git log would definitely show the entire commit message, so I don't see why there would be almost no audience. git blame along with git show or git log -n1 would also allow you to see the rest of the commit message for a particular line in the codebase.

We Need a Principled Anti-Lockdown Movement – AIER
I don't subscribe to the moral calculus that has war crimes cancel each other. When one starts justifying a war crime against civilians because the enemy committed war crimes themselves, one is on very shaky ground.

For example, rape and murder against German civilians is not morally justifiable just because the Nazis were horrendous monsters.
Didn't you get the memo? The left is all about the guns now too.

I assume local food is more well-studied than local fashion, and may have similar environmental cost profiles. This study: http://www.iufn.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Making-local-... found that transportation is actually less important than other factors.

On the other hand, local food has other important advantages: resiliency (perhaps less important for clothing), and supporting the local economy.
Such an off beat example, I don’t really understand what you’re getting at. We can still have robust TLS without having e2e encryption that prevents the media servers for scanning for illegal material.
The real question is why Metal instead of Vulkan.
>in Germany and Switzerland they are desperate for good engineers

This is absolutely not true. I don't know why anyone would lie so blatantly.

Engineering and CS graduates are present in abundance, and the job market is brutal.
Bill Gates said something stupid and people are talking about it. His phrasing is what I expect an old person who doesn't have decades of industry pioneering experience in technology to say. So weird.

Point is, who cares what else he has to say if he says stuff like this? He's as much an expert on technology as he is on pathology, so if his opinions on technology are bad... well you get the point.
It's about the contract, not what you choose to call the thing. Sorry if I offended you. We could call it "Mickey Mouse Playhouse" and it would still not matter. The contract is the only important language here. If you'd like to read and comment on that (links I provided in my post) I am would be very interested in your opinion. I don't care about what the program is called...because in court the contract is what will protect you or hurt you.

And, yes, the semantics part is deriving a meaning that does not exist or is irrelevant from my use of the term "incubator" (which, as I explained, the contract authors used with me during email conversations).

It's about the contract.
And once packaged, those vulnerabilities are going to be faster to exploit than a physical lock could be picked by anyone not an expert.

Or, heck, just unlock all the doors and see what chaos happens. Try that with physical locks.
For example, the fire bombing of Tokyo killed more in a single day than either Hiroshima or Nagasaki (though radiation sickness would eventually bring the Hiroshima total to slightly larger).

The only real difference with the atomic bombings was it was one bomb from one plane.
KN94 is the Korean standard. They made their own because the need for a standard arose because of the dust that comes from China. Not sure what KN95 is.
How come the US -- the biggest economy in the world, and home of the most sophisticated banking sector on the planet -- is still not equipped with such a system?

Because, as pointed out in other comments, the United States pioneered electronic finances when the rest of the world's banks were still settling their accounts at the end of the day by dragging cartloads of paper money and gold bars from branch to branch.

You're welcome.

FWIW, the goal of the allied bombing campaign was always to cripple the adversary nation by bombing industrial infrastructure; the doctrine pre-dated the outbreak of WW II.

The invention of radar-assisted targeting thwarted this mission in the early phases of the war in Europe, and it took a tech arms race to get past it.

In the Pacific, the US’s primary objective was to secure an air base within strategic bombing range of Japan. It pursued this by capturing islands and investing in aeronautics (extending the range and carrying capacity of bombers).

Once within range of Japan, the Air Force tried strategic bombing at first, but found themselves unable to hit their targets. They had to fly above flak, and aim through the previously-undiscovered jet stream. They eventually gave up and turned from strategic bombing to recently-invented (demonstrated in 1942/3, mass produced in 1944) napalm. They knew it was awful, but considered it a trade of X lives now for 10x lives later.

All this to say, I don’t believe that war weariness significantly influenced the decision to use napalm and atomic weapons, in Europe or Japan. If the allied powers had encountered the opportunity to use them within the first year of the war, their military doctrine would have dictated their use.
I suspect that Apple has highly optimized Metal to support their own new processors.
That seems like the source of the error to me. It can't be the case that anyone who ever rejects a proposal to spend money is inflicting a loss of life years.
Apple CPUs are nowhere close to things like Ryzen or Thread ripper when it comes to multi-threaded performance. Moreover, most modern games can make use of at the very least 4 to 8 threads nowadays, so I would expect Apple silicon to fair poorly on most game benchmarks (assuming they were ported to ARM, of course).

E2E refers to end to end. I imagine he means encryption in transport as opposed to encryption at rest.

HTTPS is transport encryption. It's what keeps your bank account info from being intercepted in a usable state.

Reduction w/o elimination means weakening encryption. The advantage is that it can be easily broken by those who want to see what's inside.

His proposal would allow me (or countless bad actors) to decrypt data captures containing secure traffic, like your bank login. Strong encryption is the minimal method for preventing that.

I'm 60 and absolutely fine with the same sizes and basically the same cuts that I've worn for more than 40 years. If something starts squeezing, it's a timely reminder that I need to adjust some behaviour, not a signal to give in and upscale my wardrobe.
Costs continue. Mortgage payments continue, heat/water/electric bills must be paid, maintenance continues, legal wrangling over legit evictions (say, trashing the place) is costly. Cutting those costs can stabilize losses. Empty flats can be deducted from taxes as lost income. Other tax & accounting benefits may apply.

