as a representative of someone who the poem spoke to, I'd like to comment.

The themes in this piece run fairly deep; and to call them trite or predictable is both a completely fair statement of an opinion, and revealing that one may not be reading with the intended context.

It's very common to end a story with "it was all a dream". It's not quite so common to embed vedic scripture within and talk to the philosophy that we are all components of the universe experiencing itself, and that our individual egos are as fictional as the player character. This is the statement the piece makes.

As the author mentioned, it would be easy to read words like that and miss the point for lack of context. At the risk of being labeled a pedant, which may be fair, I agree that without a meditative practice or other such deep, self reflective experience it would be hard to see the value in the words. What is an introspection into the soul for one will look like pretense to the other.

To be critical of this piece as a piece of narrative is to judge it by the wrong terms. It's a philosophical argument that looks like a story.

Can you give some more detail of what you want to achieve?

Are you looking for a software developer?

What specific skills or knowledge do you think a "Raspberry Pi Magician" has?
Lol I would call myself a non programmer. Only ever did a few units at uni. Basically just do it now to get job done, can read it but am AVG at writing. Lol I've done about 2 to 3 weeks worth of work coding powershell and mikrotik scripts yesterday using chat gpt.

Few tips for anyone doing it. You can feed it updated API if you need while scripting
:) Also if it breaks halfway through code response you can get it to reprint from just before the break. Can help if your trying to get code out but it's getting hammered by overuse.

It can't write ms flows but it can write powershell scripts that implement flows :) it really just depends how you ask it :)

Edit: also based on this, rip saas businesses. Why pay for something I can use gpt to smash a script out for?
crazy how this makes it all the way to production, I wonder how long this vulnerability was exposed...

> October that there was a shortage of both the brand name and generic form of Adderall in the U.S.

This is a bit misleading. There was a shortage for instant release variants, as far as I'm aware the extended release supply was fine.

It's a pain in the ass disorder. It sucks talking to people that self-diagnose because they haven't gone through the pain that is getting diagnosed. It sucks dealing with the meds, dealing with providers who have to be suspicious that you're just trying to get diet meth. It sucks dealing with the population that either doesn't believe adhd even exists, or that you're just being lazy.

It's not really clear what conversation this article is trying to spark, though.
In Search of True Color: Sergei Prokudin-Gorsky’s Flawed Images
Until the regulators stop putting pressure on Microsoft, then they’ll start clawing back franchises and making those games Xbox exclusives. Having them on (much more popular) competitor consoles is good for them in the short term because it grows the audience/value of the IP. So when they do finally become exclusive, it will force more fans to switch.

From the OP:

> In a complaint issued today, the FTC pointed to Microsoft’s record of acquiring and using valuable gaming content to suppress competition from rival consoles, including its acquisition of ZeniMax, parent company of Bethesda Softworks (a well-known game developer). Microsoft decided to make several of Bethesda's titles including Starfield and Redfall Microsoft exclusives despite assurances it had given to European antitrust authorities that it had no incentive to withhold games from rival consoles.

So it seems the FTC is catching on to what a lot of the tech industry has known for decades: never trust Microsoft
In practical terms however, it is very much just a matter of paying the fine and the ticket controllers do let tourists go sometimes (not the ones which do it as a prison work, but others do). Yes, there's stories about people going to prison for it, but usually they got caught a million times and refused to pay. I know a person like that.
> Bringing immediate charges against him on the low hanging fruit does not preclude later charging him with anything that may require further work.

Actually, it very easily could:

Speedy trial rules don't allow delaying trial freely once charged, and a conviction (or acquittal) on a charge that would be a lesser included charge forecloses later charging a more serious offense that includes that conduct with additional evidence, b/c double jeopardy.
Well I guess we have different readings on it then
I think the biggest issue people point to is you have to sink literally 10 years or $100,000 into the game to fully upgrade a character with how the rewards are structured/priced.
Doing unit conversions or general math is a known weak spot. I believe that 1,392,000 km is the correct diameter of the sun -- it just doesn't know how to convert those units.

That lib probably makes any seasoned php dev really confused or think everything is backwards and somehow still works.
Once a user is logged in, is including their username or userID routine API responses considered bad practice? I don't see why it should be, if everything you can do with that username requires an active login token.

