I'm not excusing Britain in any way for allowing the East India Company to behave as it did. I believe many of the British ruling class were shareholders and benefitted directly from its depredations.
You can extend redis with lua to perform atomic operations, too. And it has bindings in a lot of languages by virtue of its protocol being so simple.
> Ants do not apply their conscious intelligence to choose whether to become a worker drone or soldier drone; it is controlled by chemical signals.

From what I know of antkeeping, this isn't true and they actually do make a conscious decision. (Based on things like food availability, perceived threat, etc.)
Both of those citations appear to be looking at income inequality measures rather than wealth inequality measures.
Is the GINI scale linear? In other words, what does a difference of 0.81 vs 0.85 mean?
This is sadly true, completely due to inability of bureaucrats of using their brains and mostly done by the administrative services of Lisbon town hall.

It is a major political scandal in Portugal, and does look like the town hall president will not survive without resigning.

It is a clear case of "Hanlon's Razor" although a very unfortunate one.
The British Union of Fascists was quite happy to have uniformed marches, rallies, etc. until the Public Order Act 1936 banned political uniforms.

Could you tie that to the royal family?
The procedure started in 2011 because it was when the Civil Governments (that previously had this responsibility) were extinct by a government led by the current opposition party in order to save costs and create a leaner government.

Journalists have had this information since January and decided doing nothing anything about it.
Also relevant that candidates for local elections are lining up at the moment.

Nevertheless the procedure should have been known by the Mayor and reviewed ages ago.
An ancient and hereditary monarchy devoid of political power is the easiest way of providing an apolitical head of state.

In the terms of the UK, the monarchy is interwoven with the national identity; it is its link to its past in human form. Most British people don't despise everything that has been done in the name of their country, and hence see the pragmatism of the constitutional settlement the UK landed on as the acceptable adjustment required to maintain something resembling a democracy.
I don't think middle-east climate change was man made, as there is evidence that the same thing happened in North Africa.

There is evidence of lush farms in what is now the Sahara desert and civilizations that existed there had significantly more resources.

Early Egyptians documented this as well. ...and the Carthaginians were likely the last holders of that fertile land before civilization moved north in the Roman Empire.

Global temperatures rose causing desertification along that entire latitude.
No absolutely, sorry if I sounded that way.

I certainly was not saying you were excusing, just adding an addendum to your comment.
Because 60% of European GDP is government spending, and the place where government gets most of that money is by taxing private businesses (profits & cap gains), their products when sold (VAT and import duties), and their employees when they are paid by said businesses (income tax).

No businesses means no wealth to redistribute which means no safety net.

They are literally the bedrock of the entire system. So yes, society should place massive importance on making it easy for them to operate.

Infinity (both the "cardinality of sets" kinds and the "limit of an increasing/decreasing function" kind) are generalizations, not abstractions; and both have proven extremely fruitful generalizations both theoretically and practically.

While it is probably true, it is a woefully low bar to clear.

The Australian aborigines have clearly been treated appallingly. Whether it amounted to a deliberate genocide I don't know enough to say.
Taking a victim stance isn't helpful.

Of course not, universal suffrage is merely a necessary condition for democracy. Many formally democratic states of today arguably aren't democratic either.

By the standards of its time, I'm sure the UK was already democratic back then. But not by today's.
What a completely ignorant line of questioning. You have no idea what product I work on or if I have anything to do with compliance. And you appear to assume that the use of personal data is a binary switch you can just flip on or off, regardless of the product.

Got it, so if we don’t agree with how something is used we shut it down. Republicans attempted this before with bakeries, so I guess this means it’s ok now?

And the inciting violence thing, you realize that’s a left belief yes?
You don't need to go to HF to detect stealth aircraft. Even VHF will work. But it's not going to be accurate enough for targeting.

Another approach is to passively listen for reflections of cell tower or FM radio signals. Stealth aircraft do not reflect much radio energy straight back at the source, but they do reflect it in other directions.
On Android you can use a private DNS service, for example nextdns.io which will block all advertisement on the page for you. I wouldn't be surprised if iOS would have the same option.

> you have to build your own monitoring stack,

How is this done in Redis automatically? At some point you are writing queries (albeit Redis ones) to pull metrics. Other queueing systems may expose an API but there is always some level of integration. With Postgres/other db I would write SQL which is their API and a powerful one at that.

