AZ-X/README.md

Hi there 👋

You found a secret! AZ-X/AZ-X is a ✨special ✨ repository that you can use to add a README.md to your GitHub profile. Make sure it's public and initialize it with a README to get started.

The README.md is hijacked by AZ-X nominally and now it is like a time-based mini blogs or collection of twitter style moments or the arts of quoting representing the edge of ambient past and future.

You are going to look into a shared secret between AZ-X and gitlab/github/gitsub/gitpub. To confirm this, go ahead.

Trust the sites, there seems lots of fun when reading.
To practice a deep drill of time, press git log.

On Apple's iOS, he didn't even need to reverse engineer the encryption because there effectively was 'none' on the device (though it was encrypted when in transit).

There's only little public documentation about the AOP. All chips and various embedded devices Apple manufactures run a real-time operating system, called RTKitOS. The AOP on the iPhone is no exception. However, the AOP has a special role. It connects to almost every other chip in the iPhone. For some chips, it only does basic tasks like power management, and for other chips, it acts as a transparent proxy that wakes up iOS when needed.
The bag may help with some exfiltration routes, but it can store locations and other info and upload it when it gets a signal back.
Then just turn it off in Settings.

When two alleles, or copies of a gene, within an asexual diploid individual evolve independently of each other, they become increasingly different over time. This phenomenon of allelic divergence was first described by William Birky, but is more commonly known as the Meselson effect.
Putatively ancient asexual species pose a challenge to theory because they appear to escape the predicted negative long-term consequences of asexuality. Although long-term asexuality is difficult to demonstrate, specific signatures of haplotype divergence, called the “Meselson effect,” are regarded as strong support for long-term asexuality. Here, we provide evidence for the Meselson effect in an asexual mankind species, The Brothers 3D - Day/Dawn/Dusk and suggest that they can escape the dead-end fate usually associated with asexual reproduction.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, with conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand a mighty woman with a torch, whose flame is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles.
From her beacon-hand glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command the air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she with silent lips.
"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

That's probably true (would be interested in seeing a source), but yeah let's just not forget that a huge portion of the most educated and successful people in the world would also want to move to America if given the opportunity.

Shapeshifters are inorganic, human hybrids from the 'Alternate Universe'.
Shapeshifters, in their very first state, resemble humanoid monsters with mucus covered skin, partially exposed ribs, and misshapen heads.
The technology also allows transfer of memories and experiences from the victims, allowing them to take the place of their victims without raising suspicion.
This also allows the shapeshifters to attain skills that were learned and attributes from their victims aswell such as changing clothes in just a few seconds or shedding their bodies to make clones.

The best way to know if land is truly undiscovered is to seek words to describe it. When you can't, you know it's virgin land.
Untouched by our dirty hands. To see it is to be silenced by it.
Made speechless by its endless uniformity...

To crest a rise is to see another that is identical. One must read the sun and stars like a sailor to navigate this place.
We've seen nothing but grass for over a week:
no game,
no birds,
no snakes,
not even a lizard, and no evidence the human race still exists.

People think because it's where rain comes from, clouds are filled with water. But how can that be? How can water float above us then fall, as though gravity only applies to the sky when the sky lets it.
But that would mean the sky thinks and clouds are alive and they decide to let it rain.
But how do they decide where to rain? And when...
Why do clouds choose to flood one place and deny another until the earth cracks and field becomes desert?

MediaTek and Qualcomm, the two largest mobile chipset manufacturers in the world, used the ALAC audio coding in their widely distributed mobile handsets, putting millions of Android users' privacy at risk

In late 2011 Apple made the codec open source. Since then, the ALAC format has been embedded in many non-Apple audio playback devices and programs, including Android-based smartphones, Linux and Windows media players and converters

Since then Apple has been updating the proprietary version of the decoder several times, fixing and patching security issues, but the shared code has not been patched since 2011

In addition, an unprivileged Android app could use these vulnerabilities to escalate its privileges and gain access to media data and user conversations

Check Point's customers remain fully protected against such threats while using Harmony Mobile Security.

GitLab vs GitHub: Which is right for you?

  • While moving your project from one to the other is very feasible, it's never a good experience having to move platforms. Making the right choice at the right point in time can save you many work hours.
  • There are clear advantages to both, but whether you go with the well Established GitHub or the emerging GitLab, you're getting a platform that has most, if not all, of your needs, covered. Albeit possibly to different degrees and at different price points.

