The uneven availability of information means that no, it's not better to just design a better ID system. Data brokers give corporations far more advantages than a normal person could ever protect themselves against, because even if the data broke doesn't have your government issued credentials they can still easily designate who you are buy collating all the data from other means such as purchasing habits, cellular, and service guest lists.
brave is the most shady. at least google microsoft tells you while they spy on you. brave has:

installed a vpn with a running service without telling its window users in an update. also made it reinstall every update until they got called out and users kept complainiong. i mean they did eventually..

if you use brave search without the brave browser they would turn on on the send analytics option back on no matter what you do. ofc this was in secret like after you reopened the browser etc. every other setting would save.

the most popular privacy browser comparing site is owned by a brave employee. it was almost impossible to find this disclosure but they since have made it a bit more easier to spot. still the way they do tests is pretty sus. like testing out the box when they know they have a blocker and certain important settings on

etc etc. i mean i guess its not so surprising their job is hiding thing.

i used to use brave. even when i switched off i used brave search default. but the fact i couldnt turn off analytics, or more so they fact they made it look like i could turn it off made me never lose the last amount of respect i had for those guys. i mean i dont even care about privacy anymore really, i use edge. its just the shadiness that turns me off
CVE-2024-42472: Access to files outside flatpak sandbox
Only if you believe the competition isn't doing the same thing.

My bank isn't a monopoly. They provide with terrible service. (Truely terrible). Trouble is all their competitors are just as bad.

GM gets no blow-back from this. Firstly because "nobody" cares. Second because "I bet you they're all doing it" and thirdly because in 20 minutes I'll be outraged about something else. By the time I buy my next car I can't remember who had this issue, plus all the other complaints about all the other manufacturers.

If I stopped buying from every company that has, or is, behaving badly, every company that had a security breach, or contributed to the wrong politician, or hired a racist, or whatever, I'd never spend a dime.
> Big productions tend to mix assuming you'll play on speakers (where it's fine to have something playing on just one channel/speaker, since both your ears will hear it), but when it mixes down to stereo and you listen on headphones, it's soooo common for them to pan something 100% to one channel when the source is supposed to be on that side.

I find this genuinely baffling; I lived for nearly a decade as a bachelor in a basement apartment where I had a big TV setup, but out of respect for my upstairs landlord listened to nearly everything on wireless stereo headphones, and I can’t recall ever experiencing this.
I've been doing some data processing lately and stumbled across some problems that I thought could be improved by using some framework code - leading to less coding (by more re-use), better readability, configurable (to some extent) so not needing deployment...

To practice writing, I documented the journey here. Still lots to learn and experiment with, plus lots of other products to play with. But, it has been a good journey so far I think.

I think by now the concept of a vulnerability in voting systems has become too partisan in the US for anyone to ever address it.

A Whole Earth article by Stewart Brand about the crucial role of emergency preparation by the public, and the response of volunteers in response to major earthquakes, in the wake of the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake.

Huh. After seeing so many heroic acts by the residents adjacent to the collapsed Cypress Overpass highway structure in west Oakland, I felt embarrassed packing a personal first aid kit.

But that's not the point.

Turns out, simple things like preventing collapse of gas-fired residential hot water heaters can have a huge impact on fire prevention. Knowing how to operate the utility service cutoffs for your house or apartment complex.

Any emergency prevented frees up the response where it's needed most.
>Make the ID card optional, so that it simplifies things if you have it, but still allows operation without it.

python has been about expressing ideas. Even if the language doesn't support some of the concepts natively, it's useful to express it in python so it could be effectively transpiled into a language that does. This is what py2many needs from a curated subset of python with some enhancements as opposed to inventing a new language.

As an American living in Japan, your system sounds utterly stupid too.

Here, it's simple: the restaurant has a menu. Items on the menu each have a price that includes sales tax. You order items and eat them. When you're done, they give you a bill with a list of the items, the advertised prices, and the total of those prices. You then pay the bill.

The main exception (and it is annoying) is some places that have "otoshi", which is some small, cheap dish of something you didn't ask for that you get when you sit down, and they tack onto the bill. It's basically a table charge. But there's a warning on the menu about it.
because it involves admitting that you messed up which companies are often disensentivized to do
The example in the README sounds worse than the open source SOTA voice conversion model RVCv2 [1], and it doesn't include a license.

The RVC community is huge (millions of people!) [2], and there are lots of extensions, plugins, and pretrained and fine tuned models.

While it'd be great to have a successor to RVC, this doesn't look like it.

