I don’t have anything to add, but I really enjoyed your imagery. It also feels true.

Depends on where the permissions logic is stored, but to add information such as the example of can user a access the data of company x, then the IAM provider has to make a call back to the service where this information is stored. Its unlikely you'd want to store logic like that within the IAM provider, nor is it necessarily possible.
But if you are relying on the IAM provider for user permissions, then you still have the bottleneck of a centralised permission service, its just now your IAM provider.
The only scenario i can think of where its more efficent, is in role based authentication.
That's bad luck. I agree it's a crap system, designed to keep costs down. If you live in Stockholm, you can pay 500kr and go to cityakuten.
Beyond the factoid, the article unfortunately does not delve into why the population is concentrated in such region. Especially India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, that is most of the subcontinent has very uncomfortable weather, but still is highly populated, I wonder why? Why didn't people in the early ages decided to move to more temperate climes?

I don't think it is useful to think in terms of simplicity vs. complexity. Good design is about knowing what features work well together. Composition, harmony and efficiency are more important than minimalism.
I’m not going to diss you or downvote you here, but this statement (quoted below) reminded me of what the WhatsApp blog said when it was acquired by Facebook. There is no way you can guarantee, even for a few months, that System1 won’t change Waterfox in any of its privacy aspects. Anything can happen after acquisitions. So people who are wary have prior experience and history to rely on and fuel their skepticism.

Is the title peak buzzword-era, or is there more to come?
Of course it does, because there is going to be a maximum of the range A, B. Even if the maximum itself would have a uniform distribution, the fact is that all numbers drawn from the samples will be below it.

So the probability that the number starts with a 5 (in decimal representation) is sort of like the probability of the sum over all N of:

(Maximum > N)
(Number starts with 5 given that Maximum is N)

The thing is that when N is anything less than 9,999 etc. the second probability IS NOT 1/10. It is skewed towards the lower numbers due to the most significant digit being less than 9 more frequently!!!

So this is the real explanation. And I just came up with it on the spot while writing this. Yay!

Hehe
UK went a little crazy sometime after the American colonies split.

I mean, the US screwed up their fluid ounce / weight ounce so that a US fluid oz of water doesn't quite weight a US oz, but the UK redefined a hundredweight as 112 lbs to make it an even number of stones, and even though they kept their ounces correct, they redefined a pint to 20 ounces so now there's nowhere in the world a pint's a pound.
There's plenty of contractors in Europe who can effectively be fired without giving a cause. They are often the most experienced and valuable people and the "firing at will" is not a big issue for them - they are paid for it (much more than full time employees).

Similarly, tech people in the US make much more than European FTEs - you don't get protections, but you get paid so much that it's trivial to save up money to just protect yourself against any periods of unexpected unemployment.
You're right. My bad.

To be transparent, I have used Upwork in the past and would use it again as a client.

What he's saying is pretty spot on. ANY market place that's wide spread/large enough is an efficiency system that goes to fair market value.

Is there a fix that I could provide? No, because what he's complaining about, someone in India is praising. The Indian designer can get discovered. Pumps out good, solid work at 94% success and makes way more money than he ever could staying local to his/her area.

It is outsourcing and the article writer might have more skills, completely possible, but in a market place that turns skills into commodities you need to stand out. Relates to the clients better w/ background, stronger portfolio, bigger named contracts. There are expensive designers on Upwork for sure, and they deserve it, but they didn't get there out of the gate.

If I had a friend who was a designer in a first world country that asked about Upwork, I'd say avoid it. Make friends with local companies, upsell into bigger ones, and shun Upwork.

Your advantage has to be, you can sidestep it.
I can't edit it now but I was talking about the default Reddit app for Android, not the new mobile website. The website was pretty fast for me. But because of these new changes you can't even view a subreddit without using the app.

I just installed Boost for Reddit and it is pretty fast. But thanks for letting me know about i.reddit.com, I didn't even know that exists. The old Reddit is still the best on desktops, I hope they don't kill it.

Well no, JWT tokens are there to validate a call can be made. e.g., that whoever has made the HTTP call to your API server has been allowed to do so by the user. JWT tokens aren't there to tell you what the user themselves are allowed to do. What the user is allowed to do is an entirely different thing and you shouldn't rely on bearer tokens to tell you that.

