I don't think Sony has anything against GamePass on PlayStation as long as Microsoft pays its revenue share. After all, there's EA pass on PlayStation.

Anecdotally, I recently had a CPU fail for the first time and it was a 7nm one. Sent it to AMD, they verified the failure and sent a new one back. Meanwhile I have had assorted 22nm/14nm processors around the house chugging along for years without any issues.
The Danger of Atomic Operations
I have a Synology's NAS for almost 9 years now. It has 2 4TB disks in Raid (SHR). Also I have a external 4TB HDD with a copy of everything in the NAS.
The system is extremely reliable. I don't know if I'm lucky, but the first HDD took almost 7 years to brake. I simply replaced it and the system is still working 24x7x365.

As I have the MS Office subscription, the cellphone photos are also backed up in the OneDrive.
I mean, I guess if China convinces Taiwan to peacefully rejoin them, that's their right, and it'd really be none of our business, right? It seems like it would be quite a stretch, though, given recent events in the area. In any case, such a change would be slow enough that we could switch over gracefully.

Intel and Samsung are only a couple nodes behind, it would be expensive and annoying to change over but we'd manage it. I mean, go back 5 years, right? Computers have not massively changed since then.
Interesting write up! Did you happen to try this with a CTE instead of a subquery? ie something like:

WITH
tmp AS (SELECT accounts_other.id, COUNT(*) n
FROM accounts accounts_other
JOIN stacks stacks_other ON accounts_other.id = stacks_other.account_id
JOIN runs runs_other ON stacks_other.id = runs_other.stack_id
WHERE (stacks_other.worker_pool_id IS NULL OR
stacks_other.worker_pool_id = worker_pools.id)
AND runs_other.worker_id IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY 1
)
SELECT COUNT(*) as "count",
COALESCE(MAX(EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM age(now(), runs.created_at)))::bigint, 0) AS "max_age"
FROM runs
JOIN stacks ON runs.stack_id = stacks.id
JOIN worker_pools ON worker_pools.id = stacks.worker_pool_id
JOIN accounts ON stacks.account_id = accounts.id
LEFT JOIN tmp ON tmp.id = accounts.id
WHERE worker_pools.is_public = true
AND runs.type IN (1, 4)
AND runs.state = 1
AND runs.worker_id IS NULL
AND accounts.max_public_parallelism / 2 > COALESCE(tmp.n, 0)

I don't know this for sure, but in my experience it has seemed like Postgres is bad at optimizing subqueries, and will execute once per row.

What’s your point? How do you want people to think about the unvaccinated?

I’m sympathetic to the idea of not hating others, but it seems like you are beating around the bush here a bit.
If you're in the EU, you can start annoying them with “this is my legal right, pls fix”-type complaints. If you're polite, persistent, and keep escalating, you might even get all your data.
In all likelihood, yes: they are from a faction of the Labour party that was routinely surveilled by police throughout the 20th century (and more recently, in all likelihood).

The election manifesto for Labour in 1983 contained pledges to abolish the secret services, too.

Not to mention the fact that this same part of the Labour party is often engaged in protests that will have left wingers as attendees and speakers. They're very often on the sharp end of both surveillance and crackdowns on protest.

That combined with their belief that the police are racist (eg the Met) and that prison is generally harmful is not likely to produce an authoritarian programme.

They'd have dealt with large scale tax dodgers too, unlike the current leadership.
You can't dynamically solve a problem without acknowledging your own capacity to identify the problem. In my view arrogance comes in when there is inflexibility or a lack of attention to the problem. If anything, it takes some courage to proffer an opinion about how to really help improve a problematic situation.

Books are important. Undeniably, so are meals. A laptop can provide both books and meals in the long term. Speaking for myself, laptops were the most important (physical) tool in my educational and professional development.

Nowadays, it's tough to get a first-rate education without a computer...especially in (for example) Latin America, where physical access to informational resources can be challenging but data infrastructure tends to be present wherever you go.
Hey, I think you'll probably get better performance if you swap your subquery around a little from:

SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM runs runs_other
WHERE (SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM stacks
WHERE stacks.id = runs_other.stack_id
AND stacks.account_id = accounts.id
AND stacks.worker_pool_id = worker_pools.id) > 0
AND runs_other.worker_id IS NOT NULL

To:

SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM runs runs_other
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT *
FROM stacks
WHERE stacks.id = runs_other.stack_id
AND stacks.account_id = accounts.id
AND stacks.worker_pool_id = worker_pools.id)
AND runs_other.worker_id IS NOT NULL

Your previous option needs to hit every row in the stacks subquery to generate the count. The modified one uses EXISTS so it only needs to check there's at least one row, and then can short-circuit and exit that subquery. (a smart enough query planner would be able to do the same thing, but PG generally doesn't).
Didn't it come out recently that they tried to buy Sega 20 years ago, when they were just getting into the business with the XBOX?

Even beyond random mutation, it also makes sense to think about behavior in totality. Curiosity and a willingness to do insane things seem to be tied up in an overall system that does very well in maximizing reproductive success. But this doesn't mean that literally every behavior that results in individually optimal at spreading genes.

