So, I think it’s time to build solutions that directly address the problem (inflation). An interesting idea would be an NFT (I know…bear with me)that breeds a “child NFT” when CPI(inflation) rises past a threshold. Owner can sell child to cover inflation costs. Child becomes a parent when transferred, and similarity breeds based on CPI increases. Cycle repeats…

Would love to hear why it won’t work, how to improve it, etc.

Instead of asking governments to stop printing so much dang money, or, starting wars, both of which cause inflation, we can now say fuck it and build economic tools that protect people from the crushing lose in purchasing power. Let’s do that!!
It'd be useful to capture why OIDC exists (it addresses actual vulnerabilities that crop up when you try to do OAuth as a single-signon scheme rather than just as a way of delegating out the ability to schedule a tweet with a 3rd party service), and to pull out JWT --- you may not be able to avoid JWT if you're doing OIDC, but it's helpful to know what problems JWT addresses and what ones it doesn't, because if you can avoid JWT, you'll almost certainly be better off.
It does. https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-media/patch/0d4dc...

You can think of the VideoCore ISP firmware task as a proprietary application and the Pi Camera as a hardware security dongle for that proprietary application.

You can choose not to run that application and access raw data from CSI if you'd like, but if you want to run the special ISP firmware application, you need the hardware dongle.

I think I feel the same way about the DRMed blob as I do about the Pi in general: I understand why the Pi folks did things the way they did, I don't think it's unethical by any stretch, but the situation is disappointing and I would prefer the alternative.
I feel like one of the bad guys in Get Smart... I find that very hard to believe.
You sound similar to me, girlfriend is an artist with an incredible visual imagination, mother is a therapist, and I was at a 0 on the scale before I met her. My gf and I have had some deep conversations, sometimes assisted by MDMA, and at times to the point of crying in front of her in a state of completely trusting her which uncovered some past trauma, social fears, and other discomforts I needed to work through. Anyway after each of these times it would get a little easier to visualize; simple colors at first, then colorful shapes, now small snippets of images that come in and out. Maybe a 2-3 on the scale. Also my memory has improved, not so much for technical stuff, but just remembering the details of my life which before had huge spans (in years) that I mostly didn't remember.

Anyway this might just be specific to me but something to think about.
I have the code on GitHub but I haven’t built the code in 4 years so don’t have a screenshot. Like I said, the code was written in about 3 days and QML allowed me to iterate quickly, but the resulting code quality isn’t great (since it was a once off project, built and used in the same week and then never used again, I didn’t clean it up or anything).

The editor simulated the LED strip using the same code to generate the effects as the on device version (which just ran without the UI and a different “driver” class implementation). It ran on a Raspberry Pi so the device wasn’t a microcontroller or anything, which made it easy to run the C++ code. In theory I could have made it run in a microcontroller but it wasn’t necessary for the project and time was limited.

Anyway, the code is here: https://github.com/danielytics/ledstudio

And the QML specifically is here: https://github.com/danielytics/ledstudio/blob/master/main.qm...

If I were to clean it up, I would at least split the different labels into their own QML files but hey, shortcuts were taken over those few days :)

Visually, it didn’t look all that great, but I’m not a UI person either and it was rushed. Functionally it could have been improved too, but it did what it was supposed to and it worked well. It allowed us to create various LED effect sequences quickly and play them back later.

I personally quite like QML. It’s not perfect, by any means, but I like using it more than React (which is what I’ve been using on projects since due to needing to be web based).
Open sourcing an internal repository with extensive, ongoing work on it is always a difficult affair, because you're creating a second source of truth. (It isn't just how you manage external contributions, but also workflows like releases and CI.)

I wouldn't consider this to be a problem.
Thinking about zero dollars. The App Store states the developer name prominently. The graphics look nothing like an official Apple app. It nowhere claims any official anything.
It's not a valid experiment regardless. There are too many confounding factors and too small a group.

It doesn't matter. Medicine is a lot less about proper science than we'd like to believe. It's about helping people feel better. Science is a crucial tool for that, but it doesn't always work, while random guessing sometimes does. Even the science is often supplemented with random guessing.

