Yeah, can totally see how it might come across as an incidence of 'lawfare'.

However, the UK system doesn't work like that. It's very very strongly biased to protect people like Boris Johnson from any kind of prosecution. That is perhaps why Boris Johnson is the first sitting prime minister to be fined for a criminal offense.

It's also not something that just came out of the blue. Details about the parties in his office have been being leaked to the press for months now. First, Boris denied any rules had been broken. Then, when videos surfaced, he fired people, gave speeches about how shocked and disappointed he was, and said he had no knowledge. Then, when an inquiry into it started, he said he couldn't comment on further leaks, because he wanted to wait for the results. Then, when a police investigation started, he said he couldn't comment because he didn't want to 'prejudice the investigation'. Then when he actually gets convicted, he makes out that it's not a big deal anyway.

People feel like they are being laughed at: even if the crime itself is not totally awful (although any public official would normally lose their job over it), the principle of being able to trust elected officials to have basic, table-stakes truthfulness, integrity, and honour is under threat.

Since the UK has no constitution, the democratic system is heavily reliant on politicians behaving with a reasonable degree of honesty and integrity. It's not a system with hard guarantees to protect citizens from bad actors. It's heavily reliant on politicians following conventions that protect the rights and liberties of UK citizens. A PM that follows neither convention, nor civil law, nor criminal law, is a very dangerous precedent in that system.
It seems like the heated argument part could have been avoided if both parties assumed each other's competence.

If A says they've already tried something, B could have believed that they did and that they did so with competence. A then even tried it _again_ to show B, but B still didn't trust that their coworker was doing it right.

I think it should be encouraged to double check each other's work. Often we _are_ missing something. But "Maybe you're missing something" is not a constructive contribution. At that point, B could try the thing themselves to see first hand what indeed, if anything, was "missing" instead of offering an unhelpful comment. Or suggest that maybe "we're" missing something, and then offer a concrete suggestion for how to modify the approach for another attempt.
GDPR requires consent, and no feature is allowed to be removed to coerce you into consent. So at least in the EU, there must be an option to switch off data transmissions.
I hope remote with asynchronous interactions is the future, because big cities are increasingly unlivable, and corporate culture is often a culture of distraction. Remote is hard to do right, but it's worth striving for.

Remote also greatly enhances the talent pool available for employers. It reduces cost too. It helps the environment. It's the antidote to urbanization. It potentially brings money to underdeveloped areas, which helps democracy.
UI latency is palpable, so palpable that the millions of people who use apps developed in react native wouldn't notice the difference or care. node_modules is such a dumpster fire that it's the most popular package manager in existence.

React native is for prototypes although it’s used in both the public and private sector to deliver apps. You can make 2 versions of an app in half the time apparently just by saying so.

Somewhere reality disappeared in your argument. Your employment history is of no concern to me.
> It doesn't just download random things.

That's exactly what it does. The developer is not really expected to thoroughly review the codebase of every dependency.

Just like javascript, all sort of supply chain attacks are made possible.

I don't think people should be looking at adding another language to the kernel, mostly because every OS build on it has been a disaster. We just need approach and definition for operating systems.
Interesting to see that the whole "Why men die younger?" debate should just be "Why males die younger?" instead. Does the testosterone turn us into reckless idiots?

I don't think it's sad, or a waste, or unrewarding. You've got to live somewhere, and everyone needs a hobby. I'd much rather live on a derelict ship like this for the rest of my life than in some soulless subdivision surrounded by cookie cutter houses, or in a big city. Even if the thing sinks in the end, it's a life lived well.
> What I read in this article is that German government did a thorough analysis

I am unsure how you came to that conclusion. A cost–benefit analysis need to include the benefit aspect, as otherwise it is by definition not a cost–benefit analysis.

> Everyone thinks that it is as safe as it was in the past

The article explicitly states that the security is just as safe as it was in the past. That is the issue that the German government analysis brings up. The German government has regulations that require plants to be more safe than it was in the past. It need to increase from one accident in 100,000 years, to less than one accident in 100,000 years. The German government analysis do not explain why this is more important than the benefits.

