DHCP server to point to your TFTP server.

iPXE [1] is an open-source implementation of PXE, and much more -- it's much more flexible, it supports additional protocols including HTTP(S) and DNS, it has configuration and scripting options, a basic command-line interface, etc. In order to run iPXE, you need to boot an iPXE image somehow -- e.g. from a MBR or EFI image on a disk drive or USB drive (or even over PXE, I guess). But because iPXE supports more protocols and more configuration, you don't need to set up TFTP and DHCP, and it can chainload into e.g. an EFI image or a Linux kernel instead of being limited to booting images in the PXE format.

An example of iPXE in the wild is the Arch Linux netboot image [2]. They provide pre-configured iPXE images that display an interactive menu to select a mirror, download the Arch Linux installer, and boot it. (It's really convenient since you can just drop the UEFI image at "/efi/boot/bootx64.efi" on a FAT32 thumb drive instead of having to download the whole installer image and 'dd' it onto the drive.)

The submitted project, netboot.xyz, is a similar idea: a preconfigured build of iPXE that lets you interactively download and boot installers for many popular operating systems from a single image.

Reputation is crowdsourced. Perhaps at some point Teamsnap lost control of their infra and sent out a bunch of malware. Why do you assume the mistake was Google's? Same question for the OP. If Google was trying to tell me my site was compromised the first course of action I would take is to have a look into that, or page secops, before that situation spreads further.

Pet Peeve Time: Suburban neighborhoods these days typically only have a few entrances and exits... The effect of this is that unless you live in that neighborhood you won't enter it... This makes the streets quieter because you don't have any traffic passing through.. but it means that the major arteries have to have higher speeds... which I think isolates those neighborhoods.
Heck yes. The arguments against iterability felt so weak to me; going far back but it felt like concerns about a lack of determinism & ability to well specify what guarantees could be offered.

My heavens thought, not offering this has been such a vast impediment. Ideally we would have a registry of annotation/observability data ready for us in WeakMap, but these design limitations/fears have previously wounded the effort.

The point that we have WeakRef now & can workaround this, but it's ugly & slow, heightens the absurdity of the current situation.
If I read the the docs correctly, since source locations are printer, it’s about as trustworthy as trusting “wget $ISO_URL” on your installation to not download anything malicious. Unfortunately what seems to be missing is a hash check after the fact - a missed opportunity since images are loaded to RAM anyway.

(The limitation here is that you have to be able to load the installer image into RAM, which does exclude a lot of smaller nettop/thin/SoC clients unfortunately.)

One doesn't behave bad to someone stronger than them (or wealthier, or in a powerful position etc) because they know there will be consequences. One doesn't pick a fight in a bar or supermarket because they know there will be consequences.

What consequence is there for saying crappy things online, in a video game, especially playing with kids? At best one would get banned? Then go to some other site/game and repeat the same bad behavior.

I can make my computer wildly vary the amount of power it is drawing by performing different things in software. Max out the CPU and GPU load and it will instantly change from drawing ~100 watts to 500 or more.

There have been plenty of botnets in the past. Some even in the millions of computers. If such a botnet decided to make every node's power draw fluctuate per above, wouldn't this cause the same type of problem? Is there a reason we've never seen this happen despite large enough networks of hacked machines existing?

[random advice from the internet]

These are the wrong questions to the wrong people. "What do you need?" is the right question when asked to your team members.

There is a magic formula. But the variables are each of the actual people on your team. Not a theory. It's going to be hard work. You are going to get things wrong. When you do, stop doing that and work hard on what seems to be right.

Good luck.
Former Roblox player that quit back in 2016, there used to be a free currency called Tickets which were a free currency you could get through various means, it was a lot more restrictive on what you could get, but it really boosted my enjoyment of the game. The moment they got rid of tix I quit, because I refused to spend any of my meager allowance on Roblox (also generally being bored of the game after years of playing.)
Modern Roblox is really impressive, and really depressing. The things people make are incredibly cool, and they are rewarded incredibly poorly for it.

Exactly right. If a bunch of thrusters don't fire up again you now have a huge piece of debris at risk of colliding with the ISS. This probably gives NASA the most pause before doing an unmanned Starliner exit. Having people on board Starliner might be able to recover from more thruster problems but then there'd also be people on a death trap. So an unmanned Starliner might be risking as much life as a manned Starliner and NASA has no idea how much.

As for your earlier question: yes. Starliner has to leave before Crew 9 can dock. And their rules are it won't launch Crew 9 until there is a port for it to dock to.

On the ISS there are 4 ports on the Russian side only compatible with the Soyuz / Progress ships and 4 for the US side. 2 are "Common Berthing Mechanism" (CBD) used by Cygnus cargo modules (and the original Dragon 1) and 2 are "International Docking System Standard" (IDSS) used by newer Dragon 2, Starliner, "and future" vehicles.

