And duration is really short, and rates don't shoot up too much. (You have no credit risk (as long as Congress keeps getting their act together wrt the debt ceiling), but still have rates risk, as measured by duration.)
Around the 8.05 mark in the link I posted, there were some universities. However I don't speak Spanish. I assume they were involved somehow?
Not as far as I'm aware, at least not without some really clever attack. The design is such that all you're doing is asking the remote agent to use it's private key to sign things, it never actually exposes the private key. Your agent doesn't even always have access to your private key- it could be on a TPM or Yubikey where the key never leaves the device. you are just passing around a connection to your agent that is able to authenticate with a private key.

I would not be surprised if there is some way to attack this into getting a private key, but it would either be a direct attack on the agent code like sending it malformed messages to somehow get remote code execution to then read the key. Or some more complicated attack on the cryptography where you repeatedly force it to auth and can somehow use the results to reduce the key space needed to brute force the key - along the lines of a known plaintext attack.

But I'm also just a hobbiest here who has looked a little into the security model but I am by no means a cryptography expert, so take all of this with a grain of salt.
I concur. I don't even see what philosophy this thread is trying to drive.
It's not unusual to do this in the Nix world.

There are a ton of VSCode extensions in Nixpkgs: https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=23.05&from=0&size=...

You can use them in combination with the vscode-with-extensions function to create a VSCode package that bundles in whatever extensions you declare: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Visual_Studio_Code
In my time as a dev I'd have times where I spent literally three days unemployed, other times I got poached by a recruiter when I was working for someone else, and other times where a job hunt has taken between 3 months and a year.

I can't say there is just one strategy that's worked for me: sometimes a side project just gets me hired, sometimes it was about interviewing better, sometimes I have worked remote, other times I have looked for something in my town.

I took this guy's course years ago

https://job-interview-answers.com/

and found it changed the way I think about interviewing completely which for me as a schizotype used to be a huge barrier.

that's fair enough. perhaps they can more easily in AV land make some kind of signature that whitelists this self-deletion javascript method because the script is more readable. though i'd expect a good AV to be at least worried if some executable on my system runs a script file via a scripthost.
Depends on your requirements. If your config complexity is getting beyond manageable, the benefit of something more reliable is apparent. Type safety clears lots of common bugs no test suite would be certain to filter out. How complex should your tests get? Do you want to take on that responsibility or rather delegate it to something that provides you certain guarantees? It’s all very subjective in the end.

I run my configs mostly as YAML in Consul and Vault, sometimes in Spring Cloud Config with a git backend. This way I have dynamic config evolution. But I prefer to generate those yaml files from Dhall to avoid unnecessary bugs. After years with Haskell, the syntax is very natural, too.

As for Postgres internals, they do matter if your data set keeps growing.

Xkcd covered standardization. YAML and JSON ASTs are graphs, YAML not necessarily a tree. JSON extensions also support references. As for the ops side, YAML has become a de facto standard, HCL is used with the HashiCorp tools. Nix has its own language.

It’s not about how it’s represented but how you express dependencies across config key nodes. It’s good to avoid repetition and have a syntax linter, a compiler even better. Small static configs are amenable to querying and writing. But you need to separate the writing from the querying the configs. With Dhall you write code to generate the actual config, whether as a Dhall AST or exported to YAML or JSON, with certain correctness guarantees upfront.

It was originally developed at Google, but Marcel is no longer there, there is a team and company behind it now.

The language is going to a foundation (still waiting for update from the CUE team), fun fact, it started as a fork of Go (for the lexer, parser, and a bunch of goodies in that source tree)

CUE's history is from borg, borgfig, GCL, but takes the approach Marcel always wanted to if not tied to the existing practices in a large company, namely Typed Feature Structures and logical programming (no overrides, layering, inheritance, general recursion)

We're about to release a TUI for working with CUE, and hoping that it will make learning much easier for people. We do a lot with Cuetorials, but there is only so much you can do on a website (/rant WASM limitations). Using the Go SDK is the way to unlock CUE super powers.

I helped some hotshot developer (who is clearly better Python programmer) debug an app which serves vector tiles. He insisted he wants to use MongoDB, because "he doesn't need to learn SQL". The app worked mostly fine except for low zoom levels in which some country outlines got chopped. The issue was that MongoDB only has spherical geometry as a first-class citizen. If you make a query against a 4-vertex bounding box, then on low zoom there's a discrepancy between querying on a sphere vs querying on WGS84 or Mercator. The solution was to densify vertices of the square against which objects to be served were intersected.
+1 for DataGrip. It's not perfect, but it's miles ahead of anything else I've used in the recent past.
It seems reasonable to hold a small amount of money there for "operating capital", knowing it could disappear, just as you could lose your wallet. I'm sorry if you consider that ferociously stupid.
You don't even necessarily need bindings to use Raylib in Zig. It uses Zig's build system so you can just clone Raylib's repo, add a couple of lines to build.zig, and it's ready to go with autocompletion and everything.

