Have you ever been on those programs? I have... what few actually accepted me.

Unemployment - Screwed around and "lost" the request in the system. I didn't have unemployment, which I am forced to pay into, for 8 weeks. Good thing I was able to get food stamps. I spent most of the time online leeching free internet, since I couldn't afford gas to drive aimlessly to places that would say 'apply online' anyways.

EITC - Once a year, during tax season. Not much of a help.

SNAP - food stamps. Yes, I was on them back in 2012 when I couldn't get any jobs. It meant that I had food.

Section 8 housing - 2 year wait minimum. I put my name on the list, and was summarily told of the homeless shelters.

SSI - I tried for disability, because my right arm is permanently injured. Rejected. Rejected. Rejected. All over a course of 8 months.

TANF - I have no children. Doesn't apply.

WIC - Women, infants, children. I'm none of those, and have no children.

Medicaid - Tried and was refused. Told to apply to HIP Healthy Indiana Plan. Wanted $$$$.

--------------------------------------------

Long story short. In the US, if you aren't independently wealthy, and you lose your job, you're pretty much fucked. You'll lose your residence, cant afford gas for too much transportation, lose needed services to regain a job, your health benefits, and more.

The "social net" really isn't, except for the worst of the worst. My wife cares for them as in-home non-medical care. And then, they're on the skin of their teeth, with even a $10/mo raise in a bill causing less food budget. It terrorized many section8 housing people with the earlier shutdown precisely because the fed cuts the check to the state who cuts to the landlord. With no fed money, rents weren't being paid...
I made the exact same thing with a Raspberry Pi in 2013. For the outdoors part I used a motion detector attached to an Electric Imp that uploads the message to the Raspberry Pi indoors, which is connected to speakers.
RPKI uses CAs at the RIRs because the RIRs are who make the IP allocations and have a relationship with the IP holders and can (at least in theory) authenticate the holders.

Just as a RIR could issue a certificate for your IPs to someone else, they could change WHOIS, which is how IP delegations are generally cross referenced.

You're welcome to accept (or propagate) someone's advertisements without RPKI in case of some dispute with their RIR, but expect to get called out for it if the routes are bogus if you don't answer your NOC phone or email or twitters.

Actually, I don't think Cloudflare was even calling Verizon out for not doing RPKI, which is fairly new and has costs, it was more for not limiting prefix counts; a small customer should probably be limited to 2n + 4 prefixes where N is the average number of prefixes they've advertised over the past 30 days; or like they have to put their prefixes in a portal or something.

Filtering customer advertisements with IRRs is also pretty normal.

But really, you gotta answer the phone. The steel guys answered the phone.
If they have an iPhone, you can go into contacts and turn on emergency bypass just for you and that way their phone will ring when you call but not anyone else.
The notion of "regulatory capture" mischaracterises the history, IMHO. I think that term implies that the regulation is based in some actual government-backed authority acting in the public interest.

But ICANN has no actual source of legal "authority" over domain names. Their position is maintained only through the willingness of authors of DNS software and network adminstrators to use the ICANN root.zone. What keeps the world's DNS resolvers pointing to ICANN's approved root zone is simply consensus. Unchanged default settings and the tacit agreement of network administrators.

It could be that the author is currently maintaining a significant number of regsitrations, possibly doing a little "domaining" in his spare time. If so, that is motivation to protest any increase in prices. The truth is that domain names should cost almost nothing. The real cost of maintaining a domain name is not even close to what is being charged by registrars.

If I am not mistaken, the story behind the privatisation and commercialisation of domain name registrations can be traced back to President Clinton, certain Clinton staff members/advisors, and an ICANN-precursor, called "NewCo" at the time. "NewCo" is shorthand among lawyers for setting up a private company.

I think "regulatory capture" is a misleading way to describe the very old problems with ICANN and its conflicts of interest. There is no governmental regulatory agency acting in the public interest to "capture". ICANN, both the idea and implementation, is a private company. Adept at fending off any legal challenges.

- I have a few small conventional web/mobile app concepts that I'd love to seed-fund and provide technical guidance for (but I wouldn't have much hands-on coding/marketing time myself).

