I have a story about plagiarism.

It was during one of the first assignments of an infamous class I took during my bachelors. For context, the course was in Danish, but it was optional whether the hand-in, was in Danish Or English.

My group had written our assignment in English and had handed it in to the (public) repository.

The funny thing about this course was its structure, each group had to write a assignment, and then peer review two other assignments. This was done to take some load of the professors, as well as teach the students about collaborating on a long running project.

The first peer-review we had, was an exact copy of our own hand-in, though translated to Danish. it was quite unfortunate, I believe they got off with only a remark. But it was quite an experience to review your own work, plagiarized to that extend. Especially as it was in the beginning of the semester.
this immediately reminded me of SGI's Open Performer and the subsequent failed OpenGL++ efforts :

Sure, but the entire point of closing the schools is to force the kids to stay home (or at least stay isolated from others) so just accept the terms mean basically the same thing.

One thing that really bothers me about this is the micro HDMI connector... It's a notoriously bad and unreliable connector and the board looks like it could've fit a full-sized HDMI.
Blame? On the contrary, he went the extra mile to explain why it was the right decision for Denmark, but mindlessly copying it was NOT the right decision for Bulgaria, and people died because of it. Acting like our govt did is a very Bulgarian thing, we even have a saying for it -- "The frog saw they're shoeing the horse and raised her foot."
Inductance is similar to inertia in the water model of electricity.
> Tacky childish mocking of valid concern over the mental health of children, some of whom are truly not doing well, is a garbage take. There are kids crying on a daily basis because of this Zoom shit and the expectations placed on them. While they will (likely) survive, it’s not good for them. I’ve seen kids test scores decline, parents enduring outright mutiny and violence from their children. I’ve seen single parents trying to work from home while their kids, who were already struggling when they had someone to pay attention to them, are screaming at the top of their lungs and breaking things.

Could this be a cultural or geographical thing? Having lived both in Asia and Europe and also visited USA on a number of occasion I find that kids misbehaving in front of parents is more common in EU than Asia.
This is an incredibly important lesson in public communications.

'The Crowd' is dumb, even if it's made up of mostly smart people.

'Fact' and 'Communications' are completely different things.

FYI it's one of the reasons for cancel culture as well. Most people are not offended, or at least might understand a situation given context. But in a flurry of hype, all of that gets lost.

This is multiplied by social media.

This is why people occupying positions of integrity i.e. Doctors, Presidents's of Countries have a double responsibility to the Truth to the point where it should be legislated.

That said - we always need to support legitimate contrarians - but it needs to be based on fact, not hyperbole.

There are some lunatic anti-vaxx doctors on TikTok and I'm really not comfortable with it. 'Free Speech' to disseminate absolute lies is literally costing lives.
Like me, GP might be confused, as two deaths from blood clots among five hospitalized for it were reported last week. Then yesterday, as mentioned in sibling's link, two more deaths were reported (as having happened on March 21). This is where the 4 figure is deduced from.

I don't know the source of this confusion; it might have disappeared in an editorial decision. But as reported in said link, it is certain that three are now dead and five have been hospitalized.

It would be interesting to know why Norway has had such a high incidence of this (presumed) deadly side effect, and why it hasn't been discovered in others.

For countries that have a low incidence of covid, a fatality rate like this among younger people makes it a tricky ethical decision, especially if other vaccines will soon be available. My money is on it either being explicitly pulled or sometimes becoming very unpopular in these countries.

This is one of my main motivations. I also hate bezels. Unfortunately there's just no touch layer that would allow small ones :(

If you want an 8" device there's a fairly good market around 300€ already, with my favorite being the Kobo Forma and the Kindle Oasis also being worth a look (along with some others). Both have fairly small bezels on 3 sides and a thick one on one for holding.

My dream would look about like those devices, but yeah - the touch panel issue. I can't imagine a decent UX just based on buttons yet. One possible way forward is finding/making/retrofitting a reader app that is buttom navigable and maybe having a thinkpad nib as a fallback, but I'm not too sure about that since it'd compromise the UX fairly significantly, I'd say.
The lowest trim lines of many cars still have exactly what you’re describing.

