Two solutions:

1. Change from "Contributors can post" to "Anyone can post". Counterintuitive, but the first is based on email FROM, the second is moderated.

2. Make a hash as your FROM address. Add it as an alias to send from in Gmail (or whatever you use). Send to posterous from the hash address. Your email address becomes your password.
It seems someone didn't read. One of the links on that page is to http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/phrasal-verbs/log+in.h.... How does an entry for the phrasal verb "log in" which doesn't even contain an occurrence of "login" corroborate that the latter is a verb?
It's called Coherence now, but I haven't seen too much lately from it. http://alarmingdevelopment.org/ is his blog.
"Global seawater rise is ok because we could eventually get used to live in frequently flooded cities". That is the wrong way to see it. Crops (ok, maybe besides rice and a few more) may not adapt. The change doesn't stops there, nor would be the only thing that would change. And things will keep getting worse.
Not in all countries. In my country we lay them on their side supported by a rolled towel. We make sure they equally lay on both sides. Sleeping on the back will give them a flat head.
This is a great resource, but maybe a bit slow-paced for some people.

You could get killed walking your doggie. Or get cancer. Or have a stroke. Tomorrow.

Worrying about your post-apocalyptic world that might happen doesn’t consume many of my brain cycles. I’d much rather worry about things that are likely to happen in the short term.

Edit: no, my child’s death from thirst, famine, violence or disease is not a forgone conclusion.
I have the same requirement, but ended up building the final bundles to lambda in the cloud instead. However I am quite excited about the new container image support for lambda meaning I guess you do not have to compile for musl anymore.
Yup.

npm i && say 'done installing. back to work now'
Did someone say Bitcoin?
Slide 12 from the link in the 4th paragraph[0] shows a 4-minute period in which generation was below 59.4 MW, and notes that more gen units would have tripped if generation stayed below the threshold for 5 minutes longer, though it's hard to say exactly how much longer the grid would have been down.

Think where the 3 major cloud operators come from:

AWS: Eat-your-own-dogfood, consumer company

Google: Eyeballs are our product, cloud,apps,services is a side-effect of our underlying ad business

Microsoft: Developer first, keep people in our ecosystem, make it easy to adopt, hard to get out of.

Google has good technical product inside GCP, nice fancy stuff like Spanner, etc. All spun out of their own requirements and needs, which is a scalable, invisible, processing engine. Their ad business has two sets of people, ad buyers that bid for their business and don't have alternatives, and anonymous viewers that google sells back to the ad buyers. They're rent-seekers that clip the ticket coming and going, using their search as the lock-in.

No wonder they have trouble setting up a true B2B or B2C business. They're not built for it.

Both AWS and Microsoft are at least either B2B or B2C and understand that it's not clipping the ticket, it's making margin over the cost of supply of goods and services.

Microsoft has even learnt the lesson of losing your lock-in advantage of the desktop.

Google has lost that fundamental trust to be able to both operate as a rent-seeker in the ad business while also delivering actual goods and services as a B2B/B2C business.
You seem to think only the process of sleep training is bad, but the result is good, so you are focused on one process compared to another. But as bad as the process is, I think the result is much worse--the resignation and acceptance and yes, increased cortisol levels, that will now probably have an impact on that child for the rest of their life. And the result of every method is the same. I mean, it's the whole point. So that's why I see them as all being the same.

Tantrums, meltdowns, or a kid crying because they want something are completely different, or they should be. The best response, based on the reading I've done and my own experience, is neither to ignore them nor to give in, but to empathize with them and comfort them, then (if they can understand you yet) calmly explain what the rules are, why they can't have a cookie now, etc.

The issue isn't the crying itself. They might cry for 10 minutes about the cookie, but you'll be holding them and engaging with them, not ignoring them or leaving them alone.

My purpose isn't to shame anyone. I just gave my opinion on some practices and attitudes I believe are harmful. I think you and others are reading that in because if I'm right, then maybe you'd feel some shame for doing things the way you did. It's a touchy subject that can provoke strong emotions. I don't personally hold it against anyone or think less of them though. It's not easy and everyone makes mistakes. I've made tons.

The research is easy to google. There's really not that much of it. Anyone can be up to speed on it in a few hours, probably. You're taking issue with my characterization of it, but you don't cite anything yourself, so /shrug. I've made some fairly specific claims, so feel free to prove me wrong if you can.

