A lot of the time I see these build systems try to solve a few issues:

1. Dependency handling

2. Single script for multiple platforms

3. Easy for a new user to just "run"

But I have yet to find a build system (for C/C++) that solves all these issues better than simply having a few scripts.

I use just a build.batch, linux_build.sh and osx_build.sh usually and I have never had problems.

A new user can just download those scripts, and as long as they haven't tampered with file/library locations it just works.

If people like their build systems - fine by me - but I just think they are unnecessarily complex a lot of the time. Granted I don't have a huge project with 100's of dependencies, but even then, those dependencies don't come all at once.

Not defending their actions, but just throwing your hands up and saying the system is broken (and implying the system should be replaced wholesale)isn't productive either. Why not start first by fixing the specific pain points in this system that lead to this scenario rather than replace it and see where that gets you. I feel like democrats have a very deconstructionist perspective these days towards nearly everything. When I do my job I don't start by saying the internet is broken and needs to be replaced. I think sometimes we need to balance our idealism with a couple doses of pragmatism.
The one that used reverse image search on Bing is so deliciously relatable.

On the one hand, it's perfectly built to spec and satisfied all requirements given by the customer.

On the other hand, you know it's incredibly fragile, and that the customer actually wants something different.
Shouldn’t all three bear some fault? The big company for not proactively supporting their staff to report (e.g. benefits), the pilot for doing something ethically wrong, and the regulatory body for encouraging the broken system?

Over the course of these hearings, the "live link" has had a habit of breaking up or otherwise become unavailable at short notice, as Craig Murray has reported.

This might be entirely coincidental, but regardless, I can see why observers would find it not adequate.
The tarpit approach is a double-edged sword. Sure, you're keeping some script kiddie's machine locked up (maybe), but you're also keeping socket connections open and wasting resources on the machine they are targeting. A much more efficient approach is using fail2ban and a firewall to just drop traffic from offenders.
The kid dressed up like the monopoly man in the background was a welcomed surprise.
Need to redefine courtship culturally in the western world and we can make it work, that's the biggest friction with having young adults back home. It used to be, and in many cultures it is still true, that the parents were heavily involved in that process, but the western world moved away from that dynamic.

The audio quality of the medialink has been reported to be so poor quality that for long stretches nothing but static is sent out. There is a limit on how much independent observation that amnesty can do in such conditions, and it gives a massive loophole for other regimes if amnesty would tolerate it.

While the law hasn't changed, the prosecution policy has. USG had not charged the NYT, WP etc. with criminal publication of the Pentagon Papers, and of the many leaked classified data published before and since. A consistent change in the policy (prosecuting the NYT and its individual journalists and editors, and not just Assange) would have a huge impact on politics. An inconsistent change, successfully prosecuting but only charging the journalists that the current government finds inconvenient, would have a different but also huge impact.
And this is why, I won't touch Debian anymore. I get enough BS politics and fief building to deal with elsewhere, and if I really want a Debian package, I'll pop the .deb open, and adopt it to my system conventions.

I'm not sold on Debian's "maintainer knows best" attitude. You are not there to make decisions for the community, you are there to ensure the tools people use and want maintained are.

As soon as you lose sight of the "servant" mentality when sitting in a position of authority is about the time a defenestration is in order. The attitude of the maintainer in light of the obvious interest in that feature in that thread, the GR last year, and the lack of any justification whatsoever on the technical merits of the fix, combined with the gall of asserting the project is maintained is ridiculous. I'm legit angry now. If you can't be arsed to do your job, then stop. Stop detracting from the addition of code required to adapt something to work for a wider user base without good contextual justification, which was not provided.
All of that can be regained for a price. Remember I'm being supplied with an arbitrary large budget. There are a lot of manufacturing experts in the US working for the likes of GM who still make things here, if I hire half of them away (for a nice pay raise) I can make all the pieces of the puzzle I need.

Have they fallen generally, or has the highest tax band fallen?

