It was a good idea two weeks ago as risk mitigation.
Now the bad thing risk mitigation was meant to mitigate is happening.

It's also a good idea not to build a house on a floodplain, or in an area with high risk of fire. People tend to do so anyway until the area floods or burns.
Not if you got the plastic using fossil fuels and extra energy. Which is the case for most of the non-degradable plastic.
Add to it that we are nowhere close to replace various types of plastics with materials obtained from non-fossil fuels.

Obtained from cellulose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose_acetate does decompose fairly quickly in the soil.
Young + Male is a great way to increase your car insurance [1]. I think it's safe to say car insurance's cost is reflective of risk (cost) with a more serious accident costing more than a less serious.

CDC also states that men get into fatal accidents much more often (2x) than females [2].

The schematic would just be a wire connecting two pins.

RCA Mini DIN
__________________________
COMP o--------o LUM
--------o CHROM
GND o--------o GND

S-Video has two pins (plus ground): luminance and chrominance. Composite has only one pin (plus ground). A composite video signal is a hack (for backwards compatibility with B&W TV) that has both of these signals (and some timing signals, called "sync", which happen outside the visible area of the image) combined together into a single "composite" waveform. De-composing the two signals is what causes color bleed and color artifacts with NTSC color images: it's not easy for a monitor to reverse the math, especially on abrupt brightness edges (like the kind computer pixels are prone to causing, with their decidedly discrete color transitions), since they look an awful lot like the color carrier shifting phase.

S-Video is exactly the same two visible signals as a composite image, but the color data gets its own dedicated pin. So, if you send a black and white composite signal on the luminance pin, and no signal at all on chroma, you get a completely clear B&W picture output, with 0 color bleed (since there is no color information).
The economics term for this is Price Discrimination (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/price_discrimination.as...).

I don't want to go into fair or unfair as the author does (that is a very complex discussion), but it is definitely the most optimal way to price your product. The basic idea is – charge every customer the max they are willing to pay. As long as everyone is above the break-even point, you will maximize your profits.

This is definitely not a new idea ("emerged these past few months" as the author states). I remember people would pack their bags with boxes of Microsoft Windows and Office when coming back from foreign trips. Same goes for subscription pricing. That premium $20/mo Netflix plan costs $4 in Turkey.

It's also a bit weird to see a service advertise their price discrimination. You are essentially saying "your country has a shit economy, so here's a discount" on the checkout page. And then are you also going to show the opposite – "you are in the USA so need to pay 50% more than average for this product"?

After a quick search I haven't found a good example of a blogroll yet. Was this something that was added as a part of the html on a page?

I think an advantage of an endpoint with just the information (regardless of if that's in JSON, newline-separated plain-text, etc) would be that you could query them witout everyone and their mother having to create custom parsers. Think "consuming an API" instead of "surfing the internet in a browser". I believe webrings also fall into the "surfing" part, which is not what I'm going for here.

My point is that there or may or may not be reasonable justification for adding GATs, reasonable people can disagree on that. But async methods are not part of that justification. Similarly, generators may or may not be good for the language (IMO they would be good to add, if they can be made to work etc.) but they didn't need to be part of the language to add await.
It's not similar at all. It used to be C operations mapped 1-1 to the hardware, so undefined behavior meant unspecified but well-behaved in the sense that it would not randomly change unrelated registers. Now it means "nasal demons", i.e. the compiler can just ignore any execution path with undefined behavior and eliminate it as dead code.

Yes, but did they groom a successor? Yeltsin did (Putin). Krushchev - not sure, I think there was a bit of a tussle. Gorbachev was probably too young to be thinking about a successsor - and he was essentially shutting down the Soviet Union.

That article wins the argument for me, and I'm not a fan of C particularly.
Admittedly it doesn't address security concerns, but the fact they're able to achieve 100% machine code level branch coverage (I wonder if that includes the possibility of executing injected code...) should go a long way towards generating confidence that there are no readily exploitable vulnerabilities.

>"How many Republican ads are of them shooting their political party's opponent?"

Zero?

Edit: So I did some further digging and I assume the GP is talking about something like this: https://twitter.com/jim_lamon/status/1491836062934704141

It's a superbowl ad with a wild west showdown theme. Actors portraying Joe Biden, Sen. Mark Kelly, and Speaker Pelosi are having a high-noon style duel with the Republican candidate. The Republican manages to shoot the guns out of their hands and they flee defeated.

I think this is tacky more than anything else. I do not think there is some sinister subliminal message at play here. Nor do I consider this "shooting their political party's opponent", because those words conjure an image of an actual assassination and this looks like something fanciful.

