> This comes with downsides around dicking around with trying to jam every part of the computation into the type system (not unlike C++ template meta programming).

I'm not sure why you say this is dicking around as the payoffs for moving things higher up are usually orders of magnitude better
I suggest you re-read the list of definitions at the link you posted. You might learn something invaluable.
Try reducing the pixel dimensions.
It's only dangerous if you forget to call super's drawRect. Call that at the top of your function (to get the default graphics that UINavigationBar draws, and whatever else Apple does in there, probably nothing) and then do your own drawing after.
Ah, so the goal isn't some principle about democracy, it's about a desire to get rid of SS, let polluters pollute, and to have unsafe food. He should have come out and said that then.
A "no" to what question?

A detailed blog post will be coming soon with why we're selling, what we did, etc.., if that's what you're looking for. Some of this info is in comments or on the listing.
Aha, clearly the solution is to release a new version of SETI@home that mines Bitcoins and donates them to SETI.
Great feedback. I like 1, to have an overlay popup window for explanation.

Basically, channel contains segments, segment contains clips. Segments are groups of clips, for grouping time-related clips or topic-related clips. Youtube videos are often broken into multiple clips (show1 to showN). You are right. It's kind of difficult to explain the hierarchical organization in one shot. Viewers just want to watch TV; don't care about organization.

The 2x5 control grid is supposed to mimic TV remote, to place on right hand side vertically instead of horizontally to avoid obscuring the vertical screen space. There's a scrollbar at bottom for finer playback control.

Many people don't bother with connecting a phone to wifi anymore - 4G is frequently faster and more reliable.

Having to dig out the wifi credentials just to use the printer isn't fun.
I've been using the North Face resistor[1] for about two years.

Pros:

- Sturdy and great quality

- A lot of space

- Comes with a charger

- Nice design

Cons

- Expensive

- I don't think it fits well under the seat when you take it with you on the plane. It uses a lot of space

You can huff and puff about things you don't like being "American" but the rest of the world is following along about as fast as they can.
The problem is that you often can’t find access to the actual “password” used in the breach. Does anyone know where I can see if it was an actual password or just some made up thing?
There is a very interesting study done on Prius owners, where they are buying them for the smugness of the vehicle.
You probably have to be highly distributed. At least that’s what I did when I tried to scrape a large site some years ago. I had around 100 machines in different countries and gave each of them random pages to scrape.
It looks like the purpose was data enrichment, so maybe it was pieced together over time from multiple sources. My linkedin from PDL only had 1 bit of wrong info. I wasn't able to find anything on my personal email addresses which is good.

I am curious if it's satisfying to become an investor like Paul Graham, because that's a dream job I'm hoping to work in myself some day too.
Also I wanted to say...I hate how backend developers front end developers. You are proof that front end devs are no joke and we can do impressive work!
> there are ways to be completely anonymous and still use it

only if you stay within the ecosystem, but then the moment you want to spend money in real life you need to basically resort to money laundering.

Now, that may not be a problem for some users, but it'd be a serious one for most people, and the price would plummet.
> It’s pretty clear by now that, looking just at costs (without getting into the detail of the actual type of pollution), mining gold is ~50 times more expensive than mining bitcoins AND running the bitcoin network. Bitcoin pollutes far, far less than gold.

> mining gold is ~50 times more expensive than mining bitcoins

> It’s even harder to compare the type of pollution created by mining gold versus mining bitcoin. What’s easy to do is to simply state that mining gold is MUCH WORSE than mining bitcoins. Mining gold is an environmental disaster. Poisoned waters, solid waste, endangered communities, and so on. Producing gold for one wedding ring alone generates 20 tons of waste.

Every bug program I have had any exposure to is mostly reports like these.

Once I started insisting researchers PGP encrypt their submissions to prevent leaks of potentially serious and sensitive issues... A side effect was it was easy to tell authentic reports from skiddy stuff.

No one with any significant security research experience has been able to avoid learning basic asymmetric cryptography... But the skiddies only want to copy paste from automated tools to hunt easy bounties.
FFP2 masks are everywhere in Germany, even my local Döner Shop sells them and every supermarket has brand ones either as single or pack of ten.
I didn't buy the last pack from amazon but direct from the company (medisana) because amazon afaik throws all (counterfeits or originals) in the same bins and you can't be sure what you get.
Consider yourself lucky. In a certain northern Germany city, they went for 5-7€ per piece. After the OP / FFP2 mask mandate at the end of January, they went down to ~4€. I found ONE pharmacy that was selling packs, so I got them for around 3€ (18€ 6-pack).

