Fuck having to ask for the "right". If they bought their digital books, they should absolutely be free to do whatever they like with them for personal usability. I can understand the legal rights position here, revolving around bringing attention to the issue of these idiotic rules, but if I buy ebooks, i'll just go ahead and strip their DRM without giving a damn who says no. The absurdity of DRM laws is really made visible again.

I believe the OP was referring to the state of Israel, more in the sense that Israel wouldn't grant permission to sell a certain technology without being sure it cannot be wielded against its people.

I think it's a sound argument, even if speculative.
You didn't set a time bound on "today's politicized academic climate," so I had to guess. There's always a new conservative bugaboo with some aspect focused on schools, and it tends to come on 5-10 year cycles.

It's CRT today, teaching about gay people existing around then (post-Obergefell v. Hodges), Sharia law allegedly taking over communities not that long ago. It seems the merits and hazards of paying people enough to live is next with this new labor movement frustrating people who are used to abusing lopsided power relationships.
Also thoroughly unconvinced by this aspect of his reasoning.

More generally, I think publicly shaming individuals is a nasty thing to do.
Librem 5 is basically a scam at this point, many people who ordered it 4 years ago still haven't received it. It barely qualifies as a "mobile phone" with how bad it's battery life and efficiency is. Plus it's 1200$. Hard Pass.
> That meetings are necessary in modern working life is a fact.

No, the fact is that they happen. Whether or not they are necessary is a matter of opinion.
My guess is that Pipewire is written in C because the author likes C (or at least somewhat dislikes C++). And it has "abstraction"... in the form of hand-baked vtables and observers created out of nested macros, void*, and intrusive linked lists.

An advantage of C is that it comes with a stable ABI, where Rust is unstable and C++ is a subject of conflict (though you can achieve a stable ABI by restricting your external API to C functions, and if you want cross-shared-object virtual calls like Pipewire, you might have to write the same pile of macros as PipeWire, which you were trying to save yourself from). The downsides are memory and type unsafety (surprisingly the only crash I've seen so far is a null pointer dereference, and I haven't hit any obvious memory or type errors), and a complete absence of "vocabulary" or templated types (they've created their own slotmap-like ID allocator but without a generation count resulting in ever-present "logical use-after-frees" in library and application code, and an intrusive linked list which they use even when hashmaps might provide somewhat faster iteration and asymptotically faster search).

Start with some online summaries. Girard's theories span multiple essays and books. Instead of jumping straight into one of his books, it will help to get some overall context.

I personally read "The Scapegoat" but Girard is doing literary critique which, like philosophy, can be dense and difficult to read if one isn't used to such texts. Personally, I would like to read "Deceit, Desire and the Novel: Self and Other in Literary Structure" sometime in the future.

Depends on where you want to take your career.

Rust and Go are different tools that are good at solving different categories of problems. Additionally they are both languages that will provide different lessons about modern programming ergonomics.

If you expect your programming career to be solving more high level "enterprise-y" problems like writing APIs, web services, and middleware, learning Go is probably going to be more useful to you.

If you think your programming career is going to be more low-level like programming operating systems, libraries, or drivers, learning Rust is probably going to be more valuable to you.

Imho the only question left in this scenario,

To me the real question left is one of price. Will Valve be able to release a 'Steam Console' at the same price and performance as an Xbox? Or will people buying Xboxes today be willing to pay significantly more for a Steam Console than they are currently paying? As cool as the Steamdeck is, it's also twice the price of a Switch.
You can never be sure with any weapon you made, that it will not be eventually be used against you. But a fine grained hacking tool has a very unique fingerprint and working style, you could defend against much more easier, if it was you who build it all.
Thanks. This is what I meant. I didn't make my point because, at least to me, this is clear and well known, so I dismiss anybody who says not to know it as disingeniuous.
To be honest I dont play that many new games these days, so I might not have a good sample of experiences.

But I don't recall ever having to configure a game because it doesn't work.

As a counter point though, there used to be stories of people buying a game on console and had to download 30GB patches in order to play it.

Also paying for subscription to play online games always irk me the wrong way.