Germany had the highest tax rate > 50%, it's now 42/45%. At the same time, the income required to be taxed at that rate hasn't changed with inflation, so while it was e.g. 52.152€ in 2002, it's 57.051€ now - adjusted for inflation, it would have to be closer to 75k€.

Lowering the top marginal tax while not adjusting for inflation so more people get pushed into higher tax brackets from below is great if you're rich, but shit if you're not.
I guess I have a minority view, but when were they not?

Steve Jobs was famously toxic (which is just popular term to describe someone with a cluster B personality disorder, aka "psychopath"). But he dresses like a rock star and creates beautiful things and so everybody is willing to forgive him.

This is kind of like the abused spouse who, after decades of abuse, finally realizes he or she was making excuses for a psychopath all along. Just file for divorce and get it over with. The abuser will make sure it's a horrible experience for you, but you'll be happier in the end.

Is there a real difference between video-link access, and being physically present in this case?

From all the reporting, including Craig Murray's (who's in the public gallery and definitely not on the government side in all this), it seems like the controversial aspects of the trial are based on what's being said in the courtroom rather than physical actions in the courtroom.

Is there a suspicion of physical foul play that needs to be monitored and/or guarded against here rather than legal, evidential, or procedural foul play?

Sort of implicit in the article seems to be small body size too. Before the extinction event, there were a lot of ceratopsids which were beaked, but also quite large. It's not great to have a big body when you're trying to survive for years in a climate where little actual food exists.

Anyway, my problem with the argument is that some mammals obviously survived. Why? We had worse lungs, roughly the same amount of protection against the cold as many small dinosaurs... so what gives?

If Congress cuts Google into pieces, they should be consistent and set some sort of maximum market value (as a percentage of US GDP).

That way, once companies reach a certain size, they can expect a split.

I actually think this would be good for society, because it would shuffle things up consistently to force new ideas.
Also, smaller companies can grow more effectively, so the stock market should enjoy that as well.
The whole point of this device is that more people will have access to a real working system and they can improve the software ecosystem. This is how these devices can move from "toys" into real alternatives to Google and Apple products.

The FSF GNAT version, in contrast to the AdaCore GNAT version, comes with the RLE (see https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gcc-exception-3.1.de.html). This means that the code generated from closed-source Ada applications may be linked with the runtime library included with FSF GNAT without GPL violation. With the runtime library included with the AdaCore GNAT this is not true. So in practice you have to use FSF GNAT for closed-source applications unless you're willing to pay for the AdaCore GNAT. This is mainly an issue if you need to compile for a processor architecture for which there is no FSF runtime library.
Watched the video, and there was just a random guy dressed up with a mustache and top hat sitting behind the camera during the entire hearing?

Very, very funny considering it took TWO crashes for people to start bringing out pitchforks.
>> I try to avoid exotic hardware components

My exotic hardware can only run on linux (wifi hacking dongles, SDR bits, very old data devices). One of the big reasons I switched to linux as a kid was so that I could play around with tools that windows hates, like enabling monitor mode on a wifi card.
And if the allocation fails (stack overflow) one can re-execute the same function with a smaller allocation size.
I'm not sure which ecosystem you are referring to (golangs or the package itself) but it seems like there are plenty of existing ecosystems chugging along even though they do, in fact, treat the two versions as the same thing.

Not saying its right or wrong, but clearly it is not a death sentence.
I like it!

There is just one thing I'm missing from Gnome which is the white dot on top of the time signifying there is an unread notification. With Material Shell I have to manually click the time to see if I have any unread emails or slack messages.
Or

type Something is range 0 .. 255;

And now Something'First equals 0, and Something'Last equals 255, or whatever upper bound you chose.

