I had wondered why they ended up on Manjaro of all things. Did Pine64 make an explicit statement on the matter?
>There are many cases where the US has deemed it not worth it

And there are many cases where they have. This guy certainly got his $2,000 worth when Seal Team 6 swooped in, killed a bunch of people and rescued him. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-electio...

Trump administration had over the years rescued 55 hostages in 24 countries. Their only qualification of rescue, being american citizens.

> This is a myth. It is not true.

Thus it is true, and it is not a myth.
Politics does not exist to resolve social problems. It exists to resolve headlines.

So, yeah, it is a straw man. It’s framed as a general problem of society, but it’s a feel good solution that again waves off any conversation about raising taxes in response to their behavior.

Senators are tackling this very serious problem, to be immediately gamed given billionaires financial resources.

It’s not a tax on money, it’s a tax on agency. Fiat and macro economics is a euphemism for “what are people doing and how do we make them do this instead?”

It’s not about perfect mind control, but inflating their value to deflate our agency (or buying power, whatever trips your trigger).

We get debate protecting one concept or principle or another, but think a bit more literally and it starts to take on a whole new perspective.
C extensions can continue to be supported. Said extensions already explicitly lock/release the GIL, so to keep things backwards compatible it would be perfectly fine if there was a GIL that existed strictly for C extension compatibility.
It looks like a Bitcoin futures ETF is nearing approval and could go live next week [1][2]. My guess is that people are pricing that in.

Mostly you would only use (*) from that list for lisp. Some lisp hackers are known to remap the first row of their keyboard to be shifted so that one needn’t hold shift to type parens.
Vitamin D too. Also if you have methylation problems you may need to supplement B12 even if you are meat eater.
Did you regularly use function keys beforehand?
It also seems to me that you are arguing with a straw man you have constructed. Literally nobody in this entire thread had defended the status quo. Your standards seem to require people to be actively tearing down society due to it's injustices before they're allowed to offer a critique of an old problem in a new format
That's debatable. Seriously tho your comment reminded me of one of my favourite TV ads for road safety from a few years ago https://youtu.be/HrWKXO1qwPM
Levels of degree, pal. Hospitals aren’t overloaded with the obese, they’re overloaded with the unvaccinated.
Agreed. I don't think there are really any mainstream alternative proposals in the policy sphere, at least not that I've seen. I've seen technologists grapple with what might make sense, like Ben Thompson for instance, but they don't seem to have the ear of government actors. Which is why I'm so frustrated by the conflation with monopoly regulation. It is actively a distraction to the policy discussion. Every time they go to Congress, there is all this focus on "breaking them up", but it's all just really misguided and beside the point, and I blame the monopoly confusion for that.
That's part of why it's so infuriating. I wish they'd not install anything that wasn't working reliably. If only three features currently work, fine. Build from there.

But a crashy mess that can't do 100 things while it overheats? I have no use for that.

Fred Brooks, 1987:

Some years ago Harlan Mills proposed that any software system should be grown by incremental development. That is, the system should first be made to run, even if it does nothing useful except call the proper set of dummy subprograms. Then, bit by bit, it should be fleshed out, with the subprograms in turn being developed--into actions or calls to empty stubs in the level below.

I have seen most dramatic results since I began urging this technique on the project builders in my Software Engineering Laboratory class. Nothing in the past decade has so radically changed my own practice, or its effectiveness. ... The morale effects are startling. Enthusiasm jumps when there is a running system, even a simple one. Efforts redouble when the first picture from a new graphics software system appears on the screen, even if it is only a rectangle. One always has, at every stage in the process, a working system.
Basically, case required. I gave up, and went for a battery back case. Once I got used to the size, it's all good and I pretty much do not care what they make the phones out of.

That said, man... I sure miss my Note 4. Plastic back, plastic all over the place. Great phone, removable battery, fast, the works! Cat peed on it. Total loss.
This is really interesting. I've long thought of as the US' empire being a primarily financial one (as opposed to military, like many other past empires) and I didn't even realize OFAC existed until reading your comment, much less the types of activities they engage in. This certainly cements my suspicions even more about the financial empire of the US and how they exercise that power.

