Does it? I can't make my microwave work with the door open either. The whole "point" of a TPM is that the user can create, use, and delete keys inside of it, with the promise that the keys won't come out. TPMs are just smart cards. Would you say that you don't have control over a smart card because you can't get the keys out of it? I'd say I DO have control over the smartcard, because I authorize and de-authorize the keys held within, and the whole point of a smartcard is to permit authorization of a physical entity, which requires the physical entity to resist leaking its keys.

To me, operating with a well designed model, when and if I choose, with the ability for me to shut it down at any time - that's control.
Some theories have been posted and I agree with those, and think there's also a subset of people who assume if a product is being sold in a store or by some company that it is automatically safe and works because they assume the government or Walmart, or whomever wouldn't let them sell it otherwise.
It's semantics, but I hope that you mean that, in an ideal world, those things wouldn't exist. There's nothing ideal to me about living in a global totalitarian nanny state.

It's also not completely black and white. For example, the "science" behind homeopathy is absurd, and the medication is literally just water. That doesn't mean it can't be effective at treating someone's malady as a placebo, though. Little children with a sore throat may refuse to nap until they get "medicine".

Many adults also struggle with accepting inaction as the best course of action. If paying someone to stab them with little needles lowers their blood pressure during a stressful time, then perhaps it was worth it?
His argument makes sense and I think he's completely right. However, his argument also includes, "If the depth prediction is arbitrarily close to lidar". So we have to ask ourselves a bunch of questions related to it. Can we get it close enough? How feasible, reasonable, and cheap is that? How can we tell if it's good enough? And I'm sure there's more.
TL;DR: reason number one million why you should be using Free software whenever you can: you don't feel helpless about bugs.
What if you're a chemist at a tobacco company trying to make the cigarettes people are already addicted to more healthy?
Agree, it's a straight up reduction in code readability for all future maintainers so a single original developer can avoid doing a thing their IDE probably would do for them automatically. (I use "introduce variable" to create most variables automatically of the correct type).

Yes I know the IDE can also reveal what type a var is, but you generally read code in lots of places that aren't IDE enabled.

It also adds more work for the compiler. I'm not sure the effect on Java compile types yet but Kotlin and Swift have both suffered from slow compile times and this seems to be a factor.

I'm guessing that most of the larger codebases out there will add "no var allowed" to their style guides within the next few years.

Google doesn't sell scooters and food delivery -- other companies do, and advertise about that via Google.

Google's ads service is something those companies (the advertisers) want.

And at the same time, Google has been acting unethically.
In short, RFC 3339 has all the useful formats we think of when we invoke ISO 8601. The ISO standard has those too, as well as a seemingly endless list of additional obscure and esoteric formats almost no one uses.
It was a fake rate anyway and they only moved it around a little, what Jedi Blue did was far more criminal and egregious. The ad networks act with impunity, for example, they know when a user has installed an app with no connection to them and then they serve that user ads for the app and then attribute the install to themselves! out and out fraud but they'll just claim the algo is really complex and our ML/AI doesn't have intent.
I think it's important to have inspired ideas if you're going to follow a project through to completion.

I've met my personal goals with side projects with the following criteria:
- I really really want something
- It doesn't exist

I've got 2 iOS apps that I built with the above formula - one is free and gets about 100 downloads a week, the other is paid and makes about $80/week. It helps that I'm working in a niche I know well, and where people spend money.

Don't try to make something generic. Even if nobody else ends up using it at least you've made something interesting.

> My philosophy is why bother to offend if you can avoid it.

Implying saying something someone might find offensive requires active intent.

OP clearly isn't trying to be offensive. It's ethically wrong to imply, suggest, or act as if they are. The commenter doesn't like the word pimp, and wants others to feel the same distaste they're afflicted by. What the OP intended to do is irrelevant.

More directly why bother to offend if you cant help it. Because someone will happily take offense to anything. So to avoid it would mean not interacting at all. Which is exactly why we can't have nice things. OP is trying to be nice sharing something they feel is useful. Only to be be accosted with the accusation they're intentionally trying to be offensive. If you're going to make something someone will find useful, and it only costs some offense to someone trying to find a way to feel offensive, you then try to cause offence.

This is a fair criticism. Java Instant should be the standard, and anything that doesn’t use it as its base should be deprecated. I have to support older JDKs, so I don’t know. The article starts with Java 9, and Instant was included with 8, so it is not a fault of the article.

That's probably true of quite a few languages actually. I mean if there is any library you want to be as fast as possible, it's the standard library. Take python for example, a big chunk of the standard library is actually written in c (although there is often an equivalent implementation in python). In rust the standard library uses quite a bit of unsafe code, and even nightly only features and standard-library-only features that you don't usually need in real code, because you will be calling something in core or std that does it for you, and has been rigorously checked to be safe. The java standard library has parts that are written in c++. Etc. Etc.

