So, how about coal mining, or working as a cop in a heavily crime-ridden city, or other jobs that one might reasonably consider unacceptably dangerous? Is there a special legal status for those? If so, you could put prostitution into that category for starters (at least until legalization makes it safer). (If not, then I would consider this unemployment policy rather invasive.)

How about working as a rabbi or a Mormon preacher? Or as someone who distributes leaflets for a Republican politician? There's probably a special status for those, too, right? "Against my fundamental beliefs". You could put it in that category too.

Acting would be another case. You have to wear costumes and perform the actions that a potentially creepy director wants you to! (And I've heard it's not that rare for this to actually be of the form "director wants an actress to wear a revealing costume and then makes sexual advances on her".)

There's no other option when someone on the same research team later sends them 4 diffs, 3 of which have security holes, than to assume they're still doing research in the same area.

This is what happens when you do a social experiment without at least informing someone in the organization beforehand. There's no way to verify whether it was well intentioned diffs or not. So you must assume it's not.

I’m confused. Bernie Madoff died in prison. Can you clarify your comment? How is it relevant to this thread?

I think defendants should be compensated for fees and other damages for any level of failed prosecution, especially if they end up wrongfully incarcerated. If abusing the justice system has to come out of the budget, I think most of the incentives to do so will start to disappear.
Honestly there are tons of examples of runaway bills on both, and neither provides much better of a way to handle visibility of cloud billing than the other. We could discuss the limitations of AWS' billing estimation systems ("only visible when you look!") or GCloud's budgeting system (which has notoriously questionable "limitations" https://www.theregister.com/2020/12/10/google_cloud_over_run...), but neither of the two are particularly better than the other at avoiding surprise billing.

There is this bias effect that is not common only to this part of the thread but this entire thread, and perhaps any discussion of "which cloud is better" where people who are clearly invested in one platform or another show biases that help them to justify their (or their company's) lock-in decisions.

This is not to say that cloud itself is a bad call, but it's crazy how many people out there don't realize how their situation and fear of "making the 'wrong' decision in the past" affects how they discuss the options (or even how they reinvest in a particular option later!), and how they claim "actually that vendor is worse than mine"

I have larger development investments in both AWS and in Google Cloud. They each have pros and cons but runaway billing is a gotcha of minute-by-minute rental billing of compute, storage and network services (the "cloud") and how we use it, and not really something specific to one vendor or another. It's just something that you have to be constantly aware of, constantly monitor, and work to avoid.

> Before the year 2025, when Windows has switched from the NT kernel to the Linux kernel

> continue to have a closed-source UI toolkit (e.g. Cocoa on macOS).

The comparison isn't apt. macOS can use BSD licensed programs because it's allowed to create derivative works that are closed source. Anything constituting a derivative work based on the Linux kernel has to be open source because of the GPL's virality.

So unless you think Microsoft will be willing to keep all their custom software restricted to userland (requiring basically everything else to be GPL) it seems extremely unlikely that this will happen. Microsoft is going to want to continue developing an operating system, not merely a Linux distribution.

Obviously I'd love to see it happen, but I find it extraordinarily unlikely for these and other reasons (backwards compatibility? Continuity with previous sysadmin tools?)...

The logic is "human traffic happens because prostitution is not legal" how is it different than far-right activists saying "police shooting people to death happens because people commit crimes".

You need to wake up seriously. it is not because you think it empowers women and should be legalized that there isn't a huge human trafficking issue to address even when legal (and in some countries it makes it worse). It is a myth and it is dangerous to communicate the lies that legalizing will solve everything when talking about human lives.

I've shipped a commercial game in Godot 3.2. I'm also well versed and shipped games in UE4.

All I can say is working with Godot is an absolute bliss. Seriously, it's fun, it's "easy" and it gets out of the way. Within a couple of weeks, you can be focusing on making your game, rather than a constantly evolving tech-demo.

There are only two caveats: understand what Godot is not good at, 3D open world / large landscape, and console development.

