You can mitigate that somewhat by blocking entire apex domains (public suffix list would likely be helpful here), but I think the root problem is allowing anyone to say whatever they want to anyone else in a fairly anonymous manner, and I just don't think that's a scalable concept.
A doubling of travel time is harsh. But I'm wondering how you managed to charge so inefficiently (time wise). Could it be, that you traveled with the smallest Škoda Enyaq which only supports up to 50kW of charging rate?

I checked your route with abetterrouteplanner.com using two different Enyaq models. One with 50kW charging and one with 100kW+. Here are the travel times:

- Enyaq iV 50 (50kW charging): 33 hours

- Enyaq iV 80 (100kW charging): 26 hours

- Google Maps (w/o charging time): 22,5 hours

I think you just had the wrong car model for this kind of trip.

Right there, Eternal doesn't even try to cover the same use case as Mosh. It might be an alternative, same way regular SSH is an alternative, but there's no way it can be "better"

> The problem with doing CJK and other languages properly is that you need a lot of data lookup tables

Hmm.. My impression is that with other search software, just splitting CJK text into bigrams often works well enough for a lot of things, but I guess because sqlite FTS doesn't allow fuzzy searches where it returns the best ranked results even if they don't include all the input tokens, that might not work.

Perhaps a good compromise would be to figure out a way to include an extension by default that requires the additional data lookup tables for CJK support to be loaded at runtime if required? That way the binary sqlite distribution could still be standardized, since loading custom binary extensions isn't really that convenient if you're using a language other than c and trying to build binaries for multiple platforms.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like the creators of sqlite are that interested in solving this problem since theoretically you can just use extensions to do whatever you need.
Stuff like this is rarely worth the cost or effort to implement in the US because like 1% of the population will ever end up using it. We are talking about a country where 1 in 5 households still don't have (and don't want) internet.
If you hand the cop your unlocked phone, and they hop over from the ID app to other apps and find evidence they think implicates you in a crime, what happens?

If you hand the cop your phone, and then say “hey I need that back to call my lawyer” and they say “Sorry, no, I need to keep this for processing”, what happens?

There are cases every day where cops are just outright wrong about the law, your rights, or their own department’s policies. The law protects them from being either criminally or civilly implicated in most of those cases, because they’re not expected to be experts in the law. For most purposes, to have a case against a law enforcement officer for violating your rights, you’d need to show that their behavior was so egregious that it was crystal clear they should have known their action was a violation of your rights. And courts have looked very favorably on LEOs historically in this context: things that to a lay person would count as “obvious” have not met that bar.

So while you may, after spending a pile of money, time, and energy, find out that yes, the police officer overstepped, you’ve still been severely impacted by their action.
> What should we do when clearly doing nothing is also a problem?

For nutrition at least, doing nothing to try to influence eating habits from the 50s or so would have almost certainly been better than what we have done. Probably better than current recommendations are as well, given the history and given the abysmal quality of nutritional studies.
Aren't there a lot of desert areas that were created by overgrazing goats i.e. not natural?
You don't need specific temporal support for an event-oriented DB, nor would I want it. I usually design a vanilla relational schema around events regardless of which DBMS I'm using. E.g. instead of an "order" table with multiple states updated in-place, I'd have "order_placed" and "order_filled" where each row is an event, insert-only.
No backup or the backup systems could be hit by the same problem.

A lot of “backups” are onto online storage, which is great when you accidentally delete a file. Not so much when you say lose control of a domain admin account.

This is an amazing resource, but it just doesn't beat the feel or utility of having a real slide rule in your hands. Part of the appeal is the ability to rapidly compute at the expense of precision (it's the fundamental tradeoff of the slide rule, though larger slide rules and careful use try to minimize it), but the emulated versions encourage precision over speed by design.

>SVG content copyright to the person creating the SVG.

um... no. In the US, you can't take an image that I have a copyright to and turn it into an SVG and distribute it such that web browsers will render it into a facsimile of the image I own without infringing my copyright. It would be on you, not on the person viewing it.

