Is a window with different dressing not the same window? Does the window matter or the dressing? Belarus is clumsier than the US but the game is the same.
Ok, been to short into D to understand doc nuances, but what it means:
"WARNING: The definition and usefulness of property functions is being reviewed"

Does it meant that it is just language update proposal? Or it's already tested in D implementations?

anyway, saw it before, ha =)
If I smear some virus on you, you are not infected. An infection is defined by the growth of a pathogen, not its mere presence. When researchers look for an infection, as described in this study, they do not find an infection in most cases, hence the conclusion that infections are not taking hold and the vaccine is preventing an infection.

This entire argument feels pedantic and is based on the idea that the researchers are just playing fast and loose with words.
Same in the 3D world, and video production. I can't think of 1 Japanese software product.
The latest Xbox and PlayStation are literally just AMD PCs that support connecting a keyboard and mouse if you have one (and the Xbox running a locked down version of Windows ripe with APIs explicitly made to have general purpose apps run without rewrite from standard Windows even!) - the only thing not making them a general purpose computing device is the restrictions on what you can run. That the restrictions don't let you run general purpose computing isn't reasoning on why the restrictions are okay to be there in the first place.

Now one could argue the intent is they not be general purpose devices, but so could the intent of anyone not wanting competing stores. I'm not sure the intent of how manufacturers want users to use it factors in as such.

One argument that comes up often related to this set is consoles are sold at a loss (and iPhones are not) on the assumption profitability (not increased profits) will be made through purchases on the platform. This is more of an bona fide difference between phones and consoles but has it's own debate as well (which I'm not going to get into here as this is already veering pretty far off the article topic).
That is remarkable.

I’m a physicist by background, but a materials scientist by current occupation, specializing in polymer matrix composites mostly. It strikes me how analogous living organisms are to polymeric systems. Actually, not analogous. Literally living things are polymeric systems. Proteins are just specific polymers with unique monomer organization. And crazy how the monomers (amino acids) are recycled from one organism consuming another. Solvent based recycling, just like for recycling artificial polymers.

Polyethylene looks identical to a very long chain fatty acid. It’s only not biodegradable yet because the organism capable of doing so has not yet evolved, just like lignin in the Carboniferous.

We are made of nanomachines. Honest-to-god nanomachines.

I ordered a pair of headsets three weeks ago, they still haven't shipped them. Been a long time since I got anything same day or even on the promised delivery date.
Part of that could be the ratio of part cost to labor cost.

I do agree that there's no culture of appreciating schematics around Palo Alto.
That would solve a lot of “well at worse it’s a duopoly so you still have a choice!”. But I’ve given up on purchasable politicians to enforce antitrust on big tech a long time ago. So I don’t know how it will happen. I’d sooner expect congressional term limits which might help.
It's implied that someone is going around calling people with Down's syndrome "Mongos." "Mongol" is an actual non-offensive[0] word which means, unsurprisingly, someone who can trace their lineage back to the area around Mongolia.

Belarussian population has been admirably fired up for quite some time. There have been multiple uprisings.

But when they're up against armed militia and police, they can't do much (this is why so many Americans are adamant about the 1st Amendment).

Targeted sanctions are the only ethical option at this point. Don't make the population suffer like we did for Iraq.
The average penalty kick crosses the line in about 700 milliseconds.

Doesn't sound humanly possible to assess the flight of the ball, prepare your footing, and then finally dive up to 3.5 meters to get to the ball.
FYI technically it wasn’t a forced landing by fighter jets. “Someone” reported there’s a bomb on the plane while they were in the Belarus airspace, hence they did an emergency landing in Minsk.

So while we know who “someone” is and that it’s all planned in advance (the journalist reported that he was followed minutes before take-off), technically speaking the safety protocols were followed, and when landed they arrested a wanted man once he was on their soil.

