I made a little TUI app to monitor CC sessions and show you the commands. https://github.com/joshpearce/cc_session_mon

Seems like this would depend on some storage guarantees, but I can’t find anything about that

Sometimes I'm not sure what the point of these Mercator criticisms are. GDP per land area is kind of more interesting, in that if you have a lot of land, but not much money, then there are probably a lot of desolate or lawless areas. https://ssz.fr/gdp/

I was hoping to see an emacs macro operating a water pump or something.

Bad parenting is like water flowing, it doesn't need any particular justification in order to be enabled and find a way to manifest itself

Why not just break the ships up in Western countries then? For Western countries to impose their safety and environmental regulations on other countries is denying them their sovereignty. The whole system of growth of nations and their economies is built on the fact that developing countries don't have to play by the same rules until they want to, or they have something to lose (in a reciprocal fashion, like with IP rights). In a trade regime, they're supposed to be punished when they engage in mercantilism, not self-sacrifice.

This is rude for pretty obvious reasons.

It should also be obvious that maintaining two households is significantly more expensive than one. So excepting the cases where both parties reconstitute a household, these folks are on average poorer than their married counterparts in societies with minimal divorce. Further, the rate of failure to pay full child support in the US is high, like over 50%.

Yes, although later I learned I could do it in a one-liner. Here nixconfig is a folder with all my nix files:

  tar -czf - nixconfig | ssh 192.168.1.1 \
    'tar -zxf - && sudo cp -r ./nixconfig/* /etc/nixos/ && sudo nixos-rebuild --show-trace '"${rebuild_flag} ${name_flag}"

I built my router and NAS from NixOS. It was a mostly pleasant experience. Being able to sit in an IDE on my laptop, and build up a server, incrementally pushing changes to it, with rollback if necessary, was great, and I wouldn't want to go back to anything else.

I wrote about the router here. It's pretty heavy on router stuff, and my own thoughts though...

I'm finding that if I'm willing to wait a month, I can get the same crap From AliExpress for half the price. But if you know what to search for, you can find quality goods, VESSEL screwdrivers from Japan for instance.

Put them all in a room and play On Writing Well by William Zinsser.

Neat for trivia. TN and MO are tied at 8 for the most connected state.

I never knew what a flying buttress was. They sure are ugly. Makes the building look like a group of giant spiders.

I have my MacBook configured to never sleep and I leave Teams open on it. Even though the program is right there staring at me, if I work on another computer for a couple hours, after some time, Teams doesn't show me any incoming chats until I click on it, and then they flood in, showing me everything that I've missed.

People are forgetting we're a union of fairly sovereign states. In 1969, as you have today, some states allowed abortions, and other prohibited or restricted them. Thus it was decided democratically, as it is in most of the rest of the world. But when the federal government can come in and preempt state law, because the USA as a whole has a different idea, or in the case of Roe v. Wade, the unelected judges had a different idea, that is going to cause friction.

Also, the power of the federal government to impost laws on all states is highly controversial, and its history full of other supreme court cases carving out the definition.

You see the same friction with EU freedom of movement laws and immigration.

I prefer to mount a high-power fan in the bathroom window for demolition.

I agree on Iran but this is different. We could have sold steel and fuel to the Germans and Japanese in WW2, but we didn’t because they were engaged in something evil.

So we got it wrong with the sanctions then. We should actually be providing economic stimulus to Russia right now

"It’s like a doubling up. The homeowner goes to buy the next home, move up or move down. And because mortgages are so cheap, it’s a really good time to keep the first one as a rental unit. And so each year I go to buy a next one and I keep my first one. And so that’s one big phenomenon. And all of a sudden I’m a real estate investor. And at the same time, institutional money’s been cheap. There’s a lot of news about the big private equity funds buying up homes, but it’s actually the individuals who are driving most of it. So in the last decade we’ve taken 8 million homes out of the resale cycle and moved them into the investment rental part of the pool. And that’s, you know, 9% of all the single family homes."

This tells me that home seekers should be making offers to landlords rather than wasting their time making cold offers for people's primary residence. I bet a lot of those small time landlords are nervous about cash flow, and you could find one that's ready to get out.

Thanks! That's wild!

In a year when Geico is giving their customers an across the board rebate on their premiums because driving miles are down so much, and driving accidents are the third or fourth leading cause of death in a non-pandemic year, I think we'd need to adjust downward the baseline. I wonder if these calculations take that into account?

The online editor is nice when you're in a hurry. PlantUML can also be hooked up into emacs org mode for inline diagrams. I've just been using the online editor to snag pngs to embed in google docs, then I upload the source diagram text as a separate file in the folder, or paste it in as appendix.

Nice overview of the crypto.subtle apis, but I'm not sure about some of the use cases.

>Multi-factor Authentication >Sometimes, hackers can steal users’ passwords. So, even if these passwords are hashed or encrypted in the database, it can’t stop them from accessing a user’s account. To make sure that someone who’s accessing an account is the true owner, applications allow multi-factor authentication. >Rather than using transport-layer authentication, such as TLS client certificates application can use suitable client keys which may have been previously generated via the user agent like multifactor tokens.

I could not follow this part. With FIDO, you have should have a Trusted Platform Module or Hardware Security Key to store the secret key, but I'm not sure what is being suggested here.

In the section on "How to deal with man in the middle attacks", there is no mention of TLS 1.3, which would be the #1 thing on my list.

I agree with others here, that JS Crypto is shaky because you still need to trust the server not to give you compromised JavaScript. TLS and the Same Origin Policy are designed to sort of bridge the security boundary of the server up into your browser page. In this scenario, just offload the crypto to the server.

The stuff I see coming out of MITRE for cyber security... is that a place anyone who could work at a Valley startup, would actually want to work at?

That would be a great aftermarket product to hook up Nest to portable air conditioners.

Howdy, It's funny, I'm actually the worst person to ask about Raleigh meetups. My interest is more in finding excuses to never actually go to a meetup. If you need help there, I'm your man.

How much source code was committed in that span? Time to audit it all. Plus the binaries and other resources that are pulled off network shares at build time. Plus the compilers...

Weird that non-surfers don't want clothes with a comfortable range of motion. I buy pants from REI just to be comfortable while sitting at my desk writing code.