Ether way PC or console there are pros and cons
The 8008, Intel's first 8-bit processor, direct ancestor to the 8080 and indirectly to the Z80 and 8086, also came in a far-too-small 18-pin package as well.

In hindsight it seems rather inscrutable. Why were they hobbling their product like that? Well it seems just the arbitrary preference of one executive. But the seeming absurdity of it is partially an artifact of later thinking, from the era of single-chip microcontrollers. The 4004 and 8008 both needed a large amount of dedicated support electronics. Not just bus multiplexers, but clock drivers, special memory interfaces, etc. You couldn't turn an 8008 on without at least half a dozen support chips which were as much an integral part of the "computer" to the designers as the 8008 itself was. And while multiplexing brutally hindered the chip's performance, oddly enough pure performance doesn't seem to have been a major design goal for either the 4004 or 8008. Basically anything would be fast enough -- even multiplexed at 0.5 MHz -- for the industrial control and calculator-like applications envisioned.
> The multiplayer services are independent and crossplay is an exception, that's what I think they were getting at. Being able to launch an executable from a different store doesn't matter if your copy uses Steamworks for multiplayer and the copy from the MS store doesn't support that.

But that’s not the case from the games I’ve played unless you’re getting into hypotheticals.

I’ve played on Xbox live with my cousins on steam in F1 2020, age of empires, gta 4, halo.

The only friction is initial invites from the specific platform but once we’ve played in the same server, it’s very easy to send in-game invites.

As for the issues with virtualization, it’s an understandable issue with concerns around cheating in pc multiplayer games. COD4 was absolutely ruined because of it. Virtualization isn’t very widespread but I’m sure they’ll be more accommodative soon as WSL and Android ship by default on Windows.
Yours is the only reply that didn't use absolutes to describe human behavior, and I genuinely appreciate that. I agree that there are situations where a similarly-structured playing field becomes important to the main function of the game, but the OP made sweeping generalizations about every game type needing to be developed in a hyper-specific way (his way), otherwise the game is automagically bad -- and I hope we can both agree that's pretty silly.
Well you don't know the interviewee to make any assumption at all. I've given /my/ honest response to the description of it. Framed as a question, while noting some of the shortcomings of that. Then provided a suggestion of how OP might get what they want without causing the problem I suggested might, and OP confirmed actually does, occur.

So yeah I think that's pretty productive and positive as these conversations go. I don't see you adding anything of utility or value to it by suggesting bad faith or lack of generosity that I don't think exists on either side.
"Surgical and precise" slights by definition can't be either from a position of ignorance, about the person you're slighting or the context and constraints of the work they've done. But you might get lucky. Even without luck it might not matter, maybe nobody else in the world would tell you to boil your head other than me? And nobody whose opinion or work you'd care about? YMMV.
>Maybe better engineering captures the emissions and crash concerns in simpler, sturdier designs.

This is very unlikely, given that everything points towards sturdier designs being less safe.

Emissions can not be reasonably solved without chips, there really isn't any feasible alternative.
I have to agree with the OC. I read this post, the reply post (https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2021/11/07/select/) and "The ONE" (https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2018/04/28/meta/)
post and I too was struck by the passive aggressive/defensive tone.

To me it really clashed with the original post which concludes we need guidance/mentorship/reference points. Most of the comments in Hackernews are constructive or genuinely curious, don't just dismiss the author and instead provide things to learn.

For the author to then write a reply and dismiss all these comments as comments that are really saying "I am THE ONE. You only need to know me. I am better than all of you." is just plain rude and completely counter to their own point.
Such a painful experience. He detailed some of it last week on "All Things Considered."

What evidence is "out there"? So far, there's no evidence, from what is being reported by legitimate news agencies who saw the supposed evidence. Example: https://apnews.com/article/business-europe-middle-east-israe...
> Had he been convicted, he would face 1 Million USD in fines as well as 35 years in prison.

That's a common misconception, largely due to the ridiculous way the DoJ writes its press releases.

Each Federal crime carries a range of possible prison time. What you actually get depends on a large number of factors, such as how much damage you caused, whether or not your crime was a drug crime, past criminal history, and many others.

