Your initial post didn't seem like a question as someone who doesn't live in the US, it seemed to me more like an accusation.

As someone from south america living in the EU it seems to me fairly strange that it's not immediately apparent that the sort of violence depicted from the police is completely unwarranted - I've seen police raids in both south america and in the EU, and this level of going in fully armed with military-grade gear is only reserved for the most extreme of cases and /always/ supported by a court order. There's no argument whatsoever in that search warrants with no body of evidence should involve SWAT-team levels of response, which clearly was not the case as there's enough evidence to go around that the search warrant is literally a piece of paper that anyone can invent without need to provide supporting evidence for their claims.
Can this share memory with the host? wasm3 doesn't allow this[1] and requires you to allocate VM memory and pass it to the host, but that has several downsides (some buffers come from external sources so this requires a memcpy; the VM memory location isn't stable so you can't store a pointer to it on the host; etc.).

I'm really interested in a fast interpreter-only Wasm VM that can allow the host to share some of its memory with the VM.

I'm fine with the government making people aware of the risks, but not with banning gas stoves. I'm an adult, and if I want to take that risk for myself, that should be up to me to decide. The oft-trotted out argument that "well, when you get sick, the government has to take care of you and you are a burden to society" is nonsense. If sentient adults don't have the right to make their own choices and assess their own risks, because of some amorphous burden to society, then the entire concept of freedom and autonomy is out the window. This is an increasingly more important issue as people who push for "Socialism" strongly believe it should be up to the government to decide what you are allowed to do and should have the power to decide what "acceptable level of risk" adults are able to take on. It is also one that pushes people like myself away from "Socialism", which is unfortunate because I believe in a strong social safety net for those who are unable to support and/or take care of themselves (for whatever reason). But when push comes to shove, I'd rather live in a society without any social safety net whatsoever, where I was free to make my own decisions and take my own risks, than an authoritarian society with a social safety net.

Kinda related, but in Sydney, our grocery store "Woolworths" has been tightening the screws on the self-checkout.
It started without even a weight scale. Which was really convenient to use: Take everything out of trolley -> scan -> put back in trolley -> pay & go.

Then the weight scale had to be used.

Then it got more strict, and you had to tell it when using your own bags.

Then they had cameras near the barcode reader so you had to show the "item" when you scan the barcode otherwise it'd be like "I don't think that's a shampoo bottle, lets get a human to check". which was frustrating.

Now it's even worse, they have overhead cameras analyzing you, and if you click "finished" but leave a bag in your trolley(say, just a crazy thought, from one of the 200 other shops in the shopping centre), then they say "maybe you forgot something" and a human has to come check up on you. Also if you have bags in your hands, or on the floor.

I feel like they've been slowly training people... but also, it's now too cumbersome to use so I go to a person(and then complain when there's not enough people sitting at registers).

Economic data just out showed that wage growth is slowing. For normal folks that sounds bad, for economists it means inflation is finally being tamed.

What good is making more money if your money becomes worth less? The hard part is selling people on why stopping the status quo is actually a good thing.

I'm sure you can do that stuff with Make. Like I said though, I have tried and failed to get Make to stick for me in the past.

> Everyone ends up having to do this kind of stuff, and so the best tools are ones that take this in stride and make it easier to pull off even if it is at the expense of more pain for trivial project

I disagree. Lots of projects will never need support for multiple languages, code generation, targeting a vast array of platforms and architectures, etc and for those that do, there are workarounds that are a lot less painful than Bazel or Nix. I can go a looong ways with `go build` and some CI jobs before the pain of Bazel or Nix pay off. Basically, I don't think the "trivial projects vs everyone else" is a very good taxonomy, but rather it's "'approaching FAANG scale' vs everyone else".

If you're in the "approaching FAANG scale" group, then yeah, Bazel probably makes sense. For everyone else language-specific tools cobbled together with CI really is the least bad solution (and by a pretty big margin in my experience).

US unemployment is at a 50 year low.

"Not everything is zero-sum."

I didn't say it was zero sum - in fact it's definitely NOT zero sum. Adding gigabit to new homes will certainly - almost tautologically - come instead of something else.

The question is whether it's worth what you give up or not. Maybe it is, and maybe it's not. But it's hard to make the correct judgement when you focus only on the gains of the gigabit, but it's very hard to count all the things you DON'T do instead. There's no great solution to this, but we must at the very least be aware that we are giving up other things that we might also want.

As far as "creating jobs" - People are already working hard. "Creating a job" in one area really means (implicitly) re-purposing someone from a different activity of different value. This may or may not be a net win. The person could have been cutting hair, doing accounting, playing football, or simply running a fiber cable in a different area of town - but they aren't, they are running this cable right here where we "created a job."
I don't think the MIT license or the GPL (mentioned by someone else) are good parallels.

When you release software under an open source license such as those, you are not using a license designed and solely controlled by your business competitor!

> When push comes to shove a company will never show you loyalty beyond what makes economic sense and what is legally necessary

I disagree. Privately owned & profitable companies have plenty of leeway to practice loyalty to their employees beyond what is economical and legal. Even in the unprofitable tech startup world, if it was all about the money, you'd see people getting laid off right before their vesting cliffs, but that doesn't happen, which is to some degree an expression of good will.

That's literally what TFA does. Dispute the data or the argument if you want. "This site looks like it doesn't like fossil fuels" is not disputing the data. It's "I suspect there's another side that's not represented [duh] and I therefore will dismiss this information out of hand." It's a terrible heuristic to get anywhere.
The safety has some fun and practical side effects.

