The unified-UI battle is long lost. Nowadays, I much prefer a sane style instead of whatever RAD design GNOME/Windows11/etc people have come up with....

IIRC, the compose key uses a limited set of old emojis. I've been using dmenu-wrappers for inserting emojis, like this one:

The points you mentioned are minor issues (I know, it adds up) but compare that to the alternatives: Discord, Slack, Element, Whatsapp...Mere starting up those apps and sending a `hi` to someone easily could take ~30 secs

Many times, the sluggish experience in Discord caused me to just ignore joining in my favorite servers and discussions.

Or long-distance transmission. I have no idea how much a multi-gigawatt HVDC line costs per kilometre, but the losses are within the realm of at least asking if it can be done — 3.5% per 1,000 km is (0.965^20) = 0.49 ~= 51% loss for 20,000 km, and the cells themselves are cheap enough these days that it’s still often economically viable even if you need twice as many cells.

(Obviously you don’t want to do antipodal HVDC until you need to, because even if the HVDC lines were free, pointless transmission losses are still pointless even if you can afford them).
The problem with Virgin is it is very hit and miss depending on area. Some areas are great, but others are overutilised and hit serious congestion at 'peak' times (which is really all day now with everyone WFH). They are upgrading the network though, but it always seems like a bit of a cat and mouse game.

Openreach based FTTC/FTTP doesn't suffer this problem as FTTC is point to point with no cotention, and FTTP technically could but with GPON you're sharing the bandwidth with maybe 32 other people, not hundreds/thousands in your area, so it's far less likely to get hit.
Here we see prices shooting up for rural towns as well. Covid re-introduced people to their homes, and some liked more space. Combine that with only having to be in the office 1-2 days a week and the commute is much less important.

Rural in the Netherlands means a commute of 1+ hr. by car instead of 20 min by bike, perhaps important for the perspective.
On the other hand, the green and black color scheme that The Matrix made super famous is entirely missing from that one.
Interesting notes:

> However, WhatsApp Ireland, which had previously set aside €77.5m for a possible fine

Right there. The cost of violations is priced in. Companies actually misbehave and simply accept a potential fine as a business expense.

> The company is also understood to feel that the fine is out of step with previous GDPR related fines.

It just sucks for our shareholders if the fine is higher than we expected.

> Sources close to the company, which is owned by Facebook, said rather than making its policy shorter and less complicated, the decision would mean it would have to add even more information to its already long and complicated privacy policy.

The lies, incredible. Just don’t collect data, then your privacy statement is very very simple. Only complicated agreements require complicated 5,000 word privacy declarations.
I will look into it. Sounds promising!
Considering the website is "Raidió Teilifís Éireann", I am actually glad the article is in English and not in Irish.
Of course you can build a GC in WebAssembly. You might have to avoid the native stack and lose some performance that way, but that shouldn’t be too bad I think.

One problem is that this GC doesn’t interact with the browser’s GC in any way. So you have painful memory management interactions when (for example) a DOM event handler references a WebAssembly object which in turn holds a reference to a browser object, possibly with cycles (so simple reference counting isn’t enough).

You can fall back to manual memory management here, but that’s painful to use. To make this work seamlessly, you need a way to trace references across both heaps in one swoop. Last I checked, there was standardization work underway to enable that.

The article title is "Having SARS-CoV-2 once confers much greater immunity than a vaccine".

By removing the *-CoV-2 bit I though this was about SARS-CoV-1(commonly referred to as SARS) infection giving immunity against SARS-CoV-2(commonly referred to as COVID-19).

AMD might bench higher in multi-threaded benchmarks, but Intel dominates in single core benchmarks because of the smarter silicon and higher clock speeds.

That makes them still faaaar more suitable to certain workloads... like Engineering, where most of the tools designed in MATLAB (ie Simulink) are still single threaded.

I recently upgraded from an i7-10750 to an i9-11950 and the different is very noticeable IRL even though most of the cores sit around doing nothing all day!
>The new system makes it possible for banks, tax authorities, insurers, and other finance firms to aggregate data of customers — who have provided their consent — to get better understanding about their potential customers, make informed decisions and ensure smoother transactions.

that's interesting. I am guessing Tax Authorities would mandate everyone to enable this. like they did with the Aadhaar-PAN linkage.

