Most tagging systems that I have seen are free form. Anyone can just tag something with tags like 'James', '2002', or 'Bank Statement'. This makes it difficult to distinguish between them and easily find things like misspellings. All tags must be of the same data type (string). A generic term like 'Tank' might refer to a water storage device, a military vehicle, or someone's nickname.

With Didgets, I decided to go with a contextual approach to tagging. Just like columns in a relational table, a tag must be defined before you can use it and all like tags are managed together. A tag can have a data type so 'Year' can be an Integer, for example. The system comes with a set of pre-defined tags, but users can easily add whatever tags they might need. That way a tag has the form 'Author = James' or 'Device = Camera'. I went further and decided each tag definition would have two levels. '.person.FirstName = James' might be a tag on a picture of someone named James. This makes it easier to search for tags by group (e.g. find all documents that have '.person.*' tags attached).
By managing the tag values together, the UI can quickly show a list of values that have been used previously (and order them by use count). When attaching names to photos, it can show you a list of the most used names and let you pick one or ignore the list and add a new one.

This system is far from perfect. Users can still misspell tags or categorize them incorrectly. But this can happen with folder names in existing file systems as well.

Just to be clear, tags in Didgets do not have to be the primary organizing mechanism. It has 'Set Didgets' that contain the IDs of all members and can be arranged in a hierarchy just like folders. When importing files, the UI creates these sets (unless the user specifically turns it off) and preserves the hierarchy of the source file system.
When i called romania’s border police to ask if ukrainians can enter without a visa they said those with biometric passports dont need a visa but actually said those without need a visa. When i asked if visas can be given on the spot they simply hang up on me. Maybe something changed but for an eu and nato member state romania has a lot to work on.

Edit: typo.
> But, more than that, he points out that it shows the world was not divided between East and West in quite the way it was long assumed to be. One of the foundational legends of Western culture, it turns out, involved a powerful political actor that lay across the sea from Europe, in what is now Turkey, with influence that extended all the way to central Anatolia.

This is very misleading. Anyone familiar with history knows that Anatolia was part of the West — it was, after all, held by the Roman Empire for centuries. It was only lost during the Arab-Byzantine Wars, and the Arabs were eventually replaced by the Turks. But once upon a time, Anatolia was Western.

Recently I've noticed that the GitHub and Stack Overflow scraper clones will often be the only result for this kind of query. It looks like the blackhats have found a way to rank higher then the content they're cloning. I suspect this has the side effect of tricking Google's anti-spam system into punishing the canonical domains and URLs, because it thinks they're copies of higher ranked content.

Why Financial Analysis Matters
(Speaking totally out of turn and without any sort of knowledge of the situation)

The rapid response of the Yakuza may simply be opportunistic and predatory.

Food, clothes, shelter, help to save precious heirlooms, those are all inflexible needs.

Borrowing on "social credit" on inflexible needs can be exploitatively steep later.

In the Yakuza-as-"helpers" model, they're taking advantage of chaos and economics theories.

I think you can see what is really happening if we switch out "Yakuza" with any outlaw criminal organization in the States like as in "During the floods of '22, I got help to save my photos of my great grandparents from the Gambino's...", or "During the hurricane and disasters of '22, I needed antibiotics for my daughter, the Hell's Angel's helped me..."

bzip2 is almost always the worst option. it is significantly slower and results in larger output than xz, which is in turn slower and larger than 7zip (lzma2).
Recently I integrated the mold linker into a Rust project and linking of the main executable saw a speedup of 3.35x. This is pretty helpful for incremental builds where you typically edit one file and then build, so you have one compile and then the link. There is no build-job parallelism at that point so every second counts :)
“Best” is really subjective and depends on your goals. It’s certainly a nice language, but it’s really a modern take on C++ rather than C. Zig is worth a mention here: it’s a modern take on C, and it tries to avoid the complex features that Rust uses to prove safety at compile time. There’s a contingent of people who don’t like the complexity of Rust or C++ but want to move away from the C footguns, and they normally become Zig fans.

That said, C is still a perfectly fine, very mainstream choice. If you just want to learn systems programming (rather than simultaneously learning systems programming and a new language), it might be the right place to start.

Women in Afghanistan got 20 years of rights and freedoms before the Taliban regained control. Residents of Hong Kong have numerous opportunities for expedited visas/immigration to Western countries.

Things aren't perfect. Things aren't even "good". But help exists. There's a wide spectrum between perfectly solving a problem and doing nothing. We need to all keep working to help where we can, how we can. We can make bad situations less bad, we can save some people, we need to embrace doing what we can.
They are Oberon, the system that was described on the first edition of Project Oberon was the version 1.

