that's awesome. I made a somewhat similar toy[0] a while ago in vanilla js (checkmark `color2nearestname` at the top). I've been meaning to try my hand at this again, but while allowing the user to choose the palette. Namely I was thinking of these definitions:

1. CSS named colors

2. Open Props' colors[1]

3. Tailwind colors

4. XKCD's color survey results[2]

A different project sent me on a deep dive into the concept of color distances and how that can work across different spaces though so I'm afraid any other color-related projects would paralyze me with feature creep at this point though haha

Yeah I’d love to know where the money is actually going. Is it just an accounting thing? You could pay 40,000 people a quarter million a year!
I noticed immediately. I find the flavor of artificial sweeteners (and some of the recent plant-derived sugar substitutes) as distinctive as you find sugar.

I recognize the irony of including HFCS among the "natural" sweeteners. Isn't that just 10,000 spoons (of sugar)?
Yep, the economic cost of tobacco has no reason to be higher than any other plant.

Even in Raleigh, there are taxes on tobacco.
> all three branches of government. … You know, the House, the Senate and the executive

While it's objectively the case that this is not accurate, control of those three is commonly called a "trifecta" by pundits and political operatives, so that's probably the source of the confusion.
This was a frequent excuse back when SpaceX had just started landing Falcons, but both factors go hand-in-hand. If you have reuse, you can fly a bunch of missions.

SLS is going to have difficulty maintaining a 1 launch per year even without payload readiness, so of course it's expensive and therefore disposable. But if they had reusability, they might have been able to fly it more often, thus helping make it cheaper on average to fly.

With SLS this becomes stark in the sense that if SLS was reusable, it could fly more often and would have lower per launch costs, which would make the other lunar lander proposals more viable and would make it more realistic to fly science payloads on it. If SLS were reusable, establishing a long term lunar presence with it wouldn't be a joke that everyone pretends to take seriously because it wouldn't be a matter of choosing between sending over a crew or launching components for a base for a given year.
I am so looking forward to 6 months from now; thank you!
That sounds like bait and switch. Loss leader fwiw is a product that retailer intentionally and legitimately loses money on, in order to get you into the store where you'll buy other stuff.

20 years ago, Computers were perennially loss leaders at a best buy I worked at. We sold you $2000 computer at a small loss, hoping you'd buy printer paper and cartridges and cables and warsanty.printers are still notorious loss leaders of course.
It was good and bad. Disney had basically two hyper loyal bases throughout the last 20 years. Parents with young children…especially daughters, and the LGBT community. The woke stuffed appealed to one of those groups, but not the other.

The group it didn’t appeal to has immense political power in Florida and this threatened Disney’s control of the RCID, which Disney really needs to control…there was a lot of speculation about how this was a loser for Florida, but it wasn’t. It’s a loser for Disney because they need to maintain a specific standard both for grounds and roads, but also control for future development needs. Especially with the parks busting at the seams.

I am willing to bet in the next two years there is some political repair happening between Iger and Florida.
I think that one is C128 only.

Isn't the point of having two pilots that if something happens to one of them, there is a backup?

Who would get on a plane knowing there's only one pilot?
>Okay, and then law enforcement asks the VPN. Yeah, it improves matters some, but we're talking about a huge book archive here. People aren't going to maintain OpSec

You're making it seem like this is such an impossible task, but libgen already uses ipfs as a mirror..
I can verify the parts are easy to get. We got the boiler, sans power cord, for 5 usd at a yard sale. we ordered a replacement cord and there wre no snags anD as I recall the price was good. That was 5 years ago and it still works well.
Always nice to see a vendor respond quickly and adequately. Even better when they go above and beyond, as seems to be indicated here by the timeline posted and the assessment of what fixes were put in place by the researcher(s). Good job Tailscale.

But to use both, you have to store both, to use it as a lookup, you have to [unique] index both; you can no longer easily partition (and guarantee uniqueness)

And an auto incrementing bigint doesn't guarantee order.
Marvin Minsky, AI pioneer but allegedly has a sordid and questionable background with ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
That's what I mean by long-term pseudonymous accounts. My point is that persistent identity (which we are both talking about here) is not the same as verified identity. As long as there's a way to build reputation on the site, readers can distinguish newbie accounts and impostors from long-running community members. You don't need a mechanism to check anyone's ID.
I listened to keygen music a great deal at one point. I'd run them through Winamp to produce something I could burn to a CD and listen to in the car. Pretty funny seeing Photoshop, Easy DVD Creator, Power ISO, and whatever else streaming across my car's track display.