[2] RVC is the audio/voice world's analog of Stable Diffusion or Flux. There are hundreds of Discord communities and websites that host models, training data, real time voice conversion tools, and more.
Looks impressive. Like some others, I'm getting the bug that says "You are already connected" when I try to play.

That said, this is still good work, especially considering your experience and age (I checked out your 2D physics library on github and I found the trailer on youtube).

One suggestion: As someone in the game industry, I personally wouldn't label it an MMO as it doesn't include many of the features, particularly the "massive" part of MMO, that is usually associated with that term. The work is already impressive enough, you don't need to give it a label that could open it to criticism.

Otherwise, this is solid work. If you're aiming for a career in the game industry eventually, it's a good foundation to build on.
If you want a closed source license, use a closed source license. Nothing wrong with that; many companies do that. This particular license combination just creates the illusion of openness without most of the benefits for would be contributors.

> But there simply has to be control and restrictions over the use of software for it to be commercially viable (in almost every case).

That's the view of a single company that wants exclusive control, not the view of a company that wants to create a healthy OSS community. Healthy OSS communities tend to have more than one company involved and a diverse group of contributors. That's why OSS licenses exist that protect their mutual rights. It's a necessary compromise to prevent any contributor having that kind of power and allow them to collaborate and share code. This is the opposite; and it cannot create a healthy OSS community.

Which raises the question of what the point is of using this kind of licensing? I don't think it's about soliciting outside contributions as this kind of actively discourages that. And why else would you open source something?
Microprocessors (especially older ones) are _very_ hard to kill. They're a piece of silicon embedded in epoxy essentially, very inert. There are a lot of people who wash arcade PCBs in the dishwasher, not a practice I endorse, but it works.

> For once I'd like to see a politician promise to raise taxes and use that revenue to fix things and actually win. Perverse financial incentives are ruining everything.

The 2000 election was a debate over whether to use the budget surplus to reduce taxes or increased government spending. The "reduce taxes" side narrowly won, and then a year later the death of 3000 people provoked us into increasing spending by several hundred billion doallars per year. That doesn't completely explain the current unsustainable deficit ($1.5T or about 5% of GDP !!), but it's a good chunk of it.

Of course the Bush tax cuts were largely retained under Obama with a bipartisan bill that made them permanent with no corresponding cut to spending.
iPhone

My father was reluctant to switch from his beloved Blackberry to an iPhone.

Once he made the change, he found it so easy to use that he became much more engaged with technology and using his phone. The transition was so smooth that he developed retrograde amnesia in relation to his previous (or was that my trouble (emoji: thinking) in navigating a handy. While I'm not an Apple fanatic, this was a very positive experience with the switch to iPhone.
Ease of use.
This is the same Justice System that recently ruled a gratitutiy for a Judge after a ruling isn't a form of bribery or corruption. So your mileage may vary.
If Apple was honest they would tell users that if/when they buy things on the iPhone it will cost them 30% more. Then we would see how many people would go out of their way to save some money and how many would keep paying 30% more for the convenience.
Nice and easy, very democratic, 100% fair and honest.
Not going to see that from Apple any time soon...and from that we can only assume that Apple is not 100% fair or honest.
Thats just science. Older women are more experienced generally
That sounds terrible! Some people just take these things in stride I guess, but I have no interest in going through these kind of hurdles for something like this...

Making logins required to view twitter was the ultimate bed shitting move. The whole point of twitter was to be a broadcast medium. Tweets were viewable without following or logging in. There is a huge vacuum in that space now.
I suggest you use the WebTransport datagram API for your netcode, now that it's supported by the latest version of all major browsers (except Safari). WebSockets suffer from the typical head-of-line blocking issues inherent to TCP, which makes it a suboptimal fit for latency sensitive applications like multiplayer games, where you only care about the most recent state.

> It's not like the Fifth Circuit judges routinely ignore and misquote plain facts, yeah?

As opposed to elected officials, who... wait.

> The next issue is that you'll be pitting boring government bureaucrats against highly paid legal teams that can outdazzle pretty much anyone.

The US government is the largest bureaucracy in the world with an annual budget larger than that of any private corporation, employs more lawyers than anyone else, and those lawyers' average compensation breaks six figures.

> A typical rule takes about 3 years to finalize. Then you can delay it for 4-5 years by simply going through the court process as slowly as you can.

About the first thing a court is going to do is rule on an injunction, and when the company loses on that, drawing it out isn't going to help them because they can't proceed unless and until they win in court.

> And if you get a split judgement by going into the la-la land of East Texas judges and in parallel by suing in another location, you can drag it out even more by waiting on the SCOTUS!

