We'll agree to disagree then, but remember nothing is set in stone. That is an article from 1980.

I spent 10 years working at Radio Shack, and the TRS was typically referred to as 'trash' but more people I spoke with.

Of course then, plenty of people working for the company could have been opening trashing it in front of corporate.
What's the difference between self representation and practicing law without a license - is there an exemption for unlicensed practitioners when they are performing on their own behalf, or this is a distinct category somehow?

I think parent poster meant asking them to scan images for you, rather than repairing a scanner. You mention the average cost for that in your post, but maybe going for someone who's doing it as a one-off rather than providing it as regular service could shrink down the price.
Ooh, thats why I thought upper-case A was broken! Apparently only when you write an all-uppercase word.
I linked newsboat with elinks. Actually, it's felinks, a fork of elinks which supports Python scripting. I also have a couple of small scripts and a bunch of rules for all major news sites that strip the HTML page to just the article. At some point I wanted to hook it up with the readability Python package, but it works pretty well already. Plus, this way all the links (in particular to images, which open with "feh" on demand) are preserved.

So on the feeds that are like you describe, I just hit "o" and can read the rest of the article without any noise 99% of the time right there in the terminal.
Cryptocurrency exchanges are not the same thing as cryptocurrencies. And not all exchanges are created equal.

Yes it is the wild west out there and consumers have gotten hurt. It is unfortunate. But crypto does serve a real and needed function of decentralized digital cash. I'm optimistic we'll have good regulated exchanges someday.

Maven uses groupIds and artifactIds to group dependencies.

GroupIds are reverse DNS notation based on a subdomain you control. They both group dependencies (duh!) and avoid the top-level squatting problem. It's much harder to mix up http-utils like in npm and pypi, since there's no http-utils. There's com.google:http-utils and there's org.apache:http-utils (all the names are made up for example purposes).

Maven has a local centralized artifact repository/cache where artifacts are downloaded and then referred to by every project. In Java there isn't even a need for symlinks, since Java has a dynamic classpath aka the places where the libraries are searched. Though Python could do the same thing with the PYTHONPATH.

Maven is plugin based and it's reasonably easy to build your own, so it's been extended like crazy to do all sorts of wonderful and loony things like build C++. It's actually expected to be extended, the tool itself implements Java builds through plugins, the core doesn't do that.

Oh, from the start it had tools to cache/proxy your own packages. So you'd be able to have a mini-centralized repo for your company with just the stuff you need, in case the main repo is down. Artifactory, Nexus, there are others. And not just cache/mirror, but proxy: you'd call your local repo, and if it wouldn't find the thing, it would download it from internet repos you configure.

Another thing, the package format and repo structure are simple and straightforward. So Gradle, sbt, other fancier Java build tools just use Maven repos.

There are a million other things like that, it's a very robust tool with a very robust ecosystem.

The main pain point is the early-2000s style XML configuration format :-|

That makes a lot of people avoid it due to verbosity. But you know what? The format is stable. It's quite readable. There are a gazillion tools to manage it, IDEs have advanced autocompletion for it, etc. And I'm not saying that other folks should copy the config file format, just the rest of the ideas. Heck, even Maven has Polyglot Maven, to use different config file formats (not super adopted, but it's there).
> (2) make housing an unattractive financial asset

I think about it a lot, and I'm not sure this is the problem, more like a symptom of something else.

Building a house is a capex exercise. Someone needs to provide the capital to get the house built. This can be someone who has outright cash, or a stable salary to get a mortgage (rent the capital for a fee) or an investor with their own capital, looking to charge rent.

What happens if you make the last category unattractive? Well a few things, possibly:

- Ideally, home builders would start charging less money for new houses, as the supply of buyers has dropped. The highest bidder has less money so prices will drop.

- But presumably, also less homebuilders would stay in this business. Inasmuch as they do build new homes, it is because the market price is attractive. Some will stay, but some will be pushed out. This in turn will drop supply of housing.

My fear would be that the net result would be prices staying where they are, supply of housing dropping, and the renters being pushed out. If anything, what we need is just more houses, built by someone, anyone.
The fraud is integral to their business model at this point, though.

They deliberately chose a way of storing products that makes them vulnerable to fraud. Fixing that would require storing them differently (which would be more expensive to them).

Likewise, cutting down on unsafe or white label products would increase the quality of the products they sell but adding a vetting process and stricter moderation would significantly increase labor costs per product and if companies at scale want to avoid one thing, it's dynamic labor costs.

They literally can't do better at cleaning up the fraud because there is no market incentive for them to do so and doing so would reduce profits and thus shareholder value. To borrow your line: it's just free markets and capitalism working as intended.

Hah for me it is.

