A "packet" is definitely not the way to go about preparing a good mate, but it's also very much an acquired taste. Once you've gotten past your initial reaction, the flavor profile of various yerbas is really remarkable. Unfortunately, that can take a while. In cultures where it's consumed, everyone is constantly exposed to it, so the progression is somewhat inevitable.
This is really interesting and neat, and also is, I think, a use of GPT-3 that seems, unfortunately, almost optimized for losing a USA copyright claim by the owners of the original source material.

If I were OP, I wouldn't sell these, removing the 'buy' button would up your chances slightly.

But seriously, this is a really cool use of GPT-3.
You have 2 databases to update. Either both have to be updated or neither, because you're installing a new version of a program. Actually, installing the new program should also be part of the transaction! Either the whole thing works, or you are back at the original (working) version of the program.

Trying to coordinate all the filesystem operations to make that atomic is not that simple in my experience. It's hard to test too.
Step 1: No sources? No trust.

Step 2: Sources? Check them. Do they exist at all? Do they say what the thing in question says they say?

Step 3: Check for other (non-cited) sources that confirm what the cited sources say. Check for other sources that dispute it.
Most small transactions would be via lightning channels between exchange providers. Basically, whomever was running the backend of the wallet app would be an exchange provider. In an ideal world, people would keep their long term savings in other instruments like bonds or even gold and keep day to day cash in exchange providers. Yes, they would be trusted, but not a lot. I think the fees on the Blockchain would be substantial enough that most people wouldn't be using it for coffee and it would only be for bank to bank transactions of these exchange providers.

7 transactions a second would mean 604k transactions a day which is a reasonable number for major counterparties with more than about 35 btc each. (21M/604k)

> There are very few reasons any client implementing MastoAPI shouldn't also support Akkoma/Pleroma.

Depends how you implement it. e.g. If you use `int64` for your IDs, Akkoma and GotoSocial won't work. Or if you send your POST parameters in the URL, Akkoma won't work. There's other subtle stuff too - toot codes unset optional fields as `null` in the JSON it sends (rather than leaving them out) which breaks both Akkoma and GotoSocial.

In summary, someone needs to write a decent MastoAPI spec and get everyone to agree on that rather than this ad-hoc balkanisation.
Design is a function of your content. Start there. Write the content for your website. Edit it. Structure it in logical groups that transition well from one another (story).
Once you have that, you can start thinking about visual design as a way to emphasis and give a punch to the meaning of each piece of the story. Don't let yourself get distracted by superfluous design elements you see in a lot of modern website. You might use or two of those, but you might just keep it minimal, focus on good typography and visual hierarchy, and your website will look professional if you master just those few things.

Strava acquires Fatmap, a 3D mapping platform for the great outdoors
If you're not using the latest distro (e.g. LTS) and don't want to compile programs from scratch, there are cases where it is easier to run the latest version of a program using the Windows version instead of the latest pre-compiled Linux binary due to requiring newer dependencies. Except for OpenGL issues that I haven't figured out yet, I found it easier to run the Windows Octave 7.3 on Ubuntu 22.04 with WINE.
Decentralized Identity: Intersections in the Web3 Full Stack
Even more, I imagine the average flight would look extraordinary. You would always hit some rare event if you looked hard enough. Rare events are so common! What are the odds that this many people on the plane were military / government / communists / CEOs / Jews / elderly? Well, pretty high if you're looking after-the-fact. And if you look into the background of every person and started reaching out a bit it would get weirder. You'd have tons of former whatevers, brother-in-laws of important people, criminals, all sorts. And people would be absolutely certain it meant something.

In the case of MH370, this is why I always found the simulator history of the pilot the most relevant. It doesn't require this long chain of relationships like some other things. It is the most impactful person recently doing something related to the event that is extremely weird behavior.
It's not going to be accidentally hit. And even if somehow it does get hit accidentally, there's a CABIN ALTITUDE warning that would go off before it becomes a problem.
A good 32% reduction taking it to less than a 1$ per TB.
Not at all unlikely. That is one of the loneliest pieces of a very large ocean. A lot of the recognizable stuff will sink, and the stuff that floats will spend months being broken down by seawater or having stuff grow on it. Eventually it will wash up on a beach where it will be cleaned up with the literal tons of trash that wash up on any beach these days. Or will not be cleaned up because it is a place where humans don’t go.

