Again, it seems like you're basically agreeing with the trappings of argument. I am talking specifically about eradicating SARS-COV-2, not eliminating a virus in abstract. It's obvious that there are some viruses we are able to eradicate, but it is also obvious that there are some we are not.

The rest of your comment is punching ghosts. Keep in mind that most people are not rational, and empathizing with irrational people is a more effective method of influence than scorn.

Let’s not deal in absolutes. Money can’t absolutely fix everything, but in case I need money I would rather have it then don’t.
Is

char* c_foo(char* bar) { ... }

simpler than

fn rust_foo<'a>(bar: &'a str) -> &'a str { ... }

?

On the one hand, c_foo is shorter and doesn't use strange symbols. On the other hand, rust_foo doesn't leave you guessing on whether the returned value needs to be free()d or not, and whether the heap allocation backing `bar` can be free()d after the call or not.

> The BBC, as with any other government-controlled revenue source

Point of fact, the BBC was not intended to be "government-controlled", and it is not a "revenue source" for the UK government.

> News should not be entertainment. News should not be for profit.

But why?

If "news" isn't profitable or entertaining (and FWIW I agree those shouldn't be preconditions for quality news), then it will have to be subsidized by someone. Who will do that? What is their reason for putting up that money? And - most importantly - who decides whether the end product is "good enough", and what changes can they demand for the subsidy to continue?
Why would the government care to have you banned from Twitter?
Just today I paid for access to a data tool, icy.tools. I simply connected my Metamask wallet, clicked on “Unlock premium”, confirmed the transaction, and it was done.

Normally, I’d have to make an account (and doge the obligatory “sign up with Google” button), fill a form, enter my credit card info, confirm my otp on the payment site, check my email for an authentication link before using the product.

Along the way, I would have to share my data with multiple third parties - the SaaS tool, my email provider, my credit card company, etc.

With this web3 approach, I don’t have to share this data with anyone. I don’t have to fill out forms. In fact, if I got my Ethereum from a P2P source, I can be completely anonymous.

At this point in the internet, if you can avoid giving Google et al your data, its an absolute win.
What can I say. The report and remedial actions pretty much agree with what I’ve said. So those who are in charge of public safety are taking a very different stance to you.

Guess we’re all screwed, probably explains why air travel has such an atrocious safety record compared to other forms of transport.
"Germany says" nothing. The BKA (~FBI) dealt with Pegasus and the digital comittee chairman (legislative, not even part of the executive branch) critizised Apple.

So, in summary: Two people contradict each other. So what? Isn't this normal?

I feel this headline is just clickbait to make up a connection to apple while painting the criticism as hypocritical.
The challenge the BBC faces is one that all public service broadcasters face across Europe. Although they cannot compete with the enormous budgets of streaming services, that doesn't mean they can't make programmes the public want to watch and which can be popular. And not every series needs a huge budget to succeed. Co-productions are common throughout the industry and a lot of BBC content ends up on Amazon and Netflix.

For those not familiar with the BBC outside the UK, the variety and scope of content they produce is simply massive. Some argue too much.

It's not just big-name TV shows though - there are national radio stations covering music and speech, a further 40+ regional radio stations and the BBC World Service.

They fund 5 orchestras, produce the biggest classical music festival in the world (BBC Proms), also support UK artists to get exposure with their BBC Music Introducing scheme.

Children's TV programmes are free of commercial influence and ad-free. Educational materials cover the entire UK school curriculum and are extensive. (Remember the recent bbc micro:bit project to get kids coding? Only the BBC would have taken the initiative).

The entire BBC website is completely ad-free for everyone in the UK (not ad-free outside the UK though).

The list goes on...

There are lots of things I dislike about the BBC, particularly their domestic news output. I hate the 'dumbing down' of some documentaries. But I think we in the UK would be worse off without the BBC despite all it's faults.

Liquid detergent often contains varying amounts of KOH which is about as good as it gets in terms of cleaning power that won't also destroy dishes(NaOH). They can't put KOH in dry detergent so it's made with less effective chemicals that are better at staying in a powdered form without clumping.

Mastodon provides you with a 'federated timeline'. Basically your feed is a list of all posts the instance your account is on knows about, based on what the instance owners have configured. So you see all the posts directly from users in your instance, made on your instance, and also posts from other users in your subset of the fediverse, determined by what other instances your instance peers with. You can interact with users from other instances by referencing their handle and instance. So instead of @bob it would be more like @bob@xyz where xyz is the instance. You can follow a user from a different instance. Oddly, even though you can filter your federated timeline to your local instance, you cannot filter it to any other specific instance - for that you would need to create an account on that instance and view its local timeline. So basically it gives you a broader audience and user community than just your specific instance.

