> The choice of how and when to update any emoji flag design rests with platform owners like Google or Apple. [...] The related question is whether the international community recognizes a Taliban flag as valid.

Back in 2014 when ISIS invaded large parts of Iraq and Syria and declared a caliphate, this made me wonder what it would take for a new flag to be added. Of course there was no chance their flag would ever be added, but the decisions seem to be a bit more nuanced than just _international_ recognition. See for example the Taiwan flag emoji being hidden from the iOS keyboard in China and not even being rendered if someone looks it up somewhere else.[1]

I could see something similar happening for the Afghan flag, where it would be rendered differently based on which countries recognize the Taliban as the legitimate rulers of Afghanistan (if they do end up taking power, which at this point seems likely).

If Intel provides as much Linux driver support as they do for their current integrated graphics lineup, we might have a new favourite among Linux users.

In the real world, the vaccines don't provide anywhere near 99.99% protection. There are some misleading stats which claim 99.9% protection, but the trouble is that they do stuff like including a whole bunch of deaths from the winter wave which ended before vaccines were generally available and ending before the recent Delta wave. Realistically you might be able to expect somewhere around 90% reduction in the risk of death which isn't nothing but also isn't close to 100%.
"Lots of people do it" should never be considered a legitimate excuse. Trying to use that excuse should get you kicked out of the meeting room.

Thank you for that. As explained earlier, the money is current not in real estate but in diverse stocks/bond (think ETF). I am quite risk adverse and a bit naturally anxious, so I did consider real estate as a solution, but that might not be the best option for me either.
> Tech companies went to great lengths to scrub content that was critical of Joe Biden during the last election

It was there for anyone to see. Bush & Obama Secretary of Defense Robert Gates on 'Face the Nation' [on Biden]: "He's a man of integrity, incapable of hiding what he really thinks, and one of those rare people you know you could turn to for help in a personal crisis. Still, I think he's been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades."

The real issue is that even knowing that and agreeing, it was still pretty easy to vote for him given the alternatives of Trump and Bernie Sanders.
I got a master's in engineering, so a lot of the foundations stuff is missing. Basically the math there is all very applied stuff, not a lot of elegance and overview.
Yup, what people think of as high quality and rugged American "cars" would be the truck. Used widely across the states, durable, functional, and built in the US for the most part.
I don’t - I was just speaking abstractly. In practice I can’t recall ever meeting a dev with elixir experience who seemed unqualified. And I’m using “seemed” rather than something more definitive because I’m referring to a broader set than just people I’ve interviewed for a job.
Quake: Visible-Surface Determination
The greatest book never written. Reading the Odyssey is very like reading Dante and Shakespeare, in that it is a lifelong pursuit. It gets better as your learn about the oral tradition, the Homer question. Read Victor Berard and Julian Jaynes. Read Omeros by Derek Walcott. You can meditate you whole life on how to translate one word, "polymetis". In my experience, the translator's choice with that one word determines the trajectory (and quality) of the epic in their hands.

Our whole culture is so shot through with the effects of these works that it is virtually incomprehensible, even to those who devote their lives to the study. I guess my point is that it is not like reading a 'novel'. It is a work that has shaped, and actively shapes, us as humans.
But…the article doesn’t describe a more tame scenario. You really just seem to have completely misread it. You say it imagines “only 11 deaths” but it’s talking about just people waiting to get into one hospital, not the wider area or impact. If you bothered to read on you’d see the actual imagined death numbers are in the tens of thousands.

Please read the article before commenting falsehoods about it. You claimed the imagined temperature was lower (it’s not). You claimed the imagined deaths are lower (they’re not).

>that is making the web less decentralized

Sadly I don't see any alternative. The need for CDNs is a direct result of the structure of the internet and modern HTTP. We could imagine alternative infrastructures - decentralized transparent network-layer caching so that the network itself caches data and responds to requests with cached results - but the end-to-end structure of TCP and HTTPS make that impossible, for better or for worse. So we have to use CDNs.

Intel has the manufacturing capability to really beat up Nvidia. Even if the cards don’t perform like top-tier cards they could still win bigly here.

Very exciting!
Heh. "Son, explain to me why you need to drive you over to this older man's house with a boxful of floppies?" "It's for school, Dad!"
hi! Thank you for much for sharing your thoughts and feedback!

We also hate this concept of limiting revisions or a need to negotiate every single detail. It takes focus from the work and result to some routine.

I am so happy you saw Awesomic as a valuable alternative!
Is facial recognition less intrusive, or more convenient? I’d argue the latter.
If they support virtualization like they do on their iGPUs that would be great and possibly drive adoption by power users. But I suspect they'll use that feature for market segmentation just like AMD and Nvidia do.

High praise for reading through this entire thing. And even more for the detailed analysis. :D

A web-app OS is definitely part of our long-term goal here, and you've covered a bunch of our thought process.

Right now, we're targeting individuals and they recommend it to their co-workers and their colleagues, which allows us to get it to teams in a very natural way.

