They don't need their own in-house bespoke infrastructure, the hard part is user identity, and there are many services that will host this for you and also integrate seamlessly with third party providers (Firebase, for example, which will let you identify via Google, Meta, GitHub, Twitter, etc. right out of the box)

The difference between Firebase and Ethereum+metamask isn't a significant development cost for anything beyond a toy weekend project.

The difference is only about trust.

The argument you want to make is that we shouldn't trust Firebase, they could steal our auth tokens and act on our behalf without our permission, so we need trustless decentralized solutions.

That would be a valid argument, but a hard sell to an audience that doesn't buy the premise. I'm not going to debate it.

However, it has nothing to do with the technical layer of auth which is just "prove that you know the secret" in all cases.

Either you don't understand how this works, or you're deliberately avoiding the point.

Where do you think Metamask stores your private key?

It would be trivial for Firebase to release a browser extension that used LocalStorage to store the secret, like Metamask, instead of regular web storage.

All hooks are based on useReducer. Whenever a component is rendered React sets a global (!) variable for the current component. They didn't even bother to have the component be a parameter into the hook to get rid of the global variable. No, it must be pretentious and claim to be something it isn't. The global variable stores a linked list with the hook data. The calling order of your hooks matters.

One of my obstacles: it's a stones throw away from a retail/service job.

Okay not really. But what I mean is, the way people respect you. My obstacle is my fear of being treated the way I was 15 years ago when I had to work retail before my professional career. In that sense I'm HAPPY that I work behind a computer screen. But I do think it's made me very isolated, introverted, and lonely.
I've worked at a security software engineer at multiple FAANG where I've held the proverbial "keys to the kingdom." It was a strange feeling knowing that my compromise could lead to the complete and total takeover of the companies I worked at.

i don't get this for book piracy. suppose a school text book is sold for $200. a small time photocopy shop will scan and resell for paper+labour at lets say $20.

people who "purchase" this book doesn't care about the paper quality and text alignment and other stuff. they just want to consume the text any way. Why won't the "official" publisher try to fight piracy by bringing their prices to $20? that way the shop owner wont have any incentive to outcompete them.

Before you say "costs", that is nonsense. you would make up for "costs" over the increased number of sales anyway so it really is about extracting more money rather than helping people learn.

same for goods i suppose. i want to wear shoes. why should i pay $2000 for nike shoes when their replicas are bought for $20 using same materials?

last year i purchased a jacket from a thrift store for basically free. that jacket had been a puma down fill one which must've cost a lot of cash in store, do i really care about "IP" when it comes to paying the least amount of money for something?
It doesn't matter how fossilized philosophical texts are. By turning them into code, their structure becomes alive. To start with penal code is an interesting idea worth trying although it could be a dead end since it is all about setting limits to the self.

I think that consciousness will reveal itself in a not so distant future. There are already implants for blind people. More and more parts of the brain will be replaced which will reveal where consciousness is situated. I like to think that fruit flies are also conscious so it could also be possible to enhance the brains of flies. However, I expect that its easier to enhance human minds and let humans communicate their experience than it is to find the consciousness patterns in flies.

>to do philosophy one needs to find an academic institution, wealthy patron, or circle of like-minded folks,

All you need is a blog. But I don't think that engaging in the current style of philosophy is time well spent because written language could be at its limit. Philosophy has the ideas of people who were thinking for several thousand years. They were very keen on being right. That could be a solid foundation to build on. The bones of birds are not very helpful to design planes but they still offer the idea of wings.
Yes, that's why they always protect the corners with a metal frame or put them in a window, etc. Though doing edgework beforehand may help avoid that somewhat.

Two pieces on the conveyor out of the quench running into each other is probably the most common way to break them in the factory other than having them explode in the quench. They also break in people's hands when you chip the corner on the racks they're loaded into, which usually makes the unloaders jump when it happens, because they may be holding a 30"x70" piece of glass that gives them a shower.

Oh, and the damn stuff can just break spontaneously. It might be due to temperature changes in those cases, it's not like anyone can say, but every so often a lite sitting in a rack will just blow up even when nobody is near it, though it's quite rare. From what I recall, it most often happens in winter.

It is, the QR code spec details a few specific masks that are available. The one which produces the best QR code is chosen (best in this case means most clear/easiest for a scanner to read. So, no large blocks of white or black).

Every system if allowed to become too complex.
No single paradigm of programming is perfect for all cases.

OO is one way to structure and model a system.

No matter what language you use will end up with some form of a struct,
a set of values that belong together
Then you will have list of some structs and trees of some structs

You will almost certainly have to create list/collections/groupings of
structs. Because those are quite useful and universal

How you act on those collections is different between different idioms.

