> So, at the same time, and for the first time in the six election cycles they've gone through, every single cloud provider came to the same conclusion and course of action without any outside pressure in a way that provides more evidence for antitrust behavior. It's a theory, but not a good one.

Why is the businesses and politicians aligning a significant thing for you? It should be terrifying.

Also no outside pressure? A small group of employees pushed this for the entire lot. That’s outside pressure.
> that is what killed F# effectively

F# has been an unwanted child of Microsoft, it actually adopted the language from Microsoft Research. As a language, F# is _very_ good (although not as good as the original OCaml, whose features had to be cut to be able to run on CLR). It's just not first-class citizen, so not everything may work with F#. And F#'s own development and features are blocked on CLR -- instead of F# charting its own path, each feature first has to be available for C#/CLR and only then will F# developers implement it (higher-kinded types are just one example).

But it's still much more pleasant "syntactic sugar to write the CIL bytecode" than C# can ever be.

> even Scala is dead

I beg to differ! Thankfully, Scala is very much not dead. Scala 3 is around the corner, with many more features and, even more importantly, several simplifications. And the community is also much larger compared to F# (or any other ML language, like Haskell). Innovation also takes place in the realm of libraries, like ZIO for example.

"Faecal occult blood" (FOBT) home test kits have been around for years. And they don't require sending a sample back to the lab, you just poke a few holes in a turd with something that looks like a mascara brush, put it in a test tube and wait around for a bit. It's super simple. No lab required. If the result is positive, you talk to your doc and possibly have a colonoscopy scheduled.

Not sure why this article talks about sending samples back to a lab. Maybe the 100% at home self test isn't approved in the US or something?

In my experience this is usually a recipe for unhappiness, similar to choosing a college major by “following your passion.”

If you want to enjoy working on FOSS, choose to solve a problem that lots of users need solved, the more mundane the better, then make your whole backlog focused on what the user tells you.

FOSS needs product / market (of attention) fit like anything else. Unless you are your own user for a real use case, you need other real users to be the sole driver.

But the board has an HDMI output, however the description doesn't describe the specifications on display processor / GPU functionality, or even if it's just a simple framebuffer, etc. There's specifications on Video processing, but I get the impression this is for camera / video input, not output.
> Europe dug it's own grave here by not funding its domestic tech sector enough and sleeping at the wheel while US and China were stealing their lunch from underneath their nose.

IMHO it's not a failure of the technology skills but rather a huge failure of the elites and management (and how management is educated in European universities) - everything was sourced out and lot's of small companies died due to mismanagement - also instead of nurturing the highly educated former east-bloc countries they were crushed by neoliberal politics to avoid having more competition for western european firms. So the whole of eastern europe became a factory hall for management in the west.
I understood that is a distribution, not correlation. So, in an abundance context, you have the blue distribution, in scarcity you have the black.

Not that I personally agree with this ideia.

I think OP’s point is that there is plenty of questionable media on Tik-Tok.

Your point about what they like is irrelevant to that point.

Twitter should have banned Trump once it became clear that he had lost the election, if not much earlier. His Twitter account serves no unique public benefit; he is the one person in the country who could make a public statement for immediate dissemination on national television any day of the week. Twitter did not need to serve as the petri dish wherein Trump's pustulence festers and spreads. They did it for the financial benefits.

> "5. Why not ban the CCP or Ayatollah Khomenei or many of the other odious and even genocidal characters who populate Twitter today? This tweet still stands: https://twitter.com/khamenei_ir/status/1263551872872386562."

Well...why not? Ban 'em!

> "6. This summer, Slate and many other media organizations condoned violence in explicit terms. Murders are in fact up a great deal this year. Given that incitement to violence is manifestly acceptable to Twitter in many cases, can you articulate the relevant standard in more detail?"

This is a train of spurious claims. Slate wouldn't agree that it explicitly condoned violence, and the suggestion of a causal link between Slate/others and murders is absolutely baseless. The false equivalency between public resistance to police murder and overt insurrection is not worthy of serious consideration. Twitter would not say that it manifestly accepts incitement to violence in any case, and the question at the end is so vague as to be meaningless.

