I personally use Freedome to get around geo-based blocking or when using open Wi-Fis.

I also have a self-hosted OpenVPN-server running at home, which I occasionally use for open Wi-Fi networks or getting around content blocking on some networks.

For day-to-day usage, I don't use a VPN. I place some trust on my ISP (both mobile and wired) to carry my traffic.
Here is an excellent talk on this subject[0]. It's one of the few presentations I like to watch every once in a while.

I doubt it.

If you start writting a C++ process first, you will take a lot of time.

Python allow you to have a good idea of how the thing works. And if, eventually, you find out that it's not fast enough (even with pypy, numpy, a few lines of cython, etc), you may rewrite it in C++. But the rewrite is going to be much, much faster to do, because you know now what's up, and can just translate it to C++ and focus on its gotchas.
Avira Phantom and ProtonVPN

Being a software engineer in Flanders (the Belgian region the article author is from) I can tell you that this is a misconception.

Our taxes in Belgium are high, the salaries for engineers are well above average. In pratice, it's possible to end up in different tax 'scales', but they'll not end up in a net loss.

I'm also hugely in favour of the system here. Health care is a non-issue. I need prescription glasses (dioptry -8.5) and I pay nothing for those.

Yearly dentist appointment? about 20 euro you end up paying after the 'mutualiteit' pays you back. Similar for doctors appointments or hospital appointments.

Being married with a Mexican (family living in the US) I can tell you that I hugely prefer our system over the US or Mexican system.
The more I read of psychiatry makes me lean towards the majority of it being pseudoscience. Finances play the most important role in suicidal ideation but nothing is ever done for the people suffering from suicide attempts besides placing them in a facility for an extended period and medicating them. Some of the drugs have even been shown to induce gambling. How in the world does someone escape a life where all the cards are dealt against them is unknown to me. In this world you spend more money when poor to live healthy than if starting out rich and it’s harder to save or increase your holdings while poor. Stress is definitely the deciding factor in if a person can stay happy and happiness is the only factor to really care about; besides physical health but they come hand in hand. I think the field is improving but I have a bias by living in a progressive city where the old beliefs are highly questioned and rarely followed. I think psychiatry will go down in history next to the holocaust. Too many people were ruined compared to being helped.

>makes things way less understandable than without type annotations

Strange proposition. No dev I know who has professionally worked with both would claim the same, even the skeptics long term ended up grokking types as a way to make it easier to understand the intent behind a piece of code, even when they prefer JS for writing, never for reading other people's code.

How long have you worked with each? What editor tools have you used for TS? I'm really curious about your experience.
> this encourages people to destroy these kinds of things whenever they find them on their land.

Totally this.

My former boss owned an old farm house in Italy. He told me that all the neighbours were really worried about digging in their backyards and finding stuff from the Romans.

A neighbour tried to build a house once, the excavator started digging and "old stuff" came up. Somebody told the local police because they were not sure if it was important and immediately the construction site was shut down until the government started to investigate this lot.

Investigations took several years and no compensation was paid.

Since then, it's an unwritten agreement that nobody calls the police when something comes up and the excavator just crashes everything...

Vitamin D is something we can measure and often serves as an indicator, but large scale tests have shown limited effectiveness of supplements at resolving the issues a Vitamin D deficiency causes. e.g. We increase blood Vitamin D, but there are unknown correlative mechanisms that we aren't substituting.

File and folder names can't be longer than 255 UTF-8 code units in Linux, which means they can contain 255 US-ASCII characters, but only 127 Cyrillic characters, 85 Chinese characters, or 63 emoji. In Windows it's different, because file names can contain up to 255 UTF-16 code units. This is 255 characters in almost every language (but only 127 emoji.) So, if you create a file name with 100 Chinese characters in Windows, you can't transfer it to Linux (or upload it to a Linux web server, for example.)

Windows, on the other hand, has problems when the full path to the file (eg. C:\folder\file) is more than 259 UTF-16 code units, but it's getting better at this, and newer Windows apps normally handle longer paths just fine.

> Isn't GMO to create foods that require less pesticides?