This doesn't really have anything to do with a circuit split, except insofar as the SCOTUS is more likely to take the case if there is one.

> "Hey! We now can sue government agencies for allowing Teh Evul Glyphosate, and GMOs!". Nope, you can't. You don't have standing for that.

What happens if you sue the polluters?
If we take that as true, then we can ignore that aspect when we make our choice.

While both parties are funded by corporate interests, they still are far enough apart on policy and personality for the choice to have an impact.

Corporates are mostly caring about tax policy and industry regulation. They (mostly) have neutral stances on things like Healthcare, equality, racism, immigration, abortion and so on.

[1] Of course an exaggeration. Everyone can use it in a distributed way or mirror. The problem occurs when you’re on a team and everyone else doesn’t know how to.

Years ago (1991) in Canada, there was a massive change to the sales tax structure. It was quite convoluted, where things like 1 donut incurred tax, but a dozen had no tax. Potatoes had no sales tax, but of course, GST was levied on car sales.

Several large car dealerships immediately advertised that they were no longer selling cars, but expensive potatoes. If you bought a $12,000 potato from them (no tax), they'd throw in a free car.

You can imagine how long the government put up with that.
China has not bombed entire countries into ruble.

Right - it has a different style.

Instead, its government happily supported the genocidal Khmer Rouge, invaded Vietnam in retaliation for overthrowing that regime, and currently provides diplomatic, financial, and technical support to the Russian government which is currently bombing Ukraine into rubble (or as you cutely put it, "ruble").

Because hey, there's no point in China's regime letting a peccadillo such as Putin's murderous assault on Ukraine come between their limitless friendship, now is there?
Another PMF-inspired practice in vogue is using Google Adwords to channel keyword searches to a dummy product site listing various features. The idea is to establish PMF before even beginning work on the product. A certain click-through rate establishes a clear need and a ready market to consume the product.

I've always disliked this strategy. It doesn't feel good to start off your relationship with a customer with deception.
Partially inspired? That’s literally a diep.io clone. Not that that’s necessarily bad, sometimes it’s easier to clone an existing game you like when learning a new game engine/language. But you should own it.

Zod can also return result types: T.safeParse(x)

It’s not a very full featured Result, but you can wrap it with your own type.
it seems like you should be able to use the same pattern you do for searching for keywords to handle string sections and comments, by assigning a .instring or .incomment state and having all characters check the prior character for .instring or .incomment and replacing itself with its .instring or .incomment variant as appropriate
Also: metal structures can be at different potential than ground for reasons unrelated to the grid (e.g. static electricity). Grounding them helps to ensure they aren't which is especially helpful in environments where people handle sensitive electronics or ignition sources.

doing the write up on the contest of course has its own benefits, it just seems to me whenever I read one of these things I think it isn't worthwhile. Not just this contest, this one seemed worthwhile, but this has to also be compared with all the other contests, payoffs etc. This seems like a big win that even if it took 20 hours (which seems the max of time it could have taken - given edits took 8 hours) would still be a good wage - do you pay taxes on context wins?

But for every contest he enters and puts effort in what is the overall payoff, seems unlikely to be this high, and with that I would think it seems like a bunch of stuff to do for little money.

If my friend/family is paid to say good things about a brand, I also wouldn't trust their praise of said brand. I mean, I've had a family member sucked into a product selling pyramid scheme, so I have experienced exactly this scenario.

That is not to say that it doesn't work. The fact that the family member got into the pyramid scheme in the first place is proof that some people are susceptible to it. But also, none of us (the family) gave in to her advertisement, so obviously that's proof that a lot of people also aren't susceptible to it.

Author of typedload here.

typedload does this without need to pass a "discriminator" parameter.

Just having the types with the same field defined as a literal of different things will suffice.

I've also implemented an algorithm to inspect the data and find out the type directly from the literal field, to avoid having to try multiple types when loading a union. Pydantic has also implemented the same strategy afterwards.

typedload is faster than pydantic to load tagged unions. It is written in pure python.

edit: Also, typedload just uses completely regular dataclasses or attrs. No need for all those different BaseModel, RootModel and understanding when to use them.

It should not be deception.

The landing page should say: "We are building this product, but it's in the early stages. Leave us your email if you're interested to learn about its progress and availability before your competitors do. Early adopters will get discounts / free plans."

If this page gains any traction, subscriptions, interest expressed via the "Contact us" page, then the product is likely worth building past the feature list and a general idea of the architecture. You better have a prototype that will allow you to quickly demo some of your key promised features.
