You believe in fairy tales if you think that China-Russia trade matters at all.

Russia is below 2% of Chinese trade and decreasing. Netherlands, 10 million people country matters more for Chinese trade than Russia.

China only wants Russia to sold cheap raw resources, and will squeeze them until they fold like Iran. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93China_25-year_Coo...

Being a net importer is great. Net exporters sell their goods, getting way less than they produced and sold. What happens with your foreign currency reserves in times of high inflation like now? They rapidly devalue.
> they just stopped giving the loot back to the Empire.

And they were not under the control of the empire.

Freelancers were an active part of British military strategy, while pirates acted on their own.

I agree that distinction was probably irrelevant for the rest of the world, but you can understand why media and culture in the empire would value and depict them quite differently :)
This is too binary.

Consider instead that 10,000 people collectively want food (necessities), Pokemon cards (luxuries) and electronics for military equipment (materiel). Before sanctions they bought all of these things. With sanctions they cannot. What will be the impact? The military will still get their requipment and the military as well as the rich and powerful will still get food (and probably their Pokemon cards) while the poor and vulnerable will starve.
Cuba sanctions exist only because Cubans living in USA want them to continue.
To me the distinction seems obvious: simulation reproduces the external behaviour of a system i.e from observers pov; emulation reproduces the internal behaviour. Typically the external behaviour emerges from this as a matter of course, but in many cases such a “bottom up” approach isn’t possible or even necessary.
I would not be so sure about that.

If you were expecting to live a much longer life, people might grow more fearful about the consequences of speaking up against a dictator.

I will eat my shoe in a tvshow if there's any evidence to confirm Whatsapp/Meta did this for privacy/moral reasons.
They simply fear this would lead people to leaving Whatsapp and turn to alternative ways of private communication which would mean less users and thus revenue.

at least it now has built in lyrics (even when sometimes not in sync)
Wait till you see how much Instagram A/B tests everything. I found a debug menu in it one day when reverse engineering it to get rid of the ads, and so enabled it as well. Among other things, there is a complete list of all server-side settings (or "quick experiments" as they call them) with the ability to override them. There's at least several hundred of these, possibly a thousand or more. It's insane. The kinds of stuff they're A/B testing, too — wording, button colors, bug fixes, animation durations...

I have no doubt Spotify is doing the same. Every large company does it. This practice of data-driven development is such a disgrace to the IT industry.

Yeah that statement may have been completely accurate 15, maybe even 10 years ago, but gets less and less true as time goes on. After all OSM was apparently conceived in 2006.
functionalism is secondary to the attention economy for modern media platforms.

No, they killed the legacy API which most used recently. Also unless you want to pay for your own widevine license, even Electron is not an option.

Any that still work are using librespot, which uses their undocumented smart device API
I agree that banning automation generally reduces "abundance" and is generally "wrong" without good reason.

On the other hand, I don't see demand for manual labour as wrong - as long as it's a free exchange and the transaction is at a mutually agreeable price.

I don't think it's morally wrong to want hand-made furniture when ikea exists.

Likewise manicures, shelf-stacking or typing code into an IDE by hand.
This paper prove that the Tesla's comparison of raw Autopilot crash data to average human driver crash data is deceptive because it doesn't adjust for the safety of the operating domain (among other factors).

It creating an apples-to-apples comparison of crash data based on the operating domain, he also adjusted for owner age. The results effectively eliminate Tesla's claim that Autopilot meaningfully improves safety outcomes.
The permissions (rwx) don't change, but the uid/gid is mapped. E.g. uid 0 is the running user outside the container, by uid 1 will be mapped to 100000 (configurable), and say 5000 inside the container is mapped to 105000. I don't remember the exact mapping but it works roughly like that.

Wow this is amazing. How did whatsapp react to that Australian law about backdoors?
I think you overestimate the amount that the average person cares about their privacy.
Wonder what they will do with https://chatcontrol.eu then.
No, the regenerative breaking isn't the reason why electric vehicles are more efficient. Traditional ICE are very inefficient, only converting 20% of chemical energy to kinetic energy (with the rest being turned to heat). Diesels are a better at 40%. (modern ccs gas power plants get to 65% from gas to electricity)

Electric motors in cars are approx. 90% efficient. Combined with charging losses and others, that comes out to approx. 70%-80%.

