But the political/legal situation is still the same really.

We have this law to avoid abusing "free" people as volunteer, which eg in France is important against lots of things like illegal immigrant ("I don't pay you but you can sleep there !"), and to ensure egality (in France we have an even stricter law which is basically "for the same work, same salary", to avoid discrimination against various ethnics, gender, age ... difference).

If you / the NL people are saying this cause an issue, and the law should be changed to, for exemple, not include free work done for emergency public services, then it simply means we need to add a precision to the law to cover that specific case.

And if it isn't done, then it means "all those affected countries" either didn't push for it or failed to convince the whole of the EU to change the regulation.

EU regulation are done by EU MPs all coming from their respective EU countries to improve the situation there, they don't implement things randomly in a vacuum. If the regulation needs to be adapted, it's easy, given those who want it can make a case for it.
The primary issue is that vaccines are becoming a very large percentage of pharmas profits as well as there being protections for the industry to prevent people for suing them if a vaccine turns out to be actually unsafe. As far as I know this also applies if there were issues in the manufacturing even if the vaccine itself is safe.

Vaccines are very important and most make sense but we are at what appears to be a tipping point where profits may go over the general well-being of the public.

We need proper oversight.

I would say gcc and llvm are competitive - asserting gcc is faster at its current state is quite a claim.

Also, I was referring to AdaCore's implementation of the compiler backend. GNAT's architecture is structured like so:

GNAT Frontend (parsing, analysis, expansion) -> GNAT Backend (translation of frontend tree to something GNU or LLVM can understand) -> LLVM or GCC

This backend is quite complex and has a large role in how LLVM can optimize. My argument is that GNAT's GCC backend is 25 years old and a new backend written for LLVM probably generates better/cleaner code.

Also of note is that the GCC backend is written and C and the LLVM is actually written in Ada meaning its more uniform with the GNAT frontend.
I think it depends on the team and your role. In many cases, much of your value comes from being a team member, not a lone wolf, which extends beyond your personal git commits. Sometimes being available to answer questions, remove blockers, review a proposal, etc., is simply more valuable to the team than you plugging away on a ticket for four hours in isolation. In other words, while you might feel more productive because your personal output in git is higher, your impact on the team's progress might actually be lower. Of course, this can also be taken too far to the point where you're always being distracted and can't do any substantial coding. The right balance depends on what the team is trying to accomplish.
It will probably undergo several revisions and optimizations before mass production. Prototyping is usually pretty early in the process.
The fact is that the dictator would still win. The rebellious citizenry would live a life of absolute misery, just as those in the middle east do.

The 2nd amendment made a lot of sense when weaponry consisted of horses and rifles, not computer-guided missiles. If there was ever a true US dictator, the 2nd amendment would mostly be used by the oppressed to rob, attack, and oppress one another.
I have some tangential experience, I was a software engineer on a project that had an FPGA based PCIe card. You can do some cool stuff, but development can be very frustrating. PCIe enumeration happens early in startup. Until things are basically working, you have to have a computer that you are ok restarting every few minutes. A test cycle is like: flash image, restart computer, try to determine why it failed.
The Arab Spring and resulting aftermath is illustrative of what happens in such a situation.
It depends on their arsenal and their strategies. Guerilla tactics have proven to be difficult for even modern militaries. The US would have a high probability of defeating it's citizens in a conflict, but it wouldn't exactly be a walk in the park. They'd still be risking dead soldiers, disrupted supply chains, and money just to finance the thing. If citizens posed a credible threat, it might not be worth the time of a gradually corrupting government that otherwise wanted to cross the line. The point of having armed citizens and militias is not necessarily to win but to provide a credit threat that forces an issue to be a cost-benefit analysis.

If memory serves me, the Russians gave up against the Mujihadeen forces(who had help from the US; the Soviet Union was also going broke). The US came back with it's tail between it's legs after fighting Vietnam guerillas and farmers. Military might isn't everything.

Practically speaking, I don't think today's Americans are equipped to provide a credit threat against a dictator and may never will.
And of course look what happens when your citizen militias actually SUPPORT the dictator. His opposition is swiftly crushed, it's not even a contest. Democracy falls almost overnight.

Because they are jerks.

And they think that "freedumb" and "freeze peach" means that if people they voluntarily and freely associate with decide to call them out on their jerkiness, then it is they who have been aggrieved and had their rights trampled upon.

There are only two types of people who are unable to address others in a manner that makes that person feel comfortable:

1. Jerks

2. People who aren't native speakers of the language being used.
War is always a gamble.
Influence? Certainly.

Just like the UK could influence HK matters when it was a British colony, China can influence HK matters now that it's a Chinese special administrative region.

Control? Not so much.
Of course sex has a biological meaning. Trans people are more aware of that than anyone else. That is why many trans people change their primary and secondary sex characteristics through hormones and surgery.

