Russia actually did try to come close to EU(more specifically the West, which includes the US). This was before the US invaded Afghanistan. Russia started co-operation with the NATO on information sharing regarding the terrorist activities in the AfPak region. And also provided some logistical support. In return Putin not only wanted to be part of NATO, but also wanted close collaboration with the West on all matters from finance, tech, media etc. Basically Putin was trying to integrate Russia with the West. Unfortunately, that co-operation was ended once the invasion of Afghanistan started. Putin might have felt that he was used. He went back and started a "modern-style" warfare against the West i.e. cybercrime, social media propoganda, taking down of Russian-origin collaborators of the West etc. This was very well presented in a documentary I saw few years ago on the analysis of Russia's political maneuvering against the West. Unfortunately I am not able to recall the name of that documentary.

> Uhh, does it mean swapfiles are undertested in the Linux kernel? Or is there some "non-normal" extra testing that is being run for non-rc releases, but not for rc ones? (!?)

My understanding is that is the point of RC builds, they are the builds used for testing before a stable release.

Why would you not read it?

As you dive deeper into Nazi era history a lot is based around the question who knew what, how plausible the denial of that person or this organisation was. Seeing the publicly distributed book that may or may not contain specific details regarding plans for war or "The Jewish Question" for yourself is an excellent starting point, no? I agree with other commenters here that the read was not particularly good, but definitely insightful.

I actually do not agree that banning symbols is bad: Especially the Nazis really had a hand for designing good looking stuff, and that will bleed into pop culture if you don't stop it, unconsciously associating the Nazis with "cool". Just look at the Hydra organisation in the Captain America Movies or Japanese Anime, where using Nazi design language was obviously not taboo. Of course, as you said, banning a symbol does not eradicate it, but it does not have to to have positive effect.
Huffpost and yahoo answers as a source...
That's still incredibly sketchy.

What any sane engineer would do is to keep testing these cars with a safety driver and gather anough information/miles to claim higher statistical safety than a human driver, while keeping track that those miles were really in fact driven without intervention/(or with predictable and managed intervention). Once they would have those numbers, then they would know for sure that the car is safe and they could release/manufacture hundreds of thousands/unlimited number of units to the market. If they didn't - it means either the car really isn't tested or it doesn't do what they claim it does.

Releasing a 100 vechicles just doesn't make sense, unless the claims are somehow shady or misrepresentative.
I think the problem is also that people don't push back individually, even within their own minds. There's too much receptiveness to morality, and not enough of the stubborn "don't preach at me" attitude.

Most accidents happen where Tesla autopilot isn’t being used like city driving and exiting and entering the freeway. Sitting in one lane on the freeway is the safest thing you can be doing and any car with lane centering and adaptive cruise control can do it. That’s why those numbers are a joke. I use autopilot everyday day on a 45 mile commute and my only accident is entering the freeway where my car and another car merged into the same lane.

-> Why?
To prevent glorification of the ideology.

But I was factually wrong ; It is not illegal to sell them, at least in the countries I had in mind (France & Germany).

However in France it is forbidden to exhibit them. So in order to be sold they must only be described but not shown.

Yahoo & eBay do ban the sell of such items, notably since being sued for that.
Freedom of speech is the most essential negative freedom (freedom from), it means you are not bound and limited by something external, while positive freedom is a right to something, like education or similar institutions.
The freedom of a publisher to control what happens to sold books isn't at all part of negative freedom (freedom from).

I'm basing my understanding on the Two Concepts of Liberty by Isaiah Berlin.
Ok, so “racially insensitive” material and explicit pornography are both legal currently. Are you saying that eBay should be forced to allow their users to sell both, or are you saying that we enact a new law that says that eBay should be forced to allow their users to sell “racially insensitive” material, but not explicit pornography?

What does a publisher's reversal about their wants have to do with selling books they already printed?

I don't think(?) eBay globally banned selling of past copies of Meinkampf while the copyright was cleverly held by a German State. Doing so is pretending copyright is a right that extends to sold property that is a copy, extending a right too far, while banning a class of books like MeinKampf for your own reasons is perfectly valid.

If they want to ban racist children's media on their platform then they should. That includes a lot of TinTin, popeye, Tom and Jerry, etc, that has never been classified as racist by some copyright holder.

We hear about the bad anecdotes most. My own personal anecdata - two people out of about 14 I knew with confirmed COVID died, one other was laid up in hospital for weeks, the rest were all fine, quarantined at home without bad symptoms beyond sensory impact, and recovered quickly. Most were fit/mildly overweight, some were obese, the hardest hit examples were both quite old with existing heart problems.
Besides being a micromanager's dream, the whole concept of "blockers" in agile/scrum is just a way for companies to blame developers for the company's lack of resources and poor strategy (i.e. the team is too small for the amount and complexity of tasks, so there is no time to properly define and break down tasks, focus is on quantity/output instead of things actually working, management encourages a lone wolf mentality, etc.).

