There's an old similar technic - concatenate JPEG with RAR, JPEG header only describes image part, for archive files they're opened from their correspondent header.
I also have a positive experience with Redshift, and use it on both computers and phones at night. Since I live in the north, I also have good experience with "rubber curtains" that block out all sunlight at night in the summer, and a "wake-up light" that simulates sunrises in the winter.
And since Microsoft still serve updates from the Microsoft Update Catalog over HTTP, let's not mistakenly think that all downloads are protected via TLS, even today.
Weaselly words or otherwise, there is a big power imbalance here. The ACCC can ultimately make Google do what it wants and is backed by a government on this matter. Google has no control over the ACCC.

The ACCC is being irresponsible not dealing with - in precise terms - what Google actually said. Anything less verges on bullying. This isn't a public shouting match between equals.

func-argparse seems much like https://pypi.org/project/argh/ the inspiration for the Nim https://github.com/c-blake/cligen which can source its "pseudo specification" from either a proc signature or a type/object definition.
You're probably at Argenta, Fox Plaza, NEMA or 100 Van Ness. It's a fine place very central to most cool spots. Keep your wits about you and it shouldn't be a problem. I find 4th to 8th St to be the worst of it.
If you like this kind of game, you'll probably like the Hexcells series (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexcells).

Every game is guaranteed to be solvable without guesswork. The deductions can get a lot more complicated than minesweeper. And it has some nice relaxing background music.

I have all 3 games in the series and I beat all of them in campaign mode without cheating (i.e. without watching other people do it on YouTube or Twitch).

The third and last game in the series, "Hexcells Infinite", has an "infinite" mode where it can generate 100,000,000 different starting boards.
Bringing science-based health and technology together
I've been in both kinds of cultures: ones where these kinds of shenanigans were common, and ones where, if HR or IT found out, you'd find your key card deactivated, and a box of your things shipped home.

As ridiculous as it sounds to someone in either camp, both were okay.

The former was an organization where everyone fundamentally trusted each other, and the concept of anyone doing anything really wrong was just foreign. It's so dissimilar to most business in tech today (which are either trillion-dollar megacorps, or places where people jump jobs every 3 years). This was an organization where people stuck around for decades, and everyone really knew each other. Doors weren't locked, and everyone had access to everything. It worked well.

The latter is like most of the tech industry today. My machine is private, and if you've hacked my minesweeper, I'm going to reinstall my OS. I don't know you well enough to know you didn't root my machine or steal my personal files. I'm also talking to HR since you shouldn't work here.

News Corp is and always has been free to not have its content on Google (https://www.robotstxt.org/). But that's not what they want, they want a Money just for appearing in search results. Seems more like a rent seeking for News Corp.

The funny/bizzare bit is we are bending over backwards to accommodate 2 multinational American corporate monopolies that don't even pay tax in this country.

This is not merely "ham-fisted normalisation". In many cases, the student's attainment is being completely ignored!

The tricky thing about this scandal is that it is actually about 8 different catastrophes for students all enmeshed together. This makes it hard to know where to start critisising the government.
The government gets this money back in a) “business lunches”, gifts, etc; b) guaranteed industry “jobs” when their political careers end, which is far in the future due to; c) endless re-elections, as the entire media in this country exists as a Liberal Party PR firm.
Narrandum creator here. Hi everyone!

Here's a one-minute demo video to give you a quick overview of what it's all about:

https://youtu.be/w_QZyDjnpQ4

Or just go ahead and sign up - it's free!

Now for little bit of backstory.

I've been a UX and digital service designer for a long time. In almost every project we'll find ourselves doing design sprints or workshops to map out the customer journey, in order to try and understand people's needs, goals, hopes, concerns, etc.

The workshop itself is often pretty fun, with everyone sharing their perspectives and working together to create a blueprint for whatever we're trying to create. Lots of Post-Its get stuck to walls, and photos of happy collaboration ensue.

Then comes the slog of turning all this output into something useful which will support and guide the rest of the project. That part isn't so fun - and the output is often a pretty but ignored artefact that hangs on the wall, dead and forgotten. And that's why I created Narrandum.

It's a tool anyone can use to create beautiful customer journey maps, super fast. It not only speeds up the process of gathering and presenting knowledge and insights, it also helps everyone to understand them. With Narrandum, service blueprints are dynamic digital documents which can be constantly updated throughout the project.

