This is like the famous Dropbox comment

"For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem"
The NDP (left wing) party ended up supporting the emergencies act in parliament a few days after it was put in place by the Liberals. That provided them with a majority support to get 185-151 so about 55%.

The only party against it was Conservatives and I believe Bloc Quebcios.
Yes, it is a part of Donetsk region. It's a city of around 0.5 mil citizens. And a very strategic location. They wanted to capture it in 2014, but failed.
Pro. It perfs incredibly well in a bunch of areas it was expected to.

Con. It can't even run code from a whole segment of apps because of archi it's built on.

Result - Perf was nothing out of line with expected results from what you'd expect the market to come up with for the next range of products.

It's really nothing special from the user end of things.
"Quit the news" is not the answer.

Quit the 24-hour news cycle? Sure. Quit doomscrolling on Facebook or Twitter? Yeah, most definitely quite good for you.

But, "quit the news" as in "remain uninformed"? No way! The invention of the press enabled modern democracy, and no matter what you think of that, all the alternatives so far have pretty decisively turned out to be worse.

So, here's my take: consume the news, but in moderation. And, like consuming alcohol in moderation (which I also wholeheartedly condone), I can't tell you exactly how to do it, just that I've seen it done successfully.

For me, it's a (dead-tree) subscription to The Economist. World events, long-form analysis, some light fare, all with a mild(ish) libertarian touch, delivered to my doormat every week.

A time-saver it is not: a single copy of the (weekly) newspaper takes at least eight hours to digest, often longer. But I don't feel compelled to hit 'refresh' (the newspaper is what it is for the next week), and there is no way to embarrass myself by hitting 'reply': a Letter To The Editor takes some careful consideration, which is great.
The Xbox app is a masterclass in how not to design a user interface, it is clunky, the menus don't go anywhere, they mixed terminology (some places have "Add friend" others have "Follow friend"), users with multiple screens will find their game launching on the non-principal one, language is tied to the OS so if you want your games in English but your Windows is in French you have to change the OS-level language.

I don't work at Microsoft, but if I had to guess there are several teams working on individual components and they lack a clear leader that enforce a global vision so it falls apart at integration time.
It's been over half a decade since that stopped mattering, for me.

I've bought goods and services directly with Monero plenty of times. I've paid invoices that the merchant put in Bitcoin, while using a third party to pay in Monero, which the third party then paid in Bitcoin.

Now in the 2020s I can swap Monero directly to SECRET network, a Tindermint/Cosmos blockchain where all smart contract executions are private (such as the amount and quantity of your erc20-style wrapped Monero), allowing further bridging over to the EVM ecosystem for all the liquid DeFi trading activities, and Tornado cash if desired.

and the times when I use KYC to convert it to fiat, I haven't cared either. I like that the OTC desk or exchange doesn't even receive the address I sent from, much more similar to wiring from another bank account, where the receiving bank can't look at all your prior records and balances at the source of money and just has to assume the other place is compliant. it should be obvious that someone with an illicit source of their Monero will need to reintegrate their value into the broader economy first, so that they can account for it properly. with access to the entire DeFi ecosystem now, that is extremely easy.

all crypto users should restore that level of privacy.
actually they are generally below replacement level, which (if not augmented by immigration) would itself lead to a collapse as people leave the workforce and there are fewer laborers to replace them.

Which is extra good as this offsets other parts of the world. I would also guess that it is probably easier to provide incentives for people to have more children once this becomes necessary than trying to prevent them from having too many children, but that is not much more than a gut feeling.

But people think we manage this labor shortage with technology, which leads us back to the requirements for more energy and capital development to maintain the same lifestyle.

If we permanently fall below replacement-level fertility, we will just die out and no amount of investment will fix this. The only solution is to match replacement-level fertility which will provide a stable population and workforce and hence require a stable amount of economic activity to achieve a stable lifestyle. The obvious caveat is of course that the economic activity must not deplete any non-renewable resources.

why do 'highly developed' countries need vastly greater resources to maintain this living standard if its a one-time expense? the greater standard of living your referring to requires continually expanding quantities of inputs in terms of energy and labor, aka 'economic growth'.

The one-time expense is to lift someone from say 2,000 kWh/a to 40,000 kWh/a which requires adding the difference in production capacity. After that this person will of course consume 40,000 kWh every year and we will have to produce those 40,000 kWh every year, but I don't think that constitutes economic growth. Economic output is quantified as absolute output over some period of time, not as cumulative absolute output.

