I think you'll find quite a few legal systems currently disagree with that perspective. I'll give you that it's often the traditional perspective, but the children's wellbeing is increasingly the leading priority of related legislation in developed countries, including on issues like forced movement.

I don’t understand how any of this stuff is even ok.

If any random person had done this, the police would be after them to arrest them for kidnapping, but because it’s a nation state doing this the only thing that happens is closed airspace?

Only in terms of storage and 'hive mind' spam detection. The UI was pretty shitty, and not much better than Hotmail.
I'd love a browser like that and we used to have something like that.

If you wanted a specific feature, you'd install an extension / plugin.

Software has been going that way since forever, just think back to Nero Burning Rom. Which went from a very capable, heavily specialized application to burn all kinds of CDs with to a collection of mediocre tools to do everything but burn CDs with.
In consumer audio, you produce the sound and you're done. In devices used for musical performance, you produce audio, which then feeds into the brain of a musician, who then makes an decision to change their behavior in response to what they're hearing, which then effects the audio. Those constant round-trips through the brain make it very easy to notice latencies. (They pull you out of "the zone".)
Yep as the others said. I posted it because it’s interesting to me, evidently others thought the same.
I fly around europe on almost a weekly basis to and from a wide variety of airports. My ID has never been checked before security.

I think maybe you’re confusing the checkin where you might show your passport with an ID check? You can completely bypass this by checking in online, and the airline doesn’t actually inspect your ID anyway.

I don't get how people still put Poland (and Hungary) on the same level with Belarus or China. Both are democratic nations with just a right wing leadership and political system. And european right wing is more left wing than the Democrats in the US in many social policies.

Poland isn't Northkorea or China, despite how the media likes to portray them so. They are way more democratic than the last Trump administration, even if that doesn't mean much to be honest.
Indeed I just tried out Nightly and am disappointed it is missing. I have given them a little nudge so hopefully they add Look Up to the context menu before this hits stable.
It might not be inline with your exact goals, but I've really been enjoying doing audio visualization lately.

I'm using the Unity game engine, and am leaning heavily on already-implemented FFT algorithms available on the Unity AudioSource component, but the fun part is taking the spectrum data, dividing it up into bands, and doing visuals with those.

Here is a short video showing a simple audio visualization demo I created: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYt0dcUY3i8

It led me down a bit of a rabbit hole with watching videos about Fast Fourier Transforms, and learning more about audio specific programming.
I love anything that tries to make things easier for scientists, but this… this feels like a solution in search of a problem.

The about page is confusing. It sounds like it is trying to be researchgate, but the title says github for science; there is nothing on there about being for code!
One way that I found out recently in the vite github repository [0], is to use github actions cron job to automatically close issues with certain labels, like "needs reproduction".

This way maintainers need to at least explicitly set the label before the issue is closed automatically, and not the other way around.

Russia could react by operating flights from Minsk using its own companies that have a permit to fly over the EU. Otherwise this is in fact doing the Kremlin a service since it makes Belarus even more dependent on Russia. Lukashenko has been digging his own hole when he ordered that the plane be diverted to Minsk in order to arrest that poor guy and his girlfriend. Now his only "friend" is Putin.

I was using vim mostly while working on projects with a single board computer. But at that time I only knew the basics of searching, jumping to a line and entering insert mode to edit some text.

One little shortcut that I've noticed even some experienced users aren't aware of is :x to save and exit. It is equivalent to :wq
Well I think it’s fine to try new models, what’s the harm? I also applaud attempts to use cryptocurrency for something useful.

Academia is quite thoroughly broken, everyone in it hates it. The reality is with the existing publishing model you do upload your precious work to some random site. There it is judged by faceless editors, and sold for profit if they deign to publish it, after you have done professional level editing and graphic design for free. And you do this only because of a consensual hallucination that this is not only essential but the true measure of one’s worth as a scientist.