Russians invade other countries because they are not capable to produce good things by themselves. They need someone to build advanced weapons, armor, ships, planes, rockets, goods for export. Good warriors are bad makers, usually.

For example, if you are incapable to build a house, then you need to hire someone to build it for you. If you have no money, but you have an army, then you can just enslave him instead. Russian Empire is the jail of nations.
Rare, but industrially useful metals (cobalt, lithium, etc.) should be present in localized concentrations of high-grade ore on the lunar surface, along with platinum-group metals. We didn't use to think so, but our understanding of regolith and impact dynamics has come pretty far in the last few years and we now expect that a lot of the small impact craters on the moon asteroid cores that survived and are either dispersed in the crater floor, or for metallic impactors buried a few 10's of meters underground. So basically everything you would go to the asteroid belt to get, you can find on the lunar surface, far more accessible to humans in the decades to come.

But beyond that, the moon will no doubt export large amounts of volatiles from the permanently shadowed craters in the poles, and structural building materials for construction in Earth orbit or elsewhere in cis-lunar space, or the fueling of expeditions to the rest of the solar system. You'd just have to tilt the spin launcher to a different angle and adjust the throw velocity to send payloads on other trajectories through cis-lunar space.
In certain environments i have extensively worked in, the machines on which one builds are only allowed internet access on an ip:port basis after months long process involving dozens of people in multiple teams.

milliseconds precision triggering of mechanism is trivial. It just means you need a processor which clocks megahertz not kilohertz.
Tbh, it doesn’s look like the wrong repo name if you want to make your organisation README private. I agree with the author that the discrepancy between user and organisation profiles doesn’t help here. If every user/organisation could make a .github repo instead it would be much more obvious.
I recently gave a talk at a Gophers meetup with the title "Introduction to Go Generics".

I've created these slides with https://sli.dev

I remember reading Girard's "Things hidden since the foundation..." and feeling the way it's used now to reason around human desires to be incomplete.

Looking back at my grandfather's living as a simple peasant, he did many things mimetically, yet there were long periods of nothingness where his internal desires sprung forth: one day I remember he just weaved basked because he wanted new baskets. There was no need for them, there was nobody among our neighbors that was doing this, he was free and decided to make some baskets.

That's why I'd relabel desires as internal or external originating instead of thick and thin. True internal desires come out best when there aren't any externally generated desires, and modern life seems to overload our capacity for generating internal originated desires. Internal desires now only seem to show up in times of crisis, and then we've got a much harder time to actually work with them.
Yes, and it is a feature. A) it protects them legally and mentally (you just follow the current standard)

B) you do not want your doctor to have a scientific mindset, which would mean experimenting with your condition with the aim to learn more about nature

At most you want the detective mindset (aka House MD), if you have something uncommon, but you do not want it all the time.

> USB-A is useful for tons of accessories, personally I only have a one (out of five in total) using USB-C, and most USB sticks I come across when consulting are in fact USB-A.

> If you're out after as much screen estate as possible, external monitors are for you. A 14-inch laptop are for people on the go.

I code on the go and I don't want to be on a small resolution laptop when I m not at home.
Not at all. Pulling sources, reviewing and vetting them and finally building are completely different steps.

Linux package maintainers do the vetting. Buildbots build in a clean room environment, without Internet access.

If you mix up the steps supply chain security is gone.
> But designers can be on auto-pilot too.
You're blaming some people without any basis.
Undo. If it's possible, you want undo. If it's difficult, you still want undo. Only when you've satisfied yourself that it's outright impossible should you reluctantly design the UX with the "Are you sure?" prompt instead.

Also, if you must have I_WANT_CANCER type prompts, try to make them involve expressing what it is that the human is agreeing to, because sometimes it's only at that point the human realises their plan was very stupid. GitHub does that here (you have to type the name of the repo, to delete main_project you'll need to type main_project) but many things do not.

