This. All “environmental friendly” laws tend to be performative at best. Most big stores in California now offer paper bags as an option, my guess would be more than half. This law is barely going to change anything. If I would change, I would force retailers to stop wrapping everything in plastic. It’s so obnoxious that sometimes when you have two loose lemons in the basket, the cashier will inevitably lecture you on putting it in a bag so that it’s easier to handle, and sometimes might outright pull a bag themselves from under the counter and put the lemons in them. The most hilarious part about this transaction is that each lemon has a little plastic barcode attached to it for scanning, and when you do put it in a bag, you have to pull the lemon out to scan it, making it harder to handle. Nothing makes sense anymore.
It’s messy because it actually works. If JavaScript couldn’t scale indefinitely then it would never get to the point where it is messy.

npm introduced the concept of independent transitive dependencies. This is very unique when first introduced. Most other dependency managers require the importer to reconcile “conflicting dependencies”.
Yes, you can send DNT with a 0 value. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/DN...
Ads are necessary for business. Surely there are some companies with 0 marketing spend, but rather exceptional. You can say Tesla is one, but arguably their marketing expenses is Musk’s social influence, SEC and other potential regulatory fines that may eventually catch up with their self-driving campaign.

Otherwise, investing marketing money into your brand means that you have something too loose. Relatively easy to set to set up a website or a white-labeled brand, but when you put few millions into marketing it signals that you attached to that brand.

When competition is tight and cost of acquisition can eat your margin, you want to want to be laser focused on ad efficiently. Getting cost of acquisition, life time value and ROI of different cohorts is very very difficult. You need a good tracking for that. But then there are two outcomes, improve the product or invest further into invasive tracking to “engineer” customers into buying your product. When industry leans towards the latter, individual companies have to as well to stay competitive.
If you are a psychology student, you probably want to know how to write a discussion post in APA format. But what is the APA formatting style? APA is an acronym for the American Psychological Association; the most popular format in psychology and the social sciences. However, how does one compose perfect discussion posts in APA?
Begs the question - is (corporate) cultural cohesion something worth pursuing or maintaining? I've heard plenty of good arguments in favor, but the most convincing (to me) arguments are against.
Having used OpenWRT for a number of years, unfortunately the compatibility goes deeper than just the list of devices. My WRT3200ACM has had quite a few WiFi problems with mwlwifi despite being officially compatible.

If I were creating the setup today - I'd probably go for the route of having the gateway and wireless APs separate.
yeah, that's disappointing. I'm a Ruby fan and my latest startup is built on the rails stack.

It's using buildpacks though, so shouldn't it be (easily) supported?
I don't find this surprising - I remember that one case study often discussed in indian MBA courses showed that in a European country, indian-origin salespersons often performed worse than salespersons who are local citizens.

Hopefully vpype is written in a language that you are familiar with and you can make a pull request for an enhancement or two.

Or perhaps there’s a different tool that will help save time.

If not, I’m sure the plotting community would appreciate anything that you come up with.

I’ll try to do some digging later today and let you know if I find anything else, as I’m now curious.
Starlink has a separate military division led by a four-star general (Terrence O'Shaughnessy). They're not exactly making PCs.
Maybe that was the intention but it doesn't really look like a Guy Fawkes mask at all though, other than being a white face mask. Eyebrows and eye cut-outs are different, it has a full beard, it's not a v-shaped face, etc.
“Thought leadership” is the bottom of the barrel as far as Corpo-speak goes.
Hmmm. The advantage to Chetu of not paying is that other staff get the message that Chetu doesn't pay out, even if you win.
> My solution is: stop buying devices made to violate their users' privacy.

This thought process doesn't flow with me. Do you really thing some product manager at one point said "these airtags will allow complete tracking of our minions and their children, and we'll showcase them tracking other things to trick them into buying the product"?
PHP changes behaviour of core functions all the time now (and subsequently breaks old programs with every release). In every release stuff is deprecated and deprecated stuff removed. Look at https://www.php.net/manual/de/function.implode.php for a telling example and check the 8.1 changelog at https://www.php.net/releases/8.1/en.php for a list of bc breaking changes.
Yeah, don't try to make your employees be friends and family.

HOWEVER, you can still build the "work friend" camaraderie through some specific things.

