In my country most of the workforce that went remote during the pandemic is back at work. Seems WFH is more of a fad in the West.
> It appears to be like a chatroom in the sense that its live but with an API or live application refresh where the programmer can write lines of code that immediately show app results. This is pretty cool but I don't know if its a real product other than live coding interviews or the most intense pressure cooker of your manager having you do the TPS reports right now

If that's what you're taking away, we need to improve our marketing copy!

The point of Streamlit is to have a nimble way to create applications, where auto-refresh/hot-reload is part of the developer experience. But the goal of the overall project is to make interactive data apps available to the broad public, not just people who have front-end experience or a front-end developer working on their team.
Imagine trying to manage a warehouse remotely

Given the fact that forklift operators have been driving forklifts remotely during the pandemic, this is not hard to imagine at all: the present reality is that warehouses are being managed remotely. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-54431056

In addition to this, there are now many companies in the warehouse robotics space, all of whom are more than happy to provide robots that automate most of the productive functions of warehouses. For example, there are automated guide vehicles (AGVs) that move inventory around the warehouse, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) that manage inventory, store and retrieve goods on demand. In addition, there are collaborative robots or "cobots" that help the few employees you still actually need on site. Finally, there are articulated robot arms that pick, pack and palletize goods. Almost all of these can managed and operated remotely, all at a lower total cost than purely manual labor could achieve.

Given the fact that warehouses are the perfect example of how the working world is going permanently remote, I'm not sure how your marketing example is any better. If you want to bounce ideas off of another person in real-time, I don't understand why the same thing can't be done at a much lower cost on a call. After all, that's how everyone has been doing it for over a year now!
The top end most profitable SKUs are fully enabled dies. That they are now able to ship dies this large is a good sign. The 10nm laptop chips they have produced so far were rumored to have atrocious yield.
Blocking "known" trackers is always going to be a cat-and-mouse game, though. Blocking all 1x1 images and similar would help as well, if you're doing that. But I'd still be concerned about spam that's using remote images for "this email address exists and a human reads it" verification. I'd also be concerned about read-receipt services, especially those that might support self-hosting rather than using a central service that you can easily identify.
That's a terrible idea:

> Using Covid-19 vaccine passports to tailor restrictions, however, has drawn staunch opposition based on several weighty concerns.1 First, while vaccine supply remains limited, privileging people who are fortunate enough to have gained early access is morally questionable. Second, even after supply constraints ease, rates of vaccination among racial minorities and low-income populations seem likely to remain disproportionately low; relatedly, if history is a guide, programs that confer social privilege on the basis of “fitness” can lead to invidious discrimination. Third, the extent of protection conferred by vaccination, particularly against new variants, is not yet well understood, nor is the potential for viral transmission by people who have been vaccinated. Fourth, privileging the vaccinated will penalize people with religious or philosophical objections to vaccination. Finally, we lack a consensus approach to accurately certifying vaccination.

PCMU/PCMA (G.711μ and G.711a) are not original landline quality audio, but rather what Bell Systems felt they could get away with passing off as a toll quality call in 1972.

Lyra will likely sound better, but the reproduction accuracy is apt to be quite a bit poorer as many others have commented. G.711 was created to require nearly no processing (its nearly raw PCM data from a sound card after all) while operating at reasonable bitrates, Lyra looks much more computationally intensive and will likely only run on smartphones in the next few years.

Edit: Is Lyra a significant improvement over modern Opus at 8Kbps? You can buy a Grandstream HT802 analog telephone adapter for ~$30 and its DSP can decode Opus today, whereas Lyra will require orders of magnitude more power to decode while providing much worse reproduction accuracy.

Hard or easy, does it matter? There are a particular set of attributes that are required to be a programmer, I've asked people who've started to be a programmer and given up - some of the reasons are:

- There's too many things to remember, this is true, there's a lot of stuff you have to remember

- It's so boring, I have to sit all day at a screen, this is true - if you don't have an internal representation running in your head and enjoy doing that I can see this would be boring, the tinkerers mind I call it

- Its too hard, something happens and you have to find out what, who cares? probably related to the previous points.

- I don't like puzzles, something I've noticed, if you don't like solving puzzles, then programming probably isn't for you.

Probably more, any others people have noticed?

