As someone who self-hosts a bunch of bridges–great work! Really appreciate seeing a simple solution for people who don't know or don't want to self host.

Also, seeing that Tulir is not working entirely pro-bono but that his efforts are backed by a company makes me more hopeful that the bridge development will continue!

It's such a disgusting state of affairs that people have been brainwashed into openly mocking Americans concerned with their freedom. We went from the land of the free, home of the brave, to this. Trump was the last dying breath of anything that America once was, it's all over now. With near complete partisan control over mass media, big tech, and education, it's never coming back after this.

Is a "preview" as stable as the base release?

Are we not reading this correctly? If not, could you get Red Hat's CTO to retract this [mis]information?

'Another official part of it is, as [Chris] Wright [RedHat CTO] said, is that CentOS Stream as a "rolling preview" of what's next in RHEL, both in terms of kernels and features can be used in today's containerized, cloud-native IT world.'

filter bubble has to be the worst word ever invented. What people actually apply this label to today is certainly almost always people exercising freedom of association of people aligning along common interests. Every political organisation, every civic group, every church, every coherent community by definition is a filter bubble, and that's a perfectly fine thing. As Madison put it

"Extend the sphere, and you take in a greater variety of parties and interests; you make it less probable that a majority of the whole will have a common motive to invade the rights of other citizens; or if such a common motive exists, it will be more difficult for all who feel it to discover their own strength, and to act in unison with each other. Besides other impediments, it may be remarked, that where there is a consciousness of unjust or dishonorable purposes, a communication is always checked by distrust, in proportion to the number whose concurrence is necessary."
I'm not super eager at having to watch a few 1-2 hours videos to even understand why I should use Jai.

jblow seems like a really talented developer. I loved Braid and there's clearly some great work being put into Jai. But if (and this is a big if) he wants to make Jai into a language people use, he should seriously consider putting more effort into the documentation and distribution side.
Vitamin C certainly helps with scurvy.

I think the big question is about the effect of vitamin D deficiency on COVID-19.
It has been shown that vitamin D deficiency has a number of detrimental health effects, some of them related to the immune system. It is not that much of a stretch to think that if makes things worse for COVID-19 patients.

As always with vitamins and other micro-nutrients, not being deficient is important, but if you are not deficient, you don't really need more. In the case of vitamin D, with winter and an indoors lifestyle, it is thought that many people are deficient. Being dark skinned and living in higher latitudes certainly doesn't help either.
When was the last time you installed your own drivers on a desktop Linux system, and for what?
You may want fireproof boxes in there or in place of it. Assuming one wants to maintain the data in case of a fire.
I don't know. Implementing a browser in a browser can make XSS potentially bad, and I think it even lead to full on RCE in the earlier days of Brave/Electron. Still happens, I think (though to a lesser extent these days).

There's also the difference in time between committed patch and end user having a new release in the case of a critical vulnerability, for instance.

Using an embedded browser framework introduces many intermediate parties, some (many?) of which might not have being up to date with the upstream as a priority – which leads to a weakened state of security in the "browsers" downstream.

I'm surprised it works like that in Python. C# has similar interpolated strings but there it's legal to embed quotation marks within the curly brackets. Though I guess it's less necessary in Python since you can just use the other type of quote inside.
Here is a more in-depth tutorial.

Mendelian randomization (MR; for the interested layman - the term for instrumental variables techniques when the instrument is genotype) is a well-founded research paradigm with several known potential flaws which I discussed in more depth in reply to another comment below. But, fundamentally I agree with your assessment that the study does not definitively answer the question. More generally, the articles I referenced in the other comment may be of interest to you as well - specifically around the reliability of MR studies in general.

> However, once you start using several parameters and longer strings, your code will quickly become much less easily readable [...] `"Hello, %s %s. You are %s. You are a %s ...`

Minor correction: % formatting allows specifying names for dictionary keys too:

In [1]: "%(a)s and %(b)s" % {"a":"A", "b":"B"}
Out[1]: 'A and B'

In fact I had never switched to using str.format as it just never added enough benefit for me over the old %-based formatting.

But I do like f-strings and am using them quite a bit. Calling functions or methods inside f-strings is something I had no idea was possible. That is pretty neat:

>>> name = "Eric Idle"
>>> f"{to_lowercase(name)} is funny."
'eric idle is funny.'

> Rural areas are incredibly over-represented imo. This should be addressed more than the tiny details that don't really change the outcome.

So the most populous cities should have the unopposed power to decide all of the federal policies that could impact the lives of rural people? This sounds like the recipe for a Hunger Games classist uprising.

This is the same as saying your vote counts less than someone with more friends than you.

Might as well just throw out the whole state sovereignty idea which is an option.

Our whole system was based on individual rights and that philosophy extends to states as equal members of the union.
FedEx owns the box design and dimensions that these glass pieces explicitly imitate. FedEx also significantly contributes to the value of these pieces by applying unique and creative forms of rough handling during shipment.

