I was, recently, very happy to switch entirely to KeepassXC, which for me has all the features mentioned here. Most importantly, it serves as my SSH-agent and Sercret-Service, getting rid of the Gnome Keyring.
I was currently looking at how to use it as a secret storage in CLI version or with kpcli.

But discovering PASS, PASSAGE and SOPS, I'm now very interested in these file-based and modular solutions, more like plain text and future proof.

The big concern would be that I will have to put back the Gnome Keyring for the Secret-Service... Big NOPE.

Do anyone know a solution for that with SOPS or PASS?

That requires governments taking a strong position against businesses that are using such toxic industrial compounds for the health of their citizens. But, when money is involved, political will is usually weak. As is often the case, there will be a lot of bought off politicians, who will attempt to ignore or gaslight.

The trick of contaminating the environment with such dangerous chemicals is that death is slow. That people die 10 or 20 years later of strange cancers or have children with odd birth defects, allows businesses wiggle room. It's not a clear immediate threat, so many minds are slow on grasping the extreme danger involved.

Only very strong consumer advocacy and voter pressure (where politicians demonstrably get kicked out of office) will have a chance of making a true difference.

> That's what you get in a zero-interest rate environment with no industrial policy.

There was a complete lack of any kind of policy in almost all major Western countries. Since the competitive pressure of the USSR fell away, Western politics have stagnated - keep the economy as-is, maybe lower corporate taxes and privatize government services. The only thing where a bit of progress happened in politics were social equality issues (gay marriage, access to abortions) and that's it.

But no government really thought about what digitalization would bring, how to regulate it to prevent the rise of new exploitation models (gig workers) or speculative bubbles (dotcom bubble, the current shitcoin collapse), or how the economy should transform to the new possibilities and realities.

The result is - we've seen it all - not pretty... the economy clearly wants directions from politics where it should go (particularly in the automotive industry), and a ton of money was blasted into cryptocurrencies, NFTs and other scams simply because there was no direction where money should go instead. If one wants to boil it down, I'd call it "this is what happens when the free market takes ultimate control over everything".

From a theoretical point of view, this is evidence that quantum computing is a more powerful model of computation.

I think its ~200 from UK to US and 11 US to UK.
What was the UK gonna do, say no? That wasn't really an option.
It does not! It was meant to be a rather simple example showing what using iterators look like. Perhaps interesting to note that I'll likely be removing iterators in favor of generators which are easier to use. With monomorphisation of effects it is my hope that they'll be just as efficient, but Iterators will remain until tests prove that is the case.

As for the examples, they definitely showcase things that aren't present in most languages and can thus be confusing. That is on purpose though, since ante for me is a language to experiment with novel features I find interesting. The second example on lifetime inference for example can be thought of as like rust's lifetimes but completely inferred and instead of issuing errors for "x does not live long enough" it will instead automatically extend the lifetime of x. So my hope is it is easier to use at the loss of some control (control can be regained by using other pointer types like `Ptr a` for a raw pointer used to implement other things on top of).

To each their own, but Python's use of indenting for structure is why I never tried it. It just felt, to me, like it was solving one problem with another.

I think Go gets this right: it consistently uses braces for structure, but has an idiomatic reformatting tool that is applied automatically by most IDEs. This ensures that the format and indentation always perfectly matches the code structure, without needing to use invisible characters.
The UK did look at the evidence to the level of scrutiny as agreed in the extradition treaty and decided he should be extradited. This isn't some hypothetical, Assange got a fair hearing at every court in the land up to the supreme court, and the judges came to the conclusion that he should be extradited. This isn't some hypothetical, it is a matter of law that his extradition is legal.

And just to put a real fine point on this: The UK judges all the way up to the Supreme court did look at the evidence, and decided against him. Which I would say is a much more reasonable approach than your argument that he shouldn't be extradited based on not having looked at the evidence for a while. It's not even like it's incomprehensible, they published their judgements at every single stage. Here, it's page 27 of this document: https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/USA-v-As...

Same as communism.
My biggest takeaway right now is to study the crypto firms and projects that are having trouble as a way to abstract what red flags to look for.

