I think it was a pretty ambitious first project in OCaml, which is vastly different from the languages you came from.

I took a similar path years ago and I found your situation akin to mine. The documentation is spotty, full of gaps, particularly for a new comer; although I found some reasonable books that helped "OCaml from the very beginning, 2013" and "Real world OCaml 2nd edition, 2022".

I love OCaml but I don't see myself going back to it. I love re-reading old code that has been cleaned up. It reads like perfect design. It's satisfying.

However I found writing OCaml to be painful, battling the syntax and the LSP. The LSP being actively highlighting everything red due to one typo, because the syntax is this way, and it's frustrating... And sure, you can work without LSP support, but it's useful than cmd+tabbing 300 times to run the program and watch it crash on typos. The right balance is to turn it off and turn it back on at times.

But once finished, and years down the line, re-reading completed OCaml projects is a joy. I'd like to imagine that it made me a better programmer in other languages; due to the type-system-first approach, and transformation of data through functional programming.
Reminds me of the main view in the Yr.no app, which visualises the weather as a picture of how things would look outside a window at different times of the day. It is actually quite easy to get a feel for the amount (and type) of precipitation, as well as the wind, from the animations.

However, you only get to see one moment at a time, requiring you to scroll horizontally through the day, and the temperature is only shown as a number.

> Several years ago, I was involved in a case that illuminates the difficult position many doctors today find themselves in. The patient was pregnant, close to delivery, and experiencing dangerous declines in her baby’s heart rate. She had been on a blood thinner, which kept me, the anesthesiologist, from placing an epidural in her back. She also had strange airway anatomy, which would make it a struggle to put her to sleep quickly if an emergency cesarean section became necessary. I advised the obstetrician to perform an elective cesarean section now, in advance, while we had good working conditions, and not to wait for an emergency, where time is of the essence, and where the delay needed to induce general anesthesia might seriously injure the baby.

I am a doctor and that scenario scares me. This has a very high likelihood of stuff hitting the fan and you need to think about your plan when it does.

You want stuff to hit the fan during daytime when everyone is around. In this case, during the day surgery is around, ENT, around, other anesthesiologists all of these can rush in if needed to help you secure an airway. You also have the neonatologists around.

If it happens in the middle of the night, the staffing will be much reduced and you won’t have as many resources available.

One of the most important things to learn as a doctor is when algorithms and guidelines actually apply to the current situations.

The trouble is that the alternative is worse. They come to your house, you don't have Tor installed and then, because you haven't been using Tor, they pull your search history and trawl through it looking for things to take out of context.

Why did you do multiple searches for std::vector? Are you worried about sharing needles? You also read an article about caffeine, which is often used as a cutting agent. You've been participating in internet discussions about using Tor, which the prosecutor argues is only used for CP and drugs.

> If Tor was ubiquitous obviously not, but its very niche, and looking at a chart of use, its pretty much only used for drugs and CP.

Nobody really knows what Tor is used for, by design. But the media likes to rile people up, and "Tor used by privacy activists to read Facebook" isn't a headline that does that.

It's all too easy to lie with statistics. For example, some people have looked at which hidden services are most often looked up. That's not going to tell you about real usage, because bots do lookups at a much faster rate than real people, and government agencies run automated crawlers. Then you get statistics that say a significant percentage of the lookups are for CP and drugs, but not what percentage of those lookups were made by law enforcement running crawlers 24/7 specifically looking for CP and drugs.

Here's another example:

https://www.sciencealert.com/only-a-small-fraction-of-the-da...

> "In countries coded as 'free', the percentage of users visiting Onion/Hidden Services as a proportion of total daily Tor use is nearly twice as much or ~7.8 percent."

> In other words, people living in liberal democracies are more likely to exploit the dark web for malicious purposes, whereas users living under repressive regimes in non-democratic countries might be more likely to use Tor to circumvent local censorship restrictions and access free information on the internet.

Tor is used to bypass censorship. This use case happens more often in countries where there is censorship, and less often in countries where there isn't, because obviously. Reaching from there to "people living in liberal democracies are more likely to exploit the dark web for malicious purposes" is ridiculous. A higher ratio of B to A because of a smaller need for A does not imply a greater occurrence of B.
What about S3, you don't really need a file storage provider either?

