Why are you compiling F# AOT to binary all the time?
yes quite correct, fabs probably cannot be built without 'cheating the rules'. I'm sure the US would be happy to waive this one by though, I think free market is rhetorical at this stage, even for the most conspicuous advocate of it
> Why on earth do some people think it’s okay to include USA with countries like Qatar?

Of course they're not at all comparable, but it is worth pointing out that Qatar is a very close ally of the US, and that close relationship likely enables some of their behaviour, or at least makes it less likely that they will suffer negative consequences.
My personal opinion is that prostitution by any person under 25 or maybe even 30 should be illegal. Once your brain is mature—sure, go ahead and do it. My experience with former prostitutes who started out young was that they were unaware of the price they eventually paid for their actions. They were taken advantage of because they were at a disadvantage. If you’re over 25 or 30 go ahead. Before that, it’s just so likely to end up wrong.
Maybe they shouldn't have started in Go then.
It's not what Mozilla was supposed to do, it's what we here were supposed to do. Everyone here should have switched to Firefox already. That would make a difference in the long run by both direct and indirect effects. Just hunker down, do your part and eat your spinach already.
KPIs? Much easier to catch an escort agent.
TLDR:

Senate Bill 357, authored by Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), would revoke the state’s current law which bans loitering in a public place with the intent to commit prostitution—a law that advocates say is “inherently discriminatory and targets people not for any action but simply how they look.” In turn, this has resulted in the disproportionate criminalization of trans, Black and Brown women, and has also perpetuated violence toward sex workers.
In Sweden, prostitution is illegal, but not selling sex. Instead, the buyer is the one breaking the law. I think this makes more sense, because the prostitutes will not need to fear reaching out for help to get out of the situation.
Bitcoin is the solution to the fundamentally broken debt-driven economy. Critics don't get it because they lump it together with "cryptocurrency". While technically a cryptocurrency, Bitcoin does not exhibit any of the ponzi, scam-like shenanigans that are easily observable in shitcoins. Yes, there is a lot of crazy stuff happening with wash trading - but this is a byproduct of lack of regulation and has nothing to do with the thing that is Bitcoin. Most critics just don't understand what problem Bitcoin solves. They think it has something to do with replacing currency, or sending payments. Bitcoin is a financial freedom tool for billions of people, the likes of which do not browse Hacker News. Those people get Bitcoin instantly. They don't need articles like this one to tell them why their needs are unmet by the traditional finance system. The thing that Bitcoin critics lack is the understanding of credit markets, central banking and manipulation of money - the source of a large number of problems in the world. To them, everything is fine. Reminds me of that meme where the place is on fire and the dog is sitting in the middle of the room - that's the Bitcoin critic.
By observing it's behaviour you can infer that in some sense it experiences the world. Experiencing events isn't the same as being conscious. If I strike a cricket ball, it experiences the blow; but it isn't conscious.

It depends on what you want: we don't know exactly what they did. However, we can produce better steel no matter what criterium you have for stiffness, strength, corrosion or oxidation resistance (sorry I'm just guessing the English terminology here, I'm not a native speaker)
It'd probably just create new problems. After all, degrees are supposedly regulated by governments already, but they aren't doing it properly. Why would some state-issued license be any better?

In theory, if there was demand for it the private sector could fix this by issuing certifications. In practice certifications aren't especially useful or well recognized, as the sort of people with the best skills don't see any need to take them. It's much easier and lower effort to demonstrate your skills in an interview. See this thread - people don't have the time/will to do take-home assignments that are meant to consume a few hours, tops (and I totally get that, I wouldn't want to either). They certainly wouldn't be happy if you suddenly told them they all had to cram for and take some government designed exam that checked their knowledge of e.g. Java 1.4 otherwise they'd all lose their jobs!

Not really, the whole ecosystem around prostitution is a nasty element of pimps, street dealers, etc. Not in your backyard I’m sure.

It’s easy to say academically in your living room that paying some poor soul for a blowjob hurts nobody. It’s even easier to pivot to some knee jerk about how police are the problem.

Reality is more complex. And the political reality is that these poorly implemented policy changes are going to create strong republican majorities all over the place.

The Web is only one Safari away to turn into ChromeOS, as Firefox hardly matters any more.
A huge amount of it is going to graphics. A 4K screen is ~31 MB just for the framebuffer. In comparison, 640x480x16 colors is 150K of memory.

Windows 95 also didn't do things the modern way. It didn't keep an image of every application's windows in RAM. It kept track of what covered up what, and then asked applications to redraw themselves when needed.

Another huge amount is going to features like internationalization. Unicode is a beast that takes a good amount of code to implement, and Arial Unicode is a ~20 MB TTF file.

Modern luxuries like being able to tweet in Japanese are quite expensive.

Yep, that's exactly it.

