The extra-territoriality part is interesting. It's still part of the post-Brexit hangover. GDPR got enforced globally because a) it covered 500 million rich europeans so you could not ignore that market b) it was the first and not insane.

This is insane - and worse the UK is just, just small enough that you could if you wanted, turn off the service to those geo-IPs and carry on.

I wonder. If any non-English speaking country tried it, it would almost be guaranteed
Worse than not being completely "language independent" sometimes LLVM's Intermediate Representation is not well defined at all.

This is most common where C++ (as the main consumer of these semantics) doesn't define certain semantics, or, the semantics it standardises are just impossible to optimise so nobody really delivers them (ie they don't always work in your C++ programs when you compile them with actual modern C++ programs)

As I understand it an example when it comes to aliasing would be what happens if somebody typed a bunch of ASCII into a prompt and then the program... uudecodes the ASCII to get an integer, and begins just using that as a pointer to rummage around in some data structure.

Is that... OK? Obviously you can't do this in safe Rust, but even unsafe Rust says er, no, that's definitely not allowed (it might actually work but it isn't OK). But the ISO C++ standard says that so long as the ASCII string happened, by some cosmic accident, to be a "valid" address for a pointer after this transformation this works fine even if it now magically aliases a pointer we otherwise had no reason to believe could be aliased.

If we allow this, many optimisation opportunities vanish. So, LLVM doesn't allow it. Our "correct" C++ pointer uudecoding program doesn't work. However, a blanket prohibition blows up real tricks that people actually do, such as hiding flag bits in address values (unlike uudecoding ASCII inputs to make pointers). So LLVM provides behaviour that's not formally standardised anywhere but can be thought of as something akin to PNVI-ae (Provenance Not Via Integers - Address Exposed). If the program "exposes" addresses from pointers, then the compiler assumes it could see those addresses "magically" appear from somewhere else (e.g. a uuencoded string) and so it must choose optimisations accordingly.

One day perhaps C++ will actually document PNVI-ae or some similar scheme in the ISO standard. That day is not today (nor next year, this will not happen in C++ 23) but meanwhile you've got the problem that, in unsafe Rust you actually get whatever arbitrary semantics that were delivered by LLVM. Since they're not just "This is what C++ does" but only "This is how C++ works in Clang" that's even less portable.

As I wrote, this only burns unsafe Rust. If you don't write unsafe and just depend on other people's stuff to use that as necessary (e.g. obviously the standard library is full of unsafety) then it's not your problem to fix this when it breaks. But it sure would be nice if the people writing unsafe code would have more certainty on this sort of topic.

Rust is experimenting with "Strict Provenance" rules to see what happens if, instead, it makes its own provenance rules and dispenses with waiting for C and C++ programmers to actually decide what the rules are in their languages. https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ptr/index.html#strict-provenan...

Not true in the company I worked for at the time. We had many minorities, women, and even some up into their 50s.
GNU is pretty clear:

To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer.” We sometimes call it “libre software,” borrowing the French or Spanish word for “free” as in freedom, to show we do not mean the software is gratis.

I'm sure they reserve the extra tough prison cells for people who simultaneously commit identity theft and impersonate senators, and I'd certainly not advocate anyone commit crimes. However, I do think that if someone were to steal identities of sufficiently many senators and house representatives, we'd see incentives massively re-aligned within a couple of weeks.

>they should be forced to advertise them as rentals or leases and not something the consumer is buying.

Very much this!

And furthermore the prices need to be significantly lower as well. No one pays to rent or lease an automobile what they would pay to purchase it. No one pays to rent or lease an apartment what the sum total cost of the building is.

If these companies want to pretend this is all just a rental then they need to accept no one will be willing to pay purchasing prices for those rentals.

If you feel the spike protein is the source of the problem, then getting covid is way worse as it guarantees way more spike protein along with all the other detritus of viral infection. And the risk of the cytokine storm if the immune system overreacts. There have been a few top level us athletes who had to lose a year due to cardiac inflammation from covid, and since omicron vaccination does not prevent infection.

So it’s back to the with vs. from argument they’ve been using since covid appeared. A significant fraction of the world has had covid at some point and unfortunately that doesn’t seem to protect against getting it again.
> the inability for "the experts" to balance covid against the rest of human existence is one of the greatest fuckups of our time

Fish is high on my personal satiety index, because I didn't eat much of it growing up so never developed a taste. Result is that when served fish I eat a little to be nice but don't enjoy it at all. That'd certainly help me eat less.

