> Interestingly ECHR doesn't bother to define what a right is or where they come from, leaving the implicit position being simple legal realism that the rights exist because this document says they do and the parties agreed to it.

That’s a strange take. It is basically a rewriting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948. It even says so right there in the preamble. And it’s a law, part of an international treaty, not a history book. So where the origins of these rights are is beside the point and a legal description is not really surprising.
It's really not. These bells aren't that loud, you really only hear them once the cyclist is maybe 50 yards away. It's an incredibly important safety feature on low-visibility singletracks.
It's not that bad at all, and stops when you are not moving. I'd say it has maybe a 20m range so it's not like people can hear you from the other side of the mountain.

I do agree it adds noise to (potentially) tranquil trails but imho its a good safety trade-off. Way better than people who insist on blasting music from their phone speakers or conference call while walking.

> To me it's not about performance. A little bit of time spent now appeasing the borrow checker will pay off ten fold later when you don't have to deal with exploding memory usage and GC stalls in production.

I'm confused by the "it's not about performance. [reasons why it is, in fact, about performance]" phrasing, but in general a lot of applications aren't bottlenecked by memory and a GC works just fine. Even when that's not entirely the case, they often only have one or two critical paths that are bottlenecked on memory, and those paths can be optimized to reduce allocations.

> GC is great for quick hack jobs, scripts, or niches like machine learning, but I believe at this point it's a failed experiment for anything else.

That sounds kind of crazy considering how much of the world runs on GC (certainly much more than the other way around). I feel the need to reiterate that I'm not a GC purist by any means--I've done a fair amount of C and C++ including some embedded real time. But the idea that GC is a failed experiment is utterly unsupported.
Competitors aren't much better. I beta tested Google's assassin creed on a gigabit connection. It still dropped me down to 144p during lag spikes like a youtube video.

> It's not a trivial problem.

It seems pretty trivial. You just follow existing international standards and use the transliterated version of the name found on the passports MRZ if accepting unicode strings isn't easy for your particular use case.
Those comparisons seem relevant. You may make an argument that the article would be better without them, but they were used explicitly - not as random filler to create political noise. I.e. not "for no reason".

The analogy breaks as Pascal knowledge is not confined to one geographical area or ethnicity. The same for languages inspired by Pascal syntax, with are tons.

No matter how you slice it or dice it, Pascal and Pascal-like syntax are not some obscure niche languages...

Guys, I didn't mean the music itself was terrible, I meant the fact that music was included to be auto-on to start in web content produced post-2002...

I would have personally put the audio as off by default, with the little icon to set it to on. :)

I am fully aware what the DOOM soundtrack sounds like an my complaint is that there is audio at all - especially on by default - and that it reminds me of those awful websites from the 90's that did this.
I use R regularly. I love it. Doing the maths is very easy and general. The programming makes me think differently. I like how it's high level, reasonably fast, rarely involves loops or inline functions directly, and, above all, is the Swiss army chainsaw of statistical analysis. The fact that the journal of statistical software exists is a good thing!
Yeah we should be able to have cheap lead paint and asbestos and get rid of fire codes. Kids these days have too many IQ points.

No regulation is not a viable solution unless we want a return to pea soup smog in LA and other areas, rivers that go on fire, and more lead poisoned children.

Getting the balance of regulations is hard but it would be a lot easier if companies didn’t have to be forced to do it. But it’s unrealistic to think it’s viable for them to behave responsibly due to adverse selection.

But in any serious discussion, one has to fully embrace the fact that regulations are good and necessary. If the debating parties don’t admit that then it’s not sincere. Equally it must be admitted that regulations and a burden and should be the minimal necessary to stop unacceptable abuse.
Font design is all about the subtleties. I'm pretty sure most discrete classes of fonts look the same, distinguished by how they handle specific characters, and style and position the letters.
I will admit that I wont have a good reason to hate it but here I am. Maybe its the juxtaposition of the `)` with `:`. Most other examples end with just the former, `)`. The moment you add the colon, something just does not feel quite right.

So it seems some others are seeing it this way too - Krystal and Saagar: New Evidence Emerges For Lab Leak Hypothesis As Fauci Does Total 180 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZniDsuCX5g

And if you consider this is part of the cost for the walls against Trump to 'save democracy'( https://time.com/5936036/secret-2020-election-campaign/ ) - some think it's a small price to pay I guess.

I never understood how media just couldn't come out and say "odds of lab creation are 1 in 500 billion, so it's more likely trump is wrong - instead it was all a solid - debunked - wrong, racist, not a chance, yada yada."

