This is pretty similar, though the specific one I am thinking of is an image of a "scanned document" and seems to be more focused around workplace. But this is similar enough that it gave me better search terms to find what I was thinking of[0]. I'm not really convinced that this is a legitimate CIA or FBI document but the post I found it under claims it is a "1940s CIA memo on how to sow dysfunction in an infiltrated organization" and I've seen it many times floating around with similar titles.

But yeah, I fully agree that this is essentially about bad faith tactics. My new strategy to dealing with this is to call these people out on their bad faith rather than engaging in the misdirection that they are creating. At least in my experience it seems to push these conversations down from the top spot (but that may be a selection bias).

Your C implementations lacks "buffer bounds". C by itself doesn't. There is nothing stopping a C implementation tracking the size of the data that a pointer points to (and these implementations are not even hypothetical, they actually exist right now).

> hence it would be backward incompatible

Rust is backward incompatible with C. A C implementation with fat pointers would not be backward incompatible with C. Depending on how it was implemented it could be ABI-incompatible with older C implementations but this is not necessary either.

While I fully agree with you that there are fantastic games on screens (I'm playing HL Alyx at the moment), I was trying to present an alternative explanation for the study. So we are taking about a game that is easy enough for kids to understand and play reliably. That might make the game used in the study too boring for adults, because they have played similar games in the past, while it is a new experience for the kids.
Your comparisons are patently ridiculous. Jews were persecuted for personal beliefs that hurt no one and affected none but themselves; this is very much not the case for Brendan Eich, whose views and actions were explicitly intended to take away rights from others.

Moreover, the Spanish Inquisition acted on the power of royal decrees, so they very much enforced laws of the state, which means your example falls flat even on its most basic premise.

You seem to either misunderstand or misrepresent the point of the protests against Brendan Eich. Mozilla employees weren't trying to abridge his rights to free speech or to vote according to his beliefs, they simply didn't want to follow a person actively working towards making their lives measurably worse for no good reason. Of course getting him to resign doesn't make him change his voting; that was never the point! Brendan Eich isn't a child, and people's main objective isn't to discipline him and make him understand what he did wrong- it's to limit his damage! Why allow someone to infect an organization you care about and depend on with their toxic beliefs? Again, a CEO's biases don't amount to a hurtful code comment; they are steering the entire company culture!

The Statnews article I linked is a good example of reporting for this kind of very early result. It does clearly mention that this is at an early stage and that no clinical data has been collected yet. I think this is certainly interesting, it's just so tiring to see this kind of stuff turn up again and again in extremely misleading articles in mainstream media.

Though I think it would have been better to wait until peer review before making a press release. This is not a paper that has immediate clinical applications, and the peer review might still turn up some problems with the paper.
Formalizing relations is certainly news. It seems they plan to establish embassies, create direct flights, etc.

It's not a monopoly, there is NO definition that fits for Apple being a monopoly. DOn't like Apple buy an Android. Android is more popular and has the same rules. Game Developer?

Apple sells a platform and it's successful but it's absolutely not the only platform around or even the biggest except in sales.

The JS-heavy web interface of Jira can be infuriatingly slow, so perhaps the frustrations start from there.

Jira, the project management tool, can actually be great, if you configure it properly. The issue lifecycles, what fields are visible, how the board is showing things etc. can be designed to be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. In addition to that, the integration with Bitbucket and Confluence is also fantastic for referencing issues and features across the code and documentation.

Misuse of a tool does not make it a bad tool.

Disclaimer: have worked on developing a Jira plugin, so my understanding of Jira might be a bit more advanced than that of a novice user (but not by much).

One car every 2 seconds sounds totally plausible. In fact, that number actually seems pretty low to me. A single lane/tunnel should be able to handle automated cars traveling at a 2-second following distance no problem, so that just leaves loading/unloading as a potential bottleneck. How many on-ramps do you think it would take to reach a capacity of 0.5 cars/second? I'm really curious as to what sort of problems you're envisioning which would make that "impossible".

> but 100% renewables without daily blackouts is incredibly hard.

Well, maybe we should just get accustomed to daily blackouts? I mean yeah, it's inconvenient, but so is being choked to death by pollution and staring down a global climate catastrophe. Besides, being accustomed to blackouts would make us better prepared for other causes of blackouts, like a chaos monkey for our power dependency. And to top it all off: people will need to find something to do when their power is out, like maybe go outside and see what we've been working so hard to destroy with our giant SUVs and whatnot.

...I think I'm only half kidding, actually.

That's totally possible. At the same time Apple has been pushing "We have to protect our customers, that is why everything must go through the App Store" as a reason for their policies for years.

That argument definitely implies that non-App Store methods are unsafe.

I disagree with that point. People are not going to stop searching for things online, and while Google does try to capture some of that traffic and keep people on Google, it doesn't work, even when they get it right, except for the simplest of queries. Anything more involved and I always click through to read more of the source material. I don't think that will change either.
You can avoid reference counting overhead by using handles as described in this article. Each object in a slab would have just one reference, and you handles would be indexes into an array of them. Now, after you do that you will be on be hook for making sure you don't accidentally deallocate any of the objects that is currently in use. And it's not guaranteed to be faster. But it is one way to get around this issue.

Really hoping regulators crack down hard on Apple's clearly anticompetitive practices.

