While there is lock in to using a service like Gitlab, I wouldn't expect the "free" tier to provide every feature I might need.

Sophisticated software like, say, Adobe's products are expensive to develop and maintain. Eventually, Adobe's bundling and required subscription fees made me leave their suite of high-quality products because I'm not a media professional in any sense. On the other hand, despite being a long time Emacs user, I don't mind paying for JetBrain's products. They are high quality and are definitely worth what I pay for them.

Even the Civic and Corolla have gotten huge. 2004 Civic was 4455 mm long and 1720 mm wide. The new Civic is 4674 mm long and 1801 mm wide. The new Civic is actually bigger than the 2004 Accord (which was 4665 mm long and 1760 mm wide)
This does not create more colors or mean displays or fabrics could have more colors or anything like that

Mental model for color space that keeps things on track is it's just like any 3D space. Here, we could say "distance space" like "color space" and two "distance spaces" are miles and kilometers, (two color spaces are RGB and $ONE_FOLLOWING_FROM_PAPER)

If we found the distance equation in distance space differed from expectations, due to interesting things about physical geometry, that wouldn't create new places.

Why? The map is not the territory. The physical space still exists as it did.

Moving from distance to color: the physical display gamut is the territory. The map is the color space.

If we discover our distance metric in the space is flawed, we'd measure distance between colors as different than before. That wouldn't create new colors in color space.

Debian does it the hard way, by making a Debian package for every crates-io dependency used and patching Rust programs to use Debian's forked deps instead. It's seems like a massive pain for them, and has zero value for Rust end users, since normal Cargo won't use any of this.

Rust often carries its own bugfixes to its LLVM version (before they're accepted upstream). Debian unbundles LLVM from Rust and makes Rust use Debian's LLVM, which creates a risk of undoing Rust's bugfixes and causing miscompilations.

I don't think anyone should be using Debian-packaged Rust. Debian's and Rust's policies are fundamentally incompatible. This results in Debian having a hopelessly outdated inferior package that is a pain for both Debian users and the rest of the Rust ecosystem.

I've built a fair amount of production software in Rust. The best features are:

- Rust is naturally pretty fast, on the rough order of C++ in many cases. Even unoptimized programs tend to be very snappy (as long as you remember to compile in release mode and buffer I/O).

- Rust tends to warn me if I make a dumb mistake, rather than having my program mysteriously corrupt memory at run-time.

- Rust has very nice support for portable CLI applications, both in the standard library and in third-party libraries.

- With a bit of extra work, I can usually deliver a single, statically-linked Linux binary. Go is even better at this, but Rust does it well.

- It turns out the "algebraic data types", what Rust calls "enum" and "match", are just a really nice way to write down every possible "case" or "state" of some value. If a piece of software involves hundreds of special cases, Rust allows me to think about them clearly.

- Rust has surprisingly good third-party libraries for many things. (Not everything.)

- Multithreaded Rust apps are a dream.

Cons:

- Rust forces me to keep track of whether things live on the heap or the stack, whether I'm passing them by value or reference, and so on. This is good when I want performance, but for other kinds of code, it's just a "cognitive tax."

- Rust's learning curve is higher than Go, but arguably lower than C++. This is especially true if you've either never worked with stack/heap/pointers before.

- Rust tends to favor "mostly functional" architectures over "mutable objet soup" architectures. This pushes you to use less-familiar designs for games and GUI libraries, for example.
Calling it a technique gives it too much credit. It's similar to:

"I'm not political but I don't think I like <x person> very much"

"Look, I'm not on either side but <side x> seems like it's wrong"

"oh, I haven't been following the news that much because I've been working on my truck to help out my loving family which is composed of a thin and slightly younger wife, a male child, and a female child that is exactly two years younger than the male child.

It's entirely different.

Right now Starlink is a bent pipe model. The customer's station connects to a satellite which relays data to the closest ground station. Therefore, the satellite must be in contact with both the customer station and a ground station at the same time. This is not possible over oceans.

Newer Starlink satellites also have a satellite to satellite laser link which is intended to allow relay from consumer station -> satellite -> other satellite -> ground station to provide coverage over oceans, but this functionality has not yet been enabled and relies on enough satellite density that each satellite can see a neighbor.

It's funny because on one side the UK is the birthplace of most of how democracies work today, and the oldest continuously running democratic parliament. So it has fairly good credentials.

But on the other hand this system is so dangerous, there is only really one chamber (the other one has no power), no counterpower, no constitution (the precendents thing is a joke, given that they are free to make up their own precedents on the fly), it is free to basically vote whatever it wants with a 50% and 1 vote majority, and that includes wiping out any civil liberty they feel like.

