>The industry needs to change. Charging all movies the same is ridiculous and just totally counter to all reality about their audience. We have fast food and gourmet, why wouldn't we have that with cinema too?

That might kill "serious" movies even faster. The people that like to watch them don't necessarily have more income.
2 is Copy? It's an integer, could be 2.0 if you wanted to make it a float.

Someone needs to explicitly nail down the mission statement of Rust... because to me it seems to be

Yes. For clarification:

To ship a product from Germany (DE) to Switzerland (CH):

The package forwarding service XYZ is a company registered in both DE (as XYZ DE GmbH) and CH (as XYZ Switzerland AG).

You (the customer) order a package to be shipped to XYZ DE GmbH. That company pays the toll on the goods, then ships them from XYZ CH AG to your private address in Switzerland.

This is basically not a different process than normal shipping, except it doesn't require the seller (in Germany) to do toll declarations and pay the exorbitant DE->CH shipping.

Since CH isn't in the EU, those are really big obstacles. A lot of shops in DE just won't ship to CH, or demand upwards of 25€ for shipping (but not tolls - you'll be out another 20€ or more for that).
I personally was thinking to apply a controller to each client machine and making it control the number of connections to the backend.

You can control for the P90 latency and increase or decrease the number of connections to backend machines.

Similarly the backend can decide to drop connections if it see that the latency of the reply is too high, or if the CPU is too high or whatever other metrics make sense.

I don't see if a similar system would ever reach a stable-enough state.
I prefer pen and paper because it is meditative. But markdown files in my text editor of choice is fast, easy, and simple. Both blow the doors off of Trello/Jira.
Hooray for small businesses, now the giants will get even more entrenched, and more small businesses will move to simply being a reseller on Etsy or Amazon, rather than having their own presence.

And the already rich get richer.
Another point is, if you use big endian on the network, and native is little endian, then if you screw up and forget to do the conversion, you catch it because it breaks. If you use little endian for native and network and you screw up, you never catch it unless you run on a big endian machine. It's a way to ensure that you implemented the protocol correctly in an endian clean way. (Of course you could also reverse the sense of the macros during testing, I suppose.)

Speaking of Fincher and streaming, I found Mank, as released by Netflix, completely unwatchable because of overwhelming compression artifacts induced by artficial grain. I hope there will be a Blu-ray release at some point.
"One" is very archaic, I always fear it will be confusing for non-native speakers, and sound stuck-up to native speakers, and tend to avoid it.
Do you know if the beneficial ownership information is (likely to be) subject to the Freedom of Information Act? I ask because this kind of information can be in the public interest.

Edit: the Washington Post article on this says “ The general public won’t have access to the ownership data, a disappointment to anti-corruption campaigners, who say public scrutiny would help combat criminal activity.”

This is amazing! I'd love to see some benchmarks of Artichoke vs Ruby for macOS Homebrew workloads (its mostly the only time the Ruby executable is invoked on my system).
I had the exact same experience! I found that copying things by hand it keeps the backlog in check and avoids long running tasks.
I think what you’re saying is the wealthy have made it too complicated to tax them effectively or even find out what they are doing with their assets.
It amuses me how the Northern line is generally the right shape, but is upside down.
ah this was perfect and really cleared it up for me! thanks!
Replace AI in your example with the consciousness of a living person you copied (perhaps destructively) into a computer simulation.

Do your conclusions still stand ?

And an actual AI migh be as complex and sensitive as such a copy of a live person or possibly even more.

Sonny Bono aimed for copyright to be in perpetuity. Now that's a scary thought.
Not sure, if anywhere other than London is moving away really. Especially considering bad public transport outside London, many people has to stick driving to city centres with cheap diesels. My manager was paying £30 road tax for his old diesel whereas my ULEZ compliant car costs above £330.
Wow that's really cool how far they have taken it. I always thought they just need a keyboard with 10 keys, but that might be a bit difficult to learn. Now I am thinking it might be worth building, just for the fun of it.
I dunno. I get two days out of my Apple SE. Doesn’t seem too much of a bore charging it.

Java didn't invent that, it is only a new iteration on an old idea.

I remember that when they announced Java in 1994 I thought about the p code system from UCSD I used in 1986 on a Z8000 Unix machine from Onyx (sp?).