In other words you will create a model of data one way or another
and you have to maintain it / change it, as required over time.

The data structures themselves are rather often based on or more
database schema where the data will be extracted and saved.
It's anecdotal, but the people I know who absolutely support this kind of speech and these "disrupptions" are the first in line to complain about the speech of others. They're the ones who have campaigned for years to ban any kind of speech they deem offensive or hurtful. And they wouldn't allow the same kind of "disruptions" when it comes to topics they don't support. They'd ask for laws to restrict that. At least here in Germany these protestors are the whiniest people when it comes to dealing with others while crying the loudest about anything and everything.

Maybe it's different in Australia but that's what I noticed over here.
For others not of a Commonwealth country, UK + Australian ( + Canadian ?? ) Defamation Law is relatively unique in the assumption of "guilty until proven innocent" - although recent years have seen strong moves to reform this position.

Worthy of note though is that otherwise

Australia’s Freedom Score (95 out of 100) is on par with or better than countries like the UK (93/100), New Zealand (99/100), Canada (98/100), Germany (94/100), France (89/100), and the US (83/100). The country regularly ranks high on freedom indexes and democracy indexes and all sorts of human rights and civil liberties metrics. [1]

Australia is considered to have greater than 10% "more freedom" than the USofA by some third party rankings.

This is just Nikon being Nikon. Nikon for decades would refuse to even tell you if a particular camera serial number was for a US or Japanese market camera.

Which...wouldn't be an issue, if, upon receiving your camera for service, they didn't refuse to work on a camera that wasn't in its proper market.

Note I didn't mention warranty service/repair. For decades, they wouldn't even touch a Japanese-market product at the US service center, whether you were paying or not.

At the time, Canon USA would happily warranty or otherwise service any Canon gear you sent to them, regardless of where it was bought.

Vacation in Japan, decide you want to buy a lens for your US Nikon, or maybe your US Nikon lens is lost/stolen/breaks and you get a replacement...years go by, it stops working so you send it to nikon for service...and promptly are told to get fucked, and it's shipped back to you.

I hear Canon is now pulling similar nonsense. I know someone who dropped several thousand dollars on a Canon mirrorless camera body at Abes Of Maine, only to find out (when the camera almost immediately had an issue) that the camera was a grey-market import and Canon told them to get fucked when they called for tech support. Abes Of Maine ghosted them until they threatened to do a chargeback ("goods delivered not as described", I believe.)

Oh, also: Nikon were dicks about their warranties, too. Non-transferable and they required proof of purchase, so you couldn't even buy an unregistered camera from someone else and then register it yourself.

Canon USA? At the time, they only cared if the "clock" hadn't run out, not who bought it.

All this is why I bought into the Canon ecosystem multiple times. Nikon is never getting a dime from me.

I don't think any language can have a magic solution for a database problem.

One solution is to dynamically update the value with Ecto on_conflict if possible.

Something like this, where you try to insert instead of update and have a constraint on the id for example:

As a developer I “wish” chatgpt could take my job. Really hoping it happens sooner than later so I can get my product out into the world faster. Have tried many chatgpt and other A.I. tools to do this but all of these AI coding tools seem to have no understanding of the code for maintenance when dealing with edge cases and things that are hard to explain to A.I. tools. I wish we had these tools tomorrow but it looks like it is 50 years off . In fact using chatgpt makes a lot of products take longer to build i suspect as 99.999 % of the work is in understanding the code for small upgrades and bug fixes and these tools seem to produce alot of complex and unmaintainable code
Pressing too hard likely makes it much less effective. With the Sonicare brushes you're supposed to let the vibration do the work, and just like holding the cone of a speaker still you're not getting the vibration that does the job.
I mean, I only said it could withstand a shovel's flat side and a good whack. I never tried shooting any glass, but I have personally had reason to whack a few tempered lites with a shovel when they wouldn't break and can personally attest to how surprisingly hard it can be compared to just chipping a corner against another piece of glass.

Another odd thing is that when two pieces chip at the corners, I've only ever seen one of them break. Somehow the other piece always seems to survive, though it normally gets scratched up enough that it's tossed out anyhow.

When I rooted my android phone a few years back, all of my banking apps worked (I had to use magisk hide for some I think) but the only app that would not work was the Macdonalds app... Not that I needed it, I never go there, but I thought it was funny that their app was more "secure" than some banking apps.
I don’t understand the confusion. It’s all right there, on page 404 of the rust spec:

> Parameters with a recursive lifetime can only be used in a tail-call position within a function. If a function with only recursive params compiles successfully, it is guaranteed not to grow the stack.

