> It doesn't. That's the entire basis for my remark that I'm far more concerned about things like that than the threat of programs monitoring/faking IO among GUI-based apps...

But there is no difference between a strictly CLI app and a GUI one. Even if you ran everything in a sandbox, under X they could still do every nefarious thing. It would be like sealing one hole of a broken bucket, while water will still leak out on the other ones. Without GUI sandboxing we can’t even start fixing the security question on Linux desktop.
The idea is also that pressing the power button will also help discharge some capacitors as the power-supply tries to supply power. Not sure to which degree this works to make things safer, but trying it won't hurt.

(Note this will _not_ make a powersupply safe to open up)
So we have no idea what the reasons behind these operations are, and yet people criticize them? That's foolishness.

Well, the replies and downvotes certainly augment the foolishness. Assuming operations in Africa are for keeping countries repressed rather than promoting freedom and justice for those who can't fight for themselves, etc.
The US is not innocent, but through their actions and 100 years of selflessly policing the world it has more good to boast about than any of you. At least it doesn't just sit behind a keyboard judging others and pretending self-righteousness and moral superiority; it demonstrates it.

I would prefer the US now focuses on homeland issues, but making your assumptions and wrong judgment is not something I will do.
I've found concentrates way too strong for me. I've had conversations with friends where we both say we miss the cheap weak stuff. I've actually moved to microdosing concentrates. Using a tiny amount, no more than the head of a toothpick, gives me more control over how strong it is.

The other thing you can do is switch to concentrates. This also makes it easier to quit because you know how much you're taking in so you can slowly taper down.
Zig's author also publicly attacked V

There was a lot of jealousy when V was announced

Looks like the ones who need to self-reflect is Zig, they still don't have a self hosted compiler, meanwhile V compiles itself in less than a second
I'm in agreement with you.

I know the people who were laid off were passionate about what they were working on - and this was a big disruption to their life.

But when I see some of these layoffs, my immediate thought is:

1.) Who is this company and how did they have so many people?

2.) OK, that industry experienced a COVID boon (edtech, mortgages)

3.) Taking advantage of others laying off people to get rid of poor performers

Netflix laying off employees; I'm sorry, but Netflix is mostly a catalog of garbage at an ever increasing cost, with legitimate competitors at this point.
Is this really a complaint that a single, well-established Russian ad company got the same information from Google that they would give to any US company with an email address?

This is part of the cognitive dissonance that insists that Russia has the most effective intelligence services in the world, that can manipulate elections at will and subsume every US social movement to spread its propaganda, but is too stupid and helpless to create a US front company.
Same for toilet paper but we flush it anyway. Everyone in this thread is suddenly zero-waste zealots.

You need about 24 volts to overcome the skins resistance. Most PCs use some combination of 3, 5, and 12 volt rails so you should be fine, as long as you avoid licking anything.

Edit: Some PSUs have -12 +12 rails, I suppose if you were really unlucky and grabbed both at once the 24v differential could give you a zap.
The thing about voting with your money is that rich people get a lot of votes that way while the poor get neglected.

In other words, it's antidemocratic.

Believing that they are uncorrupt by the government secret services is naive.
Everything in Russia of any value has eyes of secret govt service on it. If the state men ask you for cooperation, you cannot say no, or your life as a person will be destroyed, and you (as an owner) lose the business too (multiple examples in all areas of technology, science and industry).
> The conservative justices' ruling limits the government's ability to combat climate change while also hamstringing our democracy.

There's no point in discussing such an article. The Supreme Court does not exist to push progressive political agendas along, nor does it exist to enact social change of any kind. It's only role is interpreting the United States' founding documents. The article assumes a purpose for the Court that should never have existed to begin with. In other words, these recent decisions are not political in and of themselves, but are mere reversions to the mean.
Well, it's not about that. It's that one of the reasons the Netherlands never legalized is that the rest of Europe didn't. So we were afraid that we'd become a place where international criminals come to produce massive amounts of weed legally to then export it illegally. When countries surrounding us start legalizing, we have no reason not to.

Since growing weed is purely done by criminals right now, we're also afraid to legalize because legal weed farms might get issues with criminal involvement or threat because the criminals lose a huge income source. If we don't legalize however when Germany does, we'll then get a bunch of trafficking from Germany to the Netherlands.

We're in a bit of a pickle and it'll be interesting to see what our Christian/Liberal/Progressive government will come up with. I expect them to just ignore it and continue by doing pretty much nothing until it's a real problem.
It’s not the smell of the company that has significantly reduced my usage. For me it’s just the fact I cannot state any opinion at all because of the controversy it might cause. It’s just not fun anymore. The stakes got to high.

All FB is good for now is an occasional cat or kid post. And even the kid pictures I don’t really feel comfortable with either because of the paper trail I would be leaving for my kid.
In the UK, as far as the Health & Safety Executive goes, who are the people who will be hauling you up in court if your screwups cause injury or death, they go to great lengths to discourage working live if at all possible.

