This is not propaganda. It's a real problem that threatens the very idea of a civilized country, and innocent people's lives (not their livelihoods, their actual lives) are at risk. People are scared.

Counter-point, most respectable economists said that the 2017 Trump tax cut was a bad idea, it was too expensive and helping the wrong people. Fast forward to this year, and now the deficit is ballooning due to said tax cut, leaving the government very little wriggle-room.
Can you also in a nutshell tell me/us how the 'Always connected. Remains connected to IRC servers while you are offline.' works? Can't find much on the site itself, and tbh don't want to scroll the source code.
And here's a link to a video of David Beth, the Kenosha sheriff mentioned in the article, saying some things that you'd expect to hear from an anti-Semitic speech from 1930s Germany:

It's quite relevant to the infiltration of white supremacists into the police force that the article points out.
I feel the same way about this discussion. Yes, it has negative effects, but it also promise some very good positive effects.
Got it, that makes sense. It reminds me of the email list interface in Gmail, and how even at the "compact" setting, there is still too much space.

I think with thelounge the problem can be solved with some custom CSS ( which thelounge supports adding ). But this is not a very user-friendly option.

Funny enough, just like at a previous online book company I worked at, the problem can also be solved by a greasemonkey script :p
Yeah these crazy hateful white supremacists are burning and looting US cities.
> Apple is fixing this in iOS 14. It allows you to give an app access to only approximate location.

I would rather have the ability give a custom location instead.
Apple does not provide viable iOS upgrade paths that permit charging. Muse 2 would have to be a separate app, and that would run into issues with “local first”.

Muse would also not receive the purchases it needs if it had an up-front cost of $60 or more (which is what a typical app would cost on the Mac).
if it could store the gathered energy, yes... otherwise, winter is quite difficult; you'd have to overpanel probably something like 10x or more. the arctic circle still presents a problem.

Here I am waiting for a Type-C from them. Yet they claim that’s a good thing. What utter bullshit.
For fun I went ahead and wrote a little javascript to calculate the sequence. I realized that a lot of work would end up repeated as soon as you encountered an earlier number again (it's directed-graph traversal, really), so it records the ones that it's solved and bails out when it finds them again (denoted by the ->). You can paste the following into your browser console to get a feel for what it looks like.

let memo = {}

function conjecture(n) {
let str = "";

while (n !== 1) {
str += n + " ";

if (memo[n] != null) {
str += "->";
return str;
} else {
if (n % 2 === 0) n = memo[n] = n / 2;
else n = memo[n] = n * 3 + 1;
}
}

str += n + " ";

return str;
}
function rangeTo(end) {
return new Array(end).fill(null).map((_, i) => i + 1)
}

for (const n of rangeTo(1000)) {
console.log(conjecture(n))
}

A neat thing is that this terminates (at 1) for seemingly every number you try (I disabled console-logs and the process terminated for every number up to a range of 10,000,000, which is as high as I tested). It's just the formal proof that missing. There also seems to be a vague pattern to the results, but that may just be cloud-pictures.

For what an anecdote is worth, even back in the ‘90s my dad was telling me how the speed of light dictated the shape of supercomputers.
The way the article is written is definitely trying to push a single side. For example, they mention the kid in Kenosha that killed two people, but leave out the part where he shot them because they were attacking him, which is clearly visible in the video.
I'm slightly astonished (have been for a while) at the fact that no-one (as far as I know) have developed a Guitar Hero style e-ink sheet-music reader. Imagine how much easier you'd make life for kids learning how to play music! Software and hardware wise, it's got to be well within the realm of feasibility.

Thank you for that really insightful blog post. A very thorough takedown of that poor documentary.
I know a case (second hand) where they migrated from a Java backend to Go, then had to roll it all back to Java because it was too hard and error prone to maintain. This is a very successful business, not a startup. No idea why they felt they had to migrate to Go in the first place.

I'd rather not mention the company, even though I did not work there.
> The US is much larger than France of course, but whatever the reason, it's incredible and really upsetting that they can pollute the earth like this, and for the rest of eternity, just to solve a temporary domestic problem.

Temporary domestic problem? It's a problem worldwide, the fact that France can get fast ADSL almost everywhere doesn't means it's true worldwide.

Wireless has the advantage of not needing a huge infrastructure locally, which is a huge help where you don't have any. I remember a presentation from Charles Sirois, one of the guy that brought cellular networks to Quebec. He told us how he helped build some cellular networks in some place where they didn't even have phones. Sure I have no doubt it wasn't easy to build theses towers, but it was certainly much easier than bringing cable to every single building. Every business had cellphones afterward, it was a huge boom, it helped develop so many industry.