Again hard to call "unstable" a system that has shown to be so stable for so long, but it feels that it is not stable by design.

I see a lot of handwringing by conservatives and progressives on here about how the other “side” is coming for everyone. However my read of the relevant Irish law is that malicious communications via social networking are controlled and punishable by fines, arrest, forced removal of the posting, and forced apologies, which is a lot different than the standard here in the US. It reads like the police got a complaint that someone was posting threatening hate speech and they went to discuss it with the poster, were told to come back, then the gentleman refused to meet with the police on return. They arrested him to make him answer the questions they had because he otherwise wouldn’t.

It does seem to me the law in Ireland allows for this, but the PCC argument is there are more serious crimes going uninvestigated. However I don’t see anything here that doesn’t conform with what I’ve read Irish laws are (which are different than the US, why are people discussing the first amendment here?). Is it a silly use of time? Yeah. Should the local police have done a better job prioritizing? Yeah. Is this the sign of the progressive apocalypse? No. To me this reads as “local police make visibly bad judgement call and ends up as a meme.”
>They could arrest you to interview, but its agreed they won't.

So you're fine that they "could arrest him, but won't" for a retweet of a stupid meme?

Who cares by what laws or twisted logic they justify it.
I, and many others, learned a lot about the sun when during the last solar eclipse.

I held a spice shaker lid (ie a disc with several round holes) into the sun and observed several crescent-shaped shadows on the ground [0]. It turns out the light that passes through the holes is a projection of the sun, which is kinda a neat realization. It was pretty unintuitive before I saw this, so I’m impressed by the 17th century astronomers.

Hi!

We, the YunoHost development team, are happy to announce the release of YunoHost 11 based on Debian Bullseye!

What is YunoHost?
YunoHost is an operating system that aims to simplify as much as possible the administration of a server to democratize self-hosting while remaining reliable, secure, ethical and light.

What is it for? Administering your own machine means hosting your personal data and those of your friends and family yourself, providing online services without relying on private entities.

For example, with the simple and uncluttered web interface of YunoHost, you can, in no particular order :

- maintain a website with Wordpress,

- manage your mailboxes with Snappymail,

- have a cloud at home with Nextcloud,

- get into home automation with HomeAssistant,

- or play retro games with Retroarch,

- or organize videoconferences with Jitsi.

We just passed the 400 apps mark, including 200 "excellent quality" apps in the apps catalog.

As always, we have a lot of features under development (about 50 pull requests on our git forge on the core alone at the time of writing).
While YunoHost 11.0 is focused on adapting to Debian Bullseye, versions 11.1 and 11.2 should bring much needed features to users, such as :

- the availability of "global" YunoHost settings from the web admin UI

- the possibility to define a recovery password for the domains nohost.me / noho.st / ynh.fr

- support for multiple administrators (paving the way for multi-factor authentication)

- for application packagers: a new simplified application packaging format (paving the way for an improved user interface for the application catalog)

- under the hood, an SSO/portal redesign (paving the way for user self-registration, user password recovery, custom portal creation...)

- and as always, various interface usability improvements

...and much more!

As for this 11.0 release, the various architecture improvements and redesigns are often related to the transition to Debian Bullseye 11. These include:

- better integration with Debian's release management and fewer changes to the standard configuration

- default use of Python 3.9, PHP 7.4 and PostgreSQL 13

- an overhaul of the code architecture

- a smarter auto-upgrade mechanism that provides a better user experience

- security improvements, preventing users from seeing what programs other people are running on the machine

To try YunoHost, check out our demo at: <https://yunohost.org/try>

Except Kindle isn't supporting ePub. You can't sideload an ePub on to a Kindle. All you can do is e-mail an ePub to Amazon, and they'll convert it to AZW3 and load that file on to your Kindle.

Further the conversion that they do is notoriously bad and often results in unreadable books. So you often have to tweak the ePub files before sending them to get a decent result. Calibre is essential to that process.
There's a lot more options on the table today:

> Key pillars of this new energy system are solar and wind energy, energy storage, sector coupling, and electrification of all energy and industry sectors implying power-to-X and hydrogen-to-X solutions, complemented by upcoming carbon dioxide removal to help stabilize the climate.

All of the items in that list after wind and solar are the modern ways to match supply to demand dynamically. Unfortunately a global grid is not as plausible.

TIL. As a non-native speaker, I've never seen it written and always heard it like "pole bearer", which kinda makes sense: horizontal poles under a coffin.
> This article is a clear and persuasive statement on how unoriginal "critiques" of wokeness are

God forbid critiques of your own normalized racism and sexism be unoriginal and boring to you.

That says more about you than anything about the critique itself.

> as well as on the irony of a white man complaining about how hard it is to get published... even though he just got his book published!

