Personally, I'd have a hard time accepting this sort of offering. What if your setup is more complex than what you're describing? What if you don't accept my solution? I might end up embarking in a stressful multi hour / day rabbit hole for a fixed price.

More generally, I wouldn't be keen at accepting to support random internet strangers whose environment and reputation I know little about.

I think the real challenge is finding the right set of incentives for both parties* to accept the risks for this
type of service.

*Likewise, you would be risking being played by a random internet conman
I would need some explanation of what consciousness is, for starters. Even better would be an explanation of how I might test whether any thing (including myself or another person) has it.
My biggest use is for configuring database connections. Create something like `FOODATABASE=postgres://user:password@server:port/name` and then whenever I am inside the project, I source the FOODATABASE environment variable wherever it is needed. Another convenience pattern I use with Django is to have a PROJECT_IS_DEBUG key -iff variable is defined, enable extra tracing functionality without requiring any development specific configuration files.

Example server pattern to default to production:

if "PROJECT_IS_DEBUG" in os.environ:
DEBUG = True
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ["*"]
else:
# production configuration by default

All for a one-time configuration setup. A further boon of this workflow is that systemd natively supports an EnvironmentFile configuration, so you can re-use the same configuration format from development to production.
I made a tool back in college called “line” for outputting ranges of line or column numbers.

I got tired of piping head into tail and found it simpler.

Examples:

line file.txt 5 to 9

cat file.txt | line —column 4 to 20

I thought “line” was very Unix sounding and kinda cute, but like a lot of these projects would never make its way into the gnu utils so I thought what’s the point. That and of course to a beginner Awk user, those kind of operations are child’s play. I thought about csv and printing lines between matching words, but it’s all about KISS.
Freenet is technically safe. It doesn't allow JavaScript, unlike onion sites.
Why couldn't anyone on Spears' team come in and smooth out that idiosyncrasy? If someone writes gibberish for lyrics, do singers just go ahead and sing gibberish?
Probably have to terminate the fiber before the valve, put a port in to get it out, jump the valve, and then start again in the pipe after it. However once you're inside the house and about to hit the main valve they'd probably just pull the fiber out and put in the box to turn it into a network connection.
I believe you’re limited to 3 apps this way, as well as being limited to 10 App IDs (most popular apps will include multiple App IDs for things like extensions, widgets, etc).

If you have the $99/yr Apple Developer account that the user mentioned, those restrictions don’t apply.
> I've learned and then observed that critics evaluate primarily the cinematic quality of a film, i.e. does the film as a piece of art work as a whole when considering acting, directing, screenwriting... This is generally a different axis from entertainment which is what people often care about when looking for something to see.

IME and IMHO, the former has a great effect on the latter; that's why people, including critics, care about it. The qualities are what make the movie engaging, moving, exciting, etc. In UX, users may not understand how it is done but the UX design still impacts them significantly; UX designers can tell you what is making that impact and how.
My understanding was some what different and also came from comments made here: apple made both connectors and offered the worse one (type-c) to the USB Forum. Because it was reversible, smaller than usb-A and overall a better design vs usb-A they took it, but lightning is the superior connection.
Your argument relies on an assumption. You make the assumption that my employer exploits me. They don’t. Perhaps Amazon exploits some of their workers (local drivers, warehouse workers, but tech…hardly). I’d argue that in 2022 with US labor laws…most workers aren’t exploited. Some think they are—some perhaps politically think this soft Marxism you are alluding to is a good thing.

So what we have again is a situation where a consumer like me is not in the position of a unionizing Amazon worker so we can’t identify with their labor situation. I don’t have a dogmatic political stance on them unionizing. In their current non-unionized work situation, I’m content to be a customer. In a unionized situation, I’m content to be a customer as long as the product they provide meets my needs. I don’t have a dog in their fight, so there is zero need to me to stop using a product I want to be in solidarity with them.
Git itself removing an ability should tell you that it's a big deal even more than "one of the biggest git users on the planet".

Perhaps the proper programming term might be co-ETL or co-data-lake? (Where we use 'co' in the same sense as eg http://blog.ezyang.com/2012/10/duality-for-haskellers/ )
I think that was one of Plan9's selling points.
Well, it does seem like that system would benefit from plenty of fiber to ensure regular data flow.
This is a really great summation of BBEdit's appeal -- and also a really great summation of why it won't work for many folks. BBEdit is fairly easy to script and customize, but it's not extensible in the "add entirely new UX" fashion that Vim, Emacs, and VS Code are.
Oh, good point.

Maybe they plant to use the waste lines which shouldn't have valves on them past a certain point.
Absolutely right that many people here are quite wealthy. Unions or not (I'm not expressing a stance here), I find it crazy that people can say it is a good thing for other people to be "under the boot".
The Republican party could do better with institutional labor if it removed the planks of its platform that are about gutting institutional labor.
At the time there were websites where you answered surveys for a chance to win an iPod. Questions like Burger King or McDonalds? Etc. They paid $0.50 for each user that started a survey and $2.00 for each completed survey.
The thing is that the data was wiped as part of a "Compliance Delete", albeit a wrongly executed one.