I can couple events with triggers to auto-generate other events etc, have built in audit capability, roll up reporting etc, all with standard SQL. (all in the context of monitoring and reporting)
I think you misunderstood my question. My guess is that the plan to use the volcano for mining bitcoin is to put a big bitcoin mining data center close to it and powered by it. My question is why this is better than expanding distribution of the power generated to be used for more useful things across the country and region.
I agree but this isn't a done deal. The potential is there and there is no reason why it shouldn't be able to compete.
Try the Cosmopolitan Libc implementation of popcnt(). It uses CPUID checks for compatibility which get hoisted out of a tight loop by the optimizer so there's no performance loss when building for -march=k8. If you build for -march=native then they get DCE'd entirely. See https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/master/libc/bits/p...
There is also the case of the secret Palantir contract in Greece. The bounds of GDPR need clarifying in respect to non EU governments and also public private partnerships.

Huh? Are you opposed to vaccine mandates or opposed to having to show proof? Because I see absolutely nothing wrong with to the effect of “don’t want to socially distance or wear a mask — show me your card.” And the fact that some businesses don’t want to monitor their patrons and only deal with fully vaccinated people is next logical step in a crowded closed-in bar where you literally can’t distance.

But there is some nuance, if we find that unvaccinated people are actually burdened by the number of businesses outright refusing them that it’s hard to go about their day-to-day “buying groceries” so to speak then there’s a very real case for government to step in and say “hey you have to provide some accommodations.”

This isn’t really manufacturing consent, it’s much much more like ADA regulations where businesses had been accommodating unvaccinated for the past year and are now starting to stop.

There was no request (afaik) done by any of the involved parties.

By law, if you’re planning a rally/event/etc you have to make a request to your local mayorship, who then approves it (or not) while informing the police about it, so that security details can be planned.

Since the rallies in question involved displays related to certain countries or were held in front of embassies (like the one supporting Navalny, which brought this case to the limelight), the embassies were also informed about who the organisers were.

As some one on the comments already mentioned, it seems to be a case of Hanlon’s Razor albeit a very unfortunate (and disturbing) one
One thing that's annoying about responsive images is that the displays with highest density are built into the devices with the potentially shittiest bandwidth.

So on a image heavy site, I might deliver 3x sized images (which may several megabytes) to an top generation iPhone in the middle of nowhere (like rural Germany) on a Edge connection...

I wish there was a CSS media query that would also consider the current network connection.

joaofs explained what happened. It was Lisbon town hall doing this not the Portuguese government. This of course, does not excuse this new level of bureaucratic stupidity.
I find it somehow interesting that the reordering procedure also never terminates (as is of course expected for an iteration over an infinite set)

So, if you stay in the hotel analogy, each additionally arriving guest will create a unique "reordering wave" that ripples through all the infinite rooms. This wave would keep going for all eternity.

So if the hotel had k additional guests check in at any time in the past, it will have k reorderings going on forever.

(That also makes the difference between finitely many additional guests and infinitely many more remarkable: you can also accomodate infinitely many additional guests with a single wave of reorderings)

Not sure if this is in any way a useful observation, but it made the whole hotel scenario somehow even weirder for me than it already was.
Thank you, :hugs:
> Sports are typically hours per day.

Maybe in some parts of USA. Definitely not the case for Europe.
I agree.

Going from a single database to a (database + queue) means two server processes to manage, maintain, observe, test etc.

I actually start with SQLite to reduce as much distributed state as possible, then move to something else once it’s proven it will not work.

Now we're just in the standard web arms race. And that's the kind of work he's already said he doesn't want.
You're not wrong, but if anyone on the team has already worked with a queue system that they need to manage then utilize something that scales. Otherwise there's no reason to use the cloud solution you're hosting with which hand hold you to make it work quickly with your integration.

It wasn't to anyone that asked, the city hall sent it willingly to any embassy "relevant" to the protest in context

I don't think it was a case of pandering to economically important regimes, it was more like disgusting and malicious incompetence, like most things that come out of the public sector in Lisbon with this government
He meant this new word as a warning: Modern societies would learn how to measure intelligence in children so exactly that they would be stratified in schools and jobs according to their natural ability.

> it's this mindset that allows the US to be far more productive

https://data.oecd.org/lprdty/gdp-per-hour-worked.htm

GDP per hour worked for the US is $72/hour, same as Belgium. France is $68, Denmark $75, Germany $66.

Is 9% "far more productive"?

Japan FWIW is $47/hour.
Having worked with a few large IT services companies, I’d question their definition of “productivity”. I suspect it’s related to Jira tickets completed or short term revenue (eg billable hours). I doubt it’s measured in terms of end user outcomes.