Yes. But the pilot doesn't.
On (1), the Secretary of State is not a civil servant, that term means a government minister. The point is that the interception should have been authorised by someone who is not part of the government. I don't know who they think that should be - ideally it would be a judge, but often in the UK this stuff can be authorised by a senior police officer, etc. It might end up being the Investigatory Powers Commissioner, who is basically a rubber stamp:

I think the fundamental reason is that there aren't that many alternatives. Of course, if I were to write application software of any kind I wouldn't choose C, but for things like FFI/interop or embedded, anything that isn't C, C++ or Rust is a complete non-starter, and even C++ and Rust are often a stretch.

It's not. Lukashenko is bankrolled by Putin. You react too aggressively to Lukashenko and you're not just taking on Belarus, you're taking on Russia. Then Russia starts throttling gas supplies to Europe and so on and so on. As the sibling comment says, geopolitics are complicated.

The fact it's more permissive with its license already does not bode well. Just like with Chrome, there could be a myriad of forks that can be closed source themselves and so without easy means to peek inside what they're really doing, and although many distributors did the bare minimum with Android due to its Linux kernel's license, there was something.

This was surprisingly underwhelming. Also I can 100% guarantee you that you will not travel across the alps in the same amount of time in January as you would in July despite this page suggesting you will, so quite frankly I don't see what the season selection even does. For example Penne Locos to Augusta Praetoria leads over the great St Bernard Pass (yes where the dogs come from) has an elevation of about 2400m over sea level and in January an average temperature of -7°C and a couple of meters of snow covering it.

Is your behaviour in this thread a coping mechanism intended to relieve your own anxieties and make you feel good about yourself? Or is it a genuine attempt to convince vaccine skeptics by shaming and scorning them with appeals to emotion and ad hominem attacks?

In any case, your arguments, if they can be called that, are very doubtful, in light of emerging evidence about the risks of the vaccine (see OP), and the diminishing infection rates in many countries.
Thanks for correcting me, however I consider it an example of double standards. The manhunt for whistleblower Snowden, is according to you justified. The man who revealed the mass surveillance the US is engaged in. Which by itself is beyond any point of legality. However everyone is "enraged" now by the arrest of a Belarusian anti-government journalist and propose sanctions against the country which will affect their already crippling economy.
Poland, and Hungary even worse, are trending authoritarian/undemocratic. There is still a very long way to go before they even begin to approach totalitarian dictatorships like Belarus or China (or even Russia).

But to me Poland and Hungary are more immediately worrying because they are EU countries and they only very recently took a turn for less independent courts, less free media and so on. There is still time to change course there, while in Belarus there isn't.
This looks great - well done!

My two cents - I personally get put off by business models that include a lifetime access one time purchase option.

From my personal experience (as a prolific SaaS early adopter) it typically indicates that either; the software is a get rich quick scheme (e.g. spin up/spin down VPNs), or the founders haven’t accounted for scaling/recurring organisational costs in their business model.

If your product is good and it continues to provide value, people will continue to pay to access that value. There is no need to short change your business model with an infinite customer commitment ;)

This looks interesting and offloading the actual proving to coq is a great idea. That allows them to not have to spend the time writing, verifying, and convincing others that their prover is correct.

To me, full democracy just means a democratic system which enjoys the consent of the majority of the people. It could be parliamentary, presidential, proportional representation, direct democracy, whatever. I don't think outsiders or third parties have a right to decide whether a system of rule that enjoys the support of the people 'counts' or not.

That's entirely independent of my view that direct democracy is a terrible mistake because it decouples responsibility for making a decision from responsibility for implementing it *. However, if you can persuade a population that it's right for them, then fine.

