> the ISPs want a stateless solution, so customers get a dynamic prefix. Maintaining the same prefix across power outages needs a stateful solution, so only business plans offer them for an extra fee, much like static ipv4 addresses.

I'm surprised based on my experience: in 15 years of residential IPv6 usage I've always had the same IPv6 prefix (for a given ISP contract of course), even for those ISPs that insisted on handing out dynamic IPv4 with no option for a static one plus had no qualms renewing the IP at any moment, not just power down.

> stateful solution

I'm seeing this the other way around: dynamic needs lease tracking while static just needs a permanent record attached to the already present auth mechanism.
Wouldn't len(str(num)) be adequate here? This is a quite literal translation of what the code should be doing: measuring the length of the text representation of a number. The mathematical approach seems a little convoluted, although it serves the purpose of teaching a lesson.

This view -- to put it bluntly -- is ignorant.

Sometimes people want small families, and sometimes they don't.

Sometimes low sperm count means waiting a few years, and sometimes it doesn't.

Sometimes couples have a few years of fertility window, and sometimes they don't.

And this is ignoring any other possible health issues for which infertility is only one symptom.
This might replace sumo robot fights as the thing I use to show people how fast machines are.

Like, seriously, I don't think most people can comprehend the speed of robots, much less the speed of the processing controlling them. I think it's one of those things you should just intuitively understand if you're living in the modern world.

If the robots ever do rise up, and I'm not saying they will, you won't see it coming!
If this story were at all true, then you know very well that not everyone in science works hard. In my graduate cohort, those who did the sets first year, set themselves into research, and worked hard graduated. Those who did not left with a masters, although many found success in other fields. It was quite clearly delineated.

> It's very profitable!

Have you tried being a landlord, if it is very profitable? If not why not?

The best way to be profitable as a landlord is to inherit a paid-off property and rent that out.

But if you aren't that lucky and have to actually pay for the property you rent out, it is very difficult to make a profit, let alone one that beats just putting the money into an index fund.

> a clever, unintuitive solution to a difficult problem

If you approach from the mathematics side of things, building on log₁₀ is the completely obvious approach to use. If it seems unintuitive, that’s just because you don’t understand logarithms.

> the autograding test cases did not include a test using a power of 10.

That’s a pretty glaring oversight. Boundary cases are probably the most important things to cover in such tests. I’d be wanting to test things like 0, 1, 9, 10, 11, 99, 100, 101, and so forth. (Also negative numbers, unless the problem explicitly constrained it to {0, 1, 2, …}.)

We often talk about edge cases in testing, but this reveals that the edges can be not just at the extremes, but also at intermediate value changes. Put another way (still fuzzy!), these are the interesting values. You test interesting values.

This would also be a good place to use property testing; instead of hard-coding a bunch of tests (or perhaps as well as), compare against a large number of generated values, comparing with a known-good implementation, probably just len(str(number)).

As a American who's followed politics closely since 1980s, I'll bet I can level harder hitting more direct criticism of US politics bleeding into justice under the law than any outsider. Now is not that time. Yet, the prepondernce of immigration remains to the US and oecd. Not china, and many other places the US has substantial differences with. Eventually even the Chinese/hk populous who are in a sense more patient will get sick of things too. Let's not work in absolutes that US criticism means our house is 100% not glass. Instiutionally the US congress, gop, and even scotus have serious problems which are bad for everyone. Basically since newt gingrich was house speaker congress has been sucking it more and more. And that's from a person who until about 10 years ago was a straight line gop voter, the only one in my family.

I am not really talking about cross-language dependencies. I mean simple things like Java product engineers who know gradle and want to use gradle and get grumpy when they don't know how to add dependencies to WORKSPACE. These people need to be trained to use different tools rather than use the skills they already know. That's fine, but it's definitely a cost to using bazel.

Or if you are trying to maintain bazel for an org. Invariably, you will receive requests of the form "I would like to achieve [well document thing in language-specific build tool], please help me do that in Bazel". The net result for me, who was once in that role, is that understanding the original build system, then bending bazel to match a certain behavior (usually with no or inadequate docs) is a huge amount of effort. Enough that I now am skeptical of the value-add of bazel.

Wikipedia says: "International law defines sovereign states as having a permanent population, defined territory, a government not under another, and the capacity to interact with other states.[2] "

Taiwan has a permanent population, it has a government not under another, and it has the capacity to interact with other states (and does). There's no doubt Taiwan is a state and the only reason it's not universally recognized as one is China.

"Palestine" has no defined territory, no government, and really no capacity to interact with other states as one.

