I went three indirections down and I still can't find any actual quotes or even summaries of concrete proposals, so I'm surprised how many people can confidently judge that these unexplained proposals are a dumpster fire solely on the basis that they aim to precent child sexual abuse material...

The most specific thing I found was a linked document that laid out three possible legislation options, all in very loose language, of which one was an entirely voluntary system.

I'm still having trouble finding any sort of indication that there's a law on the books that prohibits travelers from bringing whatever sunscreen they want into the state via air (or boat, I suppose). Nothing on banning possession either. Do you have a source?

Best I can find is that Hawaii prohibits the sale of sunscreens containing oxybenzone or octinoxate, which took effect in 2021.

There's usually two different things going on in UK bell towers - bell ringing which involves ringing the bells full-circle using the internal clappers, and clock chiming which uses external hammers driven my the clock. The clock chiming is much quieter than change ringing.

Ours only chimes on the hour but it's going 24/7 and is very close to the surrounding houses (~40m) some of which are uphill and directly in line with the bells. I had to go in today to fettle it as it wasn't chiming and someone had posted on the village FB group that they were missing it. That's a fairly regular occurrence, most people people like hearing them, even through the night. Any complaints we get are when the clock stops.

It is possible to modify clocks to stop them chiming overnight, although ours is still in its entirely mechanical 1883 form, including me having to wind it every week.
Go has an advantage in the niche cases where you can get away with value types. But that is a very rare use case, reminiscent of embedded programs. You almost always need heap allocations, especially for long running, large apps — and Java has the state of the art GC implementation on both throughput and low-latency front.
I am not convinced that there is any natural talent involved in being a good network engineer.

For some the issue so sensitive that even a broad and impersonal question is hugely offensive. And negative intent is immediately assumed of the questioner.
I was definitely one of those students in high school.

To this day, there's a flash game I downloaded from some random site (Japanese/Chinese/Korean, I honestly don't remember) that was sort of like a javelin toss contest, only instead it involved seeing how far you could launch a male student after hitting him with a bike. There were various anime helper summons that could give him an additional push if his momentum was starting to run out. I put an insane amount of time into that game back in the day, but since it was in a foreign language I didn't know the title and could never track it down. Plus whatever flash-drive/laptop I had it saved onto from 2006 has long since bit the dust.
are you referring to the NRA or the ACLU here?

Is a woman a transphobe for not wanting to share a jail cell with a person who has a penis? I think most people would consider safeguarding female prisoners from males common sense.

I think you should take a moment to consider the (female) women in this situation. Imagine you're a woman 100% at the mercy of the state, and the state locks you in a cell with a male person. Put yourself in their shoes, and try to extend some empathy to them.
I would think you could identify them by looking at their booking photos as well.

There's quite a bit wrong with this idea that "It's using SSL [therefore it's safe]", assuming your meaning there.

The most obvious case: someone compromises the installation script on the actual real deno server. Right now the webserver there is returning an HTTP/307 to an HTTP/302 to the "current" installation script file. Any compromise of the webserver makes this very dangerous.

Contrast that with proper signed packages, code signed sources, etc. There it requires compromise of the developer's systems and signing keys, which at least can be a far harder thing to attack if they're doing things securely.
> To the point where I think a national committee ought to validate every single surveillance request, not even a local judge.

Which wouldn’t make it mass-surveillance.

The problem is when the government enforces an infrastructure of mass-surveillance where information about everybody, in their homes, outside, their communication, and so on, is being collected. Regular people like you and I will have zero ability to vet how this information is used. We can’t let the government have this much power over us. The best way to prevent this mass-surveillance is by not allowing this data to be collected in the first place.