* We can see this with the Brexit referendum. For 2 years the UK had a government and parliament that didn't want to leave the EU responsible for implementing legislation and a treaty to leave it. The result was political paralysis. Fortunately we now have a government aligned with the goal, but that's just pure luck.
Off the top of my head, I believe it was due to research done during the SARS epidemic in the early 2000s that trailed off as funding dried up when it was no longer an immediate threat.
So it's ok if it happened 36 years ago? Morales's airplane incident happened in 2013 - is that fresh enough?

Are you sure Snowden flying over US would result in US doing nothing?

btw this can hardly be counted as a hijacking - custody is better description. Airplane with all other passengers continued trip after few hours, so it's more like mild inconvenience.

Please try harder next time.
That it's rarely deliberate.

I certainly agree that people mix them up. If you ask someone to quickly estimate the average/mean of something, you are likely to get some other location measure, like the median or mode. Some of this might be a heuristic: it's easier to mentally estimate the middle/most common item than it is to keep a running sum, and for many distributions, you get a similar answer. Some of it might be due to fogginess over the definitions. And, of course, these other summary statistics are often closer to what people regard as a `typical' value, especially if there's a long tail, so it

On the other hand, suppose we had some data like this

X=[2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 8, 16]

If I asked you what the average of X was, the answer I'm expecting is "5.4", or perhaps "the median is 4", "the mode is 2", etc. I would be surprised if you just answered "2" or "4", and once I figured out what you did, I would find it annoyingly pedantic.

I've worked with a lot of different people from different backgrounds, and I don't think anyone has ever used (unadorned) average to mean something other than the mean. Perhaps your experience is different.

Web Audio API and JUCE are the modern building blocks for mostly everything out there; if you're familiar with these, that's a really good place to start.

If you're looking for something accessible, SOUL is an excellent domain-specific scripting language that leverages JUCE underneath; see https://github.com/julianstorer for more context.

I think it’s really simple.

Hungary, yes. Poland I think is less surprising. It's been mostly Hungary that has had the reservations recently about other countries' inner affairs recently.
You seem to be correct. I think I was confused because I was getting reimbursed 100%.
The attribute language seems a little clunky in its current form (although apparently it's an upcoming C2X standard). The idea of separation logic applied to these problems is promising though.

To cite zuckerborg in his famous Freudian slip - "And try not to let stuff bother you as much as possible, but it is going to bother you because you're human. And I was human... I am human still... but it, I was just referring to myself in the past, not that I was not human."

Dehumanization on social media is a real threat to mental health. The Zuck seem to have transcended us mere mortals in that regard, good for him. It's not the "addiction", it just that you are a digital cattle, consciously or subconsciously you know it and behave accordingly.
America's internal process revealed these things. Its own journalists and its own whistleblower mechanisms.

If you lived in America, you would see the huge amount of protests on the streets against the Iraq war and other international adventures. Also, US politicians with significant power regularly speak out against such adventures.

This is America's internal control mechanisms. There are no such mechanisms in China.

Anyway, there's no point discussing this further. Either you understand this level of nuance, your you inherently believe in the notion that "all countries are equally bad" type philosophy with no regard to how information is brought to light and how a country is constrained.

Thanks for this valuable insight. I have learnt something from this. I understand that you do have something to be proud about and that it's not just being proud of being gay, but proud of being gay in this world.

People like me often make the mistake of jumping too far ahead. I'm basically already 10-20 years ahead here, so in my mind I don't feel like you need to be proud of anything. I have to remind myself that others aren't as quick and change happens more slowly.

Shame that my original comment was flagged, so I'm probably the only person who will read this.
Au contraire, I think they amplify that signal! It sends a pretty clear message to people who file these annoying issues as well as acts as a deterrent to would-be pests who search for an existing issue before filing.

> Academics might have their own grand plans for society, but funding agencies generally want industry to take over at some point and run with it.

Sure, but people can have different views about where that point should be. Documenting industry-relevant know-how makes it even easier for folks to take the result and run with it (providing the 'impact' that most funders will ultimately care about), so I agree with GP that it's very much a proper field for academic research.