Thanks for the post.
I've not seen the show, but I bet if it wasn't such a money-maker for Netflix it would have been taken down without a second thought - as in it wouldn't be worth Netflix's time to try and defend themselves from the trans-activists.

Next you are going to say that a phone is dead unless it's being charged.
I am stoked, but it will be a fraught process. Right now it's being rolled out as "a payday loan alternative"---i.e, it's for poor people.

Historically, trying to avoid political battles by making services poor-only (whether means testing or otherwise) has been loosing strategy as the Republicans let it through (battle win!) but the service becomes shitty and paternalistic without a strong broad electoral mandate.

The key is making something just about everyone will want to use, letting people vote with their feat, and then it becomes untouchable.

We need the accounts to make UBI stick, but perhaps we should think about it the other way too. Next crises, don't bother with people's existing accounts and instead say "there's a check waiting for you with your already-existing PO account".

Just like Facebook getting people to make shadow account for their friends and spamming you to claim in the olden days!

A person's mental illness can have drastically different outcomes depending on who they are surrounded by. Even before Facebook there were plenty of cases where people exploited the emotionally and socially naive or unstable, for their own gain or amusement. I worry social media can enable something similar.

I feel like a lot of comments are missing the point of this blog post. In the past 5 years or so, there has been an explosion of "XaaS" API companies that many of the new fintechs or "challenger banks" build on top of. For example:

1. There are lots of Banking as a Service platforms for fintechs that want to essentially be the end-user facing platform, but then funds are held at a chartered, FDIC-insured bank. Companies like Q2 and Treasury Prime.

2. There are then a slew of companies for things like Card Issuing as a Service, KYC as a Service, Fraud Monitoring as a Service. Companies like Stripe, Marqeta and Lithic on the card issuing side; Alloy, Socure, Unit21 on the KYC side; Sift on the fraud monitoring side, etc.

This post is basically arguing about open source companies providing "lower level primitives" in the form of libraries that people can build on top of, i.e. libraries for creating and processing ACH files, sending and receiving wire transfers, financial ledgers, syncing for required OFAC checks, etc. Building these things from scratch today is extremely difficult, not just because it takes time, but because (at least to me), it feels like so much stuff in the financial industry is poorly documented, or perhaps its better to say that the documentation is only half the story - what is required in practice and by what regulators really care about just takes "tribal knowledge" from banking experience.

Not saying one way or the other whether I think the author's thesis is correct, but I think it's a good topic for discussion, and is orthogonal to things like Open Banking APIs.
Adult literacy in general across deep time fascinates me. It has all kinds of implications for leasure vs work life balance, the nature of society, social status. We've allowed an image of life to perpetuate which implicitly alienates 50% of the world's productive labour to a secondary role except for a 9-18 month window of child birth and breastfeeding, ignoring all the other lifetime when economically (I know this is dehumanising) this makes absolutely no sense.

Hunter-gatherers notoriously actually live off women's gathering labour, the hunt part is supplementary protein, and entertainment for idle jackasses: women do most of the work. Why do we allow reading of history to tell us scribes, and implicitly literate people were "mostly men" when evidence is at best one sided? Collectively, religious women may well have outnumbered monks. Men had to do other things, including dying in pointless activity far more than women. Marian reverence implies a religious status of women which demands economic relevance as well.
I think this is a class and age thing. A lot of less wealthy and young people use prepaid wireless carriers because of cost, and end up just getting new phone numbers when they buy a new shitty phone or switch to a plan that's a better deal for them.

It costs money to port numbers between carriers, and it's a pain to set up when you can just pop in a SIM card and start making calls/texts right away with your new number.
I hear (and have tasted) that the NYT recipes are both extensive and consistently good.

I've done tough physical labor, and repetitive physical labor. They may wear out the body (or may invigorate it, depending on the load), but the mind is fresh even after 8+ hours, in my experience. And it feels good.

After six hours of typey-typey in front of a screen I feel used up. Worthless. Dead. And that's a very good day—four is more typical for "how long can I do computer work before I just want to curl up and do nothing until I fall asleep?". I mean four hours of actually working, mind you, not screwing around, but still.

