This isn't a new idea. This exact proxy pattern already exists with things like AWS API Gateway Lambda Authorizers.

This is still quite a useful architecture as it allows the backend to be implemented without concern for authentication or authorization. You just have to make absolutely sure that nobody can reach the backend except via the proxy.

The one downside is that it limits authorization to simple yes/no. The user may proceed with this API call, or they may not. There are occasions where you may want to allow the API call, but alter the results based on authorization.

For example, a user wants to list objects, which you want to allow, but you only want the list to contain objects the user is permitted to view. In this case you can't completely avoid implementing authorization on the backend. The proxy has to tell the backend the user's identity, and the backend has to implement some logic based on that.
Gambit has a JavaScript compilation target backend. It works really well. The runtime code you need to run JS-compiled Gambit code is large, but compared to the neutron-star density of most projects' node_modules it's utterly manageable. It's a little harder to justify on the front end though.

Personal rant, context needed.

"....dropped...." in the context of new albums/music being released means "made available", however in the context of software features (or general english vernacular) it means "removed".

Just about any language that I've paid attention to has had drama. Maybe there will be long term impact but, again, it's nothing that the average dev should be concerned with.

> You can't argue whether the data is correct or not without gathering it yourself, and you can't gather it yourself.

You actually can argue about the data being "correct".

The way to do is, is studies need to be much more radically open with their raw data sources.

In AI, that would mean actually releasing the code you used, so people can try it themselves.

Or, in more sociology stuff, where you are doing, I don't know, interviews with humans, you could release the physical videos of your interviews.

And then for science stuff, show pictures/vidoes of the science you are doing.

I'm sure there would still be way to hack this. But significant more code and data transparency would do a huge amount for allowing other people to replicate or verify your work.

Comparing your political opponents with Nazis is a very violent form of public discourse that should be reserved for actual perpetrators of mass atrocities. If people actually believe it, then it makes physical violence against your opponents seem acceptable or even desirable ("punch a Nazi"). Basically, when you're saying someone is a Nazi then it means you want to treat them like the Nazis were treated after WW2. This implies at least removing their political rights, and possibly imprisoning and executing them as well.

I thought that too. But it's because fidelity owns a small part of it and so they have to periodically estimate it's value. That's where the number comes from.

Actually, there was only ever a mention of a final solution. No real understanding of what that meant. This resulted in allied forces, who had spies throughout the Third Reich, being completely shocked by the camps when they found them. The fact, Allied Forces who were better informed than the average German Ciziten had no idea what was happening is a major sign that they didn't know.

Furthermore, if you read any of the books written by Germans who lived through that time they'll often say they didn't know what was happening and in one book about a kid who went through the ranks of the Hitler youth, I believe he thought they were fine in the camps and thought people just moved away.

Now, in other countries such as the Netherlands the story was different but victims often know the full truth instead of getting told a story. Rewriting history isn't that cool.

Furthermore, the majority of victims of the holocaust weren't Jewish, they were civilians. [1]

There must be some sort of misconfiguration going on here, as I never have this experience in Jira Cloud. Your opinion is a common one so I'm not discounting it, but with "New Jira" as I call it (the Team-based projects), this never happens to me.

But in general, I agree that Atlassian should primarily focus on performance fixes, it is by far the most common complaint.

This isn't the ISPs detecting you torrent. It's rightholders joining a torrent swarm, getting an IP-address, and asking the ISP for the person behind that address.

If that's the case, why aren't NHL players mostly Black? Being larger and faster helps there too. I actually agree that small differences in means of normal distributions lead to large differences at the tail end, which amplifies the effect of any genetic differences, racial included. But clearly that's only one reason, not the reason -- and it's not even the most important, or the NHL would look similar.

It really is. Arguably the most famous example among HN readers was BrandonM’s comment[0] on Dropbox’s launch thread. Was he correct that you can built it trivially using 2007 software? Sure, if you had the correct mix of specialized knowledge of the software and networking. Dropbox was not a novel idea, but that’s now where it value was; the value proposition relied 100% on its UX.

