This extension is a lifesaver for my older computers, who inevitably get frozen up by the giant shitpiles of JS on all the ubiquitous sites.

I used to dread accidentally clicking one of those domains, which inevitably happens when I'm googling something, because it usually meant killing the browser process or sometimes even hard-rebooting.

Now I get a usable alternative. Many thanks to the authors. (And many thanks and props to google search for being one of the few Web mainstay services staying accessible to older devices.)

If you don't have a situation where absolutely nobody can be trusted, then all these things become tractable with the traditional cryptography. In games you can choose to trust a game publisher, a server, or a consensus of a few selected parties.

People can prove their identity and ownership of items via a private key. A new server can accept claims signed with a public key of the previous publisher, and you could turn that into a federated system.
Nah, it's probably that now that they are allowing remote for almost all jobs, they now have a much bigger space for recruitment (lots of people in Europe don't want to move to London or Dublin).
Umm, what?

So GW would not have had a clue about multiple types of users sharing a street? Like he never had to consider how people with different resources and needs might have to share a common utility?

And wouldn't have a clue about how such a group of people could come to a decision which sufficiently met the needs of all???

Unless there is an alternative it can't be outdated, per definition. WireGuard is not an alternative in many cases. But I get your point, it might have design mistakes (or implementations we would have done different today, while I think you are talking about IKEv1, not IKEv2), but no IPSec/IKEv2 server is left open for scriptkiddies to break, it's receiving updates when bugs are found and in this sense not outdated too. Unless you're using outdated crypto algorithms, but that's up to you. The NSA possibly has capabilities to break IPSec/IKEv2 anytime they want, but that's something we don't know about WireGuard either. If that's the case with WireGuard, it has design flaws too or bugs which aren't found yet. It's better to know about a design flaw and mitigate against it, then not knowing about it and not being able to mitigate against it.
I'm claiming this can already be accomplished using standard tools already installed, without much effort.

I was able to get a Zagato Zele [0] from ~1974.

One of the first "real" electric cars. A 2 seater with only two speeds (no variation, just 2 relays and a resistor in series). With 100kg of lead acid batteries, this thing didn't get very far.

But to be fair, it was so much fun driving with it. So noisy with their reductor, but a fun little car nevertheless. Reminds me of the Renault Twizy which was a fail but fun.

It IS appealling to those people. This is a 15 year old project with only 1 active developer yet it still has thousands of users despite needing to set up a bunch of ini files and NAT loopback to run it. The problem is that it is hard even just to visit. Most people who run grids and regions are quite technical people who were in second life around the time it was hot , which is a long time ago, thats why you dont hear a lot about it. During the VR hype mania years many people left to try the new platforms until they failed. And in general people don't seem to reach outside their social media bubbles much.

I don't understand why houses should be excluded from the capitalistic process; If councils were doing their job and permitting sufficient housing construction, then high prices = more housing = everyone is happy.

I'm no expert on Amsterdam, but checking your last article mentions rent control; why would property developers bother building new housing when the returns are artificially deflated by government action? This is precisely the problem with regulations, they damage price signals. It would not at all surprise me if the government is in part causing all of these problems.

I will also note that housing being expensive in a large, popular city is basically the case the world over, and I suspect tourists are just an easy scapegoat to deflect blame from policy failure.

Why would you use GNU parallel if you have to implement your own non-trivial pre- or post-processing logic anyway? Just spawn the worker processes yourself.

GNU parallel is great if you have, e.g., a bunch of files, each of which needs to be processed individually, like running awk or sed over it. Then you can just plop parallel in front and get a speedup for free. That's not what parsort does.

They're not that mature software wise due to the fact that hardly anyone uses them. Microsoft may save us here because Virtualization Based Security has to be enabled to sell an OEM PC with a Win11 sticker. Doing GPU virtualization in software has a big performance hit if not hardware assisted (like CPU virt). Hopefully this will twist enough arms at AMD/Nvidia that they will be forced to open up virt features on consumer cards. I asked an Intel graphics rep if virt would be supported on Intel's new discrete parts (Arc series) and they said wait until launch to see which is at least better than last year when they told me they had no plans.

Removing GIL brings flexibility too.

Assuming now you have a big dictionary, which contains tens of millions of records to be filtered upon, another say TB of data. In current Python land, you either:

1. Using multi-processing, but each process needs to create its own dictionary

2. Or create an external DB, and using the DB's client to retrieve data in certain way.

This pattern has occurred again and again in my use case, and it is always messy to solve in Python. Had Python has true multi-threading, then sharing some big but read-only object among real threads would be a possibility, and believe me, a lot of people would be really happy.

Cryptopals: New problems (unofficial set 9)
Have recently moved from Hg to Git for a codebase with multi-year Hg history.

Tooling for Hg regarding merges and conflict handling is a little bit better, but where Git wins is the vast amount of info and help available.

Another issue is that Pull Requests are uncommon with Hg, so instead bundles are shared using email, this is not a good workflow.
Lot's of experiences are amazing and wonderful when very few people do it, but they morph into something different when the masses come in. National parks. A rustic cafe in an old town. A picknick along a river bank. High signal internet forums. Venice. Zhangjiajie. Driving cars.

