AD: I wrote a library that can deal with this for JWT https://github.com/endiangroup/compandauth

The skiny is that you place a copy of some monotonic counter inside every JWT you issue, you keep track of the counter server side and compare with each request's JWT copy + some delta (which is the equivalent of maximum number of concurrent sessions you wish the user to have).
B-52s first two albums are absolutely brilliant. They were just breaking the rules with their instruments, vocals, songwriting, and recording, and (importantly) making great music.

To this day, playing side 1 of the first album starting with "Planet Claire" late at night just puts me in a mood that is hard to describe.

I feel that they lost their songwriting edge after Ricky Wilson passed away in the mid 1980s and Strickland moved from drums to guitar. The later stuff was very pop oriented and slickly produced and expanded their audience, but it was missing that experimentation and irreverence from their early years.
It's science but it doesn't give very useful actionable things you can do to change your weight. Generally people interpret it to mean you get two inputs you can change, food intake and exercise, and they're independent. Unfortunately, those two things are not independent. Increased exercise often leads to increased hunger which leads to increased eating for many people in the real world. Just saying "eat less" in this context is about as useful as telling someone to be better at their job. Many people will not have the willpower to sustain eating the diet they currently eat but eat less of it. Decreasing calories consumed can lower basal metabolic rate. You can easily google for data on this from the Biggest Loser contestants.

There are also other ways to modify those two parameters that don't involve food and exercise. Are you a type 1 diabetic and want to lose weight? Just under dose your insulin and the pounds will fly off. Want to lose weight but you aren't diabetic? Take a little DNP. Want to lose weight faster? Take a little more DNP. Just don't take too much or instead of losing weight you'll die of hyperthermia. Taking DNP or under dosing insulin are not things I would ever recommend anyone do but they are both examples of non food and activity related ways to affect calories out.
Yeah, the Coolest Cooler seems like a great product if you're into making blender cocktails at parties. A single unified battery for a Peltier and speaker and blender seems like a sensible idea, although it doesn't add that much value over a separate battery-powered blender, Peltier cooler, and speaker. But realistically every place you're going to want a battery-powered blender you're also going to want a good cooler, so that kind of makes sense, and you can get a pretty good bluetooth speaker from a cereal box-top these days so that's a cheap bolt-on to make this the all-singing all-dancing party machine.

edit: Googling, I can't seem to find out - does it actually provide electric cooling? Or is it just a big high-quality insulated cooler with some electronic doodads attached?
Now that’s a system I’d like to see some innovation on: a smart contract card dealer that manages to keep your hand secret. Would be a great demo for a privacy coin.
Also all sales are final and any order mistakes or anything is final. It's all Grifting.
Arguably OLPC's approach has - in hindsight - been discredited, but yeah, it seems overly cruel to lump it in with Juicero or Theranos.

We do have impossibly cheap computers now that are far more accessible, that do nearly all the things normally expected of computers, and with widely available resources for programming on them - RPi, Chromebooks, etc.

The success of those devices relative to OLPC (with of course, the benefit of hindsight) seems to come down to a few major differences in the approach:

- insistence on highly-custom everything, rather than exploiting as much as possible off-the-shelf to keep costs down.

- insistence on targeting the absolute lowest-cost end of the market initially rather than starting at a higher price point and using that as a starting point for iterative cost-reduction.

The latter pitfall one still sees various hardware startups fall into with some regularity. Universal accessibility is a fantastic goal, but often the easiest way to do it is to sell something considerably more expensive first.

IMHO they're the same thing. Automate all cars to get around the right of way and high construction costs that limit rail development. I think the upgrades needed to roads are minimal in comparison. Maybe some sensors and signals but it may be just perfecting signage, lines, etc.
I haven't worked with spaced repetition, so I haven't looked into this.

Obsidian does have a plugin system that you might be able to use to add spaced repetition, but I don't know if anyone has written a plugin to do this yet.
8% of American adults, according to another article on HN today.

Though it didn't break that down further by age. I suspect a good number of those are retirees with significant savings (and paid-off real estate) to be spent down over the next few decades.

I'm surprised that so much of the discussion around Copilot has centered around licensing rather than this.

You're basically asking a robot that stayed up all night reading a billion lines of questionable source code to go on a massive LSD trip and then use the resulting fever dream to fill in your for loops.

