> Flossing daily isn't necessary if you're an adequate manual brusher.

Anecdote. I went my whole life not-flossing, having occasional procedures until every molar had work done to it. I started flossing daily and the need for procedures stopped.
Yep. I think anecdotal evidence is actually ranked as one of the lowest forms of evidence if I recall correctly from graduate school.
I also have an @ alias on my domains, and give unique addreses to companies/services which identifies them. I'm only had a couple accusations of "fraud", but they were easily dispelled by asking them to explain what "fraud" I was committing (they couldn't) and explaining why I do this.

Addresses which have been lost/stolen and start receiving spam become spam traps, and I change the email address with the company/service to a new alias so their legitimate mail is delivered normally.

In some of the few cases where the loss/theft was identified, it didn't happen at company/service directly, but with one of their suppliers, for example, a breach at the marketing email provider they used.
It's a matter of necessity. Until grid storage catches up shortfalls in renewable output need to be mitigated somehow. The other option is to just keep all the gas and coal baseload and switch off the renewables, which would be much worse for emissions
I've seen quite a few people here reccomending the use of . and + from gmail, but I don't think its a good idea at all.

Most people who work in the 'email marketing' space know about this feature. So it's common to see people recommending clients to 'clear' their email list before sending unsolicited emails. And some services even offer this as a feature in the platform.

And that also goes for custom domains hosted on gmail. You only need a MX query to learn who is responsible for mail handling in a specific domain.

I know what you mean here, but I think we're very limited in what we tend to run. Polyglot programming still isn't really a thing, and with things like WASI standardized (someday soon I hope), I could imagine it becoming a lot nicer.

In C++ where you have methods? Sure. It would be nice to have in C, though. But, alas, ABI compatibility.
>I don't approach it seeking some lesson or greater truth, just have a nice time, which is maybe the final lesson lol.
I relate to this a lot. After a friend died in 2020, I started down that rabbit hole increasing dosages for look "perspective" or "truth" that ended up cumulating into an overdose and an overnight hospital stay. At that point, I realized that going into these things searching for something / using as a coping mechanism is fruitless and it's a more "enjoy the journey" type of thing. I was hoping for an epiphany that would set me on some steel-willed journey, but that never came.

I feel there were very good reasons that airships were abandoned. I don't know what those reasons were, but unless they enumerate the reasons and explain why they have now solved them, I will assume they are also going to fail.

According to AI, there have been 5 historical attempts to make airships work before the modern resurgence:

The early experimental phase (1780s–1850s),
The pioneering era (1850s–1900s),
The golden age (1900s–1930s),
A post-Hindenburg decline (1930s),
Cold War military uses (1940s–1970s), and
A modern resurgence (1990s–present).
> Intrinsics are faster, but you'll need several Newton-Raphson iterations for precision

I wonder have you tried non-approximated intrinsics like _mm_div_ps( mul, _mm_sqrt_ps( div2 ) ) ?

The reason standard library is so slow is exception handling and other edge cases. On modern CPUs normal non-approximated FP division and square root instructions aren’t terribly slow, e.g. on my computer FP32 square root instruction has 15 cycles latency and 0.5 cycles throughput.
Unrelated but that landing page is probably one of the best I've read and seen.
Exactly, it should use a separator. Consider a more realistic example, like http280 or h3443. Totally ambiguous.
We're talking years of increased life expectancy.

Huh? Statins are a medication type in which increases in life expectancy are extremely hard to point to all. I think they're almost a "poster child" for medications that correct a problem to an extent but whose overall benefit is quite dubious.

(and given that these medications were highly prescribed before any long term studies were finish - creating considerable incentive for people to find benefit - I'd personally wager they are overall harmful but that's me guessing - the main point is they definitely aren't boost-life-expectancy-by-years drugs but probably aren't reduce-life-expectancy-by-years drugs either, given the studies)

Chicory has some partial wasip1 support. https://github.com/dylibso/chicory/tree/main/wasi. We use jimfs to keep things simple and secure (and not worry about exposing the real filesystem): https://github.com/google/jimfs

When I did this experiment a few months ago, what we could accomplish was pretty limited. I could load and query databases, but not write to them. However the Chicory wasip1 implementation is advancing.

