Homebrew and its excellent community was once indispensible on the Mac, but various pain points including this flakiness made me switch to (mini)conda for nearly everything, despite initial apprehension. There are some wrinkles and the resolver is slow, but in my hands conda is just so much more reliable than Homebrew ever was.
Public Alpha for AuroraStore v4
Here is the first public alpha for AuroraStore v4.
A lot has changed from v3.2.9 which was like 7 months ago.

Google keeps changing the API, so instead of patching every changes.
I decided to write a new GPlay API (https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/gplayapi) that is dynamic enough to embrace this regular changes.

Therefore a new client was required to explore this dynamic API.

Here are few things that are new:
1. You can browse streams similar to Play Store, ie For You, Editor's Choice, Early Access. EC & EA is not available on anonymous logins.
2. App Library, so you can track your app install history.
3. App-on-Sale, uses a 3rd party API for index, but app data is fetched from Google's servers
4. A dedicated section for Games
5. A new improved App UI
6. A lot of under the hood improvements.
7. Kotlin

Here are few things that will no longer be available or has changed:
1. Geo-spoof, would provide a companion app to facilitate the same, if required.
2. Favourite app, will add something called similar to WishList, limited to google login only.
3. Anonymous logins now use your device-config to create session, so your device-config is sent to my dispenser server. It may sound scary but it is not, here is a sample (https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/gplayapi/-/blob/master/src/main...) of what I send to my dispenser in order to create a anonymous session.

Whatever else is missing, will be added soon,

Please keep in mind that this is a alpha build and it has many bugs & scope for improvements.
Help us improve & support building a friendly FOSS Community.

Proposal for an App History API
This is only a real problem with external shots. And only some of them. If you were as close to engine exhaust as some of the shots - assuming you were not incinerated - you'd definitely hear something as the exhaust impacted you.

There's also budget constraints, they can't accurately portray things every time. Although we know the producers know about the issues.

Examples: the first belter we see is more accurate to what they should look like than subsequent ones. Taller, and more frail.

Coriolis effects as Mueller was pouring his drink.

More recently, Avasarala pouring liquor while at the Moon. Even though the actors don't look like they are in the Moon (because in real life they are not), the producers will waste some CGI budget from time to time to remind us that – "hey! we know this is supposed to be the Moon. Look!"
The IRS has a lot of leniency because they know paying taxes is hard. Tax Court is one of the few places where you can SOMETIMES claim ignorance of the law as a valid defense to get penalties and such removed.

I’ve never had as peaceful a work life as back when I used yahoo pipes to organize all the RSS feeds from GitHub and Jira and others into a unified view of what’s happening in all my projects.

It broke due to a fluke because a network engineer decided to try to implement a software based firewall that blocked rss files. This was such a weird error but the engineer didn’t know what rss or curl was if that tells you something. I changed jobs before fixing it and by the time I cared about such things again pipes was gone.
The wikipedia page you reference gives all-age mortality of 0.096% for the US 18-19 flu season.

So, with your 0.3%-3% CFR, Covid-19 is three to thirty times as deadly as flu. Call it ten times as deadly; it is also more virulent (R0 of 1.4 vs 3-5 for Covid-19).

That's why it is being treated more seriously than flu.

It can be done by the right people, see Enterprise which had the trekky heart and was good on start (it did have increasing problems in later seasons).

Trek is in wrong hands now. Some commentators say the main showrunners actually hate the previous classic Star Trek, and they are trying hard to revision it.

Since there currently is no such world-wide central party, why would a blockchain based solution be successful if the central party is (apparently) not?

In this specific example: are car dealers not participating because they don't trust the central party (case for blockchain) or because (lazy|not in their interest|inconvenient|...)? If the latter, then blockchain is not solving the actual problem.
Seems nice. How does it compare to hdf5?
MacPorts is installing Python just fine here, fwiw. There's a package for each Python 3.x version so you can have whatever random versions you need installed. They can be used in virtualenvs easily and they don't break when you have to install an update for a 3.x.y release.

> Lights inside helmets to light up a person's face is a pretty dumb thing when you think about it

Only if you are doing EVA astronomy and need pitch black darkness to see stuff outside. Because you can light up someone's face enough and still not interfere with their activities.

Otherwise – it would be important to be able to see the other person's face, both to interact with them, and to gauge their well-being.

Their phones are not exactly transparent, they are "holographic". They can project images larger than their own size. Same as many screens depicted in the show.
I agree, and I’m a bit disappointed by season 4 and 5. While they are enjoyable in their style, they are too much character focused compared to the perspective opened previously. Didn’t read the books, hope the story goes back to discovery and exploration after.
Most countries will agree so not sure what your gripe is about.
I am going to put it in the most blunt, politically incorrect and frankly offensive way: I don't want my communications to touch any Chinese services, hardware, applications or processes. This is what my gut feelings are. I have surveyed over 200 suppliers in China, I've got zero trust in their professional ethics.

