I missed more: There are a lot of tools out there addressing special cases. Those typically address certain C++ sub-eco-systems that follow certain rules that make the mapping in some special cases better.

Most of these are either built on top of cxx or are similar in spirit. So I did not list all of them. The original presentation was only 30 min and there is only so much you can ask a person to read in a blog post:-)

I did try to make it clear that my list is in no way exhaustive.
Eversince that backblaze post I've been monitoring only these five relevant SMART values and replace a disk once I have 2 of these values being in the not-normal range. I haven't had a disk failing on me ever since.

Before that, I had lost all trust in SMART, as it would report drives as "healthy" that could fail next day.
I agree with your general point that the EU does not know how to make life easy for small businesses.

However, your examples are not the best: GDPR and Cookie Law are actually quite good. Regarding the GDPR, I like being able to obtain all the data a business has on me, and to demand that it be deleted. As for the Cookie Law, it’s only a problem for websites using them for tracking people: you are not required to get agreement from the user to use cookies for things like logging in.

Those annoying pop-ups almost everywhere are a disinformation campaign to turn users against that law.

Now, there are other things like the Link Tax you mentioned and the MOSS (VAT on digital services), which means having to charge/pay different VAT rates depending on the user’s country (which you need to justify with 3 different pieces of evidence) that are a big burden on small businesses while not affecting much the big ones to which they were supposedly directed.

MOSS: https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/taxation/vat/vat-digit...

The end effect of those Bizantine regulations is that big companies just use them as loopholes while small businesses get weighted down with them.

Your last line summarizes it well: “The EU is to the German establishment what the USSR was to the Russian establishment.”

I'm inclined to agree. Giving a neutral, business sounding label to something like this, and normalising it doesn't make it right. As an interaction between two individuals, this would be immediately recognised as morally wrong, even if contractually right. Isn't morality supposed to scale?
The really easy observation to make is that crypto.com is operating at a massive deficit.

Their advertising budget is absurdly large, and then they pay some hefty interests to their customers.

Is there any part of the business that actually make money for them? Because it seems like all they do is loan more money to keep the Ponzi scheme going.
I'll wait and see if this comment is moderated or not.
I'm not familiar with that book, but if the RPi is used to send or receive data over gpio, serial, parallel, i2c, ethernet etc. then the functions can be replicated pretty much on every SBC out there.

Many projects/articles/books use the Raspberry Pi just because it's the most popular and the name alone attracts users/readers/buyers, but, as with many other projects, almost all can be adapted with minimal changes to work using other easily available, and often also a lot cheaper, boards.
That's because it has happened several times. Societies collapse regularly.
The problem is that the different crates typically address certain sub-eco-systems and produce better results for that one dialekt spoken there. It is hard to generalize all that.

No, because it has happened to others at companies in the past all the time to people have been complaining for years. By your logic we should only care about practices good or bad that happen at META companies, and the rest fall by the wayside. It's ridiculous that this story makes HN front page, yet the woman who recently won a lawsuit for $366 million due to racial discrimination at FedEx doesn't because "not META."
And this kind of attitude is why Europe’s future prospects don’t look great.

Based on the demographics, most European countries are going to have to start importing young people (immigrants) if they want to keep their social welfare systems up for the next generation. It’s a well known fact that first generation immigrants often have the highest rates of entrepreneurship.

Yet, unlike the US, which was created around the idea of being a nation of immigrants, Europe does a really bad job of integrating people (not unique to Europe, it’s really the default state of humans).

English is the lingua franca of Europe. To make it hard for the people most likely to start a business (immigrants) to do so, is astonishingly short sighted. Where do you think the tax money that pays for the salaries of the 5 million German government workers rubber stamping all these documents comes from?
Assuming that my panels are say 50%/40%/30% as efficient in 20 years time, why not keep them plugged in anyway?

HTML pages can be generated server-side. I happen to have developed a portfolio in PHP in the past. There's some optional JavaScript to make it smoother by avoiding unnecessary a page reload for each picture, but it works without (by reloading the page).

Unfortunately, it requires some extra work but I think it's worth it. The rendering part is not duplicated though, there just needs to be some JS code intercepting links being followed and downloading the updated part from the server.
Germany has had a below replacement fertility rate since about 1970, and still has a fertility rate far below replacement [1]. That it has risen slightly and so slowed the decline, is true, but that started more than 25 years ago, and it's still far below replacement. So this is not about failure to predict birth rates, but failure to act coupled with birth rates not being the only driver for demand for nursery spaces in any country with immigration.

(And like pretty much any developed country, Germany is going to find itself increasingly in need of more immigration to deal with an aging population and low fertility rates)

[...] first investigated by George Stratton in the 1890 s

[...] he ran another experiment where he wore it for eight days in a row. On the fourth day, things seemed to be upright rather than inverted. On the fifth day, he was able to walk around his house fairly normally but he found that if he looked at objects very carefully, they again seemed to be inverted. On the whole, Stratton reported that his environment never really felt normal especially his body parts, although it was difficult to describe exactly how he felt. He also found that after removing the reversing lenses, it took several hours for his vision to return to normal.

The least dark in that picture is the Mitsubishi Hi-Uni 10H. Note 10H (maximum hardness, minimum blackness) rather than 10B (maximum blackness, minimum hardness).

The Mitsubishi Hi-Uni 10B is also in that picture; it's the second one. It does look a lot blacker than the 10H version, although still not quite the darkest in that picture to my eyes. But the conclusion at the bottom seems to be saying that those other writing implements aren't really pencils, which justifies the Hi-Uni 10B being the darkest thing that is actually a pencil.
This is a good analysis. It would be great to see a more in-depth write up of this. I hope you complete that.