You cannot solve social problems ("how do i know I can trust Z") with technology.

meta-code-verify is itself vulnerable to the trust chain. You trust Mozilla/Chrome not to alter the version you install from their store. You trust that GitHub isn't going to pull a swifty on you, or Facebook. You trust that the server hosting the append only log hasn't been unknowingly compromised, or the interpreter, or your machine, etc. ad nauseum.

Indeed, you trust in your computer to display the right hash, and to compare them correctly.

Everyone is pretending to be hard at work tippy-tapping away, writing, wrangling, and working on brand new code to build a bright future.

There's no place in the world that is exempt from this. So you could either move to Mars and hope the Elon doesn't do things like everyone else, or you can try to effect change here, but it's an uphill battle.

There's no battle between you and your pets accurately.

Evil Never Sleeps:
When Wireless Malware Stays On After Turning Off "the mobile"

Note that LPM described in this paper is different from the energy saving mode indicated by a yellow battery icon.

The Bluetooth and UWB chips are hardwired to the Secure Element (SE) in the NFC chip, storing secrets that should be available in LPM.

Since LPM support is implemented in hardware, it cannot be removed by changing software components.

LPM is significantly more stealthy than a fake power off that only disables the screen.

The ROM is readable with a vendor-specific Host Controller Interface (HCI) command supported by all Broadcom chips. We use InternalBlue to send such HCI commands.

Firmware is patched temporarily in RAM. Broadcom calls this mechanism Patchram, and it has been documented within the InternalBlue project.

40% of Goose users now connect via IPv6

15 hours ago:
On a local link, if you know the ipv6 address of one machine you can guess others by getting their device ID (MAC address) and then modifying the known address. So you can use neighbor discovery to find the other MAC addresses to craft the IP addresses.
I think you can also take advantage of router advertisement or client solicitations somehow but I'm not familiar with the details (i.e. passive listening on multicast vis a vis broadcast)

Firewalls are more complex on IPv6 (you need to pass a bunch of ICMPv6 through, to make it work), and some residential routers have very bad or even zero firewall support for ipv6, so your devices, that would otherwise be "protected" (not really) by NAT are now directly visible to everyone on the internet.
This usually isn't also become a problem for power users (who knowjust think they know how to set up and (re)confgure a firewall) nor for most basic users (windows firewall does that for them), but people "in the middle", who install some service and just fully disable the OS's firewall to be able to connect to it, are now vulnerable.

There are inter- relationships between privacy and security however. You can't maintain good privacy unless you have a secure platform, and what is the point of security if you cannot maintain privacy?

Note that creating a US region AppleID now hard requires a phone number that can receive SMS to create it, in addition to an email address. An AppleID is required to install any apps on an iPad or iPhone. I think creating a Ukranian region Apple ID does not require a phone number and can install all global apps. Many popular apps (but fortunately not Signal) are published only in specific App Store regions (such as US). Note also that signing in to the App Store will now silently enable iCloud. It has to be disabled explicitly again.

People don't generally bother hiding under a towel while changing into their swimwear.
And there are no laws prohibiting public nudity in Denmark, so it's normal to see topless women sunbathing along the harbor that runs through the city or people skinny-dipping at the beach.

This apparent retreat from public nudity is not isolated to Denmark.
Among French women, topless sunbathing has been steadily falling out of fashion for years; its popularity reached a nearly 40-year low in 2021.

It's harder to gauge how things are trending in the United States, where the push during the early 1970s to legalize nudity on public beaches was far less successful than it was in Europe.
On the other hand, many of the nude beaches that were around in the U.S. in their heyday no longer exist, says Mark Storey, a staff writer and consulting editor at Nude & Natural magazine who's spent the past 20 years writing about clothing-optional settings.
It seems like the gender ratio has gone from nearly 50–50 to more than 95 percent males in some places.

Those that remain seem to be drawing a very different crowd than they did in the 1970s.
Back then, nude beaches attracted the “less-moneyed youth” who couldn't afford a private nudist club but could manage the often-treacherous climb down to the isolated stretches of beach where nudity was tolerated.

In the decades before the internet, even busy public nude beaches allowed for an element of privacy. Stephen L. Harp, a history professor in Twentieth-Century France: “In the 1950s, on the Île du Levant, someone with a camera would have it seized, and the film removed and used as tree decoration,”
Anything that happens in a public setting can easily find its way to a global audience on the internet, a reality that may make internet-savvy Millennials and Gen Zers more cautious about stripping down.

“Their bodies are always on display, and they're always a potential commodity. It's hard to be born into that environment and then envision this world where you're freed of it.”

And, it must be said, the internet is chock-full of nudity.

