Same here. It's particularly annoying when I thought through a problem (and perhaps slept on it too), figured I have it solved, started working on it, and then one day, halfway through the implementation work, I wake up realizing the design is broken.

I don't get that. Normal downtime is about the hardest way to fuck up email. I believe the last time my small office mail server didn't deliver legitimate mail was when I was 18 and haven't quite figured out yet what the hell was running on all these computers, and it literally ran a week with disk full.
Most likely, because if they refuse and it's infringing then it's them (WhatsApp) getting dragged to court for not following the court's orders. I suspect it'll end up similar to how most service providers handle DMCA takedowns: honor it without question. If it's invalid, the affected party can take it up with whoever submitted the request as far as WhatsApp is concerned.

UK is pay to play, for a reasonable amount (600GBP at LGW and ~1k at LHR IIRC) of money you can be the first to exit your plane and be taken through the private jet terminal without any queues. You wait in a nice lounge where a Border Force person takes you through the formalities while you sit in a comfy armchair.

> Assuming headphones and instrument/vocal mics that are within a few inches

It is relevant, and monitoring via headphones or a floor speaker is a mitigation.

It's also a problem for large orchestras. If everyone else just plays along with what they hear from the people near them, the timing is going to be inconsistent across the orchestra pit even if you have some obvious audible reference like loud percussion. The mitigation is to orient yourself as much as possible around the visual cues from a conductor.
Each package in /nix/store is in a directory $hash-$pkg-$vers (technically $vers isn't even required since the $hash can already distinguish them). Therefore each can have its own independent dependency tree. For a more detailed explanation see https://shopify.engineering/what-is-nix#:~:text=Language-,th....
Nope. Just because someone has a good car, doesn't mean he has the money. Actually, I would argue that most of the people don't have the money, i.e. they're driving better car then they can afford. And you're assuming that your landlord or hairdresser suddenly know which car you drive, but that is very long assumption.

In this case (UBI) literally everybody knows 100% that you have more money than before.

> The annotations look pretty complex. It’s a whole other type language grafted on to C, and at least to me, even with the explanation in the introduction, very difficult to get an intuition of.

I salute the idea of fixing C shortcomings instead of starting over from scratch (Rust, Zig), but clearly this mix of large functional annotations on top of procedural code adds some burden and inelegance.

The automated formal code proving will appeal security researchers, but I doubt most developers will want to go through that.

As a developer, I would rather use checked-C since it's only a thin overlay requiring little syntactic sugar on top of C99. https://github.com/microsoft/checkedc

However, unlike RefinedC, it requires a new compiler and headers...

That's effectively what happens. The problem with thee Russian border states is that the hope for strong external intervention isn't very high. But the closeness to russia is why the Annexation of Crimea ad the regime of Lukashenko and a few other dictators still exist.

To some extent you can target the elite and decisionmakers. But after a very short while, there is no easy way to separate "people" from the elite. Targeting businesses, exports and so on which is the next step - is always going to make the average citizen worse. But the argument works both ways: ensuring the wellbeing of the people helps the legitimacy and strength of the regime. I don't think anyone thinks it's a good idea to stop short of anything that makes the life of average belorussians worse.

> Are your feet better looking than average?

Ok, I understand what they mean but I have no opinion on that, just generally not finding feet attractive and I can honestly say I have never considered the question before. I consider it for a few moments and realize I have no values that would allow me to formulate an opinion on it. So then I fall back to, would an average foot lover find my feet more or less attractive than average? I still have no idea. So then I fall back to a meta strategy, ok if I am going to answer questions stating my opinion when I have no opinion, what should I do? Alternate answers? Always answer that I am better? Always answer that I am worse? I understand that they are interested in what the distribution is going to be after people answer the questions so someone hedging is not giving helpful information.

I decided that my strategy was to leave the website. I was curious if anyone else found being presented with a binary choice for an estimate at a continuous random variable off putting. I would have been much more willing to give a confidence interval around some abstract mean.
This really doesn’t add up. Who was performing these hard passport checks? An airline employee? Where was your flight originating from/going to?
Still not following how this is different from Mastodon. Some users run their own instance (= planet), which cannot be "banned" by ordinary Mastodon means; you can only refuse to peer with it. Some users have accounts on someone else's instance, which can be banned by the admin of the instance. If you start tooting, I dunno, reactionary pro-slavery nonsense that takes asymmetrically more effort to refute than to claim, there's pressure on the instance admin to ban you, and there's a means for unpeering the instance if they refuse o if you are the instance admin. Sure, this isn't protocol-wide, and you can find your own reactionary buddies and whine about how you'd be treated more fairly under monarchism if you want, but you're cut off from large parts of the network. What's different about the outcome under Urbit?

