> If you search for "$town_name transit app"

Do people really search for entirely temporary/short-term/single-use use apps, like for a resort town's transit or a restaurant? For me it's a last resort thing, if there's no website or it's unusable.
FAA investigation into pilots hiding major health issues. Most are still flying
Having worked for an internet service provider its common for people to literally refer to their internet connection as their "wifi" and fail to differentiate between their network and their upstream connection or even fail to differentiate between more obvious categories of things like their computer being able to turn on and "the internet". Their mental model isn't a graph its an amorphous blob.

It's humorous if you ask them if they have a wire and wired device to test they frequently act as if you asking them if they have a vacuum tube or a teletype. Meanwhile they frequently struggle with wifi configuration problems with devices that are 3 feet from one another.
What kind of non-developer would find that website useful, though?

Bingo. Choosing forum software is choosing a long-term commitment.

Someone expressing such views is not just of a different political spectrum, he has a fragile mind.

Making a forum in assembler probably requires such a mind, but I would rather choose greedy, drugs-dependant but reasonsbly normal Drupalers than this dude.

I think it was just the enter key to execute the selected text.
in Python, dicts are actually definitionally ordered, since 3.7, so this objection doesn't carry much weight.

additionally, you might be interested to know that the implementation of dicts as ordered was found to be more performant than its predecessor.

Finally, even if they were unordered, there would be no need for ordering in this proposal, which depends on unique integer keys starting at 0.
Phoenix framework is what you're looking for. I can build out mvps as quickly as in django/ror but the runtime perf is on par with go or rust (for io bound stuff)

Been in operation for 3 years and scaling has come out though incremental improvements. no large scale rewrites needed.

1. out of the bod req/res time is fast

2. multiclustered websockets come out of the box with channels for subscribing to events

3. easy to spin up a "service" as a genserver

4. best ecosystem of tooling for building asynchronous and parrallel systems

5. liveview is THE standard for reactive frontend frameworks where you are updating in real time from serverside html. (no shade thrown on rails but hotwire is a joke by comparison) liveview processers are persistent for the live of teh user session and can subscribe to server side events so you can have a user make a request, push the task into the background and update the ui when its completed with very little code.

ok so type safety isn't at ocaml, rust or haskell level but its good enough that Its rarely the source of bugs assuming you perform even minimal testing.
I've never understood how/why encryption is the answer to man-in-the middle.

Seems like this is proof that it's not.
Dicts already have confusing half-ordered, half-not semantics. As of 3.7 they are guaranteed to be insertion-ordered, but operators like == don't care about order.
Dicts are ordered as of Python 3.7.

>the insertion-order preservation nature of dict objects has been declared to be an official part of the Python language spec.

https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.7.html
Good point.

"Time" in a computer is not a real number in the mathematical sense. It's quantized. So simply set the quantum unit appropriately and call all trades within that unit "the same time."

Then the choice is between N identical trades that come in at the same time. Random seems as good a method as any.
That doesn't really match the way people are using offsets. If you buy offsets for a flight and ten years later you learn that that they were ineffective... what? The least effective offsets having the lowest price isn't a good incentive either.
> I don't know how the author used the word "heritable"...

If the author doesn't really know what heritability means, then maybe they're not in a position to be communicating to the world about what the "overwhelming evidence" shows, or even having an opinion on the matter at all.

Look at this list of the most cited cognitive scientists in the journal "cognitive science"... https://exaly.com/rankings/author/journal-2/19263/

#1, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Elman ... Jeffery Elman. I wonder what his stance on the matter is. Let's see if there's a quick way to determine what his thought on heritability are.

Turns out right on his wikipedia page he wrote a book about what he thinks about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rethinking_Innateness

It's call "Rethinking Innateness," questioning the over-attribution to genetics of gene x environment interactions.

It took me all of 2 minutes to look that up. The author of this article clearly just completely made up what they said. They had no basis or intellectual discipline in arriving at their opinion.

I had never heard of Jeffery Elman (though I'm familiar with some of his work on RNN's apparently). I had the same thoughts about gene x environment interactions that he apparently describes in his book. I arrived there through a combination of reading papers about the impact of genetics on psychological and cognitive function as well as using critical thinking... as I bet most who have studied cognitive science would.

