It's kind of the Oscars of the German speaking world with the interesting twist that it is not awarded by a committee but by the current owner. It's held for a lifetime so no pompous ceremony each year.

... and it's cursed:

> One exception to this rule came in 1954, when Werner Krauß was not determined by the previous holder Albert Bassermann but by a committee of German-speaking actors. Three times Bassermann had chosen a successor, and on each occasion the actor chosen had died shortly thereafter. Bassermann considered the ring cursed, and declined to choose a fourth successor.
Reminds me of CMU's 15-131 GREAT PRACTICAL IDEAS FOR COMPUTER SCIENTISTS. Reminiscent of the old CMU days.

Unconsciousness is not good at doing even simple math like counting, so habits like 4j or 3yy are hard to form.

It may even be counterproductive as non-trivial efforts to establish such habits will have cost. Less efforts will be spent on forming habits of spotting bugs in the code.

I see it as a part of your payment package, especially since it is listed on the job description as such.
No, completely isolating is the only sane choice right now thanks to the idiots dropping the mask mandate. The risk is too high.

If and that's a very big if, the other households does a PCR test and masks up then but only then would I take a small child there.
I don’t mean to be reductive or try to absolve the individuals of responsibility; ultimately, responsibility must bottom out with the individual, there’s nowhere else for it to go.

Regarding the casino comparison: casinos are an established institution that we might categorize as “mildly exploitative”, and we have a mature moral/ethical framework around permitting them to exist, judging people who they exploit, etc. (Like, we DO permit casinos to exist, we say things like “enjoy them responsibly and expect to lose because the house always wins”, we would respect someone who refuses to attend casinos because they know they have a gambling problem, and so on.) I think the casino comparison is valuable mostly because we currently DON’T see dating apps as mildly exploitative pickiness-inducers, and we probably should.
It’s not crazy, it’s exactly what would be expected from any State throughout history. The people who are crazy are the ones who expect something different. As far back as Plato’s Republic, both theory and practice of State require sacrificing the individual for the greater good - where the greater good is defined by those in power. Of course I fully support the State and you should to or else.
What is this nonsense?

Inflation is always due to a lack of competition? Where on earth is the evidence for such an assertion (I didn't see anything in the linked article)?

Inflation is a monetary phenomenon, it's not a mystery at all. Governments print too much money and then it's worth less. History is full of examples.
A question for blind engineers in the comments here:

Got any tips on how to prepare for going blind, and/or for dealing with that process as it unfolds?

Too many abuse employees and lock them into not being able to tell the truth.
This has been blind tested time after time, and at best nothing beats out a carefully opened bag that’s folded tightly. Many of the fancy containers are actually worse.
Post Keynesian theory and endogenous money show how it works.

Firms don't charge a 'market price'. They put a mark up on costs and sell as much as they can at that price.

In other words marginal productivity theory is nonsense.

When you do that, and you get a supply crunch as we have now, then prices will go up as we are seeing.

It's fairly obvious. I will try to sell my stuff for the highest price I can get for it. Your only choice as a buyer is to go somewhere else, or refuse to buy.

Prices are controlled by excess capacity to supply. When that capacity vanishes, particularly amongst needed goods and services, you get price gouging.

It's similar to overstretching a spring. We have damaged the supply side and it won't go back to its prior path.
What makes economics a weak science, weaker than many other humanities, is the habitual absence of experimental evidence. It's of course hard to have a number of double blind histories of the world economy, yet that is what it takes to be a hard science. If you accept that it never can be (many economists try hard to pretend otherwise!), then you have to accept (again, many don't) that building mathematical models for human behavior (without rigorous validation) is no more scientific then some of the worst stereotypes people have for the social sciences. Yet, economics _is_ a social science, through and through. It studies human behavior. Just because currency lets you quantify and calculate more easily than other kinds of behavior, does not make it fundamentally different.
How do 1Password store private keys locally when using Okta?
I understand that when using 1password with a regular password, the password (and your generated token) is used to encrypt your public/private key and store them locally, perhaps in localstorage?

