Ah yes, the myth of immigration as both cultural enrichment and economically beneficial. I can tell you that at least in my own (Belgium) and neighboring country (Netherlands) this hasn't been the case.

The cost of immigration, especially from outside of the EU, is catastrophically high, and remains that way, even for 2nd or 3rd generation immigrants.
A paper studied the cost of immigration in the Netherlands to be around 400 billion euros between 1995 and 2019 (I can only find the paper in Dutch from the Renaissance institute, performed by several PhD / processors).
The people arriving here from outside of the EU are often unskilled, in certain cases illiterate, and come from a cultural and religious background which proves to be nearly impossible to integrate, let alone assimilate.

As a result, in Brussels and many cities all around western Europe, it's riddled with ghettos, people living outside of the system, in poverty, with ideas that aren't compatible with our society (about topics such as religion, rule of law, sexuality, equality and so on).
In my own neighborhood there are parts where as a woman you can't walk the street without a headscarf or you'll be harassed. And I'm not even suggesting what happens if you're openly gay in said streets.

Even multiple generations down the line the situation doesn't improve.

Why, in countries that are supposedly democratic, should mass immigration be the one thing that is shoved down our throats, without having any influence or say in it?

Side note: Belgium has a very flexible and generous social security system. We are known for providing unemployment benefits without any limit in duration, and with too little stimulus and followup, resulting in a lot of people simply exploiting the system. This is why immigration and the access to said system is a sensitive topic. We are also famous for having bungled the topic of integration for decades, resulting in people having lived here for ages and still not even speak the local language.
I actually founded /r/fortran as a joke because I thought nobody used it anymore, but it was later adopted by people who in fact use modern FORTRAN. Later I met someone who has a very good job programming in FORTRAN for a 20,000 CPU supercomputer which is used to simulate nuclear explosions. It is in fact a current, relevant language that has specific unique strengths.

I wasn't trying to suggest that the book of Revelation is the only reason to support the idea of privacy as a fundamental right. It is of course possible for people to support that right for many other good reasons.

However, I'm not sure if the "plainly stated text" of Revelation really has such a clear and unambiguous interpretation. Compare Revelation 19:16 which also talks about someone having a name written on them, which I don't think anyone would take literally, and they certainly wouldn't the previous verse where a sharp sword comes out of someone's mouth to strike down nations.

You may not find these interpretations helpful, but others do, and it's fine to see things differently. Also, you're right that Roman censuses would be well known to individuals living in the first century AD, as was the practice of branding slaves, so these would be natural analogies for the writer to use to convey spiritual truths, and perhaps more complicated as-yet-uninvented systems.
Are you saying the standard library is powerful enough for most things?

The problem with Baerbock's case is that Weber literally applied the same standard that would be relevant to academic work to her political statement book. Anybody who takes a look at Weber's examples of Baerbock's "plagiarism" sees that he's either an idiot or an useful paid idiot.

Also of note is that this seems to be a part of a larger anti-Baerbock campaign in the media, perhaps similar to the one Corbyn faced in the UK, where she is being disproportionately (compared to other politicians) and unfairly targeted. Take for example the issue with the resume mentioned by notanzaiiswear here, there were some really minor inaccuracies (on the level that it's necessary to argue about semantics to show that), and it was weaponized against her by the media.
Why do you think decentralized technologies still help people pirate software to this day while centralized services eventually gets shut down? The amount of trackers that has disappeared over the years is huge, and some of them quite sad as well. What.CD would be a famous example where we basically had a enormous backup of long lost music in the world. What.CD disappeared when French authorities managed to figure out where the servers were and got permission to raid them.

Same thing happened with TPB a couple of times, but amazingly it's still standing. We can only hope it remains so, but in the future we might not be as lucky. Not to say that plenty countries block access to TPB via having the ISPs block DNS/IP to known addresses.

All of these things wouldn't have been a problem if the search index was also decentralized.
This is a non-sequitur. I can "extoll how I wish the law worked" all day, and that says nothing about observing what actually happens.

Attacking "breathless techies" for discussing how they would like something to be, because observed outcomes are not this way, makes no sense what-so-ever.

You have no idea. Very few will take the time to explain this to you, understanding through long experience that people who need it explained are also unable to listen.
In fact, all living things form a category of self replicating machines.

Depending, your [highly optimized] self-replicator might have some stiff competition.
An AI isn't an individual, it should be compared to generations of experts working on a problem. If you could make an AI which works as a group of individuals with generations etc, it would still just be a single AI. And generations of experts basically don't make math mistakes, we have built our entire society on their works and it is extremely accurate

Modern stochastic AI couldn't get that sort of accuracy, at some point it would need to determine that a result X is true and eliminate all other possibilities, humanity did that so for AI to have human like power it needs to be able to do the same. That is extremely important since it now means that we can start to properly analyse results depending on X and see that everything which depends on X being false can't happen so we can ignore those, this helps humanity drive progress.
The fact that the Rust tokio version (the one that uses tokio tasks instead of threads) is slow is to be expected. tokio tasks aren't appropriate for running quicksort; they will have overhead compared to a regular threadpool because of I/O reactor, waker etc code that will never get used.

rayon or crossbeam are more appropriate since they are actually designed for general-purpose thread work. Using rayon's scopes will also get rid of the `unsafe` that's being (ab)used to create the fake `&'static mut` slices.

