A lot of people brought up scanners that auto-click links. How do these scanners deal with verification email links or unsubscribe links in general?

I mean unsubscribe links are commonly two-stage (you have to click a button on the target website), but now always. Never saw a similar two-stage verification link though.
Totally agree with this statement. In my apps, I have used magic links for desktop usage but on mobile apps, I opt for an OTP approach. Solves the same problem without the mobile email client issue.
Wow, I wish that this was around a year and a half ago. I was working on a pet project of mine to do finite element analysis on PCB Gerber files. One of the biggest stumbling blocks that I ran into was taking a 2D image parsed from a Gerber (side note: Gerber files have a really wacky yet interesting format and structure) and triangulating it. I had wanted to use DT to clean up edges and thin traces in the model but I just couldn't seem to grasp it, as interesting as the math was. It's a shame that I never finished it, maybe I will need to get back to it one of these days.
I was trying to ease the OP in, coming from Michael Crichton, not give an exhaustive list.

One of my favorite myths is that an idea can be declared false simply because the science does not yet exist to prove it true. I think we all have beliefs that have not yet been verified. The key is to let go of those beliefs when the science does show the errors in those beliefs. Myths have played an important role in helping us understand our surroundings. Certainly, though, they have often been misused and exploited.

One of the myths I learned early on was that the world was somehow created. Science tells us that this world did not always exist and formed over time in the past. So rather than getting dispelled, this idea is now both a myth of the past and a modern day fact as verified by scientific observation.

Notice that the referenced Wikipedia article very carefully does not say this myth has been dispelled by science. It uses its strongest suggestive statement to disagree with only a very narrow interpretation of the myth.

So, while we're sure the original intent of the mythology is misleading and inaccurate, we cannot rely on science to prove us right. Give it some time.
Xylitol isn't 'artificial'[1] (but it is bad for dogs). In small amounts I would be surprised if it would affect anyone negatively, I often have 5-10g in my oats, but all the sugar alcohols make your guts unhappy in large doses (I find erythritol is the worst, but sorbitol from pears is famous for doing that to babies).

> US only

Other countries have their own alternatives. For instance, here in Brazil we have the NTN-B, a federal government bond which can be bought by anyone and currently returns the inflation plus 6% (see https://www.tesourodireto.com.br/titulos/precos-e-taxas.htm which calls it "Tesouro IPCA", with IPCA being our main inflation index). And it doesn't have any "only 10k per year" limit.
Thus, if that password recovery continues to be a painful, multi-step process, rather than streamlined into an easy alternative login mechanism, those providers are basically not attuned to the way users are accessing the system.

Not all countries are experiencing high inflation at the moment.
Correct. If you're going to build something like this, why on top of Bitcoin which - as I say - is rotten to its core. With Ethereum and its L2s instant, practically-free micropayments are already a thing. With Solana even... and others I'm not particularly in to but I hear work to various degrees.

To be clear, the tech itself is interesting and broadly I remain fascinated in blockchain technologies and engaged with them to various degrees as you can see from my GitHub. But Bitcoin though? It's the oil of our time; dirty and corrupting.

Edit: to address your point about solar (which along with using mining for heating is clearly a good way of reducing direct CO2 emissions) it's only part of the problem... e-waste is another and a pretty big one at that.

They also have many hardware companies. It's almost an annual thing that some megacorp buys an Israeli hardware or semiconductor company.

We used to have a good hardware startup ecosystem in Denmark because former Giga employees had more money than they knew what to do with after Intel bought Giga in 2000. However it slowly burned out for some reason. Maybe the 2008 crisis had something to do with it.
Yes. If a strategy can only make $1m a year, you won't become a billionaire from it.
“Everything is a graph”

This is sort of an odd thing to want. You need a diversity of data structures. And BTW the acronym not withstanding, lisp represents graphs not lists.

My experience with Vite 3 has been great so far (during the alpha/beta). Any issues I had that came up during the beta were fixed or responded to in less than 12 hours. The momentum behind getting this released was pretty impressive. Patak's coordination and contributions have really pushed things along!
"Chinese" in English comes from Portuguese ("chinês"), who were some of the earliest Europeans there. -ês and -ese both come from the same Latin origin.

I hazard that words like Cantonese, etc., came either via the same route, or by back-formation to match the existing wider term "Chinese".

Interestingly, "Japanner" used to be another word for a Japanese person.

> because supply of some crypto currencies is limited, i.e. no more than 21 million bitcoins are planned to be mined in total.

But herein lies the trap. While any particular crypto currency may have limited supply, there is theoretically an infinite amount of crypto currency (people can and do create new ones out of thin air when an existing one has run its course). To top it off, these are not productive assets.

I think the issue is here is that I should have explicitly stated this was about HTTP RPC (I am steering clear of REST for a reason).