Does FedEx own this art, and should the credited individual be paying them a share of the money earned from its display?
I think the broader idea of increasing political accountability through data tracking/visualization/notification could be a powerful tool for improving democracy

In the past I've thought about doing something similar at a local level, for county commissioners and the like. Local government - due to most people not paying attention to it - is known for having some of the highest corruption of any level. Imagine shining a light on it with data (maybe partly automated?), identifying conflicts of interest, sources of egregious waste, and elected officials who don't hold up their campaign promises. Most of this data is made public already, it's just on hard-to-find webpages and in hard-to-parse formats (and not aggregated).

One could do the legwork to find it, scrape it, organize it, and then publish both the raw data and various analyses in a digestible format, and that might have a real impact. Imagine signing up to get a push notification whenever your councilman votes on an issue

Very true. I have an aerogarden setup and best way to use it is to swap the plants into real ground and do a fresh clean after they've grown for a few months, otherwise gnats / fungus will take over.

It also seems to require much more water than watering the plants in ground, I assume because they are getting maximum rate from roots and almost infinitely growing them .

jai isn't publicly available yet. (It's currently in a private beta.)
I think it would be great, all the Zoom servers in China might be moved to some place with better standards.
I know that vim is particularly enjoyed. The site looks nice and I wish you the best luck with this.

But for beginners, I now recommend micro as a console text editor (https://github.com/zyedidia/micro). It's a one line install with all the shortcuts and display that have become a standard across editors.
All this crap is why I'm currently considering Linux over macOS (which I'm currently on most of the time). In time, it might be the refuge for people suffering from computers and operating systems that wants to control rather than be controlled.
I agree it's not the most beautiful, but it was the best choice given the requirements. Basically, it had to be explicit, concise, use unused ASCII syntax, and not be too cryptic or incompatible. Other quote types or backticks were not available or an option.

(I spent a lot of time thinking about it, and put the idea forward on python-ideas. Though string interpolation is nothing new of course.)

> My big want is a fluff eliminator API. Like a service where people can define timestamps of where the actual good stuff is on a per-episode basis.

I'm trying to build something similiar[0] to this by indexing (and plotting) the anime score (given by MAL, something like IMDB for anime) on a daily basis. So in theory you could look at the graph and when you see a spike in score/user/favorites the episode may be good, or bad, or anything.

That's the idea. I was busy getting the indexer stable, so it's not really finished and I haven't spent much time on design. E.g. the airing dates aren't plotted yet etc. The current work is at https://anistats.com.

An example for a overhyped show would be https://www.anistats.com/anime/41353/the-god-of-high-school.
And a steady climbing, probably better-than-thought movie would be this: https://www.anistats.com/anime/38088/digimon-adventure-last-...

What is the best Bluehost web hosting company?

> What I don't get is that hosting your own bridges requires the same $10/month subscription. If there was a $2/month fee for "power users" instead, letting you host your own... I would most likely get a subscription for the convenience of using their better integrated software.

Those features may require extra engineering and support effort, not less.

(Even if these changes actually reduced the cost of service delivery, it's usually a small part of the price. In consumer SaaS, you're not paying for the cost of goods sold, you're paying for everything else - particularly software engineering, support, and marketing AKA customer acquisition. A reasonable analogy is a restaurant, where 20-30% of the meal price goes to food costs. In consumer SaaS, the "food cost" is often 10%-20% of the "meal price.")

Have you heard of Mumbai’s dabbawallas? What are your thoughts about that system? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dabbawala

https://phys.org/news/2006-06-bombay-dabbawalas-high-tech.ht...

[..] Indeed the Dabbawala's method of lunch delivery is unique. Their origin dates back to the 1890s, a period when Bombay saw an influx of people from various communities and regions of India migrating to the city to seek livelihood. According to the Association, there were no canteens or fast-food centers then, and those who could not take a packed lunch from home since they had to leave early invariably had to go hungry.

Besides, different communities had different tastes and preferences that could only be satisfied by a home-cooked meal. Recognizing the need, a migrant from the Indian state of Maharashtra called Mahadeo started the lunch delivery service with about 100 men, and the rest is history.

For over 115 years these lunch deliverymen who were subsequently started to be called Dabbawalas have been collecting lunch packed in three or two-tier metal boxes (called dabbas) from subscribers' homes and delivering them to their workplaces.

Today the 5,000 Dabbawalas make about 200,000 lunch deliveries in the city and have become famous for their clockwork precision and efficiency. Reportedly their mistake rate is just 1 in 16 million deliveries, which caused the Forbes Global magazine to award its Six Sigma certification in 2001. According to Forbes the Dabbawalas work with 99.999999 percent accuracy.[..]

