This is pretty much how it works in the UK. What is illegal is "indecent images" of someone under 18, and the intent of the person collecting them can come into play. A picture of a child in the bath placed in a family album is unlikely to be seen as indecent, but the same picture in a collection of naked children you have no reasonable excuse for having likely would be considered indecent.
I really fail to understand why Michael allowed this behaviour. If it got to a point where voice has been raised, there should have been a concern started and security called into place, promptly adjourning the meeting. Who knows where else this would have gone after that?

Rust uses WTF-8 on Windows for OsStr[ing] and Path[Buf]. It's zero-overhead to cast from &str to &OsStr/&Path to &[u8] (though converting WTF-8 to UTF-16 costs an extra operation when performing a Win32 function call). However this doesn't solve the inability to round-trip "possibly-valid UTF-8/16" to "Unicode text" and back (though Python's surrogateescape might be one viable approach).

Other libraries handle this even worse than Rust. On Linux (filenames are bytes), Qt is unable to open files with invalid UTF-8 names, while GTK can open them (but shows an "invalid encoding" message instead of the original filename), which I think is a good-enough approach.
In the back of this 80s book that I've got somewhere there's a set of programs that are 5-7 printed pages long... and written entirely in awk.

A short example of that type of thing - https://people.sc.fsu.edu/~sshanbhag/awk-shell/histogram.awk

For the time, that was likely a very reasonable solution. But for today's world, there are better solutions.
No these terms are going to end up being dropped - the key capability is being able to override visual and auditory perception fully. Physical reality is one of the inputs and can be used or discarded to the degree necessary. For example, a fully immersive VR app that takes into account objects and other things in the room to ensure the virtual experience generated doesn’t lead to a person walking into things. This will, in many cases, be a knob a user can turn or the software will turn on their behalf: how much do I want the real world to leak into my eyeballs and ears? If I am walking down the sidewalk with a friend, we may be experiencing a quiet forest path, with other strangers we pass in the real world appearing as elves or animals to cue us of their presence, but as I approach the curb and go into the street, due to increased hazards, the real world will become more apparent and the forest will dissolve away so I can remain safe while I cross.
What specifically are you looking for? It has history search but it sounds like you’re looking for something specific?
So if I'm reading this right, this seems to be about PERM applications.

For context, PERM certification is a required step in the green card application, where a company sponsoring a green card applicant must demonstrate that they posted a job ad for the candidate's position somewhere conspicuous for a sufficient amount of time and that they were not able to find a qualified American applicant.

Where this gets iffy is that because this is part of a green card sponsorship, this is always an advertisement for a position that is already filled by the H1-B holder, who typically has already been at working in that capacity for at least a year, and who literally is only engaging in this process because they intend to immigrate and become a US permanent resident.

There's literally zero incentive for any company to boot an already productive H1-B holder in favor of some random new hire just because of their nationality. Typically, the way this is justified is that the hypothetical new hire must demonstrate the ability to be as productive as the H1-B holder, including having context on the project. Otherwise, it would just cost the company time and money to fire the employed person and hire/onboard the new one for no benefit to the company whatsoever. It would indeed be doubly bad from a reputation perspective since then foreign talent would definitely avoid applying to a company that just boots people and leaves them out in the cold with an invalid residency status forcing them to move back to their home country in a month's window. The justification that companies can't find the talent in the country boils down to that: where were these so called qualified american candidates a year prior to the PERM application? IF they existed then, the company would certainly have preferred to hire them because H1-B/PERM/green card sponsorship actually costs quite a bit of money to the company.

Now, I may be biased, since I'm a green card holder myself, but the thing with PERM is that the H1-B engagement is a mutual investment which started at least a year prior to PERM coming into the picture in the first place (it's an investment by the company, in terms of finding and onboarding a new person and getting them to be productive, as well as by the employee, who works to build context and become necessary to the company). Is it "fair" that one person ought to have the right to just come in after the fact and enjoy the fruits of other people's investments just because of their nationality, especially considering that this entails a losing party who for all intents and purposes was already a productive member of American society working towards acquiring permanent residency status?
This is about nailing the exact date that this settlement was built. Leif Erikson was almost certainly earlier anyways.
Just taking a walk and talking with someone with no extra activity for me can be often tiring and not that fun if I don't know the person well.
Especially for dates I would rather spend even a fair bit of money to do something super fun rather then hope the conversation goes well.