Do you know of any place these numbers are commonly available? I can't find anything similar on my local municipalitiy's site, but that doesn't mean anything (the site is terrible). I'm curious though, as the published non-emergency numbers don't follow this pattern.
I like to think of exercises like this as a "bootstrap pilgrimage", and I hope the phrase catches on.
>What more do you want?

100% contrast. People went to great effort to achieve the highest possible contrast in print, e.g. with barium sulfate coated paper, optical brighteners in paper, single-use carbon film typewriter ribbons, oil based inks so pigments could be used instead of dyes, etc. Contrast is good. The only good reason I can think of to use less than 100% is for syntax highlighting.
Likewise.

That said, I think there are some legitimate reasons for the impression.

For one, Haskell (not uniquely) lacks the distinction between statement and expression found in many languages. This means that you have a freer hand about "where you cut" when breaking up your problem. In a way this is good - the optimal choice may be better when you have more options. But it also means a lack of consistency and more to learn about how to do it well.

Haskell's syntax is unusual. Everything is a harder to follow when you still need to work to parse things. There is a frustrating space between knowing the syntax well enough to want to learn other things and being sufficiently fluent that the new concepts are the only hard thing.

There are habits to reading Haskell code that differ from those involved in reading other languages - a big one being knowing how the types flow through an expression and how to spot where they're pinned down in various contexts.

If prices rise above the cost of building a house, you could make money by paying someone else to build a house, no work required.

Lol what about CS then ? So many STEM students go for CS rather than pure sciences. You can't not have new fields because other fields may suffer.
I see that, and agree, for the short-term future. My point is that manufacturing of circuits, touchscreens and other components is extremely resource intensive. Relatively pure water is one of very many inputs that are required. Other resources such as metals and rare-earth minerals are often mined in places which are quickly becoming inhospitable.

We already see metals being harvested from infrastructure. I expect that to get worse -- and worse faster in more impoverished areas. It seems to me that the remaining hospitable climes will face increasing pressures on their resources, and the luxury of nearly-free electricity powering smartphones will be fleeting.
I can attest. while doing research in a T1 university, all the professors were mildly disgusted by the hype pushed out by startups, and even Google's own internal marketing department.

Nonetheless they too are minting the same nonsense in the "introduction" part of academic research, it's a clear case of everyone is playing the game, so "I have to play or be left behind."

https://clojuredocs.org/ has been helpful, especially the examples, and the direct links to the code. Like working with libraries in any other language, if you have trouble understanding how something is working, reading the implementation is often your best recourse.

Using let can also be a decent crutch, if you're just not used to doing things with functional composition and (occasional) macros.

> which ones lead you to the performant path naturally

D's big advantage is the plasticity of the code, meaning it's much easier to try out different data structures and algorithms to compare speed. My experience with C and C++ is they're hard to change data structures, meaning one tends to stick with the initial design.

For a smallish example, in C one uses s.f when s is a value of a struct, and s->f when s is a pointer to a struct. If you're switching from one to the other, you have to go through all your code swapping . and ->. With D, both are .

It's probably in part a consequence of not growing up using headphones/earphones when walking or doing other things outside. But I just can't get used to being cut off from what's going on around me even absent isolating earphones.

I want locks on my doors.

If you can come up with a reasonably secure way to get an ESP8862 to unlock your door that I can't sniff from across the street with a pringles can hooked up to a wifi dongle running in promiscuous mode (perhaps with a pile of off board AWS to crack your WPA key), I'd be interested in checking it out.

I'm not saying it can't be done. But for _me_, I'd prefer to piggy back on all the battle tested tools available in linux like OpenSSL rather that pretend I can write bulletproof crypto code for the constrained resources available on the esp. And I'd prefer to run my unlock signals over wires rather than over a radio. I'm cautious like that.

Content-addressable schemes seem to be pretty effective in their respective niches. You lose the semantic component of dns, though. Perhaps you could add some sort of local name pinning.

If we imagine the internet is going to keep expanding at anywhere near its historical rate it seems like we might have to let go of the idea of letting a single entity universally control a namespace.
cPanel hosting servers by default utilize 'AutoSSL' provided by Sectigo (formerly Comodo), but they are also free. Although I do still see cPanel customers on Let's Encrypt certificates, this is a pretty shallow argument.

