My cheatsheet happens to be just my muscle memory. And, for applications I don't use often, mostly just intuitive guesses.

Sounds pretty messy but I've never felt the need to maintain a cheatsheet.

I don't see why one would. I know I'm possibly being naive.
Looking the repos to refute your snark, but you appear to be correct. The example given seems to be the thinnest of wrappers around the kernel C API and translates directly into the equivalent C for compilation. Does not seem like native scratch code in the kernel a la Rust.
Haha, have an upvote. :-D
You don't "update" the dependency. You are always building and releasing at head with all your internal deps (external deps are still versioned of course).

> the extra time to make multiple PRs is dwarfed by the actual update's complexity

Writing code is never the majority of the work. All the operational stuff is more complex without forced upgrades: coordinating the dependency updates, automating integration testing, pushing clients to migrate off old thick clients, determining what version of a specific repo is deployed, running a bisect to root cause issues, etc.

I don't think so. The idea is to make the wallet offline.

I does exist. Automatically checking identity is hard. Some counties apparently issued certificates to their citizens and enabled them being verified by anyone, simplifying several online businesses patterns.

More like fast lane. But eventually (30 years) probably yes.

Every country is responsible for their own part. There are going to be ETSI standards for interoperability.

The actual trouble here is that (at least in my country) the officials responsible believe that rooted phone is higher security risk than automatic updates from Chinese government.
Temperature doesn't have momentum though. More likely the temperature isn't uniform.
I can't see much of a difference compared to a passport or driver's license.

The quiet explosion in CCTV cameras across Europe is far more a threat than some unique identifier.
The EU digital covid certificate works quite nicely and I used it at multiple countries. This might be a bigger challange but still.
Hey, author here. Thank OP for considering my project interesting.
Our goal here is to experiment different ideas to capture the underlying structure of type errors. We went through a few iterations up to this day and are going to continue improving on the design, the type inference engine and various integration options. Feel free contact me if you have inquires in the Chameleon project.

eh, it’s not the end of the world if games just have to provide more than 2 hours gameplay. Steam is targeted at longer form entertainment. Just extend the story out with some puzzles or challenges that send the gameplay over 2 hours.
How about this theory. The hot water causes the freezer to run its compressor sooner. The system is nonlinear due to intentional hysteresis in thermostats, and the excess energy stored in the hot water is trivial compared to the capability of the heat pump.

Introducing hot water into a freezer rapidly raises the ambient temperature of the freezer. This causes the thermostat to click on, and the heat pump therefore runs until the ambient air drops down below the thermostat's shut off point. A lot of heat is removed very early on, and the ambient freezer temp is at its lowest going into the liquid to solid phase change.

With the cold water, the ambient air of the freezer doesn't rise nearly as much. The thermostat does n't click on until a long while later, once enough heat leaks out of the freezer. The ambient air is warmer going into the phase change.

It doesn't work if you put the two cups in the same freezer, but at least it could explain some anecdotes.
and eventually those tax reports and credit ratings will be tied to super market checkout systems. So governments can pick and choose which tax payers can eat what.

Any data that is aggregated is open to abuse by the aggregator and it will be definitely abused if the aggregator is a government body.
Just because you don't see the problem it is solving doesn't mean the problem does not exist.

Some context: I'm French, I live in Belgium. I have two e-IDs cards: one french, one belgian. When I need to identify myself, depending on the government I have to deal with, I have to use either my "FranceConnect" credentials, or my Belgian e-ID card.

When using my Belgian eID, there is a government login called CSAM, but a lot of people here use a private company called "itsme" (https://www.itsme-id.com/). ItsMe does not support Linux. CSAM does, but not every service that supports or even requires eID login here supports CSAM.

FranceConnect is even more of a mess. French government has a plethora of online services, several with their own logins and not all support FranceConnect.