Selective surveillance is something different. It’s not logistically possible for your government to selectively surveil everyone the same way they do with the mass-surveillance infrastructures that are being deployed. This logistical limitation is a feature, not a bug.
I guess the follow up question would be why the government transferred biological men to a women's prison, especially if it could be illegal, unethical and make them look bad?
Agreed. History is replete with examples. We might like to think we're more civilized and tolerant, that we've evolved morally since then. But we're still the same humans we've always been.
“In general "male" refers to sex, "men" to gender.”

For the 99% of the world’s population that hasn’t been browbeat into submissivenesses, they are the same.
> more or less a single Postgres database with all our state

oh that’s neat. As a data architect, I like to avoid such issues by never letting it happen in the first place. I love Postie but I’m not a specialist. But why not sharding? Seems like a proper data model in 5Tran’s domain would be intrinsically shard-able by client and you could balance it over multiple instances. Does profiling or analyze expose any low-hanging fruit to pluck off for optimization? Or maybe that’s exactly the question you need an experienced Postgres DBA to ask and answer for you...
Looks like they listen more to engineers, except when doing that can touch their power. Not that surprising: powerful corrupt politicians are of the same kind, no matter their nationality.

Any good cartoonist out there that would make the EU version of this masterpiece?

The Burrows-Wheeler transform, which was the main innovation of bzip2 over gzip, and which this bzip3 retains, is one of the most fascinating algorithms to study: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burrows-Wheeler_transform

It hasn't been used lately because of the computational overhead, but it's interesting and I'm glad that there's still work in this area. For anyone interested in algorithms it's a great one to wrap your head around.
Elon Musk says he would reverse Twitter's permanent Trump ban
Ummmm fact check time! Actually they were never convicted of terrorism so even though they murdered people and bombed government offices they're technically not terrorists. Stop spreading misinformation!
IMO you should never create a new service unless it serves an engineer reason instead of an organizational one. There's a lot of tools to help out monoliths, and a lot of ways to make it easier to shard the monolith as well.

Some services need it, like a backend intake platform of some sort that needs to have radically different performance characteristics than a user facing frontend. But for most services it just does not make a lot of sense to do this.
This is so sad. Every time I boot up Plan9 for fun I'm reminded their remoting solution (drawterm) does graphics just fine (since everything is just files, and graphics is done by writing to a software framebuffer device file).

Sure, it's something you can do with SSH via X11 forwarding since forever, but it seems the ecosystem never quite stuck the landing, and now we're here trying to figure out how to make CLI more like GUI for our own sanity.

Maybe we should give it another shot? It seems Windows is trying to do something similar with WSLg to achieve seamless integration of Linux apps within Windows 11 (using RDP under the hood), what is everyone else doing?
There is a part of me that wants to abandon streaming services and just buy a couple of albums per month based on what I think might be cool. I find myself enjoying music significantly less now I have unlimited access to everything I could ever want. It’s become disposable; just background noise rather than something I’m actively experiencing.

There is also a part of me that wants to take those albums and keep them on an old click-wheel iPod. I always thought the early iPod nanos were among the best consumer hardware devices ever made. Just the right mix of boxy and round; small enough to be novel (at least at the time), but large enough to still be perfectly usable. Unfortunately, finding one that both holds a charge and isn’t battered to all hell is quite difficult these days, and even so, it’s much harder to justify a single use device for music when I literally always have my phone with me.

As someone who was a teen when the iPod really started taking off, it was a constant presence during the time music was starting to become an important part of my life. Sad to see it go, even though really it’s been gone since the iPhone launched.
>Unless you're pre-informed on the issues, whoever presents it to you can just pick the side that gets you to the answer they want.

You don't need to be "pre-informed".

You just need to be skeptical. Some knowledge of history is a good start.
I've been playing with Deno lately and I can assure the author, I'm no connoisseur
I suppose that's why the ACLU didn't want to get involved with the rights violations I reported a couple years ago. I suppose if i had $3.5M it could have been different.
How do you guarantee that their install script is non-malicous and was actually provided by them?