Now imagine the same but with freaking internet. This is going to be a huge boom for so many third world countries.

But no you are right, France can pay to lay fiber everywhere, theses third world country should just do the same, they are just not trying enough.
Absolutely by design. The founder is a prominent Linux community member.
Generally speaking, C# relies on either third-party implementations like http://www.omnisharp.net or Microsoft distributions, which on Windows is largely distributed via Visual Studio Downloads page, including the Tools for Visual Studio package: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/ Are there other releases of msbuild, for example? Yes: https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/releases But are they separate from releases of Visual Studio? No, as the release notes indicate. If you want to live on the bleeding edge of .NET development -- and I do recommend this -- you'll end up in the Preview channel of Visual Studio: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/preview/ and if you want to use Visual Studio Code instead, welcome to OmniSharp or similar "mostly compatible" solutions. It's totally fine until it's not, and it's definitely not portable or open enough -- yet. I look forward to the day when Visual Studio is fully open source because they can include subscriptions on top or something. That'll be the day when VS and VS Code could begin to merge a bit, at least for development on Microsoft platforms. But that hasn't happened yet, and they're rebuilding Visual Studio in Eclipse on other platforms to better support cross-platform development the same way Rider supports other platforms for JetBrains IDEs. It's a stop-gap until the fully-open-source versions of VS and VS Tools are finally available. I suspect they're waiting for .NET 5 or later, at this point...

They're undoing the split between Core and .NET Framework by suggesting that they'll ship both within .NET 5 using shims or implementations of drop-in replacements for .NET Framework code to use. Imagine if after dropping Python 2 support there was a mode that scanned for Python 2 code and enabled it again, on a file-by-file basis, to work with newer Unicode strings using some kind of translation layer in the runtime. That's kind of what's happening here, I think, but maybe more lightweight than suggested. Legacy .NET Framework code still deprecated, but interoperability libraries will ship as part of the runtime or SDK, will have some amount of shims available. I haven't followed the details closely enough to say more than this, though. I last looked into it a few months ago.
Yota the carrier is still going strong though. I would've noticed if it went bankrupt because that would've left me with no service. You meant Yota Devices.
I'm still baffled that some people, even here, think this is all made up propaganda from the West. Despite tons and tons of evidence. Kind of reminds me of how it must have been with people in denial about the early Nazi concentration camps, and Holodomor. I'm not saying this is as brutal as what the Nazis did (at least as far as we know,) just drawing parallels to the pure denialism or marking it up as pure exaggeration.
Is your config file publicly available? I'm experimenting with nixos on server and thinkpad. I was thinking about using/learning opnsense.
Boox devices are also very accessible as the run Android and you can install anything on them either from the Play store (requires manual setup at first) or F-droid, along with the usual adb access. I have the Nova Pro which I absolutely love. It has configurable screen refresh rates so it's possible to use a web browser with scrolling. You can install your favourite file sync app. Lately I've been using KDE connect to send/receive files. Writing on it is good and the notes app supports OCR that I found can make reasonable sense of my chicken scratches.

+1 on that. I had to use a Win10 machine with Chrome. And stupid Chrome has default to open PDF files, while my machine downloads the PDF.

This isn't true at all. Google still runs a lot of backend on Java, for example.
You are very much not alone here. Especially on portable devices.

People are very much attracted (I would say addicted) to bright shiny colors. Device manufacturers know this and thus glossy screens are the norm.
If it detects you are feeling down and you visit Amazon.com, it could show you an ads for example "Feeling down? Treat yourself to foo"

I played around with Go a while ago, and while I appreciated the approach to concurrency, I was really put off by both the boilerplate + how primitive the type system felt. Not having map and filter due to lack of generics meant writing for loops all over the place just to filter and modify arrays. Appending elements to slices felt clumsy. The type system didn't feel expressive, and I often found myself having to resort to the empty interface escape hatch.

Compare this with Typescript (or Swift, or Rust), which have type systems capable of modeling nearly any problem domain. Go doesn't have algebraic data types (sum types) which are incredibly useful in my experience (Swift/Rust enums, Typescript discriminated unions). I'm honestly not sure why I would use Go over TS, unless performance was my primary consideration. It feels like Go was designing to be as inoffensive as possible to a legion of new-grad Google programmers, and you sacrifice most modern language niceties for it. Please convince me I'm wrong, because I really wanted to like Go.
(Small copy past error here, you posted the same link twice.)

