ok, ok, but what if the scanner looked like it was out of a sci fi movie like minority report? that makes the process exciting. like you’re in a movie. or at least in that photo of Donald Trump, with local leaders in the middle east all touching that glowing sphere together?

not convinced yet? there’s so much more to love!

so what if by using the scanner, you got a coin, or token, basically like a gold star? To prove you to be real, which is the highest form of value? without it, how can you trust anyone is real on the internet? a language model could be making it up. (chatgpt has nothing to do with this and is not the problem!)

you say the benefits aren’t swaying you? very good, you are a rational actor, you won’t be baited by kindness.

alright so what if failure to use the scanner meant you didn’t get a gold star, segregating you from the gold star sneeches?

The link to the original analysis ("Analysis by the World Weather Attribution group") returns a Page not found.

Reading through their other material, it's not clear to me how they are able to make such a definitive statement. Statistics and modelling are not my strong suits though, so hopefully someone can chime in.
I've rewatched it twice, and season two is where it seriously picks up. You do need to be able to look past very dated effects and decor and some dated storytelling devices, but to me that adds to the charm. Incidentally some of that dated story telling is what makes season 1 slow - there's a lot of set-up going on, both in terms of setting and characters while they'd have benefit from just jumping straight in and filling those bits in along the way.

In terms of telling a coherent story throughout multiple seasons, it was remarkable at the time, and so compared with most series of the era it stands up far better despite the dated effects.

If they do a reboot, I hope they really does it justice and changes the stories enough that it can stand on its own. A straight remake would be a waste.
Show HN: TypeScript ORM with Access Control
ZenStack is built on top of Primsa ORM, extending it with an access control layer that simplifies the development of a web app's backend. By defining authorization policies and validation rules right inside the data schema, database client can automatically enforce these constraints at runtime bringing the following benefits:

- Centralized access control for better security and maintainability

- Less code to be written

The core of ZenStack is a transparent proxy around Prisma client which enforces access policies while keeping the APIs unchanged. It allows building the backend of new projects faster with minimal TS/JS code, and can also be easily adopted into existing projects.

Some other benefits it provides:

- Automatic CRUD APIs - RESTful, tRPC

- Generating client-side data access libraries (aka hooks) - SWR, TanStack Query

- A plugin system for 3rd party extension

Finally, ZenStack is not opinionated toward any stack or framework, allowing integration with the entire JavaScript and TypeScript ecosystem.

I’m not sure in C but in Python and JS the encapsulation can be at the module level rather than using a class. So you still get dot hunting by importing the module.
If we want to save the planet, we should go to war against Russia, not just eternal defense. Sometimes war is necessary to end war.

To save the planet from Climate Crisis and other matters, the only way that will work is a unified planet. That will never happen when there's Russia (and co.) who want to dominate the planet.

A great place to start would be taking Kaliningrad and thereby better geographically unifying the Baltic countries with the EU, instead of Russia succeeding by linking itself with Kaliningrad by taking the Suwalki Gap.

We need to start preparing for war. No, we should have already been prepared for war a long a time ago -- we should have already gone to war and won by now. But better start now than even later.

By the way Coca-Cola still uses coca leafs in the production, although perhaps it's so dilluted there are no traces left in the final product.

There is a single company that is authorized to import coca leafs to US. They create a cocaine free extract which they sell to Coca-Cola as an ingredient for their syrup.

Do people not remember the "Hacktoberfest" fiasco? People were encouraged to make a PR on public repos in exchange for a free t-shirt, and _obviously_ this led to repos being overrun with spam PRs changing a single line comment.

There were dozens of videos like this one,

with loads of people replying and thanking the author, excited for their t-shirt, not really knowing they're _creating unnecessary work_ for actual engineers with limited time.

Incentivized systems like this can work okay in small, self-selected communities, but as soon as it's open up to the entire world, the implied courtesy of said system vanishes, and immediately we're pandering to the lowest common denominator.

When scientific papers have a clear list of authors and delineated section headings, this point is moot. And in such papers, again, repetitive strings of sentences that begin with the same "we..." emphasizes the producers of the work over the work itself.

IT professionals with a decade of experience routinely fuck up their own environments and struggle to fix it. Asking IT staff to walk thorough “fixing up” a borked Linux env (for example because some kid is half following some tutorial to get some weird thing working and in the process breaking repos) is a major ask.

Having said that… yeah what I meant really is “have an easy way to reset it all”. This is what home directory partitions and the like are for, of course!

And schools are not in the business of teaching kids how to install an OS to a laptop. There are real things to do in the world.

Imagine being a kid who does not care about computers. You are now being asked to install an OS so you can use some word processor. What?

When I was worrying on my PhD I had a side project of fighting e-mail spam and had turned a corner of my work area into a command center. I would catch people spamming from dialups, immobilize them with a ping flood, then call the ISP and tell them “The notorious spammer Chris Knight from Los Angeles is on A.B.C.D and you have to cut them off.

There were numerous problems with ping floods not the least that you need root privilege to send ICMP (even if is embodied in a setups executable) and one day it hit me I could do almost the same damage with a UDP flood and wouldn’t need any privilege.