At best you've created a derivative work that you can stop me from distributing and I'd have to make my own SVG. Of course, you wouldn't even have a license to send me a copy of your SVG, so I'd have to create my own anyway.
This says mDL. The QR code is at most a cryptographically signed attestation of relevant attributes (eg age, name, etc). Not sure if this made it in, but originally the ISO group had been talking about also signing >18/>21 of sharing the actual birthday for things like restricted sales. I don’t recall discussing QR codes as it was supposed to be NFC but maybe that changed (don’t see a mention of QR codes on the site). Having a dedicated app always struck me as the wrong experience but I think that’ll get sorted and Apple and Google should integrate it into their wallets.

We’re quite close as a society to not needing a wallet at all and instead it’s sufficient to have your phone or smart watch with you. Modern iPhones conceivably can even have a dead battery and still provide your ID information.

Btw this is an ISO standard that has good participation from relevant regulatory bodies for some of the largest countries so this will be the standard everyone adopts.
Skipping the README seems like a good way to ensure nobody uses your project.
The presence of fiber alone doesn’t necessarily offer these kinds of health benefits. It largely has to do with the structure of the fiber and if it’s affecting the speed of digestion of the food. A smoothie is far less healthy than the unprocessed fruit (assuming nothing else is added to the smoothie) simply because the act of blending the fruit liberates the sugars from inside the cells, allowing faster absorption (and resulting in insulin spikes/crashes).

Any fiber is still better than none, but it’s not just a matter of amounts.
I thought about it just now, and it made me think of a potential solution. Though it feels so simple and naive (I feel like it shouldn’t work), but I couldn’t find a reason for why it wouldn’t, so I am curious what people think about this.

Imagine there was a special type of a payment card that would work with only adult-content provider websites (aka porn). It would function sort of like a debit card, you can load up money on it from other sources, you can withdraw money from it at any time, etc. However, no chargebacks allowed (which are already not really a thing with regular debit cards anyway, it is mostly a credit card feature).

For bonus points, you can have some sort of a verification (maybe requiring 2FA, maybe something else) that would kick in every time you load money on that card, but NOT when you use that card to pay for anything. So adult content providers won’t need any verification to do on their part (aka you won’t need to give them any of your identifying info).

I guess what I am describing is literally just a quirky kind of a debit card/account that attempts to resolve issues that stem from the whole “chargeback of shame” scenario, thus making the transactions less high-risk for payment processors/providers. Which would, conversely, make payment processing less of a problem for the adult-content providers and, therefore, customers.

P.S. do adult-content providers currently have any issues with debit cards as the payment source? Asking because if chargebacks were the main concern for the payment processors (which would refuse to work with adult-content providers due to chargebacks making it high-risk), then by that logic they should have no problem with debit cards, since they feature no chargebacks. The only thing my proposal adds on top of that is the verification/dispute with the bank/card issuer would be done not on the level of each individual transaction for an adult service, but on the level of loading up that “adult-only” card (and what happens from that point on is not accessible to your bank). Which also makes the situation a bit less “embarrassing” for the customer too.
US dev shops are immensely more profitable than anything else. It’s not about where the devs are, it’s whether you’re a U.S. company. So that’s all moot.
> I think, as others have mentioned, there is an implicit ethnonationalism here in linking various governments, specifically post-colonial states (say Nigeria) with the tribes that live in them.

Saying that a government/colonial construct where most of those tribes were forced into, doesn't/shouldn't represent them is beyond absurd. London represents them then? Or they are considered lost?

>Now, its important to note two things here. 1) many of these tribes, before colonialism, before the establishment of the contemporary west-african states, were in fact slave empires, and the reason they had such rich cultural products was for the same reason that western nations, at the time, did.

