For me my preference toward dark themes increased through the 2000s along with my need for syntax highlighting as I started writing more complex code. With light themes, syntax colors don’t “pop” nearly as well, giving me fewer visual anchors and making my eyes get lost in the code a lot more easily.

That said, I’m not fond of super dark or pure black-based themes and prefer those with a 75% gray background (with 100% being black) or thereabouts. With pure black themes the code pops too much and it feels like it’s all vying for my eyes’ attention at once.
Thats a handy article. Anyone in the field knows the title of this is implicitly true but its not at all obvious to the lay reader.
I think that each request needs some extension to ask for this if needed. Which would be enabled if there's a person typing data used to craft the request. If there's no human actively involved you can reject bad requests eagerly and save resources (and hopefully don't get hammered with bad requests)
Does this work for terragrunt as well?
> If you cut them, their jobs are going to fall to professors

yes, then you hire more professors, instead of hiring more staff! Funny how people don't seem to realize the obvious.

I'm certain that has cuts continue, admin will begin to be laid off, but it makes total sense that the first response to grants being rolled back is that the things that are directly funded by grants (NOT ADMIN) are also rolled back.

To continue a SNAP example: it makes total sense that when you have less food money, you buy less food. You may proceed to sell your used video game consoles later but the very first thing you do is reduce your spending on food.

> as if regulations are product launches.

The iPhone 15's main selling point was compliance with EU regulations. ;)

Like, unironically, that is how the general public has responded to a lot of recent years' EU regulations.
Not only is this law terrible, there are several other laws like this that have existed for years.

People saying criticism is politically motivated (ignoring the fact that this law was drafted by the Tories and passed by Labour...so I am not exactly clear what the imagined motivation might be) ignore the fact that the UK has had this trend in law for a long time and the outcome has generally been negative (or, at best, a massive waste of resources).

Legislation has a context: if we lived in a country where police behaved sensibly, I could reasonably see how someone could believe this was sensible...that isn't reality though. Police have a maximalist interpretation of their powers (for example, non-crime hate incidents...there is no legislation governing their use, they are used regularly to "question the thinking" of people who write critical things about politicians, usually local, or the police...no appointed authority gave them this power, their usage his been questioned by ministers...they register hundreds of thousands of a year still).

Btw, if you want to know how the sausage is made: security services/police want these laws, some event happens, and then there is a coordinated campaign with the media (the favour is usually swapped for leaks later) to build up "public support" (not actual support, just the appearance of support), meetings with ministers are arranged "look at the headlines"...this Act wasn't some organic act of legislative genius, it was the outcome of a targeted media campaign from an incident that, in factual terms, is unrelated with what the Act eventually became (if this sounds implausible, remember that May gave Nissan £30m on the back of SMMT organising about a week's worth of negative headlines, remember that Johnson brought in about 4m migrants off the back of about two days of briefing against him by a six-month old lobbying group from hotels and poultry slaughterhouses...this is actually how the govt works...no-one reads papers apart from politicians).

Giving Ofcom this power, if you are familiar with their operations, is an act of literal insanity. Their budget has exploded higher (I believe near a quarter of a billion now). If you think tech companies are actually going to enforce our laws for us, you are wrong. But suggesting that Ofcom with their new legions of civil servants is supposed to the watchdog of online content...it makes no sense, it cannot be described as "totally normal" in a country other than China.
Are there any news stories about these specific claims (executives held by the US until they divest assets, EU companies losing their data in discovery and being copied)?

The EU's biggest exports to the US are cars & pharma. I guess the VW diesel situation could be seen through that lens, or the GLP1 compounding rules.

I've been using Authy for TOTP in conjunction with Bitwarden Premium for passwords.

I considered using Bitwarden Premium for TOTP, but dislike having passwords and TOTP codes in a single-point-of-failure backup location.

I looked into Bitwarden Authenticator, but it didn't seem to support sync between devices, as you've now corroborated. This is the reason I gave up on Google Authenticator and switched to Authy — I don't want to have to deal with trying to get all my accounts unlocked if my phone gets lost, broken, or stolen.

