Fairly standard in the UK. Businesses don't want to lose face and see the share price drop so they keep everything as private as possible and only release the bear minimum information. Look out for standard phrases like, "A small number of our customers", "We are working hard to...", "Learn lessons....", "No-one will be out of pocket". Of course, these are mostly weasel words and they don't account for the fact that the amount of hassle these mistakes can cause cannot be captured in a pithy soundbite.

The truth is, though, that the massive amount of regulation is both good and bad. It is good that the consumer is protected but it is bad that it is easier for a bank to stay with 50 year old technology that is already approved than risk releasing something brand-new since mistakes are penalised so badly. I think a more open regime would be better, obviously accepting that the bank has to ultimately make sure that their customers don't lose out.

For example, "Dear customer, we are moving all mortgages to a new system which will make it much cheaper to run. Just in case some of the calculated payments are out by a few pennies, we will be giving all customers £1000 towards their mortgage to account for these". Much cheaper in the long run but we seem to prefer the costs of flogging a dead horse with the small amount of "sweetener" we could pay instead.
You said the reason we don't hear about those West African empires is that their wealth was built on the back on slaves. I will provide a detailed rebuttal to this idea.

Firstly, it seems highly unlikely that the wealth of the West African empires was primarily from slave use and trading. This is an argument that is made by people who do not actually understand the region and its history. Even the eminent Henry Louis Gates makes a similar error in an article [1], where he says:

> the Asante Empire in Ghana exported slaves and used the profits to import gold.

The Ashanti could not have been importing gold, since they were rather the source of much of the gold in the region. The wikipedia article on the Ashanti Empire [2] contains this statement:

> Before the Ashanti Kingdom had contact with Europeans, it had a flourishing trade with other African states due to the Ashanti gold wealth.

More generally, this is what [3] has to say about the economy of the west African empires with respect to gold:

> From the seventh to the eleventh century, trans-Saharan trade linked the Mediterranean economies that demanded gold—and could supply salt—to the sub-Saharan economies, where gold was abundant. ...Increased demand for gold in the North Islamic states, which sought the raw metal for minting, prompted scholarly attention to Mali and Ghana, the latter referred to as the “Land of Gold.” For instance, geographer al-Bakri described the eleventh-century court at Kumbi Saleh, where he saw gold-embroidered caps, golden saddles, shields and swords mounted with gold, and dogs’ collars adorned with gold and silver. The Soninke managed to keep the source of their gold (the Bambuk mines, most notably) secret from Muslim traders. Yet gold production and trade were important activities that undoubtedly mobilized hundreds of thousands of African people. Leaders of the ancient kingdom of Ghana accumulated wealth by keeping the core of pure metal, leaving the unworked native gold to be marketed by their people.

Since the gold was mined locally, it could not have been bought with the proceeds of slave trading. And since it was an activity of the people (not just the nobility) it is unlikely that vast numbers of people were forced to mine it as slaves. And gold was much more likely to bring in a lot of income than slave trading. Clearly, the source of Mansa Musa's great wealth was gold. This is attested to by the story of gold losing its value in Egypt because he gave so much of it away during his pilgrimage to mecca.

So I don't know where you get this idea that the wealth of the west African empires was primarily based on slave trading.

Secondly, even if slave trading was widespread, other empires and nations have done worse, and we still hear about their exploits. We hear about the supposed heroism of the Vikings and Columbus and his cohort all the time, even though they committed many, atrocities, including exterminations and genocides.

So your thesis fails on both counts.

I've been treating the pandemic as mostly over since I got vaccinated. I'm thankful for the vaccines, and I'm definitely not anti-vax or anti-mask, but I've been lax w/ my mask except in Nov when I felt maybe I should wear it until I got the booster as it'd been over 6 months ... I've been dealing w/ depression, PTSD, discontent, anxiety, and more for the past year... as a side-effect of the pandemic and maybe as symptoms of long-covid a year and a half ago ... (not sure on that). ..so the main issues I feel are gone...the lingering stuff -the after math of the protests, the vitriol on both sides, etc...and the world in general... yeah 2019 isn't ever coming back.

