Depends on the state. The majority of states either have laws relating to disclosing known STDs or laws specifically about disclosing known HIV status, or both.

If you're building a native python application, there's no reason to adopt yet another technology.

A native python app in "Docker/Containers" is going to look like a dockerfile that includes a copy of the app and runs three commands. Either you build that on the server (what's the point) or use a registry (additional complexity for little benefit).

displaying language is full of corner cases. imagine having to render both english, japanese, and arabic in the same code paths, and inline with each other

text display code is not so simple as it seems, and don't fall into the trap of "how hard could it really be"

maybe future laws and policy will take into account the more-or-less finite supply of bitcoin. maybe.

my point is that there is no guarantee that bitcoin will receive favorable decisions. it's hard for the lay person to understand (why not just print more?) and if ever declared a currency-non-grata could actively be attacked in this way.

i should add that i have engaged in btc currency speculation and had a positive result. the long term value/health of btc is of great benefit to me. but, it would be foolish for me to assume that because it would good for it to be so that it will be so.

"Especially important for finite supplies like Bitcoin"

The law doesn't concern itself with the technical implementation of bitcoin. In addition, trackable and "tainted" money is dangerous for people to accept; bitcoin just makes it real easy to identify that.

I would expect that apache and lighttpd are hosted in their respective projects; linux is used to run linux.com servers, etc.

If Google is using GCP internally, then their infrastructure is as you said.

The GCP "best practices" sections in the docs* have been top tier in my experience and you can learn a lot, even if you're using AWS or Azure.

* my one complaint is that searching for the docs almost always ends you up on marketing pages, which you then have to find the docs link on.

People don't love XMPP for a lot of reasons. Some of those reasons apply to IoT. Some reasons, like having to maintain state, are IoT specific.

Besides that, bandwidth and code complexity is a very real concern. MQTT, a lightweight message passing protocol, has become the de facto default.

When the "good Desktop development framework" is primarily in javascript, it's a good signal.

Sometimes there's not something to fix or do, for example, in pthread-using code. "Just be really fucking careful or we'll all cry a lot."

As a developer, Electron's page shows their prowess in writing good front end code, which is really important. As someone who understands the basic concept of Electron, I want a product that demonstrates those competencies.

More than once, cutesy comments of frustration have led me to inspect something for side effects and avoid them.

This begins to fall apart in major cities without OSM volunteers ingesting city roadwork feeds. Of course, something like tomtom wouldn't represent that ideally either without a radio data or cell service...

Learn word. It's still best in class.

Or LibreOffice. Depending on the type of manuscript, Dryad or celtx.

Of course, I don't know your workflow.

It also means that they have trouble acquiring certain types of talent (reputation is free talent advertising).

In addition, having a few world conquerers around helps bring talent and money which is then turned into startups - there are a lot of great companies and non-profits that make SV what it is because some founder or early employee exited with retirement money and decided they wanted to apply their skills to helping society.

Not that's the norm, mind you, or that world-conquerers are amazing. Just, why having the occasional "big vision" around helps out.

In Steve Jobs' case, it was meant to instill confidence that he was in it for the long term - at the time, Apple was on death's doorstep.

He also had enough cash in the bank prior to re-joining that he didn't really need the money.

Please put the install links at the top.

It's required for the proprietary camera algorithm software. The camera still works.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. North Korea is under incredible sanctions, and South Korea's embracing of the free market is considered to be an economic miracle made possible only by multiple headwinds, and some solid good luck.

China can hardly be called a free market, by the way.

This has been a known issue in xbox 360 hardware since about 2010.

It just keeps popping up, someone finally thought to weaponize it.