Wikipedia goes on to say: "There are also entities that do not have control over any territory or do not unequivocally meet the declarative criteria for statehood but have been recognised to exist as sovereign entities by at least one other state." including Palestine in this list.

It feels like the statehood of Palestinians should be a matter between them, Israel, Jordan and Egypt, the three countries that own the land that Palestinians desire to have as their state. Can the world declare that California is a state if the US doesn't want it to be?

Btw re: admission to the UN: "The requisite conditions are five in number: to be admitted to membership in the United Nations, an applicant must (1) be a State; (2) be peace-loving; (3) accept the obligations of the Charter; (4) be able to carry out these obligations; and (5) be willing to do so."

I'm happy with bzlmod.

What I hate about it is that not every bazel ruleset I use has yet been ported to it. But it's getting there.

For example in my monorepo I'm only missing rule_distroless and I migrated all my deps to bzlmod.

The modules lock file situation has been greatly improved since 7.2.0-rc1. The lock file contains much less digests in it and its less likely to cause spurious merge conflicts

With bazelisk and .bazelversion we managed to have everybody use the same version of bazel and thus we could cheaply try out the rc1 and so far is working fine.

None of that seems accurate, not when it comes to Netanyahu. He's not a religious zealot and almost certainly isn't pursuing anything because of religion.

> But there are millions of people in Israel that want nothing more than this. And he is their leader.

I don't think there are millions in Israel that want Al Aqsa demolished, that is a delusion that has no historical basis at all. There are of course religious extremists who want really bad things, but they are a relatively small minority of the population.

Most of the population just wants to live in peace and safety. They believe there is no safety to be found with a Palestinian state next door (with good reason, see what happened in Gaza).

> This thing in Gaza may well have been dragged out, just in the hopes that [...] or Iron Dome might shoot down something in just such a way as that the debris would fall on al Aqsa.

This is a ridiculous line of thinking. Hamas (and Iran) are shooting rockets at Israel, including at al Aqsa, Israel is spending millions with the iron dome to shoot down those rockets, and you think it's part of a nefarious Israeli plan to destroy al Aqsa?

The idea wasn't to make infringement more illegal, it was to take DRM removal tools off the market. There were already theories of secondary liability - i.e. "contributory infringement" - for aiding someone in an infringement, but the courts had refused to apply them to new copying technologies[0]. Copyright owners also hoped that this would make player vendors obedient to them far beyond what the law actually mandated.

In this respect, DMCA 1201 has been fantastically successful at terrorizing basically everyone into overcomplying. There's no concrete definition of what a copy protection scheme actually is[2], so you can point to any undesirable antifeature of a product and call that DRM. This is pure catnip to gaslighting control freak companies like Apple.

For what it's worth, if you put something uncopyrightable under a DMCA 1201 technical protection measure, it holds no legal value[1]. I imagine this would also apply to public domain works, so you can legally decrypt them. Problem is, I struggle to see a legal way to sell the tools necessary to decrypt such works.

[0] I'm specifically referring to the Betamax case, though that one was less "you're selling piracy tools" and more "you're telling people to go pirate movies". The Grokster case would partially overturn this, so you can get contributory liability for advertising infringing use cases of your software (aka "inducement"), independent of DMCA 1201.

I suspect that if inducement was a valid theory of liability in the 80s, we wouldn't have seen such a huge, cross-industry push to enact DMCA 1201. People selling cracks would be legally liable under the inducement theory, but we wouldn't have a blanket ban on tools that could be used lawfully, like, say, tools that let you defeat parts pairing.

[1] This, oddly enough, had to be proven in court with cases about garage door openers and printer cartridges, which took almost a decade to resolve.

[2] The original law did codify existing DRM schemes (notably Macrovision, which it spends whole pages defining), but none of those are relevant today.

I don’t think copy/pasting the same response everywhere is better.

IIRC, CloudRun has multiple modes of operation (fully-managed and in a K8s cluster) and different sandboxes for the fully-managed environment (VM-based and gVisor-based). Like everything, performance depends a lot of the specifics — for example, the network depends a lot more on the network path (e.g. are
you using a VPC connector?) than it does the specific sandbox or network stack (i.e. if you want to push 40gbps, spin up a dedicated GCE instance.) Similarly, the lack of a persistent disk is a design choice for multiple reasons — if you need a lot of non-tmpfs disk or persistent state, CloudRun might not be the right place for the service.

It sounds like you personally had a bad experience or hit a sharp edge, which sucks and I empathize — but I think you can just be concrete about that rather than projecting with system call times (I’d be happy to give you the reason gen1 sandbox would be slow for a typical heavy python app doing 20,000 stats on startup — and it’s real but not really system calls or anything you’re pointing at,… either way you could just turn on gen2 or use other products, e.g. GCE containers, GKE autopilot, etc.).

