You also get one on your 60th wedding anniversary.

I organised one for my grandparents a couple of years back. They also received a card from the Prime Minister [of New Zealand], the Leader of the Opposition, their local MP, and a couple of other random politicians and dignitaries.

It's not something that I thought about at the time, but I'm quite happy that it's something you need to apply for. It would be a bit disconcerting if the Queen had access to the birth, death, and marriage records of everybody in New Zealand.
Nix sounds great in theory, but it's just not there yet unfortunately. I tried it out but there were just too many workaround to setup my work environment.
That's why I haven't actually tried Animate yet. I eventually bought a legitimate copy of Flash 8, and paid for the upgrade licenses all the way up to CS6, but when they changed the pricing model to be subscription based I pretty much said "screw this" and jumped ship.

> Politicians need something else, eg science and studies, in order to conduct politics and change/form laws and regulation

If only that were the case. When was the last time a popular politician gave any regard to scientific studies. In politics, it's all about 3 things. Money, money, and money.
> The big bang was an "explosion" of space itself. There was not previously empty space.

I am very familiar with all of this. My question was merely around the opposing concepts of "expansion" and "infinite".

Not infinite size AT the big bang. Infinite size of the current universe.
Explosive bolts are more dangerous when they don't work when they must. That makes them more like the brakes, suspension & steering than the engine & drivetrain.
It sounds like you haven’t used any automation systems. You can do exactly that (and more) with the most popular smart light - Philips Hue. Other brands can as well.
Almost no theories can be "ruled out" in this space. Viruses evolve in crazy and essentially unobservable ways.

Nonetheless, we know there was a close relative documented in bats on the same continent within a comparable timeframe. The clearly obvious hypothesis is that animal transmission was the vector, for the simple reason that this is the way every single other pandemic, human or otherwise, has happened. There is nothing unique or notable about covid from the perspective of viral evolution. Period. So Occam says we go with the simplest theory.

Attempts to wave away that fact have nothing to do with science about what was happening in Wuhan and everything to do with modern political opinions about a government 1000km away in Beijing.

The issue is with the devaluation of mudding of words and language. (which might not be the correct wording)

I don't think it has to be stigmatising, but I do think that calling things by their specific name helps with everyones mindset.

Some words like 'helpful' are fine, because it does wat it says it does. But calling disparate things by the same name leaves the door open for people to mentally align those things to 'be' the same thing, which they aren't. Distinction is important, even if the differentiation isn't black-and-white. Taking some aspirine vs. drinking a nice cup of green tea can both help with a slightly sore throat, but they are not the same thing. (at the same time, I'd argue that it's better to take that nice cup of tea, take a nap, eat healthy, get to bed on time etc instead of covering the symptom with aspirine)

Turning people away from a subject in itself isn't a bad thing; if someone is swayed that easily, they should probably not be entering a world of non-repeatable non-measurable non-transferable items and activities, especially if the people involved can't be held responsible for their actions. It also isn't a pharmacology thing on its own. While pharmaceuticals can help with certain issues, it's not the core of medicine and in certain cultures it's mostly just abused to cover up symptoms instead of used to mitigate or resolve root causes.

But it's a tricky comparison. In the end we're comparing something measurable with something based on feelings and traditions. Those are generally not that reconcilable.
we should definitely shout down anyone who says it, though!
Looking at the source, the progress bar is completely fake, it really does nothing besides making you wait. It even introduces slight delays to make it look more realistic.

Why? Just why? The worst part is that the site is actually very light, with none of the ads, analytics and resource hog frameworks that are all too common these days. It probably could load almost instantly if it wasn't for that fake progress bar.

Edit: Judging by the other comments, it looks like it is some kind of political statement against Javascript. I disagree with such practices but well, that's his site, his choice.

Usually it's when expectations change. In my case, I took on new responsibilities and pushed to be compensated accordingly. I was then held to higher expectations which I was unable to meet. In my case this was mostly doomed fail from the beginning because my responsibilities were in conflict with the company's needs. Small startup, poor management structure, pre-revenue, etc. all contributed.

Your metric of "meet performance goals, get along with manager and skip, business doing well" is a solid way to track things, especially earlier in your career.

Agreed, it seemed outrageous to me 10 years ago but I believe now that Adobe simply focused on a certain segment. I wasn't in it. But that's just it; I had very little money, and I was mad that they'd excluded me. But of course they'd exclude me, haha.

Of all the reasons I've read or heard, this one rings true. HyperCard at least for Bill was bigger than NeXT or Jobs which wont be tolerated. Its mere existence mocks.

Reminds me of Apple's stance on mice with two or more buttons. To this day they still make them so it looks like it has one (or no) buttons.

I've been in the US once, 13 years ago, and it was pretty shocking for me to experience the concept of "car centric" in its full glory for the first time.
I was at CES in Las Vegas and went to some club one evening with a friend. At some point I left and wanted to walk to the Hotel alone in order to calm down and enjoy the nice climate.
Turned out, there was simply no walkable connection between the 2 locations. I couldn't believe it, but - being stubborn - walked anyway, in the dirt along some highway, a bit scared of being picked up by the police, not even sure if walking there was even legal.

Later that week I moved to LA and first saw the endless suburbs of an American city, from the air.

I don't know how representative those 2 places are for the US, but having seen that, I can totally understand why many Americans have a very hard time imagining life without a car.

