> What? Is this what happens in MacOS? Because it's definitely not happening in Windows, the cut file does not disappear, it stays until pasted. I can't even fathom that this scenario would be real in any modern OS. File object and text should be handled as separate class of entities and this situation should not occur even theoretically.

Isn't that just move? With a small tweak that involves also deleting the original when moving across drives, rather than keeping it? The author framed cut and paste as completely different from this: "It’s not cut and paste. macOS has copy and disregard-copy-actually-move-instead"

Interesting anyhow. I don't know if Linux has cut-and-paste, but I've used it and Mac for years and never felt a need for this.

And yes, I do rename things frequently, it's a basic filesystem operation.
"So I'm very sure we all need to look ourselves in the mirror."

The problem with this "everyone's to blame, lets just heal and move on" is that what happened never gets addressed. There have been serious policy failures, along with possible corruption and collusion between institutions that are supposed to be above reproach. Institutions that we need to trust. People were told to "listen to the science" - and they did, largely. They trusted "the science" with their lives. Now it seems Pfizer petitioned a court to keep their vaccine trial data private for 75 years. That doesn't sound very scientific to me. Nor does the published video call between two UK scientists arguing about the suppression of data related to Ivermectin. But no, "science" is fine - we're all to blame, so lets just move on, right?
But it is clearly known up front. It's not printed on a sign, but neither is the rule you can't spit at the waitor. Both are clearly socially known.

Hey, we (Nim programming language[1]) get constant false positives on Windows Defender. This has started relatively recently and we think is due to a recent increase in the number of whitehats using Nim but it really affects our community negatively. It seems that Windows Defender marks anything that looks like Nim[2] as being a virus which is very unreliable and causes many of our users to get hit by virus warnings as soon as they attempt to install Nim. We've attempted to submit the files concerned as false positives to no avail[3].

Can you or anyone else help resolve this?

FWIW OpenGL only mapped to how the hardware worked for a particular vendor (Nvidia) and a very short time (~GeForce 2, IIRC).

OpenGL was always a higher level API, it just is an API that provides functionality instead of being a framework (so you had to make your own). Even in SGI hardware a lot of features were done only in software and during that time on PCs most cards could barely do more than rasterization and transformations (and some not even that).
You are not familiar with Putin's rhetoric at all then.

He wants to remove Ukraine as a country, a nation, a people and a separate identity from "Russia" and "Russian".

Just a couple introductory links, and this is the soft stuff, it goes well beyond that:

My east-ukrainian girlfriend almost exclusively spoke Russian. Up until now. She and her friends have been switching to Ukrainian because they feel their entire identity and culture is being threatened. And she's from the part of Ukraine that identifies the most with Russia.

> a borrowing from Sanskrit is highly unlikely

In which sense? Most of the content of post-Latin languages seems to be post-Sanskrit. Not necessarily as a direct derivation, but as a full appearance: you normally can see the Sanskrit dropped into Greek dropped into Latin (whatever the path, descendants or siblings).
I agree, the article doesn't argue the case very well. It's particularly tricky with the claim about babies, since most of the research on this (in general) deals with older children. (It's hard to study language acquisition in those who can't speak yet!)

I think you may be confusing emotional/gesture communication with visual speech cues. Because there really aren't that many visual cues for speech apparent with a mask on. Lipreading focuses on the lips, jawline, tongue, teeth, and nostrils (all covered up) along with the eyes and eyebrows and throat.

Anecdotally, I'm pretty much deaf, and I can lipread pretty well. I sometimes cannot even tell if someone is speaking or not behind a mask, let alone figure out what they're saying. I am poor at localizing sound. I'll hear a voice, or think I hear a voice, and I'm scanning all the masks trying to figure out which one is wiggling. With my residual hearing and lipreading I used to be able to pass as hearing in most contexts. These days I just do the "No, I'm deaf" up front because I just can't understand most people who are masked. The severity of it surprised me. I knew I relied on lipreading, I just didn't realize it was that much.

From that, it seems almost obvious to me that I would have had a much more language-poor environment in school under such conditions. Unfortunately I don't have much more than anecdote to rely on here; most deaf and HoH people I know have expressed similar sentiments.

When people talk about "the old web" freshmeat (and its more visual equivalent, themes.org) is usually near the top of my mind. The ability to just see what everyone was up to without layers of product marketing (or, ugh, "DevRel") on top, and what random (real, not capitalism-induced) itches people were scratching was a creative rush. The closest thing to a programmer's equivalent of an art squat and junk shop.

Its absence is also one of the reasons I think the Linux desktop got so insular in the past decade. Freshmeat was a water cooler for people working on small components - here's a text editor, here's an ebook reader, here's 50 music players - go build your own environment. Where do you go today to "shop" for free software? Usually, just your distro's package repo.

The only comparable online experience I saw in the past decade was the high point of tumblr, albeit for a very different context.
It's funny you say that. I just went through that process and I was immensely annoyed at our healthcare system.

