This kind of hyper-partisanship is what is destroying the media. The left turned on Glenn because he was no longer willing to just throw punches at the other side - he was willing to call out his own side as well, and if that mean talking to (gasp!) folks on the other side, well, that's what he'd do.

It's not that Glenn changed what he always did, it's just that you didn't like who was in his spotlight.
Germany: hold my beer! 1.78€ or $2.09

Remember, it was the Lancet that carried Daszak's Wuhan lab leak coverup. And it's reported that multiple other "reputable" scientific journals fell in line like good comrades. Biggest coverup in world history.
As a person residing in France, that's alien to me. We've had government regulations for ISP choice for almost two decades now. I'm very critical of them because they're actually not enforced (still very hard/impossible for smaller non-profit ISPs to use big corp fiber despite the law saying so), but at least they enable me to choose whatever xDSL provider i'd like, or even start my own for somewhat-reasonable prices.

That makes sense, thanks! The dispute isn't resolved yet, easy to understand. I assume if Epic accepted the court ruling then Apple would be forced to comply?

Not to dismiss his achievement, but, why do people always think programming in assembly is ultra hard? This was just how we wrote games back in the day. I still know people using Assembly for a wide range of development, it's not particularly harder than any other programming. A bit tedious, yes, but with FASM and Fresh it's a lot better.
I'm wondering how people would react to eating "lab grown human" flesh ... Kinda freaks me out, but also kinda curious.
I guess when you use RAD Studio, it's probably better to go "all in" and use the Delphi language too. I tried C++ Builder once while I was working with Delphi, hoping it will be faster than Visual C++. Little did I know that the slow compile times are "baked in" into C/C++ family languages in ways that are hard to get around, so I was disappointed and went right back to Delphi. The Delphi language is (conceptually, not syntactically) not that different from other classical OO languages like C++ or Java, although it (thankfully in my opinion) doesn't have as many bells and whistles. But of course if you have lots of legacy code in C++ Builder, switching is probably not an option...
> They are meant to be narrow and to the point, not didactic

And that's understandable, but I believe some are crossing a thin line between "this is not the place where you should be learning about the technicalities of this option" and "this was added for some obscure and undocumented reason and nobody will really know for sure why it's useful".

And I personally thank you for it; it's much better some documentation, even if IMHO a bit too short on details, than no docs at all... and writing proper docs is hard, I know it very well from the project I'm maintainer of! :)
It pains me that there can never ever be an online discussion about Pakistan without our neighbors derailing it.

Can’t comment on its performance, the customs of the country I’m in now have determined that air quality monitoring equipment cannot be imported for personal use.

Also, took note of a recent article[0] by Jeff Geerling. It’s relying on AirGradient’s sensor.

Not really. Safetynet runs on Google servers and communicate with your banks servers (if they have that enabled). If a modded app removes these checks, the bank will notice because they ask Google whether your device fulfills all requirements.

> CORBA

Brrrr... /shudders
AIX introduced an extended COFF object and executable file format, XCOFF, that has eliminated the need to have both, static and shared, library files – the .a files were «both» at once and the linker switch had to be used to select between a statically or dynamically linked executable type. Which caused a lot of confusion for some at the time leading them to believe that AIX had no shared libraries.
You can't really do that with safetynet, as it relies on sending an (often signed with a hardware key) payload to the servers of the app, which then connect to Google's server for validation, before allowing access to the APIs the app requires.
As a chemical engineer, what I can comment (without having enough time to read the whole report) are the following short facts:

We cannot continue our uncontrolled population growth without increasing the effect our average lifestyle has on the environment.

Whether lab based meat is attainable or not, (currently, and at this scale) we cannot continue to eat a meat-centric diet without impacting the environment much in the same way that we cannot have a chocolate-cake based diet without gaining weight or eventually having malnutrition.

In order to have more average 'freedom' of choices when it comes to our diet and lifestyle, we need to agree to decrease the population so we can lessen or revert the impact we have.

Some may snarkily say that if we don't do it, mother nature may do it for us.

That works for us tech people who have know-how and cash. Most Internet users across the world don't have 300$ to spend right away (in many parts of the world, 50-200$ for a laptop/phone is already quite the expense).

I believe only by empowering smaller, user-friendly providers (eg. hosting coops) can we actually change the situation.

I dropped Spotify after that Facebook fiasco, now I just listen to my local college radio. The website does a good job of telling me what music they’re playing, and it ranges throughout the day from old-school jazz to techno or new age. The radio is nonprofit with no ads, and I’m close enough to get both HD1 and HD2 channels, So if I’m not digging what’s on one channel, I’ll just switch to the second.

I'm just surprised the Framework doesn't provide a customizable graphics card slot. Or offer a dock that can support an external desktop PCI GPU.

It's a laptop for enthusiasts offering flexibility and repairability and future-proofing, and I think that overlaps with people who want to swap out GPUs and not rely solely on the CPU-integrated one.

