Citation needed. Because of the glut of degrees, many jobs now use a college degree as a filtering mechanism. This is not at all indicative that a degree is needed to be successful at the job. Likewise some professions do the same. A doct

NB Security practitioners typically never say “auth” due to the ambiguity; we typically say “authN” or “authZ” for clarity, or use the actual terms authentication and authorization.

I’ve been using PillPack since before they were acquired by Amazon Pharmacy, and love them. If you have several prescriptions and especially if you have to take different medicines at different times of the day, you can save a lot of time a

Lots of companies do not want to deal with the cleanup of capital-intensive projects that have outlived their usefulness. For example, windmills for power. Now governments are starting to require bonds for disassembly and removal before a

How is this different than say, searching stack overflow for a command or chain of commands? You still have to enable the feature, and you still have to hit enter. If you are running commands in a privileged terminal then you ought to alrea

I’ve been thinking recently that a lot of the pathologies in tech work culture come from the fact that a lot of the most successful tech executives are “wunderkinds” - people who have an extremely rare combination of incredible talent AND i

Pretty cool, but the license is pretty toxic to commercial adoption. I would suggest also licensing under MIT, BSD or Apache if you want this to ever achieve any widespread usage. Unfortunately you are competing against SSH which has a ma

In the US, the vast majority of legislators are lawyers. Lawyers have their own “unions” (eg the American Bar Association”). I can definitely see this kind of protectionism occurring. OTOH, I also see potential for a proliferation of law f

This was an excellent article describing how they broke down a complex task that an LLM was bad at, into a series of steps that the LLM could excel at. I think that this approach is probably broadly applicable across law (and perhaps medic

I see the feedback here is overwhelmingly negative. My biggest problem is that it’s too narrowly targeted. I have worked for several US businesses with global footprints and working with China (and some other countries) required whole or pa

I think you are overthinking things. Of course most of the human beings on planet earth do not perform some kind of philosophical analysis. However most people actually have an intuition of what it is like to be human and apply it unconsci

For most people it is a very important part of ethics. Most people would consider it unethical to boil alive a being with a sense of self and the ability to feel pain, but are perfectly happy to do that to things that don’t have those char

Why would I use Blocky vs. Pi-Hole? It seems like a nice project but pi-hole is really mature; I'd love to see a feature comparison or a brag sheet showing what it's better at.

PiHole has an API that can be used to enable and disable the ad blocker. I have a bunch of home automation set up, and through the use of HomeBridge and a plug-in I have a button in my Apple Home app on my iPhone to enable or disable the ad

The article is followed at this moment with an article titled “SBF’s Parents are Heartbroken” with a picture of his parents where both are unhappy, outside in the rain under umbrellas. I wonder if they considered their role? I haven’t seen

I made a math error but couldn’t correct it after I had votes - 15kts for 4min = 1 nm.

True. The main reason I keep calling it a wing is to reinforce the concept that it works by producing lift.

To your last point - sailboats move in response to the sum of the forces on them. Most sloops are designed to make it easy to balance the forces of the jib and the main, so that the center of effort is near the center of mass. If the sail

For laypeople and casual sailors, thinking of the rudder as just redirecting water is good enough. But water and air are both fluids and the same aerodynamic/hydrodynamic rules apply. A rudder on a boat or airplane is symmetrical in cr

Moving large boats across water is slow. The Francis Scott Key bridge was 8600 feet long, or 1.4 nautical miles. AFAICT there were just over 4 minutes from the time that the first power outage started until the ship struck the piling. A mo

Yes, it was expected. Ports have "channels", essentially traffic lanes. Until the first power failure, the Dali was in the proper lane and would not have collided with anything if she had remained there.

It's complicated. The rudder is a wing, it's just vertically oriented and underwater. The rudder is capable of stalling, just like any wing. The rudder only produces lift related to the flow of water over the rudder. The lift pro

For issue #3, it might also be a good idea to have a maxdepth mechanism in gradients that point to other gradients; this would be a defense in depth control vs some error or limitation in your “have I seen this reference before” logic. I’m
