Is there any 'legal' way to get around sharing a password if asked to?

I'm thinking either a rotating password that you learn only when you need to access a device/file that is on a separate device that you store somewhere else.

Or we take a leaf out of nuclear launch keys and two people have part of the password- if any of this is remotely different- obligatory IANAL
There’s read.cv which is a network, portfolio and job posting site that’s more focused towards the design community. I have seen software dev jobs posted in there too.

I’ve also struggled to find an alternative to LinkedIn (which is unbearable at times). Maybe the way forward is for each community to have its own unique platform, like read.cv for the design community, another for games, embedded, etc.

Aside from that Hacker news who’s hiring has been the most useful in discovering opportunities for me personally although I realise this is focused mainly on technology roles.

I feel like I'm in the minority- but I actually kind of like Edge. I understand that it's probably not the best in terms of privacy, but I rarely search for things I shouldn't. The integration with AI (Copilot) is quite nice and have changed how I search now. I also use it for generating ideas and leads on open-ended questions, too... which has helped a lot in my creative endeavors. I know this sounds like a pro-Microsoft comment and post, but I just want to get on my computer - do a few things and get some stuff done. I don't live my entire life on my PC anymore.

When Google advertised their browser every time you visited google.com with a non-Google browser, nobody lost their mind. Nobody (yes, I know some people complain) complains when Apple forces Safari on every iOS user (Even if you used a non-Apple browser, it's still Safari under the hood).

But when Microsoft does it, people would have you believe the sky is falling.
My surname once broke authentication system behind my university. Any time I tried to login, it would crash for a few minutes logging out other users. Years later when I got my British passport it also contained my surname "latinised". I was told I should mail Home Office and get some certification that naturalisation certificates and passports don't include special accented letters and in fact the passport contains a mistake that cannot be corrected in the passport. Technically I have my Polish passport with different surname than the British one. This story isn't that unusual.
I see what you are driving at and I think we are looking at the problem from slightly different lenses yet still drawing much the same conclusions.

There's no room for design in finding the shortest distance between two points, but there is room for design in picking which points you wish to find the distance on -- I think perhaps for meaningful discussion on this specific topic my definition of "Software Design" is too broad-scope ;)

This is knee jerk reaction. Why the states and cities would have their role to increase public transit, other alternatives would set them up naturally in fact from private sector or people adopting other means of transportation.

IIRC pipx uses your local Python version. So in your example, you'd need to `pipx install` while py 3.11 was active.

Certainly not ideal, but I find it's unusual for a tool to require a super-new version. Plus, `pyenv` makes it easy enough to install multiple versions in parallel and run commands under specific versions.

Sure, it would be better if this whole process wasn't so complicated, but I find it's pretty workable overall.

If I write a book and it's good, me doing other stuff later, even with the same characters doesn't change the original book.

You want to feel like the subject is yours, and if it's too widespread, lots of people will learn about it, in an "inpure way" (scoff, learning about an amazing comic strip in a movie) and so it cheapens it. Only with this "hipster" view on things you could say that. I think it's impossible to cheapen something without changing it.

If the first edition was cool and the second edition changes the language for sensitivities for example, that can cheapen it, because it actually changed it. McDonald's offering a toy of a character from the first edition, changes nothing.
It also emulate home consoles. It’s got the best Sega Genesis emulator to my knowledge. Usually, emulators have issues with its sound hardware. But not MAME.
That is my experience as well. Another case where the "clumsy proxy" issue happens is when I help a frontend dev debug something with the backend, especially online. Do collaborative IDEs exist? How usable are they? A collaborative terminal might be useful too (for when I want to run a few commands quickly to check something on my colleague's computer). Thinking about what I just wrote, maybe I could ssh into their machine?
That sounds like an attitude that would lead to poverty. I recommend investing in things that make money.

The equivalent to static linking in Python would be bundling all code into an archive (including transitive dependencies), along with an interpreter. Some shell script can be used to unpack and run.