Both Raylib and Zig include all dependencies too, so I was able to build a single 700kb .exe from Linux, copy that to my Windows machine, and it just worked immediately without any issues. Pretty amazing.
Thank you for the detailed description of your idea. Indeed, if you're willing to accept the shortcomings of a dedicated USENET infrastructure, then it is definitely something that could be done. In fact, I did consider NNTP for another project of mine (https://github.com/mrusme/neonmodem), which might eventually swallow up Superhighway84 altogether. If you're interested in actually giving it a try and implement a functional NNTP library for Go I'd be more than happy to make use of it! :-)

> Superhighway84 it was very expensive for me to actually run the software

I agree with you, in terms of efficiency IPFS is still miles away from where it should be. Hence my feedback on Quiet, as I do not perceive IPFS to radically improve within the next few months or even years. And as you correctly stated it looks like Quiet uses some workarounds to improve on the overall mediocre efficiency of IPFS, which however lead to shortcomings on other ends:

> Quiet itself notes a limit of 30-100 individuals with its application

However, this is not how P2P should be. I'd be truly curious to hear from someone at OpenSea, or Fleek, or any of the services that offer high volume IPFS hosting about their experience and gut feeling on its future. I personally gave up on hosting my website via IPFS myself -- which I did for a brief period of time -- mainly for these exact reasons.

> but for those of us who are bandwidth-constrained or otherwise limited in our access to those technologies

I believe that quite on the contrary, this might benefit these people the most. Imagine not having to do the roundtrip from your phone, to a server on the internet, back to your computer, just to have a synchronized state of your address book available.

Similarly, imagine writing with someone in your city -- let's say Melbourne, Australia -- without your messages first travelling to Utah, USA, and then back again. My gut feeling is that overall congestion on the internet could even be reduced, by allowing more applications to communicate directly within small meshes rather than travel all the way across the globe and back again. That is, as soon as there are more efficient ways to deal with the overhead that is currently breaking IPFS' neck.

It's true that getting something going end-to-end is more important than being perfectionist about individual steps -- that's a good practical perspective. We hope good evaluation won't be such an enormous effort. Most of what we're trying to do at Explosion can be summarised as trying to make the right thing easy. Our annotation tool Prodigy is designed to scale down to smaller use-cases for instance ( https://prodigy.ai ). I admit it's still effort though, and depending on the task, may indeed still take expertise.
> We had 10 years to make our own engine and never did. I'm sure a lot of game companies are feeling the same today.

I think Facepunch is one of the indie studios uniquely poised to do this. Garry spent years working on modding the source engine, adding features to the point where it's like a new engine on top of the source renderer
> It seems like the bots would cost more? If bots are this cheap, I'd think more people would use them just to pump their numbers.

I don't think bot sales platforms are places most people would discover on their own, especially if they are willing to take money that is considered dirty.
That's a twisted and wrong narrative

"Unity like" refers to a Editor driven approach, not to a language

Unity became popular with its moonscript language (javascript like), they then ditched it to focus on C#, but what propelled unity to what it is today is the Editor driven approach, not c#, not DOTS (most AAA companies still fall back to lua in unity https://github.com/Tencent/xLua)

They are forced to transpile C# to C++ via IL2CPP as a result to target consoles/mobiles

C# is a disease when it comes to console/mobile support

It's a substantial dependency, quite heavy

And you are not free of unity like fuck ups, it's a microsoft language after all:

https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/22247

And let's not forget when they changed the license of their debugger overnight to prevent people from using it in their products (jetbrains for example)

And them deprecating open source tooling to a proprietary/closed one for vscode (c# devkit)

Let's be careful, and let's not recommend evil as an alternative to evil ;)

You are absolutely right. The current state of pgAdmin is enfuriating. I was forced to work with it recently, and I thought after all these years maybe something happened... oh dear, how wrong I was. That app is a full-rewrite away from production level.

I mainline DataGrip. It just works.
I thought unshielded microwave ovens are a problem because they heat stuff, and humans operate quite close to their thermal maximum. If you're at the upper end of normal body temperatures, a change of just 8°F/4°C can bring you from normal operating temperature to cell damage.

Thank you!! I hadn't hear of proxy-arp, but it seems like from cursory google searches that reading up on it will lead me down a promising path.

In the US if your credit card number is compromised you are legally out at most $50 (I haven't checked in 20 years so this may have changed, my comment is at least partially historical). In almost all cases the bank will just wave that $50 as they are already paying the rest. If your debit card is compromised the money comes from your account and legally they don't have to return it to you, instead you need to figure out who defrauded you and collect (my info is 20 years out of date so this is almost certainly wrong), though in practice the banks will probably return your money and collect on your behalf but this takes a month.

Note that the above is about the number, which is not secure in any situation. You don't need to have someones credit card, you just need to know the numbers. If you compromise an insecure website and get these details (bank rules don't allow storing the numbers, but if the website doesn't follow the rules). You can also take a picture of a card as someone is scanning it.

