Federal and state agencies communicate all the time. It’s much easier going from the federal level down to the state level and local level.

It’s not that it takes a lot of effort per person to update the DMV and voter records it’s dumb specifically because most government agencies are automatically updated. So essentially this is just wasting 330 million peoples time for absolutely zero benefit.
I did the same with a ZX81 that a friend's father owned. We felt like kings.
Thanks for the input. I'll make some previously unstated assumptions, which I should have sent in the first post:

1. the db file is not publicly accessible. it is accessible only to some private application
2. user data is inside the database
3. the application passes some configuration in before the query runs (a la https://www.graphile.org/postgraphile/security/#how-it-works)
4. that configuration identifies the user through some downstream `check constraint` implementation, which currently doesn't exist :)

These assumptions are consistent with your second paragraph, which is my goal.

According to my company's upper management and their push for everyone to become "full stack", it means "someone who can write front-end code in one language, back-end code in another language, container configurations, handle all deployments, and generally do literally everything from start to never-finished in every language and framework we use; that way we can fire employees dedicated to specific tech and just pay one team their current salaries to do it all".
Pretty sad that instead of using electric drivetrains to make cars more efficient they are being used to make them even bigger, more powerful and less efficient.

And adding noise artificially should be made illegal. I am generally pretty peaceful but sometimes I feel a strong urge to shoot at the idiots who have to go through my street at five in the morning with bikes and cars with open pipes.
The only way to avoid that is to not have tests.

If what I'm reading below is true—that this represents an almost-production concept—then this is a very good-looking production car: it takes some design risks and has surface work that's unusually good for a mass-market vehicle.

The aperture through the grill, the dimensionality of the rear lights, the seamlessness of the body and glass, the "weight" of the C pillar.

It feels like someone hot-rodded a Rolls Royce, and I like it.
And I think most people who don't write tests in code work that way anyway, just manually -- they F5 the page, or run the code some other way.

But the end result of writing tests is often that you create a lot of testing tied to what should be implementation details of the code.

E.g. to write "more testable" code, some people advocate making very small functions. But the public API doesn't change. So if you test only the internal functions, you're just making it harder to refractor.
this simple/complex thing isn't actually a spectrum in anything but an over-simplified view.

In reality, many technical and mathematical advances have come out of countries that aren't democracies.

It would be a mistake to think Russia doesn't have highly advanced technical capabilities, for example. It successfully developed nuclear weapons before many democratic societies could have.
...cool story...

But I'm kinda going to wait to believe it until someone tries to reproduce it. Should be simple enough, just get some old old laptops, and play a sine wave sweep until they do something. Get on it, science clickbait youtubers!
That's a fair point, but to me it's the gimmicky "synthetic engine noise" that makes absolutely no sense. It's a bridge for people stuck in the past on gas cars that helps better map to their mental model of a good car, and will be gone in 10-20 years.
Helping with climate change is a terrific topic. One might consider several approaches, all aimed at reducing climate change; I like to think in terms of stocks and flows, and the valves in that circuit. That is, stocks of carbon in the atmosphere as a large part of the climate issue, the flows of carbon, and what controls those flows.

Nature already does its part in those flows, for instance, enormous stocks of carbon (methane) locked in permafrost which, owing to climate change, isn't so frosty anymore.

Humans take care of the rest.

So, in terms of OSS contributions to that scene, one can explore all manner of technology related to controlling those flows, or one can explore technology which will help humans get beyond their feuding, greed, and, dare I say "ignorance" as a means of coming to grips with the human part of the equation.

I'm working with a few developers in that space; we have chosen to explore ways by which humans can actually learn how to hold civil conversations about matters that really matter. We chose to use game mechanics, guild social dynamics, and "epic quests" to engage possibly enormous numbers of people in conversation. We have a github repo and a low-key landing page for the project at [1]. This is a project which, for the time being, uses Javascript for both the front and backside, but which will eventually include an AI-augmented ecosystem to assist in conversation analysis.

Our demo platform is still an engineering prototype, by no means an MVP.

Possibly not all credit cards. We have the same in Romania - a lot of credit cards come with the option to pay in interest free (few installments) or sometimes interest bearing (more installments) installments. Sometimes at participating retailers, sometimes you just click on something in the bank's site.

Your spending limit is reduced by the whole amount but those interest free installments can be useful. Esp when you get 12-24 for stuff like TVs or furniture.

Other than that option, they act like normal credit cards. Pay next month, minimum payment, huge interest if you don't pay them in full, can contest any transaction, yadda yadda.
Does this mean I can have a "charger charger" in my house?
I actually like Apple Pay for the extra security it provides. At least in the US, there’s non-negligible chance that your card can be skimmed (happened to me before). Using Apple Pay feels much more secure, though come to think of it, I don’t have a real proof that it is.
fwiw, turning on your spellchecker would enhance your comments greatly.
yes, but it will only recompile the code in the module. All the dependents will already be compiled.

