>Because even a one-way unlock can be exploited and is a vector for compromised security.

Evidence doesn't support this at all. When was the last root exploit due to an bootloader unlock?

Towing the Apple line gets you nowhere. There is overwhelming support for companies to allow for a right of repair. Most people don't have any issues with security advances, but they do have a problem with companies using this as an excuse to further lock-in to devices that are fully paid for by consumers.
You can illustrate this point by comparing prison systems.

In America is segregated by race, blacks, whites, Mexicans etc.

In the U.K all races mix, towns and counties may stick together more but that’s it.
The important thing to keep in mind here is that Buffett is talking about "saying no to almost everything" when you are already successful. Not when you're actually still in the process of becoming successful.

The rules are different there, although of course Jobs' quote about focus, I think, applies to both situations, to some extent.

EDIT: Grammar.
I'd be interesting to compare snapshot of upvotes/downvotes in this thread from between now and when the US gets out of bed.

It'd a good measure of how much control the US has over other types of media.
I've seen binary trees used for collision resolution in hash buckets in quite a few production systems. A pathological case of O(log n) is vastly better than a pathological case of O(n), if you care about it.

It might be instructive for programmers using higher level languages to learn about the cache hierarchy and the hardware prefetcher in modern systems. For those interested, I'd recommend reading Ulrich Drepper's classic: What Every Programmer Should Know About Memory[1].

I truly don't understand publishers their negative attitude towards Google News. Everything combined, Google News is a net positive for publishers. They weren't as discoverable as they are now and probably see less traffic from any other source. They want to be compensated for being publicly indexed? Google should honestly just remove the complaining publishers from Google News or Google altogether. See how they like that. Let them opt-out if they dislike it that bad. It's like complaining to a phone book it lists phone numbers in an efficient manner.

> people watching American news and for instance adopting "all cops are bastards" attitude is just dumb in so many way

Now you know how many of us in the USA feel. Yet for some reason it seems you assume that it is correct in the US. Why? If the simple fact that this social phenomenon is happening here is what validates it, then why complain when it starts happening where you live? If, on the other hand, the we are not a paragon of virtue, perhaps consider that the news is causing just the same sort of inane, invalid response here as you are concerned about seeing where you live.
To be fair to Subway, in this instance, a layman would have never considered the question. What's more, this ruling would obviously lead to an exploration of the classification of a huge number of products from many large, and small businesses. From McDonalds, to artisan bakers.

That's said, I can also see the point the Irish law addresses, but it goes against common sense.

I mean, if you progress along this line of jurisprudence, you could possibly propose a law to ensure that sour dough bakers pay for pets licenses :3
Talking about bigotry in the UK without mentioning colonialism is a bit like talking about racism in the USA without mentioning slavery. Different history, different consequences, different present, different context.

A few weeks back historian John Dolan pointed out that all the iconoclasm recently occurring in Britain was targeting statues of people who had participated in the Atlantic slave trade. This is curious, because while some British were involved in the Atlantic slave trade it ranks pretty low on the list of Horrible Things the British Empire Did. The fact that Cecil Rhodes statues weren't getting dumped in rivers says about all you need to know on this subject.

Rhodes was a monster. Look him up. Yet his statue continues to stand at Oxford. There is a movement to get it and other statues to Rhodes torn down, check out #RhodesMustFall on Twitter for example. But by and large British society refuses to engage with their genocidal past.
> But Britain is not America.

Actually, the rest of the world is not the USA.

As a Brit who visited Greece it shocked me how much of a political issue it is there. I kind of came to the conclusion that any slippery slope or historical argument is less relevant than "If they want them so badly and we don't really care, just hand them over"
You can always take advantage of what I believe is the portable property of consecutive strings (without space) being concatenated together. Then you never need to escape anything in your scripts.

For instance, to produce a double quote inside single quotes, you can do this

echo "'"'"'"'"

That's three quoted strings next to each other that produce

'"'
If the bin is big enough to warrant it, according to your link.

