That's just one procedural generation algorithm.

Now suppose I want to take some fruit from the trees. And I want to slice and dice the different fruits. Peeling the skins when appropriate.

Or I want to plant a new tree. Or I want to remove it, with say, a lightsaber.

That's a couple generators more. Now add birds, dogs, insects, moss, moist surfaces, and so on. Hence, my point on needing several generators.
>When you design software focusing only on the business logic and domain the end result will be better than if you have to do it while juggling implementation and performance concerns.

Do you have a foundational proof for this? What are your axioms and theorems? A qualitative description (that you have provided) is open for debate. I can say the opposite and supply you with an endless chain of examples while you come at me with couter-examples and we go nowhere.

>Given the current state of software development, it's not fair to place that burden of proof here when it's not used elsewhere.

The entire mathematical community has this burden placed on them. The entire scientific community has lesser statistical validations placed it. The programming community has endless design pattern debates online as the burden.
I can imagine it might be useful in debugging situations... to see who is sending incorrectly signed tokens. A buggy client? A hacker?

For me the best analogy is carpentry vs. architecture. I’m not saying anything about FP In particular. But there’s a cohort of people that just want to “build stuff” like you said. And then there’s people who want to architect a solution because they feel that what they’re building needs to last, or can’t fail.

I don’t think either mentality is wrong. You wouldn’t hire an architect to build you a closet, and you wouldn’t hire a carpenter to build you an office building. It’s about context.

I think each type of person bothers each other when they try and apply their thinking as dogma to all contexts. I can name a million times where a global variable was fine, or a long function was fine, or some duplication was absolutely fine. I can also name a million more where I really wanted exactly one location for a piece of knowledge, and a million more where I wanted to separate database queries from in-memory logic.

I think the problem is when you use the term “Industry Programmer.” Not all programmers want to work on the same thing. This theoretical “average” person who just wants to “get work done” doesn’t exist in my experience. It’s just one type of programmer who likes one type of context. That’s ok, but no one should hate on people for working on what they’re interested in.

It’s the same thing with math. Many people feel that math is not practical or relevant. Until you want to do something like build a skyscraper, or a house, or design a power grid. Then all of a sudden math isn’t an option. If we only listened to the “average” person, we probably wouldn’t have that many useful things.
Ah, you're right. It was a good sale but not quite that crazy - still under $300 total. Combo deal from Newegg and for some reason they invoiced the two parts separately, so when I searched by "5700" it only found the first one. Went back by order number and found both invoices.

Still, less than $300 for this card has been a great bargain. I've since picked up a 1440p screen and it's happily chugging along. Been most of a year and they're still selling for substantially more than this.
These days, corporations are arguably more powerful than governments. Censorship by big tech should be taken more seriously. It might be easy to cheer it on while it’s mostly right-wing voices being deplatformed, but it may not always be the case that these companies are on your side.
>>>It gets me to wondering: how hard would it be to create computer generated OnlyFans models (actors? performers?) and set up some chat bots to interact with fans?

There are two aspects to this:

1. Is there syntax correctness checking available, so you don't push a config that breaks machines? Yes.

2. Is there a DWIM check available, so you can see the effect of the change before committing? No. That would require a complete model of, at a minimum, your entire network plus all directly connected networks -- that still wouldn't be complete, but it could catch some errors.
I'm comfortable assuming intent when someone discharges a kinetic weapon at a occupied vehicle. If the car was parked and they assumed it was unoccupied you might have a point.

I wouldn't have any trouble believing there were more attempted murders on the part of the anti-union side, or that this example happened differently than described, but what was described was clearly a (successful) attempt to kill someone.

Well, consider search-as-you-type - you're typing, this goes into some kind of a query into a database. How should the whole UI react ? Display entered text, without updating search results ? Reflow it with best match when results arrive ?
Oh right, they just used the API.
Surely a properly designed debounce circuit would add zero latency.

If you only have to worry about false deactivation and there's no line noise, and your keys always stay down long enough to be caught by your scan interval (or they trigger an interrupt), then probably yes. If you have to worry about false activation, then probably no.
Alas, it's real.

