Liberal economic policies means low taxes, so in Sweden they are a right wing party. Why would they be anything but right wing?

Basically the most liberal party is for low taxes, for diversity and for secularism. If you want high taxes then you aren't a liberal.
Related: this is a great long read in the Guardian about the emergence of the lunch sandwich in the UK.

https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/nov/24/how-the-sandwic...

One nugget: the lunch sandwich was invented by M&S in the early 1990s, and it was immediately hugely popular. Yet management missed the chance to capitalise on it by opening standalone sandwich shops.

A lesson in organisational inertia, leading to a business missing a huge new opportunity right under their noses. My view: businesses should compensate for this by doubling-down by default on any form of enlargement that works, deliberately not considering overall strategy. The limit to consider strategic implications should be higher than it currently is.
This is true. Instead of competing against each other, we -I mean all nations and individuals - should do something to support efforts so that humans can some day escape this planet. Earth is not habitable forever.
I mean, this is simply fear mongering and false information. The current favorite vaccine in the west is the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine which is recombinant viral vector vaccine. This is already commonly used for Hep B, HPV, Whooping Cough, Shingles, etc.

I mean...transforming us into GMOs???
If you're coming from OpenSCAD then the Part workbench is much more intuitive as it works in much the same way: create solids, join or cut them.
Excuse me? If it's called Point2D, it must have two coordinates. The type should be called Point and it should have an arbitrary number of coordinates (which seems a bit silly, since a Point2D and a Point3D are different types, as are points and vectors that have exactly the same representation)
Its not that they cant be admitted for care, its that they can't provide care, if devices that they need to provide the care don't work.

A lot of devices in hospitals work on vendor provided machines that are not up to date. If anything happens on either end, you can't use device. I am talking about CT, MRI, endoscopy, and other devices.

If you have integrated single sign on with access cards, and AD dies, you can't login, and if you can't login you cant use the device. The reason I am pointing AD out, is because I am working in integrating such device in our software as we speak.

In the short run yes. In the long run the cost per ad view/click drops and legitimate sites suffer from reduced ad revenue.
Exactly this. We can't focus on reducing costs easy, what we can is focus on obtaining energy easy and clean. Civilisation energy demands will only grow. So focusing on web taking 1% less energy will not be as impactful to all of us as pushing for more green energy.

I think the biggest issue now is not ability to generate energy ( we have passive and active green energy sources ) but Storage.

And It would probably be for the best to find kinetic ways to store and release energy. Ofc I might be wrong and in the end batteries and solid state batteries solutions might be the winner. But I think kinetic storage is kinda low hanging fruit not many companies are looking into.

Also kinetic energy storage usually shouldn't degrade as fast as fluid based batteries.
I've got to respect the transparency and spirit of this post. Major props. What I really love is seeing all the partnerships that have gone into some of his work over the years. Didn't realize how mammoth of a task some of these reports must have been that were only made possible via collaboration.
Retire javascript

The overwhelming majority of websites could be implemented with the exact same functionality with just html, and we are here because insane demand for websites created an insane wave of non knowledgable web "developers"
Why would you need all that state management in the frontend if most of the rendering is on the backend?

We already have two teams today, one for the overly complex frontend and one for the backend. Solution to that is server side rendering and full stack developers.
This reminds me of people back in the day saying that homosexuality is a "disease" which is being spread by homosexuality.

I'm not a scientist, but isn't it just the fact of being educated that such exist? If I don't know about transgenderism, or I know about it but people view it as a negative thing, I would never get the idea of being it myself, right? I just live my whole life with a strange feeling of not really knowing who I am.
If, on the other hand, I know about it and the culture is accepting of it, I can finally know who I am because I feel like I found myself.

I really doubt that people start hormone-therapy just because they heard about transgenderism and were somehow brainwashed into thinking that they are trans as well...It actually sounds like a disgusting theory to me, could come from a certain german group in the 1930's.

If I was born 100 years prior, I probably never would've known that I have ADHD or am Bi-Sexual. Now with the internet all the information is available to me and I suddenly get to know myself. I doubt that the internet or the culture made me bi or ADHD. I just found out thanks to those things :)

People back in the day were labeled as dumb people because they couldn't read, now we know that there's a thing called dyslexia.