Seeing the time piece I guess it makes more sense. I wonder how many memes copy pasta to how many people to influence with this not-half-truth.
I bought a used 2018 Pro fully specced out because it was smashed up and a bargain. Replaced the screen for minimal cost and it's now good as new. Folio, Pencil 2, the works.

Even the A12X (which benchmarks nowhere close to the M1) is overkill by a very long way. Especially now, given that it gathers dust most of the time.

Multi-user would at least a little more useful.

Honestly I'm going with Occam's Razor. I think the M1 iPad Pro exists for the same reason as the 2021 Apple TV. They had the chips.
This is pretty cool and useful! I had been doing bootleg parser combinators in JavaScript up until now. This works, although being someone who doesn't write Haskell I assume that the magic that makes parser combinators efficient is not easy to implement in most languages. (I've been using nom with Rust on the side too and it seems to do the same naive stuff that I do.)

If you ever want to parse binary data using JavaScript, I will always recommend the excellent Kaitai Struct project.

And absolutely none of these platforms will start working on 4-year old Samsung hardware because of an unlocked bootloader. In fact, the bootloaders can be unlocked right now on most Exynos devices, so why can't I run Jolla on a Samsung device?
Not sure why you're being downvoted, that's a valid line of thinking that's led to such projects as the Barrelfish kernel.

http://www.barrelfish.org

The GPU side of things might not help you on current hardware because there's still some serial hardware queues, but the general concept of 'don't run kernels on multiple cores to guarantee a lack of software serialization points' is a valid and active area of research.
Not a mountain biker but: I (and many people I know) ride road bikes older than we are. I've got a Norco from the early 80s, friends ride similar age or older Peugeot and Raleigh. Chromoly that is pretty light and feels great and can take a beating.

Newer isn't always better - especially for those who are time-rich but money-poor. Old bikes can be maintained with a minimum of parts - grease, new bearings, brake pads, tired/tubes and one new chain are all the parts I've had to replace on my 38 year old bike in the last fifteen years. Touched up scratches with almost-matching nail polish. And I've learned everything about how a bike works along the way.
> to take the heat off the City of London being a tax haven

What exactly makes the City of London a tax haven? If anything, it is not a tax haven itself but a facilitator to set up structures in some Crown Dependencies.

But that makes it a financial and corporate service capital, not a tax haven (i.e., "a country or independent area where taxes are levied at a low rate")
Easily the worst captcha there is, it makes you do the captcha 10 times (it says 10 to go after you do the first one) and if you get one wrong it doesn't tell you until the end after you've done them all, in which case you have to repeat it.
I can personally relate. Reading something simple, like fiction or an autobiography, is how I fall asleep at night. I let someone else (the author) do some thinking for me, so I can rest!
You’ve just answered your own question. A huge catalog of classics as well as franchises that can be developed into new shows and movies.

The Bond franchise alone probably is worth half of what this deal is gonna cost.
I've been using Replit to make demos for some lunch & learn events at work. It's easier when we don't all have the same development stack, various combinations of languages + IDEs + OSes. I've done most of the demonstrations with Java. However, there were some demos in other languages I was wanting to do that weren't feasible within Replit that now will be (at least theoretically). I'm looking forward to trying this out later this week.
What this highlights is that CAPTCHAs/Security can be fun and not a never ending drag. Yes, this one is easy to break, even the author says so, but it's a fun concept. I hope this spurs a bunch of new thinking on what security can be. Miguel, GREAT JOB!
Of course he senses that, he thinks differently and he wrote his thoughts down. How dare he.
What if there are multiple standards? (Hint: there are.)

What if the passport has the same issue as US immigration and doesn't actually fit the name?

What about LGBT users whose passports may or may not reflect their names, depending on varying government policy?

What about people who have never had a passport? (Common in the US, as well as displaced/vulnerable persons worldwide)

These are not hypothetical edge cases, these are millions of real people. My own name doesn't fit in a lot of older forms and gets incorrectly parsed a surprising amount.

Just because you agree with them doesn't make them relevant.
It's clearly political, but claiming it's "politicized" requires evidence.

And it's not political for "no apparent reason". The reason is cyclists dying just for trying to go from place to place. The common default notion that cars are privileged and cyclists are assumed to be the problem is deeply political, so talking about it will also be political.

For example, take the case of Amelie Le Moullac: https://www.kqed.org/news/10402248/verdict-in-wrongful-death...

In SF, one of the most bike-friendly cities in the US, she was killed by a negligent driver. The police just swept it under the rug because they assumed cyclists are at fault. Eventually, thanks to some detective work by a local non-profit, the truth was uncovered. The police chief ended up having to apologize.

