Exactly. Looking towards the language to keep you safe is essentially client side security, it's the memory model that isn't safe: dumping everything in on executable allows for all kinds of tricks to be performed. Only a micro kernel has with the present architectures the ability to isolate one driver from another in such a way that those drivers can not accidentally or purposefully attack each others address space.

Another advantage is that there is no such thing as a kernel crash, worst case you get a device driver that needs restarting. The whole loadable module model is broken by design and replicating it in Rust isn't going to solve that particular problem (and it isn't one that Rust is trying to solve).
You explored it. That's it. Turns out there's less of it than you imagined.

There are, of course, plenty of sites that you could visit. Most of them will be incredibly boring. Years ago you found that interesting just because it was all new, but you don't any more because you've seen similar things already.

I suspect that most of those "5 to 6 sites" are aggregators like Hacker News where people seek out new stuff (or at least, new to them) and post it. Most of that new stuff is dull, because most stuff is dull.

This seems to be incentivising the customer to shop in-person instead of online and seems spectacularly uninspired, they could have simply waived taxes on books for companies headquartered in France? Or really anything that isn't simply forcing the customer to pay shipping?

The first two are not well solved by Matrix as the default client is far less user friendly than the proprietary alternatives.

Storage space might be an issue on very low end phones but these days phones are starting with 128gb of storage which no IM app is close to filling. Mobile OSs are extremely good at sleeping apps and can receive messages while the app is not running at all using notification services. I would say that resource bloat is actually much more of an issue on desktop where you have 10 instances of chrome running and none can be closed while still receiving notifications.
I have not looked at filing separately for many years, but I ran the numbers back then and the result was the same.

> Don't lie or exaggerate. We do not have "vaccine or fuck off." This has never been done.

Here's NY's.

"Children attending day care and pre-K through 12thgrade in New York State must receive all required doses of vaccines on the recommended schedule in order to attend or remain in school. This is true unless they have a valid medical exemption to immunization. This includes all public, private, and religious schools. A medical exemption is allowed when a child has a medical condition that prevents them from receiving a vaccine. There are no nonmedical exemptions to school vaccine requirements in NYS."

It's true, but the opposite strategy - sugarcoat the truth to avoid raising uncomfortable questions about the status quo - also breeds mistrust in education and institutions. All we can really try to do is present our best view of the truth, with all the uncertainties around that. Does smoking cause lung cancer? That certainly appears to be where the weight of evidence sits, and it would be a lie of omission to avoid saying so. Should you quit smoking? That's up to you.
Writing code that generates and compiles code in Lisp is just like writing any other kind of code.

Writing a C program that generates and compiles C code is a major pita in comparison, same goes for most other languages.

Even if you slap a different syntax on top, it's still a Sunday walk in the park to write a custom compiler.

>The market share of iOS also has increased a bit, and iOS does not allow ad blocking very easily. You have to configure some sorta DNS-based ad blocking, which is harder than the traditional desktop firefox/chrome adblockers to install.

Are you considering installing a content blocker not easy? Or not ad blocking? Firefox Focus is free and a few taps away from the app store.

Seems easier to me than installing ublock origin on desktops. Which people can easily be misled into installing ublock, or adblocker, or any the other scammy ones that do not really block ads or do something else nefarious. It is harder for a non technical user to get fooled by an iOS content blocker.

Drilling cost is usually estimated for drilling in sedimentary rock with assumptions about how casing is run ;)

It is possible that drilling 30,000' of granite has conditions that make the estimation model irrelevant. 5 km isn't really deep enough, anyway. My next post will cover the thermo. It is pretty dang hard to get down to anything approaching $50/MWh. Definitely need more than cheap drilling.

It's funny that we still pin Amazon against bookstores - I was under the impression that Amazon is shipping _everything_ those days, and that books are not what most people go to Amazon for any more.
I’m saying a car is easier to predict because of dead reckoning. With less frequent updates your actions still feel fluid because the cars momentum can’t change a whole lot between updates.