There is no reason to hard code a magic constant for the upper end of the range anywhere.
Here in Australia it was definitely intentional choice, or at the very least, intentionally expanded upon.
I'm not sure you are following my point though, whether its blowing up a bridge or building a wall, if you look at the payout to the party that is blocking it is higher than blowing up the island. If you then use modal logic to analyze the opposite parties perspective of whether or not that party would actually go through with it then their threat seems much more believable.
Well, he said "it-just-works", but it will never get to that point by its own merits, as it depends on one rival company releasing software for you.
It is important to consider, though, that the reason flying is extremely safe is because we do freak out about everything that goes wrong in aviation. Commercial aviation is one industry in which there is a strong correlation between safety and profitability so the industry does freak out over every problem.

Of course, it's a balance, and the balance that commercial aviation has found is heavily focused on safety.
IANAL, but if the original author has all the rights, they must not obey GPL.
> The industry was very heavily regulated globally before Chernobyl and Fukushima, but look what happened

Gross incompetence and huge design issues 40 years ago on one hand, and complacency+incompetence that required a huge natural disaster to pose a problem, and even then it resulted in less death and destruction than the evacuation, the natural disaster itself or your regular fossil fuel power plant? Not sure that's a good example.
The point is that it can be done (on and off) for extended periods, unlike what the parent comment stated.
Author here, I felt like JS libs for spreadsheet UIs were always overkill for my usage of letting users import their data into my app. I spent more time disabling the default features than required, and the bundle would still get bloated by tons of features i didn't need.
So I made this tiny lib, that's supposed to give you the look and feel of excel, some copy pasting ability, without trying to mimic the power of excel.

Do you think there's a coordinated campaign by(?) Coverity to get your open source project to use it? For what reason? It's surely not to make money considering Coverity gives open source projects a free license.

> I have nothing against Coverity personally - it may very well help the V code generator, but I hate being forced to use a product in such a way.

Yes, two random people telling you to consider using a static analysis tool is "forcing" you to use a product.

This is a great example why everyone should stay away from V. Industry standard best practices are treated as conspiracy theories by the developers.

It's fine for people to decide they want to make a new language; that's great! It's also totally fine for all of those people to have no idea what they're doing; that's how you learn. But at some point, you need to recognize that you don't know what you don't know. V is not anywhere close to the level of production ready-ness you yourself have repeatedly claimed.

How Amazon Automated White Collar Work and Put Its People to Better Use
Do you have any evidence for this that isn't just conjecture, though? I think there are millions of parents that would love to get a car that obeys traffic laws for their children. The peace of mind would be immense, and that's on top of the existing entries in the market that allow you to view live location and speed and even set preferences for radio volume and acceleration rate.

> Nobody here would buy a car that prevents the driver from making mistakes.

Almost every new car today comes with adaptive cruise control, autonomous lane-keeping, augmented backup cameras, lane-change and backup alarms, etc. I don't see why a better version wouldn't sell just as well.
I'd be surprised if it were only half.
> I bet the engineers of MCAS didn't even have a view on the overall system

By system so your mean the MCAS, the airplane, it Boeing. I don't think you're correct if your mean the MCAS or how it integrated with the airplane. You don't think they had any sort of integration tests established? Also, one one the failings was that the system only relied on input from a single sensor, so that failing should have been extremely obvious.

Unless by system you mean Boeing as a whole. I'm sure that as a part of the requirements process they were told that the system can be deactivated (which it could be), and I'm sure they were probably unaware that pilots were not being trained in disabling the MCAS. That makes those technical failures still obvious, but nonetheless understandable and maybe even acceptable in that context.
Or both. There is nothing wrong with therapy.
My laptop AMD card begs to differ.
Nobody can come up with an alternative. the only people who are experts in something are people who could be good in either a regulatory role or a business role. Thus there is and always will be a revolving door because when one side decides they need more experts the obvious place to look is the other side of the door.

Note that without the revolving door both sides would be worse off. (Unless you take some other action to mitigate this - I can't think of anything but there might be a complex answer)
> Many places require you to deprecate assets such as computers over many years, so the deductions are not all taken out of your profit the year you buy them

It's likely that in some accounting regimes you have to to this, but in my own experience with a small business in the US, multiple accountants have simply depreciated assets like our computers immediately. When I originally questioned this our CPA said we could depreciate it over several years but it wasn't necessary in our case (small enough [asset] value and lifetime) and not worth it.

