Yes - it ticks the box for 2FA.
Very well put, especially about the necessary dis-comfort.

I've always personally envisioned some terrible end-state of human history where vast swathes of people are in something more like a zoo than a prison. Without escape, but also without enough pain to push them toward resistance, until it's too late to turn back.
There are lots and lots of different ways of "being human" - an infinity of ways, really, but most fall into broadly recognizeable patterns. The Humanities, properly understood, are the study of "being human" - which involves both the way you experience this (which, yeah, for most people is a learned behavior: it's hard to get outside your own perspective and evaluate your own experience), and also the way others' perspectives influence them.

There's no "just" about it. (It's like saying "Facebook is just a CRUD app, right?" - which from one point of view might be literally true, but's hardly relevant to any of the problems Meta has to solve.) Much like tech, humanities are a path of life-long learning, for which a college course of study can be (though isn't strictly necessary as) a helpful starting point, but is hardly adequate.

Efficient robots, though: yes. Many who work in tech have also internalized that mind-set.
That sounds like what the IDF would say too. Do you have anything to back your statement?

Where do you think the line should be drawn?

Arguably if your client is IDF your devices are more likely to exclusively end up in the hands of military personnel whereas if your client is "Hezbollah" (whatever legal entity acted on their behalf in this case) an attack would be (and has been) far more likely to injure, maim or kill civilians and non-militants, not just because of the higher likelihood of harming bystanders and family members.

Would a supply chain attack like this against Toyota be justified because of the large market share in after-market "technicals" used by terrorist and insurgent groups?
Hi,

I used RockAuto for the first time recently. The site is super dense with info and functionality, but never once did I feel lost or overwhelm. Neither did I feel like anything was missing. Everything I needed to see and do was exactly where it should be. It's so rare for the screen to disappear like that. It's so transparent that I _almost_ can't say it's a joy to use (it's a joy to use!).
Israel would 100% "blow up Columbia students" if they happens to be in the wrong side of the border at the wrong time. That's exactly the problem, Israel murdering wholesale students so other students are standing up tonight them while people like you ignore and defer.
Yes, absolutely! The concept behind the project could be extended to pull 1 billion different data points from a database like DynamoDB, instead of using static checkboxes.

One of the main reasons I used checkboxes was to keep it simple and lightweight for this initial experiment. However, pulling dynamic data points from a DB like DynamoDB would offer much more flexibility and scalability.

I still love those icons too, and I used them for several apps I built.

You may not have heard of the Fugue icon set, created around 2010-ish by Yusuke Kamiyamane, which provided 3,750 16x16 icons in the style of famfamfam and the silk icon set.

More recently, someone upscaled all the Fugue icons to 32x32: https://github.com/chrisjbillington/fugue-2x-icons.

Next up “how I made my ui responsive but then heroically stopped labels wrapping away from radio marks”.

There’s a reason, even if accidental, why writing custom controls was sort of a black magic in traditional ui. And that reason is, most people are clueless about how fragile ui actually will be in their hands.

I realise that. The point is that a user is implicitly committing to the baseline error rate that exists in whatever means by which the document was created. If any additional loss was insignificant in proportion to that error rate then it would be unreasonable to reject it on that basis.

> You have to pay 2x for multi-AZ or you get downtime for upgrades.

Worse. In Single AZ deployments you get (short, but not that short or strongly bound) downtime for daily backups and when doing snapshots. Source:

- https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_...: "During the automatic backup window, storage I/O might be suspended briefly while the backup process initializes (typically under a few seconds). [...] For MariaDB, MySQL, Oracle, and PostgreSQL, I/O activity isn't suspended on your primary during backup for Multi-AZ deployments because the backup is taken from the standby. ",

- https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_...: "Amazon RDS creates a storage volume snapshot of your DB instance, backing up the entire DB instance and not just individual databases. Creating this DB snapshot on a Single-AZ DB instance results in a brief I/O suspension that can last from a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the size and class of your DB instance.".

Not to mention that multi-AZ deployments incur extra transfer cost between zones - not between DB instances (this one is free, last time I checked), but between your compute deployments and DB instances, if your compute does not automatically follow the zone of the db host it talks to.
Nightmare seems like a bit of hyperbole.

Look, it's not without its quirks, but it's pretty reliable. Speed and responsiveness can be further upped by using an in-memory cache like Redis/Valkey.

Nextcloud can try to be everything it wants, but as users we can ignore that and stick to file-sharing/online/cloud storage.

If one is using it primarily for file storage/sharing, it works reasonably well. We have ~1TB of Nextcloud data on an NFS share (itself snapshotted ZFS), backed up to B2 regularly.

If something happens to a Nextcloud server (and it has), restoring the data is as simple as recreating the users and copying over the data directory for each user (provided you're not using it for calendaring and such). A quick OCC command to re-index user data and we're back.

We haven't had any issues running the docker image (orchestrated via HCP Nomad).

We have also helped a friend run Nextcloud for their small non-profit, as a snap on an EC2 instance in AWS. It keeps itself up-to-date and has been pretty-much problem free for years. EBS Snapshots cover backups there.
Interesting question.

TL;DR; its a gauge to see how willing to leave you are.

Long version: For some crazy reason I am often interested in why people leave a job. Of course there is a corollary, why do people stay? Especially if the job is terrible. In talking with a lot of people in many professions, the most common theme applied to why people stayed at a bad job.

People fail to move on from a bad job if they have a sense of loyalty to the co-workers and "cannot leave my friends behind".

