If merely being a software engineer who handled traffic for a crappy tube site, where most videos are uploaded by consenting freaky couples, gets you blacklisted from working in companies, while people who handle privacy destruction at Google and Facebook get cushy jobs - yeah, it is bad. It's not a software engineer's fault that some frat boy uploaded revenge porn and porn does not have to be bad. Plenty of feminists are also pro-porn, just when it's done in the right way and doesn't involve manipulation or coercion.
I know it was a bit of a snarky throwaway comment, but I would be interested to see how Australia succeeded given its penal colony history (I admittedly know nothing).
Because if someone gives a free magazine, I don't have to stare at the ads either. If they (Youtube) don't want people to block ads, they can stop serving ads and charge for the service. People will move to another free services and continue blocking ads. No company have the right to serve me content I don't want to consume. If not my responsibility as a consumer to justify/support a company's business model
Funny, I've had the opposite thought. If registers are a certain width, and all memory access is aligned anyway, why do we need pointers that can address arbitrary bytes? Heck, why are bytes even a thing in a 64-bit machine?
I guess 'arbitrage' has existed for generations, but was never this easy or ubiqitious for even the most regular internet user...

If anything, as a consumer, its created a considerable distrust in small retailers. I've started reverse image searching every online store to see if the same thing is available on AliExpress. The number of items represented fraudulently as 'made local' is staggering...

At the same time, the factories manufacturing these products all stick to pretty common prefabrication templates and techniques, so the same designs are becomign quite ubiquitous — which I suppose if you are a discerning customer – means you can really differentiate by finding things which truly are not mass commodities.

And I guess that's the advantage — these have to be mass produced goods or else the economics of drop-shipping would not be sustainable. But, considering how many goods are mass produced these days, both luxury and necessity, its hard to pick any product type and expect it to be locally made.

I don't think its immoral, but I'd avoid any retailer selling drop-shipped goods.

In such a case it is a good idea to add a .nojekyll file to keep Jekyll from still trying to build your site when you prebuild it.

Also, if you are locally generating the HTML files, you can use other SSG tools beyond Jekyll (if for instance you want to avoid Ruby on Windows).
We had a truly P2P internet, it was fine. We did get nuked at the start, but then we started using firewalls and all was good.

Thank you, jknoepfler, this is essentially what I was thinking. The Economist is quite supportive of institutions and their value, in a way that American Libertarians are not. While both groups have important and useful things to say, and they sometimes share or advocate for the same positions, it is important to understand their differences too.
No. This is one of those cases where we find out a war has already started and we didn't notice because the weapons are too new.

Nice try though.

They don't currently, but they (or whoever else gets their hands on their data, whether through breaking in or government interference) might start caring at a later date.

On macOS you can easily tile pairs of apps on a single virtual screen and switch between virtual screens with a gesture. But you always know you're on a particular screen; it's all or nothing.

Arbitrary scroll left and right with arbitrary window widths is going to be tiresome, and good luck keeping up with what the window manager in that demo is doing when you're tired.

Scrolling automatically to the window that has focus? Narp. Applications that are half off the screen? Why? It's just extra cognitive load.

It's not good.
The main value adds to me other than blocking ads is sponsorblock and a black theme (as opposed to dark grey).

It is interesting to look at ancient history and realize that "your word is your bond" was a real thing. Even "bad" people would, usually, not be willing to break oaths that they had made. It is shocking, in today's world, to imagine people actually taking a promise or oath that seriously. If a politician breaks their word, we don't think anything of it since it is so commonplace. I can't even imagine a society where once someone had given their word about something you would completely trust them on that issue since breaking your word would be unthinkable. Can you imagine drawing a box on the ground and having a person give their word that they will not leave it and then they would literally die before leaving the box? I can't even imagine living in that sort of society. I mistrust every single person I meet on a daily basis. I simply can't fathom having trust in anyone's word.
"yourbrainonporn.com" is about as reliable as quoting D.A.R.E. for information on drugs. In other words, it holds literally no weight and is likely religion-driven "family values" propaganda.