There's a reason why code signing exists as a security measure.
Those videos all sound like things that would be _very_ popular and if we could see it have a very good like to dislike ratio. They would likely be over 99% like vs dislike. If dislikes were still visible, you'd merely just see that your tastes doesn't match what the masses want.

This stuff does very well. It gets good clicks, good watch times, good engagement (likes and comments). Hence why everyone does it and it is what's most recommended.

It does do terribly with a lot of the subcultures that hang out on Hacker News, but we are small in the grand scheme of things.

A better explanation is they changed The Algorithm to try and promote more stuff that is new to you. A common complaint about The Algorithm last year on HN was it tended to recommend the same small set of videos over and over again. Mostly stuff you have seen multiple times before. This was leading to people getting bored with YouTube and going to Netflix or whatnot.

So instead of that, it is now trying to recommend you new stuff. And it is not finding stuff you'll like. What you listed all has a theme of general science topics. Its probably now trying to push the most popular stuff in that category to keep your recommendations from getting stale. The usually means will take care of it (disliking the videos, clicking don't recommend video/channel).
> what happens when BTC does reach 100k? — presumably most will sell including the grifters in Miami, Dubai and so on

LOL – if you think this is true, you don't know anything about greed or emotions. (To be a bit less obscurant, I'm saying they are both either boundless or unquantifiable. There's nothing special about 100K btc, nothing more special than 69K USD BTC.)
this FOIA request arbitrarily mixes sex and gender, which actually does show a lack of understanding towards trans and non-binary people (as well as willingness to understand, materialized as fear. fear is the phobia part of transphobia)

so even though GP tried to be accurate and progressive-enough in their admonishment of the ACLU to find a way to have a rational way of expressing and discussing their fear, the people involved have made a malformed FOIA request and are expressing their calcified opinion conflating sex and gender identity.
I never made any comment about women in prison. I have empathy to anyone in prison. Like I said, its deeply inhumane.

I think people in prison should be protected from other people in prison if they are dangerous, and I think prisons fail to do that today. I don't accept your presumption that having a penis makes someone inherently more dangerous.

Again: if your goal is to protect women in prison, the best way to do that is to advocate for reform that makes prisons safer for everyone. Not by being transphobic, which you're doing instead.
The mobile workstations which use such CPUs have usually also a much higher idle power consumption, not only a much higher peak power consumption, in comparison with low-power laptops.

For example, my laptop is an older Dell Precision mobile workstation, with a Skylake mobile Xeon, 32 GB ECC RAM and an NVIDIA Quadro GPU.

It has an idle power consumption of 25 W (with the screen light being on), which means that even when staying idle the battery would last only 4 hours (with the screen light off the battery would obviously last longer, but the 4 hour limit would be valid e.g. when I would just use the laptop to read documents).

In this Dell mobile workstation, the CPU power limit for infinite time is set to 60 W, even if that laptop CPU has a nominal TDP of 45 W. Unlike in thinner laptops, in such a mobile workstation the CPU can indeed dissipate continuously for an indefinite time 60 W without throttling. Taking into account the power consumption of the remainder of the laptop, when running at 100% CPU utilization, the battery will be drained in less than an hour.

The new Alder Lake i9-12950HX will be used in the new mobile workstations Dell Precision 7670 and Dell Precision 7770.

These might have a lower idle power consumption than my older model, but I doubt that it will be less than 20 W, when also having a discrete NVIDIA GPU and 64 GB RAM.

I expect that the steady-state CPU maximum power consumption will also be higher than the nominal 55 W TDP, maybe at 65 W, while the turbo power consumption of i9-12950HX is 157 W, according to the rumors.

The other mobile workstation vendors, e.g. Lenovo, HP, MSI, will have similar models.
Erlang/Elixir feels like it strikes a middle ground, where every process behaves like one of Kay's objects, including the emphasis on message-passing rather than methods that behave like procedure calls.
The problem with this problem is that there isn't a better alternative.

There's a lot of people in this thread complaining about how the ACLU is ruined because they are no longer free speech absolutists.

