With the EU newly voted dsa/dma legislation, a phone local CSAM detection module is 100% certain coming for android.

Apple, not so sure. They might even retract themselves from the European market.
I’m pretty ignorant on the whole matter but it doesn’t seem like a terrible spot to be in not being tied to the EU and lots of countries’ debt right now?

With regard to other aspects of Brexit, reading this Washington Post article it seems to have had some good parts and some bad parts and it is too early to tell?

> but is making fun of someone for being odd

It becomes much less murky after repeated and individually targeted "making fun". If it's made clear that you want them to leave you alone and they choose to persist, it becomes crystal clear.
Keep in mind that some HR folks may not know too much about various forms of work permits.

I work for a university that's a short drive from the US border, and yet had to harangue HR into applying for a NAFTA/USMCA work permit (which is easier) instead doing the "standard" thing.

It's worth spending some time figuring out what you are eligible for so you can at least try to put them on the happy path.
I think this case-sensitive byte/bit distinction was always a bad idea, and what you're experiencing is the consequence of a bad idea, not stupid people.

For example sometimes MESSAGES ARE WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS. Now what does your B mean?

Just write b for byte and bit for bit and there's no ambiguity.
Would you want to live in the EU (e.g. Netherlands) or rather stay in Turkey?

Our company, and others in the Amsterdam area, often hire from Turkey and take care of immigration afaik.
Don't concern yourself with the musk derangement syndrome crowd, they basically only exist to make shit up
The Nag Hammadi library is a famous Egyptian one. The story of its discovery and near-destruction is pretty crazy: https://www.tertullian.org/rpearse/manuscripts/nag_hammadi.h...
I don't care if the person on the other end of the phone has an accent. I care if we are mutually intelligible and we can get things resolved. I have had (and I'm sure some of you reading this have as well) some call center people whose English I just could not understand. I've also had some that could not understand my midwestern American accent.

I have had some call center interactions with people (obviously in a different country) that passed me around their noisy call center round-robin, only to be hung up on...multiple times. I've had some that simply didn't have the authority or the answers I was looking for. It's frustrating. It's unfortunate that this has now been associated with accents. The issue here is unit economics.

Yes, I am one of the vilified that has asked a person in a call-center to "transfer me to an American center" out of frustration. The reason is because, if I get a place in America (identified by the accent) for an American company, I know 9 times outta 10, it's gonna be a dedicated call center ONLY for that company. Otherwise, I'm dealing with a massive call-center which probably has many client companies and could give a damn if one frustrated customer of one of their many clients can't find a resolution.

Point being, aside from language issues, I don't give a damn about the accent. I care about quality of services and actually getting things resolved in a timely manner.

Also: Shout out to Apple for having some of the best customer service in the game!
I’d start by defining your goal more clearly. You said “one of the best programmers” but that means nothing. That’s like saying “one of the best athletes”. You could go all the way from horse shoe throwing to F1 to basketball to golf and be “one of the best” for that specific sport (again - how is that defined? By winning? By your individual stats? Which stats? How much money you make? How much fame you acquired? Who are you comparing against?). Does it mean you’re one of the best athletes?

Tbh - the lack of introspection here on the topic says enough. You won’t be the best cause you don’t even know what the best is.
> An array of length 0 starts at 0 and ends with 0

Nope. The moment you "start" somewhere you occupy 1 unit of memory. Thus no longer an "array of length 0".

There is no such thing as an array of length 0. It absolutely does not exist. You cannot write source code to represent it.

ie assuming we are talking about the pure data structure of an array. Some languages may have some abstraction built on of arrays (ie c-strings) that can have length 0 but these are not "arrays" and if they are defined they still occupy 1 unit of memory for the terminator.
> It could be intentional that a government, organization or pharmaceutical / chemical company is knowingly sterilizing / making it more difficult to conceive. This could either be through a willingness to look the other way (i.e. a side effect) or intentional (North Korea for instance may do some sabotage or government is intentionally pushing population reduction)

For others reading, remember that no evidence is being provided for this hypothesis.

