> Did you know more people are arrested yearly in UK for posting online on social media than in Iran?

This isn't exactly true.

The Mal Comms laws are a fucking travesty, but the reporting on them has tended to be wildly inaccurate.

Most incidents of "suspected mal comms" are resolved with what's called "words of advice", followed by no further action.

Words of Advice happens like so: you call Karen a slag on Facebook, Karen reports you to the cops, the cops are obliged to "do something", so a neighborhood officer swings by and let's you know its been reported, don't do it again, no further action is taken.

More serious cases tend to involve an invitation for a voluntary interview, usually resulting in no further action or (rarely) a caution or (even rarer still) the CPS deciding to prosecute.

Voluntary interview is a bit of a misnomer - if you refuse to come in for said interview, there is two possible outcomes. Either it gets no further actioned and binned off, or they now have the option to arrest you for the purposes of an interview.

Most of the time when someone is actually arrested for "malicious communication" its something high profile and/or they already refused that so called "voluntary interview" and/or they have been repeatedly given said words of advice.

Personally I think the UK is a fucking hellscape and a police state, but I find the online commentary about the Malicious Communication laws - especially on primarily American forums - wildly inaccurate.
Abandonware? Arguably Gorilla's packages are mostly complete. While new features could be added, nothing is stopping developers from building on top of it. Gorilla provides a great start to many projects, and archiving it won't stop it from continuing to do so. With Go's compatibility guarantee, Gorilla is going to continue to work far into the future.
The only mystifying thing to me about Emacs' LSP support has been the fact that they chose to bring Eglot into Emacs core, instead of the (in my opinion) superior LSP-mode.
I'm the author/maintainer of an open-source project that receives a relatively large number of pull-requests.

FWIW, if you're contributing to a sufficiently large project, it's entirely possible that the maintainers don't even read your name or look at your avatar when they review your PRs. (Unless, of course, you're _heavily_ involved in the project.)

I personally seldom do. There simply isn't enough time to "get to know" contributors. PRs are business and transactional, and nothing else. Building FOSS is a team effort, but it's not a "social" activity. You can't "hang out" on Github.

(I don't say this to be disparaging or discouraging, of course!)

IMO, if you want to engage professionally with others in a more personal way, ~~Twitter~~ Mastodon, Twitch, and other similar platforms are the way to go.

When I'm reviewing your PR, I only care about the diff. When I'm talking to you on Mastodon/Twitch/HN/etc, I care about your thoughts and opinions. It's just a different, less task-focused way to interact with someone.

I wish you the best with your project!
> Web demo for anyone interested takes about 2 minutes to run: https://huggingface.co/spaces/osanseviero/point-e

It’s a fun demo. Worth to note that on mobile it didn’t include any button to download the generated point cloud data itself, at least not that I could find. Might be the same on desktop also.

Additionally I think the amount of time taken depends on the amount of visitors. I had to wait about 7 minutes for it to finish.
Same - this particular Z shape. Really triggered me when noticed it today. Installed a Favicon Changer plugin for Chrome to address this.
It's the exact opposite of selfish; I am pointing out that yes, people are individuals, but people are also inextricably communal as well. Choosing to end your life, like any other choice we made, is not solely about _you_ because it does not solely affect _you_.

Her family's guess is that she'll be killed in some violent altercation while "on the run". Probably one for which she bears most of the "responsibility". And they pray that she won't get any innocents maimed or killed before that happens.

(Star Trek: My guess is that such an episode, if it had any serious depth, would be vetoed in the script stage - due to being an extremely painful subject for too many viewers.)
Human security guards forget. Servers don't.

i don't quite agree. the law provides that being part of a protected group can not be used as a reason. that's enough. there is no need to prove a thought-crime. there is only need to prove that there is no justifiable reason for the action that lead to the discrimination, eg no justifiable reason to fire someone or to deny service. finding the real reason for the discrimination is not necessary

I worked at a fusion company and would have loved to be involved in the control room design. People generally aren't interested in designing rooms like this. People are happy with just big monitors at desks likely displaying hard to interact with interfaces that are ever changing. One engineer even wanted to install physical barriers to keep people away from stations.
It's part of the terms of a SPAC that they have to find a deal within (usually) a year or return the money. There are hardly any new SPACs being started up, but the ones left over from the boom still have to make the best of what they've got.

How do you figure?

Raindrop.io is aggressively priced for all that it provides (I have switched from pinboard to this, and it is a near 1:1 replacement). In fact, it provides features such as highlighting / annotation that Pinboard.in will never implement.

Wallabag, Linkding, and Archivebox are three selfhosted options that come to mind, that serve similar purposes.

