I understand that companies want to avoid getting into legal complications over it, and that's why I think there should be some sort of legislation in place to force companies to explain decisions like this. This is becoming more and more important with time.

Something like: If you end your contract with someone because you think that they were in violation of the terms, you have to clearly list what your reasoning is for it, with no tolerance for black box answers.

DMCA takedown requests include the list of offending URLs. This should be made similar. "We terminated our contract because this, this, and this signal, make us think that you're in violation of its terms". You can then appeal, and obviously if the two parties can't come to an agreement by themselves, you can at least use the legal system.

Otherwise, we're living in a world where contracts between two parties mean nothing. Anyone can pull out of anything at any time for any reason, with no notice.
Can fixing random companies' problems can be interesting?

It sounds it is a problem but I feel it can be solved with engineering and mathematics. Not saying it would be easy though.

Couldn't you separate the storage of the refcounts from the objects and use a map to get at them?

As for the identities between types being different.

To create an subinterpreter that can marshall between subinterpreters without copying the data structures requires a different data structure that is safe to use from any interpreter. We need to decouple the book keeping data structures from the underlying data.

We can regenerate book keeping data structures during a .send or .receive

Maintaining identity equivalence is an interesting problem. I think it's a more fundamental problem that probably has mathematical solutions.

If we think of objects as being a vector in mathematical space. We have pointers between vectors in this memory space.

For a data structure to be position independent. We need some way of intending references to be global. But we don't want to introduce a layer of indirection on the reference of object relationships. That would be slower. Could use an atomic counter to ensure that identifiers are globally unique.

Don't want to serialize the access to global types.

It sounds to me it is a many-to-many to many-to-many problem. Which even databases don't solve very well.
Well, on one side we have zero examples of open engines actually working well, on other we have long nuanced history of SEO vs search engine fighting unending battle, with SEO side trying to circumvent every way the search engine is trying to stop them from poisoning the search results. And barely edging out on that.

Being idealistic about it won't change the outcome.

because he actually did nothing about it until he was fully involved.

i.e. until he was ~50 years old, when he stepped aside

his words (Sun, 16 Sep 2018):

This is my reality. I am not an emotionally empathetic kind of person
and that probably doesn't come as a big surprise to anybody. Least of
all me. The fact that I then misread people and don't realize (for
years) how badly I've judged a situation and contributed to an
unprofessional environment is not good.

Which is the same things Stallman said after they tried to push him out.

Linus is just smarter than Stallman, was preoccupied at the time that Linux development was being taken over, and released a public statement that made people happy, bu also he haven't changed much [1], because, in the end, he is who he is and we should appreciate him for what he's achieved.

[1] a year later he released this statement

people take me seriously in a way they didn't do back in 1994.

And that's absolutely not some kind of complaint about how I wasn't taken seriously back then – quite the reverse. It's more me grumbling that people take me much too seriously now, and I can't say silly stupid crap anymore.

So I'll still call out people (and particularly companies) for doing dumb things, but now I have to do it knowing that it's news, and me giving some company the finger will be remembered for a decade afterwards.

Whether deserved or not, it might not be worth it.

He realized that people were trojan horsing his words against Linux.

But he's Linus Torvalds, he's in the unfortunate position of being the face and image of the most successful OSS project ever, not some guy on a mailing list about Thunderbird, that nobody cares of.
Yes; It's not uncommon for the gubernatorial race to be highly competitive in a state where one party has a solid lock on the state legislature, for example.
> Eventually Biden and Blinken will back away from Ukraine...the US public will find another Current Thing to obsess over, and US troop commitments are completely out of the question.
Basically, Russia gets Ukraine eventually, its just a matter of how bad the carnage is

Thank you for echoing Russian state propaganda, however your predictions are predicated on false premises that don’t match the commitments already made and fulfilled.

Your scare tactics might have sounded plausible 6 months ago, but it appears impossible for Russia to ever own and manage Ukrainian territory.
The occupation has done no rebuilding, hasn’t brought drinking water supplies to occupied cities, hasn’t even managed yet to bury the bodies that still litter many streets and is an oppressive and failed occupation in every sense of the word.
Presuming that this occupation is inevitable is itself a point of major contention I can’t see any evidence for.

Russia has already lost. How many more will die before it’s leadership realizes this?

