You just deal with it. Manually if need be, sending someone a spreadsheet. Not that hard, just a right pita.

Tbh the article's actual example is stupid, if I desperately need to rollback that change I'd just take a backup of that table and change the new types back to the main payment method, 'Stripe'. When we've got it fixed and redeploy the changes, change them back.

Problem solved in two SQL queries.

Not sure if the author's never had to deal with a problem like this before, but his 'impossible' problem's got a bloody obvious solution.

SELECT * INTO _paymentsbackup FROM payments WHERE PaymentType in (3, 4)

APL brings another couple of ternaries (besides for those mentioned with regards to J):

x f[k] y

This one is universal among traditional APLs (though some modern APLs, including J, remove it). However, it is traditionally only used for a concept of application along an axis of APL's multidimentional arrays, and only for a strictly limited set of built-in "operators". That said, GNU APL and NARS2000 both allow it on user-defined functions (which have infix syntax, just like "operators").

x n.f y

This is infix application of the function f from the namespace n, so n must have namespace value, but it is still a proper argument because n isn't just an identifier, but can also be an expression:

x (expression).f y

In fact, the expression can be an entire (multidimentional!) array of namespaces:

x (namespace1 namespace2).f y

is equivalent to

(x[1] namespace1.f y[1])(x[2] namespace2.f y[2])

Furthermore, f can be a built-in "operator" which appears to exist in every namespace, but which also takes the current namespace into consideration. For example, x⍳y is the position of y in x and if io0 is a namespace wherein indexing is 0-based and io1 is a namespace wherein indexing is 1-based, we can write:

'AX' 'BX' (ns0 ns1).⍳ 'X'

and get the result 1 2 because X is at position 1 in AX with 0-based indexing but at position 2 of BX with 1-based indexing. (I'm not saying you should write code like this, but you could.)
Perhaps it was a response to the Arecibo message, and the response was "quiet, they'll hear you".
People say this, but I always wonder if some rejiggering of the revenue allocation calculus might make it possible to keep chicken cheap while paying the workers a living wage. All you'd have to do is make a handful of executives very disappointed when they open the letter containing their tax bill - or when a federal law enforcement agent knocks on their door.

> Leisure time in adults has often been co-opted by "working a hustle"

They don't even need to wait for adulthood to experience this when they can be required to collect a certain number of book quiz points every week, thus mentally enshrining reading as as assignment / punishment and not something that's ever done for fun: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerated_Reader
I skated in the 80's and as I remember skating in the rain was pretty hard on the bearings. I would keep a beat up older board as a rain board.

Power slides were so much fun in the rain.
My battery ran out before I could delete. I had another sentence there at first about "unless you call respecting rights an obligation," but I took it out because I didn't want to make a mess. To me an obligation in this context means the thing which is created by a positive right. (IME when someone uses "obligation" for negative rights, it's often for a bad-faith argument relying on the vagueness of "rights" to score a rhetorical point.) The analogous but different thing that some would say arises from a negative right, to me, is properly described another way.

My right to life[0] can still exist without you being obligated not to murder me. It means that I am always justified in self-defense, so if you try to kill me, I'm allowed to kill you back. Except not always. But basically always. Except for the exceptions we can frame a million different ways. In practice, neither of our rights to life are absolute...and so on, down the rabbit hole.

[0] But wait: My natural right? My legal right? In terms of enforcement? Or in some vague sense that I "have" a right and those are words I get to say, and, uh, if you don't like it then I'll say them again? In practice, no one cares. People just say "rights" to mean "I'm right."

Talking about rights is fraught and frustrating and mostly pointless, and my comment wasn't worth writing, but there's nothing I can do about it now.

> Running I2P would require more storage than the status quo of not running it

I don't think it's significant. You might confuse I2P with Hyphanet (formerly Freenet), which is dedicated to anonymous storage.

> I don’t know how much overhead running I2P would be over and above running a tracker also?

The overhead will depend on whether you want to keep your tracker's IP hidden. If not, it should be minimal AFAIK.

How about it becomes a squeaky clean non-profit, gets classified as a digital public good and gets funded by the widest collection of public sector / ngo's.

We are talking about the literal window to the digital world, with potentially billions of users. Its a dysfunctional world that cant sort out funding for such a super-critical software piece and has let adtech have this charade and fig leaf of "browser competition" going on for so long.