While I agree with the rest of your comment, I want to gently challenge this specific statement, as someone who has to take a powerful med (lithium) to avoid relapsing into mania with psychosis.

I was so extremely reluctant to regularly take meds, and lapsed in and out of mania for a few years. The main thing that got me to stick with lithium, and a major driver in me staying on them today, is grokking how deeply destructive mania is to all the relationships and other good things in my life.

I'm not saying we should shame mentally ill people, but part of treatment should be helping them understand & agree that permanent treatment is in their own best interest. Easier said than done, of course... it took years for me.

You are absolutely right.

I was one of the teenagers who read everything that was in front of me and I think when I read the Count of Monte Cristo at ~12, I already had an understanding of at least a general outline of the Napoleonic wars and some inkling of the geography.

My brother hardly read anything as a kid and laughed at my nose being the book a lot. I remember him calling me when he was in his early 30ies and saying - hey, I am reading this Monte Cristo book and it is REALLY GOOD. I was like YEAH IT IS REALLY GOOD, I told you so! But he couldn't have appreciated it before he was ready...
Way harder to read than Perl..

You can create obscure Perl as you can create obfuscated C as in any language, but if you think about the reader you can create 'easy to read' program in Perl, even by a beginner.

But creating 'not obfuscated' APL? That's really hard!

Twitter Aided The Pentagon in Its Covert Online Propaganda Campaign
The main reason to attempt to stop aging is to prevent other illnesses from taking effect.

People who are physically young are at a much lower risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, Type II diabetes/Alzheimer's, etc. Stopping/reversing the aging process kind of fixes the root cause of a lot of those diseases.

We're probably not far off from that reality, either. Then we move onto more controversial questions, e.g. Do physically healthy people have the right to end their own lives? Not everyone want to live to be 300 years old, especially those who have lost most of their family and friends over those years.
To get lucky treating someone's mental illness if they allow you to treat them you mean?
This is why we can't have nice things in this country. It's always comes down to some rhetorical discussion about edge cases and possibilities of how a tiny fraction of people might be negatively impacted, so let's not do it.

Let's frame it this way, "Is it humane to allow people be a slave to their mental illness and living on the streets?" The answer is clearly, "no". Allowing the mentally ill to live on the streets betters no ones life and causes many issues for everyone. If people with a mental health issue can not or will not take care of themselves, then someone else has to do it (IE: The Government).

It is humane for everyone if the mentally ill are forced to get treatment or confined if they refuse it.
It's not an existential question for the companies, but it could be for the people making the decisions. If shareholders aren't happy with the company's performance, the CEO might find themselves getting replaced.

I don't know how greedy they are. The traditional ones are just inefficient. If a manager makes 1 million in profit for the company, they are lauded, even if they could have made 10x that with little to no effort. F.e. if they make a device for one customer, they remake it for the next one. Things are reimplented endlessly. I'm talking about basic features, that must be present in every project, but the customer doesn't really care how they are implemented.
The general public isn't part of the Blessed Set of Protected Minorities so we don't count. What counts is the disadvantaged, and the more disadvantaged they are the more we're required to turn a blind eye to disruptive behavior. Homeless people, being at the bottom of the stack, are allowed to do basically anything and criticism of this fact will get you fired and cancelled.

Ironically, this seems like true freedom to me - do whatever you want to whoever, with no fear of consequences. Just have to deal with the lack of dignity and resources.
I was my ex's caregiver for decades. Today she lives in a local homeless community and her wellbeing is often at risk.

Could she have had a different outcome through forced treatment? Yes and no.

The technical answer is No because the treatment she needs doesn't exist here (extended-term, inpatient, safe). There's nothing to commit her to.

If the treatment she needs existed, could I have committed her against her will? Probably not. It would require LEO assistance and (due to reality) husbands are generally considered to pose a heightened risk of gaslighting.

In that quote, “hospitalise” might mean to drop them off in an understaffed hospital emergency room so that they can be temporarily sedated or whatever and then released within whatever timeframe protects the various entities from liability.

I doubt “hospitalise” means to house them in a properly staffed psychiatric care facility under the care of qualified professionals.
Given that a small number of companies are concentrating ownership of businesses, there really should be legislation that restricts their ability to 'ban' people.

Australia has 2 main supermarket chains, and they also own numerous other stores/brands. If one decided to ban you from every store it makes it very hard to shop for food.
Language for these discussions is important. We should always put “should I be allowed” rather than “am I allowed”.