My biggest concern has been my kids (both under 5...and in preschool)... but not much I can do, if they get it we all get it anyways probably. Again another reason masks don't seem too valuable to me...my kids touch EVERYTHING.

In the future I'm still concerned covid could break out into a more deadly strain, or simply a NEW virus becomes pandemic and rinse/repeat all over again. Next time could be 10x more deadly and that'd be horrible...

Combat mission black sea has an interesting take about the potential Ukrainian conflict.

Simulations suggest that drone guiding long range laser riding munitions are going to absolutely wreck anything not moving, and heavy artillery will be raining on all spotted convoys, heavy and otherwise, to disrupt movement.

Countering aerial reconeissance is going to be key, and we're going to see shifts in the toe with a lot more light anti air assets being dispersed among troops.

> Instead of fixing these issues this incident will most likely change regulations in a way that it will be easier for banks to reclaim funds lost in similar ways in the future.

I think the rules are generally pretty clear on this: if you receive money by mistake, it is not your money, and you must return it (obviously if you don’t know where to return it to, you should try to find out where it is from and contact the sender, or try to get your bank to revert the transaction. Indeed asking your bank to revert it is probably the best way to return it). People who do spend the money that is accidentally sent to them can be prosecuted for theft.

Furthermore, accidental or incorrect transfers happen relatively frequently and sometimes with massive amounts of money. It is usually resolved with a phone call between companies.

There are some exceptions to these rules like the whole banque worms thing we saw recently, but that doesn’t really matter.

The problems here for the bank are:

- they are on the hook for any losses if they fail to get the money back

- there are a large number of transactions so there is a lot of work to do. Santander is probably trying to contact the other banks to process them in bulk.

I don’t think any regulations will or need to change.

If you’re wondering how crypto fixes this, I have two examples. 1. XRP let’s you mark one transaction as reverting a previous one, and 2. Binance accidentally duplicated a bunch of dogecoin withdrawals and then asked people to return the funds and suspended withdrawals hoping it would further motivate people to return funds.
This is more or less what I am asking. Apparently Web3 does not solve the problem of VC. Perhaps it does not even contemplate this as a problem.
Which original article? I would be interested to read it.
> In theory, yes. In practice few people use C++ fully, too often you find in-house "style-guides" vetoing specific things, such as Google's famous "no exceptions".

Almost never seen that in practice. I always see people talking about it in forums, but in real-world gigs I don't know people who artificially restrict their codebase with braindead rules like that.
Med student here. I'm not dismissing the idea that some people are wrongly diagnosed with ADHD, but what you're saying here is the kind of harmful nonsense that's been interfering with appropriate treatment for ADHD for ages.

Psychostimulants for ADHD are universally associated with better outcomes, even in people who appear to manage without them. They reduce depression, anxiety, drug abuse and mortality. Heck, a lot of people with ADHD even sleep better while on them!

Stop meddling in other people's evidence-based medical treatment.
That's a question worth considering. But fundamentally, it should be faster to write compiler output directly to the final executable than to write it to an object file that is then copied into the final executable.
It's simply a notice for when the material was (first) published, to establish what is the duration of the copyright. (c) 1999-2022 means "some stuff was published in 1999, some in 2022, and some in the intervening years". The individual entries will have copyright according to the date they were individually published---a new post doesn't extend the copyright of existing ones.
This is true, but considering Linux market position, this is not acceptable if Linux really wants to become mainstream.

Back in the day we had many Winamp clones. Some were arguably better, faster, lighter. Yet none of them took over. We have Spotify now. And it is nothing like Winamp.

