This totally solves something I don't want to have to build at this stage! I hacked together a garbage API key system that has nothing to do with my platform's core competencies.

Your offering is so full of useful functionality, too. Reports, metering, ... so much good. I could totally see this becoming a Twilio or Stripe for APIs.

Really, really awesome. Congrats! I'll be looking to sign up soon.

Edit: my platform is built in Rust and I don't expect you to have an SDK for that anytime soon (I'm off the beaten path). I'll see what your API looks like :)
Games are to be written, packaged and sold. Not continuously maintained to keep system compatibility. Apple philosophy of dragging developers into the future clawing and screaming is fundamentally incompatible with games. (64 bit transition, OpenGL deprecation, full screen mode changes, arm macs…)

> As for SAT, optimization, graph neural networks might end up being more effective

Learning from data is a different problem from optimization. For example, if facts about cities gave additional clues beyond their location about the optimal order, then learning could benefit in the travelling salesman problem. Or if the cost of paths is only known implicitly through data examples.

Compare to how NN:s can be used for data compression, for example upscaling images, by learning from photographs only the tiny the subset of all possible images that are meaningful to humans. But it is not useful for general data compression.
Great question: part of the scaffold will dissolve, part of it (edible materials) will be in the final product. The amount of it in the final product (basically the degradation kinetics) can be tuned depending on needs and desires
Russia’s Economic Blackout Will Change the World
Correct. And there is a reason, at 10% interest rate, the federal government is bankrupt.
While the energy usage of Proof-of-Stake systems like Bitcoin does seem embarrassingly excessive at first glance, I think there's more nuance here than it first may appear.

One of the problems with renewables is that they are spike-y and there's a limit to how much you can control the spike. When renewable sources peak, they can put more energy into the grid than the grid can safely handle (too much power can cause damage). Battery storage tech is currently lacking for dealing with this (though https://www.energyvault.com/ has an interesting take on this) and power degrades quickly when sent over power-lines, so that limits distribution over long distances.

In some scenarios, when energy becomes too plentiful, power companies may actually start charging negative costs - ie, they pay people to take more power out of the grid. When you combine these two factors, power producers have an economic incentive not to use renewables.

Enter Bitcoin - paying for power consumption is a huge component of operating costs. Mining rigs that are positioned near renewable power sources have an advantage in that they can just stop mining when energy prices get too high and start mining when energy prices are low enough. This provides a profitable way for miners and renewable power suppliers to operate together.

Deployed properly, Bitcoin mining actually improves the economics of renewables. Because doing so improves the profitability of mining, there is an economic incentive for miners to move toward renewables and build infrastructure that only mines when it is most profitable - ie, the times when not mining actually hurts renewable efforts.

NOTE: in theory non-cryptocurrency applications could serve this same role to make renewables more economical, but many applications have an always-on requirement; you can't run a data center only when the sun shines, but you can mine crypto only then.
Choice quote:

> When the researchers looked at normal signs of aging in the animals that had undergone the treatment, they found that the mice, in many ways, resembled younger animals. In both the kidneys and skin, the epigenetics of treated animals more closely resembled epigenetic patterns seen in younger animals. When injured, the skin cells of treated animals had a greater ability to proliferate and were less likely to form permanent scars—older animals usually show less skin cell proliferation and more scarring. Moreover, metabolic molecules in the blood of treated animals did not show normal age-related changes.

Nothing dramatic - you eat less of course but if you’re the kind of person that cooks bigger meals and then eats the leftovers you either need to adjust how much you cook or plan to throw more away. It also lets you plan your one meal better so you often end up choosing something healthier since you’re putting more thought into the meal.

Everyone has different times they prefer to eat but I found for myself eating between 2-4 pm was the ideal time for me to avoid getting hungry in the evening and still be able to work well in the morning.

It takes about 3-5 days to adjust your body hunger chemicals so you end up having to fight through a bit of hunger the first few days but after that it goes away.

One downside is the inconvenience that it sometimes puts on interactions with others who might like to enjoy meals with you at times that don’t sync with your schedule. It would probably not work as a lifestyle for a salesman who did business meals, for instance.

This is fundamentally not how power markets work. You offer to sell the grid power before it is produced - you have this backwards.

You sell it to anybody you want (some regulations aside). The grid operator makes it available to anybody who wants to plug into the grid. There are many regulations that make it such that anybody who wants to plug into the grid can do so as long as it’s not destabilizing, and even then, they’ll often work with you.

If you were an expert in energy markets, you’d see that you can go to an ISO and see which entities are market participants - of which utilities are just a few.

