Yes, that's right. It's a Bayesian Game and you are attempting to reduce risk to an acceptable level (not under paying) while minimizing loss (not over paying tax) with only partial information (what the results of a lawsuit would determine).

There is nothing partisan about resistance to Trump. Resisting illegal acts causing damage yo the nation is not in any way partisan. I'm sure there are Republicans pushing for this as well.

This does work well. A team I was on at a past job did exactly this. On Unix the service literally ran `std::system("python config.py >config.json")` on startup.

The problem with this is that the answer to the question "what kind of configuration can I expect?" is "simulate the script and find out."

If the script is written well, and is short, then the parameters that are filled in by the runtime environment are apparent. Over time, though, there is a risk that the script will not remain written well, and it almost certainly won't remain short.
It's a nice idea, but pretty much useless without a pocket integration or an api to programmatically import content.
I hear that concern a lot, about younger code, but I think that misapprehends the situation. New code will bring new bugs, but only specific kinds of bugs have real market value. I think we're on a trajectory towards those marketable bugs having something like a vintage.

I see bounties as an engineering tool more than anything else. For the reason I provided upthread, I don't think it's likely that they're going to alter market dynamics. I don't have a really strong basis to claim this; it's just a conclusion I'm drawing from the incentives at play. I think the most important thing bounties do is mobilize people who would never work with a grey-market broker to do good vuln research work, I think the sums we're transacting in today are clearly enough to accomplish that, and regardless of whether you agree there, we both agree that those sums are set to increase.

This is nonsense and the person who was advocating for implementation-aware transpilation is completely wrong.

It is the role of a database engine implementation to service useful queries. Sometimes those queries are very complex; and yes, pipe syntax allows users to more easily write queries that can challenge database performance.

Yet this totally misses the point. Technologies like LookML have long allowed for extremely useful yet complicated queries to be executed by a database engine (often against one that is exceptional at complex analytical queries, like BigQuery) with high performance.

We should never handicap a SQL user’s ability to do what they want in the most ergonomic way. Transpilation largely allows for this — and I am 100% certain that implementations that allow for pipe syntax will effectively merely transform an AST with pipes to an existing kind of AST (this is, of course, effectively transpilation).

It is the job of the database engine, not the one querying (within reason) to performantly execute a query — and ditto for a pipe->non-pipe SQL transpiler. If you disagree with this, you are ignoring the fact that BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, and other optimized analytical databases are collectively worth billions, largely for their ability to performantly service crazy yet useful queries.
Should point out that "no bundling" has serious trade-offs. From https://vite.dev/guide/why.html#why-bundle-for-production

> Why Bundle for Production

> Even though native ESM is now widely supported, shipping unbundled ESM in production is still inefficient (even with HTTP/2) due to the additional network round trips caused by nested imports. To get the optimal loading performance in production, it is still better to bundle your code with tree-shaking, lazy-loading and common chunk splitting (for better caching).
Privacy Pass is an anonymous credential scheme that does exactly what you describe.
In general, yes. But in the case of obsessive stalkers, I've heard that the standard advice is to "go radio silence", because their pattern if you ever break down and reply is to think "now I know how many times I need to harass to get a reply" and increase their efforts to get through that count faster. So it ends up escalating exponentially.

Of course, ideally some authority should stop the harasser. But you probably don't want to wait until it gets severe enough for that to happen.
I don't want to take away from his brilliance, but generally Taylor approximations perform far worse than the standard library implementations. It's also the first tool of choice for physicists, so who knows ...?

My best friend died of pancreatic cancer at 41. By the time he received the diagnosis, it was too late. The cancer had metastasized so extensively that the surgeons could do nothing when they attempted to operate. What began as mild lower back pain led to a slow and agonizing death in just a few months.

You can split your searches with search engine shortcuts on the desktop, and the search engine quickbar on mobile.

When I still was on the starter plan, I used Kagi whenever I had a search that if I use google, I know I will:

- get a bunch of listicles and AI slop (Kagi downranks and bundles these)

- get a buch of AI images (again, Kagi clearly labels and downranks these)

- have to do multiple google searches for, but can instead use Quick Answer for

- will get a bunch of Reddit pre-translated results for

- technical / scientific questions, because of the sites I can uprank/downrank/block

I used google for things like:

- highest building in the world

- $bandname Wikipedia / Discogs

- name of thing I can't remember but have the approximate word for

MS Word works with styles in a very similar way, and the appropriate thing to do is modify the styles to match your use case. But Word does not necessarily enforce this, and so creates additional ad-hoc if you manually go in and change specific formatting. Luckily it is fairly easy to make a change like that and then find the real style and tell Word to update the style to match your selection.

They existed for a while, and as recently as a year or two ago there was a cheap LG 24" 4k that was only about $300. But I think the monitor market in general moved on to focus more on larger sizes, and "4k" became the new "HD" buzzword that meant most products weren't even going to try to go beyond that. So basically only Apple cared enough to go all the way to 5k for their 27" displays, and once everyone else was doing 4k 27" displays a 4k 24" display looked to the uninformed consumer like a strictly worse display.
> It's rare to see that a service you use actually does something that benefits the user rather that itself

The reason it's become so rare is most companies in this space (heck tons of tech companies period) have used a business model of offering a thing to one group of users and then turning around and selling the results of that thing to another group of users, where the latter group is the one actually driving your revenue. This by default almost assumes a hostility towards the former group because their interests will of course be at odds with the interests of the latter group.

