It is never obscure when you know it. And sure, it was always meant that way.
It's just rarely used this way, which is why it's in this list.

Here's what the example yields once preprocessed:

.value = "!",
};

struct operator operator_different = {
.priority = 70,
.value = "!=",
};

struct operator operator_mod = {
.priority = 30,
.value = "%",
};

> What could you possibly study four hours a day that would be worthwhile?

You're quite correct that ephemeral and arbitrary arcana makes up a HUGE portion of current applied knowledge in the software field.

But if I could study 8+ hours a day over decades, I'm willing to bet I couldn't exhaust the limits of language/platform independent applicable computer science and mathematics that's presently available, let alone keep up with any new developments. And that's before getting into domain-dependent specific issues and practices.

Sure, I am fine with that (else I would have proposed the abysmal `f(Y(f))`); but `f Y f` suffers from the ambiguity of `f (Y f)` versus `(f Y) f`, and, at least from my familiarity with Haskell, I automatically parse it as the latter (which I am guessing was not what proc0 intended).
You may be right, but being European, I fail to see how this responsibility falls on the shoulders of countries here from Ireland to the Ukraine. I mean, wages have stagnated here for the lower-mid class, basically we've never left the recession, what you're saying is a tough sell here.

Not saying we don't care, I'm saying we can't afford to care.

I mean, the West has been giving taxpayer money and aid to Africa for decades, to compensate for colonialism and it has mostly ended up in the hands of corrupt despots and warlords, ironically making life worse for some people there.

So giving more taxpayer money to other corrupt regimes is not something we should quickly jump to.

This looks useful.

FWIW, you can build a curses-style terminal GUI with Urwid (in Python) and use that through the web. AFAIU, it requires Apache; but it's built on Tornado (which is now built on Asyncio) so something more lightweight than Apache on a Pi should definitely be doable. Termpage with like a Go or Rust REST API may still be more lightweight, but more work.

I used the GitHub API search endpoint to find them and some extra code to filter them - searching for projects last updated more than 3 months ago with more than 5 open issues and more than 2/3 of open issues having had no response from a maintainer.

Just today, I uncovered an old gift card from a dept store called Rich's, which apparently became part of Macy's. I have no idea how old the card is, but it has a year 2000 logo on it.

The card has a 800 number on it to check its status. So I called it and entered the card number. It was unrecognized. :-(

It was probably a $50 holiday gift to me at some point.

I wonder whose pocket that money ended up in?

What a racket gift cards are.
If the credit card number is the end goal, sure.

However, there are many other goals of phishing: Pivoting through another person/company to reach another target, IP theft, espionage, corporate sabotage, impersonation, etc.
Paragraph 8 from your link:

Yes, people can apply for asylum after entering the country unlawfully. No, that doesn't mean you get free reign of the country while your case is decided. Nor does your illegal entry bar you from applying or receiving.

It's notable though that the vast majority of asylum seekers illegally entering the US via the southern border are not refugees and do not qualify for asylum. This is easily seen by the fact that they are crossing from their home country into Mexico and not applying for asylum even though Mexico is largely a safe place to live compared to, for example, Honduras.

Sure, here are some first impressions from someone who has no real experience with Jupyter, Observable, etc. :)

I'm really amazed at the seamless reading and editing experience. This is very well-made, I can see it must have been quite an effort to make it feel so effortless.

The ability for a code block to provide a "mini UI" is perfect. A reader can tweak controls and see immediate visual feedback, in the form of graphs, algorithms with variables..

One control I missed was a stop button - for the second example, I wanted to pause the generation of the 3D city/terrains, to continue reading.

I liked the dotted blue vertical lines to indicate "block focus", to see what it contains when I click edit.

While dragging a block, I had some difficulty crossing over another block which was long - in fact, I couldn't swap them, since dragging down didn't trigger the scroller to start. From what I know, this relates to the "center of gravity" during drag, whether the dragged block goes under another one. As for the scroller, maybe it's using a range that needs to be bigger, so that when I drag a block "below" the bottom of the screen, it starts scrolling.

Anyway, lots of fun and impressive work! This looks very useful for educational purposes. You're really hitting a sweet spot with the concept - (just iterating on this phrase to get my head around it), a social publishing platform for interactive content.

Great execution, and I'm looking forward to seeing it grow.

Sounds like "people who care" are people that have spent a lot of money on art and need to respond to this post to justify it. Or are artists themselves and need to prove their worth.

> Therefore, the question of where do the Born probabilities come from (an open question in QM) is shown to be inextricably linked to an understanding of the physical basis of consciousness (another big open question.) The Born probabilities may represent the "amount of consciousness" (of "you", the observer) that is split among newly factored subspaces, every time "you" get further fragmented, aka. decohered, aka.

This is the narcissist interpretation of quantum mechanics. No object constancy, quantum consciousness, Hume's "I believe it when I see it" are all narcissist perspectives on objects.