That said, it is sometimes necessary. I've replaced a circuit protective device in a live electrical panel in a commercial setting before. As you point out, avoiding distraction is a very important factor. That means no chit-chat, no-one overlooking and critiquing what you're doing, noise to a minimum, all of the tools you'll need prepared up-front, etc.
I think the people replying to you to nitpick are missing the forest for the trees.

You (and many people) have to wait until university to learn this stuff if you didn't seek it out yourself (how-to's and electives in school). This kind of knowledge should be taught at a young age to demystify it.

A few hours in uni (and how many people never even go), to learn life-saving information

When I did appliance repair microwaves were treated as bombs. You didn't test your components live, you always unplugged first, etc.

Still walked into another tech working on one (cabinet-mounted up high), with the cover off, barely on a wobbly stove-dolly and his expensive Fluke multimeter out with leads in hand.

I noticed the plug still lifted up into the cabinet so I peeked in and sure enough it was plugged in.

Big red warning signs on the power cable, the covers inside and the cover outside all had warnings. Dude had been through the same training I had, and still thought it was a good idea. "I'll just stay away from the high side",he said.

edit to add this microwave had an external fuse. All you had to do was unscrew it and check the fuse inside- which was bad. He hadn't had to do any of the stuff he'd done prior to my arrival. They'd had an electrical surge when the power had gone out and the fuse had caught it. This tech had been on the job longer than I. end edit

Even people trained and with knowledge make mistakes and sometimes are just plain stupid.

People without knowledge can be dangers to themselves and others.

Texas had a rash of house explosions a few years ago from people raiding copper and power wires from empty houses with live gas lines.

I think the answer is educating and many people as possible, from as young an age as possible.
On the contrary. The US government has a lot less power to control private companies. They do try and even succeed sometimes, but it's nothing even close to the total command and control Russia and China regularly exert.

Even beyond a general hosting the Olympics more often than not is a bad idea, as I vaguely recall there was a bunch of particular screwiness related to the planned Boston bid as it related to the Olympic village among other things.
The "nothingburger" you quoted is a single word you took from a reply chain in which amedvednikov explained the 800 byte "memory leak" was actually just GC overhead and expected.

So it wasn't a memory leak, it is GC overhead, hence it being labeled as a "nothingburger".

Same. It's probably a generational thing, with the split at maybe 20 or something where video became both searchable and trivial in terms of bandwidth.

But, to be fair, the Google-as-front-door internet has become totally useless for these types of tasks as well. Those wiki-style pages with huge walls of text offering nonsense advice are a plague.
Does anyone who used to be a meat eater and switched to the plant based meat alternatives like impossible burger actually believe that they are similar?

I’m attempting to go vegetarian. Prior to my switch, I used to consume large amounts of meat (partially because I enjoy the taste, and partially because I lift weights often and the protein is easy) but man oh man those plant based alternatives are just nowhere near real meats. So much so that they’re not even worth it: I’d much rather opt for something like tofu or a protein shake because atleast they’re not trying to tell me that they’re meat.

How does Facebook’s share offering meet the definition of robbery?

That Zuckerberg was selling a product with such high demand and so little supply that he was able to sell at a very high price does not qualify as Zuckerberg robbing others. It is not even bread for a starving person, it is equity to chase returns.

4/22 F1 races are in 'dictatorships'. Two of chose races have existed for many years (10-20 years). Doesn't seem like there's been a rush to dictatorships based on that.

Apart from Qatar (and arguably Russia) World Cup's, including the one after Qatar don't appear to have been held in dictatorships at all.
I had no idea KoTH made that joke, too. I was raised by vegetarians and that's always what we called the meatless hot dogs. They were...not good.
Yes and: The pedantic nature of our adversarial system really bothers me. The focus on very narrow circumstances and edge cases. It prevents reaching reasonable outcomes.

There are always dilemmas and paradoxes. The proper job of the Court is to find the middle path. Consider the whole system and strike a balance. Arbitrate an acceptable consensus.

And that requires mitigating a decision's downsides.

That was the approach of the German Courts. In addition to proscribing the rules around abortion, they also put into place structures to reduce the need for abortions, improving the health and well being of all women and children.

So reasonable. Sounds like heaven.
I had a similar experience in completely different circumstances. I was hiking in the mountains with my dad and some friends when a storm cloud rolled over us. It wasn't raining yet, but one of us noticed that if he raised a metal hiking pole above his head there was a tingling feeling. We all were trying it when my dad caught up and said "what are you doing you idiots, drop those poles, crouch down, and start praying".

Thankfully there were no strikes, and after a couple of minutes the cloud had passed. Electricity is dangerous!