My experience of these large IT services companies is that their middle management is very focused on maximising profitability for the work their engineers are doing. To the point that they hold engineers back from doing the “right” thing. Eg “don’t add logging to this new feature - it wasn’t explicitly mentioned in the change request”. You could argue this correct from a purist capitalist perspective of course. But that just underlines my belief that outsourcing IT to outside services providers is always more expensive in the long run.

For me, the fact that remote working lessens the influence of middle management is a feature not a bug, even if it hurts the large IT Services provider business model.

Yeah I've also done my research and found a lot of similar stuff. The problem with this particular one is it requires Internet* to work. I don't feel good about WebRTC and having to share my public IP address for such a task.

Also, it requires you to open a webpage every time you use it. I'd really like the user experience of AirDrop that you need to do nothing to receive files. So I made LANDrop a daemon-like stuff.

* It has a mode that you can save the page offline, but that doesn't work with iOS.
>Yeah but at least we have those rules that VW could then break

What kind of logic is this, that breaking rules is fine since at least we have them? Honestly, that sounds like a child who just wants something his way rather than a logical argument. What's the point of rules if you don't bother enforcing them?

Speaking of rules, do you know the ones Wirecard blatantly broke and BaFin not only ignored the but actively pursued the foreign entities who tried to expose Wirecard's fraud, basically doing BaFin's job for them?

Yeah, big German companies are such saints and the Government institutions so efficient and incoruptibile in Europe /s.
Not directly related to my work schedule, but I like writing all my notes/snippets in a self-hosted Joplin[0] notebook. I have Joplin bound to a hotkey and whenever I need to save/search for something I quickly open it.

This made a lot easier to repeat tasks that are done on regular, but not so often basis, like for example having a snippet to copy a database from one server to another. In the end this saves a lot of googling around when I want to do something I did before.

Indeed, you can't hold someone responsible for something that happened before they were born. But we should also face up to the truth that Britain did things in her own interest (as does every country) and the interests of the colonised were given very little thought. Even some of the indisputebly good things that the British Empire did, such as helping to end slavery, were arguably in her own econimic self interest.
How are they "overstepping local governmental mandates"? Seems to me a business should be free to require vaccination proof, and personally I'd be very hesitant for the time being to dine inside at any place that doesn't require proof of full vaccination or a recent negative test.

I agree it’s pretty inappropriate but in fairness to the author, they’ve gone for a retro vibe and content like that was, unfortunately, pretty common back then. It was a different era in many ways, not just in term of technology.
US seems more polarized (esp in politics). The good is better, the bad is worse, the sane are saner, the crazy crazier.
I have had two separate benefits from using just Postgres in apps:

1. It’s one tool to learn. No need to upskill on topics, partitions, consumer groups, routers, brokers, etc.
2. It’s one transaction boundary. You get a lot of “magic” for free when you know that a rollback will not only revert application state but also NOTIFY events published and queue jobs in flight. This alone makes Postgres a powerful option.
Sounds entirely reasonable and sane process. You have to allow these foreign embassies to prepare against potential terrorist activities. In some case when known anti-government terrorist forces are identified they have good reason to increase preparedness.

More fair =/= perfectly fair.

I don’t care that someone has well over 5 orders of magnitude more wealth than I have. It doesn’t materially negatively affect my life in the least and, on the contrary, their inventions make my daily life better by wildly more than any negative impacts their houses, yachts, airplanes, or rockets could possibly have.

I’m here to spend my life energy and time pursuing the things that are important to me: raising and loving my family, doing work and hobbies I find stimulating, traveling and learning about the world. Bellyaching that I’m not a literal or figurative monarch is not among the ways I choose to spend my time and energy.

openssh for the longest time (maybe even now) also did not respect "--" to mean "end of command line options", which also complicates any attempts to sanitize input for it.

True. But most try to make sure that they have just a little bit more than anybody else around them.

Wouldn't help much with it right there in the URL too.

Even if it weren't, triggering a password reset for somebody and then fuzzing the url space ends up working pretty quick. I saw a few comments talking about rate limiting but since these are by definition unauthenticated requests, that's not going to help you either.

In terms of performance analogy though, hard drives do not get random access to blocks, but RAM does. The practical block size of hard drives is sequential reads of 100kiB+ due to seeks.

Nothing in history is absolute - and the fact that the UK went to war against fascists shortly after that time probably also contributed to their demise, but actually yes I would consider their failure to gain a major foothold an example of this.
