It's just blindingly obvious to me that some services absolutely have to come under some kind of longer term (and therefore state) control, and preferably away from the whims of political change.

You absolutely can't build infrastructure, education, health in 4-year cycles. These are 10,20,50+ year projects. Personally I'd have these under control of something cross party, totally away from electioneering.

Automation often does not reduce the requirement for labor, it only shifts the work and cost somewhere else.
What they fail to mention is that those two aspects were broken up initially by the government after privatisation in the first place because the accountability and running of both aspects simultaneously was so bad.

Is does scale in this situation: simply increase the retirement ages properly such that always at least roughly "inflow of money = outflow of money" holds. The problem rather is that there is no political will to do that.

Investing for retirement for me is a hedge against being old, infirm and still having to work just to survive and live with stress and anxiety.

You should do the math on how much you'll likely actually have in retirement, and see how you feel about it, before it's too late to change your strategy.

I put almost 20% of my net salary in to my pension, and my employer another 8%, and it's still unlikely that I'll be able to retire particularly early or will live a particularly comfortable life in retirement. For one thing, if I'm still renting when I retire I'll likely be barely scraping by.

Doing the math can be a shock.
Yes, if that would be done on purpose, this would be very illegal. But I have a hard time believing Musk goes all-in into Bitcoin with 1.5$bn investment, just to suddenly realize 3 weeks later that the environmental impact due to high energy consumption is a bad thing and backs out of it again.
This one,albeit sounding funny,is a pretty serious issue: leaves get crushed under the weight of a train and eventually form a teflon like film on the tracks, which makes it very slippery. Not an expert in this area,so no idea how it's dealt with in various countries.

The flexible season tickets are welcome. However, missing from this news report is any mention of making the cost of rail travel more affordable for the public.

The report quotes the former boss of British Airways about "greater flexibility in the way that fares are operated in the future"

What does this mean? Can we expect less expensive tickets?

The UK already has some of the most expensive rail tickets in Europe. Yes, you can book in advance for cheaper tickets, but often there is limited availability, and you have to book at least a month or longer in advance. In short, the conditions which make cheaper tickets available are simply impractical for most passengers, especially regular commuters.

Here is a monthly season ticket comparison from 2017: UK vs Continental Europe:

- UK: Luton to London St. Pancras (35 miles) | Monthly season ticket cost: £387 (approx $547/€448)

- UK: Liverpool Lime Street to Manchester Piccadilly (32 miles) | Monthly season ticket cost: £292 (approx $412 /€344)

- Germany: Dusseldorf to Cologne (28 miles) | Monthly season ticket cost: £85 (approx $120 /€98)

- France: Mantes-la-Jolie to Paris (34 miles) | Monthly season ticket cost: £61 (approx $86 /€71)

- Italy: Anzione to Rome (31 miles) | Monthly season ticket cost: £61 (approx $86 /€71)

- Spain: Aranjuez to Madrid (31 miles) | Monthly season ticket cost: £75 (approx $106 /€87)

It’s rigid, because it implements a security architecture (capability-based security) instead of providing a mechanism to implement random restrictions.
Its certainly possible to convert COM to RES but its not likely to happen at significant capacity unless the WFH trend really destroys commercial real estate.

Some obstacles are the basic requirements of housing (kitchen, bathroom, windows) don't really match office space. You need lots of water/waste/electric/hvac pipes distributed across a space for residential, not the same for commercial where they can be more centralized in the floor. The space distribution is also not the same - eg. "deep" buildings are worse for residential because the ideal window frontage to room depth ratios don't match - you can have a desk or communal space very far from the window in commercial real estate and its usable, but you can't really put residential rooms far from a window because no one wants a windowless room and laws usually prevent it.

Additionally, I've seen office windows that don't open but you usually need (by law) to allow opening windows for residential use (for ventilation purposes I think). This can be a VERY expensive fix. Most people also want windows that open too.