I said "It feels heavy on negative externalities" in my original comment which is not a strong stance by any means, and have not said that Premium solves the creator payment model anywhere, only that it gives you the ad-free experience that Vanced gives you, while still continuing to pay content creators for viewing their content. Those are two separate discussions.
We use very thin Chifonet wipes for wiping and Sini brushes with nylon whiskers for hand dishwashing. Everything dries completely very quickly. Sponges are unhygienic, as they stay wet and it's hard to clean them, so why use them as there are better alternatives?
This administration has a majority in both houses and rather than doing anything with it, is tying their hands behind their back in defense of some absurd concept of "norms" which the other side has made abundantly clear they stopped believing in ages ago. Believe what you want but "the big meanie republicans are screwing everything up" stopped carrying any water for a lot of us some time ago.
Exceptions are the only way. You can workaround this by using static factory methods.

The herbceptions proposal for “deterministic” exceptions addressed this issue well IMO.
We already have 128-bit processors, of sorts. They are called "vector units". ;)

128-bit integers could be useful for bignums. You can do bignum addition on existing SIMD units but you'd have to use tricks to carry the carry between elements and to the next vector — and that makes the resulting code slower than using GPRs.[1]
But I think this would still fit better in vector units than making the integer registers larger: The hw trend (ARM SVE, RISC-V V) is to make vector-width implementation-defined, starting at 128 bits in the low-end.

128-bit floating point is apparently a thing in scientific computing (but I've not seen it myself).

128-bit "pointers" exist in CHERI [2], where they are tagged capabilities that also store the bounds and access rights (rwx) for accessing memory through the pointer.
Addresses are still 64-bit though. GPRs are still 64-bit. The caps are stored in a new register file.

If you want to scale up address spaces, I think the biggest issue is not the number of bits but rather how to coordinate the address space to avoid collisions. One approach would be to re-introduce segmentation (pointer ⇒ segment ID and offset within segment), but unlike earlier system make each segment have its own local namespace of segment IDs it knows and translate between those when transferring pointers between segments.
This idea is used by e.g. the research OS "Twizzer" [3], which was made for a large address space using NVRAM as RAM.
I think this "pointer swizzling" could also be helped by hardware support.

Unexpected behaviour is exactly the problem -- I can see a lot of potential for it in the demo in the video, which is hard to follow.

Not to mention the serious problem with scrolling-within-scrolling. One of those windows could be a browser window, sized too thin so its content scrolls horizontally as well as vertically, and some of the content inside that browser window might scroll vertically or horizontally or both -- perhaps a textarea. Can the UI ever make it clear enough what scroll action is going to be triggered, or will there be a situation where you want to scroll one aspect but end up scrolling the whole desktop?

It's better to keep scrolling _out_ of a design, and it's surely better to switch context whole apps at a time, and not have them half-off the screen (which is the exact sort of occlusion irritation that tiling window managers are meant to avoid, surely?)
The decision to sell frequencies as close as 220 MHz away from lower end of radar altimeter band came only in 2019, and aviation world already been working on possible interference at the time - which led to much higher guard bands everywhere else and/or extra requirements on use of 3.8-4.0GHz allocations, especially in terms of usage near airports.

The issue is that the FCC sale of frequency spectrum up to 3.98GHz doesn't have such limitations, so essentially in 2019 aviation got an unique problem of extra heavy interference in USA

They did know. Both the FAA and the FCC knew.
Not trying to be rude, but it's because it's intro Physics (F=m*a, with F coming from fuel, battery, or brakes), with an understanding that the process that generated that force has an efficiency that's less than 100%, mixed with a dash of intro Calculus (integral of force).

It got noticeably more hostile in March 2020, when COVID diverted lots of new social interaction from in-person to online. This was the Eternal September moment for me personally.

But there are dozens of conservative public interest law non-profits, too, many with tens of millions of dollars in funding. We pay attention to FedSoc not because of its advocacy, but because it's a pipeline for conservative judges, like the ACS is for liberal judges. You've narrowed one side of the field but kept the other broad to set up a bogus comparison.

