Hahaha wow. There are more than 5 million C++ programmers out there. Starting new C++ projects every day. I am pretty sure more new C++ projects are started every day than Rust projects. Everything (including Rust) runs on top of browsers/operating systems/drivers/compilers/VMs written in C/C++. Rust code is like a drop in the ocean compared. Maybe in 30 years that will changed? Don’t count on it.
No, we learned that they were approved at roughly the same rate as other search court orders. Investigators aren't going to spend the time making an application for a court order unless it has a very high chance of being granted.

Yea, would have been nice if the W3C actually gave us usable components, but hey you can connect your MIDI keyboard to the browser.
Perhaps may not be as big of a problem given how efficient the chip is and also the fact that the latest iPhones have huge computational power all with passive cooling. Also, iirc aliminium chassis acts as a heatsink.

> The disappearance of OS and program configurability, for example, isn't something you notice or even think about if you're not coming from a place where everything once used to be configurable.

I once became determined to repurpose one of the serial port chips in a Mac so that it sent and received at the 31.Kbps MIDI data rate. Doing that required a certain undocumented incantation with a magic value. I managed to deduce it thanks to an assembly program it took me a week to find in an old magazine. That value was sent to the chip from 'FreeBASIC' ... which could then, viola, send MIDI bytes out the port without needing external hardware.

At the time I bitched a lot about that being made so hard to do. Little did I suspect.
Any tips on recovering from this in relationships/dating?
Until it is litigated or you are charged and convicted it isn't against the law. YouTube and the entertainment industry have zero interest in your rights. Media companies make agreements between themselves. They make agreements with YouTube to avoid litigation. Larger YouTubers who make a living via YouTube don't have the motivation to band together, biting the hand that feeds you and all.

"Because copyright protection happens so easily, and lasts so long, you should assume that any work you want to use is copyrighted, unless it is very old or produced by the U.S. government." https://www.baylor.edu/copyright/index.php?id=56543 The U.S. government would have to go to YouTube and assert they produced the work in question and then sue YouTube. It doesn't help there is no clear definition how much of a work you can use before it is considered infringement. This means each claim that is made and disputed could end up in court to be decided. I don't have the solution to this. Until new laws are passed to change the situation people without the means to challenge lose.
She keeps saying "everybody's going to tell me I'm a whiner" with a ridiculous tone. She is indeed a whiner.

Not because of protesting YouTube's ridiculous copyright system, but because she uses that smug tone to talk to people who owe her nothing, and are making reasonable suggestions (like syncing with alternative platforms) for mitigating the problem.
thats exactly their point, is_active or deleted_at represents the same thing(just inverse).

However, if you DONT use an active/deleted flag, and instead do what the author suggests, I dont know the right way to support deleting said user

If you set the deleted_record table as part of a trigger on delete of other tables, you could turn on cascading delete and hope for the best. Outside of that I dont have any plan for using this with referential integrty.

It would be easy enough if you decided NOT to use referential integrity, but then you save the space of ONE user record and retain how many orphan records, making them all effectively soft deleted anyways... whats the point?

> From February to July, I've seen zero neutral news in Europe or the US: every news has to be "Ukrainians said that Russian missile strikes civil supermarket", etc. and Western officials approving this and imposing sanctions on Russia.

Maybe because in the west it’s major news when Russia tries to level Ukrainian shopping centres and other civilian infrastructure with weapons that there initially designed to take out American aircraft carriers?.

It’s hard to have ‘neutral’ news on this topic because both sources are obviously biased the difference is Russia lies nearly constantly about certain things.

The hard part is the very highly enriched uranium. To make a compact and light naval reactor you need very pure U-235. I am not allowed to even say how pure, but trust it costs obscene amounts to do so. If it could be done safely I’d be for it, but I’m not going to hold my breath.

It’s not the same. Businesses are not people. Laws which protect businesses are either a proxy to protect the people affected by businesses, or they’re illegitimate. To the extent arbitrarily taking resources from Netflix for free is in any way immoral, that moral factor is because it affects humans. Otherwise taking from Netflix is at worst neutral, because it’s an entity which exists in our imagination for purposes which are supposed to be for our benefit.

GKE user in that region, we are down.

I think it's deceptive to say it's a single zone. We have VMs across three zones, but anything stateful on zone a is stranded, we can't get the volumes back. It's not just that the zone is down, it's that services are not easy to fail out of the impacted zone or move that's the problem.

