I'm not following your argument. What is this thing that URLs are which makes them public? For instance, I could argue "Fingerprints are not passwords, and they need to be treated as public, because of what they are" - beca

Are you claiming that the contents of emails are public? Which "random sites" see emails between sender and receiver? Yes, proxies and ad-injecting ISPs can see the contents of plaintext HTTP. But that's hardly a reason to sa

They are in fact private names, because they're unknown to the public. This is in fact an authentication system. Yes, the public could guess a 128-bit random value and log in - but that's no different from the ability of the pub

I think there's a reasonable insight in the article, though, that there are two different kinds of potential data set bias. One potential bias is, say, that a data set of loans shows that in a certain city, people born in one neighbo

The classic algorithm to solve the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_marriage_problem is a pretty straightforward and frankly introductory-level example of an algorithm which is not impartial (and not just because i

APIs get removed from Linux all the time. Off the top of my head, here's one: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/sysctl.2.html > This system call no longer exists on current kernels! See NOTES.

Chef is a configuration management system. It lets you define lists of things to do called "cookbooks" (analogous to Ansible "playbooks" etc.). To "converge" is to run something until it is stable. This termino

You put too much faith in Google. https://www.google.com/search?q=when+was+running+invented has been telling you the story of the 18th-century genius Thomas Running for years.

Why is that better than accepting payments in USD only, sending refunds in USD only, and converting some of the USD into BTC after you received it? The number of people who a) buy a Tesla b) in BTC c) and ask for a refund has got to be so s

Why does that involve accepting payments in Bitcoin instead of accepting payments in fiat and converting some amount of their choosing to Bitcoin after the payment has gone through?

I was inaccurate about my terminology, oops - you're right that "business logic" usually means "code inside the app," which isn't changing. What I mean is that the business context around the app have changed,

You can rise up against a government with weapons. You cannot rise up against a virus with weapons. Therefore, it is more important to take proactive measures against a malicious virus. Both can threaten life, liberty, and the pursuit of ha

I said "this," not "you." I believe that the decision you made is a problem for society. I am no more referring to people I disagree with as a problem than CSPI is referring to the public health officials as people as

Isn't most of the housing stock that is used as an investment property occupied, i.e., being rented out? Also, the flip side of the argument is that not building lots of housing doesn't necessarily mean that people aren't

You both raise an interesting point - the most common reason cited for not getting the vaccine is safety. People say that it hasn't been tested, that we don't know what it does, that people "shed the spike protein," et

While I don't think this necessarily affects the conclusions, this source is kind of brazenly ideologically-driven. From their home page https://cspicenter.org/ : > 3. Safetyism > The sacralization of physical

Technically yes, but practically, if someone can't get their job done without breaking rules, they're going to break the rules. If your goal is actual compliance with rules, giving people a way to comply is much more effective.

I'm guessing that the meaning of "General American English" has drifted over the years - it seems like Speak With Distinction is from 1942, when those sorts of pronunciations were common, and it would have been appropriate

If by "liquid U" you mean pronouncing /ju/, then no, GAE pronounces it "redooce" and "stoodent", not "redyooce" and "styoodent." From the article: > yod-dropping after alveolar

Well, I don't, but that doesn't seem like the right rule. I also certainly don't think that, say, genocide makes the speaker (whether Goebbels or a modern-day advocate) look good, but that hardly seems like a reason to perm

See the "Making Progress With PYTHONWARNINGS" section in the article posted - setting the environment variable PYTHONWARNINGS to a value mentioning the antigravity module causes it to be imported, even if there's no "imp

If you can influence arbitrary environment variables, you usually have a lot more options - you could set PYTHONHOME or PYTHONPATH (influence where Python finds imports), LD_LIBRARY_PATH (influence where shared libraries come from), PATH

by geofft 5y ago
To add to this - antigravity is part of the Python standard library, and you want to run the version that's shipped with your version of Python, not the version from the latest development build. Do "python3 -m antigravity".

This is so bizarre. The guy is posting literal Nazi propaganda - as in literally a document written by Goebbels, finds it removed from Facebook for violating community standards, and concludes that the reason must be that Facebook is sympa

In many locations they can. I paid my own lawyers to review a Google NYC job offer and they said, yes, Google can enforce this clause. (Obviously this is not legal advice, talk to your own layers, etc.)

Double-check your employment contract. The offer I received (and declined, primarily for other reasons but this was on the list) in 2017 clearly stated that it had to be unrelated to any of Google's work as a whole, and in fact to Go

Buy a real domain name and use that. It is probably cheaper than a single square foot of office space. (This can either be your normal domain name that you already have, using split DNS to make more things resolve on the internal network, o

Does every single network client on your network use your DNS server for name resolution? No DNS-over-HTTPS? No widgets configured to talk to public DNS servers? Also, does your DNS server correctly filter "out"-of-bailiwick respo
