Vely statements are created to generate safe code that will take care of memory issues you mentioned. It's like using a library that does something for you safely, except that Vely provides an interface that is more flexible and easier.

The trick is for Vely to be rich enough to provide the functionality that's typically needed. That is its goal. I hope it's far enough along to be useful, and with time it will get even more so.

Generally, the memory used by Vely statements is created by Vely and you don't have to free it, in fact you shouldn't, it will be freed automatically, even if those pointers are lost or overwritten. The approach is to drastically minimize using C's allocation, and do that only when absolutely necessary, which for most applications should be never.

However, you can still write any C code that does horrible things with memory. Vely exists so you don't have to. The idea is to use Vely to write code that you might otherwise write in pure C and have those issues.

It's like saying "don't worry about gun control because car accidents kill way more people right now".
> They had choose as economy minister one crazy old man that already had prepared a plan to exit from euro in one weekend. Luckily for us, the president Mattarella stopped it.

That "crazy old man" (Paolo Savona) is an economist, academic, previously minister for the economy and he is now the CONSOB president, so trust me he is not crazy, he has a better CV than both of us combined, it's just that you disagree and your view of him is overly simplistic. Furthermore I don't see what right the reactionary Mattarella had to veto him, but that's another story.

Nevertheless, even with the best intentions no party/government has the right standing and foreign support to leave Europe succesfully, even the yellow-green government didn't have any actual chance. If we try, the best we can hope for is a scenario a la Tsipras' Greece.

That's why I don't believe there's any chance that Meloni will attempt something like this, and even if she promises Italexit and a majority of Italians votes her for it, the reactionary Mattarella will stop it. No worries, Italy is a democracy only as long as people vote "correctly", and by correctly I mean in a way that doesn't scare the markets.

While I'm totally on board with you on the principle that a website should inform the browser what is, not how to show it, that particular site is hardly the place for this discussion...

They can be 'successful' in any 'normal' measure.

The problem is big public corporations always have to grow, they can completely shatter all expectations for profit then two years later earn a little bit less than they did before, by any normal measure of success, you'd take that, you'd say the company was a run away success and if this was you personally you'd understand that overall you'd done fantastic, but the market doesn't like that. It needs endless growth.

The problem you have, the better you do, eventually you run out of customers, so the things you can do to keep growing mean 1) releasing new product lines, 2) adding subscription services 3) Getting current customers to upgrade / replace there devices.

There is little incentive to make headphones that last longer, although I'm not sure we even have the battery tech at the moment anyway. I love my airpods, but it is somewhat annoying that headphones have now become an item you have to replace every few years, just like everything else now.

The one saving grace in this market, which is the built-in protection in capitalism for this kind of thing, is the market is flooded with so many brands, so once this is technically solved, hopefully others will come to market without this problem, hopefully forcing apple to follow suit.
Similar for me, they recently? added the ability to upload from the desktop web browser so I only upload using this method now
I guess you could say that. Quite a few comparisons here, and none really wrong as it's all in the eye of a beholder. Vely's main goal is to give you building blocks for general purpose application development, especially including web applications.
The way I see it: Whatever happens, the system will get abused, and so, I weigh the potential abuses along with the potential benefits. With remote attestation, you put a lot of control in the hands whoever controls the "remote", making the situation very asymmetrical, and so, ripe for centralized abuse. For example, with centralized trust systems, a leak of the signing keys are devastating for the system. For an example, see the DVD key leak:

Followed the link to the Miss Excel story, it's pretty wild overall, but this just stood out to me:

> whenever I run a sale, it’s usually $297 typically, but when you cut it in half, it looks nice at $149

When asked why her courses were priced at a 'weird' number like 297. That's just wild coming from someone who self-reportedly makes up to 6 figures a day teaching people how to use software for basic arithmetic.

