I grew up watching foreign movies almost exclusively dubbed. French TV in the 1980s-2000s dubbed everything; it was nearly impossible to watch stuff with the original audio track. And I will say something that will probably surprise most of you: up until age 10-12 I never noticed the lips didn't match precisely the voices and I never even realized it was dubbed(!)

Even when I learned most of what I was watching was dubbed (there is so much American content on TV) it did not seem obvious to me. It certainly never bothered me. Maybe my brain subconsciously realized watching the lips was not giving out much information, so I learned to ignore lips.

Even today as an adult, if I don't know the actors and I watch a French dub, I am not able to instantly tell it is a dub. I have to watch carefully for at least 10-20 seconds to make a guess. Maybe this speaks more of the fact that French dubs are actually really well made (they will choose translations so that French word cadence matches the English word cadence). On the other hand I have watched other dubs, especially non-English movies dubbed in English, where it's blatant that they were dubbed and it is very distracting.

In any case, I always get a kick when I tell my American friends that I watched US content dubbed all my childhood and it never bothered me :-)
I thought I had heard that there were some details on CIA operatives, such as names that were mentioned in the chat as well. Is it possible there is more that Goldberg is still sitting on?

To some degree, paper does have those characteristics --- when one is folding it for binding, which is why books printed in signatures are more expensive, and actual sewn signatures even more so.
There’s a reason ‘may your hobby hit mainstream audiences’ is an insult. Foreign films are foreign because they don’t attract a mainstream (read: anglophone) audience. As soon as there’s mainstream money, clueless producers will decide that they want that mainstream money, and make changes to accommodate said audience. This ends up turning them into a slightly different flavour of Hollywood.
Wouldn't the massive increase in capabilities from adding 8MB-16MB of closely-integrated, fast RAM far outweigh the modest price increase for many applications that are currently memory-constrained on the Pico?

It is also important to keep in mind that there are two very different styles of FP one sees with Scala. Odersky et al envisioned ML on the JVM. And there is also a strong population of Haskell style FP.
As someone who set these up, I can tell you, the answer is rather simple:

- spammers have 1 system to set up in order to spam. They get it right.

- company admins have dozens of projects, of which this is a tiny one, with zero ROI to the bottom line (if people don't consider how critical security is). So they delay.

- companies often have dozens of systems integrated, when I set up DMARC/DKIM the first time for my company, a bunch of email tools broke, we had to do a bunch of leg work, took us a month end-to-end. The value was recognized when we almost lost 20k to a "ceo emails you" scam. But until then it wasn't a priority.

- we didn't even have a full IT, i just stepped in because I cared enough.

- my current company has a dedicated security team. These holes are plugged VERY quickly.

I've been following your blog for a while now, great stuff!
This reply is a perfect demonstration of my complaint:

"[Remainers] conflate predictions with reality, by assuming that because the NGO-academic class predicted economic doom it must have actually happened"

The report you cite it isn't showing a measurable negative impact of Brexit, although you brought it up as a rebuttal to that point. It's a modeling exercise in which the authors imagine a hypothetical world up to 2035, and then pick a long series of unvalidated assumptions which causes the UK's performance to diverge massively from that of the wider EU and prior trends. None of these assumptions are plausible:

• They admit that they did a similar exercise in 2018 which was wrong.

• On page 14 they even admit that they are being deliberately pessimistic.

• They assume an annual GDP growth rate of 4.3% suddenly starting in 2026. That's US levels of growth. Both the UK and the EU only grew at 1.4% last year.

Arguments of the form "I told Excel it will be bad and therefore it's bad" are invalid, but were exactly the strategy the Remain campaign used during the referendum. In the years that followed their predictions were all falsified. Anyone can pay some consultants to write a Word document about the future that imagines whatever the customer wants. Go ahead and imagine 4.3% GDP growth appearing out of nowhere, why not? Such reports aren't independent by any stretch of the imagination, and certainly don't show that anything bad has already happened.

Unfortunately, Sadiq Khan is a manipulator who understands the psychological weaknesses of his supporters very well. So this set of imaginings about the future gets presented in the present tense, with sentences like "London’s economy alone has shrunk by more than £30 billion". It hasn't. Go look at the actual data. It has "shrunk" vs the imaginary numbers in his report, which means nothing.

Predictions are not reality. Reality is reality. And in reality, there has been no measurable negative impact of Brexit, which is why people like Sadiq Khan are forced to make numbers up.
Yes, I've never considered worker skill (much less race) to be a factor in the low quality of mass-market items.

The mass production process and target price point seem much more relevant.