When I was interviewing for my current job (to stop being remote) my 4 year old son barged in and started climbing all over me for the second half of a 30 minute video phone screen. That the CTO didn’t bat an eye at this was one strong indicator that she would be an amazing boss (she is)
No need, they've been invited.

"China has now assembled its largest-ever active force of People’s Liberation Army (PLA) troops and other anti-riot personnel and equipment in Hong Kong."

> China would have gone in with tanks and the army, or even air strikes

Thereby ruining the very thing they want to control and profit from.

That's the thing that the "They'll just send in the army, LOL" folks don't seem to get: bombed out cities and a population under armed guard aren't very economically productive and, on top of that, you need to station military units there to keep a lid on things which is also costly.
The irony is of course to downvote to hell any dissenting comment in a debate about democratic values and censorship in China...
Nah. Prototypes have lots of compromises - wrong materials, crude circuits etc. Maybe bolted to a plywood table top etc. The purpose of a prototype is proof-of-concept and measurement/recording. Not a simulation of real deployment.
Is it really absurd? What is absurd about you having the right to protect yourself? You seem to be saying "I can't protect myself anyway, so let's not allow anyone else to try either."

Disarming is a solution. If everyone would come together as one and hand their weapons in because THEY wanted to.

Do you really think forcibly trying to take guns from people is a solution? Damn, talk about absurd.
Gun "violence" includes suicides. There is actually a negative correlation between gun ownership and homicides.

I generally don't think the banners educate or help anyone and folks are happy to hit accept and roll on. Not much has changed.

As for if people run a site based on add revenue or not is sort of an entirely different issue / I don't think folks would like the results.
Wow, what a needless, toxic comment that attacks a person when it could easily attack an idea. It is amazing to me how prolific these types of arguments have become on this platform. I don’t understand why we continue to push arguments that equate to “you disagree with me and therefore are an idiot who cannot see what is right in front of them”
Are you sure the old hardware is capable of supporting Airplay? I thought it didn’t have the processing power required.

Except for Airplay my several years old speakers work fine. I’m happy with the support so far.
The flu vaccine is important to get.

* Every year the vaccine is updated to match the new mutation which is why you need to get one every year.

* Some years the vaccine is not fully protective, but it will still reduce the severity and duration. This could mean the difference between life and death for at-risk populations: old, young, immune-comprised.

* If enough people get it, it provides herd immunity for people who can't take it such as babies less than 6 months.

I know someone with a child who has an immune condition who can't get the flu vaccine. The father didn't think he needed to get it because he didn't think the flu was that big of a deal, and it's not for most healthy people. Well he gets the flu, gives it to his son, and the son ends up in the ICU. Thankfully the son survived. The father now always gets the flu shot.
"Different amount". It's less.

On the contrary, as a participant in global economics it has a responsibility to pay its workers fairly. No one is asking them to "fix" the economy, just to not perpetuate unfair hiring and salary practices like regional salary limits.

The work you do is worth it to GitLab or it's not. The value of the work doesn't change whether it's done in Nebraska or New York or Amsterdam.
Also in the list already :)
Ideas are easy.

Having valuable, proven insights that nobody knows, and are possible to extract value from , that's harder.
Intel (Quartus FPGA compiler) | Toronto, ON, Canada

Interested in working on algorithmically-complex C++ code to squeeze out every last bit of performance? Actually using advanced computer science knowledge outside of interviews and programming competitions? Optimizing graph-based algorithms simultaneously for runtime, memory, and quality of the resulting solution? Understanding the hardware as well as the software? Then working on Quartus, Intel's compiler for FPGAs, is for you.

You will work in a downtown Toronto location, with an amazing and diverse group of talented engineers, on some of the most intellectually challenging problems in the world, and your work will directly benefit areas like AI, telecommunications, healthcare, aerospace, finance and more.

I am looking to hire specifically for the Timing Analysis team, which is responsible for one of the most critical components in the Quartus compilation flow (all compilation decisions are ultimately aimed at making the resulting FPGA design faster, and to determine the impact of various decisions on speed you need a robust and efficient timing engine). My colleagues are hiring for other roles. Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents preferred.

Please feel free to ask any questions here in comments, or send a resume to evgeny dot osovetsky at my company name dot com.
Maybe, but libraries that you use in Nim will probably use the GC, so will many functions in the std library (I imagine). Additionally, the binary you ship will still probably include the runtime & GC. So it's not really fair to say it's on par with C/Rust, there's reasons to avoid GC besides just performance. Say you are writing an embedded application for example. I don't know any Nim, so correct me if I'm wrong.
My company is hiring in SLC. If you'll give me some idea of your background and qualifications, I'll give you some advice.
Yeah, that's my problem. Vaccines are oversold, so to speak. Everyone has a story about getting the flu immediately after getting the shot.

My big thing is safety and accountability. Currently, if a vaccine is harmful, the company that makes it has no liability, /and/ there's no control/test testing. The only way they're tested is by giving people the same shot with and without the viral component.

