You're right. The key thing is the spectrum of freedom induced by the library/framework. For example, if use something like PHP then you live in a prison of the request lifecycle. Sometimes the prison is socially enforced by not having shared state between requests within a process.

There is nothing special about websockets, but they do confer a freedom and responsibility.
Using Blazor (.net). It's been mostly a good experience. Fast UI updates, good programming model.
How is this not a threat in the EU or anywhere? Yes it's made worse by the litigious nature of the US, but that's beside the point IMO. The sender is clearly implicating that there will be consequences for not responding. Even if this is the law and the sender is within their rights, it's still a threat.

The entire thing is even worse because most of these websites were not under any obligation to reply but didn't know as much as they weren't experts in the law

In your view, what purpose does informing someone of a law related to their compliance serve?
One of the many reasons I won't upgrade to windows 11 anytime soon, you can't move the task bar. Vertical bar wastes far less valuable space.
Tax declarations are public information in e.g. Finland. You can easily find out what your neighbors or colleagues are earning. It's not causing many issues other than people having a better negotiation position when e.g. negotiating their salary with employers or having unions do so on their behalf.

In Albania, the interesting thing of course is that it is quite a bit less organized as a country and that it has a lot of issues with e.g. corruption, smuggling, etc. So the declared income only tells part of the story and it's all the off the book stuff that is really juicy and interesting. Corruption and tax dodging are highly private activities; just like other things you are not supposed to do. Only an issue if you have something to hide.

The right to graft, fraud, and theft are not protected by the UN declaration of human rights or most constitutions. Rather the contrary. But yet they are still widely spread in many countries. Transparency is one way to expose that.
No one wants to hear the truth, especially all the folks who benefit from a corrupt system.
I can't imagine any other purpose for citing a law that carries penalties for failure to respond while you invite a response.
As people said, they are simpler, less strict (what means you can get bad performance if you use them wrong), and just an abstraction over the very general concept of recursive context-dependent parsing.

There isn't much to cover about them, they are just very ergonomic. Even guaranteeing a good performance is covered on the theory of other types of parser, that is them trivial to replicate on them, but it's not about them.
For people without mentors or exposure to the craft, they often have no idea why or where to start. They don't even know enough to select a book to start with. Add to that the immense complexity they face just to get python or .net working.

When I started all I had to do was turn on the computer (booted to a BASIC interpreter), type a few lines, and hit F2.
Panacea is a strawman. If a little extra science education would relieve society of at least a few homeopaths, flat earthers, and free-energy kooks, maybe that's enough?
And they continued to use it in GD-ROM drives AFAIK.
Has anyone else thought about the risks of one or more national actors doing macro scale pump and dumps of cryptocurrencies combined with viral memes targeting populations of their adversaries tricking them into buying the top/selling the bottom?
reminding people that the trope “hurr durr christmas is just saturnalia” is english protestant agitprop that was cooked up during the reformation to stomp on the catholics a bit is, shall we say, regularly entertaining but rarely fruitful.

The world is not black and white, and I think you are missing the point.

While what you are saying is true to an extent, we can still decrease trust and replace it with verifiable and auditable mechanisms at the margins.

For example, the Fed currently states that they target a 2% annual inflation. Well, the US could just adopt a virtual currency, and hard code a 2% inflation amount that was verifiable in public code. Note that I’m not saying this contrived example is necessarily good or bad, but let’s just assume everyone agrees 2% inflation is good and hard coding a 2% money increase rate is equivalent and it’s not better to give the government flexibility. This change has the effect of reducing our need to trust that the government will act consistent with its messaging; we can prove it. And while the men with guns can always change the rules (and maybe they should in some scenarios), it’s easy to see when the rules are being changed, and it’s likely harder to do so if it’s not a good idea since there are structural forces that make it more difficult.

The US government is filled with mechanisms to reduce trust (eg checks and balances).

And the reduction of trust is not just a government point. Twitter grew by having a great public API which it then knee capped and harmed the developers who trusted them. Would it not be better to have a protocol incentive that you could more readily trust would not be changed under you? What if the Twitter API had a governance token where the indie developers had owned a large stake of such tokens?
That's a great point. However, in Slik's case, the data is first fragmented into small chunks and then distributed into a decentralized storage. Thus, for a bad actor to pose a problem, they'll also have to collect all the encrypted chunks, before making any sense out of it.
Any reason why this is the case? Chip shortages? Backing up of imports?

