How much business value as a developer did you deliver today?
Let me explain, im an old programmer. It feels these days as a developer, im spending more and more time to just get things running.Containers, updating libs, frame works, agile, scrum, lets use the latest xyz. I used to spend 80% of my time creating business value and 20% on all the basics. Now im happy with 5% time on business value.

If the server only reacts to POST, then Access-Control-Allow-Origin may be enough, because the browser will fist do a preflight OPTIONS, and if
Access-Control-Allow-Origin is not set, the POST will not be made by the browser.
I guess this is an autocorrect issue, but you certainly mean simultaneity. Anyway, I have been through several university courses on special and general relativity with all the math and have at least some basic understanding of the thing. However, as said before, I have no real intuition for it.

So the only thing I can work from right now is the elevator thought experiment and it seems to me that I can have a perfectly straight rod in a 100 km wide elevator accelerating at 9.81 m/s² while a light ray would bend downwards by 0.5 µm. So ignoring the fact that Earth's gravitational field is not uniform, this seems to suggest that even a rod made out of some common material would not be bend or appear bend or whatever in Earth's gravitational field. Maybe this analogy just leaves the realm of validity of the thought experiment, but I honestly don't know.

I am also not convinced by your analogy with the triangle on a sphere, gravity is curvature of spacetime but the analogy involves only curvature of space. If you tell me that you are a physicist specialized in general relativity, I will take your word for it, otherwise I will keep some doubt about getting my nice rod bend in the same way the light path gets bend, after all they are two quite different things, an extended object versus a path through spacetime.
I worked in a photography store in Italy in the summer 30 years ago or so. That's not always what was happening.

Neither I nor anyone else working there ever looked at anyone's private pictures, but the guy delivering them from the lab would sometimes joke about or allude to customers' photos, always from some other store. Even as a kid, I found that troubling. It also made me wonder what he told other stores about our clients' pictures.

Might, might not, I was just amused at revolutionaries becoming unemployed through DIY.

Comrade Karl did not know half of it when he penned "The bourgeoisie, historically, has played a most revolutionary part."

The technology already exists, but not all stickers you might want to stick to a laptop has that good type of sticky chemistry. So the implication is that the achieve such a "fix" would require regulation to limit the types of stickers that are generally available. It would potentially be global as well, since people travel and put stickers from travel on their gear. Also, sometimes people put bumper stickers on laptops. Should we limit the chemistry of bumper stickers? Obviously this leads to madness, and I would not want such burdensome regulation.
> There is a concrete advantage to using a scheme where 0 is true and all other values are false: error codes. True means the operation succeeded correctly, or false because of insufficient permissions, false because there file doesn't exist, false because of io error, false because of timeout etc. bash uses this scheme.

That works perfectly fine if you write the type as an integer type and define 0 as "no error". You can't call that a C "bool" though.

Exactly. Having worked in teams which handle personal data of consumers I know how easy it would be to misuse the privilege.

Fukuyama’s recent books are genuinely scholarly and thorough.
Every time someone says "banking is highly regulated", a banking executive does not go to prison for breaking a banking regulation in a way that has quietly cost consumers hundreds of thousands of dollars in aggregate.

I have no interest in protecting banks from businesses that act just like banks, and then get punished for doing those things, only because they are not legally considered banks. The last time banks pushed the limits, failed, and caused damage to the entire economic system, it was 2007-2009, and no one was ever held individually responsible for it. I haven't forgotten or forgiven.

So yes, please. Hurt banks. Protecting them just turns them into privileged asses. The "tight regulations" function mainly as their cartel membership rules.

Split tally sticks worked as privately-issued financial instruments for centuries, before banking lobbied to have them outlawed. Banking works better (for the banker) when there are no lawful alternatives to the bank's notes. A cryptographic equivalent to a split tally stick is very acceptable from a historic perspective.