The fact that you could put in an email address in lieu of a username/userID seems irrelevant; lots of systems allow email addresses as a username. What stands out about this to me is:
We see in both requests the same `uxd_id` field. This looks to be a temporary login key or validation key generated by the server, that the client would probably use to validate further requests or validate a password change request from that username. It's different in the email than in the live server response so they are generated in different sessions. So...

1) The email reset has two calls. What does the author mean that the first call validates the user's auth? If this is a "forgot password" link for a user who's not logged in, there should be no existing auth (unless that old uxdID functions as a permanent password, but even then, it should be specific to the user). That link should go to a page that issues a new email with a temporary validation token that's tied to the specific user and then emailed back to that user's email address. Unless you could intercept the named user's email there should be no way to know the new token and reset the password.

2) If, on the other hand, it was a reset pass call with the user already logged in, why is the server not checking that uxd_id matches the active login session which also matches the user whose password is to be changed? What's the point of the uxd_id field in the PUT call if not to check that calling user == authorized user == user whose password should be changed? Who would write something like that? For that reason, this looks more like a backdoor for testing password resets that was unintentionally left open.

Am I misunderstanding something about the way this thing is taking tokens to change passwords...? Or is what's described really as simple as "system doesn't check if uxd_id matches user's email on an active session"?
NCC Group is probably the biggest name because they go around Hoovering up companies that are usually above average in the competencies you asked about. And they can attract and retain talent.

Trail of Bits is another big name because they hire and retain talent across a large number of enterprise, emerging tech, and research verticals.

Other established firms include Atredis Partners, IOActive, Security Innovation. There are more one could list.

Sometimes these companies work with partners who ask to publicly disclose some artifact resulting from the test. Here is a collection of those reports aggregated by firm: https://github.com/juliocesarfort/public-pentesting-reports (Edit: note this is not a great way to evaluate any particular company, but it does provide an objective listing of companies that exist in the pentesting space).

Each firm will also have variability in their personnel for your project which can yield different results for two independent tests on the same target from the same firm.
You're right - there are so many good sources not often surfaced by a cursory web search like books and experts. Adding better sources is something we're improving on. A simple next step we're looking into is to expand sources to research papers e.g explicitly pulling from arxiv on some queries.
It absolutely makes you happy. Be beware, finding a language that makes you too happy, can lead to you not wanting to program in anything else anymore. You're better off being in the middle of grumpy and happy, like a normal programmer.
Depends on if it was a security issue or a config issue. From the end user's perspective they can look the same.
What does he have to gain out of saying that?

My only take is that he can prevent prevent Fox & hard right from further making him to be a democratic super donor and try and paint the entire democratic party/system as corrupt.
American here. This is a bad line of argument. Americans only get 1 insurer at a time, so comparing the NHS to the union of all possible insurers is a strawman argument. Each single insurer covers roughly the same procedures that the NHS does (although insurers frequently deny legit claims and will deny all claims past a certain annual/lifetime claims limit).

And your example is at a single point in time. At one point in time, no US insurer covered that procedure (before it was standardized) and eventually if it actually does affordably improve outcomes, it will be covered by NHS.

For me, the most valuable feature of CA's system is that its incentives are at least mostly aligned with your long term health interests. Only HMOs and active duty soldiers (covering maybe 15% of Americans at most) in the USA are mostly aligned this way. The remainder of US health care is minimally aligned, so costs are outrageous and long term outcomes are sometimes good, but sometimes terrible.
I feel like this subthread is less about what would make a good game engine and more about aesthetics and personal itches.

That said, make SDL2 the core and use Lua with LuaJIT for the scripting language and consider me sold.

Also something something Webassembly, I don't know. There's a reason the road to Hell is paved with game engine implementations.
In my experience, moving is related to aspiration. If I stayed where I grew up I’d honestly likely be an opioid statistic and definitely not doing anything worthwhile with my life. I still keep in touch with a few people from youth who didn’t ruin their lives, and I’m the standout success story despite being the socially awkward and poor one.

Moving thousands of miles has changed my life in ways I’d never dream of, staying still was not on the cards: it would have been lethal. I had to upend to get the education I needed, find my person and the tech job I love.

The Countries That Pay the Most and Least for Lego
using an ORM "library" was just as problematic, because data access is something that gets fairly deep in to a project. Had we tied the project to, say, symphony, there would have been a better upgrade path (but that brought its own set of challenges). We adopted a few libraries instead of "a full framework" but when the libraries are abandoned... you still have a lot of work to refactor.
Nor do I hate MS. I have a love-hate relationship with their stack (more on the love side), and of course I don't like their anti-competitive behavior. They've done some great stuff under Satya.

