I am an ex-circus performer who got into programming many years ago by making my own I.O.T juggling equipment. Nowadays I make entertainment apps for the google play store and blog about my electronics and programming projects at circusscientist.com. I also am a Linux enthusiast and build and host multiple websites, including e-commerce and affiliate sites.

I am looking to gain some proper experience in a team setting, and will work the first month for free, for the right project.

I am particularly interested in online learning, I.O.T and machine learning, as well as Linux and Android.
Also, modern processors might run the code anyway and trow away the path not taken. Its better to optimize by generating a function that does not have branches.

Custom metrics on Datadog are the main reason. We are a game company so we have all the metrics from the client games going through our server, which then send them to Datadog as custom metrics. This lets us monitor our client games in real time. When we started with Datadog many years ago it was fine, but then about 1.5 years ago they changed their billing to only allow 100 custom metrics per host. We were using about 2000 custom metrics per host. We had to aggregate the custom metrics down to an almost non-useful level to stay within the 100 custom metrics per host.

Also the $15 per host starts to add up if you want to run many smaller hosts rather than a handful of large ones.

I've been on many calls with my Datadog account rep and they refuse to budge on this. I would stay with them in a heartbeat if it was reasonably priced for what we want to do.
This is true. Some countries allow less realistic content but not more realistic content despite it being a wholly arbitrary differentiation.

Many filters censor all of it, regardless of legality and boast 99% abuse detection rates with a low false positive rate. Some filters only the more realistic content.

Realistic content does admittedly have a problem where it may become difficult for a human to differentiate it from unlawful content. Although in that particular case, it is hoped it would end up competing with unlawful content and drive demand for it down.

People with some degree of awareness to the children harmed to produce the content will not want to contribute to it when there are other avenues which are virtually indistinguishable. It may be possible to do outreach in legal outlets to raise awareness of harms or provide resources to prevent them from committing serious crime.

(Remember, everyone breaks dozens of laws a day, as none are meant to be enforced 100%.) Depending again on which lists you wind up on, you may find yourself unable to fly, ineligible for pre check, blocked from a government contract, failing an fbi background check, the target of yellow journalism, victim of police harassment, always missing flights due to random checks, or always being greeted by an entourage of your own at points of arrival.

In the US how do your solar energy subsidies work?

In the UK where green energy isn't commercially viable on its own the subsidy is implemented as Contracts for Difference. What this means is that the government ensures you get paid a specific fee for your electricity (the "strike price" decided by auction when the project subsidy was agreed) say £58 per MWh - regardless. If you actually sell electricity for £12 per MWh during a glut the government pays £46 to make up the difference, but if you sell electricity when prices are £95 per MWh during a shortage, the government gets £37 back from that.

These CfDs are auctioned, thus providing a signal about whether subsidy is needed. If bids approach the actual market price of electricity then there's no need to have any further rounds of subsidy for this class of power - apparently financial backers are happy to build such generators at the price the market will already pay.

This fits nicely with the fact that all the obvious green options are capital dominated. A traditional fossil fuel power plant consumes fuel to make power, which means below some particular price it will shut off to avoid spending more on fuel than it earns from selling electricity. But this is never true for a wind farm, or solar farm, and it's only barely in principle possible for nuclear (Nuclear fuel is expensive, but a little goes a long way). So in fact you will always sell all the power from these sources, and the only question is how much for?

>With the server-side hash already blocking this attack, the client-side hash is adding absolutely nothing.

We're saying that the protection afforded by server hashing schemes can in some cases be completely bypassed by raw user password input being present on the server when it arrives from the client.

You're saying client-side hashing adds absolutely nothing, on the grounds that all hash function input is known because it is the client, and that it may as well be plaintext at that point.

I disagree that all input is necessarily known, and that the nature of the server exploit as well as client/server architecture, topology, and client hashing scheme all factor in to whether this is the case.

If it is true that client-side hashing is beneficial in some cases, then it is also true that it does not add absolutely nothing. Good security is layered.

Moreover, it in no way obviates the need for server-side hashing, nor TLS.

For all practical purposes, using a zero-knowledge scheme such as SRP is a much better solution, but that still doesn't render client-side hashing completely pointless.

