> Money laundering is evil.

Be careful that you do not become even worse in the attempt to fight it.

We are all engaged in a politico-technological arms race: government makes laws, people make technology that circumvents them. They must create ever more tyrannical rules in order to stop the latest technology. So what is your limit? How far will this loop continue until either criminals win or people are crushed under a totalitarian government?

> Should their activities be private? Should we just allow them to siphon money off to other countries and live the high life while their population suffer?

Should governments warrantlessly surveil everyone to prevent such things? Corrupt people getting rich off of taxpayer money sucks but I wouldn't trade away my privacy in order to prevent it.

> The fact that you can't currently have a system which provides privacy until an authority (such as the court system) demand things be unlocked

Yes, because governments, especially the USA, are notorious for respecting the rights of their own citizens not to be surveilled without reason. Right?
This is good for fetching a single item. What if you want to list resources?

Eg. List all comments of a blog?

It has to be GET /blog/:blogid/comments

Then, how about creating a new comment?

It'll be POST /blog/:blogid/comments

When both of these have the blog's hierarchy in the URL, should we take it away when fetching a single item? Or the stay consistent, we should simply do:

/blog/:blogid/comments/:commentid

It's hard.
All of the photos were from the event - those have little to do with the article too?
Intuitively, there are absolutely different forms of "intelligence". One simple example is the ability to visualize things in your head. I love the game of Chess, but no matter how many years I spend trying to visualize the board, I simply cannot "see" it in its entirety and visualize pieces moving on it. However, you look at any Grandmaster, and they will intentionally look away from the physical board in order to calculate many variations and see things more clearly, because looking at the physical board is a distraction since the pieces don't move.

I once met a guy that could draw the most amazing things, seemingly straight out of his own imagination. I asked him how he was able to do that, and he just said "I see a picture of it in my head, and I replicate it." Try as I might, I simply cannot visualize things like that. That might explain why I struggle to draw or whiteboard anything without using a visual reference.

However his evangelism for fair pay is something I really respect. I’m not sure if some Stockholm syndrome has driven people to cringe when someone is literally advocating for companies not to lay off people, or make sure that everyone get’s decent pay.

> In most projects, the first system built is barely usable. It may be too slow, too big, awkward to use, or all three. There is no alternative but to start again, smarting but smarter, and build a redesigned version in which these problems are solved. The discard and redesign may be done in one lump, or it may be done piece-by-piece. But all large-system experience shows that it will be done. Where a new system concept or new technology is used, one has to build a system to throw away, for even the best planning is not so omniscient as to get it right the first time.

> The trouble with TDD is that quite often we don't really know how our programs are going to work

From my understanding (and experience), TDD is quite the opposite. It's most useful when you don't have the spec, don't have clue how software will work in the end. TDD creates the spec, iteratively.
I can see valid reasons to delete a inaccurate and misleading statement, but this requires substitution with a link to the archived message and a public statutory countdown to a seven days grace period before any misleading public servant either publishes a formal explanation for their errant communication or is automatically forfeit the mechanism of their office. Possibly the forfeit could be incrementally enforced for graded infractions, but given the gaming culture in every reach of human responsibility I think it should be a simple and clear cut off.

This seems like the most traditional and respectful of REST way to go.

You could try a HATEOAS approach if you want to get a bit more fancy.

If you are following REST strictly there should be only objects, actions and verbs.
I got a "3M Peltor X5A" a couple years back as a "thinking cap": put on to think in thought-hostile environments.

Sure. They recognize someone who shares their values—his positions are quite typical of Cubans and Tejanos—but whose language skills are consistent with being a second generation immigrant, versus someone who speaks Spanish as window dressing for peddling white values. Cruz, moreover, is someone who has assimilated into white culture to the limited extent the GOP demands—speak English and believe in guns and capitalism—and does not hide the ball about it. Beto, by contrast, represents the strain of white culture that insists on complete assimilation while professing multiculturalism. You can have diversity, so long as it’s completely superficial and non-threatening.

My Bangla isn’t great, but I live 10 minutes away from my parents, worry what my aunties will think, and believe that my dad is right about most things. I find Trump voters quite relatable. Apart from the same skepticism of outsiders and lack of cosmopolitanism that’s nearly universal in Bangladesh, most are nice people in person. And they don’t want to teach my kids a bunch of weird things.

I came across this article today: https://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/2022/08/18/do-not-se... (“Do not see yourselves as minorities, PM Hasina tells Hindus… Please do not undermine yourselves.”) Contrast the white guy in my link above declaring himself a “racist.” No Bangladeshi would ever do that!

