> blockchain tech has shown to be reliable when it comes to security

Seriously? You would trust billions of dollars to this?

https://web3isgoinggreat.com/?theme=hack

To be clear, the cryptographic underpinnings of blockchain seem solid, it's just that both implementations and actual usage are by fallible humans. And because everything is irreversible, even if you manage to guard against hackers, you still can straight up incinerate money by (say) mistyping a receiving account number (wallet).
The UK (again) has significant legal protections for credit that mean the credit card company is jointly liable for the debt in some circumstances

And the advice for customers is often to buy mid-to-high value items using a credit card for this reason. If you order £10k of furniture for your new home from an online retailer that goes bust before delivery and you paid by credit card then you might well have a claim against your card provider instead for example.

Of course the direct connection between whether you have certain consumer protections by law and whether you technically paid on credit doesn't actually make much sense today and mostly exists for historical reasons. The corresponding risk created for card companies also contributes to the raw deal that merchants get in the terms for accepting card payments, which is a drag on the whole economy.
I'd bet on it being too hard for evolution to put eyes far away from the brain. The eyes are basically a part of the brain in every species, the optical nerve is so thick and does signal processing midway, I don't think our genes has a concept for dragging more optical nerves around the body or extending it etc.

Maybe with some more billion years of evolution our DNA would create more abstractions, like how to generalize optical nerve paths and not just touch/muscle etc, but as we are now it seems like the logic isn't there. Such a thick nerve bundle would need to get added to the spine with everything else, or risk getting pinched and disabled just by moving around, but for now it seems like the spine abstraction doesn't support optical data.
For those who don't know, Thomas Aquinas has a reputation of having tricky to read handwriting https://www.reddit.com/r/latin/comments/mbbjcw/this_is_said_... (I remember trying to find some description of his shorthand/writing style, but couldn't find anything - people love talking about how hard it is to read but never try explain how to read it...), but more generally medieval manuscripts have a large number of shorthandy abbreviations which throw up lots of problems for naive OCR-ing/reading, even if you know the language in question.
> Not particularly, because who's to say that "cop AI" doesn't screw over humanity in its attempts to shut down an AI it's deemed "suspicious"?

In the cliche sci-fi story version of this, the cop AI simply realizes eliminating humanity is the only way to cut "bad" AIs off at the source.
>I thought it was clear.

>An application means any application.

This is a "actively exploited" zero day bug which means there would be specific applications written to exploit this bug. Which application(s) did that? Who specifically crafted their application to exploit the OS X kernel?
I wonder how the IPCC defines capitalism. People are allowed to have property? I think there's a fair argument that we don't have capitalism, given the central planning committees deciding interest rates in the West. More like pseudo-market corporate-socialism.

There is a strong argument for voter-verifiable paper records of voting machines, which give the ability to spot check results. There are better ways to move forward for a better system, and better protections of democracy, for those that are really about that and want to maintain it. Problem is, it appears not everyone really wants a fair democratic process or fair elections, and knowingly faulty systems can be a means to an end.
I love Apple history and Apple, mostly because buying serial number 79 Apple II and then years later buying a Mac when they first became available were career changers for me, but for a weird reason: both had, given the hardware limitations, good Lisp programming environments and it was a game changer to hack Lisp at home until I got more professional Common Lisp work.
No, not more than AOSP and self hosting. And the difference between Google and Apple is negligible compared to the difference between Apple and DIY.

Sucking slightly less data out of your customers doesn't make you a privacy company.
I've never had issues ordering glasses from Zenni and I think Warby Parker too, you can just put in whatever values you want. Contact lenses on the other hand are regulated, I have to get those from overseas without a prescription.

I love WireGuard but the process was entirely manual. Generate the key, the config file, have the person install it, import config, etc.

Yeah same this is one thing about Miami that is a bit obnoxious, I'm just minding my own business blowing off steam at happy hour somewhere and like so many normal city bar type spots have like a DJ set up and I wanna be like "hello sir or madam, my phone decibel meter indicates that this is way too loud." ~points to spectrogram on phone screen flashing 97~
The danger there is that there is more to it than just pressure.