> are javascript devs really that afraid

You might be afraid of JS devs :P Anyway has nothing to do with language, even if it was a super c0ol Ruby-on-Rails app with Active Record and SQL db on a server you manage it's still common to have some stuff in NoSQL for fast access to live data, caches, logs, etc. Most companies at scale will have both SQL and NoSQL dbs in areas. So if you're already using S3 for files, code on GitHub, storing keys in 1Pass, why not use a Firebase or MongoDB for high traffic live data? Especially if they offer built-in scaling and geo deploy options.

This scenario I laid out is kinda to your point of "don't anchor your entire company on it" - the only point I'm trying to add is that you can also use these tools without the company being "anchored" on it, and they could have still ran into the same issue as Arc.
why don't you do this technology without the AI for image recognition and instead keep the AI that predicts levels over time but instead it uses nutrition facts? i'm REALLY unaware of foods that one can buy that don't have even basic facts about what is in it. all legit restaurants have it on their online menus. food you buy in stores have it. even for multi step prepared foods you can just combine the facts for all the parts plus some voodoo with the cooking method to come up with the in vivo response estimation.

Starbucks New CEO on Return to Office: 'We're All Adults Here'
companies undergo natural selection much like organisms do. the difference is companies aren't made of cells, they're made of people. it's a higher level of abstraction.

in the case of kodak, their cameras were simply worse than competitor's cameras. either kodak must die, or it must kill parts of its current product and make a better product. to give a biological analogy, it would have to cut off a limb and regrow the limb to stay viable. it's very complicated and risky to do that kind of surgery
Often, the market demand moves on from what the company is used to making, and institutional inertia makes it hard for it to respond to that change. Probably the most common reason. It's worth noting that big companies are simultaneously inherently dysfunctional and overfitted on their domain. Change is hard.

Sometimes, a company will start taking its position for granted and start optimizing for profitability at the cost of customer satisfaction. They assume their position is secure, while it actually isn't, and then they are dethroned.

Other times some bad but reasonable enough decisions turned out not to work so well.
Well, we have neither a free market nor a planned economy. We have a protected industry.

It would seem prudent for the browser to be banned in professional environments. (I use Kagi's Orion browser as a personal browser on MacOS. My work is done in Firefox.)

Absolutely. (Even if it were in beta.)

What I'm trying to say is the $2k payout sends a message. One, that The Browser Company doesn't take security seriously. And/or two, that they don't think they could pay out a larger number given the state of their codebase.

My totally ignorant hypothesis is this:

When a company becomes successful, salaries increase and company reputation improves.

This obviously increases the incentives to get into the company, which in theory should be good: more people want to work there, so the company has more options to choose employees from.

But this pay and reputation increase disproportionally attracts the kind of people that don't really care about doing a good job or creating an exceptional product, but only care about the money and status.

If the company lets these people in, they will slowly destroy the culture that made the company succesful in the first place. The general feeling goes from "how do I contribute to the company creating the best product ever?" into "how do I get a promotion as fast as possible?"

But that's just my personal hypothesis that isn't supported by hard data.
Depends what you’re doing. I have a side project that generates CSVs in the GB range. It keeps everything in bytes because encode/decode is a lot of overhead in loops when you’re hitting them millions of times.
I did something similar between jobs—built a k8s "cluster" on my home Linux box using kops+qemu. It didn't make me an experienced admin, but it was really enlightening and fun! Projects like these are a great way to learn.

Arc is used disproportionately by users who work in tech which tend to be paid quite well.

Am I wrong in thinking that with this vuln you could drain any financial accounts that they log into Arc with? Or, if they use Arc at work, that you now have a way to exfiltrate whatever data you want?

A browser vuln is about as bad as an OS vuln considering how much we use browsers for.
Surprisingly, them keeping your (and the author's, and other abandoners') files probably makes more business sense than deleting them: the files probably don't cost that much to store (my hunch is most abandoners don't have TB's of data), and since they all still have an account, DropBox can spam them with these threats and maybe some percentage of them do return, allowing DB to make money off them.

