> Then the DA is not doing shit to charge those arrested

They are being charged and convicted, and UP explicitly acknowledges this.

UP is complaining that the convictions are based on plea deals to charges less severe than UP would prefer, and that cash bail is not being unconstitutionally abused (I mean this is pretty much black and white in their letter) as pre-conviction punishment of the legally presumed-innocent rather than bail terms being set based on what is necessary to secure appearance at subsequent court hearing.
There are reasons behind updates and auto-updates. Bugs, features, users which did not consistently update and were left with insecure or buggy software. Then again, updates are also a mess.

I think this is a problem which should have a mostly technical solution: If most software was updated as today and users could rollback at will, most problems would be solved. That's a better way than making updates illegal.
I dislike how Adobe forces you to have the latest version of their software, even if you don't care about not having their support, but I think some people could could sue them for not having that support and some other legal issues.

I know this because I have to help a friend to update from Windows 7 to Windows 10 due to this. She know have a relative slower OS, a slower Photoshop version, and no benefit to the work she do.
The app will eventually stop working because of incompatible updates to the phone OS.
What people definitely don't give enough importance is CO2 buildup as well. The more isolated a place is, and smaller, the more environment friendly it is BUT the more likely it is to build up CO2, which leads to headaches.

I installed a CO2 meter both at my current home, and at my parent's home for when I go back for Christmas. In my home, it's a fairly big open place so it takes ~2 days of closed windows (0-3C outside) to reach 2000PPM (recommended under 1000, above 2000 starts affecting you, 5000 is the legal limit[1]). However, at my family home where I grew up it's a tiny room and it reaches 3000-4000 just by sleeping there with the window and door closed. So the headaches of "visiting family" might in big part be explained by this.

PS, incidentally in Spain!

Office 97 is probably missing support for modern Unicode (i.e. astral planes). Apparently Office 97 was the first version to support Unicode at all, but I bet it's BMP only.

I also highly suspect Office 97 has no support for modern OpenType features, so your text may look worse, depending on the font.

I don't miss id software, because they're still here, continuing to make amazing games. The last two Doom games were excellent.

They don't usually fail gracefully due to how engineered it got

I do have a whirlpool top loader from more than 20yrs ago, I can tell it's designed to fail gracefully and I dread the day it dies and I'd have to replace it with a 5yr lifespan crap.

(when you overload the whirlpool machine, it's a plastic part that breaks rather than taking down the motor by hard coupling with a metal part. when i just had to replace a $7 part I wish I could buy the engineer a beer.)
The Vacuum Has an API
Just my two cents: but this seems like an extremely uphill battle without an internal champion. I'd guess with how old this is and how many hands it has passed through, the legal team would struggle to put together the chain of agreements and paperwork to prove they have the sufficient rights to open source it. I don't seem them touching this without doing that first which makes it seem pretty much like a non-starter. I'd focus on trying to track down potential high ranking champions if you want to have any shot.

In my experience universities seek industry-academia collaborations. You appear to be in a good position to create such a collaborative project which would be a mutual win-win for all involved, including yourself.

They can arrest but they cannot prosecute. The state needs to try the suspects and enforce any penalties. UP police cannot do the latter -they can only arrest.

Maybe they can seek trial in a different locale if the railroad right of way has different jurisdiction.
Contract Bridge is still untouched. I'm not sure if it's because of lack of resources, but it has a lot of difficult elements: cooperation, huge search trees due to imperfect information, and information theoretic aspects of bidding.
Over the years I have become very attuned to the signs of autism. A lot of people who have autism don’t show any obvious signs and are undiagnosed. There are absolute tons of women who have autism and nobody realizes it. The two most common symptoms are being “bossy” or having a hard time keeping their observations to themselves and also being overly sexually promiscuous. These women have sons who are on the spectrum almost without variation. And these females are all very well adjusted and often have very good careers. It’s kind of maddening when you see these women giving birth to tons and tons of men who are super disadvantaged and often end up really badly, much worse than their mothers. Once you learn how to spot it you see it absolutely everywhere. I think it’s unfair that boys are being fucked so hard and there’s no help or recognition for their situation.

