> I am not aware of any payment systems that support the use of NFC

I basically lumped the whole of Asia into a melting pot, whoops. While you're correct that India's UPI doesn't have an NFC mode, other countries do (NETS of Singapore and various systems in Japan for example).
I question the sanity of our politicians that think putting German money into F35 is a good idea.

Maybe a model worth copying would be the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission (LECC) of the Australian state of New South Wales – https://www.lecc.nsw.gov.au/

The NSW state government appoints the Chief Commissioner of the LECC – but by law, they must appoint a (serving or retired) senior judge. The other Commissioner is also appointed by the government, but the Chief Commissioner has a veto over the government's appointment of the Commissioner, and by law cannot be a serving or retired police officer – http://www8.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/legis/nsw/cons...

It seems to be actually effective – at least sometimes – in going after police misbehaviour, for example: https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/are-you-going-to-attack-...

Although in other cases maybe it has not done as good a job: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-02-20/nsw-police-watchdog-k...

And some view it as overly lenient: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/apr/06/nsw-p...

Still, I wonder what would have been the outcome in those kinds of cases if they had happened in the US?
It’s interesting that you don’t consider landscaping, juice bars, and wind surfing schools as beneficial to the economy. Could it be that these highly educated and intelligent people you are talking about see things differently? Perhaps after 5 years in tech they realize that none of the companies they’ve worked for are actually providing any benefit to society and are perhaps even a net negative. That realization is sure to produce instant burnout as the work you’re putting in is now meaningless or even harmful. At that point it becomes a rational choice to start a small business that provides some immediate benefit to people no matter how trivial.

I don’t think there’s a damned thing you could change in the work environment to fix that, it’s the work itself that is the problem.
Your site is really great.

Heh, they don't want to speak about that. Even or especially low price electric devices all seemed to switch to USB3 anyway. Probably because the parts were the cheapest and available in high quantity. What low price electric devices generally don't have is an implementation for voltage negotiation. We will probably see some dead devices because of that.

It is possible to access windows API functions from Powershell, but it's not particularly simple. I think you can define a method that calls an API function? Alternatively you can go via C#. In theory you could access the DirectX primitives that way.

DX is a pretty low level API though. Unreal and Unity exist for a reason.
The DAT protocol originally came out of this need. It's a very neat data sharing system that's designed to work with huge files, and it also came with a user friendly browser called Beaker Browser.

Unfortunately the project seems to have split or evolved into a different project or something. They went through some rebrands, a rewrite, Beaker got abandoned and I lost track of what they're doing now. I think their grant funding ran out. But it was a pretty good attempt at making this stuff easy or easier.
> Diablo 1 and 2 were good video games. They weren't intended as works of art, and they aren't

I disagree and consider both games to be works of art. Both games pushed the boundaries of cinematic story telling for the ARPG genre.

> A game where you go around killing increasingly strong enemies isn't really anything new.

A painting of a woman wasn't new in the early 1500s when the Mona Lisa was painted, but I think most would consider it a work of art.

Imo, .net domains are also just fine, and often just look/feel/sound better than the .com counterpart. They also kind of feel more personal. For my personal domain name I chose .net even though the .com was available because the .net just felt and sounded right, and more personal.
This is insane. These device UIs should be standardized and any manufacturer making a significant UI change to their product should not be permitted to sell it under the same name and number. The FDA should be looking at this before approving such devices for use.

I've owned two Alfas (one of which I still have). The reputation for poor reliability is very well deserved in my experience, and we are very well known by the local mechanics. It varied a bit by model - but overall I think it's a fair assessment.

Like so many things these reputations form for good reasons - you may get lucky and have no particular problems with an individual example but that doesn't mean the reputation isn't deserved.
Right, but alternatively you could register an account with a password manager, use a (long) pass phrase as the password for that, and store all your other credentials in the password manager. That way you have full access with only a single pass phrase needing to be remembered, and customer support not required…

Some of the roads where i live are over 2000 years old. Was it because society used vehicles to build their civilisation and to move goods and provide services at lower latency?

If scooter users stayed on roads i wouldn't have a problem. But the technology lends itself to abuse by people with no knowledge of safe road use.

