Especially if they have raised it, which seems very common in places like Florida.

I can only say that using pass (https://www.passwordstore.org/) is an absolute nightmare, in case anyone else is considering that

It seems like perfect simplicity built on time-tested cryptography: store pgp-encrypted files in a git repository. We already had an internal git server and used PGP internally, it was the perfect marriage. The tool provides the common functions like selecting which colleagues to encrypt for, finding an entry and copying it to clipboard... but think of the moment your organization changes. Everyone has access to everything offline, which is great if you need it in a rainforest or when the server is down, but also you'd need to rotate all exposed-to-them entries whenever someone leaves. Re-encrypting everything to remove an old key is pointless because the git history will provide an attacker with whatever version they need.

Offline access is useful for selected credentials (like the disk unlock password for some central servers) but, to avoid unnecessary rotations, should not be the default unless you're a sysadmin mentioned on disaster recovery team

Skimming the recommendations, so far there are no tools mentioned that don't require maintaining another service or that can't read your data. At least pass had that going for it
This is very true. And to make matters even more confusing, certain drivers were at some point capable of constant-folding shaders on-the-fly so that ubershaders are essentially moved back into a bunch of specialized shaders, negating the entire concept. I don't believe this actually affects Dolphin, though (I think the drivers in question have given up this optimization).

Here is a (not very novel) idea: Netflix for news. I would happily pay for a solid aggregator subscription. But the number of times that some random news site from halfway across the world is the site of the day just keeps me away from news subscriptions. It feels like I am pigeon-holing myself and limiting my worldview to that of a couple of editorial boards / companies.

Also, for sites that want to have single-site subscriptions: If you bundle with print, give me the option of donating my print subscription to a library if I don't want the hard copy. Many people for whom the subscription is too much friction / not a great value proposition, will bite if at least they know the libraries are eating for free.
I'm not saying they're frivolous.
I'm probably missing the forest for the trees but elite player and world class musician are the p99 in their fields. I'm pretty sure some top notch at FAANG, medical research etc do at very least teaching/mentoring other people, which makes them go through "the basics" often enough.

I disagree, it's really damaging to refuse to let go of the reins.

Bob Iger at Disney never really took succession seriously and then never really left which has left the company somewhat rudderless because the ship is now dependent on a person and not culture/policy.

I'm not saying they do or should. I'm saying they apply pressure to standardise evaluation, for not terrible reasons, but probably at the cost of finding worse candidates than the best possible ones that could be found with more bespoke/hard to standardise interviewing.
I don't think it is fair to say that it is an "American problem". Not owning a car could be realistic if you live in a really large city where moving with public transport can potentially be faster than moving with a car. But even then I wonder how a family with kids would carry groceries unless you live right next to a supermarket.

Often times in HN you get the impression like americans are the only ones using cars to get around, but at least where I live (Finland) families generally own at least one car even if good public transportation is available. In 2021, 89% of adult men and 76% of women had a drivers license and I would say that commuting to work with a car is more common than with public transport. Despite having decent public transportation, it is just seen more convenient to use the car.
This fits with most of Warren Buffet's acquisition practice in the last 40 or so years. He switched (mostly) from buying stocks and securities to buying highly profitable, privately held companies with good management in place and doing everything he could to keep them in place. And I remember research from a Stanford business professor about 20 years ago that family run companies on the S&P 500 significantly outperform ones with 'professional management'. Both could just be as simple as the management incentives are aligned with the long term health of the companies.
For non-diabetics, I strongly encourage measuring HbA1c instead of glucose. It will tell you all you need to know in this regard, at a cheaper price too, at home, and without the need for fasting. Optimizing HbA1c will for most people indirectly automatically optimize glucose. Keep it below the prediabetic range.

Isaiah, being Old Testament, is more about the defense of Jerusalem, and given even in the most literal interpretation, Israelis are as screwed as anyone else, I'll say some serious verse/context cherrypicking is going on here.

Corinthians, in the New Testament, as far as it is relevant has a better standing, coming from the standpoint of illustrating that Wisdom as it is to the Almighty looks entirely different to Wisdom according to mortals, for things happen in Eternity, that a population of transient mortals may not see or recall for generations. At best though, the scripture isn't indicating this is God's active intent/doing, but taken at face value Human Wisdom != God's Wisdom. Not necessarily useful on our timescales except as a reminder that things can happen that can completely turn established order on it's head, nothing is set in stone and impossible to see change, and that in those Times, it is important to remember we are not perfect, and to meet the adversity in question with humility, and a courage underpinned by faith. Regardless of the particulars of your faith, it isn't terrible advice or Scripture. Certainly more timeless than the Isaiah verse. 3:19 is much the same schtick.

Props for casting where angels fear to tread. It will largely land on deaf/unprepared/unwilling ears however. Then again, you got me to actually look at the book, so you might consider that a win I suppose. Given the room, don't be surprised if there is a poor reception.

If anything I think a pure CLI environment would be easier for a lot of people than the incomprehensible skeumorphism-less jumble of controls that a lot of GUIs have turned into.

That seems to be a small minority in software. 2% of Github repos are Unlicense licensed, 16% are something else I don't know and for everything else, the authors have chosen to use copyright to restrict how others can use it in some way, even if it's just keeping their name on it.

Looks like nothing of value was lost.

Ukraine already gets 99.99% of airtime. Two Russian researchers -- not army generals or politicians, mind you -- were given a chance to describe the problems the conflict has created for their side, and we're supposed to pretend that those problems do not exist and their struggle doesn't matter because somebody else has it worse.