It's not enough for Linux to be on par with Windows. It's not enough even to be better on every possible aspect. It needs to be its own category that makes Windows obsolete. Good news is the technology moves with a rapid pace, and Windows is not as well equipped for the future as Linux.
As someone who cares 0 for sports, and I was in a conversation with that person, assuming the context lends itself to more than just smalltalk, i would ask any of the:

- ice hockey? i don't know much about ice hockey, what are the rules / what makes team X so good
- do you play sports yourself? what do you like?
- what made you get into watching sports / how often / with whom?

Either you get a sports nerd that can talk at length about games and rules and training and teams and athletes, which is fascinating in a very nerdy way. Or you get someone who plays X with their kid, or has a small dad softball team, at which point you can ask what the other dads do, get a glimpse of a social network outside of your horizon. Or you can get into someone's love of sport and what situations it helped them overcome in their life.

I've had the "did you watch the game last night" conversation at airport bars and I learned so about other people from them. Knowing that people I would at first file under "loud schmuck with a basketball shirt" turns into someone who's been training every day trying to keep prison and addiction at bay is immensely intellectually enriching .

Hey David, thanks for draw.io/diagrams.net and I hope you liked the article!

I've found both of these before attempting any of this (I think you linked them to me on Twitter?), but was happy with neither of them: the point was to not depend on Docker, or Node, or have a solution that's Linux-only.

My solution integrates well with the rest of the pipeline that's all-Rust, and it works at least on Linux and Windows (macOS would probably be easy to support as well but I don't use it currently). It's very similar to `draw-image-export2` in spirit.

In my solution I made sure to ship a font I always use in diagrams (Iosevka) as a webfont, so I don't have to rely on fontconfig to find it - I'm not sure how that would work with either of the readily available solutions. And finally, I've left as a next step but: I am planning on keeping a Chrome instance running in the background (and an http server), and re-use it so there's less setup/teardown for each export.

I remember having such a nice discovery of "glitch art" when I was writing my own quantization algorithm (discrete cosine transform [and inverse]) and I had a bug but got nice looking outputs, like this one:

https://i.imgur.com/LMjg40v.png

Not sure I remember what the bug was (probably some overflow/clipping issues when dealing with 8 bit numbers) but the original image (above) was unprocessed frame from a movie (I don't remember which one).

Once the bug was fixed, there was little difference (except for the blocking effect of quantization). Was quite surprised how such a small bug creates such drastic visual difference.
It is most certainly not a koan. It is not a thing to put you in a state were you can understand a thing.

It is a teaching. It actually tells you what to think, and how to get there.

He talks about negligence, not attending. And then he lists a bunch of games, the last of which is "imitating deformities". That example alone should get you thinking about misusing your purpose, about using the mind to escape and not be present. Inventing dragons to fight. All that.

Sales going down by someone using your original world/characters in a way that is then deemed unpopular is definitely restricted/not possible in a world with enforceable Copyright.

And that was my point, not sales going down on their own.

Negative reviews have nothing to do with someone else being able to take e.g. James Bond and making him a homosexual or taking Conan the Barbarian and making him a woman or a sidekick etc.

Drastic or even small changes can always be unpopular and affect the whole franchise. If said franchise is no longer under your control alone, this is an argument pro copyright from the viewpoint of a creator.
From what you wrote, it appears you don't know the meaning of "reasonably", "decent", "exception" and that you set your mind to disagreeing with the author before even fully comprehending the post.

Don’t. The copyright year is not the current year. The copyright year is the year it was created / first published.

If you keep changing the year to the current year, you’re essentially lying about when it was created and artificially extending the duration of your copyright by one year per year.

If you put the wrong year, it renders the copyright notice invalid in the USA. This isn’t a big deal (creative works are copyrighted by default), but if you’re putting the notice there at all, presumably you care about it actually being legally valid.

Most people should just remove it. It doesn’t matter.
> USA: A move towards the political center, the decline of progressive left and alt-right. More even distribution of tech and economic activity from SF/NYC to across the country.

That's a neoliberal pipe-dream... the popularity of /r/antiwork w/ even some conservatives joining the anti-establishment pro-unionism throngs.