If MSFT and Apple each shipped a Dropbox competitor that was highly integrated, available, and pushed flagship software suits to adopt it as well within a year, would Dropbox had become as large as it did? I would guess not. It would likely be a downgrade from what Dropbox offered (the separate ecosystems staying bifurcated comes to mind), but a zero install solution would be the only thing that could make it easier.

>Is anyone currently forcing Ghana to accept these textiles?

No, and the super-importers bringing it all in are making a killing off of it.

> If they really want to stop textile waste importing then why wouldn't they start with local legislation first? You don't need EU regulations to do import control

Because the government of Ghana is currently incapable of or unwilling to handle it. My guess is there's enough money flowing from the people at the top towards the government to stop it, but that's a guess based off of a general distrust of politicians.

I do, however, think it's fair to say that if we know that selling this stuff to Ghana is harming the everyday person there and that they are not capable of putting a stop to it - and the everyday person obviously is not - then there is a moral responsibility to not do it.

I don't know that increasing the cost is going to do much to stop it, though - this largely just puts more money in the pockets of the people that have already shown they don't care about properly disposing of the portion of clothing that doesn't end up in the secondhand market. Assigning some small portion of that to the government or funding for cleanup won't change that. Placing requirements that make sure that it is only sold to importers that can make sure the waste portion is actually disposed of in a way that is ecologically friendly seems like a better solution. Obviously this would increase the price as well, but the primary goal of "Not ruining the local ecology and harming the people that have to live near it all" is going to be better served.

>The Constitution doesn't specify that due process necessarily involves the judicial branch.

Doesn't the 5th amendment specifically guarantee the right to indictment by a Grand Jury for 'a capital or other infamous crime'? Or was this considered moot because the same amendment gives a caveat for a 'time of war or public danger'?*

Your link seems to recognize this distinction and seems to sidestep the 5th amendment question by narrowing the scope (although I admit I haven't read it all in detail):

>"The Court recognizes that its holding regarding the political question doctrine is inconsistent with Judge Bates’s decision in Al-Aulaqi v. Obama. That earlier case alleged that the United States’ intention to kill Anwar Al-Aulaqi violated the Fifth Amendment. In contrast, the instant Complaint raises the issue more directly and acutely, asserting a claim for damages for the actual taking of Anwar Al-Aulaqi’s life without regard to Fifth Amendment protections."

> But - outside of performative activism and spleen-venting - do they have any interest in sustained or intelligent actions which might address a few of the problems?

Well, that would like under the purview of your conundrums of political science, not stuff for the hoi polloi. You don't want a tyranny of the majority, but - I believe this is the point being made - just dismissing popular concerns which have at least a grain of truth will bite you in the arse and take down not just your one pet project, but everything else even vaguely connected.

Ultimately here that means solving some thornier problems, because it is an amazing but accurate stereotype these days that the person riding a bike in most cities is more privileged than the person driving. The former could afford a nice place in the city, which is way more than the cost of car ownership - and almost certainly relied on nepotism in some way. To fix that, alternative transit to suburbs NEED to exist, even in the face of negligent or outright malicious government. Accommodation in cities NEEDS to be cheaper, something I'm not sure has ever happened without urban decay and collapse. And lastly, crime, in cities and on transit, NEEDS to be controlled at relatively low levels - yes, even if the perpetrators are minorities. I have to really strongly disagree with the idea that automation makes the law less fair. That's a cheap shot, the progressive's equivalent of "think of the children". High crime areas are not romantic anti-racist utopias where the downtrodden mix rap with ceilidhs. They are shit, they are devastating to any real investment and growth, they hold no opportunity whatsoever to any decent person of any ethnicity, and discussion of policing shouldn't ignore that.
I have Zeal installed on my Linux desktop but I rarely use it.

The reason is that most of the time, I want to read documentation for a specific version of whatever thing I'm using. Zeal only has docs for the latest version, or in some cases, major versions. Take Ansible and Python, for example. These tend to have breaking changes, new features, and hard deprecations in their minor version releases. So knowing that I'm looking at the docs for Python 3.8 vs 3.11 can be very important.

One of my "someday" projects is to write a doc viewer with an obnoxious plethora of sources including docs shipped for every minor version of a program, docs for operating systems, man pages, info pages, maybe even wiki content for exceptional wikis like arch and gentoo.
