Others have expressed the thought that this is a bad name because of obscenity. I think it's a bad name for another reason. It's incredibly generic and very likely people are already using some tool, likely an internal one, with exactly the same name. My houseguest was just bragging yesterday about a tool called unfuck he wrote for Wikipedia when he was there.

Call it py27-unfuck or unfuck-py27.

Reminds me of a guy who wrote a tool called "cmp" at an old employer. Stupid choice, man.
Kesar mangos from India is my choice. And I have never had any mango grown in the Western Hemisphere anywhere near comparable to an Indian mango. The ones I had in Zimbabwe and Kenya were really good though.

Based on the 2 previous sentences, he's either saying something like:

"are you aware that this is the [right use] case [for programming language framework distributed orchestration]?"

or

>are you aware that this [overlap between Kubernetes-style container orchestration vs programming language frameworks] is the case?

It appears Roger Johansson is author of Akka.NET from Sweden so English may not be his best language.

> I think many at Apple behind this decision are likely pretty surprised by the blowback.

Maybe they would have been surprised where it ended up, but someone in charge there is definitely on board with a reversal on the previous privacy stance, given the doubling-down with an email signal-boosting the NCMEC calling privacy concerns the "screeching of the minority".
I address that topic in the FAQ which is linked on the tourist visa page. Maybe i'll make it more prominent. Would love to hear other thoughts on that.

The note:
Disclaimer: This is not legal advice. Generally you'll need special visa or permit to enter a country and work there. That means, that a tourist visa would not be enough. But remote work means that you are not working there, but working from there? The problem is, that these clauses or exceptions are often not yet defined by the law which makes remote work on a tourist visa generally illegal or at least a grey zone. If you are not hired by a local company or interfere with local business, then remote work on a tourist visa seems to be sometimes tolerated (e.g. Thailand - https://e27.co/immigration-officers-raid-co-working-space-pu...). This is not the case with every country, so if you are planning to work remotely on a tourist visa, make sure to research specifically for the target country. The solution: Check out the special digital nomad visas or research work holiday visas. No visa runs needed.
I love the site!

Not sure if this is the feedback you were looking for but I noticed its a bit slow though. I would look at the GET to https://api.visum.so/api/country_data/

It returns all countries data which is slow and uncompressed. Either hit it once and keep it in memory so you can switch countries easily, or better yet break it up to api/country_data/<country> and just send back the info for that country

I would also get rid of stripe if you're not using it yet.

This is very common. Always take the call. But be careful.

They are quite possibly scoping you out on behalf of a portfolio company and might want to make a large offer to do a merger. So, you could get rich, or they could clone all of the ideas that you let them have. Make sure that the only ideas they can clone are on your website already.

Here are a few simple rules to follow to keep yourself from slipping up:

* Do not talk about future stuff that isn't on your website, unless you're talking about things that will launch in the next week or two.

* Don't brag, especially about things that you are planning to do and aren't already in the market.

* Don't share numbers or profits that isn't on your website, although you might want to be (very slightly) flexible on this one.

* Always talk about WHAT your product(s) do, but never HOW they do it. VC's probably won't care or won't understand the how anyway.

* Try not to be overly enamored or subservient in your tone (don't be a jerk, either.)

* Always keep in mind exactly what you hope to achieve.

* Don't talk too much.

* If you get a good offer, get a strong lawyer from another town in your state (not the same city) that can advise you, and do not get into a situation where you are paying the lawyer but then change your mind. Often lawyers kill deals, so either keep the lawyer around just to paper the deal, or you can bring them in when during the whole discussion -- but only if you think you really need them. But remember this rule of thumb: if they have counsel on the call, you should too.

Remember that even if everything goes perfectly and they invest or make an offer for your whole company for one of their portfolio companies, you will have to maintain a good relationship with them for a very long time, and possibly one of your direct competitors -- and that's probably the best-case scenario. The worst case is a lot worse.

And, congratulations on attracting this attention from a power player. That means you're onto something. Sometimes, the best answer is to hear what they have to say, and then not move forward with any potential offer (have a strong BATNA).
Haha, what an argument.

Grandma does just fine on Android and would be utterly confused by iOS.

Leia and Moff Tarkin (sp?) were not convincing to me - they're incredible feats, but it just looked like a couple of video game characters stuck in the movie (I'm being a bit harsh there). One shot of Tarkin was pretty great, until he moved.

I'm not at all saying this isn't all incredible progress, but it seems like it's almost asymptotic to creating a convincing on screen effect?

Thanks all for the links and suggestions for scenes to check out.