My current theory of the moment that I just came up with on this thread so I should probably think it through more but I mean, if we just want to make our goal lots of children again being born, and all we need to do is have some largish, global disaster wipes out a significant portion of the population, but not too much to Dent the exponential dynamics of having billions of people already and then just like after every big die off, there’ll be a baby boom.

(Also, let me just add that children of men is a fantastic film.)

Plus, it would help if cultures become more celebratory and enthusiastic about relationships in general, rather than sort of pessimistic or, risk focused as it seems they are now.

Also, if humans develop some spacefaring technology, we could make a campaign to create babies, encourage people to do so and incentivize them because we need people to go out and colonize our local area in space.
Rust is full of weird quirks that defenders explain by saying that "the compiler isn't smart enough yet." They often seem like consequences of a "compiler-defined" implementation. One random example -- this compiles and runs:

#![allow(unused)]
pub fn main() {
let mut x = vec![1, 2, 3];
let y = &mut x;
let z: &mut _ = y;
println!("{:?}", y)
}

This does not:

#![allow(unused)]
pub fn main() {
let mut x = vec![1, 2, 3];
let y = &mut x;
let z = y;
println!("{:?}", y)
}
Our societies can't even keep up producing child care, schools and jobs for the small amount of children we have. Can't imagine them succeeding in indoctrination.

Having children is awesome but it is also a hard work and quite costly. It would be quite hard to compel modern people have 3+ children.
If that just be true for every tax group we would be in a much fairer world with less issues...
I think I need someone to explain Rust async to me.

I think I understand that await causes the half of function to be rewritten into a state machine that returns immediately to caller and the promise object implements the rest of the control flow.

I don't understand waiters, pollers.
But then again: IIRC, Starlink is much more focused so power per unit square might be equivalent perhaps? It needs to get to space with a good enough SNR.

The phasing of the array might also amplify the harmful effect, I'd say. But I'm very much not an RF engineer.
For another real-world example, see "Details of the Cloudflare outage on July 2, 2019" [1]

Python `re` module now supports possessive quantifiers and atomic grouping (I wrote a blog post here [2]). So, for example, `(a+|\w+)*+:` instead of `(a+|\w+)*:` will avoid such catastrophic behavior.

Your comment is like saying "CEOs saying the current market is bad for their industry, while ...still running companies?!"

It's not like the observation that a trade is being hurt (in this case, in the kind of disconnect between your job being pointing out absurdity as something that stands out and making it funny, and a society that seems to drown and revel in it) cannot be done by practitioners of said trade while they practice it...

The argument is about making abortion illegal, I called it out as a barbaric idea, because it is. You are free to harbor such ideas, you are free to misrepresent the issue by calling a clump of cells an unborn person, and I'm free to call all of this out, especially because it is being forced on millions of women for no reason, ruining many lives.

It's reasonable to be angry under such circumstances. Adults are allowed to be angry too. I wish we would be angry about more things, instead of being complacent all the time.

Obviously not.

If they've just been hired it means that they are the least trained and least operational, and in any case that has no bearing on the continued existence of the role they were hired for.

> Why is it only getting attention now with people who managed to get hired at a FAANG?

It's a good thing when corporations who treat their employees like shit get called out for their behavior. It's bad that they haven't always been called out for it in the past, but that doesn't mean that no one should be doing it now.

I suppose we can ask ourselves why this case managed to get the media's attention...

I suspect that this story may have gotten more people's attention because facebook/meta is a big company with lots of brand recognition, facebook/meta has a ton of money and could easily afford to treat their employees better, and because they really screwed this guy over and his situation is a worse version of what a lot of people are going through after recent layoffs so perhaps business insider thought this story would resonate with a lot of workers.

Really no matter what the reason is for this story getting media attention it's a good thing that people are talking about it now! Hopefully sharing these stories and talking about these issues will bring attention to the problems outside of FAANG as well.

You are confusing a lot of different things.

The pool of available jobs open to people is very high if they are willing to train and do them. Cost of living has been lower on average than in recent memory (only recently has inflation begun to change this). Housing is the big exception but that is one aspect of the overall macro-economic picture.

The Digital Covenant: Non-Centralized Platform Governance on Mastodon
His ideas are very emotionally attractive but I think he falls down in two big areas. 1. The degree to which compliance with intellectual property laws constrains certain societies. Sure, China can't domestically produce bleeding-edge chips without using Western intellectual property, but Zeihan thinks withdrawing permission to use that property will make the Chinese industry flail and die. More likely they'll just steal it. 2. That nations will go back to high seas piracy and active trade disruption the way they did two hundred years ago. He mentions repeatedly the US no longer operates the type of navy required to patrol the ocean ("we don't need ten carriers, we need a thousand destroyers") but at the same time says the only thing stopping half the nations on earth from attacking the trade routes of the other half is the US navy. Personally I doubt anyone will decide it's worth the international scorn to actually do that even if the lack of the US navy makes it physically possible.

Just because a person might do something bad doesn't justify the company doing something bad to an innocent employee.

In my country - if your child can't get into a kindergarten, the government pays you the equivalent of the monthly government fee that they'd pay to the kindergarten to you, so that you can use it towards a private kindergarten/nanny.

If you can privately educate every child one-to-one for the same cost of sending them to a kindergarten then something is seriously wrong with the economics of school funding. Simple economies of scale should mean you're not going to get much more than 1/10th of what it actually costs, right?