I've set up Authy with a backup password so that I can recover it if necessary. I understand that this is less secure, and Twilio (the company behind Authy) seems to have a mixed reputation. However my reasoning is that maintaining two layers which are separate (Authy on phone and tablet, Bitwarden on laptop) is consistent with defense-in-depth theory — even if the layers have some weaknesses.

Maybe it's time to switch to Yubikey, because TOTP apps that don't sync between devices are too high of a risk for losing access, and TOTP apps that sync aren't quite "something you have". How do people prepare for the potential loss of Yubikeys? Is it reasonable to get a spare[1] and keep it in a safety deposit box?

I’ve worked at several startups and I’m not at all sure the typical employee is more empowered. Yes, large companies have bureaucracy, but startups often have micromanaging founders who haven’t learned stuff like delegation.
Show HN: Multi-Language Manga Reader
A webapp that lets you read manga/comics and switch languages at any time easily.

Growing up learning English as a second language, watching Family Guy (and later other shows) has helped me improve a lot. Now learning Japanese, I tried to replicate the same but had to realize that I'm not at the right level yet. I still had to pause and look up words too many times for it to work well, so I moved to reading manga. In cases where I am still unable to understand after looking up every word and researching grammar, I check the same speech bubble in the official translation. Even if the translation sometimes takes some liberties, it helps me understand the general intent and allows me to move on.

I've built this app, so that I don't have to manually keep two manga readers (the original and translation) in sync. You can load two versions of the same manga and it will synchronise them, so you can switch the language with a click of a button. I use an image registration algorithm from OpenCV to match and adjust the images of pages, in order to be able to switch languages without jitter.

It is done entirely in the front-end, so I more or less don't have to worry about infrastructure. Because of this, it can also be used offline once the webapp has loaded, which was an important feature for me.

It still has many rough edges that I would love to polish, but for now, it works well enough for me and I'm the only one using it as far as I know. Still, it would be awesome if this helped people with similar needs.

The current odds (0.28% as gnabgid@ cites) are still uncomfortable. But also, most of the Earth's surface isn't a city, so maybe we should be even less worried.

But on the other hand, I do wonder if a city-killer blast in the wrong spot could trigger some kind of nuclear response in a jumpy geopolitical climate. I keep thinking about the time the USSR caught some weird atmospheric effect and nearly launched, save for the skepticism of a lone individual who chose to break with protocol...
Well, Democracy is still the least worst of all political systems!

> This is because GitHub is not building the features we need, instead they are putting their energy towards the AI land grab.

You throw the ball to where it's going. Gitlab might be delivering more value in the short term, but if things wind up looking significantly different in ten years, they might be in for a world of hurt. Innovator's dilemma is real.

It's a danger to ignore the tectonic changes happening. It's also incredibly risky to lean fully in, because we're not sure where the value accrues or which systems are the most important to build. It doesn't seem like foundation models are it.

It's smart to build basic scaffolding, let the first movers make all the expensive mistakes, then integrate the winning approaches into your platform. That requires a lot of energy though.
Below the Ivy League and Premier type universities, many systems are based in/through a particular State, and so we could be more granular with a huge territory/populace and evaluate which States are ranked where for what types of research.

Further, it may be the case that Europe doesn't need/want a lot of high-tech, high-cost intellectual workers and opportunities that would drain brains from pools that do something more relevant, like soldiers, transport/shipping, or retail workers or HCPs.
Ah, yes, that noted bastion of health disinformation and conspiracy theories, Yale.

I guess it isn’t technically wrong to refer to the linked researcher as an influencer, as her 336 publications have been cited 43,649 times.
I'm not sure that syncing is a feature that should exist. Once an OTP shared secret has been added to a device, it should be unretrievable, ideally stored in a security enclave.

