At least in the US, Netflix and Google/YouTube represent over 50% of web bandwidth use, I believe.

Somewhat old statistics here: https://www.cnet.com/news/netflix-youtube-gobble-up-half-of-... and https://thenextweb.com/apps/2014/11/21/netflix-now-accounts-... and https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2015/05/28... (all from Sandvine, mind you)

I would have to imagine that, also being a streaming video service, PornHub and the rest of MindGeek's properties consolidated probably take up another decent portion.

Those of us just posting on Internet forums, reading news, and sending emails use a tiny minuscule portion of Internet traffic comparatively. There's a reason ISPs want to charge extra/differently for high bandwidth streaming video: It's the vast majority of what's loading up their networks.
This is a puzzling decision on Discord's part, because they found the single line of code causing their problem and they didn't think to change that line of code for their own needs. Go distributions include the source for Go itself, so building your own Go binary with your own changes incorporated is dead easy. And, the change they needed is a single-line change, which means it's easy to bring that change forward as new versions of Go are released.

Discord: haha, no, that's silly! let's spend 100,000x more effort and rewrite it all in another language!

Now, before those of you who learned to argue on the internet extrapolate what I wrote and imagine that I wrote words I didn't write: I'm not saying that Go should never be abandoned for another language. I'm saying that this particular example of this particular choice puzzles me, because of the reasons stated, and ONLY the reasons stated.

A lobbyist accusing the other of lobbying. Quaint?

Your idea that blue light causes cataract is a misunderstanding at best or misinformation at worst. Visible spectrum in of itself doesn't ever cause or catalyze corneal cloudiness. You should probably read about Dr. Mani Bhaumik's work on optical physics and lasers, and how it led him to invent the Lasik Eye correction technique.

> It also affects sleep cycles which can cause fatigue and all sorts of strain on the eye and body.

You are directly quoting my article here, you know that right?

From your aggressive comments elsewhere on the forum, it appears that you are predisposed to behave like this. I wish you well.
Non American here. The only time I ever hear about "states rights" is in relation to racism or misogyny.

Are there actually valid useful reasons for the concept or is it time to ask what purpose they serve?
It really much depends on the individual case. In a constitutional state it should make a difference if obviously an encrypted volume is used or if there is the possibility but no certainty of one, two, three or four hidden volumes.
At the level of dollars being discussed, there's a strategic benefit to engaging in negotiations just to force the counter-party to raise their bid or force concessions. For example, it's suspected that Google famously did this against Verizon for the FCC Spectrum licensing [1].

So take Walmart: If they believed there's a 10% chance that Amazon might join the fray (to target younger demographics), then there's a good game-theoretic argument that Walmart should be at the negotiating table too.

I think that’s a stretch. There _is_ a line and OnlyFans is at the very least _on_ it.

While I am aware of the adult content on the site, the only people that I know of that use OnlyFans are subscribing to physical training, musical talent, or other creative content. Unironically.
> But based on the records they did have, the government estimated that Ngo’s service enabled approximately $1.1 billion in new account fraud at banks and retailers throughout the United States...

Krebs really should have pressed this issue. Law enforcement always inflates these numbers significantly. They use sentencing guidelines to arrive at "financial losses" that aren't real.

For those who aren't aware, US Federal Sentencing Guidelines are how federal courts determine what punishment someone will receive. In many types of crimes they don't use true loss values because it would be very hard or impossible to determine. Instead they assign a fixed amount per instance.

For example, a single stolen credit card number may be considered $500 in fraud, even if the card was never used by the person being sentenced. I don't know if this is the current amount but it was 15 years ago when I was sentenced.

If someone has a database of 1000 credit card number they hacked, the court considers it to be $500,000 worth of fraud.

It makes sense in small cases but in larger ones like this it vastly inflates the amount of actual fraud.
For the subscription model to be palatable to your consumer, they need to perceive you as providing some kind of meaningful ongoing value.

In the case of Netflix that's obvious - new shows. Dropbox is a little more annoying, but there's still the premise the cloud component is fundamental to how their service works.

