I'm not sure what you're referring to by "valent phonemes." The standard treatment of a syllable, not only in English but cross-linguistically, is that a syllable is composed of an cluster of consonants at the beginning (the onset), a single "nucleus" phoneme that is most often a vowel or, somewhat less often, a sonorant consonant like 'r' or 'l', and another cluster of consonants at the end (the coda). The specific ways that syllables can be formed in a particular language are governed by the "phonotactical rules" of that language. These are rules like the English rule that an "ng" sound may only occur immediately after the nucleus, or like the Japanese rule that a coda may only be "n" or "" (the null coda).

Both the Capitol protest and antifa/BLM riots involved Democrat politicians shirking their sworn duty to provide security and policing.

The 2 people in charge of adding Capitol policing were the House Manager and Nancy Pelosi. Note Pelosi's Jan. 6 committee doesn't want to talk about that - she cherry-picked Republian members who wouldn't demand that.

Trump offered the National Guard to the Democrat cities that were burned, but mayors refused.

The antifa/BLM riots stopped just before the Presidential election, since the Democratic Party knew it was hurting their support.

Something I have been wondering is whether the Go bootstrap, wherein Go is itself built from Go 1.4, also needs to be updated so that Go bootstraps from Go 1.17 or 1.18.

The reason for this is the change in syntax for build conditionals. Go 1.17 being compatible with the old and new, but Go 1.18 will only be compatible with the new. By which point Go 1.18 will only use the new and Go 1.4 would no longer be able to build later versions of Go.

That's just...a very Paris rumor to circulate. :) Especially in the vicinity of Notre-Dame and the catacombs.

My Shakespeare and Co. anecdote: I visited them February 2020, just before the lockdowns (in fact, the Monday following my visit, the Louvre employees would go on strike due to COVID19). I was musing about whether or not their interior layout is intentional or accidental. It seemed to me it was a maze of nooks to just rest, read, or just marvel and soak in the ambiance. It's a cozy experience you don't have to pay for to just sit on a couch, browse a book, or observe people in there.

(I did end up buying two books, because how could I not! You can get it stamped with the store logo on the cashier so you can show it off to other bibliophiles.)

If you ever find yourself overwhelmed doing tourist-y things in Paris, find Shakespeare and Co. There is/was also a nice cafe outside, you can try out.

Well indeed, but the hyperlinks here are just surfacing the coupling that already exists between those services. Making explicit an already implicit coupling.

Two other points:
- you can use HATEOAS to let one microservice discover the links it needs from another, exactly as a client would do.

- by not using hyperlinks you have not solved the problem, you’ve just moved the requirement to know the URL structure from another microservice (that you control) to dozens or hundreds of clients, that you likely don’t control. This makes your services much more brittle, not less.
While I'm sure you're correct, does that make the comparison any less useful and informative?

Haha, you must be blind. Nowhere in the article did they say that. I quote: "we believe there are fundamental problems with gold, oil, and the U.S. dollar as stores of value going forward". Then they go on to explain how the dollar is mismanaged.

Can we coin the word spy-tech and go on with our day?

I read a post here about when radioactive toys were popular, back in the early 1900s. Radioactivity fell so much out of grace, that these days we prefer to die of global warming than to use nuclear power.

In a similar vein, a world where most people go back to pen and paper and watching public TV on bootlegged devices so that they can (try to) escape continuous surveillance by electronic devices is conceivable. Give it enough time and grisly precedents, and companies like Apple and Samsung will only be able to sell new devices to corporate customers.

[Supabase cofounder]

Both are really great options, and probably you'd choose Appwrite for NoSQL and Supabase for Relational. We're an open source firebase alternative, but it might be simpler to think of us as an easy way to use Postgres.

