Are you sure about that? I don't know when you're allowed to leave school in the US, but they're pretty popular in schools - relatively cheap tools & a lot safer than others. They didn't exist (in the mainstream at least) when I was at school, but we had laser cutter/engravers for example. I know which I'd pick if I were in control of the budget (and had to choose one).

Interesting, didn't know that. Thanks for elaborating!
It could have checked for ".\0" and "..\0", is the thing. There was no need to bring the whole of strcmp to bear.

I think hiding files with a path convention is Good, Actually, but I'm comfortable being in the minority on that, and it's possible that if we instead had a hidden flag a la chmod permissions I would prefer that.

No, the point of SGX is to be able to encapsulate a piece of code+data inside a "black box". That black box can the receive input, run the code on that input (for example: decrypt the input using a private key) and return output data. The whole point of SGX is to be able to create an enclave where some data (for example, a private key) can be placed in a secure manner, which is a very reasonable thing to do when dealing with sensitive data.

"onMouseMove" is a user signal that you would want to be fast. also signals should be used for more than just user input interactions, like "download progress" etc..
As other people have replied, I think it's fine as long as there's a free version that's also available.

Personally, I started playing Mindustry using the free version. I enjoyed it and started playing it with a friend. Keeping my version up to date was _just_ annoying enough that throwing the developer $6 (USD) to not start each game session with 20 minutes of fiddling with software versions was worth it. I really liked that it's free and open source AND I really appreciated the easier to use option once I decided that I like this particular game.

So giving people the option (free & manual, or token payment and Steam makes my life easier) is actually a really nice, appreciated option for players. Or at least, appreciated by this player :)
The free market does not require perfect competition nor perfect information at all. Imperfect information, for example, is called "risk", and risk is factored into every price.

Besides, why would you think socialist medicine would provide perfect information?
A reminder to all those bitching about constant construction. The reason why that road has to be torn up and replaced every year is because it was designed and built with avg vehicle weight in the 80s, and now avg vehicles are way heavier, and road damage increases with like the 4th power of axle weight.

Every time you choose that massive truck over a tiny corolla (Even that is massive nowadays!!) you are forcing everyone to deal with more construction.
Where do you get your books from?

My main use for my Kindle ($99, early 2015 model) is from library systems that use Libby/Overdrive. It’s super easy to check out a book and have it delivered to my kindle. Kindle supports whatever DRM is used to return the book when the loan period is over. And I don’t have to feel guilty about bypassing DRM on the service.

What’s the process like for the Kobo?
16th-century log of swan ownership goes up for auction
> It uses php-wasm, which is a WebAssembly build of PHP.

I'm very bullish on the application of wasm in general at this point. It's such an interesting combination of:

* a reasonable compile target

* a reasonable-to-implement-safely runtime

* Already widespread deploy targets (in the form of browsers and now more and more cloud providers)

It feels like a sort of ouroboros is happening in front of us right now with a new infra layer about to bootstrap itself. That'll then enable tons of interesting new applications - wasm as a plugin runtime for applications, wasm3/wasmer for running wasm on the server (and elsewhere, like the Gameboy advance, of course!).

> It's just a demo, and isn't supposed to be a real-world example of performance or best practices.

I also appreciate that it's still in an experimentation phase. Looks like a silly toy, like a lot of things do before they become mainstream.

I strongly agree.

It's also worth mentioning that rule 282 is only a small part of the Russian media control regime at this point; it's expanded dramatically in recent years, particularly post-2017. One could write a whole book about the current constellation of Russian media control legislation.
I wonder what your definition of a "modern laptop" laptop is ?

I have a T420 with NetBSD on it and it runs perfect (on it now), I doubt I would see a difference with a modern laptop, no matter what the OS is. My other Laptop is a Thinkpad W541, it is pulled apart so I can thermal paste and clean it, that has BSD on it too.

These both cost far less then what a brand new Laptop would cost and they serve me perfectly.

But I am not a gamer, except for games like nethack, so maybe running fancy 3d games may be tough, but for everything else, these are fine.

Routing is impressive. But we do routing already.
Different syntax = different ways of doing things = codebases that diverge in implementation. It doesn't matter if the new way doing things is conceptually simpler, you are now creating 2 ways to do things based on what version of the compiler you use, which people will have to know, therefore increasing complexity, not reducing it. I don't understand how people don't get this by now. Saying "oh just learn and use the latest version" is completely unrealistic guidance.