This is why I like Git's force-with-lease. When I try to forcibly overwrite the state, because I know Jim's push was wrong and must be undone, force-with-lease makes me express that, "--force-with-lease=jim-daft-change". And when in fact what I'm going to overwrite is Lisa's urgent bug fix, not Jim's erroneous change, the force-with-lease fails and to get it to apply this way I'd need to say "--force-with-lease=lisa-bug-fix" and that's one last opportunity to say "Wait, what? That's not what I want to do".
I use Reddit long term and /r/all was always bad and you should find your subreddits to care for.
> The default behavior of cargo is to download stuff from the internet.

This is borderline inevitable for most modern development stacks, though .lock files can definitely help, even adding hashes to check against if you care about your dependencies being the same as when you first download/add them to the project and/or inspect the code.

As for worries about the things in those URLs disappearing, in most cases you should be using a proxy repository of some sort, which i've seen leveraged often in enterprise environments - something like JFrog Artifactory or Sonatype Nexus, with repositories either globally, or on a per-project basis.

The problem here is that all of these repositories kind of suck and that the ecosystem around them also does:

- for example, Nexus routinely fails to remove all of the proxied container images and their blobs that are older than a certain date, bloating disk space usage
- when proxying npm, Nexus needs additional reverse proxy configuration, since URL encoded slashes aren't typically allowed
- many popular formats, like Composer (or plenty more niche ones) are only community supported https://help.sonatype.com/repomanager3/nexus-repository-administration/formats (nobody will ever cover *all* of the formats you need, unless you limit yourself to very popular stacks)
- many of the tech stacks that have .lock files may also include URLs to the registry/repository from which they're acquired, so some patching might be necessary
- in technologies like Ruby, actually setting up the proxy isn't as easy as running something like "bundle install --registry=..." as it is in npm
- in other technologies, like Java, you get into the whole SNAPSHOT vs RELEASE issue and even setting up publishing your own packages to something like Nexus can be a bit of work; the lack of proper code libraries for reuse and abundance of code being copy-pasted that i've been being a proof of this in my mind

Of course, i'm mentioning various tech stacks here and i don't doubt that in the long term Rust and other technologies might also address their own individual shortcomings, but my point is that dependency management is just a hard problem in general.

So, for most people the approach that they'll take is to just install stuff from the Internet that other people trust and just hope that the toolchain works as expected, a black box of sorts. I've seen plenty of people just adding packages without auditing 100% of the source code which seems like the inevitable reality when you're just trying to build some software with time/resource constraints.
Right, great example. I think 'understand the situation' refers to this. I imagine the Rust for Linux developers would be going through any dependencies they pull in with a fine comb, in this case a dependency that pulls in HTTPS libraries for presumably no reason should be rejected. If that particular dependency makes it into the kernel, well, then you can start complaining about it. But right now feels a bit premature.
I wouldn't phrase my concerns that way, but it is concerning that Rust doesn't do LTS releases (someone correct me if I missed something here).

Because C compilers, make, etc. are really stable, existing Linux source tarballs have a habit of building fine for decades after initial release.
And mine is that you can't tell much from that anecdote. The failing startup might be failing for any number of reasons. There are counterpoints of fully remote startups that have worked out well. So basically, it's just noise. There isn't even an attempt made at explaining why is working remotely the problem, they might not be suited to it, or that they tried before being ready for it as OP stated.
They are free to do whatever, but unless they had some data to suggest a genetic component, Hitler was just the right (wrong?) person at the wrong time.
>LOL, the American oligarchs aren't much better. Just because they use a different word (lobbying instead of bribing) doesn't make it any less of a corrupt system.

At least in the US, via lobbying, the bribes are transparent and you can follow the money and see who's pulling the strings.

This is much better than everything being done under the table and assuming there is no corruption because we don't have lobbying, like the classical misconception we have in Europe.
You use packages from a well known Linux distribution.

I think in that sentence, the scary part is not the nuclear reactor part. And my understanding is nuclear plant design includes consideration of missile impacts.