You are forgetting that most of those items can be traced to their indigenous owners. You prefer calling them tribes but they were in fact nations/kingdoms of their own that were forced into colonial constructs like Nigeria, so don't lie yourself that Nigeria is somehow trying to act like colonial Britain.

>2) that these objects should be stored in whatever facility can host them best. We all admit Nigeria is not as wealthy as the UK, so its entirely possible that the UK after returning perhaps, thousands of precious artifacts, worth an uncountable sum, a desperate government might, given the right circumstances, sell them, whereas the UK probably will not (at least not in the near future).

This would be amusing if it wasn't some sort of gaslighting. Yes Africa is poor, most states corrupt. But saying that UK should help them store those items, without their consent, items that they took by force. Wow

> Call me conservative if you like, but culturally important objects are often only designated as such the moment they are placed in a museum.

What does conservative even mean in this case? Aren't you just mixing neocolonialism with conservatism?

So why did the colonial plunderers think they are worth a trip from rural Nigeria, Benin, deep India to the Empire's capital if they were values at the time in their owners poor huts, shambas and valleys?

>Who knows if the former slave empire tribes of west Africa would've valued all the pieces so highly had they not been put on display.

You are really something.

Someone sits in India, creates a paint on their own without force. Thieves still it. After 200 years, you sit in your house to tell us that they didn't know what they created?

By the way, how do you think the plunderers discovered them? Or why do you think the owners at the time put in their time to create/preserve them until they were found? Is your talk of former slave empire tribes of West Africa aimed at a negating European colonial crimes?

>By "getting them back," these ethnic groups are merely reproducing the same order that they oppose, in fact they have completed, in a way, the colonial circuit, by becoming a mirror of the power that created them.

As I said above, the owners of those items can be traced.
Another approach is to temporarily remove the fence and the gate and monitor the effects. This is far less work than doing an organization-wide audit to first determine why the fence and gate exist.

Chesterton's Fence leads to the ossification of large organizations. Determining why the fence exists can be so much work that it's easier to just leave it be and move on or go and work somewhere nimble.
That’s a interesting opinion.

It seems like saying if you won’t bother bending over to pick up a penny, how can anyone expect you to bend over and pick up a one hundred dollar bill - one is worth the effort and one isn’t. People regularly make efforts and propose laws to solve bigger issues - the issue isn’t effort as much as adversarial disagreement.
They don't, but I'm sure there are some who are salivating at the thought of using traffic stops to simplify collecting evidence.
This feels like a weird pitch. Yes, the way it works right now is that it loads a fresh QR code every time. But that’s a design choice they made, and they could make a different one. We’ve managed to make secure payments work using phone Wallets, and for those, the phone is performing a handshake with the reader as opposed to sending fixed, static credentials. Likewise, when I add an airline ticket to my Wallet, it automatically updates periodically if my gate or flight time change. Why wouldn’t we be able to find a similar solution here?
If you define "high COL" as the area where you cannot afford a house on 300K income then sure, but you definitely can afford a house pretty much anywhere in the US with such an income, which qualifies you for over $1M loan.
Relational and event-driven aren't exclusive concepts, that's the problem with the article. Also, it'd help to have a real example of the solution it proposes, since we all know the "old" way it describes is in Postgres/MySQL/whatever.
One benefit of the banking industry's bias against the poor is that cash can never be eliminated in the US.
I mean, in some relative (like 10%) or some absolute amount? I think I'd expect the "more trained" model to drop performance by less (as a %, which is hard to define here) but more in absolute sense. Which, is basically impossible to measure but even if it was measurable..I don't feel confident about that prediction, it's speculation.
I know forge is written in Java (I checked that before writing my comment). How do you propose a chatbot would find out about that though? It seems to me that it would have have a scraper that takes in not just existing comments, and the page itself, but that follows links on the page to discover more "interesting" information. That just seems like an unlikely thing to do. Not only is it unnecessary work, but most context in links would lead to less relevant generated comments, not more relevant ones....
I would love to hear your reservations. We've made some choices for simplicity that I expected us to have to engineer around, but a surprising number of them haven't been problems in practice. In short, I have reservations too.
Note, Gemini Ultra, which they claim is competitive with or possibly even better than GPT-4, isn’t out yet. They have released a weaker model, Gemini Pro.

