This isn’t a digital signature or anything like that. Instead, it’s increasing the size of pointers to include bounds and permission rights (R/W/X/etc), plus an extra tag stored somewhere else to prevent forgeries or mitigate corruption. So the only thing big corp gets out of this is software more resilient to memory corruption :-)
These labels are confusing, misleading and useless (for people, I suppose they are quite useful for moving product).

1. The % differ from those on the back of the box. This is due to using ‰ RDA on front and actual % on back.

2. They are based on recommended portion size. Which is set by the manufacturer, and often differs between brands of the same food. So you get health brands like WW that can claim to be healthy by simply halving the size of the product (and increasing the price, to help you limit your consumption ;). This reminds me of the Plimsol load line on ships*.

3. They include water content. So a can of cola is only 30‰ sugar? But your body diseperates the water out quickly. What matters is the solid food. So cola should be labeled more like ~95 sugar, to be more accurate on the health effects.

Dietary advice and regulations are garbage. Future generations will look at this and think we where completely backwards. I am sure they will wonder how we ever survived.

* Sam Plimsol campaigned, in the 19th century, for all ships to have a load line painted on the hull, below which no ship could load. This was to prevent greedy owners sending ships out dangerously overloaded. We still use the Plimsol line today. The catch? Only the owner decides where to paint the line.
its also pretty trivial to alias/wrap that tho
ConvertTo-Json is a second example, if you're in that ecosystem.
a solar system should be able to ramp to as much power is instantaneously available instantaneously, thereby decreasing the magnitude of the load step by the amount of solar power available

Inverters don’t like to energize lines though since they normally follow the system waveform. The inverters would have to be connected with a low load set point and frequency regulation eg droop enabled and then they certainly could help with the system response.
Shameless plug, we've built hurl [1] to add some syntactic sugar over curl, with plain text. For example, you can write a text file post.hurl:

POST https://api.ctl.io/v2/authentication/login
{
"username": "YOUR.USERNAME",
"password": "YOUR.PASSWORD"
}

and it will send the same POST request with a json body:

hurl post.hurl

You can add asserts on the response too:

POST https://api.ctl.io/v2/authentication/login
{
"username": "YOUR.USERNAME",
"password": "YOUR.PASSWORD"
}
HTTP/1.0 200
[Asserts]
jsonpath "$.status" == "LOGGED"

Under the hood, we use libcurl and a Rust binding. The HTTP engine is curl because curl is awesome!

Fiat currency is based on trust - so was the gold standard to a degree. Trust is an important part of society. We rip trust away in our societal institutions and we are left in a terrible existence.

If you boil everything down - trust a critical function. Your day is filled with trust of functioning. Without it you would live in pure chaos. I find these arguments facile.

At the same time, the U.S. auto industry was suffering its own trade crisis due to competition from growingly popular foreign cars and trucks. During the early 1960s, sales of Volkswagens surged as America’s love affair with the iconic VW “Bug” coupe and Type 2 van shifted into overdrive. By 1963, the situation got so bad that Walter Reuther, president of the United Automobile Workers Union (U.A.W.), threatened a strike that would have halted all U.S. auto production just before the 1964 presidential election.

Running for reelection and aware of the influence the U.A.W. had in Congress and in the minds of voters, President Johnson looked for a way to persuade Reuther’s union not to strike and to support his “Great Society” civil rights agenda. Johnson succeeded on both counts by agreeing to include light trucks in the Chicken Tax.

While U.S. tariffs on other Chicken Tax items have since been rescinded, lobbying efforts by the U.A.W. have kept the tariff on light trucks and utility vans alive. As a result, American-made trucks still dominate sales in the U.S., and some very desirable trucks, like the high-end Australian-made Volkswagen Amorak, are not sold in the United States.

Instead of downvoting, why not someone justify with a decent counterargument that goes beyond simply "alcohol is unsafe!"? Life comes with risk, many pleasurable activities come with risk. It's possible to balance between enjoying oneself and moderating one's behavior without sinking into a morass of absolutist, puritanical and medically ambiguous health "optimization".

Violent acts specifically targeted against civilians to gain political power.

I think it's rather than the person you're replying to assumed their audience was acting in good faith. I believe that you are an intelligent person and likely already aware that in the common definition of terrorism, acts have to be specifically targeted towards civilians.

At my company, we've considered switching to MinIO from S3 because it would allow us to host data on prem and potentially have higher upload speeds than S3 (although we haven't tested that). To your original point though, unless you have a compelling reason to not want to upload your data to servers you don't control, I agree that your best bet is just to use a cloud storage solution.

