> Due to Covid distancing measures, the court made five spaces available to members of the public, in a gallery with a total of 36 seats. Communications from the court repeatedly stated that these would be allocated on a first come, first serve basis - however this was not respected in practice. For nearly three weeks of proceedings, three seats were held back for unspecified “VIPs” for the first hour and a half each morning, and the first half an hour each afternoon, meaning that often only two members of the public (including NGO observers) were present in the courtroom. After RSF learned that the VIPs were in fact diplomats who were unaware these seats were being held for them, diplomatic intervention with the court finally resulted in all five seats being made fully available to the public from 24 September.

One of the few organisations that might have sought to report on this – the Guardian – published the book which allegedly first released the encryption key to the underacted diplomatic cables.

2) while I don't have an easy reference, a number of studies have found that even strenuous exercise before bed does not seem to impair sleep. As with everything sleep related there could easily be lots of individual variation but in general I don't think it usually causes trouble.

I think this might come down to heart rate. I've found that when I bike home at like 10 pm from somewhere say 30 minutes away, I'm fine now with sleep but when I first started biking back from somewhat far places I couldn't sleep well all night.

I follow this graph from him and I've found that if I exercise at the time marked as "sports" even 1 hour isn't enough for my heartrate to lower which leads to a worse siesta nap. I'm hoping that long-term as I get more aerobically fit it becomes less of a problem.

More generally, I don't think the argument is that strenuous exercise impairs sleep. More that it effects your circadian rythm. iirc from talking to Woz, for him, sports make him more tired and bring sleep phase earlier and I think my experiences are somewhat similar, though both of us exercise in late morning.
> There is no middle ground.

Pause this slippery slope argument for a second.

The current situation in Belarus:

- Protestors are being imprisoned by unidentified agents in unidentified vehicles

- Protestors are being _tortured_ throughout nightly interrogations

- Protest _organizers_ have been kidnapped overnight and hanged from trees to get the OMON's point across.

> The market for apps on phones was a disaster before the app store. Both for users and producers.

Because of the fragmentation of the phone market, specifically with-in even a single manufacturer's sphere.

There was so much variation in screen size, CPU power, memory, keyboard layout even for (say) Nokia's own line of products that Nokia's own app store had to ask "which phone do you have?". It was a non-uniform mess because the phones available pre-iPhone were a a non-uniform mess.

Apple's iOS App Store was able to have a simple design because the iPhone(s) available had a simple design, and developers could write to a known quantity. When Apple changed screen size/resolution/density they ensured that scaling from older non-updated apps occurred in a reasonable manner.

To a certain extent this is still true with Android, as third-party manufacturers have spotty updates once hardware is released. Google used to have a public dashboard with the market share of each version, but now you have to go into the Android Studio to look at the minimum SDK cumulative market share:

* https://www.xda-developers.com/android-version-distribution-...

Their current dashboard has some data on screen capabilities, OpenGL, and Vulkan:

* https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards

Meanwhile with iOS if you target iOS 12 you'll get 94% of that market:

* https://developer.apple.com/support/app-store/

If you need to worry about hardware capabilities, iOS 14 supports the iPhone 6S (released 2015) so that can be used a minimum (at least for 'low-intensity' stuff, i.e., not-games).

Why should Tiktok follow Chinese law when operating outside China? Were this about any other subject, then restricting the amount of content to Chinese standards would make people scream 'censorship'.

Shouldn't Tiktok follow the local laws of the user's country? And if so, doesn't that mean that, if we reject censorship on ideological grounds, that Tiktok should allow all content permitted by local laws, rather than a subset of it?
> I’m usually ~2-3 years behind the latest

The trick to doing that is to buy something new, premium and high quality at first, or eventually, and first hand.

It is cheaper over time.

Not only will it last you 5 years or more, you can also resale it to subsidize the next new device.

