Did I lose chapters or is v1 horribly different? It was so psychologically defeating I was in a very weird malaise for a week.

Good use of tech. Hardest thing will be corrosion on the fabric electrodes. Muse S has much to teach if you haven't looked at them yet.

Aero-engineers: why can't we make airfoil kits to make certain vehicles 'air worthy'? A 10k addon to your current sedan to make it short take off and landing sounds way more fun than anything else.

I understand that weight on ground for stability is completely different than air travel... but why not create a whole class of vehicles around this premise?

The only one I can remember is the SkyCar from Moller. He was a little ahead of the game with petrol based quad motors.

How much should one trust RLS? Reading PostgREST, it looks like you could use a JWT parameter to enforce a policy - whether individual user or group based.

I really love the idea of RLS, but wonder at it's provable security properties.

CPC of $2500 isn't bad for the potential upside

Even if you have good enough insulation; you still have to dissipate the Peltier plates heat… which makes little believable sense to me without a hefty heat sink

I have good relationships with seafood and food distributors though have never thought battery powered cooling packing made sense here. What exactly am I missing? Even in vaccines this is a solved problem with fewer points of failure if you just add telemetry.

I'm thankful.

Congress skirted their duties for 40 years. This legislative / executive codependency then created a tightly connected and interdependent governance system, outside the purview of the judicial 'checks and balances.' This is why things like warrantless mass tapping and the Patriot Act became 'good law.'

We are unwinding decades of bad governance. This is a joyous occasion, along with the ACJ decision from last session.

Before anyone says there were still checks and balances - if you feel the need to, you have no idea what Cheveron meant

Yeah, I feel most invoicing forgets it can be both time and fixed cost // then also only cares about generating, rather than tracking the flow afterward.

Might be just me though?

Wait, so you compile a swift executable that’s callable from js? How would one distribute this client side in browser?

I’m not smart enough to understand this. I love swift, vapor and node individually, I don’t get it together

I’ve become old. If you look at these things in disgust (ACL vs Policies, Delete bucket with s3:*, etc), you’re missing the point of (deterministic ?) software. It does what it is written to do, faithfully, and error out when not. When it doesn’t do as written or as documented, then yes… go full bore.

Apple’s marketing tells us who they are proud to be. As someone who attempts to defend the AppStore fees and process as valuable, seeing this makes me question if Apple has gotten “too cool” to be a good steward.

So, while it may not feel like it to you, from those who have invested in the brand this is a betrayal and a real emotion.

Oh, and I get through the day just fine. It just reminds me to never relent on my values.

Even if 'no animals were harmed' in the making, as in they pulled some filming tricks... it's still a disturbing message. They once understood 'marketing is about values' // what a sad value they proclaimed today, destroy the essence for our entertainment.

@apple team: whomever approved your hydraulic press imagery forgot that "standing on the shoulders of giants" is an appreciation of, not a license to stomp on. words matter, images matter, it's how you tell us who you are.

All I'm thinking about is what will Square do now. None of the iPads fit their Square Stand... I loved having a general compute iOS device on the stand for other apps, I hope they don't make us get their dedicated terminal...

"I" I doubt would be allowed in the threat model unless you're someone notable like a patio11 or similar. Otherwise you're just as potentially compromised as the original threat

This is why I love imba.io so much, it has everything in one file.

js, html, css > all within the proper component context in a reasonable OO form (react fx can fx right off)

And, Imba global css classes are importable to other tags at the top level, no need to reimport, just .class-me
