There is an interesting field in Game Theory called mechanism design, that exactly studies the things you talk about.

For example, game theorists have tried to find an electoral system that disincentivizes strategic voting. It turns out to be impossible for any system where certain fairness conditions holds. This is called Arrow's theorem.

Email: anna.w.teng@gmail.com

Full stack developer looking for entry level software engineering roles. Though I'm coming from a non-traditional professional background, I've been coding for years and absolutely love it.

B.S. in Applied Math from Columbia University and minor in Computer Science.

Extensive professional experience collaborating in team settings (5+ years of work experience in finance and cooking).
Not being able to discharge a debt in bankruptcy doesn't make the loan zero risk. Even if you can garnish someone's income there's no guarantee that they'll ever make enough money for that to repay the loan.

The risk also isn't the only thing that justifies interest. Why would they let you borrow some of their money if they weren't getting some benefit from doing so?
I don't really understand what you're arguing here. I don't think this is a "sharp edge" as much as people fundamentally misunderstanding JWTs. 'decode' seems like the proper term for taking the base64-encoded string and, surprise, decoding it. I mean, you can decode any JWT, without any verification, at https://jwt.io now. If you're calling decode, which doesn't take any kind of public key, how would you except it to do any verification in any case? What exactly would one expect it to verify?

Verify then seems like the proper term for verifying that the JWT was in fact signed by the corresponding private key to the public key you pass that method.

I'm curious, how else would you define these libraries?

Please tell anyone that is overqualified at their current job to contact me, about everyone in my company in IT is underqualified, many times incompetent because we don't compete on salaries with the FAANG companies paying 3-5x more.
I have never heard this argument ("captains of industry take huge risks and therefore deserve handsome reimbursement"). What I have heard is that these people are paid market rate for their management skills because they could easily get a similar salary in other endeavors.

What? If getting rid of generics made programming so much simpler why can you not wait for its new Generics feature?
Fair enough, pulled those numbers out of my a, and they are indeed too high. ~1,000x seems like a better incredibly rough guess. i.e. if the Songbook project is 1 dev, 1-2 weeks, this would be more like (extremely roughly 2-4 years for a team of 10 devs).

I think only indirectly, but if they control the endpoint they can ping you back, subtract rtt from initial request response time and then the difference from that can tell them whether initial request was cached in dns or not.

Well, they can be 40 GB fp32 models technically, but translating a model trained in fp32 to fp16 is not trivial (trust me, we’re working on this right now for a model). But remember that training the model requires a lot more memory than just the model parameters, because you need to store the gradients as well.

Extra terrestrial expansion will be the magnus opum of a species that has adopted science as a standard. For a few decades, such an inhospitable location will become a mecca for "the best of us" (off world or not).

The conditions necessary for successful mission executions will insulate this unique group of colonists from the existential threats created by citizens naturally responding to their failed government (drug cartel would not exist if humanity could find a place and purpose for everyone).

I'd imagine that this is our own version of the "filter" described in the root comment. The high standards of heavily funded interstellar ventures will bring together strong-willed, healthy, intelligent, empathetic, curious, and ambitious men&women to operate several light-minutes away from Earth. These are the types of people we should want to be breeding with each other for a few generations in order to produce higher quality citizens that will carry on the project (surely there will be medical implications rearing children in 0.5 G, see lifelong asteroid miner portrayal in "the Expanse").

Nvidia Launches GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs: ‘A Giant Step into the Future’
Slightly OT but why should I choose a JWT over creating some opaque token (random bytes) and storing that in a database mapping it to a user's ID?

It seems like people create short lived JWTs and then pass some opaque token to an auth endpoint to get a new JWT signed whenever the old one expires, or they store the JWTs in a database so that they can be revoked, making me question their usefulness.
> This is equivalent to the "we have to convert to electric cars because of climate change!" which will also barely make a dent in carbon emissions

Even if electric cars were carbon-equivalent, moving a million point sources of pollution (internal combustion engines) to a single point source of pollution (a power plant) is way better for us all.
Yeah, me too. I didn’t even look twice. And I’m not sure I agree with the advice to use a tired expression rather than something more original.

Displayport used to be much better but now they both cover virtually everyones needs. Now the main difference is HDMI has a licensing fee. Some major TV companies are in the org so they don't have to pay it which is why TVs always use HDMI and GPUs usually have more displayport because those companies have to pay for hdmi.

> Here we have the IGPN, which is "the Police of Police" so when an officer does something wrong there's an inquiry about it. But more importantly, there are sanctions.

The main role of IGPN is diverting legal action, by burying cases into their administrative enquiries and sanctions proposals. Filing a complaint at IGPN is mostly useless, you'd better file them directly in the regular justice system, otherwise it will almost never end up in the regular justice system because IGPN almost never forwards cases.