I mean but did I miss something or Thunderbird is open source? Like the author lists a bunch of functionalities that were requested for Thunderbird but weren't implemented, but they implemented in Betterbird, was it a bad thing to maybe create a pull request for Thunderbird to keep a single product? Or spotlight was the main objective?
I also came here to say this.

I have a PhD in engineering that was fairly mathematical, but I was missing lots of fundamentals and working through those books has changed my life, and the way my brain works, in a massive way.

I am mostly happy with Thunderbird.

However, I had a lot of difficulties to obtain a unified inbox/sent for each of my mail account. I succeeded by creating saved search under local folders for each mail account that unifies inbox and sent. Unfortunately I got some issues (sometimes empty title for mail, and a delay upon reception of new mails).

I previously tried to obtain the same thing with unified view.
It is a good comparison because you don't need to write your own X server to implement your own window manager, which is the part that most people care about.
Do other QM interpretations predict that quantum computers wouldn't be able to benefit from superposing N qubits over 2^N (possible) output states? As far as I understand, it's not just Copenhagen that allows for this.

Would an interpretation need to reject Bell's theorem to get there? Or could it not include superposition but still keep all of Bell's theorem?
I happen to think that "DevOps" is one of those fields that really require some kind of generalist to do well, from the hardware (and virtual hardware) level and a fairly deep understanding of networking to how to build and optimize the kinds of apps and services that will run in the infra.

Many get the title "DevOps" who are basically Ops people with a new toolkit. One of the problems with the DevOps stack, though, as working in the infra-as-code needs a dev mentality to be done right. Many traditional ops people will "program" the infra-as-code using pretty bad quality code. (often using way too much cut&paste for stuff that could be generalized.)

On the other hand, when devs switch to "devops" they often fail to have the attention to detail and sense of responsibility found with many traditional ops people.

So finding good candidates for DevOps roles is really hard, and often those positions are staffed with people who are not really suited for the paradigm.
i am very cautious making statements about "a day's work" because i've seen a lot of devs that seem to be doing two days of work every day, the whole time.

but they did not think enough, so a vast ammount of their "work" was waste anyway and discussing it also wasted other ppls time.
> I think the idea was that dick-swinging and escalating this whole deal into a war was kinda an avoidable thing, and now all we see is the sunk cost falacy

It was unavoidable because despite what Russia says they likely started this war over natural resources in Ukraine, they saw that Ukraine was going to become a massive provider of natural resources to the EU and saw that as a threat.

Because, if its really over NATO, why isn't Russia invading Finland?.

It is perfectly sensible: c++ syntax and its compilers are grostesquely and absurdely massive and complex, and this is an issue.

There is no opinion here, just facts: for instance, due to the abysmaly (the word is fair) difference between c++ and C, it is reasonable for a team of averagely skilled individuals or individuals to write a naive C compiler, which is absolutely not the case for c++.

If you don't want to acknowlegde this is a issue, at least I tried to open your eyes on the matter.

So every country in the world should simultaneously roll out this $2 2FA token?

And the governments of the world are going to do this is an anonymous way?

Who is going to manufacture these 8 billion (Or at least 3 billion if we only count Facebook's MAU) tokens?

And there still needs to be a global database of valid identifiers, else anyone could just create a software token that they can reprogram ever second.

And we expect all people to carry these 2FA tokens perfectly?

And what happens when someone looses this token? The post office has way to prove you owned that token in your proposal.

Same thing for revoking a token. There is no identity out of the token, so how do you revoke it after it is lost? People are not willing to store a piece of paper in a security deposit box.

This "easy" solution is impossible in practice.

On the mid/long term they want Taiwan back into the fold. And the US and oddly the EU seem to be ready to start a war over that. Which, like I’ve said we can’t win.

The US and Russia were inspecting each-other’s nuclear stockpiles and are/were part of several disarmament treaties which are falling apart one by one. Is there any credible authority claiming that the Russian nuclear arsenal does not fulfill its deterrent role?
That's the life of the package maintainer. You get grief from users that complain about upstream issues, and upstream that doesn't like you reporting issues to them.

Actually, this won't work with union types! The definition of `Equal` I use is this one:

T

? true
: false;

Understanding this requires a bit more context, but I'll explain why we need something so complicated in the Advanced Union Types chapter :)

I think NATO would respond, but non-nuclear. There is no need to answer tactical nuclear weapons with a nuclear strike. There are tons of NATO air forces available to strike against Russian troops in Ukrainian territory. They would just obliterate any Russian troops there.