Regenarative breaking only adds an additional ~20%.
> you can't really justify the arts

You absolutely can. Is this actually an issue that EAs have to grapple with? It seems so obvious to me. You just have to stop thinking about art in the fuzzy, "good because other people say it's good" sense of the word. You have to actually come to grips with the function that art serves, which I gather is difficult for a lot of people because the answer doesn't gel with the cultural pacifism that they believe they believe in. Marx of all people got this right.

Art is cultural warfare.

>I suspect no society, ever, has been healthy that didn't invest significant time and resources in the arts.

Obviously. A culture that does not invest in its art is going to be overtaken by a culture that does. Just as a nation that lacks a military is not going to be its own nation for long. The purpose of art is to define, defend, and spread the cultural values of the people that create it. Doing so ensures that those values survive to the next generation, ensuring the long-term success of the culture and movement. Thus, justifying investment and engagement with art, or raising children, is easy. Quantifying the benefits of that investment is much harder because, in contrast to mosquito nets and vaccinations, culture spread is going to be opposed by other cultures. It's PvP, rather than PvE.

For those that don't believe that art affects cultural values, please consider this thought experiment; imagine you have a young child that wants to watch a new movie. You take a look at it, and the movie's story is of a bully and cheater winning at some competition, the entire community siding with that antagonist, and the main character eventually accepting that this is fine and normal and must simply be tolerated. The moral is clearly that liars and cheaters win, violence is a valid way of getting what you want, and everyone who disagrees will be unhappy and defeated in the end anyway. Would you want your child to watch that movie? If not, why?

Of course, this view means that most forms of "high" art - the kind that exists so that people in the know can look down their nose at people who just lack taste and class[0], or so that they can commit tax evasion[1] - are not actually good art. They do not effectively communicate cultural values, or defend them. The attitude of the art world in defending this excreta widens the rift between them and the general public that they should be trying to communicate to. It lowers people's interest in engaging with art on an intellectual and philosophical level, allowing more and more pandering nonsense to be shovelled into them. The modern world has no more interest in "artists" making "art"; it wants "content creators" creating "content".The ongoing destruction of people's ability to understand or appreciate art - where it actually exists - at a high level serves only to lower natural defenses against competing cultures.

It is at least a year or so old. But there have been quite a few bugs, and iirc it was only at v4 where incompatible bugs have been ironed out. Not that it wasn't usable previously, you'd just run into a few issues.
> It's almost like a paid version of spam.

Well put.

It seems they are trying to optimize for listener time. It makes sense for the free offering as listening time is advertisement time is income.

But for the paid version what they should strive for is costumer satisfaction.

Turns out that's a lot harder to measure and related, but not at all the same as listening time or 'engagement'.

Taking thrice as long and twice as many clicks to get where I want to be increases the engagement metric and my dissatisfaction.
Markdown bloggers, what's your newsletter tool?
If you host your markdown blog on GitHub, what's your newsletter tool?

Email marketing tools like ConvertKit and Mailchimp make me want to vomit. I'm sure it's great for e-commerce megacorps using complex automation logic. But for independent writers, not so much: the UX is too multi-purpose and doesn't inspire. And I'd prefer to keep GitHub as my one source of truth.

Newsletter tools like Ghost and Revue can be turned into pure email list managers, kind of. They allow you to unlist posts, but the posts are still accessible if you get ahold of their link. Furthermore, default CTAs like "View online" and "Unsubscribe" point to their own front-end. It's a meh workaround.

So I want a simple newsletter service with read-access to my blog's GitHub repo. When I publish a post there (with the category "Newsletter", say) an email goes out, containing a backlink to that post on my blog. Alternatively, the tool may have write-access to my repo, allowing me to publish from inside the tool.

Are there any tools that do this? Am I doomed to copy-pasting posts into some email list manager like Listmonk? Is it ridiculous to get annoyed about, or can anyone relate? Will I have to build it myself?
LXD is not production ready in my experience. Snap auto updates fucked up many times, for example.

