Why it's not on iPhones tho? Voice Messages on iPhone is so horrible to use.

Also kinda weird thing - you ask Siri to call someone and phone is not on speakerphone. How Apple keeps missing such basic use cases?
https://github.com/google/gvisor gives you essentially the same benefits as a unikernel without having to compromise on compatibility or recompile your apps, and integrates nicely with Kubernetes already. It also doesn't require a hypervisor at all.

That's not wrong.

Wrt examples I feel like the examples are mostly obvious / uninteresting and thus have little value, but I’ve been in the field a while so that may well be an experience bias.

Alternatively some examples show the neat bits but not clearly because they’re artificial e.g. HashSet::insert demonstrates that it returns a bool via an assert_eq, you have to figure out how cool and useful that is (then gripe that other langages don’t give this info) separately.
2 weeks ago I contacted Amazon because a delivery reached the estimated time and was marked as possibly lost. Because the order was split into 2 deliveries half which arrived and the other half lost, they couldn’t create a new order. So they refunded the missing items and delivery costs. Reordered and arrived in 5 days.

First time in like 10 years I’ve had to contact support and was happy!
One request/suggestion to the author: add wikidata links to the books that have wikidata entries, that way people can cross-reference public domain status for their area, look up the book in other places linked via that (be it wikipedia, gutenberg, etc). I think for people interested in learning more about the books it would be a great way to see more info about them. You could also pull that data into the site directly if you wanted to.

For example: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q768792
If you want to be a good writer, read a lot of books.

You want to be a good python programmer, read other peoples code. Lots of it. Clone some big python projects and try to make changes. Get a feel for what is possible and look for common patterns in implementation.

You will always run into that classic mastery curve where initial success leads you to a false sense of mastery, before crashing hard and starting the actual climb to mastery. Get it over with as soon as you can by getting feedback on your early code, and don't take criticism personally.

>> if you retroactively apply some national idea of "india" that was foreign to people living

That is a colonial view point, surely the Indians traded with the Romans or the Ancient Greeks, they were distinctly seen as Indians/Hindus and I am sure the Indians were aware of it.

>> the mughal empire

As I mentioned, they are part of the Islamic expansionism. The "mughals" famously rallied around islam, extracted tributes and jiziya and also sent tributes to the caliph (in Afganistan/Iran?).

>> very much Europe as well

Until very recently much of the European wealth can be attributed to colonisation, territorial expansionism (Americas) & slavery. The trade at best can be described as mercantilism (checkout salt tax).

I was just pointing out to the previous poster that the wealth of Ancient India/China can be attributed to trade and infrastructure, very much like the world today.

And a lot of it including the royal jewels (subject in question) can be attributed to plunder, piracy or colonisation.

So the idea that all kingdoms made their wealth through plunder is false. Plunder and mindless extraction are very efficient way to expand an empire, but not all empires are built that way and perhaps not very efficient or sustainable today.
The fraud can get pretty sophisticated. I came across a WD external hard drive that visually looked fine. Only when I plugged it in did I notice the size difference, and upon inspecting the SMART tables saw it was a much older Seagate brand drive with bad sectors. Somehow they had managed to swap the drive without making any marks on the case to indicate it had been disassembled. Either that or there's someone selling empty unassembled shells in new condition.

I strongly disagree. There are numerous browsers than can render websites well enough but not a single one that puts the needs of user first before everything else.

I'm only aware of a small subset of laws existing in Europe, but every single example of restrictions to face hiding I can think of predates Muslim presence by many decades. No, those are not driven by fear of people wearing burkas.

Meta-discussion, but I think "statistical deaths" - deaths where the causation has to be inferred, rather than being completely obviously monocausal - have been a big feature of quality of life improvement in the 19th and 20th century, but are now running into an informational problem. Namely that you have to believe the statistics in order for the process to work, but it's increasingly common to lie with statistics.