- We are also self hosted [0], or we have a hosted platform with a free tier

- We give a full Postgres database - no abstractions. You create security rules using Postgres Row Level Security [1], have access to sql functions and triggers, a full gamut of Postgres extensions [2], views, roles etc. We provide a few additional services that you typically need when building a product - http API (PostgREST), connection pooling (pgbouncer), object storage, authentication + user management, dashboards, reports, etc.

- Our reads/writes are >300% faster than Firebase on our free tier [3]. This is mostly because of the performance of Postgres.

- For community, we also have discord [4] or GitHub discussions [5], depending on your preference

Maybe not, but as someone in the VFX/CG industry where Python 3 is only just being moved to this year (still on 2.7 mostly) because we didn't really need unicode, getting rid of the GIL in 3.0 would have very likely made us jump to Python 3 almost instantly years ago.

> What's exciting is that it is the first digital, global money that isn't protected by the proof of violence of the state.

You say this as if it was a good thing. But is it? Look at it from the other direction: it's a tremendous optimization. Imagine a world of Bitcoin, where someone comes and proposes: "Look, we can all keep spending almost all of the world's energy production on scaling basic trade, or... we can just agree that I'll beat up anyone not playing ball, and we can put all that energy to productive use - like farming, medicine, construction, entertainment, science". Does it sound like a bad deal now?

Also, the only reason there isn't much threats of violence[0] associated with Bitcoin yet is because cryptocurrencies are tiny. Barely anyone in the real economy cares about crypto[1]. If, by some scary miracle of a trickster god, the economy starts caring for real, cryptocurrencies will get quickly integrated into the mainstream by regulatory means - and regulations are backed by proof of violence. And almost everyone will want that, too, because people will be tired of getting robbed or cheated out of their money. You can't correct an act of violence without another act of violence[2].

(It's not even that hard to rein in Bitcoin. All it would take is for the US govt to announce which chain is considered legitimate by them for the purpose of paying taxes, and that the rest is considered counterfeit money.)

--

[0] - Criminal activity notwithstanding.

[1] - No, noises made by large banks about running their own blockchains isn't caring - it's just exploring new potential areas of growth and profit.

[2] - At least if we generalize "violence" enough, to encompass credible threats of violence. If me stealing your money at gunpoint is an act of violence, then so is the court ordering me to give it back under threat of forcing me into prison.
> How does the customer microservice (that wants to be hypermediaful), generate a deep link into the order microservice, e.g perhaps to obtain the latest order for a customer?

In short, you're asking how to implement service discovery.

Also, in REST there is no such thing as a "deep link". There are only resources, and links to said resources. HATEOAS returns responses that represent application state by providing links to related resources, and that's pretty much all there is to it.

This is nice article but every engineer would say this is oversimplification for simple usecases like status LEDs on router. LEDs are tricky to make behave predictably as they are non-linear components, sensitive to temperature and no two LEDs are made the same. This really shows when connected in parallel.
Also different colors of LED have different efficiency.

These issues are more prevalent if you're trying to make high-power LED circuits or some RGB circuit with accurate representation of colors.

Always thought LEDs are my friend but they made me lose some hair in last years.

The Reddit apparent algorithms I experienced create a very biased content proposal: browsing its content with an account has the effect of increasing restrictions in the offer instead of its expansion.

Not only that: it seems to decide your affiliations with the dumbest prejudice.)

The interesting content is still there, but it is hidden under SEOed content. It is simply not as popular in relative terms.

Most of the popular content you see on FB or other aggregators are simply "preview"s to get your money. A "thoughtful" article that just mentions half-way through a book you should buy. A blogpost on some technical matter that just mentions they are looking for new hires. A funny video to get you to see ads. And so on, and so forth.

It is still possible to find interesting communities, like HN, but you should probably dig around the niche that you enjoy. Discord has some good servers. IRC is still around. It all depends on what you are interested in.

TLDR of my understanding:

What python commitee considered as infeasible was almost done by a lone hero. Since the previous decision to change the format of the print function (that no one asked for) broke everybody's code for no reason and took ten years to be adopted, they will not push (for the one change everyone wants) for the foreseable future. Although it does not seem to be that impossible after all.