That depends entirely on the kind of GMO. GMOs don't exist for any particular single purpose. Some GMOs exist to make it easier to use pesticides. Some GMOs contain pesticides.

Some GMOs have nothing to do with pesticides but add nutritional value. For example, Golden Rice, which has beta-carotene added to increase the vitamin-A intake of the hundreds of millions of people who subsist mainly on rice, generally gets mentioned as the one GMO that's completely positive with no discernible downside: it doesn't mess with ecosystems in any way, beta-carotene is already common in many plants, it doesn't do anything pesticide-related, and it makes people healthier.
Thanks. The images in the other story were broken, and honestly I expected to see something different :)
I agree that food doesn’t have enough vitamin D, but supplements really made the difference for me. Just get the right dosage (which is probably higher that you think).
Anyone has experience with multi-hop VPNs?
My question was: "Why does it block UVB?".

Found the answer on Quora: https://www.quora.com/Why-does-glass-block-UV

"With a band gap of 4eV, glass can't absorb any photons with less energy than UVB light; namely, it is transparent to UVA, visible light, infared, etc; but the higher energy photons can and are highly likely to be absorbed."

So it seems hard to create glass that doesn't block UVB.

Maybe the intelligence behind the design was to make something that works, instead of something perfect? Isn't that better, after all?
(Also is there even any indication anywhere that a perfect thing is possible at all, whether be by design or a result of random chaotic process?)
(again, not saying whether the design might be intelligent or not, just that the argument is not really logical concerning that).

Looked into the Unu for my father, but as he is nearing retirement, the old petrol scooter will probably be good for another two or three years.

Sure, I've actually got nothing against rich people or even the idea of super rich people.
But the whole system is set up in such a way that if you're wealthy you own the world and have to actively screw up to not get wealthier. The system just needs a tiny self-correction mechanism.

And the problem with immense wealth is not raising inflation or anything like that, that is market stuff that will correct itself.
The problem is buying your way into policy control, and people/corporations that are so powerful that not even the law dares touch them.
somewhat related: if you've ever been playing with a dog (of the pet variety, not the wild variety hopefully) and they've sneezed, that's a social signal to show that the wrestling/fighting is playful and not malicious to prevent escalation.

"3D" phones seem to be making a comeback lately, if only in niche brands - see RED and Rokit. They claim to have made huge advances on 3D screens since the Evo era, and I imagine higher resolution and refresh rate would help.but reviews are that it's still pretty disappointing. Even if the effect was perfect I'm not sure it's something I'd care for on a phone.

Yes, C has that too. It has different namespaces for struct, union, and enum. And I like the clarity of the explicit namespace prefixes at each place of reference. But I tend to not rely on that distinction, since C++ has only a single namespace.

And as soon as we go to more dynamic languages, where types can also be variables, it all breaks down.
Just an anecdotal report. Not even a case study. Worthless information.
A similar fact is that photochromic lenses will not work in cars, i.e. when you're looking at the world through the windshield. The photochemistry in them is triggered by UV rays. It's another thing that should be common knowledge, but isn't.
None for private use. The benefits are negligible, and directly SSHing into the home box is secure enough. My mobile ISP is much more reliable than any of these third party VPN providers whose customer base mainly consists of the uninformed public.

At work, I'm running whatever the customer requires us to use. I've got clients from four different vendors plus an in-house SSH-and-Bash contraption running on my workstation.

I understand that calling it a concentration camp is just a way of getting the necessary outrage to get something done via comparison to the Nazis but it cheapens the lives lost in the Holocaust. Why not internment camp?
We have a precedent in the internment of Japanese-Americans during WWII, which most Americans agree was disgusting. Not only that, the Supreme Court overturned Korematsu vs US in 2017 as part of Trump vs Hawaii. To me, internment camp dredges up exactly the type of thing we don't want happening again.

If you want to see an advanced Python compiler, have a look at PyPy. While CPython bytecode compiler is "dump", it's as smart as it can be. You can do crazy stuff with speculative replacing of bytecodes with guards and type-specific bytecodes, but then you might as well create a full just in time compiler. It's incredibly hard to create optimizations on bytecode level without changing semantics, which Python rightly stayed away from.
Hyperbole aside, if I ever ran up against sites that were blocked then sure: you could then get a VPN to solve that problem. Similarly, if I gave a shit about using content that is licenced differently in different countries (if I wanted the US netflix or whatever) then a VPN could be useful there as well.