In the context of RPC, is it still impractical? It feels clearer to me, but I might just be continuing my own confusion now

> Marillion

My entire late 80's high school days were pretty much just listening to Marillion over and over again until my Walkman would wear out the cassette and I'd have to get another copy. Just something about Fish's brooding bitter anger appealed to my angsty teenage mind. Once Fish left though, they quickly moved away from what I was interest in listening to.

These days the one prog album I seem to keep going back to is "Tales From the Lush Attic" by IQ, although "Relayer" by Yes has been getting some good play lately.

> I agree with Unity's long term vision (move to .net, package manager, rendering pipelines, UI toolkit, dots). The real question for me though is if they are going to pull it off, or get derailed along the way.

I've had more time to think about this. Unity effectively has a golden goose of an ecosystem right now and they're about to murder it with boardroom bullshit. How much energy was spent on this merger that could have been redirected to doubling-down on the tech stack? Multiplayer could really use some more attention, IMO.

It's definitely not too late for them to correct course, but I've seen this path so many times I do not reserve any hope. I took a loss on my entire Unity position this morning to get out from under any future bad decisions.
Well I'm gonna stop responding because you keep editing your comments to significantly expand and make different points, so everything is a moving target. (I tinker with comments too sometimes but I am trying to keep it to just minor clarifications).

> That is not how allocating tens of billions or trillions of taxpayer dollars works in the US

Of course this is oversimplified FUD, but I was under the impression that we were talking about the relative merits and effectiveness of policies designed to result in "electrified infrastructure" and it is absolutely clear that your original assertion of tinkering with taxes does not and never has worked except as part of an actual plan.
Mathematica is a decent general-purpose language (though closed-source) and its "map the factorial function over the list" is exactly the same length as the quoted J code:

#!&/@l

It has the same "everything is a list" problem - it's really verbose at handling strings, for example, and last I checked its date-time handling was not only verbose but also [flat-out wrong](https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/q/239480/30771). But it does support the dynamism mentioned immediately below, if you use `SetDelayed` (`:=`) rather than `Set` (`=`).
Not really – you won't get into an inconsistent state when everything is reactive. One thing that might lead to catastrophe is having cyclic dependencies, but reasonable runtime/compiler can detect those.
And example of "borrowing against the future to kickstart today"? Pretty much all businesses borrow to grow. All governments borrow, especially in times of need. Pretty much all people borrow to buy a home.

While all the fancy math is great for drawing geometric shapes, human intuition and basic arithmetic run the economy; human intuition for quantity has been evolving for millions of years whereas our fancy languages are only 5,000 years old (so says historians). We annotate our arithmetic operators differently for calculus and the rest of higher level math, but at the end of the day with only 13% of the adult public possessing an “advanced degree” most people make pretty basic arithmetical decisions.

Smart people used their education to get ahead but the rest of the world has caught up and caught on as <50% believe in higher powers now; elites are just people, not specials to be kowtowed by.

So what’s happened is again elites tried to form concrete agency habits into the masses (like religion did) but the masses agency does not concretely conform to rigid mathematical objects and the elites are now out of touch; either by stubbornness or age, they can’t handle they’re the ones losing ground all this time.

So they tinker with official math to keep us in line: https://www.nytimes.com/1997/02/27/business/job-insecurity-o...

So in the end economic policy was always politically motivated power consolidation for the elites, and the public, probably thanks to the meta awareness of our communities the internet provides, has caught onto the big picture game. Like Assange said; only the highly numerate will be able to see. I like to think it’s because such minds are not as swayed by cable group think.

So here we are saving like the Fed said and emotionally normalizing to a recession coming because that’s what we talk about, and so we’ll create a self fulfilling prophecy of it because like the number say, only 13% have an advanced degree; the masses will go along with Jerome Powell and the cable news channels telling them; stop spending, save, because a recession is coming. And stopping that simple arithmetic spending at scale will trigger a recession.

Subs will get cut to services. Services die off. What’s left is the new “real economy”, and off we go again. Conveniently not giving a toss about general public who got hurt while the elites look smart for getting us to believe they saw the future, and ignore that listening to them really just modified our economics behavior to make it all true.

No part of that dual mandate requires pumping up the markets.

Unemployment is at record low. Inflation is at record high. Then why these measly hikes? Inflation has been in an uptrend for 18 months. Unemployment has been robust for nearly a year.

Current federal rates? 150bps.

The dual mandate has been overtaken by Wall Street addicted to the cheap money punch bowl.
The consumer price index on the island has gone from $100 for the basket of one book, to $80 for the same basket, causing an increase in the measured value of currency equal and opposite to the decline in the price of the good. If you made the CPI more realistic by including other goods on the island, this website would show the dollar go up as the stock market (of booksellers with an interest in book prices) went down.
Yes, that is because in FP you limit yourself in what you are allowed to do. You refrain from doing things like mutating state. In OOP you do it all the time and that breaks assumptions about functions. If you then want to do something FP inside that OOP code, you will get impure functions, which do not compose well, because whatever part of the system you interact with from your FP part, you will have lots of side effects being triggered.