Oddly, I love calamari and sushi.
I worked on this product for a year back in the day. The cool thing about MS ESP was that we used the FSX Engine for the "1000 foot experience". Everything looked great from far above, but not close by. The solution to this was that MS Train Simulator 2 made tons of improvements for the "1 foot experience". The idea was to include a "world editor" with world-wide geospatial data, too. https://youtu.be/GXzE1Yb54xU?t=406 The physics models of the planes and the trains were great, but obviously to be a generic simulator you needed to include physics engines for other types of objects like Cars. So we grabbed the physics engine of Forza and included it there. These things combined were honestly beautiful - and add to that the backwards compatibility with all the 3rd party FSX plugins/adds ons. Bummer that this is exactly when the iPhone came out and the cloud-based strategies were taking over "classic" enterprise software. Re-org and bye bye FSX/TrainSim2/ESP. I had left before this happened, but was really a bummer not to see the full potential of ESP :-(
Yeah, I think the idea was that as long as Apple's DRM services are still up, your backed up movies will still function even if they are taken off the store. But I am not 100% sure about whether that is/was true.

As you mentioned, iTunes music hasn't had and DRM in many years.

Still, TV streamers don't really have significant storage space, so that's kind of a problem for the average person.

Since Apple renamed iTunes and turned it into a Music-only app, my movie library seems to have moved to the Apple TV app's "Library" section.

I chose a movie and clicked the cloud download icon. The movie downloaded, and now it just has a checkbox in the interface. I don't seem to have any other control from within the TV app (it doesn't even let me delete it off my system from that interface, and I don't have a lot of confidence that this app is guaranteeing that the app will remain locally downloaded without intervention).

Once I clicked the download icon, I notice that the file is located in ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Media/Movies/[Movie Name]/[Movie File Name].m4v

Presumably, I could back up that file manually on my own and it would work even if taken off the iTunes Store (Hopefully?), but that it might not work if Apple went out of business.
I'm having a hard time squaring your comment with the wikipedia article that you seem to agree with. Ulbricht wasn't convicted on murder for hire charges and the time he was charged on a murder for hire thing that charge was dropped.

You seem to be saying that the reason he wasn't charged/convicted is because nobody was actually murdered. That seems hard for me to believe because the state would have known nobody was actually murdered when they were writing the indictment (which alleges the murder for hire plot) or when they were bringing the original charges.

It's also true that agents involved in the plot, the agent Ulbricht thought he was buying the hit from specifically, were arrested and convicted for stealing from the silk road. I think it's way more plausible that the government decided not to go in to the extent of the corruption of their officers at trial, because it would provide a good reason to think about what other government dishonesty their might be, rather than the government deciding that they can't charge attempted murder for hire because nobody died.

The problem with flattening the two absence cases into an enum is composability and generality because it forces the "outer null" case to intrude into concrete types. Say you have a key value mapping Map<String, T> and you represent changes to this map as Map<String, Option<T>>. One day T itself is Option<Int> so you end up Map<String, Option<Option<Int>>. If you want to use e.g. Option2 for that latter case you lose generality.

Where the "double absence" issue comes up in practice, it's usually in a context where it does make sense to represent and handle the first type of absence separately from the second type.
Indeed, he deserves to be in jail not for building the Silk Road, or running it, or potentially even for engaging in drug trafficking-- he deserves to be there for attempted murder. There's no ambiguity there, he tried to have people killed to protect his business.
I do this, but usually more by accident than anything else— I lane swim (1hr) or do a bike ride (1.5-2hrs) first thing in the morning before I've had much of a chance to eat anything, and then afterwards have a big protein shake or some bacon and eggs.

I feel like I'd be prone to cramps if I tried push myself after having eaten much.
The main thing I have in mind is machine learning algorithms that optimize for engagement. Those aren't necessarily biased in favor of a specific political position, but tend to amplify rumors over well-sourced reporting, demagoguery over reasoned debate, and often malicious false claims.

Off the top of my head, I don't have a good way to differentiate those algorithms in legal terms. As another comment points out, even sorting chronologically has an editorial effect of sorts, but these things are different and I know it when I see it. Perhaps someone wiser than me has an unambiguous definition.
Exactly, that's the genius of Indian cuisine: making otherwise bland ingredients (chickpeas, lentils, potatoes, spinach, etc.) taste amazing. I just polished off a simple rice, spinach and tuna dinner. Very tasty thanks to some sprinkling of misc. spices. I could swap out the rice for potatoes and it would probably even healthier.
I would guess they are dependencies. For example you would want to start the database server before you started the application. If the application started with no databases, it would do some funky things and may end up in a weird state.
Convenience stores also generally have a markup versus grocery stores. That they had a markup above that was always a bit questionable. My recollection is that over time they switched to some more niche candies, things you couldn't necessarily find down the street and so the apples-to-oranges problem gave them a bit of an excuse.
B12 is a pretty important one if you want to avoid the title of section 1 of this article though.

I have zero sympathy for the yellow cab industry. None.

I have a lot of negative feelings about Uber, and I would never work there myself as a SWE, but these feelings pale in comparison to my experiences with yellow cabs (NYC bias here).

I've had my partner be threatened (the usual pay cash/credit card machine broken or "better be a good tip"), cabs drive right pass after asking where you're going, scammed. I've had female friends molested by drivers.