If there's a key compromise at let's encrypt, the beauty of their system is that the certificates generally get replaced automatically, and best practice is to have a cron check for them nightly, or at least weekly. There should be no situation like Equifax where it goes on for months.

Finally, my employer has moved on to AutoSSL via cPanel and Sectigo, but we still have some holdouts. I'm currently waiting over a month for a certificate issuance from Enom & Sectigo because of some documentation BS. Been working with them for well over a decade, and it's getting worse all the time. We have another cheap certificate from Sectigo via Enom, and we're stuck in a fraud check hell, and they won't even let us begin to configure it. We are a company in good standing with thousands of domains with Enom, and thousands of paid SSL certificates in our order pipeline over the years with Comodo/Sectigo, and yet we can't even get a $10 certificate issued in under 2 weeks.

These companies are dying, and they have themselves to blame.
I suppose so. I guess we are coming out of the phase when a nice app was enough to convince that "this is so much better than a bank". We're maturing as customers.
there things were its the reverse though. Like if you maniplating things at the byte level you have play with packing and unpacking the data unless its a binary format aready undertood by python. Like for instance common steing encoding like utf8. Also if your calling native functions from python that expects structs as arguments its a bit annoying.

I'd be interested in opposing views, as there must be some, judging by the reaction, but the above seems very apparent to me - I don't see why people would disagree or consider it controversial. Sanders wants to tax high earners to fund the debt forgiveness, and even if that would be sufficient, those funds would not be available for other spending (e.g., medicare for all, or the next "should be free for all" program - "housing for all", etc.)
Regardless of how popular Rust becomes, I cannot see C going away or fading into complete obscurity within decades from now.

I also am. I love the simplicity of vue api, but I hate vue-cli, webpack(it is good because it's configurable and extensible, but it's overwhelmingly complex, all the output formats are a pain to debug, I have never seen sourcemaps work in chrome developer tools) and single file components.

That led me to create my own architecture to scaffold vue apps, which Evan You seems to hate.

This is completely non-sense and ridiculous, as Chinese citizen, first of all we don’t use email like you do and considering the huge amount of people the method to test the civic honesty is never fair at the first place. Those plastic bags could be easily cleaned by our street cleaner because it doesn’t look like a wallet AT ALL! Secondly we use we chat, the test has never considered China’s local customs, we have lost & found in every police station and we have those police stations every twice a block. People could just put the bag there! And why would any Chinese citizen want to keep a bag with only that much of money? Each country has different type of culture and indeed we are conservatives, a lot of us will not contact the owner if we can just give them to the police station. This test is completely non sense and not realistic.
> Would you say that my claim is... ?

And by asking a question, you have no answer for mine? You seem to think that claims aren't true or false if we don't know whether they are true or false. What your doing is equivocating the likelihood of the method to produce true claims with whether a stated claim is likely to be true.

> I didn't claim I had a certain basis.

So you are not certain if religion is incompatible with science?

> By demonstrating water that boils only at 150°C+ at 1 atm?!

So, by your words, every falsifiable claim is not falsifiable with certainty, because any claim X that states the falsification of some falsifiable claim Y can be falsified.

> As far as we know, everything we perceive could be illusion/simulation/whatever WRT "ultimate reality", so making that claim in the sense that our senses are in any way reliable for detecting "ultimate reality" (i.e., "the programmer that wrote the simulation") is unwarranted, and there certainly is no evidence supporting such a claim.

How do you know this with certainty?

As far as you know everything you perceive could be illusion/simulation/whatever WRT "ultimate reality", so making that claim in the sense that our senses are not in any way reliable for detecting "ultimate reality" (i.e., "the programmer that wrote the simulation") is unwarranted, and there certainly is no evidence supporting such a claim.
At the moment I am using a few pi to control my garden systems. I just built an open source system (https://mudpi.app) to help manage the sensors and relays. Actually gearing up for a launch soon.

Being able to regulate my watering and control it from my phone as been awesome. The whole thing emits events with sensors on redis so its open for systems to hook on top of it. Pi was the ideal choice to keep inital costs low. The amount of power you get for the price is pretty sweet.

The other pi is running the same code moderating lights on a basement shelf of plants too.

The last pi I am using retro pi to play some old school roms.
