That phrasing seems to imply to readers that awareness of a serious/expensive security vulnerability would result in it being fixed.
You can't even buy online without JS because card collection (HTML forms) requires PCI Certification, which is expensive and the majority of merchants can't afford it.
you're conflating financing with financialization, which are two very different points in a multidimensional spectrum. financing is certainly helpful to allow capital projects to shift forward (or backward) in time to deliver (and perhaps capture) greater value. and under the constraints of scarcity, it helps allocate resources more efficiently, price risk more accurately, and provides necessarily liquidity in markets.

we're way beyond the constraints of scarcity and the ideals of efficient resource allocation because we've decoupled finance and the money supply from the natural constraints under which our economic theories "work" (i use that term loosely, since economics has done a poor job of accounting for actual human behavior vs. the idealized). we're at a point where economic activity is about the money itself, rather than what it represents in the real world, things like bridges, restaurants, and dry cleaning. that's financialization, when it becomes decoupled from real value.

all that takes away from wanting to build real things, because the perception is that it's just easier to "get rich quick" via financialization schemes. if you can get the money without the hard work of delivering real value, why not? is the thinking. that's corrosive to social fabrics, not to mention economies themselves. that's why we're where we're at, rather than a simplistic demonization of 'financing' in isolation.

> Why would that hurt anybody wanting to play it on harder level is beyond me...

Two reasons, first people can't control themselves. Just like people have a hard time not eating a cake sitting in front of them they also have a hard time not using easier difficulty modes, even when they would enjoy the harder ones more. You can't just tell these people to control themselves, to them this is a really important part of the game and adding difficulty options hurts their ability to enjoy the game. Not using easy mode is as easy as not eating so much and get fat, if you could solve the issue that easily then 50% of the population wouldn't be obese.

Secondly is development, if you add easy modes most testers will run the game through on easy, and the game will mostly be designed around easy. Hard mode gets run to see that it is possible, but not to see that it is enjoyable, meaning that in basically every game with multiple difficulty modes the hard mode is a boring slogfest. Fromsoft games is a breath of fresh air here, they are hard without being boring, that is its major selling point.
I agree it's a moving target, but the point is that the current capabilities matter most, potential future capabilities matter less, and spec sheet or artificially constrained benchmark comparisons matter least. I'm bullish on Apple Silicon, but it is far more likely for your average gamer or GPU compute coder to think that the M1 Ultra is not better than an RTX 3090. It's not being "unfair" if you don't highlight a game that has been specifically optimized, if such games are few and far between, and it is far from assured that that will change. A really good comparison would highlight those cases where AS-specific optimization does improve things significantly, but even there, it should really emphasize that the comparison of M1 Ultra to an RTX 3090 is only favorable given an artificial power constraint on the latter (Apple mention it rather than emphasize it, but a good journalist will emphasize it).

So is AS more technically impressive, and does it have more growth potential in the hardware and software (as adoption hopefully grows)? Absolutely. Is it currently materially "better"? For a desktop, by almost any measure, no.

India: quite a bit of astronomy and geometry. Also logic, philosophy and linguistics if you want to include them in the science list.

Indian science took a weird turn towards metaphysics and mystical stuff once the priests started playing a fundamental role in education.
I'm sorry, can we go back to the part where i "don't let my neighbors" do something? Unless they are in violation of a law that is actually enforced by someone, I don't think I have standing to let or not let them do anything.
A facetious example of the lunacy of the existing "Code of Conduct" brigade:

- Project members must be treated with impunity if they wear footwear inside or not but especially if the footwear is required to define the personality of the wearer.

- Project members must be treated with impunity if they smoke inside or not, especially if their preference is vape brand bubble gum heaven.

- Obey the law, obey the speed limit in your country.

- Obey the law, pay for your groceries.

- The contribution of code, ideas or documentation to the project is unnecessary.

A Sane "Code of Conduct", which would not be written down because it's implied by baseline civility and common sense:

- This project requires cordial behaviour from everyone involved.