Part of the benefit of renting - for both parties - is ease of vacating.
Low-code platforms and Full-code developers – a match made in hell?
I think his biggest mistake is that he's focused so much on two issues that make it easy to paint him in a negative light. If I was a native Nigerian and some rich white guy started building abortion centres and injecting people with needles all over my country it would be easy to become skeptical.

If I were in his shoes I'd focus more on issues like education, improving basic utilities in urban areas, fighting corruption and enabling economies to expand.

I have no idea what i was thinking there.
H1N1 in 2009 may fit well with the ‘antigenic shift’ paradigm of influenza, where there is a reassortment of genes from different types of flu (which might both infect the same animal at once) that create a new hybrid to which there is little pre-existing immunity and which can be markedly virulent. This is classically in contrast with year to year ‘antigenic drift’ of the flu featuring small accumulated mutations that have tended to be less virulent. Both of these fit well with the random probability idea to some extent, but are very different mechanisms. I don’t know if people have tried to induce antigenic shift in a lab; probably not the safest idea.
Well documented json
I left the first argument of the equality type implicit, written fully it’s ==(0, X, rec_0(0, X)) since those terms are both of type 0.

The overall expression is shorthand for any term whose typechecking involves that type assertion. For example, type checking passing the term to the left of the colon to an identity lambda with argument type of the term to the right of the colon (λ(x: ==(0, X, rec_0(0, X))).x)(id(X)) will pass iff the left term’s type is right term.

I’m not talking about extensional type theories here (as Idris/MLTT is not extensional), so I don’t think I understand the relevance of the trace annotated proof. Idris will let you write the term I have above without any trace annotations so its typechecker must do something with it.

You’re right that a trace-annotated raw syntax doesn’t need normalization assumptions, but Idris is not trace annotated; the type checking algorithm is required to perform any normalization required without further direction from the user.

There's sorta like a "tree" of maintainers for each part of Linux -- with Linus at the top of the tree. When you make a patch for the kernel, there's a script you can run on the patch:

scripts/get_maintainer.pl

It'll output the appropriate subtree of maintainers who "own" the code in the kernel that the patch applies to. Then, you can email your patch to them. The maintainer will send the patch up the "tree" until (hopefully) it ends up in Linus' repo.
I last had an uncomfortably long commute in 2003. I had 4 or 5 routes I could take, varying from almost totally Interstate freeways to almost no freeways at all. There was a small mountain range in the way. So get to work there could have been a pass via a private dirt road, a variation I never tried. Instead I went around the mountain via a freeway. I definitely rotated through the many routes that led to that freeway, especially when I was rested. Also the freeway gradually extended during the time I worked at that place, which added variety. On the other hand some of the non-freeway parts were fairly cranky because some of them were not empty backroads, but shortcuts through fully populated suburbia. But some routes were empty and enjoyable.

Now I have a 9-mile commute and I am using the empty side of the freeway both ways. Sometimes I take a coastal byway on the way home if it's summer.

Alternative pov that may help your snobbery: There is not yet an Australian English standard; it is just British. Therefore, Australians are free to create our own standard using parts of the existing standards or innovations of our own.

In particular, you are not propagating our own tradition by strictly adhering to so-called Australian spellings, which are really British spellings. On the contrary, you are declaring linguistic subordination. At this stage, the best option is tolerance of diversity, not snobbery.

If you look at an American book that has an edition produced by an Australia publisher, it may have American spellings, but most Australian editions (i.e. British editions, since their publishers claim Australia as a dependency) use British spelling.

I'm also working with Brazilian instant payments schema, aka PIX. We've simply created a mapping layer to convert all ISO messaging to json.

Yes, but men’s fashion cycles run far longer than women, so we can buy higher quality clothing that lasts much longer. This also means custom clothing is very practical.
I deal with a guy, his family has a factory in India. All the grades of fabric, styles, etc, all made custom based on my measurements. A few weeks later, it arrives.
Most comfortable clothing available, and looks killer. He travels to me, or I go to his shop. Far better experience than retail and prices are less than off the rack and better quality.

Women’s fashions are much shorter cycle, so they are often made with terrible quality fabrics that are quite uncomfortable. Worse, custom clothing is very expensive and by time it arrives, the season is changing.

A use case that we often get asked about for Docker-in-Docker is using the outer container as a dev environment that includes a developer's tools, ssh, and a dedicated Docker (CLI + daemon). It gives sys-admins a lighter-weight alternative to VMs for launching those dev environments, and works well in scenarios where efficiency & cost reduction is important and having VM-level isolation is not required. The problem is that prior to Sysbox, those outer containers had to be privileged containers, which provide very weak isolation (e.g., it's possible to turn off the host from within the privileged container!). With Sysbox, those outer containers are now properly isolated via the Linux user-namespace, truly enabling this use-case.
I'm not really "offended" since I don't really care about the state of Linux kernel's log. But since you insist on the discussing the case so much, let me add that I'm a person with very low tolerance for humour in the working process. I like jokes in the chat, email, or even in bugtracker's comments for that matter, but the git log (or any change log, for that matter) must be very clean, clear and boring.

