Right, but obviously it's something that plenty of people do care about, and is a big driver of keeping me on the upgrade cycle.

And "there is a big difference but not everyone cares about it" is quite different from "there isn't a big difference". The latter is clearly false.
Categories are very similar to groups. If you can see how groups come up often and so it can be useful to think about the concept of groups, it's exactly the same thing with categories.

A group models the invertible maps from one structure to itself. A groupoid models the invertible maps between a number of structures. A monoid models the maps from one structure to itself (without presuming invertibility). A category models the maps between a number of structures (without presuming invertibility).

Online comments / older articles also mention that New Brunswick is basically owned by the Irving family, which has lots of money and deep industrial connections, and unsurprisingly there is strong skepticism that they would be the ones who caused the sudden pivot from Federal to provincial and ensuing coverup.

If you're looking for serialization/deserialization, you might consider confactory [1]. I created to be a factory for objects defined in configs. It actually builds the Python objects without much effort on the user. It simply makes use of type annotations (though you can define your own serializers and deserializers).

It also supports complex structures like union types, lists, etc. I used it to create cresset [2], a package that allows building Pytorch models directly from config files.

It's my understanding that agreeableness isn't universally positive. Think about if you had an airline quality engineer who was too agreeable; they may not push back on a deficient product and defer to those who want to push it through just to get along. I've also heard that the most successful people don't necessarily score high on agreeableness.

Apple Music has some features that can work similarly, such as radio stations (though a lot of theirs are really more like podcasts) or they have lots of playlists of recommended hits from different genres and you can shuffle them.

He’s incredibly averse the debt, which is just his ideological stance, and this leads him to provide very bad advice. You’re not that likely to go bankrupt following his advice (it’s not impossible, I’ve seen him advise some very questionable house sales), but you’re much more likely to turn 65 and realise you can’t afford to retire following his advice, than you are following advice from an actually qualified adviser. If you had some extra disposable income today, and some low fixed rate debt, Ramsey would advise you to pay it down, even though almost any other investment would be an obviously better choice.

Providing people financial advice is regulated for a reason. The advice needs to be tailored to the person and their own circumstances. Ramsey never does this, he only has one script. If you happen to be a person who’s going to benefit from his approach (which I’m sure there’s a lot of people who would), then that’s good for you, but whether his advice is good or bad for any particular person is just up to chance.

This is very irresponsible, a very morally dubious way for somebody to make their money, and leads to him providing plenty of just objectively bad advice.

Q.com has recently been going around our town laying fiber. This is CenturyLink.

Back in 1995 I was working at QWest (now Century Link), and there was a neighborhood in West Omaha that was a trial for fiber to the home. QWest got a tariff increase approved, to pay for deploying fiber to the home for rural customers, by the year 2K. They never seemed, in any real way, to take steps toward that.

In fact, in the later '90s they were actively NOT deploying fiber to DSLAMs in neighborhoods, to give good DSL, because doing so would allow CLECs to have access to put equipment in neighborhoods. So we all had to suffer with whatever DSL we could get on cable runs that went back to one of two switch buildings serving the town.

Now, 30 years later, they're finally laying fiber. This is after the city is just finishing up laying their own fiber lines to every home and business in town, and I'm imagining that is partly responsible for the telco upgrades.
I don't mind the idea of the government (probably a municipality being the best level, perhaps with funding front he state and federal government) building out (or buying at a just compensation) a fiber optic network and providing the service themselves. Though having the government own the network and selling access to service providers on a open access system may be a better plan than providing the service directly... either way, according to the will of voters, sounds like a fine plan.
The TypeScript approach has given us one of the most interesting programming languages to appear in recent times, a language that is completely committed to structural typing.

The Dart approach just gave us yet another unimaginative nominally-typed language.

TypeScript is complex, but it’s also incredibly cool if you’re into compilers. Engineers do their best work when there are limitations imposed, in this case the need to add types to JS.
That doesn't sound like lots of choice, that sounds like you have one decent choice, or you can pay to have fibre laid.