And although it was designed with on-site workshops in mind, it also works great for remote teams. There's no substitute for being in the same room, but with Narrandum, you can get pretty close.

Happy to answer any questions or listen to feedback.
New Extension for GitHub Analytics
Has anyone tried out this extension yet? It seems like it would be useful.
IMHO WASM is the perfect replacement for native plugin DLLs for DCC tools like Maya or Photoshop (but not a replacement for a scripting interface which such applications usually offer too in addition to DLL plugins).

Instead of having to distribute a multitude of DLLs for each OS/CPU combination, you only distribute a single WASM module, and the WASM runtime that's integrated into the DCC tool takes care of the platform-specific details. And WASM is also easier to sandbox than DLLs, so a crash in the WASM plugin can't take down the entire application.
A brief introduction to observational entropy
>That implies Google will change what Australians see vs other countries. No more. No less.

The letter is a threat, and it makes its threat by implication. The benefit of implying a threat is that it allows you to make any number of veiled threats without committing to any. If they wanted to say no more, no less, they would make a specific threat, but they want people to worry about things, so they make a vague threat.

So any possible threat that a reasonable person might suppose is meant by the letter achieves what Google wants with its letter. Australia has decided to take one of these potential threats and answer it, to make Google look bad, but it might also force Google to say that is not what we mean, the implied threat made more precise looses its power to frighten.

Of course none of this jockeying for position changes the fact that Australia is trying to pass a very bad law.
The issue is we're calling it a 'nap' but it's not, it's basically 'biphasic sleep', before the industrial revolution it used to be the standard.

My 'A-ha' moment with Elixir was exactly your example.

Both me and a friend were building an app that ingests cryptocurrency data and stores it in a database for later analysis. The important part was that we wanted data at regular intervals. I'm not much into all this but this is what was asked of us. He wrote the app in Python; I wrote it in Elixir.

Turns out the API's of the various exchanges are (or were) atrocious. We'd get responses ranging from weird error codes to malformed data to timeouts. API's would randomly change. It was a mess.

My app just chugged along, a process per request per api endpoint. When some of these endpoints 'misbehaved' the others just kept going.

His app kept crashing, restart, and so one misbehaving endpoint would cause trouble for all the other ones. He had to add try...catch statements and fix the problems. I would just look at my logs, update the happy-path code, push it, and recompile() in the REPL.

I also have a bunch of personal projects chugging along on my VPS. They actively handle requests a few times per hour at least, by me, and they're doing fine despite the fact that I was quick about it and only wrote the 'happy path'. There's crashes and errors all over the place, and yet when one part crashes the rest just keeps going. It's been a rare occasion where the entire supervision tree failed and the app gave up.

I love the fake papers. I think it is necessary, like a Snowden move, to expose how bad publications are at weeding out bad data and conclusions. It only serves to make the publishers look bad, not the writers.

This doesn't seem like the kind of vulnerability a security service would really care about. It's just about whether Windows does or doesn't show a nag prompt when trying to run the malicious file.

I doubt there are any real systems where the only thing standing between the system being secure or not is Windows code signing.
> > Google will not be required to share any additional user data with Australian news businesses

You misquoted the legislation. It says that the digital platform must provide to the news organisations:

> a list and explanation of the data that the digital platform service collects (whether or not it shares the data with the registered news business)

A _list and explanation of_ the data. Not the data itself.

> The ACCC here is straight up lying.

No, they really aren't.
This discounts the sense of disenfranchisement that may result, which might be consequential, or that we may end up with inferior doctors.
I'm using a pinephone, and contrary to most people, it's actually my "daily driver".

This was made possible mainly because I have prepared for about a year for GNU/linux phones (thinking of the librem5 at the time) by replacing all my commonly used apps with similar webapps.

All in all, I don't have an advanced usage of my phone, so it may be what makes it possible to use the pinephone. I don't commute (no need for maps, games, durable battery), I don't often take pictures, my only real need for my phone is the hotspot (because it's my only internet connection) and calls/messaging.

The pinephone is extremely cheap hardware and it can be felt. Opening firefox takes a good 10 seconds, and browsing with it is a pain. Gladly, GNU/linux is very good at running on poor hardware. I just replaced the browser with elinks, which I run through tor, just like on my laptop, and it does the job. Lollypop works well to listen to music while I'm out. Calls and text messages are good enough.

