Yes, according to the way I did it. You could put DRF serializers and Pydantic schema into the same file and call that "serializers.py", or you could just use DRF for incoming form validation.

Similarly, you could collapse "selectors.py" into "services.py". I put read-only operations into "selectors.py" and write operations into "services.py", but you don't have to. I got that idea from this styleguide: https://github.com/HackSoftware/Django-Styleguide which is in the Appendix of the Django Domain API docs.
The Peruvian people are suffering while the country's rich natural resources are being exploited by outside interests. The Indigenous Inka and Amazonian people have bravely protested, using their traditional music and weapons to stand up for their rights. It's time for the world to listen to the Peruvian people and support them in their fight for a fair and prosperous life.

I recently rewatched his address to OOPSLA[0] and it was funny to see him trying to avoid coming straight out and saying "you guys completely misunderstood the point of my work!" He tried to allow for the possibility that he was just misunderstanding, but it was pretty obvious that he knew that the Gang of Four style patterns movement took the surface level organization from his work and completely ignored the moral and ethical point of it all.

Glad to see he didn't leave off with that! We could do with more software people studying his actual work, which was building humane, living spaces that make people whole.

yes - it's open source here: https://github.com/supabase/vault

This wraps pgsodium (https://github.com/michelp/pgsodium), which wraps libsodium (https://doc.libsodium.org/).

> I'm using Postgresql for a service and I'd love to use this feature. Maybe I should just use supabase as my backend...

We'll try to get the other big clouds to adopt some of these extensions we're developing (including pg_graphql). Vault is still in beta, but once it's stable I think it's a no-brainer for them. it can work with secure-enclaves, so it ties in nicely with their other offerings (read: more economically interesting for them). That said, we'd love for you to try supabase.

There’s been lots of fraud revealed lately. Japan has been simply covering it up very well.

Just a few examples that I recall this past year or two include faking emissions tests for vehicles, faking steel quality tests, faking GDP by counting construction costs up to four times, and faking about 99% of clams from Kumamoto and local fishermen were apparently aware of this for decades. All of these issues went on for several years. Corruption at all levels has been revealed lately, and when you stack this up, all these things passed of as “good enough. Nobody will know” can end up in total disasters when quality matters.

Honey has been consumed for hundreds if not thousands of years. In ancient medicinal systems it is given a special status as a conduit for herbs and medicines. Even the ancient rg vedic texts make special mention of honey. It is also used in ritualistic worship. Obviously none of that has to mean anything from a scientific lens, but it does seem interesting why it tends to pop up across history in interesting ways. Frankly I think it is also mentioned because it is edible and sweet and mildly intoxicating in large quantities and can also be made into mead
How does the 24 hour delay location tracking rule agains DOXing benefit somebody who doesn't have a private jet to hop around the world in every day, and always sits at home in the same place, isolating to not get sick, and working hard at home to pay the bills and feed the cats?

Is it just fine and not DOXing to track and publish the location of people who don't move around all the time, after a 24 hour time lag?

Sounds like this 24 hour rule is specifically designed to protect Musk himself, and only incidentally anyone else who happens to own a private plane.
Yes, saturated fat is unjustly maligned. And from an evolutionary perspective, it doesn't make sense that it would be so harmful; pre-agricultural diets had lots of saturated fat so human metabolisms should have evolved to handle it well.

When it comes to your daily life, what are your pain points?

Examine each pain point, document why it's a pain, who else is likely to have that pain, how it might be fixed by software.

Analyze existing software that attempts to address the pain point. Do any of them address it adequately? If so, strike that pain point (you could compete, but it will be harder). If it's addressed, but not adequately - or not addressed at all, then you have a candidate. If not addressed all, think long on whether there is a reason for that, and what it could be.

Interested in software for a particular group (e.g. bicyclists)? Make friends within the group, then find out their pain points, and repeat the above procedure.

