As a highly motivated cybersecurity researcher with a strong
foundation in web penetration testing, I am seeking an internship
or entry-level position where I can utilize my skills and
knowledge to make a positive impact. I am confident in my ability
to learn quickly and adapt to new environments, and I am excited
to continue learning and growing as a professional in the field.
You don't have to use Pylance though, just use Pyright itself. While it's a shame that Pylance isn't open source, I won't fault anyone for not doing so, that's their choice, just as I don't open source all of my code either.

I saw these here two months ago[1] and crowdfunded a pair immediately. They haven't arrived yet. The only potential downside I see is noise. It wasn't mentioned in the video but it seemed like ambient sound was seldom used in the mix, and I'm easily annoyed by the kind of high-pitch sound emitted by everything Dyson makes, for example.

But even if noise is a showstopper for me, I'll consider it money well spent. In fact I'd be happy to go back in time to have crowdfunded them sooner!

So our second derivative is negative. It is fundamentally unsustainable for anything else to be the case forever, right? That would imply linear or greater growth in perpetuity on a finite planet where we and our livestock already comprise 96% of all mammal biomass.

The drop in sperm count is of course concerning, though if we can't get our act together on birth control and family planning then it's probably one of the least tragic ways for our population to get knocked down to a more sustainable level. Humans generally fail at prisoner's dilemma ("if we have fewer babies, other nations will overtake us!"), so it seems necessary that some outside force eventually mitigate our continual failure there--and again, when compared to mass wars or starvation, a lower fertility rate is actually a pretty peaceful course-correction, so long as it doesn't plummet too low.

It's not the nine months of gestation that's the barrier, it's the subsequent 25 years of child rearing. And as a society we value individuals and not just quantities: if I'm accused of infanticide offering to have another child will not balance the criminal books.
I edited my post a while ago, but I shouldn't have ask about "verbatim" copies. See reply to sibling for a more interesting question.
Yes, what we need is a good proof of identity system -- that's all username/password are trying to achieve. There are several systems out there, including some standards. I guess it's kind of a chicken/egg situation where few logins support it because few people have it and few people have it because few logins support it.
The "data" here is photographs, which all jurisdictions I'm aware of treat as coprightable.
> As a user I've seen and used this crap. My understanding of the market is much better than yours, it seems, because I approach it as a user. And yeah, you definitely don't listen to the users.

Declaring that you always know best. When you are asked for evidence your only cited evidence is yourself. That your personal experience is representative of the primary needs of entire markets of users. And that you know better than what transpired between myself and hundreds of users. You seem to be remarkably arrogant.

This isn't productive, I'm done.

Good day.
I'm looking how diverse candidates from Ivies meaningfully differentiate themselves. Ivies admit to discriminating against Asians, so on average, a BIPOC from an Ivy will be less qualified than an Asian. Why would you hire them, then? The pitch for diversity is always that diverse teams make better decisions, but it's not racial diversity that does it, it's different lived experiences. Companies exist to make money, so how can they turn someone's insight from an underprivileged background into sales when poor people buy less? This was also in the context of an MBA program where the whole purpose is making money. It'd be different for a PM of an app where 100% reach is the goal.
What are people's and the market take on Starburst? I haven't kept up with databases and the general market, but recently heard about them. Is there a sizeable demand and market for them? Any other big players to watch for?

Completely agree with you and Linux is great for my home computer, but for some of us Windows at work is an unwavering reality.
Yeah, this is a perfect example of why Yelp is not instigating this.

Do you really think Yelp is asking their employees leverage their friend's network to leave negative reviews or do you think this sales guy is at risk of losing his job for not converting enough and so he on his own asks a friend to help him keep his job?

If Yelp wanted to extort businesses, they wouldn't need employees to ask their friends. They could just adjust the search ranking to down rank businesses that don't want to pay.

This video doesn't pass the smell test.
They, speaking of the hosts, do not make anythong from deposits, I am working in finance, rest assured the reason is a different, much more nefarious one.

They want to charge you for potential damages, done by you or not, as well as wear and tear.

Never, ever put a deposit for them, not even by credit card.

And if you pay for the stay, always , always use a credit card, not a debit card.
That way, you can pull the chargeback trigger on them.

A chargeback is their worst nightmare, trust me, it can have so many implications and hurt airbnb so badly if they are subject to chargebacks.
Typescript similarity is expected as maintainer of pyright does talk with typescript maintainers and sometimes pyright adds features inspired by typescript's inference.

I think the major reasons for mypy is if you are working on a library to be shared with many others (especially open source one) you'd like library to be compatible with mypy as your users are likely to use mypy as it's still most popular type checker. So for open source libraries it makes sense to use both mypy/pyright. For projects that you do not expect main users (company internal one you define standards) it's more fine to pick type checker you prefer. The other main place mypy can be helpful is plugins if you need some behavior outside of type system for a library you work with a lot.

