This bug impacts me. What sucks is the resale value would probably take a hit if I wanted to resell before August when the issue will supposedly disappear. Does anyone have a thought on how it will fix itself? In my head, we're already at '22' for the start of the variable value and it's only going up, so I'm not seeing how it'll fix itself intuitively.

I'm really curious how car dealers with a CR-V on the lot are handling this. I wouldn't want to buy a car the clock doesn't work on, and imagine most people wouldn't either. And with the clock resetting every time the car turns on, it's not like you can set it for the day and be fine while you run errands. I'm either stuck with this car until the automatic fix in August or until they come up with a better fix (which hopefully is free) or I need to replace the head unit to get a fair deal. Given the chip shortage and crazy price of cars, it may not be an issue for me, but it certainly is for some.
Sure, the definition of the "best result" is the question.

In short, "the best approach" to me is one that:

1. Is suitable for all sorts of concurrency

2. Has a low memory overhead and low switching costs like the async functions today

3. Is the most "ergonomic" (leading to fewest bugs, easiest debugging and easiest maintenance): yeah, this one is not too well defined either, which is why I would measure developer satisfaction and things like defect rates to establish which one is it, not that this makes it any easier to define :)

4. Provides "enough" safety and encapsulation without impacting performance (much)

If 4 has a huge cost, perhaps go with special-cased "async isolated" concurrency primitives when you need added safety in addition to "async", and if the cost is low, allow not paying it anyway with the inverse ("async unsafe"): basically, different defaults depending on what's realistically achievable and nature of the language.

I think that ideal lies somewhere near the "non-cooperative multitasking" async programming approach, but I am not sure, and I haven't played with enough recent developments in programming languages either to know if any one of them gets close.

But having thought through it a bit with this comment, I think my main gripe is how your (developer's) decision of the concurrency tool (threads, async/await, callbacks, green threads...) affects your syntax simultaneously (eg. why should awaiting a compute-intensive task be problematic? that's an implementation detail a developer should not have to worry about if all else is equal).
Who creates malicious software, hijacking websites, computer viruses? There exist morally murky demographics in every profession, and it's mostly for money otherwise not available to them.
I've never met anyone that speaks about themselves exclusively in third person in any walk of life. It seems like something that could get semantically challenging fairly quickly. I also wonder if eccentricities are independently distributed. Is a person hosting one eccentricity more likely to acquire another? I wouldn't have thought so personally. To wit, finding a guy that seems to have at least 4 -- at least by my count -- strikes me as very likely fictional.

Where? Costs vary hugely across the world
I agree that PCR testing requirements complicate things. I actually think COVID rules in general regarding flights are problematic - it adds a lot of uncertainty to the process of traveling.

If we want to have a testing requirement, I believe there should be some kind of general insurance set up - possibly by the state - to accommodate changes in travel plans due to a positive test result.

Also if a passenger has to fly later due to cancellation, the PCR validity window should be relaxed up to an additional day or two, assuming they are still asymptomatic at the time of the flight. Or maybe a second antigen test taken at the airport should be accepted.

I understand why testing requirements exist, but some balance should be made to make travel dependable, and if the government is going to add additional requirements to travel, it should ensure that all the costs and difficulties are not passed on directly to the citizen.
Sure. But they can’t fool people into accepting just because their “business model” relies on it.

I don't think anyone should legitimise a country that bans its owns citizens from entering it, detains refugees on islands and is generally backwards, racist and repressive.
It's funny that you treat this as a theoretical tech question rather than, say, just asking one of us ancients who was there, Gandalf, 3000 years ago.

Yes, it was. The Commodore 128, for example, was even capable of displaying extremely short (probably 30 frames or so) hardcore porn loops in what was likely MCGA or the equivalent. I can say this without consulting manuals or spec sheets or anything but being a horny wee geek and seeing my first penetration on my neighbor and fellow adolescent nerd's little TV screen, after waiting a half hour for it to load from a floppy drive (pun intended). We felt like sophisticates at the Playboy Mansion.

