Name, history, and a better service. You're not paying for a brand name with XS4ALL but for the service.

Why would we care if it's only historic events? We'd have moved to another isp and not bothered with a petition.
Yes, just like they won the US election as well. Those guys sure are good at marketing considering the relatively minimal sums they spend.

I just started a new project in Vue (which is new to me), and was sad to discover Vue doesn't do TypeScript out of the box.

I definitely see the use case for TypeScript in my project, though: I'm dealing with lots of different types of data. It's useful to know what I've got in my hands.
I used to play Quake 1 on an xs4all server I found on Qspy from the US. Have not heard that name since the mid 90s.
Thank you, glad to hear it! I use Notion everyday and am a big fan.

Some of our politicians are not afraid to tell the truth.
According to that logic any Western tourist that visits Beijing and goes to Tiananmen Square, as I have, and doesn't wave about pro-democracy banners is 'making a conscious decision to endorse' Chinese censorship laws. So apparently I'm now a Communist shill?

Or are you saying that no foreign companies anywhere should do any business at all in China and no tourists should go there because doing so and obeying the laws is tantamount to taking personal responsibility for them?

By extension, I suppose this means that, by not breaking them, you are personally endorsing every law of the country in which you currently reside, or any countries you have or will ever visit?
Ok, You've made reasoned arguments and been downvoted, and for that I'm sorry.

I'm going to attack the core of your argument, but please understand that I'm not attacking you personally.

The EU has an executive body that is not directly elected, they are, however, elected.

They're elected by the representatives that you and I directly elect.

This is a stark contrast to the house of lords, who are truly unelected by any elected representative or even the public directly.

EU popularity is a bit stronger in central europe, even more so with brexit looming.

The thing is: the EU doesn't have PR of any sort, they're a transparent organisation but that makes it opaque for many people since the content isn't distilled- we rely on media to distill it for us.
The good news is that the information is always available and you're able to rebuff the media quite easily. That's why brexit lies are easy to debunk but impossible to get a platform for in the UK. (unless you're the guardian, but that is preaching to the choir as guardian readers tend to be pro-EU)

If the EU did have a PR campaign, it would be easy for the UK media to cry about how the EU is propagandizing using our tax money. And that would be true. So they're in a catch-22.

The _good_ thing about brexit for the rest of the EU, is that outside of the UK the media are picking up on _our_ media lies and spreading them. I live in Sweden so I get it fairly full blast. The benefits of being in the EU are incredibly evident from the outside.

I can't imagine the appetite for euroskepticism is at an all time high.

PS; the Yellow Jacket movement was about the rising cost of living and high taxation on things like fuel.

EU excise duties for member states is 3.5% on unleaded petrol.

FR excise duties for unleaded petrol is 64%.

UK excise duties for unleaded petrol is 55% (57.95p/l).

So, are frances problems the EU, or it's own government?

I ask the same question about the UK, we all know Rupert Murdoch owns most of the newspapers and routinely courts the UK Govt.

After decades of problems with seeding RNGs, why isn't there a electronic circuit that gets a seed from quantum noise or something like that? The circuit could be part of the CPU or support chips.

After all, amplifiers are always trying to increase the signal/noise, and the basis of the reliability of digital circuits is avoiding the noise. Instead, a circuit can amplify the noise and sample it.

Kevin Mallory: The churchgoing patriot who spied for China
Interesting post, I enjoyed reading it. I'm not exactly wowed by the screenshots they chose to use though, especially the one specifically selected to demonstrate reflections.
Yep, they also hosted game servers until ten years ago or so. Also IRC I think, maybe still do.
Are they exaggerated ? I am from a very small eastern european country in the central/eastern europe and we have had our share of organized crime in the 90s. Remember these groups have not had an access to a large rich market like the US of A and still managed to be very brutal.

Dissolving people in acid was common, having a dedicated mafia graveyards was also common. They had units of assassins that served as hitmen and were connected to the intelligence services. They had access to explosives, sniper rifles and even at some point were able to detonate the bombs remotely (remember this was in the 90s very early after the fall of the Iron Curtain and such devices were really uncommon).
I find 'any' useful as a temporary placeholder for third-party data while I figure out what I've got. I wouldn't mind if linters throw errors at it, though.
What got the devs to behave that way, just renaming? I'd wager one likely possibility is an architect made a decision on high for "and so now all will be TS, because TS is Good" without much internal support but enough political power to make it so, at least on paper. Of course things aren't going to go well in that case. Incrementalism isn't a benefit when there's not a broad desire to change to the new thing, it just adds to the mess. Such projects would be better served sticking with pure JS and making that better.
Do you think Apple sells their maps below cost, or that Apple is able (due to its scale?) to get significantly better deals than DDG could get?

