I've never actually developed a mini program, but worked on projects with our china teams to develop some activation for our brand on WeChat.

What I understand is that a mini program needs to be "packaged" and shipped to WeChat as a bundle. The size of the bundle is relatively small. (~10mb ?)

Of course you can load some content from outside, not everything is within those 10mb, but I think it's still relatively limited. Calling it apps within apps is a stretch.
There was an article recently about astrology apps. Are they fraud? My personal opinion is it shouldn’t be fraud if you believe it.
You have to know that the hearing was happening or even what a UAP was to google it in the first place.

I asked around all day today and no one knew anything about it. They didn’t even know what UAPs were. There are so many other things that are distractions and it’s just not is on the top of the list.

but the thing is, we had government and military officials saying that they were actually alien craft, and they said this under oath, and everyone’s acting like this is nothing.

I did not expect this at all at the hearing because they were under oath, so this is what surprised me so much. I can understand someone not believing anyone saying something on YouTube or a random podcast but they were under oath and they were military officers.

I just don’t understand how no one sees this as something as insane as it is.

That's the beauty! The build process is exactly the same for in and out of container stuff. In both cases result is either binary or binary + static files (nowadays, as it is mostly ops stuff, binary gets embedded static files).

Depending on the source it looks to be somewhere in the low single digit percentage as part of the population of men who will commit a crime, much less repeating violent crimes. We train women to be scared because fear sells not because they're actually at risk of strangers attacking them.

I always have doubts about male victim numbers being used for anything. We know for a fact that men will not report things like that at near the same rate that women will and women don't report all that they should, either.

I didn't say there was a biological basis. David Reich doesn't say there is either - he is well known to be opposed to the idea. But there are observable differences - how they come about is another question. And any difference is potentially subject to a value judgement, leading to the conclusion I outlined above.

I think people misunderstood where I was coming from a bit. To be clear, I wasn't commenting in support of communism, or against rewarding merit, or against rewarding merit with money. Status in life and legacy in death are still motivators that matter, though, and with the right set of shared values, they are powerful.

We still generally have a culture in the US of respecting our veterans and service members, for example. There is some social value in serving that's not material. If there wasn't, the material benefits would need to be more substantial.
I think Apple was the one who was unreasonable here, not Adobe.

I loathe the idea of giving Microsoft credit for anything, but one thing they got right was their focus on backward compatibility. Certainly that has frayed at times here and there, but MS generally doesn't ask their developers to completely rewrite their applications to use a new application framework.

Sometimes it will be wrong or sometimes we will misunderstand it -- just like all other kinds of information.
Sometimes customer wants containers; most of our (ops/orchestration) runs outside of container but containerising it (for same reason, one static blob) is easy

Ethereum name service, more commonly known as ENS.

In ethereum address appear like 0x233eb...042, ENS let's you associate a human readable name like nick.eth with that address.

Works similar to DNS, turning IP addresses into something we humans recognize.

What's the pro of using a smart contract? (DNS works without one).

With a smart contract you can have immutable data store (assuming ethereum continues) that can give you ownership over your name, like nick.eth.

What's the con?

It's immutable which means people can own names they shouldn't with no mediation process possible.

Like a lot of things in life the system is good as long the system works for you, but not everyone is lucky enough to exist in a system that works well enough.

Dependency management is one thing Docker handles, and I don't really think it does a great job of that. To me containers solve the challenge of getting a development environment that closely matches production. It standardizes how deployments are performed, how testing environments are set up. Before this we had complex, immutable ansible scripts, READMEs, install scripts that had to be babysat, snowflake servers that no-one knew how they were configured. It's also an extremely widely used technology, so if you use it in your stack you can expect many people you hire to know how to use it from day one versus everyone learning a bespoke set of custom scripts.
It doesn't have to be a library replacement. It could be that your app uses a DB server and a message queue for async tasks. Containers allow you to easily run those servers locally for dev if you don't care about performance and maybe in prod you'll have a dedicated server for them, or use some DB as a service offering.