ETHZ researchers and Niklaus Wirth then iterated further on the Oberon (the OS) and Oberon (the language).

The definitive Oberon (the OS) version that still uses the plain Oberon (the language) from original project was System 3, which is what those videos relate to.

In Active Oberon used to write AOS (BlueBottle OS), you can still relauch System 3 as a nested OS.
Is garlic routing better then onion routing?
This is the first time I've heard anybody talk about Clubhouse in a while so I'll say... yeah.

A general theme I see is firms making third-rate knockoffs of structured video interaction platforms. For instance the company that owns "match.com" and "okCupid" has a really lame livestreaming platform that seems like a knockoff of a camgirl platform complete with the ability to give people gifts. I've got no idea what that's got to do with dating (seriously poly people might be dating 5 people at a time, but the impedance mismatch between 200 people simping for 1 person on a video chat and that person having a 1-1 relationship with anybody seems insurmountable.)

I think these days though anybody can dream up something like that and implement it pretty easily between SaaS video platforms, open source software, and the conferencing capabilities built into web browsers. Getting people to do something meaningful over it is that hard part.
Slightly off-topic: has anyone here read Rust in Action[1]? How does it compare to other resources?

> about 2.3 million people are incarcerated in the United States. On average, close to 4% of them are held in solitary confinement.

Almost 100K people in solitary confinement is insane. These are dehumanizing psychologically destabilizing conditions, with permanent psychological effects, that are among the worst thing you can do to someone.

I find it incredible that it has become so standardize and ordinary in the USA, instead of a rare last resort thing for extreme problems.

I chose the proton mass because it dominates the ordinary matter component of the universe.

Chemistry and the absorption lines or astrophysical maser emissions of molecular clouds (of water, ammonia, and so on) works in all directions and at all scales, or we would very excitedly notice differences in the equivalents of the Lyman-alpha forest and wonder what was happening to protons in different parts of the universe. As far as we can tell, protons interact gravitationally, electromagnetically, and via weak interactions in identical fashion everywhere and everywhen.

We could certainly talk about electrons instead of protons. Focusing on baryons and discussing baryonic matter, rather than things like leptons, is more cultural than anything. For example: https://astronomy.swin.edu.au/cosmos/B/Baryonic+Matter
(Electrons and neutrons are practically always dancing with protons; for the most part it's only protons that you find going solo in large numbers in ionized clouds.
Likewise, where do you find most of the universe's quarks and gluons? In protons.)

Of course one could also say that as far as we can tell from observation, the Standard Model works well everywhere in the observed universe. There may be some small correcting terms yet to be added to make it work better or in regimes or regions not yet observed, but "small" is important there. (Personally, when I hear "SM" I hear relativistic QFT on curved spacetime, and start thinking of the behaviour of dozens of fields, and in that context electrons are already messy (cf. dressed electrons), and protons are almost incomprehensible: https://profmattstrassler.com/articles-and-posts/largehadron... just scratches the surface!)

I don't think there is a clean distinction between a fuedal/fascist society, and one where organized crime, historically often tied to ultranationalist far right parties, leads the response in crises. That is what I'd expect in a fascist society, an active para-government organization tied to particular politicians and parties.

(That being said, I don't really think the Yakuza even meets this romanticized vision that is pretty much fascism. There is more fiction presenting them as cruel but competent organization builders, and less presenting them as violent meth addicts.)
To add to the list of unfiltered OSINT straight from Ukraine/Russia, Telegram channels/groups are invaluable (but treat everything as unconfirmed rumors until confirmed elsewhere):

You may want to look at the guidance from a16z. https://future.a16z.com/emerging-architectures-modern-data-i...

They are basically recommending picking one of the big three: Snowflake, Bigquery, or Redshift. Using standard connectors. Once your data is in one of the big three, you can use any analysis tool.

I have been involved in this space for some time and am heavily involved with Salesforce. In my corner of the world, I still lean heavily on SQL Server and Cdata/Dbamp which allows me to replicate and write back to Salesforce via SQL batch jobs. Tableau Online has also been a game changer as it allows business folks to do a lot of the heavy lifting. Our BI team now consists of three senior tech folks and 12 business analysts.

If all data belongs to a user or an organization, which is usually the case, and that user does some actions to some objects, is that not relational? It's easy to see how most web apps fall into this pattern.

I don’t think “best” means anything objective, and “systems” is also pretty ambiguous (it describes a class, but that can be interpreted extremely broadly). Rust is still fresh, and people like new things. I think it has legs, but practically I think things need the test of time and many critical projects before you can really assert that it’s the “best”, if at all.

