While I’m not super keen on this myself, if somebody stole something valuable enough to make or break my quality of life I would take a stab at repossessing it. If the police don’t care about the stolen item in the first place why would they care about me stealing it back? The thief thought it would be worth it to take the risk of stealing so why can’t I come to the same conclusion?

People can lose things like their vehicle and consequently their jobs and consequently their families.
source available software can still be proprietary
I wish we could, with Android everwhere, have Linus Torvalds, Sergey Brin, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs get together and say “OK, we all need to agree to have both a serif and sans font which is on every operating system out there, so that web pages don’t need to download fonts to their users any more.” and then have everyone present say something like “OK, we’ll make Noto Sans and Noto Serif always be available”, or barring that, have Sergey Brin say “OK, we’ll make sure Android phones always have Arimo (sans serif with the same metrics as Arial) and Tinos (serif with the same metrics as Times New Roman) available to use”.

If they could do this, then font stacks could simply be “Font-family: "Noto Sans", sans-serif;” or “Font-family: "Noto Serif", serif;”, or, the not as good but still usable “Font-family: Arial, Arimo, "Liberation Sans", sans-serif;” and “Font-family: Tinos, "Liberation Serif", "Times New Roman", serif;” font stacks. This would solve the pesky “download the fonts” problem.

Another solution would be for Bill Gates to say “I will release the 2002 Core Fonts version of the Georgia typeface under the OFL open source license if Brin will install it on all Android devices moving forward” or better “I will release Cambria and Calibri under the OFL open source license if Steve Jobs and Brin agree to install this font on all Apple computers, iPhones, and Android phones moving forward”

Of course, in the real world, it would logistically be easier to get Steve Jobs to show up alive and well at this meeting then to get all attendees to agree on a font which all operating systems will have.

Another place where it might actually be possible to pull this off is to have all browser makers, especially Android browsers to include Arimo and Tinos with the browser moving forward. Actually, it looks like Arimo/Tinos are already on most Android phones: https://help.xara.com/article/440-web-safe-fonts-on-android-...

Edit: Based on testing, Arimo is on my somewhat older Android phone, with the same metrics as Arial on my Windows 10 desktop machine, but, annoyingly enough, while Tinos also looks to be there, it doesn’t have the same metrics as Times New Roman on my Windows 10 desktop machine. So, yeah, “Font-family: Arial, Arimo, "Liberation Sans", sans-serif;” is pretty much the only font stack we can use and be guaranteed to have the same metrics across mostly everything.

I can squeeze in just the regular and italic text of a serif font in 53,512 bytes, so we can get a consistent looking serif across platforms at the cost of 52.26KiB, and then just use Arial/Arimo (the only across-the-board websafe font stack where we can retain font metrics) for sans text.
Dude, we're talking building a space machine to observe objects light years away.

It took 20 years to build this insane machine. Did we truly slow down :D Maybe americans have become biased, but as a French, just launching this thing in a machine that can launch 80 successive and productive payloads in space is a positive sign of progress compared to how far our country was 2000 years ago compared to its peers in Asia and Africa.
At the end of the day you can always record the video buffer in some way or another (hdmi capture device, etc). The problem is that screen recording isn't what you want: it's lossy because you'll re-encode the output of a lossy encoding (at comparable level). You always want an ultra high quality source for encoding (in comparison with your target quality), else you'll amplify artifacts. To not deteriorate the perceptual quality you'll have to do little lossy compression (ie big file size, much bigger than the original encode).

Old analog pictures have a really nice quality to them. Colours are rich and vibrant without looking too fake. They are often taken on 35 mm film, which means a natural shallow dept off field.

I really enjoy browsing through the box of old pictures from my youth. Everyone above 30 probably has their youth snapped on film, while most pics nowadays are shot on phones. I wonder how someone 40 years in the future would look back at 2021 iPhone pictures of themselves?
About the being cheaper: checks are usually free. For Wells Fargo - a large U.S. bank - when you schedule payments online they will print a check and send it for free. If you want to transfer money via wire you are actually charged.

Coming from the EU I was shocked to find out that a lot of the B2B payments for small and mid size companies - are done sending checks in the mail.

Routing and account numbers are considered sensitive information, and normally hidden on online banking. My understanding is that these can be used to transfer money out of the bank account.

The repo readme is pretty telling - this is being leaked to force this particular key to be blacklisted, I guess one group annoyed with others and wanting to cut off their access (and presumably the leaking group already has other L1 keys so doesn't fear this key being burned...)

It wasn't meant as a defence.
I get that you want to be a white knight but you're defending malice, said defense being that you can imagine that "Check your privilege" being used differently than it actually is.