I could, and regularly do, sell some random company power that the grid / transmission operator HAVE to transport for me as long as I’m not physically destabilizing the grid by messing with frequencies, etc.

You also have the location of the power stations backwards. We choose to build power stations in an area because we see unmet or growing demand, not because some utility showed up and demanded we do it…

Pretty much all of your arguments so far are based on premises that simply aren’t true.

Who’s Gotten Their Copyright Back? (2021)
I have talked and worked with a lot developers thoughout quite a lot of years. Yet, I have never heard anyone complaining how learning a new language was hard - toolchain being inconvenient, framework being not well maintained and the like: very common. stackoverflow largely consist of entry level material.

I have had my fair share (100+) of interviewing developers too - hired people w/o any experience in a specific language and they have been productive in a short time frame - learning the environment and the business domain has always been the slow, laborious process, not switching to a different language (again - never had to use purely functional language for real - SQL doesn't count)

It was mentioned the "idiomatic use" - that's trivially caught in a code review/pair programming - you see it once, remember/understand and move on.
It's negligent to be an outlier, high or low, compared to other traffic speeds.

Aren't cough drops mostly sugar? Seems that would be a hindrance. As far as cigarettes, I understand there is a small amount of menthol in non-menthol cigarettes but is that enough to have an effect? Finally, I think part of the suppressant part is the length of time needed to smoke, it gets your mind off the immediate desire to eat -- versus a cough drop which typically lasts 15-30 seconds.
I actually hadn't compared the specs till you mentioned it. I think you're right, yes. The Ultra should be enough. Do you know if these new chips are only available in the Mac Studio or the Ultra and Max will show up in MBPs soon as well?
This isn't relevant in the case of broad increases in the macroeconomic supply of dollars, since they affect the supply/demand curves of everything in the economy simultaneously (albeit more at the source of injection as described by the article, e.g. stocks).

For example, you can't really "ramp up" production of burgers in response to higher dollar supply without ramping down the production of salads, unless there were people doing nothing to start with (which is why inflation is related to unemployment, to a degree). But by the same token, those dollars used to incentivize higher production can at best drive a short-term boost in production, as the costs to produce the burgers quickly rise as inflation propagates throughout the rest of their supply chain and the real value returns to where it was. Meanwhile, the expenses for everyone have increased and people who save money or don't want to hop jobs to get an inflation raise have been punished.
>> I got the impression that only the guy who originally wrote it understands the actual CAD stuff, and he doesn't work on it any more so the fundamental CAD operations are probably fixed now.

That was true for a few years, but I've got a pretty good handle on it, as does one of the other maintainers who implemented boolean intersection. I added the helix and revolve (vs lathe) groups, and have fixed a lot of bugs in triangulation and NURBS code.

>> The main issues I ran into were no bevels/fillets/drafts, and the fact that small circles become octagons.

The octagon issue is fixed - they become 16-gons minimum, and the chord tolerance can be lowered to get more edges. If you're exporting NURBS that doesn't really mater because the actual curves are exported in STEP.

As for the other features, I had been working on that here:

"Good information", almost synonymous with "truth", is not subjective. It is objective, observable fact. The fact that is a lot of disagreement, propaganda, and lies concerning that truth does not render it subjective.

Great to see a new option!

Apigee and Mulesoft went "enterprise." AWS API Gateway and GCP Endpoints kind of stagnated. Seems like the only option for small and medium-sized SaaS businesses that want to sell access to APIs is to roll their own or fully commit to RapidAPI. (Please let me know other options I am forgetting or not aware of!)

We currently "roll our own" using Kong, Auth0, and a Rails app. Not sure if we'd want to outsource all of those components. But will keep an eye on this option for the future, particularly for doing metered billing.

Is this why space electronics often use wire-wound connections? Maybe welding the contacts together instead of soldering?

I assume for the really critical components, you'd need to avoid solder completely.
Things like this where companies reinvent traditional payment processing “but with crypto” is the antithesis of what crypto used to stand for.

As a former believer in the original goal of private p2p digital cash, I am saddened by what crypto has become in practice.

Crypto is just centralized as the traditional financial system.

Oh and nobody actually uses it as a currency. I feel like I’m one of few who’s actually purchased goods/services.

We even need a prescription for repeat labs. So if my doctor is away for personal reasons for a month and I need to have my [thing that I get tested every month] checked, I can't without having to navigate the entire healthcare system to find a workaround.

I would be easy for me to interpret the results as my doctor is clear that [number] should not fall under [threshold]. It even comes back highlighted in red on the result sheet if it falls under that number. And I have clear instruction on what to do if that happens.