When you buy a cheap phone or any consumer electronic 3 years old and second hand, you are already deep into its lifecycle and utility. It will just become a paperweight when you get the next device out of necessity.
From - err - memory, the OS used some of the memory protection in hardware, but it didn't use it with security in mind.

I'm pretty sure an application could rewrite important kernel tables below &8000. And if you were using any shared libraries, these were all implemented as kernel modules, with no guard rails.

So it was kinda safe against some accidental access errors, but not at all a secure environment, and definitely possible to blow up the whole machine.
Note that this is the main use case of Julia code: relatively short academic code, where more thought goes into coming up with the equations than with the code itself. For me it is not uncommon to spend a week doing the full derivativation of a formula, which is basically a one liner in code.
Don't forget the most irritating restriction of all - no circular dependencies between PAS files. That one could get really painful later on in bigger projects.

The Delphi compiler was really great, but it was meant primarily for GUI business apps and not any other kind of coding. Result: the compiler hardly optimised. Borland didn't advertise new Delphi releases by referencing benchmark scores for example, but rather new productivity features.

Building fast compiler is not sorcery. Look at Java. JavaC starts out interpreted every time you run it, but it can still compile a large amount of source code very fast. Then at runtime HotSpot C1 can produce machine code from bytecode at a staggering speed. The resulting code even has respectable performance, with the slower (but still fast) C2 compiler only kicking in for where it's really needed.

And awkwardly, this is how Spinoza defines God:

"By God, I mean a being absolutely infinite—that is, a substance consisting in infinite attributes, of which each expresses eternal and infinite essentiality.

Explanation—I say absolutely infinite, not infinite after its kind : for, of a thing infinite only after its kind, infinite attributes may be denied ; but that which is absolutely infinite, contains in its essence whatever expresses reality, and involves no negation"

What's fascinating about this rhetorically is that it forces theists to accept a lesser entity as God or to deal with the ramifications of infinity (which leads to a view that looks a lot like atheism). Einstein famously said he believed in the God of Spinoza.

"I believe in Spinoza's god, who reveals Himself in the lawful harmony of the world, not in a god who concerns himself with the fate and the doings of mankind"
That means Mail, Messages, and Phone apps only I presume?
I think you are overestimating how much Tiktok means to the Chinese government.

Tiktok's international success is basically an accident, not one planned and supported by the government. Bytedance's founder is (or at least, was) even a pro-US guy, having publicly made pro-US statements in China.

China didn't do much after India banned a whole boatload of apps and investors.
Re-reading this piece [1] (also see my reply to the sibling comment) should clarify what this trope hides, which is that there's a deep, structural differential in productivity in the current economy it cannot explain. Why do the rich choose to work so much? That flies in the face of all logic since they can just kick back and exploit their class, opportunity, etc. Yet they don't because the work is fun. Counter to that, why do the poor choose to work less even if there are clear avenues of advancement? In the article you'll find some interesting speculation.

We need to fix our relationship with work, especially for the sake of those currently unable to do "fun" jobs that pay well. I don't think working less or a redistribution scheme via the government is an honest solution.

Instead, a much higher minimum wage coupled with retraining and temporary economic assistance that can spur a mass automation of "drudgery"-type jobs is a better answer. This in turn would allow society to redesign work so that it is more humane and more valuable. I also don't buy the belief that only some are capable of creative work.

Just off the top of my head, Apple allows for apps supporting IRC, RSS and Mastodon protocols. The latter came about in 2016, when these topics were just as relevant as they are now. Adding another protocol doesn’t seem difficult.
naps are AWESOME. Woz claims somewhere that without naps, his brain is at 60% or somesuch second half of day. Same for me (likely even worse since I usually don't get enough night sleep).

One reason I never want to work for a normal company is that I wouldn't be able to take naps. Not sure how I'd survive that.

One note for anyone reading this wanting to try naps: the timing matters a lot. Woz recommends napping around 7-8
hours from waking, NOT at a fixed time of day. (https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Best_time_for_napping).