Coming from a hardware background where you often spend 2-8x of your time and money on verification vs. on the actual design, it seems obvious to me that Copilot as implemented today will either not provide any value (best case), will be a net negative (middling case), or will be a net negative, but you won't realize that you've surrounded yourself with a minefield for a few years (worst case).

Having an "autocomplete" that can suggest more lines of code isn't better, it's worse. You still have to read the result, figure out what it's doing, and figure out why it will or will not work. Figuring out that it won't work could be relatively straightforward, as it is today with normal "here's a list of methods" autocomplete. Or it could be spectacularly difficult, as it would be when Copilot decides to regurgitate "fast inverse square root" but with different constants. Do you really think you're going to be able to decipher and debug code like that repeatedly when you're tired? When it's a subtly broken block of code rather than a famous example?

That Easter example looks horrific, but I can absolutely see a tired developer saying "fuck it" and committing it at the end of the day, fully intending to check it later, and then either forgetting or hoping that it won't be a problem rather than ruining the next morning by attempting to look at it again.

I can't imagine ever using it, but I worry about new grads and junior developers thinking that they need to use crap like this because some thought leader praises it as the newest best practice. We already have too much modern development methodology bullshit that takes endless effort to stomp out, but this has the potential to be exceptionally disastrous.

I can't help but think that the product itself must be a PSYOP-like attempt to gaslight the entire industry. It seems so obvious to me that people are going to commit more broken code via Copilot than ever before.
I've been following Rossmann's videos on NYC commercial real estate. It is just shocking to see how many vacant commercial properties there are on every block. His street-level videos are, imho, more telling than any professional market analysis.
If you had told me that the article was by Derek Lowe and that there are a number of nitrogen atoms involved, I would have indeed (wrongly) guessed that it were Things I Won’t Work With, that the compound had been created by the Klapötke group at Munich University and that it would go boom ;)
Well, not quite. This time at least.
If the ACLU were regularly taking cases like this, I'd stop giving the ACLU money.

This seems like a problem for the private sector to solve. He should contact his local Chamber of Commerce - it's supposed to look out for business interests, after all, and for any given municipality, seems to have most of the town's politicians in its pocketbook.
IMO Copilot doesn't need to be perfect. It just needs to be better than copy pasting the code from a colleague or from Stack Overflow.
Unfortunately for Google (and fortunately for the rest of us), they have no risk-free mechanism[1] to achieve this feat exclusively. Strategically, any sort of balkanization will mean Google's competitors can gather resources and improve technically while being shielded from competing with Google; Google would much rather bludgeon any nascent competitor early (by offering a better[2] product, today) before they grow any legs.

ISPs, on the other hand, can approve service providers this via prioritization, or DNS-/traffic-level blocking. Google was cognizant early, which is why it became a fervent "net neutrality" supporter.

1. I cannot think of anything else that could bring down anti-trust regulation faster than Google angling to be the sole service provider for an entire market

2. "better" being measured by market success.
I disagree. I think if anything, it'll lead to people being more angry/disillusioned about recycling. It's the equivalent of your teacher/parent/manager micromanaging you on trivial tasks. Let the person figure out what they want to do but make sweeping changes that are meaningful (e.g. reg cap on companies producing/importing disposable plastic goods).
That checkout had just enough friction that I didn't purchase anything.
The headline could have been Jamie Dimon knits sweaters for kittens and Jacobin would talk about how the wall street banksters are mercilessly waging class war on just good old regular folks like you and me.

My point is it doesn't matter what Jacobin says on anything because they have exactly one take on everything. It doesn't make the story not true, it just makes it not worth listening to their take on it.

We are still on track to be on Mars on or before 2069 though, and might have a permanent moon base by then. Even since the moon launch humanity has built several more-or-less permanent bases in space, increased its space-industrial base by hundreds of times and set up an interplanetary comms network. Sure I'd like it to go even faster but I don't think it's going all that slowly.

For someone reading a history book in the year 3500 these past 5 decades are all very close together. It's not like steam trains exploded out of the gates 2 years after the the first steam engine was used to drain coal mines in England, that also took several decades to spread to the general public.
The arrogance of this comment is astounding.

Obsidian supports plugins, but on that note, if you want to practice spaced repetition, maybe point a spaced repetition app at your notes? It doesn't seem to make sense that a note-taking app should take any particular interest in that use case, when it can be better served by a dedicated app, and there's little overlap with more "ordinary" needs.
I'm generally referring to float pond greenhouses though some variants are emerging that use artificial light in a vertical setting for the germination stage where loss rates are high and you can get extremely high density. The types of density you can't get in the overfunded vertical pipe dreams in VC.

