> I’m for legalization of marijuana but think that’s a terrible idea. This effectively makes one person the arbiter of law.

No, the Constitutional pardon power (in one direction, for criminal law only) does that already. The question is about how that position of arbiter will be used, not whether the President has it.
How do you deal with the proprietary connectors on the motors? Replace them or only go for motors that come with stub cables? Proper replacement plugs probably cost about as much as a used motor... and most seem to be sold without cables/plugs. (Unfortunately it is hard to search for this stuff, because everything is "polluted" with model making servos)

It took me multiple times searching that page to find the "$10 monthly fee" hidden in the FAQ section. You desperately need an obvious pricing section.

There are both annual and periodic cicadas. I lived through a 17 year bloom (there are also 13 year cicadas in the US), and it’s quite different from the usual numbers.

According to wiki, it seems like the periodic broods are solely within the US/Canada.
The one in recent memory for me is the KeRanger ransomware that was distributed in the official Transmission installer.

https://unit42.paloaltonetworks.com/new-os-x-ransomware-kera...

>Transmission representative John Clay told Reuters via email that the ransomware was added to disk-image of its software after the project's server was compromised in a cyber attack.

>"We're not commenting on the avenue of attack, other than to say that it was our main server that was compromised," he said. "The normal disk image (was) replaced by the compromised one."
Chiming in because the two extant comments are dismissive of Scala.

I use Scala every day, our current application is written 100% in Scala. We write functional code, but we are not religious about "purely functional" code.

My understanding is that, currently, writing Kotlin means you are almost certainly writing Android apps. If a company chose Kotlin over Scala for a backend/distributed application, I would be astonished. Maybe that is my bias, but Scala is proven and continuing to grow in the distributed space (Akka, ZIO, etc).

Regarding scala being "too cryptic". I felt the same way about Django when I first learned it -- now everyone thinks Django is a breeze. I had the luxury of learning Scala on-the-job, and had great mentors who saw the power of the language and helped me realize it too. Scala can be "fancy", but it can also be simple and elegant, if you learn it slowly.

Frankly, I think my biggest issue with Scala is that I live in North America, and the really interesting products built in Scala seem to be made by European teams.
Right but you generally have a complex pipe system even with liquids. Sewers send waste to a particular processing facility.

A node editor makes it somewhat less messy.
It makes even less sense when you consider that all these i3/i5/i7/whatever designations are just marketing ploys that don't actually mean anything.

I have a number of computers with Intel processors of varying generations. I know by heart how many cores and threads each one has. I couldn't care less whether any given one is an i3/i5/i7 -- only people who have little clue about processors care about those brand name designations intended to command a higher price for about the same performance.
Why would I want a unified experience between desktop and mobile, when input methods are completely different? It's kinda like using a bicycle handlebar to steer a car.
How is my comment wrong? I said `if the short version is not enabled by default..` which suggests that I do not think they are but am not 100% sure. Ok, I was wrong and rest of my critic doesn't apply but how is this suddenly translate to `I don't want to live on this plane of existence anymore.`? I was just wrong in assuming that aliases were user defined like on most shells.
Case in point: Notch once said that his price for selling out Minecraft was $2B. When Microsoft eventually said "sounds fair" and gave it to him very few people found it easy to be mad at him.

I think it's just not a pain point for everyone. In a lot of countries, "everyone" uses a single platform and it's not a big deal.

As a US user of 5 apps, some for business, it's just a mess and a constant source of friction.
Actor systems differ in their means of communication. While actor systems use the actors as the main units that you connect, with fire and forget messaging to each actor's inbox, FBP proposes communication between named ports over channels with bounded buffers, very much like the CSP implementation in Go (just that you have long running components as in actor systems -
something that can easily be implemented in Go with structs with go channels in fields for the ports, as shown in the FlowBase library I mentioned in another comment).

The FBP model provides implicit backpressure, because of the bounded buffers on the channels. The actor model on the other hand is more loosely coupled and flexible.

