I think guile has moved away from embedding, its most major use is probably in guix where much of the logic is directly implemented in guile with efforts (last i checked, a while ago though) to remove the remaining C++ and replace it with guile too.

It even has a JIT these days too
The decision might yet backfire when the each EU country (yeah Norway isn't in the EU) decide to adopt different timezones, because each of them will get to decide to keep UTC+1 or UTC+2: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/clocks-change-uk-2020-daylig...

In the U.S., the inventor must be a natural person. The owner, however, is often a corporation (e.g., when an employee invents something in the scope of employment). In that case the owner corporation applies for the patent in the inventor's name, but it will own all the rights in the patent. The inventor usually signs an inventor declaration.

In other countries the inventor can be a corporation. There are some cases where this matters (e.g., disputes over inventorship or ownership of the invention of an employee), but in most cases it probably doesn't matter.

That would make sense if BTC investors made money by increasing supply. But they don't. The entire value proposition of BTC is its absolutely fixed, limited maximum supply. Again, Econ 101.

So no, if one side of this is more like BTC scammers, it isn't mine. It is the guarantee of scarcity that underwrites the entire BTC enterprise, even for the miners who are today wasting electricity on generating more of them.

Renting has absolutely nothing with our housing problems. There are majority-renter housing markets that have nowhere near the affordability problems we have. Supply is far more important than who has the deed.

If you want rich developers to make less money, unleashing supply is the way to do that. Automakers and grocery stores have relatively low profit margins because there are no government-imposed supply constraints on them.

Frankly, though, I think it's more admirable to help the poor than merely make a doomed attempt to punish the rich.

Yeah, I have a midrange NVMe SSD for my root but I have some Optane 905p drives sitting around. The Sequential write speeds were not impressive, but the latency and IOPS were good. I installed Ubuntu on one and running `apt upgrade` was so incredibly fast it was impressive.
The “ Some safe and some bold predictions” comment is almost exactly my view on how programming should evolve. (functional, reactive, going toward dependent types etc ) Interesting how in 2012 it was already so clear!

I think mostly we do have gone in that direction, even if probably even slower than the (already cautious) commenter predicted.

Honest question: why are we as a community so slow at evolving a good, solid programming environment?

I get that each time a new language is introduced, porting over all the existing code + training the people is an immense task. But this is _exactly the problem_, right?

Why aren’t we able to stop for a while and sort out once and for all a solid framework for coding?

It’s not a theoretical ideal: I’m very convinced that the dumb piling up of technologies/languages/frameworks that we use now is significantly slowing down the _actual daily work_ we do of producing software. Definitely >>50% of my time as a programmer is spent on accidental complexity, that i know for sure.

It’s very practical: at this point this whole thing simply feels like very bad engineering, tbh?
Part of that risk calculation never was government banning them from evicting renters if they don't pay rents. Maybe in future they need to add substantial increase on rents to take in account next pandemic. As clearly the government does not protect their property.
Regardless of whether these are the true reasons, Telegram being forced to ban a bot means Telegram can no longer be relied upon as a messenger.

They have two options:

1. Find a way around relying on Apple and Google's blessings

2. Make it technically impossible for themselves to ban someone like this again
They obviously could, but these days everybody uses CDNs and shared resources so they'd probably end up blocking a lot more than just this app.

For instance the app could well function completely offline if it embedded the list of candidates it supports, it which case they'd have to block all requests to the Google Play Store which would be rather heavy handed and unpopular.
That seems like a trivial "gotcha" question. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "which" theory.

Do you mean Lamarckism vs Darwinism? The correct answer is that Lamarckism is wrong.

Do you mean gradual change vs punctuated equilibrium or similar? That's not a "which theory of evolution", which is why people are confused by your question.

It really comes across as a classic "confuse people with trick questions and then try to inject religion into them while they're distracted" tactic. I'm glad I'm done with that sort of thing.

Also, belief in evolution is great, faith in evolution is not. Belief != faith, and religious people need to stop conflating them. If someone came up with an alternate theory for how we got here that explained all of the evidence better, I'd have no trouble believing it, because I don't have "faith in evolution" or any such thing.

If it was a natural virus it is way, way more likely that it would have infected locals (farming bat guano for instance) than it would be discovered by a researcher, then brought back to Wuhan, then leaked there.

I still don't exactly understand how this combats piracy? Isn't screen recording going to be the biggest concern here for content security. It can be done within 2 hours of a film releasing, causing a loss to movie-makers. Furthermore, one ticket can be bought, and streamed on a TV for multiple viewers at once.
Because it's discussed all the time, and somehow I suspect that suddenly no one will be interested in it if "the country behind it all" is Laos.
We actually do know more. Sure, physics is basically modelling and observations. Our current models might be completely wrong - even if their predictive power is far greater.