And of course it's even more fun because I have to mentally substitute "cookie" every time I read "biscuit".

You can disable the ligatures in your editor or use Jetbrains Mono NL which is the no-ligature version.

Pinephone give a month warranty, that's it. Its a dealbreaker for any consumer. Pinephone Pro can get you through the day, but it goes for 400 plus duties, and it also only has a month warranty. Kickstarter, Indiegogo can get away scamming or false advertising.

"Tree nuts are inflammatory"
Really? That sounded surprising to me so I did some quick searching - the only pages I could find denigrating tree nuts seemed to be selling their own healt products. Everything else I found (especially from government or academic sites) seemed to universally categorize tree nuts as being anti-inflammatory.

What a contradiction?

If you think "→" misrepresents the meaning of "->", then certainly "->" also misrepresents the meaning of a semantic arrow "→". The set of symbols in 7-bit ASCII is somewhat arbitrary after all.

Let's say "→" misrepresents the meaning of "->" even as much as 0.1% of the time. Would you rather your risk of error be 99.9%, or 0.1%?

I'm sick of anti-ligature people telling everyone else not to enjoy their fonts, on every single post about a font. Ligatures have caught on for a reason.
I know this is a smaller and uncommon use case but in a previous job I used minio so that we could have a single storage implementation for an application that was most commonly deployed to offline scenarios but when deployed to online scenarios it could seamlessly use S3 by just updating the environment values.
Proprietary manufacturer software is so bad. It's hard to describe how aggravating it is. At least Razer is popular enough so people have already reverse engineered the drivers and implemented open source versions. I had to do it myself on my laptop and it was certainly an interesting experience. I learned that the manufacturer's driver was intercepting every single keystroke just to send a "light up this key's LEDs" command to the keyboard every single time. Why couldn't they do it on the hardware? It boggles my mind to this day.
Platforms Starter Kit: a template for site builders and low-code tools
Oh, well, maybe :) My point was that in Windows <= 7 you needed to install a custom driver to allow WebUSB to work with your specific device. From Windows 8 and up, you can use WebUSB to talk to your device without installing anything at all, which makes it a lot easier for the end users!
NPR's Marketplace had a fascinating story about something similar in the apparel business. They design pockets in various types of clothing to reduce tariffs.

https://www.marketplace.org/2019/05/29/theres-a-reason-your-...

Example from the article:

Certain women’s garments with “pockets below the waist” get lower duty rates than those without. Because of that, a number of the women’s shirts Columbia Sportswear makes are intentionally designed with tiny pockets near the waistline, which lowers the cost of importing them. One of the company’s shorthands for “pockets below the waist” is “nurse’s pocket.”

For your development laptop you can install anything you want but more often than not you need to log into a EC2 instance, a Docker container you name it.

Probably everything that uses __thread requires this. e.g. malloc(), or some functions that return pointers to static buffers, and implementators wanted to make them multi-thread safe.

/*
The interface of this function is completely stupid,
it requires a static buffer. We relax this a bit in
that we allow one buffer for each thread.
*/
static __thread char buffer[18];

char * inet_ntoa (struct in_addr in)
{
unsigned char *bytes = (unsigned char *) &in;
__snprintf (buffer, sizeof (buffer), "%d.%d.%d.%d",
bytes[0], bytes[1], bytes[2], bytes[3]);
return buffer;
}
For some scenarios, functional programming is a good match. For example, Big Data. FP has features such as lazy evaluation, which is important for Spark, for example. Not surprisingly many Big Data libs, including Spark, are written in FP languages (Spark was written in Scala).

For JavaScript FP is not a good match [1]. Certainly, many ideas that originated in FP work well in JavaScript, for example lambdas. But some people take FP to an extreme, to the point of saying that OOP is now obsolete. How can OOP only now become obsolete, given that FP has existed long before OOP? That doesn't make sense.

Preferred, but you often need more nuance than that — for example, if a carbon tax is set high enough to deter profitable heavy industrial activities it would require care not to have a disproportionate impact on people who depend on cars, non-electric heating, etc. Those can be mitigated, of course, but it starts to make the tax policy a lot more complicated.

The other problem is that we probably had time for a carbon tax when the idea was first advanced decades ago. It's not clear to me that we can afford a gradual approach now when we really need to be doing things like saying you just can't buy new coal burning equipment at any price, for example.
The exact opposite is more likely true, depending on the nature of the change. A new utility has no current usage so there are no in-the-wild backwards compatibility concerns. The system python on redhat based distros was stuck at 2 for a long time because some of the sysadmin utilities relied on it and all those deps needs to be vetted or converted to either a newer python version or their own shipped version of the runtime that didn't use the general purpose python install.

