As much as I feel that Firefox isn't delivering, Brave just extends a browser engine monopoly which is dangerous for the web. Google can decide to change a fundamental part and suddenly 90% of all users will have it because they use the same browser engine.

I would've embraced brave had it written its own browser engine or simply picked something non-google.
Note though than in Northern Europe "coffee" means generally drip coffee, and you need to specify espresso/cappuccino/etc for the Southern variants.
Is it really silly though? The author of trace.moe has to label and store each anime episode somewhere, and use CPU power provided for free to search through these indexes. Adding regular TV series and movies to this dataset could really dirty what gets returned when the service is just about letting someone find out what anime some screenshot is from.

The FAQ says they've indexed most of post-2000 anime and very little of 80s and 90s anime. It mentions you can even use a similar drawing of the scene to get a match, due to the method they're using!
> the old values of honor are still valid.

Putting someone who is 60 year old in jail for 43 years for simply sharing a video is not "honorable" to the slightest degree. In fact, this barbaric and cowardly action shows a complete lack of honor on the part of the royal family. It shows weakness; it shows moral evil; it shows corruption.

I would add that the King fled Thailand because of COVID-19, and "rules" from Bavaria, so he's also a coward who abandoned his country in their hour of need.

Generally, the term "values" usually means a justification for the purest and rankest evil, so I'm not surprised.

It is definitely different.

I believe this should be possible.

Because, IIRC, xscreensaver is launched on demand (idle timer, power management), and that's a terrible time to detect the extension and tell a user that they won't be able to resume their session, because their Xserver is too old.

Also, because of piecemeal releases, and remote X. You might update Xscreensaver, but not your X server or desktop environment. You might have a dedicated X terminal which can't easily have its server component updated, but you run remote sessions that have an updated Xscreensaver. (Btw, if you do this, you're pretty dedicated in 2021)
Indeed, WASM will probably be a niche compared to what GraalVM offers.

Hilarious but brutally honest description of state of laptop aspect ratios!
Even Thinkpad brand has fallen to the meme of 16:9 screens... I remember all the hopes we had for a 16:10 or 3:2 Thinkpad retro :(
I use the "send tab to another device" feature a lot, and it's true that sometimes it isn't fast enough to be considered real-time. Sometimes tabs appear instantly, sometimes they don't appear for minutes, and sometimes restarting the browser triggers tab reception. In any case, it's already an awesome feature.
16:9 is a dumb aspect ration that assumes that you'll be only and always using your laptop to consume media (movies, specifically). I'm really really glad it's finally dying.

I have been using a 4:3 ThinkPad T42 with a 1400x1050 display in my teenage years and I cannot be happier.

Tall screen are just better. I remember editing a document on that 1400x1050 display was a pleasure, whereas all my schoolmates were scrolling up and down because they couldn't fit a single page on their screen (at a reasonable font size).

While I think these debates healthy (when they're civil and well grounded), found out that I don't have any preferences for one over other for things like array indexing.

Every language has its own design decisions based on some requirement or opinion, and while I have rather strong preferences about languages, these kind of design decisions doesn't strike any nerves.

As long as it's usable, that's fine by me.

Is there an analysis comparing the automated to manual approaches? I mean, people are biased, too. The models are more systematically biased, but can also be more systematically evaluated and de-biased. Which is better, the old or the imperfect new?
yea doesn't make sense. maybe they are using a small sized screen and are getting confused by that.

personally on a laptop i prefer 3:2 for most things but on a larger monitor i like 16:9 since you can have two programs side by side.

on a 16:9 smaller laptop screen, having things like two file browsers side by side works ok, but having programs with lots of ui, adobe premier or photoshop, not so much
Trump pardons former Google self-driving car engineer Levandowski
Maybe! An infinite crash loop is also usually better than a security vulnerability, so I think it would be a win even without that.

