Please someone from Stripe see this. This is my #1 frustration with Stripe.
Therapists generally can't prescribe drugs. Usually only physicians (or PAs/NPs supervised by physicians) can prescribe psychoactive medications, especially the scheduled ones. A few states do grant limited prescribing authority to licensed psychologists (not therapists).
x86 is the same if you stick to the origional 4bit subset. However it has been extended so many times that you can't find the nice parts.

Why not the "founder locked up" test? If the founder claims secure encryption, yet they are not in jail, that means there's no secure encryption because they negotiated their freedom in exchange for secret backdoors.
Not at all. Try searching 500/1000 sources (maximum number of conversations any free/premium user can be part of), each with potentially millions of messages, and providing the results in under a second.
I remember Olivetti PCs from the late 80s to 90s. They were beautifully designed -- not SGI or Sun beautiful -- but beautiful for PCs. I like the "grate" design.

The fact that the 5th protects from self-incriminating, WTF is a police chief saying officers are doing that would be incriminating? Like what an absolute asshat of a position to take.
The goroutines are working in that they execute, they are not concurrent.
I completely agree. For example, I don’t think people are aware to what extent China is attempting to infiltrate the US energy sector. No one could imagine to what extent Russia would attempt to influence our elections, either.

I’m hopeful it won’t get worse. It probably has something to do with the capabilities others are alluding to in this thread.
Keep in mind with Retroarch on iOS you can use dosbox-pure which can even run windows 98 games. It’s still a work in progress though since retroarch does not yet have good mouse support. Also OpenGL ES acceleration of voodoo graphics is around the corner.

On my M4 iPad Pro I get around 266 mhz p2 performance. With openGL (not yet in the App Store version) you can get ~77fps in quake 1 in glide mode at 640x480.

Pretty much everything of the dos era is playable in dosbox on a m4.

> Remembered this article... https://drewdevault.com/2019/03/25/Rust-is-not-a-good-C-repl...

Remembering Drew Devault is the Fox News of programming bloggers. He exhibits the same sort of bad faith obtuseness, and knee-jerk neck beard tech conservatism, that makes me/many want to scream.

First, his thesis is risible. "Rust is not a good C replacement". Note, Drew does not mean replace C code with Rust code, but Rust, the language, literally replacing C, the language. Ignoring, perhaps, Rust doesn't want to "replace" C, because we have C!

Next, see the bulleted text. Upon each topic something interesting might be said re: Rust, but instead they all serve a garbage thesis that Rust can never be the 50 year old language that the tech world is currently built upon. Well, duh.

My least favorite, though, is the final bullet:

> Safety. Yes, Rust is more safe. I don’t really care. In light of all of these problems, I’ll take my segfaults and buffer overflows.

And everyone wants to be a cowboy and watch things blow up when they are 8 years old.

The problem with auto-increment integer ids is they are not always possible with distributed systems.

PDN includes the PCB itself.

You need to think about the return currents closely matching. In many cases on 4 layer boards, you are required to have two Vias per... Via. (One for the forward current and a second for the reverse current).

The PCB also serves as the fastest capacitor. The PCB layers itself form a capacitor measured in hundreds of Picofarads in most cases but more importantly, almost no parasitic inductance or resistance.

In many cases, boards are simulated at the Maxwell equation level to understand crosstalk issues. It seems like RP2350 is just fast enough where these effects could be noticed (at the highest clock rate)

> due to climate changes there is already and there will be no room for cities and trains.

This idea is simply stupid, for lack of a nicer word. Seriously stupid. You think having everyone live in suburbs and drive everywhere is better for the climate? Really, really stupid.

> I'm pretty sure most trains in Japan are not self-propelled for all wagons, as in the EU.

Again you're totally clueless. All passenger trains here have self-propelled cars. Locomotives are only used for freight trains.

>too much for high-resource intensive big stuff like cities.

Again, this shows you stupid you are. Cities use fewer resources per person than any other lifestyle: smaller homes, shared walls, less motorized transport all add up to far less resource consumption. Of course, idiotic rural Americans don't see it that way because they can't imagine a world without big gas-guzzling trucks to drive around in and just see the large number of people in cities without being able to think about anything in a per-capita sense.

>A notorious tract of any dictatorship notoriously ending in deep sufferance and disruption. Cars are needed because collective transportation means can't substitute them, BUT, cars can substitute collective transportation means, that's why a SANE economy choose to ditch other transportation means.

> I'm appalled that you would argue in good faith that a tool for communicating in secret can be reasonably described as a service used to commit a crime.

That's because you're assuming facts not in evidence and painting the broadest possible argument. Obviously we don't know the details yet, but it's not unlikely that this situation was a bit more specific.

Consider:

F: "We want you to give us the chat logs of this terrorist"
T: "OK!"
F: "Now we need you to give us the logs from this CSAM ring"
T: "No! That's a violation of their free speech rights!"

