X11 API without an X server is a super cool concept. I followed the forum thread after OSnews reported on it late last year https://www.osnews.com/story/134362/xlibe-an-xlib-x11-compat... and your progress has been really exciting to watch. It's a great project. When Haiku got a Qt port it made a massive difference in software availability and this will too.

GTK will always owner-draw its buttons, so you don't get a real native Be widget. And it's clearly possible to do a good-enough X server integration as demonstrated by WSL, Quartz etc with minor complaints about clipboard syncing, decorations, having to run another daemon etc. After all that, what would you say is the main benefit to this approach?

This resonates w/me. When I read a book, I tend to remember at least something from it for years or even decades. As for blog posts or YouTube videos, most of them I forget by the next day. They seem to carry lots and lots of information, but give very little knowledge.

Yes, but not in general shortages of doctors. It's a totally different problem, so this isn't really a helpful way to look at it. After all, if there's a shortage of cabbages, it doesn't mean the remaining cabbages benefit and can lobby to keep it that way!

That conclusion would be fallacious, although many on both sides believe it. For one it ignores both growth potential and relative costs. High productivity workers can and do utterly dominate in ways which more than make up for it. And miserable employees are mercurial in quality at best relative to happy and motivated ones.

I recall hearing about one desert conflict "gratuitous" allocation of several times the prior typical water per day resulted in outsized military performance. I think it may have been the Six Day War. But Silicon Valley is basically the exemplar of that business model as they specifically go with a very high COL area in the world's richest country instead of mass outsourcing. Even assuming that the actor is a heartless and selfish bastard what truly matters first is net profit.

It is the same fallacious false economy seen both among slaveowners and the Soviet Union. That the labor is free or already paid for so don't worry about its efficiency.

I will happily pay my local equivalent of £30 each year to not have to wait for every device I use to start from a cold boot every time I want to use it. My TV takes ~2 minutes to be usable after booting, I use that every single day more or less - if I wait for a cold boot each time that's HOURS of time lost every year.

Not to mention things like games consoles which update themselves and their installed software while in standby mode - that's more hours of time saved. All for the low low price of £30pa.

Realistically I could buy smart plugs or ones with a timer, but that's more cost (probably more than £30), more complexity, and they'll probably cause at least one ungraceful shutdown which I'd rather not have to deal with. And the last thing I want is more discount IoT garbage using my internet to participate in a DDoS because the now bankrupt manufacturer left telnet on and forgot to change the password from "admin/admin".
Facebook knew the Myanmar genocide was being orchestrated via ads on their platform. This wasn't even people posting and sharing, Facebook was accepting money in exchange for boosting content that promoted genocide. And they were told about it plenty of times without doing anything.
Any govt office, focusing on the US here, seems to have a huge back log and understaffed like the IRS, Immigration services, DMV etc. For e.g. earliest appointment I can get is perhaps a month or two out. A huge backlog and understaffed makes a case of overworked employees. Surely, they are doing work, and so I can only think that by "they do too little useful work", you mean that the work itself that they do is of little use. Are they? Seems like getting my driver's license or tax refund is pretty useful, no?

But you haven't been describing policies implemented by the powers that be, you've been describing people's opinions. Of course people differ on definitions of a term with political implications. I've seen plenty of people on the right accuse 100% of "the left" of being racist. Every side has its extremists.

Do you believe Twitter has been that inconsistent with their policies?
People looking at a timeline for a couple minutes a day isn't going to cut it for facebook. They need hours of scrolling every day to hit their engagement numbers.

I don't know about Germany, in France it is considered something equivalent of racist or discriminatory to ask people for personal information like this. I'd personally rather see that approach migrate to North America so we can stop making everything about race. I don't think I'm saying anything new when I say that all the recent race focus had had exactly the opposite effect of ending discrimination, and has rolled back 100+ years of progress towards "color blind" equality where everyone is judged on their merits. It will be a real shame if europe buys in to this American nonsense. France is pretty strong minded and as a country thinks a lot more critically about political things, I'm cautiously optimistic that the people wouldn't go in for this.
EgyptAir flight MS804 fatal crash caused by pilot's cigarette
True, but this is making the assumption that whatever pointer offsets, shifting, and masking that you have in your method, to extract the 9th bit in the 5th word of a 512 bit struct, will result in the same operations as the simple struct access. It very well could be so (certainly for some architectures, most likely not for others), but I don't think all this complication is justified when a struct is available, especially if you're someone writing code for hardware, where these concepts are more known/less scary.
You can just fine. The nay-sayers are, frankly, just repeating old-wives tales for the most part.