> It's extremely common for people to do it knowing there's a big chance they'll die

Note that I specifically said that people will risk death for a potential large gain.

It's also true that 18 year old men are very poor judges of their risk of death.

> and would have suffered no ill fate if they didn't, probably the contrary

My dad told me that during WW2 if you were a man of military age walking around in civvies, people would spit on you. After the war, if you didn't serve, you were strongly discriminated against.

Would you risk death to go on an adventure and not be a pariah for the rest of your life?

Stallman routinely goes to foreign countries and stays with people who he does not know. It is much more sensible just to write everything down and save time.

I like cats if they are friendly, but they are not good for me; I am
somewhat allergic to them. This allergy makes my face itch and my
eyes water. So the bed, and the room I will usually be staying in,
need to be clean of cat hair. However, it is no problem if there is a
cat elsewhere in the house--I might even enjoy it if the cat is
friendly.

It'd be a bit weird to throw these out in the middle of a casual chat, but these details are extremely relevant to someone who owns a cat and is about to host Stallman. The easy way to get that information to them is to just send them the document.

CEOs and pop singers stay at hotels, where there is a pretty well defined culture of what is to be expected. It is a much stabler environment than some random free-software style hippie's house. Heaven help the hotel that routinely has cat hair in the rooms, it will not get CEOs and pop stars staying there. And I expect Heads of State travel with chefs and butlers to sort these details out in person from a similarly detailed list. Or stay at a hotel.
"Half" is one heck of an understatement.

The exact phrasing you have used here is repeated multiple times in the Twitter thread, and I can only conclude that "pushed out a fix" is what your marketing department has decided to call what you have done.

What you have right here and right now is a public relations disaster. Trust in your brand has been damaged. It cannot be repaired by you providing minimal information. Your standardised message is akin to "Don't worry your little heads over the details - trust us, everything is fine now", and to be honest I find it a bit insulting. As far as we know, "pushed out a fix" could mean that you have hidden the tracking, so it is harder to find. Your short message is making the public relations disaster worse, not better.

These are the steps that you need to take:

1. Provide an explanation of why tracking was being performed in the first place, including an analysis of how much of that was a mistake.

2. Make an apology for breaching your customers' trust. This is a really important step, and it should be repeated in each of your press releases.

3. Provide details on the steps you have taken to fix the problem, and what that means for tracking data.

4. Make a promise that strictly limits the level of tracking that you will be allowing yourself to make in the future. Ideally we would all want that to be zero, and if you intend to do business with certain jurisdictions then you are limited to what is legal, but you must in any case be clear about what tracking you will ever do.

Honesty and transparency are the keys at this point to restoring your brand. I do not think the community will accept anything less.

I seriously doubt most countries are just blindly following Denmark. The much more likely reason is that this specific vaccine offers very little protection against the rapidly spreading South African variant.
It's important to clarify that memory safety is only one aspect of writing safe, secure software.

To this list then I would also want to add and compare: OOM-safety under overload conditions, and fine-grained error handling safety, in particular because error handling tends to be one of the leading causes of faults in distributed systems [1].

To be fair, I was surprised that Rust did not have checked arithmetic on by default and that this needs to be turned on via compiler setting or linted against. The presence of integer overflow in a program can facilitate a whole range of exploits, even with memory safety.

Sounds sensible. To quote John Regehr:

> Java-style wrapping integers should never be the default, this is arguably even worse than C and C++’s UB-on-overflow which at least permits an implementation to trap.

The exact same argument can be applied to not vaccinating too.
Federal UBI and no minimum wage or any other subsidy to anyone.

But that’s not going to happen, so it depends what benefits me and my closet tribe members. Currently I’m in a high cost of living area with very high minimum wages, so I’m for high minimum wages.

