I think people only like that when they write the code themselves and/or are familiar with it.

But if you have to work in a new project / code base and there is a lot of this kind of magic, then it's really really hard to figure out how things work and where you need or even can make changes to change behaviour.

I would go so far to say that this is actually an anti-pattern.

The alternative that I prefer: have a sane default that is generated somewhere and searchable for anyone who doesn't know the convention yet. And in the case of pytest, I think this is just a shortcoming of the language in spite of a better way of doing proper dependency-injection. I remember very well that angular 1.x did something very similar and it was very confusing (they called .toString on the function to find the argument-names). It also violates the general idea of being able to safely refactor a method argument name without breaking things.
Because these aren't really competitive systems.

In the US, since cannabis/CBD/marijuana/etc. are still nominally illegal at the federal level, none of the "legal" operators can avail themselves of the financial system. This prevents things like shuffling product between states, for example, or taking out big loans for expansions that would allow flattening of the market.

And, if I remember correctly, Canada's "legalization" has been one disaster after another because the big players keep buying off and sabotaging the system until they can corner it.
Sorry about that, I shouldn't have put it that way, I was referring more to the history of the abuse scandals and not modern life that I'm unaware of, I didn't phrase it correctly at all. For sure the isolation isn't for everyone but any remote place would be that way.
Can confirm - we lucked in to some lightly used commercial dishwashers. No issues for years (unlike a high-end home dishwasher we recently bought). No discernible difference on the electric or water bill.
Whoa, this is brilliant and solves a very real problem.

How to build an SSH honeypot in Python and Docker
It is most likely Hierarchical Deterministic Wallet, where the web server holds only public key and derivation seed. This way the private key doesn't have to reside online and you can generate as many addresses as you want.
Hey HN, I built Figmage as a Figma plugin because I was super frustrated with managing images and creating image assets every time I wrote a blog post.

Figma is a great tool to design and manipulate images from cropping, resizing, adding annotations, and making cover graphics, and you can export them. So Figmage gives a shareable link to your designs that live in Figma.

Updating your design in Figma, and publishing, will update the images everywhere they're referenced. That means no re-uploads, and re-deploys.

When in comes to collectables, a rule of thumb is prices peak when the children who grew up with the collectable reaches their peak earning years (say 30 years after age 10). This applies to baseball cards, comic books, toys and video games.

But of course, like fine art collectors are incentivized to do standard price manipulation to inflate the price of their collections arbitrarily (which is also useful for money laundering). In other words restrict supply by buying up all existing collections for pennies, and also buying/selling the items to yourself at ever increasing prices.
Wow, this was not the news I wanted to wake up to ever.

How can I reproduce your experiment?
When I was there I was having lunch with some of my cousins. I was chatting about what a great place it was to grow up, being able to be in the country, swimming, explore the island, etc. One of the officials popped in to say hi and overheard that part. They immediately said "What?! Kids are playing outside unsupervised?! That's how bad things happen, who were they, when did it happen." etc etc. I explained I was talking in the hypothetical and they left. We joked that we'd get a visit by the government social worker soon. Probably a coincidence but 5 minutes later the social worker comes in "Just passing by, thought I'd chat and see how things are going" lol.

One downside, in my opinion, of the way the government jobs are advertised is they attract missionaries and people who want to "save" the islanders from their lives. I remember watching a presentation one official did before going to the island - it was a presentation to their church group, about the opportunity they had to save the islanders, etc which seemed to me inappropriate for someone who is supposed to be there to do a specific job - in this case the teaching position.
The answer is simple: Alice [1].

ALICE is a rocket propellant made of aluminum and water. Both are available on the surface of the moon. Just make it using solar panels where the sun shines, and ferry it around using lunar rovers. If it can be used to propel rockets, it can be used to power turbines for electrical generators.

And if people don't like old-fashined turbine-based dynamos, then, why not go for Alcoa's aluminum-based battery [2] ? The lunar regolith (dirt) contains plenty of oxygen and aluminum [3].

It's absolutely an accurate use of statistics. One third of the male population was imprisoned for sexual abuse. Regardless of how many, wouldn't you want to know if 1/3 of the men around you are sexual abusers?
That depends on how much internal politics there is. In some companies asking will make the other department concerned that you're going to compete with them for the market and they will then attempt to shut you down preemptively. Thus secrecy and keeping things internal to the the department since your greatest competitors are internal and not external.
> Instead, I simply do not believe that this is the reason for which Apple is introducing these capabilities.

Okay, what do you believe the reason is then? I can understand being skeptical of the claim that it's for child abuse and safety, but if you don't believe that then you must have something that you believe is the more likely reason. I also want to point out that, yes, the system could be abused for a multitude of reasons but that doesn't mean the actual reason for building the system is different.
A few crimes here and there don't justify global surveillance. By this logic, we should live in cages with ankle gps bracelets to prevent crime.

For me, texting is a more immediate medium than say, email.