If I were going to publish a blog post, let alone a book, I would at least do the bare minimum 2 minute google search to see if I'm completely making stuff up before I make claims, implied or explicit, about the consensus of a whole field.
The right way to do a carbon tax is to refund 100% of the money to the population. Everyone gets a check every month for the entire amount collected, divided by the number of citizens. This way it costs you nothing unless you emit more carbon than the average person, and you can even come out ahead if you emit less. On top of that, it ends up being a net transfer from corporations to individuals, because corporations still pay the tax but only individuals get the checks.

It would also be a very informative trial run for a UBI (though in this case the amount would be smaller).

The "problem" with this is strictly politics: a) It would actually work, so the fossil fuel energy companies hate it; b) There is no opportunity for graft because the money is distributed to everyone and not just the politically connected, so there is no special interest lobby trying to make it happen.
I liked it better when the internet was made of cats. Now there are too many dogs and it's not as fun.
It's an indication that someone can be a good programmer while still lapping up Putin's propaganda.

On a related note, I somewhat recently posted just the link to the very religious SQLite ethics page on Facebook - which immediately flagged it as some objectionable something or other. Just a link to a web page of one of the most popular open source packages on the planet which Facebook itself no doubt uses. They're so incredibly leftist that their algorithms can't even abide linking to a religiously oriented page.

Who is putting forth that straw premise?
It would be like receiving `{ads: []}`. How do you distinguish between the case of having no ads to show, and someone tampering with the data?

Is it ever reasonable to assume you have a properly decoded empty array because a user tampered with it, instead of that being what the server gave back to you?

If you have to choose between (a) the app shutting down or (b) the user not seeing ads bc the ad array is empty, you are probably going to pick B.
Good point, hadn't thought of that
This is why I always laugh when western progressives attack any criticism of Islam as Islamophobia.

Like, really? Try living in Nigeria, Indonesia, or any other Muslim-majority country where being accused of cursing Mohammed can get you stoned and burned on the streets and then come back and preach to me about the religion of peace.

Just last year, a young Nigerian Christian girl was stoned to death and burned BY HER MUSLIM CLASSMATES who accused her of insulting Mohammed. If you think people who think like this have a place in civil society, I don't even know what to tell you.
No, I don't want to go around dividing those things into “accessibility” and “merely aesthetic” buckets, and then only allow the things in the first bucket. For one thing, some of them are both.

I can and do apply custom style sheets to all kinds of web pages, which make all kinds of changes that the web designer might not like. Some of them improve the aesthetics according to my idiosyncratic preferences, others improve my ability to access the content. And of course it should go without saying that I remove all the ads and other nonsense too.

If you are speaking as a web designer, then you don’t get to complain about rounded corners on the viewport. Or about any other thing which the browser does to your page, even if you think of your page as an application.

If you are speaking simply as a user of Edge, then you should complain to Microsoft if those rounded corners offend your sense of aesthetics. Or use a different browser. I recommend Firefox! Firefox is great.
Yes most modern C compilers will stop you from dereferencing a void pointer. Still, I couldn't help but bring up what can happen. Since I didn't witness it I can only assume 3 mile island was someone dereferencing a void pointer and it was easier to explain with a nuclear meltdown.
Swiftfin is what I was talking about. The "Jellyfin Mobile" app doesn't support Apple TV at all, and Swiftfin is a far worse experience than Plex's Apple TV app.

Didn't we have something similar to that with the early DOS-based palmtop PCs?
It's a joke (clearly not a very good one) based on my experience that when Apple first offered only 8GB of RAM on the first ASi Macs, everyone's response was that Apple Silicon can simply store more data in the same amount of memory or something. Back when I used macOS on Intel, 16GB was relatively comfortable, but I can't imagine that switching to ARM would magically halve memory requirements.

(Yes, the Intel Mac had memory compression as well. And my Windows 11 PC also has memory compression, but only if you also enable swap because Microsoft says "fuck you".)

What does that even mean? If you halt the match engine for one second, you can expect 100000 order placement requests to queue up until that second is over. And then what? If you process the whole queue and then rest another second etc., then you change the HF game only a little, the fight is now about your spot in the queue.
void * was introduced after char * had been the pre-standard way of addressing any memory. Compilers of the era would let you use void * like char *, because it made it easier to change char * into void *.
No, it isn't. Extremely tall players have not dominated in basketball. Steph Curry is only 6' 4", while Manute Bol (7' 7") was successful but not a GOAT.

Secondly, basketball has all kinds of rules to even the competition, e.g. zone defenses, shot clocks, etc.

Baseball has umpires checking pitchers' hands for sticky substances. Rules are a part of fair competition.