If you can just clone an OTP to as many devices as you want then I'd argue it's not really two-factor. The mechanism used to sync is the same one a malicious actor would use to clone all your OTP entries and gain access to your accounts.
Hiring. And honestly the docs and stuff look really dated and I understand why people are a bit put off. At some point you have to modernize the look and feel of the ecosystem. The docs are really detailed though and if it was just me and a few others I would have gone to CL in a heartbeat.

Where do you get that? Federal loans are currently 6.5% for undergraduate, 8-something% for graduate. Private loans are higher than that.
If Google isn't able to shut it down or providing the infrastructure necessary to keep it running in some way, why pay them at all? Whatever path towards work that you say could happen to support it in the future could just happen now instead. If that's too expensive for the customer or the local partner to consider, I have to question what this setup is even helping hedge against at all, because the whole point of it seems like it should be for the customer to be able to put in whatever work they need to up front to be able to avoid being forced to deal with it on a timetable they don't have control about in the future.
I find that often people conflate "move to cloud" with "take crusty thick client application and webify it".

Replace (most, not all) crusty apps with a web version - sounds good to me. Put it in the cloud - that's optional.
Just out of curiosity, what is "a normal licence"?
Thanks, I really appreciate it.

I do think that the amount of regulation is proportional to the complexity of the society. While you can over or under regulate, the general future trend will be more regulations.
This is not typically the case.

Typically, universities have a pretty hard and clear line between research funds and teaching funds. Teaching funds come from tuition, are under the purview of someone like a provost, and are distributed to the colleges. The colleges then pay tenure track/tenured faculty, associate faculty (teaching), and TAs with these funds. Typically, these TAs get a waiver for their studies -that also comes out of teaching funds.

Research funds come from granting agencies such as NIH, NSF, DoD, DoE, and to a much lesser degree, private partnerships. These funds go directly to the tenure track, or occasionally research-only faculty to pay for their research program. These funds can also be used for RAs (pay graduate students full time so they don't need to teach). TA and RA wages are usually the same, but graduate students working as a TA won't get as much done.

Usually a position such as Vice President of Research exists. That office takes IDCs (15-80% depending on the university negotiation with the granting agency). Both IDC funds (often called F&A funds) and teaching funds pay money to the colleges for some percentage of things like building costs, staff (janitors, safety folks, admin) etc. There are usually intense negotiations between the office of the provost, and office of research, over exactly who must contribute which funds.

Oftentimes, a successful and wise research office will realize that the more graduate students they have doing unencumbered research, the more federal grants they can bring in. So many research offices will sponsor RAs per department/college out of F&A funds. Additionally, they will often pay the tuition waiver to the graduate school out of F&A funds. This can lead to not enough TAs to teach classes though, so again, this is usually negotiated between the teaching and research sides.

Typically, teaching brings in most of the money at a university (outside of the biggest research universities), but teaching revenue is much more stable, so those funds are spoken for immediately, usually on fixed costs and union jobs.

Research funds are lower, and because they are brevet quite guaranteed, many folks that are paid from research funds are on contracts that must be renewed every fiscal year, etc.
It is still true that people freely shared and copied sources for useful software in those days. It wasn't even called "open source" or any other kind of fancy term because it was the norm.
It is now well known that serotonin uptake cannot explain the effect of SSRIs and that we don't actually know how they work- but that doesn't mean they don't work. Most drugs have many effects (we call some of them side effects) and this isn't the first drug where we thought we knew how it worked and ended up being wrong.

Some have found flaws with Kirsh's study and there is still an ongoing debate about effectiveness. [1] I am not a fan of prescribing so many people a drug that we don't know how it even works for what is often just a small improvement, but I don't think its accurate to say they are useless.

There really isn't a single "Swiss German" dialect. It is rather a family of dialects, and this family is again part of the larger family of "Alemannic German" dialects, which are spoken in most of southwestern Germany, Switzerland and western parts of Austria [0]. It is really very hard to clearly demarcate "Swiss German" from dialects spoken for example in the Black Forest, around the city of Freiburg im Breisgau, in Vorarlberg or even (historically) in Alsace. My own dialect is Swabian (also Alemannic), and I never had trouble understanding the local dialects around Basel, Berne or Zurich. It is easier for me to understand these Swiss German dialects than, for example, Bavarian dialects.

