> and I now work on the browser that comes out of the box with any Windows machine (working on a Mac most of the time).

Is this why Microsoft products are getting progressively worse every year? How can you work on a product and then never use it natively and expect other people to enjoy using it? Or worse, like with windows 11, it leads to the product morphing into something the users never wanted. Because developers want to conform it to what they're used to using. I don't know, it kind of baffles me the way most developers view the products they make.
I tried really hard to find a point somewhere in there, but couldn’t. It felt like the author was padding out his complaint, whatever it was, for the sake of word count. Was this written by GPT-3?
I find it amusing you continue with the Cathy Newman reenactment.

>So the government should pass laws that tell private companies what they can’t talk about.

Yes, they should not allow private companies to spew and enforce systems of prejudices.

> But the government should also pass laws that force companies to publish every other opinion?

Yes, that's the free speech part, you know.

> Isn’t that the government now controlling free speech?

Not even close.

> Isn’t the government in fact pushing a narrative when they don’t allow companies to focus on sexual an racial harassment?

Except it only happens when it doesn't actually happen, and you look through a lens of prejudices, like the law attempted to prohibit. We have a justice system for when it actually does happen, though.

> Should companies not train interviewers that you shouldn’t discriminate based on someone’s accent or where they went to school?

And that is exactly what the law would prevent; "teaching or business practices that contend members of one ethnic group are inherently racist and should feel guilt for past actions committed by others".
> If I don't trust you, when you repeat the nonsense from Sweden's government, why do you think I'd trust a random blogger?

It really does seem like you're right-wing conspiracy theorist, given the diverse set of sources you don't trust. And I cited far more than BRÅ.

> skim wikipedia

I'm saying you didn't do the first steps of checking the supporting resources on Wikipedia.

I go to Google Scholar. And I pointed you towards some of them, so you know I'm not only skimming Wikipedia.

What scholarly resources I can find substantially support the conclusions BRÅ reported, and include sources which are different from, and even predating that report.

Point me to a actual scholarly paper which substantiates the substance of your argument. Scholars love to demonstrate how others are wrong.

I see you mentioned "On Denmark's government website".

You'll note we live in 2022, and you must surely know that Denmark changed their laws in the last few years to be more aligned with Sweden's, in part because of the Amnesty International report "Time for Change: Justice for Rape Survivors in the Nordic Countries". (I learned all this by reading papers found through Google Scholar, so it wasn't hard.)

Before then, Danish law required the prosecutor to demonstrate the accused rapist used violence, threats, etc.

Now, that's great - Danish law got better. And as as a result, your #1 has the note "A new concept of consent regarding rape is taking effect from 1st of January 2021 which has resulted in new ways for the police to register offences regarding rape. This has to be taken into account when comparing data over time."

Which is why if you extend it back using "Get your own statistics in the Statbank about Reported criminal offences (STRAF11)" you'll see a clear trend upwards in 'Sexual offenses, total' starting in 2021. (Compare 6,320 in 2018 and 5,548 in 2019 to 8,788 in the last four quarters.)

Which is what I would expect from broadening the definition of rape.

So great, perhaps Sweden and Denmark have identical definitions and statistics now.

But the baseless right-wing claims that Sweden is the rape capital of Europe, etc., came out in 2017, so you need to be talking about how they were then.

And the resources I linked to - all of which you deride as outdated, biased, or otherwise nonsense - support the analysis in the BRÅ report.
It's got about the same hype that node or Go got, so it's not like you need a high level of perfection for that. Never mind that some of that is coming from a crowd I'm not too fond of.

Personally, I don't think it's worth all that just to avoid a garbage collector, but it's not like there are that many decent compile languages with GC currently on the hype train.
Stealing prep might work in something like a world championship game where the two participants play dozen or more games. It would be much harder to steal the prep of half of your opponents in a round robin tournament. Also, if you assume that Niemann is cheating and his real rating is 2450, not high 2600s like it is officially now, then no amount of prep stealing will make him competitive with Magnus.

This is happening because you pitched to them x amount of time for x amount of money. Instead re-frame it as included in the price is: server maintenance, backup scheduling, bug fixes and monitoring, minor tweaks etc.

When you frame the monthly cost like this, the customer feels almost like it's an insurance policy rather than paying for your time they aren't using.
I think that's an important question. Did user take the photo within the app, thereby skipping the camera roll, or did they take the photo, then upload to WhatsApp from camera roll. If the latter than as someone else said, could be that Instagram had access to camera roll and decided to serve ads based upon the puzzle.

I kept waiting for the part where compelling information would be presented. It boils down to “some businesses don’t care to make great coffee because people will buy mediocre coffee”.

The entire article could be about any other food or drink and would be just as true, but also similarly obvious.

I felt a little ripped off after getting to the end. I was looking forward to expert information to provide some interesting insights.

