We need to stop talking about "the mob" as if these people came through a membrane from another universe and are fundamentally non-humans and different from us. Instead of being condescending to people maybe it would be more useful to understand why this behavior happens, instead of dismissing it as "weak mindedness" or "anger issues".

The "mob" are people that are probably finding little meaning in life. Their "match" is probably feeling like they have something to fight for instead of their grueling 9-5 soul sucking work to pay debt in order to enrich just a few.

It's easy for humans to also externalize pain. They might be angry for very valid reasons, but which they feel powerless to change, and that anger is still in their body, needing, indeed a match to escape. Repressed anger causes disease (cf. Gabor Mate). It's a natural instinct to act out and let out misdirected anger.

Talking about "mob" is like talking about "witches" 400 years ago(pharmaceuts) or "hysteric women" 100 years ago (women with BPD or PTSD). It's dehumanizing and misses the point, and in a few years people will look back at comments like this like we look at witch burning and the stone age practices of psychiatry a few years ago.
It has tightened e.g. in HK and significantly so. With these things it’s not a matter of averaging oppression to judge the level. If a specific group of people, geographic area, etc. are being targeted you don’t really judge based on how the rest are doing.

This is all well and good, but in reality everyone is using all the rich features of ELF -- dynamic linking obviously, but also symbol versioning, constructors, symbol interposition (probably the worst one for performance), symbol visibility, preload, etc. The question is how to make it fast in the common case, and actually the Linux and glibc authors are doing a pretty good job here.

The big part of the reason is combination of NIH with bad reputation mostly related to X503 and such rather than anything else - hard to advocate for it when the main library you can point to is OpenSSL, and most commonly known encoding is DER (which has certain implementation complexity, effectively being sorted BER, which has certain important value in cryptography).

Both Protobuf and Thrift evolved from RPC systems that possibly started out too simple for ASN.1, combined with above issue where good tools were probably commercial and expensive (FWIW, my experience also suggests that Thrift is shitty rpc system, compared even to Sun/ONC RPC, but maybe things changed)
Many credits card have points/airline miles/other stuff you can earn with your purchases. So as long as (1) the bill doesn't add fees for using a credit card, and (2) you are paying your credit card balance in full each month (and thus incurring no interest charges), it can be more advantageous to pay with a credit card.

Even if you are not earning extra points, using a credit card may be helpful for some who are trying to establish a credit history, which will be important if they wish to borrow larger sums (auto loans, home mortgages) in the future.
>I think C# fits the bill.

It should also have the other Rust aspects: LLVM binaries, no MS involved, and so on.
I'm not suggesting that the information that you provided is in anyway wrong or fraudulent, but I do have some observations.

Firstly, and most importantly, what you have described is categorically not the "Apple" way of doing things. I'd also add expecting things to work identically between Linux/Windows/Mac is is a fools errand. Different design decisions are made for each environment.

To the flow - Darktable, whilst a fine DAW, clearly lacks in certain features. It should be able to handle importing and renaming files to a standard file structure, including sane default folder names, etc. without the need for scripting. This is a flaw that I suggest you raise with the maintainers.

I've never heard of the software that you/your wife is using to capture the images from the device, but a cursory Google search bought up some interesting results... DigiCam seems to be what you are looking for! It free (libre and beer), scriptable, and acts as a DAW should you need. Will it work like Rapid Photo Downloader? Probably not, but the maintainer of that software doesn't seem interested in supporting macOS, and that's fine. From the FAQ: Does it work on Windows or Mac?
No. Theoretically it could be ported to both Mac and Windows with minimal effort. The one gotcha is getting gphoto2 to work effectively on Windows.

It's GPL2 and the source code is here; nothing stopping you or your wife porting it to macOS. https://github.com/damonlynch/rapid-photo-downloader

Finally, a bit about the "Cult". The Mac 'cult' is no different to the FOSS 'cult'. Both sides are enthusiastic about their environments to the point of the being, frankly, assholes. Too much "your doing it wrong" and not enough "what are you trying to do".
As rakoo said, exponential backoff mitigates the thundering herd. I was going to say add some jitter to the time before reconnecting, then I realized rakoo already said "after a random short time", which is exactly what jitter is.

The part that's not obvious to those applying best practices is doing so without such a similar understanding. It is a shallow appeal to authority of the 'best'.
That's why accusing someone of shilling with is in extremely poor taste.

I agree that there's no plan or roadmap, so maybe I was not clear in my wording. What I mean is that given infinite time, a smart species will tend to emerge, and when it does, it will be the most successful one. So evolution (by random chance) converges to higher intelligence.

