As a muslim man, introducing the concept of prophets to a lot of people, including muslims themselves is always an exercise in inducing surprise or even shock.

I think most people like to think of prophets through analogies of modern day or at least a stereotype of monks, saints or ascetics. There is a certain cookie cut stereotype definitions and marking that people think prophets have to fit through. In reality the prophets in Islam have come in all personality and character ranges. From Kings, to shepherds, to warriors, to carpenters. Muhammad was mostly all of this.

A neutral treatment of the subject without bias of course also needs a very similar treatment of the subject from the reader. Any prior bias while reading a subject this complicated, that spawns across millennia, with the prophets with such diverse cultural, linguistic, political etc settings is not likely to be anything like a stereotypical all weather saint life.

Islam, the definition itself, is a strictly monotheistic religion. You worship one god(Allah) alone, and the way you worship that one god is how the prophet(s) asked you to worship. Allah defines what Allah is in various parts of the Quran(eg 2:25, Chapter 112). The worship itself, 5 times a day, fasting during Ramadan, pilgrimage to Mecca, Charity, Animal sacrifice is all to be done for Allah and Allah alone(no partners, or any other extra deity allowed). You are also expected to believe in angels, books sent before, prophets before Muhammad, Day of judgement and divine destiny written by Allah. Like you are actually supposed to believe in them. Which reduces the whole activity to be free of forcing it, or coercing some body to just verbally state them. Above this is the last level, like you worship god like god is in front of you.

There are other laws related to diet, purity and inheritance. In general you are advised to enjoin good and forbid evil. The lives of the prophet(s), therefore serves as a useful guidance in this regard and is called (Sunnah).

In general the Quran is good starting point to learn more Islam. Its like the defining text.

This is like the basic structure. And then of course when you meet muslims you now deal with a community, and like all communities they come with all your shades of human behaviour.
Fascinating document, does anyone know if there's an html version?
This seems like it is ultimately a result of the politicization of the issue: it becomes difficult to have an honest conversation of the merits and demerits of something if you know there’s a political faction ready to seize on everything you say and take it out of context. Not saying that makes it right, but it’s an outcome we could anticipate, I think.
> These are just a few of the images we've recorded. And you can see, it wasn't what we thought. There's been no war here and no terraforming event. The environment is stable. It's the Pax. The G-23 Paxilon Hydrochlorate that we added to the air processors. It was supposed to calm the population, weed out aggression. Well, it works. The people here stopped fighting. And then they stopped everything else. They stopped going to work, they stopped breeding, talking, eating. There's 30 million people here, and they all just let themselves die.
USPS should get into at-cost banking. There's no reason there should be any underbanked persons without a no-fee ATM/debit card, savings account, and check cashing services.
Intent matters here, and accidents don't usually even get you ejected from a casino at all. Intentional cheating like that will get you arrested. The rules of the game are often controlled by a gaming commission or legislation that set the rules. Soccer doesn't have the same sort of thing.
Well, wait and hope for better times. Thanks for helping.
That’s usually the fault of funky JS or bloated bundles etc, rather than the CSS portion.

Plus it’s completely avoidable l, just many teams do not care, unfortunately
Love Wordpress. We've made millions of dollars with it.
I'm married with one child and another on the way. Raising children seems to require both of us to work together closely. We pool all our recourses to provide for our children. I work to provide financially but that wouldn't be possible without my wife at home with our very needy 8 month old.

The contract of marriage makes this easier than I imagine it would be without it.
Oh, they brought it back and doubled the price. How lovely.
If it makes you feel better, their parents will probably use that down payment as leverage for a LONG time.

"My house, my rules" and all that...
> in an unopinionated way IMHO (without prescribing the DB schema, etc)

I'm actually suggesting the most opinionated thing imaginable. Definitely it would need its own schema, database (logical database; you could still put it in the same SQL server instance).

I've implemented this before, it works fine. Basically imagine that your app can only talk to some login system through a command-line tool, and the command like tool deals with the database. You have absolutely no control over the login code or database. You can just run commands and give arguments and get something back. Again, programmers hate it, but it works great and is secure by default.
You have to play hardball. If someone else is being political and you try to avoid politics, you’ll get crushed. The fact that your co-founders are not getting involved means they don’t think your CUXO’s claims are outrageous— that’s a problem because you think you do.

Meet 1-1 with everyone, including the CUXO.

Tell them you don’t support this decision.

Ideally tell them you should be CTO. Making CTO a banner title will keep causing this issue again and again.