In terms of playing with hardware: did you want to learn rust, or understand low-level programming? I think rust will help you make a more robust, correct application (with a lot of time and effort understanding rust itself), while C won’t do much to help you but you’ll be able to be right next to the hardware. Personally, I think if your goal is to understand how hardware works, I’d use C. (But if you want to learn rust, use rust.)
You need to finish that sentence: "...prove CIPS enables imperialist expansion."

Killing over 1 million Iraqis, most of them civilians, counts as a "win"?

The war massively damaged the US government's credibility, both domestically and internationally, cost the US ~$2T, and did little to stabilize the region; one might be able to argue that it destabilized it, in fact. The US won a military victory in Iraq, but emerged worse off on the whole as a result.

FYI your comment was marked [dead], I vouched for it because I think it contributes to the conversation.

Update: I think you must have been caught in some automatic system because every comment (including your account's first) was already marked [dead] but not [flagged]. This does not seem to have been users flagging you or anything, maybe you use an IP previously used by a troll or so? Or a keyword detector in the first comment set it off (e.g. since the words "You're wrong," might trigger he-said, she-said conversation when taken by itself) maybe? Idk. /update.

> This is a bit exaggerated.

Yes, I was mostly joking in that cited part, that's why I added "(jk)" :). I understand there's much more to it than just that, it just read funnily to me. (Not meant as laughing 'at' you! Hope it didn't come across like that.)

> once you ensured the authenticity, the source doesn't matter as much.

Yes, but that's TOFU. Secure in most cases, but if it's used all the time, an attacker will catch today's lucky ten thousand (xkcd.com/1053) who first download a certain app or who just (re)installed their phone.

Hence my suggestion of something like PGP, where the authenticity can be established more reliably than having everyone hope it wasn't compromised on first download. (It's a good alarm mechanism though, if suddenly everyone else's update fails, so any compromise of app signing keys wouldn't be long-lived. But I do feel like the article argues for a much higher security standard than TOFU.)

Alternatively with f-droid, the CA system is used, and TOFU doesn't go away. If the CA system is compromised, there are still the app signing keys. Conversely, if the signing keys are compromised, the attacker also still needs to compromise the distribution channel or server.

No, they compile code. That's not just semantic quibbling either - code generators generate code which itself then must be compiled as well. Compilers translate code (and sometimes transform) into another form but don't write or generate it.

There's been a lot of talk if the West does this Putin would react by waging an ongoing cyber war against the US. There's been plenty of articles about how they've been hacking US infrastructure for years now.

I think the fear of a cyber war is stopping them right now.

https://www.wired.com/story/sandworm-cyclops-blink-hacking-t...

ANY APPEARANCE OF a new tool used by Russia's notorious, disruptive Sandworm hackers will raise the eyebrows of cybersecurity professionals braced for high-impact cyberattacks. When US and UK agencies warn of one such tool spotted in the wild just as Russia prepares a potential mass-scale invasion of Ukraine, it's enough to raise alarms.
The posh ruling elite in Moscow and StP want to deceive the West into thinking Russia is a mad dog that is too dangerous to bother. They want to scare the West from imposing total economic sanctions. They want to scare the West from supplying the Ukrainian resistance.

Always remember Russia is a rational actor no matter how much Putin and Lavrov are fear mongering about sanctions leading to a nuclear WW3. The French foreign minister was the first to call out their bluff yesterday. I hope more Western leaders will follow.

It is worth noting that even the worst disaster in human history, while sometimes toppling empires, failed to really destroy communities within less than a couple of generations. And after more than one generation a community changed, or migrated, more than it was destroyed.

The plague didn't do it Europe. All the earth quakes and other natural disasters didn't do it long term (immediate effects are catastrphic so). Famines come close, and even then communities rebuild and survive. I have yet to see a real world example of a Walking Dead like scenario. The dinosaurs and the asteroid maybe, but those dinosaurs left so little documebtation, it's a shame.

Pretty much all of the rendering pipeline runs on the GPU, in compute shaders. In most 2D renderers, the CPU is doing a lot of the work (tesselating vector shapes into triangle meshes, computing bounding boxes, etc). In piet-gpu, the CPU just encodes a high-level, declarative description of the scene (semantically similar to SVG) in an efficient binary format, and the GPU does the rest.

Regarding hardware support, it needs a GPU capable of compute shaders (which rules out a bunch of the older or very low end mobile chips). There is a hardware abstraction layer which currently supports Vulkan, Direct3D12, and Metal, but I believe D3D11 could be added, as well as other lower level interfaces (I took a look at deko3d and was tempted to use that as a way to port to Nintendo Switch).