This actually means FBP systems are slightly more optimal for efficient within-one-node, in-memory parallellisation, whereas actor systems shine more for distributed systems.

They shine on different scales, in other words.

> I think telegram is not equal to telex

I tried to point out that; at least here in Poland these services were running independently since one was terminated earlier and other one much later - thus, these of course weren't same but the technology used to deliver messages could be. Polish wikipedia mentions telex for telegrams and later WAN network run by Polish Post; smaller offices in the past would receive messages by phone and then manually fill out form that would be delivered to the recipient.
Dont worry too much about this. FB is an investor in Reliance. Reliance for those who don't know, is the most corrupt corporation in India and they own everything from the politicians to the judges. So this will get overturned very soon.

This is correct. These binaries are downloaded from specific update servers.

EDIT: I stand corrected thanks to a colleague on the media team: the EME CDM update servers are known Google servers.
Yeah that's a good one.

They did, originally. But then we passed the 17th amendment due to rampant bribery on the part of state leaders selling senate seats.
They'll still be popular. The brand is worth a lot to folks.

Not that anybody's asking, but I really think people would be better served with a quality set of wired cans or IEMs (Sennheiser, Audio Technica, Shure, etc) attached to a FIIO BTR3.
I was also a little confused, you'll get an email in a bit explaining that there is a queue for signing up and they'll inform you when you're in and that kinda thing.
Looking down on everything from orbit isn't all that useful for surveillance. You can follow cars, mostly. Systems with large numbers of cameras at ground level are more useful.

Surveillance cameras look about the same to most people. But they have improved from blurry black and white analog recorded on super low speed VHS to 4K and higher full speed, networked together, with face recognition and following. That's far more useful than aerials.

This is an amazingly ridiculous take especially on Sessions and Barr

Sessions did everything he could for Trump just did the right thing once to avoid legal jeopardy for himself by recusing himself. In exchange he got nothing but abuse, I mean Sessions is a nasty little goblin so I don't feel to sorry for him but that's what loyalty to Trump gets you

Barr did cross ethical lines anday have broken laws in making the justice department Trump's personal defense lawyers instead of the semi independent agency it's supposed to be.

https://abovethelaw.com/2020/12/the-temptation-and-corruptio...

Barr was the ultimate lacky Attorney General. But because he declined to support overturning the results of the election illegally, he's not Trump's loyal toady?
If I'm not mistaken, if you're using this with Signal you'd better be running the bridge yourself or your messages are unencrypted on someone else's server.
I am op (asked the question) and even though I don't agree with throwaway, I appreciate him having the time to respond (so I upvoted.earlier to try to offset the downvotes).

Im also downvoted btw, so this goes both ways.
Fair point, as most systems need to refer to users for internal relations, though with a fully outsourced solution you can get by referencing the external user ids.

As you suggest, I should have mentioned the big things to avoid are password hash and salt columns.
Glad to see the colon on the right side of keys!
That's what Giuliani is charging... he probably gets them wholesale at a rate.
I love Paprika, my one complaint about it is that you have to be careful with the ingredients multiplier feature. It only touches the number at the start, so "1 large onion thinly sliced, about 2 cups" turns into "2 large onion thinly sliced, about 2 cups."

If you're not paying attention you can miss that it really needs 4 cups.
You're clearly making a nice chunk of change already if tax-avoidance alone will net you $1mm extra. This plan seems very "Panama Papers"-y and unnecessarily greedy to me.

I can understand if your government is highly corrupt or something, but it seems distasteful to me to take advantage of the strong safety net, schools, etc. that are funded by a high tax rate, then once you've become successful to try and dodge your responsibility to give back to that same society.

Just my 2 cents -- you do you.
Many writers intentionally separate tooling to force workflows, even at the point of great inconvenience if it provides for an environment they feel is more conducive to writing. This is generally far more important than whether or not getting it into a format that editors can work with is extra effort or not.

Hemingway famously favoured pencils for his first draft and switched to typewriter for his second.

