My fantasy UI would be a sort of large flat desktop plane, with ~infinite zoom. FVWM and other do have the one large desktop space that you scroll around, instead of discrete virtual desktops, but I want to see the ultimate version of that.

A vast virtual plane that you could scroll and zoom around, drag your files/content around, make groups with marked delineations like a map. Obviously there would be some kind of grouping and minimap if you zoomed out enough. Documents should be represented such that you would simply zoom into them to access their content, you wouldn't open files or start applications, everything would be represented visually and the editing tools you need would be presented as you zoom close enough. A document would be represented as pages you could flip through or spread out for a larger overview. Videos could be simply viewed or spread out into frames/segments with editing tools.

Content would not be a "text file" or an "image file", it would just be a delineated piece of content, which you could add whatever type of content to, by calling up the relevant tools.

There would be no discrete applications as such, just content and flexibility, I want it to be seamless and integrated. In some ways similar to UIs seen in Minority Report and other sci-fi movies, but without the Hollywood flash and gimmickry.

I'm aware that there are a lot of complications and practical limitations, but it's an idea I've toyed with for a while, and I'm not sure I've seen people really attempt something like it for practical use, only bits and pieces.

Technical "details":

“The attack starts with a password brute-force on the MySQL service. Once successful, the attacker runs a sequence of queries in the database, gathering data on existing tables and users,” said Ophir Harpaz and Omri Marom, researchers with Guardicore Labs, in a Thursday post. “By the end of execution, the victim’s data is gone – it’s archived in a zipped file which is sent to the attackers’ servers and then deleted from the database.”
So I would not say that the borrow checker is a middle-man. The borrow checker does impose constraints on programming, but at the end of the day it's only relevant at compile time, and you still end up with code which maps in a predictable way to the hardware. If you hand me a synchronous rust code, I can imagine, at least in some approximate way, which set of assembly code would be equivalent.

An async runtime is a totally different animal. If you hand me a block of async rust code and ask me how it will execute, the answer I have to give is "it depends on the runtime". This is the disconnect I am talking about.
You probably talk about UX than underlying technology. https://nppa.com.au/fraud-and-security/ they say they have fraud control similar to that of banks.

Can you summarize what would make these books so sensitive/controversial?
While citizenship is a privilege, not a right, decades, or maybe centuries of bureaucratic procedures pile up and are not reviewed/simplified ending up with situations like that

Add the factor that the public service does not have the same kind of incentives (and being a native of the country makes you know about the ways of making things work - foreigners don't know that usually)

Granted, not all countries are like that. And while people might complain about German bureaucracy, they at least make an effort to do things by the book (meaning: if your appointment says a certain time, you'll be seen at that time)

And American bureaucracy also has its quirks and complications when seen from outside.
Sure, I’m not sure I’d actually call it the Best Film Ever, but it is a great movie. Part of its importance, compared to some of the other movies you’ve mentioned, is the story of how it got made / that it got made at all. Welles had zero film experience, yet was fully funded, and the movie itself was a direct attack on one of the single most powerful men of the era. Welles himself was a larger-than-life character and that’s probably half the reason we are still talking about Kane. Art isn’t created in a vacuum, after all.

I’m not sure what a modern equivalent would look like, but imagine a $200 million studio film that eloquently attacks the heads of CNN, The NY Times, and another half-dozen top media firms. That sort of thing would never get made today.

Thanks for the other suggestion though, I’ll look into it for sure!

The key point here is that a company can create shares.

If investor buys newly created shares that money goes to the company.

If investor buys existing shares that money goes to the person who previously owned the shares.

I think your confusion comes from thinking about the percentages rather than the number of shares.

> Doesn't campaigning for depriving users of the choice to use the App Store make you "feel like a jackass!?"

What "CHOICE" are you blabbering about? Can you install an app on the ios independently without resorting to risky jailbreaking on your iDevice?

With similar closed Apple ARM processors (like in the iDevices) now on the Mac platform too, Apple is moving towards denying us CHOICE on the macOS platform too. (And for all those who want to reply that this is not going to happen, Apple is boiling the frog slowly - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog ... Apart from the closed Apple ARM processors, the latest version of the macOS already CRIPPLES firewalls to allow any Apple authorised application to bypass the firewalls to spy better on its users, and to exert more control over the device (worst case e.g. killswitch).
There is a yawning gulf between the present day neofascism and "right wing" politics as practised at the turn of the millennium. These people maintain about as much distance between themselves and what I would consider to be genuine, pragmatic "right wing" political discourse as, say, the distance between Goebbels and Harold Macmillan.