For example, get together at least once a year, maybe more often for "in-person sessions" - if you have no main office just rent a room or two from a hotel and have everyone stay on premises, pay for lunch and dinner, etc. Don't force everyone to go to dinner together, but do have one nice staff dinner.

Always be late to staff meetings, give people time to chat before the meeting begins. Up to you if this is explicit or not.

Don't record everything.

It was and is still trendy. I personally do not use those domains as ccTLD's can get pulled for a myriad of reasons and with a recent ruling [1] some will likely vanish when their corresponding country [2] ceases to exist as in sovereign legal status. I can not think of a technical upside to using .io

I should add that being too affordable can also be a problem. Examples would be .info, .me and .xyz among many others were nearly given away for almost free which led to them being abused for spam/malware and thusly getting blocked by many mail providers and some firewall applications. I agree with PaulHoule that the gTLD may not have been available being one reason people use them.

UTM works great. Emulate X86, AMD64, or run on Apple Silicon. It's essentially a GUI on top of QEMU.

The different module syntax is the problem. If we just had the standard import/export syntax from the beginning I think 99% of problems would be avoided.
>Why is it legal to buy a gun but illegal to decide to end your own life?

AFAIK, in the US, suicide is not a crime. Assisting in another person's suicide is a crime in most states.

As the post you're replying to said, we could allow physicians to offer painless and dignified deaths after the patient proves they are of sound mind or will never recover from a horrible condition. Much like the courts recognize there can be reasonable limits to purchasing and possessing guns. Admittedly, I don't know what fraction of those who commit suicide do so because of a temporary mental state they could recover from with help, but I'm guessing it's the majority. If so, it'd be inhumane to remove basic barriers that might save people, even if it'd make it easier for the smaller group of people who "rightly" believe they would rather die.

This is a complex topic that touches on so many sore spots in society. But that's when I most doubt all-or-nothing stances. They tend to come from strong emotions rather than reason.
I think they are right to try to exclude nonfree parts of Linux kernel, and to try to avoid Intel ME and other things like that (but they will need to try better to make improved hardware designs that can be used, which I would think would be difficult for an organization that deals with software), but the certification requirements are a bit too strict in my opinion (while I think there are legitimate reasons to mechanically disable the GPU and WiFi (to save power, avoid unwanted communications, etc), this should not be permanent; it should be possible to re-enable them if their functionality is desired, and free replacement firmware can be used (they could, if desired, make them disabled by default and not include any nonfree firmware with it so that they cannot be used without free firmware, I hope)), and I think they are wrong to remove "ns-do-applescript" (they could, if needed, put it in a separate file which can be omitted if you are not using AppleScript, and there is also possibility of making FOSS implementation of AppleScript in future on other systems possibly, even if for now there might not be).
>I won't even address the "suicide kit" claim since that is simply sensationalist reporting.

It's a term commonly used in sucide forums for at least decade.
No they do not convey equivalent information, because the information content isn't just the number of states, it's the encoding mechanism too.

For instance suppose you encode the position of missile strikes on some land area in a 16x16 grid, meaning 8 bits of information.

Another person uses only six bits of information, encoding the missile strike position as degrees and distance from the center point of the grid.

Then it turns out the latter method is more accurate because the missiles tend to always strike pretty close to the center of the grid.

The specific patterns of voter preference that emerge in a realistic scenario are counterintuitive and can end up being more accurately measured by the kind of expression approval voting allows. You can get people who have radically different intensity of preference but the same order of preference so that they look identical to a ranked voting method but appear different to approval voting based on their thresholds.

In addition, you have tactical behavior, as well as the efficiency of how the voting method uses the information on the ballots. When you combine all of these factors together, approval voting tends to perform better than ranked voting methods.

Explicitly watching for zero crossing seems like a rather limiting approach to quantifying a sine wave. Even then, at 48Khz you should get 400 samples between zero crossings, so you should do better than 0.5% accuracy.