Free Excel tip: use =ISEVEN() to check whether a number will halve to a whole number.
I’m getting flashbacks of the dubai palm island when they were constructing it. Everyone was wondering why, and who would even live there. But they don’t care, these places are basically like NFTs, they make so much money selling spots that it does not matter.
It's also super similar to the dystopian cyberpunk of the 1980s. With the added dimension that it's ruled by an absolute monarch who presently deploys moral police to stop outrageous things like women stepping outside the house without male relatives accompanying never mind outrageous capital crimes like protest, journalism or homosexuality, which is the sort of society you really don't want to have smart autonomous systems monitoring everything. And a petrostate, so theoretical eco-credentials are going to be taken with a pinch of salt.

The actually built utopian housing and retail projects of the 1960s are widely regarded as dystopian in most Western countries too...

It's mainly a European pandemic. During the 14th century CE when the Black Death occurred, China and India were the two biggest and richest empires with the most literacy in the world. The probability that such significant event was not properly recorded is very low. Most of the Asian countries' history that we know today including Japan are known from the ancient and later Chinese writings [1].

To me it kinda made sense. A beach front single family properties. Suburbs are a thing so why not one even more upscale version.

The world however was lot more questionable.
Stuff like AutoHotKeys is far slower than a multi-threaded bot driving the protocol directly, and spam is all about speed/volume, so in practice if spammers are reduced to that it's a big win.

Gmail actually does rely on various forms of "anti cheat" to control spam, including obfuscated code that detects attempts to automate the browser. That doesn't help for inbound mail but it helps a lot to stop people sending spam from Gmail.
The system needs some sort of pressure to force the government to work leaner.

Currently there is no reason for them to be conscious about that when every moment of my life incurs a taxable response not to mention their response to me even forgetting to pay amounts as paltry as $1000 is utterly excessive.

Funny the amount of effort they put into that yet how much effort is being put into keeping spending in check.
You should be fired if your automation is breaking 10% of the time.

All I'm saying is that the true costs of manual work usually isn't accounted for correctly. I see these costs spiralling into so much wasted work that it starts incurring more and more risk. Preference for gradual decay over Big Bang collapses isn't nessecarily rational, people tend to prefer living next to coal plants than nuclear plants despite the fact they're far far far more likely to die living next to the coal plant. It is in fact that irrational bias which needs to be resisted.
Or assassinations.

Pluto (Greek: Πλούτων Plouton, "giver of wealth", Pluton in French and German) the most common name for the classical ruler of the underworld. Plouton was one of several euphemistic names for Hades, described in the Iliad as the god most hateful to mortals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluto_(mythology)
Hmm, I guess this argument makes sense for the more hippie-oriented types, but as an urbanite the idea of having the convenience of a big city without the overcrowded downsides has me downright drooling.

I go camping once a year to connect with the environment; I wouldn't want to spend the 360-ish other days that way.
> a country built by illegally stealing other peoples land

That would be all of them? Even if you ignore illegally I’m not aware of a sovereign state that was settled by people who were there first settlers and has continuity of government.
This is a great example, and feel the concept has "clicked" with me because of it. Thank you!
Occasional mtm user here. I'm in no way associated with the original author of mtm, but several of his other projects are worth pointing out as well. A nice focus on simplicity.

An updated version of Plan 9's sam text editor for Unix: https://github.com/deadpixi/sam

tine, a clone of AmigaDOS ED editor: https://github.com/deadpixi/tine

libtmt, a tiny terminal emulation library (as I understand, this is the core of mtm as well): https://github.com/deadpixi/libtmt

and the eregex regular expressions library: https://github.com/deadpixi/ergex

EDIT: Also worth noting is tty8, another tiny terminal multiplexer. All it does is provide 8 virtual terminals and have 3 keybindings for control: https://github.com/dimkr/tty8

Mein Kampf is not banned in my country, I can buy it, and I think everybody should be able to read it.

You cannot defend against something you don't understand.

Reading it (or the little red book), you will notice there is nothing incredible about it.

It's a good way to understand the banality of evil.

It's a good way to see what currently in our society echoes it: we are not freed from evil, it can come back any time.

And the "push on unsuspecting children" narrative is worn out. Nobody push such dangerous book on children unless already twisted. Nobody ever told me "read it, it's good for you". Everybody always said: "dangerous book, read it with history in mind", if they ever talked about it.

