Well, a large percentage of new property owners by now is most likely to be some money laundering organization, pumping there ilicit gains into a new housing bubble. So why should we be concerned with thieves stealing from thieves while a third type of criminals actually uses the value created to contribute to society -for example by raising kids?

Who cares about the old lady stealing sweets from the reception candy dish during a bank robbery on a mafia bank?
Yes, and I'm pointing out that the dissenting opinion is weighing in on the legality of it, you just choose a quote that's not about that part.
Someone has apparently extracted some of the game files and confirmed it. But let's wait and see.
I am saying you shouldn't boycott facebook to solve the issue with election mangling and profiling, if you want that you need to ask your representative to regulate that, otherwise while you leave, the people most subject to misinformation are still there to be fooled and the society as a whole wouldn't benefit.

But of course if you don't want facebook to make money(1), or it doesn't respect your ethical vision, then you're free to leave, knowing that it doesn't solve the problem

(1) the whole web is still full of like buttons, so you're making them money anyway

I have this kind of conversation with vegans I know most of the time, they boycott meat industry, without triggering any sort of regulation, to switch to agro products, then when put in front of agricultural companies employing clandestine labour without rights and contracts, they dodge it, as you can't boycott all food and eat rocks, boycotting is useless, regulations are king
Talking about these issues at the individual level when it should talked about in broader terms distorts the reality of the situation. If you try to convince "no-risk" individuals that they should get the vaccine for their own health, you're not going to get very far.

But explaining to that same 20 year old that he might unintentionally bring COVID home from college and proceed to unintentionally infect high-risk parents or grandparents? That's where the real damage would comes from.

The peace of mind knowing I'm not going to unintentionally kill off members of my family is priceless.
New Version of Classic Mac Game 'Myst' Available with M1 Mac Optimization
I recommend Thailand. I don't live there anymore but I used to. It's very doable to live on $1000/mo if you don't live in the center of Bangkok (try Chiang Mai) and eat local food. You have the added bonus of a huge expat and digital nomad community, including many game developers, and no problems doing everything in English. Most things are no-hassle, no big deposits, etc, you just pay, and that's it.

And nice beaches aren't far away.
It seems this has unnerved HN vax optimists.

Time to start planning the 4th vax shot next spring!
Oh yes, that's what I need as a user: files on my drive that I can't read.

It's enough that I already can't read the data that's being sent and received by my own computer, because of certificate pinning.
That video is really sped up.
A simple variable would be a scoped resource, unique_ptr can be transferred.

{
RAII file = ....;
// do stuff
} // file is no longer open

vs

unique_ptr<RAII> outer_ptr;
{
unique_ptr<RAII> file = make_unique(...);
// do stuff
outer_ptr = file;
} // resource still open
And the creator may retain their right to distribute, perform etc.
Phoenix 1.6, RC0 released
I try desktop Linux every year and honestly, Gnome 40 is getting close, but Linux has a long way to go on the desktop before it rivals MacOS or Windows in terms of cohesive user experience.

This is an unpopular opinion in the FOS world but; I know I can donate, but I would love for there to be a high end desktop linux project that had a paid license.

It was actively maintained, adequately staffed and produced a user-centric distribution that could rival the high quality user experience you see in MacOS.

I tried to learn how to write a desktop environment a while ago and I am nowhere near smart enough for that.

I just want there to be an alternative to Windows and MacOS that is actually nice to live in on a daily basis.
I'll just print this off and add it to my pile labeled "reasons we operate exclusively on-prem"...

Its been a long time since someone forced me to break out these articles. Very comforting to see the justification continue with such frequency.

Don't get me wrong - I absolutely love parts of what Microsoft does. Just not this whole cloud thing.

I get, on average, 3 Microsoft major change notifications every day. Can Microsoft even keep up with their own mess internally? I totally stopped trying from the outside. I just keep an eye on .NET and visual studio stack these days. Everything else winds up in my spam folder.
You get the computer to do slightly more work in exchange for significantly easier development, plus you've obliterated entire categories of bugs that can be hard to trace (use-after-free etc).

GC was also originally developed for LISP; I'm not sure it's even conceptually possible to have a manually-manged lisp, although I think there's a refcount implementation somewhere.
I think you know that geo-blocking is due to licensing agreements with copyrights holders, which is a tangled mess in itself, not that streaming platforms believe that the content won’t be appreciated by foreign audiences. Most of what’s on them over here is already in English anyway. Besides, I don’t think Americans have access to 100% of the content available on Netflix worldwide, either.

That said, I agree that it’s ridiculous if you take a step back, and in a sane world we wouldn’t have these types of restrictions. But it’s an artifact of an old, complicated system and isn’t something Netflix or anyone else can unilaterally fix.