I know for a fact I don't have a general work ethic problem that prevents me from going past 4-6 hours of computer work in a day—I have a "this particular shit—computer shit—sucks the life out of me like nothing else" problem. Always been that way, even when I was young. Work? I'll do it 'till I drop and feel good about it. Computer work? Uuuuugh, if I have to, I guess, but I'll hate it the whole time and feel like shit when I'm done, which, BTW, won't take long.

But, anything I could do that wouldn't involve sitting in front of a computer much of the day would mean a 60+% pay cut, so... here I am.
> concurrency-related bugs that have been masked by the GIL

Yeah... could phrase this as "All programs written with the assumption of a GIL are now broken" instead. Wish they had done this as part of the breaking changes for python 3, I guess they'll have to wait for Python 4 for this?
Just to be clear: the white friend in White Lotus does not in fact genuinely care about her minority friend Paula. The series sets up the falsity and creepiness of their relationship over multiple episodes.

That doesn't refute any point you're trying to make here, but I'm pretty confident the show doesn't want you to see the white family as the "good guys" in the story.

For this thread, I'd just leave it at: White Lotus is an absurdist work of fiction. Excepting the BLM guy and maybe Belinda the wellness spa worker, if anything anybody on that show says really resonates with you, you should double-check yourself. The point of the show is that most of the characters are in their own ways odious.
Maybe each thread could have a mapping storing the number of references held (in that thread) for each object? This way only the atomic refcount has to be in the object header.
Also I don’t think there would be an owning thread at all with this idea, so no ID needed.
Not OP, but go look at the consul documentation. In fact, just look at "Configuration" page alone: https://www.consul.io/docs/agent/options - it goes FOREVER. Maybe you don't need most of that, but whatever you do need, you're going to have to find it somewhere in there.

And yes, the error messages can be utterly cryptic.

One thing: Don't ever let junior devs try to create a cluster out of their own laptops (yes they will think it sounds like a good idea) as this will be a never-ending nightmare.
There are many considerations to take into account. Nutrition is not one size fits all, but the general rule which does apply is moderation and balance. A completely sedentary lifestyle would have higher risk for disease if they had the same diet as, for example, a professional athlete.

>Fun fact: the trial you referenced failed to show any benefit of COVID vaccination in reducing all-cause mortality in the population they studied:

Is the implication that we should have expected it to? The study endpoints are clearly "vaccine efficacy (VE) against laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 and safety data".
>Crucially, some of the participants were given antiviral drugs to treat the infection. As the infection hypothesis predicted, this reduced the risk of dementia. Overall, those taking a long course of medication were around 90% less likely to develop dementia over the 10-year study period than the participants who had not received any treatment for their infection.

This is wild, I had never heard of this.
Element.io also offer paid managed servers where they do the bridging for you if you'd rather not deal with it yourself. Starts at around $10 a month for a home server plus some light WhatsApp bridging and works surprisingly well, with the caveats already mentioned above about calling.
Vacuum Phosphor Display!

Oooohhh. That's just nice, and that is all. I love those displays.
No, but apparently they can tell people "this is worth $1" and people will believe them, even if there's nothing backing it. On a long enough timeline what you say might be true, but in the short term it seems that most people haven't gotten the memo.
It is not worse at all. Have you ever seen the movie There Will Be Blood? The local railroad monopolies were used to drive competitors out of other markets, like oil, by cutting off the ability of those market participants to transport their products. Getting multiple messaging notifications from different apps is not anywhere within the same ballpark as this...

It's really just so insane that the complaint being ascribed to monopoly power is that it's a tad inconvenient to use the many freely available competitive products. Yeah! That's what a market that isn't monopolized is like! There are lots of competing products, which is often less convenient than if everyone were using a single monopoly product!
For a minute I thought I finally found someone else who likes the GIL, but then you said content about. Programs that just divide up work across processes are much easier to write without introducing obscure bugs due to the lack of atomicity. I'm definitely excited for a GIL-less python, even if it's a rare scenario where it makes sense to try to do performant code in python in the first place rather than offloading a few lines to another language to be fast, but I am a bit afraid that people (particularly beginner programmers) will grab this with too many hands. Having also seen recommendations for this-or-that threading method going around in other languages, threads are recommended really much more often than where it makes sense and beginners won't have a comparative experience yet of writing multi-process code instead.

That said, I am also always interested in GIL-related content like this! Loved the article.