Absolutely true; but, for example, YouTube search results also employ a variety of finely tuned parameters that uprank or downrank certain videos, with zero transparency or oversight. YouTube Trending and Twitter Trends are heavily editorialized, and nothing shows up before it is manually approved by an employee. You might have even seen Twitter "trends" that, when you click on them, only show you 5 tweets by a single verified Twitter account, and nothing else; no discussion is shown. Twitter Search results (the "Top" tab) show popular tweets mixed in with 60-likes tweets, to prevent you from accurately gauging "the mood" or the predominant opinion. These companies feel perfectly entitled to decide what you'll see.

We sell financial services in a developing country. We're not a mobile app—we're just a mobile-first website (a common gripe on HN is 'there's too many apps, just make a website'. Well, we're one of them).

We need to be able to get in touch with our customers for transactional purposes (changes to their account, delivery notifications, login links, that sort of thing). Our customers don't have email. SMS gets filtered at the phone level (and uses untrustworthy, shared numbers). The only option is WhatsApp.

Most of the world does not have a computer, they have a phone. So at this point it's either WA or a native app + push notifications. Which would you prefer?

Just for reference, facebook has pretty strict guidelines for sending unsolicited messages.

In order for us to send you an unsolicited message, that message must use a preapproved template. Those templates are not supposed to be used for marketing purposes (although it's easy enough to craft a seemingly transactional template that is actually marketing). And there's also some cases that are a bit of a gray area.

However, in our experience, users are brutal flagging spammy messages as spammy, and facebook has pretty strict deliverability rules. If your quality drops, your messages stop being delivered. They deliver eyeballs.

Many hardware companies still see software as just another line item on the BOM: Like a screw or a gasket. It's something you build cheaply or buy from a supplier and sprinkle it on the product somewhere on the assembly line. These hardware companies have no concept of typical measures of software quality, building an ecosystem, release management, sometimes even no concept of source control. They tell an overworked embedded software engineer: "Go build something that barely meets these requirements, ship it, and then throw the scrap away." like metal shavings from their CNC machine.

an hour ago:
I'm always amazed at how badly embedded programming and C++ programming in general pay compared to the others you mention like Python & Ruby. A good C++ programmer has to know a whole lot more (and be careful about a whole lot more) than a Python or Ruby programmer does. C++ is well known to be a complicated beast - probably the most complicated programming language in existence with plenty of footguns. And an embedded developer needs to know a lot about both software and hardware.

I did a few a few months of contracting at a major voting machine company. They make a significant portion of all US voting machines. They had 4 developer teams Firmware (C++ where I was), UI (web tech on a voting machine), poll book (java), and a web/support team. Before I was hired in a massive influx of contractors each team was something like 3~5 people, except UI which was a new team with the contractor hiring spree.
After the work was done, they shed nearly all the contractors and about half of their previous full time employees. Just quadrupled their staff to make a voting machine then fired them all.
They hired me as an "Embedded Software" on their Firmware team. It was a total shitshow we didn't have unit tests or CI. The new hires insisted on it and I spent a bunch of time maintaining a Jenkins setup for the team that really helped.
The pay wasn't great, a little less than defense contracting, which was a little less than insurance companies and slow finance companies.
If that is what most embedded development is like then I see why it is brings the average down.

    Programmer's, Businesses and Government(s) want C++ to be safer and simpler. This has led some C++ programmers to create new programming languages or preprocessors, which again is a new language. This paper discusses using static analysis to make the C++ language itself safer and simpler.
    The C++ Core Guidelines identifies issues that this feature helps to mitigate.
    The beauty of this proposal is it does not and it does remove features from C++. Like the standard library, it allows programmers to refrain from using the most troublesome C and C++ features.

If I recall, back when HeartBleed hit, the OpenSSL Project only had 1 FTE worth of paid developers & managers working on their code.
Wikipedia claims that (as of 2019) they have 2 FTE's worth, plus a dozen or so volunteers...who are a big overlap with their management committee. And their total budget is < $1M/year.
Not to suggest that volunteer coders are automatically lesser coders...but for widely-used, uber-critical, uber-complex code, that sounds pretty profoundly under-resourced.

Edit: Adding the full quote from Wikipedia: "As of May 2019, the OpenSSL management committee consisted of 7 people and there are 17 developers with commit access (many of whom are also part of the OpenSSL management committee). There are only two full-time employees (fellows) and the remainder are volunteers."
It looks like there are 27 contributors with over 50 commits since Heartbleed was revealed

A good question is whether Apple violated privacy laws like GDPR with the use of this identifier combined with the description of the device analytics opt-out.
An answer to that question is well outside my expertise.