On the other hand, the way these are often overcome is with huge "loft-style" apartments - very high ceiling and large spaces. The bigger window height helps with the depth issues. The big spaces are then catered to rich people, who fund the massive Reno bills. (note: historically, lofts existed because artists could bypass zoning laws to live in warehouses they used as a studio, then it became trendy)

Maybe I should actually do the math; I guess I just assumed that with the full matching contributions on what should be decent 401k's, I should already be getting set up for that "basic comfort, not having to worry about working to survive" baseline. Not that I'm burning the rest of the money I make.

My basic view is that I don't want to be rich when I'm old so that I can make "dream purchases" or live on a cruise ship for the rest of my days or whatever; I want to be living comfortably and fully for my whole life.

The last time I had to travel from London to Bristol and back, I rented a car from Heathrow airport and it cost me a quarter of the price the train would. It takes the same amount of time, but the car is more comfortable and worse for the environment. The system is so broken in the UK.

Saving/Investing has become harder as time goes on. I heard about how my grand parents' parents could put their money in the bank or something and compound interest would take care of things. Now with 0% interest everywhere, people rush to gamble in stocks or real-estate. As time goes on, it becomes harder to even hold the values of what you have.

F-Row on those layouts us mapped onto a layer at the number-row. It's good for blind-typing from homerow, but pretty poor for casual typing. I'm not always on homerow, in those moments typing an F-key is cumbersome with layers. It's also missing out on a full row of keys I could use for more exotic mappings, forcing me to use more complicated layers.

One can argue endlessly about necessity of knowing theory, but instead I would describe a funny situation I have seen once.

There was a piece of code that had to receive some items asynchronously one by one while they were being downloaded. Also, duplicates had to be found by some key and merged together. So, first a dumb and straightforward implementation was done using a vector and linear search. After some time management decided to stress test it with some extreme amount of items. And instead of fraction of second or seconds it was taking minutes which was unacceptable. A colleague of mine was assigned the task to fix this. What has he done, what do you think? He spawned another thread for search of duplicates. On a single core hardware. It didn't help. So he asked our team leader for help. What did he do? He increased a share of CPU time for that thread (it was a RTOS). That also didn't help. I was watching at all this with interest and suspicion and remembered at some moment that there is an algorithm for binary search which is much faster than linear search. So I removed all the code for additional thread and instead made vector to be always sorted and applied binary search. Download time changed from minutes to 10 seconds.

This way I learned about importance of algorithms (which for some strange reason haven't been taught in my university). But my colleague didn't learn anything, because he still thinks that theory of algorithms is for that kind of people that take part in programming contests and not for real programmers who "get sh*t done."

Let's face it: even programming is full of people with attitude of anti-intellectualism. Although this whole industry wouldn't be born with such attitude.
Pairing nfts with reality makes sense if ownership can be enforced by sole fact of having an ownership, ie:

1. for things that live in digital world (easy), or

2. weaker but probably acceptable in some cases - if physical good would be painted/printed on/made out of material containing ie. fingerprinted nanoparticles that match nft or has some unique chip that cannot be detached/duplicated – is as difficult to forge and as easy to verify as paper money

3. all ownership transfers would be verified by centralised (or whatever) system ie. government official confirming that digital and physical transfer happened correctly or ie. amazon/ebay would hold temporary custody of both digital/physical as intermediary in ownership transfer

…otherwise pairing with reality looks like “lets have this cryptographically secure thing and pretend that it means X” – if this “pretend” part can be removed or minimised to be close to zero, then it starts making more sense, without it it’s just nothing more than cargo cult like “let’s pretend” arrangement.
Flipboard is the most popular RSS app with 80 million users.

Everything else has about or below a million of users.

80 millions is a lot, yes? We have 4660 million web users.

Twitter has 200 million users. TikTok has 700 million users. Instagram has 1000 million users. WhatsApp has 2000 million users. Facebook has 2701 million of users. Youtube 2740 million users.

