Interesting someone bought it on Steam for 50 EUR, given XBox Game Pass for PC subscription (despite the weird naming) lets you have it for a fraction of that price (together with a dozen other good names, e.g. the new Flight Simulator and Wasteland 3).

Welcome to modern macOS and Safari. It’s a good idea, but puts up a block to third part or open source software. For now you can right-click and override (who knows for how long before Apple wants 30% of the price of all your desktop software too). I’d be more okay with the Mac version if you could add custom chains of trust.

To those who say "I didn't choose to have children, why should I suffer / pay extra tax / not receive time off?" I have a simple response: you exist because you were born and cared for by society. Caring for children (which is what those parents are doing) is a societal cost.

We all know that Assange is going to be extradited to the USA. This trial is just a formality. I'm very disappointed in how my Australian government treated its citizen over the years in this whole debacle.
Most attempts to "fix open-source funding" - such as GitHub sponsors or OpenCollective are misguided. Bulk of the value of FOSS is being taken by corporates, not individuals. So expecting individuals to support the creation/maintenance of FOSS is futile. And corporates are RoI-driven. Charity will only go so far.

That's not so simple with the hypocrite named Epic who preach about competition being better for all while buying exclusive distribution rights from devs/publishers on PC, sometimes even for games that had been long announced to be coming out on Steam and/or were crowdfunded on that and other premises.

Case in point: "Satisfactory". I was pretty excited about the game when it was first shown, then found later

* it would be removed from Steam,

* I'd have to get an account for another store,

* use a store made by some incompetents who couldn't implement basic functionality like a "shopping cart" even months after release (does it have one by now?)

* give part of my money through Epic to fucking Tencent and install a piece of Chinese spyware on my PC in order to run it. Also no implicit Linux support because no Proton and because Sweeney loves to bend over for Microsoft exclusively.
You know what? I have a clever idea: the Diversity Standard 500 index, or just DS500. We have this SP500 index: a weighted sum of 500 companies into which everyone invests piles of money. The weights are carefully set by the index committee, which gives them outrageous power over the money flow. DS500 shares the same idea: a highly diverse committee would choose a weighted list of desirable traits, and the gov would use these weights to apply the tax code. From time to time the weights would be revisited to reflect the new trends.
Right now the German gas infrastructure can only handle a hydrogen content of around 10% or 20% with modest infrastructure upgrades. This is why there are projects where that hydrogen is further processed into methane at which point all of it is compatible with the existing gas infrastructure.
There's a massive difference between putting in extra hours when needed, and being expected to structurally put in those extra hours. The latter happens a lot, and is really not necessary, and in fact destructive. You don't get extra productivity from that.

Now if you want to sacrifice your own time to do some charity work to benefit your employer, there's nothing wrong with that in principle. But if the company rewards that, and more people start doing that, it could still become an unspoken expectation for all employees to put in those extra hours, and then we're back at the unhealthy working hours.

Wait until I introduce you to transrace theory.

Blobology [1] applied to black and white brains.

It is just running sed on the papers that talk about differences in male and female brains as a biological basis for being transgendered with r/male/white/g;r/female/black/g.

Sounds like something out of eugenics 101 when you start talking about racial brain structures instead of gendered brain structures.

This article is not corroborated by my real-world media experience at all.

Local stories are simple. That makes them more reliable. If it's newsworthy, then national, followed by international journalists will pick up on it and it becomes something big.

I don't want to give unnecessary details but I've been the subject of news stories multiple times, which always started in my humble local media. One time it led to a massive career opportunity that benefited me for ten years. The other time, I got significant international media attention which hugely boosted a charitable donation drive.

Each time, journalists at the national level picked up my local story and landed me attention at that level. So, yeah...something's wrong with this study or at least how it's been communicated by NeimenLab.

Also, local journalism is important. Let's not undermine that bastion of independence, free speech, and resistance to political censorship, fake news, or media corruption, shall we?

The simple solution to this is a law requiring that all general purpose computing devices (Lets define this as something that the user can install and run programs on) must provide a feature to run unauthenticated 3rd party software. Android, Windows and Linux already allow this and macOS used to.

IMO this should extend to game consoles too. You should be able to run homebrew games and tools on a console.

Taken from the Crown Prosecution Service guidance[0], which isn't gospel, but is usually a pretty accurate reflection of the law, the grounds the court must consider are:

- the conduct described in the warrant amounts to an extradition offence;

- any of the statutory bars to extradition apply;

- there is prima facie evidence of guilt (if applicable, see below);

- extradition would be disproportionate or would be incompatible with the requested person’s human rights.