But it is extremely limiting to avoid using features without associating with that identifier.

Generally, the Introspector does not always work perfectly and is easy to break - it's a static analysis tool so it gets confused by function pointers and cannot infer anything that happens at runtime, like when your code is heavily using C++ classes or a hashtable for lookups.
In case of X.509 code, however, it may work fine - function pointers are mostly used by the ASN.1 code for its internals (which we actualy do NOT want to fuzz or review in most cases) whereas the core top-level logic is reachable by direct function calls from the entrypoint - a good candidate for static analysis.

This phone verification shit is so awful. I have two friends who moved overseas and disconnected their cellphone plans without thinking about their MFA situation.
Today I have to enforce MFA at the small company I'm working at, and just a month prior I held a cybersecurity seminar for them and explained that "phone MFA is… okay… but you should really use verification apps." But I didn't realize that you can't even enable authenticator-app-MFA with goose without doing it through a phone first… just infuriating.

17 hours ago:
Yup. You have to enable it, add property MFA, then disable it.
Because goose knows best.

Can we please ban these sorts of posts? This isn't news. People's news feeds are not the place for individual tech support problems. Take it to the goose community forum.

This is a web forum, not a news agency. And I personally find the discussion on these sorts of posts interesting and informative.

When team leads asked why we had to do this, World of Warcraft directors explained that while they did not agree, the reasons given by executive leadership were that it was important to squeeze the bottom-most performers as a way to make sure everybody continues to grow.
This sort of policy encourages competition between employees, sabotage of one another's work, a desire for people to find low-performing teams that they can be the best-performing worker on, and ultimately erodes trust and destroys creativity.

But Blizzard management chose to fire Brian Birmingham, leaving the WoW Classic team short one of its most public-facing devs.

As Bloomberg notes, while stack ranking is employed at some tech companies, its obvious toxicity has led others to abandon it – including Microsoft, which is still angling to finish its purchase of Activision-Blizzard this summer.

Dear readers,

After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview will be closing in the near future. This difficult decision is part of the annual operating plan review that our parent company shared earlier this year.

The site will remain active until April 10, and the editorial team is still working on reviews and looking forward to delivering some of our best-ever content.

Everyone on our staff was a reader and fan of DPReview before working here, and we're grateful for the communities that formed around the site.

Thank you for your support over the years, and we hope you'll join us in the coming weeks as we celebrate this journey.

Sincerely,

Scott Everett General Manager - DPReview.com

After one of upgrades I've discovered that I have no enough space for additional packages I've used in the past and that's how I've learned that it become significantly bigger over the time. Though it still very impressive that developers managed to trim Linux to be usable on routers with small flash (8Mb in my case) given how huge the mainline kernel and how fast it grows.

It appears goose abandoned CECPQ2 support recently. Sigh. Although CECPQ2 enhanced DoT from goose has been used by repique for years, it just goes for very little.

Drop HRSS assembly. on Jan 26

Update X25519+Kyber ID.

Define a NID for P-384 + Kyber768.

We do not expect to support this combination, but other consumers of BoringSSL may choose to.

Add hybrid post-quantum key agreement.

The hybrid post-quantum key exchanges uses plain X{25519,448} instead of HPKE, which we assume will be more likely to be adopted. The order is chosen to match CECPQ2.

What's so special about these swords? What do they do?
It depends.
On what? What about a tall, strong, brave man like me?
The demons of the forest who had taught him their dark powers and trained him in their lethal arts of killing.
They say only demons have the power to see past a witch's disguise.
Where did you learn to fight like that? From demons.
Yet we found you, accepted you, trained you. We taught you many things.
And now you're here to help them. They are good men.

I look out upon my friends here today and I see...songs...no muse could ever sing or dream of.
But I turn to thee and I see what? I recognize but I do not know thee.
I say this not in reproach, but regret that I have never asked you to sit at my side before this day or upon my knee when thy was newborn.
But now it is Christmas, and I wish to build bridges.
So before we make merry... you make for me a gift.

Look around you, What do you see?
I see legends.
Do not take your place amongst them idly.
KING: Hmm.

You understand this challenge?
I do. I think I do.
Remember, it is only a game.
I need a sword. I need...I need a sword.
Have at me, Green Knight.

I never said I was a knight.
But are you?
No! No, I'm not.
Oh.Hmm.

I dare say every table in this land has heard of you and sung your song.
Perhaps you think that I am something I'm not.

Should not a knight offer a lady a kiss in thanks?
Surely a knight knows something of love.