That's got nothing to do with privacy particularly, which is the direction my opinion is coming from (rightly or wrongly).
For one, the amount of refined sugar in our diet exploded recently.

More generally, even if the molecular building blocks didn't change, the way food is prepared industrially and marketed makes us more likely to eat too much of it.

There already is to some extent. In Netherland, there's the "Vegetarische Slager" (vegetarian butcher) which produces fairly convincing substitutes of specific types of meat. But they can't call their fake chicken "chicken", or their fake beef "beef", because there's no actual chicken or beef in it. But they do want to make clear to the consumer that they're meant to be substitutes specifically for chicken and beef.

Now they can sell it as long as they spell it differently. So we get lots of fake meat with spelling errors now.
How could the fact that glass blocks UVB but allows UVA and Light be common sense?
Agreed, but that isn't science.

You could use it as a prompt to start doing more research to see if there actually is less snow. I'm not sure what else you could do with that information though, a tool for raising awareness of climate change?

Photos are better, they're useful for things like measuring glacier retreat. But even in your example there would be issues, if snow becomes noteworthy more people will take photos of it, so already you can only be confident of looking at the most extreme examples.
You're missing pg's point completely.

The present options are rubbish, that's NOT what we're talking about. pg is not talking about Tofurky or tofu, he's talking about lab grown meat.

Lab grown meat tastes, smells, cooks and is textured exactly like meat.

If you can buy something that's much cheaper than meat, but has all the plus sides, why would you choose meat?

Plus on top of that there's been a lot of media coverage the last 2 or 3 years that meat is causing a lot of problems environmentally. So there's an environmental and an economic reason to switch.
Using Freedome. Main purpose is to get around the stupid geoblocking brought in by GDPR, which often prevents me from accessing web sites from the EU.

No one actually suffering from physical ailments care one iota about "case studies" (which more often than not tend to be epidemiological studies backed by agenda-filled food industries); they are only interested in what actually works and, given that doctors are increasing regurgitating what they learned in school, self-experimenting to find out the facts of the matter for themselves.

Famously, Jon Bentley's book "Programming Pearls" binary search contained an overflow error. See "Extra, Extra - Read All About It: Nearly All Binary Searches and Mergesorts are Broken" at https://ai.googleblog.com/2006/06/extra-extra-read-all-about... which includes:

> Fast forward to 2006. I was shocked to learn that the binary search program that Bentley proved correct and subsequently tested in Chapter 5 of Programming Pearls contains a bug. Once I tell you what it is, you will understand why it escaped detection for two decades. Lest you think I'm picking on Bentley, let me tell you how I discovered the bug: The version of binary search that I wrote for the JDK contained the same bug. It was reported to Sun recently when it broke someone's program, after lying in wait for nine years or so.
No, the new legislation's notices only are allowed to be exercised in order to fulfil the requirements of a warrant (or similar instruments that have judicial oversight).

Don't get me wrong, mandating crypto backdoors is obviously a brazen breach of privacy and opens the doors to all sorts of abuses. But plaintext systems like Fastmail won't be affected by the new notices because a warrant was already sufficient to get access to your plaintext emails.

I've had 5 dogs over 45 years. All of them Shetland Sheepdogs. As long as I can remember, they have all tended to sneeze when they get excited about going outside.

If they detect I'm about to go out, they start campaigning to go with by jumping around in front of me while I'm walking around gathering up my shoes or whatever, showing a lot of excitement. It frequently culminates in one or two sneezes.

In Windows, you can basically use a UNC path anywhere because CreateFile knows how to deal with it. The point is that you don't need to mount the remote filesystem (the Windows-equivalent being mapping a network drive).
There's a version of this in SRE where the performance your system delivers becomes the performance people expect. And then they build their systems to depend on that performance, regardless of what your actual SLA is. Paradoxically, delivering better than the performance you're actually capable of sustaining can set things up to break very badly when something fails "within SLA".