Again: I think the hyperventilation over FedSoc is silly, and FedSoc is doing a thing that "should" be done (I'm not a conservative).
Maybe this is a bit of a ridiculous idea, but what about natively supporting tabs in a window manager? While it would probably be impractical to force all applications to support tabs, it would be nice to be able to rearrange elements/windows of work/productivity apps as such.
The difference is that you can easily edit the UUID of a btrfs filesystem with `btrfstune -U` immediately after making the copy so the filesystems are unique again. You need to do this anyway if you have mount rules based on the UUID, regardless of the filesystem type, or you run the risk of mounting the wrong device. It is also possible to tell btrfs which devices make up a particular filesystem with the device= mount option, which ought to bypass the default grouping based on the UUID.
> Can someone give me their reasoning for why to use this over just paying for YouTube premium?

YT Premium only makes the problem worse by still allowing native ads and requiring you to log in using an account that is tied to your real world identity (for payment processing).

You just end up giving more data points to Google to track and don't get rid of all ads.
This is fantastic, well done! I love the simplicity of the kit.

I'm extremely surprised to hear that soldering the XT90s was hard. Even a $20 Pinecil (well, maybe I shouldn't say "even", it's a fantastic iron) can handle those no problem.

Also, what cost 1200 EUR? That motor costs 30 EUR, an ESC another 40, and the batteries maybe 80 EUR for Li-Ions (less weight). Were the CNCed plates that expensive?

This is great.

I used to try to find radio stream aggregators like this online, I enjoyed hearing what is popular in all kinds of places, but usually the novelty wore off when the selection was limited. This one appears to have a massive catalog of streams.
But if the cultural standard is that no one personally sacrifices anything in order to try to render better moral/ethical outcomes, how will people that become business owners and CEOs learn that they're supposed to be better?

And from their perspectives, why should they have to sacrifice additional wealth in order to make some more ethical decision? If they don't make some morally questionable decision, they may worry that a competitor will. No business leader wants to crash their own company; they like the feeling of importance they get. And sometimes they feel like their position makes them feel more important in society at large, too, not just at their own company.

Why should they have to make self-sacrificing choices and give all that up, when doing so would make them... like everyone else.
> preference projection of someone who prefers subscription content than the majority of actual ad-subsidized content consumers

No - I'm referring to clickbait, chumboxes or low-quality articles whose primary purpose is to show ads - the content itself is only there to lure you into seeing ads and is universally hated even by freemium customers.

I suspect that there's a huge amount of content like this which subsidizes the platforms, ad networks and various middlemen.
Sued? Few. But people/jerks who disagree with what you say sometimes send complaints to bar associations.
This might not be a popular opinion for some, but can't we move as a society beyond the point where having a naked picture online would not be upsetting or harmful for the person involved? I can't help but think that if we were all to put a couple of nudes online, the whole "Oh! Shame!" moral outrage would be pretty much over.

On the one hand, there's a person's privacy and individual rights, but on the other hand is also society's response which makes a bigger deal out of erotic and sexual material than it perhaps needs to be. It might be worthwhile to also fight this from the other side and try to re-educate society not to point the finger at people for having sex or appearing in nude imagery. After all, the concern seems mostly about the consequences to the lives of the people involved rather nudity itself, so why not also try to turn the whole concept into something more positive on a societal level and fight the victimisation and shame that way?

> Of course, some kinds of system designs burn physical memory addresses
faster than you'd expect. In particular, suppose you build a system
with multiple memory systems. A minimal/natural approach is to use the
high-order bits of an address to select the memory to be accessed.

We're already starting to see this regarding some of the up-and-coming technologies like CXL and Gen-Z (which have now been merged). The idea is for a fabric consisting of multiple machines to share a common address space, and with the transition from 48-bit virtual addresses to 56-bit virtual addresses happening soon-ish, there's not many bits in the address space left to leave a machine identifier in your 56-bit address.
I wonder how much of Reddit is just controlled accounts and bots talking to each other. Most of Reddit now just feels like curated political content.

That democracy was dead before it started. A democracy cannot survive without broad agreement in the value of the individual. That is a failure mode of democracy that can be brought about via poor civics education. This is why universal public education is so critical to a functioning democracy.
