This is what I am afraid of. It leads to an arms race where everyone now has to code outside of work to be competitive.

As someone who values work-life balance, this is a worrying trend.
Given your username, how did/do you manage to pass the interview for all those jobs? At least one of your interviewers would likely have asked if you've "finished" working with your "previous" employer or a question alluding to it. Either that or they would have done a background check via Experian or LexisNexis.

The war declaration by Putin clearly contains call for genocide and ethnic cleansing and for destruction of Ukrainian ethnical and political identity. And that is what they've been doing there. And if i you watch Russian state TV you'll see that they call for and celebrate destruction of "Ukraininess", cancelation of Ukrainian language in schools and celebratory reporting that there will be only Russian, they celebrate and call for killing of "nationalists" (which de-facto, according to their words and actions, means Ukrainians who refuse to accept Russian identity).

> "now we kill all the Ukrainians"

The goal declared and constantly repeated on the TV is no more Ukraine, no more Ukrainians. As Putin said they are Russians, and the ones who resist are to be destroyed. To that goal they have already killed ~50000 in Mariupol (10% of its pre-war population or 30% of those un-evacuated), ~30000 of armed forces, hard to count the killed in all the smaller cities/towns though one can guess seeing the total destruction there similar to Mariupol, and 13M displaced by the bombings. And that just for the 4 months in the country of only 40M.

>for territorial

they do intentionally clean the territory off Ukrainians (all those displaced and killed with the rest having their "Ukraininess" suppressed by the terror regime enforced there by the Russian SS "Russian Guard") and establish there "Russian world" - classical genocide and ethnical cleansing.

>and security reasons

that is pretext. Pure propaganda BS. All those biological weapons (able at DNA level target Russians while staying safe for Ukrainians) carrying birds which Ukraine was making in the Pentagon laboratories, or Ukraine planning to attack Mother Russia on March 7.
There might be a smart contract that acts as a hot wallet where you fund once to authorize, and every month the contract owner/operator can withdraw X amount of Ether from your quota. They pay for the gas but if L2 is used and transactions are batched, that's negligible.

If your quota has insufficient Ether or you've deauthorized the contract, your "subscription" will be cancelled automatically.

All on-chain. This should be the way to go.
The intro speaks truth and brings back a lot of frustrating experiences:

>We may have all heard the saying “use it or lose it”. We experience it when we feel rusty in a foreign language or sports that we have not practised in a while. Practice is important to maintain skills but it is also key when learning new ones. This is a reason why many textbooks and courses feature exercises. However, the solutions to the exercises feel often overly brief, or are sometimes not available at all. Rather than an opportunity to practice the new skills, the exercises then become a source of frustration and are ignored.

You can statically link your apps just fine as long as you follow the license for the libraries you're linking (in the case of libc, the LGPL.) Before you get upset about this Windows does the same thing with their C runtime (although the license terms are different.) Ever seen the installer for it when you install another app? That's exactly what's going on.

Go nearly always does this for example (although in some version they switched to dynamically linking to glibc for the stub resolver) and you can take statically linked go binaries and copy them to totally different OSes as long as the architecture is compatible. I remember taking a copy of syncthing and copying it between my Android and a Raspberry pi at one point (or maybe it was a kindle and a raspberry pi) which run totally different OSes and it worked just fine (ignoring the Android stupidity of course.)

Hi! I'm from the other comment chain you originally posted this on. One question - how should I keep track of generated primary key IDs for future inserts? The best I could come up with is:

CREATE TRIGGER role_user_view_trigger
INSTEAD OF INSERT ON role_user_view
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
INSERT INTO role(name) VALUES(new.role_name);
INSERT INTO user(name) VALUES(new.user_name);
INSERT INTO role_user(role_id, user_id, created_at) VALUES(
(SELECT id FROM role WHERE name = new.role_name),
(SELECT id FROM user WHERE name = new.user_name),
"now"
);
END;

Full code at https://gist.github.com/bbkane/ed385787f06efe4473f3cb7a3b32c...

Do you know of a better way than those select statements (which I presume are slow) to get the IDs?

I’ve been using built in Maildir support for many years now (at least since early 2018, perhaps as early as 2013) and it works flawlessly, no extension needed. What extension are you using and why?