For the self-recursive case, people are likely better off just writing the imperative version. But using these with mutual recursive calls lets you build safely build state machines that compile down to the same performant code a classic goto-based implementation would in C.

> The foundation of civil rights is protecting the minority from the majority, protecting the doing and expressing of uncomfortable things.

I completely agree, but I don't know how you'd go about doing such a thing.

Popular speech needs no protections, but any expression of unpopular speech quickly gets disappeared, with no government intervention needed at all.

Look at how Visa+Mastercard together completely shut out voices that popular rhetoric demands must be silenced.

Counterpoint: CRISPR only reignited what was already a real fear of reduced difficulty and costs of engineering deadly pathogens.

In fact, what you and GP wrote is baffling to me. The way I see it, biotech is stupidly obviously self-evidently dangerous, because let's look at the facts:

- Genetic engineering gets easier and cheaper and more "democratized"; in the last 10 years, the basics were already accessible to motivated schools and individual hobbyists;

- We already know enough, with knowledge accessible at the hobbyist level, to know how to mix and match stuff and get creative - see "synthetic biology";

- The substrate we're working with is self-replicating molecular nanotechnology; more than that, it's usually exactly the type that makes people get sick - bacteria (because they're most versatile nanobots) and viruses (because they're natural code injection systems).

Above is the "inside view"; for "outside view", I'll just say this: the fact that "lab leak" hypothesis of COVID-19 was (or still is?) considered to be one of the most likely explanations for the pandemics already tells you that the threat is real, and consequences are dire.

I don't know how can you possibly look at that and conclude "nah, not dangerous, needs to be democratized so the Evil Elites don't hoard it all".

There must be some kind of inverse "just world fallacy" fallacy of blaming everything on evil elites and 1%-ers that are Out To Get Us. Or maybe it's just another flavor of the NWO conspiracy thinking, except instead the Bildenbergs and the Jews its Musk, Bezos and the tech companies.

Same is, IMHO, with AI. Except that one is more dangerous because it's a technology-using technology - that is, where e.g. accidentally or intentionally engineered pathogens could destroy civilization directly, AI could do it by using engineered pathogens - or nukes, or mass manipulation, or targeted manipulation, or ... countless other things.

EDIT:

And if you ask "why, if it's really so easy to access and dangerous, we haven't already been killed by engineered pathogens?", the answer is a combination of:

1. vast majority of people not bearing ill intent;

2. vast majority of people being not interested and not able to perform (yet!) this kind of "nerdy thing";

3. a lot of policing and regulatory attention given to laboratories and companies playing with anything that could self-replicate and spread rapidly;

4. well-developed policies and capacity for dealing with bio threats (read: infectious diseases, and diseases in general);

5. this being still new enough that the dangerous and the careless don't have an easy way to do what in theory they already could.

Note that despite 4. (and 3., if you consider "lab leak" a likely possibility), COVID-19 almost brought the world down.
Does the brush stop working with the head when that lockout happens, or does this just break the "buy a refill please" functionality?

For my older Sonicare (with a larger brush head base), I've found it easiest to just write "Q1," "Q2," etc. with a sharpie when I replace the head.
Yes, you are.

That's a good argument for using PGP/GPG/some other secure communication protocol.
The title here is misleading (the original wasn’t great, but calling it a “ban” is even worse). It looks like this just ramps up penalties for already illegal activities, such as blocking major roads (as recently happened). Pretending this bans something new is disingenuous.
In the factory, they sometimes seem to just explode randomly when the pieces next to them are just fine. It might be some anomaly of how they got quenched and/or temperature changes, though. I remember it mostly happening in winter for whatever reason, so maybe a cold breeze got them? There's probably quite a contrast between the furnace and the cold air coming in around the loading docks.
C# in its current state has IMHO acquired many features from F#.
You can get close to writing purely functional code in C# now.

I think with all the changes and extensions over time to add ever
more features to C# so you can write whatever paradigm you want in
it is a bad idea.

I would much have preferred to keep C# OO and use F# when you want
to go functional.

Or just create G# which is the everything mashed together language
that C# is close to being.
> it means they have to keep track of every build, and keep every version of every OS live

That's not a lot of work. I would be extremely surprised if they were not already doing it. If someone reports an issue going back to a specific version, they need to be able to install that specific one.

I think you're overestimating the effort / underestimating Apple resources here. Ubuntu keeps all released packages, going back to 2004 online for example. (And isos, even for the effectively dead powerpc) Microsoft's symbol server is likely also a way bigger project than just preserving images of all versions.

> and that's not something they really do

Are you actually speaking for Apple engineering here? The version not being advertised on the update servers does not mean it's not available.

Also, there's the question of supply chain audit. I doubt their security would accept not being able to say "this is/isn't what we shipped at the time".
