Why is the only PHP defence i hear always the same "use a framework!". I did those for decades, and they always end up sucking. Either you need to hack around them, they have shitty defaults and finally they are abandoned and bitrot without any way of rewriting because of the huge size of the app.

How about just write the code, using the stdlib and picking highly focused libraries for things you dont want to write (crypto, drivers etc.) your self.

Now is the time to search for a strong opposition voice within the Democratic Party. While Biden was in office, Trump never shut his mouth. The Democrats need to be doing the same. Holding rallies, making TV appearances. Representing the close to 50% of the country who are watching this unfold in horror.
The real cost will play out over years after Trump's term. When funding cuts like this hit, researchers and programs decide to find homes elsewhere with better funding. Cuts like this cause current and future talent loss that is very slow to reverse.

I don't know what the answer is, but I ran into this when I was trying to harden my systemd settings. I'll link my override below and maybe someone can give something more conclusive (and any suggestions to my override or for other services are greatly welcomed. I'm happy to add even ones I don't use). Where I hit this error was when messing with RestrictAddressFamilies, which are network socket addresses. For example, when I restrict AF_PPPOX or AF_UNIX I get that issue. IIRC I also hit that issue when I had moved a file, but I forgot which one (I noticed it got autogenerated again). So I suspect it has to do with access to some file location where it stashes a config file. Fwiw, this works with tailscale just fine.

"Only 3s and layups" is the current easiest strategy to build a proficient offense, but it's certainly not the only way.

You don't even have to look far for an example. The Denver Nuggets won a championship a year and a half ago while nearly attempting the fewest 3s in the league.

> In the past, the team built its roster around a big name like Shaq. Most of the offense were from the center. This has now changed...

Is the author not aware of Giannis, Jokic, Embiid, (Wembanyama... soon)? The winners of the last 6 MVP awards? If there were enough talented bigs to go around, every team in the league would be building around them because it works really, really well.
I think the bigger the claim, the bigger the evidence should be which supports it.
Beautiful eulogy. I don't know the author nor the eulogized but reading the eulogy made me appreciate people like those two (poker players, options traders, sports gamblers etc).

I often see in HN comments about how trading and Wall St in general is evil - when I feel completely the opposite. The two inventors of Figgie may not have contributed directly to curing cancer, saving the dolphins or the whales - dare I posit that most of tech building enterprise JIRA-esque todo-lists, e-commerce middleware and ad trackers don't either.

What I love about their friendship is that I see poker/gambler-mindset of always going for it, shoving the chips to the middle of the table when the pot-odds are good and it is a +EV play. I think they went all-in on several projects such as Figgie, AI Poker and teaching - seemingly all without the whole LinkedIn life coach-advised manner of building up your brand, client-base etc.

The older I get, I find more value too in the honesty of finance and trader types. Yes trading is about money but being honest about that is ironically one of the most altruistic things that can happen for a person. I find that most traders and gamblers who become aware of their greed and selfishness in their work - ironically also causes them to be very generous and selfless people in life due to their constant awareness of that limitation; and to also have zero fox given about what other people think of them professionally and socially (vs. in tech nowadays).

As an options trader/gambler, I'm thankful for the author's eulogy and their efforts in inventing the game. It's a bittersweet story. I read from the eulogy that Max Chiswick embraced the variance of life. Their friendship albeit short and sweet for me is like a fat right tail call option - the holding period might've only been a year and change - but the payoff is one that enriches the soul for life.
I'm sitting here checking HN every half hour–hour or so, between chores and errands; you're responding much quicker, based on your timestamps, telling a perfectly calm person to "relax" and inferring that I'm being emotional about something I have no actual investment in.

I am of the view that the chance of life in a single universe is vanishingly small. Fortunately, there can be many, many universes, or many, many effective universes. I googled the number of stars in the universe and it said 10^23. I am admitteedly not sure exactly what all this entails, but that is a pretty small number. How many ways are there to arrange a deck of cards? 10^68. That means you would have to put 10^45 decks of cards in each star system just to get a good chance of finding another deck with the same order of cards as one you shuffle yourself. And life it a lot more complex than a deck of cards. The number of stars grows linearly with the volume of space. Probability shrinks much faster. I don't know what the actual probabilty of life evolving is, but I wouldn't expect it to be very easy. And I don't think there is any reason to think the universe we see is the only "try" there has been to create life.
I make no argument regarding whether their actions are effective or not. Only suggesting what they might be thinking are the reasons they take these actions.

Honestly if they had blown up our planes... I'd say there is a real chance we blow up that shiny building where they planned that.

It's even possible we told them exactly that and this is why the plot didn't continue.