If you don't care about delivering broken software and having high engineer turnover, scrum is just fine.
I find this very disturbing and wrong. This is exactly when moderation turns into censorship.

I understand why certain material can be deemed dangerous or wrong to have in public. There might be information that is intended, or has very high likeliness to be used, for harmful use. It can be filtered out - although I believe it will most often just keep it in the dark. Think "how to cook meth at home" or "how to make a bomb". Thats another talk for another day.

But this case is driven by fear of public opinion, people being offended (too easily) and trying to erase events from history.

If you see a negative or wrong stereotype used in literature, use the chance to talk to the kids. That will break down stereotypes and teach kids about the time that they are born in.

Also. Hitler happened. It's a thing. Reading "Mein Kampf" does not make you a nazi or dangerous. It makes you informed. Censoring it out does not change the fact that it happened. And we need all generations, current and future to understand the horrible that has happened. Not just the beautiful things.

Ebay and Amazon (and I'm sure many other companies) should show some character and have a bit more backbone!

The fix makes me feel a little uneasy.

It changes the behaviour of swap_page_sector() to take into account the offset. But swap_page_sector() was already used before the bug was introduced, a few lines earlier in the bdev_write_page() fast path, as introduced by this commit from 2014: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/dd6bd0d9c7dbb395100...

So either:

1. The bdev_write_page() call was also broken, and has been for years, or

2. The bdev_write_page() uses the sector value differently, worked fine with the old swap_page_sector(), but is now broken with the new version, or

3. The change in swap_page_sector() somehow doesn't affect bdev_write_page(); maybe it's a noop when using swap files?
> since there’s no fraud protection you still need trusted third parties to broker any exchange where fraud is a possibility.

The whole point of DEXes is that you dont need that.

Maybe in ETH's case but highly decentralized non-mining networks already exist. Cardano for example is Proof of Stake and has rules in place where the more a pool has the less it earns so centralization is disincentivized.

I have read that before. It talks about a deadly cocktail of 3 laws, CAA, NPC, NRC. Out of these, the nation-wide NPC and NRC laws don't exist, even in very rough drafts. So I am really not sure from where the author of this piece is drawing all his conjecture from. It also re-repeats some same half-facts about CAA that I dismissed above. Maybe the author is time-travelling mind-reader who knows more about some future laws that even the law-writers don't know about?

> >Perhaps you can give examples from these three houses that is anti-muslim propaganda?

> maybe this might help you. Its a well explained piece https://theprint.in/opinion/indian-media-waging-holy-war-aga...

Let's dissect this piece step by step.

1. I mentioned the three big media houses by viewership (NDTV, AajTak, Times Now.) Two of them are not mentioned in this piece, so the "all media houses are controlled" statement falls flat right here.

2. This is not an well researched journalism piece. It not even a journalism piece at all. It's an explicitly stated opinion piece that is presented as such. No one in the world considers an opinion piece as a fact. This is what an actual, well researched fact filled piece looks like[1], with all specific facts and details. If you can produce a detailed piece of journalism like this proving your point, then I will believe you.

3. Even if we consider this opinion piece as not opinion, it is very light on facts. It does not mention any specific big government produced propaganda pieces that are being pushed. It talks about some media (not all) houses talking about some issues to gain ratings. But that is not 24/7 government controlled propaganda. Not even close to the old Triumph of Will standards, never mind all the modern spectacle that is possible today with technology.

If "girls" was defined in the dictionary as "a group of people", then no, I wouldn't care, not in the slightest. I wouldn't try to convince others that the dictionary was wrong, or that some definition I subscribe to is somehow more accurate.

The team I'm currently working with are exclusively of Indian heritage, I'm white. They often talk about Bollywood films, what they did for Diwali, etc. Should this make me feel awkward or excluded?

I don't really care if the company I work for is overwhelmingly anything. I usually manage to find some common ground with any person on an individual level. I don't really consider what the identify as, or what social grouping they've been deemed to belong to, as having any significance.
Fun anecdote, but what is your larger point?

Do you think the skinheads then went on to join a moderate left party because they could actually read their party program?

At the point where you are already committed to an ideology to the point you drastically alter your appearance, you are hardly going to be deterred by a slightly harder to get book.

On the other hand, I don't see how anyone is going to turn Nazis by reading Mein Kampf. The book is hardly relevant today and a mediocre read at best, so the only ones that will make it to the end are academics, people seeking context or people that are already committed to Nazism anyway.
We are planning to fix it some time in the future, we really only expected moderate usage of `dart2native` and only on Linux. Turns out that there is demand for using it all over the place, which includes Mac and Windows and requires things like signing support... And to make executable signable we need to make them real Mach-O / PE executables and not weird concatenations of bytes.
“Making science accessible to everyone is important to us. That's one of the reasons why GeForce cards can run CUDA.” — Bryce Lelbach at Nvidia

AMD meanwhile considers GPU compute as a premium feature... which is a different approach.

Not having a shippable IR like PTX but explicitly targeting a given GPU ISA, making this unshippable outside of HPC and supporting Linux only also points in that direction.