And while its fine for high level scripting languages like Python, because the whole idea is to abstract a lot of the functionality into the syntax, the issue with Rust is that its trying to be the next C and be applicable for writing critically important pieces of software like parts of the linux kernel. You absolutely must have a locked down language set for this. The reason C is still used for the kernel isn't because of circumstances, its specifically because there is very few ambiguities in the core language.

The issue is that semantic versions are a hierarchy, whereas Rust edition x compiler version are a matrix

Ehhh... does it though? I've been doing shell scripts all my career and never stumbled upon a problem I couldn't solve by combining various tools.

I did a lot of homegrown data science that way.

With Python it seems it's mostly familiarity. People just love the idea of one universal tool, no matter how many times history proves there's no such thing.

I don't see that at all, and invoking "charitable interpretation" is a bit disingenuous. Why bring up the context if not to suggest that this arrest was justified because of the person's ideology?
I could be wrong, but I think there's a specific violent threat embedded in calling trans people nazis - nazis are still the simplest shorthand terminology for "unambiguously evil oppressors whom it is acceptable to violently oppose." No one wrings their hands and bemoans the Allies' treatment of the nazis in WW2. To this very day it's hard to answer "is it okay to punch a nazi" negatively- most people would probably agree that the nazi had it coming.

That kind of sentiment makes this whole "trans nazis are infiltrating and controlling the cis lesbian and gay rights movement" accusation a little scarier, in my opinion, due to context - portraying your ideological opponents as nazis as prelude to violence, and trans people are already the target of plenty of violent transphobic attacks.

(I still don't think this arrest is warranted, absent some sort of other evidence that he intends to do more than call people names online... but there are very specific connotations to calling trans people nazis, that I feel like it's fair to call out aside from mere 'political beliefs')
Yes. If I say FOUR is a const Mutex with a 4 in it, whenever I talk about FOUR I get a completely new unlocked Mutex with a 4 in it, unrelated to any other Mutex regardless of whether it was made the same way.

This might be what you want if you, for some reason, need to make different Mutexes with a 4 in them all the time. But, if you actually meant one Mutex, which intially has a 4 in it, then that's a static variable not a constant.

https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=beta&mode=debug&edition=...

Change FOUR to be static instead of const, and now when we print y each time it's gone up by ten because we're using the same Mutex which is what we presumably intended.

My problem with blockchains is that they AREN'T decentralized. If controlling a blockchain becomes valuable enough then it's a matter of time before someone will figure out how to profit from it and invest the required resources.

You know, it seems like every time I'm about to look into Unity, there's suddenly a major change with it. Last time I did, I was trying to learn it via UnityScript (i.e. JS, my expertise) and about a month later, they dropped support for UnityScript and changed their internals to -- IIRC -- an entity-based restructured model. I felt defeated and dropped it. Now, years later, I'm hoping to make a career change from fintech to game dev, and to do so I need to learn either Unity or Unreal Engine. It's a terrifying life change, but I decided on Unity, since I have that month of some experience with it... and now this happens. If I start learning Unity again, and a month or two from now the merger leads to another full shift in how it works, I swear I will implode.
Your analogy doesn't work on that level. Going to get pizza is a decision which requires little planning and has no long term consequences, which is totally not the case with choosing a service provider like Gitlab. Metaphorically, customers who built their infrastructure on Gitlab while it was free are in the cab on their way for all those months of time because they have invested time and money in your offer and now have to invest more to replace it. Hence they are angry. There's nothing particularly entitled about that beyond the base entitlement that we all generally feel for the things we expect.

When Is JIT Faster Than a Compiler?
I've never seen anybody use these trashy preset directories as intended. Experienced users ignore them or delete them, using their own directory structure instead. Inexperienced users use one of them (usually Downloads or Desktop) while the others are treated as write-sometimes/read-never; e.g. sometimes they accidentally have files saved to those other directories which may as well be that file disappearing into the void never to be seen again.

These presets only serve to confuse or at best annoy. These directories were well-intentioned originally but proved to be a huge mistake. They need to go away.

