Heh, I just finished an AuxComm training and two IMS (Ontario’s version of ICS) courses last week. Great timing.

The Tor Browser automatically detects and offers to redirect you there. No need to memorize the onion domain.
Maybe there’s an alternative way to achieve what the author set out but increasing searchability at the cost of increasing brittleness isn’t it for me.
In this example:
const getTableName = (addressType: 'shipping' | 'billing') => { return `${addressType}_addresses` }
The input string and output are coupled. If you add string conditionals as the author did, you introduce the chance of a mismatch between the input and output.
const getTableName = (addressType: 'shipping' | 'billing') => { if (addressType === 'shipping') { return 'shipping_addresses' } if (addressType === 'billing') { return 'billing_addresses' } throw new TypeError('addressType must be billing or shipping') }
Similarly, flattening dictionaries for readability introduces the chance of a random typo making our lives hell. A single typo in the repetitions below will be awful.
{ "auth.login.title": "Login", "auth.login.emailLabel": "Email", "auth.login.passwordLabel": "Password", "auth.register.title": "Login", "auth.register.emailLabel": "Email", "auth.register.passwordLabel": "Password", }
Typos aren’t unlikely. In a codebase I work with, we have a perpetually open ticket about how ARTISTS is mistyped as ATRISTS in a similarly flat enum.
The issue can’t be solved easily because the enum is now copied across several codebases. But the ticket has a counter for the number of developers that independently discovered the bug and it’s in the mid two digits.
Seriously, I find the most interesting works self-published in people’s personal blogs and I often wonder if there’s a paper in there and why it didn’t make it into a paper.
Maybe there’s a paper in finding the largest repeating sequence in Pi. There have certainly been more niche papers than that.
I hate doing this, but the solution is to reduce the search space for poetry to find a compatible version.
Verbosely install with poetry (-vvv) and note the package it gets stuck on. Find the currently installed version from the lock file and specify it as the minimum in your pyproject.toml file.
The time to find a solution went from 2-4 hours to <90 seconds when I did this a few months ago for a large complex work project.
The next day, half of them will see you got the prediction correct. Of those, send a further half a prediction that it will go up, and the other half that it will go down.
After 7 total rounds you’ll have 16 people that have seen you consistently predict the market for 7 days.
Sell them your next prediction.
I want to learn about elliptic curve cryptography and post quantum crypto systems.
Why? How? It’s unreasonable to suddenly flip a switch and turn off your beliefs when you walk through a gate.
> Every 2 weeks your employer settles their debt to you. This is a transactional relationship.
Agreed but this doesn’t mean…
> If you choose to accept a paycheck, you have to accept the rules and regulations that come with working at that place.
…that you don’t have a say in your company. A company is the sum of the individuals that contribute to it. Some have more sway, especially in leadership, but that doesn’t mean folks can’t band together and influence their work place.
> If the company is doing something illegal, you are welcome to file a whistleblower complaint and take it up with the authorities.
Individual contributors have moral obligation that they are conscious of their contributions. Some groups drill this in: Doctors enforce this through the Hippocratic oath, Canadian engineers have the Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer.
However, I believe the obligation applies to everyone. Otherwise, imagine all the atrocities individuals can contribute to by just following orders[0].
I once joined a company after they ran out of backend engineers and had to restore a server from a backup. Figuring out how to bring all the services up based on history was a fun ride.
Plenty of ideas are abhorrent when they’re proposed but are obvious in hindsight. For example, Ignaz Semmelweis was ridiculed for proposing that surgeons wash their hands before surgery.
git config --global alias.wip '!git add . && git commit -m "WIP"'
It’ll be a new era when FedEx can give accurate delivery estimates. Last time I recall paying for next day delivery and wondering how my package will traverse all of Canada in that time. I then watched the delivery estimate update to “tomorrow” every day for a week until it finally delivered.
Anyone who ignores disproportionate, egregious civilian murders to explain their perspective that Israel is good makes a better case for a misinformed whatabouting propagandist.
That said, I genuinely don’t want this to be an Israel vs. Palestine conversation and more a conversation about why shouldn’t even “evil” theocracies have a right to defended themselves?
In this last conflict so far there’s been 1.4K Israelis killed while 23k Palestinians killed. It’s disproportionally high on the Palestinian side. The majority are civilians. I couldn’t care less why this is so: military bureaucracy? Racism? Dehumanization of the opponents? But the numbers clearly paint Israel as the country “run by terrorists who openly call for genocides and have shown they’re willing to go any mile to achieve their extremist delusions”.
Why is Iran any different?