If you think of a pristine beach its pristine because it gets cleaned up regularly. Any ocean facing beach these days accumulates so much trash. I used to do beach cleanup surveys on windward coasts, and we would regularly find stuff that could have belonged to an airplane (carbon fiber, composite honeycomb, etc.) it was almost never worth investigating since there was almost no way to know how long it had been in that beach and how long it had been floating in the currents before that. This was in the Caribbean, so I mostly assumed that all that stuff was related to drug smuggling planes. The only time we ever got a call back about something we found on the beach is when we found a drift buoy from NOAA.

This is the long way of saying that it surprises me not a bit that nothing much was found. It’s more surprising that anything at all was found
A BPF based lock tracer for the PostgreSQL database
This project provides tools that allow you to gain deep insights into PostgreSQL's locking activities and troubleshoot locking-related issues (e.g., performance problems or deadlocks).
Thanks for pointing this out. But I didn't see that in the webhooks or api.
I didn't see something for pending.
I think the opposite is true, most software projects benefit from safety and not performance
And we also have discovered numerous pieces of MH370 debris, all in the kinds of places in eastern Africa where the simulations said they should end up.
Microsoft really seemed to be ahead of the curve with console security. They really thought this through back in 2005 or so, to the point where clearly, they knew people would hack the drives to rewrite the serial number. It's probably for the best that they never actually did anything about the knowledge that gave them, but they clearly stayed a step ahead of the game. As much as I hate it, their actions show a great deal of respect towards the ingenuity of console hackers, because if they didn't, they would've never bothered to do such an effort thwarting them. Compared to the Nintendo Wii, which had a decent security model that was ultimately ill-fated due to several fatal flaws in both hardware and firmware, and the PlayStation, where Sony seems to have a continual problem developing security measures that hackers and modders can just completely ignore, Microsoft really pulled it off. I still wish game consoles would allow you to just run your own code. Xbox has dev mode, which I haven't ever used since I generally do not buy game consoles, but it does seem like the absolute best option that's been available to consumers lately. Before then, it was OtherOS (ill-fated,) PS2 Linux (cool but kinda limited,) and Net Yaroze? Which seemed awesome to me, but unfortunately was a relatively uncommon good. Beyond that, official escapes from the walled garden are truly scarce. A sad reality that will get worse when measures like remote attestation finally make their way to general purpose computers. Remember: you can never have nice things. Ever.

Thanks for FATXplorer BTW, it is very useful.
Ask HN: How can I learn from an existing codebase?
I have the opportunity to learn backend by studying a codebase of an abandoned project. It's a company project, and I asked the devs who made it to make sure that I'm not doing something they don't want me to do.

Problem is, I barely qualify as a backend developer. I'm a junior who was hired as a fullstack and yet haven't touched backend for as long as I'm in this company. The only things I made was following tutorial videos and documentation, which are obviously comparably simple.

Which means I'm excited that I can finally sink my teeth into a real, breathing project to try to extract as much knowledge as I can. From how to structure it, to how they handle middleware, the requirements they had to fulfill, etc.

How can I start growing my skill by doing this, though? I can either a) treat it like a video tutorial and just type the same things they wrote and see how they click, b) try to get the gist on where things go or ask one of the devs who authored it to show me around, but that's company time and I'm sure he has his own workload to do and the last thing I want to be is a burden.

Do you have any recommended way to study and grow your personal skills by reading other people's projects?
There are 8 billion people on the planet and remote work & automation is changing the game.

If you won't crawl through broken glass, cool, there are 5000+ people in India who might, and a couple hundred jr IT support types a lot closer who are being replaced with an IAM system.

Two World Wars killed the main working segments of entire generations -- young men -- and allowed the West to take the lead for a while. The tech booms prolonged that a little further. But now them halcyon days are over homie. Hustle, or I'm replacing you with a math whiz from Delhi.

Anecdotal experience: The people in my circle who are not in tech industry are having schadenfreude when it comes to tech layoffs. The sentiment is "look-at-these-high-earning-hotshots" ... who is laughing now? Extending to wider people (like journalists, commentators, etc) this is one of factor behind newsworthiness.