A chromium based solution would double down on the monoculture. If anything now is the time to envision what a users-first browser should be like, not what adtech wants it to be. From wasm to fediverse and (dare I say) AI, its a good time to snap out of the stagnation.
(2022), effectively. Also, this is a very broad generalization; and people who aren't upgrading with every point release (even with a few releases' lag) probably have a reason for that. For example, I have multiple versions of Python compiled from source, but the system uses 3.10 because that's what my distro provides. (When I update, I'll get 3.12 automatically; but I understand from experience that the system Python is not suitable for development.)
> Uh, new housing has always been more expensive than older housing. That’s normal.

Yes, that's part of why the housing stock today is nicer than the housing stock 200 years ago: over time the average newly built home was always better than existing houses.
I'm not so sure about that. If your account has been banned, that's terminating your contract. It's no longer "your account" (if it ever was, but that's a rabbit hole I'll ignore here). Subverting access controls to do anything with it would be a clear CFAA violation because the fact that you were banned means that you no longer have permission to access the system.

The legally correct way to address throitallaway's problem is to sue EA to recover the money lost. In the US, this would likely qualify to be a small claims suit, which makes it feasible for a normal and nonwealthy person to do. Plus, when taking a large company to small claims court, the company often doesn't even bother to send a representative, in which case you win a default judgement. It's not an amount of money they really care about, and they know you still have to go to the effort to collect on the judgement.
I would love to have ranked choices as a voting system in France. It tends to promote moderate candidates but because it would change the outcome of elections so significantly it's probably almost impossible to set up (all parties that would lose from it would go all-in in opposing such a change).

Tech workers and Google leadership have both been very naive. Tech workers for believing that they can have influence within a company when it really matters, Company leadership for going along with it, and maybe even believing it by themselves at times.

Unless the CEO gets a mandate from the board and shareholders saying that It's OK to take financial hit because employer activism inside the firm is so important, it's all patronizing and empty talk.

There are only few ways employers can do political action inside a big company when labor laws are weak.

1. Quitting.
2. Unsanctioned agitation (getting fired if caught)
3. Sabotage (risking getting charged if caught)

The normal way is to act as a private citizen outside the company.

I’m introverted and shy and I go outside every day. I know it’s hard and I do it anyway because I believe the value of doing it is worth the effort.

> any tips on how to meet people, learn from them.

You are not going to like this answer because you already know it.

Go up to people and say hello, introduce yourself, and ask them a question about themselves. Get their contact information and follow up with them. If anyone asks you to do something with them (like dinner or coffee or whatever), say yes.

At some point you’ll meet an extrovert who will likely be willing and able to facilitate more of these connections for you.
> which to me is amazing that a semiconductor can handle that much.

i'm also equally amazed at how much <5v can accomplish. 3.3v is common, but I also think back to the old NTSC video signal was 1v peak-to-peak. Of course, that was just the signal and not the voltage driving the CRT, but still impressive. I've done my own hobby electronics ala Arduino type stuff, and detecting voltage drops in analog of <1v can be challenging to do accurately.
By waking itself, the task goes back to the scheduler queue. It then returns pending, going back to the scheduler where it picks a new task. It will eventually pick the scheduled task again and poll the rwlock. This is a loop, even if it's a long-winded one, and is by all accounts spinning.

It really is not much different to a thread blocking on a loop, where the OS thread scheduler will pre-empt the thread, rescheduling it for later. In this case it's an async task instead of a thread, and cooperative instead of preemptive, but it's still unfair and not very effective use of scheduler resources

> there is ample evidence that homelessness can be solved if there is sufficient political will to implement a structural solution

The unresolvable problem of homelessness is this: how do you house these people without concentrating poverty? The reason this is unresolvable is because if you build housing only for the homeless, that is by definition concentrating poverty. If you try to house them in multi-family housing, those who live there who work and pay taxes will move out, because unfortunately many of the homeless bring anti-social tendencies with them (and nobody wants to live next to a person addicted to drugs, even if they're on the path to recovery). This experiment happened in both the Netherlands[0] and in St. Louis[1].

This isn't an easy solution that just requires "political will". It's a very complicated problem that requires the study of incentives, mental health, economic factors, etc. (all mentioned in the original article).

> How do poor people on food stamps (EBT) in this crazy made up "store" place pay for (approved) food goods?

I suggested to give money to poor people. Not weird stamps and a list of approved goods in some approved store.

But yes, just like you can use money to buy food (a critical component of staying alive), rich or poor alike can also use money to buy internet access.

I'm not sure what your point is?

> I am right handed but would ride a skateboard the same way.

Yup was going to comment that I didn't know if left-handed were more likely to be goofy but back in my skateboarding days I definitely had right-handed friends who were goofy instead of regular.