> For instance, the US government gives funding to Planned Parenthood which provides birth control, abortions, and other drugs to support people looking to not have children. This organization advertises and gives a lot of birth control out for free or low fees. That's an overt intentional act of reducing population growth.

You've provided no basis for this claim that Planned Parenthood provides birth control, abortions, or other drugs as part of a US program to intentionally reduce population growth.
Thanks for tip Commander Keen!
How do taxes work? If I, as a US citizen, move from the US to Netherlands and maintain my remote US employment, will I have to pay 50% income tax?

I think about this, considering I'll be retired in the next decade due to declining health, it feels like a huge investment in time I don't have.

Been working through that. I have 6 open job offers if I move home to San Francisco.
I don't get why this is news. Chatbots spewing garbage is a decades-old concept. You'd have to be touched in the head to get offended because a computer said something rude.
Interesting! I haven't heard about this. But somewhat fits the narrative of him being a UK citizen, e.g. time zone, British english
There's also a fork that requires a lot less VRAM. I was able to get this working with an Nvidia GTX 1070.

https://github.com/basujindal/stable-diffusion

You'd clone the fork, then download Stability AI's checkpoint, sd-v1-4.ckpt, from https://huggingface.co/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v-1-4-origin...

Follow the instructions in the forked repo, and you should be good to go in a manner of minutes.
yes, it's an eye opener. "chat(view) over smtp" has untapped potential - against all obituary writers of email.
Minivans are extreme popular. You see rows of Odysseys and Siennas at soccer games and military housing. The bumper stickers are essential for finding ones own in the lot.

Mostly insecure rich people (or desperately wannabe rich), especially "overcompensating" macho-men and short-women, buy SUVs and shiny non-work big trucks.
I don't think Sergey Brin or Larry Page studied how to make search engines.

Let's start right away!

That's a strange definition of logical consistency: asking for something you know to be possible is conditional on also asking for something that you know to be impossible.
Does everyone here live in a studio apartment? Pickup trucks are the most utilitarian vehicle you can buy. Whether you use it for hauling furniture from the antique store, or you transport firewood or a load of topsoil or throw a kayak in the back, or one of a million other jobs. I don't get how people can become so radicalized that they develop a hatred for pickup trucks. We are doomed as a country
Because a strong negative reaction is also a sign of fashion.

Tattoos aren’t universal, what’s acceptable for Army special forces, goths, gang members, etc are all different. So, good or bad only exists in a specific context it isn’t something that any person can judge universally. Someone really can define good as whatever pisses people like you off.
So it's OK to let them spy since we get spied on from other sources anyway.
The novelty of these api apps are great... things like "You can’t get enough of Matteo Faustini lately" and "Your love for Negramaro has faded." makes me laugh... but besides the main section of the dashboard everything else just looks like a long list of albums...there's no long term engagement. I'm not sure why I would return here. Either way, of all of the spotify related web apps I've seen, this one does it the best.
I'm in a similar bandwagon. I just started collecting search engines and analyzing them. I've listed some of them at https://github.com/Tintedfireglass/search-engines and what I feel is that it is easy to look at search algorithms, queries and User interfaces but I still don't understand how to create one. Prolly start learning some Javascript first. then I'll try. I just host a searx instance at this point.

#4:

Integrate your patch+tests into your build process and don't bump on every external lib revision. Maybe that's basically forking, but what would be the issue with doing this for an OSS project dependency?
Agree fully. Yes, after a good dissertation, you are the world's expert on [title of your dissertation]. But you learned so much more getting that degree than is captured by that very narrow lens. So I would argue that if you try too hard to land The Job that maximizes your dissertation expertise, you will actually be wasting much of your degree.
Politeness is free. 'Fuck off' is unnecessary, just drop it and say there are only two F's.

