THIS! My face doesn't like electric razors, but safety razors applied in in beard growth direction are fine, and give reasonably smooth shave.

Also make sure to clean that razor (Of course I did so for the electric one I had, a pretty advanced Phillips one with great reviews), and use sharp blades. Typically changing blades after 5 shaves is a good practice, though a bit of a luxury. Razors themselves and blades both have different level of agressiveness, you might not find the best fit for the first attempt.

I have good experience with Feather, some Lord and Voskhod Teflon blades. Some others didn't work well, but settled on these as soon as I found one readily available and of a good fit for my skin.

I also have a Müle R89 razor that is said to be not agressive, and indeed it did work out well for me! Had some others before, cheaper ones (actualy the Mühle one is not expensive, just not dirt cheap, it will easily serve you your whole life), some were hard on my skin, with the exception of some very basic Lord one was pretty ok. Cannot name the model, bought it while travelling and was sold for a few bucks in a bazaar.

Also shave after shower, or use other techniques to soften your facial hair. (though most are really cumbersome, like using steamed towels) Shaving soap of cream alone is barely adequate in my opinion.
I was expecting to see something about how Debian's updates are slow. Instead I learned something about SELinux, which is cool. However, I don't think it's fair to extrapolate from this that Debian is less secure in general. A case has been made here that Debian is less secure for containers and server usage. For desktop users who just want sandboxed applications, I don't think Red Hat's SELinux implementation does much to protect them.

Sidenote: I don't like the implication that community-driven projects are inherently less secure.

> Lack of Resources: Debian as a community-driven project lacks the resources to develop and maintain comprehensive security policies comparable to those provided by Red Hat.
I'm not commenting on kernel dev specifically, just the general state of things.

> I’ve only ever seen hostility from the C folks

I've seen that, too, but it looks to me that the hostility in that direction was a reaction to the hostility Rust folks have.

It takes two to tango, of course, but also devs are people, too. While it's not ideal, it's also understandable that people react poorly to being treated poorly.

I dont think John quite realizes the quality of the coffee at the average office before such machines were a thing. It was much worse than capsule espresso, and I dislike Nestle as much as anyone else. The same for most people at home, really. And those who already made better coffee have kept doing so anyway. No, while capsule coffee is absurdly wasteful and there's plenty to criticize about it, the one positive thing is that it produces better coffee than what used to be the average.
'Proper' websites are marketing and signalling. If you're creating a company that doesn't intend to do either of those till it has a product, why bother with more?
Yeah seconding this. A lot of my razor rash went away when I went from Gilette Blue to Gillette Platinum. I've tried a lot of blades from different companies including Feather but the Gillette Platinum seem to work best for me.
Yeah this would be great if it had a feature like jib (https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/jib) where it just natively packages into a container. It seems like it should have all the information it needs to work, as long as you can override the base image.

Physics is also great for machine learning, though the approaches can be rather unintuitive. For example message passing and belief propagation in trees/graphs (Bayesian networks, Markov random fields etc.) for modeling latent variables are usually taught using the window/rainy weather marginal probability analogy and involves splitting out a bayesian/statistical equation into subcomponents via the marginalization chain rule. For physicists however, they tend to teach it using Ising models and magnetic spin, which is a totally different analogy.

A lot of the newer generative ML models are also using differential equations/Boltzmann distribution based approaches (state space models, "energy based" models) where the statistical formulations are cribbed wholesale from statistical physics/mechanics and then plugged into a neural network and autodiff system.

The best example is probably the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm which was invented by nuke people.

> Write software for that industry or thing

Did you miss the part where OP said he didn't want to be a software engineer anymore?
Indeed. You could buy https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/251618381, for instance, which is a perfectly good razor and costs 70p per unit. Assuming one lasts you a week, that's £36 per year. Many people could make one last at least a fortnight, which brings the cost down to £18 per year.