The real cool thing, though, is how hackable it is. After a few months with the phone, I've played a lot around the idea : how to make apps that doesn't use much power? Because, the battery is very bad. And a few months after, my answer has been to build C applications that runs as CGI apps with html static interface rendered by nginx (the idea being to only run the program when I need it rather than constantly as a daemon). This is absurd, this is fun, I love it.

So, as far as I'm concerned, GNU/linux phones are validated. Now I'll want something with better hardware, so I'll wait for the librem5 to see if it delivers, then switch to it if it does.

EDIT: oh, I forgot to mention a step, it must not be clear that way : I made webapps on the phone rather than GTK apps, because that way I can use the apps from my laptop, using the IP address of the phone on the local network.

Less dramatically, I'm planning to move to a more rural part of England, where I will be able to rent a 2 bed house with garden for almost half of what I'm paying now for a 1 bed flat.

But I'm fully aware this will be a temporary move, lest I give up most of my career prospects. Job opportunities, networking, contacts... all of them are way lower in the countryside compared to the big city. Also I do believe that remote workers are at a disadvantage in terms of career progression compared with collocated workers.

Unless company cultures change significantly and it is possible to have the same career success fully remote, I won't be moving away for long anytime soon.

"okay, lets do it, refuse all evaluation of our work and just push something through" is not the appropriate response to "this task might be impossible". It being "zero-sum" in some sense is also an extremely low bar we don't generally accept as sufficient.

Depends on actual hardware implementation, but those microphones are REALLY good at picking up audio. I once fiddled with some microphone and wondered why it works so poorly (lots of "digital" noise, faint audio), maybe cable broke or smth. Turned ot, it was "disabled" with hardware switch on cable, yet still picked up enough sound to "somewhat work".
Unfortunately the current government has spent basically its entire time in tenure moving the assessment systems away from continuous/coursework-based testing and towards huge monolithic exams. To adapt to the times would be to backpedal pretty dramatically.
> These things are true at present but are they true in the limit?

In the limit no more BTC can be obtained by mining, so transactions will be more expensive, because the computational cost will have to paid for by the transactor.

And the computation required will be much larger than now, requiring more energy, and, given the end of Moore’s law, will likely be vastly more expensive.

It is doomed to fail.
But to be fair, the authors core point is correct - running Wordpress locally and then deploying to the internet is an absolute tire-fire.

For context my wife uses wordpress to build various sites. I got lumped with the task of moving this online. It was super painful, as WP encodes the URL name (i.e. localhost) flipping everywhere.

I eventually resolved this by editing the tables which stored the URLS (fortunately, as a DS I know SQL) and doing some sed on various files that cached the URL.

I now refuse to do this, and set her up online with a website before she does any work, because moving it is so painful.

I am not sure why you are saying this when every word I cited is literally copied and pasted from the draft legislation?

You have cited section 52M(b) as if that is the only clause in that section, ignoring 52M(a) which I have exactly quoted from. Why are you ignoring that subsection?
Firstly on the point of sharing user data:

My reading of the draft bill matches the ACCC’s statements: it’s not saying the platform has to share any more user data than they already do, just that the platform must provide documentation of what they are collecting, and how the registered news business corporation can access any parts of that that they do make available to them. Not that they must expose more.

In Google’s original open letter, the “Your Search data may be at risk” section matches your interpretation here, and it seems to me to be factually inaccurate; I believe the ACCC’s rebuttal is correct.

That’s the main factual point in Google’s letter and in ACCC’s response.

———

But then to the rest of the letter and response, which are much more about feelings and potential consequences.

The whole purpose of the legislation is to improve alleged bargaining inequality, because the platforms have lots of information they’re not telling the news corporations. It’s not an end in itself, but is the means to further negotiations and potentially legislation.

Other than the aforecited section, Google’s letter is saying “this proposed legislation threatens us”. An uncharitable view of this would be that they depend on their position of power, and if the inequality is balanced then their business model will come under direct attack—not by this legislation, but by what follows after it.

ACCC is saying “you have implied that this proposed legislation will harm you, but it doesn’t directly do so”.

Both sides are speaking very carefully and precisely, Google saying that things are threatened and at risk, and ACCC refuting the things that Google implied (again apart from the one point that Google did actually say which ACCC claims to be factually inaccurate).

———

I believe my judgement and remarks in this comment to be impartial. Moreover I am not rooting for either party over the other.
Cephalopods are amazing animals but I would be careful about anthropomorphizing their behavior. If they are communicating via chromatophores, then this type of animal model will be key to understanding how this kind of signalling works.