But that's a ton of cost for something you don't use often or if you're just starting out. That price tag eliminates the low end on-ramp into the products. They moved away from perpetual licenses and raised prices, which ensured there was room for competitors with a lower initial price and "good enough" quality.

Inconclusive evidence. The real message is "We don’t know."

Critical Zoom vulnerability triggers remote code execution without user input
I moved an old GUI based program over to a new system built on simple text menus and letting the user type in a basic subset of commands. At first there was resistance but after a couple of days of using it and some emails the engineers used it loved it because they could do all the stuff they used to do with mouse clicks with their keyboard, most said at least 2 times as fast. So the up front usage wasn't as nice as a GUI but since it is used often a bit muscle memory typing and not having to look anywhere but the screen and everyone but one person loved it. I think he'll come around. BTW, I'm not a GUI programmer, I've done a few but they're always ugly and I tend to like backend much more :) . Hence I chose an old fashioned text version. It's not pretty but it's much more efficient. Yeah I know this isn't for all use cases but in mine I felt it was the better choice.
You can produce a single file binary, with the caveat it includes the entire .NET runtime, which leads to massive build artifacts. Though it is better than no support at all I suppose

> many people weren’t willing to pay

When most people don't understand the implications, offering a cheaper option that's almost guaranteed to inconvenience them (or be a catastrophe, depending on what they're doing) is not a fault that should be attributed directly (and certainly not solely) to them.

Absolutely make a formal schedule and stick to it as best you can. Schedule a day that you would want and be satisfied with. Separate work time and leisure time, otherwise as a solo dev you feel guilty for not working all the time, which makes it harder to start work. Don't expect yourself to "want" to start working all the time, because you won't. That's the mistake a lot of people make. Get started on small, easy tasks that can ramp you up and get you into flow state.

Ex.

8am - out of bed, make breakfast, no phone usage

9am - start working (and make sure you have specific tasks to work on)

12:30pm - lunch break + go for a walk and listen to podcast

2pm - continue working on specific tasks

5:30pm - leisure time + make dinner

7pm - workout

8:30pm - shower, get ready for bed

9:30pm - sleep

No, he's talking about the politically-charged issue of people discussing services to help voluntary migrants get into another country.

But, at least in the case of Facebook, advertising/offering those services isn't allowed[1], but discussing them is; this is a bit of a fine line, but one that is likely trying to strike a balance between letting people share safety and route information while not allowing potentially exploitative traffickers to solicit victims.

It's freed for the same reason it would be freed in C++.

Like C++, Rust relies heavily on RAII, in which resources are freed once they get out of scope. The "CString::new(filename.as_str()).unwrap()" returns a CString, which owns the memory for the C string. Since it's a temporary (it's not being stored anywhere), its scope ends before the next line, so the resources it owns are freed (by calling its Drop implementation) just after the ".as_ptr()" call.

One solution would be to split it into two lines:

let path = CString::new(filename.as_str()).unwrap();
let path = path.as_ptr();

That way, the CString would only release its resources at the end of the block.

With references, the borrow checker doesn't let you do it the wrong way; however, the borrow checker only applies to references, not to raw pointers (which is what .as_ptr() returns).

I've been hearing something similar when I got a PS4 in summer 2019. PS5 is still barely available, and I've had almost 2 years of gaming fun. To be fair, the PS4 didn't have as many rough edges back then. But "no point" is a generalization that isn't true for many people.

I am not sure why you assume that I am American or consume media from those particular countries. I am from Latin America, and I know from first hand the power and the influence of the CCP.

It's funny you mention how free you are while having to use a VPN for most internet applications (I collaborate with people in China and it's very hard to communicate sometimes, the only way to use Whatsapp is through a VPN and they don't have on 100% of the time). Can you use Google, for example? Are you free to choose which app you use? Apple censors apps because the CCP ask them to. Can you criticize your own government (not really "own" government given that you can't even choose it!) without retaliation from the government?

Funny how you think you are free when you are only allowed to do what an authoritarian and dictatorial government allows you to do. Even Winnie the Pooh is banned in China...

1. Is a report on the need to evaluate how prevalent the practice of recycling food scraps from manufacturing as feed actually is, as apparently the FDA (or the author of the report anyway) doesn't have access to good data on the topic.

2. Is advice that appears to be targeted at large institutions that want to _start_ recycling... doesn't really say much about the prevalence except that it isn't a novel idea.

Plus, the original article says:
> Individual households were responsible for more than half of that, with the rest coming from retailers and the food service industry.

Or Google changes its policies to prevent abuse, and abuse just so happened to occur more frequently with some search terms than with others.

$0.02/GB is higher than we want to charge, but we have to pay the same rates you do at most providers. It's a little unfair to call it "highway robbery", though, we have to price things so we can stay alive.

We're pushing that price down pretty regularly, you can read some details about it here:

https://fly.io/blog/we-cut-bandwidth-prices-go-nuts/
to be clear, not path is freed, but what path points to, meaning the result of CString::new(...).unwrap()

Because it is not bound to a variable, it will get dropped before the next line, even if we create a pointer to it. if you would have borrowed instead of creating a pointer this would have been a compiler error because the borrow would have outlived the original object. But a pointer exists outside of the borrow semantics and lifetimes, that is also why it can only be used inside the unsafe block.
The browser experience is pretty decent IMO. And unlike, say, MS Teams, at least it works on all platforms with a reasonably modern browser.