But you have the option to use SSO with Okta on 1password as well. When using that I don't think that the client is able to use the password for encryption of your public/private key anymore. How does it work in that case? And do you still have an emergency kit?

“Temporal Mechanics gives me a headache.”
Subjunctive mood has 4 different tenses, present, passé, imparfait and plus-que-parfait.
The last one is rarely used and has been for at least 30years. It's also similar to the conditional past 2nd form. e.g. "(que) j'eusse fini".
For the other tenses, they are still used in sentences like "il faut que je fasse" and similar.
Now, if we are speaking about the past simple (passé simple), it could disappear within one more generation. For mine (born in the low 80s), it was already "deprecated" when speaking.
Moral crusade! We will purge evil from the world by going on a moral crusade against human nature!
What economic system do you think this wouldn't happen under?

I'd like to point out that it was specifically the Whitehouse, under Biden, which withdrew the ability of train unions to negotiate via strike. That isn't capitalism. That was an administration making a choice because they felt additional grocery store shortages would hurt their polling numbers. That wasn't the free market - that was Government Intervention.

And why is it that gigs where people are ICs are desirable? Why do so many people work for Uber? If it's a bad gig, why take it? I've talked to a lot of Uber drivers and they like it - they can work as much or as little as they want and adapt their driving to their income needs. That doesn't sound like "capitalism".

Capitalism, as you use it here, might as well be Satan. Lost your lunch? That was Satan. Tripped on the way to school? Satan again. It's everywhere, it's the thing always at fault, no further explanation needed. It's a word that says "stop thinking, we have the cause of the problem - it's Capitalism".
Isn’t any group “vulnerable”? What does that word even mean?
There was a time when my morning routine included a visit to McD for breakfast and a cup of coffee. It's not StarBucks level of expenses but yet.
They used to require sun up to sundown every day with out a day off. Workers, especially bakers bled for 40 hours. And we see today that people only doing 4 days or 32 hours a week are at least just as productive as 40 hours.
You greatly exaggerate the difficulty of a French press.

My morning routine: fill and start the kettle. Feed the cats. Open my laptop and check email from overnight or start my Wordle. When the cat that hates the sound of the burr grinder is done eating, press the start button. ~15 seconds later pour the grounds into my press. Go back to the laptop. When the water is done boiling, wait a few seconds and then fill the press. Tell Alexa to start a 4 minute timer. Sometime in the next 30 seconds to 3 minutes, give the press a stir to mix in any grounds still floating on top. Go back to the laptop. When Alexa chimes, tell her to shut up and plunge the press. Pour 2 mugs and take one to my wife. Done.

When the pot is cool, pour the grounds in my countertop compost and rinse the plunger and base. Wash it with soap if I feel like it or put it in the dishwasher if I’m really lazy. Set aside to dry until tomorrow morning.

Whole thing takes about 15 minutes and 10 of that is for the kettle to get to boiling. Meanwhile, I’ve fed the cats and got my Wordle score posted to my friends.
Doesn't it solve VM sandbox escape problems though? Actual physical hardware isolation, along with an isolated network. Code can't detect it is running on a VM if there isn't a VM, and it sure can't escape the sandbox if there isn't a sandbox.

> It’s also eminently not sustainable on PyPI’s scale, which is the context we’re talking about.

I started my software engineering career in testing before VMs were a thing, so large, very large, scale test setups like the one I outlined were common place. I wrote about some of my experiences at https://meanderingthoughts.hashnode.dev/how-microsoft-tested... and the physical hardware setup my team was using to run (millions of!) tests was tiny compared to what other teams in Microsoft did at the time.

Network controlled power and peripherals were exactly how automation was done back in the day. Instead of VM images, you got a bunch of identical(ish) hardware and you wrote fresh images to hard drives to reset your state.

Are VMs more convenient? Sure, but my reply was in context of ensuring malware can't detect it is running in a VM!
Yeah normally I use Fahrenheit like a heathen American but for some reason in coffee I go with Celsius. Guess it's cause my espresso machine's set to Celsius and it's what most brew guides use.