I've been suspecting low vitamin D for my quite some time. Felt very lethargic, and on the weekend without setting an alarm I just straight up slept 15+ hours. (and a few other issues, which I am not sure whether they are related to that, time will tell)

I've been complaining about that for some time, even mentioned the possibility of a deficit to my doctor, but he never agreed to look into that direction.

I finally went around my doctor and got a blood drawn and sent to a lab for a vitamin D test, and the results were what I expected: 4ng/ml (which is extremely low).

I went to my doctor with those results, they just told me to "go out more".

I called two other offices, both of which didnt take me as a patient and one even just told me to look at the internet.

I was infuriated by all those three offices. After some research I now ordered supplements myself and made a treatment plan and I am planning to get another blood test in 2 months to check in on my levels and adjust accordingly.

Might be an answer.
I meant that I was, back in the day, a mac user, I tested a lot of Flash content and that it was very, very shitty.
Might have been a Smalltalk influenced thing. "Do it" is a menu option in the smalltalk scratch pad like thing called a workspace, you can type in a bit of code, select it with the mouse and "do it" which means run the code, or "inspect it" which will open a display of what was returned from your code when it ran.
Last decade in web design was mostly spent on inventing ways to make reading text on the internet less convenient.
I didn't know it was gone.

But seeing this makes me sentimental, I spent a lot of time there in my younger (and Linux) years.

Yeah this happens to me on Reddit as well. Twitter used to be like this too where a tweet opened like a "lightbox" but a couple years ago they changed it so that clicking a tweet goes to a page with the individual tweet. Generally in UX I like to avoid this concept of dialog boxes, modals etc but everyone ends up re-learning that after naively implementing things in this "A screen pops up over another screen" manner

Windows Defender also features exploit protection: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defe...

And attack surface reduction rules (which you must configure) - which greatly reduces office worker possibility of catching some nasty stuff:

Block abuse of exploited vulnerable signed drivers
Block Adobe Reader from creating child processes
Block all Office applications from creating child processes
Block credential stealing from the Windows local security authority subsystem (lsass.exe)
Block executable content from email client and webmail
Block executable files from running unless they meet a prevalence, age, or trusted list criterion
Block execution of potentially obfuscated scripts
Block JavaScript or VBScript from launching downloaded executable content
Block Office applications from creating executable content
Block Office applications from injecting code into other processes
Block Office communication application from creating child processes
Block persistence through WMI event subscription * File and folder exclusions not supported.
Block process creations originating from PSExec and WMI commands
Block untrusted and unsigned processes that run from USB
Block Win32 API calls from Office macros

We should be very careful on our strategy here. Alienating a whole new generation of Russians cannot lead to good results in the future. We should have learned that from 20 years in Afghanistan.
Bad times for non-saas businesses you mean?
Got it. I think BVHs are similar to interval trees instead. But after I searched through related data structures, I found that the structure of segment trees is similar to that of octrees. Segment trees look like basically 1-D version of octrees.
Nothing was converted. Homestar Runner now runs an Flash emulator (ruffle) to play SWF files.

Agreed -- and I should point out I don't personally support this piracy idea at all. Just 1) entertaining, 2) intellectually interesting to see how old school, Blackbeard-style piracy with letters of marque is actually still a possibility.

There were others too. I liked Tucows Downloads too, it started even earlier, in 1993.
Adobe Air could target mobile platforms with negligible degradation and generated swfs for web, too. I and most other serious flash devs in this era had a toolchain where you built once in AS3 and published to web and mobile using frameworks like Starling.

Flash died not because it couldn't do mobile. Thinking this is part of the hit job orchestrated by Apple. Flash died because browser games can't be taxed by Apple.

The same thing is happening today with progressive web apps. Ask yourself what Apple could have against those, and now look backwards at their stance on Flash.
In 1962 rockets were vulnerable and could be preemptively destroyed as they were above ground. Therefore MAD was affected by very close rocket location.

These days Russia has rockets in Siberia silos, in submarines all over the world, and in trains moving around ready to fire. No meaningful change to MAD doctrine can be brought from Europe.
> Sugar is the Cigarettes of our time, no doubt.

People have been saying this for the past 15-20 years, yet it keeps not being true. The difference is pretty obvious with just a little thought. Sugars are part of a balanced diet, it's perfectly healthy to consume some amount of sugars during a normal day. Cigarettes have NO health benefits, they only serve to kill you. Cutting out all cigarettes is a pretty minimal sacrifice compared to avoiding large swaths of foodstuffs.

Comparing the two only makes normal people rolls their eyes at you and ignore anything you have to say from your ivory tower.

Only if you have a long lock. You'll sometimes see a lone front wheel locked to the stand, where someone ran with the frame. Most people don't lock their bike to the stand, they just use a frame lock.
We have a single use Las here in WA. We are required to purchase the single use bag from the store. And the article user bag is actually multi use (typically 50 to 100 is) we use it once, I assume most people do. I can't believe this bag is better for the environment.
But for me, the worst part is, the store makes more money. I wouldn't mind so much if the 8 cent tax went into some sort of recycle or cleanup program. But to make the store richer, send wrong somehow
Yes all the while taking advantage of their services and probably working for VC backed companies hoping that one of the “evil capitalistic companies” will acquire them.