I also agree with arghwhat that marketing your service as a way to violate another business’ terms of service doesn’t come across as serious, even if it’s not something I’d necessarily have a problem with personally.
I live near an urban elementary here in Norway: So many bikes are lined up at the racks outside the school and it seems the kids have fun afterwards while going home (usually in groups).

Bike racks are an often overlooked part of having bikes and I wish more places had them! If you cannot keep your bike safe while at work or the grocery store, it doesn't work.
Intel was stupid. They could have become a foundry 20Y ago like every other chip making company on Earth but they chose instead to greedily try and make cell phone chips three times and they failed all three times at the cost of many many billion dollars! And now nobody really wants their chips and AMD chips are selling like hot cakes using up all The foundry resources while intel chip manufacturing lines stand idle, and useless because Intel thought they would be on top forever!
First, there's no need to do anything.

Second, governments can't do the simplest things like provide postal services. Why would anyone contemplate whether they could geoengineer Earth? Ridiculous.

I can see how this nonsense scenario could be used to justify extreme taxation - "we have no choice but to geoengineer earth and we regret having to inform you we'll need to tax 100% of your income". Then we'd have to patiently wait for 50 years to see if it works out. What a joke.
The most successful application of the internet has been the world wide web.

It just happens that that was developed at CERN another inter-government funded research institution.

There’s a pattern here.
Thanks for sharing your experience @cerebralcerb .
I can understand for first time user playing around with new tool can be daunting.
e.g. there is a small notification on top of Table which highlights that "below is sample data, to view your real data that you bind. Plz go to preview mode"

But these feedbacks encourages the team to smoothen the experience further.

Yes, you are correct the platform is capable of creating quite complex apps too. We have many operational tools built on it by IT and business teams alike.

Thanks again for taking time to share your feedback.
A new kind of games company
It is. A "rooter" is a piece of network equipment; a "rauw-ter" is a machine for finishing a hole in a piece of work, such as a drill-hole.

I'm perfectly willing to accept american pronunciation of technical terms in IT; IT tech-talk is a kind of jargon that most non-techs are bewildered by. There's little benefit in clinging to customary pronunciations.

But the machine for cleaning holes isn't in that category. If I were talking to e.g. a woodworker, and referred to a "rooter", I expect that would result in some mirth at my expense, for exposing my ignorance.
Good modern C++ uses shared_ptr very, very sparingly. Most programs do not use it at all. Overuse of shared_ptr is called Java Disease.

unique_ptr is, at base, very simple. A variable of this type owns whatever it points at. Since only one pointer can own the memory, ownersip passes from one instance to the next "by move". It is easy to know, at any place in the code, which owns the pointed-at thing.

It is generally a mistake to expose unique_ptr in an interface. It is an implementation primitive. Very often a class has only just one data member, a unique_ptr to a private-typed object in storage. Users of the type treat it as an ordinary value, but don't need to know anything at all about the implentation object. All the code that operates on it can be off in a ".cc" file, and you can change it without need to rebuild clients.

A vector of unique_ptr is another common class member, to hold ownership of a bunch of objects.

Once in a great while you want to take over control of how the memory is released when an owning unique_ptr goes out of scope. Maybe the memory was allocated with mmap and must be freed with munmap. This is easy to do with one-liner functions, or lambdas.
Chinese authorities say overtime '996' policy is illegal
Yeah using samba is just as hard on Linux. I've struggled to get AD to work correctly with older PC's. We run CNCs with Win 98.

NFS is simpler and easier to manage.
> 2) A lack of bread and butter 1st class "business" apps - you know, office. OpenOffice is fine, IF you are ok with the janky ui and no one knowing how it works.

Having recently reentered the world of the full MS and Office stack, janky shit is the standard.
Word - the app, online and teams. None of them work right. The meme where someone thinks they’ll just move an image is accurate. Headers and footers, formatting and most other parts are actually broken or have unpredictable behaviour across apps that are presumably supposed to be the same?

I feel like an old man shouting into a void, but it isn’t right how crappy the industry standard has become.
1. Other OSes (at least linux) have user keychains.

2. Once malware is running as your user, how do you expect to protect against that even with a keychain? They can log all your keystrokes, extract certificates and keys from applications running as your user or anything your user has access to, etc.

3. How are you going to support different keychains on different OSes? And what happens when they diverge? Say Apple gets "brave" again and allows only Apple signed binaries to access the keychain with the excuse of "user security", will binaries have to roll their own keychain? Are you going to make apps add another corporate dependency?

Triply so if it's hosted by a corporation.