I more or less agree with your last paragraph. If you don't do sleep training, lots of people, likely including your pediatrician if you live in the US, will try to push you into doing so, so that cuts both ways. But I would argue that you shouldn't uncritically listen to any other people, even people you trust. People can be lovely and trustworthy but have terribly misinformed ideas about parenting. Instead, take the time to educate yourself. Keep an open mind and form your own conclusions. It's worth spending some time on.
The executive who ordered the hack- Zaidi- literally was charged and plead guilty. It's mentioned in the article.
They wouldn't realistically get into the car (they didn't), but if they did, they'd trash the interior too. If the driver got out to fight, they'd beat him up obviously. If he just got out to "clear things up", they'd insult him and maybe slap him around a bit.

The driver's problem is he's in his own little bubble and was infuriated by bicyclists inconveniencing his drive (oh dear). I bet he'll tell people how scary NYC is, like commenter `goldenkey` above, and hopefully won't return to be so inconvenienced by kids on bicycles. His conundrum was 100% avoidable by not being a tool.

Anyway I hate selectively edited videos like that, making the driver look like some victim. It's Andy Ngo-quality material.
> It's also bonus points towards sustainability to ensure their devices have a life after obsolescence.

This is my primary interest in this project. Given Apple's support life for Macs, I don't think I will ever use it, but I'd like to have the option the same way I was able to extend the life of my G4 iMac.
The article says that an executive was charged with wire fraud and conspiracy to violate the CFAA, pled guilty, and is awaiting sentencing.

It's up to the judge whether he sees the inside of a jail cell.
I've been looking for something like sync.com but free and opensource. Does such a thing exist?

I'm planning on setting up my own nextcloud server, and they also have their own file manager system (Nextcloud Files), which is great for keeping files in sync across devices.

And although it's nice to edit a text file that's stored on a cloud server from any of your devices, I want to be able to use more powerful desktop applications to edit/organize other files. e.g. beets for music, digikam for bulk organizing the directory structure of my photos. Darktable for editing photos.

Does anyone know of a workflow that lets me do all the organizing/editing on a desktop, but still keep it all in sync with my other devices via a cloud server?
> That would mean that artists were only able to make money if they are working directly for someone else.

Nonsense, they can sell their own artwork too.
They're so nice. Sad they're getting phased out everywhere.
When was the last time you used Apple Maps?
We can't change what Apple does. Gnashing your teeth about that isn't going to help.

The bus network in Seattle is completely busted. Try riding a bus from Bellevue to the International District on a game night before covid. There is simply not room for more people on the busses, nor is there room for more busses on the Third. Seattle needed this extra rail like 20 years ago.

But I think you are wrong about the focus here. They just opened the downtown tunnel recently, and they are opting to fix the West Seattle bridge even though they won’t be able to fit a train to it. They are also fixing the 520 bridge to Kirkland without a train line. And all the roro ferries have significantly more frequency then the walk on ferries (except for West Seattle). So cars definitely still weigh heavily for the city planners
There’s no “hacker culture.” The movies are fantasies. Programmers in cubicle farms and at standing desks in home offices writing code for money are not a culture. A side project isn’t hacking. The people who do what used to be called hacking are criminals.

The definitions of “hacker” offered by Richard Stallman and Eric Raymond — two people devoid of what we usually mean by “culture” — use the term to describe curiosity, fun, and inventiveness, which English already has good words for.

Not to out myself as a nerd, but if my history is any indication, some kids play chess. And even checkers.
Wow, another twitter analytics product... Their customers (companies) should not be solely focused on their twitter reach. I think an interesting feature would be to see the influence that twitter has on Facebook sharing and vice-versa. Besides, how many small businesses's are able to make $200 ROI each month by taking a look at a few graphs which tell them what they already know?
Somehow I think thats probably what happened. My guess is the plaintiff in question made a scene, "What? I'm just playing chess." and then a summons was written.

Then, I don't think its a coincidence that this is on the news. He probably kept complaining and got picked up by local news.
Is a recap of a TV show really worthy of an NYT op-ed slot?

And is it really worth posting here?

IMO, no on both counts.
What, because anyone under 18 doesn't play chess? Or because a 8x8 grid of colored squares is an expensive feature to add.

If that IS the case, we have bigger problems.
Maybe we haven't seen the positrons yet because they're still traveling back in time from the future!
One step closer to making the iPad my go-to machine.

Slavery is alive and well in the world today, and is not simply limited to sex trafficking.

According to https://www.humanrightsfirst.org/resource/human-trafficking-.... Only about 20% are sexually exploited, with the majority used for labor.

Which podcasts were you listening to? They sound interesting to me, and I know nothing there. Would you recommend them?
> Why do you think Rust took longer to change than Python?

Potentially the issues we ran into were due to the inexperience of the team, Rust despite being ~12 years old, most of the programmers we were working with had less than 2 years of experience with it. So if you have a more experienced team, your mileage may vary.