I like to describe them as a many-headed beast; Some are benevolent, others less so.

Open sourcing a lot of stuff has been amazing for the MS ecosystem. But then they pull the Hot Reload move.

Two steps forward, a half step back, seems like.
I heard second-hand that Airtable was paying far over-market rates to hire engineers last year.

This is false.
And in other areas (outside of large cities) it is non-existant.
I find some people don't draw strong distinctions between friends and acquaintances; they treat acquaintances like friends. After going through a collaborative purely creative journey, I could almost see that boundary being broken down further.

So yeah, they weren't friends. But he thought they were, between whatever interaction they had before the poem and the collaborative effort of creating the poem. So does that really make it a Flawed premise?
Their enterprise pricing is $99 per user, per month. Wow.
One of my earliest experiences with systemd's binary log files was on an embedded system I had ~~chrooted~~ systemd-nspawned into, and every time I tried to get the log output it would segfault (some issue with qemu-static probably). Very frustrating experience.

I believe that ship has sailed and the culture has changed. Simply removing Activision's influence won't put things back the way they were. Perhaps bringing back some of the original leaders might.
Thanks for the comparison. At the moment Hello is highly dependent on the underlying results returned by Bing, which makes it non-deterministic.

I just tried your question and got an answer that seemed more plausible.

> why is the earth flat

> The Earth is not flat. It is a spherical surface with a horizon that is closer when viewed from a lower altitude, and it casts a round shadow no matter which direction it is pointed. This shape causes a number of phenomena that a flat Earth would not, such as ships disappearing over the horizon progressively, the coastline or mountain appearing normally, upside down, and broken into pieces from across Lake Michigan, and stars being visible from different locations on Earth at the same time. Additionally, surveys from all over Earth show that its shape is everywhere locally convex, confirming that it is very close to spherical.
Are you really saying a mobile game earning 300M in roughly 4 months is bad?
With long-distance-ish I was thinking about the RegionalExpress [1], a series of trains that travels with around 80km/h (50mph), connecting cities of all sizes on routes of about 150km/90mi each. If you want to cross the country you will have to switch trains a couple of times, but you get there (though much slower than with a ICE).

Commuter rail typically covers about 30mi in about an hour, unless it's a tram or an underground.

I’ll second that. I’ve been doing python for a while and haven’t used the mixed type list. I’ve actively avoided doing something like that. The situation doesn’t come up often.
sad.

people keep saying we won't have a big recession because tech is the ONLY sector that will have layoffs.
I am doubtful of that statement.

Great deal for people who have plenty of free time but little money, like kids, students, retirees, or unemployed.
So… a federal jury found this guy guilty, but here we have a friend of his who is going to be totally neutral in a reevaluation?

So they set out to describe it as „an accident“ because „blameless post-mortems“ are something people really like?

Also this article falls into the trap of trying to sound smart by using, sorry, „by effecting the usage of“ big fancy words. I’ve read Supreme Court transcripts and judgements, and I can understand them. This is overtaxing my buzzword ingestion.
I think astounding is referring to the brazenness of the cheat. If the racer had been just a bit more discrete in the use of it, they probably wouldn't have been caught.

We were in W21 batch, so Jan 21. It was just after we released the first version of Wasp somebody could actually download and try out (before that it was just the landing page with the vision statement + gh repo with Haskell source). We got some good feedback on Product Hunt and Reddit and I believe that also helped.

We documented our adoption journey (through gh stars) here (https://wasp-lang.dev/blog/2022/09/29/journey-to-1000-gh-sta...), and we also marked the moment when we were accepted in YC (we actually applied 3 times in a row!).
The dialogue makes no sense if you're convinced in one thing and refuse to participate in understanding that your assumption is wrong.

All servers, of any kind, work the same way. Whether you want to accept it or not is not up to me, but fact remains.

PHP does not work in any different way, but it seems there's this huge barrier where you want to believe you're right. I can't dispel that so I bid you farewell.
In my experience, this is a highly useful feature. I’m not sure what you’re complaining about here, but if the server is shutting down, what’s the point in sleeping?
I agree, but that is not how Google search (currently) operates.
Don't learn a Lisp. For one, you'll end up in endless arguments whether your Lisp is a proper Lisp, and two, everything else will look ludicrously constraining for no good reason.

