I'm well aware it's bipartisan, I called it Biden's Lend-Lease Act because his administration pushed it and he signed it into law.

As usual, very few people in Congress are actually antiwar, even "The Squad" is all aboard the warmongering in Ukraine. I guess now that we're out of Afghanistan we have to send that money somewhere, god forbid we use it internally.
In the case of Axiom & Vercel, you'll only be paying for ingest (if you need over 2GB/day) and no bandwidth costs. I believe the latter is the case with all of Vercel's observability partners (and with most services providing a log-drains service).

It's a fair point, though...at some point, and with enough TBs of traffic, it could get expensive to provide the log drain support. One thing we've been working on (and more on this in the coming weeks), is putting together a benchmark of log-drain mechanisms to try and work out what would be the most efficient combo of compression/cpu/mem to use for log-drain providers.

Our hope is we can work on making it efficient enough that we can encourage more services to provide log-drains (and therefore allow us to make great experiences around those logs!).

Been around as long as Bitcoin, and unlike Bitcoin it’s banking thr unbanked, allowing FG cheap transfers and being used in millions of real life transactions all across Africa.

So yeah, Bitcoin and most other crypto are a joke compared to actual real life in use technology.

Edit: Bitcoin does fewer than 300k transactions a day, so let’s be generous and say it does a million. That’s 365million transactions a year. MPesa has been regularly handling over 15billion transactions a year.

Thing is, usually those reasons don't actually exclude the usage of GPL despite someone saying they do. Google is the biggest offender here, they have outright lied about the terms of GPLv2/3 in order to have quick and easy excuses to avoid it.

How has Python - almost surely the most successful and widely adopted scientific programming ecosystem - avoided the problems of #2? E.g. Python doesn't have static typing.

Is it just that Python is so widely used there's institutional support for incredible linting and type check tools despite the lack of static typing? Or that much of the science/data ecosystem of Python is written in lower level statically typed languages?

(sadly possibly necessary edit/clarification: I'm not trying to be That Guy who answers every complaint about Julia with a matching complaint about Python. I'm legitimately curious about how Python got where it is without static typing, and what that implies about paths to a better ecosystem for Julia.)

The concept looks fine, but was there resistance from users to have local apps talk to cloud resources in the first place ? It looks to me like it’s just describing the situation from a few years ago, but as a pre-packaged concept.

I understand the current situation as a result from evolving business models, that lead to better profits when the control is taken away from the user and they have to get into subscriptions for continuous use. Basically the Adobe CS story. This manifesto doesn’t touch the business aspect at all, so I’m not sure what to take from it.
Indeed. I tried many prompts, given to mini Dall-e and the generated art is located at insta/pramatias alongside with the prompts. Actually i didn't know that insta prohibits downloading of the images, so they will be uploaded to additional sites. Is there any site which has the beauty and simplicity for uploading albums like insta? Devianart is pretty bloated.

Actually after thousand of prompts to mini Dalle i found that the more of a programming language you consider the prompt, and not as a natural language, the better and more accurate it is. In that regard operator first is better, almost like lisp. I tried prompts with parentheses but the nesting didn't affect the results.

I think that with the modern information bombarding, everyone needs to be information-analyst and programmer, information-analyst and engineer, information-analyst and doctor. Dalle will help us construct images which follow some mnemonic rules which can be represented in art. That way we can memorize many corners of the information we want to remember, and know how to not lose the plot of the project in question. Like an image for every function, or an image for every module, or for every enum and trait.

Colorforth did exist in the past most probably we can make artforth with the speed and ease of modern tools.

The study from that link[0] that the CA government used to justify this law is BS. Huge garden of forking paths issue. I mean this doesn't exactly inspire confidence:

> After following the iterative identification, estimation, and diagnosis model-building strategy of Box and Jenkins (1976), the following model was obtained: [Followed by a very complex equation with no justification for its structural form].

If I can iteratively generate a model that uses arbitrary combinations of arbitrary variables until I get to statistical significance, I can prove anything. That, plus the 23% decrease of nighttime vehicle deaths they attribute to this law is simply implausibly large. Per NHTSA, alcohol was involved in 40% of fatal accidents in 1990. Meaning it somehow stopped on the order of half of alcohol-related auto deaths in Oregon. That's magical thinking for an intervention like this.

