The uk is horrible political mess at the moment. God knows if we'll be able to import or export anything or keep the lights on next week. Not a great place to put a billion dollar global supply investment.
By strong political will to remove barriers you mean that certain politicians with the right motives (whatever that might be) are willing to wave any legal barriers ? Not sure I see this as a good thing.

And with regards to political whims, From the outside it seems that is the specialty of the UK right now. Right now, in my view the UK does not look like a stable international partner, it could go in any direction, who knows ?

It's worth noting that "given said speaker pronounces "caught" and "cot" differently" is a bit misleading qualifier - there are many who have some difference between "caught" and "cot" (with "caught" being similar to "cot" but longer/smoother, with a clear differentiation), but it's clearly not the sound you intended that would match Italian "casa" and IPA 'a'; so pronouncing "caught" and "cot" differently apparently does not necessarily imply pronouncing "caught" the same way you do.

Also, if I listen to the audio examples at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cot%E2%80%93caught_merger then it's exactly the other way around, that the "merged" pronunciation seems like an appropriate representation of "a" in words like Italian "casa", with "non-merged" "cought" sounding very different from that?
I had a late model Mercedes with radar and automatic emergency braking. After it tried to kill me twice I sold it. The dealer checked the system and pronounced it A-ok, which was enough reason for me to get rid of the car if it had been pronounced broken I could have lived with it. But if that's the kind of quality they ship then I don't want to be responsible for it.

> I know it was a discussion for many decades about whether an piece of music should be in the original language or the translation. Everyone settled on the original, so we all sing with absolutely atrocious accents in foreign languages as best we can.

I can relate to that. Pre-pandemic, I was singing in a community chorus, where we routinely had to sing in languages we don't necessarily speak. Typically, the director would coach us. We had an actual German in the audience one time when we did some Christmas pieces in German, and he told us that we sang the words correctly, but it was still odd to hear German with a Chicago accent. :)

I've heard of one top-level group bringing in a professor to coach Church Slavonic when they did Rachmaninoff's _Vespers_. Since I don't even speak modern Russian, I have no idea how well they did it, but their musicianship was outstanding.
I appreciate how humble he is: This I understand, this I don't, here I have experience, but not here. Example: "It took months to understand the bug, but then a fix was created fairly promptly (not by me – I still don’t understand that part of the code)"

Also nice how the issues are handled by team members, that know more about stuff in their field. Like, maybe other people wouldn't be skilled enough to find the issue, but he wasn't skilled enough to fix it.

Learning along the way. When tackling issues, there are always some knowns and unknowns and the experience is gained. Thanks to the way randomascii is written, I'v had some success using WPA.
Unfortunately for many people increasing the expense will simply leave them without any alternatives, which isn't a good thing either.

Think of a low-paid European worker who commutes to work inthe countryside where public transport does not work. Increase cost of commute enough, and it will make more sense for that person to live off welfare than go to work, especially if the salary isn't sufficient to afford same quality of housing closer to workplace. Not good for the economy.

A future without cars works only if we either heavily subsidize public transport in rural areas, or force everyone to live in tightly-built cities full of tiny apartments where quality of life is always going to be inferior.

Susan Wojcicki - polish people would immediately assume it's written online and would correct the surname to Wójcicki because it makes much more sense grammatically speaking and I think that's what it was originally before being anglicized.

Note that 'ó' in not a form of 'o' but of 'u' so subsequent pronunciations with 'o' sounds a bit weird for us polish speakers
There aren't any competitors in the state, and there has been basically no politically influential pushback, so that line of argument doesn't really make sense.

Gorgeous product, I am on the dashboard and adding cards. Is a Gitlab integration in the roadmap?
I’m having a little trouble following since I don’t speak French, but based on other comments here, it sounds like:

1. French YouTuber Micode bought a used SSD from leboncoin.

2. Micode wanted to demonstrate that data should always be properly wiped from used drives.

3. The SSD Micode obtained had been quick-formatted and was never encrypted, so it was trivial to recover the data on it.