Agreed with you that I'd be super impressed if anyone could render at that quality, but I haven't seen it yet.
They hardcode the code that reads a config file and gets the host name of the DB and then connects to the DB. This initializes a singleton object that’s accessed by nearly every file in the rest of the system. They do this for every external source, not just databases. In my experience, this is the most common way Java “developers” design systems, and they usually get angry with me if I try to fix it because their way is “faster”.

I've been using ExternalDisplayBrightness for this:

https://www.nesveda.com/projects/ExternalDisplayBrightness/

With my LG 32UL950-W, I've found that whether it responds depends on the cable choice. I had to give up on Thunderbolt because the monitor itself kept resetting; HDMI delivers a picture but doesn't look as good, and doesn't respond to ExternalDisplayBrightness. I'm now using a 10' USB-C to DisplayPort cable (too long for Thunderbolt) and everything works, including ExternalDisplayBrightness.

I'm curious to see if switching to Lunar would gain me anything.
Because this is all driven by initial post-university employment (and to some extent post-graduate degrees). Employers use university as a screen for jobs, and perceive candidate value based on university prestige. University prestige is based primarily on selectivity.

Accrediting Khan Academy (or Udacity, or whatever) won't change any of this process. Employers don't have an incentive to change their process right now, so in general students would not pick something like an online degree over traditional university.
My view is fairly simple - the median school leaving age has simply moved from 18 to 21.

My father left school at 14, and many of my friends left at 16, and around only 1/4 of us went on to university.

Today 1/2 pupils will attend university - to all intents and purposes their full time education continues from 5-21.
I'm not sure OpenGL will ever be deprecated, but it's always been a pretty awful and very complex api.
The GP was assuming a scaler that already supported a Picture-in-Picture or split-screen feature—as many modern monitors do!

The problem—and it is purely a firmware problem—is that all such monitors make this kind of support "dumb", with hardcoded geometry (i.e. split-screen as exactly halving or quartering the screen; PiP as putting one input in an box that composites over exactly the upper-left quarter of the lower-right quadrant of the screen.)

There's nothing in the scaler ASIC that particularly benefits from these numbers being hardcoded, such that its job would be any more complex if they were controllable via machine-registers POKEable using HDMI-CEC commands.

I have a masters in environmental and resource economics.

My prior work experience has led me to explore a number of industries ranging from Education technology to real estate.

I have always been fascinated with how technology is enabling us to become better story tellers. This got me going.

Over the past year,I self learnt data visualization and analytics primarily focusing on Tableau and have published a huge body of visualizations publicly focusing on telling relevant stories through numbers.

I also regularly
participate in various data driven community challenges using Tableau that focus on giving shape to stories through visuals.
I am a regular contributor on various data focused communities on Slack,Twitter and Facebook.These communities have helped me build on my skills and reach a wider audience.

It has been an exciting journey that I started by taking an online course on Business Analytics offered by Wharton and today coaching others on learning the field better. To further help others like me, I am in the late stages of self publishing a getting started in data visualization book.

I am open to roles that help me expand and grow my knowledge in this field. Would be happy to chat further.

I'm not terribly familiar with the implementation details here.

Are you essentially talking about having different strategies to verify the token? Would it make sense to provide some sort of filter function as a parameter that the library can call to clarify what operations need to be performed?

That would allow you to peek at the records in a context where your role is clear, and where the code flow makes it awkward to take the data and run with it. If the code feels wrong enough, it's hard for the developer to claim ignorance, and if it's clear from the outset that ignorance is not an explanation, that leaves malice and stupidity. Most developers won't admit to either, but if forced they'd rather be seen as malicious than stupid, and malicious gets you a meeting with HR.

And you aren't the only one poking around in such weakly obfuscated data.

Part of the driving force behind the IETF's enthusiasm for end-to-end encryption is not high minded principles of privacy (though there certainly are plenty of people who care, not just from the EFF and ACLU) but engineers frustrated that protocols get ossified by idiots decoding packets and guessing what to allow rather than reading the documentation. If you encrypt everything, these idiots can't tell what is what and so they either block everything (which at least has the benefit of being obvious) or they give up and stop trying to do the impossible. Hooray.

The idiots also write passive aggressive "informational" documents about how the sky is falling because of all this encryption, but you get used to those.
How is dropping a concrete block on someone from 27 feet up not expected to kill them? Miners should have more common sense than that.
> Honestly as the other response says, indeed there is a parallel universe part to it.. For which I didn't really understand it relation to "dust".