Users shouldn't be jerks, neither should maintainers.
In that case, I guess forking the project to fix it whilst criticising them is disallowed?
Seems like it's either covert surveillance (before the EU cookie thing), or manipulated consent surveillance.

I personally improved my browsing experience with the Consent-o-matic addon, which knows some of these cookie modals, and fills them for me according to my preset (which is to deny all cookies).

Also, people not caring should not be a baseline. People are ignorant about the vast majority of things going on, and yet they are much better off if those are taken care of by people who actually give a damn - as evidenced by a good deal of regulations that keep lead out of paint, antibiotics out of chicken, and so on.

>You can store oil. In significant quantity.

>Did you consider how strategical targets became such networks?

All your numbers and calculations are background noise when you can't keep your fundamental concerns coherent.

Edit: Let me say that I see where you're coming from--I get the concern about large, low inertia systems, the ww2 partisans, the need for self reliance. But that ship has sailed. Russia is currently beating the bricks off Germany with the Nordstream. Saudi Arabia has been 'a murdering and 'a terrorizing for the better part of a century on the basis of their petroleum reserves.

I buy that renewables won't pay for the whole party, but it's also undeniable that renewables, in their various and sundry forms, are much more evenly distributed (globally, if not locally) and are therefore much less prone to the kind of exploitative power structures that have already arrived. All other economic considerations aside.
a bunch of girls i know had their depression massively improve after getting off it as well and their sex drives really improved. women are really complicated hormonally and messing with their hormomes is dangerous. tbh i think a consequence of mostly men designing the pill is that people didn't really realize that.
I don't understand how any such comparative study can be conclusive without actually auditing those "major tech companies", it's more self-assuring clickbait than anything else.

I'd say one could draw some pretty close conclusions for a company like facebook, as their products needs to interface not only with the user but also other facilities to gain data, and the assumption of interconnecting this data could give you a good foundation.

But to then reach a comparable insight on how much data Apple collects, a company where the typical user is using Hardware provided by Apple, an OS by Apple, logged-in using an Apple ID and using a multitude of applications and services which all use SSO connecting to Apple servers....?
You're uncovering this visceral reaction to paying for things people use or want and expecting people to do things on their behalf that only benefit them.

Also the free rider problem.

Also examples of the 1% rule and Pareto principle where most value must be produced by a very small number of people and used by lots of people.

Turkiye is not EU and is not Europe in practical sense.

Consult an attorney in Turkiye. Never heard of university diploma being a requirement for a work permit. There are hundreds of thousands of refugees in Turkiye which do not have any diplomas.

Join a sweatshop (an agency) in upwork: they take care of finding customers in exchange for a portion of your income. DevOps with fluent English is a limited resource.

You can always create an LLC in the US and work for it remotely. So your employer pays a contractor (your LLC), LLC pays you dividends. Talk to an accountant in Turkiye, but I doubt there will be any taxation difficulties with the foreign income. You can get an LLC in Turkiye as well, by the way.

Search for a job in Dubai: English is the main language there, no taxes, adjacent timezone.

Give a slightly different spin to your story: give employers your US address, say you are a digital nomad which happens to be living in TR temporarily.
Nice that you bring it up as it actually makes system more secure than less secure.

MS Windows Defender also has extensive cloud protection enabled: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defe...

We'd love it. I've applied to a few dozen jobs in Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona and Copenhagen. I'm shocked at the low salaries, but still I get tripped up by my lack of a degree.
You can accuse the OSI of many things, but not skipping on their homework. They deliberately chose a phrase that had no recorded previous use in neither trade press or academia, for a specific purpose.

That doesn't mean nobody ever put the two words together before, only that they did a reasonable job to make it probable that no one could point to it as an established term. The whole idea was to trademark and protect the term, which would have been useless process had they not done their homework.