Lived in Dallas and College Station for far longer than I'd prefer, and I can contrast to NYC - taxes and rent is incomparably different. Everything else just depends on your lifestyle choices. You can buy groceries in Dean and Deluca and your coffee in La Colombe, or you can shop in a dollar store and get a coffee for a buck from a stall. I've never scored a coffee for a dollar in Texas even in the shadiest of gas stations. The breadth of options in NYC is insane, especially when you realize that while gas prices are more in Texas, you don't pay for gas at all in NYC! Of course if you're in the burbs that changes, but it's still arguable that you can live fairly modestly in NYC especially if you're single.

> systemic racism absolutely is a problem there

But it's not the same thing and it happens on a completely different scale.

Systemic racism in US means that

"the rate of fatal police shootings among Black Americans was much higher than that for any other ethnicity, standing at 31 fatal shootings per million of the population as of August 2020."

Which is completely out of scale for European standards (at least 3 orders of magnitude worse), including the somewhat more problematic countries in East Europe.

EDIT: for comparison in Italy in 2019 3 people were shot dead by police, without any ethnic implication, it means 1 fatal shooting every 20 millions of the population, or 0.05 every million, VS 31 every million.

To look at it in another way: you need to gather 20 million people in Italy so that one of them risk of being shot by the police, it only takes 33 thousands black men in US.
It's 620 times more dangerous for a black man in US to encounter a policeman than it is in Italy.

EDIT 2: -1 after only 6 minutes.

It explains a lot about what's wrong in American culture...
Exactly, compare the prison systems:

America’s is segregated by race. You can’t mix with the other race or borrow something from them, or even sit on their table.

In Britain the races mix, there’s no strict segregation, if there is any, it’s more segregated by town and county and areas.
well check out italy, you can substitute italian with indians and keep the entire paragraph almost word for word.

I suspect it's a common theme of countries that managed to keep an identity while under a long foreign domination. when the state is the enemy for generations, the ethics and norm about law and legality become a lot more flexible.
I think it can be and it's something to at least consider. But yes there are many examples where the criticism feels inconsidered and knee-jerk
> Probably money, but that doesn't exclude the obvious racism it created.

This! In history, a lot of racism has been created to justify wars, economical exploitation, slavery, creating political scapegoats and so on.

Demonizing an enemy is the most basic method to polarize people. This type of "psyops" was extremely common during WW2.

People often don't really want to look at the root of racial, ethnic, political discrimination because it has to do with economic and political power.
The things that stand out to me about Japan:

* 3rd largest economy.

* 11th largest population (top 10 until recently, they basically tie with Mexico).

* If you look at a table of countries by area, they are there. Even in the top half, thanks to places like Tuvalu.

I think there is a very strong on-the-face-of-it argument that they just have too many people and not enough for them to do, economically speaking. If they could drop their population and keep the economy about the same (and if they have so many dead-end jobs and so few opportunities, they could) then they would be both a wealthy country and absurdly wealthy on a personal level.
This annoys me a lot as well. Especially when people here in the Netherlands protest against "police violence", which is a thing that barely even exists in our country.
Fortunately in the US, 99.998% of police encounters don't result in a death.

1. Precisely! When you run into catches like actual versus nominal dimensions, you don't want to be working with a $40 piece of wood, but a $5 piece of wood. When you're wrong, you toss it and try again. Or you unscrew it and try again.

2. That's okay! If it's not quite straight or square, it's really fine for most pieces. Unless you've really s-ed up, you won't be able to tell.

3. I have plenty of pieces of furniture made from construction wood, especially in the kids' room, and they do just fine. Kids grow fast, and an elementary school table won't be what we want in middle school. Heck, we might want something different if and when hobbies change.

The point is to make a bunch of pieces quickly, and to develop the technique to be able to:

* Make a (roughly) perpendicular screw hole without having the wood splinter on the opposite side, and perhaps with a proper countersink hole

* (roughly) cut a piece of wood to length, with a (roughly) square edge

* Get intuition for the order to measure/cut/assemble pieces so everything fits

* ... and so on.