I got the equivalent of “some places make a bad ribeye, but they’ll still charge you $50!”. Of course, and you just make a mental note and go somewhere else next time. That’s it.

Question for other UK contractors here - it is just me or do you also find that a significant portion of developer roles advertised "outside IR35" don't actually feel "outside" at all and could be risky if you didn't have mitigating factors on your own side (such as working for multiple clients, hiring subcontractors/employees, offering services, etc)?

This is just redefining terms, then.

We know the app decrypts it to display it. But if the app decrypts it to send it to the parent company, then it is by definition not end to end encrypted anymore.

If the app decrypts it, analyzes it and sends information about the message to the parent company, then the same thing is happening. The parent company is reading the message, INSTEAD of E2E encrypting it. It doesn't matter whether that reading happens on device or on the company's servers. E2E means the company is not reading it.

What's scarier than secretly reading messages is the idea that we are being manipulated into believing that we thought of the "random item" all on our own, instead of it being cleverly triggered by a series of manipulative ads or posts from friends.

Or, a similar idea is that ad companies don't really need to know anything about you so long as all your friends are "unprotected".

For example, you may pick "lawn furniture" as your "totally random" item to test WhatsApp. What you don't remember is that a good friend mentioned lawn furniture to you 3 days ago and just did 14 web searches on Google and FB marketplace to find some. They have strong metadata ties to you, so you get served ads on that topic too.
You also have to factor in confirmation bias-type effects where when you are looking for something everything seems related. If you are seeing dozens of ads a day on Instagram and suddenly you have some "random" topic in your head you will mentally connect them.

Maybe this could be counteracted by something like:

1. Generate multiple random topics and only send one across WhatsApp. Count "related" ads for each.

2. For every other random topic don't send ti across WhatsApp and see if you still find "related" ads.

> In cruise mode Concorde was as efficient as a Boeing 747.

Yes - a plane that carries 550 passengers vs a plane carrying 100.

Also, the game has changed a fair bit - no one is building 4 engined planes anymore - because while it was about as efficient as a 747, it’s going to be less than half as efficient as a 777. That carries 400 passengers.
Chess became a joke today. People decide if you cheat or not just based on your moves and results. It's nonsense. It's like deciding if an athlete is cheating or not without doping tests - solely based on the "distribution" of success. And Magnus behavior - hinting accusations again and again - is far from ethical too.
> There is, I think, couple of ways to do it. One way would be to not be greedy and only get help from time to time. So if I was the player I would not rely for the algorithm for every move, just sometimes. Just enough so that it makes a difference.

This is something Magnus has said before as well (paraphrasing): "If I got engine help for just one or two positions a game I would win every time."
On one hand The IBM System/38 used 128 bit pointers in the 1970s, despite having a 48 bit physical address bus. These were used to manage persistent objects on disk or network with unique ids a lot like uuids.

On the other hand, filling out a 64 bit address space looks tough. I struggled to find something of the same magnitude of 2^64 and I got ‘number of iron atoms in an iron filing’, From a nanotechnological point of view a memory bank that size is feasible (fits in a rack at 10,000 atoms per bit) but progress in semiconductors is slowing down. Features are still getting smaller but they aren’t getting cheaper anymore.

Kind of baked into the concept of priviliege is the idea that different individuals get different benefits in different situations.

It's always strange to read attacks on "privilege" as a concept that are in themselves arguments for the concept. But I guess that's also a great example of the reason it's a useful concept.

Even your comment that women are more neurotic is a great example of something you believe is out of people's control, but rather than being glad you don't have that specific problem you are attacking people who do as if it was a personal failing they chose to exhibit and you're less neurotic because you just bravely chose not to be a woman, unlike those lazy slackers who didn't bother to make that simple change.

You wouldn't. The article itself says:

"What about the range-based for loop introduced in C++11?

Good news! It works fine. It is syntactic sugar for almost exactly the iterator-based version above, with the end pointer captured once before the loop, and so it performs equivalently."

Sadly (or ironically?) the solution might be "less people" through "more energy infrastructure and production." I.e. development for whatever reason seems to drive population growth down, to the point where most of the west is losing population.

> How would this look in the kernel? Wilcox had originally thought that, on a 128-bit system, an int should be 32 bits, long would be 64 bits, and both long long and pointer types would be 128 bits. But that runs afoul of deeply rooted assumptions in the kernel that long has the same size as the CPU's registers, and that long can also hold a pointer value. The conclusion is that long must be a 128-bit type.

Can anyone explain the rationale for not simply naming types after their size? In many programming languages, rather than this arcane terminology, “i16”, “i32”, “i64”, and “i128” simpy exist.
There’s mitigation options but they all have their limitations / issues:

- caffeine pill to wake up, then coffee for the taste / comfort

- brew in the evening (at home when flying out, at the hotel when flying back in) and store in a quality insulated mug, using a zojirushi, freshly brewed coffee in yields too-hot-to-drink 10 hours later (but that’s nothing a travel mug and waiting a few minutes can’t solve).

