> 1. write your own compiler that does it right (ETOOHARD now that clang didn't)

The problem here is that "right" is not quite that black-and-white. To a lot of users, "right" is "my code appears to work," optionally with "at a given performance level." A new compiler that's slower, or changes semantics compared to some baseline, won't necessarily be seen as "better" unless there's some clear benefit, and "doesn't perform optimizations that may result in security holes" wasn't necessarily a clear benefit at the time clang was trying to gain traction. "Better error messages" and "faster compiles", on the other hand, were, and those were some of the reasons Clang gained adoption despite (sometimes?) producing slower programs.

It's somewhat analogous to Microsoft's dedication to backwards compatibility. If a program did something technically illegal and a later version of Windows broke the program, users tend to blame Microsoft and/or Windows, not the program. Same thing here - if Clang didn't perform such aggressive optimization and was slower than GCC because of it, users will tend to think "Clang is slow", not "GCC is making nonsensical optimizations" or "My program invokes UB".

> look at the full situation and conclude that the best available option is to just throw in the towel and hire private security

Someone who is looking at the full situation would realize that hiring private security does not cause the homeless population to suddenly evaporate. An outsider might start to get the impression that the fundamental right of the upper-middle class is the right not to be reminded that people in poverty exist.

There's a pretty wide spectrum of how people interpret "defund x". US Republicans have agitated for "defund Planned Parenthood" for a while, and by "defund" they meant "don't give any tax dollars to it" [1]. In that context, it's not really surprising that a big chunk of the population "misunderstand[s]" the phrase. They may be inferring the wrong context, but the word has definitely been used that way.

>In my neighborhood in Seattle I've seen a tweaked-out individual literally just walking down the street spray-painting cars at around 6pm on a weekday.

Despite the damage to the cars, that sounds more like a mental health problem than a crime problem.

Which is one of the big problems we have with current policing models. We throw folks trained to use deadly force at issues that are better suited to mental health professionals trained in de-escalation.

I get it that many folks don't really care about their fellow humans except as threats/enemies/potential rivals for mates and resources.

And I also get that, as in your example, many folks don't care about the well-being of other people (as in your example, a 'tweaker'. How do you know that? Were they shooting meth as they spray-painted the cars?), especially if they engage in anti-social behaviors.

In fact, many folks would support it if we just killed/imprisoned anyone who makes them uncomfortable or unhappy.

The issues that we lump into a black box called "mental illness" are poorly understood and even more poorly addressed in our society.

Even worse, more often than not we dump the "mental illness" black box into a larger black box called "criminals".

As Hubert Humphrey put it[0]:

The moral test of government is how that
government treats those who are in the dawn of
life, the children; those who are in the twilight
of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows
of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.

I posit that our current policies and practices fail that moral test. Those who are most distressed/needy/lost are usually abused, shunned and thrown away by our society, rather than nurtured, helped and hopefully brought into society as productive members.

Why is it generally the former rather than the latter? I'd say that it was a culture of selfishness, greed and a lack of empathy buried under several layers of soft-soaping like "personal responsibility", "pulling oneself up by the bootstraps", "poverty is a moral failing" and a bunch of other tropes.

Sentient life is precious. We should treat it that way, IMNSHO. But we don't. And more's the pity.

Hmm, perhaps I was not clear. Given the choice between going over the top of handlebars versus the top of a vehicle or grill, I believe the difference between the handlebars and vehicle/grill is much larger than the difference between vehicle and grill.
Agreed on looks - I actually declined buying one because of that.

That said, I really wish they would have started there. I want an electric truck. I don't want one anywhere near as large as an F150. I understand F150s sell better so know why they went that route, but an electric Ranger/Colorado could really dominate the fleet market.

In response to 2:

One, we don't know the actual usable capacity of the pack, because Ford hasn't said. Forbes writer estimates 110-130kWh.

https://www.forbes.com/wheels/news/2022-ford-f-150-lightning...

Estimating home energy use per day really depends on how much heating/air conditioning you need, if your heater is gas powered or not. The fridge is like 1kWh per day. So... 100 days of just the fridge.

Mid-sized gas furnace will pull about 600W to run the forced air fan. So... 0.6 kWh per hour of runtime. You'd have to calculate the runtime given a temperature. If it is an electric furnace it'll blow through that battery quite fast.

Lights are now peanuts, because LED bulbs are about 8-10W. .12kWh per bulb per day for 12 hours of use.