Especially when writing software for hardware in space, managing "unreachable" code paths is tested and considered, because with cosmic rays and other sorts of radiation, no code path is actually unreachable.
You have the ability to push files from one AppVM to another - they appear in ~/QubesIncoming/[source-vm-name]/ and you can do what you want with them from there. I do this regularly and it works perfectly fine. It's not drag-and-drop, there be demons. It's either a command line utility or a context menu in the file explorer.

There's no concept of a local shared folder you can mount in multiple AppVMs, though as networking exists, you could easily do so, if you wanted - share a folder in StorageVM and mount it in others. Though doing so would defeat a lot of the point of isolation, if VM1 can corrupt a file that will then attack VM2 when read. You'd want to really think hard about your threat models and what you would and wouldn't want, with such a setup.

My advice? Dual boot. Yes, at some level, dual booting raises the risk of QubesOS compromise from the other booted OS, because it could pop /boot, and such. But in practical terms, you're no worse off doing that, than you are with another OS running full time - and as a lot of the threats are things like "ad-delivered malware" or "random PDF to your inbox being malicious," you gain quite a bit even if you still dual boot into something else on occasion. My daily driver X250 has a straight Ubuntu install on a separate SSD that I use on occasion, in theory. Mostly, it exists to run a VM to talk to a car, except I've not had to do that in a long while. Oh, and movie playback on long flights. Power efficiency for video playback on Qubes is "not good." Except I don't do those anymore either. So, every few months, I boot into the Ubuntu install and update it.

Caution: QubesOS, to the right sort of person, may as well be a virus. It took less than a year to go from "Play OS on a random laptop I was in the process of selling" to "Primary daily driver OS on several machines." And then I realized I didn't actually use the desktops anymore.

I built a custom gpt to inject 'covert' advertising into its responses with varying levels of transparency. At more covert levels it wouldn't disclose any brands unless you asked it for specific examples of products that had the benefits it would talk about. At the most covert it wouldn't even do that, but would litter its responses with enough keywords that a google search would lead you to the product it was intending to pitch.

The wild part is that it would always lie about why it was doing it, not disclosing anything about the framework or intent of injecting that content into its responses. Yes at some level it's obvious it would do that, but it's also interesting to see it first hand.

Because as we've seen the 'public' land is actually materially controlled by a tiny minority, many of whom are in cahoots with corporate interests, which is now coming to a head.

Since it generates next to no revenue as a public park it doesn't take much cash by exploiters to curry interest. If it isn't doing anything profitable nor in the private hands of say some rancher that will chase off ne'er do wells it is in jeopardy to whoever has greatest access to corruption.
Coal being from the north and west demanded logistics for supply which in turn fuelled (sorry) the shipbuilding, docks, ultimately the railways, you name it.

Everyone jumps to this every time a world leader does something crazy. I think it's a self-comforting mechanism. Convince yourself that they're just acting like an idiot but behind the scenes it's all under control. Thing is, sometimes world leaders actually are idiots.

I haven't used Eshell much, but this makes a simple "command &" arguably much saner than in a traditional Unix shell.

I imagine that a new feature would be accepted only if someone can make it play nice with existing features. And in case of job control, I have a bad feeling about the complexity involved.

These discussions cannot be avoided because America is not intended to be an autocracy, yet the neofascists keep on shrouding themselves in the flag. At this point the only sensible reading of "fight for America" means working to separate the current administration from the levers of power before they finish breaking down and selling off our entire country (ultimately to China).

That's not true I'm afraid:

The German Bundesliga has a playoff to see which of the 16th team in tier 1 or the 3rd team in tier 2 goes into tier 1 next year

The English Championship (tier 2) has a tournament of four teams (placed 3rd-6th) to determine who goes up into the Premier League. The final of this is known as the richest game in football, worth £120m+ to the winner.

It could also be argued that the new UEFA Champions League format is a US-style playoff system. Maybe the old format too now I think of it.
>Usually, when we say something doesn't exist in nature, we mean it's fundamentally incompatible with our 3 spatial dimensions as they exist, passes through itself, or is infinite along some dimension, requires infinitely thin surfaces, etc.

Well, that's what we're saying. The distinction lies in ideal/perfect, vs imperfect. For example, does a perfect cube shape exist? If you closely examine any cube in existence, it has small deformities if you look close enough, as the very edges and corners which make up a cube are made of atoms, which are non-cubical in shape (not to even mention quanta). A perfect cube relies on an cubical shape at infinite scale, but as you mentioned above:

>when we say something doesn't exist in nature, we mean it's fundamentally incompatible

>or is infinite along some dimension

Norton's dome requires an infinitesimal point of sorts for the math to work out. Does that exist in reality? Idk, but it certainly seems dubious.

Money is fungible. All the hand waving about “it was really X agencies money” falls pretty flat when Americans go without.

Yes Congress sets spending, but the executive is responsible for executing on the law. Biden should have gone back to Congress (if needed) and said “no, this money is for Americans”. But he didn’t even try.