If there is 1000 units of something but demand for 5000 units, you increase the price until demand equals 1000 units. There is no conspiracy. This is fundamental economics.

“Market-think” is about freedom. The alternative is “authoritarian-think” and that always ends in tears. Just start setting prices by government decree and see what happens.
It would probably raise GDP since we wouldn't have people locked out of work for an unreasonable amount of time because of intimidation forced on them.

But the variety and growing altitude also affect density. A high grown East African seed could be much more dense (and thus harder to grind) than a low altitude Guatemalan.
I'm not really sure what your point is. Because they're Canadian, they can't make a call to the FBI? They're Canadian, so they should report to a Canadian authority about US Citizen data? They're Canadian, so they're funny and this is a joke?
I've given up on Vim a long time ago. However, every IDE or editor or notebook tool I use that has Vim keystrokes I enable that and use that. You have to let the Vim purist in you die, it's not a fight that can be won. Settle for like 80% of what you used to be able to do in Vim and call it a day.
Was their practice of direct democracy an important part of ancient Greek culture? (Yes! And it's Republic forms were also part of their culture!)

Does the age of monarchy still have impacts on the UK? My imported gin still says "By Order of Her Majesty" on it. "God save the Queen" (or now King) is, intrinsically, part of UK culture.

That includes practices of law keeping, beliefs in how the law is executed, altered and enshrined, etc.

In the US specifically, the founding fathers wrote _at length_ on capitalism, the free market, and how communal economic systems (they were writing prior to Marx) didn't scale. Our society is built on capitalism, through and through.

I went to Purdue over a decade ago and we had a 1 credit hour lab that taught this stuff. Unix command line, git, bash, and finally some python.

Like you said, it's been a complete game changer. I feel these skills continue to differentiate me from my peers in terms of how I can attack arbitrary problems bravely to this day.

Very my doubt that's going to stop US law enforcement. They go after people all over the world. And if they really want you and your country has an extradition treaty it tends to favour the US side.

It's not clear yet that fusion is a desirable source of energy. It sounds quite expensive: You need a high tech gizmo running a plasma and steam turbines to turn the heat into electricity. I'm doubtful that this can be cost-competitive with renewables+storage.
I'll leave the judgement about who can and can't be called "hacker" to others. It wasn't something we really worried about.

That's all our media do. Journalism is dead.

Also, like all central banks, he was trying to jawbone to get the results he wants without having to induce the pain of the action required. Even this week, there was talk of 3 more interest rate rises. He is hoping this will cut spending, reduce demand, and drive down inflation so that the interest rate rises aren't required.
Remember, taxes are passed through a political process. Even if a tax is perfect in some ideal form, tax proposals should be evaluated in the light that political processes will use them to benefit their team and punish the others. A great example is income tax, where what was supposed to be a fair and progressive system evolved into a swamp of exemptions and carve outs for special interests - meaning the tax rates have to be higher on everyone else to make the difference.

Because of the huge amount of discretion in how to value land without development, a Georgist tax may be even more vulnerable to political processes than the income tax. Imagine a city where one side of the freeway is wealthy and the other side is poor - to benefit the wealthy side, the city adopts a policy that land on both sides has the same value. Or perhaps the poor side is ascendant politically, so their politician loots the wealthy side by overvaluing the land.

As bad as income taxes are, at least it’s a measurable question of how much money entered your bank account rather that some arbitrary bureaucratic valuation process.
I am always amazed how people find ideas for projects like this. I would never think of making something like that, what was the thought process here? Is this a personal project that just turned into something else? Or idea was just exactly this from the start?

This is very creative but also has this vibe that "I've seen it before" even though I probably did not and it just combines many different tools into one. Really cool!
Tried Indian language (Hindi). Not bad actually. :)
From the comments here, I’m amused how ready people are to immediately believe anything written on the internet without question. Does critical thinking go out of the window if it appears on a website?
It won't. We settled on using stateful combining characters instead.

