In Germany, at least last time i was there, a plastic bottle got you a full Euro back as a deposit. Aluminum a little less but still good. The result was you basically never saw a plastic bottle on the ground outside of tourist areas where people didn't know about the Pfand. And even there, the bottle doesn't stay on the ground for long because that's a whole euro there on the ground. Nobody throws away a whole euro, and just about every one will bend down to pick one up.

Unless your "ciphertext" includes a header saying "this data in encrypted with 512-bit AES-cbc"

Instead of auditing the code/file format, it may be less error prone to just re-encrypt the entire file thereby hiding any metadata that the encryption program attaches.
There’s no exploitation going on.
As others have pointed out this isn't practical on current hardware. However with quantum computers I've read that there are already algorithms which would make short work of it. What I'd be curious to know is whether the key length has any bearing on the speed of said algorithms.
Basically, this. Until Tor provides human-readable and -memorable addresses again, I'm considering it a deprecated project.

Police can't even catch terrorists before an attack despite getting warnings from foreign countries and having the suspects on a list.

>Rewriting a recursive Fibonacci function to use a loop with an explicit stack doesn't do anything about the growth of memory.

Sort of. It means the amount of memory you can use is much bigger, and not constrained by the stack size.
> So now I have two different black calls: in the pre-commit hook and in the CI/CD. And they must be of the same version.

What's the problem, exactly? I worked on projects which enforced precommit hooks running unit tests, and all the precommit and CICD test stages did was run the tests that were already in the repo.

Also, I don't understand what would be the problem of calling out-of-synch tests in precommit hooks and the CICD, given that precommit tests are used as a failsafe to not block the pipeline with broken commits.

> How popular is the practice of keeping Ganesha idol temporarily during Ganesha festival before dissolving it

Very popular.

> compared to the rest of India.

But not compared to the rest of India. This is how majority of worship is done.

In West Bengal (state where Kolkata/Calcutta is), there is Durga Puja, in Maharashtra (Mumbai) there is Ganesh puja.

Idols are made out of clay, then worshipped for a day (4 in case of Durga), then they are dissolved in water, preferably in the Ganges.

But environment laws and enforcement are getting stringent, and so the bigger statue is often not worshipped according to rituals, and a much, much smaller one is worshipped, and that is dissolved.

And mind you, these statues are no jokes. They are very carefully created by sculptors, some are work of higher art, and gets awarded by the President.

Indians are known to have many festivals. But there are different dominant festivals in different parts of India.

Moreover, not only statues, but elaborate decorations are created where the statue resides. There are some committees that spend US$100k-$200k for 1-5 days of the festival. These are now often corporate sponsored.

The total GDP of 4 days of Durga Puja in Calcutta is assumed to be US$4.2bn [0]. Although many holistic estimates (including parlor visits, etc. from one month before) put it at as high as $25-$30bn.

You could look at pictures [1][2][3] of these events, and I highly encourage you to do so.

Just note, whatever you see in those, are temporary, and kept for 5-15 days only.

Although these are religious in paper, they are practically secular.

I can't blame you for just skimming, but you've come away with a mistaken interpretation.

Yes, there are a ton of v3 onions created quite suddenly but they don't stick around for long and aren't associated with human people. The Tor project technical blog on v3 onion services suggests most of the v3 services are "barely used" and setup to merely act as slave services for a malicious botnet. https://blog.torproject.org/v3-onion-services-usage . Human people actually run websites (and other services) from v2 addresses and there are far more of them even now than actual human used v3 addresses if you can extrapolate anything from onion descriptor information in the hidden service directory.
I'm guessing their comment is from the view of the French being "cheese eating, surrender monkeys", a view not supported by France's long military history. This view was supported, for at least a few years, by a Google "I feel lucky" search for "French military victories" taking you to a Google search mockup site which suggested "Maybe you mean: French military surrenders".
I answer and talk to the scammer every time. I ask them why they do this for a living and generally try to make it psychologically hurt for the scammer. I've done this more than 50 times at least.

I would disagree, there was no one true way, there are a few ways to do a slect for example, like you can use ng-options or use ng-repat for a li. There is also a sure way to have developers created stupid code where the 2 ways bindings will fire changes into an infinite loop. As an example a simple dropdown could just be like

<DropDown dataProvider="someArray"/>

for a bit more complex stuff you have have attributes like

<DropDown dataProvider="someArray" labelField="name"/>

and for custom stuff you provide your own render function

<DropDown dataProvider="someArray" itemRendered="myRenderFunction"/>

With this architecture 99% of cases will not requiere custom code, just setting some attributes, and the 1% you create your function that paints the item in the list. For all you get for free all the DropDown functionality, like keyboard shortcuts(arrow keys, Enter) . accessibility, all the events(before open, open, opened, before close, closed, hover ) in angular world if you are not super lucky to get pro developers with good angular experience you get a giant mess. They added components much later , not sure what was in angular team head not creating the component stuff from the beginning (I inherited a code base before components were invented in angular)

Edit: maybe angular was better then jQuery or whatever stuff was there in JS world but my issue is the guys that created it appears that they never created desktop or mobile apps, is like soem Google devs in their free time invented this shit from scratch with ZERO experience in GUI toolits, in fact I am wondering how big is the ratio of quality code /total code Google devs are creating. I hope their Fushia team has some competent experienced developers in the team.