And, you've yet to explain what good comes from said "recognition". What, exactly, do you want me to do differently because I benefitted from succeeding in a situation that actually was available to many? (I'm pretty sure that you won't be satisfied with me just saying "hey, I built on stuff that had happened before.")

Yes, there are lots of places where being white lends you more credit than being black. Similarly, there are lots of places where being black lends you more credit. So what?

My point is that the south tends has more successful interaction than the north. That's actually more true in the rural areas.
It's all on a continuum, but what fast fashion changed was the structure of fashion seasons. When new models are developed and released on an industry agreed schedule (2 or 4 times a year), then there are clear benefits for planning, forecasting and managing the supply chain.

Having a cycle that cannot be planned and offers a short window to profit, creates strong incentives to compromise on these relatively stable systems. This is compounded by the vast majority of fashion brands outsourcing production, and often design, sourcing, etc. So if a new item appears to be about to become extremely popular:

- Don't have time (or want to maximise margins) to design an item? Copy someone else's.
- Don't have time to find a new factory? Offer the contract to one you know that doesn't have capacity to produce it safely. Or quickly pick a new one without doing any supply chain checks.
- Don't have time to source materials? Let the factory pick what they want without oversight.
- Factory owner doesn't have time to source additional labour? Secretly outsource to a cheaper factory with worse conditions to keep the margin. They might never get another contract anyway.
- Factory owner has an unrealistic price per unit to achieve? Just reduce the quality.

The lack of stability means that there are just no incentives for anyone to anything "right".
Hmm. If someone came over to my house with their toddler and asked me to attach all of my furniture I'd think they're being way overprotective of their child. I'd try to talk them out of it, through their irrational fears and remind them that life is full of dangers and trying to shield their children from all of them will be an impossible task which would only be detrimental to the child's development. If they insisted I might go for it (temporarily taping, not screwing), reluctantly, if they were close friends (I'd accept their neuroticism). For every stranger? Never. I don't have the morals and empathy of Jesus. Then again there was some stories about leprocy, some story about not being afraid, accepting them, hmm...
That was exactly my understanding and, I think, a general consensus on how secondary insurance works for Amex Platinum.
Cool stuff (even though my post might come across as critical), but I will wait for high resolution + high Hz. For example, on the Simula One the Hz is low (90 Hz) but the resolution is high. On the Valve Index, the opposite: the resolution is low, but the Hz is 144 Hz. I won't use/comment on Quest 2, as Facebook requirement is a dealbreaker for me, so the entire product is irrelevant in a comparison. I totally get that such a product is going to be expensive, and that its gonna take a while till it exists, but if I am going to shell out several thousands of EUR for a device like this, I want it to be really good (and breaking my privacy I am not going to fall for regardless of how good the price/performance might be. Not with AR/VR. Honestly, it scares me shitless to see Meta going that path).
> Given the generally accepted ideal of equality in the rich and educated world

It isn’t a generally accepted ideal in the West.

And where it is accepted it might just be (if you read the fine print) some kind of equality like "equal opportunity to participate in the rat race".
I record daily spending activity and often add comments against the transactions, e.g if it is a restaurant bill, I will include who was with me and if it was extra-ordinarily good or bad then I will add a comment about that as well.

I developed an app installed on my phone which automatically detects SMSs transaction notifications and uploads them to my online app which is a simple General Ledger with simple and good enough reporting capabilities.

For cash payments (less than 10% of my transactions) the same app allows me to quickly take a picture of whatever I was buying or the receipt and uploads it to the online app for later posting. I even have a Google Cloud Run job which reads email notifications since some of my cards don't have SMSs notifications. I have been doing this since 2015 and it has been one of the greatest decision I have ever made.

And/or a lot of misconceptions. I showed up many times as well with those links, and explanations and whatnot.

I recommend https://blog.adacore.com/, too. Ada/SPARK is great when you want formal verification, and your checks to be done by GNATprove; statically, instead of dynamically. FWIW, you can disable runtime checks in Ada.

I also commented https://docs.adacore.com/live/wave/spark2014/html/spark2014_... not too long ago. The whole documentation is useful anyway. You can prove the absence of memory leaks, among a lot of other stuff!
I don't know much about Texas specifically, but I work for a state level agency. Federal requirements can be onerous for sure, and the work I do (cyber) is still interesting. Life-balance wise it's basically a normal 9-5 with a moderate amount of travel, but rarely away from home for longer than a day or two. And even that's only a few times a year.
The control panel situation is astounding. It's clear that there are a bunch of different silo'd teams in MS doing all this work, because I can't really think of why they would do this "transition" over years of half-baked lavaflow features. It seems like there are 2 or 3 places to access any given setting. Some of them have the same UI toolkit from 2000, and others look like an Xbox application.

