You should be careful asking for this.

Both Protobufs and Cap'n Proto eventually decided that "optional" creates more grief that it saves.

It is also a bit of a religious flamewar.

Caution is advised.
You're right. Sequence is a ledger API. These tools will give you higher abstractions on top of their internal ledgers. I think you are on the right track. If you want something extremely simple maybe the Ledger CLI [0] is worth looking at. Try to leverage these higher level abstractions. You don't need deep accounting understanding to import/tag/script a few transactions.

I hold no position in Nikola. Positives include them working in an area with potential large upsides, specifically trying to develop the use of Hydrogen where it's a good fit today, in long haul trucking. Future great places for it include shipping, sporadic power generation storage (wind and solar), etc. Batteries improve steadily, but so far nothing proven scalable and affordable doesn't involve significant amounts of limited lithium, meaning alternatives to battery systems are worth pursuing.
If you have the tools to produce enriched uranium for space applications, you can also use them to produce weapons, in secret.
Apilayer acquired Caddy only. This is a mistake by Crunchbase.
TikTok appears to let their algorithm do a lot more random walking than other companies. That's in some ways different from power user knobs, but it serves a similar purpose in exploring a broader area instead of assuming they can intuit everything from previously-collected data.

That's an improved default that fits well for their app. But infinite scroll is not the only use case in the world.

This assumption that "what works for [one app] is the path I should follow because that app has been successful" is frustrating and shortsighted.
They do, but the point is that they are usually not as convenient to change as the controls you already have in your hands (mouse + kbd)
I used this to detect the switching frequency in DC-DC converters at my first job after a colleague gave up with trying to use FFT (way too noisy). The signal was barely visible with the oscilloscope I was using, but it worked great and caught many problems! I thought up the solution myself, but didn't realize it was widely used.
NO!

I've played VI 6 after it was free on Epic store.

It is the worst game experience i have ever had!

You can play in full 3D (lame as hell) map, or strategic (2d map). Both of them give you a really bad view of the map, no matter what.

The UI is full of bugs and things you need to click twice, and full of pitfalls (pressed space but an event was just jumping on the screen? too bad now your worker just moved next to that barbarian and will be lost next turn)

The graphics completely destroy your GPU even though it is a freaking Civ game! no matter if you play on 2D view, your GPU will smoke just the same. no idea how they screwed that up.

Then, even without considering graphics performance, my i5 top of the line was taking a whole 30s between unit moves in the later rounds of the game, and a full 3+ minutes for the CPU players turns.

Avoid that game like the plague! unless you have a multi thousand dollars gaming PC. then just play it to laugh at all the times Gandhi will declare war on you on first contact.

Edit: oh and i tried to play on the Surface. Despite being impossible because of performance, the UI is unusable without mouse over, and there's no way to show the mouse overs windows with the touch mode. Complete disaster of a game. I'd be ashamed to have my name on the credits.

edit 2: I actually had lots of fun with https://github.com/yairm210/Unciv on the surface.

and for newcomers to the series, play the original ones or even the Nes one on an emulator.

Not currently, no. It shouldn't be too hard to implement a plugin that does something similar though! If there's an existing pubsub solution in golang, it could be integrated into Caddy.
There's an NYT article from this on the Covid test issues.
The first Microsoft Word was released in 1983. It featured graphics video mode and mouse support in a WYSIWYG interface. It could run in text mode or graphics mode but the visual difference between the two was minor. In graphics mode, the document and interface were rendered in a fixed font size monospace character grid with italic, bold and underline features that was not available in text mode. It had support for style sheets in separate files (.STY).

The first version of Word was a 16 bits PC DOS/MS-DOS application. A Macintosh 68000 version named Word 1.0 was released in 1985 and a Microsoft Windows version was released in 1989. The three products shared the same Microsoft Word name, the same version numbers but were very different products built on different code bases. Three product lines co-existed: Word 1.0 to Word 5.1a[6] for Macintosh, Word 1.0 to Word 2.0 for Windows and Word 1.0 to Word 5.5 for DOS.

The bigger issue here is that this man was able to convince "industry veterans" to give him massive amounts of money. You can see through him in a heart beat because you're technically savvy. Clearly the people running these automakers are not.

You think he's a fraud simply because he bullshitted his way through some computer sales pitch? In a way, I have a ton of respect for people willing to even try this kind of thing in public

If he could talk lucidly about things like HTML I'd think that lent more credence to the possibility he didn't have a clue about hydrogen

edit: for the downvoters, if you haven't seen one of these "bear thesis" articles before, understand you must do at least as much homework as the bear claims to have done before accepting anything you read. Of course Nikola is a dodgy company, but it's also a social phenomenon. That's the value in it for the likes of GM, and also for the average investor -- including the professionals. At one stage YouTube was the largest video piracy company on the planet before a larger company swallowed them up and cut deals to legitimize what they'd done. Meanwhile, everyone knew the brand. You can consider what's happening here to be something roughly comparable
Care to elaborate? What issues are you talking about?
This completely misses the point imo. S-expressions are a simple and fast way to serialise data, which is then deserialised according to some schema. It's not up to s-expressions (or json) to represent the end object being deserialised.
That more generalized version could be that of the Boy Scouts - "Be Prepared".
I have been watching Nikola for years wondering why anyone believes its BS, I didn't realize the deception was this blatant and deep, I guess like many I didn't do real due diligence, but I didn't invest millions in the company either.

