the data doesn't seem to show this:

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/public-spending-sta...

spending on social protection and health have been going up like crazy. almost 500 billion gbp in a single year on those two alone.

spending as a whole has been going up, now accounting for 51% of GDP.

> Close to 10% of the entire country are currently on an NHS waiting list

covid

> Meanwhile, the tax burden in the UK has reached it's highest point in 70 years

covid + nhs.

While the pandemic was an extraordinary expense that has to be paid back, there is no easy solution for the NHS. People are living longer and longer, and the required pot of money for running the NHS is getting bigger and bigger. Something will need to change, and I think it will be more private healthcare.
To distinguish between an instance and a namespace?

The same can be said for why do we need to put parenthesis after functions that take no parameters? So people still know it's a function.
> They are, that's the moment you see how the person code when she/he is responsible

There is no responsibility in small side projects. I write better code during my day job because I know other people will eventually have to interact with it.
We don't have a complete model of living creatures so we can't perfectly simulate the creature-substance interaction.

Many personal care products that advertise they are not tested on animals simply use conservative choices of ingredients that are believed to be safe.

Some people have it worse than me but many personal care products that are allegedly safe cause me to break out in hives.
They wouldn’t even blink twice when they take your dog away. When I returned to HK in January, the entire experience was so dehumanising. You’re literally treated like cattle, from the moment you get off the plane, you’re just following a long queue, going through different station, and end up waiting for hours without anyone telling you what’s going on.

Everyone on my flight ended up waiting for over 12 hours i the airport, because people tested positive. Not a single person came to explain what was going on, it took several passengers shouting at staff to get bits of information. I saw a woman with kids break down in tears because she too had been there for over 12 hours.

Don’t even get me started on the two week quarantine, I felt like I was treater as a prisoner. I’ve lived here long enough to not expect decent customer service, but it wasn’t my choice to be locked up for two weeks, the least staff can do is treat people nicer.
> Agreed that centrists (or more precisely, “moderate Democrats”) are more aligned to Clinton/Obama wing, but the idea that Clinton/Obama are the identitarians rather than the progressive wing (Warren, AOC, Pressley, Tlaib, Omar, etc) is beyond belief.

> Clinton and Obama might’ve capitalized on their identities in pandering to the progressive wing

If you look at where Hillary Clinton’s support was vs. Bernie’s , Bernie’s was on the economic left, Clinton’s was with all the identity-politics factions. (Not just what is predictable by “exploiting her identity” as straigh cisgender heterosexual white woman.)

It can be confusing, because there is also a leftist/progressive identity politics which is highly intersectional and also highly integrated with class politics, but the dominant neoliberal wing of the Democratic Party has long been deeply dependent on the very different bourgeois identity politics which rejects the class struggle, as what distinguishes them from the more moderate fringes of the Republican Right (this was especially true during the period of the neoliberal consensus, less so since Trump replaced corporate capitalism with a side order of culture war social politics to energize the base with White nationalist culture war populism as the center of the Republican Party.)

> Do you think Warren, AOC, Omar, etc are really “moderate Democrats” or do you disagree that they are committed identitarians?

I think all of them (even Warren, who remains overtly pro-capitalist and is more centrist than the others) center economic/class issues more than identity politics, and all but Warren do so fairly explicitly because the kind of identity politics they engage in are precisely the progressive/left kind, not the bourgeios kind.
Intel Core I7-12700K, Core I5-12600K Review: High Performance for the Mid-Range
I knew a pet shop in the US in the 90’s whose primary business was moving large quantities of weed around (bagged in the bottom of barrels of fish), so yeah, not impossible.
>My i7 12700k idles ~21c, and much like the M1 series

Yea, but unlike the M1 series, you probably have a big hunk of copper on top of your CPU. It really isn't a fair comparison. Intel needs a miracle. Actually, we all need a miracle, because Apple just changed the whole industry and I really hope they get some competition.
Real name policy just leads to threats. I'd rather the place be toxic than exposing people who want to speak up.
I’ve been under general anaesthesia four times and I felt absolutely awful all but one of those times. The dosage in the most recent one was so perfect that I actually remember every moment after waking up from surgery, and I was awake enough to thank the anaesthetist for having a light touch.

