News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Wow that playground looks awesome, is it open source? It really makes sense to have these graphs and trees, makes it way easier to understand.

Nice work there!

This is tracked here: https://github.com/ory/keto/issues/319

Basically the idea is to check the attributes before actually forwarding the request to Keto. That could be done through e.g. a OPA integration. This can scale much better IMO than just doing everything in OPA.

We tried to follow as close as possible, but left out all optimizations and cluster inter-node messaging for now. The data structures and APIs are followed 1:1. In some places it was hard to follow the paper as they leave out important details, but you probably experienced that as well ;)

Your APIs look quite compatible, as you probably also stayed very close to the paper.

Just had a good 2h read on internet history.

The comments on LWN are just hilarious.

> I'm going to submit a PEP to add a kitchen sink to Python.

I personally would opt for the sink with the snake, as it is more Pythonic, despite not being the nicest and cleanest solution (is that a Pythonic property as well?).

I also don't quite get why you would ditch files/directories which are just a way of organizing data. You still have to organize them if everything is in main memory. Also, sharing data between programs has to be possible somehow. You will need some kind of reference/pointer to the data you talk about. Why are directories, files, and paths such a bad idea for that?

Wow this is just unacceptable.

> The Problem - Migrants (slide two in the gallery on the landing page)

You know that this is an important topic because "ZDF (former Neo) Magazin Royal" is behind that. They are an kind of investigative satire format, unfortunately topics like these are not too funny... But very good work from their side.

Frontex was always suspected and accused for not following any EU moral and legal processes, this is just a proof and absolutely unacceptable.

I would actually be surprised if humans would not adapt to the environment just like any other animal. Why should we be special and any different in the first place?

In my opinion the AI should just be treated as another human. You would also supervise your support staff to not write racist answers, or double check some important work. The nice thing here is that you can easily monitor the AI, while humans need protection from arbitrary monitoring.

In the end the question is whether we as an errant species can produce something that is always correct, or whether we should tolerate an AI to make mistakes just as we tolerate with one another.

Re:Solid Project: All of your data, under your control on Monday February 01, 2021 @04:13PM (#25994036)
I think the problem there is that there is not much to show. But it will require that page at some point. Maybe it would help now as well as managers and other "decision makers" might understand it more. And they have to implement it in the end right?
Re:Unbroken Enigma Message on Monday February 01, 2021 @04:08PM (#25993979)
That's what I first thought as well... But I guess the machines themselves were accurate enough. I mean, if that could happen it would have happened on a daly basis.

It would actually make sense to have linter rules in javascript to report impure functions and avoid them as much as possible. But as the article said, JS is kinda broken already as you can have proxies and stuff that possibly adds side effects to the most basic expressions.
