I just recently did re-format my gaming PC with latest Win10 and it was possible. Maybe because I have "Pro" version, but it was possible on latest Win10.
Yeah, I've loved classes and OOP for a long time, but lately I've been on a project that is going into more and more contortions and complexity to make everything fit a theoretical ideal. It's revived my interest in learning FP languages to avoid the arcane complexity that some people make out of OOP.
true++ and x++ are syntactically different though. The latter is a post-increment of an identifier, and the former is a post-increment of a boolean literal. Different rules may apply to these cases.
>One woman who felt isolated in lockdown said loneliness was now a bigger health risk than smoking or obesity.

So, this is the source of the article. No reference to any single study, despite all the research available on the topic.
What a piece of anecdotical crap this article is.

>Pre-pandemic, the Royal College of General Practitioners Wales called for all practices to have their own social prescriber in a bid to tackle GPs' workload, and "free up their time for those patients most in need of medical care".

In its loneliness action plan it said: "Loneliness and social isolation can be as bad for patients as chronic long-term conditions.
"Loneliness puts people at a 50% increased risk of an early death.

Where the hell is this figure coming from?

What's enraging is how important this topic is. All the bbc could produce is this gossip rag level piece of journalism?
Appalling.
Google's AI has gone totally bonkers. I've been routinely getting emails about 'adult content' in my videos and my videos get age restricted. Last one was a simple screen recording I made of an error to send a company with nothing but mostly white screen.

I tried to appeal it but it also got rejected too (I guess that's also automatic?) and a quick search showed that I'm not alone, it is happening a lot.(1)

The email you get from Google is also very scary like my actions may have some negative consequences for my Youtube account.

> Additionally, much of Africa (20%) is reliant on food aid from the West, so its not fair to assign all of the resource use to the people who are feeding them.

Its going then to come as a shock to your world-view to learn that the UK, a nuclear power, with a permanent seat at the UN, and a card-carrying member of the West, had to receive food aid as recently as December 2020 from the UNICEF to feed their children [1].

So go turn your aircon off.

It's known since the humanity exists that humans are social creatures, yet we as a society don't do anything to promote social interaction between people. Actually, we are actively suppressing real social contact due to the way our society is set up.

- "State / faceless institution" organized social security, reducing the need of social network / safety net.

- The rise of "social media" leading to less social interaction.

- Push for long working hours that leaves not much time for socialization

- Spreading fear through the media. Many people are lonely, yet are afraid to talk to a stranger because "who knows what's on his mind".

- Economic improvements leading to the decreasing necessity and dependence on the extended family.

- Instead of tackling the actual social isolation problems, the trend of virtualization and automation of tasks that previously required social interaction is making it even worse.

- Covid-19 fearmongering and voluntary/enforced (self) isolation didn't help either.

It's almost like we are going to end like in the book "1994" from Borislav Pekic, isolated and afraid of humans, surrounded with robots, unhappy but not able to change anything until the humanity is doomed.

EDIT: Since some misunderstood me, I don't judge if the "state provided" social network is good or bad, or if it should be kept or dismissed, just state the fact that it significantly reduces the need for social interaction between people, leading to more loneliness.

I also observed that in poorer countries with less state provided social safety net, people are much more social and dependent on each other.

The same can be said to other points too.

EDIT 2: Covid-19 is a hot topic. Again, I prefer not to put judgement about all societal effect of it here. By "fearmongering" here, I don't consider only fear from virus. There's also fear from economical doom and fear from the loss of liberties.

All three types of fear are legitimate and present in different social circles and pushed ("mongered"?) by different media.

Which fear is dominant depends on the circumstances of each individual. Person that can isolate himself and has a safe job will be more afraid of loss of liberties than the virus. A person who lost his job due to lockdown fear hunger more that virus, and a supermarket cashier is horrified if he will get infected. Unfortunately, hardly any people can understand that different people can have different fears, and a quick to dismiss ones with different fear.

Anyway, it's again fact that Covid-19 was for many people the final stroke that push them to loneliness.
> and for the west

I find it so odd that many speak in phrases that suggest there is some global “west” vs. “east” whereas in reality it more so seems the case that there is more internal struggle within “the west” and “the east” respectively.