Don’t let people walk away from the 1-1 without supporting your claim or giving you a good reason why not.

Write your arguments first. Don’t get emotional. Make an entirely rational argument.

Don’t lose.
You are the last in an extremely long lineage of people who had children in circumstances far worse that the current economy.
This is the CEO's responsibility, but if he won't make a decision, you need to be the CEO here. What's best for the company? Does having him as CTO increase or decrease the likelihood you get to the next milestone? Does it enhance or degrade the team narrative? This is important for raising money if you plan to or attracting new talent. (It would also mean you would need to fire him to hire a real CTO if that need arises). If him as CTO hurts the team, the decision is that he can't be CTO. But, you should dig into why he wants this beyond vanity, because there may be other ways of making him happy. (For instance, when two founders are deciding on who's the CEO, oftentimes the one who is not the COO will be made "President". It doesn't really matter, but it makes people feel better).
I'm sure they do, but the dentists here have told her that lack of fluoride is her problem. She is using a night time fluoride paste to help.
To call them "criminal-adjacent" seems like a conservative western tradition. I'm not a casino apologist, but it's not like they have some hidden agenda. It's gambling. Did you misunderstand that? It's a game of odds and the house controls the odds. Did you misunderstand that?

Edit: Clearly you don't misunderstand that, so what's the complaint?

Gambling has a very strange effect on the human psyche. I never hear anybody come back from Disney World bragging about how much they won. But I've met tons of people who "always win in Vegas". I know a few people who seem addicted to Disneyland. I never understood it. Season passes every year. Maybe one visit a month. Even when they don't have children. It seems weird to me. But the effects of gambling on people's brains is even more weird.

It is only criminally-adjacent in places that perceive a giant risk to people and so have made it illegal. Otherwise, it is as criminally-adjacent as any source of wealth or power that has an incentive to build barriers to entry and to stifle competition.
> So much so, during client calls I'm often introduced as the CTO by our CEO.

Sounds like you are already doing most of the CTO work and virtually getting recognized as such. Step up and claim the CTO position.
Challenge him to a LeetCode duel. Winner gets CTO title and the loser's equity.

The Old Ways are clear on this. He must accept your challenge and honor the outcome.
I believe there is a grammar for SQL, but it probably doesn't support a lot of the vendor-specific language extensions you might be using. You could end up writing your own grammar or heavily extending any grammar that already exists. There might already be libraries specific to parsing Oracle SQL into a syntax tree, at which point Tree Sitter isn't really adding value.

That said, the ability to query for things like "all SELECT statements where table 'xyz' is referenced in any table identifier" is very powerful.
PlatformIO seems to be seeking a support and sponsorship agreement with Raspberry Pi.

The integration of the community-supported core Arduino-Pico that's enabled by this PR would indeed be a significant upgrade to the existing core. It seems that this core now has broad community support with nearly 100 contributors, and the burden of continuing integration after merging this PR would be minimal.

PlatformIO appears to be using the support burden as a shield for defending their shady tactics of withholding approval (and indeed completely ghosting the entire community after repeated attempts for further comment on the PR for over half a year) of this highly wished for community-derived PR while they quietly attempted to woo Raspberry Pi Trading into a support contract last year.

The situation is now complicated by the fact that representatives of Raspberry Pi (perhaps Eben Upton himself) privately contacted the maintainer of this PR recently attempting to urge that it get merged. This feels like a surreptitious attempt to benefit from PlatformIO's work while avoiding the support agreement that similar vendors such as Espressif and SiFive appear to have entered into with PlatformIO.

Edit: This based on the summary comment here - https://github.com/platformio/platform-raspberrypi/pull/36#i...
Worthless meaning. If only 1 in 10 companies ever see a “successful” exit and if even then, my equity may end up being essentially nothing after the investors and founders get theirs and it’s illiquid, why should I value equity at anything more than $0 when comparing compensation?
Freedom is equivalent to responsibility.

If you offload your responsibility of paying your expenses upon another, you surrender that freedom to them.

If a couple wants equality, have separate finances and incomes and make agreements as to how any financial matters that must be handled together should be handled.
Arrow of Time
Something that I found interesting is:

> There are no languages that place the past and future on a left–right axis (e.g., there is no expression in English such as *the meeting was moved to the left), although at least English speakers associate the past with the left and the future with the right.
For the record, the rest of the stuff I mentioned has middling evidence for effectiveness as well, it's just the things that worked out of the myriad of things I tried that didn't. The vitamin k complex and d thing especially has limited evidence (and recently a paper came out that showed k2 increasing artery calcification, which is concerning but maybe not as bad as one thinks since the really dangerous part of arterial calcification is when it is in process. it also didn't control for vitamin d status and the hypothesis of k2 causing bone/teeth remineralization and not soft tissue mineralization usually hinges on d status being adequate).
Sounds like he’s been heavily inspired by Vernor Vinge’s “Zones of Thought” trilogy.
Looking for groups or conferences for Colorado Springs devs
Working with a team that's building out some pretty cool software but I'm having trouble finding any local or regional groups or conferences.