There's a bunch of mechanical skills (like making a square cut) and spatial reasoning skills to develop. The best way to do this is to do it over, and over, and over many times. Once past that stage, poplar is ideal. Starting out, make as much stuff as you can as quickly and cheaply as you can.

Even now, I'll sometimes cut a piece of wood to the wrong length, and I've been doing this a long time. The first few pieces? Forgetaboutit.
There seems to be confusion about “systemic” vs “systematic” here. Systematic racism would imply a system that is designed to achieve racism. The more common term is systemic racism, which implies racism more or less as a “side effect” of a structure or system that arguably has a different, benign purpose.

> Many real problems are often obfuscated and sidelined by the latest media export from the US which has no or at best marginal relevance in their local countries.

Or in their local counties (in the US).
> Aboriginal people just commit more crime.

Isn't that the same argument people use in the US to justify why more Black Americans are incarcerated / killed by cops?

If that is actually your stance, I'm confused as to how you see Australia as fundamentally different from the US.
I don't think you're understanding my point.

The 'licenses' which you are describing may be worthless, in that they have no actual meaning. Some more so than others.

Someone could sue over GPL tommorow, goes to the Supreme Court, and the GPL is invalidated and ruled invalid.

Then what? The entire software industry turns upside down.

So when the 'licence has little meaning' and it can be overruled in a court ... then companies are very scared of that and act accordingly - with risk aversion.

In other words the 'GPL' is not 'the GPL'. It's just 'maybe the GPL'. And that is a huge maybe if you're betting the company on it.

To make the 'GPL' actually the 'GPL' and to validate the strategy articulated in your comment - you need to either have 1) laws passed in support of this stuff or 2) have major courts rule on it.

The contracts seem reasonable, it would be nice to have them validated in court.

Copyright, a similar issue, is being tested right now in Oracle v. Google and it's going to have a big impact.

To give you some small hint at how big this issue is: Android is switching from Java to Kotlin over this. Literally the #1 most popular OS in the world has to fundamentally shift gears due to IP litigation risks.

If the laws were clear then either a) Android would have never used Java to begin with or b) Android would have no problem using Java. Instead, we're in limbo. Which is why clear contract laws are good for everyone.

Well,
the "problem" is that there are not many different races in Poland, so it is hard to judge how racist we are.

The most racist thing you can see here is people staring at blacks or Asians. Because it is quite unique thing to see.

Just like when I was in South Korea and my wife was asked to pose in a picture of young Korean girl.

Similar thing happened 50 years ago, when my mother-in-law asked a black fellow to pose in a picture with her.

But that is expected when someone is unique, intriguing.

When I was young I lived in the south of Poland where we had a Roma minority. And I as a kid was afraid of them, because they were different from me and most of the time I saw them begging on streets. But same thing happened when I saw non-Romas begging on streets, just because they were dressed in old, torn and smelly cloths.

I have personally not met any Jews that I know of, because here you don't have any visual clues, it just like meeting an Orthodox Catholic, one would need to introduce him/herself like one to be recognized. And that maybe would result in interesting conversation, but thats it.

There is another negative issue here with large south city in Poland and Jews - Cracow. There is a district there that was mostly Jewish before the WW II, and now there are a lot of visitors from Israel schools that come there to look at the old buildings and synagogues. And because those are children in a difficult age and look quite unsupervised (besides the bodyguards that act very aggressively towards Poles) and leave quite a mess in hotels where they stay.