It is not a personal firewall. The purpose of a personal firewall is to inform and enable a user to see and approve each and every connection attempt. Standard Windows Firewall alerts users only on LISTEN, which makes it useless for this role. For a server though, Standard Windows Firewall is fully adequate.

I suspect SSRIs are prescribed because they are easy to prescribe.

I think they don't work because Depression, like Alzheimer's, is poorly defined.

From a population genetics perspective we can find clear genetic signals for other psychiatric disorders such as Schizophrenia, ADHD, etc. But Depression is notoriously difficult to identify any genetic signal for. Its my opinion that this is because Depression is more often a symptom of another psychiatric disorder and only rarely is the root cause just Depression itself.

Many folks with ADHD, Bipolar, or other "mild" disorders go undiagnosed and get the Depression label instead and this muddies the waters.
Half the nation is already functionally braindead, now we're defunding the other half? Good thing there isn't some giant nation with bottomless pockets ready to overtake us at the first opportunity.
This sounds like maybe this is an undergrad student? There's something called REU (Research Experience for Undergrads) that is issued in general to a university and then the university administers it to undergrads. But it is still a grant.

A lot of the concern is about how it's going to be used. Who is even asking for it? For what purpose? Are they even in the chain of command?

Also some positions don't really lend themselves to listing "accomplishments". E.x. what's the guy running the scanner at the airport supposed to write down?
I worked on chemical reactivity prediction based on statistical methods. Back then, it was not clear whether stat/ML methods would be able to predict chemical reactions, thus aiding drug discovery. I would like to think that my simple project's success contributed to the ML revolution we now see in the field :)

I also made another comment under this post about IR v Raman work I did. That work I have done is still relevant in the field, but I am hoping someone comes up with a better solution.

Thanks for your kind words!
> There's no point in going to university anymore when you can just go straight into big tech.

Assuming wanting to work at big tech is a goal, I'm not aware of any of the big tech companies recruiting for entry level roles outside of colleges. The "boot camp"/"hire anyone with a pulse" period was a ZIRP era anomaly.

Just finished playing through HL1 and HL2 again.. as I do every 3-5 years. Maybe it's all nostalgia at this point but I just love being in that universe. The familiar sounds of a crowbar on metal, a sliding door etc. I was never very good at the relentless keyboard gymnastics required for other FPSs so I fell in love with this game that had puzzles and varied pacing and felt like a movie.
Nope. It's just a full-time job. He's even in the state pension system for it. He graduated a couple years ago.
I suspect SSRIs would work a lot better if we could select a better cohort for them. My sister comment notes how depression can be a symptom of a more treatable/precise disorder and so Depression becomes a broad church of several disorders when they present mildly or are not diagnosed for some other reason.
That’s fair. Can I have it backup sync to iCloud so I’d lose my phone I can get a new one? I think that’s a usability vs. security risk we’re gonna have to be okay with. People aren’t going to be able to have multiple devices.
Is that a question for me, or for yourself?
Those of us in Europe who disagree with what the EU are doing? We quietly move to other more dynamic economies.

We are not the kind of people who stand on ideological soapboxes and discuss the state of regulation.

Those who remain in EU nations and put the EU on a pedestal? They merely manifest the survivorship bias of this political regime.
I believe particle colliders really overcome the forces and have the particles touch and annihilate. But sure, at our level it’s all normal low energy electromagnetic stuff and nothing every really touches anything else.

Had the exact same happen to a relative of mine. Their API key was compromised, Express Account were added with a bank account in Greece rather than the existing in France, these account didn't require any verification unlike accounts he added in the past, existing credits cards were billed hundreds of thousands when the entire account had not even half of that over years. Overall it's his fault for not properly securing the API key, but Stripe should have suspended the account when over 90% of the payments were failed charges and money was being moved to another country.