Making a digital wallet won't increase surveillance... surveillance is already possible on all of this, quite easily so. What it will do is greatly simplify life for people dealing with these systems; especially for expats and new arrivals into a country, who might get stuck in the loop of "You need a bank account to get your ID" "You need an ID to open a bank account"

Not to mention all the services that do their own shitty KYC and would be better served by using automated ID checking instead. Unless you think it's better and "more private" to email a photocopy of your ID and passport to somebody who will forward it three times, save it on their computer, and share it on Slack with the tech team because there's a problem with their shitty KYC system.
Since they mention trust and wallet all the time: Bet on a government-run blockchain. What could go possibly wrong?
> What happens if I don't want to identify myself?

It is already an offence in several EU countries to fail to present official ID documents when asked by the police.

If you don't want to identity yourself the outcome will likely depend on the mood of the police office. They may give you a verbal warning and send you on your way or they may choose to arrest you until they can ascertain your identity.
Yeah that's pretty wild. I managed to fit my entire serverless stack (roughly 1.2m checks per week) into 2x 256MB VMs and 1x 512MB VM, you could run a monster server on that.
Replace 'digital ID' with 'passport' in any of your questions and you will find the answer.

> Also judging by dealing with the average citizen on a daily basis, even securing an iOS device and remembering the iCloud password is beyond their level of care.

The EU digital ID is based on EIDAS, a technology that is already in use by banks in the entire EU. You can be sure it is safe, otherwise any bank in the EU would have been hacked already.
I don't really know how this is (will be) different from the current iDin system?

This system allows one to identify him/her self via, for example, a banking app.

I realize now that I can only find Dutch links to this system, so I am assuming The Kingdom of the Netherlands is simply ahead of the EU crows?

> I’m not talking about understanding what a rebase is supposed to achieve, I’m talking about the merge conflicts than can arise while rebasing, understanding why they happen and how to deal with them.

I found it rather obvious? Git usually tells you how to deal with it, and conflict markers are easy to understand. What could be more visible is that rerere exists, as that can save you a lot of energy if you're rebasing frequently. Also, conflicts from stashes are a weird special case, which can be confusing (but so are stashes in general).

> I’m not talking about understanding what the working tree and index are, but how they interact under the various commands, what happens with the working tree and index state for example when you switch a branch, etc.

That's also obvious, and Git tells you what happens as you do this stuff too. If it couldn't switch a branch, it tells you why; if there's an uncommited change, it's listed during checkout. I don't think I'd be able to tell how various commands interact with index without having git in front of me, and yet it doesn't cause me any visible troubles (and I'm a somewhat heavy git user).

> I’m not talking about a basic understanding of what a remote is, but about how to deal with different remotes, how to have local branches, how to push/pull only some branches vs. all branches, and so on.

I don't really understand what's problematic with those. All of the things you mentioned are really basic commands. A good tutorial could easily cover it all.

There's plenty of stuff to criticize about git's UI, but I'm very surprised that this is what you found worth mentioning.
Reminds of me Aadhaar in India.
ran into this myself just today, but with Symbolics.jl instead of SymPy. I just needed an algebra scratchpad, and Symbolics was.. barren. and uninviting. I thought of reaching for Mathematica but resorted to pencil and paper, like a barbarian.

same deal with solvers more generally. the coin-or stuff (e.g. Cbc) is slow and buggy, Cplex and Gurobi are far better but very expensive. where are the PhDs in this field? what are they building?
The top tax bracket in 1913, the first year of the federal income tax as it exists today, was equivalent to ~14 million dollars at today's value.

Our wealth inequality problems could largely be solved by fixing the tax brackets (especially w.r.t. capital gains). We don't need all sorts of new taxes, certainly not a wealth tax, before fixing the obvious problem.

That being said, $500,000 should have been taxed more heavily in 1977 relative to today in a perfect world, because that amount of money was worth a lot more back then. I don't think the numbers are inflation adjusted or it would make sense to do so without a big warning.
Sounds like the BankID system they have in Norway and Denmark (maybe also Sweden?).
Well looking at Mathematica's documentaion, the notebook-like presentation of examples is definitely top notch.

