> I think the bigger problems is most programs are bad and alienated. Programming with everything nicely packaged and ready to be modified is like working with a clean workbench / shop. If you've never been in a clean one, cleaning seems like a chore, but if you have, working in a dirty one seems not only inefficient, but gross and undignified.

You hit the nail on the head here.

I've worked a bunch of different jobs since college.

I have worked in exactly one clean, mature codebase.

The difference to all the others I've been in was like night and day.

I think seeing even "acceptably decent" code is incredibly rare in our industry.

To be fair, that's probably in large part because producing acceptably decent code is prohibitively expensive for any new product, and once you've gotten a new product off the ground and producing value, you've set the cultural norm that crappy code is what we make here.
> How is this is an issue? It doesn't require any login and this is exactly what happens with every APT mirror.

Yes, but it's you who usually manage those mirrors, not some guy deciding which mirrors your apt must query now and pushing it in a regular update without notice.

I don't care if it's Microsoft or some obscure Chinese repo, but I think nobody should mess with your mirrors list or trust their keys in this way.

I agree Python has some frustrating imperfections, but it has a pretty great ecosystem, and a new language would presumably have to start over.

I wish Python went with static typing from the offset, and I wish it had better parallelism, but with Python you can get a library for just about anything with a simple pip install, and that's worth a great deal.

Need a WebSocket library? No problem. Need a cross-platform TUI library? No problem. Python's maturity means you can do a lot of things with little hassle. Some of the less mainstream programming languages are nowhere close to Python in this regard, even after many years.

Pretty standard low-tech-accuracy clickbaity article. I didn't realize Reuters did those, but I haven't paid attention in a while.

So what exactly did they seize? If it wasn't a brainwallet, or was a physical device that they believe had no backups, the story would make more sense. Would have been pretty easy to include that info.

Also, if they have ensured the guy can't access it, like the article says, then this goes beyond seizure. They just want the money for themselves.
I think that's literally what they intend to do with an expansion pack, after all.
Ah yes, I didn't mean to imply that the event was for industry -- I meant that it was at the cutting edge (which is normally the leading edge of industry) since it's full of hackers and builders.

I also do not want it to become an "industry event" in that sense, I enjoy it 10x more than I do the bajillion Kubecons. I was also referring to not just FOSDEM, but there's PostgresConf/Open, USENIX, OpenZFS, InfoQ, JSConf, Strange Loop -- there is so much information out there that it's exhausting but absolutely to our benefit.

As companies go through their possibly short-lived tryst with true open source (before everyone starts reverting to shareware), they are sharing big ambitious projects that they're working on, and giving interesting talks on the architecture, motivations, etc.
AIUI per-satellite bandwidth is power constrained.

The beauty of a five-year lifespan for the satellites is that when, for example, multilayer PV panels (i.e., more efficient/higher output) get cheap enough, it'll be simple to roll them out.

Likewise with more power-efficent routing chips, and everything else.

It's not 10,000 satellites. Starlink has FCC support (with the ITU) for over 40,000 satellites.[1]

With a steady-state demand of about 10k/year, Starlink will be able to get fairly good prices from semiconductor fabs for ASICs. Is the market for Juniper MX2020s the same size? (I honestly have no idea.)

No doubt Starlink will be researching furiously to optimise transmit power, modulation schemes, antenna design, et cetera as well.

A final point is that Starlink's markets are additive, not mutually exclusive.

They can do low-latency links over the North Atlantic and North Pacific for HF traders/arbitrageurs, and when the satellites are over other parts of the globe, they can serve village WISPs, or individual consumers (and the US military if you insist). The one market Starlink can't serve well is exactly that which is best served by fibre: urban areas in the developed world.

Looking at the business case, the risk is all upside for Starlink.

1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink

On 15 October 2019, the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) submitted filings to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) on SpaceX's behalf to arrange spectrum for 30,000 additional Starlink satellites to supplement the 12,000 Starlink satellites already approved by the FCC.

It looks like the prosecutor may have screwed up in this case:

“We asked him but he didn’t say,” prosecutor Sebastian Murer told Reuters on Friday. “Perhaps he doesn’t know.”

That seems like something the defense could use...the prosecutor is openly admitting the defendant may not know the password.

Edit: Ah, never mind. Seems he already served his sentence.

The password encrypts the wallet file which contains the private key which is required to transact on the coins. If the fraudster can not access the wallet file, it doesn't matter if he actually knows the password or not - the coins are essentially stuck in an eternal limbo.

Some shelters are pretty horrible. Sometimes, folks just don't want the shelter's help.

