I think the API is the GPGME library?

https://gnupg.org/software/gpgme/index.html

... which internally calls gnpg using the --with-colons argument which is how you're supposed to get machine-readable output.

That said, maybe your use case isn't very accessible via the standard gpg commands. It sounds like you want to parse the ciphertext and extract the recipient keyids? You can do that with gpg --list-packets, but this is really intended for debugging, not automated consumption. That said it doesn't look too hard to parse, but who knows how stable it will be in the future.
Yeah this joke didn't make any sense in German. The problem I see with this kind of jokes is that they can't be translated to German.

e.g. another joke like this
Did you hear about the country with the fastest growing capital? It's Ireland - every day it's Dublin.

I can't think of any way how to translate this joke so it would be funny in German.
But I have a feeling that these word play jokes aren't used much in German speaking countries anyways. Most of the humor is about people acting different or surprising.
Dynamic Programming for Brute-Forcers
The scope of Meltano isn't limited to just data pipelines, though that is the first major part of it.

One thing that gets me really excited about it is the way we want to build version control in from the start. To give you an example of where that's really powerful - we have a bunch of dashboards in Looker. Right now, figuring out what Looks/Dashboards rely on a given field is very challenging. If I change a column in my extraction, right now I can fairly easily propagate it to my final transformed table (thanks to dbt!) and even to the LookML. But knowing what in Looker is going to change / break if I change the LookML is way harder.

But if everything was defined in code from extraction, loading, transformation, modeling, _and_ visualization, that'd be really powerful from my perspective.

The Meltano team has several user personas that they're looking at focusing on, data engineers are definitely one of them, but data analyst/BI users are as well, and we want the product to work well for the whole data team.
It can be helpful to look at a map of the world with no borders drawn on it and remember that (apart from natural boundaries such as oceans) border lines are entirely arbitrary with no inherent meaning.

And also to look at past maps of the world when the borders looked quite different.
The free market should sort itself out. If the taxes go up, either salaries will go up or companies won’t be able to find workers because people won’t be willing to move there.

If companies decide that it’s not worth it to be in Silicon Valley, the demand for housing will go down as will the prices.

Sooner or later salaries/housing prices/employment opportunities/taxes will come into balance.
Yes. It's not a falsehoods list.

Here's one example https://boingboing.net/2017/09/18/rep-ray-rodrigues.html
> A programmer who truly sees his program as an extension of his own ego is not going to be trying to find all the errors in that program. On the contrary, he is going to be trying to prove that the program is correct – even if this means the oversight of errors which are monstrous to another eye.

From the original 1989 "Version 1.0" of The Hacker Test[1]:

0477 Ever spend ten minutes trying to find a single-character error?
0478 ... More than an hour?
0479 ... More than a day?
0480 ... More than a week?
0481 ... Did the first person you show it to find it immediately?

I don't know if this is caused by cognitive dissonance of the ego, "highway hypnosis"-style blindness from staring at your own code for too long, or something else. Regardless, programmers have always had this problem.

You can’t really rate limit server-side with Firebase. If a client has read-permission on a data node, an attacker can just read from there as many times as they want.

There are some ways to limit writing using the rules engine but you’ll still get charged for failed writes. :)

Only real way to rate limit firebase that I know of is to put some sort of proxy service in between, but then you lose a lot of the advantage of using FB in the first place.

A few more aio_* syscalls would really simplify things a lot. I suspect the most important missing aio_* syscalls are aio_open()/close() and aio_stat(). The semantics for async open/close would be tricky.
It was hardly a quite difficult heist. As an example of such check the helicopter robbery in Västberga in 2009 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A4stberga_helicopter_ro...).

This was a smash and grab of a church with some thought used for finding a quiet spot for the smashing part and to make a faster escape with bicycles.

It was admittedly clever to have a boat ready, since it's easy to vanish to Mälaren, make a landfall, dump the boat and switch to a getaway car.