Of course, we're still workshopping our pricing model. We appreciate the advice :)
I heard my favorite criticism of Chomsky from a reporter for Vice a few years ago, and I'm paraphrasing, "Chomsky is the kind of person who challenges you to look it if if you don't believe him, fully expecting that you never will."
Delegating .dev was not fine. Does everything need to be for rent?

The name system is a unique non-renewable resource. And it's not like ICANN gave people a lot of choice for unregistered domains.

By your logic, I suppose .onion was not fine either, till cca 2015 when it got special-use status? And all the name system alternatives should be abolished, because we need to rent their TLDs to some uninterested party?

If your goal is to buy electric, why would you switch back to 0% electric, when you could have gotten 95% electric instead from say, Honda Clarity? (Where 95% of your energy on that car comes from electric, and 5% of your energy comes from rare multi-hour road-trips and maintenance burn-offs once a year?)
The Barras, what a place that was back then. A bizarre bazaar chock full of cheap crap, knock offs and "stuff off the back of a lorry" (literally).

I'm probably the same age as Zippy but wasn't really part of any "scenes" due to my rather rural location back then. My first decent crack was defeating disk based BBC Elite's protection. I did this more out of curiosity and to be able to have a backup in case the original disks stopped working (20-25 quid was a lot of money back then for me). If I remember rightly there was a bunch of self modifying code that took a few days to unravel and then that "tada" moment. I also got a hardware based disk bit copier from one of the usual outfits (Watford Electronics?) to make my life easier for the odder stuff. But it's nearly 40 years ago and my memory is now a bit hazy.

I cracked a few other games and apps along the way but became more interesting in coding and tinkering about with my modem. However those early days of illicit hacking about did teach me a few things about how to debug effectively, especially code I've never seen before.
All past years you mean. It's not exactly a recent phenomenon.
If you want to know:

A monoid is just a collection of things that can be associatively "added". Think addition with integers, or append with lists.

Members of the dreaded monad can be sequenced, or composed, while taking into account their context. For instance: if I want to get a value from stdin, then use that value safely; or make a network request and then use the result safely; or run a function that can fail, and use it or short-circuit as needed.
This is a meme. It's true that back around 2015 or so there were some genuine videos made of people finding big mistakes on their luxury-priced vehicles and laughing about it. But that was years ago.

Go check now and see how many horror stories you can find about manufacturing errors on 3's or Y's. These are fine cars. I mean, I'm sure someone can find an error here or there, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with these cars. Tech neighborhoods are increasingly filled with them, just go to a Whole Foods parking lot and look at some. See how many gaps you can find.
Let's see..

The CIA funded and trained Osama Bin Laden.

The US invades Afghanistan and for 20 years does nothing.

The CIA is currently running hiring videos of revolutionary socialists working at the CIA.

The CIA apparently did not have intelligence on how fast the Taliban would retake Kabul.

There needs to be a deep house cleansing at all levels of the IC and DOD and it starts with firing Biden, Milley, Christopher Wray, William Burns and others.

I think this situation can only be fixed by moving up into languages that compile to vendor specific GPU languages. Just treat CUDA, openCL, vulkan compute, metal compute(??) etc. as the assembly of graphics cards.

I mean, the technology in Teslas is very solid. If I was looking at cars technology-wise, Tesla would be really high up there.

The problem is that Tesla has basically the reverse wow factor. The Tesla Model 3 is so unattractive from the inside and outside that no matter how nice the tech is, I don't want to drop 50 000 € on a car that looks like a frog on the outside and unfinished on the inside.

> They don’t charge your costs per person, they charge a flat rate based on the maximum number of people you can add to your account. So doing it this way they’re not circumventing the per device fee they are charged that you’re trying to get them to pay for you for free.

I'm confused, how am I trying to get them to provide anything for free? I pay for the service, and that service has a limited number of account slots, and the people using those slots have their own devices. What am I missing?

Are you under the assumption that child accounts don't occupy a slot, and are free-riding? If so, that's not the case. Child accounts occupy a slot all the same, the only difference is that by providing child accounts to my adult friends, they aren't required to link their existing Apple accounts to the service that's under my control.
I think the focus on ECS when talking about data-oriented design largely misses the point of what data-oriented design is all about. Focusing on a _code_ design pattern is the antithesis of _data_-oriented design. Data-oriented is about breaking away from the obsession with taxonomy, abstraction and world-modeling and moving towards the understanding that all software problems are data transformation problems.

It's that all games essentially (and most software in general) boil down to:
transform(input, current_state) -> output, new_state

Then, for some finite set of platforms and hardware there will be an optimal transform to accomplish this and it is our job as engineers to make "the code" approach this optimal transform.
Besides corporate VPNs, typical consumer VPNs are also set up to allow LAN access. Your average joe-smoe would be annoyed if their network printer stopped working every time they turned on their VPN to watch netflix movies or whatever.

Conceivably in the somewhat-near future (10 years+), most cars on the road will have some sort of ADAS system, in which I'd presume it'd start to make sense for construction to use some sort of digital signalling. Something like a radio signal broadcast that can send basic slow/stop flagging signals to a lane of traffic.

Of course, the problem is, if we haven't developed it today, the ADAS systems of today won't understand it in ten years when there's enough saturation to be practical to use it. Apart from Tesla, very few car manufacturers are reckless enough to send OTA updates that can impact driving behavior.