For example, with Terra the abstraction was that pegs don't work as we've seen many a time, especially when Soros broke the BoE. I took a small bath with my Terra holding and life goes on. I can do that because I didn't use leverage, I can lose everything I put into crypto, and I diversified my crypto portfolio. Moving forward I'm staying away from projects with a "stable coin" component as I don't think the fundamentals work.

If anyone has come across an analysis framework for other crypto projects please let me know.
How come?

There are many people in crypto who aren't fond of companies like Coinbase or OpenSea.

The helped to make things a bit more mainstream, but they aren't paragons of decentralization.
No, they didn't. This was always inevitable, based on it's inherent properties.
Assange became voluntarily a Kremlin asset out of spite.

Unlike Snowden who was trapped in Russia because the US government waited until he departed HK before canceled passport and is not pushing Russian propaganda.

Both are charged for committing political crime (motivated by his conviction, commits an unlawful act designed to attack the social structure to bring about a reorganization of the system). The difference is that Assange's conviction was not pure.
They weren't in a position to bargain since they'd already accepted repeated cuts and it's hard for a symphony to stay solvent when it doesn't have any musicians.

(Though I don’t imagine they’ll actually follow through on that part in that form, or most browsers that aren’t Chrome will set their defaults so.)

Businesses don’t like those rules. And they have tended to pretend to comply (but not actually comply) in such a way as to convince people to dislike them too.

> Escalators constrain the rate at which people can actually reach the platforms

Let people wait on the platform as the train arrives. This is something that basically every train operator but Amtrak does.

> The tracks do not support all operators and the station design divides Amtrak from LIRR

This isn't a problem... trains in most stations are already basically scheduled to an individual platform anyways.

> Trains are terminating at NYP which requires a longer process of ensuring no passengers are still on on board before leaving for the yard.

Through-run trains. Yes, this requires cracking some heads at NJT and LIRR (and MTA before much longer). Is it really worth spending billions of dollars to avoid having to resolve agency turf fights?

Author here, that is the purpose lifetime inference is meant to serve. It automatically extends lifetimes of `ref`s so that they are long enough. A key advantage of these is avoiding lifetime annotations in code, at the cost of some lack of control since the lifetime is increasingly handled for you. You can also opt out by using raw pointer types though and easily segfault with those.

The UK has eliminated cookie pop up requirements. However, they have introduced other legislation that requires websites to establish the ages of all visitors via checking legal ID so that adult content can be restricted. This is expected to be done by integrating with (paid) third-party APIs that will keep track of users’ legal identity across websites. This will be both privacy-invasive for users and expensive for website operators. The UK has also axed many of the EU-based data protections that users have.

The technical term is a "minority union" all unions start as minority unions. It's the first part of a union's lifecycle. To register with the NRLB they need to reach a certain percentage of employees. 30% I believe is the correct number at which elections can be held. After a successful election then the NLRB can certify your Union as a collective bargaining representative. Collective bargaining is an NRLB process so you are right that until they reach the correct benchmark of members, hold an election, and get registered they can't participate in collective bargaining.

Minority Unions are still unions though. They are just new ones that have just started their lifecycle. They are a union but one without teeth.

The Army's story has a much more interesting bit:

An electronic “recloser,” funded by the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program, is also being demonstrated as part of the system. Reclosers respond to transient events, like a tree limb brushing against a power line, to quickly reset the system and restore power. This technology provides better protection for system power lines and minimizes damage to sensitive electronic equipment in the event of power interruption.

The postscript has a reasonable summary:

« in their professional experience, age verification is only ever invoked in discussions around what we might call explicit adult content: pornography, alcohol, tobacco, and firearms. So that’s what they assume this discussion is about, here, in the UK. They don’t realise, until I explain it to them, that the UK legislative discussion is not just about preventing children from accessing those four kinds of content. It’s about mandating age verification for anything and everything, for every user, of every age, in front of access to all topics, all subjects, all sites, all service providers, all opinions, and all content. The whole public open web. Everything. »