Godot 4.0 was a total mess the last time I tried it though. The Vulkan stuff was completely half baked and the UI was acting out. Godot 3.2 though, solid fun.

Both of those reverts suggest those were just non-malicious contributions that the maintainers reverted just in case (and reapplied after review). If that's the proof, then I think you are mistaken. Maybe put another way, if someone says "noptd has bad intentions, so I'm reverting all of noptd's contributions that were committed to stable" the reverts themselves are not proof that malicious commits made it to stable, and that noptd has bad intentions.

They've had 5(?) years to do that already but they gained initial success and then sat on their laurels while off-brand competitors tried and failed to break into the market.

I tried a couple of cheap Tile competitors but they all wanted you to use their apps and thus weren't very valuable. I almost bought some Tile products around the last Apple event in Fall 2020 but waited because I thought AirTags were going to be released then.

I'm still tracker-less so I'll be picking up a 4 pack of these and I am excited to use them. Here in the US at least, Apple has great marketshare to support a service like this and a proven track record with Find My already. I'm planning a cross country road trip that starts in about 2 months, and I'll feel a lot better about not accidentally leaving my wallet behind at campsite or hotel while I'm in a rush to get back on the road. Then, even if I did, all it takes to hopefully get my stuff back is for someone with an iPhone to walk by it to update it's location.

Unless Apple royally screws up this rollout, I don't see how Tile can continue to dominate marketshare for this sector.
Yes, and corporate interests are looking at great opportunities. Actually moving toward being for it.
I have a GET response. I want to know if a particular element has a CSS style. I don't want to ask chromium or FF if I can please use whatever annoying API they changed yesterday. Is there a UNIX philosophy tool that just does (just) this? (pretend JS does not exist for the purposes of this question).

I found a requests-(something) that wrapped chromium, but my tagging system fails me at the moment, and it's irrelevant because I don't want to use that shape shifting beast.

WebKit on the other hand is a ray of light... except now it requires JS to manipulate/query the DOM :((?)
I vaped and got covid (march 2020). When I got sick I obviously didn't vape for a few days. Tried it once I felt a bit better and coughed immediately. Put it down and told myself I would wait until I was 100% better.

Still waiting unfortunately. Silver lining I guess is that I am off nicotine for a year.
I use wsl2 now with centos and I don't have any networking or memory allocation issues like the ones you describe.

> Ultimately, WSL2 is the attempt to take Linux VM and make it appear like it's not a VM. Maybe it'll get there one day, but due to the got-ya's it's not for me.

In my experience, its been pretty great and elegant to work with. I've used it for ~1.5 years so far and they seemed to have broken down a lot of those vm walls to make it seem like some kind of hybrid windows + linux operating system. Doing stuff like 'code .' from within wsl to open the current wsl working dir in the vscode windows gui is pretty neat. And you can also do kind of neat stuff like writing to your windows clipboard from within WSL by running the powershell windows executeable. This is in my wsl .bashrc to do that:

function cb () {
powershell.exe -command "\$input | set-clipboard"
}

echo "hello" | cb # write hello to my windows clipboard
It never reached general availability, but remote-build-execution was discontinued.

If the people who employ these folks make snarky comments about them, that's no more meaningful. If they choose to examine the actual evidence of the behavior at issue here, they might find it upsetting as i do... or hell i dunno there's many reasons they might not. I can't imagine what explanation there might be for this behavior but i'll allow there might be one even I could agree with...
There have been a few studies out of CO that I can't find at the moment. The gist is that it's less safe than being sober, but a bit more safe than driving drunk. Unfortunately, the real finding is that combining the two is a lot less safe than either on their own and that a lot of drivers are choosing to cross-fade.
Seeing as our social system itself is responsible for his injustice, whoever is part of that construct that led to him being wrongfully imprisoned is to blame, which is basically all of us on some level.

> Spending on land, healthcare, retirement savings, taxes and education eclipse the total spent for everything else.

buying land as an asset is not spending - it's investing.

Healthcare+education - i agree, it has become more expensive overtime.