All of those one-off platforms dwarf the supposedly ubiquitous RSS format, and all those one-off platforms have one-off apps with their own push notifications for content.

RSS is today a small niche. It's on a path to becoming like IRC, where a small core of people swear it's the most important thing ever, but actually they didn't get the memo that most everyone has moved on.

Your p2p Google Docs example is complicated. What if server applications as a paradigm won because it’s a much simpler approach? Centrally develop and release updates, keeping users all on one system. It’s especially important for network connected apps which want to handle user collaboration. You want everyone on one system, without competing versions.

Not saying it’s best for users, but just smarter and more practical from dev perspective.

Medical certificates for sport events are very French... But the point is that they don't provide any medical data, they just state that the person is fine (in very general terms) performing that activity. For instance if you plan to go diving your GP will ask you a few questions and examine you then in effect write down "Sure, no problem".

Here you have a piece of information that very specifically says that persons is negative to Covid or vaccinated. Perhaps its does not say which one it is but my understanding is these are both medical piece of data anyway.

That's why I think this is very different. It's like if the only criterion for diving was being HIV negative. If a driving instructor was provided with a medical certificate that said "Sure, no problem" in that case it would be the same as getting the HIV test status of that person.

In that respect, the advantage of scanning the QR code is that there is no need to store sensitive data anywhere but within the QR code itself, which remains under the control of the individual. I think this is actually one consideration for deciding to implement the system that way.
The first one is a curly braces initializer.

The second one is a lambda function / closure over my_job.
It's called uniform initialization syntax (aka "brace initialization" aka list-initialization [1]). tl;dr is everyone loves it due to the terseness, but I recommend against it. It's kind of like a forced cast/coercion in some ways (and it also looks ugly). Also be careful with parentheses since C++20; if they invoke implicit (aggregate?) constructors that would've traditionally needed {}, I think you can also run into similar casting issues. I just ran into this one a couple days ago; I haven't narrowed it down yet, but it seemed to be due to this.

The second one is a lambda (which, if you're not familiar with the term, are anonymous functions/functors); the entries in the initial brackets define the captured variables (if any), and whether they're captured by reference (with ampersand) or by value (without).

Pcap captures are not multithreaded so you are pinning to a single core.

This entire thread is interesting because it is highlighting a similar problem with my virtualized router. When I pinned the router vm to specific cpus the problem goes away. I switched to openstack which doesn’t give me the best control over cpu capabilities and the problem has manifested in a worse form.

Valorant’s anti-cheat is considered to be good, but hacks are available. it’s also incredibly invasive - running in the kernel, meaning it must be enabled at boot time - something i don’t think is either necessary or desirable.

as for MFA - Trust takes this into account in determining its score.

to stay on topic here, i think what i was originally trying to say was, yes, having humans in the mix for self-moderation is a good idea in principle. in practise, it’s easy to manipulate because it’s very hard, potentially even impossible, to determine if you actually have a human using the machine. well, except in china, i suppose. but i don’t think we want to live in that world :)

Some platforms (but not Linux) let you define FD_SETSIZE before including C headers to override the default. The fd_set structure will be made correspondingly larger. On these platforms it should work fine, though there may still be an undocumented kernel limit.

Some really old platforms with select() don't even define fd_set or FD_SETSIZE, and you're on your own :-)

Linux added the poll() syscall in 2.1.23, and Linux select() had a kernel-side limit of 256 fds up to 2.1.26, when it raised the kernel-side limit to 5120/10752 depending on architecture. It was 2.5 years until the kernel-side limit was removed, by which point everyone would have had poll() in Glibc.

So if you are going to the effort of writing portable select() except using the trick of defining your own, larger arrays, and using poll() when it's available, on Linux don't bother. You'll hit a kernel limit anyway on those very old systems which don't have poll().
