3) you contribute to loss of biodiversity through increased land use for intensive farming (monoculture, high chemical use)

4) co2 balance of those 'biofuels' is way worse than fuels refined from extracted fossil fuels

5) additional supply of these fuels lowers fuel prices thereby slowing shift to renewable energy sources (i.e. renewable electricity)

6) simply paying farmers for fallow fields is a much simpler solution to the problem
Fix uploading files using fetch and multipart/form-data
These use cases become especially interesting now with several recent Prolog systems such as Scryer, Tau, Trealla and ichiban/prolog: All these systems set the Prolog flag double_quotes to chars already by default, and this means that we can write lists of characters especially conveniently as double-quoted strings in programs in queries!

For example, the list of characters [a,b,c] can be conveniently written as "abc" in all these systems, and of course also if we manually set the flag to chars in any conforming Prolog system. Scryer and Trealla combine this default for the flag with an extremely efficient internal representation of strings, using packed UTF-8 encoding internally, so that also very large amounts of text can be efficiently and conveniently processed with DCGs. In Trealla Prolog, using phrase_from_file/2 even transparently maps the file contents to memory with the system call mmap(2) for extreme performance.

There's a lot of people applying US legal principles to a country that is not the US in this thread.

The way UK law works can be a bit funny. Not in a good way.
This is not a story about tenacity or an overloaded court system. It's a story about deliberate bad governance to keep corruption money flowing in an impoverished country.

The political leadership could easily find solutions to stop such abuses of the public legal system, and direct resources to high priority cases with large public impact. By deliberately allowing such cases to bog down the justice system and waste limited public resources, they ensure rule of law cannot operate effectively. It's a typical story.

If you facilitate money laundering that is still a crime even if the intent was for legitimate reasons like privacy.

I think you can simplify this.

Consider your wants and needs.

Most of us get stuck in our wants. We want to get a promotion, we want a nice car, we want a perfect family vacation.

But do we need any of those? Not necessarily.

We get stuck on the treadmill by not knowing the difference of our wants and needs. When you realize you don’t need the things you want, you focus more on the things you need.

Introspection in my opinion helps you find your inner happiness in discerning your needs from wants. This is why many ancient philosophers believed you can be plenty happy with “enough”.

Look at the past record of the ACCC. When their media code ultimately just resulted in Google and Facebook paying Murdoch and 9, the commissioner said that was his plan all along.

https://thenewdaily.com.au/news/2021/03/17/alan-kohler-news-...

[Rod Sims] said last week: “It doesn’t matter a toss what the money is paid for.”

At an on-the-record Q&A event in Melbourne last week, Mr Sims said: “For reasons of their own, Google and Facebook strongly don’t want to pay for news on search and news feed. Fine. The news media companies don’t care what the money is for. So I just think it’s a perfect outcome.”

“But”, I followed up, “this does nothing to address the dominance of Google and Facebook”.

“This is one problem at a time”, Sims responded.

“The problem we’re addressing with the news media code is simply that we wanted to arrest the decline in money going to journalism. That’s what the code is about – getting more money into journalism, and I personally think the money going into Seven and Nine, what’s been publicly reported, which is north of $30 million, will make a big difference.”

When I pointed out that there is nothing in the code that makes the companies spend the money on journalism, rather than dividends or executive bonuses, he replied that “the world is watching what they do”.

Q: What's the difference between a thug who threatens to break in your windows unless you pay up and Rod Sims?

A: Rod Sims is paid three quarters of a million dollars a year by the taxpayer and has the gall to claim he's acting in the public interest.

We shouldn't assume the ACCC are acting in good faith in this case because we know they haven't historically, instead waging an ideological campaign against tech companies.
It's a serious situation for sure.....but I guess I'd expect the part of the world that IS ice to be melting faster than the parts of the world that aren't.
I tend not to buy German brands. Not because they are bad or anything, but because their mustard was quite different (usually sweeter, less sharp, or less sour) every time I tried. They could be used as an ersatz in a pinch, but I’d rather have the stuff I am used to and which won’t mess with my usual recipes.

I know that there are some German mustards that are very close to Dijon, but on balance the risk is much lower going with a French brand.
Demand for diesel has been higher as supply chains catch up. In general you are correct, but ULSD goes through a desulfurization process which makes diesel a cleaner fuel while increasing costs.
I understand why they arrested him but it doesn't seem like he did anything thats illegal so it will be interesting to see what charge they bring or how they intend to differentiate between tornado cash and HSBC laundering money for cartels.
I’d love to try an American mustard with no mustard in it. Would you mind sharing any brand which fits this description?