I don't know if any solution exists. It seems to me that the only way to preserve the original experience is via some sort of exclusiveness, which immediately provokes a backlash. Especially exclusions based on money.
Sigh.

You question these people's wisdom because they are "white male slave owners".

Did you ever think that because they were confronted with the reality of slavery they were much much more attuned to the issues of human rights than say a tech worker in our society who doesn't notice that almost everything they use and touch was made by slaves? Who built that iphone? Sewed your clothes? Who mined the cobalt which allows your lithium batteries?

And even in the west, slave labor hasn't gone away. We just hide it in private prisons or "illegal" immigrants.

We are much better at tech than the founding fathers, but I have no evidence that we are any better at moral and/or political philosophy (and quite a bit of evidence against).

What is that simpler protocol?
I needed a serviced apartment, and decided to use Airbnb because between Agoda and Airbnb, it was ever-so-slightly cheaper. When I searched it said the 100% refundable cancellation policy. So I made the booking, I adjusted the dates to 30 days, it didn't tell me that changing the date range to > 28 days changes the cancellation policy to an entirelly different policy that is dictated by the host.

So when the Taiwan border opened by 3 weeks before I was due to go to the serviced apartment, I couldn't cancel without losing 100% of the money as the 'new' cancellation policy was 100% non-refundable.

Contacting Airbnb they said there's a different policy if the booking is for more than 28 days, and so it's up to the host, so in the end the host reluctantly agreed to a 75% refund.

I could have paid 10% extra on Agoda for the same serviced apartment, and cancelled 24 hours before checking in and got 100% refund.

Airbnb letting hosts dictate cancellation policies, and not properly relaying information when paying, prevents me ever touching airbnb again.
> Realistically, real estate should not be very good investment.

Real estate isn't a particularly attractive investment, even in the best of times. Single family homes net around 8%, which is 2-4% less per year than what you would expect to get with an index fund. This is with leverage. It only becomes lucrative when you have a change in interest rates (lower mortgage payments leads to higher cash returns), demand (which is why AirBnB rentals are so popular), or regulations.

Of course, the occasional property will sell for well under market, but so will any other type of asset.

> Maybe it should generate 1-2% a net per year and in 50-100 year timeframe depreciate to zero.

I think you're suggesting that real estate should have a lower annual return than other forms of investing, which I agree with and - in general - is what actually happens.

Architects are not necessarily progressives. There was some debate a few years ago about whether Le Corbusier was a fascist. And although he wasn't a Nazi, there are other kinds of fascism, and the evidence strongly implies he leaned that way.

https://brill.com/view/journals/fasc/6/2/article-p196_196.xm...

Philip Johnson is another architect with far-right sympathies.

https://www.newyorker.com/culture/dept-of-design/philip-john...

Demagogues who want "classical architecture" are reliably fascist. Speer and Hitler both created a watered down classicism fined tuned for functional oppressiveness. But you can see "classicist fascism" throughout Europe, especially in Italy and Spain.

It's not any less monumental and oppressive than modernism. It has much more stone, much less glass, and - sometimes - slightly more interesting windows.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascist_architecture

I agree completely that the antidote to both is a human scale communalism. But they don't seem to teach that in most architecture schools. Or if they do, most students remain more interested in showy egotism than inspired functional, humane spaces.

> If your local supermarket created a virtual version of the store, you could just hold up your iPhone and see the the store through the AR camera. Instead of asking a human for help, you’d simply hold the phone up to something and some virtual 3D store worker would come and give you answers.

Honestly, at that point, why not have the phone identify and/or guide you to the products directly? Adding virtual 3D store workers seems like useless inefficiency[0].

I've been bouncing ideas in my head over the past weeks, about an app that would highlight the products you're searching for on a camera view of your phone, as you walk around the store (and over time building a database, allowing to navigate you to them). But when shopping last week, as I was walking back and forth between shelves while asking my wife over IM about some weird foodstuff she wants me to buy, I got accosted by the store manager, who sternly told me that making photos in the store was not allowed[1]. I wasn't making any, and he backed down, but this shows there are definitely social hurdles to overcome with this idea.

--

[0] - The virtual worker will likely be operated by someone in company's central (or, more likely, outsourced to cheap labor in some far part of the world), so the answers to all the questions they can answer come from some computers, which means they can be displayed to you without the pointless faux-human interaction. For all other questions you may have, you really want to talk to an actual human working in the very store you're in.

[1] - I asked "why" in a polite and roundabout way, and all I got was "some customers are making photos and we want them not to, because it ... er .... goes against store policy". No further explanation, and I don't know where I could find the "store policy" anyway.
I apologize. I misinterpreted your comment:

# w is in-scope here, but possibly nonexistent!
# Even in C++ it would at least *exist*!

because I don't see how bringing up C++'s semantics is relevant when Python has long raised an UnboundLocalError for similar circumstances.

If I understand you correctly, you believe Python should have introduced scoping so the "w" would be valid only in the if, elif, and else clauses, and not after the 'if' ends.

This would be similar to how the error object works in the 'except' clause:

>>> try:
... 1/0
... except Exception as err:
... err = "Hello"
...
>>> err
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'err' is not defined

If so, I do not have the experience or insight to say anything meaningful.

That kind of silly comparison doesn't make any sense, and it's only a maneuver to skip any serious discussion when one is trapped without arguments.