On Macos Chrome you can still do hamburger menu -> More Tools -> Create Shortcut... and enable "open as window", and Chrome will create a .app file that, when you run it, opens that site as a PWA. Additionally it gets the favicon of the site by default as its app icon (you can change that) and then it shows up in the cmd-tab list as an app completely separate from Chrome. This works really nicely with Slack, especially if you're usually only in a few slack teams. Inside the PWA Chrome apps you can do cmd-N to create a new window if you want to see multiple channels / threads side-by-side from the same slack team. It's a great user experience and pretty much the only reason I keep Chrome around.

Firefox devs removed its PWA / "site-specific browser" support in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1682593 .
TBF, Git operations on repos with many small files are extraordinarily slow on Windows (probably not Git's fault, because all file operations involving many small files are slow on Windows, even copying stuff around on the desktop), so that feature is much more critical to have on Windows than Linux.
This error message is hilarious, so I tried to find where the threshold is.

Apparently it's not believable that people 115 years or older would be filing taxes.

Fully digital is bad, what if I lose my phone or my certs get somehow stolen. In Estonia we have a physical ID card with certs on it and I like that much better.
Yes, but throwaway17_17 was making a philosophical point that imperative algorithms are somehow unnecessary, an out-of-date style of teaching, or merely a compiler detail, instead of being inherent to some algorithms.

But I don't think there's a "non-imperative" quicksort algorithm. There's definitely value in preferring functional, non-mutating implementations over imperative where they make sense, but I've seen too many people pretty much claim that functional style of programming is all you need, and that's pretty much a lie IMHO.
>What happens if I don't want to identify myself?

That's already illegal in many countries. You'll be fined and possibly arrested until you can prove who you are.
TSMC

But if we're not being sardonic a holes, we should be fighting with a Democratic and free government against an autocratic dictatorship whose stated goals are to restore the 'righteous' historical vision of China as the center of the world (it's even the name as far as what I've read, not a speaker of the language: 中国).

Not only is it critical geopolitically and militarily (as in ability to control important & huge swaths of seal / trade routes), ceding ground or worse not putting up a fight at all, would be the death knell of the push for more liberal governments and more freedom.

As always on any topic of Xi or CCP there are a whole bunch of 'but whatabout america.' It's just tiring.
I'll confess I am not nearly informed enough on international relations nor nuclear security to make a judgement call here, so let me know if I'm looking at this wrong, but:

Wasn't there a big worry about the Russian siege of that one Ukrainian nuclear plant?

So, if the world at large is worried about Russia being hostile to them, doesn't nuclear energy represent a weakened security posture?

What is collateral difference here?
None of these questions are new.

Verifying your identity without a global ID is done today through a combination of primary and secondary identifiers. For example a passport and bank statement. Or a driver's license and recent tenancy agreement. So if you don't want to verify yourself using the above combination then companies and the government will simply not choose to interact with you.

And not sure if you've used a phone before. But you don't need the full iCloud password to unlock your phone and access a digital ID. You just need FaceID, TouchID or a 4/6-digit PIN.

I was looking at the repos too, not only at the linux module, but the whole "OS". Hoping for some cool scratch stuff.....but....it's just minimal wrappers.

As an aside, I think scratch is great, it's definitely not just for kids, I think it's great for anyone learning programming
Several countries in Europe have rolled their own. This system is an attempt to digitize the countries that haven't, and standardize the countries that have (and make it work EU-wide, so it works better for citizens moving between countries).
I'm involved in a group who come into contact with this. It's not about surveillance, it's about providing European governments, European economy and citizens with electronic ID in all situations without having to rely on Google/Apple/Facebook. So you can have a secure way to login to websites, with many personas, without having to share your GAF (and thus be tracked by GAF / share GAF data with yet another party).

Thales on the other hand are not what I would describe as a good actor but rather one of the "usual suspects".
Just to clarify, eIDAS is an EU regulation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EIDAS). Regulation means it's law in all EU member states.