We were granted a notable exception, which allows us to keep a distance with parked cards in areas where speed limit is 50km/h or less.
We're already in a zero-sum game, society won't 'like' any of the things that come next. What goes up must come down, and I get the feeling that we grossly underestimate how much data is in the hands of third-parties, private holdings and sovereign governments with their own interests. That dam will burst, it's just easier to tell the audience that the Internet is a Titanic: too big to fail, right?

The sentiment towards Apple is just disappointment today. Their 'ecosystem' approach has had detrimental effects on the consumer electronics market, and has given them a frightening amount of power over the flow of information. Apple's treatment has been generally irresponsible, though: they do nothing to assuage the general public of what's running in their OSes, rather choosing to occasionally throw out unverifiable whitepapers of how these systems might work, but we've got no way to verify that. For a company that claims 'privacy is a human right', I was really hoping to dig into something more profound.

The biggest issue is that we're taking Apple at face-value. They're documented liars, and their insistence on being right contrasts with their tacit rejection of transparency. They operate without accountability, and the only people keeping them in check have a mutual interest in creating a monopoly. Their factories are staffed by political prisoners, and they're the only FAANG company who's comfortable operating in China's homeland. It's crazy how people forget this with nothing more than a little marketing and some diversity in their iPhone commercial.

I expect better from a company with more money in the world than anyone else. But maybe this is yet another reminder that shareholders don't care about your security, privacy or peace-of-mind.
I was about to post the same but here you are. The only time I would study std:: namespace would be is I needed to write some generic library. Trying to learn C++ by reading std:: can make one's head explode.

Easy, you single out one of them and the rest are afraid to back them up.

I was just studying a case where a person was accused of a crime, and there was a massive media campaign slinging dirt at him. He needed several people to testify to his innocence, but everyone was afraid of being associated with him and of consequences that might have for their career. He was sentences to 8 years in jail.

On appeal the media crazy died down, so the folks did testify, and he was acquitted, but he spent two years in jail for no reason.

"All of these are criticisms of heavily centralized power strucrures. It's not like everyone in Italy had to come to a consensus to burn someone at the stake."

You are contradicting yourself - lynching and burning people at the stake are local decisions. They happen when there is no centralised power.

Centralised power structures usually follow rules, however flawed they are. Clauses like this don't even have rules, they can just remove you because they hate you.
Yeah, awesome. Have to say this is the best version of something like this that I have tried. The packet capture didn't seem to be RTP, are you using libwebrtc under the hood?

The system seems to have the settings right for realtime collab. In fact I found it much better for chatting too if you can guarantee they have a headset and good mic - I hate current-gen AEC algorithms. Interested to see how it fares in a 3+ participant setting.

I had a go at jamming with my brother yesterday. We had to adjust down the delay to 2ms (I think default was 5ms) in order to counteract the "lagging" effect you get when you lock into the remote beat. Once we had that tuned it worked really well. We would occasionally suffer burst losses, but you can play through it and it's still synced afterward which is the best you can do with an unreliable network.

Some feature requests:
- Join room by name (we were confused that there was a different code than the name we chose)
- Auto register new audio devices when you plug them in/edit in settings.
- An easier way to join with multiple audio inputs. We had trouble setting up our instrument, but also adding a mic for chatting.
- Local recording of your end with some shared sync markers, that you could manually or automatically sync up post-hoc

The use case I use WebRTC for is slightly different, where quality >> latency , so we have it tuned to the other end and run the full gambit of FEC, ARQ, packet redundancy etc. Interesting to hear about other's solutions though!

>>>What makes Dune and Foundation scifi and not just feudalism in space? The Foundation TV show bores me to death

A LOT of science fiction is "X in space". The Hammer's Slammers stories are "Vietnam in space". The Honor Harrington novels are "Napoleonic naval warfare in space".

I listened to Asimov's Foundation trilogy on Audible in the past 2 years and greatly enjoyed it. I hate the TV series. At this point I'm just watching the episodes to see how bad the trainwreck can get. Villenueve's Dune was like a palate cleanser for me Saturday. It's been 20 years since I read the book, but I grew up in the 90's with David Lynch's movie and always really enjoyed it. Dune 2021 felt like a faithful book rendition with some of the best visual/stylistic influences from David Lynch, but without his worst excesses of weirdness.

>>>The last time someone tried to pull this conquering stuff was almost 100 years ago and it was doomed from the start.

Arguably none of the conquest-minded leaders since the late 1700s have been successful, almost always because they've been fighting against larger economies of similar technological/industrial development. Also, offensive technology has become so destructive that closely-fought wars leave too much of the "target" economies completely devastated and not much of a prize. That doesn't mean a) tech won't develop to shift the balance towards protection (such as the shields in Dune) b) the next megalomaniac might start from a better existing powerbase, such as, say....China in 2050.