It really is a crapshoot and/or an art. It’s not surprising that people are having long term cognitive complications from having our brains forcefully shut down.
I feel like digital cables is a fundamentally backwards-idea for audio devices. Audio is analog and if you're going to be using digital cables, you'll just need to add a bunch of DACs in the chain.

You'll have to file a bug report, because none of the built-in LSP stuff should cause any performance degradation.

This has nothing to do with LSP.

NCSA Delta Supercomputer Adopts Slingshot but Forgoes Cray “Shasta” Design
That simply isn't true. I'd love an example of how yourself or other you follow are censored. I'm deeply familiar with the platform and have not witnessed censorship outside of threats and direct hate speech, as well as extreme disinformation campaigns (ie Trump).

(Of course you'll be able to find a bunch of death threats from random accounts all over, I could find a handful in a few minutes, but that's largely outside of anyone's control.)

I doubt this is a leak, it very much sounds like Apple is using QUIC to connect home and make the API work.

Not respecting the system firewall does seem like a flaw, but Apple has had a history of bypassing attempts at filtering network traffic. Firewalls have been blocked from working and Apple services have been made unblockable in later APIs. I'm not surprised in the slightest that Apple also bypasses your VPN to call home.

I don't know if this is a problem, though. If you buy Apple, you let Apple make the decisions for you, that's how the entire ecosystem is designed. You must trust Apple unconditionally and accept traffic sent home to adhere to their privacy settings, or you should not run macOS at all. Try to run Windows or Linux on it if you've bought your computer for the hardware quality, though the M1 makes that nearly impossible without sacrificing user experience.
Maintaining that list is extremely tedious work and pushing that down to the individual user just drives people away. Users don't want to constantly filter and block an ever growing list of spam, bot, and troll accounts. Parlor/Gab/et al essentially tried this "let the users block" method and it failed practically immediately and they've all instituted some sort of content moderation or just disappeared.
I agree with the overall sentiment. I'm sad that I'm now down to 1 medium article left this month. Damn those disguised domains!

It's true that we're always learning more each day. There are always was we could refactor things, better ways to document the decision process we used to get to the code we ended up with, etc.

I'm particularly pleased with the power of git blame in this regard, as an aside.
Thanks for the notes. I've fixed most of those in the app but forgot to update the screenshots.
As for the odd times for San Fran, that is strange I completely overlooked it. I'll check that out.

For the 24 hour clock, I tried to show both 12 and 24 hour for this reason. Maybe I forgot to update the screenshots for this too. I just need to redo those screenshots I suppose.

Thanks!
Not sure about emissions due to these events but I'm concerned about carbon footprint. If it's significant and these fairs have little purpose then they don't really justify their impact.
Why don't you do something like consolidate any posts made within one week to one post? Some have suggested a blog-like digest that gets posted once a week. Why not do something like what you're doing but make it one long post with multiple updates (maybe with timestamps)

Say I post something about my weekend on Monday, it could be important about the loss of a family member or the birth of a child. Maybe I don't want to wait a number of days for that to appear on someone's feed...

But I could also post something new later that week. If it was consolidated into a weekly post it'd end up more like a digest at the end, and someone logging into the social network on Friday would see everything that happened to me so far that week.

It's a play on some of the ideas others have had, but the trick is timing. If my posts are digested to a weekly summary, it's going to reduce incentives for anyone to log in and use the platform on any day but "post day". Additionally if I'm free on Friday to spend time on there, but your new digest won't be posted until Saturday, I'm going to miss everything that's happened to you all week.

Question: is it easier to implement a language that has manual memory management or a GC, or does it not really make a difference these days?
Yeah, it's easier to ignore racist tirades and death threats when they come from xX_BonerLord420_Xx. Frankly I'd enjoy a platform that outright banned the use or disclosure of real names.
So essentially, PHP 9.0 is a different language, and not compatible with the vast majority of PHP applications out in the wild.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it does mean that a lot of applications are going to be stuck on old versions.

For my part... I think this will make me fully abandon PHP and just rewrite old apps in other languages, like Go and Rust.
I meant to write every global property due to Rice’s theorem.

And I don’t believe my claim is unsupported, the largest formally verified program is the mentioned sel4, which is still tiny compared to even the smallest of business apps and was written by domain experts over multiple years.