There are different theories. I enjoyed this exploration of the topic.

>One of the most unlikely tales of a society’s fall is the incredible saga of the Vikings of Greenland. Find out how these European settlers built a society on the farthest edge of their world, and survived for centuries among some of the harshest conditions ever faced by man. Discover how this civilization was able to overcome the odds for so long, and examine the evidence about what happened to cause its final and mysterious collapse. Including Viking poetry, Inuit folktales and thousands upon thousands of walrus.
An interesting counter-factual that comes to mind - if the Norse Greenlanders had brought smallpox or other diseases with them, then Native Americans would have had 500 years to recover (and keep immunity?) - The conquistadors would have faced millions of not-dying-natives. A much different world would have resulted.

If you're looking at the SKU with the high GPU core count and 64 Gigs of LPDDR5, the total memory bandwidth (400 GBps) isn't that far off from the bandwidth a discrete GPU would have to it's local pool of memory.

You also have an (estimated from die shots) 64 megabyte SRAM system level cache and large L2 and L1 CPU caches, but you are indeed sharing the memory bandwidth between the CPU and GPU.

I'm looking forward to these getting into the hands of testers.
This was the era of the Anglo-Scandinavian Empire, formed in Britain and Scandinavia under the king of England, Canute, a Danish prince. It didn't outlast him by long (and Norway was independent until the 1020s) but the coincidence of political consolidation in northern europe with brief settlement in north America is interesting.
Apparently there is some evidence about Vikings bringing Native Americans back to Iceland.

I've never understood the significance of this.

The vikings were in North America for a few years and then went back to Europe. They brought back (almost?) nothing, left a few scattered settlements, and completely forgot about it.

So what.

From the the Lecturer's original op-ed, linked in the NYTimes article:

"MFE would involve universities investing in education projects in neighborhoods where public education is failing to help children from those areas compete."

This seems like lip service to the fact that there is a massive imbalance in the quality of public education between neighborhoods. Is it realistic that a typical university would have the time, knowledge or budget to improve public K-12 schools in underserved areas?

Even more interesting to consider is the imperial Varangian Guard, comprised of Norse recruits. It's entirely possible that one of these Viking explorers in North America (or their descendants) later resided at court in Constantinople.
Oh my god, no, anybody with the ability to make this sacrifice should do so. This thread is about Moderna so I'm talking about Moderna. And it's barely even a sacrifice! Are they going to cease to exist if they make this process public? It's not their entire business, it's not going to affect them right away, the potential competition is years in the future. I'm not asking them to sacrifice any of their ambition.

What you need to find is a willing host to totally monopolize. JavaScript just isn't going away from the browser in my lifetime and JavaScript started out as a completely hobbled language that still has major warts.

I would kind of prefer a space where I can "engage" with companies/people I'm interested in instead of a space full of peni.

Without being reductive, though: there's obviously a middle-ground here. For example, property/space is "owned" by entities in Second Life and those owners can kick/ban others who aren't behaving from their space. It seems entirely possible for a large, 3D space to have areas where brands (or other entities) can ensure they have a penis-free space without dictating what the rest of the "world" is like.
This is called "market segmentation".

I still use Perl all the time for random tasks. It is exceedingly fast and simple to create very powerful programs using stable libraries, and all the legacy code still works. It's the most handy general purpose scripting language, period. And you can run it anywhere.

I don't use it for "portable" things, which is funny because it's more portable than any language I can think of. I write things in Python if anyone other than me has to support it or run it, and Bash if it's just going to be embedded in a system where I don't want to make Perl a dependency. But to do something powerful and fast just for myself? It's Perl, baby.

Note that Docker Desktop for Mac has always used a VM to run a Linux instance. Same with Docker Desktop on Windows (I don't know if this has changed with WSL). The main difference on M1 Macs is the qemu emulation when a Docker image is only available as x86_64. If the image is available in AArch64 it runs native on the M1.

Great tip. I've never come across this before. I updated the post and the scaled up icons look much sharper now.