I use Fastmail and have been very happy with them. They have been trying to deal with a DDoS attack from around the time this story broke. I initially didn't think anything of the timing, but given that this story is _literally about potentially criminal conspiracy_ it tickles the part of my brain that wants to indulge in other conspiracy theories -- e.g. someone connected to Google thinking "quick, we'd better make it look like a bad idea to try moving off GMail".
I'm not familiar with Minecraft, but is there a way to export/save all this effort?
As a software maintainer/distributor, I don’t think we at Red Hat are the ones responsible to publish data sheets. That’s the job of the hardware manufacturer/vendor. When they decide to only offer it in non-public ways but allow us to help with getting the drivers upstream AND open source, it is a deal you might not like, but I, as a pragmatist can accept. We’re not the only Linux distributor working this way. Ubuntu/Canonical and SUSE don’t work that different from us on this. Again. You may not like it, and I understand that, but it has lead to making Linux a first class OS on Lenovo with an upstream first goal. I like it that way, even if it can become even better and more open.
> We as a society, want to make laws

I'm definitely not convinced that laws can protect people from injustice. Rules can if they're consented by everyone (while laws are imposed by a minority of self-serving politicians).

In some communes i know, an overtly racist person would not dare to join because there's already established people of color in the community and a strong commitment to various forms of decolonization. In others, they may slip in, but will get very rough feedback if they're open about it. Of course racism can be more low-key and normalized and i've seen my share of that, but that's definitely not welcomed either in most communities. I'm not saying racist communities (racism being part of their identity) don't exist, but i've never seen any one and i'm personally not interested to see one... (though to be fair i'd much rather have them live their dream white patriarchal life in a corner rather than try to impose it on everyone else)

It's definitely valid for a commune to recognize as a goal to fight against racism. It can take many forms, but just like any fundamental principle it must be decided early on and approved by consensus in order to become part of the commune's essence if you will. Of course, if you build a so-called apolitical community (such as a property-based housing coop) and don't take a stand, then you're doomed to repeat the same schemes and mistakes we witness everyday around us in society. Of course political communes make mistakes too, but there's always times and venues to address the issues and learn from the mistakes.

PS: A consensus is not a majority. One dissenting person can break a consensus, while 45% can fail to break a majority.

If you want https you can just run certbot. It will bootstrap the nginx config. I dislike programs that change the configuration automatically, and thus run dehydrated instead of certbot, but running apt install nginx certbot and some certbot incantation to make it bootstrap your domains is not really any more bothersome, than having to figure out how docker works, and how to manage changes to my nginx config with it over time, etc..

Unfortunately, we have decades of laws written overly broad that make huge swaths of behavior into crimes, with the people passing them saying "yeah, but we won't use them that way". At least to me, this is abhorrent and such laws should never be passed, but here we are. If all laws were enforced every time they applied, the vast majority of the population would be in jail.

I'll be honest there aren't really any complete learning resources even for those that do know C. For what there is the language is changing whatever you read in documentation might not be true between stable and master at the moment. The stdlib source is probably the best reference but even reading strictly from that it doesn't mean you'll learn to make code that works it means you'll learn to make code that's correct. There are plenty of known compiler and language issues on GitHub and the self hosted compiler is still being written.

At the moment since Zig isn't complete you aren't going to find documentation that is either. Particularly for newcomers.
You’re right, may have misunderstood. If that’s the case, my bad. Text can be hard sometimes.

> to just kick people out

Neither does this place. It can only happen by consensus: that is, if everyone agrees. Not some majority, but everyone.

Obviously the question of what were to happen to your shares if you did get kicked out is unanswered, but aside from that, if you want to be able to continue living somewhere where everyone hates you enough that they are all calling for you to get kicked out, then maybe this community isn't for you, you can have that by living basically anywhere else. If you're even a little involved in the community, then it would be pretty difficult to get everyone else to work against you to kick you out. If every one of my neighbours were to conspire against me right now, where the houses are privately owned, I bet they could get me to leave by being hostile enough.

I do agree that a system of individual rights might be a more appropriate model for handling this, but I also don't know their full set of bylaws.

Minecraft data is stored in a mix of JSON and a well documented/understood custom format. It's even documented in the same wiki that players use to learn how to play: https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Anvil_file_format

The world files are saved unencrypted on disk and can be backed up, edited outside the game, and even converted easily to another format if another game somehow dethrones Minecraft in this niche.

There are also a variety of viewers that render Minecraft worlds to map images or interactive maps a-la Google Maps.

Finally the official Minecraft launcher allows players to choose any archived version of the game instead of forcing the latest and greatest. The only missing versions are very early development builds from 2009/2010. This ensures that even if a newer Minecraft version is released that is incompatible with this effort, the last compatible version will always be available. (Players can and do archive these versions themselves as well, this is not reliant on the official servers)
What is novel about Go? It just seems like C repacked with a garbage collector and basic concurrent programming support to me. Which both weren't novel even when Go was designed.
