This isn't actually accurate because, if you are a game engine, you can't just have a Vulkan-only implementation. There's plenty of old computers that don't support Vulkan. PlayStation doesn't support Vulkan - better use GNM, GNMX, and PSSL. Xbox only uses DirectX, which has both high and low-level variants, no Vulkan there. iOS is Metal only again. You could use Vulkan on the Nintendo Switch, but NVN is faster and the preferred method.

You might get away with just Vulkan if you were targeting only Windows, Linux, and Android on hardware that isn't more than roughly 5-6 years old. But Linux is a small percentage and they've got Proton, so as long as you don't want to port to Android and not iOS for some reason, why not use DirectX?

"lowest common-denominator API that everyone else supports" - Outside of the PC, Vulkan isn't really that broadly-supported. Yes, you've got Android and Nintendo Switch, but those are only individual items in their respective categories and don't make sense to support alone without the rest of their categories (smartphones and consoles).

If the object is not autoreleased then doing a release call will deallocate the object, otherwise it will be added to the nearest autorelease pool from the current stack and be deallocated when the pool is drained.

Swift and obj-c have the same ARC semantics, so I'm not sure what you mean by swift-style refcounting. It should be identical to the obj-c ARC semantics.

https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AutomaticReferenceCounting.html outlines the ARC semantics, including the autorelease behavior.

Sure.

The problem with McCarthyism is that you're accusing people of being spies without any real evidence. They are, in all likelihood, innocent people being punished for no reason. It becomes a witch hunt and a pretext for punishing anyone you don't like but have no legitimate reason to punish.

By contrast, "spies exist" is a thing that we know is true. There have been documented instances. We don't need to know that there is there is a spy in a particular company at a particular time to know that we should take rational countermeasures against them. Encrypt everything. Eliminate centralization to avoid a single point of compromise for millions of people.

This can't be used for a witch hunt because it's defensive rather than offensive and isn't singling out any particular entity for special scrutiny. If we don't know which particular company or technology is targeted at which time, if we don't know if the adversary is Russia or China or organized crime or corrupt law enforcement, the course of action is still the same. Make mass surveillance as difficult as possible for everybody everywhere.

>My dad recorded many made-for-TV movies in the 1980s. These movies exist on IMDB, but nowhere else.

Dear Lord, this! This!

I would dearly love to be able to get a good copy of Love is Never Silent with working subtitles but sadly since it was a Hallmark made for television movie it's simply not available to me. There are certainly others like that, half remembered movies that I'd watched in my youth that would be worth revisiting as an adult or to share with others but they're simply unavailable except through IMDB to remind myself that I didn't imagine them, they do exist.
What about Iceland? They have no military as far as I know.

But yeah, the article seems very far "out there".
I've done this twice and I'm about to do it a third time in a couple weeks. Each time I've only had about 40k of liquid assets I could spend, and managed to mostly eff out of wherever I lived and not worry about a lease. Also I was single and have no kids. Both times I spent about a year not working. It didn't really help me at all. I didn't give me any direction, I didn't learn much new about myself. I dated a lot and really hyperfocused on dating, so I guess I got better at that. For my upcoming time off I do feel like I have a somewhat good idea of what I want to do in 6 months to a year career wise, so that's a good improvement.

My advice: be sure to have at least some cushion of money, it's a hell of a lot easier when single and no kids, force yourself to have some structure and discipline after a month or so of grace period, consider staying with family and friends to save on money, and finally try to live a little. You only live once.
Since most of these answers are tech-related, here's my financial services perspective.

I spent two years working as an auditor for a large public accounting firm. This was my first post-college job. I disliked the job from the beginning, but was not confident I would find another good entry level job, so I stuck with it until I burnt myself out. Covid resulted in more work hours than usual. Compensation per hour was terrible for the number of hours worked, and I felt like I was wasting my life.

Near the end (August 2020), I struggled to do anything. Since I didn't have strong relationships with coworkers, I quit without much discussion or a plan. It was easy because: the parents paid for college, I don't spend much, I have minimal monthly expenses, and I have no major commitments.