- This project is to improve this particular software (and/or documentation, artwork etc)
> is all about helping you forget that you're writing asynchronous code

I get what you're saying but you literally need to type out "async" and "await" to use it. I'm not sure what else they could do to force you to consider that it has a temporal component.

My issue is that this article 1) doesn't actually mention any specific problems 2) doesn't show or discuss any examples at all 3) doesn't offer any advice about what to do. What is a programmer supposed to take away from this, other than general FUD?
Also influenced by the original Mac UI, which influenced Motif, which influenced later toolkits. It was a great time for standard interfaces, which has gotten worse since, imho.
Did your county see a change in significant improvement in socioeconomic status during that time period? Because that’s not a fair comparison. Note I said I was talking about places Northern VA in the 1990s, or Silicon Valley in the 1970s. I’ve never seen these places get better under Democrats.

Also, virtually no republicans “retire to LA and NY” lol. Maybe billionaires who can insulate themselves from the dysfunction of those cities. For middle class people, the major internal migration trend in the country is people leaving those places for Texas, the Carolinas, etc.
Whatever, I never said anything about it being 100% monolithically seas of exposed granite. I've been around Northern Ontario and seen plenty of farmland, but it's the exception to the rule and that can be clearly seen in satellite maps.

BTW that area looks neat. I'd like to visit. But it does look like the farmland there is a product of a low lying lake basin, maybe sedimentary deposits left over after glaciation? And sticks out like a sore thumb from the surrounding area. (EDIT: just read up on the "Timiskaming Graben"... cool!)

I do think, on the whole, northern Ontario stands to do better out of climate change than many other places in the world.
And yet... how often does that actually happen?
I mean, we're both mammals with a somewhat recent common ancestor, I'd assume the brain doesn't change that much between such species.
The story here is not one guy's opinion of what the real numbers might be. The real story is the confirmation that CDC has significantly revised child fatalities from Covid downwards, and instead of announcing it widely (to temper fear), they quietly added a vague footnote to their data, with the hope that nobody would notice the revision.
That's a different topic.
It was a combination of his force (RCMP has different types of jurisdiction across Canada) and his specialty.
You seem to be talking about long term underproduction.

In the Irish case, the subsistence farmers would have been devastated by a US overproduction even before a famine, similar to subsistence farmers in Africa and India today.

Holodomor includes perpetual mismanagement and a political decision not to accept food help or really do anything. No amount of overproduction before Stalin would have prevented food being seized and then rotting in transit.

Certainly it's the case that you need at least enough overproduction to drive prices down marginally and to restock a reserve if it is actually used, and make speculation not a sure bet.. I think current subsidies go beyond that and arguably don't work because all that overproduction drove innovations in making food fungible to energy (i.e. as ethenol) and energy is now a more retainable wealth as the major input to proof of work.
This is usually handled by tabs today... not sure that has been ported back to libs like turbo vision yet. I don't think so.

I believe you, and it sounds like that is fun for you.

Maybe I can explain by analogy. I'm very fond of the author Raymond Chandler, who wrote noir mysteries. I love his work, and especially the way he uses language. But I don't care at all who did it. The artificial puzzle aspect of mysteries just doesn't interest me.

It's the same deal here. I get people like this kind of thing. I'm just saying I'm not one of those people. It sounds like I might appreciate the aesthetics of the game, so if I could play through it on easy mode, I might. Sort of the way I read through a mystery and am allowed to ignore the whodunnit aspect.

I agree with your gut feeling, and I disagree quite strongly with most of the sentiment found in the comments of this article, stating that the lack of children stems from selfishness or responsibility towards the planet.

High rents and other features of contemporary society make it difficult and expensive to have children. These things also make it difficult to get enough time for children, with the amount of income-generating work that's required. Then, most of the care is offloaded to professional caretakers, as this gives a significant improvement to the budgets of time and money.