> The harder a service is to cancel, the more unlikely I am to ever re-subscribe.

Adobe’s subscriptions are hell to cancel. It’s easier to cancel the credit card via the bank.

Btw, some time ago I was kinda shocked when Digital Ocean was able to charge an expired card of mine, multiple times.

The card had expired, and I had renewed it, but I didn’t have access to the DO account anymore, so I couldn’t update the card info. Somehow DO was still able to charge the expired card, and since I couldn’t access my account (and support wasn’t super helpful either), I had to contest the charge via the bank, about 5 times, until they finally cancelled the subscription and account.
Jet fuel is a fuel oil more like kerosene. High octane aviation fuel is for piston engine aircraft like a Cessna or a p-51.

There are actually very strict regulations on the maximum amount of biodiesel (fatty acid methyl esters) allowed in jet fuel. They are much more prone to microbial blooms than petroleum based fuel oils and the fungal films can clog filters, starving an engine.
As it's been mentioned, that's pretty much R. Unfortunately if you need to do anything that can't be coerced into a dataframe it's quite ugly.
For a few more details, US refinery capacity is down 5% or 1 million barrels per day from pre-COVID figures, so once the economy started unfreezing from that demand exceeded supply. Worldwide it's 3 million bpd. For the US, a significant part of the loss in distillate production was being made up by imports from Russia, which of course have been ended by sanctions.

Aside from undoing the sanctions, there's physically no way to fix this in the medium term aside from demand destruction from a recession or worse. In the medium to long term oil companies are not going to make major investments that will never be paid back because of anti-fossil fuel policies.
Here’s the issue:

/api/v1/employees/<employee_id>

These URLs, which philosophically we’re trying to convince each other are opaque resource identifiers, are actually structured requests.

There is an API being provided, specifying how to craft the URL, among other things. It’s not a “resource” at all, it’s a function call, and the difference becomes extremely evident as soon as you start needing to add variations to the request using query parameters.

Good APIs have few nouns and many verbs. That’s exactly the opposite of REST, which says you should have many nouns (URLs) and few verbs (HTTP methods).

REST is a misguided idea that an academic had years ago. It doesn’t work well and it certainly doesn’t represent some philosophical ideal. We should stop pursuing it.
That's true, but I am not aware of any wealth indices, only price indices, and price indices can only increase and decrease relative to each other.
I never understood that logic. Like, why would risky assets rise their prices when central banks are paying more interest?

John Allen Paulos describes this in his book, Innumeracy.

(Excellent book, by the way)
I appreciate the kind words, thank you.

I've said it in other responses, but maybe I should have been specific that I was referring to HTTP RPC (explicitly not citing REST for a reason).

Perhaps a combination of both is best, but in my experience a nice clean break between these 2 layers at the protocol level helps clients simplify their handling of responses.

2xx: Go ahead and parse (another commenter pointed out Content-Type. That one always gets me)

4xx/5xx: Something bad happened and the request wasn't processed by the server, either because it blew up (5xx) or because you did something _very_ wrong (4xx)

The objective is clarity to the caller.

It's a little obtuse but I think it works well with that objective in mind.

Baroque music is often highly repetitive (even fugues are a form of material repetition!) - I would think there was a distinct trend from the 1600s to the mid 1900s where classical music became more and more through composed, until minimalism became suddenly popular.

Vast majority.
To be clear - all of the items you've listed would probably fall into the "owner is abusing the renter" category.

I'm becoming more and more hostile to "we've sold you product that has a little man inside who only obeys us" style approach, and to tackle your software example - I find it just as hostile there (I actually refuse to purchase Apple products because you absolutely do not own any device you've purchased from them).

I'll pay for a subscription service that has a genuine recurring cost for the company (ex: I'm using their networks and servers to process data as part of that subscription). But this new world where companies try to make you pay a subscription to get access to static content (or in this case: literal hardware) that lives nowhere except on devices you own is not something I find morally or ethically acceptable.

Frankly - my strong opinion at this point is: If I own a device, I legally must be provided with a key to EVERY lock the device has: physical or digital. No more "you own the phone, but we kept the keys" or in this exact case: "you own the seat heater, but we kept the on/off switch"

Would you think it's acceptable to have BMW stop providing you the ignition and door keys? "Just call us up and we'll unlock the car! (for a small subscription charge)" fuck that horseshit. That's no ownership, that's servitude.
Yes, when there are both buyers and sellers (which is the definition of a market that clears), there will always be a number of trades that were right, and an equal number that were wrong.
You have to be careful not to do anything illegal with that approach.
