I made this as a fun weekend project to add summary statistics to my GitHub profile that visually match the style of the rest of the site.

Since the generated images include summary statistics from private repositories as well as public ones, the stats tell a different, more accurate story about my open source contributions than what is publicly viewable.

I intend to continue working on the project by adding other statistics badges and workflows.

On one hand this looks/feels absolutely useful and kind of "must have" feature, yet the boilerplate seems excessive. But at the same time it's absolutely something that should be described somewhere as metadata for a function. It seems to me this should be something that the compiler figures out and mostly elides, like lifetimes. (But this should be present as part of API, should be easily discoverable, should be there at compile time when linking against crates, etc.)
Got it, thanks for taking time to explain.
This a bit silly since there are no in-app purchases to circumvent. It's more of Apple forbidding you to say in app "oh yeah, I'm also selling stuff, not here though". I think such restriction should be illegal clause because of customer or competition laws or sth. They aren't since Apple has them, but should be. Regulators should descend on platform owners and force them to share. Like they are forcing telecoms to sell services in bulk to virtual operators.

Here are the year to date sales for Europe:

The Renault Zoe is the best selling BEV in Europe so far this year by quite some margin. The Zoe has outsold all of Tesla's European models combined.

The article is not bs.
Sodium decomposes the water itself and releases hydrogen which the sodium ignites as it burns in air.

Liquid or pulverized metals are more risky than you think.

Powdered nickel not only is a flammable solid, it spontaneously ignites too.

But sodium is much more reactive, it can be rapdily oxidized by many more surprising things than oxygen or water.

There's always this, kilos of molten sodium can lead to unexpected problems:

This reminds me of the case of Dan DePew, where a police officer got too deep into an investigation to let it go. The NYT cases are less involved, but the ethical issues are almost identical: https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2019/02/05/the-fatal-ensnaring... I find this kind of approach to police work very unsettling.
I don't believe that gold is predominantly used for practical use cases. The majority of people keep it stored somewhere in a vault. And yet it provided a good store of value over thousands of years due to its scarcity. Oil indeed has practical uses and is therefore mostly compared to Ethereum and not BTC

> I think you’ve made a big error in your reading of this story if you got the impression that he regularly hooked up with underage girls.

I said he admitted he already had sex with 5 or 6 girls of unspecified age the same way he was caught trying to have sex with a 13 year old girl. That's what he did, and that was his motivation when he knowingly tried to meet that 13 year old girl.

> A history of having sex with women is not evidence of him being a child predator.

Trying to meet 13 year old girls for sex is the evidence of him being a child predator.

> Neither is going to meet up with someone who looks 24.

The girl repeatedly stated, and made it quite clear, that she was 13 years old. That fact, which was made quite clear to him and he acknowledged and fully understood she was a 13 year old girl. Still, the fact that the girl he tried to meet repeatedly stated quite clearly she was 13 years old was not deemed by the criminal as a good enough reason not o have sex with her.
You are might be right (though we could quibble over diminishing returns on speed over a few Mbps). But you seem to be discussing this as a choice.

One nation launching thousands of satellites because three companies want to make a pile of money and also because that one country can't get it's act together and do something about its own predatory cable companies seems like a weak argument to make from a moral point of view.

But what about third world countries and such? Summary opinion: The people who could afford Starlink already have broadband, and we wouldn't want to subsidize others access, would we? That path leads to socialism and the USPS. Or indeed broadband as a right attached to cable company's license. Impossible! (In that one country.)

Let third world countries sort out their own broadband and make their own money. And let them have their own view of the damn stars.
So then, what is a signal to go short on TSLA? It seems like no matter how irrational TSLA gets, there is always someone like yourself with a cliche defense with the exact same logic, no offense meant to you.

By your logic, does that mean that a company can do anything crazy and insane - and it makes no sense to buy puts against TSLA...ever?
Classic "the walls are for your protection" gaslighting. Requiring a developer to remove a link to their website has nothing whatsoever to do with protecting users; it's a transparent attempt to pull wool over the eyes of users, to keep them in Apple's system so Apple can take a cut. Citing other supposed good acts from Apple doesn't refute this.

Your write up is pretty good

To me the "2 media" It is not strictly 2 media, ie hdd and dvd. Or hdd and tape.

It is primarily to ensure you are on 2 devices/systems/ etc

For individuals the could be their local system and a home nas

On reason this was created is that in enterprise most systems are backed by a SAN. Having your prod data AND backup data on the same physical storage device or cluster would violate the rule. Often times admins miss this because the storage layer is cluster and partitioned in away that could give the appearance of it being separate even if physically it is the same device

Further cloud storage can count has separate media as well

So if you have the prod copy of data + a backup on a local nas + copy on backblaze or another cloud storage provider you have followed the 3-2-1 rule

> No. One officer sent the man pictures of a 24 year old woman and lied to him that she was 13.

No, the officer conducting the sting happened to be 24 years old. Yet, not only was the girl making it quite clear she was indeed 13 years old but also the whole sting operation was conducted based on the depiction of a 13 year old girl.

Even the article, in spite of its spin, makes it quite clear that the 13 year old girl the man tried to meet for sex sounded like an immature teenager.
There's some useful templates in there. From many many years' experience as an architect it lacks a fair bit of context though.

How do you choose which tool or document template to use at a given time? Why in an architecture context do fine-grained things like creating an MVP even feature? Especially under business architecture?