I'm wondering if constraint programming is better suited to such cases? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constraint_programming
Specifically, the known cases of this are people which have taken up arms against the nation, and joined a known terrorist organization. Potentially, even killing citizens of their former country.

I don't see a way to capture and try such an individual without having more citizens put in harm's way, or killed too. If the individual is in a training camp that is targeted and happens to be killed as well - I personally don't think anything of it. But that is starkly different than assassinating some individual in their apartment or hotel, or whatever. To me, one is warfare, and the other is murder - I do make that distinction.

Perhaps we must agree to disagree.

Ah this makes sense. There was this vague references in my mind that SpringSource belonged to VMware and now Pivotal is parent company for Spring. So they are all kinda together.
Levine's focus on the principle-agent and manifest vs. covert aspects of short-term vs. long-term returns hits on a theme of risk in economic activity that I've been noodling at.

In one sense, Levine's argument is for better tools for making, and costing / pricing in risks and rewards of future activities. Or perhaps he's observing that a bird in the hand wins over two, or four, or four hundred, in the bush, no matter what.

Given that risk, uncertainty, imperfect, and nonuniformly unveiled and available information are givens in the real world, this is a bit of a stumper for economics.

Alternatively, imposing obligatory constraints through other mechanisms -- say, competing and equally-considered stakeholder demands from employees, business partners, government, and community -- might be an alternate approach. Effectively removing some of the near-exclusive power now claimed by shareholders.

You're saying he was ... a loss?
A customer who wants to get money to a FOSS developer, is hard enough for developers to manage. (One success of the Apple store is that it makes getting paid easy and is easily worth the cut off the top that they take.) The current state of the art is to drop a bitcoin address in the `Readme.md` and then customers just need to pay with bitcoin. Which to be real, is too high a bar for many a customer).

It's not the worst solution, either (not saying it's super great, mind you). For the developer, BTC has no server to sysadmin (btc miners are somebody else's problem). If you're a developer that's not in/near the US financial system, it can be very difficult to get paid (eg developer in the country of Georgia, Estonia, North Korea) (Never mind the legal/moral/political question, everyone want to get paid.)

>> The purpose of a corporation is to make money.

I dont agree. Most of them that is probably true. I think the purpose is whatever the founder wants it to be, and after they're gone its whatever the person in charge says it is. Perhaps they've agreed to follow the founders vision too. I think it's up to the one in charge to tell shareholders what the purpose of the company is and if an investor wants to buy in, that would be their informed choice.

Even under that concept, I think most companies would say their purpose is to make money. But what if the purpose of SpaceX really is to colonize Mars? Is that a problem? I think not.

This is definitely non-compliant. Obviously this system is broken.

Additionally, I don't understand why companies continue to roll their own payment processing rather than paying a service that knows how to do it. I guess it seems easy...
If you have several problems, I'm a proponent of solving the hardest ones first so you know you can actually solve them. Imagine building something over a long haul, and putting off the really hard problem to show "progress," but when you get to the hard problem, it turns out your can't solve it the way you've built your system. Now you get to tear it all down and start again. This could be what your devs are doing by looking at edge cases more heavily.
I suspect it's because historically, iOS didn't have a way to embed views from one app into another app. When Apple wanted to let you view iMessages from the lock screen, or expose iMessage via Share buttons in third-party apps, they accomplished that by shoving most of iMessage into the operating system itself.

These days, there are systems to do this properly (it's how third-party keyboards work, for example), but Apple is a small indie company that does not have the resources to refactor iMessage to use the iOS features they created.

> Their docs also cover how not to store a JWT as well.

Well, it tells you something about that JWTs allow more ways to misuse the token spec which already makes it a bad standard. alg = none is still in the standard, no encryption by default and there is no sane cryptographic choice to sign/encrypt the JWT, which allows developers to shoot themselves in the foot as what we have here with using it with sessions.

Fernet [0] was the closest to being a successor of a better standard, but I believe PASETO [1] or even Branca [2] tokens look much more better alternative for JWTs. If not, then the good old session cookie may suffice even.

Assuming B, the intersection of set I = {people that entered the country illegally} and D = {people who made an asylum claim that was denied} consists of people that broke the law by entering the US illegally.

Yes. You can drive ceramic spikes into random trees across a forest.

If you drive them at a low height, it will break chainsaws, and disrupt lumber operations. If you drive them at a higher height, it won't disrupt the harvesting, but will produce a truly spectacular surprise at the sawmill that processes the lumber. If done a few years before logging operations, it is almost undetectable.

Having a $10,000 sawblade ruined, and a work line being taken out of service until the blade can be replaced seriously sours lumberyards on the prospect of dealing with spiked wood.

Of course, the spikers will be called lunatics, eco-terrorists, communists, job-killers, worker-killers, and every possible effort will be taken by the authorities to hunt them down like dogs. Tree spiking is a felony in the United States, and, given the track record of how resource firms tend to deal with environmental/native/land rights activists in developing nations (quickly, and violently), is almost certainly a 'needs killin' offense' in much of Central and South America.