AZ ban game in EU has more to do with the internal politics than with the medical argumentation.

For many of the corrupt governments it's easier to say "we don't vaccinate because AZ is not safe" that the cold truth "we don't vaccinate because we were not able to order enough vaccines on time."

The reason why we don't have enough vaccines in the EU is:

- Can't get Moderna, Pfizer/Biontech because "America first"

- Can't get enough AZ because UK was faster with ordering

- Can't get Sputnik, Sinovac because US doesn't want that their vassals buy from their enemies
It's very heavily dependent on where you are in the UK though (as with most countries) the delta between best/worse places is quite large.
Pretty shitty to do this to anyone. The only scenario where firing someone for (legally) using a certain software should be allowed to happen is where it was communicated clearly in advance that using that software is not allowed in that particular job position.

Unwrap is discouraged as an error handling scheme, it's fine when it means "I know this is Some". Every a[i] is an unwrap.
> It's more intrusive thoughts about contamination, and there isn't a spectrum of those traits.

There is a continuum of intrusive thoughts – the continuum of frequency and intensity of those thoughts, the continuum of how easy it is to move on from them, etc. And a single individual can move back and forward along that continuum over time, in response to life events, development/maturity/ageing, and other factors. We say they have OCD if (a) they have enough frequency/intensity/etc of those intrusive thoughts, (b) the intrusive thoughts are sufficiently impairing in their everyday life, (c) there isn't some other disorder which better explains those intrusive thoughts. We draw a line on the continuum, and say this side is "OCD" (or maybe some other disorder), and the other side isn't, but that line is inevitably a subjective clinical judgement call

> The talk about autism though is a different kind of talk; the moderate or severe sufferers are different.

You mention "moderate" and "severe" – what about "mild ASD"? I guess what used to be called Aspergers syndrome?

> Like the person I mention never got better or could use coping stuff

You can't draw a lot of conclusions from a single person. You can't say that people with milder, less noticeable symptoms don't exist.
I really don't understand what free markets have to do with anything in this context.

> being motivated by self-interest usually means collaborating

If you're willing to define self-interest broadly enough then everything can fall under it. Altruism? it's just self-interest because some people simply derive utility from helping others. Self-sacrifice? just self interest because some people like the idea of glory and having streets named after them etc.

> Collectivism is about self-sacrifice

I think wittingly or unwittingly you're playing around with different interpretations of the terms you're using. Altruism and collectivism are not the same thing, just like selfishness and individualism are not the same.

If by collectivism you mean the top-down, oppressive treatment of humans as replaceable cogs in a machine, then we're in agreement - that's inhuman, unnatural. If on the other hand you call basic altruism unnatural, then we're in sharp disagreement.
> What people want is correct programs.

At first order not even that; what people want is programs that behave correctly (or correctly enough for their purposes, which may not be very correct at all) for their particular inputs and execution environment.

Conversely those of us who want the industry to advance the state of the art generally don't want to just produce correct programs at a particular point in time, but programs whose correctness can be easily maintained even as implementations and requirements change. More than that, we want to produce libraries and frameworks that will lead as-yet-unknown programs to be correct.
Well, he described me. I also doubted between an iPhone 12 mini and a PinePhone (the FairPhone was also in the mix). Both (or all 3) appealing for very different reasons.
To answer both yours and the above response:

--> demand for transportation is absolutely elastic.

There's no doubt there - it's easily demonstrable.

If right now you increased the cost of a tram ticket so that the Subway could break even and make a 5% profit, then usage would drop off quite noticeably.

The difference between a 'market rate' and 'free' is very substantial, and it's a first-order misapplication of resources.

Making stuff 'free' is almost always a bad idea.

I actually do believe that we should invest more in subways, because the net advantages are quite a lot (at least in North America we don't invest enough), but my point is we have to be careful about the logic of social spending.

Supply and Demand, basic Economics don't just magically go away.
And often times the repair shops themselves indulge in "replace part after part" marathons and see if it fixes the issue. Both for mechanical and electronic/sensor problems.