The statutory bars to extradition, taken from the same document include whether the subject would face the death penalty.

It's not clear to me from this article which of the points of law above is being argued. Some of the testimony appears (or at least the reporting of it) appears to include an element of trying to demonstrate that the extradition is politically motivated. It probably is, but they'll have to establish one of the above specific points.

Note that I'm not claiming that the above points can't be established here - I'm just not seeing the direct link from the reporting on the case, in this article and others, to how they're attacking the legal aspect.

Why is that a given? And the UK could just hold him there indefinitely (also not good). They should really just let him go, with the option of going to the US trials at his own choice, which of course he won't.
The alternatives arent that people just dont use it, the alternative is are that people download some random executable that has much larger security vector, ie some electron app that has unlimited file system access.

> It is not downloading malware that is the issue, it's executing it.

That line is very thin. Local DLLs, application configs setting path to executables, even desktop.ini (https://threat.tevora.com/usb-drives-desktop-ini-and-ntlm-ha...) and that's before we get into NTFS alternative streams and other really out there ideas.

If you can choose which path you download to, the user has lost. Even if they never actively execute the file.

Same on *nix. If you can add something to bashrc, or drop a new file in desktop autostart, who cares about the executable bit.

And sometimes you can point out bad ideas without reading the spec. WebUSB was that kind of bad idea even before someone figured out exactly how they can read one time codes from security dongles that way. (https://www.yubico.com/support/security-advisories/ysa-2018-...)

You try to paint this as some ridiculous hypothetical proposition, but it's the status quo in most of the world. What are you even trying to say? Because there are ambiguous edge cases, countries shouldn't look after their own citizens first at all?

And US immigration policy favored Europeans, based exactly on shared ancestry, all the way up to the Hart-Celler Act of 1965. So for most of its history, this logic didn't sound alien to US ears at all, despite being a young country. It has abandoned it only relatively recently, paradoxically as it got older. In fact, with how often the US is still accused of xenophobia (despite immigration policies that will see its former 90% majority become a minority in a mere 24 years), I find it puzzling how you can make that statement in the first place.

260 million earned by Apple by charging the 30% commission on 116 million users means Apple received US$2.24 per user and then has to deduct all costs of running the App Store before a profit remains. And this is just for Fortnite, a profitable game.

All of the games and apps that are either not profitable or are free also need to be paid from the money earned on whales like Fortnite.

They now want Apple to serve 116 millions of users updates that usually run into the hundreds of megabytes for games without paying more than US$100 a year.

Epic runs it's own game store on 12% commission, but most of those games are paid and games are the biggest earners in any App Store, so only the most profitable category.

You can have UTF-8 with groff using the preconv [1] tool, just pass the "-k" or "-Kutf8" paramater. It will preprocess your source and replace Unicode symbols with its groff special character form. Of course, the built-in standard fonts do not support many glyphs but it is no big thing to use a more Unicode friendly font like DejaVu Sans or Noto, check [2].

So this is my setup using MOM macros for nice typesetting.

But I fully agree on your last point, in the end I seldom need the Unicode universe for most of my documents.

I have seen a lot of front-end developers who have no clue about the technical aspects of their work. They just use multi-megapixel images because 'they will look sharper'. When they need an icon from Font Awesome they just include the whole library. And because Bootstrap told them to do so, they nest as much DOM as possible.

I have seen websites where the homepage's HTML alone was over 1MB! in size. The only thing that got exited was my CPU.

Let me tell you: if you want a header with a background image where the text is aligned at the bottom you can just write:

<h1>My header</h1>

There is no need to write it as:

<div id="mainHeader"><div class="align-text-bottom"><h1>My header</h1></div></div>

And if you want to stick the header to the top you can use `position: sticky` in CSS instead of including a huge Javascript file that can do all kinds of fancy stuff you don't need.

But I am not sure I can blame those front-end developers. Deadlines are tight and it takes effort to learn about the technical aspects of front-end development.

My personal standard is that a page should be ready in 1 second. For huge sites 3 seconds max. I've been creating small and huge websites for over 20 years now and never had a problem with these goals. This includes webapps built with Javascript.
That's fair; "legality" doesn't really matter much on the international stage. A country can do whatever it wants up to the point where it gets crippled by sanctions, or loses a war.

But I think it's still correct to say that the US is not legally beholden to the ICC, just as any other country not party to the Rome Statute is not. It's a voluntary thing, and there are plenty of countries in the world with less might than the US that are non ICC members. If Rome Statute signatories could just flat-out decide what and what is not legal for everyone, that wouldn't be a great outcome for the concept of sovereignty.