I get what you're saying about the implementation of the CDM internals not being documented, but to me - a MSE/EME player developer - it seems that the main chunk of the Encrypted Media Extension API does also apply when Widevine, PlayReady and so on are used.

The user-agent is still relying on the same interfaces and concepts (MediaKeySession, key id, same events, same methods, same way to persist licenses) and the application generally can work transparently without doing exceptions for each key system (well, in reality, there are a lot of compatibility bugs in a lot ot EME implementations, but those are not on purpose).

For example the server certificate concept generally does not apply to clear key implementations at all but is frequently used when using Widevine.

Clearkey is thoroughly documented because that is the only key system that SHOULD be implemented in all user agents with an EME implementation, though nobody, even the writers of that specification, think that it is a good idea for real production usage.

In my work we rely a lot on the EME specification, and refered to it many times in exchanges with our partners when we thought that their CDM implementations (e.g. on specific set-top boxes, smart tvs, game consoles etc.) lead to non-compliance to that spec (e.g. unusable keys not being properly announced etc.).

_PS: off-topic but I came across your projects and comments online many times, IIRC mostly about image encoders / decoders and on Rust (both subjects on which I love to read). That was always very interesting, thanks!_
Currently, yes, it's only really feasable for embryos. But there are instances of biohackers using gene therapy to do interesting things. For example a guy cured his lactose intolerancy temporarily by gene therapy: https://hackaday.com/2018/02/14/biohacking-lactose-intoleran.... Basically what I'm trying to say is that you don't need to reach all cells to cure something. You only need to reach the relevant cells.

>>The best publicly available evidence suggests that X-37B is practically useless, but storing it in orbit looks better than leaving it

So what if the X37B was MEANT to be 'stored' in orbit, but with the ability to payload swap/mate with a transitioning suppy X37B drone. To update HW, grab Payload, media, swap even entirety of self... and send the earlier version home?

Also, if we are familiar with the orbitals of it, do we have any idea at what its orbital levels and trajectories are? Has anyone ever captured one on telescope-cam?
Good to see this getting more attention. I got into this hobby over the pandemic, managed to self-extract a few micrograms of manganese. Hard to do much more with entry-level equipment though. If you want cobalt or selenium you need to drop at least ten grand.
Non-proven correct software doesn’t even have formal specs. Having a formal spec is already light years ahead of other software because it forces you to nail down exactly what the code is supposed to do.
I don’t oppose giving expensive fruits as gifts, but it gets weird if it also means fruits become generally unaffordable for casual/daily consumption.

If memory serves, when I stayed in Tokyo for a month some 15 or 16 years ago, I was absolutely puzzled by the lack of affordable fruit.

Besides, Japanese produce growers seem to have an unhealthy obsession with sweetness. Most Japanese fruits seem to be advertised for their sweetness, and they ARE sweet, so much so that you taste almost nothing else, not even hints of fruitiness.
Good advice, and timely. Thanks!

I mean you can put up a `.deb` with a statically linked binary on your download page right? You can also use stuff like App Image right? It's not like nobody has ever put a go binary into a .deb before.

I don't think comparing "state of packages got off of apt" to "state of downloaded installers for Mac/Windows" is an apples to apples comparison.
One of my favorite encounters with Aramaic was coming across a tiny ancient church in the middle of the desert in Syria, where the mass was conducted in Aramaic. A humbling experience to hear a basically dead language still very much alive in the middle of nowhere.

Another observation: portions of Maronite Catholic mass are conducted in Aramaic. The prayer books are typically in Aramaic and Arabic side by side.
that was my experience too. An abstraction like "add" is not less complicated than "1" if both are equally new things. The number actually gives additional features. The next instruction is called "2" while in abstraction to words it is unguessable and hard to remember: unGuessAble? un_guessable? ungu? ung?
Conflicts aren't specific to git. Git offers a history of those conflict resolutions though, which lets you correct them if they were not done right.

I used to store my DayOne journal in git, and boy, their cloud sync conflict resolution was sometimes quite destructive. Having the git history showed me that, and allowed me to correct it.

