Yeah, opt-in is an attractive nuisance when deciding things like this. It's a good way to argue that something should be allowed because you did your due diligence and warned the user, but in practice it provides very poor security (for the reason you give). At the end of the day, no amount of purism and theory can ever outweigh the actual effects.
I think OP doesn’t find it to be any of the adjectives you describe.
I almost forgot—the IF statement is an expression! You can do the following:

A ← IF B = 15 THEN 40 ELSE 99
and A will be 40 if B is 15, otherwise A will be 99. There aren't many languages I've used that have allowed this

I need to introduce this man to the wonderful world of Haskell, Erlang, and other Functional Programming Languages.
Did ShapeShift migrate to a Uniswap-like dex?
Of course! Email me at sean@pion.ly and happy to help however I can.
I'm rolling my eyes at your comment. Come on now, you know what I meant.

Email is like getting mail in your postal box. It has no real protections except for people saying "yeah, I won't read your mail". Thus, if something is important enough, don't use it for that.

If you really need to do something privately there are better equipped avenues; if you're worried about tracking, it doesn't matter because

- any service mailing you will try to track you

- if you email with anybody from Google/MSFT/etc, your email is on their servers anyway.

It's a lost cause. It has been for some time. Keep a strong password on it and 2FA and such, but otherwise, it's not worth the time to care about.
When I disable all Google services, I still recieve Wire, whatsapp, Messenger Lite (for marketplace), and email messages. All messages are on-time, with Whatsapp coming through faster than on my coworkers iphones.

Ironically, Fluffychat, a Matrix client, is the outlier - it relies on Google Services Framework to deliver messages
And Amazon will co-ordinate the retrofitting of these roofs to allow safe and easy access?

Have you ever been up to a typical apartment or condo roof top? Sometimes there's a common area or party area - not suitable for leaving a pile of random packages though. Otherwise it's full of HVAC and utility stuff.

There's no way on earth my condo board would approve the costs involved in allowing residents up on the roof or having security collect packages from the roof. It's hard enough for security to deal with packages at the front door.
It's just an effort to raise the prestige of Mohawk. Like all the disinformation about how English is just essential to everyone's economic future.

The prestige of English is wide but shallow: everyone's just in it for the money, and if something nicer shows up, the world will abandon English in a heartbeat.

If a language has spiritual value (like Latin, Sanskrit, or Classical Arabic), that's tapping into a narrower but deeper source of prestige.
Maybe they're annoyed because even though the frameworks are great, they are still stuck programming in shitty JavaScript and they know there are about 1,000 better programming languages.
Yes, that's the nature of wealth.

The point is that Bitcoin really is different from other currencies in terms of how bitcoins are created. Dollars are largely created by banks. They get special permission from the government to create dollars and lend them out. Bitcoins, in contrast, can be created by anyone with some computing power, no permission needed.

The fact that one must expend resources to create bitcoins is what makes them valuable - a currency that anyone could create with no effort would be worthless.
The overview is here, which I found more helpful: http://ipython.github.com/ipython-doc/dev/overview.html
If you like working in a "code in the debugger" mode with ultimate omnipotent runtime power, there's also Smalltalk. It's a little like Python with everything designed around IPython as the default mode of operation.

I am going to check out shell_plus. It sounds badass.
Sony's WebTV was a set-top box (Phillips produced them as well) for WebTV Networks, Inc. Microsoft later bought WebTV Networks in '98.

It seems like they do this every single release, and each time it sucks in spectacularly epic ways. Does anybody know if it actually works this time? They had it working fine in 1.4.x, but have messed it up every time since.
You're right, and that is unfortunate. But "people sometimes make the wrong decisions" is a much tougher nut to crack!

I agree that we should have these debates — but on a "is this language acceptable for my use case" level, not a "is this language acceptable for any use cases" level.

> They recently unveiled the US Private Sector Job Quality Index (or JQI for short), a new monthly indicator that aims to track the quality of jobs instead of just the quantity. The JQI measures the ratio of what the researchers call “high-quality” versus “low-quality” jobs, based on whether the work offer more or less than the average income.

