Trademarks are limited to categories. For example, Delta airlines won't get sued by Delta fans, and the Delta variant can continue to infect people without being sued by any or these two.

But when it comes to Affinity, it is not completely baseless, a trademark troll and a coronavirus can both apply to the "plague" category.

Sorry to grave dig. This is more recent but, check out this quote... and tell me you want to live in this kind of society:

“ The state will text them at random times, and thereafter they will have 15 minutes to take a picture of their face in the location where they are supposed to be. Should they fail, the local police department will be sent to follow up in person. “We don’t tell them how often or when, on a random basis they have to reply within 15 minutes,””

Our helpdesk will recommend Devs to switch to canonical multipass + podman on their mac dev machines, away from Docker Desktop for mac. Currently, the helpdesk is whipping up a provisioning package that includes scripts that make docker CLI and docker-compose work from the host system just as before (shimming & proxying to VM commands/tools).

Windows users will just use WSL2.
To me, it seems like going up a layer in biological "abstraction"...
In actual practice... ractors are kind of still new experimental technology, that are hard to use if you are using any existing gem code.

And fibers are not new, but also can be hard to use and aren't super popular in general use.

So the practical answer is you probably won't use either. :)

But one way to explain the difference is that fibers are basically for cooperative/evented concurrency, while ractors are a new invention that are more like (OS native) threads but without shared memory.
Funny, 30% is also about how much larger the Yamato was than the Iowa class. But it turned out larger battleships weren't the deciding factor that time. Who knows whether larger carriers will matter for winning the next war?

“The US has also launched biological warfare, cyber warfare and public opinion against China.”

This is quite some projection. China's role in the virus/biowarfare will never be affirmed with certainty due to their information suppression; however their cyber warfare and public opinion efforts are at full throttle.

If you look at any major news website, YouTube, Reddit, Slashdot, Facebook, Twitter, etc, the paid "shills" and "useful idiots" touting pro-Chinese, anti-America propaganda are everywhere. If you don't think you see it, the common talking points repeated are:

1) Amerikkka is full of white supremacists - this is an effort to change public opinion and have people believe that everyone in America is racist and hates Chinese people.

2) Nothing is happening in Xinjiang.

3) COVID disinformation in the forms of 'it started in Fort Detrick', disparaging Pfizer/Moderna/vaccines, etc.

4) The Imperialist/Colonial America is responsible for all the bad things.

5) Without Capitalism, the world would be a perfect place.

> We don’t hold gun manufacturers or alcohol companies liable when people do stupid things with their products

I believe we would if the gun design meant it could fire when it wasn't supposed to or if random batches of the alcohol contained a toxic chemical but was label warning the consumer that it was up to them to figure out if the bottle they want to consume was safe.

There's a big difference between users "do[ing] something stupid" and manufacturers "making something that puts unreasonable demands on the user to ensure safety."
Think of the most totalitarian and liberal times of the Soviet Union. The former is associated with the infallibility and seemingly permanent durability of the state, and the latter with Ronald Reagan and people dancing on the rubble of the Berlin Wall.
It's not intuitive, but it was easy to implement :) There are a lot of things in Unix and Unix shell like that.

I learned that parsing here docs is another one of them! It's a weird syntax, and I came up with something clever for parsing it. And then I realized there is a simple algorithm that kind of "falls out" of the AST.

The famous "worse is better" essay on Unix talks about implementation simplicity vs. interface simplicity. Unix favors implementation simplicity!

>The attack from the left is harder to grasp, partly because in America “liberal” has come to include an illiberal left.

I had been one of the illiberal progressive in the past. I feel the illiberalness comes from a sense of danger. It had felt like the world was turning upside down, and I was morally obligated to fight for happiness and safety. A very Hobbesian "a war of all against all" feeling.

I got out of the hole only when I realized that sustainable happiness can be attained without sacrificing others. It was really a big, life changing recognition.
History teaches us that things like that can be either a reaction to some growing internal tensions, or this is done in preparation for a war. (The latter, of course, would be to the huge detriment to China's economy, which, despite the burgeoning internal market, is deeply entangled with the international one.)
Second this. Ben Rich was a really interesting guy and the first quarter just on the development of Have Blue is a great R&D story.
As a recent hire to the Space Telescope Science Institute which produces the software packages used to process and analyze Hubble (and soon Webb and Roman) imagery, I'd be happy to answer any questions on the topic to the best of my ability. I'm more on the DevOps side so it will be an opportunity for me to learn more about it too!
I had a similar experience in Salzburg in the first few days after the first Iraq War started.