EU should develop its own infrastructure for communications. No one would hesitate to use German communication infrastructure because it's reasonable to expect strong ethics and professionalism. It's completely opposite with Chinese companies. Really. This is a broad generalization to help navigate. Of course there are exceptions, many, in fact. I find it totally ironic that the CCP is recently cracking down on low level corruption in mid-sized firms in China (a good thing), while ignoring their own deeds.

My thought is, they were a huge mob goading each other. I do remember noticing some people trying to stop others who were breaking stuff, so surely some of them thought they were going there to just be heard, but others went in seemingly ready to kidnap people. But the mob mentality could've lead to someone getting beaten to death.

Same. My brother has loved the Huston Rockets for 10 years. They have been okay to good a few times since he's been a fan.

I've enjoyed watching OKC, the Lakers, Raptors, and the Bucks during that time. I chock it up to him enjoying the sport a lot more than I do. I don't want to watch a team lose.
As an MLB fan, I felt like it got even worse/less clear because it was about sports. I thought this had something to do with Barry Bonds. Reread that about 5 times.

Hook | Senior / Lead Frontend Engineer | London, UK | Full-time | On-site (Full WFH during covid, Partial WFH after covid) | £60-90k |

At Hook we are redefining how customer success is managed for B2B SaaS companies. We're a very early stage (1 month in) startup with great funding, awesome customers already lined up and an amazing product being built. You can read a bit more about us at https://hook.co

We're looking for a React engineer who can help us build our frontend to world-class standards and build a team around them (towards the end of the year) that can help us achieve our lofty ambitions.

The team so far is super diverse and friendly and we are keen to keep it this way! Please do reach out if interested or apply at https://apply.workable.com/hook-technology/j/A9A8D722FD :)

Yes, they do. I don't think that conflicts with anything they or I said?

Their claim is that most differences are either quality or eq. Imaging and distortion are more or less just subsets of quality. Open vs. closed is one of those differences that largely falls outside those two buckets. Their suggested comparison of H9i vs. AirPods Max is two models of over-the-ear closed-back headphones.

I hate to have to do this, but given this is a rip-off of a WorkOS product I feel I need to step in here. (I'm the founder of WorkOS.)

Sam and Michael were both brief employees at WorkOS in 2020 where they contributed to our product and were privy to our full codebase, strategy, and roadmap. (We are very transparent internally.)

Both of them were let go from the company. Sam then decided to start working on this open source clone of WorkOS. There are striking similarities in the API structure and architecture of Osso, enough to clearly not be coincidence. Our lawyers sent him a cease and desist but he has persisted working on the project.

This is an unfortunate situation and it’s disappointing to see Sam misrepresent the origins of the Osso project. (He even took WorkOS off his LinkedIn.)

Personally I’m a big fan of open source and open source based business models. (I was responsible for open sourcing Nylas Mail and the underlying Nylas Sync Engine while I was CEO there.) But this form of blatantly ripping someone else’s work and passing it off as your own just isn’t right.

We’re prepared to pursue legal action against Osso if needed, but honestly we’ve just been too focused on growing WorkOS. Today WorkOS is already powering enterprise SSO for a bunch of big companies and also many startups/SMBs and growing quickly. We’re also SOC 2 Type 2 certified and super well funded (unannounced rounds) with a fantastic team.

So I’m posting this mostly to call-out bad behavior and to stand up for our team’s hard work. They deserve it.

See through devices don't make much sense. But, the Expanse has omnipresent person tracking through their profile and camera systems. The computers of a ship or station can be queried to find a person. There seems to be a system wide registry of people and ships. Each ship and station has a copy of both. The whole system makes me think of tests of blockchain based vessel registries.

> Why can't that space camera also have a laser microphone and sound synthesizer which makes things make noise to provide audio cues that the audience can latch on to

That's the excuse provided by EVE Online. The lore is that they have extremely cheap "camera" drones. And that the neural interface synthesizes sounds (and other senses) to increase your awareness.

The Expanse does sounds inside ships just fine. You hear your own ship firing, you don't hear others. And whenever actors (as opposed to a disembodied camera) are in space, they don't hear anything.
You'll gain hours, but not necessarily productivity. Which is a common mistake in management thinking. An extra hour of work out of an assembly line can produce an extra hour's worth of product, there's a pretty clear and measurable extra output there. In software, and a lot of other design work, this correspondence is less precise. For Cody the Coding Machine you may get a real extra hour of output from him. From many others, you'll find they extend their breaks from 15 minutes to 20 minutes, lunch goes from 30 to 45 minutes, and the extra time is taken up by meetings or answering emails.