I agree with you if you are saying Telcos have no economic incentive to take any security posture for their customers. Regular users cannot fathom that the service they pay for is somehow able to be manipulated and that their communications can be redirected arbitrarily without legal order via technical means.

It is known that there are security issues with ss7 specifically [0][1][2] and the global telecom network was, it seems, never secured. I would conjecture that there are some other problems with mobile phones[3] some that we are not aware of.

I also am in lock step with your claim that this should not be surprising.

Telcos are indeed not paid for security. The security of the telephone network must not be counted on. In fact, military and government business must often be executed on special non-public phone exchanges or SIPRnet. Telcos do not offer any security guarantees, and are rather obstinate toward any demands such as this. Negotiating a more secure service is impossible.

>So it is rather odd to hold telcos reponsible for the failure of some security mechanism they where never part of.

It is certainly not odd. If the general public wakes up and their assigned phone numbers are meaningless, all of their customers will be unhappy, it simply wouldn't pass the sniff test of a 6-year-old.

However, there is positively no incentive for anybody to shop for security in this space. Few living people believe or can even fathom that there could be a problem with using their phones in this manner. Despite the public fraud[2] that has been enabled by the Telco's apparent lack of any security engineering, the market is not providing any security mechanisms for this, I would imagine in part due to the concessions on interoperability made during the development of these global telco protocols.

There (appears to have been) zero work done for the security of this critical system. Customers do not recognize any possible threats, telcos have no interest in improving their networks in this regard, the US government has developed a nickel allergy towards telco regulation in the 30 or 40 years following the 'Bell conclusion. Finally telco's don't care to change, and if they did there would be decades long disputes regarding implimentation.

No, it is wholly unsurprising to find an entrenched, obstinate partner in this field.

Why can I only upvote once ?
These results tell me that only two people were silly enough to use sha(common_word) as their bitcoin private key.

Everyone else was just messing about with fractions of a cent and didn't care about security.

I think you got it backwards mate. your basically asking hundreds of thousands of cars to suffer in favor of a few hundred bicyclists. Most people who bike strangely think most people want to bike but just cant. most dont want to. as an aging nation, most cant.

You're thinking of it like a legal process. Think of a private party instead - you're happy to invite lots of people, but everyone heard Adam was a real asshole to someone in public, so you don't want to have him at the party anymore (even though he was never bad at your previous parties specifically).

It's a reasonable thing to do and you have about the same level of responsibility for your party as twitch has for their platform. You probably also don't care what the justice system thinks about the invitations to your party.
Kind of fascinating how few of the comments here are about sexual harassment and just about general disillusionment with careerism.
Banana ham sandwiches are pretty good if you give them a try
I realized that having an older phone (Nexus 6P) helps not use it because it is so slow and annoying to use that I dread having to interact with it. So I still have the necessary features like navigation, on-the-road connectivity, company VPN authentication etc. but past that don't get addicted to time wasters at all.
The original C++0x concept proposal had proper type signatures and was based, I think, on more traditional type theory. But it had to be continually tweaked as it did not work well in practice so it grew in complexity a lot. Additionally the only implementation was extremely slow to compile.

It was taken out of the standard, and the new version (aka concept-lite) is actually much simpler, although expression based. We lost the ability to type check template definitions though.

Far from being a design by committee, I think for the most part is the brainchild of a single author. The 'auto' thing is definitely a committee addition as many vetoed "implicit" templates and requiring auto after the concept name in the shorthand form was the compromise that pleased no one [1].

[1]: this is an obvious manifestation of Stroustrup's Rule
> It's there, you're just not noticing it. It may be more correct to say "When I don't notice it, it's not a problem"

For those of us that have it (mine is chronic), there is no difference between "I don't notice it" and "it's not there". We can debate semantics, but when I say "it", referring to tinnitus, I mean "it" to be "me noticing the noise". The noise IS "IT". If I don't notice it, it isn't there. It's not like /I/ don't notice it but someone else can, proving its existence.
Typo, car. And for some reason I can’t push edits on my comments
I wish I didn't agree, but I really do. I find myself looking abroad for news about the US. One must go through multiple countries as each have their own bent towards the US. Lot's of extra work, but definitely worthwhile for newsjunkies like my SO and me.