Saw the same with a cost estimate to repair a DeLonghi automatic coffee machine (quote was to replace both broken heater elements, the broken pump and renew seals for 270€) when in fact none of that was broken but the firmware had a bug in one of its stats counters (overrun integer brew counter) that was fixed by a fw upgrade.

Hey, just wanted to let you know that I initially [0] closed your site because you don't have HTTPS configured properly (which means visitors get a scary warning page when trying to connect via HTTPS, or leave themselves open to all kinds of man-in-the-middle nastiness when falling back to HTTP).

Are the prisons in the article private prisons? I cannot find a definite answer, but it doesn't look like it.
If anything, it might be good to outsource these to private businesses to get costs under control from $500K/inmate.
Yes, of course the money is coming from the goods sold, and so is the money for all other expenses the shops have.
This is highly offset by the lower property price of being able to place the shop outside the city center (and the additional convenience of being located right next to the highest-traffic road).

So goods were still cheaper in the shopping center than in the stores located in the city-center.

I didn't say this would be the most efficient solution, I just wanted to point out that asking if a transportation infrastructure is profitable, and only looking at it in isolation is silly, because the value it adds to the areas around its stops can highly outweigh the cost of operating it.

> ALL jobs pay better in large german cities, to account for the higher cost of living.

Born and raised here. Pretty sure people being paid minimum wage is a thing both in the city as well as the country side. I would even argue the amount of low-payed jobs is higher in big cities with lots of "disposable" people to do them.

> just that people who stay away from large cities shouldn’t be forced to pay for the comfort and privileges of those living there.

I can say the same for paying taxes for roadwork. I don't need them, still I am paying for them. Especially in Germany, where there is no road tolls and no private roads. The cost of environmental damage also accounts for that.

> Living in a large city has its disadvantages, and one of them is cashing out for the train ticket, out of those fat paychecks.

If you run the numbers you will realise that owning a care here, including repairs, insurance and gas is quite a bit more expensive than getting a subscription for public transport.
> You have to count in contractors though.

Who the UK government made a very deliberate effort to squeeze with the IR35 changes. Now they're shocked-pikachu-face-ing that those contractors are leaving.
You're just a subhuman animal who gets knowledge from John Oliver.
Based on their numbers, they should be archiving their historical data in parquet format partitioned by YYYYMMDD onto something like Clickhouse. This way, they can run a lean Postgres instance(s) at all times yet still get benefits of real-time reporting. Based on their use case, they can retain up-to 30 days of data in Postgres and offload the rest onto Clickhouse.
So what would normally take 8-10 years of well structured clinical trials with blinds, is now considered safe? And when a country carefully shows that bloodclots are occurring with high predictability should just be ignored?
I wonder if the reaction from the vaccination is proportional to the reaction from the actual virus - e.g. would you have been hospitalised with the actual virus?
>So there could be a simpler language with Rust’s safety guarantees if you were willing to strip out traits, async etc?

Well yes, there exists a hypothetical C + borrow-checker language. But that language wouldn't really be significantly simpler, because the borrow-checker is the largest contributor to Rust's complexity. The only things you would have taken away are the more well-understood features, as they already occur in other languages.

The C/C++ comparison doesn't really work, because there is (to my knowledge) no single C++ feature which makes up the majority of its complexity over C. You could strip out independent features of C++ one at a time to return to a simpler language. Rust doesn't have the same property.
Thats not shocking. Its probably due to regulatory laws that transactions are saved that long.

Yes, the people working for GNU/FSF started using GNU/FSF to punish RMS in support of other ideals. Twitter randos may have talked about it but it's up to the GNU/FSF to focus & act on it.
My thoughts exactly. No other european country pays as much as the uk for experienced tech workers. Although ir35 is taking a bite, from what i hear daily rates are going up to counterbalance the issue. However, the risk of outsourcing is real thanks to some silly measures.
Thank you so much.