Windows 11 has made a lot of questionable choices that are leading to a lot of people staying on Windows 10 voluntarily.

Windows 11 has additionally made a lot of questionable choices that are forcing a lot of people to stay on Windows 10 involuntarily (e.g. they don't support motherboards w/out TPM's and they don't officially support CPUs that aren't relatively new; e.g. it only "supports" Intel CPUs that are 8th gen or newer regardless of cores/frequency)
And medically those are unsafe. The crucial part, though, is that that's not at all to say you shouldn't do them. You are simply using a different understanding of the word safe than they are. This is a medical brief aimed at experts who should have no trouble understanding what claims are and are not being made.

This is not a lifestyle or dietary recommendation. This is not a cost benefit analysis. This is a medical brief that states that no amount of consumption is safe. The takeaway categorically should not be that we should all reduce our intake to zero, which seems to be how folks are interpreting this.

For what it's worth, I say all this as a regular drinker who has no intention of ceasing drinking.
This is an interesting study, and I'm not 100% sure it supports their conclusion. For example on Figure 1 the hazard ratio for all cause morality isn't much higher than 1 until you get into the 200g+ groups, and the hazard ratio for cardiovascular disease is less than 1 until you get over 200g. This would seem to support studies that find a benefit for moderate drinking on heart health. Most of this benefit seems to come from lowering the incidence of MI based on Figure 2.

This also seems to support my initial hypothesis from reading your comment which is I wonder how much of the difference in all cause mortality is due to the effects of binge drinking or drunk driving. The fact that the hazard ratio on all cause mortality isn't really above one until you get over 200g would seem to support the idea that that is where most of the increased mortality comes from.
It’s nice to hear about the positive side of internet and all these stories people share here. Usually it’s much more about the negative aspects like one of my own personal posts I wrote from the middle of lockdowns about a year ago, touching upon the distractions of the internet and how it’s been slowly re-wiring my brain: https://www.lostbookofsales.com/age-of-distractions/

Since I moved to a smaller town here in northern Finland from the heart of Germany, thanks to the internet I feel no less connected to communities, teachers (MIT, Harvard, etc. as I’m doing my masters degree) and friends than before.

You have to balance the negative and positive sides and control yourself. I think it’s a huge net positive though as becomes obvious from this thread.

State constitutions should be updated to force all revenue and assets derived from fines to be distributed equally to all residents. That would distribute the benefits widely enough to remove the current incentives where fines line the pockets of local police and fund town operating budgets.
Not if the police prevent enough (of certain) people from voting. They could simply give all the residents of certain areas the impression that they will be arrested (or blacklisted/long-term intimidation) if they show up to vote.

Also, in Alabama if you're convicted of one of the following felonies you're not allowed to vote:

"Murder, rape, sodomy, sexual abuse, sexual torture, enticing a child to enter a vehicle for immoral purposes, soliciting a child by computer, production or possession of obscene matter, parents or guardians permitting children to engage in obscene matter, possesion of child pornography with intent to distribute."
Yes, that's pretty much the plan in many states: take control of elections away from locals (especially locals who tend to vote for the other party) and give the power to the (gerrymandered) state legislature. People don't want to pay taxes, and if the anti-tax people also want local services, they have the police raise the revenue by preying on out-of-towners and people without connections.

But even without election-fixing, this kind of thing persists in some towns because the cops focus their enforcement on out-of-towners. Locals get a free lunch: services they don't have to pay for.

I don't think it's worse because:
1) Wasm was designed to be easily decompilable / convertible to a text assembly representation by design, whereas for other platforms it requires fairly sophisticated disassemblers
2) Wasm can interact with the outside world (any I/O) only via explicitly defined import points, which are easy to intercept and/or replicate even if you don't know what's inside the binary itself.

I think there's just a lot more of the Internet these days. Much more garbage, but much more high-quality content too. And the same engagement algorithms that can drive you down into rabbit holes can also lead you to deep wells of high-quality educational content on whatever topic you choose.

Today's Internet is whatever you want make of it. And to me at least, that's what makes it so exciting.
The value is per thread, so if you're caching it to main memory (including in the stack) then you need one copy per thread and you need to somehow know which one to use based on what thread is running. You'd need to store that index somewhere so there'd be an infinite recursion. Even if it's stored at the base of the current stack you don't want to have to walk all the stack frames to find it.

You can store it in a GPR instead (that's what some modern architectures do) but then it needs to be part of the ABI. Otherwise at the beginning of a function you can't assume any register contains the correct value.

Not really sure I want to know any more about that subculture than I already do, though.