The concept of a minimum wage ON IT'S OWN, is flawed. There also needs to be a maximum wage or you know what happens all those who were at $15 will want a ramp that places them in the same relative position versus all others as it was before.
It matters not if the minimum wage was $200 per hour if the UAW wage was then set at $800 - minimum wage earners would be just as unable to buy a new car as they are now. The group at minimum needs to ramp up, while the rest have a limit. That way purchasing power would broaden.
In Germany the organised labor does not get 5-10x what current fed minimum (~~$7.50) is. They say the UAW total package with benefits and perks is about $60 per hour, with less than half in wages the rest in pensions and benefits.

I've been hoping that somebody would do this for quite some time. I previously experimented with using CloudFront logs in GoAccess for awhile for my personal blog in order to avoid invasive JavaScript-based tracking, but it was too much trouble to maintain.

I really like the idea of the CDN provider offering this as a service that requires no effort and provides a nice interactive dashboard.

The pricing on this is unfortunately too much for me to justify using it for my personal site, but I'd happily use it for anything more substantive.
In fairness, I know lots of people who have broken critical systems without having written a line of code. The screwdriver my friend dropped onto a server motherboard (point side down) is my favourite personal example, but there are plenty of others.

Agreed. I really don’t see how removing stickers off an aluminum case is really that difficult.

It happens a lot, unfortunately, for multiple reasons. First is ordinary power loss, then the fact that Rpi comes with no power button so people get impatient and yank the power (ok, that’s not unexpected, but corruption is), and then Rpis have long been known to be finicky with their power requirements. In the latter case, I've seen it happen from a too-long USB power cable.

One can argue about whether those reasons are in the "but the user should know better" column, but when they result in a corrupted filesystem, they nevertheless add up to a poor user experience.

Hope one day the Rpi has easygoing power requirements and a button you can push for orderly shutdown.
This is fair, but it's also fair to point out that the reason why public transit in the US tends to be so much slower than driving for commuting is precisely because we've invested far more money and land and policies into driving.

Now that I live in Munich, doing folding scooter + train is faster than driving to work. Mostly because public transportation here is good, rather than bad, because they've chosen to invest seriously in multiple modes of transport, rather than just one.
Kind of incredible that this is the first time I remember Stripe being down in a long, long time.

They are referring to potential actual owners: the heirs of a past owner are relevant because of their putative inheritance of actual ownership. Adverse possession settles claims on favor of the putative owner openly occupying property for the required period over other putative owners.

It's funny, because in St. Louis, MO (often considered a heavily-blighted city by outsiders) the presence of densely-occupied street parking is usually seen as a sign of wealth. Blighted areas instead have what appear to be extra-wide roads, because they are two-lane roads with space for parking -- but nobody's parking there.

Both blighted and wealthy areas are full of city lots drawn before automobiles, so nobody has much room for parking without sacrificing part of their back yard. Some wealthy people do build parking pads and garages to do this, but the alleys are so narrow that navigating something like a Cadillac SUV into a back-of-lot garage is... problematic.

One form of travel important in the pre-modern world was the religious pilgrimage. Considering the risks it’s surprising people undertook them at all.

The reason fighters were leaders probably had as much to do with practicality as “domination”, because organizing society for war was a big undertaking and extended into peace time. Even in societies where women are now acknowledged to have held considerable power, like the historical Cherokee, the military hierarchy had considerable social power during peace time and was majority male.

Square's now shuttered Order app [1] also used to offer just in time order preparation [2]:

> With the newest version of the app, Square will flip the model so that food will be prepared just in time for the customer arrive, thanks to a new arrival prediction feature. The technology is designed to track users as they approach a store they’ve ordered from and alert it when they’re nearby so an order can be made just in time.

> For the technology to work, sellers need to set preparation times for different items on their menu. The app then creates a sort of geofence around the business, and recognizes when a customer is nearby and someone should start on an order.

This worked particularly well for me every morning when I'd order a latte, it's great to see more businesses offer similar functionality.