The Chinese in general seem to have a far higher opinion of, and feel less animosity to, say, the Danish, than they will the Japanese.
I was expecting to see some example code, or some actual performance metrics to show why data-oriented design is better.

I actually have written a game that was pure functional style with a single giant state object for the game data and it worked well for me. But I'd want to see some evidence for this approach before changing the entire architecture of my game.
This exemplifies how housing is a depreciating consumer good, not an "investment" like owning land. But the time-scale of depreciation is on the order of human lifetimes, and since humans are generally only exposed to renovated surface layers (floors and kitchen cabinets), it is rare to get an intuitive understanding that the buildings and foundations are depreciating.
We already have two standardized ways to write math equations: MathML and TeX-like notation. The former is the formal standard, the second is what is overwhelmingly used.

It would be great if we could have both natively in the browser, and maybe support for math equations as a system level feature of editors everywhere. But the vomiting-green face-woman emoji gets more money than math equations these days
Start by volunteering.
In a word: flexibility. It supports an identical API to SC, plus: `sx` prop; 0-config SSR (albeit w caveats); a history of superior performance... that's off the top of my head. Also [and with disclaimer that I'm not a huge fan of Material-UI], MUI's maintainers examined their options for their big v5 rewrite, and chose Emotion as the foundational styling engine of choice, aligning with other modern libs like Chakra and theme-ui.

Huy Fong:

Seems very similar, distilled vinegar is E260, and E330 is citric acid.
A Dutch article about this [1] said:

Such a large attack would likely be the end of BTC so the strategy better would bet on it not coming back

a better stagey would be to sell the hardware but make sure most of the units sold operate in a pool you control
you can have multiple pools to make it not obvious. then attack with the pools so the lose in hardware value is not yours.
There are also isolated networks in industry. Wonder how such things should work in future.
Don't Underestimate the Power of Internet
They stay away from complicated ones like port replicators. I'm convinced nobody can make a stable one of those for USB-C/ThunderBolt.
Keep an eye out for games supported on Proton (Steam's Wine facilitation) on protondb.com. In a mere five years gaming on Linux went from a solid selection of native games, to those, plus an impressive amount of high profile titles that just work out of the box (often with better performance on Linux).

Of course there may be one or two titles that tie you to Windows, or perhaps multiplayer specific gaming related software, but if you are flexible in that regard gaming on Linux is just… good.
I'm curious about the use of a wireless camera to photograph the lander and the rover. It seems like extra weight and complexity for purely PR reasons.

Yes, you need to inspect each vehicle, but the rover can clearly examine the lander and move around it, while the lander needs only one camera, possibly an existing descent one, to inspect the rover.

Is Earth in an ideology war again?
It seems you'll have to say it many times more untill this dark pattern will be removed. Apple uses the same teqchinque to trick you into using iCloud making it look like requrement for use your iPhone. For my taste it is cheating and dsigusting because even when you know it can be avoided you should work hard to find it especially when you are in a hurry and this trouble is by "design".
I truly don't understand the point of appeals to an automated process if the handling of that appeal is also going to be automatic.
For me, my Emacs runs fine up till I try using lsp for java development and then it's a bloody nightmare. Currently, I'm being forced to resort to the indignity that is Eclipse as a result of that.

I'm frankly ready for a total reimagining of Emacs even if it means that extension support might be compromised for a while. The last time there was a major divide, we had XEmacs and a lot of the massive improvements that made eventually made it to mainline Emacs so it could only be a good thing for this project long term.

It is sadly part of a dark pattern called "stickiness". You can dress it up as functionally useful or even important but ultimately it is about companies wanting to create enough of a dependency that you have to continue using them, which is anti-competitive.

Gone are the days where you bought something from a shop with no stickiness other than good service brought you back. Now there are far too many Marketing Managers who see stickiness as a win, even though the win is only to the supplier and not to the customer.