Kind on implies regional isn't good enough to secure high availability. You need multi regional deployments. Good luck with that when the bill comes due.
How about almost all domains? Everything in the world runs on top of browsers/operating systems/drivers/VMs/networks/embedded systems etc. that are written in C/C++. Not to mention that the tools used to design chips and manufacture them are also written in C/C++. No other language comes even close.
In terms of manpower, you can largely automate the sails today, though they do require maintenance. The issue is you basically need the same crew on a 20 TEU ship as a 20,000 TEU one, because you can’t safely operate with everyone asleep. Except sails scale in terms of surface vs drag scaling in part base on volume which makes mega sailing ships much more difficult.

Now these aren’t insurmountable issues on their own, but wind as supplemental power via kites or something seems like a far more viable option.

Again, not a blockchain fan. But I think it's naive to ignore the upside. I highly doubt we're doing to lose the bittorrent blockchain, even if the tech goes defunct & inactive. This is the use case the crypto-currency ponzi scheme detracted from, is the forgotten value proposition.

I dont see real incentives for people to replicate things like IPFS. Deep time storage seems socially as unaddressed now as when IPFS was new & shiny in 2015.

There's a technical possibility but in actual use there's awful decentralization: incredibly spotty replication done via very narrow curatorship or some short/medium term caching. The tech making it technically possible is insufficient for the social condition of making people want to back your bytes up. TBH IPFS- in practice- seems about like a secure/encrypted higher tech sneakernet.

The actual possibility of enduring seems flagrantly absent from any alternative I & seemingly you can think of.

North is different. Union Valley Reservoir is full. American River is high.
Security is not much of a concern. An attempt to seize the ship means you can failsafe the reactor and drop it to the bottom of the ocean. Pirates and lesser nation-states won't have the resources to recover it.
It’s not that.
> It's frustrating that everything is going/has gone mobile, because mobile sucks. ... The problem with how accessible "computing" is these days, which really means tablet and mobile, is that now everything has to be mobile first, which makes everything crappier and less configurable.

Yes, I agree that is the problem. Now both mobile and desktop computers are being made "crappier and less configurable". And computers that you cannot program, that take a long time to start, trying to work against you, etc. That is why we must make better software (especially a better web browser than the bad stuff that exists now) that isn't bad like that. That is why I do it too, and not only me, but other too hopefully will do.

Furthermore, I also hate touch screen.

> Technology is just getting worse.

Unfortunately, it is getting worse. Not only programs but also the standards, specifications, etc. They don't design computers for advanced users, but they should do. They add too many animations, DRM, telemetry, advertisement, and other stuff. The software is slow because it is badly written (but it is possible to make a faster program in C). Things that might be useful to display if you can fit on the screen are not actually displayed, instead they make it worthless display. They always put GUI, too big icons/fonts, etc. Things are not properly tested. They try to make the computer believe they know better than you and you cannot enter any good command. They try to stop you operating your computer properly. They will not make good documentation. You will have to use their badly designed software for the TV service and many other things. They design specifications badly, and insist computers to use it. HDMI is bad. USB is bad. UEFI is bad. Unicode is bad (no single character encoding will work for everything, and yet they insist that it will). HTML+CSS+JS is often bad (and they try to use it for everything, which is inappropriate). They still insist to use it, though. Things are patented and that makes it worse, too.

I think that the good design is that the end user has full control and programmability, and try not to add too many animations and other stuff like that, and ensure that it has comprehensive documentation, and don't try to believe that the user is wrong. Do not assume that the user interface is understandable, because without documentation it will not be understandable. Do not make the functions require a lot of menus to access; you can assign a key combination. I think is good design making it UNIX philosophy, is you have enough ropes to hang yourself and also a few more just in case.

One quotation from Steven J. Searle: "The sad fact of the matter is that people play politics with standards to gain commercial advantage, and the result is that end users suffer the consequences. This is the case with character encoding for computer systems, and it is even more the case with HDTV."

I am a bit saddened that Fran Blanche produced this video in the way she did. Fran is clearly, and justifiably, frustrated by the circumstances. She has every right to be. Yet claims like she owns the copyright if anybody since she owns an original reel is poorly articulated. I think Fran meant to say she may own the copyright to her transfer of the reel and she has the right to make a copy of the reel since the film is in the public domain.