You could also buy them cheap on Amazon with no CE labeling or with fake labeling, if you are feeling adventurous.
I hadn't seen glmw, thanks for sharing.

I can see how WASM definitely improves performance in those benchmarks (where we're talking about thousands of matrix operations). But I imagine your per-frame camera & matrix math is probably not taking up much time (within a 16ms budget), so a lot of these WASM optimizations may not have any real influence on the rendering performance. But, they could introduce more upfront parsing/loading time for your library (i.e. base64 decoding, WASM instantiation), and obviously a bring with them a lot more complexity (in authoring the module and supporting legacy devices).

Anyways, it's pretty cool that you can call GL functions directly from WASM, I hadn't realized that before and it probably would make for an epic game engine to have almost everything called from WASM land.
Sadly the Windows asynchronous (or something, I never quite got it) networking API seems very powerful. But I never found a comprehensible manual/tutorial for it.
Java developers would surely ask "Why not Java?".
Same here, my first job out of university was network programming on embedded Linux and Beej's guide was an invaluable resource.
Treat the household itself as the security / hygiene perimeter.
Separate from the "current crisis" and retrospective contact-tracing:

Are there any existing apps that keep a high-resolution trail of where you've been, without ever uploading it to the cloud? (Or, only uploading it to a location you choose, encrypted to a key you hold?)

Something like Google "Location History", but without Google or any other intermediary data-silos who could be compromised to reveal my data against my wishes.
Depends on the PDFs you're interested in. Many use only embedded TrueType (Type42) fonts, which I assume are handled by the usual Microsoft renderer.

(If you're reading lots of LaTeX-generated papers, then yes, you're probably seeing PostScript fonts.)

I mean its space. Any computer expected to be in space and do non completely trivial things have tons of mechanisms in place to survive computer issues.
> this is exactly the sense of entitlement

Now come on with your "entitlement". It's not as though we're talking about some random people who made some little package for their own use and decided to make it available in case anyone else found it useful, and now the community demands from them are becoming too much and are something they never asked for. This is a group that have named themselves the Python Cryptographic Authority and have chosen the prominent pypi package name of just "cryptography". They couldn't have done any more to encourage the broader community to depend on it and make it a core part of their stack.

In comparison, I couldn't imagine the python core team (also largely unpaid) doing this with one of their stdlib modules and then dismissing those objecting as "entitled".

(FWIW I'm not particularly interested in taking a side in this issue, but think your labelling as "entitled" is unhelpful)
I have no idea who Topher Brennan is, and he appears to have deleted these tweets, so it's pretty hard for me to evaluate whether this is a credible accusation. I definitely agree that it's fair for journalists to unveil someone's pseudonym if they're networking with important people.
This is funny observation. Before some recent hurricane, thousands of cars were shuttling between empty network gas stations, presumably guided by their apps, to no avail, while I was able to top the tank by going several streets into nearest small village and finding standalone "mom and pop" station.
> No since you’ll get to the “battle tested” point much fastener.

I'm not sure what you mean here.

Are you saying that a bc will get to a battle-tested state faster than crypto?

If you are, I disagree whole-heartedly. Crypto is bigint math with a few extras. bc has bigint math, a lexer, a parser, and an interpreter. Of those, the parser and interpreter are far more complicated than the bigint math.

And bc's bigint math is not actually just bigint; it's bigdecimal.
I don't think it played any part in her loss to Trump, but Clinton did push for video game legislation while a Senator, in response to the GTA "Hot Coffee" controversy.

The United States Family Entertainment Protection Act (FEPA) was a bill introduced by Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY), and co-sponsored by Senators Joe Lieberman (D-CT), Tim Johnson (D-SD) and Evan Bayh (D-IN) on November 29, 2005. The bill called for a federal mandate enforcement of the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings system for video games in order to protect children from inappropriate content.

The FEPA would have imposed fines of US$1000 or 100 hours of community service for a first time offense of selling a "Mature" or "Adult-Only" rated video game to a minor, and $5000 or 500 hours for each subsequent offense. The bill also called for a FTC investigation into the ESRB to ascertain whether they have been properly rating games.

I'm with you. The only options I've thought of are independent employment or escaping society, both come with significant tradeoffs and neither are simple to accomplish, especially without personal guidance... I guess you could find a job you're overqualified for too, make things easy at least even if you don't get to own your time. I'm not sure that would be fulfilling either.
The value for an American middleman should be in curation and market understanding. "Don't bother selling the metric part here, it fits no local products", or "That meme ran its course already here, nobody's gonna buy a phone case with it anymore." and also "there's already 5000 people selling blue widgets, don't try to jump into that crowded market."