Also pyright is implemented in typescript which does mean you'll need to have a CI dependency on javascript environment that python project's often don't need. Lastly for typical python developer it's a bit easier to make pull request to mypy vs pyright just as they normally have more python knowledge then javascript knowledge. This is pretty minor given most people don't debug there own type checker and pyright's bug list is very short.
Tail does not wag the dog when it comes to agility, scientists find
The fact that the malthusian catastrophe has not yet occured does not discredit it. In fact this can be explained by agricultural yield gains that were substantial in the first half of the 20th century, thanks to using hybridized cultivars and industrial fertilizers and pesticides. Where will the gains be in the future when we approach another resource limit? We will have to continue to use genetic modification to improve our crop yields, and these days marketing executives have poisoned that word in the minds of many who now seek out gmo free foods specifically. This is also to say nothing about the state of the environment, how we take out elemental resources from the land that took a very long time to deposit in this place, bring them to a distant market and never replace them, diminishing the fertility of the area. Or how we do the opposite to our aquatic environments through eutrophication.

The idea that technology will always bail us out seems foolish to rely upon in the grand scheme, eventually the disequilibriums we create in these environments we exploit will be too extreme to successfully manage and maintain a system as complex as a local ecology. These disequilibriums are already extreme in many places and policy makers rarely seem to care unless some stakeholder is set to see a profit.
Chrome uses the host OS's cryptographic apis (ie dpapi on Windows). Which in turn relies usually on the user's pin/password.
Maybe the same as when someone writes a bad check? It's my understanding that people get arrested for that, it's not left just to lawyers and civil contract courts (which not everyone can afford).

Maybe also make wage theft easier to prove, with a required paper trail like an employment contract and signed time sheets, more investigators, etc.

I'd be curious how other countries might handle this better, there's often places that have already done a good job of figuring stuff like this out. The cynic in me worries that dollars count more than votes, and that the system is not as interested in protecting employees as it is protecting employers.
The question makes more sense if you additionally pose an alternative (i.e. change my position to Y). Given strictly like this, all I can really say is that I would change my position if you demonstrated to me that it was in my own or others' self-interest to behave differently?
I use W10Privacy (does work with w11!). Takes 5 minutes. Default debloating and de-spying options are pretty good, but you can customize everything. I usually re-run it after every major update, but honestly haven't noticed that Windows tries to re-enable anything suspicious after updates.

Regarding this, I think I am doing something stupid: I am syncing my keepassxc database with syncthing, and I am also using a keyfile. The keyfile, I copy manually from my computer to my other devices. But when it comes to my phone/tablet, I copy the key to some random location in the android filesystem, say DCIM. Is that... like... ok? Or is it something any app has access to and people now have my key potentially?
Even better if there was an economical solution for farms to turn their own ag wastes into fuel on site or even in local coops. Farmers would jump on that in a minute if they could solve their waste and fuel problems with one solution.

A better way to debloat it - install Linux ;)
Does this mean we could fragment an application into, say, a low-level "engine" or "kernel" in C or Rust, an application server to handle requests to it, and the view be any of a React Native mobile app, desktop app, or convenience web API?

Please forgive the lack of background of this next question, but does this mean you do not support BFF pattern?

Have you heard of Dubray's SAM (State-Actor-Model) approach?

Curious about your replies and thank-you for your time.
Any link to that YouTube tutorial? It's hard for me to imagine someone who presumably knows how to create CLI scripts not independently coming up with a solution very similar to yours.
How would you add also the count of the votes of each comment in the aggregation, as per the example in the article?
Same when we went from horse carriages to gasoline powered cars. There was no infrastructure in place to buy hydrocarbons for otto-engines, other than in pharmacies.

Industries are built when demand is rising, infrastructure always has to change to cover the needs of the population.

EVs will be important sinks for electrical energy in the future, to balance out demand.
Some of our greatest scientific achievement come from aristocratic or independently wealthy folks who don't need to earn a living.

So I wouldn't knock these subsidies.

I think we could rearrange society to provide such subsidies on a sustainable basis if we choose to.
The original hardware was grayscale, including the NeXTcube Berners-Lee used. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXT_MegaPixel_Display

> The original MegaPixel Display was a monochrome 17" monitor displaying 4 brightness levels (black, dark gray, light gray and white) in a fixed resolution of 1120 x 832 at 92 DPI (just shy of a true megapixel at 931,840 total pixels) at 68 Hz

I believe NeXT wanted the higher resolution, to display a full page on a screen, more than they wanted color. Having both would have been very expensive.

It wasn't until the NeXTstation Color that NeXT hardware included color.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXTstation informs me the NeXTstation/Turbo had 256 KB VRAM for 4 colors (black, white and two shades of gray), and the NeXTstation Color/Turbo Color had 1.5 MB VRAM for 4,096 colors (12-bit).

It adds that the grayscale NeXTstation was US$4,995 (equivalent to $10,400 in 2021) and the color one was US$7,995 (equivalent to $16,600 in 2021).

