> ISDN-BRI never gained popularity as a general use telephone access technology in Canada and the US, and remains a niche product. The service was seen as "a solution in search of a problem", and the extensive array of options and features were difficult for customers to understand and use. ISDN has long been known by derogatory backronyms highlighting these issues, such as It Still Does Nothing, Innovations Subscribers Don't Need, and I Still Don't kNow, or, from the supposed standpoint of telephone companies, I Smell Dollars Now.

Wow, that explains everything why Americans insist that analog is the way. I will always miss ISDN, but the march of technology insist on IP I guess.

If it was about wanting everything to be free, Mapbox wouldn't be the most common non-Google map provider. Google's free tier is more generous and their data is usually better. A few points that particularly bother me:

1. Google gets a lot of this data from their users (both from traditional crowdsourcing and sneaky things like tracking Android phones) and then locks it up so you have to pay to use it.

2. The way they license their services forces you to stay in their ecosystem. For example you are only allowed to use Google Places Search on a Google Maps map.

3. There are APIs Google just doesn't provide for various reasons and because they "own" the data, everyone else has to start from scratch (or use OSM). There's no way to download some subset of the data for a one-time sum or even a subscription license and provide your own service on top of it.

Yes, these things mostly fall into what people consider a company's freedom to do business however they like. But Google is more than just any random company and the data they gatekeep is more than just any random dataset.
One or two devtool features are better in firefox, but when I gave it a good try a year or so back I had the devtools get stuck / crash / fail to find an element that's onscreen moderately often - enough that I'm not keen to use it for work by default.
LOL my asm is rusty, didn't even know about the syscall instruction (I'd have used int 0x80 here)
Yes, I agreed with that. The computers and intellectual property (Twitter) he owns are worthless if he makes it so no one wants to be there. This is why I referred to Digg: the people in charge tanked their near $200m valuation thinking they didn't need to care about the users, and finally had to sell off the brand and domain for $500k.

Elon owns Twitter, the property. He does not own Twitter, the community. No community, no advertisers. No advertisers, no property unless he can do better than Google's pitiful results at finding an alternative to advertising.
So the country needs workers, has an immigration policy that restricts the flow of those required workers and is hostile and unforgiving towards those that do find their way into the country.

Sounds to me like this is not in tension at all with what I said. This country should provide a way for those required workers to immigrate without an "immigration broker" [shudder] to abuse and hold power over them.

The fact that a lot of governments are xenophobic[0] and/or want to erode workers' rights[1] means that many places don't have this - apparently this includes New Zealand. But it doesn't change that this is a way to virtually eliminate that sort of problem. It might seem like a lofty or unattainable goal, but we shouldn't ignore what is right just because it's hard to do.

[0] - or enact such policies to appeal to a xenophobic portion of the electorate

[1] - or were elected with help from wealthy people and corporations who benefit when workers have less rights
I agree with this.
I have started the following a number of times. I would really appreciate if I get gifted something most of people find mundane e.g. socks. Unless I need special socks for something specific I really care very little. So if someone uses his time to save me from doing quality sock shopping I value this a lot and would be happy about the gift. I don't like cheap and wear once socks though.
Yes. And they are a basically a democratic country, usually honor their treaties and are allied with my country. Generally countries who are "friends" with the US fare a lot better than "friends" of Russia or China. I do trust the US way more than China.

Also there is a big difference between recon satellites and hunter-killer satellites.

Russia is threatening to destroy Starlink satellites over support for Ukraine. In my opinion that has voided any treaties or intentions of not weaponizing space in a more direct way. The US (and its allies) now need to figure out how to clean up orbits wrecked by Russia and how to disable Russian satellites without wrecking useful orbits.
One more reason why: there is no job for Juniors, Middle and Senior. Only such as 10+ years of experience with a narow specialization, this is not for Senior, it is for Senior++ ;)

2 decades ago, there were plenty of jobs for newcomers: shareware desktop apps for Windows, growing CAD/EDA/simulation tools, small and middle-sized games, and enterprise apps. Today there is no room for desktop apps for Windows, CAD/EDA/simulation seems stagnant, games require Unreal/Unity/Godot with their own languages, and enterprises used C# and Java.

