> From Libra's white paper this appears impossible.

How so? Can you be specific? I quote the whitepaper:

"The Libra Blockchain is pseudonymous and allows users to hold one or more addresses that are not linked to their real-world identity."

The only difference that I see is that you could mine Bitcoin anonymously. You could also buy Bitcoin with cash in a private transaction, but the same can be said for Libra.
The debt-owners have spent a lot of money lobbying politicians to pass laws that make it harder to declare bankruptcy.

The debt-owners can hire much more expensive lawyers than you can. The debt-owners have gotten you to sign a contract that says any disputes will be handled by an arbitration bureau, in person, in a state where the laws are most in their favor.

The debt-owners have the cops on their side.

What are you doing about this? Who do you vote for, who do you give money to? Both in terms of political or charitable donations and in terms of who your landlord's giving money to, what the entertainment corporations you patronize are giving money to, etc.

(Not just you: everyone who agrees with this. Including me. I know I'm sure not dropping everything to fight the creeping economic injustice that's burning the Earth alive and concentrating more and more money in the hands of fewer and fewer people.)
Citus is a fork of Postgresql and you would need to run it on it's own infrastructure.

AWS Aurora Postgresql regular flavor does support some of the popular extensions but that may not be the case with this flavor since it has some memory, image space and execution time limits that the other managed Aurora solution would not.

That said, being able to keep a pool of warm database clients at the ready for unpredictable write loads looks like it would be a winner and AWS has reliably improved to add requested features.
Stories like this are wonderful evidence of the effectiveness of public disclosure of security vulnerabilities, and are always heartwarming to see. Remember, 90-day disclosure windows are just a courtesy.
But then archive.org will ignore it (but point the crawler at the directories you helpfully linked it to) and those caches will show up in Google
How coupled is Dark with the Dark language? I understand that the purely functional nature of the language makes its integration with the rest of the platform easier, but the blog post doesn't go into much detail about that. What would it take to integrate Dark with:
a) another (existing) purely functional language, and
b) a general-purpose language, e.g., Go?

On my Mac, I find the LED very noticeable when it comes on unexpectedly! It's bright and green and not part of my screen. And yes, this has actually happened to me!

> Even if you are, once the camera comes on unexpectedly, it's too late.

Nah, they saw a few frames—they're very unlikely to be useful. What's more important is knowledge.

I agree we could have both, but each of these features does have a financial cost. I consider the LED significantly more important.

You can install PostGIS on a regular RDS Postgres instance - it's true that you can't install arbitrary extensions but there is a list of allowed ones, and PostGIS is one of them.
Another option is xca[0]. It's not as quick to get going as mkcert, but it's quite full featured. I used it to create an internal CA and certificates for my internal services and it works quite well.

I don't understand. If you don't trust Skype so much that you're paranoid over the quit behavior, why not use another program to communicate? Not that your paranoia is unjustified - the Snowden leaks made it abundantly clear that service is not secure nor private.
Well, it's relevant insofar as you're complaining to the wrong company.

Of course, should have included both Truman and Roosevelt.

But the point still stands. We were up against leaders who were much more bloodthirsty and had trumendous disrespect for human life. The entire world decended in to madness - the morals basically went out the window. It was kill or be killed.
Why? That is just an ordinary domain name that someone pointed at local host. I don't see why it should get any security exemptions.
Actually, it’s simpler than that: I really mean I can’t handle trackpads. Something about the angle causes me weird issues, especially with multitouch gestures; it’s a weird kind of hypersensitivity. This is even despite that Apple trackpads are glass.

I don’t have any issue with trackpoint hurting my knuckle, though I will concede it may not be as fast. I still have a surprisingly good time hitting precise targets with it, though.
I've always wondered how dangerous it would be using those services in China, wouldn't the secret police come knocking if someone was found using them?

So it’s not forced?
You should anyway. They had 90 days to do this, they didn't.

Incompetent company. Incompetent management.
Oh that's fascinating. I just got back from China a couple of weeks ago after an extended stay. I had set up Algo and Shadowsocks separately on DigitalOcean and I wasn't able to sustain that kind of speed on them for more than a couple of minutes, even back in February (I kept trying off and on until about April and then gave up).