But we've also made some genuine proofs. For example, we know that Fermat's last theorem is correct. That was suspected, but not known.

Yes, this applies basically to all of maths - and even to other disciplines that produce proofs. Another example: we know that one model of gravity permits black holes, wormholes, and warp drives. Sure, the model might not accurately reflect reality. But still: this is something we know nowadays, that we didn't know 105 years ago.

Not to mention all the things we collectively have done - we know it's possible to leave Earth, to live in orbit for a while, to convert sunlight directly into electricity, that it is (barely) possible to run the 100m in under 10 sec, what the earth looks like from a distance, how to make fusion bombs, how to fly... we know a lot more than folks from even the early 1900s, let alone further back.
Use of the term "alsa" is confusing here because ALSA refers to both the kernel interface in /dev and the userspace API in alsalib. The ALSA userspace API is mostly not relevant to applications, new apps probably will not target that and will instead target Pulse, Jack or Pipewire. Of course, Pulse, Jack and Pipewire still use the ALSA kernel API internally, and do implement compatibility for its userspace API just so that older applications still work.

You're correct that XWayland is likely not going away any time soon but I would suggest avoiding it if you can, it's only for compatibility with legacy apps. It still has some of the same security issues as Xorg but they're confined only to other concurrently-run XWayland apps.
Firefox Developer Edition is now based on the Beta release channel, since Aurora is no more. It's supposed to be more stable than Nightly.
This was terrifying and heartbreaking.
On my install (Fedora 34, Gnome 40, Chrome Stable) if I run Chrome under XWayland (i.e., if I refrain from giving the flags -enable-features=UseOzonePlatform and -ozone-platform=wayland when starting Chrome) and set Gnome's scaling factor to 200% (gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']", then using the "display" tab of Gnome's Settings app), Chrome is blurry. Probably it is rendering into a framebuffer, then that buffer is being scaled up such that every pixel in the buffer becomes a 2-by-2 square of pixels on my screen, hence my experience of blurriness. I don't own a hi-DPI monitor, but if I did do you know how to avoid everything's being drawn twice as small as usual without blurriness, i.e., without essentially downgrading the hi-DPI monitor to a normal-DPI monitor?

If (as I suspect) a person cannot do what I asked you how to do, i.e., a person cannot currently configure the set of software I described above to be normal sized on a hi-DPI display without blurriness and without "full Xorg" (i.e., not just XWayland, i.e., requiring parts of X11 that definitely aren't being maintained anymore), do you expect XWayland to be improved so that that becomes possible in the future?

Sorry but this is you first post here and what you claim doesn't make much sense.

He didn't have to pay back the TON investors because the deal included that if the network does not go live by a set date (and the reason isn't telegrams fault) he would return the remaining of the investment not the part used for the development. This is the risk the investors took and they lost. telegram itself only had to pay the sec fine which was peanuts for Durov.

Don't know anything about you other claims so I cant debunk but please post sources so we can check for our self.

Some risks should belong to those people if they can't save enough to survive a year or two without pay they don't deserve to rent. They should be out on streets or find place where they can afford to buffer a year or two for rent. It's not up to landlords to take that burden, but instead it should have been on renters.

You don't plan, you get out. Maybe then government can find you some tiny box or tent to live in until you can plan and pay.

It's really not for the developer convenience. It's actually harder to build for flatpak than not from the dev's point of view. The convenience of the unified distribution is for the consumers.
Thanks for the heads up—false positive. I submitted an issue with MetaMask to have it removed.
It’s weird how people are trying so hard to convince others that the virus came from nature sources when it’s obvious now it didn’t. The amount of propaganda is really scary.

All other viruses from animals were found very soon after an outbreak. It’s been almost 2 years now and the closest they could find is thousands of miles away and kind of sort of similar.

Let’s not look for a zebra when all we have is a horse.

You're right. I'll edit the parent to soften the assertion, though I do consider it to be virtually certain.

In terms of evidence: the simplest argument is probably that humans appear to consistently obey the laws of physics, and the laws of physics appear to be mathematical.
OpenTTD is like playing with a physical trainset, you don't win you just play. That said it does offer some metrics you can compare performance on, such as:

- Company performance rating https://wiki.openttd.org/en/Manual/Detailed%20Performance%20...

- income and profit and cargo delivery: https://i.redd.it/am22ad5jkqv31.png

- company finances and value: https://bugs.openttd.org/task/104/getfile/172/finances_scree...