Edit: maybe I should say solving puzzles - not necessarily game sorts of puzzles, but more a sense of hmmm, what happened there? and the determination/ability to solve it, not just throw up your hands.
Weird. Never really heard of anyone calling homeless people thugs.

I don't even associate homelessness with black. I associate it with crazy white dudes shitting everywhere - but maybe that's because I'm on the west coast where it seems the majority of homeless guys getting attention are white. I guess there's also the fact that if you were black, homeless, and crazy - you'd have been killed by the police already. Black and homeless - probably keeping lower profile as to avoid police killing you.
Okaaay, now I have a keycloak server and an ldap server running. I guess my next step is to shell in to the ldap host, wget https://github.com/ivangfr/springboot-keycloak-openldap/blob..., edit it to my needs, look up how to generate openldap password hashes, go back in to keycloak, and try to configure that to talk to my ldap server.

So now I need to look up the default values for

Vendor, Username LDAP attribute, RDN LDAP attribute, UUID LDAP attribute, User Object Classes, Connection URL, Users DN, Custom User LDAP Filter, Search Scope, Bind Type, Bind DN, Bind Credential

If I knew what vendor openldap was considered setting the Vendor would fill a bunch of of those in. Well let's try following through this this random blog post and hope it works: https://geek-cookbook.funkypenguin.co.nz/recipes/keycloak/au...

Compare that to the experience of deploying say, wordpress. And hey look, it already comes with an authentication backed!

Sure, you can build something that does more or less the same thing but you have to do a fair bit of work to get to that point. Realistically if you haven't done it before, and if you don't have any ldap experience, you're looking at a solid couple of hours to get that set up.

And it's still apparently going to use 100s of MB of ram.

Where as wordpress goes up in a few minutes, handles user account but uses less ram, I don't really need to do any extra work, and I'm confident it's going to work.

I'm not looking to build a skill, I'm looking to just have an auth server I can use and that I can link my own apps against easily.

As an aside I had seen that one before and it is workable, it's just a lot of work to get from there to an actual working deployment I can use on my home server.

Looks good; great idea.
I too have pointed out google and yahoo when people talk about bad domain names, but for all I know those names may actually have made it take longer for people to take those companies seriously.

That said, I think venuetastic is a great name.

It sounds like the only people you want to debate with are people who already agree with you.
It sucks, this tension of people that insist the web be the one thing they want, that anyone wanting anything else be unable to get it. I don't know how to deal with conservatives. Never have.

Yeah why i mentioned the great filter of Fermi paradox.

I also believe humans in our current species form won’t become a space bearing species. We’re pretty awful as space travelers.

It is very likely that we’ll have robots with human like intelligence, sensor and motor capabilities sent as probes to other planets to explore and carry on the human story.

But future is hard to predict. I do know that if the intelligence algorithm is only in the hands of Google and Facebook, we are doomed. This is a thing that ought to be open source and equally beneficial to everyone.

I think there's a line somewhere between expressiveness and infantility. It's actually corporate that pushes the latter through the way they add those ways of expression to their products.

I'm not saying everything has to be boring and same everywhere, I'd like to see the world that's actually quite the opposite, that's diverse and where people are pushing the boundaries of expression. Where I see infantilisation happening is where things with very low information ratio (and usually something evoking one of the basic emotions with high valence and high arousal) are described as fun and cool.

I think OP's product is sitting somewhere on that border, but their marketing angle is definitely pushing it towards the infantility. Just look at the title of this very post, but I guess it worked, in the end we've all clicked on the comments and are here.. :)
What I have heard is that they don't want to do it if they don't have to. The maintenance burden is HUGE, and KDE have little commercial support.
Last time I checked, it was pretty complicated to publish on BigCommerce App store, they allow only pre-approved partners. Did it change?
> This feels like it wouldn't square with Know-Your-Customer requirements

My understanding is that exchanges would do their due diligence before exchanging your fiat for tokens, and separately shops may do due diligance if necessary before accepting your tokens; the exchange does not know that you performed a transaction at this shop, and the shop does not know with whom you exchange[0], but both those relationships have separately done due diligence.