I am actually more surprised that they are able restore the data at all. If you can recover from a Compliance Delete, is it really a Compliance Delete?
I can only remember three cases in our codebase (30+ microservices) where we suffer without generics:

1) we have to write many duplicate functions just to check if an element is inside a slice

2) slices are not covariant, so we have many duplicate functions just to convert something like []MyObject to []MyInterface

3) we have to resort to using slices/maps for most data structures, it's mostly good enough, but the intention is less clear (for example, using a map for a set, or a slice for a queue) and it's less performant than more specialized data structures

Looks like most of it will be covered by the new slices package and various third-party collections packages which are going to proliferate.

We don't use 1.18 in production yet however, because of poor tooling support yet (including linters).

I know a few classes of car destroyers. Some of them get into serious crashes. Some of them are more persistently mildly abusive or inattentive and do a lot of cosmetic and cleanliness damage. One person I know does ultra marathoning and uses his car like a locker room, so it smells like a great multitude of new bacterial species. Another one does zero maintenance and runs things until they don't go, ignoring all the warning messages.

There are so many stories...

I will start before the Bug:

Daewoo Nubira: Drove it until the brakes fell off. Among other oopsies.

VW Bug: Among about $5k in damage from various bad decisions, eventually somehow got T-Boned on his way to traffic safety school. (Too many speeding tickets) He literally rolled up to traffic safety school in a wrecked car.

Fit: I have asked a few times about the Honda fits. First time went like, "Hey is that the same Fit as before?" "No, shutup."

No longer driving a Fit. Not sure what he has.

It has been a colorful friendship.

> That’s settled US Law with regards to artistic depictions of underage sex.

I'm not clear what you mean by this. The laws regarding CSAM vary a lot across the USA because of the different states and then federal law on top. After a federal Supreme Court ruling that virtual images didn't meet the definition of CSAM a lot of jurisdictions modified their statutes to make constructed images also illegal (e.g. cartoons like "lolicon" come under this). It really comes down to where in the USA you live, and remembering that for most Internet crimes the state can charge you and also the federal government can also charge you. I wouldn't screw with these laws either. If I remember correctly there is one US state that has a mandatory minimum of 100 years in prison for a single image.

It’s possible, but I doubt it. 99% of people use a personal computer with just a single user account on it (or they use a phone with no git client, so let’s just think about git users for now). With only one real user account on the machine they are not very likely to encounter this security measure.

I do not believe there was a RAT installed, I think that was just some not entirely true bragging you heard. rather it was ints(internals) that were in on the game and/or tunnels. Merlin lived inside a LAN, to get to it you’d need to break an SSID account which was always a clever trick. Same trick, 20 years later, can still be used to this day to bypass every MFA mechanism I know presently(aws, BofA, etc), if you are smart. The other option was to install a rat(sub7 was a good one) on an employees home machine and then tunnel through it to AOL when they were logged in with an ssid. Which then allowed you to invoke the forms you needed to do things that normally only employees could do.
You ever wondered why so many l33ts were from Virginia? They were using mom and dads int accounts when they weren’t looking to lookup account info, then have a friend call in to reset the passwords. Installing a PWS on one of those home PCs was priceless, as you always have the employees password.

Ah, the good old days.
The first back-prop paper originates in 1970. Hindsight is 20/20, but back then it was not so clear what will follow, just like we couldn't have hoped to see such a model even a few years ago.

About usefulness - the CLIP part of the model is a ready made zero shot image classifier. It reduces the amount of work needed for simple image classification tasks to just naming the classes. The generative part is good enough for illustrations. It will make an average web designer have the powers of a graphical artist.

Unfortunately the models are restricted and expensive today. I hope to see a real open AI initiative to train such models and share the weights, but can't hope that from OpenAI.
Critics from art house kind of skew the data because the audience of art house movies may be little in numbers but they are more engaged and would probably buy more press, read more stuff about cinema, etc so there is more paper made for them.

Meanwhile, the audience that watch more mainstream movies will be less engaged with the cinema's literature. They would probably be happy with just an ad or a trailer. Because they have different expectations about what is a movie. That is why there is less incentive to write critics for that audience.

Hence the disparity in the data.

> What sorts of films don't lecture?

Almost every sort of film, IME. I can hardly recall a film that 'lectured', if we mean the same thing, and it would be panned if it did.

For one thing, if the filmmaker can't convey things without lecturing, they are in completely the wrong job. Does a painter have to add call-out boxes with labels? Second, they almost never have a specific message, but depict the world - art holds a mirror to the world (very generally speaking).

So I am assuming that every product you buy, every merchant you frequent, every service you utilize…are only providers with active unions?

Willing to bet they aren’t…or you don’t know if they are or not, had no idea if they were unionizing or not, and didn’t think to even care before my comment.