I've been running my own mail server from a VPS (vpsdime) for somewhere around 6-7 years now and the only issues I've had were related to general sysadmining headaches.

Postfix+dovecot(+mysql) setup, SPF/DKIM/DMARC and reverse-pointer record set. Both microsoft and gmail happily accept my emails and give them all the little checkmarks. Checked just a few weeks ago as I added an new domain.

This question is actually pretty insightful from an investing perspective. What is "wokeness" (whatever you want to call it) doing to the bottom line and investor confidence in companies that are distracted from their real mission. Maybe there are cases where it's a competitive advantage (google and Facebook giving sinecures to smart people so they don't compete with them) but in most cases it's got to be a drag on corporate and stock performance

Not only that, but global warming was an already known problem at the time CFCs and ozone were being solved.
This sounds interesting, would love to read more if you've got a webpage for the project yet
I have a huge gripe with the phenomenon being talked about in the article.

First comes the idea that you can't make health decisions yourself, or treat yourself for health problems. Got a back ache? See (read: pay) a doctor. Got a wart on your toe? Got a sunburn? Go pay a professional for their services, this is the only solution.

Adding to this is the lawsuit addled consumer climate of our society. Best not give anyone any sort of information about anything, lest they sue you for it.

I actually googled a question and an article I read told me to talk to my healthcare team. Team? Each of us has to have an army of highly paid professionals to figure out why our head itches?

You can't google anything health related anymore and actually get information about it. You get a little walkthrough of possible causes of anything followed by a "see your doctor." I just want to know what exercises to do to relieve back pain.

Taking care of yourself shouldn't require you to visit a specialist for anything other than extreme circumstances. The information on how to take care of yourself is available online, hidden behind marketing funnels. Used to be I'd find a bunch of crystal healing blogs and the like, and I'd bitch about it, now I'm wishing for them back because in between the bullshit they're more helpful than being told to pay someone to (maybe) tell me.
At Mercury (banking stack for startups) we plan to add WebAuthn as a second factor. This allows Yubikey, TouchID and many other compatible authenticators.
The main evil of UTF-16 is that it's usually not UTF-16, it's UCS-2, which is to say, a fixed-width format which has been shoehorned into a varible-width format to support non-BMP code points. As a consequence, systems that are built on "UTF-16" (i.e., really UCS-2) use designs centered around the ability to random-access Unicode strings despite the fact that doing so reliably isn't possible.

> ASCII compatibility is an anti-feature.

Actually, it's not. One of the main reasons it's important is...

> What we need is text encoding agnosticism

... that bit that you want. If you're supporting multiple encodings, you need a reliable way of signalling that encoding. And file metadata tends to be insufficiently reliable, so it ends up being in-band for text (e.g., HTML files). If all the encodings you need to support are ASCII-compatible, and the directive to set the charset is itself pure ASCII, that means it is perfectly safe to parse the file as ASCII to figure out how to parse the file. If the charset isn't ASCII-compatible... well, that historically has led to security vulnerabilities. Ergo, a non-ASCII-compatible charset has heightened security risks.

That said, my own experience when dealing with the mess that is charsets is that supporting multiple charsets is itself a painful process that isn't worth it.

You could do something similar with aquaponics as well. Plants eat the fish excrement, and the fish eat something that lives on waste like roaches or crickets. Maybe even some kind of shrimp, if you can get enough sunlight for a lot of algae.

