When a grocery store cashier asks that question, yes it is very fluffy and no information is expected in response.

For contrast, in Northern Europe a cashier would greet you with the local version of "Hi", "Hello" or "Good morning". And them not verbally greeting you would be socially acceptable too!

To add to your comment,

The executive is staffed by members of the lower house.

Until recently the head of the courts were from the upper house. So the lower house provided the executive, and the upper provided the courts.

Compared to constitutional systems like the US, the UK is basically still in the same position.

There is no "constitution" that the legal system forces parliament to adhere to. Our courts simply enforce acts and "send them back" to parliament only when there are inconsistencies.

I actually regard the creation of the supreme court here in the UK a pretty silly thing, it should've reminded with the upper house.

Either way, it isnt independent in the US sense.
My understanding is the use of JWTs for session management is 99% of the time bad (tldr: you think you get "stateless" sessions but in reality you still need server side state for useful features like logging out); but its use for auth (i.e. via OIDC) is a normal and good use case.

Yes, this is the path for many small players. We had a craft beer revolution, and there is a 'craft beef' revolution slowly happening.

It sounds like the people who issue licenses need a professional license!

More seriously though: Rossmann's troubles are in the domain of business licenses, a licensing system that sounds too complex, staff that are not properly trained in the services they provide (or are incompetent for other reasons), and likely under-staffing in the departments he interacts with. My interpretation is this is more damning of the city itself than the principle of licensing.

My biggest thing with Copilot is that it was trained on all public code on Github, which includes a lot of bad code that people just put up there (like my own code that I wrote a decade ago).

As long as it is keeping track of when people do or do not accept their suggestions, it should get better over time. But in the meantime the best bet it is to treat it like a smart autocomplete, where you still have to at least check that it got it right.

In the future maybe it will be smart enough to be treated like an intern -- trust that the code is right but still verify it yourself if the code is of any importance.

That's obnoxiously self-centered to say that if the city government doesn't fix your personal issues with it, one of the five biggest metro area in the world will become empty in decades. Sure, New York could lose the ability to maintain a vital and legal small business sector, but the city is not going anywhere. The worst that could happen is a period similar to the horrible 70s, with difficult finances and poor opportunities for people, until the city gets its head out of the sand.
Solar combined with “4 hours of battery backup” is 16+h of output.

Suppose you want 1GW of solar 24/7. Well 4h is roughly 1/2 the output of an array over a day. So to get 1GW during the day you need a 2GW solar array. Now your 4h batter is 4h x 2GW = 8GWh. Which means your 4h battery can provide 1GW for 8 hours a day combined with your 2GW array providing 1GW for another 8 hours, and less than 1GW for even longer.

Of course the grid doesn’t actually want X GW 24/7, demand is higher in the day and lower at night. On top of this 4h is sized based on maximum output, you need extra solar to cover cloudy days, but extra arrays also come with more grid storage. Thus at scale 4h battery backed solar arrays can roughly meet all of the grids energy needs.

Another factor is panels can be pointed slightly east or west if you want power earlier or later in the day. The tradeoff is less total output over the day, but with expensive storage and cheap PV it can be more profitable that way.

Likely never, at least in this manner. NYC has the right to regulate business as they see fit. I'm not aware of any laws that would require the city to issue the license or even to respond, unless they're discriminating against him in some way. I don't get the impression that's the case here.

A statement from the ACLU condemning NYs lack of action might get him the publicity to kick the city into action, though.
Only one of the newer ESP32 variants has USB HID support, so none of them are compatible (except for Bluetooth, but battery life there won't be good). There was someone who was porting QMK (or maybe ZMK) to ESP32, so hopefully that'll happen.
I've worked on projects that used JWT to maintain session data and it's definitely a horrible idea. Halfway through the project it became very apparent that we were reinventing the wheel - having to solve problems that were never an issue with maintaining session data server side.

However, I currently use JWT for short term authorization tokens (5 minute expiration) between a web api and a websocket service. The service needs to be lightweight and not rely on database hits to confirm authorization.

But yeah, JWT gets misused VERY often.

I often try to use a feature and it doesn't work properly on one browser. It's nearly always mobile safari. This week, I've dealt with scroll-snap (which makes URL anchors work correctly with a sticky header) being supported but only for some layouts (every other browser works).

Today I spent hours debugging why pages with a particular iframe embed would log you out of the parent site on Safari / iOS. Possibly because the same first-party resource was requested from both outside and inside the frame? Not sure yet.

If you attempt to use localStorage from a private tab on safari, it reports that it's present and working, but raises an exception on any access (every other platform either does not expose localStorage in private tabs, or clears it after).

> countries and municipalities are in competition with each other over attracting business

What's the point in attracting a business that doesn't pay any tax... further, I (and many others) would argue Apple has a far less positive impact on it's users than it used to, it has turned into more of a money extracting machine and vehicle for consumption.

In other words, if not having a quasi-monopoly operate in your country is a net positive for society, then who cares if they threaten to leave.
From the datasheet, it looks like the C3 doesn't have the Ultra Low Power (ULP) co-processor. This co-processor was there on previous ESP32s and allowed you to run code for sensor monitoring or other basic tasks while the main CPU was stopped, consuming ~150µA. It can then wake the main CPU if certain conditions were met. Wonder why it was removed, and if this would prevent the C3 from being used in these kinds of low-power applications.

It really is as "simple" as that. While there are many biological processes that try to maintain homeostasis and weight, if you ingest less calories you will eventually lose weight.

