The reason China want Taiwan is because it poses an existential threat to the CCP, same story with Hong Kong, Taiwan has the same cultural roots as mainland China, yet they pursued democracy and free markets, despite not having access to the abundant natural resources of the mainland, its GDP per capita is roughly double that of the mainland, and its citizens enjoy a more free society.

What greater example is there of the abject failure of Chinas communist rule?

Didn't apple ban that game company because of showing an itemised bill to customers, showing how much apple was getting at every purchase?
I am not the OP but I did not just out of convenience. If I really wanted to search for something I was extra paranoid about I probably would be taking more precautions anyway.

AWS regularly gives me a few hundred instances at a moments notice.

Sure, they’re given back just as quickly after the jobs are done, but it’s certainly not impossible.
wild west? as far as CSS is concerned the cascade should be well known and for scoping its (in order of preference):

1. user
2. client
3. document

and within document its in "components", but those are unknown from the start so we defer the details (which must not but can lead to "wild west"). programming is hard, thought. would love to have that holy grail solved, too (apart from the famous three column layout).
The extraordinary claim is the top comment: that trans people are exploding in count vs it being a repressed demographic.

It is the obligation of THAT person to provide evidence, since they are making the claim that it is some "evil toxin in the environment".
No, GP is referencing the Greek financial collapse and accompanying austerity measures. They made no reference to the tax rate being high, and even if it was, tax evasion to get around that is unsupportable.

I also highly doubt it’s an easy hypothesis to test. It’s not like you can set up an experiment. Good luck linking correlation to causation given the highly unique conditions in every country.
The problem with fighting hate speech is that it does not work and the likelihood of severe abuse is high. You could declare anything as hate, especially in modern culture.

Apart from that money in politics is also a problem. A very complicated one that also is not helped at all with additional hate speech legislation. On the contrary.
Interestingly enough as normal as salt containers are in dishwashers as 'uncommon' are house wide water softeners to me.

I know a few people who have a single outlet for osmosis water, I use a optional water filter in the kitchen outlet for drinking water.

But nobody I know is softening their whole water supply. Why soften toilet water? Why soften cleaning water? Garden water?

Well for the last 2 I guess it depends on how hard it really is
Thank you for the links! #6 was thought-provoking
You have no idea how much I'm _yearning_ for a day in court. The problem is it costs millions of dollars to get to that point.
I used to be late a lot.

Then one friend called me on it - "You don't value my time."

So I made it a priority - but the learning curve was steeper than I thought.

It's hard to be on time. You have to figure out how long it really takes to do things - not just fastest I ever did it. You can't be distracted, and you have to do things like say "no" or "i have to go".

Actually having a car nav system helps me be on time (provides arrival time) and I can text ahead my ETA.
> Why would I do that?

Because you're trying to throw away your own trash, in my case. I don't even bother taking it out at night anymore, there are raccoons there half the time. And they do not respond well to me getting anywhere near that trash can.
For what reason do you figure this is the case?

I've been running a similar setup next to my litter box for about 2 years using "Vivosun" products, which seem like a cheaper knockoff version of Terrabloom.

The Terrabloom stuff looks higher quality and I can't compare it directly to Vivosun, but I've got no complaints about my Vivosun duct fan or carbon filters. I'm not necessarily suggesting one brand over the other, but just to add that you can run a knockoff version of this setup for a lower cost.
mobile authentication is actually in violation of a EU directive.

My bank linked that very directive when they retired the physical token in favour of using the phone, saying the bad EU was forcing them to do this money saving step.

I couldn't believe it was true, I read the actual text of the directive and it was in fact not true.
> Interesting perspective, I meant it in the sense that they have operated for decades in competitive industries while making oceans of real profit for shareholders over that period. Most of us would be fortunate to run companies as poorly. :-)

Very true, but Twitter has lightning in a bottle captured the way few other companies do.

Have another. The entire crypto "space" is bullshit. Cut it out.

> To see this kind of dismissive, hostile, and vitriolic behavior towards any technical space

It has repeatedly shown that it is doing no good for anyone. I liken it to homeopathy and MLMs. Such is my contempt and dissatisfaction. Such is the ill that they bring to many to fill the pockets of few. Would you like to see curiousity and celebration of those fields? Open-mindedness is one thing, but don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

PSA: Remember to cut this crypto shit out already!
I've been using Aleppo Soap for about two years now. It's a bar soap that's a mix of simply olive oil, laurel oil and soda. It's actually worked wonders for skin problems on my back as well, so I swear by it now. The smell of laurel oil is a bit weird at first but I've grown to really like it. Alternative would be Castile Soap which is the same but without the laurel oil.
> i have a hard time seeing solid as something more than “react but faster and slightly less annoying”.

Err, I'd have a hard time not to see that as a major benefit first of all?

This whole argument reminds me of the scientists who claimed in the late 1800s that heavier-than-air flight was impossible, never mind the millions of birds and insects who proved every day that it was possible.