Also this bug (and probably most other bugs xscreensaver has had over the years) wouldn't result in an infinite crash loop anyway.
Citrine is also 1-indexed (https://citrine-lang.org/#lists), I think this would help people who are not developers to read and possibly verify code a bit easier. Of course it is just a small step, but I feel code in general is drifting away from the normal users, who seems to be confine to graphical interfaces. Wasn't it an objective once in the software development community to try and make code as accessible as possible?
Given that python versions are incompatible by design you should probably explicitly refer to the version your code supports. At least that is my takeaway from this mess.

> Again on 0-based vs. 1-based indexing

The problem is within the phrasing and its premise: Are you using an index or an offset? 99% of the time I think of an offset, so "first" makes sense as "0". If you go by indexing "1" suddenly makes sense as an index. When people say index in the context of arrays or data structures usually they mean an offset. To me it's simply wrong phrasing.
Not convinced that is the case. I do not pepper my code with +1 and -1 while using 0-based indexing.

I can think of a lot of cases where I would do it for 1-based indexing, but very few for 0-based indexing. If you want to make the claim that there similarly many, you're going to have to come up with some substantial examples.

EDIT: This is actually wrong, because it doesn't correctly describe how negative arguments are handled.

It can be phrased mathematically like this:

Consider the equivalence relation a ≡ b (mod n). It has n equivalence classes. Use 1..n as the canonical elements for the classes.

mod1 takes a number, finds its equivalence class and returns the canonical element.

This reminds me of the classic XP login screen bypass by opening the help dialog, then the print dialog, then searching for a file to open for printing, and then executing 'explorer.exe' (I might be misremembering, this is quite a while ago).

I also remember figuring out how to share my USB key as a network drive to other users. Many fun middays were had blasting around in Halo or Soldier of Fortune II with like 10 friends, although less fun was had when our school's sysadmin found some lingering cache files that were owned by my id.
No. The correct thing is to adopt a license I understand.

AGPL is okay.

I'm not hiring a lawyer when I'm selecting a few tools to benchmark. I'm not using EC until I've had the license reviewed by a lawyer. Ergo, redis or similar.
TSMC is not really that important. It’s currently only useful for the cutting edge of CPUs, and especially for mobile phones, that can get the battery boost from using a more efficient processor.

Military hardware uses CPU technology that’s 10+ years old, of which the Chinese are capable of fabricating themselves on the mainland. The stuff needs to be rugged, and likely, radiation-proofed.

And besides, isn’t it easier for Switzerland to just launch missiles at the bridges, instead of actively maintaining explosive devices on each bridge?

None of that matters in civil proceedings, like divorce or child custody hearings. Even pictures of Facebook chats are admissible there. If those are more important to you (even if they're not happening yet), I would still understand the choice to go for these.

Furthermore, admissible only matters to a limited extent. It means someone won't go to jail based on this evidence alone. It doesn't mean it doesn't get considered at all. Even then, there's hacks, you could have someone from the company testify to the results of the kit and what the results mean, for example.

Using these kids deprives the government and public prosecutor of many options and places a lot of power with the individual. That weakens the case, but that may be a good trade for people. I'm not sure giving people extra options between keeping silent and going full-on nuclear with zero control and uncertain result (the government route) is such a bad thing.

I can also see why a person with this job (and the conviction that makes one take a job like this) would consider it a terrible thing.
> There are literally words you can say in so called 'Western Liberal' countries that can get you arrested or charged with hate speech.

And a good thing too.

Not at all. For example in Germany, you can't be a Nazi or show Nazi symbols. Why? Because Nazis murdered millions of people in death camps, not because "Blasphemy".

Hate speech, death threats: these are illegal in civilized countries because these things have been tremendously destructive to society in the past.

Hi! I'm a game developer that has been making online games for a bit over fifteen years.

This is a touch overwrought. If you make an online game people cheating at it and dealing with them is the cost of doing business. The people that the developers need to worry about aren't some random person learning to reverse their code and messing about but the companies that exist to do this for profit. A casual search shows that Among Us already has a burgeoning sector for this.

Further these public investigations are a great way for developers to see how people can reverse their game and fix the issues.

I've never been more relaxed too, here are some more pointers:

1. Realise you're lucky to be in this position to work from home, as opposed to medical staff and being depressed is a luxury.