There's lots of individual variance meaning it requires experimentation. For me, I usually take a nap between 5-7 hours from waking.

If you use supermemo/are interested in it, it has a thing called sleepchart (https://supermemo.guru/wiki/SleepChart) in which you can log sleep data and then see some cool graphs spit out (if you also use supermemo for learning, you can very cooly see correlations between sleep and repetition grades).
Here's Durov's response:

```

Apple released a statement saying they didn't want us to take down the 3 channels run by the Belarusian protestors, but just specific posts "disclosing personal information."

This sly wording ignores the fact that channels like @karatelibelarusi and @belarusassholes consist entirely of personal information of violent oppressors and those who helped rig the elections – because that is why those channels exist.

By hiding their demands with vague language, Apple is trying to avoid the responsibility of enforcing their own rules. It is understandable: according to this poll, over 94% of Belarusian users think the channels that made Apple worry should be left alone.

Previously, when removing posts at Apple’s request, Telegram replaced those posts with a notice that cited the exact rule limiting such content for iOS users. However, Apple reached out to us a while ago and said our app is not allowed to show users such notices because they were “irrelevant”.

Similarly, when Facebook wanted to inform its users that 30% of the fees users were paying for online events went to Apple, Apple didn’t let Facebook do it saying this information was (once more) “irrelevant”.

I strongly disagree with Apple’s definition of “irrelevant”. I think the reason certain content was censored or why the price is 30% higher is the opposite of irrelevant.

Apple has the right to be greedy and formalistic (or maybe not – that’s something for the courts and regulators to decide). But it’s time Apple learned to assume responsibility for their policy instead of trying to hide it from users – they deserve to know.

Builtins are functions that are built into the compiler rather than (or in addition to) being provided as part of any library. That is why they are called builtins. A bug in their implementation is a compiler bug, not a library bug.

If your idea of stability is the opression of the unprivelidge, then you are part of the problem.
This is exactly why corrupt government call protesters anarchists, so middle class people wouldn't mind opression as long as there's stability. While usually the actual destabilization and craziness comes from the people with power who are afraid to lose it.

Worth noting that Java has this too now, it's called the "jimage" format. However it's not used for redistribution of compiled artifacts, that's still JARs. Instead a jimage file is created when JARs are "jlinked" into a runtime image.

This requires modules and it's a new technique that post-dates Java 8, so not many Java shops use it yet. However Java 9+ comes optimised this way by default, that's what the 'modules' file is in the JDK lib directory. Class files have their strings extracted and placed into a single string table are compressed, and their offsets then placed into a "perfect hash table" that's guaranteed to satisfy lookups in O(1) or O(2) time.

The debt is real, but it represents money Chinese banks have already transferred. This does not increase the Chinese government's influence; on the contrary, it will require influence to get the recipient countries to pay back at least part of the amount.

It would be different if the payments had been conditional on doing whatever the Chinese government wants, but most of the lending up to 2016 was made with little oversight (which is why the sum is so high) and only after several high-profile project failures (e.g. the port of Hambantota, where after a debt-for-equity swap, a Chinese consortium is stuck operating it to try recoup the construction costs), the criteria for issuing new loans were made more strict, similar to those of other institutions like the World Bank.

The bitter lesson for the Chinese development finance industry is that "publicly guaranteed debt" is not very guaranteed when a new government comes to power every few years and wants to renegotiate the terms of agreements made with the previous government.
I think that's one of the things I find most appealing about his writings in general. Most people don't go to global optima solutions because there are various constraints while Woz just does not bother.

These suggestions cannot be taken to their conclusions in many cases but I think they are still good inspiration to try.

Most of the patients I see with vitamin D toxicity are on 5000 units daily or more. And it can take a while (years) for toxicity to occur. Vitamin D builds up during that time since it is fat-soluble. If you want to take Vitamin D over a long period of time, at least check your levels.