I think some (maybe vim experts) jumped a bit too quickly to vimtutor. In some regard, I agree. But I tried the initial exercise on my 8 year old and was impressed, so I purchased to have access to the rest. I'd say I'm a sub-par intermediate vim user - knowing enough to know that I don't know or use the true power of vim day to day, but have memorized a few "tricks" that seem to impress basic vim users. Hoping I can leverage this to break a few bad habits I've gotten into. Nice UI and I think the pricing is fair. Hopefully the content expands, but even if the service isn't around more than a few years I feel like the $15 will have been worth it. Nice work!

Edit: question for Kenneth - do you plan on expanding the content?
I think you are right to prefer JS's backtick notation, but not in your reason.

The main problem with python's f" syntax is that it's just a very complex, non-extensible hack whereas in javascript you can prefix a tag to specify how the interpolation happens.

Instead of this, f-strings have a lot of hardcoded and often broken behavior which can't be fixed let alone customized. For example, you can specify a field width, but it will not even work properly even in a fixed-width context, because of quite common things like emojis or CJK or combining characters don't have their width computed correctly.
What if you only have a static website, HTML files only?
As someone who started testing things with UBI images, I have found them to not be that great in terms of predicting how things behave installed under CentOS or RHEL. There are a lot of seemingly minor packaging differences that cause annoying issues when you go to deploy the same stuff on a real RHEL box.

That's really cool, and a very big deal.

Though boy, the video is really hard to watch. I know that's going to be true of any eye surgery, but let's just say I really hope I don't need this.
I just installed matrix and bridges for telegram, slack and whatsapp using the linked ansible playbook. I used my own domain and a new cheap vps.
this took me about an hour.
I connected Element on my android phone to my new matrix server and now I have all chats in one app and on desktop. That is totally great and worked far better and easier than I imagined. Well done.
It fluctuates depending on how far up its own behind the central bank has its head, but usually isn't too bad - it can stretch out to ~1.5x while the official "market" is in denial, but usually stabilises at about 1.2x to 1.3x depending on currency and source.

I've settled on maintaining a domiciliary bank account (denominated in USD) - SWIFT transfers take a few business days, but that's not a problem for steady income and clients can usually be persuaded to eat or split the fees. Plus it's easier to tell people I prefer to receive and hold USD than to explain the state of the economy. Also WorldRemit recently added same-day direct-to-bank deposits of USD in Nigeria-based USD-denominated accounts; I've only received money that way a couple of times though.
Yes, and my point is that for your point to be relevant, the authors would have to exhibit a negligence that borders on the fantastical.

No one would look at a significant quadratic trend in the data and say, "Nope, not gonna publish that juicy nugget!"
Okay but I can't help but think about the social security in my country which I know runs likely to be more than hundreds of CentOS servers ... It's not like social security is a company making any profits, it's even the opposite, and now they are in such situation.
I wish Matrix delivered what it promised. But it hasn't yet.

Matrix is coherent if you use the reference server and clients. But so is XMPP if you get them from the same source. And the Matrix reference server needs pretty powerful hardware.
I, and everyone else I know, do not install updates to our software in a timely manner unless we actively need a feature.

Users are "I, and everyone else I know".

Generally is "unless we need a feature".

Poor is "do not install updates to our software".

Managing software is "install updates".

Software is any software we use that provides updates, which is all of it.

Managing software is hard because doing it manually would require checking the website of every piece of software you've ever downloaded at regular intervals, where regular could be as frequently as minutes for security-critical tools.

If I ever downgrade my software and lock it to a specific version, I am now managing it manually, and all of the above applies.

I honestly don't think there are unquestioned assumptions here, because the task of keeping security-critical software up to date manually is nearly impossible for any user.
f"{name.lower()} is funny."
Personally, I judge art purely on the final result by principle and refuse to consider the artist itself, his stated intent, or the process by which he made it, as well as the source material whereupon it might be based: — it must stand on it's own merit.

In this particular case I find the cracks to not be terribly unæsthetic but not spectacular either, and consider it largely an inferior form of Wabi-Sabi design.

I do not like how much the art world is about the artist rather than the art itself, and how a story must accommodate it such as the novel production technique of shipping it as such.

It is essentially a world of hero worship where one's name is more important than one's productions.
> It should be noted that the Federalist papers only represent the views of a few of the Federalists (Hamilton, Madison, Jay), i.e. from one of the two major parties. The Democratic-Republicans had a greater distrust of centralized government and were more supportive of democracy and rule by the better of the average Joes (Jefferson’s ‘yeoman farmers’ and all that).

“Represent the view of” is misleading. The Federalist Papers were not an academic exercise of recording opinions for posterity, they were long form campaign ads for a targeted audience to sell the ratification of the constitution.

Also, the Federalist Papers were written before the formation of the parties, and when that formation did occur, Madison was one of the founding leaders, along with Jefferson, of the Democratic-Republican Party, he wasn’t a Federalist.
I know. Anyway the playlist is not about why _you_ should use the language but more about why he started developing it and some of the more important steps along the way (2014 - 2021).

The compiler is not out yet, it's in a closed beta to a small number of developers with plans to release later this year (to the best of my knowledge).