"Daily admission to the software I installed" doesn't feel like much in the way of value, even if you are continuously investing into the product behind the scenes. The equation can even become negative (e.g. forced UI revamp, user hates it, now they feel like you're charging them to make their life worse).

I get the cashflow appeal and business arguments, but I disagree it's the only way. I sold software online with a small bootstrapped team for over a decade under the plain old "buy it once" model, resisting the subscription fad even when the MBA's pushed to go that route, and made it work. My customers were always happy to buy the major version upgrades (every couple years or so) because it was really clear what new value they were getting.
There is some ongoing work towards custom allocators for containers in Rust std. [1]

Right now you could also go no_std (you still get the core library, which does not contain any allocating data structures) and use custom containers with a passed in allocator.

Zig is definitely a cool language, and it will be interesting if they can come up with good solutions to memory management!

But sentences like these in the documentation [2] would make me prefer Rust for most low level domains (for now):

> It is the Zig programmer's responsibility to ensure that a pointer is not accessed when the memory pointed to is no longer available. Note that a slice is a form of pointer, in that it references other memory. ...

> ... the documentation for the function should explain who "owns" the pointer

You know you can just restrict output when there’s too much renewable energy? As it’s so cheap, this isn’t an issue, the issue in Germany is a regulatory problem they have got themselves in which is understandable given this is a new technology. Having wider inter connectivity of grids will help reduce these occasions too. And the major wind developers are looking into things like pumped storage, and electrolysis of water into hydrogen etc. Having too much energy isn’t the issue we’re facing right now, it’s being too dependent on fossil fuels. Less than 10% of energy worldwide comes from wind and solar - why are you worrying about the world not being able to be 100% renewable? By the time we get even halfway close, technology will have developed to a point that’s hard to foresee now. It’ll be ok to use up some natural gas for energy for example, especially if the carbon is captured and stored. Plus we have so many great natural carbon capturers like trees as it is. I don’t think it’s the case that proponents are withholding these problems, I just don’t think they are as big of an issue as you suggest, and they are categorically not as big of an issue as climate change.
Mushrooms (and mycelium) can perform similar operations.

Some fungi can accumulate and translocate heavy metal ions and radioactive isotopes out of a system by drawing them into their mycelia network, where they eventually accumulate in the fruiting body (actual mushroom) and can be removed.

These fungi also produce many metabolites which can increase the solubility of certain metals via reduction, methylation, or dealkylation reactions with the metals.

The mycelial network can also be used as a filter to bind to certain heavy metal ions in contaminated water, where they eventually get chelated, adsorbed and entrapped in the fungal fell wall. The company VTT Technical developed a process and was able to recover 80% of the gold produced through the processing of old cell phones and other electronic waste.

Seth is always pithy and thus leaves a lot of room for interpretation, but I do find this an interesting prompt.

"Hard" is, of course, very subjective and depends a lot on the person and the project. What's hard for me may not be hard for someone else due to skillset, personal risk, time pressure, mindset, etc. and vice versa.

What's created hard work for me in the course of founding a startup is constantly balancing delivery timelines against a lack of resources and deep skills on the team. Having to invent my way out of situations I'm not technically qualified to handle where there is real risk to the business in being wrong or late has been harrowing, but also a very effective way to grow my skillset.
My best comparison would be to a fine-tipped rollerball pen (like the Pilot Precise), on rough paper.

I don’t tend to press down very hard, but I don’t really think about it as I’m writing.
The use of an Interface type in Go is a good sign that either the data or the logic flow isn't optimized for static analysis and optimizations.

The most common case I happen to have run across is the result of parsing data or configuration files; situations where there might be structure, but all of it is optional.

PS: Your "algebraic data types / sum types" sounds very much like interface composition, a ReaderWriter ( E.G. https://golang.org/pkg/io/#ReadWriter ) for example composes interface types.
Yeah that is true. I guess in the end you still have to trust the site unless it uses the stripe hosted checkout.
I like my ReMarkable 1. I want to love it...but I'm not quite there yet. The company keeps focusing on improving the note-taking and drawing aspect of the device (which is awesome now!) but they haven't improved the reading experience to nearly the same degree. Reading eBooks, PDFs, etc is an acceptable experience, but there are many UX improvements they could make.