When the DoJ writes press releases they just add up for each charge the maximum that it is theoretically possible for someone to get from the crime if they hit all the factors that push for longer sentences and none of the factors that push for shorter sentences.

So when they arrest you for crime X and write their press release, they don't actually tell what you, the first time offender who committed a mild instance of the crime with no aggravating factors and several mitigating factors is facing. No. They tell what the Voldemort or Moriarty or Hitler of whatever activity you were doing would face for crime X.

It is even worse, because they actually even exaggerate what Voldemort or Moriarty or Hitler would actually face, too! If a person is charged with multiple crimes from the same underlying act, say crimes X, Y, and Z, and is convicted of all of them the crimes are grouped together into one for sentencing, with the sentence for the group being the sentence you would have received for whichever for X, Y, or Z you would have gotten the longest sentence for if that was the only one you were convicted on.

Here's a good article on this in general: "Crime: Whale Sushi. Sentence: ELEVENTY MILLION YEARS." [1]

Here's a couple articles specifically on the Swartz charging.

This one covers the charges themselves: "The Criminal Charges Against Aaron Swartz (Part 1: The Law)" [2]

This is undoubtedly false. Speaking of "purported evidence" when there is literally no credible evidence submitted by the Israeli government for these allegations is misleading at best. Their whole case rests on the testimony of two Palestinian accountants, likely attained by torture, that worked for two organizations that were not included in the list of six [1]. They merely state it is "general knowledge" that these orgs are funneling money to PFLP without providing any evidence. These testimonies have been already partially refuted by public information. Multiple European governments and a large range of reputable international human rights organizations, incl HRW and Amnesty, have rejected the Israeli allegations as baseless and unsupported. These organizations are highly reputable and been supported for years by the EU, uk and other reputable international donors.

They are targeted for their role in opposing the Israeli occupation and human rights violations and, in the case of Al-Haq, likely targeted for their role in the ICC investigation.

Some idiots are using the extremely scary-looking radiation symbol (or something too similar) to sell soda, for example https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Radioactive-Mulberry-Marciano-In...

IIUC this is just water with sugar and a fluorescent dye, not radioactive material (except the natural amount of radioactive deuterium and potassium, that is not enough to make it glow).

(I think I saw something like this here in Argentina, but I don't remember the name and I can't find it in Google. But this example is very similar to what I remember from the ads.)
No I don't have any suggestions myself but as you point out there are already other alternatives, and I believe none are as blatantly obvious as when Aaron downloaded hundreds of documents per minute:

SciHub itself may be similar but there are some important differences, e.g., the creator is not a citizen or resident of the US where this would be prosecuted (I think she lives in Russia, which only "recently" ruled to block the site, but I'm unsure she'd face any criminal charges) and the way they source the paywalled articles/journals is less easy for the authorities to circumvent.

In addition, (some) universities and other institutions are slowly moving towards open access journals and other measures; not at an ideal pace, I agree, but certainly done on a better foundation to ensure publishers don't just bury people with lawsuits and so on.

My parents are not technical people, yet they can use Signal. My siblings as well. I think the UX is approximately on par with WhatsApp (when I was using it).

They have done a great job when it comes to UX. Ultimately I would like to push them towards Matrix, but the UX is not here yet for most clients. Fluffychat comes close to it, unfortunately I'm experiencing issues logging in with my account (timeouts), so I can't recommend it yet.
> And your odds of knowing 2 kids / young adults who both got myocarditis reactions to the vaccine are roughly 1-in-500 if you know 50 people who got the vaccine to the point you would have heard about them getting myocarditis. That isn't winning-the-lottery odds.

That isn't true, if the chance is 1 in 100k and you know 50 then the chance of at least one of them getting it would be about 1 in 2k, this is an overestimate of the chance but it isn't too far off. Similarly for these low probabilities we can just multiply them to get 2, still an overestimate so the probability of 2 of his friends would be less than 1 in 4 millions, which is lottery level.

If it is 10 per 50k, just increase the chance by 100 and you get 1 per 20k, still small.