So that when you hit the float pond for a 12-16 grow cycle, there's marginal loss.
I made this!

I had an old website of mine (my old video game portafolio) that I wanted to bring back to life. I have no sources and no backups. But it was still on the Wayback Machine! I first wrote a quick wrapper in Ruby and it worked fine. I then decide to open source it and publish it. It was a fun adventure to see this being used by so many! <3

Black shade is related with having a stronger shell and protection in a dark place, so we would have two opposite selective forces crashing one against the other. Crabs would track and eat any white mussels in its first months (probably, I'm just speculating).
The thing about Juicero's story that makes it amusing is the fact the company managed to get several brand name VC's to pour in a metric ton of money. I mean in an ideal world, Juicero should have been something you'd have seen on Shark Tank right after somebody's pitch about socks with pockets or something.
How do you guarantee next day delivery? Do you currently limit merchants to being located in certain areas or how does that work behind the scenes? Even 2 day shipping is a complicated feat to achieve requiring lots of forecasting, data, and personnel.

It's a great idea, B2B connectors of businesses (esp. up-and-coming) to suppliers is a great space to be in.

I wonder if you would consider opening up your manufacturers / suppliers list to countries outside of Africa? Like Alibaba / Indiamart but for West Africa.

Good luck!

Historically, when a democratic government meets an existential problem that it can't convince or use its richest members to pay for, then that democratic government is, either slowly or quickly, replaced by a more authoritarian government that will then do one of two things:

1 - Forcibly use the wealth of the country to solve the problem, over the objection of those prevented that use of wealth previously.

or

2 - Forcibly silence the people who are experiencing hardship as a result of the problem, so the society can go back to believing (realistically or not) that there is no such problem worth solving.

This happens by degrees, as a very rough response to the degree of hardship presented by the problem, at first, but is the expected result if the society can't democratically answer the "who will pay for it, not I" question.
Great Product, I love this solution and uderstand it well, because i come from Latin America, and we have similar problems here. Wish you success!
I never hopped on the Love Shack bandwagon. I'm with you, their first few albums were the best.

There is ample evidence that the 20th century on the uS west coast was an abnormality when it came to rain and rainfall. The normal going back 2000 years is of a much hotter drier region for the west, here is a study that proves that - https://ucanr.edu/blogs/blogcore/postdetail.cfm?postnum=1327...

This is a great write up of a great album! Really love how they show the inspiration for certain songs/parts of the album, and how the album went on to influence others. It's a more honest portrayal of how music is created (heavy inspiration from all over!); it's very easy for music discussions to delve into pissing contests on who created what or what was "original", when the fact of the matter is everyone is "ripping off" everyone.

Maggot Brain is one of those special albums in that once you get put onto it, you see it's influence everywhere. I originally learned about Maggot Brain (the song), because I really loved the song Before the Beginning off of John Frusciantes album The Empyrean. Once I learned that song was just an ode to Maggot Brain, I listened to the original song/album and fell in love. From there, the album and Funkadelic's influence seemed to show up everywhere for me and this article does a great job of conveying that.
I suspect you're running ublock origin or similar. I get the black page with it, but it renders correctly when I temporarily disable it.

If that is the case, I'm not really sure why you would expect developers to control for the situation where the user agent doesn't actually download the resources that the page requests.
I live in the Pacific Northwest. It took only two years to go from:

"Breaking news: Record-setting forest fires in California will send smoke up to Washington."

to:

"It's wildfire season again, here's our favorite air filters for 2021."

Humanity's ability to go from "oh, shit" to "this is fine" and just not realize how much worse things have gotten is incredible.

I assume in 2025 we'll all just scroll past the boring article about which ten metropolitan cities in Florida washed into the Gulf today so that we can get to some funny comics.
One important thing to note is that in the over 9 years I have held a DCA license for repair, they have never

a) checked my soldering skills
b) looked to see whether I got dust between the LCD cell & backlight layers when doing screen replacement
c) checked to see what quality of iPhone screens we use for screen repairs
d) asked or tested my ability to do my job

You pay the troll toll, and you get a paper that goes on your wall. I could be the best tech in the world, or I could be a giant idiot... you'd never know.