Investing in small businesses isn't legal because you need to be an accredited investor which only the top 1% of the wealth pyramid qualify for.

It's these kinds of rules to "save people from themselves" that have the bonus effect of the rich gatekeeping the best investments that make a lot of people mad and see the current system as corrupt.

Being able to spend and invest my money how I want should not be a crime.
Aside from that horrific fortune standard article (probably syndicated it's on others too) - if they have legit joined "mastodon" they've already done it wrong:

- scum corporations [1] freeloading on someone else's infrastructure is going to be death of the ecosystem.

So, this makes sense from the perspective of writing code professionally for a company. I don't buy that the risk is significant for an individual programmer, but I suppose it is plausible that lawsuits could pose a threat to a large organization.

But I find I get most pleasure out of using CoPilot for personal tasks, everyday stuff that isn't for work. Surely there is no issue there?

And to counter the note about the scraping sources-- I have recently (out of work) been experimenting with using CoPilot to translate open-source MATLAB code into python and zig. If I make something useful in this way, it will be open source and I will credit those who wrote the original code.

Surely a use-case like that last would have to tick all the moral and legal boxes?

All software can have serious bugs, which is why you do defense in depth. Never depend on just one thing for your entire security perimeter.

Outside narrow very well defined cases where proofs of security are possible, it might be impossible create perfectly secure computing systems due to the insolubility of the halting problem and the sheer size of the combinatorial space.

If you watch the CVE announcements it's a continuous stream of serious bugs in all kinds of major software applications including OSes, web browsers, networking hardware, VPNs, cryptographic libraries, and so on. Microsoft, Apple, Cisco, etc. have serious vulnerabilities fairly often.

Maybe you are doing some sort of cursor for pagination or whatever. You can use one ID and fetch the next 50 records. Then use the last ID in those 50 to fetch the next 50, etc.
It does amount to saying if they seek out workers at all, that process needs to include seeking out US workers. At least as I read it.

I think you are saying the same thing the original comment was saying.
Ontario retail alcohol sales are heavily regulated. The LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) has exclusive rights to import wine and only sells that wine at its retail stores. They reserve a big section of their stores for Ontario wines.

Ontario wineries can get approval to open retail stores, but the product they sell can be at most a 50% foreign blend.

So you always have more retail locations and a wider selection with Ontario wines.

Seems like the "Whaling and Culling" theory is playing out as speculated. Also, I'm surprised they still have 2700 employees left. The "reporting" last week made it sound like everyone but a small handful left the company.
> So this explanation would only make sense if the blind tests are also using sipping and the unblinded tests are using drinking.

Yeah that’s what they’re doing.
I don't have much of a wine palate, but I do have a crazy obsession with chocolate. What I notice with the chocolate is that people tend to prefer the cheaper, usually milk, chocolate because they don't actually like intense chocolate flavors. The stuff added to supermarket grade chocolates tends to dull and blend the flavors, hiding what I think is crazy good complexity of flavors (raisin, cherry, tobacco, leather, of course cacao, and more) but what others describe as "bitter", "burned", or "tastes like dirt". I completely understand why people like the cheap chocolate, it tastes good and goes down smooth. But it just doesn't excite with complexity the way more specialty chocolate can. I've always wondered if maybe that's the same with expensive vs consumer wines, but in that instance I'm the one on the other side of the coin who likes the cheap stuff.
I would still love to see te parent question answered.
Maya is the generally accepted term here. Identical singular plural and plural forms for the demonyms is very common for indigenous groups in the Americas. Hopi, Maya, Cree, etc.

The language family is commonly called "mayan" because of historical convention, but some people prefer to call the various languages "maya" instead.
If you forget to save during boom times I don't feel bad for you during the lean times.
> One of the points he made was that there are absolutely wines which are objectively better and worse and that experts can reliably tell them apart. He had met enough experts who could identify a vineyard and vintage blind to know there was something to it. But sitting on top of that there is a frothy market that is driven by fads, speculation, and hype.