Where’s the irony in an established successful author facing discrimination, and — unlike the many authors that will never have the opportunity due to said discrimination — using their slightly more privileged position to call it out?
For the same reason that it's the governments business if you are grossly offensive or indecent in person.

Shouting abuse at someone in public can see the law involved, and that is the same if the public space is online.
Isn't the government through law and police the entity that encodes and enforces the current set of moral values of a society? When same-sex relations were deemed imoral in less refined times the police would arrest people for that. Now we understand as a society that we can't tolerate repressive ideologies like fascism and so it falls upon the government the burden of repressing and regulating the use of symbols in the context of promoting such ideologies.

What other institution would do this instead of the government? Because having no form of regulation is in my opinion not viable.

Just think of it for a second. No regulation is a double edge knife. Yes, maybe it would make for a less repressive society, but you would be opening ways for any sort of expression, not only those that don't bother you directly but also those that do. So lacking a better option, the government fills this gap.

If that is not acceptable to you, you should come up with alternatives other than unlimited freedom.
Yeah -- that was the first thing I thought.

I can't really find any better coverage of this, but this seems like a clickbait article in a highly suspect news source.

One article [1] I found mentioned that there's an awareness course that "gives alleged offenders the chance to avoid prosecution." But I'm still not clear on what Mr. Brady would have been prosecuted for.

Questions I have that don't seem to be answered anywhere:

* What was the actual law that Mr. Brady was arrested under?
* What was the actual reason that Mr. Brady was arrested? I know the officer said "for causing anxiety" - but I doubt there's a law on the books that makes "causing anxiety" a crime in the UK.
* What are the actual relevant laws to arrest and detention of someone in the UK, and how are they differnet from the US?
* Are there any laws about Nazi and similar hate symbols in the UK, similar to the ones that I believe exist in Germany?
* I believe that free speech in the UK is generally subject to more restrictions than in the US, how does that affect this case?

Whether It would be great to see an actual news article that answered some of these questions, and not just this clickbait "poor army vet arrested for memeing" stuff.

How do you know that's what it was? Why would anyone need anything more than a simple camera for that application? Is it possible it was using LIDAR or some other tech for another application?
+1 And to pile on a bit here... part of learning to be a good engineer is learning how to give good constructive feedback. If you are creating real risk of truly hurting someone with your feedback (in a PR or a code review for example) then it's you who are at fault for tone deafness not them for being thin skinned.

Giving and getting feedback is hard. It's a skill and it doesn't come easily to most. Sometimes hurting someone's feelings is inevitable, but starting from a place of "toughen up buttercup" is really self-serving and counterproductive.

There is always someone better than you, and always someone worse. Always someone who knows something you don't, and always someone who can learn from you.
I'm building WebAssembly bindings to existing Rust libraries [0] and lower-dependency geospatial tools [1]. Rust makes it very easy to bind rust code to both WebAssembly and Python. And by avoiding some large C geospatial dependencies we can get reliable performance in both wasm and Python using the exact same codebase.

> Total Russian losses of multirole/fighter/attack aircraft are estimated at only 42[1] compared to a possible in-service count of approximately 1228[2], for a 3% loss so far.

Comparing losses at a forward operating base to the total number of aircraft in inventory is not very useful. For any military the total number of aircraft in inventory isn't the total force available at any given time. Out of the total inventory there's different levels of readiness.

Losing a bunch of forward deployed operational aircraft is a huge blow to Russia's air power in the region. To replace them they need to strip aircraft from other units at operational readiness decreasing every unit's total air power. It's not Starcraft where a unit can fly from factory to the front lines.

Additionally losing so many aircraft at a base deep in Russian claimed territory changes the power balance in the region. They can now fly fewer sorties and have a lower density of coverage.
We can control much of the medication that we take. Sometimes medications are absolutely necessary, and we have to accept the negative side effects in order to prevent death or serious symptoms. But too often medications are used as a "patch" to treat chronic conditions that would be better addressed over the long term with lifestyle changes. For example, some fraction of chronic depression cases can be treated effectively with frequent exercise and sunlight exposure instead of SSRIs. I am not trying to discourage anyone from seeking allopathic medical treatment but it's worth investigating all the options.
Yeah, I was very excited when that was added. I prefer to use use the system Rust as well, and my primary complaint was the hassle of having to manually resolve dependency versions (for packages not in the OS package manager) because Cargo hasn't had great support for restricting packages to ones compatible with your version of Rust.

There will always be some issues with package maintainers using new features without realizing it, and/or forgetting to bump the minimum version. But now that there is a standard for how it should be done, I can submit patches to these projects to fix the problems when I encounter them.