That said, they have been releasing updates for years and improving the experience. The writing experience is by far the best of any tablet I've ever personally used. It does feel like writing on paper. The 2.0 looks really slick.

Finally, the hackability of the device is awesome. You can SSH to it without having to enable any special settings, and start messing around with stuff right away.
Is there a resource that explains what const functions are and why you would use them?

I'm guessing you're OK with these, and maybe it's just negative opinions that are irrelevant?
In the 90s many sites didn't ask for CVV, including AOL. And many gas station receipts printed the entire credit card number. And that's how some kids got online in the early-mid 90s...
I submitted with a hesitant title because I'd genuinely love to know, and I'm surprised there isn't more concrete info on this that's readily available. My strong suspicion is that they don't, and 9to5mac editor has chimed in on twitter saying: "Definitely feels muddy, but think Apple is probably considering FB ads as part of the 'outside goods and services' category. Guideline 3.1.5a makes apps use direct payment for those".

If that explanation is true ^, then it's pretty rich, because Apple recently aimed to get 30% of virtual experiences offered through Airbnb. How would those not be considered "outside goods and services" when they involve people outside the app providing goods and services? [0] Others are saying Apple doesn't see it as an "in app purchase"; however, I can click "Place Order" for an ad in the iOS app... I'd call that an in-app purchase! Can all companies let you buy digital stuff within the app with non-Apple payments or in a bill-you-later manner? Just ads?

Almost certainly there have been behind-closed-doors discussions on this, as the line has been arbitrarily drawn (either way) to include/exclude this massive company from the 30% tax. Indies don't have the same clarity on the rules; for example, Marco Arment's app Overcast sells ads, but doesn't complete transactions in the app because he was worried he'd need to give up 30%. Like with Apple's quiet program that let Amazon and a couple other token companies get a separate deal on content-app rules [1]: how can small companies on the store know when to press Apple on some rules and not on others (without retaining lawyers)?

It's just baffling because Facebook has recently whipped up quite a stir [2] around Apple requiring 30% of creator revenue, yet none of the articles mention this point about Facebook ads getting/not-getting a 30% tax for (probably the better part of) the past decade ... their bread and butter!

Furthermore, Facebook is whining about Apple making IDFA tracking opt-in on iOS, yet this company has benefited HUGELY from the fact Apple didn't do that from the start AND somehow decided not to charge 30% on its ad buys on mobile.

We already know mass-automation of morals is problematic (see YouTube, Twitter, Facebook et al's attempts).

This is different. On Facebook, Twitter etc is that they're trying to use AI to automate detecting general speech. That's a hard problem. PRs and comments on GitHub aren't really general speech, which simplifies the issue, and GitHub already has access to billions of legitimate PRs to use as a dataset for training. It is at least worth exploring.

I'll also add that while I think such an automated system should be opt-out by default for public repos there absolutely should be an opt-out if people want to use one.
Is it still true that he’s behind on paying his taxes?
The premium probably comes largely from labor costs. US electricity is similarly expensive, averaging 0.12USD/kwh.
The cost of nuclear reflects the fact that toxic waste you can't see, smell or taste is scarier in the minds of the public so we insist upon far more government involvement and rigor in the construction of nuclear plants and insist they pay their decommissioning costs up front. Dare I say nuclear's costs are internalized whereas other modern manufacturing's costs are externalized.

Does Apple take 30% of all ad revenue from any app?

Lazy troll is lazy. You don't need to store your entirely yearly production. You need to store the difference between your daily production peak and your daily demand peak, and you only need to store it for that fraction of the day.

Try harder, please.
Yes, and? thisisliff said what the per-capita numbers said; do you dispute them?
Regardless of its categorization, it also seems like accepting revenue from Facebook ads would be the antithesis of Apple’s stance towards customer privacy.
> You don't get to ignore states rights just because they aren't particularly popular.