Intel will end up being a much better option than AMD for GPU compute once they ship dGPUs... in their first gen.
That was an enjoyable read.

Oh no... He predicted WASM.
unwanted/unplanned forking is a "threat" in the sense that it causes uncertainty. Idk about this specific project and how they handle this but for example the XRPL has amendments which come with software update but are not enabled they are open to votes. Each amendment must constantly get over 80% positive votes for 2 weeks to be accepted. The validator nodes who voted against it are overruled by this they must install the latest version to be able to vote on the amendment therefore they do have the code and if the consensus is to enable the new code their node will do so. This prevents forking.

Intentional forking as a feature is ofc still possible. Validators owner who disagree with an amendment to the point that if it is accepted they would want to stay on the "old chain" and thus fork it, can simply remove the "yes" votes from their validator list essentially ignoring their votes and thus separate from each other. By the time one cluster enabled an amendment and the separated cluster does not, a fork happens*. This requires some kind of coordination and is unlikely to happen unexpected. A largely unpopular amendment would simply not reach the 80%. And one that reached 80% is unlikely to be consider so bad by the remaining 20% that they would want to fork. But the possibility is there it just never happened in the 8+ years its running.

*ofc it would also go the other way around. An amendment that wont reach 80% could also cause a cluster to intentionally separate and enable it there which would also case a fork.
There's a bit of a discussion here, you can promote either option depending on how you frame your hypothetical which means this particular framing doesn't add to the conversation. Take "medicine" and "side effects on a minority". Suddenly you can consider option C) as a perfectly reasonable one.

The problem is you didn't focus on the real critical issue: why do the ends justify the means? "The ends" for medicine is saving thousands of lives. The ends for bullying is making one person feel better about themselves (maybe?).

This is the question you need to ask when you wonder "should we ban a book".
Well I suggest you stop working with colleagues you describe as psychopaths ASAP for the sake of your own mental health. I could never work with a developer who sacrifices the company's / team's business goals for a line in their own CV.

But it's indeed first and foremost the managers failing not recognizing these attributes in their team members, and not working to fix their attitude (which clearly is the underlying problem here). Imposing more process will not fix the team not caring about the product / business.

If you are not up to changing jobs, I'd suggest you try openly bringing up your concerns in a retro. Unless, you actually don't care about the product yourself either?
The difference between scrum and agile as I see it is that scrum is proscriptive enough that you can tell it doesn't work.

Agile is vague and handwavey enough that you can never really be sure that you're doing it or not. I think that was by design - a badly written rulebook won't spread as easily as a religion you can project your own hopes and dreams on to.
> Emails have their Pro's & Con's - I prefer them, but not everyone is able to be precise and on-point in written language. Also, you need to be able to express your feelings in written language.

This is exactly the opposite of what professionals do. They should be able to write well. It is not optional, it is an expectation. Feelings should not be part of a technical discussion.

Humour is rarely appreciated here, but I found this funny and on point.

Battery technology announcements are always extremely over hyped. Mostly by media and PR departments rather than actual scientific or domain specific outlets.

Stress and anxiety often results with real physical symptoms, like high blood pressure and it does make your skin go as you described. My main giveaway was when you mentioned cardiovascular symptoms, but your cardiologist was not concerned. And then there's the feedback loop, where the stress from the symptoms causes more stress.

I am not saying it is. I wasn't aware that ebay still sold Mein Kampf, which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing. I read Mein Kampf it's really not that special. But I meant selling Mein Kampf as children's books. And I don't think Dr. seuss is hitler. On the contrary, I think they are miles apart.
I am just tired of all the pro-capitalist, pro-freedom people who are telling some company that they aren't allowed not to sell a book. Just start your own platform then and sell the things that ebay doesn't. Nobody will care. I certainly won't. That being said, I think it is good that old books, traditions and stories are held against the light of racism and discrimination.
I have a DVD of old Tom and Jerry, growing up I only saw the newer clips as I learned by seeing the recsit crap the old ones were. Same for some of the older Tintin, I have them as part of a collection, but my dear are the early ones set in Africa racist. Good as historical pop culture references, but by no means something to read, or watch, for fun or without some context.
But that's the opposite of my experience with agile and Scrum in the companies, where it is used as an excuse for non tech managers to enforce what they feel works better for them. In terms of control or, in some cases, micromanagement.
I would say you're going to lose that bet, China and Russia are making a completely different order in their backyard. Don't even think the EU has competent enough diplomats/stateman, coffers deep enough to entice Russia to decouple from their China partnership. Just look at the shit show that has become Europe's covid and vaccine response also the shit show of the EU diplomatic mission to Russia recently.

Given the Belt and Road Initiative(marshal plan ultra ultra) and Shanghai Cooperation Organization(NATO extra extra light). With NATO it hard to say which way Europe will go, our leaders might say go east Europeans while the big boss in Washington DC says stay where you are. God knows how many active operation Gladio like cells the US has active in the EU. To keep Europe separated from the greater Eurasian project China and Russia are building.