You aren't imagining it. The Great Gatsby was in public domain for a few years until the Copyright Term Extension Act 1998 added 25 more years.

This created a complications because lots of classical works that were in the public domain had to be removed from sites like Project Gutenberg. Apparently, popular, long dead authors are supposed to support their great grandkids from those royalty checks.

I wrote a school book report on The Great Gatsby from the text hosted on Project Gutenberg. And when I had an interest in looking at the text again imagine my surprise to find it no longer listed.
As robin_reala indicated, they do. This wasn't clear for along time and it didn't really matter because computer companies bundled software with their hardware; it wasn't something that anyone was particularly interested in selling independently. But this started to change and, over time, it was established that copyright did apply to software.

(One reason why copyright might not have applied to software is that it's "just" a set of instructions. We're seeing this argument repeated at some level with the Google-Oracle tiff over APIs.)
This is awesome! I've been looking for an open source alternative to my Fitbit since Google bought the company.

I'm really just looking for something that can track my health data + sleep and has an api to get the data in a raw form for further analysis.

You referenced Wikipedia articles - says a lot about your inability to properly conduct research. How about referencing the original sources instead?
This a great observation. Robotics requires a strong foundation in mathematics, control, embedded and similar, something that is unheard in typical software engineering roles. Plus, there is a "real-world effect" - if something works in simulation there is no guarantee it will work in the real-world (especially if the simulation is not properly designed). The software has to written in multiple programming languages, often minimum is C, C++ and Python. And everything stated here are software challenges, there are also mechanics, electronics and expensive equipment.

In summary, it requires more than a few tutorials to get started, it is multidisciplinary, and you have to deal with the unpredictable real-world.

You’d think it would be possible to make like Python bindings or something though.
I'm pretty sure they do; even established stores have started carrying them around here. Check out the website as well; there's a bunch of variations of that watch now.

I have the original Bip and am very satisfied with the hardware (lasts forever, looks pretty good) and somewhat satisfied with the software (good selection of watch faces, it's gadgetbridge compatible, but activity mode is a tad bit too easy to enter and too hard to exit)
> I kinda agree with you - it will be the case even within the EU (albeit with fewer steps) that VAT for anything must be collected and remitted from the sales country to the purchasers country.

But unlike the UK import VAT scheme, the EU system will not be mandatory for sellers in all countries worldwide.

> It doesn’t take much imagination to see that this could be expanded worldwide, and that as well as paying postage you must also pay the tax to the carrier to submit. This is analogous to how some countries charge arrival / passenger taxes. (UK APD, US - various ‘security’ and ‘arrivals’ fees) You usually pay this to the airline and they must pay it on your behalf.

One can hope :)

Way back when I saw a report on hackernews about secret exposure from websites that deployed directly via a git repo as a webroot and didn't block access to .git/

I added a cheeky message to my site's .git/ folder if you attempted to view it.

About 2 or 3 months later I started getting "security reports" to the catch all, about an exposed git folder that was leaking my website's secrets.

Apparently because my site didn't return 404, their script assumed i was exposed and they oh so helpfully reported it to me.

Got like 4 or 5 before i decided to make it 404 so they would stop, mainly because i didn't want to bring false positive fatigue on to "security exploit" subject line emails.

I have a feeling CNAs are bringing this kind of low effort zero regard for false positive fatigue bullshit to CVEs. Might as well just rip that bandaid off now and stop trusting anything besides the debian security mailing list.
I'd guess eBay will enter the scheme as a marketplace, so eBay sellers themselves won't need to bother.
Ah, I don't see sleep tracking. Gimme sleep tracking and I'm in!
You might be right. I was just trying to offer a data point and offering a speculative extrapolation.

If I've decided to "make a night of" a movie, the ticket price is almost irrelevant. I guess I'm applying a very narrow stereotype but most of the "serious movie lovers" I know are fairly well paid. I'll pay for quality. Transformers - I wouldn't go even if it was free.

I just feel like there's something being squeezed out of the equation here.
Pine64 has announced that they will open online retail stores in certain regions, including Europe and North America, this year:

https://www.pine64.org/2020/12/02/pine-store-community-prici...