My suspicion is that many who state that they skip kids due to the environment or personal reasons, actually just need a fig leaf to cover the fact that they're financially unable to support kids while maintaining a lifestyle that makes children net positive for their own quality of life. For most, this would be a pretty painful admission to make, but there's plenty of observations indicating it's true for many.

In contrast to most people here, I believe that this is actually a pretty big problem. It's not as bad as having a birthrate of 4 and sprinting into a demographic catastrophe, but economic growth in the sense of making all aspects of life better and cheaper is critical if we want to make civilization sustainable. Balanced demographics and kids raised with love, care, plenty and care from capable parents are a very important part of that. This is one of the things I actually believe the conservatives get right.

Don't know about regressions. Did it maybe just take people some time to figure out that Google Bot is really, really captivated by a riveting story to accompany that pancake recipe?
Yep, and that is miyazaki's feelings as well.

"We don't want to include a difficulty selection because we want to bring everyone to the same level of discussion and the same level of enjoyment," Miyazaki said. "So we want everyone … to first face that challenge and to overcome it in some way that suits them as a player."

"We want everyone to feel that sense of accomplishment. We want everyone to feel elated and to join that discussion on the same level. We feel if there's different difficulties, that's going to segment and fragment the user base. People will have different experiences based on that [differing difficulty level]. This is something we take to heart when we design games. It's been the same way for previous titles and it's very much the same with Sekiro."

It makes some sense, the constant in the world is the bosses, so you have to change yourself in some way to beat them. If you suck at souls games, like I do, that means a lot of studying to finally win. But then I'm content that I've beaten the same thing everyone has.

You don’t have to flick anything. Windows align against each other and you can position them how you like. You can even configure it to always open specific apps in a particular virtual desktop should you chose.

If you want a full screen app that you flick through like an iPad you can. If you want a mess of windows on one desktop you can use App Exposé to see only the ones from a particular app. If you want a tiling manager you can install one.

If you want to turn off all the gestures you can.

It’s a mature desktop OS that has many ways of doing things.
The problem with these sorts of mitigations is that they take programs that are insecure by design on systems never intended to be secure and attempt to automagically retrofit security onto them. This has improved the prevailing security in many of these low security designs from laughably easy to requiring actual professional efforts by singular individuals, but are still, conservatively speaking, 100x worse than actual high security systems designed, proven, and verified to protect against high attack potential threat actors such as state actors and international organized crime who have teams of hundreds instead of being limited to small scale individual operations.

The real frontier for high security has been and continues to be adopting and then streamlining the implementation of the methodologies in use for decades demonstrated to be 100x better than the last 20 years of mitigations combined.
I largely agree with this. Occasionally it suggests a few lines that are more or less what I want, but rarely more than that.

One use case that I reach for relatively often is writing a comment to describe the one line of code I want when I can’t remember the specifics of the API I’m working with. E.g. # reset numpy random seed, and copilot pretty reliably gives me what I want.

> Respectfully there is no such thing as 'UB for me'.

Arguing like that and then saying I'm not "engaging with the points you've made" after you've been talking completely aside the points of my OP, well... you're being a bit of a pain in the butt. I totally get your points, so let's agree that we're just looking for different things.

(Btw, a couple of days ago I did try Rust once again for a few hours, intending to convert a simple toy project to it. After a few hours of fighting the compiler, editing boilerplate files, looking for the right crates for basic Win32 interop, waiting for downloads, etc... I quit without making it work. Nothing changed in my feeling that without an extreme (or potentially infinite) investment of energy, C will continue to be more productive for me personally, for what I do - despite all its flaws).
> With blockchain, users can maintain a consistent identity across the metaverse simply by verifying their wallet address, which nobody else would have access to.

This can be done with boring old encryption keys and signatures, not stupid blockchain needed. Even then it doesn't solve the avatar problem. If I make an avatar that looks just like someone else (or their avatar) it doesn't matter if people can verify someone's identity. I can effectively impersonate anyone I want if I can freely adjust an avatar. Unless you can manage to create a truly effective "avatar hash" there's no way to keep me from using someone else's model.
cool stuff. thanks for sharing!
Good to know. I've always wondered, cause I accidentally got a good whiff of it once and ... my cheeks were red for what felt like hours or a day. My memory of it is hazy.