> Furthermore pretty much everybody in every non-western country is a TERF.

Many non-western nations traditionally had third gender (Hijras in India, Kathoey in Thailand, many Native American Two-Spirit Identities). When these places were colonized these identities were used as a justification, and generally punished harshly. The argument that "only people in western nations tolerate this", is bad-faith, and doesn't recognize that anti-trans hostility in a lot of the non-western world was largely created by the colonial overlords this argument is meant to rebuke.
> As software engineers, we don't have a culture of practice. Its assumed that with enough time working professionally, we'll keep improving

Man, this is exactly what I've been thinking lately.

I don't have that much professional experience and have a background of competitive gaming where there is a really strong culture of explicit practice.

Coming to software development where people with a lot of experience can't articulate their process or the steps they took to improve is really fucking annoying.

I don't expect a step-by-step manual, but I do expect something instead of it all being tribal/intuitive knowledge.
Yes. I like older cars for these reasons.

Basically, if one can drive at night, no cab illumination beyond a dim dash, the controls make sense. They make better sense when fewer of them are not modal.
People can't choose their race, and one's race doesn't impact other people negatively. People can and do choose to engage in exploitative business practices for profit, despite any negative externalities those practices have on other people.

We, as a society, have tomes of legislation and case law that regulate business practices and their negative impacts on individuals or society as whole.
Private banks can only extend loans so much as they have the money already.

Yes, it's a juggling act: Person A still has $1000 on the ledger in their deposit even if the bank lends $800 of that to Person B, so if the people with deposits want to cash out all at the same time, and the bank can't pull back what they've lended out fast enough, you have big problems!

But they aren't just adding numbers to a cell in a spreadsheet without having the money to back it - a loan that can't be used to pay someone or to be turned into cash is useless. You can't just start a bank and issue yourself a thousand dollars into your own account and expect to be able to use it for anything. This would be closer to the credit card model - short term credit without taking deposits, making money on the repayment - but again, good luck issuing yourself your own credit card to buy a bunch of stuff with to "create money."

And they also aren't doing anything that couldn't be done with crypto!

There is in practice no first sale doctrine for digital images; the first sale doctrine gives you the right to distribute your copy, not to make your own copies; and you can't transfer a PNG to your friend without making a copy. The first sale doctrine deals with the intersection of copyright with physical copies of a work.

This is why no one is buying and selling digital artworks, except using an artificial concept of ownership - a certificate. The artworld has done it with paper certificates for a long time; NFTs are the same thing.
I'm not really sure what the parent poster was trying to say. It seems like an abstract example, but then goes into way too much detail about the actual language concepts Java brings to the table.

The perceived value of those exceeds potential costs and liabilities.
I don't think their volume justifies the expansion yet. They are an incredibly small company (around 90 people) that is doing a lot more than build a phone.

I'm writing this from a FP3 and I'm a bit thorn because I want a FP4 but this phone still works perfectly. I might get a new battery in the next months as this on e doesn't last a day outdoors anymore. It's also a seriously sturdy phone, already fell so many times on the floor.
So are you saying that your line is when someone else is contagious with covid or something else? Seems extremely selective to me.

Second hand smoke has killed 30k+ in the US yearly for decades.

Drunk drivers and reckless drivers kill thousands of people yearly.

So yes they aren't able to give you covid but the are in fact very capable of killing other innocent people that did nothing wrong.

Also once again we are talking about whether or not is okay to laugh at someone dying. It has nothing to do with antivax stuff. This is the second time you have attempted to put words in my mouth. Please stop.
My Ubuntu crashed yesterday in the middle of upgrading to 21.10 when I moved the mouse and the XPS 15 hinge is literally falling apart. I can't wait for this to come out! I am mostly interested in the CPU performance and not having to run a VM to build iOS. That itself should save me hours waiting for code to build.

You take my assertion as agreement or belief that this is ok. It's not, but if you're working to support family or pay off debts, the decision quickly loses its philosophical or moral character and only has a practical one: do I continue to make money or do I risk my livelihood and potential earning?

I'm not an apologist for them, I just don't care that they lied. Corporations lie and that's not controversial to me. They settled, with another US authority, the matter over their reserves is resolved - for that time period and legal agreement, the same standard applied to every other institution in the financial services sector.