Horrible, as in: you can't stay here if you are a male with children. A female with children will have a curfew and need special permission if they happen to have part-time work that keeps them out after curfew. The children's father can't visit because it is technically for abused women. You can't make sure your medications are safe and you might not keep your belongings. You might be forced to go to AA meetings, church services, or to work in the thrift store. You might be turned away if you are trans or gay - I'm not sure that is supposed to happen legally, but it does nonetheless.

We should house folks, period. In actual housing. Shelters should always be a very, very temporary solution.

If you still get folks that insist on living on the street even though they have basically free housing, then surely, we can do better and create spaces for folks to live. You know, with showers and toilets available for use.

This is what I disliked about using password managers with autogenerated complex passwords. It feel like too much lock in. I'm glad I switched to Firefox Lockwise before getting too locked in with Google's password management
JavaScript and it’s variants are 1st place for the browser (shoe in on a technicality) ... but like 213th for everything else.
I had this idea for a browser space exploration MMO where the universe would be large, in the sense that there's a billion stars on the map, and players get spawned in relatively small area of it (which expands as more players join). Entire such galaxy would be traversible (albeit slowly), there would always be somewhere further out to go, and at the same time, everything players do is permanent. When a player decides to abandon the game, their constructs become ruins and derelicts for others to find. The admins would be in-universe Q-like[0] deities, and all admin actions would be in-game (e.g. banning someone would involve throwing a rock at their homeworld, or detonating their home star).

Scale-wise, I'd like to make such game reward studying and building up your home solar system, vs. expanding everywhere.

On my list of ideas for such a game was also another thing I miss from most games: diverse and possibly unbalanced tech trees. No "rock paper scissors", no Pythonesque "there's one way to do it". For instance, there are at least three main types of FTL travel in science fiction: linear warp drives (ships can exit or change course at any point along the way, and can be intercepted and attacked during FTL - as in Star Trek), wormholes/starlanes (travel takes time, but you can't arbitrarily change course, or often even pick your destination), and jump drives (it takes time to spool up the drive, but the jump itself is instantaneous; see BSG). I'd like all three to coexist within a single universe, on equal footing, but with different mechanics and tactical implications.

Writing this makes me feel young again :). As a kid, I think I had a list of such ideas written down somewhere.

Its the equivalent of "open a pull request" when you dont care, and know the other person doesnt care enough to do anything about it.
First, since you mentioned "Americans and the rest of the
world", does the same trend hold for the people on the other
side of these conflicts?

Yeah and no. It's so hard to measure the human cost of war because so many of the deaths are indirect.

Operation Rolling Thunder (50 years ago) was probably the last time the US took mass numbers of lives directly, with the high end of estimates approaching something like an average of 5,000/month.

Estimates of deaths from the Iraq War range from 150K "violent deaths" to 1mil "excess deaths" which would include all sorts of indirect causes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War

Those are horrific levels of loss but nowhere near the toll of WWII.

Second, the number of people who fought in each of these
wars is also pretty different. Isn't a more direct
comparison something more like "deaths per combatant per
month" rather than "deaths per month"?

It depends. Do we want to measure how risky it is to be a combatant, or how risky it is to be a human being on Earth?

If it's the former, then "deaths per combatant per month" is what we want. That would be interesting, though I question how broadly useful it would be. It would obviously be directly useful for combatants (or those considering becoming combatants) but is probably not useful as an overall indicator of "hey, how's the human race doing in general?"

If it's the latter, the stat we probably want is "war-related deaths per human being per month" or something like that. That would be a good indicator of overall levels of war and strife. It would take into account the increased population of the world as well.

Even if (heaven forbid) we had a conflict that results in WWII-like absolute levels of deaths today, that would represent a far lower number of deaths as a percentage of the human population lost.
Because it's not about the operating system, but all the related services that are embedded in the browser.

I use chrome because it ties with my google account which ties in with... pretty much everything. It stores a lot of my passwords, it ties in with my gmail, my google workspace, my shared extensions that gets installed with any other chrome browsers through this google account, other google apps like google docs/calendar, and other google services like their speech-to-text, and it also ties in with my android phone that is linked to my google account.
Right but did Lawrence connect with the Bedouin because of innate warriors kinship or something else? We can't just assume the former.

> Herd immunity policies were NOT that.

As has already been pointed out to you, there was no herd immunity policy.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54252272

You need to be able to tell the difference between someone using the words 'herd immunity' in a sentence, and it being official policy.

Your response to this is just 'nah... I'll ignore that and just assume they're lying'. That's where your prejudice is coming into it.