These new stores will offer a higher standard of customer service, but the products will also be priced higher. The original community Pine Store will remain available in its current form.

If your definition of computer includes microcontrollers then we indeed have computers embedded in about anything.
You want essentially a hybrid product manager and developer role? That would be way too much for one person. There wouldn't be enough time.

Indeed they do, but the situation is different enough in other ways to have other implications.

Addendum: the fact that a transferred consciousness could inherit evolved traits such as pain (psychological if not physical), fear of death and so on would change the analysis as well. Those have no reason to exist in a constructed consciousness / GPAI.
The author doesn't appear to care about the impact of technology, merely its existence.
I doubt you would. A large app each would have hundreds of changes like this. It would get pretty boring after the first dozen or so.

> Variables can be varied... you can increment, decrement, do whatever you want with them.

Variables by themselves are not much. They inherit the properties of the type they are bound to. So what you can do with them can be as restrictive or as permissive as the type allows. That type can be a pointer/reference as well.
Any source on that? I tried searching for it, seems like Kalanick does have a new venture called CloudKitchens but can't find anything on whether the phrase 'cloud kitchen' itself is trademarked.
I actually thought about buying a Wacom, because I make so many small scratch notes I throw away afterwards, to later find myself really needing them again. Besides, having hand drawn diagrams together with the code may serve as excellent comments.
There are already quite a few alternatives in the comments, but I’ll just add that I have really come around to the Tailwind way of doing this. On my current project, I haven’t had to write much CSS at all other than a handful of animations, and it all looks consistent and custom. It’s a breath of fresh air.
I wonder how those features pass Apple review? It's easy to disable those flags to get review passed and enable them later.
You are wrong.

It doesn't always swap. Look at the assembly I posted above comparing mips64le to mips64be.

The code takes the byte at b[n] and shifts it (8.n)-bits. These are the same bytes on both little endian and big endian machines. They read the bytes in the same order (little endian), and convert them to the native order.

You can also see very clearly that it doesn't always swap by looking at the simple x86_64 assembly output that the was posted where no shifts or swaps are performed. Just a mov instruction.

Read the assembly. Or better yet, try the code out for yourself.
I built a web app that would setup secret Santa groups. You could add friends from Facebook or just manually and it had a neat feature where you could group individuals that you didn't want to "get" eachother, eg you could group couples in larger friend groups so they didn't get eachother.

It used a genetic algorithm to generate the pairings and handled all the messaging so the organiser was also kept in the dark about who got who.

I slapped an Amazon ad on there and it worked great, but I never bothered marketing it so it got very little usage and eventually I took it down when shutting down an old server.

I learnt a lot about mysql and genetic algorithms, both of which I've gone on to use extensively in my job so it was well worth it overall, just sad it didn't generate a bit of passive income :/

QuantLib, a free/open-source library for quantitative finance
I used to love posting detail about what I change in my apps. But now the text isn't really surfaced - folk have automatic updates turned on, and the text is deep in the app store now.

My changes are mostly technical when I use the "bug fixes and performance improvements" text, but I tend to write more for the app store reviewers to let them know what is going on. I know they read it.

In the end my audience of users are very non technical. I am authentic to them, that is the image that I sell my apps with, and I am good at it. So they just don't care that I've updated library X, or improved error handling somewhere, or I support Apples latest devices now. They do have faith that I am doing the right thing, and they write to me as if they know me, and I like that.

It's actually pretty great. For all the wrong reasons, but that doesn't detract from its greatness.
With a tip of the hat to Alan Kay, it's not that great leaps haven't happened since 1996 (or 1980). It's that those things were not part of the story until they were subsumed by the pop culture:

These are changelogs for end users, not fellow developers. In fact I expect that even these "one line notices" will be dispensed with in future as the concept that any software or device requires an always-on connection to the Internet becomes fully normalised. Apps/devices will simply update and that's that. You won't be given any sort of option or toggle. Does anyone seriously ask the govt NOT to maintain a road or bridge? Such will be the case with software too.

Individual freedoms and privacy have no future in the direction technology and society are going.
agree here....this is something I have tried to make an effort catching myself on more and more. creating makes me feel so much more satisfied and motivated to do more.