Why is he green, do you think?
The knight?
Yes.
Was he born that way?
Perhaps it is the color of his blood when he blushes.
But why green? Why not blue or red?
Because he is not of this earth.
But green is the color of earth, of living things, of life.
And of rot.Yes.

That is why a knight does what he does.
And this is what you want most in life? To be a knight.
No, honor.
You are not very good with questions.

You are no knight.

It's not used by DNS root servers because it's designed to secure communications between clients and caches, not between caches and authoritative servers. ( * > * )
Ignoring the additional latency it comes with, virtually no home routers nor operating systems do.

Dboy only have a fashionable Mac and he has no idea how Windows and Android work.
Dboy never heard DNSpooq which can be triggered by the irony of configuration.

So we are still not securing the authoritative part.
Or did I miss something in the chain of trust?
Zero Trust

They are protecting against the wrong attack. MitM is mostly theoretical. An irresistable G*T order (supplemented with people holding guns) for the DNS provider to insert the "correct" _acme-challenge record is something real, and DNSSEC makes this attack impossible.

Those same people with guns can also force your registrar to request removal of the DS record. Or in the case of ccTLDs, the people with guns might already control your TLD operator and can just answer the acme-challenges themselves.

DNS-over-HTTP requires time sync, the usual CA problems and it only works for the resolver to the client, it's not used for authoritative servers.
I had exactly the same issue happening to me! I’ve since added a Real Time Clock (RTC), so the Pi shouldn’t forget about the current time anymore.
I run the signing systems for a bunch of TLDs and honestly it scares me.

When a topic spreads, story makers, RTC geeks, bloodchain believers and halo fellows come to a climax.
Although they never draw recursive conclusions.

One tip: template metaprogramming can consume your life. Avoid it, but use templates sparingly; they do simplify code, especially for vector types.

The key with C++ zen is “all things in balance.” You can go too far with basically every aspect of the language. And it’s important to go too far, so that you know why not to.

I guess you are hinting at Telegram, but... a lot is known about its founder, his brother, the team and their priors, including but not limited to the costly standoff with Russian state authorities.

Its cryptography may be reinvented from smaller primitives that established cryptographers may like, but it's been tried and battle-tested for many years now.

Snowden repeatedly demonstrated and Navalny team publicized in their investigations, meta-data is often more important than data. And many of us trust Telegram more to not reveal meta-data than they trust Signal.

Do you use Windows 3.1? NO~
Do your friends send you jokes and haikus written by ChatGPT, and make you feel left out? NO~
Do you wish you had the sum of all human knowledge at your fingertips? NO~
Or wish you had your very own AI chatbot on your trusty 386? NO~

Every time an object file hit that limit, the compilation would fail with "Segment too large". In particular, internal.c file is a whopping 1.25MB (too large for even GitHub to render)
This was the most agonizing and time-consuming part of this whole process

Using the Shell Common Controls in Windows 3.1 can be a bit tricky due to its older architecture and limited capabilities, but it's certainly doable.
However, there are a few complications to note:

  1. Windows 3.1 does not natively support the status bar as a control. Status bars are part of the Common Controls library introduced in Win32, specifically, it was introduced in Windows 95 with COMCTL32.DLL. Windows 3.1 is a 16-bit environment and does not include this library.
  2. If you want a status bar in a Windows 3.1 application, you'll have to draw and manage it yourself.
  3. Windows 3.1 programming is largely obsolete. It can be a fun academic exercise or a necessity for maintaining legacy software, but if you're developing new software it would be much more practical to use a more modern version of Windows and its associated API.

Assuming that you still want to go ahead, here's a basic idea of how you might implement a status bar yourself:

Maybe Bob would be a good fit too.
Bob looks an awful lot like Bill Gates.

I have this impulse to constantly experiment with everything too. And I think it's healthy for your brain to always be learning new ways and testing your preconceived notions of how you do things. A lot of times it leads to incremental advances, either in the next iteration of my existing code or the way I approach my next project.

But a lot of it, I can admit, boils down to sheep shaving. When you start figuring out how you'd implement codebase 2009 in stack 2023, and then actually doing it, that's golf. It's all good, it's educational, but it's downright immoral to sell that to a client and drag them through it.

I'm not young, yet I don't find any of this all that bad.
Maybe I'm an outlier, but I see refactoring and learning new tools as just keeping the blade sharp. Migrating to new frameworks, tools, etc. is just superficially iterative. I've yet to see some kind of massive paradigm shift blow me away and stress me out.