Eventually, you take enough random-guesses-that-worked and apply science to it. That gives you a lot more confidence to recommend it to other people. But often, confidence is all you get, rarely certainty.

So, hard links are being replaced symbolic links.

Most people I know prefer symlinks for most uses, so this feels like better UX.

> In general, use the Authorization Code grant if there is a human being involved and the Client Credentials grant if you are performing server to server communication.

This is the crux of the article.

We're integrating with a vendor now that has imo chosen incorrectly to use auth code instead of client credentials.

This leads to several problems. One is that we need to store their refresh tokens, which go stale after 2 weeks. Since it's theoretically possible that the customer doesn't use the integration for 2 weeks, we need to preemptively use the refresh tokens ourselves behind the scenes every 2 weeks to prevent this. When the vendor changes tech behind the scenes, they just chuck away all existing tokens, so we then need to contact all customers asking them to log in again in order to get new refresh tokens. It sucks and it's brittle as hell.

Tldr; don't use auth code grants (the ones most people think oauth is) for server to server integrations.
I do.

I don't recall a time where I could ever play solitaire in iOS without being met with hostility, free or paid.

There has never been reason to have faith because there has never been a golden age of the iOS app store. It's always been trash.

What sorts of films don't lecture?
I often point out an anecdote from my early e-commerce days in the late 90s where a customer wanted in-store pickup like everyone else they saw on the web doing. But they just had purchased an already outdated (but IBM so nobody got fired) Point Of Sale system for 40 stores which did inventory management as a batch at the close of business each day over Frame Relay lines or even dialup. The concept of a VPN was alien to them.

Since they were selling some limited edition high priced items that were allocated to each store, there were often only 1 or 2 at a given location of what would be a popular item.

So you can imagine when I explained that the huge investment in the legacy system just a few years before was a big blocker for ‘pick up in store’.

I think we had to hardcode something that would remove an item for sale online if there were less than 2 left or some awful hack like that to reduce customer complaints.
> you have a server and a clientside JS app. How do you secure it?

I'd love to hear what others have to say, but I'd suggest encrypted session cookies. This is what some frameworks support out of the box (rails has docs here: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/security.html#sessions ). Would store the session in an HttpOnly secure cookie.

If you need to scale your server side horizontally, you'd use redis, a database or something similar for your session store.

This feels like a problem usually solved at the framework level (and has been for years) so maybe that's why there are not as many "best practices" docs around?

This OWASP document may be a useful read too: https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Session_Manag...
Men's health is complicated. Yes, there's some "strength in silence" confounding issues in doctor training and patients, but if you pry back the social media buzzwords, you'll see that there's complex economic and societal forces that push men's health downward.

Also, I think you are trolling, but I'll bite. The expectancy in the 0-1 age group takes into account all life events that will affect the child over time, including what I had quoted. If you look at the probabilities in early life for both sexes, they have similar death probabilities.

I often watch POV walking/biking videos when working out indoors (rambalac for Japan, prowalk tours for Italy/Europe, watched walker for London, …) and thanks to your site I’ve found a couple more channels I was not aware of: could you maybe have a page where you list all the channels you are using (with maybe the amount of videos from each)?

From a gaming standpoint maybe I would show the source button only after the user has made a guess, as well as having an auto play button that can be disabled in case the user just wants to play random POV videos as screensaver or keep watching for a while after guessing.

If someone has a Drive desktop client installed, has two source-code directories with some identical files in them, and modifies one of the identical files in just one of the directories, I can imagine they'd be very surprised when the other copy in the untouched directory also changes.

Yes, medical folk wanted to get masks for medical folk (some of whom even know how to wear them) but "they didn't want a panic" is self-deception. They may have wanted that effect but that was not the likely result of such an announcement.

That's because the public health community has been incompetent at best and typically self-defeating at messaging for decades.

Unfortunately, pretty much everything other than self-evident statements out of the public health community has been good reason to think that the exact opposite is the right response. In this case, "don't panic" was best interpreted as "things are likely to go south, so urgent action is probably a good idea".

"hey, don't hoard masks, we don't have enough for medical personnel" would have been more effective.

As to the feds seizing masks, that was mostly the public health community doing the seizing.