EDIT: words fixed

Which US news sources today stay on the neutral/journalistic path in the US? Everything will have a slant of some kind of course, though hopefully there are outlets that are far less egregious.

Edit adt'l: a question appears!
You don't "get an invite". You use an NNTP client to access from a service that supports the protocol. Once upon a time this was handled by one's ISP.

The only trick is figuring out how to post to alt.hackers where your contribution isn't welcome unless you can "hack" your way in.
I think it's clearly better for our incompetent leaders to have less power than more, but better still would be to have competent leaders with adequate and no more power.
If the only tool you have is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail. I'm sure the OP isn't really proposing to market the shit bowl as a receptacle for putting things in with the added feature of MRU at the top. However if this takes off I'm going to market the utterly shit drawer that instantly sucks the most recently used power supply or charging cable to the bottom.
Chomsky is transparent about his agenda, and that's the best you can hope for from anybody.
You should go see an optometrist. This was me as well until about a month ago; turns out I am slightly farsighted and my eyes were straining to focus on my computer monitor all day. Now I wear an appropriate pair of computer/reading glasses and my eyes don't hurt anymore.
Let's not forget, as the author does, that not being a devout Christian was really quite dangerous (and not just career-wise) for much of the time, including 19th century. If you accept that being a Christian was not really much of a personal choice, then being a Christian also loses quite a lot of weight in Christian apologia illustrated with religious scientists of old.
Why not? If the competitor decides not to take his advice, and he then reports him for violating PCI, he can say, "Hey look, i reached out via email to him and tried to help, he blew me off/didn't fix anything, so I then took steps to protect his customers, since he wasn't."
Wow, is Python3 still that much slower than Python2?
I don't know. I personally think plain text is a more important file format. It's read and writeable by a million programs. Any first year programming student can easily build their own program to read and write plain text. It is fairly easily parseable. Etc.

When you say modulating a phase offset instead of frequency, does this mean you have like 2 oscillators A and B set to the same frequency, where you modulate the offset of A, and you connect both A and B to the audio output?

About your second note, you are so right! Actually it was a mistake in my article, this is what I've done actually but my explanation was a bit wrong.
My first demo is a multiple of the frequency. My second demo is a multiple of (carrier frequency/4). Nothing related to octave, I shouldn't have mentioned that (I will fix it ASAP).
Generally speaking it is very surprising for a merchant of any product to require that you not use a competing product in order to use their product.
That’s a good way of putting it.

The best graphics abstractions allow artists to pretend they’re working with just another pencil or brush. To them, it should be as non technical as possible. Without tools a perfectly functional physics system is useless since it’s only simulation. There’s no content.

You’ve effectively created a new world for the artist to operate in, but have given them nothing to use. “You need a stage to act? Well there’s a tree over there...”

They’re really good at technique and learning things, but they tend to build the work around those techniques and limitations. The tools you give them focuses their energy in the places you want. The absolute best graphics programmers get this too, and it can all end up a creative and cohesive show if done properly. There are many games that intentionally limit the art in some way to create a theme. A way to get a bunch of artists in the same creative space.

The actors work together with the crew and backstage in the best shows. And that’s a game. A tight dance between the artists and technicians. Personally that’s where my love for it comes. Putting on a good show is hella fun. And artists respect tech. They may not get it, but they always respect it. Unlike business.

When you’re alone you have to do the same dance.
When I wrote the prototype for the Southwest Airlines list page I was able to achieve pixel perfection cross browser except for text. I was working from prepared visual comps and wireframes, so it wasn’t hard.
I think that's a pretty extreme view...

But when navigating a narrow ridge like that, books can wait and I'm definitely following my gut.
It's not a perfect comparison, but I think it will always be true that trust between two human beings is more strongly built in person than through an app.

And trust is the foundation of both romantic relationships and business relationships.

Unless you like low-latency video chats. Or online gaming. Or VPNs. Or reliability. Or remote desktop.