Anyways, sorry for going on a tangent, just what I thought when reading this discussion.
That free coffee thing. I used to go to a Pret frequently with one of my female colleagues who happened to be very traditionally attractive. She got a free coffee from male staff every single time.
string.find is implemented in C, not Lua. As far as Lua is concerned, that call is a single instruction.
I also don't understand this, my father died last month because of the same reason. He had an aortic dissection and in those cases time is critical (especially given that he was under anti coagulant). But they took 12 hours before they finally started treating him and claim a computer failure is the reason for that. By the time they started treating him, it was too late.

I don't understand the sheer incompetence involved. He had his prescriptions with him, he was lucid enough in the first 10 hours (my mother couldn't be in the emergency with him due to covid regulation but he communicated with her by phone) to explain his medical history. They had all the elements to actually do something but they didn't because "our computer systems were not working"

Hospitals should be able to run without computer systems and the budget for maintaining those same systems should be high enough to ensure things work. I can't fathom that it's not the case and I would never have expected something like this to happen. It's hard dealing both with the death of a close family member and the anger at the incompetence displayed by the French hospital system.
We all know the Linux kernel needs a more "engaging" UX . . .
I'm fine with the UI. I never used another CAD software and Free Cad is intuitive enough for me to learn the basics in one day from a youtube video. Draw in 2d, pad, click on a face, create sketch, draw in 2d, pocket/pad, repeat. Simple.

The problem is that if I want to change anything in a sketch that is higher up the dependency chain - it breaks all the sketches/objects depending on it and you have to fix it by lots of manual steps. This makes the workflow feel bad because you're afraid to change stuff earlier in the chain so you add stuff later instead of just fixing it properly.
Yes you don't need to explain my field to me, thank you very much. Are you going to post wikipedia links next? It still doesn't change the fact that PCA is extremely unrigorous for any analysis that goes beyond 'looking at pretty figures'. The vectors are literally and utterly meaningless. They're selected in an ad hoc way for each dataset. If you want to untangle population structure properly there are countless other more rigorous methods, although they are not without their flaws. But the fact that you want to use PC1 and PC2 plots to prove a weird point about ethnicity makes me think you either don't know what you're talking about and are just using the field as a front to advance your weird beliefs. Even Steve Hsu would be more rigorous than that
No loss, I’m already prepared to die before seeing square dancing spacecraft.
You're assuming the best of the best decide where to work based on compensation. Also consider the number of pro players is miniscule compared to the number of engineers at fb. It's a false analogy because of the law of diminishing returns and population dynamics.
I've more than once been turned away from a supermarket because the POS system is down.

My local shop on the other hand would have no issues. Strictly cash only, or a verbal credit agreement if you don't have enough on you. The proprietor refuses to get a card machine, says the risk is too great for a business with such low margins.
Was it actix-web whose Git repo was removed during the brawl with the developer?

How it was resolved?
I tried both this and Sketchup for a home modelling project. I ended up paying for Sketchup because it was so much easier to use. I did not need the degree of control you can get with FreeCAD, so it was just wasted time and energy.
> The crux of your argument is that humans are a superior species

Correct. It would be absurd to treat all species as having equivalent moral standing. Under that belief, it would be morally troublesome to take steps to stop mice eating your winter rations, or to rescue a person from a burning building in preference over two pets.

> Would some choose to die/suffer rather than benefit from such experiments -- yes absolutely.

Some might even prefer that their child die rather than receive treatment developed with animal testing. Reasonable people, however, find this abhorrent. It's right that in the UK, a parent does not have an absolute right to make this sort of mistake. [0]

Nothing is gained by bringing Nazi ideology into the discussion, and I don't appreciate the attempt to compare my position (the mainstream one) to theirs. That's no way to have a discussion.

You've not really expressed a position of your own here, I take it you disagree with mine?

Important fact not stated in the article: the ransomware in question entered the hospitals' system via the Citrix vulnerability from the beginning of 2020. This has been confirmed by the German BSI (the country's institution responsible for cyber security issues).

So: a gaping security hole known for eight months has been left open. This is especially important to keep in mind because their lame excuse is that they hadn't had enough time to fix the hole.

The point is not that dyslexia treatments don't help dyslexic kids; it's that those treatments help all kids that struggle with literacy, regardless of cause.