As of writing there is no disclosure of any particular license on their website for sublime text.

I must have overlooked this. While most of my programming is over ssh with vim, I’ve very much enjoyed Sublime on my own systems. Minimalism and unobtrusiveness has been very appealing to me. Free software is more important, though, so perhaps it’s back to vim, then.

I wish that the Xi editor was maintained more efficiently than it is.

Are you aware of good IDE’s besides vim and emacs? What do you use? I love vim but sometimes I just want something “friendlier” for a change.
Many TVs have DLNA, which you could use to play content off a NAS - if it ever worked properly. It's such an unloved standard.

> shining a light on the way that apps like Instagram and YouTube use algorithms that pick and choose what content to show us (and not show us) in order to keep us scrolling and clicking, to sell more ads. These dangerous algorithms use our own personal data to manipulate us

I think we should start somewhere more practical first. Did you know that Walmart designs their store layout and inventory to maximize purchases? They deviously use our own shopping patterns to manipulate us!! We need to stop retailers from being able to analyze what people are buying right now!

ok, so this is definitely hyperbole, but come on, the fact that Facebook builds its product such that they optimize for the chance that you want to spend time on their platform is not itself evil. If the same sort of simplistic logic had been driving policies back in the “video games are making kids I to violent criminals”-days, the narrative had been just “Evil game developers are making games entertaining in order to get kids to play them! We need to stop this!” And furthermore they would have won that political battle and video games would have been forever outlawed, because apparently the narrative that anything that causes a kid to look at a screen is inherently evil has becomes a given these days, and you don’t even need to argue for anymore you can just assume it.

Now don’t get me wrong, I think that stronger private data laws are a great thing, but you can’t just argue that companies using engagement data to optimize their services is itself evil. They are businesses, of cause they want the better product and of cause the better product is the one that provides what people want. We don’t want congress making it illegal for Walmart to stock more food during Christmas because they know from data that they sell more during Christmas. Now if walmart was asking to see your social security information during checkout, that would of cause be an issue, but that’s an entirely different thing.

It's a paid product with a team who need to earn a living wage. It's not like VS Code where the team is bankrolled by a big organisation making its money on other proprietary products.

In light of the above, it makes sense for it to be proprietary and closed source.

Were it open source, people could fork it and distribute it freely, with no remuneration going back to the developers. I doubt the developers could offer any other incentive such as support to make up the shortfall.

"Source available" licences where the user is prohibited from providing the software to others doesn't meet the FSF's definition of freedom, so even that wouldn't please everyone.
I personally like being able to connect to a bank online without criminals being able to hack the connection.
> How do you remove it? Not revoke it, but completely remove all traces of it?

You can't.

You can't really remove anything that has been made public. You can try but odds are there is a copy somewhere.

For bitcoin: if everyone was cooperating you could update the protocol to replace that block with a version that had the desired information removed, however this block and its replacement would require special verification because the normal rules will obviously fail (because the normal rules forbid change).
maybe out of nostalgia, I always have Sublime installed on my computer. nowadays if i need a draft for a copy/paste or need to annotate something fast I use Sublime, which is always running. it became something like my advanced notepad
I tried sublime this year now that it has an LSP (language server), along with the Go plugin. Maybe it would take more getting used to, but VSCode has done such a great job for coding in. Sublime's project view just wasn't as good either.

I really still like sublime for editing text or log files on my dev system, but not for development.

> Because $25 of electronics to read a $1 paper strip makes perfect sense in today's world I guess

This makes sense, because you can calibrate the sensor in the factory and not worry about "is that a faint line I am seeing? Do faint lines count?" situation anymore. Converting continuous data to a simple yes/no output has value.

> As does not making the strip a replaceable consumable part.

This may or may not make sense based on the requirements for maintaining calibration. I am not sure about this.

240kmph is where the gearing ends on a 740 iirc. The biggest engine is a 2.3l turbo that makes 170 hp stock. however, very little work goes into getting it to 300hp. Upgraded turbo, clutch, injectors and an off the shelf chip tune that you simply slot in. Past 300hp and you're looking at beefier rods and most definitely transmission upgrade or a non existent third gear.
> in angular world if you are not super lucky to get pro developers with good angular experience you get a giant mess

True, but you only needed one good Angular dev, in a senior or lead role, to avoid that. I had the enormous privilege of getting to be that person a few years back, and maybe that colors my interpretation a little.

> They added components much later , not sure what was in angular team head not creating the component stuff from the beginning

My impression is that Angular 2 grew components largely in response to and because of React. The concept wasn't precisely new, but React did formulate it in a way that can be fairly called novel.

I don't agree with the GP either but your understanding of what it means to be a "psychopath" is even less correct. Psychopaths are highly impulsive and emotionally volatile. They would be far more likely to lash out in situations where they feel slighted than normal people would be.

There's this tendency (both among self-described high-functioning psychopaths and in the media) for people to think that psychopaths are highly rational and less emotional, but it's closer to the opposite - psychopaths are impulsively driven by the present emotions.

The main sense in which they are less emotional is that they react less emotionally than normal people to how other people feel and how they themselves would feel in the future. Because empathy generally acts as a check on your present impulses in most humans, this leads to more emotional, impulsive behavior, not less.
