>> (I was actually surprised to see the Supreme Court pushing back on the government--I didn't realize India had such checks and balances left.)

The new assertive Indian supreme court is after the new CJI took office. The previous CJI was very pro government - for certain reasons.
Not a PHP developer myself, but in my area most web development is still done in PHP. The modern PHP language is a lot like any other high level language now, but the main attraction of PHP are (still) the massively popular (and stable) open-source frameworks such as Symfony, Laravel, WordPress, Magento etc. A big supply of developers and high development pace of custom apps through such frameworks is why it will remain the defacto choice for a lot of webdev shops (at least in my area).
> I can't help but read all the interjections from the core developers as a strong indication of why all these sorts of things tend to fail on the vine.

I think this might be a misunderstanding of the nature of the event that these notes are generated from, unless I'm misunderstanding your objection. The point of this Q&A as I saw it was to explore the feasibility of the idea and fully flesh out the costs and benefits so that we can make informed decisions about how to proceed.

The "random interjections" are notes of caution about what trade-offs need to be made. For example, it is very easy to overlook "dark matter" code because we don't have access to it, but it's almost certainly the majority of Python code out there. It is also not a complete deal-breaker to say that some change could break unknown proprietary extensions — otherwise we'd never be able to change anything; the key is that the changes have to be worth it. A lot of that depends on details — if it's easy to update C extensions for nogil mode (even if they were designed without parallelism in mind), then making breaking changes to remove the GIL might not be so bad. If nogil mode requires that most C extensions totally overhaul their reference counting and C API usage and the changes require restructuring code rather than something that can be done with automated search and replace, that's a much bigger cost and will probably come with a long term fork of the ecosystem (which is a huge pain to deal with) and it might not be worth it.

Avoiding this sort of criticism will not make the underlying problems go away, and I think everyone involved understood that this meeting was intended to bring to light any objections that might guide the work towards ultimate resolution.
Personally I think it is unethical not to leak it. Technology is the best way to fight surveillance-oppression.
Not really, Bitcoins transaction fees, processing times and rate limits have been well known for a decade. If you think Bitcoin was ‘supposed’ to buy a cup of coffee that’s on you. The rest of us have been using it successfully for much bigger things.
It strikes me as one of those things that society is perfectly happy self-regulating
> Hell, the only thing that's waning is public perception of science and that seems to be a deliberate political attack.

No doubt there are political attacks on science, but it's also true that science is often politicized and also corporatized, both by forces outside of science and those who practice it.
Removing carbon is also not enough. We absolutely need both.
There are, in fact, a few things that windows does better straight out of the box than most linux distributions. Multiple monitors, high res monitors, printers, gaming and Bluetooth come to mind.

That's not to say that those things can't work in Linux, or that some distributions don't work better than others. It is also not to say that windows is without its own problems.

However, most users who aren't willing to become technically savvy will have a better time with windows.

> The operating system we use should not bother us and control us and treat us like idiots.

I fully agree, for experienced users. Sadly the majority are still tech illiterate and are (for a lack of experience) "idiots". Windows had a chance to make an extremely easy to use operating system, and blew it by turning it into an ad platform with a slew of unpleasant other sharp edges if you pull the covers back.
I'm trying to say the market would judge Ford, primarily, by its quarterly environmental impact instead of its quarterly finances. Stock goes up when they've sequestered carbon, stock goes down when they're burning carbon.

And the preface was attempting to say that judging a company by it's quarterly finances is already arbitrary, and flawed, and a relatively new concept. I can't find the link but I think it was suggested and socially adopted only in the last 40 years as the True Metric to evaluate companies.
> No sorry, that is nonsense. The reason for low quality was their political system.

It contributed, but no, it wasn't the only, or even main, reason.

> If near term future is 10-20 years we absolutely could.

It's not near-term future, though. We don't even have 10 years, soon it will be too late to even finish a nuclear power plant if we started it.
Why would you add an sh file to the desktop? Honestly the mess of shit on the desktop is one of the things I hate most about Windows.

Usually sh files you download are installers... And even then it's not the standard way of installing things (.deb/.rpm or flatpak files are).