Interesting, I had no idea Streisand has a V2Ray option at this point. May have to give it another go.
EFS is... surprisingly cheap, as long as you don’t need heavy sustained IO for more than a few hours at a time. Great for a simple file store and some big data purposes.
Curios - what's the use case for a Serverless DB?
The specific example was selling at a loss in poor countries because you need more people using your software to bolster the network effect. This makes no sense: each copy sold in a poor country at a low price is still making you money, it just isn't making as much money as the copies you sell at a higher price.

This isn't pedantry, this is discussing the actual topic of the conversation.

The difference is that you've never seen evidence of humans living anywhere outside of Long Island.

Clearly if you see humans living all over the globe they almost certainly originated elsewhere. But if humans only live on LI, then it's reasonable to conclude they originated on LI.
"All religion is foolish" is religious flamebait for sure. We have to judge this by how people react to such statements, and I guarantee you the expected value of such a thread is a flamewar.
From the Aurora FAQ:

The Amazon Aurora database engine is designed to be wire-compatible with PostgreSQL 9.6 and 10, and supports the same set of PostgreSQL extensions that are supported with RDS for PostgreSQL 9.6 and 10, making it easy to move applications between the two engines.

So looks like PostGIS is supported.
How to Join Anonymous Group?
But nothing ensures that domain name will always point to localhost. So why should browsers trust it more than other HTTP domains? It's owned by one person, so DNS registration could lapse even with the best intentions.
Ditto. Every time I use someone else’s laptop, or my Dell XPS, I feel like either I turned into some giant, or the trackpad got zapped by a shrink ray. The giant trackpad is probably the best thing about the recent MBPs.
Of the main facets of the problem, the vulnerability bothered me less than their obviously poor attitude towards fixing it in a responsible timeline, and that bothered me less than the discovery that they were running an always-active webserver to assist call launches and reinstallation.

Is that a common thing that programs do? Should I be expected to portscan myself frequently to see if software is unexpectedly running web servers? How much battery am I losing to this stuff?
> So it’s not forced?

It's not a question of establishing an absolute scale of trust. It's about admitting that you consider npm packages to be insecure, but you run them in production anyways.

Imagine you believed that steel had a 10% chance of spontaneous combustion, regardless of whether its true or not, if you believe that and you still built a bridge out of it, that's malpractice.

Your previous comment referred to losses in a single country. It makes no sense to talk about total profit/loss including overhead in that context. How do you allocate your shared overhead between the two countries such that you can say you made a loss in one country but a profit in another? If you're "selling at a loss" in a single country then the only reasonable interpretation of that is to account for the additional costs involved in serving that country, but not any shared overhead.

Yes, there are lots of other costs for running a network service besides bandwidth. But those are heavily if not completely independent of the number of users. Your anti-cheating effort costs about the same regardless of whether you have a million users or ten million users.
Bitcoin mining on an Apollo Guidance Computer: 10.3 seconds per hash
Our experience with pg aurora was awful. I cannot recommend it to anyone. Our primary would run out of memory and fail over every few hours and all amazon support had to say is that it’s a known issue.

We ended up adding even more functionality to our audit trigger package (based on a SecondQuadrant fork, https://github.com/icheishvili/audit-trigger) to allow us to get off of aurora. AWS does a good job at locking you in.

Those would be reasons a union can represent all workers in a field, not reasons it has to.

This seems particularly pertinent when discussing the possibility of starting a new union in a field that traditionally hasn't had any: you're not going to suddenly get all tech workers to join up. There will be plenty of space for competing unions, and plenty of space for non-union workers.
I've managed single man remote teams.

It can work depending on the mindset.

You're right, if the single man team is looking to socialize and feels a lot of FOMO not being in the office then it won't work.

You obviously don't hire a person like that for your single man remote team.

I've found that in the vast majority of cases single man remote teams are remote because they're optimizing for a particular way of life that they enjoy; for example, the country side lifestyle with their partner and kids.

Then it usually works out fine; we will still organize for a on-site every 2-3 months for a week just to give them a bit more of sense of belonging.

You might be interested in lft's talk[1] - "Poems For Bugs" - about why people are still writing very impressive demos for the C64 and other highly limited platforms. Instead of thinking about programming as functions and objects that divide the problem into simple mostly-independent modules. It's more like trying to write a highly-constrained poem of asm instructions that fit together in incredibly clever ways[2].

Ultimately, it's up to your morals and ethics. It seems like there are more and more people who won't do something for the general good, but instead will only do it if there's some sort of reward specifically for them. I don't think it's an open-source vs. closed-source problem - I think it's just people being unwilling or unable to empathize. These people have always existed, but there's more of them and there are more avenues to expose them.