It does require electricity, although you could maybe get around that by having rain catchers up high to create a natural gradient and supplementing that by manually pumping water up into the reservoirs.
The mandate should be to use electric heat pumps, not use electric heating. In Sweden they switched from oil to electric as “nuclear will be to cheap to meter”. Eventually sanity prevailed and heatpumps became the norm.
They would be worse off in the same sense that a child who doesn't get to eat cookies for dinner is worse off: they didn't get a thing that they really wanted. And in the same way, a child isn't harmed by denying them cookies for dinner.
> 2018, Cambridge Analytica

This is the big one, and it was a bona fide scandal.

That said it happened in 2016, the story broke in 2018. Cambridge Analytica was very clearly the bad actor here, they took advantage of a too-permissive FB API that was patched.

Facebook was rightly fined for negligence.

> 2020, Facebook announced it won't fact-check political ads

This is not a scandal lol.

Ad platforms are under no obligation to fact-check political ads. Quite the opposite - federal law prohibits television broadcasters from refusing to run an ad from from a qualified political candidate for any reason!

Google does not fact check any ads. Remember those insane Tai Lopez Youtube ads?

> 2020, ex-Facebook data scientist Sophie Zhang revealed inner practices profiting from political disinformation and manipulation.

I hadn't heard of this one. From Wikipedia:

>>> Zhang reported that most of these subversive networks use Facebook's organization pages, configured with human names and photographs to mimic human accounts in order to successfully evade Facebook's emerging efforts to counter fake users.

She was on a team dedicated to stopping stuff like this, and she reported that people were figuring out ways around their automation? That's the point of the team! Staying ahead of bad actors!

> 2021, ex-Facebook employee Frances Haugen leaks documents revealing unethical business practices for profit.

Lots of allegations here, no legal consequences (unlike Cambridge Analytica which resulted in billions in fines). Similar to the Zhang story, the whole claim is "Facebook should be doing more than it already does to combat the bad actions of others" not "Facebook is actively doing bad stuff."

From Wikipedia:

>>> Haugen told The Guardian she was motivated to focus her work at Facebook on addressing misinformation because of her experience with losing a friend... after the friend visited online forums and became a proponent of conspiratorial beliefs that included white nationalism and the occult.

>>> In December 2021, Little, Brown & Company announced a book deal with Haugen for her memoir... After leaving Facebook, Haugen relocated to Puerto Rico, and has invested in a cryptocurrency company.

Do with that info what you will.
For I/O, concurrency, fault tolerance, and distribution it really doesn't get better than the BEAM, but when problems get CPU intensive you can't beat C/C++/Rust. So this idea of using pre-compiled Rust NIFs from Elixir is a huge deal because it means you can have the best of both worlds in many scenarios.

You really are failing to get this!

Testing formally-correct code can only ever find bugs in the exact compiler release and physical CPU chip you run the test on.

The bugs cited show up in various compiler releases and various chip steppings. Unless your code will only ever run on that exact machine, you have not tested it.
Or you could use a sane, unambiguous date format regardless of where you are in the world like 22 Feb 2022.

This makes the incorrect assumption that OpenAI is only training the model on GitHub repositories. GitHub is just one source. In reality if the code is crawlable on the open web it is probably going into the model.
Just because code is released as open source doesn't mean you have any obligation to deal with feedback or PR's. You can throw it on a git hosting site and forget about it. You could gzip the entire source directory and throw it into an s3 bucket. You could burn it onto a CD and have it be available by mail-in request only with a fee for shipping.

> Expecting software to be open source is nice when there is an army of 10s of thousands of FAANG employees to constantly keep it up to date, but less so when there's limited people.

And being closed source makes keeping software up to date easier?

The website is asking for "legislation requiring that publicly financed software developed for the public sector be made publicly available under a Free and Open Source Software licence." So in response to your example of a company bidding lower for closed-source rights, you would just deny the illegal request. Same as if a company offering to construct a bridge was undercutting other contractors on the condition they be allowed to ignore certain expensive safety requirements.
I share the sentiment, and think we’re not ok.

We’d all be happier if we just gave up on all our hopes, but I also feel it’s important to keep acknowledging shitty things are still shitty.