> C compiler based tool that outputs DWARF or DWARF-like debug output that actually lays out everything

That sounds like C2FFI: https://github.com/rpav/c2ffi

The only language ecosystem where I've seen it used is Common Lisp, in the CL-Autowrap library (https://github.com/rpav/cl-autowrap).

But C2FFI emits plain JSON, so I don't see any reason why you couldn't build e.g. a Python auto-binding library on top of it. It depends on LLVM to generate the spec file, but end users don't need to have that.
> If the idea of federated Twitter was so good and so important why did everyone seemingly only get interested in it right now?

It involves work. Before Musk's takeover Twitter was reliable, predictable and somewhat boring. Now it is none of those things, for better or worse. I think people see federation as a means to avoid a similar outcome in the future.

> Now that Elon owns it, well, now it sucks and is bad.

I mean... yes? No need to examine this through an ideological lens: the simple fact is that the future of Twitter is now very uncertain. Ad revenue is tanking, half the staff has been laid off, features are being modified on the fly. It simply isn't a service you can rely on right now.
You see it meme'd relentlessly about the concept of having "fuck you money" and the crazy things one could do.

Well, it finally happened in a undisputable, greatest possible example kinda way, and now everyone is scrambling to adjust.
We've always had this situation, but when C was the only real systems programming language around we didn't notice it so much. FFIs were always painful, like JNI, and we accepted it.

This situation is much more noticeable now that we have Rust, Go, etc. all trying to be completely detached from the C run-time. And it's not just those. Even languages like Java and Python that do use the C run-time, they all want to have nice and easy FFIs nowadays, but it's still hard to do it safely and elegantly.

My dude, I used to work for Environment Canada. Climate change is real and people are causing it. I have quite literally worked with the raw data coming in from multiple sources.

Nothing in particular: I believe HiFiBerryOS does some stuff under the hood to minimize unnecessary writes, but I didn't look too closely into it. The also provide shutdown and reboot buttons via their Web UI, which I greatly appreciate (and presumably help avoid any corruption that can happen when just yanking the power).

For the other Pis I use, I see corrupted SDs roughly once every 18 months. I replaced a couple of repeat offenders with new cards (from a different vendor) a while back and things seem to have stabilized, so my (lay) guess is that some cards are just more finnicky on the Pi than others.
Good point.

For example, :has() has nearly 83% global support already [1]. Once Firefox enables it by default (it’s behind a flag currently) and more upgrade to the latest versions of macOS and iOS, we’ll soon exceed 90%.

I disagree, I think we should demand that `username@domain.com` (coupled with a digital signature) be the one true way (TM) that services treat identity. Whether domain.com supports an email service, an HTTP service, or a social service is secondary. Standardized representation of the principal is the primary concern.

Twitter and Facebook represent the principal using their own alternative formats to assert ownership over the domain, not because they're good formats (@foo, fb.com/you). They've normalized the idea that the textual representation of the principal should be different between different services, but there's no fundamental reason it should be so.
I'm assuming you pulled that from Wikipedia, which is what Google points to for that phrase. You've radically oversimplified Wikipedia's coverage of UK entrapment, and Wikipedia oversimplifies UK law. "More than an unexceptional opportunity to commit a crime" is just one factor in a complex analysis. The "exceptional" opportunity starts the consideration of entrapment; it doesn't end it.
> It's all very academic and I don't have a strong opinion on it either way but I would say C has a relatively simple syntax (no classes, no inheritance, few keywords, few symbols in its syntax etc.) but its semantics (i.e. how to use the simple syntax to produce correct software) are fairly complex.

I agree that C's syntax is visually simple, but it's actually pretty complex from a parsing perspective: it's both context sensitive and binding sensitive, meaning that a correct C parser needs to be aware of the current parsing context's "live" bindings (including other functions) in order to resolve ambiguities like this:

int foo(int(bar));

(`foo` could either be a function or a local `int` variable.)

I can understand that ultimate mindset! Rust is certainly a much more complex language from a syntax and semantics perspective, and (I think) the community wouldn't want to claim the "C successor" label anyways.

Life insurance does typically pay out in case of suicide after a 1-2 year cliff. It's a health issue like any other.

I don't really see an advantage to this over just installing fixed warm color temperature lights in the house. Depends on the building I suppose, but a well designed house should have enough natural light to only use the lights at the time when you would want 'warm.' If you live in at high latitude and need a 'SAD' light for morning and daytime use, that will always be a different light fixture and system, and therefore doesn't require this type of setup either.

Ultimately, regular indoor lights just aren't bright enough to engage the biological response of daylight, regardless of color temperature.
> For the presidential election, the electoral college makes it possible for a candidate to win the presidency with a mere 23% of the popular vote.