Funny that you use that example. That's a classic example of something that's achievable in a trustless manner. If the address has no outbound activity for x time, transfer assets to beneficiary.

In Berlin I literally trip over them as soon as I leave the house. I think the companies are intentionally blocking sidewalks as a sales tactic. They are also useless for me, because I have my own bicycle, I don't like their pricing model (incentivizes reckless driving and parking) and I haven't found an option yet that is privacy-friendly.

That they can use (block) the sidewalks as free ad space for their business seems to be a loophole that is just not patched yet.
10% sounds too low. Most of what is on Twitter is spam.
"Road Users" is an interesting euphemism here.

This is completely wrong. Scooters are a fantastic method of getting around a city, particularly in hotter months, and somehow I find even riding in winter a much warmer experience compared to biking. Personally I prefer using my own scooter, but often take the scooter-share anyway because I am worried about mine being stolen and it's very convenient to be able to grab one anywhere and go directly to where you're going, especially when combined with a metro trip.

"Don't aircraft have more or less standardized controls and displays?"

Commercial pilots (and military) are required to train and qualify on a particular aircraft before being allowed to fly it. Controls can differ, but it's generally the difference in flight characteristics/handling that is the difference. Although we can see that the different computer related controls and lack of training were a factor in the Max crashes.
those cavitation bubbles should be able to destroy cancer cells too. I.e. probably can be used instead of radiation and proton "knives".
IMO this is another example of a company taking established trust in a franchise and exploiting it for a cash grab. The problem is that while players are upset right now they will forget and when Diablo 4 releases everyone will promptly pull out their wallets. There isn't much risk in companies doing these kinds of things because of consumer apathy.

In this specific case it's a "meh" from me because I think Diablo 3 mostly destroyed the franchise for me both in terms of lore and gameplay mechanics. Blizzard has gone on record as saying they aren't competing with Path of Exile in the ARPG market and see the market split into two parts: simple/casual (D3) and complex (PoE) and I prefer the more complex and engaging market. All of the information they have released about Diablo 4 so far fits in line with that thinking and is mostly a re-hashing of the D3 mechanics.

Scooters would be a great solution for the last mile in the suburbs where you have to walk 1.5km from the subway to home.

This is where they are not.

Instead, scooters are in the ultra dense city center where you anyway have the choice between: bus, metro, light-rail, bikes and other modes of transport.

This is where everyone hates them.

This is the situation in Germany at least.

I don't give a fuck about tactics and crap, this isn't Starcraft.

My definition of winning is the same definition of winning war has had since the beginning of time: achieving one's political objectives.

Ukraine's political objectives are:

* To be in the strongest possible position at the peace table

* To get military and political support from the West against Russia during the conflict and after the conflict is over (EU membership, military protection from NATO if not NATO membership).

They are on track to achieve both.

Russia's political objective was clearly regime change, which miserably failed, and then control of Donbas, which they are struggling to achieve.

So, who's winning?

The only way Russia wins is if nonsense Russian talking points infest Western public opinion so much that we stop arming Ukraine.

Interesting, according to the medium article: 1) the numbers used in the study are wrong 2) they are not representative and 3) the numbers do not represent medical error

From the article:

The problem is that this is very subjective and mostly assessable in hindsight — it’s easy to say on reviewing a person’s chart that they might’ve done better on different medication, but whether that really does constitute a medical error is complex and not nearly as cut-and-dried as the BMJ paper suggests.
"People leave comments and downvote when binaries do evil things."

There are just way, way, way too many binaries out there for even a large fraction of them to be commented on.

I would definitely not rely on such comments for my security.

Anecdotally, I've scanned a ton of stuff through VT and very rarely saw any comments on them at all. It happens sometimes, but not a lot.

I don’t get the point you are trying to make here.

Drivers operating cars 100% legally are a bigger threat to pedestrians than reckless scooter users.
If I find one which is parked wrong (almost all) I move them over next to a garbage bin or put them onto the street since then they will be fined but not when parked on the sidewalk.

They use public space for private gain and block sidewalks, I have no incentive not to screw with them.
But this has nothing to do with "confidence" or software quality, it's just the nature of the architecture change, which developers should be aware of. For normal (non-dev) consumers it has near zero impact since everything else just runs normally.