Is it worth £8 per year to save the hassle of dealing with a classic double-edged razor? Yes, of course it is. This is a very strange thing to get upset about.
What does that mean? Physics is still empirical at the end of the day. Experiments decide what theories best explain the world. Math doesn't have such a requirement. It doesn't need to model natural phenomenon. Your physics lecturer sounds like a Platonist.
It's pretty safe but accidents still happen. Just the other day I sliced my finger while grabbing my king gillette from the filled sink. It happened because I wasn't looking and the blade was exposed. I basically unscrewed it to clean out the hairs and didn't tighten in back up before dropping in the sink. And this happens to me sometimes that I don't fully tighten it. Even though I've been using this type of razor for a couple of years already I still manage to nick myself occasionally if I'm not careful.
> You have to let your skin get used to it.

Alternatively, you simply develop better technique without noticing. They are much closer so they are very sensitive to grain direction. I’ve found that I need to go with the grain, then sideways, and lastly against the grain in sensitive areas like the neck. And beard can grow in swirls, so grain is not always the direction you’d think. Secondly, warm clean skin and foam helps a lot to soften the hairs. Best would probably be in the shower but a hot towel before works too.

An electric razor is a good complement, and to be fair I use it more often. But that’s because I usually don’t care about the close shave. When I need make myself presentable I definitely prefer a proper razor, even when irregular.
But why would one ever shave with dry skin in front of a mirror? Walking barefoot on burning hot asphalt is also a nightmare and coincidentally also not how it’s meant to be done.
Exactly my thoughts. 3-5 shaves? I use them for tens of shaves. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I'm glad I do.
This is neat. Modern take and very pragmatic.
Been shaving my bald head for more than 10 years and went through disposable razors, cheap double edge razors, a shavette, an electric razor...

Disposable razors will clog with just one shave, and they're difficult to wash and clean and they left me with irritation. Not even getting started about reusing them. They're the most expensive solution.

A cheap double edge razor will give you cheap results. The ones I got here (for what would be about US$1.5) had slightly skewed corners, so you had to be really careful and moving your hands as straight as possible. And its grip is non existant when your hands are wet, so when you're shaving the back of your head it can be a bit dangerous as the shave handle can slip or spin and nick you. They corrode rather quickly and if yours falls to the ground, that's it.

With a shavette, or a straight razor, you have to be even more careful - the blade is more exposed. I used to grab it near to the blade so I could have more certainty about the angle of it. I find it gave me a bit more irritation that the DE Razor and it's really difficult to near impossible to use it around and behind my ears. Though nobody beats it when shaving long hair - it can't clog.

At last I could afford a Leaf razor - it's just absolutely great in almost every sense and though it's not cheap it was worth every penny - sans the clogging thing, but you can clean it almost as easily as a DE razor. Oh and maybe I wish the spring that moves its head to its original position was a bit more strong. Never have had a cut or nick with it and it gives the cleanest shave I've ever had. Got one for my father (he's going to be 88 - and he still has his head full of hair! I just didn't had luck with the genetic lottery) and he likes it too.

I don't use special soaps for shaving nor oils or anything, just regular soap or thick shampoo and water (mostly because third world issues). Blades here can cost around US$0.35 per box (that little box that has 5 blades) so they're relatively cheap. With the Leaf razor I use the three spots so it's a blade and a half and lasts me for ~8 shaves, head and beard. I prefer them to be really sharp as when they start to lose its sharpness you tend to do some pressure with the razor and that's when most of the nicks and cuts happen.
Not really, unfortunately, given that attestation practically always depends on some piece of secure hardware being able to guard an issuer-certified secret with which it can authenticate itself to a relying party and thereby bootstrap trust into any derived/stored secrets.

If that attestation secret is extractable in any way, nothing prevents an attacker from creating a fake authenticator able to create fraudulent attestations, despite not behaving like an authentic one (i.e. in that it allows extracting stored credentials).

You could theoretically try to mitigate the impact of a single leaked attestation secret by using something like e.g. indirect attestation and authenticator-unique attestation keys (rather than attestation keys shared by hundreds of thousands of authenticators, which is what Yubikey does), but it would be a probabilistic mitigation at best.
I largely agree with the article, but...

> Well understood mechanical bike shifting transitions to electronic shifting which requires you to pay more and charge your pedal bike

This has been on my mind lately. I own a bike with mechanical cable shifters and derailleurs. I've talked to friends who had to maintain these parts over the years, and even seen one maintenance session personally. Namely, you have to change the steel cable every so often because water and dirt enter through the ends and contaminate the cable. And after every few cable changes, you need to change the housing as well. Ask anyone who has ridden over 10 000 km, and they will tell you that they've changed the cable and/or housing during that operational period. Also, cables stretch and shift over time, and even without changing the cable or housing, you have to constantly re-tune the cable tension to ensure crisp shifting and not get stuck between gears - you probably have to do this every 1000 km.