The sad thing is that in many cases working on such a system is a career killer. Nobody wants to hire you. Some years ago a colleague and I realized that our company wouldn’t hire us judging from the job descriptions because we worked on systems that had been working for years but weren’t shiny. Since then I always something new to every project. Not because it makes sense but because it’s good for the resume. Other groups are even worse. Three devs writing 13 micro services on Kubernetes for maybe a thousand users ever.

I maybe feel nostalgic, but the old ui is so much... Better :)

Mom taught me the basics (which vegetables become softer the soonest, how to rid a pepper of seeds, how to "clean" a chicken), everything else just went on from there. I started reading about it and watching some videos about basic concepts, such as how to manage fonds, pan sauces, proper meat temperatures...
My picks for videos were Marco Pierre White, Alton Brown, Adam Ragusea and Kenji Lopez-Alt for the most part, especially because they have a "scientific" approach to it, explaining why things are done rather than just telling you to do it. That way, you understand what you're doing and how you can adapt a recipe to your tastes.
I read "Salt Fat Acid Heat" and plenty of other books that focus on the "whys" of cooking, but "Salt Fat Acid Heat" has to be the one I reference the most.
However, the most important thing that I was taught, by my mom, early on, is patience. A lot of dishes just don't end up well if you rush it, use higher temperatures than supposed to, and so on. Some mistakes in cooking can be fixed just by "cooking it off" or waiting, especially with sauces, soups and in some particular cases, meats. In the beginning, I burnt some pancetta ends and ended up undercooking chicken breasts by not using lower temperatures.
The second thing that I learnt that I apply to most cooking, is that alcohol solves a lot of issues. Balsamic vinegar (even the cheap imitation ones) brightens up sauces that cooked for too long, wines/cognacs/vinegar deglaze pan fonds and help you manage the thin line between a lovely golden crust and burnt fond, white wines bring a degree of refreshment to "summery" dishes that is simply unbelievable, and above all, if you are patient, you're able to rid cheap vinegars and wines of their acidness/sourness by cooking them. This is why I avoid applying alcohol over the item that is being cooked. Instead, I follow the perimeter of the pan so it can seep underneath and cook off.

So I'm an early Gen X'er, and was one of the "latchkey kids". My mother had a horrible work schedule, my dad liked food but rarely cooked (mostly meat). Home-cooked food was usually throw-it-on-the-table sheet pan or one-pot dinners, made with exhaustion and anger. Occasionally, there'd be holiday and party trick dishes - fancier rolls, cakes, roasts, or sides that my mother kept to herself in the kitchen. We got carryout or ate in restaurants pretty often, so I had some sense that there was a world of cooking outside what I could taste at home.
We had some fruit trees and berries, so I learned to make jellies, jam, applesauce, and pie filling. As far as feeding myself when the folks weren't home, I could make sandwiches, boil oatmeal, cook boxed pasta and canned soups, scramble eggs or make omelettes, and cut up vegetables to put a salad together. We still had a couple of Home Ec classes in school, so I could bake cookies and box-mix cakes. But not much else until I moved out.
I lived in a vegetarian group house in college, so I cooked basic legumes, grains, pasta, and vegetables with my housemates. We were always broke and frugality was our ethos, so I learned how to salvage bruised or half-rotten produce, plan around bulk co-op purchases, cook for a dozen people at a time, make basic vegetable stocks, and preserve food. We put a lot of effort into seasonings to make cheap eats tasty, so that's when my knowledge of spices took off. We were mainly inspired by Indian and Japanese Buddhist cuisines, due to the variety of vegetarian dishes and college-town ingredients available.
That's when I got curious and started to dig into cookbooks more. Studying chemistry, it seemed like the distance between a lab prep and a recipe wasn't insurmountable, so I experimented with more ambitious dishes. I had to realize that cooking ingredients aren't lab reagents - size, ripeness, moisture/fat/gluten, etc. content are all variable, and you won't get the same results with the "same" materials every time.
When I got a decently paying job, I moved to an apartment with a few carnivore friends. That started me on meat cooking. Roasting a chicken, making pot roast, or stir-frying pork started me down the rabbit hole of classical and global cooking techniques. I also learned about dealing with a crappy apartment electric stove, after the commercial gas range in the group house.
Since then, it was continuous exploration and practice. I started and stopped a few different careers. My first round of IT burnout happened to coincide with the publication of Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential. With that inspiration, and spouse's encouragement/Dot Com bubble money, I quit my job and went to culinary school.
I was totally unprepared for the degree of technical mastery and speed required for commercial cooking, as well as the pathologies of professional kitchen culture. I broke down in tears more than once. Nonetheless, everything I learned there has served me well in every career since. The level of organization, discipline, precision, preparedness, and practice required for smoothly operating kitchens is extraordinary. You are 100% responsible for, and expected to be in control of, the outcome of your efforts.
No cookbook will teach you these things - it's purely experiential learning. Working in a pro kitchen is part ballet and part jazz. You develop a proprioceptive sixth sense - where someone is moving hot pans behind you, what a smooth rhythm of prep, fire, plating feels like, how much time expires before you need to check doneness. You learn to use all your senses - what doneness looks like, smells like, sounds like, feels like, tastes like. It's an all-encompassing, sometimes overwhelming experience, seasoned with verbal and (fortunately rarely) physical violence.
At that time, I also learned the performance arts of plating, table service, and beverage pairing. Again, restaurant world is a realm apart from home cooking. It's a business, so every choice has to be justified in the bottom line - food, time, rent, and other costs make or break the restaurant. As an example, our butchery instructor patiently explained to us how to portion and prepare a $5 whole chicken as $100 worth of dishes.
Restaurant cuisine is also a competitive art form, so every aspect of performing service has to be considered: decor, napery, plates, cutlery, glassware, uniforms, frequency and language of waiting on the table, menu verbiage, timing of foods, pairings...
I ultimately spent 7 years working in a patisserie café. We did catered pastries, wedding and event cakes, and special orders in addition to the bakery case. I loved the predictable routines, kitchen cameraderie, the play with new preparations on slower days and the rat-a-tat rhythm of the busy periods. But at the end, it's incredibly demanding physical work for meagre pay. You're lifting 80 - 100 lbs. dozens of times a day, constantly standing, alternately freezing or broiling, with hands often cramped for hours doing intricate decorations. A career in food service is best started and wrapped up while you're very young, and I wasn't that.
I still break out those skills for fun now and then, but my home cooking now is mainly for the pleasure of eating good daily meals. Spouse and I trade off meal prep, making batches of recipes we think will be healthy and pleasing enough to eat for a few days, or freeze and pull out when we're tired. We've both got big enough repertoires that we rarely eat the same things twice. We've got space now for a garden, so there's also the delight of using what I've grown, fresh to the table or put up for winter.