Interestingly enough they only mention it being unreasonable for x86, it would be interesting to see SEL4 supported for ARM (of which SEL4 already has a verified kernel for).
Or the irrational idea of a "dog-whistle" making this a thought-crime to discuss.

Because, "of course", "rationally" nobody other than a fascist or such would care for tradition and traditional values or use such terms positively.

Only whether you're traditionalist or progressivist or whatever is a value judgement and a world-view, not something to put as rational or irrational. Those that say the opposite irattionally impose their value/preferences as "rational reason".

Thanks for admitting that you're a shill for Israel.

But not sure why you're speaking on behalf of Europe then.

> Europe has and will continue to benefit immensely from diversity and multiculturalism, and we must be actively working to break down the barriers to a positive demographic transformation. Enforcing historical birthrights is a form of explicitly racist discrimination against non-European migrants (being especially harmful to Africans) who disproportionately benefit their new nations and who are desperately needed if Europe is to thrive.

No, that's just your SJW opinion. The countries involved can't wait to vote as far right (nationalistic) as possible.

I wonder why that is? Maybe they should send their trillion euro welfare bill for 1+ million illegal economic migrants to you. Britain found out that, "The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money." I guess you're a slow learner.
Why do IPOs involve guessing about the eventual price of shares? Aren’t there auction mechanisms that could be employed to smoothly discover the price?

I begrudgingly have to agree. Google will try to monetize the data somehow but not outright sell it, while Fitbit might have sold it directly if they stayed independent, especially if they struggled financially.

But really, neither Google nor Fitbit are the biggest worry, the mere existence of such health tracking devices already is the problem. Health Insurers and even life Insurers will ask you to submit your data "voluntarily". Right now, there are plenty of insurers already who offer rebates on premiums if you wear a health tracker and submit data showing you meet some goals[1].

My guess is that in the future policies in many jurisdictions will become prohibitively expensive without the "rebate" you get for wearing health tracking devices, if this goes unregulated (or any such regulations are not enforced). Insurers might force you into "voluntarily" sharing your data this way, and may even force you into "voluntarily" sharing historical data when you apply for a policy.

My German insurer offers to pitch in I think 90 EUR to buy a fitness/health tracking device. They cannot ask me or anybody for the data (yet) in return for rebates or amenities, due to regulation, which is good. However, I already dread the day when our politicians decide that to "help people stay fit" and "encourage people to stay healthy" and "help reduce insurance costs for regular(!) people(!)" the regulations need to change to allow such schemes.

Desqview is a name I have not heard in some time. Pretty revolutionary at the time, for someone who only knew traditional DOS, and was a sign of other multitasking window managers to come.
But, do we? You've assumed that. And, even if we do, what relevance does that have to my arguments?
I am a bit split on that one. I see the convenience of using the app store, but I try to buy directly if I can. I lot of tools for power users have problems with scripting when containerized, direct purchases are much more convenient if I need to buy an upgrade license (which means cheaper in the long run) and developer gets more money that way.
Job titles are a really bad way of working out what you should get paid. I think you'd be surprised what people with different job titles get paid and its why we created https://peerwyse.com.

It's a salary site based on individuals rather than job titles. If you have time for a user interview I'd love to talk to you.
I'm pretty sure we can stick to "there are actual people who support Nazi ideology" without turning it into "anyone who slightly disagrees with you." What is an intellectual exercise for some is a matter of existence and survival for others.
Me too, and I've watched many of my friends go through this as well.

Basically, some people have jobs that are analogous to abusive relationships. Easy enough to get into one when you depend on your job to get money. And it is rarely a good idea to wait until you're "ready" to get out of an abusive relationship.

Usually they ask me first. I give them the answer of wanting to know more about the position and the company. They push back and I throw in a number I am comfortable with.

But this is usually much before offer letter.
This sounds nice but whenever I hear something like this or any kind of philanthropy, I always think of all the people who missed out because of some technicality. What about people who were in the final stages of studying to be a nurse and were waiting for the government to send back some paperwork to begin work on the front line and they missed out on the citizenship by a few weeks... Or people who lost their job through no fault of their own and were sent back to their country just before the pandemic.