Off in the weeds Minority Opinion -- All the other advice here is great. I think there are 2 other things that might not normally be covered, and you should know them.

Know and understand what a Data Diode is, and how to properly use one to enable provably secure egress of data without ingress of control in monitoring situations.

Know what capability based security is. Be able to explain the confused deputy problem. If you understand this, you'll never trust Linux, Windows, MacOS or almost any other OS.

that is all
No, it is not. You have the freedom to rebuttal, but not the one to insist of speakers to be silence or removed. Look up the definition of freedom of speech on wikipedia, it is in the first sentence.

This is not absolutist at all, this is a very basic rule for civilized discourse. You are correct that people occasionally do not adhere to these principles.
Many force you to install their own app instead of using a generic one. Which is a problem.

Also google's app doesn't easily let you export and backup the seeds. So you either remember to do that initially or breaking your phone == losing access to everything.
Right.

Personally I am open to any discussions as it is the only way known so far to explore and understand other people.

Certainly there may and probably will be some pushback and some people may get offended along the way. And that's alright. It shouldn't be the reason for censoring or shunning any topics. Nowadays we have growing share of people in society who are offended with anything and it's a sign of immaturity, not a healthy discussion.

Adults on the contrary, are called adults because among other things they can look at stuff and openly discuss everything, particularly things that may not portray them well.

Shunning discussion because it can hurt someone leads to large misunderstanding on subjects and multiplies weird beliefs that have nothing to do with reality.
I hope this is a Ratatouille reference
Capabilities are a good way to mitigate this problem, yes. At minimum cap_std::fs would prevent "../" attacks.

"../" attacks are also just way less of an issue when you shove your programs into minimal containers, which at this point is more or less standard practice.
As a bonus, I can apply userStyles to fix their UIs such as them not making black #000 (muddy grey looks bad on OLED) or not using my user-agent-defined monospace font or putting too much padding around elements in a chat UI.
Trivial is not the word I would use. My 2 -> 3 migration is a currently ongoing nightmare, even with the compat lib. I was using vue-class-component with typescript, which apparently... just doesn't work at all with Vue 3? And this isn't really documented, so I basically spent today digging around in Vue's guts with the debugger to prove there was no good way to salvage it for my code, I really just needed to rip it out to have a chance of running it at all. Hopefully that was the worst of it, but Vuex is still acting up. Thank god for VCS or this would be terrifying.
Are you suggesting a code formatter as a mechanism for static analysis? There are really good tools like coverity, and free ones like cppcheck and clang-tidy that will catch that and so much more. Using c++ without cppcheck and clang-tidy in your cmake and pipeline is like leaving the seat up. It takes so little time, and the benefits to others is great.

That said, they won't catch a ton of memory and thread safety issues. You'll need tests with 100% coverage for that. Or you could just write it in rust and the compiler will catch it.
AWS always suggests you use a variety of instance types/availability zones to fulfill your capacity needs.

I can imagine they don’t keep a few thousand really expensive instances around (in every region/availability zone).

I guess this is just a difference in opinion then, haha. Not so different from Python vs Ruby.

If we talk about bundle size, then there might be more interesting discussion. Svelte claims to be pretty small - I wonder how that pans out compared to an "equivalent" app in Vue or even vanilla JS.

The article doesn't answer the question: did the tuition and fee costs rise due to administrative (and campus) costs rising, or did the administrative and campus spending rise to use the budget available from increased tuition and fees? I'm betting the latter, brought about by the loan programs instituted during the Clinton administration.

Firing the extra administrators won't reduce the cost to students. If the university is less expensive it will be less elite.
What exactly was the threat for Apple in ~2008 or earlier when they started developing their own CPUs?

Or 5-6 years earlier when they started developing iPhone?

Or in late 2010s when they decided to transition their laptops and desktops to an entirely new CPU architecture?

It'll be the fines. Trust me, econonomic incentives work. No one wants to eat $300-500 fine regularly.
The very first paragraph leads me to believe this is just a rewrite into svelte for the sake of it - I get it, Svelte is the new hotness on the FE-js-block, but this entire post stinks of "someone on the dev team advocated and fluffed enough figures to convince us. So now we're going to tell you why it was the right choice!" I say all this pretty confidently as someone currently maintaining a massive legacy vue2 app which we are currently rewriting into... *checks notes* React. Because we thoroughly vetted and PoC'd how we'd do it in Svelte and in Vue 3. The former is utterly untenable for an actual product-serving business - it is a pre-release, actively-developing product. Vue 3 is great, I highly recommend reacty-folks or frontend devs try it. We wanted the larger ecosystem (and boo to us for not being brave enough to support the growing vuecosystem).

The framework is so new, trying to justify your decision based on State of JS surveys over the last three years is asinine at best - svelte's own UI framework[1] is not even at 1.0 (has only recently been renamed to sveltekit).