Thanks for the honesty points.
The biggest thing you have left out is one API calling another API which requires on-behalf-of flow. This is an extremely common scenario and yet mostly glossed over until the day you have to do it in a real enterprise to flow the delegated identity.
There’s a Mac version though.
It gives you a single place to manage roles and access, RBAC. Saving you the hassle of managing api key generation- and provisioning for N consumers multiplied by M services. Second thing would be that you don’t have to think about api key rotations and revocation everywhere, the only auth is done to the idp (possibly with mfa) and from there everything else is short lived tokens.
Why? If it’s a one-off occurence you can do it inside the closure, if it happens more often then surely a zero-overhead wrapper type is the ergonomic choice.

> This is a use case for PNG, and one where people can plainly see why a lossless format exists.

WebP has a lossless mode for that reason, and is almost a strict improvement over PNG [1].

> Any movie that does well with critics or at a film festival has “a strong message” or “teaches us something”. That’s all well and good, but I don’t need these expensive (€20/ticket) modern fables. I’m paying to be entertained, not to be lectured to.

FWIW, they are not lecturing; there is no strong message. I suspect you are finding what you look for, but it's hardly ever there. I've seen many, many art films, and I can hardly remember much of that.

In fact, the usual criticism AFIAK is that the art world lacks morality and embraces relativism.
Every higher level language, library and framewok automates coding. But the result is more complex programs, not fewer developers.

Mmmh.

First, not entirely sure what "goated" means, but whatever floats your boat.

Next, comparing a lossless format like PNG against a lossy format like webp ... what's the point unless all of his webp files are losslessly compressed.

Last, if one wants to dive down the lossy image format rabbit hole, then webp is definitely very old news, jpeg XL [1][2] is - for example - much more cutting edge.

Those were just text files showing form submissions from fake billing(phishing) pages. I’d guess.

If it wasn’t a “non”(a cc never used at AOL before) it was low value, credit cards were a dime a dozen back then. Only Nons were really high value to ao-hackers. Or cards with the bank phone number, from the back of the card, so you could find out how much available credit they had.
So you'll need to open up a water line in order to fix/repair the fiber?
I welcome you to allow us to judge if they are really top notch.
And .... there go probably tens of thousands of person-hours of human effort due to fixing this across huge numbers of systems.

It's fascinating to me that we have people out there just casually making these kind of decisions with enormous cost implications with barely any thought to the downstream implications. Then meanwhile, we need approval in our org to claim a $30 taxi voucher as an expense.
In South Africa, when fiver was released, you were required to dig a trench for the cables, which resulted in all the sidewalks in the whole city being dug up, sometimes even three times (There were several providers), which got me thinking, can’t these fiver cables simple be aerial?
I'd much prefer an ecosystem of interlocking small commands with uniform options than using classic UNIX do-everything tools such as awk. These generally have terrible syntax that's impossible to remember. If I'm gonna drop to a sublanguage other than the shell, I'll use something sane like Python.

AFAIK the costs have not been published, but assuming you'd have access to the data (which is tricky, and getting an different, equivalent dataset may involve lots of time/effort/legal issues/cleanup work), my estimate is that the compute for this would cost in the ballpark of $1m-$10m.

But if you don't want a universal model but just a specific niche (e.g. furries) then you should be able to train a much smaller model on much less data and get something interesting much cheaper.
Wait, so support for WebP doesn’t imply format for both versions? If they don’t, that’s horrible. If they do, they are not entirely different at all.
In my neighborhood in Seattle all the Fiber cables hang on utility poles. Is that what you mean by aerial?
Or when you notice quality loss because the original JPEG has significantly higher quality than whatever it got transcoded to.

Seriously, people, stop transcoding to "newer, better" formats at lower quality. Just stop. I should never have a better experience if I set up an older browser that doesn't accept your newfangled stuff. Either manage to get the quality right (easier said than done) or just don't transcode stuff.

(This is much easier to get right if you are also shrinking an image.)

You’re right about the Supreme Court verdict and the subsequent state law changes, which is why I called it “settled”. It’s settled in the “normal conditions” sense. There’s basically no where you could operate the servers or send it to a user where it wouldn’t probably be a violation. If you operate in the USA then your subject to that hodgepodge of state laws, which mean you just have to avoid it because it’s too big if a risk.

Try to hydrate with electrolytes to taste. Magnesium salts, potassium salts and NaCl need a balance with water intake. Some diets need less, others more. Some sources of sea salt have a good balance and you don't need artificial supplements at all. Also a tiny bit of sugar opens up your stomach to hydration (see ORS).

For me, a bit of sea salt electrolyte supplementation allows me to reduce the severity of my dust allergies as my body can clear from exposures better.
Saudi Arabia leads OPEC decision to drop IEA data as US ties fray
To me it feels like someone could rethink the unix tools in the way you're talking about, and maybe it could become a successful and widely-adopted project. Because a suite of tools like this could live alongside the old unix stuff.

The main challenge to doing this well is having good taste and experience. It may be that if you really tried to do this, you'd face tons of UX challenges, and you'd find that tools like awk really were in the sweet spot already.