Again, you leave out important details. It's also capped at a low level - like 80% of 3000 Euros/month or something. So high earners like you (and me) feel a bit more pain.

Over a multi-year or multi-decade time horizon, it just deteriorates.

See https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/transmission...

"Most often, spread from person-to-person happens among close contacts (about 6 feet). Person-to-person spread is thought to occur mainly via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes, similar to how influenza and other respiratory pathogens spread."

She said it was amazingly beautiful and would have been really moved by it had it not been written by an AI. I counter-argued that human curation of AI generated text was a perfectly valid expression of love. I lost :-|.

The model generates results that are formatted like love letters with reasonably structured phrases. Verbatim reproduction of training content seems very low. But the sentences are often nonsensical and there's not much context preservation apart from some repetition.

However it does generate some quite interesting original phrases:
" Mon âme a moins de conversations que le désir "
" C'est une joie bien trop violente pour moi "
" vous [êtes] comme l'eau d'un pur amour "

These phrases can be cherry-picked based on the feeling you're trying to convey and used to compose unique letters influenced by the best french writers in history.

Technically: an OpenAI GPT-2 model (117/124M parameters) trained on around 1Gb of french classical litterature was fine-tuned on 300Kb of french love poetry and love songs.

We used GPT-2-Simple https://github.com/minimaxir/gpt-2-simple and GPT-2-Cloud-Run https://github.com/minimaxir/gpt-2-cloud-run by Max Woolf.

The base french model (GPT2-French) was trained by William Jacques: https://github.com/aquadzn/gpt2-french. We used his "romans" model which is trained using text from https://www.bibebook.com/download, which looks like a compilation of project Gutenberg french novels. His model is trained over 5000 steps.

Fine-tuning was done using Max Woolf's Colab notebook: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1VLG8e7YSEwypxU-noRN... and lasted only 600 steps (less than 30 minutes). Less steps and the content wasn't great, more and it started to reproduce training content verbatim.
Well the point is, Authenticating the user happens before the JWT token is issued, and authorizing an action happens after the JWT token is viewed. Authorizing a user on the backend to perform an action is an entirely different thing.

For example, a user signs in and gets a JWT token that has the permission Delete.Everything which in this example is the permission required to delete all a users resources, the client takes this and passes it to the backed. On the backend however, the user might not even be allowed to delete everything. Maybe they're under investigation, or maybe this particular service just doesn't allow it. But its not the role of the JWT to tell you whether or not this particular user is allowed to perform that action, all the JWT token tells you is that this user has allowed the bearer of the JWT token to perform that action on their behalf. But, doesn't mean the user is allowed to perform that action to begin with, so the user has given the client permission to perform an action they themselves aren't allowed to perform.

Surgical masks are meant to stop droplets and large particles but aren't rated to filter airborne particulates. These more or less protect people from sneezing or coughing directly onto one another.

The next step up from a surgical mask is an NIOSH rated mask / respirator. These carry a letter and number rating the letter is either N, R, or P and the number is typically 95 - 100. N95 is a NIOSH filter rating and where the term N95 mask comes from. These will filter out any viruses and other particulates in the air. There are studies showing that N95 Masks are effective.

https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/topics/respirators/disp_part...

edit: all that said there are studies that show both types have similar effectiveness at preventing infections in healthcare workers so I wouldn't go around telling people that any of them are useless.

In the UK, yards are used almost exclusively for exit distance markers. I don't recall ever hearing/seeing them used for anything else in my entire life.
Most of the CSVs I've encountered used the semicolon as a field separator, probably for exactly this reason, even ones from American sources. JSON has a standard format for writing numbers, which happens to be the American one, and I don't know what other data formats are sensitive to the comma.

I don't store floats in the users locale and I don't think anyone should, just like dates should be stored in UTC (timestamps, preferably) instead of in any local date format. However, many programmers seem to forget that if you don't specify a locale, the system will choose one for you and its probably the one the user set up while installing their system, just like what would happen with any date or time.