Any CS devs here know of anything agile/SAFe/etc. (anything but cyber-focused). Pretty opened minded unless like all salespeople and no tech ppl.
I'm married, but I live in a separate house to my wife. I've started to see others in similar situations and apparently it's a trend these days.

Hey old buddy.
If you think about it, these are the semi-smart ones: more juice per squeeze. The fact is there is no meritocracy and no real reward for effort or impact if there is no profit sharing or equity involved.

The really smart ones would have multiple bullshit jobs and do anything to turn a side-hustle into big money. Either that, or find something that isn't difficult for them but difficult for everyone else: this is more defensible and less likely to be subject to layoffs.
My parents' generation could raise two kids on one full time job. No way I'd try raising even one on a single income any more. So my wife and I can have a much nicer quality of life with zero kids.
Original headline: “How risky bank debt makes customers safer”

This HN headline is editorialized… The article mostly explains the difference in loss absorbing debt regulators for banks with $100B+ in assets.

Separately, it is a false premise to argue that the median retail banking customer is not “safe”.

The US banking system is incredibly safe for the vast majority of its customers. Those customers with uninsured deposits are not in the majority.
You have a presumption that experts should be believed. However the roots of my own success are based on ignoring “experts”, from my college professors to my bosses, until I was so successful that I became the “expert”, and others started listening to me. The concept of “expertise” is bullshit.

If something is difficult to understand, even for so-called “experts”, that is a sign of severe dysfunction. All topics can be distilled into simplistic understanding. Once you speak in academic gobble-dee-gook you are done for.
It really shouldn’t be a choice. Not having fluoridated water causes all sorts of public health issues, especially in kids.

For example, San Jose has spotty fluoridation thanks to its idiotic privatized water supply, and, despite being extremely wealthy and well-educated, many kids end up with dental issues severe enough to cause academic issues, etc.
Not dissimilar in some ways.

I also find the cookie filtering has gone slightly too far and I have to recommit to consent to trackers on almost everything which is a pain. stackoverload, every single time.

I really don't mind a cookie which confirms I saw the T&C and a more gentle reminder they exist, or have updated would be fine.

In-page over-draw of a consent popup is stupid. This should be standardised to a hotkey YES or NO function my browser does in a normalised manner.

My government login (Tax, Medical benefits) mails me to say it has CRITICAL UPDATES PENDING IN MY GOVERNMENT LOGIN MAILBOX. They are "we have updated the terms and conditions" which typically, I had to click through anyway, to read the mail. Every. Single. Time.
Hospice is basically when the purpose of medical care goes from preserving life to maximizing comfort. It can be months of fairly normal life or a quick descent.

Often, but not always, patients are able to converse with loved ones, etc. While the ever increasing amounts of morphine are common, part of the reason is that actual tolerance for morphine with the pain of some end of life situations is much higher than you would suspect. Given that there is no risk of addiction (like there would be after a broken bone heals), the amounts are much higher than in other cases. However, to address your concern, the patient isn't normally high 24/7 waiting to die. They are not in pain and living out their last time on earth.
I don’t think I see what makes that more equal than treating all of your money as a shared resource between the two of you. Unless you have exactly the same income I think the opposite is true.
I've been doing it for the last four days and eating as I otherwise would. I think it's helping. My tongue is noticeably less inflamed. I'm still getting acid in my mouth when I lay down to sleep, though. I recommend trying it with small mouthfuls of food until you're confident you won't choke.
Have you tried looking up Oratory1990 profiles for your headphones? 10/10 would recommend.
If we're being pedantic, it's pretty trivial in any Turing complete language (which I imagine Brainfuck is in, since I think it's supposed to be essentially just syntax over the idea of a Turing machine); there are definitely languages that aren't able to express non-halting programs by design (like Coq, which I think is primitive recursive).
My guess it easier to buy different salt but hard to get second water pipe.
Glad it’s not just me that this drives insane. And perversely, it’s the ubiquitous essential services in quasi-cartels that are the worst (airlines, telecommunications providers, etc.). Seems like a bunch of hertz executives should be in prison rather over the spate of false arrests of drivers.