It typically runs through the 1900s and unlocks more vehicles later in the game, by the 2000s the game gets very easy to make money and the map is full and there are no more vehicles, so servers tend to have an arbitrary cutoff endgame then and you can compete "most valuable company" by the end.

There are plugins which add specific goals, such as CityBuilder where you take a small city for yourself and have to supply it with whatever it needs to help it grow, and the first person to cross a certain city size wins and ends the game. Then there are customised versions which make the vehicles more expensive, the routes less profitable, resource production is limited, and it's a lot more challenging to make a sustainable company at all.

"Master Hellish" has some good OpenTTD introductory videos on YouTube: e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMXFMjZu8j8
If this is working correctly on other apps, then it's probable that Chrome's Wayland support is not complete yet.
> It is common on HN to bash on large bundle sizes of SPAs, but in reality this not a problem unless users are on IE.

This is dangerously wrong. Large bundle sizes are a huge problem on slow Android phones (and almost all Android phones in real-world use are slow).

Even in the US, if you walk into a cellular store and ask for an affordable phone, they're going to give you a device that will take 7-10s to download, parse, and execute a 3MB JS bundle, even over wifi. (The parsing alone will kill you!)

(And if you're in a developing economy? That "affordable" phone is the best phone you can reasonably buy with a month's wages. The median phone is even slower!)
By the metrics society judges people and companies, Amazon is fucking killing it, few are doing things better (Apple?).

You still buy from them, what incentive do they have to return to former quality?
Remember that bat cave in Yunnan (specifically Mojiang) which supposedly had also similar viruses? Right on the border of Laos.

This very much reminds me of "The Measure of a Man" [1], one of my favorite episodes of Star Trek: TNG. Just as in this actual case AI rights are discussed, albeit things are a little more dramatic than a ruling about patents. It has to be decided whether to Data, an android/machine, should be granted the same rights as to a person or if it is fine to dismantle him for research purposes without asking.

While I agree with the current ruling in the UK, this statement does not sit too well with me:

> "Only a person can have rights. A machine cannot," wrote Lady Justice Elisabeth Laing in her judgement.

In my opinion this sets a bad precedent in case we ever achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI) [2], which I think is perfectly possible, especially considering that we humans are nothing but complicated biological machines. And I think an AGI should very much be considered a person. That's why I think the way how a US judge in a prior cases put it is more agreeable:

> As technology evolves, there may come a time when artificial intelligence reaches a level of sophistication such that it might satisfy accepted meanings of inventorship.

> But that time has not yet arrived, and, if it does, it will be up to Congress to decide how, if at all, it wants to expand the scope of patent law.

But admittedly this is still all very hypothetical as I don't see AGI happening in the near future and for now there is no real problem.

> No, your friend didn't have COVID a second time after being vaccinated after their first infection.

PCR tested positive both times, double jabbed in-between. You might not like the fact that it's possible, but that doesn't make it impossible.

1) You seem to be the one projecting a world view based off an anecdote. Chill.

2) Law of large numbers. A small percentage of a very large number is still a large number.

3) Here you go again with made up "facts" that aren't even anecdata.

> Cases of reinfection with COVID-19 have been reported

Seems pretty conclusive. They're referred to as "breakthrough cases", and not as rare as you seem to believe. What's more important is that the risk of hospitalization and death in breakthrough cases is considerably reduced.

> I would encourage you to do no further research

I would encourage you to do more. Making up "facts" to make a point does nothing to strengthen your position (whatever that may be – seems more like you just wanted to rant).

We may have to wait for the fall of chinese communism to know what happened though, like for Katyn. Might take a few decades.

The GO is still my favorite headset to this day, and I have used many of the others both professionally and for entertainment.

It's very simple, which is great for introducing people to VR for the first time; just put the headset on and they are ready to go.

It's very light and comfortable; I have no problem wearing the GO for hours, watching a full movie. PC VR is so uncomfortable that I've never made it all the way through a game like Half Life: Alyx.

Increases in image quality are great and necessary, but ultimately VR will take over the world when it's as comfortable and easy to use as a pair of spectacles. To date, the Go is the headset that has come the closest to that dream.

As others have said, he is specifically trying to get an AI recognized as an Inventor instead of a human (where that is required). The invention does not seem to be important to him at all.

"thousand miles away" in Yunnan (right on the border with Laos) is where the "Bat Woman" was sent to investigate an pneumonia oubreak with case fatality rate of 50% in 2012.

At the very minimum samples would've been brought back to WIV.

Were they manipulated/gain-of-function enhanced since?

I do not have enough back ground in bio to say, but what are the odds they'd just let samples sit and do nothing with them for years in a research lab? is that something they normally do?