Also I think I had one monochrome low res boob pic on my Apple IIe, which I hid from my parents like a serial killer hides his special trophy room, at least until I found the box of VHS tapes with the labels torn off under my grandpa's bed. After that, green boobs at like 120x60 resolution or whatever it is wasn't very exciting anymore.

So, yes. Yes, it definitely was. :-D

When disallowing setting such cookies will render the website unusable, this technical difference is not really meaningful. In practice a website can freely deny you usage without the correct semantic usage of cookies made up by them — that’s why laws are very important.

Have a look at a Yoropen. I've been using the executive zII for years now and the executive pencil is my everyday 'beater'. In fact I like the pencil so much I've got two.

What specifically isn't clear to you?
The problem with these is the cognitive overload that comes from dealing with cookie prompts on every website you visit, aka “cookie consent popup fatigue”. Regulators need to do better.

Cookie popups such as these wouldn’t be a problem if we had a handful of websites. But they’re not helpful on the modern web with tens or even hundreds of sites visited by nontechnical or simply busy / task-focused users every day.

Please have a look at the comment chain to get context about why I brought this up. The point is that the EU’s guidance around cookie popups is part of the problem today (I know they had good intentions though).

The latter half is a purely speculative opinion piece and, in my opinion, trues to blend too well with the facts in the article.

> The ultimate dystopian scenario involves giving police the power to utilize similar technology to completely disable the functioning of a vehicle if the driver is deemed to have committed an infraction. This doesn’t need to be a criminal offense, if the pursuit of social credit score schemes continues to become more invasive, it would eventually be used as a form of punishment for everything from unpaid utility bills to offensive comments posted on social media.
Yup. And that concept is still alive. If you act uncomfortably, there are people will assume it means you are better. (Had collegues express pretty much that believe a two years ago.)

It led to being strange cool in the "in-group" which led to perfectly socially aware people acting strange where it would them cool points.

I am not complaining here, I enjoyed it back then. Only later I realized what went on and how much of the "strage" were actually "very high social skill being used".
I mean they could have also chosen to just stop tracking people. Getting annoyed at the fact that sites are now forced to make you aware that they're building up a profile of you seems a bit odd.
This has been on the cards for a while, I can’t see how this is so controversial.

It’s fairly easy to pass a driving test. You can then buy a 2 tonne monster with heaps of power and very little to police how you’re driving. You can be speeding, intimidating other people etc and you’re unlikely to get caught.

As someone who strives to drive safely, I welcome this.

Oh and Big Bad Government track my phone and the Covid vaccine microchip already so what’s another tracker?
The fact that most of the things normally put here in HN on this kind of topic are already in the article tells me that the general tone of "privacy is a government Vs private individual battle" is starting to become widespread public knowledge.
>bans its owns citizens from entering it

How so?
Or regulators could stop micromanaging tech as a way to extort fines and pander to the public. Let those who care go elsewhere or use browser tech (like Firefox containers) and client side solutions to control privacy. 95%of people could care less about tracking and find the cookie popups a PITA. Regulating these things is a slow whack-a-mole game resulting in very poor use experience.
Germans are notoriously „under-tested“
Absolutely. I wouldn't dream of expecting anyone to do anything "at our say so", be that in-person teaching, vaccine-taking, mask-wearing, close proximity in social situations...

But this thread started with the observation that many private Catholic schools ARE just getting on with the job, and as a result parents are voting with their feet and heading there in droves. These are not teachers being forced; it's just their ideology leads them to make a different risk/benefit calculation to others.

And yet this thread is full of comments arguing that the system of endless global restrictions "works for the vast majority of people". To me and many others, that just seems like wilfully ignoring the harm to our children rather than seeking a way out.