Very sad and disheartening to see it continue and get further investment, just make me think that telling the truth does't pay, selling lies does, fake it till you make it taken to the extreme, similar to Tharanos.

The over promise under deliver approach Musk uses annoy's me but there is something real there, real results, Nikloa is literally riding on a play of a name of another company. At least Musk recognizes the issues with Hydrogen and he obviously has a grasp of the technical issues:

Hey, this is not a contest about who had the crappiest life, and if it was, I can assure you that there are things in life that suck more than navigating the world in a wheelchair, and I’m not asking people to stop complaining about that just because they happened to me.

Anyways, replace wheelchair users with pregnant women, or old people. Ramps help them too, and the argument is still valid.
I think you read the $2B upside down. Nikola paid GM $2B worth of stocks (11% of the company) to have GM manufacture its vehicles, not the other way around
it's the cherry on top of everything else he's bullshitted through.

nothing about his background or experience gives any legitimacy to him being in a position of "electric truck CEO and mogul"
I miss the Amazon from yesteryear when Prime was first launched. You could confidently read and trust the reviews, 1-click buy the item when satisfied, and have it show up 1-2 days later. Today that magic is lost; it’s mostly a huge junk store with untrustworthy reviews.

Something I can’t really get my head around is that it seems like such an obvious problem to identify within Amazon’s ranks, and correcting it feels like something within their means, but they just ... don’t.

Are there any e-commerce sites that exist today with the same magic Amazon use to have?
I'm no Musk fanboy and this isn't meant to be a defense of Musk, but in my opinion, Musk exaggerates and over promises. He'll say intentionally vague things and let people fill in the blanks and not correct them when they are wrong. It's all a little slimy and grey, but there's usually at least a modicum of truth to the things he says or he at least believes what he's saying at the time he says it.

From what I've heard recently Nikola just seems like straight up lies and fraud from trying to piggy back on the success of Tesla.

Neither are good, but one is much worse in my opinion.

At least he's talking about the infotainment system, and not an internal system or something where there's no conceivable use for HTML/JS.
I used to love, love, love Civ games. Civ 4 was definitely my favorite as well. However, just as a kid I finally graduated from boardgames like "Risk" to more sophisticated fare (SPI and AH games), with Civ I finally graduated to Paradox series (EUIV, CK3, HOI4), which each have more verisimilitude and thus feel more real and more satisfying.

Oppositely, Civ literally got more cartoony and, in a way, less believable with each new version.

So now I only play Civ when I want a "casual" game. I'm never really interested in playing it to completion. It feels "gamey" and mildly unsatisfying once you've mostly explored the world. I have no interest in playing at "hardest difficulties" that are really nothing more than giving more plusses to the AI and more maluses to you.

I want more depth of play. To feel like Civ used to feel. Exploring a world. Making alliances that make sense.

I believe Paradox has spoiled me utterly in that way.

Honestly it does look like a hill for me, particularly in the shots where the road is angled down and to the left with the truck rolling left (the video starts with such a shot). I know that's partially an optical illusion and doesn't represent the true slope but I do think it looks like a hill.
Godot and Unity have support for specific VR API's.

This headset is designed for SteamVR.

You can build for this headset by targeting SteamVR in Godot and Unity, but you'd have to do a TON of work yourself if you wanted to build your own VR runtime to bypass SteamVR for use on this headset.
You have a ton of respect for people who will lie through their teeth to make a sale?

Why should we not assume his HTML5 knowledge is roughly equivalent to his hydrogen car knowledge?
Yep, (downtown) Portlander here also with similar thoughts.

I was in a bodega last week when a cop came in to respond to a robbery call that was made over 5 hours prior. The cashier was obviously having a bad day, but still absolutely livid at the response time.

We don't have enough cops to go around right now. Technology helps what cops we do have scale the impact each one can have. Ideally, we'd have more cops _and_ more technology that helps them do their job.

This ordinance is outright silly at best, and detrimental/dangerous at worst, IMO.

Would this have any advantage over just using video embeddings (or a sequence of frame embeddings?) which in theory should capture those things in vectorized form.
I'm pretty confident you're in the minority as reading text on that thing will be very straining on your eyes in almost no time. I have a 20/20 vision and sure I could use a 4k on the same size for a few hours but it wouldn't be comfortable.
Fair enough. But what kind of person lies about the existence of solar panels on their roof?