If you have discipline, it's very convenient. You can manage your cash flow and know when and how much exactly is coming in and out of your account, and if you have an unexpected $2000 expense (say, something went wrong with your car), you can pay it now and have a month to fetch the money for it from wherever you keep the money - since keeping all your money on the same checking account is both wasteful and risky.
Also, can get you a cool 2% back on every transaction (over the years, it comes to a non-trivial sum). Some can even do 5%.

All that requires discipline and planning of course. If you don't trust yourself with being able to keep it up for years - get a debit.
Two things can simultaneously be true: (1) there is substantial astroturfing in the infosphere & (2) everything is not astroturf.

Ironically, I think the accusations of astroturfing (whether true or not) more directly serve the meta goal of decreasing the public's ability and willingness to engage in debate, and accusations are much more amplification / outrage friendly.
That's the TLS key. It's trivial to read the "plain text" contents of the HTTP request - this is for when the contents are actually encrypted at Layer 7, the application layer, not the transport layer.

There are two axis here:

- are the air taxi concepts technologically viable? I'd say yes, after all they are flying one way or the other. Besides being electric concepts like Joby and Volocopter are proofen. Lilium is techologically more challenging, but still feasible with existing tech. Not sure robo taxis will beat them there.

- Commercial viability. We know there will be a market for robot taxis, they are taxis without a driver. There UAM is the big bet, is there a market, and if so how big is it? There robo taxis might be faster.
That is also true. But as said, I haven't yet personally run into a case where refcounting was contested to a point of making it an optimisation priority.
Rather it's like taking a statically typed language and making all type annotations inferrable.

I had a brief burst during the pandemic where I bought some wish list crazy stuff. A new guitar ($1300). A Roomba. A drawing tablet. A set of good wine glasses. A second car, one that was made after 1980 and doesn't fly off the road in the rain. And these things make you go, like - wow. This is a really well designed thing. It smells nice and feels solid in your hands. Shit, my life could be so much more enjoyable if my days and nights were spent touching these wonderfully designed objects, which I can afford to feel the pleasure of. Why do I deny myself the pleasure of having them?
So I think the basic answer is that I don't want too much comfort in my life. Regardless of money. I think money corrupts by making you too comfortable, yeah, but my objection is more to the comfort than with the means to purchase it. Life should be a bit uncomfortable. Or very uncomfortable, when your 1980 Datsun is leaking freezing water and sliding across the freeway.

A lot of people seem to have the idea that being a full-grown human is being rich. To me, it's being able to plug all the holes in your own roof and always bearing in mind that we're just here for a limited period of time, to gain knowledge and experience, not things to make us lazy and comfortable. But maybe that's just like some weird post-religious self denial predilection I hold onto.
>it's about as scientific an idea as string theory is...

That's not necessarily a ringing endorsement ;)

At least string theory has lead to some very powerful and productive mathematical techniques, if little in the way of actual physics.

If we can invoke other universes, then we're kissing Occam's razor goodbye and we're in magical fairy land territory.

Here's an official Chinese government source defending the use of labour/"re-education" camps in Xinjiang:

Yes, which is why I assumed that is what fast fashion meant.
Disclaimer: I have done some amateur game development, nothing professional.

> 1) Porting costs are not per game but per engine, which can be shared between multiple games.

That's not true. Majority of the costs maybe, but every platform needs its own tweaks, if for nothing else input often very different in a way engine abstractions are usualy not good enough. And then there is DRM, and anti cheats etc, that are quite platform dependent.

In pretty much any engine there are games that work beautifully and games using same engine that are like trash on fire[1]. There is a reason nvidia and amd often have to release new driver with fixes/optimizations for new games.

[1]: I meant cross platform support (where they work decently on one platform but are trash on others), not that game as a whole itself being trash and or buggy.
Quarkus 2.6.0.Final Released
Worse than H&M? Wow.
Interesting stuff. I feel that "economics" as currently practiced has "you're not allowed to take the rich people's money" baked in as a very deep but generally unspoken assumption. Even taking away their outsized ability to claim more money is frowned upon as in this example: we've generated X amount of money so that's good, let's very carefully ignore who actually got that money because that's not important for some odd reason.

If someone set you a task with a million unborn babies, and magic money to redistribute, it's fairly obvious what you'd do with it to maximise happiness, utility, and even GDP to the degree it measures something useful. If an algorithm randomly allocated the magic money to some of the hypothetical babies before you got a chance to make the decision, it doesn't change that answer economically, just politically as the hypothetical baby parents might use the money to harm your political career if you make the wrong decision.
I have looked quite closely into glibc in the past and there are great many things that could be improved and not using some of the fancy ELf features is probably one of them. For example symbol versioning doesn't appear to have a good cost/benefit balance.
I guess you have inside information but my naive assumption, reading the website doc and guessing how this things work, is that Scwarz group created it on top of their already existing self-service infrastructure, they "just" opened to external customers. Or did they create it from scratch?
Do any of these options support communicating via an http API instead of stdin/out?