Is this a moral fatigue problem? People are fed up of hearing that common action X "causes" Y, regardless of how true it is?

Are we going to go back to smoking, leaded petrol, and polio? After all, the evidence against those was only statistical.

(There may also be diminishing returns / age effects; after all, I'm only 40, and just about remember what a smoke-filled room smells like, or the tang of leaded petrol. For the dominant 60-and-up group of voters, the air is cleaner than in their childhood, so what's all this talk of "air quality crisis?")
For the COVID stuff... the worst thing was the communication failures and outright lies all around.

> It was very clear early on masks might help, until health experts chimed in with their poor messaging saying masks don’t work.

The administrations (not just the 45th, we had this shit worldwide) suddenly realized that they had no stockpile of masks and other PPE, and instead of communicating to the people and admitting fault for about three decades of globalization gone bad, they just went ahead and claimed against better knowledge that masks were not needed - at best, some asked the population to leave masks to the hospitals and help themselves with woven-cloth selfmade masks.

> The virus being aerosolized and spreading airborne was also quite clear given how common symptoms tended to be to flu, yet there was hyper focus on hand washing etc instead of cleaning air or ventilation.

I would only classify this as a partial communication failure. All the hygienic measures introduced worldwide drastically brought down the numbers of virtually all infectious diseases, which meant that hospitals now had more capacity to deal with COVID cases. On the other side, while a lot of German public offices (most notably, parliaments) have air filtering systems installed, the rollout of these devices in schools is ... underwhelming (and that's putting it mildly), with courts denying lawsuits asking for their installation with the simple excuse "if ventilating by opening the windows every twenty minutes makes you cold, use better clothes" [1].

Given that ridiculousness, it is definitely legitimate to claim that there is a significant interest of the governments to save money at the expense of parts of the populations that don't have political representation.

Vue 3 is Vues "Python 3" moment, give it a couple of years and it will be mostly forgotten.

This is why consumer protection needs laws, but also laws that are effective.

It isn't just about laws existing:
In this case, it sure ain't legal for Newegg to sell a broken motherboard as working, and then decline the RMA.
However, a user that ain't Steve from Gamer's Nexus will have no legal recourse that is effective.

In the EU, this issue has been tackled explicitly: Within the first six month of a sale, the seller has to prove that the item was damaged by the customer. This burden of proof reversal essentially makes the law effective (in this instance).

So would we get by relying on reputation?
As long as the chance of getting a damaged item isn't overwhelming, people will still buy (see Amazon, which sells a huge amount of fake items without losing customers).
It's easy to see that there's an mixed-strategy equilibrium here, and this equilibrium includes sellers sending out a certain percentage of broken or fake items to maximize profits. Sellers trying to maximize customer satisfaction is likely not the equilibrium.
In other places in this thread we learned that customers are now being tracked as to what they return. Perhaps right now, this is for fraud prevention, sure. But if the data is there, it would be trivial for any good Data Science/ Economics team to maximize profits from sending out some semi-broken or used items here and there.

All in all, we need effective customer protection. A similar argument holds for privacy. However, both the US and the EU have enacted consumer protection or privacy laws that are ineffective.
The article reads like the author uses Big Tech as synonym for only Google and Facebook/Meta.
However is is making some good points about the future of ad driven revenue streams those two companies heavily rely on.

In the end I think it will definitely not be big tech in total. Apple, Netflix, Airbnb and Uber e.g. have other revenue streams
There's a concept called building for throwawayability in the front-end. If you're using Testing Library for tesing front-end components and you're not writing a big app consider whether or not you're using your time wisely. As by the time you finish perfecting your unit tests you might have to throw it all away.
I know how to work with flexbox, grids, etc... I know how to create layouts.

But designing something from scratch that has been designed better by a framework, I don't want to do that. It's not my specialty for a reason.