I'd say swap piracy and drugs, and you have the escalation order.
Just because you can bring in some infrastructure level tool to ensure that “X always happens” does not mean it is necessarily a good idea. If you have a small team, small budget, tight timeline, etc. it could serve as a major distraction when “just doing it in code” would be good enough.
I started out from a BTEC (changed to BECTEC and 2 years instead of just 1 year shortly after I did mine) and was taught COBOL. First Job doing COBOL and I wrote a program, really upset the analyst - as with JSP exception handling done way differently than just using GOTO (a COBOL verb I'd never used or was even aware of as was hard core JSP). Was explained the whole aspect of efficiency and with many aspects of code - what looks neat and nice today over time will get modified and how it was easier to modify something with GOTO's over some elegant JSP layout. That and efficiency of the code - performance.

So I learned the usual lesson many do when you go from Educational ideals into Working reality. Real World business don't run on cutting edge changing soon as that changes, legacy/stability and historical aspects do play out. So whilst you may know a better way, there are many factors that make that impracticable. Sure if rewriting your code-base and hardware to the cutting edge of the time was viable then people would do it, but testing and verification of code - when done properly takes longer than the time to build the latest cutting edge system. Let alone the whole cost factor.

I imagine many have comparable stories upon their move from the realms of Education into Work. Do share as be nice to read what brain-walls today's first workers encounter.
Senate Bill ‚Open App Markets Bill’ will require Apple and Google to be more open to third-party app stores and sideloaded apps.

Quote:

The Open App Markets Act would protect developers' rights to tell consumers about lower prices and offer competitive pricing; protect sideloading of apps; open up competitive avenues for startup apps, third party app stores, and payment services; make it possible for developers to offer new experiences that take advantage of consumer device features; give consumers more control over their devices; prevent app stores from disadvantaging developers; and set safeguards to continue to protect privacy, security, and safety of consumers.
As I am still looking for active monitoring for vaccine adverse events, in the attempt of finding more indicative numbers (when you meet passive monitoring numbers like those of VAERS you have to also guess the multiplier that comes from under-reporting), I noticed that reports of the Australian TGA system (Therapeutic Goods Administration) may be worth some credit. The reports are at:

https://www.tga.gov.au/periodic/covid-19-vaccine-weekly-safe...

The database itself can be browsed at

https://apps.tga.gov.au/PROD/DAEN/daen-entry.aspx

The DAEN (Database of Adverse Event Notifications) is unfortunately still part of a mostly "passive" endavour (to update the DB the vaccinated individual has to raise a notification), but with the notable exception of the case of death in some Australian states (unspecified), in which it is mandatory for the medical practitioner involved in the process to update the said DB. The TGA then reviews the said death reports. This is the closest I have yet found for active monitoring.

The DAEN unfortunately does not distinguish between Serious Adverse Event and temporary distress - "a few days" and "a few months" lasting effects are mixed.
Thank you. Blank alt text is a valid answer. Decorative image (i.e., images which effectively add no value to the content) should not be alt'ed.

Unfortunately, SEOs have led too many people to believe otherwise. As if some random BS (stock photo) image is going going to become some sort of beacon for quality traffic. This isn't going to change until Google uses its image interpreter to penalize alt'ed images that shouldn't be.
This is to the best of my knowledge incorrect. I know more than one person that came to Germany as self employed without having customers prior to immigration.

I don't agree that what Apple is doing is sufficiently distinct from what Google has already been doing to represent an Overton window shift. To most people, they will see that the corpus of images being targeted is functionally identical to what Google has been doing for Android users for many years and therefore the difference is mere implementation detail. A distinction without a difference. Nothing more.

Highly technical, libertarian-minded people see a big distinction between on-device and off-device scanning. But such people have always eschewed the "managed experience" model of Apple devices.
Very true. With two kids in the pool you have to be like one of those auto-tipping novelty birds: you check, you look away at something else, YOU CHECK, you have a splash and a look at the sky, YOU CHECK ...

I think a reasonable programmer who would expect (1) and (2) to behave the same would also expect the following to happen:

a = [1, 2]; b = [3, 4]
c = a
a += b
print(c) # [1, 2] — assignment was a copy
print(a) # [1, 2, 3, 4]

So every list assignment would have to be a copy for that mental model not to break easily.

And certainly, there are languages that do that.

Just not Python — for performance reasons, you need to be explicit about copying large chunks of memory, though it includes a fair number of footguns like concatenation of strings and lists, or even slicing — eg. "for a in long_list[:-2]:" will make a duplicate of long_list in memory.
> What if

Given that a functionally identical system has been implemented by Google for years, we should already know what will happen. So let me ask. Is this already happening to people with Android devices? In terms of opportunities for framing someone, how is what Google does any different?
The visa recommendations seem wrong, at least for my country (Latvia).

The site claims I need a tourist visa for all EU countries (wrong), and do not need a visa to visit Russia (also wrong).
There is a universe where consumers have a right to purchase products without the market interference of exclusivity agreements, and that universe contains the EU:

> (151) In an exclusive distribution agreement the supplier agrees to sell his products only to one distributor for resale in a particular territory.