> Grapperhaus wanted to prevent the distribution of photos of the sexual abuse of children

Ah yes, the "think about the children" narrative again.

This argument is as valid as banning knives because some percentage of knife owners commit crimes with them.

I'm really getting tired of this and hope larger groups of population start seeing through this bullshit.

It's an interesting point. I forget the exact quote and source, but
it's something like: living to a very old age requires great emotional
strength, and is lonely, because you will see all those you love die.

Getting to know your grandchildren and embrace their changing world is
probably a good defence in this regard.

To the extent I agree with the parent commenter about it being "a
nightmare", the danger lies in exacerbating inequality. As with all
medicines, those with access to life-improving medicines will be first
world, wealthier people.

But of course that's no good argument against progress, just an
unfortunate short-term side effect of it.
I don't quite understand the argument here. Logging statements and "using a debugger" are not enemies of one another, with tribes of people in one camp versus the other.

Logging, done well, will inform (1) exactly what version of your code you were running 3 months and 12 days ago, and (2) where the potential issue may be.

Therefore it will inform you _where to place a breakpoint_ should you wish to repro the issue and debug locally.

Good luck getting started in a local debug session without having had adequate logging in place.
In addition to the video posted: Their DCs tend to be outside of cities (cheaper space), low density and single story (much easier to cool). If you buy cheap land and keep server density low, both building the dc as well as cooling is much cheaper (you can mostly use ambient air with lower grade fans).

Hetzner is also known to do everything in-house, slows them down building new dcs and expanding to new locations but keeps cost down and the company independent.
> lots of people still have the sluggish VMs in mind.

I did, until trying firecracker.
I grew up in Brooklyn and supermarkets didn't really become a thing here until the 2000s. Like there was Key Food, but that felt more like a general store. There was a Waldbaum in the area but it was pretty inconvenient to get to.

Instead we had fruit stands selling produce, a bakery, a butcher, fishmonger selling seafood. And this isn't mentioning all the ethnic food stores. All of this was on two or three short blocks. The first time I saw a supermarket was when we went to New Jersey. It was a Wegmans and I think what was amazing to me was just how much stuff a single place could have.

I think ultimately it does come down to convenience. I think it's easier than ever to have decent meal at home. You don't even have to peel your own carrots or tear your own lettuce anymore. Sure something with more complexity might take time, but that's better for a weekend.
> look like a clear propaganda to me

This somehow tickled my funny bone. I mean, who can deny that you’re an expert on the subject?
Well they’re already scanning the images that you send so obviously they have a more nuanced position on the topic.

I feel there are two schools of bread in (Western) Europe: the French and German one. The French love bread with a thick, crunchy crust, whereas the classic German dark bread rarely have such a crust.
You keep using that word, "impossible". I do no think it means what you think it means.

No, China sucks it up because US is a nuclear power.
I always wondered about this. I had sooooo many songs saved yet I have been only listening to probably 20% of them. Why is that?
I don't get why you are so upset over someone offering a different perspective to yours? We are both sharing our experiences, and neither of us needs to apologise to anyone for the choices we make. If you see my comments as patronizing, it is only because you are taking it personally. Instead, if you read it again, you will notice it actually supports your argument - that if you don't use social media, you have to put in more effort. I am willing to do that. You and others don't for your own cultural and personal reasons.
Well tile size in meters changes. Pixels stay the same but when a tile is rendered at a specific zoom level of meters/pixel on the screen it needs to be scaled differently and you may even need to request another ring of tiles to fill up the same FoV. Perhaps that was just a specific quirk of my application since I needed to overlay a metric grid with other data.

Thanks for the link, that was an interesting read. Though it seems odd to me that they insist on using AWS and complain about bandwidth when there are providers like Scaleway that do not charge for bandwidth usage at all. Though on the other hand they do only have EU locations so you can't use the CDN principle to reduce latency. But I'm sure people would wait a second longer if it meant a free API.
> Hint: it actually has almost nothing to do with the fact that a large portion of internet users don't like videos.

Data for this? Rather people love to consume videos. Instagram, Tiktok, Twitch come to mind immediately. Not just Youtube.
But again, who is it that makes that call?
*aaS all the way down is the end result of a purely service economy. When we don't manufacture anything tangible, or develop skills of our own, it leads to reliance on 'specialists' to meet all our needs. The end result being a dependent, unskilled consumer culture... not quite as utopian as the MBAs made it sound. .

