Here's an example of how I'm using it. Basically to log part of the response body to API requests.

log_format main '$remote_addr - - [$time_local] "$request" '
'$status $body_bytes_sent "$host" '
'"$http_user_agent" $http_content_length $request_time '
'"$resp_body" *$connection $connection_requests';

server {
set $resp_body "";
location ~ "^/api/v1/...$" {
# Append response to resp_body until it reaches max_len.
# - ngx.arg[1] is input chunk.
# - ngx.arg[2] is eof flag (response is done).
# - ngx.ctx.resp_body holds partial result between calls
# - ngx.var.resp_body holds final result.

local max_len = 256
local resp_body = (ngx.ctx.resp_body or "")
if string.len(resp_body) <= max_len then
resp_body = resp_body .. string.sub(ngx.arg[1], 1, max_len)
ngx.ctx.resp_body = string.sub(resp_body, 1, max_len)
end
if ngx.arg[2] then
ngx.var.resp_body = ngx.ctx.resp_body

But there are many scenarios where being able to extend the HTTP server via Lua is more convenient than writing a plugin I would think?

I've also used Lua in the past with haproxy and with Redis. It's a powerful, performant, light-weight, and flexible escape hatch/extension mechanism.
My dad buying Flight Simulator 95 and a joystick instilled in me a lifelong joy for aviation. I'll never forget taking off from Meigs Field and cruising around an accurate representation (for the time) of Chicago. Buzzing Sears Tower. Running through the tutorials and learning how to properly take off and land in everything from a Cessna to a 737.
> This is less to do with blackmail than to do with optimising manufacturing. It is cheaper for manufacurers to produce all the cars with the same heated seats, but not allow you to use them if you don't pay the recurring charge (as long as enough % of customers opt-in), than to manufacture two versions of the car, one with the seats and one without, just so that you can feel like you aren't being blackmailed.

But there's no connection between adding it to every car and charging a subscription to use it. You could just as easily add the heater to every car and only allow people to use them if they pay a one-time charge, similar to the model today where you pay a one time fee to add the option at build-time.
ETH PoS includes offline penalties proportional to the % of the network that goes down.

If your home RasPi validator drops you don't lose much. If 25% of users stake on coinbase and _they_ go down the penalties are much higher.

So there's an incentive to validate on your own hardware/connection.
This is dumb and a sign that the system we have created to operate in is broken. Another sign. Programmers talk about code smells. This is a code smell about our resource extraction and sharing, and money systems.

It's like how it's "cheaper" to farm some foods and ship them half way around the world via plain and ship, than it is to farm the same food and ship it 100km across land. The "cost" doesn't reflect _in any way_ the resource/energy usage, or pollution emission of the system: only the human "cost", which is biased and lobbied strongly towards maintaining existing power centres.

Our systems stink.
The only real risk is temporary expense and inconvenience if a tenant turns out to be bad.

Even if it's not possible to eliminate that risk, there are various not particularly challenging ways to minimise it.

Yes, that's right, InnoDB is the default MySQL storage engine and you can replace InnoDB with RocksDB.

> Scientific studies have shown that decisions are registered in the brain’s motor cortex milliseconds before a person decides to move, suggesting that in the brief moments before you become aware of what you will do next, your brain has already decided your next step.

I always find the conclusion to this being that it shows we don't have free will to be missing a key point; it only means that if we are expecting our 'consciousness' to exist outside of our physical reality.

Our consciousness and our free will and everything that is us IS our brain and body and biochemistry. Of COURSE our brain waves show up before we are aware of them, because our brain waves ARE our awareness. It is not coming before our awareness, it IS our awareness.

I feel like the conclusion people make is along the lines of, "Hah! See, you aren't in control of your actions, your brain is!" That is us! Yes, our decisions are influenced by the physical world because we are part of the physical world. This is the same as the example of Charles Whitman. Yes, his actions were at least partially caused by his brain tumor, because his brain tumor was part of him. It changed who he was, but that is still him. Your brain is a physical thing, that doesn't make it not you.

It doesn't take a lot of people for aggression to feel common to cyclists.

Yes. https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_int/nokia-8110-4g

Serious and not serious at the same time. My point is that demand is what drives change in a free market, people chose phones without a headphone jack, expandable storage and replaceable batteries so companies chose to sell what consumers wanted, if the demand for these things were so large then more companies would be producing devices with those. Also remember sometimes what people say is not really what they believe or how they act. I know being a techie it's kind of hard to have perspective on it, but as far as I see most people don't give a flying ** about these things, even though I do heavily agree that they should :)
Any technical details out there on how it works? The press release is (understandably) silent on this.
Okay, then why gate it behind a recurring fee instead of a one-time unlock cost?
> I think it's incredibly reckless to start a new commercial project in Python in almost all cases...