There's a lot of information held within the time series data of an audio signal, and something like an FFT can tap into it. For a 60Hz signal the Nyquist frequency is 120Hz, which is well below any audio interface. It seems like accuracy of any processing would be limited by a crystal oscillator somewhere more than anything, and perhaps any unintentional signal aliasing if there's no low pass filter before the audio interface's ADC.
I feel your pain on this. As an occasional NPM library author, I feel that Typescript can help with this, although NPM itself is not structured in a way that compliments Typescript: it’s awkward to write in Typescript, publish to javascript, then consumers fetch your library and go back to writing in Typescript.
Great. Do we have a current declassified list of what our enemies targets would be in the U.S.?
There is already much user demand & vendor support for running virtual machines (including for Windows) on Apple hardware, through Parallels, VMWare and Qemu.

Like there are options for containers, it is great to have another option for virtual machines.
With UTM, I can already run GUI Linux arm64 on an M1 mac - on macOS 12.x. Works fine at least for 2d desktop stuff.

I think UTM's arm64-macos guest support on arm64-macos12 hosts already use the macOS virtualization framework? Or is it hypervisor framework? Either way performance is very good.
If the process was good, the tickets would be handled properly but perhaps with delays - that would be a growing pain. They can solve issues but slowly.

Support being clueless and unable to solve problems means thst the process is bad.
The world is worst because a trillion dollar company don't have the incentive to operate responsibly. Because they don't care, and shrug responsibility at every turn. Because they are not willing to uphold any standards. Nobody expects a bubble-wrap, just a recommendation engine that's safe around chemicals. What an expectations from a trillion dollar company. Please don't recommend dangerous chemicals to children or information that tells them how to harm themselves.

By the way your car is not a death-trap because of us nagging the industry to do better. You are welcome!
Nice shortcut, thanks! I do love shortcuts. :)
Yeah, but it sounds like the NL subsidiary doesn't employ a NL lawyer; or maybe they do, but just don't listen to him.
I think there are a few things here that are kind of unique to the js/web platform.

- JS doesn’t have a proper standard library and so you tend to have many more dependancies in a project than with other languages.

- Because of that you then have a very large tree of dependancies, often with incompatible version requirements of the same package.

- Due to the nature of needing to “bundle” your code for distribution on a “slow” network, a lot of optimisations (tree shaking, code splitting, async module loading) are required to minimise your bundle size.

- You say “We only have a few module types”, that’s two more that every other language. And they are incomparable in subtle ways.

Those and some other issues are completely unique to the web platform, they are some difficult problems to solve.

However, I think the current generation of tooling has finally got there. Vite, with its esbuild and Rollup backend is bloody brilliant. If you use a framework with official Vite support it just works.

> Why would a writer do that specifically on Medium

If it made Medium the go-to place for people looking for high quality content that was free of SEO spammy articles, that would be an excellent reason.

Heck, I write articles and I'd pay to have my article posted on a well-regarded site. But I see no point to posting it on free sites with a reputation for low quality. There's an old saying "it's free and worth every penny".

Instead I post them on sites under my control, like digitalmars.com, where I can control the quality of the site.
What's the local development story with CF workers and durable objects?

I mostly care about the ability to test locally (both automated and manual tests), and how composable everything is (fast tests too)?
> The dastarty act of providing military, police, firefighting, law, justice, social services - all the things that make you live in a modern society instead of living in the former late feudal society where you wouldn't even have the social rank in order to be able to talk against your feudal lord in public like this.

If I don't support these things, or wish to take away their funding due to my displeasure with the service received I could do that if they were private. I cannot do that when every year the government puts a gun to my head and tells me to pay them 30% of my gross.

You've fallen into the classic socialist false dichotomy. Either you support taxes or you will be a serf.

The truth is taxes are the payment you're giving your lord (the government). You don't even own your own property. Try not paying your property tax (maybe it's too expensive?) and they take it away. Try not paying your taxes and they will start to take everything you own. This is the definition of theft. Coercing someone to part with their property through threats of violence.

All taxes are evil. A good compromise is the ability to take 5 extra minutes on my 1040 to put percentages where I want my money to go. I dont care if this overcomplicates the situation. We take in trillions in taxes a year and yet the only people who seem to benefit are the Nancy Pelosis. Somehow despite being a public servant is worth more than many top-tier entertainers. If I could put most of my money into school, hospitals, firefighters, and EMTs I would. Why would I fund police who drive around in veritable APCs treating every honest hard working American as a potential "insurgent" in their own land? Why are my tax dollars being shipped overseas to Ukraine when there's uncountable suffering here? Because we don't control it, our money is stolen, and the ill gotten gains are used to do whatever the kings and queens in congress decide. We are serfs, they've just managed to hide it.