Say you’re driving a car in a straight line, there’s very good odds that in .25 seconds you’ll still be going straight so your predicted line will be very close to the real line. With players you can’t guarantee that, they could zig zag, turn around, jump, etc much more likely to change and require prediction reconciliation.
But not “not only in social mindshare, but in ad revenue”.

Social is just (fom a business perspective) a tool for getting an audience. The thing both Google and Facebook are selling is advertisement placement. Winning in one area of free “services” to build an audience to deliver ads to but not winning in actually selling ads…isn’t winning.
so much this - you can make a service 100% secure - by shutting it down. But if you want to stay online and be secure at the same time, there's always some resource tradeoff between the two
My experience tells me that the practical outcome of this new regulation is that shipping will become more expensive for books.

It will not prevent customers to stop shopping online, so no effect for legacy bookstore.s

Like most goverment proposed solutions: This will actually create a new problem not fix the origintal intented cause.
Sure but that's the opposite trend from density, is it not? A dual 64-core EPYC Rome machine - and we know they are using these for web search, from published research papers - has 400W of CPU TDP alone, which is a more than double the per-host TDP of a Westmere EP (as an example of a retired platform). So if anything there is more empty space in the racks in 2021 than there would have been in 2011, based on the design power load of existing buildings.
Im not saying it is a problem. But it is something to be aware of. That's all.
I can't read the full article thanks to the paywall so maybe I'm missing it, but: where is the urban protectionism here?

More generally, my limited understanding of French politics is that they have a very strong agricultural interest that's disproportionate to the populace, similar to the US. The limited news I read about French domestic politics indicates that their government generally accommodates and subsidizes non-urban citizens, much like ours does.

Edit: Here's the (Amazon) quote about rural concerns:

> Amazon said the legislation, adopted by parliament but not yet enacted, would punish those in rural areas who cannot easily visit a bookstore and rely on delivery.

No, it doesn't capture all of that already.

Please mind that google started to show search results in a fashion that if search "A company" then the first link is the ad pointing to the "A company" website and only next is the same exact link to that company website. This is pure cheating and I'm amazed how they can both: laugh at advertisers face and keep it legal.
And smartphones didn't improve much after Jobs died. 120hz display and wireless charging is all of the innovation in last 2 years. Smartphone is now just a fashion statement and not really a technology.
The key question is: Instead of what?

When the govt spends money on something, it is asking/telling people to spend their effort on that task/product, instead of something else that they would/could have been doing instead.

So if the govt spends $80k of people's effort on the rural line, what doesn't get done as a result?

I see your point, but I have some half-formed doubts. I apologize for a possibly incoherent reply.

> The independent dev community could change this, but it seems permanently attached to the wrong end of the telescope, looking at computing from the comfort of its tool- and toy-making treadmill.

In defense of the tool makers: the reason corporate IT can cater to regular users so well is because they can throw a lot of warm bodies at the problem. The tools we use in this industry are shit, but it doesn't matter when you can use hordes of developers as a protein substitute for better tooling.

I believe the road for "independent dev" software usable by masses starts with better tools, and better tools for making tools.

Additionally, I think "most of the biggest innovations in computing" actually happened because of toy-making treadmill. Even in the startup world, a common advice is to scratch your own itch - it often leads to something that's widely useful.

> "Why should an ordinary user care about this?" isn't asked nearly as often as it should be. And "Don't you understand the tech is fun to play with?" is not the right answer.

In defense of the "independent dev community": perhaps we care a little bit too much about ordinary users? The way I see it, most modern software is dumbed down, lowest-common-denominator toys, whose sole purpose is to sell well and/or sell their users out. Tech-savvy people, and even less savvy users who care about getting things done, are now considered a niche too small to care for. While there are some businesses still working on "power user" tools, the platforms themselves - operating systems - are being optimized for unsophisticated users, dumbed down and locked down.

