Pasting directly into a terminal or even a script is one step removed from blindly running eval(…) with arbitrary user input.

If you’re lucky it works. If you’re somewhat less lucky but still on the positive side, it doesn’t work with some syntax error that doesn’t corrupt anything.

There’s no excuse for not reviewing what is being executed before actually running it.
It's probably both. If you fit the standard pattern you'll have an easy time to adopt. But they also support edge cases with extra work. A small company with many non-standard processes will need so much extra work that it's not worth it. Then it is cheaper to redesign the company and reshape the company processes.

I find it very difficult to fight for sensible defaults in a company when everybody only sees their area and has a very strong opinion about that. Only a strong force like the SAP transition can break up with those encrusted structures.
> it is entirely up to you to either reveal your transactions to parties of your choice or keep them private forever. Keep in mind, that none of it is possible without the Tornado.cash Note and it is your responsibility to keep a record of it if you want to show the origin of funds later.

That's just a digital timestamp service, only a small part of what I'm talking about.

Mind you, I don't claim any novelty in the process I sketched above - just professing the need to have it implemented before we can treat crypto-assets as anything other than a money laundry tool.
I am not gonna name drop anyone, but there is one reputable seller that is online for 10+ years and is resold in all colours on all popular platforms. If they announce that bulk stock is available and shortly after the announcement it's sold out. It's either really smart marketing or just the reality of how big the market actually is :) However 1g Gramm is available too, maybe it's more like 1000 people buying 1g?

Edit:// having more acid than you could ever need is somewhat a novelty in this scene
They commonly use disorderly conduct against drunk people if they're making a disturbance. You also don't need to do it with the intent to disturb, but just with the knowledge that you are, which is easier to prove.

But my point still stands - there are social negatives that we pass laws around consumption of various drugs (including alcohol), and that they are very similar in most states (AZ might not have a public drunkeness law, but still has plenty about other stuff like DUI, public consumption, age limits, licensing, open container law, etc).
Show HN: An interactive data viz cookbook built with PyScript and Pyodide
Hi everyone,

I've been working with PyScript these past days. I believe it has the potential to be a very powerful learning tool, so I've been working on creating interactive cookbooks/cheat sheets that people can use as a reference when learning how to use popular Python libraries.

You can get the code or contribute here: https://github.com/dylanjcastillo/python-dataviz-cookbook/

Or check another interactive cheat sheet I made: https://pandas.dylancastillo.co/
Nice page. Perhaps you could add a filter for ANSI/ISO key layout?
I dunno, I can just imagine new age of cyber-bullying when a bunch of kids just mass-reports some poor kid (hell, even provoke them on chat so if detached moderator sees that they think it's legit) and sends their account to shadow realm.

Having a closed set of realms servers can opt in with more stringent moderation might be a good idea, but forcing it globally is just entirely stupid; there are things inappropriate for kids that are just fine for teenager audience, and adults play the game too.

If I was in your spot I'd honestly either set up, or rent them a private minecraft server, then they can invite their friends there and you have full control on what is happening with it.

> Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't see anything in their process that suggests that a group of adults playing with their friends are at risk of having their chat audited in the absence of a complaint?

Just need one person taking a piss. And it pretty much means no server with strangers is safe as you could be reported by anyone for anything completely benign in context of the server

There is no place in modern society for a family who got all their wealth from wars and stealing it. Only to parade it around infront of millions of people in poverty.

Lets get rid of them. Start by turning the palaces into social housing.

I can kind of see their point however, those youtubers are the ones that made the game popular with kids and got the game as massive as it is today in that demographic, get them banned and suddenly you have pressure on the direct connection to those people, at least in theory.

Granted, that's probably being too charitable for probably 90% of them are most likely driven by trolling/hurting the influencer I dislike, but there certainly is some space there to abuse the feature to make a stand. Unsure if there is any value to accounts now, last I played was over a decade ago, but I assume there are special account bound things now right? otherwise said influencers would just make another account and would be pointless.
Humor, which seems to exist only in the mind of the listener.
Braindead comments which add nothing to the discussion are allowed if they are bland, pro-monarchy messages. Anything critical of the queen will need to be carefully supported or it will be flagged.
> I'd say heat the person, not the space.

I agree, but OP seemed a bit reluctant to try that so I suggested the next best thing.