By cheating I didn't mean getting solutions from websites although there's obviously a lot of that going on if you browse through e.g. Upwork. A staggering number of 'jobs' are obviously student coding assignments being farmed out.

The sort of cheating I meant was more stuff like students copy/pasting stuff off Wikipedia (it's all on the written reports remember) or copying answers off each other. Or they'd deliberately submit work they knew didn't function properly, aware of the fact that it wouldn't matter.
There will always be a dependency on resources or products from other countries - especially if we truly respect the rights of self-determination of arbitrarily small nations and city-states. True sovereignty of these states also means that they have the right to not trade with us for any reason, does it not?

There will also always be disagreements on fundamental ethical issues between countries. Even between the states in the US you can see such disagreements.

What we seem to lack is a principle for dealing with such situations. Instead, ad-hoc, inconsistent measures tend to be taken. It seems like if the true principle guiding such decisions were publicly announced, the general public would find it unpalatable. Are we living in willful denial?

Can such a principle then exist, that would both be consistent with our declared values, without compromising our ability to survive and defend ourselves and act according to it?
EVOO? Extra virgin especially low, and also a waste of money using it for cooking. I don't use even cheap olive oil for anything hotter than say medium-high frying or grilling. Unless you're in Italy, where perhaps it's (at the low end) dominant cheap oil, otherwise (or if olivey flavour not desired) I'd suggest something cheap flavourless & high-smoke point, exactly what varies by region - sunflower, rapeseed, mustard, whatever.
I use Delicious Library to catalogue them, shelf by shelf (I have the Microvision RoV Bluetooth barcode scanner they support), and a workflow to make this very efficient: select the shelf in DL, go to the shelf, scan all the ISBNs (the scanner has a memory), come back and watch as the barcodes are poured wirelessly into DL, looked up on Amazon for cover art and other metadata, and appear on the virtual bookshelf. Very satisfying.
So we can establish that Terra's ridiculously high 20% yield was only sustainable so long as investors continued to put massive amounts of money into the protocol, but if a de-peg ever occurred it would create a death spiral that would send it nearly to zero and collapse the entire system. Let this be a signpost for future investors to avoid high yield promises and assume it comes with extreme risk.

But the comments here are wrongly equating Terra to the rest of crypto such as ETH, and assuming everything will collapse just the same. The value of ETH is not that the price will go up or provide predictable yield - its primary use is as a gas token in order to interact with the network, like trading any token or depositing value in a smart contract. The price of this fuel can go up and down, but the asset will always remain in demand for as long as people still wish to continue to do these things on the network.
Oh I'd bet Safeway pays much better than prostitution.
People have sex in semi-public for the excitement of potentially getting caught. Maybe the possibility of lashes creates even more excitement. If that's turning them on who are we to judge?
To be fair, that would need consent, "beat us when you catch us", and should not be required by law.

Given the direction Brendan Eich has pursued at Brave, I'm personally very glad he didn't remain as Mozilla's CEO, regardless of political views.

Edit: Also, I don't think it's particularly reasonable to single out an individual being funded by Mozilla without a very good explanation as to why. Is there something that Leil Zahra has done which makes you think they are inappropriate to be associated with Mozilla? Or are you just upset by their identity as a queer person?
this isn't decriminalizing their work. they still won't be able to go to the police. this just says that cops need another reason to harass them.
That's strange... if they'd written the code in a memory safe language, say, Java... there wouldn't be any vulnerability?

I don't know... I see plenty of vulnerabilities in the Java world, no memory unsafety needed.

However, since I am a person that likes to "risk" their well-earned money, I think it's good that I have burnt my fingers early when I had less money.

It doesn't rescue all your investments in a downturn but at least you'll likely never lose more than 50%.

Hi!

in the last few months I've been working on a semi-automatic weekly newsletter for various topics, mainly about programming.

Each week a recap is sent with a link to relevant discussions (on Lobsters, HN, Reddit, etc.).

Sample issue for Rust: https://discu.eu/weekly/rust/2022/24/

Sample issue for Compsci: https://discu.eu/weekly/compsci/2022/24/

Beside the newsletter, there's also a browser extension which shows the presence of discussions for the page you're currently viewing: https://discu.eu/extension and a series of bots for Mastodon and Twitter which post regular updates: https://discu.eu/social

Developed with Django: https://github.com/xojoc/discussions

Any feedback is welcome! Especially about the landing page :)
In the case of GNOME it is not apathy towards choice but corporate backing. Companies that do business with Linux like Redhat, Canonical, will benefit greatly if the vast number of options that the Linux ecosystem has can be culled to a certain approved stack, at least on their supported platforms. Since they also employ or sponsor a large amount of development within the ecosystem, other players are left either to grudgingly adopt them or seethe in frustration. KDE would've gone the way of Xfce etc had it not already had considerable momentum from the earliest days. Despite being an even larger collection of s/w than GNOME and strongly supported by SuSE, they're still second place by quite a way. That shows the power of big corporate money's ability to take over even ostensibly "FOSS" software that's theoretically free but practically still dominated by a few companies, perhaps trending towards an absolute monopoly in the future, like Google on the Web.
I really miss MutterIRC client for iOS, it was probably the best client, all you had to do was install MutterIRC module on your ZNC, download iOS app and log in to your ZNC account.
It was like using WhatsApp, you always got a push notification if someone wrote to you or wrote you a nick in a chat.