Was there a poll taken of the feelings inside prior and during these events which was then proclaimed to the protesting parties and the public at large? Is there any indication that the vast majority had any idea of the intentions and the contents of the pockets of those who sought to do harm? Does the moral quality of an action change depending upon the style of pants? The ethics of actions of others does not at all depend upon your feelings.
Considering these tests detect blood, and not all polyps (cancerous or otherwise) bleed, there is no way that this is as accurate as a colonoscopy. Maybe if you take into account that more people are willing to use this test than a colonoscpy, it can be as effective because more people get tested. But that's on population level and not on the individual level.
And finance people. Like, when I worked for a FAANG we found it hard to get senior people as the company wouldn't benchmark against finance companies, thus no-one would work for them.

Additionally, the late hours necessary in a satellite office don't map well to senior+ people, as they will often have families and children.
Two questions:

1. What are the educational invariants? I would worry that someone trying to disrupt the education space would try too many new things, and lose the basics along the way, so I’d want to know what the fixed behaviors needs to be.

2. How did gamification go? It was very popular there for a second, but nobody is reaching for it on the shelf now. Why is that?

Not a tiktok user, but I know instagram also fills your explore feed with the content that your friends like. So even if you're tailoring your likes to appropriate posts, your friends may not be.
The OP did say they used it daily for six months though, that really ought to be enough interactions for the app to personalise to the users choice.
It sure feels like we're swinging back to the pre-PC days where code portability and interoperability was sacrificed at the altar of vendor lock-in.
This is the age where the last legal distinction is removed, there tend to be a lot of age related regulations that change over the years before that.

18 is pretty much only reasonable when it directly aligns with a legal requirement. Otherwise it is not the most reasonable, but the most lazy choice.
It's so odd seeing an HN comment talking about the US legislature being competent and effective.

The thing I wrote about freedom has nothing to do with US or Parler or Facebook.

It's a general observation that restraint of locally strongest entity doesn't necessarily give you more freedom. It can (and often does) give you less.

And when it comes to Parler my concern was Amazon, not Twitter and Facebook. Why should hosting provider be able to choose whom he provides basic infrastructure? Was Parler illegal content they had to remove by law? Should they cut their electricity and water supply to the creator of Parler too because they don't like their content?
Okay.. I concede, 32-bit is a rookie mistake. I didn't know that. Wow. Did they not account for millions of daily active users in a Twitter competitor...
For that price you can get a decent SOC with ARM64 too.
What, since when is GCC implemented in C++? I don't see any of that: https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc

Maybe in libstdc++, but what else would you use there.

I wanted to know what register allocation algorithms GCC implements, but I can't even find it. It's all files with cryptic names and hundreds in one directory. You can find _even less_ documentation, talks and blog posts about GCC internals :(
Educational use of the Apple II wasn't about policy though, it was just that the Apple II was already incredibly popular and had lots of software (Visicalc for example, the first spreadsheet) available. It's commercial success drove educational adoption not the other way round.

Conversely the BBC Micro was picked as a winner by the BBC back when it's predecessor systems were also-rans. This drove educational purchases, and ultimately led to ARM.

Honestly the main thing that drove the US tech sector was the invention of the integrated circuit, and massive scale. Europe back then was still very balkanised, the EEC (which became the EU) was only just getting going.

Fully agree with your last point, Europe was and still is much more bureaucratic.
What a copout. Just respond to the first question then:

Please show me any evidence that BLM were calling for violence against people.
> PSD2 still applies. That was integrated into U.K. law long before Brexit. It would take an act of parliament to unwind.

It's not that simple. The FCA is no longer an EEA National Competent Authority and UK Third Party Providers must register with an EEA NCA to continue to operate in the EEA. Domestic legislation which put PSD2 in force is of course still UK law, and domestic TPPs and Account Servicing Payment Service Providers can continue to operate together (even using the same eiDAS certs), but they cannot engage in open banking with the rest of the EU/EEA.

PSD2 and its supporting institutions (EBA, EPC, ECJ) no longer apply to the UK.

> Additionally the U.K. has generally been on the leading edge of open banking, which is why our standards weren’t identical to the EUs for a while. It’s going nowhere, and pass-porting will make no difference.