In particular I don't believe there could be a such thing as a "darknet shop" or "darknet exchange" using Taler. If any one entity is not following regulations, it should be possible to track them down and subject them to the law. If a merchant isn't following regulations, then they can't redeem their tokens to fiat at the exchange. If the exchange isn't following regulations, then the auditor/government shuts them down.

It's not necessarily so binary.

I read a fun novel where the rest of the universe had discovered antigrav before internal combustion - that humans basically missed a typically easy, early discovery in physics - and the implications of that for technology transfer in both directions due to wildly different technology trees.

There's also the possibility that "they'll find us before we find them" means "they're reaching out and we have to listen if want the download for the ansible and FTL schematics".

"my understanding is it keeps a stack of statements to execute a function end."

The official Go compiler a couple of versions back optimized this away to the obvious (if you know about compilers) mapping of region to what defers need to be run on exit and can compile them in now. If your function uses it like a stack, it'll use a stack like it used to, but it optimizes the common case of a handful of defers in the main body now.
Doing something in an illegal way doesn't mean you didn't do the thing. Especially when the thing is exposing illegal activity by the body empowered to enforce law.
Just double-checked my DO console — yes you can, I have a droplet with both.

Edit: I'm wrong, see below.
It took decades of car-centric design for American cities to be converted to sprawl. It will take decades more to converge back on livable cities.
Thanks a lot for the post.
What suprised me the most was the fact that Google is serving 40K (now 47K in live statistic) requests per second.
That was way below what I thought.
Each Apache server without real optimization running on a typical physical machine would be able to serve 40-50 requests/second; so they only need a thousand of servers to do 50K requests/second.
Or am I missing something?
I was going to joke about how you must not have grown up in the 80s-90s, but doing a Google search just now, I see that I might have used the wrong term...

The better known term is "model minority," in which Asians, in America, were held up as what minorities should be like: smart, hard-working, non-confrontational to the status quo:

http://www.nationaljournal.com/thenextamerica/education/asia...

I swear "golden minority" was also a common term, because Asian-Americans were perceived as achieving toward high-pay professions (doctors, engineers, etc) and, well, we're also referred to as "yellow"...but there seem to be very usages of "golden minority" and Asian
Greenwald flubbing certain little details about Miranda's involvement rubs me the wrong way.

1. His spouse was a courier.

2. Greenwald and Poitras MADE IT KNOWN he was a courier and often said that they were using Miranda as a way to prevent themselves from being caught with information on their bodies.

3. The Guardian was paying for his flights...and who knows what else. (Can't fully trust them since it took them damn near 2 months to reveal the GCHQ came to pay them a visit)

4. If you travel with stuff stolen from the government...shit gets real...really fast.

Why lie or omit information Glenn? The situation is bad enough. Stop trying to paint this as some sort of "journalistic transgression" when in fact Miranda (and Glennd and Poitras) should have known to not fly through one of the busiest airports in Europe AND one of the nations actively trying to stifle that information.

Considering the SHEER LEVEL OF PROTECTION Poitras admits to using... (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/18/magazine/laura-poitras-sno...) ...there is NO reason why they allow this to sloppily happen.

Either Miranda was meant to get caught...or they're just being lazy.
Excluding the most rarified fine art, every creative endeavor is a balancing act of money, materials, time, and effort. Good taste and a sense of art is going to guide you to the best result that balances all those factors. What's different about software is that everyone who makes software for public consumption needs taste and artistry.

Once you have your creation, you just flip a switch and as many editions as anyone would want can be created. This makes the boundary between art and commerce in software almost friction-free, unlike, say, designing a car where a factory costing hundreds of millions of dollars is interposed between design and replication.

There are only a handful of big car producers and they only collectively need something on the order of hundreds to low thousands of trained designers. To these designers, art is part of their education. That's just not going to be the case for software developers.
Yeah, the whole subject editing is really to start getting a bit silly. And I'd wager that the folks at the Atlantic are better skilled to come up with headlines expressing the intent of the actual article than some mods here. But whatever.

Not that anyone should be treated like this, but I suspect they literally don't even know the difference (or even that there is) between Hinduism and Islam. If you're gonna profile, at least know your freaking religions!
I think you're missing that there is a sequence of things that happens here:

1. he sets off the chemical detector
2. he is pulled aside for questioning
3. in that questioning, they discover he has a background that makes them nervous
4. they hold him for a great deal more questioning

1->2 is standard and would happen to anyone. As other people have pointed out in this thread, it generally takes 15 minutes and is no big deal. It certainly doesn't involve the FBI. While it's never happened to me, it's happened to several people I know and while it was a bit of a hassle, it did not come anywhere near this.