It is similar to those web sites who ask you whether you want "notifications" from them in your OS! Nope.
Some workplaces, some bosses.
it is a clear scam. the pattern is exactly the same than 2017 pump and dumb and bans
I don't know about windows, but the comment you're replying to says microsoft encourages you to set up a online account (which I suspect most people outside of a domain would actually want), but allows you to set up a local account.

Yes it's a Dark UI pattern, but I have a feeling Apple do the same thing (I haven't set an apple laptop up for 8 years so my memory is vague)

Is that incorrect?
Yes, otherwise known as optimism ;)
The article is saying that it's going to be mandatory for the new home version of Windows.

A Firewire CDRW was the only way I could reliably record CD's on my 2000's laptop. The USB ones were either 1.1 which barely had enough bandwidth, or the CPU usage went so high...

As a bonus I could daisy chain a 40GB external HD off of it!

Bitcoin mining is a poisson process [1] so you have to look at significant moving averages to estimate rate changes. So far looks like hashrate went from ~140E to ~90E, a 35% drop from peak.

That looks really nice, how is the speed? I did the same in C#, and implemented it up to bus and transistor level. I could execute a Fibionacci program in asm but it was horribly slow (less than 1M instructions/sec)
Are you a TJ grad? It has been wild to see so many people form incredibly strong opinions about the school but have no actual connection to it.

The new policy is race blind. It has further improved access for economically disadvantaged students and students with other special needs. That is precisely the sort of result that class absolutist leftists would hope for.

Further, the merit lottery proposal that activists wanted (which was rejected by the school board and decried by critics as racist) would have produced a more representative student body for all races, including white people because it was a lottery system. The thing you are concerned about isn’t a concern.

The conservative white racists already lost at TJ because their normal arguments of “meritocracy” failed them, so they aren’t an especially important political player on the topic.
Copyright trolls are parasites, I would have a huge problem with them benefiting off my stuff even if I myself wouldn't make a dime on it. You can easily make arguments in favor of rental housing, usury and such, but there is absolutely no defense for this kind of behavior, I just find it immoral.
I'm a FOSS advocate. Please don't make it sound like that. There's plenty of issues with FOSS, including funding.

Like, what we also warn about the fact that a majority of people on earth directly or indirectly depend on projects like, I dunno, coreutils, openssh and what not which receive fuck-all funding.
The idea of Bitcoin is that no one has the power to issue currency. Issuance is limited to 21 million units and all of them are created with energy. No one should have the power to issue currency.
To be honest, I think it’s as simple as it being a better experience for the type of people who would buy the Home edition.

Forcing them to log in with a MS account allows MS to provide a lot of the services people expect using Android or iOS as their primary devices. For one thing, both those devices pretty much require an online account as well. And they contain far more sensitive data.

But more importantly, they also provide frictionless backups, syncing, and a whole host of online services as table stakes, and MS wants to do the same.
You can sort according to the orthography of one and precisely one language. Words from another language would simply follow that, also if that language would sort them differently.
> 1. Greater hash power makes the system more secure from attack

Not necessarily. There's a lot of "latent" hashpower ready to join the fight if bitcoin gets under attack, including random people and orgs around the world and the current miners themselves aswell: a lot of them mine other cryptos aswell, and could diminish their mining intensity on them to devote hashpower to bitcoin wars or stop altogether.
Every stupid mistake by Microsoft is yet another great day for linux.
It's obviously not so.

There are OO principles, which are indeed well-known, and each OO language has its own take on how to implement them.

It's not even needed to use an OO language to follow OO design principles. My day job is pure C and we follow OO principles as much as practical.

Motivated thinking
Funny how the BTC maxis suddenly accept the fact that China could do an 51% attack, now that this is about to change. But in the years and years since China hosted over 50% it was always denied by the same people who know point out why this is good.

You know whats even better. FBA (Federated Byzantine Agreement) instead of PoW/PoS. And nodes all over the globe not just where electricity is cheap.
I just tested different ways of displaying numbers with fingers and the most comfortable way is to start with the pinky finger and then go in order from there. But I guess the downside to that is a raised pinky isn't as clear as a raised index finger or thumb due to it being so short.
Apparently in Windows 11 they removed that loophole, and now you require an internet connection at least once during setup to proceed.
Thanks for taking time to answer, if you can have something more akin to permission categories, that makes it more interesting to me.

