Or even worse, you could die in a car accident tomorrow. So much for a midlife crisis, let alone happy retirement.

Obviously, throwing the future to the wind and only caring about the present is stupid, but like you say there is absolutely an argument to be made that we should make the most of the time we have right now because tomorrow isn't guaranteed.
Right, environmentalists love industrial oil palm plantations and cattle grazing.
My Motorola g9 with Chrome too. When I restarted Chrome it crashed again and again untill I finally managed to close the tab containing the blog post.

Best practices are that you really shouldn't. The potential value of human waste as an additive to growing food is (vastly) overwhelmed by the potential for pathogen spread, pharmaceutical pollution, the whole nine yards.

The longest-running project I'm aware of is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milorganite , which is similar to what you are asking, if you want to go for a deeper dive in the subject.
Early Nightwish releases were consistently classified as sympho power metal, so I'd say there's a consensus there. Sometimes people threw around more complicated labels like sympho-speed/power.
Same! I just wish the hinge was 360 degrees, using the pen looked awkward.
You certainly can write snappy ergonomic apps that do the SPA thing (the server/client scheme you mentioned). It is very popular for consumer facing apps. Unfortunately SPA's are a little bit more complicated, and it sounds like they made a mess of it. While I don't know the details, it very possible that your internal tool could have been a much more straightforward SSR app.
Genre multiplication, in metal at least, predates the Internet and Wikipedia.

What I don't get is the interest in complex tech products for complex tech products' sake. Any sort of "modern" voting device is going to have a higher barrier of entry. Even if you assume a completely non-adversarial environment, it's simply harder. How does your touchscreen machine work in a power outage? Will the minimally trained election staff bumble setup, causing long queues for the working machines? How much is the per-election cost of ownership, before it has to be replaced with a new model that doesn't run on WinXP?

In my county, we use paper ballots with a "join the lines to select a candidate" model. The ballots can be scanned quickly to tally them-- the technology is basically a large-format version of the Scantron slips they've been using in schools for 40+ years. We had a comical "audit" which ended up blowing up in the instigators' face when even their chosen super-sketchy auditors couldn't find meaningful fraud.

When this is the bar, what is the exact advantage being presented by these big ugly black-box voting machines? I never understood their appeal, especially to government bodies that are normally fairly risk-averse and perpetually underfunded.

The other side of things is perceptual: the simpler and more tangible the system is, the easier it is for people to feel like they understand and trust it. This means any system-- whether it's the old lever machines or a touchscreen is always going to start at a disadvantage versus a manually-inscribed ballot.
I'm under the impression that every worker in this company gets $80k. By every worker, I mean, including janitor as well. Is it sustainable to pay a janitor $80k/year?
> So what is your limit? How far will this loop continue until either criminals win or people are crushed under a totalitarian government?

Not only is this not my 'limit', I view the incident we are talking about as a very positive move. Traditional finance laws should be enforced in the cryptocurrency space. "But blockchain" is not a good answer to why you shouldn't have to.

They aren't even creating any more rules here! They're literally applying the exact same rules that are already applied to everyone else in every other avenue. If cryptocurrency systems can't play by those rules, then that's a cryptocurrency ecosystem problem.

> Should governments warrantlessly surveil everyone to prevent such things?

You'll note I already explicitly said no to that in the comment you're replying to. You then go on to talk about "muh privacy" in absolute terms as well. This black/white, all/nothing view of the world is part of the problem. I don't think government should be surveilling everyone all the time by default, nor do I think that we should be enabling completely untraceable large-scale money-laundering facilities that can't even be examined under appropriate warrants. There is an entire spectrum of shades of grey between those two. It may even be multi-dimensional, and the entire 'mainstream' financial system lives in there. Presenting it as only one or the other is fallacious. If blockchain systems can't support any sort of middle ground then again, that's a cryptocurrency ecosystem problem.

> Yes, because governments...

You're making the case for democratic reform here, which I am all for. Democratic reform and democratic oversight. Sounds good.
IMHO the proper action would be to put the script injection and data access capability behind a user consent prompt.