Can you upload part of your book and add ISBN number?
My dad worked on something similar, when during the 1980s the coal-fired station he worked at had to convert to two-shift operation, from the three-shift operation that it's 1950s design had intended. He described this process as, "bashing hell out the machines to make them do things they weren't designed to."

One interesting detail was that the more rapid startup and cooldown of turbines meant that blade spacing couldn't be as tight as before, reducing efficiency during operation. (The turbine casing has less thermal mass than the rotor, and hence contracts faster during cooldown. The spacing of the blades needs to account for this.)
The designers of new reactors (the one in this article specifically, and others too) claim that the design is inherently safe and has no possibility of catastrophic meltdown.

If this is true, then you are greatly overestimating the downside costs.

The result of a failed system won't be as inert and benign as a failed solar panel, but it is also unlikely to be "fuck up the entire city", especially when considering the smaller modular deployment.

It has no idea about calculus at all. Not only that it's a numeric not a symbolic calculator. So taking it even further back to basics, if you do sqrt(12) it should really crap out 2+sqrt(3) [as a surd] but it just dumps the evaluation out. My £10 Casio can handle that better.

As for education, you don't really need a calculator. We don't really use them that much. Pen, paper, ears.

As for computers, programmed randomised questions with deterministic answers and documented steps to solve the problems are the right way. LLMs can't do that even if they look like they can. some universities actually have tools which generate those. Those are truly enlightening as you can see the reasoning properly.
Hahaha, achievement unlocked! Congratulations!

I personally do review every line of Emacs code I run. But I'd wager only a small handful of Emacs users do that.

Not missing it. nabla9's suggested security measures for extensions. You then asked why security is a concern. You seemed to imply there wasn't any reason for limiting extensions if you trust the author. That's simply not true, as you can easily be sabotaged by the most trusted color theme author.
I’ve had a lot of good looking ladies with thousands of follows and very few followers, take an interest in my extremely non-influencer like rambling. I call BS on his growth. Maybe there’s growth in pockets, like those who love his political commentary? There must surely be a lot of people who didn’t like the liberal tech bias of previous years. I’m close to just closing my account, but might just let it go dormant.
I think it’s probably best just to stay with wordpress.
I was just thinking the same thing. Why couldn't they give it a tiny bezel, with a software option to put a virtual bezel if you want to hold it in a way it matters.

They could even give it only the virtual bezel on the left and right sides, in whichever orientation you're holding it, since you don't really hold it on the top or bottom.
The license choice is explained with the following:

> [...] we accommodate the business need for proprietary kernel modules. Unlike GPL, the MPL permits the linking of MPL-covered files with proprietary code.

Glancing at the readme, it also looks like they are treating it as a big feature:

> Asterinas surpasses Linux in terms of developer friendliness. It empowers kernel developers to [...] choose between releasing their kernel modules as open source or keeping them proprietary, thanks to the flexibility offered by MPL.

Can't wait to glue some proprietary blobs to this new, secure rust kernel /s

Man Feels Like He Gets Gist Of Enlightenment After First Few Minutes Of Hearing Zen Monk Talk

I agree with your statements but believe the solution to be the abolition, or substantial reduction, of planning controls and the introduction of a Georgist Land Tax.

Airbnb demonstrates that there was clearly substantial demand for "house style" hotel rooms but hotels chose not to provide them. In most hotels where a room is $400 a suite with a space to work, watch tv and cook, might be $10,000. The hotel market optimised for the business man travelling alone to conferences and paid a price for it. Even my favourite hotel on earth does not provide an "ordinary menu" for the nights where you just want to curl up with your loved one and watch a film - it's Michelin star dining or bust.

In most hotels the only amenity that a hotel offers that is "better" than the home experience is a swimming pool and daily housekeeping.

Who, but the richest amongst us, has their bed linen changed _every day_?

If hotels had been built as apartments with no zoning restrictions arbitrarily placed upon them there would have been an option for the hotels to adapt by offering their rooms up on a long lease.
Maybe I'm not expressing this well. There's nothing un/lucky about, it is the inevitable result of human nature. Your experience in any team in any company will be directly correlated to how emphatic and respectful your immediate management chain is as people. It is impossible to mandate this level of culture from a centralized location like HR.

That where the saying comes from: "People leave managers not companies".

We already have to protect against SQL and script injection, now we need to protect against Unicode injection.