Gaiman and Stephen King uses pens for at least their first drafts. Gaiman expressly for the reason that he believes it force him to be more thoughtful and forces him to go back and rewrite the full book word for word rather than going back and forth to edit. King switched to pens after his car accident.

JK Rowling wrote Harry Potter with pen on loose sheaf paper.

Writing novels is intensely personal, to the point where writers will insist on specific brands of pens or specific models of typewriters. E.g. Danielle Steele has used 1946 Olympia's throughout her entire career.
The engineering lab I did my PhD in (the Ocean System's Lab at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh) fit this description.

One example: Myself and two colleagues took two weeks out of our studies to build an autonomous boat after we realised there was enough spare parts lying around the lab to do so. The idea originally came up over beers with the lab supervisor. I think he bet us £10 we couldn't do it in that amount of time.

I'm sure it varies a lot between labs and Universities, but it measures up to my experience.

> My only wish is they would implement a "family" option where I could easily share my library of recipes with my girlfriend without having to share them one at a time.

I normally abhor "social" features being tacked on when they aren't useful but I'd pay for all the apps over again for this feature. Thankfully the API is pretty straightforward. This repo of mine [0] is super dated but it was still working the last time I played with Paprika's API.

I've toyed around with setting up a little web app that my friends can log-in with their paprika creds (I know, I know, but I'd tell them to use a 1-off password for this) so that they can use the web app either push or pull recipes from each other.

Thankfully you can send the full paprikarecipe file via email and import it but it's a little clunky and things like Discord (which my friends use to chat) doesn't like file extensions over 12 characters (IIRC) so it just cuts off the rest of the extension characters leaving you with a file you can't open (without fixing the extension). I have some initial work to setup an AWS SES address that people can send recipes to that will then drop a preview and link to download (not an attachment, it would be hosted on S3) the recipe into a "recipes" Discord channel we use but it's still a WIP.

It says you can run a Mac app but presumably this is to bridge in users outside the Apple ecosystem.

So probably it is the cheapest iPhone that has a year or two worth of iOS support left and just sits plugged in.

While a novel hack, I would never want my iMessage conversations being bridged to a service outside the Apple ecosystem.

While I have no doubt this service will do their best with security, it relies on leaking data from Apple.

Imagine if someone built an insecure bridge for FaceTime Audio, and the caller did not know the recipient was using a bridge service.

Any reliance on Apple’s massive investment in the privacy and security of a FaceTime transmission goes out the window and into the hands of an unknown 3rd party.

It also tricks the sender into thinking that their secure iMessage conversations are what they look like.

I know when i see a green chat bubble, that low level people at Verizon can access the content of the messages.

I see this as a big problem, where the goal of letting more people in for UX reasons undermines expectations of privacy from those uninvolved in the use of the product.

People are mention Discord being unhappy with this, but I imagine Apple would see this as an abomination.
I'd also argue that counting down is more common than having a list with UINT_MAX elements.
We've taken a slightly different approach to this at WorkOS. (I'm the founder.)

We decided to handle authentication but explicitly _not_ user management or authorization.

This means our API is essentially just an OAuth2 wrapper around enterprise identity systems like Okta, Microsoft ADFS, generic SAML, OpenID Connect, etc. We don't require developers to migrate users into WorkOS, handle access policy, or "own" the user object. The primary user database always stays in the developer's app and WorkOS just serves as an authentication gateway. This turns out to be much more flexible, faster to integrate, and ultimately what developers actually want when adding advanced authentication strategies to their app (like enterprise SSO).

So I guess what I'm saying is this article title is a bit of a misnomer. It's actually about outsourcing your user management and identity infrastructure to FusionAuth, which is a much larger decision with architectural effects. And unfortunately that results in strong vendor lock-in to a platform like FusionAuth (or Auth0).

(For anyone curious, you can see more about the WorkOS approach here: https://workos.com/docs)
Amazing project and thank you so much for the detailed answer. In case you read it and I know it's too much to ask of you, but you seem to be an expert at ML, so what resources would you recommend me to read up on for a hobbyist who wants to create a project like this (I mean this x does not exist type or similar).