I just noticed this the other day when looking to get a Pi 4 as a gift for my brother. It's crazy to think just a year or two ago I bought two at normal price, and now one can't find any individual boards anywhere really
No, you didn't. pokepim either misread, jumped to conclusions, or just saw a chance to grind an axe that they were just itching to grind.

Same here! If a cyber attack happened in a way that this simulation explored, it would mean that people have been ignoring early warnings. That would be beyond stupid of those who could have prevented it.
It...doesn't? Sure, it gets into junk DNA, but there's only a brief mention that the genome has structure, and it's not examined in any depth. Notably, they never discuss enhancers or insulators, which I feel would really improve the article, even though I can't think of a good analogue (which might be even more interesting for the intended audience).
That seems acceptable. The Data plane failure is contained to an AZ. Control plane is often not.
A big thank you to the entire matrix team. You've tackled a big problem space and made great progress. Here's to a great 2021 and and even better 2022!
It was the videos that were reencoded. Textures didn't add up the same way.
Thanks for the offer! Will write bit more details later on when I have time, so briefly:

Maybe it is less about new/improved features, I strongly prefer a focused product over one that tries to fulfill everyones whims, but more about guidance on for example for a small team what you think is the “best” way for them to integrate render.com into their dev workflows with typical stacks. How to solve the most common needs and what kind of things are out of scope for render to solve and what could be used instead. For an opinionated tool, it could be a bit clearer, what its opinions are. I think lot the information is already there, but it is quite scattered around between docs, feature request pages and forums.
I've been watching this space for quite a long time and this company seems to have the engineering and backing to make it happen. From a safety perspective, this design has a potential for massive redundancy over several other designs being promoted out there.

Considering that their marketing is not to desperate, and their releases of footage is slow and stead, I predict that they are very confident in their designs.

If I had a few million to throw around, I would definitely be investing in this company.
Are they superior to firejail on linux? I kind of always figured they were similar level of "sandboxing" but I never had enough interest in BSD to dig in myself.
IME people rarely test and drill for the failovers, it's just a checkbox in a high level plan. Maybe they have a todo item for it somewhere but it never seems very important as AZ failures are usually quite rare. After ignoring the issue for a while it starts to seem risky to test for it, you might get an outage due to bugs it's likely to uncover.
Cool! I will give this a spin.
The mundane answer is that there's some stuff that I worry about optimizing and other stuff that I don't, and this little personal site is the latter ;).

To a lesser extent, I also didn't exactly expect this to hit frontpage, so I'd sort of assumed that the only people who would see it were people who already knew me.

I'm still not sure about the answer to that, but this has at least prompted me to give it a proper think and decide whether I want to try to appeal to "the world" or just stay focused on my own little orbit. No idea where I'll end up, but it's an interesting question, and I appreciate you giving me the nudge to take it seriously.
This simply not true, or way blown out of proportion. I'm single, so I go out almost every weekend (West LA): plenty of people flirting, making out, touching, dancing, etc. Dating apps are a complete waste of time when compared to meeting people in real life.
We can take an educated guess :

The quantum phenomena for calculations require strictly limited interactions as otherwise you just get decoherence. Quantum computations inside of our brain cells are unlikely because it's relatively very hot, having random interactions which would disrupt quantum phenomena.
I met with some SF city officials a few years ago to discuss a program that our company was going to run for the city. I've never interacted with a less competent group of people, and we withdrew our proposal simply because we were scared of being affiliated with them in any shape or form. Looking back on what happened to the city since then, it all makes sense.

I wonder if the full transparency you're talking about is a part of how the city managed to attract and retain such talent pool. I know that for all of my career I've been worker harder than my peers and have also been compensated accordingly. If someone told me "oh no, [person who I know is less productive] has the same title as you and he never comes late to work, so you can't make more than him," that for sure would have been our last conversation at work.