Europe went to the chip and pin system, plus a system where they bring cards readers to each table because they did not have the above protection for credit cards. Thus in Europe you would be a fool to let your waiter take your credit card to a backroom to pay for a meal because the waiter can then copy the numbers and/or the magstripe, and then use your credit card after returning the physical one to you (again, this is 20 years out of date, laws have changed but I don't know how!). Since the US has (20 years ago) better consumer protection laws around credit cards, people didn't care that chip+pin was more secure as practically it didn't make any difference, and for a while banks figured it wasn't worth caring. Once banks started caring everyone switched to the chip in the US - but we mostly don't use a PIN as the annoyance of needing to remember a PIN isn't worth putting on consumers here. (also Europe has made the portable terminals cheap so you find a lot of portable terminals here as well so cards are less likely to leave the owners hands thus making the PIN less important)
Funny thing is a good chunk of the biggest pop hits (and probably Spotify streams) are rooted in Swedish production. Max Martin alone is tied with George Harrison for production on number of Hot 100 songs[0].

For a population of roughly 10 million Sweden punches WAY above their weight in pop music (as well as other genres).

So we have Swedish gangs manipulating a Swedish platform that also has a lot of music Swedes have had a hand in. Fascinating!

Well, you can. It's more that what do visitors do, or what do people do if their phone is flat? Issue physical cards as well?

We've had a rapid uncontrolled population increase, this in combination with a overregulated housing market causes problems.

(housing regulation being rents are controlled for first party renters(artificially low)). This regulation means it's impossible to find a rental where you want to live because nobody builds them (they wouldn't be profitable).

This is not the answer, but it belive it's part of it.

That we increased our population with people who are either not educated or can't get their educations verified is also a problem.

When I was younger I had faith the government was doing what's best for it's people, that's eroded into "these populist aholes will say anything to win votes no matter how it affects people"

The superstrict regulation (but not enforcement, except when it's convenient) on drugs probably doesn't help either. I know a dude that was recently fined 19000 SEK for a couple grams of pot, he went to court and won though.

My country is broken, in a seemingly unbreakable downwards spiral to becoming a first class shithole.
For me, the idea of robots being necessary to provide needed therapy that otherwise would be unavailable is enough to induce existential despair. I really can't imagine it as a viable long term treatment. Much of the point of therapy is just having a human advocate who is invested in your wellbeing. AI therapy sends the message that human problems are not worthy of human attention.

I use a Google Sheet as it can be accessed from anywhere. Even my non-techie business folks can make changes (they feel at home in spreadsheets). I even added a menu button to the gsheet to launch a re-build (it is a static site on Netlify; the build fetches it's config/data from the gsheet).
>You're replying to my comment about an interface used to control such hubs, so it's what you are saying that's irrelevant in this context.

Yes. An interface. Because not all hubs can be controlled in-band. Maybe you have a different definition of "control".

>All hubs have means to control them via USB in-band (there are other things to control there than power too), and hubs that do support power switching can be controlled this way, so there's no need to use external interfaces like I2C unless you want to control such hub externally (not from the USB host), which is what this thread was about.

This is wrong though. I can't control my hub. Doesn't matter that there are some other stuff I could theoretically control. (or the OS does without my intervention)

Yes. The Github link is about how to control a USB hub via I2C. From the description:

>Have you ever wanted to control USB devices using an Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi? with the i2C USB Hub, you can! Turn on or off ports of the USB hub using i2c, as well as control indicator lights and set current limits per-port.

So you saying, that you could do that in-band is wrong, because not all hubs can be controlled in-band.

Or the easy definition: no port control == not controllable.

It sounds cliche but the old advice “do something you’re passionate about” applies. I have loved chemistry since I was a teenager because I had an inspiring teacher, without this passion I would have given up when I got to the very hard parts of math.

Personally I had to level up my math game a lot, when I started I had to keep pausing looking up terms, then write tiny prototypes, then keep learning. At the start it took me a month to read and understand a paper, now I can skim read them in minutes, without a passion for chemistry and the self discipline to keep at it I would have given up.

Take extensive notes, actually review them frequently, and refractor them as you learn.

Find mentors in the space, while reading papers I took names and reached out, I offered free programming to anyone who I found inspiring, and this built relationships with some pretty amazing professors and students around the world.

Hope that helps! <3
Nah, man. The stink is all over crypto/blockchain like dead fish at the corner of the beach. If your product has anything at all to do with cryptocurrencies or blockchain, I'm closing that tab instantly and moving on with my life. I have zero interest in any product associated with a tech that is used solely by hucksters and criminals. They've had more than a decade to find a single usecase other than crime, and they haven't. We need to just ignore these last few stupid projects that are falling out of the pipeline generated by idiotic contracts signed during the 2020 blockchain fraud/hype bubble.

It felt weird at the time, but I think the reach of COBOL is underestimated by just about everyone. I just checked the university's website and they still have their introductory Programming in COBOL course as well as a 400-level "Applications in Information Systems" course that "includes coverage of advanced features of the COBOL language."

>For example, if I were Adobe I would be training models, not to output full images, but either layers or brush strokes and tool pallet usage. Same for organizations that have all the component tracks of music to work with.

I really like this idea. Creating new tools for artists to use to create rather than whatever we're accepting as use now. The use of current full image creation is boring to me in the same way the choice of invisibility as a super power is. The invisibility is ultimately going to slide into pervy tendencies, just like deep fakes will slide in the same way or some other inappropriate use.
