I kind of agree with your assessment, but here's what I know about the UK situation:

Public sector workers in the UK have fought hard for good pay and conditions, but many face worsening conditions and pay today.

In the past 60 years, many formerly public sector industries and sectors have been slowly privatised, such as rail, mail, and telecom, to name the largest examples. These workers have taken real-terms pay cuts during working as "essential workers" during the pandemic, only to face "fire-and-rehire" tactics from employers as we get back to normal -- employers terminating their contracts and then hiring for the same role months later, only with worse conditions and pay.

Those workers who have remained in the public sector also face terrible pay and conditions. Over the past 40 years the public sector has had its funding gradually stripped away, to the extent that teachers, nurses, as well as local government workers have far higher caseloads than ever before.

In the specific instance of these barristers, many are totally overworked, as legal aid -- the funding for public defence barristers -- is once again being cut. Many barristers are surviving on a shoestring, being paid effectively far below minimum wage, all due to their selfless choice to give the right to a fair trial to those too poor to afford their own lawyer. Stories like these are so depressing because the barristers -- many extremely dedicated and highly qualified professionals -- have been left no choice but to protect their ability to feed themselves and keep a roof over their heads.

Furthermore, collective bargaining is not a "privilege" in the UK, it is a right enshrined by law here -- and all workers have this right, wherever they choose to form a union branch. But what has changed in the past 60 years is laws limiting worker's ability to strike. Things like secondary picketing, mass picketing and the like -- tactics where smaller groups of workers can band together and support each other -- means that whilst it's somewhat true that larger public sector unions are more powerful by comparison these days, 60 years ago all unions in all sectors were MORE powerful. This was brought in by several successive governments in the 70s and 80s, but they haven't entirely succeeded in legislating out one of the most fundamental rights that British workers have. Union density stands lower than it ever has, but we're seeing the return of industrial action due to the terrible conditions that many of these workers have.

It's interesting because a lot of the old trade union acts were in response to a similar situation in the 70s and 80s -- public sector workers faced stagnating wages and high inflation. But even when the laws have changed, the workers generally respond only when their livelihood is threatened. It's why I think the analogy of "holding the country to ransom" is wrong, because the shoe is very much on the other foot for these workers, as it was back then -- a few days of inconvenience (or even some rare legal judgements) are nothing compared to what these workers face collectively at the hand of unscrupulous employers and a chaotic economy.
You're probably right, but also: the three movies take place one right after the other, over the span of what, 2-3 weeks maybe? Kinda makes sense from a plot perspective that Wick might look a bit winded by the third movie.
Its always been a sort of wink-wink agreement, never allowing exceptions as far as I'm aware. Its much more common to do post-release updates of JS than native, but I think every native dev has done some form of dynamic code at some point. In one app we did, we ended up disabling the dynamic update but still ran a handrolled VM with dynamically interpreted code files which we baked into the app. Its all manually reviewed in the end, so no guarantees they would even catch it anyways.
You’re accusing GP of shilling, then you distort the argument from the entire market that they were referring to, to only the iPhone.

What kind of weird and aggressive behavior is this?

You should be ashamed of your behavior.

Thank you so much for the interest everyone. I stopped production of the Halo device just for the Summer as we recollect parts and build inventory again. We tend to discourage Summer (July & Aug) mix-seed feeding in any case, since juvenile House Sparrows are generally immune to the wires and carry this into adulthood. This is where halo efficacy is somewhat lower in the Summer as seen in the U of Neb paper. Everything about this device is contained in my blog. Start home and scroll down, or at least check out these two:

We find that, overall, the Halo is about 85% effective according to those surveyed. Cheers, -Francis

It may be 60% on MacOS but that’s a very tiny market. Overall Chrome is quite dominant.

Numbers I found say on desktop Chrome is at 70%. Include the 7.75% for Edge (because it’s basically Chrome) and that’s almost 80%. FF at least exists and is similar to Safari.

On mobile it’s at 65%. Safari is the only other browser above
5%.

Chrome is dangerously close to total monopoly.