Some people have the mistaken impression that being licensed means I have been tested, inspected, etc.. nope. They inspect to make sure your business cards have your license number on them. They don't inspect to figure out if you actually do good work for your customers.
Because they can't make enough of them. How long did it take between the end of Phase 3 trials and you getting your first dose?

Beyond that, Cuba's economy is in shambles as there is no tourism to make money from and as covid restrictions are incredibly strict while cases are increasing.

If you've never had the chance to live as an average citizen in an average developing country it's hard to understand, but actually fleeing on boats is really not uncommon. Where I'm from people that can't even swim take discarded water bottles, stuff them under their t-shirts, and swim 40km to richer countries, for purely economic reasons.

When you don't have enough money for a plane ticket, you don't have the choice, and it's a lot more common in the world than you think. Cuba doesn't even have emigration rates that are out of the norm for poor countries close to rich countries.
I’m legitimately interested in why their original request was denied. Environmental concerns? Safety concerns? Too much power? Too much noise? Fire concern? Insufficient containment area if the tanks leak?

Without a prior documented restriction for a specific reason, it appears to be government interference.

Was the reason identified? Any mitigations suggested?
Code is much mores structured than English. Code is built around well defined ideas, processes, datastructures. Human language is context dependent, loose, and things like tonality of speech can change the meaning.

It's easier to guess a multiple choice questions when all choices can be generated by intellisense instead of having to look at a dictionary.
No, you're not alone. I read it the same way.

And sure, the flight matters a bit -- but mostly, I'm of the opinion that it doesn't matter much, and the article failed to make a good case for why I'm mistaken.
Because the media is willfully lying.
Yes, but the Coolest Cooler with its blender and speakers seems obviously designed for beach parties and not outdoorsmen. I don't doubt there's a market for high-end coolers but there are very different use-cases.

Like, as a car-camper I always spring for the plug-in car-powered Peltier coolers.
Java might throw a ConcurrentModificationException. The docs are quite clear that it's not guaranteed and best-effort only.

I would love better interoperability between Obsidian and Mochi.

Ester Ledecká medalled in both snowboarding and skiing in the 2018 Winter Olympics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ester_Ledeck%C3%A1

Obviously those aren't as different as swimming and handball though.

Honestly, I don't think the idea of splitting the Olympics over several sites is a bad one. The advantages (less construction at each site, more ideal conditions for each sport) might outweigh the disadvantages (less opportunity for multi-sport athletes, less interaction between athletes from different sports). I always like seeing the USA men's basketball team show up to watch the USA swimmers, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if that tradition doesn't continue.
The main issue is channels are a very low level primitive (not far from mutexes and atomics). When generics come out we there will emerge a library that handles a lot of the common channel idioms that people are implementing (perhaps somewhat incorrectly).

Thanks like fanouts, multidispatch, sinks, chaining, simple concurrency, etc will likely emerge in a lib in the future.
And then you still will spread your focus. You'll have to summarize in paralel with trying to understand a professor. That doesn't work well and very tiresome.

Why not to watch a recording of a lecture in the first place and pause when you need to think?
For comparison:

https://spaceflightnow.com/2021/02/28/russia-launches-arctic...

"The Soyuz-2.1b rocket lifted off from the Site 31 launch pad at Baikonur at 1:55:01 a.m. EST (0655:01 GMT; 11:55:01 a.m. local time) and quickly disappeared into a shroud of fog hanging over the frozen steppes of Kazakhstan."
One other large issue is that less popular languages (CL, Scheme, Smalltalk, etc) sometimes just don't have the library you need or the libraries are immature and not fully developed.

Database adapters for something like SQL Server is a great example. Most languages have a Postgres library, but sometimes the business requires a SQL Server connection...it's rarely been by choice that I've wanted to use it, but by necessity.

Another is Salesforce...I don't know anyone who would voluntarily want to work with Salesforce, but more and more it's often a requirement to have a working soap library, Salesforce client, etc. Sure, you could write your own...but I can't think of something less interesting to do in development, when you could just switch languages and integrate directly without having to write a lot of glue code.

I do feel like I get more done in Common Lisp when the language 100% hits my use case, but it seems invariable that my use case involves external services I didn't plan on that have to be re-implemented or a work around/microservice written for them in a different language.
When you go camping, "cooler management" is a pain in the ass. Ice becomes one of your biggest limiting factors in the duration of you trip. Anything that can make keeping cold stuff cold for long periods of time is a worthy investment.
The real question is why is a government license needed to operate a business at all?