For example, electric cars require batteries which require raw materials to be mined, recycling batteries requires chemical industry that is predicated on all sorts of inputs, themselves coming from nonrenewable sources.

I still don't see how this requires continued growth if we assume constant output.
Since AFAIU it's a video stream without any DOM, is there any accessibility affordance?
> By people who do not want to believe that errors are part of a system's API…

The point was that you should be returning errors, not throwing them. Runtime exceptions (null reference, division by zero, out of memory, etc.) ought to indicate a fatal error in the (sub)program or runtime environment. You can trap these, and report them, but it's usually a mistake to try to case-match on them. Unlike errors, which are predictable, enumerable elements of the design, runtime exceptions should be treated as an open set.
I quit the news in 2016, and have never been happier. First the national news, then local news.

I still scan the headlines from various sources and selectively choose how/when/why I choose to dig deeper into anything. And no, I'm not using any crackpot sources or echo chambers. I prefer more "raw" news reporting; before any spin or sensationalism gets inflicted upon it.
Not that I trust the ADL, but it seems completely reasonable that there is an overlap.
Perhaps not even memory access, but more like the neuron activation thresholds change when oxygen, ions, etc quit flowing to them, causing random firing.
Canada is not America. We trade some freedoms for a healthier, more robust system. I find the American reactions to our system confusing, honestly. Our democracy is not in danger, nor are the majority of Canadians concerned about this.

The greatest concerns seem to be from Americans and this is particularly bad on Reddit, where the Canadian subreddit has been captured by right-leaning Americans mainly.
Frontiers is a predatory open access publisher, and your first assumption should always be that anything in a Frontiers journal is pay-for-play bollocks.
> no nation state on the planet can easily get enough sha256 ASIC miners to attack bitcoin

What if you set up several sock puppet mining pools, all supposedly independent and in competition with each other, and beat the existing pools on fees by enough that miners join you en masse? That would take some investment on your end as you would have to run pool infrastructure at a loss. But if you are a nation state, it's not a huge investment. You don't need to have any mining hardware of your own if you offer miners better returns for the use of their hardware than the other pools do.

Once your pools, taken together, have a dominant share of miners, I would think you could run a 51% attack without ever acquiring a single ASIC. The reputation of your pools will not survive but I think you could complete a 1 hour attack (reversing 6-conf transactions) before you lose the miners.

Would this work?
nice, about time. I wonder if e.g. Quake Champions would've flopped as hard as it did if it was just released on Steam at launch instead of moved there later. I had a ton of fun with it despite its controversial formula changes, and the soundtracks (there's two, you can pick one or both, the second one is by Andrew Hulshult) are really good.
In my experience, both are true. I'm more on the ML side, and I can tell I don't have the kind of routine and habits that good software engineers have, though I'm learning. But on the other hand, and I've seen this from software engineers who've made the transition to ML, and clearly have a good handle on the concepts (in one case even published papers in ML journals), they don't seem to have the intuition that allows them to select the right tool for the job, or understand when a given technique is appropriate; you could call that "modeling maturity" - a combination of mathematical maturity and the skill of relating domain knowledge to modeling choices.
It'll be yet another way to funnel money into the Trump organization. Ever wonder why politicians buy their own books?

We're talking about people lying on hospital bed tied to EEG. There are usually going to be people saving that person.
>Have you tried ear plugs?

tried, waxes out my ears and more so - don't work against low frequencies due to wavelength and being hyper sensitive, I kinda feel it a bit more than most.

As another commentator mentioned - Deep Sleep and more so a build up of disturbances of that, stack the issue. Things like stress build up then as well, so all a vicious spiral sometimes as stress don't help at all.

But it's getting better and working on a move to some place more suitable as well as making best of what I can and identify, dampen/block best I can.
Most smaller conference and journals doesn’t require an advisor. Just write your paper and submit it? Not sure what your issue is ?
>Did you notice how "freedom" became a swear word over the last 5-6 years?

Because it's about "freedom" and not freedom.
Remember when the US called french fries freedom fries because France wasn't part of the coalition of the willing?
That's the same freedom.

Freedom also means responsibility, but some just want to do what ever they want and as soon as somebody demands from them to take responsibility they cry freedom.