Archaeologists still study garbage heaps from tens of thousands of years ago to figure out things about past civilisations. So my guess is on no - people will study the digital garbage heaps of humanity as much as they study the... once-were- stinkier ones.
IIRC, every video game console that ships with webkit has been jailbroken due to vulnerabilities in webkit. Off the top of my head at least, I know the following have been exploited that way:

* PS4

* PS Vita

* 3DS/New 3DS

* Wii U

* Wii

Also maybe PS3/PSP and likely also PS5 will get the webkit exploit treatment at some point.
Fun fact: the reason you hear distortion applied to stringed instruments like a guitar, but not wind instruments like a flute, is because of the harmonics involved. Overdriving a signal generates a chain of overtones related to whatever the fundamental is- 3rd, 4th, 5th harmonic, etc. But if you play two unrelated notes and then overdrive the signal you get weird extra frequencies related to the sum and difference of the two notes.

Now with a stringed instrument, the natural harmonics of a vibrating string are multiples of the original frequency (since a string is vibrating in one dimension only). So the artificial harmonics from the overdrive work together with the natural ones in a way that produces a pleasing sound.

But with a two dimensional resonating surface like a bell or a three dimensional volume like a flute, there are all kinds of extra frequencies that aren't clean multiples of the fundamental. So when you overdrive that signal you get a splash of noisy frequencies that are not very musical.

That's why you hear overdriven guitars, but not overdriven flutes. And, if they have discovered the trick of overdriving a musical signal on Proxima Centauri b, they are probably doing it on a stringed instrument.

So, in summary: space rock and roll is a plausible thing.
I agree with the snippets take, Copilot functions like a super-powered search; instead of a Developer looking at code on Github and taking the snippet from it, Copilot just presents that snippet to the developer in a much more quicker fashion.
You don’t think Google will push Chrome to iOS users with banners when they search, use YouTube, Gmail, etc?

This issue is that this affects private servers. Since Microsoft is trying to make Minecraft a kid-friendly environment, their chat moderation is going to be aimed at protecting 10 year olds from profanity.

Imagine you have a private server where everyone is required to show ID and prove they're over 30 before joining and profanity is explicitly allowed. Maybe it started with a small group of friends and then expanded to include friends-of-friends, so there are some people who don't know each other IRL. With this new change, player A could get mad at player B. Player A then waits for player B to send a totally-inoffensive message that includes profanity (ex: "holy shit the new house you build it awesome") and report it. Because of this new system, player B now gets banned from playing multiplayer Minecraft despite properly tailoring their language to the server they're playing on.
Ehh normally you’d want a home server to have a handful of SATA ports and enough PCIe lanes for a SAS card and GPU. If you’re spending 5W per HDD and hopefully in the future hundreds of watts for video transcoding, 20W for everything else is no big deal.

Anyway I’ve never used OpenBSD, but you can probably mess with the CPU governor settings to make it idle more aggressively.
I've on a number of occasions expressed opinions because I believe they needed to be expressed and I knew the other folks holding those opinions wouldn't be ok to do so, whereas I probably would (and have largely survived that so far).

A small use of privilege but I hope a useful one overall.
People have been stealing open source code in much more meaningful ways for years. I'm more annoyed with, and think we'd be better off directing our ire at the countless embedded device vendors and commercial software vendors who ship GPL binaries with no source, rather than splitting hairs over CoPilot.

I find Copilot distasteful and frustrating, but I don't think the misappropriation of code it performs is particularly meaningful. I think it's worth pushing back on, surely, as a matter of principle.

But will it "end open source," or do I think about it when I make contributions to open source code or provide solutions to others? Absolutely not.
That’s wonderful. You never know where a journalist could be hiding.

That's fair if you have the same stance for all social interactions. If you don't then it's odd since nothing about programming makes people less human and less impacted by the usual social considerations. Although even if that is your stance for everything it's likely not the stance of everyone on the team.
I find it hard to assess risk for oneself without understanding the exact mechanics here. Would these same people similar risk with a COVID infection, or is there something specific to the mRNA channel that elevates heart risks?
They might want to be somewhat careful here so as to not piss off the provincial government. As a foreign, anglophone company, I’m sure there’s a rule or inspection they can produce if they need to to make Amazon’s life miserable. And they won’t care if Amazon leaves.
So off-peak pre-cooling, did I read your comment right?