Notion does a lot of things right, but it's hardly going to be a 10/10 for me whilst they don't fix the performance, it's pretty awful, idk about the Mac native app but at least the web and "native" Windows app it feels very unresponsive, and I heard it's similar in mobile.
The v2048 webassembly game demo crashed not just Chrome browser but my entire IPHone SE causing it to reboot. I reproduced this twice now.
Right. The same site from which this is taken shows ~400k open tech positions. That ratio is pretty decent.

Didn't Elon just say how Tesla's software needs more work? How is he going to do that without software engineers? Is Tesla even laying off software people or other employees? As a model 3 owner, the mobile app sucks, the in-car UI/UX which was cutting edge is now falling behind, let's not talk about auto-pilot/self-driving. They should be desperate for better software people.

The one common thing about "overvalued" companies is that they either need to show strong growth or their stock is going to be decimated. Management often looks at headcount as proxy of growth (I'd argue that's not always correct but that's a different question). It's extremely dangerous for the stock price of these "overvalued" companies to do massive layoffs both in term of further hurting the short term and a big impact on the long term. If they have plenty of cash they can and should be looking forward. That said this can be a reasonable excuse to offload some lower performing employees or adjust some priorities.
I’m just talking about business logic and data structures. It seems fine to want to not have bugs in principle!

Though to your point when we’re talking about 8-bit microprocessors the amount of complications that could even be placed. I just feel like it’s totally normal to feel lacking when writing/reading certain kinds of code in C.
I wonder the same. Is it actually technical talent, or is it other functions like sales, marketing, recruiting etc?

Right. People learn the code language and learn that others lie, then look to other observations (e.g., insider word from friendly executives, market reports, etc.) to determine the truth. In the end, people are laid off anyway, except now they've learned to mistrust those in authority.
In Indonesia the vast majority of everything -- population, wealth, power, infrastructure, development etc -- is concentrated on the single island of Java, which is about the size and population of Japan. On Java basically everybody speaks Indonesian (if often as one of several languages), and the vast majority are culturally Javanese & Muslim. Yet, compared to Japan, it would be hard to describe Java as a success story, and it's quite clearly both poorer and developing more slowly than its neighbors.

> I migrated to Australia (again) recently and the diet here is pretty British too

I seriously think this misrepresents what most Aussie's put on their fork (or more likely their chopsticks). Go into any shopping mall food court, out of 20 offerings maybe 3 will be the McKFCKing chains, there will be a very multinational salad bar with a roast meat side, a juice bar, and then 2 or 3 Mediterranean style, a Mexican, and maybe 10 Asian (3 styles of Chinese, Thai, Viet, Korean, Sushi and a few fusion style). The final seafood will do your Pop's Fish and Chips but also a gazillion crustacea and molluscs. Supermarkets are full of international food sections, fruit and veges that just wouldn't be available 30 years ago.

Definitely 50 years ago it was very much plain lamb chop and 3 veg, but anyone under 40 almost certainly will be eating very multiculturally.
I program my Emacs for very basic stuff, but very specialized for projects. For other developers (even who use VSCode) it's black magick. I think Emacs has also a culture of tinkering.

The idea that democracies aren't interested in hosting major sporting events isn't based in reality.

Well — so is an empty room, because there is no air to breathe.

Pretty much everything is dangerous in some form. You can die from excessive water ingestion. You can die falling from a bicycle.

I don't think blanket statements like yours are helpful in actually making things safer. Safety low-voltage electrical systems are designed to be safe - not perfectly safe, but comparably safe to other ambient risks of life. We can't bubble-wrap everything. There is no 100%, only a question of how many nines you want after the dot on 99%.

But regardless, the videos at issue are quite obviously not in the "99% safe" category and YouTube's behavior is egregiously inacceptable.
> Places that make things that people want.

Should the null hypothesis be that all languages deserve equal praise & blame and thus equal amounts of negative & positive critique?

Maybe this language deserves more criticism. Or people are biased against it. Could be either explanation, or something else. But there ain’t just one single possibility.
Do these have cost savings over a budget-series 32-bit MCU, eg using Cortex-M0? For example, STM32G0 is very cheap (~$1-4 USD depending on variant and quantity), and has a number of peripherals.

My guess: 8-bit MCUs are used for high-production run, minimal cost uses where the MCU does one specific task, probably in a network with other MCUs. In these cases, they could offer cost savings, even over an M0/M0+.
If this is a reaction to the Fed raising rates, the layoffs aren't necessary, but by and large, these companies put short term gains above all else, which is why they are doing it.

Yup. As a trivial example, the US neither has a "misinformation control agency" like Roskomnadzor, nor requires companies to implement real-time monitoring+censorship of restricted language into their communication products (a la China [1]).

Comparisons between these tyrannical governments and the US fall somewhere between "ignorant" and "willfully deceitful".