That said, mass production processes are also tailored (ahem) to allow specialization - it's doubtful that one person takes the garment from fabric bolts to completed garment as could happen in a bespoke, individual tailor context (though I'm sure custom garments are generally produced by teams of workers as well!)

So individual workers are likely to be very highly skilled in their individual specialty step and equipment, but may not have the range of production and design skill of a master craftsman.
Drunk on cost savings from moving production from factory to factory around the globe.
If you have the choice, always run single-mode. It’s infinitely more scalable than multimode and the price is on-par. Around here, SMF is currently cheaper.

SMF optics are single digit dollars more expensive than MMF optics, if you use third-party modules. And you might as well use them because your SP does. In my experience they’re better built and more reliable (longer lasting and lower failure rate. n=1000s of modules) than first-party Cisco optics.
Whatever happened to the Outer Space Treaty?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Space_Treaty
The social justice movement has focused on prisoners, and especially on reducing incarceration and allowing former prisoners to transfer back to society successfully.

The progressive DAs elected a few years ago prioritized decriminalization and deincarceration, and for formerly incarcerated, movements such as 'ban the box' (prohibiting employers to require info on past inceration) and restoring voting rights have also been priorities.

There's also focus on the 13th amendment of the Constitution, which has an exception for incarcerated people to be used for forced (slave) labor.

This is Elixir/Erlang/BEAM's core use case, the thing it was designed to do, coordinating and routing with failover and fallbacks a large number of realtime feeds. The original use case was phone calls, but other than the fact these video streams are much much larger per second, most of the principles carry over.

As much as I am a critic of the system, if this is your use case, this is out-of-the-box a very strong foundation for what you need to get done.

Kotlin's popularity plummets once you leave out android development, though. Same with Obj-c/Swift for Mac/iOS development.

5-8 years ago Scala had a large boost in data science/big data work as it was either it or Python for a lot of frameworks like Spark. We used Scala because we wanted static typing and threading (among other things) for our workloads.
Yeah, this is SvelteKit's biggest weakness. Easy to write code that seems to work until some unusual confluence of circumstances makes it run on the client when you've always tested it on the server, or vice versa, and it breaks. I still really like it for personal projects, but I think I'd want a clearer client-server separation for anything more complex.

Something I’ve joked about but also kind of depended on in my life: most, but not all, problems go away if you throw enough money at it.

For the last nine years, I’ve aggressively saved money because I don’t ever want to be in a situation where I cannot buy my way out of a problem. Cynical? Absolutely, but I live in the US.

I think this is terrible, but just because I don’t like it doesn’t change the fact that this is how it is at least for now.
> Trump asserted that nothing classified was in that group chat

It's kind of a scary "what if" had the administration denied the legitimacy of the thread from the start. This could have been drawn out into months of questionable digital forensics. Maybe they were worried another one of the unknown numbers in the thread would have come forward?
> If you're the plaintiff and you have evidence that supports your version of events, you give it all to the court. If you're the defendant and you have exculpatory evidence, or anything that shows that the case is frivolous, you give it all to the court.

Yes, but what if you're the plaintiff/defendant and the other party has evidence in your favor? How do you get it before the court? That is what discovery is for.

Honestly it just sounds like you had an easy case tried in China and a hard one tried in the US and are making some really broad assertions about the two legal systems based on a small sample size.
> A CIA spokesperson asked us to withhold the name of John Ratcliffe’s chief of staff, which Ratcliffe had shared in the Signal chain, because CIA intelligence officers are traditionally not publicly identified. Ratcliffe had testified earlier yesterday that the officer is not undercover and said it was “completely appropriate” to share their name in the Signal conversation. We will continue to withhold the name of the officer. Otherwise, the messages are unredacted.
Thank you...excellent examples. I think this is a conversation though that must be framed correctly. There's a balance between modern convenience, expense etc. and literally the harm we're possibly doing to our endocrine systems. Right now there seems to be very little real repercussions for companies and we have a bit of a corporate Wild West in play here. Surely that must change.
they will probably trickle this info out, the administration said that there was no classified information in the chats, so the atlantic are now free to publish these latest messages. The next step is for the administration to claim that there was nothing "operationally sensitive" in the messages, which will free the atlantic to release the next batch that contradicts that claim. Repeat.
> In addition to potentially simplifying configuration, having a daemon would allow system-wide dns caching, something I'd imagine would have been especially valuable back in the days of slow networks. Unix has daemons for everything else so that's why it feels odd that name resolution got baked into libc

Having a daemon would add complexity, take up RAM and CPU, and be unnecessary in general. There really weren't that many daemons running in the olden times.