This reminds me of force landing Bolivian president’s plane in the EU flying from Moscow when they thought Edward Snowden was on the plane.
Perhaps, perhaps not.
Title it as such then? God.
The right to repair won't in any way affect the thickness of new products. This isn't what the fight is for (or against). And there's no reason to think something in this matter would change after right to repair is passed. It has nothing to do with RAM or disk connections.
It is not normal to interfere in the affairs of other sovereign nations unless one of the affected nations requests help. And even then the other nations have a lot of additional considerations beyond doing anything but making a sternly worded speech. Most of the time when the USA inserts itself into other affairs people complain about the USA being a bully and sticking its nose where it doesn’t belong. The EU needs to craft a strong response to this by itself or lose a lot of credibility on the world stage.

Edit: just to clarify, some of the USA’s other considerations would be the risk of getting called out for being a hypocrite- it has done a few shady extraditions in the past.
You do realize that apple products is what he work on/specialize in, right?

Or do you rather that Rossmann talk about what he doesn't know?
I wrote a small python package call r_Freeze: https://github.com/chinmayshah99/r_freeze.

It essentially scanned all the R files in a given directory and generates a file with all external packages that are used by the program.

Its super useful when the R code/ directory doesn't have requirements.txt or basically list of packages that need to be installed.
Determinism isn’t implemented (yet, maybe never) in DOTS NetCode. They have a lot bigger fish to fry right now.

I built a small game with Quantum a couple years back when I took a “sabbatical” (shipped an indie game didn’t know what to do next). I found it extremely limiting at the time, and despite determinism being the promise, I ran into constant desync issues.

Things have probably changed in the last few years, but Photon isn’t a large company and they have limited resources to improve it. YMMV
I will never understand this attitude. Large nation states are able to work on more than one thing and expanding capabilities on and around the moon will directly benefit the Earth one day.
It is almost as if the efforts by the RIAA et al ( framing copying as stealing, would you steal a car? ) have worked.

My comment is in the red.
Well, since ultimately this involves codewords dancing around the "don't want to pay proper wage", America's companies should instead hand their security over to outsourcing firms like they do with everything else that is IT related?

What could go wrong? Make sure to diversify to China, Russia, Eastern Europe, Malaysia, Israel etc.

Oh does that sound like a bad idea? The fact is as soon as the main systems development is outsourced, you might as well have outsourced the security too.

Probably why most enterprise security is a bunch of people buying Cisco appliances and formulating checklists and policies and don't even know specific vulnerabilities or the safety degree of various algorithms.

And of course, their main job, making powerpoints for upper management and occupying seats/budget such that when leaks or failures occur upper management has plausible deniability.
You need to find ways to disentangle yourself from the family drama. Disengage as much as possible. Arguing with it tends to make things worse.

But a lot of the highly volatile topics dont have any like that, because actually doing so would be immoral or unrealistic to actually test.

Things that can't be tested can still be checked against known good mental models and historical incidents.

There is an endless stream of discussions from often quite knowledgeable people doing various meta analysis, showing how there is no/negligible danger, how the tests do not actually work, that the virus is older then 2019 - with the only change being that we now pay attention to it and so much more.

As a software/devops engineer, i feel unqualified to have an opinion on the matter.

What you are describing is really an issue of unhealthy social dynamics. It has nothing to do with the question you asked and everything to do with knowing how to handle people.

It's perfectly fine to not have an opinion on every topic under the sun. People who have and share strong opinions on things they are ignorant about are called blowhards.

Just don't discuss things you don't know enough about to have an informed opinion about. Don't let people drag you into discussions of such things.

At most, listen politely. If that's making you uncomfortable or they are insisting you agree with them or insisting you act on their opinion, don't engage. Shut it down.

I know my government (germany) to be corrupt beyond any doubt.

"The News" tends to be bad news and focuses on everything that goes wrong. No one is perfect and people make mistakes and that's reality, but listening too much to the news will convince you things are worse than they really are.

There is a global health crisis ongoing, so people are stressed out. You see more social weirdness during this kind of crisis.