It's nothing about what it actually does. If your business model:

It would be super helpful if they at least released the name of their data sources.

The places layer would be invaluable for (for example, stuff I'm working on now) geospatial healthcare access analytics if I could rely on the places being a reasonably accurate source of provider locations.

It's a lot of work to tie all the CMS data with health plan data etc.. and then to geocode it all with OSM tiger geocoders. If I could rely on that data already being present and scrubbed, it would be a godsend.
It's a misunderstanding that smart contracts are just about money. What you have in essence is decentralized verifiable computation, which can and often is used for finance stuff, but isn't limited to that at all.

> Haven't figured it out for emacs yet.

Up until today I'd been using

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c RET")
(lambda () (interactive)
(set-frame-parameter
nil 'fullscreen
(when (not (frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen)) 'maximized))))

, which just makes the current frame maximized. A quick search turned up [0] which seems to give the desired effect of pre-lion "fullscreen" (hiding the menu bar and taking up 100% of the screen).

I've tentatively switched to it for now, although I noticed some weirdness when I got a message saying that I could run M-x toggle-frame-fullscreen by pressing f11: when I hit globe-f11 the
resulting frame/window configuration sometimes ends up being mostly black. When I use M-x toggle-frame-fullscreen, it doesn't have this behavior.

I'm not sure about your plans but you should consider implementing this based on the language server protocol model. Having it run as a local service that editors and other applications can interact with. LSP was a huge success and seems like a good model to follow.
I disagree. Especially for business software.

Unlike hobby software, where you could reasonably write everything from scratch just for fun, or say in write it in 6502 ASM which hasn’t changed at all for 50 years and won’t change in 50 more, in modern business software, you use common frameworks, APIs, platforms. All of those mean the software you write will fail as those dependencies and platforms change and age out.

Business software has to be built on common building blocks because as a business you need to be able to hire people who can work on it. So things like Java and node and react and dozens of APIs exist which creates dependencies and requires ongoing maintenance as those components continue to change.

I wonder how much of the USSR’s success (until it wasn't) can be attributed to Marxism-Leninism rather than the fact that the country produced oil.

It’s like attributing the success of Saudi Arabia to its theocratical monarchy.

Oil is basically a cheat code for countries. If you have oil, you will do OK regardless of political/economical system.

Even then, the quality of life in the USSR was pretty poor compared to the capitalist West.

Responding to you but this applies to lots of stuff in this thread.
Quoting wikipedia, "a smart contract is a computer program or a transaction protocol that is intended to automatically execute, control or document events and actions according to the terms of a contract or an agreement. The objectives of smart contracts are the reduction of need for trusted intermediators, arbitration costs, and fraud losses, as well as the reduction of malicious and accidental exceptions."

How can anyone possibly object to this technology as if it were a) impossible or b) useless? In the next sentence we get into "commonly associated with cryptocurrencies", but I think the main idea is already there in the opening. There is no strict requirement for whatever implementation details that you love to hate (blockchain, digital goods, digital titles, web3, etc).
Not if you’re using the resistors to demand power. It will only provide 5v, the same as USB-A. It’s sort of a “backwards-compatibility” mode.

US Government Contract Types: The Federal Acquisition Regulations
Government contracting comes for a fair bit of comment and criticism here. A lot of it is justified but I also think there are misconceptions. For example, Cost plus fixed fee does not mean you can overrun and still make a profit. The fee is fixed at inception. In an overrun situation you may recover your incurred costs but you progressively dilute your profit - something that the executive suite watches very closely.

The URL describes various contract types and when each is appropriate. It is a small piece of the full FAR.

I wouldn't cite grocery stores as a model for "organization" given that their "information architecture" of where things are in relation to another is driven by dark design patterns like "put the most often sought after items at the BACK of the store (like milk / eggs) so people have to walk through and see all the other products". There's nothing "organized" about this insofar as being an optimal organization for anything but manipulating people.
