In China in particular a smartphone is the primary means to interact with restaurant menus, place orders, and pay for many things. Rentable battery packs are also pretty ubiquitous. I once asked an in-law what happens if your phone complete

I actually mourn the loss of it. It felt so much better than any other accursed on-prem search solution I've seen since.

Credit where credit is due, you're right. I'll admit, I was very unimpressed with the Chiang family's rule in general and ascribed the success of Taiwan to them not being charge, which was not correct. Quoting from the end of

Los Angeles property tax website closes during parts of the year when they are updating who paid taxes. Last year IIRC they were closed for a few months, including if you wanted to get records of paid property tax for other times.

Taiwan is a democracy with 4 year elections. When Taiwan operated in one party rule under the Chiang family they did not make significant economic progress.

I think full scale collapse is unlikely. I'd rate balkanization / large scale internet disruptions as pretty likely to happen within the next few years due to a combination of: - lightly protected and globally reachable attack sur

Taken further - Art can be created as a response to seeing or experiencing suffering, but it is important to manage your own response to suffering. In On Writing, Stephen King has this lovely quote about his journey to get off of drugs: “Th

This is very clever and an interestingly adversarial (the unjust steal from the just) take on the quote that came to my mind: “The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, an

Never before have I read up on OIDs, SNMP, and then thought: Ah, I can apply this to the real world. If it works it works, but this is very funny to me.

Polanco, a neighborhood in Mexico City, has homes that sell for prices that you'd expect from Malibu, CA or Atherton.

Thanks for explaining the background of that. I agree that human readability can make things somewhat easier. The part about a binary format for the signatures confuses me a little - the signatures are going to be big no matter what. If you

I saw from the main page that you are aware of COSE (RFC 8152), with it's super similar name, but I didn't see anything in https://github.com/Cyphrme/CozeX/blob/master/coze_vs.md comparing it o

There's a few issues here. The dash version, 140-2 or 140-3 is the major version of the standard. You can only certify against -3 right now. Within the standard there are four level, 1 - 4 with 1 being the lowest and 4 being the highes

> Code coverage has absolutely nothing to do with code quality (in many cases, it's inversely proportional) I think this one keeps on being viewed as a % metric. You have 50% code coverage, 75%, 99.9%, 100%, etc. In that sense it is

As an Oauth2 hater, I consider this protocol cursed, mainly due to how hard it is to read through all the specs and have a useful understanding of what one should do with it. Reading the OIDC spec, where they define authN in terms of authZ,

In karpathy's defense, this actually seems great. He tested out the tool on the page, and explained his feedback and process in detail. He was explicit in the followup comment about it. This seems like a great demo example for trying o

What's so bad about these? Without any experience in riding motorcycles I would expect 2 in the back, in the front to be more stable, like riding a trike.

I'm guessing that because this is encrypting the files to be stored, this means that you cannot view the files via Git forge web UIs, cannot merge conflicting encrypted files, etc. Is that right?

You'll need to focus on asym and DH stuff. If your symmetric keys are 256 bits you should be fine there. The hope is that most of this should just be: Update to the latest version of openssl / openssh / golang-crypto / w

Amaro is fairly sweet. Malort is closer to Jagermesiter, but with a much more bitter flavor. I'd look into Becherovka if you want something a little more "zesty"

This is a really neat game. I love how you're showing that you can build fun small games on the web. I always toy with the idea of doing gamedev and seeing things like this are both fun and inspirational.

I'd argue that a closer analogy is I bought a laser based measuring device. I point it a distant point and it tells me the distance from the tip of the device to that point. Many people are excited that this tool will replace rulers an