Given that, I think it has to do with the typing system, it is a lot faster to change your structs in python and propagate the changes as needed than in Rust. Asking for another field to be displayed on a web dashboard could take ~1 hour for a team we had working in Django, and ~2 days for a team working in Rust. Of course the projects in question were wildly different and a lot of other caveats, but still in general we found that Python was just much much faster to make changes with. I was not directly involved in any of the programming, but did review the changes, so my perspective may not be the correct one.
Funny side note: the State of Illinois spent a decent amount of public funds trying to decide whether to charge me with $100 trillion in currency fraud. The state crime lab said the currency I owned was the "most sophisticated piece of currency forgery" they had ever encountered.

It was a single (real) $100 trillion bill from Zimbabwe that I carried in my wallet for fun. I assume they thought for some reason it was US dollars?

Comparing income between countries without accounting for cost of living is highly misleading.
Good point. If you eat shitty food, no amount of exercise or vitamins can help you. However, first sentence mentions that exercise contribution to weight loss is a myth. I disagree with that notion, in hindsight I should had been more more careful with my choice of words.

Edited my original comment to reflect this.
When I last visited Toronto (which was some time ago -- 2012), I was struck by not just how much the city was building up, but by how far out from the city center was building towers. Most of the towers were along the lake, and near a highway, but I didn't see much in terms of rail-based public transit or nearby office towers (basically everything being advertised was residential units), so I have two questions:

- How full are those buildings?
- Are there significant traffic issues from induced commutes?
From my recollection cued speech and signed English both are controversial in the Deaf community. They are seen as clunky and forced on them by the hearing community.

I think the biggest issue is that most languages including ASL have about the same informational density for a given unit of time. Whereas Cued Speech and Signed English have significantly lower informational density.
The problem with everywhere chemicals and the longer time period they potentially act on is that there is probably no way of designing a study to compare two cohorts that are exposed/not exposed to those chemicals. Best we can do is study isolated or tribal populations but that introduces a whole lot of other variables that modern life has that confound the data.
I still have fond feelings for my Motorola V195, which I accidentally left plugged in to charge at the San Francisco airport a decade or so back.

I've learned that it helps to keep charging devices in one's carry-on bag.

For a given problem, there's often some natural monoidal structure underneath the hood even if the operations aren't explicitly part of the type signature.

For example, it's "natural" for the sum of an empty list to be 0 but the product of an empty list to be 1. Why? So that the "hidden homomorphism" is preserved (here ++ is list concatenation):

sum(listA ++ listB) == sum(listA) + list(listB)
product(listA ++ listB) == product(listA) * product(listB)

For similar reasons, given some predicate P is some predicate, the any? should return false for an empty list and all? should return true so that the following hold:

all?(P, listA ++ listB) == all?(P, listA) && all?(P, listB)
any?(P, listA ++ listB) == any?(P, listA) || any?(P, listB)

Behind it all we're not only transforming values of TypeA into values of TypeB , we're doing it in a way that respects some underlying monoidal structure.

If you want to think of it in a more programmer-centric way, any time you have an operation that could be as a fold[1] there is an underlying monoidal structure. Monoids permit folding, folding implies the existence of some monoid.

That's unfortunate, I quite liked the concept of limiting the size of your social graph to one you can actually manage.
I disagree. Much of Manhattan is now cheaper than SF, and it faces all of the same challenges. Heck, Manhattan doesn't even have the benefit of being connected via land on one side, and its total area is considerably smaller. Getting anywhere off Manhattan requires crossing water.

But yet its real estate availability is much higher than SF, and its commutable feeder cities/suburbs are innumerable.

The fundamental problem is political. San Francisco is a desirable place to live - tech industry or otherwise - but everyone wants in, and once they get in, they do everything in their power to ensure no one else gets in. It is literally the most development-hostile city I've ever seen.

San Francisco is expensive because San Franciscans would rather starve, see people evicted, see an exodus of the people and culture that made the city famous, suffer incredible transportation problems, etc etc, than lose a single dainty Victorian house on their street.

Forget sustainable development. Forget development that aligns to existing neighborhood characteristics. Politically speaking, the only development plan on the table in SF is no development whatsoever.
I know Colorado is a weird state but here, yes, a very large portion (absolutely a majority) of people that buy SUV's use them to take their families and their skis or their bikes or their kayaks up to the mountains.
This is not a problem with a simple solution. People can handle Twitter (one-way subscriptions); people can handle Facebook (reciprocal friendship.) But they are annoyed at having more than one service. Which one is the winner? Which one replaces the other one? If I drop one then I abandon all my contacts on the other! Argh!