People were drafted in wars and got killed and these guys whine about some pokes.
I want my freedom too but these guys showed me that that will never happen. I underestimated the number of stupid people.
and until a couple months ago, it was a crappy web app.
I definitely get a sinking feeling when I leave on vacation and come back to a two-issue backlog! There's more content in there than I typically consume in a week, so I've gotten more discerning on which articles I read. Skipping editorials, Britain, letters, and most columns seems to get it down to a manageable amount for my reading patterns. I also tend to skip any political coverage that's about what might happen in an upcoming election somewhere. I figure when it actually does happen I can read about it then.
While I think that TimescaleDB is a great technology, the support experience of their Timescale Cloud offering was quite underwhelming.

In one occurrence we wanted to create a VPC peering between the a database hosted on Timescale Cloud and our Kubernetes cluster hosted on Azure. For this you need to put the Azure resource group name in a form on Timescale cloud.

Turns out our resource group name contained an uppercase character and the form on Timescale Cloud has a (broken) validation that required the name to be all lowercase. We couldn't easily change that name since that would have required us to re-create our production AKS/K8S cluster.

After contacting Timescale support (as a paying customer) the answer was basically: "Well, we require the resource group name to be lowercase, we can't change that, sucks to be you, bye"

We can live without that VPC peering, so we didn't push that further, but there are zero technical reasons for that restrictions and I would bet that its just a broken validation regex in their backend that they are unwilling to fix.
Biden was pushing and pushing and gave no assurance to Putin and we're here now. I'm not sure who pulls Biden's strings, but it could just be his old self when we was Obama's vice president and actually started the Euromaidan. As an US taxpayer, I'm ashamed my taxes go to support stirring of conflicts abroad with known outcomes! Just like the bombing of the sovereign Syria and the desire to separate it into two. Suddenly, what Russia is doing (and we've attempted and have done successfully in the past ourselves) is bad! Until we act the the world's bully, nobody will truly respect us, and world peace would just be a pipe dream!
> Crimea is gone and it's not coming back

True or not, that's irrelevant.

What is relevant is that the action now in Donetsk and Luhansk demonstrates that the approach of tacit acceptance taken in response to the occupation of Crimea is not (contrary to what one might assume if only looking at Abkhasia and South Ossetia as indicators) sufficient to forestall further Russian territorial aggression.
You're kidding! The last two episodes are among the best.

Molly's soliloquy is one of the most beautiful things ever written in English - it's what people who haven't read Joyce think of when they think of Joyce ("and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes"!) and it's famous for a reason, And I love the Ithaca episode, how the catechism format lets it interrogate the reader's understanding of the book while elucidating it (preparing you to go back through and read it again!), and how the sleepy late night atmosphere of it slowly descends into dreams. As it ends I find myself starting to hold my breath ("Womb? Weary? He rests. He has travelled." ... all the way up to that pregnant question - "Where?") and then Penelope is one long, gorgeous exhale. What a book. You're going to make me read it again.

Having also taken a class on it, the only really, truly unreadable chapter is Oxen of the Sun. Screw Oxen of the Sun.
> There are times when writing/profiling Rust when I wish I had access to exceptions instead of `Result` propagation.

This introduces a whole bunch of design issues, but isn't `panic` (in unwinding mode) basically C++'s exceptions, implementation-wise? Couldn't we use `panic` + `catch_unwind` as a poor man's exception system, should the performance situation really require so?

Also, could we maybe add an attribute `#[exceptional]` to enum variants in a match, that would result in a match implementation closer to exceptions, implementation wise?
This is great! May I suggest some small improvements for scannability?

ul {line-height:1.3;}
ul li {padding-left:1ch;text-indent:-1ch}
ul li + li {margin-top:.2em;}
a:hover, a:focus {text-decoration:revert;}

Also, using <ol> lists instead of <ul> could help too.
At least some of the protestors have profited from their protests ie. we know that money has been flowing in courtesy of sites like GoFundMe.

So there is a case that some of those protestors should have profits seized if they committed a crime (not claiming they did). The question is whether ordinary protestors will have the same process applied to them.
True, but the naming does matter. Calling Thing::default() clearly communicates that your just getting baseline values and not a lot of magical other initialization stuff going on— with a Thing::Thing() in C++, you're really at the mercy of whatever the project conventions are for how "fat" the constructor is going to be.

I think the naming is also important for cases where there are potentially multiple reasonable defaults, even something as basic as the difference between Vector3::Vector3() and Vector3::zero().
Fair, but I'd wager that's the average case for small blogs and personal sites... That most administrators of such sites don't read their access logs until there's a problem.