> have tech layoffs always been happening during financial 'bad times'?

Yes. Although in this case, a lot of companies over-hired in last 2-3 years and hence I feel current round of layoffs are just the beginning. There will be more.

> I remember the dotcom bust

I think compared to dotcom era, tech is much more tightly coupled in our daily lives. Whatever can be digitized will be digitized. Whatever can be automated will be automated. So tech is here to stay and hence I would expect a revival in late 2024-early 2025.
I want to believe the temperature of the water is the biggest factor. A lot of people seem to consume yerba mate just barely below the boiling point.
Simply parroting information that is accused of being fake because it appeared in another source isn’t an argument for its validity.
I think it depends. If you need to write many slides fast, this is a very good format to get it done.
Nice, at least this doesn't seem like one of those horrible 60s designs that spewed radiation everywhere by basically detonating a small nuclear bomb against a pusher plate.

I think nuclear propulsion is there only way forward for interplanetary colonisation because we've long reached the limits of chemical. And ion is too slow.
Makes sense to me, and it does seem to be legal from a quick google search. I'd certainly ask my accountant for advice before doing it though.
Have you tried savvycal.com? I've been using it for over a year now. Best calendly alternative I've found.
No, not if content is coming from a blocked/blacklisted server -- which is all up to each server's mods --- and also if you want to move, your content does not go with you. Mastodon isn't perfect or even 'it'.
There are plenty of games like CoD, it just has cultural significance because it's widely available and an existing community. A lot of skills people have on PS will not carry over to Xbox, so they can just start playing any of the other competitors. Every video game franchise can die, and many have, it wouldn't make sense for Microsoft to make it an Xbox exclusive and risk killing it. As I keep saying, they can just make delayed DLCs on PS or even DLC exclusives. Many DLCs are already more profitable than the core game.
There are places that have fees based on income, or their used to be when I was in counseling. The place I went had that, I think mostly for drug and alcohol abuse, but maybe just for everyday counseling too. I wasn't using it so don't know much about it, but it is/was a thing.
The actual nice solution would be to fix those issues and commit them back upstream, but hey :)

>Parenting is hard. Parenting someone who is already an adult is harder still. Beyond incentives, they might not have the resources to rehabilitate the prisoners.

The social and economic benefits of rehabilitation far outweigh any costs incurred in rehabilitating folks.

Communities would be wealthier and safer if we didn't penalize convicted persons for the rest of their lives, by denying them jobs, housing and access to the financial system.

And since we do penalize folks that way, is it any wonder they turn to more potentially lucrative illegal pursuits?

And the economic argument is even stronger than the social argument. All those folks could learn skills and provide boosts to local economies if they were allowed to get decent jobs. That would improve overall GDP and provide a strong incentive for convicted felons to walk the straight and narrow.

Is it necessarily easy? No. But it makes societal and economic sense.

I think this has been conventional wisdom for a few years now.

> what I don't get with this argument, why does the quote only give 3 bits of entropy?

Good question. 3 bits is based on the part I mentioned where "to be or not to be" is one of the top 10 quotes. log(10) is about 3. The reasoning for this is that this quote is going to be in a "dictionary" your attacker has. 10 is probably a bit unfair on my part, because an attacker is probably really going to be guessing from a larger pool of quotes, but it ends up not mattering _too_ much. If their pool of quotes is 1000 long, that's more like 10 bits of entropy (still far, far too little on its own).

> Are the cracking algorithms so good that they know to try "or not to be" after they get to "to be". Also, as far as I remember you can't get a "you are partially there" result. Either you get the password or not. So they wouldn't know that "to be" are the first five chars.

Yeah, it's not based on anything like this. Assuming whoever implemented the password input (bitwarden in this case) isn't _maliciously_ incompetent, an attacker would get no information from a partially-correct password guess.

> Even for badly pw parts which could traced back to me. Let’s say I use my girlfriends name, surname and birthdate. If someone targets me directly, definitely a bad idea. For a random bruteforcer or even a dictionary attack with rockyou.txt, as an example, it wouldn't change a thing.

This is not completely wrong, but somewhat incomplete. Names and birthdates/years (or dates in general) are both really common parts of passwords. So an attacker will have a dictionary of common names (or ~all names, there's not that many of us), and every date that's possible to be important to someone.