Though for some reason, the rayon version (rayon_qsort.rs) uses scopes, but still uses `unsafe` to create `&'static mut` slices... ( https://github.com/kprotty/zap/pull/3 )
You had a gigantic list of servers and didn't have to care if law enforcement managed to ban a few dozen? You could also search for anything shared by your peers. Major downside was that it wasn't curated and files tended to be shared under a dozen different names, so just because you think you were downloading Debian.iso didn't mean that it wasn't xXx_AnalCompilation5_xXx.avi, you had to check which name was the most frequent to be sure.
If you don't have that freedom, you're an employee, which is what this conflict is about. Because if they're an employee, their employer must pay social insurance. The self-employed are exempted from this insurance (although highly encouraged, because, not surprisingly, the vast majority of self-employed people don't become lucky billionaires). Uber wanted to have it both ways, and, not surprisingly, it can't. Self-employed people do whatever they like, including choosing the rides they drive for Uber.

Checked the power draw a couple years ago on reddit's new design, which was a huge increase from the old design. Should have written a paper with lots of clever words in it, could have been my first scientific contribution!

I didn't because this research has been done long ago and with rsa key operations, which are both more severe if you can capture it and much more difficult to measure. That you can see the difference between multi-megabyte JavaScript pages is a given at that point.
I would argue that it's a common misconception: the risk of doing something wrong when you're self managing every layer means you're opening yourself up to so much surface area that needs to be done with expert precision.

Obviously services are not some magic wand either, EG the recent Microsoft snafus. But they're a third-tier cloud player

I think Uber might be right here. EU labor laws protect a few but over a certain salary they are not very appealing. In Italy paying a net salary of 2,000 euros will cost the company 6000+. Things included like pension are not worth their cost, a private pension is better and cheaper, same for health services. It’s unfortunate but it’s true.
And yet nobody complained about this 10 years ago when Minecraft was all the rage?
Frameworks can be secured as far as their internal implementations go, but they can't stop you from exposing yourself to these vulnerabilities yourself. There's no shortcut to this -- you need to study common attack vectors in web protocols and web browsers.

In general, you're better off with popular, open-source frameworks that are still getting updates by a team of paid professionals (usually through corporate sponsorship). Strong, static types also help.

For a beginner, .NET 6 is a pretty good "batteries included" starting point that doesn't require as much caution when importing third-party libraries (as opposed to Node/npm).
I'm not familiar with the details of this topic, sorry. I believe PA did (or still does) publish guidelines for a 'safe' subset of the ALSA API.

Don't know if Pipewire has published something similar, but I would guess there are corner cases in the ALSA API that wouldn't work well on top of Pipewire. E.g. the buffer rewinding, considering that Pipewire is explicitly designed around never doing that.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience and as an American who lived in a few European cities I know what you mean, some neighborhoods are decidedly un-European, but I would partially blame that not on the immigrants but on policies that bring in so many at once. Of course there is no need to assimilate when there is a huge neighborhood of people just like you... imagine the driving culture if you brought a million Cairo cab drivers to Singapore? But if you bring 50 a year, they assimilate. That said, I'm pretty sure most economists (other than Borjas perhaps, whose seminal work on the Mariel boatlift seems critically flawed) would broadly disagree with you about the net economic benefits being negative and I would love if you could share that paper.

This always makes the rounds because it's funny how well it matches just... an average office environment. Are your coworkers spies?!?!

It seems to me that this war-era document might have been hastily created, and maybe they just asked 100 office workers: "What really grinds your gears". And then put the results in here without further analysis.

What's missing is some shred of evidence that the things it says to increase can be increased. Want more pointless meetings? You can't just do that. Maybe organizations are naturally resilient to more pointless meetings, having naturally reached a saturation point already.

I actually use mine. Generally stream music to something. However, you don't need to use it.

iOS does a lot of thing during charging. Face recognition, backups, mail checks, software updates, another applications' background stuff.

It might as well interact with your home or car over BT (cars have wireless charging these days). There's a myriad of opportunities there.
Vyper has safe math built in, so you wont get accidental over/underflows. but Solidity also has that now in the newer versions. so its really a preference if you prefer the python-like text.
Fe is also being developed, looks like it has been planned out a bit more than vyper.

But more likely we will see developments of security and proofs in languages like cairo, to be used on zkrollups, where we will also see alternative VMs to the EVM. So there will be lots of options with different tradeoffs between composability/security/efficiency/redundancy.