I'm sure I don't need to link to the many MANY studies that have shown how damaging lockdowns have been to our kids' outcomes, and these negative effects hit the poorest kids the hardest. We should be doing everything within our power to undo the damage, and yet so many are willing to stick with restrictions for the foreseeable future with no exit strategy. THIS is why parents are looking for a way out for their kids, and why private schools like those mentioned above are seeing enquiries sky-rocket.

Why the hate for those who seek a return to normality? I don't understand it.
I've had more than one YKK zipper fail on very expensive technical jackets. Not sure if I was just unlucky, or your statement is wrong.
grewing up in germany I also remember that my parents/grandparents regularly went "on a cure" somewhere in germany (on top of vacation), often somewhere near the sea, which where prescribed and paid partially by health insurance ("parent-child-cures" where also quite common).

protip for the german people here... you can claim up to 10 days "bildungsurlaub" every 2 years (in some states paid/in some unpaid) and yoga retreats or similiar are also possible ;)
Based on what independent media report, my understanding is the same. Protests began after 2x gas prices surge. Local law enforcement was not able and/or was not willing to quell protesters. The president of Kazakstan claimed that protests are "terrorist attacks that sponsored and organized by foreign actors" and asked Putin and co. for military help.
This is an inspiring one

Cookies are not the only way of tracking, and you've just indicated your consent to whatever server side fingerprinting the ad platforms might be doing, so I would say no.
Don't sell yourself short. I've taught college in the U.S. and your writing -- although not perfect (nothing is incorrect, there are just little tells in terms of idiomatic sentence structure and comma use) -- is easily within the range of native English speaking college students, especially in STEM fields. I'd also say it's notably better than most J->E or K->E bilingual students I've seen, so extra congratulations for your fluency given the fairly difficult language gap between Japanese and English. :)

What are the most hilariously named mathematical objects?
Isn't that generally the case? I have never seen a situation where the airline cancelled a flight and didn't have to refund the passengers or offer another flight. Maybe a secondary/discount travel agency would make it hard to get a refund, but I'm pretty sure an airline can't just not fly you and keep your money.

I was refunded a flight just last week in the US.

And in Europe, there are laws on the books that the airline has to take care of you if there's an extensive delay. For instance, they have to pay for a meal at the airport if you have to wait for more than a few extra hours, and put you up at an airport if it's going to be overnight or offer a replacement train ticket.
Actually the trapped without internet thing makes me think. Why not do some sort of dead-man-switch? I.e. when you haven't committed (or been online) in X months the project is transferred to your successor.
> It's a shame there aren't more big fines for shitty sites, like stackoverflow.com, that punish people who don't accept all cookies by prompting on every visit.

Cookie banners should be made as much annoying as possible so that people hate it and begin to protest that law.
Github doesn’t have any popups interestingly, as well as a litany of other sane websites. Just because most of them are trashy and want to track you, it is not the fault of the EU. It is annoying but at least you know what’s ahead of you.
Well, given the US-Russia conflict over Ukraine, this conflict is awfully well-timed for the US.
There is no EU legislation that mandates cookie consent. In fact with the GDPR the old cookie-banner law that required you to inform of the usage of cookies was abolished. The cookie banners is the industries own perverted solution to the problem of asking for consent when there is no other legal basis for processing personal information.
IIRC Stackoverflow has ads and thus all the nastiness that comes with them.

This seems like sensationalist blogspam. Is there not a more direct source that could be used?
Thanks for the reply Jakob. I agree with what you are saying.

When JET.jl works it is great. But for large projects it didn't even return when I tried it. I must have waited at least half an hour once.

VSCode seems like it is offically blessed and maybe I should just cave and use it for Julia. I use vim/neovim for EVERYTHING else though. Taking me out of my extremely custom tmux + terminal + vim workflow just for Julia development annoys me unnecessarily much. Do you know if there's work on getting this to work in vim/neovim?

