As a long-time cyclist, owner of 3 bicycles with disc brakes, 2 of which have quick-release, this suit is the first time I found out it was "a known safety hazard in the industry". I only had to give it a brief moment of thought before figuring out how and why this setup could eject the front wheel given a sufficiently loose QR skewer.

That said, I think the parents should look up the term "lawyer tabs"[1] and realize not everything can be solved with a lawsuit. Unless they expect the tabs to be made even bigger and more infuriating.

If the goal is to create an authoritarian dictatorship, then sure, controlling "most people" is usually enough because you can control the press by sending thugs to their offices.

But your "next step" is far beyond what even China does.

It would kill off any ability for software development. I'm all for being vigilant, but these scenarios are not realistic. As for a general purpose computing device being useful, as long as you can send or receive text or sound or images in any format that can be intercepted, you can tunnel arbitrary data. After all, we have a long history of using acoustic coupled modems. No, it's not practical for regular users, but if we get subjected to that kind of authoritarianism, it's worth doing for the sake of it.
I know it's easy being cynical in this day and age, but there are people out there that still operate under a manner of principles. I'd like to think that mudge is one of them.
Is it just me, or is it obvious the hyper-obsession of Twitter in the media is a function of its popularity amongst journalists and such?
Meanwhile Twitter seemingly voluntarily put a British psyops officer in charge of the Middle East [1]. And for all their hand-wringing about state-backed social media disinformation campaigns, no western mainstream media have reported on this - not Reuters, not the BBC, not the NY Times, not CNN, not Fox News, not the Guardian.

No, the evidence supports that we effectively have a (mostly) open border. Illegal immigrants who make it through the border are usually not expelled immediately. Many are processed and released pending some kind of further action. This can stretch out for years, especially if they claim asylum (even without evidence to justify the claim).

Rust is picking up incredible steam and is being used in production. At present, there are a lot of "cool" jobs that use it, so in a way it's kind of a filter for "fun". Within a decade it will be a substantial player.

FWIW, I'm hiring for Rust in production [1]. Send me an email if you're interested.

Mostly server, but we're now building a cross-platform native desktop app for real time voice conversion and a WASM client for the browser. We've also given Rust-Unreal Engine bindings a try and have a bunch of cool photogrammetry/NeRF stuff.

When you agreed to be employed at the company, it was under specific terms. Those terms were that you would come to work (physically) X days a week to do your job. You don't just get to change that whenever you feel like it. They're trying to take advantage of a situation that has ended because they feel they can.

That's why they're entitled.
I am in the same shoes. I want to work in that domain doing my role. But I was trying to get into the companies in my area and that role was rare and with way to heavy competition, so I work remote for a company that was not able to find the talents in their area. Do I like it? No but I am not giving my life (10min everywhere by bicycle) and frankly the pay is above average.

I’ll keep doing until it last and will see how the world looks in 24months.
Yeah, right. I don't think the Romans would have given it much of a second thought if at all. It's only an issue from our modern perspective, preserving data integrity in electronic records is the principal reason. Whilst 'I' '1' or 'l' are essentially just vertical strokes or lines and there's not much to distinguish between them, especially so with the glyphs of some sanserif typefaces, ascetics also play a role and likely more so with certain other characters. Incidentally, here the spelling checker threw up rôle as an alterative which is a somewhat related point.

FYI, I've somewhat expanded on my earlier comment in reply to CharlesW.
>Due to the higher profitability of regenerative agriculture

That might be true today, but will it hold into the future? Organic agriculture is also more profitable than conventional agriculture, even though it's less productive and has higher costs. The only reason it's more profitable is that people are willing to pay a premium for it. Obviously that's not something that's scalable. You might be able to convince a good chunk of bay area professionals to buy your organic/regenerative agriculture crops at 3x prices, but once you saturated that market you'll have much more trouble convincing the rest of the country to into paying 3x (or whatever) for their produce.

Lowe is being funny and calling back to his classic "Things I won't work with" series (which is also linked to in a different comment).

You're paranoid in the sense that you're making a conscious effort to prevent someone else doing something that doesn't harm you in any way.

One-Third of Popular PyPI Packages Mistakenly Flagged as Malicious
> It offers two specific reasons for this claim:

I will be nitpicky here. They say they will offer two specific reasons. But they don't. They write one reason, which has two predicates. The two points make up together one reason. The two points are not reasons in themselves, only together do they form an argument.

Obviously this is not a substantial critique of their argument. But it is quite telling that even in their description, which should be the best edited and most polished part of their book, they write sloppy things like this.

why do you think I think that?

As a person from Rome I have no respect for France.

The point is not that secret services spy on each other, but that mass surveillance of the scale US has built has no equivalent in the west.

They have been spying their citizen too.

Televisions, smartphones and even anti-virus software are all vulnerable to CIA hacking, according to the WikiLeaks documents released Tuesday. The capabilities described include recording the sounds, images and the private text messages of users, even when they resort to encrypted apps to communicate

Add to that most of the corporations amassing people data are American and manufacture the most popular devices around (not limited to but including clouds, voice assistants, even roomba now) and have close relations with NSA (they have to or are willing to do it it doesn't matter) and the only logical conclusion is that they either are incompetent and got caught or they have been doing it too aggressively and the allies got pissed. Right now I believe they simply stepped up their game and catching them is just gone be harder.