I believe we have a responsibility to steward the planet for future generations. Obviously if we all die from infections because we saved all our antibiotics for the future that wouldn't be good stewardship. But the way we hand out antibiotics to prevent a potential infection or to fatten up livestock seems to be a poor use of our resources.
I was about to object, but actually it looks like you're right; tigcc appears to only target the TI-89 et al. which run on the 16-bit Motorola 68000 series. A quick search doesn't give me any C compiler for the TI-84 after all.

Your actual point, of course, is valid regardless:)

EDIT: Oops, actually https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_Device_C_Compiler ... but then you're right about getting pretty obscure.
Agreed. The desicated remote is surprisingly convenient. The only advantage of the phone screen for these types of devices is the virtual keyboard for logging in and searching.

True. But a methane based lifeform would be radically different than the carbon based lifeforms found on Earth, and would have emerged separately.
Story time: A few years ago while I was in Uni, I came down with a sore throat. Strep throat had been going around, so I assumed that was it. I went to the college clinic to get a doctor's opinion and medication. I told him that I thought it was strep, but the doctor wanted to run some tests to see what it was specifically, but he also said, "In the meantime, I'm going to prescribe a large doses of penicillin to get a head start and kill it since it's definitely bacterial." Fast forward a few days and I'm even sicker.

The doctor called saying the tests were negative and we wanted to test to see if it was viral instead. Nothing came back. Then, he wanted to test to see if it was STD, but the tests take longer to come back. While waiting for results and continuing to take penicillin per my doctor's directions, I continue to get sicker. The infection had moved from my throat to my gums, then to my lips, then to a couple of fingers (that I accidentally slammed between a door) and my genitals.

At this point, the doctor is convinced I have an STD because it's on my genitalia despite insisting that it started in my throat. He said it could've been transmitted orally. He runs every STD test under the sun, although he sent the samples in for the wrong tests the first time, and everything comes back negative. Since they all come back negative, he is convinced I have HIV considering how quickly it spread. He orders that test.

A few days later while bedridden and during finals week, I get a call from a new doctor saying the HIV test came back negative and to come in so she could examine me herself. Considering how sick I was and for how long, she said that I clearly should have been hospitalized, despite the previous doctor that I saw nearly everyday and saw how long I had a fever for (2 weeks straight) kept telling me to just get rest. She also said that he never tested for strep throat, despite me insisting that's what I thought it was on the first visit.

The new doctor says that she thinks it's strep throat too (which the previous doctor ruled out without testing) and she runs as many tests against it as possible. Turns out that I had antibiotic-resistant strep throat that became resistant due to the penicillin that the previous doctor was so quick to prescribe to "get a head start". It turns out that the doctor had been fired and she was his replacement...for good reason.

Anyways, antibiotic-resistant infections are no joke. They get real bad, real quick. Plus, a shitty doctor can create it by prescribing medication nilly willy and force a potential HIV scare that you have to deal with for like a week. Those three weeks were the worst of my life, not just because of how sick I was, but also because I was convinced (since the doctor was) that I had HIV, forced to confront the person I assumed I contracted it from, and go through the worst pain in my life every time I had to take a piss.

This is my story in a nutshell too.

After the 2018 MacBook Pro keyboard started breaking down (after 1 year of use, once replaced already) I gave up on Apple and bought a 3 pound LG Gram 17 inch laptop.

Using Windows for the first time in 10 years, all I can say is it has come a long way. They've put serious effort into making development for linux via WSL and VS Code a dream.

The laptop is also fantastic, 17" of 16:10 real estate, light, the macbook feels like a stone now.

The downsides are the keyboard is a tad too small as it includes a numpad and takes a couple weeks to get used to. I wish it was a bit bigger, there was room for this.

The other issue is by default the laptop is set to too aggressively throttle in software and requires tweaking.

Other than that fantastic all around, 2 nvme slots, 1 upgradable ram slot, lots of IO.

Sigh, you're just not getting it, sorry to say.

I have NO TROUBLE imagining that Apple will continue to tighten the screws on this, enforcing signing through Developer TOS and requiring MAS apps to pay for distribution certs.

Direct download isn't going away, not after all the work that's gone into securing it, but if you think you can sell an app off your own site without giving Apple some identifiable info about who you are and what your code does, prepare to be disappointed.

Runtimes won't be disallowed, just that you (the user) are responsible for installing them and keeping things updated.