As an SF resident who's done a lot of cycling in the city and has followed the issue for years, I promised that this was politicized a long time ago, and it wasn't the cyclists who started it.
To be fair, this was in 2016 :)
Pretty simple with public companies. With private companies and current market it really does get messy. I'm thinking about Valve and how much higher it would be priced on public market compared to private... And that can't be only case. So the private market is quite dark place...
To get to the point of being able to cruise around everywhere comfortably is a lot easier on a skateboard than learning how to bike imo. You don't have to keep up momentum, you just have to watch out for the occasional big crack in the sidewalk. You don't have to learn how to brake that well, either, if you aren't bombing hills. I kinda just start pushing slower with my foot and that brakes me fine enough, rather than do the shoe destroying sliding foot brake.

Tricks are another animal, but just cruising around can be learned in an afternoon in a parking lot. I picked it up as an adult. I mean there are bulldogs who can skate if you need motivation.
Just one drag?

More like unzip, double-click, drag, close, open a Finder window if you're on the desktop, find the mounted volume, click to eject, close window, select DMG and/or ZIP, delete.

I think it's having to locate the mounted volume and eject it in order to delete the DMG that is the dumbest part. How a regular user is supposed to even figure that out is a mystery to me. And, I mean, they don't:

>The reason it can be done in China is because those shops illegally obtain the parts (whether counterfeit or stolen, since Apple won't intentionally sell them to anyone) and resources (schematics, software, etc) to be able to do so.

Or they use parts from doner phones/devices.
But romanizing doesn't solve any of those problems (except maybe having to copy/paste, but with uncommon/foreign names you'll have to re-look at it thrice either way). You're still gonna wonder if 'Sung' is the first, second or third name, because your mistake was assuming that it works like this in the first place.
In a situation like that, the place if effectice management and/or the central management and control would probably be how the tax residency is decided.

Machine learning is ripe with similar examples (tensorflow in primis).
It a huge difference... You're suggesting there is a conspiracy a foot. When in practice it's quite likely France, Spain, etc. just denied access because then the diplomatic hot potato wouldn't be theirs :)

And I'm hindsight Austria probably regrets they didn't deny access too, because then the potato wouldn't have landed on their soil.

It's not very bold to say: "pass don't involve me", but it's not necessarily a conspiracy to intercept a plane. That would have to involve a lot of people, and would probably leak..
> A key part of the SQL data model is the primary key. I'd really love to see a programming language make PKs or something like them a first-class construct.

This certainly seems like an excellent place to start. Every single one of my domain types starts like:

public class MySpecialType
{
public Guid Id { get; set; } = Guid.NewGuid();
//...
}

Having some notion of a first class identity that I could leverage without having to explicitly add a public Id property would be worth looking at.

But, what about the relational aspect? Identity is trivial to solve IMO. How do we canonicalize this idea of relations between types? The way I do this today is:

public class MyRelatedType
{
public Guid Id { get; set; } = Guid.NewGuid();
public Guid? MySpecialTypeId { get; set; }
//...
}

And then I just tie it all together with LINQ statements as appropriate.

Is there a better way to express this idea with some shiny new language constructs? I feel like I am running out of physical lines of code to golf with here.

The only thing I can think of that is more concise than my above code examples would be SQL.
My email address ends with the .cc TLD, and the number of websites which say "Did you mean to type .ca?" and then refuse to let me continue without changing it drives me similarly batty.
You bought a bike that's meant to go through gnarly technical terrain and do it as fast as possible. Bar-ends are a hazard. If you're actually planning on mountain biking with it you'll get laughed at because no serious biker uses them. I realize what other people think about you isn't that important but seriously they provide zero benefit for actual mountain biking.

I would recommend you just get a commuter or road bike for paths and roads. It'll faster and more enjoyable than riding something that was built explicitly for off-road use. The weight difference alone makes it worth it.
> After 9-11 the chance that the interceptors are armed is probably 100%.

Why wouldn't they be? What else can they even do? Especially in the case that the radio is inoperable. Other than seeing what's happening, and reporting back.
yes although technically my proof also proves that X != 1*X, so it's more broadly applicable
The address "company@example.com" doesn't point to a subdomain, though, the only reference to the company is the local part of the address, and so has nothing to do with DNS.

If he said he used "joe@company.example.com", then it's possible he has a wildcard MX record for *.example.com, but that's not at all what he said, although perhaps it's what he meant.