Once you have ten 16 candidates (if you can't come up with 16 using this process, then add a new group or switch), pick the best 8 based on the following:

- how executable your idea is

- how crowded the market space is

- your skillset, or the skillsets of the team you are confident you can put together

- how long it might take you to get a product to market

- how much investment is needed, and what your runway would be

Then do the same for that 8 to pick the best 4, and then the best two.

Do a MVP for each of the best two and see what traction you can get.

It's possible all four of your top ones are viable idea.

As for a Twitter alternative, that's like saying an Office alternative. Pick one facet of Twitter (e.g., doing polls) and analyze as above. You're better off with something else though, as the market for Twitter alternatives is already over-saturated. And in the next two-years it will become even more so. Someone will create the next big social media thing though, so who knows.
That is correct, but - as pointed in the article - we work on floor plans, which are flat, so I wanted to simplify this a bit to not create too much issues to solve in one article. That said, it was probably an oversimplification, since actual geographic data (and a map view) was used, point taken.

Deaths that wouldn't have occurred had a mass evacuation not taken place.

Here's a paper analyzing the evacuation-related deaths from Hurricane Rita.

> A majority of the deaths (90/108 or 83.3%) were related to the mass evacuation process. Of these deaths, 10% were directly related to hyperthermia in motor vehicles. The combination of traffic gridlock and high temperatures, limitation of air conditioning to reduce fuel consumption, reduction of oral intake to decrease restroom visits, and conservation of limited supplies is suspected.

You would think that the quality movement ideas that have made Japanese cars so good would apply to safety but the UAW will point out that a US car factory is a much safer workplace than a Japanese car factory. Some of that is the UAW being a strong union that looks out for its members, some of it is the adversarial legal culture in the US.

Japanese workers, for instance, like to make changes to their workstations to improve their performance (for instance, complete the job more quickly.) In a normal workplace that's a great idea, but when you are working with solutions of fissionable elements there are many details you need to control to prevent a criticality accident, and they evaded those controls.
Can you share more? The balance of evidence against saturated fats is quite clear, and there are usually good responses to find around single studies that purport to show countervailing evidence.

The biggest example of this is that it’s hard to find a cohort that contains substantially different levels of saturated fat intake (very low vs very high). So the quintiles inside the same cohort don’t necessarily have significant outcome differences, and that’s peddled as saturated fat not being bad for you.
That's hard to say, but there's just too many strange coincidences with regards to JFK. And the list of them just keeps growing.
> Honey, especially robinia (also known as acacia honey, a honey from false acacia or black locust trees), clover, and unprocessed raw honey, may improve glycemic control and lipid levels when consumed within a healthy dietary pattern, (...)

The key word here is "within a healthy dietary pattern". Unfortunately, most people in US are not on a healthy dietary pattern and have some level of insulin resistance which means any benefits would probably be smaller than added damage.

Whoever is looking to improve their health I would urge to skip any notion sugary products are going to make them healthier until they are sure they got rid of their insulin resistance.

So why should we invest money into nuclear, which has the downsides of clean-up costs that literally never end, with the burden of having to communicate the risk to every human generation as long as humanity exists?

Instead of untying our hand behind our back and simply invest massively in renewables, which have a lifecycle cost profile and risk profile that is much more predictable?

I believe that Oswald was there to prevent the assassination from happening. And that there were two Oswalds, making him the perfect fall guy. MrChrillemannen on Youtube has video about 'the two oswalds', Lee Oswald and Harvey Oswald - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM8pDhviTo8 . The bad one was likely the one who shot JD Tippit, went to the embassies in Mexico, Cuba Helsinki, Russia, etc.... The good one wanted to stop the assassination, was the real hero, was anti-Cuba.

He was one of many who knew the truth and were silenced for it. His own words are "I'm a patsy". Sadly, since we can't get his testimony, we won't ever know the truth.

If this is true, then he is a true hero. Judyth Vary Baker, his ex gf from new orleans, believes this.

If that's the framing, solar and wind are the clear economic winners right now:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source#...

There's been rapid progress with those two in particular that's made it shockingly cheap. Solar cost is down about 95% in 10 years.

If that trend keeps up in the 2020s, anything else will have a real hard time catching up.