Internally, maybe, but UK TPPs and ASPSPs can no longer interoperate with EU/EEA TPPs and ASPSPs unless they register with an EU/EEA NCA, and thus become subject to EU Directives. Again it comes back to your definition of "open banking". If you mean only UK banks and firms being able to operate an open banking scheme, then you are correct that this will continue. If you mean open banking as defined by PSD2, it has already come to an end in the UK.

> The only real impact of Brexit is the open banking entities will need to register separately in the U.K. and the EU, and be subject to two different regulators. But that’s just paperwork for the most part.

So either UK TPPs and ASPSPs have to abide by EU Directives (if possible - the UK legislature may diverge from the EU in unreconcilable ways), or the UK has to maintain alignment with the EU indefinitely. Doesn't seem like just paperwork to me.
I don't think likes are actually a big signal, it's mostly based on watch time in my experience.
TikTok and Douyin are made by the same company, but it appears they don't share content across networks. You're comparing apples and oranges.
Even Facebook bought a lot of Indian Airport & newspaper Ads when the EU lawsuits were working up.

WhatsApp's actual ToS mentions they do have access to location data.
You know what you can run whatever you want on? Linux and a myriad of other open OSes.

Just stop using Macs/Windows. You can have it better. You deserve to be treated with respect.
In fairness, TikTok and Douyin (mainland China’s version of the app) have no access to each other’s content. It’s totally possible that the CCP allows/mandates different managing styles for the different markets.
> In theory, a world of information abundance would bring the best to the top. Using a classic Econ 101 argument, competition should benefit consumers by improving quality.

That argument makes a giant chasm of an assumption about the mechanism of the market.

In fact, the main driver of the market is the profit motives of publishers and advertisers.

Whilst it is true that one way to profit is to provide sustained long term benefit to consumers, that isn't the only viable business model. A competing model - short term appeal to consumers with long term negative health impacts - co-exists in the market and competes for attention and spending.

Right - this hopefully isn't too nit-picky because it wasn't the focus of the article, but this is probably more about the author's stereotypes about what is healthy versus what is actually healthy. If you look at the longest lived people in the world (e.g. blue zone people), they don't control their diet with "surgical precision", and they don't sculpt themselves in state of the art gyms, and they don't rely on sensors to tell them how their body is doing.

They generally just eat a variety of simple foods in moderation, and perform low impact, longer lasting light exercises like walking or calisthenics.
That was 5 years ago.

By now, video editors and sound mixers are heavy windows users, because there's no halfway endurable Apple machine that you can purchase that supports 128GB of RAM and 8+ CPU cores and NVIDIA CUDA. Because like it or not, almost all video editing plugins use CUDA for acceleration.

The industry standard for movie mixing supports: macOS Catalina (10.15.7), macOS Mojave (10.14.6), and High Sierra (10.13.6).

In other words, they didn't even bother with Big Sur yet.

Yes, but the per core performance favors the M1.
Teenagers have always been dumb, naive and very curious to explore their incipient sexuality, the awful thing these apps do is to exploit and monetize these traits while broadcasting them to the whole world.

Anyone know what video(s) was removed?

That's my problem with this type of censorship - now I want to know what was so bad YouTube felt the need to remove it. If it's that bad and was said by the President, it seems like it may be something I should know, but now I can't easily know. Why do tech companies get to decide what information the average person can or can't easily see? Part of the blame is on Trump for posting all this stuff on these websites instead of somewhere like whitehouse.gov.

Let's say he hypothetically called on his supporters to commit a terrorist attack at the inauguration. Now Youtube is putting anyone who attends the inauguration in danger, because they are withholding information from them.
Can Low-Code Break the Programming Box
The difference with those systems is that the different versions are coded in the package name and that they only go so far to provide different versions of packages are that are designed to be installed as such under different sonames, because they're binary distributions.

On Gentoo, they are permitted to rename these libraries arbitrarily since software is compiled locally, so my Krita can be linked to Qt libraries with a different path than your Krita, so if ever Qt would break a.p.i. or a.b.i. despite it not updating it's soname to reflect that, Gentoo could elect to manually rename them and compile what need against the appropriate paths.
> for instance, writing a driver for your USB HID device isn’t possible there

It is possible through the "MFi" (Made for iPod/iPhone) programme: that's how custom iPhone accessories that use the Lightning port work: they get to write their own user-mode driver for the USB port. Ditto for "Classic" Bluetooth devices.