2. You are not a code machine, amount of code written is not a good measure of how productive you are. Better think of how much you contributed overall or learnt something new that year.

3. Your work is not your life, so focus and even obsess over other things such as hobbies and spend more mental energy on that rather than worry about your job. Your job just pays the bills nothing more.

4. Find online ways to socialise such as playing online games. If you're introverted that should be enough to satisfy your social needs.

On Tuesday morning's broadcast (after the long holiday here in America), The "Money Honey" (Maria Bartiromo) expressed genuine concern that Ma was being "re-educated" by the Chinese Communist Party, though she did so in the context of a clip showing a popular talk-show personality (Katie Couric) suggesting that [the 74+ million] Americans who supported the current president should be "re-educated" (that is, subjected to "brain washing" to "clean" them of their undesirable thoughts). I join all of Wall Street in hoping that Ma is okay and his creative spirit continues --maybe we can get him back to Los Angeles (where he spent much time prior to launching his Chinese initiatives).
[[For those outside of FinTech: Bartiromo is perhaps the most well connected financial reporter in the world and the first lady to report from the floor of the NYSE. She is a large part of what made FNN/CNBC what it is today before moving on to larger digs on FBN and has enough clout to launch her own financial network anytime she chooses.]]
I read her paper, her Tweets, the press and almost all the conversations on this topic and that is the conclusion I ended up with. She's making a career out of trashing people who have made real contributions to the field, while she has generated mostly critique without any actionable insight, new breakthrough or solution.
I don't care about the ratio, but please give me tall screens, with a reasonable absolute size in the vertical direction. I hate the modern trend towards stupidly short and fat screens.

You don't need special X support for having a lightweight process monitor.

I'm imagining 2 processes:

1. Process monitor shows a fullscreen black window. Launches xscreensaver --lock or something as a child process

2. Xscreensaver shows the lock screen over the top of the process monitor, with a password prompt

When the correct password is entered, xscreensaver signals to its parent process. Then both processes close gracefully.

If xscreensaver crashes without signalling, the process manager silently restarts xscreensaver.

None of that requires any changes to X. You'd just want to be sure xscreensaver is displayed on top of the process manager's black window.

Another way of looking at it is that the federal government entrapped Randy Weaver on weapons charges when he didn’t want to do their leg work, and when he didn’t show up to court, they killed his entire family.

In other words, taking terrorism “seriously” sometimes is done in ways that involve killing innocent people and inciting more blowback in the long run.

2. Encourages people to run within the democratic party.

3. Was accepted and recognized as a candidate in the democratic primaries of 2016 and 2020 (even if the race was somewhat rigged against him).

4. Is endorsed by the democratic primary when he runs for Senatorship in Vermont.

5. Refrains from criticizing the leadership of the democratic party, even when their positions and policy are opposed to his stated positions.

6. Went on tour with DNC chairperson Tom Perez to convince people to support the party, after the 2016 elections.

7. If that's all not enough - he was a top appointed official of the party: Chair of senate outreach efforts as of 2016; see : https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/11/16/senate-democr...

Physlock works comparatively well, but nothing can stop the omniscient stupidity of, eg ctrl-alt-del 10x (or similar) invoking reboot, which I've found no method of preventing.

> They should still be prosecuted, just not for terrorism

“Terrorism” isn't an actual crime you can be charged for regarding acts within the US (terrorism outside the US is a specific federal crime, as is material support for terrorism—the latter of which references knowing support for a wide range of crimes under the ambit of terrorism, a number of which seem not implausible to be justifiably charged against participants in the capitol insurrection, such as conspiring to kill or kidnap the President, Vice President, any member of Congress, etc.)

> If this becomes our new bar for terrorism charges then don’t be surprised when you wind up on a no fly list and get a knock on your door after attending a protest.

The “no-fly” list doesn't require being charged with anything, anyhow, much less “terrorism” specifically,
True, but there are examples where 1-based indexing is easier, like returning the last element based on length. I think array[array.length] is easier to understand than array[array.length - 1].

Or the predecessor of the last element: array[array.length - 2] makes you think, whereas array[array.length - 1] is more obvious.