Many of the defaults, at least for me, actually make it much harder. Like, my machine by default ramps up the pressure slowly... which I find quite uncomfortable... I am on the higher end of the pressure range.

I run in APAP mode, with a rather narrow range of 17-20. (20 is the most typical machines can run.. some bipaps can go up to 25). Anything below about 15 feels like I'm breathing through a straw.

Humidity setup is quite important as well, and often paradoxical (lower setting = effectively more humidity, as water capacity is limited and on higher settings pretty much all of the water is used in the first couple of hours).

Now, none of the professional people involved helped or guided me to any of that. My initial sleep stufy (in person, not home, this was ~7 years ago) came up with a static pressure of 13.5. That didn't work well at all, as stated above. That said, if I wasn't a techie, I doubt I'd have figured any of that out.

Oh yeah, I saw this one a few times both on Reddit and here with some delusion justification that we would be able to stop everyone else’s Nikes, but they couldn’t stop ours.
I have pretty bad sensoneural hearing loss, and fitted hearing aids didn't help much. Then I found Bose Hearphones[0] that I self adjusted, and they've been great! They were marketed as "conversation enhancing" but they seemed to have been a tip toe into hearing aid systems.

https://www.hearsoundly.com/guides/bose-hearphones
This is a common problem with cheaper hearing aids too. So they might not even fix it.
I feel like that not exactly the same as an alternative company.

Even if I ignore the company aspect the scale of heavy lifting there is pretty big.
You're missing the point. If you provide an API like in the example you give, put it out on the net at some domain, then in order for it to be REST, I MYST be able to access that domain, without any prior knowledge whatsoever, and make a request.

When I do that in the case you provide, I would not know anything about how to use those resources. Without any prior knowledge, I don't know what "users" are, or what a "like" is or an "unlike". In order for me to use this resource, I need documentation. Even if you provide the documentation in the response to the request, and I have to read that first, then it is NOT REST.

By the very nature of an API, it can never be REST.

Definitely will. The AirPod Pro increased ambient sound mode is great. Let’s you listen to music while walking around a city somewhat more safely.
For anyone downvoting the solid advice in the parent comment, please be aware that "cash back" has been a widely used term in some countries for getting a shop where you're paying by card to charge an extra amount to your card at the same time and give you that amount in cash. It was a popular alternative to ATM use here in the UK for a long time for example. However if you were paying using a credit card instead of a debit card then the same (often very expensive) charges and interest rates would apply as if you used your credit card to get cash at an ATM and sometimes people didn't realise that and thought it was a free and convenient way to withdraw extra cash (as it typically would have been if paying with a bank debit card instead).
Brew was the first thing to go on mine
Given that non-adherence to the Received Narrative will get you banned from social media and fired from your job, it's not that surprising that people who don't adhere to the Narrative pretend to in public.
I never said anything about alternative companies in my initial comment. I said Apple is not a privacy company, which is true.

What do you mean by "heavy lifting"?
In India, now you have to approve all such scheduled payments with a 2FA and upto a limit. So even if I have approved ShadyCorp they can't demand more than approved amount.
Very nice article. Literate programming might have some interesting features in this direction. The not so obvious thing is how it can scale.

A very good example of literate programming can be found in the fantastic book Physically Based Rendering [1]. It also has a preface discussing it [2].

The authors write a full physically-based rendering system in a declarative fashion. This approach has also led to a nicely adapted web-based version of the book [3].

Although we have successful examples like TeX and HTML, it would be very interesting to see this approach explored further by a more modern language or programming methodology.