"TIKTOK WOULD LIKE TO READ THE AND MODIFY THE CONTENTS OF THIS WEBSITE - ACCEPT/DENY"

For legitimate reasons, the app can inform the user about why they need to do this and the user can accept that and even better, they can implement legitimate APIs.
Agricultural land can be pretty bad for the ecosystem, so this is probably good. The less land we farm, while maintaining food security, the better.

Go for logical structure and your query patterns.

If you plan querying blogs per organization, then make it a su resource under the organization.

If you are planning only to get a full list, go for root level blogs.

If you are planning to do both then do both :-)

I'm Irish-American and a recovering alcoholic. I'm actually surprised only 13 people drank too much from a river of free whiskey and died.
It's not a unit per se but an actual size of liquor casks, equivalent to two barrels (also a standard unit in England but is the generic term for casks in US) or fourth (1/4) of a tun (the largest liquor cask defined), although you can use them all as units.

Fun fact: hogsheads are abbreviated as hhds :)
Again, it's the circular thinking that programming is to solve problems in the domain of computers. I even quoted you the passage and everything, I understand you being full defensive but the idea is quite specific.
I am not sure human feces burn as well as herbivore manure.

Cow and horse feces look pretty different from human feces, drier and "herbal", and I would be surprised if they share the same combustive properties.

Sheep/goat/rabbit also seem naturally much drier than human tho I've never investigated their internals :)

Edit: on a second thought, cow shit is not particularly dry

> The thing is that there is no actual evidence that “single photons” exist in the electromagnetic field. That last bit is important: photons are a mathematical shorthand for dealing with emission and absorption by atomic orbitals

That is not true, unless I completely misunderstood what you are trying to say. Photons exist in contexts without any atom involved, e.g. particle/antiparticle pair creation or annihilation. The gamma photons emitted during radioactive decay have nothing to do with orbitals either.

Besides, single photons have been observed. It was an important part of the Young slits experiment. Alain Aspect’s experiments also depend on the existence of single photon pairs. How would they work if photons were not a thing?

It’s decent but nowhere half as good as OpenBSDs documentation. Not complaining but it’s just not kept up to date in some places. Use of Jails for modern containers (eg using iocage) is a good example.
That's a poor advice.

APIs are consumed by humans first. Machines don't care about your structure.

HATEOS is the part that actually doesn't matter in practice.
Just wait until the real story of Rosie the Riveter story gets more attention.

Libraries are the closest to your idea and they're generally for free.
> no SoC vendor is willing today to open their imaging algorithms.

I know at least in rPI land this is not a matter of unwillingness but inability: the GPU boot blobs are protected under copyright law by upstream licenses that do not permit distribution of the source (which is not f/oss anyway).

It’s like three vendors removed (GPU firmware author, SoC maker, board maker). I imagine the ISP situation is somewhat similar; Intel probably has licensed some of this code versus making all of it from scratch.

The firmware industry is like an alternate reality where f/oss never happened, it seems. People guard their codez as jealously as the underground blackhat scene.

Code libraries for implementing stuff in hardware (on FPGAs) is literally referred to as “IP”. The mind reels. Totally different culture over there.
> such that if you already know the answer it makes sense, but if you don’t it’s near-impossible to find out.

That was my experience, not being familiar with unix / Linux - but the https://www.openbsd.org/faq/ does go along way to bridge the gap between the man pages and “How can this OS be configured to do what I want?”.

It sounds a little like you are trying to write all the tests to the spec up front? With TDD you are still allowed to change design choices as you go and as you realise how you want it to behave. That’s why the tests are one by one. In my experience, TDD carries the most value when you really don’t know where you are going, you write the first test and you start rolling, and somehow you end up at your destination and people think you were good at writing code but actually the code was writing itself in a way as it evolved its was to completeness.
It's actually broken by RuPay cards (Rupee+Pay not Russia+Pay) which is a direct alternative to visa/MasterCard. It has like 30% market share already.