By comparison, in 1990, https://everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_ii/specs/mac_iifx.htm... informs me "The Macintosh IIfx can support multiple displays -- originally at great cost -- using multiple video cards in NuBus expansion slots. The Macintosh IIfx also can support multiple resolutions, 512x384 and 640x480 are common. Portrait (vertical orientation) displays also were popular."
I have never met a full-stack developer that is comfortable with the full stack. I am also pretty sure full-stack was coined by recruiters and marketing folks to create a technical middle class.
In my experience, unmodified Windows 10 is just as capable of demolishing itself, repeatedly if needed to destroy one's will to continue using it. So capable in fact, that I don't believe any debloating measures could possibly make it any worse.

Then again I seem to have had less luck than most, with all kinds of bugs from keyboard layouts to USB ports. And even a period where an updated, freshly installed Windows 10 would not even boot on my machine.

Yea, there are many things in windows that you adjust (hack) in the registry, but there are many things that you cannot. There’s also no guarantee that when you make a mod like this that it will last forever. You’re at the whim of MS and any single update could be a reckoning.
Damn, that's a bummer of a state of affairs

It would be better. If any other OS gets as good in window management as Windows is right now I would happily make the switch. MacOS is close (with extra apps) but it is not there yet unfortunately. And that is why MS can get away with this.
I can't decide if it's a feature or a bug that there are at least 3 major type checkers for Python.
I don't eat eggs by themselves either, but I quite like the raw egg yolks that are often served as a companion to beef tartare.

Where I have (so far) drawn the line is raw tripe, which I've occasionally encountered on the menus of Ethiopian restaurants (I'm a big fan of Kitfo, their take on beef tartare). But I'm not a huge fan of cooked tripe either.

I'm sure that naturally-occurring water sources will have much higher mineral content (i.e. dissolved solids) than distilled water.

But I'm not convinced that "drinking water" is a significant contributor of minerals to the human diet.

My instinct (not a nutritionist!) is that there are far more accumulated minerals in the plant and animal "apex hydrators" that I eat than I could get directly from water. And I probably drink a lot more direct water than most people do.

The anti-DW "leaching" argument is that you have the minerals in your body already through other sources and accumulation, and when you drink DW (yuck anyway), it has so much capacity to dissolve things that it leaches necessary stuff from you. The counterargument is that most of the incorporated minerals aren't coming out of your organs easily, so DW mostly sucks up bad stuff that you'd probably excrete most of anyway, but every little bit helps. These both seem flawed to me!
Figuring I can be a bit more open since it's a throwaway account (edit - this kinda escalated)

I lost eighty pounds in a year with that body image "trick", but that's only half the story at best. That's what I desired, but it wouldn't have been enough motivation. And if you have a severe mismatch between your body image and your body that's not going to cause good vibes, will it?

So I don't know how depression manifests for others. For me it has usually taken the shape of a particular mean intonation in my inner monologue (I don't have or hear separate voices let alone characters, I'm not a schizo). When my depression gets worse, that part of my inner monologue gets more frequent and nasty, like incredibly nasty in ways I haven't ever even thought about being to anyone in my entire life, ever, not even close. I've literally never told anyone about this and tearing up a bit now. I'm kinda at a loss how to describe it. Calling it "mean spirited" would be the most British understatement in the last few ten-thousand years. When I had really bad days it felt like "it" just wanted to destroy me, like total annihilation until nothing was left and then discard (suicide) the empty husk. Thinking about this makes me wonder how I survived those days. I'd guess without binge-watching some series and binging some video games I might actually be dead now. Not such a waste of time after all, I suppose...

So uh I don't know how exactly I've done it. And even if I knew, I wouldn't tell because it's just such an obviously bad idea. I don't think it was a conscious choice, because even to a very depressed person it would've been obvious how insane doing that would be. But what I did was I weaponized that part of me, the depression, into helping me loose weight.

When I went hungry during a day or wanted to eat more, and obviously if you loose that much weight that quickly you're going to pretty often, ... I "let" that mean part speak up and be nasty and ugly and mean to me as much as "it" wanted to. People thought I was "soooo strong-willed" doing this but that's really not true. I just bullied myself into doing it. Every day. Sure... I had a positive idea that I wanted to achieve, but that wasn't how I got there. It's probably an incredibly bad idea to do it like this and a super easy way to end up with an eating disorder or more mental health issues, but at least depression was finally good for something. And it's way better now that I don't loathe and hate what I see in the mirror any more. I can look in a mirror now and say "you look fine today" to myself. And when I put nice clothes on, because I have some of those now, even with colors, I think I look good and I've even got a few compliments and guess how often that happened in the last decade before.

I didn't know that had to get out. But well. There you have it. Does "co-opting depression to rain fire and brimstone on yourself so you stop being fat so you stop being depressed so much" count as "working on your mental health"?
It took us a long time to figure out 0. This idea of multivariate time series is "tacit knowledge" and once we get good at modeling it we will never look back. As a laymen this is the most accessible I've seen these concepts.

better (more suggestive) name than "mypy"
That makes a lot of sense. It is hard enough on small codebases. I'm very familiar with some c++98 behemoths and I can't think of any good ways to go about it piecemeal. The interop truly is painful.