Can a government demand the same from Telegram and Signal? And if that is the case, how easy would be to circumvent an IP block without users having to use VPNs or tunelling?
Beastman82, you're dreams are good enough :)

In all seriousness, having the massive variety of choice at reasonable (I grew up eating mainly plain grains) prices is a wonder.
That's why the fire at the OVH dc took so long to extinguish. They had to stay away for hours and get boats to provide more water. Sure there were toxic gases, but I'm not aware of people being harmed by it, especially with no one living anywhere close.
Disagree here. Seasonal fruit veg and meat is excellent from my local supermarkets.

Production level are not enough to give everyone a life they would like to have.
The waitlist is an all-to-standard tactic used by B2C SaaS companies. It is designed to create a sense of scarcity and FOMO.

Monju's main consequence was to provide an excuse for Japan to acquire a large stockpile of separated reactor grade Pu. This stuff is not ideal for weapons, but it can be made to work in them, so Japan has a sort of deniable potential for rapid breakout into a nuclear armed state.

Grapperhouse saw how hard it is to track down child abusers. He was touched by it and he wanted to fix this.

The best solution to track down child abusers fast is to track down their communications.

But I agree with you this might not be the best solution for the rest of the world.
You're free to benchmark it yourself and not publish the results.

The performance of it depends heavily on a variety of factors which may it or may not apply to you.

The Fire This Time
Projecting a curved surface onto a flat surface is easy. Doing it without distortions is well, basically impossible.
You can also just use conditional breakpoints or add code to do some test and then call some dummy function on which you set a breakpoint.

I don’t want to suggest that tracing or whatever the system you describe isn’t useful, but I think the main advantage people get from a debugger is being able to look at the values of things and step through the program execution (and often find that it does some surprising things).
If I had to guess, Spotify is optimizing for engagement and listening hours, not searchability.
>Perhaps you have to find a spare IO pin attached to an LED

I made a write-only UART on an ST7. Clocking worked out to 500kbit because that was the first configuration I found where I could make the mark and space bits take an equals number of cycles. I still remember thinking: why in the world is the timing for each of these instructions so different?
Podman isn't supposed to be used in prod servers. It's for local development. It produces OCI compatible images (through Buildah), and you're supposed to use those with a proper container orchestration tool such as K8s, Nomad, Docker Swarm, or whatever else there is.
How would they be related? Did the fire delete data the police didn't have elsewhere already?
It is sensitive territory, but the main point is that correlation does not equal causation. I imagine if there is a correlation between immigrant owned and poor quality, there might be some cultural factors at play. An immigrant taking over a Howard Johnson's for example, might not "get" why Americans valued Howard Johnson's in the first place, and the end result might be, from an American's perspective, a significant drop in quality.

Who knows. I just use that as an example. But my point is you have to look deeper, and just broadly stating that immigrant owned equals poor quality is lazy and quite frankly comes across as ignorant.
You don't need valid production certificates, just valid certificates for that domain name, signed by a CA you trust. The nuance is that you can use a local CA to get a valid certificate, rather than using a production one (which you don't want to have on your computer - I mean the private part of it of course)
Genuine counter-argument: it makes sense to cast a wide net then to filter your customers to try to build a small and loyal customer base.

The truly genuine way of doing this, though, is to advertise the product as such and let people decide to sign up on their own will (e.g. « here is a new email system dedicated to power users. »)

Right, and there's the added bonus of the author not being Scandinavian himself.

History classes in schools in every country probably follow the same general pattern, and if you live in a western country I would expect everyone starts with the ancients, Egypt, Greece, Rome...

But if you grew up in Scandinavia, after the fall of Rome you would generally jump straight into the Viking age, because it's at this point that history stops being about them, the others, and starts being about us. The Viking age is when we became a people, it's when our history starts, it's the moment when we burst onto the world stage and got noticed by others. It's at this point in time that we ceased being generic north-Germanic settlers and became our own culture. This watershed moment legitimises our modern nation states, because this is when it all began.