Human backs are maybe a good simple example of this: walking upright has been great overall, but has a lot of drawbacks that we suffer from such as difficult childbirth, back problems, etc. You could ask "what is the evolutionary advantage of lower back pain" and the answer of course is there's none, but there is still a broader explanation that makes sense when you consider the whole system.
I have to wonder how much investing in some of today's tech behemoths comes down to viewing them more as a holding company / investment firm and less about their original core products. Microsoft has lost tons of desktop share over the last decade, this should have been a death signal for them but instead amazing acquisitions like Mojang, GitHub, ActBliz have pushed them to an amazing market cap. Similar with FB loosing use as a social media platform but staying in business with Instagram/WeChat etc.
Having been in a situation where Postgres suddenly decides to use a much slower query plan on a hot query in production, I'd agree.
My password manager fills them in for me. E-mail means switching tabs and remembering which account I used to sign up for the service to know where to check.
There’s plenty of Java frameworks that are compile time too. Quarkus, Avaje Inject, etc all do their wiring at compile time.
That's not the definition though, is it?
States led by Democrats do have higher minimum wages, paid leave, better health insurance subsidies, etc.

Under the current federal electoral system, Democrats have no power to go further. They barely got a compromised ACA passed in 2010, and the votes at the federal level have moved in Republicans' favor since then. As we just witnessed, they do not have the numbers to get paid parental leave passed.

The young and idealistic should be able to understand that AOC is not going to be able to accomplish anything on the federal level.
Oh, sorry. I think I misunderstood your comment. I was comparing pre-2022 to 2022 rules for other business structures; I didn't realize you were implying they settle taxes as a non-business.
"Free will" is a gesture at the experience we have of deliberating upon and deciding our own actions, I don't think determinism really matters, as long as we're the ones doing the deterministic calculations by which we choose what to do.

But it's okay, I understand if you have no choice but to argue with that.
Why not? You've never sold one of your used books?
I have no problem criticizing both.

Indeed, one good criticism of cryptocurrencies is that the are sucking up a lot of the attention and money that could go into actual reform.

For example, contrast Bitcoin usage in emerging markets with something like M-Pesa. They both started at the same time, but M-Pesa has been a huge boon to the unbanked, whereas Bitcoin is a rounding error in those markets.

There is some overlap. There is the Buddhist practice of Maraṇasati (mindfulness of death, death awareness), which is very similar to the Stoic practice of remembering that death or loss can strike at any time. Similarly, Vipassana, or Insight Meditation, which is one of the forerunners to the westernized mindfulness meditation, includes a focus on impermanence.
Or maybe the government should keep their grubby mitts off my money until they’re willing to go after the billionaire class.

> The downside is that a PostgreSQL version update can change internal optimizer rules

This has actually happened relatively recently.

PostgreSQL Common Table Expressions (WITH x as (some query)) used to be optimization fences by default, meaning that you can influence the optimizer using a CTE. This is a well known technique among PostgreSQL users that resort to it for lack of optimizer hints.

In Pg12 they enhanced the optimizer to remove the optimization fence by default, so the query plans of existing queries automatically changed and sometimes became much slower as a result. If you want the old CTE behavior you have to modify the WITH clause via AS MATERIALIZED.
Even worse, the article's source appears to be six individuals affiliated with six different companies representing 0.0001% of the US workforce. None of their claims are verified or even investigated for accuracy.

Not to say that people aren't getting sick or that they aren't calling out but it's clear that the author has no authoritative basis to make any claim on the subject.
You can sell your copy, no matter what you have done to it, at least by the First Sale Doctrine in the US, and similar elsewhere.

What you can't do is sell the rights to the modified work, since they're in addition to the original work. When/if the copyright in the original expires, then you can (and you will have your own copyright in the modifications if they're substantial enough).

Crucially, you also can't make any copies of the modified work and sell or distribute them, so your derivative will be a legally-enforced one-off.

It doesn't mean that you can't profit from your modification of another's work (maybe someone will pay for your marginalia), but it does mean that you can't profit from the unauthorized duplication of another's work while their copyright subsists.

Which leads you to wonder why the article was published at all.
Exactly that. I work for an agency that was bought by global consulting conglomerate. This gave me insight into the workings at global companies that hire consultancies.

At first I really didn't understand why these global companies shelled out this much money for consultants until I understood that more often than not it is the lines of communication these consultants open up.

They make it possible for information to flow from one stratified silo into another. For IT to talk to marketing and marketing to talk to product. And so on.

Not that I really enjoy the political side and the PowerPoint side of the job, but at least I understood some things better.

Why are you jealous of someone not reading the other articles? Are they factually incorrect? I found them to be amazingly accurate.
I think you need to have a longer time horizon. Microsoft cannot justify spending $70B to offer the entire catalog of games for $10/month. They'll use this economic advantage to muscle out the competition and then they'll start adding tiers, raising prices, and other anti-consumer behavior.

This is a common tactic to win public approval for anti-consumer acquisitions. It's always better for there to be more competition, not less.
I think it is hilarious people think Greenwald is aligned to the right just because he is upset with Democrat party making mistakes.

