Speaking as an Australian I'd put the key difference between Australians and Americans this way: Americans feel like every surface is a slippery slope. Australians don't.

It's why Americans (many anyway) resist even toothless firearm regulations, for example. "If they take away our bump stocks then before you know it they'll take all our guns and we'll have no defense against the tyranny of government!"

While I certainly don't support raiding the ABC, for example (as opposed to News Corp, which needs to burn to the ground followed by exiling every Murdoch on Earth to Tristan da Cunha), an important question to ask--which I haven't seen the answer to--is did the AFP obtain the source of the leak from the raids or not?

If no then things are pretty complicated, for David McBride at least. He himself wasn't (and isn't) a journalist. He did obtain classified material in his capacity as a lawyer for the Defense Department, which is a bit of a double-whammy. Even if you can get passed the classified part, having your lawyer make unauthorized disclosures of professional work product (essentially) is a problem.

Even in America this would be a problem. It was certainly a problem for Chelsea Manning.
The index is not about how safe or peaceful it is to live inside the country. It is about "the extent to which countries are involved in ongoing domestic and international conflicts"

Quite a few: "As easy as it may be to silently whisk away thousands of people to new re-education centres, skyrocketing prisoner would also require a huge recruitment drive.

True, and I do try to. You don't seem to be similarly encumbered.

> Surely your media will never lie or leaving important facts out, like the terrorist attacks happened in China

So that's why they're imprisoning a million people! for an attack by six people (which killed 31 people others).

You agree that it's happening now because you've explained why it's happening

They have not.

I wear a Motiv fitness monitor ring and it tracks sleep very accurately. I've noticed over the past year wearing it that the nights that leave me feeling best in the morning usually have a period of 45 minutes to an hour that log as awake time -- usually about half way through my sleep session. Oddly, I rarely recall being awake during this time.
It's not useful for anything other than macroscopic consideration.

> If Apple really think we need something other than "vulkan" then they should push to make "metal" a competing open standard

Metal predates Vulkan by years. They were already using Metal in shipping products before Vulkan existed.
In my experience as a mechanical designer physical testing, especially system level integrated testing, is the only way to find errors in the “unknown unknown” category. In a complex system (mechanical, electrical, software, biological, basically all of them), there usually exist interactions that are very difficult to predict. Software-based simulation can help, but is only as good as the models which are used to describe the underlying physics. In my experience, these models aren’t nearly good enough, and without testing, you can’t even say what is wrong with them.

Full-up testing isn’t always possible, but it shouldn’t be abandoned only because it is costly or difficult.
This is so out of touch with most of the world's population. In post-soviet world having a tiny 1 bedroom apartment on 10th floor with yard overrun with parked cars is the best middle class can hope for. Even in the western Europe having an American-sized garage is almost outside of reach of the row house owner. A large lot with a 4br house and a double garage is such a far away dream for most families.

And the company, Sapa, didn't (AFAICT) manufacture the components, they were a third-party testing service!

They provided exactly the tests you say should have picked up the problems.

So can you name a multicultural city according to your definition?

I get the feeling your sentiment comes from never having lived in an actual monoculture, so what is multicultural just feels normal to you. Krakow and Vienna are very different compared to Berlin and London to name examples.

I had similar thoughts about how they could use YouTube or something equivalent to open access a little in return. Grow the cake and all that.

I then had quick Google and it seems a few years back some were seeing a conflict between ESR's Internet Civil Engineering Institute and something called the Core Infrastructure Initiative[1] which it seems is pulling in millions.

Perhaps it just lost out.

11 years on and this is still prescient. Certainly free is the future of software for nearly all users, a huge shift back to its origins where software was given away and freely copied to support machine sales.

We are entering the era where software again wants to be free but now, instead of selling metal, we lease it to people as a subscription along with bug fixes and support. We are truly returning to the very origins of mainframe and personal computing.
I thought about that too.

Maybe they were trying something new on a development environment, or testing something that should have worked in production. That would be funny.

Metal, nice OOP based tooling with several frameworks to support handling textures, fonts, materials, GPU live shader debugging, code completion on Xcode with static analysis, C++14 based shaders.

Vulkan, plain old C style API, full of extensions just like OpenGL, leading to several code paths, just the bare bones pixel drawing, go fish for random libraries for anything else, try your luck with RenderDoc or GPU specific debuggers, enjoy Notepad++ + UNIX shell style tooling support.
It's the sort of thing I'd love to see NASA do for Skylab, Voyager, and other missions, where we used tune in for regular updates. It was all a huge free PR boost for the US - most of my generation were somewhat hooked on space going through school. Then there was all the associated programmes explaining how it all worked, the plan or the why, and the artist's impressions of space stations, manned Mars plans or Lunar bases. There's got to be a huge archive we've seen only snippets of - I never realised they kept every station's comms.

If it were official, I suspect I might be disappointed by the time it had got through multiple committees and large government contractors.

Okay, here's something you clearly don't know: You're not actually that person, this is the self-image that you have constructed for yourself. It's an idealization of a rational human being that you admire, but that doesn't actually exist.

On another note, let's say you were this exceptional kind of human: Your advice would still be bad. Most people are not like you. Most people will react negatively, perhaps without you noticing. It wouldn't be very smart to go out into the world and assume that everyone works works the way you do, or that at least they should.

Vulkan is on Android, Direct X is on Windows, Metal is on macOS and iOS.

I don't see anything wrong with it. Just like Windows did't adopt Vulkan. And that is assuming Vulkan is good in the first place.

And most of the gaming development are now done with Middlewares like Unity and Unreal. The way I see it, more and more people will develop with Middlewares in mind, those API won't be touched by a shrinking amount of developers.