Electronic (wireless) shifters/derailleurs don't have this particular failure mode because there is no mechanical cable. Sure, the derailleur needs lubrication and occasional maintenance, and you need to charge/change the batteries, and of course you need to make sure you don't destroy any electrical cables. But I believe the maintenance of as electronic shifting system requires far less labor. Electronic shifting isn't just a cash-cow gimmick; it offers real advantages. Another point is that some cargo bikes with a long distance between the rider and the derailleur(s) use electronic shifting instead of running a long cable, which again reduces maintenance and failure modes.

FWIW, I’ve worked at many RedHat shops over the years and I’ve never seen one where disabling SELinux wasn’t a normal part of provisioning a server. I haven’t seen the same thing with AppArmor (although I admit I have less visibility into debian systems administration). YMMV but it seems to me that a component which is so inconvenient that it’s normally disabled doesn’t provide much security in the end.
The plastic part is a good point. Anyone have a recommendation for basically "the 52 pack of BIC single blade disposables with a quick pop in pop out handle"? Specifically I'd like one just as completely shitty in every way (i.e. plain, not contoured, single blade, no pivot, but a decent enough blade) minus I'm fine with the inconvenience of moving the handle to the next one (so as long as it's a quick pop).
> The US in the 1st amendment has one of the strongest regimes for protecting expression in the world

Sure, but there are plenty of other countries that has "one of the strongest regimes for protecting expression in the world" also, but also doesn't have gag orders, so I'm fairly sure what country I wouldn't host a service like that in.
Would it be possible to stack multiple double-edge blades into a shaver head, slightly offset to each other, to perform like a traditional multi-blade disposable razor?

Or is the thinness of a disposable blade what makes it work well, assuming the blades can flex more to follow the skin profile?

I could see a product where you install 3-4 double edge blades into a the shaver head, and then "flip" the head or blades once the first side runs dull.
its very expensive as just a device for taking notes.

I suppose using its limited abilities and rephrasing that as "not getting distracted" is an interesting marketing tactic but I prefer to hold my own self control instead of just buying worse but more expensive products.
Tomcat and Minecraft should be good samples
+1 for the Henson, it's an engineering marvel. It's precision machined to stabilise the whole length of the blade edge to prevent it from wobbling and bending, which makes shaving much easier and the blade last longer. It makes the blade seem sharper. It also makes it harder to cut yourself since the blade can not sink into your skin.
I'm assuming these aren't even uploaded to "the cloud" somewhere, and even so, its probably a limited time window.
Debian is a desktop operating system for human persons who are responsible for their computers. Red Hat is a enterprise operating system for corporate persons where the human persons using their computers are not responsible or in control of their computers. It's apples and oranges.

These aren't "attack surfaces left exposed" this is "users allowed to control their own computer and decide for themselves". And I notice the vast majority of this complaint about insecurity is not about running applications on Debian or RHEL, but instead about the systems built up for running things containerized and trying to mitigate all the problems that causes. Debian concentrates more on actually having an OS you can run applications on rather than a system for deploying containers.

>In the end, the choice between Debian and Red Hat isn’t just about corporate influence versus community-driven development. It’s also a choice between a system that assumes the best and one that prepares for the worst. Unfortunately in today’s highly connected world, pessimism is a necessity.

In the end it's about weather you think you should control your computer or weather someone else will control your computer. Pick appropriately for context.

Including the very, very limited environment of secure elements, and the capability of interfacing with the sometimes very specialized cryptographic accelerators/coprocessors required for adequate performance?

We're talking low double-digit kilobytes of persistent storage, and sometimes single-digit kilobytes of memory here.

Also, including a full TLS library seems like complete overkill if you only need some cryptographic primitives. These things are usually certified in expensive code and hardware audits; you essentially have to justify (in terms of adding complexity, and with it the possibility of vulnerabilities) and on top of that pay for every single line of code.