Perhaps they are waiting for USB-C pass-through GPU enclosures to become a thing.

I can think of other ways too, but the EU wants to regulate this part of the economy and i believe they will take way too much time to adopt new standards or simply ignore new ones. Making USB-C the port for decades and stopping any advance in technology here.
This would be more relevant if HN wasn't getting posts about the same problem with Apple laptops over and over again. In my opinion it is broken in Linux but works better than on Macs.
Interesting that they only announced it six days in advance. That doesn’t really give software vendors time to release zoneinfo updates.

I don't think "symmetric cryptography" means what you think it means.

Stream ciphers and OTPs are both symmetric.

The "symmetric" part is the fact that the same key is used for encryption and decryption, not that the plaintext and key are the same length.

Hey, at least you have only one such neighbor. Imagine how bad it is with a few thousand of them, burning sulfur-rich coal 10-11 months a year with a few plastic bottles and car tires thrown in for good measure. Wait, I don't have to imagine it, just take a look outside.

I think the author could have done a bit more legwork on this. That is not an insignificant figure.
No mention of wireless chargers. The EU is so cute.
Most definitely, but again I think that would just render meat more expensive. You need to get rid of subsidies and help the shift to something else, that something else needs to be more attractive.

This should have been going on for the past decade or so.
Having read the article, I don't think he really does. He buys a new one, refurbishes it and gives it away. Why that's a reasonable idea isn't explained (or at least it's not to my satisfaction).

Epic is playing the long game. The price Apple is asking is just not acceptable and they have the money to fight it.
And thank "God" for people like him[1]. Life is unbearable under Tim Cook's "vision", the greed, arrogance and pettiness is at an all-time high, and it's not like it was low before..

[1] Also, nothing is black and white, of course Tim/Epic were looking to get more money from what their customers paid.
>"Are they still extending the language"

Yes they are. I do find it strange though to base language acceptance criteria on regex when there are tons of libs. But yes Delphi has its own as well
Looks like this update solves all the issues I've been having using it as a daily driver. The input stutter was incredibly bad sometimes when you have muscle memory and had to intentionally slow down. Gonna do a guix pull!
Yes, animals waste most of the calories we feed them. By huge factors. We could feet a lot more people with the current energy and land-use, or feed the current number of people with a lot less effort.

Sowl Token
No, because in the ruling it was stated that apple has every right to not only ban epic but also to ban every epic subsidiary if they so desire.
The SOWL Token is the token that helps children learn globally, while benefiting holders, given it is a crypto that has a true tangible value and elevates above just the block chain into other high-tech arenas such as Artificial Intelligence, Gamification, and Augmented Reality.
Well, violating the legal contract is just a cost of doing business, that’s why Epic shrugs and pays 6M.

I’d argue that the pinky promise means more.
This would've required us to state it in the manuscript and would've reflected badly on our research (readers would've been suspicious)
On the B12 front, it should be noted that while vegetarians and vegans usually need to supplement this, animals are supplemented B12 in their feed, which is the largest reason why meat eaters don't need to supplement. They're being indirectly supplemented.

No, Epic directly offered in-game payment options for the Epic currency. The judge ordered Apple to allow in-game links to online purchase options, not to directly allow in-app purchases from 3rd parties.
> They keep delaying GPL/LGPL releases and have stated an intention to delay them by the maximum permitted amount (one year) meaning all community contributions are effectively blocked because contributors don't have access to the current codebase

Qt 6.0 was released for both commercial and LGPL at the very same time.

> https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-6.0-released

Same for Qt 6.1

> https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-6.1-released

Same for the upcoming 6.2

> https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-6.2-beta-released

so that's very much FUD.

Sure, there's the LTS thing where some point releases past a given .z are kept private, but who actually uses that in the open-source world ? Even LTS distros that use LTS versions of Qt never upgrade their point releases:

* Ubuntu 18.04 is on Qt 5.9.5 while the latest point release of the 5.9 LTS branch is 5.9.9: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/qt5-default

* Ubuntu 20.04 is on Qt 5.12.8 while the latest point release of the 5.12 LTS branch is 5.12.11 https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/qt5-default
iOS actually has a multi-touch based braille keyboard built-in. So you can have a rather similar behaviour, however, without extra hardware, with native iOS. In Settings > Accessiblity > VoiceOver, add "Braille keyboard" to the rotor options, and then use two fingers in a circular motion until you hear "Braille input". You can now hold the screen away from you in landscape mode, and use three fingers from each hand to type 6-dot braille.
Ah, I stand corrected. That's even more worrying then.
Most meat nowadays already comes out of labs. Because that is a much more appropriate name for all these meat factories we have nowadays. Farms are a thing of the past.

Theoretically, there's nothing to stop you from using this instead of iDRAC, iLo, etc.

This is not a minor issue.

Sony had a different charger model (with a different voltage down to tens of volts, or with a different connector) for nearly every single device released.

Want more than one power brick (one for the office and one for the home/vacation home)? Spend a lot of money for the convenience, or carry 2 kilos of chargers wherever you go.