This is wrong. It's perfectly possible to screenshot your netflix stream.
Please do. I have read your work and it is great. Anytime I am struggling with my projects/ideas...I always go back to your work and start from the fundamentals...carefully reviewing my work to see where it could be improved and how to better satisfy the needs of my customers.
It is not just a reskinned KPN service. Xs4all offers a lot of technical advantages (e.g. being able to configure the ISP-side firewall to allow port 25 access).

The problem is that the market of tech enthusiasts is very small. At the KPN-scale, it is financially probably more attractive to streamline operations and to lose a few tech enthusiast subscribers than to keep several separate operations.

That said, Xs4all gave KPN the moral higher ground, plus testing grounds for new technology.
Yes! And not only that, but the initial distribution was fair
That would imply that you actually deliver better service which really they don’t.
You might be right but honestly I'm too lazy to verify. We both agree on the fundamentals anyway

As bullies, tbh.

Reading the history of American foreign policy, it’s difficult to see it otherwise. It’s one long list of screwing other countries to serve the interests of the American people. That list contains a lot of bungled operations so the goals weren’t achieved some of the time. America has had 0 issues propping up brutal, venal, self-serving dictators if it meant benefit to America. Examples include Iran, Iraq, Cuba, Chile, Pakistan, Egypt, Afghanistan. These are the ones I can name off hand.

At the same time, American leaders are quick to get on their high horse talking about the values of democracy. Talk is cheap though.

Even after all that, our view of America dropped precipitously with the election of Donald Trump. I think it’s safe to say that a democracy elects people who embody the electorate. You know what Trump is like. That’s how we think of you (as a whole) right now. However, as a great man once said “some, I assume, are good people”.

If you’d like to learn more about the misadventures of America in the Middle East in particular check out The Silk Roads by Peter Frankopan. The last few chapters cover the 20th and 21st centuries.

Usually you define an interface for anything that you want to be overridable and provide some way for consumers to provide their own implementations. Then seal your own implementations.

Then you only need to design your interfaces in such a way that they can easily be implemented by composition.

This is the approach taken in ASP.Net and in WCF; although the latter does a really bad job at making their interfaces user friendly (for even tiny changes you have to re-implement a lot of functionality - which could have been avoided by better interface design).

The power supply is one of the trickier aspects of getting a working C64 rig, and it's not uncommon to spend as much on it, as on the C64 itself. You'll see a lot of "no power supply, untested" C64s on eBay because of it...in my experience those are all just actually dead (and maybe known to be dead by the seller, but the well-known problem with power supply availability gives them plausible deniability...but, maybe they also tried with a PS that kills the computer, which also happens sometimes with the original power supplies).

In short, necessity is the mother of invention and what not. The Commodore power supply was a unique beast, so there are no off-the-shelf replacements, so there's been an aftermarket for them for a long time and schematics of the old power supplies have also been available for ages, though having one that doesn't have a dangerous failure mode is an improvement.

"Slow days" are usually my most productives. It's in those days that I can take the time to step back, be creative and explore new paths. Going full speed and pre-planning everything is definitely harmful, and our current culture of doing things hyper-efficiently is most likely counterproductive.
1. I’ve made an outline of this Playbook on paper, works well to review it monthly/quarterly to refresh knowledge.

2. Many times I shared the Playbook, people failed to consume it.

3. Based on (1+2) idea: to make a short overview of the Playbook. Like those 3-minute hand-drawing YouTube videos. @sama could narrate one and make it as widespread as “Here’s to the crazy ones...” mp3 we all might have, narrated by Steve Jobs.
Composition is still an option, and arguably the default option. Sealing a class does not prevent anyone from extending the functionalities offered by a class.

The thing is, there was no talk of a deal before the referendum. The vote was simply Stay or Go, with the assumption being that we would simply fall back to WTO rules. All this talk of negotiating a deal came after the vote. In that sense, a No Deal Brexit is closer to what the people voted for than any deal. Contrary to "voters remorse", I know plenty of Brexit supporters who are celebrating the defeat of what they see as the governments attempt to undermine the terms of Brexit.
Living in Germany, I've found that OSM embeds in websites are more common for me now while browsing, and to be blunt: they're ugly.