That fell through because the phrase was too generic, but the whole process was very open and well argued, in my opinion. If you have objections to the term, why did you not put them forward in 1998? It sounds a bit late to argue that the term was hijacked 25 years after the fact.
Ha! I knew there were complications, but I didn't realize "without prejudice" was a maze of twisty little passages. Thanks.
Field scientist, some sort of investigator (although some types involve a LOT of waiting around), code inspector (not that the ones I've seen have used any real cognition), possibly a diagnostic mechanic?
That sounds like a pretty apt analogy....
Actually I’m pretty sure you should be allowed to make fun of any subject at any time, even if in very poor taste. That’s not your call or the government’s.
All of this is why you get paid. The alchemist turning the free stuff into stuff worth dollars! And bridging the impedance mismatch therewith.

Other options are changing libraries, changing the “requirements” or in a recent case in my company submitting a fix and waiting the months for the review and finally getting fixed for everyone. And yes it is a lot of work to do that in a complex OSS project.

If you don’t like this I recommend architecting to avoid it. Avoid front end libraries and use .NET for the back end which gives you fully featured system without needing as much FOSS reliance then pay M$ for top tier support.

I don't think it's necessarily an either/or.

If I go to the Washington Post website, it obviously has a distinctive style that is different from other newspapers. If I download a Washington Post mobile app, it's got that same distinctive style.

Why should the email experience be inconsistent with the style of those other digital applications?

What might seem like a silly, arbitrary "5 pixels to the left" style choice to you can be extremely useful in helping email users distinguish between a trusted brand, like a newspaper they subscribe to, and a knock-off or spam message. When plain text is the only cue, that's somewhat harder to do.

> Even traditional sports car companies in most models usually rather offer a double-clutch transmission.

Many are actually back to torque converter automatics, not dual clutch. VAG is about the only dual clutch holdout now. BMW, Mercedes, Ford, Chevy, etc.. are all torque converter automatics, not a dual clutch to be found. Not even on "flagships" like the M3/M4 Competition.
Ok, but most trucks sold today are indeed pavement princesses. For every one you see in the country doing work, there's 5 others being parked on tenth/quarter-acre lots in the cities/suburbs.
Well, the Pixels are there (at the bottom) but really should have included the Nexus line too. Anyway, they are simulated photos, so they are of little value.
Unfortunately that’s not exactly how it works. We don’t have a marketplace plan, so our insurance has no responsibility to pay for anything really.

The link you shared says this.

“All Marketplace health plans and many other plans must cover the following list of preventive services for children without charging you a copayment or coinsurance. This is true even if you haven’t met your yearly deductible.”

Maximum out of pocket only kicks in once you’ve hit the deductible on 2+ family members, at least for our plan. So for us, the max is $20k.
> It's why we can't have the Hilux in the States.

Well, we have the Tacoma, which fits pretty much the same niche. I was under the impression it was more market driven and less regulation driven.
"making fun" is putting it lightly. They will dig through your accounts, archive everything you say, interpret it the worst way possible. And if that doesn't work, they'll also sometimes outright make shit up (also known as defamation). Usually, for trans people, some groomer narrative is established.

It's essentially high grade stochastic terrorism. They hand you a gun and tell you where to aim, but then get upset when someone implies they encourage pulling the trigger.

Those affected also don't often talk about it, because it encourages even more harassment.

Exactly, they're just posting code, but, simultaneously, if they put it in the public domain, they probably expect that the code will be used by others and from that moment, well, they are at least responsible for replying to PRs or close the ones they don't care about merging.

Once it's public and gains "customers" the responsibility grows a bit, otherwise don't post it at all publicly, after all, if you're not going to care about real world use cases, it's just as valuable as any toy project that hasn't seen the light of day.

This type of almost "passive gatekeeping" is the reason why we've formed several OSS projects we rely on. Yes, we incur maintenance burden but the predictibility gained is Invaluable.