I'm not going to change the way I write numbers because some American programmer thinks it's too annoying to bother and neither are my customers. Localisation is important to remember because if you don't, you're going to be burned by it at some point. This is just another gentle reminder about that.
That may well be, but the predominant concern is larger droplets from a cough or sneeze. I don't recall seeing anything speaking of airborne transmission.
No one voted for climate change either, yet here we are. Sometimes you just have to deal with reality.
Yes, I consider it to be expensive. The bigger issue with these storage platforms is that they don’t offer a lower priced tier. Not everybody wants or needs 2TB of storage. If they were to offer a lower quota at a lower price, that would be more appropriate, especially for people whose main currency isn’t USD or EUR or GBP. But this won’t happen even with a yearly pricing (where transaction processing fees are a smaller fraction) because these companies aren’t interested in providing solutions for those who don’t want to spend a lot (and have lower requirements). They will come around after they find that their developed country and enterprise markets are saturated and want to expand further.

You can take a look at Backblaze B2 or Hetzner Storage services (there are two kinds in this) for cheaper and lower priced options. I don’t have experience with either of these to provide a strong recommendation either way.
I find it hard to have discussions at a higher level on the internet (http://owensoft.net/v4/item/2559/). Everything is a beginner JavaScript tutorial catered to noobs but it never goes beyond that because going beyond that noob-stuff is difficult and the audience is smaller. So I end up digging deeper and deeper into the internet which wastes more and more of my time. And probably the worse thing about the new internet is that if you point this out the defenders of internet will attack you for being negative and looking beyond the curtain of low hanging fruit which they constantly postulate about. I agree wholeheartedly with the article but I do not see how it can be fixed. There are just 2 internets and if you want to be creative you should just avoid the new internet altogether because it consumes everyone it touches.

It's my pet peeve when people use "emotions" as the only alternative to something undesirable.

Corporations should be driven by the bottom line,no one questioned that. Having a purpose,long term sustainability and stability,maintaining your integrity ,not breaking laws,not harming other human beings is not being "emotional",it is as much emotional as greed is an emotion.
Well yes, but sometimes its not the user that authorizes the JWT token holder to perform the action to begin with, which is why there is the distinction between authenticating the user and authorizing a service to perform an action.
JWT tokens don't tell you what the user is allow to do, they tell you what the service/client is allowed to do on behalf of the user. There still needs to be a seperate check to see if the user themselves are even allowed to perform a particular action to begin with, to have even allowed something else to do it on their behalf, and thats what solves some of the stateness issue, in that, if you have for example an admin, who gets fired, even if they still have a valid JWT token that says the client is allowed to perform certain actions on their behalf, there is still a check to see if the user can perform those actions, so as soon as they are fired or demoted, the backend will instantly stop performing actions on their behalf regardless of what the JWT token says they can do.

> Turing’s approach to the problem would be the solution that has endured, likely due to Church’s solution’s reliance on his so-called λ-calculus

So-called λ-calculus? Isn't that rather dismissive of λ-calculus. λ-calculus contributed not only to mathematics/computer science, but also, logic, linguistics, etc. Not to mention its practical contributions in many programming languages. And as long as the Church-Turing theorem endures, church's so-called λ-calculus will endure as well.

Interesting article nonetheless. I wonder if Turing's correspondences are available to the public online?

> I am not arguing that globalizing your compute resources through a community cloud is any less important than globalizing your compute resources through your enterprise cloud (though I am somewhat of a skeptic about the value of community clouds). The important point is that migrating to a global cloud requires a state-of-the-art approach to container-native load balancing, container-native load balancing on AWS, and container-native load balancing on other clouds. And you need to be prepared to pay for it.
> This means the Service must be created first, then when the corresponding NEG is created the name can be queried and added to the Terraform project.

These kind of reverse dependencies, where app level changes have to be reflected in infrastructure are source of endless bugs and headaches.

To do it right, you'd want to encode app and infra changes in the same ubiquitous tool, but "infrastructure as a code" tools such as terraform suck big times at app level deploys.

Pulumi takes steps in right direction, where it is actually not that painfull to manage everything, that is what I ended up using for very similar problem configuring GCPs load balancers for my k8s apps.

In the UK colloquial units are weird.

Some units are imperial

People's height in Feet
People's weight in Stones+Pounds
Beer in Pints (proper pints, not american tiny-pints)
Roads in Miles

Others are metric

Temperature in C
Milk in Litres
Petrol in litres, but we also use miles/gallon
Food in grams from shops, but oz when buying steak at a pub
Bottles and Cans in ml

Road distances on signs do tend to be yards rather than metres. Areas are often in acres, or square metres.