Furthermore, there's a literal migration guide[2] to bring your app from vue 2 to 3. It's not easy. It's not painless. But being on vue 2 is equally painful. I'm also not sure what documentation or development this person is referring to because "restricted global access" is just patently false for both vue 2 and 3 - I don't even know what to cite here because it boggles my mind so thoroughly that I can't even conceive where you would come up with that "fact." Is this someone who's never opened their root app file? The place where one can pipe anything from decorators (and yes, enums???) to entire packages globally?

If I had to guess what is in Musk mind, I would bet that he thought he wouldn't go anywhere with an organisation full of employees who actively hate and resist him, so this was a way to shake the tree hard, to have a chance of a fresh start. Doesn't mean a lot of those teams won't be restaffed, just not restaffed with the same political activists.

I just tested that app and it was taking about 1s/it using the "Double quality, double time" version. Spat out quite nice images at 25 iterations. Way better than stuff I had tried before which looked worse after a minute than this generates in 25 seconds.
I wasn't talking about censoring or shunning anything.

I also wasn't telling you, in specific, what to do.

It was a good faith suggestion of best practices based on substantial experience with being very controversial and trying to find a path forward on my interests under circumstances where my willingness to debate, my ability to be thick-skinned and so forth were not getting me the desired results and were coming at an excessive cost.

Yeah, we found an amazing engineer through one of the bootcamp programs. It might have helped that she had a math degree and so she probably started with an analytical approach but either way, she did really well. This was in a rapidly growing enterprise software company with rigorous reviews.

There was definitely some bias against it in a few corners of our group but by and large, most didn't care. Ironically, the guy on the team that didn't like her because she came from a coding bootcamp (he had a CS degree) was by far my worst performer.
You can set it to generate 100 images, hit start, come back later and scroll through the results. Can't do that without spending a bunch of money on the hosted services.

It sounds like he might be talking about this time period. If so, he may be mixing up or mixing together multiple events in retelling what happened. The description of the blog post sounds right, the post went bananas. But I don't remember this rifle video thing, a fast walk back (it took months) though, and we definitely were not the biggest wallet provider.

I'd be curious to talk with him about it, though.

We rewrote our fairly large React app in Svelte and compared to React, Svelte is an absolute dream. Developers are no longer afraid to make changes to the UI. Making changes takes less time and it's easier to get them right first time resulting in fewer bugs.

"Better" is not a universal truth. It is dependent on the context of the individual transaction.

If you simply refuse to acknowledge that crypto might be cheaper and/or faster than available traditional finance options for some particular transactions, not in the theoretical but in the real-word options present, then I simply yield that you must live in an alternate reality than many people. One thing I really hate is losing money and losing time, and the very narrow circumstances where I have used crypto to buy goods (legal goods) I sure as hell wasn't going through the pain in the ass of dealing with crypto for ideological reasons.

Not just the upsells, the software is declining in quality in terms of features as well. Both of these features used to work and now don't.

- They removed iPhone sync from Music (nee iTunes), which makes sense, but the replacement in Finder doesn't support directories in file transfer. It shows them, you cannot expand them, placing files in a directory is possible and results in the files becoming inaccessible. Doubly stupid that the working file sync was in the Music app and not in the file management app.

- AirDrop on macOS just hangs all the time. I am completely unable to send files from my laptop and the interface is just a beach ball.

It really gives me hope that Apple is letting Linux play catch-up; I'd love to see a Linux experience that targeted the low-level usability of macOS 10! I'm talking OS-wide support for bundles, proxy icons, unified notifications interface... The target isn't moving any more, so it's reachable.
Coinbase does not decide, charge, receive, or in any way control gas fees. There's no "sharing". As I understand gas fees, they're charged directly by the decentralized network, to itself (I do know they're not "GAS"). There's literally no entity who receives gas fees and can pay Apple a cut.

> Svelte claims to be pretty small - I wonder how that pans out compared to an "equivalent" app in Vue or even vanilla JS.

I don't have helpful benchmarks here, but can anecdotally confirm that the compiling and bundling magic that svelte does is... magical. They do some really smart tree-related things at build which are (imo) a major feature leading to this quick-and-small packaging of an app.
I think it is reasonable to assume that for the purposes of free speech, we’re talking about people who are of age to engage in the discussion.

That type of logic is unsafe - we don't know that Ponsa is playing AoE with the same intensity as chess.

In fact, the idea that someone can train with sufficient intensity to be a high ranking chess master then break in to the top 50 of AoE at the same time suggests a lower skill saturation in the AoE world.

This is about non-Google OEM OS signing keys.

v1/v2/v3 APK signing has nothing to do with the Play Store requiring Play Signing for newly published apps. App bundles / split APKs also don't inherently have to be used the way they're using them. Entirely possible to use them outside the Play Store with your own signing keys. v3 signing is just v2 with key rotation support. v2 is proper whole file signing instead of v1 which was just the flawed JAR signing system.
