As people grow into maturity and are taught the minimal slivers of history they're required to know, it all comes off as so dry, just names and a condensed series of reforms. Then they form their models of the universe on that.

What's lost is the irrational, the continuum of grit, the human condition, and then bizarre that's always been normal. And with that, here's an illustrated recording of president LBJ ordering pants: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR_myjOr0OU
I'm not sure what you're asking. I was pointing out that if you need to enforce a return result that will have either a value or an error, you can simple write a struct/interface that does that.

Like, you can create an interface that's read only for the return result like:

interface ReadableResult {
HasResult() bool
Result() whatever
Error() error
}

Then to create the result you have a writable interface for setting values, and enforce the 'only one of the two' semantics from the setters:

interface WritableResult {
SetResult(whatever)
SetError(error)
}

Struct MyResult{
err error
result whatever
}

.... Implementation here.

It's extra code, but it should be a rare necessity, at least in my experience. Res, err := getResult() always worked fine for me.

Notes on ConstitutionDAO
I have no affiliation, nor a recommendation. Just noticed that they do provide that service.

Using any hosting provider is ultimately a risk compared to hosting yourself, that's the price you pay for not having the know-how to host it yourself.

And even if you do selfhost, cloudflare may wake up one day and say "nah".
It's interesting though how much more robust the library ecosystem has become after Typescript attracted a new crowd that wouldn't haven otherwise gone near JavaScript with a ten foot pole..

Maybe with the new developments in Ruby ecosystem somebody will fix Net::Http so an absolute request timeout can be set to protect against slow client/server and maybe oversized payloads as well. Maybe 2030?
Now adjust for risk based on population age differences and see how the difference between states looks.
I have a 2017 Model X that I bought new. The EV part is great, its everything else that sucks. Since I've had it, I've taken it for service for the following:

o Arrived w/o Tow pkg (Tesla "forgot" it, was installed via service center appt)

o falcon wing doors improperly adjusted, leading to wind noise and water intrusion

o Loud wind noise and fogging passenger side windows: Due to improperly installed "triangle" window on passenger door

o Worn half shafts caused shudder under acceleration, replaced at ~20k miles

o fogging drivers side A pillar camera after rain, leading to "navigate on autopilot unavailable"

o Drove in "low" mode to preserve half shafts, caused excessive tire wear. Wore inner rear tires down to a puncture around 30k miles. Replaced tires and had car re-aligned to run in "low" mode.

o Half shafts replaced again at 38k miles

o Upper control arms shot around 39k miles, car out of warranty, and Tesla wants $1k to fix.

All in all, I'm thinking to get a different car since I need a car that works. I don't want a non-Tesla EV since the charging options for non-Tesla EVs suck. I'm currently looking at PHEVs.

Yeah, definitely. A "X has read this and claims it is safe to use" certificate would be a huge boon in a lot of cases, and is automation-friendly. Then you could pick reviewers you trust, and find (or exclusively use) packages that are covered by them.

The quoted Reuters piece references reliability, not instability.

I mean, that depends. Equipment costs are certainly investments, and things like cooking utensils can be handed down...

But if you're a software developer like OP, then you need a computer. You probably want a second (or third) monitor. The computer probably needs to be replaced every few years, and you're probably getting a relatively expensive machine.

Add to that an office - desk, good chair, etc. If you're trying to save money, yeah, you might not be getting a fancy expensive chair. But if you have the money to spend, I'd argue it's still a good investment for your back. Etc.

Now you can consider all of these as investments, but then how much you make as a contractor has to take that into account.

(Btw, didn't get into this, but the article is missing a lot of things you need to think about as a contractor, e.g. there's often downtime between projects, sick days, insurance is usually a good idea, etc. I've been doing this kind of thing for basically 10 years, it's not as simple as OP makes it sound.)
Most banks use HSMs to store secrets. This isn’t novel… if you buy an HSM, the manuals describe a less dramatic version of this process. Cloud providers offer them as a service as well.

The inclusion of NSA stuff got my eyes rolling. If you’re worried about NSA implants, you probably should be thinking about the provenance of the HSM, smart cards, etc.

Well that's the thing, there's a lot of stuff illegal in Singapore :)
unsafePerformIO exists, though. I suppose Safe Haskell might provide what you want, but (as someone mentioned elsewhere), the point of evaluating a pure function is to use its result somehow; a pure function that is supposed to look up a bitcoin address in a Map, but is changed to always return a constant one, could be just as bad of a backdoor.

You post seemed to argue that Dask is fine is you stick to relatively small data that fits on a single node then switch to pandas. You also noted that this is what Dask recommends. Implication being that I ran into issues because I didn't use Dask "the right way."

I don't see how you can argue both that and that dask distributed is production ready at the same time.

I've been in big data for 15 years and was probably one of the first few thousand production hadoop users. If you think "a big company used a big data tech so it's production ready" is an argument then I've got a few bridges to sell you. A lot of companies use a lot of technologies that they spend a lot of time beating into a shape where for their specific use cases they work just well enough to not get them all fired.
Exactly. And raising awareness of use of these less-than-palatable practices tends to lead to a constant pressure to only use them when strictly necessary, generally leading things to a broadly safer end state.

(edit: sorry, I removed the chunk about cargo-geiger: https://crates.io/crates/cargo-geiger . tl;dr showing something like that everywhere by default would likely encourage fewer unsafe uses (ideally zero), which would usually be a good thing - there's a lot of flawed unsafe use out there. that's part of why it's unsafe.)
The original technology is properly lithium-nickel dioxide. Elements such as manganese, cobalt and aluminum appear as minor constituents. Both Li-NiO2 and Li-FePO4 are based on conduction of lithium ions in the electrolyte ("Lead-acid" would be sulfate-ion by this naming convention; alkaline batteries are hydroxide-ion).