I would really like MutterIRC to come back or some alternative to this application.

When I was at work I got a push notification and could quickly write back on IRC chat. That's how it should work.
Unfortunately, MutterIRC is not working since 2019.

The most interesting part about this will be how GAA transistors perform. This is the first new transistor architecture since FinFET. It promises better performance on metrics such as leakage, drive currents, switching speeds, etc., and not just density (although they're all interrelated to some degree -- e.g., you could improve leakage by reducing density or switching speed).
True that an update system could be used maliciously.

I wonder though: if the keys needed to sign an update are stored in say an American or Korean HSM and no person located in Australia has access, can the Australian government still compel their use?

Seems quite an article for something that's founded on just an unsourced and unquotable rumor.
While interesting as a project for many reasons, I don't think it would have been practical for X-Plane.

X-Plane is different from all other simulators in that it doesn't have a "flight model" programmed in for each aircraft. Instead it simulates the actual airflow around the body of the aircraft, based on the 3D model being rendered.

So any existing simulator would likely have been fairly unhelpful: it would have an inaccurate physical model and no hints whatsoever as to how air actually flows around the plane, only shortcuts giving off hints as to what effects it has on flight dynamics.

What old simulators could have been used for, I suppose, is for automating discrepancy detection: throw random scenarios with random control inputs into both the old simulator and X-Plane, then see if the aircraft response diverges. Based on that, investigate.

That said, it sounds like this was exactly the instructor's job (except maybe they simulated in their head) which was probably the cheaper way to go about it in the end anyway.
While it's true that the Standard Template Library is truly a "long time" ago, being a 1990s project, the poster's phrase "before STL was standardized" actually refers to C++ 98 and C++ 03 where the C++ standards don't specify std::string internals.

Originally C++ doesn't have a string type, the C++ 98 standard does standardize a string type but it's only loosely specified. Most implementations do something "clever" which it turns out is a bad idea (this is a recurring theme in C++. Only in C++ 11 does the standard say OK, we'll prescribe how the string class actually works, making it more complicated but hopefully avoiding the worst problems.

Chrome was launched in 2008, and much of its internal structure was far older having incorporated work by Mozilla and Apple.

Uh, this is a few years old, and perhaps the author was learning as they went. Still, I think this passage is a bit too much:

Quick refresher: a pointer is a location in memory aka a memory address. That memory address can contain anything: an integer, a float, the middle of a string. It can also store the name of a function, also known as its label. A function’s name is its address in memory.

A pointer is not a location in memory. A pointer is a type of value, that represents a location in memory. It certainly cannot hold the name of a function, since names are not locations (also, in C there are no names at run-time typically).

It can hold the location of a function, which is represented symbolically in C by its name. These names are not called labels in C, that is a common term in assembly though.
> US doctors seemed really eager to waste money, like really eager, like it was creepy

Your last point is purely a function of the liability culture in the states. US physicians are quite aware of what's appropriate and what's inappropriate testing wise. However, as long as a physician can be held personally liable for any oversight - meaning that the results of an entire career can be lost - they're going to over-test.

Give it time. Texas and other Southern states currently seem to be in a race to see which state can out Nazi-analogy the other in regards to trans rights, abortion and religious propaganda in schools and those states historically also had (or still have) "anti-sodomy" laws.

Outright criminalizing all LGBT identity and speech literally just depends on whether the Supreme Court lets the states turn the ratchet far enough, which they seem willing to do. It would absolutely have popular support among much of the country.

> a simulation is just something that runs as an informational phenomenon on top of some physical substrate

A simulation is a simulation of something; it's by definition not the reality being simulated. If you want to say you can have a simulation without simulating something, that "reality" is itself a simulation, then we're into turtle territory; this simulation models that simulation, which models another simulation, all the way down.

That path leads to solipsism, which I think is a stultifying view. It's a view that I once entertained, but eventually rejected.
In the UK protitution is legal as along as you do not advertise which means it is discrete and you do not know it's there really. I was naive and aware of of its existance for many years.

no need to worry we love good feedback here at Tabnine ;-) Your observations are appreciated. In this case we are using general code and not a custom model but if you would like a custom model then I would wager you would get better variable names... maybe even "awesome".
