Funny. I just heard literally the opposite complain a couple hours ago: that the EU advertisements are getting obnoxious. Virtually every single infrastructure project that is even partially financed by a EU agency shows all the appropriate logos almost everywhere.
That seems to be what the case will turn on: The difference between the government providing "advice" or "helpful recommendations" and implicit/explicit coercion. I don't know enough about the details here to have a strong opinion of which view is right in this case, but that seems like the central issue.
My comment is not specific to the narrow focus of the article, but rather the larger conversation on this topic which which likely spurred this article. I'm referring to various proposed legislation that would mandate specific moderation, not something that has already occurred.
Notably, the examples in the OP article are slower by many thousands of ms, not just hundreds.

Either way, the post isn't saying you have to abandon app-like experiences. It's only about improving initial HTML delivery regardless of what you do after that.
The question is why now? Distros have for the longest time worked as curated sets of dependencies without "nuclear" options such as containers. At the same time, there have been exactly zero new end-user apps on Linux for over a decade. Incidentally just today I bought a MBP after 12 years on Linux. Won't miss the stagnation, bike shedding, nerding around with new unproven languages, projecting everything into the "next big thing" such as rust, systemd, containers while delivering very little, the DE regressions, comical lack of apps, qa, taste, professionalism, and common sense.
If that were even remotely true then Silicon Valley would already be in Bentonville, Arkansas.
You don't understand how long it takes demographic shifts to change a culture, nor the political backlash and parties being voted into power as a result of these consequences.

Agreed. I supported a relatively large retail app (about a million users) with a team of 5-8. Apple review process was always a risk. I've had times as well where my submission was denied, but in the appeal process would point to a larger app that did the same thing and it would rarely help.

Self-employed Aspie's take:

I know exactly why I was "fired all the time" in my earlier working life (as a lowly electrician): perfectionism and needing to "be correct" about a technical aspect of a problem, whatever the social cost. Perfection is the enemy of progress. The world advances on "good enough."

Reading "Flowers for Algernon" really helped me to realize that part of whole humanness is TOLERANCE and realizing that everybody makes mistakes, nobody has all the answers, and that social niceties exist for very human reasons.

I always tell people "one of the great things about being a pessimist is that when you're wrong GOOD THINGS HAPPEN." I WANT to be WRONG more often; every day is a social struggle to not judge others' all-encompassing wrongs as I struggle through my own wrongings.

The article didn’t even consider the possibility that tech companies just happen to disagree with the Great Barrington Declaration and saw it as speculation and misinformation, which it is to some degree. It also doesn’t discuss the possibility that this Declaration was signed by a small minority of scientists. Instead, it spends all it’s time trying to frame this as a conspiracy, a large group being silenced by a small group of powerful people.

The saddest part is that the stated goal of the GBD is exactly the same as the stated goal behind our lockdowns, to minimize the death toll while things settle. Framing this as opposing parties with opposing goals is more about tribal politics than about the facts of the debate or about free speech.

The Constitution makes clear that Freedom of Speech is not absolute, and does not extend to some kinds of speech that can be harmful to society. This is a case where this speech might turn out to be a False Statement of Fact that is not protected and should not be spread, because of the ramifications it has on people’s lives. The merits of the argument are very relevant to the question of whether there is a constitutional responsibility, according to the constitution!

I'm taking that you haven't lived in those countries to say that. I lived in Mali for 2 years. They are never going to join us in the club of first-world standards living, they have no resources but sand in their country, not enough tree to make paper to write on. Their society was perfectly adapted to that before we told them they should have computers that they can't affort because they have nothing to contribute to a global economy.

Besides, you assume you need more people to be developped, while France is only 60 millions people, smaller than a lot of developping country.

The speed of the programming language, in many applications, is a lot less relevant than the overall architecture. For example if you’re running a Web server and you’re serving a request through some hyper optimized C program, that is “fast”. But using a CDN in front of a slow Python server is almost always going to be faster for end users. Point is, the application is often just one part of a system. Python might let you develop quickly and avoid footguns, and having one slow link in the system doesn’t mean the system as a whole is gonna suck
Is zero better than 0xDEADBEEF or just faster?

I agree its dumb that its so difficult to just copy a single message without the header. But select more than just that one message and paste it, and it makes sense why its there.