We push Harry Potter on kids, not Mein Kampf.
Anything that prevents me from modding or cheating in my single player games is anathema to me. And companies like Activision, Ubisoft and Rockstar would love a hardware-based system that takes control away from gamers.
Its not that hard, the core of programming is the code-debug-fix cycle.
That is something people can take with them no matter the job or the programming language. Pretty much comes down to where to put break point, print statements or how to setup traceable logging when working in multi services landscape.

Knowing this cycle well you're already effective when starting a new job.
Want to start even faster keep your tools limited and multi platform, lets just say your tool set shouldn't exceed a post-it note using big letter sizes.

The rest is domain knowledge something you will pick up over the coming months or years from colleagues and be paying attention at refinements and other meetings.

This is mostly about software development jobs/gigs, if you're doing some STEM job in nuclear reactor design etc then yeah thats a completely different story.
It’s insane people buy stuff like this just for moving a few things around the farm. What a waste.
I looked at the GitHub repo, backed up a bit, and looked around.

It is a neat process and I hope they develop it further, but it is yet another example of the kind of thing people cling to so as to avoid recognising that part of net zero requires behavioural changes.

"Despite the facility taking up space equivalent to a small car park, it was only able to produce just over 5,000 liters of syngas in 9 days. "

In other words, if this was our only way of powering flight, flight would become enormously uncommon and staggeringly expensive. Even if they achieved their stated aim of 15% efficiency, there's no sane hope of scaling this. It is just yet another example of tech that we cling to in the hope of not changing our lifestyles. Neat, but not the answer.
I'd argue there's a big difference between a law which requires reporting a transaction and one which criminalizes it.

I have no problem reporting large cash transactions. I do have a problem keeping all my money in electronic accounts that can be vaporized by government fiat, hacking, bank insolvency, clerical error, EMP, etc.
> No, no more buying used cars from private citizens. Got you.

There is no change when it comes to buying cars. The limit before this change was NIS 50000 for payments between private individuals. That limit is dropping to NIS 15000, but there is an exception keeping it at NIS 50000 for car purchases.
"Then people just dump their pets when they get bored of them. Dont bother training them or taking care of them properly"
I don't know. I would have a hard time determining how much executive ability I lack.

When medicated I just find I am myself, but doing things. I couldn't tell you if it's 40% or what, just that I imagine I am like most people now. Doing, slowly moving towards my goals, without being a soulless hyperproductive machine. There's times I have to force myself to do something boring, like everybody else does, but I can still take them to completion. I think this is a healthy balance, yet much better than my previous state of complete and total inertia and infinite self-loathing.
Google had no revenue for years. But turned out to be one of the best investments of all time.

To figure out how they are doing, the first thing I would look at is a chart of Helium's usage growth.
> It's denoted by the formula E = mc2 which is fairly well known.

I don't think a collision between two vehicles results in total mass-to-energy conversion, unless one of them is made of antimatter.

You probably meant to write E = 1/2 mv^2.
Like not everyone lives in Los Angeles or Washington you know. There's cities like Detroit, there's cities without drinkable water, there's countless trailer parks.
Berlin is not anymore one of the cheapest places to live in Germany, since the rent went up 100% in the past 8 years, it is now the fourth most expensive large city in Germany.
George R. R. Martin is American, and Game of Thrones was produced by HBO. It's an American thing.
I could not, reading this stuff, figure out what any of it was, or was for, or for who, or why I should care about anybody's revenue.
Nice analogy and a thought that could also be extended to a hiring process look-alikes in those and similar fields. I always wondered what is it that shaped the hiring process in software engineering jobs to be that full of scrutiny. Nobody outside the field runs such heavy lifting interviews.
That doesn't seem very relevant for VRChat, either.
On the other hand, giving away 365M as cash gifts could probably drive incredible usage growth numbers. Not to say that’s what they are doing but it also isn’t the whole picture.