Administrative sanctions are laughable. Firstly, as I said, they are not mandatory, they are propositions, it is up to the local superior(s) to decide what they do with it. Secondly, half of them are simple warnings and blames, i.e. completely without effect. Thirdly, most of the sanctions proposals come from internal affairs between constables, the complaints filed by regular citizens are buried.

Also, there is the fundamental problem that IGPN is not an independent entity, but part of the police...

> how infrequent Police murders are

Despite people carrying much much less weapons than in the US, our police are more and more trigger happy, and when they shoot, they shoot to kill (and they get away with it, unless it was first-degree murder). They have no problem emptying a magazine in the back of car drivers, and pretend it was a life-saving reaction to an immediate threat. Take similar situations involving Police and Military: with the former, the assailant will end up with 8 9mm bullets in the body, 3 of them being lethal; with the later the assailant will be controlled (which allows for a trial way better than a Police execution), either with one 5.56mm bullet in the leg or more often without any shooting.

And then there are the "non-lethal" weapons (flashballs and tasers) which were supposed to replace gun use, but that Police now use all the time for nothing, in situations where they would never have used a gun before.

Was it last year that they managed to taze a naked (thus unarmed) man to death in a street?

App Attest: Protecting iOS apps from jailbreak tweaks in iOS 14
I donate to musicians and artists on Patreon and programmers on Github and Ko-fi because I like what they're doing and I want them to keep doing it and getting better. Especially to those just starting in their careers. It's validation that I felt I never had and that I wished for. I hope that I'm paying it forward. It feels more tangible than donating to a giant, faceless charity.

And it feels good. I might be getting music or ML models or whatever out of it, but at the core, it feels like I've made a positive contribution. It's personal, and I can imagine its direct impact in the recipient's life.

In the case of art and music, there's also the touch of living vicariously through other creatives that are building a different skill set than I chose. I picked programming, and though it's too late to go back with all that I've got going on in my life, it's fun to imagine what could have been if I'd practiced sketching every day.

I don't know about Twitch and OnlyFans users, but I can totally imagine donating for motivations other than loneliness. Maybe it's validation. Maybe showing off. Or maybe they're simply saying "I like what you do, please keep it up." And maybe the donors are getting a fun in-game commentary or something else as an added bonus.

Don't decry it. I think these evolutions in patronage are interesting and exciting.
Very true, but to be fair with four engines and a wing you'd need 3 engines to fail out of four to be in a catastrophic situation.
It's too high if the degree doesn't lead to employment or is not useful in employment. Consider the cost over a lifetime: it is much more than 27-37k after it is paid off and there is no way to discharge the debt. It's a risk that is put on students who are 17-18 and the effect is essentially to increase worker desperation of 21-22 year olds - suppressing labor costs to employers while increasing the monthly bills of the employee. Why should students pay for this while living for 4 years in poverty conditions when there is arguably little tangible benefit beyond checking a box required by employers?
Yeah, it's a little hard to find your own review profile (I had to find an item I reviewed that wasn't heavily reviewed, than search the list for myself), but when I found my own review profile, I could see that ReviewMeta decided I was 79% trustworthy. ...I haven't reviewed a lot of things over the years, but it's a long-lived account and I think their judgment is probably pretty fair there?

Walmart's returns section is also (deliberately?) frustrating.
The area where I grew up was a mountain region where wood work was the main occupation of most men; even for men that worked in the forest cutting down trees such health problems were very rare, carpenters working in the shops in the village had no such problems. The guy that did the plumbing in my house when I built it was over 70 years old at that time and he was still working because he wanted to be active, even if he could retire at 60 years old by the local law. I find office workers having more health problems than people with some physical activity, sedentarism is a killer.

Yeah, that's one of the other standard lines being pushed by the press to convince everyone that the US is uniquely failing. It's a very effective talking point. The trouble is, it makes no sense to compare those two numbers because most of the world's population is in places that don't have widespread access to medical care or coronavirus testing, and we know that there have been major outbreaks in pretty much all of those areas. (For instance, antibody testing on a sample of residents suggests about half the population of Mumbai's main slums had caught Covid-19 as of a couple of months or so ago. That's quite a lot of people which really weren't captured by the official case count - and there have also been outbreaks throughout India, including more recently in rural areas, in Africa, South America, Mexico...)

The other problem is that even within Europe, the really major outbreaks happened in countries which also didn't have widespread coronavirus testing at the time. For the most part they were usually only testing people who ended up being hospitalized. So the total death counts are probably reasonably accurate, but case counts are basically meaningless even for those outbreaks. (Which causes some problems when comparing the current, somewhat alarming case counts in many European countries with the initial wave.)