Somebody recommend Andrew NG courses but I wasn't able to complete it and got bored. Then I tried watching sentdex and it was amazing and I'm able to fully comprehend what he does since he teaches more practical aspects like running gta v on autopilot etc.

So just wondering what I could learn next.
I did not get redirected--would that be because I'm using Brave? Or because I'm on mobile?
I would simply push unhappy and set it aside. If HR made a stink about it, I would contact a lawyer. If it turned out that they had the right to make me wear it, I would quit.
That seems silly though. It is for this very reason you "dont roll your own crypto". _Because_ its critical, and _because_ others can handle it better when thats what they are focused on.
Price is subjective. The only thing in that article that got my interest was the weight.
What would motivate a civilization to undertake such an experiment? A probe a 50,000 light years away would take 50,000 years to send back any meaningful information. Unless alien life-spans are significantly longer than humans, I would think this would probably not be funded by their science department.
The Mac line hasn't fully switched over to Apple Silicon yet. Notably, the iMac, iMac Pro, Mac Pro, and some Macbook Pro models are still Intel.

> Separate modes for command & insert just feels inherently clumsy and slow to me.

Interesting, I have the opposite experience. In normal mode, I can do a lot using very few keystrokes. In editors without modes, there's always a lot of keyboard shortcuts which are difficult to remember and hard to execute.
> We are as entitled to it as we are to the Linux kernel on which it's based.

Are you claiming they are in violation of the GPL license? I believe they still are 100% in compliance.

> The CentOS project itself wasn't started by Red Hat. It was given to them with the expectation that they would be good stewards of it. They haven't.

They stepped in to stewardship of the product quite naturally, with the full backing of the previous stewards. Nobody was forced into that agreement. It wasn't given to them as a gift, Red Hat has sponsored the project for the last 6+ years. The fact that you disagree with the direction it has since gone, does not mean it's wrong. It may be the difference between having something more modest, and having nothing at all.

They give the real reason: because if your auth provider is breached other clients will be as well and that diffuses the blame. (non)-security by herd instinct.

I particularly like this one FTA: "When your competitors’ authorization systems are down at the same time yours are, nobody blames you for it, but when you’re the only company having issues, you suffer reputationally. No matter what your outsourced auth system is (FusionAuth, Cognito, AAD, etc), you can be almost certain that you won’t be alone in the event of an outage."

Thanks for this I always used nano or pico because it was easy and always wanted to use vi but found it really strange like to exit & save you have to do :w! or something like that.
Awesome, thanks for the on the ground feedback.
What branch did you serve in? You seem really offended at the notion that some Americans are willing to take freedom and privacy over complete security. It’s hard for you to believe but know that many, many people are willing to make that trade off. People have even died for it.
I got them, they’re nice - I like them.

Just try them yourself and see if they’re worth the price to you.

Similarly the Apple duo charger all the reviewers write about being overpriced and not worth it is actually great. It photographs poorly, but in person it’s a huge upgrade over the nomad phone/watch charger I had been using.
100% agree. At 42 I’ve come to realise it’s about quality and not quantity of friends. Also, maybe making friends gradually via a common interest is better than trying to force it.
That is a point of course. I'm thankful for the education I got here. No question.

On the other hand I already payed a lot of taxes. And my father retired few years ago and is treated really bad after he worked more then 20 years. Actually he is treated like he never worked at all. So that is what I mean regarding tax policy.

In my opinion you can't say someone isn't paying his fair share if he pay lets say 400k on a 10% rate. He is still contributing much more then the average and I think he should not be treated like a "criminal".
I was in DC in 2004 when they came out last time. I don’t recall any concerns about agriculture and nothing in our yard got damaged. You just had to clean up a lot of dead cicadas. I think most of their feeding is done underground and they come out to mate and then die. It’s not like locusts that eat everything in their way. Birds were super happy though.

It stlll impresses me that they are better at keeping track of years than I am.