Thanks for the heated vest suggestion.
I do not agree . Unfortunately, most people lack basic communication skills. I don't think it's good for nonsense to come out of a one-to-one message and be on a channel.
I agree that it will be a trying few weeks. Although I think these kind of situation can give voice to existing pain in peoples lives. And the losses of covid may be expressed as grief for the Queen. It is easier for some people to feel those kind of emotions when the object is less personal and less complicated. The emotions flow precisely because she had minimal impact or significance on our lives. If it really was personal people would want to keep their emotions more private. But the collective nature of the loss lifts the veil and the sadness becomes public. And of course the media and VIPs will milk it for all its worth.
I assumed the author would have been using the ADSL modem for sound processing, but is only using the CPU. Still neat.
Her responsibility to be a rich and powerful figurehead for a colonial empire? I don't see how choosing that was to her credit. Isn't it better to value something more than your own family's power and prestige?

> But we used to be more acquainted to risks and venture before.

I think it was so because the regular life had very little to offer. I mean, I would probably try my luck on a pirate ship, if the alternative was back-breaking work and being hungry half of the time. But nowadays, why take risks, when there's a regular coding job is a sure path to tons of comfort and pleasure?
https://www.captiveportal.co.uk works and doesnt redirect to a non-https link, at this point its hard for normal users to go to an http:// link without their browser overriding them

neverssl.com solves this by redirecting to a random subdomain (for some reason that isnt clear to me near midnight)

a .co.uk equivalent is a great idea though, if it can be made accessible to users with hostile browsers
Right. It is strange that there are no good keyboard shops at least in major cities. There are so many parameters involved in finding the right keyboard, testing is so important here.
> Why is SAP still in business? Is it solely customer misinformation?

The lock-in is huger than huge. I don't think a single company on earth managed the art of locking in customers as well as SAP. Does anyone ever drop SAP? I don't know: the cases have to be exceptionally rare.

It's a racket. Highway robbery. This kind of behavior brings in a lot of revenues.

I personally do think the sale to the customer is complete and total misinformation. And once you've fallen for it, there's no way out.
Former SAP ABAP developer here with 11 years of experience in Retail/FICO/MM/HR/CRM/POSDM.

The software is rather shit esp the old HR and MM stuff ported over from R3 but there is a HUGE ecosystem around it of consultants and consulting companies - nobody is going to get fired for choosing SAP.

It is a huge money hole - take any proposed budget and multiply it by 3.

But heck it transaction flow works and all the modules tie in with each other and the accountants are very happy.
Civ 2 is one of my all time favourites and I still play it every once in a while. The most recent interesting way to play it was to go for only coastal cities, get republic as soon as possible and go for maximizing science, money and population at the cost of production. Just buy all the improvements and military you need.

Never thought of this long/thin variation, care to elaborate a bit?
The thing with an SAP introduction is that one has to analyze and understand how the business actually works to adapt the system to it. However in reality nobody really knows. There is a general idea, hopefully, but over time there are more and more shortcuts and side processes and things. Unless you analyze them an introduction of any new business software (be it SAP or Oracle or whatever) will fail.

Whether it is worth it depends a lot and is hard to say. It will certainly demotivate many employees who are used to the old way, but might lead to streamlining (partially due to software, but norendue to analysis) and more insights (with risk of then optimizing the wrong metric)

Onion powder can be incredible sweet. I would assume that's the trick there.
Omitting many kinds of tags is perfectly valid in html5. Most of my websites feature no explicit body or head tags. Html open tag is “required” because of the lang-attribute.

You also don’t need to quote attribute values. You don’t need closing tags for many html elements.
The Queen would still have been filthy rich without the British Empire. Ask the Swiss and the Danes.

I think you're choosing to couple the British monarchy with the Empire.
If you postpone the transfer, then it simply costs more, as you've put more effort on the in-house system that you'll throw away.

"God save the Queen" is a beautiful song and anthem. I know it wouldn't be kosher, given that it uses the same underlying music, but "My country 'tis of thee" would be ten times better the US anthem than the "Star-Spangled Banner". It'd be a stretch, but we could just say its metaphoric. :-) Musically, I think even "Dixie" is much better than SSB. My condolences the the country of GB and the world for this loss.
No - At least travelling from Europe (UK), carrier charges abroad are usually pretty reasonable. I'm with Vodafone.

I can access my full dataplan for £2 a day if I am travelling in Europe, or £6 a day if travelling outside Europe. This usually means that it's not worth getting a sim now if I go abroad (which maybe is a bit cheaper, but a lot more hassle and I can't keep my number).