Any chance you can give us access to the PSQL sandbox without it being attached to a tutorial. Would both be a great way to learn and also function as a productivity tool if one could fool around with PSQL "scratch pad"

I think you misread the post. They were lamenting the lack of source code for the dungeon generator.
Most of these problems were solved by Lisp-machines.
I use Free fillable forms + instructions. There are too many edge cases for software to catch. If they just cleaned up the freefillableforms.com ui to look like it's from this decade and perhaps auto-find relevant instructions, it would be the best possible tax experience.
Central installations are perfect for the current incentives: they use the same amount of T&D, for which utilities can always charge their profit margin, as long as they can convince regulators that the expenditure is justified.

Behind the meter storage is a fundamentally different beast, because it has the potential to drastically reduce T&D costs, which are the vast majority of bills (at least mine under PG&E).

Christopher Clack has some great economic modeling of the grid at a very fine level, showing that deploying a bunch of storage and solar at the grid edge right now will greatly reduce costs and enable far more utility scale installs in the future, because the local storage and solar reduces the need for T&D peaks.

This sort of cost optimization is not incentivized but anyone in the current setup, and is impossible to achieve without direct regulation to change incentives for utilities.
For the general case I'd probably agree. But at the same time if you scope it down a bit, it's already here: https://www.synthesia.io/
I programmed in Delphi for years and have done some toy things with Lazarus, so I'm painfully aware of the quality and reliability difference.

It is quite bizarre how us programmers, who make hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, are unwilling to pay $1,400 that will make us more productive.
This is probably because American restaurants are accustomed to dealing with idiots who say they want their steak "rare" because they heard that in a movie once, but become irate and send the steak back when they see a hint of pink.
I feel like I don’t understand what you mean by “a privacy company” now.

I’m guessing that is just some unreachable standard?
Ugh. Programming is not craft. It becomes craft when journeyman that haven't yet matured into being able to understand the whole system see the application of holistic approach with success and think they've reached some sort of enlightenment.

Approaching the issue of solving problems with incomplete information, they end up with circular conclusion, like the essence of programming being operating the computer.

At some point some realize that programming is modeling a domain and it's transformations into a format that is computable and then engineering starts to happen.
What would you put in the JavaScript library?

SOmething like this really needs a history generator.

Almost like you need dwarf fortress running at full speed to simulated the history and then take that as the basis of the dungeon.

Ten little snippets seems pretty superficial, the basic plot already seems to be repetitive.

The Moria/roguelikes would also be great for generation, backstory, etc
Not to mention every video game system ever.
She's widely referred to as "Liz", especially by her political opponents. "Liz" is short for "Elizabeth" the way "Ted" is short for "Theodore".
No system will ever be perfect, but it can be made harder to tamper with, like using voter-verifiable paper records with voting machines. The process of tampering can be made significantly to exponentially more difficult, if those in charge really want to safeguard democracy and fair elections.

But part of the problem is, a significant number cares not for democracy nor fair elections, and simply want their person, group, or people to win and be in charge. Faulty and vulnerable systems are a way to get what they want.
Hopefully this proves to be effective -- and hopefully it doesn't merely encourage this particular binding site to mutate more rapidly.
I don't know if this comment is serious or in jest, but making practical use of resources beyond the earth (planets, asteroids, comets) is so far off that it might as well not exist in terms of any practical policy we make today.

We seem to be in something of a "second space age" with unbridled optimism about what might be possible in a few decades time. Almost none of the predications from the 50s and 60s have turned out to be even remotely close to reality, and I'm fairly certain we'll see a repeat of that.
With Android it's actually difficult as most boilerplates go obsolete in 2-3 years.

But basically copying functionality that takes a while to build.

1. Design system [1] that's integrated with Compose. Meaning blocks are built as part of other blocks.

2. Networking and caching - these can take half a day to assemble and debug.

3. Test integration. Easily days or weeks to do on Android, because dumb stuff like some misaligned libraries.

4. Dependency injection, also harder to set up the larger code gets.

Can you say more on why your family is trying to sell their factory.

Does the Zero Covid policy or the power crisis (because of China stopping the import of coal from Australia) has anything to do with it.
Now this would be a really interesting conspiracy if true.
> Which never happens,

It has happened to me, an update broke my sound card and I didn't know until I tried to use it at a time that was extremely inconvenient to me.