And in between, at the coma, revise seriously your indexing policy and don't hesitate to remove unused and underused index (even on foreign key if you don't need them that much). People too often underestimate the impact of rebuilding and index on large inserts.
True, but I don't really see the point. They're better than before, but the laws of physics dictate they'll never be good. If I can't use good speakers I'd rather use headphones. Sacrificing efficiency doesn't matter when the driver is so close to your ear it doesn't need to be loud.

I'd start with learning the layout model and the selector rules to get the mental model right. A lot of things clicked into place once I had a good mental model.

The main idea for layouts is that the CSS layout properties like width or margin are interpreted based on which layout mode you're in. Some html tags (<span>, <a>, <img>) default to the "inline" mode, where they are put side by side horizontally and wrap to the next line. Some html tags (<p>, <div>, <h1>) default to the "block" mode, where they are put one after the other vertically and "wrapping" doesn't mean anything. There's "inline block" which is inline on the outside but block on the inside. There's also "flex" and "grid" and "table" layouts, and their inline-on-the-outside variants. Each layout mode is useful for different things.

So when I'm frustrated about <span> not honoring width, or margin-auto not working for <img>, it's because the inline layout has word wrap. When there are 2.5 lines of wrapped content, things like width and margin work differently than in block layout mode. Instead of tweaking width/margin, I found it more useful to go back to understanding why it was not doing what I want, and then switch the layout mode to the one that matches my needs. Recommended: https://www.joshwcomeau.com/css/understanding-layout-algorit...

Selector rules are a pattern matching system to assign CSS properties to HTML elements. They also have priorities, so some selectors will have a higher or lower priority than others. These are sometimes useful, sometimes frustrating. I don't have a good reference at the moment, although I see that MDN has a page https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/Building_...

I think of BEM, tailwind, sass, etc. as ways of using CSS once you know what CSS you want, rather than replacing having to know CSS. It's like how React is a way to constructing HTML, but you still have to know what HTML you want to construct. So I wouldn't start with them.

BTW it is a lot of fun to right click on a page, inspect the css, and start tweaking it!
They list other advantages in the README such as tying into the web authentication model, which is pretty big for enterprise use as everything moves towards OIDC. If they could eventually use passkeys that’d be really nice.

To me, the killer feature of a paper identification document is that it just works.

I've been in an accident. They're trying to figure out who I am for whatever reason (i. e. to hopefully tell my family what happened). The paper card still works. The phone may have been damaged, had the battery go flat, or be locked and they can't guess the PIN. I'd rather they just look at the paper card.

Similarly, if I get pulled over, the cop knows what to do with a paper card, and it's not suddenly going to do something like flash a push notification, or lock the phone because he pressed the wrong button, and escalate the situation.

The problems this solves are both questionable:

1. I can load all my stuff onto my phone and don't need to carry a wallet! Good for you, honey. Frankly, retooling government infrastructure to satisfy an aesthetic pet peeve is sort of a waste of money. Worst case, get one of those fold-open cases with slots for cards, because you're going to have some card that can't be digitized anyway, even if it's the "collect 12 punches and get a free taco" card.

2. It might allow us to generate some "yes this person is over 18" display without leaking the home address. That's assuming that it gets built properly, and consumed properly. We've seen, well, every app in the world. Nobody is going to be selective with permissions when they can ask the moon, and people are generally not in a situation to negotiate over it.

What if you already run a web server which uses port 443? Strange that the readme doesn't mention that scenario because it's extremely common.

Presumably you'd choose a different port but then it'd be pretty obvious you're running something if your server has a random HTTPS server exposed on port 444 or whatever.