Plus if you are travelling through a few countries, you don't have to buy several sims, and if travelling for work then a few days roaming is cheaper than buying the sim anyway.
I tend to agree, but I know quite a few people working on design teams for components of this right now.
So hire those who have communication skills or teach them.

I feel we're powerless to stop this, since it's an extremely easy sell to normal users. The average iPhone user wouldn't think once, let alone twice, about clicking OK on that shiny new doodad-app, and that's all the critical mass they need.

Even if they _were_ to think twice, what are the feasible alternatives? A password manager where you generate passwords for each account? Sure, I do that, you probably do that, but good luck getting your grandma to do that.

This is all super-bad because once it becomes unavoidable, Apple controls _your_ access to everything digital. Apple. Let that sink in. This is the company that backed down on encryption when the FBI asked them to. The company that has stronger device lock-in than any you could imagine.

Am I freaking out unnecessarily? Is my reasoning flawed? Genuine question!
Really, that's not true and hasn't been since 1688.

She held the power of royal prerogative but couldn't ever exercise it because Parliament retains the right to dismiss and choose a new monarch anytime they like.

The issue of royal prerogative was settled in the Glorious Revolution when Parliament decided it didn't like the King, James II and just selected a new one.

Every year we remind the monarch at the State Opening of Parliament that they can't ever use their royal prerogative.

The monarch might have influence but ultimate power rests with Parliament.
Anticlimactically boils down to 100 words on a page.
Extracting useful information from a chat log is tedious and error prone, though. If it's something that should be saved for later, copy it over to a wiki or some such and edit it suitably.

Chat is ephemeral, treat it as such and everyone's life will be better.
If it's an internal (unexpected) error, panic. You get a backtrace and everything--which helps because it was an unexpected internal error, so you probably messed up. You'd like to know where that is.

But if it's an actual user-visible error code then that means you expected for this error to happen eventually and you designed for it. Why then do you need a backtrace? You program is doing what it's supposed to.

I mean sure while developing it's nice to be able to just replace the error code emission by panic (which I do sometimes)--but in regular operation? It doesn't help the user at all.
They like quite some personal identifiable information:

Location

But it does looks very nice, so I am on the fence...
The improvement only happened for some people. Thatcher made it better for a group of Tory voters at the expense of Wales, Northern England, Scotland and quite a fair chunk of the Midlands to boot.

She is adored in some of London and all the Home Counties where her polices led to increased wealth and life outcomes.

In the rest of the country, she is the person who destroyed communities and the fabric of what it was to be British for many.

This is not cognitive dissonance. It's different experiences by different people.

Given this is a thread about HRH Queen Elizabeth II, it's worth noting that she herself and her family were no real fans of how Thatcher conducted herself in relation to some of her policies that were _actively hostile_ to many working class communities.

When the Royal family quietly whisper that they think someone is a snob, well... that's saying something, eh?
Tesla considering lithium refinery in Texas, seeks tax relief
It was also the end of the mining industry, and many other manufacturing industries. There's documents discussing the managed decline of Liverpool.

Some people who were working class may have done well, but the working class as it was basically ceased to be.
You wouldn’t be using it if the creators weren’t on the platform. That is the main draw.

A platform like Patreon mainly provides the really hard service of collecting and distributing money while conforming with tax and other laws you run into while doing that. The rest, like the content feed, is trivial.
Practice refers to what's done. I am really trying to have a good faith conversation here.

PaulHoule posted that the Queen was a 'moral authority'. I replied setting out a few reasons why that might not be true.

What did Dang do? Tell me off and detach my subthread, while the original comment from PaulHoule still stands.

Clearly, that's telling me that positive but controversial comments are fine, but negative but controversial comments are not.

That is replicated across the entire thread. Praise of the Queen is controversial (my interpretation) but allowed (moderation in practice). Criticism of the Queen is controversial (my interpretation), but disallowed (moderation in practice).
There was one beautiful moment where Google and Facebook supported XMPP so you could just set up your XMPP server and talk with people across the platforms but both decided to close their gardens for the usual reasons

But XMPP is shitshow of million XEPs and massive matrix of which supports what. So just because in theory there is some feature you want it doesn't mean that your server and your client will work with it. That's terrible value proposition to anyone wanting to do anything in the space, you dont want to debug (and we did had to, when we used xmpp for our company chat) why user X using communicator Y on platform Z can't send attachment to your user on communicator Q.