Some kids struggling to read because they "don't have access to education" or are malnourished is as much (or more) of a problem than wealthy kids struggling to read because of a neurological condition.

The article says it all: Dyslexia is a label that is being used to divert special needs funding from disadvanted struggling kids to wealthy struggling kids. No-one denies that all these kids are struggling, and that the special attention does help them with that struggle.
Is this really a novel problem? Most treatmments have some risk associated with them, and a 1/1000 chance seems acceptable if the alternative is death or serious health consequences.

I think if the story went like "we treated the patient immediately, but she had a rare allergy which we couldn't look up in time because a ransomware attack took our network down", it would be much more of an everyday story.
Soooo Photoshop is basically as expensive as Fusion?
The way it works is that the code phrases are use to do a key exchange (PAKE), which means that the only way they're useful to an adversary is if someone is able to MITM your connection and guess the passphrase. The presumption is that this is unlikely enough that you should see a bunch of incorrect passwords and abort, knowing something is wrong, before someone is able to successfully MITM you.

I admit I'd rather see a longer default passphrase too, but fortunately this is adjustable on the sender's end of the connection, so you can choose a longer one if you'd like.

I've always had great difficulty with remembering things that are not associated with any sort of understanding I could acquire.

Remembering things like names of countries, capitals, seas, rivers for geography class required tremendous effort from me to achieve barely passable result (and to pass I also had to exploit an error that teacher made). All despite me having IQ in top 1% of population.

I'm sure if I was diagnosed with dysrememberia or something this would have been tremendous help to me. But nobody invented such condition. So I just had to accept that I'm just at low end of ability to remember data unconnected to any sense-making.

The system is rigged though and to pass maturity exam I had to ensure dysortography diagnosis for myself so my spelling (which I suck at as well) was ignored while grading.
Color should be dictated by the users browser, not by the website author, if the user wishes a dark background with light-grey text, they can configure their browser to display webpages with such a color scheme :)
I think there is a very valid philosophical debate around the ethics of animal testing. My first time traveling in the developing world one of the things which struck me is how many sick and hungry dogs I saw on the streets. My initial reaction was to take judgement: how could the people here let this happen to these innocent creatures? But as I spent more time there, I came to realize that there was so much human suffering there that spending my compassion on an animal almost felt like a luxury.

I'm not saying I have the answer to this question, it's only an anecdote.
I'm not saying its not possible for small companies to run a handfull of VMs for themself.

But you reach quickly enough an size where a central managed kubernetes cluster is very versatile for your whole company.

1-2 People take care of the cluster, the other teams then use that kubernetes cluster for your build, hosting of staging envs etc.

And then you have a very small infra team which is much better able to provide those services to others internally much easier and safer.

Just checked, and the equivalent of Cmd+~ on GNOME is Cmd+`.

That said, I rarely use Cmd+Tab anymore, I just move the mouse to the top left corner and pick, now that screen could use some UX improvements (i.e. hotkeys for the apps, and maybe grouping, since when you have a lot of open apps, it is hard to find what you are looking for).
Where about are you looking from?
Well, that's a REALLY long time ago. 1300 years ago the vast majority of people believed that the world was round. The flat-earth theory is strangely enough a relatively modern theory.

Thank you!

Yes, Manifold already supports Java 15 multi-line strings (aka text blocks) like this:

var myValue = """
[>.js<]
function foo() {
return "hi";
}

foo();
""";

You can embed a resource fragment as either a declaration or a value. You use a string to embed a value fragment as with the JS example above. Note the [>.js<] header indicates the resource type for the string, similar to your annotation. As you surmised, an expression such as a string literal cannot be annotated.
That practice should be illegal. It's a form of ransomware in itself, as well as negligence in not updating it.

Either have it old and offline, or connected and updated.

Preferably offline and updated though. Forcing an online "subscription" and not keeping up their end of the bargain infuriates me.
A lot of people posted in a thank you thread, and eventually the author put the repo back, and if I remember correctly a few people got owner-like rights. Since then I have no idea whether the original author works on it or not.
Fine. Energy with no marginal carbon emissions per unit produced.
Literally stunned that no one has mentioned Namesilo in this thread. Simple, cheap, been using them for years without any issues.
What do you mean by puts in jeopardy? So they realistically expect that a large portion of the tested people will request to delete their data? Is there any basis for that? As I understand it's a very uncommon occurrence even in companies people really should be requesting it from.