Images have now to be built as x86 for deployment vs arm64 locally. iOS project dependencies need to be rebuilt as well, and some would have broken build scripts because they never imagined you could be developing on arm64 so platform arch is hardcoded everywhere. I've had this issue myself, but it's on third parties to update, not Apple. This is all well known, and already the case for Windows RT / ARM and others, the Apple ecosystem just needed time to adjust.

I would recommend Hugo over Jekyll. It seems a bit more modern and user friendly, at least for me it was easier to set up and customize.
Your interesting take does ignore the fundamental point however that the human brain requires both far less energy and far less training data to learn. The takeaway for me is that there is huge scope to improve our machine learning techniques.

It was definitely financial. 4chan was hemorrhaging money, and as long as it stayed the way it currently is, it would have opened him up for lawsuits he could not possibly afford. There were many efforts from the 2010s onwards to defang the site, most likely for advertisers or to pretty it up for sale, but all failed.

He tried to use 4chan to springboard financial projects when monetization failed, but obviously, they failed, too.

All the Chans I've seen have to rely on self-serve ads from their users, or ads from porn companies that don't care about the controversy, and even that's fading now. It's pretty much an inherently chaotic and edgy format, and that does not appeal to advertisers at all.

> I don't think "age" is a valid cause of death.

Uhm, considering our technological advancement in the medical sector I'd argue "age" should be the only valid cause of death. Sadly it isn't for obvious reasons (firearms, car crashes, everything else related to safety etc., hunger, lack of medical equipment and supplies etc. etc. etc.) ... and ironically the article is one of those causes that could and should be easily avoided.

In the ARPG space this probably means supporting Eleventh Hour Games and their Last Epoch series. Path of Exile by Grinding Gear Games is a fantastic game, but they are 90% owned by Tencent now, so they probably don't qualify as a "smaller studio".

There’s some in Tokyo as a trial and they are so much more pleasant. Can only be parked on private property (you can sign up to host them at your business), and they are lightweight since they apparently don’t need to be designed to withstand vandalism. They are supposed to only be used on the road, and you need a drivers license to operate them. The only downside is they can only go 15km/h and feel a bit dangerously slow in traffic at times.
The King's Toaster
I don't really think many people are calling it a panacea. From my experience in the community most people I know who write Haskell write it for productivity reasons (including me, I'd rather be using Idris 2 with algebraic effects though.)

I'm not saying it's somehow magically more productive than other languages, because it's useless to throw around stuff you can't really prove like that, just some people find it to be the case.

I've never found "everyone writing their own DSL" to be problematic, because it's all exposed through the Monad/Applicative/Functor classes, so the way you use them are all very similar. Honestly, the usage of such eDSLs is one of my favourite parts of writing Haskell.

I use Haskell at my work for our main application, and we've been looking at adopting a style guide like https://kowainik.github.io/posts/2019-02-06-style-guide

And about interesting applications in Haskell, I'd consider https://hasura.io/ pretty interesting!

EDIT: And about language extensions, yeah, they can be a problem. What we do is settle on a base set of extensions, and if you want to use another one, you need to provide sufficient justification for it.

In my experience it is the majority of users here in London. They feel like quasi pedestrians so they run lights, use pavements and operate without a driving license (as required by law). Given at the moment there are so few of them relatively speaking the coming epidemic of scooters will be a disaster for pedestrians
I use both GitHub and Gitlab for contributing to various open source projects. In my experience Gitlab is far superior. Github is too sluggish and buggy compared to Gitlab.
It’s almost as if the medical community should come up with a general term for a death caused by a combination of complications due to circumstances highly correlated with being old.
One of the main purposes of recording cause of death is so that we know what to concentrate on for improving public health. For example, perhaps we could make old people's bones less brittle by adding vitamins to bread, or do something to persuade more of them to eat something other than just bread and jam, or perhaps we could stop them getting infected with pneumonia in hospitals, or somehow make pneumonia more survivable, or ... Putting "age" as the "cause of death" would be about as useful as putting "birth" or "cessation of the vital functions".
