IMO the accusation of terrorism is too much, but honestly some of the actions are worrying. I'm against the Catalonian independence, so everyone knows where I'm coming from, but I understand why so many Catalonians are angry and protest for.

But I also understand what different police forces are facing. You get actions like putting trees and blocks of concrete on railroads, making it very dangerous for passengers and workers. They can't just let that happen. And they see this people is using P2P technology which is almost impossible to control, so they use all legal means at their disposal. I'm not a legal expert but I'd bet that going through the terrorism route is the only way they have to do something about it.

We could argue for years about what's legitimate and what's not, but I don't think it's reasonable to expect the police forces to do nothing.
I'm not sure what you expected, holding a company liable. Expect it to reduce its own liability.

You know it's possible to regulate prices with laws, do you? The thing you said is not a law of nature, just something we agreed on. And we can change our mind.

The thing is, the government can't let a "comunidad autonoma" organize a binding referendum about a region's secession of Spain, because that would put the region's sovereignty on the region's people, and that's against the Spanish constitution (art. 1.2, the sovereignty of the entire Spanish territory is of all Spanish citizens).

That also infringes Spanish constitution's 2nd art., "the Constitution is fundamented atop the indissoluble unity of the Spanish nation".

It's not that they "should have let them vote", it's that they can't, unless the Spanish citizens reform the constitution and remove those articles.

The separatist movement is blocked in that regard, and unless all other UN countries were to recognize Catalonia as an independent state, they are locked in as a "comunidad autonoma" until a constitution reform happens.
This logic about suppliers isn't necessarily solid. Check out the difficulties for the US in continuing to execute people as European drug companies don't want to supply them with drugs for lethal injection. You can't buy drugs suitable for lethal injection over the counter, and so if an American outfit that wants to kill prisoners can't get approved to buy from a supplier then it has to resort to drastic experiments...

This should be upvoted. While the net deaths from murders, drug overdoses, and manslaughter of various cases might be a really high number, they are not even close to what a single government can do in a year or a nuclear-armed government can do in a few minutes.

In regards to the whole NSO thing, I’m completely baffled how their principals and employees are not on a sanctions list and don’t have arrest warrants out for them. Consider how much trouble non-malicious hackers have gotten in for pointing out security holes publicly. What we have here is a company actively conducting espionage against some of the most valuable public companies in the United States. Even more egregious, they are targeting those companies’ customers, illegally.

Hardware industry maturity as a new era of innovation
I've read about the software on the Voyager 1 and just had some driver issues again.

Then I had a thought, why don't we have hardware that is meant to last and not change all the time.
Aren't there two sides to the coin of innovation?

We never build a perfect driver for one device, there are no startups that compete for the best utilization.

Not to mention all the wasted resources.

Some Mercedes from the 80's have been driven for millions of miles in third world countries, right before they had all the electronics that are often not repairable. I've also read about a moped from some Italian factory that is basically unchanged since the 80's and still sells well.

I still use my iPhone 6s with a replaced battery. It's perfect and was a great deal in retrospect. I will use it until it breaks.

Hardware innovation is slowing, wouldn't it be time for a phone company to build one now and say: "This will run and serviced for 15 years".

Imagine what startups could build on that platform. Also you could build perfect rust drivers for the last few percent of performance which are not obsolete anytime soon.

Also with open source hardware, the producers would compete on price and quality.

Is this still way off in the future? Are there already examples of this?

I mean Intel has problems getting to 7nm and Apple seems to focus more on Software recently (they ran out of ideas). There has to be a limit where it's just not economical any longer.

NYZO verifier setup instead of classic mining
I've done a little research on Nyzo and this looks good to me. Now I want to try to setup some of these verifiers because I missed the chance few years ago to get in mining, the main reason is that I'm not so tech savy guy. This looks pretty easy and much more reasonable than expected. Calculation is also very attractive. What are your thoughts on this gals and guys? Thanks
Holy fuck these people
I'm seeing some non-throwaway accounts used, although not really in a spammy sense.
Politicians listen to lobbyists because it is impossible for a human to understand all laws they pass. I'm in favor of things like the "read the bills act", but the only thing they really do is allow time for groups interested in the law to read the final text and mobilize their members to write vote X on the bill letters.

Sure I can read one bill and understand the details, but it would take more months than there are in a session (2 years) to UNDERSTAND all the bills congress passes. If I were a lawyer I could understand them a little faster, but not enough to make a difference.

The result is congress needs trusted experts to write the laws for them. Very few people are experts in anything useful that they are not paid for. (the exceptions are things like movie watcher - which congress is already as much an expert as everyone else)
> The Spanish police, concerned citizenry, etc. can use the app just as much as anyone else, to prevent things from getting out of hand

They can't. The app uses some kind of location data to silo information. So for example if they want to make an action in Tarragona, people from Barcelona is not going to know about it.

It is likely, seeing some threads of people who have analyzed the application, that the administrators, or whoever is behind it, will be able to know how many people are available in a particular location, and isolate that information in a kind of opsec.
I tell you it was fairly destabilizing working in a small office in a highrise in a city center. 90 minutes at best from home on two trains, open office plan in a small office space, it was like being in a cage, being so far from a space which was "mine". The only escapes were spending a long time commuting, walking around outside on busy city streets, or sitting in a bathroom stall.

I think the psychology has something to do with growing up on a few hundred acres.