Some useful links that explain it further:

Yes and:

Tesla is integrating vertically, like mining lithium. Both as hedge against supply disruptions and to squeeze efficiency.

Also copying Apple's monopsony playbook. Tesla bought booked the production of "gigacasting" gear. Just like Apple bought all the CNC machines (for making unibody cases) and miniature harddrives (for iPod) and... So competitors can't emulate, even if they wanted to and had the capital.
This is where grad school shines for this sort of stuff. You have mentorship that can steer you along toward doing something relevant and making a worthy contribution that wouldn't be a wasted exercise on your part.

If you come in off the cuff thinking "Proofs need fixed," you are probably going to end up reinventing the wheel at best since you lack any context to what has already been done in the field.
Me too.

> To me it's the clear choice if I'm going to rewrite an old C project since I can mostly just copy paste the old code and it runs

With the new ImportC feature you can literally copy-paste the code and reference your C types from D directly with a mixed compilation.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27872596

https://dlang.org/spec/importc.html

Quoting Walter from the thread linked above on it's purpose/reasons (which I think ought to go somewhere official tbh, since that brief discussion in the above thread is the best + most succinct overview of it currently AFAIK)

The reasons for ImportC are:

1. It's no longer necessary to translate .h files to D to interface with C. While doing the translations isn't hard, it is tedious, and if there are a lot of .h files it becomes a barrier.

2. .h files get updated over time, and correspondingly updating the D files is error prone. It's much more effective to just compile the new .h files.

3. It is not necessary to even create a .h file - just compile the .c file with ImportC and D will access it just like any other module. D will even inline the C functions in it.

4. Use it as a standalone, small and fast, C compiler.
Ex Corrola and Celica owner, and ex Toyota fanboy. I was on the market and considering a Supra once the car craze would settle. After seeing all the lobby money against right to repair, trying slowing down Tesla with congress and all, I decided I would not contribute to a brand that used to be a leader in quality and innovation, but now acts as a desperate trainwreck and instead of focussing on improving seriously, they are playing games with numbers (and not being any better than Bezos with SpaceX on the political side) Shame.

Must hurt them bad having sold those TSLA shares when they were worth a fraction of today’s price.

I hope they bounce back, drop the attitude and become competitive again. They made the mistake of being overconfident without acknowledging the competition or (ex) partners, clean competition is always good. Especially in this segment for our planet’s sake.

It is fine that you do not like comic book shows. I find most of them cheese too, but evidentially lots of people disagree and they want the most possible for their money too.

Personally I don't think the BBC should produce entertainment at all, only scrupulously neutral news and explanations because that is what society needs if it is to be held together.

You're entirely right, and yet I think there's still a place for it.

It all depends on what you want to use it for. For my use case, I built a feed reader that just needs to know the titles, URLS, and publication dates of articles. That let me build an RSS/Atom reader that lets me curate my own news feeds and delegates everything else to the normal browser.

Are there inconsistencies and broken feeds? Sure a few, but for my purposes, I can ignore 99% of that. Is it wasteful? Sure, it. could be more efficient, but honestly downloading React and a hundred dependencies every time I visit a webpage is as well.

Fear not though, many sites built with tools like Gatsby aren't including RSS feeds, so your wishes may still come true.

That's usually the wrong question, as people only make greenfield decisions once.

If, however, you've been running GHE for years and have it integrated with other tooling and workflows, and your developers understand it, the question is,

"Why would anyone rip all that out, replace it, reintegrate it and retrain everyone over a handful of features, most of which you don't care about?"

I asked "How so?" and, rather than offer any answer at all, you've replied by jabbering about the blockchain again.

The closest to an answer is perhaps "So ENS isn't part of the solution then?" which I suppose hints that you believe somehow if everybody pays hundreds of dollars to some third party (sorry, for the "gas" to power an otherwise "free" transaction like a "free" gift that asks for $25 postage and packing...) this will somehow cure an unrelated problem. But who knows, since you didn't explain it.

I'm a little confused by the framing of this article, because LAPD actually can't demand the social media information of everyone they stop. They can ask, and it is problematic that they do since many of the people they stop won't realize that they can simply decline, but the police have basically no authority in the general case to require it.