Something worth noting – unlike offerings like Github Codespaces, code-server and others this one is running fully in your browser (no backing VM). This is both good (faster to start and run, no server roundtrips needed) and bad (can't install custom language toolchains or run build scripts, can't pause and restart on different machines). vscode.dev is specifically not a "cloud IDE".
This is true in technology development too. E.g. the mobile handheld was described in essence in writings 100 years ago. Ideas usually propagate slowly, some reach the masses.

The argument is mostly people talking past each other because algorithms are tuned to incite irrational engagement. People arguing against meritocracy are (usually/hopefully) not arguing that the concept itself is broken, more about the implementation (there is a small group that argues the concept is broken, but that group also overlaps with those that don’t believe in free will).
In classic Microsoft scattershot leadership, the preview is only available to Beta channel members, but not Dev channel members. Typically, new features would go Dev > Beta > RC > Final. This is going Beta > Dev > RC > release.

Surprise - Dev channel members (who were there because they wanted Android apps as soon as possible) are pissed. It also doesn't help that Microsoft removed the ability to switch to the Beta channel from the Dev channel a few months ago without notice.

The interesting thing with that is “facebook” comes across as simple and human-like, despite there being a lot of complexity behind it.

There has been no push in the market to get small GA off leaded gas. There has been no extra tax even. As a result, new planes, being delivered today, are shipping with engines requiring leaded gas, which perpetuates this problem.

After decades - does it make public policy sense to still sell NEW planes that REQUIRE leaded gas?

I don't believe so.

Literally every other method of propulsion, some with much stronger claims in terms of life utility, have moved off leaded gas. Ie, the ambulance, the race cars the everything, except GA.

Reality -> GA has a well connected / rich pool of users with influence. If you had a bunch of poor minorities spraying even trace amounts of lead over someone's nice golf course my guess is you'd be getting well off activists to shut you down in no time for environmental or other reasons.
I think Perl 6 killed Perl 5.

Perl spent almost 20 years with a new version looming over its head. It was known from the start that Perl 6 would be incompatible. This meant it always seemed to be a bad time to get into Perl. You were committing to having to do a partial re-write whenever Perl 6 happened to come.

As more time passed and the differences between 5 and 6 became bigger, companies that had been holding out for Perl 6 started to ask "If I'm going to have to do a re-write, why not re-write in something else?". Which is what we ended up doing.

I think there are various other warts in Perl compared to other languages in its niche, but I don't think they killed the language.

I really don't see what makes it inherently nationalist propaganda as opposed to just being anti-colonialist in general. What about the book makes you feel that it is trying to specifically proselytize a pro-CCP view of China's relationship to the world as opposed to an indictment of colonization as a whole?

No I continued the dialog we are having by responding to your assertion and disagreeing where I felt your argumentation was flawed

>>That sounds fairly conservative to me.

Depends on how you define your politics, if you do so on a single axis Left/Right. Liberal / Conservative. Maybe.

I tend to look at politics more like the Political Compass[1] for which I am dead center between left and right, but I am extremely far down on the libertarian scale

[1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Political_Compass
The details can go very deep. It’s not that you can ignore the details, it’s that you can ignore some but not others, as in every language. Assembly also “largely” ignores the details. After all, assembly is an abstraction over other languages.

But now your “definition” of a transpiler depends on a subjective measure of “sameness”.

For instance, you called Python and Java the same level of abstraction, but in Java a lot of concern is devoted to properly typing numbers, whereas in Python this concern is ignored. If I really didn’t have to worry about the underlying hardware architecture, I would never care about the difference between a 16 bit and 32 bit number. Why aren’t 17 bit numbers a default type in Java? Why are there different sizes at all? Why can’t I just make everything infinity bits so I don’t have to worry about overflows? The answer to these questions have more to do with computer architecture than with Java.

And Java is even worse because now there are two machines: the hardware one and the virtual one, which is hard to always ignore. For some applications you can ignore the GC entirely, for others ignoring the GC will lead to catastrophic failure!

So is Java higher or lower or the same as Python? Depending on the axis measured, probably all three!

This is why people say it’s not so cut and dry. Any time someone puts down a sharp line, it’s easy to blur it. Which usually indicates there is no line at all.