Remote workers probably should not have access to large amounts of PII/financial data/etc. in the first place!

There seem to be a few separate issues with remote work:

1. Identification of real people (solvable with SSI's Verifiable Credentials or a traditional KYC company)

2. Employee holding multiple remote jobs (solvable by focusing on productive output rather than number of hours worked)

3. If rogue employee gets 20 jobs they only need to 'work' unproductively for a short time before getting fired. (solution? maybe reduced pay for initial months with the following months of employment overpaying until initial underpayment is made up?)
> the money seems to come back around, but that's an accounting trick

It’s also a sociological trick. Societies support massive military R&D in ways that are impossible for public projects. We could wish upon a star that humans weren’t as we are. Or we can work with reality.

> Consider avoiding the entire formatting arguments as part of the code review process.

That is not going to help me if people send code to review that has formatting problems. We catch a lot of stuff using automated tools, but there's some stuff that you cannot catch. Some people declare every variable as global rather than private, and then I have to follow up with "This variable/constant should be private, any reason you marked it as external?" etc.

You can't just automate everything, and we also have our own specific code formatting guidelines that a lot of tools don't automatically detect by default. I have raised some of these points to our toolchain and engineer productivity teams but it's not my job to dig deep into our tooling and automation so until there's better support in our internal tools (we don't use github + actions) to detect that, I'll keep pointing out any formatting mishap that gets through our linters.
I used to work for a utility company. Almost every fraud included walking into a Duane reed and filling a green dot card. Every time I see one I just think of all those poor people.

I had to switch to evolution for my work computer because the company uses Exchange accounts and at least with the setup we have, it's not supported in Thunderbird on Linux. Supposedly there's a paid add-on that does this, but even if I was willing to pay for it, I wouldn't know beforehand if it actually works.

Evolution supports exchange properly, by contrast (well, I did have to ask my boss to whitelist an app id somewhere in the server settings, but that was no problem).

After some initial adjustment, I find evolution equally as capable as thunderbird. Both don't necessarily win design prizes (well maybe this new version of thunderbird does, but certainly not the old one), but if that was important to me, I wouldn't use Linux. :) I would even say that I prefer the calendar integration in evolution.

I understand your concern, and appreciate the explanation you provided. I respectfully disagree in so far as in the United States, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Your interpretation that this requires the bearers to be part of a 'well regulated militia' has not been the interpretation of the appellate courts nor the supreme court. Definitions change over time, and 'well regulated' meant 'well equipped' and 'militia' was the entire body of males able to fight. More to the point, however, the appellate courts and the supreme court state that the key part of this is 'the people' and not the explanation as to why the right exists.

I absolutely believe you have the right to have your opinion that guns are dangerous, and that we need to do something about them. At this time, however, that will require changing the US Constitution and I believe that is not likely to happen in the future. There are only a few ways for the constitution to be changed, and getting this changed as an amendment is likely never to happen and calling for a constitutional convention could result in massive changes across the board that noone can imagine right now.

I believe most projects that serve debs from their own download page do not try to package for each distro separately, and instead opt to package up requirements as needed.

I can't comment deeply on deb vs rpm, it is kinda disappointing that we have this split, and I don't know if there's a great way to merge it back.

Mac does have a good distribution story. This also exists on Linux in the form of app images. The one missing piece is that Mac has the Applications convention. AppImageLauncher[0] solves this, but really it would be good for Gnome/KDE to just integrate this concept. That gives the (important!) "have the application show up in the application launcher" option.

I do not believe one could qualify Windows programs as being distributed as a single binary. A single installer, perhaps! But many Windows programs dump files all over your file tree to do things, and then goes to touch stuff in your registry. There's a reason we have "portable executables" for windows as its own download option!

If Linux distros implemented every feature "new users" wanted then you would end up with something nearly identical to ChromiumOS (and those same users would probably just run ChromeOS.) If you want that then go run that.

Why not speak to them in both? If they're near adulthood already it might be too late, but if they're young kids are basically sponges for languages. And growing up bilingual makes it much, much easier for them to learn a third language down the line if they ever want to.

Speaking to them in your native tongue isn't going to make them worse at English if they're growing up in an English-speaking environment.