Exactly. Vim keybinding are used in so many other places, it seems like a waste to learn a bespoke set of mapping just for a vim like editor.
First I wrote: I would try reporting it to the company, maybe also the FBI or FTC

Response was: Please do not ever communicate directly with anyone from a federal law enforcement agency. Only talk to them through an attorney. They are most definitely not on your side.

Then I wrote in response: The guy is from Canada.

So all three of your guesses are wrong. I'm stating that a Canadian has much less to worry about (compared to a US citizen) when contacting a US law enforcement agency about a compromise in the security of a US company that impacts multiple US states.
This is something that comes up time and time again with our recent string of conservative governments, going back to Cameron. At this point I'm pretty convinced that it is a dead cat strategy to avoid us talking about the lack of fruit and vegetables in the supermarkets.

Or maybe I'm just being hopeful.
Every time I'm working on a personal project I boot up neovim and have some fun. I have an extensive neovim (and emacs) configuration.

If I need to do anything in a professional environment, I boot up intellij/vscode/whatever they use and just install a vim emulation plugin. Vim is fun and all, but when time is money the last thing I want to worry about is configuring my editor.
I am a big Emacs user, and I just move my hand to hit certain keys.

The difference between those two things is kind of like the difference between skipping beef on Mondays and refusing to eat food that was cooked in the same kitchen as meat. It doesn’t really make sense to ask without context, right?
Thank you. Aptible looks promising.

I have a question about endpoints. It seems like you guys charge per endpoint. I don't quite understand this. So if I'm developing an api only application, every api endpoint I develop in my application will be charged? And for Aptible to keep track, would I have to register each endpoint I develop?

If my application was just serving dynamic html pages, I wouldn't be charged per url of my application right? So why would I be charged per api endpoint?

EDIT:

Another question. Do you guys offer any SSO solutions? If not, if I used say Auth0 for authentication, are there any issues with integrating with Aptible?
Yes it says absolutely nothing about Buddhism.

Some ostensibily religious people don't actually follow the teachings of the religions they profess. Some people are hypocrites. Bears actually do shit in the woods. Item #7 on a Buzzfeed listicle won't actually surprise you.

That's not a completely comprehensive list of obvious facts but it will have to do for now.
haha, no kidding. I'm also sure God loves it when you phone it in, i.e. can't be bothered to pray, so you just have AI do it for you...
It isn't worth doing because the equation you've supplied doesn't include the effect of catastrophic failure: dynamic analysis lowers the barrier for exploit to a single hypervisor or VM exploit. Catching 98% of spam packages that affect nobody is worth very little when the 2% you don't catch are the ones that do the real damage.

> Why isn't Google or Microsoft at least trying this?

They are: Google and Microsoft both spend (tens of) millions of dollars on hypervisor and VM isolation research each year. It's a huge field.
Over the last 10+ years I‘ve created countless shaded reliefs with different methods and tools: Gdal, Natural Scene Designer, Blender, … Most of the results were ok but I always had the feeling that they were keeping too many terrain details, distracting the map reader from the real content of the map: the relief should show context, not fight with the elements to display. Furthermore I’ve always found a lack of “human touch”. I feel that Eduard allowed me to overcome these issues. It’s an overkill usage of neuronal networks? No, it’s just the evolution of the technology that is offering a tool to help us cartographers produce better maps. After all, by looking at old masterpieces one can argue that we don’t need a computer at all. :)
I don't really "get" using vim as an editor, but I love using vim bindings in vs-code. I've been using vim bindings for maybe a year now? Didn't really keep track of when I started. I definitely consider myself a novice, and maybe am using vim to 10% of it's potential, but the little bit I do use is nice.

On the other hand, I've never considered typing speed or editing speed the bottleneck in programming, it's usually debugging, solving problems, or reading files with 10k+ LOC and multi-hundred line files figuring out what they are doing.
As a big picture thinker, sometimes big picture thinking is an excuse to jerk people around. There's not just one big picture, there are tons of possibilities at any given moment. Unless it's a repeat process w defined goals, the view will depend as much on your mood and random thoughts as it does on the actual stuff.