> ... but it’s easier to keep my balance when my dominant foot is on the board

My daughter (who's not goofy but reglar), for a reason I don't understand, prefer to push with her front foot while keeping her back foot on the board. It's not how I told her.

> Every single Future you look at will look like this,

That's not true. A Future is supposed to schedule itself to be woken up again when it's ready. This Future schedules it to be woken immediately. Most runtimes, like Tokio, will put a Future that acts like this at the end of the run queue, so in practice it's not as egregious. However, it's unquestionably a spin lock, equivalent to back off with thread::yield.
Stance for board sports is nearly even, one analysis shows 56% regular vs 44% goofy [1]. It's not like handedness at all. Not sure why one was designated "normal" and the other "weird" when it's so close. My guess is that there was a very small group of skaters that came up with the name, and by chance most of them happened to be regular.

What other fields do you believe are not heavily constrained and are allowed to exercise their full expertise at a typical business?

My point is that nearly everybody feels constrained at work because of decisions from higher-ups or whatever. It’s not like software developers are some unique set of people who face challenges nobody else faces.

These watermarks are not robust to paraphrasing attacks: AUC ROC falls from 0.95 to 0.55 (barely better than guessing) for a 100 token passage.

The existing impossibility results imply that these attacks are essentially unavoidable (https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.04378) and not very costly, so this line of inquiry into LLM watermarking seems like a dead end.

Maybe some grid made of periodically anchored cables, covered in thin, transparent, polymer layers?

Stacked layers could be used to limit conducted heat loss, repair urgency, and layer thickness requirement (layers would see pressure difference, probably also important for permiability). At night, pull a thin IR reflective layer over that's some microns thick, that lives out in the zero pressure side, to limit radiated losses.

Once it's all going, maybe some bio plastic synthesis, to make plastics for repairs.

Income taxes make everything less straight forward, more risky, more costly, just harder. Small companies are incredibly disadvantaged. If most/all income taxation could be avoided, it potentially translates to incredible productivity gains.

What are the reasons to tax corporate income? The usual reason is so that it doesn't spend the money on executive wages, parties, and so on. The less public reason is so that it doesn't extract all money to a foreign corporation through license/patent fees (dividends are taxed more).

We can do so much more today with the computers we have than the primitive taxation schemes of 1980s Europe. We already have the infrastructure to audit corporate spending and investments - let's just keep using that to avoid the lavish parties and otherwise not serving the shareholders as efficiently as possible. Let's cap wages at 200k - if you want more, get some stock options and share the risk. Any out of country value transfer (money, gold, financial assets...) is taxed 50% (each individual gets an exemption up to 100k/year). Add a 5% inflation rate to discourage cash hoarding.

Now the fun stuff - let's use Land-Value Tax and Progressive Value Added Tax - VAT with progressive rate based on item class and price. Zero rate on basic needs in raw form + everyday items like hygiene. Everything is calculated automatically using the country's E-Cash Register system - absolutely zero bureaucracy, everything is clear upfront and there is no forward risk created by taxation. And it's super hard to avoid taxes when they won't give you the new Lambo unless you pay right there and now.

Most EU countries already have all of the infrastructure in place. Though this scheme would work best in a borderless, continent-wide European state.

I obviously can't speak for everyone, but I personally don't know anyone who strongly dislikes the US, and especially not US citizens.

The sentiment I personally hear when talking about the US (and, again, I don't speak for everyone) is more akin to the kind of sympathetic concern you might have for a friend who's become an alcoholic: It pains you to see them hurt themselves like that, but their temper flares when you suggest that maybe they drink just a little bit too much. But they can't be helped until they're ready to admit that they have a problem, unfortunately. So until then, all you can do is pray they don't crash when drunk driving.

If they go through the work of changing the version scheme, I think they should adopt SemVer instead. This CalVer thing is nice for human users for the tasks they listed, however SemVer holds the advantage for machine-run dependency compatibility management. And I'd argue version numbers in general are used more by people for compatibility than release scheduling.

Personally, it is more often that I look to version numbers to gauge compatibility, than any kind of temporal info.

I doubt that.

Thanks for reaching out! Just to be clear, from what I can tell, both PeerDB and Temporal are great (and I’ve been hoping to learn Temporal for a while). At some point I considered self-hosting PeerDB but my impression was that it required multiple nodes to run properly and so it wasn’t budget friendly - this is also based on your pricing plans with $250 being the cheapest which suggests that it’s not cheap to host it (I’m trying to minimize costs until I have more customers). Please correct me if I’m wrong! Can you give me an example of a budget friendly deployment, e.g. how many EC2 instances for PeerDB would I need for one of the smaller RDS instances?