So even though I said

> I have no idea of what constitutes this Morton's work and if he could've done better

I very much believe that he could have. For 2 reasons:

1. There are multiple people with huge, broad, non-specific merges in that list, and every single one of them, did, in fact do better than Andrew Morton.

2. I believe that consistency in logs is good, so even in the case somebody really, truly, actually cannot say more, than just "updates" about the changes he introduces (which I don't think is ever true, but let's assume it is), I think "updates|updates|updates|updates" would still be a mile better, than "updates|more updates|yet more updates|still more updates".

Irrevocability- for consumer payments there will always be revocability. Humans doing stuff make mistakes, and need to be able to "take it back." At the ledger level, all transactions are irrevocable. You apply other transactions on top to implement recovability.

True, but it doesn't have the incredibly horrific non-carbon pollution problems of coal. The things almost every coal plant in the world does to nearby rivers would nauseate most people. Fly ash produced by coal plants releases one hundred times the radiation into the environment as a nuclear plant of the same capacity.
At least for me, they definitely are one of the valuable outputs of the development process.

Especially when looking back through older code to see "what did we change since X date?", and/or "what changed between (say) the 3rd and 5th of July?".

That seems to be a fairly standard thing too (from my perspective).
That is an unnecessary ad hominem.

There is nothing kneejerking about being against 'fast fashion'.

The fashion industry is the second-largest consumer of the world's water supply. [0]

The fashion industry produces 10% of all humanity’s carbon emissions. [0]

For comparison it produces more carbon than international flights and maritime shipping combined. [0]

The wastefulness of it all is even more dismaying. 85% of the world's textile production ends in a landfill every year.[0]

I agree that all the things in your list are as non-essential as the fashion industry but none of them (except maybe for the meat industry) have the business volume and carbon impact of the fashion industry as it currently operates. None of this is sustainable.

Yes. It’s important to emphasize that US infrastructure sucks because we have chosen to make it suck, not because fixing it is impossible or even difficult. “Identity theft” is a joke.
Gates is scared people are passing bad information through encrypted platforms such as whatsapp. Next, he will require 24/7 monitoring of every private citizen to make sure we don’t call him mean names.
You know, Snopes has said that running a fact checking organisation is incredibly difficult. It's easy to see why, you have to:

1) decide what the definition of truth is

2) differentiate between subjectivity and objectivity

3) differentiate between misleading and outright incorrect

4) investigate every piece of media thoroughly

5) avoid bias

6) peer review

7) correct any mistakes

And this list is just off the top of my head.

So what bill gates is saying is that you have to do all this at a scale of 1 billion users, all controlled roughly by a few centralised organisations. I think Bill's words are still kind of stupid even with context. The way to fight all of these problems has always been education, and social welfare, and things the government should ACTUALLY be doing, not vetting encryption schemes.
Internal IT support for a government agency here: there are times when I wish I could "fire" some customers, but it's not really possible. On the other hand, being part of the same organisation means that I can be (and have been) quite free with communication to the effect of: "That email tone is not appropriate. We are colleagues in the same organisation with our own set of priorities and demands, and we require to be treated with the same respect as you would."
Just to add to the list. My favorite manga was written by a woman (Full Metal Alchemist).

You have ignored the questioner's question. Why?

The fact that something has always been done is not a reason to do it again.
One thing I don't see mention regarding the existing US ACH (or whatever interbank) system is that there is absolutely no verification or security in this system. Just like verification of paper check signature and a whole lot of other financial items - most banks allow anything until questioned. The easiest and cost effective way is to let it happen and reimburse for failures.

1. I have linked a non-joint account in my name at bank A to another (non-joint) account of my wife at bank B (accidentally) without any verification of any kind. I call BS on anyone claiming they magically checked the home address link or know we are married.

2. I have walked in to my bank and did a wire transfer of a large amount without any kind of verification. They didn't check my ID. I am not kidding. I did enter my ATM card and PIN. Then why do they have a $500 or $1000 limit at ATM. If someone did get my ATM card and PIN, they just had to appear confident and walk in to the branch. This is one of the largest banks in the US.

3. Because my wife doesn't like to deal with customer service of various financial items (credit-cards, 401k etc). I regularly call and just say I am her (clearly feminine name) and the conversation carries on as if nothing is surprising/suspicious.

4. On the other extreme, IRS's "MyIRS" site let us authenticate yourself (first time setup) using a security question that allows one to type any financial account number. CC, Bank, 401k, whatever. I mean how tf did they get all that data on me? legally? Why does IRS need my CC number?

IMHO, the only thing keeping us secure is that nobody from outside US has really tried to mess around with US banks.
Yeah, there is an amazing amount of power to force adoption if the Fed tells banks, that to continue to be banks, they must adopt this data standard.
I agree - I have more expressive URLs on the roadmap. Thanks for the link.