The alarms have already gotten us to 2, and they're not even nervous yet, because they don't know his background and, like you said, without the background being true, the whole expression evaluates to false. That's why the 3->4 transition is a problem, and that's where the profiling comes in. The agent's explanation isn't some non-sequitur, like "yeah, this is totally standard and incidentally we're nervous". He's explaining why they're holding him longer and have brought in agents from five different departments instead of just having a TSA guy chat with him and send him on his way. Notice the escalation as they become more concerned; they care about his background because it makes them think he might be a terrorist. Holding people for questioning when they're nervous that the passenger is a terrorist is actually their job. That's why they did so much, even to the point that they felt the need to explain it.

If answers about his background would not change their behavior towards him, why would they ask about it all? The whole point of gathering information is so that you can make decisions with it.

So then we get to the crux of it: his background makes them nervous and their nervousness causes them to subject him to additional scrutiny, above and beyond the screening he would have endured had he set off the alarm and not had a nervousness-causing background. That's profiling.
The article does a good job of explaining your methods of data collection, and nothing in the content suggests otherwise.

I wish more articles on the Internet had this kind of transparency.

That doesn't really surprise me to be honest.

Most of this is invisible to end-users of selenium, as it's just a hammer they pick up; the struggles of the maintainers is not (nor should it be) something they have to worry about.

Nevertheless, they probably could get some hay mentioning that their API implements a significant amount more functionality versus every other cross-browser testing framework.

That said, they really don't have to, the work really stands by itself.

That's not uncommon. I actually like to tell people I program in CFML just to start conversations :) For some CF apologetics, see my recent response to a PHP programmer:

http://www.codersrevolution.com/blog/cfml-good-discussions-a...

But to your larger point, non-CF devs don't talk about CF because
1) They aren't familiar with it's recent state
2) The CF world isn't doing cool stuff that catches their attention.

It's my belief that the more CF devs do cool (and modern) stuff with CF and then talk about it outside of their little microcosm, the more visibility it will get again and start to shake it's "legacy" label.
On the other hand, he manages to be bullseye-accurate (as evidenced by the size of many of the targets he managed to hit - including hitting other arrows mid-flight).
They're not doable from random programs downloaded from the Internet, except via these flaws.
I'm using the Dell Ultrasharp Monitor U4320Q. There is no other way to put it - when I first bought it, I had doubts about my decision because this thing is _big_. You'll need to move your eye (and/or your neck) a bit more for the content on the edges which you almost never have to do for something like, say, 24" monitor.

However, few months down the line, this is the best decision I made for coding. The real estate makes a real difference. The quality of the panel is great and you soon get used to "bigness" and the ability to have so many split windows makes a huge difference in productivity. It'll probably really shine with a tiling WM/virtual workspaces (I use a non-tiling single workspace setup so that's just speculation though).

You still have to move few inches away if you are playing content full screen (my desk is wide but not very deep). I play Youtube videos expanded but not full screen and that is already big enough for me. For movies in full screen, I push my chair a bit away from the desk and put my legs on a small stool and then the experience is great.
> “COBOL doesn’t present any security problems because it doesn’t really talk to any resources,” Malik said. “It just says ‘read’ or ‘write.’”

Can someone knowledgeable of COBOL expand on this? It sounds... not quite right, like it's missing some surrounding context. I feel like plenty of C's common security problems could be boiled down to "just reads and writes".
I know firsthand the FBI will try to get your guard down so that they can interrogate you by claiming they need your help with an investigation. Most people will want to be helpful.

If the FBI ever asks you for help, immediately call a lawyer. It’s worth the retainer to find out who and what they’re really after and to avoid any entrapment.

If the FBI is being nice to you, it’s probably you they’re after. They probably never wanted to hire the author as an informant. They probably suspected he was a terrorist and wanted to interrogate him without a lawyer present. It sounds like their plan worked.

Be smart. Call a lawyer. Let them talk to the FBI for you.