It might be their crappy DNS virgin is running. Had a big issue pulling big repos with git (TLS error) before I switched my DNS. Same with accessing certain websites when I had my vpn on. Ever since I got my eeros so I can set the dns network wide(virgin does not allow custom dns), no problems.
Ah this is also in general my preferred way of starting. It is just that now I feel that SPA is a different space than SSR and I think the different might be too big just to start off a project.

I did this with Elixir/Phoenix but somehow even if they are a different programming language some things were common with Ruby on Rails. With SPA I feel (as I don't know for sure) that it is too different than SSR.

No. Used to only buy Lenovo and then super fish happened and I haven't bought one since.

One important thing to note is that the DPC (Irish DPA) did not want to fine WhatsApp and only did so after being forced by other DPAs through the arbitration process.

You can consult the EDPB decision on that matter here: https://edpb.europa.eu/our-work-tools/our-documents/binding-...

EDIT: Max Schrems' reaction (NOYB):

>"We welcome the first decision by the Irish regulator. However, the DPC gets about ten thousand complaints per year since 2018 and this is the first major fine. The DPC also proposed an initial € 50 million fine and was forced by the other European data protection authorities to move towards € 225 million, which is still only 0.08% of the turnover of the Facebook Group. The GDPR foresees fines of up to 4% of the turnover. This shows how the DPC is still extremely dysfunctional."

Lab released, maybe. Lab created, seems unlikely, although the line between lab released and created gets blurry. Genetically engineered (rather than created via "husbandry"), seems very unlikely given that nobody has noticed anything to suggest that it might be. So either it isn't, or China has gotten so good at it that we can't tell when they do it, which is terrifying!
Yep. I didn't think I needed the always on screen, but once I upgraded checking the time is something I do all the...time.

The only thing that will attract is terrorists. No matter how remote, "dirty bombs" are a real threat. And in densely populated Europe, we don't have the luxury of such places at all.

> Thanks to climate change, brought on in part by anti-nuclear activists

Sorry, what? Climate change has been brought on by fossil fuel companies:

- 20 companies are responsible for a third of all historic emissions: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/oct/09/revealed...

- BP is the inventor of the "individual carbon footprint", inarguably one of the most devious PR campaigns that moved "responsibility" from the government to individual people so that the fossil fuel industry could make money without problems: https://mashable.com/feature/carbon-footprint-pr-campaign-sh...

- hotly contested, but fossil fuel companies may have had a hand in the decline of public transportation systems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_streetcar_consp...

- not to mention the countless "donations", bribes and other lobbying efforts from the industry to politics over the last 50 years that made sure that cars were prioritized and emissions controls weakened (the latter only ended with the Dieselgate scandal).
Let the people with virgin use a custom dns, like cloudflare or google, have solved many issues I had whilst under virgin.

These people were the government. If it's robbery when they do it it's robbery when the government does it.

Until the governments in question were able and willing to project the power necessary to take the Bedouin controlled territory by force it was their state. Regardless of what the .gov claimed on paper. The Bedouins were the government there in practice.
Yes, they should verify the information with their reader. But many wouldn't.
I'm Ukrainian, we've got a government app called Дія, that contains a digital copy of ID card, driver's license and some other documents. The document is presented in text+photo form (which is obviously easy to fake) and in form of a QR code that has a TTL of 3 minutes. Police is supposed to scan the QR code with the same app on their phone and that will load a copy of the document from government server, which is a way to properly verify the document.
Still, on my last interaction with police, they just took a picture of my phone screen. It would take a bit of time to train all personnel on using digital documents.

EVs are a tiny market in the US, smaller than e.g. the EV market in Germany (which has <20% of the US population) - I can't imagine this to be a big source of new grid load.

IMO a huge win-win situation would be enforcement of modern building techniques (proper insulation and/or thermal mass, double or triple glazed windows etc). That would enlarge qualitiy of living for the inhabitants, massively reduce energy consumption due to much less need for AC both in summer and winter. And buildings would probably last longer.