At least, every small blog and personal site that hasn't just given their content to one of the FAANGs already to do those jobs for them (which will, of course, "solve" these problems by throwing a cookie-consent banner and hooking the content up to their view-tracker of choice).
Login.gov absolutely cares about your identity. Case in point: login.gov will share your SSN to the provider(irs.gov in this case), if appropriate permissions are requested.
NoIP/DDNS/etc still means a dynamic IP address, with possibly broken reverse DNS, from a dynamic DNS pool.

To send email you need a static IP with correct reverse DNS, or other people's servers will reject your mail (best case) or silently mark it as spam. Welcome to the real world of email deliverability, the worst part of running your own mail server.
how do you know the threads need to communicate with each other?
> or the rising Opioid epidemic

For me it was the dead family members before it was reported. Victims have victim shit to do. They aren't watching the news for updates.
Title is somehow misleading. This is not about uncovering Monero users in the wild and exposing them which are criminals, as I first believed when reading the title. This is about detecting unwanted Monero miner on your system. But if you're already pwned that an unwanted process is already running on your system, a Monero miner is the least of your worries.
> Then why wasn't a treason charge leveled?

Because it didn’t rise to the level of treason?

For the entire rest of your comment I can’t respond until you let me know what was the appropriate response for the government here. So far you’ve implied they should have done nothing, and explicitly threw treason out as another possibility. Is there any step the government could have taken that was appropriate in your view other than do nothing, charge treason, or capitulate entirely to the protestors?
I'm puzzled by that reaction. In my head at least, the distinction is pretty deep, and describing The Economist as "libertarian" in any sense would be clearly misplaced, other than to say it sometimes supports positions libertarians also agree with.

Historically, when The Economist was founded, libertarianism would have been associated with French anarchism. The core, consistent theme of libertarianism is that individual rights trump arbitrary interference by a collective. The various forms of anarchism are sort of natural "extreme" forms of libertarianism. Intellectually, libertarianism starts with a negative claim that except in extraordinary cases, the collective has no right to interfere with individuals. This remains true today. Core items (legalization of prostitution, drugs, elimination of many taxes) begin with the pretext that the collective has no right to regulate individual behavior in these domains.

Classical liberalism emerged in Britain (Locke, Smith, Mill, etc.). It has roots in a blend of English utilitarianism and enlightenment-era attempt to root the form of government in reason. "Rights" in classical liberalism are important, but they aren't necessarily more foundational than well-being. Anarchism is seem as trivially untenable (Hobbes' "nature red of tooth and claw"). Liberalism tries to identify a core set of functions (security, laws and their enforcement, public infrastructure) and a set of mechanisms (constitutions, elections, courts, etc.) to implement them, and has a very enlightenment-era emphasis on building institutions that are robust to "bad" actors. It does cleave towards a minimalist view of government, and does elevate rights like freedom of speech, but these are seen as intrinsically grey and are framed much more in terms of limiting the power of government institutions to ensure that they remain true to their mission/function.

I don't think that's flame bait, or super controversial.

Do the words mean something else to you?

It's rather straightforward though for any further away observer; if you're referring to the BLM protests they were clearly embodying a concrete universal in the historical moment, whereas here it is much harder to argue that having been the case.

Moreover, American political movements against vaccination have to my mind without much doubt led to many, many avoidable deaths in the past few years, even if direct causality is harder to establish. So it is not so puzzling or amazing to observe where people's sympathies align at this point of the pandemic.
Using up BTB slots is an interesting problem but in practice doesn't seem to be a big issue. If it was, ISAs would use things like hinted branches but instead they've been taking them away. Code size is more important but hot/cold splitting can help there.

A problem with using exceptions instead is they defeat the return address prediction by unwinding the stack.
> This all madness started when Canadian government couldn't admit that with omicron vaccine mandates no longer make much sense.

At the time this convoy began, Ontario was experiencing a surge in its hospitals with around 4000 hospital beds occupied by people with COVID.[1][2] Note, that's from COVID, not with COVID.

While it may turn out to be true that Omicron made mandates make no sense, keep in mind these rules were in response to the US' implementation, announced in October of last year.[3] Canada implemented these to sync up and provide clarity at the borders in January, when then American rules went into effect.[4]

Goal of NATO is “to safeguard the freedom, common heritage and civilisation of their peoples, founded on the principles of democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law. … to promote stability and well-being in the North Atlantic area.” [1]
