> FAANG, unrestricted, is far more dangerous and toxic to innovation than any government.

That's a pretty high bar. I mean, Google/Facebook/etc have done some skeezy stuff, but there have been a lot of REALLY bad governments.

> Anarchists, in the "headless governance" meaning of the term. Distributed decision making without representatives.

As someone who's pretty libertarian, I don't particularly mind those folks, and would say the biggest difference between them and I is their optimism. I'm pretty sure the resulting power vacuum would result in an opportunity for totalitarian fuckwits to take over.*

* It should be noted, in the defense of anarchists, that they're pretty sure that my cynicism and paranoia has already resulted in totalitarian fuckwits taking over. The possibility that we're both right should also be considered.

I don't use AutoCAD, so I'm a nobody here, but these sound like pretty important and often-used features to cut (er, transfer to pay-per-use) without _any justification_ whatsoever.

BDs are also the absolute best for high bitrate content. For 4k UHD BDs, that's the absolute highest quality copy of a show you're going to get, including on streaming sites that offer 4K streaming.

Even if you lease the video file you're usually getting downsampled content.
It's probably about protecting a commercial-level monopoly.

You could presumably put together a box with a BD-ROM mechanism that runs a kiosk-mode VLC or the like that could play every concievable format. I'm sort of surprised it doesn't exist already on Alibaba. But chucking around the legal weight of DRM keeps that product off the market, ensuring that the "legitimate" manufacturers willing to pay for licenses, keys, and patent pools don't have to fight it.

decimal points all lined up (hell I can't even do that now)

In Word there are different types of tab stops, notably Left, Center, Right and Decimal.

If you turn on the Ruler (View tab, Ruler checkbox) you'll see a little bold "L" at the top left where the side and top rulers meet - that's not an L, that's an indicator for the kind of tab stop that will be created when you click on the top ruler. You can click on that tab stop type indicator to switch between tab stop and margin types - or if you double-click on the top ruler to set a tab stop it should show you the tab stop dialog that also allows choosing a tab stop type for each defined stop (along with things like setting a tab stop leader for things like a dotted line . . . . . . . . . . . . . . across to a page number in a table of contents).

Local Simulation Feature to Be Removed from All Autodesk Fusion 360 Versions
This doesn't really touch on what I think of when I think of "naming things is hard", which is not really technical or language-specific so much as semantic. When you name an abstraction (object, enum value, function name, etc) you are baking in assumptions about that abstraction that may not make sense a few years down the line. When the user connects to the websocket server, is that a Connection or a Socket or a SocketConnection or what? If they disconnect and reconnect, is that a Connection with two Sessions, or a Session with two Connections, or something else? Can a Connection be disconnected? Etc.

Maybe those aren't great examples, but the point is, I think the problem of finding names that accurately convey the right mental picture of what the underlying abstraction is intended to do is much, much harder than just trying to avoid conflicts with names of builtins. Particularly when the app changes over time and those abstractions evolve to be used in subtly different ways the programmer didn't foresee.
This is a fairly core feature they're removing from a product they already sold.

I also liked that they don't make any attempt at claiming this is for any reason other than more money. No "oh our new models are too powerful to run locally" or "oh for security reasons" or whatever. Which would be pretty transparent bullshit but I think a lot of companies would try anyways. This literally admits that the cloud functionality is identical, just paid per use.

Imo if you bought the product in this state, fine, but if you bought it before they probably ought to have to grandfather you in forever.
That is a valid form of democracy. In my opinion it's a better one than a grassroots one.

There, every idiot that has no clue about the topic can vote on an important issue. Brexit is the most obvious one, but there are lots of topics where an expert is better suited at voting.
The interface is very discoverable, unlike screen or tmux. You can start using it productively even before reading any documentation. The keybindings feel like a cross between vim (modal) bindings and CUA bindings.
You can blend communism under democratic socialism without falling down to the side of Stalinism. Heck, even Jugoslavia was pretty open for the Marxist standards. They had media and computers from both sides of the Iron Courtain.
Legally.

You can't do the same with nazism. What could the Germans do, plan another shoa for Jews under a democratic referendum?
If less than 13% of Latinos are undocumented, to say Latino = undocumented is not an accurate perception of reality.

And the part that I characterized as being "upsetting as fuck" is the false premise that most US Latinos are tourists or immigrants not eligible for a bank account rather than the reality which is that most US Latinos are US citizens that do not need this fucking application to do banking whatsoever or their unintelligent founders with savior complex that do not even know the difference between a Latino and someone ineligible for a bank account.

It invalidates the fact Latinos have been here for a long time and formed families and participate of society in a law abiding way, and now in a few words from this guy they're all back to being tourists and illegals that can't even open a bank account. Fuck! You guys know how to make someone upset.