It's as if the author writes content to /please/ Google. There are other players in town that will spread my message wide, other than Google. Google is a single point of failure too. If most of your traffic relies on a black-box algo developed by Google, at some stage you are going to be butthurt by that algo. Others will celebrate their success at gaming Google's algo and getting good rankings consistently, but these people are mostly blackhat SEOs probably trying to peddle cialis with a cheap discount.
> This is the one major difference I'd say is not currently common on Linux. Could be easily solved by keeping package list databases in $HOME - the only reason root is required nowdays is because these are usually kept as 1 copy per system.

As I posted elsewhere, I think it'd actually be very hard to replicate the experience of Homebrew on macOS, on Linux, specifically for GUI programs, because not only is the the Linux GUI (and related multimedia capabilities, for that matter) so much more fragmented than macOS (where all that ships as one big, stable package) but that fragmentation bleeds through to and manifests in one's experience with individual applications. If not for that, yeah, it'd be very achievable.

Its package selection is also a whole lot bigger than most Linux package managers, in my experience. I don't think I've seen a selection nearly this wide since I was a Gentoo user, many moons ago.

The CLI is better than most Linux package managers—some of those are improving, though. Good error messages and "did you mean..." go a long way.
This is not surprising to me, and I have to say, I completely agree with it. Epic publicly and blatantly bypassed multiple App Store restrictions with their move today.

Surely they were expecting this to happen, so what comes next? Perhaps Epic has been planning a major lawsuit and this will provide them with the reason to launch it?

HoTT changes what equal means. In order for univalence to work you must be comfortable with arbitrary code running to perform the necessary substitutions. Isomorphism isn't for free, you can do some fancy cast-conversions (where cast is an identity function) that has been explored in generic zero-cost reuse [1] but this is not HoTT and uses essentially an UIP equality (which is inconsistent with HoTT).

Your usage of the word "cast" in the second paragraph is a misnomer, because no systems programmer is going to want to perform an expensive transporation in HoTT!

I've generally heard from hybrid & EV early adopters that they have found their brake pads are replaced either "once" or "never", in the life of their vehicle. For this reason.

If you're driving gently (to maximize regeneration), a hybrid or EV pretty much only uses the brake pads to hold the car at a stop. Deceleration is done entirely with regeneration, for maximum energy recovery.
I don't follow this. Why would they have to implement alternative payment methods in the stpre? An app can create their own payment method within the app itself.
You don't have to use the brake pedal at all if you drive carefully. Just lift off the accelerator and the wheels drive the motor generating electricity and slowing the car.
Gaming has not been "single-thread" for a while, tbh. Multi-thread workloads are going to be increasingly relevant in the future, as even low-to-middle end cpu's will ship with a sizeable number of cores and support for GPU compute acceleration, e.g. via Vulkan.

> Money laundering has this vague definition of reusing or reinvesting any money from a crime.

In the criminal context Money laundering doesn’t have a vague definition. It is a crime with very specific definitions codified in statutes, each having their own elements and controlling case law from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

For example, at the US Federal level there are 4 very specific types of unlawful money laundering (promotional, concealment, structuring and tax evasion).

And at least at the Federal Level the companion statute prohibits depositing or spending more than $10,000 from the predicated offense.

This is effectively how taxes on goods work. Governments make certain goods or services (or more intangibles such as income) cost more (taxes) which they then use to provide discounts on other goods or services (e.g. library services, postal services, reducing or eliminating healthcare costs, etc.).

The main difference from taxes is that this is private enterprise vs a purely government endeavor, but in that respect it's really not very different from other government regulations on private enterprise as well as contracts between purely private entities (there are plenty of proposed and actual regulations and contracts on bundling goods and services, which is effectively what this is, just with more flexibility than with usual bundling).

This shows up all over the place. Governments can force health insurance providers (private or governmental) to bundle both unprofitable at-risk patients together with profitable healthy patients. A fly-by-night insurance provider can swoop in and offer lower premiums to those profitable healthy patients. Nominally this seems great! Lower rates for folks who don't need it (similar to the garbage scenario, garbage gets picked up for those people dumping valuable garbage!). But now the incentive structure is getting pretty messed up and those at-risk patients are vulnerable to a lot of rate hikes since the premiums paid by healthy patients are being "skimmed" away.

Put another way, bundling goods and services in certain ways lets you control incentives, which can be used for good or bad ends. However, surreptitiously unbundling those things after there's already been an agreed-upon bundling can wreak havoc on that initial incentive structure.

My main reason for disliking Snap is the fact that it allows anybody in the world to publish a package with minimal moderation. This completely undermines the inherent trust that system package managers should have.

When installing critical system packages, I want to be absolutely certain that these are legitimate/official, and that even if I make a minor error in typing a command, I won't inadvertently install some sort of typosquatted fake version of the package.

When using Apt with the default repositories, this isn't a problem at all, as only known, trusted packages are available. In other words, there's no chance of someone publishing a fierfox or apahce2 package to try to typosquat someone.

I don't even want to talk about the forced automatic updates either... these make it essentially impossible to have a stable/reliable system for specialist use cases, e.g. browser testing, bastion host, build environment, where control over updates is very important.

On the sandboxing - it's good in principle, but rarely seems to be implemented in a truly meaningful way, as ultimately once you have home drive access, you don't even need to worry about escalating privileges as everything valuable is probably in your home area!