BTW here is the link to the Tree of Thoughts paper "Large Language Model Guided Tree-of-Thought":

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.08291.pdf

https://github.com/jieyilong/tree-of-thought-puzzle-solver

In this paper, we introduce the Tree-of-Thought (ToT) framework, a novel approach aimed at improving the problem-solving capabilities of auto-regressive
large language models (LLMs). The ToT technique is inspired by the human
mind’s approach for solving complex reasoning tasks through trial and error. In
this process, the human mind explores the solution space through a tree-like
thought process, allowing for backtracking when necessary. To implement ToT
as a software system, we augment an LLM with additional modules including a
prompter agent, a checker module, a memory module, and a ToT controller. In
order to solve a given problem, these modules engage in a multi-round conversation with the LLM. The memory module records the conversation and state
history of the problem solving process, which allows the system to backtrack
to the previous steps of the thought-process and explore other directions from
there. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed technique, we implemented
a ToT-based solver for the Sudoku Puzzle. Experimental results show that the
ToT framework can significantly increase the success rate of Sudoku puzzle solving.

When was it not true that you could live larger without needing to support children? Eventually I didn’t feel like being able to afford more baubles was my most important value anymore.
The true answer is that a dysfunctional marriage negatively affects any children period. If the would-be parents can't reasonably guarantee a happy household going forward, having children is the epitome of irresponsiblity.
The query language and CLI tools are absolutely user-facing features on their own. But even if they aren't, developers still need to be able to learn from the docs. Currently that's very difficult to do. My experience is that you have to rely heavily on copying other people's examples in order to make progress.

"when 19th century Russia stated that no book could be written in Lithuanian"

That's a lie. Or shall I say "gas lighting at best and a false flag at worst"?

"The Lithuanian press ban (Lithuanian: spaudos draudimas) was a ban on all Lithuanian language publications printed in the Latin alphabet in force from 1865 to 1904 within the Russian Empire, which controlled Lithuania proper at the time. Lithuanian-language publications that used Cyrillic were allowed and even encouraged." [0]

What is your goal for the company?

Arguing about titles seems to me to about surface issues.

If he is arguing for the title because of his longer term career prospects he is already planning to leave.
It's entirely true, modern slot machines get a ticket from a central server detailing the results it will show.

They do analytics on all of this using Splunk btw (they can actually afford it, lol), there are some really cool talks out there if you look around.

You have to weigh your personal benefit, against the benefit of keeping the company running somewhat smoothly (which is also in your interest). Assuming titles don't affect your current salary/equity in the company (you can get this in writing), it is only your future job prospects that are affected. The CUXO is probably (perhaps rightfully) worried his title sounds too unserious, and wants a better safeguard.

That said, changing the deal you had all agreed to at the start also makes working together harder. Instead of focusing on the company, you find yourselves also fighting among each-other, since the clear lines you had drawn up at the start are apparently up for negotiation. Good fences make good neighbors, as they say.

Note that I have no experience in such matters, I can only offer a fresh, hopefully clear, perspective. Good luck.

If you rely on your spouse for your finances in any way, it means they are superior to you. You aren't financially independent and thus aren't equal, at least not within any immediate timeframe.

I'm saying we should remove the 'encouragement' and make secure operation the only mode.

When there's a new more secure practice, we should use abstractions that make switching to the new mode as simple as changing some external dependency. The mechanism should be abstracted away into something that isn't code, like how running a program with arguments and stdin isn't reliant on some particular programming language.

Instead let some other, separate program deal with the security-centric work, so if you change from "LDAP authentication" to "OAuth2", the business app doesn't ever need to be updated, and you can just change the configuration for the "login app" that the business app talks to. (This kind of already exists, in forms like the OAuth2 Proxy)
You are probably right but in my mind that makes it worse that their solution to the problem is having kids work at a meat packing plant.

ehh, it's a choice to buy into any of that bullshit.

we eloped $3,000km away to the tropics to get married. it was more of a holiday with a wedding day thrown in. we loosely, no expectations, invited a few friends and family and were pleasantly surprised to find 30 people met us there.

The whole thing, holiday and all cost us around $10k and was a total blast.

I found the traditional wedding day routine to be super claustrophobic and rigid.
> Why commingle finances at all?

Because you have to in order to cohabitate? Just because two people do not use a joint account does not mean they both are not incurring shared expenses, i.e. commingling finances.
