>Auditors obsess over encryption at rest—from laptop FDE to databases’ security theaterish at-rest encryption—and over encryption in transit, usually meaning TLS.
Very hard to parse sentence. The monospace font means the em-dash isnt emmy enough, so I couldn't tell it apart from the hyphen on first, second, and third attempt. I wish people would put spaces around it, and to hell with what the style guide says.
The Russians are making incursions into Irish waters and airspace, it's just a brute fact. So either they play the game, or Britain plays it for them. They don't get to sit aloof above it all, that's not how reality works.
They are a protectorate in all but name, it's disgraceful.
Canada is in a similar situation. A lot of high-minded talk about peacekeeping and neutrality, but constantly benefitting from being implicitly protected by US defence policy. The real test will come if/when Russia decides to challenge Canadian arctic sovereignty.
No, it wasn't. Scientists at CERN used DVI and later PDF like everyone else. HTML has no provisions for typesetting equations and is therefore not suitable for physics papers (without much newer hacks such as MathML).
is this a regional/country thing? I'm 30 and I never got chickenpox vaxx, and I never heard of anyone getting such a thing growing up. but I also never heard of anyone getting chickenpox either when I was a kid. it just wasn't a thing? I only knew about it from american cartoons.
not an antivaxx community, people got MMR and HPV and tetanus vaxx. this was normalworld suburban britain. I didn't even know there was a chickenpox vaxx until now.
I think lots of kids in the USA got the MMRV vaccination when very young. MMRV stands for: • Measles • Mumps • Rubella • Varicella (Chickenpox). Apparently some places do the Varicella vaccine separately (VARIVAX?).
Over the last few years we have been discovering many diseases are secondary complications from viral infections, such as the linked study, or Multiple Sclerosis due to Epstein-Barr virus.
Perhaps that has rebalanced the cost/benefit analysis of some vaccines?
A childhood vaccine that prevents a percentage of dementia cases would be amazing!
I caught chickenpox as an young adult in the US. Recently paid NZ$700 to have shingles vaccination privately (NZ provides it free at 65; however I know many people that have had a hideous time dealing with shingles and I'd like to avoid that).
>People rarely read code in its entirety, like a novel. There is almost always a specific question they want to answer. It might be "how will it behave in this use case?", "how will this change affect its behaviour?" or "what change should I make it to achieve this new behaviour?". Alternatively, it might be something more high level, but still specific, like "how does this fit together?" (i.e. there's a desire to understand the overall organisational principles of the code, rather than a specific detail).
+1. For me the most frustrating one is "where is the core logic for this one user-visible feature actually implemented?"
You look in all the obvious places and it's just nowhere to be found. Or it's shredded into tiny pieces and scattered across multiple files and seventeen layers of inheritance ...