Some devices eschewed power supplies altogether and used cradles. Lose the cradle and the device is unusable. Carry the cradle, and it becomes an extra 500g in your everyday carry.

If you were lucky, your device supported a barrel jack or another generic connector, but you had to carry around a universal power supply with adjustable voltage and polarity because they all used different configurations. Get something wrong, and your expensive device is fried.

I remember the early 2000s and the pre-USB charger era. I don't remember it fondly, because it was frankly stupid. Even the worst universal standard is better than no standard at all. And I say this having lived through the era of Micro USB dominance, an era that has killed the charging ports of many of my phones.
This article doesn't mention the fact that Apple lied, and that Tim Cook "promised" in court that Epic would be let back in the app store if they promised to comply with the rules. Epic made that exact promise [1]. And now Apple's telling them: F you.

What's going on at Apple?

[1]: https://www.epicgames.com/site/en-US/news/apple-lied-breaks-... and https://twitter.com/TimSweeneyEpic/status/144071146788861543...

And the relevant quote from the Tim Cook testimony:

> Apple has said that banning Epic Games was its only viable action, but at the same time, the company offered to let Fortnite back in the App Store if it agreed to the App Store rules. "Why would Apple do that if Epic is a bad actor?" the lawyer asked Cook. "It would benefit users to have them back on the store, if they abided by the rules," Cook said. "The user is trapped between two companies and it's not the right thing to do to the user." Cook said that Apple was not thinking about money at all, and Fortnite's revenue was not a consideration.

Bad move, an unforced error. This will stifle innovation needlessly, similarly to how US' (previously) mandated single model of sealed beam headlights stifled their automobile headlights innovation for several decades.

Seems some bureaucrat has dusted off the bad old "Everything that can be invented has been invented." quote.

The only possible upside would be manufacturers standardizing on wireless charging in all devices just to avoid this limitation.

For reference: sealed-beam headlamps were introduced in 1939, becoming standard equipment across all American-market vehicles starting in 1940 and remaining the only type allowed for almost four and a half decades, until the 1984 model year. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_aluminized_reflector...
Counterpoint: The same people would refuse the lab-grown meat because it comes from the lab and is synthetic. I mean, in most parts of the EU GMO crops aren't even allowed because people think it will make them into mutants.
Charging via USB is an idiotic idea that saves the manufacturers $2.27370001 and opens all USB security holes:

https://mg.lol/blog/badusb-cables/

But perhaps that is the intention: the government can just switch out your USB charger and then has access to everything that isn't covered by Apple cloud yet.
>No, this has to be voted by the parliament like any law, not approved by each member.

Almost all EU legislation needs the approval of the Council of the European Union - which comprises representatives from all 27 member states.

The Ordinary Legislative Procedure goes Commission -> Parliament -> Council -> Adoption. If the Council and Parliament don't immediately agree then there's a step in there for negotiation between all three institutions.

Aaargh20318 is probably wrong that all 27 need to agree, though, most things are decided in Council on the basis of Qualified Majority Voting which does not need all 27 to agree.
If you want to build a world, try model railroading on for size. Admittedly it can be a bit light on the analytical side, but maybe just maybe that part of your brain needs a break. As things are now, cool stuff like track signaling is very expensive, but there's all-digital engine & accessory control out there, and I'm hoping that 3D printing (and dedicated Raspberry Pi controllers) will help out with the pricier bits.
What "that" page? Aha, the page linked from the five comments up-thread... If it's as well hidden on the site -- which I'd say it is, linked as it is from a page with the semi-unrelated title ans subject of "Donate", and lacking an entry of its own in the tree on the left -- as in the comments here, then no wonder ahachete maybe just couldn't find it.

And either way, it still doesn't answer ahachete's question:

>>> So if Core (read: PAC) is the only one who should hold the trademarks, why is not Core/PAC also suing and publicly bashing against PEU? What makes PEU special? What makes legally PEU different from other Postgres NPOs?

Sure, so PGEU is apparently "acknowledged as affiliated". But where does it say that this confers rights to use the trademark, and anything else doesn't? Is this "affiliation acknowledgment" a concept in trademark law; and if so, is that Spanish, EU, US, or international trademark law? (I very much doubt it features in any of them.)

>>> I've been asking this question for years, including many times during this "debate" with Core/PEU/PAC about the trademarks. No answer.

It's great that you pointed me (albeit indirectly) to that page of criteria, but maybe the people ahachete asked could have done the same for him.

> The page in question then also goes on to say "The PostgreSQL Core Team may recognise, not recognise, or rescind a previous recognition of any organisation without justification, regardless of whether or not the criteria above are met.", but that's irrelevant

Oh, I don't know that it is all that irrelevant, at least in a larger context. Quite apart from ahachete's tribulations: Are all contributors aware that they've donated their efforts to be so capriciously allowed -- or not, as the case may be -- to be traded upon by others, and apparently without recourse to any due process?