You can't put your own moral compass in place of the law, basically. That final statement is very reasonably interpreted as obstruction or conspiracy, where a blanket refusal would not be.
Issuing ID is a fixable problem and you can fight about ID issuance without upsetting anyone. It's not acceptable to respond to perceived inefficiency in ID issuance by letting people vote without ID. Realistically, it is impossible to live a normal life without ID as it is. The only people I expect to have trouble getting ID are the very elderly and disabled who have no transportation at all. That too can be fixed.
UPD: Ouch, messed up the Rust lib import path on Unix systems in the demo. Now fixed.

I enjoyed the content, but parts have a certain ChatGPT je ne sais quoi to them that I find very distracting. The bias toward wordy phrases (“to mitigate performance concerns”), the five-paragraph-essay stock transitions (“In conclusion”), the variable use of “Mac OS X” and “macOS”… it’s distinctive. The post was clearly at least outlined by a human - was it too hard to write the prose by hand?

(Also, some things were just wrong. Like, “the transmission of system information immediately after connection establishment” is a clear sign of malware? No, every single telemetry / error reporting tool does that.)
Right, but I was trying to understand the author's motivation, and this was me handwaving about if it could be about compiler trust. The article discusses bootstrapping but not explicitly why the author cares—is it just a fun exercise (they do mention fascination)? Are they using an obscure architecture where there is no OCaml compiler and so they need the short bootstrap chain? _Is_ it about compiler trust?

(Again since it can come off wrong in text, this was just pure curiosity about the project, not dismissiveness.)
Or to take it another direction - how do they gestate? At what point can we call it a chicken and when does the shell (assuming that's what would make us call it an egg) develop?
When did I talk about any specific system? You can’t make a toaster without at least five databases. You can’t change oil in a car without consulting the internet because there are 400 oils and special mfg requirements like a programmer to reset the counter or to run a replaced oil routine.

It’s not my fault you can’t think beyond Boeing.

It’s the whole world, and you are just one of the people that even if it is pointed out to them can not see it. Because like I said, you haven’t made anything to see the issue.
I'm sorry but if you can't afford $30 every 8 years there is something very wrong with you. I would not be opposed to a poverty exemption for the fee, but the fee is so low that nobody realistically needs it. I don't know of a state with no fees for documents like ID.

There are identication requirements to get an ID, but that goes for any state. You have to have that to prevent identity theft. If you move to a new state you can usually turn in your old ID with like one other thing to get a new one in that state.

I think that changes the answer by GP's logic though, since then the first egg-layer obviously came before its egg.
Police are employees and the cameras running is a term of their employment. To me, it seems no different than a delivery truck driver having a traffic camera on in the truck being a term of their employment. No one is forcing them to be employed in this job and they don't have a "right" to arbitrarily dismiss reasonable conditions of employment (like "wear a uniform", etc) and, in effect, force their employer to keep employing them despite not fulfilling their employment contract.
You're thinking at the level of one drug. But that's not the right level, it misses too many second order effects.

If someone is sick, they've likely been diagnosed by a doctor, who will treat them. This is how the consumer will know at all they might want to take the drug.

So the effect of the advertisement is to change the course of treatment as the consumer will ask their doctor for that drug ("ask your doctor if $drug is right for you"), and a doctor needs to prescribe it to begin with.

So the "Red Queen's Race" is not a sometimes. It's in fact almost always the situation at hand, generally between multiple courses of treatment.

We can observe from countries with no prescription drug advertising and similar levels of development that health outcomes are broadly similar. So we can be quite confident that this kind of advertising doesn't lead to significantly more appropriate treatment in aggregate, and it's therefore most likely to be a race to the bottom.

> It's got a lot of warts.

Really? Seems pretty elegant to me.

The problem with Make (or any build tool) is that few developers care about how their project is built. They want to focus on writing their code, push a button, and get into testing it. That's a fair enough attitude.

But the problems with build tools are insidious. It's basically trivial to build a small project, so to start with, everyone assumes it's a nothing problem, and spend no effort on it. Then as the project grows, over months and years, the problems slowly accumulate. Each time some feature or corner case is added, the build gets slower, more complex, and cruftier. Eventually someone decides to take a look inside, and recoils in horror...

But it's not Make that's the problem (or any build tool). It's just the fact that building big projects is a tricky problem, and requires just as much effort to solve elegantly as any other tricky problem.

I worked at a big bank that had a problem with their Make-based build system taking multiple hours (sometimes days) to build some of their projects. They spent millions on trying to replace it with some Java monstrosity. I spent a few months rewriting their Makefiles, and the build times shrank to less than 1% of what they had been.

Make was the best tool for the job, because the job was vast, and had many, many corner cases. Make is a general purpose language, and is fairly unopinionated about how you use it to solve problems. All the "Make replacements" I looked at were far too opinionated to be elegantly bent to the task at hand. They were designed to look simple. That's great when your problem is simple, but big builds are not simple.
I think the main difference there is that tech companies don't spend 67% of their marketing money schmoozing your doctor.