Yeah, though I do actually think “all code which doesn’t suffer from those kinds of bugs is typed” is true to a first approximation, for what it's worth. That's a big part of the reason I prefer static types. Under a few thousand lines it's less true. It's really at scale that these things become a problem, and even so they're still manageable most of the time, they're just kind of a pain.

I'm not a C developer, nor have I ever been interested in developing with it.

From my perspective, it seems like a massive time drain and non-productive use of my time. Just a few points:

- Tooling seems all over the place (build system, package management)

- Having to roll your own trivial functions / types (tooling may play into this)

- Versioning is confusing (C99, C11, ???)

The only advantage I see would be in embedded software because C is supposedly supported on a lot of platforms and is performant. But, I'm not actually sure this is true in practice.

Can you write one file of C code and compile it easily for multiple platforms or is there a lot of caveats?

I'm interested in what makes you think the term 'risk' is weird. In my experience most, if not the majority, of business decisions a company made were composed at the management level as a trade-off between risk and reward. The decision process included a list of things that could go wrong, or take longer than expected, Etc and those things were in the risk category, and things like time to market, operational efficiency, better margins, Etc. were in the reward category.

From that perspective the choice to use open source software in their product seemed to often include two risks, one was how would you respond if it broke and the other was what would you have to do to replace it if it became unavailable for some reason. To use a pretty well known example, the Android system from Google, which you could compile and run on your phone for "free" but the risk was that Microsoft would (and did) come after you for patent infringement if you used it in a phone [1].

The risk here was to margins, where a manager might assume the cost of shipping this software was $0 (no license cost) and have it end up costing $Y because of patent fees.

When Blekko was acquired by IBM we had to "blue wash" our code, which was to go through and identify every copyright, every comment that might imply ownership, and figure out if it was "okay", "not okay", or "needs more research." That entire exercise was described as "Minimizing the risk that the IBM company will be sued because they are using the code for your product."

So that is where I'm coming from here.

Hahaha well you sound like an excellent employer. It's not so much that I care in the sense that I'd be embarrassed, but am just scared of losing what is currently desperately needed income. If she had the contact info of just my boss I'd probably text them and be like "Hey you should know about x". But she has the contact info of several coworkers, including female coworkers, and I fear that the discomfort it would cause them could be grounds for firing.
The residents in this location have an aquifer.

If I were your boss my concern would be how easily you succumbed to blackmail, so don't mention that. Would you be willing to give her company passwords next ? I also wouldn't want to be part of your personal drama. If I got these pics as your employer, I'd delete them and tell you FYI, I got an email and deleted it and I don't care. Again as long as you don't mention you paid blackmail money since that could imply you did something illegal, like underage sex (I know you said that isn't it).

While the above may seem insensitive it was actually intended to put your mind at ease. I was in a similar situation ~10 years ago. I couldn't sleep, I thought my reputation was destroyed. I then reached out to the website where my fake revenge porn pic/profile was posted (it was a bad fake but still humiliating) and they took down the post. After I found my attacker's personal address and mailed a letter to his wife telling them I'd sue them for their house and assets if it continued. It all seems so petty and silly now but at the time I felt like my life was being destroyed. All because some SEO marketer stole my website, possibly source code, and App reviews and I wrote him a scathing review stating such. I was really just mad that he stole my App reviews since those belonged to my customers and were not mine to steal but I digress.

The storm that caused this erosion was a nor'easter, which are on average worse for the Outer Banks when compared to hurricanes as they're slower moving, which causes more beach erosion.

That's not the impression one would get following the last two decades of geopolitics.

In the 90s the dangers of NATO expansion were still very much recognized and voiced [0] when Clinton was working towards it.

Bush didn't follow straight up, had 9/11 to deal with and used that to justify quitting anti-ballistic missile treaties in Europe [1], allegedly to defend against Iran, when in practice it very much killed a "nuclear impasse" that kept Russia comfortable, and then Bush suddenly also started talking about NATO expansion [2].