Politely let people know "I know you are stressed out about all of this. So am I. And for my own mental health, I just can't discuss this with you. Thank you for understanding."

As for actual actionable decisions related to the pandemic, it doesn't matter where the virus came from. It matters that you protect your health and make choices rooted in what kind of future you want.

If travel is an important part of your life, you likely need to vaccinate to keep doing that. So look to your future and questions like that, not to the past and drama surrounding questions of how we got here.

Understanding how we got here can be valuable sometimes for resolving a problem. But that's not what your family is doing.

Ignore all that. Think about what you need to do to not get sick, not get fired from your job, not end up barred from things that matter to you, etc.
The 12% that Epic and now Microsoft charge seems about right IMO

As long as you also read up on the related history of Russia and Communism, too. This is a good suggestion.

The book, "Twilight War," has a lot of material background on the matter.

yah, it’s an unpopular position, but that’s fine. i’ve seen prior unpopular positions get repeated, which means they’re doing their job of bringing diversity of perspective to the discussion.

and besides, irrational certainty (over unbiased reality) is often needed to be a successful (or even an unsuccessful) entrepreneur, so the bias is not surprising.
Well, my team has never had an official DBA either. But we do all the tasks of a DBA. I've installed/upgraded, configured, tested backups, and hardened Oracle and Postgres more times than I can remember. We do all our own DML and DDL work. It really isn't hard to do it right.
Does it matter if it works for a year or two? While meanwhile in the age of planned obsolescence the originals don't work any longer, because of 'warranty period optimised design', or other artificial factors like no (security)-updates, for instance.
As a joke I added paren pedals to a lisp machine decades ago. It really was inconvenient to use and despite a bit of effort to get used to it I easily abandoned it.

That’s a cop out. They have a choice.
Whataboutism is not an excuse.

Also denying airspace passage is a solution in the DIPLOMATIC realm, which is how we want this sort of thing to be handled. Right?

What happened here is that they deliberately let the plane into their airspace, faked a bomb threat, forced the plane down with air power while it was en route to a nearer city, and then arrested a political opponent.

Sorry, that's just terrorism.

(But yes, the way Snowden was treated was bad too. Still, this is much worse.)
If I hear the words “make the game multiplayer”, I immediately 3-5x the development cost and difficulty.
The best reaction from the West would be to release another persecuted journalist, Julian Assange, from his unlawful and unjust imprisonment. Then we could all condemn Belarus in good conscience.

My org is currently evaluating several PDF generation (as well as general BI reporting software) solutions. Several of the options we're considering offer a free AGPL version and a paid commercial version. AGPL is a deal breaker for several members of my team (though not for me) so they would prefer the paid versions of the AGPL software.

So at least in my experience, yes dual-licensing can work
It can help you become a better coder if you know how to code. What it doesn't help you with is teaching you how it works. For example, the first time I learned VS MVC, none of it made sense, especially looking at my leads codebase. He had to walk me through a lot of it.

Could I have figured it out on my own? Probably. Would I have been able to in the same amount of time as my lead showing me? Absolutely not.
In emergency situations it is totally normal to send fighter jets, less so as killing machines, more as agile planes with pilots skilled at close-quarter flying. The fighter pilots can assess the situation, guide the pilot (perhaps with a broken radio or other trouble?) down to safety. Or if it is hijacked and aimed at a nuclear plant, probably then shoot it down. This happens everywhere.

Of course this is a very convenient coincidence here that a random emergency happens with a wanted man in board...
This should be obvious, but just in case: do not store your bitcoin at this address.
It's really odd to me Lua is only used for games. It could take the same place Python has and many other things. It's a nice platform for scripting.
Maybe a stupid question, since I am not a web dev, but how exactly do you render the text with the GPU? Text rendering ain't simple. On top of that, how does that interact with the browser? Can the browser still select the font (size) of the rendered text? Can the user select it for copying?