Wouldn't it be possible to define all police misconduct a federal crime?

> Also, look into "regulatory capture". Independent bodies tend toward becoming very cosy with those they're supposed to be monitoring.

This happens to regulations of commercial activity because industry has a lot of incentive to lobby the regulators. Local police departments don't have much resources to lobby government agencies.

At the very least investigations performed by a external party would be less partial than those performed locally.
I have the Onyx boox 3 with 13.3" screen, so I can read conveniently programming and math books and paper (wanted the big screen especially for papers).

Their audience. If journalists are forcefully accompanied by government officials, their journalism can be influenced. This irreparably taints the integrity of their work in a way that is often unacceptable to their audience.
The technical reason was bank fraud for all the shell corporations they set up in the process. The bank claimed they had no idea they were all related, even though every application had the owners name on the paperwork.

To be clear, it was a bad company. However, the bank 100% knew what was going on and the merchant accounts 100% knew what was going on. So long as they were making money, and chargebacks make them a lot of money, they were happy. In my opinion the people running the company were just naive enough to not know how to cover their asses as well as the money guys.

I use weechat without the user list and with the channel list taking up exactly 1 line of space. The default theme for TheLounge is certainly more. You can hide the side-bar with the channel list by hitting the hamburger button, and hide the user list by hitting the people-icon button.

That being said, I think the whitespace between the lines was the complaint (IIRC the default is a line size of 1.4 and 3px padding)

With a little CSS I eliminated the WS, and here's a screenshot with the two sidebars hidden:

I still find the Typescript compilation time to be annoying. I rediscovered using Typescript for backend development on NodeJs and was very unpleasantly surprised by the compilation time (my only complaint).

For a project with 20-30 files and around 8 dependencies, it took 10-20 seconds to compile and 4Gb of RAM (yes I checked with tsc --listFiles that no other files were parsed).

The same in Go to compile to native would probably take <5s in my experience!
Quite an interesting question. The Android GPU Inspector[1] is a desktop GUI/CLI developer tool that's written mostly in Go, but also has a bit of client/server architecture internally so I don't know how you would count it.

I ordered my remarkable2 yesterday. Wrt sheet music, Not exactly what you were talking about but there was a great app called jammit that did something similar --playing along with sheet music with existing songs, and either isolating the instrument or muting it. The app just disappeared one day and the community reverse engineered the app and you can still get it under the facetious name "crammit" on Mac and windows. I found it very helpful to learn drum set notation.
That's the one. The nasal rinse stuff comes from studies I've read years ago, if you want I can dig them up.

The better question is: Why isn't Apple charging? Because Facebook's users have migrated to mobile over the years. Facebook's users aren't advertisers (per se, most people have a FB account), but surely some of Facebook's ad sales are done via iOS.
In United States it costs 399$ or 337 Euro, but if I buy it in Germany, then it will cost 399 Euro - 20% more expensive...

In United States you make so much more money as a software developer comparing to Europe and then you pay much less than in Europe for all electronic devices. This is probably because Europe decided to go the communism way, charging everyone with INSANELY HUGE TAXES. Europe will soon become the next Africa with that kind of mindset.

> Radioactive waste with half lives of tens of thousands of years is by definition not particularly radioactive

Sure plutonium-239 with half life of 24,000 is not particularly radioactive, neptunium-237 has half live of more than 2 million years, both are extremely dangerous to humans for multiples of that time.

Half live is not directly related to the level of damage gamma decay can do to you. Elements are perfectly capable of emitting hazardous amounts of radiation for thousands and millions of years time.

We cannot barely build a phone to last 3 years, The incentive to not create problems for future generations is simply not there. If it was, we would doing a lot more for pollution and plastics and the mass extinction event we are currently causing.

It sounds like Apple is trying to close a loop hole around paying the 30% for app purchase. For example, you could make the app "free" but then unlock with in-app purchase, which would skirt the 30% fee.

I think Apple is absolutely abusive and I would love for that to be stopped, but this doesn't sound malicious to me on the surface.
