"Small candidates", for US senate?

You're mixing up two issues. The need for oracles is a "hard problem" but it's not the problem in this case.

USDC has a central issuer that can freeze funds because that's the only way you can currently have an asset that "looks like" dollars on a crypto ledger. Someone gets a dollar, mints a unit of the bearer token, and pinky swears they'll redeem it. It's a systemic concern that calls into question the legitimacy of the system, but that's not an oracle.

This is wild, I had no idea Lean could be used for things like this.

Once you internalize it it's really not a problem. That's why I said "after a few rounds of this".

This is a viable approach for many scenarios. Uniffi is a tool/library from Mozilla that makes this a lot easier across platforms.

After a few rounds of this though it might end up seeming like it's not worth the hassle and it's easier to build the whole application in Rust.

I've totally written a phrase like this before.

And in this context, literally yes that's what it sounds like. The .ani file can contain multiple animation sequences that each have a name.

It has a wider feature set and is just generally easier to use. When I had to set up GHA I was constantly surprised with how hard some very basic things were that were trivial with GitLab CI.

GHA was based on Azure Actions, which was never intended as a CI system nor meant to be used in a context where actions could be malicious. So it's the wrong tool for the job that had to be adapted to fit another use case, straying from its original design principles to make it work.

Unfortunately the only way I can spend directly from my work-sponsored FSA account is if I download their app. I haven't, since I can still just submit receipts, but they won't send you a physical card.

Regardless of the probability that this cosmically unlikely occurrence naturally happened 8 times in a row, we all know what the privkeys are now so the certs can't be trusted anymore.

My understanding is that while dogs can understand words and put them together to understand basic (even novel) commands, they do not generally have a comprehension of syntax, which is an essential part of language. To them, a sentence is just a bag of concepts bundled together without structure.

Removing hate from a privately-run platform is not censorship. It just feels like censorship to reactionaries because their political beliefs are hateful and do not respect the categorical imperative.

You can flip through the pages of a book much faster than it'd take you to actually read them normally. But if you're putting the book in a scanner then you're still extracting information, faster than the "natural speed" of reading them.

It's not being played through a desktop audio stack, they're operating on the waveform decoded from the audio file. There's no constraints relative to the "natural speed" of the source, just like for video transcoding, it's limited by compute.