A big risk factor is choice paralysis. I know legitimate purchase intent browsing/searching gets derailed when customers see too many choices and lose confidence. Did I specify the wrong search criteria? Am I buying the right one of these 500 near-identical items? Is there a better deal I'm missing? Should I check five other shops?

If marketplace sellers practiced good curation, this risk is reducible, but I suspect marketplace platforms prefer large numbers of sellers and massive inventory count to convey vast selections (of things you don't actually want).
To claim something is not adequate is to claim it can’t do the job.

Ad/tracker blockers based on Apples content blocker framework absolutely do work.

So when I said funny, I meant funny as in, “this meat smells funny”.
No need to recompile means you can run the same, guaranteed known, signed, etc code everywhere.

Purpose-built sandboxing means you can run untrusted code more safely — e.g. at the network edge, like a Cloudflare worker, a lambda, etc. Same for third-party plugins in apps, etc.

An open standard and open implementations gives you some assurance against lock-in, licensing changes, patent suits, etc.
>> If you really want a laugh, read up on how banks are competing to acquire physical currency because cash is cheaper to store in a guarded vault than a database entry with the ECB.

Hahaha, so as the governments the world over propagandize (read black money/corruption) people to move to digital cash
the banks are legally allowed to hold mountains of them.
And ...even charge people a fee to withdraw there own money as cash.

> people should be paying more attention the market implications of products like this than to the social implications.

People will absolutely suffer harm from this tech, but hey, think about the dollars that could be made! No, we should absolutely be paying more attention to the social implications.
Blinkered perspective. Cugel is one of the greatest.
7: minecraft taught basic logic with red stone.
8: tinkered with available tools to hack eg. lego games.
9: godot programming via youtube video series.
10: ??? will see.

If a kid is bored, they'll think anything is fun. Key is to have a video game schedule; before that, "technology" is off limits. But the loophole is to allow access to certain apps (blender, godot, krita, puzzles, etc) before tech schedule if it doesn't conflict with daily responsibilities such as homework. None of these were forced but encouraged indirectly. Again, if a kid doesn't get hook on instant gratification with passive consumption of entertainment, the change is big your child will turn to exploration when bored...programming might be the natural direction given light encouragement.
Handling errors rather than ignoring them.

Knowing that the correct answer to almost every question is "it depends".

Knowing how to somewhat-less-inefficiently produce larger-scale software that adequately meets the need. (Note that I did not say "efficiently", and I did not say "bug-free".) This takes at least some skill in dealing with people, not just computers.
He has done more good than legions of software engineers who make multiples of his income.
Lovely! Congratulations :)
Many of those landlords happen to be offshore billionaires, in some cases organizations like the Saudi sovereign wealth fund.
In my opinion, a lot of this stems from the UI/UX focused improvements they made with Blender 2.80. Before that, Blender had some weird UX patterns (like right-click to select) that were different enough from other packages that it was hard to get into. It was always frustrating that it on its surface it looked like the other 3D packages, but it didn't ever work the way I wanted it to. Also, they coupled those UI/UX updates with a large focus on polishing their realtime viewport renderer. With better UX patterns, and a fancy new viewport, it made demos and onboarding much more intriguing.

That's the same way I had always felt about GIMP or Audacity - the windowing system, icons, layout, and other tools never quite felt natural or intuitive and it never made me want to get into it more.
Oligarchs revving the war machine back up to make more blood-soaked sand. Gonna piss off the regional allies and have the CIA re-occupy old stomping grounds like Syria. Regular drone strikes up next!

Its not about the quantity. For my application the key driver was incremental remote update. If your deployment model is that 100% of the application configuration is linked into the container image, then I can see how flat files sound appealing. I completely agree with Dan Luu about the perils of files, though[1]. My application is a remote sensor that both requires incremental update, and is large enough to justify SQLite over something smaller.

That link is interesting for two reasons. First because of the feature you mentioned, and second because there is apparently a community lua module (nginx module implementation must be interesting if you can just attach a deeply embedded language via a module)

Somehow this didn't pop up on our search results (a couple of years back) when we were dealing with some tricky redirection patterns we had to implement. Would have made things much easier.
There are a few known good vendors based on feedback from https://diysolarforum.com

I chose this one:

What's artificially low is the number of residency slots. In other words, it's not just that you have to clear a bar to be a surgeon. It's that there are literally X number of slots and if you don't get one of them, you're out, regardless of whether you would qualify. I'd say it's an artificial constraint since there are far more people trying to get into med school (not a specific school... med school generally) than there are slots.