I'm in the UK, and _I_ have ISP choice. I have two separate FTTP providers that have laid fibre to my door that I can choose from. I pay $60/mo for 900/500 guaranteed, but in practice I get 900/900 most of the time. The other provider is slightly more expensive but the same speeds.

If I don't want that, I can have gigabit cable, or two separate ADSL providers that will give me 140mbps (which is resold by countless providers for sub $30/mo)
Is there a market for lead-generation tools for Career Coaches
I am in the process of building one that uses natural language queries to output profiles from sources like LinkedIn, AngelList, etc.

If the career coach could specify with precision what they were looking for, e.g. a career changer who is transitioning from law to software engineering, would there be career coaches interested in such a tool (I've heard many rely on word-of-mouth referrals, so might not even very interested).

If it doesn't work for career coaches, I can always target job-seekers and recruiters as well I suppose
The S1 and S2 split was primarily due to deciding against bricking older devices with limited system memory (32/64 MB of storage as well as memory which could only hold so much code). So, S1 is effectively a deprecated system to allow you to continue using those older players but no longer receive system updates (and music services, from what I recall, are in a "YMMV" status).
In some countries, electric showers use a metal coil as a heating element, similar to a spring, located directly in the showerhead. When you turn on the faucet, water fills the showerhead and touches the metal, effectively bringing the positive and negative wires into contact. The coil then heats the water as it flows out. Occasionally, the coil can oxidize or break if there's not enough water running to keep it cool. When that happens, most people replace it themselves.

i mean it's the same reason most people in the usa don't have a bidet in their house; it's not because they're too poor to afford one. technology adoption is path-dependent and mostly random, and fear makes people conservative. yes, there are a few people who are familiar with the actual risks and rewards of the different technologies, but they're vastly outnumbered by the pre-galilean minds who are entirely guided by conventional wisdom

The hardware features used for this are Intel and AMD CPU extensions: they're writing a microvm to run inside special "enclave" virtual machines. Go is a fine language but it's not really intended for this sort of work. Rust is a natural fit for this work: you can write low level drivers and also ensure a number of safety properties.
It's a decent amount of upkeep and cost, but I get paid do it for a bunch of clients who desire this for their companies and have my own which is humming along great. If you go the route of a script to set everything up I found iredmail to be the most mature and reliable solution, even if the upgrade path is super manual at least it gives you a chance to know at what point things went wrong rather than having to pour over logs to fix something broken that is running in production. It also pairs nicely with open source failover solutions and if you need enterprise support they're extremely responsive. Bonus points for getting it working with your phone for backups of contacts, calendar and notes with CalDAV or whatever to really decouple yourself from cloud services with shady terms (I had to pay for an app on my phone for this to really work, but it works great). Setting your whole mailserver up manually is also an option , but be prepared to sink like a month of time into learning how the hell to do that. This is technology from the 1970s with a ton to get it working in the modern world after all.

Just be wary that you'll have to upgrade kinda often. I keep subscribed to github alerts for iredmail as they're really prompt about notifying their customers when they need to patch security holes.

Ok, let's assume you know how long an operation is supposed to take, but want to stop it from leaking if it returns faster.

To accomplish this, you would need a high-resolution timer that runs before the operation, after the operation, and then you can subtract the two and wait. And maybe that might work.

But you're not running in kernel space.

The resolution of timing information you'd get from this tactic would be noisy, and may reintroduce the signal you were trying to hide. Especially if you're running on multiple threads or physical processors, and aren't careful enough to constrain the operations and timings to the same core.

All it will do is slow your software down and maybe not actually help.

And that's the best case scenario!

Better to just use constant-time algorithms.

> With a password, I don't need to use a software product.

Formally, you still need a computing device with software that allows you to input and transmit the password, as well as any related challenges. (E.g. you may have hard time logging in on a device that doesn't have a physical or full virtual keyboard, like a TV - I literally had to grab a laptop and change password once because there was no character on the virtual keyboard that I needed to "type".)