As it stands I imagine if someone is spending $1,000 per year on "servers" these are non-depreciable cloud service expenses.

That's true. Without the lockdowns, everyone would have had some very small increased chance of death or lifelong respiratory issues.

It's the role of science to tell us what that increased chance is, and the role of politics to decide whether that warrants the long-term decreased quality of life for a much higher fraction of people that the lockdowns/shutdowns will cause. At any rate, none of this was forced, certainly not by science (which can't make normative prescriptions).
>>> It was an accident that would have happened if it was a manually operated car with an alert driver, no?

No, the last articles and discussions were quite clear that this accident wouldn't have happened with a real driver. The road conditions were good, the visibility was good. A driver would have seen the woman crossing the road well enough and slow down.
To your question: The question that the parent comment tries to answer is "what do we do so the backup driver does not watch his phone?".

This is a solved problem: you fit the experimental car with an interior camera aimed at the driver. If the backup driver is observed to be distracted by the interior camera, the car can sound a warning for the driver to be alert and if they ignore the warning, the car's hazard lights would come on and it would be slowly brought to a halt.
i agree with the comments that say she's at fault. However, and hindsight is always 20/20, there should have been two people in the car.
they are also untrue in general. in some markets social networking ads work, in some search ads work, that's to be expected - you don't expect eg. ad placements by the train company to be always effective regardless of what you're selling.
That's a good example of the difficulties here.

If they used go mod and didn't see it as a breaking change you'd be in the same situation. I think many people would debate whether this is breaking or not or deserves a major version - I think most people would say no if that was the only change.

If they used go mod and did see this as a breaking change, they'd increment the major version and you'd never notice. The unfortunate consequence is most of their consumers would continue happily using a version 1.3 multiple major versions behind and missing critical security fixes (most projects backport fixes for say two major versions) - and they'd probably end up with users on a range of major versions from 1.x to 21.x if this is your definition of a significant breaking change.

In theory under strong semver every single possible breaking change would be a new major version and every bit of software more than a few years old would be on version 945.5.1 - in practice, in the real world we never see that sort of versioning, and people use major versions for something very different (for significant changes in api surface (whether breaking or not), and sometimes for significant breaking changes). It's a signal rather than a hard objective rule.

None of this is insurmountable of course, but it does need to be attended to. At present go mod seems to assume strong semver and the result would be IMO a proliferation of breaking changes and outdated software being used (as opposed to current Go which almost forces everyone to be on HEAD and to try to avoid breaking others).
Can the user merge the workspace panel into the the system panel and move all that to the bottom of the screen instead?

I honestly can't stand global top bars and "system panels" that are nothing more than always-visible launcher menus. They're just a waste of space. IMO Chrome looks ridiculous in the video, with a set of tabs directly underneath the workspace panel tabs.

What I'd really like to see is XFCE with automatic tiling. I can probably script a half-assed version of it myself without too much trouble, but it would be nice to have a full-assed version of that.
Chromebooks? FirefoxOS too -- it might not have taken off enough to be viable, but it worked.
Self-certifications of any kind are such a scam.
I'm sure that's annoying, but given the nature of what is being discussed it's hard to come up with a scenario where that has a serious impact on the observation of justice. Not least because if the live feed goes down at the same time as something bad happens that would give an enormous amount of ammunition to Assange's defence team.

Who is the Jamstack for in your opinion? I'm a web developer that makes a lot of apps and marketing sites for small to medium businesses and I find it very hard to justify the added complexity of a Jamstack architecture - there's just too many moving parts.

It seems to me you need a few things:

- A dedicated development team to manage the stack

- Enough traffic to justify the complexity

- Regular content publishing to make use of the build pipeline

- A need for speed beyond what's regularly acceptable

Great work anyway on the book, it's good to see people charging for curated knowledge.