It should be easier to just get the body of text from one message while still giving those timestamp headers for multi-message selection. No reason why they can't figure out a better way to have both.
That doesn't seem like a problem - that seems like a feature. Maybe "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" just stuck with me, but a just society doesn't sacrifice the prosperity of a few for the "greater good".

> They also apparently spend 1 billion per year on translators.

Now that the UK is out of the Union, it would be nice for sanity to prevail and most of those translators be made redundant. Except for drafting official multi-language legal documents, the bulk of the proceedings can go on in English, and EMPs that require translation services should request them from their own countries.

It will never happen, but one can surely dream.
Thanks for clarifying! :)
I have an other gripe with that page:

> [about std::make_shared] This function is useful because objects might throw exceptions during construction and if they do we still need to call delete on the pointer we received from new otherwise we will leak the pointer.

This is oversimplified and just plain incorrect. There was never a possibility that a statement like `auto sh_ptr = shared_ptr<Widget>(new Widget);` could leak.

However possibility for leak existed for calls like `foo(shared_ptr<Widget>(new Widget), shared_ptr<Widget>(new Widget))`, because evaluation of function arguments were unsequenced. This hole was fixed in the language in C++17, where function arguments became indeterminately sequenced.

And possible advantage for `make_shared` is the shared allocation for the control block and the object. It is not a clear advantage, as remaining `weak_ptr`s keep the whole allocation alive, even after the object itself is destroyed. But I wouldn't include this to a tutorial.

One annoying place where you can't use `make_shared` and `make_unique` is for invoking private constructors, even in a context where you could use the private constructor directly (like a static factory function within the same class). Since `make_shared` and `make_unique` are typically not friends of your class, they can't call the constructor indirectly. There are some workarounds for this, but the easiest way is just to use `new` here, it's fine.
The computational complexity of brute-force simulating many-body quantum systems scales exponentially in the number of particles. There is no supercomputer on earth that can simulate a realistic solid.
Lightning is a lot less untraceable than people think. Settlement payments on a lightning channel are still traceable, and can be matched up. Also, lightning nodes get a lot of information about transactions that they don't publish to the blockchain, and you can bet that most lightning nodes that are around today keep logs. Most of them are run by big crypto companies, several of which are US-based.
What they did with their manufacturers is a different issue, but in general they offer a lot more options than Apple. Android allows Manufacturers (such as Amazon and Samsung) to have their own app stores and allows for side loading apps, both of which are impossible with Apple.
That might be a viable path if not for push notifications and the fact that companies want an app more than anything. I've used cross platform frameworks in the past and had the web version up and all I hear is "when app?", even though it's the same codebase, same look, sometimes without even leveraging anything like push notifications or other app-only features. They literally will not even look at the web version. I've proven this over 10+ different companies. I deliver the web version, then I get started on app store hell and only after the app (iOS is all they often care about, at least at the start) is out do they start giving feedback. It's frustrating since they normally have had access to the identical web version for weeks but they just don't care.

I love the web, but users and companies just want apps, and I want to get paid.
Well, it doesn't seem to be keeping a lot of companies and people from heading to Texas, especially Austin.
I can imagine that is type of things are the best possible way to visualize the scales that we are living in.

I think regardless of the contents or topic of this write-up the conclusion is easy: stop using corporate social media exclusively (... I say on HN). The key to a healthy web is POSSE: Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere.

We really need the equivalent of jail time for companies. Clearly after a certain size, fines do not cut it. Jailing executives is too hard, so laws should exist that remove the company from a market for x years or something, like if they were in a cell.
>I can't wait until someone forks guix without the whole ideology thing.

There's no reason to fork Guix since ideology doesn't affect the software itself at all. Rather what you want is make an alternative definitions repo. Pretty sure I've seen such one that includes software not accepted on official channels.
I see. BTW, it looks like whatever caused your old account to be deleted carried over to this one, I'm only seeing your comments because I have my showdead on.
Not yet, but I plan to try, thanks for the suggestion. It is definitely a better idea, a pity that some publishers withdrawed from that service.

You can't "undo" political violence or political pardons, which are among the numerous things he did in his final days in power.
Yep, still typical in many Fortune 500 consulting shops.
Indeed! It is a quite telling story about the messy inner workings of scientific discoveries.