Lessons learned... for GitHub to take.
From the (quick) search I did following your un-sourced claim : the Hindu castes system existed centuries before the arrival of the British in India.
And are you claiming one could have been born a Dalit and become a Brahmin (or whatever the "non-british" castes names you want to give them) during his lifetime? I highly doubt it ever was as casual as you make it sound...

It seems this claim is somewhat popular in some indian circles, judging from this quick search.
One can't praise a millenary culture and at the same time claim it can be reshaped totally from a short colonial period.
> I don't get the urge

I don’t get what you don’t get. Engaging one’s brain is the best way to understand the shape of a problem.

And yes, that involves asking “basic” questions.

This ciding you do here assumes bad faith from the person asking the question. Some people ask questions because they want to know the answer, not to demonstrate how much better they are than a whole field or whatever you are assuming here.

> Like, how likely do you really think it is that the reason they haven't figured it out

Who cares how likely is it? Are we only allowed to ask questions which have not been studied before?

If it has been studied before: great! It is much more likely one can just read answers in their paper.
Genuinely wondering, why specifically do you need x86? Some legacy software? Is the compatibility layer not working (Rosetta or how is it called?)?

It has already stopped. I studied engineering physics in Sweden which during the cold war had a very extensive nuclear weapons and energy research program. [1]

I did the required undergraduate nuclear physics course which at the time was focused on nuclear energy. At the time a very surface level course due to being reduced in size over the years in favor or atomic and quantum physics instead.

I still have Introductory Nuclear Physics [2] sitting in my bookshelf because I never had the chance to sell it, the course was changed to be centered around particle accelerators instead.

That program used to be the prime source of people going into nuclear energy research and development. Today you can't even take it as an master, it died out due to everyone seeing it as a dead end career wise with the advent of renewables.

Firstly, the claim that Russia is actually doing actual "denazification" is such obvious rubbish that no sentient informed person should come close to believing it.

What they do is far more informative than what they say. What they say also includes Mr Putin's frankly unhinged speeches calling for more Russian Lebensraum.

Second, the point of such disinformation is not necessarily to make everyone believe this story, but to muddy that waters so much that people are no longer sure where the truth lies, they either fall back to the "well, there must be truth on both sides" or just give up on ever finding out the truth.

Thus, this kind of disinformation does not need to even be self-consistent or even that believable. But it does need to be relentlessly sent out.

There you said it. With the office being a fixed expense, budget is formed around it, since you “just need it”. While the trips and conferences are always discretionary expenses, and as such will not be made if they could be not made.

The ABC is underfunded and under attack from the government.

Even if they do have software issues I wouldn't be publicly running attacks against them cause it would just give the government more reason to cut their funding more.

Likely the developers at the ABC are doing the best they can with the limited resources they have, and deserve our support rather than doing the Internet mob attack thing.

This is still fairly short sighted. Websites shut down, large websites with big storage demands are especially vulnerable to attrition. Who wants to pay the mounting bill for keeping decades of revisions of historical rust packages online?

I can grab the kernel sources from 1997 and build them today. Will I be able to build rust code from 2022 in 2047, because the 1997 kernel will still build at that date.
I recently bought a TV and faced exactly this. Basically, I use my TV for two things: a RPi with Kodi (LibreELEC) from which I do all my 'watching' and a Nintendo Switch. Both of those devices are connected via wifi. There is no reason whatsoever to have my TV do anything else than 'be a screen' and connect to my soundbar - yet it was nearly impossible to get a dumb tv anywhere where I live (Belgium) without paying ridiculous extra costs.

Ended up buying a Samsung QLed (marketing bling) TV that I never connected to my network. Switching between input devices requires 6 buttons presses (!) because it keeps nagging to connect the TV to the internet.
Over time I’m starting to dislike threaded comments. I kind of wish everything was a single thread with numbers and people could reply to specific numbered comments.

Then if you’d like you could just view said thread as a tree but it’s still a single threaded comment thread.

My problem with trees is that unless expanded and then flattened finding the newest relevant comments is more trouble than it’s worth.