After quitting, I drove around the US for two months seeing cool places and old friends. Eventually I was offered a short-term contract as an auditor again, and I took it. I really didn't want to be an auditor, but the hourly pay was great, and it was a promotion. Turns out, higher compensation made me a happier auditor.

Bonus points, after that contract I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, which I just finished. The 6 month gap from the hike did not cause any issues when finding a new job, and actually made interview conversations fun and easy.
>How many high school graduations, proms, death bed visitations, dance recitals, wedding receptions, music concerts, games and sporting events have been ruined by these awful and ineffective government responses?

I would think that not having a high school graduation / prom /recital /wedding etc to be a lot less ruinous than having a close relative die from one of these?

I agree with you: life is too short. Personally I would hate for it to be cut even shorter because all the hospital beds are taken up by people who contracted an avoidable, extremely infectious disease.

We recently changed some UI at work and suddenly there were thousands of errors, the stack went into some tampermonkey methods, so users were definitely automating our system to do their job.

It's a shame that even the underlying compiler tech seems to be proprietary and intended to be commercially licensed once 'finished'. I feel like a lot of creativity (and optimization?) could be possible if tech like this were available to the commons rather than a years-long pre-announcement of a future commercial product.

In general, a retained object is deallocated on last release. However ownership of some objects somewhere may have been given to an autoreleasepool, in which case “the last release” for those objects will come from the pool. To what extent this happens is implementation-defined.

Swift and ObjC implementations have levers which discourage objects being sent to the pool in common cases. It is possible to pull them from other languages but not easy.
Once in a while someone has the wild realization that European countries are, in fact, different countries. Despite a common background (and even that really needs to be taken with precaution, a lot of the common ground in Europe has more to do with the worldwide uniformization of material culture than anything else), we do have strong differences, especially when it comes to governance, administration and political culture. For example Britain and France have more to do with their former colonies, in terms of how they're structured, than any of their direct neighbours.

The short answer is that you'd use Svelte Cubed for the same reason you'd use Svelte (or indeed any component framework) itself: declarative code tends to be more robust, readable and maintainable than imperative code.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with using Three directly, but it's equivalent to using the DOM directly. At some point it gets hard to keep track of hierarchical relationships that aren't expressed as hierarchies, and managing state across your app becomes a burden.

In addition, because components have a managed lifecycle, you get things like hot module reloading 'for free' if you're using a framework like Vite (or SvelteKit, which uses Vite). Once you've tried building scenes this way (e.g. maintaining your camera position while you tweak the properties of an object you've zoomed in on), Cmd-R driven development feels paleolithic.
Where is this OpenGL->Metal translation layer documented? I've seen numerous mentions of it but no actual docs state it clearly.

I believe it to be true, based on my own checking, but I'd love to have a link to point people to as this has come up a few times.
People will continue to choose the wildly tax-subsidized option, yes.

If people in the suburbs had to pay enough property tax to recoup their share for the cost of roads, water, sewage, electric, telecoms, mail and other ancillary services to their large, non-productive plot of land, they'd likely consider other options.

Suburbs look nice in the short term, before the roads need repaving and the utilities need major overhauls; but the total lifetime cost to the public far exceeds how much tax they bring in.
This is debatable and I'd say absolutely not :)
Not sure. Last time I was close to any HR software it seemed like all you needed to do was make sure to capture some identifiers like location and IP address before storing the signature. So presumably the regulatory barrier is very low, you just have to make reasonable effort to prevent scams like one person impersonating another.
This is and was always about power. The idea they care about the health of the less than 1% of people who die is laughable. They unleashed a disease on the world, seized further power and mocked you the whole time and everyone let it happen. We slaves deserve our condition.
There is no bar for FISA courts which is essentially a rubber stamp court:

FISC meets in secret, and approves or denies requests for search warrants. Only the number of warrants applied for, issued and denied, is reported. In 1980 (the first full year after its inception), it approved 322 warrants.[27] This number has steadily grown to 2,224 warrants in 2006.[28] In the period 1979–2006, a total of 22,990 applications for warrants were made to the Court of which 22,985 were approved (sometimes with modifications; or with the splitting up, or combining, of warrants for legal purposes), and only 5 were definitively rejected.