The Alex Jones’s and Trumps and Fuentes’s and Kayne’s spewing their bile into a vacuum or even an isolated room into themselves (much like what Truth Social or Parler is) is a feature. They get to spew hate and dumb ideas and the rest of the civilized world need not hear or read it. Best of both worlds.

An underscore is a word-separating space that selects as part of the sentence.

If you use spaces in your normal writing, there's no reason you shouldn't use spaces in programming - except that a space prevents you from easily selecting the whole phrase, a very common operation programmers face.

So they replaced the space with a character that is effectively identical, but works better.

Some people figured they could just remove it. WellTellMeThis,DoesItMakeMyTextMoreReadableToYou? If you argue that camelcase is better, then shouldn't we adopt it into normal writing too? Why not?
I am a little confused by your point. I don't disagree, I just don't see it as dictatorial for people to be allowed to decide what happens in their communities. In fact, I think they only way any community can actually function is to have the right to exclude bad content and bad actors. That's true for a church or a book club or hacker news or facebook or anyone else.
> There is already around -0.9W/m2 of radiative forcing due to shipping (sulphur in shipping fuels) which is massive compared to volcanos.

It follows then that the effort to clean up ocean freight will backfire by accelerating global warming unless we do deliberate geoengineering to replicate the unintended forcing.
Django, in my previous role we did MVP websites for academics and the speed of getting a site up and running and deployed was just so fast. I’ve never worked with anything else that is as fast, anything like FastAPI or Flask or Express or similar either requires additional libraries to add really basic and common functionality or you have to roll it yourself.

I personally don’t think that if you’re building an MVP you should be worrying that much about how to store users in the database and add RBAC and building a way to add middleware and a storage layer and all of that crap. It’s not worth it, your application is not a special snowflake.

Edit: Should say that with that I mean serving HTML via Django. Usually I would use Bootstrap for layout. Very occasionally I’d add an API for some interactivity but I think for most MVPs interactivity is likely to be a secondary concern until later.
Well, the comments about the company not doing things correctly (licensing the algorithm), are correct.

It's actually critically important to have some kind of license to represent people in court, as well as someone to pillory, if they screw up, as it prevents some truly evil stuff from happening (I have seen many people robbed blind by licensed lawyers, and it would be a thousand times worse, if they could be represented by anyone that sounds convincing enough). The stakes are really high, and we shouldn't mess around (not in all cases, of course, but it would really suck, if someone got the needle, because a programmer forgot a semicolon).

That said, I think it's only a matter of time, before a significant amount of legal stuff is handled by AI. AI shines, in environments with lots of structure and rules; which pretty much defines the law.
That also sounds off because you're putting it as if yours is the only effect; don't you still have to combine what you say (less background noise, if I get it correctly - I do wonder about what SPL levels you're talking about here, and in any case they will be orders of magnitude smaller than sound produced by a train for instance, so does that noise still matter than?) and what the article says (inversion)? tldr; please elaborate, preferably with references.
Nah fam. Trump got kicked off of twitter and the world was better for it. Same with Nick Fuentes. The list goes on.
> And that number can go up to almost half of the population in the most absurd scenario.

It can get worse. If there are N parrties, the winner could take all seats with a vote percentage of 1/N+epsilon. Or could take the majority with 1/(2N)+epsilon.

For example a party could win the majority of seats with 10%+epsilon of the votes in a five party system. While another party could have a minority with 60%-epsilon.

I think it depends on what you're working on. I often find myself having to use legal terms for which there are no direct translations (because they do not exist in English-speaking countries), or there are analogous terms, but they do not mean exactly the same thing, or are very awkward to use (for example, a common abbreviation which everyone recognizes at once becomes something incomprehensible after translating it to English). So we can either use Russian for comments and git commits, or spend a bunch of time digging though specialized dictionaries and force everyone getting acquainted with the code base to do the same.
Fully RESTful, yet no mention of hypermedia.
The theory goes something like. volcanoes put a geologic amount of what we would consider polluting gasses into the atmosphere. why then is there a tendency for global cooling after a large volcano eruption and not global warming? The answer is that volcano plumes may emit a large amount of sulfur dioxide which has the cooling effect.

But we worked very hard to remove sulfur compounds from our fuels, after all nobody wants acid rain. What if we acted too soon, what if those same sulfur compounds would mitigate global warming, perhaps we should have left them in?

The primary problem with this action the that the sulfur is in the wrong place, too low in the atmosphere. Perhaps the solution is high sulfur jet fuel.

Personally I think that is was global engineering that got us into this mess and it will be global engineering that gets us out of it.

Japanese is rated as either the #1 or #2 hardest language for a native English speaker to learn (and the reverse is true which explains why you often run into people with little or no English there as opposed to in, say, Western Europe, where many people are practically natively fluent in English). People can and do learn Japanese, but it isn't something that one can easily learn in their spare time the way English speakers can learn French or Spanish.