The god thing gets old, trust you me, and the wolves thing gets you killed.
Call you "Devil," call you "Space Fiend." And then they bleed you, like Josiah.
You study patterns. You know what your kind does. Violence against any deviation from the majority, exploitation, cruelty, secrets, murder.

American cities are poorly legislated and suffer from a tragedy of the commons when it comes to basic public needs like restrooms. We have deep seated issues that keep us from being able to have nice things like that.
Why is it a requirement?
Because at some point our public servants had a modicum of integrity in their stated mission: the public good.
Having a place to wash your hands is one stated idea of why they're usually required in Canada.
I noticed in Denver a number of places that had gone out of their way to remove seating specifically to avoid having to offer restrooms to the booming homeless population in the urban center there.

Do NOT directly call 911 for non-emergency "test" calls. Please schedule a call by contacting the non-emergency phone number first.
Instead of directly calling 911, you need to schedule a test call with your local 911 call center by contacting its non-emergency phone number.
Some Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) also give zero shits about call answer time, NG911, 911 via text, or even consistently working E911.
E911 provides a static address to the public safety answering point when a 911 call comes in. NG911 enriches this with more accurate latitude longitude and height above ground level data, or for phones that are in a fixed location a room number or extension number can be provided to make it much easier for a routing emergency services.
We need a national system for 911, not this mishmash of 10 to 30-year-old proprietary systems serving the 5700 PSAPs put together for each department on a township, city or county basis, with minimal coordination across regions and states.
What kind of response would be appropriate then for getting them to take this issue seriously?
To think that they are prioritizing support for TikTok or whatever and thinking of 911 as an afterthought is horrendous and disgusting.
Emergency calls should have the highest priority on networks.

All soldiers are gamblers and all gamblers are cheats, I've found.
I've studied psychology too, and reverse psychology. What better way to hide your true role in this farce than to accuse another candidate of playing your part?
We're in competition. Why should I help you to beat me?
We may be in competition to answer the question, but to establish the question we have to cooperate.
He's a talker.
There are nine character traits to look for:
Arrogance, grandiosity, a belief in one's uniqueness, a preoccupation with power and success, an excessive need to be admired, a sense of entitlement, lack of empathy and the twin tendencies to envy and exploit others.
For clinical diagnosis, a patient must exhibit five of these.

