If (you're into microoptimizing things and) all you care about is whether they're mobile, you can leave out `Type=caller-name` to save a whole one cent per lookup :)

And if you're doing this before you try to SMS them, you can skip the lookup entirely, if it's a landline you'll just get an error back.

(I work at a company that uses Twilio heavily and it's full of this sort of microoptimization)
I think the issue is that since email is more and more required to interact with the Government services, they should also provide a usable alternative. Why have your citizens rely on random foreign services from which they may be cut off because a bot somewhere is having a bad day?

In France at least, many people (mostly the elderly) are having a hard time using computers and such. Some Government agencies have dedicated personnel to help them with filling in the forms and such on dedicated computers. It could probably be easier for them if they also provided email instead of relying on a third party provider. Grandma lost her password? No biggie. If she has her ID, we can reset it for her. Good luck getting any kind of support from Google / Yahoo in such a case.

Of course, I will explicitly say that I would be very much against such a service being compulsory for the people. I just think it should exist.
Price isn't the issue, the issue is that marginalised people can be denied service outright. E.g. if you don't have a phone you can't sign up for many of those services. If you have an unusual name you may be rejected. And if you have unpopular political views you may be kicked off.
Just remember that just because you're using .ini/.json/.toml files doesn't mean there isn't any way of executing code from changing their values, it's up to whatever is using the files if there is any way of executing code via them.

One example is package.json. It's a JSON file, yeah, and normally doesn't contain any code. But one of the fields is `scripts` which can contain a object with a key like `preinstall` (and more) that runs those as shell commands at different lifecycle of using `npm`.

So just because you're using those languages/syntaxes, doesn't mean there isn't any way of executing code via them.
I have no clue how widely implemented it is, but as far as NTP is concerned we're currently in era 0 which spans from 1900 to 2036. When we reach 2036, we just move to era 1 and have another 136 years until we reach era 2. NTP itself should be resilient to this kind of issue by design.
So? That sounds like the applicant's problem if they do not want to accept the buyer's offer.
Yours has captcha, which can be worse.
You chose iSCSI and the Vive Cosmos, this sounds like a you problem.
I'm basically in agreement with you; while I've seen some good use cases for HA, much of it is indeed falling into some other camp (even the person who needed it to have a single place to adjust the 18 lamps in their basement; it is a bit of a luxury to have 18 separate lights in a room).

However, are you sure that resources are scarce? It seems to me we are rather too good at extracting them and turning them into commodities.

> people will go very far to justify a raise

I would say "this new position you are hiring for gets paid more than I do for the same work" is a very good justification for a raise. :)

If companies can be held accountable for injustices like this one, that can only be a good thing. Well, except if you're scared your employees will catch you out.

For the record: I've played the part of the employer in this specific issue and learned my lesson.

Log4j is used in many desktop/client software as well, some of them being network connected as well, one way or another.
FEC is not a problem, but the solution to a problem. FEC is "forward error correction", sending a few percent of redundant data, enough so the receiver can fix up corrupted packets on their own. (FEC was once a patent problem, but those have mostly expired.)

ACK storms aren't a thing with multicast; if FEC doesn't get you what you need, you wait a random time and send a NAK up the line, and the sender re-sends the requested bit. If the bit you were about to request shows up again before you get to asking, you discard the NAK you would have sent. So, if a lot of receivers miss the same packet, only one NAK usually goes back.

The Starlink transceivers are SDRs and extremely versatile. So, instead of playing games with modulation and subcarriers, it probably uses its whole band on each packet, effectively broadcasting all packets, and receivers just pick off whichever packets are meaningful to them. The ones actually intended for more than one terminal are the "broadcast" packets, differing only in how they are processed by the terminal.