The result is that before a second Dragon can launch Starliner must leave. If Butch and Suni aren't on it then Crew 9 arrives with 2 empty seats and 2 new space suits. The contingency exit plan in between Starliner leaving and Crew 9 arriving is for Butch and Suni to lay on the floor of Crew 8 Dragon without pressure suits below the 4 Dragon crew members (their Starliner suits can't plug into Dragon's systems).

My hypothesis of civilization is that even the smallest child with a blade may with sufficient luck grievously wound the mightiest warrior.

So there is a natural mechanism that tends people towards some level of civility when they're in meat space with each other.

Incivility towards the other not present is then about fitting in via tribalism. After all, those others could be dangerous so we had better make sure our tribe is all on the right page about mistrusting them.

Incivility towards the other who is present is then about an attempt at social dominance. "Don't mess with me because there are others like me who will avenge me." Perhaps.

Online there is only reputational harm and emotional harm. And when anonymous there is only emotional harm.

When the fear of an unexpected stabbing is truly removed we see the true heart of our fellows. Alas, not the most aesthetically pleasing view.

> Your whole life was a lie.

> Optionals were a 2-case enum the entire time.

I'm not sure what I was supposed to think instead of this.

But my question is, as a Swift programmer are you allowed to write this code yourself?

> The ?, !, and ?? you know and love?

Can you write an Either<> or a Parser<> (2- and 1-case enums respectively) which is driven by the known-and-loved ?, !, and ?? - or did the language designers keep that for themselves?
Perhaps I wasn't clear - when I say "Sometimes more!" I mean many cheap chinese inverters actually support four options:

1. Cloud management with their app.

2. Wifi management without the cloud (when you're on your home wifi).

3. Unplug the wifi dongle from the inverter for a fully offline system. You don't really need your inverter on the internet anyway.

4. Unplug the wifi dongle and DIY whatever you want, the dongle's just a serial-to-wifi converter.

That's not to say the security of any of this stuff is good, of course. In fact the security is pretty bad! But you can for sure get inverters with multiple options for non-cloud operation.

The asshole fraction is surprisingly high. If all kinds are accounted for, anecdotally I would estimate that the number is between 1/4 and 1/3. If you’re on here, there is a good chance that you are an outlier in many respects, and normally that means that we tend to breathe rarified, filtered air…we don’t see it except online.

Yes, this is exactly what Imgur and Reddit are doing. They're serving you an HTML page that requires JavaScript, riddled with ads, when you intended to link to an image file. This happens because when the user agent navigates to a URL, it prefers text/html over other formats, so it's possible to distinguish it from an <img> fetch. This is a feature, but I do take the stance that it is a misuse of the feature as it is done on Reddit and Imgur, just the same as how abusing the window.open API for popup ads was (and how, in that era, it was relatively promptly taken care of by user agents, back when the word "user" in user agent meant anything.)

I didn't at any point call serving formats I "don't prefer" (I do prefer AVIF) "abuse" of the Accept header. I just don't want images that were JPEGs to be transcoded to even lossier WebP/AVIF/HEIC files when I browse to them. Sure, if it's part of the page layout it's not a big deal, but when I'm viewing the original size image, it should be, ideally, the original image. I don't actually care if the image is WebP/AVIF/HEIC natively, that is not a problem.

The risk is not turning all solar installations "on maximum". That happens nearly every summer day between 1 and 2pm. Automatic shutoff when the grid voltage is rising can be disabled, but more than 9 out of 10 consumer solar installations in the Netherlands deliver their maximum output on such a day for most of the summer, not running into the maximum voltage protections.

The big risk is turning them all off at the same time, while under maximum load. That will cause a brown-out that no other power generator can pick up that quickly. If the grid frequency drops far enough big parts of the grid will disconnect and cause blackouts to industry or whole areas.

It will take a lot of time to recover from that situation. Especially if it's done to the neighbouring grids as well so they can't step in to pick up some of the load.

What kind of database could one access from a PC in 1985 from which one could learn about saltwqter crocodiles?
This is super interesting, I'd never come across ARGO before. Data assimilation is a similar problem for our data, and there currently exist systems for assimilating weather balloon observations into gridded reanalysis data (https://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/). One thing we believe, however, is that the reanalysis step in weather forecasting is unnecessary in the long term, and that future (ML) weather models will eventually opt to generate predictions based on un-assimilated raw data and will get better results in doing so.

That being said, trajectory-based data tooling could be super interesting to us. Let's definitely chat: austin@sorcerer.earth

And re: recovery, we're pretty confident we'll be able to recover the majority of our systems. Being in the air has the advantage that we can choose to 'beach' ourselves in a specific location, rather than the first place we run across land like with the buoys. At his previous company, Alex wrote a prediction engine able to get similar balloon systems to land in a predicted 1kmx1km zone for recovery