Fundamentally, TCP won't allow more than 64K connections from one IP to a single port on another IP. That's a hard limit on the number of users behind a NAT of any kind who can simultaneously connect to a given service on a fixed port. Right now my ISP's resolvers are returning exactly two IPs for google.com. If it were infected with CGNAT, at most 128K of my ISP's customers could use Google at the same time. The real number is much smaller as fetching a web page typically opens lots of connections.

No, I stand by it: CGNAT is dead tech that only has a short window of feasibility. It breaks way more than a migration to IPv6 would, and it's a short-sighted solution for the previous century.
That kind of humor and response is off putting to me as a potential customer. It gives me the impression that either this website is a bit of joke, or that it's not really meant for people like me (that don't 'get' that kind of humor).

That's fine if that's what you're going for, it's up to you. But FYI you'll lose some customers over it, maybe more than you'd gain.
I feel like this is a perfect example of people trying to apply a "one size fits all" band-aid to a complex issue because it sounds nice on the surface. Obviously, Johnny French-Fry would be better off making $15/hour, but there's more to it than that.

I don't believe the salient impact here is "job loss", but rather "wage erosion" at other levels within the organization. There is a zero-sum game at play here, and I think both sides of the argument can probably agree that the trickle-up financial impacts won't make it anywhere close to the executive level. I also don't believe that noticeable impacts will make it back to the consumer in the form of higher prices, or that companies would even consider letting it impact their profit margins. The easy-win here is for execs to restrain or chip away at the wages and benefits of employees currently making ~$30-$65 an hour (these employees are typically paid via "yearly salary", but want to keep everything in context). This issue will likely be compounded by employees currently making ~$16-$30 an hour demanding raises since they feel like they "just missed out" on a pay raise (especially since these individuals are typically in closer physical proximity to minimum-wage earners -- imagine how the fast-food manager will feel when Johnny French-Fry is now only making $1 an hour less). Then the same people arguing for a minimum-wage hike turn around and complain about the wage-gap. I agree that wages should be higher, but simply increasing the MINIMUM wage isn't a viable solution. Need to consider the 2nd, 3rd,...(n)th order effects.
It's legit, is what it is.

This is the moment I decide I'm absolutely done battling nerds who think that because they understand computers (usually badly) they understand everything about complex metabolic processes. The lack of humility is seriously mind-boggling.

There's a scientific consensus that you understand nothing about. People spend their lives on this stuff.
Recommendations have certainly changed as new information came out -- we also discovered iodine and B vitamins -- but is there any government agency in the Western world that recommends a high-lard diet? If not I think you're batting out of your league.

Not that this absolutely needs to be said, but lard isn't pure saturated fat, and the unrendered fat of an animal is an organ.
Generally I'm keen to believe the externalities of automation are not being passed onto its users. I.E. creating efficiency by taking away people's source of income & turning them into a tax burden.

With the minimum wage I suspect a similar effect. The effects increasing wages have on employers red ink doesn't wholly comprehend the positive effect more money in people's pockets has on black ink & overall productivity. A well invested grand in the hands of the poor is DRAMATICALLY more impactful than in a well invested grand in the hands of the rich due to diminishing returns. A company making a new product can deliver more value for society making some wonderful new invention the poor and middle class can spend their income on rather than some out of reach luxury good.

This logic by the way underpins the very unpopular around these parts notion of affirmative action.
This is exactly my own attitude toward git, as well as pandas and matplotlib (python's data-wrangling and de facto plotting libraries). Their APIs are objectively rough, but after years of adapting to their countless quirks and inconsistencies, I've come to love them.
When I click on my profile icon at the top-right, I have a sign out button at the bottom of the menu (well, technically it's "Sign out of all accounts" since I'm logged into multiple), fwiw.
Indeed. Also, the object system doesn't have the reputation of being very fast. That said, it lets you use structural typing, which is extremely handy once in a while.

It usually goes, identify problem, contact vendor, wait interminably, in the meantime find a fix or a workaround ourselves, get back in business, sometimes tell the vendor, sometimes not, depending. Vendor support almost never involves the guys who wrote the software, they're off in an ivory tower somewhere and would never deign to speak to a mere paying customer.