And if it is different, I don't know that a system that is carefully designed to solve the "problems" of someone who generally should be banned for good reason is what most of is want.
Stalebot (the popular one on GH) has exemptions which are configurable - branch, author, label, commenter, and probably more. AKA owner/maintainer can do as little as drop a label or even just a reply on an issue and it won't be pruned.
Right. I didn't want to elude in all of that.

It becomes quite complex, but any system, which tries to bring more than 400M oppionons together, while giving a voice to minorities and dealing with complicated issues is inherently complex.
Games have cheat codes and bugs/glitches. There are players that choose to take advantage of those and create an unfair contest. There is basically nothing a legitimate player can do to stop it. This is true in real life such as in the justice system, business, etc.

When playing a game, no matter how good you think you are, there is always someone better. Even if you are at the top now, someone will eventually replace you. So too in life.

With a virtual instrument you would usually not face the full round trip latency, but rather control latency (MIDI?) and audio output latency (usually 50% of roundtrip). So in the VSTi case that might be closer to 25ms than 40ms in practice. Often the latency jitter is quite dreadful in this case as the control signal is not synchronous to audio.

I notice that their metric for "did not damage… his health" is "He died at 87." What was his quality of life like? Did he suffer acutely from gout, or have other health problems that limited what he could do, and his enjoyment of life? There are better measures of health than longevity.
Because this is a state actor, you can't just send the police after them: they have fighter jets (and it was a fighter jet that grounded the plane). You have to ask whether you're willing to go to war, or impose collective punishment on the people of Belarus via something like sanctions. The EU has already taken diplomatic steps for previous offenses like barring Lukashenko personally from the EU, and the US has banned loans to the Belarussian government in the past as well — and those bans remain in place today.

There are probably more diplomatic levers to pull, but TBH none of the existing ones have seemed to do anything. States are okay at enforcing laws within their borders without massive death or total economic destruction, but don't seem to be very effective at enforcing much inside of someone else's borders barring those options.
That’s like saying the automobile was only ahead in terms of propulsion, the UI was pretty shitty and not much better than a horse.

In the UK bikes are required to be sold with a bell, but there is no requirement to have one when riding. So bikes are often sold with the cheapest bell the manufacturer can find, which the rider will remove when it inevitably breaks if not before.

Oddly, here in the Netherlands the reverse seems to be true- it is illegal to ride a bike without a bell on public roads, but bikes are often sold without them...

Yes, with proven vaccines against debiliating diseases.
I am sorry but this is a slightly frustrating conversation because we are losing the forests for the trees. In both cases, an aircraft was grounded based on a suspicion. In one case, the official reason was "technical reasons", in another it was due to "bomb threat". In both cases, the official reasons given were a ruse. That is the key focus here in both cases. The question of forcefully grounding an airplane for ulterior purposes with a different official reason. In one case, the scenario didn't achieve the end result because Snowden was not on the plane. In another case, it did play out because Protasevich was on the flight. Just because the results were different, doesn't mean both acts weren't egregious. In both cases, a country used their muscle to land a flight.
This very much echoes Dr. Edward Deming's thoughts on incentives and measurements. Deming emphasized unlocking peoples intrinsic desire to do a good job rather than fixating on extrinsic motivators such as bonuses and salaries. He also encouraged an environment of education and self improvement, and removing barriers to pride of workmanship.

The challenge today would appear to be our need or desire to chase higher salaries. It's not immediately clear to me what brought about this transformation in our prevalent motivation because I'm quite confident it's ubiquity is a recent phenomenon. Maybe it's consumerism and social competitiveness (envy) or maybe it's rampant inflation and subconscious existential dread on our ability to provide for ourselves and our families, or probably something else.
Peer reviewed is not the gold standard, it is the bare minimum for lay people to start paying attention.
just out of curiosity, are you worried that posts such as this one could land you in trouble at some point? or are you taking steps like using a VPN for this?
I find that analogy very bad. It would be more like you buy a Sodastream (that can make carborated water). When you want to refill it you have to go back to Walmart. You are not allowed to go to any other store, including Sodastream. Even if you order a refill gas bottle from Sodastream directly the payment will have to go through Walmart since you bought the machine there a long time ago. And they will add 30% to the price.
Don’t worry, they’ll abandon it in a year or two because not enough people use it.

>The UI was pretty shitty, and not much better than Hotmail.

UI performance was great due to early use of ajax. If you had bad connection, which was extremely common in 2000's, then it worked way better than any alternative.