Which is why nobody should be surprised so many voters support what Musk and Trump are doing - they are doing what many voters think is the right thing to do.

Americans are just tired of politicians excuses.
Hi,

Ack --> I misread your article and thought your child was 14 years old, not 4. I don't believe kids that young qualify for any of the auto-adjusting toolkits. The medtronic has a minimum age of 14 (I think). In any case, the best advice I can give is to get your child on something like medtronic's pump + cgm + smartguard as soon as you can. Ideally the minimum age limits will drop and the quality of the treatment will keep improving.

I left the no-longer-relevant-to-you comment below in case it would be interesting to others.

Good luck with everything.

=======================================================================

This is a different suggestion than you were talking about in your article, but:

If possible, I would highly suggest trying out the medtronic minimed 780g with guardian 4 or simplera using the "smartguard" feature. This is the first out of the box solution I've ever tried that almost (but not quite) felt like magic in terms of achieving good control that was mostly automated.

This setup provides 3 things not yet available in the dexcom associated systems:
1) auto adjusts your basal rate (via a weighted average or 6ish days)
2) aggressively adjusts basal rate to avoid lows
3) aggressively micro boluses to help prevent highs.

I have recently switched from a tandem x2 with dexcom g6 and g7 and used with xdrip+ android phone app (similar or same as the nightscout you mention, depending on where you get it.)

The dexcom cgm with the tandem auto correct would typically take (for me) 6 hours to correct a high from something like too low meal bolus. The medtronic usually takes less than 2 hours and doesn't peak nearly as high.

More importantly, the hypoglycemia prevention is a complete game changer. I have not had a severe low blood sugar since switching -- and this means avoiding the hypoglycemia followed by 24-48 hours of higher insulin resistance.

The out of the box systems are getting really good, and are advancing at a quick pace now (which until recently hasn't been the case). The quality of control I have now is much better than with xdrip+ and the auto controls available in the tandem x2.

I used to eyeball my android phone many times during the day to follow trends and try and catch highs or lows early. Now, I don't need to adjust basal rates. If I miss calculate the carb counting for a meal, the auto correct takes care of it. Now I only need to pay attention to longer trends relating to meals boluses and relying more on a1c values to double check that the control is really ok.
….getting better while costs are being controlled?

This is a vague enough notion so that every proposed counterexample can be denied. Of course research costs are going to increase over time as there are no more low hanging fruit.

… Governance by bureaucracy

One party has actively sabotaged most efforts at getting better outcomes. For example, Michelle Obama was criticised for wanting healthier school lunches. One party has actively labelled government as incapable of doing anything right and we voted them in. They are now demonstrating that what is really true is that a party against good governance is not good at governance.
> none of the above

What do you do if that were to happen? Another 6 months of campaigning while nothing gets done? That's no way to run a country.
> that wants to put crypto posts

I wasn't. That's the point. It's been a long time since I stopped working with Ethereum and I always despised cryptocurrency as an speculation instrument. To take whatever I wrote about (ENS as an alternative for resolving identity without DNS or the handful of discussions about a guy working on ZK-proofs) as being a "crypto bro" is ridiculous, but I am sure that your prejudices will force you to disagree.

Another fun fact: there are three commonly used ways to define week numbers (see `man strftime`, %U, %V, %W; %V is the one used in at least the Nordics). In some years they coincide so you might not notice that you picked the wrong one until next January.

Yet another fun fact: with %V week numbers, the date 2024-12-30 (December 30, 2024) was 2025-W01-1 (the Monday of week 1, 2025). Thus strftime needs two different ways to specify the year: %G denotes the year that goes with %V week numbers, %Y denotes the year that people usually think of when they ask "what year is it". Unfortunately %G comes before %Y on the strftime man page, so people who scan the page quickly can easily pick %G when they really want %Y. I've seen a few bugs caused by this.

I have also seen the corresponding bug in SQL, using IYYY instead of YYYY. This boggles the mind, but apparently when some people read "ISO 8601 week-numbering year", they only see "ISO 8601 ... year", think "yes, that's the date standard we use" and don't care about the "week-numbering" word in the middle.

Tech is rapidly polarizing, following the American public. There is very little middle ground anymore for Americans, and it seems our tech companies are doomed to follow that trend. There will be nationalist companies, and those that think nationalism is a dirty word, which is which will shift with administrations.

This feels dangerous, as our largest geopolitical adversary, China, outright owns its companies. They have no choice but to be nationalistic. It's one of America's great contradictions that one of our greatest strengths, our right to believe as we wish and act accordingly, leaves us significantly weakened as our population becomes less and less aligned.

It would be a massive failure to try to force Americans to go against their own conscience. So we're left forced to ask ourselves why so many Americans think fighting for their country is a bad thing, and what we can do about that.