You download, open your downloads folder, right click to make it executable, and double click it. Literally exact same workflow as Windows (because who on earth would download things to the desktop instead of downloads folder...).

But honestly, last time I downloaded an sh script that wasn't for a programming thing was years ago. Chrome, Steam, any game or consumer-type software is basically always a single click install or in the software centre.

Edit - also, there's always going to be non-standard Linux workflows. But if you just download Fedora or Ubuntu and keep things default, it's a very easy, straightforward experience.
If you use Hugo for anything else than just basic blog posts, you're eventually gonna have to A) read the source to understand how stuff works and B) use their/Golangs horrible templating language. Using a binary doesn't make you avoid that.
Yep, and it's perfectly rational for them to look at it that way, unfortunately.
"Next WordPress Alternative"

The moment you do this, you are setting the bar way too high. Lot of companies/products have tried to beat WordPress over the years.

I would focus on other benefits and go from there. If you truly want to be a WordPress alternative, you have at least 10 years to try.

No one is going to ship lithium ores overseas or down highways to a processing plant, regardless of what the property owner imagines. That burns a lot of diesel and costs a lot of money to move a product that’s over 90% unwanted dirt. The economics aren’t there. Purification on site is much more efficient. If they can’t purify it in Maine they’ll mine it somewhere else.
> All of that recent fight against FB is driven by them “not censoring enough”

This is a gross distortion of the problem. Facebook has been caught actively promoting conspiracy theories and societal discord because it increases engagement (in my case it drove me from the site but the plural of anecdote is not data). Most recently it was reported that “angry” reactions were weighted five times more than “likes”.

This is not just backseat driving concerns, Facebook’s also is a major driver of our culture and societal values whether we like it or not. Nor is it Monday-morning quarterbacking, these concerns were raised by Facebook’s own employees. To let them abuse our social harmony for ad revenue is short sighted.
Actually it is good to be vaccinated even if you have already had a disease. This confers greater immunity than the infection or just the vaccine.

Whether or not the vaccine or natural immunity is better protection isn't as clear as suggested either, generally the vaccines will give more reliable resistance.

Please read: https://www.nebraskamed.com/COVID/covid-19-studies-natural-i...:

"Natural immunity can be spotty. Some people can react vigorously and get a great antibody response. Other people don't get such a great response," says infectious diseases expert Mark Rupp, MD. "Clearly, vaccine-induced immunity is more standardized and can be longer-lasting."
I have offsite fonts blocked, so I wonder if I would have seen these anyways. From that response, it looks like it would just include a webfont directly from Google.
As far as I recall, it was never explained in the book either. At some point it clicked, but I don't think it was in the first book. Maybe it was explained in the glossary that people mention here, but my books didn't have one.
I love bookstores. The best one I've ever been to was in Bath, England. I'm afraid that I don't remember the name, as it was over 15 years ago. Based on an internet search it was probably either Mr. B's Emporium or Bath Old Books. I was very impressed by their collection of old and rare science books. I picked up one book on Electrons (+ and -) by Millikan, and one on Strong and Electroweak Interactions by Bohm and Joos (but not the famous Bohm and Joos). There were much more interesting ones, but far outside my budget at the time.

I don't know, but I'd seriously doubt Amazon could make a dent on its business considering it's French and has been selling online almost as long as Amazon.

LinkedIn would be fine if the type of jobs I wanted reach out to me, but that doesn't happen.

Their job board would even be decent if the fact that nearly half the results are "sponsored" and unrelated to what I searched for. That and the fact that companies with remote roles have decided to spam post the exact same remote job, except changing the location to every single metro in the country, worsening the signal to noise ration even more.
Wow what a sad legal workaround. This content should be free anyway. Capitalism promotes anti-science.

Amazons book selling business has been getting worse. It’s hard to search hard to find books, or books with common names. Shipping times are nothing special.

It’s funny how “book selling” went from being Amazon’s core business to a distraction.

Edit: I recommend EBay if you want to buy a physical tome.

Exactly, it's likely a very specific very tight contract. It wont be just sitting in a consumer AWS data center.
The Golem of Prague as well.
Agreed, and to add to your comment, the cost of securely hosting makes it not worthwhile to host at home.
It would be great, if the certificate was enough to show at the boarding gate to be able to travel. However, this is not the case – the countries still require to fill long poorly developed forms with a lot of private information. Some of these forms (Latvian forms) doesn't even check the certificate, only asks to check the box that you have one.