The copyright situation is a mess though. Another poster said that they nope out of the idea of creating content due to stuff like this. I understand that feeling. On the other hand, their content would simply be ripped and reposted on somewhere else without some sort of technical means to enforce copyright. Either way, people who know how to abuse the system are going to abuse the system to their own benefit. There is no effective means to combat that abuse. The courts are out of reach to most people. Even a company as big as Google would have trouble handling and verifying claims. Even if they could dedicate the resources, it would probably expose them to being successfully sued in borderline cases. (Fran can point to her original reel, not everyone can do the same.)

EDIT: for those who are insisting that I am twisting Fran's words, I made it perfectly clear that she said if anybody. If you disagree with what I am saying, fine, but please don't claim that I am saying she said something she didn't because I am not.

Not allowing the alleging party to judge the response to the claim would cut down on this sort of thing. But that's not part of the DMCA so YT won't do it. They just care about avoiding liability.
Didn't see this back in March. Unsure what to feel about this. Had a F&F discount at SliceHost until they were acquired by Rackspace, moved to Linode. 14 years ago. I've had nothing but bad experiences with company takeovers in this industry.

Content ID automatically finds a copyright holder to pay with ads on your video of white noise. It's an automated system that Google built, and it's ridiculous.

This is not about one creator vs another and filing counter-claims via DMCA, this is about extra-judicial automated bureaucracies designed by Google.
Ah yes, then we will take your word for it.

>Imagine if you make airplane engines for GE as an ME, and you want a higher salary, who else are you going to go to? There's barely any companies in the country that have the capacity to make airplane engines, so there's less competition for your labor.

Sure, but what happens when you decide you're sick of a poor salary, and you learn Python and CS in your spare time and interview for Google and then quit your airplane engine job to make 3x as much working for Google? Where is GE going to get a replacement with your expertise and experience? What happens if all the engineers at GE do this?

It seems like the only reason this doesn't happen is because of inertia: the airplane engine engineers just aren't ambitious enough to leave their field for much higher pay. That doesn't seem like a good long-term strategy for a company making a critical component of a globally-important industry however.
I think, what could be called illegal is Content ID being used to actually block public domain content from being used on such terms. Restricting monitarization of said content to the point of becoming exclusive to a single party pretty much comes down to granting copyright. Especially, if this includes monetarization of unique work and effort that has gone into providing the publication of said content (e.g., digitizing from original material, editorial work, etc.)

The workflow Youtube has is pretty bizarre.

Step 1 is dispute claim.

Step 1A is the claimant choosing to release or reinstate the claim.

Step 2, if they reinstate the claim, you can "appeal".

Step 2A, the claimant can either release the claim, or file a formal DMCA notice.

Step 3, if they file a formal DMCA notice-- you can file a DMCA counter-notification.

Step 3A, if they disagree, they can sue.

I’m all for terrestrial nuclear power, but nuclear ships would need high grade uranium. At a minimum all existing nuclear ship reactors that I am aware of currently use more highly enriched uranium than a nuclear power plant. There are much safer ways to propel container ships across the world’s oceans without the rather enormous risk. I think hydrogen, methane, or any number of synthetic fuels including those derived from algae would make ore sense as stop gap measures while battery cost and density come down.

Edit: The sickness is that they earn $500k, and how much are they getting to spend on fun? Maybe $50k. Where’s the yachts, hookers and blow? Work life balance doesn’t exist at $500k, so most of us in the world are screwed as we get a lot less $ than that. Meanwhile comments are dissing them, often for not saving enough, like that’s the point of living huh? What are they actually getting for their work? Nothing much they want, mostly just surviving.

> That's 100k invested per year

Not quite: you are assuming the $60k is all principal, when if they have 20% paid then principal is 40k saved per year. The article was at low interest, whereas today 1.2M$ mortgage at 5.5% would now cost $66k per year in interest (until mortgage paid down more) and a house costs more - mortgage more like $120k today.

What is weird is that you would think it would be easy for them to save say $250k per year, but that doesn’t look to be easy. Both working means large costs for childcare.

Also there is four of them, so although they need 1 house at present, the four of them will need more houses in the future, so they are potentially shorting the housing market a little (and needs some expected outlay for divorce - at least 20% risk).

There was no separate line item to help finance the kids at uni either.
