> Companies like NSO can easily obtain access. It's not a safe system.

If NSO group develops exploits, why would they have early access?

Yeah, Roger is awesome. I bought a linnstrument recently, and he went to great effort to ensure some complicated shipping went flawlessly.

I also thought that DuckDB had acquired a company named Range. Interesting article regardless!

To me, the coolest is sqlx. It uses macros to do static type checking on plain SQL statements. It verifies types of bound parameters as well as results. It's async, which plays nicely with the leading web frameworks, etc.

LBJ's home office in Texas was preserved, and is still on display as-is to this day. On the couch is a pillow embroidered "This is my ranch, and I do as I damn please!"

The emacs support is great. I use emacs 'racer' and 'lsp' packages full time for development.

There are two popular emacs packages for rust-analyzer: lsp[0] and eglot[1]. lsp (language server protocol) package is the default for racer. Eglot has far more features and is correspondingly resource hungry.

Detailed type information has a super helpful impact on my ability to review Rust code in general. I find reviewing rust code much more productive when I can see what owns a variable, how long it lives, and how it's being used (immutable vs mutable). So yea, lsp or eglot. Super helpful.

Cool. It would be interesting to compare benchmarks the RPC latency under heavy load for pb-jelly compared to other RPC methods.

Rust has such great support for performant zero copy serialization and de-serialization in various formats (bincode, message pack, cbor, bson). Seeing this for protobuf feels very encouraging.

The antibody fits the spike protein like a lock and key. They key might fit other locks in humans with varying degrees of fit, on other cells in the body.

There are two such lock-and-keys on the antibody, the other key fits the immune system cells, that start a cascade that amplifies the immune response.

Even if it is a weak fit for an unintended target, the response can be an issue.

The performance and stability improvements in rust-analyzer over the last six months have been remarkable. Kudos to matklad and the whole team behind this. I'm using it full time now.

It's helpful to have a chance to see hard it is to obtain an increase in Google API rate limits. The documentations suggests one only needs to ask, so this clarification is very much appreciated.

I wonder why they didn't compare results for those that don't drink coffee at all?

Yea, for the first year of cub scouts with 5 year olds, that's the appropriate kind of activity that combines play, limited strength and skills, and allows you to mix in information about nature, society, arts, science, etc. That said, you also start camping the same year, with your parents, and transition to sharing tents with other kids over then next year or two. By the time kids are 10, they are running the boy scout troop, and the adults should be there just for support and advice. I put it this way: In cub scouts, the adults are at the front of the room. In boy scouts the adults are in the back of the room. In Venture/Explorer scouts, the adults are in the next room.

For cub scout camp directors, the plan must include daily scheduled periods of 'down time' during which scouts can play on open fields or playgrounds. For a four hour/day camp, this might be 30 to 45 min in the middle of the schedule. There's also free time before and after opening and closing ceremonies. The same is generally advised for meetings. Before a meeting, it's best to give them some time to blow off steam before having them sit for any length of time for anything structured. Making things fun is the best first step toward not only engaging them as individuals, but getting them engaged with each other. So yea, essential and well recognized by experienced scout leaders

Did you engage any experts to provide any written opinions or testimony about the technology? (just curious about whether this is a factor at all.)

Wow, Sapolsky's explanation of a various neurotransmitter mechanisms, starting with transmission across a neuron synapse, is simply beautiful.

Also, if metadata gets damaged, there is an option to roll back the filesystem to an earlier transaction using "zpool import -F".

Great point. This is the effect of a low base-rate.

To my ears, it's got a serious groove. Certainly very understated compared to Parliament/Funkadelic, but that's part of the charm.

This kind of FBI involvement predates DHS, and has been continued in part because of the way the programs evolved.

Much of the US critical infrastructure is owned and operated by private industry. For that reason, a collaboration between the FBI and private industry was formed in 1996, called Infragard [0]. Today, there are chapters in each of various regions of the US, each with an FBI coordinator who facilitates the communication between feds and local industry.

Your examples, compliance and audit, can be powerful in helping distill risk management issues and communicate them; however, also consider that, in high risk environments that doesn't make it incompatible with other forms of collaboration on risk.

Consider safety on oil rigs. There, collaboration on safety is a focal point of all-hands meetings every 12 hours.

Both top-down and bottom-up management can be effective, and a combination can be even more so.

Part 3 [0] discusses "Wrapping SSH traffic in HTTP over TLS." Can one comfortably do coding over a good cellular (LTE) connection over this?

I ask because, I find it relatively comfortable to do coding on a chromebook over a 'mosh' session over LTE.

Yes, the native android apps are a good solution - they perform far better.

One caveat however. The meta key is easier to map in the chrome app - for those using emacs for instance. 'External keyboard pro' may helps on android, but the setup is more complex.

Wow, thanks for the references. My experience was 10 and 15 years ago, and the newer dressings sound great.

Conclusions the first link: "silver sulphadiazine (SSD) was consistently associated with poorer healing outcomes than biosynthetic (skin substitute) dressings, silver-containing dressings and silicon-coated dressings".

Results in the second link: "Many dressings showed superior healing properties compared to SSD, but no dressing was able to show a clear benefit over SSD regarding infection. The number of dressing changes, pain and patient's satisfaction are more favourable in the newer dressings, especially with solid and biological dressings."

These were certainly the critical factors for me -- reducing pain made it easier to keep applied. Reducing number of changes is icing on the cake.

For deep burns, debriding the wound is an extremely painful process. If the biosynthetic or silica materials reduce that, it'd be a huge advantage.

Silver sulfadiazine 1% cream is a highly effective antibiotic for preventing infections in deep burns.

In my experience, while while the wound is open, this was the only cream that had no skin reactions, and that made it far easier keep it on 24/7. The cream kept air out, greatly reduced pain. Eliminating infection allowed more rapid healing.

I don't know whether it's prescribed today, but it was the only cream that was effective at both reducing pain, and speeding healing.

High Contrast is another option for chrome that changes only the text and/or background colors.