XMPP needs to just sit the fuck down, gather the XEPs and put it into XMPP 3.0, with few feature sets that every client and server using it needs to support all at once, not picking and choosing.

So if you make text only chat client, it supports all of the formatting, all of the file send/receive, all of the MUC things, all of the E2E encryption things, all at once. And have one text formatting to support (Markdown seems to be winning here), not a bunch.
The company I work at hired a financial analyst and his first task became to standardize some reports/data according to textbook practices. He said it’s a headache to do in a spreadsheet and he’ll better use python.

Excel may be the only choice for those who grew up without accessible programming around, but times change.
> Each of the old IT staff in the old system you can replace with 3-5 SAP consultants.

Is this facetious, or unintentionally so? Do you mean you need to replace one in-house staff with between 3 and 5 and presumably very expensive consultants?
The key difference in my reading here is the use of percentages or x, where x I read as "times". I would never expect someone to say "half times faster".
ERP guy here

>people complain that things don't work

that's a problem and we're going to have to fix it

>it takes an order of magnitude more time and effort

that's not a problem

the fact that Jane the accounting drone has to do twice the amount of work, or has to hire an intern to help her out, or even wants to quit because the job is so awful now is not a problem

it's a rounding error in the overall cost of implementing an ERP system

a new screen with some new data to show for the exec is worth 20 Jane's and her opinions on the new system

you can't even call the new system unethical or fraudulent because 10 people other then Jane can now stop using broken excel sheets to organize their work

basically Jane is collateral damage
If I set up a server I should be allowed to disable any form of MS moderation.

By all means, set up a kind of method where public servers that are child safe/friendly (e.g. opt in to MS moderation) are advertised as such. But do not mess with my stuff without my permission.
There is a third option. When ever there is a private or out of band discussion, summarize it in the public discussion. Done well, this makes for the best of both worlds in part because it reduces the text that others need to read. However, it requires discipline and extra effort on the part of those having the private conversation.
It sounds more like IPFS
I always wondered why it was the sixth position in the series that gained mainstream appeal.

I haven't played the game, but it's hard to ignore the culture that grew around it - especially that just like every device will eventually be made to run DOOM, every display device will eventually be made to show "Bad Apple".
Google pays ‘enormous’ sums to maintain search-engine dominance, DOJ says
https://archive.ph/pfQWv
For one, it's similar to the "nobody ever got fired for picking IBM" saying. Especially in Germany. As far as I remember, one of the managers involved was former SAP too.

But also, SAP has a lot of accounting and legal process knowledge baked in that is reusable even if you customize everything about it. That's what "mildly competent" developers are missing.

Essentially, they used SAP as a framework.
Quite the low bar for declaring someone a psychopath.
I would say that the reasons run deeper than a power play.

Freemasonry demands active participation in a religious liturgy in which Christ is implicitly excluded.

When the Church warns against such worship and the basic attitudes (beliefs) it inevitably expresses, it is not expressing hatred but charity: concern for souls and loyalty to the mission it received from Christ in Mt 28:19-20. My guess is that you will find the same instincts in e.g. Eastern Orthodox churches.
No, because you don't compute n^n by multiplying n by n, n times. Your also don't compute a x b by summing b, a times, do you?

You compute n^n the same way you compute a^n which is to say that a^n = e^(n x log(a))

So this is a navigation app, not sure how that would work without access to location data. Selecting "while using" works fine.

You can also download offline maps, so it works without internet access (still needs it to download the maps).

Not sure what the others are, I usually err on the side of denying access to apps, and I haven't had any issue.
On an individual decision making scale, there are no repercussions for the bad outcome. The people who decide on plowing ahead get another bullet point on resume for “accomplishing” something, since the outcome is impossible for an outside entity to verify, but doing “something” is verifiable.

Be my damn guest, as long as it's operated by Microsoft (their public vetted list of servers, realms and so on). However, Minecraft has a jar server that you can download and run yourself, which Microsoft has no business interfering with. If I want to i can setup a "Minecraft against humanity" server and invite my friends, nobody should give two shits. Just monitoring speech at all on a private server makes no sense, and should 100% be opt in.

More generally, the solution to moderation is often private or semi-private groups. There's no one size fits all moderation rules, so as far as possible let people moderate their own spaces. Otherwise you're just renting you speech permissions from a corporation.