I don't like philanthropy because it creates more cracks for people to fall through and more inequality based on luck. Citizenship is a very big gift. Kind of like a lottery. It's a huge deal for many people. I hope it went to very deserving people.
Sounds like a total power move. I'll try to do this next time.
That's just life, a ton of frivolous court cases are literally the same circumstances but IRL.
> The time and space complexity are both O(n)

Actually the worst case time complexity is O(n * m). To see why, imagine searching for a big string of the form "aaa...aaax" in the much bigger string of the form "aaa...aaax".

The analysis case for average time is more tricky. You could intuitively think that it, too, should include an "m" term, right? But if strings are uniformly random then the probability of finding your way in to the n'th character of the needle from any given start position decreases geometrically (1, 1/256, 1/65536, ...). Since the sum of any such geometric series is a constant[0], we end up with O(n) * O(1) so it's just O(n).

[0]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_series#Sum
And do you think that's acceptable? That Apple gets to decide what apps you can install and run on your system or else you have to jump through hoops (sometimes potentially risky ones when you consider jailbreaking) to do so?

>Collectivism killed hundreds of million of people in the past century alone.

So? The western states killed and enslaved just as many under various names (from christianity and manifest destiny, to democracy and free trade and "the free world").

What happened in the name of an idea doesn't mean the idea is bad or that what happened is an inevitable part of the idea.
>Ayn Rand begins with axioms, and logically derives her position from there.

There's no way to arrive "logically" at value judgements.

You can just use logic as a klutch to support your pre-determined positions (and, of course, which is totally rational as a practice, to spread, support and enforce them).
Which I thought was wrong, but even Wikipedia agrees with you:

"A zero-day (also known as 0-day) vulnerability is a computer-software vulnerability that is unknown to those who should be interested in mitigating the vulnerability (including the vendor of the target software)."

Personally I have always used it as "there is not mitigation / patch available". Thanks for pointing me in the proper direction.

To be fair, AirDrop requires you to be on the same network as well, as otherwise the devices don't have any way of communicating. If you're already on the same WiFi, it'll use WiFi but if not, it'll connect to each other via Bluetooth (eg, connecting to the same network [a network of two devices]), but the setup of the connection is automatic.

Maybe Snapdrop can do something similar with the new Bluetooth Web APIs.
At least they've confessed now.

France always had a way to citizenship called, I paraphrase here, "citizenship by blood spoiled". Quite often used in case of members of the foreign legion. It basically says, that when you get hurt or wounded while serving the French Republic you are eligible to become a French citizen. Fair enough, if you ask me.

If you have for instance a service which displays hundreds of images on a page, using cookie authentication which hits the database every time is quite slow.

It's not a SPA that can run without a backend, so no. Most of the clients will need to connect via the backend which is currently run at wss://snapdrop.net/server/webrtc. Without it, they won't be able to penetrate NAT and will be unreachable.
Higher resolution monitors do not necessarily draw much more power! Most of the energy goes into the backlight, which is largely constant irrespective of the resolution of the LCD panel in front. Similarly with OLED, the power consumed is mostly a function of the total lumens the panel puts out, not the size of the individual pixels.

You'd need more powerful video cards, sure, but for typical 2D graphics, the difference is on the order of 5-10W, which isn't exactly going to boil the oceans...

There's quite a difference between "not being perfect" and the continuous letdown and disappointment that is Mozilla management / decision making.

Mozilla just shattered an extension ecosystem and now there's like 10 extensions left. You can do store extensions in Nightly, but you now need a firefox account to do so. (And you have to press secret invisible buttons, not joking.) Non-store extensions are apparently canceled.

It's a power grab all the way down. We wouldn't make excuses if Google did that and we shouldn't make excuses if Mozilla does it.

Current Mozilla does not behave in a way that would demonstrate that they are a good steward for Firefox or the open web.
Exactly this! You're watching your kid playing instead of taking part of it. You're missing so much fun. Do simple things - moving and talking teddy bear, making small object disappear in your palm etc. and you'll see how impressive it is for kid and you'll get involved and enjoyed. Try it!
What's good for some people is often bad for some other people. Win-win scenarios are very rare.

As a thought experiment, if you gave half the population 1 million dollars, then that would drive house prices through the roof and the unlucky half of the population would be enslaved to the lucky half paying high rents. The lives of the unlucky half would be absolutely ruined. There is no good there. It's zero-sum but in a way it's worse because it was 100% luck and those who worked hard were punished.

To have real equality, you need equality of opportunity. Equality of outcomes is not equality; otherwise it's not equal if someone sacrifices less and gets more rewards; they are privileged, they are fortunate.