_Possible_ does a lot of work for you here. You have to assume all the losing states vote at 0% toward the winning party and all winning states vote at 50%+1 for that to happen. Something that is absurdly unrealistic given that California only voted 65% Biden and 35% Trump in the last election.

The EC doesn't favor one party over the other except for the fact that Democrats refuse to move their national politics to the center to win the EC and use words like "populist" to describe the candidates that do.

Realistically, the popular vote "problem" you bring up isn't the issue with the EC. The issue is that it allows candidates to ignore the vast majority of the country, causing all candidates to cater to the same minority of the population. There's nothing wrong with the EC except that the states are mostly "winner-take-all", essentially gerrymandering the presidential elections.

There are a lot of things I'd like to see done to increase the veracity of our elections (ranked choice voting, open primaries, etc.) but, I think, if we could solve or make progress in the reduction of gerrymandering it would make a sizeable difference in the quality of politics in the country. And, notably, gerrymandering is very much a "both sides" issue, ask Californian politicians if they would favor splitting California EC votes proportionally by vote. That would make California more represented in Presidential elections and would also force candidates to try and win votes in California, moderating national politics. The only downside would be to the Democratic party itself.
That's right, and self-hosting on a trusted domain is indeed the recommended form of indicating that an identity is trustable in the Mastodon docs.

Note, however, that Mastodon has a sort-of identity-ish verification system, in that a website link in your profile will be shown with a green check if the website links back to your profile with a `rel=me` attribute.

This is a bankruptcy proceeding regarding the liability of Weinstein's company. What's that got to do with Harvey Weinstein's, the living person's, liability, other than the fact that you can convince a judge to waive it? Much less the people who served as the company's BoD?

Historically, yes. But in the future? Who knows!

"Crashes involving male drivers often are more severe than those involving female drivers."

"The number of driver fatal crash involvements per 100 million miles driven in 2016-17 was 63 percent higher for males (2.1 per 100 million miles traveled) than for females (1.3 per 100 million miles traveled). Rates were substantially higher for males than for females ages 16-29, but were only slightly higher for ages 30 and older. The sex difference was largest among drivers ages 20-29."

CIA person "urging" a president of a soverign country to stop doubting voting machines? Calling his doubts "baseless"? I mean, the USA has paper ballots to this day because of the exact same "baseless" doubts. It's essentially world wide consensus that voting machines are a bad idea, some countries straight up declared them unconstitutional. But these USA officials pressured our president not to question the system of his own country. A CIA guy at that, from a country known for compromising the world's security and spying on everyone.

I'm sorry but there's so much wrong with that it's not even funny. If that's not interference I don't know what is. The more I research these elections the uglier it gets.

Right now it doesn't seem like this election legitimitized either government. The unprecedented censorship is not inspiring confidence. I wonder what will happen now...
The goal is to poison the well. If you convince people that Russia has no specific goal except spreading evil and discord, you can 1) ascribe any act to Russia without having to come up with any reason why they would do it, and 2) not-so-subtly turn him to Satan in the Protestant mind, the only being whose only object is chaos.

Putin does the same thing in Russia (as US intelligence agencies do in the US.) With one of his major power centers being the Russian Orthodox Church, he can frame every external attack as an attack on religion, and a sign of the end-times - one of the reasons for the extremely homophobic policy and culture he's helped grow. The West is trying to turn us gay to destroy our religion.

> How do you connect to millions of people without using Facebook or Twitter?

Oh interesting! Let me check out their instance that they linked to: "Find us at https://toot.thoughtworks.com"

> This is a Mastodon instance solely for employees of Thoughtworks.

Whoops!

In general, I don't see how this helps a company at all to reach the millions of users that they could through Facebook or Twitter. On those platforms, it's automatic and immediate. On Mastodon, it seems like you have to actively court users one at a time? Because ThoughtWorks wasn't even able to reach me, and I read their entire article. I went directly to their instance and learned nothing.

EDIT:

Aha! It turns out that the landing page is a red herring, and you can still click through to the "See What's Happening" page. I don't see how a non-technical user would figure this out and not get immediately discouraged. Linking to the /public page would have made a lot more sense.
Hmm, I know that C is not parseable, but couldn't one define a parseable subset that is still meaningful? That would then pass the burden to the developers that want to bind to a specific library and hopefully these developers have a clue on how that library builds, works, and what functions are needed. In the long run, if a popular language (say rust) strictly insists on that subset being used, I could imagine that upstream libraries would start shipping such headers, say openssl would not come with a rust interface but a "machine-readable" C interface.