330,000 pages - I guess this seems reasonable. I mean, I don't think that there's any reason that the business/trade secrets really need protecting for something like this, but at least the FDA aren't just holding on to it all for that period of time.

What genre of fiction do you typically write? Anything publicly available?
Justice Department lawyers representing the FDA note in court papers that the plaintiffs are seeking a huge amount of vaccine-related material – about 329,000 pages.

The FDA proposes releasing 500 pages per month on a rolling basis, noting that the branch that would handle the review has only 10 employees and is currently processing about 400 other FOIA requests.

[Plaintiffs] argue that Title 21, subchapter F of the FDA’s own regulations stipulates that the agency “is to make ‘immediately available’ all documents underlying licensure of a vaccine."
Assuming that all 18,000 employees can actually do the work. Im sure some FDA employees are spread through out various states and have various different responsibilities like focusing on the 'F' in FDA. And those people might not be qualified to work on the processing of papers on vaccines and drugs. That also assumes that they don't overload pfizer and other drug makers with questions that they can't answer in a reasonable time to meet the proposed deadline.

40 million != 400 million, this is true but vote counting is an embarrassingly parallel problem that is easily solved by hiring many nonskilled workers.

I'm starting to get a sinking feeling in my gut that much of our modern society is a house of cards built out of people hoping nobody else notices they have no clue what they're doing.

I know competent people exist.. but how many are in the positions that really matter? How many of our intuitions are held aloft by loony-toons inertial, like a coyote who ran off a cliff and hasn't looked down yet?

read the second definition you linked
I unfortunately don't have an easily available reference really, it's all stuff I architected really myself. I can give a quick rundown though.

For the authentication side:

authentication, is simply connecting your wallet. Since each user has to have a wallet to interact with blockchain tech, that just simply means each user is the owner of their own private key. You can utilize this fact by connecting user's wallets. Once a user connects their wallet, you have proof of identity. If you need to verify it further, you can also have them sign a message and validate the signature on your backend.

I've been working with Solana, and some of the wallet providers I've been integrating with (specifically Phantom wallet) have very easy to use APIs that allow for requests to sign a message. It uses Ed25519 for signing, so it is an incredibly quick operation to verify that the signed message is a legitimate message signed by the wallet they claim to be. You can even add something like a timestamp or whatever to the message, to avoid static message signatures phished from other sites.

Once you have verified their identity by connecting their wallet, you can simply use these facts to retrieve whatever data they require.

On the authorization side:

I can really only use the example for my NFT project for authorization, but there are certainly many other ways to implement authorization. I have a service that I've created that I wanted to lock down to only be accessible to owners of a specific NFT. Since NFTs are essentially a proof of ownership concept natively, to provide access to my service I decided to implement the following:

1. Authenticate the user via connecting their wallet

2. Using the same signature method I mentioned above, sign a message, and verify the signature.

3. Once I have verified the user is who they claim to be, I check the token balance for the NFT that exists in their token account. Since NFTs are single issue, all I need to do is verify the user is holding the token they are attempting to use for accessing this service.

For example, if a user X is attempting to access the service for token Y, it's as simple as:

1. Verify the user is who they say they are

2. Verify the user holds the token they claim to be holding.

This is how I've been implementing authentication and authorization on my project. I think it's been really fun to architect this solution, we haven't gone live yet but I think that it'll work how I am expecting.

The loop size is all that matters. The thing that's being optimized is just:

for (int i = 0; i < loop_size; i++) {
some_work();
}

Whatever some_work may be you want to unroll the loop to avoid the jumps. It could be an operation like:

c[i] = a[i] + b[i]

In which case you'd do like you suggest. But it could also just be some repeated operation on an entire data set, like in a simulation where you want to run loop_size iterations.

Setting aside your assumption that using drugs like alcohol or weed is a vice, and setting aside your assumptions about China’s intentions, then you aren’t left with much to reply to.

You can find plenty of public information that documents relative levels of health impact from different drugs, so I’ll leave it to you to observe that I wasn’t making an assumption when I shared the fact that cannabis is generally considered to have less negative impact than alcohol.

>You spent two paragraphs arguing that FPTP voting systems are responsible for the stability of the US, Canada and Britain

I did not say that, I'm sorry that you got that impression. I am saying that political systems overall are simply much less important than many people, including anti-FPTP campaigners, believe. These examples were simply meant to illustrate the non-correlation between government structure & stability- I could just as easily point to how stable most European PR countries are, or how unstable FPTP users like Jamaica, Pakistan and Yemen can be. It's my belief that the US, Canada and Britain would be equally stable under PR. I am very much making an implicit statement about culture.

Fun fact, with a little more research I learned that both South Korea & Taiwan use FPTP for at least some parliamentary offices. Again, if the voting system makes such a huge difference....
I suppose it also attracts people that value such things.. Safety at the expense of individual liberties, orderly lives and streets etc.

I could never bear it myself. I'm from the Netherlands and I hate the way most areas there are so boring and designed by committee. I'm more attracted to cities where not every brick has to be the prescribed colour. It makes a place so much organic and interesting IMO. And I value individualism much more than an orderly society. I prefer the laissez-faire attitude in Spain over rigid policing.

This is why I'd never consider Singapore and choose to live in Spain. But this works both ways, I would imagine a lot of people live in Singapore precisely because things work that way there.

Of course not everyone has that choice but I'd say most people that are reasonably well-off do. And Singapore seems to be full of those :)