The actually tricky thing is that broadcast streams cannot be like the regular end-to-end packet streams, where identical images are delivered in absolutely unlike packets. You need a higher-level negotiation identifying streams of interest by name and playback position, so that the uplink terminal knows when it is sending (or will have sent) the same stuff twice. If it decides some of its traffic should be broadcast instead, it can substitute packets from an equivalent, shared stream. The receiving terminal, meanwhile, is told that the stream it was getting is ended, and it should start extracting and caching content from the substituted broadcast stream.

The usual DRM nonsense will make this annoyingly more complicated: the participating broadcast receivers get a copy of a key to decrypt the broadcast traffic. Everybody else throws it away as indistinguishable from noise, like all traffic not meant for them.
glibc itself doesn't break ABI, it provides both 32-bit and 64-bit functions, just defaults to the wrong portion of them on the C API level.
The biggest blunder for me is that there were usable decentralized communication options before that were popular, but because of trying to monetize user's data FAANG started to tighten their grip on any decentralized solution, and I think they succeeded. They are already trying do to email the same thing they did to XMPP and RSS.

They have, then came Epic Games store and we're back to exclusives.

If you want a really good example of where video games got it wrong in recent years: Metro Exodus was sold as a "pre-purchase" on Steam before it released for some time (at least a few months, could be a year). A few days before release it went exclusive on Epic Game store IIRC and you couldn't buy _or download_ it on steam anymore. After some well deserved outrage, people who pre-purchased on steam could play on steam, but you couldn't purchase it for about another year.

Metro: Exodus was the only title I pirated in the last 10 years because they took away the ability to purchase it (and I like the series and have the first two titles on steam, and I bought and read the books because of the first game).

I don't think this is a fair comparison. You can replace a toilet, arguably upgrade to a better one with little to no disadvantage.

Taking away an email address someone has had and is their primary point of contact for years, possibly decades is irreplaceable. Being able to create a new one isn't equal to the old one.

Not sure about elsewhere in the world, but even regular mail isn't that painful in my country. Pay a nominal fee to Australia post and you can have all mail addressed to you forwarded from your old to new address for N months (or years).
This article and the other articles on this subject by the author confuse me greatly. He claims that the housing is extremely affordable in all of these countries. The countries he mentioned as good examples or large improvements are Japan, Germany, France, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Yet the home ownership of all these countries is around the 60 ~ 65% mark according to wikipedia[1], In germany it is as low as 51%. And this number is for the entire country, This number would be even lower in the urban cities I would wager. If the housing was truly affordable then why is home ownership so low? Furthermore looking at the highest home ownership rates it is mainly ex socialist countries, China, India, smaller Asian countries, and some Caribbean countries. I would guess that the large push to create commie blocks then the subsequent liberalization and deregulation in ex socialist countries is a large factor in this. So if the author wanted examples of "Doing housing better" (subjective) he should have looked elsewhere.

No idea what gives you that impression. Why would I be defending a random person I simply read a Wikipedia article about? Of course I heard him broadcast football games. Hundreds of times, from the mid-80's on. I have a pile of videotapes of games he did with Pat Summerall (who was also amazing in the booth). I was lucky enough to have a personal conversation with him once.

He increased my knowledge and understanding of football immensely, and I'm certainly not alone. His contemporary broadcasters, like Cosell & Meredith, had no idea how to break down a nickel defense or the ability to point out the key block that opened a hole for Walter Payton or gave Troy Aikman an extra second in the pocket to find a receiver deep. John Madden did that consistently for two decades, with a passion and exuberance that was unmatched. He was able to clearly explain why Lawrence Taylor and Reggie White were so effective at causing chaos defensively -- but also, in the rare cases when they were neutralized, how o-lineman did so and what blocking schemes were frustrating them. He brought attention to players, especially lineman, who were generally ignored, and explained the concepts of blitzing and stunting and pulling and various defensive fronts to the masses, both why they worked and also how opposing coaches strategized around them.