Yeah to be honest I recently moved here and the news/press coverage is way heavier. Life is chill (I'm in North Beach), people are friendly, I see heaps of families and friends enjoying the city. Even Downtown/SOMA which are pretty dodgy are not as bad as the news suggests. South Bay is great as well.
It’s difficult to answer that question with any level of certainty. That said, there’s a line of thinking that we should do these things while we still can, because there’s no guarantee that we’ll continue to be able to do them. I tend to agree with that.

So it’s not about trying to race and and get there first, but rather making sure that the opportunity doesn’t pass us by.

As far as cost goes… these sorts of missions are expensive relative to the amounts of money most of us work with in a regular basis, but compared to the vast sums that get put toward far more questionable and frivolous uses it’s a drop in the bucket. If saving money or rerouting funds to more deserving causes is a goal, there’s several tens of bushels of lower hanging fruit elsewhere that should be looked at first — anything with scientific purpose should be trimmed last.
Considering how much trouble it is to lock down devices that were intended from the start to be locked down in the firmware (Nintendo Switch, etc.), I think it's pretty unlikely that this device could be effectively locked down with a software update.
Do you have some examples of MISRA rules you think would need "a very specific subset of Rust" rather than for example, #![forbid(unused)] to obey MISRA's rejection of unused stuff ?

A lot of MISRA is concerned with defects in C - or in its standard library and the usual C idiom - that simply aren't present in Rust and so need zero work to eliminate. For example MISRA forbids trigraphs. Rust of course doesn't have trigraphs.

A bunch more is stuff Rust warns about, that you can tell it to outright forbid, such as #![forbid(unused)] to obey various MISRA rules about using things.

In a few places MISRA obliges you to either squint hard at the rules, or agree that it is contradictory and you must grant yourself a deviation from the rules, while Rust just solves the underlying conundrum entirely. For example MISRA wants exhaustive matching, it has rules for switches to try to achieve that but in the process it introduces dead code it has already forbidden. Rust only has exhaustive matching anyway - if your match compiles it was exhaustive - thus there is no need to introduce dead code "just in case".
I would like to say that the device itself, if it works, is rock-solid.

With that said:

"Framing" is irrelevant to my statement. I provided concrete evidence of the two mainstream political parties doing exactly what I said they were doing.

How a particular slogan like "defund the police" polls is not relevant to the impact of moving $193 billion annual local dollars of police funding to better structured, community-centered alternatives.

Conflating evidence-based policy goals and research with how people feel about them in the current present moment is classic misdirection.
"Accidents still happen and people die despite traffic lights, stop signs, some wearing seatbelts and having airbags installed, everyone needs to move on and ignore all road safety rules and laws"
Given that the US is sitting at a vaccination rate of around 60% (i.e., around 10% lower than the lowest estimate for "some degree of herd immunity"), I don't think you can fairly blame this on strategy (other than a general failure of public education, but that's a doozy of a failure.)

One way or another, the restrictions are going to eventually end. But they could have ended sooner, with fewer deaths and fewer severely ill, had more people decided to act affirmatively and with their civic duty in mind.
The problem with any lock is that, fundamentally, it is made to be opened when certain conditions are met. And that's putting aside any sort of brute force approach.

Good security design is as much about asking, from first principles, "what conditions need to be met to open this?" as about considering how it might be attacked.

For example, the condition to be met for a pad lock to open is not "when the proper key is inserted" or "the key pins are raised to the appropriate level". It's something more basic-- like "when the locking bar no longer blocks the shackle from rising."

From that perspective, attacking the key hole and pins is only one of multiple vectors.

> there is no clear success in any strategy whatsoever.

No clear success from a covid mitigation perspective, but lots of huge wins in gaining power and growing bureaucracy. From the perspective of an advocate that wants a way to push their agenda forward, or a director that wants to get more budget and headcount for their group, covid had been a huge boon. There have been massive losers as well, in politics, business, and personal freedom, but if you look at how some have benefitted it's clear why there are lots of entrenched interests that don't want us to move on.

My bar is that safety-relevant information should probably be enabled by default. Wildfire spread certainly qualifies.