You can't define a client component like that, it's just not possible. Server and client are two different scripts with different entrypoints, with no shared closures.

Are you referring to Server Actions? That's a feature separate to RSC, from what I can tell not supported by the framework in TFA, and the React maintainers are aware of what you mentioned. Server Actions are currently unreleased and undocumented (though NextJS already supports them in alpha), and you can expect their behaviour to change in significant ways.

For those who don't know, essentially the following Server Actions code:

const serverComponent = () => {
const secret = "my secret";
const myServerAction = () => {
"use server";
submitSecretToDB(secret);
}

return <button onClick={myServerAction} />
};

will roughly render to the following HTML:

<button onClick="post('/myServerAction', {secret: 'my secret'})"></button>

which is unexpected because you probably wouldn't expect RSCs to leave behind this value used in code (as RSCs are executed on the server). But this is not the RSC's fault, it's the server action which is compiled down in an unintuitive way. React devs have discussed potential fixes (eg. encryption) on Twitter, I'm not sure whether they've been implemented yet or not.
Can you elaborate on this? In particular, the use of "everyone" -- do you really mean everyone? Can you describe some of the common arguments about why not everyone can have an app and explain why they are logically wrong?
I think the controversy around the opinion is twofold. Some people don’t believe that it’s difficult to lose weight because “all you need need to do is eat less” without realizing or understanding how hard it is. With the direct opposite controversial opinion being that some people believe that it’s much more than just CICO because of how hard it is to eat less to lose weight with long periods of little to no weight loss despite a caloric deficit.

I heard how easy it was for decades and generally it was from people who have never had a weight issue in their life. Frankly, they are clueless idiots. I also know from my own journey that your body definitely will fuck with you in some extraordinary ways that over the short term can make you suspicious that there is more to it than a calorie deficit. I went for 3 months with a definite calculable calorie deficit and lost nearly nothing. My body just decided to retain some fluid for a time and that threw off the scale. I powered through the frustration with the lack of progress and dropped double digits in a week and then weight loss gradually fell appropriately after whatever biological/metabolic box got ticked.

I think ultimately it just comes down to the ability to ask a question. Googling did a lot for this, but LLM agents are on a whole other level. When someone can just endlessly ask questions and have them answered directly and comprehensibly, they can get past that initial stage of confusion in learning much quicker. It used to be you needed a human tutor to do this. But now an AI system can track and manage your knowledge graph and slowly level you up through direct natural language interaction.
I don't know what this means.

Are you saying professional designers don't care about this stuff?

I'm a developer with front-end skills; I've spent a lot of time around professional designers for 27 years and I usually implement people's style guides.

(I'm also a photographer, which should disqualify me from claiming to be an artist)
Consider not holding strong beliefs without empirical evidence. There are both plenty of long term python projects that have held up, and no strong evidence one way or the other on type safety.
Few notes
- iOS issue stems from a recent upgrade from an iframe to a webview. It's fixed on all mobile apps and versions.
- All DMARC-failing mail does go to spam.
- Caching images on receipt was examined but deemed impractical. It balloons email size from generally 50-150 KB to possibly multiple MB. Even for a personal mailbox, this could lead to 100s of GB being stored. Some version of this could be done on device or in the browser and temporarily stored. I actually think iOS either does this or will do this in the future.
The CPU runs in either 32bit or 64bit mode. That determines how it interprets the code. A CPU in 64bit mode would interpret 32bit code as 64bit garbage and vice versa.

Qs: to those who are running a MITM proxy

Is there no risk running an MITM proxy, even if self hosted, that can see all your financial and other important private communication?

I know a couple mentioned here are open source, but are they guaranteed to be safe? How do I know which one (s) are good to use and can be trusted.

ChatGPT-like copy code React component
Hi everyone!

I made an easy to use component to display code with syntax highlighting and a clipboard users can click to copy the code to their clipboard. The design is based on OpenAI's component in ChatGPT, and can be styled further.
The component can also be used to display text without syntax highlighting.

Please give it a try and give feedback :)

Well, that sucks. I imagine this stuff is going to be worse on interplanetary missions and the like.

Though I have some faith that the space missions will have more scrutiny. Ultimately, no one cares that much about Antarctica. Space is much more high profile.

That seems like a very "wanting to have your cake and eat it too" setup on the part of the local municipalities.

The fuck is wrong with people?

Over the 9 month long winter, there's only about 200 men and 100 women, and over half of the latter express that SA is a problem. That implies that a lot of men are also going to be aware of the SA problem.