Most of it comes down to an integrated and cohesive development/creative experience for the content author. The current tooling provides such a level of friction that people aren’t experimenting and pushing boundaries of web content like they did when Flash was popular.

I typically work for creative digital agencies, and every single project requires so much tool/framework/library exploration now. Back in the day, you would always just use Flash, and you got the project done really fast. Everything takes so much longer now, and it’s because of tool fragmentation, or just plain lack of tools.

If I ask the question, “what animation tool should I use for animated web content”, there just isn’t a good answer. Back in the day, you would just use Flash.
Where I live we had 14 hours of sunlight per entire January of last year. 14 hours. FOR ENTIRE MONTH. And sunrise is past 9 in the morning where entire population is already indoors working, sunset is about 3 in the afternoon.

So yeah, I maybe got 15 minutes of sun for entire January, but this is my generous guess.
>>>The conflict is all due to having a dictator in one part of that equation.

Don't pin the turn of events on one man. He is merely the strongest in a coalition of kleptocrats, all of which hold some variation of similar principles. Who do you think will run the country if Putin steps down / retires / dies / goes to jail for warcrimes /etc? Do you imagine suddenly a free democratic election will instantly usher in EU-style rainbows and happiness? The country has ~6,000 nuclear weapons. Do you want a repeat of the collapse of the Soviet Union, where there was a very real concern of nukes ending up in the wrong hands? If not, there MUST be buy-in from the national security apparatus for a smooth transition of power. But you can't transition to a Western-friendly democratic President when the senior leadership of the military (who I'm sure have been carefully vetted/culled) are essentially "Neo-Russian Empire" loyalists. Another forum I frequent has a pretty level headed Russian hawk who is anti-Putin. He's said that Dmitri Medvedev is actually far scarier than Putin. He has most of his strengths but few of his character flaws. According to this guy, Medvedev wanted to do a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2014.

>>>Now it's a bit of divide an conquer for US. Let's face it, Putin screwed both EU and Russia.

I'd argue the US is screwing both the EU and Russia. I think the US keeps NATO alive in order to have America holding the position of primacy in European affairs and security. It keeps a European superpower from coalescing. A 500 million+ population Europe, with advanced tech and industry, a strong global currency, and that actually takes its defense and foreign policy seriously? That would undermine America's unipolar world order. It would be another competitor like China. Can't have that.

>>>It's very strange to blame CIA or Republicans.

I mentioned both Republicans AND Democrats, to demonstrate that these policies are party-independent. Not strange at all to blame the CIA. Look at their history.

Sovereign states can always 'unilaterally' decide to do whatever they want. It all boils down to strength, really: the US can get away with much more than anyone else (Ukraine 2022 is not so different from Iraq 2003, and yet...) because they are much stronger than anyone else.

In this case, the main limitation is that the US and Russia don't want a direct war so will refrain from direct attacks. Even this guy is not suggesting the Navy should do it. But if Russia was much smaller (and without nukes) I think the US could actually be OK with sending the Navy to seize any Russian vessel they could find.
Fair enough. IMO, Hyyro's description is easier to follow than Myers' own which may be the real explanation for its relative obscurity.

Given that we're prancing around naked in the midday sun on beaches for a large part of the year, I wouldn't doubt it. Even as late as a few decades ago, my grandparents were in the fields all day, and there's no shade there. Sure they took a midday break to eat, but that was probably only in the height of the summer.
Is the behavior change better though? I've heard claims that reusable bags have to be used a lot(like thousands of times) to actually be better.

The parent comment is probably talking about the J2EE packages which used to come with the JRE before Java 11; a lot of code which used to run on Java 8 and earlier no longer runs on Java 11 and later unless you manually add a couple of extra JARs to the classpath (and good luck knowing which ones are needed when reflection is involved).

However, the grandparent comment is talking about Java 1, which is before J2EE; the thing which would break code from that time is probably not going to be XML, but instead things like Applet support. There's a good chance that a Java 1 app is in fact an applet designed to run within a browser, and no longer runs fine on Java 17 since the Java plugin is no longer supported.

Devils advocate: if the majority of business software is sold from the US and the US is refusing to sell software to Russia, what choice is there?

I’m sure the Russian government are using Microsoft Office, if they can’t legally buy it anymore then they must make the piracy of it legal: or they’re breaking their own laws.

Or they retrain on open/libreoffice. But that unfortunately has a poor track record of working.

As staunch of a FOSS advocate as I am, this is probably the sensible move for now. :/

Vulkan has a very high initial cost when it comes to lines of code. You have to recreate a lot of stuff that you took for granted in OpenGL, such as a default framebuffer to draw to. Also, a lot of boilerplate code to create resources can be abstracted away into functions to reuse later. So while you might need a lot of lines to even draw a triangle, you won't need many more lines to draw a full 3D model.
That's great to see, someone changing their behavior after a mis-prediction.