So no, women who have diagnosed autism do poorly but as everyone knows, even the liberal media, the disease doesnt treat the sexes equally.

I think you are projecting anger. I always become frustrated when the truth is brushed aside because of petty political or moral reasons. The truth is the light in this dark world.
On the contrary, I find etymological explanations often most enlightening. Although, I am fully aware that it might just be an origin of a word or a phrase and not the contemporary meaning. Your argument sounds defeatist to me. To paraphrase it: since the 'actual meaning' alone is not a perfect explanation we should not even try to understand the roots of words and their heritage. Then you can stop understanding the world altogether, because no amount of knowledge will remove all obscurity and contradictions. Yet human knowledge is prospering.

It's very expensive to write secure smart contracts, true, but it's also surprisingly expensive to write secure systems using more traditional technologies too.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by it being expensive to maintain a smart contract infrastructure, because if your application suits it, you can literally deploy your smart contract and forget it, and people can use it into the future without you ever having to pay server costs - i.e. for the person deploying the smart contract it can be much cheaper. To the extent that it would be reasonable to hope people would deploy public infrastructure as smart contracts, even if they wouldn't want to deploy public infrastructure as cloud services. If you're worried about overall costs like transaction fees, it's not at all true that there's no solution in sight for them. There are minority cryptocurrencies now with no transaction fees, and even if you are skeptical about their promises, the largest smart contract ecosystem around (ethereum) has a plausible roadmap for dramatically reducing transaction fees. You can checkout the first few that are deployed here https://l2fees.info/ but significant improvements in this area are still expected over the next few years on ethereum.

The point about the incentives is that if you are asked to create a mobile app for a bank to manage mortgages, it is possible but extremely unlikely that you will put the effort in to make this accessible via API to the users or the rest of the ecosystem who might want to create tools that create visualisations, aggregate data for the user, certify that someone in the real world is prepared to lend them significant amounts of data, etc.

If on the other hand you create a blockchain solution to manage mortgages, it is extremely unlikely that you wouldn't create a reasonable externally accessible API - it's the default way of writing blockchain applications.
The FBI released them [1].. as they were found out to be spies but not with any pre-knowledge about 9/11 so why even include that in the list? Unless you want to do a little dog-whistling. This is Anti-Semitism 101 (Jews controls the world).

It is interesting how much weight the author puts on bypassing process and bureaucracy to the success of the project.
You can visualize the actual execution of software at a very low level using the "graph views" built into "binary code analysis tools" (decompilers/disassemblers) like IDA Pro, Ghidra, and Radare2. Many of these tools can generate absolutely HUGE graphs showing the control flow of raw assembly, though they're frequently so large that they're more overwhelming than helpful. Hence why most of the time they are used to generate graphs of small and complex sub-sections of software.

Here are some example images showing control-flow graphs by different disassemblers/binary code analysis tools:

It's a bit more than that this time around.

The Democrats had a razor-thin majority in both House and Senate, but they tried to govern like they had a large majority. That... didn't work. And it led to people comparing what they promised (or at least tried to do) with what they delivered. From that perspective, the Democrats failed miserably.

That leads to a lot of disillusioned voters.

I don't know why the Democrats chose this route, but it was a spectacular, predictable failure. Especially, Biden should have known better. He spent a lot of years in the Senate; he should have known what couldn't be done with a 50-50 split.
That was my biggest pet peeve with the mandalorian season 1. Star Wars is fairly clear that droids are at or below human level competence, and tend to behave as generally intelligent entities but maybe with some dorky code of laws they must obey.

The mandalorian throws in droids that have machine like precision and just wipe the floor killing dozens of people in a firefight, taking no cover, and missing no shots, 360 no scope dual wielding. It broke a lot of unspoken rules about how the world worked.
What is the difference between cache and RAM according to you?

The super-simple answer is correct, but I think if you asked in an interview people would try to give a complicated and wrong answer out of nerves.
I'm kind of the opposite. I've never been all that impressed by photorealistic painting, myself. Oh, sure, I get that a lot of time and technique goes into these things, and I can certainly appreciate them as a technical achievement. But, much like overclocking a processor to 6.3Ghz by using LN2 cooling, I don't really see the point of it, especially since a digital photo can capture the same thing far more easily and faithfully.