Lots an anti-American banners, a few even hung on churches. Couldn't get a table at a restaurant anywhere, tipped off by my accent, I expect. Lots of ugly talk from the tour guide before he finally decided he didn't want to take money from Americans anymore and kicked me and my wife out of the tour group.

Took my wife and my money back to Vienna, flew out, and never went to Austria again.
If you visit the Roman Baths here in Bath they have a load of lead tablets that were thrown into the water as prayers/requests to the gods/curses, I love how like an angry facebook complaint some of them are.

I'm alway hugely sceptical of claims that technology creates human behviour. Human nature seems to be remarkably consistent in many ways, technology just seems to provide outlets for it. People complain about performative desplays on Facebook/Insta/Twitter, but it's no different from people in the 70s inviting their friends round to show them a slide-show of their holiday photos. Instagram didn't create narcessism, it just made it much more visible.
It seems to be fairly complex. I hope we don't go down the path of building biological-artificial computers though.
The whole pushback and anger caused is the wholly illogical singular condition of being vaccinated vs. being COVID recovered or even better option - even safer than vaccination is recent negative COVID test result - which would catch if vaccinated or unvaccinated had COVID and were likely to spread it. It's this nonsense that's rightfully instilling fear in people, and at least in Canada Justin Trudeau is pandering to and rallying an ideological mob by stirring up for unvaccinated - and keeping message very ideological without nuance or critical thinking to highlight such absurdities with a vaccine passport vs. doing a safer and more inclusive version say called a safety pass - which would 100% keep people safer.
I think you misunderstood me. By radical I don't mean criminals. I mean people who go to extreme but legal tactics to promote their cause, as you point out, they use intimidating tactics. Personally, I think this works against them. Just like shouting and intimidating people works against antifa.

Non radical anti abortionists are most moms and dads who prefer not to abort but don't go out there and agitate.

Yes, neither is Canada. In our case we're still inexorably bound to the US's interests and there's not much to do, really. It's not a measuring contest here. It's dealing with the new realities. The UK is not as nearly bound to the USA. If they wish to retain autonomy, security, and also influence in the 21st century despite their small stature, they may need a new strategy if the sun is setting on their closest ally's empire. Especially if said ally is prone to fits like recently happened regarding their dependability. (I still can't fathom why the the UK would choose to leave the EU at this delicate point where mid-sized democratic powers need every friend they can get.)
In that case let's get rid of the term 'digital' then, since analogue must clearly and fully describe all the phenomenon.

I'd like to say imho that Fluttter seams to have the reverse issue from react-native in that it isn't tuned for website rendering. Since Flutter has to redraw it's canvas for animations and user interactions, it can be slow for websites where the browser window is fairly large.
To be fair, if China spent several weeks bombing a country that the US did not want it to bomb and, as part of that bombing, China bombed the US embassy there and then said that it had been an accident, I think that this incident would be well remembered in the US 20 years later and many people in the US would doubt whether it had really been an accident.
As "Technologist" I hate that we are so quick to dismiss solid, reliable technology in favour of the latest and greatest.
I assume they are bringing cameras to take pictures out of the dome window? I'm looking forward to seeing how those come out.
Low observable technology is more relevant than ever. It's not magic invisibility but greatly reduces the range at which sensors can detect and track.

Microphones can't be placed at sea, and the speed of sound makes effective microphone range very short. Regular cameras are also short ranged, and don't really work at night or through clouds. IR search sensors have very narrow field of view. In any major conflict the reconnaissance satellites will be the first targets.
On the surface, standing alone, its not at all clear that that’s the intended implication (reading more of the posters comment history, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was, though); it’s also the kind of thing the strident voices on the US Right with little self-awareness might say with a straight face about a Chinese official making that statement, though.

Check the amazon ads api. They allow for updating keyword bids in bulk for example. You can send between 1-1000 results and you get back an HTTP 207

I've also seen this done async. You send a request, get back a 202 with an ID, and then poll another endpoint with the ID for the result.
And generally you design failsafes and interlocks to prevent them from being applied outside the designed flight envelope. Especially when the consequence is “the vehicle breaks up in 4s”
If your company makes it difficult for you to cut your association with it, hundreds of developers don’t have to pay a 30% fee. All Im saying is its a user convenience , and zero value to even ethical developers.

Fun fact, when they use the NATO alphabet (which predates the airline…) they use Dixie instead to avoid confusion at Delta-heavy airports.

Depends on the UI/UX. An oil indicator light doesn't warn about impending low oil, it tells you your oil is too low. An RPM dial does the same. Other indicators warn of impending issues; stall warnings, wear indicators on tires etc.