Few years back the central bank realised that depending on a foreign company for such a basic thing might not be the best idea. And they were proven right with the Russia/SWIFT episode.

Interestingly both Visa and MasterCard are currently lobbying (bribing) with the US government against RuPay
Probably start with “when code is run make sure GPU is utilised”.
How long until these apps block the URL 'inappbrowser.com' as malicious so you can't use it to see what the app is doing? :P
The paintbrushes aren’t at fault when the painter hasn’t learned the fundamentals of painting. Unity is extremely powerful.
One thing with TDD is that the code you are writing, you know, is testable. It’s also easy testable code, as it’s already written in such way. Code which isn’t written with TDD may be testable but more often than not it’s hard to test it. And code that’s hard to test will not be tested. And that’s a slippery slope.
I've never got it either. I do have to say though that the German society is super focussed on cash as a thing so I wouldn't be surprised if the associated cost of it were lower there.

It doesn't make sense to me however that the economics are ostensibly so different between e.g. Germany and France, where in the latter basically even small shops don't care. Either it's something to do with taxes like you said, or German shop's margins are razor thin.

Is money laundering evil?

It depends on your morality.

Let's assume we're talking about tax evasion: the government is telling its citizens "Give me 50% of your profit or I'll put you in jail". This is violence and it's immoral. Escaping this violence is not a crime in my book.

Let's assume we're talking about trafficking illicit substances: the government is telling its citizens "Don't trade these items with each other or I'll put you in jail". This is violence and it's immoral. Escaping this violence is not a crime in my book.

Let's assume we're talking about people corrupting politicians: this is immoral but, on top of often going unpunished in the current system - it's unfixable. The only way to reduce this occurrence is by reducing (or entirely eliminating) the power centralised in the hands of politicians so that no-one will want to corrupt them. No need to monitor all financial transactions.

Let's assume we're talking about people killing other people: this is obviously immoral. Still, pick any "legal" war initiated by government and you'll find more dead innocents than what crime cause. Are we preventing money transactions to maintain our army? And then, is tracking this ill gotten gains an efficient way of improving the situation? I think it will be largely ineffective, it's much easier to foster a society where we have private protection services that work, instead of an inefficient police force collecting a paycheck from the taxpayers regardless of performance.

When you wield an hammer everything looks like a nail - but monitoring citizens like in 1984 is a inefficient solution meant to fix symptoms of bigger problems: namely our centralisation and dependance on a central government, their monopoly to violence and their obsession with regulating our lives, certainly "for our own good" and not to exercise and maintain their power.
According to this [ https://adfontesmedia.com/download-the-media-bias-chart/ ] CNN’s website and Fox’s parent company is similarly factual, with a slight bias to their respective side.

Their TV channels on the other hand are more biased, but CNN is still more factual.

I’m sure some people will not like this, but there also seems to be a correlation between right bias and loss of factuality (and I remember reading a study that show similar things as well).

Nonetheless, it’s best to watch less biased, factual reportings.
A highly capable (open source) graph computing stack would be JanusGraph combined with Apache Cassandra (or Apache HBase).

JanusGraph is a TinkerPop provider meaning that the graph can be queried with Gremlin, a powerful graph traversal language combined with a choice of scalable, distibuted backends/persistence stores (as mentioned, Apache Cassandra or Apache HBase).

Take a closer look at both the semantic web ecosystem (i.e., RDF/SPARQL/OWL) and the labeled property graph ecosystem (Neo4J, TinkerPop, etcetera) for both open and closed source alternatives.

You could even go down the route of multi-model stacks like ArcadeDB.

Just trying to provide a quick overview of some of your options :)

Thanks! Had never heard of Milorganite. My interest is purely one of curiosity, specifically how waste might be recycled in a Mars or Moon colony. The Chinese regenerative life support project Lunar Palace 1 claims 41% nitrogen recapture from solid waste, using a "bioreactor" i.e. flippable compost bin:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuegong-1

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27912029/

It's unclear from the published results whether the crew ate food grown from this compost, or just measured the output's nitrogen content.
The intro reads like a joke... whoever wrote it has an excellent sense of comedic timing.
The important caveat, and misleading headline, here is what comes further down in the article: "Global pasture has peaked. Global cropland has not."