That has been talked about quite a bit actually. Technology Connections made a nice YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFEHFsO-XSI) about it.

I'm a bit surprised though that off-peak pre-cooling isn't more common or even widely incentivised, especially with the rise of smart home and IoT stuff. All I've seen is reduction (so less cooling) during peak, if I'm not remembering wrong, people were quite annoyed with that.
I can believe the teachings are accurate without losing the ability to understand that the teachings are sometimes conveyed via parable or metaphor. "That it teaches" is doing a lot of the lifting there.
It gives a few examples of use cases where protection against these are not necessary. This is one of my pet peeves too and I agree with the author. Though if you want google to list and rank you, you have to have it. (This might have changed. Google doesn't do anything for long.)

As a side effect of the push for https, local web log analysis is basically worthless nowadays. This might be why google pushed it so heavily.
I'm vaguely sure that many of the hackers picking apart 8-bit games are in their twenties, if not teens. Meanwhile, even people who grew up with SNES and Genesis would now be in the late thirties.

On the other hand, if Apple's anti-competitive practices end and Chrome finally hits 90%+ market share, it would make it much harder for regulators to ignore Chrome's dominance and might lead to some actual change for once.

This small difference would very likely be several kilometers at least. As the article mentioned even the push from photons is relevant for determining the impact site.

One of these objects will be closer to the moon and will be affected more by its gravity and less by its own momentum. This effect increases with time and in the end will amount to a large difference.
Where did Judaism spread via war and forced conversion? Your historical claim is not entirely accurate and seemed very biased.

Buddhism was spread by missionaries throughout history. At times, much in the same way as Christianity. Undoubtedly the missionaries from both Buddhist and Christian societies thought they were spreading enlightenment and to some extent they stuck because other people agreed.

This is really misleading and potentially dangerous. Details:

* Even on static sites, HTTPS prevents a MITM from telling what pages you're reading, or introducing falsehoods into the content. It's not "overuse" to use HTTPS there.

* I don't know how the author's server is set up, but a 1-second increase in page load time isn't consistent with load times I've ever measured anywhere else. In fact, there's a lot of HTTPS pages where the total load time is less than what's claimed as the difference here.

* If you care about sustainable technology, you should be demanding that Apple provide updates for hardware longer, or open-source everything so that the community can. Whether or not the sites you want to visit use HTTPS, using the Internet from a system years behind on security patches is a really bad idea, and not something you should optimize for.

* The specific suggestion of disabling the redirect is exactly equivalent to a MITM attacker running sslstrip, so you're doing a big piece of the bad guy's job for him.
>The latest outing had them go back in time during season 2! And spent a significant time there. Is there any star trekking to this?

Several of the most revered Star Trek episodes ever, "City on the Edge of Forever," "Far Beyond the Stars," "Time's Arrow" as well as the end of TNG (generally well recieved by fans) involved time travel. Moral quandaries can be compelling even outside of the ready room and bridge.

I don't understand why people are so hung up on the franchise formula of "Strong captain dealing with ethical and moral quandaries in space." Those ethical and moral quandaries as presented were pathetically shallow more often than not and (thanks to the interference of people like Rick Berman) rarely challenging to any real-world establishment. Trek now is at least presenting a progressive view of a future that actually includes diversity and non heteronormative characters who aren't thinly veiled alien metaphors because God forbid our luxury space-socialist utopia offend people in the Bible belt.

But I guess old school fans just want adventure and pablum that appeals to their nostalgia and never rocks the boat. They can have it, but I personally like it when Trek takes risks, even if they fail sometimes.
I don't think so. Those are the only generation of games that can be analyzed this thoroughly. Plus, computer geeks in the future will still be interested in the fundamentals of computing. And console games are really the only piece of mainstream software whose assembly would be interesting to look at.

Granted, this is already niche content, and it will continue to be going forward. But I bet a lot of people watching those videos weren't even born when SMB came out or have even used an NES.
Not a compelling argument in the least. MITM still means ISPs can track and inject ads, regardless of how static the content is on your website. And the performance argument is completely invalid because it's only measuring total bytes, and doesn't consider HTTP/2 multiplexing.

