Someone should explain to The Diplomat that diplomacy has no room for wishful thinking. Not a mention that Taiwan and TSMC might have a secret "what we will do if China takes over" department.
Howdy, neighbor! Am also an American expat living in Portugal. We've been living in Lisbon for about a year, and so far I really love it here. People are friendly, the vibe is relaxed, and life is peaceful with a glass of inexpensive wine never far away. Highly recommend anyone looking for an exit plan to consider sunny Portugal.
So far, there are no indications of the far-right gaining any amount of power with which they could govern. In a broader sense there have been a number of rightwing victories across Europe, but thus far Portugal (and Spain next door) don't look poised to join that trend.
I am Portuguese. You are delusional if you think the far right won't be in government soon.
Of course you are an American expat in Lisbon, so I assume you are living a life that's likely not very connected to local concerns. I assure you, Chega is growing like hell. I am not a supporter, I just see it.
Expats and the ballooning cost of housing is a part of it. The fact that you moved to Lisbon will have the victory of the far right here as a second order effect. Think about that.
I had the same impression. I have been suffering a lot lately about the future for engineers (not having work, etc), even habing anxiety when I read news about AI, but these comments make me feel better and relaxed.
This super unhelpful error is sometimes the result of trying to run an unsigned or developer signed binary on Apple Silicon. Try `xattr -d com.apple.quarantine program.app`, then open it by right clicking on the app, and selecting 'Open' while holding option + command.
Given the audience on HN, I think we can presume any readers of my comment are not trying to execute completely random untrusted binaries. There are legitimate cases when you need to do this to run a binary you trust, but the system doesn't.
I always run everything through virustotal first. (I should probably add that this is step two in my process: step one is to be very cautious and not download most things in the first place.)
The difficulty you'll face for mobile is users man-in-the-middling their own device to find your developer's API key, and then making their own POST requests to increment their credit balance. This is why platforms like the App Store offer the ability to validate receipts of transactions [1].
Probably something you'll need to grow support for if you want this to be a drop-in solution for mobile devs.
Very interesting point. Thanks for bringing this up.
Couple of questions: shouldn't my customers be taking care of this since I don't know their architecture? I think mobile devs can hugely benefit from Creduse, can you point me on how to support them for this scenario?
open to discuss via email if you prefer: francesco@creduse.com
If you’re intending for your API to be server to server then it’s not an issue. But that may limit uptake from mobile devs who may be looking for a more plug and play solution to dodge the need to build their own infra.
I intend it as server to server but you made me think about this specific case. I might have found a solution that bypass and solve the problem you are referring to but I need to deeply think about it. Not only needs to be secured the API Key (which is solved by the solution I have in mind), but also the content/payload of the request (otherwise the client would change the amount of credits).
Why would you use this on the frontend? anything that requires auth tokens should never be used on the front end, You would be using this on your own server
Totally agree. I understand his point but can’t do much unless I implement some very complex stuff specifically for mobile (and I’m not even sure it would work safely)
True, although the Fermi Paradox still sort of applies here, e.g., even if the galaxy were teeming with aliens zipping all over the galaxy in their warp-capable spacecraft, the odds of them charting a course right past our fairly uninteresting solar system seem low.
This is likely not helped by the fact that we are more than halfway out to the edge of the galaxy, in one of the Milky Way's spiral arms; since we're not near the galactic centre, there are less possible travel paths that pass by us (if we just assume arbitrary random travel between any two points.)
So even if it is happening right now in abundance, and even if we can detect its occurrence, are any of those paths close enough to us to be detected?
Yes, it wasn't a thing in the US, but basically all televisions in Europe had a text mode for this, and it was very popular when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s.
US televisions didn't have support for the blanking interval data and GUI, and it never got added to the NTSC standards.
For a brief period in the 1980s a few companies tried to provide teletext service, either over modem or a UHF decoder to a home computer or - more bizarrely - as a read-only presentation done overnight when no other scheduled programming was being shown.