I generally feel there is an inalienable right to suicide. Similar to other rights in the Declaration of Independence, this is a right that people will exercise regardless of whether it is outlawed or not and no one can stop those who wish to exercise it. It’s functionally impossible to prevent someone from committing suicide — there are countless cases where people in mental wards have a watcher-person with them 24 hours a day, less than 3 feet away at all times. And the patient will do something like suddenly sprint full speed into a wall headfirst and kill themselves.

But I also believe that the person committing suicide has the duty to cause the least amount of property damage and additional overhead for others in the wake of their death. Similarly, those who survive them have the duty to process the persons death to the best of their ability.

I would say that the gruesome suicides you asked about should be legal to stop, given a situation where the interruptor has a reasonable belief that:

1) there are more humane ways to commit the suicide which do less collateral damage, and
2) that the person committing suicide is not in such extreme pain that these options will take too long and cause the intervention to be a particularly cruel intermission.

For example, if someone has been suffering greatly from a very bad exposure to the gympie-gympie tree and they truly need the most expedient death to relieve the pain…perhaps the train really is their best option. And it’s up to the rest of society to understand and be thankful that this person found relief from their unimaginable pain and that it is now our duty to clean up and process the aftermath.
> I imagine most of the Java horror stories people recall come from the days where there were no good Java libraries and everyone was reinventing the wheel.

My memory of java is from about 2007 and I had a pretty negative memory of it. I recently joined a company that primarily does java development and it's amazing what 15 years of progress can do. It's night and day. Using IntelliJ instead of eclipse alone is a big jump.

The thing is, as a C#/.NET dev, those tools weren't that great 15 years ago, either. But I'd been keeping up with the progress in that ecosystem, using it day to day, so it's easy to forget.
From the link:

> During a 2020–2021 boom period for SPACs, they attracted prominent names such as Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, and Deutsche Bank, in addition to retired or semiretired senior executives.

Now, why retired or semi-retired senior exec who are most probably already swimming in money and have a certain age are even thinking about these investments instead of just spend the fortune they have and enjoy life?
I guess I'll never be such an exec...

The medications do that too. The side-effects are horrific.
You're looking at the sky and you see a bright and otherwise unexpected signal. Then you see it again, some time later. You write that time down as T_1. You don't know of any astronomical phenomena with period T_1, so you wonder whether this could be a weird rare event. Then you see it again, spaced by T_2 this time, and you start to wonder whether it could be a purposeful signal. Then T_3 etc. How could they be linked? They're getting farther and father apart, so maybe it is a sequence with some significance. Maybe it's the fibonacci sequence for example. So you try dividing all the intervals by T_1. And you get 1,1.503,2.496,3.500,5.506... huh, lots of nearly-half-integers in there, maybe T_1 was supposed to be 2 units actually?
Most of your complaints are resolved by Kotlin, which can be mixed and matched with a Java codebase on a file level.

> As a 43yo developer, my advice is to push back on this. Make it clear from the first moment that it's their problem, not yours.

Yeah you can both be positive about the fact that you will get to work on the project and deliver it. You can also make sure that they understand that the dates will almost certainly slip up front. And try to dodge anything that sounds like a promise for a deadline.

The reality is that they probably don't care anywhere near as much as the tone of this article is making it sound. If they can get the deal signed and get something delivered in twice the time as was agreed to, and which isn't fully baked and may be more of a beta release, they'll be happy.

And if they're not well then they've set you up for failure, and the worst thing they can do is fire you. As long as you understand that is their issue, that should relieve you of your burdens. Usually though if you come off as a "straight shooter" who is self confident then they'll remember the delivery and not the slipped schedule and bugs.

What you don't want to be doing is projecting as much anxiety over deadlines and estimates as the article here does. Even if it sounds ominous that there are contractual deadlines, in reality usually neither side of the deal wants to blow up the contract if the schedule slips by 3 months (or whatever) as long it eventually gets delivered.
Just as a data point. This feature of one-note (text boxes where you click) is the single reason I’m looking for something else. I absolutely hate any interface that has me fiddle with layout when I’m trying to focus on semantics.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but this seems to get the Fermi Paradox backwards. It explains why we haven't been visited by aliens (the light-cone of our radio transmissions is small and therefore aliens outside of it couldn't send probes to us), but the key observation of the Fermi Paradox is in the other direction; why can't _we_ see _other_ civilizations, in all of the billions of years of history in our light-cone?

If extra-terrestrial civilizations exist, we expect to be able to see some trace of them with our telescopes. Particularly at Kardashev type II and above (star-scale structures like Dyson Spheres).

Fortunately if you fix the Drake equation, the paradox dissolves: https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.02404.

It also looks like conflating "success" with "high-paying career". Most people would probably consider a high paying career success, but the idea that we're not even questioning that assumption when talking about children's education shows how it gets propogated.