Thanks for the grounding take; I'd appreciate hearing more about your experience if you wouldn't mind. Either here or offline if you'd rather not share publicly.
Hi! The best example for now is my own blog since it has quite a bit of content https://vitobotta.com/ - it's a blog about programming and devops :)
Or, just a run-of the-mill Apple fan.
I would say the Morales grounding was worse because it also infringed on the immunity of states of head on top of grounding a plane.

> Apple hasn't changed the rules since, like, 2009 before they had the theoretical "monopoly" status.

This couldn't be further from the truth. They have carved out many exceptions to the 30% commission over the years - often as part of sweetheart deals to attract larger entities that have negotiating leverage, such as Netflix and Amazon.
It's not about ease at scale but rather friction locally. If you can enforce tests from the top down then all you've saved is some characters, but if you can make testing easier from day 0 people write more tests and get better coverage. There is no setup.

Also, the unit tests the compiler implements are just special functions, the actually running of the tests can be as dumb or as complicated as you want (Which D makes trivial because of the reflection capabilities).

One thing that I don't think you can do with other approaches, is actually have a unit test inside a template, so you know it gets tested for all parameters that it is instantiated with.
Microsoft already made the claim that smartphones are general purpose computing devices, while a game console is single use one that justifies their walled garden.
Evo Morales's plane was not forced to land in Vienna; it chose to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evo_Morales_grounding_incident

What did happen was that countries caved to US pressure to deny even the possibility of snowden passing through their airspace.

While that's absurd and a rather impolite thing to do; the moral issue there small or non-existant; denying a foreign diplomatic delegation the right to enter your territory is... perfectly OK, even when your motivations are at best dubious.

The fact that the plane even landed in Vienna at all might have been a (successful) PR stunt, since: An audio tape was subsequently released which appeared to be a recording of the flight crew requesting to land in Austria on the grounds they "could not get a correct indication" of their remaining fuel levels." - really? How convenient.

In any case it's nothing at all like the current case, except that it involved planes landing where they weren't originally headed for, due to political interference. Of course; superficial resemblances might be enough in the battlefield that is public perception.

Edit: and if you read some of the other perceptions here e.g. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2013/07/03... - this all sounds like a rather convenient storm in a tea-cup. Given the convenience to Evo Morales, it all looks rather suspicious.

A reasonable and forum-appropriate analogy might be touch-typing.

In the nanosecond at which the lights go out, Ronaldo's brain has finished (the equivalent of) considering the concept of "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" and engaged the autopilot for reifying that into keystrokes while at the same point the amateur soccer player is still doing (the equivalent of) a hunt-and-peck for the "T" key.

From the article: "Belta, the state-owned news agency in Belarus, said Mr Lukashenko had personally given the order for the plane to land in Minsk following the bomb alert, and that a MiG-29 fighter jet had been despatched to accompany the Ryanair plane."
fail2ban is the same as having high number of rounds on password hashes to slow down attackers, and it takes about 30 seconds to install+configure. it makes a lot more sense than the title here, but is only useful as security-in-depth and can't replace other good practices. high rounds on a password hash is also equally useless if you use "password123" or something like that.

i've also seen significant reductions in idle cpu by using it and sending offenders to the timeout bin for 24h.

Fingerprinting is used almost exclusively for anti-spam/anti-fraud. If a company wanted to use it for anything else they'd have to deal with a whole bunch of legal and pr trouble for relatively little gain. While you will be able to see WebGL Fingerprinting in the javascript of most every large website, if you scan for it dynamically you will often find it's only ran on a failed login attempt, for example. (Granted, I haven't scanned youtube in a while)
That's fair. 'Dog whistle' is a bit inexact, but it's not completely off the mark either, I think.

An irony to the story is that Poland (who is a party to this as the registration country of the actual plane, and a self-declared leader of the anti-Lukashenko movement) now demands the EU takes strong actions to secure the EU (Poland)’s security.