I don't know why most companies don't want to disclose salaries, but every startup I've led did that in order to pay more, not less. You basically look for the most exceptional talent in the world, and then you pay them every last penny you can afford. Same with retention - you want to promote people based on what the market would pay for them, regardless if your current org structure allows for a title promotion (you can only have one senior leader per department at any given time). If I had to disclose everyone's salary, that would only lead to more constraints with being generous on my end, not less.
In many areas, physical education and health education are combined. It is possible for an understanding of health to compensate for physical performance. The metrics for evaluation of physical performance can also be considered. Understanding and demonstrating technique may be a better metric in an educational setting where the rate of physical development is varied (especially in the middle grades). It may also be a better metric overall. Consider a coach: their goal is to help others to achieve their best, that does not imply that they are the best.
Statistical approaches require you to most commonly use a threshold. Sometimes the model output can be above the threshold and still wrong, and below the threshold and correct. You can never tell for sure, but just try to improve the benchmark average. This is not acceptable in most use cases where the wrong outcome of a single output can be disastrous.

When a human does not know something it can tell that with 100% certainty.
I am willing to try any alternative to JQ, my main stumbling block being the jq syntax.
I've read more than one response from people saying they are operating their website all by themselves and they definitely did not seem to be high traffic.
It's more like 18 if you remove all the videos and images and various other cruft.
It depends. There is always an increased demand for memory (which can impact the whole hierarchy) but other than that it shouldn't be bad. And I think the point is that compared to interface{}, generics will almost always win. And realistically, compared to hand-rolled, you'd need to hand-roll (or codegen, whatever) multiple implementations which, as machine code, would end up exactly the same as the generic implementation.

And what are we optimizing for anyway? Reading a bunch of code that uses an off-the-shelf library's Stack or Tree or whatever is always going to be easier to read than having to also have to inspect the three hand-rolled Tree implementations, two of which are probably buggy, in addition to the actual client code trying to use the tree to do real work. Or a library that implemented it using interface{} which is a big middle finger to the whole type system, completely discarding the compiler's ability to detect otherwise trivial mistakes.
Yes, but whether or not it’s explicitly stated doesn’t really change the law.

Ultimately I don’t really get the big deal. It takes 5 minutes to reply to this, and if you don’t unless you’re some huge organization no one is going to waste resources bringing you to court.

It’s not that they’re implying that it is illegal - it’s that it is.
This is why I lost interest in a career in accademia and set myself up in industry. I saw one too many situations like this where people assumed they'd be stopped by the institution if they took things too far and they were not.
This "Design Patterns for Parser Combinators" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwzX1XltOGY video (an the associated pdf https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3471874.3472984) explains some techniques that are good to know—how to deal with left recursion, for example.

It's also notable for being a continuous integration-driven talk!
Touch-consent is as easy to do as asking a question. Not really sure what the big deal is.
This is an interesting idea.

I am now curious if there is a formalization of this idea of variable value which seems to be a function of some kind of friction/work requirement. And I imagine is a function of scale relative to the context.

What I mean is, if you're an auction house or a major museum, with an operating budget in the $100Ms or more, at some point it is at least cognitively simpler (if not prudent) to accept a certain amount of shrinkage/fraud/loss etc., which you might prevent with even minimal effort, because the minimal effort is too costly in some other way. Cognitively. Administratively. Whatever.

I remember learning from relatives who had worked in the FBI that their had been in their day thresholds for what level of check fraud merited investigation. Below a certain level it was not a good use of limited resources to waste time chasing it.

This has an interesting follow-on effect, that it was worth consistent effort to obscure that actuality and promote belief in a much more comprehensively aware and interested (and competent) FBI than existed, because that was itself effective in discouraging a certain amount of crime. "Not worth the risk" is miscalculated when you overestimate the risk. And you have little ability to test the system.

I find this interesting because it is a reminder that e.g. value is not BS, exactly; but it's multidimensionally contingent and contextual. Which I guess you can see in other places all the time but this is an interesting angle.

Not least because it suggests where to look for rich veins of "arbitrage," the places you can exploit differences in relative value.

> I'm not familiar with Robinhood, but I think it's mostly about buying stocks.

Nope. You missed the point. It's about a company (or centralized entity) being in control of your money.

> Blockchains won't help you do this, at least not in a decentralized manner. You'll be stuck buying tokens

Blockchains and tokens are non-sense words. Bitcoin is a protocol and a network, the first blockchain. It is an open-ledger that facilitates value exchange between two willing participants (you don't have to take part if you don't want).