Restricting a problem to a subset is like the numero uno step to solve any hard problem - and this is what rust basically mandate. It won’t provide bug-free programs, but it can reliably prove the absence of memory bugs and data races due to the borrow checker, which can do its work on function-scope, since all the relevant information is encoded in the function’s generic lifetime arguments.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month is a classic for a reason, on this exact topic.
You seem to have a misconception, or lacking conception, of how companies are built and operate: it's a series of small decisions, like attracting and then hiring amazing, competent, and passionate people to do tasks that the company requires - and then different functions run autonomously (without you) - so then you can move onto the next decisions to be made or be focusing on putting out "fires" if that's what urgently and critically demands your time.

If Elon owns Twitter he will attract very quality people, and he will pay them well, reward them well, and then they will be the ones doing most of the work to actually run Twitter.
I believe there's a middle ground that doesn't involve the forced adoption of a single subjective viewpoint of "correctness", while preserving the benefits of moderation to whoever desires it. I refer to the following approach as "moderation lenses", although it's certainly been thought of before under some other name.

"Moderation lenses" would operate as follows:

Any person or entity can be a moderator. Moderation could be done manually or in an automated fashion, it doesn't really matter. Users would be able to opt-in (and later opt-out) of whatever set of lenses they want. The lenses they opt-in to would affect what posts they are able to see.

Online communities (for example, a subreddit), could have a default set of lenses applied to newly-joined users, but as with any other lens, they would be removable by the user. One would imagine that most users would leave a "spam" lens in place.

Governments would be able to produce their own lenses for things such as "misinformation", "hate speech", or whatever the evil-of-the-day happens to be. And if people want a government filtering what they see, they can add those lenses. And if they don't, they don't.

Human opinion is inherently subjective, and agreeing on what is "correct" or "appropriate" across large groups of people is rarely possible. Trying to impose a single viewpoint of "correct" across millions of people is laughable.
I agree with you overall but going after statistics as the problem is a flawed way to make that point. If you commute to work on the road you're taking accumulated risks equal to many surgeries, and if you aren't making those decisions based on statistics you're making them based on what people around you consider normal. 1% risk that everybody takes is just as dangerous as one only taken by yourself.
You are giving twitter far too much credit. 206m users, most of them bots, trolls, and spam accounts. For American politics, it represents the two polar extremes of our electoral base. Twitter is not what it used to be anymore, and all the "moderation" has a big part of it. Elon has a long journey ahead if he wants the platform to have the same influence it once did.
>how slow would a person’s thought processes have to be if they had to spell everything out in internal monologues?

The verbalized "thoughts" come after the fact. They thought already exists and then you put it into words to yourself. The verbalization can be confused for thinking.
> Optimize work distribution
> Managers have a portfolio of work that the business needs and people with work preferences. Optimize the dual objectives of delivering value to the organization and giving individuals problems that build their skillset, impact, satisfaction, and/or advancement. Performance is contextual; set people up to shine.

I find this so important. A good manager has a good mental map of the business's short-term and long-term goals, and a corresponding map of each person on the team's short-term and long-term goals (and strengths/weaknesses) . This map requires constant updating and refining. The magic happens in finding the right fit between all of that.
> People just got tricked in to doing this because Facebook was centered around connecting people at college, where you interact with people in real life. It was obsolete and an aberration the moment Facebook decided to open up to the wider world.

This still burns me up. I only signed up for that reason, and it seemed like a great idea, limiting it to people with institutional .edu emails so it was like a modern interactive yearbook. Then overnight it was something else. Like that old commercial for roach traps where they think they're settling down in a nice comfortable living room and then suddenly it's revealed they're trapped and are being poisoned.
Enforcing a real-name policy means the only users you'll have is:

1. People whose opinions are perfectly in-line with the corporate-backed, advertiser-friendly status quo, further cementing such ideas as the status quo

2. Maniacs who have nothing to lose, and/or want to be seen as a martyr

All of the reasonable people will just not use the site cause they don't want to risk stepping out of line and having aforementioned maniacs harassing you/contacting your employer/etc
No, the old tenet of the internet was "if you don't like something, don't subscribe to it". Usenet, Web 1.0 forums, news feeds, email lists didn't have block features; if you wanted to see something, you subscribed to it. If you didn't, unsubscribe. Even if someone on a mailing list was shit, you didn't (and couldn't) block them, you'd either filter out their messages or bail.