Actually I do. Whenever I need a small tool like a calculator for a video game or a simple GUI program for processing images, I always go for a barebones single html file web application.

The the source code is just one single html file: https://github.com/SCLeoX/integrator-visualizer/blob/master/...

Web3 isn't real, honestly. There's zero products made on it, just grifts, and what enthusiasts describe as the absolute bedrock foundations for a hypothetical new banking system (defi lending) - which is wrong anyway because banks don't want to play with collateral on a hundred different fake currencies, they just want a system to talk to each other to work with real currencies, and real money and crypto is fundamentally incompatible.

The whole thing is an embarrassing joke, and every good promised thing, from wind farms in Ghana to banking the unbanked hasn't happened as promised.
Where is your domain registrar? Are they in the US? (And are you in the US?) These folks are obviously scammers and you need to have a lawyer reach out to them.
I don't understand where/how in TDD you are allowed to switch from concrete "base case" tests to tests which probe the inductive hypothesis.

It seems that TDD can forever evade actually solving a problem in its general form, always just extending the number of concrete cases that work.

For instance, a function to measure the length of a string first works only for the case len("") == 0; the result is wrong for all else. TDD allows this to be extended into "working" in idiotic steps like len("a") == 1, but len("b") returns 0, and so on.

Also, how, in TDD, can we write a test which says "for any input not handled by the tests developed so far, I want an exception". That is to say, when I write the first test len("") == 0 and get it to pass, I don't want len("a") to return 0; I want it to throw. I could write a test for that: throws(len("a")), and it would initially fail. But I want the behavior to be entirely general, and I don't want to maintain the test when len("a") changes to returning 1.

These problems make TDD just look like a way to get useful work out of complete morons, in problem areas involving calculating functions that have finite domains that can be exhaustively tested.

As soon as you write a code that is more general: which makes more than the new test case to pass, you're leaving TDD. For instance, the test case wants len("a") == 1, but you write code such that len("b") == 1 would also pass, and len("abc") == 3 would also pass and so on. You now have a lot of useful and good behavior that is not tested. You've not had a len("abc") == 3 which went from red to green.

Once other code starts relying on len being a reliable length function, you must have left TDD behind. Code is calling len("foo.txt"), which has not been tested! How realistic is to prevent that?

At some point, a supposedly TDD-developed program must handle real-world inputs, and they could not all have been tested, because that's the reality. Only simple functions with small finite input spaces can be exhaustively tested. TDD must necessarily allow a lack of testing to creep in, and the rules for that, if any, are ad hoc.
In the discussion, no one mentioned Renga. It seems that this is one of the new solutions for BIM, with a new interesting approach to work. Now this local solution is widespread in the countries of the former USSR, but if it became an international project, Autodesk would have to think again about the development of Revit, and not just financial reports. Especially if they make the real-time collaboration functionality they promised (next year). Renga is the Figma of BIM.
> This is good for fetching a single item. What if you want to list resources?

You're just asking for one of the most basic features in resource-oriented architectures: query a collection resource with a filter predicate and possibly pagination.

GET /comments?blog=<blogId>

> Then, how about creating a new comment?

Same thing: just POST it to /comments with a relevant request document, such as

{"blog":<blogId>,"comment":<blah blah blah>}

Your POST request then receives a response with a link to the newly-created comment resource, and that's it.

> When both of these have the blog's hierarchy in the URL, should we take it away when fetching a single item?

Resources do not have a hierarchy per se. You've just been passing request parameters through the path. That's it.

> It's hard.

Not really. It's a matter of understanding that resource-based architectures just deal with resources, and not resource hierarchies which don't really exist per se.

What you mean by hierarchy is actually just passing parameters through the path, but those parameters can be passed elsewhere.
I seriously think we need a serious update to REST api urls. There is no rule that says it has to be this hard.

I would imagine something like graphql type of URL schema:

Just one more quick tip, you should probably use the unary operator "+" to convert strings to float. `parseFloat('2,000')` gives 2, which is probably not expected, while `+'2,000'` gives NaN indicating the input format is not recognized.