The sidewall are there to hold the load, you need also to secure the load by attaching it. Moreover they come with tilting mechanism to unload (sidewise or back wise). This I think is not possible with a pickup truck.

It is very useful when you destroy a wall, you can haul the brick to the junkyard, or if you bring sand in bulk for building a wall.
These are combinations of two emojis.

> Another question, WHO will live in Neom? Saudi Arabia only have 19-20 million native citizens, the rest are all expats.

People from extremely poorly managed countries or countries unable to attract investment because of lack of law or other factors. The UAE is 90% or so migrants who will never become citizens. If you have quasi-competent government and are willing to allow migrant workers in you can print money. Paying people from a country where the average daily wage is $2 $20 per day leaves a lot of room for profit margin even in low profit margin low skill manufacturing like textiles, the classic way to kick start the transition from agricultural to manufacturing based economies.
After the pandemic the growth in the digital marketplace is tremendous and Siddharth Mehta believes it will grow more and more.
There are not a lot of normal people using suitcases full of cash as a way to conduct business anymore. Probably the largest transactions relate to things like used cars and similarly large second hand purchases where both parties might prefer to keep the transaction off the books. Otherwise, most people would consider handling large cash transactions as a risky thing to do. And with modern payment solutions, you don't have to. Unless of course you are intent on keeping things off the books.

Unfortunately, I live in Germany where cash is still king. When possible, I use Google Pay. It's just easier. But there are still a lot of cash only places here. All the fun places basically. To get cash, I have to find an ATM affiliated with my bank (Deutsche Bank, one of inept and hopelessly customer hostile local banks) and there are only a few of those in Berlin and none close to where I live. The fees if I go to the wrong bank are pretty substantial. And then they inevitably give me 50 and 100 euro notes. Especially the latter are really a pain in the ass because shops and restaurants hate having to deal with those because it means they lose all their remaining change, which they need for other customers.

Digital currencies get a lot of bad press (and rightly so) but a lot of banks and national banks are starting to adopt blockchains as a way to keep their ledgers. Ledgers are the core thing a bank does and blockchains are basically very good ledgers. So, there's nothing strange about that from a technical point of view. IMHO, we are heading to a cashless future where all transactions go via blockchains. Cash is obsolete basically.
> once we're no longer able to rely on cheap fossil fuels for it

Why would that happen?
> long as that's possible, money will keep pouring into the system

This was an easy-money phenomenon. We have another rates announcement today. I expect crypto to respond like the clockwork leveraged risk asset it models.

> global gambling industry is half a trillion every year

This is a good analogy. It’s one I hear in legislative and regulatory halls in the U.S. and Europe, the money centres crypto depends on for its legal demand.

The VCs largely have downside protection. Retail with get screwed but it’s a risk asset; they always get screwed late cycle and we have resolution mechanisms for that. Crypto company employees, however, stand to be boned.

It’s unclear where the legal risk winds up. My bet is the first layer that has not been talking to lawyers so far. That includes dumb executives and naïve employees working for savvy ones.

HVCI is truly revolutionary, you can no longer just dump lsass and get credentials if it is enabled among other use cases.

But to me, this all looks like MS building a house of cards again. If I am writing a rootkit or other malware why can I not use this to make sure only the compromised devices secure processor can read the contents of memory or does defender get a pass?! A defender/analyst won't also be able to dump ram with volatility or a custom driver to analyze the malware/implant? No microsoft solution would prevent a user from downloading and running an executable entirely so malicious code would run, but can it now hide from security solutions? What part of HVCI am I missing?

As far as the rest of it, it will break legitimate use cases for users so I don't expect it to be a default anytime soon. I hate the remote attestation stuff but my hope is it will either fizzle out or regulations will be put in place for enabling user control of the secure computing private key for personally owned devices because code you can't introspect or keys you can't manage should not exist on a device you own (not license).
Environmetal cost is not in the price, so is interoperability and other user-centric metrics. It requires governments to step in to make that happen, the EU requiring type-C is an example, although I don't neccessarily agree with straight ordering company to do thing, bet ter to simply create incentives via taxes