What's refreshing about Kagi and other new tech companies is they have dumped this model in favor of having just one group that they serve and drive revenue from (ie. the 'old' model).
You could have a few built in options (like for domain filtering and customisation) for the privacy people. Could even be community sourced so there's no onus on Kagi itself.

So for example there could be a built in "developers" preset that might make domains useful to coding higher ranked (and down rank or block things like stack overflow clones). Etc etc.

Basically this could allow a smaller amount of customisation with less ability to identify a specific user.

I also use Orion and I do like the idea someone else had of integrating an option for Kagi Privacy mode into the "incognito" tabs specifically as an option!
Not really. Forceful taxation (by jail) to redistribute the money to states or national security is a boring topic, but redistribution of wealth to ‘for n in NATIONS’ is worth an intellectual challenge.

And even if you don’t care about taxation, why is the US running this entity and not supprting an international donation match to the UN? The US is running a deficit if you haven’t noticed, not a surplus.
While true, this is a bandaid and frankly a battle the common people will never win. Small, organized groups that have no morals will always win. There may be small victories (5 day work week) but they will eventually be eclipsed (nearly all households are dual income - the capital class ended up with 10 days worked a week per household instead of 7).

Americans need unity, and from that needs to come leaders who have a concept of noblesse oblige. We need rulers that care for their people and are judged by the state of their poorest. Unfortunately, America is far too diverse (both genetically and spiritually) for this to happen. Diverse democracies never succeed (there are many books on this - one was even on Obamas reading list). People will pattern match the solution to “facism”, “Hitler”, “tyranny” - reject it - and continue to live in a time of technological miracles worrying if they’ll be able to afford a place to sleep. The knee jerk rejection is exactly what the capital class has engineered to continue leeching off the rest of us.

We could unionize but what’s the point? Our leaders should love us and we should love them. And wealth gaps as large as they are are anything but love - they’re a moral failing.

I'm not saying that socialized systems are inferior to private ones, nor am I attributing things like specialist waitlines to socialized healthcare specifically. I'm pointing out that I think both criticisms to private or socialized healthcare fundamentally are more about how well-administered they are. I don't know if there's been a real analysis about the systems outside of their administrations, in which case both parties for either side can argue "well it's an issue of funding, not the system itself"...

No it isn't. You - fundamentally - don't get to control what people say to you. You need to filter how to take that. And that's incredibly hard. Especially in open source. You need to both be able to ignore (some version of "idiots, who can't be bothered to read") and be openminded enough to take weird requests, because they could be the starting point of a new major contributor. The second is optional, as long as you are happy just doing your thing, but then the former probably won't become a problem for you.

>"I can’t even check my CPU temperature” (yes, I seriously got that one"

Actually if this distro is my primary / only one I would like to be able to check CPU, GPU, etc. temperature. It is important to know if cooling is adequate or requires cleaning / repair.

When I first did remote working I suffered from motivation problems. I had days when I did nothing at all. It actually made me depressed.

But, that was also a failure of the company. They did not manage me well or even think about my productivity. I strongly suspect that I wouldn't have done anything much even if the role had been office based. The role and the company were simply poor and not a good fit for me.

These days I'm much more productive working from home than an office, but I'm in a place where what I do matters and I like that.

A bureaucracy results in controlling the payout of money. Once people's paychecks are tied to running or working in a bureaucratic system, it's hard to get rid of them. Mostly because they can show how many requests for cash were denied and the savings they achieved which were passed on to the taxpayer or to the stockholders.

A Fortune 500 company will find it easier to negotiate a good plan with easier money for it's employees typically, but a mom and pop shop doesn't have the negotiation power to make the insurance companies pay out.

It matters a little bit what he originally meant, but not a whole lot. What we mean with the fence is simply that you should do a bit of due diligence before making changes. That applies to all sorts of systems, government or IT, or anything else.
>And those who have the power to change this structure have NO incentive to do so… because they’re also rich.

And yet we did just that. FDR came AFTER the roaring 20s

All it takes is Americans willing to vote for someone who says "rich people shouldn't exist", but currently Americans seem ideologically opposed to that, and millions instead seem to subscribe to "rich people are the only ones able to accomplish anything" despite ample contrary evidence.

huh? this is simply a domain transfer. In a non-idiotic world, the actual entity in charge of VA data (i.e the Dept of V.A) is doing data due diligence. the other entity doesn't need to care about this. what makes the Dept Of Labor the arbiters of PHI of veterans? And, even if they happen to be, why can't the VA become their own arbiters? Why not offload that power to make things move faster? To me, a needless example of bureaucracy. I can already imagine certain govt workers wielding this fake power to slow everything down to ensure their own survival

As far as a search engine goes, Phind beats Goodle 10x times in programming topics.

Google Search is extremely dumb nowadays as it promotes ad-banner-ized results and Reddit-style drama posts. Those things have a close to zero value, but Google shows them in top results to earn money and imaginary "engagement". The trend is getting worse every year. I predict that one day AI assistants like Phind will smoke conventional search engines out of the water in every imaginable area.

Still, I hope the project remains going for the decades to come.
> Republicans, in modern US terms, want to privatize or remove any spending where the government gives things away to people for "free."

A private health system can work. There's nothing inherently bad about it. A private system with some subsidies for poor people can work fine.

The problem is that in our health system, the incentives are misaligned. There is no market for insurance policies outside the ACA, most people have no power to choose their insurance provider.

One easy fix is to prohibit employer-sponsored insurance entirely. At most, allow employers to provide vouchers that can be used only for healthcare purchase.
It's basically the same thing in western countries these days.