Stop being such a buzzkill, Luche. We all know what happened.
Did you know they sent an envoy to the Citadel after that?
What for? To offer their surrender?
More like demand ours. What? Demand? My ass!
No? Think about it. The empire's got Lucis on its last legs. It's the perfect time to make demands. We are losing this war, Your Majesty.
Lucis cannot rely on the Kingsglaive alone. Accepting the truce may be our best course of action.
You speak of matters beyond the New Wall. We have no need of a truce here, so long as it stands.
And if our position worsens, we still have the Old Wall.
Yes, but this truce will end the fighting altogether.
If only we could compromise.
Compromise is unwise.
We know nothing of Niflheim's true intentions.
Do not fool yourselves. The Walls are far from impenetrable. The paths left to us are few. The New Wall draws its power from the throne. I am able to sustain it for some years yet, if the kingdom requires it.
But the chancellor spoke one truth, if only one. We are old, and the Old Wall...
I cannot command the Old Wall with a weakened hand, nor do I have the strength to muster an offensive to turn the tide on this war.
Then let the choice be made, Your Majesty.
What are we to protect?

Here is the miracle you asked for.
This is very simple.
The world is sick, but we are the doctors.
The world is anemic, and we are the vitamin.
The world is weary, but we are the strength.
We are here to make the world healthy once again.
With hard work, with honesty, with clarity, with decency.
We are the product of loving mothers and brave fathers.
We are the embodiment of love and bravery.
We are the gift of both God and science.
We are the answer to the question.
We are the promise delivered to all mankind.
For that we raise our hand, to one nation.
We step to the beat of one drum of this world.
We are the people with the children on our shoulders.
In the same way as our fathers carried us and their fathers before them.
We are the one people, united and strong.
We are the one people with certainty. Moral certainty.
We are invincible and we have no fear.
Because the truth makes us ONES!!
Mein Führer. It's time.
The traitor Adler will get a surprise.

Mr. Washington James. Why are you so upset and so angry?

->This made me smile :-)

We control the engine.
We control the world.

They criticized him for over-engineering and over-equipping this wonderful train.
And what was that?
Old world people are frigging morons who got turned into popsicles.
Well, sort of. He knew that CW7 would freeze the world.
Rumble, rumble, rattle, rattle
The engine is eternal, yes!
The engine is forever, yes!
Rumble, rumble, rattle, rattle
Now, Who can tell me what's coming up?
The Revolt of the Seven.
Of course they failed to stop the train.
There they are. That's how far they made it. That's a woman in the front. She was an Inuit.

As a special treat, we have playing for us the world renowned first chair violinist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Mr. Gerald McInster.
Is that really Gerald? He looks damn great.
Excuse me, sir. My wife and I played violin in the Boston Symphony Orchestra. I was first chair.
Can you still play?
Of course, you never forget.

Look beyond the gate. Section after section, precisely where they've always been and where they'll always be, all adding up to what?
The train.
And now, the perfectly correct number of human beings, all in their proper places, all adding up to what?
Humanity.
The train is the world.

Look at them. That's how people are.
You know.
You've seen this.
You've been this.
You can save them from themselves.
You know what I hate about myself?
I know what people taste like.
I know that babies taste best.

Long time no see, Mr. Gilliam.
It's a pleasure!
Earth?
What was it like?
I don't remember.
Why?
I don't want to remember anything before I met Gilliam.

We would all be hideously over-crowded and starved, waiting for that.
The next best solution is to have individual units kill off other individual units.
From time to time, we've had to stir the pot, so to speak.
A blockbuster production with a devilishly unpredictable plot.
That wasn't what Gilliam and I had in our plan.
Don't tell me you didn't know. Gilliam and I... our plan.
The front and the tail are supposed to work together.
He was more than a partner, really. He was my friend.
It all worked out in the end.
Unfortunately, the front suffered more losses than anticipated and Gilliam had to pay the price.

Boy, now I can see what Gilliam meant.
He told me you were brilliant and clever, but always so tense.
When's the last time you got laid? Hmm?
Like Gilliam said, holding a woman is much better with two arms.

It's what you always wanted.
It's what Gilliam wanted, too.
You must tend the engine, keep her humming.

Put that useless gun down.
Put it away.
No, I think the guns are literally useless.
Wake up. Rise and shine.

Well, you always seem to know what's behind the gates.
Do you see things in your mind?

->This made me smile :-)

The nature of the method is complex, but it’s a bit like using several layers of contact lenses to mask a person’s original eye color–and switching those layers repeatedly and randomly.
This method would make it difficult to infer the person’s true eye color–regardless of what the original color actually was.