For an aircraft/spacecraft, red indicators should be used to inform the user to the most critical factors; stall warnings, fuel state warnings etc. And most importantly, the user should be able to act on these warnings, otherwise they're just too much noise and not enough signal.
They are simply realizing their true potential as a prison island.

Not as reliable as you'd like, especially at sea. Satellites are either Geosynchronous (aka: the US Navy knows where they are and knows where to avoid them), or they are not Geosynchronous (aka: they only are over a certain area at certain times).

Again: your Satellite feed goes dead for just 10 minutes, the Carrier is now 6-miles away (113-square mile search area), with no guarantee that the new area is covered by a satellite either.
I'd also add that public transport in Norway is excellent.
Trade war comes to mind among other things (attempted Wechat/Tiktok ban, attempted Chinese investment ban, etc). Many of his ideas were shot down and DOA. Were they the right solutions? I have no idea. Were they stupid solutions? Maybe, but the important thing was his administration was explicit and made it publicly known China was more than just an adversary.
No, not really, they're pretty quick with the ban hammer against heathens and communists.

I assume you're referring the United States - it's worth noting that the well-armed states like Texas and Florida have rejected draconian restrictions while mostly disarmed states like California and New York might as well be Australia.

Public transport in Norway is so good that there is less need for car ownership.

It’s a trade-off:

> In return for trading away their liberty, Australians gained a huge safety dividend. COVID-19 has killed 194 of every 100,000 Americans, 77 of every 100,000 Israelis, and only four of every 100,000 Australians. That low death toll is a tremendous upside. What remains to be seen is whether Australia can maintain that performance without permanently ending core attributes of life in a liberal democracy, including freedom of movement, peaceable assembly, and basic privacy.

We’re still in the middle of this. If we could have nice things, these restrictions wouldn’t need to be enforced. We’ll have to see what happens once the country is adequately vaccinated.

Is PBS not a non-profit? Because they'll give me perks for donating certain levels but won't give them to me if I don't donate at certain levels.

There are plenty of non-profits that give similar benefits if you donate. Even a local garden near me that is a non-profit won't let me enter unless I give a donation. I just don't see the difference here.
I was reading your comment, this part:

"but data on which endpoints are the source of most of that bandwidth usage on the basis they may be pirate IPTV sources, partliularly when they spring up at a similar time to a big event starting"

Which sounds like a correlation to me. "Source of most that bandwidth...when they spring up at a similar time"
Each US Supercarrier has two runways and four catapults. That's why they weigh so much.

Tonnage isn't the only factor. But presumably, having two runways on one carrier is a key advantage in carrier based combat. If you can launch aircraft faster than the opponent, you'll get more aircraft in the air before they can.

Can China's 3x aircraft carriers launch as many airplanes as one of our supercarriers? How many Chinese aircraft need to launch to have a chance against an F35C?

This. They were politically or philosophically unwilling to push back against these measures. They were spineless and didn't use the tools of voting, discourse, or protest that are how change is brought in modern society. Instead, they accepted these measures as necessary myopically without thinking about how they could be abused. They were far too trusting and completely disarmed of healthy skepticism.

So, I agree. Disarmed. Guns (which I assume you were talking about) would not have changed anything in a mentally-permissive environment in which these laws were not protested. You need a spine first, and a tool second, and a gun last.

That all sounds good on paper, but it sounds like very few people in China actually care. As you've alluded to, Chinese youth are literally so disconnected from their nationalist rhetoric that they choose to lay down, doing nothing as opposed to anything culturally enriching. It's a symbol that their culture is approaching a boiling point, perhaps one where the aging population is drastically more nationalist than their younger replacements.
The Nordic countries aren't all the same and most people are not driven by a desire to maximize their salary. I have had lots and lots of colleagues who were immigrants so attracting foreign talent is not the issue. Not everyone want to live in Sweden because it is cold and people can be unfriendly. Low salaries is very low on peoples' list of complaints.

I think the way things are headed, our governments have decided that freedom is obsolete. It is incompatible with preventing climate change. In the next couple of years, I predict a system will be brought in where all consumption will be need based regardless of income in order to prevent excess carbon emissions.

This requires that there is no ownership of property and each person's consumption is carefully metered. "In the future you will own nothing and you will be happy", as the WEF has been saying. Adjustments can be made based on compliance (e.g social credit score). The first stage of this is lockdown until consumption is reduced to targeted levels via the ruse of insanely disproportionate coronavirus restrictions. After the vaccine passports are fully implemented, the system and its AI god can go to work rationing just enough to you to live.

This is all pretty out in the open, they are just lying about how excited the world is to unconditionally embrace sustainability and equality of consumption as a guiding principle for all human activity. : https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/09/klaus-schwab-christin...