> There is a big difference morally between someone accidentally killed while persuing a legal military target, and intentionally gunning down a rave or children at a day care.

Not all of us agree with this. The idea of “legal military target” grows out of the idea of “just war”, which many of us reject outright.
Even Gandhi allowed for armed conflict where there is no peaceful alternative, and Nelson Mandela was in a paramilitary group.

The difference between a pacifist and a hawk is the frequency of such appeals and the definition of its necessity.

I've always been a pacifist, but I struggle to condemn the actions of a populace that has now been subjected to brutal apartheid conditions for several generations.

>It wasn't obscure to fantasy fans, but very few fantasy books break through and sell well. Most genre fiction outside of romance, thrillers/crime sell ridiculously low numbers.

It seems that almost all media nowadays is some fantasy / scifi subgenre. As is often remarked the nerds won. It seems unlikely that the conventional wisdom about what sells would not have been changed somewhat by this state of things.

> Squeezing means you can go below the limits imposed by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle for a short period of time

This is not entirely accurate. The Heisenberg uncertainty (or Schrödinger/Robertson) uncertainty limits still work. If you somehow break those limits you disprove quantum mechanics.

Squeezing just reduces the uncertainty in one observable by increasing the uncertainty in the other observable.

> They're still kicking our ass like it's just Tuesday.

Have you not be keeping track of how the Chinese economy is doing? A hair over 5% growth the next 2 years. That's terrible for a developing economy - not quite half of what their target is.

Foreign investment is fleeing. The real estate market is undermining the economy. Fear of deflation.

Then layer on the demographics issues and China has a major problem. There is a very real possibility they get stuck in the middle income trap like so many countries before them.

In no possible way are they still "kicking our ass".

We're approaching a time when people get to choose to drive themselves vs use a self-driving car, and that decision is personal. There's a lot of nuance hidden in these statistics. If a self-driving car is slightly safer than drink driving, but otherwise slightly worse than the average sober driver, that's relevant to people who never drink. Using a self-driving car would, statistically, lower their personal safety given those assumptions.

From another angle, imagine if we could aggressively ban drink drivers from the road, enforce regular eye exams, suspend the licenses of speeders, etc. Currently the lack of alternate transportation options makes these policies unpopular. Banning a driver could make it difficult for someone to commute to work, for example. Banning poor eye-sight could isolate the elderly. It's "too harsh". If affordable self-driving cars were an option (or damn it... public transit...) then these policies would likely have public support. So there could be a future where the bottom x% of drivers aren't allowed to drive.

Wild idea: maybe they could try to make a pilot project of that in - ironically - the decaying Motor City maybe.

Also: the big car mania spilling over from the US to Europe makes driving in European cities/roads more and more difficult, as formerly bidirectional parts are now choke points where only a single oversized SUV can fit through at a time.
> but the US 2001 edition of LOTR alone sold ~2m copies between 2001 and 2003

do we have stats for sales in the 1980s etc. ? I would expect the 2m was replacement, new generation of readers sales because before extra market opened up by movies (which obviously must have happened) all the people who would buy that book, which was also probably a lot, had already bought one.

This is interesting all the same but are you seriously arguing they should have designed iOS Settings in the likeness of MacOS Settings? Do you know if there's any like artist renderings or something that could help visually/graphically represent that?

Unfortunately, as you move into higher dimensions, these algorithms typically bog down.

Suppose that you have a point that is inside of the convex hull of the mesh that you want to use for triangulation (we‘re talking hyper-triangles here). What are the best points to choose for your triangulation? Since there are a lot of candidates for hyper-triangles you cannot possibly store the set of triangles beforehand.

I approached this problem using linear programming using the distance to the mesh points to find the best triangle. Not sure if this is the best approach though.

Happy to hear if someone knows of a better approach.

That is a tricky one.

