I always liked fastapi and didn't have any problems, so your comment on issues made me check. Currently there are 16 open issues.

However, I believe (based on vague memories) that there used to be a ton of issues on the fastapi repo that were basically support requests. Going throw some closed issues, it seems that these were closed and/or converted to discussions.

I agree the design wasn't about representation, and does seem to have been designed with being able to kick people out being important, rather than representation (think about the fact that per the original constitution, the only federal office voted for by citizens was the House of Representatives). However, describing it as optimizing for concentration of power in comparison to British parliament seems to be incorrect (as others in this thread have pointed out). From my readings of The Federalist Papers, it seems more that they were trying to design a system which forced cooperation between its members instead of individuals with massive power. The executive is an individual, however, because actual execution is always better done with an individual on top. Of course, changes to the constitution and the world in the meantime have massively weakened the original design.

I can sorta believe that this was provided by lawyers without proper review, because writing this

> In the event that Zed pre-screens, refuses or removes any Content, you acknowledge that Zed will do so for Zed’s benefit, not yours.

is such an outrageous thing to write in the terms. On the other hand, claiming this is standard boilerplate strains credulity.

In any case, seeing this definitely colors how I see the rest of it.

I've found the bike lanes in NYC to be minimally helpful, and in some cases, I think the way they are is downright dangerous. I've seen where the car lane merges into where the bike lane is (and the bike lane at that point ceases to exist), and it's incredibly non obvious. To say nothing of the places where the bike lane is actually in the car lane the whole time anyway, and cars are meant to (swerve and) pass the bikes on the left (?!).

It sounded to me more like they figured out a more efficient way to do their "process" that was a whole lot cheaper.

Arguably, Mozilla's business model is built around getting people to switch to Firefox so they have leverage to make Google pay more for being the default search engine.

I shudder every time I see a thread related to this topic (child protective services making insane decisions with no oversight, because the law is vague enough to let them do so).

Sure, humans create the information for the model, but you seem to be implying that the responses themselves are actually written by people, which is not correct. And as mentioned in other comments, OpenAI is constantly trying to close the loopholes exploited by DAN.

I agree it isn't entirely separable. I assume that personality / self develops differently due to the "issue" identified in the study, and if it were "rectified", then it would no longer be a factor. That doesn't mean that you'd wake up the next day as a completely different person. Everyone changes over time, and the prior "self" is still there and you can still choose how to integrate the new "changes".

Of course, this is just my imagination, it may not actually be anything like that. But I will double down on the thrust of my original comment, which is that although autism is not simply a "disease" because the self has developed differently, doesn't necessarily mean that we want it to stay.

Sometimes I think I'd be quite happy to be "rectified" of ASD...

Whether it is correct or not to see it _entirely_ in a disease model (which it's not clear to me, how should the study have been done with a hybrid model?), I have to disagree with the suggestion it shouldn't be seen as an issue.

A comedic talk. I enjoyed it, but don't expect anything other than comedy!

Clarification please - where do you find "power in victimhood" in Judaism 2000+ years ago?

But what was really the question?

I think the intended point is not that there are grifters, but that growing up in an environment where there philosophy of "not being personally responsible" that SBF's mother wrote about, created conditions necessary for delusion and (leading to) crime in such scale.

I agree. And I'll point out that in the US 200 years ago, the only federal office directly voted on was house of representatives (not the senate, not the president).

Simple, because you aren't going to form a coalition with parties radically different than yours, you choose those that are mostly aligned with you. But now any party within the coalition, even a small one, can force the coalition to listen to them, because the alternative is to form a coalition with parties even more at odds.

Guido himself is involved in the faster-cpython project though (which is responsible for these performance improvements).

No, because you pay by the operation, but by the amount of data in that operation. S3 also has operations costs, but those are separate from the egress costs, which are throb the roof.

What is this response? Still no indication anyone has been contacted with the reason why it was removed, only that "in the future we will let you know if we remove something, sorry".

Who are the users if not the customers? And why do DSLs provide benefits to users, but not to customers?

Well to be fair, I don't think the Muslim calendar is _meant_ to have any solar correspondence anyway. But more importantly the holidays, is the use of the calendar in having a natural sense of time (that is, corresponding with the seasons / sun). Which is why most Islamic countries use the Gregorian calendar for civil purposes (or so claims Wikipedia, at least).

Arrays aren't efficient when you want to add/remove to the head. Deque in python exists so there is a data structure with constant time pop/push to the head. And it is in fact implemented as a doubly linked list, with various optimizations: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/v3.8.1/Modules/_colle....

Reading the FAQ, I get the impression that (while it is real) this was meant as joke :).

It's interesting you report this website issue, because I know some on the team working on the site are very diligent about testing on various devices. I've highlighted your comment in the SolidJS discord server's #website channel.

SolidJS is a framework at the abstraction level of react, vue, svelte, or marko, with an API that adopts certain philosophies from react. It is an entirely incompatible framework, however, and not just a drop in renderer (though easier to port to from react due to api similarities).

It's not clear to me from the README whether harbormaster will keep up to date with docker images in docker repositories as well. How does this work? Meaning to say, when there is a change to the repository, where do the new docker images come from?

Use case is when a repository requires compilation to build the docker image, and I don't want that happening on the production server.

I'm glad you find it useful. I see from your profile you work at Hasura, I imagine this kind of testing is critical for them.

Personally, I was interested in Synth from the perspective of generating large mock data sets for use in a data pipeline.

Hmm, you're probably right, that's a better definition of opinionated.

That said, I think it'd be really difficult to work around Elder.js' opinions.

It means that the framework makes certain choices and trade-offs, and doesn't allow the developer using it a choice in those matters.

Temporal NoSQL (XML/JSON, though relational data is theoretically possible as well) database called SirixDB, using a flavor of XQuery/JSONiq as a query language.

Dealing with the changes that occur to data over time can be complex. SirixDB simplifies it somewhat by recording the system time of every transaction. I'm actually writing a blog post to show some of the problems with changing data, and how SirixDB can be used to assist with the problem.

SirixDB also uses functionally persistent data structures to efficiently share data between revisions, preventing storage bloat.

I've been working (on and off) on the ecosystem/tooling for SirixDB for over a year now. I do almost all of the ecosystem work, and for the most part, there is only one dev on the core. While I think that SirixDB is at least feature ready, I don't think anything will ever come of the project. I wish the project would get some users though, that would be exciting :).
