"Supply" means the periodic bill to pay the governments debts. i.e. public servant salaries and defence force etc.

If you cannot pay those then the government is effectively not a government.

Someone is trying too hard to make something very normal seem niche.

They’ve probably gone to a school whose curriculum includes the terms “critical” and “theory” and “colonialism” more often than not.
They are still used to separate that expression, to make the expression stand out from the rest of the text. Surely, if I set a quote in italics, I mean this to be read in a distinctive voice by an aural presentation. (This is the entire point of separating it by a distinctive type style. I'm actually somewhat alarmed that this isn't the case.)

Edit: There's a clear meaning to the use of distinctive type styles. I don't see an intrinsic value in pretending and that there is no such intended meaning and that there should be an artificial separation, rather than generalizing on presentation styles.

Edit #2: In Antiqua, italics isn't just oblique text, it's an entirely different script. So what is the use case and the intended meaning of using a different script? Isn't this more conceptual than just using a fancy visual presentation style, which may be happily ignored in any other representation as there's probably no intended meaning to this?

I'm not sure on the technical ruling details, but it looks like something like that:
They did not care about the data, officially. As they have already recording, sms, ...
They just wanted to access the home of his phone that his restricted by the passcode.
And he explicitly refused.
Nothing say that once they would accessed, they would have been allowed to access private data or being able to use any of that in the trial.
It is like a 2 steps process. First they should be granted access, then there is the question of incriminating data that could encrypted or not.

It looks dubious, but it is how it is presented to be able to get such a ruling.

As an equivalent, imagine that cops ask you to unlock the steal bar reinforced door of your entrance because they have a warrant and you refuse. And you claim that their might be naked pictures of you inside of your home this is why you refuse.

I don't see why those are mutually exclusive. Replacing ICE cars with electric and using other forms of transportation when it is appropriate both are important.

It's literally (figuratively) meant figuratively for literally (literally) hundreds of years, depending on context. I was always a language stickler growing up but am becoming more measured in most areas of life as I age and discover the subtle nuances of literally (figuratively) everything, and as long as I'm understanding someone figuratively (figuratively), I won't question their language.
The excuse that "safety" could mean a lot of things, and these languages don't solve all of those things, so therefore they shouldn't count and we should stop saying C and C++ are unsafe is really tired at this point.

The current set of papers for WG21 the "C++ Standards Committee" includes more than one taking this stance, but obviously the standout is P2687 from Bjarne Stroustrup and Gabriel Dos Reis. Bjarne and Gaby describe the situation (in which the US Federal Government has noticed that there's a problem) as an "Emergency"

https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p26...

P2687R0 is an initial draft (even by R0 standards it looks very hastily thrown together) but it wrings its hands about the propensity of programmers to write bad code, and then it offers a list of eight kinds of (un)safety, including "delivering a result in 1.2ms to a device supposedly responding to an external event in 1ms". Alas, although C++ doesn't really help you with any of this list, other languages don't solve all of them and so why bother right?

It also takes pains to group together intractable problems (e.g. dynamic allocation but with assurance of no leaks) with solved problems (e.g. preventing use-after-free). The R0 draft doesn't really spend much time explaining how, if at all, they would solve the problem (beyond vaguely "static analysis" so it can't be critiqued on that basis.

I'm sure the committee (of which both Bjarne and Gaby are members) will look favourably on this sort of work, but nobody in government should take anything like this seriously until the actual problem gets solved, ie the programs stop being full of memory bugs.
This is true, but the problem is how it scales.

You set up a .NET/JVM project and it takes off, and you find out you're facing massive memory bloat of the managed heap. What do you do? The answer is basically: try using this slightly different allocation pattern by flipping a switch in the runtime, OR try to do a bunch of manual memory management anyway. You quickly discover the allocation patterns don't help much, so you turn to manual management.

Often enough, its simple to understand where the memory allocation comes from, and you could probably fix it with an arena allocator or something simple. So you try that, but then you find out that many library functions in .NET/JVM that you need, don't allow you to pass in preallocated buffers, leaving your ability to solve the memory problem crippled. You now where the memory is needed, when it expires, and when it can be reused, but you don't have the tools to apply this information anywhere.

At that point, you can either leave it be and buy more RAM, or rewrite from scratch in another language. Would be cool to have languages that are more of a hybrid, kind of like .NET unsafe, but then in a non-optional way.
Well yes, but if your database is busy writing, it's going to have less time for reading.
This is great. I'm an Elixir engineer myself, and would love to contribute to something I can self-host.

Are you open to external contributions? If so, what's a good/useful place to start?

EDIT: if I would self-host this, I would want to run it in a Docker container. Is that something where I could help?
When using UEFI secure boot you typically boot into the shim (signed with a certificate OOB-trusted on almost all PCs), which verifies the integrity of grub and then passes on control to that.

Without secure boot, I don’t think there is any need for the shim, but if it’s still used or not in those cases, I do not know.