I know how to customize and implements new features over frameworks like Bootstrap and Bulma. And I use Sass a lot for that purpose. But no, I won't rewrite a navbar component each time I start a new project.
"Fact is we're in the fight now and their intent is crystal clear. They built those devices to put our people, children, homes and ideals under the ground. It's so so dangerous to give them a pass."

Why is their intent so "crystal clear", when they build their bombs after the west build theirs first (and directed at them)?

Have you never considered, that maybe they felt the need to build them - so their homes are protected, too?

I think it is very dangerous, if all sides only see their own sides. This is how wars start.
I don't know. I feel at unease when the info banner reverses all the text ("This Instant Answer was made by the DuckDuckHack Community.").

Because the text looked very odd to me I highlighted the nonsensical text "noitatneserper lausiv" and context-menu searched it on Google. To my surprise it googled for "visual representation", and while retrying because I thought that maybe Google's engine auto-"corrected" the text, I noticed that even the text in the context-menu stated that it would google for "visual representation".

Then seeing that it was "noitatneserper lausiv" in reverse, maybe also in combination from the first hit "U+202E RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE - Unicode Explorer", it felt like the browser had done something it should not do by actually applying the reversion to the info box.

When inspecting the HTML tag of the info box it displays the string "&#x202E U+202E RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE, decimal...", but whenever I try to do something with it, it get's eiter reversed or messed up.

Another bug: When I select the entire text in the info box, I get " U+202E RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE, decimal: 8238, HTML: No visual representation, UTF-8: 0xE2 0x80 0xAE, block: General Punctuation" <-- (btw, this was NOT what I had first entered into the textfield before this edit)

And trying to append a double quote to the text above, it inserts it at the beginning of the line, actually after the E202+U. When I expand the textbox so that the entire paragraph is in one line, E202+U moves to the end.

All this is creepy and I bet that it won't be long until an exploit with this uncontrollable Unicode character will hit the first vulnerable servers and browsers. This feels like Unicode is playing with fire.

> The Right-To-Left Override character can be used to force a right-to-left direction withing a text. This is often abused by hackers to disguise file extensions: when using it in the file name my-text.'U+202E'cod.exe, the file name is actually displayed as my-text.exe.doc - so it seems to be a .doc file while in reality it is an .exe file. There's even an xkcd comic for this character!
Does make you wonder what other optimization can be done. Maybe the whole thing doesn't have to be loaded in immediately.
Yes. I don’t pull out a magnifying glass when I’m looking for my lost keys, but I know instantly what that icon means when it appears on a screen. As for floppies, it seems the new generation typically has no idea what they are, but they quickly identify it as “the save icon.”
The system is a bit odd in Vietnam due to its nominally communist status. You generally talk to a visa agent who goes to the relevant government department to sort it and you are in theory part of a tour group though it's a bit of a loophole. In practice once you have your visa they let you in without problems - I've know people staying on repeating 3 month tourist visas for years.

The Thai's system is different.
This is so cool. If AWS built one for it's service, the table would probably be a lot bigger.

I can't get my head around that.

I make larger dinner portions so there is extra for lunch the next day, and taking out an extra bag of rubbish every so often is no big deal.

In return you get to load the dishwasher during boring "read only" meetings on mute, run a load of washing, do some grocery shopping during lunch break.

Basically all the housework can be done during what would be office dead time.

If you file in small claims court, they might settle. Saying you're going to file doesn't work like that (because people say it all the time and very few people follow though). At most large companies, the script if you threaten legal action is to notate it in their file, refer them to the legal department and stop communication except through legal.

Long story short, don't threaten lawsuits. Just file the suit.

I wrote my own build tool many years ago and rarely extend it with new build tasks. The core tool hasn’t changed much in the 5+ years I have been using it, so why bother with something like gulp?
Quality of air and water is and always has been the real issue that needs to be tackled. The climate is just a symptom of that and sadly allows distractors to derail constructive progress in tacking what is really an air and water quality issue that nobody can deny.