I think you're mistaken. This is about anti-money-laundering, not tax.
Yeah. Sure, there were service-based architectures (SOA), some automated testing (so CI/CD I guess), containers have been around forever (BSD jails and then Solaris Zones), configuration management, etc., etc. But all of those things are vastly different than they were 25 years ago. [EDIT: Not 15. Can't do math this morning. Though even 15 is pre-iPhone/most mobile.]

> Text is much more informationally dense than audiovisual multimedia.

This has it backwards. Audiovisual multimedia have far higher raw bandwidth than text. I agree with your (implied) point, though, that text remains the preferred medium for technical use cases like programming for good reason: humans can't parse a firehose of audiovisual stimuli into precise mental constructs.

Text's typically linear structure and low information density are precisely why it has yet to be superseded, I think.

This is really cool. $25 is quite impressive too. A GPS would be killer though.

But doesn't quite scratch the itch that I've got for a higher level open source wearable or tablet (think IP67 Raspberry Pi tablet or watch) The key is that like this watch, the hardware is done and "consumer" ready.
Not really, especially in NYC.

We need to leave behind the idea that vehicles should be first class citizens in cities, especially in crowded areas like around Washington Square Park.
> Another standard, time-honored pedagogic device is the dumb joke: “to understand recursion you must understand recursion”, and so on.
These confuse recursion with cyclicality.

I thought most forms of this joke centered around the definition of recursion, which nicely mimics a definition of a function that references itself. I am not sure what the author is getting at.
For quite some years now the rule for Companies House is that a director may provide an office address and that's what is shown in the public records. Companies House will still ask for their home address, but it isn't public.

There are actually three levels: A public address available to anybody who knows how to enquire, an address available to a large number of authorised users, including Credit Reference Agencies, numerous government agencies and so on, and finally a home address intended primarily for law enforcement (e.g. if the director is to be arrested it wouldn't do for police to have no idea where they live). You can set them all to be the same, but you don't have to.

The reason for the last extra grade is that in the UK there are businesses which are legal but broadly unpopular. For example, somebody is breeding animals that will be used for medical research. Historically protesters have harassed the directors of firms like that, vandalized their homes and cars, physically attacked them, or threatened their lives. Such directors are entitled to request that their home addresses be suppressed from most uses for this reason.

It's a milliamp-hour.

The processor draws about 220uA [1]

so you have about 818 hours (=34 days) of CPU time, but you need to take display current out of that budget too, and an easy source for that probably exists, but I can't find easily.

I think I'd argue it's not "totally automated" unless skipping the changelog generation step was the intention. In which case no need to justify that with any reasons, that's your (valid) choice to omit some documentation. We used to maintain our "customer-facing" changelog as we merged the associated code but that did create work when trying to release and finding some people had forgotten to provide an entry, which ultimately reduced release frequency. So now we don't include a changelog in the release itself, we create it after the fact and it's more of a "living" document hosted online (having to create another new release just because of dumb mistake in your latest changelog is really annoying). For those that are really interested, they can check the commit logs. For those less interested, they can wait for the online changelog to be written. It's likely they'll only have to wait a few minutes. Obviously the former is easy for open-source projects. I'm not convinced our new way is better yet but I'm willing to wait and see if the release frequency improves.
Same here. Not only does it save battery life; it ensures the display is always on and looks way better.

The Pebble Time had a Sharp Memory LCD, I'm not sure what the Amazfit Bip uses.

It's baffling that there are so few electronics in general that use E-Paper/translective displays. Does anyone know?
Strictly speaking no one uses big endian, all computers I know of are either little endian or mixed endian ('mixed. because they do strings low to high but numbers high to low).

The only reason that big/mixed endian is even an issue is because some monks fucked up back when the Moors were driven from Spain ... in the wonderful libraries that were left behind they discovered Arabic numbers and realised how useful they were, far better than the clunky Roman ones - for a start a small businessman could do addition just right there on the page, writing the digits from smallest to largest as they went - sadly as I said the monks screwed up and copied the digit order from the right to left written Arabic into western languages without doing the sane thing and reversing the digits so that they continued to be written smallest to largest (so that you could do addition without knowing how much space you needed for digits until you were done).

And so we're stuck with this silly artifact of history that has caused decades of arguing as we slowly rediscover the utility of putting the smaller digits first, as they were always meant to be