Ask yourself do you feel good about where your taxes go?

>What religious delirium.

Like all socialists, you are the delirious one. It's just socialist indoctrination has better tasting koolaid with less assumption of responsibility.
I use a merchant account because it has significantly lower transaction fees, as low as 0.05% vs 2.9% for debit and check cards for example.
Braintree customer here (subscriptions). I'm surprised you found their APIs well documented, I have a terrible time every time I have to revisit the integration, which I have to do every (roughly) year or so. The whole 3DS2 migration in particular was very poorly handled, with documentation that had nothing to do with my use case.

One more thing which I'm not sure you ran into: Braintree will eventually, at an arbitrary moment that you cannot predict or plan for, block all of your incoming funds and begin an audit. That audit can take anywhere from around a week to multiple weeks, during which time things will appear normal to your customers, but no funds will be disbursed to you. They will request various documents from you, some of which will feel somewhat invasive. From what I understand, this is routine procedure, usually tied to your monthly billing amounts, but could be triggered by other factors as well (unknown).

So, it's better to make sure the business can handle a several week long suspension in disbursements.
They were speaking about Log In session cookies that is what I was referring to. I don't know what legal status of session cookies is but they are required in order for a website to track if you are logged in or not otherwise you would need to log in constantly.

But I get your point, purpose of a cookie is important.
> You would know this if you had ever spoken to someone in your life, ever, who has had depressive or suicidal thoughts.

Actually I'm a trustee of a registered charity that provides support to people with a wide range of serious welfare and mental health issues and have dealt with them in practice multiple times, providing a great deal of support from my own personal time to people struggling.

I'm sorry that you made an incorrect assumption. I'm afraid that I find it's pretty typical among people who think they should have a right to control others.
Only about two decades too late.
The opposite would be much more interesting and finally make cross-platform CI bearable without relying on closed source third-parties.
I’ve never seen these. I don’t know if it’s because I disable third party cookies, because I never log into Google using my main browser profile, or because of my ad blocker.
Exactly.

Good scientific claims don’t need to form a pseudo-religion around their “findings” and push to censor anyone who disagrees.
The EU already has this but for some insane reason there are no electronic SEPA mandates only paper ones, also you must request the cancellation of the SEPA mandate from the merchant.
Braintree has a similar product. But they were bought by PayPal several years ago, so you are getting into that mess of a company.
Honestly just don’t think you can in any way that will be meaningful like IRL is.

Video chat and the delays and how only one person can talk at once it just isn’t possible to have proper conversation and connections.

Before the pandemic I would have believed it’s possible but now I just don’t care about remote workers anymore because I have been burned multiple times by them in ways that would never happen with IRL teammates.
Your question is not clear; are you trying to call into C++ libraries from Rust/Swift using their FFI to C?

Something like this?

Rust/Swift -> <FFI> - > C -> C++ libraries

If so, you first need to understand ABIs and the C ABI in particular. Start here - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2171177/what-is-an-appli...

Providing a C interface to C++ is done using "extern C" - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1041866/what-is-the-effe...

So you should now have a binary C++ library but which exposes its public interfaces using C language conventions and linkage i.e. C ABI.

You can now call into the above using your Rust/Swift FFI. I am not familiar with these so you will have to look at their FFI docs. Here is one for Swift - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24004732/how-to-call-c-f...

Be very careful about strictly following the rules for FFI since you are bridging two different languages with their own semantics and runtimes which could be very different from each other. See - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_function_interface

The key is to understand what a ABI is and how the C ABI has become sort of de-facto standard for FFIs.
Indeed there are people who physically feel their depression so profoundly that they are barely able to lift themselves from their beds in the morning. Depression has nothing to do with being 'down in the dumps' and has to last more than 2 weeks before it becomes a clinical case.

While suicide might seem like a cowardly way out to some, there are other sufferers who choose to take their chances with electro-shock therapy, which has experienced rejuvenated interest over the past 20 years. It should be clear, however, that anyone pursuing it has exhausted all over treatment and is still suffering to some great extent.