While public-key cryptography isn't really doable on pen and paper, I don't see anything fundamentally wrong with requiring to perform some computations, as long as every step is documented and end-user fully and completely has access and owns their credentials. "You won't have a calculator^W computer" was the biggest lie from my childhood - everyone does, or can, including full control of ownership of the device if desired.

Of course, this is not the case with how Passkeys are currently implemented, as the corporate is extremely hostile against even idea of letting user to export "their" "own" keys.
Do you drink wine? The best analogy for the difference between Moutai vs Moutai Prince is the difference between a $100+ bottle of fruit forward Napa Cab vs a supermarket red that tastes like it had sugar injected into it. A beginner might call both a “sweet” wine, but the depth of the flavor is night and day for anyone who’s had any experience. Or the difference between a structured Bordeaux vs an astringent mess of a red blend. Both would taste acidic to a new wine drinker.

The expensive vs cheap baijius are the same way. Try some Wuliangye or Fenjiu for a couple of different taste categories to see what you like. Avoid the cheap stuff as your subconscious will tell you it’s terrible even if you’re not tasting the difference upfront.

Before anyone replies to the editorialized headline, his argument (including the second part cited in the comments here) is that the charges were fair according to the law but constituted a minor crime in a way the law fails to discern, and this issue also happens to be his pet peeve. Which is probably true, but (also understandably for a legal scholar) doesn't touch one point: this was a political action and statement that tried to challenge the nature of this law, in the same way current shadow libraries also are.
The answers to these questions are exactly the same as for group theory or graph theory or linear algebra or any other such thing.

> Why do you say this?

> Yes, passing a message along to another network service is another step. But whether or not it is an additional "responsibility" is debatable I think. It depends on what your baseline is.

It's just my feeling based on my experience.

What if there are 15 services? Who decides where to route and why? I want to see how it would work in practice. That's why I asked for something more concrete than A, B, C, D. Maybe it would actually be easier and more straightforward, I don't know.

> There would be no net difference to pass a result forward compared to back to the caller.

For example, A knows it has called B, so if there is no response it knows that it has to handle an error, do a rollback and whatnot.

> There is nothing intrinsically wrong with using callbacks. Callback hell is a syntax problem with some languages.

Right, bad wording on my part. If it's A's responsibility to say where to route the result to D, is it also its responsibility say where to route the result of D? Would I have to specify the whole call chain? Do I pass the whole call chain to both B and C? That's what I meant.

What if the request didn't originate from A but from Ω? And B, C are also called to be routed to D by another service called by Ω in the chain sometimes. As stated in the article, D waits for B, C that originate from the same call, which is Ω. Now someone who maintains A is going to have very good time trying to debug that to understand why sometimes D is called with wrong values and then maybe even crashes or returns an error.

Neutrinos must exist to satisfy conservation of lepton number. Specifically, the weak interaction can change flavor. In beta decay (for example), a down quark changes into an up quark, which converts a neutron into a proton and emits an electron. Conservation of lepton number implies that another particle must also be emitted with the properties of a neutrino.
> Wish I knew more about these "thinking styles" you're talking about, because I've never met someone I couldn't communicate with (in English).

It is plausible that you are sufficiently smart and thus never (or at least rarely) had such problems.

To give an extreme example: when Grigori Perelman published his papers about his proof of the geometrization conjecture, even experts in his area had a lot of difficulties understanding his proof (and thus verifying the correctness of it). Only after multiple groups of mathematicians came up with better understandable versions of the central arguments of his proof, (see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Geometrization_co... and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Poincar%C3%A9_con... ), they became convinced of the correctness of Perelman's proof.

This was clearly a particularly marked example, but in a school pupils of very different IQs and thinking styles are present. So I wouldn't say that this problem (pupil not understanding another pupil's solution) is uncommon at schools.