> it's been approved legally

Bitcoin is approved legally in the US, and has the world's smartest and most experienced money managers and hedge funds invested in it. Just a few names:
1. Stanley Druckenmiller
2. Ray Dalio
3. Geroge Soros
4. Paul Tudor Jones
5. Steve Cohen
6. Louis Bacon

What do you mean that their concept might not work at all? They have flown several iterations of their prototypes already but maybe you have something different in mind, e.g. doubts about the possibility to scale the concept up?

Those different APIs are usually wrapped by game engines like Unreal Engine or Unity. Porting a game to a new platform is almost always a business decision, and the actual porting cost is minimal compared to marketing and (customer) support cost.
There may be an element of survivorship bias. You hear about the ones where someone whines that they didn't fix it. When they fix it quickly, all you hear are the grumbles about yet another software update.
I have been using matrix for quite a while now, and managed to get the people I write the most with on it too!

Back then I rented matrix hosting with modular.im (now called ems) once I noticed that I did use Riot/Element on a daily basis, and the latency of matrix.org servers was too big for my taste, combined with the lack of online status display.

Now that dendrite is starting to finally mature, I will probably switch to hosting it myself to save some costs.

Main things stopping me are the possible headaches around domain names and federations: How hard is it to move to a different hoster once I have an instance running?

I read in the documentation that things can become problematic if I don't carefully backup parts of my dendrite matrix instance. What would happen if I (or rather my hosting provider) lose my files and have to setup my matrix instance from scratch, will my domain then remain blocked on the federation, even when I still have control over the domain?

It's not that I don't do backups, but I'm curious what would happen in a worst case scenario.
Reaching for the sabians is a bit of a stretch!

anyway, my point is that you and i think of “proof” from an implicit or explicit metaphysical background that simply did not exist in the first century.

Far more important to the authors of the constituent works that are now codified into bibles was an exploration of the nature of god, and what that should tell us about how to live well, simply given as an axiom that god exists (or, that god is that by which existence is itself able to be, but let’s not get too fancy!)

Genesis, for example, is not really concerned about “how” the world came to be; it is very, very concerned with grappling with what the right ways to participate in creation are.

Never forget that the boring approach of regular savings is a great reliable approach to reaching FIRE.

What I'd do first is max my tax-free savings account (a stocks & shares ISA in the UK). That's 20k a year. Assume that grows at the rate of the S&P 500 and you'll have just under 300k in 10 years, or 25k a year interest which covers your living expenses but doesn't take into account inflation (and assumes the market performs).

Now you have 15k left per year. Make sure that you're living life and not just saving away - spend some of this on hobbies and enjoy your time. Maybe you have 5k left after that, maybe 10k, who knows. Either way, depending on your risk appetite you can either invest the remaining amount into an ETF, save it as cash for a rainy day, buy individual shares, or go into crypto.

I have worked in crypto for several years now and I don't pretend I understand the market, it may as well be gambling, but if I was to give blanket advice I'd suggest following dollar-cost-averaging across as many coins as you can to get the best chance of success there.

All-in-all though, think about what you want to do when you retire. Is it to start a hobby? Spend time at the beach? Play video games? Work out why you want to retire early and see how you can improve your situation to allow yourself to do that now. It could be that freelancing half a year for 50-60k and spending half a year on your hobbies is better than living cash-strapped till 2031 so you can retire.

What I found most fascinating about the Dreamcast was the extensible utility of the VMU cartridge slotted beneath the controller in that it not only served as storage for saved game data but as a heads-down display for ongoing gameplay. It also had the capability of being a standalone unit for mini games with it's replaceable coin battery.

What's even more interesting is the modding community attempts in repurposing them and keeping the Dream alive.

I've done this before manually to convert an Arturia Minilab MkII into a wireless MIDI controller. Turns out there's enough space inside the Arturia to fit a Pi Zero W and a flat Lithium-Ion battery.

I can now use GarageBand on my iPad, MacBook and iPhone without always having to connect a USB-C hub or camera adapter.

It's worth noting that it's not the observer causing anything, but a "technical observation" i.e. any interaction with the macroscopic environment; the analogy of "observer" leads to a misleading implication that there's something special if an agent or conscious entity is doing the observation, which it is not.