Abstracts of all sort have room for me in them; photorealism doesn't. SFMOMA had a piece on display at one point that was simply a giant, all red canvas. It was quite an unassuming piece at first, situated at the very entry of the gallery exhibit it was featured in. But, the more I stood and just took it in, the more in awe of it I became. I could never imagine feeling that while standing in front of a painting that very well could have been a photo.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
Watch plastic defense [0]. 3d printed guns have come a long way.

For international crowd, something like FGC-9 is closest to reliable printed firearm they can get. It is hybrid. The barrel is created by 3d-printing jigs for electro-chemical machining a standard high-pressure pipe, yielding glock-like accuracy and durability of barrel. Bolt requires some work by hand. Rest is unregulated components and 3d printed.

In the US, the receiver ['firearm'] is the only component that looks regulated to the consumer. The UBAR for instance is a printed AR receiver reinforced with off-the-shelf U-bar that is extremely durable, and unless you're mag dumping or leave it in a hot car in the south or something should last thousands of round. The non-receiver parts can be bought without regulation in US.

Also bear in mind here, in self defense less than 15 rounds are typically fired.

>feel like really cheap, soft plastic.

FDM materials like PLA+ can be resilient when kept out of heat. Nylon-X and carbon fiber reinforced materials, depending on application, can provide even more rigidity and strength. Most of the stuff you've seen printed has probably been with cheap PLA with low in-fill (faster print time, somewhat hollow inside the shape). 3d printed guns are printed with very high 99+% infill (mostly solid inside the shape) with at least PLA+ to provide much more strength.

To a good first approximation, zero people mean "god be with you" when they say "goodbye". That might be the etymological origin of the word, but meanings shift over time.
Why does PostgreSQL include LISTEN/NOTIFY if I'm not supposed to use it for events?
Interestingly, this announcement makes it sound like you might not even need 32-bit libraries anymore:

- The 64-bit Windows-on-Windows (WoW64) architecture is implemented, and
supports running a 32-bit Windows application inside a 64-bit Unix host
process, using thunks to map 32-bit NT system calls to the 64-bit NTDLL.

- WoW64 thunks are implemented for most Unix libraries, enabling a 32-bit PE
module to call a 64-bit Unix library. Once the remaining modules are
converted to PE, this will make it possible to run 32-bit applications
without installing 32-bit Unix libraries.
i'm glad my anova has both manual and bluetooth controls, because after the first couple of uses i simply default to manual for everything. personally i tihnk modern cellphones are remarkably clunky devices for anything other than reading books and gps. they aren't even very ergonomic as phones, they're annoying for web browsing compared to laptops, and they are definitely not satisfying to use as controls for physical devices.
Yeah, and I also forgot the 'let's make sure the thing is an unrepairable black box, so make sure all manuals, part numbers, and diagrams are locked behind copyright, let's sue anybody on You-tube showing people how to modify or repair the thing, and let's be sure to add features and fixes only to Thing 2.0 Thing-as-a-service'
You could add a computed goto to really spice things up.
Yeah I don't consider Marxist-Leninists to be part of the left wing - I know they declare themselves to be, but in reality they're just petty tyrants who want to dominate others. By left wing parties I mean labour, green and democratic socialist parties.

Politicians are corruptible, but the free market actively promotes corruption - when the only motive is profit, morality goes out the window in favour of the dollar.

As I said I'd rather we had neither, but between the two only politics has the possibility of significant change in any direction that isn't inherently profitable.

> For earth rocket man, there is a moment before the quantum dice roll when the decision is indeterminable

Assuming earth rocket man's speed does not change, if he quickly alternates between 0c and 0.99c he could flip flop between "determinate" and "indeterminate".

Anyway for all system on earth the decision event would be in the relativistic present with no causality order

Part of the point of relativity is that t1<t2 is not a good test of "comes before"
Thanks for the further detail.