By dynamic, in your example, I'm meaning that for example as an employee I shouldn't have access to other employees data, only my own. I don't see how that can be handled statically.

Also, in the code for your lattice example, I guess you'd have a different page for each one? So like one page for human-resource and the variables in the code for that page would be of security-level human-resource. So in that way I get it, you can't accidentally for example on the public profile page add a payroll level information, because assigning from the payroll to the public page would error. But how do you now control access to which page the user has access too? Maybe for this you still need a dynamic permission system on top? And the compile checks only prevent programmer accidentally showing the wrong data on the wrong page?

Lastly, I still don't know if I buy into "levels". From my experience in enterprise systems, requirements always end up that there's no real hierarchy, just various overlapping sets. For example, it's very likely that human-resource would need to see data which the employee shouldn't see, like performance reviews, HR violations about the employee, compensation targets, etc. Similarly I can imagine payroll needing to see some company related financial with regards to the employee pay which the employee shouldn't have access too as well.

That's where I feel levels wouldn't meet requirements, since you rarely have scenarios where one category is a strict superset of another.

I can even imagine this causing leaks, as a programmer might get confused and think: "employee is the highest level, so I guess all those fields I added to the HR page should also go on employee and the assignment succeeds since employee is highest level of privacy, perfect I can leak no data". And now you've leaked private internal company data to the employee.

So here I think what be cool is if I could instead say that some function returns a value of security [payroll, employee] and another function returns a value of [payroll], while yet another returns [employee]. And now a [payroll, employee] can be assigned to a [payroll] or a [employee] or a [payroll, employee], but you can't assign a [payroll] to a [payroll, employee].
By "brick" and "stone" you don't mean literally bricks and stones, right? Because modern houses are constructed with cinder blocks[0], foam concrete[1], polystyrene concrete[2] and composite blocks. And using mineral wool as an insulation is, well, not the best idea construction engineering came to in last 50 years.

I run a company offering form analytics [0] so I have seen plenty of real data on how people use forms. One stupid issue I've seen over and over again is a lack of trimming of email/username/password strings, say:

'john@doe.com '

resulting in errors like 'invalid email'. Since whitespaces are invisible to users, they can't figure out what's wrong.

Bitcoin critics would mention the 51% attack vulnerability and point to the concentration of miners in China. Now that the Chinese mining concentration resolves, it is called bad news for Bitcoin because the hash rate will fall in the short run. But good and bad are on different time scales here.
I for one would take a Ryzen 1st gen out of the trash! I would absolutely use those "trash" machines, and I really hope to see prices go to the ground.

I still have a Maxtor USB/FW400 external 1TB drive. It's both handsome and worked wonderfully on a FW port. It also has daisy-chain capability.

It worked so well for so many years.

> would have to source the specialised chips used to solve the Bitcoin hash function

Specialised hardware is more efficient. It is not necessary. A combination of owned computing and purchased general-purpose cloud resources would do the trick, albeit sloppily and a bit more expensively than it would have been with specialist hardware.
I've had terrible results with using an <input type='date' ... /> for choosing the birth date of users on a registration form. iOS would make this awesome control where I could scroll and choose the date in a nice way, but on Android, the control was just horrible and we kept getting complaints.

In the end, we choose the [day][month][year] dropdown set because it was the only one that didn't drive our users crazy. I really loved the iOS control though.
It seems that by "expected", you mean "expected, by anyone who read the spec" which I don't think is a fair use of that word. Obviously, most JS developers have not and will not read the spec.

I am very happy with JS and TS and I think the coercion rules are easily worked around with linter rules and policies, but they are definitely weird and I think the language would be better if it simply threw exceptions instead. But then, such an issue shoud not be surprising for a language that was designed in 10 days.
On Windows 10 Home, in latest releases, you actually need to disconnect the cable to get the move on without a Microsoft account links to show up. Word on the street is Windows 11 is going to make them actually mandatory on Home, instead of only pretend mandatory with lots of prompting.