The productivity doesn't come from extra time, it comes from alleviating stress and increasing the ability to focus. If my thoughts at 2pm are, "Wait, is it my day to pick up the kids? I've got a 3pm meeting, I've got to text the wife to let her know I can't get them today." I'm unfocused. Childcare, consequently, can relieve me of those thoughts. Same thing with bringing in food or having medical and fitness options available. They relieve some stress/unproductive time spent thinking and planning, which will hopefully improve productivity overall, but extra hours recovered from this are not necessarily more productive just by being available.
Robert Caro and Kurt Vonnegut interview each other (1999)
You're asking for something extraordinary. The only direct evidence you could possibly have would be video or testimony of Ken Griffin or Janet Yellen admitting that the high fees are related to a quid-pro-quo that goes beyond speaking. But circumstantial evidence is still evidence, and a preponderance of it should play a role in your judgment.

Some people work at Citadel for years after graduating from top colleges without making $700k in total income, yet Citadel shelled out that amount over the course of two years for a bunch of speeches from an altogether boring economist.

Janet Yellen is a laughably bad speaker. See for yourself:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YAEHJvNscs

Now she's the Treasury Secretary and she has power and authority to manage a situation that directly affects Citadel. They make money off Robinhood. They back Melvin. And they benefit from a regulatory environment that is all too forgiving to market-makers.
Fair enough. I stand by our interpretation of the current license though - the usage you describe is fair use, but let us know if your attorney disagrees as we'd definitely want to fix that.
Microsoft is also on top of this with their Magpie project

http://cidrdb.org/cidr2021/papers/cidr2021_paper08.pdf

"A common, efficient serialized and wire format across data engines is a transformational development. Many previous systems and approaches (e.g., [26, 36, 38, 51]) have observed the prohibitive cost of data conversion and transfer, precluding optimizers from exploiting inter-DBMS performance advantages. By contrast, inmemory data transfer cost between a pair of Arrow-supporting systems is effectively zero. Many major, modern DBMSs (e.g., Spark,
Kudu, AWS Data Wrangler, SciDB, TileDB) and data-processing
frameworks (e.g., Pandas, NumPy, Dask) have or are in the process of incorporating support for Arrow and ArrowFlight. Exploiting this is key for Magpie, which is thereby free to combine data from different sources and cache intermediate data and results, without needing to consider data conversion overhead."
But neither am I arguing that it is "unambiguously bad", so perhaps we are misunderstanding each other :)

What I'm saying is that I find it difficult to praise a company for its success when that success is at least in part predicated upon costs that they do not bear. In other words "profits for them, costs for us all". All that could be solved, or at least improved, by adequately pricing in those externalities, or even restricting them all together (e.g. for emissions: carbon tax + hard cap).

And I don't buy the "they're not in control of whether or not externalities are priced in", they have immense lobbying power to de facto subvert democracy and overpower the will of the people. They can kill or stall legislation that harms their bottom line, and of course they will! It makes them more money so why ever wouldn't they?
> the core problem is that you can’t cross to a recursive make invocation via multiple edges.

I’ve never had that issue, and used to heavily use recursive make. I carefully benchmarked those make files, and am sure this wasn’t an issue.

I suggest reading the paper “Recursive Make Considered Harmful” before attempting to use make for a large project. It describes a lot of anti-patterns, and better alternatives.

I’ve found every alternative to make that I’ve used to be inferior, and they almost always advertise a “killer feature” that’s a bad idea, or already handled better by make. It’s surprising how many people reimplemented make because they didn’t want to RTFM.

Anyway, the next build system on my list to check out is bazel. Some people that I’ve seen make good use of make say it’s actually an improvement.

"I curate my own content"

Twitter replaced much of the RSS use in the mainstream back when the upheaval happened and the move from blogs and feeds went on. You pick the sites and content writers you want to follow and visit their posts when they tweet out the updates. It's not too complicated. You choose who to follow, we are all not at the complete mercy of an algorithm on our feeds. It's worked out quite well for like what, 7-8 years now? I even have created specific accounts to read RSS feed content and push it to twitter. And yes that's thanks to the basic data sharing/formatting technology of RSS that makes it powerful - whether there's reader apps out there or not.
>> My understanding is that if a little guy evades taxes, but then cooperates with the IRS when caught, and agrees to pay all taxes and interest and penalties, then they generally don't get thrown in jail

Where in the world did you get this idea? If you don't pay fully or on time, but don't lie, they just make you pay, because that's not "evasion."

Elaborate premeditated lying using fake books or shell corporations to deliberately hide assets is a serious crime, which the rest of us can't get out of with our armies of lawyers and well placed phone calls to politicians.