> It should be mentioned that my personal website is also plain text based and tiny. Imagine the impact of a blog article or research paper with significantly more content.

The larger the website, the greater the improvement from using HTTP/2 (which requires TLS). And it doesn't take much data at all to offset that TLS lookup.

This post is justifying bad behavior. The only sites that can afford to remain http are neverssl.com and local development.

I got subclinical pericarditis from the vaccine booster, I’ve been taking colchicine and it helped a lot. I’m in a few long covid support groups and a lot of people there have it, and many of them don’t know they have it. It’s way easier to treat pericarditis than long covid so I try to get the word out. The pericarditis is subclinical so it didn’t show up with an echocardiogram nor MRI. Indicators did show up in blood tests. I think this low grade is easy to miss and probably results in false negatives screwing up the stats. I don’t trust doctors nor medical researchers to get statistics right as in my experience they are atrocious at them. Anecdotally, my cardiologist said he’s seeing a ton of vaccine induced subclinical pericarditis, and my local pharmacies are running out of colchicine.

It was destroying my health. But in my case it was honestly partially driven by personal choice to live rural rather than live in the town where our office was. But having made that choice at the start, 10 years in it started to become untenable.

But now in theory, at least, I don't have to make that compromise.
They already do this in their Apps, e.g. gmail at least at one piont prompted you to install chrome whenever you tried to open a link in a browser.
Hmm…. While Thomas claims to be interested in the constitution, he seems unable to understand parts of it. Such as the first amendment vs. Religion etc. and if “not in the constitution” is the basis, there’s no constitutional right to air travel, computers, electricity, …
That is a pretty weak argument for why we should sacrifice privacy. We should continue moving in the opposite direction. Ideally, within 5 years, browsers should send up warning flags whenever the user hits a website that doesn't use HTTPS.

They had to go back 20 years to find a browser that does not support TLS. Software that old is going to have other fundamental problems accessing the modern web. The amount of work necessary to make every website actually work on a browser that old is far, far greater than just supporting HTTP.
How is WhatsApp different if they get legal access to your phone? I don't see how data stored locally in WhatsApp is different than data stored on your phones email client.
I don't know if this answers your question, but my employer (engineering firm) just announced last Friday that starting July 5th being in the office Tue-Thu is mandatory. Then Sept 5th Mon-Fri is mandatory. Pre-covid there were very very few remote positions at my employer, we are going back to that I guess. I've been going in Mon-Fri anyways, so it doesn't really effect me.
I think you make some good points, but you really need to tone it down. OP is sincerely voicing an opinion that is held by a lot of us here, and it's inappropriate to spew this much anger at them and accuse them of shilling and dishonesty. As in everything, someone can disagree with you without being evil.
Yes, but again why would that suddenly mean 90% of people use it vs the reality of desktop today where they don't own 90% of the market? Why are 9 out of 10 people suddenly jumping ship because Google pushed chrome on their phone vs on their desktop PC?

> I'm confused. How is Elm's record updating syntax related to aliasing?

It isn't. The key word was "Or".

In general, the point I had in mind is that mutability is a problem only in the presence of aliasing. Elm and Rust chose two different points in the mutability+aliasing space. Elm doesn't have mutation, Rust restricts mutation when there is aliasing.

> FWIW, Elm also doesn't have a nice way to update nested record fields, and there are lens libraries in Elm to deal with the same problem.

Thanks. I didn't know that.
I think it's an extreme stretch to suggest that remote work is some sort of worker empowerment. It's literally just different. The idea that it somehow invalidates the job of middle managers is a little absurd. If anything it makes them more important and valued in an environment where communication is more sparse and man management more difficult.

More likely articles like these are just a response to the immense swell of pro-remote sentiment that's been growing over the last few years.

This article was published by a remote-only org whose product is tooling for remote teams. It's not some anti-remote hit piece.
Based on this video[0], it looks like "mini-apps" are just webviews, as everything is either .js, .css, or .wxml (html). Thus, anything that integrates with WeChat or system APIs is going through some API within the wechat binary itself which allows Apple's static analysis to inspect the API usage during App Store review.