That's not why I give, or ever gave them money. I give them money because they solve all sorts of other problems. If the biggest problem in your life is 'the far american right can't speak as loudly as it likes', that's certainly terrible, but it pales in comparison to the harm of all the other civil liberty violations that the ACLU tackles.
So, basically what typographers have known for decades?
I have considered it. Problem is, my employer only allows certain manufacturers due to purchasing and service agreements. Building isn't an option.
Why be pedantic, the point GP is making is obvious.
This means at the level of their ability to draw in candidates, Deno interest is signal to their hiring pipeline of more quality. The consequence is their hiring pool is also that much smaller. One might say the same thing about Java v Go.
Is there an introduction to 2LTT for those with only a basic understanding of type theory?
> that suggests we got OOP wrong, very wrong.

It does, but that's because there are different flavors of OOP. Alan Kay's original take on OO was closer to the actor model than what grew into the mainstream spin on OOP with inheritance and the rest.

If you take 10 steps back and squint, microservices & the actor model start to look pretty similar.

Depends entirely on how the law itself will be phrased. Maybe there is an exception to services below a certain size. But I don't expect the politicians behind this initiative to have matrix on the radar or even understand decentralized chat protocols.
This is the same Steve Jobs that said on stage Samsung's original Galaxy Tab 7" defeated the purpose of a tablet because he needed to file his fingers down to use it.

He knew full well an iPad Mini was coming the year after. He just had to sell what was on the shelves now.

There's still 8P cores, so no the 20-80% load area is not suffering.

> Also, having 8 efficiency cores is just silly, if you just want to run background tasks with minimal power consumption, how do 8 cores lead to that?

Who said efficient cores must only be for low power background tasks? These efficiency cores are small, very small, so Intel can pack a lot of them into the die. And they provide far far bigger returns on multithreaded workloads than SMT does. As in, given a choice between 2 more P cores (so 10P cores total) or these 8 E cores (so 8p+8e), it's a no brainer to go with the 8 E cores. You get larger multithreading returns with a similar die size cost. And the background power efficiency is just a freebie bonus.
from the first paragraph of the article:

> This will require them to monitor and scan the communications of citizens en masse – even if they are still securely encrypted end-to-end so far.

If I had bezos money, I would buy a large swath of arable land, build a large wall around it, and offer 100k so called libertarians to walk in with some supplies. But they couldn't form government. Absolutely no form of mandatory taxation of any kind. And once they went in, they would be committed for five years.

Oh, since we can't have them benefiting from positive outcomes of collective action, we'll pipe in polluted air and river waste to help simulate a truly free market environmental policy.

Not sure what that is but it sounds linux-y. I work on windows and with desktop/graphics intensive development. Even a remote desktop on a low latency network connection in between is painful.
Get a firearm and train with it. Your government prevents you from defending yourself effectively.
Thanks for the answer, but I'm wondering more about the mechanism of how the individuals in the EU Commission would benefit from any kind of misuse of this legislation. I get how surveillance can benefit people (edit: I mean benefit those who surveil), but the people who propose this are not who can exercise this power, am I wrong? I just struggle to understand how would this many people conspire to get more power, especially if the people who have the opportunity to misuse this need to be involved too.
IMO the answer as to why is that Ira Glasser was replaced by Anthony Romero as executive director in 2001, and Romero substantially reoriented the organization.
Leonid Kravchuk, the first President of Ukraine, passed away
You are making the mistake of assuming that those deciding care about facts or public opinion, or can be shamed if shown to behave hypocritically or inconsistently. They simply don't care and will proceed to do as they please, inventing reasoning and interpretation to support whatever outcome they want, regardless of what % of the population disagrees. Tyranny of the minority has arrived.
Super exciting. The question is would the world accept “better than human” results or would it expect 100% accuracy. Airplanes have been self piloting for years now. But pilots are still required by law