If you weren't able to absorb any of his concepts and wisdom, if it wasn't "important" to you, well, that's your problem, but publicly posting so doesn't take away from Madden's greatness.
Do you honestly believe that Israel has not committed crimes against humanity, or do you think that the rest of the world is stupid enough to be convinced that Israel has not committed crimes if only presented with enough propaganda? The use of the terminology "embarrass" would seem to suggest the latter.
"4K streaming" is such a joke

They compress and screw up the video quality so much that even calling it 1080p is a stretch in my opinion

Most people have houses/screens too small for 4K to be visible anyway, though, so I guess it's easy to get away with providing such a crappy service
Would it suffice (tech aside for a moment!) if you could migrate your email adress with you from one provider to the next?

Like for phone numbers (at least here you can migrate the whole number, even with ndc)

The state could give out an emailadress like a social security number and you just use that as an alias and can choose whatever provider you want.

And for these emailadresses the providers would be obliged to take you. (Like for mandatory insurances. We have them where I live)
EVE definitely doesn’t have a play-to-earn model. It has a way to pay your “subscription” via the in-game currency but this transaction is still one way and you can’t redeem the playtime token outside of the game for real money (without breaking T&Cs). The play-to-earn elements are the same as all MMOs, in the meta-game with gold farming which CCP still crack down on heavily.
I thought so but it seems to be limited.

Swimming, jogging etc is amazing at relaxing, and making you want to sleep.

There is no "no default", your distro will ship with one or the other. Very few people compile and ship glibc, upstream defaults only matter in the way they affect distro defaults.
That really isn't how most health insurance works in the US now. As far as I know, there really is no such think as refusing health insurance to an eligible person. Now other types of insurance like life, home, auto, those are a different story. But regular health insurance just has to accept your application.
I'm not familiar with the game in the article, but I think the author is referring to the inclusion of in-game tasks that have no benefit or reason to exist other than to create an artificial "requirement" for work of some sort.

Honestly though, who cares? Even if it's a "bullshit job", you can perform it from the relative comfort of your home, mostly on your own schedule; so it's better than most BS jobs in the real world. In my opinion, the more opportunities afforded to people to earn money, the better.
One thing that I always ask myself when starting down a thought process like this one is “But does it have accessibility benefits?” In this case, being able to turn on lights or raise blinds remotely has a clear and obvious benefit to people with motor difficulties.

Drug costs are mostly a function of development and marketing (there are exceptions where production dominates). Development cost is dominated by cost of human trials. It is not clear that drugs (particularly for non animals not destined for human consumption) should be as expensive as human drugs. And that is before getting to to unusual gap between US drug prices and international drug prices.
Paying someone an amount that you are willing to pay and that they are willing to accept is not an injustice.

If your product is not good enough to be used safely by your expected customers then it shouldn't exist, I'm not Amazon and I don't have all the man-years power of thousands of engineer to think about a solution to this problem, I have a moral stance where I don't think this technology should be pushed the way it is, as an unfinished piece of shit that serves the purpose of collecting data, if there is an instance where it's been shown to be dangerous then it shouldn't be on the market, it's pretty simple.

I work in tech and I'm really fucking tired of getting unfinished products pushed to market so corporations (and their product managers) can use humans as guinea pigs for big tech to experiment on... Really, really tired.

As others have said, there many things which are much more practical to implement with "smarts".

In my case, I love my Hue (and similar) lights. It's not just a question of not getting off my ass to turn them on and off. It's the fact they can be dimmed, that at night if I get up I always press the same button, but the light won't blind me. I can also easily change the colors when I'm watching a movie, etc.

Yeah, I could probably buy separate dumb lights for each purpose, and turn them on or off according to the need of the moment. But I live in a small, rented apartment, so having random wires and tons of lamps all over the place would be much more painful than fiddling with an app (which actually works quite well).

However, I agree that the smarts should be able to be easily bypassed in case they don't work. With Hue, the lights can be configured to turn on automatically when powered on for example, so I can always turn on the light from my dumb wall switch if the controller is dead.