Brian Armstrong, the co-founder and chief executive officer of Coinbase Global, announced on Jan. 10 that he was laying off about 950 employees—approximately 20% of Coinbase’s overall workforce. In a blog post, Armstrong wrote that employees who were losing their jobs would receive an email on their personal email accounts—and added that they’d already been locked out of the company’s systems. “I realize this last step feels sudden and harsh,” he wrote. “But I believe it’s the only prudent choice given our responsibility to protect customer information.”

In this specific case, I don't think that's necessarily the outcome. Our industry has yet to accept a universally-acknowledged equivalent of a lockout/tagout (LOTO) interlock. There is no need for a bureaucracy if we have cryptographically-enforced multisig Shamir secret sharing keys where a LOTO prevents (in this case) a system from spinning up while another system (the backup system apparently in this case) is running. Allow it to be overridden by a sufficiently senior manager or say a sufficient number of lower-seniority managers, which leaves an audit trail. Integrate with a change management, notification, secrets storage infrastructures, and infrastructure as code, and it encodes these infrastructure dependencies into code, and can be queried to auto-construct change interlock sequences for a particular desired state.

Of course, once you take advantage of such a representation at scale by deploying tremendously more complex infrastructures, you then have to deal with the dependency network meta challenge lest you inadvertently fall into dependency hell. While towards there lies NP-hard problems, they're still computable to a reasonable degree and I dare say a more robust situation than doing it all by hand like we do today.

The real challenge is the vast majority of devops staff today would really dislike reasoning about such a representation when it blows up in their faces, and I can't blame them for that kind of reaction.
But this does not get us out the mess, it just kicks the can down the road, and if we stop kicking once, it explodes.
>Okay... who would judge those who want to do experiments to the global atmosphere from their country.

Replace "experiments" with the more general/relevant "atmosphere modifications," which includes pollution for amoral profit motive.

What makes "experiments" special? Is that reasoning morally justifiable, given the many millions who will die in the "business as usual" case?

The idea that government is broken so you rely on personal relationships to get around is fundamentally bad.

In the Netherlands, you would just take a picture of the problem and post it to the Gemeente (municipality) - in fact, they have an online map you can pin these complaints to, and it's public.

You get a case number, and you get updates until it's fixed, which is usually pretty fast.

elixir/phoenix is the best platform for knocking out an MVP today. Its batteries included and has a frontend system called liveview that lets you write most of your frontend using elixir too. You get built in pubsub and websockets which are important for any new kind of software product. Users demand more interactivity and phoenix lets you do it and scale from day 1. Ecto is easily the best sql database library I've ever worked with. Its comparable to linq only it is uses elixir macros so its just a library.

1. you get a lot of out of the box rails like glue jsut like rails or django but the runtime perf is way faster. you can get away without even using caching in prod for awhile

2. supabase is written in elixir

3. lambda could functiosn have their place but loc you in to a cloud provider. I can move my elixir mvps accross providers with no issue and I won't get any surprise bills.

I almost missed the cleverness of this joke about making a dumb SQL error of dropping a table to solve a problem, until I had nearly finished writing my correction post for the two other SQL errors buried in the joke (DROP vs truncate, orders vs invoices)... when the word "Dave" kept nagging at me and I realized the other two errors were the point of your joke.

Nice one. Thanks. :)

P.S. Based on my response to this post, ChatGPT3 spam posts on forums containing subtle errors may ironically actually increase online engagement as people write correction posts to hidden ChatGPT3 ones to help others / make themselves feel smart when "someone on the internet is wrong!"
Forgive me, the intent was not to communicate a dismal attitude. Agree completely that it is one of the best places to live and all the rest.

I personally find the mental model that includes the dynamics of dominance and subjugation along with the responses of solidarity and resistance extremely helpful in understanding the world as a whole. Why are things a certain way etc? Because of X.

It is a physics, and is more completely predictive and reliable than a mental model that sees only oppression and anxiety (as many people are limited to) or one that sees only ambition and advantage (as many peoples' blinders dictate).

Going further, I would argue that the existence of exploitation in a system is in fact essential, as is providing tools to resist and join and brace against it. But eliminating it is impossible and a non-goal.
> 4 billion years of evolution

that is a pretty important part of the equation. what if the universe is the minimum viable machine for creating intelligence? if you think of the universe as computer and evolution as a machine learning algorithm then we already have an example of what size of a computer and how long it takes for ML to create AGI. it seems presumptuous to believe that humans will suddenly figure out a way to do the same thing a trillion times more efficiently.
Because the Russian government is much more dangerous to me than the US one.