(Edit: The above rant applies only to Downloads/Music/Video/etc. I think ~/.config and ~/.local are fine. I have no problem using those as intended, and I've seen plenty of other people using them too.)
It is not a pyramid scheme either though.

> because in British society they're willing to trade the right to say grossly offensive things to people, for protection against hearing grossly offensive things

I doubt it represents British society's desire. It's more likely a case of "when you're a hammer everything looks like a nail". MPs feel that their job is to always legislate. Let's not forget that since the 90s raves have been illegal in the UK.

Not sure what to make of this post. You know that you can drop files straight to your Kindle through a USB cable, right? As long as an epub loaded this way doesn't work I can't see how you can say Kindles support epub.

The way I deal with information sprawl (lots of stuff I want to read, but I can't right now) is to move it to a Reading List where I can prioritize and archive each entry as I read them. For me, tabs are things I need right now; I close them when I'm done with them.

I usually don't have any tabs left when I'm done with the day and usually don't exceed more than ten tabs.

My main browser is Safari, but when I use Firefox (on my work machine) I also use tab-less and Amethyst to have all of my pages on my screen. This way, I'm more aggressive about only keeping what I need and closing what I don't.
Pwnie nomination for “unilaterally shutting down a counterterrorism operation”
-- "Visa and Mastercard are the world’s dominant payment processing networks. By collecting 2–3% transaction fees everytime someone swipes a debit or credit card, they pulled in $24B in 2021"

"There were 343 million Visa credit cards in circulation in the U.S. and 798 million Visa credit cards in circulation outside of the U.S. at the end of September 2020"

"By the second quarter of 2021, there were about 742 million Visa debit cards in circulation in the United States and over 1.8 billion cards worldwide"

"There were 249 million Mastercard credit cards in the U.S. and 725 million cards in the rest of the world at the end of March 2021"

"There were over 1.46 billion MasterCard debit cards in circulation worldwide by the end of the fourth quarter of 2021"

The 24B looks staggering - however in my opinion when you put it in the context of ubiquity - it doesn't seem so insane - given they integrate with banks - provide support - enable payments in countries travelers don't bank - etc - is the lightning network really going to provide that much more bang for buck?

I think we both know the answer to this.

Cryptobros aren't interested in those "features".
Totally agreed, really the goal of any programming whatever is to determine how easy is it to model the related logic. Low-code/No-code is not some magic bullet, it's just another way of doing it. The question has always been how well can you abstract certain well known logic. Rails makes it so you don't have to interact with networking primitives... Until you try in a way that doesn't match that. But there are a whole mess of crud apps in the world. The real thing that I think low code will hit up against is scale. Everyone in the world can write twitter in a CS 101 class, but scale means a closer connection between the business logic and the technical implementation and I think you'll run into the 9 foot ladder 10 foot wall problem. Low code/No Code will be increasingly useful at building larger and better apps, but the problem spaces and scale will continue to grow.

But then: “The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to …” (lots of conditions!)

You may indeed prefer an empty canvas you have full control over.

However, creating these folders by default is actually beneficial to most users. Most users (especially the vast majority that transitioned from Windows) expect these folders to exist.

I believe the choice to not create these existed and still exists. Yet either all the distros that made that choice are history or they all made the opposite choice.

I can say the same about other choices. I vastly prefer having a TRRS headphone jack and expandable storage on a phone. These do not appear to be priorities for most people.

Back of the envelope calculation using the data from article.

To take soil from the Australian residential guideline for soils of 300mg/kg to the article recommended 117mg/kg, you need to remove 183mg/kg from the soil.

The average lead content in the eggs was 301µg/kg, so 183mg/301µg = 608. Meaning, for every kg of soil in your backyard, you need the chickens to lay 608 kg of eggs.

This will clearly take many many many years.
I'm very old and know all about cable pricing. Not sure what that has to do with my comment though. That said, I haven't had cable in ~18 years so maybe I'm missing the correlation.

It won't be the last price increase and it's nothing to do with inflation no matter what they say or indicate. I agree you'll see bi-yearly increases from every streaming service since they will all follow each other's lead. In 10 years Disney+ will most likely be twice the price it is today.

They will raise prices until people stop paying which I suspect won't be happening for a very long time if ever.