Of the $30 billion that Pharmas spends marketing in the US, $20bn is aimed at doctors.

There's about a million doctors in the US.

That's ~$20,000 per doctor, each of whom has a significant degree of implicit trust and authority.

Even if a doctor believes they are not swayed by marketing, studies have shown that these efforts can subconsciously affect their decisions.

And $20k/year/doctor just seems awfully high. There must be a more efficient way to help doctors make those sorts of decisions...

> Who else should they advertise to then?

No one. It's not a brand affiliation issue, it's a facts and awareness issue. Doctors can read journals and papers and peer reviews just fine!

There's no need for them to be told what to do on paid Hawaiian vacation weekends in 5 star hotels. You can see why they prefer things this way though.

> it is morally worse to advertise and influence people who don't know any better.

So don't.
What good is being slightly shorter if it us still nowhere remotely close to practical?

Its kind of like saying 100 years is a lot shorter than 200 years. It might be true, but if all the time you have to dedicate is a few hours it really doesnt matter.
Um, the 5th gives you the right not to talk. It doesn't give you the right not to be recorded should you choose to talk. A cop has every right not to admit crimes into a government microphone. That is something different than saying that cops can disable microphones just in case they say something.
Well I'm sure France isn't taking Durov to some black site at this point. But since there's no such thing as distributed computation of single AES block operation, each server must by definition have access to the server's SQL-database key, and that key can be confiscated from which ever node is interacting with the database. Last I heard the servers in EU were in Netherlands, so if needed, perhaps the authorities there will handle it after court proceedings.

AFAIK telegram dont have any super-advanced search features neither it instantly return you results for all these years. Also if you search less common terms it's usually take longer than less than second.

And if you just run client on device without a lot of this history cached search wouldn't be anywhere as fast as you expect. So I pretty sure there no server-side magic there, but instead very good UX.

Also I can tell for certain that with right index grepping tons of JSONs can be very effective on any modern devices.

For compilers specifically, I think plenty of people would disagree.

It's not that it's exceedingly hard in C, but programming languages have evolved in the last millenium, and there are indeed language features that make writing compilers easier than it used to be

I have the most fun when I write x86 MASM assembly. It's a pretty simple language all in all, even with the macro system. Much simpler than C.

But a simple language doesn't always make it simple to write complex programs like compilers.

And now that I'm thinking about it, Dances With Wolves. Lonesome Dove TV miniseries. Braveheart. The Departed. Lots more, I'm sure.
> If they actually did though (and/or didn't have the authority to use violence up to killing people) none of this would even matter.

That's the thing though, if the cop's use of violence up to killing a suspect was justified, then the body cam would not matter. So if you want that authority, then you have to expect proper oversight. The longer that oversight is avoided, the more intense that effort gets. If you don't like, don't shield those that are causing the problems.

In summary, at this point with their history, fuck'em if they don't like the oversight.

> combination of random and short

IMO we need to be clear on the distinction between (A) the UUID bit-generation scheme versus (B) the way it is encoded for human use/reading/transcription.

They are mostly-separate problems.

For example, you could have a very secure mathematical scheme, but it gets ruined by a horrible representation where each bit is written as either a capital-I, a lowercase-l, or the number 1.

Conversely, could have a deeply insecure scheme that uses a nice compact serialization where everything is grouped into chunks and "1Il" confusion is not possible and there's a check-digit, etc.

Maybe.

I have a “decent” ERV. The manufacturer claims that it’s great against air pollution, wildfire smoke, etc, and those claims do not come with numbers. Empirically (as measured by an actual particle counter), it’s crap. It does have real numbers for ventilation rate, and it works great for ventilation. This is a high end ERV, and I see no evidence that any other model is better. And it can’t be: a good, energy efficient filter is large, and all the manufacturers want their devices to be small.

My solution: put a great honking filter in front of it. This increases the lifetime of its crap internal supply filter to effectively infinity (or I could remove it), adds basically no resistance, and reduces supply particulates to effectively zero.

“Great honking” here means a 24"x24"x12" “nominal” HEPA filter with a MERV 8 prefilter. The prefilter costs basically nothing. I expect the HEPA filter to last for years. I would have preferred a not-quite-HEPA 99.5% or 99.9% filter instead, but those are surprisingly hard to buy. Big HEPA filters are easy to buy. Two big MERV 16 filters in series would do the trick, too.

(The filter efficiency math is entirely different for a ventilation system than for a recirculating filter. For recirculation, MERV 13 is fine and MERV 16 is a bit better. For once—and-done ventilation, you want to reduce outdoor crap to your preferred levels in a single pass, and MERV 13 is not even close to good enough in places with pollution or smoke issues.)

Coversely, a poorly filtered fresh air system is fine for reducing air contaminants from indoors but will actively fight against a standalone air purifier if your goal is to reduce outdoor pollutants.