Organisations can implement eIDAS-conforming technology to provide eID services if they get certified; e.g. our company provides such services (remote onboarding without video conference need + qualified electronic signature signing): https://www.zealid.com/en/
Excellent, and Europol is the next and worse NSA.
I observed the phenomenon growing up when I filled buckets of hot and cold water and left them outside in freezing temperatures.
All file operations involving many small files are slow on Windows, that's hardly git's fault. It can just do its best to work around the problem (for instance with this file watcher thingy).
That explicitly depends on which race.
I think this does not look totally bad. I have lots of good experiences on similar digital ID from Estonia. That just works.
Banks etc rely there on government-backed authentication.

In Finland its totally opposite. We have 10 or so banks, which all have their own authentication methods and government has outsourced authentication to banks. And every authentication costs 0,10€ (it was previously much higher amount, something like 0,70€ but it is now [since 2017] limited by law).

So, I think at least in Finland banks will be the ones who will come up with several reasons why they should not implement this new authentication method.
> Making a digital wallet won't increase surveillance... surveillance is already possible on all of this,

Sure, because a little minority of people has "the burden" of managing multiple IDs, lets tear down one firewall between citizenry and big-brother for the rest of us.

But we have already taken the hubristic step of shoving stuff into the atmosphere for years. This is firstly studying the effects as best we can as carefully as we can - there are many options - from space based to atmospheric to oceanic- and yes they may all have downsides and concerns - but this is a trade off - we know what the impacts of climate change will be (very bad) and we need to have experimental based options in our pockets in a few years.

Is this something to rush into - no. Is this something to be researched by worlds scientists to find the least worst option - yes.
> Why would a DSP assembler need access to a parallel port?

For debugging using twin probes? This isn't far-fetched, for example NASA has MAGGIE (for Curiosity, https://old.reddit.com/r/space/comments/51m2b4/meet_maggie_t...) and (Ethernet-based) OPTIMISM (for Perseverance, https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-readies-perseverance-mars...).

Honestly, I doubt that is true anymore. It's just as bad as the rest.

> To cut the signal delays, have on the moon or Mars, right where the data is collected, robots, not humans.

The robots require humans to process that data the robots collect. Thus, either the robots need to transmit that data to the nearest humans or return to the nearest humans. That takes a heck of a lot longer when the nearest humans are all the way back on Earth.

> Instead, each experiment is planned for, with the instruments designed, built, and tested, and everything done very carefully all in advance.

That advance planning is necessary specifically because of the sheer distances between the robots and the humans. Cut that distance, and suddenly you don't need nearly as much advance planning for even the most basic of experiments.

> Instead I'm talking current NASA, etc. policy, objectives, planning, etc.

And current NASA is pursuing the feasibility of space habitation for the exact reasons I've described above. They are making do with robotic exploration in the meantime, but it's a stopgap until we do manage to send humans beyond Earth and keep them there.

> I'm not buying the claims that humans are so foolish, evil, destructive, etc. that they have to plan a future on other planets.

I'm guessing you haven't been keeping up with climate science, then? Shit's kinda already fucked, in case you weren't aware.
My hypothesis: I'd say the hot water will experience faster convection which will continue even when it's cooled down because of inertia. That way the transport of heat to the outside is faster than with the cold water, which will experience slower convection.
I believe most European countries have their own solutions similar to this. e.g. in Denmark we have NemID/MitID as the way to digitally authenticate yourself to the healthcare system, your bank, etc.

If I understand correctly, this EU initiative would unify all these separate country-level identification tools into something that works EU-wide, so I can take my Danish digital ID and e.g. use it in a bank in the Netherlands.
Padlet (YC W13) Is Hiring in Singapore to Build Software for a Good Education

Each country has their own system. in NL we had DigID, and apparently now iDin (first time i hear about it). In Italy we have SPID who uses a bunch of external providers (phone companies, italian posts, internet providers, ...). The whole idea is to create an interoperable standard.
Personally I have a dim view of the companies working in this area / the working groups because so far they've not delivered anything yet have been working on it forever. You'd expect there to be a vibrant community on Github sharing Open Source implementations. Or at least speaks. Or at least something.

Also there are so many bullshitters and snake-oil merchants in this field; makes you think that most of the "security" industry is a confidence game.
You start with the imagination, then you do the research, then you choose the least bad option (politics notwithstanding)