Architecture (business, technology, process or any other typre of architecture) has these basic steps:

- Assess current state

Understand the transformation (one or more processes) the client seeks to address, and find out what the technology landscape looks like. Start identifying stakeholders, and familiarise yourself with the client's worldview, environment, and the power and political landscape.

It helps to spend time understanding a situation before assuming you know how to improve it.

- Set an objective

Identify who the client is, and define the client's objective. It's guided by the previous step.

- Define scope

Bound the solution by outlining it's features and functions, by defining what's out of scope, and by discussing the criteria by which success is measured. The scope delineates what stakeholders expect the project to deliver.

- Design and build

This is what most of us do. The Architecture Playbook seems to focus here most.

That leaves managing risk and stakeholders, and the post-project review.

A better guide might be had from the management consulting world - like Betty Vandenbosch's book Designing Solutions for Your Business Problems. My own architecture cheat sheet is https://www.wittenburg.co.uk/Work/Consulting.aspx

For sure there are some templates in the architecture playbook that I'm going to read through to find gaps in my own knowledge.
Ok, got it. So it’s like purchasing physical items in the amazon app? Which makes sense to me since ads don’t improve the in-app experience for me as a user. They don’t make standard app ==> better app. Ads are “consumed” by many other people, on many devices, aren’t they?
What war could the US start without the usual and immediate involvement of Russia, China or Iran -- I mean, except for a war with its own citizens that is.

The US lost the Afghanistan war, is slowly losing Irak to Iran, lost all face and is getting humiliated in Syria, failed at preventing Russia impose its presidential candidate, is alienating its european allies (see the Iran sanctions debacle), is supporting the savage Saudi Arabia -- who is losing the war in Yemen.

The officer said 13 and sent a picture of someone nearly twice that age. Backing away would be a reasonable response on Hambrick's part. Not sending someone to prison because he ignored an obvious lie would also be a reasonable response on the part of the police.

I just want to say that in the US at least as far as I know every part of shooting someone is a crime. So even if you were stopped at the last second you could still be prosecuted for assault, brandishing, etc.

If you are a freelance article writer or run a website, then plagiarism detection is something you should never neglect. A website is only ranked on top of the SERP if it has original content. Once you list the website on search engine directories, the search engines will detect plagiarism and penalize the site if it has copied content. The penalties depend on the extent of plagiarism. One of the biggest disadvantages of this is that the website will drop in SERP ranking. If a site were on top, it would now be at the bottom due to copied content. It is, therefore, important to detect copied content before you upload it on the website.

So ... nuclear isn't viable, and companies want to privatize profits and socialize losses.

I've been saying on HN for years that the risks and decommissioning costs make nuclear not viable in the US, but the HN nuclear fanbois simply refuse to listen. Nuclear is a debt trip.

One of the items you didn't mention is that to defer decommissioning costs, 20-year operating extensions are granted, very likely corrupting the licensing and safety boards, and increasing risks for residents.

The new coins aren't immediately put onto the market. They just show up as extra coins in wallets. The miners may or may not immediately try to cash out. Probably a fair number of them don't, since why else would they be in this game to begin with if they weren't true believers?

The price of bitcoin that is recorded on all the exchanges is merely the spot price. That spot price may or may not try to factor in such details as the total supply of the coins, but it is also likely that a lot of the buyers aren't factoring that in at all. And it is also likely that there isn't much depth to the spot price at any given time, and the bottom could fall out at any point with no warning, like a game of musical chairs, since there is no intrinsic value there except the speculative value.
It's a community, like HN is, but accessed via ssh instead of http. So it's a community where the active participants necessarily can navigate a shell, irc client, tmux/screen, and maybe even prefer socializing in that environment vs. something like the web or mobile apps. Access is also a privilege which can be taken away. So everyone you interact with there is either new or cooperative and mature enough to not get banned from a shared resource with very few safeguards preventing abuse.

> Odd, the article describe a 24yo girl actively trying to meet a 20yo for sex

The article describes a sting operation led by a 24 year-old police officer that caught a man actively trying to have sex with a girl he was fully aware was 13 year old.

He repeatedly asked her age, she repeatedly made it quite clear she was 13 years old, and he proceeded to try to meet up with the underage girl with for the explicit intent of having sex with her.

Nothing, putting aside that it's too volatile to be a 'good' store of value, the US could wipe out Bitcoin very quickly:

1. Introduce FedCoin - a compatible fork of Bitcoin pegged to the US dollar by the Fed.

2. Ban all US companies and citizens from buying, selling, exchanging, or trading in, alternative cryptocurrencies (such as Bitcoin).

3. Set the initial Fedcoin difficulty lower or comparable to Bitcoin, but peg the initial price higher in USD (the Fed can do this because they can print unlimited dollars).

4. Watch as every Bitcoin mining operation on the planet leaves Bitcoin in droves to mine FedCoin.

5. Watch as all but the diehard US holders of Bitcoin sell, causing the price to crash (further disincentivizing miners)

This isn't entirely dissimilar to how the US destroyed the Gold market to hoover up all the Gold in the early 20th century.

From the article:

>She used slang a 13-year-old probably wouldn’t know, like “FTP” — “[expletive] the police” — that originated in ’80s hip-hop. The vulgarities and snide tone seemed too adult.