Lane-following ADAS systems of today, mind you, can work relatively fine in construction areas... provided lane lines are moved, as opposed to relying solely on traffic cones.

Plus while Mojolicious' support for running external processes is extremely limited because it's not really a goal of the project, http://p3rl.org/IO::Async::Process (by the author of the async/await system) is a gloriously complete interface and you can run Mojo::IOLoop and IO::Async::Loop code in the same process just fine.

They still are not saying with which part of that lineup they want to compete with, which is a good thing.

I still remember Pat Gelsinger telling us over and over that Larrabee would compete with the high end of the GeForce/Radeon offering back in the days, including when it was painfully obvious to everyone that it definitely would not.

Don't forget that TikTok is also currently under investigation by the US secretary of commerce to determine whether or not it's a threat to national security.

Are people getting enough out of the content on TikTok to warrant installing an app from a country that has been outright hostile to the US (from a cybersecurity perspective)?

I've seen some of the most popular TikTok content without ever creating an account.

> What would you consider pricing and placement to be if not marketing?

I'm ok with calling it marketing (I don't particularly care). It's just that I don't believe we can have fruitful discussion without first defining and scoping the terms enough that people don't constantly shift goalposts and talk past each other. This kind of thing just leads to very frustrating "discussion" where no matter what you say, someone is going to interject because they have a different idea of what the discussion is all about.

Now the submission unfortunately doesn't define what it means by marketing, but I don't think it's talking about pricing or the decision where you sell a product. Kinda have to read between the lines, but it's probably talking about promotional content about the product. Definitely not pricing or the location where you choose to make a product available for purchase.

My reading is that "the language and content traditionally used in promotional materials about a product do not appeal to nerds." It's probably off but not too far off. The author just didn't find the right words to say what they mean (or assumed the reader can infer), and instead said "marketing." Even with that interpretation, it wouldn't make for a very fruitful discussion, but at least it'd be a whole lot better than having someone explain why they don't think a typical startup landing page persuades them only to be argued against because "no, actually selling cookies at your local grocery store affects you!" I'm paraphrasing of course but I've seen the same discussion here over and over again. It's predictably silly.

> My point still stands, that "nerds" are influenced in their purchase decisions just like anyone else despite using adblockers.

Sure. I don't think the article is about that and I don't see what's the point of going down the "everything affects everything" line of reasoning in comments. That doesn't really say anything new, useful, actionable, or interesting.
No, the point is to preserve the original set of files to account for lost file creations after the directory rename. What point would a symlink achieve? The original directory (the i-node, NOT the entry in the parent directory) with the new, unaccounted-for files would be gone and the symlink would point to a directory with only those files that would have been already preserved by the rename. So pointing "to the same old garbage" is exactly the point.

It is particularly sad how common scenarios this are for users, especially in the US. I have known how terrible applications like Plaid (and alternatives) were, but at various points have been required to use them to do something like pay my rent (this is also a very common theme in my life: I strongly dislike a certain company or app, but find myself required to use them regardless, even knowing that my usage and information will be abused).

Giving my full credentials and my security question answer in plaintext to a third party in order to 'link my bank accounts', and then having them scrape every bit of information they can from my personal banking statements and sell it is... nothing short of a nightmare scenario, from many standpoints (user security, user privacy, user education, anti-phishing, and so on).

I guess it's nice to see this class-action lawsuit, but that it amounts to an average of $0.60 per affected user is, well, not particularly inspiring with respect to my hope that things will ever get better here.

Plaid is used by many industry leaders including Venmo, Robinhood, and Coinbase. When it's not used, usually a similar alternative is. Perhaps the most frustrating part of this is that placing blame on these companies is difficult, as there's no interoperability or open banking APIs that can be used as an alternative.

At least in my area, everyone recognizes the blue oval. Most people I talk to about my car is of the "Why did you get a Ford Sedan??" opinion.

Ford makes good trucks, but not good sedans. That's their reputation. That's where most conversations go. People ask me about maintenance issues and are surprised that I've only had to change the oil, brake pads, and windshield wipers and tires. People seem to think that Ford sedans fall apart if you look at them funny.
Equipment for ion implantation already includes mini accelerators [1] [2]. The semiconductor equipment industry in general has many machines that feel like they came out of a physics lab into a semi fab. For example, plasma dry-etching or deep-reactive ion etching.

This is not specific to ECS, but comes down to the "single controller" (or single writer, single owner etc. many names) problem.

Ideally you want to have one modifier/controller, but you can have as many readers as you want.

When you can't have a single controller, you have several options:

1. Pass ownership. Animated components control position only by animation. Physics components control position only by physics. You can pass this control in time from physics to animation and back.

2. Express one through the other. In this case, express animation as acting on physics constraints, and let the physics engine compute the final position. This way animation becomes just another "physical force" in your game. It can be hard to do sophisticated animation this way though.

3. Have physics-specific position and animation-specific position and have the final position be computed as a formula of both. Maybe you sum them. So either one that moves from a base offset, impacts the position. This depends on what the position is of.