Looking at you, Microsoft. For all the good[0] things you're doing for developers using your platforms, I'm still angry at the way your documentation links rot. It seems that everything that ever linked to MSDN prior to ~2015 will now have their links redirected to 404 or "buy new Surface" page. Hell, plenty of internal links are broken too. It's particularly apparent when trying to read about C++ and COM (vs. C#/.NET, which seems to be MS's main focus).

What are you lacking? OpenOffice not good enough? Use softmaker. Does windows actually have an SSH by now?

3) lack of open source exchange type mail/cal/etc

Evolution, Thunderbird and a few proprietary ones

Can you run it with a working framebuffer and peripherals? Probably not. You'd have to ask Corellium for their secret sauce Apple SoC virtualization.

Can you run it in some capacity? Yes. See https://blogs.blackberry.com/en/2021/05/strong-arming-with-m... and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25064593

With additional work, it should be "possible" to do this on an ARM device and use KVM to get virtualized performance, with unsupported instructions/features trapping back to the hypervisor and being emulated in software.

All that said, it will probably be a long time (if ever) that you will be able to boot a virtualized ARM MacOS up to a graphical desktop.
> Are the sponsor parts really so bad?

It depends. Some Creators get pretty creative with their sponsor blocks. JayzTwoCents comes to mind with his "iFixit" ad - it's hilarous every time it appears.
It’s unfair to consider electric bikes as most bike lanes are explicitly not designed for them.

Where do you get this information? Sure they can go faster, but most folks here are decent about things and they sure help going uphill. It means more people can use the bike lanes - notably, people without the strength to go uphill.

an 8 year old is not too young to travel on their own to limited places. If your bike lanes are actually safe, it is safe for them. And realistically, most places let actual children ride on the sidewalk.

Kids too large for a baby seat can generally sit in a pull-behind wagon.
Now you have a new set of problems: getting the compiler that consumes the bytecode not to crash. :)
I thought Finnish was categorised as "finno-ugric", which I understood to be a language group that included only Finnish, Magyar, and Basque. Perhaps my understanding is outdated.
Perhaps I'm missing something but is the summary of this whole incident that the most shared content on Facebook is not left wing and somehow Facebook should be ashamed of that and hide it?
Wait, how do you ensure that the lock version itself is safely written by two or more writers? Not to mention what happens if you read the version and in the time you decide to do a write someone else incremented the version.
Should it be surprising that in a world where you can look however you want, lots of people would not choose to look how the real world forces them to?

> > or have any pressure on your landlord to improve the property

> Not sure what you think that has to do with rent control?

With rent control, the owner may not be able to afford to do any maintenance (let alone improvements) if the tenant has been there long enough that the landlord is losing money every month. But also, the tenant knows they have a deal they can't replicate anywhere else so they have an incentive to never move out, even if the place falls in disrepair.

Without rent control, the tenant is free to move out if conditions are not acceptable and the landlord can afford to maintain the place.

But, not every rent control city is the same of course, details matter. In some cities maintenance or improvements are allowed to reflect in rent, in some places they don't. So it depends.
A recent example of videos disappearing is when Radio TV Hong Kong got a new, more pro-Beijing head. The “inflammatory” stuff first went down, followed by anything older than 1 year on YouTube as cover.
Thank you for your valuable feedback and questions.
Indeed some ETF are not showing although they are in the DB, needs checking.
- An entry box is something to add, thanks for pointing out.
- Real-time data from Tradier is costly. I was looking at IBKR and maybe I will switch to their API. But anyhow real-time is an overkill for now, maybe in the future.
- Yes for entering orders, I use Tastyworks. I first validate the opportunities with real time data and enter the trade on the Tastyworks platform.
- I actually made decent profits from selling Theta. The trick is to not overtrade and be ok if a week passes without making a trade.
But my main investing strategy is a Buy and hold on a world index.
Seconded, I tried to push harder on too many fronts and overloaded my brain/memory to the point of physical pain (if that makes sense)

Patience, sensitivity and regularity is my best bet now. Also, it's fairly well known that a lot of ideas and understanding comes outside/after workouts.

ps: this is also true in music (which blends physical and intellectual sides)
I once wrote a C++ client for a certain site because the official client was written in Delphi and used gigabytes of RAM. It used ed2k hashes and I wrote my own ed2k hash function (it's incredibly simple). That was in 2017. Any more hints would be dangerous ;)
$20B is enough for 1 foundry if you can find the people but the people at Intel do not make good hires because they don't know how to make state of the art chips at Intel anymore! Our only other domestic fab are the former IBM fabs owned by global foundries in East Fishkill New York but global foundries has given up on state of the art chips too!
Rust also allows for non-thread safe reference-counted objects (Rc<>) that don't have the overhead of atomic instructions for updating the reference count. And it's getting support for custom local allocators, addressing the overhead of malloc/free. Along with a bunch of further advantages compared to C++ shared_ptr (such as being able to dispense with a pointer indirection in some cases, and allowing for sub-borrows that don't even need a refcount update because they can't possibly affect the 'ownership' of the object).
Many years ago I was told about a British Post Office training film from the days when they were responsible for the telephone system.