In Linux/BSD it always blows my mind that you can do "crazy" configuration changes like bring a LACP/LAGG interface online with essentially one command and zero downtime, while on Windows you will peck around 23 different UI's like a chicken in the sandbox only to break yourself.
For some reason I was completely oblivious to the hole "drama" but reading the older threads and example emails - they were simply a questions regarding adherence to the GDPR/CCPA.

On the one hand stating that this is a research would probably be "nice" though in that case a lot of websites would probably comply in the nicest possible way skewing the result.

It's not good though. It has these flaws I just described. You can avoid those flaws simply by using other software.
> They also don't cover damage to other cars, only to the rental vehicle itself.

But that's covered under the liability insurance, which is mandatory in most jurisdictions and included with base rental fees already. In the US it's mandatory, too, AFAIK, but the the default insurance will usually cover the minimum required by the state, so you may want to have a separate liability insurance after all with a higher coverage.
So from the post you responded to

> The idea that NFTs somehow help in these kind of situations is utter nonsense

is accurate. Is your point that NFTs wouldn't hurt the situation? That's a different claim.
cdaddr is an unreadable monstrosity. Keeping it around for the sake of reusing good code from decades ago is one thing, but let's not praise it for giving programmers a compact way to retrieve a nested list. It is too easy to mistake "cdaddr" for "cddadr" in a large codebase and the bugs it would introduce will probably be very hard to deal with.

If your list structure is so complex that you are using cdaddr or anything like it, you did something wrong. You should use defstruct with human-readable slot names to create more readable and easier to work with code.
No but how to stop thinking
Yes, the problem with strong static typing in many languages is that you have to make decisions about typing at exactly the worst time (at the beginning), while you almost never know up front exactly what you need.

For me the ideal would be a language with the expressiveness and fast dev times of Python, and then type information would be collected from actually running the program during development and would gradually shift from auto-generated type hints to more concrete type declarations that could be enforced but that would also assist in compilation & optimization.
That's a different issue. We're talking about software not "opsec."

When the military issues secure communications devices, it makes damn sure that BOTH SIDES have a secure device.
Not sure if this counts, but I truly believe that very few people are actually evil. It’s something that is always in the back of my mind when dealing with troublesome individuals. People aren’t bad or trying to get you, they just have different world views, different perspective or just on a different path. It helps prevent conflict and helps me meet others with the kindness they deserve.

Except that one developer working for a former client… DUDE, what hell’s your problem! Your a liar and a conman.
Thank you for pointing out what the consequences would be of allowing student loans to be discharged by bankruptcy.

You're right that Windows 10 is "generally okay" on an old CPU, even for relatively heavy dev work. But I just upgraded from i7-3770k to i9-12900k and it made me realize how much time I spent _waiting_ for every little thing. I've been switching back and forth between the two as I migrate, and the old CPU definitely feels like a dog to me now.

Aside: I was planning to switch to Linux too, but apparently this CPU/chipset is "too new" for Ubuntu to work, so I'm stuck on Windows for a few more months.

The Creality Ender 3 series is cheap, well-built, and super-well supported. The entire design is also open source.

Your link mention historical correlations that contain the impact of central bank policies, it's not clear to me how well this generalizes to a given and strict supply policy such as the one bitcoin has.

I guess we'll see in the long term what happens, I'll just say that the correlations between BTC/USD and ETH/USD make it less than obvious.
Ok, I could agree with that tax. But it's not the sweeper service that will make the city beautiful, sweeping is a bare minimum.

But anyway, how does advertising relates to development? Do you have a clear answer to this? Because not every economic activity feeds the development process, some even slow it down.
>Even the digital property liberators/internet pirates don’t test their software. I feel like I’m on an island with a small population of test enthusiasts.

Ultimately, what's the point. The tool either works, or it doesn't. Then you patch what doesn't work so it does work.

Heck even the Linux kernel isn't tested.

Unit tests are so management can have a good metric to sell code quality. I don't know any time unit testing has actually benefited shipping faster (which really is the only bottom line those above you care about)

There's no commercial incentive for any other game to integrate with Ubisoft's NFTs. Doing so would be a pure act of charity with no upside to those companies, and with a ton of liability since Ubisoft would be allowed to mess with those NFTs which would now be part of the customer experience on a separate game

What about bootstrapping a new game?

If you were launching a new game and wanted to steal marketshare from Ubisoft, integrating their NFT's (if they are open and not in a closed ecosystem) would be beneficial
