> Pocketlang is a small (~3000 semicolons) and fast functional language written in C

From what I can tell from the comments, pocketlang re-uses and/or re-implements some functionality from the wren language source code:

$ grep wren src/*.h src/*.c
src/pk_compiler.c: /* String interpolation (reference wren-lang)
src/pk_utils.h:// Source : https://github.com/wren-lang/wren/blob/main/src/vm/wren_utils.h#L119
src/pk_utils.h:// Copied from wren-lang.

It seems to contain name and date of birth. Would it be better if it contained the person's ID card number, assuming they have such a thing?
I would say the Hong Kong courts are now rather agreeable to the CCP for various political reasons, but "tightly controlled" is quite a baseless sensationalist remark.

It was only mere 2 years ago when Hong Kong courts decided against the government when they tried to implement emergency measures against wearing masks to quell the uprisings. (This almost led to disaster due to almost-overreaction from NPCSC... which is one of the reasons why judges are less willing to challenge the government now...)

You can argue that NSL courts have judges specifically appointed for the role by the Hong Kong government, but it's still rather comparable to most other legal systems where head of state or the government appoints judges. The US president appoints judges. This in itself doesn't make those judges "tightly controlled"...
Thanks !
It looks awesome.
Listing the changes on the dvc.lock is smart. I am looking forward using that in my projects.
Gaza and Lebanon get the same treatment, but West Bank does not. I assume this is the result of an automatic or crowd-sourced algorithm, rather than a deliberate decision made by the company.

Welcome to the beautiful world of "brand safety". It's not the same but I think the core of the problem is similar to how adtech works:

Whenever you visit a website who wants to display an ad, or whether you see a YouTube video, the adtech machinery tries to guess from URL path, article content, embedder website etc. whether the content is "brand safe" for example to show you Ikea ad.

Each advertiser has different preferences, but many prefer to avoid having their ads shown when the page is e.g. a news page about terrorism, wars etc.

(This has an effect of sometimes demonetising people who create very valuable content but the topic is not "advertising safe" so sorry no ads for you and no money for the creator).
You know that TikTok is no different to the rest of them. (and does the same behaviours of any other social network collecting your data which I find as a damning violation of our privacy.) How else is that 'recommendation algorithm' supposed to work, then?

Another 'algorithm' that governs and orders what can be seen and unseen for the accounts of hundreds of millions of users again. Just like YouTube, Instagram and Twitter.

Once ByteDance changes their algorithm and the users begin to complain about it, then I will point them to this comment and say, I tried to warn them but they decided to 'silence' me instead because I am right.

We'll see soon enough.
Ask HN: Are there people who make a living from just web scraping?

>> And new BTC is continuously being printed

But unlike fiat inflation which compounds, this inflation is fixed so each year it represents a smaller percentage of the total in circulation. The inflation percentage goes down each year and as it approaches 0% by 2140.
The hard cap of 21 million BTC helps as well.

The point is that with crypto, those who have power lose it as they spend their crypto (since the 'money printing' cannot keep up with their spending; they can't afford to waste money). In fiat, because the value of assets keeps compounding ad-infinitum (propped up by constant money printing) the elite can keep spending more and more (wasting quite a lot of money) and they will never lose any power or wealth because their wealth is constantly compounding.
Since we don't know anything about the internals, it's safe to say the goal was "good enough and certified" vs. "snappy but no guarantees it works correctly 100% of the time".

This is an airplane after all, not a consumer-grade gadget.

Name+DOB in digital form is more than enough to track people, even with an offline verification process: We can expect that any number of "interested parties" will attempt to get access to the computer systems of venues operating these QR code scanners, or of their suppliers.

Having someone at the door look at a paper ICVP and a photo ID with their analog eyes has much better privacy properties. (Still bad though.)

Fair enough... Memory is definitely fallible. In my memory, the car is blue, and what I remember seeing is someone pulling the poles off of the line, but just like we've seen with neural networks, maybe my brain is backfilling the events after having read the story.
The driving seems pretty dynamic to me. Maybe "fully" was a bit hyperbolic, as I can't really justify or quantify what that would entail. On the other hand, saying that it's not dynamic at all seems equally misguided. Also you seem to disregard the "limited" and "segment" qualifiers which was there for a reason.
The only way we can actually stop timing-based side channel attacks is by having deterministic (in time) execution. The only way that can happen is by running at the slowest hypothetical rate for every individual operation. So, no cache, dedicated CPU timeslices, dedicated RAM bandwidth.

Luckily, we only need this for untrusted code. What really peaves me is that trusted code is now having to run slower as well.
It's a shame that cross-platform GUI toolkits seem to have fallen out of favour somewhat (as in, native toolkits like Qt or GTK). I wish it were not so. I can see why the electron route is so tempting, I just really hate them as a user.

I wrote a bunch of GTK desktop apps with Python like 15 years ago and they were snappy and you'd never even know it was Python behind it, but I wouldn't do that now. Too hard to distribute, bindings a bit clunky, lots more cross-platform testing, it's hard to look at the relative levels of effort and not take the faster path.
The quoted text is what I saw, with "Generate [...]" in place of a shell command. Found that to be amusing, since it looks like a command, while it isn't the intended one.

No. It's a message encryption, and namespaces are emails, but then, most logins nowadays are identifiers via some email. this is not true. and encodings are fixable and doable in a good library, so there's no misuse.