And there are also Brits :), you can recognize them because most of them walk in T-shirts during winter and are quite loud and like to have stag parties in Cracow, and also leave quite a mess in pubs/restaurants/hotels.
Well, I'm choosing to say no to try being that successful. Cause I don't want to say no to a million things and find out that I'm not cut for being Steve Jobs in the first place.
It's not the same. There really IS footage of USA police shooting innocent black people. There exists no such footage in Switzerland. Swiss people protesting against Swiss police because of this footage from the USA makes no sense. US population protesting against US police because of this footage makes sense.
Also "white" is typically not a category you speak of. Ethnicity is much more important and it's often lost on americans in my experience who tend to promptly dismiss differences between e.g. Ukrainians and Poles.
The desk in my son's room cost <$100, and had I bought it commercially, it would have been >$1000. It's customized to his interests/hobbies. If it didn't have all the bells and whistles, it would have been <$50 (a few 2x4s and a spare chunk of wood I used for the top).

Your perception that in the US "black and white people live different lives and mixing is frowned upon" seems like it's been heavily influenced by some less-than-honest talking points. The idea that the UK is an oasis of racial harmony versus a segregationist USA is pretty far from the truth.
Nice article. Easy to argue about the details, because the author is describing what they've discovered or bumped into, not what they've studied. But I still think its a nice intro that may make other programmers think.

The article could explore open-addressing in hash-tables, and it could explore a switch statement for the vowels.

Tangent: I've often wondered where the double-hashing tables are, and whether they could use the high and low bits of a single hash rather than the low bits of two hashes...?

> Can you imagine what would occur if Github started harrassing private repo owners for including GPL licensed code?

Why would Github do that? It's perfectly fine to not distribute code you received under the GPL. The license just says that if you do distribute the code in binary, you must provide recipients with the source as well.
TFA is talking about racism as if it can be seen through the lens of how an entire nation feels about and handles racism, so that seems like a reasonable way of talking about it in this thread.
It's plainly not the same, you can see that by looking at it. It encodes the same text, but it encodes it a different way.

And the difference is not negligible. With quotes, i can type or paste more into the middle, and the string is still valid. With escapes, i have to be careful to escape the added text. It's significantly more ergonomic to use quoted text.
Totally different... in that firebombing and violence did not occur?

> there's a good chance people have ... never been able to interface with the machine or external hardware.

I agree that the trend is to go up and not down in what abstraction regards, but I also think that embedded programming was never so popular like it is today. Like... you can do it with a budget under 20 USD and a couple of tutorials.

You don't necessarily need to do assembler to interact with hardware. You can do it with C/C++/Rust/etc., and it's as easy as (for example) writing into some microcontroller register.

Unless you are talking about something else...

I grew up in a multicultural town in the UK (also home to a lot of racism unfortunately) but we had a yearly (carribean I think) carnival with music and floats and costumes and food.

People would turn out in the thousands and it didn't matter your skin colour because you were there to join in the fun. It doesn't matter if you wore something that wasn't traditionally part of your culture, because you were doing so to join in the fun, not to belittle people
I noticed this when internet comments for newspapers were still common, which I suggest bringing back actually.

But these divisive topics just got so much more engagement than far more important news and the media began to increase that type of content because of their precarious financial situation (Good luck earning a living wage with online news).

I remember one instance were there was an article about a important EU wide policy decision. It had around 25 comments. Next was some article about pop culture and gender. It had over 1000 comments. At one point it becomes self-reinforcing when people want to know why others comment that much...

I agree with the advice of all the other commentators, but I'll add a recommendation to have a few Irwin Quick Grip clamps on-hand (or similar). They're my go-to for 90% of just holding something in place for a moment (e.g. when drilling a hole with two pieces aligned).

You want a good pair of parallel clamps or pipe clamps too, for when gluing stuff, which can hold something precisely for a long time with a lot of pressure, but most of the time, you want something fast.

I also recommend a few clutch-style bar clamps, since a lot of time, you're reaching over something.
My 15 year-old cousin had undiagnosed hypertropic cardiomyopathy and collapsed during half-time at a high-school basketball game. Since AEDs were rare then (and still are in rural, less affluent areas), his heart rhythm couldn't be restored and he died.

There are two important points: 1) you don't want to be exercising with many different heart conditions whether temporary or permanent and 2) when you're out and about in your community, keep an eye out for AEDs ... if you don't see them at a reasonable frequency, speak up and help get them in place.