That's the actual problem with algorithmic feeds; they want to find ways to put things you don't subscribe to into the your view and the views of people you follow. You can't opt in to the content you see. Even if you studiously avoid algorithmic feeds, the people you follow won't, and they'll share that content onto your feed anyway. Even if you and the people you follow avoid them, nothing's stopping the algorithm from putting you into others' view and effectively inviting them into your feed.

Thus blocking/muting going from being primarily a self-moderation tool against abuse, to a necessity to stop the endless stream of algorithmic content and commentary coming from people you don't subscribe to, or who don't subscribe to you.
There is a body of research on the topic already, so if you're truly skeptical it might be worth reading into it some more. I think you're being a bit unempathetic, in that you're unable to consider that anyone thinks any differently to you. If you really must in order to accept it, consider it a defect, just like some people can't remember faces, some people have no long-term memory, some people can't recognize letters or numbers, so on and so forth. It shouldn't be so hard to believe that our brains, as complex and unknown as they are, might perform differently. There are billions of brains, some of them are probably going to be wired weirdly.
Tape storage is anything but dead, it's going from strength to strength
I tend to agree. I've seen things turn bad on my feed pretty quickly, so you have to really take an active role in unfollowing / delisting content you don't want for the algorithm to work.
Could be money-laundering, could be something else. Whatever they are, they are no coincidence.
Ah yes, a platform where one can recede even further into one's own echo chamber! Surely that is the solution to our problems.
I have seen this with dual nationals by birth in Japan -- both Japanese and something else. By law, they are required to make a choice at age 20. However, the "by law" part is very hard to enforce if their parents registered for nationality in the non-Japan country after applying for nationality in Japan.

The big one that I can think of is triggering our "packaging" pipelines. We have some packages published separately from our main releases (which are not published via CI), so we have to trigger separate pipelines for them. We could _probably_ have some kind of filter based on directories, and honestly I'm not sure why we don't (probably so it's deliberate).

Anyway, hope that answers your question :)
I find Twitter a generally enjoyable place. I mostly engage with local New Yorkers about YIMBY/transportation alternatives subjects, and then recently, with subject matter experts about the Russian-Ukraine War. Twitter is generally by far the best news source I've found; you'll hear about things way before it hits the major network. Admittedly it does require a more discriminating approach.
There are many such landmarks in Paris: the Eiffel tower (Exposition Universelle 1889), Grand Palais and Petit Palais (1900 Expo), Chaillot palace (1937 Expo).
This is another problem.

For this purpose, you only need to show authorship, which is different from ownership rights.

In general, your employer can't stop you there. Some exceptions would be if it conflicts with their products or if you disclose technological knowledge that could jeopardize competitive advantage.
Thanks for the links!

Kibana looks interesting but also like a lot of overhead to learn and handle.

datadog also is interesting, although it looks like it's more tailored to watch the operation side of things, like infrastructure.

I've looked around and probably MongoDB Atlas Charts might be something. Not totally sure, but I'll give it a try with some sample data.

What about tape?

Tape cartridges are high volume, inexpensive and the drives can be found on eBay or similar for under $200.

They don't do random access in any sort of reasonable time, but can be great for archival work.

Also, isn't there at least thirty years of development roadmap on the books for tape?

Tesla went from a company who had never manufactures anything in large quantity, 5 years later they are seriously comparing to VW a company that has been a globally dominate automaker for decades.

So look at Tesla in 2017 and say 'Musk is an idiot he thinks he can automate production' and then look at how Tesla produces cars in 2022 and tell me he is an idiot.
Honest question to you and anyone reading:

Is Trump a non-extremist?
I see. I was still thinking in the context of how that would apply to Twitter/Musk. Don’t think it makes a difference and Peterson is on Twitter now anyway.
Indeed - if he brings back neutrality to their “content moderation” I would even be willing to pay, especially if it came with extra tools to filter out the bots and other nuisance content - i.e. pay for the blue checkmark and be able to restrict my feed to only other blue checkmarks. Or whatever they pick to delineate those who pay.

Paywalls are the most effective way to screen out bots and frivolous bullshit.
You don't need ownership here, just authorship.