It was a small but interesting news item, that a few days before the invasion, some of the US stealth bombers were moved to Rammstein air force base. So at any time there would be the capability of a forceful answer. But this also shows how ridiculous the claims were, that the NATO would seek to attack Russia, as that is the thing the NATO has tried hard to avoid so far.

In this day and age, the last thing you want is a large chunk of money turning up on your doorstep whose origins you cannot account for.

Its bad enough when you can prove the origins and you have to provide all the audit trail documentation. Ask anyone in the financial sector who has had to deal with compliance questions landing in their Inbox about a client's source of wealth.

When you can't prove the origins, well, "not a good look" as the old saying goes.
In all likelyhood it will be an (neural net?) AI, and then it's hard to get insight into why decisions were made.

And even if they could explain it you, it might be spurious correlations that were picked up.

There is a huge field of interpretable/fair AI and these types of questions arise in much more serious instances (e.g. where people in prison aren't given parole due an AI "assisted" decision). The state of the art seems to be that there are no easy answers as soon as you start questioning a decision by a modern AI system (or want introspection). You can only hope to not be part of the 5% of the cases where the decision is bad.

A few years ago, I read The New Testament - a translation by David Bentley Hart (an Orthodox scholar). It’s more of an academic literal translation. I read it mainly just to educate myself. I was raised in a strict “no religion” family, and I’d already explored Zen and Buddhism. So, I figured, why not educate myself in this religion that surrounds me and affects me so directly.

Well, a lot of it is what you’d expect, unfortunately. But, if you get rid of 90% of it, and focus strictly on Jesus’s Laws, I believe he represents fundamental truths.

“Love God above all else, all the time” - I find this to mean live in the present, love each moment, put love into each motion and effort. Love yourself. And,

“Love others as you love yourself” - The covenants that you make with others, the promises that you keep are the purpose of life. Treat others with compassion. Be yourself. Relish in your unique existence.

It’s really unfortunate that Jesus was eclipsed by Paul, Timothy, others.

Well, I never actually got to “belief in a higher power” (I really wanted to experience that Human concept). But, I did become a believer in Jesus’s Laws, and I still try to practice them.
The thing about free speech is, that you are not entitled to be agreed with.

And it seems, paypal really doesn't agree with the rhetoric on the daily sceptic - just at a glance this looks to be completely understandable. If, as a private company, paypal doesn't want to be associated with a website that thrives on misinformation and fearmongering, you can't really be surprised - that's just bad for business.

I completely get the argument, that free speech shall not be limited by anyone. But as a society we have to decide if free speech should also cover blatant lies and deliberate misinformation.

just as a free society should fight any movement that wants to limit the freedoms of others, sews hate or doesn't follow the principles of a free society, free speech advocates should probably fight against peddlers of misinformation.

It's not all black and white, not all or nothing with this one... we can have nuance in this debate.

This isn't hotel-specific but my tip is the following: Assume your smartphone gets lost/broken/stolen or your wallet gets lost/stolen (or a credit card gets flagged for fraud). Do you know where you're actually staying? Do you have a copy of your itinerary more generally? Do you have backup credit cards and IDs?

I'm not super-fanatical about having printed maps etc. in a familiar city but I try to have backup of everything especially traveling internationally.

For example, a few years back, I somehow managed to lose my drivers license between the limo and the terminal door. It was a short trip and I hadn't bothered to bring my backup travel portfolio. Shockingly, TSA (at least at the time) let me get on the flight after some enhanced screening. But I had a heck of a time getting the hotel--which wasn't one of my usual chains--to let me get a room.

Huxley is to me a curious example because many of the themes written about on that page is quite mainstream if we ignore the specific dated references, even amongst "normies". The idea that we are more like Brave New World than 1984 is so mainstream that it is a fairly common argument to drop on social media.

Losing your dayjob is far from a guarantee just on that basis. This is what I wanted to illustrate, that many of the ideas we think are forbidden are just ideas that are natural for our material circumstances.

The irony is that even if we are discussing anti-totalitarian measures as in this essay, we are still adopting the 'architect' mindset towards the rest of the population.