Embedded C++ positions differ from "General C++ Senior++ Engineer". Yes, they are welcome for novices, but they use their own subset of C++ of an outdated language version, and you cannot grow with them, because the size of a project is small and after 10+ years you cannot be Senior++ with required rare specialization (and of course low salaries).

What else leaves for novices to get more experience? Only writing and supporting your own open-source project with a few users (or no user base at all) during a decade… So, it is not an option for many people.

Hey walter, have you thought about adding first class types to the language? that would enable us to use CTFE for type based algorithms instead of templates like std.meta.

Phase detection autofocus is a fairly common thing these days. It's not really even all that complex hardware-wise. It's mostly partially masking a pair of pixels on the sensor for each focus point.
That's a great medical outcome and I'm glad you were able to have it. I don't mean to detract from that at all. My experience is that, though many mothers have stories like yours, many others have an experience where the doctor forecloses natural birth from an early stage and forces a path of increasing medical intervention. I'll bet that there are quite a few fit 25 year olds with no health conditions on the scheduled c-section plan because of medical advice that didn't put mom or baby first.

The example that sticks in my mind is from one of the Ina May Gaskin books where the doctor tells a woman that she has a "big baby, but only an adequate pelvis." I can't imagine the amount of damage this kind of doctoring is still doing to people, but it's surely significant.

This came up on HN a few days ago. IIRC the warning flag for fraud detection is that the card appears to move from (say) the US to NZ in just a few minutes, which is (obviously!) impossible in the real world.
VMs are substantially heavier than process isolation. Isolated processes can share certain resources, VMs often boot a separate instance of absolutely everything they depend on (down to the kernel or even emulated hardware).

That's why I was really surprised about the content of the article (to be honest I haven't made it past the TL;DR yet), I would have guessed that the problem would be too little egalitarianism.

Kids here are sorted into career paths at age 10 by sending them to Gymnasium, Realschule, or Hauptschule. To even attend higher education you need to have an Abitur, which means going to a Gymnasium or putting in extra years of study after your Realschule.

The argument is that this division allows every kid to learn at a level appropriate to them, but the reality is that an overworked teacher of 20+ kids is supposed to accurately assess everyone's level and then give a recommendation for one of the schools.

My impression is that a lot more weight is put on formal qualifications here than in the US, so in practice this choice sorts you into your future social status for most kids.

My N=1 annecdote is a friend of mine who recently finished his PhD at TUM, the teacher wanted to send him to a Hauptschule. If his parents hadn't intervened his life would probably be very different right now. Annecdotaly I know a couple of engineers who went to Realschule and then had to work hard to get an Abitur before going to Uni. Who knows how many smart people were discouraged from pursuing higher education because it would mean two more years of high school just to even start.

The system seem arbitrary at best to me, and at its worst is just reinforcing class status through generations. Parents with university degrees will fight to have their kids go to Gymnasium, or the teacher might send them because they know they come from an Akademikerfamilie, and the others better hope their teacher likes them.
what's fast really depends on lot on what you are building - without more details about the challenge at hand any statements about performance are unhelpful. A huge backend system? The logic in a toaster? A space ship?

I think their argument was that anybody can just copy the imprint of a legitimate business.

It doesn't stop the fraudulent "potato-shop.de" from trying to look like the real "potatoshop.de".
It’s funny I never knew there was a name for this but it is definitely something I got in the habit of when studying engineering and I use it all the time by creating little spreadsheet models. You don’t have to be that accurate, but you can create models with somewhat reasonable values and then fiddle with the outcomes and it just tells you if something is even remotely possible or not.

Like hey I might be able to increase my revenue by 10% next month but I definitely can’t increase it by 1000%. It’s surprisingly powerful.

In my opinion, the problem in the UK at least is that you realistically cannot be a "flexible" taxi driver.

I looked into it because I enjoy driving.