If you meant "not having Stage Manager", I'm genuinely surprised the A18 Pro wasn't considered powerful enough to run it, given that it outperforms the M1 that was. The only thing I could think of is that Apple thinks the smaller screen is too small for Stage Manager.

I still think they should support it anyway, even if only for three apps at a time on the primary display. iPadOS is weirdly bifurcated into two different window management strategies (Split View vs. Stage Manager) based on what device you bought, which is confusing. They should be expanding Stage Manager to as many devices as possible.

Presumably this refers to his peculiar set of neologisms (“per” and “pers”) as a gender-neutral pronouns.[1]

Stallman is an extremely stubborn language hyper-pedantic with some fairly unconventional views and usages on any issue, not just this one. And he has 20 years of documented support for trans people. So with that context in mind, I think it makes sense to take it in good faith.

To say I find his position on this peculiar would be an understatement. But I find that on many of Stallman's positions on similar topics wrt. language. Either way, I'm reasonably confident it's not intended as a cover for transphobic bullying or the like, even though it may appear like that at a glance.

Is This Code SQL Injectable with Any Real Impact?
I am currently discussing with a colleague whether the following (pseudo) code is vulnerable to SQL injection (SQL Server):

database.BeginTransaction();
String userId = dto.UserId;
String firstQuery = "select * from users where userid='" + userId + "'";
ResultSet rs = database.executeQuery(firstQuery);
// Use the first entry in the result set as a user with 10 columns
rs.next();
User user = new();
user.Username = rs.getString(2);
...
// Character-wise comparison of user's password with dto.Password, if incorrect, unauthorized is returned here

// Now the second query, which doesn’t need a return but must run successfully
String secondQuery = "select * from settings where userid='" + userId + "'";
ResultSet rs = database.executeQuery(secondQuery);
// Use the first entry in the result set as settings with 40 columns
rs.next();
Settings settings = new();
settings.DarkMode = rs.getBoolean(2);
...
database.CommitTransaction();

// catch block here

This code would look pretty bad in real life. I wanted to show my colleague that it's vulnerable to SQL injection, and I successfully exploited it using `UNION ALL` in the first query to retrieve a user with a self-specified password. However, it fails to compile for the second query due to a column count mismatch, and an error is thrown when the `UNION ALL` is executed.

I also tried to insert a user into the table by concatenating `SELECT` with `INSERT`, but since `CommitTransaction` is never called, it doesn't have any actual effect. So, while the code is SQL injectable, nothing serious can happen because the transaction is wrapped, right? This seems a bit absurd.

Let’s say India did pursue these people on Canadian soil. Is it their reputation that is hurt or that of Canada? It’s well documented that the remaining adherents of the violent Khalistani separatist movement fled India and found a home in Canada. A lot of the Sikh population in Canada supports that movement. You could look at them as people fighting for sovereignty but you can also look at them as a far more violent version of the groups involved in Jan 6 in the US or Jan 8 in Brazil, since they were threatening the sovereignty of India and were responsible for many terrorist attacks.

That same group ended up being responsible for bombing a civilian airliner (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_India_Flight_182) leaving Canada with hundreds of Canadians on board. The follow up to this horrific incident was disappointing:

> The subsequent investigation and prosecution lasted almost twenty years. This was the most expensive trial in Canadian history, costing nearly C$130 million. The two accused, Ripudaman Singh Malik and Ajaib Singh Bagri, were both acquitted and found not guilty.

> The Governor General-in-Council in 2006 appointed the former Supreme Court Justice John C. Major to conduct a commission of inquiry. His report, which was completed and released on 17 June 2010, concluded that a "cascading series of errors" by the Government of Canada, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) had allowed the terrorist attack to take place.

Given all this history, to me it is utterly bizarre that Trudeau cares to defend this dubious group of alleged terrorists more than maintaining diplomatic and economic ties with India. I think it is a huge mistake because we need India as an ally to keep China in check. He knows this, I’m sure. So what’s his motivation? Where does this road end and at what cost?

If you want truly high-performance networking, you can bypass the kernel altogether with DPDK. So you don't have to worry about alternative kernels for other tasks at all. On the downside, DPDK takes over the NIC entirely, removing the kernel from the equation, so if you need the kernel to see network traffic for some reason, it won't work for you.