Or, did you mean American yellow mustard isn’t usually spicy? That doesn’t mean there isn’t mustard in it.

>Tornado Cash was certainly not designed with the intent of criminal activity, but for privacy

Again, claims of privacy is not enough magic to make them free from legal requirements for money laundering laws. Privacy claims do not make banks immune from money laundering. Privacy claims do not make anyone free from meeting legal requirements.

>those are purely conjecture

The above states ~1/7 of all money flowing through can be tied to criminal behavior. If true, that's an astounding ratio that would rightfully put a bank out of business and key players in prison.
As someone that grew up with French culture and Dijon mustard, as soon as I first tasted the mild American version it became my favourite condiment.

French, and worse, English mustard are far too violent, and it's not as pleasant a pain as a strong chili pepper.

The wording of it is a bit problematic, for sure.

A "voluntary interview" may or may not come with the alternative of arrest.

In this particular case, it did.

In some cases, it doesn't.

A voluntary interview may also lead to arrest (eg: if you admit to a crime, they usually arrest you to charge you).

A basic requirement for democracy is the process must be transparent and understandable for everyone. Telling non-technical people to "trust" the machine is how you erode it.

Paper voting is dead simple: you (and your opponents) can observe the count in person. Electronic voting has far too many potential attack vectors. Once a weakness is found, you can potentially overturn an entire election. At least with paper ballets, you have to potentially bribe everyone which is infeasible on a large scale or democracy has already fallen.
The single most important point that is keeping visual programming from ever being taken seriously in corporate settings is the fact that there are currently no version control compatible with it (for good reason). You can't collaborate without version control.
Software went from DLL Hell [1] to Dependency Hell [2]. Only now there is a dependency war so it is much more dangerous, and so many more dependencies.

Dependabot has to be used because of the threats. However everyone automating and moving to latest is also a threat. SolarWinds/VMWare/USGov hack [3] was all related to CI builds and automated "trust", ended up infecting tens of thousands of systems that thought they were secure with SOC2. SOC2 ends up making enterprises "trust" many third parties. What happens when dependabot is an attack vector as well...

The log4j/Log4Shell [4] issue shows how long exploits can go on without detection or automated fixes. Node is filled with dependency issues and that is just the known exploits besides all the "telemetry". [5]

Any third party or dependency is a potential attack vector, and dependency saturation is adding lots of tedium to shipping. So much time goes to just updating libs it is a bit of a tragic comedy.

> You've not even mentioned Valve

I did mention Valve (well.. Steam, but it's the same)

Valve have 0 presence on mobile

The mobile gaming market is growing, while the PC market is on the decline [1]

And as i said, the EU is making moves to force both Apple/Google to open up their ecosystem for more stores

Epic has a presence with Fortnite and is known with their fights against Google/Apple

Smartphones are getting more and more powerful and are able to play demanding games (Genshin Impact, and recently Diablo Immortal)

We see more and more games that released both on mobile and desktop at the same time (Tower Fantasy is the latest one), but also indie titles that you see on Steam (Dead Cells for example)

> and you discount the fact that Microsoft have bought up multiple huge gaming studios in the past few years - deals worth multiple billions

They bought Desktop/Console studios, that market is on the decline, so it is not a smart investment for them

If they make games for both desktop/mobile, then yeah i'd agree with you, but that's not the case

There is still some hope they change that with Activision purchase

The Lightyear Zero solar car has a 0.20 drag coefficient, while the Tesla Model 3 holds a 0.22 rating. The Lucid Air Dream Edition has a 0.21 drag coefficient, while the Tesla Model S Plaid has a 0.208.

Mercedes has shown that a more traditional looking car can also achieve a drag coefficient far below 0.20 with the 0.17 of its Vision EQXX prototype.
I'll digress and pick on something else: saying that something makes "no kind of sense" at a time when it is heavily debated is presumptuous. If it made no sense, there would be no debate around it. It might be a worse choice than something else (which is presumably why it is being debated), but it does make enough sense to be debated.

Once the trial starts, certainly journalists should be able to read all of it, unless the court decides some of it is too sensitive. The verdict will be published at rechtspraak.nl.
But why didn't it work?

Is it because it's impossible to maintain meaningful relationships over the internet? My experience in the online forum and gaming communities implies otherwise -- some of my most meaningful friendships started (and continue) in those communities.

I suspect, instead, that it didn't work because Facebook murdered it. They abused dark patterns, injected ads, suggested content, radicalized grandmothers, and hacked engagement to the point where relationships didn't just stagnate, they withered and died because they were hidden and forgotten.