Wiretapping looks like child's play in comparison.

But in the end my comment was about the fact that EU Parliament is not the CIA and it's not advocating for mass surveillance.

There's a reason why secret services are called secret, because they are not doing it because the laws permits it.
What’s the point of these lists? I feel like everyone can predict the members of the top 10 or so and the tail is too noisy to be taken seriously. Essentially the bucket of metrics used to measure the top 10 of each category is chosen such that the obvious choices are a part of it, but those same metrics get pretty bad at detecting any meaningful ordering of the bottom, say, 20 or 30.
I do feel like there's a historical perspective missing from the article which the GP touches on. Embedded KV stores aren't new (although some of the algorithms behind the current crop certainly are). They used to dominate "backend" software development until their popularity waned as the world got obsessed with "model the domain, damn the computation cost" (because all resources were doubling or more yearly) followed by "we'll just distribute it".

The need for parallelism killed the first approach and the cost of increasingly complex reduce steps killed the second. Now we're back to "how much can we fit in RAM on a local machine" and it turns out, if you can still bang bits for smart key formats, a hell of a lot.

I really liked it up until 4.4. Version 5 marked a general departure from its dynamic, practical nature as it started to mimic "proper OO" from Java. Today, it feels like a bloated and patched-up language that has incrementally copied all the "good" features of other popular languages.

IMO it's just confusing to call both, say, RocksDB and MySQL "databases". They sit at different levels of the stack and it is easier to just think of them as entirely different things, your "SQL database" and your "storage engine". So your stack looks like

Application

|

MySQL

|

RocksDB

|

Filesystem

In general the MySQL layer is doing all the convenient stuff for application developers like supporting different queries and datatypes. The RocksDB layer is optimizing for performance metrics like throughput and reliability and just treats data as sequences of bytes.
In most currently widely-used E2EE systems isn't the provider in control of the client anyway, and thus there's not really any protection against rogue employees? If I'm in control of the client and I'm encrypting all my data before I send it to the cloud storage provider, then sure, I'm safe against rogue employees at the provider accessing my data (although they could still delete it). But the E2EE systems I'm aware of consist of a provider distributing a client that promises to encrypt data between that client and the provider's servers, but not in a way that makes the process easily auditable by the customer.
This is actually how math and science should be taught, with history. Without history explaining what people were thinking, you get a mess of formulas and Eureka moments, conclusions coming out of seemingly nowhere, and very hard to follow.

> A $2.7T business dictating terms to labor isn’t entitlement?

Um...you mean the terms under which the labor originally agreed to work for? How would that be "dictating" when it was literally what they agreed to?

Also, I don't know if you know this, but employers generally have the right to decide the basic terms of how their employees do their jobs. If the employees don't like how the employer wants them to do the job, they are not being held hostage. They can leave anytime.

Good news, if you think your display cable is the issue, you can now get it for $5 through Apple's self service repair. Same for the audio board's cable, the track pad/keyboard cable and the antennas (with varying prices). Separate IO and audio boards are had for <$50. Heck the entire M1 air logic board can be had for $370 now (assuming you return your old board). Other than literally sending schematics off for cloners to produce their own boards, I'm not sure what people could actually want done differently here for a "Self Service" repair program.

- come up with a competitive chip, and

- Rosetta-like software

that even "$35 dollar hobbyist computer" would be able to do this with, quote "powerful 64-bit CPU".

Alas.

And no, I'm not buying the whole "you shouldn't expect". Because, as it turns out, I can't expect this from any computer, be it hobbyist, educational, family, gamer, professional, or whatever adjectives you can put in front of it. Except Apple.
At first I was happy to see this trending as I thought this was going to talk about what I believe.

What I believe: The reasons humans are the way we are is because of how natural selection favors survival of those who are better at propagating their genes. All other behaviors tie back to that single need. That criteria are the reasons why we don't want to be "turned off" with a switch. A computer does not evolve in the same way; they don't have that same prime directive. The idea that a computer should be asked if it's ok to be turned off is applying aspects of human condition, sentiency, to an entity to which it does not apply.

One can argue that there's no way to prevent the possibility of humans eventually applying such an attribute to an entity that we've created only because that's all we know how to do. In other words, computers won't take over because one day they wake up and become sentient. It will happen because we have decided they should behave exactly as we expect a sentient being ought to behave . Thus, it becomes that way by definition.

This article was disappointing -- it went in an entirely different direction. That the math doesn't add up? Really? You can't figure out the math so it can never be done? Kinda hard to take seriously, tbh.

- C and C++ are not going anywhere.

- The methodology is mostly garbage.
recon and observer_cli are the tools I reach out first to debug any issues in production. In any other language, I usually think about how to reproduce the issue locally. With Elixir, I just get into a remote shell in the affected machine and live debug the issue, and there are cases where we applied hotfix by using eval right there from the shell. The idea of the remote shell itself is alien to most languages.