I am glad they will invite Sam, the lone gero we needed and hope he will be given some ownership of the task and not get him swamped with commiteeisms through a embrace, not extend and extinguish. He is on a success path, the commitee is in no path at all.

Just put a timeline and call it a fail if don't succeed and quit avoiding it through "discussions". We got it, it's not planned for the X.XX+1 version, each version.
Yeah I was wondering that too. If you worked a four day week & took 12 weeks holidays a year, that's still over $250k annually.
Same. The Ubuntu long term support releases are quite conservative.

I did find the Unity interface more polished however.

It seemed like Canonical did a lot of UX research, to make things like the "power off" button adjoin the corner of the screen, so you could imprecisely flick the cursor and know it has hit the target. It also worked a lot better under old hardware.

I still use Unity with community support. It's a shame, I think as I remembered seeing the Unity interface at work sometimes and thinking that Ubuntu was making inroads.

I was going to offer the same advice (and generalize it to anyone who writes big books, whether its the count of monte cristo or modern sci-fi epics) people who write long books, and therefore people who read them, generally aren't in it for the destination, but the journey.

Having said that, there are some authors mentioned in this thread that didnt immediately click with me that are now my favorites. There's usually at least one (relatively) short book that should give you an entryway to try them out, without the full commitment.
The best investment is to buy something that is undervalued. That also means you have to see value where others won't.
As the other commenter said, this seems to only be for very short range communication. The article itself compares it primarily to RFID.

It doesn't. The comparison is useful and informative - in pointing out ways in which Bitcoin doesn't, and can't ever, deliver on its promise. At best, if it were ever integrated into serious economy, it would just present an extra layer of indirection and complexity in a system working the same way otherwise.
My girlfriend is a neurologist and I'm a software engineer. While both of our professions tend to marry within their communities, we got together because of a shared interest in brains. My day job involves artificial neural networks, so there's a lot of matches there.

One thing that is particularly nice is that I can discuss my work with her and vice versa, so she's actually been really helpful with answering some tough questions, it makes for an interesting dynamic.

Oh, and she earns twice what I do, it's crazy how much money neurologists make.
I'm also curious what percentage of people married to people in their career field is due to meeting on the job. Are you more likely to marry someone in your profession? Or is "working together" just a very common way to meet your spouse?
"..today it would not be at all surprising to find that an engineering team has built a backend using REST even though the backend only talks to clients that the engineering team has full control over."

This bit is particularly important to me personally because I have been that guy in the past. As a new grad fresh out of college, someone taught me REST and I was.. impressed. I thought it was the only way to design web backends. It was my hammer and everything else I saw was a nail.

A few years on, I can look back and understand how stupid I was.

> About the only thing that REST over HTTP doesn't provide is sessions, but JWTs and OAuth now handle most of that.

I would disagree. HTTP with REST is half a communications protocol. The server can't push data. There are hacks around this but it's not REST as defined by the dissertation. HTTP and REST took sockets and lobotomized them. They work well where you don't need duplex communication but the tragedy is that they have been forced into solutions where they don't fit because lowest common denominator. Think of how much simpler and more flexible a world we would live in if every web server behaved similarly to a message broker, for example. (GraphQL does this, so there is hope).

Probably because if you aren't paying that much attention to Lisp software, the almost 40 years of writing about Common Lisp will surface more so than the code and their authors. And a lot of code (millions of lines) isn't open and a lot is probably lost to time. Though it seems like you know about a handful of the current era superstars, yet you're forgetting or don't know about other superstars. And there's a long tail of less prolific developers. But sure, just comparing the open source stuff in Quicklisp, there's only about 2500 projects (vs 335k projects on PyPI), and the frequency of new stuff regardless of whether it shows up or not in quicklisp is slow enough that you could follow https://twitter.com/NewLispRepos/ and not have your timeline overwhelmed.
