Would this break the New World Order?

This is really interesting, maybe this will set a precedent for the creation of tech companies in the developing world. The Developed World have a clear plan: they will own all the "intellectual property" and use the cheap work in developing countries. It is not a problem if the same company produces all brands of printers. If it starts to sell a print itself, it will be sued to death.

The world is completely ordered: high value jobs for the rich, low value for the poor. We don't need brute force imperialism anymore.

If Xiaomi builds a rift in this structure, it may pave a way for other companies/countries around the world.
This feature has its place in some cases. For example, a public terminal that wants to make sure that users didn't leave anything running. I'm fine with this feature existing. I'm not okay with it becoming the default option. Changing the default behavior implies some endorsement of it for general use, not just in special cases.
There's nothing new about this, and nothing unique to the UK. Rich and powerful people tend to use their wealth and power to protect their wealth and power. And London has a lot of people with a lot of wealth and power.

The banking system is where most of the world's wealth resides, and since the London banking system dominates most of the global financial system, a lot of dodgy dealings happen in London. If you move it to the jungles of deepest darkest Peru, then the deepest darkest jungles of Peru will become corrupt.

I'm as disappointed as anyone about the cesspool of immorality that is modern finance, but David Cameron passing a few laws or conducting some kind of investigation is not going to change human nature. These are essentially the same problems that the Ancient Romans and Greeks complained about.

What does being special or not matter, where did that come from? Violence is violence. It may or may not be morally justifiable. Justifiable violence is still violence.

Is the issue that you think violence only occurs when it's somehow immoral by some code? Hitting someone is violent regardless of the reason why. Applying verbal and emotional force in a way that causes someone distress is violence regardless of the reason why.

Nothing in my posts says that violence itself is inherently wrong. It's a thing, the reason and effect in the situation it occurs determine the rightness or wrongness of the act. Scolding a child can cause temporary distress. This is violence though possibly necessary and right. Telling a child they're worthless repeatedly is violence and also wrong.

Volunteering for violence also doesn't make it not violent. It's still violent. It just changes the calculus on the morality of it.

Git in its current form is usually not a pure DVCS though; everyone has a "canonical" repo somewhere, be it a buildbot or github/gitlab. If Git supported synchronised "lock flags", people would just need to make sure they pull from their canonical repo before trying to edit binary files. You should be able to mark specific files or directories as "lockable".

As it is, you could implement this sort of workflow manually or via an extension, pushing a special file before one starts working on binary assets ("git binedit" ?). It would pollute the commit log a bit, which is why it would be better if it were a native feature, but imho it could be done.
Isn't it part of the point with basic income in that it doesn't disappear if you have a job?

The choices would be "basic income" vs "minimum wage + basic income".

There is also the fact that there is no inherent reason why toilet washers should have minimum wage. It's exactly because of economic uncertainty among the lower class that they can be coerced into accepting such sub-par situations such as doing an undesired job at low wage, when it's more logical that an undesired job should offer more pay than a desirable job.

> not going to change human nature

I dislike this kind of argument. Sometimes you see it trotted out regarding crime, and that it's impossible to e.g. stop people killing or burgling or thieving in general.

Except - we're doing a pretty good job of reducing such crimes.

It's easy to write off pretty much well any undesirable action as being "human nature" and I implore you to reconsider.

n-word -> nigger and f-word -> fuck I understand, but what is the w-word?

I really don't get this obsession over hiding the existence of these words. They obviously don't exist in isolation and are a symptom of a different problem. Perhaps by hiding them people seek to pretend the world has solved these problems?

On top of that, their usage as negative words is only propagated by these shortenings. Words like nigger had (and still do have) neutral and positive connotations [0].

Language is something I deeply believe in, and try to use accurately. People controlling which words I can and can't say really, really, upsets me at level I can't quite find the words express.

One major disadvantage that you can't easily remove the storage media for secure erase. Instead of removing the hard drive and destroying it, then selling/giving away the rest of the PC, companies would probably opt for destroying the entire PC.