With law, for example, you have to go to law school and pass a test, but if you do, you are in. There's a lot of law schools out there, to the point where a large percentage of people graduating don't get good jobs. The same isn't true for medical residency graduates.
Is there any reason this has to be integrated into a server instead of just rendering things like it does currently, from regular rooms?
Creating the cluster of servers isn't the value of kubernetes. We all had clusters of servers well before k8s, openstack, and things like AWS.

The benefit of k8s is the orchestration of those clusters. Spinning up 6 new http servers and getting them added to the load balancer automatically. Generating 4 new memcached nodes and getting them registered in DNS so clients pick them up and add them to the hashring.

The benefit of k8s is the scaling and elastic capabilities. It can trigger vertical scaling by spinning up larger pods or horizontal scaling by adding/removing pods.

Anyone thinking that people are using k8s because it can create app servers doesn't understand why anyone is using k8s. If all we needed to do is create a cluster of app servers, we wouldn't be using k8s.

That being said, a cluster of app servers still needs orchestration and config management and we had a ton of crazy solutions for that prior to k8s.
This could be handy for package distribution, is there mention of the propagation delay?
Your HasGluten is interesting.

You probably should try to do international free wiki-like open database of all foods with EAN codes. Maybe Fitbit and other vendors could chip in to provide food details.

I would love to scan all my food EAN codes and see in the computer what I have in my refrigator in calories, protein etc.

P.S. Google spreadsheet is not enough for database of all the world's food
There is only one sure way to make money as an app developer, iOS or Android: getting paid to develop for customers that will publish those apps on the stores.
And there is only one sure way for those customers to be profitable: give the apps away for free and make money with the service people access with those apps. In the software world think Trello, Slack. Other services, think Uber.
If you want to make money through the store, by selling your app, it's very hard because of all the reasons discussed in the other posts here.
Same, I probably drink too drink to much and, yeah, have a drinking "problem". But I have fun, drink great craft beer, and never have an urge to get loaded before work(or instead of). It's all after-hours downtime fun(self medication?) for me.

I also do a lot of sober activities, including sports so... IDK. I'm a well-rounded drunk?
Your method sounds good, but it makes things less safe in practice because it provides every possible incentive to hide, cover up, deny, etc., any problems.

A far better system is "no fault" where the company has incentive to be open about problems and finding solutions.
Tor is secure, but not absolutely anonymous. If the entry relay and exit node are controlled by the same party then they know where you came from and where you're going.

Given anyone can do such nodes and it's relatively inexpensive to get gigabit lines nowadays - it's no doubt a good number of the nodes are owned by various three letter agencies.

Bandwidth isn't expensive on taxpayer dollars, but it is expensive for individuals.

Also because a lot of relays go outside the U.S. the metadata can be collected and stored at will.
How about going 3/4 of the way to Common Lisp and try Clojure instead. Great lightweight web + mongo libs + all the java libs.

Oracle has in fact discontinued their support for JavaFX, and of course gave up on it long ago. It's apparently being supported by a tiny company 'Gluon' [1] so I'm wary to think that there will be any material progress comparable to a well supported platform.

Clearly this particular instance wasn't about catching drunk drivers or apprehending drug dealers. This is blatant arrogant thievery, while also accusing both transient travelers and their local constituents of being morons for falling for this veneer of an excuse: oh it's for drunks N drugs, OK! At the very least the police could have restricted this to race and class as subterfuge, but no this was absolutely brazen: give us your fucking money grandpa! That's what really happened.

I will bet they had a lot more resources for doing searches than they did sobriety checks for those who refused the search. The search would therefore seem fast, while you probably had an insane line waiting for a sobriety test. This is a town with significant corruption and nepotism problems, and is operating like a cartel itself.
You lost your privacy.
Umm... Pictures of nature tend to look stunning because we self-select for stunning pictures. Most of actual nature is boringly drab greys and browns.
You can have technological, scientific and cultural advancement without economic growth.

Building more shopping malls out in the suburbs leads to growth, but it doesn't advance society.
I think the point he was trying to make is this: would you consider someone who could completely crush you at, say, basketball, to have "abnormal powers"?

I'm not talking pros, I'm talking about people who've played sports all their lives. They can probably beat most people at their chosen sports. And a lot of perfectly "normal/average" people are really good at one sport or another. We don't talk about them as if they're "abnormal".

Haven't done it, but I'm guessing that memorizing 1500 digits of pi is easier and less time consuming than getting to a decent level at some sport. Except that for most people, playing sport is fun, so they don't think about it as "extreme concentration". For the op, memorizing digits of pi was fun (I'm guessing?).
Copenhagen and most European cities are high density and were largely built before the car or zoning was invented. Most people there live within bike-commute distance, which isn't the case for the US.
