The spigot is too thin to fit a finger inside it, except for maybe the pinky finger, which is too short to reach the blocking part. Shining a light inside is also deceiving, because the blocking part is so far back, it might as well be the wall of the main pipe. The only way to realize there's a wall there, is to stick a screwdriver inside.
My wife has a "Dr Dennis Gross Red Light Mask" that has a setting for 650nm + 850nm red light. Supposed to help with aging or something but the specs match up perfectly.

Probably way too expensive for people to buy for this purpose(probably too expensive for skin care too, it's just a mask with red LED's, if I knew that's what she was buying I probably would've just made one. That's probably why she didn't tell me). Anyway, for anyone out there looking to buy a product, it's worth checking if your wife/gf already has something. Lots of products like this for anti aging as well as for hair growth

Public Key Infrastructure with Secure Shell
Some are using SSHFP DNS records nowadays, but it only is part of the solution and outsources the problem to a trusted (?) 3rd party.

It's quite surprising that SSH certs are not used much much more as they have been around 15 years with OpenSSH now.
This is all true. Like most people here I'm deeply, deeply in love with SQLite, but using it on the server is not worth it, exactly for the reasons listed in the post.

To paraphrase: a big part of the appeal of SQLite is that there's nothing to set up. But if one wants to use it in production then that advantage is gone.
>There is not much need for those trillions in return

Whilst you are correct that big tech cos do not need the return to survive, that's not how public markets work at all, and thus not how the incentives for those in charge of the companies work, and so making you actually wrong.

It's literally true, though. Cryptocurrency itself doesn't suddenly render contracts unenforceable or the ability to use courts etc to resolve conflicts. What hinders it is anonymity of the other party, but that's something that cryptocurrency merely enables; whether to engage with anonymous parties or not is still a choice. It does not preclude you from, say, suing Coinbase if they owe you some BTC.

And, conversely, if you try to pay with cash to some shady people in a parking lot, there's not much good you're going to get out of courts if they defraud you.

While the timeline is unclear; it seems likely that LLMs will obsolete precisely the skills that developers use to earn their income. I imagine a lot of them feel rather threatened by the rapid rate of progress.

Pointing out that it is already operating at junior dev quality and rapidly improving is unlikely to quiet the discontent.

Quite. I had a great Christmas break a couple years back going through all the missions. It has some edges to it but people have also implemented things like RISC-V in it so it's also quite complete. The game portion is enough for fun and exploration.

I got all the way to the final missions where you're writing your own assembly (that you created) to solve various programming puzzles. Only stopped because I got busy with something else and break was over. I def recommend it. Reminded me at the time of Code by Charles Petzold but applied.

There’s only 3 US states with a density higher than that (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Jersey) and an additional 2 US states of at least 220 people per sqkm (Maryland and Connecticut).

The US isn’t population dense enough for such transportation to make sense.

> In a comparison of electrical, optogenetic, and infrared neural stimulation, Roe et al. [14] found that all three approaches could in principal achieve such specificity. However, because brain tissue is conductive, it can be challenging to confine neuronal activation by traditional electrical stimulation to a single cortical column. In contrast, optogenetic stimulation can be applied with high spatial specificity (e.g. by delivering light via a 200um fiber optic apposed to the cortex) and with cell-type specificity (e.g. excitatory or inhibitory cells); however, optogenetics requires viral vectors and gene transduction procedures, making it less easy for human applications [15]. Over the last decade, infrared neural stimulation (INS), which is a pulsed heat-mediated approach, has provided an alternative method of neural activation. Because brain tissue is 75% water, infrared light delivered near peak absorption wavelengths (e.g. 1875 nm [16]) permits effective delivery of heat to the brain tissue. In particular, experimental and modelling studies [[17], [18], [19]] have shown that 1875 nm light (brief 0.5sec trains of 0.25msec pulses forming a bolus of heat) effectively achieves focal (submillimeter to millimeter sized) activation of neural tissue

Important to remember that work laptops typically install all sorts of crap spyware and fleet management software that causes the system to misbehave. That’s not as much on Apple although not protecting their brand against such software is on them.
It's typically illegal and possibly immoral to die by suicide, but again, as a matter of national security, it contributes to the collective good when insane persons fall by the wayside and lessen the harms and burdens for the proletariat, taxpayers and institutions. There are dozens of medications to help foment ideations and actual attempts of self-harm, so the patient benefits by staying out of courts and prisons and teenagers

The more cooperation that can be elicited from the mentally ill, in terms of becoming sicker, and medicated, and incapacitated or dead, the easier it becomes for citizens who support spouses and sane children, for citizens who work and pay taxes, for sane citizens who own property and generate revenue by leveraging assets, for free humans pumping iron, or those exercising the rights to liberty and the pursuit of happyness.