He votes Democraft (despite being upset at them), is gay, and married to a (male) politician of the Brazillian far-left. (not just "left", his party has "socialist" in the name but has people with strong ties to the communist party and several members openly defend communism).
I actually thought it was really bad propaganda, and quite transparent. The arguments are incoherent, and they don't have any proposal.

They say "we aren't against e2e, we just want big tech to deploy it in a way that is safe". Well, either you have e2e or you don't; it's not surprising they have no proposal.

I agree that is probably part of it. In terms of "hard free will" that debate is of course entirely orthogonal - a soul would just be another part of the combined system under consideration, but I can very well see people seeing the two as combined.

> I don't think that these two topics really have much to do with each other, which I think can be seen by looking at what people really mean when they actually talk about free choice and free will in everyday life rather than in philosophical conversations where they're already trying to justify a position.

I certainly agree that people often conflate these two separate subjects. This is also part of why I push so much on definitions, because so much of the time we speak past each other when discussing these subjects.
They're definitely inconsistent.

This isn't quite right. The law doesn't stop you from selling a book where you have written in the margins, you just can't make and distrubute additional copies of the the new combined work. Though perhaps you could buy books to annotate in bulk and then distribute those legitimat but annotated copies. Actually, that is a decent metaphor for what an ad blocker is doing.
> Not only that, they're trying to weaken the other adblockers that are there to get rid of ads for you.

I'm going to need a citation for that. I don't use ABP for obvious reasons, but I don't really see them as a problem; they're effectively extorting money from advertising companies, which are absolute scum and deserve to lose any and all profits that they have made (not only for scummy business practices and an entire business model built around the worst kind of psychological manipulation and data mining, but actually convincing people that they are good for supporting a "free web" as if they are some charitable benefactors giving free money out of the good of their hearts). The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

I haven't been able to suss out any way that they do any real harm to the end users, but if they do actually do harm to other ad blockers, that would be some actual harm, but I am having trouble finding any evidence of this anywhere.
Paying people for work and enabling them to earn a living constitutes exploitation?
ENS Domains
Not exactly.

I mean, as a first note one of the ideas here is reading code already written in zig to understand how to write code in zig - so in that case you're effectively inferring the interface from what the authors of the code itself are treating said interface to be.

But also, interface documentation is pretty much never truly complete because there are almost always some implicit assumptions involved (and if you try and make all of those explicit you rapidly end up with documentation that's so verbose people's eyes glaze over when they try to read it so their model often ends up incomplete anyway so how explicit to be is itself a trade-off).

Then zig embeds its test cases in the source file, so you can look at what the authors have explicitly declared -must- work to help you know what the interface is intended to be.

Plus when I'm source diving, I've done enough of it over the years to be able to at least attempt to build up a model of not just the implementation, but of the author's mental model as they were implementing it, and if you can figure out their intent, it's much easier to guess what their code is -meant- to do and thereby what it will hopefully continue to do into the future.

If in doubt, though, leaving a comment in your own code as to what assumption you're making -and- writing a unit test in your own code that verifies the assumption continues to hold will mean that at least if it doesn't you'll see a test failure in your own suite that tells you it changed.

(or: "code to the interface, not the implementation" is absolutely the right thing to aim for, but in practice the line between the two is fuzzy and cases where you have to make a judgement call will always show up eventually)
> ... is you responsability as a parent to setup your child device to enter the correc tbirth date of the user, then the App Store could only allow the "kids" version of the application.

The problem is is that there is still a large portion of parents who will give their children devices despite being less educated on the dangers of online safety regarding children.

I think that tech companies should ask parents whether they are buying a device for a child at the point of sale (since children are unlikely to purchase a device for themselves; instead they wish for a device for birthday/Christmas), and at that point, those companies should in some way inform those parents about the dangers of online use. Better yet (though could further complicate the process of distributing devices) is to give the option for parents to set up parental controls while they are in the process of purchasing a device.

Implementing parental controls (which tech companies have largely done) that allows for parents to monitor their childrens' devices seems to be the only viable way to allow for both CSAM mitigation and end-to-end encryption to coexist, in my opinion.

>Income tax was supposed to be temporary.

Yes. But when it was temporary there were also very little in terms of federal social programs that people have become quite fond of. Do you propose we get rid of those safety programs along with the income taxes that help pay for them?
People tend to overestimate how reasonable it is to become a real competitor. Just because someone's sitting on a fluffy market with fat margins doesn't mean competition will just fly in and regulate pricing structures down for consumers.

Typically, quite the opposite happens and investors and entrepreneurs see the opportunity to compete, but quickly discount it because the risk to compete is too high relative to barriers to entry. As long as your barriers to entry are high enough, a bonus if on of the barriers is capital intensive (time is something many can sacrifice but capital can be conjured out of thin air), you're going to be nearly impossible to dethrone by a competitor coming in.

You can usually spot competitors a mile away approaching the outermost mote your castle has and head them off early, perhaps establish an early friendship, or acquire them at a low cost before they get anywhere near the crown jewels. The trick is to get the foothold and momentum in a market. After that it's difficult for competitors to actually compete unless you're asleep at the wheel.