But nope.
That sounds like an issue. This initial version is made on Windows, and although the commands are all unix-compatible, the unix file-permissions have slipped past, as on Windows docker runs as the current user.

Would this be easy to fix? Like, determining the current user id, and setting it when launching the command? Or would the host uid need to be mapped to the docker uid, which might be different for each image?
If I recall correctly, they started with doing a screen overlay, and migrated to using the hardware gamma tables (I think I might have pointed them to it?). Android apps that do screen dimming use overlays, which ends up causing flickering.

To me dark mode makes eye strain worse. I much prefer a deep red tint on light mode than dark mode with no red. Also dark with red tint is quite difficult.

I feel like during the day most things are bright/cool with darkness as the contrast. Text on paper. Also as much as dark mode has become an option, it's impossible to go an entire day without experiencing a light theme and the switching of light to dark or dark to light for me is worse than whatever problems each theme has. Point being it's easier to only use light than only use dark.

Anyway dark mode without red tint isn't really helping with the blue light problem? Especially if the media you're looking at is mixed with e.g. images of daylight.

People can want a search engine that does stuff without running it through a Politburo filter. For a very long time that was the social norm in search engines. DDG marketed itself as "we follow the old norm, pick us and not the other bad guys." Now they are adopting the political censorship norm, contrary to their earlier marketing.

The problem with the hyperfocus is that it's kind of hard to control when it hits. My medication helps me focus on things I actually need to do instead of just bouncing between distractions and not making progress at anything.

I deal with the appetite suppression pretty well since I'm used to fasting anyway, and while it does raise my tension slightly, I've noticed that as long as I don't drink too much caffeine while on meds, it's fine.
Sounds like a scam
This would not be a problem if all SEO spam was treated the same. But in this case DDG would only consider disinformation coming from one side as "SEO spam" thus making a political stance and not a search quality stance, which would consider all disinformation equally (leaving aside the question how would DDG even be able to tell what is disinformation in the first place)

I mean, this is some really low hanging fruit and I don't really expect a lot of shocking revelations to come from this.

Censorship? In Russia? Why, I never.

And it's just, OK now for us to be releasing stolen files from foreign governments ? We are not at war with Russia (yet).

I'm not really onboard with this kind of thing. Flip the switch and imagine some Russian hackers doing it to your country, you would be annoyed.

(I'm not pro-russian or anything; fuck Putin and the horse he rode in on -- I just think this is largely pointless, some script kiddie trying to show how j33t he is, and will just escalate things further for zero gain.)
That’s a complete derailment. This is about the experience that search users should have. If they want to search for “russia official statements ukraine” then they should get results about that.

The fact that Russia has decided to outlaw the truth is completely besides the point.
Ah yes, MAP-21. It passed a requirement that all electronic toll systems become interoperable by 2016, but without any penalty for failure or money inducements to succeed, so nothing happened.

Well, that's not quite true. There are a couple of major consortia of electronic toll systems in the US. The largest consortium is the E-ZPass system, which started out with a cooperation in the NYC area and grew to encompass basically everything from Illinois to Virginia to Maine by the time MAP-21 passed. Since it was the largest, in terms of number of systems implemented, their position was more or less that everyone would implement compatibility with E-ZPass. North Carolina, Minnesota, Florida (and I believe Kentucky) added compatibility to E-ZPass post-2012.

The other three consortia are California (interoperable with no one else, because California I guess), the Texas/Oklahoma/Kansas group, and the Georgia/North Carolina/Florida interoperability region (which will be fully subsumed by E-ZPass once Georgia's system becomes interoperable, apparently later this year). There's still a couple of systems that interoperate with nobody else as well.
Alternatives? like you are really longing for lies?
I think most people surprised at the PostgreSQL model of databases and schemas are coming from a MySQL/MariaDB background where the terms are synonymous. PostgreSQL matches the model of basically every non-MySQL database when it comes to these concepts.

Propaganda can be useful to analyze, yes. But only if you know that it's propaganda. Most people casually searching DDG are probably not aware of that. If you know enough to know that some news source is spreading propaganda and you want to study it, then you know enough to be able to access it directly. Propaganda wants to be found, and you can always just go to RT yourself.

Propaganda should be treated as a hazardous material. Yes, it can be studied, and there is value in studying it, but there are safety protocols that should be followed to protect yourself and others. Uranium is very useful and scientifically valuable, but it shouldn't be on the shelves at your local Walmart where people can stumble upon it, unaware of the dangers.

Propaganda is an infohazard and should be treated as such; an information retrieval service should not surface it readily for a casual search.
I think there is something to that. Educated elites feel as if they have transcended the nation state and may feel this is the superior take and ironically this can veer on a kind of bigotry.