Sounds like crypto.

follow up thoughts assuming that _everything_ lives on a simple spectrum of least faked and most faked
(1) I posit that certain demographics are _aware_ of the 'fake's or 'widely-faked' things(material, immaterial, symbolic) which they willingly or unconsciously/historically/inadvertently subscribed/habituated/endowed into
(1a) how do we ascertain where ourselves (and others) are on that scale of awareness
(1b) of the groups who belong on the _less aware_ side of the awareness spectrum, what are the classes of fake things which they subscribe to that they will not concede to be fake at all

(2a) Is there a demographic that willingly/consciously/unconsciously wants to be deceived
(2b) What are the classes of things which they normally want to be deceived by?

Connection between wine connoisseurs and notion of high-status is generally accepted and the connection between status, self esteem and serotonin is well established [1-3]. There is one interesting study (which unfortunately i cant access) on rationality (or rather suppression of) during blind wine testing [4] which i presume iterates this point in context of wine

Solomon et al expounded Terror Management Theory[5] based on Becker's Denial of Death[6] which suggests one experimental measure for ascertaining degree of irrational attachment (or degree of irrationality); given a threat or reminder of death, humans will strongly assert whatever symbolic attachment (eg religion, race, choice of text editor, wine vs non wine loving, wine choice, truffle choice) they have and discriminate anyone who belongs to the 'other' due to the serotonin triggering nature of asserting the value of your attachment/identity. What i do want to see is a social/fMRI study of technological workers and 'fashion' ie irrational/subjective choices made in supposedly rational/objective domains (choice of text editors etc), related [7]

The issue isn't really passwords where a UUID would be totally overkill, it's for things like capabilities. For example, I could put a file at `example.com/<some uuid>` and no one could find it unless I told them about it. As the author points out, my chance of an attacker guessing that url isn't 2^128 but instead 2^122. For many cases that's actually fine.
Are you using Home Assistant? You seem to be all in and I've started doing the research to get my place setup. I think I would like voice commands for quick actions but would like to avoid giving my voice data to Amazon, Google, Apple, etc. There seem to be some limited open source models, but their support currently seems limited.
but you can still do pagination with uuids, your rows can be sorted on any arbitrary criteria like created date or updated date.
Anti-BDS Laws
TL;DR: if you want the chance of a collision to be the same as hard drive corruption, you're "safe" with 128 bit random ids until nearly a trillion objects. That doesn't mean it's a particularly great idea though because you have to not just look at the probability of collision but what net impact that will have to the system/business as a result.

If you want future proof random/unsorted ids just use 512 bits. That's large enough to maintain a 128 bit search space with existing hash algorithms even in a world with practical quantum computers that run Shore's et all. This is approximate reasoning not a formal proof but is reasonably grounded. In the big picture 64 byte vs 16 byte ids are unlikely to be the thing that kills your company. A security breach or corruption of a key database record very well could.

issue in question: https://github.com/Marak/colors.js/issues/285

11:26pm issue opened

2:24am someone identifies the fix, but marak comments: "Still trying to figure out what happened. I think we may have tried to upgrade to JavaScript 6 but the CI system only supports JavaScript 5 and lower."

11:33am marak comments: "We've been up all night trying to work out a solution for this Zalgo bug and are still coming up short."

This post is cringeworthy to read... does Marak thinks not one remembers what happened?
I recently read "Lost Connections", recommended to me after a long few years with depression.

I suspect if you're commenting in this thread, you'd probably enjoy it.

Anyway, the one thing that seems to always be a consistent theme in discussions of burnout, is work. I've not yet seem a conversation on burnout where an employment scenario is not brought up.

One of the chapters in Lost Connections talks about meaningful work, and how a reduction or elimination of personally fulfilling work, can lead to a depression, as can a few other things.

I can't help but feel at this stage after dealing with a long running depression, that our relationships with work are probably broken, and we've all been sold a lie.

My issue with the term "burnout" is that it feels like it's loading the topic to be a personal issue (which it technically is), when in reality, it's a reaction to a bad external stimuli.