Of course, now it's the other way around, static websites are fast and SPAs can be dogshit slow.
So many of these channels are nothing more than distraction from anxiety. Study web seems like a subset of the more general inspiration/self-help movement that sells the idea of change and progress instead of you doing the actual, often boring, work.

you might see substantial economic losses as migrants send income back home to support family.

Is that a real problem? Assume they get paid in local currency (e.g. US dollars).

Option one; they buy a foreign currency with those US dollars, and send that foreign currency overseas. The dollars stay in the US and get spent.

Option two, they send those US dollars overseas; those US dollars ultimately either come back to the US to be spent (in which case the fact that they circled around the world matters as much as if they sat in a wallet in Utah for a year), or they never come back and the US is ahead on the deal, given that the worker did some work but US society will never need to hand over goods/services in exchange.

I guess my hypothesis is that either those US dollars get spent in the US, or they don't. If they do, it's just like a non-migrant worker. If they don't, US society got work done and didn't have to give back goods/services - bargain for US society.
I have direct experience of that specific implementation and you are correct in that it was exceptionally mis-managed.

Even in its inception, it was stupid, some company sells to Melbourne and outsources the business logic to Switzerland and outsources the rest of the app to a UK firm.

Idk if you've ever worked on embedded but having to deal with an opaque third party component that is doing all the "business logic" and hogging resources (SqlCe makes this _really_ bad) really sucks on an embedded device that has been stripped down to its bare-bones to reduce the cost because the owners want to sell the business to some conglomerate ASAP. We couldn't even share resources with the opaque third party app so we couldn't use SqlCe ourselves because it blew the memory budget to have two connections open and we couldn't use Sqlite because of old visual basic architects that are stupid and are terrified of anything that isn't microsoft.

Also none of that matters because the architecture was so insane anyway and was never going to work because the devs didn't understand the limitations of the Compact Framework and used XmlDocument as a key part of the architecture. One transition from one screen to another would load (at a minimum) two very large Xml files and the Compact Framework and the hardware just wasn't good enough to do that all the time. The entire project was built around the hope that the hardware and framework could lift a lot more than it could in practice.

As an aside, I was brought in to help fix some of the debris and work on the next project (which they were going to do before the Melbourne money showed up). This was after they finally removed the "must have a degree" requirement which had bounced me the years previous.
Having a degree or not wasn't the problem, the problem was the devs they employed didn't have enough embedded experience and they (like most people at the time) drastically underestimated the complexity of embedded as well as overestimated how effective the compact framework was (it kinda sucked ass tbh).

Thankfully most of this doesn't matter anymore because the company I'm talking about got sold to some big firm who lost the market to an up and comer some decade later.
> real-time executive loop or handling I/O

I did some audio implementations on MCUs of all kind, and if I managed to pull out multitracked real-time mixed audio players under 4ms latency, I learn that the real problem here is RAM (other than computing power).

Many audio effects requires lot of RAM. Think of how would you do a 5 seconds delay effect, or good quality pitch shifting (FT and inverse FT), reverb, echo, etc. Before you know it, 128KB of RAM is not enough any more. So now you are dreaming about 128MB of RAM (as minimum).

If you want to process or output audio from/to network, USB or save the output into a file then you have to add that overhead to the equation.

Before you notice it, you'll start looking at small processor like the i.MX28 or the like. Bare-metal BSPs for those processors are quite expensive in terms of code/time. You get what the manufacturer gives to you, and that is, a BSP for Linux.
Old people get free bus travel in the UK (availability outside your local area varies but is usually fairly complete), there's the occasional story of someone travelling the length and breadth of the country for free

I don't recall any reports of a paying passenger being unable to board a bus because of it though, so if the bus is going to run anyway, simply tax wealthy pensioners a little more and use that to subdise any loss in revenue

(of course the government would never put a tax on wealthy pensioners, that's what working people are for!)
Four myths about building a software business
Yeah there are a lot of very obscure legal rules that most people aren't aware of or haven't been enforced in many years.

Not from as far back but my house was built in the early 1980's and my house deeds include the stipulation that I must maintain a garage attached to the property (so I can't convert it to extra living space) because the local government retain the right to convert the space into a decontamination shelter in the event of chemical, biological or nuclear attack. Had a good chuckle with my lawyer regarding it, don't think I'll be too concerned about where to keep my lawn mower if the city has been nuked.
> But how often do Lukashenko and his circle actually fly out of Belarus anyway

If you are a Belorusian elite with kids in US and UK schools, money in Switzerland etc, living comfortably so long as Lukashenko is president. Then suddenly your assets are frozen, and your children can't travel to London when their next semester in the very expensive school starts. All because Lukashenko had to discipline some kid. You aren't going to be happy about that little stunt, and Lukashenko will be told.