All of the above are increasingly threatened unless mentally ill humans stop procreating, and be removed from law-abiding democratic communities, and until then, controlled and supervised. An incapacitated patient won't leave home, won't start any fights, and won't disrupt a workplace or elementary schools, if the patient struggles for existence, barely able to prepare meals or get sufficient sleep.

The story is good. My experience, however, has been almost the exact opposite. It’s not that 90% is a no-brainer and 10% is fumbling around. It’s that 90% is fumbling around and 10% is no-brainer. In other words, how many people have worked on the same product across companies writing the same code stanzas over and over? Or how many people are solving the same problems project to project? Or if you are, then using the same tech stack/framework you did previously? I find it incredibly hard to estimate something when 90% of the time my honest answer is, “I’ve never built that before”.
The rise of video tutorials over written text kinda lets me think that's not a general problem but I've also always preferred written information over audio (in school, in uni, sometimes for talks - not so much for conversations, but even then I have trouble remembering details, compared to reading).
Really creative project! Love how you've transformed YouTube timestamps into a music sampler. The social sharing feature is particularly impressive - it turns the tool into a collaborative music-making platform.

I'm curious about a few technical aspects:
1. How do you handle YouTube video loading latency, especially at higher BPM?
2. Have you considered implementing multi-track functionality, using different YouTube videos as separate tracks?
3. Regarding the AWS free tier expiration, have you thought about using GitHub Pages + frontend caching to reduce server load?

As a suggestion, perhaps adding a "Featured Patterns" section showcasing the community's most popular rhythm patterns could help new users quickly discover the tool's potential.

> after 5 days in miami, let me tell ya — its 2%er pickings are slim.

If you're only accepting 1 in 50 people into your circle and you're a self-described introvert, how can you possibly judge how dense your "2%ers" are after only 5 days in a city? At that rate you'd have to judge 10 people a day for all 5 days to even expect better than even odds of finding a person you sort into the accepted bucket. Even if you met 100 people—20 per day—your odds are still only 86% of finding one 2%er. And if you're meeting that many new people per day while in Miami, I question whether you actually gave any one of them enough time to decide if they're a fit.

And I think this points to a larger problem with this whole concept: my "2%ers" are, as a rule, people I've already spent a lot of time with, and the causality there seems to go both ways. The more time I spend with someone the better I know them and generally the less energy it costs to be with them. On the flip side, I've never met someone who I feel energized being with after just one meeting.

If you go through life trying to swipe left and right on people with only brief interactions, you're going to find many fewer opportunities to click with people than if you go into each interaction actually wanting to make this one work.

> That is possible with things like pi, which have recursive formulas to compute, but it's not easy for arbitrary numbers.

It is possible for pretty much all the numbers you could care about. I'm not claiming it is possible for all real numbers though (notice my wording with "express" and "represent"). In fact since this creates an equivalence between real numbers and functions on natural numbers, and not all functions are computable, it follows that some real numbers are not representable because they correspond to non-computable functions. Those that are representable are instead called computable numbers.

So unless the discussion is taken more broadly and higher taxes are on the table, there really isn't a cost or subsidy imo.

That would be more work with the risk of things being misplaced because you'd need to figure out alignment. The font will also not be rendered the same way, adding some small imperfections. The SVG text is also more accessible.

Israel is a democracy. It also probably has nuclear weapons and doesn't need US support. However, without US support things would get much uglier.

Unfortunately, your type of thinking led to this. US involvement forced Israel to withdraw unilaterally from Gaza in 2005 and take a hands off stance as Hamas kept building up its base and digging tunnels. Had Israel stopped it back then we wouldn't have had Oct 7th and Palestinians might have taken the Israeli offer for statehood. People often confuse appeasement and peace, they are opposites.

Here's a concrete footing to start with; you might have to design and build some kind of a house on the go. And we don't have a washing machine either, we need to hash out at least thing for that, too." So, a lot of known unknown-unknowns and that's effectively what the whole profession is about.

I think the haste is probably down to a risk calculation. If practical quantum breaks of classical crypto don't materialise in the next 5-10 years, "all" that's happened is we've cycled onto a new cypher suite sooner than we otherwise would have.

The reverse picture, where they do and we haven't, is so colossally damaging that it doesn't matter if the probability of quantum breaks landing is actually quite small. In expected value terms we still come out ahead.

You don't need to assume that someone in an NSA lab has already demonstrated it for this to work out, and you don't need to assume that there is ever a practical quantum computer deployed for this stuff. All you need is for the probability to be above some small threshold (1%? 5%? I could believe something in that range) to make running for the exits the right move today.