I put a paper towel between my cast iron deep fryer and my cooktop to keep it from leaving those weird oily rings behind.

That said... the ridiculous power does have 1 downside relative to safety. If you are heating oil on an induction cooktop, please set a contingency timer somewhere to remind you to turn it off. In the amount of time it takes a gas range to get oil dangerously-smoking, induction has already ignited it and its been a raging inferno for at least 2 minutes.
The Treasury yield curve has been inverted -- that is, long-term bond rates are lower than short-term -- for the last few months, which has traditionally (n=8) been a reliable indicator of an upcoming recession. The market mechanism leading to this signal isn't well-understood, but is certainly related to inflation expectations. The good news here is that the market expects that long-run inflation will be brought under control (otherwise, the 10-year t-bill rate would be much higher to compensate for expected inflation losses), but monetary policy to do so will impact economic growth.

The countervailing element here is that the economy is slowing down from a very fast clip: unemployment is historically low, job losses are pretty subsector-specific and tech employees are quickly finding new jobs elsewhere in the economy, the financial sector is healthy, and consumers aren't seeing the kind of destruction of wealth we saw back in '08. As a result, I'm still cautiously optimistic -- for whatever my opinion's worth -- that the Fed can manage a soft landing, though the ambiguous nature of current economic signals means that monetary over- or under-shooting is quite possible, leading to either a hard recessionary landing or continued inflation (noting that cost-push inflation due to factors such as COVID and the Russian war in Ukraine are not really manageable through monetary mechanisms, so hang-on inflation is likely to continue to eat away at economic performance).

Retailers and other consumers of business intelligence care a great deal, it's just not personal. It's easy to imagine numerous other categories of people for whom it is personal, from bounty hunters to political actors.

Get an electric or induction cooking surface and cook food and you’ll notice any and all air quality sensors reporting pollution if you have a poorly vented stove. The very process of heating oil to high temperatures to sear and brown foods emits all sort of pollutant.

You can live your life by boiling everything on an induction range or you can cook with gas indoors like billions of people have without issue for generations. Stop being weird.

The unfortunate thing is that companies have a lot more power, the relationship isn't symmetrical. An individual withdrawing from from a job offer has to worry about being blacklisted by the company and often even other companies in the industry (I know this to be the case w/ some positions in banking, admittedly not familiar w/ practices in big tech). I'm not saying people should feel bad about walking away from an employment agreement, nor do companies deserve loyalty, but definitely emphasizing your point to avoid burning bridges because a lot of industries are a lot smaller on the inside than they look.
I had a lot of trouble cooking on a halogen electic -- pulse on, pulse off -- stove and all those problems went away when I got an induction. For years I thought I was a terrible cook but it was always that terrible electric cooktop. The only thing that cooktop did well was boil water.

The most frustating thing I tried to cook was good, crispy hashbrowns. Believe me, I tried everything and the results were always soggy, greasy horror. When I switched to induction (and replaced all my non-ferrous pans) the results were perfect everytime.
"Automation" by definition involves the elimination or reduction of human labor, so I don't see how.

Huh, I didn't know that. So, wait, they send the pager message across the entire service area? How big is this range? Can it be nationwide? And that carries some privacy implications too, doesn't it?

It's worth pointing out that many people go through these experiences and never do anything like that. There's homeless drug addicts that would commit crimes, but never hold someone up at gunpoint... maybe break into a house and run away when there's an intruder, and feel very guilty.

At risk of sounding like a conservative (I don't consider myself one), greed, as well as a culture of violence, and wanting to be tough come into play. Lots of working stiffs out there, predominately POCs (due to inequality), will simply work the shit job and roll with the punches... as I understand, these people often suffer more than anyone, because despite keeping it on the straight an narrow, they are usually the most likely to be victimized.

That said, I see it this way: some people are predisposed to crime. Think of it like a genetic thing (in some cases probably it is). Under harsh conditions these people are far more likely to turn to extremism, and crime.

You kinda had it figured out. What was the point of going through all that for $100? It probably isn't even the best risk / reward ratio... some people just don't want to do "sneak crimes". Go to a prison and I bet some of the inmates say it themselves.

That said, the reality of living in a world stacked against you weighs on people, and working degrading jobs and dealing with bigotry must be exhausting and infuriating. To some the extreme fridges of society, and violence, feel more dignifying than playing a rigged game, and being insulted all along the way.

Many people do find probation stressful because of the perception that they’re being scrutinised: although there’s no difference in the legal rights at 5 months vs. 7 months service, an employee on probation may perceive probation as being a process that is being used to find a reason to fire them. I’ve only heard of one person “failing probation” through my career and they would have been terminated whether the company used probation or not.

Personally, I would never implement probation in my company because it is a stressful process for employees that provides zero value to employers (unless they want to stress out their employees).

You can't take any punishment back. If you sentence a man to 20 years but overturn it and release him after 10, that's still 10 years of his life you took. Being against capital punishment does not absolve you of the injustices of the justice system.

> How so, if they're not using WotC IP?

The concern is that changing that making OGL 1.0a unauthorized (has this already happened to 1.0?) has the effect banning further use of it with new works derived from works originally licensed under it or OGL 1.0 under the terms of ant OGL version (this relies on the any authorized version clause being seen as restrictive, not permissive.)

Its theoretically fixable for non-WotC dependent content, if everyone upstream relicenses under different terms starting from the root, but that's not going to help where creators are out of touch or license compatibility led to WotC content cross pollinating.