The other universes count as part of the "dust".

The characters in the book thought it would be only random 'simulations' that accidentally happen sometime in the universe's infinite future that kept running them -- that is, literal dust.

They were wrong. Simulations in entirely disjoint universes also count, and aren't nearly as predictable.
One of the problems that universities need to contend with is that they’re simultaneously meant to be research institutions and educational institutions. I think universities tend to do better if they focus on research first and let that lead their (comparatively smaller) teaching responsibilities.

Naval vessels also can and occasionally do use left/right when talking about some things (like heading changes) where the direction is expressed relative to the current heading, and would not be ambiguously interpretable. It's not common though.

This is part of the problem.

> It is your opinion that the FTC summary

It is my opinion that you seem to be dismissing well accepted information about the law, that is available on government websites, and that is uncontroversial among the experts.

The information that is well accepted, and available, from the government, is that you do not need to be a literal singular firm, in order to be subject to section 2 of the sherman anti-trust act.

Instead, only having significant market power is enough to be subject to it.

This is an uncontroversial statement.

Please do not rephase my argument to be anything other than what I just said here.

> No, an antitrust case where two players collided isn’t the same thing.

The government link that I posted, is in reference to section 2 of the sherman anti-trust act, which is regarding market power that a company has.

I am not really sure what to tell you, if you are going to deny the well accepted, and completely uncontroversial opinion among experts, and the government, that is that you do not need to be a singular, literal monopoly, in order for section 2 of the sherman anti-trust act to apply.

A pilots job is to "aviate, navigate, and communicate", in that order. It's improper for ATC, especially in an emergency, to be asking them for irrelevant details as it's forcing the pilot to consider the question, which takes mental energy away from aviating and navigating.

Why private corporations?

Why not private citizens collaborating on open projects at scale?

Open source has proven it’s an approachable, valued concept to people of all backgrounds.

And a whole lot of the problems with public education have been made for political reasons, not real logistical reasons.

The financial system is not a free market when possession of its primary value stores is purposefully imbalanced by political forces so nakedly.

Why take “leave it corporate enterprise” further given reality?
Same, can't go into a walmart anymore. They started right before the pandemic with treating everyone like a criminal.

I can't imagine their scan and go working any better.

Now that the reference cards don't have the blower coolers they are a lot more tempting. I'd still wait for reviews to see how loud they are though.

Up to now, OEM/AIC/AIB cards had quieter cooling systems, but they also make you pay for the silly graphics, the RGB, etc. I don't think the overclocking ability is really that much better. A quiet reference design with a non-blower cooler and a good warranty is what I've always wanted.

ES6 has a way to name functions with Symbols, and Symbols with the same name are not equal. It's not used often but I've seen it used to give a secret back entrance to an object. Like a very limited version of friend functions/classes.

If the symbol is not exposed, then you can't get anywhere in the neighborhood of calling it accidentally. I think if you do enough object introspection you can still get the function handle, but you could never mistake the resulting code for being anything other than farm fresh, Grade-A Cheese.

Not quite. It's normal to decide the header to find the right key. Yes, you can also do this as a callback, but callbacks make for confusion code flow. It's fine for jwt.decode to exist and be public - if it only decodes the header and not the body.

Or different tastes.
I've run into this type of thing too, it's soul-sucking because it's so easy to avoid. I wouldn't say I do TDD per se, but I definitely write tests for many things to prove to myself that it's working. Many devs just build + run the code and poke at it, which enables all types of heinous patterns like this (and in my opinion is a super inefficient way to code).

If you have 649,990 cops, and 10 bad cops. And 0 cops arrest the bad cops for their actions. You actually have 650k bad cops.

But even setting aside the issue of bad cops, the way policing is done in racialized neighbourhoods means that even if you had 0 bad cops the system would still oppress these groups through things like stop-and-frisk and various other means of over policing or "broken-windows" policing.
Take out the trash?
Yes, some libraries provide a key callback function where the unauthenticated token is provided for this type of thing, but the result of the function is supposed to be the key used to verify the token and nothing else is supposed to happen as a side effect.
Besides technical reasons, there is a legal angle...