ErrorTypes.jl, InlineTests.jl, ReTest.jl, SetField.jl all are awesome and I've used them in personal projects. I want to see them in the core language. Maybe ErrorTypes.jl is asking for too much, but tests sorely needs improvement. A SetField like feature literally had a PR open for years and then was just closed

Without these features in the base language, adoption is going to be so slow. Convincing my team to add a dependency is a lot of work, including updating internal documents, best practices, internal training for how and when to use a certain feature, etc.

Just abolish third-party cookies as a concept. Problem solved. It's that simple.

All browsers already have a setting whether to accept third-party cookies. It's just a matter of changing its default value.
This seems like a nightmare for web devs
So the solution here would be a fine that is also affecting the developer. Knowinbly aiding in breaking a law is usually frowned upon. “I did what they said because they won’t pay me otherwise” usually doesn’t fly.

I understand it’s hard to say no but it would perhaps be easier to
say “we’ll build that but it’ll cost you 5x more because we would be taking a legal risk”.

Making the option to follow the regulation cheaper has to be the goal.

Anecdotally, I feel that some sort of tool like this is being used on YouTube as well. I don't use other 'social media' platforms.

I've created two accounts, one where I mostly watch left-wing videos and one where I watch more right-wing videos. Mostly local news and political discussions.

From the comment sections, it seems that the left-wing videos are very often 'under attack', as if someone sees a new upload from a channel and shares the link in a group, where group members comment (and dislike, RIP) in a negative way and about semi-related topics. Mostly conservative rhetoric and lately conspiracy stuff as well. Also upvoting of similar comments and negative replies to comments from 'normal' viewers.

I don't see it that often anymore in the past few months, but last year it looked like an obvious pattern to manipulate the discussion. Maybe the comments are all from unconnected individuals, but it felt unnatural and coordinated.

Actually you don't need sophisticated tools for this, just create a WhatsApp/Telegram group with a couple hundred fanatics that share links with each other to bash/hate on.
Yes and yes. People shouldn’t have to though. Instead the regulation should be set up to make it a legal risk to aid in breaking the regulation too.
I do have a friend who often replaces "I" with "the <lastname>". Peculiar thing. Sometimes slightly cool, most often just annoying.
They can barely get them to pay taxes, let alone pay fines. Give it time and keep on avoiding sites which break the law
Honestly these cookie laws are a shit show. The experience of browsing the web in Europe is shit due to all the popups asking you about cookies. Browsers have extensions to manage cookies, why force website to come up with their own unique UI for cookies? Furthermore cookies are not even user-friendly concepts, they are made to be digested by machines, it’s such a misunderstanding of regulators type of situation.

>While Belgians took part in the assassination, it wasn't like it took place in a peaceful country, out of the blue.

One must have an extremely warped world view to be able to look at Belgium and Congo on a world map and handwave away the assassination of a popular leader due to his antiexploitative economic views.

Some here buy the false narrative that most westerners are in Africa doing charity, I can tell... The reality is Africa is the largest net creditor to western nations and Africans have been forced to send charity TO Europe and the US for a few centuries now. Almost every foreign-funded assassination is tied to resource theft, your framing seems to ignore that Elephant in the Room on purpose.
Insecure Amazon S3 bucket exposed personal data on 500k Ghanaian graduates
Greenwashing and people defending their bags against what they see as attacks. I suspect a number of people are aware that it's bullshit but handwave anyway, and then a lot of people buy the bullshit because they're emotionally invested.

I like(d) everything else about bitcoin even though it's dated technology now, but proof of work is unjustifiable, the incentives create an extremely negative externality that aren't offset by its potential as borderless, uncensorable money. Especially when other blockchains avoid this issue entirely.
There’s a lot of selection bias, since a great many developers who would quit when asked to brazenly disregard privacy also wouldn’t interview at Google or Facebook in he first place.

There’s a lot of a-moralistic attitude towards FAANG on Hacker News, which honestly I find strange; Google and Facebook in particular are just giant douchebags with lots of cash.