We still use an increasing amount of cropland to feed the animals that we're moving closer and closer together in industrial farming (that's why pasture land is decreasing).

I think many still underestimate the effect on climate change of livestock agriculture. Furthermore, livestock agriculture is one of the leading causes of the collapse of biodiversity - a crisis that will have much more dire consequences than climate change, in my opninion. Also a crisis that almost nobody is aware of presently.

Why does Grace Hopper get a pass for outright lying for decades about this?
I wouldn't say it always propels society forward. It pushes and pulls and eventually some forward momentum grows but the forward movement comes much more from basic research and eventual applications of it. Most basic research wouldn't survive with pure market capitalism at all.

We're not running out of food, but the there's a huge price we're paying for that: We're destroying nature and ecosystems. Don't ever think this comes for free.
There is no need to savage Boukreev. He is the hero of that night. It even says so in Krakauer’s book, so perhaps you should read it once more.
Yes. Two tailed test gives p=0.0854

Sounds like you’re not trying hard enough either on investors or revenue.
> I am actually coming to the conclusion that experience is better than a study. I have seen so many counter-intuitive studies that have later had huge methodological issues. In addition, a lot of studies have small sample sizes

I don’t think those are strong arguments for claiming experience is better than a study. Methodology-wise, experience doesn’t pose a hypothesis first and then tests it, and doesn’t statistically evaluate conclusions. That leads to the risk that conclusions get drawn on a few outliers or more ‘visible’ students. Sample size wise, decades of teaching or large classes will have more subjects, but they’ll be more diverse, too, and their attributes aren’t tracked well.

On the plus side, experience doesn’t feel the “publish or perish” pressure. That significantly decreases the risk one starts shouting around conclusions that aren’t fully supported by the evidence.
Browsers generally are pretty bad and have only seen minimal evolution in terms of UI/UX. There are interesting experiments running now, like the Arc Browser, but conventional ones are pretty stuck. Tab groups in Safari/Chrome were the biggest thing we got in recent years.
You got the wrong numbers for the 4004! The 4004 had just 2300 transistors in a 12 mm^2 area. So, today you can fit 3*10^8 * 12 = 3.6*10^9 transistors in that area, or 1.5 million 4004s, or 650 4004s in the area of the old transistor.

I do the same. But almost always wish I had done TDD. The times I can bring myself to git reset —-hard after I have finished exploring and then TDD it in, the code benefits. Often though I can’t bring myself to do it and I retro fit in a few tests and reorder the commit history :)
That’s one commenter. Others have chimed in countering false claims in one side. That doesn’t mean they automatically support the other side..
Forest != forest. Many of the new forests that were planted in the last few decades were basically tree factories. These forest don't help with biodiversity and don't help with CO2 capture as much as mixed forests.

It seems to me that what the FOSS world needs in order to succeed is an extreme push towards forming a class of programmers specialized in reverse engineering. We already have plenty of capable coders who have written so much useful software, but does is matter if we can't use all the hardware at our disposal? Our devices are filled to the brim with accelerators, sensors and assorted specialized hardware that we could be taking advantage of, but they are all buried behind proprietary drivers or just plain inaccessible firmware.

The long form is more flexible because it gives you the full information about the state of the app. If you don't include the blogId in the URL, the front end will not know which blog the section or comment belongs to until it has finished loading from the server... So in the case of a single-page app, you can't show a 'Go back to blog' button in the UI until the page has finished loading... Though it's trivial to do if the blogId is in the URL.

A common pattern I follow with URLs is that I sometimes allow the user to omit the final ID in the URL; in this case I do a front-end redirect to the URL with the ID of the main/default resource appended at the end - This is useful if the user account has (for example) a 'main blog' associated with it.