>I don't know how you can think this will introduce any more friction for low income people. You need an ID to drive. You may introduce friction for illegal immigrants and mentally handicapped homeless.

In the UK (where a requirement for voter ID has been proposed), research shows that up to 3.5 million citizens (7.5% of the electorate do not have a suitable photo ID)[0].

That's a lot of people to disenfranchise.

There's going to be a scheme where people can get a free photo ID from the local government for voting purposes, but it seems questionable whether people will choose to get that when so many don't get something like a driving licence or passport, which you seem to think is essential for people to function in society.

> Of course you can (if you want to), how do you think all of those 3rd party packages are built in the first place? Using NodeJS APIs of course, that you can also use if you want to.

Don't be obtuse, by that logic you don't need to use any third party package to write a professional app backed by database in node.js, just write your own MYSQL/Postgres driver? hey /s

My point is I shouldn't have to download a package or write a multipart request parser to manage files sent to a http server.

Someone made a profit out of that stupid situation with a terrible package manager, NPM, all by design.

Node.js creator himself said that relying on NPM was a terrible mistake, that's why he went on creating DENO.

I disagree. The "disinformation" is exaggerated. Many conspiracy theories turn out to be true after time. The problem is, there is a vocal group of people, who take the government/big corporation official stance as gospel, and anyone who even dares to question the status quo is branded as a harmful influence.
Minecraft has never had an (official) marketplace.

E: I'm wrong, apparently the spin-off versions of Minecraft have them. Java Minecraft (the original) never did.
Indeed, I was doing my best to be generous. Also tough to give proof regardless because member states seem to have different rules. This from an EU Gov on immigration statistics, "The EU’s asylum system remains undermined due to significant differences in recognition rates across EU countries. For example, in 2020 the recognition rate of Afghan citizens at first instance ranged from 1% in Bulgaria to 93% in Italy."

Generally speaking, worst case scenario notwithstanding, adults should get vaccinated (1) for their own good. OTOH, part of being adult in a free society is making choices for oneself, good or bad. We have plenty of bad choices leading to heavy costs in the medical system. Obesity and intense end-of-life procedures (that doctors themselves eschew by a large margin) come to mind. Or skiing, or riding a motorcycle down the freeway. Or sexual promiscuity. Sadly, some of these choices strongly overlap with susceptibility to covid (2). Do we really want to open the can of worms of blaming individual patients for overall medical system costs? That's a heavy load.

The nurse enters the ER triage room. 'Smoker? Exercise 2 hours a day? Fast food in the past 2 weeks? Drink beer? BMI over 30? Diabetes? Below average safe driver? Cardiac problems in the family?'. God forbid you tick the wrong answer on any of these questions, you are now an undesirable straining the hospital system and we should righteously kick you to the curb to squirm in your earned misery. The 'preexisting conditions' rubric in American medical system is already dark, not sure we want to push harder in the wrong direction.

Most of us are in favor of helping those in need. See the push for single payer health care system. Maybe there is hope.

(1) Hoping for traditional vaccines, to mitigate the monoculture problem. E.g. https://www.novavax.com/covid-19-coronavirus-vaccine-candida....

(2) Cue in the 'obesity is not a choice' crowd. Whatever we think the causes are, it was an order of magnitude less of a problem 50 years ago, and I know for a fact that I often have a poor diet and I am unable to incorporate enough physical movement in my own daily routine. So there.

PS. As you are reaching for the flamethrower, try save a bit of that energy to craft a 'getting vaccinated is good for you and your loved ones' message coming from a place of care and not smug vindictive superiority. <3

One serious suggestion is a limited amount of gifts to be given over a lifetime tax free. Once youve used up that amount, the person/corporation recieving the money gets taxed on it.

I think we will see more work like this, and tools developed to help. but really it comes down to tradeoffs of speed and security, what cant be insured, and the impact of bugs.

One could even argue that the "West" benefited for centuries from the blood and resources of others, and the only reason why they afford today to talk about climate change and fair trade is their plundering past. At the same time, the poorer countries just do whatever they need to survive and develop. One could even call this type of activism callous and think the only reason the "West" has for pushing this agenda is to ensure there are still poor people from whom to steal in the future.

When someone doesn't have food to put on the table they tend to care less about green living, clean energy, etc.
Spaces? The scripts used for the oldest versions of biblical writings didn't have vowels either.

Black holes found to exert a pressure on their environment
Space launches account for negligible amount of the CO2 emissions at present time compared to the total that our society emits.

There is obviously the very strong likelyhood that number of launches will continue to grow, to a point where this will become a major issue.

There is however a financial incentive to lower the fuel consumption as much as possible in these rockets, which I believe will push these companies to do so. But only to a degree.

Hopefully human kind will be able to use something akin to mass drivers or a space based gravity hook to launch loads without exhaust in the future.

But in the meantime we will need to emit something.