> Submit a bug for a DE, and they might tell you to install the newest version to replicate it there (yet you're on Ubuntu...)

Known bugs have known work arounds, I can deal with that. What I can't deal with is surprise new bugs in cutting edge software.
My last prescription for contact lens was for a specific brand. Once I realized I wanted to go back to my last brand - I was told my current prescription didn't cover it. Instead of dealing with another appointment or calling up to complain - I just bought them from the a UK site willing to ship.

So silly.
Freefillableforms.com is almost perfect. Only problem is most people don't know it's there. Also it's a bit ugly/clunky.
Just once in my career I'd like to work on a project that resembles the original intent of agile. So far I've had 3 jobs that "did agile" and in each case there was a long list of requirements and a fixed deadline many months in the future for each "agile" project. No one wants to hear "We don't know when we will deliver X because we're working on Y this sprint".
> Secondly if this is true and you stole a bag, all you need to find the air tag would be to hold an iphone close to it for a few minutes. So what's the point of it then?

The point appears to be that someone is going to trial for theft.
No, I mean a company that actually has privacy as a core goal, rather than bolted on as marketing term that doesn't actually match reality. Signal is a privacy company in my opinion. If Signal, a non-profit, can figure out how to utilize esoteric intel opcodes to avoid storing any personal information on their services, the multi-trillion dollar Apple, who designs their own CPUs no less, should be able to figure out how not to store identifying info on their servers.

If apple needs identifying info to make their services work, that's fine, but they don't have to falsely sell themselves as a privacy company.

It's not some unreachable standard. They haven't even taken basic steps, like offering crypto payments for certain services, or utilizing on-device storage and encrypted data in the cloud, or open sourcing components that transfer user info.
I think there is a clear difference between traditional tracking devices and airtags, as the former has always been a lot more shady than the latter, which has more legitimate use-cases.
Seems like having an available 5% bonus on peak (!) usage is a huge deal, actually. Buffering shortfalls have an exponential frequency curve. I wouldn't be surprised if 5% extra generation would have been enough to cover, what, 60-90% of all brownout/failure conditions on the grid over the past few decades.

Also, too, it's a brand new technology just being rolled out, and building more capacity at the limits of factory bandwidth. You're acting like the number of powerwall users are all we're ever going have, which seems silly.
In case anyone is up at this hour I just finished a demo of 6 Romanian Folk dances by Béla Bartók.

I've included the settings used to make it in each dance in the video

I reckon these 6 songs took about 3 hours to complete. I always wanted to learn to play violin. Just too lazy to do it.
I worked with this guy who repeatedly said "There's lots of ways to do it that don't work."

I try an approach, but I run into X. I try a different approach, but I can't make it work because of Y. I try a third approach, but Z. So I ask around about a good approach - one that won't run into these issues. When I do, I'm really asking for an approach that avoids X, Y, Z, W, and however many more are out there. I'm asking for something close to a best practice.

If you buy that approaches that are free from major pitfalls are rare, then I think you and I are in agreement.
I'm not sure signing a bill that did not actually take effect (due to the people put in charge by the signer) should count as an action. I mean, sure, he moved his hand.

We'll have to wait and see if Biden's FDA will take substantive action.
Unfortunately more companies are as the op described than truly agile.

Good. CPAPs next.
It is getting tiring to hear the same lies over and over again on this site. Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence. Show me a clear proof that Apple's performance per watt is reliant to a 200% improvement on the 5nm process. Perhaps I can point you in the direction of the A13 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A13), Apple's last 7nm chip. Apple claims their subsequent 5nm node (A14) is 40% more performant than that one.
I don't see why you still wouldnt go to an audiologist if you preferred - but I imagine the tech will get good enough that a) perhaps doing it with a phone app would be sufficient b) maybe pharmacies or grocery stores will have techs to help people.