Also, compare your home's electric bill for a kWh number to compare:
https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=97&t=3

Average of 877kWh per month. Of course this is averaged as you use more power depending on local weather and time of year due to heating/cooling needs. With that over-averaged value, 3.75 days to drain the battery. This is probably why Ford says about 3 days and then says "10 with conservation".

So I'd say if a family really conserved on heating/cooling, and attempted to be careful with cooking, that battery could quite easily go 10 days.
You might enable the showdead feature, you'll start to see a lot of dead posts.

In theory this happens because a lot of people flag posts. In theory.

You're saying this like the majority these people have a net-positive impact on tax revenue. It's quite the opposite.
Not even 10 per person? Sounds low, thought there were more.
I don't recommend that people do this without a high risk tolerance, but I've talked to dozens of immigration officers without proof of onward travel (I managed to fill all the regular stamp pages on my last passport). Probably half of them didn't even ask, and most of the rest of them immediately accepted that I was going to buy some ticket out in a week or two. Maybe I got lucky, but I think "American software developer" just doesn't look like a real high risk to them, and I probably don't present myself as a backpacker who might run out of money while I'm there. I have brought printouts of savings and retirement account balances and such, but I've never had to show them. I would have been willing to buy a ticket out on the spot if necessary as well.

Weirdly, it's the land crossing to Canada that has always been most difficult for me. Once, after getting pulled aside to chat with an officer for 15 minutes or so, he eventually said, "so what you're telling me is that you're rich enough that you're not coming here to work in the oil field?" "Yes, exactly."
Antiviral Research, showed that Ivermectin, which blocked other RNA viruses like Dengue virus, yellow fever virus, Zika virus, West Nile virus, influenza, the Avian flu, and HIV1/AIDS in vitro, decimated the coronavirus in vitro, wiping out “essentially all viral material by 48 hours.”
It has shown anti-viral properties in vitro and in-vivo, just like the FDA approved covid treatment Remdesivir.

It should just be like on Mac—you can go through the App Store, or you can download directly, but with a warning.

I think that would be killer argument for Epic—Apple already allows you to download apps onto their devices that don’t go through their store and everything is fine.

My understanding is that people have done the math, and using an SSD ends up being cheaper, even considering the fact that it'll wear out prematurely. (And, in the case of hosting services like Scaleway, the miner isn't concerned -- their hosting provider is the one burdened by this usage.)

Private security forces are accountable to their customers before their shareholders. If I don't like how my private security company is behaving, I can cancel my contract and switch to another company. When enough contracts are cancelled, then these hypothetical shareholders get involved.

If I could cancel the "contract" with my local law enforcement agencies, I would have done that a long, long time ago.
I agree that it's a fundamental problem and anticompetitive behavior but I don't think it's as clear of a court case as this Epic v Apple.

Users don't need to install the Amazon iOS app, instead they can use Safari where they can buy books and ebooks directly.

Games like the ones Epic makes, however, cannot run in Safari. They are forced to go through Apple store and play by Apple's rules.

The problem is that if it’s possible to trick grandpa into downloading a malicious app then it will happen. The only defense is to not make it possible.

You can argue if that’s a worthy goal or not but thats what Apple has to do if they want to make it impossible to trick people into downloading malware.
In other news, it seems like protocol simply shows nothing if I have ghostery turned on.
I mean I really haven't heard a good argument against it. Everyone is just complaining that 30% is too high, or it shouldn't apply to IAP for some reason. None of the questions the judged asked really get to the heart of the matter: why should the government get to tell Apple how to run their app store? What makes app stores different than the xbox marketplace or ebay? If the app store was more specific with the types of apps they allow (ex. no more IAP apps), would that make it better or worse?
Reduce reuse recycle is fundamentally against the business model of BigCorpos. Of course they will fight tooth and nail against legislation that impinges on their business model [1]. It goes to show how good Apple's PR department is that people view them as an eco-oriented company (hint: they're literally in the "producing consumer e-waste market"). But I mean people these days also think Microsoft are open-source friendly good guys, sooooo

[1] Besides enabling reduce and reuse, right to repair also goes directly the business interests of these companies, because 3rd party repair shops exist under RTR instead of 100 % of the repair revenue going to their franchises or them directly.