As a kid I sometimes went to a RC airfield here close by. Those things were crazy expensive. And then we're not even talking about model helicopters yet. Those things were not on batteries but on gasoline. As a kid I dreamed of having one, but those were just too expensive to give as a toy to a kid. Nowadays? Buy a drone 'helicopter' for $20. It's really crazy if you compare this to the 90's.

Drones that self hover were not even remotely possible. Or at least not as far as I know, unless you know more than me. And drones with camera's? No way!

> The internet is certainly an advantage, but it also ain't too new.

I naively thought that “electricity” is electrons moving from point a to point b under some potential (ie, a current). The electrons have to be able to move, which might be small in a conductor or higher in an insulator. And the photoelectric effect appears when photons of the appropriate energy blow electrons from the bound to the unbound state.

Can’t say I recall a course that discussed the causes of electricity, so there must be a jargon problem here, I thought lightening came when the charge separation (or magnitude?) at the top of the cloud exceeded any insulation effect of the air. But then uni was a while ago. Fried various low voltage devices with static charges though, and I thought that was lightening writ small.

Pretty much everyone (including my $dayjob) seems to do some webm parsing, rewiting, and/or remuxing in JS, or on the backend post-record. There are half a dozen ad hoc webm parsers floating around GitHub for this reason, and a few more minimal WebM or ISOBMFF muxers.

And half the tools don't work on Safari, which makes ISOBMFF in their MediaRecorder implementation.

It really seems to me, as a user (not invloved in the standards) like it was some intenal Chrome functionality that got an API slapped on top and made into a spec. Nothing seems well designed, or... designed at all, tbh.

(Can you tell I've had to work with MediaRecorder? When I read 'The skater punk’s guide to MediaRecorder' I thought it would be one sentence: 'Put it in the trash.')

Apologies for the salt.
I invited you in the OP to do your own research if you aren't aware of all the sanctions we added, the multiple treaties we withdrew from, or how much deadly weapons we provided Ukraine as just a starting point.

I'm not going to bother with semantics arguments around whether the US intended for Russia to go further into Ukraine vs intentionally kept escalating the behaviors that they knew would increase the risk of Russia going further into Ukraine but they didn't "want" it to happen.

In 2014, you mean when the US openly supported revolution in Ukraine and cherry picked the new administration?

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/apr/30/russia...

Ukraine had previously had a long-standing agreement with Russia to guarantee access to the only warm water port Russia had. After the new regime that was picked by the US came in, they revoked that relationship. That is the reason why Russia took Crimea (warm water port), because it was unwilling to be nerfed by the US in this way.

I hate that idea, it's effectively overloading a noun that objectively speaking should only contain information that is intrinsic to the properties of the noun itself. A chair or other inanimate objects do not have genders, and forcing a non-native speaker to conjugate a noun correctly just adds to the mental complexity.

I assume that would break the orientation of text insertions?
I think there are some confounding variables that make this analysis extremely difficult.

First off I'd like to establish that in the 90s film critics had no idea what audiences like, most of the famous film critics were film majors who values cinematography well above what standard audiences would rate it - a poorly shot movie with guns and explosions would be a box office darling while a black and white drama in the style of ingmar bergman would delight critics (I'm not badmouthing these movies btw - they just didn't tend to be audience favorites). Additionally, pre internet we essentially had no access to unprofessional opinions - hobby magazines and word of mouth were the only things that could counter a bad review from the globe or times.

Secondly, I think, like we saw with pretty much all "old media" that critics took their damn sweet time to transition over to the internet. In the early days of rotten tomatoes you'd rarely see newspaper critics within the tomatometer - those criticisms were the property of their respective media companies and they didn't want to give the milk away for free. As such it's taken a while for the professional grade critics to actually fully move into the new space - mostly by way of replacement. Old critics die and retire and new critics fresh out of film school start their career running a blog and being tech friendly.

From those two points, while I find the data in the article quite well calculated theoretically I think it's hard to really draw any conclusions - the conversion rate of critics would need to be better understood and the pre-internet critic inaccuracy would need to be evaluated. There are some great examples of films that were absolutely panned by critics but ended up being extremely beloved classics[1] and, then, we've got all the cult hits like RHPS which, when originally screened, had the vast majority of critics simply walk out on.