FedNow is only allowing depository institutions to participate and layers on top of them. The base price for a transfer might five cents, but I'd expect the bank to charge a fee on top of that. And if this scenario is a customer paying at a store, either online or not, there's almost certainly going to be another middle man (or multiple) between the merchant and the depository institution. Each of which will have its own set of fees, and one of which is likely to be a % of the transaction.

Basically you get a similar cost.
I mean... we still use physical signatures, too. Old habits die hard.

But I suspect this has a lot more to do with proving that you are explicitly representing yourself to them as a member of the organization; not proving that you actually are part of the organization.
Leftist in the sense of those who are more worried about supporting social/cultural topics than anything else. The kind who care more about if a company "supports" LGBTQIAP+ rights and "fighting" climate change than if the company supports unionizing and profit sharing. Social leftists rather than economic leftists. When most people say "left wing" in reference to the U.S. that is what they mean. Granted there are many leftists who are both, but not as many as an economic leftist would like. The Venn diagram is not a circle.
I'm not an expert in this area. But a fairer comparison would be a US service like Venmo. In my experience Fraudulent payments with venmo are much harder to recover.

I think a lot of fraud prevention tech can reasonably be done in a matter of seconds. FedNow also proposes to be domestic only for the time being, which means the recipient accounts are in US jurisdiction and easier to shut down and prosecute. Finally, there's no reason a wait-period/cooldown can't be implemented in another layer.

This is huge for me. I went down the path of trying to build an entire API on CF Workers and the biggest stumbling block was no easy access to external relational databases due to a lack of v8 compatible connectors. This was before the D1 announcement of course.

Please do! I would buy you a coffee or similar for doing so. Likewise if someone wants to create and maintain a Wikipedia page listing instant payment systems and their details (because FiServ keeps taking down their marketing enumerating this information while also excluding it back from Wayback Machine[1]), I'd be willing to throw some fiat at that.

> Have you ever watched Seinfeld?

There's a good chance that people from other countries (which is most of the world) haven't. I only knew that show existed because of a TVTropes page (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SeinfeldIsUnfunn...), and that page is the only thing I'd seen about that show until today.
Areal density rather than volumetric density will continue to be the most relevant basis for comparison as long as chips are still being fabricated on wafers with a fixed total area. Flash memory has been 3D for years but the important density measurement correlated to cost is still Gbit/mm^2.
Many of these DWR are integrated into the fabric but Nikwax sell some good environmentally friendly wash-in DWR. They also have a well reputed waterproof clothing line called Paramo which uses these coatings along with some other tricks.
> And TDD is even worse, because it is equivalent to designing a complex system purely from the bottom up, in miniature steps. [emphasis added]

What fool uses TDD to design? The second "D" is "Development". If people want to act foolishly, let them. Then come in later and make money cleaning up their mess.
I would love to have such a knob be mapped to speed up or slow down/rewind any video or podcast I'm watching or editing on the fly. Unfortunately no software would ever support this, someone would have had to standardized it 20 years ago first.
No, cubic mm makes no sense because transistors are created on the surface of the wafer. It's surface area that matters. You can't get more transistors by using a thicker wafer.
I think TDD is great in the ideal, but in reality I have only worked on legacy systems where TDD was not practiced from the start. Such systems are hard to fit TDD style tests into because modifying existing code often requires large refactoring to properly inject dependencies and create seams for testing. The catch-22 is that refactoring itself is prone to breaking things without sufficient testing.

As a result, I often try to fit my tests into these existing systems rather than starting with the test and refactor the code under test to fit that shape. The only resource I've seen for dealing with this issue is the advice in the book "Working Effectively with Legacy Code", to write larger system tests first so you can safely refactor the code at a lower level. Still, that's a daunting amount of work when it's ultimately much easier for me to just make the change and move on.
Well, I guess those Christian and Persian refugees missed out on all the great things that happened that the majority of the population wanted to have happen. I am sure they are wishing they could have been there for those changes.
I disagree. Language does matter for long term maintenance. For instance with a tax rebate.

Static typing - a fancy language feature - can immediately tell you the function deals with money. +1 for maintenance. Static typing with a solid IDE will immediately reveal everywhere the function is used. +1.

Languages shepherd you into certain designs or mistakes by making some things easier than others, such as when class inheritance can be easily abused in OO languages, cryptic one liners are easy in Perl, point-free cleverness in Haskell, monkey patching in dynamic languages, etc. +/-1 depending.

Per documentation, languages come with tools and best practices: Javadoc, Godoc, Rustdoc; C# even has a dedicated comment syntax for documentation - a fancy language feature. +1. No one does documentation, until the language tooling forces them to.