I'd write more, but I feel like I'm waffling, I'm happy to discuss more if people want to chat about it.
It's just a fanciful advertisement. It's not even much of a demo, for the reasons given by OC. They said it wouldn't work in real life.
I use a cheap public VPS and Wireguard and it works over my ISP connection at home. My servers run here at home but are only publicly visible at my VPS public ISP address. Is that the same as what you're asking for with 'NAT traversal'?

If so, the config is straightforward for techies, just Wireguard config, it routes into my home server and I use Apache Reverse Proxy to route to the backend services.
In all seriousness, how desperate would you have to be to entertain a job offer from Twitter right now?
Why would you say that Bluetooth MAC Adress problem is a "small caveat"?

This sounds like a complete showstopper to me.
The focus here is on the fact that it runs in userspace. Tailscale in userspace does something similar where it receives packet "meta-data" and then just creates the packet that came through the tunnel and sends it out the lan interface. Is this what happens here? I do like the docker option ;)
Oh God. Is cryptocurrency trying to claim "to big to fail".

Y'all know very well that it needs to go to zero. Society needs to be reminded that dust to dust is always a possibility.
Your intuition is correct. However, in the context of an O(N^2) comparison sort you can implement a tie-breaker check that at least ensures order stability between frames.
Taste is almost definitionally subjective and culturally mediated. There are trends in flavors, and the ability of a vintner to match those trends is indistinguishable from producing “better” wine.

If you take the drink outside of its reference culture and try to measure how “good” different examples are, you’re going to get nonsense out.

Food and drink don’t exist in a vacuum. To the extent that you live and participate in the culture of wine (I do not), you may find value in spending for a “better” product. On the other hand, I will happily pay a premium for beers with tasting notes like “barnyard” and “wet horse blanket” or rums tasting of “petrol” and “rotten bananas.”
Dates might not be unique but I can see other possibilities that would be fine.
OK, but what specifically was special about Cook that Jobs hired him with the idea to take over, rather than promoting anyone else working at Apple at the time to the role?
I read a bit about him. He is very smart and super disciplined. And very effective at what he does. So much so that he stood out even above the other top level executives around Jobs at the time. And that's saying something.

Jobs was right to pick him. The company has thrived and has weathered many problems that could had badly affected the company under his leadership. He has been one of the company's top assets.
That article is super helpful - my take on it is that the fact Quintenz was a former hedge fund trader probably had a lot more to do with the approval than his later decision to work for Kalshi. And it’s interesting to note he was originally nominated to the CFTC by president Obama
I would say "technology" is more appropriate than "automation". That and globalization have done it.

Example: I live in Baltimore, a city that used to have an array of industries paying living wage blue-collar jobs that didn't require a lot in the way of education or other qualifications. All those industries -- shipping/stevedoring, shipbuilding, steel, auto manufacturing, general manufacturing -- were either globalized and went overseas or in the case of shipping underwent a technology shift (containerization) that eliminated most of the good-paying jobs.

The white collar jobs were hit more by technology/automation. The city used to be a regional banking/insurance center, but between consolidation of banks or insurance companies to compete in wider markets and technology automating most of the clerical-level stuff, those jobs disappeared too.

The only jobs left in the city now are at the bottom or the top of the wage scale, the middle is completely gone. And you can easily see the impact it has had on the city.
Interesting — TIL. Thanks for commenting.
Technically, yes, SLS can send people around the Moon, but gotta remember that Starship is very much on the critical path to the actual goal of boots on the Moon.

So, 'currently' is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, not to mention in general the idea of SLS being ready to send people to the Moon now is a bit of a stretch too since Artemis II will be ready to launch in 2024 if we're lucky, which is also when (if we're lucky), Lunar Starship should be starting its testing.
Yeah really struggle to see the point in investing in a standalone Blu-ray player, let alone committing to storing all that physical media.
I have an E650 or something like that--an eco-drive. I traded an xbox 360 for it many years ago, when an xbox 360 was worth about 300 or 400 bucks. I was having trouble selling the xbox before I went overseas, but bringing a watch along worked just fine.

It's a great watch. I would wear it more, but it's a little gaudy for me, and heavy. Still, I've really mistreated it a lot, and it just keeps on going.
No, I don't think so. "Trifecta" is a fairly recent term for that.

Knowing that the judiciary is set up to be independent is pretty critical.
In the case of vinyls, it is all about the rituals, the fact you see the actual disc spinning, etc.