I keep read receipts and typing indicators turned on by default. I think it's a personal preference but for me it shifts the tone of the medium in a way I find valuable and honest.
It is the first step (without going into nuclear physics) in calculating how much energy is released. You take the enthalpy of the fission reaction, joules per gram input, and that dictates everything after. In fission reactions you get (iirc) giga or megajoules per g instead of kilojoules per g.
If you develop cheats, it's a challenging problem that you can make a good bit of money if you are successful. As for the users, some do it to win money in competitions, some just like to play on god-mode. It's definitely more prevalent in free games since there's no financial disincentive when you get banned. There are also other ways to cheat that aren't actually cheating, like smurfing where a good player just makes new accounts to play against low level players or intentionally loses higher level games to bring them back down to low-level games.
There are government jobs - administration, post office, local council, maintenance of roads, buildings, etc. They make and sell crafts, honey, coffee, etc online and to cruise ships. The latter has taken a hit due to borders being closed during covid. See Pipco for an example https://www.pipco.pn

Some of the islanders have small businesses - one runs a Pizza place with regular pizza nights.

Maybe you can get some stuff wrong and still pass.

But if someone has been stuck for 20 minutes on this game, through 30 different screens of it, and not passed yet, you can surely understand why they may think the reason is they are getting some edge-case stuff "wrong" and the machine is very picky, so they have to figure out the secret rules needed to pass.

I did try once for 20 minutes to see if tenacity would win, until I gave up because it still hadn't let me pass. I'm pretty sure that my error rate was very low, if not zero.

I'm guessing those times when I've been unable to get past a Captcha were due to the IP address I was connecting from, but it's pretty abusive of a site to tell someone it will let them in if they solve a simple test correctly, and then repeatedly show a new version of the test, never letting them in and never telling them no either. Cloudflare and Google have been bad for this.
No because pastafarianism is a funny, if aged, joke among atheists. You don't sincerely believe in the spaghetti monster, and the courts could hold you in contempt.

But why would an atheist who likes to mock religion want to live in a country that criminalizes it?

You only have to label the 3D Bounding Box once. Then you can automatically generate 2D bounding boxes for every frame of the video. So instead of annotating every frame with a 2D box, you only annotate once with a 3D box.

Though, I wonder if the whole hassle of relying on RGB-D sensor of a phone, copying from your phone and using a yet another annotation tool, is worth it, when you can instead use some tracking bbox annotation tool, which interpolates many frames.
With those, you can even annotate moving and distant objects, which I would argue is even better for generalization (since the background changes).

But I bet there are some use cases/users which can profit from it.
I would say a place that is both so small and so riddled with sexual abuse definitely qualifies as "rather sad". I think your bias/passion for its/your heritage might be skewing your perception. If 1/3 of the male population are convicted, I would assume the realities of who partook are actually much worse.
You meant 50 or 60 times a second. SNES wasnt that fast. And yeah what you were describing was common
It looks like as many young adults were vaccinated in March as in February, but deaths drop off quickly.

I suspect if "number of vaccines given" was displayed on the chart, ideally grouped by week instead of month, it would be more obvious that the increase in deaths actually preceded the vaccinations, rather than the other way around.
You're right, wasn't thinking about the numbers just what I remember on the displays. It's charging at ~100kW, (usually in the range of 90-120), and new ones can deliver power ~2.5x as fast.
I was homeless for a few years. People do the same thing to homeless people: assume you are bad and wrong and stupid and need someone else to fix you.

Nope, no interest in what actually happened to you that you ended up so poor. Nope, it couldn't have anything to do with systemic issues. You just must be a bad person.

I'm sorry we still do this so much throughout the world.
Yes, but Apple coordinated with them and more or less endorsed it right? I know it’s not Apples position, but they are defacto embracing it in my opinion. They have structure this to crush dissent through layers of technical speak and policy speak. It is an important distinction but the whole package and celebration of this system smells bad and Apple is at the heart of it.
I was a kid who always would try to break every system I came across, no matter what it was. I disassembled our FiOS fiber box when I was 11 just to see if I could get us onto the 1Gb plan somehow. I bypassed the "free beta over" modal on a major photo retouching program to get myself free $99 license keys when I was 12 (inspect elem ftw). I was just always in this mindset of "how do I get around this" even if there was literally nothing of desire behind it.

So naturally when it came to anti cheats, I spent a lot of time reverse engineering and had the same mindset. I never cheated against others in a way to benefit; sometimes to just troll, sometimes to joke around with friends, and occasionally I would be a dick to others who were being a dick as well. I started developing and contributing to other cheats and talking to other programmers as well. I still have a lot of the contacts, especially the people that sell thousands/$ cheats that get used by top 100 in country players (not pro, but tournament players)...

But I will be honest. It got really painful when I realized cheats that I contributed to were being used against my favorite youtubers. I know it sounds stupid, almost like doublethink, to watch and enjoy famous youtubers who vehemently attack cheaters while cheating myself. But in Tom Scott's words [0], "everyone draws the moral line of what's acceptable just slightly below what they're actually doing". But I've nearly entirely given up with playing the game because I have found far more enriching uses of my time, than doing something that actively harms so many people.