Taxes - you earn more, hence pay more taxes. It's not due to inflation.

Retirement savings - ditto with land, it's an investment, not spending. And you choose how much to invest here, and the increase is not due to inflation (but expectation of inflation might affect your decision, but that's not a causal relationship to inflation).

It looks like the author may have found an exploit of the ERC721 contract, whereby anyone can mint a NFT as though it looked like another user. They supposedly wrote another contract to execute against a ERC721, costs over 1 ETH to call it.

WSL 1 was an ok attempt but yea, it had a lot of rough edges. From my experience WSL 2 is a bunch better and I definitely like it better than when I used cygwin (but that was 10 or so years ago).

They aren't stopping prosecution of patrons, just stopping prosecution of the sex workers themselves.
There's some difficulty parsing your reasoning.

Can you clearly define for me what sex work is and isn't?

Is exotic dancing? How about a scantily clad pop star? Live video pornhub "actress"? Movie star in a sex scene?

Cheerleader? Fashion model? Bikini model? Cabana boy? Shirtless ripped beach bartender? Bodybuilder?

Which is sex work, which isn't?

Are they all dehumanizing?

When sex, and the pursuit thereof, takes up more time in humans than any other known species (ref: Sex At Dawn) I think it would be more reasonable to claim that sex work is pretty much the most human profession a person can engage in.

Certainly, focusing on physical attributes and acts isn't everyone's preference, either for leisure or work - but claiming it is "bad and dehumanizing" is a stretch.
> I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone wearing scuba gear yet.

Oh man, we researched that early on in the Pandemic. I was part of a team with a local hospital that was looking for any and all solutions. The big issue was weight, followed by the time you could be tanked, and then the cleaning issue. The overall conclusion was that they weren't worth it and just sterilizing masks again was better.

One could argue that when a safe language eliminates memory safety bugs (intentional or unintentional), it makes it easier for the reviewer to check for logic errors. Because you don't have to worry about memory safety, you can focus completely on logic errors.

When we poll with what Medicare for All will do, support is massive.

Health care in the US is an increasingly brutal, over the top expensive mess.

Frankly, a quick look at why they want a public option is exactly why they would easily support Medicare for All.

Nobody loves their health care insurance company. And where they may be stoic to positive, it is only because they are insulated from the mess, or just have not actually had to receive significant care of any kind.

Tons of people, myself included, have seen serious financial ruin, and in my case it boiled down to basically trading my home and financial future for my spouse.

We got past it, but will never see the future I worked very hard for.

Health insurance companies do not actually add any value. Most of the developed world understands this, and how a market approach for primary care conflicts with fixing sick people.

Right now the priority is making money, not fixing people, and it shows.

More people experience it, or know someone who has every day. I make damn sure to educate others any time, any day, any place.

Once people actually experience Medicare, they love it. I have watched even the most staunch advocates for our current system age in and then change their tune.

There are exceptions, and those people buy Medicare Advantage plans and often seek help getting back to plain old Medicare, which is very difficult, by design. Ever wonder why that is?

That the nice thing about Japanese. It's pretty easy to guess the meaning of a word by only knowing the kanji. For example, the word 配信, meaning "stream" or "broadcast", is made up of the kanji that generally indicate "distribution" and "signal". Conversely, English doesn't have as much of that benefit for unknown words.

After enough time, I don't think picking up Japanese was "hard" per say, just very time-consuming. The thing with languages is that a lot of text written in modern times was not written with the intent of being difficult to understand; there are just a lot of words to choose from to get a specific point across, so you have to learn them all. Even texts that contain a lot of uncommonly used terminology boil down to learning the words you haven't ever encountered in 5 years of practice.

The main roadblock I encountered learning Japanese was not knowing the characters and common grammatical patterns to anchor yourself with that are second nature to people that know the language. With enough practice, there are plenty of times that I'm not even conscious of the effort it took to understand a different language when consuming foreign media. It's a weird feeling when you stop taking it for granted for a moment.