DNS resolution is expected to be fast, since it's (supposed to be) UDP-based. It's also expected that there is a caching DNS resolver somewhere near the client machines to reduce latency and spread load (in the old days the ISP would provide them, then later as "home routers" became a thing, the "home router" provided them too).

Finally, as networks were fairly slow, you just didn't do a ton of network connections, so you shouldn't be doing a ton of DNS lookups. But even if you did, the DNS lookup was way faster than your TCP connection, and the application could cache results easily (I believe Windows did cache them in its local resolver, and nscd did on Linux/Unix)

If you really did need DNS caching (or anything else DNS related), you would just run Bind and configure it to your needs. Configuring Bind was one of the black arts of UNIX so that was avoided whenever possible :)
Thank you! We'll add that pressing the volume button will trigger mute/unmute (as opposed to just showing the slider)
A bit off-topic maybe: I really think the earlier film made by the same production team (Crazy Pictures), "The Unthinkable" [1], is a much better film than "Watch the Skies".

"Watch the Skies", IMDb rating 6.4

Sub Blocks – Manage subscriptions by how you feel about them
Im just using hashicorp vault, with a multi tier CA setup. Real CA is just a docker container that stays off 99.9% of the time, and the furthest branch intermediate lives on the actual vault instance, which is used to issue certs, among other things. As long as you add your CA chain to your system and browser, they get treated as valid. I even have long term certs in some places because i dont want to change them. Public CAs max at 1 year most of the time now. I issue certs for my internal domains, and public subdomains where im only the one to use it. I use LE for the real public things.
Something I have noticed over the last 20 years: Male underwear. The stuff I used to buy in the 1990's would function until it fell apart because of holes worn in the actual cloth.
The stuff I buy now (boxer shorts) appears designed to fall apart. Mainly, the rubber stuff making them elastic breaks down faster than anything else, so in about 12 months, they are horrible to use, because the broken rubber makes them slide off me, in a way that is more impractical than sexy.
Given that this was not a problem in the early 2000s, I conclude that some MBA must have optimized them in the meantime.
There is probably some brand that costs 4x as much where this isn't a problem - but those I used to buy in the nineties, didn't cost 4 times as much.

It's a great addition to vibe coding: people who can't code and don't want to learn can now write commit messages they won't understand. Do we really need LLMs and AI slop to write a few sentences now? What's next? LLMs to move the cursor of your mouse because it's too hard?
I warn everyone away from next.js. Unsurprisingly V0 has a real shot at massively increasing its adoption because people don’t know any better.

What are some salient counter points for choosing next.js? I see a lot of new devs not want to have to think about deployment and management of systems so that is one aspect. If you only know react I guess getting SSR without having to learn something else is a win at the cost of complexity in your codebase.

Anything else?

> And yes, code is at fault, but I’d expect ecosystem to help fixing it, but we have none. E.g. circular dependendencies in umbrella. You can have them. You can print them. There is no warning.

Can you reproduce this in any way? Because I cannot:

mix new parent --umbrella
cd parent
mix new apps/foo
mix new apps/bar

Now change `Foo.hello` to call `Bar.hello` and vice-versa. When you run `mix compile`, you will get warnings like this:

warning: Bar.hello/0 is undefined (module Bar is not available or is yet to be defined). Make sure the module name is correct and has been specified in full (or that an alias has been defined)

But of course, the `foo` and `bar` applications do not depend on each other, you can add explicit dependencies, such as `foo` depending on `bar` or `bar` depending on `foo`, but you always get warnings. And if you literally make it a dependency cycle, the app doesn't even boot:

** (Mix) Could not sort dependencies. The following dependencies form a cycle: foo, bar

Apps have to be compiled in order and one will by definition be compiled before the other, so it is really unclear how you could have those circular dependencies.

But even then, let's say that somehow you have an undeclared and undefined cycle between `foo` and `bar`. The point of umbrella projects is that each app can be compiled in isolation, so you should be able to go to `bar` and compile it in isolation without `foo`, and if it is trying to invoke `foo` somehow, it will be made visible.

So yes, I would need a way to reproduce this, because there are warnings and tooling in place to deal with those. Thanks!

> its generally agreed upon for the public internet, certs shouldnt have IPs in them

That's a bit of a stretch to say anyone agreed on not using IP based certs. Quite the contrary. It is present in RFC 5280 and SAN can contain an IP. It's just very rare to do that, but can be done and is done. Modern browsers and OSs accept it as well.

It's nice when you need to do some cert pinning to make sure there is not MITM eavesdropping, or for example on some onprem environments where you can't fully control workstations/DNS of you user endpoints, but still want to have your services behind certs that actually properly validate.