Yes it’s making the ticket system much simpler. But I don’t think this was top priority.
For the 9€ ticket the rule seemed to be like „you can use it everywhere locally and additionally nationally for all trains which are not ICs or ICEs“ but in reality there were still some routes where you were not allowed to use it even though the train you use is an RE. Afaik you could not know except you were looking into the terms and agreements of the Deutsche Bahn.
There are two reasons why the ticket system was (and probably partially will still be) so complicated: first we have a lot of transportation companies. Each city/region has their own. And we have the Deutsche Bahn - which responsible for all the national tracks and trains. They all have their own ideas of pricing and they never appeared to be willing to work together. Also, you‘d need a good electronic system to cover all the data from all these companies to work with them but this requires some degree of digitalization which Germanys is not capable of. It’s a mess :(
Not to worry, you can still re-capture this feeling!

Just order little useless things off AliExpress. Guaranteed you'll have forgotten about it by the time it comes.
That would be really nice. And reproducible science needs to be more prevalent.

But you must realise that effects would be entirely obscured without corrections. That's just the central limit theorem.

But I think this thread misses the main thrust of the research.

Next time you read a paper about someone living longer for say. Combing their hair think, should they have corrected for VILPA?

I sort of disagree. He had a money printing operation and somehow wound up blowing half of it on bad bets, losing the rest criminally, and now blabbering without a lawyer. If he's playing 4d chess I'll be amazed to see his endgame working out.
I hate that this is true.

So many fun franchises are basically dead because they aren't nearly as profitable as a freemium game and selling digital garbage. Single player FPS is basically dead. RTSes are also effectively dead. The only place you'll find such things is from indy devs and they don't have anywhere near the budget to make something as good as what we used to get :(.
No-Code Solution
Hello! I am looking for a no code solution to my next problem:

I will give a QR code to a customer, they will input information, this information will be stored in my database (let's say google sheets or somewhere) and I want to grant them access to the information they inputted and to change it if necessary.

The problem is that I will have multiple clients inputting data and I want to grant them access only to the data they inputted, so they will not be able to see the rest's information.

Hope you can help me.
I like using the bind operator and avoiding computational expressions. Like Scott Wlaschin suggest.

But I've also found that sometimes traditional error handling makes more sense.

I mean, it depends on what you mean by “type”. A list of some Protocol type (what other languages call “interfaces”) is still a homogenous list even though the concrete types are heterogeneous. This is almost always what you want when you’re thinking of “a heterogeneous list”.
Success of a product is only tangentially related to how much of a pain in the ass a place is to work for. Even less so when you are talking about a multi-billion dollar market leader like Google.
No, no. Go right ahead and sink time and money into this sort of crap. Just like every attempt before, it'll generate a pile of garbage that's unmaintainable yet will still manage to poop out ONE single nugget of value: determining what needs to be built after the idiot suits thrashed all around with the 'wonder toy' system. Then, we experienced developers can have a walk in the park while cashing out on contracting rates. Fat stacks of cash simply for replacing exact like-for-like functionality with REAL software and then bring in the extensions the vendor toy systems couldn't. I could do with a nice, easy, early retirement path to pop up in 7 years. Bring it on ;)
Thanks, no worries.
I mean why not take funding, pay yourself $400k a year to "CEO" it, sell equity at a crazy price in the B round, etc. etc.
Maybe. But aside from that little artifact, it is really nice and it fits a description well. And probably it only took the author few moments to get it generated.
Startup valuations != market cap.

It's a trick VCs play.

They aren't buying typical common stock. They're buying preferred stock. They won't get wiped out in bankruptcy like typical common stock shareholders.

It's a $725M minimum valuation. Not an $11B market cap - as it would be for a public company.
In my code this comes up often, e.g. when I use tuples instead of namedtuple or a dataclass.
This is peek internet. Amazing!
This is just a branding and promotion exercise for them. They're riding coattails.

Interest rates rose above effectively-0% for everyone at the same time.

Whether these companies can only survive in a 0% environment is a matter for debate I won't get into; my main point here is more along the line that there had to be consequences to that somewhere. The rate of resources flying around reduces, the rate of resource consumption must reduce.