Without individualized suspicion, the police can barely even ask for ID. They've lost cases over it. Even with suspicion, it's unlikely that they can forcefully demand social media information. (They can, with sufficient evidence, arrest you and conduct a search of your person to try to uncover it, but arrests are a big deal; they can't dragnet arrest.)

With that in mind, I assume the productive article to write here is the one framed around informing people that they shouldn't cooperate with requests like these.
Treating "Germany" as one monolithic entity that can thereby be accused of hypocrisy, is a childish oversimplification.

Nations are composed of myriads of groups, people, interests - some support gov't surveillance, and some who don't.

In this case, Bundestag's Digital Agenda committee chairman, declared Apple to be on a "dangerous path", whereas the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) purchased access to NSO Group's Pegasus spyware.

It is no more surprising to see these two units taking opposite positions than if we were to learn that Donald Trump and Joe Biden had opposite views on some topic.

The title and conclusion of this article is uninteresting.

We used Tutum before it was acquired by Docker and turned into Docker Cloud. Whilst it probably would never have scaled to our complexity needs indefinitely as we grew, it was very clear that as soon as it was purchased the product stopped going in a positive direction.

The only changes that they really rolled out were replacing the older, perfectly functional UI with something superficially shinier but much, much harder to use.

Not only was it just hard to see what you wanted to see once they'd halved the information density and got rid of any visual hierarchy, you had absolutely crazy things like a slider for the number of instances of a service that would instantly apply with no confirmation and, even crazier, responded to the scroll wheel. We once doubled our number of production pods and didn't notice for a few hours, because someone scrolled up the page and their cursor went over the slider. Lucky they weren't scrolling the other way.

Anyway, I lost a lot of trust in Docker as an organisation that knows what people value about their products as a part of that.
This is either war or war crimes depending on what exactly happened.

There seems to be a trend of calling every terrifying event “terrorism.” People sometimes colloquially refer to even non-political mass shootings as terrorism.

I believe it’s important to separate different types of mass violence. For example a gang-related mass shooting might be de-escalated by a mediator engaging the belligerents, whereas a war crime should be sent to international criminal court and a terrorist should be dealt with in a manner to minimize the earned media attention.
I'm not American, but wasn't the US government itself a non-partisan entity prior to and in the period immediately after independence? Either way, I get that they're regulated in theory as part of the public sphere but that's not the point I'm getting at, the point I'm getting at that in practice these parties often behave as vehicles for private (and often fairly elitist) interests and as a result I think their useful functions should be carried out more directly by democratic parliaments where they can be scrutinised more transparently.

Yes, I bought Industries of Titan day 1 on epic games store because the game director is an old acquaintance ;)

Agreeing with sibling comment. This works for some games, but not others. The examples you mention are based around a core gameplay loop that was refined and expanded over years. Specifically, there isn't anything lost by playing it early.

Some of my favorite games took a long time, weren't early access, but I'm really glad for it. Fez took 5 years, The Witness took 7, The Outer Wilds took 7 (with caveats, started as a student project that was released, but wasn't iterated on in public afterwords). They're all giant puzzle boxes that are intricately assembled into something that requires the whole to be present to really work. Plus it's all about understanding the game, so there's no reason to go back and play it again if, eg, they did a final art pass.

There are plenty of other games that take forever in early access. So early access or not doesn't really change whether people get things done quickly, and often can lead to the opposite problem where they utterly fail to make meaningful progress to something that's "complete". (Yes, I'm looking at you, Star Citizen) It's totally fine if that works for the game and they get it done. My general rule these days is only buy it in early access if what you get today is enough to make you happy.
I was thinking the opposite. If taking off my shoes results in a 0.0001% decrease in the chance of a plane blowing up, then why not? It's not really inconvenient. Same with masking. It's not inconvenient so why not? Even if it's all theater, theater has some value.
Remember that airport security was not the only thing that changed. When they note that there have been fewer incidents, etc., we have to factor in things like reinforced cockpit doors, crew retraining, etc. and not just whatever procedures pass for “security” at the airport.

I am also a bit skeptical that the much more complex new scanning machines are actually more effective at catching things than metal detectors.

Meanwhile, we have to acknowledge the serious threats introduced by inefficient processes. The one that scares me is the unbelievable crowd sizes that now form at virtually every major airport. There is simply nothing secure about a giant crowd and it is ridiculous when the insecure crowd exists because of “security”!