Maybe someone here knows, but I'm always skeptical of any such news where there's not a single numerical figure in the story about the cost or operating difference. What is even the order of magnitude of fuel or operating cost improvement envisioned from these new designs? 10%? 30%

Similarly when any story is written about biofuels for example ("airline <x> demonstrates passenger flight using biofuels"), but the article doesn't quote a single dollar figure on the cost per gallon, you know it's just another story that comes and goes every year, but no significant new progress has been made towards actual sustainable/scaled possibilities.
The expense is at least prima facie legitimate. On paper you’re just paying a fee to a contractor in exchange for a NDA protecting the company from liability. If you cover things up well enough, it won’t raise suspicions and nobody is going to go out of their way to investigate their boss.

At a certain point this sort of thing does become unsustainable, but most execs stop short of that point. Also, this sort of thing becomes illegal at some point as well; you can learn about cases where people didn’t get away with it, and then maybe extrapolate from there to see how other people might get away with it.

Not sure I agree. The problem with overfitting is fitting too closely to the data points at hand, but you might still be measuring the right thing, as discussed in other posts here.

The problem with Goodhart's law is, as I've always taken it, closer to the Lucas critique in economics than to the bias-variance trade-off in machine learning. Namely, when it comes to human behavior, structural relations that are very real and present in the training data may break down once you put pressure on them for control purposes.

When you use machine learning to, say, detect skin cancer, you might accidentally learn the markers put into the images to highlight the cancerous region rather than the skin properties - that's overfitting. But the skin cells themselves don't care - they won't alter their behavior whether you detect them correctly (and remove them) or not. If you use a model to find a relation between some input and a human behavior output, humans might very much start to change their behavioral responses once you start to make changes. The entire relation breaks down, even if you've measured it correctly beforehand, because people, unlike particles, have their own interests.

But calling it the "Queen's Coup" is overegging the pudding.

It was very much John Kerr's Coup.

Yes, I find the detailed history fascinating, but I am a bit unconvinced by the spin put on it. Clearly, the claim that the palace had no idea it was coming is false, but I don't read the supposedly damning quotes from the letters as the Queen (or anyone else in the palace) giving partisan advise about what action to take. I read it as advising him of what powers he held and that he was free to use them should he decide it was necessary.

Frankly, I feel like this is exactly the sort of role that a Governor General should take: acting as a neutral referee when the children stop playing nicely. The Governor General's powers are quite limited, but they are very real. The fact that the Prime Minister can replace the Governor General more or less at will acts as a strong democratic check on this power. (This is more problematic in the UK where the King cannot be replaced.) Personally, I think the "theoretical monarchy" and the role of the Governor General is a very nice feature in Canada and Australia (and presumably other commonwealth realms).
Hello all,

As someone mentioned, our free plan doesn't support IMAP, POP and ActiveSync. But this was implemented only for newer accounts and the existing accounts which had the support earlier, continue to enjoy the features without any additional costs. So if your account was created earlier, you would have IMAP/ POP support without any issues.

Since there are people here that seem to know a bit about this stuff, I will take the chance to ask some naive questions ;)

Do I have this right that CAR T-cells have this engineered B-cell/antibody like receptor that recognizes antigens only on the cell membrane. While the regular T-cell receptor can look into cells as well? And that's why the T-cell receptor is potentially better at recognizing solid cancers?

So cancers usually create this immunosuppresive environment, wouldn't this stop this engineered T-cells as well?

The "email" version - your work email is for work and personal for personal. The @x part certainly confers an authority and verification of sorts.

But when it comes to social networks, part of the idea at least seems to be broadcasting and merging of identities. Back in the day / still barely in existence - keybase cross verified your identity on multiple platforms, and I suspect that in a federated world this function becomes more important and probably needs to exist even more than before.

> those who want to see this industry succeed

As a very early and ardent believer in cryptocurrency, and cryptography in general, I'm not sure that I do want this "industry" to succeed. I see it as an imperfect but necessary mechanism to survive inevitable disaster. The "industry" must eventually die, either from obsolescence to the ideas that started it, or the failure of those ideas. I've accepted that it may be necessary, but also an existential risk, as the "industry" will always avoid self-obsolescence, and push toward the latter. This is already obvious from the cryptography perspective. The "industry" will never allow their products to adapt beyond their control.
That ... is a demonstration of making the product fit into the law.

Guessing here, but probably from William Gibson Neuromancer, where the term originates. You have the 1982 movie Bladerunner. And there is also the 80s blockbuster War Games, that deals with hacking.

These all had a big influence in the time of BBSes and microcomputers and the rise of the PC. In BBSes you had lots of discussions and books and software.
Dynamic memory allocation is a runtime operation and can always fail, so this cannot in general be a compile-time operation if you also want to allow dynamic memory allocation.
Indeed, like Roleplaying GM, this is not about winning. It's much like designing Portal levels. Your goal is that the players should feel smart for figuring out the answer, not that they should feel dumb because they couldn't solve it, nor that it was childishly simple so that they would inevitably stumble on the answer. It's tricky to do well.

Most first time masters choose rules that are too hard. "There are more red than blue pieces but the pieces are valued by size with 1 for smallest and 3 for largest" is too hard for non-expert players to ever figure it out. It feels easier to guess a rule you know than it really will be.