> I've been waiting for a WebspeechAPI implementation in Firefox for many years now but the only reason why I don't think it's happening is because maybe Mozilla lacks the funds to train the models for speech-to-text/text-to-speech, etc.

The Web Speech API is still in "Draft" spec, but Mozilla have been working steadily on it and finished the work for SGML parsing back in January. There are actually flags you can change to enable it on most platforms, its just they aren't considered "stable" yet.

Mozilla's DeepSpeech engine is also not that far off from reaching a level of stability. You can help them with it here [0] if you're interested.

Reddit should definetly be investigated in that bump and dump scheme. They turned a blind eye to this whole saga and should be more transparent. Everything critical about the hysteric theories were either hidden or downvoted so no one can see the reality, they have to a responsibility to this situation.

Presumably, this isolation would be less of a concern with mixed reality. Just place “the game” in a shared middle of the room and blend your friends into the stands.
I miss the golden age of blogs, bulletin boards, and of mailing lists, frankly. They are still out there, of course, but focus seems to have shifted. Twitter is so much more immediate, and I think it has displaced blog post consumption. To our detriment in many ways.
The vast majority have overweight issues with their waistlines proceeding to grow and tragically, their pets likewise experience a same issues.
As per a current report, about 55% of pet felines these days are overweight.
This is brought about by 3 principle issues like having an inactive way of life, unhealthy eating routine and such a large number of treats.
Both examples look unreadable to me. Just because you can do a lot on a single line doesn't mean you should.

What China isn’t doing is importing labor. When it does it makes sure to get the good end of the deal: a foreign concern wants the Chinese market? Ok, invest, give us access to IP, show our people how to make the enterprise work. Then they copy once they have leaned.

Not many expats get to become citizens of China despite the wealth and power they have contributed to China. Chine see it as them doing _you_ a favor, not the other way round.

If China were like the US you’d have people from all over Asia streaming in to cash in on a growing economy, instead they make sure this wealth is spread amongst themselves rather than putting the poor against others willing to work under poorer conditions.
One of my favorite books of all time. I saw Wulf speak at Vanderbilt last year and the stories she shares about Humboldt are really remarkable ... One of the world's greatest scientists, adventurers and thinkers. Now his name is hardly known, overtaken by his disciple, Charles Darwin.

There was plenty of pollution in the middle ages. People were burning wood to heat up their non-isolated homes. Not to mention that, at least in Europe, 1000 years ago homes were heated up in central open fire (chimneys were not invented yet) and so basically the whole house was a chimney. People sometimes literally couldn't see the other end of the room they were in, due to smoke. Welcome to primitive technologies...
The problem with this is that it’s not VR though. It’s 3D from a fixed point.

Slightly off topic, but as you mentioned async: why is Python bothering with async given its use of green threads? Can't the virtues of async be achieved with fibers? Wouldn't that be a better fit for Python's model?
I was quite happy to see one of my projects mentioned on Wikipedia for the first time, in the reCAPTCHA article. I've discovered it from the list of referring sites shown by GitHub Insights, and then the mention disappeared.

Looking at the edit history of the article, someone added it a year ago, and then 204.132.216.84 has decided recently that a genuinely informative section must be removed from the article, because they thought it's "self-promotion for browser extension".

Hi,

In this case, we use this procedure from the frontend app. When a user registers on Keycloak, this user is only stored on Keycloak.

Keycloak is used as an authentication provider, a "login with". The user is registered in the app on first use, even if the account already exists in Keycloak.

so, calling "api.add_user_if_not_exists" can be used on every request, only the first has an effect.

The field request.jwt.claim.sub is called "subject", this is a unique identifier for the user (a GUID with Keycloak). This field is provisionned by Keycloak, the JWT token has been verified by Postgrest with all informations (Keys).

That might be true for most/all technical blogs, it's not true for other kinds of blogs.

Wow, I can't imagine a disaster happening in the United States where we barely even knew the order of magnitude of fatalities.
This is so amusing to me — I remember when Disqus was being built and beginning to gain traction, lofty ideas of "comments and discussions done right" were being thrown around.

I never bought in to the hype, and considered carefully whether I want to "outsource" and give away comments and discussions to a third party, becoming tied to them and all the data tracking/gathering that they might choose to do in the future.

Fast forward 10 years or so, and here we are :-)

Own your data, people. Don't give it away just because something is nice and shiny today. Don't outsource data. And don't write articles only to post them on Facebook, LinkedIn or Medium (or Google+, remember that?).