1) my car is too old, despite me driving it all of the time and it passing safety checks, so I'd need a new car

2) in London I'd need a private hire licence - £500ish up front cost, tons of checks

3) car insurance for private hire is expensive and not available on a pay as you go basis

Basically, you have to either do a proper 30+ hour week, or you'd lose money after all of the expenses.
Personally, even if Chrome goes ahead with removing support I hope JPEG XL will "win" in the long run by being an attractive "universal" format for all other use-cases for image compression. So in other words: that it finds an ecosystem elsewhere, slowly takes over outside of the browsers, and then the browsers will adopt it after all.

For example, I remember reading somewhere that there are people looking at whether or not it makes sense to convert all of the existing JPEGs to JPEG XL on their servers for storage, then reconstruct the JPEG when needed. If so, then there is a niche where it can find adoption even if browsers don't support it yet. It also looks like it might find a use for medical and scientific imaging.

What I personally really would like to know is if it would be possible to losslessly recompress the RAW files from my camera. It looks like it should support everything required, and the claim that it "is the first serious candidate to become a universal image format that “works across the workflow”, in the sense that it is suitable for the lifecycle of a digital image, from capture and authoring to interchange, archival, and delivery" kind of implies that it is, but I haven't seen anyone say it out loud yet.

Because I must say: DNG is really slow and clunky to work with, and I bet has terrible compression on top of that.
You do get them without #include <stdbool.h>, you'll just have to contend with ugly spellings like _Bool and _True.

I don't think the difference is all that clear cut, or at least there is a lot of behaviour that has overlap where it is unclear which side things fall.

Like take a protest (for whatever issue you want). Is that criticism or harrasment? Or both?

The opening scene of My Fair Lady where Henry Higgins the linguist is able to spot which area of London someone comes from by a few words in their accent is a slight exaggeration, but not much. The UK developed hyper-regional accents (unavoidable in the pre-mass-media age), and poshness being a particular set of families who socialise with each other and are educated together converged on its own accent. Especially among people who've been to Oxford or Cambridge. This effect got magnified by the early BBC being based in southern England and comprised of educated people, leading to a distinctive "BBC English".

No, this is not the case. It is actually for non FP solutions that the amortized performance converges to constant time. But for pure FP, there is no solution that performs in constant time, also not when amortized.
I agree with you and thats why I’m very interested in a job opportunity that sells moderation as a service.

As a former die hard member of [R]age Board for the Elites, I remember the use of the N-word being so prolific a moderator changed it to display “ice cream” with no work around. Seeing a post suddenly pop up calling somebody a stupid ice cream was hilarious.

I was a teenager in the wild days and Chan doesn’t disturb me even, I just don’t go there. Borderland Beat is real enough.

As an adult I feel that the ban hammer is an absolute necessity.
> Proponents of censorship have decided it’s easier to conflate censorship and moderation, and then argue for moderation.

You know it’s a weak article from this strawman. The author could have addressed the ‘digital town square’ that was directly listed as the reason for Elon intervening in Twitter but has deliberately chosen not to.
It shouldn't be mandatory. You should just be able to attach all your domains to your entry in the commercial register.

Then browsers could query it and show that's it legitimate.

But it's probably really hard to implement for technical and legal and organisational reasons.
All im saying is that you are probably giving degree too much value

You guys over there seem to be treating degree like the only way to better life
It's suppposed to mean that the server doesn't support any of the formats the client specified in the Accept* headers. At least for the main Accept header, browsers typically include */* and even if they don't the server is better off just pushing whatever so yeah, would be interesting to know why they chose to return that particular error here.
That's how I ascended in NetHack the first time — reading the source code. There were quite a few things there that I don't think I would've ever discovered otherwise.
If Starlink is used by military it becomes legitimate military target including locations it is launched, controlled and manufactured from.
Downside is it's harder to keep all data in memory and Redis has less sophisticated query facilities. Not sure how AGE stacks up in that regard, especially interesting would be joining graph data and non-graph data.

There are serious considerations for including Go code in a rust project, but it's not like there are any showstoppers - one just can't use the default runtime and must rely on Cgo, and the FFI entry points are not performant. Other than that, it's relatively painless. Far less painful than calling into the JVM IMO.
My feet are very large (available only at specialty retailers), so a sock gift risks being useless.
Shell would benefit from Content-Type/Accept headers. Like you can specify that cat accepts text and jq accepts Json. Then `ip a` would output corresponding type automatically.
Huh? China abducts and disappears human rights lawyers, activists, and sellers of banned books, to ensure that ideas are disappeared from the public sphere. You seem to be suggesting that that is one in the same as moderation and there's no distinction to be drawn.