Boy could I have used a crying room. Not to actually cry but just to escape for a while now and then.
Don't forget that Github is Microsoft.
I guess you just like to argue.

It's strictly illegal under GDPR, the agreement is void as it contradicts the law (you cannot have terms and conditions superseding the law). The policy - "agree to tracking" must be explained and justified, consent must be given (affirmative action by customer/user).

Failing to do that and holding user's data as hostage would be compliance breach. GDPR fines are no joke and set forward to prevent abuse. (up to 20m euro or 4% global revenue) GitLab is no small business any more and a fine would outweight the 'tracking profits'

It's against their constitution to do so. My country has similar wording in its constitution. Nevertheless, independence can happen if there's enough support for it, either through peaceful means or not. Unfortunately the central goverment's actions only escalate the situation further. It's like they've learned nothing from the Basque conflict.

In the UK "government" is generally taken to mean the executive who are also part of the legislature (parliament), but not judiciary. UK Judiciary separation appears to be far stronger than in the US viewed from here in the UK.
that's a large simplification of the problem. ¿Can Barcelona where people is less independent secede from the rural Catalonia? ¿Can the rich secede from the poor? As a matter of the actual law, only all the Spaniards can vote for a change like that, but Catalonians will never accept such thing because they will never be able to convince that the separation of Catalonia is a good thing for both sides.
No one cares, they can take their political shit posts somewhere else.

To continue this analogy, the problem is that if you ignore how the yummy sausages are made you don't really know what is normal and what is off when you examine the process behind the rotten ones.

People naively think the problems will be obvious. The issue at the heart of the analogy, though, is that those same people would find what they define as problems with the process for making the yummy ones. Thus, the "problems" are not as obvious as they think.
There's been an unfortunate trend in the JS world where a lot of frameworks are created, but without any real meaningful sense of progress, resulting in a sense of going around in cycles in various "reskins" with different syntax and conventions, all round some kind of core MVC idea.

When I say "actual CS concepts" I mean things that have been broken down into it's core using a suitable mathematical model. This is ultimately a much more suitable way bo build tools used by engineers.

My personal concerns is that Vue to me is mostly just a reskin with new syntax on things that are already in React. Hooks become the "composition api". Redux becomes VueX. Is this necessary?

Could VueX just have been an alternative to Redux, like MobX is?

Could we just have implemented a Webpack-loader to put styles and react components together?

Some people don't like that React uses `className` instead of class. Is `v-bind:class` and various `@` notations really so much better we can justify a whole new ecosystem?

So roughly - Vue provides fragmentation in the frontend ecosystem. I like competition - but what does it really offer that justifies it? I don't get it, and now what they have been working on is just catching up to React.
Even if you do compile your kernel, it really doesn't take that long on modern hardware. I just set up Gentoo on my main computer and the kernel literally took five minutes to compile on an 8 core AMD FX-8300 with 12GB of RAM. I spent much more time configuring it, of course :-)

Fair enough, but they could still have campaigned against secession and declared any referendum void. They probably could have managed it better than send armed police to confiscate the ballot boxes.
I think you are leaving out two important parts of this conflict.

* The police brutality: Spanish police have been clashing with protestors disregarding their own operational guides and using excessive force and have been asked by multiple times to deescalete tensions. You can read more about this here: https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2019/10/spain-authori...

* Judiciary repression: Two leaders of civic organizations, not politicians, have been handed down sentences of 9 years for sedition which is what sparked this protest.

Votes are only for sale when voters don't care about the issue. Politicians don't want money - they want power, when voters don't really care money buys ads and the like which translates into votes. Then voters care though no amount of money can buy off a "wrong" vote and they get voted out - lose their power.
I prefer my software politics free, but it's their right in my opinion to do it, and mine to choose whether or not to use the software.
At the university of Antwerp they gave Oberon as the first programming language for Computer Science (back in 1997). The reasoning of the professor was so that everyone started from scratch, because nobody would know it already.

It was indeed an eye opener on how many different things there can still be. Especially the mouse key combinations that you had to press were pretty unique.

Never used it ever since that first year, but it's hard to forget because it was so different.

> You get actions like putting trees and blocks of concrete on railroads, making it very dangerous for passengers and workers.

There are laws against doing such things on the books, I'd assume - even if the motive were "just" to block railway traffic. The government should focus on investigating those responsible. It's not at all clear that blocking an app that might have countless legitimate, non-violent uses is the right choice.

It's shocking how people whine about case insensitivity without bothering to try using Nim for a while.

Case insensitivity is a feature and it's meant to allow easy interfacing with C.

And it also encourages clean code.

With other languages you can have variables called "startdate", "start_date" and "startDate" in the same scope leading to bugs - especially when using completion in an editor - and poor readability.

In Nim the compiler tells you that you are redefining the same variable in 3 different places and you can go and give them more meaningful names.
The other replies cover most of my reaction, but there’s one more thing I want to add:

If you have a binary format for a tree structure, you almost always end up accruing garbage as you edit it. That always happens in rich HTML editors, for example.

For something like an image editor, the bitmap is OK because it’s not a tree structure and doesn’t balloon out of control as you edit.

Where your image is tree-structured, eg Photoshop layers, the editing tool will generally show you the exact layer tree in a sidebar, so you can make sure it stays clean and tidy.

It’s easiest to keep it tidy when the canonical source is human-readable text. (Although it’s worth watching out for formatting differences. Something like gofmt helps there.)