Again, I believe most of the biggest innovations, the ones helping everyone, start with engineers scratching their own itch. To the extent it's becoming harder, all users lose out.
That's true. The alternative is a bland world of platitudes where no one ever says anything and all the conflicts are fully made up (as in the case of over-the-top villains for a cartoon purportedly about being good stewards of the environment).
Word of warning: they emailed me my password to their web store in plain text. As in, my actual password, not some 1-time random generated password. This means they didn't follow any security practice at all in the handling of their passwords. I don't know if their security incompetence extends to the actual desktop client, but I wouldn't trust them.

Do you want to live in temperature-controlled rooms, monitored by the government to ensure that no transmissible diseases are around?

You may have a knee-jerk reaction to my question, thinking it has no basis in reality. Meanwhile, in Australia:

They're going to force people who quarantine at home (rather than a government-mandated quarantine "hotel" with guards) to install and use an app. Facial recognition, GPS tracking in your own home. And it will randomly ping you, and if you don't respond within 15 minutes it'll send the police to your house to conduct an in-person quarantine check. Source:

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/09/pandemic-a...

It's not far off from your premise that a totalitarian regime would make this control the norm in the name of "don't be a vector of transmissible diseases."

The government could deliver meals to you! And let you out for exercise once a day as long as you stay within a few miles of your box! Does this still sound delusional? Those are effectively the terms that have already been imposed on people in Australia over the last year. They can arbitrarily lock you in your apartment building for up to weeks, no one allowed to leave. Sources:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-53316097

"For six days, only one person from a household will be allowed to leave home each day, and only for essential reasons, authorities said. Schools, universities, cafes and restaurants are closed, weddings and funerals are banned and mask-wearing is mandatory.

“We want to go hard, go early, but get out of it as quickly as we can,” State Premier Steven Marshall said of the measures."

This is from last year by the way. They went hard but didn't get out of it at all judging by what's still the policy in Australia. And over the last year they still had their requirement about not leaving far from your box (oops I mean house) when exercising. Nobody could leave certain cities, even.

These examples are just scratching the surface of why it's naive to formulate your worldview based on a moral righteousness about "don't be a vector for disease." It's dangerous rhetoric even if it feels good in online posting to be "better" than others this way. Don't buy into the dishonest media narrative about "vaxxed vs unvaxxed."

> Client side scanning of inappropriate pictures is of content you'd ordinarily be sending them as anyways as well. The proposal was only to do this if cloud services were/are enabled.

I have an iPhone. The Photos app keeps telling me that it's unable to upload things to iCloud because my account is full.

I never turned it on. I never intended to upload any photos to the cloud.

I haven't signed into my iCloud account for years because I don't use it. Nonetheless, iCloud has a magical way of uploading things to something that I've literally never used.

Next you'll be arguing that people using Windows should have simply turned off online logins if they didn't want their Windows computer to phone home. Bullshit, Microsoft shoves that shit down people's throats.

So your statement of "you'd ordinarily be sending them as anyways as well" is ludicrous. That's deliberately burying your head into he sand against the fact that big business sets defaults to settings that users often have no idea were set or are buried behind huge warnings against turning them off.
I absolutely _love_ chances to read or listen in on any instance where a judge provides feedback in the US legal system. For reasons I do not understand, there seems to be a strong culture among judges of constantly dishing out statements which somehow always feel like "sick burns". The few encounters with IRL judges I've had also had this quality, where the judge would be totally willing to frame people really harshly in their questions, or just outright denounce someone. If anyone has any insight into this (I bet there are some good books about "legal culture and judge culture" that'd be real interesting) please do chime in!

TBH, that seems like more of a rant than something resembling policy analysis. It's also quite foolish -- loans are given out secured by some asset more valuable than the loan. That means when you die, the asset goes to the bank. Might as well set up a page advocating for people to get reverse mortgages and try to (incorrectly) frame it as a tax revolt.