4. Micode asked his followers on Twitter to try to identify the source of the drive.

5. It was eventually identified as belonging to Scaleway, and it contained important data from a Scaleway customer’s VM, including an SSH key, source code, and an S3 secret.

6. Scaleway threatened Micode, who now claims to have wiped the data.

7. Scaleway published a blog post claiming the drive was stolen while being transported between datacenters.

Unless I’m missing something that was lost in translation, I call bullshit on #7. They also seem to be claiming customers were notified immediately, but it that doesn’t appear to be the case. This just seems like they sold an old drive that should’ve been encrypted (it wasn’t) and wiped (it wasn’t). Whether that sale was authorized is a matter of debate—one former employee said they wouldn’t be surprised if someone just decided to walk out of the building with decommissioned hardware.
> I don't know! Why do they truncate stuff like that?

Because Linux limits thread names to 15 bytes (not including the required terminal nul).

Other unices are better though not great, macOS is 63 I think.

By comparison Windows allows 32… kilobytes.

Though “runtime” is probably what should be shortened here, “rt” is literally the name of the tokio features for configuring the runtime, so that would likely be more understandable than the trailing “-w”.

All laws are about morality (except for those in science and maths).

We often pretend they are different, or draw a distinction between behaviour constrained by laws and that constrained by personal morals, however the question of what laws to create and how they should be formulated are moral questions.
I don't think an FSM will own your entire state in any sufficiently complex app. Especially considering things like Apollo in the GraphQL world that excel at remote and local state.

If you don't yet have an FSM controlling your UI, then it's hard to understand what it replaces. If you only have a few screens, then it's possibly more overhead than it's worth.

When you start getting complex, and you can't hold every view and how to get to every other view in your head - then it starts to become useful.

Start with the router. All the normal access rules can be implemented with an FSM. But additionally, you can pre-empt changes and block transitions before they happen.

Next multi-step forms. The contents of the forms can stay in whatever state system you're using for them. You just need to expose enough information that you need in your state machine to transition between steps. I've found an FSM is a helpful place to store form state _per step_ when that step is completed.

And finally the rest of your application flows (note not state).

> Believing virtualization always makes things slower is a mistake.

Well, virtualization does make everything slower.

It's just that the boot process ends up quite fast as the virtual machine usually has a much less (and simpler) hardware to initialize at boot, has a simpler BIOS/UEFI, and shorter if any power-on self test. A physical machine can be made to those specs - Intel has done <2s boot from power is applied till a graphical application is visible and fully interactive for automotive back in 2019.
Chip making is relatively clean: sure, it uses nasty stuff, but it's nicely contained and cleanup/recycling is part of a fab. Fabs also aren't exactly a new thing in Germany (XFab, Globalfoundries (formerly AMD), ...)

I don't know that you can call latin characters (romaji) "alien" to modern Japanese. Aside from everyone learning English throughout their entire school career, romaji is pretty common in signage and interfaces. If you write Japanese in romaji, anyone on the street can read it. This is not something you can say about rendering English in katakana.
Under all circumstances, over all of the miles driven. Tesla is very good at spinning things but in an apples-to-apples comparison they are doing much worse than those ordinary drivers.
Yes, that's correct. I'd have to hedge my previous statement and say it's only viable for regular car usage if there are multiple shared cars within walking distance.

For instance in my street, there's one. And another two in the next street. I've got an 8 year old and it works fine and I book up to three trips per week.

But if they weren't within walking range (for a kid) then indeed, it wouldn't be an alternative to owning a car.
This points to the larger perception issue that "anybody who advocates for Rust is part of the Rust community and/or knows Rust well". But there are many Rust evangelists who obviously don't know much about Rust (this is not Rust-specific, it's a common issue in tech). This kind of "positive FUD" is ultimately harmful, as outsiders understandably get tired of the hype and start ignoring any pro-Rust argument, good or bad.

In my experience, the community of actual Rust users is much more level-headed. While most do love the language and the "this aspect of Rust is irrefutably better than the equivalent in $OTHERLANG" opinion occasionally pops up, the community seems pragmatic and well aware of Rust's cons. Case in point: the "should I use Rust" questions on the rust subreddit don't get dogmatic answers, and often result in "Rust isn't ideal for your use-case" advice.