Regarding https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/5998 here we're exactly in the realm of C, changing the allocator with a custom one with additional bookkeeping to check for memory management issues. But it tanks performances so you can't generally use it for production (and if you were in a situation were you'd do it anyway, you'd be better off with completely automatic memory management: AKA a GC).
There's a language to UIs that evolves over time. The menu hamburger, the on/off circle with a line. Take those back a decade or more and you would have the same problems, but eventually they percolate through people's experiences and expectations and you can rely on people knowing what they are now, for the most part (it helps that the on/off icon is used for physical devices too).

Pull down for search is something that it maybe Apple is trying to cement (and only for mobile, I guess?), but hasn't crossed (and maybe won't) to Android devices. Apple is known for doing stuff like this and pushing changes, sometimes it takes, sometimes it doesn't (e.g. no floppy in laptops, no CD-ROM in laptops, no Mic jack, etc)
Holding out for a larger version
I'm not American so I have a more dispassionate take on things I guess. I've watched a lot of the videos and honestly, so many of them are just blatantly egregious use of force - something even cops in my third world country would refrain from. Shooting people should be the action of last resort yet it's almost the first thing they do.

No one should have to die because they didn't comply perfectly with an order. That's just insane.
You should tell them to judge mythological sex toys not by the color of their skin, but by the context of their character.
The fall guys: why big multiplayer games almost always collapse at launch
People usually spend more when they are at either end of the emotional spectrum. They are very happy, why not splurge, they are really upset, why not make themselves feel better by buying something. Many people use spending as a form of self medication, credit card companies and retailers love them for that.

I view it as a predator/prey relationship with Amazon/CC being the predators and I being the prey. Why would I give them more information on my intentions and vulnerabilities then I have too? These companies don't exist to make my life better, they thrive when they extract as much of my money from me as possible, whether to my own benefit or detriment.

Quoted directly from the report itself. More fear, uncertainty and doubt to stir the pot. The author also resigned from the FBI as a whistleblower unrelated to this topic, so it seems he has a bit of an axe to grind.

It’s infiltration because they’re doing it to further their aims by subverting those* of organisations they’re joining. The Internet means that planning and radicalisation can happen without ever being explicitly targeted by organised extremists. Hence self-infiltration much like the Islamist terror attacks carried out by self-radicalised people.

* - Nominally at least.
I'm delighted you like it! I should have bookmarking up and running sometime this weekend. Thanks!
Wow, this is hysterical! A bank saying no to honest money because it’s sex toys, not even that, because it’s sex toys looking like human genitalia, — no not even that, because the toys are skin colored!

Raw TCP/UDP Sockets from JavaScript in Chrome
I had similar feelings when I was hired to write in Go about 3 years ago. Coming from Java where everything (including the kitchen sink) was available for import, it took some time to re-adjust my mindset of having to seek out libraries and thoroughly vet them.

After a while, I kinda started to dig having to do it. You end up having a more personal connection with the dependencies you pick which makes it easier to contribute back upstream.

The one downside of being around in this stage of a language's ecosystem development is you can potentially get some pretty undesirable fragmentation.

A good example that comes to mind is one of the original Go library to interact with Zookeeper. There's like 6 maintained forks of that library due to the original author bowing out of maintaining it.
> by your cavalier attitude

I’m literally a cavalier so that’s fine by me.
Does anyone have any opinions on this vs. the Sony Digital Paper?
Requiring sign is a deal breaker for me as well. What happens is that a year from now I may want to use your application but will inevitably be on a new/different device and will have forgotten the email and password I used to create the account.

Why add friction when it is obviously not necessary. Using the app without an email should be a primary workflow. Adding a temporary “try offline” mode is insufficient imo.

That being said if you have to require sign in Sign in with Apple is definitely the way to go.
It was far worse then, as copper places serious upper limits on long-distance high-speed transport. Data transmission latency of copper tends to be 2X that of light (physical bounds, not empirically observed), and making very long cables with copper is impractical due to signal losses. Once long fiber was cheaply available people started to use that for the long links (imagine a toroidal mesh with wrap-around links- the wrap-around links are very long (100+m) and need to be fiber).

However, long fiber causes latency problems- those wrap around links will slow do any global reductions you need to do.
Settings uses this API, so whatever it's doing.
>Microsoft did buy LinkedIn and Skype, they don't seem in any way integrated in what it does (in fact, doesn't Microsoft undercut its own Skype app with Microsoft Teams?).

Microsoft has LinkedIn loosely tied to other Office 365 products now. When you hoover over a name, it'll show you whether the person is on LinkedIn, or that they have _x_ possible matches.

They also have a resume assistant integrated to Word, and have some data linking to LinkedIn if you so choose.

It was certainly an expensive purchase, but the premium tools and access to employee information may have also been valuable in terms of benchmarking objectively how good an employee's background is for a job or compared to their peers. I don't know how powerful the employer side of LinkedIn is for this type of work.