> I don't usually make blanket statements, but Python really is so bad that this is a blanket statement I'm pretty comfortable with.

Speaking as someone who agrees with you that something static is very likely better than python for a large project, how do you square this with the existence of a lot of Python projects, even "very commercial", that seem to go on just fine?

It's a fine theory and something I instinctively support, but I don't see measurable evidence in support of it.

There is no designated class of slashers.

Slashing is part of the protocol and to slash somebody you have to prove it to the protocol that they broke rules of slashing. One of the rules is that you can't create two different blocks in the same slot (block number) i.e. you can't deliberately fork.

There is a designated place in the block of the beacon chain where you can put signatures of the different blocks in the same slot as a proof and nodes will slash validator that produced that signatures (update his balance). Anyone can find these signatures, and block proposers of the new blocks will include them into the chain.
> The fTPM clearly affects the system stability, even under an OS where it’s not in use.

This is probably a code that works in SMM mode, and it has a priority even over ring 0 code. SMM is one of the worst CPU features, it is basically a backdoor in your system that can do anything and you cannot even see it. Even if you run Linux you have no control over SMM code, it can hang your system and you cannot even debug it.

Also this shows a weakness of an "open" PC model where poorly tested hardware and low quality firmware from different vendors are assembled together. I cannot imagine this happening on an iPhone for example.
> so I quickly reinstalled

Dude needs to stop quickly reinstalling things. Instead they need to slowly work through what is going on in the operating system that could be causing the observed issue. What does the Windows system information program say when it is run as an administrator? Is secure boot enabled? Is the pcr7 configuration on "binding possible"? What about kernel dma protection or virtualization based security?
All Ford vehicles, including fleet vehicles, have telematics built-in and it's active whether you're paying for it or not.

Ford even offers free fleet telematics services and you don't have to do anything to activate it. Source: worked for a company that had a bunch of vehicles. Boss was unaware we could automagically see fault codes, mileage, oil change status, etc.

People don't get it: any vehicle with telematics is transmitting a ton of data the entire time it's running, whether you pay for telematics or not.

In the software world, we have seen things that used to cost a one-time payment of 60$ turn into a 100$ PER YEAR subscription [0]. I'm sure no manufacturer will make a subscription system that will make them less money.

Exactly.

We’ve had over 50 years to transition off of oil and onto nuclear / electric infrastructure. Instead of that, the world leaders sat with their thumbs in ass on yachts, coked out orgies, and mc-mansions on humanities dime, slurping a gravy train that lasts a generation or two because “who cares what happens after I’m gone”.

Now the bell of death tolls and it is suddenly “everyone who has been locked up with no say”’s problem. People were duped and trusted greedy imbeciles with resource allocation, and then have to bail the same morons out.

PoW binds value to unavoidable physics. Clean up your energy or your planet dies. Increase compute capabilities or you will be left behind by others that do. It forces progress.

PoS binds value to rich people’s ballsacks. It results in no physical value binding, and is a digital continuation of the incompetent making resource allocation decisions — leading humanity right off a cliff.

I just don’t get how we can have all knowledge at our fingertips and humanity is still this bad at decision making.
I guess that’s one way to label a goal. If they can’t make the deadline, should this be backed off or canceled? FWIW it does seem like chargers are showing up all over the place.
On the subject of piracy / DRM, I always think back to Lar's Doucet's piece Piracy and the Four Currencies: https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/piracy-and-the-four-c...

Lars argues that when people make the decision to buy or pirate something, they're spending four 'currencies' which each person values differently:

* Money-dollars

* Time-dollars

* Pain-in-the-butt-dollars

* Integrity-dollars

As a teenager, I had near-infinite time dollars, and very few money dollars. That reversed when I got a real job. Implementing Denuvo (or other DRM malware) increases a product's cost in Pain-in-the-butt dollars significantly because the pirated version without it is better.

I own a Switch, have purchased several games for it, and most of my playtime is on my PC in an emulator now. I can use a better controller, run games at higher framerates and resolution, and use mods. The Switch is still nice on the go, but anything beyond casual games using an anti-emulation solution become less appealing to me.