I coded up a simple UDP flood program that had no rate limiter and when I switched it on my X windows workstation became mostly unresponsive because I had saturated the Fast Ethernet, I managed to kill the program in about 30 seconds, I figure I consumed more than half the bandwidth of my Uni for that time.

I guess I could have written a rate limited UDP flood program but I was so spooked by that incident that I gave up and went back to sending faxes to spammer’s moms.

Just to be that guy… Coca-cola didn’t get its name from cocaine, but the coca leaves from which cocaine is extracted. Coca-cola still contains some amount of “decocainized” coca leaves. And the continued presence in the syrup formula is likely due to the name/brand.

> it’s more likely that it “continues to be used merely to enable the Company to retain the word ‘Coca’ in the name

What does this have to do with the made up name of a short message of 140 characters? Nothing. It’s not like sending a video or 141 character messages are auto associated with the term “X”.

But in the Coca-Cola case, the words in the brand do have meaning.
That's exactly what I did! We had a couple of Bolex cameras and a beautiful, mouse-ears Arriflex - point any of them at a monitor in a dark room and the quality was good enough for visuals in a warehouse that's also lit up by strobes / lasers / flashing lights etc. We were lucky enough to have a Rank film lab nearby who would give us out of date stock, and occasionally stock that was out of date and used but undeveloped - so every now and then we had loops of double exposures of the Amiga screen and some random home movies.
What an awful idea.

This was great, selfishly I really wish we had an up to date comparison of HTTP clients like this but for Clojure.
Physical objects like vegetables have much more inherent storage (especially when canned or frozen). Also, the consumer is typically responsible for the last mile. This is unlike a grid connection, where you have a wire running to your home sized for the maximum you might consume at any moment, not the average. Because solar is correlated among consumers, the distribution network still has to be sized for what they might occasionally consume, not their average consumption. Also, the power sources on the grid have to be there for these occasional peaks. If vegetables aren't available? You eat something else.

If enough people get solar, rate structures will change to be less based on kWh consumed and more based on what you have the right to call on, even if you don't consume it. This is similar to large industrial rates.
I felt that the Amiga needed someone with a sense of design directing the computer's UI. Despite its more advanced capabilities it still always looked like a kit-car to the Apple's Lotus Elan offerings in the 90's.
Probably depends a bit what example you're looking at.

Iceland has a very traditional name system which is enforced. I think the idea is basically that names won't evolve so they can preserve tradition.

Sweden on the other hand has a pretty vague "name can't be likely to cause child psychological harm" law, that doesn't really come into play unless you try to name your child something really outside the mainstream (there was a case a while back where a couple wanted to call their daughter "Metallica". I can't remember how that ended up going).

I don't see how the Swedish-style system would stop names evolving. There are still plenty of trends and new names that come and go just like in the US. I doubt extreme name choices like Elon's "x-ash-12" would inspire a whole bunch of children to be called that.
It would be a more interesting conversation if we were actually doing something about it. As it is we've been rehashing the same talking points for 30 years while global emissions reach new heights.

> In my mind this is a holdover from when Python was much more procedural/C-like

That never existed. Or if it did, it was long before any trace exists, and there's trace from quite a way back when e.g. the first commit in which I can find the len() builtin (https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/c636014c430620325f8...) also has calls to file.read and list.append, and the first python-level methods are created just a few commits later (https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/336f2816cd3599b0347...). Though there may be missing commits, this is 30 in, back when Python was an internal CWI thing (although nearly a year in, according to the official timelines of the early days).

This was years before magic methods were even added (https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/04691fc1c1bb737c0db...).

So no, I don't think it's a "holdover from" anything. Rather seems like it's GvR's sensibilities.

That's my point though. I get, that it can produce quite good results, if you are specific enough. And for some applications it makes sense to take your time and describe that as much as possible.

Most of the time I just need some small snippet though and usually I can get that with just a few keywords in my favorite search engine, which is way faster. So the conclusion is: There is no one or the other. They should be used complementary, or atleast that's what I am doing (as in use the search engine for quick hints and chatGPT for some more verbose stuff 'write me a parser for this csv in awk'.)

SSG vs SSR really has nothing to do with whether an API exists to provide the data you would otherwise need to scrape.

When was the last time you saw a site with a JSON API providing metadata, like the json-ld for a product on an e-commerce site? Or an API just for the open graph data? How would you even discover these APIs for sites that you don't own?

It's also worth noting that very, very few JSON APIs today are actually REST. They rarely include all the context needed, and in general JSON is much less useful than XML when you're talking to other APIs that you don't own since JSON can't easily describe the shape and datatypes of the content.
I've seen them in DIY stores in the Netherlands as well, mainly used to send larger cash sums to the safe... safely.

Most stores will have a lockbox at cash registers where any cash amount over a certain amount is stored in. I'm not sure if these lockboxes have a plain lock or a time lock and are only moved to the safe after closing time though. But most stores also discourage the use of cash, because it puts them at risk of robberies and counterfeits.

Paying with cash is still attractive though, because cash is tax free. That is, no paper trail if you pay for a job by cash and the person doing it doesn't log anything. Very popular with tradespeople.