Problem is, saying anything that makes vaccines not sound like unicorn blood makes you one of "them", and you obviously want everyone to die of polio.
I have another thing to add to that list: sorry.about.computer doesn't have an RSS feed.
Such use, much wow.
My understanding, although I am not a doctor, is that it boosts your immunity to the virus itself because they inject you with a active (but very weakened) version of the virus. That way when your immune system is depressed, its response is still much better than it would have been otherwise. More antibodies produced, less chance the dormant virus can reactivate. Really interesting, honestly.

What is tongue-in-cheek fascism? Example.
Ever since I read the A Song of Ice and Fire books on my phone from plain text files I acquired (don't ask me how) on a reader app, paper books feel like a much more inferior experience. On my phone, I can control the text size, the font, can control the screen brightness, have a night mode option, and can read in the dark. Furthermore, my phone is always with me, so I don't need to carry around an additional device or a book.
The most aggravating thing is that this should be a trivial fix!

If certain sources are being excluded from the system, mark them as such. It doesn't have to be a value judgement or dismissal. Just tagging "opinion or satire, not fact-checked" would be a huge step up. Beyond any topical debate, it's general good practice to make that sort of distinction. "Evaluated, nothing found" and "not evaluated" are fundamentally different: one is false, the other is null. Failing to distinguish them is either a serious oversight or an intentional weakening of an evaluation system.
Exactly. The US won wars against its own citizens on a number of occasions; the Indian Wars, the short-lived Mormon conflict, the entire Civil War, and the city of Tulsa.
What if someone can't?

What if they are both equally bad?
Comparably to China in HK might be UK in Northern Ireland. I do remember them being somewhat less de-escalating than you make it sound.

In any case, you mentioned it happening in the US, that's what I was commenting on. I cannot imagine US cops not using their guns when attacked in that way. There is a point to be made about general strategies and not letting it escalate to the point where protesters throw molotov cocktails on police, but I don't know that either UK or US cops would simply disengage and give up parts of town to mob rule.

By this logic, do you think all of the other western democracies that do not have a right to bear arms are at risk of producing a Stalin?
Bluntly, yes. All those soldiers sleep, eat and live in a larger community. All those civil servants live in neighborhoods. Even if we accept that the entire military would just forget their sworn voe to uphold and defend the Constitution of the US against all enemies, foreign and domestic, an armed civilian populace in revolt would be a nightmare scenario.
> do you really think a militia of armed citizens would be anything but gnats against the windshield of the United States Armed Forces

The US has arguably won only one war in the last 70 years (being at war or at least armed conflict for most of those 70 years) with the largest most powerful military in the world.
There is a real notion of a nation's ownership right in Western thought. It's called the Westphalian nation-state, and dates back to times of the Protestant Reformation and bitter international warfare. The idea is that peace is better than everyone killing each other over religion, even if this means abandoning the people next door to some measure of religious repression at the hands of a different sect of Christianity.

However, it would be a mistake to think of the Hong Kong matter in this way. To quote the Beijing party line, "Xi Jinping thought on diplomacy has made innovations on and transcended the traditional Western theories of international relations for the past 300 years" (i.e. back to the Treaty of Westphalia). Instead, Xi Jinping thought revives tianxia, the mandate of heaven, and envisions total world domination in a heirarchical system under Chinese rule. "The Chinese have always held that the world is united and all under heaven are one family," Xi told us in his 2017 New Year's message.

Thus, even as China increasingly meddles with other nations' affairs to effect its strategy of world domination, it is naturally unconscionable for other nations to interfere with theirs or attempt containment. It is against this framework that we should consider the matter of Hong Kong.
They might still be good quality, but from anecdotal evidence, not as good as before.

And most machines probably do work for many years, just not sufficiently enough to offer a longer warranty. Which is fine for most homes, since you're not running a mission critical operation and a few days to pick out a new washer isn't going to kill you. A business that needs machines to work might find it worth shelling out more for a quality product that rarely quits or can be fixed on site.

In some ways, it isn't that different; consoles are just computers with some platform-weirdness. But I do actually agree insofar as that I can reasonably target NT, Darwin, and Linux from one machine (so long as it's a mac or I'm willing to break the Apple EULA), but to target consoles, so far as I know, requires purchasing additional hardware.

Hah! Belgium, world tax champion, can do better than that!

You have a salaried job. You set up a side gig after working hours. After business expenses, you pay:
* (depending on the province) ~100€/year of flat rate provincial tax, regardless of income
* 22% of independent contractor "solidary contribution", for which you get _literally_ nothing in return
* if you have a somewhat decent paying main job, ~53.5% federal and local tax

No wonder so many people's side gigs here either go unreported or show zero profit...
THis might be a stupid question, but where are Warning shots fired?

Are they fired close to the target, but far enough away to miss? Can this only be done if there is no one behind the target, are they shot into the sky? If so is their no danger of bullets hitting people falling back down? Or do they lose enough speed on the downward arc to be safe? Or is the chance of a warning shot hitting someone innocent so staggering low that it isn't worth worrying about?