Svenska kyrkan really needs to do a risk assessment and take this seriously, since it is not the first time and won't be the last either and relying on the good will of people is not a strategy for preventing theft of historical artefacts.
You definitely have some stuff messed up in there. It is hard to know without physically opening up books.

An example: Classical Mechanics.

Goldstein is the de facto graduate text on the subject.

I haven't used Hand, but what I could get with the "Surprise Me" feature on Amazon, it looks like a Undergraduate text. I however used Marion and Thornton[0].

There also seems to be some misunderstanding in HOW to order it too. Like you have Mechanics in the beginning. What do you mean by that? The first round? ie: not Classical Mechanics (Junior year). If so, those books are typically a trifecta, containing: mechanics, E&M, some waves, and some modern. Those are typically Young or Halliday and Resnik.

You also separate electricity and magnetism into different sections, in the undergrad section. Why?

You have QM but don't have Griffiths? You have E&M but don't have Griffiths?

Why do you have Sakurai and don't specify which one?! If anything says "Modern" in the title it is probably a graduate book. I can't see inside that one but it is frequently bought with Jackson (E&M) and Goldstein, so I would take a stab at it being a graduate text.

In my experience such "lightweight" distros, over time, accumulate expanded functionality/compatibility/surface area and inevitably/gradually become "heavier".

Then the community complains "X" is too heavy, we need a lightweight system! and the cycle repeats itself.
You're talking about more debugging tools within the transformation steps of a pipeline, right? dbt is helping with that via data tests (see https://gitlab.com/meltano/analytics/tree/master/elt/dbt/tes...) as an example.

I'd love for a more robust way to test data pipelines and the data within them generally. I was at DataEngConf earlier this year and many people were talking about this problem exactly. One way we're trying to address it a bit is by using the Review Apps feature on Merge Requests within GitLab. Right now, when you open an MR on our repo it will create a clone of the data warehouse that's completely isolated from production. This, obviously, can't scale once the DW is beyond a certain size, but I think there are ways to keep this sort of practice going.
I don't think this is depressing, for the reasons that you find it depressing.

This says "on reasoning alone". I wouldn't trust someone who didn't reference their instincts/emotions for moral decisions. There are studies on people who function on reasoning alone, and they are, unsurprisingly not very good at moral decisions. And I'm not just talking psychopaths, but also people who's emotional centers have been damaged. This is unsurprising to me, because our emotions and our morality are both part of the system that makes us social creatures (e.g. empathy). Morality is essentially a meta-structure that helps hold societies together.

Besides, there's a lot of evidence now that our "reasoning", especially on moral matters, is more often than not, a post hoc justification of our emotional instinct.

There are some nice explanations of this by people like Jonathan Haidt.
Based on https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/duo-security#section... that looks like quite a nice exit.

Thanks for the clarification I can see that is indeed the problem that can occur.

Why is this Google's fault?

I walk through The East Cut nearly every day, and I admit I was confused by the rebranding. But it wasn't done by Google. There are people cleaning the sidewalks in East Cut shirts, banners that say East Cut, real estate companies that call it East Cut. It would be a little weird if Google ignored the name.

Yes, "The East Cut" is a strange name. But that area as never part of South Beach (which is also a strange name given that there is no beach). It wasn't really Rincon Hill, it is the area below Rincon Hill and is at sea level.

The East Cut is part of the larger South of Market area, and some of it could be considered to be the southern part of the Financial District[1]. But the neighborhood has evolved into its own thing, and deserves its own name.

Google maps's districts in Dublin are all over the place. Looking around the city centre at a certain magnification I can see names nobody ever uses, or that refer to individual buildings or tiny areas, shown as if they describe entire areas of the city. Maryland, Hybreasal, Cathal Brugha Barracks - roughly where I'd expect to see signs for The Coombe, Kilmainham, and Harold's Cross. If I zoom out, labels for Kilmainham and Harold's Cross appear. If I zoom in, Cathal Brugha Barracks changes from the "district" font to the font identifying a single landmark, and moves a couple of blocks to where the building actually is.