I was born in DC more than 70 years after said hotel was demolished, however, I can recognize by the way they write that "The Arlington" (always appearing with an article) is presumably a place in the District. No one would presume that kind of social crowd to be in Virginia, especially the further you go back in time.

This is, frighteningly, entirely on point. All cryptos other than Bitcoin were dead from the starting gate. This is FB disrupting crypto (with something that isn't crypto) and taking fintech away from banks and PayPal in one fell swoop. Merchants and advertisers will be falling all over themselves to encourage Libra payments because they will come with a whole slew of personal data about the consumer that the average payment card can only scrape together in a poor imitation.

None of this is good news for consumers, but it is an interesting move for FB.

Yes, this is the same way that I use LaTeX, and have been using it for almost as long as you. However, when you first started out, how long did it take you to figure out this stuff? My original comment was in response to the “accessibility” of LaTeX, and honestly I don’t think it’s that accessible.

As for margins, I’ve had issues where changing the margins makes the page numbering “fall off” the page, and as for headers and footers, asserting that you “don’t need” them is not a valid option for many people producing documents.

Also to be clear, I’m not saying LaTeX is impossible or even hard to use, I’m complaining that certain tasks in it should be so much easier than they are.
Only Android, and on Nintendo Swift as 2nd tier API (1st tier is NVN).

Even on Windows, you need from get the drivers from OEMs, and they only work in old Win32 desktop mode, not on store/UWP.

I believe this is a deliberate misrepresentation of the current state of affairs on Vulkan. Likely for the purposes of spreading disinformation about a specification that legions of smart, dedicated, hardworking engineers came up with after countless hours of debate and consensus.

I mean be real...

there is no way that any programmer who actually used Vulkan would find it as pleasant to work with as you imply in your comment.
Some people differentiate between just-in-time compilation, which is what for example .NET does (or did, last time I checked), where it just literally compiles it as it would ahead-of-time, but at the last second before executing it for the first time, and dynamic compilation, which is for example what Graal does - compiling based on runtime conditions, possibly multiple times with different results as the program executes.
This is morally equivalent to the pointy headed boss who demands people work from the office because work that is not done in his field of view does not exist.
Just because this is the way that most word processors currently work, does not mean it needs to be this way. You could imagine a word processor where the default mode was to edit content only, and editing structure/layout was hidden behind a second button or something.
That depends on the country of origin and the cause. If this happened in the US it would require an extensive filing with NERC and most likely several public hearings before regulators and lawmakers. Then laws would be written to attempt to prevent the incident in the future. For example, see the repercussions from the 2003 Northeast Blackout [0].

If this was caused by state actors, in part or whole, then I would expect most hearings and reports about it to be less public, and occur behind closed doors.

Australian lawyers from the top of Google Search results say that it can be if done careful:

> Generally, where a computer program is reverse engineered by copying the idea of the function presented in the program code, the original computer programmer’s copyright is not infringed. Where a computer program’s expressions in code are reproduced or adapted (including into a different computer programming language), the original computer program’s copyright is likely to be infringed. This means that where reverse engineering occurs by “clean room” design, Australian courts are unlikely to find that there has been an infringement of the original author’s copyright.

Okay... so now also include in your statement the quality of those new jobs. Not how many electronic gadgets people can buy compared to 50 years ago, but how stressed they are and how they fit into greater society. Also include how useful many jobs feel to those working in them - reference to "Dilbert jobs" (or Wally jobs, if you like and how common the feeling seems to be that ones job is useless (I myself certainly had quite a few high-paying (IT) freelancer jobs - the ones where you would expect more rigour before the position is created - where I had clear evidence that the job was completely useless, but it's hard to decline 6-figure income for half a year when society punishes you if you do that).

I don't see the point in making an argument when it's only based on "there is a(ny) job". Here where I live now the bureaucrats can trim the number of jobless by putting them into temporary and mostly useless training programs. Useless according not to me but to any analysis ever published in (the major) news media in my country. Also, the number of people working for worker-lease companies instead of being "direct employees" has increased may times over the last two decades. Part of making the workforce "more flexible". Now they have less pay, are sent around the country much more often and can't establish themselves in one place (or have a family life where they are away all week and have stressful weekend travel to and from the places of work) - but sure, "flexibility" is up. It does not matter if the families those people create will have much less happy kids - as long as the total numbers still look alright. Right?If you "migrate" a job from a stable decades-long factory job to being an Uber driver, 1 == 1 so it's all the same on the bottom line?
While not strictly one meal, many Parisians have a similar approach.

A very light breakfast - jokingly a coffee and a cigarette but may include a croissant.

Lunch is large, may involve multiple dishes/courses over an hour. After lunch is "coffee" which may take another hour (essentially to allow proper digestion before trying to concentrate on work again).

The evening meal is often light. Many people have a snack with drinks while catching up with friends at a brasserie.

Having spent three months working in Paris, I adopted the above pattern (minus the cigarettes). I gained no weight while there, despite eating delightful pastries for breakfast and not doing the 200-300kms per week of cycling I normally would do at home.
Being more efficient during higher energy demands doesn't necessarily optimize you for the same conditions with lower demands. It would be interesting to re-calculate energy expenditure at rest for the over-exercised grouped.
Why would Apple care about how DirectX is doing? They support 'Standards' and 'Open Source' to the extent that it benefits them and that's it.

Vulkan is not designed to be used by game developers directly but rather as a basis for games engines like Unreal or Unity. So I don't see how game developers would benefit from its widespread support as the majority of game developers will never have to deal with it directly.

That said Vulkan is an unmitigated disaster, though less so than classic OpenGL. Any API which fiddles with void* in 2019 should be put right back in a box. Security is mentioned exactly twice in the entire spec. Type-safety is mentioned twice also. And that is in a spec which is 900 pages long and incredibly complex.