Go to Puerto Rico, California, Florida or Texas and socialize a little bit before making such uninformed claims.
The Boeing Bird of Prey (first flight, 1996) has about that cross section in a bank. The Pegasus X-47A [1](first flight, 2003) looks almost exactly like that in a bank - diamond shaped with a dark engine bell at the rear. But it first flew a few years after that photo. I wonder if there was a UK prototype of that era which didn't get publicized.

The XB-47A led to the XB-47B, an armed semi-autonomous stealth attack aircraft demonstrator. Not quite as diamond-shaped, it was considered a success. It's not clear if a production version was built. One was definitely designed.

After the Have Blue "hopeless diamond", the original stealth-first aircraft, there was a lot of work in the diamond-shaped aircraft space. It's not too surprising to see a photo of one.

This is the second "non-advertised" feature reduction I've heard of on Intel's 12th generation processors. The first was losing the AVX-512 instructions [0]. The problem is that these processors are viewed as direct upgrades. But if you need to run AVX heavy or SGX-dependent workloads, these chips are now objectively worse than their prior generation counterparts. It's quite a shame, because most consumers don't realize the impact until it's too late. For example, I had to help a friend troubleshoot low framerates on Star Citizen. It turns out that disabling the AVX instructions absolutely destroyed his framerates in that game. Turning back on AVX using his motherboard's BIOS (because the motherboard manufacturer reversed the microcode and figured out how Intel disabled it) alleviated the problem, but it's a ridiculous step that most people won't do.

If there's anything that makes me think twice about Intel's future, it's moves like this.

I just picked a random number. The article claims you actually get 0.72 units of heat rather than 0.2, so steam turbines should be fine. But as sacred_numbers pointed out the laser issue is more serious.

Well, sure. But since we're here, talking about neonazis, and we disagree with neonazism (right, deepdiver?), I'll pass on their software.

Let me rephrase it.

I wont politically check every author of every software i use, but since the internet randomly revealed to me this group of neonazis write that software, I won't use it.

This is just a plain lie and since you obviously have no interest in further educating yourself in any way, I will now stop wasting my time with replying to you.
Feel free to illuminate us on what this 'message' is, preferably also provide some evidence that supports it's all encompassing nature.
Until you do so it is simply a vague allusion that exists only to serve your narrative.

I find it unsurprising that any country 'looks a lot different' if you compare internal and external media, the question is accuracy and truthfulness.
I ask again, please show me any external news source that is even remotely competitive in these areas with the Australian media.

You double down while answering none of my questions and still have not even explained HOW it 'looks different'.

This could make Autodesk a no-go for companies that make designs for defense or critical infrastructure, where sharing the design with Autodesk (or any other entity) is not an option.

Companies that are not based in the US in particular will probably start looking at Solidworks, if they have not done so already.

This is a valid take and I actually took efforts to locate the position of the thumbnail in the video (their server is somehow slow to reach from my country, so...). It's around 14:50 and right before the Q&A.

I'm not very sure if a better (in terms of avoiding controversy) thumbnail is possible; the presentation is about a video "editor" and the only visually meaningful frames are photos of two presidents and a mix of them, so picking any of them would be problematic. To be honest why do you use those photos in the presentation after all? I do get that organizers have zero consideration about inappropriate presentations, and that's one of the reasons I don't like suckless in general.
If farming worked like this comment presumes, the simple fact that growing things takes time would be a road to financial ruin and nobody could feasibly earn a living doing it. Since there exist both farmers and food, one can conclude that this isn't how things work.

Instead, rather than planting today and selling "here's X bushels of wheat I've harvested" months in the future and hoping for the best, farmers sell futures (that is: "in <growing time> months, I shall deliver X bushels of wheat") for most of their expected yield.

Lo' and behold, here's what the futures prices looked like around planting time [1: look at YTD]: high due to demand from those that had expected to have Ukrainian wheat to buy after the harvest, and then back down when that price signal resulted in sufficient wheat being planted to satisfy demand and thus an increased supply of farmers writing futures on it.

Their cloud is extremely slow, even saving a simple object as STL to print is slow.

If you save it via the export as workaround it takes milliseconds to save.

If you save it via the default menu you are in for a 2 minute wait where their cloud is doing something and then it generates the same file.

Absurd.
It's not obvious how Objective-S handles unreliable resources.

I ask because every remote resource is unreliable on several levels, and it's often both important and impossible to figure out which level is misbehaving. (Is AWS down, Comcast, my router? Or did I fat-finger some part of the URI?)
Mind you, a token is $3/piece. You can only buy them in packs of 500 and higher, and they expire in a year’s time. Something that I’ve noticed is that you used to be able to buy 100 tokens, but they removed that option some time ago, too.

Communism in prewar Europe was often explicitly Stalinist, such as the original "antifa":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifaschistische_Aktion

>Under the leadership of Ernst Thälmann, the KPD became a Stalinist party that was fiercely loyal to the Soviet government. Since 1928, the KPD was largely controlled and funded by the Soviet government through the Comintern.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Civil_War#Republicans_...