Now if the focus was upon air and water quality and addressing that, all the things that would need to happen just so happen to be those that tackle all environmental aspects of the climate and we would have more people on the same page addressing the issue over endless debate about it.
oh dear time for a edit as I did indeed mean Schrödinger!
> Because the solution can't be "keep chugging along as if nothing were".

I think increasingly that will be the solution. The rational approach to threats is exhausting. People are going to go back to "ignore" and "panic" as the two outcomes, neither of which will be well grounded in actual risk measurement.
Works fine here on a MBP, but in chrome & firefox.

Suggest you avoid safari - it is the new Internet Explorer in terms of feature support (i.e. lagging way behind everything else), so they're probably having to use a non-native polyfill to support something basic that modern browser support but which safari does not.
> Akamai has 6x the edge network footprint of Cloudflare and has all the cool trendy stuff like edge workers, they just suck at selling to the developer.

Akamai sucks at selling to everyone.

Here's a typical Akamai experience:

* An Account Manager (AM) - in a suit - he is going to be the one talking. Not an expert in anything, except maybe Brooks Brothers suits from a few seasons ago.

* Account Manager's Lackey (AML) - he is going to be the one with an iPad. His job is to type in the notes of the meeting, typically using a two finger peck method. This of course takes a very long time. So everyone speaks slowly. Sometimes AM would ask AML something about things that are coming or being rolled out using Akamai internal jargon.

* Account Manager's Attachment (AMA) - does not really talk, looks uncomfortable. Based on the way AMA is dressed it might be a sales engineer

* Every single response to your question would be something that you can either find on the website ( AM, AML and AMA are convinced you cannot read ) which does not actually answer the question or is met with "I will need to loop in the appropriate parties and get you an answer"

* Nearly every request that one would presume can be completed programatically is met with "We need to engage professional services for that." which is billed at some insane amount

That's experience of paying Akamai millions of dollars a year. Needless to say, spending three years untangling Akamai integration was worth it.
I think they actually slightly miss the point. I didn't think the intention was to evade government controls, it was to provide a superior alternative. Some might say there's no difference, but I think it's an important distinction.

Same with "bypassing" the regulated financial system. It's an alternative, and the reason it's unregulated is because it's new and governments haven't pulled their finger out and fucking well regulated it - they were lazily hoping it would blow over, and now that it is big enough to be a threat they're blaming it for existing.

Exemplary politicking.
Organizing a Customer Obsession Engineering Event – Story from Mailchimp
The government controls who it wants to grant these licenses to, so these restrictions mean you need the governments permission to vote, when it's your right to vote.

This is Texas, not Massachusetts or New Jersey. The government does not get any more discretion in granting an LTC in TX than they do in issuing any other form of ID. Meet the requirements and they are legally obligated to give you one.

As an aside, getting an LTC in the shall-issue states is easier than getting a non-driver's license ID. In both cases it's just "meet requirements, show up, do paperwork, wait for them to check your computer records" but the police/sheriff issue it and they don't deal with nearly as many people wanting to file paperwork with them so they haven't optimized those processes for treating people like cattle the way the DMV has so it's a little easier.

>Why would you spin up a full kernel to run a single application

You're misunderstanding the levels of abstraction probably because the word "kernel" within "unikernel" is throwing you off. The idea is to use a partial kernel (only the minimum services one needs). The so-called "kernel" is a library of code where you compile the minimum bits into the single-process image.

>Operating systems already solve this problem relatively well, without the overhead, via processes

A full operating system like Linux is expending extra overhead to schedule/prioritize/monitor processes (plural) -- because Linux is designed to be more general purpose and open-ended than a specialized unikernel. In contrast, a unikernel with only 1 singular process (say a specialized db engine) doesn't need to expend extra cpu on processe(s) scheduling.

All that said, it doesn't seem like unikernels have enough advantages to attract widespread adoption like containers.