The rules are complicated and depend on the supplier's and buyer's market share, but you can read the details on page 46 of their "Guidelines on Vertical Restraints".[0]

I'm not suggesting that a company should be required to take a positive action to fulfil Apple's requirements, but if a company is producing a file which can be installed via an app store, they should not try using copyright or contract law to prevent other app stores from also selling/distributing their app.

(Admittedly there would have to be some amount of paperwork for allowing the various app stores to pay money into the app developer's account, but that could be done on Apple's side so that the developer continues to get a payment each month, with some stats on a dashboard somewhere showing which app stores the app was sold through).

A noro or rotavirus ripped through my 2 years olds daycare recently, and in a couple classrooms (including my kid), tons of kids got sick as well as teachers, but did not hear of any hospitalizations.

The first evening was brutal though. 6 hours of drink, vomit, eat, vomit, drink, vomit, etc. My kid easily threw up 20+ times.

I don't know about that exact rule (most of my clients are not German). Honestly in my experience of living here and freelancing on this visa a lot of these requirements seem to be up to the discretion of the person doing the interview / checking your documents.

3. personal capital on the part of the foreigner or a loan undertaking is available to realise the business idea.
So the claim is, that simultaneously: 1.) when you stop exercising, it does a lot for weight. 2.) If you start exercising, it does nothing for weight loss.
Biggest erk and put-off many in COBOL had with JSP was exception handling and with that - without using GOTO (which was banned for JSP hardcore mentalities) you would end up setting flags and having checks - adding a lot of processing into the code-base at a time that was still before the IBM PC was to come about. Even then, CPU's for large mainframes et all, and the cost of CPU cycles and storage, sure did have a far larger value than in later years.
Thanks! I know about the issue and couldn't figure out how to really solve it, yet. Still a beginner in web development. If anyone has a link/info. Let me know.
That was why I bought an Asus 1215B Netbook with GNU/Linux support out of the box, an Ubuntu distrubution actually.

First the wlan stopped working, because Canonical decided to replace the proprietary driver wih the open source one, however since it was still work in progress, dozen of us had to suck it up with LAN until the open source driver got feature parity.

Then my GPGPU experience got degraded from OpenGL 4.1/hardware video decoding to OpenGL 3.3 with the replacement of the AMD driver (fxgr) with the open source radeon one.

So in the end, it doesn't matter that much buying supposedly supported hardware.
The Sun also wobbles because of the planets. Primordial black holes are (depending on theory of creation and path in later life) smaller than stellar black holes, maybe far smaller, in the order of lunar mass or even particle magnitude mass. So the wobble from a PBH will be overshadowed by that of Jupiter and the other planets. The sun doing a wobble of more than 30AU (what you would expect for a 1 solar mass PBH somewhere past neptune) with respect to the galaxy would have been detected ages ago, even the parallax measurements of yore are precise enough for that. From that fact, the magnitude of disturbance in other planets' and TNOs' orbits and the absence of gravitational lensing observations, our PBH should be in the order of planetary masses.

What would you envision a "replacement" would do that systemd doesn't (or in a way that systemd doesn't)?

Per the Wikipedia entry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemd#Adoption), Debian, Gentoo, Slackware, Knoppix, Mint, and others will all run without it (ie you have a choice in your services management system, or systemd's not included at all)

What do you not like about systemd (if anything)?

Overall, I think the systemd way of managing boot sequence and services is at least equivalent to (if not superior than) the old init system (which was all I knew from the Red Hat world) or the BSD-style boot scripts (that Slackware uses)

There are other service/boot managers out there (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Init mentions launchd and runit among others)

The Asian longhorn beetle is one such pest that is thought to have come to the US through shipping containers and is one of the reasons for strict shipping regulations. I knew nothing of it until the forestry service came knocking on my door informing me of an infestation near where I live and asking permission to test my trees. I like my habitat the way it is, and I'd like it to continue to be healthy.
Very good point. My boys are 11 and 9, I can count 3 times I’ve gone in fully clothed with phone/wallet in pocket to pull them out of a pool after getting in trouble. For them, it was panicking when getting in over their head ( heh no pun intended). Panicking in deep water is bad news.

Edit: I distinctly remember one time being at a party surrounded by adults but the only one noticing the emergency. It’s like when a kid gets in trouble with water they become almost invisible… it’s very strange.
> Diet and exercise are almost identical.

What about everyday motions? At 50, I push myself gently up from my chair, while 25 year old coworkers leap up. They walk faster, they simply move with more energy through the day. Such things add up over the course of a day/week/month/year/decade.
It's hard to tell from your description how big the firm is. If on the meatier end then it's not unusual they'll have something in your wheelhouse. If boutique - then that's obviously a lot more concerning.

If it's the former and they're backing something with a super similar value prop then I would just be polite and upfront about the conflict of interest. They are no doubt smart people and, therefore, it's likely they will have anicipated your hesitancy already and will be primed with some form of response.

Maybe they're trying to fuck you here - but I would just play through and be transparent.