On transition from step 2 to step 3 there will be a great mess: some libraries in the OS distro are built with sizeof(time_t)=4 assumption and other libraries + application are built with sizeof(time_t)=8 assumption. ABI will break at random boundaries, and not just functions: structures will have incompatible layout etc.

If step 2 is omitted, then similar great mess will happen on transition from step 1 to step 3.

We need a better plan, like modifying compilers (for i686 and other 32-bit targets) to emit '32-bit time_t code' and '64-bit time_t code' simultaneously, and then resolve to proper functions later, at the link time.
It's great to see a community forming and the general enthusiasm.

But are there any vendors actively participating in or supporting Embedded Rust?

For example is any vendor porting drivers to native Rust?
I generally like cloudflare, but I've never seen anything that's convinced me they're immune to similar attacks. It would be more convincing to see whatever policies they have for protection, and perhaps more anecdotal evidence.
I really hope embedded rust can become the next rock-solid foundation. I need my code to build/run today and also in 10 years. We have code in our codebase from at least the early 90s but I suspect it's older than that.

I went into embedded because I really despise the code churn of higher level frameworks/languages. "We just released Qt5! Good luck rewriting your code."
> Thefts: Eh, too bad, but if most if your shopping takes place through Postmates & Instacart... did it really happen? Do you really care? You don't feel the pain all that much. So your response is kind of lethargic. You're not personally losing money so it's not so bad really.

Coming up with such an explanation involves a lot of mental gymnastics. We all know why this phenomenon is happening, why the guards are not intervening and so on.

As for your other points: the idea that the rich prefer to live in a city plagued by homeless drug addicts and robbers getting away unpunished is absurd.
Thanks for the correction. The point stands.
I does have, it is well known and it has existed for years.

The remaining criticism now is that the default for one-on-one chats is still the more convenient normal point-to-point-encrypted chat type instead of E2E-encrypted (which, in Telegrams implementation is less convenient since it doesn't sync between clients, which again is reasonably for those messages where one really cares about secrecy in the context of day-to-day messaging apps).

As usual: I only observe this from the outside. For what I know maybe Putin reads my messages before he goes to bed every night to fall asleep because I mostly use ordinary point-to-point encrypted messages which can be intercepted if Telegram is a secret FSB front or if Telegram isn't careful. Note however that for all we know maybe Biden reads my mail too to fall asleep since that too isn't end-to-end encrypted.

I only comment on observable facts or statements that haven't been debunked. The last means I haven't verified the crypto of any app, I take it for granted that if it is broken someone will figure out just like when WhatsApp sent plaintext messages over port 443, and even faster with Telegram since there are so many who wants to find flaws in it.
There's no reason to believe this is true about the universe, but it is a fun idea to think about. We know so little about consciousness, intelligence, and the brain in general. It is amazing how much insects seem to accomplish with so little.
Oh I didn't mean "random" as in "could change". In fact "random" was about the unspecified .so blob, not the http archive.

But this is what I mean, you only want full reproducibility in a "corporate" environment. In a FOSS desktop environment you often specifically want to use whatever the system has.

Cost aside, a solution needs to be highly available. Third party services can not guarantee your email will be available for the duration of your lifespan.

There is also the issue of data stewardship, (democratic) governments can ensure independent reviews and be held accountable for security breaches and data misuse. They could also be held liable for losses incurred by service defects.
Because those tools are well-known and they allow people to get the result they want. They also can be used for other things and are not specific to a particular kind of drawing.

Tikz also allows a tight integration to LaTeX documents that no external tools achieve so easily. The drawing inherits colors and fonts, and bits can be reused across the document and can be shared with other documents too.

High learning curve but long term efficiency with quality results.

Tikz is not perfect but it has the great characteristic of existing.
I honestly believe that Israel is far more careful to avoid civilian casualties than any other nation on Earth. I say that as having been an infantry combat medic in my conscription service and in my reserve duty service.