Ideally I'd like to have a standalone websocket service that handles long-running connections and then calls my specified API eg. `POST <my-http-service>/websocket/client/<client_id>`. Then the service can respond by sending a `POST <my-websocket-service>/websocket/client/<client>`, like an opensource https://pusher.com? I realise it'd be fairly easy to build myself, just wondering if there is something off the shelf that achieves this?
Personally, I'm most angry that Intel refuses to properly audit their suppliers. They're not actually banned from importing goods from Xinjiang if they can prove that they weren't made with forced labor.

If they could prove that, the US government should be happy (because their stated goal of combating forced labor is respected) and Chinese people should be happy, too (better working conditions).

Merely restricting suppliers based on geography is a non-solution, since it's not like forced labor magically stops if you cross a provincial border.
Would be interested in data before 2020 - is this just a Christmas/Winter trend? The graph only shows a small spike around the first wave. Could actually be just fake sellers on Amazon getting washed into the main supply.

> Usually, you don't start learning a new language with multithreaded operations..

When I have started with rust I was not writing stuff with Box/Rc/Arc... or even explicit lifetimes. Not saying that I was cloning everything but for simple stuff you can come long way with just moving and simple borrowing.
I started using Io in 2008 (I believe). In 2009 I registered "iolanguage.org" and created a website for the language. It had a code example right at the front page:

foo := Object clone do (
run := method(one, two,
writeln(one .. " is soooo " .. two)
)
) run("steve dekorte", "drunk")

"but it's just a lie" println

Sorry Steve, I was young (and probably drunk myself) :).

I handed over the domain in 2011 or 2012, can't remember. Good times back then :).

>I'm always a bit skeptical about physics because whatever models we find and celebrate now will have to be adjusted at some point in the future...

The physics we have at any given time is tested through experimentation, and has proven effective and accurate to some degree. Within those parameters it's verified.

So skepticism of current physics makes sense to a point, we know it's not complete, but we also know that in a massive range of many complex and sophisticated tests it turns out to be precisely accurate. That's got to count for something.

Testability is a strength not a weakness, it means we know for sure what the limits of our understanding are. Outside the domain of science we have no such heuristic, so we have no idea whether or to what extent anything we think up bears any relation to reality whatsoever.

> The second thing is need. Actually needing money, either just to start out, or to fund a lavish lifestyle, or to keep up status, is a powerful driving force. Setting up your life up in a way that removes the force stops most people executing on their ideas.

I think I see the reasoning for this, but empirically, I don't agree. The need may be necessary, but it's clearly not sufficient for many people.

I would even say that it's just one of the possible means to get the focus going, but not the only one.
I noticed it as well. With real focus I’m learning the same way. And if the speaker is speaking slowly it’s even better. If the speaker has a foreign accent hard to understand speeding up can be harder if not listening in my main language.
Grindr 6,500,000€ fine – “Data is not a commodity”
The Norwegian Data Protection Authority imposed a fine of €6,500,000 on Grindr for not collecting users' valid consent for sharing data with third parties for profiling and advertising purposes from the Grindr App.

Particularly interesting is that it is not allowed under GDPR to have a free version of an app with the condition that it shares personal data (in this case for targeting and profiling for ads) as the consent of the user is not freely given in this case - in a "Take it or leave it" situation, consent cannot be seen as freely given.
The fact that later titles are encrypted, so he doesn’t have access to them made me a bit sad. The DRM mentality strikes again.
You should get someone to do it instead. Somewhere like fiverr or should have some people relatively cheap.
Hard work to stop it? There was a global insurance company that sent an international wire, at least two banks with multiple transactions, and coinbase which is a KYC compliant publicly traded company. Despite ample opportunity, no one stopped this, rather they all facilitated it. This all originated from an email containing fraudulent wire instructions, trying to pin all this on cryptocurrency is less sound than blaming email.

Despite all the deflection, law enforcement was able to recover the Bitcoin. Contrary to your point law enforcement and regulators alike have successfully brought legal actions (civil) and prosecutions (criminal) in the blockchain space just as they have against traditional institutions.

The insurance company, banks, and coinbase are all to happy cryptocurrency was involved at some point so they can do some magic hand waving, and blame cryptocurrency. I would ask why bother, but obviously it’s a successful PR campaign to excuse their own ineptitude.