A technician climbed a telegraph pole without proper equipment and wearing a ring. He and slipped and tore off the finger wearing the ring. The way it was described to me was horrific, the tendons were pulled out of his hand as well.

I've never seen it so I don't know for sure if it really was like that but the description alone was sufficient for me and I always remove my rings when doing anything like that.
Renters that leave can sell their keys or notify an okupa of the vacancy for a financial reward.
Sure, but the CDC is mostly talking about the United States and the world is a lot larger than that. People are still dying all over the globe from this in fairly high numbers. And in the developing part of the world we don't even really know the numbers at all, we only do for those places that have a reasonable infrastructure and where healthcare did not completely collapse.
Oh I supported lockdown measures when they were first introduced. Because I am not an idiot. But now that we have vaccinations available they are a better option when the virus is so widespread. The UK is also an island and we could have cut ourselves off from travel and kept the virus out bit an incompetent government meant that never happened. So the best solution now is vaccination for as much of the population as possible.

Australia has gone a bit nuts but it's hardly a police state and NZ has fared very well and is very definitely not an authoritarian police state.

Of everywhere NZ has had the best handling of the situation. Of course it had everything to do with their measures, stopping international travel was one of those measures, lockdowns were another.
Interesting. Also, I would like to test VR walks such as the one from Albarracín, but my GPU only supports GL 2.1.
> There was no reason to slow down

There was. The DOJ is the reason. A huge part of the setback was the morale hit inside the company.

Kinda like "what's the purpose of all this work? If we are successful in the way we want to be, they'll break us up"
> Applications that check and validate things automatically, even if it's hard and expensive.

Then you still need to be competent enough to to assess that this is the case. You can't judge code doing something correctly automatically if you don't even know what that thing is and can't do it yourself.
In the EU electric-assist bikes (which are the ones allowed in bike lanes) are limited at 25 km/h. Sporty normal bike commuters regularly are faster than people on them.
You mean the ones that RET 16? My computer person instincts tell me no, it's not those.
When I found myself spending 15+ minutes looking for content and not finding anything, I just cancelled.

I just don't see the value in Netflix anymore. Everyone has wisened up to the fact that creating your own streaming service is extremely important - especially when you consider ROI.

So what differentiates streaming services is the catalog. Netflix now have to compete on the quality of their originals. They have some good shows once in a while but the their lead is not groundbreaking at all anymore.
I've been a professional C++ programmer for 24 years now, and neither I, nor anyone I've worked with over this period, used this ridiculous style.
Which little headaches? Sounds like you are using hardware designed not for Linux if you have hardware problems.
Commercialization in that anything goes spirit, would results in Linux just becoming another carbon-copy of they Mac/Win flailing walled in garden ecosystems, everyone wants to escape from. The whole project lifes and breaths because it didn't open up to the parasites of decay. And now that these are squeezing there platforms to death, some people will even put up with homespun clonky UI.

GNU Linux was specifically developed, to escape the Softwarmageddon that is currently playing out in the other centralized eco-systems. To weaken that, would be to re-invite disaster. In my eyes, linux should ban commercial software like Teams from running, if there is a open source alternative. Chop of a limb if you want to survive the infection of end-stage-surveillance capitalism. Let the corpo-borgs eat one another.
Right. This is not just Mac OS, same thing can happen on Windows. Modern media DRMing sometimes involves bypassing your OS entirely[0]. Audio/video streams have special hardware paths through the CPU and GPU. HDCP uses encryption to create a safe pipe between the incoming stream and your monitor, so the data can't be snooped on or modified mid-flight. Etc.

[0] - Or at least almost entirely, I suspect at least the kernel must get involved somehow. Otherwise Widevine support wouldn't be an issue on Linux the way it is (or was).
I'm really glad you bring this argument, because it seems to me as it would be indeed the only "real" reason to have young people vaccinated..

Unfortunately, the recent news on that front don't bring much hope. Vaccinated people can be infected, and transmit the virus to elderly people (the rate at which they do being currently debated among specialist, some claiming it is much less, other claiming it is just as much as non-vaccinated asymptomatic people).
Perfect! I live for these moments.