In the case of Neptune, Le Verrier hit the nail right on its head (where others suggested a limit to Newton's theory of gravity).
This tremendous feat gave him all the reason to search for other perturbations around the sky to find unknown objects.

So, by 1859 he was the first to find Mercury not completely adhering to Newtonian mechanics (anomalous rate of precession of the perihelion[0]), therefore he postulated smaller unseen objects in its vicinity, even naming a possible planet Vulcan.

But there, he was wrong and Newton's law really hit a limit here at such proximity to the sun.

Ironically not at "long distances" as suggested in the anomaly of Uranus' orbit. Also, Einstein within his GR framework correctly predicted the value of deflection of "starlight passing very close to the sun" in 1915 which was validated by the measurements of Eddington taking advantage of a total eclipse in 1919 --- a natural occurring coronagraph (a big moon) of the Sun from Earth's view ;)

P.S.:
I forgot to mention D'Arrest[1] role in finding Neptune in the sky:

> While still a student at the University of Berlin, d'Arrest was party to Johann Gottfried Galle's search for Neptune. On 23 September 1846, he suggested that a recently drawn chart of the sky, in the region of Urbain Le Verrier's predicted location, could be compared with the current sky to seek the displacement characteristic of a planet, as opposed to a stationary star.

To me the core of this issue is that sometimes government officials truly believe their missions are more important than free speech. They may think that their job is actually to suppress free speech unfortunately.

Especially common is for national security to override free speech in the minds of government officials. They can easily convince themselves that they need to suppress certain viewpoints in order to save many lives. It just coincidentally also saves their own jobs.

I think unfortunately that young people would prefer less free speech and for the government to enforce more confirming perspectives.

One other core issue for people who want the tech companies to stop listening to government to consider is the fact that the government has police, guns, prisons, and legal sanctions available to enforce it's policy decisions.

"a movie was made" isn't exactly a gotcha or any sort of validation, anyone can make a movie. In this case the "anyone" is Breitbart.

If you want an idea of Breitbart's motives... they specifically cast an actress due to her controversial statements, for example. Earlier this year she claimed the war in Ukraine was a fake plot because “they lost control of the COVID narrative.”

"Recommendation" doesn't mean what you're implying when its coming from an entity who is responsible for tens of billions of dollars in revenue for you and for whom losing the favor of could easily result in the collapse of your business.

It also doesn't mean the same thing when, in many cases, the governments and the huge corporations are intermingled so heavily that public or private is more a matter of semantics than reality.

Not along a particular channel, but right to hear is an important principle.

As Frederick Douglass, a former slave and writer, wisely stated, “To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the right of the hearer as well as those of the speaker. It is just as criminal to rob a man of his right to speak and hear as it would be to rob him of his money.”

if you would actually visit (not only) poorer parts of EU, you would find entire new roads built or repaired completely by EU funds. Parks created, playgrounds built, many many useful things for common population. Companies can apply for various funds ie to get more eco-friendly.

I have been wondering if using a human 3d model (which are quite real, but not 100% there yet) can be overwritten by better texturing -after the render- for complete immersion. So you use a motion tracked animation of a 3d model (or static for a picture) and then apply a way to make the last bit more convincing with better texture and lighting.
The billboards in San Francisco off Hwy 80 and Hwy 101 never cease to surprise me.

The tech culture is so ingrained that even the non-techies are oblivious to how deeply rooted it is.
I use alarms instead of timers for most things because of snooze. For stuff like laundry, this is critical to me because I often will turn off a timer's alert thinking "I'll get to this in a minute" but without snooze I forget until the next morning.
Your GDP figures are misleading also. Your comparison of Q4 2019 GDP and Q2 2022 GDP doesn't reflect the fact that the measuring stick, the USD, has grown considerably in that timeframe. The USD has been increasing in value and the GDP has increased as measured in USD in that timeframe.

The OP's point was the inflation being experienced today isn't primarily due to monetary policy issues but actual supply contraction and the Fed's response of using monetary policy to resolve a supply issue is having several negative consequences, such as making the housing crisis worse as you point out.
That would be such a dream!
I haven't used it for nearly a year now, but in my last role we used ES for user-facing search. We had to turn to documentation, forums and support for a lot of problems we faced and I got the impression ES was mostly being used for logs while user-facing search was the less common use case. Support didn't have answers for us on a number of occasions and online documentation was equally sparse.

Kibana was killer, though.