To be precise, the study demonstrated that the decision is registered before the person is able to report having decided. In other words, the oversight of consciousness is simply delayed. This seems perfectly reasonable: the brain is mechanical, there are limits on "bandwidth" and simultaneity.

I like the general idea of societal "code smells." I think a full list of these would end up getting very long.
I think a much bigger downside would be its effect on the price of your insurance. I can't speak for any other country but in the UK insurers have a reputation for being petty about modifications. Even something as minor as a DIY heated seat switch would have to be declared to your insurer who could refuse to cover you or charge a silly premium for cover.
Saving the planet shouldn't be up to the consumer.

Until we can accurately build in negative externalities (probably never) it will always be cheaper to pour industrial waste in the river, spew sulphur dioxide into the air, chop down ancient forests, overfish the oceans, and drive cars based on cheap fossil fuels that warm the planet.

We endow the government with the right to make long-term decisions that are good for society, even if they are less profitable to us in the short-term. (Not that the government always does a good job of it, but that is one of its mandates.)
I can guarantee that I will not ever pay a dime for those monthly billed extras that have no recurring costs to manufacturers. Go away vultures.

Well, someone develops software for nukes, citizen surveillance systems, fraud schemes and technologies for scamming people out of their retirement savings.

That’s not what the article says - they aren’t going back on features you already purchased. It’s for new purchases only. They aren’t breaking any contracts.

A message from an entity which has not yet sent a spam message does indeed have the save priorization characteristics as one from any other entity withour connections to anything, but presumably a new user is invited by someone.

Furthermore, a new user could presumably say things on the spam-filled rubbish subforums, until he gets an upvote from someone who is trusted by somebody, and then after a while he becomes a participant.

The readon you see problems is, I think, that you imagine a system of private, individual, communication, while I imagine an enormous public forum.
> If the state government was serious about this, they would be installing chargers all over the place.

Seen the charger network in California lately? They’re… quite widespread. And the state is definitely helping with infill to keep adding more. The state is even adding them to rest stops, which is unusual in California since rest stops here are normally very nearly free of any services or amenities.

So yes, they’re serious, and yes, they’re doing exactly what you suggested they’d be doing if they were, and have been for years now.
Wow. I think the UK's on the worse end of Europe, and here the statutory minimum is 28 days (pro-rated for part time employees) including bank holidays if given (i.e. you can not give bank holidays automatically, but the minimum's still 28). I would say 25+BHs (=33 in England & Wales, 34 in Scotland, 35 in NI) is pretty typical/unremarkable (from day 1) for white collar jobs at least, more is certainly available and some increase with service as you describe.

I'm surprised this doesn't come up in US/Europe salary discussions more (at least, I haven't seen it that I recall) - I've known and see it be a benefit (that people do use) to purchase extra holiday from their already higher than typical US starting point. Wouldn't make that much difference to the comparison if it was offered of course, but perhaps indicates Europeans would be choosier (or unhappier) with their hypothetical US job than they realise.
Signalling is not consensus I’m afraid…
Support for gun control and abortion rights might be high, but it's not evenly distributed. Most people in California would vote for both. Most people in Arkansas would vote against both.

As the voters in each state also choose who they send to Congress, we end up with a legislature that reflects the state-by-state preferences of the voters rather than the results of a nationwide opinion poll.

Polling the American population as a whole, when support for these policies and congressional representation are determined on a state-by-state basis, is not that useful.

Biden has successfully moved the 10k in student debt from the people who received an education and moved it to the general population at large.

A review of this appears to state that it will by far benefit the mid-level income/high-income (up to 125k/250k) earners the most.

This puts the burden of this on low income earners and introduces additional income during a time of historic price inflation.

Hard to be counterproductive when the current support for and ability to implement climate policy is already so low. What are consumers are going to do, slow the already far too slow pace of combatting this existential threat down? Oh no, impending doom still equals impending doom.

When you compare the places worldwide and in the US where governments are pushing and where governments deny change and intentionally do nothing, there is a stark difference in progress. There can be no doubt that current levels of government effort basically perfectly correlate with the amount of progress done. California's government is the only reason the United States has any competitiveness on electric cars, lithium batteries, solar panels, and without CA, the other 49 aren't in the same universe as China or Europe in this space.

Ultimately, I don't think there is any future for human civilization as we know it if climate policy is purely a grass roots, bottom up, consumer and market oriented change. I believe the government-minimum scenario is the billions die when breadbasket regions fail and mass famine hits scenario