If there's no distinction to be drawn because you're asserting that moderation means that something different in China, I think that is you rather than the author that's using terms in non-standard ways.
You need internet access to either checkout or update the repo; you can use "go mod download" (or just go build, test, etc.) to fetch the modules too. It's an extra step, but so is vendoring stuff all the time.

But like I said, it's not about "is it useful in some scenarios?" but "is it worth the extra effort?" I'm a big fan of having things be self-contained as possible but for this kind of thing modules "just work" without any effort. Very occasionally you might go "gosh, I wish I had vendored things!", but I think that's an acceptable trade-off.
Yeah it means he won the game. Sadly your post is a major spoiler for those new to this wonderful game.
The thing is, we tried this already. Twice.

First with domain names. The domain "nissan.com" is not owned by the well-known car company but by a completely unrelated computer company. As "Nissan Motors v. Nissan Computer" settled, this is totally fine and Nissan Computer still owns the domain.

Besides exact matches there are also similar-looking names. For example, a student named Mike Rowe started a small webdesign company called MikeRoweSoft, which drew the attention of Microsoft, leading to "Microsoft v. MikeRoweSoft" - which was settled out of court and resulted in the domain being transferred to Microsoft.

Second are Extended Validation domains - which used to show the company name in the URL bar. As Ian Carroll demonstrated[0] this isn't really worth a lot, and browsers no longer bother showing it at all[1].

Company names also often overlap when they are active in different areas, such as Apple Corp (record label founded by The Beatles) and Apple Inc. (tech multinational) - which over the years have shifted towards a rather impressive market overlap!
Some companies are split with both sides keeping the original name, such as Motorola Inc.'s split into Motorola Solutions and Motorola Mobility.
Sometimes products are sold under a completely different brand name, such as HMD selling Nokia-branded smartphones, or TP Vision selling Philips-branded televisions while MMD sells Philips-branded gaming monitors!

The thing is, reality is just too complicated for a "very simple" register. How are you supposed to fit in all of the scenarios listed above while still keeping it usable?

Turns out the gym and leather photos are simply not there on Aphyr's twitter anymore—there were a lot of them a while ago, but apparently run-ins with Twitter moderation didn't work out in their favor, and all that's left are infrequent text posts on LGBTQ.

So yeah, quite a blunder.

By the way, it feels like the ‘fault vs responsibility’ theory might help with the moderatorial musings—but I'm having trouble finding a serious source, since Will Smith happened to say something on it. Not even sure if those are the words used for it in academy.
I thought furries were mostly network engineers.

Obviously it's important to emphasise kindness and respect, but with regards to light-hearted jabs, it's important to note the direction you’re punching. If you are mocking someone who’s had a magnitude more opportunity and investment and education more than you, it isn’t hugely a problem for them. If it goes the other way toward someone who’s had to massively struggle to get where they are it undermines them. A punch is a punch, but surely Mike Tyson punching a pensioner is worse than the opposite?

Power dynamics are the same actions having different outcomes.

I’m British and I love a good bit of banter as it shows trust, but taken too far or done with any significant power asymmetry becomes toxic very quickly.

I guess perhaps fitting the working-class box is "cooler" in popular culture, though.

Here's another example: Interactions with the police.

As someone who, whilst though I grew up poor, is white, eloquent and has a Surrey accent, the various times I've been arrested I've been able to deftly fit into the "good citizen who's made a mistake box" and got off with minimal consequences. If I talked like I was from the estate or had a darker complexion, these interactions would sway toward the "bloody criminal" box and I would have had the book thrown at me.
I used to do this but reciprocality meant that everyone started giving me back baked goods in return, usually really sweet stuff that I don't want in my diet.

I enjoy baking sourdough loaves to return favors though e.g. if s neighbour takes care of my lawn while I'm away. That's fun and keeps the books balanced.