Actix was already a great project but the community-driven switch mentioned here is a great step toward better support and broader adoption.

At the moment, no. The rejection letter is written to the authors, and I think that most authors would be mortified if their rejection letters were made available. At that point the authors can attempt to send it to another journal. There is nothing stopping the authors of this paper from publishing the peer-reviewed comments and feedback they will have received from attempting to publish it.

I don't know what PlosOne's policy on publishing something like this would be. They don't reject based on relevance or impact alone, but I suspect that they would not want anything that looked fraudulent in their journal nonetheless.

>ARM royalty portion is not an important cost factor

That's exactly the reason why Nvidia's pending acquisition of ARM is so suspect. There's not much money to be made in ARM's business model hence it really only makes sense if they plan on exploiting the synergy of ARM + Nvidia tech in a way that only ownership of the company allows them to.
Yeah. PGP doesn’t offer forward secrecy. Solution? Use Age!! which also has no forward secrecy!

Apps like ProtonMail or Tutanota may have an impact on encrypted email. If both sides use ProtonMail, communication is end to end secure. That’s also the case with encrypted messaging. In both cases, copying outside an incompatible platform may be insecure. At least, email address is more private than phone number.
This so painfully accurate I cringed.
> The inefficiencies are in the chair, the users chair.

If that is the case, then optimize for the user so they aren't running their car to charge their phone as often (or other such craziness).

My biggest problem with the article is the failure to quantify the energy use of these optimizations. Sure, it is difficult to do since there are so many variables and most of those variables are difficult to generalize. On the other hand, it should be possible to come up with relative measures to facilitate the optimization process. For example: when is it better to do something on the server vs. on the client? When will the decision even matter?

Of course, the suggestions offered by the article are also varied in quality. Some clearly offer better energy efficiency for both parties, such as not adding elements that you do not need. Others may indirectly benefit both parties: doing more server side processing on a popular website is going to benefit the consumer, but it also forces the provider to consider the cost of added overhead. Some simply have questionable merit, such as optimizing the size of resources that are infrequently used. Others are of dubious merit, such as the tendency of SEO to be used to find the provider's content rather than what the consumer needs.

It is a much more complex issue than can be addressed from a few quick tips.
it’s not really an issue until it happens often.

also, gdpr is about privacy - I don’t think it can be used to remove the data if it’s anonymised. That is - I can ask google to remove the history of what I clicked on their site, but they can still retain info that someone clicked this or that.

Protecting the company makes them sound like a defensive measure, when they seem equally an offensive measure to get ahead of the competition: "use our product, or come work for us, and feel good about yourself!"
I feel like this is comparing apples to oranges. A mostly 2D creative work environment, where it has to be good enough for the human eye versus a 3D modeling software that has to hold up against real world physical constraints.

It feels like comparing bycicles to cars and saying look how cheap even this high-end bike is compared to these cars! Different products and use-case.

Further, even if photoshop is the technically more challenging product with more advanced features it has a much bigger market than CAD software thus naturally R&D efforts have less impact on the endprice.
I remember finding out 15 years ago that the moderately progressive well-known "university town" where I lived at the time (Southeastern U.S.) didn't actually recycle anything, they just buried the plastic stuff and the clear vs colored glass in different sections of the landfill, so that it'd be easier to dig it up one day when recycling was actually economically viable. The recycling lie isn't new.
I know a doctor who works at multiple hospitals, she have talked about how there are a lot more infections and strange ones, in the rural population, things that jump from animals, that she never sees in the urban population. Maybe there's just a general problem with hygiene ?

Bullying open-source developers is not exactly the best course of action if one aims for the better adoption of a particular project. It is good that the situation was somewhat resolved, but I still feel sorry for the original developer, and I am not sure if I would want to use Actix after "the community" (at least some awful parts of it) did such outrageous things to the developer.
Does that make kernel updates a more manual process? Are you building your own? Are you signing and using secure boot?

I'd be interested in giving this a try.
I agree. My comment wasn't about shaming the old standards but about establishing new ones.