Appreciated, thank you.

As I see it, It's not "unexplained wealth" per se that's at issue. I
find that concept (the assumption that having money you can't account
for is _alone_ automatic grounds for suspicion) quite despotic and
authoritarian. In the US it's become a means by which police can just
"legally" confiscate someone's savings. That can only go to dark
places for ordinary people who have some luck with their speculations.

It's not the money, it's what they do with it and the sort of
behaviour they "buy". There's a litany of serious crime (SOCA) and
actions by NCA or local police that mysteriously dead-end.
Intimidation of judges, police and journalists, bribery, legal threats
designed to silence investigations (SLAPP) has multiplied within
Britain thanks to "oligarchs".

For years our own leaders have allowed this to fester, turned a blind
eye, or been involved more closely - a connection between Peter
Mandelson and Oleg Deripaska is just one of the few exposed. Earlier
economic crime bills have stalled, and existing "investigatory powers"
legislation has rarely, if ever, been used successfully against these
people.

This has led to new intelligence groups, think-tanks and university
research departments set up around countering "Lawfare". Corruption is
global, as you say. But let's be honest here; just because someone is
not a _technically_ convicted criminal it doesn't mean they not
de-facto criminals to a standard most ordinary people would accept.
The problem is getting anything through a courts system so
underfunded, amidst a society so corrupted by money.

What I said is that I hope this Russo-Ukraine war has side effects
(far beyond ousting Putin) that blow-back on our own corrupt
officials.

>Apple locks their ecosystem so nobody else can make a smooth seamless experience

KDE Connect and GS Connect do virtually the same things between Linux and Android, and sometimes even more than what Apple can do[1], and is proof that you don't need vendor lock-in and a 3 trillion $ valuation to achieve the same features, just a group of dedicated enthusiasts with a vision and free time on their hands. That's the beauty of FOSS.

Unfortunately, the Apple apologetics brigade will shout loudly that vendor lock in is the key to Apple delivering these features and that openness is somehow bad as it will only hurt the ecosystem and get you hacked.

Okay, looks like your number is already lower than 75%.

Don't get me wrong, I hate what is happening and sick of Kremlin propaganda. If you are willing to have a constructive discussion, we can chat, otherwise please skip the rest. I'm on your side and support Ukraine in every way I can. Also, I admit that I haven't been to Russia in long time and don't know what exactly is happening there right now - I hope that the support is not overwhelming. I could be wrong.

I suspect that it's difficult to conduct a proper survey because I heard something (from a friend) that I haven't heard since 1990s (from parents): "this is not a phone conversation". That made me think that some people may not be comfortable telling their opinion to a stranger over the phone.

Data from liberals (is it Navalny's team?) was collected in rush and they admitted that the methodology is far from perfect. Iirc in their report they indicated that day after day the numbers were lower, which could be the result of the misinformation at the beginning.

Re public opinion about other wars: you listed many things and we'll not be able to discuss everything in this thread. I'm only curious why you went as far back as Afghanistan? Last I checked, it was the Soviet Union that invaded Afghanistan - are you sure that the public opinion in Ukraine at the time was significantly different from other republics? I'm really curious if you have any data to back it up (genuine question, willing to learn). If you wanted to add another "this is **ed up" story, Moldova would be an easier example?
Sure, it's a community concern. This gives neighbors the right to express their concerns and offer advice and help, not to overbearingly insist that work is only done by "professionals" who magically bless the situation.

Legally, it's generally commercial activity (eg contractors) that is regulated. Thus, after you've talked to your neighbor about best practices for mitigating lead dust, you've effectively exhausted your options. After that point, not "letting" them DIY will basically consist of harassment.
No, it just seems like such an arduous process that I would pick somewhere else if it were me. I'm personally likely aiming for Montana.