I live in Wanaka, from San Francisco. There's one side of the lake where there are lots of houses and hotels, where it would make sense to have a lodge like this. The side he wants to build his lodge on is the other side. People here are very particular about preserving the natural beauty, which is one consideration that went into this decision. Another consideration--which may or may not have affected this decision--is that many people are sore at Thiel for getting citizenship after just spending a few days here. The normal process take at least 8 years.
santa monica story is funny. and fun.

interesting tho if you think that certain buildings could have personalities -- oh, this is where the partiers live, hippies over there, capitalists over there, etc.

yeah - i can see the risk of creepiness from gamification, and just other stuff.

we could do something to try to set up guardrails, but lot of creepy folks out there, and others who just don't know how to act -- i.e. possibly unintentionally creepy, might be immature, just make a mistake, etc.

guardrails might be a 'School of (Apartment) Life' HOWTO Guide, with something like:

- don't go into someone's apt, or let them into yours, unless/until you know them really well
- don't be aggressive with asking about people's personal stuff -- take things slowly
- don't shit where you eat (you are free, of course, to date / break-up with, marry / divorce the people you live with / near, but we STRONGLY recommend against it -- for various reasons -- read more...)
- etc.
In this case, I think of this as more of a search endpoint than a list. What would you think about using a parameter to specify the relation? i.e.

Getting a scrolling 2D tilemap to draw was a big milestone: to get there meant I understood arrays and indirection, and those are the things you build on for most other algorithms.

The other revelation, years later, was the generality of constraint optimization as an architecture technique. Framing problems with many dependencies(time, inputs, etc) as constraint solving exercises allows them to be addressed with rank, sort and search logic.

Combine those two ideas and you have most of what's needed to make systems of great complexity...

...the downside is that there isn't too much that's essential beyond that. There are specialties with innumerable depth, but they also tend to be variations on a theme and bring in concepts that are more mathematical than nuts-and-bolts computer-logic, e.g. provability.
Well for this GNS...

1. the focus is still on human readable names and converting that to an IP.

2. the IP address seems plain text to anyone who requests it. Not a key encrypted blob.

So. Not really like what I was describing at all. Maybe it could be tweaked to behave like I wish and it could solve the other aspects of such a service already.
It's fairly new. It was announced at JuliaCon last month (early this month? I forget) that it will soon be the default recommended way to install Julia moving forward. I'm personally hugely excited about it (Julia's been my main squeeze since v0.3-alpha). They just need to work on non-interactive installs so it's easy to incorporate juliaup in a docker container (this may actually be fixed, haven't checked in a couple weeks).

Sure, but I mean it literally. For things like this there is a lot of conflation of words like happy, joy, satisfied, etc. But the natural state of the brain is neutral, so it can react when needed.

To create an emotion the brain alters brain chemistry as a way to send signals which we interpret as emotions.

It would be problematic if they could just be switched on without turning off.
Including functionality? Like including making them do what they are supposed to do? From what I recall about Delphi from years ago there is massive difference in amount of boilerplate and wiring to make stuff work.

Delphi has almost none, while most tech I have seen on web has a lot of it.
Yes, apparently chickens (and other birds) really can sleep one half of their brain at a time. In chickens, the ones roosting on the edge of the flock keep their outside eye open and sleep the other side of the brain.
Yeah, you can't exactly adjust a no longer used currency for inflation - it makes sense to me.
> If you are following REST strictly there should be only objects, actions and verbs.

Not quite. That would be a resource-based architectures much like REST, but REST dials requirements a notch higher, with stuff like adding capabiliy-discovering semantics to resources such as navigation links to related resources and operations to express it's state and state-changed, in the form of HATEOAS.

Your assumption that they don't have a trademark may not be correct. In the US (and a number of other countries), you can get common law trademark rights by using a mark even if you don't register it. It sounds like they are using the mark we are talking about. So, they may have trademark rights already.

Doesn't mean you can't use the name. Perhaps the name is generic or sufficiently descriptive of what the software does that it can't get trademark protection. Or maybe your product is so different that there wouldn't be a likelihood of confusion.

Can't answer that question in a vacuum (don't know the mark, how they are using it, how you plan to use it). But assuming they have no trademark rights is dangerous.
Are there effective best-practices to sanitize human waste for manuring?

You can start taking the Regents test as soon as you've taken the class (it's not just an exit exam). You have to have passed one math class to graduate. So, yes, this could be the step that stands between an 18-year-old and their diploma.

However, if you're on a college track, you have to take more math classes and tests than just the lowest level one. So you probably take it in 9th grade. And there are a lot of levels above "pass" to compete for. So to pass you needed to get 17/86 points on the test. But the cutoff for people who care at all about their academics is 67/86. And those who want to get into the public universities and have a good courseload there are aiming for 76/86 on all their tests.

And again those people are taking the test at 15, so they can take harder tests in subsequent years.

That said it's still inexcusably bad.