If the controller fails, with existing "discrete" SSDs you can still desolder the flash chips directly, put them in a reader, and recover the data that way (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8133450 ) With this integrated "SSD", it could be nearly impossible to read the raw flash, meaning no more data recovery beyond the logical level. It's basically like an SD card.

less chance of mechanical failure

The widespread problem with RoHS lead-free solder and cracking balls disagrees, as also evidenced by the large amount of reflow/reballing services and the fact that reliability-critical applications like aerospace still use leaded solder and more expensive solder columns instead of balls.
> Well, the solution to that is to maintain branches of your code for each major version change and to only introduce breakages in major versions.

That is what is being done. Versioning is GCC style, "[major].[minor].[bugfix]". When APi breaking changes occur, a new major release is published, and is begins a new line of releases. When non-API breaking changes are made (or backported), a minor release occurs on all previous lines. Bugfix release can occur on previous lines.

So there's 6.0.0, then 6.1.0, and then a few months later 6.0.1 and 6.1.1 came out, with the same bug fix for both releases.

> Because your current method means that your library will never delete old code

Right. That is intentional. The idea is that when a new release is made, there is no change whatsoever in previous versions of the library which are in already in use.

> if you slightly change a basic function shared by different library versions what will you do then?

There are no shared functions, the library is stand-alone.

> If you did major versioning right

It would still require change in the binary being used by application, right? it would mean change, and that means revalidation - the only way it would not mean revalidation is if the application owner decided "what the hell, I'm sure he's got it right and there are no new bugs and it'll all be okay".

Anyway, you must alao remember the library targets bare metal platforms on arbitrary compilers. As it is for example the library is for example wholly independent of the standard library - it doens't even require a freestanding implementation. Symbol versioning is a luxury, high-end, rarely provided functionality. If the library relied on it, it would greatly limit the range of supported platforms.

> Alternatively, you could allow users to set a macro before including your headers. This macro sets the version of the library they want to use. Then you don't require people to specify the version in every single symbol.

That would defeat the very goal being aimed for. The idea is that existing code does not change when a new version of the library si released. The idea that when a new version is release, that all existing code should automatically use that new version, is to be avoided. You are trying to find ways in which it can happen, when that's the very thing which I'm trying to have not happen. That change should be controlled, should be consciously and deliberately chosen at a particular time, and to whatever extent is decided, by the maintainer of the application using the library.

Consider. Say an application is using the queue from 7.0.0 in say six different places. The code works. Why change it? but then there's a performance problem. One of those queues would really benefit from going faster. In this situation, why change all of the queues? those queues could be in completely different sub-components of the overall ssytem. When you update one of those queues, you have to revalidate that part of the system. You don't want to do it - you have limited developer resources, a to-do list the length of your arm and customers screaming for new features and other bugfixes.
You missed out the first half of my sentence:

> David Cameron passing a few laws or conducting some kind of investigation is not going to change human nature

I agree that change is possible, but it's not going to come from the top. We the people need to push for that kind of change, but half the population is too busy repeating the establishment's line that "it's all the fault of immigrants".

Rust has unsized (aka dynamically-sized) types, trait objects and slices are probably the most commonly encountered DSTs.

There are two main limitations to them:

* by default most generic code can not operate over them, generics require the special `?Sized` bound to allow DSTs (essentially generics have a default Sized generic bound)

* Rust doesn't currently support dynamic stack allocation so DSTs can't be stack-allocated (https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/618)
Six Reasons Why Your External Drive May Get Slow
Just one guys opinion...

I think a CMS is pretty boring unless it fits into your personal story/narrative.

__WHY__ did you create this CMS? What was lacking in the current offering and prompted you to tackle this problem? Perhaps it is industry/vertical/niche specific? Have you been charging for it? Without that part your are just another guy with another half-baked CMS.

Rather, it is much more interesting to see people go deep on their own interests, pursuits and passions, which (sometimes) lead to something with a broader appeal. Even if they don't, it still much more interesting.

The thing is, a lot of git commands are really, really subtle. And almost all of them don't do what you usually want without a couple of switches.

Personally, I'm more of a fan of darcs. It has a really good UI - defaulting to interactive use where it shows you what you're actually doing - and instead of branches you just clone into another folder, reducing a lot of cognitive load around them. It integrates with email as a primary use case - if you have a mailing list and an email client, you have a pretty good replacement for github pull requests.