Imagine you just got hit by a car. You are lying on the ground. You see a stranger pull up their phone. Are they calling 911 for you? No, they are there to record you being hauled off in a stretcher on perhaps the worst day of your life to be the first to post it online. The Black Mirror writers must have invented this app.
The fact that cops are trained is precisely why they shoot people who try and charge them or others with knives. The correct first-line strategy for dealing with a knife attack is not allowing the attacker to close enough distance with you to use the knife, because once they do, regardless of how well trained you are how untrained they are there's still a high chance you'll end up seriously injured or dead. It's that imminent danger that justifies the use of deadly force. As I understand it, every self defence course worth its salt teaches this - even the ones focused on bare-handed fighting. Any tactics for dealing with attackers who do close that gap are just a high-risk last resort for situations where that fails.

Yes. Part of the hatred stems from economic exploitation that it facilitated by the nuclear family; care work is mostly done by women; this system is predicated on having male breadwinners on whom women are dependent and thus have no choice but to do this care work. The whole relation breaks down once people move away from these normalised societal structures and those who previously benefited feel as though they are now oppressed.

It’s slightly rude to suggest that I have issues with my mental health because I watch nature documentaries.

It does not make me miserable to think of these things, it’s just life. Life is struggle for the majority of living things with brief intermissions of contentedness- if you think otherwise you’re only kidding yourself (although it doesn’t harm anyone by living that delusion.)

David Attenborough pulls few punches when showing how brutal the food chain is. Keeping your kids safe means others starve. This goes for plants too, it’s surprisingly easy to empathise with tragedies that occur to other species, including flora and fauna.

`ed` was developed in 1969. That's a remarkably uncharitable take, considering `ed` itself and its derivatives (like `sed`) are still useful today.
Backfeeding houses with generators is indeed a killer feature... but not in the way you mean. It can be done safety, but when done incorrectly (if the house isn't removed from the grid first) it can kill linemen. It's a good thing most generators a homeowner might causally buy at the hardware store don't have this feature. Unfortunately I've seen male-to-male extension cords sold online for this purpose. I think these are actually illegal, at least in some places.

The best outcome for everybody is that the maximum % commission of these stores is regulated, perhaps to a maximum of 10-15%.

This weirded me the heck out when I switched from Android last year. I can't buy for my Kindle from the iOS Amazon app, but I can log into amazon.com, buy for the Kindle there, and then read in my Kindle app on iOS.

It suggests a way anyone can circumvent Apple's restrictions too. Introduce an app whose only job is to act as a content player but has no content of its own, then have customers go to your website to buy the content, and then download it to your app. Epic can sell one game that is empty and make every actual game DLC.
Except this is suboptimal, as is the code in the original post: it specifies ASCII, so (e & c1) is guaranteed to be zero. In your code, that means you could just do

Monospace is the more sensible option as an editing medium for symbolic content. It's in having "WYSIWYG" editors that do everything in one modeless widget that we start getting this particular kind of feature creep.

I really like Thom Holwerda's from OSnews take on the article. Especially the "glorified toaster makers" part.

https://www.osnews.com/story/133436/microsoft-and-apple-wage...

> What’s good enough for the car industry, is more than good enough for these glorified toaster makers. Cars are basically murder weapons we kind of screwed ourselves into being reliant on, but Apple and Microsoft make complicated toasters that you need to really screw up in order to hurt anyone with. Computer and device makers must be forced to make parts and schematics available to any independent repair shop, just like car makers have to do.

> So many perfectly capable devices end up in dangerous, toxic landfills in 3rd world countries simply because Apple, Microsoft, and other toaster makers want to increase their bottom line. It’s disgusting behaviour, especially with how sanctimonious they are about protecting the environment and hugging baby seals.

I come from a country where private security is very common. Used to be ubiquitous until people started getting beaten up because the employer said so.

So the police force just got funded enough to be bigger than all of the private companies. They are now the biggest private security service provider (yes, for profit company, separate from public police but run by the state, full of ex-police/military). It's quite ridiculous tbh.

If you're rich, you're untouchable, while poor people eat dirt in prison even if they're not guilty. Not that different from the US.

Incidentally, our military is full of used American equipment. Great value, maybe a bit too much for a country that wouldn't last a week in a war with any neighbour.
I was expecting to open the comments here and see talk about how the technical side of this would work - if Twitter is going to limit this to the app, enforce some kind of DRM in-browser, to keep these spaces private.

Sadly every single top-level comment is about the IAP fees, a tired and unproductive line of discussion.

If that's really a serious problem in your area, you and your neighbors can set up a neighborhood watch/surveillance cameras/etc. to address that without hiring private security to do it for you.

Where I grew up in England it was the polite version of "well you can just shove it up your arse". Maybe the meaning has moved on because "smoke" as meaning consider has been lost, or perhaps it was a local variation.