> Also, I was under the impression that in most countries on this planet, the priviledge of being allowed to drive a car is handed out with the drivers licence, which in most countries, you actually have to have training and a test for.

Training which varies a lot depending on the country. I did a lot of hours + 3000kms under supervision of my father + dedicated classes with emergency from 90kph to 0 braking on varying surfaces, including having 2 wheels on gravel and 2 wheels on pavement to be able to handle situations where the car would naturally go sideways. My Mexican partner in comparison took a handful of classes using an automatic car and only passed the test using a simulator and there you go she had her license.

> I also thought it was normal practice that these licenses also get revoked, based on tickets...

It needs an absurd amount of them for it to happen and we should still require periodic tests and knowledge refresh of the rules of the road.

I am pretty sure they represent a marginal fraction of the accidents/killing compared to distracted drivers.

I don't think so, or as someone else pointed out, it would rip the earth apart before we felt it.

I'm no physicist, but, the earth is massive so is influenced a lot more by external gravity than the specs on its surface that are people. Take the moon, it's a huge object hovering over the planet (effectively, it's slow moving, the earth rotates underneath it), its gravity pulling on seawater and causing ebb and flow. But we cannot feel its gravitational effects ourselves.

Depends on the audience. Laypeople generally know numbers up to a trillion, hence the choice of language. I only happen to know what a quadrillion is because I've played Cookie Clicker.

LLM vectors do have decent linear properties already. But for document embedding purposes they are often further trained for retrieval via cosine similarity, which enhances this, e.g. see table 1 in [1], avg retrieval performancs using BERT goes up from 54 to 76 after fine-tuning for embeddings.

putting aside that there is no language agnostic way to replace non us-ascii letters in Latin languages the sometimes absurd ways it can get done wrong are just rediculus

like replacing letters with accents with spaces or some unknown letter mark instead of the letter without accent

this also doesn't just apply to human names e.g. if you replace äöüß in German city names you can get the names of different existing cities and also it's often done wrong too (äöü are accents in Germanic languages, they are full independent letters which official us-ascii representations are ae,oe,ue)
I'm also atheist, but I don't have a problem with the Judas story. Firstly, I don't think that the miracles happened as depicted, so a real-life Judas may have thought "I bet he switched the wine and water flasks" or "I know there's just submerged rocks under that water".

Alternatively, if he truly believed in Jesus as a god, then he might think "how could they kill a god?" and would want the silver as he'd expect it to be funny when the Romans couldn't kill him.

> Petty little things like political ramifications have a funny way of not being so petty,by definition 51% of people in a democracy can decide they will not be stopped from driving.

I am pretty sure among those 51% of people only a fraction is made up of total assholes that wouldn't change the way they drive if rules were more strict while another fraction could accept more and more stringent laws, especially if they come gradually and would increase their standards of driving to keep that privilege.
The point is that "nobody ever complained except you" and that programmers cost money, so no change is ever made.

>> Judas's story is a big point in supporting my atheism ,

> One might say that the existence of a doubter or rejector lends the story authenticity.

The story? Certainly!

Evidence of that specific god? Not at all (it's actually the opposite).

Let me put it this way:

You get told a story about how someone, $LEADER, had millions of people following his proposal to get rich, hanging on his every word, believing his every utterance, because he claimed to have the people's interest at heart.

Believable? Maybe.

Then you get told that one guy from $LEADER's inner circle, who saw every thing that $LEADER did, and heard everything that $LEADER said, stopped believing that $LEADER was, in actual fact, capable of doing what he said he could do.

Believable? Sure, much more than before.

But .. that still doesn't provide any evidence that $LEADER was, in fact, who he claimed to be, nor that what he claimed was true, nor that he believed what he claimed to be true.

In fact, it's just the opposite - we now have more reason to believe the story, but disbelieve the claims of $LEADER.

Replace $LEADER with SBF and the context with cryptocurrencies.
