The most iconic /i/ kit spread this way being Dangerous Kitten (https://web.archive.org/web/20120322025258/http://partyvan.i...)
>It seems to have a pretty extensive ecosystem but are the libraries mature?
If you're just doing API calls, file IO, simple networking, then it's more than you'll ever need. If I'm doing something obscure enough to have to worry 'is there a mature library for this in Racket?' I'll just use Python at that point.
This kinda makes sense - a bunch of underemployed, highly skilled devs are looking through job postings. So they make tools to make it easier, and then share those tools. But the "Who wants to be hired" threads are mostly searched through by recruiters who may not program at all, or might be busy with their current employment stuff.
So here is a tool to search candidates.
Sorry if the code sucks (actually I know for a fact that it does! The word 'if' is being used to minimize here), I'm a security engineer mainly, not a SWE. But if you file an issue I'll respond promptly and fix any bugs. Also, feel free to contribute directly via a PR!
I don't know anything about him other than what's in those wiki articles, just crazy how much he sounds like a right wing caricature of a leftist politician, to the extent it's hard to believe at first sight. He's living proof of Poe's Law.
I live in Mexico, I don't know if we're first world or not. We're kind of in between. We have bank accounts and debit cards here too. In the past when I wanted to send cash to the US or vice versa, I've used Western Union for the convenience - the local corner store (which in Mexico will be Oxxo or 711) has western union. When my family here in MX needs money, I just transfer it to their bank account via my bank's app.
I think many people in the US overestimate how privileged they are compared to most of the rest of the world, to be honest. I lived in the US when I was young but left because life felt easier here in MX.
Sorry for this kind of ambling response, I don't really disagree with anything you said, your perspective just piqued my interest :)
Too long, didn't listen: If you rob with a little ship, you're a "pirate", but if you steal with a big fleet, thou art "emperor".
1. Marlinspike is misspelled throughout the article as "Merlinspike" &
2. This article is super mamón. That's a word here in Mexico I'm not sure how to perfectly put into English, but here are some examples from the article:
>Open Whisper Systems led by Moxie Merlinspike, who is behind Signal, is and was never behind freedom.
>People died for freedom, they are still dying and struggling around the globe. Then someone comes and stomps over every ideal which human society ever build up until this point in history and proclaims themselves the world leader! Think about it!
I think in English I might say something like 'Oh please', or 'stop wanking yourself so hard'.
The core message of 'I would prefer a decentralized messaging service and Signal is lacking in that regard' is severely diminished by the suffocatingly wanky [I want to say mamón, whoever has a better word here please offer suggestions!] tone of this article
He addresses that (first-move advantage from white moving first) in the parenthesis after that same sentence:
"After extensive experimentation, they realize this: 50% of the time, the white player wins and 50% of the time, the black player wins (we'll ignore draws and any first-move advantage for the example). "
Cool, I didn't know about this! Too bad there doesn't seem to be a strong open source option, but I'll check this out.
But if you do notice such errors please let me know, so I can be less horrendously wrong next time :)
Reminds me of this snippet from Nietzsche's essay, The Tarantulas:
In all their lamentations soundeth vengeance, in all their eulogies is maleficence; and being judge seemeth to them bliss.
But thus do I counsel you, my friends: distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful!
Vimalakirti proceeds to chastise them for how useless their 'enlightenment' is when it doesn't help anyone in the real world, and is only a self centered quest to save one's ego from suffering.
>the project has been going since 2015
True, but Fuchsia started only a year later
>Fuchsia is a lot more than a microkernel, right?
Indeed, but that is also true of Redox!
The massive expansion and erosion of the meaning of interstate commerce didn't begin until Wickard v Filburn in 1942.
I ended up going on the repo and asking them to undelete it, which they did, but in that moment I was lucky waybackmachine had it. This is one of hundreds of times I've used it.
It's not vague at all. Private prisons lobby for mandatory minimums. Mandatory minimums remove sentencing power from the judge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandatory_sentencing
The older system you describe is called discretionary sentencing, it is a dissipating vestige of the era before private prisons.
After that, check out the video explaining how hidden services work.
If you want to see a simple implementation of an onion router, I built one in TypeScript: https://github.com/seisvelas/onion-router-ts
(be warned, I also did that as an exercise to learn more TypeScript. So it's not good TS. But improvements and issues are more than welcome from any TS gurus out there!)