I was wondering, how on earth this company even came to be listed on NASDAQ, since they have no products and no revenue.

So I looked it up and basically it looks like they acquired a company which was ALREADY listed on NASDAQ then renamed it.

> In March 2020, Nikola announced its plans to merge with VectoIQ[10] Acquisition Corporation[11] (ticker VTIQ), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company run by former General Motors Co. executive Steve Girsky. This resulted in the combined company being listed on the NASDAQ exchange with the NKLA ticker symbol.[12] Nikola’s stock began trading on June 4, 2020, a day after the merger was completed

The documentation does provide enough information to roll your own, but it's buried. Notably, the newer "guides" seem to assume everyone is using one of their official libraries.

Here's an example of something you'll need to know for subscriptions or anything else involving webhooks: https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks/signatures#verify-manually

How many clicks is it going to take you from the subscriptions page of the docs to get there? You know it exists, which is already a big leg up, but I suspect it will take a while.

To be clear, my site is integrated with Stripe. A lot of Elixir users in my audience have had a rough go of it, though.

I don't understand why we even have TLDs, and don't just register names at the root level. Sure, it's nice to be able to shard data structures among many providers (.com can be different servers/infrastructure/rules than .net) and might have been a technical necessity "back in the day" (though there weren't many shards, so I doubt it), but now it's actively harmful. You found a company called foobarcorp and register foobarcorp.com... and some jerk registers foobarcorp.net, foobarcorp.info, foobarcorp.sucks, etc. Why even allow this? Let there be one and only one foobarcorp.

Yes, I'm bitter that Google gets google. but I'm stuck with jrock.us. Why does it cost millions of dollars to remove one dot from my domain name? There is no technical reason. Maybe it's time to overthrow the default root servers and start our own Internet.

Also "." should have an A record.

The constraint the author of the Voynich Manuscript would have been working to is that it had to look at least superficially like a natural language. The bare minimum for that is that the choice of current glyphs depends on the previous glyph, and I think that would have been obvious even at the time the Voynich Manuscript was written. I think that's a necessary (but not a sufficient) property of all alphabetic languages, and suspect it's enough to make the distribution Zipfian. It would be nice to have a mathematical proof or an experimental verification that it's always or nearly always Zipfian.

Generating text in that way doesn't require a prior knowledge of Zipf's Law, and I don't think it was unthinkable in the 15th Century.

Yeah, there aren't enough details here to prove the claims. Not to mention, how much power do the "transmitting relays" use.

> Ads do not.

There are plenty of scams and malware being spread through ads. Furthermore ads are a parasite that wastes most people's time for no benefit with no official way for them to opt-out (a lot of services don't allow you to pay money to opt-out); it'a a cancer on society.

> Especially in this case where PII data is not being provided to the advertising company.

You are literally talking about capturing e-mail addresses so you can pass them to an advertising partner to target ads to these users. How is that not PII?
Is reinforcing that behaviour not worrying to you?

Being able to get consistent, instant stimulation from doing effectively nothing seems dangerous to me.

We're training ourselves to not be able to focus on anything.
Dense cities with no sanitation and global travel existed thousands of years ago, epidemics were frequent and easily actually much worse from a spreading potential, i don’t think the fact that a disease took six months to span continents instead of days or weeks really does change much in a significant way.

Evidence of epidemic diseases exist just as long as evidence of human civilization.

People are over rating the current situation compared to historical contexts. It is not that it is not bad, it simply might just be the new normal. Or to put it other way, humans might have experienced a brief holiday in low disease risk which is over.
I would very much like to see less speeding, jaywalking, vandalism, littering, and loitering. Reducing these all seem like they'd have a net positive effect.

Giving police better technology to do their jobs doesn't automatically make them corrupt. Those who are corrupt are going to temporarily have more power, sure, but that's all the more reason to root them out and implement better transparency and balance checks at the same time.
Exactly.

My emacs uptimes (M-x emacs-uptime) are generally the same as my machine's uptime, which is typically months. Emacs is one of the most rock-solid pieces of software I have running.

It's also great for remote. I have emacs daemons running continuously on my remote boxes. To start work on those machines, I log in and start my emacs client. I've never had a need for things like "screen".
I don't have respect for people that bullshit their way through situations that fraudulently entice investors to put their money into a company.
There are many great SteamVR games that support mouse and keyboard or an XBOX controller. Trover Saves the Universe is one of them.

I don't think the lack of controller tracking is a deal-breaker for those who want to get an open source VR experience.
The difference is enforcement. GDPR cannot be enforced worldwide. Even if it "legally" can, which is debatable, practical enforcement is another matter. Even if it could be practically enforced, accidents happen. People make mistakes. Your data could still be shared with a third party due to a bug or just plain incompetence. It's still a good idea to protect yourself.