I suspect that the discussion would look very differently if the article had not named the person but rather discussed general abusive behavior of managers in faang. Now people feel like they have to take a side, with the mob or against the mob, and that makes people uncomfortable.

This might be the origin to libel laws. One might think they exist exclusively to protect those accused unfairly, but it might be to also protect society in general from feeling uncertainty about people being attacked.
But this kind of stuff is exactly what requires top-down changes. There are specific governmental regulations and economic incentives that encourage the current way of living. You'll need different laws and a different economic environment to make a change here.

I find it disturbing that they seemingly are allowed to do things on the devices of their US customers, that in most countries are reserved to law enforcement agencies exclusively.

Also I think they should have to face serious repercussions in countries with strong data protection laws, should they decide to unilaterally change terms of service for their users in these jurisdictions, to reserve the right to search their devices for illegal images.

For many people heavily invested in their ecosystem, it’s also not that easy to just walk away. For other users, the alternative (Google) is not necessarily more trustworthy.
I wonder if those oral traditions are being recorded and shared somehow. I assume you are talking about oral histories from locals.

That's wonderful news! I really appreciate the efforts of the folks at NVIDIA that eliminated that legal risk. Adam Marrs was the committer, but I realize he may have had to get buy-in from other people.
Unfortunately, if asking nicely (or even firmly) several times does not work and you have to scream at someone, they will never get it anyways, and it’s better for everyone else’s morale if that person is fired.

Of course. That’s not my point. My point is that it won’t be effective at actually reducing child abuse as long as there are alternatives.
I’m wondering if this is intended to become a place to publish public notebooks like observablehq.com? I think Observable benefits a lot from having lots of other people’s notebooks to use as inspiration.
You and I both know how incredibly difficult that is. And that it simply doesn’t have to be this way, but Apple wants the control and they are going to fight to keep it. The phone duopoly you must exist within if you want a modern device is untenable for society in my opinion. The few of us, as technocrats, are the ones who have to speak up and advocate for those who can’t go as deep on the technical issues as we can. It’s all spiraling to a user hostile, corporate controlled world.
The U.S. government's long and shameful history of intercepting people's letters
"You can visit without a visa for up to 14 days, while long-term visit visas are valid for up to 6 months.
"

"How do people travel to/from Pitcairn?
The Government of Pitcairn Islands charters a passenger/cargo vessel. This currently carries supplies and passengers to the island every three months."

How do you visit for only 14 days if there is no airport and the ship only comes every three months?
From what I've read, the scanning only takes place on icloud images. You can choose not to backup to icloud and the images won't be scanned. Other cloud storage providers have done something similar in the past where if the hash of the content matches copyrighted movies or music, the content is deleted.

Holy shit, I didn't know. I'm sorry, I'm shocked and just don't know what to say. Thanks byuu for all your work. Hope you find peace. You will be remembered.
The Tahitian legends are documented in the book "Ancient Tahiti" by Teuira Henry. "Ancient Tahitian Society" by Douglas Oliver also mentions it. "Vikings of the Sunrise" by Te Rangi Hīroa (Sir Peter Buck) mentions the Mangarevan legends. There's also other accounts around. I first saw it written on a sign at the archaeological remains of an old Marae in Mo'orea.

The histories of Pitcairn are kept alive through cultural studies taught by the islanders to the school kids.

>So put the CO2 tax money toward EV credits, solar, wind, batteries, carbon capture and power-to-gas tech, etc...

It's a pretty well known meme that "the government shouldn't pick winners and losers" (specific technologies).

Sure, maybe it's not always true, maybe you disagree, but couldn't you at least address how/why?

Why can't we have a CO2 tax and not choose what to subsidize, because we (some would say) will surely get it wrong and if anything matters, that matters.
These kind if arguments are kinda senseless, I imagine the driver refuels on the journey / breaks the journey in some way, but, it seems the UK north of London probably does need a lot more charging options on the road. Personally, I would still be using a diesel in the north of the Uk too, but I’m hoping I won’t need to do soon!
> Why are these photos so depressing? What is it about their composition that is so enervating?

If the causality was a property of the images, those questions would have definitive answers.

But our emotions are not transmitted to us by inanimate objects or images. They come from within our psyches. There is an element of choice to what we feel. If there wasn’t, we would be zombies, or machines, or vulnerable imbeciles who could be overcome by an enemy combatant who would need no gun, knife or club - just a picture of a traffic light.
Yes, mostly tourist based. There are no taxes.
To my knowledge, no open source implimentation of RCS exists. On Android, the AOSP messaging app does not allow for RCS, only the proprietary Google version of Messaging does. This instantly excludes anyone who wants to use RCS but does not want to get tangled up with Google.

Very frankly, I am very very wary of any app that claims E2EE without source code. How are my private keys made and handled? How can I verify others keys? This says nothing to verifying that the encryption inplimentation is actually correct.
I think they’re getting sample-size stuff from brands to use for some of the giveaways, which is a smart approach. And they are a little stingy with the cold brew. They seem to disable the tap around lunchtime.