I have a lot of chats and friends in Telegram, and it's very easy to maintain those chats over time because I have a chronological feed of interactions right in the app. Facebook hid and diluted an entire medium, their original focus, "posts from friends" in favor of content they thought you might engage with more. Facebook chat exists, sure, but app invite spam diluted that to hell just the same, so it doesn't have the same chronological list of meaningful conversations that I have in Telegram. And notification spam diluted the meaning of any new developments on Facebook -- comment replies, messages, whatever.

And now, Facebook pushes videos, "TV", reels, stories, and god only knows what else instead of just letting me see posts from my friends and family. I think it's fair to say that online social relationships can work... they just don't work in a hostile environment. It's kind of like maintaining your friendships only in the middle of Times Square, surrounded by ads, tourists, and costumed performers trying to scam you out of $20 for a picture. Not impossible, but eventually you'll get tired of it.
Personally I am extremely pessimistic as humans and countries are selfish no one will be willing to do the sacrifices needed. A small portion of worlds population produces majority of the carbon emissions. So even if they start decreasing carbon emissions the population growth and economic growth of the rest will result in carbon emissions growing rather than slowing or stopping. Where as the world need to decrease emissions.
Truffle and partial evaluation also works on native-image. You could say this is a VM where there are no bytecodes anymore.

> in both cases, the USA called soldiers to fight “to arms to defend their own country”

Having a justification doesn't mean it must be a good justification. The WMD that didn't exist? Being the close ally of the country that actually supported 9/11?

Let's not keep going on the same beaten path which will not suddenly give us a different answer. For more than a century the US has been involved in affairs everywhere else in the world long before everyone else in the world was involved in any US affairs. Both 9/11 and the subsequent invasions (or the acts that came before) were just as much terrorist actions but if you creatively draw the line you can arbitrarily erase any inconvenient action that came before. If you draw the line at 2002 the invasions look unprovoked. And if you draw it in the early 1980s then 9/11 looks like soldiers defending their country against further attack. Who would you say first meddled with whom to trigger the chain of escalations that came after? But no need to dig, ask yourself as a decent human being: should you bomb a wedding and call it defense?

If you had heard as often as I have people justifying the unjustifiable (then and now) you'd understand what's the problem with arbitrary lines and pro forma justifications. I apologize if a comment box cannot support any better explanation despite the unshakeable foundation for what I said.
I agree with the first points, but if you pay farmers not to farm, you'll get farmers who don't farm, you'll get farmers with more fields that they can use (because they'll have fields for 100% of what they can produce + extra ones for governments money), and you'll get speculative investors investing in empty fields to collect money.

So, when shit hits the fan, you have farmers who can't increase production, because they don't have the resources, and you get speculative investors who jump ship, plus a lot of empty fields and hungry citizens, revolution, guillotines, etc.

If those areas are now producing crops, you have a guarantee, that the farmer can actually handle those fields, that the equipment is in working order, you know how much they can produce, and all it takes is just to switch the corn for eg. ethanol to corn fit for humans to eat.
This was also my experience doing my last install, it caused me to:

- make it a priority to avoid Windows and run Linux instead whenever possible.

- strongly criticize Microsoft and Windows on my personal blog

- systematically list the bad stuff Microsoft is doing to ruin Windows, including but not limited to their dismantling of the taskbar with Windows 11.

The mandatory registration of a Microsoft account and included ad-ware is an extremely nasty thing about Windows.

Assuming that in a creative art like programming that efficiency (time spent at keyboard? and cost cutting? you can get 100 staff for the price of 98+ perks!) are the route to profitability is questionable. Add in supply/demand and competition for top talent and skimping on goodies is just bizarre.
Well did you do any research about the company before dedicating six hours of your life? At the end of the day you got more programming experience and avoided a toxic situation. Sounds like a win to me
Financial privacy is not a human right.

Oh, of course, but native-image is still a Graal feature, and I was asking about Truffle without Graal.
I have not used Dependabot myself, but I wrote a tool that runs in a nightly CI job and creates or updates a single PR per repo with all of the dependency updates. You can then merge those with the push of a button. I think that's better than the more granular approach of having one PR per update.

This still lets me know when an update to ANY internal or external dependency will break the build, so that I can take a look.

My tool only works with Nix Flakes, so it updates dependencies of Nix packages, but you often have other language-specific package managment tools wrapped inside of Nix (e.g. nix calling cargo) and I think it would be a cool extension to add a configuarable language-specific shell command where the results of running that command are added to that single PR as well. That could document the exact update workflow a dev should go through while also regularly exercising it.

https://github.com/serokell/update-daemon is a better tool than mine that does the same thing and I have been thinking about adding the feature there. I'd be interested in discussing that idea further, maybe I'll open an issue for that.