Progressivism isn't going anywhere. The next generation is struggling, even w/ college degrees to get by. The only side even trying to solve it is progressives, I mean look at how hated Manchin and Sinema are by nearly everybody in the democratic party. I'm guessing most of that is 'for show' they're the token 'fall guys' to keep the centrists saying hey "we wanted to be progressive but Manchin blew it! Oh shux! Maybe we'll try again next decade to get Medicare For All".

If there's a break up of left/alt-right I'd rather it be a joining forces of the inequal left/right members of society - and a realization about class warfare and how they fit into it. The right's nutty at times, but I think everyone can relate to wanting better benefits, more money, more time off for births, etc...

> Except, the size of the object file will inevitably change. So you are stuck reimplementing a mini-filesystem with logic for allocating/freeing blocks within your final executable,

It would be more like malloc/free than a mini-filesystem.

I don't think this is likely to be a big problem because the sizes of object files will often not change very much, we know how to implement malloc/free with reasonably low fragmentation, and it doesn't matter much if there is some wasted space in the final executable, when the goal is "we're going to build an executable that runs "pretty fast", for testing purposes".
Yes! Any "rich text formatting" in text elements is lost: there's no line wrapping (it adds an ellipsis in some cases?), the sizes are wrong, there's no italics, no bold, no color.. all of that is achieved with HTML markup rather than SVG: draw.io's SVG output is really more HTML+SVG than it is SVG, so eog / librsvg are not to blame here, they're not trying to support `foreignObject` - and neither are a ton of other SVG viewers people use.

The real problem of Twitter IMO is their retweet feature. This feature fuels hate and unfair attacks.

You should never be allowed to take a message sent to someone’s audience and transfer it to your audience. You should only be able to engage with their audience.

The only reason I imagine this feature exists is because it generates engagement and revenue for Twitter.

> a sprint / heavy session would feel good ... but fatigue ... would cause me to skip a follow up. This year's focus will be on consistency - only do as much as will allow another session the next day

One of my martial arts instructors had a memorable saying for that - "train today, so you can train tomorrow." His point was similar to yours - he often had to temper enthusiasm for hard or over training in favor of consistency and longevity.

Regarding the garage gym - I did something similar and agree it's an excellent health/life investment.

I avoid back squats due to injury, but I do have a station for belt squats, a flat bench w/olympic bar, hex bar for dead lifts, an assortment of plates/dumb bells/kettle bells, all on gym mats. Having a gym next to me has provided excellent motivation to get out of my desk chair 3-4 times a week to use it. I dropped 25 lbs this year thanks to consistent routine, and my body and day-to-day feel so much better; less joint aches, better sleep, and more energy, mental clarity, and confidence.

To tie that back to OP's question on self care, avoiding burnout, etc. ... I'd say it's worth paying attention to mentions of physical fitness and exercise in this thread. Staying physically active and taking care of your body helps protect against some of the negative mental states or outcomes these kinds of threads try to avoid.
Toss out how? Is that the same as blocking them?
> Most parties consist of unrewarding, mundane chit-chat, easily forgotten.

You can choose the parties you go to, choose the people you talk to at those parties, and in those conversations, you're an equal participant. Finding meaningful, deep conversation with strangers at parties is possible. It does require some skill and patience, and it requires you "submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known," as the quote goes.

By that I mean that you can talk about the things you care about in a conversation, and you run the risk that other people will judge you poorly for it. It takes some personal fortitude to put yourself out there.

> Going to parties in the hopes of finding a new "life long friend" or "beneficial relationship" is like playing the lottery.

Either I keep winning the lottery, or there's something at play here besides luck.

This is a skill you can learn. It's a skill with tacit knowledge requiring real-world practice in order to develop it. There are also entire books, blog posts, etc. written on it, if you care.

It's intellectually lazy to casually dismiss things... like going to parties, sports, reading fiction, watching movies... you don't have to like parties, you don't have to be good at parties, but that doesn't mean that they're sour grapes.