There's this thing called "journalism" where you're supposed to be given raw facts from all sides with as little interpretation (i.e. propaganda) as possible, and think for yourself. It used to be more common back in the day, though maybe not much. Now we only want to hear things that closely follow our own narrative, and ignore everything else. It's easier to live this way, I understand.
Most likely bc their license for the Nokia branding is running out in 2026.

Because their role in a company is support like CFO, CIO, CPO, CMO (and honestly CEO). The startup lifecycle where "person or people who make or design the product muddling along the other business functions until they're big enough to need someone specialized" doesn't really work for an accountant.
>Part of the problem is that carmakers refuse to sell small cars. If you don’t believe me try to buy a small car at a car dealership in America.

It is notieable that there are more and more huge SUVs and pickups appearing in the UK, even though our roads and parking spaces are not designed for them.
There's some argument that Einstein was in the right place at the right time. Mercury was wobbly, and there was about fifty years of non-euclidean geometry research built up, including (eg) Riemann breaking ground on differential geometry.

My first thought is someone is going to do these experiments, probably on a prisoner. Then my second thought was death row prisoners being given the choice of a memory wipe or death as some sort of attempt at rehabilitation. I can't yet see half the ways this could go horribly for humanity.

On the other hand knowing how this works we might be able to boost the process and make people super fast learners, that could be really cool.

Does it handle binary dependencies and Python ABI changes well? Does it isolate them from almost the entire operating system? Conda does those.

Conda packages compiled such that the search paths of the binaries are not using the OS's (which why the Linux DE Qt theme doesn't work for Spyder).

Conda also comes with well optimized binaries for high performance compute which is absolutely a must for modern data science.

Not really as far as I can see. Plenty of self-taught programmers are good or better than the uni folks, and vice versa.

The real test is whether they are curious and can continue to learn throughout their career.

A uni CS degree is essentially a very specific sort of history degree, it helps but it's not essential. What is essential is knowing if you're right or wrong or can't tell (and being ok with being wrong and taking criticism, which is maybe the biggest obstacle to computing for most people), knowing when to ask for help (early and often, btw) and allowing yourself to always continue to explore new ideas and technologies. Those are the traits required to be a good software developer, everything else is anecdotal.

More ENERGY needed. Which doesn't have to be oil. Oil is extracted by businesses which pay attention to their bottom line - and so would not, could not, will not use significant amounts of oil to extract comparable oil. Even as you consider current truck mounted prospecting, gas or generator powered drilling, crew vehicles, refineries, all the way to supertankers - these exist BECAUSE the ratio of usage to production is extremely favorable - and not through some fatality. Causality goes the other way: a worsening ratio necessarily causes a switch to other methods.

> You will not be forced to work inside something known as a “virtual environment.”

Oof, this terrible advice cancels out an otherwise reasonable post. Beginners who don't know what they're doing are the last people who should be `pip install -r requirements.txt`-ing into the system Python the way this article is recommending. That's not only going to make working on multiple projects nearly impossible (especially for the kind of beginning students who get recommended Anaconda, which are almost always the Data Science-y crowd using NumPy, Pandas, Scikit, etc, which are notoriously finicky with version conflicts), but it stands a good chance of breaking other Python-based system utilities in completely opaque ways. This sort of advice can fubar a naive user's entire workflow.

I know virtualenvs suck to explain to people, but in my opinion it needs to be done before you ever tell them about `pip install`.

The problem is that the business processes (A) are not understood, (B) are not deterministic, (C) are too complicated to implement in maintainable code (in any language). Everything flows from the effort to conceal these facts. That is the reason for the market dominance of IBM, and Oracle, and Microsoft: they are effective as partners in concealment.

That doesn't say anything like that Lisp knowledge could have prevented the attacks. It does say that reasoning similar to reasoning about computer systems security could have led to better aircraft security.

The code/data rhetoric is not exclusively an earmark of Lisp. A primary concern in security are situations in which what is intended to be data allows for a surprising malicious use whereby it effectively becomes a way to program behaviors into the software which processes the data.

For instance, Winamp being exploited by loading a specially crafted MP3 playlist file is an instance of data becoming code; no Lisp in sight. Code being a flipside of data, in the context of security, is simply the consequence of the Von Neumann model.

Graham is arguing for compartments; exactly why we use containers and such. The main idea is that the passenger cabin should be sandboxed away from the cockpit, which isn't earth-shattering.

Where he mentions Lisp is this:

> The defense that does work is to keep code and data in separate places. Then there is no way to compromise code by playing tricks with data. Garbage-collected languages like Perl and Lisp do this, and as a result are immune from buffer overflow attacks.

This point seems bungled. Garbage collection is no panacea. Bugs in a garbage collected run-time can expose applications to exploitable attacks. The advantage in Perl and Lisp is that the application programmer is not writing low-level buffer manipulation routines from scratch. That stuff is in the language run time, where we debug the low-level implementation code once, and have thousands of applications use the debugged thing. If a hole is found, we fix it once, and close the issue in thousands of apps once they upgrade to the new run-time.

Garbage collected languages do not necessarily keep code and data in separate places. Moreover, non-garbage-collected languages do that. The C language can easily be implemented in a conforming manner such that the data areas (automatic storage (a.k.a. stack) and dynamic (malloc) are not executable. C keeps code and data separate. Functions are not objects. In some C implementations, like certain DSP chips, functions are in a separate space; you cannot cast a function pointer to char * and access the function image, because the resulting pointer will be interpreted in a different memory area. Of course, C data can contain pointers to functions, which can be redirected if overwritten.

Lisp data can also contain function pointers: e.g. a closure object with a pointer to code and to an environment. If that is stored in a heap somewhere where an array is also stored, and the run-time has a bug which allows array overrun, it could perhaps be exploited.
If the government bans a service and forces them to leave, that isn't people CHOOSING to leave the service.