Although it should be obvious, the fewer ties you have the more willing you are to move on.
may I refer you to Karl Marx? Communism is perfect, it's just been implemented wrong.
Indeed. It seems next level insanity that we dont have wage liabilities (capped at some decently high amount per month like 10k a month to avoid c suite abuse) at the absolute front of the line followed immediately by pension liabilities (again with some capping mechanism to avoid c suite abuse) and then followed by everything else in the evemt of a bankruptcy enshrined in bulletproof law. It should just be how it works with no exceptions.
There is a difference between using infiltration to gain intel and engage in surveillance (although this still caused moral outrage when Snowden leaked details about US intelligence services infiltrating foreign companies in allied countries) and using supply chain attacks to turn electronic devices into remote detonated bombs at scale to carry out a terrorist attack.

It _does_ offer a million different things and some of those are half baked but the core functionality (a dropbox-like file storage) is decent in my experience.

Updates have never been an issue. And honestly I am always a bit surprised by that. I don’t update to a new version right away but when I’m ready, I change the version in the docker compose, pull, re-up the container. It performs the database migration and brings up everything.
Never had an issue after using it for years. Not sure what your exact setup is, but it’s certainly not a nightmare to use.
Also why companies dogfood and have internal betas for products (when this is possible; i.e., you’re not making something for enterprises or other kinds of customers). The sense of ownership you’re talking about may not be as direct but stake in success of the product is there.
People don't shoot up crowds because of something they read on the internet. They do it because they are done with life. Everything after that is retrospective reasoning.
In the early 80's I lived in the UC Irvine campus trailer park and used to hike daily in the surrounding Irvine Company land. I hardly ever saw anyone else out there other than a scary pack of feral dogs. Looking at a satellite pic now I see the whole area built up with development. I used to bike to a job on Balboa Island along the estuary. That was a beautiful ride at the time but now looks all suburbified.

To get away from all of that population I moved to a very remote subdivision in rural New Mexico. I was the first inhabitant and had almost the whole place to myself for the first decade. It was glorious. Now it's full up and I have neighbors on three sides.

I feel like the old cowboys must have when they saw all of that barbed wire going up. No matter how far I run modernity is patiently coming after me.

As an amateur, I think I follow most of this, at least at some level, but I don't follow why you'd unify the basis elements and particles. Thinking of a quantum harmonic oscillator, the eigenstates have some kind of localization that feels particle-like, but the oscillating pattern of a coherent solution seems "more particle-like" and arises out of the interference between those eigenstates. In particle-speak, I might try on a sentence like "this classical particle is generated by the interaction between... other... particles" but I'm clearly at a loss there.

On basis of that, I'd be more likely to say "QM needs to describe everything as a wave, and sometimes certain kinds of localized 'wave-packets' move around coherently, and that's what we'd call 'particles'". That also seems to gel with less coherent states where it feels like there's not really a particle to be found.

So, I'm curious why you'd prefer to relate the eigenstates themselves as particles. Again in the oscillator case, the eigenstates themselves seem less coherent and seem to behave less classically than I'd hope.

My best guess is that the property those states have that is not as well replicated by the "particle as a coherent wave packet phenomenon" is that they have well-defined energy quanta. But that's just a bit of a stab in the dark here. It perhaps makes more sense from the perspective of "particles are the things that we're able to measure in detectors" POV, though.
North Korea is known for doing this in the crypto space to pull off heists.
> Also, hard to say without source code but there is a high chance even more efficient methods like Protobuf create a lot of Java objects and that kills cache locality

I don’t think this can be claimed that easily without more info, generational GCs work pretty much like an arena allocator, with very good cache locality (think of an ArrayList getting filled with objects that are continuously allocated in short order. The objects will be right next to each other, in memory). If the objects are short-lived, they can be similarly cheap to stack allocation (thread-local allocation buffers that just bumping pointers).
I agree, default "Medium" firewall setting is the very first thing I change on a new site.

Smartphones are the most used device nowadays. A home assistant would not be used most of the times by many that don't stay at home most of the day. If OpenAI wants to get into hardware market it would make sense to enter the biggest market available. Microsoft won't try a third attempt at creating Windows Mobile but it makes sense for them to try again through OpenAI.

Why, did anything happen when Israel shot down a plane full of civilians?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libyan_Arab_Airlines_Flight_11...

"Libyan Arab Airlines Flight 114 (LN 114) was a regularly scheduled civilian flight from Tripoli to Cairo, through Benghazi, that was shot down in 1973 by Israeli fighter jets after it entered by mistake, due to a system malfunction, the airspace of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula – then under Israeli occupation – resulting in the death of 108 civilians"

"The Israeli Cabinet discussed the incident three times in secret meetings. The minutes, declassified in 2023, show that the main decisions were to deny all responsibility and to refuse to hold an official inquiry"

But then, I think the only real difference between a civilian flight and a residential building is that in the first one there's people of many nationalities, while the bodies buried under the collapsed ruins of the building are all Palestinians, so we don't care much about them.
I guess Unicode happened?

The unknowns surrounding the mysterious rise of cancer in young adults
There is SO much bloat in all the “modern” UI “culture”. Reinventing things over and over again. Creating entire frameworks for tiny, simple things. And the worst part of web UIs is that (though there have been efforts to address this) there is low regularity between the experiences especially compared to native UI apps where you are purposely restricted to a set of controls which look and behave the same across all apps that use them.