I’m not sure what’s wrong with advice re: optimizing for a serverless platform (like global variables). I don’t really think it would be sensible to recompute/rebuild application state on any serverless platform on any provider.

I actually use both, but my main DAW is on Windows because of cost of storage and processor at the time I built it. It's now due for replacement, and I'm still pretty confident I can build a more performant Windows system for less money than buying anything macOS based - even if I buy a mac Studio I'd need to go for 64GB RAM, and that would be £2500 for just the system unit with 512GB of storage. I can build a faster windows-based i9 system for that, complete with 64GB of RAM and probably 4TB of storage (if not more).

I've got an M1 max macbook Pro as I've used macbooks for a few years now and despite trying Windows-based laptops out, I've not found any where the keyboard, trackpad, build quality and screen match up to a mac, and I (for the most part) like macOS more than Windows.

As for some other replies about plug-ins and instruments, I used to find that Windows was far more popular and available, but now nearly everything I've bought is available cross platform, so it's nowhere near the issue it used to be.

Once you've set up auth integration, in each approved ticket, the user can start a session by clicking a button. The subsequent flow depends on the type of integration.
- If it is supabase, we will mint the token and redirect to the url specified in your settings with the token.
- If it is custom integration, we will pass the ticket id to the url that you have specified. In your backend, you should handle the request by fetching the impersonation request details, authenticate the user accordingly, and return a redirect.

There are lots of reasons why you don't hand your personal information to everyone, why you wear clothes even though it might be warm enough not to, etc.

But the key point for me, is that knowing you are being watched, or even suspecting it, changes behaviour.

They are absolutely against the law. The problem is that none of it is enforced in any manor. Try calling the police in most places for something that isn't an emergency. They'll tell you to file a report, and they'll look into it at some point(hint: they won't).

At least with HOAs, they will fine you and possibly take your house. For these extreme cases it's a great way to keep people in shape. I guess the problem is when they get abusive and try to do the above for yard weed, paint, or other benign violations.

While in general I agree with this paper, there are various details in its arguments that I consider wrong or incomplete.

For instance, he lists 3 main domains of applications that have driven the development of various branches of mathematics. While one of the application domains has indeed started as hydrodynamics (later also as aerodynamics), despite the remaining importance of fluid dynamics, I believe that nowadays the most important application in this domain is the simulation of semiconductor devices, which is required in the development of new manufacturing processes, and which certainly dwarfs even the simulations of military watercraft or aircraft.

Another example is that he claims that quaternions cannot be obtained in a straightforward way as a generalization of "real" numbers or "complex" numbers.

He is right about this only because he attempts to derive such numbers in the reverse direction in comparison with how they must be derived logically and how they have been discovered historically. Unfortunately this wrong direction of derivation from some arbitrary axioms of "real" numbers is contained in almost all modern mathematics manuals.

Both logically and historically, vectors are the primary concept and scalars are a secondary concept that is derived from vectors.

The "real" numbers, "complex" numbers and quaternions are all obtained as the results of some division operations applied to certain kinds of vector pairs. Affine spaces (i.e. spaces of points) can be defined axiomatically, vector spaces can be defined based on affine spaces (a vector is the difference between a pair of points) and scalars are the quotients of pairs of collinear vectors. "Complex" numbers and quaternions appear naturally as quotients of certain kinds of non-collinear vectors. With a proper set of axioms for affine spaces all the properties of the derived notions, i.e. vectors, scalars (i.e. "real" numbers), "complex" numbers and quaternions result automatically.

What are now called "real numbers", have been called for millennia "measures", where a scalar, i.e. a real number, was explicitly derived from a pair of physical quantities, e.g. lengths, by dividing a quantity to be measured to a measurement standard unit. In the past the fact that the scalars are derived from vectors and not vice-versa was obvious. (When "real" numbers were called "measures", the term "number" was restricted to integers and rational numbers.)

The modern teaching method where a set of axioms for the "real" numbers is chosen arbitrarily and other mathematical objects are derived by arbitrary rules from the "real" numbers obscures the meaning of the "real" numbers and the historical development of mathematics. The "real" numbers are not the result of arbitrary choices, but they result automatically from attempting to model the properties of the space-time, which is the primitive concept.

While the "real" numbers and all related continuous quantities are derived from the space-time, the "numbers" in the old sense, i.e. the integers and the rational numbers and other related discrete quantities are derived from the finite sets.