The easy technological solution is a site that offers complex, configurable relationships, but can people handle it? Probably not, or at least, not yet. So we have reached the current equilibrium of multiple services, with Facebook the winner, and a minority of people choosing integration or choosing to manage accounts separately on more than one service.

Perhaps the day will arrive when people are ready for more sophistication in managing relationships on a social networking site. If Facebook times it right and adds relationship configuration options at roughly the right pace, they can stay on top and supplant Twitter entirely for social networking. Or perhaps the current situation reflects the limit of what people want to cope with. I'm sure Facebook is researching the question and deciding which way to bet.
"Political speech is practically always incitement to violence".

Yes, but also for a somewhat different reason than you give.

What happens when a party gets elected, has control all the levers of government for the next four years, and enacts a law that some people object to? Well, the objectors may march around the legislature chanting "we won't stand for this!". What could they mean, since they have no power to do anything until at least the next election?

Such protests happen frequently, by people of all ideologies. Implicit in these protests is the idea that even when a party has control of all parts of government, they still are sensitive to public opinion, just as absolute monarchs are, since there is always the possibility that the people will revolt - either violently, or by lower-level forms of civil disobedience.

One major justification for democracy is that it minimizes the chance of civil war, by having the election result mimic the result of a civil war (in which numbers on each side presumably count for a lot), at far less cost. But sensible democratically-elected leaders realize that an election victory does not perfectly mimic the result of civil war (or of less violent forms of struggle), and that even if it did, it may be that their opponents will not judge their chances of success realistically.
To be fair, the other half of the country believed that the previous election was thrown by Russian interference.

And to be really fair, half of the country believed neither of those things. There are plenty of people who voted for Trump who believe that he lost fair and square, and ditto Hillary voters in the previous election.
This sets a terrible precedent. If you believe in democracy, you should let the public choose what they want or don't want to hear. Now we have Jack Dorsey controlling the public discourse.
If you don't trust the public, you really don't believe in democracy.
What's naive is thinking that anyone, once empowered to define impermissible speech, would not eventually expand that definition to include inconvenient speech.

Freedom of speech exists to protect the rights of minorities: the opinions of the majority are tautologically safe to speak. It's unpopular opinions which need protection, and nothing is more unpopular than an inconvenient truth.
Was a survey performed as people were entering the grounds?

Also, how does one learn how to see the future with such certainty? It's like there was a sale on crystal balls and everyone but me got one. :(
It's a bit easier to understand when you factor the fact that:

1. average US houshold income is very high

2. cars are a must (both for cultural and practical reasons), not a luxury

Yes, in times of job loss and other economic strain consumers will stop buying certain things, but likely not cars (at first).
So long, Twitter. You were okay until you started banning people for their beliefs.
I don’t think wanting a regulatory framework is bad at all (though I think in the last few decades, we have naïvely tried to regulate companies into doing things that are simply counter to their nature rather than solving problems directly, eg minimum wage vs UBI).

A utility is different than a regulated company.
> I don't think America has seen this before

I think that says more about how boring & peaceful the late twentieth century was. The number of people old enough to remember more interesting times is declining quickly.
<i>but the government shouldn't tell you what changes you can't make to your body, or how you provide care for a member of your tribe.</i>

Talk to a social worker and see whether or not you still believe that a government should still be able to step in and tell you how to treat a member of your "tribe"

I remember reading one social worker's long diatribe about why they burned out and quit. Out of several truly horrible things (black and blue children are ten a penny), the one that really stuck in my mind was the description of finding genital warts on the anus of a 7-year-old because his mother repeatedly whored him out.

"Self regulating"? Bollocks.
No Name also heavily competes on price. You have to look very closely when dealing with No Name, for instance No Name veg is frequently Grade B instead of Grade A. I'm not sure how CFIA grades veg but I noticed that the No Name peas I bought tasted like crap and upon further inspection I saw they were Grade B.
Thanks, I'm just wondering because, even though this approach had fantastic advantages, there also seem to be some things which are done differently in an API. For example, the API might use OAuth after logging the user in with credentials, so this is a case where things are done differently in the two approaches.

In this case, does one simply write two ways of doing things? You might also not want to let the users do things with the api that they can do on the site, or give different permissions to the site versus the API. How do you handle these things?
Actually, using n-rack mini-apps to replace, your Rails web app is not advisable. However, on cases where you need more fine grain control and customizing Rails can be a PITA, it's better to build the app from barebone Rack & Sinatra, using necessary middleware & libraries.

Though each mini-app looks like a controller, it beyond a controller because it's self contained.