I'm still pretty excited about the idea of fusion space travel though. Trips to Mars could be done, depending on what thrust system can be built, in about 1-3 months (compared to about 9 now) and because the fuel is denser, longer high speed trips become feasibly possible, like to Jupiter in 4 months. For a comparison, it took Galileo 74 months to get there when it launched in 1989.

The idea of humans, say, landing on Europa in the 2030s might now be on the table.
It feels like Elon is now 'task saturated'[0]. There are more things that he needs to do, than there is time/brain-power to do them in. The last few times I've posted here about this feeling in a person in the news, the person has quickly folded and the 'worst' has happened. Not that my track record means much.

All the 'cool kids' are now leaving twitter, it seems. Further attempts to prevent this will just make them 'cooler' in the eyes of the public. Elon's public persona is now leaning towards an insulted school principal doling out badly considered punishments. The public smells blood and is going to pile on him. He should take a break from the internet until the New Year, but won't.

I saw two good ones on this that kinda fit. He's like Elmer Fudd with a site full of Bugs Bunnies. He's a narcissist that bought an insult factory.

I'm afraid that the public needs only to decide which site it's going to next. Like with Digg, Twitter is relegated to being not much more than a domain name that doesn't 404.

Yes because in one case your actions are in service of your country and in the other you will be declared a traitor and executed as such.

Edit: Did you read the "JFK decided to withdraw" link? He allegedly decided to withdraw 1000 of 17,000 Americans in Vietnam. This one step forward two steps back military strategy is par for the course for the duration of the Vietnam War. Doesn't substantiate at all why CIA would be so upset about it as to assassinate POTUS. Per your own link, it was a minor enough move that they didn't feel the need even to consult or notify South Vietnamese President Diem.

I played it, and enjoyed it (I played the living daylights out of UT 2004 and UT 3, and was eager for UT 4). I was waiting for the single-player portion of UT4 to be in a cleaner state. It was the only reason I signed up for an Epic account. But UT 4 stayed in rough shape with unfinished features, though it was playable.

I doubt I'm the only one that was tracking it and watching games like the newer (and amazing) Doom come and go.
To this day nothing else beats the fast feedback loop of Common lisp. It has the best hot-reload abilities of any other language.

Other languages tout fast build times (that actually are not that fast) completely unaware they are stuck in slow feedback loops.

Wait until you deal with slow loading process that is independant of your language. (ie even infinitly fast build time wont' save you). Once that data is loaded into your data structure you want it to STAY there. Lisp wills save your butt allowing you to continue to develop with the tight feedback loop.

That is approximately what I was getting at, so thank you. The guy's obviously operating in a fog of fear. This is probably exacerbated (if not caused by) his notoriously bad sleep habits, and/or whatever chemical help he uses to sleep at all. What's amazing is that so many people don't seem to recognize. I guess they just never lived in environments where you learn to recognize the signs.

When you're in a persistent fear state, rational decisions become almost impossible and actions directly contrary to one's own interest become commonplace. It's like the skier who's trying to avoid a rock, but keeps staring at it and naturally starts turning toward it instead. Sometimes it's better to look away, even literally, toward the path you should take instead. Unfortunately for us all, Musk so far seems unable to do that.

> Really? Game engines are a moving target. You're telling me that slow development times for new engine features are a benefit?

I say, let the AAA teams do the innovating. After they take the first stab at it, you can usually learn a lot and do it much better the second time. In this way OS benefits a lot. The OS solution really just has to play the role that Mastodon has been playing. It doesn't need to match Twitter in terms of features. It just needs to be there and work for when shit goes down.

I don't think Godot will "win" until something dramatic happens with Unity, but when all those devs are looking for alternatives Godot will be there. And they'll also miss some of their favorite features of Unity and some will even contribute to Godot to bring those features to everyone

The thing that OS has going for it is everything benefits it. AAA company innovates? Great, lets see how it works out and maybe add it. AAA company goes under? Great we get a bunch of new users.

As long as it maintains the amazing community it's currently fostering and stays cross-platform, it'll do well. It can only go up imo