- there’s also the flash-frozen thing which Hoffmann showed and seemed happy about, but I think it needs to remain frozen (it can’t be stored at room temp) which is not super convenient when travelling unless you have good logistics (or regularly travel back and forth so could have stashes at critical locations)

- similar situation (travel between known location), do better recon and find an acceptable coffee shop on the way (then hope they don’t go out of business)
I traveled a lot and didn't necessarily charge daily on my primary computer. I can't say I really remember all the details--and there may well have been factors beyond easy syncing--but I didn't regularly listen to podcasts until I got an iPhone around 2010.
Don't forget about the banner advertisement which is lazily loaded and shifts the content you're reading so far down you can't see it anymore.
I think this is being approached incorrectly. The thing that stands out to me is that people find his analysis of games to be poor. If he can't explain his reasoning, it suggests he may not have reasoned it. This is interesting as there's two sides to this problem. One is that he is good at chess and could be cheating. The other is that he is actually not great at chess and could be cheating.

If people think his analysis skills are weak, then it suggests the latter case, which seems easier to test.

I agree, I'm pretty sure 2. is not the case; I just listed it as a theoretical possibility. Despite all the bad press and problems, FB has very (very) high integrity and standards, at least the parts I saw.
> Somehow, the modern world has fooled us into believing that this is a sufficient criteria to exist as an individual.

> You're just a person who makes a purchase.

That's how you know capitalists won, most people don't even question it, dangle the new toy in front of their eyes and they'll buy it in a heartbeat. You _are_ what you consume. Most hobbies are now consumption hobby, you have to get the most exotic or expensive gadget to show your peer you're better than them.

> The proliferation of faddish gadgets reflects the fact that as the mass of commodities becomes increasingly absurd, absurdity itself becomes a commodity.

> Reified people proudly display the proofs of their intimacy with the commodity. Like the old religious fetishism, with its convulsionary raptures and miraculous cures, the fetishism of commodities generates its own moments of fervent exaltation. All this is useful for only one purpose: producing habitual submission.

> The pseudoneeds imposed by modern consumerism cannot be opposed by any genuine needs or desires that are not themselves also shaped by society and its history. But commodity abundance represents a total break in the organic development of social needs. Its mechanical accumulation unleashes an unlimited artificiality which overpowers any living desire.
> Considering how easy it is to implement these things without anyone noticing since it's closed source

I see you’ve never heard of Jane Manchun Wong...
The irony is that it mostly doesn't any more. There are several different types of employment status and business relationship recognised in legal and tax rules but one way or another the person actually doing the work ends up paying a very similar rate of tax in all of them now.

Since the government started taxing dividends at significant rates on top of the corporation tax already paid any small owner-run businesses that pay out via salary+dividend arrangements are close to the same total tax level as an employee pays in income tax and NI. You're actually quite a bit worse off financially now if you equate gross revenue for the business with salary for an employee because the business has to cover all its own costs in terms of paid time off, pension contributions and so on. And of course you have none of the job security and other protections that employees have under our system.

The only ones who really win big under the current system seem to be the employers of disguised employees because they can dodge employer NI contributions if they pay via a Ltd company outside IR35. But they solved the problem of getting hit with employer NI under IR35 by forcing contractors to work through umbrella companies and then pay all of the costs for both employee and employer themselves. And since that has widely been done inappropriately through blanket policies and lazy status determinations since the rules that are now to be repealed were introduced the one really big tax anomaly in the whole system is the legitimate contractors (and other independents like freelancers) who have been hit with a far higher tax bill than anyone else.

Citing Jacobabad as an example of upcoming wet bulb apocalypse is bit disingenuous IMO. It is one of the 2 hottest cities on the planet and routinely sees temperatures upto 52˚C. Maybe it is due to it's geographical location at the end of the Tharparkar desert and has a hot desert climate?

Two things stand out from the article you shared.

> it is an agricultural hub fed by irrigation canals.

John Jacob used his civil engineering skills to build the Begaree canal which made this possible. It was an arid semi-desert landscape before that for centuries.

> The region sits on the Tropic of Cancer, meaning the sun is close to overhead during the summer.

So do Bikaner, Agra, Aligadh, Lucknow etc along with half of India, but they've never had a wet-bulb scenario in history like Jacobabad had. I will search for the data, but so far nothing comes up.

I understand the threat of climate change is real , but I would love to see more data that supports this wet bulb theory in the subcontinent.
The most convincing theory around this drama is that Magnus employed just such a honeypot by playing an obscure move Niemann responded perfectly to but was unable to later explain.