>It is important to note that there was infighting between the Republican factions, and that the Communists following Stalinism declared the POUM, the Workers' Party of Marxist Unification, (an anti-Stalinist communist party) to be an illegal organization, along with the Anarchists. The Stalinists betrayed and committed mass atrocities on the other Republican factions, such as torture and mass executions. George Orwell would record this in his Homage to Catalonia as well as write Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm to criticize Stalinism.

None of this is relevant to FOSS. I'd rather leave politics out whenever possible. So long as Suckless isn't worse than what's been alleged, I'm OK letting them slide.
> I’ll run over as many kids as I want and you can’t stop me!!

I'm actually not expecting the Tesla to run over the child (because either it will stop, or the driver will intervene and slam on the brakes or avoid the child). But it also gives me 100% confidence that this person is the exact wrong person to perform any scientific test of the system to even remotely validate its safety.
The product needs to be explained in one sentence - it's not easy, but they should try working with people who are clueless (like me!)! I've reviewed thousands of startups and I'm still not sure what this is reading their marketing message on their homepage!
Sure you can, but there's always going to be trust somewhere. I trust that the curl | bash examples I see are from reputable sources, and I trust their infra as much as someone else's to be safe (https protects MITM attacks). NixOS is a cool example of complete package transparency with their binary cache, if your expressions don't evaluate the same as theirs you'll build from source.

But really, curl | bash isn't the end of the world.

If they do it against a github url they also have the security of github behind you, because you can't differentiate on user agent there, which seems to be the commonly argued pitfall. Or other ways to detect you're not a browser, on a hosted platform you have someone else's security team behind your back.

Prior to the introduction of SMM, Ring 0 (CPL0) was full privilege. The ability to kick the CPU into ICE mode, even if there was some way to actually do something in ICE mode [0] would have been, at most, a way to get at some Intel secret sauce. At attack against the system owner wasn’t in the cards, because the system owner never had any protection from CPL 0 code in the first place. (Unless the system could be induced to self destruct, but even a pretty good self destruct was likely possible from CPL 0 by destroying CMOS or potentially overwriting firmware.)

Even with the addition of SMM, this wouldn’t have been a very big deal - SMM was mostly a kludge to allow system vendors to provide value-added (supposedly) features, and an SMM break would just allow reverse engineering of or interference with these.

On a modern system, it’s a bigger deal. An attack against the ME is every bit as bad as it sounds. Even an attack against SMM breaks Secure Boot and protections against malicious firmware updates [1], which, in turn, could break some TPM protections.

[0] Maybe with cache poisoning? If the instruction after STOREALL could be fetched from cache and regular ring 0 could poison that cache, code execution in ICE mode might be possible.

[1] This is IMO a terrible design on Intel’s part. For some reason, UEFI secure variables are nearly universally implemented by protecting a region of flash from writes originating outside SMM mode. Once in SMM mode, they can be freely overwritten (at least unless SMM itself implements a protected kernel, which is the new hotness). Coming up with simpler and more secure designs is not terribly hard IMO.
We can squat. Some of us just need a little help getting up.
Not without clashing with zillions of national and international laws against that.
One pattern (not necessarily a good one, but it's definitely used out there) is to define your "generic" code in macros, and then expose a macro such as MAKE_LIST(int) that in this case instantiates a list of int. Then you get a 'type-safe' interface, or at least more type-safe than void*, and also less annoying.

And then you just abuse arrays as much as possible. For a small number of items, e.g. <100 on a modern laptop, that linear and cache-friendly search is going to beat std::map and std::unordered_map and friends.

The difference is that libertarianism focuses on the form, while anarchism is more about the outcomes. Libertarians talk about states and governments and regulations, while anarchists oppose influence of any kind.

Assume that there is, in a utopian libertarian society, a corporation that has grown big and successful by providing goods and services people buy voluntarily. Anarchists think that corporation is the problem. If you got rich by founding the corporation, you are also the problem. And if many people listen to me because I speak against the corporation, I am also the problem.

Libertarianism is about giving individuals maximal freedom to do whatever they want, as long as it doesn't violate other people's liberties. Anarchism is about opposing excessive influence people have over other people, regardless of how they gained that influence.
Yeah, that really is a shame.

While this syntax is indeed popular in several languages it's deeply weird, it's like how English uses apostrophe S to do two very different things at the end of words.

The Add operation has a whole bunch of properties and this not only isn't most of them, it's arguably not any of them, the main argument for + as a string concatenate operator is "Well, people seem to like it". Which, I guess I/O streams doesn't even have that going for it, but it's a pretty terrible rationale.

Look, just grow string interpolate and write f"{foo}{bar}" or whatever as much as you like don't abuse unrelated operators.