The UK isn't even manning its customs posts for imports from the EU at present. And there is no tariffs on the vast majority of exports to the EU - and certainly not on semiconductors.

But is the automotive industry really the main customers for TSMC? Judging by all the news I read about the company, the main reason for the hype is that they are always on the bleeding edge of semiconductor manufacturing, which isn't usually something that you'd find in the automotive sector.

And assuming that the automotive industry is the target customer: Volkswagen has their biggest plant in Saxony, which is their main EV plant. Also, Saxony is reasonably close to Brandenburg where Tesla is currently building their factory.

How Startups Turn Slammed Doors into Open Windows
Depends on the settings. Limiting it between midnight and 4 or 5, when there's probably the fewest number of people awake, would be one way to minimize switching.

Whether it's a fast on-off or gradual would also probably determine how disruptive it would be.

This would also be done mostly in low-traffic areas, and that'd be relatively easy to determine because you'd have motion sensors to measure things. Heuristics could be determined to see traffic patterns: more people are likely to be out late on Friday and Saturday nights than on a random Tuesday at 0300.

For typing in keyboard, typing Japanese is decent speed in most cases even though IME isn't perfect. It's a bit pain combined with Vim since both IME and Vim has mode.

I am not sure it is always a better system in all situations. Democracies are very easily corrupted by foreign influence.
This is one of the reasons rich western countries love to "export democracy".
One of the reasons strongmen rise to power in third world countries is as a reaction to imperialism.
In that situation it is not even clear you can have a functioning democracy, and then the choice is between a puppet of foreign interests or a strongman.

I also love the double mind-fuck of "karaoke":

EN: but "oke" comes from the English "orchestra" (kara-oke = empty orchestra)… so really should be pronounced "or-keh"? Are we mispronouncing a Japanese mispronounciation of OUR OWN WORD??

(and then of course the Greeks chime in, OG)
An eye-opening exercise you can engage in (by either using machine translation or appropriate language skills) is to look at articles of political significance to other countries in the respective language (and, if you are feeling brave, the talk pages as well). For instance, if you look at the jp.wikipedia articles on key WWII atrocities that Japan has been accused (and, in our historiography, convicted) of, you could walk away with the impression that everything from Nanjing to Unit 731 is a thoroughly discredited conspiracy theory.

It's not that the sources that en.wikipedia uses to arrive at the opposite conclusion are even banned or neglected, or the reliable source policy is different at all - the difference is largely achieved by structure, prioritisation and editorialising, such as immediately offsetting every statement at odds with the narrative end with a healthy dose of FUD (e.g. the Unit 731 article's mention of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoshio_Shinozuka is a four-line paragraph of which the last two lines are to the effect of "however, his statement has been cast into doubt because POWs in China have been known to be brainwashed into self-criticism, and moreover Unit 731 did not have a Youth Brigade at the time") while letting the ones in agreement stand uncritically. Looking at the talk page, it is clear that the articles tend to be maintained in that state by a number of opinionated power users who have far more devotion and domain knowledge than any drive-by editor in disagreement can bring to the table, which is basically the same thing as the English Wikipedia is being frequently accused of (though perhaps more stark here because they look to be so obviously in the wrong to the Anglo-American observer).

I do wonder how this problem could be solved in a systematic way. It does seem to me that the effect of powers users who feel ownership of an article or topic is basically universally negative the moment the article becomes a subject of political controversy (as the power users tend to use their power to defend the undue weight given to their preferred viewpoint, at the expense of the NPOV ideal), and this perhaps would suggest that a sort of no-questions-asked https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostracism mechanism might be good (make it so any editor that becomes too prominent can and will be easily banned from editing an article; if they are actually right, then surely others will take their place in defending their position), but it is also easy to imagine that this rule would be gamed to detrimental effect by off-site canvassers (say, a real-world club of homeopaths could over time muster enough warm bodies to outright take over some article on medicine).