Think of it this way ... if you were thrown in prison today and they gave you only essential nutrients to survive, you'd lose a lot of weight. Your body might go into starvation mode first and try to fight against it, but without any calories coming in, you will lose weight 100% of the time.

I decided after years of wanting to lose weight, but doing nothing about it, I would just give up and do 1,000 calorie max / day for 3 months.

I lost 20 pounds to bring my BMI in-range without any other changes, and I'm middle aged.

That's not the healthiest way to go about this, but it does work.

It is frustrating that we seem to be evolving towards the nesting of one build system inside another, such as "go build" inside "docker build". (One of the projects I work on uses janky, docker compose, docker build, Go build, Make, Rake, and Bundle.) This approach is opaque, coarse-grained, inefficient, unnecessarily sequential, and doesn't materialize "the" build graph as a single entity from which we can identify our software artifacts and their relationships and derive and automate all our workflows.

Bazel addresses these problems with a single, canonical, first-class graph, and many projects that use Bazel achieve close-to-ideal build efficiency, scalability, and reproducibility, as well as a good foundation for other workflows. But switching to Bazel is a large undertaking for a project that has already become entangled in the kind of situation described above. Maintaining hand-written or generated BUILD files for dependencies can be a burden. (I led the design of Blaze in 2006, at which time Google was already using BUILD files to declare software artifacts and dependencies in its more primitive predecessor system; we simply could not have achieved Blaze even at Google's then scale otherwise.) I often dream of a future world in which it is expected that compiler writers will provide a formal definition of the toolchain's workflow in a form that allows rule-sets for Bazel and its successors to be derived.

So there is a place for tools like Earthly that try to retrofit some of the goodness of pure functional builds onto the mess of Docker files, whose natural abstraction is not
"consume inputs, produce outputs", but "mutate the file system", which doesn't compose.

By strange coincidence I had just started playing last week---a mandatory vacation at my employer---with a proof-of-concept of a tool just like Earthly, so the timing of this announcement couldn't be better.

> What if someone eats the same but creates the caloric deficit through increased exercise? Will they lose weight?

Yes, but there's a reason for the saying "you can't outrun a bad diet". I get it though, you're technically correct and that's the best kind according to meme science.

> I’m sure you have lost your weight through eating less. But have you changed and improved the actual foods you consume also?

Yes, because that's one of the things that makes it easier. Some foods are more satiating than others. And yes, I did increase in exercise. In fact, the exercise preceded the weight loss because the activity I took up (rock climbing) was what finally provided enough motivation for me to overcome my desire to eat more.

> I have a hard time believing one day you were eating nutritionally deficient and caloric dense foods and lost 150 by making no other changes than simply eating less of the same calorically dense and nutritionally deficient food.

It's harder, but definitely possible: http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professor/....

My point being, you can add all the exercise you want but if you're not paying attention to your caloric intake then chances are you're just going to eat more to make up for the expended calories.

Because of its presence on public utility poles, there is a lot that they can do about Comcast. Many people prevail getting Comcast to do stuff by writing cities. The problem is the cushy job Comcast gives people after a long stint in government service in favor of Comcast. That shit isn’t a conspiracy.
I disagree, that's not relevant at all.

These are books that synthesize huge amounts of data. They're incredibly valuable and have plenty of third-party reviews you can read to further learn what their strengths and weaknesses are. They're not perfect, but nothing in science is.

On the other hand, the post you're linking to is a bunch of tiny hand-picked studies that haven't had replication succeed -- as would be trivial to assemble such a list in any field. Those studies don't form the main underpinning of any of these books, so they don't have anything to do with it.
> I highly recommend this approach if you're developing something like a video game and you need a quick and dirty backend for prototyping.

No CMS that I know of (and certainly not Strapi) is designed for prototyping video games... there are purpose-built solutions for that[1]. Strapi and its competitors are for people building static sites and very simple CRUD applications.

There are now also mature platforms like Directus[2] that are less about content and would probably work for your use-case as well, in addition to being more suited for CRUD apps than Strapi would be.

Your solution doesn't really sound like it makes sense anyway. You don't need a lambda to list S3 assets because the S3 API already does that for you (faster and for free).

I think the tl;dr from your post is that you tried to use a hammer to turn a screw, and now you think hammers are not as useful as people say they are.

The other day I was going to add some credit to my Skype account. While doing so I realized it had an old e-mail address registered, so I changed it from within the iOS app.

You know how Skype accounts got merged with Microsoft accounts way back? Well, that apparently broke the link as my Microsoft account and my Skype account now had separate e-mail addresses, so now silently a new Skype account was created (and I assume a new Microsoft account?)

The credit got added to the newly created account, so I now have two accounts to manage (one with credit and one with my Skype contacts).

I went through some similar ordeal twice before, once with Skype when they introduced the link and once with Azure (which rendered the account unusable, luckily I was just evaluating still). Both of those times I spent several hours spread over several days trying to resolve it with support, both times unsuccessfully. Truly Kafkaesque experiences.

This time I gave up after 30min and now have to juggle two Skype accounts until my credit runs out.

It's like no one ever considered that there can be exceptions to "the happy path".
yeah, the intersection of lazy evaluation and side-effects (incl. errors/exceptions) gets confusing, you definitely have to be there to help the student out of a jam. but i think it's useful to start out pretending R follows strict evaluation (because it's natural[1]) and then, once the student gets their bearings, you can introduce laziness.

---

[1] well, not "natural", but aligned with how math stuff is usually taught/done. in most cases, when asked to evaluate `f(x+1)`, you first do `x+1` and then take `f(_)` of that.