The maps themselves are just difficult to visually parse, and unpleasant to look at compared to Google Maps and Apple Maps (which look comparably attractive at a glance). I dunno if that's solvable using a third party OSM service provider or not, but to me it seems like a good enough reason to switch.
> This is not the voter’s fault.

Yes it is. Asked "do you want to fundamentally change status quo in some random yet to be decided way that most experts warn you will result in chaos" population should have voted "no".

Population would have voted "no" if just a few more young people cared enough to get their asses to the voting booths.

The lessons from Brexit are the same as the lessons from Trump in USA, Kaczyński in Poland, Orban in Hungary:
1. vote
2. don't vote populists.
3. don't disregard warnings of experts.
4. don't buy conspiracy theories.
5. don't engage in witch hunts against minorities and don't vote people who do so.

It's not a lot to expect of people. It's the bare minimum if democracy is to work at all.

Cameron is at fault too, of course. Shouldn't have played with the fire. But some politicians will play with fire if there's a profit to be made and power to get. It's the voters who have to stop them, not the other way.
Sure but how many other species managed to invade every single other environment like humans managed? Not too many, which is why our impact is overexpressed.

The issue was the Docker daemon was affected due to poor resource configuration. It should run at a higher priority and with guaranteed resources so it can't be impacted by user mode tasks.

k8s has been slow to catch up in this area but finally has priorities and preemption. That said Docker normally doesn't run in a pod so it's also a matter of setting the node total allocatable CPU to something reasonable and ensuring all pods spawned by kubelet are nested under a namespace that has a lower priority than the system tasks (kubelet itself, Docker if you use it etc).
I also do not fundamentally understand their plan. According to the article they will short XRP, clone XRP, then somehow get people to switch from the now worthless XRP in to their coin which would somehow not be worthless, then they will give people that switch more coins while still keeping the value of their coin high. Sounds crazy expensive and crazy risky.
Someday, we will realize that it's too late. There only will be regrets. Meanwhile, we just have to ignore it and complain about stupid stuff. That's humankind.

You are grasping at straws at this point. TypeScript is not the end all and be all of programming languages. It tweaks Javascript to be a little bit more sane, that's all. The kinds of people that seek out this sort of thing probably know whether or not to enable "any", and did so for their configurations. Either decision paves the way towards a cleaner future; those that started from zero and had "any" disabled on day 1, or those that are cleaning up a large codebase and are slowly making progress cleaning it up. TypeScript lets you be either person and lets you make your own decision.

It is clear to someone with even cursory knowledge of Javascript and TypeScript what options are available in this regard. Whatever the default is, people can probably make the right decision for their application. It's not hard and it's not hidden.
You missed the part where they can simply borrow to catch up:

“One is that as Chinese technology converges on that of advanced countries, the room for rapid improvement through borrowing declines”

If you don't care about anything, you might as well have CGNAT. If you care, it's easy to see what XS4ALL does better: you don't get a locked down xperiabox, you get ipv6, you get good customer support, you get to set your reverse dns, you can set a carrier grade firewall if you want... I don't know how you can say that it's no different. It's different in the same way that a $4000 or a $400k car will both get you to your destination, but one has a lot more features than the other.
That's the chicken-and-egg issue.

Well, they did once force a Fritz!OS upgrade when I wasn't ready for it, even though I disabled the option that allowed them to do that. So they did have a kind of back door on that router at that time. Still a great deal though.

Am I understanding this correctly? He's dumping the game on 'Early Access' but isn't going to finish it? Hardly early access and more duping people, if I'm not mistaken?

I think you're poorly informed, or perhaps in denial about how far down the road we already are: [0] [1] [2]

It's essentially too late for your or my hypothetical descendants to have any effect on "the greater good". The IPCC says either we cut _worldwide_ CO2 emissions by 50% in the next 11 years, or it's game over for +1.5C scenarios: all coral reefs die, along with most of the fish, crop yields down 40% in some places, mass migration and resource wars are likely.

So basically I think it's too late for any "greater good" to come from my having kids, and I believe it's immoral to bring a life into a doomed world just to suffer.

Oh, so that wasn't just me! I also disabled isp management and automatic upgrades, but it was still upgraded. That was the update where they removed telnet access. When I called them, they claimed not to know of anything, so I assume it was AVM that pushed it. Probably the same thing would have happened if it would not be isp-issued.
Excellent marketing, at least!
I would agree that having sex is one of the strongest primal drives. However, a drive to have sex =/= a drive to have children. Can you provide a source that shows having children is a natural, inborn drive of humans?