That said, BG (Before Git) and widespread use of source control, as in '96 to '02, was a dark age. We know more now.
The "right" way to use Julia is to connect to a REPL. Once you pay the cost of compiling, it's insanely fast. As long as you keep your REPL open your compilations will remain valid and cached, and you won't have to repay the cost of compilation until you restart your REPL (which you should do very rarely).

There's a well-known concept in Julia, [time-to-first-plot](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/time-to-first-plot-clarifi...), which encapsulates the large lag the first time you call a function. But there is no such thing as time-to-second-plot — the second plot is always fast.
Older adults of today can be quite tech savvy! In both my research and research from similar labs, the actual programming of a self-fitting hearing aid is completed with a high success rate ( >90% ).

Probably filippo should update this software to notice if the only identities presented were from FIDO authenticators and, if so, modify this message to explain the reduced risk

Note that although it's likely yours always requires a presence check (e.g. touch sensor), OpenSSH does not by default tell FIDO authenticators that it insists on UP (User Present) and so they are entitled (but few do since WebAuthn always asks for UP) to allow the signature to proceed immediately without a presence check so long as they don't set the UP bitflag in their signed response.

I think Fillipo's server can tell the client "I want UP" to check this, but I'm not sure and if few people do that I bet somebody already made a client which gets it wrong.

[[ Because the flags are signed, even though UP is a single bit flag you can't forge it ]]
The truth and the fact is that it already has and only a few crypto projects are compliant with the ISO 20020 standard such as XRP (RippleNet), Algorand, Stellar Network, etc which are becoming compliant with the standard to be used for that use case.

The furthest and the most compliant crypto project compatible with the ISO 20020 standard which fits this use-case so far is XRP.

That's not the place to explain it. If they're going to require user intervention on updates, the place to do it is during the pacman -Syu itself. Better yet have a shell script that'll fix it automatically and give the end user the ability to read the source before execution.
If you distribute a key revocation list to your servers, it will override anything in anyone's authorized_keys file (on that server of course).

We've got input-heavy UIs, the one I'm working on right now is a single window with >150 input fields including multiple child tables up to levels 3 deep with their own grids.

I went through this transition in the late 2000’s, moving grid and form heavy delphi windows screens to webpages, using ExtJS, the only framework at the time which kind of sort of could do this.

The process made me realise two things:

1. if you try to map information-dense UI’s like that to the web, it will cost more to develop and the UX will be worse. (we saw double the dev cost and a slower and more cumbersome ui)

2. in most cases information-dense UI like that is bad design and should be avoided. I couldn’t see it back then how things could be done differently to make screens less dense, but looking back there were plenty of ways.

Taking initiative comes from personality and motivation, not management directive. Do your team members have the ability to take initiative? Or did you get a group of juniors who can’t do much more than take direction? Years of school trains people to follow directions, do as they are told, not think for themselves. What rewards can you offer for those who do take initiative? Do they risk criticism or worse if they do? Do they have agency in their roles? Do they have any reason, financial or otherwise, to invest their effort in trying more?

I'd never seen that Line of Death article, but it seems like a useful heuristic. Thanks for sharing.
There is a constant need of OTP for every transaction. That sms says again and again Do not share it with anybody or, something similar to that. Instant transfers are only from bank to bank accounts, and not to any personal wallets. Banks have strict KYC requirements to get the documents again every few years. So whoever account is getting the money, bank gas most of their information.

So even after all those multiple warnings, if somebody gets frauded (which happens, because people get greedy, they pay a small amount to get a bigger prize, or a work from home job etc scams), police in some places now have IT Crime cell, which follows up with banks and try to recover the money. No guarantee. But there is no constant stream of fraud anymore thatln what happens here in US with people who fall for scams.
Ah thanks for the pointer!
No offence, but I would rather suggest improving your reading skills. Books don't have newlines or spacing, mostly: do you have issues reading a novel as well? That would be a major problem. But I bet you don't have any issues reading books, because this demand of spacing is a lot stronger among US readers and I bet is mostly cultural rather than a real issue.
ssh-compile is my script... It's basically this:

#!/bin/sh
SSH_DIR="/Users/nvahalik/.ssh/config.d/"
echo "" > ~/.ssh/config
for i in `ls "${SSH_DIR}"`; do
echo "# ${SSH_DIR}${i}" >> ~/.ssh/config
cat "${SSH_DIR}${i}" >> ~/.ssh/config
echo "\n" >> ~/.ssh/config
done;
chmod 644 ~/.ssh/config
That would not solve much. Different types of transistors take different surface areas, so it would not prevent different companies using different references. Also, they can very well have a high-density library for benchmarks that can be quite different from what they can do when they actually need the thing to work.

The solution is simple: treat their numbers as brands. A Core i9 is generally better than an i3 of the same generation, but where a Ryzen 5 is compared to that is anyone’s guess (depends on the exact models, generations, etc).

Node sizes have had nothing to do with a characteristic length for quite a while now, that ship has sailed.