Unfortunately, I don't understand. For example, check out this screenshot from the OP: https://i.imgur.com/9kh5tBi.png

If the satellites are above (the horizon/field of view), and you're intersecting spheres, it seems to me that you would have the best precision in the height direction and worse precision along the sphere. Am I missing something?
People who run marathons competitively have atrial fibrillation at a several times higher rate than other people.

It's an interesting problem for competitive athletes (say Serena Williams) who might not play as hard since the risk of concussions are worse if you are taking anticoagulants.

I think the page owners tried to argue that the page presented to the viewer was a single creative work / piece of art and that the ad blockers where defacing/misrepresenting that piece of art . As I understand the court basically decided that the final composition of the page lacked an overreaching creative process required to qualify.

I lost both my parents in my late teens early twenties.

My mother died first, she was young, she had successfully fought cancer for 7 years.

I was very calm, people cried around me, my one brothers wife was nearly hysterical at times, I handled funeral arrangements and my dad was just kind of floating absently through everything, distant at times, crying at times.

I gave my mothers eulogy, she was a great person, nearly a thousand people came her funeral. She worked heavily with special needs children and was giving, amazing and genuine.

I had nightmares almost every night for a year.

They were awful.

I was never particularly emotional or weepy around others, I don't think I wept at all during that year of nightmares, I did the things that needed to be done and only wept occasionally afterwards.

People process grief in different ways, I had moments where I reflected similarly to you about my lack of emotion...

The more years went by the more I missed her, situations or events would arise and I would almost physically crave her presence and opinions... her person.

It was all there the whole time, losing her was devastating in spiritual, emotional and practical ways for myself and my family, people just respond differently to these kinds of things, there is no one right way and people who demand a certain types of expression of grief... well I've found they often, strangely, lack empathy.

For some people emotions run very deep but don't obviously surface (even internally.)

You will feel grief as it comes, no need to suppress, drum up or prematurely meta cognate about it. The waves will come to shore and you should let them when they do.
Long-time developers of Postgres have spent a long time developing Postgres -- not necessarily running a deployment of it nor writing and running queries on growing datasets.

It's almost self-evident that this is the case, because if they had, they'd have implemented some more fine-grained way of overriding the query optimizer when it inevitably fails at times.
UP needs to set up a fenced off freight yard in the middle of the desert with armed guards patrolling the perimeter and manning the entrances.

Use Budd cars to bring in the employees. That was done in Toronto when the freight yards were moved from downtown to the boonies.
It's good stuff - but not cheap.

For decking where you're going to have to clean it yearly anyway, I wouldn't bother (no real effort to just add on some maintenance) - and probably works out cheaper even with a few replacements over decades.

Where it shines is where it's a pain to replace and a nice bit of weathering is what you're after (say the eaves on a roof) - not too expensive to run a plank around the perimeter and no ladders/scaffolding/treatment required for the rest of your life.
One of the most interesting automations I saw was a system intended to let the company handle more calls with fewer people by pushing people into not talking to a human.

Except the reason they had so many calls in the first place was largely because every other business process was fucked, which kinda meant you needed a human.
It's a tangent, but it's incredible to me that people used to ship video games and other software on physical media and it worked fine. Now you can drop a big turd on the steam store initially and it's just business as usual. Cynicism aside, I really do admire the dev and QA teams that pulled this off. It's such a different world now.
> Why wouldn't it be able to? With the Proton compatibility layer almost all Windows-only games should run on it. And worst case scenario, one can dual boit Windows if Microsoft decide to be really aggressive vis à vis regulators and block their games from running on Proton.

MS now has a truly huge library, and Valve extracting a portion of every sale on Steam isn't something that's likely to make them happy. They now have so many games that they can use DRM to force users into their own ecosystem (i.e. Windows 11/XBox) to play them.

You could say, correctly, that MS's previous storefronts have not been a great success, but with such a huge catalogue they can just pull the users wherever they want them. There's no incentive for them to allow a competitor to run their games.

Proton is only a solution for as long as MS allows it, and I don't see any incentive for them to do so at this point.

Maybe things move slowly and the Steam Deck itself can still deliver these titles before this happens, but the Valve "ecosystem" as such seems to have really poor prospects.