It could be worse without the certificate for sure. But I don't think that all this extra effort to set up the system, to deal with falsifications etc. was worth it. The EU could simply make a law requiring to accept the vaccination proof of any country and that would be it.
To be fair stuff like Design Patterns, SOLID, Domain-Driven Design etc. come up in a lot of interviews for "business application development" roles in other languages as well, especially C# and Java. What's ironic is that often on your first day on the job, you'll be put to work on a codebase which violates those principles in a lot of ways.
Tesla’s suppliers are Ganfeng Lithium, China, mined in China and Australia. Kidman Resources, Australia, same, processed in China. Pure Energy Minerals, Canada, uses Chinese processing as of 2018.

Your Tesla’s lithium was likely mined in Australia, tanker shipped to China, it leaves China as lithium hydroxide and may be final assembled into batteries in USA or Canada. Like almost all materials for “green” products, lithium, composites, aluminum, microchips, the western world has boxed themselves out of making these things. So China does it where they set their own carbon standards, and can manipulate value, pay, trade, subsidies.

There is a ton more to the conversation when someone says “we just need stricter cap and trade” because China knows the grip over everyone else they have. I rarely see people who know how things are made make that argument with any practical effectiveness, unless it ends with “we go to war”.

EDIT: So, to the topic, does it make sense to mine in Maine and ship to China for processing? Is this new reserve that good?

But that doesn’t still make the specification “standardised” for anyone else.

I hate arguing semantics because it’s usually a worthless argument. But the problem here is people are specifically arguing that Reproducible Builds have standardised something when they have not. If you still want to use their specification then that’s grand. You don’t need a specification standardised for it to be relevant.

However on the very specific point of whether this is a standard, I’m yet to see any proof that anyone has actually standardised the specification. All I’m reading is “but they say it is” and frankly that’s not enough to make a standard.
Windows 11 barely a few weeks old and has some updates. Not sure why force reboot is a concern. The notification try gets a few notifications that are dumb, i'll admit, but my MacOS does the same -telling me to use their browser and forcing me at every bend to use an icloud account.

Ads in the start menu? those are apps... silly... sure.. worthwhile of a rage fest? nah..

Ads in lock screen? never seen anything such... i get a lock screen that says what information about the image and how to find out more.

Ads in file manger? wut?

Ads when you change default browser? wut?

INstalled MS teams? yeah, bummer.. but welcome to modern OS's that all include a default messaging app/service (consume os's that is)

Telemetry? can be stopped and blocked and there are tools and services to do this. In Next DNS, Google and Apple have as much, if not more telemetry per device.
I'm not sure I see how that solves the problem, beautifully or otherwise. How are links constructed?
Julia isn't a normal jit either. most jits make speculative guesses based on observed patterns and then has to deoptimize occasionally. Julia only compiles based on type information, so in many ways it is closer to running an ahead of time compiler at runtime. because of this, Julia is often called just ahead of time compiled.
Urbit Apocalypse
I'm excited to try this.

I love Jekyll so much that I've foolishly tried to pigeonhole it into situations where I really needed a CMS.

I also hate the drudgery of building websites one line of HTML, CSS, and JS at a time.
I've seen it a few times, almost always in the exact sort of thread you can imagine, but I'd say most flags I see are probably deserved.
It's worse, not on a "debasement of the currency" basis, but on a surveillance and censorship basis.

On a systemic basis it is slightly more dangerous than cash just because it reinforces the notion that bank deposits are valued at their face value and are thus a cash equivalent. But banks can fail or become insolvent, and because the money sovereign has decided that bank deposits are equivalent to cash, it is obligated to maintain that (through bailouts or other support), while at the same time banks are for-profit enterprises that are taking non-negligible risks (and sometimes explosively tail-heavy risks) to earn income based on their deposits.

