I think if I can expect my mom to know what it is, I shouldn’t have to define it in articles any more.

So TLS and URL get a pass, BSD’s and MCP need to be defined at least once.

Does your mom really know what TLS means? I would guess that even "tech savvy" members of the general public don't.

Is there lock-in for Wiz customers, besides the quality of the product? I understand the crazy revenue growth, fastest to 100m ARR, but surely this needs to saturate. Maybe half the fortune 500 use Wiz,but can you imagine 100% or even 80%? Who are their competitors?

Soldered?

Figure out a way to make it unified without also soldering it, and you'll be a billionaire.

Or are you just grinding a tired, 20-year-old axe.

Like all intel/amd integrated graphics that use the systems ram as vram?

The Times shuttered dozens of blogs (all of them, I think?). It was kind of a big deal at the time.

Yes, but he is complaining about the change in policy on his Opinion articles.

> Note that this if-then statement is written backwards from how it’s written in English: the “then” part, the conclusion is written first, followed by the :- symbol. After the :- symbol come the premises

Why not write it like it’s written in English? It could be one less thing to learn for people trying to adopt the language.

The :- is supposed to sort of look like a left facing arrow for an implication. I think this notation started with prolog, so that is my guess why they chose to make it like this.

This is called a bootstrap circuit. It is basically positive feedback that changes the input impedance. You can see this sort of jfet circuit not only in trans-impedance amps, but also in a lot of audio circuits.

jonjojojon · 9 months ago
The modeling of unit systems with types is fraught with all sorts of inconsistencies and design tradeoffs. There are quantities that have the same dimensions, but shouldn't be compared or allow arithmetic between them. Many issues with Temperature scales and how to interpret differences in these spaces.

I think a pretty well thought out approach to this is the mp-units library in c++ that uses the ISQ(International System of Quantities) [1].

There are some great blog posts on their site about modeling units systems and dimensions. Fingers crossed it may even be added to the standard library in C++29.

I hate it too. I always prefer TOTP. I never said this isn't shitty. Just that for normal users, it's more secure than passwords.

I first saw this with Anthropic. I clear my browser pretty regularly and this flow just adds so much friction. With a password manager plus totp I never really felt burdened by logging in every time I used a service. I hope this doesn't catch on.

Not an expert, but I guess that simply enabling the firewall should avoid most problems related to this vulnerability. In Ubuntu, this can be accomplished with:

  sudo ufw enable

Thank you. I was also able to check that 631 is blocked by searching for it in output of sudo ufw show raw.

I am slightly confused. If I am using a linux laptop with cups do I need to do anything besides update? Is there a sane way to print from the linux desktop. I unfortunately need to regularly print, and often from public wifi.