All of that was already quite suspect to Russia, so it was agreed to give Russia something like a voice at NATO [3], which never went past symbolism, but allowed Russia to save at least some face and was supposed to calm nerves.

That was needed, because the US invasion, and following NATO occupation of Afghanistan translated to histories largest NATO operation, right in the backyard of Russia. Consultation with Russia about that; Zero

What followed was more NATO expansion, the US further undermining established European security frameworks [4] to degree that Russia would simply quit them out of protest.

Afaik, right now there is only one security treaty still in effect between Russia and the US, New START, which is about keeping total arsenals of both parties in check. But in terms of security treaties regulating the stationing of conventional troops or treaties regulating the placement of ballistic missile systems in Europe, there's literally nothing left to keep everybody in check.

A situation, that from Russia's PoV is one the US has actively worked towards [5] for these last two decades, along-side it's steady NATO expansion.

Disclaimer; None of this is meant to justify the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but said invasion is very much the result of consistently ignoring Russia's own security demands, and warnings, for literally decades.

That's why from the Russian PoV they are not in Ukraine on the "offensive to invade all of Europe", from the Russian PoV the bear is cornered and fighting off a still approaching aggressor, after years of roaring at it not to approach further.

That’s a different issue. The problem there (to generalize wildly) is whether both parties actually had an intent to enter into an agreement. That’s a distinct legal requirement from the need for consideration. But I agree that GP’s scenario may suffer from the same kind of problem.
You can look at the studies they rely on here: https://www.abc.ca.gov/law-and-policy/regulations-rulemaking...

The first appears to be a tortured statistical analysis of a preexisting trend. The second is a qualitative assessment. The third appears to be a CDC panic piece.

That’s my assessment, at least.

IMO Go has far more boiler plate than Java. Go is going to have countless amounts more boiler plate for simple logic. Just like your comment below try writing one of these in go:

var lst = users.stream()
.filter(User::isAdmin)
.map(u -> u.id() + “ : “ + u.name())
.limit(10)
.toList();

static boolean isPrime(int n) {
return switch (n) {
case 0, 1 -> false,
default -> !IntStream.range(2, n).anyMatch(i -> n % i == 0)
}
}
That looks great, do you have a list of parts used for the setup?

In California you have do an economic impact summary for most bills over $50M in impact. They did one for this[1].

Summary below:

Net benefits to state: Positive $3.5B (I'm guessing that includes some savings for less calls to police, less hospital stays, less violence, etc).

I doubt any of this is ever checked forward in time, but I'm glad they at least stated assumptions.

The regulators do not care and they will do whatever means necessary to limit the use of privacy coins being used for ransomware since they know they can't ban it. [0][1], Hence why the extreme calls to 'Ban all of it' and for them to 'Die in a Fire', is nonsense and is simply not going to happen, otherwise they would have done it already to all of them; which they didn't.

Like it or not, they are starting with privacy coins [1] and will use regulations to wipe the non-compliant ones out. That is the likely outcome of all of this rather than the extreme remarks of both crypto skeptics and the crypto-maxis incorrect of all of them dying and all them succeeding.

> An email address? Why do we need to complicate this with blockchain tomfoolery?

Because I can send a message to a public key, encrypted such that only the owner of the private key that pairs with that public key, can decrypt. Since the user actually owns the keys, they can't get rugged by Google or Microsoft because they find themselves on the wrong side of big brother. Public on-chain wallets as identity are also much more spam-resistant. Verifying a cryptographic signature is completely decentralized and does not require even internet access (could be done fully offline) whereas email is tied to a server by definition. Numerous possibilities open up with public-private keys.
Yeah fair enough. My main concern and reason for succumbing to the blackmail wasn't out of fear of embarrassment, but fear of losing my job. Given that this was my concern, if something like company passwords had been a demand then of course it would have been a denial. But at the time I felt like a couple K was worth not risking the loss of my job.

There isn't really a resource limit for TPMs in this respect (the certs are kept on disk along with encrypted key blobs that are just loaded in and out of the TPM at runtime as needed), but there's no standardised mechanism for a site to provision a hardware-backed cert, so there's no way (eg) Github could give you a unique Github cert and then tie access to that.