If the files get deleted, both sides know it'll be the end of their user-provider relationship.
Flawed implementations of open specs can be worked around with things like quirk tables. A spec held hostage by a non-cooperating vendor cannot. In the world of ARM SoCs, bad vendors won't even provide a device tree, just a binary image compiled from a patched kernel.

Speaking of things like this. How are folks managing setup for their local machines to standardize config like this across them? I’ve been in search of a git-ops like solution that is single user/multiple machine compatible doesn’t require having an existing server online somewhere from which configs would be fetched (e.g. I’m fine using GitHub).

1. Is this street legal? If so, how?

2. They discuss functional safety, and lots of testing, which is great. But I’d want to see some data on the test

3. It makes me uncomfortable that the anecdotal videos are easily findable, but bulk data/statistics are not. Anecdotes can easily be cherry picked. I get that they’re necessary for marketing, but I don’t feel they’re sufficient given the product’s purpose

You're pointing out that SOTA hashes like SHA3 and Blake2 aren't length-extendable, which is true, but KMAC is more than simply keyed SHA3; it's also domain-separated.
Yeah, but it has to fit down a well. In other words, ideally it would be a maximum of 6 inches in diameter (and significantly less if it's going to be widely useful for solution-mined salt caverns).

The "drilled shaft" is the only entrance, and while those are typically huge by well standards (solution mining needs to circulate water, so you have to have room for nested casings/pipes), they're still dramatically smaller than what's described here. You typically have a "hanging string", which is a suspended pipe within the pipe for injecting water with flow around the outside of it back up the well (either to extract gas or for solution mining). You want something that fits down the inside of that so you don't need to pull the hanging string for a sonar survey. It's a big pipe, but you're not going to fit a literal mini-blimp that's a couple feet long down it.

With that said, I do wonder if these have other mining applications. It's not good for solution mining, but it sounds like it could be useful for remote inspection of dangerous levels of conventional underground mines. Conventional mine shafts and levels have to be big enough for people and equipment to fit in, and this seems reasonably sized for that application.
If it's internal, did they really need to have auth?
I get the application being a touch sensor, but the real breakthrough is the embedding of magnetic particles with parallel orientations in a flexible medium. A few immediate questions:

-The company that makes Magnequench presumably knows their particles can be embedded in other materials. What's the most common use case for these types of particles? Are they typically embedded in fixed (non-flexible) solid medium or liquids?

-Is it necessary to use Dragon Skin? The idea of mixing magnetic particles in a semi-solid medium is intriguing to me. Like putting particles into Jello or Silly Putty. Could I then apply an external magnetic field and have the particles deform/shape the medium they are in?
Keyed SHA-512/256 would be a design smell. Just use HMAC.

It’s different for every company, but if we look at Kodak for example, the market shifted and they didn’t keep up. They developed a digital camera in 1975, so it wasn’t like they were surprised and didn’t have a shot. It is more likely that they wanted to protect their film business. They saw themselves in the film business, so as the need for film faded, so did their market share. Other companies filled the void.

Kodak got hit again when the smartphone launched. They carved out a ok niche as having some easy to use digital cameras, and the disposables were still semi-popular, but the smartphone effectively killed the point and shoot camera.

They had time to pivot in many directions, and failed to do so in any meaningful way. It’s a good idea to make sure a business has a clear vision that isn’t dependent on a technology, so it can evolve over time. If instead of film, Kodak focused on something like, “capturing memories.” That leaves a wider door open for digital cameras, video, smartphones (or partnerships/licensing), printers (which they do), but even into cloud services and software. Cloud storage, photo management, sharing, etc. Humans have always had a desire to capture memories, so the vision would never die, just change formats. From etchings on a cave wall to photorealistic 3D printers of today. They don’t even have to limit themselves to visual media either. But they got stuck on film, it is what it is.
I feel like this has the same basic shape as the problem of industrial pollution. Instead of the classic "diffusion of responsibility", there's more a "diffusion of injury". Theoretically, class-action lawsuits are supposed to handle this, but those are basically toothless when a government organ can hide its process for "security" reasons and then have the case dismissed for lack of standing (cf. Jewel v. NSA).