Sure, all this could happen (and some have) in an Uber. But I'd bet dollars to donuts that Uber can track down the driver must easier than your usual taxi driver. (Who the hell remembers the medallion numbers?)

TK is an asshole, and I'm no fan of assholes (e.g., screw Apple products). But if he was the price we have to paid to upend the yellow cab industry, then I for one am willing to pay it.
Tell me your biggest pain in working remotely
I keep noticing this, and then keep reminding myself that it's cliche for seniors like me to see adults as kids. But then I watch, say, an episode of Dragnet, and the feeling comes back. Jack Webb was 35 in 1955, in that show's prime. He looks normal for the times, but so much older, or perhaps mature is a better word, than a modern 35 year old. Multiply this observation by a large number of cases.

You could test the theory with photos of class graduations and reunions for various years, with faces extracted, normalized and pasted into a standard setting. I'd bet it's real.
See upthread, where I took the time to pull up a bunch of other drug kingpin indictments to find similar charging structures, and trivially found one (I'm staring at it, too). I'm sorry they didn't charge the murder-for-hire scheme the way you'd have preferred them to, but they certainly did charge it, and the Reason article you're citing is plainly, obviously, factually, irrefutably wrong. The article says "Those charges were no part of what Ulbricht was actually tried and sentenced for." Obviously, they were.

You are going to have a hard time getting me to take an opinion piece that commits a factual error that refutes its premise more seriously than the actual source documents that contradict it.
Nice catch, corrected the title.
This is a fruiting chamber, not a mushroom growing device. Fruiting is by far the most trivial part of mushroom growing. You still need to sterilize a growth media, innoculate it with spores or mycelium, grow it out without contamination, and mix into a substrate long before it enters this device. Or buy their overpriced pre-packaged, pre-grown substrates.

As a fruiting chamber, it does nothing that a $2 plastic Sterilite shoebox cannot do. They already self-regulate humidity and CO2 when set up correctly. Use your favorite search engine and look for Shoebox Tek.

I've seen a few mentions of Uncle Ben's pre-cooked rice Tek on here. Using UB for mushroom cultivation is the mycological equivalent of programming in Visual Basic or writing a database in Excel. It's a technique for uneducated new users which is technically inferior, and in the long run way more expensive, than learning to do it the correct way. But it uses components that users have easy access to, so it is irrationally popular.

I've tried my own hand at automating fruiting chambers, using a RasPi with CO2/humidity/temperature sensors (Sensiron SCD30), misters, and fans. Nothing but a pain, didn't increase yields, too much data leads to too much tinkering and tweaking. The best thing you can do for a mushroom grow is to leave it alone.
A self-employed accountant once told me that you take your hourly wage and triple it. 1/3 is your salary, 1/3 is for business expenses and taxes, 1/3 is for when you don't have work.

The lucrative part is when you get more than 1 FTE of work and start hiring employees. Which was my experience working for a small consulting firm. I made decent money with my 1/3 salary, but my bosses made $$$$ because we priced for 1/3 downtime but were constantly flush with work.

Good luck!

rustc_codegen_gcc will solve the same problem. I would expect it to be possible to do LTO and CFI across rustc_codegen_gcc and gcc-compiled C or C++ code.

Also, having to ship the product on physical media and fast internet not being a thing meant that software would actually have a "finished" state. Today nothing is ever finished, everything is in eternal beta and constantly updated for no good reason.

The problem with that measurement is that top GDPs fall off quickly. While the UK is the sixth, it's only around 3-4% of the global GDP, and while I can't find values from the same year at the moment, likely has a lower GDP than California. The EU is around 18% of the global GDP; the US, China, and EU together make up around 65% of global GDP, and each of them has at least triple the GDP of any other individual country.

The definitions and terms that the general public and law enforcement use are the result of misinformation thanks to the war on drugs. This is something we need to correct because it contributes to the stigma attached to drug users which prevents them from seeking help.

It doesn't matter if some people can agree on something when that concept is objectively and demonstrably not only false but systemically harmful

PS alcohol is more harmful than heroin physiologically. Alcohol would be one of the 'hardest' if we were going by physiological and societal risk

Editing to add: we can't not include alcohol and nicotine in the general category of drugs. They are undeniably drugs and anyone who tells you otherwise is a victim of the previously mentioned misinformation

This. The mental gymnastics involved in people pivoting from "the justice system is awful, especially the way they've treated poor little Ulbricht" to "the only possible standard for judging Ulbricht's character and intentions is the decisions the justice system made or didn't make" is Olympian.

I have never understood why it was not called "Liberty Software" since the beginning. The confusion disappears, liberty exists in English as a sibling to "libre" from Spanish and French and everybody in the United States, where the term originally comes from, and the rest of the English-speaking world understands what it means. As for the grammar argument, you can--sort of--force `Liberty` to be an adjective (think "Liberty City").