Real time strategy games are peculiar because they are played mostly moment to moment in a very reactive style with very little medium or long term planning (beyond the next batch of units in production). So a neural network with a tiny bit of memory should be able to play that by essentially learning counters and a few harrassment and attack tricks. Sure, there's a bit more involved, but when you look at it, any RTS strategy decomposes into a lot of short term behaviours that are sequenced based on momentary triggers.

A more interesting challenge in my mind is a game that focusses genuinely on longer term planning, where actions taken at a certain time lead to results 10 to 15 minutes later in game that is simulated in a continuous fashion (that is, definitely not turn based and with no way to discretize it perfectly into turns). The loss of a turn structure makes applying min-max-search based strategies hard to apply - each side can make any number of moves in sequence. Add non-discrete moves (e.g. turn unit with a certain turn rate for an arbitrary amount of time, then move forward for another arbitrary amount of time) and the search space becomes vast and unstructured, potentially even unbounded. Solutions to that should be very interesting.
Seems like it would minimize the number of things you needed to steal to make it worth your effort. One!
It's not exactly a corner of the web I frequent, so your guess is as good as mine. The ones I've heard of include drugs, armaments, zero-day security exploits, data breaches, and identity theft. Child porn and human trafficking are probably on there somewhere too. Porn (between consenting adults) isn't a dark-web industry, at least in the West: you can put a credit card into any number of adult businesses online and get your fill of any sexual fetish imaginable without breaking any laws.

Why on earth would you assume this, so obviously contradicted by the evidence?

The more I see hyperbolic comments presuming everyone/thing is evil/bad/stupid

The corporatocracy is a pretty pure Darwinian machine for encouraging sociopathy. It's not a matter of 'everyone' being malign, it's that we live in a society (which often, and tellingly, mislabels itself an 'economy') carefully designed to place the worst people in positions of power.

Most people understand this now (even if they're not sure what to do about it yet). It's perhaps unsurprising that the news takes a while to filter through to those benefitting most.
Python will happily do this too, if you remove the ".0" in the example, the values become integers, instead of floats, and the computation is precise.

The point is to demonstrate a property of IEEE floats, not the language. I'd expect CL has some means of using IEEE floats too, and with the appropriate syntax, the same issues could be demonstrated.
That can be how it works. I know someone who engineered their own layoff, by asking for it, to get a year's salary and tax benefits of doing so. It is possible but it depends on a lot of factors.

If you live in SV and the next job is paying crazy money it might not be worth it, as hanging around trying to get a payout is an opportunity cost. But in some circumstances it is worth considering.

Oh, please. With all the questions for Hollywood, it's worst creations are still much better than any TV-serie ever made.

When they produce a movie, they want to sell it to auditory, to lure us into theaters and make to pay for tickets. They are attaching stars and buying stories and making trailers and posters.

The only purpose of TV-serie is to work out a Pavlov dog reflex: they want us to be before a TV every week at the same time. So they are making cliffhangers and misterious faces, and are filling all the emptyness with action scenes and dialogs.

NB: I am aware that some of Netflix production are not series but feature movies.
You are not in Southern California then. Traffic circles and road humps are quite endemic.

This is sufficiently common that I could use road humps as a proxy for "Am I going the correct direction?" back before nav systems. Maybe you weren't going the completely right direction, but a road hump (or traffic circle) meant you were on a road sufficiently useful that it needed a traffic calming measure.

Cities with winter have extra considerations, though.

IMO image recognition in computer game would not be hard to implement and it would be very pricise. So it wouldn't change anything in the end. And image recognition for computer game probably is not very useful. Also your brain is limited by neuron number, your energy source and AFAIK AI does not use those limits either. It might be interesting in a sport sense to compare human and computer which allowed to use only 10 watts of power, for example. But in practice you don't have those limits, so it's more interesting to push the bounds.

Wait. If the resource at bank.com is protected by a CORS filter, the request which is issued at step three will have an origin header, and the CORS implementation is free to issue a 401 at that point. At least as far as I have understood. That would be tightening the restrictions. Am I missing something?

This is simply not true at a high level of play. Timing attacks, base expansions, and tech transitions involve both medium and long-term planning.