So that already reduces the entropy a lot. And yeah it's bad enough if someone targets you directly that it's just a horrible idea.

The other problem with schemes like this: if you're using a password of that form, you're probably reusing it multiple places. This allows any site you have an account at to trivially access any _other_ place you have an account at. Really, really bad news.
Right? I guess it depends on your insurance and if this benefits some people, great. But with rare exception all my prescriptions are already $0 with no subscription fee to Amazon and the balance are all $5-$10 just going to a bog standard CVS.
> It affords me no benefit.

Sure they could relicense it to something wildly different, but they can't retroactively take back old versions of it, so you can still run it as it was when you made the contributions.

I wish nobody required CLAs, but I'm glad that there are products like Cal that would (assumedly) be closed contribution otherwise due to (real or perceived) legal risk.
The inmates don't receive 100k/year.

If we didn't have prisons would we punish criminals in a different way or just let criminal commit as many crimes as they'd like? I guess taking a hand or a foot is cheaper than a prison but most people think prison is more human.
I like debating. I use debate to test out theories and ideas all the time. It's a great way to learn what works and what doesn't. You don't have to believe everything you debate. The idea that people have to earnestly debate their own beliefs is a limiting mindset.

It seems like what people are trying to say is that market outcomes dictate market success. Eg: bad market outcomes = bad place to hold a market, but no one is flat out saying it. At the same time, we have the idea that markets are "the best thing we have and any limits on markets produce negative outcomes." This is a contradiction and at this point at this place, I don't think debating that topic directly is going to teach me anything. Debating the fringes, however is.

It's the same thing as saying "X doesn't work" on StackOverflow and getting people to prove that it does. It's that we're doing it with something non-tech this time.
Absolutely. I don't know where you get your answers but I've seen systems like this in practice and they are uncannily accurate. See also: smart electricity meters.
This is a bit of a vent so apologies in advance but as someone who has been though the same thing OP has I have heard this suggestion from literally everyone. Even if you do the test and it's test results are accurate it's not 100% clear what to do with that information - it's mostly the same stuff OP would have or did already try.
Yup, you definitely have to be willing to waste 10+ minutes of polite arguing and be willing to insist they run only the main bill or you'll walk out without paying anything at all. Which in many (most?) social situations, it's not worth doing. But if you're willing to take a moral stand against sneaky surcharges, maybe you care enough.

Again, literally everything about it sucks.
Correct.

> Is there new/ongoing work to support that?

Not a chance -- very focused on free, from what I gather I don't think they even allow discussion of non-free software.
Would be fun for a show like law and order to do an episode where someone is framed with chloroform and part of solving the crime is excluding the framed person because the chloroform TV trope isnt based in science.
T-Mobile plan prices are inclusive of all fees and taxes.
Seemed cogent to me. At the very least, it contributed to discussion more than you dismissing something using a very tired cliche.
No, but I do have relatives using Pillpack (Amazon bought them awhile back) and they love the service. It automatically separates each day's pills into a little plastic bag labeled with the date so you never have to remember if you took your medicine that day. Great for the elderly but really useful for anyone taking a regular prescription.

> Microsoft Corp., the world's largest software maker, loses at least $153 (U.S.) on each Xbox 360 video game console it sells, based on just the cost of components and assembly, a research firm says. Parts such as processors and manufacturing cost $552.27 for each machine that retails at $399, El Segundo, Calif.

With this context it doesn’t surprise me they try to recoup something on each optional hardware upgrade.
ah, isn't the bulk of compensation in stock anyways?
The strangeness of this story - a 777 disappearing into thin air in one of the most surveilled and monitored (due to geopolitics) places on earth leaving no traces behind - has spooked people so much that there is a section on the wikipedia page debunking theories related to black holes.
It has more to do with people's expectations of fiction books being different for this format.

With non-fiction it's more straight forward. Simple Q&A.
For IT departments there is a way to request a reset from apple if you have apple enterprise support and can prove that the device is yours. It has to be in DEP or you have to send them an invoice.
I haven't really, because the only place where i needed valid html generated mostly by the program is on the navbar , the taglist etc. the main docu is kinda plaintext on a div when rendering html.

changes all occurrences of $1 to $2 in file $3.