If enforced by law, this wouldn't even increase TCO of new buildings due to scale. That this isn't currently available in the US is essentially market failure: Small scale for modern construction means much higher prices than elsewhere, and better building quality currently is too esoteric to proportionally raise resale value.
"At this point most of the people who are avoiding the vaccine have already gotten natural immunity" And while they develop natural immunity, they remain in the population as people who can keep spreading it. Vaccines aren't 100% protection, we need as many people as possible to be vaccinated to actually get community transmission down.

One memorable time I was chatting to A&A on IRC whilst giving my mother mother-friendly translations and more detailed instructions over the phone. Excellent support, better than I've had professionally. The best part is that if you have a physical problem with the line they pester BT Openreach full time to fix it. Like, the job that you usually do trying to get an ISP to fix a problem. They write very detailed, technical emails to BT internally and copy you in. In my (mother's) case the issue was with someone plugging something in the wrong way around in the exchange.

Yes, they're more expensive, but you really do get what you pay for.
Um, insurance companies aren't going to care how expensive the thing being insured against is. Their individual customers might, but the basic idea of insurance is more about averaging costs out to be more predictable. They shouldn't have any exposure to general price levels, just to how variable things are.
" a grid that has enough capacity to distribute power across continents."

That's easy to write, but very hard to envision the scale. The grid transports very small fraction of the consumed power over large distances, most of the power gets consumed along the way. But what you are proposing involves transmitting all the power that a far away community consumes several time zones away

These "nano"-bubbles of fat were advertised as nano-particles. It was just this old doctor that wanted to be cool for once but it has become a grave mistake...

That said, I don't see the current concern in that regard. People believe they will be lied to when there are counter-indications for the efficiency, that side-effects won't be reported on, that they need to provide vaccination and medical passes. And to be honest, these fears are 100% valid. It is very likely there will be media blackouts about such issues. Especially if you know a bit about politics and how people build a profile. Safety sells better than sex in politics.

And the hysteria about misinformation isn't at all conductive for real scientific debate. On the contrary, it is far more disruptive than conspiracies of any form. The self-imposed defenders of science are fools in their approach to contain information.

While there are no cures yet, there was a political campaign against substances that helped, even if the benefit was small. This should be a scandal on its own.
It links docker's network through a linux/windows pipe to a process on your windows/mac host. So containers network packets don't get out from a virtual network adapter (that can be filtered out) but from a vpnkit.exe process on windows.
Using this, you are more compliant with strict corporate security rules and are less likely to be blocked by your VPN client, proxy firewall etc...
Oh gosh this happened to me with a 12" Macbook (2016). Had to pay hundreds to replace it after it cracked in the same way (very small crack from the middle-top of the screen, happened as I was sleeping), even when it was under warranty.
It smells more like internal corporate corruption than a deliberate top down policy.

Nonetheless corruption is tolerated from above for all manner of different reasons.

I'm pretty sure I've seen similar behavior at large, rich corporations where they've been milked via crappy contracts with shitty companies which have only an indirect effect on the bottom line.

NAT is essentially required in IPv4 due to IPv4 address exhaustion.

NAT, when done on the carrier level (CGNAT), more or less prevents external systems from initating connections with anything on your network (without ISP involvement). You can still initiate outgoing connections fine.

Sounds great for security,
but this enforces the existence of centralized services (middlemen) that you have to use/pay for if you want to have asynchronous communication with anyone that you might not necessarily initiate.

If you want a chance at a real decentralized Internet without dependency on tech giants, you're gonna need IPv6.

Yeah. Depending on the details of how you go about not paying your taxes I can see it happening. Heck, even if you pay your taxes the tax men might do it to you anyway if you do the kind of business they don't like they think you're unsympathetic enough and can get some political brownie points for screwing you[0](though thankfully this is very rare).

> There were/are states and actual laws

What makes them "actual laws". Surely the Bedouin have customs regarding the right and wrong amounts to charge, methods of payment, penalties for non-payment, etc, etc and those who work outside of those customs would be subject to penalty as a corrupt or rogue agent of the state would be in a "normal" state.