> I'd say the US voters don't care about democracy or justice enough (otherwise the US politicians wouldn't dare do this, or pass the relevant laws).

I think that's an uncharitable view that paints with a way-too-broad brush. Mine is that US citizens do generally care about these things, but don't trust the idea of a foreign body having oversight in criminal matters. Sure, there almost certainly is some subset that believes that "those terrorists deserve what they get", and believe that due process should go out the window whenever someone utters the magic phrase "national security", and that's shameful.

> the suspected crimes were committed on party territory (Afghanistan; but also Poland, Romania and Lithuania; the latter three hosted the CIA black sites where prisoners were taken)

This is also interesting, though: has the ICC been investigating, and potentially prosecuting individuals in, Poland, Romania, and Lithuania for their part in allowing this stuff to happen on their soil? If not, why not? Seems like it would make sense for them to concentrate where the targets of potential prosecution are actually within their jurisdiction, no?

I agree that "if it is within my might, it is right" is reprehensible, but I don't think that explains the situation fully. I think it's reasonable to disagree with the ICC's implementation, and to want nothing to do with it, even if its intended mission is an honorable one.

Yer screen name is awesome. Highly recommend rolling your own home automation to the PDP11 and writing the control software in FORTRAN-IV (not sure if FORTRAN-77 runs on PDP11...the DEC version was called VAX FORTRAN...probably was back ported to the 11 though, since those were commonly used for interfacing with industrial machinery via GPIB/IEEE488 and relaying back to the VAX via DECnet, XNS/ITP, etc). You could do the same thing, replacing the VAX part with an rPi4 but I wouldn't use TCP.IP or WiFi or Zigbee or any of that garbage modern tech :)
According to this history written by one of the founders they were given a pre-release copy of Windows to get an early heads up on porting, but the engineers generally preferred to work with DOS:

In one of the Reddit comments about a service (PhilosopherAI.com) using the API outlining the possible total costs:

> That makes for 400 million tokens in 2 or 3 weeks, which puts me at like $4000/mo minimum

Oh dear, that means...

> Scale: Contact Us

So while they are using the API for free for now, by these metrics, they are least going to be soon having a running cost of at least $4K+/mo. That is an expensive toy. The same goes for AI Dungeon.

> App Store earnings will be used to cover OpenAI costs & develop new features. Thank you for your support.

Well I will be seeing a tsunami of complaints from OpenAI projects that they can't pay up for their "game changers" since they will be priced out quickly. OpenAI Wins, Everyone else loses.

If this is for simple projects, then I wouldn't dare build an entire startup based on someone else's API. OpenAI will win by default here.
Australia's providing no pressure to get him released. The US considers him enemy number one.

UK has no reason to not extradite him and something to gain from doing so.
How long has Assange been held without a public trial again?
Pretty sure I covered that with my original comment. Never said it was a good thing, and expressly pointed out that I don't believe it is.
Sadly, the extradition process from the UK to the USA is just a formality these days. The extradition treaty[0] is both somewhat one-sided and, crucially, changed the requirement to demonstrate a prima facie case (and actually examine some of the evidence even if not in huge depth) to a requirement only to demonstrate "reasonable suspicion" which is much weaker.

> Often this happens because we want only a small bit of the functionality too.

To be fair, this 'compiling' also allows for tree shaking, which if you use a well-structured library like lodash/date-fns etc, allows you to get that small bit of functionality without paying for the whole library.
> Most people have children.

Maybe because whilt that's true in general it is not true in the environments we talk about? Stats may be different in tech companies with very young workforce.
> i’d say free software died a while ago, and open source went horribly right.

It's rather the opposite. It's a slow grind, but slowly more free software is at the basis of things, due to its license nature and it growing more mature. At the same time I think the failure of open source software (if you can call it that ) was predictable and predicted long ago.

I am not sure you can call it a failure of open source, if open source never made sure, that some ideals are followed when using open source software. Perhaps we can talk about ideals and ideas in people's heads and what they thought open source was.

These are things that I have discovered to help me in different levels at different times through my growing up with ADHD

In reality the things that help me focus are typically things that modify my physical world. I listen to Long tracks of noisy hydrophone data. I wear isolating ear plugs underneath my headphones. I have a hat that I wear if I need to limit my visual range. I have an hourglass that I flip prior to starting any project. my keyboard lights in a breathing pattern to remind me that that is where my attention should be. I have clay for shaping things when I'm stressed out. I have a very large desk, like comically large. I have an overhead desk lamp that drones out shadows from my field of view.