Regardless, the question remains unanswered.
He's being held to a bandwidth constraint that he has no visibility into. The dashboard only shows about 2% of bandwidth being used. He has no way to a) verify if Vimeo is accurate, nor b) visibility into the other 98% of plays.

Would you pay someone if they came to you and said "Pay me $8k, you're using 53x more traffic than you think. No, you can't verify that." Or would you tell them to go kick rocks?
It's not true that there is no treatment for the symptoms of viral infections. IV fluids, codeine, and ibuprofen will make you feel much better, even if it doesn't improve the underlying infection.

Those are exactly the things a Chinese hospital will administer.

If you were presenting to a hospital with Covid beyond what you might feel for a flu, you would be reporting difficulty breathing or loss of smell and taste.

However, they had symptoms consistent with seasonal illness.

So it's pretty obvious that the typical Chinese reaction is the best fit.
I doubt if there's little doubt if you go with the lab theory that this virus wasn't genetically modified to be more virulent to humans (or possibly some species similar to humans). I think the big one is whether it was a lab accident, which seems like the most likely scenario barring jumping species naturally which still seems to be the most likely scenario.
Did it really, or is that the "parallel construction" cover story?
Unless you are bombing hills, from just cruising around the worst you will do is sprain your wrist catching yourself awkwardly falling, or skimming some skin off against the pavement. I've never had a head injury because the instinct is to catch yourself with your arms. Seems bad, but I think you get beat up a lot worse falling while learning to bike.
I do wonder, it seems like a lot of his most important experiments and hybridization attempts were quite low tech compared to what I would have expected.

I wonder if it would be fairly accessible to making ones own hybrids in a backyard garden type scenario?

WhatsApp has 2B users vs. 1.6B for Apple. Of the 1.6B for Apple there is a group that would not use iMessage, but any other 3rd party application, like Whatsapp.

The fact that you are left of a chat does not make Apple a monopoly. The people in your group could choose to all switch to the same application, of which most of are closed source. I spent a ton of time in APAC and while each country has different most popular chat apps, the group of us that have spent years working together on and off at different companies all agreed on a common chat app. It's just not hard.

I have a few long term friend groups where a member has an Android and the text is green. No issues sending them text at all. The MMS stuff can be broken but that is not Apples fault.

Your argument is Apple once again the same as everyones else, and appeal to everyone be open because it is your philosophical view of things and it would make your life simpler.

Apple is a for profit company. They are not a monopoly on chat because they choose to offer their users a better experience over the standard SMS (which they supported).

I am frustrated with all the people that miss that distinction. They are a private entity and can do what they way within the outline of the law. You can vote with your pocketbook, or run for office and get the laws changed.

Also, the OSS vs non-OSS comment: you cannot take for granted that everyone here comes down on the side of the GPL 100%. There are a ton of us that work/worked at companies that did priority software because that is what made sense for the business model. We do not write software for free - ie, there has to be a method to pay our bills. I personally have major issues with GPL3 when it comes to creating works for a profit company. No major ones with GPL2, Apache, MIT, etc.
I'm not sure I fully understand the workflow here. I use three large 4k monitors with macOS, and it's straightforward for the most part. Then again, I basically never use the menu bar, since keyboard shortcuts are so consistent across apps. I just keep the dock on the primary display.

The only occasional pain point I encounter is when apps like Zoom automatically switch to "full screen mode".

There's also the option in Mission Control for "When switching to an application, switch to a Space with open windows for the application". If that feature is turned off, then you could, for example, have Chrome on _every_ desktop. Then it's just a matter of Cmd+tab to Chrome, and Cmd+n to open a new window on whichever display/desktop has the current focus.

For window management, I've found BetterSnapTool to be essential. It provides the typical window snapping from Windows. Better yet, you can setup keyboard shortcuts to quickly snap a window to the left side, right side, maximize, or move it to the next monitor. The shortcuts I use mimic Vim bindings, so it's easy to remember [1].

With caps locks remapped to Control in the Keyboard preferences, moving and re-sizing "windows" across multiple displays is fast & easy.

But I'm probably missing something with your particular use-case.

My parents have adopted romanized names. My last name is 洪 which in Pinyin is “Hong,” but in Taiwan, they’ve been using a mix of romanization schemes. In America, my name has been romanized to “Hung.” And I’m fine with that. And I don’t expect anyone to know how to write 洪.

If Google forced you to buy an Android if you wanted to use Google Docs with whatever group of people you need to work with you'd probably be upset too.
I haven't. I gave them my legal name and an ASCII approximation of it (which just changes an "í" to an "i"), and I'll let them decide whether what to use. I doubt it will ever matter anyway.