This must be one of the hard problems for computers, though it doesn't seem like it should be.
The choice of graph here is really bad.

Basically the graph is trying to show two things at once - the difference between the categories and the difference between each category and normal. For multiple variables.

By showing a lot of information on one graph, it becomes hard to see any particular pieceof information.

If you are trying to show a comparison between two categories, it's better to normalise those two categories. If you want to show that being far from the centre of the bell curve is more significant (which doesn't come accross on this graph at all by the way), then factor that in when you normalise.

Two clear graphs are better than one bad one.
I’d like to se this broken down by age, too. They refer to what terms mean to “men” when i often wondered if they were talking to “boys”
Google maps tends to be better than most competing sources though. E.g. if you try to figure out the boundaries between Riverdale, Kingsbridge, Spuyten Duyvil, and Fieldston, Wikipedia just throws up its hands. But Google maps really gives the most sensible definitions down to the block, even though they’re highly irregular shapes.

Knowing all the commercial districts is a huge advantage for them. I’m betting they can see how often people who live in each block spend in each commercial district, as well as what all the buildings and shops are named.

Only up until the technical level of the industrial revolution. Getting past that would require easy access to an easy to use energy source, i.e. fossil fuels. None of which are left. Today we dig kilometers under the seabed to access energy. A society just entering the industrial revolution will have not the knowledge, tools, or materials to do that.
> China is aware of this and they control any maps their citizens will ever see.

Everyone is aware of it. Maps have always been political. Maps and borders are political creations. Why is it that whenever a controversial topic comes up, people always bring up china? Every HN thread that has a controversial topic, someone always sneaks in a reference to china?

> "Of course all that ocean between Philippines and Vietnam belongs to China!" is what most Chinese citizens will assume, after all, they saw it on their maps growing up. While the rest of us will have seen a different map.

You act like there are two maps. One china is pushing and another everyone else agrees to. China, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia and every nation in ASEAN have their own maps.

The issue with maps has always existed. Whether it is current - crimea (russia/ukraine), sea of japan/east sea ( japan/korea ) or historical - hawaiians/inuit/nativesc vs european colonizers. Or the remnants of colonization like india/pakistan or artificial nations created by european colonizers in africa and the middle east which has created ethnic border issues.

Pretty much every nation today has map issues. Even within a nation there are map issues ( like the renaming of mount denali ).
Bitcoin mining can scale depending on demand, from a bunch of laptops to massive farms. It is only greed that brings more and more miners into the game, pushing energy demands higher.

It's normal for governments to crack down on mining at some point, the energy consumption is indeed hilarious, but that's not going to bring down bitcoin anytime soon.

Similar things happen in unincorporated areas. I live out in the country, and I remember a year or two ago, a place-name appeared on Google Maps calling the area "Mary's Grove," which makes some kind of sense to me as a local, even though I've never heard anyone refer to the area as that, but it disappeared as mysteriously as it appeared after a while.

Now it says I live in "Warlick," and I have no clue where that name came from.
Are you planning to protest against this? Threaten to resign if google does not back off?
When Japan's emperor recently announced his future resignation, he didn't say "I resign", he talked about his age and deteriorating health. In all likelihood straight out saying "we surrender" would have been inconceivable, especially if the surrender is supposed to be unconditional, potentially with a Nuremberg treatment of the god-emperor.

You can blame the culture for not using communication efficiently, but saying a "null" answer to the demands of surrender was sufficient reason to one-up the violence by becoming the first and only country to use nuclear weapons and the first and only country to use nuclear weapons specifically against civilians, is absurd.

(To be clear: what I'm saying is that even with a gun to his head, the emperor probably wouldn't have simply said "okay, we surrender", at least no publicly)