I wish I had some frozen in time from the 80s/90s. How much did they really get worse vs how much are my kid rose tinted glasses clouding my judgement?
If it collapses that far, then I think there's a chance that we could see the old Depression farm sale paradigm where the community would gather at the auction to make sure the only bidder would be the evicted owner so they could buy it back for a penny. Or we could see complete overthrow of the system.
Yes, but my point is that he's not a saviour of the Freemen at all. It's clear in the books that they are better armed, better adapted and their numbers is severely underestimated by the Harkonnen. At no point in the first book are the Freemen truly at risk of being decimated.

This is a fine line to thread and I haven't seen the movie so I can't comment as to how the handled it, but while the Freemen don't have interplanetary domination in mind and Paul does lead them to Jihad, it's not like Avatar where the native are being exterminated and some random guy leads them to military success.
What I read was they were seeing fake certificates - but these could be created by compromising the vax registration application and certificate download process.

It could be done by compromising a vaccine clinic tablet and issuing new records into the main WHO CoVAX record database under arbitrary names, and then collecting the fake passport image from the web interface citizens use.

I don't think you need to compromise the root certificate or signing keys to do this, there are easier ways. (But if I could put in a request for a Josef K., and an A. Solzhenitsyn novelty certificate, it would be a nice to have on my phone.)
In Bedford MA there was a store called (IIRC) Softpro which was all software/CS/etc. I was sad when it closed, but what good is a store if the only time you can access it is once a quarter when you're in town for a project review?
Would such a law be legal? It seems like it would be a direct tax that is not an income tax.
But, now with extra Red 40!

Wouldn't be surprised if Kellogg's used a defense premised on people's low expectations of processed foods. Similar to how FoxNews hosts use defenses along the lines of "people know we don't tell the truth".
My wife, who usually hates Sci-Fi, had the opposite reaction - I thought they did a great job keeping the feeling while streamlining things - disappointed by the lack of politics but think it was the right decision. It somehow felt like a rich world despite not getting into the details.

The glaring omission, especially given our current zeitgeist, was the subversion of sci fi tropes, the questionable "white saviour" elements, the environmental concerns and treatment of the native people, but those come up more in the second part of the book anyway, so I'm holding on to hope that will be explored more in the second movie
Nobody on this forum provided any kind of verification that they own the private key. It is way more likely that a rogue doctor sells certificates to unvaccinated people (which we know happens) than that the private key leaked, so let's not jump into conclusions here.

I would say, with regard to (1), that the people getting on the internet now have to have far less disposable income (at least on average). I mean, sure it's 1/2 of humanity, but it's not 1/2 of the ad audience value.
>which the U.S. government and others have identified as being part of Russia

Microsoft is not making their own determination of who the state actor is and is just letting the three letter agencies' finger pointing fly with no evidence. There is however significant evidence indicating a country other than Russia in the FBI's Solarwinds report that contradicts the headlines if you read the body of the report.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I find Hyperion almost impenetrable -- not the prose, but the fact the plot is not resolved in the first book, that I'm not familiar with Keats, that it's really slow paced with little to no action, and that as the book series goes on it becomes more and more disjointed.

It may surprise you to learn I actually like and recommend Hyperion! I like its Canterbury Tales vibe. But I find it harder than Dune, and I really dislike the follow up novels.
Totally, I see what you are saying, but it also depends on what is what you are trying to do. For certain users and use cases, Kit55 is a good alternative.

Many companies are also doing Atlassian alternatives. It doesn't mean they're trying to implement everything the Atlassian piece of software does, just the most important parts.

> That's literally no different to how Unix evolved.

Uh, that is exactly my point. You know that you were just arguing that they were unique operating systems, right? You don't see how the comparison totally undermines that position?

> ...while proclaiming that Unix was more diversified in the 90s...

I'll never understand why anyone bothers fabricating strawmen in thread based mediums - I never made that claim, and that is plainly obvious to anybody who has the ability to scroll up. I have a hard time believing that you could, in good faith, read "there were way more operating systems in use then" and honestly think "oh, he is obviously only talking about Unix!"

> No. Consolidating means the removal of options.

Yes... you remember what the option was selecting from? I'll save you the trouble of manipulating your scroll wheel: "The industry is totally different now. There's much more competition... the bar for a production-quality kernel is a lot higher..."

You still wanna keep saying that stuff from before, about options?