Competition. When I was in high school some 15 years ago many of my classmates wanted to make games. It was seen as fun and because it was seen as you had to be smart to do it (parents had no clue) it was in my classmates eyes the perfect combination.

Fifteen years later and the competition is huge, and the demand in overtime and the stress followed.

As you start to make even more “programming is fun” classes, what they don’t see is the other end, and then queue in the FAANG salaries as if that is indicative of what programmers salaries are.

An additional aspect is that--in terms of language design--in many cases "do what Python does" was the design principle followed, so that helps reduce the learning curve for those with Python experience and potentially helps avoid language design roadblocks during development of GDScript itself.

It's extremely common for people to be resistant to using GDScript initially but then be: "oh, actually, this is really good".

And there's now additional bindings for other languages (e.g. C++, C#, Rust, Python to various degrees of completeness) via the "GDNative" interface that essentially provides a C API for communicating with Godot & passing objects around.
I read that Tesla does have ventilated seats. That Tesla isn't a fan of HUDs (I think they are OK but not important at all).

SEEKING WORK | Ukraine, remote only

Looking for a remote work as a junior flutter developer. I've been freelancing for some time in the past as a native Android developer using Java. Now in the process of switching to flutter. Last app that I've published was written in flutter. It is a wallpaper app, built mostly using Dart and Flutter with some bit of Kotlin. For a backend I used Firebase's Database & Storage, which are served by an admin database management utility I've created using JavaScript and Node.js. For scraping images from various sites I've used Python and Selenium.

Matrix LED are available with most large manufacturers in Europe. You can buy a $30k car equipped with those as well. They always cost extra but are not exclusively sold with high end cars.
I tried it on about 20 trees, of all shapes I could find here in Vancouver, BC, coding on my laptop for 8 hours a day. No noticeable damage with a naked eye, using the prototype. The bark doesn't get damaged, because once everything is tightened, there's no movement or wiggling, only a compression. Most bark can handle the compression. So even if you bump into the tree, nothing's going to happen.

The manufactured product will probably have some padding on the lugs, it may not be wood lugs, but maybe rubber lugs. Or metal or wood lugs, with rubber padding glued on.

The way I set in in the prototype, is when the bolt of the lug rotates, the lug also rotates. So I have to set it right, and then just use it at that position. For the manufactured product, I'd like to set it, then tighten the belt a little, then allow to screw the lug bolt so that the mounting bar would become vertical. This means that the lug must have a bearing, that would make the rotating bolt (or shaft) rotate freely, without moving anything on the bark, so that the bark doesn't get damaged.

How is that relevant to the person’s compensation for their work? Yes, negotiation might be a useful skill in other areas of life, but you might as well advocate paying people more for other useful skills that are irrelevant to their effectiveness at work, like changing a tire or home cooking.

No, blaming it on a lack of discipline or willpower is the easy thing to do, and it's what we've BEEN doing, all while enabling companies like Coca-Cola to mass produce addictive, sugary garbage. We're all victims of our own biology. For most of human history we didn't have easy access to cheap sugar, which absolutely lights up pleasure centers of the brain. Companies like Coca-Cola exploit this, and I truly can't believe we still have to argue this. So I'll say it again: food companies exploit the human brain for profit. This will never not be true as long as we keep doing what we're doing.

Is there a place for the occasional Coke in a healthy world? Absolutely. Life's short, enjoy a Coke once in a while. But does Coca-Cola (the company) need to advertise it literally everywhere while getting massive corporate welfare at the expense of the world's health? Probably not.
The thought experiment indeed highlights the same dynamics: it's not about whether there are effective differences in quality in people (and thus different "valuations"), but whether the noise in the system is larger than the signal.

I visited one of these ghost towns at an old zinc mine in Arkansas. The town literally popped up to service the zinc mine workers back in 1900-1920ish. Because it was in the middle of nowhere, the company was the only real provider of goods and services. Some good photos:

Why do people think companies act rationally? Behavioral economics shows time and time again people make irrational decisions all the time. Considering company is just a group of people, these irrational decisions are compounded.

That is correct. The phone waits until it has enough power to ensure it won't die during startup because a lot of modern phones (and ultralight laptops) require tapping into battery reserves because the direct pathway from the wall wart to the device was not designed to provide sufficient power to operate at full speed/capacity for more than a brief turbo boost and startup requires more than that.