Not going to try to convince you of anything, just going to share that I preferred to get rid of my MBP 2015 and buy a fairly decent AMD Ryzen laptop for even less money than I made with the MBP sale.

The Spectre/Meltdown issues are fundamental and "difficult" to fix - but mostly exist because we can observe state using very fine grained performance counters. Why not disable (or dumb down) the performance counters, and leave the bugs and better performance in place?

We could enable the counters (and the mask bugs and reduce performance) by normally-off a BIOS flag. I for one would rather have the performance and don't need the counters for day-to-day ops.
Who knows if they won't evolve to cooperate? Just like real life, it's possible that two artificial organisms will evolve in mutually beneficial ways.

If the author models some kind of resource (like food) it may make it easier. Or even make possible for an organism to be a parasite of another and so on.
If you're going that route, I'd focus on small & cheap SBCs. A bare, credit card sized ARM computer is probably going to be more ecological (both in manufacture and operation) than an Intel PC.
Just as a fun test a while ago I made a small desktop app with scala and scalafx/javafx. It's not bad, gives you some of the nice things you get from js guis (reactive rather than loads of callbacks etc).

It depends on which majority you're talking about.

I think the more balanced sentiment (which I've seen across my friends and a couple "KOLs") is that -- it's a trash tabloid, and it's also fighting for freedom and democracy. It's both, and given the current situation it is in, most people are willing to overlook its past as a trashy tabloid and voice support for it.

(IMHO that doesn't make it less trash though.)

My wife did receive a CRP test that confirmed her infection in the hospital(it was over 200) -- that was among the first things the emergency department checked, then an ultrasound revealed the burst apendice, but I don't think there's any easy way to check it at home.

She already had a lot of burst veins from the hospital, so we decided to just do what her surgeon said, basically take amoxicillin for another 7 days and just about it.

If possible you could just scrape some of your favorite tik-tokers using something like this. https://github.com/drawrowfly/tiktok-scraper

I have been working on building my own client apps by reverse engineering existing apps' api and by really deciding what apps I really need. For example, I have the app for some convenience stores and I have realized that the only reason I use them is for the barcode that the app loads(turns out they use a library to generate the barcode buts its the same every time because its based on a customer ID).

So why not just print out the barcode onto a dogtag and ditch the app? Im trying to work my way through each app so then my phone has the bare minimum of of third party tracking. Facebook and Instagram are gonna be the real tough cookies but luckily I have reduced my usage significantly.

there's a difference between the US treating TikTok or WeChat differently even compared to American companies vs the fact that China just has an entirely different legal framework. Facebook or Twitter aren't banned because they're American, they're banned because they're not willing to comply with Chinese law at all, which Chinese companies themselves are subject to. Bing operates in China, as do a bunch of other large American tech firms.

From the first paragraph of the usnews article:

> Studies that can't be verified and may be untrue are much more likely to be cited in the media because they tend to be more interesting

"Interesting" -- ha!

A media business knows its clientele and shovels useful fodder to fill the clients' daily trough. The difference today is that people carry a portable trough with them everywhere.

What is "interesting" to people varies, but what is profitable to media business is clear: purveying ignorance is more lucrative and sustains marketshare.

This may be the biggest socio-political problem of the era. Democracy depends on the success of education and social discourse. I think people _do_ want education and healthy discourse... but their worse impulses are being nourished.

Even old-style media companies knew how to turn nonsense into profit. There is a clientele for prepackaged, facile ignorance. It's the art of propaganda.

Social media has revealed that significant numbers of people proudly maintain and propagate brutish thinking. The modern educational system seems helpless to counteract this phenomenon.

Using modern portable tools, it has become easier than ever to propagate ignorance. It's not just the people, though. It's the people and the "corporate citizens" who are looting civilisation.
This is a genius move. The problem with japan's work culture is that its very hard to change the longer work hours. The alternative is to reduce the number of working days. This becomes level playing field for everyone and so there is good chance this will work, if it becomes law.

Hardware changes slower than software. Some very influential software companies (e.g. Microsoft, Adobe) switched to a subscription model some time ago.

From a marketing perspective it seems to make sense. If your customers pay a lot of money to buy your product and don't hesitate to connect it to the internet, they are probably wealthy but not very intelligent. Ideal marks for a subscription service.

First of all this place isn't meant to be occupied by people on a regular basis. Other than for safety inspections, maintenance and repairs, no one is supposed to be in there, especially not during flight.

Secondly, covers would introduce a lot of problems: additional weight, additional points of failure (e.g. damaging wires if broken/loose somehow), the need to be fireproof and not emitting toxic smoke if getting hot, accessibility issues (covers need to be fixed and removeable), longer inspection times (need to remove covers before inspecting cables), etc.

In this particular environment, covers are unnecessary and introduce more problems than they solve; as mentioned above, no one is supposed to be in there during regular operation.
Nobody is saying coal is a key aspect of the economy but thanks for the straw-man.

I'm saying you can justify getting rid of coal without borderline lying by comparing the jobs to burger flippers. These are respectable heavy industry jobs that pay respectable salaries and they are a large enough fraction of the economy in a couple states that you can't just hand wave it away as a non-issue. A good point of comparison is the logging/timber industry which employs similar numbers and is also geographically concentrated. We need to be honest about the fact that there will be regional economies that are hurt badly if we artificially get rid of coal faster than the market forces are doing.
